Capitolo 16 - La nascita di un nuovo country (di Kirsti VK9NL)

Un’isola ghiacciata nell’Oceano Antartico era stata per un pò di tempo una possibile aggiunta alla DXCC Country List. Poiché nessuno aveva mai utilizzato la radio lì, nessuno l’aveva mai lavorata. Poi, nel 1987, finalmente si è avverata. Una volta saputo che Peter 1 Island sarebbe nata a fine gennaio nelle bande amatoriali, le aspettative erano alte. KD7P aveva provato ad attivare questa newone…

A Brief Guide to Yachts

This is a continuation to my cultural education segment (aka my rich bitch guide).

The yacht is an invention of the 14th century Dutch. The Dutch used small, fast boats for chasing smugglers, pirates and criminals. Rich ship owners and merchants began using these small “jaghts” to sail out to celebrate their returning merchant ships.

The first yacht club in the world, called the Cork Water Club, was established in Ireland in 1720.

Some famous clubs include:

USA:

1. Annapolis Yacht Club: Surrounding the Spa Creek Bridge in Annapolis, the Club boasts over 75 wet slips and dry dockage. The club began in 1886 as an informal canoe club, and today has 1600 regular members active in social, racing, and cruising programs

2. Chicago Yacht Club: Founded in 1875, Chicago Yacht Club is one of the oldest and most respected yacht clubs in the world. The Club is home to more than 1,400 members, including a winning America’s Cup skipper, and Olympic medalists.

Italy:

1. Circolo Canottieri Aniene

2. Circolo degli Esteri

3. Compagnia della Vela

Canada:

1. Royal Canadian Yacht Club

2. Royal Vancouver Yacht Club

Yachts are most active in the summer months (May- August in the northern hemisphere) or the winter months. many yacht owners decide to keep the maximum number of guests onboard to 12 (plus crew) for chartering.

Different types of yachts:

Sailing Yacht: a yacht mainly propelled via wind and sails

Motor Yacht: a yacht propelled via one or more motors

Gulet Yacht: a hybrid yacht with both sails and motors

Open Yacht, Cruiser, Cabin Cruiser, Express Cruiser: an otherwise uncategorized standard yacht for cruising and entertaining

Luxury Yacht: a yacht that includes high-end finishes and features and the latest in modern performance technology. The term ‘luxury’ can precede any type of yacht, i.e. “luxury motor yacht”, “luxury sailing yacht”, etc.

Sports Yacht: a yacht geared towards fishing, water sports, or cruising with a sleeker design and more powerful motor for faster cruising speeds.

Catamaran Yacht: a yacht with two hulls (pontoons) often made of fiberglass that can be used in shallow waters.

The most popular destinations:

1. Monaco

2. The French Riviera

3. Greece

4. U.S. Virgin Islands

5. Palm Beach, Florida

6. Costa Smeralda, Italy

7. St. George’s Parish, Bermuda 

8. Newport, Rhode Island 

9. Nantucket, Massachusetts

10. Greater Victoria, Vancouver Island

Insane super yachts

Football club owner Shahid Khan's 95 metre Lürssen Kismet was delivered in 2014. On match days, a four-metre silver statue of a jaguar, its paw resting on a football helmet, graces the bow. Elsewhere, its sizeable foredeck has enough space for Khan's beloved football team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, to stage a practice.

The 70 metre Feadship superyacht Joy features a deck that's wide enough to enjoy a tandem jog around. This yacht is all about exterior living, which includes making use of these ample decks with some great sporting facilities. A basketball and badminton court is set all the way forward on the owner's deck. This is complemented by her large gym and dedicated spa. All of this adds up to make Joy an ideal choice for those interested in a yacht with ample fitness, wellness and sporting amenities.

Fanworks! (an ongoing list)

Hozier sang: "all you have is your fire and a place you need to reach".

I think I found the sparkle of my fire in writing, especially poetry, almost ten years ago. The place, well... This is another story. A work in progress, if you want.

I also wrote fanfics on EFP and recently started to share them on AO3.

The relationship I have with my works is swinging: one day I look at them with the love you reserve for a child and another I just want to burn them down and bury their ashes, pretending they never existed.

Due to University and other things of mundane life, I am facing a writer's block. While I try to recover, I hope you'll enjoy what I have to offer 🫶🏻❤️

Rhoda Holmes Nicholls (1854-1930) pintora inglesa-estadounidense.

Nacida en Coventry, Inglaterra. Hija del reverendo William Grome Holmes y Marion Cooke Holmes. Su padre, graduado de la Universidad de Oxford, era vicario de la parroquia de Littlehampton, Sussex.

Cuando tenía diez años, su familia se mudó a Hertfordshire.

Fue educada por institutrices y en un internado. Durante su infancia tuvo formación musical y artística. Ella "heredó la intelectualidad y el gusto culto" de sus padres y se graduó de la escuela con honores.

Estudió arte en la Escuela de Arte de Bloomsbury, una de las escuelas del Museo de Kensington en Londres.

Después de estudiar en Londres durante un año, decidió continuar sus estudios en Italia. Holmes estudió figura humana y la pintura de paisajes, en Venecia y Roma.

En el invierno de 1881 conoció y mostró su trabajo a la reina Margarita de Italia, quien elogió su talento y logros. Se unió al Circolo Artistico, un club de artistas profesionales multinacionales, donde tomó clases nocturnas. Fue la segunda mujer elegida miembro de la Sociedad de Acuarelistas.

Posteriormente continuó sus estudios con William Merritt Chase en la Escuela de Arte de Verano de Shinnecock Hills.

Ella y su madre pasaron un año cerca de Port Elizabeth, en Sudáfrica, en la granja de avestruces de 25.000 acres propiedad de sus dos hermanos. "Encantada" con el desierto de Karoo y el paisaje montañoso, la fauna, la vida salvaje y la arquitectura, pintó muchas obras durante su estancia. También cazaba y montaba a caballo con sus hermanos.

Rhoda conoció al artista estadounidense Burr H. Nicholls durante un viaje posterior a Venecia. Se casaron en 1884 en la iglesia Lyminster en Sussex, Inglaterra, pasaron su luna de miel en Venecia y navegaron hacia los Estados Unidos en la primavera de 1884.

Burr Nicholls, nacido en 1848, y su esposa expusieron sus obras en juntos en varias exposiciones, como las Exposiciones Industriales Interestatales de Chicago.

En 1893, la pareja vivía en una casa "acogedora" y ambos tenían estudios en el último piso. En 1896, vivían en una mansión en la ciudad de Nueva York. Tuvieron una hija, Rhoda Olive, y un hijo, Arundel Holmes Nicholls, que se convirtieron en temas favoritos de sus obras.

El matrimonio vivió una crisis cuando una de las obras de ella fue aceptada para su exhibición en el Salón de París, pero la obra de su marido fue rechazada. La pareja se divorció y "los periódicos advirtieron ampliamente a las mujeres sobre los peligros del éxito y su influencia potencial en la felicidad conyugal y doméstica". Burr Nicholls murió en 1915.

Después de vivir en la ciudad de NY durante ocho años, fue descrita como "una de las artistas más conocidas de Nueva York".

También enseñó arte desde su estudio de la Séptima Avenida en Nueva York, en la Art Students League de Nueva York, la Escuela de Arte Shinnecock de William Merritt Chase en Long Island y en ciudades del este de Estados Unidos.

Murió en Stamford, Connecticut, como resultado de la osteoartritis que la había dejado inválida durante los últimos 10 años de su vida.

Le ponemos cara.

Pantelleria, Federica Di Giovanni, 2012-2016

"A Pantelleria il carnevale ha una lunga tradizione pagana contadina. Inizia l’8 dicembre, finisce durante il periodo delle Ceneri e si svolge all’interno dei Circoli.

I Circoli hanno una loro bandiera, uno statuto, un codice d'onore tramandato dagli antenati che, dalla seconda metà dell’800, li costruirono come luogo per il dopolavoro agricolo.

Durante il Carnevale questi luoghi si trasformano in piccole e affollate balere dove è possibile ballare il liscio fino all’alba e dove si può celare la propria identità sotto la maschera.

Più che mascheramento è un camuffamento sotto cui ci si nasconde con lenzuola, guanti da cucina, parrucche colorate e quant’altro possa servire a confondere o nascondere. Alcuni nascondono addirittura la propria voce declinandola in falsetto.

A mezzanotte il maestro d’orchestra annuncia a tutte le maschere presenti che, se vogliono rimanere nel Circolo, devono privarsi del travestimento. Chi non ha intenzione di svelare la propria identità è quindi costretto, ad uscire dalla sala da ballo.

Da due secoli, questa tradizione pagana non è mai cambiata e, come si può comprendere, questi balli, specialmente nel passato e per le donne, costituivano l’unica opportunità di evasione e di nuove conoscenze."

Gli altri sport: Il golf

Uno degli sport perfetti da giocare in una giornata primaverile… Il golf ha le sue origini nella Roma Antica, dove si giocava la paganica, un sport che aveva come protagonisti una palla di cuoio gonfia di piume ben compresse e un bastone, che sarebbe poi arrivato in Scozia, patria del golf moderno, con l’Impero Romano.  Nel Medioevo in Scozia e in Olanda c’era un gioco con pietra e bastoni, detto goulf in scozzese e kolf in olandese  ed è una che si può spiegare con i rapporti commerciali tra le due nazioni. Se in Olanda con il tempo il golf perse importanza, lo stesso non fu in Scozia, dove venne praticato anche dai reali, tra cui Maria Stuarda e Giacomo I. Altre testimonianze dimostrano che un gioco analogo al golf,  chiamato chuíwán,  era praticato in Cina  dalla Dinastia Tang Meridionale, poi sarebbe arrivato in Scozia nel tardo Medioevo con i viaggiatori mongoli. E in Scozia che si ha il primo documento ufficiale che dimostra l’esistenza del golf, cioè un decreto del 1457 di Giacomo II per la sua proibizione dato che era fonte di distrazione da attività fondamentali per la difesa del regno, fu li che nacque il golf moderno e ne furono definite le regole per la prima volta  dal Gentlemen Golfers di Leith, il più antico golf club , fondato nel 1744 da William St. Clair di Roslin, poi riviste dal Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews nel 1754, quando ci fu  la scelta del campo standard a 18 buche. Il primo campo da gioco nella storia del golf divenne il Royal Oldest Golf Club a Musselburgh dove all’inizio del XVI secolo si svolgevano delle partite e li all’inizio del XIX secolo, a partire da una grondaia tagliata, fu realizzato uno strumento per tagliare buche regolari adottato successivamente anche al St Andrews, che rese la dimensione delle buche così ottenute, di 10,8 cm,  quella standard. Nel 1860 fu fondato il British Open Championship per stabilire il miglior giocatore dopo la scomparsa di Allan Robertson di Prestwick. In America il golf arrivò nel XVIII secolo grazie agli olandesi e si diffusa nella Carolina del Sud e in Georgia, ma per avere il primo percorso permanente si dovette aspettare il 1891, quando fu  realizzato a Shinnecock Hills, Long Island. Nel 1894 vennero fondate la United States Golf Association e l’US Amateur Championship, che anticipò di un anno il primo US Open e da allora il golf divenne uno sport di massa. In Italia il golf arrivò nel Settecento tramite la nobiltà inglese, che si sfidava a Villa Doria Pamphili. Nel 1895 a Sorrento fu fondato il primo Golf Club, seguito da quelli di Varese (1897), Firenze (1899) e Sanremo (1901). A Roma il primo golf club risale al 1898 e le gare vennero  realizzate a Villa Doria Pamphili, a Villa Borghese, e su un percorso fuori Porta San Giovanni, nel 1903 il club divenne il Circolo del golf di Roma dell’Acquasanta ed  è ancora oggi il più antico d’Italia. La prima gara ufficiale di golf si tenne in Italia soltanto nel 1905, mentre per la nascita della Federazione Italiana Golf si dovette attendere il 1927. Nonostante non sia mai stato molto diffuso, il golf italiano ha visto alcuni nomi degni di nota, all’inizio del XX secolo ci furono Pietro Manca, Ugo Grappasonni, Aldo Casera; nel secondo dopoguerra Baldovino Dassù, negli anni Novanta Costantino Rocca e di recente i fratelli Francesco ed Edoardo Molinari, Matteo Manassero, Renato Paratore e Nino Bertasio.

Proprio come Platone citava la leggenda egiziana dell'isola sommersa di Atlantide, lo storico greco Erodoto menzionò la leggenda egiziana del continente di Hyperborea nell'estremo nord.

Quando il ghiaccio distrusse questa antica terra, si diceva che la sua gente fosse migrata a sud.

Scrivendo nel 1679, l'autore svedese Olaf Rudbeck identificò i Proto-Atlantidei con gli Iperborei e li localizzò al Polo Nord.

Nella mitologia greca il popolo iperboreo viveva “al di là del vento del nord”.

I Greci pensavano che in Tracia abitasse Borea il Dio del Vento del Nord (uno degli Anemoi, o "Venti") e quindi Hyperborea indica una regione che si trovava ben a nord della Tracia.

Erodoto ha registrato che tre fonti precedenti menzionavano gli Iperborei tra cui Esiodo e Omero.

Questa terra è stata descritta come perfetta con il sole che splende 24 ore al giorno suggerendo una posizione all'interno del Circolo Polare Artico. Secondo il poeta greco classico Pindaro.

“Mai la Musa è assente dai loro sentieri: le lire stridono e i flauti piangono e ovunque volteggia il coro inaugurale. Né la malattia né l'amara vecchiaia si mescolano al loro sacro sangue; lontani dal lavoro e dalla battaglia, vivono”.

Insieme a Thule, Hyperborea era una delle numerose terrae incognitae per i greci e i romani dove Plinio, Pindaro ed Erodoto, così come Virgilio e Cicerone, riferirono che le persone vivevano fino a mille anni e godevano di una vita di completa felicità.

Ecateo di Abdera raccolse tutte le storie sulla corrente iperborea nel IV secolo a.C. e pubblicò un ampio trattato su di esse perduto per noi ma annotato da Diodoro Siculo:

“Nelle regioni oltre la terra dei Celti c'è un'isola nell'oceano non più piccola della Sicilia. Quest'isola continua la storia si trova a nord ed è abitata dagli Iperborei, che hanno questo nome perché la loro casa si trova oltre il punto in cui soffia il vento del nord (Boreas); e l'isola è fertile e produttiva di tutti i raccolti e ha un clima temperato. "

Just as Plato cited the Egyptian legend of the submerged island of Atlantis, the Greek historian Herodotus mentioned the Egyptian legend of the continent of Hyperborea in the far north.

When the ice destroyed this ancient land, his people were said to have migrated south.

Writing in 1679, Swedish author Olaf Rudbeck identified the Proto-Atlanteans with the Hyperboreans and located them at the North Pole.

In Greek mythology the Hyperborean people lived "beyond the north wind".

The Greeks thought that Boreas the God of the North Wind (one of the Anemoi, or "Winds") inhabited Thrace and therefore Hyperborea indicates a region that was well north of Thrace.

Herodotus recorded that three earlier sources mentioned the Hyperboreans including Hesiod and Homer.

This land has been described as perfect with the sun shining 24 hours a day suggesting a location within the Arctic Circle. According to the classical Greek poet Pindar.

“The Muse is never absent from their paths: the liras screech and the flutes cry and she whirls the inaugural choir wherever she goes. Neither sickness nor bitter old age mingles with their sacred blood; far from work and battle, they live ".

Along with Thule, Hyperborea was one of several terrae incognitae to the Greeks and Romans where Pliny, Pindar and Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero, reported that people lived up to a thousand years and enjoyed a life of complete happiness.

Hecateus of Abdera collected all the stories about the Hyperborean current in the 4th century BC. and published an extensive treatise on them lost to us but annotated by Diodorus Siculus:

“In the regions beyond the land of the Celts there is an island in the ocean no smaller than Sicily. This island continues the story is located in the north and is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who have this name because their home is located beyond the point where the north wind blows (Boreas); and the island is fertile and productive of all crops and has a temperate climate.

A thought experiment (Washington Post) The political scientist Brendan Nyhan has often responded to events by asking a question: What would you say if you saw it in another country? Imagine that a president of another country lost an election and refused to concede defeat. Instead, he lied about the vote count. He then filed lawsuits to have ballots thrown out, put pressure on other officials to back him up and used the power of government to prevent a transition of power from starting. How would you describe this behavior? It’s certainly anti-democratic. It is an attempt to overrule the will of the people, ignore a country’s laws and illegitimately grab political power. President Trump’s efforts will probably fail, but they are unlike anything that living Americans have experienced. “What we have seen in the last week from the president more closely resembles the tactics of the kind of authoritarian leaders we follow,” Michael Abramowitz, the president of Freedom House, which tracks democracy, told The Times. “I never would have imagined seeing something like this in America.”

Biden’s Policy Agenda Rests Heavily on Senate Outcome (NYT) President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s transition team is preparing multiple sets of policy proposals for the economy, health care, climate change and other domestic issues, including the ambitious agenda Mr. Biden laid out in his winning campaign, while acknowledging it may have to be pared back in recognition of divided government. Where the incoming administration lands depends heavily on two Senate runoffs in Georgia in early January. If Democrats win both races, close aides to Mr. Biden and economists who helped advise his campaign say the president-elect will try to push through a large stimulus plan for the flagging economic recovery—most likely along the lines of the $2.2 trillion that House Democrats approved this fall. His stimulus plan under such a scenario would include hundreds of billions of dollars for state and local governments that have lost tax revenue amid the pandemic recession, extended unemployment benefits for people who lost jobs during the crisis and a new round of aid for small businesses. A narrow majority in the Senate would also give Mr. Biden the chance to push through his proposed tax increases on corporations and the rich—tax hikes that would be used to fund the president-elect’s more ambitious plans like rebuilding roads and bridges, speeding the transition to a carbon-free energy sector and helping Americans afford health care. But if Republicans win even one of the Georgia seats, Mr. Biden will most likely need to settle for a wave of executive actions that would bring more incremental progress toward his policy goals, while trying to cut compromise deals with Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader.

Millions Face Loss of Jobless Aid: ‘Without It, I’m Dead in the Water’ (NYT) Two critical unemployment programs are set to expire at the end of the year, potentially leaving millions of Americans vulnerable to eviction and hunger and threatening to short-circuit an economic recovery that has already lost momentum. As many as 13 million people are receiving payments under the programs, which Congress created last spring to expand and extend the regular unemployment system during the coronavirus pandemic. Leaders of both major parties have expressed support for renewing the programs in some form, but Congress has been unable to reach a deal to do so. It remains unclear how the results of last week’s election will affect prospects for an agreement. That means that for now at least, people like Randy Williams must prepare for the possibility that they are weeks away from losing their only income. Mr. Williams, 56, lost his job as a manager at a Memphis-area Cracker Barrel in the first weeks of the pandemic. His state jobless benefits ran out last month, leaving him to rely on a 13-week extension under the federal Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which ends in late December. Already, Mr. Williams is struggling to get by on his $275 weekly benefit check, the maximum allowed in Tennessee. He has fallen behind on rent, racked up thousands of dollars in credit card debt and turned to a food pantry run by a church. Even with the benefits, “I may have got behind on this or that, robbing Peter to pay Paul this month,” he said. “But without it, I’m dead in the water.”

Hospitals brace for problems (Washington Post) The number of new daily coronavirus cases in the United States jumped from 104,000 a week earlier to more than 145,000 yesterday, an all-time high. Nearly every metric is trending in the wrong direction, prompting states to add new restrictions and hospitals to prepare for a potentially dark future. “We’re at a fairly critical juncture,” said Dave Dillon, a spokesman for the Missouri Hospital Association. The day will soon come when hospital staffing will fall below standards that are normally required, he said.

Police crackdown rocks top Mexican tourist resort (AFP) Images of terrified protesters fleeing police and gunfire have shaken one of Mexico’s top beach resorts and dealt another blow to a tourism industry already reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. The crackdown on Monday in front of Cancun city hall, where hundreds were demonstrating against the murder of a local woman, sparked national outcry and protests in Mexico City. Three people were injured when police fired in the air for several minutes and chased the mostly female demonstrators through a budget hotel district after property was vandalized. Live fire by police against protesters is unprecedented in Cancun and rare across Mexico, where security forces usually limit themselves to using shields and sometimes pepper spray. It was criticized by authorities at the regional and national level, cost the local police chief his job and led to the suspension of Quintana Roo’s head of security.

Evo Morales makes gleeful return to town he fled (Guardian) Tens of thousands of jubilant followers have welcomed Evo Morales back to the coca-growing region from which he fled into exile exactly one year ago after what they branded a racist rightwing coup. “Evo, Evo, Evo,” chanted the people who had travelled from all over Bolivia to witness their leader’s triumphant return home in the jungle-flanked town of Chimoré. Bolivia’s first indigenous president resigned and abandoned the South American country on 11 November 2019, making his escape on a Mexican air force jet that whisked him out of Chimoré’s airport. Morales decided to bolt when security forces withdrew their support after later questioned claims of electoral fraud in the presidential election sparked street protests and deadly unrest. But on Wednesday, two days after re-entering Bolivia at the start of an emotional, politically-charged homecoming, he made a gleeful return to the same town—to a rapturous reception.

Italian hospitals face breaking point in fall virus surge (AP) Dr. Luca Cabrini was certain his hospital in the heart of Lombardy’s lake district would reach its breaking point caring for 300 COVID-19 patients. So far, virus patients fill 500 beds and counting. Italy, which shocked the world and itself when hospitals in the wealthy north were overwhelmed with coronavirus cases last spring, is again facing a systemic crisis, as confirmed positives pass the symbolic threshold of 1 million. “We are very close to not keeping up. I cannot say when we will reach the limit, but that day is not far off,” said Cabrini, who runs the intensive care ward at Varese’s Circolo hospital, the largest in the province of 1 million people northwest of Milan. The Italian doctors federation called this week for a nationwide lockdown to forestall a collapse of the medical system, marked by the closure of non-emergency procedures. The government is facing tougher criticism than in the spring, when the health crisis was met with an outpouring of solidarity. As of Wednesday, 52% of Italy’s hospital beds were occupied by COVID-19 patients, above the 40% warning threshold set by the Health Ministry. Nine of Italy’s 21 regions and autonomous provinces are already securely in the red-alert zone, above 50% virus occupancy, with Lombardy at 75%, Piedmont at 92% and South Tyrol at an astonishing 99%.

Azerbaijan’s drones owned the battlefield in Nagorno-Karabakh (Washington Post) The drone’s-eye view over Nagorno-Karabakh defined much of the six-week war in the mountainous enclave within Azerbaijan: The video first showed soldiers below in trenches, then came blasts and smoke, then nothing. Drone strikes—targeting Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh soldiers and destroying tanks, artillery and air defense systems—provided a huge advantage for Azerbaijan in the 44-day war and offered the clearest evidence yet of how battlefields are being transformed by unmanned attack drones rolling off assembly lines around the world. The expanding array of relatively low-cost drones can offer countries air power at a fraction of the cost of maintaining a traditional air force. The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh also underscored how drones can suddenly shift a long-standing conflict and leave ground forces highly exposed. “Drones offer small countries very cheap access to tactical aviation and precision guided weapons, enabling them to destroy an opponent’s much-costlier equipment such as tanks and air defense systems,” said Michael Kofman, military analyst and director of Russia studies at CNA, a defense think tank in Arlington, Va. “An air force is a very expensive thing,” he added. “And they permit the utility of air power to smaller, much poorer nations.”

Wolf sentinels (Foreign Policy) The Japanese town of Takikawa on the northern island of Hokkaido has found a novel solution to its growing bear problem: wolf robots. More like mechanized scarecrows, the fake wolves come equipped with loudspeakers producing wolf howls once bears come within range. Sightings of bears in Japan are at their highest levels in five years, and two fatal bear attacks have already taken place in 2020. Takikawa officials say they have not encountered any more bears since the lupine sentinels were deployed.

Biden vows to defend Japan as China asserts power in Asia (Washington Post) As China flexes its muscles, President-elect Joe Biden is offering assurances to America’s top allies in the Asia-Pacific region that he’s not going to be a soft touch. Biden spoke with the leaders of Australia, Japan and South Korea on Wednesday night in Washington, underlining in each call his commitment to “strengthen” their bilateral alliance. “The president-elect underscored his deep commitment to the defense of Japan and U.S. commitments under Article 5,” Biden’s team said, referring to the two countries’ joint security treaty that commits the United States to respond to any attack on Japan. Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga went further, saying that Biden had given “a commitment” that Article 5 would cover an attack on the Senkaku islands, a chain of five rocky outcrops administered by Japan but claimed by China, which calls them Diaoyu. With the world struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic, and the United States distracted by its marathon electoral process, China has been seizing the moment to assert itself. On Wednesday, China dramatically intensified its clampdown on Hong Kong, a subject of bitter dispute between Beijing and Washington. Chinese coast guard ships, meanwhile, have been ratcheting up the pressure around the Senkaku islands, appearing in the nearby waters almost every day this year, more than ever before.

Typhoon Vamco batters the Philippines, leaving millions without power (Washington Post) A week and a half after suffering a deadly hit from a super typhoon, another storm battered the Philippines overnight into Thursday, cutting power to millions and leaving at least one person dead and countless others stranded. Typhoon Vamco, the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane, struck the northern island of Luzon, the third typhoon and fifth tropical cyclone to affect the Philippines in less than three weeks. Super Typhoon Goni narrowly sidestepped the capital region of more than 12 million this month, but Vamco brought rain and winds of up to 105 mph Wednesday night into Thursday. On Thursday, houses were submerged and Filipinos were stranded on rooftops. The hashtag #RescuePH trended on social media, with people posting their whereabouts and contact details, begging for help. Many were stranded with the elderly, children and pets. Some were rescued on rubber life boats; in one video, a child was floated out in a basin. The Manila Electric Company said almost two million households—a fifth of its base—were still without electricity at midday Thursday.

In ruins, Syria marks 50 years of Assad family rule (AP) On Nov. 13, 1970, a young air force officer from the coastal hills of Syria launched a bloodless coup. It was the latest in a succession of military takeovers since independence from France in 1946, and there was no reason to think it would be the last. Yet 50 years later, Hafez Assad’s family still rules Syria. The country is in ruins from a decade of civil war that killed a half million people, displaced half the population and wiped out the economy. Entire regions are lost from government control. But Hafez’s son, Bashar Assad, has an unquestioned grip on what remains. It wasn’t clear whether the government intended to mark the 50-year milestone this year. While the anniversary has been marked with fanfare in previous years, it has been a more subdued celebration during the war. “There can be no doubt that 50 years of Assad family rule ... has left the country what can only be described as broken, failed and almost forgotten,” said Neil Quilliam, an associate fellow at Chatham House’s Middle East and North Africa program.

Trump may be headed out the door, but Saudi Arabia’s global enablers remain (Washington Post) In November 2017, Jamal Khashoggi told me “In Saudi Arabia, we cannot choose our leaders. We can only hope they get it right.” Less than a year later, the Post contributing columnist would be murdered by agents of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a leader he did not choose. Throughout his bloodstained rise to and consolidation of power, MBS, as the crown prince is generally known, placed his hopes in President Trump and Jared Kushner. Trump and Kushner, almost from the very beginning of the Trump administration, signaled that Saudi Arabia would be given extra special treatment. “We put our man on top,” Trump reportedly bragged when Mohammed bin Salman became crown prince after wrenching power from his older cousin in 2017. Saudi Arabia was the first country that the then-freshly elected and notoriously travel-averse Trump flew to early in 2017, to an extravagant fete put on by the regime, which is said to have spent as much as $68 million on the summit. MBS would go on to say, “Trump was the right person at the right time” for Saudi Arabia. The Saudi and Emirati governments reportedly offered the Trump campaign help to win the 2016 election, according to the New York Times. In 2018, MBS reportedly bragged that he had Kushner “in his pocket,” according to the Intercept. While Trump has been in office, Saudi Arabia has arrested influential personalities and activists, including women’s rights advocates. It also tried to pursue an impulsive war against Qatar, and imposed a blockade on the country. Kushner reportedly gave advice to Mohammed bin Salman on how to weather the storm after Jamal’s gruesome murder, and Trump later bragged to Bob Woodward about shielding MBS from congressional scrutiny.

Jamal’s assassination was personal and devastating. But the entire country of Yemen has been bludgeoned by Saudi Arabia and its partners in the gulf coalition that has orchestrated airstrikes against it since 2015. The United States has been one of the main suppliers of bombs to the Saudis in a quagmire of a blood-soaked and unwinnable war; some 13,500 Yemeni civilians have died from targeted attacks. Even after Jamal’s murder, when mounting political pressure was aimed at the United States to stop arming the Saudis, the Trump administration not only refused to budge but also Trump himself used the arms deals and the price of oil as a reason to justify continuing to engage with the Saudis. The situation is so bad that U.S. officials are reportedly now worried that they could face prosecution for war crimes for continuing to sell arms to the Saudis despite the mounting body count. But Trump is not the only enabler of Saudi Arabia. The focus on Trump, ironically, seems to glide over the fact that the Group of 20 countries have largely gone on with business as usual with Saudi Arabia. And as long as the international community continues to turn a blind eye to Saudi Arabia’s worst impulses, the so-called guardians of the liberal world order have blood on their hands, too.

Ethiopia claims ‘liberation’ of west Tigray, humanitarian crisis looms (Reuters) Ethiopia’s military has defeated local forces in the west of Tigray state, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Thursday, accusing his foes of atrocities during a week of fighting that threatens to destabilise the Horn of Africa. Air strikes and ground combat have killed hundreds, sent refugees flooding into Sudan, stirred Ethiopia’s ethnic divisions and raised questions over the credentials of Abiy, Africa’s youngest leader who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. With communications down, transport blocked and media barred, independent verification of the status of the conflict was impossible. There was no immediate response from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which rules the mountainous northern state of more than 5 million people. More than 10,000 Ethiopian refugees have crossed into Sudan since fighting started and aid agencies say the situation in Tigray is becoming dire. Even before the conflict, 600,000 people there were reliant on food aid. The United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said aid agencies were unable to restock food, health and other emergency supplies due to lack of access.

A Complete Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy

Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy

Venice has a lot to do and covering all of them can be a bit tedious. Where is a better place to find peace than the beach? This phrase was never a winner, and the best beaches in Venice are usually quiet and always beautiful. Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy.Open your mind if you decide to add the best beaches of Venice to your list of must-see attractions in this beautiful Italian city. Most of them are quiet sanctuaries of extraordinary beauty, often inaccessible. Sure, there are some sandy beaches around Lido (of course, on the list of things to do in Venice), but many destinations are raw, with large barrier rocks and stunning native lagoon vegetation. Is changing endlessly. Relax with a chair or umbrella. Venice Beach Italy Travel Guide | Guide to Venice Beaches, ItalyNevertheless, these beaches are still very clean and definitely not crowded. They are one of the best beaches in Northern Italy. We will help you find the best beaches near Venice. It’s easier than I expected. So, if you like beaches, read on … All the beaches mentioned here are what I call the beaches of Venice-very close and a great day trip. # 1 Venice Arido Beach on Lido de Venezia Barrier Island  The main beach of Venice in Italy is officially known as Lido de Venezia, but it is also sometimes called Lido Venezia, Lido Beach, or simply “Lido”. When you reach the main Lido S.M.E., you will arrive at the nearest beach in about 10 minutes on foot. Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy

Lido

Venice Lido Beach is the closest beach to the city of Venice in Italy. Getting there is easy, you can rent a few umbrellas or bring a beach towel to relax in the sun. It is often simply called “Lido”. A 7-mile barrier island in the Venice Lagoon that protects Venice. About 20,000 inhabitants live here, most of them working in Venice. Once a mere natural barrier, it is now a beach along the coast of Venice. Developed as a seaside resort in the early 20th century, it has been a popular beach in Venice ever since. Oh, and don’t forget that they host the Lido Film Festival.

Malamocco

Malamocco in Lido de Venice is the closest town to the south, where the old extant city center is located. It is the second largest city in Lido de Venice. It is a quiet village with some nice big squares. There’s not much to do here, but it’s worth a visit to the church of Santa Maria Asunta in the 15th century.

Alberoni | Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy

In Lido de Venezia, the last Lido beach to the south is Alberoni Beach. Lido de Venice has several beaches, but this is a good choice as it is completely free access and well maintained. To be honest, it doesn’t look like a “hotel zone” with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beaches of Venice. It is a beautiful beach in northern Italy and has a more natural atmosphere as it is located in a nature reserve. You really feel like you are in a world away from the hustle and bustle of Venetian tourists!naturalists enjoy all that complete tranquility! Bring or rent a bike to explore this beachfront area of ​​Venice. A golf course, Circolo Golf Venezia, is also nearby. The sunsets in Venice here are as good as the sunsets in Italy. Great for day trips!# 2 CavallinoCavallino Beach is probably my second favorite beach. Known for its white sands and calm, clear waters. This fluffy white thing is lined up in Cavallino for more than 15km. It is also a nature reserve. Cavalino is also said to be a camper paradise. The small villages of Treporti and Ca`vio in the area have well-equipped campgrounds with bars, restaurants, and shops. Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy.Here you can find the rich ancient history of fishing done according to the ancient Venetian method. Trammelnet is one of the ancient Venetian methods introduced in this Venetian beach guide. “This technique is called’Cerasia'(closed cage) and consists of placing stanchions every meter across a net in the shallow waters of the lagoon. This causes fish, crabs, and eels to get caught in the “kogori” (accordion-type net). The net should be designed to allow fish to catch in both directions when leaving the lagoon at high tide. – Giuseppe Rossi, or Burano’s “Bepi Suste”, who everyone calls him, says.# 3 Lido di JesoloThe most popular beach for children in Venice is Lidodie Solo. You might wonder why? The main reason is that it has a lot of nightlife and is very popular with party attendees in 20 – 40. They even call it a “party town” or where it should be. The bar stays open from late to early hours and the price tends to be in your favor. So a better drink! It is close to Venice and easy to reach. However, keep in mind that the beaches here can be crowded. Especially during the summer, traffic for all cars is a big problem. Nevertheless, if you are looking for the best beaches near Venice, Italy, it’s a great option! Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy.Lido di Venezolo is undoubtedly a popular beach near Venice, Italy. So plan to spend your day on the beach. The 10-mile sandy beach features a lifeguard, a snack bar serving alcohol, and a beachside toilet. There are also affordable Pedro and Stand Up Paddle Board rentals that are easily found at Lidodie Solo Beach. So stay for a while Also, Italy’s premier water theme park, Caribbean Bay, is located in Lidodie Solo.# 4 Caorle-Go to the beaches of North VeniceHead north from Lido Devenzia to the town of Caorle. The main tourist attraction of the city of Caorle is the long sandy beaches they have. These beaches are divided into east and west. They are over 9 miles long. It offers both private and free beaches. Here you can swim, sunbathe and relax. However, there is also a bicycle path, and the city itself is rich in history.Caorle has two major beaches, Spiaggia di Levante to the east and Spiaggia di Ponte to the west. Both have endless soft white sands and wonderful warm waters, famous in the Mediterranean. We recommend staying at Hotel Astoria as the beach on the east side faces the beach. Popular with local families, Hotel Antonella is just a short walk from the beach. Guide to Venice Beaches, Italy.
