Settlers put up posters calling for the assassination of President Abbas reading 'kill the financier of terror' [Al Jazeera] Hardline Jewish settlers have hung posters of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank calling for his assassination. The posters were stuck on concrete blocks by the Huwwara intersection near the city of Nablus. According to local news agency Maan, the Israeli army, deployed in the area, did not remove these posters. The notice, which featured Abbas caught in the crosshairs, labelled him a "supporter of terrorists". In a statement, the Palestinian Authority said the threats to kill Abbas "crossed all red lines". In their weekly meeting in Ramallah, the PA's Council of Ministers strongly condemned the settlers' overt calls to attack Abbas and said they are taking the threats very seriously. Headed by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, the council called on the international community to also voice its condemnation, and said it holds the Israeli government fully responsible for the consequences of what it termed a "provocative incitement" to assassinate the president. The council also condemned the Israeli raids of Palestinian cities, towns and villages on Monday in Area A - which as sti[CENSORED]ted by the Oslo Accords is under Palestinian civil and security control. Israeli military vehicles and soldiers carried out incursions in Ramallah, the de facto capital city of the PA, and stormed the headquarters of its official news agency Wafa and prevented staff from leaving the building. Palestinians stage a protest against the Israeli raid on Palestinian news agency Wafa in Ramallah [Anadolu Agency] The raids were carried out to allegedly search for the suspect who shot and wounded seven Jewish settlers on Sunday night from a moving vehicle near the illegal Ofra settlement, east of Ramallah. Dozens of Palestinians protesting the Israeli forces were injured by tear gas canisters, rubber-coated bullets and live ammunition. Saeb Erekat, the secretary of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), called the threats against Abbas as "a declaration of the public assassination of the peace path pursued by the president and the Palestinian leadership". "It is a call for dragging the region to clashes and violence, for which the occupation government and [US President Donald] Trump administration … will be responsible for," Erekat said in a statement. US-sponsored peace talks between the PA and Israel collapsed in 2014 over the latter's refusal to halt settlement building in the occupied West Bank.

Roksanda, Erdem and more on the penultimate day The penultimate day of London Fashion Week is a big one because, before the style-set bid adieu for one more season, the busiest, and arguably most anticipated, day awaits them. Today, big-gun editors flocked to see Riccardo Tisci’s hotly anticipated collection for Burberry, while other members of the establishment – including Roksanda, Erdem, Christopher Kane and Emilia Wickstead – also drew in the crowds. Elsewhere, a handful of emerging talents and underground brands such as TOGA, Rejina Pyo and Edeline Lee offered a mix of considered collections and presentations which catered for a whole new generation of fashion fans. Here, we take a look at all the best bits from day four of London Fashion Week. Roksanda’s tangerine dream A designer that’s curated an instantly recognisable design aesthetic in the decade since she launched her eponymous label, Roksanda Ilincic has become synonymous with stand-out colour blocking and sculptural shapes, and this season was no different. The Serbian designer’s background in architecture and applied arts is often cited as forming the foundation of her designs. And so, it made sense that she chose to showcase this season’s collection within the Serpentine Pavilion – a building which this year has been designed by Mexican architect Frida Escobedo, and features walls made of concrete roofing tiles, a curved, mirrored ceiling and a shallow, triangular pool of water. Sophisticated and playful, yet entirely effortless, the collection was brimming with impactful silhouettes, vivid colours and surprising textures for a contemporary take on femininity. Here, a rainbow of colours, from tangerine and coral to blue, white, red and pink, swathed satin floor-sweeping dresses, voluminous shapes and loose trenches. Elsewhere, there was far more emphasis on daytime dressing with lightweight knits in offbeat colour combinations, line drawings, striped blazers and super-wide culottes. This was a lesson in how to execute a modern and more feminine version of power dressing. Erdem explores the boundaries of gender norms Easily one of the most anticipated shows of the season, half-British, half-Turkish designer Erdem Moralioglu chose to reveal his collection in the National Portrait Gallery; a location which only served to add to the grandeur of it all. For spring/summer 2019, he cited the freedom of self-expression as his starting point, making particular reference to Frederick Park and Ernest Boulton, two men who were arrested in 1870 while dressed as their female alter egos, Fanny and Stella. Models present creations by Erdem during a catwalk show (AFP/Getty) Just two figures in a diverse crowd of men and women at the time exploring beyond the prescribed boundaries of sex, it was the idea of dressing up or down to explore one’s individual identity that inspired this dimly lit show. In this instance, the opulence and glamour of Erdem’s aesthetic resurfaced through sumptuous flocked fabrics, long trains that dragged down the corridors and layers upon layers of lace. Elsewhere, the designer’s signature floral prints clashed with vibrant shades of yellow, pink and blue while a handful of gender-bending models emerged wearing blacked-our veiled headwear, corsetry and sharp, tailored suiting with exaggerated shoulders. Never one to disappoint, it was, once again, Erdem’s poignant message combined with his penchant for moments of melancholy that made this a standout show. Mother of Pearl’s painterly presentation A brand that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Mother of Pearl has a fun, playful spirit about it, much of which is thanks to its creative director Amy Powney. A designer who often draws references from her childhood in the North of England and is inspired by the strength of the women that surround her, Powney aims to celebrate femininity and individuality with effortless fashion. The brand’s latest offering looks to the Early Netherlandish painters for inspiration, specifically the work of Jan van Eyck. In this instance, rich and regal tones like emerald green and burnt orange set a decadent mood while light-hearted prints – think golden gilded lions and vibrant blooms – crystallise the brands aesthetic. In contrast, Powney sought inspiration from the bold and forward-thinking haute couture of the 1920s when it came to silhouettes. Here, puffball sleeves, cocoon cuts, cascades of ruching and heeled mules decorated with larger-than-life bows were incorporated as a way of encouraging women to dress for themselves and their love of fashion. A lesson in tomboyish femininity from TOGA One of Japan’s most preeminent brands, TOGA is the brainchild of former costume designer and stylist, Yasuko Furuta. A woman with an avant-garde vision, her collections have become synonymous with statement prints and a tomboyish femininity that combines elements of contemporary Western style and Japanese design. This season, the experimental world of TOGA began with a cryptically titled show called “Sport, Air, Scrunched”, which, as it turns out, was a treasure trove of striking pieces in modern shapes and multi-layered silhouettes. What commenced with an athleisure feel – think cycling shorts, netted trainer-boot hybrids and billowing fabrics worn with skydiving goggles – quickly took an ornate turn. With a series of looks born to be worn after dark, the sporty element was replaced with satin gowns, cinched-in waists, puffball shoulders and the most incredibly intricate frills decorating everything from sharply tailored blazers to languid trenches. Furuta also managed to balance colour in a way we never knew we needed. Crisp white shirts came splattered with vibrant prints, while dabs of almost fluorescent purple flashed through cut-out garments and diaphanous cream dresses were juxtaposed with luminous green booties. It was cool, elegant and multifaceted. For us though, the standout pieces were those that offered tomboyish femininity, specifically the blazer-meets-bomber jackets that came trimmed with tightly-packed ruffle trims.

2019 Porsche Macan S More details are emerging on the refreshed 2019 Porsche Macan, an SUV for which updates were first announced in the summer. Porsche shared details Monday on the Macan S, a variant that slots between the base Macan and all but certainly a few high-performance editions to follow. Not that the Macan S is low-performance, with a new turbocharged V-6 that increases power for 2019. Related: Macan You Hear Me Now? 8 Reasons to Want Porsche's Updated 2019 SUV Output is now 348 horsepower and 354 pounds-feet of torque, up 8 hp and 15 pounds-feet versus the outgoing turbo V-6 (340 hp, 339 pounds-feet). Displacement remains the same 3.0 liters, but Porsche fitted a new single, centrally mounted twin-scroll turbocharger rather than the prior twin-turbo setup — underlining why effectiveness, not sheer quantity, matters most for turbochargers. Porsche says the SUV hits 60 mph in as little as 4.9 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package, a tenth of a second quicker than the previous Macan S. It's considerably quicker than the base Macan, but the latter is no slouch, with a turbo four-cylinder (248 hp, 273 pounds-feet) that scoots you to 60 mph in the low-6-second range. Other changes for the Macan S include more aluminum instead of steel in the front suspension to reduce unsprung mass. Porsche also claims larger front disc brakes and improved brake-pedal feel, as well as retuned stabilizer bars. Carbon-ceramic brakes, air springs and adaptive shock absorbers remain optional. The smaller of two Porsche SUVs, the Macan is the brand's best-selling model in America. It enters the current generation's fifth model year for 2019 with freshened styling that includes an LED light strip to bridge the taillights, similar to what you see on most other Porsche models. Low-speed semi-autonomous driving is now capable thanks to Traffic Jam Assist, while the cabin gets a higher-tech dashboard touchscreen that's 10.9 inches versus the prior 7 inches. An optional GT Sport steering wheel borrowed from the 911 includes an integrated drive-mode switch. The 2019 Macan S starts at $59,650, including a $1,050 destination charge. That's $8,700 more than the base Macan ($50,950). Both variants increase a bit over their 2018 model-year equivalents, $2,100 for the 2019 Macan and $3,200 for the 2019 Macan S. Orders for the Macan S are open now, with deliveries beginning in summer 2019. Expect higher-performance editions to show up in the coming months. The 2018 Macan included a GTS and two Turbo editions, with performance topping out at 440 hp and zero-to-60 times in the low-4-second range. We'd expect to see the return of both variants given how Porsche is rarely one to dial it back. Stay tuned for more. Cars.com's Editorial department is your source for automotive news and reviews.

Regulile jocului: Căutarea de comori este un joc ce poate fi jucat în 2-4 jucători. Pentru a putea juca acest joc este nevoie de o planșă specială (pe care o puteți descărca aici), două zaruri și câte un pion pentru fiecare jucător. La început fiecare jucător iși va alege un pion. Scopul jocului este de a ajunge cu pionul la comoară. Fiecare jucător aruncă pe rând cu zarurile o singură dată și dublează rezultatul. De exemplu, zarurile arată 5 și 2. Le adunăm și dublăm rezultatul, adică 5+2=7, 7+7=14. Începe jocul cel care a dat cel mai mare zar. În timpul jocului, când nimeriți cu zarurile 6 puncte, aveți dreptul la încă o aruncare. Cine ajunge pe un număr impar face doi pași înapoi, iar cine ajunge pe un număr par, face doi pași în față. Când ați ajuns pe un pătrat ocupat de alt jucător pionul acestuia va fi scos și readus la START. Cine reușește să ajungă primul la comoară este socotit câștigător. Spor la distracție!

DETROIT -- The Ford Ranger will return to U.S. dealerships next month as the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered pickup on the market. The two-wheel-drive 2019 Ranger will get 21 mpg city/26 highway/23 combined, according to EPA estimates. The combined figure ties the Chevrolet Colorado diesel engine's 23 mpg, but bests all other midsize pickups with gasoline engines. The Ranger's city mpg figure also is highest among gasoline-powered midsize pickups. A fuel-economy edge, no matter how small, may provide Ford a marketing tack in what promises to be a highly competitive battleground. Ford routinely dominated the midsize truck market until the Ranger was dropped in 2011. The segment, now led by the Toyota Tacoma and Colorado, has expanded 16 percent this year and will gain more entries from Jeep and Ram over the next several years. The 2019 4x2 Tacoma gets 21 mpg combined, according to the EPA, while the 2019 4x2 Colorado and GMC Canyon with a gasoline engine deliver 22 mpg combined. City fuel-economy numbers for the three tops out at 20 mpg. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator, a midsize pickup scheduled to reach showrooms in the second half of 2019, has not yet been rated. The four-wheel-drive Ranger gets EPA estimated ratings of 20 mpg city/24 highway/22 combined. The city and combined figures also are the best of any gasoline-powered midsize pickup, Ford says. The automaker started building Rangers at its Michigan Assembly Plant in October after a seven-year absence from the U.S. Ford says the vehicle will go on sale nationwide in January. --- Ford is positioning the Ranger as a lifestyle vehicle for customers who want to take it off-road to the beach or campsite and will offer roughly 150 aftermarket parts and accessories through Yakima. The Ranger will start at $25,395, including shipping, and top out at more than $40,000. The vehicle's turbocharged, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine will be able to tow and haul more than the V-6 gasoline offerings from GM and Toyota, Ford says.

Egyptian authorities have introduced restrictions on the sale of hi-vis vests in fear the clothing could inspire imitations of French protesters. Officials, speaking anonymously, said stores selling safety equipment have been barred from selling the reflective clothing to walk-in buyers, and are only permitted to sell to verified companies with police permission. In Cairo, Associated Press reported that six retailers selling safety gear said they had stopped selling the vests. Sponsored link Recommended by Four of the stores said they had been instructed to stop selling the items by police, while two declined to comment on the reasons for the absence of the clothing. "The police came here a few days back and told us to stop selling them. When we asked why, they said they were acting on instructions," one seller said. "They seem not to want anyone to do what they are doing in France," another speculated. ----- The gilet jaunes protests, called after the his-vis jackets worn by demonstrators, have swept across France over the last month, turning Paris streets into scenes of chaos, with people constructing barricades, hurling rocks and setting vehicles on fire. Police have used tear gas, stun grenades and water canons in a violent response to the urban riots. The protests were sparked by anger over a rise in fuel tax and broader unhappiness over what is perceived as an economic and political system that benefits the elite. Many on the streets are calling for the president, Emmanuel Macron, to resign. In Egypt, fears of imitation protests are tied to the anniversary of the 2011 po[CENSORED]r uprising, in which Hosni Mubarak, the former dictator of the country, was toppled. Egyptian authorities have cracked down on dissent in the years since, virtually banning protests and ramping up security measures in the streets around the 25 January anniversary. And in much of the coverage of the French protests, Egyptian media has echoed the line of current president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, that street protests equal chaos and a tough hand is necessary to ensure security. Cairo-based human rights lawyer Negad Borai said the government could delay price hikes, expected next year, "to avoid protests inspired by what's happening in France."

"The reason brand name drones are so expensive isn't because of their technology. It's because of their brand name." -Engineer for DroneX Pro Over the last 12 months we've tested most of the drone models on the market.

We ordered one to test right away. Our impression? We're thrilled. Why is this extremely high quality drone so cheap? The DroneX Pro was designed by two engineers and drone lovers. The drones they already had were hard to maneuver and took low quality photos and videos. They decided to spend a few weeks looking for better alternatives. After a lot of research and phone calls, they came to a shocking conclusion. The high-quality technology in most expensive brand drones comes mostly from the SELBEN supplier companies and was quite inexpensive to their astonishment. In other words? They found that expensive brand drones are not expensive because of their technology. It's because of their brand name. Armed with this new knowledge, they decided to create a drone of their own. This drone would be much better than the expensive-brand drones and be sold at a fraction of the price. They created the DroneX Pro. What makes the DroneX Pro so special? This drone makes beginners look like professionals. It comes with a professional controller and makes flying easy even for beginners.

Even with wind, the videos are razor-sharp in real-time transmission from your environment - like a HD live stream. Photos from amazing heights Image quality is especially crucial for a pleasant drone experience. The wide-angle lens provides 100Mbps ultra-HD images for wonderful and crystal clear images. Take photos and videos from breathtaking heights! Collapse and take it with you When folded up, the drone is barely larger than a fist. It fits in every belt bag and in every backpack! You do not need a film crew when flying the DroneX Pro. Simply tell the drone what to pursue and it will take care of the rest. Impress friends, work colleagues, and family with exciting shots of your life. Why is this drone so po[CENSORED]r? This drone costs only a fraction of the price of professional brand drones. It comes in a sleek and compact design and can be taken anywhere. It is also quiet in the air and has an improved flight time. This drone makes beginners look like professionals. Flying feels very natural. Even a first time drone flyer can learn to use it in a matter of minutes. It is unbelievable how easy to fly the drone is thanks to its included controller. Our Conclusion - Buy it while it's so cheap The low cost and high quality of DroneX Pro is very appealing. The product has been selling in high volumes. With the holiday season right around the corner, demand is increasing at a fast rate. Supplies are limited. We recommend ordering DroneX Pro while it is still available.
