Atmospheric Conditions :
The moon has very thin atmosphere,So a large,of dust or a footprint can remain undisturbed for centuries. temperature varies at moon. On day time temperature reach 134 Celsius and -153 Celsius on dark side.
Gravitation :
The gravitation pull of the moon cause,rise and fall of the tides in sea levels high tides results on the side of earth nearest the moon dues to gravity,and it also happens on the side farthest from the moon due to inertia of water. low tides occur between these two homps. the gravitation pull of the moon is also slowing the earth's rotation,the moon,Earth and sun are in a straight line during eclipse.A Lunar eclipse can occur only during a full moon .
Dark Side of Moon :
There are so many mysteries about the dark side of moon,several photographs of dark side of moon have been reported by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration ) claims the suspected movement of aliens. But not sure this is still controversial.

NEW HHS Program Partners with Health Centers to Expand Access to HIV Prevention Medication
On Thursday, December 3, 2019, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched Ready, Set, PrEP, a national program that makes medications for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), taken daily to prevent HIV, available at no cost to people without prescription drug insurance coverage.
HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration's Health Center program will support Ready, Set, PrEP by working closely with healthcare professionals at more than 12,000 service sites and 1,400 health centers nationwide.
Although more than one million people at risk for HIV in the United States could benefit from PrEP medications, only a small fraction get them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend PrEP for individuals at risk of acquiring HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at reducing an individual's risk of acquiring HIV.
Ready, Set, PrEP is a key component of the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) initiative. EHE aims to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the United States by 75% in five years and by 90% in 10 years. By increasing awareness of PrEP and its access, the Ready, Set, PrEP program can provide thousands of people a safe, effective way to prevent HIV and bring our nation one step closer to ending the HIV epidemic.
"PrEP is highly effective in preventing HIV infection when taken as directed," said Assistant Secretary for Health Brett P. Giroir, M.D. "It is a critical tool for ending the HIV epidemic, but to make an impact it has to be available for people who need it most. Ready, Set, PrEP will increase access to this effective and preventive drug for people at risk."
To qualify for Ready, Set, PrEP, people must test negative for HIV, have a valid prescription for the medications, and not have prescription drug coverage. All medications are fully covered for qualifying participants; however, the costs of necessary clinic visits and lab tests may vary depending on an individual's income. People can find out if they qualify by visiting GetYourPrEP.com or calling toll-free 855-447-8410.
Qualifying individuals can visit North End Waterfront Health (NEWH) to receive PrEP services, however, prescriptions cannot be filled in-house. Prescriptions can be filled at CVS or Walgreens. For more health and wellness information, visit our website, www.newhealthcenter.org.

Answer by Koch regarding the different Mediabooks:Will the Mediabooks differ (form and size) from each other like it was with "Suspiria", does anybody know?
This will have German and Korean Audio in DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 and German subtitles.Wonder if this release will have English subtitles and or Audio. Was reading the French steel has no English subtitles.
Thanks. I'm not sure if there is an English dubbing I just presumed so. USA is getting a bluray only. Would love to find a 4k disc with English subs, if it exists.This will have German and Korean Audio in DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 and German subtitles.
Is there even an English dubbing for this movie?
Koch Media > Filme > 4K Ultra HD - Film > Parasite (Mediabook A, UHD, Blu-ray, Bonus-Blu-ray)Parasite (Mediabook A, UHD, Blu-ray, Bonus-Blu-ray), 1041036,4K Ultra HD - Film, Nach dem Gewinn der Goldenen Palme in Cannes ist der neue Film von Bong Joon Ho (SNOWPIERCER, OKJA) der bestbesprochene Film 2019 und klarer Oscar®-Favorit.shop.kochmedia.com
Little off topic, but the UK gets their theatrical release of Parasite on February 7th, so hopefully they'll announce an English friendly version around that time (or get the US Blu-ray, released tomorrow)
The Suspiria (Capelight G1) release was also a Koch-Films- release. Both labels and "Amazon Studios" were involved in this release. I think the only difference is the manufacturing-style and that the other G2 release is from "Koch-Media" and not from "Koch-Films".Answer by Koch regarding the different Mediabooks:
This will be analog to the "Suspiria" release, but this time both will be released by Koch. Type A will have G2 Blu-ray height with a thick spine. Type B will have the Capelight measurements (G1) like all the Capelight Mediabooks released over the past years.

------- View attachment 460480
Ditto. As much as I love the look of these, I can't justify buying them just for the packaging, since the non-English friendly discs would be useless to me. I did originally pre-order both, but eventually came to my senses and cancelled them... mainly just because I'm broke right now and can't afford them, but still lol.I badly need an English version!! Outer design looks amazing, but I'd only ever buy it in English (or Korean, even though I can't read Korean, I don't mind having stuff in original language)
I don`t like the thick spine, but they have cool covers on almost every edition. The best ones are The Sect, Prison, The Way of the Gun (with thinner spine) and Ambulance I think.I ordered the A cover, because I was never a big fan of the G1 books.... G1 size has nothing to do with the Blu-ray format in my opinion... So I'm happy they offer two different covers in two different sizes!
Thanks, looks nice! It's cover B, though, not A.Unboxing video (Cover A):
Ooops!Thanks, looks nice! It's cover B, though, not A.
This will probably the one to go for for me, but will wait for a price drop.

Boss Battle: Tackle the Zeus Thunder Thighs!
The mighty god of thunder has some pretty powerful thighs on him. These intense thunder thighs are the things many gamers dream to have in their fit lifestyles, but getting them can be harder than fighting Zeus himself. Even though they can take time and dedication to get, having muscle toned thunder thighs are well worth the work. We are here to give you some tips on how to take on your boss battle to get thunder thighs!
Thunder Thighs Boss Battle: Prepare for War
An important part of any work out and body building endeavor is to make sure that your body is prepared for the work that you are about to put it through. Running your body through an intensive workout without preparing it is likely to lead you to discomfort, pain, and even injury. Even the mighty Kratos likely had to build his way up to the power house he is today.
So how can you prepare yourself for a boss battle with, or to get, thunder thighs? First, be sure you get plenty of sleep. Working out with a tired mind and tired muscles can cause you to wear down faster and lose more energy. Second, make sure you are properly hydrated so that your muscles can get the moisture and oxygen that they need to keep going. Third, be sure to stretch before your workout. Proper stretching will loosen up your muscles so they are not tight while you are trying to work them. While these may seem like small and simple things, it is good to know the basics before charging into any boss battle.
Thunder Thighs Boss Battle: Cardio Paralysis
If you are wanting to bulk up your thunder thighs, then cardio may not be the best route to take. There have been numerous suggestions that cardio actually makes legs thinner, even though it does have it's benefits in other exercise areas. That being said, cardio could be a set back to the thunder thighs boss battle, unless you're trying to get rid of them of course.
However, this doesn't mean that cardio has to be cut out completely. If you're an avid runner who wants to build some bulk in your thighs, then you can still run. All you have to do is cut back on how much or how often you take your runs. Doing this, you can also shift your focus to other exercises that will increase the amount of muscle that your legs have.
Thunder Thighs Boss Battles: Bring the Thunder
Working hard at your workouts can greatly help your thunder thighs boss battle. Squats, weight machine workouts, lunges, and other common leg work outs can be bolstered when working out hard. When you work out, be sure to do plenty of reps of whatever work out you are doing.
Even though pushing your body is helpful, it can still be harmful if you go too far. Be sure to constantly keep track of how your body is feeling, and stop if you are feeling unwell. Up your reps slowly and don't suddenly give your body multiple reps at once. One way to up your reps is increase them by five each week. It is also good to not exercise every single day, doing this can increase your likeliness to get injured.
Thunder Thighs Boss Battle: Buddy Up
Kratos may have not had many friends at his side, but Zeus had plenty of other gods to depend on to fight. Many workouts follow a similar theme, and there are enough of them out there for there to be something for everyone. With that being said, it can be an excellent idea to bring a friend, or two or more, with you in order to bolster motivation for your thunder thighs battle.
Sometimes it is the little things that can help tip a battle. Having a friend with you can do many things. First, it can boost your mentality about the workout, giving you support and encouragement as you go on. Second, it gives you someone to watch your back in case you take on more than you can handle. Having someone there to both support and keep an eye on you can make a real change to your workout. Not only that, but it will also make your workout fun and more enjoyable.
Thunder Thighs Boss Battle: Final Words
Boss battles can be a tricky thing, and thunder thighs are no exception. While this list does not encompass everything, it does offer suggestions to help you get on with your boss battle and tackle the challenges that the workouts throw your way.

Lawsuit alleges faulty building materials from 2 Pa. companies spread Grenfell fire
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — While the flames quickly raced up the exterior of the 24-story Grenfell Tower in June 2017, a lawsuit claims the sparks began in Pennsylvania.
Two Pennsylvania-based companies have been blamed for the deadly London fire, which killed 72 people and injured 177 others. A Philadelphia law firm recently filed a wrongful death and products liability lawsuit against them, alleging they sold defective building materials to renovate the residential building.
"The cause and origin of the deadly spread of this fire were the decisions made by Pennsylvania corporations regarding products that they now have withdrawn from the market, because of their dangerous, defective and flammable nature," said attorney Robert Mongeluzzi.
The two companies cited in the lawsuit say Pittsburgh-based Arconic supplied cladding for the tower's exterior panels, and Celotex, based in Malvern, manufactured the building's insulation.
The suit also names Whirlpool, the Michigan-based supplier of the Hotpoint refrigerator that was found to have likely started the fire on the fourth floor of Grenfell.
Mongeluzzi's colleague, attorney Jeffrey Goodman, said those materials "turned the Grenfell Tower into a cylinder of fire, which entrapped the victims."
Lawyers for the nearly 250 plaintiffs — survivors and families of victims of the fatal fire — pointed out that the type of cladding used on Grenfell's exterior is banned from use on residential high-rises taller than 40 feet in the U.S. because it is flammable. Grenfell was more than 200 feet high.
At the briefing, Cleveland attorney Mark DiCello, who, like the Mongeluzzi law firm, has also handled major personal injury cases, held up two pieces of cladding tiles.
"They look the same, they weigh the same, but one has a flame retardant mineral core," he explained. "The other has a flammable polyethylene core."
When Grenfell Tower was renovated, DiCello said Arconic sold the cheaper version to the building. According to DiCello, Arconic withdrew that type of cladding from the global marketplace less than two weeks after the Grenfell fire.
While the flames quickly raced up Grenfell Tower in London, the wrongful death lawsuit claims the spark began in Pa, according to @BobMongeluzzi. @SMBBlaw contends @Arconic (Pittsburgh) and @Celotex (Malvern) sold "dangerous, defective & flammable nature" building materials. pic.twitter.com/HEp7h3mHSC— Steve Tawa (@stevetawa) June 11, 2019
Mongeluzzi said Pennsylvania law does not provide a specific amount of compensatory or punitive damages.
"That is within the jury's discretion," he noted, "using their common sense as to how they value lives and pain and suffering."
Mongeluzzi added this civil lawsuit will not affect any parallel government or criminal investigations into the Grenfell Tower tragedy, which he said run on totally different tracks.

"All Chinese people know martial arts."—Count D, Pet Shop of Horrors.
In Japanese media, an unusually high percentage of Chinese people will know a martial art, from the harsh, half-senile Old Master, to the petite young woman. It will always be a form of Kung Fu, never a Japanese style. Just as the Badass Spaniard isn't necessarily from Spain, in some works all Chinese people may know Kung-Fu because they belong to a fictional version of Chinese culture based on this stereotype. Regardless, it's not unusual for this trope to involve some sort of Chinese rival or Chinese rival team. If you're lucky, this will lead to a scene where Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting.
The prevalence of this trope can likely be explained by the Japanese people's fondness for the martial arts action of modern Hong Kong cinema, and of ancient Chinese classics such as Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Consequently, characters falling under this trope often contain references to Hong Kong action stars.
All Asians Know Martial Arts is the equivalent of this in Western media, and is about how Westerners view Asians. In contrast, this trope is about how Japanese (one Asian group) view Chinese (another Asian group).
In Real Life, Chinese will refer to a person's ability in any human endeavour as "Gung Fu," not just martial arts. So it's quite technically true... That said, do not antagonize anyone who is praised as having good Wu Gong as they will be real life examples of this trope.
Anime and Manga
- Count D in Pet Shop of Horrors pulls this trope on (blond) LA cop Leon Orcot after performing an impossible leap (he's not entirely human.) "All Chinese people know martial arts." It's not the first or the last thing he blames on being Chinese, either. To give Leon credit, he knows perfectly well that D is bullshitting him outrageously. There just isn't much he can do about it except grumble.
- Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten are martial artists who take the position of "Chinese" rival team in Naruto. While there is no actual "China" (or the equivalent) in Naruto, the trio all use fighting styles based on various Chinese martial arts.
- Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star.
- Shaman King has Ren Tao as the Chinese rival.
- In Cardcaptor Sakura, Li Syaoran is a Chinese martial artists who takes the position of Chinese rival.
- Ranma One Half: Shampoo and all Chinese amazons know martial arts or Martial Arts and Crafts and take up as a rival to Akane and other Haremettes.
- MS Saga has Li Fang a Chinese ex-waitress Martial Arts master mobile suit pilot who uses a Gun Cannon (a normally ranged only suit) with martial arts moves... later upgrades to Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Burning Gundam a true melee suit.
- Mobile Fighter G Gundam has Neo Hong Kong's Master Asia an expert in martial arts who was The Master then The Rival to Domon. (his name is literally "Master")
- Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's Chang Wu Fei a martial arts master who uses the Shenlong Gundam and later Altron which primarily uses a pike in a Chinese style.
- Negima's Ku Fei and Chao Linshen, Ku Fei is from southern china and Chao is from northern this is reflected in their styles The former takes up the role as The Master to Negi while the later takes up as the Big Bad for a little while then The Mentor when she leaves.
- Miss China (yes, indeed...) from Spirit of Wonder. Combines with Tsundere for lots of property damage.
- Amusingly invoked in Darker Than Black. Kenji comments that "it's true that all Chinese people are martial artists" after seeing a waiter dealing with unruly customer (and feigning weakness at that). Also, pretty much every Contractor of Chinese ancestry on the show is a good fighter in addition to their powers, which isn't true of Contractors from other backgrounds.
- The Xingese are a whole Fantasy Counterpart Culture based on this in Fullmetal Alchemist. All the Xingese characters are proficient in martial arts (although this is justified considering all of them are either royals or royals' retainers).
- Hong Long (but not his mistress Liu Mei) from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Video Games
- Chun Li from Street Fighter II fights with a primarily kicking style that doesn't precisely correlate to anything, but is officially described as a combination of chinese martial arts. Also Fei Long, the series' Bruce Lee clone.
- Dragon Chan and Hoy Quarlow of the SNES Super Punch-Out!!, the former also appearing in the arcade Super Punch-Out!!. Incidentally, both sport Kung Fu moves, in a boxing game.
- Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears, a tribute to Jet Li's Wong Fei Fong character from Once Upon a Time in China.

Pencil. Signed de Lempicka at the lower left.236 x 142 mm. (9 1/4 x 5 5/8 in.)ENQUIRE
Tamara da Lempicka's studies of female nudes were strongly influenced by the figure style of her teacher André Lhote. Datable to around 1923, the present sheet may have been drawn from a posed model in Lhote's studio on the rue de Départ in Paris. The drawing may tentatively be related to a small painting of a similarly posed female nude, also seen from below and wearing a necklace, in a private collection.

Logic says it must be Frankie! Jockey to partner red-hot favourite Logician in £700,000 St Leger at Doncaster
- Bookmakers could be crushed by a Frankie Dettori-inspired Classic avalanche
- Sponsors William Hill make Logician the evens favourite in the £700,000 race
- Victory would be Dettori's sixth in the St Leger after money-spinning summer
Bookmakers could be crushed under a Frankie Dettori-inspired Classic avalanche when the Italian partners red-hot favourite Logician in this Saturday's £700,000 St Leger at Doncaster.
Sponsors William Hill make Logician evens favourite, while rival firm Coral predict the son of Frankel is likely to start odds-on as punters try to cash in again on Dettori's money-spinning summer.
Victory would be Dettori's sixth in the St Leger, as well as his 15th Group One win of the season.
Frankie Dettori partners red-hot favourite Logician in this Saturday's £700,000 St Leger
John Gosden believes Logician's Dettori-influenced odds are too short for a colt with so little experience, but the trainer admits his win in the Voltigeur at York last month was impressive.
'He came to us late but has been a lovely progressive horse with a great attitude,' said Gosden. 'He does fit the Leger bill but he is not that experienced.
'The big long straight will suit him and I am sure the pace will be testing. The big question is the trip. He is not guaranteed to get it. Frankel never went beyond a mile and a quarter. It is the last 115 yards which catches them out. I'd be confident up to one mile, six furlongs.'
There was betting support for Aidan O'Brien's Chester Vase winner Sir Dragonet yesterday but like Martyn Meade's Geoffrey Freer Stakes winner Technician, the fast ground hardly aids his case, while the suspicion is that honest gallopers Sir Ron Priestley and Nayef Road lack the quality of the unbeaten Logician who could be an even bigger player next season.
The quick ground ruled Dee Ex Bee out of Friday's Doncaster Cup won by Dettori and Gosden with 1-9 favourite Stradivarius, who extended his winning sequence to 10 races.
William Hill make Logician favourite as punters cash in on Dettori's money-spinning summer
Victory made him the first horse to win the stayers' Triple Crown — Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup and Doncaster Cup — since Double Trigger in 1995.
Making Stradivarius a three-time Ascot Gold Cup winner next season will be the main aim but this time next year we may be talking about him as a Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe contender.
Dettori said: 'He has one more gear than the rest.'
Dettori also won the five-furlong Flying Childers Stakes on Simon Crisford-trained A'Ali. Arguably, the fastest British two-year-old of 2019, A'Ali heads to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Santa Anita in November.

How this woman turned gaming into a full-time job How this woman turned gaming into a full-time jobAlso, we are so far from the circle. I'm going to start running in and Robin Lee. My twitch name is Hive Queen yeah I was actually a teacher teaching full-time and being in a different country. It can be kind of difficult, so my husband suggested. Will you play a lot of games anyway? Why don't you try streaming? You might be able to make some friends that way. We wasn't looking at the direction that I was going. I thought it was just going to be like a hobby. You know something that I would do occasionally and I just loved it so much, and I found myself screaming more and more hours.
The way that I knew that I could do this as a full-time thing is because I was able to match what I was making at my current job as a teacher financially in my string breath of the wild while ago. My name is Christian McPherson and I go by cab, Mac rocket launcher they're having a build battle. Where am I going? I'M almost level 19. It'S a video game charity, basically a marathon for 24 hours in every November for Children's Miracle Network hospitals like they need a new m time machine for the kids at Shields and they're going to get it if they need to start new programs with the Child Life Program, you know our donor dollars are going to do that.
Thank you all. So much for being here, I'm joined today by the wonderful Ashe. Ask you guys a few questions today afternoon. It'S a middle of a day, but you're here will what brought you here got me out of a really depressive episode and she's one who got me into streaming and is just an overall amazing and wholesome kind. Human being and mama says it's funny in here, and I see Ghost says Robin streams are so positive: the community, the giggles. So many things. What is an incentive to pay somebody that you're watching you explain why you would pay Robin the support we like what she does in the environment she creates.
Also, sometimes you can scare her yeah. You can do different, like alert animations for different donations. Okay, they're. Just doing good OKC, that's what I was saying about this carolers. Do you have serious conversations? Is it right here? We always have important conversations streaming of the great opportunity for that and we have like invited people into our Discord channel. So we can all speak together on voice chat and you know we will have a topic and people can come and talk to me and talk to each other about that and people create genuine friendships and relationships.
Here it's a really great family and whenever people ask why you love coming to my stream, they always mention the community. So it's not just me it's bigger than me now. It'S all of us where we headed is it to watch a video of it later on yea things are finally starting to forget what it is versus just playing games with my computer Dyson cool wrap up I'm down. Thank you so much lie. Thank you for just like hanging out with me and fight with. You is great to get to know you a little bit of fun.
Robin Lee is a professional streamer on the online gaming platform Twitch. With more than 18,000 followers from around the world, she makes as much money as she did teaching in South Korea.

With his personal life all but flushed down some deep dark hole, Chief Inspector Roberts is waiting for the next punch to the heart. Working with his Irish partner, Detective Sergeant Brant, in a London precinct so dangerous even the pit bulls travel in pairs, Roberts is prepared for almost anything—just not the murder of his sad and wasted transient brother, Tony.
The thug responsible for it is an ex-con named Logan who's established himself as the south side's smartest: a master of money laundering, quick hits, and outrunning the cops. His only weakness is his temper—and it's about to bring his sordid empire tumbling down. Roberts is going to see to that . . .
"Fans of British procedurals and noir novels will savor every speck of grit in this unrelenting crime novel." —Booklist

About the Author
Ken Bruen (b. 1951) is one of the most prominent Irish crime writers of the last two decades. Born in Galway, he spent twenty-five years traveling the world before he began writing in the mid 1990s. As an English teacher, Bruen worked in South Africa, Japan, and South America, where he once spent a short time in a Brazilian jail. He has two long-running series: one starring a disgraced former policeman named Jack Taylor, the other a London police detective named Inspector Brant. Praised for their sharp insight into the darker side of today's prosperous Ireland, Bruen's novels are marked by grim atmosphere and clipped prose. Among the best known are his White Trilogy (1998–2000) and The Guards (2001), the Shamus award-winning first novel in the Jack Taylor series. Along with his wife and daughter, Bruen continues to live and work in Galway.

Kick off
'Am I dying?'
Answer that. Do you lie big and say, like in the movies, 'Naw, it's just a scratch,'? Or, clutch his hand real tight and say, 'I ain't letting you go, bro'?
Chief Inspector Roberts was a professional; a professional liar, among other things. It didn't teach you that in the police manual. No, that came with promotion. He considered all the lines he could use. What he said was, 'You're dying.'
Roberts had got the call at three in the morning. The hour of death. Coming reluctantly out of sleep, he muttered, 'This better be bloody good.' And heard, 'James!'
No one used his Christian name, not even his wife. He said, 'Tony ... Good Lord ... where are you? D'ya know what time it is?' And heard a sad laugh.
Then: 'I didn't ring to ask the time. I'm hurt ... I'm hurt pretty bad.'
He sounded hurt, his speech was coming through slow and laboured. Eventually, Roberts pinned down an address, said, 'Don't move, I'm on me way.'
Again, the sad laugh, 'I won't move, I can guarantee it.' Roberts dressed quickly. His wife was asleep in another room. Yeah, like that.
'Would it fuck.' Roberts said aloud, 'God, I haven't much called on you ... I know ... but maybe this would be a good place to start.'
He'd learned from his sergeant, a dubious example of Catholicism, that it was a bartering thing. You did something for God, He did something for you. Like the Masons really.
He wasn't sure what he had to trade and said, 'I'll ... ah ... do good works.' What that entailed he'd no idea. Perhaps buy The Big Issue more regularly and not wait for change.
Yeah, it was a place to start. He waited, then tried the ignition again.
He glanced briefly upwards, said:
'It's about what I figured.'
A mini-cab later and he arrived in Stockwell, where the pitbulls travelled in twos. Ludlow Road is near the tube station, a short mugging away. At that hour the streets were littered with
the undead, the lost, and the frozen.
The building was a warren of bedsits. No lock on the front door. A wino was spread in the hall, his head came up wheezed: 'Is it Tuesday?'
'Are you sure?'
Roberts wondered if the guy even knew the year but hey ... he was going to argue? He said, 'It's Thursday ... OK?'
'Ah, good. I play golf on Tuesdays.'
Of course.
Flat six had a cleaner door than most. It was ajar. Roberts entered slowly. Entered devastation-ville. The place had been thrashed, cushions slit open, TV smashed, broken chairs and crockery, and his broken brother lying in the bathroom. He was a mess of blood and bruising. From the angle of his legs, Roberts knew they were gone. He opened his eyes, well, half opened one. The other was shut down. By a hammer it seemed.
He said, 'James, can I get you something?'
And Roberts tried not to smile, bent down said:
'I called an ambulance.'
His brother seemed to have lost consciousness, then said: 'Oh good, is it a weekender?'
A south-east London maxim. You called one on a weekday, could expect it on Saturday. Roberts didn't know what to do, said: 'I dunno what to do.'
That's when Tony asked if he was dying. He tried to cradle his brother's head, there was blood everywhere, asked, 'Who did this, Tone?'
'Tommy Logan.'
Before he could ask more, his brother convulsed, then let his head back, and died. When the medics arrived and scene of crime boyos, Roberts was led outside to the ruined sitting room. As they moved the body, a mobile fell to the floor. The officer in charge said, 'I'm sorry, guv, but I have to ask some questions, you understand.'
'Did he say anything?'
The officer tried to proceed delicately, asked, 'He called you?'
'And he didn't give any indication of what had happened?'
'He said he was hurt and could I come.'
'I came.'
'Right ... was he ... ah ... conscious ... when you got here?'
The officer looked round, said, 'I see.' But he didn't. Went another direction, asked, 'Were you close, guv?'
'You know, like regular contact?'
Roberts focused, then said, 'I spoke to him ten years ago ... maybe eleven.'
'Ah, so you weren't, then?'
Roberts turned his full look on the officer, said, 'No wonder you're a detective.'CHAPTER 2
Living next door to Alice
WPC falls was standing in front of the Superintendent. He was drinking tea and drinking it noisily. It's a very difficult task to chew tea but he appeared to have mastered it.
Like an anorexic rodent. He'd get it down but that didn't mean he had to like it. Worse. A biscuit, a club milk. He slid open the wrapper, then carefully peeled back the silver paper, said, 'They're well protected.'
Did he mean the public, criminals, tax dodgers? So, she just said, 'Yes, sir.' Which is about as unthreatening an answer as you can get.
WPC Falls was black and pretty or, as they said in the canteen, 'She's pretty black'. Argue the toss. Recently, she'd fucked up spectacularly in both her personal and professional life. She'd been pregnant and had gone after an arsonist alone. Nearly killed, she'd lost the baby and almost her job.
DS Brant had forced her along to arrest a hit man. It had saved her job and restored some of her confidence. Not all, but definitely in the neighbourhood. After, he'd said, 'You know Falls, you're getting a mean look.'
'Yeah, a nastiness around the eyes.'
She couldn't resist, said, 'Like you, sergeant?'
He laughed, answered, 'See what I mean? Yeah ... like me and, if you're real smart, you'll work on it.'
Surprised, she asked, 'Will it go away?'
'Fuck no, you'll get meaner.'
The Super put the biscuit to the side, said, 'Gratification postponed is gratification doubled.'
Falls had a flurry of thoughts—Thank Christ he didn't start on the biscuit. Yer pompous fart— all hedging on the insubordinate. She cautioned herself. Chill to chill out. Now the prize prick was flicking through her file adding sighs, tut-tuts, teeth clicking, every few pages. Finally, he sat back, said, 'A checkered career to date.'
'Yes sir.'
Now he was tapping a pen against his teeth, exclaimed, 'And such promise, you have the potential. Oh yes.'
Falls thought, Yeah, I'm black and a woman.
He closed the file then, as if only now was the idea crystallising, said, 'I'm going to take a chance on you Falls, eh.'
'Thank you, sir.'
'No doubt you're familiar with the Clapham Rapist?'
Who wasn't? A serial, he'd attacked six women, six black women. The lefties were kicking up a stink. Phrases such as 'selective policing' were surfacing.
He continued: 'You'll be living in a bedsit in Clapham, going to pubs, clubs, all the places this johnnie hunts.'
She tried to restrain herself but couldn't, said, 'A decoy?'
He gave a tolerant smile, said, 'Not a term we're keen on my girl, smacks of entrapment. We'll have you covered all the way.' Sure. 'So, are you up to the job? I've picked you especially.'
'Yes, sir.'
Thank you sir. Won't let you down sir, etc.
Brown-nosing to screaming point.
'Good, the desk sergeant has the details. PC McDonald will be assisting you ... that's all.'
She was just closing the door when he pounced on the club milk. Could hear him wolfing it as she moved away, muttered, 'Hope it bloody chokes him.'
As Brant had said, 'Getting meaner by the minute'.CHAPTER 3
The Greeks have a word for it
There's a narrow street connecting the Walworth Road to the east entrance of The Elephant and Castle shopping centre. It has second-hand furniture shops, a bookies, a boarded-up off licence and a taverna. The taverna is called The Spirit of Athens. It's a dump. But it does OK, and has a minor reputation for its bacon sarnies. A hint of kebab is added to the mix and the locals like it. Gives a taste of the exotic and disguises the bacon.
Culinary delight indeed.
The owner is named Spiro Zacharopoulos. He's a snitch and, more to the point, he's DS Brant's snitch. Brant looked like a thug and he was real proud of that. The Metropolitan Police believed he was a thug and were deeply ashamed of him. He'd had some major fuck-ups in his career which ensured he'd not rise above the rank of sergeant. But a number of last moment high profile case solutions had saved his career. It was always thus, thin ice to the promised land.
A mix of ruthlessness and the luck of the Irish kept him in the game. Snitches were the lifeblood of police work. Brant knew this better than most. Now sitting at a table, he said to Spiro, 'Jaysus, would it hurt to give the place a sweep?'
'Ah Meester Brant, help is so ... how you say ... diskolo ... difficult to get.'
'By the look of this joint, it's downright impossible. Couldn't you get a brush?'
Spiro spoke perfect English but it was useful to play it down. Gave him the edge. He said, 'Ah Meester Brant, you make a joke.'
Brant reached into his jacket, got a pack of Weights and a battered Zippo, lit up, exhaled, said, 'When I make a joke boyo, you won't be in any doubt about it.'
Spiro, playing the anxious-to-please role, went and got an ashtray. Written along the side was Ouzo-12. Brant looked at it, flicked his ash on the floor, said, 'That's going to make all the difference, eh? What's the twelve for?'
Now Spiro could be the true Greek, hospitable friendly sly, said, 'Ouziko Dodika.'
'Which tells me what exactly? Doesn't tell me shit pal.'
'Wait ... wait one moment.' He got up, crossed to the bar and busied himself. Five minutes on he's back with glasses, a bottle, snacks on plates and a jug of water, says, 'Let me demonstrate.' Pours the ouzo, adds water and it becomes the colour of window cleaner, nods to the snacks, explains, 'These are meze, we eat, we drink, like we're in Greece.'
The 'snacks' consisted of
two Ritz crackers,
two slices of 'rubber',
two thin wedges of cheese.
Brant stared, then: 'Jaysus, you broke the bank with all this grub ... what's the rubber bits?'
'I can only hope you're kidding. Tell you what, I'll feast on the others—you have the condoms.'
He took his glass and before he drank, Spiro said, 'Aspro pato. '
'Whatever.' Knocked it back, gasped and said, 'Paint off a fucking gate ...
'You like?'
Brant wiped his mouth, bit on a stale cracker, said, 'Let's cut the crap, boyo, and drop the Greek lesson ... OK? You came to me pal offering yer help if I could help you with some problems. I delivered, you haven't been shut down so, let's hear it. You're a snitch, so snitch.'
Now Spiro was the offended party, whined, 'Meester Brant, ah ... I thought we were friends. Friends do each other a leetle favour.'
He was into it now and would have built to operatic outrage but Brant leant over, gave him an almighty wallop to the side of the head, said:
'You're not paying attention, Costos.'
'It's Spiro.'
'See, now you're listening. Who's the main player these days?'
The main player had been Bill Preston. He was on sabbatical and various villains were vying for position. Spiro glanced round the empty restaurant, then said, 'Tommy Logan. Like you, he is Irish, I think, but he has the mind of a Colombian.'
'What's that mean?'
'Without mercy, no ... how you say ...? boundaries ... is why he is top because he will do anything.'
'Well now, I'd like to meet the bold Logan.'
'Mister Brant, be careful, this man is crazy. He has no respect for police or for anybody.'
Brant poured some ouzo, said, 'Let's have some more turpentine, drink to Tommy Logan.'
'Ah, you begin to like the ouzo.'
Brant leant over and Spiro cowered, but the sergeant only put his arm round the Greek's shoulder, squeezed, said, 'I like you Costis, you and yer shit-hole caff.'CHAPTER 4
Song for Guy
A handful of mourners at Tony Roberts' funeral. The Chief Inspector, Brant, Falls, McDonald, and a wino who looked vaguely familiar, but Roberts couldn't quite recall where from.
The vicar read, 'Man is full of misery and has but a short time to live ...
Brant nudged him, none too gently, said, 'Jaysus, padre, something less depressing.'
The vicar said, 'I say, do leave this to the proper authority. There are set rules and services.'
Brant gave him the look, asked, 'Wanna be first in the hole?'
The padre looked for help but none was forthcoming, so he read an up tempo passage on light and salvation. Brant liked it fine.
A persistent drizzle was coming down, not an outright soaking but a steady wetting. As if it hadn't the balls to just pour on bloody down. When the body had been lowered, Brant moved near to Roberts, asked, 'All right, guv?'
'What ... oh yes ... thanks ... listen, I, ahm ... don't they usually have sandwiches for people after ...?'
Brant smiled gently, a rare to rarest event, said, 'I put a few quid behind the bar at The Roebuck, they do a lovely spread.'
'Oh, do they?'
'Well the owner's a mick, knows about wakes. He'll do us grand. I'll leave you a moment, guv.'
Roberts turned, asked, 'What will I say? I dunno what to say.'
'Tell him goodbye, guv ... oh ... and that you'll fix the fuck what done him ... OK?'
Only Roberts and the wino remained. Then it came to him—the wino outside Tony's door. The man said, 'Sorry for your trouble, he was a gent he was. Gave me a few quid now and again.'
Roberts reached for his wallet and the man was horrified. 'I didn't come here for beggin'.'
'I know, I appreciate that, but for a last one with ... Tony ... would you humour me?'
The wino was indignant but not stupid, took the cash, said, 'So long's you know I didn't come cos o' that.'
Roberts nodded, stood alone for a moment then whispered, 'Goodbye Tony, I'll fix the fuck what done you ... OK, lad?'CHAPTER 5
Top dog
There's a new boot on the market. Heavy, thick-soled, menacing and highly impressive, called Wehrmacht. And, yeah, they pronounce it with a V and a tone. So, OK, it's not actually called the Third Reich, but it's implied. Could they give a fuck. Selling like designer sunglasses. Tommy Logan had a pair and he adored them. For good measure, he had the toes reinforced with steel. Kept them spit-shined and did those mothers gleam?
His real name was Tommy Nash but that was before. In the Scrubs, he'd drowned a guy in a toilet. Not an easy task. You have to truly want to kill somebody. Tommy did.
That evening in the recreation room, Johnny Logan won the Eurovision for the third time. The cons were allowed to watch. To be in the Eurovision three times is some awful sentence but to win it three times, that's diabolical. One of the lifers said, 'Hey Tommy, you know what?'
'Yeah?' Lots of hard in his answer fresh from the afternoon kill, he was bullet-proof.
'You look like that guy—that winner.'
Tommy checked round, see if it was a piss-take. No. Lots of con heads nodding. Yeah, they could see it. Tommy heard the word WINNER. It sang to him.
Johnny Logan was tall, dark hair, and the face of a cherub. He sang like a tenor angel. Tommy was short with mousy hair and a baby face. But the fit was in.
Next day Tommy got a prison make-over. Had one of the cissies dye his hair black using polish and gel. Got it sleek and raven. After, he let the cissy go down and came quickly. A few minutes later he beat the cissy to pulp, shouting, 'I hate fucking queers, man I just fucking hate 'em.'
On Tommy's release he didn't go back to north London. He headed south-east and became Tommy Logan, adopted a half-assed Irish accent and thought it passed for humour. To complete the transition, he got a heavy gold Claddagh ring and ordered bottles of Guinness in public. It worked for Daniel Day Lewis. His music of choice was Sinead O'Connor. He believed her to be openly psychotic. Her songs sang to him of
fuck you-all.

Oil fell more than a dollar to less than $54 a barrel after Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States said current prices were good for consumers and producers and other OPEC members showed signs of hiking supplies for March.
Warm U.S. weather in early January launched a drop that has taken around 12% off U.S. oil prices since the start of the year, despite OPEC pledges to cut production.
But Saudi Arabia's outgoing ambassador to the United States said Monday OPEC's largest producer was satisfied with U.S. crude near $50 a barrel, adding that those levels are good for both consuming and producing nations.
"The present level of oil prices is adequate in our view," Prince Turki Al-Faisal said.
His comments came after news fellow OPEC members Nigeria and United Arab Emirates are ramping up supplies in March, despite an OPEC agreement to deepen cuts.
Nigeria's oil exports are expected to climb to a 14-month high of 2.21 million barrels per day in March from 1.8 million bpd the previous month.
Traders attributed the hike to a backlog in shipments following militant attacks last month.
Industry sources also said Abu Dhabi, the main producer in OPEC-member United Arab Emirates, was increasing supplies to Asia in March.
Abu Dhabi told Asian refiners they would receive their full term crude supplies after cutting shipments in February.
OPEC agreed in October to curb output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd), or 4 percent, from Nov. 1, and another 500,000 bpd from Feb. 1 after U.S. oil fell from record highs over $78 a barrel in July.
"There is the issue of OPEC credibility, with the report about Nigeria exports being up in March," said said Mike Fitzpatrick, vice president for energy at Fimat USA.
"As was the case last week, there is little reason to be long over $55 or short below $50."
Fund Money
Oil has tumbled 19% since Jan. 1 to a low of $49.90 on Jan. 18 because of a mild start to the northern winter and a shift in investor positions in commodities.
OPEC has said it will wait to assess the impact of existing supply cuts before calling for further reductions.
Recent colder weather in the U.S. Northeast, the world's biggest heating oil market, helped rally prices back over $55 last week. An influx of pension funds into passive commodities indices also helped support prices, Lehman Brothers said.
"Pension funds with 2007 commodity allocations finally entered the market in a big way, investing in indices including the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index (LBCI) and the Goldman
Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) during the week," said a Lehman Brothers report.
Further support came from the U.S. government's announcement last week it would add 11 million barrels to the nation's strategic oil reserves.
"It should provide some support in the mid-$50s," said Evan Smith, fund manager at Texas-based U.S. Global Investors.
"I think the market will be rangebound at around $50-$60 for the first six months and $55-$65 for the second half."
Despite weather forecasts predicting higher demand, heating oil prices fell sharply. Gasoline and natural gas also sold off.
U.S. heating demand was expected to be about 9% above normal in this week, the National Weather Service forecast in its weekly report. Last week heating demand was about 1.4% above normal.
Demand for heating oil this week was expected to average 4.2% above normal, with heating demand for natural gas 9.2% above normal and heating demand for electricity 11.3% above normal, the report showed.
Heating demand in the U.S. Northeast will average above normal during the most of the next five days, private forecaster DTN Meteorlogix predicted today.
The six-to-10-day Meteorlogix forecast was for temperatures to average below normal.

60k expected for Paris marathon, Clémence Calvin among them
Issued on: Modified:
Some 60,000 people are expected to take to the streets of Paris on Sunday for the 43rd edition of the internaitonal race around some of the most famous landmarks of the French capital. Among them is European marathon silver medalist Clémence Calvin who has been allowed to run after her doping ban was lifted.
Fun runners, charity fundraisers and those in fancy dress will join elite athletes in trying to complete the 26-mile route, from the famous Champs Elysées Avenue in front of the Arc de Triomphe and cross seven districts of the French capital before returning to the monument via the Avenue Foch.
French marathon runner Calvin will now be joining the pack after the Council of State France's highest administrative court--lifted her doping ban on Friday.
The 28-year-old athlete had been provisionally suspended by the French anti-doping agency for allegedly obstructing a doping test last month in Morocco.
"I have no reason to be afraid because I am in the right and I am proud," Calvin told CNews Saturday.
Calvin denies any wrongdoing and claims she was brutalized by testers who pretended to be police officers when she was briefly stopped in the city of Marrakech on 27 March.
Stay positive
Calvin, who finished second in the 2018 European championships in Berlin, was in Morocco with her husband, the athlete Samir Dahmani, to train for this Sunday's Paris Marathon.
"Whether I get booed or cheered, I will focus only on the positive," she said.
Calvin is hoping to finish in less than 2 hours 29 minutes and 30 seconds in order to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.
Last year, she had a running time of 2 hours 26 minutes and 28 seconds (just behind Christelle Daunay) the second best performance by a French female athlete.
Africans lead the pack
However, this year as always, all eyes will be riveted on the African runners, starting with Kenya's Paul Lonyangata. The 26-year-old has already won the marathon twice. His main rival is likely to be Ethiopia's Asefa Mengistu.
On the women's side, two Ethiopians are the favourites to win: 33-year-old Gelete Burka and 21-year-old Azmera Abreha, as defending women's champion Betsy Saina won't be present.
The Paris marathon is one of the world's most popular running events - up there with London, New York and Berlin as the 'ultimate' experience for marathon runners.

Problems and Purpose
The CIVICUS World Assembly is a place for strengthening the rights of people around the world, to "exist, express and engage." It involves the civil society, government, business and media in the processes it takes to make the steps towards this strengthening. These world assemblies provide a strong forum where unconnected groups can engage, in open dialogue for the benefit of civil society. They address a range of problems in the discussions at these once yearly world assemblies hoping to come to a decision through discussion and deliberation about what could be done to fix or improve the problem. In each World Assembly a series of all assembly discussions take place throughout the few days, but they also include activities such as round tables, networking sessions, workshops, formal events and most recently a new activity being added which are interactive group discussions.
The first CIVICUS World Assembly was held in 1995 in Mexico City. The first few assemblies were held every two years, until the decision at the 2006 Assembly held in Glasgow they decided to hold them annually. Another change included location, because of the in-depth and long process of organizing involved in each World Assembly it was decided at the 2006 Assembly to hold Assemblies in the same location for three consecutive years. This change would allow the focus to remain on the content, themes, and sub-themes that are the most important part of each Assembly, and hope to increase and promote participation. With reducing the need to process a new location every year and find the proper funding for the location the point could be returned to strengthening civil society. The World Assemblies are not that old in terms of history, nearing 15 years, although they are still happening with the most recent being held in Montreal, Canada in August of 2010. They have evolved over the years by making changes to increase the productivity, engagement, and deliberation of unconnected groups around the world. It is anticipated from the changes that have been made in past World Assemblies that there will be changes in the future as well.
Participant Selection
In every World Assembly they expect about 1000 delegates from around the world, including about 60 media representatives and 60 other people normally CIVICUS staff, on the local host committee, or the board of the assembly. The delegates or participants can register themselves on the website prior to the Assembly, which allows for a varied group of people. The participants can be from businesses, non-governmental organizations, foundations, or any other person that wants to be involved in civil society. Along with participant selection there is a selection process for the host country of each World Assembly. In a similar process to hosting the Olympics but on a smaller scale, the country, more specifically the city, has to apply for the opportunity. They must prove they have or will have the location to comfortably hold the World Assembly activities and all of the people that will be attending. There are specific guidelines requiring ease of transportation, distance of venue to lodging, and many other aspects including catering. After the bids are collected the locations are visited by CIVICUS members resulting in the selection of one city, which now leads to hosting three annual World Assemblies.
Deliberation, Decisions, and Public Interaction
The CIVICUS World Assemblies offer a variety of ways to make decisions by using deliberation. Because the participants focus on issues regarding civil society and can come to a consensus about what actions need to be taken they can take that back to their society. Involving people from around the world helps this concept, and the Assemblies hope to promote a powerful message that inspires and encourages the participants to become leaders in their own society, and interact with the public. If this could happen all around the world, some changes could be seen.
Influence, Outcomes, and Effects
Each World Assembly has its own agenda focusing on the chosen themes and sub-themes. The themes and agenda for the four-day event is chosen by CIVICUS, the founding and supporting organization of World Assemblies, and then implemented into the various activities at the Assembly. CIVICUS, makes these decisions in the organization process however the participants are the ones who have the decision making power at the Assembly ultimately deliberating over issues and making decisions. They normally are focused around how civil society could be improved in some aspect, while focusing on the theme for that assembly.
Some of the effects and outcomes of the World Assemblies in the past have been:
Mexico City, Mexico – 1995 – 1st World Assembly This was the first World Assembly held, so the focus remained on the future and development of them. It did not have a theme or sub-theme because this idea had not been introduced yet. The effect this had was shaping the future of World Assemblies and their processes, which in turn had the effect of a successful continuance of Assemblies.
Budapest, Hungary – 1997 – 2nd World Assembly Being the second Assembly it attracted a near 500 people from 76 countries. The focus at this World Assembly was to review CIVICUS as an organization. In particular the participants looked at the issues of visibility and mobilization throughout the worlds different societies. And its main focus was creating some kind of legal environment for civil society, focusing on places that did not have as many fair or equal rights when it came to legal issues.
Manila, Philippines – 1999 - 3rd World Assembly This was the first World Assembly that took the focus of a specific theme given by CIVICUS. It was "Towards a New Civil Society: The changing of Civil Society Organizations Business and Government." This Assembly hosted about 600 participants from all parts of society and discussed the elements of engagement in civil societies. This year there was also a major addition to World Assemblies introducing youth participation, which would eventually lead to separate Youth World Assemblies.
Vancouver, Canada – 2001 – 4th World Assembly This Assembly attracted significantly more people than the past reaching 730 participants from 87 countries. Its theme was "Putting people at the centre and the role of voluntary action in shaping social and economic change." This Assembly was to date the most engaged and effective by reaching to outside sources and engaging with Canada's varied and dynamic civil society. They included this by using learning exchanges as one of the activities during the Assembly. The major effect of this Assembly was the increased role of youth by introducing a project based on the Internet and daily bulletin. Not only did it focus on developing the youth participation but also addressed the issues of CIVICUS and it's gender policies. CIVICUS took action after receiving these recommendations from the Assembly by creating new and revised policies regarding gender roles especially women's leadership.
Gaborone, Botswana – 2004 – 5th World Assembly The theme for this World Assembly, which eventually became the motto of all World Assemblies, was "Acting Together for a Just World." Over 700 participants from over 105 countries had discussions about economic, social, political, and civic justice in a divided world. Because of the events happening around the world, such as the effects of 9/11/01, the world was in a different state than in prior Assemblies. It also focused on a few of the specific challenges Africa was facing, including HIV/AIDS epidemic. This session created a few new additions to the sessions adding a "dream weave" where participants could state and share dreams they have.
Glasgow, Scotland – 2006 – 6th World Assembly As the assemblies continued the number of participants increased, this one drawing 800 from 100 different countries. Again it focused on the theme of "Acting Together for a Just World," but also included sub-themes surrounding the topics of political, civic, and economic justice in civil societies. This year also marked changes in World Assemblies as a whole, deciding World Assemblies in the future would be held every year, instead of every two years, and would be held in the same location for three years in a row. This session had effects because its themes were focused on the events leading up to the G8 summit. It showed focus on a large global commitment from citizens of all kinds wanting a better and just world and the necessity of continuing to try to achieve it.
Glasgow, Scotland – 2007 – 7th World Assembly In the 7th Assembly 745 participants attended from 119 countries. The theme of accountability was stressed allowing the discussions to develop suggestions on how sectors in local, national, and international governments could improve. They focused on how these different levels of government could do this in holding themselves and others accountable hoping to improve the systems. The 2008 8th World Assembly was also held in Glasgow, allowing people to discuss and learn from experts from around the world on different issues of participatory government and development.
Montreal, Canada – August 2010 – 9th World Assembly Returning back to Canada from the 2001 Assembly the 9th followed the same overall theme of "Acting Together for a Just World" with the focus on the sub-theme "SOS: Seeking Out Solutions – Economic Justice," as well as other themes involving "development effectiveness and climate justice."
Analysis and Criticism
The CIVICUS World Assembly's are a process that does promote deliberation in a participatory government setting. They allow for people from around the world to gather and speak their minds about issues that need attention all around the world. By just holding these gatherings they are allowing a place for open and structured deliberation to occur. The process includes holding informative meetings as a very large group throughout the sessions, as well as smaller groups that focus on asking questions and really tackling the issues proposed, possibly coming up with solutions. Moderators are used as well in the smaller group activities to ensure the content of conversation stays "vibrant, rich, and diverse." This addition enables the deliberative process, both the social and analytic processes of deliberation to be more successful. By ensuring all are allowed to openly address their beliefs and ideas with respect from others is also helpful to deliberation. With a variety of group sizes and activities all attendants are allowed to have a say and be an active participant, strengthening the deliberation at these Assemblies.
These gatherings are reflective of other participation based deliberative gatherings, however they have the unique characteristic that they occur around the world, include people from several different countries, and focus on large international issues, as well as smaller specific ones. By allowing this form of deliberation to take place, they hope to increase civil society and the effectiveness of it as well.

LONDON, July 3 — Britain's main index hit a 10-month high today as comments from the Bank of England raised hopes of an interest rate cut and hurt the pound, while AIM-listed Telford Homes surged after a buyout offer.
The FTSE 100 rose 0.6 per cent, scaling its highest level since August 29, boosted by shares of companies that book a major chunk of their revenue overseas. The FTSE 250 added 0.4 per cent by 0810 GMT.
The pound struggled for traction after Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said yesterday that the global trade war and a 'no-deal' Brexit may warrant a near-term policy response, which markets interpreted as a dovish signal.
The currency had been hit in the previous session after data showed Britain's construction industry suffered its worst month in more than 10 years last month amid persisting Brexit uncertainty.
BAT, Imperial Brands and AstraZeneca were among the biggest boosts to the main index.
Appetite for policy easing was stoked last month when investors bet the U.S. Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in response to slowing global economic growth, which helped the FTSE 100 enjoy its best month since January.
In news-driven moves today, Britain's biggest sportswear retailer, JD Sports, led the blue-chip gainers with a 4 per cent rise after it said its annual profit would at least be equal to the market view.
"It would appear that despite a tough retail environment management have stumbled on a formula that is expected to more than triple revenues," CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson said.
Telford Homes climbed 12.4 per cent to 354 pence after US real estate firm CBRE said it would buy the British residential property developer for 350 pence a share in cash.
Telford shares were on course for their best day in more than three years.
Supporting the mid-cap index was cyber security firm Sophos , which advanced almost 7 per cent, and peer Avast, up 3 per cent, after sources said chipmaker Broadcom was in advanced talks to buy Symantec.
Drinks makers fizzed as Boris Johnson was expected to announce a review into the so-called "sin taxes" on products high in salt, fat and sugar if he becomes the Prime Minister.
Shares of Fevertree, Britvic and sweetener maker Tate & Lyle rose 2 per cent. — Reuters

A more expanded meaning of the term is educated and cultured.(Webster,2017). The United Nations Educated, Scientific and Cultural organization( UNESCO) defines literacy as "the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society".( The plurality of Literacy,2004). Gender also is an effective factor in the Literacy rate. Based on the list of countries by literacy rate( collected by UIS) and the Map of Literacy & Gender by(www.oii.ox.ac.uk) most countries show higher rate of male Literacy. Except for some countries that females appear as slightly higher or equal. Gender differences were generally indicating higher male literacy rate. The present study tries to answer some questions related to this subject. Dr. Graham and his team study shows that 87% of the world's men can read and write whilst only 77% of women are literate. Dr. Gambell and Hunter in their paper "Rethinking Gender Differences in Literacy" investigated that females outperform males in all areas of reading and writing at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels, and this literacy gap does not narrow or cease with age. Males are disadvantaged in literacy by the time they complete high school. In an another study by Logan and Johnston as Gender Differences in Reading Ability and Attitudes( 2009), it is indicated that the gender differences in the relationship between reading ability, frequency of reading and attitudes and

A new study found that adult sleepwalking is a potentially serious condition that may induce violent behaviors and affect health-related quality.
It is much more common in children than adults and is more likely to occur if a person is sleep deprived. Because a sleepwalker typically remains in deep sleep .
Sleepwalking in adults has a higher chance of being confused with or coexisting with other sleep disorders as well as medical conditions.
One objective of this study was to determine the lifetime prevalence rate of sleepwalking in an adult population in Ile-Ife, in Southwestern.
Rarely, sleepwalking may begin at any time in the adult life, even when someone is in their seventies. Up to 4 percent of adults sleepwalk. In adults, men are.
