Li, T. & Wang, G. (2007). Security analysis of two ultra-lightweight RFID authentication protocols. Proceedings of SEC'2007 (pp. 109-120).
In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of two ultra-lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocols: LMAP and M2AP, which are recently proposed by Peris-Lopez et al.We identify two e®ective attacks, namely De-synchronization attack and Full-disclosure attack, against their protocols. The former attack can break the synchro- nization between the RFID reader and the tag in a single protocol run so that they can not authenticate each other in any following protocol runs. The latter attack can disclose all the secret information stored on a tag by interrogating the tag multiple times. Thus it compromises the tag completely. Moreover, we point out the potential countermeasures to improve the security of above protocols

Creative Hitz WP-380 review
Many users think of buying new modern wireless headphones to replace original old-type ones that came with a player or a smartphone. Today we will show you Hitz WP-380 headphones from Creative.
First impression always starts from the process of unpackaging the box. Hitz WP-380 looks great, at first sight one can tell that these headphones are very well made. The design is modern. These on ear type headphones have professionally-tuned 34mm neodymium drivers that must deliver excellent sound. There is also a microphone, so Hitz WP-380 can be used to make calls as well. Official web page positions Hitz WP-380 as a Lightweight On-ear Bluetooth Headset with NFC.
The box has the headset, small travel pouch, mini-USB cable for charging, standart 3.5mm audio cable and user manual.
The design is simple and modern. The quality is very good, just as you'd expect from device made by Creative. The headset sits comfortable and can be adjusted in several ways. The cups do fold, which is good. We find these headphones fairly comfortable and experienced no problems wearing them for a long time. WP-380 weights just 5.3 oz (150 g).
The microphone is hidden in the earcup, it's a little far from the mouth, it is it is hard to use the WP-380 headset in a noisy place.
It is very easy to start listen to the music: you need is to turn on WP-380 and keep holding on/off button. The light goes blinking blue, which means it is ready to connect to some gadget. On the iPhone just navigate to Settings - Bluetooth, then find and select Creative WP-380 in the list of found devices. That's it. Easy! The working distance is approximately 33 ft (10 meters), which is enough to walk around the house with no need to carry your player or smartphone with you.
WP-380 can also connect to devices with NFC technology (Near Field Communication). Unfortunately Apple smartphones do not support NFC, while Android users will be happy to try NFC.
Another interesting fact about WP-380 is Creative ShareMe and Creative Multipoint. Creative ShareMe (one source, two headsets) allows you to share your music wirelessly with your buddy or loved one using another Creative ShareMe-enabled wireless headset. Creative Multipoint (two sources, one headset) allows you to pair two separate devices to the headset at the same time. This means that you can easily switch your music source between these two Bluetooth stereo devices.
There are several buttons to control the headset. The on/off button is used to turn headset on and off, to set up BlueTooth connection, and to answer the incoming call. Using next, previous, play/pause (combined with on/off button) is is possible to control the music, stop/play, skip to the next track or play the previous one. Volume buttons are used to control the volume. Unfortunately it is not possible to use Siri voice assistant on the iPhone, there is just no button for that.
The quality of the sound is very good. This is not a surprise, since Creative uses different software and hardware trick s to improve sound playback and recording quality. Middle and high frequencies are well done, bass is good as well. The built-in speech microphone with ClearSpeech Engine actively suppresses external noises and digitally enhances speech clarity so that your conversations are loud and clear.
By the way, users of iPad tablet and iPod Touch player can use this headset to talk via Skype and similar voip apps.
The compatible list of devices is quite high. Hitz WP-380 works with Bluetooth enabled devices as well as with with every phone and player that has a standart 3.5mm jack.
Creative WP-380 charges in about an hour. Internal battery gives us approximately 12 hours of playback time.

Chef notes
I love ordering chicken Parmesan at Italian restaurants, but the rich dish isn't exactly swimsuit-season-friendly. This burger is equally delicious and perfect for a summer backyard get-together!
Swap Ideas: You can use ground turkey instead of chicken, bread crumbs instead of the panko or sour cream instead of the Greek yogurt. You can serve these on buns or ciabatta but they are also great served alone!
Siri's Time-Saving Tip: Make the burgers ahead of time, wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in Tupperware in the freezer or fridge until you're ready to cook them!
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup panko
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella
- 4 hamburger buns or ciabatta, for serving
1.In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, panko, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, if desired. Using your hands, combine the ingredients until just incorporated. Form the mixture into four patties.
2.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3.Place the burgers in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
4.Preheat the oven broiler to high.
5.Place the burgers on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Spoon a dollop of the marinara sauce on each burger. Top with a tomato slice and then the cheese. Place the burgers under the broiler for a couple of minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6.Serve on buns or alone. I like to serve these with a side of spaghetti squash or a salad.

Sonia Cornuchet: One of Cuba's Great Voices
by Helson Hernandez
HAVANA TIMES — Though she has lived abroad for years, she has never forgotten her Cuban roots, and her talent has grown all the more for it. Currently, she is a pianist and music director for Peruvian singer Tania Libertad.
HT: Tell us about Mezcla.
Sonia Cornuchet: Without a doubt, the band marked an important stage in my life as a student. I joined Mezcla while still at the conservatory, before I graduated. Mezcla was a school for me in terms of professional development. There, I worked with Pablo Menendez, the director and Jose Antonio Acosto, who had been a bass player and the director of Los Magneticos. I also got to know Lucia Huergo. In short, I learned everything that has been useful to me as a musician. I have never lost touch with them, because good friendships, like love and plants, need constant care. I feel my work with Mezcla has been crucial to my life as an artist and person.
HT: What impact did Donato Poveda's work have on your career as a singer?
SC: I first met him when he was going around with his guitar looking for a place to sing his songs. That's when we began to work together. I later ran into him in Mexico, where he'd gone with Estefano, as a duo. I always liked his songs. I first recorded Como una campana ("Like a Bell"), Poveda's well-known piece, in 1989, for an album titled Fronteras de sueño ("The Borders of Dreams") that was produced in Germany and featured Mezcla. I recently re-recorded the song, as one's voice matures over the years, and one's experiences enrich both your voice and the way you perform a song.
HT: What did you specialize in?
SC: Concert piano. I liked classical music very much, but I was drawn towards popular pieces and song more. When I graduated, back in the 80s, the Jazz Plaza festivals were just starting, thanks to all of the new music that was reaching Cuba. There was a Brazilian pianist who came to Cuba to perform, it was impressive, and she made a deep impression on me. Gonzalito Rubalcaba also invited me to be part of the first music project presented to Jazz Plaza, and all of that undoubtedly had an impact on my later decisions as a musician.
HT: You put aside singing in order to teach for some time.
SC: Yes. When I completed my studies, I had to do the so-called "social service," and I was sent far away to teach. Being forced to teach at the time, as you can imagine, almost made me want to cry. I worked as a teacher in Pinar del Rio and Las Tunas. I still remember how frogs would get into the conservatory in Pinar del Rio, my god. They even had cows there. I wanted to go straight into music, train as a singer, play, tap all of the unbridled passion of my youth. Pablo Menendez did the impossible to have me relocated. Perseverance is the key to success, and I kept looking for a way to go back to Havana to be able to play with Mezcla.
HT: What can you tell us about your work as an arranger?
SN: I worked with Amaury Perez as an arranger for a year. I also worked with Lucia Huergo, in a band called Zona Franca, which was a trio. I had to learn a lot of new things there and that broadened my music spectrum. I liked that band so much that I have kept its format for my work with Peruvian singer Tania Libertad. I am her pianist, arranger and music director.
HT: Mexico opened many doors for you, professionally.
SC: When Lucia Huergo returned to Cuba, I stayed in Mexico and began working with Cuban singer Albita Rodriguez. I joined her band and played whatever instrument they needed me to play. It was in Mexico that I had the opportunity to come into contact and work with prestigious artists, including Denis de Kalaff, Amaury Gutierrez, David Torrens, Armando Manzanero, even Monte de Espuma, the Cuban band directed by the late Mario Dali, when they arrived in Mexico. This led me to Tania Libertad.
HT: You'll be traveling to Cuba this year for the Voces Populares festival.
SC: Yes. As Tania Libertad was invited to participate in the festival, I also had the opportunity to come back. As I said, I am her band's pianist and music director. The story of my relationship with Tania is interesting. We met in Peru, I was there with Albita Rodriguez, at Estacion Barranco. She saw me perform, and, as it happens, she was looking for a female pianist for her band.
When we got back to Mexico, we met up and staged our first concert, she sang and I played the piano. In the Canary Islands we recited poems by Benedetti, whom I had the pleasure of meeting through this performance. We then recorded an album in Paris y Senegal, titled Ritmos de Negros ("Black Rhythms"). I was the producer of the album, which was nominated for a Grammy. That's how we began to produce albums and organize projects that have been of importance to her career. My work as an arranger and producer has clearly had an impact on her, as I've suggested she include pieces by Cuban composers in her repertoire. At the same time, Tania has had an impact on my career. She's a fabulous singer, her concepts have marked my work, as though we were a family.
HT In addition to music, what other achievements do you believe you have had in life?
SC: My family, which is one of the most important things you can have. My daughter, my husband, my parents, my sister, my nephews, my family in general.
HT: Are they all living with you, in Mexico?
SC: No. My parents are in Cuba and they come visit me. My daughter lives with me in Mexico, she's 12, and her father, my husband Gerardo Inguanso, who's also Cuban, works as an engineer for Tania Libertad's band.
HT: What's it like to be far from your home country?
SC: I've never been able to forget my roots entirely. Being far from your birth country makes you cling to its customs more strongly. I think I look for Cuban dishes abroad more than I do when I visit the island. Another thing you tend to miss quite a lot are the idiosyncrasies and personalities of Cubans. We have a very direct way of saying things which sometimes puts people off. In Mexico, I've had to soften that a bit. That said, what I try to do more than anything is to remain authentic, to remain Cuban, and I can travel to the island constantly, thank god.
HT: Where would you place yourself among the great voices Cuba has given us?
SC: It's not for me to say, that's up to those who wish to categorize this whole affair. If I had to, I would say I am part of that group made up by Xiomara Laugart, Anabell Lopez, Tanya, that whole generation, Carlos Varela, Edesio Alejandro, in short, a generation that had the fortune of deciding to start singing when all of Cuba's Nueva Trova festivals were still being held in Varadero. There were new rock bands with female leads. Mezcla was a fusion band and combined several genres, something very common in Cuban music. Our music had more of an influence from great bolero singers at the time, than from foreign music such as rock or jazz. I would place myself there, I think.
HT: What are your priorities for the near future?
SC: I want to complete the album I started recording with Lucia Huergo, who regrettably died this past May 1st. Our project came to a halt because of her death, which tore many of us apart. I want to finish that project. Luckily, I can count of the help of musicians in Mexico, who will help me complete the album: producer and arranger Neiro Otaño, and Fernando Acosta, the saxophonist for the band Afrocuba, will play the saxophone that Lucia didn't get a chance to record. We are thinking of staging performances in Cuba with pieces from the album, to keep alive the work of this great friend and musician and have an opportunity to show people my work as a singer.
HT: What would you bring to Mexico from Cuba, to be able to see every time you open your windows?
SC: That's very hard to say. I believe I carry Cuba inside me, always. There is one place I would like to take with me. I would love to be able to open the door of my house and see my mother's garden and its orchids every day. We could say that is my own, personal slice of Cuba.

Snow and Mistletoe by Alexa Riley
I actually purchased Snow and Mistletoe by Alexa Riley over the holidays, because I love myself some short, hot, cheesy Christmas novels. But I never got to it before Christmas, and that's usually when I like my holiday books. But this was also a bonus book in PS…You're Mine, so I read them together.
At least they warn you up front! Yes. Snow and Mistletoe is short, sweet and cheesy. But I enjoyed the story. Christmas stories can get away with more of the cheese factor.
Noelle is an audiobook reader and Alex publishes them. He falls so deeply, and is so turned on by her voice that the gives her enough work so her voice can only be used by him. They never talk about personal things, but he always has her read the dirtiest parts to "try out" while he is out of breath (but she doesn't know why) on the other side of the phone. Noelle has crushed on Alex for the last year as well, even though her is her boss.
I know I might be crazy, but the thought of not having my daily calls with Alex is shattering. They're something I'm not ready to let go of, even if my obsession has gotten a bit unhealthy.
They have never met in person. Alex is a recluse who was scarred in an accident 10 years prior. But on Christmas Eve, Noelle decides to go to her mysterious boss's address 3 hours away in a snowstorm when her modem breaks and she can't reach him by phone. It's awkward at first…but then it isn't when they basically hump each other to keep warm lol.
As soon as they start doing it, Alex is ready to breed.
"Maybe I could chain her to me. Leave something of me inside her so she'll never be free of me."
Once again the use of cum and cumming instead of come really took away from the book for me and made it go from sweet to just dirty.
- I really liked the sweet storyline.
- I liked both characters.
- Made me smile.
- Cheesy is OK for the holidays.
- Good epilogue.
- The gift was phenomenal.
- Would have liked it slowed down just a bit. It was just a bit too quick.

On April 24, over 400 Latino leaders from across California came to our state capitol to proclaim: Latinos are a Force!
From the Inland Empire to the Central Valley, grassroots leaders came together to begin the hard work of preparing for the 2020 Presidential Election and the 2020 Census. With over 7.7 million eligible Latino voters in the next primary election, we have the power to tilt the direction of our country towards justice. And with the 2020 Census also around the corner, Latinos are the key to secure California's right to political representation and federal dollars.
The Summit began with an inspiring performance from Jose Cordon from One Day at a Time (ODAT) who called on all of us to rise up and use our voices to advocate for change.
LCF CEO Jacqueline Martinez Garcel and Chief of Staff to Governor Gavin Newsom, Ann O'Leary, followed by providing us the context for the day. "We exist in a moment of time that demands all of us to lead," said Jacqueline. When the citizenship question on the next census hangs in the balance, Ann told Summit attendees "We need to keep up the fight for a fair and accurate census count in California!"
In "How the Latino Community Can Save our Nation's Democracy," Ditas Katague (State Census Director), Melina Sanchez (Program Officer of the James Irvine Foundation), and Luis Sanchez (Executive Director of Power California) called on all us to ensure that we are registering every young person to vote and to see themselves as critical to the census count. As Ditas mentioned, "Latino youth are the guardians of our democracy!"
In "Running to Win: Latino Leadership in Today's Political Landscape," State Senator Melissa Hurtado, Delano City Councilmember Bryan Osorio, Kingsburg City Councilmember Jewel Hurtado, and Tulare County Supervisor Eddie Valero shared their stories around their historic runs for office. As Senator Hurtado exclaimed, "I needed to advocate for my community. I'm the first Latina to represent a district that is 60% Latino. I see the Central Valley as the land of opportunity!"
State Senator Maria Elena Durazo and Vice Chair of the Latino Caucus closed the Summit by rallying attendees to continue fighting for the Latino community. "We don't want charity. We want an equal shot at dignity and opportunity as everyone else in California!"
Following the Summit, attendees participated in over 60 legislative visits to promote and elevate the California Latino Agenda. When Latinos continue to face disparities in areas such as health, education, and housing, we used our collective power to elevate our voices and champion the solutions that we know work for our community.
The day ended with a fun, hope-filled Latino Leaders reception where the Chair of the Latino Caucus, Lorena Gonzalez once again called on all us to participate actively in our next election and census.

Potatoes Nutrition, Calories, Proteins, Carbs and more
Before we delve in to potatoes' nutrition , let us know that the potato is a root vegetable, which is a starchy tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum- a scientific name for it. Like the tomato and tobacco, this plant belongs to the nightshade family (a family of flowering plants).
Originated in the region of present-day southern Peru, potatoes were brought to Europe in the sixteenth century, and now it is grown around the world in numerous varieties and has become a staple crop in several countries, including India. Here almost every other dish contains potatoes like aloo gobhi, aloo matar ki subzi, dum aloo and so on.
One can have them raw, boiled, baked or fried and it is served as both full dish and a snack.
In this article, we have compiled all about potatoes along with their nutritional benefits and harms. Take a look:
Potatoes Nutrition Facts
Vitamins and Minerals
Potatoes are also a good source of potassium, magnesium, sodium, folate vitamin C and B6.
Apart from this, potatoes also have a good amount of antioxidants that are responsible for several health benefits. These antioxidants are mostly concentrated in the skin of potatoes.
Potato is a starchy vegetable that mainly consists of healthy carbs, which is 66-90% of dry weight.
No Fat
They are high in water and contain carbohydrates, protein and fibre- but almost zero fat. We have given a nutrition chart of potatoes at the bottom that contains all facts about this wonder vegetable.
It also contains small amounts of glucose, fructose and sucrose.
High on the glycemic index
Glycemic index, or GI, is counting from 0 to 100 assigned to food. A meal with a high glycemic index digests and absorbs fast in the good, causing a sudden increase in the blood sugar level two hours after consumption. So, potatoes are high on the glycemic index and hence not suitable for people with diabetes.
Foods with a high glycemic index, or GI, are quickly digested and absorbed, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar. A glycemic index is a number from 0 to 100 assigned to food, with pure glucose arbitrarily given the value of 100, which represents the relative rise in the blood glucose level two hours after consuming that food.
However, some potatoes also come under medium range. It also depends on the variety of potatoes and their cooking methods. Study says that cooling potatoes after cooking lowers their effect on blood glucose levels and reduces the GI by 25-26 percent.
Potatoes are not rich in proteins but have 1-5 percent of protein when fresh and 8-9 percent by dry weight. The main protein present in potatoes is called patatin. Some people may suffer allergic reactions due to this. But the quality of proteins available in potatoes is higher than that of soybeans and to other legumes.
Although potatoes are not particularly high-fibre food, they have some content of dietary fibres like cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. The fibres are mostly available in its skin around 1-2 percent. The dry skin of potatoes contains around 50 percent fiber. Also, the resistant starch available in it improves gut health. The cooled potatoes contain more starch than the hot ones.
Health Benefits of Potatoes
Many studies have proved that potatoes with skin reduces hypertension, improves heart health, lowers blood pressure (1,2,3). And you know what this tasty vegetable can also help you reach your weight loss goal. Potatoes come under the category of filling foods and thus aids weight loss by allowing you to lower your calorie intake.
They have an enzyme known as 'catecholase' which helps to brighten skin and remove dark spots. Applying potato juice around eyes reduces dark circles. They can gently exfoliate the skin, remove ageing marks and make the face glow. Potassium is good for the skin and heart.
When do you need to Limit your Potato Consumption?
In a few cases, you should stop or limit your potato intake:
Potato Allergy
When you have a potato allergy. Though it is rare many people feel allergic to the protein- patatin- present in potatoes, study says.
This is another toxic substance available in potatoes which increases when cooked at very high temperatures, such as roasting, deep frying or baking. Potato chips and French fries are foods that contain a higher amount of acrylamides. Animal studies show that the presence of acrylamides may damage the nerve, harm the brain and even increase the risk of cancer (1,2,3,4). So, for good health, it is wise not to have potato chips and French fries, which are usually associated with junk food as well.
Some reports suggest that both people and animals got Glycoalkaloid poisoning after eating potatoes. There are mainly two glycoalkaloids in potatoes are chaconine and solanine. But these potatoes toxicity reports are rare and the problem may go undiagnosed in many cases. The mild signs one may experience are stomach pain, diarrhoea, headache, vomiting or nausea. Serious symptoms include fast breathing and heart rate, low B.P, fever, cancer and death in some cases.
However, normally, potatoes contain very low amounts of glycoalkaloids. According to research, a person with 70 kg would have to eat 2 kg of potatoes with the skin in one day to get a fatal dose. glycoalkaloids are higher in the sprouts and the peel. Hence, eating these should be avoided. If you experience a burning sensation in your mouth while eating a potato it is a warning sign that you have consumed a toxic one.

November 2014 was the busiest month the Jakarta Comedy Club has ever had. We had four events in 15 days, featuring comedy legends Papa CJ (India), Ro Campbell (Australia) and Brian Aylward (Canada). All these events were supported by my good friends; Indonesian comedians Dana Pandawa, Fathia, Asep Suaji and Usama Harbatah. I am sure all the people who turned out to support these events will agree that a great deal of fun was had by all, and on the last night, our generous members donated more than US$500 to The Red Nose Foundation in aid of education for underprivileged Indonesian children. It was an exhausting, hilarious and heart-warming end to the year for the Jakarta Comedy Club and we are, as always, grateful for the generous support of our sponsors and our members. Without them, it would be impossible to do what we do. We will be back in January 2015 and look out for The 2nd Jakarta International Comedy Festival and The Jokers' Ball in April.
Thank you!
In 2014 The Jakarta Comedy Club hosted 24 comedians from nine countries.

Zampa Misaki The Cape of Okinawa
One of the ways to enjoy the Okinawan sea that we'd like to recommend is seeing it from the cape. It offers a superb view of the landscape from the top of the limestone cliff. You can see whitecaps from the sea striking the cliff.
This view is a wonderful way to introduce the charm of Zampa misaki, a famous tourist spot.
The cape and the lighthouse
As you are looking at this amazing landscape, you will realize that this place is protruding from the main island of Okinawa. You will surely enjoy experiencing the thrills of this unique cape.
There is a museum inside of the lighthouse. It's worth visiting. The admission is only 200 yen.
I recommend you not to hurry up the stairs. The staircase is steep and there are 99 steps.
The exhibition room clearly explains the history and role of the lighthouse.
From the top, you have a beautiful view of the coastline.
Near the lighthouse on one side, there is also a small shrine called "Uganju" (the worship place.) On the other side, there is a bronze statue of Taiki(who is from Yomitanson) from the Ryukyu Dynasty. He was known as the person who opened up trade with China.
Ryukyu dynasty incorporates a variety of cultures through trade with foreign countries,
Don't miss "the shaved ice bus" !
Since there is no shade, it takes a surprising amount of energy to look around the area.
When you get hot or tired, it is a good time to make your way to the "Kinjo Parlor Bus" located at the entrance of the cape. You can get Zenzai(Okinawan shaved ice) and there. The bus is constantly needed repairs and replaced every 5 years because it is so close to the ocean and suffering salt damage.
It looks a bit funny seeing this retro style bus at the cape.
Having a cool treat at the bus helps forget about the heat!
Zampa misaki is not just a cape!
"Zampa Ikoi no Hiroba Ti-da33(残波いこいの広場Ti-da33) "is an impressive park with a soccer field, tennis courts, a restaurant and petting zoo. You can purchase food and feed the goats. In addition, there are also BBQ areas and souvenir shops. There is also a huge 65-foot high statue of a lion that is worth seeing.
With so many activities inside and out Zampa is a place you can enjoy year round.
This restaurant has food for you and for the goats.
There is a petting zoo, where goats are bred.

The Intercept "obtained a copy" of the FBI's 48-question, 2015 "Indicators of Mobilization to Violence" protocol, a list of 48 questions that FBI investigators can use to determine if a subject is at risk for committing terrorist acts.
The document is evaluated through undisclosed "statistical methods" that are apparently undergoing refinement, and are only expected to give reliable responses once the FBI has subjected lots of people to its analysis and then figured out which responses actually correlate with terrorism.
In addition to asking whether subjects have fought overseas and bought bomb-making materials, it also asks whether subjects use encryption, use private browsing and other privacy tools, and whether they play paintball, or other "activities that simulate military or operational environments" (including camping trips).
Other questions are far more subjective and deal with the individual's emotional state. For example, the survey asks if the person has changed their appearance or habits, has "experienced a recent personal loss or humiliation," or has a history of mental health problems or substance abuse.Still other questions gauge ideological leanings. "Does the Subject hold a belief or ideology that supports the use of violence?" Or, "Has the Subject become more extreme in their beliefs?"
While the survey is, in theory, meant to be universal, it contains several references to Islamic terminology and seems to be focused on concerns about Muslim terrorism.
Sahar Aziz, a law professor at Texas A&M University and expert on programs aimed at countering violent extremism, told The Intercept that some of the questions are subject to bias by FBI agents.

Not long ago a Google prank resulted in the search engine telling the world that Tom Brady owned the Jets.
In reality, though, it could be argued that the Patriots quarterback has taken possession of another AFC East rival, the Bills.
With New England (9-2) preparing this week for Sunday's trip to Buffalo (6-5), plenty of interesting career achievement notes came out regarding just how dominant Brady's Patriots have been over the Bills, especially at New Era Field.
For example, with a win on Sunday Brady will tie former Buffalo and New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe for third-most wins in the history of the Bills home field, trailing only Jim Kelly and Joe Ferguson.
And with three or more touchdowns Brady – playing at what was formerly Ralph Wilson Stadium just once a season – would accumulate the third-most touchdown passes in the history of New Era Field.
Brady is 13-2 in Buffalo for his career, while going 26-3 against the Bills overall since 2001. His 26 wins equal the number Brett Favre had over the Lions for the most by any quarterback against any team in NFL history. (Of course Brady does have a still-impressive 24 wins against the Jets!)
Things have been especially dominant of late on trips to New Era Field, with Brady having thrown at least three touchdown passes with no interceptions in each of his last travels to Western New York, with a passer rating of 105 or better in each of those three wins.
Now, certainly Bills fans hope that the culture and tide is changing in Buffalo under first-year head coach Sean McDermott. The fact that a team that hasn't seen the postseason since 1999 is still competing for a playoff spot in the month of December is a nice step in the right direction.
As much as Brady and Bill Belichick's teams have dominated the Bills over the years, the coach sounded impressed with what he's seen from the squad of late under its new leadership. And we all know the Patriots boss worries far more about the here-and-now than any history of success.
"I think that Coach McDermott has done a real good job with this team," Belichick said this week. "They're playing extremely well, got a really good team, a lot of veteran players that play very good fundamentally. They're very sound. They do a lot of things well. They run the ball well. They play good defense. They're good in the kicking game. They obviously do a good great job with takeaways and turnovers. Ball security is going to be a huge issue for us in this game.
"I'd say that they play with a lot of passion. They play smart football. They don't give you anything. There's not a lot of opportunities there when you look on the film like 'Oh, this looks good. That looks good.' You're going to have to earn everything you get from this team. They play very competitively. They have a lot of tough football players, guys that play hard, that work hard, that are physical."
Of course Belichick says similar things about many of his team's upcoming opponents. And it's hard to ignore the history of Brady and the Patriots taking care of business against Buffalo – regardless of the location, conditions or details of the two teams in each individual matchup.
Heading into the second of three straight AFC East games and the first of three-straight road games, here are some potential keys to Sunday's battle with the Bills in Buffalo.
Patriots Football Weekly's Andy Hart shares his players to watch during the Patriots Week 13 road trip to Buffalo to face the Bills.
Gronk's hometown home away from home – Brady may own the Bills – again, a win Sunday, his 27th against Buffalo, will be the most by any quarterback over one team in NFL history – but his tight end has had almost as impressive a track record against the team. After growing up rooting for his hometown Bills, Gronkowksi has spent his career beating up on the team. Gronkowski has 11 touchdowns in 11 games against the Bills, including seven scores in six games in Buffalo. The big tight end also has five 100-yard games against Buffalo. He's coming off a two-TD performance against Miami and as long as he's not needed to provide extra help too often in pass protection should be in line for another big day against a lackluster Buffalo pass defense.
Stop the Bills stampede –The Bills want and need to run the football. They have the potential to get the job done, even if LeSean McCoy is averaging just 3.9 yards a carry on the season. New England's run defense got Malcom Brown back in the mix last week, helping the front hold an opponent to less than 100 yards on the ground for the first time in five games. Still, there are plenty of questions about the run defense's ability to be stout up the middle and solid on the edge. Beyond McCoy, the unit must deal with quarterback Tyrod Taylor's ability as a runner, the dual-threat having run for 300-plus yards, a 4.6-yard average and three touchdowns on the season. McCoy and Taylor are a dangerous running combination. The Patriots defense up front has been too porous. That's a bad combination for New England and could provide the opening Buffalo needs to keep the game competitive.
Right tackle, right approach – The Patriots are dealing with plenty of injuries, just like the rest of the league. Maybe the most pressing issue this week is the right tackle spot. Marcus Cannon was absent from the practice field once again and won't play in Buffalo. Veteran fill-in LaAdrian Waddle did not finish last week's game, was in a walking boot and was limited this week. Cameron Fleming gave up a sack on his first snap against Miami and is the third option at the position for a reason. If he has to start or even come on for Waddle for extended periods it could alter the way the Patriots approach things offensively. Brady has been hit too often. Dropping back behind Fleming and holding onto the ball regularly is probably not a good idea. The health at right tackle – and Brady getting hit eight times last week before missing practice for the second straight Wednesday – combined with the Bills allowing 4.1 yards per carry as a middling run defense could call for more running from the Patriots. Dion Lewis has done a nice job since taking over as the lead back, including his first 100-yard effort against Miami. The right tackle spot and finding the right (maybe balanced?) approach on offense will be key on Sunday afternoon. And if both teams use a run-heavy approach it will naturally keep the scoring down.
Ball security – The Bills have 12 interceptions on the season, tied for fifth-most in the NFL. They are tied for the fifth-most takeaways and are tied for sixth in turnover differential. When Buffalo is at its best the team is taking advantage of turnovers and taking care of the ball. Belichick emphasized his team's need to take care of the ball because beyond the running game, turnovers are the best way for the Bills to challenge New England. Now, the Patriots have played clean more often than not this fall. Last week's errant shotgun snap was more of an aberration, but ball security – including on special teams – must be a focal point.
Prediction: History says the Patriots will win in Buffalo. Vegas says the Patriots will win in Buffalo. Recent trends from the New England offense and defense say the Patriots will win in Buffalo. Yet injuries and depth issues for the visitors as well as some matchup concerns – Buffalo's ability to run vs. New England suspect run defense – point to the possibility that this AFC East contest could be a more competitive battle than some the Patriots recent matchups with the Dolphins, Raiders and Broncos. Still, Brady and Gronkowski's dominance in Buffalo should continue as both have been playing extremely well. Will Buffalo run for 150-plus yards? Maybe. But running alone isn't going to beat the Patriots. The Bills would also likely have to get a few turnovers or big plays in the kicking game. The guess is here is that those game-changing, upset-fueling issues never come to fruition for the home team. It may be a struggle. It may be in doubt in the second half. But New England will come away with a 24-20 victory to extend its winning streak, and its longstanding dominance over the Bills.

Prescription-only drugs being sold by online doctor sites (August 2018)
Some online doctor sites are selling prescription-only medications to potentially vulnerable patients, a BBC Panorama investigation has found.
Nikki, who suffered with addiction to prescription painkillers after an operation, and Eleanor who had anorexia as a teenager, were both able to buy prescription drugs online. Both women checked with their GPs before agreeing to help Panorama.
The Care Quality Commission, England's healthcare regulator, advises patients to only use sites that are registered with it.

not me
(thank god...)
I know the ESFj. SHe is an ESFj to a fault.
The guy is new (to me at least).
Demonstrates the Ij temperment pretty well.
Is not beta, is not ISTj.
I don't think he is Gamma ISFj, but I don't really know themtoo well.
Doesn't seem INFj
Seems a reasonable fit for INTj
Hmm..... ISFj seems possible now that I think of it.
Seems way to forward for an INTj... but then again, when I am comfortable I'm forward as well. But I don't sense from him. hmm... but then again, Fi via Se does somewhat make sense. I'll have to go over the profiles, etc. So advice or examples of ISFj in a relationship, especially with ESFjs, would be appreciated.
What I am concerned about is the ESFj trusting this person too much. She's shown remarkably bad judgment in the past, and alpha naivete about things. And now she seems to consult him for all heavy thinking. She's asking him how to write letters now..... it's justkind of distorbing.
The ESFj is happy very much in this relationship.... but she seems to be getting duller by the moment. Caring less and less about her shortcomings. This disturbs me greatly, as an INTj, an INTJ (especially), and someone who is concerned about the ESFj's being. It seems like she is interpreting the situation as duality or similar, but she is not beind dualized.... quite the opposite -- she is using this person as a cructh for her own development, and is purely focusing on regularing .
She seems to becoming more conceited in this way, which further disturbs me. Her relaitonships with other people are taking on a different tone, and to me it seems like what i mentioned above is influencing such. (Influencing things quite a bit). She is very very focused on her relationship, but I wonder if she is using it to 'not care' about other things as much.
Thoughts welcomed.

Colin Powell IVs: Fox News And ABC
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman For Immediate Release November 18, 2001
Secretary Of State Colin L. Powell On Fox News With Tony Snow
November 18, 2001
QUESTION: The Taliban on the run, al-Qaida on the defensive. What's next? We'll ask Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Joining us now, Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Secretary Powell, let's respond to the latest news. The Northern Alliance, I gather, actually has now agreed to hold meetings outside of Afghanistan to try to form a new government.
SECRETARY POWELL: Yes, Jim Dobbins, the United States ambassador to the Northern Alliance, who has been over there for the last several days, met with the foreign minister of the Northern Alliance in Tashkent.
And as a result of that meeting, the Northern Alliance has agreed that they would send representatives to a meeting chaired by the Mr. Brahimi, who is Secretary General Kofi Annan's representative for this matter. Now, where that meeting will be held is yet to be decided, but I'm very pleased that the Northern Alliance has now shown a willingness to participate in that meeting.
QUESTION: Any timetable on a meeting?
SECRETARY POWELL: As soon as possible, I'm quite sure is what Mr. Brahimi is hoping for, but I cannot give you a specific timetable. But I would hope it would be within days, not within weeks. We've got to get this moving. And the purpose of the meeting would be to bring together a number of leaders representing different parts of Afghanistan, different ethnicities, different tribes, and see if we can get an interim government in place and then stand up a broader government over time.
QUESTION: The Northern Alliance covers a lot of the northern tribes, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Hazara -- but, obviously, the Pashtun in the south may be the most important element to get in there. Do you have agreement now that there's going to be Pashtun cooperation?
SECRETARY POWELL: Yes. Mr. Brahimi has agreement that there will be Pashtun representatives at this meeting. The holdup has been the Northern Alliance and, with this announcement today, we should be able to move forward quickly.
QUESTION: There's been a lot of talk of the former King, Zahir Shah, heading up some sort of caretaker government. Is that still on the table?
SECRETARY POWELL: I think the King plays an important role, a symbolic role. I don't want to prejudge what the discussions might lead to, but it seems to me that his role would continue to be symbolic, as opposed to being the executive or the chief executive of the new government.
QUESTION: Now, there's been some skepticism in the past about the Northern Alliance. One of the reasons that we feared their setting up a government is they didn't have a whole lot of success the first time around. How are they behaving right now?
SECRETARY POWELL: Quite well. They have kept the bulk of their forces outside of Kabul, which is what we hoped they would do and asked them to do. They did send security forces into the city, and as a result of that, the city has been relatively calm compared to what happened last time they were in Kabul, and compared to what we thought might happen. So things are going rather well right now.
Mr. Rabbani went back into Kabul, but he made it clear that he was still supporting a broad-based government to be formed. He represents a minority of the Afghan people, and he understands that. And for us not to go back to the kind of Afghanistan we've seen in the past, we need this broad-based coalition, and I'm pleased that he understands that and wants to participate in the creation of this coalition.
QUESTION: Is it your sense now that the Taliban, the Afghan elements in the Taliban have, for the most part, fled and what remains are Arab fighters who are not themselves Afghan citizens?
SECRETARY POWELL: Yes. Arab fighters are the toughest, but there are still Taliban elements that are fighting in Kunduz, up in the north, as your reporter noted, as well as in Kandahar in the south. So this war is not over. It will continue for a while, until the Taliban power is totally cracked and other tribes in the south start to reassert control.
Let's also keep in mind that our political objective was to get al- Qaida, that terrorist network, and to get Usama bin Laden. So the United States' political objective and military objective will not be satisfied until we have done that in Afghanistan. And the broader strategic objective that President Bush had was to go after al-Qaida in all of the 50 countries it's located in around the world, each one of them capable of designing and executing a terrorist attack, and also to go after terrorism in general.
So let's not see this as all suddenly coming to an end. It's a long- term campaign against terrorism that will take years, and we'll stick with it.
QUESTION: Are we closing in on bin Laden?
SECRETARY POWELL: Well, a lot of reports suggest that his freedom to maneuver has become quite limited. And I don't think there's any country in the region that would be anxious to give him guest privileges if he showed up.
QUESTION: Do you think he's still in Afghanistan?
SECRETARY POWELL: I think he's still in Afghanistan, simply because I have seen no intelligence or information to suggest he has left Afghanistan, and I don't know of any country in the region that would be very anxious to see him arrive.
So I think he's still in Afghanistan, and it's getting harder for him to hide, as more and more territory is removed from Taliban control.
QUESTION: There's also word that al-Qaida fighters are actually turning on Taliban fighters. Is there some prospect that maybe some Taliban fighters may ultimately be the ones who point the finger at where bin Laden is?
SECRETARY POWELL: It could well be. There's quite a reward out there. And, as they start to realize that there is no future hanging around with either the al-Qaida organization or, for that matter, with the Taliban regime, it wouldn't surprise me to see some people start to make more informed choices about where their best interests lie.
QUESTION: Allied forces came across a safe house recently. It had a lot of evidence that there were some attempts to develop weapons of mass destruction. What do we think bin Laden has?
SECRETARY POWELL: I don't think he has a nuclear weapon. I think that's quite unlikely. And the material that we've seen in these safe houses certainly suggests that he was interested in one and they were moving in that direction, but it doesn't seem to me that we've seen anything that would suggest he had one or was close to having one.
QUESTION: Do we think he has radioactive material?
SECRETARY POWELL: I can't confirm that. I don't know. We are always interested in fissile material that might be loose or has gotten away from those nations that have such material. But I can't confirm that he ever got his hands on any.
QUESTION: All right. So, we should or should not worry about a dirty nuke?
QUESTION: You should always worry about someone who is trying to develop a nuclear device or dirty material to spread around or chemical or biological weapons. But at the moment, I don't think that Mr. bin Laden had reached that level of capability, with respect to nukes anyway.
QUESTION: Let us suppose Usama bin Laden somehow got out of Afghanistan, either into Pakistan or a neighboring country. Have we worked out arrangements with those governments that our forces could pursue him across borders?
SECRETARY POWELL: With the countries that you have identified, I'm quite confident that they would be more than anxious to detain him. If it's an element or a situation of hot pursuit, I'm sure we would coordinate with them if we were hot on his trail. But they have been very cooperative, and he is not going to find a safe haven in Pakistan or Uzbekistan or Tajikistan or Turkmenistan or Iran...
QUESTION: China?
SECRETARY POWELL: I don't even think in China. I mean, I don't think this fellow is going to be welcomed anywhere. He is an outcast. He is a murderer. He's a terrorist. The whole world recognizes that. And he is on the run, just as the President said he would be. And we will get him.
QUESTION: A story in today's Washington Post says that the Central Command, headed by General Tommy Franks, has to sign off on specific kinds of operations against the Taliban fighters and al-Qaida fighters and, as a consequence, on a number of occasions, the permission has returned to the region so late that they were not able to strike those targets. Is that how it ought to work?
SECRETARY POWELL: I can't talk to those stories because, although I used to be in that system, I'm not in the targeting system now. But, based on my experience, there was always creative discussion between the targeters and the lawyers and others when you go after targets. We are a nation of law. And we are also a nation that wants to minimize civilian casualties. So you always have these kinds of discussions.
But I'm quite confident that General Tommy Franks, a terrific commander who's done a great job, is able to resolve these matters in a way that is appropriate. And I'm also quite sure that Secretary Rumsfeld and his associates have been in a position to make determinations as well.
So I read the story, but I can't say much more about it except, these things go on. And you have a method to resolve any difficulties or differences with the commander, General Franks, who we have great confidence in, and Secretary Rumsfeld, who has great experience in these kinds of matters.
QUESTION: Has General Franks gotten a bad rap?
SECRETARY POWELL: Yes. I mean, two weeks ago everybody was beating up on Tommy. He's a great commander. But he didn't satisfy people two weeks ago. Now everything's falling in place. Such is the nature of celebrity life in Washington and in the United States.
QUESTION: Well, you're a celebrity. Tomorrow you're going to head to the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville and deliver a speech on the Middle East.
SECRETARY POWELL: Right.
QUESTION: The Administration's position is we would like to see a Palestinian state next to a safe and secure Israeli state. We don't have that right now. What does Yasser Arafat need to do?
SECRETARY POWELL: He needs to get the violence down. He needs to make a 100 percent effort to end all the violence. And we need to see results that reflect that 100 percent effort.
And in my speech tomorrow, I will lay out the vision that we have for the region, a vision of hope and promise. I will lay out what the United States is prepared to do to push this process forward. Both sides have to do certain things. And I hope it will be just a comprehensive statement.
I am not introducing a new plan. People keep asking for a new plan. We have a plan. It's a solid plan. It's called the Mitchell Committee Report. It leads to the kinds of negotiations that are required to settle these issues. But the only way you get to those negotiations is to enter the front door of the Mitchell Plan by getting the violence down. And until that happens, we're not going to go anywhere. And a new plan coming in from the flank isn't what's going to do it.
It's both sides working together, finding ways to talk to each other, so that we can get a real cease-fire in place. And we can use that cease- fire to start rebuilding trust and confidence, get openings in the region so people can go back and forth and get to their jobs. And when you start to build that level of trust, then you're on your way to the negotiations called for in the Mitchell Plan.
QUESTION: It's our position that Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, HAMAS and a number of other organizations are terrorist outfits.
SECRETARY POWELL: We have so identified them.
QUESTION: Yasser Arafat has talked about forming a coalition government with them. Should it be incumbent on him to go back on that proposal and say, no, no, no, and make them outcasts also in his midst?
SECRETARY POWELL: Well, we think that these organizations have been so identified, as you described them. And we deal with the Palestinian Authority. And any coalition that brings into that coalition the sorts of organizations that practice those kinds of activities, we would have to take, you know, a dim view of that.
QUESTION: The State Department also has taken a pretty dim view of their operations, those organizations in Syria. Is Syria a potential target in the future if it does not go ahead and try to go after at least a dozen identified terrorist groups that are operating freely out of Damascus?
SECRETARY POWELL: I met with the Syrian foreign minister last week in New York at the United Nations General Assembly. And we had a very straightforward, you know, three-feet-apart, eyeball-to-eyeball talk. And I said, terrorism is terrorism. And terrorism masquerading as freedom fighters who go out and kill innocent people are not freedom fighters; they're terrorists.
And in order for us to move forward in our relationship -- the United States and Syria -- and to get the past behind us to see if that's what you want to do, you have to recognize that we will not ignore this kind of activity that is sponsored or supported by Syria or finds a safe haven in Syria. So we've had some rather direct conversations with the Syrians. They have said and done some things and have cooperated with us recently that suggest that they're looking for a better relationship with the United States, and maybe there are opportunities here that we can now explore.
QUESTION: You also have shaken hands with Iran's foreign minister. The Iranian people like us; the government does not. Do you think that government is going to fall sometime?
SECRETARY POWELL: I have no way of knowing. And the government really has two parts to it, really.
QUESTION: An elected part and then you've got the mullahs.
SECRETARY POWELL: You have the religious leader, Mr. Khamenei, and then Mr. Khatami, the president. And clearly there's tension between those two elements of the Iranian political leadership. And you can just see the Iranian people bubbling, wanting more freedom, wanting more access to what the 21st-century world offers to people who are ready to come out and play in the 21st-century world. And so, hopefully, we can explore new opportunities with the Iranians as well.
But we have no illusions about the nature of that regime. It has not meant us well. And it is developing weapons of mass destruction that cause us a great deal of concern. And the Iranian foreign minister and I were together last week at a meeting on Afghanistan. And it was the same morning that we lost the airplane, the American Airlines airliner, coming out of Kennedy. And he gave a very gracious statement of condolences to the American people and to those who lost their lives. I thanked him and shook his hand to express my appreciation for his message of condolence.
QUESTION: The Russians just sold nuclear plant technology to the Iranians. I think that probably violates the Iran Nonproliferation Act. That law calls for the United States to impose sanctions on companies that do the sales. Are we going to do that?
SECRETARY POWELL: We are in constant discussions with the Russians with respect to their cooperation with the Iranians and their sale of power plant components to the Iranians and other things they sell to the Iranians. We have had rather tense discussions with the Russians, and we made it clear to them that anything that leads to the ability of the Iranians to develop any weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver them, the United States will find it as very, very troubling, and it will affect our relationship. The Russians have responded that they understand that and they are not making those kinds of sales.
So, we are still in discussions with the Russians on this one. There is nothing to be invoked at the moment. But it has been a consistent element in our discussions.
QUESTION: Okay. A couple of very quick questions. One, are we about to give the Russians a six-month notification on the ABM Treaty?
SECRETARY POWELL: We will continue having discussions with the Russians with respect to the ABM Treaty and missile defense. What they know is that the President is totally committed to developing a limited missile defense system that does not threaten Russian strategic offensive weapons. And we will continue to discuss that.
But they know that, sooner or later, the testing that we have to do will run into the constraints of the ABM Treaty and when that happens, we have got to get out of the constraints of the ABM Treaty.
QUESTION: Within the next year?
SECRETARY POWELL: The good news -- I don't want to give a specific time, I'll leave that with Mr. Rumsfeld.
The good news out of the meetings last week was that the President gave to the Russians a new strategic offensive number that will reduce our strategic offensive weapons by two-thirds over the level we now have, and about 40 percent below what the START II Treaty called for. And we expect the Russians in the very near future to respond to that with a number that is in that same range of 1,700 to 2,200 or something around that range.
And so the good news is that these two nations, who used to keep 10- 15,000 weapons, strategic weapons, pointed at each other, have now got it down to somewhere under 2,000, with an opportunity to build transparency, build confidence-building measures as to where those weapons are, what they might be available for. And this shows the strength of the new relationship that is developing between the United States and Russia.
QUESTION: Let me try to get a yes or no out of you on this one. There's a report that the Taliban in Kunduz may be ready to surrender. Should we accept that?
SECRETARY POWELL: I can't confirm that. If they're ready to surrender, then one has to let somebody surrender who intends to surrender.
QUESTION: Okay. I think I understand that. (Laughter.) Secretary of State Colin Powell, thank you.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman For Immediate Release November 19, 2001
Interview Of Secretary Of State Colin L. Powell On ABC's "This Week"
November 18, 2001
QUESTION: (In progress) happen next in Afghanistan. And what about Usama bin Laden? A short time ago, Secretary of State Colin Powell joined us to answer those questions and others.
Thanks so much for being here this morning, Mr. Secretary.
SECRETARY POWELL: Good morning, Cokie.
QUESTION: We've heard that the hunt for Usama is getting closer. Is that the case? Are we about to get him?
SECRETARY POWELL: Well, I think his options are being narrowed. As more and more of the country is released from Taliban domination, he has fewer and fewer places in which to hide. We think he's still in Afghanistan. There aren't many countries around Afghanistan which would welcome him at the moment, or for that matter, any country in the world, with one or two exceptions, that would welcome him.
So I think, as the President has always said, the noose is getting tighter. We're going to get him out of his hole sooner or later, but we'll get him.
QUESTION: We heard David Wright say that he has found evidence in those safe houses of some link to September 11th. They have also seen in those houses evidence of looking at bombs. Do you think Usama has a bomb?
SECRETARY POWELL: I have no reason to believe that he has a nuclear weapon. There's no doubt that he would like to have had one, and I'm sure they were trying to see what they could do to bring the components together to produce one. But based on what I've seen so far, it's most unlikely that he had one or was anywhere near getting one.
QUESTION: Now, Usama is -- the American people see very strongly as a sign that we've won if we get Usama bin Laden. But the news of the past week is sounding like the war is getting won. Is it effectively won?
SECRETARY POWELL: One part of the conflict, I think, is moving along rather well, and that is to get the Taliban regime out of power and to make it much more difficult for the al-Qaida network to function in Afghanistan. We're not going to lose sight of the objective of destroying the al-Qaida organization in Afghanistan and getting Usama bin Laden.
But as the President has said from the very beginning, our campaign is much broader than that. We want to go after al-Qaida wherever it exists in the world. And it is in some 50 countries, and any one of those cells in those 50 countries could be planning a terrorist operation right now during this Ramadan season.
And so we're not going to lose sight of that objective, and we're not going to lose sight of the broader objective that the President put before the American people and put before the world that has brought this coalition together, is that we're going after terrorism around the world.
And so this is the beginning -- a successful beginning, I believe -- of a very long campaign. And we have to be patient, we have to be persistent, and at the end, I'm confident we will prevail under the President's leadership.
QUESTION: I want to come back to that in a minute, but I want to stay in Afghanistan for a couple more minutes.
In terms of what's happening there on the ground in the fighting, there are reports today that there's a CIA paramilitary force in there. Are they -- first of all, is that true? And secondly, what role are they playing?
SECRETARY POWELL: Well, I don't want to confirm what the CIA does or does not do. Let me just say that they have been doing some rather splendid work with respect to our activities in Afghanistan, working alongside our military forces that are inside in Afghanistan that we've reported on rather extensively.
I think we've got a very fine linkup between our intelligence assets, our military assets, all within the framework of a good political- military strategy. And it's now starting to show rather significant results.
QUESTION: Now, there are those who say that the diplomacy is behind the military action. And you've had the return of a former Afghan leader, Rabbani, coming in, talks about a meeting coming up this coming week, maybe in Europe, of various Afghan factions. Is that going to happen? And what is the significance?
SECRETARY POWELL: We think the diplomacy is catching up with the rapid pace of military operations. United States Ambassador Jim Dobbins, who is our Special Envoy to the region, and to work with the Northern Alliance, had a meeting this morning in Tashkent with the Foreign Minister of the Northern Alliance, Mr. Abdullah.
And Mr. Abdullah has agreed on behalf of the Northern Alliance to send Northern Alliance representatives to a meeting that's being convened by Mr. Brahimi, the Secretary General of the United Nations' representative on these matters.
Now, where that meeting will be held is still being debated. And the purpose of that meeting is to bring together the factions as quickly as possible so that as quickly as possible we can create an interim government that can go in and begin to take administrative control in Kabul, and then over a longer period of time, you create a more comprehensive, broad-based government.
QUESTION: And while that --
SECRETARY POWELL: So things are now starting to move on the diplomatic front rather well.
QUESTION: And while that interim government is in place, does that require peacekeepers on the ground, including US peacekeepers?
SECRETARY POWELL: It may well require some military presence on the ground, if that seems to be appropriate, both in order to bring in humanitarian supplies, or for the purpose of just providing a level of stability in the towns that are being liberated.
And I think we'll have to make a judgment on each of those places as we go forward. In Mazar-e-Sharif, coalition forces are coming in. That's the town in the north that was the first one that was liberated. And they have come in, really, to help with the delivery of humanitarian supplies and provide more security in that region so that the nongovernmental workers and human rights workers and humanitarian workers and UN workers can get in to deliver food.
QUESTION: One of the extraordinary things that happened over this weekend was the First Lady giving the radio address and talking about the women of Afghanistan. And you have issued a State Department white paper on that subject which says -- and we're going to put it up here -- "The Afghan people want, and the US Government supports, a broad- based representative government which includes women in post-Taliban Afghanistan."
Does that mean the United States says to Afghanistan, you must include women in your government?
SECRETARY POWELL: We will say to the Afghan leaders that if you truly want a representative government that will be respected in the eyes of the world and that reflects the aspirations of all the Afghan people, you have to include women in this political structure.
Now, this, I think, can be done. There are Afghan women who are more than able to contribute to such a government. And we're not going to dictate what they do with their government. It has to come out of the Afghan people.
But we hope they will realize, having gotten rid of the Taliban, having gotten rid of these deprivations and these degradations that they were putting on women and against women, it is now time to allow women to participate more fully in Afghan society, and that includes the political structure of a future Afghan government.
QUESTION: Now, there are those who say this is all part of a propaganda ploy -- and you do have a new office of public diplomacy -- but there are those who say no propaganda will work unless the Middle East, Palestinian-Israeli situation is solved.
You're making a major speech tomorrow. You're expected to talk about this issue. We hear that you're going to say that -- you're going to waive the seven days of no violence before the Mitchell Plan goes into effect. Is that the case?
SECRETARY POWELL: Well, the two are not that directly linked. Usama bin Laden tried to steal the Palestinian issue, but he failed, and Chairman Arafat said clearly he wants no part of bin Laden and considers him an outcast.
QUESTION: What about the --
SECRETARY POWELL: With respect to the Middle East, I will be making a speech tomorrow. I will lay out a vision that the United States has, and I believe the international community has, for settlement --
QUESTION: And will you waive the seven days?
SECRETARY POWELL: I'll get to that. I didn't impose the seven days, so therefore I can't waive it. We'll have to see how Mr. Sharon reacts to my speech and what other actions he might take.
What Mr. Sharon has said -- and he was the one who said he needed seven days of quiet before he would be in a position to participate in discussions with the Palestinian side -- Mr. Sharon is determined to bring the violence down. He was brought into office on the basis of security for the Israeli people.
And so we are in a delicate situation right now, and I hope that my statement tomorrow will lay out what the United States believes, our vision, a comprehensive statement of our vision. No new plans are coming. We have a plan. It's a plan that works, the Mitchell Plan. And what we have to do is to get the two sides talking to each other, security officials to security officials, in order to get a cease-fire in place.
With that cease-fire in place, lots of things happen quickly, leading to negotiations.
QUESTION: Now, does that mean no conditions for going to the Mitchell Plan?
SECRETARY POWELL: The United States is not in a position to impose upon either of the two sides specific conditions. We can encourage them. Israel is a democratic nation, freely elected leaders, that makes their judgment. We can encourage, we can prod both sides, and Mr. Arafat, as the leader of the Palestinian Authority.
We do encourage and prod both sides to move both of them in a direction where we can get the violence down, confidence built back up between them, trust restored, so that we can start into the Mitchell Plan and get to negotiations, which is the sole purpose of the Mitchell Plan.
QUESTION: But Mr. Secretary you've been saying that since the first interview we had here in February.
SECRETARY POWELL: And I'm sorry, it hasn't changed since the first interview I gave in February. The violence has continued. It's time to bring an end to the violence. And until that violence is ended, we're not going to get forward movement into the Mitchell Plan.
QUESTION: Thank you. Thank you so much for being with us, Secretary Powell.
SECRETARY POWELL: Thank you, Cokie.

Tecrostar can provide you with an estimate of the cost of assembly that depends largely on the distance between the assembly team and the installation site and the type of service hired (prior visit and measuring, delivery service and transport of goods to the site).
In any case, this estimate must be agreed between the client and the fitter.
The mezzanine floors are packed and shipped by an external agency in a lorry provided with a lifting platform, so that the boxes can be unloaded on the ground. The order will be delivered at street level to the address specified by the customer.
If there are access restrictions, there could be additional costs due to the necessity of transferring the merchandise to a smaller vehicle.
In order to deliver mezzanines XL, the delivery location should be accessible to a truck/long trailer (maximum mass admitted up to 36t). Should you think there is any kind of restriction, please contact us. The customer should take care of the merchandise unloading process. That unloading should be made from the lateral sides of the truck (this kind of truck does not have a back liftgate). We deliver the product packed with pallets at the bottom, so its unloading should be made preferably with a forklift.
Don't be alarmed by the total weight of the product, the components are light and manageable, so you can move them easily and take them up in the lift.The heaviest components are the primary beams from the L Range (39 kg), the rest of the ranges are considerably lighter (12kg).The floor panels are very light and fit in any lift. No component is more than 2.4m long and therefore, fits in most lifts.
However, it is important to mention that in the case of the XL range, some components may be a little heavier.

Arrests of opposition leaders in Tanzania, Uganda and Ivory Coast
The authorities in Uganda, Tanzania, and the Ivory Coast are arresting the opposition leaders amid the elections' disputes. In Uganda, a popular reggae singer, Bobi Wine, was arrested just after being certified as a candidate for the elections. The current president, Yoweri Museveni, has been in power since 1986 and has just changed the constitution that now allows him to run for the office despite his old age. A wave of detentions of opposition leaders occurred in Tanzania after they called for mass protests over allegedly rigged elections. The U.S. ambassador in the country urged the Tanzanian government to cease the arrests. Prosecutors from Ivory Coast indicted opposition leaders with terrorism charges after they boycotted elections on 31st October, in which the current president, Alassane Ouattara, was elected for the third term. Ouattara claims that approval of a new constitution in 2016 restarted his mandate and therefore he could run despite the two-terms constitutional limit.
Iraqi president, Barham Saleh, has ratified the new election law that aims at providing independent candidates with a better chance of winning seats in the parliament. It comes in response to the ongoing protests in the country. People demand the government to end corruption and hold early elections.
