Partidul aflat la putere în Georgia și a cărui autoritate nu este recunoscută de opoziție, ridiculizează atenționarea Uniunii Europene că georgienii ar putea pierde privilegiul de a călători în UE fără vize. „Și noi permitem germanilor să călătorească la noi fără vize. Și ce dacă?” a spus președintele paramentului de la Tbilisi. Pe 20 aprilie, Rusia a încălcat promisiunea de încetare a focului de 2.935 de ori și nu a încetat nici măcar la loviturile cu rază lungă care vizează infrastructura civilă. Volodimir Zelenzky a făcut aceste declarații citând raportului comandantului șef al Forțelor Armate ale Ucrainei, prezentat la miezul nopții după încheierea sărbătorii de Paști.Cel mai mare număr lovituri a fost înregistrat în direcția Pokrovsk, relatează suspilne.media.Ucraina va continua să acționeze în același mod: răspunzând calmului cu calm și atacurilor rusești cu lovituri de răzbunare, a adăugat președintele ucrainean.Oficial georgian: și noi permitem cetățenilor germani să călătorească fără vize, ce dacă?„Nu s-a decis încă nimic la Bruxelles, dar Visul Georgian, aliații și susținătorii săi au deschis deja un front larg – subminând călătoriile fără vize și acuzând Uniunea Europeană de șantaj. De asemenea, ei promit, în numele poporului georgian, că vor putea călători cu ușurință fără viză,” relatează www.radiotavisupleba.ge, Europa Liberă în limba georgiană.Unii reprezentanți ai guvernului condus de Visul Georgian au deja interdicția de a intra într-o serie de țări europene din cauza sancțiunilor la care au fost supuși în urma alegerilor de anul trecut al căror rezultat nu a fost recunoscut de opoziție. „Cercul se lărgește treptat. Oficialii care dețin pașapoarte diplomatice s-au confruntat  cu probleme suplimentare atunci când călătoreau în țările UE,” scriu jurnaliștii georgieni.„Dacă nu se va schimba nimic în țară, experții se așteaptă ca mai devreme sau mai târziu să fie suspendată și liberalizarea vizelor pentru cetățenii georgieni de rând. ”„Sunt călătoriile fără vize o mană divină?! Și noi permitem cetățenilor germani să călătorească fără vize, deci?! " - a declarat președintele parlamentului format doar de Visul Georgian, fără opoziție, la un post TV. Acesta l-a numit arogant  pe ambasadorul german la Tbilisi după ce diplomatul a declarat că intrarea în UE fără viză este un privilegiu pe care Georgia trebuie să-l mențină.Fals: Maia Sandu ar avea în garderobă haine de zeci de mii de euroÎn ultimele zile în spațiul public au circulat mai multe informații precum că ținutele președintei Maia Sandu ar costa zeci de mii de euro, fiind de la branduri luxoase precum Chanel sau Loro Piana, citim în Ziarul de Gardă. Purtătorul de cuvând al șefei statului, Igor Zaharov, a dezmințit aceste date, spunând că este un fake.„E o minciună penibilă, născută din lipsă de idei și, probabil, dintr-o disperare crescută după investigația The Insider Russia care a expus rețelele de propagandă ale Kremlinului. Maia Sandu este cunoscută pentru viața modestă și integritatea sa. Mii de cetățeni au văzut cum călătorește alături de oameni, în aceleași condiții ca orice pasager, merge la aceleași magazine în care mergem noi toți”, a declarat Iuri Zaharov.Potrivit purtătorului de cuvânt al președintei, scopul răspândirii acestui fals este de a dezbina societatea.„Kremlinul și cei care îi fac jocul în țara noastră nu mai știu ce să inventeze ca să o lovească pe Maia Sandu, să ne scoată de pe calea europeană și să bage vrajbă între oameni.”  Salome MIKADZE,  GéorgiaValeriia SEREDENKO, UcrainaInna SEREDIUK, UcrainaKateryna MAZUR, UcrainaMadalina RUJANSCHI, Moldavie

Mii de români au votat la alegerile prezidențiale până la această oră. De unde vine numărul mare de voturi (Ziare.com) - Premieră în bătălia pentru Cotroceni. Sociolog din Elveția: „Candidații celor două mari forțe politice nu au mai fost în această situație” (Adevărul) - Nicolae Ciucă, un pariu riscant pentru liberali (SpotMedia) - De la „frumosul Ciolacu” și „inteligentul Geoană” la „Băsescu cel hazliu”, ce cred oamenii care trăiesc în colțul de jos al hărții, în Dobrogea, despre prezidențiale (Libertatea) Mii de români au votat la alegerile prezidențiale până la această oră. De unde vine numărul mare de voturi (Ziare.com)Votul în străinătate la alegerile prezidenţiale a început vineri, prima secţie deschisă fiind cea din Auckland, Noua Zeelandă, unde până la această oră au votat zece persoane. Printre secțiile unde s-a deschis procedura de vot se mai află Sydney, unde votat 16 persoane și Tokyo, tot 16 persoane, Singapore 10 persoane, iar în restul secțiilor deschise numărul de votanți fiind sub 10.Conform site-ului prezenta.roaep.ro, până în prezent, au votat în total 4.313 de români. Numărul mare de votanți până la această oră este datorat votului prin corespondență, prin care s-au exprimat deja 4.219, scrie ziare.com.Votarea în străinătate la primul tur al alegerilor prezidenţiale se desfăşoară pe parcursul a trei zile, până duminică. Premieră în bătălia pentru Cotroceni. Sociolog din Elveția: „Candidații celor două mari forțe politice nu au mai fost în această situație” (Adevărul)România se pregătește pentru alegerile prezidențiale și parlamentare. Bătălia se anunță mai dură ca oricând. Doar că, spre deosebire de tot ceea ce s-a întâmplat pe parcursul celor 35 de ani scurși de la Revoluție, de această dată liderii celor mai importante partide întâmpină probleme, iar unul dintre ei, Nicolae Ciucă, nu este singur nici măcar că va intra în turul 2.Sociologul Daniel Sandu, cercetător la Universitatea Fribourg, în Elveția, consideră că formațiunile politice odinoară esențiale, PSD și PNL, sunt mai puțin relevante ca oricând când vine vorba de bătălia pentru Cotroceni. Candidații celor celor două mari forțe politice, PSD și PNL, au împreună abia în jur de 40%.Marcel Ciolacu ar avea cea mai mare șansă să ajungă în turul 2, ceea ce nu îi garantează însă că va ajunge la Cotroceni. Însă nici măcar în ce privește turul 2, Ciolacu nu ar trebui să se culce pe o ureche, crede Sandu.Prin intermediul ziarului Adevărul sociologul avertizează în privința lui George Simion și a partidului pe care acesta îl conduce. Simion poate profita de un concurs de împrejurări favorabil. Într-un moment în care economia României nu performează, iar ceilalți concurenți la postul de președinte se războiesc în mass-media, liderul AUR poate veni puternic din urmă ca un alergător de cursă lungă. Nicolae Ciucă, un pariu riscant pentru liberali (SpotMedia)Fostul general încearcă să se distanțeze de Klaus Iohannis, mentorul său politic, și de PSD, partenerul de coaliție, pentru a-și spori șansele de a ajunge în turul doi al alegerilor prezidențiale. Printre principalele vulnerabilități ale lui Ciucă se numără acuzațiile de plagiat și dificultatea de a convinge electoratul de independența sa politică în raport cu actualul președinte. PNL se bazează pe primarii partidului pentru a-l duce pe lider în finala pentru Palatul Cotroceni, mizând totul pe forța filialelor teritoriale ale formațiunii.Nicolae Ciucă își va începe ziua de duminică știind la fel de puține despre viitorul carierei sale politice ca majoritatea alegătorilor români chemați la urne. O astfel de situație nesigură, tensionată și imprevizibilă arată din nou cât de importante sunt alegerile libere și democrația într-o țară, deși mulți blazați ai zilelor noastre consideră că sunt doar vorbe goale, notează jurnalistul Emilian Isăilă pe pagina SpotMedia. Analiză: Lasconi, un fel de Reagan mioritic? (DW)Elena Lasconi, 52 de ani, se arată foarte sigură pe ea în dezbaterile televizate, e spontană, vorbește cu dezinvoltură inclusiv despre subiecte pe care nu le cunoaște: pare că nimic nu o descumpănește.Nimic nu o intimidează și nimic nu o oprește din drum, deși nu știe exact cum funcționează NATO, cine face parte din Consiliul Suprem de Apărare a Țării (CSAT), ce atribuții are această instituție, ce țări sunt în Consiliul de Securitate al ONU, ce relații are România cu Turcia și care e poziția Bucureștiului în Orientul Mijlociu. Are lacune majore în toate domeniile care țin de responsabilitățile prezidențiale, dar nu-i pasă, vorbește ca și cum ar ști, mizând pe faptul că, poate, nici cei care o urmăresc nu sunt foarte informați. Prezidențiabila USR a reușit să se transforme în patru ani din prezentatoare TV în primăriță de Câmpulung și nu e exclus să se poată converti din primăriță în președintă cu toate golurile pe care le are în cultura ei generală și politică. Spre deosebire de ceilalți, nu pozează în ceea ce nu este, râde de propriile greșeli, nu e încrâncenată și le zâmbește frumos alegătorilor. Trage tare, are energie și spune prostii fără să se consume. Nu are simțul ridicolului, dar, poate, îl are pe cel al datoriei. Articolul Sabinei Fati de pe pagina DW  face parte dintr-o serie de portrete ale principalilor candidați la alegerile prezidențiale de duminică. Mic sondaj la marginea țării. De la „frumosul Ciolacu” și „inteligentul Geoană” la „Băsescu cel hazliu”, ce cred oamenii care trăiesc în colțul de jos al hărții, în Dobrogea, despre prezidențiale (Libertatea)Echipa Libertatea a întrebat oameni din mai multe localități din județul Constanța, aflate la câțiva kilometri de granița cu Bulgaria, ce favoriți au în cursa pentru Cotroceni, ediția 2024.  Din răspuns în răspuns, a devenit destul de clar că alegerile prezidențiale sunt încă, pentru mulți români, mai degrabă o rămășiță a gândirii magice decât un exercițiu democratic. 

京都任天堂博物館（Nintendo Museum）將於 10 月 2 日正式開幕，幾週前我就接到邀請是否可以和全球媒體一同搶先體驗，但因為後來確認這段時間我另有任務（在羽田機場和札幌車站上空洗溫泉的任務），只好忍痛放棄這機會，拜託Nobuhiro戴著企鵝的面具（並沒有）代替我去參加。聽說逛了整整8個小時手機電都用完然後累死了！但顯然是收穫滿滿。以下是Nobuhiro條列出的注意事項給大家。 1.希望大家坐大眾運輸工具來，不要搭計程車來，因為博物館位在住宅區，希望不要造成周邊民眾太多不便。 2.在地上的皮卡丘從Game boy 裡面跳出來的水溝蓋（因為皮卡丘的遊戲是從game boy開始發跡的） ，是位於園區內，所以沒有預約到票都看不到喔！（基本上所有可看的東西都在園區內，沒有預約到票跑來到⋯⋯的話，可能會白跑一場） 3.入場券，如果你可以事先上傳自己的Mii的話，印出來的時候，就不是8bit 馬力歐,而是自己的Mii 喔，超讚的。 4.如果一個人去，想體驗超大遙控器的遊戲，但是沒有人陪你玩的話，可以找親切的工作人員陪你喔！我還有碰到超可愛的台灣女生工作人員喔！ 5.如果要參加有料workshop ：500日幣玩30分鐘花牌，或是，2000日幣製作自己的四張花牌的話，需要進園後事先預約。且可以預約的場次是進場後整點開始算三小時以內的場次而已喔！ 預約地點在三館二樓workshop前櫃台，或是2館一樓，shop附近的櫃台喔！ 6.進入1館以後的那些「奇諾比奧」都是可以摸的喔，別忘了每一位都摸一下喔！ 7.在shop內看到的商品，如果印有灰色「Nintendo Museum」的logo 的話，就只有這裡才買得到的商品喔！ 8.cafe的漢堡，可以掃二維碼後，客制自己的漢堡，動畫超可愛的喔！建議可以去試試。哈。 9.暗示一些地方給大家，到時要多注意這些地方，會有驚喜喔！ 10.票的買法，採用先抽選制，一個人可以登錄兩個月後的那一個月的三個時段，然後抽選，如果中了，就可以去，如果抽選完還有空位的時段，就會開放先搶先贏。 例如：現在九月，可以登錄十二月分的三個時段，然後十月初會有抽選結果，如果還有空位，才會在十月中會開放空位先搶先贏。（確定抽選中，才會進入付款的程序） 我把所有目前的優惠券都上傳到雲端硬碟了，方便大家一整包下載！ https://reurl.cc/r9Ej24 分類別： 日本藥妝店必備優惠券一整包 https://reurl.cc/DjOqqd 日本電器 服飾 運動用品必備優惠券大集合 https://reurl.cc/OMZVa7 日本百貨公司 機場免稅店優惠券大集合 https://reurl.cc/Ren4DG 04b毒友獨家優惠專區 https://reurl.cc/XG1r67 分地區：在唐吉訶德的文字檔案中，我會陸續更新當地最新的資訊，也可以從那裏找資料喔。 東京必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/XRQERR 關西京阪神必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/2joaxX 沖繩必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/ly5nkj 北海道必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/g60ge4 九州福岡必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/E6gdYR 中部名古屋必備優惠券 https://reurl.cc/344ZZj

Mii de pagere și stații radio ale militanților Hezbollah au explodat marți și miercuri în Liban. Atacul a produs zeci de victime și mii de răniți. Cu cîteva minute înainte de explozia pagerelor, ministrul israelian al apărării, Yoav Gallant, l-a informat pe secretarul american al apărării, Lloyd Austin, cu privire la o operațiune pe care Israelul urma să o desfășoare în Liban, fără să-i dea detalii. În noaptea de miercuri spre joi, armata israeliană a atacat depozite de armament ale grupării Hezbollah din sudul Libanului. Cum au fost posibile atacurile? Ce impact are seria de atacuri din Liban asupra zonei, și așa marcată de războiul dintre Israel și Hamas? L-am întrebat pe jurnalistul Cătălin Gomboș, specializat în Orientul Mijlociu. Dincolo de eliminarea unor militanţi Hezbollah, care ar putea fi scopul acestui atac care a presupus un enorm efort de coordonare, de intelligence şi de resurse?„Exact acesta: de descurajare a Hezbollahului în primul rînd. De distrugere a unor capacităţi ale grupării teroriste islamiste, chiar şi în perspectiva unui conflict care ar putea să se amplifice în orice moment.”În ce măsură seria de atacuri asupra dispozitivelor de comunicare ale membrilor Hezbollah a slăbit gruparea?„E greu de ştiut din exterior care este impactul, cît de tare au fost loviţi. Cred că destul de tare, pentru că liderul Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, spunea în seara aceasta că lovitura e fără precedent. E clar că gruparea îşi pune nişte întrebări serioase: cum de a putut fi lovită în acest fel, cum de securitatea sa a fost atît de vulnerabilă cînd nu se aşteptau la acest lucru. Atacurile afectează şi credibilitatea Hezbollah ca cea mai mare putere non-statală din Orientul Mijlociu. Este şi o chestiune de răspuns acum, pentru că în Orientul Mijlociu contează foarte mult imaginea pe care o are un actor, fie el statal sau non-statal. Deci, Hezbollah, ca să-şi păstreze această imagine, este cumva obligat la un răspuns pe care nu ştiu dacă şi-l poate permite în acest moment.”Ce impact are seria de atacuri din Liban asupra zonei, și așa marcată de războiul dintre Israel și Hamas?Cătălin Gomboș: „Produce în primul rînd îngrijorare că acest conflict s-ar putea să devină unul regional. Ceea ce nimeni din regiune nu îşi doreşte. După părearea mea, creşte şi ostilitatea care există faţă de Israel la nivelul străzii arabe.”  Apasă pe PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral cu Cătălin Gomboș! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural 

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Material Innovation Initiative (MII) shuts down, published by Nate Crosser on September 18, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The "GFI of vegan materials" is shutting down after operating since 2019. They were an ACE-recommended charity at one point. No rationale is given in the announcement. I asked for more, and will update this post if they respond. Dear Valued Stakeholders, I am writing to you with mixed emotions to share some important news regarding the future of the Material Innovation Initiative (MII). After a thorough evaluation and much deliberation, the board of directors and the executive leadership team have made the difficult decision to wind down MII's operations. While this marks the end of our journey as an organization, we want to take this opportunity to celebrate our many accomplishments and the tremendous growth of the next-gen materials industry, as well as express our gratitude for your unwavering support over the past five years. A Legacy of Impact and Innovation Since our founding in 2019, MII has been at the forefront of transforming the next-gen materials industry. Our mission was clear: to accelerate the development of high-quality, high-performance, animal-free and environmentally preferred next-generation materials. We envisioned a world where the materials used in fashion, automotive, and home goods industries would protect human rights, mitigate climate change, spare animals' lives, and preserve our planet for future generations. Thanks to your support, we have made significant strides towards this vision: Catalyzing Investments: MII has been instrumental in inspiring over $2.31 billion in investments into next-gen materials, including $504 million in 2023 alone. These investments have driven innovation and growth across the sector, enabling the development of materials that meet performance, aesthetic, and sustainability needs at competitive prices. Research and Advocacy: Our pioneering research, such as the U.S. Consumer Research on next-gen materials, revealed that 92% of consumers are likely to purchase next-gen products, highlighting a significant market opportunity. Our State of the Industry reports have been vital resources for innovators, brands, and investors, saving them time and guiding strategic decision-making. Brand Collaborations: We have facilitated groundbreaking partnerships between next-gen material innovators and major brands. In 2023, we saw almost 400 collaborations between influential brands and next-gen material companies, showing the increasing interest from brands to incorporate next-gen materials into their collections. This also illustrates the tremendous potential of next-gen materials to disrupt the fashion, home goods and automotive industries. Global Influence and Advocacy: MII has been appointed to influential roles, such as serving on the New York City Mayor's Office task force to source sustainable materials. Our participation in global events have increased visibility for next-gen materials, reaching audiences across the world and bringing together stakeholders across the value chain to drive collective action. The Evolution of the Industry Since we began our journey in 2019, the landscape of the materials industry has changed dramatically. The concept of next-gen materials has gone from a niche idea to a critical component of sustainability strategies for leading global brands. Today, there are 141 companies dedicated to next-gen materials, up from just 102 in 2022, demonstrating the rapid growth and adoption within the industry. This increased innovation has brought down prices, improved quality, and expanded the range of available materials, making them viable alternatives to conventional animal and petrochemical-derived materials. The industry is now well-positioned to continue advancing towa...

MUSIC After days of speculation as to what the countdown on their website meant, Linkin Park have confused fans again. https://xn--pda.linkinpark.com/ Sean Strickland fired back at MGK with a wild social media post on Tuesday. The former middleweight champion got wind of MGK's comments on the just-released Impaulsive podcast episode where MGK talked about the time he met him.  Sammy Hagar had to call an audible on The Best of All Worlds tour Tuesday in Cincinnati when drummer Jason Bonham had to head home to England due to a family matter. His mother Pat lives there, and a source close to the family tells us, "They are not making any details public as of now."  Congratulations to Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and his wife Chloe, who are expecting their third child. A trailer has been released for the new John Lennon documentary, Daytime Revolution. The film examines the week in February 1972 when Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono co-hosted The Mike Douglas Show. Their guests included Chuck Berry, George Carlin, and activist Ralph Nader. Daytime Revolution opens in theaters on October 9th, Lennon's 84th birthday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkjiRlTVVnQ Journey's Jonathan Cain came out victorious in his lawsuit against bandmate Neal Schon as the Delaware Chancery Court will appoint a third, independent director of Freedom 2020, Inc., their touring company of which they each own 50% and serve as sole directors.   TV Nikki Glaser is set to host the upcoming 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards.  An authorized biopic on actor, comedian, and host, Steve Harvey, called Seventy Two, is currently in the early stages of development.  50-year-old Tyra Banks will return to the catwalk of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time in 19 years.  Former Baywatch cast member Jeremy Jackson was hired at the age of 10 to be on the show, and he overshared in the documentary After Baywatch: Moments in the Sun.  MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: 'The Bear' star Jeremy Allen White says there are two things that are helping him prep for his movie role as Bruce Springsteen in the biopic 'Deliver Me from Nowhere' - and they involve YouTube and advice from The Boss himself.   You've probably noticed that Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis did NOT return for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice". Well, Tim Burton has explained why           GAMING! Creative boost for video games … The CEO of Amazon Games, Christoph Hartmann, has high hopes for artificial intelligence, as the machines work to improve the development of video games. While many people in the field are freaking out and worried about AI taking their jobs, Hartmann believes AI will get rid of the boring parts of the process – and free people up to spend more time on being creative. Nintendo is putting the finishing touches on an epic museum in Kyoto, Japan – which is scheduled to open to the public in early October.

Cu nici 24 de ore înaintea deschiderii oficiale a Jocurilor olimpice de vară de la Paris, preşedintele Franţei Emmanuel Macron oferă, joi seara, o cină de gală în incinta muzeului Luvru. Mii de poliţişti au fost mobilizaţi cu această ocazie pentru a asigura securitatea invitaţilor, printre care se numără şi vreo 100 de şefi de stat şi de guvern.

Ne apropiem cu pași repezi de festivitatea de deschidere a Jocurilor Olimpice de la Paris și presa internațională prefațează evenimentul din diferite unghiuri. Iar controversele nu lipsesc. „Pentru prima dată, din câte știm, Jocurile Olimpice de la Paris ar putea chiar să ajungă la rentabilitate, iar organizatorii speră să scape de problemele care afectează de obicei toate edițiile – legate de infrastructură, locuințe și transport”, anticipează The New York Magazine.Bloomberg consideră că „Olimpiada de la Paris poate contribui la unitatea unui oraș fracturat. În ultimii ani, de la nivelul veniturilor până la accesul la servicii, diferența s-a mărit între cele două milioane de parizieni și cele 10 milioane de locuitori din Ile-de-France. Investițiile masive în suburbii și dezvoltarea rețelei de transport public pentru a conecta mai bine Parisul de periferia sa, vor permite o reechilibrare vitală”, crede Bloomberg.Sau, ”cel puțin Jocurile vor fi făcut posibilă accelerarea transformării ecologice și reamenajarea suburbiilor”, notează El País.Nu lipsesc nici controversele. Una legată de paturile din carton din Satul Olimpic, pe care unii le-au descris drept ”anti-sex”.”Mii de sportivi din întreaga lume se pregătesc să concureze – și să doarmă – la Paris” - informează NBC News.Ca parte a eforturilor organizatorilor de a face ca Jocurile Olimpice din 2024 din capitala Franței să fie „cele mai responsabile și mai durabile Jocuri din istorie”, Satul Olimpic va găzdui paturi de carton realizate din materiale complet reciclate.Citeste siJurnal Olimpic, 22 iulie 2024: Suntem pregătiți (Președintele Macron)”Un total de 14.250 de paturi vor fi răspândite în Satul Olimpic de 54 de hectare din partea de nord a Parisului.Unii sportivi au împărtășit o privire asupra patului de carton pe YouTube înainte de deschiderea oficială a Satului Olimpic”.De fapt – spune Forbes - ”paturile pot suporta 440 de pounds, [aproape 200 de kilograme] și se pare că sunt mai rezistente decât lemnul. Paturile din carton au fost create de multă vreme pentru a fi folosite în adăposturile pentru dezastre. Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo au introdus paturile ca un gest ecologic.O dovadă suplimentară a rezistenței patului vine de la gimnastul irlandez Rhys McClenaghan, care a postat un videoclip în care dezminte zvonurile „anti-sex”. El sare în mod repetat pe patul său de carton, care rămâne încăpățânat de intact. McClenaghan continuă să descrie zvonurile drept știri false”.Și o controversă, de această dată, în registrul grav:Un criminal de război sirian la Jocurile Olimpice?Acuzat de participare activă la reprimarea revoltei împotriva lui Bashar El-Assad, președintele Comitetului Paralimpic Sirian, Omar Al-Aroub, ar putea face parte din delegația oficială siriană, spre marea consternare a oponenților regimul, citim în Courrier International.Potrivit Deutsche Welle, Al-Aroub este un membru înalt al așa-numitelor Brigăzi Baath, o miliție afiliată guvernului Assad. Înainte, a fost lider al Uniunii Naționale a Studenților Sirieni, sau NUSS, care este, de asemenea, legată de regimul Assad.„Torționarul fiului meu va reprezenta Siria la Jocurile Olimpice de la Paris”, scrie activista siriană Mariam El-Hallak, pe site-ul EUObserver. Fiul ei, Ayham a murit după ce a fost torturat cu cruzime de membrii NUSS, mai spune activista.

„Mii de ingineri chimiști care prepară substanțe să producă plăcere, să ne țină agățați” Viața oamenilor s-a schimbat radical în ultima sută de ani. Mâncarea naturală, sănătoasă, obținută în mod organic a fost înlocuită de alimente forțate și apoi procesate și ultraprocesate. Folosirea chimicaleleor a devenit regula și nu excepția. Totul arată frumos, ca de revistă, dar gustul, mirosul și aromele naturale au dispărut de mult. Care sunt fructele și legumele pe care ar trebui să le consumăm vara, primăvara, toamna și iarna. Care sunt beneficiile fructelor de pădure? Cum putem să mâncăm sănătos și să avem un stil de viață benefic pentru organismul nostru? Avem nevoie de carbohidrați și de glucide pentru că ele sunt foarte importante pentru sănătatea creierului. Totuși, unde este limita pentru că în aceeași măsură carbohidrații și dulcele fac rău și aduc uneori chiar boli grave. Poate fi un consumator de carne mai sănătos decât un vegetarian? Când și de ce? Ce se întâmplă cu creierul nostru când postim pentru că atunci când nu mâncăm devenim irascibili. Compenseaza o alimentație perfect sănătoasă o viață stresantă? Cum ar trebui să se alimenteze un om de la țară cu activitate fizică zilnică, față de angajatul modern care muncește mai mult cu creierul și stă mult la birou? Te invit, împreună cu dr.

Last time we spoke about Operation Flintlock, the invasion of Kwajalein. The Americans had unleashed an incredible amount of air, sea and land forces against the Marshall Islands. The amphibious invasion of most of the islands saw little resistance, but on Kwajalein they would meet a determined enemy. The Americans achieved strategic surprise; artillery preparation, naval gunfire, and aerial bombardment had successfully softened up the target in a fashion unexcelled at any other time in the Pacific War; the ship-to-shore movement had been conducted expeditiously and without too many hiccups; supplies flowed ashore and to the front lines relatively smoothly and without interruption; the infantry-engineer teams assisted by tanks moved steadily clearing the enemy from shelters and pillboxes; and American casualties had been fairly light. Altogether, the battle for Kwajalein represented the ideal for all military operations. Then we covered a bit of the Burma front where the allies unleashing an offensive, while the Japanese unleashed Operation HA-GO. This episode is Operation Hailstone: the Smashing of Truk Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  For those who came rushing over to see the scene at Kwajalein descriptions given were comically noted as “a hell of a Spruance Haircut, with some Mitscher shampoo”. Looking down at Roi and Namur a F6F pilot recalled “ it looked like “the moon,” or “plowed ground.” The beach and roads were strewn with the charred and misshapen remains of equipment, tanks, and armored vehicles. I don't think there was a stick of anything standing. It looked just completely beaten up.” A sailor who visited one of the captured atolls had observed “palms were shredded where shells and bomb fragments had made direct hits, leaving stumps that looked like old-fashioned shaving brushes stuck, bristles up, in the sand”. Holland Smith was greatly annoyed by the number of sightseers who came to Kwajalein stating. a “regular tourist haunt. . . . The big army and navy brass from Pearl Harbor descended on us like flies. The photographers had a gala day snapping pictures against the background of shelled buildings, while visiting brass hunted for samurai swords and other souvenirs.”  Meanwhile a single battalion was assigned to capture Majuro, and their battle would consist of walking up some beaches completely unopposed. The Japanese garrison had pulled out a week earlier. Admiral Hill declared the atoll secure only 2 hours after landings were made. Its huge anchorage would accommodate all the mobile floating logistical assets of Service Squadron 10 and for the time being became the principal advance base for the 5th fleet. Jaluit, Mille, Wotje and Maloelap, which had sizable Japanese garrisons, would not be invaded by the Allied forces. Since the Japanese were cut off from outside assistance, the garrisons were doing no harm to the Allied effort, so they would be left alone, thus saving many American and Japanese lives by not forcing the issue.  But Eniwetok Atoll would not be bypassed, because she held the second largest lagoon in the Marshall Islands. As Admiral Nimitz and his commanders considered the repercussions of their surprising quick and low cost victory, they soon elected to accelerate the schedule of future operations in the region. Eniwetok had been originally slabbed for May, but it seemed obvious the Japanese power in the Marshalls was crumbling a lot faster than anticipated. Consequently, Admiral Nimitz knew it would be necessary to capture the atoll to give shelter to all the ships he intended to deploy westward in the drive against the Japanese inner empire. Since it now seemed Brigadier-General Thomas Watson's 8000 reserve troops of the 22nd Marines and the 106th Regiment would no longer be required, Admirals Spruance and Hill began preparing them for the invasion of Eniwetok. However Eniwetok was within Truk's air combat radius, thus to hit Eniwetok, they would first have to neutralize what was called the Gibraltar of the Pacific, Truk. Prior to WW2, Truk was neither well developed nor well defended. Although the US feared the Japanese had been fortifying Truk for nearly two decades; in truth, the Japanese largely ignored Truk after capturing it during WW1. When the Pacific War started on December 7, 1941, only a few coastal batteries and naval minefields added since November 1939 covered the passes into Truk Lagoon. Few other defenses, including inadequate anti-aircraft artillery, protected it. To the US Navy, Truk appeared impregnable and sailors spoke the name in awe‑struck tones. This was because Truk needed few artificial defenses to make it virtually impregnable to surface invasion. Truk was a naturally sheltered and easily defended anchorage, large enough to accommodate the entire IJN and out of range of enemy naval guns. Their defense, however, depended on the air garrison, one of the strongest in Japan's Southeast Pacific theater. Dangerous long‑range reconnaissance flights flown by B‑24s from bases in the Gilberts in December 1943 managed to bring back photos that allowed intelligence officers to map out the air bases and the various anchorages in the lagoon. Analysts thus began to realize there was not as much there as expected. And thus Operations Catchpole and Hailstone were born. Catchpole would be the invasion of Eniwetok while Hailstone would be the neutralization of Truk and as a secondary objective, to discern if Truk could be bypassed similarly as Rabaul or Maloelap  was. Operation Hailstone would be bigger than December's raid against Kwajalein. Vice-Admiral Raymond Spruance's 5th fleet would deploy Task Group 50.9 and three of Task Force 58's four fast carrier task groups. Task Force 50 was under Spruance himself while Admiral Mitscher had command over the carrier task force. Spruance would also had overall command over the operation. Fleet carriers Enterprise, Yorktown, Essex, Intrepid, and Bunker Hill and light carriers, Belleau Wood, Cabot, and Monterey would be launched aircraft in the operation. Admiral Lea would control a fast striking force consisting of light carrier Cowpens, and battleships Iowa, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Alabama, South Dakota and North Carolina. 10 submarines would be lurking like sharks around Truk independently seeing if they could possibly intercept some IJN forces or rescue down US pilots during the attack. To prepare for the operation, on February 4th a lone PB4Y Liberator launched off Torokina's airfield to carry out reconnaissance of Truk. The photos indicated that Truk Lagoon held a battleship, two aircraft carriers, six heavy cruisers and four light cruisers, 20 destroyers, and 12 submarines. The PB4Y was spotted and fired on by warships in the harbor and several fighters were launched to intercept, but only one, a floatplane fighter, came close enough to open fire. The pilot managed to high tail it out of there safely.  The American reconnaissance flight alerted Admiral Koga that they could expect a heavy raid at any moment, so he ordered all his warships to depart the lagoon before February 21st, the date they predicted the Americans would hit. The departure was extremely hasty. 2 auxiliary aircraft carriers had just arrived at Truk the previous month. When the departure order came, they haphazardly unloaded their aircraft in order to leave quickly. The aircraft were left parked nose-to-tail on airport aprons and taxiways. Cargo ships equally hastily unloaded stores so they could leave. Fuel barges were drained to top off the tanks of the Combined Fleet's major units. They had to be tediously refilled from tankers, a task made difficult by choppy seas kicked up by rough weather between February 13 and 15. On February 12, most of the Combined Fleet's major units left Truk for Palau. The light cruiser Agano, previously damaged and under repair, could not depart until February 16. Its departure was so late that it would be caught and sunk by the newly arrived US submarine screen. Other ships were still preparing to leave, their departure delayed by bad weather and slow refueling. Of those ships trapped still at Truk were the 4th fleet of Vice-Admiral Kobayashi Masami, consisting of light cruiser Naka; destroyers Maikaze and Oite, alongside some units of the 8th Fleet and several transports. There were also various auxiliary, destroyer, repair ships, transports and the 6th Fleet of Vice-Admiral Takagi Takeo headquarters. On February 5th, Admiral Hill learnt he would be commanding the Eniwetok expeditionary forces and have less than two weeks to prepare them. Moving up the invasion of Eniwetok required stripping the new garrisons of Kwajalein and Roi-Namur of manpower and supplies. The landing boat crews were green and had no real training with the troops. As recalled by General Watson “the infantry, amphibian tractors, amphibian tanks, tanks, aircraft, supporting naval ships, and most of the staffs concerned had never worked together before.” Yet we will be talking about Eniwetok in the next episode so we will be diving straight into Hailstone. Operation Hailstone had been long on American drawing board. On December 26, 1943, Admiral Nimitz had informed King that he thought the operation would become feasible by the following April, but he pledged to do it earlier if circumstances allowed: “Much depends on extent of damage inflicted on enemy in all areas in next 2 months.” Located 669 miles southwest of Eniwetok, Truk was a colossal atoll, it held a cluster of around a dozen islands near the center of its lagoon. Around 2000 Micronesian natives lived on the islands, mostly in thatch huts on grassy plains and beaches. There was a sense of dread amongst the aviators and crewmen of the task forces assigned to the operation. They were to attack the “mystery base”, Truk had acquired a reputation as an unassailable fortress. It was thought to be a major hub of Japanese airpower, defended by hundreds of crack pilots in Zeros. The task forces sortied westward on February 12th and no Japanese would bother their approach. The carriers got to their assembly point 90 miles northeast of Dublon before sunrise on February 17th. AT 4:43am the operation kicked off when 5 fleet carriers launched 72 Hellcats to go knock out the enemy air power prior to sending in the bombers. This was a new technique Admiral Mitscher had concocted himself. The Japanese were caught completely unprepared, no Japanese aircraft were in the air when radar picked up the incoming aircraft. The IJN's 22nd and 26th Air Flotilla's were on shore leave and their radar had difficulty detecting low flying aircraft, a weakness allied intelligence exploited. Despite this, the Japanese tossed 90 aircraft, half of which attempted to intercept the US fighters without coordination.  Within minutes of combat, 30 Japanese fighters were shot down, by the end of the engagement a total of 55 would fall. The Americans lost 4 Hellcats, and at least one according to VF-6 pilot Alex Vraciu was a victim of friendly fire. “There were dog fights all over the place. I even saw one of our Hellcats shoot another Hellcat down. It was a great deflection shot but . . . one of our guys just shot first before being sure and this other poor pilot was forced to parachute out. In the course of the action, I saw a number of Japanese parachutes in the air.” The American pilots had expected to be facing 200 Japanese aircraft. According to estimates given in postwar interrogations, the Japanese had 68 operational airplanes on the Moen field; 27 on the Dublon field; 20 on Eten and 46 on Param, for a total of 161. Parked on the big field at Eten were some 180 aircraft that were damaged, most grounded for lack of spare parts, or immobilized for lack of aircrews. Most of these would be destroyed on the ground. Although Admiral Koga anticipated the American move against Truk, air and naval forces were not on the alert when the American planes suddenly appeared overhead. According to Masataka Chihaya, a staff officer with the 4 Fleet, the pilots, ground personnel, and ships' crews had been kept in 24hr readiness since the overflight of the 2 marine PB4Ys two weeks earlier, and had reached a state of collective exhaustion. Another factor to the catastrophe was that of morale and even discipline had eroded since the withdrawal of the heavy warships. Pilots had refused to climb into their cockpits when ordered, many had gone absent without leave. The atoll's commander, Vice Admiral Masami Kobayashi, had apparently concluded that the American fleet was still engaged in the Marshalls, and authorized a downgrade in the alert level. On February 16, many pilots and other personnel had left their barracks for R&R. The morning of the American raid found a large proportion of Truk's aviators asleep in the atoll's largest town, on the island of Dublon, having partied pretty hard into the night at local drinking establishments. Their only means of returning to their airfield on the island of Eten was by ferry, and the ferry could not accommodate all of them at once. Many aircraft, both on Eten and on the airfields of Moen and Param islands, had also been disarmed and drained of fuel. Kobayashi's ignominious failure to keep his forces on alert put an end to his naval career; he was relieved of command and then forced to retire from active service. Having swept the skies of opposition by 6:00am, the Hellcats began strafing the seaplane base at Dublon and the airfields on Moen, Eten, and Param, successfully destroying another 40 aircraft on the ground. As the fighter sweep was ending, 18 Avengers emerged dropping their payloads onto the airfields,  neutralizing Truks air power. As such, the living hell created by strafing and bombs saw a total of 125 operational aircraft and 110 air arsenal aircraft get destroyed or seriously damaged on the ground. With Truk's air power neutralized, the next American objective was to hit the shipping in the lagoon, so the carriers then began launching full deckload strikes, staggering the launches so that there were aircraft over Truk virtually continuously for the rest of the day. James D. Ramage, flying a VB-10 Dauntless, noted that several Zeros flew by him without offering combat. He assumed that they were dispirited by the one-sided results of the air fight and were determined to survive it. It was a syndrome that had become increasingly common during the later stages of the South Pacific air campaign.  Due to the lack of air cover or warning, many merchant ships were caught at anchor with only the islands' anti-aircraft guns for defense. At 07:30, the first shipping began to be attacked. Yorktown's bombers rapidly sinking the cargo ship Fujikawa Maru and then bombing the submarine tender Rio de Janeiro Maru was hit by 1,000lb bombs dropped by Yorktown SBD Dauntlesses east of Uman. It stayed afloat, but sank the next day. Another submarine tender, the Heian Maru, headquarters of Vice-Admiral Takagi Takeo was hit twice , but the ship would successfully survive the relentless American attacks, then offloading Takagi on Dublon after sunset. By 9:23am, Lee's battleships, heavy cruisers and destroyers came in to try and catch escaping ships. Some Japanese vessels attempted to flee via the atoll's North Pass; but were bottled up by the aerial attack and by Lee's warships, most of them would be successfully sunk by 13:00.  The famed marine fighter ace Major Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, of the Black Sheep squadron VMF-214, had been shot down and captured off Rabaul a week before Hailstone. Alongside other POW's he was flown into Truk while the raid was developing. As the Betty bomber carrying them rolled to a stop, Pappy and his fellow prisoners were thrown out onto the airstrip. They looked up and were shocked to see an F6F Hellcat flying low over the airfield, walking .50-caliber fire across  parked planes. The bomber from which they had just been ejected went up in a sheet of flame. The Americans were shoved into a pit by the side of the airfield, and watched the action overhead and cheered for the attackers. Pappy recalled this “There was so much excitement I couldn't do any differently. I just had to see those Nip planes, some of the light planes like the Zeros, jump off the ground from the explosion of our bombs and come down “cl-l-l-lang,” just like a sack of bolts and nuts. The planes caught on fire and the ammunition in them began going off. There were 20-mm cannon shells and 7.7's bouncing and ricocheting all around this pit. Some of these hot pieces we tossed back out of the pit with our hands”. Enterprise dive-bombers dropped 1,000-pound armor-piercing bombs on targets chosen from the aerial photos taken earlier. The planes hurtled down through flak bursts and smashed the stationary ships. A bomb hit the stern of the 13,000-ton Hoyo Maru. The 7,000-ton aviation stores ship Kiyozumi Maru and lit her up. A VT-6 Avenger flew low over the ammunition ship, the Aikoku Maru, and landed a bomb dead-center amidships. The target went up in a huge, rolling ball of flame that engulfed the plane and destroyed it. The shockwave was powerful enough to rock Lieutenant Ramage's aircraft, more than 2,000 feet overhead. “It was, I think, the biggest explosion I've ever seen, other than the atomic bombs. It was just an enormous blast.” 5 ships managed to escape the carnage within the lagoon. The light cruiser Katori, auxiliary cruiser Akagi Maru, destroyers Maikaze and Nowaki, and the small trawler, Shonan Maru. Unfortunately for them they ran directly into Lee's force at 1:30pm. Only the destroyer Nowaki managed to outrun the Americans as she fired a spread of torpedoes trying to keep the Americans at a distance. Spruance was ultimately the one who ordered the surface ships to come into the combat area and this resulted in close calls for friendly fire. Mitscher would continuously order pilots to hold back their payloads against fleeing ships and wait for identification first. Many of the aviators would accuse Spruance of seeking to have “the big guns” get their taste of the blood. But the big guns would basically only finish off some crippled ships. Minneapolis and New Orleans sank two immobilized ships with 3-4 salvos. Meanwhile the USS New Jersey nearly took two torpedo hits from a sinking IJN destroyer. American ships came to the ailing IJN vessel trying to pick up survivors, but almost all the Japanese sailors took their own lives. The Iowa would take a bomb hit from a Japanese aircraft, but suffered little damage. If one or more of the American surface ships were hit by torpedoes, it may have very well cost Spruance his command. The ordinarily conservative fleet commander had behaved with impulsive bravado, and it seems for no better reason than a blackshoe's inborn desire to claim a piece of the action for the big guns. Admiral Sherman's tactful conclusion was that “this expedition accomplished little and only complicated the attacks by the carrier planes.” Lieutenant Ramage was less gentle: “So the big battleships finally drew blood against a cruiser that was almost dead in the water. It must have been a great victory.” The death toll for the first day of Hailstone was more than 20 Japanese ships sunk, but the fun was not over. 6-7 Radar-equipped B5Ns capable of tracking ships at night launched perhaps from Rabaul or Saipan, hunting for the US carriers. They were spotted on radar as they approached the US ships. Night fighters attempted to intercept them, but were unable to find them in the darkness. The task force maneuvered to avoid the incoming bombers, which would have worked if the Japanese were using aircraft blindly flying a standard search pattern. However, the radar-equipped Nakajimas detected the course change and continued to home in on the carriers. Between 7:00 and 10:00, the aircraft made several approaches to the US ships, but were kept at a distance by heavy radar-directed anti-aircraft fire. The Yorktown launched a night fighter F4U Corsair at 9:20 to intercept a particularly persistent Nakajima, vectoring the fighter towards the torpedo bomber. But for once, the Japanese used radar to better advantage than the US, so the Corsair never made contact with the Nakajima. The Nakajima was then able to press its attack, launching a torpedo at the USS Intrepid. It struck near the starboard quarter, jamming the rudder, killing 11 aboard, and wounding 17. The B5N that dropped the torpedo apparently escaped unharmed. Intrepid was in no danger of sinking, but made her way to Majuro to be safe. The Americans then launched their own night attack on Japanese shipping in Truk Atoll. At 2:00 am, the USS Enterprise launched a flight of 12 radar-equipped Avengers to attack the surviving Japanese ships in Truk Lagoon. Each aircraft was armed with 4 500-pound bombs. The concept of performing a low-altitude night attack, with the planes guided to the targets by radar alone, had been studied and discussed but never attempted before. It required the pilots to navigate to Truk on instruments alone. Once over the lagoon, they circled over the anchorages until radar echoes provided an image of the targets. The mission would be a tactical breakthrough, unprecedented in the annals of aviation or naval history. Lieutenant Commander William I. Martin, who trained the airmen, recalled “Radar displays at that time required an operator to do a great deal of interpreting. It was like learning a new language. Instead of it being a polar plot, looking down on it like a map, the cathode ray tube just gave indications that there was an object out there. After considerable practice, a radar operator could determine that there was a ship there and its approximate size. You related the blip on the radar scope to the image of the ship”. In about 30 minutes, the Avengers made 25 passes over Dublon and Eten, scoring 13 direct hits on ships, two on rocky islets mistaken for ships and seven near misses. As a result, around 12 vessels were sunk during the attack, including the Heian Maru. It was a remarkable performance by a dozen aircraft in the US Navy's first carrier-launched night attack.  The following dawn, Mitscher sent another fighter sweep, though it would not be very effective as the Japanese had basically no surviving aircraft in the area. 200 aircraft met negligible air opposition over the atoll as they worked over the remaining targets at their leisure. Hundreds of incendiaries were dropped on smoking airfields, parking areas, and hangars. The bombers paid special attention to the fuel tank farms, which had been spared on the first day in order to prevent smoke from obscuring visibility. By noon, Japanese resistance was almost non-existent and there were no more worthwhile targets, so Spruance and Mitscher decided to call a halt to the attacks, as it was considered that Truk no longer posed a threat to the Eniwetok invasion.  Hailstone cost the Americans 12 fighters, 7 torpedo bombers, 6 dive bombers and 2 floatplanes. 29 aircrew died; and 28 sailors died aboard the Intrepid. The operation had been one of the most smashing carrier raids of the Pacific war. Though most of Japan's heavy naval units had fled the lagoon, the Americans had sunk three light cruisers, four destroyers, three auxiliary or training cruisers, and six other naval auxiliaries. In addition, around 30 merchant ships were sent to the bottom of the lagoon, including 5 precious oil tankers. The total shipping losses approached 200,000 tons and many of those vessels had been laden with munitions and other supplies that could not be recovered. 17,000 tons of fuel went up in the attack, at a time when fuel was running very short for the Japanese. The Japanese lost 249 aircraft, most on the ground. As Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison would later write, “Courage and determination the Navy had shown from the first, but in the Marshalls it demonstrated mastery of the art of amphibious warfare; of combining air, surface, submarine and ground forces to project fighting power irresistibly across the seas. The strike on Truk demonstrated a virtual revolution in naval warfare; the aircraft carrier emerged as the capital ship of the future, with unlimited potentialities.” The IJN Combined Fleet would never return to Truk; the 4th Fleet headquarters remained at Truk, but its warships left; and the transports carrying the 52nd Division to Truk, some of which had arrived on February 19, hastily unloaded and quickly departed. Vice-Admiral Kobayashi Masami was held responsible for the defeat and would consequently be relieved of his command, never to return to active duty. But that's it for the Marshall Islands campaign for now as we are shifting over to the south pacific.  In preparation for the invasion of the Admiralty Islands, the allies first would need to seize the Green islands, situated 117 miles southeast of Rabaul. Admiral Halsey had been tasked with landing General Barrowclough's 3rd New Zealand Division consisting of the 14th Brigade; Special Army Tank Squadron; 17th Field Regiment; 29th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment; 144th Independent Battery; 53rd Anti-Tank Battery; 967th Coast Artillery Battalion; Naval Base Unit No. 11 and other supporting units. Halsey assigned Admiral Wilkinson to command the operations. He would transport the men in 3 echelons using a plethora of Destroyers, Destroyer Transports and countless landing crafts. AirSols would be providing coverage alongside Admiral Merrill's Task force 39 consisting of light cruisers Cleveland, Columbia and Montpelier; and destroyers Charles Ausburne, Dyson, Stanly, Spence and Converse. There would also be Admiral Ainsworths Task force 38. Wilkinsons echelons departed Vella Lavella and the Treasury islands On February 12th and 13th. They met near Bougainville and together advanced towards the departure line off Barahun Island. The Americans expected Rabaul's airforce to be greatly depleted by this point, but the convoy was still harassed by 15 Vals and 17 Zeros during the night of February 14th. 10 vals managed to score a hit and 3 near misses against cruiser St Louis, killing 23 men and causing moderate damage. The bombers also tried attacking the landing craft, but apart from a near miss on LST-446, the landing would proceed quickly and smoothly. The landing craft began taking off on the morning of February 15th as AirSols fighters gained air supremacy over the skies of Nissan Island. 32 fighters form Squadron 14, RNZAF, commanded by Squadron Leader S. G. Quill, and Squadrons 1 and 18, commanded by Squadron Leader J. A. Oldfield, both kept 18 aircraft continuously over the island until dusk, flying sorties from the airfields at Empress Augusta Bay.  12 Japanese bombers would be reported shot down. This was the last air opposition encountered during Operation Squarepeg. With such a numerous  fleet sending thousands of troops ashore with impunity only 115 miles from Rabaul proved AirSols was a force to be reckoned with. Ferried ashore in LCIs and LCVPs, into the lagoon in southern Barahun Island, the troops would disembark at several landing beaches around the Pokonian and Tangalan Plantations.  Within just 2 hours, about 5800 New Zealanders were ashore. Patrols were then sent out, and carrying parties began moving stores off the beaches further inland. As the beachhead was established, there was only a brief resistance from several Japanese barges around Sirot Island, before a perimeter was established. By nightfall, in addition to the aforementioned troops, Wilkinson had also landed 58 jeeps, 67 trucks, 44 guns, 8 Valentine tanks, 426 tons of petrol in drums, 2000 gallons of fresh water in tins, and 267 tons of rations. The following day, as the Kiwis fanned out along Nissan Island, about 21 Japanese were encountered on Sirot. Late that afternoon, natives reported that an unspecified number of Japanese had taken refuge on the densely wooded island of Sirot, and the task of clearing the island was assigned to B Company, led by Captain D. Dalton. The Japanese were swiftly dealt with, but the Kiwi's would suffer 5 deaths and 3 wounded in the firefight. On February 18, patrols from the 37th Battalion reached the northern tip of Nissan Island and reported it clear while the 30th and 35th Battalions dealt with a large group of Japanese at the south point of the island. The Kiwis accidentally came upon the remaining Japanese garrison on 20 February, in an area previously declared clear by patrols. It was along the coast near a few deserted native huts passing as the village of Tanaheran on the map. On February 19, the remaining 100-man Japanese garrison signed off on their radio ‘We are charging the enemy and beginning radio silence'.The Kiwi's suffered 3 deaths and 11 wounded. The Japanese had been overwhelmed and annihilated. The next day the second echelon of Admiral Fort arrived. Organized resistance had ceased. In total, 120 Japanese had been killed against the 13 killed and 24 wounded of the Allied forces.  With the Green Islands under their control, the Allied forces now needed to do something about the 1200 friendly native Melanesians whose taro gardens and coconut groves were about to be turned into airfields. The answer was a temporary evacuation to Guadalcanal. This was explained to the natives' head men, and, as the Melanesians are born rovers, the prospect of a boat ride to the Solomons and free food there was highly pleasing. Accordingly, "Grandpa" Roger Cutler's LSTs of the Second Echelon took on the function, new even for Love-Sugar-Tares, of evacuating natives; and so well was this done that by the time the flotilla of Melanesian Mayflowers reached Guadalcanal the 1147 embarked had increased to 1148. The Green Islands would prove to be a very useful link in the strangling of Rabaul, with a PT base immediately opening on February 17 and with a new fighter strip being completed by March 4, which for the first time put Kavieng within range of AirSols fighters and bombers. But now we have to shift over to the boys in New Guinea. The last time we were in New Guinea, the Australians were in hot pursuit of General Nakano's men. On February 3rd, the 30th battalion of Lieutenant-Colonel William Parry-Okeden had set off from Singor to take over for the 4th battalion at Crossington. The next day, the Australians reached Nemau and the day after that established a new supply beach at Butubutu. On that same day orders came in stating all commanders must make every endeavor to capture prisoners. This prompted Cameron to call off the Papuans from leading the advance and sent the leading Papuan platoon to reconnoiter the inland trails while the infantry led the advance on the right. The men advanced sluggishly as a result of the mixture of muddy tracks and enemy corpses. They reached Roinji 1 on the 6th then Roinji 2 on the 7th. During the afternoon the Papuans reached Gali 1 where they managed to kill 24 Japanese stragglers and captured 3 prisoners. Each day the Papuans killed on average 10-15 Japanese, but it was not until the 8th when they encountered a real Japanese rearguard at Weber Point. The Papuans performed a frontal assault killing 53 Japanese and captured another 4 prisoners. By the night on February 9, the leading company was 2000 yards west of Malalamai and 3500 yards from the American's most forward outpost at Yagomai when they fought another larger group of Japanese. 61 Japanese were killed and 9 prisoners taken in the day; and on February 10, the 30th Battalion at last reached Yagomai. Here they finally linked with the American force at Saidor. It was decided that the 5th Division would not operate west of the Yaut, so Brigadier Cameron was instructed to mop up the Tapen and Nokopo areas. Meanwhile, the 35th Battalion advanced towards Bwana, where they killed 31 Japanese. On the 18th, the Australians killed 40 Japanese at Gabutamon and another 142 in the Tapen area; 3 days later, they attacked Wandiluk, where they killed 57 Japanese. After the 22nd, the pursuit was largely carried on by the Papuans towards Nokopo. During this time until March 1st, the 8th Brigade reported killing 734 Japanese, found 1793 dead and took 48 prisoners. The Australians and Papuan had suffered 3 deaths and 5 wounded. Despite his losses, General Nakano and his men had yet again cheated death. In a letter on 21st March Lt General Frank Berryman wrote: "About 8,000 semi-starved, ill equipped and dispirited Japanese bypassed Saidor. It was disappointing that the fruits of victory were not fully reaped, and that once again the remnants of 51st Division escaped our clutches." Meanwhile General Morshead had been planning to relieve the 7th division with the fresh 11th division Major-General Allan Boase. But General Vasey convinced him instead to let him take over the drive on Madang by the end of January. Now the 58th/59th Battalion relieved the 2/10th in the right-hand sector from 4100 through Crater Hill and Kankirei Saddle to Cam's Hill, with the task of patrolling the area east of Cam's Hill, the headwaters of the Mosa River, and forward along the upper Mindjim River Valley to Paipa 2. The 57th/60th relieved the 2/9th on the left with positions on the 4100 Feature, the Protheros and Shaggy Ridge, and the task of patrolling forward from Canning's Saddle along the high ground west of the Mindjim. The 24th Battalion relieved the 2/12th in reserve.  Now Brigadier Hammer had the task of patrolling forward from the Kankirei Saddle. As typical for New Guinea, the terrain facing them would be formidable. Hammer had this to say in a report "The country in the Finisterre Ranges is rugged, steep, precipitous and covered with dense rain forest. It rains heavily almost every day thus making living conditions uncomfortable. By day it is hot, by night three blankets are necessary. There is, therefore, a constant battle with mud, slush, rain and cold. To allow freedom of movement over this mud it was necessary to corduroy every track in the area." By late February Hammer dispatched a number of small patrols towards Amuson and Saipa 2. On the right flank Lt Brewster with a patrol from the 58th/59th investigated the valley of the Mosa River as far as Amuson, and returned after 4 days reporting the area was clear. In the central area a patrol from the 57th/60th brushed with an enemy patrol near Saipa 2, with some support from the guns of the 4th Field Regiment. On the 28th a patrol from the 57th/60th, led by Lt Besier, attacked Saipa 2 three times with supporting artillery fire, but all attempts to enter the village were repulsed. On February 26, the 58th/59th Battalion was instructed to establish a company patrol base on Amuson and send out a platoon reconnaissance patrol to the coast in the Mindjim-Melamu area, which managed to establish some observation posts overlooking Astrolabe Bay in early March. Hammer also sent the 57th/60th Battalion to the Paipa area in preparation for an attack on Saipa 2.  Meanwhile, after the conclusion of Operation Dexterity on February 10th General Krueger handed command to Major-General William Gill over the Saidor area and he began to bring the remaining elements of his 32nd division.  Gill then began plans for a secondary landing at the Yalau Plantation, around 30 miles west of Saidor. He hoped to establish a new forward base there and possibly intercept enemy stragglers trying to bypass the Saidor area.The 2nd battalion, 126th regiment led by Lt Colonel Oliver O. Dixon successfully landed on March 5th. 54 landing crafts unloaded 1348 within 9 waves, seeing little to no opposition. As men patrolled east and west from Yalau, they encountered and killed a few Japanese and found many already dead. They would reach Bau Plantation on March 9th, where they ran into a detachment of General Nakai's 3rd battalion, 239th regiment. But yet again we must not shift our attention somewhere we have not been in quite some time, the Indian Ocean.  The Commander in Chief, Southwest Area Fleet, Vice-Admiral Takasu Shiro had decided to dispatch heavy cruisers Aoba, Chikuma, and Tone, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sakonju Naomasa, to raid Allied shipping on the main route between Aden and Fremantle. Departing the Lingga Islands on February 27, the heavy cruisers were escorted by light cruisers Kinu and Ōi and 3 destroyers through the Sunda Strait. The raiders were also supported by 10 medium bombers and 3-4 seaplanes based in Sumatra and west Java which conducted patrols in the direction of Ceylon. 3-4 submarines from the 8th Flotilla also monitored Allied shipping movements near Ceylon, the Maldive Islands and Chagos Archipelago. On March 6th the allies detected the force near the Lombok Strait. Fearing a possible attack, Western Australia was reinforced and the British Eastern Fleet was diverted. On the morning of March 9th, Sakonju's cruiser came across the 6200 ton British steamer Behar between Fremantle and Colombo. Upon sighting the Japanese ships, Behar's Captain Maurice Symons, ordered that his radio operator transmit the "RRR" code in order to notify other ships and Allied bases that the merchant ship was being attacked by surface raiders. Tone's signals room picked up the message,. The Tone then began signaling repeatedly to the Behar to surrender, but the Behar continued to flee, prompting the cruiser to open fire. Behar was hit a few times to her prow and stern, killing 3 crewmembers. Within 5 minutes Behar's crew and passengers began abandoning ship as she sank. 104-108 survivors were rescued by the Tone. Following the attack, Sakonju believed it was too dangerous to continue raiding as Behar had sent out a distress signal. So he turned back, reaching Tanjung Priok on March 15th.  Shortly after the Behar survivors were rescued, Sakonju sent a radio message to Tone's commanding officer, Captain Mayuzumi Haruo, reprimanding him for taking non-essential personnel prisoner and not capturing the merchant ship. In this message Sakonju ordered that the survivors be killed. Mayuzumi was unwilling to do so, however, as he felt that this would violate his Christian religious beliefs. His executive officer, Commander Mii Junsuke, also opposed killing the prisoners deeming it dishonorable. Mayuzumi radioed a request to Sakonju that the prisoners be put ashore, but this was rejected. The captain then visited Aoba to argue his case, but Sakonju remained unmoved and told Mayuzumi to "obey my orders". Despite his misgivings, Mayuzumi ultimately decided to kill the prisoners. On the night of March 18, all the prisoners on board Tone were beheaded by several of the cruiser's officers. Mayuzumi watched the killings from the ship's bridge but Mii refused to take part. The number of the crew to be executed was between 65 and at least 100. Following the massacre 15-36 survivors were transferred to Aoba. The party sent to Aoba included Symonds, the Behar's chief officer and several of the senior officers as well as both of the ship's female passengers. All of this group were later landed at Tanjung Priok. After the war, the Allies prosecuted the officers responsible for the murders on board the Tone. Vice Admiral Takasu died from disease in September 1944, but Sakonju was tried by the British in 1947 at Hong Kong and sentenced to death and executed 21 January 1948. Mayuzumi was convicted for his role in the killings and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment. Sakonju stated in his affidavit that he was 'retaliating against the execution and inhuman treatment of Japanese prisoners by the allies in Guadalcanal'. Mayuzumi stated in his defense that he was following Sakonju's orders. Mayuzumi received a light sentence due to his repeated requests for clemency for the prisoner's lives.

Operation Hailstone saw what was once called the Gibraltar of the Pacific, Truk nearly annihilated. She could no longer be counted upon to thwart allied sea and air units in the region. The Australians on New Guinea were not letting up on the retreating Japanese and a terrible and needless massacre took place in the Indian Ocean.

For our 51st podcast episode, I discussed a contensious topic in the neonatal world, Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Although it is a common occurrence amongst all infants, the lack of updated, clear, and consistent diagnostic and management recommendations remains, especially for the NICU population. Due to my personal and professional experiences, it is difficult for me to have one solid stance on the topic. As a former NICU nurse, I saw so many infants experience reflux. As a NICU parent, my son William, struggled with reflux once we brought him home and yes, at that time, it was managed with medication. And finally, now as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I am more knowledgeable about what the evidence does and does not show regarding reflux and I understand its complexity. So I can fully appreciate how nurses advocate for their patients. I also completely acknowledge the internal battle parents endure as they helplessly watch their baby grapple with reflux and its associated symptoms, and I also embrace what the research has shown and why providers do not hastily start infants on reflux medications. Tune in now to learn the difference between Gastroesophageal Reflux and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, some common symptoms, and how it is typically diagnosed. Be amazed as I debunk some of the common myths and conditions that are thought to be associated with GERD. Additionally, listeners will also walk away with a better understanding of the most up-to-date recommendations for the management of GER and GERD including non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments. So sit back and get ready to be empowered as we discuss Gastroesophageal Reflux.

30-tisíc ľudí evakuovali z ostrova Rodos, medzi nimi aj stovky slovenských dovolenkárov. Rozsiahle požiare v Grécku zatiaľ hasiči nemajú pod kontrolou, horí na viac ako 80-tich lokalitách.

Die Medizininformatikinitiative (MII) gibt es in der ersten Förderphase schon seit 2018 und gerade ist die zweite Förderphase (Ausbau- und Erweiterungsphase) gestartet. Höchste Zeit, um auch bei uns im Podcast mal darüber zu sprechen. Weil es so viel zu besprechen gibt, sind dieses Mal gleich zwei Gäste dabei, die seit Beginn aktiv in die MII eingebunden sind: Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Prokosch und Prof. Dr. Thomas Ganslandt aus Erlangen. In aller Kürze sprechen wir über Strukturen und Akteure, nennen die Konsortien und gehen vor allem auf die Aspekte der Förderphase 2023 (Use-Cases) ein, ehe wir einen Ausblick geben, wie es in den kommenden Jahren weiter geht.

ICEBREAKERWhat is your favorite city track (if you can, include variation) in Mario Kart Tour?AUTUMN TOUR CITY TOURSBigBroLoIn the last 6 months we have been hit with 3 "All City Tours". Metropolitan Tour (European), Anniversary Tour (Mixed), Autumn Tour (North American). Is this just a buff catch up on old City Tracks, or is it time to take City tracks more seriously? StudfitWe heard Antilev give a VERY slight value to city tracks in his algorithm this tour. How much are you personally valuing city tracks? Have you invested in any items this tour; if so, did its city coverage help?StudfitDo items like Gold Petey getting 5 city buffs impact it's value in your mind? If you did invest in Gold Petey, would you rather have him remain as a middleweight coinbox driver and get only 2 city buffs or get his rightful heavyweight coinbox adjustment with 5 city buffs?ANIMAL TOURMattYT Now that we know we are getting Dk mountain and still no kong alt, could this seriously mean we may never get another kong? 2022 ended up being the year of Luigi, if Nintendo continue to hone in on certain characters - which one would you like to see get a glow up in 2023 with more alts?Rakker85A lot of people this tour said: get these eagle karts as their hitbox width is so huge. Now next tour we get another 3 karts with above average or even very big hitbox (tanooki, rambi and offroader). Their start is much much better, so these eagle karts are doomed and probably end up like most of the MK2s?MilliWe're getting 3 fan-favorite kart re-skins, which one will you be going for? Camo Tanooki (Camooki?), Gold Rambi or Cow Moo Offroader?MilliAnother huge gold kart which will presumably be a gold pass gift. Would it be unreasonable to assume that this will be a regular thing every tour now?SPOTLIGHT SHOPWuhuLoopMKTWith the New spotlight shop could you start to see some whales buy a glider like blackstar 3 times since items in the ruby spotlight shop are limited to 3 per tour. Thoughts?EDietelActual question: Other than coin rush, what are you spending your rubies on? I have decided to invest in the Mii suits. Nintendo is clearly never going to cap them, and - for legacy accounts like mine - the spotlight shop has felt lackluster. Is this the perfect time for mii-resisters like myself to give up the fight?MII SUITSBigBroLoWith the Mii base points possibly hitting 2k by New Years Tour. Would you consider investing in a Dud Skill Mii? Why or Why not? StudfitThere have been discussions of a “Mii Cap” where base points stop being added at some point. Sammy stated today, he's riding this fine line of investing in most Mii's not all in case there is a cap added. What do you think of this strategy of being able to pivot in the event a cap is added, or could this strategy of having one foot in two canoes backfire?INVESTMENT ADJUSTMENTSBobLoblobIf we assume this pace of new tracks is the new normal with nearly every tour debuting 8+ completely new tracks in the rotation, how are you adjusting (if at all) what you choose to level up and how far you will level up debut items?ER Rakker85A couple of months back set the goal to have items of at least 6-2 on every retro non-city track. With the introduction of the spotlight shop Nintendo is giving us every tour: not one but two new tracks, a new battle track and on top of that 1 or 2 new RT tracks (Shy Garden and Baby Park RT the upcoming tour). Is my goal of having at least decent (level 6 double uncapped) coverage still valid? So perhaps having decent coverage on EVERY track isnt necessary anymore?BATTLE MODEBigBroLoWhat has been everyones strategy with New York Minute Battle course? Any pro tips for those farming a

Victor nu e tipologia obișnuită de antreprenor. Dar e unul dintre cei mai interesanți oameni pe care-i cunosc. Este creatorul mișcării ”Cărțile pe Față”, și al asociației cu același nume. În aproape zece ani, a apropiat sute de mii de oameni mari și de copii de lumea magică a cărților și lecturii. Această lume, crede Victor, îți poate schimba viața. L-am cunoscut pe Victor în 2014 și am rămas uimită de umorul și creativitatea lui și de capacitatea de imagina proiecte, de a convinge oamenii și a-i aduce la un loc.

Își petrece mare parte din timp în țară, în biblioteca mobilă BookTruck, împreună cu copiii din cele mai sărace zone ale României. Cărțile, spune Victor, le deschid calea către o altă viață. Visul lui este fiecare sat să aibă un librar și o bibliotecă și fiecare om să citească două cărți pe lună. Am vorbit cu el despre cum să devii mai creativ, despre umor ca instrument pentru a convinge oamenii, despre răspunsurile importante pe care le-a găsit în cărți, despre cum să-ți păstrezi vie motivația și puterea magică a unei misiuni generoase. Victor Miron trăiește în Cluj și este, de asemenea, fondator și curator al TEDx Zorilor. Veți găsi în conversația noastră o groază de idei despre cum să folosiți lectura pentru a vă face viața mai bună. **** Acest podcast este prezentat de eMAG, o companie care crede în educație și în puterea oamenilor de a folosi tehnologia pentru a crea un viitor mai bun. **** Acest podcast este susținut de Dedeman, o companie antreprenorială 100% românească ce crede în puterea de a schimba lumea prin ambiție, perseverență și implicare.

What was your strategy (Where did you start, how did you keep track of which cities you grinded, did you drain to move on or just skim off the top of all)?ANNIVERSARY TOUR:29:02 - Did you pull for King Mario? It seemed like the worst value (all city tracks) and hardest to acquire (non-spotlight with 15 options) but with pipes going away, so many pulled for him. Was Nintendo trying to make us hate pipes enough we would feel a “good riddance” to ruby pipe pulls or was this their last chance at the “cash grab” before the game moves to new markets (that had banned gacha games).3.0.0. UPDATE:59:10 - Regarding the “try again” option after update, it seems like Nintendo was trying to make boomboxing easier now. If you restart a race, you get the same lobby but with a different starting lineup. So imagine you have 2 coinbox bots in your lobby starting place 7th and 8th, you just finish a race, press try again and the two coinbox bots will be in different starting spots. You just finish a couple of race and your coinbox bots will be in spots 1 to 4. Will you boombox more often and/or invest more into boomerang drivers?1:30:08 - How many cap tickets will it take to quad cap something? 15, 16, 20 or other (talks of a golden ticket earned in order to quad cap)1:37:48 - Do you believe Miis will be able to be Quad Capped? There's a group (mostly people who didn't invest in Miis) that believe Nintendo will save the Meta by denying Mii suits the ability to be quad capped. Others (mostly people who didn't invest in Miis) would wonder why Nintendo would turn their back on their beloved Mii Suits they've glorified all year (and the whales who invested in them) by rewarding the players who ignored the “hype”.1:42:20 - Assuming a HE quad cap would cost 20 tickets, would you rather quad one driver/kart/glider or triple cap two?1:59:15 - With the Tier increase from 80 to 99, will the rewards change? Especially with the expectation of 20 cap tickets needed for a quad cap.FINAL THOUGHTS:2:05:10 - Advice to New Players & Goodbyes

Or are they trying to better their game in a last ditch effort to draw in new players? Or is it neither, simply an update part of Mario Kart Tour's progression? What is going on?41:14 - I'm having a very tough time figuring out where the game goes from here. Removing the gambling element from the game is huge for me. What actually separates this game from all the other racing games out there? Where's the draw? They should've just made a different game and left tour alone.52:13 - Not really a question, but I feel like a HE driver may be sold for around 75 rubies. When you spend 75 rubies thru coin rush, you get approx 12k coins, exactly the price of a HE driver ticket. Karts and Gliders then can you for 60 rubies. A full set comes out at 195 rubies. HEs from the regular pool should be slightly cheaper, say 60 and 50 respectively. Then you get 6 HEs for 355 which is less than 450, but this should in fact be the case as sometimes you get all HE before you empty the pipe Of course they can throw all kinds of exotic options in the mix, like get a discount for a dkg bundle, pair a new HE with an old regular pool HE, get a discount on first purchase, discount for GP players etc.**BATTLE MODE:**1:01:52 - With the upcoming MP update, is the battle mode hype still up? In MK8, the original battle mode was not played on battle courses, but rather on the default tracks. Is that a possibilty to solve the no-breaking issue? How else would they solve this issue? Or will they just add more ranks to MP, possibly with more rewards? Suits are thrown out every tour, maybe one for reaching highest rank?**MARIO VS LUIGI TOUR:**Of all new 2022 retro tracks is the one you are looking forward the least? Will N and R be hard to nonstop combo on the straight?**DRIVERS / MIIS:**1:09:57 - A part of me is wondering with all the Mii's and plus skill characters if the thought process in the community needs to shift from the meta and focus more on overlap. There's too much for 95% of players to invest into. Heck I've got Gold Egg Yoshi and silver Mii suit at L1, several other plus skill drivers at L4-5 I want to level up, plus now a new coinboxer! It's too much.1:17:15 - I love the Rundown, love the rankings. But what does it matter to me if someone shoots up into the Top 10 if at L7 double capped they'd only give me 4 new tracks. I know this is the function of the trackers, but I'm curious if anyone else feels that with the abundance of plus skills, including the Mii's, relative to the quantity of HE tickets, if we need to start focusing much more on overlap and types of overlap1:35:36 - How much does coverage matter anymore? At what point do you just invest in the new items you like and throw caution to the wind?1:42:43 - Which Coinboxer should I level up?1:50:05 - Are there any non top 15 items that have helped you tremendously this year?**FINAL THOUGHTS:**2:02:05 - What advice would you give to new players?

Hi, MiI fans! We're happy to introduce you to Le Monstre, the newest TenderfootTV true crime series you won't want to miss. However, you don't have to just take our word for it. Check out this trailer to decide for yourself! About Le Monstre: In the 80s and 90s, a serial killer, pedophile, and kidnapper, Marc Dutroux, terrorized the country of Belgium. His unspeakable crimes and the incompetence or unwillingness of law enforcement agencies to stop him brought the entire country of Belgium to the brink of revolution. With hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in protest. Le Monstre will tell the story of these crimes and their aftermath, known as the Dutroux Affair, in an attempt to address unanswered questions, and to hopefully bring closure to one of the darkest chapters in Belgium's history. Listen and subscribe to Le Monstre on the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Axe of the Blood God, Kat, Nadia, and Eric have a (digital) devil of a time talking about Soul Hackers 2. They're joined by Fanbyte.com superstars Michael Higham and Diego Argüello, who both have plenty to say about this strange game. It appears Soul Hackers 2 strives to land somewhere between the dark, complex Shin Megami Tensei games, and the character-driven Persona titles. Does Soul Hackers 2 hit the mark? Or does it just hee-ho off into the sunset, destined to be forgotten? Also in this episode: The preliminary sales numbers for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are looking pretty fine The Embracer Group acquires everything on planet earth, including Lord of the Rings Riku the Nopon refuses to die for your sins; you don't deserve redemption The gang talks about "'The Garden of Eden', by I. Ron Butterfly" In the Post Show Michael Higham and Diego Argüello sit in on this week's post show, and the whole thing derails in about six seconds. The conversation bounces from religion to literature to something about furries and the Metaverse.

This tour he hasn't logged in and isn't sending greeting coins. How long before it is acceptable to replace him on the friends list?**FRIEND LIST:**14:25 - Will Nintendo ever expand the friends list to 75? 100?15:48 - Will Nintendo ever add that “give all friends greetings coins” option for better sending?**BOWSER TOUR:**18:14 - What are your thoughts on the Bowser Tour, in general?30:20 - Also, new Offroader re-skin. Everyone's favorite kart, hooray. Potential new CB? Not so hooray!40:39 - We are seeing plenty of new karts and gliders next tour, but only one new driver being Gold Charging Chuck, who doesn't even seem to be in the spotlight pipes. There was a similar situation in the Sundae Tour with only one driver, but several karts and gliders. Is this a result of the Miis taking over? Will we start to see even more karts and gliders opposed to less drivers, due to the Miis dominating the driver scene?**MII SUITS**47:00 - How do you see the Mii drivers progressing? They don't have the raw coverage but have the unpredictability of cup boosts and the built in base point advantage. While traditional plus skill drivers tend to have more coverage and an occasional cup boost. Should we only be investing in Mii drivers or will their day come and go much like a fad?51:39 - What is the best way to grow an account that does not invest heavily in Mii suits? Is it foolish to do it that way? Can a top 1000/top 100/top 10 player expect to remain competitive without Mii suit investments? **INVESTMENTS:**1:13:33 - What is the thought process on the recent track selection where we have has the same tracks shoved down our throats the last 4 tours e.g. Coconut Mall, etc. Next tour looks to have a new variety of tracks, what are your thoughts on this trend?1:20:03 - One consequence with getting a lot of the same tracks over and over (WS, KC, RMX VL, CM) is that items receive a lot less buffs and it takes longer before you can tell whether a new item is good for your account or not. Examples this tour: lightning streamliner (introduced 2 tours ago) not a single non-city buff and some items from last tour only got 1 non-city buff and in most cases an older track (DP, VL). How do you react to this? 1:23:05 -  Do you gamble more with investing without knowing much about its future value or do you keep more items at level 1 longer (maybe 5 or 6 tours instead of 2 or 3)? How do you value the potential tracks something hasn't seen yet vs established value?**PREFERENCES:**1:35:01 - Of all of the tracks that have been seen in Mario Kart Tour, which tracks do you recommend if you want to boombox?1:50:52 - Should the Gold Mii Suit be the Number 1 Driver? Should a driver that only around half the community got from getting Tier 80 be the top spot, even if most people do not have it?**FINAL THOUGHTS:**1:59:30 - What advice would you give to new players? Thanks for watching!

“We need to move away from animal derived materials, but we also need to move away from petroleum based traditional materials. So what is out there, what can we do? That demand is strong and supply is where the issue is.”  - Sydney Galdman     On June 12th the New York Times put out an article titled, How Fashion Giants Recast Plastic as Good for the Planet. The article, written by Hiroko Takeuchi, caused quite a stir within the Species Unite and I'm sure many other vegan communities. It criticizes something called the Higg Index, a suite of tools that assesses social and environmental impacts of products, including animal based and synthetic materials. The article left many people confused and I received a lot of emails asking me, “should we even be wearing vegan leather?” (The answer is yes.)   In order to be better able to explain what the article was really about, I needed some help. So, I reached out to my friend Nicole Rawling, the executive director at the Material Innovation Initiative (MII), the non-profit that's advancing next gen materials. Next gen materials are high performance, animal free and more sustainable for fashion, automotive and home goods. MII provides expertise while bringing all the key players together to get these materials from concept to commercialization.   Nicole introduced me to Sidney Gladman, the chief scientific officer at MII and Ranjani Theregowda, MII's environmental data scientist, so that they could answer my many questions about the article, about the future of materials as well as our current situation. I have been excited about next gen materials for a long time, but I'm even more so after speaking with them. It's happening - we're on the way and to a future that no longer uses animals for fashion, autos, and home goods. And, MII is doing everything that they can to speed that future up.   LINKS: https://www.materialinnovation.org/   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/materialinnovation/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MaterialInnovation/

NO tour with a new retro track is a filler tour to me; it's that simple. The term filler tour really came around in year 2 when the game seemed to be spinning its wheels, revisiting old tracks or R/T variants with hardly any new content, and the use of the term has gotten out of hand. Just because we've been spoiled with + skill drivers, fests, and longer, more epic retro tracks doesn't mean that a "normal" tour is a filler tour. No matter how boring Baby Park is or even if its not perfect for MKT, its still a hall of fame retro track and it looks phenomenal. There was a time when even getting this track woulda been a huge deal. Sorry, got triggered there and had to call it out! :D17:48 - We've discussed filler tours and their definition in the past, Is the Cat Tour a “filler tour”? Would it be considered an exciting tour last year but considered a “filler tour” in 2022 with all the new tracks, items, celebrations/fests?28:27 - Are there any new cat or baby items you're investing in coming out of this tour? 28:57 - Does the fact we're heading into a two tour city fest bury the value of these new cat or baby items or does starting with 6-8 newer available tracks this tour (Sky Garden, Yoshi Valley, Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Cape, etc) hedge the city buffs?METROPOLETON TOUR/FEST29:58 - Do you guys believe we will get all city tracks next tour including Paris promenade 2/3, Amsterdam drift 1, Berlin byways 2, and London loop 2/3? 32:36 - Also in the following tour (part two of Metropoleton fest) will we also get 4 city tracks again such as Vancouver velocity, la laps, New York minute, Sydney sprint?INVESTMENTS41:13 - How long will it take for Samurai Mario to break into the top ten if ever?METROPOLETON TOUR/FEST (CONT.)42:50 - Any big surprises you foresee of the 2nd tour of the Metropolitan Fest? Will it just be 4 more non-European cities, or will there be someplace new or something exciting?45:31 - How would getting back to back (potentially all) city tours, how will this impact the meta?What more if Hero and N2CJN question above does happen where we get 12 (6 + 6) city tracks over the next month?47:54 - Many people save during city tours, but with a two city tours back to back, that's a long time. Will you save over that period? 51:25 - Will we see the B Dasher Mk II's come back week 2 of MetroFest? Will we ever see them come back; would you even pull if it did?54:54 - What skill will Chef Rosa have?MII's58:26 - With these base points continuing to go up, at what point do you start to think about putting tickets on Silver Mii Suit, Bronze Mii Suit, Nabbit Mii Suit, King Boo Mii Suit, DK Mii Suit over a Gold Yoshi or new non-Mii coinbox driver?GRINDING1:11:24 - Hey all! I'm curious to find out where you prefer to grind the most.  For me, it's in my family room with the TV on and my cat on my lap. Nothing better!GOLD PIPE1:29:37 - Sammy's Gold Pipe Question (Question too long to add in Description!)FINAL THOUGHTS1:51:39 - Goodbye's & Thanks

How confident are you that your team will win?PEACH VS BOWSER TOUR / DOCTORFEST13:00 - Have you enjoyed this VS more than past VS tours or are VS tours automatic “filler tours”? Has the convenience of gathering tokens this tour for token pipe changed our opinion of tokens?22:48 - How has the Gold Mii Suit and the new ? Block Mii suit shaken things up? Do you have both? How crazy has Ranked been?35:07 - Is there anything introduced during Doctorfest that impacts the game enough we'll look back and say, “wow, it was hard to notice at the time but that was a big deal” or is it mostly forgettable?

All after a long break. 1:25:28 - Which of these tracks do you want to see or are there other GCN tracks you want see? (

Războiul a coborât și în subteranele internetului. Mii de computere din România sunt folosite intens de câteva zile în atacuri cibernetice asupra unor site-uri guvernamentale și baze de date. Obișnuite să amestece cuvinte goale ca să salveze aparențe, autoritățile statului nu reușesc să clarifice nici care e, în prezent, „armata cibernetică” a României, nici cât de capabili i-ar fi „cyber-soldații” să pareze un atac serios al unei rețele statale de hackeri îndelung pregătite. Cât de temuți sunt hackerii ruși și cât de departe se poate merge în războiul cibernetic explică, în acest episod, Bogdan Botezatu - director de cercetare în amenințări informatice la Bitdefender, una dintre cele mai puternice companii de securitate cibernetică din lume, creată în România.
