The debate around France's controversial burkini ban continued to rage Friday, with reaction from both sides of the fence to the country's top administrative court overturning a ban in the Riviera town of Villeneuve-Loubet.

The move, which is expected to precipitate a collapse in all the other regional edicts, was welcomed by the likes of Amnesty International but condemned by far right figures including the National Front Leader Marine Le Pen.
Amnesty hailed the move as "an important line in the sand" while Le Pen insisted the battle is not over, the Associated Press reports.
"I can tell you that online on Sunday, we received 60 orders — all of them non-Muslim."
Consumers, meanwhile, have embraced the fashion item with open arms.
Sales of the burkini, or burqini, have actually spiked amid the furor, its Australian-Lebanese creator Aheda Zanetti has said. And many people buying the item are not Muslim.
"It's just been so hectic," she told reporters. "I can tell you that online on Sunday, we received 60 orders — all of them non-Muslim."
Zanetti says she normally gets 10 to 12 orders on a Sunday.
She's also been inundated with correspondence expressing support and gratitude for the garment, which covers a woman's head and body and provides protection from the sun.
"A lot of the correspondence was that they are survivors of skin cancer and they've always been looking for something like this, saying, 'Thank god we've found someone like this producing such a swimsuit,'" Zanetti said.
"The support I'm getting is somehow about empowering women... I feel like I've been a counselor. It's a cry of need that they want to have this enjoyment."
The burkini ban first came into force in Cannes on July 28, amid heightened tension and fear following several terror attacks in the country. It's since been put in place in numerous other resort towns but has attracted widespread condemnation.

Friday's ruling could set a precedent to reverse all the bans and also potentially enable women who have received fines to protest them, human rights lawyer Patrice Spinosi told the Associated Press.
"It is a decision that is meant to set legal precedent," he said. "Today all the ordinances taken should conform to the decision of the Council of State. Logically the mayors should withdraw these ordinances. If not legal actions could be taken. Today the state of law is that these ordinances are not justified. They violate fundamental liberties and they should be withdrawn."

Why Smart Parents Make Bad Sleep Decisions
by Meaghan Marks
The April 12 recall of the Fisher Price Rock n' Play struck a chord with moms everywhere — and not just because it's a baby registry staple, or because it seems to be a no-fail soother for wailing newborns with its soft noises and gentle inclined motion. The recall horrified moms because it validated our deepest, darkest fear: we're smart people who make unsafe sleep decisions.
Nearly 5 million Fisher Price Rock n' Plays were recalled (mine included), just days after American Academy of Pediatrics President Kyle E. Yasuda, M.D., FAAP, released a statement asserting there was "convincing evidence that the Rock n' Play inclined sleeper puts infants' lives at risk." The Rock n' Play has been linked to 32 infant deaths since 2011, per that statement, with some of those infants rolling over while unrestrained, and some unable to breathe in the correct position in the device.
Sometimes it can feel next to impossible to keep up with the do's and don'ts of parenting, but for millennial moms, safe sleep has practically been drilled into our brains. The AAP recommends the "ABCs" of safe sleep: place the baby Alone, on her Back, in a bare Crib. Add to that the number of tips and tricks that experts say can reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), from giving baby a pacifier, to keeping the room between 68 degrees and 72 degrees and using a fan to circulate the air, and suddenly bedtime has turned into a checklist of epic proportions. I followed every single one of them religiously, in addition to using an Owlet to monitor my son's heart rate and oxygen levels, placing him in the SNOO Smart Sleeper bassinet (now available to rent through Happiest Baby for around $3 a day) so he couldn't roll over and occasionally (fine, frequently) placing my hand onto his chest to make sure he was breathing during the night (technology can malfunction, right?!).
My daughter slept overnight in the Rock n' Play next to our bed, because she had reflux and we felt more comfortable with her sleeping propped up.
Safe sleep obsession aside, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had dodged a bullet with the recall of the Rock n' Play. I used it for daily naps during the first eight weeks of my baby's life, even leaving my newborn asleep in it while I took a quick shower or let the sleep deprivation take over and napped alongside him. And I am not alone among my fellow millennials — together, the most educated generation of parents in history, per the Pew Research Center.
Alicia Donohue, 34, of Albany, N.Y., used the Rock n' Play with her second daughter. "My daughter slept overnight in the Rock n' Play next to our bed, because she had reflux and we felt more comfortable with her sleeping propped up," Donohue tells Romper. "We think she felt snug, and it helped her sleep for the first few months."
Romper spoke to Dr. Harvey Karp, one of the most-trusted pediatricians and child-development experts (and inventor of the SNOO Smart Sleeper), about the recall. "Most people aren't there every second to supervise, and tragedies happen in just an instant," Dr. Karp says. "Inevitably, when you're exhausted and it's the only place your baby will sleep, you don't make good decisions."
Tara Temple, 33, of Ballwin, M.O., can relate. "I definitely fell asleep with my daughter on the couch, because she went through a stage where she would only sleep if held," Temple tells Romper. "I never moved an inch, but I was exhausted."
The sleep deprivation is no joke: new parents lose 44 days worth of sleep in the first year of their baby's life, per a survey by Ergo. The National Sleep Organization likens the effects of sleep deprivation to those of alcohol. A loss of sleep has also been linked to perinatal mood disorders — a study in Iran found that women with poor sleep quality in the postpartum period were three times as likely to experience depression, echoing the findings of a longer study following women to 36 months postpartum and published in Sleep.
Dr. Karp points to micro-sleep, or short bursts of sleep that happen without the person even being aware they took place, as being an immediate risk. "Half of your brain is already asleep even though you're awake," Dr. Karp says. "That happens all the time with new moms."
Decision-making is also broadly affected by sleep deprivation — we break the rules when we are tired.
Many parents are aware of safe sleep guidelines dictating that infants should sleep on a separate, flat surface on their back, and yet bring baby to bed, or put baby to sleep in swings, rockers, and "docks" out of exhaustion. Photo credit: Diane Durongpisitkul/Stocksy
Bed-sharing, when a parent and infant share the same adult bed for some or all of the night, is another practice that has risen in the past two decades, despite being at odds with the AAP recommendations for safe sleep.
"It's a fallacy that there is safe bed-sharing," Dr. Karp says. "There is safer, but not safe." He refers to a study that found that bed-sharing was a natural result of frequent nighttime feedings, with only 20 percent of babies starting the night bed-sharing, and approximately 60 percent of them ending the night in their parents' beds. In other words, parents don't necessarily intend to bed-share, but wind up falling asleep with baby because they are exhausted — and falling asleep with a baby on a couch or armchair is far more dangerous than on a clear flat surface.
I definitely fell asleep with my daughter on the couch, because she went through a stage where she would only sleep if held.
"The evidence that parent–infant sleep sharing is associated with sudden and unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) in certain hazardous contexts is strong," concluded a 2016 paper in ACTA Paediatrica. Even as SIDS deaths have dropped since the '90s, thanks to the back-to-sleep initiative, accidental suffocation and strangulation deaths have risen steeply, reported Pediatrics in May, are associated with smothering, loose bedding, and positioning wedges — altogether, accidental suffocation is the leading cause of death for infants under one year of age.
Kara Wilson, 33, of Morris Plains, N.J., admits to letting her toddler bed-share. "We chose to let our daughter sleep in our bed because we felt guilty about moving," Wilson tells Romper. "She was confused and upset, but it was a poor decision because she had never asked before and now it has become a habit."
Many baby products are not designed for sleep — and come with disclaimers around their use as a sleep product — but are nevertheless used for sleep. Take the DockATot, which parents love to use for infant sleep, and which is not regulated as a sleep product, despite its "breathable fabric." Car seats, swings, bouncers, and sleep positioners are all classified as unsafe for sleep by the AAP, and yet frequently used by parents driven to exhaustion.
Baby bouncers and swings are not sleep products, but parents often use them for infant sleep, and sometimes use them incorrectly. Photo credit: Shutterstock
So while the Rock n' Play is out of the picture, the discussion on infant safety doesn't end here. Dr. Karp stresses the importance of adding to the safe sleep story by educating parents on how to improve sleep in the first place, so they aren't drawn to unsafe practices when exhaustion is at its peak, especially given that part of the safe-sleep recipe is detrimental to infant sleep. "Babies are now on their backs in a flat, still bed as soon as they're born, because it's safer — but no sound, no motion, no swaddling," Dr. Karp says. "In essence, we take away everything they ever knew about sleeping."
Dr. Karp recommends white noise to imitate the womb experience and activate a baby's calming reflex. "When a baby is in the womb, they're underwater," he says. "Water filters out high-pitched sounds, so a loud, low and rumbly white noise will make them fall asleep." The closer the sleep environment is to the womb, the better: from tight swaddling to white noise and gentle motion. (While it comes with a high price tag, Dr. Karp's SNOO Smart Sleeper checks all these boxes and worked wonders for me.)
In addition, we can start a conversation around the challenges that arise with sleep deprivation, be clear about techniques that will get new parents more sleep (in the process debunking myths about sleep training), and encourage them to ask for help. As a new mom, I tried to remember that visitors were coming to see the baby, and when they offered to let me rest, I pushed aside the guilt that said I should be the perfect hostess and climbed (gratefully) into bed. This feeling of support gave me more confidence when the dusk-to-dawn duties rolled around and ultimately led me (along with all that technology) to make safer sleep choices for my family.

Saint-Norbert is a small village of about 1000 residents in Quebec. This is an entirely francophone community with about 450 homes. It is a parish municipality in the Lanaudiere region of the province and thanks to its charm and beauty, is visited by many people throughout the year coming from houses for sale Ottawa to those from Europe. This site is dedicated to the charm and life here in Saint Norbert.
This area was first settled by the French in 1761 but it was not until 1848 that the small village got its own parish. This was because at the time it was such a distance to travel to the nearest place of worship that the people living in Saint Norbert at the time decided that they needed to construct a place of their own. If you're coming down to visit from working with Toronto condos for sale and are interested in old and new buildings than you will want to see the chapel in the centre of the town. It was completed in 1876, making it about 135 years old. A convent was added along the Bonaventure River in 1886 but it has since disappeared.
Saint Norbert is located at almost the halfway point between Trois-Rivieres and Montreal and is a far cry from the sort of life that you would see when looking out the windows of a cosmetic dentistry Toronto office building. This is the true country life that many areas around Quebec are known for. There are many travel and vacation options within the Lanaudiere Region. This is a place full of outdoors and leisure sites, relaxing resorts, culture and heritage. This is certainly a place to come to play, explore, or stay.
This area is known as cottage country, snowmobile country, and as a great place for a day of outdoor adventure. If you're coming here to stay than you could experience the cabin life cooking over the fire. Or, you might want to plan a large event at this central location. There are many sites that would be perfect for a wedding, family reunion, or even a corporate retreat for a HVAC Mississauga office. You will find a number of festivals and events throughout the year that feature the music and cuisine of the area. This might be a quiet and small town but there is always something to do and see for those who are willing to look for it. And you should remember that Saint Norbert is only one community in this large region.
Our site is devoted to all of the different things that make a community like Saint Norbert great. For residents, we will tell you about the real estate of the area and where you might go to find work within a reasonable commuting distance.

Mick Jagger Update: What Health Problems Is He Experiencing?
The Rolling Stones recently shocked fans worldwide when they announced their upcoming "No Filter" tour was getting postponed. The reason they gave was equally shocking – according to the official announcement from the band, Mick Jagger, the band's longtime frontman, would require immediate medical treatment. His doctors advised him to postpone the tour in order to get the needed treatment and allow time for recovery.
Fans were concerned for Jagger's health, but recent headlines have shed a bit more light on the current medical situation, and the exact course of treatment for the wiry singer.
What health problems has Jagger dealt with in the past?
At 75 years old, Mick Jagger has been performing for more than 50 years and has incredible physical stamina. His concert performances seem to defy the laws of aging, as he leaps, prances, and dashes over stadium-sized stages. However, even legends like Mick Jagger experience health problems and Jagger has dealt with several over the course of his iconic career.
The 2014 suicide of his longtime girlfriend, fashion designer L'Wren Scott, hit Jagger hard. Following her untimely death, the Stones were forced to put their concert dates on the back burner while Jagger recovered from what was reportedly an attack of acute traumatic stress disorder. A death in the family can cause anyone to suffer health issues, but Jagger proved that he was a true champion, and within a few months of her death, got back on his feet and continued performing.
What surgery will he be having?
On April 1st, reports released the exact nature of Jagger's latest health setback. According to MSN, Jagger will undergo surgery in order to replace a valve in his heart. The procedure is set to take place on Friday, April 5th. Jagger's doctors have advised that the frontman is expected to make a full recovery and get back to touring once he's adequately rested and fit to hit the road once more.
Jagger's bandmates, while no doubt upset about the tour getting postponed, have been openly supportive of Jagger. Keith Richards, Jagger's bestie (and occasional frenemy) of more than 50 years, tweeted his support on March 30th, saying that while he's disappointed about the tour, things need to be taken care of and that they will be seeing everyone soon. He added, "Mick, we are always there for you!" Fellow guitarist Ronnie Wood also took to social media to express his affection for Jagger, thanking everyone for their supportive wishes and saying that they will be seeing all their fans on the road very soon.
When will the band get back on the road?
The "No Filter" tour was scheduled to kick off later this month, with tour dates all across the United States. It was to be the band's first U.S. tour in many years, and tickets for the shows sold out in record time. Fans are disappointed, to say the least, but there is a silver lining. The Stones have only postponed the tour, not canceled it, so ticket holders have been advised to hold on to their tickets, as they will still be honored at a later date.
That later date has not been announced as of yet, but various news outlets are reporting that the tour will likely pick up in July. This is of course, dependent on how quickly Jagger is able to recover from his heart surgery, and on how soon he feels up to the grueling tour schedule that the Stones set for themselves. Fans everywhere are no doubt sending Jagger their best wishes as the legendary frontman tackles this latest setback with toughness and determination.

Optical spectroscopy for nuclear and atomic science at JYFL, Finland
Published on October 30, 2017 October 31, 2017 by AlbertoMAlonsoUCL
On Wednesday 4th of October, we had the privilege of having Professor Iain D. Moore from the University of Jyväskylä as an invited speaker for one of our AMOPP seminars. The seminar focused mainly on the work they have been doing at the various accelerator facilities at JYFL and had a good mix of nuclear and atomic physics content.
Professor Iain D. Moore kindly agreed to provide a copy of his presentation slides which you can download here.
Iain D. Moore, University of Jyväskylä
High-resolution optical measurements of the atomic level structure readily yield fundamental and model-independent data on nuclear ground and isomeric states, namely changes in the size and shape of the nucleus, as well as the nuclear spin and electromagnetic moments [1]. Laser spectroscopy combined with on-line isotope separators and novel ion manipulation techniques provides the only mechanism for such studies in exotic nuclear systems.
Internationally, there are a myriad of tools in use however these are traditionally variants of two main workhorses in the field – collinear laser spectroscopy and resonance ionization spectroscopy. Following a short overview of the Accelerator Laboratory at the University of Jyväskylä, I will briefly present both techniques and their use in accessing the heavy element region of the nuclear landscape which exhibits rather scarce information from optical studies. This reflects a combination of the difficulty in producing such elements (low production cross sections) and a lack of stable isotopes (thus few optical transitions available in literature). Indeed, this past year has seen a number of exciting developments including optical studies of exotic atoms produced at the level of one atom-at-a-time [2], and high-resolution spectroscopy in supersonic gas expansions [3].
Recently, we have initiated a new program on the actinide elements in collaboration with the University of Mainz. I will summarize the current status of the work which includes collinear laser spectroscopy on Pu, the heaviest element attempted with this particular technique [4]. Our focus has recently turned to the study of the lowest-lying isomeric state in the nuclear chart, 229Th. Almost 40 years of research has been invested into efforts to observe the isomeric transition which, if found, may be directly accessed by lasers. In 2016, the community was given a tremendous boost with the unambiguous identification of the state by a group in Munich, providing a stepping stone towards a future realization of a "nuclear clock" [5].

Bristol Rovers transfer deadline day agenda: What business could be done by Darrell Clarke?
What deals could be struck by Rovers on deadline day?
We're now into the final hours of the January transfer window, and with deadline day comes all the hype, rumour, excitement and disappointment.
Bristol Rovers have so far seen two permanent deals completed this month - one in and one out.
Billy Bodin's departure to Preston North End came early in the window, and the former Rovers forward opened his account for the Lillywhites last night.
Meanwhile Bernard Mensah has joined Rovers from non-league Aldershot Town, making his Gas bow as a second half substitute in the 3-1 victory against Bradford City.
So, as we head into the final hours of of transfer window, what business is still on the agenda for Rovers?
That was Darrell Clarke's ideal scenario for this month when asked at the turn of the year. He's so far brought just the one player in, and has said he's seen other deals break down at the last minute, with financial reasons a big factor in players' decisions.
With less than 12 hours left it seems unlikely that Rovers will make three further permanent signings before the window slams shut.
After the Blackpool stalemate on January 13, Clarke revealed he was still in the market for three players, naming centre-back, defensive midfield and winger as the positions he wanted to strengthen.
He also said after the match with Bradford City that the victory against the Bantams changes nothing in terms of his plans in the transfer window.
There have been no signings since Mensah on January 11, but could Clarke be waiting for other moves elsewhere to fall into place before landing some reinforcements?
What's the deal with Tony Craig?
It is now widely reported that Millwall defender Tony Craig looks set to join Bristol Rovers. The defender was named on the bench for the Lions last night in their 0-0 draw with Derby County but didn't get on the pitch.
Craig's children were mascots on Saturday as the 32-year-old played a rare 90 minutes against Rochdale in the FA Cup fourth round, and many Millwall fans saw it as a goodbye from a player who has started 300 matches for the club.
Could Craig join as a free agent?
So, Craig may join Rovers before the deadline tonight, or there is a chance he could join later this week. That would involve the defender being released from his Millwall contract - which expires in the summer - and then joining Rovers as a free agent.
If the deal was done this way, Craig could join after this evening's deadline.
From the very start of the month, Clarke has made it clear he is trying to avoid loans if at all possible. The Rovers boss explained in the first week of the window how scores of loan players had been offered to him, but they represented a risk.
Perhaps with one eye on next season too, Clarke is understandably keen to bring in players on permanents contracts.
But he has softened his stance to short term deals in recent weeks, saying he would be open to topping up his squad numbers with loan signings during the final week of the window.
It seems very, very unlikely that Rovers will complete no more business this month.
As mentioned, Clarke ideally wanted three or four permanent players this window. With just one through the door so far - and Rovers losing their best player too - Rovers still need to strengthen.
Even if Clarke is happy with his current Rovers first team squad, and understandably so after six matches unbeaten, it is still a risk to not boost squad numbers in case of injuries or suspension.

The 15 Best Turkish Series of 2022
Team Dizilah December 31, 2022 ⚡ 10738 Views
There was no shortage of quality Turkish series to choose from in 2022. From authentically Turkish dramas to feel-good rom-coms, this year provided top-of-the-line content for everyone and with that came our first introduction to many new and immensely talented faces.
Even with the threat of cancellations hanging over our heads, we found ourselves falling back in love dizis this year, so here, in no particular order, is our attempt at narrowing down the best Turkish Series of 2022.
Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy)
Having broken every record there is (well, almost), it is fair to say Yalı Çapkını is making its way onto the list of Best Turkish Dramas ever made, and rightfully so.
Produced by OGM Pictures, the classic family drama tells the story of two sisters whose paths cross with the heir to a family full of betrayal, lies, and secrets.
Suna is to be wed to Ferit, the heir to the Korhan jewelry empire, but having never met his bride-to-be, Ferit - a spoilt casanova who is not interested in settling down - happens upon her younger sister, Seyran. Totally captivated by Seyran, Ferit's sets his mind on marrying her instead. While the arrangement suits Suna and Seyran's father, who just wants a shot at the Korhan's riches, both of the young women are thrown through a loop, and Suna starts to hatch wicked revenge plans to take back the future she believes has been stolen from her.
Yalı Çapkını, which is based on works by the renowned author Dr. Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu, has been a huge success for Star TV this year for many reasons, but the most obvious is its outstanding, well-chosen ensemble cast, led by Afra Saraçoğlu, Mert Ramazan Demir, and Çetin Tekindor. Each cast member lends weight and depth to the solid, multilayered story that pulls you right in and keeps you coming back for more.
Aldamak (Deception)
ATV has had its fair of classic Turkish dramas through the years and in its short time on screen, Aldatmak is slowly but surely climbing the ranks.
Produced by the iconic TIMS&B, the legal drama follows the story of Güzide Yenersoy, a respectable family court judge, who has dedicated many years to perfecting the image of her own family. To the best of Güzide's knowledge, her husband, Tarık, is an experienced and successful lawyer, running his own law firm; her son, Ozan, is a construction engineer working at a prestigious company, and her daughter, Oylum, is studying medicine in the Netherlands. But the real truth couldn't be farther from Güzide's reality. Her husband has a second family born out of an affair, her son is drowning in debts caused by his own idiocy, and her daughter is one plane ride away from New York, where she plans to follow her real passion: dancing.
Behind closed doors, family can be really messy, and Aldamak does a praise-worthy job of navigating the mess. The characters in the series are very well-written but Aldamak benefits significantly from its masterful cinematography which is supported by a mesmerizing musical score that elevates the tempo of each episode.
With the impeccable level of production that is very reminiscent of big-budget Hollywood movies, there is nothing quite like Aldatmak on Turkish TV right now.
Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi (Another Chance)
BKM may not make as many TV series as the next guy but when the production house delves into creating one, magic happens.
Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi was the last of the summer series to be announced but it is now the end of the year and it is the last of the summer series left standing.
In the drama series, life comes as it knows to Sadi Payaslı, Ankara's indomitable bully once upon a time. Having had his come to Jesus moment, Sadi is placed into the witness protection program, trading in his shady past for a new life as a geography teacher at Karabayır High School, a penal institution for juvenile delinquents.
Armed with his unshakable sense of justice, Sadi balances out his past wrongdoings at the school by taking care of a group of convicted students who have never been given a fair chance.
The official logline for Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi describes the series as a "realistic look at Generation Z" and that couldn't be any more accurate. Turkish TV has had its fair share of preppy teenagers bedazzled in all the jewels and privilege, so Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi's alternative approach to life as a teen was very much welcomed. Writer Gani Müjde shies away from clichés and instead relies on gritty realism, the result of which is a raw and intense drama that effectively explores the multitude of challenges faced by each character.
Of course, the many shippable duos (*cough #SadGül *coughs*) in the show are the real icing on the cake.
Bir Küçük Gün Işığı (A Little Sunshine)
One of the best decisions we made this year was checking out ATV's Bir Küçük Gün Işığı.
Written by Özgür Evren Heptürk, the series follows event planner Elif (Seray Kaya), whose life spirals out of control after the unexpected death of her husband. Grief-stricken and recovering from the shock of losing her husband, Elif learns that not only was her husband unfaithful for years, but also he had a kid, Güneş, with the other woman, a kid he so happened to register, legally, as Elif's child. Navigating through the huge mess her husband left behind, Elif meets the oh-so-charming Fırat (Berk Oktay), who, wait for it, turns out to be the brother of the woman with whom Elif's dead husband fathered a child ?
This all lays out the groundwork for good ol' Turkish drama, which, thus far, has had us clapping and screaming with every twist and turn.
The best part of the series is unarguably the phenomenal performance by the small but mighty Azra Aksu, who plays Günes. With little to no spoken lines in the series, Aksu's body language and excellent use of facial expressions brings a top-tier level of sincerity to her character, leaving the audience with a realistic encounter with the plight of many abused children.
To top it off, the show's attractive leads, Seray Kaya and Berk Oktay, share infectious onscreen chemistry that adds a lot of real warmth to the series.
With characters as well-written as Elif, Günes, and Firat, Bir Küçük Gün Işığı is a must-have on your watchlist.
Dünyayla Benim Aramda (Between The World and Us)
Disney+ made a splash with its launch in Türkiye this year, and with its deep pockets came fantastic originals like Dünyayla Benim Aramda.
In Dünyayla Benim Aramda, Ilkin (Demet Özdemir) worries that her famous actor boyfriend Tolga (Buğra Gülsoy), is no longer in love with her. So, in a bid to get their relationship back on track, she reaches out to her boyfriend from a fake social media persona she creates, a persona that soon turns into the perfect woman to seduce her lover.
Pınar Bulut remains one of Türkiye's most brilliant writers and she once again showcases her strong pen game with Dünyayla Benim Aramda, delivering a quintessential yet modern-day take on a classic tale. In between wanting to establish the motivations of the character Ilkin and anticipating the fallout from the catfish, the audience is left with nail-biting thrills that prove consistently engrossing.
It should be exciting to see where the series goes in its already-confirmed second season.
Zeytin Ağacı (Another Self)
In 2022, Netflix's continued commitment to delivering stellar Turkish content brought us a gem of a series, titled Zeytin Ağacı.
The visually delightful series follows surgeon Ada, lawyer Sevgi, and mom-fluencer Leyla, three college roommates turned lifelong friends. After Sevgi is re-diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that refuses to take to conventional treatments, the trio embarks on an impromptu road trip to Ayvalık in a bid to find a man named Zaman, famed for his spiritual methods of healing.
The trip to the seaside town becomes an adventure of self-discovery as each woman is challenged with confronting their own personal demons along the way.
In eight episodes, Zeytin Ağacı touches on a host of familiar themes, ranging from family dynamics to spiritualism to even romance but its most valuable asset is recognizing and highlighting the role generational trauma plays in shaping who we become as individuals. From less-than-perfect marriages to body-related insecurities, Ada, Sevgi, and Leyla each carry their own personal baggages, some of which they are aware of, others not so much, but as they undergo spiritual awakening and get a better understanding of themselves, they figuratively feel up space, both mentally and physically, allowing them to rediscover the best version of themselves.
Now the best-performing Turkish series to date, Zeytin Ağacı is enriched by mastery of scenery and the naturalistic chemistry between the show's leads, Tuba Büyüküstün, Boncuk Yılmaz, and Seda Bakan.
Tozluyaka (One More Chance)
Backed by superb performances from its young cast, it is no mistake that Tozluyaka was one of this summer's best-performing new series.
A classic whodunnit mystery with compelling twists Tozluyaka follows a close group of friends as they don their investigative hats to uncover the real truth behind their friend's supposed suicide. To get to the truth, Ali, Zeyno, and Arap enroll in the elite private school where their friend Vefa was a student, but the insidious power of wealth and outright snobbery make it hard for them to fit in. As they get accustomed to their new surroundings, the class divide is gradually surmounted and their lives are changed forever.
Audiences love a good underdog story and Tozluyaka triumphs greatly on that front with help from its stars. In the first episodes, you think you can tell the good guys from the bad guys but as the story unravels, it is clear everything isn't so black and white, and that in turn makes the series as exciting as it is engrossing.
Erkek Severse (When A Man Loves)
With the short life span of rom-coms on Free TV, it has always been our ultimate dream to have an OTT platform create one, and in 2022, that dream very much became a reality.
Erkek Severse led the opening of this new and exciting streaming era, premiering earlier this year on beinConnect (now called TOD). Served up on 26 entrailing episodes, the series follows the love story between the passionate and beautiful Zeynep (Büşra Develi) and charismatic businessman Kenan (Alperen Duymaz), and the rivals who threaten to doom their romance with a web of deception and lies.
Duymaz and Develi share incredible chemistry as the series' leads but what really set the rom-com apart was its rather refreshing script. For one, the character Zeynep is a single mother of two, and as she realistically juggles the struggles of having to not only keep a job but also cater to her kids, amid an ongoing custody battle with her knucklehead ex, a strong female lead that we can all get behind is born.
Another standout asset to the series is the level of communication between its main couple. If you have ever watched a Turkish rom-com, you know the struggle. Writer/Creator Asli Zengin drastically improves on her previous works with Erkek Severse, turning the "how long will they be apart" frustrations all the way down, in turn creating a clear and concise story.
Duy Beni (Hear Me)
Duy Beni is easily the most popular Turkish series released this year and for once, you can believe the hype.
The young adult drama, set in a prestigious high school, explores the endless teenage struggle of living with bullying, social injustice, and high school romances. The series centers on Ekim, a young teenager who is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend Gerçek High School, a school for wealthy kids, after an accident caused by one of the school's pupils, leaves her best friend wheelchair-bound. There, she is forced to survive among rich and spoilt kids, learning in time that all that glitters is not gold.
When tackling prevalent issues such as bullying on TV, the line between what's essential and what's exploitative is often blurred, however, Duy Beni does many things right, from casting of painfully relatable high-schoolers to its explorations of power dynamics between the haves and have-nots in a high school setting.
While a number of scenes were sprinkled with a heightened sense of realism to trigger a certain reaction from the audience, Duy Beni stays committed to its goals of highlighting just how damaging bullying can be.
Midnight at the Pera Palace
Netflix continues to keep true to its promise of producing more Turkish series and 2022 brought along ones of its best Turkish originals to date, Midnight at the Pera Palace.
Stemming from the award-winning Charles King novel with the name, the 8-episode series centers on a young journalist, Esra's encounter with the legendary Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul. Assigned to write a piece about the hotel, she accidentally discovers that one of the historic rooms is a portal to the year 1919. Thrust into the past, she lands in the middle of a political conspiracy against the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Science fiction and Turkish storytelling is a tricky combo that requires getting used to but it does work when done right, and in the case of Midnight at the Pera Palace, it was done right.
In highlighting more of its historic side against the backdrop of the Pera Palace, the series' insane production level, direction, and cast, led by Hazal Kaya (Esra), Tansu Biçer (Ahmet), Selahattin Paşalı (Halit), triumphantly transports the viewer into the eras it is set in and as we jump back and forth, the script manages to keep viewer very much engaged.
Kızılcık Şerbeti (One Love)
Show TV's Kızılcık Şerbeti was met with controversy before it even premiered, but naysayers were quickly reminded never to judge a dizi by its fragman.
Kızılcık Şerbeti tells the captivating story of the idealistic Doğa (Sıla Türkoğlu), who falls hopelessly in love with Fatih (Doğukan Güngör), a charming man from a religious family whose values clash with that of her mother.
Having tried and failed at the marriage thing, Kivilcim (Evrim Alasya), a single mother of two has always had bigger plans for her two daughters. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that her oldest daughter Doğa not only plans to marry a man from a devout family, but she is also expecting a child with him. Like her mother, Doğa is stubborn and goes through with the marriage despite her mother's many objections but having been raised "secular" all her life, she soon comes to learn, the hard way, the familial responsibilities that come along with cultural barriers.
The plot of Kızılcık Şerbeti isn't anything particularly new or groundbreaking, but with the glitz and glamour splattered all over TV all the time, we are unconsciously pre-programmed to lean more towards one side of a coin with two very distinct, yet equally valid sides.
Bolstered by fine performances from its cast, the series gains ground in its approach to very real and complex issues by challenging audiences to set aside their own bias, assumptions, and prejudices surrounding hot-button topics like class, religion, secularism, and confront the societal stigmas and stereotypes placed against them.
Kus Uçusu (As The Crow Flies)
Netflix's Turkish originals remain hit or miss but the streaming giant is yet to go wrong betting on works by Ay Yapım.
From the mind of the incredible Meric Acemi, Kus Uçusu intricately explores the complex power dynamics, in the cooperate world through Gen X, who, for the most part, still hold decision-making positions, and Gen Z, the fast-rising generation.
In the series, We follow the story of the crow-like Asli (Miray Daner), who utilizes conniving and manipulative methods to reach the top instead of relying on the merits of hard work.
The intelligently crafted drama probes the ramifications of Asli's methods in the ever-changing cooperate world, leaving the viewer embattled with their own moral dilemmas.
Kus Uçusu highlights a lot of parallels between what is right and what is wrong and in drawing on the strengths of its cast, the end product is a solid drama that packs just the right punch to please even those who are new to Turkish dramas.
Üç Kız Kardeş (Three Sisters)
Based on a book with the same title, Üç Kız Kardeş follows the story of three siblings who were raised by doting, overprotective parents. Türkan (Özgü Kaya), Dönüş (Almila Ada), and Derya's (Melisa Berberoğlu) fairytale-like upbringing left them unprepared to face the harsh realities of adulthood, and as they grow and come to their own, they come to discover that life and the choices that are accompanied by it are not as easy as they seem.
Sometimes all it takes to make a good dizi is a really awesome script and great actors, albeit big names. Set in the 90s, Üç Kız Kardeş takes the viewer on a journey back in time, brilliantly and convincingly juggling its characters' experiences along the way.
There is heart at the series' core and with each episode served up with hard life lessons that are still very much applicable today, Üç Kız Kardeş is a must-watch for fans of old-fashioned Turkish dizis.
Baba (Our Father)
If there's one thing to be said about Ay Yapım, it is that they are the true connoisseurs of the 'family drama' genre.
Earlier in the year, the powerhouse production house launched Baba, which followed a large family's evolution from barely making ends meet to having more money than they knew what to do with.
For the longest time, the strict Emin Saruhanli held the title of patriarch of a crowded family living together in a small town in Izmir. Proud and as stubborn as they come, Emin ruled his family with an iron fist, so much so that he let his son get arrested for a matter that could have otherwise been handled within the family.
But despite his many years of asserting his dominance, the trappings of wealth and power radically transform the lives of his family members when Emin is named the head of the powerful Saruhanli Holding Company following the untimely death of his estranged brother.
It's often said that money is the root of all evil and Baba brilliantly utilizes each and every one of its characters in illuminating the true meaning of the phrase. With every generation properly represented, the series delivers an authentic and well-balanced look at the human condition, prompting the viewer into a game of self-reflection.
Mix in an impressive bit of storytelling with a all-star ensemble cast that includes the likes of IEmmy winner Haluk Bilginer, Ayda Aksel, and Tolga Sarıtaş, and the result is a cinematic Turkish delight.
Seversin (Love and Hate)
Turkish romantic comedies tend to lean more towards the romantic side of things but Seversin breaks the mold with a script that's equal parts hilarious as it is romantic.
Burak Yörük stars as Tolga, a famous young actor at the top of his career but dissatisfied with his life, and İlayda Alişan as Asya, an ordinary girl with big dreams of making something out of herself. After a chance encounter, black and white collide with Aysa landing a role of a lifetime she couldn't be any less interested in, and Tolga, with a heavy price to pay for underestimating her.
Anyone who isn't fluent in Turkish knows the struggle of trying to understand comedic scenes as most of the good stuff often gets lost in translation. In the case of Seversin, the fast-paced and witty dialogue supported by its cast's strong sense of comedic timing made for a truly enjoyable viewing experience. If you're looking to just sit back, relax, and have a good time, Seversin is just the show for you ama dikkat, the 20-episode series will definitely have you laughing out loud frequently.

In Azure docs, they have given the code in Node.js.
Since Iam using that code in react and accessing from front end, is it showing CORS error?
How to solve this issue?

A: As you can see in the SDKs and REST APIs docs, ACS Email library is meant to be used in a trusted service environment. This is because there is no reasonable way to protect your connection string in the browser.
In your case, building a Node.js backend and letting your React app talk to it would be a good and preferred solution.

I am a small in home breeder of AKC registered Yorkshire Terriers. I am a retired pharmacist who is loving my new job cuddling puppies. I strive to raise healthy well-adjusted puppies who will be a pleasure to own and love. As a medical professional, I am continually researching and reading good sources for information on dogs and care of them. I work closely with my veterinarians as they are the experts,. I have noticed a lot of bad information floating around the internet these days. I always choose the science-based approach. I want my medicine evidence-based and my science peer reviewed so I do not go with a lot of the pseudoscience I see everywhere. I will go to established sources only for the latest information. I belong to my local dog club and I am working on getting more involved with showing and performance events. This is a passion for me and I have never enjoyed what I do more than now. I stand behind my dogs and I will be available to answer questions or to help you find the correct answer when you need me. I want all my puppies in the very best home I can find for them and I want them to stay there so I will be here to help you in any way I can.
Today's Yorkshire Terrier is very different from the early Yorkshire Terriers of the North of England. These were primarily working dogs, much larger than today's Yorkies. These terriers were inevitably crossed with other types of terrier, probably the English Black and Tan Toy Terrier, and the Skye Terrier; it is also thought that at some stage the Maltese Terrier was crossed with these breeds to help produce long coats. As the outline of the Maltese resembles that of many of today's Yorkies, this is very likely. We can see in today's Yorkies how strongly the terrier temperament has been retained.

Q: When a const variable is no longer valid outside a block, is the memory it points to also invalid? I know that const is block scoped - the variable shouldn't exist outside the block it's defined in.
In the following code:
function createElement (tag, text) {
    const el = document.createElement(tag);
    el.textContent = text;
    return el; //shouldn't this be returning a reference to variable el?
}

const aquaman = createElement('li','Aquaman'); //el shouldn't exist here, but aquaman is now assigned to the reference to el. isn't this a memory leak?

I'm confused as to why this is OK.
el should be a reference to the space in memory that createElement allocates.
the method is returning a pointer to that object, right?
typeof(aquaman) > "object", which tells me that aquaman is also a pointer, but is this a pointer to the same part of memory that was allocated by the document.createElement method?
from my understanding, const variables are only valid in the block they are declared/defined in. So just because the variable is no longer valid, that doesn't necessarily mean that the block of memory that the variable is pointing to is also invalid?

A: Objects are not destroyed until all references to them are gone and garbage collected. When the object is returned, the calling code obtains a reference to it, and the object is not garbage collected. So when you return el you have a reference to it in the calling block, and thus the object is not destroyed - the memory is valid.

A: "So just because the variable is no longer valid, that doesn't necessarily mean that the block of memory that the variable is pointing to is also invalid?"
Correct.
From MDN:

The const declaration creates a read-only reference to a value. It
  does not mean the value it holds is immutable, just that the variable
  identifier cannot be reassigned. For instance, in the case where the
  content is an object, this means the object's contents (e.g., its
  parameters) can be altered.

Exploitability:
CWE CWE-770
CAPEC
Locate and Exploit Test APIs
An attacker exploits a sample, demonstration, or test API that is insecure by default and should not be resident on production systems. Some applications include APIs that are intended to allow an administrator to test and refine their domain. These APIs should usually be disabled once a system enters a production environment. Testing APIs may expose a great deal of diagnostic information intended to aid an administrator, but which can also be used by an attacker to further refine their attack. Moreover, testing APIs may not have adequate security controls or may not have undergone rigorous testing since they were not intended for use in production environments. As such, they may have many flaws and vulnerabilities that would allow an attacker to severely disrupt a target.
An attacker consumes the resources of a target by rapidly engaging in a large number of interactions with the target. This type of attack generally exposes a weakness in rate limiting or flow control in management of interactions. Since each request consumes some of the target's resources, if a sufficiently large number of requests must be processed at the same time then the target's resources can be exhausted. The degree to which the attack is successful depends upon the volume of requests in relation to the amount of the resource the target has access to, and other mitigating circumstances such as the target's ability to shift load or acquired additional resources to deal with the depletion. The more protected the resource and the greater the quantity of it that must be consumed, the more resources the attacker may need to have at their disposal. A typical TCP/IP flooding attack is a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack where many machines simultaneously make a large number of requests to a target. Against a target with strong defenses and a large pool of resources, many tens of thousands of attacking machines may be required. When successful this attack prevents legitimate users from accessing the service and can cause the target to crash. This attack differs from resource depletion through leaks or allocations in that the latter attacks do not rely on the volume of requests made to the target but instead focus on manipulation of the target's operations. The key factor in a flooding attack is the number of requests the attacker can make in a given period of time. The greater this number, the more likely an attack is to succeed against a given target.
Excessive Allocation
An attacker causes the target to allocate excessive resources to servicing the attackers' request, thereby reducing the resources available for legitimate services and degrading or denying services. Usually, this attack focuses on memory allocation, but any finite resource on the target could be the attacked, including bandwidth, processing cycles, or other resources. This attack does not attempt to force this allocation through a large number of requests (that would be Resource Depletion through Flooding) but instead uses one or a small number of requests that are carefully formatted to force the target to allocate excessive resources to service this request(s). Often this attack takes advantage of a bug in the target to cause the target to allocate resources vastly beyond what would be needed for a normal request. For example, using an Integer Attack, the attacker could cause a variable that controls allocation for a request to hold an excessively large value. Excessive allocation of resources can render a service degraded or unavailable to legitimate users and can even lead to crashing of the target.
XML Ping of the Death
An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
XML Entity Expansion
An attacker submits an XML document to a target application where the XML document uses nested entity expansion to produce an excessively large output XML. XML allows the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
XML Attribute Blowup
This attack exploits certain XML parsers which manage data in an inefficient manner. The attacker crafts an XML document with many attributes in the same XML node. In a vulnerable parser, this results in a denial of service condition where CPU resources are exhausted because of the parsing algorithm.
XML Nested Payloads
Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. By nesting XML data and causing this data to be continuously self-referential, an attacker can cause the XML parser to consume more resources while processing, causing excessive memory consumption and CPU utilization. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In most cases this type of an attack will result in a denial of service due to an application becoming unstable, freezing, or crash. However it may be possible to cause a crash resulting in arbitrary code execution, leading to a jump from the data plane to the control plane [R.230.1].
XML Oversized Payloads
Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. By supplying oversized payloads in input vectors that will be processed by the XML parser, an attacker can cause the XML parser to consume more resources while processing, causing excessive memory consumption and CPU utilization, and potentially cause execution of arbitrary code. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In many cases this type of an attack will result in a denial of service due to an application becoming unstable, freezing, or crash. However it is possible to cause a crash resulting in arbitrary code execution, leading to a jump from the data plane to the control plane [R.231.1].
HTTP DoS
An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.
Violating Implicit Assumptions Regarding XML Content (aka XML Denial of Service (XDoS))
XML Denial of Service (XDoS) can be applied to any technology that utilizes XML data. This is, of course, most distributed systems technology including Java, .Net, databases, and so on. XDoS is most closely associated with web services, SOAP, and Rest, because remote service requesters can post malicious XML payloads to the service provider designed to exhaust the service provider's memory, CPU, and/or disk space. The main weakness in XDoS is that the service provider generally must inspect, parse, and validate the XML messages to determine routing, workflow, security considerations, and so on. It is exactly these inspection, parsing, and validation routines that XDoS targets. There are three primary attack vectors that XDoS can navigate Target CPU through recursion: attacker creates a recursive payload and sends to service provider Target memory through jumbo payloads: service provider uses DOM to parse XML. DOM creates in memory representation of XML document, but when document is very large (for example, north of 1 Gb) service provider host may exhaust memory trying to build memory objects. XML Ping of death: attack service provider with numerous small files that clog the system. All of the above attacks exploit the loosely coupled nature of web services, where the service provider has little to no control over the service requester and any messages the service requester sends.
XML Parser Attack
Applications often need to transform data in and out of the XML format by using an XML parser. It may be possible for an attacker to inject data that may have an adverse effect on the XML parser when it is being processed. These adverse effects may include the parser crashing, consuming too much of a resource, executing too slowly, executing code supplied by an attacker, allowing usage of unintended system functionality, etc. An attacker's goal is to leverage parser failure to his or her advantage. In some cases it may be possible to jump from the data plane to the control plane via bad data being passed to an XML parser. [R.99.1]

Karylle also reveals what she liked most about the past year.
After doing the stage adaptation of Rama Hari last year, Karylle said she was happy about doing the epic musical which was also a collaboration with Ballet Philippines. The singer-host said the feedback from both local and foreign audience members was very positive.
"Kung dadalhin yung production internationally hindi ko alam. Wala namang ganung balita pero I was just really happy that all the Filipinos came out to support and watch Rama Hari, even the foreigners. Pag may standing ovation nangunguna madalas ang mga foreigner at kahit paglabas namin sa lobby ng CCP ay talagang sumisigaw pa rin sila dahil sa sobrang happy nila. Yun nga sabi nila sana dalhin nga abroad or foreigners should come over and watch it here kasi napakalaki ng production para ilabas. But more than that, kinikilig ako for Ballet Philippines, yung mga staff kasi yung mga nagbebenta ng tickets sinasabi nila sa akin na very pleased sila dahil sabi ng mga usher parang Phantom of the Opera yung dami ng tao kasi hanggang mga balcony. So thank you sa lahat ng sumuporta at nanuod ng Rama Hari kasi it means a lot to Filipino artists who come out with original work by Bienvenido Lumbrera, Mr. C (Ryan Cayabyab), Ms. Alice Reyes of Ballet Philippines at mahirap talaga pero susuportahan namin dahil maganda po," she said.
The Showtime host said she enjoyed rehearsals for Rama Hari and going to the local auditions for Miss Saigon as well. "Actually one of the reasons why I also did audition was nanumbalik yung love ko for theater. As a theater artist, you have to know that it is part of it. It's just really sad that the media portrays it as such, that it has to be something to be ashamed of. A lot of people didn't even go on the second day of callbacks because of the way media portrayed it. And it's sad but you have to be tough," she admitted.
Karylle also weighed in on what 2012 had in store for her. "Madami masyadong best moments eh. But I guess it was the family getting together for my mom (after the death of Dolphy). It's different kasi pag ganun eh, yung pag may pagsubok tapos sasama-sama sila lahat. Iba yung love na nararamdaman mo," she admitted.
When it comes to love, Karylle said family is the most important for her. "The best lesson about love for me? Siguro that yung love for family is just so strong, yung lahat ng barriers kunwari, layo dahil yung mga pamilya ni Mama nasa States, nawawala lahat ng barriers na yun. There is no problem too big na hindi malalagpasan dahil sa sobrang intense at lakas ng pagmamahal ng isang pamilya," she added.
During the holidays, Karylle said she stayed in the country with her dad. "Gift ko na sa sarili ko yung day off. Like nung Sunday na first day off ko nung December, nagkaroon ako ng days off para magsulat ng kanta, ganyan. Ang tagal ko na kasing hindi nagagawa yun para sa sarili ko, siyempre kailangan mo din ng quiet time," she said.
When it comes to what gifts she received from Sponge Cola vocalist Yael Yuzon, Karylle said they are not like other celebrity couples who divulge what kind of gifts they give each other. "Wala naman. Hindi naman ako corny para i-share ko pa yan. Tapos na ako dun nung teenybopper," she said.


What are the benefits of sealing?
Sealers allow for the improved cleaning ability of the surface. Staining is reduced, and any spills that do occur are more easily removed or fixed. When the correct sealer is used on new surfaces it may also aid in curing the concrete.
What happens if concrete is not sealed?
All Un-sealed decorative concrete surfaces will weather and deteriorate prematurely. If you have any Un-sealed concrete or aggregate it will stain more easily.
Sealers, don't allow outside contaminants to penetrate or absorb into concrete and makes surfaces easier to clean or fix than unsealed concrete.
Resealing will be necessary when signs of wear or weathering become apparent (this may include flaking, peeling or "patchiness"). The most common sign of wear or weathering is when the concrete appears "faded" but darkens when wet.
Staining concrete is one of the most popular applications for transforming any concrete area into art. Once referred to as colored concrete, homeowners, designers and builders are now drawn to stained concrete because of the unique outcome that can be achieved: Combining colors, application techniques, etc., on cement flooring and other substrates, will create unique textures.
What to expect from Staining Concrete.
Because of concrete's porous qualities and neutral tone, it is the perfect blank canvas for topically applied color. Using acid-based chemical stains, decorative concrete contractors have been able to achieve rich, earth-toned color schemes resembling natural stone, marble, wood, or even leather, giving a completely custom look to cement floors, concrete driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, concrete walls and more.

Q: Why is the result not what I expect? I'm copying this code snippet into Chrome's console.

function F() {};
F.prototype.fMethod = function WOT() {console.log(this)};

function G() {};

Object.setPrototypeOf(G.prototype, {...F.prototype.fMethod, ...Object.prototype})

console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(G.prototype));

What I expected Object.getPrototypeOf(G.prototype) to return was
{
function WOT, //the content/properties of the object `F.prototype.fMethod` points to.
constructor: ... //the content/properties of the object Object.prototype points to.
hasOwnProperty: ...
isPrototypeOf: ...
}

You can see what I get on Chrome console here:

A: Apart from it is not clear what you want to achieve, probably the most close we can be to what you want to achieve could be:

function F() {};
F.prototype.fMethod = function WOT() { console.log(this) };

function G() {};

console.log(Object.prototype);

Object.setPrototypeOf(G, { ...F.prototype,
  // since Object.prototype is an empty object, next line is irrelevant
  ...Object.prototype
});

console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(G));

Once said that I strongly suggest you to clarify which is your target so we can help you to find a better way to achieve it.

A: On the line
Object.setPrototypeOf(G.prototype, {...F.prototype.fMethod, ...Object.prototype})
You are setting the prototype of G.prototype as an empty object because
// You are unpacking two objects
{
  ...F.prototype.fMethod, // is your WOT function which has no owned properties to unpack
  ...Object.prototype // which is an empty object
}

HOW DID "REEFER MADNESS" GET STARTED?
Health	by Roxy Bentsen Faulkner April 8, 2017 April 8, 2017
THE HEARST/DuPONT/ANSLINGER CONSPIRACY
As we all know, marijuana is a "weed" that grows almost anywhere in the world. It is considered a mild hallucinogen with no more negative side effects than aspirin, and with many potential medicinal uses including pain relief for a variety of diseases and maladies facing many American citizens.
For a few recent examples of the medical establishment's position on medicinal use of marijuana, go here:
http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/…
Prohibition agents: destroying contraband alcohol
There is virtually no substantial history of any concern about the "evils" of marijuana in American society until the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, called the Volstead Act, or more commonly referred to historically as Prohibition. When alcohol prohibition went into effect, it was a big boost for cops, since many new police, customs agents, and U.S. Marshals were added to the government dole to protect American from the evils of alcohol. Just like today's unjust marijuana laws, Prohibition was unpopular with the vast majority of Americans and was a complete failure. In fact, Prohibition increased the level of violent crime in America by opening the door to smuggling rings, bootleggers, and organized crime syndicates. In fact, the rise of the Mafia – and such notable criminals as Al Capone – can be traced directly back to the institution of Prohibition. Gangsters became rich and often gained celebrity status, elevating murderous thugs into national heroes.
See any parallels with the current War on Drugs? Anyone seen American Gangster? I rest my case!
During Prohibition – an era also referred to as The Roaring Twenties – government corruption was rampant and police – a huge portion of them on "the take"–had no desire to see Prohibition end. The booze ran free at speakeasies, morals were loose, and jazz was the music of choice, performed predominantly by African-American musicians who also had a penchant for marijuana.
As the 1920's moved into the 1930's with gang wars becoming commonplace and public dissatisfaction with Prohibition at it's peak, it became clear to even the most corrupt government officials and even organized crime that the Volstead Act had to go. But it would not go quietly, and something had to be created to take it's place to keep law enforcement funds rolling in and organized crime in business.
Local and federal policing agencies had grown fat during Prohibition, and a repeal would put many of them flat out of work. At the same time, the tyrannical William Randolph Hearst, the most powerful newspaper owner in America, began printing falsified and exaggerated stories about the "evils of marijuana". A blatant racist who despised Hispanics and Blacks, Hearst used his vast newspaper empire to create hysteria among white parents, alleging that "pushers" – most of them from the lowly ethnic minority class that Hearst despised– would be dealing marijuana to high school kids, turning them into addicts who would quit school, commit violent crimes like murder and rape as depicted in the laughable film "Reefer Madness", produced in 1936.
In fact, creating public hysteria over smoking marijuana was simply a smokescreen for Hearst and the wealthy DuPont family to prevent the cultivation or importation of hemp products into the United States. The DuPont's held many lucrative patents on chemicals used in manufacturing plastics, paper, and paints that could become valueless if hemp products and hemp oil derivatives became widely available. But how could they prevent this harmless weed from making their billion dollar patents worthless?
Easy. Outlaw hemp cultivation and importation. But first, the public needed to be convinced that hemp was an "evil". During the 1930's, the Hearst and DuPont families, in conjunction with corrupt or ignorant government officials, condoned and popularized movies, books pamphlets, and and newspaper articles warning about the evils of smoking marijuana. This tacit conspiracy worked beautifully. By 1930, many states had already criminalized marijuana use and labeled it a "narcotic"! White America had adopted the lunacy of "Reefer Madness" as pure truth.
In 1930, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was created to enforce then existing laws regulating and prohibiting the use of opiates, heroin, and cocaine. In 1933, the Volstead Act was repealed by the adoption of the 21st Amendment. Harry J. Anslinger had been the Commissioner of Prohibition, but transitioned to Commissioner of the FBN in 1930 while Prohibition was on the verge of repeal. Between 1930 and 1937, Anslinger, in conjunction with the Hearst/DuPont Empires, had convinced several more states to outlaw marijuana possession. As time went on, more and more states, inundated with more and more hysterical anti-marijuana propaganda, outlawed the harmless herb. But to preserve the DuPont interest in keeping hemp and its derivatives from becoming a commercially viable product, he needed federal legislation. And he got it.
In 1937, The Anslinger Act – formally known as the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 – was passed by Congress. It imposed a prohibitive tax on the cultivation and importation of hemp and hemp products. In conjunction with existing state laws criminalizing marijuana use, the Anslinger Act effectively criminalized marijuana use at both the state and federal levels. In his testimony before Congress in 1937, Anslinger made several outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about marijuana use, calling it "a national menace", "dangerous to mind and body", and at one point calling it a substance "that releases all inhibitions" in those who use it. It is important to note that many of the supposedly "true" stories about "reefer madness" that he relied on in his testimony before Congress encouraging criminalizing marijuana at the state level involved incidents involving Black Americans, Hispanics, and other ethnic minorities. By tying the "evil weed" to ethnic minorities who were already the subject of bigotry and discrimination, he had little difficulty in convincing WASP American that marijuana was an addictive narcotic!
For an in-depth historical narrative illustrating the Hearst/Dupont/Anslinger involvement in manufacturing Reefer Madness and their collective effect on passage of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, go here:
http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/taxact/anslng1.htm
THE WAR THAT NEVER ENDED—THE WAR THAT CANNOT BE WON
So, the "War on Alcohol" simply transitioned into the current "War on Drugs" including the innocuous pot plant. Many in Corporate America were happy with the ban on hemp and hemp derivatives. The law enforcement establishment turned its focus from alcohol to heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and other "narcotics". The number of cops increased, and the "dole" paid to them by crime syndicates and smugglers during Prohibition continued, this time with the focus being the narcotics trade. The now-entrenched crime syndicates gave up bootlegging and simply peddled different products, predominantly heroin. Hemp ceased to ever be a viable commercial product in America, and marijuana use has been a crime ever since. And things haven't changed much in the past 88 years, at least from the law enforcement perspective. Any suggestion of cut-backs in Drug War funding or suggestions of drug legalization immediately brings whining and panic from police agencies across the country.
It is complete Madness!

I, Paul, am under God's plan as an apostle, a special agent of Christ Jesus, writing to you faithful believers in Ephesus. I greet you with the grace and peace poured into our lives by God our Father and our Master, Jesus Christ. How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He's the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, God has given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. That is, in Christ, he chose us before the world was made so that we would be his holy people—people without blame before him.
I'm writing this letter to all the devoted believers who have been made holy by being one with Jesus, the Anointed One. May God himself, the heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, release grace over you and impart total well-being into your lives. Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.
