Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder, Salifu Ibrahim has described as "normal" for an exceptional player to be at the mercy of rough tackles.
The 20-year-old has become the eye of Hearts of Oak's midfield since joining them on a 3-year deal from Techiman Eleven Wonders.
Having settled down well with the capital based club, he has been at the mercy of hard tackling defenders and midfielders.
He was stretchered off the field in the Phobians' 2-0 win against Medeama in match day 29 at the Accra Sports Stadium following an obnoxious high foot to his groin.
Salifu Ibrahim however believes such tackles are common in games.
"Those things [rough tackles] are normal [matches].
"This is the time for me to work hard.
"Because it's normal and it [rough tackles] will happen in games.
"So this is the time for me to work hard." Salifu Ibrahim told Africa-foot.com.
Salifu Ibrahim has collected eight man-of-the-match awards this season.
He claimed three of those awards while at Eleven Wonders before gathering five with the 20-time champions.
Ibrahim has scored three goals, providing seven assists this season.

Indian men's team's campaign at the 2022 ITTF World Team Championships Finals came to a close in the main draw round of 16 on Thursday, as they lost against top seeds China in Chengdu.
Having qualified as one of the two best third-placed teams in the group stages, India faced a stern test against the Chinese squad comprising of the world's two best male paddlers.
First up, Harmeet Desai went up against world No 1 Fan Zhendong. The Indian made a good effort in the second game, but Zhendong won 11-2, 11-9, 11-5.
Then, India's no 1 Sathiyan Gnanasekaran was up against the legendary Ma Long, the current world No 2 and defending Olympic champion. Sathiyan made a superb start to the match, going toe to toe with Ma Long, saving four game points in the opener before eventually dropping it 12-14. The second game saw good rallies too but Ma Long found his groove and soon it was over in three games, with the Chinese star winning 14-12, 11-5, 11-0.
The third game pitted two left-handers against each other. India's Manush Shah was up against the highly-rated Wang Chuqin. The world No 11 from China won 11-4, 11-5, 11-6.
In the group stages, the Indians had a good run in the 'Group of Death', finishing level on points with second seeds Germany and France. India had defeated Germany in their match and won two more ties but the defeat against France pushed them to third place and a tough draw to face China.
Earlier, in the women's round of 16 on Wednesday, Manika Batra and Co lost 0-3 against Chinese Taipei.

Overall Satisfaction with SQL Server Integration Services
SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that we use to execute a wide range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a fast & flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, loading, and transformation like cleaning, aggregating, merging data, etc. It makes it easy to move data from one database to another database. SSIS can extract data from a wide variety of sources like SQL Server databases, Excel files, Oracle and DB2 databases, etc.
- Offers real-time, message-based capabilities
- Tight integration with SQL Server and visual studio
- Ease and speed of implementation
- Standardized data integration
- Sometimes create issues in non-windows environments.
- SSIS lacks support for alternative data integration styles.
- Problematic integration with other products.
- Reduce data migration task to half of time.
- Additional investment to integrate with other company tools.
We just selected SSIS because we use SQL Server Management System (SSMS) to manage our database. As SSIS is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server there are no problems with integration and everything works perfectly. In addition, we don't have to learn how to use another system to perform database tasks and everything is done in the same place. Just like it was an extension of our SSMS.
Do you think SQL Server Integration Services delivers good value for the price?
Are you happy with SQL Server Integration Services's feature set?
Did SQL Server Integration Services live up to sales and marketing promises?
I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Spike Lee took a break from basking in the positive reviews for his new film Da 5 Bloods to call out the treatment his fellow director Woody Allen has received.
During an appearance Saturday on New York station WOR's In The Morning show, Lee, 63, addressed the Manhattan director as his 'friend' and talked up his directing talents, while criticizing the concept of cancel culture, according to The Wrap.
Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow accused him of molesting her in 1992 when she was seven, and the allegations received renewed public attention beginning in 2014.
Big fan: Spike Lee, 63, defended his 'friend' Woody Allen Saturday on WOR's In The Morning, calling him a 'great, great filmmaker' and criticizing 'this cancel thing'; pictured in January
Lee provided a full-throated endorsement of Allen, 84, and his art while on the radio show.
'I'd just like to say Woody Allen is a great, great filmmaker and this cancel thing is not just Woody,' he told the hosts Len Berman and Michael Riedel.
'When we look back on it we are going to see that — short of killing somebody — I don't know you just erase someone like they never existed.'
The Do The Right Thing director added: 'Woody is a friend of mine, a fellow Knick fan, and I know he's going through it right now.'
Defense: The Do The Right Thing director said, 'Woody is a friend of mine, a fellow Knick fan, and I know he's going through it right now.' He also said people shouldn't be canceled 'short of killing somebody'; pictured in 2017 with Timothée Chalamet
Following his early career as a comedian, television writer and occasional actor, Allen branded himself a leading man and a director starting in the late 1960s.
He was acclaimed for his comic abilities, as well as his style's absorption of high-brow European art films.
His 1977 classic Annie Hall won four Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Best Actress for Diane Keaton.
Other highlights from his filmography include Manhattan, the Oscar-winning Hannah And Her Sisters and the pitch-black dramedy Crimes And Misdemeanors.
Accusations: Following a prolific career filled with classic films and multiple Oscars, Allen was accused of molesting his seven-year-old adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992; pictured in 2017 with Timothée Chalamet
His theory: In a recent Guardian interview, Allen defended himself and said the allegations were cooked up by his ex partner Mia Farrow after he began a relationship with her then 21-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn; pictured with Previn in June 2019
In an interview with The Guardian from last month, Allen disputed Farrow's allegations, though he adopted a resigned tone.
'I assume that for the rest of my life a large number of people will think I was a predator,' he said, adding, 'Anything I say sounds self-serving and defensive, so it's best if I just go my way and work.'
The Sleeper director contended in the interview and elsewhere that the molestation allegations were cooked up by his ex Mia Farrow, whom he was with from 1980–1992, though they never married and they maintained separate residences throughout the relationship.
Allen began a relationship with Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, who was 21 at the time.
Contrary to popular belief, the director was never an adoptive parent to Previn.
No show: Allen's newest film A Rainy Day In New York stars Chalamet, Selena Gomez and Elle Fanning. Amazon refused to distribute the film in the US; shown in October 2017
The Guardian article references a custody hearing from July 1992, a month before he was alleged to have molested Dylan Farrow, in which Mia Farrow called him a 'child molester.'
Allen and Previn would go on to marry in 1997.
The director's most recent film, A Rainy Day In New York, was completed in 2018, but its distributor Amazon refused to release the film due to the renewed controversy surrounding Allen.
Riding high: Lee has been experiencing a career resurgence after his 2018 film BlacKkKlansman was embraced by critics and viewers and won him an Oscar; pictured in 2019
Lee's film fortunes have been brighter in recent years as he experienced a critical resurgence thanks to the success of his film BlacKkKlansman.
The film earned six Oscar nominations, including Lee's first for directing, and won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay, which went to Lee and his three collaborators.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, his new film, Da 5 Bloods, bypassed its planned theatrical exhibition and was released directly to Netflix on Friday.
The movie is about four Black Vietnam veterans who return to the Southeast Asian country to find the remains of the slain leader, along with a treasure they buried years before, though they'll be forced to confront the trauma they experienced while in combat.
So far, the movie has a sterling 91 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

text: Hi, Jason. Every correction system requires setting a "Target". Obviously Sonarworks' default target must be set too bright. Using Acourate I adjust the high frequency slope of my target using my collection of 50 reference recordings. I don't rest until the center of the reference recordings sounds absolutely right, and the brightest and dullest of them are neither too bright nor too dull. That takes skill, knowledge and experience. Personally I'm not a Sonarworks fan, but I can tell you that if you want to do it yourself, if your room is properly treated, you can accomplish the final EQ with REW and a superb, high resolution equalizer, and lots of experience and training. Or, you can do it yourself with Acourate and Acourate Convolver. If you're curious about that, I recommend to anyone considering what I think is the most transparent-sounding (no sound of its own!) correction system, then look into Mitch Barnett's excellent how-to book:

(This is the second article in a two-part series, by Ibn Warraq. In his first posting Warraq explained how the Saudis failed to remove hate speech from textbooks used in wahabbi-financed Islamic schools in the US – as pointed out in a 2008 report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) and despite promises to comply with human rights standards (ed.).) Murder on the CurriculumIbn Warraq, for rights.noBy 2008 the Saudi government was yet to remove extremist statements from textbooks used in Saudi-financed schools in the United States. USCRIF clearly illustrated the problem in its June 2008 report: "In a twelfth-grade Tafsir (Koranic interpretation) textbook, the authors state that it is permissible for a Muslim to kill an apostate (a convert from Islam), an adulterer, or someone who has murdered a believer intentionally: 'He (praised is He) prohibits killing the soul that God has forbidden (to kill) unless for just cause. …' Just cause is then defined in the text as 'unbelief after belief, adultery, and killing an inviolable believer intentionally.' (Tafsir, Arabic/Sharia, 123)» «A twelfth-grade Tawhid (monotheism) textbook states that '[m]ajor polytheism makes blood and wealth permissible,' which in Islamic legal terms means that a Muslim can take the life and property of someone believed to be guilty of this alleged transgression with impunity. (Tawhid, Arabic/Sharia, 15) Under the Saudi interpretation of Islam, 'major polytheists' include Shi'a and Sufi Muslims, who visit the shrines of their saints to ask for intercession with God on their behalf, as well as Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists.'» «The overt exhortations to violence found in these passages make other statements that promote intolerance troubling even though they do not explicitly call for violent action. These other statements vilify adherents of the Ahmadi, Baha'i, and Jewish religions, as well as of Shi'a Islam. This is despite the fact that the Saudi government is obligated as a member of the United Nations and a state party to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and other relevant treaties to guarantee the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. The statements include the following:'Today, Qadyanis [Ahmadis] are one of the greatest strongholds for spreading aberration, deviation, and heresy in the name of religion, even from within Islamic countries. Thus, the Qadyani [Ahmadi] movement has become a force of destruction and internal corruption today in the Islamic world. …' (Aspects of Muslim Political and Cultural History, Eleventh Grade, Administrative/Social Track, Sharia/Arabic Track, 99) 'It [Baha'ism] is one of the destructive esoteric sects in the modern age. … It has become clear that Babism [the precursor to Baha'ism], Baha'ism, and Qadyanism [Ahmadism] represent wayward forces inside the Islamic world that seek to strike it from within and weaken it. They are colonial pillars in our Islamic countries and among the true obstacles to a renaissance.' (Aspects of Muslim Political and Cultural History, Eleventh Grade, 99-100) 'The cause of the discord: The Jews conspired against Islam and its people. A sly, wicked person who sinfully and deceitfully professed Islam infiltrated (the Muslims). He was 'Abd Allah b. Saba' (from the Jews of Yemen). [___] (the word or words here were obscured by correction fluid, ed.) began spewing his malice and venom against the third of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, Uthman (may God be pleased with him), and falsely accused him.' » (Tawhid, Administrative/Social Sciences Track, 67) Serious concern The USCIRF made several recommendations for the U.S. Department of State :[1] that it make available all textbooks that it has received from the Saudi government, so that their content and compliance with international human rights standards can be assessed; and[2] it should promptly create a formal mechanism to monitor and encourage implementation of the Saudi government's 2006 policies as part of every meeting of the U.S.-Saudi Arabia Strategic Dialogue, and ensure that U.S. representatives to each relevant Working Group of the Strategic Dialogue, after each session, or at least every six months, report the group's findings to Congress. The USCIRF was seriously concerned that the Saudi government was not abiding by the policies it confirmed in 2006 to promote greater religious freedom and tolerance, including the revision of its school textbooks. The texts used at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Washington D.C. – and quoted here – are only one example. Exclusive rights: rights.no, Norway, and sappho.dk, Denmark
Murder on the Curriculum
By 2008 the Saudi government was yet to remove extremist statements from textbooks used in Saudi-financed schools in the United States, writes Ibn Warraq for rights.no.

I had a chance to sit down with some of the folks behind the GlideTV touchpad remote ($150) and SageTV HTPC solutions this afternoon. On the GlideTV front, they've beefed up the Windows and Mac dashboard with an improved onscreen keyboard, more prominence given to favorite destinations, and direct integration with Clicker. Even more impressive is what GlideTV's not quite ready to talk about, but they've been experimenting with different ways to present and consume web content. Definitely something I'll be following up on when the time is right. Speaking of timing, I was hopeful of getting a sneak peak at version 7 of SageTV which features an all-new 3D UI. But we're going to have to wait a bit longer.

With knowledge of academic principles gained from Repin Academy, Vadim Zang moved to the United States in 1992, to learn more about American and European art concepts. While continuing his education, Vadim met many strong painters and went to a number of academies. In early 2000s, Vadim met Mark Westermoe at Associates in Arts, and finding that to be one of the strongest schools at that time, kept attending for Mark's workshops. One of the most productive days in Vadim's experience was painting with great American modern masters; such as Richard Schmidt, Jeremy Lipking, and Steve Huston. With this exposure to various art influences, he greatly improved his skills.
After working as a graphic designer in the early '90s, he later became an art director in the early 2000s. In 2006, while holding his own alla prima painting workshops, he was invited to teach at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art.
In his art, Vadim's brush strokes are guided by first impressions, and he tells a long story with few words.

Usability and Improvement of Existing Alignments: The LOINC-SNOMED CT Case Study
LOINC® and SNOMED CT® are two of the most used biomedical terminology standards to conjointly describe medical laboratory data into patient Electronic Health Records. The institutions owning them entered in a collaboration 4 years ago. The intention was to provide alignments between LOINC® and SNOMED CT® in order to improve query and aggregation of patient data. This work brings input on the LOINC—SNOMED CT alignment effort: (i) we developed algorithms aiding to align LOINC® and SNOMED CT® efficiently and (ii) we demonstrated the benefits of the SNOMED CT® conceptual hierarchy and tests model to query data initially coded in LOINC®.

TEL AVIV & ATLANTA – JUNE 3, 2019 – IRONSCALES, the world's first automated phishing prevention, detection and response platform, today announced that 42% of all email phishing attacks are polymorphic, according to new company research that analyzed the frequency of attack permutations. Over the past 12 months, IRONSCALES identified 11,733 email phishing attacks that underwent at least one permutation. In total, IRONSCALES recognized 52,825 permutations that impacted 209,807 inboxes across the world, reinforcing the ease and frequency at which attackers manipulate and repurpose a message's artifacts to bypass email security tools, such as static protocols & signature-based detections. IRONSCALES' polymorphic attack research findings include:
- 96 attacks underwent between 251-521 permutations
- 293 attacks underwent between 101-250 permutations
- 411 attacks underwent between 51-100 permutations
- 2809 attacks underwent between 11-50 permutations
- 8166 attacks underwent between 2-10 permutations
Understanding Polymorphism Polymorphism occurs when an attacker implements slight but significant and often random changes to an emails' artifacts, such as its content, copy, subject line, sender name or template in conjunction with or after an initial attack has deployed. This strategic approach enables attackers to quickly develop phishing attacks that trick signature-based email security tools that were not built to recognize such modifications to threats; ultimately allowing different versions of the same attack to land undetected in employee inboxes.
For SOC and security teams, defending against polymorphic email phishing attacks remain one of the most time-consuming and burdensome tasks, increasingly complicated by the availability of low-cost phishing kits proliferating on the Dark Web that attackers can use to automatically randomize artifact changes to evade detection. Currently, decentralized and distributed intelligence coupled with non-signature-based email security tools that utilize AI and machine learning to cluster similar attacks together have proven most successful at mitigating polymorphic email phishing threats.
"Polymorphic email phishing threats represent an incredibly difficult challenge for SOC and IT security teams to overcome," said Eyal Benishti, founder and CEO, IRONSCALES. "Just as security personnel think that they may have a phishing threat under control, attackers can augment the artifacts to give the message an entirely new signature, thereby enabling what is for all intents and purposes the same malicious message to bypass the same human and technical controls that might have stopped a previous version of the attack."
Today's news comes just weeks after IRONSCALES revealed the frequency at which the most basic email spoofing attacks were bypassing secure email gateways, DMARC and Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection.
IRONSCALES multi-layered advanced phishing threat protection platform combines technical controls to block as many phishing attacks as possible and end-user controls to help users detect more sophisticated polymorphic attacks at the mailbox-level, while incorporating employees as part of the defense strategy to detect what is missed by technology. Its adaptive platform uniquely combines human intelligence with machine learning and AI to automatically prevent, detect and respond to polymorphic phishing threats and predict future attacks, so if one control fails, there are others to compensate while maintaining an adaptive security architecture.

About IRONSCALES IRONSCALES is the leader in anti-email phishing technologies. Using a multi-layered and automated approach starting at the mailbox-level to prevent, detect and respond to today's sophisticated email phishing attacks, IRONSCALES expedites the time from phishing attack discovery to enterprise-wide remediation, reducing the time from detection to response from hours or days to just seconds or minutes, by significantly reducing the workload on incident responders. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, IRONSCALES was founded by a team of security researchers, IT and penetration testing experts, as well as specialists in the field of effective interactive training, in response to the phishing epidemic that today costs companies millions of dollars annually. It was incubated at the 8200 EISP, the top program for cyber security ventures, founded by alumni of the Israel Defense Forces' elite Intelligence Technology unit.

During Greece's struggle to get out of the acute macroeconomic mayhem brought by the global financial crisis, the bulk of political commentators predicted that socio-economic deprivation would strengthen the ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn party and trigger a neo-fascist moment in Turkey's uneasy neighbor. But as industrial nations of Western Europe fell into the abyss of desperation through xenophobia and Islamophobia via movements like Germany's Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA) after the crisis, Greece turned into an unorthodox and populist anti-status quo option with the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza).
A political economy analysis into the respective rises to power of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in Turkey and Syriza in Greece may reveal crucial similarities as well as profound differences in terms of unique transformation trajectories of Greece and Turkey. As stressed by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu in his recent visit to Athens, both the AK Party and Syriza came to political prominence by raising anti-status quo, progressive arguments at a time when conventional political parties from the center-right and center-left of the political spectrum lost voter confidence. The AK Party's ascendancy to power occurred in a politico-economic milieu in which established political parties were discredited by the electorate following the twin crises in 2000 and 2001. What Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his party promised through clean governance, prudent macroeconomic policies, fiscal discipline, international integration and rapid growth caught the public's imagination.
Moreover, the AK Party's anti-status quo politics meant opposing the monolithic Kemalist definition of the state as the vanguard of authoritarian modernization expanding the social rights of devout Muslims including women wearing headscarves, as well as religious minorities and integrating Kurds and Alevis into the public sphere as equal citizens of a pluralistic society. Being an anti-status quo party also meant eliminating the military and bureaucratic, judicial and business-related sources of tutelage of Turkish politics while following a more autonomous and balanced foreign policy toward the West and the rest. It was the virtuous mix of successful macroeconomic and municipal management, strong local organization and preservation of the anti-status quo stance to further democratization that kept the AK Party in power for over a decade.
The conditions that precipitated Syriza's rise to power in Greece during and after the global financial crisis were similar. Greece's new prime minister and leader of Syriza, Alexis Tsipras, formed a grand coalition by challenging the status quo parties from the center-right and center-left that were discredited by the public for being corrupt and trying to take advantage of European rescue funds. He also challenged the nationalistic bureaucratic-judicial elite core oppressing religious minorities and low income groups, the Orthodox Church that provides legitimacy to the political mechanism and the EU, which is seen as a major cause of the country's troubles. Tsipras, like Erdoğan, is an exceptional orator and very popular leader who could be expected to push for a long tenure in office. He also wants to follow a balanced and autonomous foreign policy, the signs of which came with his refusal to sign the damning EU statement on Russia, his opposition to autocratic leaders in the Middle East and support for greater freedoms for religious minorities in Greece.
But the similarities between the AK Party and Syriza must end here. Syriza is a loose coalition of numerous radical leftist movements whereas the AK Party has been a strong and unified political movement constructed around Erdoğan's leadership. The AK Party stayed loyal to the International Monetary Fund program in the early 2000s in the name of stability whereas Syriza bases its whole economic story on populist redistribution schemes, deletion of the heavy debt burden to the EU and nationaliz

The vegetable I chose is Corn; the scientific name for corn is Zea mays, in Spanish it is
known as Maize. Not all corn are the same in can be found in different colors and varieties.
Yellow and white are the most common colors but there is also blue, pink, black, red and purple.
The taste of corn is really sweet, it tastes best when you put butter and cheese. Corn is one of the
most popular vegetable in the United States. According to some scientist corn originally came
from Mexico nearly 8,000 years ago. Throughout the years corn was introduced to Central and
South America cultures and also to Native American tribes which is the United States. ' But just
as scientists have helped maize to improve and diversify, so maize has helped science to progress
and develop. As an object of study and a subject of experimentation, maize grows at the center of
some of the century's great scientific breakthroughs.' (Werner, 2000).
To be able to grow corn, you must first plant a seed, a stem arises it will grow from 2 to 20
feet long. A plant will start growing, flowers organ begin to develop and then grain kernel. For
the plant to be able to produce corn it needs abundant moisture and warm weather for best
development. When corn is in the process of growing it grows in ears it is also covered in rows
of kernels, it is protected by the corn silk. In the United States, there is three different type of
corn that is grown. Popcorn, sweet corn and field or grain which is the highest one to be grown.
More than ten percent of grain grown in the United Sates is exported as corn products or grain.
And about seventy five percent in the United States is fed to livestock. Annually fifty five to
sixty million acres is harvest for grain production. Corn is planted in spring in the beginning of
April and ends in June and is harvest in October and is finished by November. Some of the crops
are used to make syrup, corn oil, grits, corn flakes, starch and tortilla. Corn can be cooked in
different ways it can be steamed, boiled or roasted.
In most markets corn is available all year around, when you are purchasing corn make sure to
select the corn that is covered with ears and is fresh and free of discoloration to avoid microbial
contamination. You can purchase corn either fresh or frozen, it is better to eat the corn when is
freshly picked because when it is frozen some of nutrients begin to decrease. Once you pick your
corn, store it inside a plastic container or bag, corn on the cob can last up to a year. Kernels can
be frozen for up to three months and corn on the cob can be frozen for up to a year. 'Corn is a
good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, pantothenic acid (B5) and manganese, while relatively
low in calories at 125 per cup of sweet corn at least until you start slathering it with butter.'
(Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter, 2013).
If you eat tortilla it is good because it has low sodium, it is low in calories and it provides fiber
and calcium in less than sixty calories per serving. 'Corn foods have often been accused of being
caloric but a low protein quality provider. Plant providers have developed genotypes with high
lysine and tryptophan, substances that have improved the protein quality and nutritional value of
corn' ( Latino Readers, 2014). One cup of corn contains fiber which lowers the risk of colon
cancer. Fiber is not the only thing making corn good for you it also has foliate. Foliate helps
lower risk of heart attacks and homocysteine levels which it can damage your blood vessels. The
minerals corn contains are Magnesium, Potassium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Calcium.
Corn is rich in phytochemicals helps it protects against chronic diseases and prevents anemia.
The oil from corn also helps control cholesterol levels and prevents cardiovascular disease. Just
remember every time you're eating corn it is helping your body and health by providing minerals
and vitamin. You can cook and create so many dishes with corn like tamales, corn dogs,
popcorn, and tortillas.

A livestream published early Wednesday morning alerted the world to another raid on a pro-democracy news outlet in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong national security police, armed with a search warrant, were pressing to enter the home of Stand News journalist Ronson Chan.
Officers told Chan they were there as part of an investigation related to charges of conspiring to publish seditious content and told the journalist to stop recording.
Later in the day, authorities announced that six people had been arrested, and Stand News announced via Facebook that the news website would "immediately cease to operate."
Chan, deputy assignment editor at Stand News and chair of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, described the closure as a "sad day" when he spoke with reporters. He also posted to Facebook: "Reluctant but need to say goodbye. Thanks to Stand News again."
Chan was not among the six staff members facing charges of conspiracy to publish seditious publications, but he was said to be "assisting with police investigations."
When authorities entered Chan's home, they confiscated the journalist's computer, phone, press pass and bank records, he later told reporters.
Around 200 officers also raided the newspaper's offices, according to a government press release.
Steve Li, head of the police national security department, told reporters that Stand News had published news and commentary inciting hatred against authorities, Reuters reported.
Li said police seized assets worth HK$61 million ($7.82 million) and did not rule out further arrests. "We are not targeting reporters. We are targeting national security offenses," Li said.
Hong Kong Chief Secretary John Lee said he supported the efforts of the authorities.
"Anybody who attempts to make use of media work as a tool to pursue their political purpose or other interests countering the law, particularly offenses that endanger national security, they are the evil element that damage press freedom," Lee said.
Founded in 2014, Stand News was shortlisted this year for the Reporters Without Borders Independence award. The media watchdog cited the outlet's reporting on "crucial political and social developments in the territory, and … in-depth coverage of government policy and all trials related to the National Security Law."
During anti-government protests in the city in 2019, several of its reporters were injured, including journalist-turned-activist Gwyneth Ho. She was one of 47 people accused of subversion under the national security law in February.
More recently, the news site has come under pressure, including from pro-Beijing state-run media, which alleged that its reports incited terrorism.
In June, Stand News announced it had removed some commentaries, opinions, blogs and reader contributions of its own accord. At the same time, six board members resigned, including former Stand News board member Denise Ho, legislator Margaret Ng, and Tat-chi Chow, who were among the six arrested Wednesday.
The other three detained were chief editor Patrick Lam, former chief editor Chung Pui-Kuen and former board member Christine Fang.
Hours before the police raids, editor Chan spoke at the Hong Kong Journalists Association annual dinner about the challenges for the city's media.
The HKJA said in a statement that it was following closely the case against its chairperson and Stand News.
"[HKJA] is deeply concerned that the police have repeatedly arrested senior members of the media and searched the offices of news organizations containing large quantities of journalistic materials within a year. HKJA urges the government to protect press freedom in accordance with the Basic Law," the association said.
The raids and imminent closure of Stand News came just six months after pro-democracy news outlet Apple Daily folded. Authorities froze assets and arrested several of the outlet's executives, including founder Jimmy Lai, under the national security law.
Alvin Chan, a freelance journalist for Stand News who had worked at Apple Daily, told VOA the situation was a "nightmare."
"Actually, fear is not the emotion, perhaps anger. Again, we did nothing wrong, and I believe journalists in Stand News did nothing wrong, too," Alvin Chan said.
"The authorities seem to have a drama script, which is what happened in 2019 was incited by the media, including Apple Daily and Stand News," Alvin Chan said, referring to the mass protests that year.
Unlike Apple Daily, those arrested at Stand News are facing charges of sedition rather than crimes under the national security law.
However, recent court judgments have enabled authorities to use powers under the national security law to deploy rarely used colonial-era laws covering sedition, Reuters reported.
The United Nations, rights groups and journalist organizations criticized Wednesday's raid, saying it would damage Hong Kong's press freedom record.
The U.N. rights office said it was "alarmed by the continued crackdown on civic space" in Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong has a legal obligation to respect the rights to freedom of information, expression and association, as well as to guarantee due process," it said in a statement to Reuters. "We are witnessing an extremely rapid closing of the civic space and outlets for Hong Kong's civil society to speak and express themselves freely."
Hong Kong Watch, a watchdog group in Britain, described the arrests as "nothing short of an all-out assault on the freedom of the press in Hong Kong." And the city's Foreign Correspondents Club said that while it was not commenting on the legality of the actions, "[they] are a further blow to press freedom in Hong Kong and will continue to chill the media environment in the city following a difficult year for the city's news outlets."
Concerns for Hong Kong's media environment have been raised since Beijing imposed the national security law in June 2020.
In an interview with VOA this month, Ronson Chan said the "red lines" for Hong Kong media had made 2021 the "saddest year."
"We never can get back — Hong Kong has changed," he said, predicting that the situation would get worse. "Next year will not be easy. We still have a very critical situation."

Google has bolstered its operation in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte with the unveiling of a new and expansive facility for its engineering center, which is the first of its kind for the Silicon Valley giant in Latin America.
The site has been dedicated to the research, development, and statistical control of searches. The expansion proves that Google has faith in Brazilian tech talent, with local newspapers claiming that it strengthens the city's image as the Brazilian Silicon Valley.
Belo Horizonte is among the largest cities in Brazil, after São Paulo and Rio de Jeneiro, and it is home to a large number of IT and biotechnology firms. Google's other office in Brazil is in São Paulo, where sales and marketing professionals work.
The tech world giant came to Belo Horizonte in 2005 when it acquired Akwan, a local search engine, created by a group of teachers from UFMG, a federal university, focused on customers and companies.
Google has since invested more than $200 million in Belo Horizonte alone, where more than 100 technology professionals are working. The engineering center is headed by Berthier Ribeiro-Neto, a former professor and the founder of Akwan.
Some reports say Google will double the headcount at the center over the coming months.
Why the internet giant chose Belo Horizonte for setting up its engineering center is because the state of Minas Gerais, whose capital is Belo Horizonte, is home to a cluster of more than 200 tech companies. Google thinks it can easily find tech workers willing to work for it there.
The Silicon Valley giant has even offered to help Brazil give internet access to people living in the remote Amazon region. Google's Loon Project uses stratospheric balloons to bring internet to mobile phones and tablets in regions where laying fiber optic cables is not economically feasible.

A heavy load of client work has left little time for creating new content for the Tagoblog lately, so I thought this might be a good time to post an article I wrote a while back for the Avectra Academy. Enjoy – and I'll be back soon with new content. – Jeff
If you are about to expand your e-learning efforts or take the plunge into e-learning for the first time, there is a good chance you are worried about whether your program will attract enough enrollments to pay for itself. A properly executed market assessment can help you not only gauge overall demand but also make better decisions about what offerings to build and how to market them.
The following results from assessments across three different organizations illustrate the ways in which slight differences in market needs can have a significant impact on strategic decision-making.
For the first organization, an association focused on serving business operations professionals, survey responses collected from more than a quarter of the membership base made it clear that the two market characteristics most relevant to e-learning demand were a combination of "time scarcity" – both lack of available time and also difficulty with scheduling – and a growing unwillingness on the part of employers to foot the bill for training.
Members of the second organization, which serves corporate advisors, have a high level of control over their own time and relatively little price sensitivity. For this group, interviews and focus groups suggested that value perception would be a critical factor for the success of an e-learning initiative. Potential purchasers would need to have little doubt that e-learning would deliver a high degree of "bang for the buck."
Finally, for the third group, which serves contractors and others in the building industry, survey responses indicated that a high level of interaction with an instructor would be important for making e-learning attractive. Additionally, interviews with representative stakeholders revealed that organizations might find e-learning to be a valuable support tool for in-office training of salespeople and other key staff.
What implications do these results have on product strategy decisions?
For the operations professionals, short, on-demand e-learning courses at a relatively low price point per content or credit hour are most likely to fit the bill.
For the advisors, format is less important than ensuring that the content is delivered by trusted authorities and is highly practical and actionable.
For the contractors, there will clearly need to be a way to interact with instructors – and further probing suggested that e-mail or a discussion board might be the most appropriate approach. Additionally, it will be valuable to offer tools – like, for example, a facilitators guide – for using the e-learning content in a classroom setting.
In reaching these conclusions, it is important to recognize that the demand factors highlighted are not the only ones that impact product strategy – they are simply the most important ones. Interaction with an instructor, for example, was an important secondary factor for the operations professionals, and it should be taken into account as part of product design. But while a product that offers relatively little instructor interaction might still sell well, it was clear that offerings that presented time and budget challenges would not.
Organizations face a growing amount of competition for the educational "mind share" of their stakeholders, so knowing what to emphasize in product design and in the promotion of products is critical. In all of the cases above, pre-existing assumptions and biases would most likely have led the organizations down a different path, resulting in wasted time and money as well as a potential loss of market share.
It is tempting when starting a new e-learning initiative to dive into product development based on the assumptions of staff and board members. Resist that temptation and take the time to assess your market well. A little knowledge can go a long way.

After a volatile and downward
, this year has seen all asset classes climb significantly for the most part with commodities leading the charge.
This year, there have been global trade wars, environmental protests, Brexit deadline extensions, negative interest rates and countries tip-toeing the edge of a recession, but some ETFs have produced exceptional returns. Here are some of the top performing ETFs amid geopolitical and investor uncertainty.
The top performing ETP of 2019 has unsurprisingly come from the commodity asset class but in the form of the Xtrackers Physical Rhodium ETC (XRH0). For the year, XRH0 has produced returns in excess of 136%, significantly ahead of any other ETF, let alone the more popular gold ETPs which have produced returns of around 18% for the year.
Rhodium is a rare noble metal and used within automobiles production. It is one of the rarest within platinum group metals which means there is less liquidity in the underlying. Therefore, as demand grows, as it likely would for automobiles, the supply is limited forcing the price to go up.
Geographically, Russia has been a moneymaker for investors in 2019. Behind XRH0 in performance is the iShares MSCI Russia ADR/GDR UCITS ETF (CSRU) with year-to-date returns of 52.1%. CSRU's largest holding with 19.3% weighting is Gazprom PJSC, a gas production company, and has seen its share price climb 86.6%. In fact, nearly 60% of CSRU is within the energy sector which is the contributor to its performance.
What were the five most read ETF Insight stories in 2019?
While CSRU was aided by the performance of the energy sector, it was the technology sector ETFs that reigned supreme as it has for most of the year. The Invesco Technology S&P US Select Sector UCITS ETF (XLKQ) is the top performing sector exposed fund with returns of 46.6%. Its largest holdings, Apple and Microsoft which account for 38.4% of the fund saw their share prices rise 88.3% and 60.7%, respectively.
Commodity ETPs make a regular appearance in the top performing products of this year and after rhodium is a similar product used within the automobile production industry. The iShares Physical Palladium ETC (SPDM) has produced a YTD return of 47.3%. Palladium's demand is roughly equal to rhodium's but due to the increased supply and liquidity, the price and performances differ dramatically.
Other notable mentions include the WisdomTree Artificial Intelligence UCITS ETF (WTAI) with 51.1% returns, the iShares Listed Private Equity UCITS ETF (IPRV) with 40.2% and the L&G Gold Mining UCITS ETF (AUCO) with 40.5%.

Researchers distinguish ideal and real gas models. What is their specificity?
What is an ideal gas?
In science, the interpretation of the concept of "ideal gas" is widespread, corresponding to a hypothetical substance (which does not exist in reality), the properties of which can be described by means of the Clapeyron - Mendeleev equation.
Under an ideal gas is understood a mathematical model of the corresponding substance, which is characterized by:
- the possibility of neglecting the potential energy generated in the process of interaction of gas particles - in comparison with the level of kinetic the energies of these particles;
- the extremely small total volume of the particles constituting the gas;
- very small presence or absence of remote forces of attraction of particles or their repulsion;
- very short time of interaction of particles with each other.
What is real gas?
Under a real gas, in turn, we mean a substance that cannot be described by the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation. So, the molecules present in it interact with each other, form a certain volume.
It should be noted that in many cases the characteristics of the potential energy formed during the interaction of real gas molecules are significantly lower than the kinetic energy. As a result, the corresponding gases in their properties approach those that characterize an ideal gas. Significant differences between the substances under consideration begin to appear, as a rule, with an increase in pressure and a decrease in temperature.
The main difference between an ideal gas and a real one is that the model of the first substance practically does not take into account the volume of molecules, as well as the energy of their interaction. In real gas, the corresponding indicators are taken into account. At the same time, at low pressure and high temperature, the real gas is close to ideal in its properties.
Having determined what is the difference between ideal and real gas, let us fix the conclusions in the table.
Ideal gas | Real gas |
What do they have in common? | |
Under certain conditions, a real gas can be close in properties to ideal | |

The model for describing a substance does not take into account the volume of its molecules, as well as the energy of their interaction with each other | The model for describing a substance takes into account the volume of its molecules and the strength their interactions |

Letter from Brussels
I can't put it any plainer than columnist Richard Fairman of the Financial Times, with whom we were sitting last Wednesday in the same ornate auditorium of Brussels' opera house, La Monnaie. «When you've seen one, you've seen them all.» He was referring, of course, to Robert Wilson's works, and to his current production of Verdi's «Aida» which last week had its premiere in the neoclassical theater in the heart of the Belgian capital, Ionic columns and the gable relief adorning its facade. In his usual fashion, the Texas-born minimalist was once again director, designer and lighting director. He is well known in Greece for a lecture show in Thessaloniki in 1997, for the 3D film «Monsters of Grace,» a Philip Glass-Robert Wilson collaboration (shown in Athens in the summer of 1998), as well as for the rather unfortunate «Prometheus» – to Iannis Xenakis's music – staged last year at the Athens Concert Hall. Bob Wilson has set the stage template for the abstract and minimalist past and present. Therefore, the Greek public – or at least the governing elite suited by taste and intellect to determine the course of government – is well acquainted with the standard Wilson production, which invariably involves the use of lighting effects, slow-motion movement and an empty stage filled with elliptical images. Since I have seen many of Wilson's productions in various locations – from Istanbul to Oporto – I can assure you that you did not miss anything new. When the world-class singers brought in for the occasion – outstanding soprano Norma Fantini as Aida, Hungarian mezzo-soprano Ildiko Komlosi as Amneris, Johan Botha as Radames and the resonant Maxim Mikhailov as the King – sang and (hardly) moved in this Wilsonian Sahara, it was easy to be convinced, believe it or not, that «Aida» works perfectly well without the camels. With the familiar Wilsonian devices, the over-familiar Triumphal March is even more triumphant without the marching. Without the usual sensational choreographed fights, without the cinematically arcane rituals, this minimalistic «Aida» breathed a new intensity into Verdi's glorious depiction of the decadence of the Egyptian Pharaohs. As Wilson told us, most of his works begin at the Watermill Center, a multidisciplinary arts laboratory located in eastern Long Island, New York. At Watermill, Wilson and his collaborators lay the foundations for each piece, building up from visual imagery to movement on stage and, later, to costumes, words, music and scene designs. The process begins with a series of sketches with which Wilson outlines the entire work. In the case of «Aida,» these sketches were completed in the summer of 1999. To these are added visual images from a variety of sources, along with texts and general ideas. The result is a «visual book» – from which the entire production is constructed – not a script or a score, as in the traditional methods of the theater. So, Aida gave up her fatherland for her love. In a united Europe where 300 million people in 12 European countries recently gave up their national currencies for the use of just a single one, it is interesting to make comparisons. The new currency is simultaneously about opera tickets – whose prices I forgot to ask Claire Jesuran, Monnaie's amicable press officer who provided me with the free ticket – and about paying 1.36 euros instead of 55 Belgian Francs or 600 drachmas for a hot waffle on a sunny Brussels day, and even about complex questions of economic policy and interdependence in a globalized world.Yet for a Greek abroad, it's a pleasant surprise to discover that prices here are affordable. Quite a relief.

It's traditional at the end of formal meditation to offer a "dedication of merit," a blessing or resolve acknowledging the efforts we make to practice and that the benefits of practice extend far beyond ourselves. In the Vipassana/Insight tradition, (out of which mindfulness meditation has grown) this dedication often ends with the lovely blessing "May all beings be peaceful, happy and come to the end of suffering."
In the early years of practice I didn't understand how my meditation practice would or could benefit anyone else, and the dedication of merit didn't really land anywhere. It was nice, but it felt more like something the teacher said to end the practice period.
During this time, I was very busy sitting quietly, breathing, noticing my popcorn mind, and mostly avoiding fights with my teenagers. But little by little, I saw how my decreasing reactivity and increasing clarity had a very direct effect on me, my family, my work, on everything. Over time I've come to understand what a profound and far-reaching practice this is, and that the intention to practice for the benefit of others is serious.
In that light, this week's post is a very personal piece on forgiveness. I am excited to tell you that it was recently published on LionsRoar.com, the new online platform for Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma magazines. My motivation to make this piece public is that it may be helpful to others.

Caciocavallo Silano can be eat alone or simply with some rustic, durum wheat bread, choosing between many products of Souther Italy, as Pane di Altamura or Pane di Cutro, candidated to get the PDO mark.
This cheese is also perfect to enrich some typical recipes. In fact, it is the main ingredient for many meridional recipes. For example, it can be used to realize the delicious eggplant rolls or the typical "parmigiana di melanzane".
Caciocavallo Silano blends perfectly also with many pasta dishes, as the classic "pasta ripiena alla calabrese", filled with meatballs, tomato sauce, Soppressata di Calabria and other italian cheese, like Pecorino Romano PDO.
For the fact that it is a salty and spicy product, especially in the hard version, Caciocavallo Silano can easily tolerate pairing with typical Calabrian cold cuts, as Soppressata, Capocollo and Salsiccia di Calabria, all PDO.

Fans of beefy meat products are likely to have a special fondness for the New York strip steak. What's not to love? As a steak, this is among the larger cuts from the cow and has the least amount of muscle tissue to contend with when prepping it up as part of the meal. When done right, this juicy steak can serve up as more than a dished-up favorite. It can also cause a musical experience in the mouth that may have one singing a beefed-up version of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."
Among the most serious cooks, doing up a good steak is like an artist working with a canvas. What can ruin a perfectly good steak is poor preparation and miscalculated cooking techniques, a practice too many people who make assumptions do without doing the necessary homework to avoid such a fate. Steak meat is not cheap, especially a New York strip. You want to make sure you do this right from start to finish. This means you make sure you buy the best quality meat your wallet can afford before taking it home and getting it ready for that perfect steak meal. From tenderizing to marinating to cooking, when done right that New York strip steak may give cause to run back to the butcher shop for more.
Recommended Tenderizing Technique
Before cooking any steak, especially one as exquisite as the New York strips, making sure the meat is tender enough is essential in order to make the most out of this beautiful cut. One of the best methods is using a sheet of plastic wrap and covering up the steak before beating each side with a spiked meat mallet. Doing this exactly as suggested keeps the nooks of the mallet from sticking to the meat, therefore making this tool easier to clean. As for the meat itself, it won't have any bits caught up in the mallet that will compromise the quality level of your steak. Once you've done this, unwrap the meat and place them on a shallow pan, making it easy to pour your marinade of choice, completely covering each steak in the process.
For a pair of beautifully tenderized and marinated New York steaks, mix together two cloves of minced garlic, a cup of Worcestershire sauce, a tablespoon of salt and pepper, plus two tablespoons of lemon juice. This wonderful marinade serves the dual purpose of tenderizing your meat even further, thanks to the acidic content behind the lemon juice, as well as adding flavor to the meat that doesn't overpower the tastebuds. Among top-notch restaurants that choose to keep things simple, this is the favorite method of choice used, especially among Red Seal chefs who have been trained in this technique as students. If you're not a fan of garlic, substitute it with another spice that is more suitable for your palette.
Once the marinade is poured over the steaks, either place a lid over the shallow pan or cover it up with a plastic wrap. Place the steaks into the fridge and let them sit there for at least two hours. What this procedure does is allow the meat to tenderize even further, not to mention enhance the flavoring and juiciness of the meat. Following this tenderizing technique takes care of the first half of how to make the best New York strip steak, not to mention any other kind of meat product you wish to put on your plate.
Cooking Procedures
Chefs use a variety of methods to cook up a steak. The all-time global favorite is to simply fire up the barbecue and let the grilling process begin. Other chosen methods have seen New York steaks broiled in the oven, fried up in a skillet, and smoked. Assuming you have followed the recommended tenderizing technique to the letter when you take the meat out to start cooking, let it sit out of the fridge for about thirty minutes before applying it to a heated source. Among most of the best chefs in the business, this is what they do.
During the cooking process, if you have a digital thermometer handy, great. If not, you can check how done your steak is by gently pressing two fingers against the surface of the middle of the steak before doing the same to the palm of your right hand underneath your thumb. Using your thumb as a tool, bring it over to the other four fingers of your hand. From finger to finger, the squishiness of the muscle your hand is holding will be determined by whichever finger you're touching with that thumb. The tougher the muscle feels the more the meat has been cooked. If the feel of the steak and the muscle feel of the thumb is the same when using your index finger, this tells you your steak is rare. The middle finger feel suggests the steak is medium-rare, followed by the ring finger indicating it's at medium temperature. The pinky finger feel serves as a steak that is now well done. This method is not as accurate as a digital temperature reading of a thermometer but it does the trick and it is a technique the best-trained chefs know as a trade secret.
Broiling Method
Should one use a broiling method to cook up a New York steak, place the meat on a broiling pan and place it under the heated up broiler for six minutes. Carefully, use a set of tongues to flip the meat over and cook for an additional six to eleven minutes, depending entirely on how cooked you want the meat to be when done. If you have a digital thermometer, this is the best method you can use to make sure you don't have something undercooked or overcooked that will compromise your dining experience.
Grilling Method
Cooking steaks on the grill, including New York cuts, seems to be the all-time favorite method, and for good reason. Between the charred marks and the flavoring, only a barbecue grill can pull off, it is a very difficult technique to beat. Whether it's powered by propane or you're going with the charcoal that has reached a heating temperature of 350 degrees, it takes about three minutes per side for a rare to medium-rare New York steak and about five minutes per side for a medium. Medium-well steaks average about eight minutes and well-done steaks are known to take about ten minutes to cook each side. However, the times vary according to the heat of the grill and how the New York strips have been cut. Ideally, going with a digital thermometer and its readings is your best bet to make sure you don't mess up the cooking process of your steak.
Skillet Method
When the time comes to cook, if it's the skillet method, add just enough extra virgin olive oil to its surface before adding it to a burner that's been on high heat. Wait about a minute or two before putting the steak in. When on high heat, it takes an average of three minutes per side of the New York steak if you want to serve this steak as rare. For medium, add an extra minute to each side while well-done steaks need a solid five to six minutes on each side. The last thing you want to do is overcook the meat as this will dry it out. As mentioned, these are average times. It will vary slightly due to the amount of fat content involved in each cut. For fattier cuts, it is recommended the skillet rest on very high heat for a minute before adding the steak. Doing this will sear off the fat quickly and the meat will absorb it as juice as it cooks in the skillet. This will maximize the flavor in what seems like an effortless fashion.
Steak Temperature Readings
Sometimes, time itself to cook a steak cannot always be trusted. There are a number of variables involved such as fat content, meat quality, and even how well the appliance used for the job can do what it needs to do. Using a digital meat thermometer is a recommended tool to determine when the steak is done, especially if you doubt your personal judgment. When injecting the thermometer into the meat, do not pierce all the way. Ideally, you want to poke as close to the thickest cut of the meat as possible and insert about halfway. This will give you the best reading. For blue rare steaks, the temperature should read 108 degrees. Rare steaks read at 115 degrees while medium rares are measured at 125 degrees. Medium-well steaks are achieved at 145 degrees while well-done steaks are at 155 degrees. Among commercial and institutional kitchens, it is usually a requirement by food and safety regulations to mark down the temperature of prepared meals before serving.
It should be pointed out, however, that the feel of doneness to a steak is not quite the same as an internal temperature reading you get from a thermometer. Also, it is recommended you remove the steak from its source of heat when they're about five degrees shy of reaching your desired temperature as a New York steak cut. Even when removed from the heat, the cooking process continues for a few more minutes still, so if you don't want your meat overcooked, this is the best way to make sure it doesn't.
According to Taste
No two people are exactly alike, so it stands to reason no two people at the same meal sitting are going to like their New York strip steak done up the exact same way. There are scores of recipes and suggestions on how to do up a juicy steak, regardless of cut, that is as vast as the number of food products there is available for the consumer market. However, the common denominator boils down to the quality of meat you're buying and how you treat it all the way up until it's time to serve it. When I worked for a certain Greek restaurant that was the number one choice for several miles as the "go-to" place for steaks, after it came off the grill it took a quick trip into a bowl where it met with a hint of lemon juice and garlic butter. After a slight dance in the bowl, it was put on the plate, ready for its companions to accompany it as a "wow" experience by the diners. Speaking as someone who prefers a well-done New York strip steak, this method definitely helped take away the otherwise dry texture of meat that sometimes becomes too tough when the cut is overcooked.
