Salamat's comments

My different take on hacking the under desk exercise bike has been different by hanging it on the wall so that you could be excersizing lying on your back.

There has been a swift resonse to deny it by the "industry" with a little help from Nytimes and all.Yet,as a journalist, the guy asked the questions yet no one has given him in the documentary any comment.Now they are responding to public opinion.BBC's Reality Check team looked into some of the main claims in the Seaspiracy film on Netflix and most of them are somewhat accurate. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/440156/fact-check-on-netfli...

Even in the desert where the landscape in always infux with sand dunes, people used to travel the desert and they still do in Africa and the middle east, they look up the into the sky for stars etc.Beduens still do it there, they unril recently-used to travel either walking or in camel convoys from Syria to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. But when I got lost in the desert - car broke down- at dusk I had to wait walk, in the wrong direction as it turned out, untill sunset.

IMF has last granted a loan to Ecuador in Mar 21, 2003, that is 16 years. Now Ecuador is a client.

Any possible relation to the arrest of Assange? IMF board approves $4.2 bln financing deal with Ecuador March 11 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund’s executive board approved the $4.2 billion financing deal with Ecuador https://www.reuters.com/article/ecuador-imf/imf-board-approv...

Sometimes it is air pollution irritating the nose, when I went to Copenhagen, I said it was the first time I was able to breath in a decade, while I was smoking at 3 am outside my hotel,Bella Sky .

Saltwater Washes (Nasal Saline) for Sinusitis helps a lot to clear any obstruction in the nasal cavity, it helped me breathe better.

I know of several ethnic Abkhazians from Jordan and Syria who volunteered and fought against the Georgian army which was threatening to conduct total ethnic cleansing of Abkhazians. "August 25, 1992: The commander of the Georgian army, Gia Karkarashvili, stated on TV that he would sacrifice 100,000 Georgians to kill all 97,000 Abkhazians, if that is what it took to keep Georgia's borders inviolate.' [A similar threat came from the head of Georgia's wartime administration, Giorgi Khaindrava, on the pages of Le Monde Diplomatique in April 1993. Goga (Giorgi) Khaindrava, told the correspondent from Le Monde Diplomatique that "there are only 80,000 Abkhazians, which means that we can easily and completely destroy the genetic stock of their nation by killing 15,000 of their youth. And we are perfectly capable of doing this.''] https://abkhazworld.com/aw/conflict/729-chronicle-1992-93-ge...

I think the Georgian fascist fervour was behind the drive of Abkhazian for independence.I was told the other side of the story by several Abkhazians, they said they were deprived of jobs, housing and oppressed by the Georgians in their capital Sukhumi. I am saying their capital because Abkhazia was a state before the USSR, they joined and were promised independence in case USSR got dissolved, yet Georgian Stalin obstructed that and got rid of all Abkhazian nationalists in his circle (source in the youtube this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYGyyuxRPws.

Things are in limbo, destroyed buildingS are still deserted, lives shattered, this 5-year-old documentary seems from yesterday, I went there 3 months ago, nothing is normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYGyyuxRPws

It is not normal in Abkhazia at all, it is depressingly suffocating for the young generation to survive there with no hope of normal life. There is no longer any Russian financial support, they are broke now. Kids are allowed to drink alcohol at an early age because of their old traditions, drugs and suicide are rampant, even the coach of a football team was caught doing cocaine, and the legal system is broke due to tribalism. I visited Abkhazia last July, they are cut off, no airport, no seaport, just one crossing controlled by Russians.No real economy, just Russian tourists who would generate some business in the summer, now in winter I heard many calls for help.

"There is a law in China that says citizens and corporations are required to cooperate with its intelligence services." The US and its intelligence services have been doing the same with US tech companies. " The US National Security Agency (NSA) infected hard disk firmware with spyware in a campaign valued as highly as Stuxnet that dates back at least 14 years and possibly up to two decades – all according to an analysis by Kaspersky Labs.The campaign infected possibly tens of thousands of Windows computers in telecommunications providers, governments, militaries, utilities, and mass media organisations among others in more than 30 countries. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/02/17/kaspersky_labs_equa...

This research aims to study and design a mechatronic system capable of rendering images through a touchable surface to help the blind to read and understand these images. This system uses mechanical and electronic techniques and integrated software to convert the gray image to a three - dimensional surface. The mechanical mechanisms used with the control systems have been studied to reach the design that is capable of transferring the fixed images to the mechanical system with the possibility of forming surfaces with suitable accuracy . The gray levels in the stationary images were represented as a mathematical variable that changes on the Z axis in terms of Cartesian coordinates where zero is considered black, and the maximum value expresses th e white and gray levels within the linear area of these two points The “ Afr o ge ” image processing library was used w ith the C # programming language to build an interface for analysis and communication with the Arduino controllers, which acted as an intermed iary to link the image data and the mechanical device (tactile display ) to display images for the blind. Finally all designed systems (mechanical, electronic and software) have been tested after they have been successfully designed . Training of a group of blind people was conducted to test the system on several samples of images of different forms and the system has demonstrated its ability to transmit multiple types of information.

I think Turkish lacks consonants so it was tough for me to learn it with vowels flowing freely like there is no tomorrow. That throat sound, they call it glotral and it is there in many languages such as Spanish German and Irish and Scottish. kh' as in Scots 'loch' or German 'mach' but the Ein sound is toug: Ayin the sixteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician ʿayin Phoenician ayin. Hebrew ʿayin ע‬, Aramaic ʿē Ayin.svg, Syriac ʿē ܥ, and Arabic ʿayn ع‎

In my work, I have colleagues from all Arabic countries among others, I talk to people of Morroco and my Arabic is more Levante, with no issue at all. Syrian dialect, along with Egyptian, has gained a lot of ease in the region due to popular tv series and movies (more Egyptian than Syrian ones)I predict that the variations will be reduced since the differences grow out of old geographical barriers that gave distinctions and differences. There is a lesser strict everyday language that is very simple yet formal Arabic, as in the news, be it TV or online. So please look further before jumping to conclusions, as in the region you would read the news regardless of the geographical aspect of the source. If an Arabic website in Morroco has a compelling news story, or article speakers of Arabic in the whole region and abroad will read it very comfortably.

I visited abkhazia and was told they have wood that is very hard it does not float in water. Could not verify that.

Blame it on the auto industry they created the idea "jay-walking" which was introduced in the 1920's by them part of a propaganda campaign to claim the roads for cars and shift the blame in accidents from cars to pedestrians. They forced other countries some in the middle east to abandon public transport to promote cars. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26073797

It is shoddy journalism, or rather propaganda when anonymous is really a CIA/MOSSAD etc, as is the case with Bloomberg et al.

But both "Apple and Amazon are denying a report claiming spy chips from China were found in hardware they use. According to a report by Bloomberg, tiny microchips were found on motherboards of servers assembled by the San Jose company Super Micro Computer.

An official cited anonymously by Bloomberg said the supply chain-level breach affected almost 30 companies, including Amazon Web Services and Apple.

In a statement published Thursday, Apple denied the Bloomberg report, claiming malicious chips were never uncovered.

"We are deeply disappointed that in their dealings with us, Bloomberg’s reporters have not been open to the possibility that they or their sources might be wrong or misinformed," read Apple's statement.

Amazon called the report "erroneous" in a blog post published Thursday. "At no time, past or present, have we ever found any issues relating to modified hardware or malicious chips in Super Micro motherboards in any Elemental or Amazon systems," the company said.

In a statement released Thursday, Bloomberg News said the story required more than a year of reporting and more than 100 interviews. They also said 17 individual sources confirmed the manipulated hardware."
