21 NIGHT World CRUISE
Wed Jul 26th 2023 London to New York
Onboard Coral Princess
London(Dover) / ENGLAND, Invergordon, Lerwick(Shetland Isl.) / UK, Akureyri / ICELAND, Reykjavik / ICELAND, Nanortalik(Ilivileq), Qaqortoq, Corner Brook, Quebec, Saguenay, Sydney, Halifax, New York
Day 1 : London(Dover) / ENGLAND
The white cliffs of Dover are famous in song and story. From Dover you can visit nearby Canterbury or take a full-day excursion to see the sights of London, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and more.
Day 3 : Invergordon
Cromarty Firth opens in Scotland's saw-toothed Atlantic coast, welcoming travelers to the safe haven of Invergordon. This capital of the Scottish Highlands contains vivid reminders of the fierce independence of the Highlands clans. Visit Cawdor Castle, tour a famous scotch distillery, or scan the dark, windswept waters of nearby Loch Ness for signs of the monster.
Day 4 : Lerwick(Shetland Isl.) / UK
There are 100 islands comprising the Shetlands, the area known for its beautiful woolens. They were first settled by the Vikings, and only became Scottish in the 15th century. Today, ferries run to Aberdeen, and to Norway. Lerwick enjoys the tradition of raising sheep and fishing, and the riches of oil in the North Sea.
Day 6 : Akureyri / ICELAND
Day 7 : Reykjavik / ICELAND
This pristine European island is filled with glaciers, volcanoes, and hot, mineral-rich springs to explore. Native Icelanders have a remarkably rich history and culture, and would love to share it with you - they are great storytellers. Stroll through the charming Austurvollur Square, and be sure to stop in one of the many cafes for some of the freshest seafood you''ll find anywhere. Or visit the mighty Gullfoss or "Golden Waterfall," the most dramatic cascade in Europe.
Day 10 : Nanortalik(Ilivileq)
Day 11 : Qaqortoq
Day 14 : Corner Brook
Day 16 : Quebec
The only walled city in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Quebec City has a distinct French flavor and is blessed with a spectacular location on a cliff overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Dominating the skyline is the splendid hotel Chateau Frontenac, a romantic sight with its steep-pitched roofs and French-style turrets. Quebec City is an explorer's delight with cobblestoned streets, 17th and 18th-century buildings, an immense star-shaped fortress and a funicular that you can ride between the upper and lower towns. Visit the Petit Champlain quarter, the oldest part, the Place des Armes and Plains of Abraham-all with a genteel, European character.
Day 17 : Saguenay
The largest Fjord in eastern North America, this majestic fjord was created during the last Ice Age when glaciers deepened an ancient river bed. In some places the cliffs tower 1500 feet above the river and you'll delight in watching for cavorting whales at the junction of the Saguenay and St. Lawrence Rivers.
Day 19 : Sydney
Nova Scotia's second largest city, Sydney is located on Cape Breton Island. While the tradition is definitely Scottish, one of the highlights of a visit to Sydney is the restored French fortress at Louisbourg-where shopkeepers and inhabitants dress, live and produce goods in the tradition of the 18th century. At Sydney, you'll also find some of Eastern Canada's most beautiful parks and trails. The Alexander Graham Bell Museum is worth a visit, too.
Day 20 : Halifax
Ascend the hillside streets to the Citadel, a star-shaped fort built in 1749, where the traditional Noon Gun recalls the British garrison. Visit the restored wharves of Historic Properties, now filled with shops, and Halifax Public Gardens, the oldest formal Victorian gardens in North America. Or drive out along the Lighthouse Route to the rustic fishing village of Peggy's Cove, for postcard-perfect Nova Scotian scenery: lobster pots, fishing boats, and a shining Atlantic seascape just offshore.
Day 22 : New York
This vibrant city is actually a rich mosaic of many "neighborhoods." Feel the excitement of Broadway with its great plays and musicals. Explore the financial district-Wall Street and there''s Soho with its galleries, famed Greenwich Village, Midtown, with its glamorous department stores and soaring architecture, and museums everywhere. It truly is a wonderful town!


On Saturday, March 17, 2018, DINT Detectives seized a historical amount of methamphetamine. During an operation. DINT contacted two subjects in a traffic stop on I-5 near milepost 151. During the stop, a canine, Trapper, was applied to the vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotics. Detectives searched the vehicle and located what appeared to be a very large amount of methamphetamine. Both occupants of the vehicle were arrested. The meth was seized and transported to DINT where it could be processed and tested. The total amount of meth seized was approximately 74 pounds, net weight, which is the largest single seizure of meth in DINT history. DINT also seized an undisclosed amount of cash, and the suspect's vehicle. 30 year old ISRAEL SALVADOR MERCADO-MENDOZA, of Creswell, Oregon, and 33 year old RIGOBERTO MORFIN-PEDROZA, of Los Angeles, CAlifornia were both arrested and lodged in the Douglas County Jail on charges of Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, and Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine. If sold by the pound, in local street value this meth would be worth approximately $370,000. It would be worth much more if broken down and sold in smaller quantities. DINT was assisted by the Oregon State Police in this case.

Home Opinion The Sahadeva condition
On the matter of the responsibility of the intellectual in the society, Edward W. Said has famously said that he (she/they) must speak "truth to power". Noam Chomsky thinks it is unnecessary because power already knows the truth. Therefore, he must speak "truth to people". These observations constitute the context for this piece. Our story is about Sahadeva, more specifically on what we have called here the "Sahadeva condition".
Sahadeva, the youngest Pandava, had a special gift from his father, god Ashwini Kumara: he would only have to look at his palms and the entire universe would be visible to him. Not merely that, he would be the knower of the past, the present and the future, which would make him the wisest advisor.
If anyone asked him, he would certainly tell him what would happen to him or what had happened to him, depending on whether the question was about the past or the future. Says Sarala Das in his Mahabharata: je tote pachariba gata agata katha / abasya tu kahibu bhuta bhabishya barata (whoever would ask you about the past or the future / you would certainly tell him about the past and the future).
The word "abasya" (must/certainly) suggests that once asked, he would be obliged to tell the truth but Ashwini Kumara said nothing about how it would affect him if he chose not to tell. There was no obligation on his part to the effectthat he had to tell what he knew in a direct and straightforward manner – without having recourse to ambiguity or metaphor or circumlocution, leaving it to the asker to apply his mind to get at the intended message. Sahadeva knew about his special powers; so did everyone in the world of Sarala Mahabharata.
When, in the "Mango of Truth" episode in Sarala's version, Krishna asked the Pandavas and Draupadi to tell some truth about themselves, Sahadeva said that he knew the past, the present and the future but he would not tell anyone things on his own. He would tell only when asked and the asker then would never be in difficulty.
In Swargarohana Parva, when Sahadeva fell to his death on the icy and windy Himalayas, Yudhisthira told the anguished Bhima, who had drawn his attention to his fall, to abandon him. He was a sinner and grievous was his sin, he told him. His sin, said the son of Dharma, was that he knew the past, the present, and the future but would keep mum. Had he said what would happen, things would have been very different. Unlike in Vyasa Mahabharata where Sahadeva's sin was his arrogance for his knowledge, here it was his inclination – for Yudhisthira, it was his conscious decision – not to share what he knew with the relevant others when doing so would have helped.
The Mahabharata world would not have suffered that terrible destruction of colossal proportions. The final verdict of Sarala Mahabharataon this matter is that knowledge must be shared and sharing is the responsibility of the one who has the knowledge.
But why didn't Yudhisthira ask? He knew it very well that once asked, Sahadeva would say what he knew. Actually, he had asked him, as they were preparing for the war, in the presence of everyone including Lord Krishna. Sahadeva had told him that he knew what would happen but wouldn't tell because he felt unsafe – he was afraid of bother Bhima.
During a war, one side never won every day; some days the enemy would win. Even Lord Rama did not win every day during his war with Ravana. The war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas would not be different in this respect. Sahadeva was afraid that if he said that on a certain day the Pandavas would lose, brother Bhima would bash him up badly. Truth must not be told to everyone; only those who had the composure to receive it, deserved to be told the truth.
But was Sahadeva's fear about Bhima justified?It was, as the Belalsena episode shows. Soon after the war, with the dead and the dying bodies still on the Kurukshera battlefield, the Pandavas, Kunti, Draupadi and Subhadra started arguing about who must be given the credit for victory. Each of them claimed that the victory was solely due to him or her.
Soon the exchange degraded into an unpleasant faceoff. Krishna told them that if they wanted to know the truth, they should ask the severed head of Belasena who had seen the war from the beginning to the end. When they asked him, he said that he hadn't seen anyone killing anyone else. All he had seen was a resplendent, dazzling chakra (discus), shining brighter than myriad suns, moving to and fro in the war fields, killing warriors on both sides. His father, Bhima, was so upset with his son's not supporting him that he slapped the head hard.
It fell from the top of the post, from where he had witnessed the war and died. Truth did not protect him from violence. It was another matter that Krishna absorbed his essence and freed him from the cycle of karma. Clearly, Sahadeva's apprehension about Bhima was not unfounded. Bhima wasn't evolved enough spiritually to accept the truth.
But why didn't Yudhisthira ask him about the result when he was going to play the second game of dice, which led to the exile of the Pandavas for long thirteen years, including the year when they had to spend incognito? It didn't occur to him to ask.
He had been obsessed with defeat in the first game of dice and was desperate to play again and win. Winning the game of dice had become a fixation with him. So he went to Hastinapura with his brothers and Draupadi to play another game with Duryodhana, in effect, Sakuni. No one in Sarala Mahabharatahad asked him to return to Hastinapura toplay the game of dice again.
But when the fateful time came, Yudhisthira condemned Sahadeva as a sinner for keeping knowledge to himself. He forgot the Bhima factor and also his not asking him about what would happen in the game of dice.
There is a Sahadeva in every intellectual. He has the knowledge but being unsure about his own protection, he would always be hesitant with regard to whether or not he would share it with any one, be it power or people. He also knows that he will be harshly judged, if out of concern for his safety, he had chosen not to share his knowledge. This is the "Sahadeva condition". While defining the responsibility of the intellectual, neither Said nor Chomsky seems to have thought about the individual intellectual's extremely unenviable situation.

If you're a fan of post punk new wave music I highly recommend watching the 1982 film, Urgh! A Music War. Apparently this film which features the The Go-Go's, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Dead Kennedys, The Police, of course Devo and many many more awesome acts was regularly broadcast on the USA network during the early days of cable. And I missed it!

A glance at the Superliga title odds will tell you that Nordsjælland are no favourites. In the eyes of the bookmakers, reigning champions Copenhagen are nailed on to retain their crown. You know, the Copenhagen who are currently sitting 5th, ahead of newly promoted Hobro on goal difference. But the reality is, come June, they probably won't be far away.
Expectations are a funny thing in football. Rewind to the middle of July when we were reluctantly watching first team players leave Farum for pastures new and wondering just what we could realistically expect from the 17/18 season. And these were not just any players. Our captain. Our back-to-back 'Player of the Year'. The club and Superliga's top goal scorer. Almost the entire spine of our team within a few weeks of each other. That's a big rebuild job for any team. All the excuses were there to accept a backwards step this season and I think even the most optimistic fan would have been delighted with a repeat performance of the 16/17 season and securing a place in the Top 6 this year.
But so far, the team have shaken off any such concerns as they proudly sit on top of the Superliga. Points-wise the current team are TWELVE points better off than last years, more than double, at this stage of the respective seasons. Quite remarkable.
We're approaching the two year anniversary of being reunited with Kasper Hjulmand and during his second tenure the club has developed an admirable resilience to set backs which has led to us being referred to by many inside and outside the club, as the 'Comeback Kids'. It is an overused football cliché for sure, but it couldn't be more fitting to this group of players.
Sunday's magnificent ten minute turnaround at Jysk Park was no one off. In fact, of the 11 games played so far, we've fell behind in 7 of them. But this team doesn't know when they are beaten. Over the last calendar year, we have amassed a total of 30 points from losing positions. To put that into context, the next closest in the Superliga in the same time span is Brondby with 16 points.
Personally speaking, I think there is a different mind-set amongst our squad these days. There's a real character and self belief about this club in the last 12 months that I haven't personally witnessed before. Not so long ago, picking up a point at a tough away venue, having been under pressure for the majority of the game would have been considered a real positive. But as I was in mid-celebration of Emiliano Marcondes 90th minute equaliser at Horsens, I noticed there were muted reactions on the pitch. Emiliano's instant reaction was to get the ball back to the centre circle. He wasn't settling for the point, he wanted all three. The same again at Silkeborg. Mathias Jensen barely cracks a smile after his equaliser and Emiliano immediately retrieves the ball. Can you tell how many times I've watched Sunday's highlights back?
Whilst it's great to set the bar high and bask in the glory of a great start to the season, it's important to keep our expectations in check when things don't go our way. Moments after a painstaking 93rd minute Kees Luijckx equaliser for ten man SonderjyskE hit the back of the net and on the back of a disappointing loss to AGF, emotions were running high and it was easy to overlook all the good that has gone before. As frustrating as those results were, and it was approaching Marvin Pourie levels of frustration, context is important. It doesn't mean we are immune from criticism. Would it be reasonable to expect to win at home to a team with only 1 point away from when they arrived in Farum? Absolutely. Would it be reasonable to expect to hold on to a comfortable 2-0 half time lead at home? Without question. But after the initial frustration subsides, I do have to question the lost sense of perspective.
FC Nordsjaelland are a team defying the odds and long may it continue.

'Final Fantasy' Live-Action TV Show in the Works
by Dave Trumbore June 27, 2019
Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind (The Expanse, The Witcher) announced today a new partnership with global video game powerhouse Square Enix to develop a first-of-its-kind, live-action adaptation of a beloved chapter from the blockbuster Final Fantasy series, which has sold more than 144 million units worldwide across three decades.
The live-action television series will tell an original story set in the fantastic world of Eorzea, based on Final Fantasy XIV, the franchise's blockbuster online role-playing game. Since it first debuted in 2013, the online title has continued to delight and amass millions of players around the world year over year and only further cemented Final Fantasy as one of the most storied and influential franchises in gaming history.

Inspired directly by the world and characters of the title's fourteenth installment, the project will embrace the bold and genre-bending sensibilities of the revered and long-running Final Fantasy series as it explores the struggle between magic and technology in a quest to bring peace to a land in conflict. Filled with iconic hallmarks of the title's revered mythology – magitek and beastmen, airships and chocobos – the forthcoming series will feature a mixture of new and familiar faces. Those will, notably, include the live-action debut of Cid – one of the games' central and most beloved characters who has appeared in almost every installment of the franchise to date.
Here's what Sony Pictures Television Co-President Chris Parnell had to say:
"Final Fantasy XIV and Eorzea are the perfect gateway into Final Fantasy for longtime fans and newcomers alike. This show is about embracing and embodying all of the elements that have made the mythos such an endlessly captivating phenomenon, and it's an immense honor to be bringing all of Eorzea's iconic characters, settings, and concepts – including fan-favorites like Cid and, of course, the chocobos – to life for a television audience."
Jason Brown, Hivemind Co-Founder and Co-President, added:
"Television is the ideal medium to capture the extraordinary depth, sophisticated themes, and unparalleled imagination of Final Fantasy and its multitude of unique and fully realized characters. We are working tirelessly to bring together artists from around the world who are united in honoring the extraordinary legacy of this franchise and its millions of fans around the world."
Brown, Sean Daniel, and Dinesh Shamdasani of Hivemind will serve as Executive Producers on the series. Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton (Winter's Knight, The Wells Initiative) have been commissioned to write for the series and will also serve as Executive Producers.

Solar cells are made using semiconductors such as silicon. Semiconductors are useful materials because they can be doped with impurities to change their electrical properties, forming either 'positive' (p-type) or 'negative' (n-type) material. A solar cell consists of a layer of p-type and a layer of n-type semiconductor sandwiched together to form a pn junction. This pn junction induces a fixed electric field. When the device is exposed to light, consisting of photons, some of the incident photons are absorbed and temporarily liberate electrons from their covalent bonds in the crystal lattice. This can only occur if the energy of the incident photon is greater than the amount of energy required to break the covalent bond, known as the bandgap energy. Each liberated electron leaves behind a hole (a space once occupied by an electron) which acts as a positive charge. In an ordinary semiconductor material, these electron-hole pairs recombine after a short time. In a solar cell, however, the electric field formed by the pn junction attracts electrons to the n side and holes to the p side. This charge separation induces a voltage across the device. When the two sides of the pn junction are connected together via an external circuit, current is able to flow, thus producing electrical energy.
The efficiency of solar cells decrease when temperature increases. During construction, encapsulation materials should be thin as possible for better thermal conductance. The primary method of cooling the cells is airflow over the panels while the car is moving. When the vehicle is stationary the team is allowed to spray it with water, cooling it by evaporation. It is good to note that if the array has no load on it, for example it is not connected to the battery pack, it should be removed from the sun if possible. If the energy has no place to go it will turn into heat causing the cells to expand and possibly damaging the array.
Each sub-array is connected in series, which means that current is the same through each module. Human error during array construction can cause some modules to perform better than others. After testing the modules we group them into similar power outputs. We then split the list into the number of sub-arrays we have giving us a high powered, medium powered, and low powered sub-array. Within the sub-array we make sure to place the best performing modules in spots with the least incident sunlight and our worst modules in spots with the most. Since the sub-array is only as efficient as the weakest link this helps insure we get maximum power.
An MPPT is a DC to DC converter that optimizes the match between the PV solar array and the battery pack. Essentially it converts the lower DC solar array voltage up to the higher DC voltage needed to charge the batteries.
Maximum Power Point Tracking is electronic (usually digital) tracking. The controller looks at the solar panel output and compares that to the battery voltage. The controller then figures out what the optimal power is that the solar panel can put out to charge the battery. It then takes that and converts it to determine the best voltage to get the maximum current into the battery pack.
Because each sub-array is connected in series, if a spot is shaded you have a large amount of power trying to force it's way through the uncooperative spot. If not alleviated, this power is dissipated as heat and may cause an array fire. Hotspot testing helps identify small defects in a solar cell that may cause problems when shaded.
A way to limit the risk impact of hotspots is to use bypass diodes. A bypass diode is placed in parallel with a string of cells; if that string cannot output the current that the rest of the array demands it will be bypassed through the diode.

Tina finds her real voice
BERNARD ZUELThe West Australian
Thursday, 11 February 2010 3:30PM
Camera IconTina finds her real voice Credit: The West Australian
The voice still has a sense of wonder about it. "Something came together in those four days," Tina Harrod says slowly, letting the silence afterwards be the punctuation.
Harrod is not one to waste time with idle chat or sentimental claptrap; she's more inclined to look sceptically on effusive praise and outbursts of emotions.
So for her to make this comment about the recording of Temporary People, her third album but the first written and recorded after the death of her long-time musical and life partner Jackie Orszaczky, is a sign of the depth of feeling behind the work.
Unlike her previous album, Worksongs, which mixed some originals in with a batch of standards and favourites of hers, the new album, which is more inclined to jazz than her soul roots, is all original material by Harrod and her clutch of bass player co-writers, Jonathan Zwartz, Dave Symes and, of course, Orszaczky.
"I could never hear enough bass in my parents' stereo and I used to drive them crazy because I had to turn it up so loud," says Harrod, who is touring to Perth this month.
The music came from Harrod and Zwartz, in particular, finding some really good language, in part because it was the right time for Zwartz to branch into writing material. But was it also the right time for the lyrics?
Harrod's words are powerful, honest and effective meditations on the contradictions of long-lasting love. "Yeah, it was the right time, though I didn't know it," she chuckles. "They just sort of came out very fast, which was a real shock, you know, because you kind of have to rethink the way everything works, the way I work.
"And when you look at the words you write you realise that some of that you've lived but some of it you're living now. Some of it is almost like a prophecy and that's really fascinating, quite mysterious and beautiful."
The changes aren't confined to the way she works but the way Harrod, one of our finest vocalists, sings. Where once she was just about our best soul singer, now she's something broader, more challenging.
"I'm not singing funky soul music any more," Harrod says. "The sound on this album is more me and soul is just part of it. But the music we play, like the jazz standards, I approach in a different way, too. I am not doing anything radically different with those songs; I'm just being myself. And the more I get to know who that is, the more interesting the music becomes."
The truth is, great singers only reach that place after knowing themselves through love and loss and pain and life. Which may be why Harrod looks like she is approaching her peak.
"Don't say that," she says urgently, as if convinced that this means she's reached the end. But listen to the album and you hear a woman who isn't burdened with a young or inexperienced singer's fear of sounding imperfect but, instead, is searching for truth.
"All these years I tried to sing perfectly," she says dismissively. "But something much bigger than my little wants from day-to-day is operating when I'm singing. And that bigger picture has taken me as a singer by the horns and decided how I'm going to sound." <div class="endnote">

The audience has to endure some horrendous sights in Daniel Radcliffe's latest movie, "Jungle," which is based on a true story.
These include a worm being extracted from a person's forehead (in real life there were 14 of them) and a monkey being grilled and eaten – but at least a dreadful Israeli accent isn't one of the horrors.
As anyone who has ever heard Tom Cruise's Irish accent in "Far and Away," Brad Pitt's Austrian accent in "Seven Years in Tibet" or Keanu Reeves' allegedly English accent in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" can testify, a lousy accent can render the most serious scene comical.
So, kudos to the "Harry Potter" star for delivering a decent Israeli accent, even though it probably helped that one of his producers on set was an Israeli, Dana Lustig.
The film is based on the best-selling 1993 book by Yossi Ghinsberg –which was called "Back from Tuichi" in his native land, referencing the fateful river he rafted down in Bolivia. The story recounts his three hellish weeks when a trek goes disastrously wrong, leaving him lucky to be alive and this viewer grateful he watched the movie on an empty stomach.
It's the kind of cautionary tale any parent should make their offspring watch before heading off to South America on their gap year (the kids, not the parents). It's also a useful reminder, if one were needed, that venturing into the deepest, darkest jungle is probably best done with maps, compasses and a semi-sane tour guide.
Radcliffe put himself through the wringer for the part: He didn't eat for two days before shooting scenes where he had to appear emaciated – giving a whole new meaning to the term "rumble in the jungle." (The real-life Yossi lost 35 pounds during his traumatic time there.) Yet the "Harry Potter" star cited the Israeli accent as perhaps his biggest challenge.
"It's an accent so different from my own, and so different from any accent I've ever done," he told Parade, while explaining to Newsweek that "Israeli accents are tricky for an English person – and Yossi's is even more specific than your average Israeli accent.
"I think I went to a slightly Israeli-American thing when we started filming," he added, perhaps unaware that this is the standard Israeli accent.
The truth is, Radcliffe doesn't have a huge amount of dialogue in the film. Yossi is a man of few words, literally spending half the movie lost in the wilderness. The few words he speaks are almost all exclusively English, even when alone. Indeed, I counted only one word of Hebrew throughout: "Aba," in a painfully on-the-nose flashback scene with his Holocaust-surviving father.
But what's more remarkable than Radcliffe's accent is the fact he's simply playing a normal Israeli in an English-language movie (albeit in an abnormal situation). Much like a subdued Nicolas Cage performance, this doesn't happen very often.
Israelis in Western movies are invariably either spies, soldiers or seductresses. Take the Adam Sandler comedy "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" (2004), which did for hummus what "Ghost" did for the potter's wheel. The comedian played a Mossad agent-turned-hair stylist with his usual subtlety, but any film that turns a beachside game of matkot into an action-packed set-piece deserves respect.
There's espionage without the hummus or hair gel in Steven Spielberg's "Munich" (2005), in which Eric Bana's Mossad agent Avner is an angel of death pursuing Palestinian terrorists following the 1972 Olympic Games massacre. If the choice of a onetime Australian comedian seemed an odd choice to play the increasingly conflicted agent, it's just following precedent: A 1986 TV movie about the same events, "Sword of Gideon," saw fit to cast Cuba-born Steven Bauer ("Scarface") as Avner.
For those of us of a certain age, Griffin Dunne will forever be the star of "An American Werewolf in London." Yet he also played Israeli nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu in the 1990 British TV movie "Secret Weapon." Respect to the Mossad for keeping this film secret for so long, because I'd never heard of it until researching this article.
Of course, there's one real-life Israeli event that has been told several times on screen: The Israeli army's daring rescue mission to release the hostages at Entebbe in 1976. The latest retelling, "7 Days in Entebbe," is already out in the United States and is released in Israel on March 29.
Marsan may be the sore thumb in "7 Days," but the two English-language TV movie versions of the rescue mission, both rushed out in 1976, were even guiltier of weird casting choices.
"Raid on Entebbe" featured Peter Finch – fresh from playing the iconic Howard Beale in "Network" – in his final screen role as Rabin, Charles Bronson as Brig. Gen. Dan Shomron and James Woods as Capt. Sammy Berg. And the rival "Victory at Entebbe" was no better, giving us Burt Lancaster as Peres, Anthony Hopkins (!) as Rabin and – a year after starring in "Jaws" – Richard Dreyfuss as Yoni Netanyahu.
Ironically, perhaps the worst example of an Israeli character in a Hollywood movie can be found in "Date Night" (2010). Here, a pre-"Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot gets the thankless task of playing "the hot Israeli girlfriend" whose only characteristic is to lust after her shirtless boyfriend (Mark Wahlberg). The fact an Israeli model was cast in the role makes the stereotype even more painful.
Finally, Israeli director Eran Riklis has made a couple of English-language movies with American actors playing Israeli characters. In 2012's "Zaytoun," Stephen Dorff ("Blade") plays IDF fighter pilot Yoni, whose plane crashes in Beirut in 1982; he makes his escape thanks to a young Palestinian refugee who wants to see his ancestral home.
In 2011's "Playoff," meanwhile, Danny Huston plays Israeli basketball coach Max Stoller, who causes a stir in 1980s Israel when he opts to coach in Germany.
Like "Jungle," "Playoff" is inspired by a real-life character – Ralph Klein, a Holocaust survivor who shocked fellow Israelis when he went to coach the West German national side in the 1980s. Daniel Radcliffe will be pleased to learn that, of the two, his accent is the best.


France is to ban all drilling for oil and natural gas by 2040 after its Parliament approved part of President Emmanuel Macron's plans to cut the use of fossil fuels.
Do they have many oil and gas reserves in France? Maybe they'll simply hold on to it until everyone elses has run out.

SNP issues 100 'unanswered questions
May signals end of EU law in 'Great Repeal Bill'
Terry Murden, Editor | October 1, 2016
Theresa May is finally ready to fire the starting gun on Britain's exit from the European Union and will introduce a "Great Repeal Bill" in the Queen's Speech.
The bill will reverse the 1972 legislation that took Britain into what was then the European Community a year later and will erase the European Communities Act from British law.
The government will bring EU law under British law and as such it will signal an end to the over-riding authority of the EU.
Mrs May said Article 50 – the mechanism for exiting the EU – will be triggered before March. Her move to act will come as a relief to the Leave campaign and to the markets which have been demanding some clarity on the UK government's strategy on Europe.
But her comments have drawn criticism from those who say there is still no detail on what a Brexit Britain will look like.
The CBI director general, Carolyn Fairbairn, said: "The government's desire to play its negotiating cards close to its chest must be tempered by clear indications on how we will trade with the UK's most important partner and how firms will be able to employ the people needed to drive growth."
The SNP issued a list of 100 'unanswered' questions to the UK Government, including:
• Will the UK still be part of the single market?
• Will the UK remain a member of the European Union Customs Union?
• Will businesses be able to continue to trade with the EU without customs checks or other administrative costs?
• Does the UK Government still stand by the pre-referendum economic projection papers published by HM Treasury?
• Will UK citizens living in the EU be given the right to remain and retain their rights to access services there?
• Will police in the UK continue to have use of the European Arrest Warrant?
• What will the impact of changes to freedom of movement be on NHS staff recruitment and retention?
SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said: "We are now 100 days on from the EU referendum result, and the utter lack of clarity from the Prime Minister and the rest of the UK Government is a shameful abdication of responsibility.
"The Tories are in the process of walking the UK economy off a cliff with a vague promise that they'll find a parachute on the way down. It's not good enough.
"People in Scotland voted overwhelmingly against leaving the EU – but even Leave voters must be worried by Theresa May's inability to outline even the basics of what 'Brexit means Brexit' actually means."
Mrs May's comments come on the eve of her first Conservative annual conference in Birmingham, her first since taking over as party leader and Prime Minister.
The repeal bill will mark Britain's return to being a "sovereign and independent country", she says in an interview this weekend, a comment which drew an ironic comment from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon who said on Twitter: "Those pesky nationalists, eh? Obsessed with independence""
Mrs May has made it clear that she does not want the Brexit issue to dominate the conference and will want to focus on the agenda of building a fairer and more equal Britain which she spelled out on her promotion to Number 10.
"It will return power and authority to the elected institutions of our country. It means that the authority of EU law in Britain will end."
The bill will also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.
However, the party remains divided on between those who want a complete split from the EU and those demanding a "soft" Brexit that will negotiate a deal that maintains strong trading links with the 27-nation bloc.
While Mrs May will attempt to contain the Brexit issue, it is bound to be the major topic of conversation and there will be calls for more details on how it will work.
The "Brexit Secretary" David Davis will tell the conference on Sunday that employment rights "will not be eroded", removing one big concern among trades unions and those on the left.

Fall can be an excellent time to control many winter annuals like penny cress, shepherds purse, prickly lettuce, downy brome and marestail. Most years the window for applying herbicides in South Dakota is finished by early November. This year, however, climatologists are suggesting that we may not have a hard freeze in South Dakota for another couple of weeks. This weather will give winter annuals the opportunity to continue to germinate and grow. However this weather will also provide SD producers with an extended opportunity to control those difficult winter annuals.
Spring weather is often not favorable for herbicides applications. Cool, wet conditions can make timely herbicide applications a challenge, especially when targeting winter annuals that already have a jump on the season. Herbicide applications need to be made early to provide effective control on winter annuals.
Another benefit to fall herbicide applications is that most herbicides used to control downy brome in winter wheat have some fairly long crop rotation restrictions. When applied in the fall, the rotation restriction is much less of a concern for the crop after the winter wheat.
Fall herbicide applications also work better on marestail as it germinates in the fall. Research has shown that marestail is much easier to control in the fall when it is in the seedling stage than in the spring. Marestail can be resistant to glyphosate. Applications of 2, 4-D provide the most effective control in the fall.
Producers should be sure to carefully scout fields prior to any herbicide applications. When considering fall herbicide applications weeds should be healthy. Most herbicides work best when temperatures are in the upper 50's and 60's. A hard frost will limit the effectiveness of the herbicide on many weeds.

Q: Python coding error, My Window is not defined I am new to coding and have been going through the raspberry pi education manual. I have uploaded PySide for Python and tested it to make sure it is working properly.Picture of Code I entered from manual... When I run the program shown in the image I get a " NameError: name 'My Window' is not defined ". I am certain I have not made a typo and have posted this code verbatim (well I thought I did :( ... ). I apologize if this is similar to questions asked before; I did an advanced search on google and could not find any results for this specific issue and I am fixated on resolving this issue and move forward in the manual. Thanks, Mitchell B.
Here is the code pasted:
import sys
from PySide.QtGui import *

class MyWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow,self).__init__()

        self.setWindowTitle('Window Events')

        self.label = QLabel('Read me', self)

        button = QPushButton('Push Me', self)
        button.clicked.connect(self.buttonClicked)

        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
        layout.addWidget(button)
        layout.addWidget(self.label)

        self.setMouseTracking(True)

    def buttonClicked(self):
        """ Update the text when the button is clicked """
        self.label.setText("Clicked")

    def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
        """
        Update the text when the (tracked) mouse moves over MyWindow
        """
        self.label.setText(str(event.x()) + "," + str(event.y()))

    application = QApplication(sys.argv)

    widget = MyWindow()

    widget.show()

    application.exec_()

The full error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/Gettingartistic.py", line 5, in <module> class MyWindow(QWidget): File "/home/pi/Gettingartistic.py", line 44, in MyWindow widget = MyWindow() NameError: name 'MyWindow' is not defined

A: I believe your
application = QApplication(sys.argv)

widget = MyWindow()

widget.show()

application.exec_()

part should be deindented. It's currently part of the class definition, remember that in python, indents are important.
As of right now, since that part is part of the MyWindow() class definition, the class MyWindow would not have been created yet on the statement widget = MyWindow(), so it'd throw an exception.

Glory of God Campus World Wide Ministry on Monday donated medical equipment worth K70 million to Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) in Lilongwe.
The items donated included: 22 normal beds, two Theater beds K7million each, six theater gowns, two sets of Anesthetic breathing units, 100 surgical gloves, nine sets crouches, six adults resuscitation tubes, 50 Surgical Scissors (mosquito), 16 face masks and 500 Cannullas among others.
Receiving the donation on behalf of KCH, Minister of Health, Dr Jean Kalilani said Government and church are complementary partners as they both take care of the same people in different ways.
"What the church has done has complemented Government efforts of providing good health care to people in the country. This is beyond the spiritual role the church has," Kalirani explained.
She said human beings are not complete without spiritual care adding that some of the diseases are preventable as the church preaches on immorality and issues affecting the society in a negative way.
Dr Kalirani said the items donated would also help Government to save the resources that would have been used to buying the equipment.
She assured the church that the ministry would take care of items donated.
Glory of God Campus World Wide Ministry, Prophetess Barbara Davidse said as a church they know hospital needs since they have been visiting them.
"This is not the first time we are giving hospital equipment. Last year we donated some items to KCH, Mitundu and Salima hospitals. We also renovated Salima hospital," Davidse explained.
She said before the calling as Prophetess she used to donate hospital items through African Women Association. She emphasized that Good loves those who love others and are doing according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

A doctor was stabbed to death in his office by a Somali migrant and his assistant was seriously injured in Offenburg, Germany.
The deadly knife attack shocked the city's inhabitants. The anti-immigration party AfD will organize a demonstration outside the City Hall. After the murder of the doctor, Mayor Edith Schreiner (CDU) called for caution.
'My deepest condolences go to the widow and daughter of the deceased, her family and the injured medical assistant. I wish him a speedy recovery,' she said.
'That the crimes committed shock the inhabitants of Offenburg is understandable and human. But that is precisely why I appeal to citizens to act cautiously and refrain from any generalization, ' said Schreiner.
The alleged murderer, a 26-year-old Somali asylum seeker, arrived in Germany in early November 2015. Shortly after, he had access to accommodation in Offenburg.
The migrant was known to the police services for at least two incidents. On Saturday, the AfD plans a demonstration outside the Offenburg City Hall and calls for the resignation of the mayor.

Judge Slams Maryland Roadside Zoo Over Death of Tiger
July 10, 2019 BRAD KUTNER
animals, Endangered Species Act, Maryland, PETA, zoo
BALTIMORE (CN) – After a federal judge found a roadside zoo in Maryland violated the Endangered Species Act by not giving adequate care to a tiger that is now dead, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the ruling should send a clear message to other wildlife facilities that may be mistreating animals.
(Chris Neal/The Topeka Capital-Journal via AP)
PETA's case against Tri-State Zoological Park in Cumberland, which has animal care violations dating back to 2006, was years in the making.
Brittany Peet, the organization's director of captive animal law enforcement, said the zoo's history showed "chronic enforcement issues" that were so serious PETA needed to file suit.
"They have ignored the law and needs for animals for far too long," she said in a phone interview.
Peet also said in a statement that Monday's ruling should serve as a warning.
"This landmark ruling sends Tri-State and every other roadside zoo a clear message that failing to provide a protected species with adequate veterinary care violates federal law," she said.
In a 15-page opinion released Monday, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Baltimore found that Tri-State Zoological Park violated the Endangered Species Act when it failed to give proper veterinary attention to a female tiger, Cayenne, who then died in its care.
Another tiger owned by the zoo has since passed, as well as a lion and a lemur, according to PETA.
Judge Xinis slammed the roadside zoo for hiring inexperienced staff, including a recent veterinary graduate who "lacked any specialized experience or training in medical care for tigers."
The veterinarian's "primary source for learning about big cat feeding practices went no further than watching documentaries aired on Animal Planet," according to the ruling.
Attorney Nevin Young with the Annapolis-based Burlington & Young, who is representing the zoo and its owners, said in a statement that his clients respectfully disagree with the court's opinion.
"Prior to her death, Cayenne lived for approximately 11 completely healthy and happy years at Tri-State Zoo," Young said. "While the cause of death is uncertain, she was gravely ill and had symptoms affecting multiple organs… The tiger received appropriate veterinary care at all times."
Still, Peet and her group were happy to see the judge grant summary judgment, even if only on part of their complaint. She said it shows "how overwhelming the evidence was" in the death of Cayenne.
The rest of the allegations in the complaint, which target the zoo's alleged lack of proper social grouping and other concerns about animal care, are still in litigation.
Peet said PETA hopes to settle the rest of the case, but is willing to stay in court if needed and emphasized that action at the zoo can't come soon enough.
Monday's victory came the same day that Cayenne's brother, Kumar, also died.
"That's just one of the examples of animals who have died at this zoo since PETA undertook this case," Peet said.
Young confirmed Kumar's passing but said the cause of death has not yet been determined. The attorney said Kumar's father died at the age of 10 and "genetic factors" could be involved, and the zoo has sent the tiger's body for a necropsy.
Peet said the case is part of PETA's national effort to eliminate the use of animals as entertainment for humans, and mirrors similar Endangered Species Act claims against other roadside zoos in Indiana, Missouri and Florida.
But she clarified the group is understanding of animals already in captivity and hopes their legal work will see mistreated animals transferred to accredited facilities "that are capable of providing for them."
Oral arguments for the remainder of the claims in the Tri-State case are set for November.

Crepe paper, also known as Wrinkled paper, refers to a kind of processing paper with wrinkles on paper, which can be divided into three types: daily life, packaging, and decorative crepe paper. Crepe paper for daily use such as napkins, hygienic wrinkles, and paper with soft and good water absorption is used as the base paper. The crepe paper for packaging is tough and flexible, and is used for packaging flexible products such as wool and wool products to prevent the paper from being broken due to the large stretchability of the package, and it used hard wrapping paper as the base paper Decorative crepe paper, such as various colored tissue paper, for festive decoration and tying paper flowers, using tissue paper as the base paper. The base paper that is wet (or not completely dried) is usually scraped off with a spatula on the dryer, or mechanically pressed out of wrinkles and then dried.
The original "handcuff paper" refers to the paper with natural pleated texture by hand, such as the "South Korean handkerchief paper" that we commonly use. It is really a piece of paper made by hand, and the texture is hand-made. The texture of the paper, texture and color are very special, but the handkerchief paper that is often said now refers to a very common type of wrapping paper on the market, which is the kind of colored, fine-grained square paper commonly used in flower shops. It is the texture of the hand-pressed machine, because it is cheap and has many colors, so it is very suitable for packaging and origami. Some people use it to make paper flowers, but the effect is far less than paper rattan.
There are a lot of papers called crepe paper. For example, the kind of colored paper that we used to spend time on red safflower, the texture paper is a bit like toilet paper, also called crepe paper. Some people also call crepe paper and paper vines called crepe paper. Because they all have wrinkles.
Nowadays, the use of crepe paper is extensive, and when making various patterns, crepe paper has become one of the primary choices for art lovers.

Chronicles of Brandon at War #32
By: Darren NortonPosted on April 15, 2020
Last month two British soldiers were out in 'No Man's Land' with orders to log the enemy's activity. They had to get as close as possible to the enemy and even though the men hugged the lay of the land they were soon spotted, thus attracting intense enemy fire. Bullets and shrapnel ripped through the air and both men were badly wounded. The two should have withdrawn to safety and lived to fight another day. However they elected to press forward, facing almost certain death, before eventually completing their mission and reporting their findings to their superiors. Only afterwards did they seek medical attention.
Today back in Brandon, Eliza Docking, like all Brandon mothers, has experienced the lows of seeing a son go off to war. Her son Robert volunteered at the start, twenty months ago, and joined his older brother, who is a career soldier, in fighting the enemy. Of course both regularly write home and as long as they do so then Eliza knows they are relatively safe. Last month, Robert enclosed a communication inside one of his letters. It read,
"General Scott is glad to be able to inform you that you have been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for gallantry in the field, and he offers his hearty congratulations."
This was later confirmed on page twelve of the London Gazette. Then the local media got to hear this news and both the Bury Free Press and Thetford and Watton Times reported on Robert's heroism. This is one of the highest awards a soldier in the ranks can receive, only bettered by the Victoria Cross. Twenty-one year old Robert was one of those two brave soldiers injured while spying on the enemy last month.
So today Eliza is on a high, and those lows are behind her, but there is another reason for her elation because today Eliza knows her son is completely safe. She knows this because has been reunited with him. You see Robert, who was shot through the forearm while spying on the enemy, has been given seven days leave and is now back in the family home, at 97 Thetford Road. He has not returned alone and has been accompanied by two Brandon lads from his unit, Herbert Edwards and Edgar Randall. Herbert has headed along London Road to spend the week with his family at number 86. His parents lost their other son in the war last October, which was just after they lost a young daughter to illness, so I do not need to tell you what Herbert's return means to them. Harriet Randall, further up at number 201, lost her eldest son in Gallipoli last year, then suffered a breakdown, so we cannot even imagine how emotional she was at seeing her son Edgar walk through the door.
At the end of the week the lads will have to leave their family's sanctuary and return to the war. Those will be the toughest goodbyes. Eliza knows Robert will not always be out of harm's way, and no medal would ever replace her son if he were killed. What she does not know is that the information her son gathered will help plan an attack on the Somme, to take place in July. On that sunny July day, while she is working in a fur factory, her son and dozens of other Brandon lads like him, will be thrown onto German machine guns with devastating affect.

Did the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Completely Abolish Slavery?
Every American learns in school that the 13th Amendment to the Constitution ended slavery in the United States. But the history of involuntary servitude didn't end in 1865, when the amendment was ratified and adopted. People who have been convicted of a crime can still be legally forced to work because the 13th Amendment permits slavery or involuntary servitude "as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." And since the mid-1800s, U.S. states have done just that, compelling prison inmates to work in a variety of settings to help offset the costs of housing them. This has ranged from contracting inmates out as work crews to having prisoners work in on-site shops to produce marketable goods. For the most part, prison inmates are not paid well, if at all. Across the country, the average daily pay for an inmate is between $0.93 and $4.93 USD, although in some states they receive no monetary compensation at all. And under the rulings that have resulted from interpretations of the 13th Amendment, prisons are within their rights to punish inmates who refuse to work.
In 1871, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled in Ruffin v. Commonwealth that prisoners are "slaves of the State."
Prison-based compulsory labor in the United States generates at least $2 billion USD per year in goods and services.
The United States has the world's largest prison population, with nearly 2.3 million incarcerated people.

Lee House in Batesville, Mississippi was built in 1888.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

It was deemed significant as it is "the only Andrew Johnson residence in Batesville and is an excellent example of his ornamented L-shape cottage style."

It is a one-story ornamented cottage with a three-bay gallery with an intricate balustrade.  It has irregular massing and fenestration, and a steep roof which is emphasized by a projecting pavilion.  Paired and single brackets are used to support a cornice, and single brackets support the shallow eaves of the main roofline.

If data is the new oil, then Microsoft has just bought a big data enterprise rig in LinkedIn. Analysis: Microsoft needs to get integration right in order to unlock the potential of LinkedIn's big B2B data.
No-one has surely escaped the huge news that Microsoft is set to buy social networking site LinkedIn for a staggering $26.2bn. Technology and business commentators have been quick to highlight that the buyout is a strategic move by Microsoft to push further into the enterprise - and it's a smart move to make.
While Microsoft is a household name among consumers, its value is driven by B2B customers, as Ewan Parry, Partner at OC Strategy Consultants, explains: "In many markets, software distribution is now shifting from these reseller networks towards cloud solutions bought directly by end business users, a challenge Microsoft has been grappling with for some time. "This deal is yet another step on Microsoft's journey to bypass traditional resellers and build direct links to business end-users.".
The thinking behind the huge billion-dollar buyout is clear to see - but what is Microsoft actually buying for $26.2bn? They have bought the one thing that every business today is fervently chasing - data.
More precisely, the data of 433m users, of which 105m are active every month.
It is time to step up your B2B content marketing strategy!
While content marketing has turned into one of the most widely embraced B2B approaches in recent years, its effects can take a while to become evident.
