Hollande's visit to Moscow: A sign of the 21st century entente?
Nov 28, 2015Ruslan Kostyuk Opinion
It remains to be seen if the French president's visit to Russia is able to create a viable and robust global coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Greter Syria.

French President François Hollande's visit to Moscow wrapped up his short diplomatic tour aimed at creating an effective global anti-terrorist coalition.
The barbaric terrorist attacks perpetrated on Nov. 13 had a major impact on the French authorities' assessment of the situation in Syria. Naturally, these events have brought about major changes in France: The government declared a state of emergency and then extended it for a three-month period, the police and National Gendarmerie were authorized to add 5,000 additional troops and the procedure for searching terrorist suspects was simplified.
Thus, Hollande adopted what the French refer to as a "security policy." At the moment, the decision to declare a state of emergency is supported by over 90 percent of the French population.
Also, right after the massacre in Paris, French officials declared that their main goal now is the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Greater Syria (ISIS). French Prime Minister Manuel Valls clearly stated, "Our purpose in not to contain, but to destroy ISIS."
Hollande shares the French Prime Minister's opinion. During a joint press conference with U.S. President Barack Obama following their Tuesday White House meeting, Hollande said, "Our military goal is to destroy ISIS and all its strongholds, undermine its financing, track down its leaders, disrupt its networks and seize control over their territory."

Due to the current circumstances, Hollande is in a position to play a central role in the creation of an international anti-terrorist coalition. Since Nov. 13, France has stepped up its air force involvement in Syria.
The French authorities still believe that diplomatic talks must be held in order to compel Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down and create a viable government of national unity. However, the military will focus on the destruction of ISIS.
It looks like this recent tour was a fruitful one for Hollande. British Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to begin air strikes in Syria shortly. German Chancellor Angela Merkel weighed in by saying, "If France asks for additional support, we will not turn that request down." Obama took a similar stance by saying, "We will reclaim the territory occupied by ISIS. We will cut off their financing."
However, almost everyone in France acknowledges that objectively Russia is ISIS's most active adversary in Syria at the present time. Even though major Paris newspapers (Liberation, Monde) have claimed that the Russian Air Force in Syria has been primarily targeting non-ISIS groups, Hollande realizes that if Russia does not join the existing coalition, the destruction of ISIS could take a long time. Still, France is a member of NATO and the U.S.-led coalition that currently includes 65 countries.
By the time that the French President arrived in Russia, it was clear that there would be no official announcement about the creation of a wider coalition with Moscow, Tehran and Damascus.
At his White House meeting with Hollande, Obama commented on the Russian involvement in Syria, stating that, "if the Russian authorities prioritize fighting against the moderate opposition that could be a part of the future Syrian government, our coalition cannot support them."
Recommended: "If Russia, the West refuse to cooperate in Syria now, it will be insanity"
Indeed, it is hardly possible that a 21st century alliance could be cemented when events such as the shooting down of a Russian bomber by the Turkish Air Force and Saudi Arabia's use of the UN to push a resolution through its Human Rights Committee aiming to condemn Russian and Iranian intervention in Syria occur. Inter-imperialistic differences in the Middle East are an objective reality and they cannot be dismissed with a wave of the wizard's wand.
Nadezhda Arbatova, the head of the Department of European Political Studies at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations in Moscow, makes an excellent point in saying that "after the terrorist attacks in Paris and the explosion of the Russian charter plane, Russia and France are in the same boat when it comes to facing the international terrorist threat."
It is obvious that this connection was a prominent factor in changing the official French approach to cooperating with Russia on the Syrian issue. Various political forces in France ranging from the Left Front to the National Front are pushing for stronger cooperation with Russia in the fight against the jihadist threat.
The leaders of The Republicans, the main opposition party, go even further. Ex-Prime Minister of France François Fillon said, "The President should prove the validity of the alliance. That can be done by lifting sanctions against Russia."
It is common knowledge that immediately after France intensified its air strikes on ISIS, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Russian military "to establish direct contact with the French and treat them as allies on land and sea." To further this point, the Russian military have been making a symbolic gesture by shelling ISIS with bombs that have "For Paris!" written on them.
Aleksei Pushkov, the Head of the Foreign Affairs committee of the State Duma, stated several days prior to Hollande's visit to Moscow that "there will be no united coalition in the near future as long at the U.S. is strongly against it." He did, however, add that Moscow and Paris can form an "informal coalition" of their own in Syria.
In general, Putin and Hollande's joint press conference on Nov. 26 confirmed Pushkov's viewpoint and summed up the results of the high profile meeting, which amounted not just to a friendly exchange between the two leaders, but also Putin's statement that "Russia and France understand the meaning of the word 'alliance.'" Still, Moscow and Paris have their differences, such as Assad's future and regarding the situation in the Donbas.
Also read: "Obstacles for Russia-West anti-ISIS cooperation after Paris attacks"
Another important aspect of the press conference was that both Putin and Hollande confirmed that they see each other as constructive partners on Syria.
Even though both presidents acknowledged that a general global coalition is currently non-existent, they came to an agreement on combining anti-terrorist efforts, improving intelligence exchange, fostering cooperation between military experts, specifying air strike targets and intensifying the shelling of ISIS positions. As Hollande pointed out, "The only goal that we should all pursue is the fight against ISIS and the destruction of terrorists."
If this message stands true, we can definitely believe that Hollande's recent unofficial visit to Moscow, though unable to produce major results or meet the expectations of those who believed in the creation of a united global coalition, was quite productive.

Entertainment Weekly Mentions "Sci-Fi Romance" PASSENGERS
I was reading an article about Chris Pratt (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) in Entertainment Weekly #1365/1366 and was thrilled to see a sci-fi romance reference:
And right now he's seriously busy. Pratt's toughest juggling act these days is his schedule: First up, he'll be in Louisiana shooting Magnificent Seven, then he'll film the sci-fi romance Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence later this year, followed by Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in London in 2016. (p. 37)
So, like, wow--"sci-fi romance" got a mention in a national U.S. magazine! I'm probably the only cis het woman reading the article who was more excited about the SFR reference than hunky actor Chris Pratt. LOL! How could I not be excited?! That strikes me as pretty major exposure for our beloved li'l ol' genre.
I've mentioned PASSENGERS here before and there doesn't seem to be much new to report, but here are a few more tidbits about this forthcoming film, which will be helmed by Morten Tyldum (THE IMITATION GAME).
Chris Pratt In 'Passengers' Talk At Sony
Chris Pratt is in talks to star in Passengers, and the studio wants Jennifer Lawrence to pair with him. Our sister publication Variety revealed Lawrence, thought I'm told this is more a wish than reality at this point. This is the Jon Spaihts-scripted science fiction love story that will be directed by The Imitation Game's Morten Tyldum. Sony Pictures has been courting Pratt for weeks, and now they are in the throes of making a deal.
This is a big sci-fi love story, set in deep space, and it's a major studio priority being overseen by production president Michael De Luca and produced by Original Films' Neal Moritz and Ori Marmur and Michael Maher for Start Media and Stephen Hamel of Company Films.
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt make advance booking for Passengers
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are in early talks to take the lead role in Passengers, the science fiction romance linked to the Oscar-nominated Norwegian director of The Imitation Game, Morten Tyldum.
The following The Hollywood Reporter article is more insider-based as it discusses details like star salaries and deal points, but it reflects just how new of an idea SFR is in Tinseltown. Even if Tyldum knows what to do with the story, Sony might not know how to best position the film:
Jennifer Lawrence's Salary Drama: $20M 'Passengers' Pay Tests Sony
Rothman found Passengers awaiting his green light when he replaced Amy Pascal in the top job at the studio in late February. And while the project has obvious attractions — with red-hot Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt set to star in the interstellar love story and Morten Tyldum, who scored an Oscar nomination for directing The Imitation Game, on board — it hardly is an obvious yes: talent getting top dollar for an original idea with special effects that Rothman is said to see as a marketing challenge and that doesn't appear to have franchise potential. Not necessarily an easy call for an executive expected to bring restraint to a studio that, under Pascal, long was known for its generosity to talent.
Parts of the above paragraph reflects SFR's ongoing visibility and marketing challenges: "…interstellar love story… hardly is an obvious yes…an original idea…marketing challenge…doesn't appear to have franchise potential." If PASSENGERS finds a way to overcome those challenges, though, might it nudge open the door for future SFR films? My fingers are crossed!

BUHARI TO ATTEND 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DEBATE YES OR NO?


The world is increasingly becoming mobilized with each passing year, and it is critical that construction firms recognize the importance of implementing various mobile construction technologies in their day-to-day processes. Furthermore, the construction industry is evolving every year, meaning that companies have to implement technology in the constantly changing industry. Using mobile tools in your company offers you an integrated solution for improving how you run your business across various areas, while ensuring that you keep up with your competitors in the industry.
While the construction industry is generally reluctant in embracing the benefits of IT, builders are now aware that they need to collaborate closely with their IT-savvy colleagues like engineers and architects. Consequently, laptops and handheld devices are becoming popular in the mayhem of building sites, alongside mud and hard hats. Apart from implementing innovative building technologies, construction companies should be implementing mobile technology for the following benefits.
Using paper forms and the manual processes usually leads to numerous errors that can be extremely costly to running your business. Maintaining physical paperwork is time-consuming, can sometimes be impossible to read and will often get lost in the process of carrying out business. This leads to miscommunication, payroll mistakes, project delays and numerous other issues.
Using mobile technology will help reduce these errors by streamlining all your different processes under one umbrella. Your workers will submit their hours directly from the field, voiding payroll mistakes. Plus, they will directly communicate with their team members, helping them finish their assigned tasks efficiently.
Using mobile technology helps you get accurate documentation from the field, meaning you have lower chances of getting into legal trouble. For instance, an extremely critical component in the construction industry is safety inspections, but paper forms cannot be used to verify the specific time and place they were done. This is likely to put your firm at risk of various liability problems.
Once you implement mobile technology, you can solve such issues and provide validated date and time stamps, as well as collection of digital signatures. This offers you peace of mind that safety inspections, for instance, are completed efficiently and accurately. Should any disputes arise, this documentation will help settle any potential legal issues or action.
Using GPS tracking technology will help you find out where field technicians are at any time of the day. Accountability out in the field can sometimes be a problem since back office managers do not know what tasks their workers are involved in. GPS tracking will offer your project managers the ability to see real-time location, allowing them to see exactly how much time is spent on various construction sites, increasing worker accountability.
Using mobile apps for documentation and communication purposes helps improve the ability for your workers to work on the go. If you are constantly moving, your field workers will find it easier to document their work and communicate. As a result, there is less paperwork to worry about – plus, no more lost notes! – and they can focus better on the job at hand.
Lastly, you can use online resources like the Oklahoma Secretary of State Corporation Search to find out more information on any business entity. This helps in streamlining your business processes. Implementing a fully automated and integrated mobile construction software solution will help your company become even more efficient; leading to improved profitability.
If your construction company is lacking in organization, experiencing reduced productivity or you need to increase your profit margins, an automated construction tech solution is what you require.

Starve Parasites, Starve: Federal Workers Turn to GoFundMe as Government Shutdown Wears On
Subject: Starve Parasites, Starve: Federal Workers Turn to GoFundMe as Government Shutdown Wears On Sun Jan 06, 2019 12:03 am
As the government shutdown drags into its 12th day, and nearly 800,000 federal employees across the country don't know when their next paycheck will arrive, some have turned to the crowdsourcing website GoFunMe, asking strangers for assistance during their financial uncertainty.
Julie Burr, a single mom and contracted government worker from Kansas City, Missouri, created a GoFundMe page two days after Christmas asking the public for help. "I'm losing pay every day that this government shutdown continues," Burr wrote. "I've taken on extra shifts at my 2nd job but it isn't going to pay rent and all my bills... I'm in panic mode right now."
The GoFunMe website currently has over 1,000 results for pages regarding the government shutdown. The majority of federal workers who've posted pages on the site are asking for amounts ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Most of the pages have yet to receive any donations.
One GoFundMe posted by Eddie Brown, a member of the military from Colorado Springs, Colorado, asked for $1,500 but has so far received $100. "Been in the Military for over 17 years seen a government shutdown once or twice. I continue to work for free, bills are still due at normal time and most importantly i need to keep a roof over my families head." Brown wrote. "... Looking for a way to come up with $1500 monthly to keep the lights on and my family off the streets."
Leo, a tax examiner for the IRS in Ohio who did not use his full name because he's not permitted to speak about his job with the media, said he can't pick up his $200 insulin prescription because he doesn't know when his next paycheck will come, CNBC reports.
Is it too soon to set up a gofundme for me and my mom? This government shutdown ain't no joke. Trying to support us on a teacher salary is though. #ImpeachTrump

President Trump has refused to reopen the government unless Congress agrees to a budget that includes funding for a wall along the U.S. Mexico border. At a press conference on Friday Trump told reporters he was "proud" of the partial government shutdown and confirmed that it could last for "months or even years." On Saturday, talks led by Vice President Mike Pence ended without a deal and will resume on Sunday.
I don't care that most of the workers not getting paid are Democrats, I want to stop the Shutdown as soon as we are in agreement on Strong Border Security! I am in the White House ready to go, where are the Dems?
Some 420,000 employees who are considered "essential" are required to continue working without pay throughout the shutdown. Another 380,000 "non-essential" employees have been ordered to stay home.
Essential workers include some service members. The Coast Guard is the only branch of the military directly affected by the partial shutdown. Since the Coast Guard is funded through the Department of Homeland Security its appropriations have yet to be signed into law, while the other military branches receive their money through Department of Defense appropriations, which were signed into law in September.
Kayla, the wife of a Coast Guard member, spoke to Anderson Cooper on Friday about the stress her family has dealt with as the shutdown crawls into its third week. Kayla told Cooper she has been forced to ask creditors to push back bills, and was even considering returning her son's Christmas gifts in an effort to make ends meet.
Federal agencies were instructed to hold off on instituting pay raises for Trump administration officials during the shutdown. The directive was issued Friday by Margaret Weichert, acting director of the Office of Personnel Management, who wrote the office "believes it would be prudent for agencies to continue to pay these senior political officials at the frozen rate until appropriations legislation is enacted that would clarify the status of the freeze."
Trump announced in August of last year that he would nix an automatic pay raise for federal workers because of the "nation's fiscal situation," reneging on an anticipated raise to 1.8 million workers. Trump has said he believes that raises should be based on performance, instead of the "across-the-board" increases currently in place.

The Heartbreaks – Funtimes | Album Review
Haven't reviewed an album in a while, so I thought I'd do one that's a bit out the blue, one I don't think I would've listened to if I had to choose the album of my own back. I got the album free while I was doing work at experience at Kerrang! Radio,
Bloke:You did work experience at Kerrang?
Me:Yeah it was nothing
Bloke:Seriously was it good?
Me:Yeah, it was brilliant learnt some stuff and got some free CD's.
Anyway, I'm glad I got the album from Kerrang! because I wouldn't of got it myself, partly because I wouldn't part with the money and partly because I've barely heard of this band and the lead singer looks a bit odd/ugly/strange….we'll get on to that.
When I first had a quick listen, practically a minute of each song with my mate we agreed that his voice was too much, It was too winey and the lyrics were a bit cheesy at times, then we agreed that my girlfriend would like this album and this band because of the whole Luke Pritchard thing.
If I was naive, this where my research would stop, but luckily I wasn't about this and I decided to listen to the whole album again. Obviously I was playing FIFA while I was listening to the album, and it was then where I had a change of heart for this album and for this band. Yes he's winey and his voice is a bit weird, and the lyrics are cheesy a times, but they're okay songs. Also I would like to add that they are very catchy, took me about a week to get one song out my head, it's called 'Delay,Delay', you'll know when you listen to it, if you listen, I suspect you won't because we're busy.
One of the elements I like about this band is that the guitar sounds very Johnny Marr-ish (don't know who is? look him up he's brilliant), if you catch my drift, and I like that basically because it sounds Johnny Marr-ish, with the jangly guitar. I also got a connotation of Morrissey when I heard him sing, not saying he's anywhere near as good, just saying he sounds Morrissey-ish because he's got a totally different voice to anyone I've heard of. So they're Smiths fans I imagine, and I also think they're Pulp fans because, every know and then he'll say something at the end of his singing, like Jarvis does quite often e.g. 'I'll see what I can do' in Pulp- Common People.
The lead singer is Matthew Whitehouse, the lead singer, now have a look and I hope you'll get what I mean when I say he's weird and a bit strange. Just thought I'd put this her, simply just because.
A very catchy, bouncy and happy album which I'll probably listen to more when the summer comes and it's got more of a summer feel. I'm yet to learn all of the songs, but the more I listen to it the more catchy it becomes, the more I like it and the more I listen to it, a viscous circle.
If you're a fan of Morrissey, The Smiths, Pulp, I suggest you should listen to this because it's up you're street and if you don't like it, keep giving a chance.
Here's the tune 'Delay, Delay', tell me it's not catchy. Right off to the bank.

This rankings system was developed for the INF by statistician David Kendix.
The first list was published on 11 February 2008. The latest list has been updated on 1st July 2019 and includes matches up to this date. The ranking list relates to senior teams of member countries that are playing regular international test matches. To find out more about how the system works read below and click here for Frequently Asked Questions.
A rating is a measure of the average performance of a team over a series of matches. Each team earns a certain number of points from each international match. Their rating is the total number of points earned divided by the number of matches played. The team with the highest rating is ranked first in the world. The next highest rating is ranked second and so on.
Weighting Matches played a long time ago are a poorer guide to current form than more recent results. Therefore past results are weighted, giving a lower weighting to earlier results. For the purposes of this list, matches played since July 2018 currently have a full weighting (100%). Matches played in the two previous years (July 2016-June 2018) have a weighting of 50%. Earlier matches are not directly included in the ratings at all.
Each July, the oldest year of results will drop out of the ratings and the weightings redistributed. This is the one annual occasion when the rankings list could alter other than through a match being played.
The number of points earned by a team for any match depends on two factors. The result (won, tied or lost) and the opponent against whom the result was achieved. The higher an opponent's rating the more points are earned for beating them.
If a team wins a match they will earn 50 points more than their opponent's rating. But if they lose, they will earn 50 points less than their opponent's rating. Worked numerical examples appear in the Frequently Asked Questions.
Rating Period:
It is not meaningful for a team to claim a world ranking if they have only played a small number of matches. As soon as a team has played eight International test matches over the rating period then they will have earned an official world ranking. If a team has played fewer than eight matches, they will still have a rating, but without a corresponding ranking. To have a ranking the team must have played at least 2 games against a rated team.
The following teams currently have a rating in the system and could become ranked once they have played 8 matches:
The INF World Rankings were reviewed at the INF Board Meeting in June 2012, with David Kendix, Statistician, who was retained by the INF to develop the ranking methodology in 2007.
Following a detailed discussion the Board was satisfied that we have a robust and reliable rankings system that presents a true reflection of the quality and standing of the performances of international teams and that this system can be used with confidence for qualification purposes.

Brain Swelling Often Fatal – New Medical Treatment May Help
Brooks Schuelke, Esq.
Schuelke Law PLLC
Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) March 19, 2020 – One of the most severe complications of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is brain swelling, caused by an inflammatory reaction. Brain swelling can result in severe secondary damage that may end in death. However, a new medical discovery may change the survival chances of those with TBIs.
Traumatic brain injuries are common, with more than 2.5 million people in the United States being affected each year. This does not include military personnel overseas who have sustained a TBI in the wake of explosions.
No treatment exists for brain swelling. Recently, Northwestern Medicine scientists have been able to significantly reduce the swelling and damage incurred after a TBI by injecting nanoparticles into the bloodstream in under two hours from the time of the injury.
The research paper's senior author, Dr. Jack Kessler, indicates that, "The results are vastly better than we predicted." "We predict this may provide the first real and practical treatment for people with a significant brain injury." The study was published on January 22, 2020, in the Annals of Neurology.
The study shows if injected as soon as possible after a TBI, either in the field or in the E.R., the nanoparticles help prevent secondary damage.
The particles perform their work by acting as a decoy to distract immune cells from flooding into the brain, resulting in more damage. The particles do not contain any drugs or ingredients and are referred to as immune modifying nanoparticles (IMPS).
White blood cells, in a TBI patient's body try to clean up damaged brain cells and are tricked into seeing the IMPS as invaders and capture them instead. This means the monocytes are not present in the brain to cause brain swelling.
"This research might be good news for anyone at risk for a TBI, like contact sport athletes, motorcycle accident survivors, trucking accident victims and others with head trauma," said Austin traumatic brain injury attorney, Brooks Schuelke.
Plans for a clinical trial are underway.

SEC sets conference football attendance mark
Bowl game attendance dipped slightly
February 29, 2016 1:06pm Greg Johnson
The Southeastern Conference drew an average of 78,630 fans per home game during the 2015 football season to set an all-time conference attendance record.
It marked the 18th consecutive season in which the SEC led the nation in average football attendance, and the average surpassed the previous record of 77,694 that was set in 2014. The SEC drew more than 7.7 million fans to its games in 2015.
The Big Ten (66,008), Big 12 (57,347) Pac-12 (51,880) and Atlantic Coast (49,033) conferences rounded out the top five conferences in attendance.
The average attendance in all Football Bowl Subdivision games, however, dropped slightly to 43,933 when compared to the average attendance of 44,603 in 2014.
Division I FBS Attendance Leaders (Average)
1. Michigan 110,168
2. Ohio State 107,244
3. Texas A&M 103,622
4. LSU 102,004
5. Alabama 101,112
6. Tennessee 100,584
7. Penn State 99,799
8. Georgia 92,746
9. Florida 90,065
10. Texas 90,035
Michigan led the nation in average attendance with 110,168 fans entering the turnstiles for their seven home games. The Wolverines have led the nation in individual average game attendance for all but one year since 1974 – in 2014, Ohio State (106,296) and Texas A&M (105,123) surpassed them.
Other football attendance highlights
More than 1.7 million fans attended bowl games last season, an average of 43,817 per game. That represents a decline of 555 fans per game when compared to 2014.
The total attendance for the Division I Football Championship Subdivision tournament was 258,066 for an average of 11,220 fans over 23 games. The Division II tournament drew 111,853 fans for an average of 4,143 over 27 games. And the Division III tournament attracted 66,834 for an average of 2,156 over 31 games.
The overall attendance for NCAA football games in all three divisions dropped to 49,057,966 in 2015. That total declined 546,416 from the previous year.
Grand Valley State led Division II in home attendance, drawing 74,187 fans for an average of 12,365 per game.
Saint John's (Minnesota) led Division III in attendance at 53,372 fans for an average of 7,625 per game.
Temple showed the largest gain in attendance during the 2015 season. The Owls played in front of an average home crowd of 44,159, an increase of 20,789 per game.

Auction for the first copy off the press of Guy Gavriel Kay's UNDER HEAVEN
Publié par Patrick on Thursday, March 18, 2010
This from a press release from Penguin Group (Canada):
Toronto – March 18, 2010 To celebrate the worldwide launch of international bestseller Guy Gavriel Kay's much anticipated new novel Under Heaven, Penguin Group (Canada) is auctioning the first book off the press anywhere in the world, autographed by the author. Signed and verified by the printer and the publisher, this first copy includes a product identification slip and letter from the printing press identifying the book as the first copy printed in Canada. The auction begins March 18, 2010 on eBay, and closes March 25, 2010.
All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Indigo Books & Music, Inc.'s Love of Reading Fund. The fund directly supports high-needs elementary school literacy programs across Canada. Guy Gavriel Kay will personally match the winning bid to a maximum of $1000 (CDN). Additionally, Penguin Canada will match the winning bid to a maximum of $500 (CDN).
Under Heaven will go on-sale in Canada on April 3. Inspired by the glory of Tang Dynasty China in the eighth century, Guy Gavriel Kay melds history and the fantastic into something both powerful and emotionally compelling. Under Heaven is a novel on the grandest narrative scale, encompassing the intimate details of individual lives in an unforgettable time and place.
You can find the auction here.
I'm about a third into Under Heaven (Canada, USA, Europe) and I'm really enjoying it thus far. It's too early to tell, of course, but if the novel lives up to its potential it could well be one of Kay's signature works.
I'm 1/3 of the way into Lions of Al-Rassan, and it is so very good. I think he may be one of the most under-appreciated authors writing today.
Dovile said...
He's my favorite author, so I can't wait to read this one. 'Tigana' was my very first G.G. Kay's book, and it got me hooked and hungry for more.

So far you only know af, bc, de, and hl as registers. Sometimes you probably run out of registers to use. There are several others you can work with too but they have their limits.
The first command sets the text to white on black and the second line resets it to the normal black on white. You can use iy and ix to make your own tables and arrays.
Do the same thing when you're done using them to get the original register values back.
Other Registers you can use are the i and r registers. The i register is used with interrupts. It just holds the higher byte of the address that should be jumped to when an Interrupt occurs. The r register is called the Memory Refresh Register. It is incremented after each instruction (sometimes twice) executed by the processor. Bit 7 is never set though, so it has a maximum value of 127, I don't know why.
It is useful for low-quality random number routines but if you use it a lot in a row, your numbers won't be so random because they will use, for example, 1 and then use 2 and then use 3 and so on. Here's an OK random number generator you can use that will have the above problem if used several times in a row. It will return a number between 1 and 16.

Baby Steps Towards Long Lasting Change
If you've ever seen What About Bob you'll understand the title behind this post. Bob, played by Bill Murray, is a man who is terrorized by fear. His irrational fears prevent him from living a normal life and taking any risks. Bob meets with a doctor who encourages him to try small things; baby steps. Bob takes this advice to heart and decides to vocalise his baby steps in everything he does: "Baby steps onto the elevator…Baby steps onto the bus." He can't imagine doing something big but he is able to push himself one tiny step at a time.
Can anyone relate to the protagonist of this story? I know I can. Sometimes it is beyond difficult to try new things and make changes, even ones we really want to. We want to eat better but when we say no sugar we eventually cave and give into our long lasting habits. We decide to exercise every day but fall off the band wagon in less than a week. Not only do we fail to do these massive lifestyle changes but we become angry with ourselves for not being strong enough to do what we set out to do.
How do we combat this discouraging cycle?
With baby steps.
The greatest things in life take time. Rome was not conquered in a day. Long lasting, true, powerful changes take time.
Remember also that we are holistic beings. What we eat effects how we exercise, which effects our mood, which effects our relationships with others, which effects what we think about…and so on and so forth.
If you want to change the way you look you need to change the way you see yourself. If you want to change who you are you need to start caring more about others than just yourself.
Make small goals and stick with them. Once you've done that, challenge yourself with a new goal. You'll be amazed at what you can do if you start small and make little changes.
So…what baby step are you going to take to get on the bus?

The Scientific Program for the 33rd APAO Congress has now been finalized. Here's a look at a few of this year's unique sessions.
Featuring speeches and presentations by leaders in ophthalmology from APAO and beyond, the Nakajima Memorial Symposium will honor the memory of APAO's former President and longest-serving Secretary-General Prof. Akira Nakajima of Japan. Find out more about Prof. Nakajima's life and work here.
New this year, the Scientific Program at APAO 2018 will feature an interactive panel discussion among leading experts in the glaucoma and retina subspecialties. TheInterdisciplinary Discussion: Glaucoma and Retinal Diseases symposium will be chaired by Dr. Suber Huang of the United States, charter member of the Retina Hall of Fame, and Prof. Xiulan Zhang of China, who was listed as one of the 100 most influential people in ophthalmology in 2014.
Back by popular demand, the Ophthalmic Premier League video symposium will feature four teams (Accommodators, Multifocal, Divide and Conquer, Capsular Bag), who will present their challenging and complicated cataract cases as they compete for glory. Don't miss this line-up featuring experts from the Asia-Pacific and around the world.
Despite covering a rather small area, Hong Kong has no shortage of restaurants and dining opportunities. As an international city of commerce and trade, it features cuisines from around the world, but there are many delicious local delicacies as well.
One of the most famous Cantonese meals is dim sum, which means "touch your heart." Typically eaten as breakfast or lunch, dim sum involves a variety of small dishes meant for sharing. The most popular include "haa gau" (shrimp dumplings), "siu mai" (shrimp and pork dumplings) and "cha siu bao" (barbequed pork buns).
In the winter, though the weather is not usually too cold, Hong Kong people like to go for hot pot. At a hot pot restaurant, diners cook their own meat, vegetables and noodles in a pot of stock or soup base at their table. This makes for both an entertaining and warming experience.
Other popular types of restaurants in Hong Kong include dai pai dongs, which often comprise open-air stalls along a small street, and cha chaan tengs, local diners where a unique mix of Chinese and Western cuisine is available. Hong Kong is also known for its street food, including curry fish balls, stinky tofu and crispy egg puffs.
Every year, the scientific program of the APAO Congress features symposiums organized by ophthalmic societies from the Asia-Pacific region, including many APAO Subspecialty Member Societies. Our thanks to the following societies for their generous support of the 2018 APAO Congress in Hong Kong.
● The Academy of Asia-Pacific Professors of Ophthalmology (AAPPO) is committed to assisting in the academic development in ophthalmology in the Asia-Pacific region.
● The Asia Cornea Society (ACS) is spurred by a common vision amongst corneal subspecialists and researchers throughout Asia to foster the exchange of knowledge and information on clinical, educational and research aspects of the corneal subspecialty with particular focus and relevance to Asian corneal diseases.
● The Asian Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (ASNOS) was founded in 2002 and holds scientific meetings every two years with a unique clinicopathologic case presentation conference in the style of the Frank B. Walsh Society Meeting, the "Walsh-in-Asia," to promote and contribute to the development of neuro-ophthalmology in Asian countries.
● The mission of the Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Society (APGS) is to promote excellence in the diagnosis and care of patients with glaucoma of all types at both individual and community levels.
● The Asia-Pacific Society of Ocular Oncology and Pathology (APSOOP) works to engage, advance and further the research, study, education, academic exchanges of knowledge relevant to ocular oncology and pathology.
● The Asia-Pacific Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (APSOPRS) continuously supports efforts to provide the highest level oculoplastic treatment to all persons.
● The Asia Pacific Ophthalmic Trauma Society (APOTS), a new APAO Associate Member, aims to build a network and team of eye care professionals with special interest in ocular trauma to advance the clinical care, science and research in ocular trauma.
● The goals of the Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Paediatric Ophthalmology Society (APSPOS) are to improve the development of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus in the Asia-Pacific region and to provide a platform for exchange of knowledge and skills in this subspecialty.
● The main objective of the Asia-Pacific Vitreo-retina Society (APVRS) is to engage, advance and further the research, study, education, academic exchanges of knowledge relevant to vitreoretinal diseases.
A total of 5 new APAO member societies will be sending official representatives to the APAO Congress for the first time at APAO 2018 in Hong Kong. In this newsletter, we feature the Asia-Pacific Ophthalmic Trauma Society (APOTS), a new APAO Associate Member Society.
Informally formed in March 2011, APOTS aims to encourage dialogue and collaboration between relevant practitioners working in the Asian Subcontinent and along the Pacific Basin. Currently, Prof. S. Natarajan is president of APOTS and he will also represent the society on the APAO Council. He provided the following thoughts about joining APAO 2018.
For shopping enthusiasts, Hong Kong is truly a paradise, with countless shopping malls and designer boutiques. The city is also home to several computer centers offering all types of electronic goods. Hong Kong's many street markets offer visitors another unique shopping experience.
For clothes, accessories and souvenirs, check out Stanley Market in the Southern District or Ladies' Market in Mong Kok in the afternoon. Similar items can be found at Temple Street Night Market in Jordan, which opens later in the day, though it also features popular outdoor restaurants, Chinese fortune tellers and karaoke.
Located near Temple Street is the Jade Market, two buildings that are home to countless stalls selling jade, pearls and many other types of semi-precious stones. Shoppers can also find mahjong sets, chess boards and cloisonné trinkets for sale here.
The Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and the Flower Market are both located in Prince Edward. Although they sell items mainly for residents rather than tourists, they are both worth a visit. With beautiful tropical flowers of many varieties and birds of all kinds, these markets have a wonderful atmosphere of unique sights and sounds.
No matter where you choose to shop in Hong Kong, don't forget to bring along some Hong Kong dollars, though Chinese renminbi may be accepted at some locations. And when shopping in the markets, don't forget to bargain with the vendors to get a better price!
A total of 5 new APAO member societies will be sending official representatives to the APAO Congress for the first time at APAO 2018 in Hong Kong. In this newsletter, we feature the Lao Ophthalmological Society (LOS) and the Pacific Eye-Care Society (PacEYES), two new region-based APAO Associate Members.
Established in 2006, LOS is currently under the direction of Prof. Dr. Vithoune Visonnavong (pictured) as president, Dr. Khamphoua Southisombath as vice president and Dr. Phetsamone Indara as secretary. LOS is a member of the Asian Ophthalmology Society (AOS) and the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO).
PacEYES is unique because its members reside in several different island nations in the Pacific, but the society is based in Fiji. Dr. Elenoa Matoto-Raikabakaba was recently elected as the new PacEYES president.
This year, the annual APAO Congress is lucky to have not one, but two local co-hosts. Read on to learn more about these two important ophthalmic organizations in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Ophthalmological Society (HKOS) was established with the objectives to maintain and upgrade the quality of eye care in Hong Kong and to foster brotherhood among eye care professionals serving the public in Hong Kong. As an APAO member society, HKOS is represented by Dr. Dexter Leung on the APAO Council.
The primary role of the College of Ophthalmologists of Hong Kong (COHK) is to set and maintain professional standards to ensure the safety of patients and to provide them with the best possible medical care. This is achieved through structured training, examinations, continuous medical education and by influencing the healthcare policy in Hong Kong.
Nationals of many countries can travel to Hong Kong without a visa. However, for other individuals a visa may be required. The Hong Kong immigration department has special arrangements for Mainland Chinese passport holders as well as those from Chinese Taipei.
The APAO Secretariat encourages anyone who requires a visa to enter Hong Kong to apply at their earliest convenience to avoid any last-minute delays or complications. Delegates who have registered for the APAO Congress can generate an invitation letter for visa application purposes after logging in to the Congress system.
For a complete list of countries and their respective entry requirements, please visit http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/visit-transit/visit-visa-entry-permit.html.
This year, Congress organizers are pleased to partner with three international pediatric ophthalmic societies on the pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus subspecialty area of the scientific program. Our thanks to the following societies for their generous support of the 2018 APAO Congress in Hong Kong.
The mission of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) is to advance the quality of children's eye care, support the training of pediatric ophthalmologists, support research activities in pediatric ophthalmology and advance the care of adults with strabismus. Membership in AAPOS comprises several different categories, including 906 active/charter members and 329 international members. Currently, Dr. Derek T. Sprunger is president of AAPOS.
The International Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus Council (IPOSC) works to preserve and restore eye health and enhance visual function in children, and ocular alignment and binocularity in children and adults throughout the world. Prof. Frank Martin, who is also an APAO Council Member and Scientific Coordinator for APAO 2018, is the current IPOSC president.
The goal of the World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (WSPOS) is enhancing lives of children with eye disorders and those with strabismus throughout the world. The society is made up of 18 chapters in different countries around the world, including Bangladesh, Mongolia, Nepal and Sri Lanka in the Asia-Pacific region. WSPOS is governed by an Executive Bureau of 5 directors.
A total of 5 new APAO member societies will be sending official representatives to the APAO Congress for the first time at APAO 2018 in Hong Kong. In this issue, we feature the Myanmar Ophthalmological Society (MOS), one of APAO's new National Member Societies.
Established in 1957, MOS now organizes the Myanmar Ophthalmological Conference annually and convenes a Mid-Year Academic Meeting every 2 years. At present, MOS membership includes 345 ophthalmologists. Prof. Chaw Chaw Khaing is the current president of MOS, and she will also serve as the society's Regional Secretary on the APAO Council.


Well, thanks to clueless New York Times writer Russell Fausset (rhymes with "Faucet"), we now all about about neo Nazi Tony Hovater and his wife Maria.
Fausset is drawing outrage from all over the place for his story "A Voice of Hate in America's Heartland." He portrays Tony and Maria as a cool couple who like "Seinfeld," shop at Target, eat at Panera bread.
Only, of course, Tony hates Jews. He sells swastikas on his website for $20. Fausset leaves with the impression that is sooo enterprising. And ironic.
In fact, it's really stupid of the New York Times to have published an article that comes off with no irony. It's lots of fun for Twitter-ers, and the Atlantic has already run a parody, but to a huge number of people this piece normalizes anti-Semitism, racism, and white supremacy.
Dean Baquet, editor of the New York Times, this didn't work. It's disgusting. Talk about alienating your base.

San Proclo (fallecido el 24 de julio de 446) fue Patriarca de Constantinopla, de 434 a 446. Fue secretario de San Juan Crisóstomo. Se conservan de él 25 sermones. Durante su episcopado se empezó a usar el canto del Trisagio. Su fiesta se celebra el 24 de octubre.

Proclo de Constantinopla trabajó enérgicamente en la extinción de los últimos restos del cisma oriental. Una de sus "Homilías" constituye un elogio acabado de la Virgen María y de su maternidad divina. Fue considerado un modelo de prelado. Era bondadoso con todos, pues estaba convencido de que la bondad sirve mejor que la severidad a la causa de la verdad.
