Abducted by Israel and Abandoned by Lebanon, Lebanese Fishermen Fear the Sea
In southern Lebanon, legacy fishermen are losing their livelihoods amid repeated Israeli abductions and attacks. The Lebanese state is doing little to help.

dropsitenews.com/p/lebanese-fi…

These fears aren’t new. During Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon from 1978 until 2000, fishermen were routinely harassed. Occupation soldiers frequently invaded Lebanese waters and terrorized fishermen, destroying their nets, detaining them, and humiliating them with strip searches.

“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”

Occupying Gaza isn't just abhorrent because it will inevitably lead to the continuation of the genocide.

It's also plain stupid: in 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza not as a goodwill gesture or for peace, as bad faith historians may claim, but because occupying the strip was financially unsustainable and a security nightmare for the occupying forces. There is 0 reason to assume a new Israeli occupation of Gaza would be different this time.

Neu: In WDR 5 sprach ich mit Journalistin Anja Backhaus über die aktuelle Veränderung in der deutschen Nahost-Berichterstattung. Und darüber, wie die Instrumentalisierung von Bildern, ein gruppenbezogener Generalverdacht und fehlende völkerrechtliche Verankerung aktiv mediale Verzerrungen erzeugen.

Wenn eine über jeden Zweifel erhabene Wissenschaftlerin in Würde erklärt, dass sie für das Amt der Verfassungsrichterin nicht mehr zur Verfügung steht, dann ist das etwas anderes als „Brosius-Gersdorf wirft hin“, liebe Nachrichtensender.

Bei „wirft hin“ sehe ich ein wütendes Kind oder eine beleidigte Leberwurst vor mir, keine stolze, verantwortungsvolle Frau, der sehr übel mitgespielt wurde - was sie glücklicherweise auch klar benennt.

We used to joke that every incoming Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge gets to force one government U-turn by threatening to pull the university out of undergraduate education and go postgrad-and-research-only. It may be time for Prof. Prentice to shoot her shot.

(Or for universities to cut their losses, and pivot away from teaching and research altogether to focus on lobbying and consultancy.)

What Makes a Great Restaurant Website? Design Tips That Work


Your restaurant's website is often the first interaction a customer has with your brand, and it can decide whether they choose to dine with you. It's more than a digital presence — it's a tool to attract and convert visitors.

Your restaurant's website is often the first interaction a customer has with your brand, and it can decide whether they choose to dine with you. It's more than a digital presence — it's a tool to attract and convert visitors. A skilled website designer or web design agency can craft a site that's both visually appealing and highly functional, ensuring it drives business to your door.

Show the food, not just the logo


Customers visit your site to see what's on the menu, not to browse generic images or logos. High-quality, authentic photos of your dishes are critical. A website designer can optimize these images to load quickly while showcasing your food in an appetizing way, giving customers a clear idea of what to expect.

Make the menu easy to read


A menu buried in a PDF or scattered across multiple pages frustrates users, especially on mobile. A clean, scrollable menu integrated into the site is the best solution. A web design agency can create a system that lets you update items or prices easily, keeping your menu current without needing technical expertise. PDFs are fine for printing, but they shouldn't be the only option.

Make contact and booking effortless


Too many restaurant websites hide contact details or use broken booking systems. Your phone number should be prominent on every page, your address should link to a map, and any booking option must work seamlessly on mobile. A website designer ensures these features are intuitive and always accessible, making it easy for customers to connect.

Keep it mobile-first


Most visitors browse your site on their phones, often while on the move. A mobile-first design prioritizes small screens with simple navigation and tappable buttons. A web design agency tests your site across devices to ensure it's fast and user-friendly, capturing those spur-of-the-moment diners.

Tell your story in a few words


A brief story about what makes your restaurant unique — like your local ingredients or family recipes — builds a connection. Keep it short and place it where it enhances the experience without overshadowing key features. A website designer can weave this narrative into the design seamlessly.

Don't ignore speed


A slow website drives customers away before they see your menu. Optimized images, reliable hosting, and clean code are essential for speed. A web design agency handles these technical details, ensuring your site loads quickly and keeps visitors engaged.

Keep it updated


An outdated site with old menus or promotions signals neglect. A website designer can include tools for easy updates, allowing you to keep content fresh without hassle. This reassures customers your restaurant is active and welcoming.

Make it easy to order online


If you offer delivery or pickup, the ordering process should be clear and mobile-friendly. Whether using a third-party platform or a custom system, it needs to be intuitive. A website designer ensures ordering feels like a natural part of your site's experience.

Use design that matches your brand


Your website should reflect your restaurant's personality, whether it's a cozy bistro or a modern gastropub. A web design agency crafts colors, fonts, and layouts to match your vibe, creating a digital space that feels like your dining room.

Focus on the basics first


Avoid flashy extras like animations until the essentials — menu, photos, contact info, and speed — are perfect. A website designer prioritizes these core elements to ensure your site drives business effectively.

The takeaway


A great restaurant website is clear, fast, and customer-focused, showcasing your food and simplifying connections. Partnering with a Singapore website designer or web design agency ensures your site is as inviting as your restaurant, turning online visitors into loyal diners.

It's an indisputable fact that if you put an offer on the table to first fully implement already existing ICJ rulings and UN resolutions as a baseline, and then negotiate on the open questions that remain, Palestinians, including their ‘extremists', would agree without hesitation, and Israel would categorically refuse, including its 'liberal' political wing.

That asymmetry alone tells you absolutely everything there is to know about which side is to blame for the absence of a negotiated solution by now.

Fuck AI, fuck silicon valley fascist tech bros, death to the IDF, free Palestine

This image by AFP photojournalist Omar al-Qattaa shows a skeletal, underfed girl in Gaza, where Israel's blockade has fuelled fears of mass famine in the Palestinian territory.

But when social media users asked Grok where it came from, X boss Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot was certain that the photograph was taken in Yemen nearly seven years ago.

The AI bot's untrue response was widely shared online and a left-wing pro-Palestinian French lawmaker, Aymeric Caron, was accused of peddling disinformation on the Israel-Hamas war for posting the photo.

我服了

看样子大家都怎么了解社保

一个两个说自己要交好几千

我一看,把公司缴纳部分也算进自己口袋了

我就突然想起那天我怼我朋友

我朋友老婆注册了一家贸易公司

他抱怨说他年限缴足了,不想缴了。如果能不缴,把这部分钱都给他,多好

我说:你老婆也刚注册新企业,你觉得不给员工缴纳社保,就会把企业承担的部分也一并给到你企业员工了吗?

我朋友:哦

呵呵

🎭 Art as scenography can serve as a powerful tool to shape public perception—whether through exhibitions or captivating posts. In the realm of psychology, understanding how external stimuli influence our thoughts and feelings helps us see the subtle ways NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) might manipulate others' perceptions. Awareness is key—recognizing these "hypnotic" influences helps us regain control over our own outlook and boundaries. ✨ #Psychology #NPD #Awareness #MentalHealth

This is how we win.


BTW we took my nieces to see a live performance of Les Miserables back in May.

They absolutely loved it.

Going to look for tickets to an orchestral performance for October or November. Maybe a ballet.

I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I look forward to hosting the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, at the White House tomorrow for a Historic Peace Summit. These two Nations have been at War for many years, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to “TRUMP.” My Administration has been engaged with both sides for quite some time. Tomorrow, President Aliyev AND Prime Minister Pashinyan will join me at the White House for an official Peace Signing Ceremony. The United States will also sign Bilateral Agreements with both Countries to pursue Economic opportunities together, so we can fully unlock the potential of the South Caucasus Region. I am very proud of these courageous Leaders for doing the right thing for the Great People of Armenia and Azerbaijan. It will be a Historic Day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and, THE WORLD. See you then! DJT
