Former President Trump's tax return data could be made public if voting on Tuesday heads that way.
The Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee is expected to vote Tuesday on whether to make public six years' worth of information about former President Donald Trump's tax returns – a move Trump has fought.
The committee is meeting behind closed doors Tuesday afternoon and is expected to consider whether to release data from Trump's tax returns from 2015-2020, according to The Associated Press.

After brief public remarks at 3 p.m. ET, Tuesday, the panel moved into a private executive session with Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., citing "the confidential nature of the subject matter."
The committee also unanimously voted to have a transcript of the proceedings released when appropriate, ABC News reported.
According to ABC News, Trump's name wasn't mentioned, though multiple boxes of his tax documents were seen being wheeled into the room before the meeting.
On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, spoke in opposition to House Democrats releasing Trump's tax returns Tuesday, arguing doing so would set a dangerous precedent of weaponizing tax records.
"It's the power to embarrass, harass or destroy Americans through disclosure of their tax returns," Brady said. "After nearly half a century, the political enemies list is back in Washington, D.C., and we worry this will unleash a cycle of political retribution in Congress."
The committee obtained the information from the Treasury Department last month, after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Trump's request to block an appears court order that he surrender his tax returns and other financial records to the committee.
On Monday, after 16 months, the Jan. 6 committee referred potential criminal charges for former President Donald Trump and Trump attorney John Eastman to the Department of Justice on Monday.
The committee made its final public presentation Monday about the alleged effort by former President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, which included referring the former president for criminal prosecution.
"We understand the gravity of each and every referral we are making today just as we understand the magnitude of the crime against democracy that we describe in our report. But we have gone where the facts and the law lead us and inescapably," committee member Rep. Jaime Raskin said before asking for a unanimous consent for the criminal referral.
The committee's closing arguments wrapped up a year-and-a-half-long inquiry and detailed findings about the riot, which the committee has called an "attempted coup" that warrants criminal prosecution from the Department of Justice.
On Monday, Former Vice President Mike Pence told Fox News that the Department of Justice should not bring any charges against President Trump related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"How many times did Adam Schiff say that there was evidence of collusion with Russia? Two and a half years we listened to Adam Schiff talk about evidence that he had seen that was never there," Pence told "America's Newsroom" hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer.
Rep. Schiff said Sunday he believes the "evidence is there" to pursue a criminal case against Trump.
"Congress has no formal role in Justice Department decisions and they can make recommendations today," Pence responded, adding the committee has a "partisan taint" that has led to many Americans ignoring the hearings.

BkiUbm7xK2li-LM1QYof | Galaxy S9 pre-orders open March 2 in South Korea, priced higher than Galaxy S8
We already know that Samsung is going to unveil the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ on February 25 in Barcelona. The company will reveal the pricing and availability details of its new flagship at the event. A new report out of South Korea possibly reveals when Samsung will open Galaxy S9 pre-orders in its home country. It also mentions that the Galaxy S9 will be priced higher than the Galaxy S8.
According to a new report out of South Korea, the Galaxy S9 pre-orders will start on March 2 in Samsung's home market. All three major carriers in the country are said to offer the device. The Galaxy S9 pre-orders will reportedly be live for one week from March 2-8.
The report also mentions that the Galaxy S9 is going to be slightly more expensive than its predecessor. Samsung sold the 64GB Galaxy S8 for 935,000 won or $875 in South Korea and it's now expected to charge between 950,000 won and 990,000 won or $890-$930 for the Galaxy S9.
As we know what to expect from the Galaxy S9, it's not surprising to hear that it's going to cost a bit more than its predecessor. It was never believed that the new flagship might cost the same as the Galaxy S8.
If the information in this report is accurate then Samsung will open Galaxy S9 pre-orders a week after the handset is unveiled at MWC 2018. It started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 the very next day after unveiling it on March 29. Some reports have suggested that Samsung will stick to the script for the Galaxy S9 as well.

BkiUa9TxK6Ot9WA5fden | CDC issues new eviction ban for most of US through Oct. 3
The announcement was something of a reversal for the Biden administration after saying that a Supreme Court ruling prevented a moratorium
Associated Press |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday issued a new moratorium on evictions that would last until October 3, as the Biden administration sought to quell intensifying criticism that it was allowing vulnerable renters to lose their homes during a pandemic.
The new moratorium could help keep millions in their homes as the coronavirus' delta variant has spread and states have been slow to release federal rental aid. It would temporarily halt evictions in counties with "substantial and high levels" of virus transmissions and would cover areas where 90% of the U.S. population lives.

The announcement was something of a reversal for the Biden administration after saying that a Supreme Court ruling prevented a moratorium. But the choice to impose a new measure in the face of legal uncertainty was also a win for the progressive lawmakers who pushed the White House to do more to prevent some 3.6 million Americans from losing their homes during the COVID-19 crisis.
President Joe Biden stopped short Tuesday afternoon of announcing the new ban on evictions during a press conference at the White House, ceding the responsibility to the CDC.
"My hope is it's going to be a new moratorium," Biden told reporters.
The extension could help heal a rift with liberal Democratic lawmakers who were calling on the president to take executive action to keep renters in their homes as the delta variant of the coronavirus spread and a prior moratorium lapsed over the weekend.
The new policy came amid a scramble of actions by the Biden team to reassure Democrats and the country that it could find a way to limit the damage from potential evictions through the use of federal aid. But pressure mounted as key lawmakers said it was not enough.
Top Democratic leaders joined Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., who has been camped outside the U.S. Capitol, the freshman congresswoman who once lived in her car as a young mother, leading a passionate protest urging the White House to prevent widespread evictions.
"For 5 days, we've been out here, demanding that our government acts to save lives," she tweeted. "Today, our movement moved mountains."

Black congresswomen are leading the fight against eviction — that's not coincidental
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was a day of "extraordinary relief."
"The imminent fear of eviction and being put out on the street has been lifted for countless families across America. Help is Here!" Pelosi said in a statement.
Administration officials had previously said a Supreme Court ruling stopped them from setting up a new moratorium without congressional backing, saying states and cities must be more aggressive in releasing nearly $47 billion in relief for renters on the verge of eviction.
The president said he sought input from legal scholars about whether there were options and said the advice was mixed, though some suggested, "It's worth the effort." Biden also said he didn't want to tell the CDC, which has taken the public health lead in responding to the pandemic, what to do.
"I asked the CDC to go back and consider other options that may be available," he said.

The CDC has identified a legal authority for a new and different moratorium for areas with high and substantial increases in COVID-19 infections.
Biden also insisted there is federal money available — some $47 billion previously approved during the COVID-19 crisis — that needs to get out the door to help renters and landlords.
"The money is there," Biden said.
The White House has said state and local governments have been slow to push out that federal money and is pressing them to do so swiftly.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen briefed House Democrats Tuesday about the work underway to ensure the federal housing aid makes it to renters and landlords. She provided data so that lawmakers could see how their districts and states are performing with distributing the relief, according to a person on the call.

The treasury secretary tried to encourage Democrats to work together, even as lawmakers said Biden should act on his own to extend the eviction moratorium, according to someone on the private call who insisted on anonymity to discuss its contents.
Yellen said on the call, according to this person, that she agrees "we need to bring every resource to bear" and that she appreciated the Democrats' efforts and wants "to leave no stone unturned."
As the eviction crisis mounted, the White House frequently said Biden was doing all he could under legal constraints. The administration had repeatedly resisted another extension because the Supreme Court appears likely to block it. When the court allowed the eviction ban to remain in place through the end of July by a 5-4 vote, one justice in the majority, Brett Kavanaugh, wrote that Congress would have to act to extend it further.
As the initial moratorium expired, the administration emphasized many Americans will be able to stay housed with money already approved for aid and other efforts underway. The White House noted that state-level efforts to stop evictions would spare a third of the country from evictions over the next month.
Still, Biden faced stinging criticism, including from some in his own party, that he was was slow to address the end of the moratorium. Some people were at immediate risk of losing their homes.
Pelosi had called the prospect of widespread evictions "unfathomable." The Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and other progressive lawmakers intensified pressure on the White House to issue an immediate extension.
Rep. Cori Bush sleeps outside U.S. Capitol in protest of eviction moratorium expiration
Late last week, Biden announced he was allowing the ban to expire, pushing Congress to act, but lawmakers were unable to swiftly rally the votes as even Democrats questioned prolonging the eviction ban for a few more months.
The CDC put the initial eviction ban in place as part of the COVID-19 response when jobs shifted and many workers lost income. The ban was intended to hold back the spread of the virus among people put out on the streets and into shelters.
Democratic lawmakers said they were caught by surprise by Biden's decision to end the moratorium, creating frustration and anger and exposing a rare rift with the administration. The CDC indicated in late June that it probably wouldn't extend the eviction ban beyond the end of July.
Rep. Maxine Waters, the powerful chair of the Financial Services Committee, has been talking privately for days with Yellen and urged the treasury secretary to use her influence to prod states to push the money out the door. But Waters also called on the CDC to act on its own.
After the CDC's announcement Tuesday, Waters released a statement thanking Biden "for listening and for encouraging the CDC to act! This extension of the moratorium is the lifeline that millions of families have been waiting for."

BkiUcAPxK7Dgs_XS-x92 | Today's guest(s): Stephen Colella, assistant director of the Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults, and Seth DeMoor, founder of the website OneBillionStories.com.
A summary of today's show: Stephen Colella of the Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults talks about World Youth Day pilgrimages, including this summer's WYD in Madrid, and their value to young people on a faith journey. Seth DeMoor tells us about his plan to collect the personal witnesses of all one billion Catholics on their lifetime journeys of faith. And Stephen, Scot, and Fr. Matt answer listener questions about the sacrament of confession.
Today was very active at the Pastoral Center. There were 120 people at noon Mass with the Sisters of Life from New York and all the pro-life directors from around New England. Cardinal Sean gave a great homily as well. Fr. Matt said you see Catholics embracing the wonderful practice of daily Mass for Lent. Many people don't realize that we can go every day, that there is Mass every day of the year, except Good Friday. It's a good habit to form.
Tonight is the first of the six Wednesdays during Lent in which we will have the Light Is On For You. Every parish throughout the archdiocese will be open for confessions from 6:30 to 8pm.
Questions about confession may be emailed to LIVE@thegoodcatholiclife.com, texted or called into 617-410-MASS.
2nd segment: Stephen Colella joins Scot and Fr. Matt. World Youth Day 2011 is in Madrid. Every 3 years it's a celebration of young people gathering from around the world. Steve said Madrid is a classic European city, lots of plazas for gatherings, lots of historic churches and relics. His team has been planning since the last one, in Sydney, Australia, in 2008. Each WYD has its own flair, culturally, and the marks of the universal Church in that place. You also experience the culture, food, and music that makes that place unique. For example, on Wednesday of that week, the WYD organizers have rented every theater in Madrid and will be showing Catholic films submitted in every language.
Fr. Matt said pilgrims should expect it to be hot, hot, hot. Some forecasts say it can be 110 degrees. They prepare the pilgrims by drilling into them, "This is a pilgrimage, not a vacation. On a pilgrimage, we never complain about anything." With that said, in Spain, you have the oldest marian shrine in the history of the Church, Santiago de Compostela. Spain has some of the greatest saints in history. In Spain, you're always encountering churches, still in good condition, that are older than our country.
Scot said he would love someday to visit the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Fr. Matt said that the pilgrimage will be making a stop there. Stephen said his favorite church in Madrid, St. Gines, a smaller church and absolutely beautiful with side shrines dedicated to almost every saint you can imagine. The other is in Valencia, a church that traditionally is said to house the relic of the holy Grail.
Stephen said that the schedule of the week of pilgrimage reflects the paschal mystery, as Pope John Paul designed it. When the Boston pilgrims arrive they will land on Sunday; have Mass at the cathedral and a tour on Monday; the opening Mass by the local bishop on Tuesday night; then catechetical festivals by language group through the week. The Pope arrives during the week, and on Friday there is the Stations of the Cross. On Saturday morning, the pilgrims rise early and have Mass with Cardinal Seán (many pilgrims from other places will seek out the cardinal's Mass, knowing him from his blog.) Then the pilgrims will walk 3-4 miles from St. Francis Basilica to the overnight site, where the pilgrims camp out and have celebrations throughout the evening with Holy Father. In the morning, the Holy Father celebrates Mass and announces the next World Youth Day. The pilgrimage ends with a dinner for the whole Boston group, and then they return to the US.
3rd segment: Continuing the conversation about World Youth Day. Pope John Paul II made WYD a centerpiece of his papacy and he believed that moments in time can be a huge part of the faith journey. He had a theology for young people that was powerful and inviting.
Stephen said Pope John Paul had in mind with WYD to restore the concept of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is not a program or itinerary, it's an experience that is coached or directed. The subjective person, with whatever they bring with them, can go through the experience as a member of a community and still receive the universal objective truth. People on pilgrimage can have profound moments. You can train adults to have a model of leading an experience. You coach pilgrim in a system that is successful and you make them successful, which is the Bill Belichick model. The leaders can help a young person process what they've experienced as perhaps a life-changing adult reversion or conversion experience.
Fr. Matt said he's been to 4 World Youth Days, the first one in Rome when he was a seminarian staying at St. Joseph, Quincy. In 2002, Toronto; 2005, Cologne, Germany; and 2008 in Sydney. In Rome, his powerful memories are of the heat, the crowds, and the incredible history of the Church, and the love of the Pope. A constant throughout this is the young people's encounter with the love of the Holy Father. The "Catholic sense" kicks in when the pilgrim encounters "Peter." The pilgrimage triggers the heart to be more receptive to the Gospel. His first two times, he went as a pilgrim, not a leader; but the second two he went as a leader, helping to direct young persons to grow in the areas they need. In Australia, what blew him away was when the young people started hearing the theology of the body teachings. At the end of the week in Australia, he and Stephen hosted a gathering of young people to help them be able to articulate what they had experienced to their friends and family, to be able share what they learned. Three young women on that trip used the contents of a girl's purse to illustrate the pressure that the world puts on them to be attractive to boys, and they said they learned that their relationship with Christ was more powerful and what gave them real value. When asked where they learned it on the trip, they said it was in the sacrament of confession.
4th segment: Scot and Fr. Matt welcome Seth DeMoor. He said he was raised Catholic, but was pretty lukewarm growing up. He learned the faith in his mind, but it never traveled to his heart. He attended the University of Colorado, where he encountered two excellent priests who helped him discover his faith. One Billion Stories refers to the one billion Catholics and he believes that all Catholics have a story to share. Jesus taught through parables and stories. Fr. Matt asked what sharing one's story does for the faith.
Seth said that it's difficult to connect with people just through the teachings of the Church or even Scripture, but they may listen to a personal testimony from someone if it's authentic and real.
In November 2009, he was about to graduate from university and didn't have a job, so he decided to start a bike ride from Florida back to Denver, Colorado over 2,400 miles, collecting stories. This was the start of the website. It took 90 days. Before he left he had only 4 contacts for places to stay during his trip. He brought camping gear, but over the 90 days he only had to camp out 7 nights. Every other night people would take him in, usually folks he would encounter at daily Mass. They would hear his story and soon he would be eating dinner at their house. Fr. Matt is reminded of Christ sending out the 72 disciples who he told not to bring extra supplies, but to depend on providence.
Seth said that story of the 72 was poignant because Christ sent the disciples in pairs, and he went alone and it was very difficult.
One of the surprising stories was interviewing a gentleman who popped out a glass eye in the middle of the interview. But more inspiring was a young man in Gainesville, Florida, who had fallen away from the faith, got into Buddhism and New Age then fundamentalist Christianity, hating the Church. But by the time Seth interviewed him, he was in RCIA.
Fr. Matt asked him what audience he was drawing to the website. Seth said as a 25-year-old he spends a lot of time with similar age people and that's the biggest part of his audience and those who are contributing their stories, but his most devout audience are mothers who are really engaged with the stories.
He's working on a new series for CatholicTV in 13 parts that's the back story to his pilgrimage and the stories he encountered. It will air in September. For OneBillionStories, he's also looking for people to help him take the mission to the next level, recording and compiling stories from around the globe. It's not his full-time job, but he's hoping to turn it into a non-profit.
5th segment: Every Wednesday, we announce the winner of the 1060 WQOM Benefactor Raffle. This week the recipient will win a copy of the "2011 Calendar of Indulgences" from Bridegroom Press. This week's winner of the Benefactor Card raffle is Rose Dacorta from Dorchester Center, Mass.. Congratulations to Rose.

For a one-time $30 donation, you'll receive the Station of the Cross benefactor card and key tag, making you eligible for our weekly raffle of books, DVDs, CDs, and religious items. We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during The Good Catholic Life.
6th segment: Stephen rejoins Scot and Fr. Matt. They will answer questions submitted by listeners about confession.
Over the past few decades, many parishes have added reconciliation rooms to allow face-to-face confession. Is the Church suggesting that face-to-face confession is better than in a traditional confessional?
Fr. Matt said that allowing for face-to-face, an interpersonal communication becomes possible, but both forms are valid. The most important thing is to just go. Stephen said he prefers face-to-face, because it holds him accountable to the priests he frequents. Scot is strong for the anonymity of the confessional booth. He typically goes to St. Anthony shrine, where they start at 6:30 am every day.
I saw a story on the new iPhone app for confession. Some stories have suggested it's a way to go to confession rather than seeing a priest. Please tell me that it isn't true.
Scot said it is definitely not true. The app is a tool to prepare for confession, allowing you to examine your conscience. It's not unlike printing out an examination of conscience; it's just a digital version of that. It was the first app to receive a bishop's imprimatur. Fr. Matt said that the examination of conscience helps the penitent to have the courage to go to confession and to make it more fruitful by preparing before confession. Jumping into confession without reflecting ahead of time doesn't give the opportunity to make sure every part of life has been looked at before confession. Stephen says he does an examen and he likes the idea of the app. Technology is neutral, can be used for good or ill.
I know I need to confess my sins to a priest, but it's difficult to explain to others why sins need to be confessed to a priest when God is all-knowing and can see our contrition.
Fr. Matt said it goes back to Christ telling the apostles that they have the authority to bind and loose, a power and authority that was handed on in the life of the Church. Grace comes to us through the sacraments. When we confess, we encounter Christ through his ordained representatives. In confession the person articulates the sin aloud, and the priest is able to receive that confession and articulate the mercy and absolution. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUc5E5qsBC5C3p7Lbx | Sailor Continues Family's Dive Legacy during YOMD Celebration
Ask any military diver today or from yesteryear about what makes their military community so special and you'll hear one word: Brotherhood. For two men stationed onboard Naval Support Activity Panama City, Fla., this allows them to share a bond in the home of military diving during this, the Year of the Military Diver.

PANAMA CITY, Florida – Ask any military diver today or from yesteryear about what makes their military community so special and you'll hear one word: Brotherhood. For two men stationed onboard Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC) Florida, this brotherhood allows them to share both a personal and professional bond in the home of military diving during this, the Year of the Military Diver.
Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC)'s Training Officer Lt. Jason Junker, today serves in the U.S. Navy's diving community as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer just across the base from his father David Junker, a retired Master Chief Machinist Mate and diver, serves as the In-Service Engineering Agent for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) systems at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The latter Junker retired in 1997 after 20 years on active duty and four years in the reserves.
"Being a Navy diver to me means being part of a long legacy of Navy divers, conducting work under extraordinarily difficult conditions. That was very rewarding for me," said Dave Junker. "On many occasions during my career, I reflected on how much I enjoyed the work and camaraderie, ultimately leading to a full career in this field."
Following in his father's impressive and successful footsteps, Jason graduated from Bay High School in 1997 and enlisted in the Navy in 1999. Working his way up through the enlisted ranks and the EOD community, he advanced to Chief Petty Officer before he was selected for the Seaman-to-Admiral program in which he earned his commission. Since first enlisting, Jason has served in Operations Enduring Freedom and OIF. He has been stationed at EOD mobile units two, six, and five. Today, Junker is NDSTC's third in command.
"Being a military diver means having the honor to follow in the footsteps of some of the bravest men and women who have served our country," said Jason. "It's also about maintaining the proud tradition and heritage they built for us, while moving forward in today's Navy and creating new milestones for future military divers to be proud of."
While his most memorable dive job or duty station to date remains with EOD Mobile Unit Two in Kandahar, Afghanistan, he can embrace the legacy of being in the military dive community during the Year of the Military Diver commemoration. This year, 2015, is also the 100th anniversary of the Mark V dive suit and NDSTC's 35th anniversary.
"The year of the military diver offers a time to gather the diving communities from all DOD services together to share experiences and discuss our history," said Jason. "It provides a rare opportunity for young divers to give something back to those that went before us. It also offers education and quality interaction between our diving community and Bay County leadership."
For Dave Junker, who grew up in Galion, Ohio, enlisted in the Navy's submarine community in 1972. He fondly remembers when the facilities that now embody the home of military diving were being built on the Navy base in Bay County, Florida. It's an area that he proudly calls home and has worked at NSWC PCD now for 10 years.
"I was on staff at the Washington Navy Yard until 1978 and I went through first class dive school here in 1980 when the old YDTS were here," said Dave. "I had a four year break in service and was in the reserves with the Harbor Clearance Unit in Seattle. A chief petty officer I had worked for persuaded me to return to active duty."
Initially, Dave was a "nuke" before he became a Navy diver and was stationed onboard USS Proteus (AS 19), and served in a staff billet at Navy First Class Dive School, Washington Navy Yard before the function was transferred to NDSTC by 1980. He was also stationed at Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, MV Seaforth Clansman with the British Ministry of Defense diver exchange program, USS Ortolan (ASR 22) as a saturation diver, and the Submarine Development Group One, where he worked deep submergence operations support. Finally, he worked at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) located onboard NSA PC in Panama City, Florida where he served as an unmanned test director and unlimited dive supervisor. Of all the wide range of experiences Dave had throughout his 20 year of Navy diving, he fondly recalls his work as a research subject between 1984 and 1987 at the Naval Medical Research Institute.
"What made this job so memorable for me was the testing and understanding the limits of physiological and psychological limitations for extended underwater missions," said Dave.
Today, Dave reflects on what being a Navy diver has meant to him.
"To be part of a long legacy of Navy divers, conducting work under extraordinarily difficult conditions was very rewarding," he said. "On many occasions during my career, I reflected on how much I enjoyed the work and camaraderie, ultimately leading to a full career in this field."
Today, Dave continues to support his dive community but these days it's as a federal civil servant working on EOD systems at NSWC PCD, which is a research, development, test and evaluation facility. Over the years, he has not only watched the base grow into a military dive hub, he has been a major part of it.
"Certainly, in our local community, Navy divers are well known and are hopefully well regarded," said Dave. "Panama City has been the hub of Navy dive training since 1980 when NDSTC opened, and with the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) being here since 1970."
Military divers have been stationed or trained at the Navy base for almost 60 years when divers worked at the base – then called the Mine Defense Laboratory – on mine countermeasures, and diving and life support programs. Those programs have endured and are now supported by NSWC PCD where Dave Junker is employed working engineering and system development for EOD and diving.
"For many divers, Bay County feels like your hometown because at some point, we've all come through the dive school for training," said Jason. "Small, specialized communities, like EOD or divers, tend to go unnoticed most of the time to the public. Panama City and Panama City Beach are unique in that they are exposed to such a large number of men and women divers from all services and Department of Defense (DoD) organizations. The local public seems to recognize the work and sacrifice that the diving community has made and has supported our service members extremely well."
At NDSTC, Junker is responsible for all NDSTC training courses for each branch of service, foreign national and interagency programs. Annually, NDSTC trains more than 1,300 students in various subjects in all ranks. Specifically, NDSTC houses 23 certified diver life support systems, which include six hyperbaric recompression chambers, two diving simulation facilities capable to 300 ft, an aquatics training facility which is the second largest pool in the U.S., a submarine lock-out trunk and two 133ft Yard Diving Tenders (YDT) for open, ocean-diving support with recompression chambers and mixed gas diving capabilities.
"Jason Junker is a tribute to Panama City. He grew up in this city and graduated from Bay High School," said NDSTC Commanding Officer Cmdr. Hung Cao, USN. "Today, he is not only walking in his father's footsteps but he is also the training officer responsible for developing the next generation of divers."
NDSTC students are trained in basic gas laws, diving medicine, recompression chamber operations, salvage mathematics, and salvage operations. The schoolhouse is the largest diving facility in the world and it trains military divers from all services. More than 1,300 students train each year in the 23 courses. Students include candidates for submarine SCUBA, U.S. Navy Deep Sea Divers, Seabee Underwater Construction Divers, Joint Service Diving Officers, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Divers, Diving Medical Technicians, Diving Medical Officers, U.S. Army Engineer Divers, U.S. Marine Corps Combatant Divers, U.S. Coast Guard Divers, and U.S. Air Force Pararescue Operators and Combat Controllers. A limited number of U.S. law enforcement, U.S. government agency and students from allied and coalition nations also train at NDSTC.

BkiUbbjxK7Ehm9ic-30I | Through a careful reconstruction of Melville's interaction with philosophy, Jonik argues that Melville develops a notion of the 'inhuman' after Spinoza's radically non-anthropocentric and relational thought. Melville's own political philosophy, in turn, actively disassembles differences between humans and nonhumans, and the animate and inanimate. Jonik has us rethink not only how we read Melville, but also how we understand our deeply inhuman condition. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUfWXxaKgQVeJrm50H | At African Women Acting, we take pride in supporting young people: our future. We offer year-round and seasonal employment and volunteer opportunities to youths including empowering young women. We also support associated collaborations and partnerships.
Young women are educated and enlightened in employment, womanhood, sisterhood, mental health, self-care, financial health and navigating to social inclusion.
Summer 2021, AWA has employed students through the Canada Summer Jobs Program. Students have been hired in various positions from administration, video direction and marketing.
Sonia at a focus group discussion organized from students researching service needs in the Niagara area. Their work led to employment with AWA.
Members of African Women Crafters making face masks.
In late 2020, we created, hosted and facilitated a series of live streams addressing mental health and made available to artists and the community at large.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the fall of 2020, the organization assembled and employed crafters to sew face masks that were initially donated to non-profit organizations and community members. Fancy tote bags were added in efforts to fundraise.
The workshop was the first in a series geared for women aspiring entrepreneurs, experiencing poverty, domestic abuse, or single mothers.
The participants were looking to earn an income working from home and be part of a community focused on providing financial self-sufficiency. These women, who hope for a place safe space to express themselves, become self-employed and find a community among others who can relate to their struggles.
Women's Entrepreneurship workshop - September 24, 2017
AWA Women Crafters
AWA, assembled the AWA Women Crafters, who were engaged in making face masks crafted from beautiful authentic African fabrics.
The masks were made in response to offer protection from the devastating Coronavirus from the fall of 2020 to February 2021, and were donated to non-profit and for profit organizations, groups and individuals within the GTA including the Niagara region.
The response was overwhelming! We are unable to fulfil requests past the quantity that we had available. We want to offer more in the future
Overall, the Masks Project demonstrated the limitless benefits of AWA crafting in the community. The masks were available for children 5 years and up and also for adults.
This project was proudly and generously funded by the Canadian Red Cross and Employment and Social Development Canada.

BkiUc0s5qsBC3VG0zBO0 | UK artist FKA twigs (Formally Known As twigs) is a quietly up and coming artist making big waves with her anything but understated musical talent and original style. Labelled as a trip-hop 'R&Bjork', twig's first single "Water Me" is hauntingly beautiful, using negative auditory space to highlight her ethereal voice and intimate lyrics. The "Water Me" video, which has garnered polarized reactions - described as both creepy and sensual - is as minimalist as her song, and just as poignant. But it's not just twig's musical genius that's drawing attention, her style is one of a kind. Straddling the dichotomies of both femininity and androgyny, and futurism and vintage, twigs aesthetic silently speaks for her as much her music. Not to mention she has the dopest hair!

BkiUcvfxK6-gD0Src0W9 | I have some issues when playing NFS II SE on my notebook.
The glide version (nfs2sea.exe) doesn't work with my Intel GPU (specs below) that is selected automatically when "Adapter(s) to use / enable" is set to "All of them". The game freezes after 3dfx logo and can be terminated only using task manager.
When I choose Nvidia, the game works but it's always only windowed, no matter what. When I choose fullscreen, then 3dfx logo and game is windowed, when I choose windowed, then the dfx logo is fullscreen and the game is windowed. The game works fine with nglide (The game is patched to support new versions of Windows).
The other version (NFS2SEN.EXE) can be played in fullscreen with no problems. But only with Intel, nvidia doesn't work at all. It just doesn't start at all, only shows black screen for a fracture of second and nothing happens.
What happens when you explicitly select your nVidia in the 'Adapters to use/enable' combobox along with selecting its display output in 'Full Screen Ouput' (instead of 'default')?
I guess the game remains windowed because its window pops up on the primary display but Intel is (virtually?) attached to another output and because of that it can't go into fullscreen on your primary monitor.
At least, the situation is that for me. I've just quick tested NFSIISE on an Intel HD 4600 and it worked perfectly for me.
you changed something in 2.55+ versions in dgVoodoo and NFS2SE don't work anymore with glide2x.dll.
It is definitely problem with 2.55.1 and 2.55.2 glide2x.dll versions. Don't know what is changed but NFS2SE do not like it and it works perfect with 2.54 version.
P.S. As I said, works on plain 2.55 version also but for some reason crashes on exit, 2.54 does not.
Last edited by ggms on 2018-6-18 @ 20:30, edited 1 time in total.
There is only "default", no other option is avaiable.
I updated my drivers to 15.36.34.4889 and it's still the same.
I don't really care about the intel chip, but what should I do with the nvidia? One version of game work only with intel, the other one only with nvidia and windowed.
Also thanks for the info about older versions.
It's really strange because I too tried it on my other machine with dual-GPU and everything worked just fine with 2.55.2.
NFS2EA imports both Glide and DirectDraw. Don't you have a ddraw.dll in the game folder from a previous dgVoodoo version?
That could explain the blank screen after startup because dgVoodoo components with different versions don't work together (e.g. grSstWinOpen just returns with an error in such a case).
Anyway, could you plz set the tracing level to 2 manually in dgVoodoo.conf and attach an output log from the debug version of dgVoodoo?
Dege wrote: NFS2EA imports both Glide and DirectDraw. Don't you have a ddraw.dll in the game folder from a previous dgVoodoo version?
In 2.54 this problem does not exist (you can put booth 2.54 glide2x.dll and ddraw.dll in game dir and the game will work, both versions..nfs2sea.exe and nfs2sen.exe).

I tried both versions of game running in debug and I have the logs for both adapters.
Looks like you were right and the nvidia does't see any displays (in ddraw).
I have only the latest versions of ddraw.dll in the folder.
Did you manage to reproduce problem on your PC Dege? I can give debug version of dgVoodoo another try if needed.. or maybe pepiczech logs were enough?
Unfortunately not. It just works for me with or without DDraw.
Yes, could you plz attach your log to compare that with pepiczech's? Maybe I could figure out something.
@Pepiczech: does the game work for you without DDraw.dll?
I finally figured out why debug did not worked for me...in my compatibility .sdb I used IgnoreDebugOutput for both .exes Maybe you could mention this on your instructions for debug version Dege, could save some people pulling their hair out why debug is blank.. Anyway, here's my log files, two when starting nfs2sea.exe without dgVoodoo 2.55.2 ddraw.dll present and two with both ddraw and glide2x present. Two because I used filter in DebugView with *dgVoodoo* and other two without filtering. NOTE: I cut out middle (not important in this case) part of glide2x_nofilter.LOG (that's the one without ddraw, working glide2x) to make it smaller. Also in all instances I ended nfs2sea.exe task after EA intro was shown because from that point game is working, no need for debug logging (hoping no regression bug creeps in after that..). For case that game locks with black screen (glide2x+ddraw) this is the only option since game can only be ended with end task (and with keyboard only, mouse was not working for me in task manager in this case).
Yeah, I think the "partial fix" is due to the fixed regression bug related to adapter handling.
However NFSII never crashes for me before the videos, no matter what settings I try it with.
The only crash I was able to reproduce is DDraw+Glide combo at game exit. It indeed crashes, as it does with 2.54 too.
Unfortunately it's an internal problem that I cannot fix in 2.55 but only in a future (next) version. Maybe this thing causes the crash for you before entering the game menu, for some weird reason.
I've tested the new version and Intel works fine, even with ddraw.dll in the folder. Except for the crash when exitting game.
The crash while exitting game occurs only with Intel, nvidia exits just fine. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUbFbxK6wB9mn49APb | This recent article says an E-Class spends an average of 156.1 days on a dealer's lot making it the sixth slowest selling model in the US. The Chevy Impala was ranked #7 and the Chrysler 200 was ranked #5. The Mitsubishi Lancer was #1 on the list sitting almost 200 days on a dealer's lot.
This might be good news if you're in the market for a new E-Class as this means Mercedes might give more discounts and incentives to try and move them.
I just stopped by my dealer earlier this week to look in advance of my lease expiration later this year. They appear to be drowning in E Class sedans and even had more coupes and wagons than I expected. I agree, jumpman, good for any any of us in the market... I am happy to get into another one I they can make the #s work.
Here in Tampa, at my dealer, the E Class is a BIG seller. I guess the sales numbers are greatly effected by region?
I read the article and quite frankly I was shocked!
As many of you know I only lease: If there was any doubt of the many advantages of leasing over buying add "slow selling" to the list. As the dealers discount even further the E Class to move them, the resale value will plummet.
When I went to lease my 2019 E450 I also looked at a comparable 2019 BMW 540i 4 matic. Not only did it list for thousands less, but it leased out for over $100 per month less. Previous to my 2016 E 350 I was in two BMW 5 series and liked both – but not as much as my 2016 E350 4matic.
As I previously posted I loved the exterior of the BMW – I still have a hard time telling the E Class sedan from the C Class sedan, but the interior of the Mercedes is what sold me.
Finally, neither the Audi A6 nor BMW 5 series, both of which most people shop when considering the E Class, are on the list. Of course most sell for thousand's less.
I guess I am not as "price sensitive" as the general buying public.

I still don't see as many as I was expecting to around San Diego. What I do see is a ton of X5's and GLE's. I expect the new GLE to eat the E's lunch in many markets.
I was embarrassed to tell my wife that the GLE costs thousands of dollars less than my E450.
She thought the GLE should have cost thousands more - not less. Hard to disagree - more space and utility for less money.
America is voting with their pocket book and that is to SUV's over sedans! In Europe wagons over sedans!
no wagons ever...ever ever - = Boo Hoo as I like them.
for used tends to mirror above except few more E Class.
Go price out the new GLE. The new 2020 GLE 450 reasonably optioned is now in the near $80K range. Fully optioned, it's over $100k.
Contrarian view: As far as I am concerned the less E400 C's on the road the better to keep my car more unique and not part of the masses.
Statistics from the original article: note sales are pretty much in line with what RBRYLAW posted above, but are down over 10% from 2017.
When sales are down 10% in one year on a model that is just in its 2nd year, that must worry any auto manufacturer!
If you are Mercedes Benz, this cannot make you happy!
I don't believe I'm imaging this, but I do recall there was an issue getting the 2019's on dealer lots which caused late summer E Class sales to plummet. I have to imagine that had something to do with the lower E Class sales in 2018. Don't get me wrong, I understand sedans have lost favor in the US. To keep up with the Jones's the suburban family MUST own an SUV, whether they need one or not. I watched a suburban mom try to navigate her beyond huge Dodge SUV into a parking space yesterday. It's so huge she couldn't even manage to get it in the space. She had no kids in the behemoth at the time, and she likely doesn't have more than 2 kids given her age. But her SUV couldn't possibly even fit in the average suburban garage. Stupid, I'm telling you. Simply stupid.
This past winter while skiing we rented a GMC Suburban (we were four adults and two children plus ski gear) and it was the worst vehicle I have ever driven. Cannot imagine driving a Suburban on a daily basis!
But having said that, we have a Ford Edge Sport, mid-size SUV, seating for 5 and loads of room in the back and it does make a lot of sense.
The knock on SUV's, beside the handling is poor fuel economy. Now that many small SUV's get more than 30 mpg on regular and mid-size get in the mid 20's, that problem has been solved.
I researched where "Sedan" came from: it dates back to "sedan chairs" which were carried by 4 people and the "trunk" was a real trunk behind the "sedan".
From a practical point of view wagons and SUV's make much more sense than a sedan. So, people gravitating to SUV's is understandable. If you were to have designed a car from scratch, the most practical shape would be a wagon: for "off road" an SUV.
Sport cars are totally impractical and are bought for non- practicable reason – I know because we own a Porsche Boxster!
As to 2019 E Class not being available: When I ordered my 2019 in September there were many, many 2018 E Class on the lot. My car was delivered within 10 weeks of order. Based on that I did not see any reason for the sales drop in 2018 other than price and lack of interest in sedans. In other words if you wanted a 2018, dealers had many: if you wanted a 2019 the wait was only 10 weeks - perfectly normal.
Last edited by JTK44; 03-17-2019 at 02:17 PM.
When I ordered my 2019, there was a delay and my dealer, which sells a lot of E Class, ran out until the 2019's started rolling in. I don't remember what caused the delay, but I remember some members here knowing their 2019 was built, shipped across the pond and waiting at the port for some reason. The production of my car was pushed out 3 or more weeks from the original build date. I just don't remember the exact reasons why.
Edit: I'm recalling we were thinking the release delay was because of the change from the 400 to 450 engines. The sales manager suggested that was the delay and he was anxious for the 2019's, which were stacked at the VPC to be released. They really had pretty much sold all the 2018's they had left.

I've owned 3 SUV's over the years and would never consider owning another one. They are noisier inside than a sedan, lack lockable storage and are unwieldy in the handling department. IIRC my 2018 was held at the VPC for 6 weeks before shipping to my dealer.
That depends on an SUV, doesn't it?
Every SUV handles poorly compared to a sport sedan such as an E450 or E53.
The very design of an SUV and a wagon means that there is no lockable storage like that of the trunk in a sedan.
Before getting the E400 and E450, we had a nicely optioned GLC 300. It was practical, I'll give it that. But it doesn't drive like a good sedan. Not even close. When they needed to replace the driver door window in my E400, they gave me a GLC loaner. I understand a 300 engine can't compete with a 400/450, but there was just no comparison in how they drive compared to an E Sedan. TBT, I did like sitting up higher. That to me was the only advantage. We could put a piece of furniture in the back with the rear seats folded down, was the other advantage.
Ya? Did you drive W166 ML63/GLE63? I have ML63 (my only AMG) and it will run circles around my E450 "sport" and any sedan/coupe I've ever owned (SLs aside). I take corners in ML63 I would not dare in any other car I have (except SL), as a matter of fact when I tried same corner with the same speed in E450, I almost lost control, actually I did since I had to move to adjacent lane. How about GLC43? Maybe you should educate yourself before posting - finding and driving GLC43 is not that hard. No it is not 63 like handling, but maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.
I'm not talking about horsepower. I would fully expect a 63 to run circles around an E450 in terms of acceleration. That's not my point at all.
I clearly was replying to the "Every SUV handles poorly" statement since I bolded it. Cornering IS handling. I specifically stated "handling" several times. Never mentioned speed/horse power.
My apologies and with egg on my face, I now realize your comment wasn't directed to me at all.
I can't understand the love affair of SUV's in the US. I understand the practicality but find most unattractive compared to sedans, coupes or roadsters.
Of course it also means that if one is in the market for a sedan/coupe = a nice discount, for an SUV (we are talking MBs here of course) = not nearly as much. Someone I know just bought a huge FORD, F450 I think (much larger than F350) - $95K! It can not be even parked in a "normal" garage - crazy.
Luxury is now being defined differently than 10 years ago: gone are 0-60 times, g forces generated and lap times around a closed circuit. How many of us actually ever use the straight-line acceleration and handling of our MB?
Most of us cruise down the Interstate at 70/75 mph!
What seems to matter is interior space, legroom, headroom and seat size. Add in music, driver safety and the fact that more and more young people do not even desire or want a car - they live in urban areas and take Uber!
I must confess I have ridden in a For F150 extended cab and as a passenger I could not ask for more: I am 6' 2" and had all the head room, leg room anyone could want.

SHE'S been dubbed this year's 'joke contestant' but it seems some X Factor viewers just can't get enough of Honey G.
Mums and nans up and down the country are donning gangster caps, massive sunglasses and flashing peace signs in in honour of the controversial rapper.
While her catchphrase ("We say Honey, you say G!") isn't quite taking off, her attitude-filled swag and laid back clobber has won admirers.
Amused children and grandchildren have shared hilarious photographs on Twitter of their relatives rocking the Honey G look.
The 35-year-old rapper - real name Anna Georgette Gilford – has caused a stir on this year's contest after making it through to the live shows.
But whether you're a lover or a hater (and there are plenty of those), you can't help but find these clones hilarious.
Some people have even joked that she bears a striking resemblance to former Prime Minister David Cameron.
Last night, Honey G stepped out in a gold tracksuit to perform Tupac's iconic hit California Love.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger said the rapper would be "turning in his grave" but the audience seemed to like it.
Twitter users slammed the controversial star calling her "awful" and "dreadful".
Some even said the show should "be axed please". | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUd2U4uBhjD09iHs55 | Boczor József (született: Wolf Ferenc, németül: Joseph Boczov Batiz, 1906. január 31. – Suresnes (Mont-Valérien-erőd) 1944. február 21.) romániai magyar vegyészmérnök, kommunista aktivista, a második világháborúban a francia ellenállás mártírja.
Élete
Batizban, Szatmár vármegyében született 1906-ban Wolf Ferenc (vagy Wolff Ferenc) néven. Édesapja kistisztviselőként dolgozott a helybeli fakitermelések egyikében, iskoláit a környéken végezte: Felsőbányán az elemit, majd Nagybányán és Besztercén a gimnáziumot. A prágai Károly Egyetemen kezdte meg vegyészmérnöki tanulmányait 1923-ban, s ekkoriban lépett be a Csehszlovákia Kommunista Pártjába. 1927-ben már Temesváron szervezte a kommunista fiatalokat. Hogy szerzett-e vegyészmérnöki diplomát, nem tudni, mindenesetre a szakmájában soha nem dolgozott, "főállású" pártszervezőként tevékenykedett tovább. A temesvári ifjúkommunisták szervezését követően Felsőbányán szervezte meg az első kommunista sejtet, emellett az Egységes Országos Szakszervet tevékenységében is részt vállalt. A hatóságok üldözték tevékenységéért, mint katonaszökevényt el is ítélték, és másfél évet töltött a kolozsvári börtönben. Szabadulását követően illegalitásban élt Kolozsváron. A spanyol polgárháború 1936-os kirobbanásakor az elsők között jelentkezett a Nemzetközi Brigádokba, azon belül a román egység pártszervezői tisztségét töltötte be. Mozgalmi álnevét ebben az időben vette fel: a Boczor nevet egy régi, felsőbányai bányászcsalád viselte, Boczor József pedig egy osztálytársának neve volt. Spanyolországba 1937-ben érkezett, részt vett az aragóniai offenzívában - ahol kitűnt a bátorságával -, és ezen belül az ebrói csatában is, majd 1939-ben a katalóniai offenzíva során lépte át a spanyol-francia határt. A francia hatóságok iternálótáborba zárták számos köztársasági katonával együtt, ahol tovább folytatta kommunista szervező és agitátortevékenységét. 1941-ben a hatóságok Afrikába akarták áttelepíteni a tábort, mire Boczor néhány társával együtt megszökött. Ezt követően belépett a Francia Kommunista Pártba, és úgynevezett franktirőrként csatlakozott a francia ellenálláshoz. (A franktirőrök a megszálló sereg ellen fegyverrel harcoló nem francia állampolgárságú ellenállók - kb.: szabadlövészek, a franc-tireurs-ból.)
A külföldön - így francia nyelvterületen is - elterjedt Joseph Boczov név egyes források szerint egy közönséges névelírás következtében alakult ki még a francia ellenálláson belül, míg más forrás szerint a Gestapo tudatosan ferdítette el a nevét az oroszos hangzású Boczovra, hogy a közvélemény oroszoktól való félelmét a maga oldalára állítva próbálja elérni Boczor mihamarabbi kézrekerítését. Boczor 1941-től vett részt a megszálló németek elleni szabotázscselekmények szervezésében és végrehajtásában. 1942-ben ellentmondásba került az ellenállás szervezetének átstrukturálását tervező vezetőkkel, emiatt végül nem kapott vezető szerepet az újonnan létrejött egységben (FTP-MOI Francs-tireurs et partisans - Main-d'œuvre immigrée - a francia ellenállás külföldi tagjainak szervezeti egysége). Ugyanakkor nagy szerepe vont abban, hogy a vonatkisiklatásokkal foglalkozó ellenállók önálló egységbe szerveződhettek, sőt irányítójuk is lett. Figyelemre méltó technikus volt, hasznát vette a vegyészmérnöki tanulmányainak is, és végül az SS illetve a Wehrmacht katonáit szállító vonatok elleni szabotázscselekmények specialistája lett. Párizsban lakott, több alkalommal költözött, az ellenállás fedett lakásait igénybevéve. Többször elkerülte a letartóztatást, ám végül 1943. november 17-én elfogták.
A kihallgatásai során többször megverték, de nem adta fel társait - igaz, a nála lefoglalt bizonyítékok, köztük hamis iratok alapján így is többeket elfogtak. 1944 február 18-án 23 vádlott-társával - köztük két magyarral: Elek Tamással és Békés Glasz Imrével - együtt halálra ítélték, és egy kivételével valamennyiüket kivégezték február 21-én.
Neve szerepel a "23-ak" emléktábláján Párizsban és a Drôme megyei Valence-ben (I. Bogzor formában), valamint Marseille-ben is. Alakja felbukkan Robert Guédiguian A bűn serege (L'Armée du crime) című, 20098-ben készült filmjében, ahol Ivan Franek játszotta Boczor szerepét.

* NOTE: The Latin authors often subsumed the book of Baruch under Jeremiah, and so do not name it separately.
The most satisfactory treatment in English of the history of the Church's Old Testament canon is H.E. Ryle's The Canon of the Old Testament (London and New York: MacMillan, 1892). The best short treatment is the article by B.F. Westcott in the revised American edition of William Smith's Dictionary of the Bible. For a more recent study see Earl Ellis, The Old Testament in Early Christianity (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1991).
1. Greek Authorities.
Melito was bishop of the church in Sardis, an inland city of Asia Minor. His list gives the Hebrew canon minus Esther, and makes no mention of any of the disputed books. This list was reproduced by Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea (in his Church History, around 324). See Greek text with translation.
Origen was a very influential teacher in Alexandria, the chief city of Egypt. His list (also preserved by Eusebius) has, after Jeremiah, the words "Lamentations, Letter," and it is thought by some scholars that "Letter" here probably means the book of Baruch, which includes a letter. Others suspect that this is a later addition to the list. After his list of canonical books Origen adds, "and outside of these are the Maccabees." See Greek text with translation.
Cyril of Jerusalem was bishop in that city. His list was published in his Catechetical Lectures, followed by the statement, "Let all the rest [i.e. the rest of the books commonly included in the Septuagint] be placed outside in a second rank. And whatever books are not read in churches, neither should you read them in private." See English text.
Council of Laodicea. The authenticity of this list of canonical books has been doubted by many scholars because it is absent from a variety of the manuscripts containing the decrees of the Council of Laodicea (in Galatia). The list may have been added at a later time. See English text.
Athanasius was the bishop of Alexandria. His list was published as part of his circular Easter Letter in 367. After the list of canonical books he names the others (but not First and Second Maccabees) as "not received as canonical but having been appointed by the Fathers to be read to those just beginning in the faith and wishing to be instructed in the word of godliness." See English text.
Gregory of Nazianzus was the bishop of Constantinople from 378 to 382. His list is given in metrical verse. It includes only the books of the Hebrew canon, and makes no mention of the other books. See English text.
Amphilocius of Iconium was bishop of that city (in Galatia). His list, also in meter, is preserved by Gregory. After it he writes, "some add Esther." See English text.
Epiphanius was bishop of Salamis (on the isle of Cyprus) from 367 to 402. He lists only the Hebrew books as canonical, but mentions Ecclesiastes and Wisdom as "near to them in substance." See English text.
The Stichometry of Nicephorus is given as an appendix to the Chronography of Nicephorus of Constantinople, to which it was probably attached about the middle of the ninth century. It is, however, considerably older than this and may date back to about the sixth century. It gives a list of canonical and apocryphal books of the Old and New Testaments together with the number of stichoi or lines which each book contained. Under the heading of Old Testament "disputed" books it gives, besides the ones indicated on the chart, Third Maccabees and the Psalms and Odes of Solomon.
The Synopsis of Sacred Scripture was traditionally ascribed to Athanasius, but most scholars now agree that it cannot be earlier than the sixth century. The books indicated on the chart are all those listed under the heading antilegomena, "disputed books." See Greek text.
Leontius was a writer against heresies. He resided first in Byzantium and later entered a monastery near Jerusalem. His list includes only the books of the Hebrew canon.
The so-called List of the Sixty Books is found attached to certain manuscripts of the Questions and Responses of Anastasius of Sinai (c. 650) and is probably from about the same time. In it nine books are named as lying "outside the sixty." Besides the ones shown on the table, Third and Fourth Maccabees are named in this inferior class. After that, there follows a list of disapproved books under the heading "apocrypha."
John of Damascus was an eminent theologian of the Eastern Church, born in Damascus, but a monk in Jerusalem for most of his adult life. His list is adopted from the writings of Epiphanius. See English text.
2. Syrian Greek Authorities
The list of the Apostolic Canons is one of many additions made by the final editor of an ancient Syrian book of church order called the Apostolic Constitutions. The whole document purports to be from the apostles, but this imposture is not taken seriously by any scholar today. Nevertheless, the work is useful as evidence for the opinions current in at least part of the Syrian church towards the end of the fourth century. The list of canonical books was probably added about the year 380. The list mentions three books of the Maccabees. Judith is not found in some manuscripts. Ecclesiasticus is recommended as useful for catechumens. See English text.
3. Latin Authorities
Hilary of Poitiers was bishop of that city (in Gaul). He lists only the Hebrew books, but mentions that some add Tobit and Judith. See English text.
The Cheltenham list is a catalog of uncertain date contained in a tenth-century Latin manuscript of miscellaneous content, probably from Africa. See English text.
Rufinus was an elder of Aquileia in northeast Italy. He lists only the Hebrew books as fully canonical, and lists the others as belonging to an inferior class of books which are commonly read but which are not to be relied upon "for the confirmation of doctrine." See Latin text with translation.
Jerome was born near Aquileia, lived in Rome for a time, and spent most of his later life in Syria and Palestine. He was no doubt the most learned churchman of his times, and was commissioned by the bishop of Rome to produce an authoritative Latin version (the Vulgate). In his Preface to the Old Testament historical books he gives his list, which includes only the Hebrew books, and he relegates all of the others of the Septuagint to the "Apocrypha." These books are to be read, he says, "for the edification of the people, but not as authority for the confirmation of doctrine." See Latin text with translation.
Augustine, the bishop of Hippo (in a Roman colony on the northern coast of Africa), is the first major figure in the Church to set forth a list which includes all of the disputed books without making any distinction between the fully canonical Hebrew books and the lesser books derived from the Septuagint. See Latin text with translation.
The Third Council of Carthage was not a general council but a regional council of African bishops. Augustine was at that time very prominent among them, and their canon resembles the one given by Augustine in his treatise On Christian Doctrine. At the end of the list there is however a qualifying statement: "Let this also be made known to our brother and fellow bishop, Boniface of Rome, or to other bishops of those parts, for the confirmation of this canon; for we have learned from the Fathers that we should read these in church." See Latin text with translation.
The Codex Claromontanus is a Greek and Latin manuscript of the epistles of Paul from the sixth century. In this manuscript between Philemon and Hebrews there is a Latin list of the books of the Bible, which is thought to be copied from a fourth century source. See English text.
Innocent I ("the first" of that name to be called pope) was the bishop of Rome. In 405 he sent in a letter to the bishop of Toulouse a list like that of Augustine. See Latin text with translation.
The Decree of Gelasius (Decretum Gelasianum) is traditionally attributed to Gelasius, bishop of Rome from 492 to 496, and was thought to be promulgated by him as the president of a council of 70 bishops held in Rome. but it is now generally regarded as spurious, probably composed or revised by an Italian churchman in the sixth century. See English text.
Cassiodorus was the learned founder of two monasteries near Squillace (southern Italy). His list appears in the encyclopedia of sacred literature he compiled for his monks, in which he also respectfully gives the catalog of Jerome.
Isidore of Seville was archbishop of that city (in Spain), where he founded a school. His list appears in an encyclopedia he compiled for his students, in which he also gives the catalogs of Jerome and Augustine. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUeBw5ixsDMDLI84i2 | La Vía Layetana (en catalán y oficialmente Via Laietana) es una calle de Barcelona (España) que comunica el Ensanche con el puerto atravesando la Ciudad Vieja. Su nombre está dedicado a los primeros habitantes íberos de la zona.
Historia
Fue diseñada inicialmente por Ildefonso Cerdá en 1859 para enlazar de forma directa el nuevo barrio del Ensanche, que se perfilaba dentro del plan Cerdá con el puerto, vía de comunicación principal en el siglo XIX. Pero el Plan Cerdá se centró en el crecimiento fuera de las murallas y no fue hasta en 1899 que se volvió a impulsar con la aprobación del Plan de Reforma Interior de Àngel Baixeras.
La entrada política de la Lliga Regionalista de Francisco Cambó, la demanda de comunicación de la burguesía instalada en el Ensanche y la preocupación por controlar los alborotadores dentro de una red densa de calles, hizo recuperar el proyecto y en 1907 se acordó el financiamiento con el Banco Hispano Colonial, predecesor del Banco Central, que se hizo construir el primer edificio de la nueva vía, obra de Enric Sagnier quien también tomó parte activa en el desarrollo de la obra como arquitecto representante del banco financiero.
Las obras fueron inauguradas por el rey Alfonso XIII y el presidente Antonio Maura el 10 de marzo de 1908. La construcción se dividió en tres tramos:
1908-1909 Entre el puerto y la plaza del Ángel, a cargo de Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
1909-1911 Entre la plaza del Ángel y la calle Sant Pere Més Baix, a cargo de Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
1911-1913 Entre Sant Pere Més Baix y la plaza Urquinaona, a cargo de Ferran Romeu. La porción que va desde la plaza Urquinaona hasta la calle Jonqueres, ya existía con el trazado actual y con el nombre de Bilbao.
El derribo supuso abrir una brecha de 80 metros de ancho y unos 900 de largo. Esta reforma comportó la destrucción de 2199 casas y muchos palacios medievales, afectando a unas diez mil personas. A pesar de las protestas de los vecinos, de artistas y personajes como el arquitecto y conservador Jeroni Martorell, se perdieron lugares como el palacio del marqués de Monistrol, el palacio del marqués de Sentmenat (del cual Martorell salvó una vidriera que utilizó en la restauración de la Casa de los canónigos) o los conventos de San Sebastián y el de San Juan de Jerusalén que guardaba la tumba de Pau Claris. Algunos, sin embargo, se salvaron al ser trasladados a otro lugar, este es el caso de la Casa Padellás del siglo XV-XVI, ubicada originalmente en la calle Mercaders a la altura de donde se encuentra el edificio del Fomento del Trabajo Nacional y que fue trasladada en 1931 a la plaza del Rey, donde actualmente aloja el Museo de Historia de Barcelona. Otro ejemplo de edificio rescatado fue la fachada barroca de la iglesia de Santa Marta, obra de 1737-1747, proyectada por Miquel Bover y esculpida por Carles Grau. Estaba situada en la riera de Sant Joan y Lluís Domènech i Montaner la desmontó y reubicó en uno de los pabellones del Hospital de la Santa Cruz y San Pablo que estaba construyendo en 1911.
Por otro lado la obra tuvo algunos efectos secundarios positivos. El derribo hizo visible y valorable el patrimonio arquitectónico de las murallas romanas y de los edificios góticos que rodean la plaza del Rey y llegan hasta la catedral. El esponjamiento posterior de la plaza de la Catedral y Santa Catalina debido a la destrucción por los bombardeos de la guerra civil, han acabado de dar la fisonomía del barrio gótico. Otra ventaja aprovechada fue la construcción soterrada de los túneles para hacer pasar el metro, iniciativa impulsada por el arquitecto municipal Pere Falqués con la oposición de los políticos, y que tendría sus frutos cuando fue inaugurado en 1926.
La nueva vía, tal como estaba previsto, supuso la creación de una nueva imagen de Barcelona. El estilo arquitectónico de la escuela de Chicago influyó en el tipo de construcción, principalmente dedicada a edificios oficiales y espacios de oficinas, ocupados mayoritariamente por empresas de logística y exportación, en el Ensanche.
Durante la guerra civil española (1936-1939) recibió el nombre de Vía Durruti por el dirigente anarquista Buenaventura Durruti, muerto en el frente.
En 2023, cuando se remodelaba esta calle, se desenterró una tumba romana del siglo V, con los restos mortales de lo que parecía ser un hombre robusto de entre treinta y sesentaicinco años.

Bei seiner Entfernung entspricht dies einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 22 km/s, während er sich zusätzlich mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 3 km/s auf uns zu bewegt. Im Raum bewegt sich der Stern demnach mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 22,5 km/s relativ zu unserer Sonne.
Der Hauptstern des Systems ist ein weißer Hauptreihenstern (Spektralklasse A7 V) mit 1,85-fachem Durchmesser, 1,5-facher Masse und 8,5-facher Leuchtkraft der Sonne. Bei seinem Begleiter handelt es sich möglicherweise um einen orangen Stern (Spektralklasse K5) mit 1,56-fachem Durchmesser und 0,56-facher Masse der Sonne, der ihn in einem engen Abstand von etwa dem dreifachen Radius des Hauptsterns umkreist.
Wissenschaftliche Untersuchung
Das Spektrum des Sterns zeigt Besonderheiten, nach denen er als abnormer Metalllinien-Stern (Am-Stern) klassifiziert wurde. Es zeigt Metalllinien wie ein F0-Stern, Wasserstofflinien der Balmer-Serie wie ein F1 V-Stern und Calcium-Linien wie ein A4-Stern. Für die projizierte äquatoriale Rotationsgeschwindigkeit v∙sin i wurde ein Wert von 93 km/s gefunden.

BkiUb3TxK1yAgWt79E_Y | Shostakovich: Quartets 2, 7, 8 / Pavel Haas Quarte
PAVEL HAAS QUARTET
Shostakovich – his music is a challenge each and every quartet sooner or later has to face up to. Yet when it comes to the Pavel Haas Quartet, it seems to be in their very DNA. The ensemble's unbridled, impulsive and, now and then, frenetic energy, sense for extreme contrast, ability to bring to bear gradation from breath-taking subtlety and tenderness to symphonic drama are facets essentially incident to Shostakovich's music. Although composed in safety, away from the horrors of World War II, String Quartet No. 2 (1944) reflects the suffering, uncertainty and anxiety of living at the time (the lyrical Recitative of the second movement, as performed by Veronika Jarušková, the first violin). Both dating from 1960, String Quartets Nos. 7 and 8 are truly intimate confessions. While Shostakovich dedicated the former (the shortest piece of the cycle) to the memory of his first wife, he most likely intended the latter as his own epitaph, at the time when be hovered on the thin line between life and death. Attesting to the autobiographical nature of String Quartet No. 8 is the opening DSCH motif, Shostakovich's musical signature, which reoccurs throughout the piece. The Pavel Haas Quartet surpass the abyss of time, as well as the barrier of personal physical existence, delving into the very centre of Shostakovich's music and reflecting the full scale of emotions with airiness, as if the music were their own. The Pavel Haas Quartet and (in truth) their Shostakovich. At long last! | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

Want More 'Star Wars'? Here Are 5 Of The Best Comics
By: Joe Mortimer
CelebrityCultureDaily Delight
Cover Art via Marvel
Star Wars is one of those properties that is just in our blood at this point. It's infected us. We're exposed to it in every form of media. As a lifelong "Wars" fan I can assure you of one thing, the films will always leave you wanting more.
The Last Jedi will be no exception. You will have strong feelings about it one way or another, but you will want more Wars! Luckily there are enough comic books out there to fill a Star Destroyer, and these are some to get you started.
Quick note: So, the Star Wars canon is kind of dicey. Before Disney bought Lucasfilm, more or less everything produced that had the "Star Wars" name on it was considered canon. But after the Disney buyout, what was once called the Expanded Universe has been deemed non-canon and is now considered and branded as "Star Wars: Legends." This however does not negate or diminish the quality and impact of these amazing stories.

Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron
Cover via Marvel
Originally published by Dark Horse Comics, this was my introduction to Star Wars comics and it still holds up to this very day. Although now considered non-canon, this series picks up directly after the events of the Battle of Endor and Return of the Jedi.
The series follows Rogue Leader and Rebel hero Wedge Antilles and his wingmen Wes Janson and Tycho Celchu. With loads of space battles and dogfights, this series is action packed, but also character-driven at the same time. (Force Facts: Denis Lawson who plays Wedge Antilles in the Star Wars films is the uncle of Ewan McGregor who went on to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Prequel Trilogy)
Star Wars Tales
For those not interested in longform story arcs, this is the book for you. Tales was a quarterly anthology series originally published by Dark Horse. Instead of focusing on any particular character, Tales featured stories for all of them. From Darth Vader to the broken astromech droid that Luke and Uncle Owen almost bought from the Jawas in A New Hope, everyone has a tale to tell and it's all told in Tales.
Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy
Consisting of 6 issues for each chapter and successfully stealing my heart as a Wars fan, this 18-issue series was (and still is IMO) the gold standard for Star Wars stories taking place after Return of the Jedi. Though it's no longer canon, for me and many other fans of the expanded universe this is the spiritual successor to the original Star Wars Trilogy.
Star Wars Legacy
Set around 100 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, this series follows the exploits of Cade Skywalker. Cade, a descendant of Luke's, ignores his Jedi heritage and becomes a space pirate/bounty hunter. Legacy makes for a really cool story about a reluctant hero that can't escape his destiny.
Darth Vader (2015-2016)
This is the only canon book on this list and oh how I really wanted to dislike it. What I love about Darth Vader is that he's a mysterious and powerful presence. Then the Prequels came and answered all the questions nobody was asking, like "who was Vader before he was Vader?"… nobody cares.
Thinking this book would paint him to be a standard cartoon villain twirling his mustache as his plans were foiled by those meddling kids and their pet Wookie, I couldn't have been more wrong. This book lets the supporting cast do most of the talking and let's Vader be Vader. Throughout the story he's this unstoppable force of nature. A mysterious and powerful presence throughout this 25-issue run (more if you include the crossover Vader Down, which you should!) Kieron Gillen created an absolute masterpiece with this series.

So, these are some of my favorites. Some are canon while others aren't, but they're incredible stories and can transport you back into the Star Wars Universe at lightspeed.

What You Should Read Before Seeing 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdXk4ubng4IUB1E2i | This tutorial helps you get up and running with your first assessment. We'll stick with default settings in most cases in order to keep it simple and straightforward. Let's get started!
When you first log into your new account, you will see your assessment dashboard, with only your sample assessments listed so far.
Now we need to decide if we want a "Simple" or "Type-Based" assessment.
A simple assessment is just that — each question in your assessment is assigned a score value. At the end of the assessment, those scores are added up to arrive at an overall score for the assessment. If this sounds like what you need, you can click "Simple" in the "Create Assessment" dialog and then skip to the "Setup" section of the tutorial below.
If not, keep reading to find out about Type-based assessments.
A type-based assessment allows you to give your users multiple scores for a single assessment. You create types or categories in your assessment, and the score for each question is assigned to one of those types. After the user has answered all of the questions, they will receive a separate score for each category.
To create a type based assessment, click "Type-Based" in the Create Assessment dialog.
Now you will see the assessment editor with five tabs across the top where you will create your assessment. When creating a new assessment you can go through each of these tabs from left to right.
This is where you tell Assessment Generator how you want your assessment to work. We'll leave most of these settings in their default state, but we do want to customize the title, header, and footer of the assessment.
Click into the Title field on the Setup tab and enter a title for your assessment. Next, we'll edit the Assessment Header. When you hover over this field, you'll see an "edit" link in the lower left corner of the field, which you can click to edit your assessment header. You'll see this behavior throughout Assessment Generator.
When you click "edit," a popup window will appear that shows a text editor. You can use this tool to enter and format text so that your assessment looks just right. For now, double click the text "New Assessment" to select it and enter the title of your assessment. Double-click the new text and select "24" in the Size dropdown menu in the formatting toolbar. Click Save to save your changes.
Next, modify your assessment footer by following the same process for that field.
For more details, please see Setting Up Your Assessment in our User Guide].
Near the bottom of the Setup tab, you'll see a section titled Social Media. This section is only available in paid accounts. Here you determine how the link to your assessment appears when you or your users post it on social media. For now, we'll leave the defaults in place.
You can find more information about Configuring Social Media Preferences in our User Guide.
Click "Save" in the upper right-hand corner of the assessment editor, above the tabs. Now let's add some questions to the assessment!
If you selected a Simple assessment, you won't see a Types tab. Please skip to the Questions section below.
On the Types tab, click "Add Type". Enter a name, and in the Type Description text editor, enter the content that you would like to show to users who score highest in this type. Click Save, then click Add Type to create your next type.
For example, if you are creating an assessment to help users determine which of your products is best for them, your types might be Product A, Product B, and Product C. In the Type Description for each type, you would provide a description of that product and why it is most suitable.
When users take your assessment, their results will include the type description of the type in which they scored highest (or you can choose to show all of your type descriptions).
For more information, please check out Creating Your Types for a Type-Based Assessment.
When you click the Questions tab, you'll see fields for "Assessment Instructions" and "Footer on Questions Pages," and an "Add Question" button. Click the Add Question button.
Yes/No or True/False Question. These are also called "Binary" Questions because only 2 possible answers are available and they are usually polar opposites. You can change the labels (and scoring) as desired.
Scale Question. These are questions where the response is chosen from a range of values, often 1-5 or 1-10. The range values and labels and labels can be set as desired. For scale ranges less than or equal to 5, you can also choose to display these questions with either a slider or a set of buttons.
Options Question. These are sometimes known as multiple choice questions where the user is asked to choose the best answer from several possible answers that are listed. It is possible to allow users to select more than one answer if appropriate. Each option can be assigned unique score values and can be assigned to separate types.
Checkbox Question. This question type asks users to check the box if the corresponding question applies to them. The point value for this question type can be set as desired.
Narrative Question. This question type asks users to enter a typed, narrative answer to a question. This question type is used to provide qualitative information and does not contribute a score to assessments.
When creating questions for a type-based assessment, you can assign the point values for each question to one of your types in the Assign to Type dropdown menu.
On the Style tab, you can set the colors of various elements of your assessment. Use these settings to make your assessment match your brand image.
Check out Styling Your Assessment for more details.
If you're working on a Type-based assessment, you won't see a scoring tab – skip to the Results section below.
Here you can define the custom responses your users receive depending on how they score.
Enter text to show users who fall into the "Poor Sleeper" category and click Save.
With Automatic Scoring, Assessment Generator sets the score range for this score interpretation to the entire possible range of scores (1-10) for this assessment. Now let's create another interpretation and see how this changes.
Create one more score interpretation, and notice that the score ranges are recalculated again. You don't have to create your interpretation bands in the correct order. If you click and drag one of the score bands and drop it into another location, it will receive new score values based on its location in the list.
To customize your scoring bands, click the Automatic / Manual scoring switch and you'll be able to set your own score ranges for each interpretation.
For more details, please check out Scoring Your Simple Assessment.
This is where you define whether and how to collect user's information before they get their results, how their results are delivered, and who gets notified when someone takes your assessment.

BkiUdRjxK03BfJXwwn8y | Philippine PPP Policy Gets a Boost from ADB's $300 Million Loan
The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Board of Directors has approved a $300 million policy-based loan to support the Philippines' efforts to strengthen the framework under which the private sector can participate in the government's "Build, Build, Build" (BBB) infrastructure development program.
Government reforms supported by ADB under the Expanding Private Participation in Infrastructure Program (EPPIP) subprogram 2 seek to create the enabling policy environment that will allow public-private partnership (PPP) projects to flourish using private sector expertise and innovation.
"PPPs can raise the quality of life for citizens by providing reliable public services through efficient infrastructure. Reforms under the EPPIP program have been successful in stimulating the PPP market and improving the quality of infrastructure projects in the Philippines," said ADB Senior Trade Specialist Ms. Cristina Lozano.
With its fast-growing economy, archipelagic geography, expanding population, and rapid urbanization, the Philippine government aims to raise infrastructure investments to 7.4% of gross domestic product by 2022 from 5.1% in 2016.
The BBB program, part of the medium-term Philippine Development Plan, is estimated to require a total $168 billion in investments for 75 high-impact priority projects nationwide. To finance this, the government wants to use an optimal funding mix composed of government spending, official development assistance, and private capital.
ADB has been supporting reforms that have helped ensure sustainable funding for government direct and contingent support to PPPs, improve long-term infrastructure planning, strengthen the government's capacity to manage the PPP program, and enhance the legal framework for PPP preparation, approval, and implementation.
Reforms also helped facilitate the use of PPPs by local government units (LGUs) as an alternative in pursuing infrastructure development. The government-run PPP Center provided support to LGUs to develop and implement PPP projects in priority sectors such as water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, and urban transport.
"The Philippines has made significant progress since the PPP program was launched in late 2010," said ADB Country Director for the Philippines Mr. Kelly Bird. "With a huge project pipeline being rolled out under the BBB program of President Rodrigo Duterte, leveraging public resources via private sector participation remains relevant."
Since 2010, the government has awarded a total of 16 national PPP projects worth around $6.2 billion, of which 12 were tendered and awarded during the implementation of EPPIP. Feasibility studies for six projects were also completed during the program period.
Classified in 2011 as an emerging country in terms of PPP readiness, the Philippines now ranks seventh in the overall ranking, joining India, Japan, and the Republic of Korea in the group of developed PPP markets, according to the 2014 Infrascope report of The Economist Intelligence Unit. The PPP market review conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development considers the Philippine PPP framework a success.

Friction Between United States & Iran: The Tension and Its Impact
With support from the World Bank, in June 2022, Tunisia launched its first report on the status of the blue economy. The report, titled in French "L'économie bleue en Tunisie: Opportunité pour un développement intégré et durable de la mer et des zones côtières" (The Blue Economy in Tunisia: An Opportunity for Integrated and Sustainable Development of the Sea and Coastal Areas), recommends initial guidelines for a national strategy in this area. Spearheaded by the Ministry of the Environment and the Secretariat General for Maritime Affairs, the report is the product of extensive consultation with stakeholders in the blue economy, including the public and private sectors, researchers, and various civil society organizations.
Tunisia has more than 1,300 km of coastline. Its coastal areas are home to 7.6 million people (more than 66% of its population) who depend heavily on coastal and marine resources for their livelihoods. The report identifies avenues for sustainable development of the blue economy through tourism, fishing and aquaculture, maritime transport, ocean-based renewable energy, marine biotechnology, and other activities.
"The blue economy offers an opportunity for sustainable development and wealth creation for Tunisia through sustainable use of marine and coastal resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and healthy marine and coastal ecosystems," said Alexandre Arrobbio, World Bank Country Manager for Tunisia. "I welcome the Government's commitment to developing the blue economy in Tunisia as part of its next development plan," he added.
The report identifies three strategic objectives: (i) promotion of economic growth of maritime activities (ii) social inclusion and gender equality, and (iii) sustainability of natural resources and ecosystem services. To achieve these objectives, five areas of intervention are proposed: establishment of institutional governance; promotion of resources and financing mechanisms; support for job creation, poverty alleviation, the inclusion of vulnerable groups, and gender mainstreaming; development of knowledge of marine and coastal capital; and strengthening of resilience to climate change.
Following the publication of this report, the Tunisian Government and the World Bank will continue their cooperation for the development of the blue economy in Tunisia. The World Bank has mobilized the PROBLUE Trust Fund to undertake the second phase of technical assistance, supporting a roadmap for the development of the blue economy in Tunisia. In the second phase of assistance to Tunisia, the Bank will conduct analyses and offer advice on institutional policies and promotion of public and private investment, in addition to providing support for strategic and operational dialogue with relevant stakeholders.
Ghana Begins Receiving Payments for Reducing Carbon Emissions in Forest Landscapes
Ghana has become the second country in Africa after Mozambique to receive payments from a World Bank trust fund for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, commonly known as REDD+. The World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) paid Ghana $4,862,280 for reducing 972,456 tons of carbon emissions for the first monitoring period under the program (June to December 2019).
"This payment is the first of four under the country's Emission Reductions Payment Agreement (ERPA) with the World Bank to demonstrate potential for leveraging results based payments for carbon credits," said Pierre Laporte, World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. "Subject to showing results from actions taken to reduce deforestation, Ghana is eligible to receive up to $50 million for 10 million tons of CO2 emissions reduced by the end of 2024."
These actions are within a six-million-hectare stretch of the West Africa Guinean Forest, where biodiversity and forests are under pressure from cocoa farming and unsustainable harvesting, and small-scale mining. Ghana is one of 15 countries that have signed ERPAs with the World Bank.
"The many years of dialogue, consultations, and negotiations with local communities, traditional authorities, government agencies, private sector, CSOs, and NGOs have paid off," said Samuel A. Jinapor, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources. "This emission reductions payment will further promote confidence in Ghana's REDD+ process for action to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while empowering local community livelihoods. The road to global 1.5 degrees cannot be achieved without healthy standing forests, and Ghana is committed to making it possible."
Ghana is the world's second-largest cocoa producer. Cocoa drives the economy, but it is also one of the main causes of deforestation and forest degradation in the southeast and western regions of the country. Stakeholders are working to help some 140,000 Ghanaian farmers increase cocoa production using climate-smart agro-forestry approaches, rather than slash and burn land-clearing techniques that decimate forests. More sustainable cocoa farming helps avoid expansion of cocoa farms into forest lands and secures more predictable income streams for communities.
Ghana's Cocoa Board is participating in the REDD+ process, as are some of the most important cocoa and chocolate companies in the world, including World Cocoa Foundation members like Mondelēz International, Olam, Touton, and others. Their combined actions are not only helping bring change to the cocoa sector, but they are also helping Ghana meet its national emissions reductions commitments under the Paris Agreement. This level of collaboration is also reflected in the benefit sharing plan underpinning Ghana's' ERPA with the World Bank. Prepared through extensive consultations with local stakeholders and civil society organizations throughout the country, the plan ensures all participating stakeholders are fairly recognized and rewarded for their role in reducing emissions. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

More My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance returning to the stage this evening marks the first time since breaking up March 22, 2013. After releasing their last album, Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, Nov. 22, 2010, MCR played what would be their final show May 19, 2012 at Bamboozle in their home state of New Jersey.
The band weren't originally scheduled to play Bamboozle, taking over for blink-182 10 days out after they canceled their festival slot and North American tour. Drummer Travis Barker had to undergo an emergency tonsillectomy, and MCR stepped in to fill the spot, performing before Foo Fighters on the main stage.
The band played alongside other acts such as A$AP Rocky, Emmure, the All-American Rejects, DJ Pauly D, Iggy Azalea, the Maine, Never Shout Never, Jimmy Eat World, Motion City Soundtrack, Anti-Flag and more.

BkiUeMXxK7Ehm2ZQ1JCx | Describing the indescribable: the sound of liftoff
Posted on July 18, 2011 by robpegoraro
As a student of the English language, I appreciate the challenge of trying to describe something that readers haven't experienced. It's an honor to have your words serve as your audience's senses, and you don't want to let them down.
Over the last week, I've been observing many writers tackle a particularly difficult task of description: conveying what it's like to hear the space shuttle lift off.
Having been privileged to witness that twice, I can assure you that no recording does it justice. (I saw Endeavour lift off in May as an attendee of the Tweetup NASA organized for that STS-134 mission, then returned this month with a press pass to write about the STS-135 Tweetup experience at Atlantis's final launch for Discovery News and, in an article I need to finish writing, for ReadWriteWeb.)
The microphones on a lot of consumer-level gadgets are woefully inadequate to capture the finer points of nearly 7 million pounds of thrust erupting from only three miles away. But even the best audio gear available can't recreate the feel of the shock waves blasted through the air by that energy, rushing up at spectators and thumping them in the chest. You'd have to set off explosives; pending the Air and Space Museum's IMAX theater acquiring an ordnance budget and a long series of regulatory waivers, words will have to do.
Which words, though? Although the immediate reaction of many Tweetup attendees was that none would suffice, they found their own in the days after the launch.
Sarah Boots:
It feels like soundwaves hitting you, more than it feels like hearing something. It was completely mad.
Travis Senor:
THE SOUND! It came at us like a wave, which you could almost see coming, and hit with enough force to act on us as though we were trees bowing in the wind.
Jason Snell (you may also know him as Macworld's editorial director):
a loud crackling sound as the air was shattered by the forces of the shuttle's three main engines and its two solid rocket boosters.
A friend on Facebook tried this:
an intense crackling, like someone shaking a metal sheet.
Jason Major:
a growing rumble that culminated in a deep, flapping roar that you could feel as much as hear.
Among the assembled press, Ars Technica's Jonathan M. Gitlin may have had the most creative description:
The first analogy I could think of was a washing machine full of rocks mixed over the sound of tearing giant sheets of canvas.
And me? Here's how I described it in May:
a relentless, thunderous crackling, rumbling across the sky and through our shirts
But when I wrote an e-mail to my wife the day after the liftoff of Atlantis, I reached for a metaphor:
like fireworks erupting closer and closer and faster and faster until they're pounding you in the chest.
I'm sad that nobody else will be able to experience this. But how we reached that point is a subject for another post.
Until then: If you've had the tremendous fortune to witness a launch from up close, how would you describe that sound?
Okay, maybe one recording does convey what it's like to hear a launch–by focusing on the emotions of people watching it. STS-134 Tweetup attendee Tricia McKinney had the smart idea of aiming her iPhone away from Pad 39A and so captured some wonderfully human reactions as Endeavour raced into the sky.

Hell, yes. I cannot think of a more compelling demonstration of the laws of physics.
Bill Riski on July 18, 2011 at 10:39 pm said:
Great post. Especially like the video at the end. How right you were to pass along the emotion of it all via others reactions, and how generous of Tricia to do this. I have mixed emotions about seeing a space shuttle launch.
I went to an Apollo launch as a college student, lived on the Space Coast of Florida and saw many launches; some up close, most from my house or office window. And as it got pretty regular, I almost skipped getting up from my desk and walking a few feet to the window in January of 1986. I remember standing next to my boss; a bit isolated from the sound, and holding my breath as the contrail took an unusual turn. He said, 'what's up with that?' I replied, 'I think they are turning around.' So naive, but hoping for the best as the unthinkable started to drift through the halls. Left work soon after that Challenger launch and cried all the way home.
The human price of exploration. Let's hope we continue to have amongst us those that are willing to take such a journey.

BkiUdzU5qsJBjpijFp5E | 1,264 people lost their lives to a preventable fatal drug overdose in 2019
1,264 people tragically lost their lives to a preventable drug overdose in Scotland last year.
The statistics, published by National Records of Scotland, show the toll is 6% higher than 2018, and the highest since records began in 1996.
Scotland's drug death rate is now 3 ½ times higher than the rest of the UK and is higher than that reported for any other EU country.
Key points of the report include:
94% of all drug-related deaths were of people who took more than one substance.
More people than ever before died of an overdose involving opiates. There were 1092 deaths involving opiates – 86% of total. The number of deaths involving heroin / morphine increased to 645; the number of deaths involving methadone was the same as in the previous year.
More people than ever before died of an overdose involving benzodiazepines. There were 814 deaths involving 'street' benzos like etizolam – 64% of total. The number of deaths involving 'prescribable benzos' was 195.
More people than ever before died of an overdose involving cocaine. There were 365 deaths involving cocaine – 29% of total. 51 deaths involved amphetamine – more than any other year.
Alcohol was implicated in 11% of total deaths, the second highest rate ever recorded.
Over two-thirds (68%) of all drug-related deaths were of people aged between 35 and 54, 69 more deaths than in 2018.
There was a 19% increase in 15-24 year olds who experienced a fatal drug overdose.
The Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board area had the highest number of deaths (404), followed by Lanarkshire (163), Lothian (155), Tayside (118) and Ayrshire and Arran (108).
The following are significant factors in understanding these statistics:
Compared with the rest of the UK, Scotland has a high number of people with an opiate-based drug problem (1.1% of the population have a drug problem involving opiates and/or benzodiazepines).
Compared with the rest of the UK, Scotland has a low number of people in drug treatment – only 35-40% of people with a drug problem are in treatment.
Waits for opioid substitution therapy are over six months in some areas of Scotland. New Standards aspire to providing same-day prescribing.
In Scotland, a large proportion of people on opioid substitution therapy are on sub-optimal dose of methadone or buprenorphine in contravention of clinical guidelines and recommendation of the World Health Organisation.

President of Armenia informs about his decision to resign
President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian informed about his decision to resign, the press service of the President's Office stated.
STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 23, ARTSAKHPRESS: "In the early 1990s, as a result of great geopolitical changes, our people were given the greatest opportunity to create their own independent state. Our mission was not to replace one flag with another, but to build a country that after centuries would ensure the security, progress, and prosperity of Armenians again.
I emphasize that the main meaning of having an independent state is the ability to assume and bear responsibility, when we realize that only we, as a single body, are the builder of our own victories, the culprit of our own defeats.
Inspired by such a historic opportunity, I, like many of my compatriots, dedicated myself to that mission. For various reasons, my participation at various stages varied, but I did not stop believing in our ultimate national success. And that was my main motivation for agreeing to assume the post of the President of Armenia.
Making this important decision, I was relying on the proposal made to me, according to which the new presidential institution will have tools, opportunities to influence foreign policy, economic, investment policy, relations with the Diaspora, as well as to promote national interests in the international arena, create new scientific - educational and a high-tech environment.
Some time later the developments of April-May of 2018 took place…
One can ask why I did not resign at that time? The answer is obvious, because of the responsibility I assumed as the President of the Republic. I was obliged to do everything in my power to rule out further deepening of the internal division, possible clashes, which could lead to extremely negative consequences. I also sought to use my reputation and connections gained throughout my many years of work, my international political and economic potential to build a strong, stable state.
Again, another question may arise why the President failed to influence the political events that led us to the current national crisis. The reason is obvious again - the lack of appropriate tools, tools with which any state official is endowed by only one document - the Constitution. The roots of some of our important problems are hidden in the current Mother of all Laws.
We have a paradoxical situation when the President has to be a guarantor of statehood without actually having any real tool. The Constitution also presupposes the supremacy of one institution over another, creates obstacles for well-known Diaspora specialists to participate in the management of state institutions of their historical Homeland, and so on.
We are a parliamentary republic in its form, but not in content. The purpose of my proposal was not to move from one model of government to another (parliamentary to semi-presidential or presidential), but to create a state system based on checks and balances. Without that, it is difficult to talk about significant achievements, because progress and success can be achieved only in the conditions of a predictable, harmonious system.
I am glad that a commission for constitutional amendments has been set up, for which I thank the Government. I hope that eventually the constitutional changes will take place, and the next president and the presidential institution will be able to work in a more balanced, coordinated environment.
We live in a unique reality, a reality where the President cannot influence matters of war or peace.
Reality, where he cannot veto the laws that he considers inexpedient for the state and the people.
Reality, when the President's opportunities are perceived not as an advantage for the state, but as a threat by various political groups.
A reality where the President is unable to use most of his potential to solve systemic domestic and foreign policy problems.
A reality where the world is in a constant turbulence zone, but the President does not have a constitutional tool to help his country.
A reality where the Head of State, sometimes his family, is targeted by various political groups. The latter are not so much interested in the achievements of the presidential institution for the benefit of the country as in my past, various conspiracy theories and myths. This "concern" towards me goes beyond morality, ultimately directly affecting my health.
I have been pondering for a long time, I have decided to resign from the post of the President of the Republic after working actively for about four years.
That decision is not emotional at all, it stems from a certain logic.
The President does not have the necessary tools to influence the radical processes of domestic and foreign policy in these difficult times for the country and the nation.
At this difficult time for our state, when national unity is needed, the presidential institution should not be the target of gossip and conspiracy theories, thus diverting public attention from the most important issues.
Today, more than ever, we need meaningful, well-thought-out actions. Otherwise, we, the Armenians of the whole world, will not achieve the goal of our mission, we will find ourselves in the margins of history.
We have no right to make mistakes anymore!
In the end, I would like to express my special gratitude to our citizens, our compatriots in the Diaspora, for their perseverance, endurance, patience and courage in these difficult times for the country.
Special thanks to the soldiers and officers of our brave army, my homage to the families of the heroes who sacrificed their lives for our Motherland.
I also thank all the staff of the Office of the President of the Republic, my colleagues in state structures for the effective joint work", reads the President's message.

George Foreman knows a thing or two about fighting far from home. On October 30, 1974, he fought Muhammad Ali in an open-air ring in Zaire in a bout that was dubbed the "Rumble in the Jungle" and which concluded with Ali ending Foreman's heavyweight title reign and unbeaten record with an eighth-round knockout. Perhaps partly because Foreman's own big overseas adventure didn't exactly work out as planned, the two-time heavyweight champ emphasizes the difficulties Brandon Rios will face after traveling all the way to Macau, China to take on Manny Pacquiao on HBO PPV on Saturday night.

BkiUf6w241xiRac9uSW4 | BENEFITS OF SOLAR FAR OUTWEIGH THE RISKS OF NUCLEAR
Posted by Reece Turner on February 15, 2016
Solar Citizens calls on the South Australian Government to harness the sun to generate low-cost clean energy and kick-start jobs and economic growth rather than becoming a dumping ground for an expensive, toxic nuclear waste.
The findings come as new polling released today shows a majority of voters are more likely to give their vote in the upcoming election to a party supporting ambitious goals and innovation for solar"[1]
The preliminary findings of a Royal Commission into nuclear claim that:
An expansion of uranium mining is "not the most significant opportunity" to develop South Australia's economy
"It would not be commercially viable to generate electricity from a nuclear power plant in South Australia in the foreseeable future."
Storage and disposal of nuclear fuel waste is "likely" to deliver economic benefits to the State.
"We welcome the Commission's findings which shows that nuclear mining and power generation is not the solution for South Australia", said Claire O'Rourke, National Director of Solar Citizens.
"The best way the South Australian Government can support clean energy is supporting households in making the transition to solar energy and reducing people's power bills. The South Australian Government is leading other states with a target of 50% renewable energy by 2025 and has commissioned research which shows it can get to 100% renewable energy as part of its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 "
"One in four households in South Australia now has rooftop solar and the power they generate from the sun supplies about five per cent of the state's energy demand.
"These 190,000 South Australian solar homes are only the beginning of the global solar boom, as affordable, reliable home battery storage places lowering the cost of power bills in reach for the majority of households.
"It is important that the State Government makes sure it adopts policies that encourage further investment in renewables, and the jobs this will create.
"The state's abundant solar resources have already caught the attention of US solar thermal giant SolarReserve, which in November made a bid to build Australia's first-ever solar thermal plant with storage in Port Augusta.

BkiUd9U5qWTBLvDM3ZDE | What's the best healthy habits list?
Why are good healthy habits important for my health?
Want to improve your health, but feeling overwhelmed?
Are you looking for a list of healthy habits worth making?
So, you want to get healthy. Many people want better health and to feel good in their body and lose weight, but it seems so hard. You feel like you have to completely overhaul your diet, get rid of all the indulgences, begin a new fitness regime and basically, change your whole life to be healthy.
It's no wonder people struggle with this!
Nowhere is this truer than in reference to your health. We make so many small daily decisions that affect our physical bodies; it really is our healthy habits and our routines that determine how our body looks and feels.
So, true health comes from small things that we do daily. When we can make these small actions into healthy habits, we will see the change we want to see.
Here's your healthy habit list, with 10 daily habits that you can incorporate into your life right now, for big life-long results. These small healthy habits are how you reach your health and fitness goals.
Research has shown that the number one indicator of health, living without disease, and even weight loss is the number of servings of vegetables a person eats. Pause for a minute and think: How many servings of vegetables did you have today? Yesterday? When you're counting your vegetables, don't include starches, like corn and potatoes. Think of non-starchy veggies, like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.
Vegetables are loaded with nutrition, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Vegetables should be the bulk of your diet by volume. So that means, if you look at your plate, vegetables are most of what you see.
Eating a large volume of food is going to help you feel full. Never worry about eating too many vegetables. If you're hungry, eat vegetables! With EVERY meal, start the healthy habit of eating more vegetables!
The principle of crowding out. This means simply that you eat so much of the good stuff that you're not hungry for the bad stuff.
The next area where we want to focus on is protein. You want the majority of your protein to come from lean protein sources. That's not because fat is bad (fat is great), but because fatty foods are actually classified as fats, not as proteins.
With each meal, eat a minimum of 20-30 grams of protein. What does that look like?
or a serving of salmon, beef, or chicken are a few examples.
Why is protein so important for maintaining a healthy body weight?
Protein takes a lot of energy to digest. In fact, when we eat protein, the first 30% of calories are burned just digesting it! So, say we had a meal with 300 protein calories.
The first 90 calories are used to change the protein to amino acids that our body can digest.
Then, the next 33%, or 70 calories of what is left is used converting the protein into glucose that can be used by the cells.
Then, if our body needed to convert that to body fat, it would take an additional 25% of the calories to do so.
So, more than half of the calories from protein are used up in the digestion process!
That means that when you eat 300 calories of protein, only 105.5 of those calories can even be converted to fat because of the physiological processes of getting it to the cells.
So, basically, eating enough protein actually helps our body to build lean tissue.
Next up are fats. I love my fats! A lot of people are afraid of fats, but don't be scared! Fats are essential for health. Fats fill you up. They make your skin look good. And, eating fat actually helps you lose weight.
Let's talk about how. Whole food fats fill you up and keep you satisfied. What happens is when we eat whole food fats, we're giving our bodies nutritious food and we become full–making it hard to overeat. Because this is real food that our bodies can actually use, we have more energy. Without a sufficient quality and quantity of fat in our diet, we will not feel satisfied. Our bodies will keep sending us signals to find more food to satisfy our hunger. So a major role of fats in the diet is to keep us satisfied.
In a healthy lifestyle, most of your calories come from fat. That's good news because fats taste good and make our other food taste good too! You want to focus on whole food fats, meaning, not just oils, but foods with fat in them. However, you still don't need to be afraid of butter or olive or coconut oil because they can help you eat your vegetables. Not only does that make them taste great, but many vitamins in veggies are also fat-soluble, meaning fats help your body use the vitamins in those vegetables.
Jonathan Bailor recommends 3-6 servings of fats per day. For me, I have found that I don't need to count grams or even servings of fat. Just make sure you're getting in 10 or more servings of vegetables daily (and remember- the more vegetables=the faster you'll see results), 20-30 grams of protein at each meal, and then add fats as desired.
Move every day. Be active. Find something you enjoy doing. I love yoga and walking with friends. The most beneficial exercise for weight loss is HIIT or lowering heavyweights. The most beneficial exercise for you is the one that you will do!
Studies often show that there are different minimum amounts of exercise to see benefits. The big thing to focus on here is to have an active lifestyle.
It all counts! Just move your body! Start a healthy habit of movement today.
This healthy habit is so important! So many of your body's processes are regulated by sleep – your energy levels, hunger signals, satiety signals, and mood.
Get to bed at a reasonable and consistent time, and wake up at a consistent time in the morning.
With all those benefits, sleep is definitely something we need to prioritize! Somethings the healthy habit you can start is shutting it down and just get some sleep. Create a bedtime routine and stick to it.
The 80/20 rule gives you permission to let loose a little bit.
80% of your meals are chosen for health, but with the other 20%, give yourself permission to choose for pleasure. This rule means that you don't have to deprive yourself. You can go out, have fun and enjoy life-all while being healthy and creating the body you want.
This is key to being able to stick to healthy habits for life. When we are too strict or rigid with our diet, it becomes really hard to stick to long-term.
Make time to do those things that recharge you: hot baths, date nights, massage, prayer and meditation, reading, time with friends–whatever allows you that time to reconnect with who you are and come back to daily life refreshed. Lowering your stress will keep you healthier and happier.
An excess of stress negatively affects our health and our weight. When we have an increase of cortisol, often referred to as the stress hormone, we see a corresponding increase in our waist size.
Make a healthy habit of taking time to slow down. You will feel so much better.
It doesn't matter how much weight you lose if you don't feel good about your body. The first step to improving your body image is accepting that you were given this one body. No matter how much you want things to change in it, this is the only body you have.
Once you realize that, you start to see things a little bit differently.
For me, it wasn't until I really began to be grateful for my body that I started to see the changes that I wanted to see.
I suggest writing in a journal all the things you are thankful for about your body. Say them out loud if it helps. Feeling and expressing gratitude for our body increases our feelings of positive body image.
That leads to us wanting to make better choices because we appreciate this body that we have and want to treat it well.
Each day take time to make a habit of loving yourself.
Real Foods are going to be much simpler. If you're not sure if something is a real food or not, it can be helpful to read the ingredient list. A long list of unpronounceable ingredients is not easy for your body to digest. Stick to real food most of the time.
It's not difficult to start eating healthy today when you're focused on real foods.
It can help so much to have someone with you as you work toward a healthier lifestyle who has done it themselves and can answer your questions.

These are some really good tips. I have just started my fitness journey and I am working towards living a healthy lifestyle. I am definitely going to incorporate some of these in my new routine.
I love your blog so much! I always know I can read some next-level inspirational stuff to get me motivated in life!
I know so many people will benefit from this post. So many great motivational tips! I think my favorite is the habit tracker.
I hope so! Health really doesn't have to be hard, and the more we understand that the healthier we will all be.
Awesome tips. I generally aim for 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day and I'm usually able to hit that number. I'll have to work on getting more sleep though. The struggle is real.
It really is though! That's awesome you get in your fruits and veggies. And I bet you'd feel even more amazing if you got in more!
I love this post. It serves as a reminder for me to eat more healthy. I need to eat a lot more veg than I do now.
After reading your blog I got a lot of realizations to myself. From sleeping to the exercise I need. Now I know what's happening to myself.
I'm so glad! It really makes a difference in how you feel.
That is powerful to really being able to stick with changes.
Great tips! A few months ago I started focusing on drinking more water, upping my protein, and adding more veggies into my diet. I feel so much better and have lost weight in the process.
Congrats, I bet that feels good! I love that the things you changed focused on what you are adding to your diet. That is such a great way to make lasting change!
These are some wonderful tips for becoming more healthy. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you start something new, like your diet. I like the idea of the 80-20 rule because you can still indulge every once in awhile. Also, I need to make healthier snacks more readily available instead of all the processed junk in the pantry. Thanks for some motivation!
Thanks! The 80/20 rule has been huge for me, because it lets me have a life!! It's very different than the feeling of being on a diet, you know? It works.
Such great tips you shared. I believe in them and practice most of them. Thank you for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck with starting some new healthy habits.
Great list! All of these are fundamental, but I'd say number 8 is the most important one—we have to take care of ourselves because it's the only body we have, not because we want to change it into something else.
Yes!! And when we do things that help in the short term and hurt long term, we are not remembering that important truth.
I can see why it's difficult for most people to lose weight. I always put on a tiny bit of weight when I go on holiday and I know I need to lose it. But I never get round to doing it!
All awesome tips! I'm glad that I do them all including having a mentor. My highest weight was 230 and I never want to go back there. Mentors and accountability partners keep me on track !
That's so great. I bet you feel good and look amazing.
this is so important especially with our lifestyle today. everything is instant that sometimes we forget being healthy!
Yes, and we often want instant results too.
These habits are essential to living a healthy and balanced life. As much as I love sleeping, I find that I don't get nearly as much as I should. Definitely something to work on.
Yes, it's easy to prioritize other things.
I love that none of this is about restriction or anything extreme. They're all just really healthy, nourishing habits for all kinds of health (mental, physical, emotional). Absolutely wonderful advice. Also, healthy fats have changed my life. Just sayin!
Thank you! It took me a long time to learn that, but really that is what is going to work long term.
These are such good and thoughtful tips! I've been trying to make it a goal of mine to be healthier and this post really highlights several that I definitely need to incorporate into my lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing!
These are great tips!! I need to improve on all ten but specifically right now I am doing the reduce stress and love my body!! I need to love it no matter the shape. I currently had an injury, so trying to appreciate teh things I still can do, even if i put weight on!
Yes, yes, yes! Seriously this might be the most important part. If you start there, I believe everything else will fall into place.
Thank you! Gardening has been shown to have lots of health benefits including increased mobility and higher levels of vitamin D!
I don't live near a supermarket so getting vegetables and eating this well sometimes feels impossible. Hopefully soon i'll be able to move closer to one so I can start picking up these tips!
That can make things a challenge. Have you thought about subscribing to a local organic garden delivery? I get fresh organic fruits and veggies delivered right to my door. Doesn't get any easier than that. You should look into it!
Another idea is to use frozen vegetables. They are usually frozen right after they are picked so nutritionally, they are about the same as fresh! You can also save money this way since you don't have to worry about them going bad.
Couldn't agree more. We only have ONE body & we need to realize how important it is to take care of it! I do Orange Theory three times a week. It's one of my favorites.
It's the best when you have something physical that you love to do!
Totally agree with your post we only have one body so why not we take steps towards our healthy body.
All healthy tips are good.
These tips also help to make our bone strong.
It really is! This is something I need to remember when I'm pushing myself too hard. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfJ04uzliDEmfhFdy | NEED HELP WITH THE CPU COOLING ! !
Thread: NEED HELP WITH THE CPU COOLING ! !
My first suggestion would be to replace that TIM with some quality stuff, like Arctic Silver 3, 5, or Ceramique.
Secondly, check the ratings of the spark 7. It might not be able to keep up with the heat output of the 3 GHz chip. I can't recall it's ratings of the top of my head, and I'm too lazy to search the thermaltake site.
Last of all, give it a good dusting. Dust is a PC killer; not only can does it act as an insulator and heat things up, but it can also cause shorts if it just happens to get in the wrong place.
EDIT: i see you posted again, I clearly took too long typing. 58 C in a 35 C room is not bad at all. I wouldn't expect the CPU to be below 50 C with air cooling in an environment like that. A HSF is only as good as the air it has to work with. Even with a water cooling rig, the temp wont be cooler than the ambient temp. Just change the TIM and wait for winter to get here.
EDIT #2: please don't type in ALL CAPS. it's is considered rude and/or shouting.
lol sorry bout the caps!!!!
the problem is in the room temperature.
if you can bring that down then the computers temperatures will come down.
I *think* Antec's TIM is legitimate, and it's far better than the stuff that comes with the HSF. However, you are still limited until you bring the ambient temp down.
alrite then cheers you lot !!!!!
so if my room temp is about 20*c how cool wud my cpu be?
it is a very good temperature to aim for. thats what my system runs at stably.
although did the computer ever crash when at 58C. if it didnt then theres nothing to worry about. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdr7xK7FjYAb_7b_N | Q: how to set all links(href) in the page to "#" with javascript how to set all links(href) in the page to "#" with javascript
A: DON'T CHANGE HREF TO #
Set the onclick function to return false instead.
This will have the same effect, whilst allowing greater usability.
Here's a quick example (using jQuery, but works with anything):
jQuery('a').click( doStuff );
function doStuff()
{
// ...function body...
return false;
}
This works because the value you return from an onX event function determines whether that event continues firing or stops. Return true to allow it to continue or false to stop it.
With onclick this means the click is stopped (so the link isn't followed) - however it still allows people to interact with the link via middle and right click (e.g. opening in new tab, adding to bookmarks, and so on)
For another example, with onkeypress you can return false to prevent the character typed from being added to an input control (for example, you could mimic the HTML5 input="numeric" control by having an onkeypress that returned false for any non-numeric characters).
A: Using jQuery:
$('a').attr('href', '#');
A: Use the getElementsByTagName() method to get the tags, then loop through them to set the property.
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var link in links)
{
links[link].href = "#";
}
EDIT: To satisfy a non "foreach" method.
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(i=0;i<links.length;i++)
{
links[i].href = "#";
}

BkiUdfk5qdmB60zYsmRW | Last time when I went to Public Bank, the only thing that makes me feel curious is the new payment option, which available now in Malaysia – Western Union. I did use paypal but never use Western Union before. After done a lot of research, I found that the difference between Paypal and Western Union is not much. Paypal is owned by eBay and more advertises on security issue whereas Western Union does not but you will know whom you are sending money to.
=> CIMB Bank (charge additional US$15 for US cheque greater than US$1000, from other people opinion).
=> RHB Bank Berhad(exchange rate will be better a bit, from other people opinion).
In other countries, there have more Western Union agent locations. You can find it in POS office, banks, supermarkets, travel agencies, airport, train and bus station, and currency exchange offices.
I heard people said that it takes about 14 days to receive an AdSense cheque from Google. Then, it takes around 30 days for cheque clearing.
If use Western Union, it takes only 2 days to receive your AdSense payment in Malaysian Ringgit. So, you can enjoy more faster transaction. Plus, you can observe the currency rate first then only decide which day to withdraw your AdSense money. This may help you to withdraw money at your reasonable rate.
So far, I still cannot find any drawback of using Western Union, would you mind to let me know more details about it?
This entry was posted on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm and is filed under Online Payment Option. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
bro, the rate are base on the sender rate, so no matter when you withdrawl, the rate will be same with the sending date.
also WU only allow 45days to collect the payment, after 45days, will return to sender.
I enjoyed your writing style and I've added this blog to my RSS reader. Keep up the good work. Pitcher.
Hmm, i remember when i withdraw my google adsense with western union ar.. the staff asked me tonnes of questions lar..
I don't know it is compulsory to ask so many questions for withdrawal or he himself interested in how I earn the money.. hehe.. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbU05qoaAwnMw7zN- | Q: Swift UITextFieldBeganEditing to select all text did not work I try to select all text when I tap the textfield, and I try to get the text position and invoke the textField.selectedTextRange method to select the text. It works when I tap the left part of the textField, but not the right part. When I tap the right part, the text just aligned but not selected. Why would that happen?
And here is the issue I recorded as a gif:
display
Below is the code in the textFieldDidBeginEditing method :
func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
textField.textAlignment = .left
self.trailingOfTextField.constant = 80
let endPosition = textField.endOfDocument
let startP = textField.position(from: endPosition, offset: 0)
let endP = textField.position(from: endPosition, offset: -textField.text!.count)
textField.selectedTextRange = textField.textRange(from: startP!, to: endP!)
}
A: The problem has nothing to do with you clicking on the left or right side of the text. It has to do with the ordering of your clicks and the state of the selectedTextRange when those clicks occurred.
What you need to do is reset the selectedTextRange when you dismiss the keyboard so it goes back in its initial state.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
textField.delegate = self
}

textField.selectedTextRange = textField.textRange(
from: textField.beginningOfDocument,
to: textField.endOfDocument
)
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
textField.selectedTextRange = nil
}

textField.selectedTextRange = nil
}

BkiUdAzxaKgTx4Y_98DH | It has been well established Hillary Clinton lost the election because she failed to reestablish the Obama coalition of Northern whites and blacks, failed to recognize white/Obama voters were flocking to Trump and that her margins in pre-election polls were driven by huge margins in major cities in red/blue states. But, Clinton also improved on Obama's margins among the affluent, er, I mean the educated (college degree or better).
Fortunately, better minds than I have already put this phenomenon to the test. Fivethirtyeight's Nate Silver was the first to note this underlying trend. He did it by looking at the 50 most educated counties in the US and Clinton's margins vs. Obama's in 2012. In 48 of the 50 counties Clinton performed better than Obama and overall averaged an additional 8.5 percent in all 50 counties (only Story, IA and Madison, MS were immune to the trend).
Of course, education is increasingly correlated with diversity. Many of the 50 counties included large, diverse metropolitan areas and had major universities nestled within their boundaries.
But, in politics, as in life, for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the 50 least educated counties Clinton's support collapsed. By collapsed I mean imploded. She performed worse than Obama in 47 of the 50 counties and Trump averaged an 11.3 percent increase from Romney's performance in 2012. Representing the racial and geographic divide in the nation only Imperial, CA, majority Hispanic Starr, TX and Apache, AZ gave Clinton bigger margins than Obama.
Breaking down income vs. education can be tricky because the two are so closely correlated with each other. But there are specific examples that illustrate education drove voting patterns more than race, income or geography. For example, Starr, TX is a whopping 96 percent Hispanic. Trump's campaign staked a claim to being anti-illegal immigration and it would fit the pattern Clinton would do better than Obama in places such as this. Or she would improve in places like McKinley, New Mexico. Instead, she did not or barely did.
Fortunately, Fivethirtyeight saved me the trouble of creating my own table and assembled a list of 35 highly educated, median income majority white counties and their results. Clinton performed on average 4 points better than Obama in the 35 counties.
*Counties shown have a population of at least 50,000. At least 50 percent of residents are non-Hispanic whites, at least 35 percent of the age-25-and-older population has a bachelor's degree or higher, and the median household income is below $50,000.
But, in a comparative list of 35 medium educated, medium income majority white counties her support cratered. Trump performed on average 4.8 points better than Romney in these counties.
*Counties shown have a population of at least 50,000. At least 50 percent of residents are non-Hispanic whites, less than 35 percent of the age-25-and-older population has a bachelor's degree or higher, and the median household income is above $70,000.
Further illustrating the power education had in this election was its ability to even drive racial preferences. Never has this happened before. Clinton performed better than Obama in highly educated, majority-minority communities like DeKalb, Georgia and Mecklenburg, North Carolina. But, in majority-minority communities with less education she performed worse than Obama by just over 3 percent.
On the surface such a trade-off appears positive for Democrats. Except, many highly educated voters still retained loyalty to Republicans down-ballot and few, highly educated counties are situated in the Electoral College rich Midwest. Further, it provides more evidence that 2016 was a realigning election to some degree and that old political coalitions in existence for decades were toppled this year.
On a practical level this makes sense. Trump staked his electoral hopes on highly charged, emotional issues like immigration and trade. Both of these issues have more salience to non-college educated voters regardless of whether they are unionized, white, black, gay, man or woman.
Secondly, it reflects the political choice of the Clinton campaign to decide to make their candidate into a highly cerebral and policy focused nominee. Her detail orientated campaign speeches spoke to a stern and steady temperament in the White House but it failed to show any concern to the emotional concerns of many down-scale voters.
Lastly, education levels tend to correlate with jobs at risk of being shipped overseas or not. For example, a white-collar worker in CA is unlikely to see their job moved to China. But, a non-college educated white worker in Central Ohio cannot say the same.
Of course, this analysis and many others are based on exit polls and voter results. We don't know exactly who showed up to vote, their income levels, education, etc. As more Voter File data becomes available we will know more. But, for now, it looks like Clinton assembled a coalition of the affluent, er, I mean educated. It just was not enough to hand her the election. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

JIM KOSKI
Special to the Journal
The interior of the Bon Ton Cafe, located at 312 S. Front St., Marquette, is seen during the 1949 Marquette Centennial celebrations. The business was torn down in 1967. (Photo courtesy of the Marquette Regional History Center)
MARQUETTE — Schools, churches, bars, stores, hospitals, and even an entire city street. When you're looking at parking lots in downtown Marquette, you're looking at more than a place to store your car while you work or shop.
You're also looking at a piece of the city's history.
To quote a great Canadian philosopher, "They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot." Because Marquette grew up in an era before cars, room had to be made to park them once they came on the scene.
Many times that room came from demolishing old or unwanted buildings. And while not all of the buildings torn down in the past 100 years to make room for parking lots could be called "paradise" by any stretch of the imagination, a surprising number of downtown's current parking lots were once home to pieces of iconic Marquette sandstone architecture and fondly remembered city business.
One such example would be the parking lot that sits on the west side of the 300 block of south Front Street in Marquette, the lot next to the VAST Insurance building.
Once a hub of downtown Marquette, the 300 south block of Front Street had been anchored by Peter White's First National Bank of Marquette on one end, and what was at the time Marquette's "main" street, Superior Street (now known as Baraga Avenue) on the other.
Close proximity to both the railroad lines and the harbor led to it becoming a vital area of downtown commerce and public gathering areas. In fact, the block was home to a veritable "Murderer's Row" of legendary Marquette bars and restaurants from the first sixty years of the 20th century. While The Central, The Jet Grille, The Dinner Bell, and The Deluxe were just a few of the eating and drinking establishments that called the west side of the block home, there was one that outlasted them all.
That was the Bon Ton.
The Bon Ton originally opened in 1901 as The Candy Kitchen; Greek immigrant James Lafkas sold house-made confections from the shop. He renamed it in 1916, and in 1920 it was purchased by Peter Bouth, who added homemade ice cream to the menu. Five years later he started serving lunch, and by the 1930s the restaurant added a full kitchen, serving meals all day long and at its peak employing 21 people.
In 1953 George Papadakis, who had worked at the Bon Ton since 1938, bought the restaurant, which had just been remodeled with new booths, a shiny chrome interior, and a new bar. However, ice cream was still one of the best sellers of the establishment. A popular choice of customers from that era was the Tin Roof Sundae.
One woman who worked there remembers the combination of vanilla ice cream, peanuts, hot fudge, and whipping cream, calling it "everyone's favorite." The malted milks are also fondly recalled; even almost six decades later, another fan says they were "So thick! They filled that glass to the brim and gave you the extra in that ice cold metal container they had made it in with their green Hamilton Beach mixer."
The Bon Ton closed in 1967; a year later, the building (along with others on that side of the street) was torn down and paved over into the current parking lot. However, one part of the Bon Ton still exists in Marquette.
Before the building was demolished Papadakis' sons, James and Peter, salvaged some of the equipment and furniture, along with the restaurant's liquor license, for a new pub they were opening on Third Street. While the ownership of that establishment has changed hands several times, the original bar from the Bon Ton Restaurant is still in use today at Stucko's Pub.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The "… And Put Up A Parking Lot" walking tour, which will have stories on over 20 downtown parking lots, will be led by historical storyteller Jim Koski. The tour will cover a twelve-square block region of downtown Marquette and will require participants to walk up and down some hills. It begins Wednesday, July 10 at 6:30 at the Marquette Regional History Center. There's a suggested $5 donation. For more information call the History Center at 226-3571, or visit their website at www.marquettehistory.org.

BkiUdWTxaJiQn_Iny4Px | Pulling together in North Adams
By Christopher Marcisz on November 6, 2013 at 4:10 PM
North Adams Mayor Richard Alcombright was pretty candid last night after he was reelected to a third term by an 18-point margin.
"It is very evident in 2009, 2011, and now 2013, despite different faces, I have run each time against John Barrett," he said. "And I have now beat him three times."
Alcombright defeated former Mayor John Barrett III in 2009, taking 58 percent of the ballots cast, with 3,046 votes to Barrett's 2,166 votes. In 2011, he defeated former City Council President Ronald Boucher, taking 62 percent of the vote 3,776 votes cast that year.
"Tonight I stand before all of you with a challenge," Alcombright said. "That we all pull the rope in the same direction."
He could be forgiven for being exasperated after all these years with the naysayers and the doubters. Perhaps at some point in the past they had real ideas about alternative futures for the city, but it is clear it has simply devolved into the worst kind of name-calling and personality clashes. His opponent, former City Councilor Robert Moulton, did little but blame Alcombright for all the city's woes — from a sluggish economy to a crime spike last summer. He had lots of expensive ideas about what he would do different, but offered no hints about how he'd pay for it. I thought the final result would be a lot closer — I'm friends with some of Alcombright's early supporters, and many seemed somewhat weary and frustrated with how the past few years have gone. I thought it could be just enough of an enthusiasm gap to make this close.
Hopefully, the 2013 election turns the page. The hard truth remains that North Adams remains in a tough spot. The national economy is hardly thriving, and the benefits of the city's move into a more diversified economy based on tourism and the arts have been uneven. But the tribal sniping of the old days wasn't helping.
There might be a window opening up. The new city council is very young and very new, and frankly, that may be just the spark the city's political culture needs.

Michael A. Taylor's 1-year/$3.325M contract for 2020 was announced last night, so that left the defending World Series champion Washington Nationals with three arbitration-eligible players unsigned heading into today's deadline to either agree on new deals or submit the salary asks and offers for the upcoming season.
With new deals coming at a breathtaking pace this afternoon, two more deals were made public, with the Nationals and Roenis Elías reportedly avoiding arbitration by agreeing on what is said to be a 1-year/$1.975M and Joe Ross signing a 1-year/$1.5M deal.
Elías, 31, was acquired from the Seattle Mariners this past July, but made four appearances overall for the Nationals after injuring his hamstring running out a ground ball after his first trip to the mound for the club, before re-injuring the leg once he returned to the bullpen in September.

Elías finished the 2019 campaign with a combined 3.96 ERA, a 5.07 FIP, 17 walks, and 45 Ks in 48 games and 50 innings pitched.
Elías avoided arbitration with the Mariners last winter when he agreed to a 1-year/$910K deal and MLBTR's projections had him getting $1.9M in arbitration this winter.
Ross, 26, posted a 5.48 ERA, a 4.59 FIP, 33 walks, and 57 Ks in 27 games (nine starts) and a total of 64 IP for the Nationals in 2019, starting off in the bullpen before moving back to the starting rotation and finishing the season with an emergency start in Game 5 of the World Series when Max Scherzer couldn't take the mound because a nerve issue in his neck.
Ross avoided arbitration last winter when he agreed on a 1-year/$1M deal with the Nats, and MLBTR projected a raise to around $1.4M for the five-year veteran in 2020, so both Ross and Elías ended up with slightly more than they were projected to receive.
The deals with the two pitchers leaves just Trea Turner unsigned, but on Friday evening there were multiple reports that he too had worked out a deal, avoiding arbitration.

Turner, 26, broke his right index finger early in 2019, but he still managed to put up a solid .298/.353/.497 line with 37 doubles, five triples, and 19 homers in 122 games and 569 plate appearances overall in the regular season.
The infielder put up a .233/.291/.329 line, four doubles, and a home run for the Nationals during their postseason run.
Turner signed a 1-year/$3.725M deal with the Nats last winter, avoiding arbitration, and their incumbent shortstop was projected to get a raise to around $7.5M in his second arb-eligible campaign. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfr05qhLBvqGZ3o6i | Pliocene three-dimensional global ocean temperature reconstruction
A snapshot of the thermal structure of the mid-Piacenzian ocean is obtained by combining the Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping Project (PRISM3) multiproxy sea-surface temperature (SST) reconstruction with bottom water tempera-5 ture estimates produced using Mg/Ca paleothermometry. This reconstruction assumes a Pliocene water mass framework similar to that which exists today, with several important modifications. The area of formation of present day North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) was expanded and extended further north toward the Arctic Ocean during the mid-Piacenzian relative to today. This, combined with a deeper Greenland-Scotland Ridge, allowed a greater volume of warmer NADW to enter the Atlantic Ocean. In the Southern Ocean, the Polar Front Zone was expanded relative to present day, but shifted closer to the Antarctic continent. This, combined with at least seasonal reduction in sea ice extent, resulted in decreased Antarctic BottomWater (AABW) production (relative to present day) as well as possible changes in the depth of intermediate wa15 ters. The reconstructed mid-Piacenzian three-dimensional ocean was warmer overall than today, and the hypothesized aerial extent of water masses appears to fit the limited stable isotopic data available for this time period. ??

PEARLAND — The Pearland Oilers rode the strong pitching performance of Jacob Barfield while getting timely hits to defeat the Alvin Yellowjackets 4-1 to stay in the hunt for the district crown. Pearland is now 25-2 overall and 9-1 in district.
Barfield allowed only one hit and one run while the Oilers gave the big righthander all the support he needed in getting the win.
Pearland got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second when Barfield opened with a single and Hayden Cole followed with a double to plate courtesy runner Ben Paddock for a 1-0 lead. Later in the inning, Kamren Dukes hit a two-out double to bring home Jake Crain who reached base on a fielder's choice for a 2-0 advantage.
Pearland added another run in the bottom of the third and fourth increasing the lead to 4-0 before Alvin got their only hit of the game for a run in the top of the fifth to close the gap to 4-1.
Barfield closed out the Jackets the rest of the way to register the win. He allowed one hit, one run, two walks, and three strikeouts.
Alvin's Tristan Deriso also did a good job on the mound limiting the Pearland high-octane offense to only four runs, four hits, three walks, and three strikeouts.
Jacob Almendarez was 1-for-4 with one RBI. Barfield was 1-for-2 with one RBI. Kamren Dukes was 1-for-1 with an RBI. Hayden Cole was 1-for-2 with an RBI.

Ryan Diaz was 1-for-2 with a triple, three runs scored, and one RBI.
The Oilers left no doubt as to the outcome as they opened the first frame with four runs, added two more in the top of the second and third innings for a commanding 8-0 lead.
Brady Basso was the starter and he allowed no runs on no hits while striking out two in three innings of work to pick up the win.
Pearland head coach Anthony Scalise went on a pitching parade as Casey Michna (two hits, three runs, one walk) took his turn for less than an inning before Jacob Barfield, Brendan Owens, and Stephen McBroom closed out the game.

Flexibility or Frustration?
On 1 October 2009 the government introduced a series of measures aimed at ensuring that delays in the planning system did not hinder the economic recovery. Take up has been low (in part due to the interim fee requirements) as developers and Local Authorities have struggled to assess and interpret the scope of the individual provisions.
Extensions to the time limits for implementing planning permissions
These provisions were introduced to enable developers to keep planning permissions alive during the economic downturn in order that they can be more quickly implemented when economic conditions improve.
The procedure allows developers to apply to Local Authorities for a new planning permission to replace an existing planning permission which is in danger of running out of time for implementation. A successful application will result in a new permission with a new time limit for implementation.
The provisions only apply to planning permissions that were granted on or before 1 October 2009 and only one extension to each permission will be permissible.
The application must be for the same development as the previous planning permission.
An application must be made on the standard application form which has been amended to incorporate this procedure.
Government guidance has advised that local authorities will retain a discretion to determine an extension application even if the original permission has expired after the application was made before its determination. However developers have been warned not to leave submission of the application to the last possible date.
No design or access statement is required for an extension application. However it is open to local authorities to seek further information if changes have taken place to the surrounding area since the original planning permission was granted.
The fees regulations for extension applications have now come into force. The fees for major applications will be a set £500. Prior to the fees regulations coming into force the fees were the same as for a new full application.
The applications must be determined in accordance with section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and as such local authorities have been encouraged to focus on any significant changes to either the development plan polices or other material considerations since the original permission was granted.
Where the original planning permission was linked to a Section 106 Agreement it may be necessary for a supplementary to be prepared linking that obligation to that new permission.
Local Authorities have a discretion to extend the permission for such period as it sees fit subject to the default period of 5 years set out in section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The provisions also apply to Listed Building Consents and Conservation Area Consents provided they are associated with an application for an extension of a planning permission.
A number of problems have arisen in respect of the proposals which cast doubt on whether they will achieve the Government's intended aim. These issues include:
* Where the development is an EIA scheme the local authority may request the original environmental statement to be updated. Similarly, in respect of previous non EIA schemes there may have been change of circumstances and a screening opinion should be sought to seek whether environmental impact assessment will be required in respect of the extension application;
* The Government has confirmed that outline permissions can be extended using this power provided that either the time limit for reserved matters has not expired or the reserved matters application were all submitted within the time limit but the development has not yet commenced.
* However, in a phased development where the development has been commenced but not all the reserved matters applications have yet been submitted, it will not be possible to use the procedure to extend the period of time for submitting the remaining reserved matters. This has caused considerable frustration to developers wishing to extend the period for bringing forward remaining phases on large schemes;
* In respect of non-EIA schemes, local authorities have a discretion to decide which statutory consultees must be consulted. Government guidance advocates that local authorities should use a proportionate approach to consultation and should take into account which statutory consultees were interested in the proposal at the time of the original planning permission. There is no such discretion in respect of EIA schemes where the EIA regulations require statutory consultees to be consulted on a scoping opinion has been requested by a developer and subsequently upon submission of the environmental statement; and
* The publicity and notification requirements remain the same as for a new application for planning permission.
Developers will, however, be able to appeal against refusals of extension applications and the normal appeal timetables will still apply.
Non-Material Amendments
Section 190 of the Planning Act 2008 (which inserted section 96(a) into the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) was brought into force on 1 October 2009.
Section 96(a) allows a non-material amendment to be made to an existing planning permission by a simplified procedure.
The application is not an application for planning permission and as such no design and access statement is required. A new abbreviated application form has been prepared and is available on the planning portal website.
Following parliamentary approval of the fees regulations the fee will be £25 for each application in respect of householder development and £170 in respect of other development.
The procedure will allow new conditions to be imposed or existing conditions to be removed or altered.
The procedure does not apply to either Listed Building or Conservation Area Consents.
There is no requirement for consultation or publicity in respect of the application therefore Local Authorities have a discretion in whether and how they choose to inform other interested parties. The applicant is however required to notify anyone who owns the land which would be affected by the non-material amendment.
The Local Authority will have 28 days to determine the application and must have regard to the effect of the change to go with any previous changes made by earlier such applications.
Although it is not an application for planning permission there is a right of appeal under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The main difficulty with the provisions is that there is no statutory definition of what will constitute a "non-material amendment". The only requirement is that the local authority must be satisfied that the amendment sought is non-material in order to grant the application.
Minor Material Amendments
In response to the Killian Pretty Review, the Government committed itself to considering options for introducing a simplified procedure for making minor material amendments to planning permissions.
The Government has proposed using Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to provide the best solution to this issue and has amended the GDPO to give discretion to local authority as to which statutory consultees must be consulted on any such application.
The Government guidance defines a Minor Material Amendment as one whose scale and nature results in a development which is not substantially different from the one which has been improved".
The use of Section 73 depends on the existence of a relevant condition that can be appropriately amended. For example, "The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans". The Government has advised local authorities to include such conditions on all new planning permissions. However, in respect of existing permissions without any such condition it is difficult to see how the procedures will work in practice.
Applications will be made on the same form and in the same way as a normal Section 73 variation application and the EIA regulations will continue to apply to the Section 73 application.
Local Authorities are encouraged to take a proportionate approach to consultation and notification in light of the full consultation that would have been carried out when the original permission was granted.
When an application under Section 73 for a minor material amendment is granted it will result in a new planning permission.
It remains to be seen whether these series of measures will have there desired effect. Take up has been understandably slow in light of the interim fee position and landowners and developers waiting for local authorities to establish the scope of the minor material amendments and non-material amendments provisions. | commoncrawl | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUdh45qX_AY5k-y9pP | Combating Violent Extremism: Voices of Former Right-Wing Extremists
Literature Chair
Jennifer Faucher
Start Date: End Date:
In Studies in Conflict Terrorism, November 2019 By Ryan Scrivens, Vivek Venkatesh, Maxime Bérubé and Tiana Gaudette
While it has become increasingly common for researchers, practitioners and policymakers to draw from the insights of former extremists to combat violent extremism, overlooked in this evolving space has been an in-depth look at how formers perceive such efforts. To address this gap, interviews were conducted with 10 Canadian former right-wing extremists based on a series of questions provided by 30 Canadian law enforcement officials and 10 community activists. Overall, formers suggest that combating violent extremism requires a multidimensional response, largely consisting of support from parents and families, teachers and educators, law enforcement officials, and other credible formers.

BkiUbh3xK0fkXPSOom2t | Think You Don't Need Asset Tracking Software? Think Again.
Why would you need asset tracking software? It's easy to underestimate just how many assets you have; organizations large and small do just that. If you've never taken an inventory of your fixed assets, it's well worth the exercise. We can almost guarantee you'll be surprised at the volume you have. Each of those items affects your bottom line for the simple reason that they have to be reported for accounting and compliance purposes. If you don't know what you have, you're likely resorting to guesswork. Guessing can be very costly. If you're wrong – and, let's face it, guessing isn't terribly reliable – you could face penalties.
There any many, many more reasons to consider asset tracking software, and they, too, influence your bottom-line revenues. Organizations without a formal asset tracking system are vulnerable to loss and theft, which in turn forces them to have to replace assets on a more frequent basis than should be necessary. A replacement here, a replacement there, and the cost soon begins to add up. Your IT assets, in particular, are frequent targets for thieves. That has the potential to put your company's very reputation at risk because it's not just the IT asset that's stolen; it's also the data stored on that asset.
When you have no asset tracking processes or you're relying on manual procedures, items will fall through the cracks, mistakes will be made, and your employees are going to spend hours hunting down assets for which they don't have records. Wasted time means reduced productivity and lower morale. Without asset tracking software, it's also likely that your assets will break down prematurely. Asset tracking software enables you to set up maintenance schedules, so you never fall behind, and you're able to keep assets in good working order for as long as possible. In other words, you maximize your investment. Asset tracking also helps organizations plan equipment refresh schedules and budget accordingly. Best of all, asset tracking software streamlines what can be a very complex process. It gives you peace of mind knowing that all of your asset data is accurate, in real time and stored in one centralized and secure location.
And that's just the beginning. The search for asset tracking software doesn't have to be complicated, either. With Asset Panda, you have at your fingertips the entire lifecycle of your fixed assets. Download our free app (available in Android and iOS versions), and you're ready to track and manage your assets. Asset Panda's simple, intuitive interface makes it easy to track your assets any way you want, with no additional hardware needed. Add as many users as you'd like, adjust our custom fields to your specifications, and make changes at any time. This is an asset tracking software that adapts to your unique needs. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUbys5qsJBjkziggj6 | Erick Erickson is an astute observer. Remember, we're not talking about Governor Palin, we're talking about her fans.
For the longest time I wanted Sarah Palin to run.
Unfortunately, as I found out and as others are starting to find out, moving on from Sarah Palin is like leaving Scientology.
To not bow at the throne of Sarah you get disowned. You get attacked. You have people drum up stories attacking your credibility. "Oh, Perry announced at his event, he must be bought and paid for," etc. Ironically, some of the very people going after this site's and my credibility — claiming we're pressured to do things by higher ups at Eagle Publishing — are people who were on payrolls advocating for clients while refusing to disclose potential conflicts among other things. To add comedy to irony, it seems more and more apparent that some of those who attacked this site and me for holding editorial positions based on what our corporate parent dictates (a lie designed to undermine our lack of sufficiently pro Palin bona fides among other things) are themselves engaging in projection because it is they, not RedState nor me, who must tread carefully in who they attack because their livelihoods depend on it. It's always the kooks who project their sins on others.
I don't get many comments on this blog, but when there are rants, it's been from Governor Palin"s supporters complaining about my reporting on or – worse yet – defense of Governor Perry's record. Some of the other Boards and Forums are worse.
I'll be glad to see Governor Palin on the November 2012 ballot, but I'm supporting Governor Perry in the Primary for his job record and pro-life fights in Texas. Deciding on my own Governor shouldn't bother anyone except the inept Incumbent. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUf4LxK19JmhArGD-n | Q: Strategy for Requirements Traceability Matrix in DOORS I want to create a traceability matrix in a new module that shows the object ID & text at the top level, then in columns moving to the right the object ID & text for the source of the first in-link, and then it's in-links to the right, etc. If there is more than one in-link, the next source object will be shown on the next line (new object), and the higher level object ID & text just repeated in the columns to the left. Basically, it is the recursive trace analysis layout dxl, but I want to spread out the information over separate columns.
My question is related to the best practices for approach. Is it best to create a new module and write several dxl layout scripts for each column, pulling info from all of the various modules, and then later converting it to text (so it isn't too heavy)? Or is it necessary (or easier) to actually create dxl attributes within each requirements module, and then pull information from there into my RTM module?
I'm likely over-complicating it, but any tips would be appreciated!
A: Well, one of our assets contains something that looks like your approach:
*
*script creates new modules that only contains trace information, a "report" module, which does not contain any link to the original "data" modules
*there are some 2 or three columns for each Req Level (high level reqs at the left, low level reqs at the right)
the advantage of this approach is that one can easily use standard DOORS filtering mechanisms to find "holes" in the matrix (requirements which have not been implemented, design elements without requirement etc.). plus, as every report run creates a new report module with the date/time in its name, project progress can be made visible over time, reports to excels might be made.
On the other hand the implementation took several weeks. So, I don't know if this approach would be feasible for you.

BkiUbOw5qU2Aps3F5uOk | Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day (Ps. 119:97).
Have you ever been in a conversation in which the other person wouldn't stop talking? It's not very enjoyable. You want to speak, but you never get a chance!
Prayer is talking to God. But God doesn't want us to do all the talking. He wants to speak to us. And how does God speak to us? Through the Bible (also know as the word of God).
Many Christians struggle to take the time to pray. Maybe we don't take the time to pray because we underestimate the importance of prayer. We will usually make time for things that are important to us.
We believe that food is essential, and we make time for it everyday. If we believe that prayer is essential to the Christina life, we must make time for it. Maybe we have good intentions to take time to pray, but we never end up doing much praying. We are like the disciples Peter, James, and John. Jesus said to them, ""Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41).
It's probably a good idea to designate a quiet time and place. Jesus often withdrew to "desolate places" to pray (Luke 5:16).
Before we speak to God, God wants to speak to us. God speaks to us when we read and meditate on his word. Meditate? J. I. Packer writes, "We have some idea, perhaps, what prayer is, but what is meditation? Well may we ask, for meditation is a lost art today, and Christian people suffer grievously from their ignorance of the practice. Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God." A mind meditating on God's word is like a sponge absorbing water.
Eastern meditation is an attempt to empty the mind. Christian meditation is an attempt to fill the mind. With what do we fill our minds? God's word. Several times in Scripture we are urged to mediate upon God's word.
"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night" (Josh. 1:8).
"But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night" (Ps. 1:2).
"O how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day" (Ps. 119:97).
"My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise" (Ps. 119:148).
"I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands" (Ps. 143:5).
Busyness and distractions are the enemies of meditating on God's word. Stillness and solitude are the friends of meditating on God's word.
The need for mediating on God's word is illustrated in the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). Mary "sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching" (v. 39), but Martha "was distracted with much serving" (v. 40). Jesus said, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her" (vv. 41-42).
Read a Scripture passage. Pick one or two truths you find in the passage. Choose the one that most impresses you and write it in a sentence. Now ask: How does this truth help me praise God? How does it show me a sin to confess? How does it show me something to ask for?
Now turn the answers to the three questions into a prayer—adoration, petition, and suppli-cation.
This plan only takes about 15 minutes. (Of course, that makes it sound easier than it actually is.) But taking time to meditate upon God word and pray will make a huge difference in our lives.

BkiUf-PxK7IACwaaBPEj | Q: ASP.NET MVC: Best C# method of building a Json ActionResult Similar questions have been asked in the past, but they seem a little dated now. I'm trying to get the current general consensus on what's the best way to construct a JsonResult in ASP.NET MVC. The context of this question is to use the most current methods available from .NET 4/4.5 & MVC 4
Here's a few popular methods I've come across over the years:
var json1 = new { foo = 123, bar = "abc" };
var json2 = new Dictionary<string, object>{ { "foo", 123 }, { "bar", "abc" } };
dynamic json3;
json3.foo = 123;
json3.bar = "abc";
Please also the explain the pros/cons of your preferred method
A: Personally I use this one:
public class MyViewModel
{
public int Foo { get; set; }
public string Bar { get; set; }
}
and then:
public ActionResult Foo()
{
var model = new MyViewModel
{
Foo = 123,
Bar = "abc"
};
return Json(model, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Pros:
*
*strong typing
*no magic strings
*refactor friendly
*unit test friendly
*the code is perfectly easily transposable to a new Web Api controller action call keeping the previous points true:
public class ValuesController: ApiController
{
public MyViewModel Foo()
{
return new MyViewModel
{
Foo = 123,
Bar = "abc"
};
}
}
Cons: haven't encountered one yet.

This involves teaching our children. This involves sacrifice on the part of parents and the members of the church. Too often, children's programs in churches and even Christian parents find themselves believing that as long as children are at church or that they have made a profession of faith that they have achieved their goal. Our kids don't just need to be at church. They need to know the Lord and to be disciplined so they may know how to follow Him in life. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

News News | Jan 7, 2023
A gate at the entrance to the off-highway vehicle open area in the Wolford Mountain Recreation Area sits covered in snow after someone rammed through it between Christmas and New Year's.

Sometime between Christmas and New Year's, someone drove up to the off-highway vehicle open area in the Wolford Mountain Recreation Area north of Kremmling, found the area closed and ran over the closed gate to gain access anyway.
Avery Arduser, a Bureau of Land Management park ranger, said this sort of vandalism happens more often than he would like or many would assume.
"This is still property damage, even though it's happening on public lands," Arduser said.
Vandalism on public lands often goes unnoticed, Arduser said. More common damages than gates being run over include signs being used for target practice by hunters. Arduser said Stay the Trail, a nonprofit that advocates for responsible off-highway vehicle use, helped fund a new informational kiosk for an offroading trail in the Wolford area.
"I would say it was on the ground for maybe two weeks before it got shot up," Arduser said. "It's just really frustrating."
The person who drove through the gate for the off-highway vehicle open area broke the gate, tore out a fencepost and damaged wire fencing. Arduser estimated it will cost around $500 to repair the damage.
"It's a minuscule amount of money," Arduser said. "But it's still going to take probably a full day's worth of my time to fix this."
A wide view of the entrance to the off-highway vehicle open area in the Wolford Mountain Recreation Area shows the broken gate laying to the right of the trail.
Fixing broken gates, replacing shot-up signs, removing graffiti, cleaning up bathrooms after someone drops a firework into a toilet and any other vandalism cleanup work takes time away from BLM rangers' normal projects. Arduser said people sometimes think certain sites seem neglected, but they would not look that way if vandalism did not pull rangers away from their work.
"We are so short staffed that stuff like this puts us back so far," Arduser said. "Just this office manages about 400-and-some thousand acres."
A BLM law enforcement officer discovered the broken fence and reported it to Arduser, but by the time they did, the vandal was long gone. Arduser said there would be no way to find the perpetrator and prosecute them.
The off-highway vehicle area closes during the winter because big game migrate through and reproduce in the area, Arduser said. People have stolen gates before, but Arduser thought the destruction of this gate deserved attention.
"This is one I want to kind of bring to the community and say, 'Please stop, you know who you are,' stuff along those lines," Arduser said. "It's a cost to the government, it's a cost to the community itself and it's just frustrating on my end."

BkiUfKjxaKgQVeJrmrCn | Q: How does copying object properties in JavaScript actually work? Let's take an example of a circle object. When I copy the properties of this object to RoundButton with my custom extend function, I thought RoundButton will get the reference of area method from circle object.
So if I change the definition of area method in circle it will also change the area property in RoundButton but in the console, it remains as it was before. I am really confused if I have not cloned the properties but copied them why it is behaving like that.
var circle = {
area: function() {
return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius;
}
};
function extend(destination, source) {
for( var k in source ){
if(source.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
destination[k] = source[k];
}
}
return destination;
}
var RoundButton = function (radius) {
this.radius = radius;
};
extend(RoundButton.prototype, circle);
console.log(RoundButton.prototype.area);
// ƒ () { return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius;}
circle.area = function() {
return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius * this.radius;
}
console.log(RoundButton.prototype.area);
// ƒ () { return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius;}
A: When you reassign:
circle.area = function() {
return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius * this.radius;
}
...the previous area function object loses a reference. Any objects that still referenced circle.area will keep that same reference, but circle itself will now have a different reference, to the new function.
This is what happens with assignment and is standard behaviour in JavaScript.
In your example you could get your desired behaviour by not copying circle's properties to the RoundButton.prototype object (with extend), but to assign circle to that prototype. That way mutations of the circle object will directly affect the prototype (since they are the same object reference). So replace:
extend(RoundButton.prototype, circle);
with:
RoundButton.prototype = circle;
and it will work like you expected.
Again, with the original version, RoundButton.prototype does not get a reference to the circle object, but to its member values directly (so to the area function). Any mutation of the circle object through assignment of values to its own properties, will go unnoticed for that prototype object.
A: In javascript, objects (functions are objects) are assigned to variables through references, unlike the primitive values string, number, or boolean.
Lets say that the function assigned to circle.area is referred to by "X".
var circle = {
area: function() { // "X"
return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius;
}
};
Later on you go and assign this function to a difference variable.
var RoundButton = {
area: circle.area // "X"
};
So RoundButton.area is also referring to our "X". Now if you do:
circle.area = new Function("return 1");
You will change the reference of circle.area, but RoundButton.area still is referring to that "X".

BkiUbKQ4eIZijW3pMOoO | Here's How Super Cruise Will Roll Out Across The Cadillac Lineup
by Jonathan Lopez
GM's Super Cruise technology is a vital differentiator for Cadillac, not only when it comes to the actual feature of the semi-autonomous driving technology, but also as it relates to the brand's perception in the luxury space. Currently, Super Cruise is only available on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, but the tech will roll out across the Caddy stable. That much we already knew thanks to an official announcement made in 2018. But now, we have a much clearer picture of the Super Cruise launch cadence, thanks to a new report from our sister publication, Cadillac Society.
2020 Cadillac CT5-V
With the Cadillac CT6 already offering Super Cruise, the next model to get the technology will be the 2020 Cadillac CT5, Cadillac's new D-segment sedan. The new CT5 is set to arrive this fall, but it won't receive Super Cruise at launch. Instead, the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class rival will offer Super Cruise later on in the 2020 model year.
Following the CT5, the next model to receive Super Cruise will be the 2020 Cadillac CT4, Caddy's new subcompact (C-segment) sedan. That equips every Cadillac sedan, including the CT6, CT5, and CT4, with Super Cruise, but what about the rest of the lineup?
According to the recent Cadillac Society report, the next-generation Escalade will get Super Cruise after the brand's various sedan models. The all-new Escalade is set to arrive for the 2021 model year, and it makes a lot of sense for Cadillac's most high-profile model to get this equally high-profile technology sooner rather than later. By that time, Super Cruise will already have been available in the CT6, CT5, and CT4, giving GM and Cadillac the opportunity to polish it for the range-topping Escalade.
It's worth noting that we recently spotted a prototype of the current-generation Cadillac Escalade undergoing testing with autonomous hardware mounted on its roof.
2021 Cadillac Escalade prototype
With the Escalade accounted for, all we have left is Cadillac's various crossover utility vehicles, including the XT4, XT5, and XT6. Hints as to when these models will get Super Cruise can be traced back the debut of the Cadillac XT6 at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, when Cadillac XT6 chief engineer, Joel Hoffman, told Repairer Driven News that the remaining Cadillac lineup would get Super Cruise in 2021.
We are led to believe that 2021 could mean the calendar year, which would result in a 2022 model year rollout.
Super Cruise Rollout
Expected Model Year Availability
CT6 Already available (as of 2018 MY)
CT5 Late 2020
XT4 2021/2022
That takes care of Cadillac. Meanwhile, the rest of the GM portfolio will get Super Cruise after 2020, but no details are currently available about which vehicles will be graced with the technology.
For reference, the Cadillac Super Cruise is a Level 2 autonomous driving system and is the first true hands-free autonomous driver assistance feature for freeway motoring. The technology relies on multiple integrated systems, including LiDar, GPS, a driver attention monitor, visual cameras, and radar. Furthermore, Super Cruise requires an active OnStar service plan with emergency services.
Super Cruise is currently available to CT6 owners and comes with 130,000 miles of limited-access freeway functionality throughout North America. An upcoming update will expand the system's capability by 70,000 miles, bringing the total freeway functionality to over 200,000 miles. However, a recent study stated that many don't understand the limitations of SuperCruise, along with the competing Tesla AutoPilot system.

Cadillac Super Cruise Has Trouble Seeing In Direct Sunlight
Tomko says:
I have a memory of Mary announcing that XT6 would have super cruise at launch.
member12 says:
XT6 is 2020 (probably 2021 MY)
Should have maybe switched their strategy from sedans to CUVs first.
Zcat says:
I don't pretend to be a car executive, but why the long drawn-out process for something that already exists?
If it's good enough for the CT6 now, why wait? If it upgrades later, than fine. But that feature alone not being
provided now on ALL models, may indeed result in losing sales.
I don't think Cadillac is in the position to lose more market share.
God/Bacardi says:
Very fair and I agree…However, was reported on GMA and other outlets of the flaws so perhaps it was worth the wait…
"direct sunlight in the driver-facing infrared sensor can cause the system to deactivate", "drivers who wear polarized sunglasses preventing the infrared sensor from tracking their eye movements" and "deactivation when lane markings are obscured, either due to snow, dirt, or poor road conditions"…Regardless the good news is GM says they're on improvements…
Eric Nast says:
You're right…it does seem like a long time to implement an existing technology, but it only 'exists' as integrated with the CT6.
Keep in mind that Super Cruise is an elaborate combination of hardware and software, which needs to be adapted specifically for each model, and integrated with existing (multiple combinations of) systems. The CT6 (Omega), CT4/5 (Alpha), new Escalade (T1XX), XT4 (E2XX), and XT5/6 (C2XX) are all on different platforms with unique electrical architectures, bodywork, and manufacturing limitations. Software will need to be revised and optimal sensor placement needs to be determined/engineered. And finally, testing, testing, testing… All of that work needs to be done by a set deadline to be given a green light for production, or else it has to default to the following year.
The delayed implementation in the CUVs could be a matter of priorities, or budget limitations. If they're aiming to have SC in the 2021 models, the deadline is surely less than a year from now. I could speculate that GM feels the addition of optional SC to the CUVs would have the least positive impact on total sales/profits, vs. Escalade where it *needs* to be there as a premium feature & to help justify the MSRP; Cadillac's 'flagship technology' sure as hell better be available on the flagship vehicle! The higher-end, premium CT4/5s will need SC available promptly to help bolster their premium perceptions and price tags.
Great points by both, God/Bacardi and Eric.
I'm wondering how Tesla is able to apply Autopilot to all 3 of their vehicles right at launch time?
I understand it's a different system, so does that make it easier to adapt and "fit" their 3 different models?
Plus, I'm sure it will also be available on the Model Y from the get-go.
I haven't researched either to better understand their differences, (mainly because I'm a driver and have no desire to be shuttled around by software) so I'm not qualified to speak on the issue, but am interested
to listen to other's more educated take on this.
It's easier for Tesla when Autopilot is standard equipment on all their models. When you pay extra for 'full self-driving capability', it's my understanding that the upgrade is purely software-enabled (hence the ability to upgrade at a later date). The hardware required is engineered, designed, and built-in from the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised if all the Tesla cars share the same software – effectively a computer operating system.
Cadillac, on the other hand, has a range of optional equipment. You can have rear parking sensors, but none in the front. You might have a forward-facing camera as part of the lane-departure warning system, but no forward radar for the optional adaptive cruise control. Rear cross traffic alert may not be present, so those sensors would be missing. Even if you have the full adaptive cruise control (ACC) package, the sensor array required for Super Cruise probably exceeds what's included with ACC. Then you have multiple infotainment systems, with and w/out navigation, and all on varied electrical architectures.
It's overly-simplified, but in some ways it feels like a Mac (Tesla) vs. PC (GM) comparison. I occasionally enjoy the ACC on my ATS, but like you, a fully automated driving experience will never be on my shopping list! 😉
Eric, thanks for the well thought out, informed, and helpful response.
I guess taking baby steps, regardless of the "why" or "how" the systems work, is the responsible route to take.
At least Super Cruise hasn't killed anyone yet. At least not to my knowledge. And that's a good thing!
The photo of the CT5 is awesome. That thing would be sex on wheels if it wasn't orange.

…and how do you think they make baby oranges?
They don't just grow on trees, you know.
One would think that the best selling of the fleet would get integration of the Super Cruise first as this would give more feedback for computer engineers to find errors and improve the overall system, offering the Super Cruise on slow selling vehicles doesn't help the system mature faster.
For me, the same perceived value as stop/start functionality. Don't need it, don't want it, wouldn't buy it.

BkiUdTk5qX_AYzjedHpw | 11 Secret Service Tested Positive In August

The New York Times — The Secret Service sustained a coronavirus outbreak at its training facility in Maryland in August, weeks before President Trump was infected, evidence of growing infections at the agency responsible for protecting the president.
At least 11 employees at the center in rural Maryland tested positive for the virus even though the agency had closed it for several months this year to enforce procedures to mitigate transmission, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
Some of the personnel are believed to have contracted the virus during training exercises and at a graduation celebration inside a nearby hotel where they did not practice social distancing, the people said.
The agency declined to discuss the specifics of the outbreak but said in a statement that it "has taken significant precautions at its training center to protect the health and welfare of its trainees and training staff." There's no indication this outbreak led to infections among the agents and officers who directly protect the president.
The details about the outbreak were uncovered by the Project on Government Oversight, an independent watchdog group in Washington. The organization brought that information to The New York Times, which independently confirmed specifics with people briefed on the matter.
The announcement early Friday morning that the president and the first lady had tested positive for the coronavirus gave the outbreak new relevance. Hours before that, the White House confirmed that Hope Hicks, a close adviser to Mr. Trump, was also infected.
Speaking on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, the president blamed military and law enforcement personnel for Ms. Hicks's exposure.
"It is very, very hard when you are with people from the military, or from law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you, and they want to kiss you because we really have done a good job for them," Mr. Trump said … Read more.

BkiUeUQ4eIOjRwCobvwz | Ist HT in 1999 in Wellsbourne clinic uk (i know i know!). 750 grafts if that.
2nd HT in 2001 in Wellbourne clinic uk (fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me :(. again 750 grafts if that.
Propecia for 3 years. 1mg every 2 days.
vitamin b complex 750mg daily.
Alot. low self confidence so had to do something about it. i looked much much older than i am.
i think propecia has arrested my hairloss, but of course i cannot be 100% sure.
with my first 2 HT's by the wellsbourne clinic in the uk about 8 years ago, i guess my results were poor compared to the results by the coalition surgeons on this site.
With regards to my 3rd and latest HT with Dr Jerry Cooley, i am extremely satisfied so far.
Propecia to maintain what you have.
NEVER just retreat into your shell and let hairloss take over. research, email , talk to others and seriously consider a HT from a coalition surgeon if you are suitable. What these guys do (esp Dr Cooley) is leading edge and miles away from techniques that were being used 10 years ago.
also, never let location of a surgeon be a negative. i travelled to north carolina, USA from the uk after a year of research because in my opinion Dr Cooley and his team were the right choice for me. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
