A vegetable-packed vegan lasagne made with dairy-free white sauce. It freezes brilliantly and makes the perfect vegan comfort food. Each serving provides 470 kcal, 16g protein, 61g carbohydrate (of which 15g sugars), 16g fat (of which 2g saturates), 8g fibre and 0.4g salt. Ingredients 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 small aubergine, cut into roughly 1.5cm/⅝in dice 1 medium courgette, cut into roughly 1.5cm/⅝in dice 1 red pepper, seeds removed, cut into roughly 1.5cm/⅝in dice 250g/9oz small chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 100g/3½oz dried red split lentils 2 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes 2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano 1 tsp sugar, any kind 1 vegan vegetable stock cube 150g/5½oz fresh young spinach leaves 9–10 dried lasagne sheets (ensure they are egg-free) salt and ground black pepper For the white sauce 3 tbsp sunflower oil 100g/3½oz plain flour 800ml/1¼ pint unsweetened almond milk 3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes 1 bay leaf (optional) ¼ tsp ground nutmeg salt and freshly ground black pepper Method Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick saucepan and fry the onion for 3–4 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned, stirring. Add the aubergine, courgette, pepper and mushrooms and fry for 12 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the garlic and cook for a few seconds more, then stir in the red lentils, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar and crumbled stock cube. Refill one of the tomato tins with water (400ml/14fl oz) and pour into the pan. Stir well, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the spinach leaves, a handful at a time and cook for 1–2 minutes more. While the vegetables are simmering, make the white sauce. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. When it is hot add the flour and cook, stirring all the time, for 1 minute. Stir in the milk, yeast, bay leaf and nutmeg and season well with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly with a metal whisk over a moderate heat for 4–5 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. (Use a silicone covered whisk if using a non-stick saucepan.) Adjust the seasoning to taste – you’ll need more black pepper than you might imagine. Spread a third of the vegetable mixture over the base of a 2½ –3 litre/4½– 5 pints ovenproof lasagne dish and cover with a single layer of lasagne sheets. Top with another third of the vegetable mixture (don’t worry if it doesn’t cover evenly) and a second layer of lasagne. Pour over just under half of the white sauce, after removing the bay leaf, and very gently top with the remaining vegetable mixture. Finish with a final layer of lasagne and the rest of the white sauce. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or the pasta has softened and the topping is nicely browned and bubbling. Stand for 5 minutes before cutting to allow the filling to settle.

Boyko Borisov in Madrid: Bulgaria is the second in the EU in reducing carbon dioxide emissions At the COP25 Climate Conference in Madrid, the new EU leadership called for the adoption of the so-called "green deal" not only at European Union level but also worldwide. Europe's "green deal" implies radical reforms in the economy, energy and transport, which must become as green and carbon-neutral as possible. This will cost the European Union an estimated 3 trillion euros. Brussels promises to cover only one-third of these costs and the rest, as planned, will be provided by the European Investment Bank and the EU countries themselves. CO2 levels have reached the highest in human history "We are proposing a new green deal, because it is about ending the war on nature, it is about reconciliation," said European Council President Charles Michel. According to him, for centuries the world has been in a state of "war against nature, overexploitation of natural resources that has caused the planet to respond because of it." "We need to change things. It is time for a green revolution, we want to make Europe the first green continent," he added. Charles Michel called for a sharp increase in investment in new technologies through the European Investment Bank. In addition, since 2021, the Bank has stopped fossil fuel projects. Climate change projects are expected to receive a trillion euros by 2030. The President of the European Council also said that by 2050 Europe will become the first continent to achieve climate neutrality. Scientists declare "climate emergency" European Commission chief Ursula von der Layen, for his part, said he believed the EU could propose extending the green deal to a global level. "This month we will propose the first European law to achieve climate neutrality so that it becomes irreversible. We Europeans are ready. And if we move together, we will proceed faster. We need to be more ambitious in the negotiations on "We will move from a European environmental deal to a global level," she said, urging countries around the world to increase investment in innovation and green technologies. Scientists: The end of humanity comes after 2050 The climate is the trigger for war, Syria and migration French Prime Minister Edouard Philip said the international community was "late" in resolving climate problems, and what it was doing was "insufficient". However, he expressed the optimistic view that "this fight can be won", calling for accurate goals to be set. Philip recalled plans by the French authorities to shut down all coal-fired power plants by 2022 and to get rid of cars that pollute the environment by 2040. Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa says 54% of the country's electricity comes from renewable energy. At the same time, he said, the transition to clean energy sources "does not lead to an increase in value and may even reduce it". "Renewable energy may be cheaper. Portugal's goal is to clean 80% of its energy by 2030," Costa said. The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is being held in Madrid from 2 to 13 December, chaired by Chile. Representatives of almost 200 countries are participating in the event, and about 30,000 people are accredited for the event, including Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. On the first day of the meeting, about 50 Heads of State or Government, as well as EU leadership, arrived in the Spanish capital. "For countries with a high share of coal in their energy mix, such as Bulgaria, Poland and others, the transition to climate neutrality will require higher levels of investment and active measures in the social sphere." This was stated by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov in his speech at the 25th Madrid Climate Change Conference, the Council's press service announced. Prime Minister Borisov pointed out that in Bulgaria 46% of electricity is produced from coal plants, which are the main base capacity, in winter this percentage reaches 60. "At the same time, I would like to point out that according to Eurostat statistics, Bulgaria ranks second in the EU in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion in 2018, compared to 2017, by 8, 1%, following Portugal, which holds the leading position with 9%, "Prime Minister Borisov told leaders at the World Forum in Madrid. The Bulgarian Prime Minister emphasized that for our country nuclear energy plays an important role in guaranteeing national, regional and European energy security, while providing affordable energy and a key element for the transition to a low carbon economy. "Its importance as a key pillar of a carbon-free European electricity system has also been reaffirmed in the EC's long-term vision for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, published in 2018," stressed Prime Minister Borisov. He was adamant that our country would continue to rely on nuclear energy in the coming years. "EU emissions are only 9% of the world. The first and second pollutants - the largest in the world, are not here. These are the US and China," Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said at the conference. He noted that the EU is reducing its emissions and added that the health and quality of life of every citizen in the world should be put first in this regard. "Because chimneys, whether they smoke in the US, China or Vietnam, the atmosphere brings it to us too. Let us unite and bring these indisputably progressive countries together to take on the monster that comes with climate change," he said. Conclusion Prime Minister Borisov.

The key difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that aldehyde contains –CHO functional group whereas alcohol contains –OH functional group. Aldehydes and alcohols are organic compounds. They have different functional groups, as well as different chemical and physical properties. An aldehyde has a carbonyl carbon atom (a carbon atom attached to an oxygen atom through a double bond), but there are no carbonyl centres in alcohols. Both aldehydes and alcohols are very important in organic synthesis reactions, as precursors for other compounds such as ketones. What is Aldehyde? Aldehydes are organic compounds containing the –CHO group as the functional group. Therefore, it has a carbonyl centre (-C=O). The general formula of an aldehyde is R-CHO, where the R group can be either aromatic or aliphatic. Hence, the R group determines the reactivity of this organic molecule. Moreover, aromatic aldehydes are less reactive than aliphatic aldehydes. Aromatic have their –CHO group attached to an aromatic group. However, use this name when there is an aromatic group somewhere in the aldehyde. In addition to these, aromatic groups have a delocalized pi-electron cloud because of the conjugated pi bond system (alternating pattern of single bonds and double bonds). Aliphatic aldehydes have no aromatic rings attached to the –CHO group. Furthermore, these molecules do not have any aromatic ring attached to the compound. Since there are no aromatic rings, these molecules have no resonance stabilization as well. Hence, these molecules have highly electrophilic –CHO groups, making the reactivity of the molecules very high. What is Alcohol? Alcohols are organic compounds containing one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH). These molecules are composed of C, H and O atoms. These atoms are arranged in alkyl groups and hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl group is attached to one carbon atom of the alkyl group. We can synthesize alcohols through different methods: E.g. Ziegler and oxo processes, hydration reactions, biological routes such as fermentation, etc. An alcohol can act as either the starting molecule or the intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds. Moreover, some beverages contain alcohols as a major or minor component. Sometimes alcohols can be used as solvents for purification of compounds out of impure mixtures. There are three types of alcohol structures as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Primary alcohols are composed of a hydroxyl group that is attached to a carbon atom of the alkyl group which is attached to only one alkyl group. Secondary alcohols, on the other hand, are composed of a carbon atom that is attached to a hydroxyl group and two other alkyl groups. Moreover, tertiary alcohols are composed of a carbon atom that is bonded to a hydroxyl group and with three alkyl groups. What is the Difference Between Aldehyde and Alcohol? Aldehydes and alcohols are organic compounds. They have different functional groups, resulting in different chemical and physical properties. The key difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that aldehyde contains –CHO functional group whereas alcohol contains –OH functional group. Also, another difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that there is a carbonyl carbon in an aldehyde, but there are no carbonyl centres in alcohol. Moreover, we can produce an aldehyde via oxidative routes and such as alcohol oxidation, while we can produce alcohol in three major ways: Ziegler and oxo processes, hydration reactions, and biological routes such as fermentation.

The 2019 Lebanese Protests is a series of country-wide, non-sectarian protests. In the short term, the protests are motivated by the Lebanese government's failure to find solutions to an economic crisis that has been looming for the past year because of corruption, wasting public money and stealing governmental entities. In the long term, they constitute a reaction against sectarian rule, stagnant economy, unemployment, endemic corruption in the public sector, legislation (such as banking secrecy) that is perceived to shield the ruling class from accountability and failures from the government to provide basic services such as electricity, water and sanitation. The immediate trigger to the protests were due to the planned taxes on gasoline, tobacco and online phone calls such as through WhatsApp, as country-wide protests broke out right after Cabinet talks of the taxes, due to be ratified by 22 October. On 29 October, Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced the resignation of his government in response to the protests. Protests have since continued and are calling for the binding parliamentary consultations to form a new government of competent and independent specialists and for the resignation of the entire political class, including Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and President Michel Aoun. The 'continuation' of the protests for weeks were possible because the protesters were inspired by fresh spirit of collective national unity against all the traditional sectarian mindset. Together as a single nation, the Lebanese people protested for their common aspirations of dignity, financial security, government’s accountability, and guarding Lebanon’s sovereignty. Beginning : 17 October: Approximately one hundred civil activists were protesting against the new proposed taxes in and around downtown Beirut, blocking important streets. As the Minister of Higher Education Akram Chehayeb and his convoy passed by the area, protesters assembled on his car. One of his bodyguards shot stray bullets into the air, which further enraged the protesters; no injuries were reported. Walid Joumblatt, the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party, stated that he had spoken to minister Chehayeb who represents the party in the Lebanese government and requested the bodyguards be handed over to the police, as all people are "under the law". A large number of protesters began appearing in Martyrs Square, Nejmeh Square, and Hamra Street, as well as many other regions around Lebanon. As the protests grew bigger, Prime Minister Saad Hariri called a snap cabinet meeting at the request of President Michel Aoun for midday on 18 October. An announcement was also made by Minister of Higher Education Akram Chehayeb that all schools and universities, public or private, would remain closed the next day. The Minister of Telecommunications Mohamad Choucair announced that "WhatsApp tax" idea had been scrapped at around 11:00PM. Protesters saw the "WhatsApp tax" as the last straw, Ninth week : 10 December: Following days of heavy rainfall, a house collapsed in Tripoli, killing two adult siblings. Protesters, claiming that the house collapsed due to consistent municipal negligence, stormed the Tripoli municipal police office and demonstrated outside the house of the mayor. They smashed windows, set a room on fire, and damaged a car. The army intervened to stop the violence. In Jounieh, four protesters were detained after attempting to block roads. They were released the same evening after another protest blocked the Jounieh highway. In Beirut, protesters organized demonstrations outside the houses of current and former politicians. While attempting to reach the home of former public works and transportation minister Ghazi Aridi, they were blocked at Rue Verdun by men dressed in uniforms of the Internal Security Forces. Cars were vandalized as the men dragged protesters out to beat them; a dozen people including reporter Paula Naufal were hospitalized for their injuries. 11 December: Protestors in Tripoli resumed blocking roads. 14 December: Riot police used tear gas against groups of men that attacked protestors' camps in Beirut.In the evening, protesters in central Beirut attempted to reach Nejmeh Square, chanting slogans against Saad Hariri, who was expected to be named Prime Minister by Monday, and Gebran Bassil. The protesters were met with violence, tear gas and rubber bullets by the Lebanese internal security forces. At least 46 people were hospitalized with injuries according to the Lebanese Red Cross and Lebanese Civil Defense.

Prefect Acitivity

NEW ORLEANS — Advisers who don’t direct their clients to benefits that can significantly improve employees’ quality of life are missing the mark. That was the key takeaway during a panel discussion at Workplace Benefits Renaissance, a conference hosted by Employee Benefit Adviser, on Tuesday. Lifestyle benefits are becoming just as standard as medical, dental and vision benefits, said experts, noting the rising interest in so-called voluntary benefits, particularly among younger workers. “People are becoming more vocal during the onboarding process and coming in saying ‘tell me more about your benefits,’” said Merideth Harrington, a panelist and chief revenue officer of Zeamo, a health and fitness benefit provider. “They’re asking this question because the expectation is the benefits are going to be more robust than medical and dental.” Around 60% of employees say benefit offerings are a significant factor in their decision on whether or not to take a new job, according to a Glassdoor survey. The panelists said benefits will become more innovative as younger generations, like millennials and Gen Z, continue to dominate the workplace. “Baby boomers are used to sticking with a job for 10 to 20 years, millennials are not — that shows they’re willing to take risks and chances,” said Anthony Lombardi, a panelist and senior managing consultant at Healthcare, Wellness & Benefits. The panelists agreed employees’ increasing desire for more comprehensive benefit packages can be largely attributed to socioeconomic factors, like high childcare prices and the student debt crisis — to name a few. Competitive employers offer perks addressing these needs to help their workforce achieve greater work-life balance, which leads to higher productivity rates and employee loyalty. “If they’re struggling outside of work, it’s going to affect them at work. Employers are smartening up to get ahead,” Harrington said. Shadiah Sigala, co-founder and CEO of Kinside — a childcare benefit provider — noted that the U.S. is one of the few developed countries that doesn’t provide universal parental leave. As a result, working parents have to make arrangements for their young children to be supervised by relatives or childcare professionals. Sigala said brokers can be part of the solution by directing employer clients who have employees with families to childcare benefits. “Our society has become a place where parents are spending 20 to 30% of their income so their child can be raised by someone else,” Sigala said. “Employers aren’t doing enough now, but they’re in a position to support Americans in a holistic way in the future.” Anita Ward, chief development officer at Salary Finance, a financial wellness platform, pointed out that income is a major factor that determines employee lifestyle. If raises aren’t possible, employers can provide tools to help their workforce make the most out of their current earnings, she said. Salary Finance, for example, allows employees to get an advance on their paycheck so they don’t have to rely on short-term loans to make on-time payments. “Financial troubles create anxiety in people; they’re more prone to sleepless nights and fights with coworkers — that’s certainly not a good work environment,” Ward said. “Employers are in the best position to teach financial literacy to create a more dignified workplace.” During the post-panel discussion, an audience member pointed out that the most competitive employers have lifestyle benefits; brokers who don’t deliver them are in danger of being replaced. She emphasized that brokers need to focus on creating a custom experience for each client. “Our job as consultants is to cultivate a program that complements our clients’ culture,” said Katie Ott, director of worksite benefits and employee practice at M3 Insurance. “If you introduce new programs gradually, you can make a meaningful impact.”

Recent observations of galaxy clusters reveal a discrepancy with the dark matter hypothesis, leading to a resurgence of debate about the actual existence of this elusive ingredient in the universe. DARK MATTER IN CRISIS Most of us astronomers tend to speak of dark matter as if it were an ingredient of the universe of unknown nature, formed by some type of exotic particles yet to be discovered, but whose existence is beyond doubt. Indeed, dark matter halos explain very well the rapid motions of stars in peripheral regions of galaxies and also the relative motions of galaxies in large clusters. However, opinions about dark matter are not completely unanimous and there are scientists who seriously question its existence. Among other things, the properties that are assigned to the hypothetical matter are not able to explain some observations, such as, for example, the spatial distribution of the small satellite galaxies of the Milky Way or Andromeda. To name just one, the Czech astronomer Pavel Kroupa has spent more than a decade at the Max-Planck Institute (Bonn) criticizing what he considers to be a widely accepted dogma without the precise scientific rigor and even maintains a website dedicated to it. which he calls the dark matter crisis. LOST GALAXIES Another problem that dark matter encountered a decade ago concerned the number of satellite galaxies that a galaxy like the Milky Way should have. This is what was called "the problem of lost satellite galaxies". Computer simulations to reproduce the evolution of these types of galaxies surrounded by large halos of dark matter, indicated that there should be many more satellite galaxies than were observed. A reasonable agreement between theory and observations has recently been reached thanks to two factors. For one thing, observations with more powerful telescopes have revealed smaller and smaller galaxies. On the other hand, the models have been made more precise by including all the possible effects of ordinary matter that could suppress satellite galaxies: supernova explosions, jets ejected by black holes, etc. RECTIFYING NEWTON Among the alternatives that are handled to the dark matter hypothesis, perhaps the one with the most adherents, is the so-called "modified Newtonian dynamics", or simply MOND (for its acronym in English). According to this hypothesis, the motions of stars in galaxies and those of galaxies in clusters could well be explained by a modification of Newton's second law. However, before modifying such sacrosanct laws, the evidence should be overwhelming, something that at the moment is not. And that is why the MOND hypothesis has a very minor following among physicists and astrophysicists. THE SUBHALOS: A NEW CRISIS Now that the problem of lost satellite galaxies seemed to have found a remedy, a team of astronomers coordinated by Massimo Meneghetti (working at the Bologna Observatory, Italy, and at Caltech, USA) has uncovered another discrepancy between the dark matter models. and observations. This time the problem concerns large clusters of galaxies. Models predict that the distribution of dark matter in these superstructures cannot be very homogeneous. The halos that surround the galaxies and the dark material in the clusters must form irregular clouds, which have been called subhalos. The simulations come to predict the approximate number of subhalos that must exist in a given cluster. In order to count the actual number of dark subhalos (which, of course, are not visible), Meneghetti and his team have examined very precise images of various clusters that were taken by the Hubble space telescope and by ESO's large VLT telescopes. in the Chilean Atacama Desert. To count the subhalos, the astronomers looked at the amplification and distortion effects of light due to gravitational lensing. Indeed, the dark matter in each subhalo creates small arcs or multiple images, thus giving away its presence. The result of these observations is that the number of observed subhales is ten times higher than that predicted by the cosmological simulations. In a way, the problem is now the opposite of lost satellites. At that time, satellite galaxies were missing from the observations, whereas now subhalos are 'left over'. At the moment there is no explanation for this discrepancy posed by a new jug of cold water on dark matter. More and more precise observations will have to be made, but critics of the hypothesis are already sharpening their arguments. And MOND supporters raise their voices for cosmological simulations to be done by embedding MOND in models. The debate on dark matter thus takes on new momentum.

DH1 nice song

Shares in Austal (ASX:ASB) have eased back from multi-year highs. We have a look at whether there is further upside and when is the best time to buy it. About Austal The main aspect of Austal’s business is the design and manufacture of defence and commercial vessels. These include the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) for the US Navy and military high-speed vessels for transport and humanitarian relief, such as the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) vessel. The LCS is a 127-metre, Frigate sized vessel built at the Company’s facility in Mobile, Alabama. ASB’s LCS program is in a full rate of production with several ships under construction simultaneously. At present, US shipbuilding activities account for over 85% of both US revenue and EBIT. Why the Fundamentals Have Improved Investor confidence in ASB has improved significantly as the Company has consistently maintained the US shipbuilding EBIT margin at the upper end of the 6-8% range. This is since the challenges experienced with the LCS program in 2015. Company guidance indicates that the EBIT margin is likely to be stable or stronger in 2H19. However, there is potential for significant margin expansion over the long term from new contract wins and an increasing portion of maintenance work. We also consider that the Company’s medium-term earnings are becoming less exposed to macroeconomic headwinds. This is given the long-term nature of defence and support & maintenance contracts secured by ASB. These contracts underpin ASB’s attraction as a defensive play when broader market conditions are challenging. New Contracts Austal won a significant amount of contracted work in 1H19, led by its US shipbuilding operations. Since early September 2018, ASB has been awarded contracts to construct four littoral combat ships (LCS 32, 34, 36 & 38), and well as long-lead-time material contracts for the future construction of two EPF vessels. Across the business, the order book sits at about $5.2b, securing work out to 2025. This is up from $3.4b in December 2017. The important point is that the new contracts are not expected to translate into margin expansion over the short term. This is given that a significant portion of that revenue will be from early stage procurement and production for new vessel designs, or existing designs that are undergoing material modifications or upgrades (particularly the LCS and EPF programs), and profit has been recognised at a lower level for revenue generated during those phases of construction. Significantly, an improved competitive position has placed ASB in a stronger position to win further contract work over the medium term. Support & Maintenance Work is Higher Margin Over the last two years, Austal has established a significant LCS support capability in San Diego where the vessels are home based. This capability is in addition to the support resources based at the shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. ASB also has other service centres around the world. These factors have contributed to revenue from support and maintenance work increasing by ~50% in 1H19 to $90.1m. At present, there are currently +20 vessels undergoing maintenance work. Austal has been awarded additional LCS contracts (with this program likely to see a further ~20 contracts awarded to either ASB or Lockheed Martin under the current LCS program), the potential for the secure additional support and maintenance work improves the EBIT margin profile over the medium-to-long term – as earnings from support and maintenance work provides a greater portion of annuity-style revenues and the margin earned is higher than shipbuilding. Non-US Operations Have Benefited from a Scale-up of Capacity There has been a significant improvement in the financial performance of the Australasian operations. These include shipyards in WA, the Philippines and Vietnam. Throughput across Australasia increased in 1H19, as the Company worked on ~$660 of commercial ferry contracts. The Company delivered the first of 21 Guardian Class Patrol Boats (GCPB) in December 2018. Profitability is expected to improve as a result of increasing efficiencies being generated as the program matures at full rate production. ASB has invested to double the existing capacity at the Philippines shipyard and a recently-opened shipyard in Vietnam has scaled up well. The shipyard in Vietnam is considered a key driver for the Company’s medium-term margin expansion. This is because employee costs are less than 10% of Australia’s, which more than offsets lower productivity. There is also potential for the Philippines shipyard to contribute to group margin expansion, as overhead costs are expected to remain fairly stable. Strong Financial Position Maintained An improvement in the cashflow performance in 1H19 has placed the balance sheet in a net cash position of $54m. This supports future dividend payments, helps to fund the expansion of existing commercial shipbuilding facilities, and fund upcoming bids under the LCS program. Further, operating cashflow in coming years is being supported by a number of contract wins secured in FY18 and FY19 to date. Fundamental View of Austal With the shares currently trading on a 1-year forward P/E multiple of ~15x, which is above the mid-point of a fairly narrow trading range of 14.0x-15.5x over the last two years. We consider that any weakness from current levels would present a more attractive opportunity. Charting View Our charting comments on ASB in 2018 noted the breakout from the long-term sideways range, and we expected a rally beyond $2. The shares have been building up nicely since the start of the year, with volumes looking impressive on the way up. In the last few weeks though, we have seen it rally to a new high before being sold down again. On this weekly chart, we can see a reversal forming (circled). This means that we should see a bit more weakness in the short term. We would be looking at support closer to $2.20. If ASB can find support back there, then that would be a better entry point for investors.

Hip-hop star MF Doom has died at the age of 49, his family confirmed on social media. The musician, real name Daniel Dumile, was known for his rhyme style and his performances in which he always wore a mask. In a post on the rapper's Instagram account on Thursday, his wife Jasmine confirmed that he died on 31 October. A number of artists have paid tribute to MF Doom including Run The Jewels and Tyler, The Creator. In a note addressed to the rapper, his wife paid tribute to "the greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for". His representatives confirmed his death to Rolling Stone magazine. MF Doom was born in London but moved to New York as a child. As a teenager he performed in hip-hop group KMD. Following the loss of his younger brother, he disappeared from music. But in 1997, he remerged at open mic events wearing tights over his face. As time went on, he started to wear a mask during his performances based on Doctor Doom, a Marvel super villain. MF Doom released six solo albums and was also known for his collaborations with musicians such as Danger Mouse and Ghostface Killah. He made appearances on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 1 in which he discussed his own music and projects with other artists. Radio presenter Zane Lowe said: "Rest In Peace to the great MF Doom. A true artist who gifted us with eternal innovation and creativity." Tyler, The Creator wrote on Twitter: "Safe travels villain". While the Sleaford Mods said: "RIP MF DOOM. Sleep well mate."

Kartik Aaryan (born Kartik Tiwari on 22 November 1990) is an Indian actor who appears in Hindi films. Born and raised in Gwalior, he relocated to Navi Mumbai to pursue an engineering degree in biotechnology. He simultaneously dabbled in modelling and made attempts to start a career in film. After struggling for three years, Aaryan made his acting debut in 2011 with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, a buddy film about the romantic tribulations faced by three young men, which was directed by Luv Ranjan and co-starred Nushrat Bharucha. Aaryan went on to play the romantic interest of the lead female characters in Akaash Vani (2013) and Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014), but these films failed to propel his career forward. He subsequently collaborated with Ranjan and Bharucha in two more buddy films, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), both of which were commercially successful but received criticism for their misogynistic themes. The latter proved to be a breakthrough for Aaryan, and he followed it by starring in the romantic comedy Luka Chuppi (2019). In addition to his acting career, Aaryan endorses several brands and products, and has co-hosted two award ceremonies.Kartik Tiwari (later Aaryan) was born on 22 November 1990 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.Both his parents are doctors; his father is a paediatrician, and his mother, Mala, is a gynaecologist. He pursued an engineering degree in biotechnology from Navi Mumbai's D Y Patil College of Engineering, while secretly harbouring ambitions for a career in film.He has said that he would skip his classes and travel for two hours to attend auditions.Aaryan began a modelling career while in university and after three years of unsuccessfully auditioning for films, he did an acting course from the Kreating Charakters institute. He informed his parents of his desire to become an actor only after he signed his first film.Aaryan at an event for Kaanchi: The Unbreakable in 2014 While still in his third year of college, Aaryan made his acting debut with Luv Ranjan's buddy film Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), co-starring Divyendu Sharma, Raayo S Bakhirta, and Nushrat Bharucha, which revolves around the romantic tribulations faced by three young men.He found a casting call for the film on Facebook and secured the role after auditioning for six months.As he had limited financial means at that point, he lived in an apartment with 12 other aspiring actors and earned money by cooking for them.In Pyaar Ka Punchnama, his character's four-minute monologue was one of the lengthiest single shots done for a Hindi film to that point.Reviewing it for Rediff.com, Shaikh Ayaz found Aaryan's "bursting soliloquy on why women are the way they are and can never be understood riotously funny".Namrata Joshi of Outlook criticised the film for portraying each of the female characters as a "hard-hearted *****" but was appreciative of Aaryan's monologue and the chemistry between the three men.The film emerged as a sleeper hit and he received a nomination for the Producers Guild Film Award for Best Male Debut.After the release of Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Aaryan completed his engineering degree on the insistence of his mother.His next film release came two years later when he collaborated once again with Ranjan and Bharucha in the romance Akaash Vani (2013), which is about the titular lovers who are separated when Vani is married off to an abusive husband.Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu praised the film for exploring chauvinism in India, a rare concept for Hindi film, and praised the chemistry between the two stars, writing that "you can tell how much they are in love, even when they don't have any lines".Sudhir Chaudhary, the cinematographer in Aaryan's previous films, showed his work to Subhash Ghai, who was impressed by Aaryan and cast him in his directorial Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014).It is a drama about a woman's quest for justice when her husband is murdered by politicians, in which Aaryan played the love interest of the title character (played by Mishti). Despite a brief role, Aaryan agreed to the project to work with Ghai.Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV disliked the film but wrote that Aaryan "exudes strong screen presence and shows flashes of qualities needed to be a mainstream Bollywood lover boy".Both Akaash Vani and Kaanchi did not perform well commercially, leading Aaryan to question his career prospects

Let the 2020 election bury the mistaken notion once and for all that the 2016 election was a historical accident, an American aberration. Donald Trump won more than 70 million votes, the second highest total in American history. Nationally, he has more than a 47% share of his vote, and looks to have won 24 states, including his beloved Florida and Texas. He has an extraordinary hold over large swathes of this country, a visceral connection that among thousands of supporters has brought a near cult-like devotion. After four years in the White House, his supporters studied the fine print of his presidency and clicked enthusiastically on the terms and conditions of his presidency. Any analysis of his political weakness in 2020 also has to acknowledge his political strength. However, he was defeated, becoming one of only four incumbents in the modern era not to get another four years. Also he has become the first president to lose the po[CENSORED]r vote in consecutive elections. Live updates with reaction and analysis Five reasons Biden won the election Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 partly because he was a norm-busting political outsider who was prepared to say what had previously been unsayable. But Donald Trump also lost the presidency in 2020 partly because he was a norm-busting political outsider who was prepared to say what had previously been unsayable. Though much of the Trump base might well have voted for him if he had shot someone on Fifth Avenue, his infamous boast from four years ago, others who supported him four years ago were put off by his aggressive behaviour. This was especially true in the suburbs. Joe Biden improved on Hillary Clinton's performance in 373 suburban counties, helping him claw back the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, and enabling him to gain Georgia and Arizona. Donald Trump has a particular problem with suburban women. We witnessed again in the 2020 presidential election what we had seen in the 2018 mid-term election - more highly-educated Republicans, some of whom had voted for Trump four years ago prepared to give him a chance, thought his presidency was too unpresidential. Though they understood he would be unconventional, many found the manner in which he defied so many customs and behavioural norms off-putting and often offensive. They were put off by his aggressiveness. His stoking of racial tensions. His use of racist language in tweets maligning people of colour. His failure, on occasions, to adequately condemn white supremacy. His trashing of America's traditional allies and his admiration for authoritarian strongmen, such as Vladimir Putin. His strange boasts about being "a very stable genius" and the like. His promotion of conspiracy theories. His use of a lingua franca that sometimes made him sound more like a crime boss, such as when he described his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors, as "a rat". Then there was what critics derided as his creeping authoritarianism, seen after the election in his refusal to accept the result. A telling moment for me during this campaign came in Pittsburgh, when I chatted with Chuck Howenstein on the stoop of his terraced home. A Trump supporter in 2016, he voted for Joe Biden. "People are tired," he told me. "They want to see normalcy back in this country. They want to see decency. They want to see this hatred stop. They want to see this country united. And that together is going to bring Joe Biden the presidency." A political problem for Trump was that he failed to expand his support beyond his core Trump base. Nor did he try hard to do so. In 2016, he won 30 states and often governed as if he was the president solely of conservative, red America. The most deliberately divisive president of the past 100 years, he made little attempt to woo blue America, the 20 states that voted for Hillary Clinton. IMAGE COPYRIGHTGETTY IMAGES After four exhausting years, many voters simply wanted a presidency they could have on in the background - an occupant of the White House who would behave in a more conventional manner. They had tired of the infantile name-calling, the ugly language and the ceaseless confrontation. They wanted a return to some kind of normalcy. But the 2020 election was not a re-run of the 2016 election. This time he was the incumbent, not the insurgent. He had a record to defend, including his mishandling of a coronavirus outbreak which by Election Day had killed more than 230,000 Americans. In this age of negative partisanship, where politics is often driven by loathing of the opposition, he was not pitted against a hate figure like Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden was hard to demonise, which is partly why the Democratic establishment was so keen to have him as its presidential nominee. This 77-year-old centrist also did the job he was hired to do, which was to claw back white working class voters in the Rust Belt. The question of why Trump lost the presidency turns also on a more interesting and arguable question - when did he lose the presidency? Was it in the immediate aftermath of his victory in 2016, when people who had voted for Trump partly as a protest vote against the Washington political establishment instantly had misgivings? After all, many of those voters never expected him to win. Was it in the first 24 hours of his presidency, when he delivered his "American Carnage" inaugural address - which portrayed the country as a near dystopia of shuttered factories, left-behind workers and wealth "ripped" from middle class homes - before he ranted about the crowd size and vowed to continue using Twitter? By sundown of his first full day in charge, it had become clear that Donald Trump would seek to change the presidency more than the presidency changed him. Was it more cumulative, the snowball effect of so many scandals, so many slurs, so much staff turn-over, and so much chaos? Or was it as a result of the coronavirus, the biggest crisis that engulfed his presidency? Before the virus arrived on these shores, Trump's political vital signs were strong. He had survived his impeachment trial. His approval ratings matched the highest level it had been - 49%. He could boast a strong economy and the advantage of incumbency: the twin factors that usually secure a sitting president a second term. Often presidential elections turn on a simple question: is the country better off now than it was four years ago? After Covid hit, and the economic crisis that followed, it became almost impossible to make that case. But it is wrong to say that the Trump presidency was inevitably doomed by the coronavirus. Presidents often emerge from national convulsions stronger. Crises can often bring out greatness. That was true for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose rescuing of America from the Great Depression made him political unassailable. George W Bush's initial response to the attacks of September 11th also boosted his po[CENSORED]rity, and helped him win a second term. So it was by no means preordained that Covid would finish Donald Trump. It was his botched handling of the crisis that contributed to his fall. Still, again it is worth remembering that Donald Trump remained politically viable up until the end, despite the country experiencing its worst public health crisis in more than a 100 years, its biggest economic crisis since the 1930s and also its most widespread racial turbulence since the late 1960s. Much of red America, and much of a conservative movement he came to dominate, will yearn for his return. He will continue to be the dominant figure in the conservative movement for years to come. Trumpism could end up having the same transformative effect on American conservatism as Reaganism. The outgoing president will remain a deeply polarizing figure, and could run again in 2024. These disunited states have not suddenly become united again, not least because so many Americans will harbour such different emotions about Trump, ranging from devotion to abject hate. The country surely has not heard or seen the last of the most unorthodox president in its history.

The lawyers for the family of a black man shot in the back by police in the US state of Wisconsin say he will need a "miracle" to walk again. Jacob Blake, 29, was shot several times opening the door of his car in Kenosha. At least one of the bullets went through his spinal cord, lawyers said. The shooting of Mr Blake has sparked protests, which at times have turned violent. The governor of Wisconsin is sending more National Guard troops to Kenosha. As a result of the partial or complete severing of his spinal cord, Mr Blake is paralysed, with doctors unsure if he will recover the use of his legs. "His family believe in miracles, but the medical diagnosis right now is that he is paralysed and, because those bullets severed his spinal cord and shattered some of his vertebrae, it is going to take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr to ever walk again," lawyer Ben Crump told a press conference on Tuesday. The 29-year-old, shot as his young sons sat in the car, was also left with holes in his stomach, an arm injury and damage to his kidney and liver. Most of his colon and small intestine had to be removed, his lawyers told reporters. His mother Julia Jackson told the press conference her son had been "fighting for his life", but said if he "knew what was going on as far as that goes, the violence and the destruction, he would be very unpleased". Buildings and cars have been left damaged following protests over the shooting in the city of about 100,000 on the south-western shore of Lake Michigan. On Tuesday, Governor Tony Evers said he would send more National Guard troops to Kenosha to protect state buildings and support first responders and firefighters. A state of emergency has also been declared in Wisconsin, as protesters clashed with police for a third night. Mr Blake's shooting comes as the US grapples with the treatment of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement, as well as wider questions about racism in society, since the death in police custody in Minneapolis of another black man, George Floyd, in May. In her speech, Ms Jackson addressed racism directly and called for "healing". "Do you understand what is going to happen when we fall - because a house that is against each other cannot stand." What do we know about the shooting? Police say they were responding to a domestic incident when they went to the site of Sunday's shooting but have given few other details. So far it is unclear who called the police, how many officers were involved, and what happened before the shooting. Footage of the incident show Mr Blake opening the door and leaning into the car, at which point one officer grabs his shirt and opens fire. Seven shots can be heard in the video, as witnesses shout and scream. Mr Blake's fiancée Laquisha Booker, said the children - who witnessed everything as they sat in the back of the car - were screaming as their father was shot. Lawyers for Mr Blake said he had been trying to "de-escalate a domestic incident". Witnesses said the same to local media. Court records show there was an open arrest warrant against Mr Blake on sexual assault and domestic abuse charges but police have not said if officers were aware of this when they responded to the call on Sunday. Wisconsin's Department of Justice is investigating the incident in Kenosha, while the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. A petition calling for them to be charged has garnered tens of thousands of signatures. Mr Blake's father has said he does not have confidence in the investigation. "Anybody that is white, that is doing an investigation about a black young man that was shot seven times in his back, and haven't come up with an answer or a comment at this point, is not welcome," he told reporters. What is the latest with the protests? Within hours of Mr Blake's shooting, hundreds of people had marched on Kenosha's police headquarters. Cars were later set alight, and police urged 24-hour businesses to consider closing because of "numerous" calls about armed robberies and shots being fired. On Monday, Governor Evers called up the National Guard to aid local police and imposed a night-time curfew on Kenosha. But some ignored the curfew, and police used tear gas to try to force protesters - some of whom were throwing water bottles - to disperse. Police, backed up by the National Guard, also used rubber bullets and smoke bombs, protesters said. Some demonstrators were seen attacking cars and property with baseball bats, news agency Reuters reported, while others set cars alight. Hundreds of protesters also marched through the city on Tuesday. A small group of demonstrators threw fireworks and water bottles at police, who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. There are also reports of armed men on the streets vowing to defend private property amid the unrest. Protests have also spread to a number of other cities, including Portland, Oregon and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"To be able to work you have to have a roof. And have food. If you are not rested and have not eaten, you have no energy," explains Manuel, a Madrid man who does not turn 40 and who badly lived a few weeks on the street. He also says that he only slept three weeks in a park. Now he lives in a shelter. "What I want is to have a stable job. That would mean having a stable economy and a roof and table for every day. I want to: I want to live. That will be my victory," he says. MORE INFORMATION Breaking the cycle of poverty Nobody homeless The fish you eat and inequality Manuel, like so many others, is condemned to survive. He repeats that he falls into homelessness and that in three days, that trip may have no return. "It depends on the time. In summer, with lighter clothes, it is less hard. But imagine in winter, with cold and ... you have it on; nothing more." ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads His story speaks of the reality of poverty, a journey whose cycle is more than difficult to leave. "Day 1 without a house. Start the day, start walking, get food in a social canteen ... You walk, you walk, the night falls and you look for a place to sleep. You pretend whole and the next day, you get up and ... where do you clean yourself? In a bar? Bad: they look at you badly and you start, unintentionally, to lose hygiene and encouragement. And you are left alone, more and more alone. Then, you talk to someone and you interact more than with other people without a home and create a closed circle of friendship. And another day. And another. And another. And more isolated and you see that you have nothing, only reality, which says that you do not come out easily, "he says. He has just finished a job as a warehouse boy and hopes to be called for the Christmas campaign. The discontinuity in the work and the precariousness continue being, next to the lack of access to housing, the main limitation so that Manuel reaches "his victory". Miguel Ángel, 51, also from the capital, lives with a family who pays rent for a room: 250 euros per month. Now he works as a cleaner. It is almost 'mileurist', he says, but when he does not have that landline he knows how to survive with 380 euros, those of a subsidy he receives for a 60% disability; A money that counts you lose when you clean. I bring their stories here to talk about inequality and poverty even for those who work. The two today have minimal needs met, but "poverty," underlines the United Nations, is an urgent human rights problem and is both the cause and consequence of human rights violations, as it is characterized by multiple and interconnected violations of human rights. civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. " Reducing poverty and eradicating it is therefore an obligation of all societies. And do not go to remote sites: inequality in Spain grows, as do the number of users who come to our centers every day (dining rooms, flats and employability centers for those who suffer most). In Spain, as published in January Oxfam Intermón in its report Inequality 1, Equal Opportunities 0, "last year there were an increase of 16,500 households in which no income entered, reaching 617,000." And there, as always, those who suffer most are the segments of the most vulnerable po[CENSORED]tion: women, migrants and children. According to Oxfam Intermón, last year there were an increase of 16,500 households that did not enter any type of income, reaching 617,000 in Spain. At this point again it is important to go and look for the gender perspective. Because they are more invisible, but they are still poor and exclusion is especially primed in them (with or without a home). This is demonstrated by the data published recently by the INE. They show that almost a third of women between 16 and 30 are at risk of poverty in Spain. That is why policies that break this cycle of inequality and provide the necessary opportunities for equality are necessary. It is necessary that the work is not precarious and is a guarantee of a decent life. We need that the National Poverty Eradication Strategy be permanently on the political agenda, be provided with budgets for its development and constitute a political commitment to which social entities also join. From Luz Casanova we look for situations such as Manuel and Miguel Ángel to be reversed, through accommodation and the employment program, which accompanies access to work and training to improve opportunities. Julia Almansa is director of the Luz Casanova Foundation, which works mainly with homeless people and women and minors victims of gender violence.
