![[FO4] Issues with graphical glitches and weird texture stretching](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/BhefX7J2GqRdTL7DgoXgmsyHSpvNDBV-ZD-AtOz3KuE.jpg "[FO4] Issues with graphical glitches and weird texture stretching") | submitted by brokensaint82 to FalloutMods [link] [comments] Weird black boxes and texture stretching Just black void As you can see in the pictures I get these black boxes either going through houses and such, as well as taking the screen over eventually. This is on a fresh install of the game with the updates installed. Is this just an issue with the latest updates borking my game and I should wait until F4SE and others are up to date or are there conflicting mods that are causing this?

SAMVEL BABAYAN (ex-MOD of Nagorno-Karabakh): Armenia must make a strategic choice with its vector. The West wants to take the Turkey-Caucasus-Central Asia logistics and economic zone away from Russia. We must develop the alternative option: the Iran-Armenia-Georgia-Russia link. Which option should we choose? The government and ruling party must resign and announce snap elections to allow the public to choose. Today they say "West", but what exactly does West mean? It means logistics and economic integration of Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia. If you choose the West's option, you have to decide how to resolve the Azerbaijan-Nakhijevan transit issue, with Kaliningrad or other methods. As for the AM-AZ border demarcation, [Babayan opposes the 1991 Almaty borders] it must be based on the 1925/26 maps that show the size of Armenia when it joined the USSR - 30,948 km2. //
PETROS GHAZARYAN (H1 host): One of the protest speakers claimed that refugee children from Nagorno-Karabakh are being discriminated against in schools and being seated separately and humiliated. Obviously, no evidence was presented by the speaker. Let's set aside the fact that the state rapidly addressed the refugees' educational needs. It is disgusting propaganda to claim Armenian teachers discriminate against Artsakhtsi children. The goal is to stoke divisions and to promote Azerbaijan's narrative.

The army demined parts of the border near Voskepar despite obstruction attempts by a group of local protesters and opposition party figures. Later that evening the army carried out some controlled explosions but didn't reveal details.
Opposition politicians from the "Hayakve" movement shut down the road leading to the Bagratashen border checkpoint with Georgia. "Come join us in Tavush. Bavra is currently closed. If you live in Shirak, go join them in Bavra. Take to the streets of Yerevan," said Avetik Chalabyan, who was banned in December by the court from organizing or participating in rallies for the next 2.5 years after being found guilty of participating in a campaign to bribe university students to join anti-Pashinyan rallies.
JOURNALIST: "Nikol Pashinyan is demining your homeland to surrender it to Azerbaijan."
ONIK GASPARYAN (ex-CoGS): That's bad.
JOURNALIST: Will you fight against this?
ONIK GASPARYAN: Yes.
JOURNALIST: Why don't you go there and join the protesters, Mr. Gasparyan?
(Wartime army leader Onik Gasparyan is in Yerevan. He was invited to court to testify as part of a criminal investigation against another army official regarding a group of Ejmiatsin soldiers not returning from the frontline during the 2020 war. In that episode, the commanders sent a group of 62 soldiers to Zangelan after Azeris had already taken up positions. Only 22 returned home.)
ASHOT GHULYAN (opposition politician from Nagorno-Karabakh): We should not give up anything. This territory resembles Karabakh with its characteristics and natures. This is part of our wonderful highland. The complaints raised by local residents are a result of decisions being made behind closed doors. Is it possible to prevent this? Yes, but the opposition forces must pressure the government. //
CHAKHOYAN (Pashinyan's office): Those who are currently fighting against our efforts to have a delimited state border in Tavush must explain which one of these villages is their "homeland": Kherimli or Kizil-Hajil? Or herpahs Aşağı Əskipara? How many of the delimitation opponents will fight for those Azerbaijani settlements and have a major war for settlements that have never been part of Armenia? None of the hired preachers will bear the consequences of that war, but the local residents and our conscripts will. They want to incite a major war so they can turn Armenia into a remote province and serve parts of Armenia to Azerbaijan just as they did with Karabakh. Enough with falling for the false promises of these "saviors". None of them will save you, just as they didn't save Karabakh.

ALEXANYAN (ruling MP): The majority of people closing the roads do not appear to be residents of Tavush villages. There were groups from Yerevan and other parts of the country. This is a campaign to provoke the residents and spread disinformation. At first, these forces went to Voskepar to "defend it". Then they realized Voskepar didn't need to be defended by them because the delimitation agreement didn't touch it. So they moved to the Voskepar road instead, before realizing that the Friday agreement keeps the road under Armenian control. So they were forced to move to Kirants, near the small area of the road that needs to be replaced. They deployed desant from Yerevan to Kirants, but their initial destination was Voskepar. It's a fantastical chain of development. Deputy PM Mher Grigoryan is currently meeting the representatives of border villages to discuss the delimitation details and I believe he will address the manipulations used by those who constantly preach fear. //

SARGSYAN: My preliminary observation is that there is significant positive progress here. (1) Border issues are being resolved peacefully, (2) the 1991 Almaty is being used as the principle. This is a complex issue so people interpret it differently when they are emotional. I'm confident that over time they will come to appreciate the agreement. The problem with this agreement is that the EU was not a party, it's bilateral, but here we must remember that both states must agree before involving a third party. Anthony Blinken called Aliyev on April 3 and made him reaffirm his commitment to 1991 Almaty, which was initially discussed in Prague. Armenia was able to move the topic [of the 2.5 Azeri villages] from a battlefield to the negotiation table.

PASHINYAN: Russia is not our neighbor, although they have a significant presence in the region. As for our "pivot to the West", in reality, we have never been away from the West. The CEPA was signed with the EU before 2018. It became my administration's task to implement its terms. We must diversify Armenia's foreign policy and defense. This is a "result" of something, not a "cause". Many other countries are diversifying their relations today, even countries that believed they were diversified enough prior to 2022.
Today Armenia is ready to be as close to the EU as the EU deems it possible. It appears this is the path we are going through, and this is a transparent process. False claims were made about supposed secret agreements during our April 5 meeting in Brussels. We do everything transparently. We do see a certain degree of deepening of AM-EU relations but this is not something new, this is the continuation of the policy Armenia adopted earlier [with CEPA].
REPORTER: Regarding the international community's support for Armenia and the influence that various countries have on Azerbaijan. The British Petroleum delivered $35 billion worth of oil and gas from Azerbaijan over the last 4 years. This is multiple times larger than Azerbaijan's military budget. The UK has leverage on Azerbaijan through BP. Do you believe the UK government should use that?
PASHINYAN: I don't want to comment on the British business investments in Azerbaijan but any investor should want a stable environment in the region.
REPORTER: Azerbaijan is receiving large quantities of weapons from Russia, Turkey, and Israel. I know that Armenia has received some weapons from India and France. Should more countries intervene to allow Armenia to have the ability to defend itself?
PASHINYAN: There is a significant disbalance in military expenditures of Armenia and Azerbaijan, and we buy 20% of what they buy. Azerbaijan should not use aggressive rhetoric towards our efforts to reform and strengthen our army. Everyone knows our acquisitions are defense-oriented. Having a strong Armenian army will contribute to peace by balancing the forces.
REPORTER: The CSTO did not help Armenia. Will you revoke your membership and will you remove the 102nd Russian military base?
PASHINYAN: A fundamental issue arose with CSTO. Armenia and Azerbaijan already have internationally recognized borders; the USSR administrative borders became the state borders. That is the area of responsibility of CSTO. This recognized border was violated, yet CSTO did not provide help under the excuse that the borders weren't delimited. A similar statement came from Russia [Lavrov]. Our colleagues also didn't explain whether CSTO has a zone of responsibility even if the border isn't delimited. That border exists and everyone knows where it is, but our colleagues essentially claim CSTO has no zone of responsibility in Armenia. This is the same as saying CSTO does not exist.
The Russia-Japan border also has not been delimited. If Japanese forces enter the territory of Russia through a non-delimited border, should the CSTO respond? There is no CSTO mechanism that its members can rely on if it doesn't recognize borders. So if Armenia relies on an organization that is fundamentally unreliable, the Armenian society wants to know why we should maintain our membership in it, and honestly, I don't have an answer for them.
REPORTER: Are Azerbaijan and Russia willing to normalize relations with Armenia, or is this a ploy to build a ground for more aggression?
PASHINYAN: When I told you earlier that everyone is diversifying their foreign relations, the same is true about Russia, and Russia began this process before we did. That's what created this issue with CSTO. Even before the 2020 war, Russia had a policy of equality between Armenia and Azerbaijan despite only one of us being a CSTO member. The process to diversify foreign vector kickstarted from Russia. This started in 2012-2013. Prior to that, Russia perceived Armenia as its ally and Azerbaijan as a partner.
After 2013, Russia signed contracts to deliver several billion dollars in weapons to Azerbaijan [pasib Vladimrich]. This is when Russia began to diversify its foreign relations, and on February 22, 2022, Russia and Azerbaijan signed an agreement on a strategic alliance. In that agreement, they formulated the need to coordinate their policies. They cooperate in defense, policy, etc. This was after CSTO refused to help Armenia twice, despite its contractual obligations.
Our Russian colleagues say they offered to send CSTO peacekeepers to Armenia but we rejected it. Excuse me, but their statement destroys the functionality of CSTO. The CSTO was supposed to enter Armenia as an "ally" to help us, not as a peacekeeper or peacemaker.
Armenia didn't do anything to CSTO, the CSTO did this to itself. We have practically frozen our participation in CSTO. We have not yet crossed the turning point, but if these statements continue to come [from CSTO and Lavrov], then the line will be crossed, and at a minimum, the unfreezing of our participation will become practically impossible.
REPORTER: Is the return of Nagorno-Karabakh refugees part of the comprehensive resolution with Azerbaijan?
PASHINYAN: If there is no realistic opportunity or a desire for our forcefully displaced brothers and sisters to return, then we will do everything possible to create the conditions for them to stay in Armenia. During my recent trip to a province, a woman from Nagorno-Karabakh approached and asked me about the likelihood of their return, and she asked me to be frank. I told her that under the existing conditions in the region, under the existing perceptions in Azerbaijan, and under the existing perceptions among the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, it wouldn't be realistic to return. If there was a realistic path for return, there would be no forced exodus in the first place.
During the final days, some figures in the Nagorno-Karabakh government were accusing my administration of preventing the Nagorno-Karabakh population from moving to Armenia. In reality, we were trying everything possible to create the conditions to prevent the forced exodus and ethnic cleansing. There were also forces that were attempting to drag Armenia into a major war, with far-reaching intentions. Armenia does not plan to start a war to capture Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia has no claims beyond its internationally recognized 29,743 km 2 borders. We hope Armenia's territorial integrity will be restored through the delimitation process.
The latest agreement proves our honesty towards this process. The Armenian government is taking steps to allow Azeris to live in the 4 Azerbaijani villages [near Tavush]. We expect the same process to allow nearby Armenians to also be able to live without security fears. In this instance, we are resolving a local issue, but how well this agreement is implemented on the ground will decide the level of trust towards the delimitation process and peace as a whole. I'm confident that the implementation will increase trust in the peace process.
I'd like to thank the Armenian and Azeri delimitation commission Chairs Mher Grigoryan and Shahin Mustafayev. They are building that trust one molecule at a time, which can develop into something big if we cherish it. //

AYVAZYAN: I assume the PM will visit Moscow soon and let's see if it changes the rhetoric. What would come next after the withdrawal of the Russian military base?

We appreciate each mission's willingness to contribute to Armenia's stability but we also understand that they will not be a restraining force in the event of real aggression, and this is something that the mission itself says. We should not have illusions, and it's been said publicly, that representatives of friendly states will come to Armenia. The geopolitical agenda is to establish Turkish-Azerbaijani dominance in our region, which is unacceptable for Armenians. //

border delimitation context in Saturday news briefing
source,a group of Tavush residents and opposition politicians organized protests and shut down the road
Several members of a Yerevan-based paramilitary group were arrested after a physical incident with police and a resident of a border village Ayrum, a local Yerkrapah border guard, who attempted to drive his border guard vehicle through the activists who were blocking the road. One of the paramilitary members was seen jumping on the car before assaulting others. The incident happened near the border with Georgia, tens of kilometers away from Voskepar.The army demined parts of the border near Voskepar despite obstruction attempts by a group of local protesters and opposition party figures. Later that evening the army carried out some controlled explosions but didn't reveal details.
Opposition politicians from the "Hayakve" movement shut down the road leading to the Bagratashen border checkpoint with Georgia. "Come join us in Tavush. Bavra is currently closed. If you live in Shirak, go join them in Bavra. Take to the streets of Yerevan," said Avetik Chalabyan, who was banned in December by the court from organizing or participating in rallies for the next 2.5 years after being found guilty of participating in a campaign to bribe university students to join anti-Pashinyan rallies.
ONIK GASPARYAN (ex-CoGS): That's bad.
JOURNALIST: Will you fight against this?
ONIK GASPARYAN: Yes.
JOURNALIST: Why don't you go there and join the protesters, Mr. Gasparyan?
(Wartime army leader Onik Gasparyan is in Yerevan. He was invited to court to testify as part of a criminal investigation against another army official regarding a group of Ejmiatsin soldiers not returning from the frontline during the 2020 war. In that episode, the commanders sent a group of 62 soldiers to Zangelan after Azeris had already taken up positions. Only 22 returned home.)
CHAKHOYAN (Pashinyan's office): Those who are currently fighting against our efforts to have a delimited state border in Tavush must explain which one of these villages is their "homeland": Kherimli or Kizil-Hajil? Or herpahs Aşağı Əskipara? How many of the delimitation opponents will fight for those Azerbaijani settlements and have a major war for settlements that have never been part of Armenia? None of the hired preachers will bear the consequences of that war, but the local residents and our conscripts will. They want to incite a major war so they can turn Armenia into a remote province and serve parts of Armenia to Azerbaijan just as they did with Karabakh. Enough with falling for the false promises of these "saviors". None of them will save you, just as they didn't save Karabakh.

2024.03.30 10:48 Dorfplatzner Timeline of Human Extinction
1973: Beginning of the Third World War after the escalation of the Fourth Balkan War; fighting begins between the Russian Empire and the Republic of Turkey and its allies in the Atlantic Treaty Organization.
1974: Fighting in the European theatre grinds to a standstill, with the ATO utilising defence in depth to grind down the Russian advance
1975: War in the Pacific between the ATO and the Republic of China; first supercarriers see action in conventional warfare. Outer space becomes contested between the Russians, Europeans, Chinese and the Americans in what was known as the 'Star Wars'.
1976: Russian offensive pushed back, Imperial Russian Army suffers 1,5 mil casualties. First use of nuclear weaponry in warfare, with hydrogen bombs dropped over the border with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. ATO counterattack with tactical nuclear strikes against oil refineries in Baku and critical junctions of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
1977: Russians pushed back to home territory. Fighting devolves into trench warfare. Counterattack stalls Turkish counteroffensive into the Caucasus. The navies of China, the US and the UK suffer massive losses in the Pacific, along with the Russian fleet which sortied out of Vladivostok. Nuclear weaponry used against warships.
1978: With the war having turned into a stalemate, as well as increasingly-strained logistics and anti-war protests, both sides in the conflict begin negotiating peace. Peace talks break down, Russia and China initiate Operation Smiling Sun which causes a runaway Kessler effect after nuclear bombs and conventional warheads containing small-to-microscopic ballistics are detonated in space.
1979: A breakthrough in White Russia allows ATO forces to make a dart for Moscow. The Russian government, having foreseen the inevitable, relocates the capital to Omsk as was planned to be done in case of desperate wartime situation. Russia launches its entire nuclear arsenal against the countries of the ATO, triggering Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) and a counter-strike from its counterparts' arsenals and submarines.
1980: It seems that both the ATO and Russia have weathered the hellfire thanks to advanced anti-ballistic missile defence systems. As for China, beachheads have been made into the country but ATO forces face a hard slog towards the Chinese capital and hinterlands. Russia issues an ultimatum to the ATO, demanding a white peace lest 'the human race face a pestilence never before seen in the world', to the consternation of the ATO and much of the world. ATO forces attempt to land in Sakhalin, Magadan, and Nikolayevsk-on-Amur to capitulate Russia as soon as possible but are humiliatingly repelled.
1981: Moscow has been seized. Russia is now at its breaking point, and a strategic bombing campaign is underway to undermine Russian and Chinese fighting capabilities. Although both sides are rebuilding their nuclear arsenals, they use them with more discretion. Worldwide satellite communications systems and such are out of order, setting back mankind's technological progress.
Late 1981: China capitulates after years of brutal stalemate and a ruined economy. Russia is about to be utterly debellated as the ATO closes in on Omsk, but it seems that the British activated the doomsday device prematurely as a heavy bomber carrying a 2 MT nuclear warhead crashes right into the location of the Russian government's bunker complex. Unfortunately for them, the warhead blew up for some reason, crippling the government, killing the Tsar, and setting into motion Protocol 3941-A.
Automated systems and sleeper agents began the distribution of weaponised prions around the world, as uncaptured Russian airbases/water facilities began aerosolising the prions and leaking it into surrounding rivers. Resistance fighters operating in European Russia spread the substance that was only known to them as a purposely-bred weaponised virus across the logistical hub of the ATO.
The prions were thrown into industrial farms, forests, and the wilderness by agents in Europe and North America, not knowing any better. There, they spread via birds, wild game, grass, animal feed, poultry and other livestock. With an incubation period of 1 week to a few months, transmissibility by all humans and almost all animal vectors from deer to carp, sufficient lethality to dement humans but not kill vectors too quickly, and survivability in all environments, they were guaranteed to cause immediate chaos and worldwide panic around the same time too many people had been infected.
1982: The Russian Empire has fallen, and so has much of the world. The chaos was quick: After the formal surrender of the Russian Empire to the Atlantic Treaty Organization, the prions' symptoms began appearing all throughout the world, overwhelming health infrastructure and world governments. By the time bans on meat and other animal flesh were enacted, over 500,000,000 people were in various stages of dementia, whilst 500,000 have died within the span of a month.
Heavily livestock-reliant countries such as the US, the UK, South Africa, China, and India were the first to suffer. Then came their neighbours and other poor countries, where bushmeat hunting and unsanitary practices are most prevalent. The symptoms began appearing in February. By July, over 1 billion were in various stages of dementia and over 2,000,000 have died.
Governments, economies and militaries worldwide would become severely paralysed (for some, virtually debellated) as politicians, economists, and men and women in key positions throughout society, the economy, the military, and the political system suffered from dementia, rendering them unable to more adequately respond to the problem at hand. With governments ceasing to function in months, anarchy and chaos reigned throughout the nation as sovereignty ceased to be enforceable.
1983: Over three billion are either in various stages of dementia or dead. For comparison, the world population in January 1982 was more than four billion. Those who survive have abstained from meat and other animal flesh to avoid contracting prion diseases. Only a few pockets of civilisation remain, as most of the world's knowledge is either rotting away in libraries and cities taken over by nature or were literally forgotten by those who once held them, who are now dying alone and helpless as their souls are mutilated and disfigured slowly until they inevitably die.

Only one country beat the S&P 500 and that was Denmark. Green means it beat the S&P 500 in that given year and red means it under-performed that year.

2024.03.25 13:31 WielderOfBass Rate my Keto Diet Plan
Looking for Advice or Critiques really, this is my first time on the diet, but I generally take my nutrition rather serious. After days of research this is what I came up with. There is no goal other than I'd like to see my abs one day. Generally speaking I try new diets for fun and Keto fascinates me. I live on a limited income, I am fully disabled, so this is as budget friendly as I can make it, still, pointers and critiques are welcome. I'm willing to redesign it, it's like a puzzle for me.

2024.03.20 18:49 tominator_44 F1 - Mega Drive review from Computer And Video Games UK Issue 141 - August 1993
 | submitted by tominator_44 to retrogamingmagazines [link] [comments] |
2024.03.02 00:49 ar_david_hh Government official reveals the reason why Russia hasn't helped Armenia since 2021 \\ Diversification of defense & economy; French ammo \\ EU candidacy & market \\ Russian agents in airport & Nerkin Hand \\ Antalya Summit in Turkey \\ Zelensky & POWs \\ Refugee housing \\ Lithium reserves \\ ...
11-minute read.
[Or perhaps because 4 days after that fawning speech, Azerbaijan invaded Armenia with Russia's silent permission, prompting Armenia to change its position? More on that below...]
source,
ARMEN: The need for diversification arose objectively because in 2021 we signed contracts with Russia to acquire weapons and reform our army but they didn't move forward. We had a comprehensive plan for army reforms with the help of Russia. Instead, Armenia was attacked in May and November and Russia did not deliver the weapons that we had already purchased from them. We had $250 million in contracts.
That's what prompted us to search for new partners. We ended up signing contracts with India and France.
96% of Armenia's defense cooperation was with Russia as of 2020. Starting in 2021 we signed contracts worth several billion dollars with multiple states, in which Russia's share is under 10%. This was a result of Russia's choice.
REPORTER: But Russia did sign contracts in 2021?
ARMEN: They did, but didn't deliver the products. Moreover, it wasn't because of the war in Ukraine. We signed the contracts a year before the war in Ukraine. They didn't deliver because that was their decision. We had to face the consequences of their decision, so we decided to diversify.
REPORTER: Our economy and exports continue to heavily rely on Russia.
ARMEN: We are taking steps to diversify export markets. We are cooperating with the EU to bring our standards to a level that will allow us to become competitive in the European market.
REPORTER: But what about the diversification of gas, fuel, and nuclear sources?
ARMEN: We are working on every one of those directions. We don't have significant results because it's not like we have many choices for gas imports at necessary volumes, but we are discussing all these issues with our colleagues.
REPORTER: Once again, are you saying that Armenia's pivot to the West and India was triggered by Russia's own actions or lack thereof?
ARMEN: Absolutely. Russia made us face reality by not delivering the weapons.
REPORTER: I do recall the 2021 agreements with Russia on army reforms and the famous dagger gifted by MOD Sergey Shoygu. It prompted a complaint by Azerbaijan. Did Russia explain why it refused to deliver?
ARMEN: Russia said they were concerned that the delivery of weapons to Armenia would prompt Armenia to adopt a tougher diplomatic stance.
REPORTER: Tougher stance during negotiations with Azerbaijan?
ARMEN: Including with Azerbaijan. Any country that's armed properly can resist and defend its interests.
REPORTER: Hold on. Russia said they wouldn't give us weapons and wouldn't help reform the army so that our diplomatic policies wouldn't toughen?
ARMEN: Yes.
[long silence]
REPORTER: May I ask who exactly said that?
ARMEN: I won't give a name but that was their official policy. Armenia's strategic mistake was relying solely on [Russia] for everything since 1991.
REPORTER: Russia says CSTO is ready to deploy its observers.
ARMEN: Deploy where?
REPORTER: Armenia.
ARMEN: They don't recognize Armenia's borders, unlike the EU and its observers.
REPORTER: The European Parliament mentioned the need to deploy EU observers on the Armenia-Turkey border.
ARMEN: We haven't held such discussions so far.
REPORTER: You said the EU observers have no access to Nerkin Hand because of Russian guards, but the NSS contradicted your statement.
ARMEN: I can confirm that the EU observers don't have access specifically in the area in Nerkin Hand toward the state border. We are going to address this issue.
REPORTER: Russia's foreign ministry accused you of manipulating the topic of Nerkin Hand protection. They said there are no Russian "soldiers" in Nerkin Hand, and that there are only border agents.
ARMEN: The Russian border agency's outpost in Nerkin Hand includes border "forces". These forces were deployed to help ensure security. Perhaps Russia no longer finds the AM-RU agreement valid, but de jure Russia is a defense partner of Armenia. This AM-RU defense mechanism implemented in the 1990s hasn't worked one bit.
REPORTER: Russia accused the EU observers of "spying" on Russia and Iran.
ARMEN: I don't understand why Russia speaks about Iran while trying to address its own problems. First of all, there are no EU observers on our border with Iran, so I don't understand why Russia claims that. The observers are only deployed on the border with Azerbaijan and there are no discussions to expand it to other borders.
REPORTER: But how exactly could the EU observers "spy" on Russian guards? ["Spying" is an accusation used by Azerbaijan and Russia]
ARMEN: I don't know how they would "spy". Russia can make any accusation. Let them provide evidence and we'll discuss it.
REPORTER: The [pro-Russia] opposition mocks you for importing a couple of night-vision binoculars from France.
ARMEN: I'm surprised they say that. We are importing ammunition [զինամթերք] with modern technologies from France.
REPORTER: Is this something not mentioned in the recent public reports?
ARMEN: [blank face]
REPORTER: Is there an undisclosed agreement we don't know about?
ARMEN: In general, military-technical cooperation should not be discussed openly. It requires silent work.
source,
RULING MP: Yes. We are concerned about this just as the majority of the public. This issue is a topic of discussion within our party. If there is a decision you will know about it.
REPORTER: What are you discussing? Increasing their numbers, or decreasing?
RULING MP: The concern is not that there are too few of them, the concern is that their number is above zero.
REPORTER: You've been in charge for 6 years. Why did you only now become concerned about their presence?
RULING MP: A lot has changed throughout these 6 years. Every event must be followed by relevant decisions and judgments. Sadly we were too late in realizing that CSTO is dysfunctional. Today we are solving a problem instead of leaving it for future generations.
REPORTER: Is there a legal agreement that authorized the deployment of Russian agents at the airport?
RULING MP: We have an AM-RU agreement on border protection so whether the airport is considered a "border" envisaged under this agreement is something that needs to be clarified. In any case, the oversight of Armenia's air traffic hubs must be carried out by Armenian agencies.
REPORTER: Have you already discussed their removal with the Russian government?
RULING MP: Let's wrap this up for now.
source, source,
source,
RULING MP: In his famous speech at the European Parliament, Pashinyan very clearly stated that Armenia is ready to get as close to the EU as the EU allows us to. Yes, we are ready to upgrade our relations considering the need for new market opportunities, the civilizational path chosen by us, the political direction, the strengthening of democracy, and the fact that the EU observers play a very important role today in the protection of Armenia's borders.
This is why you've seen efforts lately to strengthen our ties with individual members of the EU [Hungary?]. Let's not forget that at least 2 of our 4 neighbors are EU candidates. This has physically moved the EU closer to Armenia. The EU also has one of the best economic integration models. //
source,
RULING MP: The party meets every Thursday to discuss various topics. We also discuss our cooperation with various political groups around the world with whom we share common values. It is not a secret that we want to cooperate with the European family, so it's natural to occasionally discuss this topic and possible cooperation.
REPORTER: Is there a possibility of your party joining them?
RULING MP: I won't rule that out. It's been around 5 years since we began participating in discussions held by European groups in PACE. Part of our PACE delegation, representing both ruling and opposition parties, is a member of the European People's Party (EPP). For example, ARF is a member of Socialists, LHK was part of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, and BHK had joined Conservatives. Our QP party's Thursday discussion was not something unprecedented, it was actually long overdue.

The Russian regulator also found high levels of antibiotics in canned meat imported from Belarusian "Belfood Production" firm. They were placed under a watch.
source,
Security is an area where we did not have extensive cooperation before, but now the EU observation mission will strengthen its monitoring and patrolling of Armenia’s state border.
REPORTER: Is this aimed at reducing Armenia's dependence on Russia?
AMBASSADOR: Armenian authorities have asked for diversification and increased security and economic opportunities. We are in the process of supporting Armenia's sovereignty, independence, and institutional capacities.
The EU-AM trade relations should be based on new unified quality standards. We are helping Armenia's private businesses with the EIP that launched in 2021. It has already mobilized over €550 million in investments which were directed to the private sector in Armenia. We are also working with Armenian banks to provide more liquidity, including to empower SMEs.

Armenian delegation said Armenia's Constitution is Armenia's internal business and not something Azerbaijan should be concerned about, reminding that one of the paragraphs of the peace treaty that's being drafted will state that the countries' internal laws cannot overwrite the peace treaty, "therefore Azerbaijan should not worry what Armenia's Constitution says".
The Armenian delegation said Azerbaijan is "not interested" in proceeding with the agreements reached earlier, and expressed hope that this will change.
In response to Azerbaijan's "concerns" about Armenia's acquisition of French and Indian weapons, the Armenian delegation said Armenia has the right to arm itself and reminded that Azerbaijan is doing the same.
Azerbaijan says they support signing a peace treaty without clarifying the border demarcation issue. Armenia, in contrast, says the peace treaty must mention the details and maps that will be used in the future for demarcating the borders. Both sides agree that the demarcation itself is going to take many years and will be done after the signing of the peace treaty, but Armenia wants the peace treaty to define the terms of the future demarcation.
ARMENIA: Words show the true motivation. We have presented the Crossroads of Peace because we want peace in the region. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, talks about a "corridor" through Armenia, which is a violation of our sovereignty. We have never agreed to any "corridor". All roads should open in the region without a violation of countries' sovereignty.
AZERBAIJAN: Let's not be pessimists. First of all, we already have peace with Armenia for 5 months with the exception of one incident. There are unwanted rumors that Azerbaijan supposedly wants territories of Armenia. This is not the case. The war is over because the occupation is over. We are focused on developing our state. We can connect Azerbaijan to Nakhijevan through Iran or through Armenia by implementing a combination of connectivity methods used around the world; we don't have to implement an exact copy of an internationally used model.
GEORGIA: Keep fighting while we enjoy the EU membership, morons.
TURKEY: We closed the border with Armenia in 1993. Recently we agreed to open it for citizens of 3rd countries and diplomatic envoys. In the future, we will expand it to include citizens of both states. We're ready to visit Yerevan next week, and the Armenian delegation is welcome to visit Ankara.
ARMENIA: We will discuss the possibility of organizing an AM-TR meeting in Yerevan next week.

Nikol Pashinyan - the biggest fanboy of Vladimir Putin asterisk
SHARMAZANOV (pro-Russia politician): Pashinyan spared no effort to appease and glorify Vladimir Putin in the period before the war in Ukraine. Even Russia's ruling party members weren't glorifying Putin that much. Do you remember Pashinyan's [September 8, 2022] speech in Vladivostok? He looked at Putin as the god Jupiter and praised his "ability to resolve issues promptly". But as soon as Russia suffered setbacks in Ukraine, Pashinyan changed his position. //[Or perhaps because 4 days after that fawning speech, Azerbaijan invaded Armenia with Russia's silent permission, prompting Armenia to change its position?

interview with Armen Grigoryan, the head of the National Security Council: Russia refused to deliver the weapons to Armenia in order to keep it diplomatically weak; Is Russia attempting to incite divisions between Armenia and Iran over Armenia's pivot to West?
REPORTER: Your administration has been talking about "diversification", and more lately we've been hearing a similar language coming from the EU. You've said you're doing this to fill the security gap left by Russia, but Russia views this as a change of foreign vector by Armenia. Russia claims it was ready to provide the security so we didn't need to "diversify" it.ARMEN: The need for diversification arose objectively because in 2021 we signed contracts with Russia to acquire weapons and reform our army but they didn't move forward.

2024.02.15 15:16 KorayTugberk-g Create Global Brands with Semantic SEO - The Longest SEO Case Study (From 300 to 13.000 Daily Clicks)
 | submitted by KorayTugberk-g to HolisticSEO [link] [comments] NASDAQ SEO Case Study - Does Topical Authority Function for Creating Global Companies? Read to the end to have 100% value in the case study. Semantic SEO relies on communicating search engines with meaning and creating web sources that utilize semantic connections between concepts, web documents, and components to decrease the cost of retrieval. The biggest concern of a commercial search engine is always cost. Cost of the data center, cost of engineering, and cost of computation to understand the relevance and cost of storing and serving indexing shards. To decrease costs, a search engine must consistently improve semantic content networks with trustworthy brand attribution. I am immensely proud of the accomplishments of Holistic SEO & Digital. Our team played a pivotal role in assisting a NASDAQ-listed company in recovering its stock prices through strategic organic search optimization. We established a brand by leveraging Koray's Framework and achieved a Topical Authority state against competitors. I salute every member of Holistic SEO & Digital agency from the bottom of my heart for their unique contribution. Join Holistic SEO Communities: https://www.seonewsletter.digital/subscribe Semantic SEO is used to achieve a superior ranking state called Topical Authority. This SEO Case Study involves 5 main and unique suggestions for larger enterprises that try to utilize semantics in search. 1. Create Multiple Topical Maps that incorporate each otherSEO for Large Enterprises involves bigger teams for semantic content network creations. Creating multiple topical maps by calculating the 3rd year of an SEO project is more complicated than launching only a small topical map and semantic content network. Especially the content configuration, which involves updating the headings, article methodology, anchor texts, and internal link priorities, becomes a more delicate process every 6 months.

The Last 6 Months of Comparison for NASDAQ SEO Case Study. 205% Organic Click Increase, and 120% Impression Increase. The link value proposition is calculated based on the comparison of the cost of the web source to its quality. If a source's quality is 1, out of 10, and cost is 10 out of 10, it means that "it is not worth to rank". Thus, always ask yourself, "Why does Google need my website to satisfy searchers?". If there is a better web source in terms of evaluation efficiency, gradually the ranking loss can begin. The 3 Months Comparison for the project shows a 33% Click Increase and a 35% Impression increase.

2024.01.07 21:36 After-Play-6833 Could this creature pose any threat to a person and/or be intimidating or dangerous at all despite being extremely tiny? (Bestiary)
Would this fictional critter from my setting be at all able to injure or atleast somewhat startle/scare an unarmed person despite how extremely small it is?
Rackelins
Rackelins are tiny but surprisingly violent and aggressive mammals that primarily live in temperate and deciduous forests. They breed very quickly and frequently as there are over 17 million of them spread across their native habitat,as well as hundreds of thousands as invasive species in other areas. As an invasive species,they often pose a threat to native wildlife and ecosystems.
Rackelins are an extremely small mammal,averaging 2.5 - 3.5 feet (76 - 107 centimeters) in length excluding the tail. They usually reach between 15 - 24 inches (38 - 61 centimeters) tall at the shoulder,and weigh anywhere from 30 - 70 pounds (14 - 32 kilograms),although some rare males can get slightly over 100 pounds (or 45 kilograms). They vaguely resemble a combination of bear,dog,rat,fox and bat-like features (the last two due to their sharp pointy ears):in some areas they are colloquially nicknamed 'ratbears' as their general build resembles a small bear or oversized rat. Their lifespan is up to 30 years and they are said to be distantly related to bears and dogs in the setting.
Despite being extremely extremely tiny,most averaging just over 3 feet (0.9 meters) and 55 pounds (around 25 kilograms),rackelins are surprisingly brutal,territorial and violent animals,known to attack with nearly no noticable provocation predators three times their size that could easily kill them. However,rackelins have very thick skin which is hard to penetrate,as well as a head and mouth extremely large in relation to the rest of its body which also gives it the strongest bite in relation to body size. Their sharp claws are often used for defense and to catch food,most of their diet consisting of birds,fish and rodents. They often are a prominent kleptoparasite and scavenger, known to attack larger predators in order to steal their kills,or just in general impulsively pick fights with way bigger and stronger animals for little reason outside their notoriously bad tempers. Hell:one of the largest predatory land mammals to share their habitat averages 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) long and 210 pounds (95 kilograms),almost twice the length and four times the weight of a rackelin,but they regularly fight it when it enters their territory with zero hesitation or reluctance anyways.
Usually solitary,rackelins are known to take down animals way larger than themselves:a 40-pound (18-kilogram) male has been observed taking down a 90-pound (40-kilogram) deer,however prey items like this are rare and they generally target animals smaller than themselves which are easier to overpower:favored prey items include waterbirds like storks,geese,swans or ducks,large rodents like porcupines or beavers,and rabbits. Omnivorous,their diet is about 80% meat and 20% plant matter,as they also consume bird eggs,carrion,lizards,smaller rodents like ground squirrels or mice,pigeons,insects/larvae,frogs and small fish,but also nuts,roots,acorns,wild berries and other vegetation when meat is scarce. They are considered pests by some farmers due to frequent attacks on poultry and being rabies vectors. They are also surprisingly strong for an animal of their size,as a 65-pound (30-kilogram) male has been observed using its front paws to overturn a 110-pound (50-kilogram) rock in order to eat insects hiding under it.
Although monkeys do not exist in the rackelin's native habitat,where they turned invasive they've been known to prey on small primates.
Their notorious bad tempers and territorial,bellicose disposition has also earned them the nickname snarlers because of the blood curdling noises they produce when irritated. At night,male rackelins are known for producing a high pitched 'shrieking' noise which is a way of asserting dominance over their territory and scaring away other males,with superstitious locals living near their habitats often seeing rackelin shrieks as a bad omen or sign of bad luck. Despite usually being solitary,rackelins are known to come together to feed when they come across carrion,aggressively ripping off chunks of flesh from carcasses and often accidentally biting and attacking each other in feeding frenzies. Their mating ritual is also brutal,as females have had to develop extremely thick fur around their necks due to males biting on their necks during mating to prevent them from escaping. They're essentially mammalian land piranhas.
Rackelin swarms,referred to colloquially as 'raids' or 'pillagings',are a phenomenon involving the formation of disorganized groups of rackelins,often numbering several dozens of individuals. These are not packs in a conventional sense,as they do not cooperate long term and have no organized hierarchies,rather rackelins are usually solitary but form these swarms for short time periods when food is scarce and they consider cooperating with other individuals as a faster way to access food and usually rackelins go back to solitary hunting when food sources rebound and swarms are no longer necessary. These swarms are known for being brutal and destructive to human settlements,decimating crops and poultry.
Animals that rackelins have been known to feed on (both in their native habitat and as an invasive species):
-insects,earthworms,grubs,and other small invertebrates
-crayfish and fish
-smaller birds like pigeons and sparrows
-small deer
-chickens and (both wild and domesticated) turkeys
-large waterbirds like swans,geese,and ducks,occasionally storks
-frogs
-snakes and lizards
-rodents ranging in size from mice and squirrels to porcupines and beavers
-rabbits (up to 20% of their diet)
-tortoises
-(where they are invasive) monkeys
Etc.
Could this fictional animal realistically be any threat at all to a human despite its very very very very very tiny size?

Rackelins
Rackelins are tiny but surprisingly violent and aggressive mammals that primarily live in temperate and deciduous forests. They breed very quickly and frequently as there are over 17 million of them spread across their native habitat,as well as hundreds of thousands as invasive species in other areas. As an invasive species,they often pose a threat to native wildlife and ecosystems.
Rackelins are an extremely small mammal,averaging 2.5 - 3.5 feet (76 - 107 centimeters) in length excluding the tail. They usually reach between 15 - 24 inches (38 - 61 centimeters) tall at the shoulder,and weigh anywhere from 30 - 70 pounds (14 - 32 kilograms),although some rare males can get slightly over 100 pounds (or 45 kilograms). They vaguely resemble a combination of bear,dog,rat,fox and bat-like features (the last two due to their sharp pointy ears):in some areas they are colloquially nicknamed 'ratbears' as their general build resembles a small bear or oversized rat. Their lifespan is up to 30 years and they are said to be distantly related to bears and dogs in the setting.
Despite being extremely extremely tiny,most averaging just over 3 feet (0.9 meters) and 55 pounds (around 25 kilograms),rackelins are surprisingly brutal,territorial and violent animals,known to attack with nearly no noticable provocation predators three times their size that could easily kill them. However,rackelins have very thick skin which is hard to penetrate,as well as a head and mouth extremely large in relation to the rest of its body which also gives it the strongest bite in relation to body size. Their sharp claws are often used for defense and to catch food,most of their diet consisting of birds,fish and rodents. They often are a prominent kleptoparasite and scavenger, known to attack larger predators in order to steal their kills,or just in general impulsively pick fights with way bigger and stronger animals for little reason outside their notoriously bad tempers. Hell:one of the largest predatory land mammals to share their habitat averages 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) long and 210 pounds (95 kilograms),almost twice the length and four times the weight of a rackelin,but they regularly fight it when it enters their territory with zero hesitation or reluctance anyways.
Usually solitary,rackelins are known to take down animals way larger than themselves:a 40-pound (18-kilogram) male has been observed taking down a 90-pound (40-kilogram) deer,however prey items like this are rare and they generally target animals smaller than themselves which are easier to overpower:favored prey items include waterbirds like storks,geese,swans or ducks,large rodents like porcupines or beavers,and rabbits. Omnivorous,their diet is about 80% meat and 20% plant matter,as they also consume bird eggs,carrion,lizards,smaller rodents like ground squirrels or mice,pigeons,insects/larvae,frogs and small fish,but also nuts,roots,acorns,wild berries and other vegetation when meat is scarce. They are considered pests by some farmers due to frequent attacks on poultry and being rabies vectors. They are also surprisingly strong for an animal of their size,as a 65-pound (30-kilogram) male has been observed using its front paws to overturn a 110-pound (50-kilogram) rock in order to eat insects hiding under it.
Although monkeys do not exist in the rackelin's native habitat,where they turned invasive they've been known to prey on small primates.
Their notorious bad tempers and territorial,bellicose disposition has also earned them the nickname snarlers because of the blood curdling noises they produce when irritated. At night,male rackelins are known for producing a high pitched 'shrieking' noise which is a way of asserting dominance over their territory and scaring away other males,with superstitious locals living near their habitats often seeing rackelin shrieks as a bad omen or sign of bad luck. Despite usually being solitary,rackelins are known to come together to feed when they come across carrion,aggressively ripping off chunks of flesh from carcasses and often accidentally biting and attacking each other in feeding frenzies. Their mating ritual is also brutal,as females have had to develop extremely thick fur around their necks due to males biting on their necks during mating to prevent them from escaping. They're essentially mammalian land piranhas.
Rackelin swarms,referred to colloquially as 'raids' or 'pillagings',are a phenomenon involving the formation of disorganized groups of rackelins,often numbering several dozens of individuals. These are not packs in a conventional sense,as they do not cooperate long term and have no organized hierarchies,rather rackelins are usually solitary but form these swarms for short time periods when food is scarce and they consider cooperating with other individuals as a faster way to access food and usually rackelins go back to solitary hunting when food sources rebound and swarms are no longer necessary. These swarms are known for being brutal and destructive to human settlements,decimating crops and poultry.
