##PHOTO: Armenia-Cyprus Friendship Park inaugurated in Nicosia

Speaker of the House of Rep. Annita Demetriou opened the statue symbolizing the friendship. Members of the Armenian community, ambassador, and Cypriot officials were present.

MFA Mirzoyan sent a note of gratitude and commented on the Cyprus issue: "Armenia's support for Cyprus has remained clear and never had any ambiguity. I hope that negotiations will resume in the near future and we will witness the reunification of the island. I highly value the immense efforts by the government of Cyprus in the efforts to recognize the Armenian Genocide."

##CIS republics held a meeting

Russia's Premier: our economies are gradually recovering. In 1H2021, the mutual trade increased by 27%, external trade by 25%. //

Armenia's deputy Premier: many people lost their homes and civilian objects were destroyed because of the war launched by Azerbaijan. Despite the commitments made on Nov 9, Azerbaijan continues to torpedo the implementation of the agreement. There are still many POWs. It is a direct violation of the Nov 9 statement and international law. Azerbaijan also distorts the provisions of the Jan 11 statement by exaggerating the "corridor" idea. //

I’m Tom, Mark’s friend, and people say I’m stupid.

I'm not.

Yesterday, Mark and I tried to ‘borrow’ an item from the Museum (if you know what I mean), but the case wouldn’t budge. I didn’t think it could withstand the mighty slam of my mallet, the Sledge of Athskeleng.

This is what happened.

The alarms go off, po-pos swarm the museum, but they mistake us for visitors, and chase the other guys instead (there were the other guys trying to rob the museum at the same time as us, but that's a different story). We sneak out and jump into my Dodge. But then, a street later, I don’t see the red light and Mark panics because he sees a po-po looking away, and I am all like ‘Shit, this can’t be, he recognizes us!’. I push Mark out of the car and hit the gas pedal. Engine roars, tires screech, smoke rises like in the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie. It’s glorious. Except, Mark is still hanging from the car, coz dimwit got himself wrapped in the seat belt. He is screaming and po-po notices that. Po-po turns and looks right at me, into my eyeball, fucking lazers shooting from his Aviators. And he is yelling ‘stop’ but I’m not listening, I know better. I flip the bird at him and just blast down the main street into the freedom! ‘I’ll be back’, I yell to Mark, who manages to get himself unwrapped in the meantime. I will be back, slammer is no place for friends.

I leave the city, destination unknown. I flick the switch and the radio turns on. Usually, I don't listen to the radio, but I think it's NPR because some old-folks song is playing. The song is called Hostel California or something. The lyrics is stupid, I’m not paying attention.

I’m on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air. And then up ahead in the distance, I see a shimmering light. My head grows heavy and my sight grows dim. I have to stop for the night.

I park in front of a white three-storey brick and mortar building dotted with pink, red and white Christmas lights. On top, there is a big, no, fucking HUGE, purple neon sign shaped like a dildo reading “Larry Lamb’s Petting Zoo”. Some would call this place a whore house. To me, it’s a tourist attraction.

There is a guy in the car, parked next to me, gesturing 'lower your window'. He is white, like a ghost. As if he died in 2016 or something.

“Don’t go in there,” he huffs, ominously.

“Who to fuck are you?” I question, curiously.

“Glenn, Glenn Frey,” he proclaims, certainly.

“I’m Bond, James Bond. So g

I have been looking at the stats rolling out of the Coronavirus sites and wondering should we consider similar summaries for Climate Change.

So we create a list of all countries and then itemise and categorise all the expected impacts and when expected will happen to the decade at least. General global predictions dont seem to be working at creating the desired effect of action. If we can find some way of personalising the impacts to countries, maybe enough people take notice and act.

Keep these very brief and to the point, like the Corona Virus stats.

Thoughts?

By right wing I mean what the establishment calls far right not center right or liberals. These are polling data for upcoming elections in these countries, both national and EU parliament.

Countries with negligible to no support for right wing parties:

1. Romania
2. Bulgaria
3. Croatia
4. Norway
5. Portugal
6. Lithuania
7. Wallonia
8. Brussels

Analysis:

The heart of ring wing populist support is in the former communist countries encompassing Eastern Europe were the liberal, globalist ethos hasn't been so ingrained into the popular psyche. There are few exceptions to this like Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Croatia. Unsurprisingly these countries have little to no non European migration or any immigration for that matter.

Southern Europe has seen a populist surge in the last 4 years, the league in Italy went from 4% in 2013 to now enjoying 31% of the support. The migrant crisis has crushed the left and completely obliterated the establishment right. Salvini having taken control of Italy has eclipsed his five star allies and has become the de facto ruler of Italy.

Spain had no right wing populists for nearly 40 years but the recent arrival of African migrants and a

Hey guys, I don't live in any of the listed compatible countries but I have someone receiving my Stadia for me in the US. I probably won't be getting my code until 3 or 4 days so I was wondering if anybody in my same situation that gets their code today would be able to confirm if those of us outside the available countries list will be able to use our Stadia accounts to play or will we just be outright blocked. Thanks is advanced.
