Accordion aka Squeeze-Box 🗃 This is a list of articles describing popular music acts that incorporate the accordion. The accordion appeared in popular music from the 1900s-1960s. This half century is often called the "Golden Age of the Accordion." Three players: Pietro Frosini, and the two brothers Count Guido Deiro and Pietro Deiro were major influences at this time.
[ToloNews] One woman died and another woman was maimed after they were hit by a vehicle associated with Islamic Emirate forces in PD 5 of Kabul city, family members of the slain woman claimed on Thursday.
The victims’ families called on officials to hold the perpetrators accountable.
According to the family, the accident occurred on Wednesday.
"We want the government to arrest the criminal. We know he didn’t intend to kill (my mother) but it is shameful to hit someone with a car and leave them on the street," said the son of the victim.
"An accident took place. When I came out of the shop, I saw two women lying on the street. One of them died and another was maimed" said Ramiz, witness.
"We call on the Islamic Emirate to find the perpetrators via cameras and bring them to justice soon," said Naveedullah, a relative of the victim.
But the Ministry of Interior said that the case is under investigation.
"Unfortunately, they succeeded in escaping but efforts are underway to find the perpetrators via cameras and hold them accountable," said Sayed Khosti, a front man for the Interior Ministry.
[KhaamaPress] An 83-year old Toba Moradi and her six relatives who were members of the only Jewish family in Afghanistan left the country the previous week and are now temporarily living in Albania.
Toba Moradi who was born and raised in the Afghan capital Kabul wants to go to Canada and start a new life with four of her children already settled there.
They were all rescued by IsraAid humanitarian organization that receives assistance from the Israeli President.
Toba Moradi’s siblings have been living in Israel and her parents have also been buried there but she was not in contact with her sibling since they left Afghanistan in the 1960s 1980s.
The Jewish Afghan woman said that she misses Afghanistan and added that she decided to leave her homeland in order to rescue her children’s lives.
"I left Afghanistan, I loved my country Afghanistan, loved it very much. I had to leave because my children were in danger. I am happy that I am going to see my children. My children are in different places, one in one place the other one in the other place; I was not able to see them. I was crying." She told AP.
Toba Moradi is a distant cousin of Zabulon Somantov who left Afghanistan last month.
Somantov would named himself as the only Jewish in Afghanistan and the sole survivor of a centuries-old community.
Simentov’s distant cousin, Tova Moradi, was born and raised in Kabul and lived there until last week, more than a month after Simentov departed in September. Fearing for their safety, Moradi, her children and nearly two dozen grandchildren fled the country in recent weeks in an escape orchestrated by an Israeli aid group, activists and prominent Jewish philanthropists.
“I loved my country, loved it very much, but had to leave because my children were in danger,” Moradi told The Associated Press from her modest quarters in the Albanian town of Golem, whose beachside resorts have been converted to makeshift homes for some 2,000 Afghan refugees.
Moradi, 83, was one of 10 children born to a Jewish family in Kabul. At age 16, she ran away from home and married a Muslim man.
As I understand it, by Muslim law this makes her children and grandchildren Muslim, following the faith of their father. And if the children are practicing Muslims, they are not Jewish, but of Jewish ancestry, by Jewish law. They’d have to undergo formal conversion to be Jews, same as anyone else. Whether there is a legitimate concern that the Taliban would bully them for it is a different question...
She never converted to Islam, maintained some Jewish traditions, and it was no secret in her neighborhood that she was Jewish.
Now, Moradi and six of her relatives are in Albania, and another 25 relatives made it to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates earlier this week.

20-25% of the $144m is slated for "Art Therapy" in the form of Hunter's action paintings, to be hung in public buildings across Kabul and Kandahar and other regional centers. Sort of like the murals in post offices funded by the WPA during the Depression.

[LIBYAREVIEW] Western Libya continues to suffer from the control of militias. A few weeks remain until the country’s Presidential and Parliamentary elections are due to be held, according to the roadmap approved by the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF). Despite the approaching date of the elections, the security situation does not bode well that an important and decisive event will happen soon.Recently, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... has witnessed a new wave of insecurity, chaos, and festivities between armed militias. Violent armed festivities erupted on Monday evening in the city of al-Zawiya, between the militias of Mohammed al-Bahrun (Al-Far) and the Stabilization Support Agency, led by Abdel-Ghani al-Kikli (Ghneiwa). This led to extensive damage to the al-Zawiya Oil Refinery Complex.
Other festivities in the al-Farnaj area of Tripoli took place between Ghneiwa and the Judicial Police Affiliated with the (RADA) Special Deterrence Forces led by Abdel-Rauf Kara.
On Wednesday, an gang affiliated with the 444th Brigade, stormed the house of the commander of the Tripoli military region, Major General Abdel-Basset Marwan in the Soug al-Jumaa district and assaulted him.
On the same day, Libyan Minister of Sports, Abdel-Shafi al-Juweifi announced that an gang stormed the ministry’s headquarters in Tripoli, and assaulted several employees.
On Thursday, the Commander of the 55th Infantry Brigade in western Libya, Muammar al-Dhawi, survived an liquidation attempt, the Brigade announced in a statement.
These events show that despite the political progress being made, the country remains under the control of militias and gangs.

Remember we are talking about a Portland DA. Office
So does anyone think this Anti-USA Brown Shirt will get much more than a $500 Hollywood/(D) covered fine?
Or has the Portland Business owners and Middle Class finally made it clear? Take control or we're leaving. Then were are you going get the Tax Revenue to run the city?
Seriously with the C-19 petering out,
The Socialist- Democrats are in a tight spot.
They need the AF and BLM Brown Shirts to still disrupt order as much as possible. So as to impose greater controls and have any chance to fake the 2022 election results.
Cops in Northern Virginia have been warned by ISIS of a potential threat at malls and shopping centers, according to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis
Increased law enforcement will continue through Halloween weekend and into Tuesday - Election Day - when McAuliffe and Youngkin compete for governor
Officers were already reportedly patrolling the area around Fair Oaks Mall, which is located 20miles outside of Washington, DC
Earlier this week Department of Homeland Security's intelligence chief John Cohen said ISIS wants individuals to act on their own in lone-wolf attacks
US intelligence agencies also said they believe the Islamic State in Afghanistan could develop the capability to attack the United States in as little as six months
The worrisome announcements come after the rapid end of America's 20-year war, which resulted in the death of 13 US troops killed in an ISIS-K suicide attack
Update from Twitter at 3:49 p.m. ET:
Some USSS agents are concerned DC-area ISIS threat may be related to a report of 3 Afghan refugees who forced their way off a bus earlier this month

Could security issues associated with this threat be used to call for extended/relaxed election rules to allow McAuliffe's people to line up votes they look to need?
[OneIndia] A terrorist who was going to kill a shopkeeper in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... has been rubbed out.
The police said that the terrorist fired on the ADP of the Army and Police in Cherdari, Baramulla. The alert parties retaliated and 1 terrorist was killed. The police have recovered 1 pistol, 1 loaded magazine and I Pakistain made grenade from his possession. Now where could he have gotten that?
The police said that the killed terrorist has been identified as one Javed Ah Wani of Kulgam.He had assisted another terrorist, Gulzar in the killing of 2 labourers from Bihar in Wanpoh. He was on a mission to kill one shopkeeper in Baramulla, the police said.
On October 21 the security agencies had shot full of holes four snuffies in two separate encounters.
These snuffies were responsible for the killing of migrant workers, the police said. In the shootout at Shopian two snuffies and a Sepoy Karanveer Singh were killed. In another encounter at Kulgam, two bad boyz were potted.
The snuffies killed in Shopian were behind the killing of a carpenter from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
The two snuffies killed in Kulgam were responsible for the killing of two labourers from Bihar.
Last week a Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander and a top terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir, Umar Mushtaq Khanday involved in the killing of two police man was shot full of holes.
Another terrorist Suhail also was killed by the police. The two bad boyz were potted in Drangbal, Pampore. The Jammu and Kashmir police said that the force is committed to hunt down these snuffies who try to create fear among the masses and spread mischief and tumult in the Valley. Such elements and their names should be excised from society the police also said.
The police had said that Khanday a top Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander has been trapped during an operation in Pulwama. He was named among the top ten snuffies by the police along with Salim Parray, Yousuf Kantroo, Abbas Sheikh, Reyaz Shetergund, Farooq Nali, Zubair Wani and Ashraf Molvi, Saqib Manzoor and Wakeel Shah.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Chief Minister Usman Buzdar on Thursday gave a free hand to the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to deal with the ongoing violent mostly peaceful protests by the banned Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP).
"The government cannot allow anyone to play with the lives and properties of citizens and it is the responsibility of the government to maintain law and order and protect public property and the government will fulfil its responsibility in all circumstances," he underscored as he directed the LEAs to take all possible measures to maintain the law and order situation in the province.
Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy was furiously chewing her cud and thinking... a rally comprising thousands of workers of the proscribed TLP left Kamoke and entered Gujranwala city on Thursday afternoon, as life in the areas surrounding its route continued to remain disrupted. Some 4,000 TLP workers travelled on Grand Truck Road in large trucks and buses along with their supplies, as stick-wielding activists of the group guarded the procession from all sides.
Soon after reaching the inner city, the TLP protesters set up camp on GT Road, blocking the thoroughfare. Markets in the vicinity were also closed down to avoid any untoward situation. The protesters said they would spend the night in Gujranwala before leaving for Islamabad via Wazirabad and Gujrat in the morning.
A heavy deployment of law enforcers has also been reported at different points with measures being taken to stop the rally before it reaches Islamabad.
Due to the security situation in the region, Pakistain Railways has also cancelled several scheduled trains in view of possible sit-ins in Islamabad by the proscribed right-wing outfit.
Railway operations between Lahore and Rawalpindi have been disrupted and all trains between the two cities have also been cancelled.
The route of the Tezgam Express locomotive from Lahore to Rawalpindi has been diverted from Lahore to Gujrat instead of its usual Lahore to Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... via Rawalpindi route.
A day earlier, the federal government had announced the deployment of Rangers in Punjab for 60 days after at least four coppers were martyred and over 250 sustained injuries in festivities between participants of the march and law enforcers near Sadhoki.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said on Friday that during an important operation last night 32 activists of a banned outfit had been arrested. Facebook Fact Checkers?

Turks are getting in on the fighting: Turkish artillery shells two villages in the north of Aleppo province Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[VOENNOEDELO] Turkish artillery strikes at territories in the north of the Aleppo province in Syria. The settlements of Ein Dakna and Biiluniya came under fire. RIA Novosti writes about this, referring to a message in the Kurdish agency ANHA.
As indicated in the message, artillery fire was recorded in the evening of October 28. Presumably, the volleys were fired by cannons and rocket systems. Dozens of shells exploded in settlements.
The agency said that the army of the Syrian Arab Republic returned fire. The positions of the militants near the city of Azaz were fired upon from multiple launch rocket systems.
[An Nahar] Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... on Friday ordered the Lebanese ambassador to the kingdom to leave the country within 48 hours and stopped all imports from Leb ...In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... , a response to comments by a Lebanese minister who described the war in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... as a Saudi "aggression."Saudi state media added that the kingdom's ambassador to Beirut was also asked to head back home.
The Saudi statement also noted that "Lebanon has not taken measures requested by the kingdom to halt the exportation of drugs from Lebanon through the Lebanese exports to the kingdom, especially amid the control of terrorist Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... of all border posts."
"No penalties have been taken against those involved in those crimes that are targeted against the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in addition to the noncooperation in handing over the runaways to the kingdom, in contravention of the Riyadh judicial cooperation treaty," the statement added.
The statement meanwhile reassured that "the kingdom is keen on the Lebanese citizens who are residing in the kingdom," noting that "they are considered part of the fabric and unity that gather the Saudi people and its Arab brothers who live in the kingdom."
A source close to the Gulf Cooperation Council meanwhile told Lebanon's MTV that "all of Lebanon's ambassadors will be expelled from the GCC member states in the next few hours."
"There is an inclination to impose comprehensive political and economic sanctions on Lebanon in the next few days," a Gulf source told the TV network.
A Saudi source meanwhile told MTV that "the sharp diplomatic crisis will lead to Lebanon's isolation in the Arab world," warning that "we're still in the beginning" of the measures.
The developments come days after a video circulated on social media in which Lebanon's Information Minister George Kordahi described the war in Yemen as an aggression by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Kordahi made the comments on a TV program before he was chosen for the post in September. Kordahi is close to the Marada Movement the personal militia of Suleiman Franjieh, president of Lebanon at the outbreak of the civil war, currently Syrian toadies, but you never know when that could change... , a close ally of Iran-backed Hizbullah.
Saudi Arabia lists Hizbullah as a terrorist organization. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Lebanon have been tense in recent months over what the kingdom says Hizbullah's control of the small country.
