SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Results are in … Best of Georgia recently released their list of winners for 2021. Making the list are two locally owned businesses — MGreen Productions and Cocktail Hour.

Luke Buckham was born on June 6th, 1980 to religious fanatics in a tiny New York village called Inwood, which is located within the larger town of Hempstead. His father and his godfather both sported large beards, and he himself, perhaps influenced by their early proximity to his life, now wears a large and hearty beard himself. His grandfather, in stark contrast, has never once grown a beard in 78 years of earthly life, despite possessing what is reputed to be an extremely thick fiber of facial hair. Luke has been writing poetry since he was about 17 years of age, having been at that time inspired by Smashing Pumpkins and T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" to begin thusly expressing himself, thereby disqualifying himself for any real shot at the American Dream. He lives in Keene, New Hampshire, where he regularly contributes articles to a local libertarian paper called The Keene Free Press.


Will the US turn Afghanistan into a geopolitical bridgehead in Central Asia or work with China to build peace there?
That is a question posed by an editorial in China's state-run publication Global Times. The editorial believes that the Afghanistan policy revamp by US President Donald Trump is a step in wrong direction.
Reeking of the usual arrogance of Chinese media that threatens India with war every other day in the ongoing Doklam standoff, the editorial argues that it will be stupid on the part of the US "to abandon Pakistan and particularly short-sighted to get too close to India and drift away from Pakistan." Pushing the Pakistani case further, it says that the US needs to respect and consider Pakistan's interests and difficulties, and not push the latter too hard on anti-terrorism issues.
Under his government's Afghanistan Policy, Trump has announced several departures from his established stand to withdraw the US from the war-torn South Asian nation. His emphasis is on increasing the number of US troops in Afghanistan and giving the forces free hand to handle insurgents and not micro-managing then from the Washington. And he clearly said that developing a strategic partnership with India was a critical part of US' strategy for South Asia.
Now China is batting for that Pakistan and it tells how hollow these Chinese claims are, either in this boastful editorial about Chinese importance in Afghanistan when it has almost negligible presence there or the response of the China's Foreign Ministry earlier which defended Pakistan saying the international community should recognize Pakistan's efforts against terrorism.
Continuing its verbal tirade against the US, which banned some Chinese companies and individuals yesterday for their North Koreans links, the editorial says that there is nothing new in Trump's Afghanistan policy and it ignores the complicated situation in Pakistan which cannot be handled by a single power.
The editorial accepts that the US doesn't trust China enough but goes on to say that the US and China share common interests in Afghanistan and proposes that "Afghanistan could become a bridge for the two to expand their cooperation." While the new US policy sees a clear strategic shift towards India, Afghanistan's trusted partner in its reconstruction, Global Times finds no initiative on international cooperation and new thinking in Trump's vision which it believes dangles between the approaches taken by Barack Obama and George W Bush and is aimed at maintaining the status quo.
That line of argument is in stark contrast to what Trump thinks. While detailing the policy in an address to the nation, Trump said, "One way or another, these problems will be solved – I'm a problem solver – and, in the end, we will win." According to Trump and his aides, lengthy deliberations went into formulating the strategy after which Trump reached to a conclusion that the US could not leave Afghanistan in a state that would make it a breeding ground for terror outfits quoting the example of Iraq where a US withdrawal saw emergence of the Islamic State.
Now if the editorial calls that Afghan policy of the US aimless, it is nothing but driven by its vested interests and anti-India streak. China doesn't want a US military base in Afghanistan. And China doesn't want an increased strategic presence of India in Afghanistan that can provide it a vital base overlooking China and deeper access to energy rich Central Asia and Iran.

If you enjoy slots and retro themes, you'll likely like 888 Dragons slot game. This game features giant snake-like dragons and is designed by Pragmatic Play software. You'll find the graphics to be very simple, and you'll find that the reels don't have many special features. However, the simple game mechanics make it a fun option. Here's our review of 888 Dragons.
The interface of the game evokes a traditional Chinese style, with bright colors and hieroglyphs. There is only one pay line and the game displays the cost of each type of symbol, along with the possibility of a mixed match. The highest paying symbols are the Reds, which award $1 per symbol. The game is designed so that players can enjoy the culture of China without having to understand complex Chinese language or etiquette.
In case you're wondering how you can enjoy the fantasy world of fairytales while playing slot machines, you should try out Fairytale Fortune, a new game from Pragmatic Play.

It also features a soundtrack and excellent graphics.
The game's minimum coin value is 0.01 credits. However, this does not mean that you can't increase your stake and win up to five times your bet size. Unlike other similar games, Fairytale Fortune allows you to bet coins worth as low as 0.01 credits and up to 0.5 credits per spin. It is also possible to bet as many as 10 coins per payline. This means that you can wager as much as 75 credits per spin and still come out with a profit.

This slot has a 3×3 score grid and one or five reels, and you can win up to 400 times your bet on a single spin. It also looks and sounds great, and players who love adventure-themed slot games will find the game a great addition to their Pragmatic portfolio.
The game offers 8 paylines, and to receive a payout, you must highlight three consecutive symbols on the reels. The best symbol in this slot is the respin icon, which can award you with 400x your total bet if three of them match. Other symbols include scatters, wilds, and free spins. This game is available in both English and Chinese versions, so you can try your luck with both! The following tips can help you win money playing Magic Journey!
Joker's Jewels

But there are no special features and the basic rules are easy to follow.
While the Joker's Jewels slot game lacks the traditional features like Wild symbols and Scatter symbols, the graphics and sound quality more than make up for the lack of these. You'll also have no difficulty playing the game on mobile, as it's identical to the PC version. You'll be able to enjoy its smooth animation, sound, and graphics. And you won't have to worry about being unable to play the game properly because of its wide variety of orientations.

Rabbi Julie Pelc Named Director of Berit Mila Program of Reform Judaism
Rabbi Norman Cohen, Provost of HUC-JIR, has announced that the administration of the Brit Milah Program of Reform Judaism, a joint project of the CCAR, HUC-JIR, and the URJ, and of NOAM (the National Organization of American Mohalim), is moving to the HUC-JIR/LA campus. Rabbi Julie Pelc will be the new Director of the Brit Milah Program and NOAM.
Rabbi Pelc succeeds Rabbi Donielle Aaron, who has led these programs for the past six years, first in Los Angeles and for the past four years from Chicago. During her tenure as Director, Rabbi Aaron made very significant contributions to the development of the Brit Milah Program and NOAM, including the training of 59 new mohalim since 2002, mostly in areas of need including Wyoming, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Washington. Also, international students from Poland and Argentina were certified. The total number of mohalim certified by the Brit Milah Board now stands at over 300.
Rabbi Aaron created new materials on berit mila for mohalim, community, and rabbis, including a booklet on Circumcision Resources; collected the Reform Responsa on issues related to circumcision; oversaw the updating of the Brit Milah website; published articles on interfaithfamily.com; and has been interviewed and quoted in numerous publications, including the Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune on the topic of circumcision. She organized NOAM's 20th anniversary conference, and arranged for Dr. Edgar Schoen, international circumcision expert, to be a regular consultant with the Brit Milah Program. Rabbi Aaron will remain a consultant of transition to these programs in the coming months.
Rabbi Pelc is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, received master's degrees from the University of Judaism and from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and was ordained as a rabbi by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles in 2006. As a graduate student, she was the recipient of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship.
Rabbi Pelc has been published in numerous magazines and periodicals including Spirituality and Health, Lilith, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, CleverMag, Jewish Magazine, The Epoch Times, and The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle. She is co-editor of the anthology Joining the Sisterhood: Young Jewish Women Write Their Lives, published by the State University of New York Press in 2003. She currently is the Assistant Director of the Kalsman Institute on Judaism and Health at HUC-JIR/LA, and also teaches undergraduate courses in the Literature and Communications Department at the American Jewish University.

Синопис

Пабло Ерминио и Маја припадају различитим друштвеним сталежима. Она је кћерка Отона Алкале, једног од најјачих предузетника у области хортикултуре, док је он један од телохранитеља Антоније Сантамарије, Отонове заклете непријатељице, која чека погодан тренутак да му наплати неизмирене рачуне из прошлости. Антонија и Отон вребају сваку прилику да повреде једно друго, па она користи упознавање Пабла и Маје да смести замку вечитом ривалу. Говори Маји да је Пабло веома успешан и богат узгајивач цвећа. Девојци његов материјални статус није битан, али њеном оцу и те како јесте — Отона би потпуно уништило сазнање да је његова мезимица изгубила главу за младићем кога пас нема за шта да уједе.

Међутим, љубав Маје и Пабла неће бити на коцки само због Антонијиних лажи. Паблова бивша девојка Синди не жели да га се одрекне — трчи за њим и нада се да ће постати његова супруга, иако јој је он јасно ставио до знања да не жели ништа са њом. Са друге стране, Маја такође има удварача. Реч је о Федерику Виљегасу, који жели да се ожени њоме не би ли обезбедио своју будућност, с обзиром на то да је његова породица на ивици банкрота. Отон га потпуно подржава у намери да освоји његову кћерку, јер верује да је милионер. После бројних сплетки и интрига, Маја и Пабло ставиће тачку на своју љубав, а Маја неће саопштити вољеном да чека његово дете, уверена да ће се оженити другом женом. Са друге стране, Федерико се нуди да да своје презиме нерођеном малишану, па Отон организује велико венчање. Када сазна за то, Пабло одлучује да се заувек удаљи од жене свог живота, али судбина, наравно, има друге планове.

BC beat UConn tonight, and it was one of those games that makes being a fan worth it. The team was crushed by the loss of Jess Deveny and hasn't beaten a single ranked team all season (though I will point out that all the ranked teams they played were ranked higher than they were anyway). But tonight was senior night, and BC was not going to lose. Aja Parham was all over the court (13 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals), but really, everyone stepped up -- BC had four players in double digits, compared to UConn's one.
When the buzzer sounded, I was literally jumping for joy -- so was Pam, half of the crowd, and the players. It was a huge win for this team. And when Clare Droesch rushed across the floor to celebrate with Jess, I just about lost it. Jess dropped her crutches and Clare just lifted her into the air. I was this close to rushing the court, people. Oh, I wished I had taped it on ESPN2! Was it a bigger win than last year's in the Big East tournament? I don't know, but since I saw it in person, maybe yes. And if anyone finds a picture of Clare picking up Jess, I must know about it. This AP shot of Jess celebrating was as close as I could get.


2nd Day Collection of Kedarnath, Earns 17 Crores Total from India in 2 Days!
The latest Hindi movie Kedarnath started its journey on a slow note but ended the opening day on a better note than expected. Despite a partial ban in Uttarakhand, it managed to register the higher opening than the blockbuster Stree and become the 19th highest opener of the year so far in Hindi Cinema.
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Kedarnath marks the debut of Saif Ali Khan & Amrita Singh's daughter Sara Ali Khan opposite to Sushant Singh Rajput. Unfortunately, the movie has received mixed reviews from the critics as well as the audience, but everyone is praising the performance of debutante Sara.
On the opening day, Ronnie Screwvala's (RSVP Movies) production took a dull start but witnessed a good growth in footfalls over the evening & night shows in metro cities. In the end, it raked a good business of 7.25 crores on Friday despite having last week release biggie 2.0 in its parallel.
On the next day i.e Saturday, due to the neutral word of mouth, the intense love story Kedarnath recorded only a fair growth and minted the amount of 9.75 crores. With this, its 2 days total collection has become 17 crores from around 2000 screens at the domestic box office.
As per the current trend, Sushant-Sara starrer is expected to grow further on Sunday but doesn't seem able to remain steady on weekdays due to mixed reviews from viewers nationwide.


I had the same Mini Van for 14.5 years and it was starting to give me some trouble at 191,000 miles(who could ask for more??) and decided at age 44 it was my turn for a sassy sporty car. My kids are in HS and college so the carpool days pretty much done. Love this car!! Has a little to much power for my lead foot, lol! The only thing I dislike is the location of seatbelt, hard to reach. That is the only reason comfort gets 4 stars. LOVE the seat warmers. The price was so competitive and the purchase was the easiest we have ever had!!!
My wife and I were looking for a kick around vehicle for the weekends. We were first set on getting a convertible, but just so happen a 2008 Mustang had been shipped in, and was sitting tere. It had relatively low miles for a 2008, and it was very clean like it had really been taken care of by a provate owner. We love the car for the two of us to jump in and scoot around town on the weekends looking cool. We actually bought Mustang hats and cowboy boots to match !

BRESCO incinerator is poisoning families, protesters outside Young's house say
Demonstrators denounce lame-duck mayor's plan to lock Baltimore into another 10 years of using the aging facility to burn trash
Above: Organizer Greg Wilson addresses a crowd outside Mayor Jack Young's house at 5 a.m. protesting his plan to extend the BRESCO incinerator's contract. (J.M. Giordano)
It was impossible to know for sure if he was inside, but the East Baltimore home of Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young was the scene of a loud pre-dawn protest denouncing plans to lock in Baltimore's use of its BRESCO trash incinerator for another decade.
Beating on a drum and chanting loudly, a group of about 20 people Saturday called on Young to drop the agreement fashioned by his law department to extend New Hampshire-based Wheelabrator Technologies' contract to operate BRESCO, Baltimore's biggest source of industrial air pollution.
"We've only got two months left. . . we're not going to go out without a fight," said Franca Muller Paz, a schoolteacher and 12th District City Council Green Party candidate.
Muller Paz was referring to the fact that Young, who lost the Democratic mayoral primary, leaves office in December.
Poised to grant a reprieve to the 35-year-old facility – which releases health-harming substances including nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde and mercury – city officials have pledged to work towards a "zero waste" goal and gradually reduce Baltimore's use of BRESCO.
But incinerator opponents yesterday weren't buying it, noting that plant operators have disclosed that it is not feasible to modify the aging plant to meet stricter emissions limits.
"Wheelabrator has admitted to the fact that they can't burn trash safely in our city," said Greg Wilson, action team leader with Sunrise Baltimore.

Sunrise, Wilson explained, is "a movement of people across the country to stop climate change in its tracks and the corrupting influence of fossil fuels on our politics and economy and to promote thousands of new jobs in the process."
City officials say they are committed to increasing the use of recycling, composting and other zero waste strategies, but argue that ending its use of BRESCO after the contract expires at the end of next year is too costly and unworkable.
Sunrise, along with the South Baltimore Community Land Trust and other BRESCO foes, say the transition to a post-incinerator solid waste strategy is affordable and must happen now.
Early Morning Clamor
At the 5 a.m. action, protesters chanted, "Wake up Jack!" as they stood behind a banner that said, "This is an emergency – act like it!"
Young's spokesman has not responded to a request from The Brew for comment – or confirmation that Young was even in the North Central Avenue rowhouse at the time of the protest.
But some of the mayor's neighbors who did hear the commotion were not happy about it.
"I've lived here all my life," a 65-year-old resident of the neighborhood told a reporter. "If you want to change something, vote or take it to City Hall. People here work all night. We need sleep, not this."
The protesters said the situation is urgent, affecting the health of citizens across the city but especially those living in the South Baltimore neighborhoods that have had higher rates of asthma and other respiratory disease.

Pressure on Young
The offer to extend Wheelabrator's contract comes as part of negotiations over a legal challenge to the strict emissions standards imposed earlier this year under the "Baltimore Clean Air Act."
Pushing to keep pressure on Young, Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke recently introduced the "Ban the Burn Act," a bill to prevent the city from entering into contracts with incinerators.
"Whether it's five more years or five more days of having this incinerator, it's going to continue to poison our families" – Franca Muller Paz.
Pointing out that the presumptive next mayor, Council President Brandon Scott, is on record calling for the shutdown of the incinerator, the activists yesterday said Young should leave the decision about BRESCO to his successor and not commit the city to its continued operation.
"Whether it's five more years or five more days of having this incinerator," Muller Paz said, "it's going to continue to poison our families."

La famille Lazard est une famille franco-américaine de banquiers.

Historique
Originaire de la Bohême, la famille Lazard s'établit en Lorraine au  comme marchands.

Les jeunes frères Lazard, Lazare et Alexandre, puis Simon et Élie, quittent la Lorraine en 1840 pour tenter l'aventure en Amérique. Ils s'installent d'abord à la Nouvelle-Orléans et y fondent un commerce de gros spécialisé en tissus et cotonnades, rapidement devenu une adresse réputée du quartier français. Après avoir revendu l'affaire, Lazare et Alexandre rentrent en France, tandis que Simon et Élie s'établissent à San Francisco, suivant la ruée vers l'or. Ils se lancent dans l'importation, puis dans les opérations financières, étendant leur réseau au sein de la communauté française. En 1861, ils rachètent la plus importante filature lainière de Californie. Le capital de leur société passe de  en 1848 à 10 millions de francs en 1870. Ils sont rejoints par leurs demi-frères et cousins (Weill, Aron, Cahn, Lang, etc.).

Bien que les premières opérations se déroulent à San Francisco, ils installent le siège de la banque Lazard Frères à Paris. L'année suivante, une succursale, Lazard Brothers, est ouverte à Londres. Au début des années 1880, Alexandre Weill réussit à implanter la banque à Wall Street, devenant ainsi la première banque franco-américaine de la place.

What other nearby town has a parking crisis? It's Red Bank downtown.
There is constant competition for spaces in the White Street lot which can accommodate 273 vehicles. Merchants are losing money because shoppers from affluent surrounding towns are reluctant to drive to downtown. Unlike Asbury, Red Bank has no parking garage.
Red Bank will embark on its first parking study in 20 years, but the idea that creating more spaces is desirable is not such a good plan; instead better use of existing spaces should be emphasized.
APP: In a sharp break from the "auto-centric" thinking that turned vast stretches of America's cities and suburbs into paved parking lots, today's top parking experts are advising cities from Princeton to Pasadena that the solution to their parking problems isn't to add more spaces, but rather to better manage the spaces they already have.
In Ocean Grove, Blogfinger has been stressing that the Groaners are hopelessly mislead in finding new parking spaces, when what we need are parking meters, parking permits, and less cars in town.
We need to abolish all but a few giant events which clog the Grove's existing parking most of the weekends in season. It's about time that our parking emphasis should be on the residents here whose quality of life is adversely affected by car glut.
Red Bank's issues are focused on their downtown. That is what defines them, but OG should fulfill its destiny and master plan by promoting a residential, historic small town for the future.
Ocean Grove is unique in that the OGCMA owns the land and will not support installing parking meters or instituting resident parking. That being said, the demand for OG parking is not manageable by using the usual supply and demand models. One way that Red Bank can readily create additional parking is by redeveloping existing metered public parking lots into multilevel parking decks, an approach under consideration . Additionally, Red Bank does not have neighboring cities who attract thousands of visitors to their beaches/boardwalks/restaurants/bars and clubs and who utilize Red Bank's parking facilities. There is no solution to the OG parking situation unless the OGCMA decides to engage on this matter and their past history suggests that they are not interested in doing so as it may conflict with their religious mission.
The primary mission of OGCMA is making money (to continue their religious agenda). OGCMA opposes parking permits because if parts of our streets are reserved for residents it will inconvenience visitors to the beach and auditorium and those visitors may stop coming to OG (and OGCMA is not going to spend money for any parking garage or busing).
If OGCMA has reduced revenues from its beach and auditorium, it will have to increase "land rent" for homeowners. But OGCMA knows it cannot increase "land rent" for established homeowners (only can levy some high "land rent" on people buying new constructions). If OGCMA tried to increase "land rent" for established homeowners, OG homeowners would finally unite and challenge "land rent" in court (we pay taxes on this same land to Neptune) and this whole OGCMA house of cards would come crumbling down.

Hadoop MapReduce Next Generation - CLI MiniCluster.

Hadoop MapReduce Next Generation - CLI MiniCluster.

Purpose

Hadoop Tarball

Running the MiniCluster

Purpose

Using the CLI MiniCluster, users can simply start and stop a single-node Hadoop cluster with a single command, and without the need to set any environment variables or manage configuration files. The CLI MiniCluster starts both a <tt>YARN</tt>/<tt>MapReduce</tt> & <tt>HDFS</tt> clusters.

This is useful for cases where users want to quickly experiment with a real Hadoop cluster or test non-Java programs that rely on significant Hadoop functionality.

Hadoop Tarball

You should be able to obtain the Hadoop tarball from the release. Also, you can directly create a tarball from the source:

$ mvn clean install -DskipTests
$ mvn package -Pdist -Dtar -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip

NOTE: You will need protoc 2.5.0 installed.

The tarball should be available in <tt>hadoop-dist/target/</tt> directory.

Running the MiniCluster

From inside the root directory of the extracted tarball, you can start the CLI MiniCluster using the following command:

$ bin/hadoop jar ./share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-2.5.2-tests.jar minicluster -rmport RM_PORT -jhsport JHS_PORT

In the example command above, <tt>RM_PORT</tt> and <tt>JHS_PORT</tt> should be replaced by the user's choice of these port numbers. If not specified, random free ports will be used.

There are a number of command line arguments that the users can use to control which services to start, and to pass other configuration properties. The available command line arguments:

$ -D <property=value>    Options to pass into configuration object
$ -datanodes <arg>       How many datanodes to start (default 1)
$ -format                Format the DFS (default false)
$ -help                  Prints option help.
$ -jhsport <arg>         JobHistoryServer port (default 0--we choose)
$ -namenode <arg>        URL of the namenode (default is either the DFS
$                        cluster or a temporary dir)
$ -nnport <arg>          NameNode port (default 0--we choose)
$ -nodemanagers <arg>    How many nodemanagers to start (default 1)
$ -nodfs                 Don't start a mini DFS cluster
$ -nomr                  Don't start a mini MR cluster
$ -rmport <arg>          ResourceManager port (default 0--we choose)
$ -writeConfig <path>    Save configuration to this XML file.
$ -writeDetails <path>   Write basic information to this JSON file.

To display this full list of available arguments, the user can pass the <tt>-help</tt> argument to the above command.

I finally found a moment to finish up this blog post, and there's definitely more on the way! I loved getting to hang out with Rhett and his horses for his senior session in Weiser! We even got a few on the tractor. We took photos with the same truck and his older brother just a few years ago, so I loved getting to go back and shoot more with Rhett! This school year has kicked off with some awesome seniors like Rhett already, and I can't believe that the first week of school is already at an end!

I think this will be Tonks's last election, whatever happens. If he wins with a reduced vote count, he'll hear the orchestra starting to drown him out and a hook appearing from stage left. A byelection will be called, and he will introduce the Liberal candidate ... Chris Tonks.
If he loses (now not out of the question, given the numbers) then Mike Sullivan will face Tonks, Mk II in the next election.
Tonks has been an absolute embarrassment to the party, and to Canada.

Take a walk (and talk) on the wild side
Austrian choreographer Phillipp Gehmacher has developed a new form of lecture-performance in which choreographers talk about movement while moving.
By ORI J. LENKINSKI
Published: DECEMBER 18, 2013 08:04
Walk+Talk 370
(photo credit: Georg Eckmayr)
Walking and talking are two of the most basic actions a person can perform.
That said, the combination of these simple activities has led to many and varied forms of expression, from theater to dance to rap music. For Austrian choreographer Phillipp Gehmacher, walking and talking are the foundations of an intricate and personal practice that has been developing over the past several years.
Gehmacher is currently in Israel for the first time as a guest of Arkadi Zaides' Moves Without Borders, an initiative that brings international artists to the country interact with the local dance community.
Zaides first saw Gehmacher's work at a theater in Berlin about three years ago. He immediately recognized in Gehmacher a potential partner in the project he was scheming up. "Arkadi invited me shortly afterwards to come to Israel," said Gehmacher in a recent interview with The Jerusalem Post.
"He told me that he wanted to bring people that were working internationally to understand what is going on locally and for locals to understand what is going on internationally. I was curious about Israel so we started to discuss the possibility of my teaching and performing."
Gehmacher is the second guest of Zaides', following the visit of his collaborator Meg Stuart's November visit. While in town, Stuart taught a three-day workshop, hosted a onehour laughter session and performed an evening of solos at Warehouse 2 in Jaffa. The engagement was a huge success and managed to engage a wide range of local artists.
Initially, Gehmacher's visit was meant to precede that of Stuart's, however, due to the unstable political situation in Israel last November, he was forced to postpone. "I was a little unprepared to understand what the situation was really like so I decided not to go at that specific moment," he explained.
The extra time to plan this visit afforded both Gehmacher and Zaides the opportunity to broaden the scope of his activities while in town. Gehmacher's time in Israel will touch on many facets of his current artistic exploration. On Tuesday and Wednesday night, Gehmacher will perform at the Tmuna Theater in Tel Aviv. For the past several days, Gehmacher has been busy teaching a workshop of his practice, called walk+talk, at the Kelim Choreography Program in Bat Yam.
In addition, an installation of his video creations entitled "From Postures to Gestures to Objects to Words" is now on display at the Halalit Gallery on Hayarkon Street.
Gehmacher was born and raised in Austria. In 1993, he traveled west to London where he studied at the Laban Center and the London Contemporary Dance School. His first choreographies were created during his time in England. In 1999, Gehmacher returned to Vienna. His works Good Enough and Mountains Are Mountains quickly won the attention of dance-lovers and critics.
Walk+talk began some five years ago as an experiment. He invited 10 of his peers to take the stage at a Vienna theater. These artists were asked to talk about their work as choreographers. On the bare stage, the participants came to life, conveying their thoughts on movement while moving around the space. The event fired Gehmacher's imagination, setting him on a path that has resulted in the creation of a new genre of performance. Gehmacher teaches his method to professional dancers around the world.
"I've taken a tremendous journey from seemingly being nonverbal and reduced to more expressive.
It's very important for me to communicate now. When you, as an artist, have a body of work you have a responsibility to that work. When the work is not easily taken or accepted or seen by an audience you have to take even more care of the work. The challenge is to continue to share, to communicate and to take a new step," he said.
Recently, Gehmacher has become more and more taken with the notion of performing outside of the theater. His work has easily transitioned into museum halls, where the pedestrian-style movement of his performances receives new context.
He often collaborates with artists from the theater, visual arts and performance fields. In 2007, Gehmacher joined forces with Meg Stuart to create Maybe Forever, a candid duet about love lost.
"My favorite thing about performances is the live moment. I guess my favorite thing and my least favorite is that it is timed. Even if it's durational work, it is timed. You have to deal with the attention you are demanding," he said.
Phillipp Gehmacher will perform walk+talk/Lecture Performance at the Tmuna Theater tonightat 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.tmu-na.org.il.

A Powerful Lesson About Achievement

The story offered insight into one of the most serious social problems of our time—the plight of the black underclass. Unfortunately, the media could only spare it passing mention before returning to their standard fare of turmoil, mayhem, and woe.
The story is that of 17-year-old black student Kwasi Enin of Long Island, NY, an outstanding role model not only for other black youth but for all American youth. He holds the remarkable distinction of having been accepted by all eight Ivy League colleges: Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania.
To be accepted by any one of these prestigious institutions is an honor bestowed on very few individuals. To be accepted by all of them is unheard of. Yet even more impressive than this achievement are the qualifications that underlie it: Enin scored 2250 out of a possible 2400 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which placed him in the 99th percentile of those who took the test. Meanwhile, he is a shot-putter on his high school track and field team, volunteers at a local hospital, plays the violin and viola, and sings in an a cappella group.
Although he aspires to be either a cardiologist or a neurologist, Enin explains in his impressive entrance exam essay that it was his experience in music that taught him "leadership, balance, and friendship."
So what were the keys to this young first generation American's success?
He comes from an intact family that values achievement and modeled hard work. His parents, who emigrated from Ghana in the 1980s, are both nurses, and they and his uncles and cousins were academically successful.
His command of the English language is laudable, as is evident from his college application essay.
He makes a good impression. In his Newsday interview following the announcement of the Ivy League acceptances, he was dressed casually yet appropriately in a sport shirt and a suit jacket. He also spoke softly yet clearly and confidently, maintained eye contact with the interviewer, and smiled warmly as he spoke. Clearly, his attitude was one of respect for himself and others.
He is a humble person. When asked about his reaction to being accepted at all eight institutions, rather than mention the years of arduous effort he had devoted to learning, he instead said he felt "pride, appreciation, and thankfulness" and went on to express gratitude to his teachers, counselors, and parents for their role in his achievement.
The lessons suggested by this uplifting story have been either missed or ignored by politicians, the media and entertainment industries, and many education leaders for the last half-century. These lessons are important not only for the black underclass, but for the white and Hispanic underclasses, as well. They are as follows:
Every human being has considerably more potential for achievement in education and in life than is evident in childhood.
Only effort can reveal the amount and kind of one's potential. (Tests are no substitute for effort—they reveal only how much potential one has actualized previously.)
Effort does not come automatically for most people. They need continuing encouragement and guidance to maintain their commitment.
A stable home with concerned and loving parents is the first and most fundamental means of encouraging and guiding a young person's efforts toward self-development, and of cultivating wholesome values and attitudes.
A supportive school system is also essential to young people's development. This means a curriculum that challenges students to work hard and emphasizes the attitudes and values associated with success in school and in life. It also means teachers that believe in every student's learning potential and work diligently to develop it.
How should America profit from these lessons? Political leaders should put aside divisive accusatory rhetoric, affirm these lessons, and develop initiatives that strengthen the family and the education system. Educators should have greater faith in students' learning potential and design their curriculums to focus on that potential. Individuals in the communications and entertainment media should give less attention to negative messages of victimization caused by poverty and discrimination and more attention to positive stories like Kwasi Enin's.
Such initiatives will inspire legions of young people to rise above defeatism and self-pity and strive to follow the example of Kwasi Enin. And that effort will benefit not only them but all Americans.

A general in waiting
Emmanuel Ngouelondele-Mongo was not the only critic of the conduct of Congo's 12 July presidential election or President Denis Sassou-Nguesso's record in power (AC Vol 50 No 12). Former Finance Minister Mathias Dzon was equally outspoken. Yet Ngouelondele, a retired Gendarmerie General, carries a certain moral authority as a loyal professional soldier who served both the old Marxist regime as security chief and, later, President Pascal Lissouba's government as head of the President's Military Office. He speaks from his home in Brazzaville, rather than from the comfort of exile. At 72, though, he is past the age limit for presidential candidates.


The Envious Eyes set achieves maximum volume using a strand to strand application. Every single natural strand is coated to create a truly enviable appearance. Depending on the type of lash extension selected this look can be soft and feathery or a heavily Mascara'd look. For this set we apply anywhere between 95-120 lashes. This is determined by the availability of your natural lashes.
The Alluring Eyes set is ideal for the client that wants a step up from natural without going all out. 90 individual strands per eye are applied throughout the lash line creating a look resembling 3 coats of mascara.
The Trial set is an extremely light look comparable with a very light coat of mascara. This is ideas for those that would just like to try out lash extensions.
During a refill process all overgrown lash extensions are removed and replaced with a new extension. Any lashes that have shed off will also be replaced. At Envious Lashes we aim to keep you at your original volume. When returning for your refill this will be the ideal time to upgrade from your original set. If you currently have lashes from another Salon you will be charged a $50 Upcharge.
A more balanced look can be achieved by adding bottom lashes to your set. Bottom lashes will compliment your look and take your eyes from noticeable to enticing by making them appear larger. This is ideal for a special event or a look that is completely mascara free everyday. For this set we apply anywhere between 16-45 lashes. This is determined by the availability of your natural lashes.
During a bottom lash refill all over grown lashes are removed and replace. If you have lost any off your extensions they will be replaced at this time.
The bombshell set is perfect for those that love drama. Unlike the traditional application, where one strand is applied per lash, but anywhere between 3 to 6 strands are applied per lash. With this volumizing technique lash extensions that are finer than normal are applied to create a soft, dark, feathery, mink like appearance. This 3D-6D method is the ultimate option to give you that bombshell appearance without causing strain on the natural lash.
Volume lashes hold really well because of their extremely light weight and flexibility. However the extensions will grow out, therefore the removal and replacements are made at this time.
This 45 minute treatment enhances your natural lashes by lifting the hairs and curling them upwards from the base to the tip. Includes complimentary tint and conditioning treatment.
Unlike the traditional lash tint this technique will also tint the skin above your lashline to add an eyeliner effect, that compliments your tinted lashes.
Our custom ombré eyebrow tint frames your face and complements your skin tone, giving you the look of natural powdered brows.

Balkanization, primitive accumulation, & imperialism's collapse
By Rainer Shea (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments
With the collapse of the U.S. empire's neo-colonial regime in Afghanistan, the full extent of imperialism's ruptures have been exposed for all the world to see. Washington has further lost credibility as a power that can project reliable military force. Afghanistan's heroin ratline, which this regime facilitated, has fallen away--to the effect that U.S. imperialism has tangibly lost profits. The empire is more desperate than ever for ways to keep its capital from collapsing, to keep profits up. So it's not just intensifying neoliberal policies within all the countries it controls, but destroying an increasing amount of these countries via destabilization, Balkanization, and partitioning, which creates humanitarian crises.
I've come to call this process "the empire cutting its losses." Because as more countries embrace China's vision for a multi-polar world--with Afghanistan having recently joined the pro-Sino camp due to the Taliban's growing ties to the PRC--Washington increasingly decides that it's better to obliterate these countries than let them further weaken U.S. capital. Destruction, rather than "nation-building," is ever more the goal of the imperialists.
The fact that Washington's attempts to "nation-build" within Africa since the start of the AFRICOM era in 2007 have constantly produced chaos in the region, just like how the "nation-building" in Afghanistan and Iraq fell apart due to local guerrilla resistance, has shown Washington that it has no alternative other than to burn the world down. It's like when Margaret Thatcher concluded--given the terminal decline in global profits following the 1970s economic crises--that there was now "no alternative" to neoliberalism. In order to keep profits up at this stage of capitalism's implosion, wealth has had to be increasingly siphoned up to the rich via privatization, regressive taxation, wage cuts, deregulation, and austerity.
Neoliberalism has itself been an engineered collapse of society, sold under the banner of "freedom." And this logical extension of neoliberalism that U.S. militarism has been proliferating, wherein the first countries on the destabilization chopping block become deprived not just of workers' benefits but of their most basic social functions, is similarly being pitched as a way to bring "democracy" to these places.
Even the U.S.-installed fascist regime in Ukraine, the most relatively successful nation-building project that Washington has embarked on in the last two decades, has trended towards an Afghanistan-style collapse; the regime has pummeled Ukraine with severe corruption and neoliberal shock policies, along with a costly proxy war against Russia and an internal scorched-earth Nazi paramilitary death-squad campaign. Consequently, Ukraine has already become a failed state where the militias have filled the power vacuum. Like how the U.S.-created jihadist organizations, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban, have filled the power vacuum from Washington's destabilization of their region.
And as Washington scrambles to destabilize Afghanistan further, it's mobilizing additional jihadist proxies--with the goal of freeing up Afghanistan's $1 trillion in minerals for exploitation by Gulf monarchs and Western capitalists. It's an expansion of the post-invasion neo-colonial shock doctrine in Iraq, which imposed extreme neoliberal policies on Iraq while dividing Baghdad between wealthy "green zones" and disposable underclass "red zones." An unsustainably provocative and inequality-producing project that inevitably descended into civil war and humanitarian catastrophe, as will be the fate for all the other places where this destabilization campaign succeeds. The imperialists pretend less and less that their goal is to bring peace.
We see this unmasking of the empire as it engages in ever more kleptocracy, otherwise known as "primitive accumulation." In this, the imperialists keep trying to cover their guilty tracks, then getting exposed. This year, the Biden administration axed an oil company's existing waiver for illegally extracting oil from the Kurdish-controlled parts of Syria, then secretly withdrew some of the U.S. troops within the oil fields.
Most sources say that the U.S. is preparing for a full exit from the region. But as Arabi Souri of Syria News has assessed upon observing that fact, this retreat comes only after the empire has suffered the repercussions from the chaos it's sown, chaos that won't let up for as long as the imperialists still have the capacity to perpetuate it:
Biden under Obama, later Trump, and now Biden again have deployed thousands of troops in Syria to fight for ISIS, not against it, to steal Syrian resources, and to divide the country into smaller isolated cantons based on ethnic lines which it can control through divide and conquer strategy, the goal was also to strangle both Iran and Russia economically allowing a Qatari gas pipeline to go through Syria to the Mediterranean and then Europe bypassing both countries, and the final goal was to secure Israel's expansionist into more land to achieve the 'Greater Israel Project' dubbed the 'Greater Middle East Project' in which the Turkish madman Erdogan plays a leading role in as he stated he was tasked to play by George W. Bush in an interview on a Turkish TV. Despite [a] series of failures in achieving any of its goals and instead, losing more strategically while killing, maiming, and displacing millions of innocent people both in Syria and in Iraq, the Biden Obama, Trump, Biden again regimes needed a lesson like the defeat in Afghanistan to wake up. Will the Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists wake up before it's too late when they find themselves alone facing the Syrian people after their employers abandon them?
The SDF have the same role as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement in Afghanistan, and of the new mujahideen: to serve as proxy forces in Washington's expanding efforts to keep regions unstable. In Ethiopia, the terrorist organization that the U.S. has tasked with this is the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
All Americans have been hearing about Ethiopia is that the Ethiopian government has been blocking humanitarian aid--a lie that is designed to divert attention from the crimes of the civil war's real source, the TPLF. These allegations are utterly specious, and ignore the record of internationally outstanding humanitarianism that the TPLF's opponents have extended. It's TPLF that's initiated a campaign of violence throughout the region, and that's been enriching its own elites at the cost of a new famine.
By backing the TPLF's resurgence, the imperialists have created a partition within Ethiopia that allows the terrorist group to deprive the hungry population of food aid. Food aid that's come from imperialist agencies like USAID, which has hypocritically sought to blame the government for the famine while allowing its own resources to be misused. It's no wonder Washington refuses to classify the TPLF as a terrorist organization; otherwise the U.S. would have no plausible deniability in its enabling of warlords to starve the people.
Washington's sanctions against Ethiopia, which are done both to punish the government for working with China and to make the country too chaotic for the BRI, have aided the TPLF's mission to deepen instability. As Bana Negusse has assessed about this reality that the charges against the government are essentially projection from the pro-TPLF side, "Anyone with a minimal understanding or knowledge about Eritrea and the region's general history, not to mention a basic grasp of logic, would know that these allegations are absolutely preposterous and devoid of truth." And their end goal is a miniature version of the U.S. empire's drive to burn the world amid its own collapse:
TPLF remnants have [been] carrying out sporadic attacks and looting materials and resources in order to try to survive and somehow sustain their campaign of violence. In the midst its defeat, the TPLF also released thousands of criminals - some estimates put the number at well over 10,000 - from prison, and carried out an array of destructive acts, such as destroying roads, airports, and telecommunications facilities. During the past several months, the group's remnants have additionally remained busy through organizing terrorist cells and death squads to conduct sabotage and reprisals, block humanitarian assistance, and carry out assassinations. The goal, as explained by many of its officials, members, and affiliates, has been to sow chaos, insecurity, and instability in the region so as create overwhelming problems for Ethiopia's federal and local authorities and prevent a return to anything resembling peace or normalcy.
The goal of these efforts to manufacture mass suffering, and to scapegoat Ethiopia's government for the crisis, is to get the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution permitting Washington to militarily intervene. But the appeals of the imperialists to the Council have so far failed, because Russia and China have blocked them. So in Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Syria, and elsewhere, the imperialists are reacting by intensifying their campaign of chaos, which at this point feels more punitive than anything else.

Q: Best way to insert 18000+ rows using MySQL I have a script that parses a csv file that has 18000+ rows in it. At the moment my code builds up a SQL statement of the format:
INSERT INTO (...) VALUES (..., ..., ...)

When I output the compiled SQL and run it in the database directly I get the following:
Error in Processing Request
Error code: 500
Error text: Internal Server Error

I think the data is valid as I did a direct import via phpmyadmin just to test the initial file. I also did a smaller test of my code with a smaller version of the final file and that worked fine.
So my question is have I created a SQL query that is too long to run and if so is there a better way to do this?
As an aside this code is being executed from the backend of WordPress which is where the file upload function will live.
Would love to get some feedback on this.

A: Take a look at MySQL's LOAD DATA INFILE statement which reads rows from a text file into a table at a very high speed.
LOAD DATA [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL] INFILE 'file_name'

Affectv gains new customers for Western Union and boosts their website registrations, resulting in a 97% uplift in conversion rate on Affectv | We find and deliver new customers for brands through personalised advertising.
Western Union partnered with Affectv in order to magnify their reach among specific nationalities and communities within the UK. By using their wealth of data to gain insights into Western Union's audience, Affectv then generate a lookalike model to target with personalised messages. The tailored ads boosted consumer engagement, spread brand awareness and attracted a wider audience, which resulted in a 97% conversion uplift.
Western Union tasked Affectv with magnifying their reach among specific nationalities and communities within the UK. Their key objectives were to find new customers and heighten brand awareness in order to boost registrations on their Website. Affectv were therefore required to find a highly niche audience within the competitive money transfer market, to then reach at scale and action to register on Western Union's website.
Through analysing the browse, search and share data of Western Union's existing audience, Affectv were able to provide them with consumer insights to help them better understand and engage with both their existing and prospect customers. Some of the insights gathered showed that: the audience was of a young demographic - between the ages of 18-34; they were interested in urban culture, music and clothing; and the majority of them resided in built-up urban areas such as London and the South East, often in large groups and/or family environments.
These insights were then used to build a lookalike model of Western Union's audience, which allowed Affectv to target specific nationalities and communities with personalised messages. Affectv used real time data to ensure each individual was targeted with the relevant tailored ad, in the right location and at the best conversion times. The well known marketing tactic of Social Proof was used in overlay on top of the original creative, acting as a social trigger to further drive sales and engagement.
Affectv tracked the number of Western Union registrations throughout the campaign and found that the use of tailored ads resulted in a 97% conversion uplift when compared to original ads. Having been so impressed by Affectv's outstanding level of results, Western Union instantly rebooked with us, increasing the budget by more than 7 times the initial amount.
Using their depth of data, Affectv achieved great results from understanding the current Citrix audience and targeting relevant new customer using the social proof tactic from real time data to inform the ads and increase conversions.
Europcar needed to increase market share in domestic car rental within the UK, and partnering with Affectv to find these new customers within the UK who wanted to rent a car, and serve them a tailored ad using social proof meant they beat the CPA target by 11%.


Istanbul: A Turkish court on Friday sentenced two Syrian people smugglers to more than four years in prison over the drowning of Aylan Kurdi, the toddler who became a symbol of Europe's refugee crisis when his lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach.
The court in the resort town of Bodrum found Syrian nationals Muwafaka Alabash, 36, and Asem Alfrhad, 35, guilty of trafficking migrants and sentenced them to four years and two months, the Dogan News Agency said.
But it cleared them of causing the death of five people "through deliberate negligence", a charge that carried a sentence of up to 35 years in prison.
Pictures of the three-year-old Syrian toddler face down in the sand on a Turkish beach triggered global anguish and the public outcry, to a certain extent, spurred the EU into greater action in the crisis.
He drowned after his family decided in early September to make the risky journey across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece in an overloaded open boat.
Aylan's mother Rihana and brother Ghaleb, four, and two others also died in the same accident as they attempted the crossing from Bodrum to the island of Kos.
Aylan's father Abdullah Kurdi had been implicated in the tragedy, with Turkish authorities originally accusing him in absentia of being responsible for the deaths and driving the boat at the time of the disaster.
However, prosecutors had dropped the legal proceedings against Kurdi, who now lives outside of Turkey, at an earlier stage in the trial.
A lawyer for the defendants, Kemal Ertugrul, said the pair would not have been jailed if they were Turkish and reaffirmed the past accusations against Abdullah Kurdi.
"There is one name missing from the real organisers and culprits," he said.
His family, many of whom are now based in Canada, had previously rubbished similar allegations against him broadcast by foreign television as "ridiculous".
Kurdi became a prominent figure through media interviews following Aylan's death and delivered an "alternative" Christmas message in Britain in 2015, aired on a rival channel at the same time as Queen Elizabeth II's traditional address.
The sentencing of the two men came as European Union head Donald Tusk was to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks on how to stem the massive flow of migrants into Europe.
Speaking in Istanbul the day earlier, Tusk had expressed determination to "break the business model of smugglers" floating the idea that migrants could be shipped back to Turkey from Greece.
Experts agree that smashing the rackets of smugglers who have operated in Turkey for months with apparent impunity is key to solving the crisis.
"The EU has seen few improvements in Turkey's control of the vast mafia networks that channel refugees," wrote Marc Pierini, visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe, estimating traffickers earned at least 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) in 2015.
Turkey has become the major hub for Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi, Eritrean and other refugees and migrants seeking to undertake the risky crossing to the European Union in a flow that has caused huge alarm across the continent.
The Turkish government struck a deal with the EU in November to halt the flow of refugees, in return for three billion euros ($3.2 billion) in financial assistance.
But the deal and wintry weather in the Mediterranean do not appear to have deterred the migrants, with people still arriving on the Greek islands daily.
According to the latest figures from the International Organization for Migration, 125,819 people have crossed the Aegean from Turkey to Greece so far this year. But it said arrivals have been below average so far in March, with 2,771 recorded.


Rice flour (also rice powder) is a form of flour made from finely milled rice and has been used historically in baby foods and a few inter-generational favorites, such as Rice crispies. This organic rice flour is milder, lighter and easier to digest than wheat flour and is a great substitute for people who are gluten intolerant. Rice flour is also used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen since it inhibits liquid separation. Rice flour is staple food in India, Japan, Southeast Asia and Thailand. To make the flour, the husk of rice or paddy is removed and raw rice is obtained. The raw rice is then ground to flour.Popular dishes made using Rice Flour are pancakes, waffles, rice cakes, brownies, barley couscous, noodles, desserts and sweets. It is also used as a coating batter has become the key to many chicken, fish and vegetable signature dishes.
