Ben Affleck to Return to the Role of Batman in The Flash
By Matthew Razak August 20, 2020
Yes, you read that headline correctly.
Ben Affleck is returning as Batman in the Ezra Miller-starring The Flash, bringing back the character he played in Batman v. Superman and Justice League. The Flash director Andy Muschietti announced the news through Vanity Fair and just days before the big DC FanDome Event where he will be participating in a panel for the film. Affleck reportedly received the script at the end of last week and agreed to return to the role after that.
"His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong, which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he's also very vulnerable," Muschietti said. "He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance."
If you thought that Micahel Keaton returning to the role of Batman for The Flash was big news this blows it out of the water. Affleck was set to star and direct The Batman but eventually backed out of the role due to personal issues, saying eventually that if he took it he would have probably drunk himself to death. He has since found himself in a better place and evidently can now have fun with the role according to The Flash's producer Barbara Muschietti.
The Flash will be yet another retelling of the comic book story Flashpoint in which Barry Allen travels back in time to save his mother causing a different future to be created. The movie will fully establish a multiverse that connects all of DC's films and shows, something briefly established by a Miller cameo in the TV show The Flash. That multiverse will not only feature Affleck and Keaton but, the Vanity Fair article insinuates, other possible past Batman(men?) as well.
"This movie is a bit of a hinge in the sense that it presents a story that implies a unified universe where all the cinematic iterations that we've seen before are valid," Muschietti said. "It's inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you've seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse."
Muschietti also notes that Batfleck's return is for practical reasons. Ezra Miller's Flash only knows him as Batman so to establish other Batmen he must be the baseline. That makes sense, especially since it is evidently Keaton who will play a major role in the film. It also helps DC continue the DCEU's continuity while launching a multiverse so that audiences don't get too lost by the experience of having multiple Batmen thanks to Robert Pattinson playing the role in the upcoming The Batman.
After backing away from building up the DCEU thanks to the mess that was Justice League, WB seems to be stepping back in aggressively. The studio has also reportedly agreed to bring Henry Cavill back as Superman after his future as the character was said to be up in the air, though what films he'll show up in is unknown.
Affleck's Batman received mixed reviews from fans so some may be incredibly excited about this news while others are disappointed. Whatever your reaction this is some very surprising bat-news.

Not sure what I make of Prince Charles' version of "To be…", but it certainly goes under the heading of "Shakespeare Stuff" and I'd never seen it before. Apparently he was attempting to make a point about how flat and boring modern cliches are. Honestly, though, isn't all speech flat and boring when compared to Shakespeare? Especially when you compare it against the most famous thing he ever wrote?
O, he is as tedious as a tired horse, a railing wife, worse than a smoky house.

Q: Use Dockerfile commands inside of a shell script? Suppose that I have an entry-point to a shell script as I want to use some conditionals in a dockerfile. Is there a way to do something like this?
ENTRYPOINT ["./entry.sh", "lambda-name"]
Inside of entry.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

lambda_name=$1

echo "$lambda_name"

if [ "$lambda_name" = "a.handler" ]; then
    CMD [ "a.handler" ]
elif [ "$lambda_name" = "b.handler" ];then
    CMD [ "b.handler" ]
else
    echo "not found"
fi

A: first of all you don't need that complication.
why not like this?
#!/usr/bin/env bash

lambda_name=$1

echo "$lambda_name"

if [ "$lambda_name" = "a.handler" ]; then
    ./a.handler
elif [ "$lambda_name" = "b.handler" ];then
    ./b.handler
else
    echo "not found"
fi

also in your script you could use something like
exec "$@"

at the end of your script. this would run all your arguments.

A: The ENTRYPOINT is the main container process.  It executes when you docker run the built image; it's too late to run any other Dockerfile directives at that point.
In particular, the ENTRYPOINT gets passed the image's CMD (or a Compose command: or an alternate command after the docker run image-name) as arguments, and it can do whatever it wants with that.  So at this point you don't really need to "set the container's command", you can just execute whatever command it is you might have wanted to run.
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
  a.handler) a.handler ;;
  b.handler) b.handler ;;
  *)
    echo "$1 not found" >&2
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

With this setup, a fairly common Docker pattern is just to take whatever gets passed as arguments and to run that at the end of the entrypoint script.
#!/bin/sh

# ... do any startup-time setup required here ...

exec "$@"

That matches what you show in the question: if the first argument is a.handler then run that command, and so on.

Sir Alex Looking Forward To Draw
Posts by red_devils4life
http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=610625
Sir Alex Ferguson insists that he is not the least bit apprehensive about who Manchester United's opponents will be for the next knockout stage of the Champions League.
United booked a ticked for quarter-finals of the competition with a professional performance against Lyon last night, and now all they will have to do is sit back and enjoy the football tonight, which will reveal the array of possible opponents.
Ferguson reckons that the chances are high that they will be paired against an English opponent, but he is undaunted by the proposition of coming against familiar foes.
"I expect Chelsea to get through and if Liverpool do too it's a 40 per cent chance of getting an English team," he commented.
"I don't think it matters who you play - they are all difficult games.
"That's why the quarter-finals throw up good teams and the important thing is to be there ourselves."

This quote from an online National Law Journal article (see https://www.law.com/nationallawjournal/2018/09/11/feds-should-be-banging-the-drum-the-loudest-for-cannabis-industry-banking/?slreturn=20180812164053) and others like it, have been used by both (all?) sides of the marijuana argument currently embroiling America.
If there are answers to those questions, we need to first go back almost 10 years to the first DOJ memo on marijuana. But an interim stop is warranted, to March 2017 with President Trump's Executive Order 13777 calling for federal agencies to establish Regulatory Reform Task Forces to identify regulations for potential repeal, replacement, or modification. At that time the President, and (fairly) some others felt that American society was over-regulated. It was time to take a look at all the regulations, and repeal, replace, or modify. In response, the Department of Justice formed its task force and began its work identifying regulations, rules, and anything that looked like and acted like a regulation or rule.
Today, in an action to further uphold the rule of law in the executive branch, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memo prohibiting the Department of Justice from issuing guidance documents that have the effect of adopting new regulatory requirements or amending the law. The memo prevents the Department of Justice from evading required rulemaking processes by using guidance memos to create de facto regulations.
The Attorney General's Regulatory Reform Task Force, led by Associate Attorney General Brand, will conduct a review of existing Department documents and will recommend candidates for repeal or modification in the light of this memo's principles.
On December 21, 2017 the Attorney General announced that "pursuant to Executive Order 13777 and his November memorandum prohibiting certain guidance documents, he is rescinding 25 such documents that were unnecessary, inconsistent with existing law, or otherwise improper." None of the "marijuana memos" were on the list of twenty-five.
Cole III – February 14, 2014: "Memorandum for All United States Attorneys: Guidance Regarding Marijuana Related Financial Crimes". The title of this memo is important: unlike Cole II, Cole III brought in marijuana related financial crimes, the obligations of financial institutions, and the specter of those institutions violating federal law by knowingly providing services to marijuana-related businesses. In fact, Cole III noted that the Cole II guidance "did not specifically address what, if any, impact it would have on certain financial crimes for which marijuana-related conduct is a predicate." Cole III addressed those impacts.
Cole III needs to be read with the FinCEN Guidance issued the same (Valentine's) day. I won't repeat the FinCEN Guidance here (you can find it here https://www.fincen.gov/resources/statutes-regulations/guidance/bsa-expectations-regarding-marijuana-related-businesses) but its authors intended that it "clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their BSA obligations." [Note that most financial institutions have interpreted that to mean they cannot provide services to marijuana-related businesses and meet their BSA obligations]. The FinCEN Guidance heavily relied on and quoted the Cole II eight priorities, and set out requirements for risk assessments, customer due diligence (seven distinct requirements), a requirement that "financial institutions should consider whether a marijuana-related business implicates a Cole priority or violates state law, twenty-five "red flags" for monitoring and surveillance of marijuana-related businesses, and how to (and shall) file Suspicious Activity Reports on everymarijuana-related business customer, regardless of whether their activity is suspicious or not. Again, the vast majority of financial institutions have chosen not to knowingly bank marijuana-related businesses.
And he directed that enforcement at banks, credit unions, and money remitters, among others. His memo began with a statement about the "significant penalties" for the "serious crimes" of cultivating, distributing, and possessing the "dangerous drug" marijuana in violation of the Controlled Substances Act. He then stated that these activities "also may serve as the basis for the prosecution of other crimes", and he listed three such crimes: (1) those prohibited by the money laundering statutes under Title 18, sections 1956 and 1957; (2) the unlicensed money transmitter statute under Title 18, section 1960; and (3) the Bank Secrecy Act under Title 31, section 5318.
That challenge must be taken up by FinCEN and the banking regulators. Unless and until the financial services industry gets clear, unequivocal, consistent, written laws, regulations, and guidance from Congress, Treasury, and Justice to provide banking services to marijuana-related businesses, it will and should do what it is currently doing – balancing the undue risks against the insufficient rewards – and continue to stand on the sidelines while our communities, veterans, patients, doctors, caregivers, and others suffer. Congressional and Executive Branch compassionwithout the necessary collaboration and courage to act will not resolve this crisis.
FinCEN data suggests that ~400 of the ~12,000, or about 3% of, US credit unions and banks are knowingly providing financial services to marijuana-related businesses.

The Daily American
The National Institutes of Health has taken a huge step forward toward ending experimentation on animals.
The NIH announced that it will retire 110 of its 563 research chimpanzees. Francis S. Collins, the institutes' director, told the Washington Post that this is based on the way science has evolved and our great sensitivity to the special nature of these remarkable animals.
In 2011 the NIH's Institute of Medicine declared that most biomedical research use of chimpanzees, which have close genetic proximity to humans, was unnecessary. On Jan. 22 the institute's Council of Councils working group recommended that all but 50 of the chimps funded by the federal government be retired and sent to an animal sanctuary. The remaining 50 would be kept for possible research only if experiments on them were the sole way to study a human health threat.
The recommendations really should have gone further. There is no reason for the NIH, or any other agency, to do research on chimpanzees. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is cosponsor of legislation that would ban invasive research on the approximately 1,000 chimpanzees currently housed in U.S. laboratories, unless it is deemed necessary for human health in combating a disease. She told NBC news that all invasive research on great apes would be phased out over three years after enactment of the legislation.
Famed primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall told NBC news that the NIH decision is an important first step. But the bill banning research on all great apes must be passed. There are other ways of gaining the necessary knowledge instead of animal experimentation.

Go tell your friends, you play COD. Happy. I give more than a 2080ti worth and 20 AAA games in seminars/webinars and books/subscriptions to further educate myself. Each to his own I guess. Real Life vs No Game No Life.
Back to the topic now, it seems better than BF:V or it is my idea only? Anyone playing both atm?
I hope for a fix for soundblaster cause bitrate to 48khz don't work. For now i use onbord but need dolby digital live.

Agreed, Warfighter is one of my favourite FPS games. I've done the campaign more times than I can remember.
It gets a lot of undeserved hate

where u use the holo markers to move your team sort of mass effect squad mgmt like? vaguely recall drone missions think i played it.

Been playing this game over the weekend, and it's safe to say, Call of Duty is back; the Call of Duty I remember during the MW and MW2 days.
I have been playing with friends who I couldn't play with in the past due to the lack of crossplay, and it's quite glorious; seeing people from Xbox, PS, and PC, all in the same lobby. TECHNOLOGY!
They have put a lot of thought in to each map, a lot of flanking and routes to take, so it's hard to get cornered.
The guns are simply amazing! They finally got them right. The sound just adds more to the awesomeness! It's very accurate and satisfying.
I hope the next Battlefield takes notes on the feel of the guns from this game because they have truly outdone themselves this time.
If you are on the fence about this game, I will say go for it. I think there is something for everyone here. Enjoy!
shoja said: ↑
Yeah, no...
That's your opinion, and you can stick to it. I will stick to mine. Carry on now.
The game was so good and sold so well that it didn't sell nowhere near as well as expected, has an 55 on metacritic along with a 5.4 user review score "based on 645 Ratings", EA shut down the studio developing the series, put the series on hold, and it's been on hold for the last 6-7 years until they announced a shitty VR game this year.
Also, warfighter is literally the definition of what it means to be a generic scripted linear modern military FPS on a lower budget then CoD when it was released.
Besides somehow having the most generic gameplay then the genre defining CoD the game had horrible cheap set pieces and scripted sections and there needs to industry blacklist for whoever wrote the stories for Battlefield and and MoH 2010-12.
The game is crap and you're saying it's good. There's a lot of wrong here. The 55 on metacritic alone... jesus and that's really bad for a AAA title.
You say this game has something for everyone - as a part of everyone, i say no.
So we can't have fun because metacritic said so?

Opinions. Subjectivity. Everyone is entitled to voice their own opinion. I watched Terminator Dark Fate over the weekend (in IMAX, no less). My friend liked it too, I liked it. There are a lot of people who don't like it. Fair enough.

There will always be haters, no matter what. I am capable of enjoying multiple games without having to hate on one or the other. You do you buddy

THE RATS ARE RUNNING IN EVERY DIRECTION. WHAT IS GOING ON?
(posted by Frenchie)
Following the belated, but well deserved fall from grace of Cardinal Mc Carrick, Emeritus Archbishop of Washington DC and hypocrite extraordinaire, we have seen all the rats starting running in every which way possible. We have noted particularly the attempts by Cdl O'Malley to capitalize on the mess, to push an image of champion of the victims and voice for justice for them. Both of which he is not.
Yesterday, McCarrick replacement in DC, Cdl Wuerl was the target of coordinated attacks, both in the Catholic and the secular media. This falls on the heels of revelations about sexual abuses by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, which have been very damaging for the American Church hierarchy.
The O'Malley actions are very interesting, in the sense that as Gennarini goes, so does Cdl O'money.
Since O'Malley is one of the most pre-eminent member of Pope Francis's pontifical commission for the protection of minors; and has made his reputation as a sexual abuse trouble shooters, from early on in his career, it is well worth watching what he is doing to take advantage of the developing scandal.
When we realized here on Guam the depth of the sexual scandal we uncovered after the 1st complaints against Apuron were brought forth by the courageous four, following the earth shattering visit by John the typhoon Toves six months earlier; one thing which was painfully obvious,was the sham Apuron, Cristobal and Quitagua had put in place with their cosmetic sexual abuse policy.
One could have thought that after the Cepeda cases, and what they knew about other complaints prior to this, that they would have at least covered their substantial rears, with better administrative gimmicks.
That was without counting on the huge egos of both Apuron and Cristobal, added to the necessity for Pius and Gennarini to keep their operations under the radar, and things under wrap, perhaps prepare for the eventuality of being able to spin their story to give what is called "plausible deniability".
Of course both Apuron and Cristobal knew, that once the gates of the Dam were opened wide enough, the flow of revelations would become unstoppable. This is the reason they tried to browbeat the courageous four, and threatened Tim with a lawsuit. Those were the actions of desperate men, who knew their checkered past, was finally catching up to them.
When Archbishop Byrnes finally arrived to clear up the mess, he implemented the USCCB sexual abuse policy, which in itself was a huge improvement for Guam.
Upon reviewing said guidelines, one thing which came to light was that the said rules had been written specifically to discipline priests and other religious personnel who might have strayed, but it conveniently did not address how to deal with Bishops and brought no solutions whatsoever to the issue where and when Bishops were involved in misdeed themselves.
In hindsight, one can easily understand why, when you realize that Mc Carrick himself was the one that drove that agenda, drafted the resolution and had it passed. This was a great communication piece, in the sense that it seemed to address the evils perpetuated while actually providing cover for the bishops. (and therefore Mc Carrick himself)
This is most likely why the Vatican chose to investigate the Apuron growing scandal the way it did.
This was a premiere, and a novel situation. It gave us a confusing ruling at best which avoided to give clear answer, despite the damning findings by the tribunal. We showed how the kikos worked really hard in the shadows to mitigate the results as much as they could.
In a way the Guam case, which is still developing, became a litmus case for the people who are defending the rights of the victims (survivors) but also for the people who have knowingly kept a lead on this issue for decades.
This includes many Bishops, but also organizations like the NCW, which has for years had murky and deliberate attitude towards abusers (most often than not, using them to their advantage)
Cardinal Mc Carrick being a perfect manifestation of such ambiguous and incestuous relations with the kikos.
Mc Carrick in particular was very instrumental in the development of RMS in the USA, but also was
very collaborative with the NCW narrative, as well as in their network of influence both in the USA and inside the Vatican.
He even originally retired at the Maryland RMS outside of DC where they actually constructed a suite from scratch to take care of his needs.
Here comes Cdl Sean, like he prefers to be called.
I mentioned earlier that O'Malley is the head of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. He was appointed as such by Pope Francis, who was eager to get recommendation on how to handle sexual abuse issues, in particular the thorny issue of coverup by Bishops.
After a slow start in 2015, there were several recommendations, which were not followed up by concrete actions. The Commission which originally was granted an "Ad experimentem" 3 years status, was renewed in 2018, despite the theatrical resignation of its only victim on the board, and a very mediatic butting of horns between O'Malley and Francis regarding the handling of the Chilean scandal.
During that same period, we should note that our "knight in shining armor" gave access to some of his best collaborators to defend Apuron in his own trial.
If one thing is certain, it is that O'Malley was part of that wave of American prelates who advocated an agenda of "social justice", with Mc Carrick, Chaput, Wuerl and others. Yet at the same time, he and Chaput have posed as beacons of conservatism for the gallery.
Chaput and Mc Carrick like O'Malley are in very close connection with the NCW, through Gennarini and directly with Kiko. Perhaps, this explain that.
So why so much activiy on O'Malley's part, grand standing in the US press, demanding for clarity, advising on the seminary scandal in Boston, and suddenly not participating in the Papal visit to Ireland, despite being the Cardinal Archbishop of the largest Irish Catholic community in the USA and being the Official "visitor" to the Archdiocese of Dublin in 2010, as well as the Dioceses of Ferns, Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin?
Perhaps the former Papabile to succeed Benedict, has a score to settle with Francis......
More to come this week....

Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution
Posted by Jo Harper on June 8, 2019
River Ecology
Water pollution is caused when substances accumulate in water sources to an extent in which they become harmful to human beings and animals. A law on the Prevention of pollution was enacted in 1970(Japan) response to the rising rates of water pollution.
The law was enacted to: Prevent pollution on waters such as lakes so as to conserve the environment by controlling effluents discharged from factories and protecting the victims of the hazards brought by such discharges by being compensated by the firm responsible and also a punishment to the firms responsible.
Areas to be controlled
Public water areas such as lakes, rivers, and ponds used for public purposes.
Effluent standards are set in terms of permissible concentrations of each toxic substance in order to protect the environment and human health. Effluent standards are of two types; common national standards and the more strict effluent standards. These standards are set by the Prime Minister's office order. Features of the Law on the Prevention of water pollution
When I worked on my dissertation I got a law dissertation help which is of the essence to factories and eve household as it enlightens them on ways to prevent and control water pollution by giving them alternatives and also the resources to be able to control water pollution.
The law has been divided into chapters as will be shown below
Chapter 1: The law was enacted for the purpose of preventing and controlling water pollution, protecting and improving the environment and safeguarding human health. This, however, is not applicable to the prevention and control of marine pollution. The relevant departments under the government must also incorporate the protection of the water environment into their plans and adopt ways to prevent such pollution.
Chapter 2: Regulation of discharge of effluent by checking the number of toxic substances in the effluents and also the manner in which it is discharged. This chapter also explains the promotion of measures of domestic wastewater by imparting knowledge on the citizens and also a provision of necessary facilities to reduce the pollution in these areas.
Chapter 3: Monitoring of the conditions of water pollution. This will be done by government bodies such as the chiefs. The conditions of water pollution shall be continuously monitored and the results shall be reported to the Office of the Minister of Environment.
Chapter 4: Compensation for damages. This indicates that in cases where human life or health is damaged as a result of the harmful substances in the discharge of a certain factory, the involved enterprise is liable for compensating those affected from the damage. This will however not apply for cases in which the affected was in charge of the work.
Chapter 5: Penal provisions. Any person who violates the orders issued under the act shall be liable to penal servitude or a fine in accordance with the weight of the crime committed.
History of the Clean Water Act
The Clean Water Act is majorly the main regulation that concerns water pollution in the United States of America. Its purpose is to help keep the nation's water bodies in pristine condition, physically, chemically, and biologically.
The United States began its drive to protect its water bodies in 1899 when the Rivers and Harbors Act was passed.
But it was in 1948 that the Federal Water Pollution Control Act became the first major law in the USA to make water pollution a legal issue.
In the early 1970s, however, approximately two-thirds of the United States' water was dangerous to swim in or fish from. Sewage was being dumped indiscreetly and without any treatment into water bodies.
The law was amended in 1972, amidst increasing consciousness of water pollution amongst the populace and the need to reduce its impact.
1972 amended that dubbed it the CWA:
• Set the primary structure to monitor the release of impurities into the United States' water bodies.
• Allowed the EPA to create programs to reduce pollution like setting the limits for industrial wastewater.
• Kept the requirements that previously set the standard for water quality and contaminants in surface water bodies.
• Made it clear that releasing of any pollutant or impurity into navigable water bodies from a point source without a permit illegal.
• Used the construction grants program to support the building of sewage treatment plants.
Amendments in the 1980s
In 1981, some of the CWA's previous legal clauses were changed by amendments. These amendments allowed for the process of granting municipal construction grants to be simplified, which helped with the sewage treatment plants that were constructed under this program.
In 1987, the grants for construction program was replaced with the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. This new program used collaborations between the states and the EPA to take care of water quality needs.
Other laws
As time went on, other laws that were passed affected parts of the CWA. For example, the Great Lakes Critical Programs Act of 1990, Title I, formed some part of the USA-Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978.
This law was an agreement between the two nations to reduce the pollution of the Great Lakes and had the EPA set the requirements for water quality of the Great Lakes and implement these requirements on a rigid schedule.
In recent years, defining "waters of the United States," the key name protected by the Clean Water Act, has faced some challenge and debate.
A majority of federal courts and government agencies, from the 70s to the 90s, were very broad in the scope of their interpretation of the Clean Water Act's jurisdiction.
However, the Supreme Court ruled in the early 2000s that the broad interpretation was too much and that the scope needed a more focused interpretation.
In 2015, a rule on the more focused interpretation was released by the EPA. However, not all parties accepted it.
As at now, all government agencies continue to perform their duties the way they did before the release of the 2015 Rule until February 20, 2020, the date the rule will be applied. Hence the agencies will have more time to properly reassess the definition of "waters of the United States."
The Clean Water Bill was a major victory in the fight against pollution. It is just one of many steps we need to take to keep our environment clean and healthy.
The Ecological Problems of Rivers
At present, many rivers are facing problems due to high pollution. Reasons that contribute to river pollution vary from one factor to another. According to environment protection act, many countries are taking various actions to protect rivers from different types of pollution. Protection of rivers is done according to the cause of the problem.
Pollution from industries is the main cause of dirt accumulation in river streams. Waste materials from various industries can act as a cause for the destruction of the biological system in the river. Dying of fishes in lakes and river is a fine example of this kind of river pollution. Deposition of chemical aerosol spray bottles into lakes can act as a cause of serious health hazards.
Apart from river pollution, aerosol bottles containing CFC can also become a cause of ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Use of pesticides
Pesticide from farmland is a main factor that causes pollution in the river and other waterways. Insecticides containing hazardous chemicals and pesticides driven from farmlands to waterways can create pollution in river beds. Apart from the agricultural field, gasoline pumps near waterways can also act as a cause of pollution in river beds.
Hence it is suggested to reduce the number of petrol pumps near the riverside and other ways. Similar to petrol pumps, construction of large flats near waterways can also create ecology problems of river. So as to avoid pollution, it is advised to build waste water tanks at a concerned distance away from Riverside and other waterways.
Pollution from animal waste
Pollution due to waste products from animals is another source that creates river pollution. For example, bacteria from cow dung can enter into waterways via farmland. This condition can build up the growth of bacteria in waterways and rivers nearby it. At times, pollution can also happen due to the build-up of bacteria due to erosion, cyclone, and flood.
Pollutants from wasteland can enter to the freshwater lakes and rivers due to the occurrence of flood and cyclone. This condition can also lead the way to the growth of bacteria in the river and waterways.
Nuclear waste is another source that creates troubles in the ecology of rivers. At present, many people are concerned about the disadvantages of building a nuclear power plant in their locality.
Radioactive materials from a nuclear power plant can create environmental pollution in nearby areas. Hence the construction of nuclear power plants is done with a high-security level that can't affect the living of people in nearby areas.
Household waste is another main cause that can affect the riverbeds and waterways. In order to prevent this condition, people are given proper guidance for the protection of ponds, rivers, and lakes. Pollution from acid rain and the melting of an iceberg can also come as a source of river pollution in countries. This condition generally happens due to change in climatic condition.
Rivers are the source of life for a wide range of species including fishes that consumed by man. Hence it is the duty of people to preserve the ecology of rivers. Usage of pollutants that affect the normal life of species in rivers needs to be reduced so as to prevent it from dying. This factor will also help people to maintain the biological life cycle of species on earth.

Since August 2010 Bairfind has featured 3589 children, with 2703 recovered. Please note that due to the nature of the calls received through our call center regarding our posters, it is sometimes difficult to determine exactly where the person may have seen the poster; however, we feel that the more exposure our posters receive the more likely it is that someone will recognize a child and lead to a recovery. We appreciate your continued support. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

As a minor-league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, I spent most of my career tuning out the crowd so I could attack each batter with a laser-like focus.
But after watching a documentary about a mother's and father's effort to spread the word about their missing daughter, my view from the mound changed. I realized the stadium wasn't just filled with sports fans--these were the teachers, coaches, families, classmates and friends of missing children that would readily join in the search if they could. That moment inspired me to start The BairFind Foundation.
Since that day, we've partnered with Minor League Baseball to place photos of hundreds of our nation's missing kids in front of literally tens of millions of Americans in stadiums and arenas across the country at no cost to the families. Every glance at one of these photos is another opportunity for a child to be reunited with his or her family. Our success is measured by the countless stories of children that we've featured who have been safely located, and we've only just begun.
It always seems impossible until it's done

my fiancé put this product in my Christmas stocking a few years ago, and now it's a part of my weekly routine, I'm not much of a product junkie but after a long day at work I'll have her rub some on my aching muscles and I feel like a new man.. it's not greasy and the smell isn't overpowering, just relaxing and soothing.
As a Pilates teacher I use the muscle soother on many of my clients on practically a daily basis before their sessions. As they do their work-out the soother helps ease the tension in the muscles and tendons that we're trying to release and elongate in order for the core muscles to be able to engage.
It always surprises them because, unlike BioFreeze , Icy Hot, Tiger Balm; products with capsaisin that simply make the surface of the body hot and cold, muscle soother works on such an internal penetrating level that is almost imperceptible. My clients swear it's magic!
close. I'm on my way to order a couple of gallons now. O yes…my husband loves it too! Please never change this product!
This is a very real review!

Science Finally Explains Why Jerks Like Barney Stinson Make Girls Swoon
Attracted to a narcissistic player? You're not the only one.
Carl Williott 04/09/2015
Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) was Manhattan's smoothest and most legend -- wait for it! -- ary player on "How I Met Your Mother." He always had a girl on his arm despite his d-bag plays, and now science can explain why.
According to a new British study that examined female attraction to narcissistic males, the long-standing social belief that women love bad boys and a-holes has some truth to it.
Hartbury College researchers Carrie Haslam and V. Tamara Montrose wanted to figure out exactly why women pursue the Barney Stinsons of the world when, as they wrote in their paper, "Narcissistic males do not make good romantic partners." So why do some women find them attractive?
The team examined heterosexual British females between the ages of 18 to 28 for their study, which will be published in the August issue of Personality and Individual Differences. Participants were surveyed about their ideal partner's traits as well as their attitudes towards marriage and commitment.
Interestingly, women with a higher number of romantic partners were significantly more attracted to narcissistic males compared to those with a lower number. This means their increased attraction can't be chalked up to rookie mistakes or the excitement of first love. The research indicates that women with greater "mating experience" find jerks more desirable and continue to find them more desirable, even after the relationship goes sour.
A surprising conundrum also emerged from the findings. Women who expressed an interest in marriage were more attracted to narcissistic males than women who were not interested in marriage. The authors say this is problematic because "the narcissistic male is primarily short-term mating goal oriented." This means the jerk is great during the first few stages of a relationship and effectively hides the fact that he's terrible boyfriend material.
The researchers concluded women are drawn in by jerks because "the narcissistic personality, whilst having many negative qualities, possesses qualities associated with status and resource provision" -- aka stuff like confidence and the ability to display authority. There's that pesky evolution butting into our dating lives again.
Oh, and if a woman is ovulating, the effect might even be enhanced. A 2012 study revealed hormones released during ovulation almost have a beer goggle effect when it comes to evaluating a mate's potential skills as a father.
The solution, it seems, is for all of us to be jerks to each other all the time. Luckily, that's a lot easier now with Tinder.


This easy Mexican fiesta dip recipe doubles as a condiment or even a side salad. Use it atop tacos instead of cheese for a delicious dairy-free punch or over brown rice and your favorite protein (fish, chicken or tofu would be great) for a quick and easy "rice bowl" lunch.
This Mexican fiesta dip recipe and accompanying photo were shared with us by Cans Get You Cooking, a website that offers recipe ideas for cooking with canned food (note that not all of their recipes are dairy-free).
Since it is summertime, you can certainly prepare this perfectly spicy Mexican fiesta dip with fresh vegetables, but the canned option makes it a year-round dish and an easy recipe to make with kids. Feel free to adjust the Tabasco up or down to your family's favorite heat, or if your like me, skip the Tabasco but serve with your favorite hot sauce (we love Chalula in our house!).
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan, vegetarian, and generally food allergy-friendly!
Note that the prep time does not include the patience needed to let this great make-ahead dip or condiment chill!
In a large bowl, stir together the black beans, diced tomatoes with liquid, corn, chili peppers, oil, vinegar, salt and Tabasco. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
To serve, thoroughly stir in the avocado and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
I've made a version of this for years.
My secret is mango! The contrast is wonderful. Try red onion for color, lime juice instead of vinegar, and use spinach tortillas for a roll-up.
Brilliant suggestions! Thanks for sharing Kathleen.
Of course, your recipe was the perfect accompaniment!


Sideshock was Mars' top military genius. When A.F.M. High Command gave him the job to conquer Earth, Sideshock reveled in joy at the opportunity. Unfortunatly for him, he was given a bumbling scientist named Mask as his second in command.
With an army of A.F.M. alien guards and a genius scientist/weapon inventor on his side, the Earth would be an easy conquest. It turned out, however, that it wasn't. Two superheroes name Lex Morgan and Rex Davidson stopped the A.F.M. invasion with a combination of dumb luck and the ineptitude of Sideshock and his team.
Sideshock was in awe at the great weapons Mask created. But soon that awe turned to frustration. Although the weapons did work they often backfired on Sideshock and Mask.
Enhanced intelligence: Sideshock's mind for planning an assault on Earth is genius high level. What he lacked in combat and brute force he gained in wisdom and strategy. His plans of attack are so impressive that even A.F.M. High Command took notice and promoted him to lead the A.F.M. invasion of Earth.
Weaknesses: What Sideshock has in his genius mind of attack is often followed up by defeat. He plans a good show, but following through with said show is another matter. Often defeated by his own means of Mask's malfunctioning weapons or his lack of physic combat techniques (he has been punched out by both John and Cammi). Lex and Rex continue to be a thorn in the A.F.M. side.
Paraphernalia: Sideshock wears a strange looking helmet that has strands of hair sticking out from the top and sides and shows his true facial emotions One can almost say, his helmet is his face. Adorned in golden torso armor and a red cape, Sideshock shows why he is elite in the A.F.M. attempt to conquer Earth. If only his elite plans work out..

Q: Simple field extension where primitive element is algebraic I know that when $E$ is a field extension of field $F,$ $t \in E$\ $F,$ $t$ algebraic over $F,$ than the smallest field, containing $F \cup t$ is the same as set of polynomials, with coefficients in $F$ and a variable $t.$
Do you know how to prove it? Or maybe you've seen a proof of that statement?

A: Hint: If $E$ is an extension of $F$ and $t\in E$, then the ring extension $F[t]$ is also a field extension.

Q: django jquery comment form posting too many times I have modified my comments/form.html and comments/posted.html to work in a similar way to facebook, ie you post a comment, the data posted is then reloaded and appended to a certain div with a given ID.
The problem I have is that it seems to post all the data for the amount of forms.
So the scenario is, I have 5 forms, one with data in it, if I then hit comment, it submits the data, 1 successful but 4 return empty.

    <form action="{% comment_form_target %}" method="post" class="comment-form">
    {% if next %}<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />{% endif %}
    {% for field in form %}
        {% if field.is_hidden %}
            {{ field }}
        {% else %}
        {% if field.errors %}{{ field.errors }}{% endif %}

        {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    <textarea id="id_comment" rows="1" cols="60" name="comment" class='id_comment'></textarea>

        <input type="submit" name="post" class="submit-post blue comment_submit" value="{% trans "Comment" %}" id="button" style="float:right;margin-top:-6px;margin-bottom:4px;"/>

    </form>

And then my jQuery looks as follows

HTML OUTPUT the difference between the forms obviously the ID for each one

    <form action="/comments/post/" method="post" class="comment-form" id="114">
        <input type="hidden" name="content_type" value="wall.post" id="id_content_type114">
        <input type="hidden" name="object_pk" value="114" id="id_object_pk">
        <input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="1291370494" id="id_timestamp114">
        <input type="hidden" name="security_hash" value="2d208d05d725528dfef940d8a5b520362faa3317" id="id_security_hash114">
        <textarea id="id_comment114" rows="1" cols="60" name="comment" class="id_comment" style="height: 24px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "></textarea>

            <input type="submit" name="post" class="submit-post blue comment_submit" value="Comment" id="114" style="float:right;margin-top:-6px;margin-bottom:4px;">

    </form>

A: You are binding the click function too many times. You only should call .live("click", function() {}); Once per page load. Or else you should use die() to unbind the functions before calling live() again.
I still think this is the answer. Change the click .live call to be:
$(".comment_submit").die("click").live("click",function() {
    var ID = $(this).attr('id');

    var content_type = $('#id_content_type'+ID).val();
    var timestamp = $('#id_timestamp'+ID).val();
    var security_hash = $('#id_security_hash'+ID).val();
    var comment = $('#id_comment'+ID).val();
    var dataString = 'content_type='+ content_type +'&timestamp='+ timestamp +'&security_hash=' + security_hash + '&comment=' + comment + '&object_pk=' + ID;

    if (comment=='') {
        alert('Please enter a comment');
    } else {
        $('#id_comment'+ID).val('').addClass("greyout");
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "{% comment_form_target %}",
            data: dataString,
            cache: false,
            success: function(html){
                $("#commentload"+ID).append(html);
                $('#id_comment'+ID).val('').removeClass("greyout").focus();
            }
        });
    }
    return false;
});

From positive psychology, to human flourishing, freedom, success, happiness – natural or synthetic – there's no room for negative nellies on today's show, oh no! (Well maybe a few but only for reference). Thomas Jefferson gave us the universal right to pursue it; 40% of it is determined by what we do all day; scientists have an index for it; and the UN have dedicated a whole day to it – yes, 20th March is now International Happiness Day, where we recognise the relevance of HAPPINESS as a universal goal. Actually that index I was talking about is the Happiness index and it measures how successful we are at creating happy and healthy lives for our citizens based on the resources we put in. The happiest nation on the planet is not Denmark, despite what they tell you, it's actually Costa Rica! Amazing place – in 1949 they abolished the army and invested in health and education; they have the highest literacy rate in Latin America; 99% of their electricity comes from renewable resources and they were the first government to commit to being carbon neutral by 2021! I like the way the Greeks view happiness, they see is as living your life in a full and deeply satisfying way. They have word for it – Eudaimonia, which means human flourishing – making happiness an activity rather than a state. So I put it to the poets and they came back with a few pointers. Rumi gives us the secret to happiness, Jane Hirshfield accepts that it comes and goes, Naomi Shihab Nye floats away with it when it does come and AE Stallings doesn't do herself any favours by being afraid of it. Musically, Jimmy Durante, Hoagy Carmichael and Saint Motel will be keeping us in high spirits, so turn that frown upside down now as we take a balanced look at the highs and lows of happiness.
The psychologist Martin Seligman, asserts that humans seem happiest when they have each of these five things. Pleasure, I'm guessing hot-baths, nice food; engagement, like a task or hobby we can lose ourselves in; meaning in our lives; accomplishments or achievements and relationships, so strong social connections or someone to confide in. Now there are pro's and con's to married life, it can affect your personal freedom, having to make compromises, dealing with somebody else's family as well as your own, but there's no denying the paired life makes some things so much easier. Sharing good-times, bearing half the weight of a problem, forming deep bonds and having someone to bear witness to your life, someone that can confirm that you have passed through here, also the word on the street is that couples who stay together live longer, healthier, happier lives in general. But it's hard work. So what is the secret to a happy marriage. Well, we only have to skip back about 800 years through history for this gem of a poem from the popular Sufi mystic and poet Jalal Ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, he was a Persian scholar and we in the West have been enthralled by his wisdom since his works were first translated in the early part of the nineteenth century. On the show he tells us what the secret to a happy marriage is, and it only takes an hour a day.
Also on the show, American poet William Stanley Merwin. He wrote a collection of poetry in 2016 called Garden Time. The title itself suggests patience and he looks back over his life reflecting on loss and love, memory and time. And in this poem the Laughing Child, Merwin recalls something his mother told him, that when he was a baby lying in his pram beneath the kitchen window, she noticed that the pram was shaking and when she looked inside she saw that he was laughing, giggling to himself and laughing. And this simple occurrence sustained his mother then and throughout her life, as she tried to come to terms with the stillbirth of Merwin's brother Hanson. Even the shape of this lyric poem on the page, the lack of punctuation kind of makes it almost float like a memory and it's so unrestrained in its expression. And Merwin is a happy guy, heading into his nineties now, with two Pulitzer prizes and numerous awards to his name. He was a happy child too, in an interview I read, he said that his sister remembered that as a child, he just delighted in everything. So maybe the scientists are right when they reason that 50% of our happiness is determined by our genes. The rest, 10% on life circumstances and 40% on our daily activities, if true, then what we spend our days doing really determines how happy we're going to be. We have an amount of control over it and this is good because we know then that by putting time into building relationships, practising kindness, giving thanks and paying attention to each moment can all contribute to us feeling better about ourselves and laying the ground-work for future happiness.
Contrary to what you might think Cheraphobia is not a fear of the American singer and actress, but a fear of being happy. Aversion to happiness is more prevalent in non-western cultures, where the pursuit of happiness is seen almost as immoral, they believe that being happy will trigger a disaster or calamity. In the west we're mostly interested in maximising our happiness but some people do have this irrational fear of being happy, often born out of a distorted perception of past experiences where they remember being really jubilant about something when almost immediately something negative or disappointing happened to spoil it. So with the threat of misfortune hanging over their heads they'd rather avoid happiness altogether. Now I don't take to kindly to small spaces and we are all of us, afraid of something, heights, water, spiders, flying, flying spiders! In Fear Of Happiness, for American poet and translator AE Stallings it's a glass-floored elevator, high-dive at the pool, ferris-wheels, the merest thought of airplanes. She takes the fear of heights as a starting point from which to analyse the risks involved in full immersion in life, that maybe what we really fear is fear itself, like she says it's not the falling, but that the ledge invents the leap. It's a poem about failure avoidance, instability, in ourselves and our beliefs and that you don't get the rewards without first taking the risks. It's like the Sufi philosophy of being taught lessons through opposites – no pleasure without pain, no joy without sorrow and vice versa – or like Jane Hirshfield says, you were happy you were sad then happy again, so that we are turned from one feeling to another so that we have two wings to fly, not one!
One sure fire way to catapult yourself into instant happiness is to make someone else happy. Conversely one sure fire way to sadness is waiting for someone else to make you happy. That'll be for another day. But like Naomi just told us, happiness can come floating in from anywhere, you've just got to open your eyes to it. It might be watching a robin pick crumbs from a wooden bench in your garden, or horses breathing in the cold dawn of a winter morning or your husbands eyebrows twitching across the table from you as you sip your coffee! Alberto Rios is a Mexican/American surrealist writer who grew up in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, in fact he became the states first poet laureate in 2013. The character in his poem Teodora Luna's Two Kisses, uses his eyebrows in the most endearing way as he tries to cheer his wife. As I read I had an image of comedian Groucho Marx in my head. He would lift his eyebrows …. Across tables, through doorways, sometimes in photographs …. This was his passion, he says. The tone is so magical and engaging and it's about selflessness, generosity and love, actually someone said that, I don't remember who, that love is when the happiness of another is essential to your own. It's about nurturing our relationships and putting others before ourselves. It's an adorable poem and reminds me of something that wise old sage Winnie The Pooh once said Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon. Listen here.
So that's HAPPINESS for you. At the top of the show I was talking about happiness being an activity rather than a condition and in those terms it means that it's possible to cultivate happiness by learning some happiness skills. With a bit of research I found of list of activities we can do everyday to help increase our happiness levels 🙂 The top five:
Savour – to linger longer in the pleasurable experiences of our lives
Thank – you know, what we take for granted, somebody else is praying for so be grateful for what we have
Aspire – be optimistic and create meaning or a sense of purpose in our lives
Give – when we give, especially of ourselves, we increase our own wellbeing
Empathise – care for others, be compassionate – like the Roman philosopher Seneca said Where-ever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.
Also on the show: It's like this:You were happy by Jane Hirshfield, So Much Happiness by Naomi Shihab Nye along with music from Jimmy Durante, Nouvelle Vague, Joni Mitchell, Saint Motel and more.
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a person need to be happy?

A Poet Walks Into A Bar …
The double negative didn't walk into no bar!
What's a Grecian Urn? About twenty thousand drachmas a year after taxes!
Okay I'll stop now, so today we're talking about HUMOUR and like poetry, humour is everywhere and we all respond to it. Cracking jokes can take the awkwardness out of some social situations; at work it can help build relationships; it's a coping strategy too that relieves tension taking the edge off daily stresses which is critical to promoting harmony in our lives and diffusing negative emotions. In the serious business of poetry, humour is often viewed with suspicion and yes there are a lot of nonsense verses out there, fun nursery rhymes and terrible gibberish but then you get the great stuff, the satire, the irony the comic timing from writers like Billy Collins who uses comedy to lighten the pain of loss in his poem Putting Down The Cat which we'll read later, but also here about his dead parents in No Time, he writes:
In a rush this weekday morning,
I tap the horn as I speed past the cemetery
Where my parents are buried
Side by side beneath a slab of smooth granite
Then, all day, I think of him rising up
To give me that look
Of knowing disapproval
While my mother calmly tells him to lie back down.
So through humour he crafts a poem that is full of feeling without being over sentimental. This reminds me of something Russian playwright Anton Chekhov said about having a necessary coldness when you write 'when you want to make the reader feel pity, try to be somewhat colder … the more objective you are, the stronger will be the impression you make'. So using poetic devices such as humour, satire and hyperbole ensure that otherwise serious topics pack more of a punch.
When we laugh, we temporarily give ourselves over to those who make us laugh and that's what we'll do now. Today's show features Putting Down The Cat by Billy Collins, The Cremation Of Sam McGee by Robert William Service (read by Johnny Cash), God Says Yes To Me by Kaylin Haught, Symposium by Paul Muldoon and also, in Ill-wishing Him British poet Dorothy Nimmo takes a stoical approach to her lovers departure. You know it hurts when somebody leaves us and I think that how we heal depends on how we deal. Our outlook is everything and sometimes humour can help to mend the wounds of loss. Humorists have one cardinal rule: Don't be inhibited. It's better to take a rebellious attitude toward sensitive subjects than to pussyfoot around them. Nimmo writes from a pared back place, of a strength gained through painful insight, and with clever sleight of hand, she wittily gets her own back on the man who walks out on her.
Now there's a joker in every pack isn't there. There's always someone who will, I don't know, lets say eat the food someone else was saving! We know who you are William Carlos Williams! Somebody has eaten all the plums – and New Jersey doctor and poet William Carlos Williams gives us a poem written in the form of a note or memo left on a kitchen table, probably a note to his wife that turned into a poem, or as the experts call it – a found poem – where you take an existing text and refashion and reorder it. Was it a fair trade for the plums she was saving for herself? Is he really sorry? Known as an innovator, his poem This Is Just To Say is written in the imagist style, a poetic form that focuses on precise imagery and sharp language. It reminds me of younger days when I used to house-share with people and we'd all have our names left on random grocery items in the fridge or in the cupboard and woe betide anyone who put their hands on my plums!
Next, the American poet and playwright Kenneth Koch gives us a spoof on the plum poem in his Variations On A Theme. Labelled as just a comedic poet, Koch himself spoke of the comic element as something that enabled him to be lyrical. But he was a very funny poet and here in Variations On A Theme By William Carlos Williams, Koch extends the original poem from one to four topics in what seems like almost a retaliation for Williams having eaten the plums! The plums were being kept for breakfast but with Koch now having nothing to do he chops down Williams' house and so on, asking for forgiveness as Williams does in the original.
Remember humour can have a significant positive effect on our lives. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine and it's one of the first things we learn to do as newborns. And funny people receive a lot of attention and admiration don't they? Most studies find humour to be a highly desirable attribute, which probably explains why the acronym GSOH is so popular in dating ads. Humour is big business too, when you think that it influences many of our daily decisions about what books or magazines to read, TV shows to watch, marketers' are constantly trying to grab our attention with funny ads and products, all with their own in-house humorists writing them. And for writers, its all about imagination, constantly asking what if?, looking at ordinary things in extraordinary ways, it's imagination that drives comedy and practically everyone has an imagination – or else no one would ever get married BOOM BOOM!
Music from Clem Snide, The Divine Comedy, Morcambe & Wise, Cathy Davey & more. Enjoy the show!

With the 4A tournament set to get underway on Wednesday, February 13th, we are going to be breaking down each region with in depth analysis. We will cover who you should watch for, the teams that could come out of nowhere, and of course, the bracket buster candidate. We will also list five players from each class that you need to keep an eye on throughout the bracket as they can really change the game in a hurry. The complete Region 4 bracket is posted below.
Ballard is a team that I really like. They are young and have really good guard play. While they don't score a ton of points, they like to play in your face defense and turn turnovers into points. They are scoring 48 points a game this season while only allowing 31 points a game. Ballard leads the region in assists, steals, and 3-pointers made. The trio of sophomore Molly Ihle, sophomore Josie Fleischmann, and freshman Brooke Loewe lead the charge for Ballard. Loewe leads the team scoring 10.4 points a game and Ihle and Fleischmann score 9.8 points a game. Ihle is a stat sheet stuffer as she leads the region in assists, steals, and is fourth in the region in rebounds.
This is a team that I think is very close to Ballard, but not the favorite. Waverly-Shell Rock is a team that is averaging 52.8 points a game, which is the best mark in the region. They are shooting 42 percent from the floor and have made 70 3-pointers on the season. They rarely turn the ball over as they have just 265 turnovers on the year, which is the best in the region. Sophomore Abbie Draper is leading Waverly-Shell Rock scoring 14.8 points a game. Draper is also second in the region in blocks with 31.
Scoring 49.0 points per game, Bondurant-Farrar is the best outside shooting team in the region. They play solid defense, and allow 40.7 points a game. They had a five game losing streak this season which included a 16-point loss to Ballard, who they had lost to previously this year by two points. Like Ballard, they are a very young team with just three upperclassmen on the roster. Avery Fried, a sophomore leads the team in scoring at 15.5 points a game on 46 percent shooting.

'Israeli sovereignty to the Tigris and Euphrates'
Jewish Home MK protests government and slams Herzog for his 'policy of withdrawal,' calls for annexation of Judea-Samaria.

Eliran Aharon
During a protest march in Judea Tuesday calling on the government to keep Palestinian traffic off the roads as a deterrent step, MK Bezalel Smotrich (Jewish Home) spoke to Arutz Sheva and condemned Opposition head MK Yitzhak Herzog (Zionist Union).
Smotrich, a member of the coalition government, criticized Herzog for his comments made during a tour of the area around eastern Jerusalem on Monday, in which he said Israel must "separate" from Palestinian villages in the area in a unilateral withdrawal leading to the creation of a Palestinian state - or else "lose Jerusalem."
"MK 'Buji' Herzog's statements are nothing new, he's continuing the policy of a withdrawal from the homeland," said Smotrich.
"But Israel lives, we won't give a prize to terror, we will implement sovereignty in Jerusalem and Samaria," the MK promised.
In a reference to the Biblical boundaries of Israel, he added, "you know my opinions, we have much greater aspirations, to the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers."
Smotrich has previously called to annex Judea and Samaria and pay Arab residents to emigrate. His ability to deliver on his promises was thrown into question in late January, however, when he broke a promise not to vote with the coalition until Jews were returned to their newly purchased homes in Hevron. The residents have yet to be allowed back in their homes.
It also remains to be seen whether his Jewish Home party would be willing to press for his annexation plans of the entire region, particularly given recent statements by Jewish Home's Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked who ruled out adopting the 2012 Levy Report that defines Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria as legal.
