Zend_Form – form tag in view | Steven E. Hill, Sr.
I have seen questions about how to get the form tag in a view for the form that is being used as an alternative to rendering the whole form.
which means they lose out on the OOP factor of that part of Zend_Form.
My solution to this was to write a class that I could extend which provides a couple of methods to render the opening and closing form tags.
You no longer have to deal with the attributes of the form tag in the view as this will render the form tag with the attributes defined as the form object was built and all you need to do is to have your form class extend App_Form() rather than Zend_Form().

The artists of Injalak Arts create some of the most coveted bush died, woven pandanas jewellery around. Bush Bling presents gorgeous new one-off pieces sure to make a statement.
Injalak Arts is located in the small community of Gunbalanya in West Arnhem Land. Gunbalanya has a population of around 1200, of which around 90% are bininj or Aboriginal people. The traditional owners of Gunbalanya is the Gumurdul family who allow Injalak to operate on their land and are actively supportive of the art centre. The other Indigenous residents have their country estates throughout West Arnhem Land. Injalak Arts plays an important role within the community with multiple roles as: a social enterprise that generates livelihoods for local people; a charity; a social hub and one of only two fully-Indigenous governed and continuously operating organisations in the town. The sale of arts and crafts is an important source of self-generated income for many people. The production of arts and crafts also involves a mentorship system for many young people into aspects of bininj culture.

HOME > IMMIGRATION > canada > Immigration and Refugee Protection
Refugee protection is given by Canada to those people who meet the United Nations (UN) definition of a Convention Refugee or if they are a person in need of protection.
Convention refugees are unwilling to return to their own country or the country where they normally live because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on:
Membership in a particular social group but is not limited to, sexual orientation, gender identity, and domestic violence and HIV status.
A person in need of protection is a person in Canada who must show that if they return to their home country or country where they normally live would subject them personally to:
A danger of torture
A risk to their life
A risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment
Eligibility from inside Canada:
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) takes the final decisions on the immigration matters of refugees. Not all applications reach the IRB, however.
You may not be eligible to make a refugee claim if:
You have been recognized as a Convention refugee by another country to which you can return
You have already been permitted protected person status in Canada
You arrived via the Canada-United States border (refer to Safe Third Country Agreement below)
You are not admissible to Canada on security grounds, or because of criminal activity or human rights violations
You made a previous refugee claim that was found to be ineligible for referral to the IRB
You made a previous refugee claim that was rejected by the IRB
You abandoned or withdrew a previous refugee claim
Safe Third Country Agreement:
According to an agreement signed between the United States and Canada, the people must claim refugee protection in whichever country they first arrive. So, if you enter Canada through a land border from the United States, you cannot make a refugee protection claim in Canada.
Following are some exceptions:
Family member exceptions
Unaccompanied minors' exception
Document holder exception
Public interest exception
You must meet all the eligibility criteria set by Canada's immigration legislation, i.e. Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) along with qualifying for these exceptions.
You can apply for refugee status in Canada with the following two methods:
At any port of entry, such as an airport, seaport or land border where the officer will decide if your claim is eligible to be referred to the IRB (IRB) of Canada.
In Canada at designated Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) offices. If they find your refugee claim eligible, you will be given a date for IRB hearing.
Eligibility for Resettlement from outside Canada:
Two categories are made for the candidates who want to be resettled from outside Canada:
Convention Refugees Abroad Class:
The definition of a Convention Refugee in the 1951 United Nations Convention relating to the status of refugees must be met by the applicants. Security and criminal checks and medical exam are needed to be cleared. In addition, applicants must also be:
Referred by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or another referral organization, or be sponsored by a private sponsorship group.
Selected as a government-assisted or privately sponsored refugee or have the funds needed to support yourself and any dependents after arrival in Canada.
Sponsoring Refugees:
Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program
Joint Assistance Sponsorship
Individual or group sponsors can take the responsibility of refugees for providing them emotional and financial settlement assistance for the duration of one year. Some refugees, however, may receive this assistance for a longer time period.

First impressions on Villanova's scrimmage against Drexel
Posted: November 1, 2017 - 11:14 PM
Mike Kern | @mikekerndn | kernm@phillynews.com
Villanova freshman Colin Gillespie (right), an Archibshop Wood grad, battles for a loose ball against Drexel's Sammy Mojica in the team's scrimmage on Wednesday at Villanova's Jake Nevlin Fieldhouse.
ELIZABETH ROBERTSON / Staff Photographer
Some initial observations from Wednesday night's Villanova's exhibition game against Drexel at Jake Nevin Field House to help raise funds for the hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico:
First let's remember that while Drexel will be improved this season under second-year coach Zach Spiker, this was still a warm-up against a Colonial Athletic Association team and March is a full four months away. Nevertheless …
Jay Wright started a lineup that included four guards. Three you kind of figured on — Jalen Brunson, Phil Booth and Donte DiVincenzo. The other was freshman Collin Gillespie, from Archbishop Wood, who came on as a big-time recruit late in his high-school career. Wright doesn't mind playing small. In fact, he probably prefers it. This might not be the way he goes in the official opener against Columbia on Nov. 10 in South Philly, or beyond. But the idea of bringing forwards Makil Bridges and Eric Paschall, two fourth-year juniors, off the bench is certainly interesting. And maybe even game-changing. Bridges and Paschall started the second half in place of Gillespie and Omari Spellman. The biggest thing for Bridges now is to grow/evolve at the offensive end.
Spellman, the highly recruited big man who sat out last year as an academic redshirt, looks like a guy who has lost 35 pounds and is eager to show what he's got at this level. He made a 3-pointer from the right corner on the first trip, which can't be a bad sign. And it wouldn't be his last. He was active. But this will be a work in progress, just because. In his case, though, the learning curve might be at least a bit accelerated. It's just way too early to know for sure.
Brunson continues to be one of those guys who know when it's his time to do something, and understands when it's better for him and the team to defer. That's what makes him such a valuable commodity to have running your team. We haven't seen the best of him yet. And what we've already been treated to was pretty darned potent.
Knock on wood, but Booth looks ready again after missing most of last season with knee issues. And that can only be a very good thing. His outside shooting alone can make a difference, but he does so much more. Just ask North Carolina. He made an alley-oop pass to Bridges cutting along the right baseline that was Brunson-like. He also gives you all that subtle stuff.
Another first-year man, 6-5 Jermaine Samuels, got in early. He's the member of this incoming class who many folks felt was most likely to have the biggest impact in the rotation. We'll have to see. But he's the kind of versatile perimeter player that Wright has gotten a lot out of through the years. And 6-9 Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, from Neumann-Goretti, will also get a chance early to earn minutes. But it won't be easy to crack much into the top seven. That's why they're ranked sixth.
The university should seriously consider playing one early-season game each season at Nevin. The Wildcats are playing Penn there in late November, the first time they've played there since 1986. That's what happens when your Pavilion is getting a makeover. But it might be an idea worth perpetuating in the future. Just saying. Yo, Rollie's teams played there on a regular basis. Worth noting, though, that the floor had to be wiped off more than normal.
The Dragons, as you'd expect, came out and played hard. They usually do. They were just out of their league, at least at this point. But sophomore guard Kurk Lee, who's 5-10, is once more going to be one of the most exciting guys to watch in the city. It's a good enough reason to make your way to the Daskalakis Center for a hoops fix. And 6-10 newcomer Tadas Karainas, from Lithuania by way of Findlay Prep in suburban Las Vegas, looks like a keeper who can give you something inside as well as the perimeter.
 Oh by the way, the Wildcats won 87-68. See you again in nine days at the Wells Fargo Center for the start of the real thing.

Over the last four weeks, Nats fans have watched the team's season unravel. After losing the second game of a 4-game set against the Giants, our odds of reaching the playoffs, which recently had stood at 90% or higher, have plunged to 36% according to FanGraphs and 21% according to Baseball Prospectus. What happened? And more importantly, what can be done to turn things around?
We can break up the season into three periods. At the end of the first 45 games, May 25 (after the first game of a series in Wrigley against the Cubs) the Nats record stood at 27–18, a .600 winning percentage, or on pace for 97 wins. Although the Nats led the surprisingly strong Mets by only 2-1/2 games, the forecasts favored the Nats' stronger talent to easily win the division—according to FanGraphs, their odds of winning the division stood at 95%, and of reaching the playoffs at 98%. The Nats had played well, scoring 4.8 runs per game while hitting .257/.324/.417, while allowing 4.2 runs per game, recording 8.1 strikeouts, 2.4 walks, and 0.6 home runs per 9 innings.
Looking deeper, there were some causes for concern. Several key players were out with injuries (Anthony Rendon, Jayson Werth, Denard Span, Doug Fister) while others seemed to be struggling (Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond, Stephen Strasburg). The team appeared to be overly reliant on two big stars—Bryce Harper, who had emerged as perhaps the best player in the National League, and Max Scherzer, who was dominating National League hitters. Another pleasant surprise was the renewal of Danny Espinosa's ability to hit.
Our second period runs from May 26 through July 17, the first game after the All-Star Game (that bizarre game when the lights kept going out, which was won the next day on Matt den Dekker's 8th inning home run). During that period, the Nats went 22–21, or just a little over .500. Their hitters fell to 3.8 runs scored per game during that span, while the pitchers improved to 3.5 runs allowed per game. The team, which was suffering from injuries, wasn't playing great, but the Mets were also playing .500 ball so the Nats still had a 3-game lead. At that point, the Nats were 10 games over .500 and on pace to win 90 games.
During that period, Strasburg, Zimmerman, and Span went out on injuries, and Rendon came back and played 18 games, then went on the DL again. The team became increasingly reliant on Harper and Scherzer.
Over the four weeks from July 18 to August 14, the Nats have gone 9–18, and are now trailing the Mets by 4 games, only one game over .500. They've scored only 3.6 runs per game, while they've allowed an average of 4.3 runs per game. They are striking out more (23.7% compared to 20.7% through July 17) and are walking less (7.9% compared to 8.2%). Their batting average is down more than 30 points (.224 compared to .255) and slugging is down 45 points (.357 compared to .402).
It's true that the Nats have faced some tough pitching. Kershaw, Greinke, Harvey, deGrom, Cole, and Fernandez would be on anyone's list of the top 15 starters in the NL.* If starts were distributed randomly, the Nats would expect to face one of the top 15 starters in 20% of the games, whereas they've faced these pitchers 10 times in the last 27 games—and have lost 9 of 10! They've also lost games to pedestrian starters like Rubby de la Rosa and Ryan Vogelsong.
I think the key reason that I'm pessimistic is that the Nats seem to be straining. In the second half, their "whiff" (swinging strike) rate of 12.4% is the highest of all major league teams. In comparison, in the first half their 9.9% rate was only slightly higher than the major league average (9.7%). As the situation becomes ever more dire, they are chasing pitches and trying to hit home runs, leading instead to more strikeouts.
Move Werth into a partial platoon with Clint Robinson. Werth came back to soon and is still struggling to find his stroke. It isn't clear yet whether he'll find it this season, but for now, I'd have Robinson start in his place about half the games we play against right-handed pitchers, or 2 or 3 times a week. I'd also have him replace Zimmerman once a week against right handers to give Zim some rest.
I'd also try to start Espinosa at least three times a week, spelling Rendon, Desmond, and Yunel Escobar. Between his glove and his power, he's a valuable player and should be used regularly, both to keep him sharp and to keep the others rested.
Scherzer looks like he may have a sore arm. If nothing warrants putting him on the DL, I'd at least consider letting him rest for one turn through the rotation, skipping his next start that's scheduled in Colorado. While Williams can be forgiven for letting him pitch complete games in his 1-hitter and no-hitter, he clearly overworked him in several subsequent games, and I'm wondering if Scherzer's arm is now paying the price.
The bullpen is mediocre, and although Rizzo made a move at the trade deadline, it's really a problem that was foreseeable and should have been repaired last winter. I'm doubtful that much can be done with a waivers deal, so my best advice is to ask Williams to focus on: a) making sure that the relief pitchers are used regularly, neither over-worked nor under-worked; b) concentrate on using the lefties, Matt Thornton and especially Felipe Rivero in favorable platoon matchups. Right-handed batters have an .851 OPS against Rivero, compared to .468 by lefties. Yet 57% of the batters that Rivero has faced have been right-handed. In too many games, I see Williams send out pitchers in seeming disregard for the platoon advantage.
I guess the last thing is somehow, let's try to get the confidence and the swagger. This team is good—I think it's still fundamentally a better team than the Mets—and it only takes a few victories to start turning things around.
*Update – I guess if I'm going to refer to the top 15 starters in the NL, I probably ought to give my list. Here it is, based both on this season's statistics and on the projections shown at FanGraphs: 1) Clayton Kershaw, 2) Zack Greinke, 3) Jose Fernandez, 4) Jacob deGrom, 5) Max Scherzer, 6) Jake Arrieta, 7) Jaime Garcia, 8) Gerrit Cole, 9) Jon Lester, 10) Matt Harvey, 11) Madison Bumgarner (would rank higher if we included his hitting), 12) Shelby Miller, 13) Noah Syndergaard, 14) Tyson Ross, and 15) Stephen Strasburg (yes, I still rank him ahead of Zimmermann!).
In giving the statistics above, I debated whether to include Syndergaard, who—as you see—makes my own top 15, but the way I worded it was they'd be on "anyone's list," so I decided to leave Sydergaard off. Frankly, things get really fuzzy after # 11, so it isn't clear that number 12 through 15 are any better than pitchers ranked 16 through 25. To fill things out, here are the near misses for my top 15 list: 16) Lance Lynn, 17) Michael Wacha, 18) Mike Bolsinger, 19) Francisco Liriano, 20) Carlos Martinez, 21) Jordan Zimmermann, 22) Gio Gonzalez, 23) John Lackey, 24) Taylor Jungmann, 25) Jason Hammel.

Landfills produce pollutants that negatively impact humans and the environment. In developing countries such as South Africa, landfilling is the most common form of solid waste management. People living in close proximity to landfills are particularly at risk to harmful pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although VOCs only constitute ~1% of landfill gas (LFG) emissions, they are of concern as the risk associated with these pollutants is high. Of particular concern within the VOCs, is the BTEX group (viz. benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes). These pollutants are wind dispersed to surrounding residential areas, exposing residents to hazardous gases. BTEX LFG emissions were quantified and spatially mapped using Radiello Passive Samplers (analysed by a GC with built-in FID) in residential areas around a landfill in Roodepoort, South Africa. The BTEX levels ranged from 8.83 to 39.62 μg.m–3. The effect of the slow south to south-westerly wind speeds of ~2.44 m.s–1, the valley terrain, and the location of the landfill resulted in a BTEX 'hotspot' north and east of the landfill site. Combined with the passive sampling strategy, a study on residents perceptions revealed that residents were concerned with this 'hotspot' area and linked it to the landfill site. They were furthermore concerned with the landfill's associated pollution and odours. It was concluded that residents living closer to the landfill were at higher risk to BTEX, especially during the winter season. Future work should include sampling at the landfill site, specifically over different time frames to include seasonality, and possibly using different sampling methods.


"I contacted Denise in November 2017, after she was recommended by one of our team at Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. Due to staff changes we had an urgent need for a safe pair of hands to help us prepare for our annual audit, as well as undertake an objective review of our finance systems to make sure they were suitable for the charity's current position and future plans.
Denise responded promptly and started with us the following week, doing around 2 days a week. She was a delightful and supportive member of our team, fitting in straightaway, and providing mentoring and support for our bookkeeper who learned so much from her over the months she was here.
Denise provided an invaluable objective view of our processes, and was able to recommend some quick solutions to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data entry and recording, as well as troubleshoot some issues around pensions and VAT claims.
"Denise helped us during a period of staff sickness to cover credit control. She fitted in straight away and picked up the tasks I gave her very quickly. I am very impressed with Denise's knowledge of the finance function overall as well as her enthusiasm towards credit control. As we deal with international companies, credit control here is often difficult and frustrating but Denise's approach was a very happy, confident and friendly approach and the results were immediately evident. In Denise's first week she managed to chase in well over a third of the monthly target.


It's apple season and the grocery stores are overflowing with delicious, sweet apples. There are so many good treats you can make with apples.. I've been making my own applesauce lately and it's so easy to make.
Applesauce or apple puree is an ingredient in many recipes and can be used to replace eggs, oil and fat in baking. I use it in cookies, muffins, bread, pancakes etc. You can now buy it in a lot of grocery stores, however it's really simple (and tastes much better) when you make it yourself.
1. Peel, core and chop up the apples.
2. Add apples, water, lemon juice and cinnamon in a saucepan and let it cook for about 15 minutes over medium heat. The apples are done when you can easily mash them with a fork.
3. Let it cool, and add to a blender and blend until its smooth.
4. Pour it into a glass jar and store it in the fridge.


Preeclampsia, the leading cause of perinatal mortality (death of mother, fetus or newborn), is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and excessive protein in the urine, and it complicates five to seven percent of otherwise healthy pregnancies. Preeclampsia can set in anytime after 20 weeks of pregnancy or up to six weeks after delivery.
Its causes are not entirely known, but it can lead to premature births, learning disabilities, epilepsy, hearing and vision problems, as well as cerebral palsy. Five percent of patients with preeclampsia progress into eclampsia, which can be potentially fatal and involve convulsions and coma.
A recent study considered whether the use of (1000 mg) vitamins C and (400 IU) vitamin E could prevent complications linked to preeclampsia. The study engaged 10,154 women between the 9th and 16th weeks of pregnancy and who were at low risk for preeclampsia. The multi-university led study concluded that vitamin C and E supplementation did not reduce the rate of adverse maternal or perinatal outcomes.
If you, your child or someone you love suffered an injury or death because of a missed diagnosis of preeclampsia, you should contact the medical malpractice attorneys who specialize in cases involving preeclampsia at Berger & Lagnese, headquartered in Pittsburgh, and obtain a free consultation.


I received another SMGF box to review. 🙂 My biggest de-motivation cause for keeping up with this blog has been my camera, which can't always take lovely pictures where white is present, but I've decided to throw caution to the wind and just post things anyway. When I get a better camera, I'll take better pictures — and I can easily replace pictures I've already taken, too.
Anyways, if you purchase through my link, I'll earn a small percentage of the transaction as compensation, at no extra cost to you.
Of all the subscription boxes I've tried, Send Me Gluten Free is one of my favorites — each box means business, containing at least one full-sized item, in addition to some other full-sized trial samples. They don't waste space in their box, and the boxes are bigger, featuring products and brands I otherwise wouldn't have ever known about.
Milton's Cheddar Cheese Crackers — Everyone and their mother seems to just love these. At first, the first-ever bite/taste of these were delicious. Ever since, however, they have repulsed me, and they don't actually taste like cheese. (I know cheese, trust me!) I do enjoy their multigrain flavor, though!
Enjoy Life Foods Sugar Crisp — Enjoy Life Foods is one of my all-time favorite allergy-free brands. I liked their sugar cookie, but I will continue love their Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies that, whilst crunchy, have a melt-in-your-mouth effect.
Ola! No Nut Vanilla — So delish! It's not crunchy like a lot of granola these days is.
Detour SMART Whole Grain Oatmeal Blueberry Bar — I rarely have blueberries, because I tend to get sick from them (probably because they are molds), and blueberry-included foods tend to not taste all that great. This granola bar was spot-on, though; I loved it!
Partners' Free for all Kitchen Crackers: Olive Oil and Sea Salt — Contrary to the plain-and-boring charade these crackers play, there is actually enough flavor in them! I like "bland" foods, though, so that could be why… these would be perfect for adding cheese, salsa, bean dip, or some other dip/topping to!
Other: Wildtree Taco Seasoning, Tummyzen Advanced Heartburn Relief, Saffron Road Food Moroccan Tagine Simmer Sauce, and NurturMe Dried Baby Food.

To be Seen in a Commodious Pavilion in this Place.
The Performing Pig & the Mermaid?
If not, pray do! as the exhibition contains more variety than any other in England. Those ladies and gentlemen who may be pleased to honour it with a visit will be truly gratified.
The Swinish Philosopher, and Ladies' Fortune Teller.
That beautiful animal appears to be endowed with the natural sense of the human being. He is in colour the most beautiful of his race; in symmetry the most perfect; in temper the most docile; and far exceeds any thing yet seen for his intelligent performances. He is beyond all conception: he has a perfect knowledge of the alphabet, understands arithmetic, and will spell and cast accounts, tell the points of the globe, the dice-box, the hour by any person's watch, &c.
or copy, but the same curiosity.
The great "prodigies" of this show were the "performing pig," and the performing show-woman. She drew forth the learning of the "swinish philosopher" admirably. He told his letters, and "got into spelling" with his nose; and could do a sum of two figures "in addition." Then, at her desire, he routed out those of the company who were in love, or addicted to indulgence; and peremptorily grunted, that a "round, fat, oily"-faced personage at my elbow, "loved good eating, and a pipe, and a jug of good ale, better than the sight of the Living Skeleton!" The beautiful dolphin was a fish-skin stuffed. The mermaid was the last manufactured imposture of that name, exhibited for half-a-crown in Piccadilly, about a year before. The real head of Mahowra, the cannibal chief, was a skull that might have been some English clodpole's, with a dried skin over it, and bewigged; but it looked sufficiently terrific, when the lady show-woman put the candle in at the neck, and the flame illuminated the yellow integument over the holes where eyes, nose, and a tongue had been. There was enough for "a penny!"

The Skating Club of Boston is a not-for-profit figure skating club based in Norwood, Massachusetts.  Founded in 1912, it is one of the oldest skating clubs in the United States, and a founding member of U.S. Figure Skating, the governing body for the sport in the United States. The Club's mission is to advance participation, education and excellence in skating for people of all ages, abilities and means. The Club has over 800 active members and offers a variety of programs for the public, reaching another 2,000 children and adults. The club built its own rink in Brighton, Massachusetts in 1938 and remained there until moving to the Norwood facility in 2020. In addition, in a public private partnership with the City of Boston's Parks & Recreation Department, the Club manages the programming and facilities for The Frog Pond located at Boston Common on a year-round basis.

Facility
The club's current facility, located on University Avenue in Norwood, Massachusetts, officially opened to the public in September 2020, delayed from June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility features three rinks including the Tenley E. Albright Performance Center, a 2,500-seat Olympic-sized arena named for the Olympic champion and Club member. Two of the club's three rinks are used exclusively for figure skating, a rarity as most skating rinks are shared between figure skating and hockey.

In addition to the ice surfaces, the club's facility is home to a gym, sports rehabilitation and off-ice conditioning center, dance studio, café, and academic center. Also within the facility is Home Ice, a store for skate fitting, sharpening, and apparel.

Club activities

Like many other skating clubs in North America, The Skating Club of Boston includes many social and volunteer activities along with skater development and athlete training. These include special dinners acknowledging volunteers, awards banquets celebrating skater achievements and competitions, and special exhibitions supporting community programs and athlete development. The Club supports a junior activities program encouraging leadership and community activities with its junior members.

The Boston Open is held annually in September and attracts skaters from across New England. Every spring the club showcases its many talented skaters in Ice Chips, the longest continuous run of any skating carnival in the world. In addition to the skaters training for local, national, and world competitions, the Club programming includes several of its own Theatre On Ice teams and provides a high performance skating program for youth interested in accelerated training, both on and off the ice. The club is affiliated with Team Excel, a synchronized skating organization.

The Club has hosted the United States Figure Skating Championships seven times, most recently in January 2014. In 2016, the Club hosted the ISU World Figure Skating Championships, a first for the city of Boston. The Club also hosted the 2011 U.S. U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships and the 2013 ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships.

Q: Outlook add-in to launch when using File Explorer Send to - Mail Recipient I have a Outlook add-in that adds visual things to the email compose window and then catches the send-event, does stuff, and then let Outlook send or cancel it.
Works fine, but if I use the send file option from explorer, without outlook running, it will not start the add-in. The window is missing all the added UI elements. When I click send button it will start the add-in. I get a welcome screen we coded and it starts logging the add-in startup debug messages.
But it will not catch the send event or do anything else for that matter. The last log message shows init was completed. The Outlook process will be left in the task manager. If I open Outlook after that I will see that the email I sent is in outbox. Without any modifications the event handler would have done.
Is there anyway to get add-into run in this use case?

A: Looks like this problem was because I had only run the project in debug mode from Visual studio. I had never installed it from the package.
Once I had ran the installer it begun to start the add-in as soon as I chose "send to mail recipient" thus fixing the problem.

Maybe the best Progressive Metal Album I've heard. Great Everygrey stuff. If you like SYMPHONY X, DREAM THEATER, or any Doom, gothic or Doom metal there's a likelyhood you will enjoy this album. It's dark, gloomyness, and power is delightful. This album ROCKS! Heavy Metal for sure! So far I like the vocal style here best in the Evergrey stuff. He sticks with a lower, gruffer, raspy, yet clean voice. I don't remember any growling. Good backing vocals too. This one reminds me more of an upbeat sounding SYMPHONY X album in places, but plenty gloomy enough for Evergrey. 'I'm Sorry' is a nice mellow break from the power metal which dominates 80% with nice breaks disperssed thru the album. Song #9- "Madness Caught Another Victim" is a fantastic short acoustic song, reminds me of PAIN OF SALVATION's 12:5 work. Also there are some very QUEENSRYCHE/MINDCRIME sounding moments... especially on "Unforgiveable Sin" Like others said, very melodic, varied, progressive album. Good keys to back the booming,chugging guitars and pounding drums. I'm an Everygrey fan although their albums tend to bog down some during a full listen, this one doesn't. It meets my "Progressive" qualifications also, which I guess are broader than others. RECREATION DAY is one of the better examples of the Progressive Metal Genre.


The court challenge Governor Rochas Okorocha made against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, took an unexpected turn when the Federal High Court Judge presiding over the matter in Abuja, disqualified himself.
The outgoing governor who brought over case following the non-issuance of his Certificate of Return as the Senator- elect for Imo West Senatorial District has also fallen out of favour from the ruling party over his anti-party activities.
In the suit filed FHC/ABJ/CS/296/2019, the Imo state Governor is requesting that INEC be compelled to issue him with a certificate of return. But, the electoral body has so far refused, claiming that Francis Ibeawuchi, the electoral officer who announced Governor Okorocha has winner of the February 23 election did so under duress.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo who decided to recuse himself from the case on Wednesday, said it was based on a petition written against him by candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Judge has now returned the case back to the Chief Justice.

All I ever wanted was a healthy child. Justin seemed to be the healthiest of all the nieces and nephews. He had the heartiest appetite, loved sports even as a toddler, and he was even referred to as the "bruiser." He was such an easy baby. His laid back demeanor, and his warm smile could warm up anyone's heart.
Although he was doing well in his last year of preschool and was his usual cheerful self, I noticed some changes that really bothered me. He started to have random vomiting throughout the summer of 2004. My husband and I thought it could possibly be food allergies, reflux, or a virus of some sort, so we didn't worry too much at first. But, then we started to notice a change in Justin's personality. At times Justin seemed irritable; his eyes clouded and at times Justin even seemed easily worn out. It wasn't till one day on the Jersey Shore, that I remember and can never forget, my sister saying, "Justin doesn't seem right." I realized that she was seeing something I could not.
On August 17, 2004, I waited with Justin and his sister Jenna Marie, who was only four months old at the time, for the radiologist tech to say we could leave after Justin had his CAT scan. The pediatrician had ordered this CAT scan because he felt he couldn't figure out why Justin had been vomiting for so many weeks. It was honestly the pediatrician's last resort.
Little did any of us know or could we have ever been prepared for the results of that CAT scan. The results would lead to our family's greatest challenge. We were told to wait in the lobby because the pediatrician would have to call me. When the call came in, the lady behind the desk called out my name. The kids and I walked up to her. On the other end, Dr. Fox asked, "Are you alone?" I answered, "Yes, why?" I remember feeling nervous, anxious, and irritable. I was in no mood to have someone beat around the bush with me. It was at that point Dr. Fox shared with me the news that Justin had a growth in his brain, and that he would probably need surgery. I told him I would call my husband and that we would get back with him. I wanted to cry, scream, fall to the ground, and plead for mercy. I remember feeling like life was standing still, but the world was going on around me. I remember looking down at Justin and saying, "Okay, I have to call Daddy." My body felt hot. I was scared beyond belief. But, somehow I managed to keep my composure.
On August 25, Justin, then five years old, was admitted to Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. It was then they diagnosed him with a brain tumor. Two days later, he endured six hours of brain surgery. The neurosurgeon, Dr. Derek Bruce, successfully extracted his brain tumor; which was located in the 4th ventricle, resting on Justin's brain stem. It was about the size of a small egg. How could this get any worse? The pain on his face was unbearable. But, it did get worse. The following day we were told the tumor was a malignant, stage 4, ependymoma brain tumor. We were told that the type of tumor Justin had would not respond to chemotherapy but that it would respond to radiation.
Fortunately, we were friends with the mother of one of Justin's preschool classmates. Her father is renowned in the neurology world. They knew we needed guidance and support, and that we were stuck. Thanks to her father, she introduced us to a type of radiation we might otherwise not have known about--proton beam radiation. We weren't told about this treatment. We had only heard about intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). We looked into both options. We found out the advantages of what proton beam vs. IMRT were. Proton beam radiation delivers the optimal dose of radiation to the tumor target volume and minimal or no radiation to normal tissues and organs. As with the IMRT radiation, there would still be an exit beam hitting healthy parts of Justin's brain.
Figuring proton beam therapy would be the way we would want to go, we decided that getting proton beam therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston would be the route we would take. Now all we had to do was wait to see if he would be accepted into Massachusetts General Hospital. Our insurance would have to cover the treatment. But, where would we stay for the almost two months? What about the commute between Northern Virginia and Boston? How could my husband continue to work and help care for our sick son and our four month old baby?
While we were waiting to hear from Massachusetts General, we kept busy by going to doctor, occupational therapy, and physical therapy appointments at Children's National Medical Center. Justin had to learn how to walk all over again. His gross and fine motor skills were affected by the surgery. But within a few weeks, the staff at the hospital helped Justin walk without a walker. By late September 2004, we received the news from Massachusetts General Hospital that Justin would be accepted into the proton beam therapy protocol, assuming he could tolerate his treatments without anesthesia. The facility did not have any available slots for pediatric patients that needed anesthesia. We took our chances and expressed to Justin the importance of not moving during his upcoming treatments. Perhaps we were expecting a lot out of Justin. We just knew in our hearts that we wanted him to have proton beam therapy. So, we told our very supportive family and friends the great news. We made arrangements to stay at a hotel close to the hospital, and then we packed our bags. People are amazing during times of need. We received food from strangers, notes of kindness, and there were endless amounts of emotional and financial help. My husband's coworker threw Justin a going away party. All the love humbled us.
On October 17th, we left for Boston. Two days later, he started treatment. Fortunately, the side effects were minimal. He was a bit fatigued, and his appetite was lessened, but overall, he seemed like the strong five-year-old we so adored. The treatment was interrupted with visits from Virginia and Louisiana relatives, almost daily trips to the mall, the circus, and even a Red Sox game. We tried to put as much fun and normalcy into Justin's treatment.
On December 1, 2004, Justin had his last treatment--two short of what the new protocol recommended. We had decided the risks did not outweigh the benefits (for example, paralysis), as he already had 31 treatments rather than the normal 30. And by this time, after approximately six weeks of treatment, Justin was a little paler and skinnier, and his balance seemed more out of kilter.
We thanked our team of outstanding doctors, nurses, technicians, social worker, and school tutor, and we packed our bags and headed home in time for Christmas. It was bittersweet. On one hand, he was done with treatment; on the other hand, we were no longer actively doing anything to make sure the cancer would not return. Two years and three months have passed since treatment ended. It seems so long ago but the nervousness and anxiousness seems like yesterday. We still have reminders of how our lives have changed since Justin's surgery, diagnosis, and proton beam treatment.
At the beginning of this year, we opted to have both of Justin's eyes realigned. The brain surgery had left his eyes a bit cross-eyed and left him with double vision. That surgery was a success, but he will need to endure yet another surgery to bring down his left eye.
As Justin grows and becomes more aware of himself and the world around him, he is now beginning to ask questions about what he went through and what that means for his future health. "Where did I have my melon removed? "Didn't I have it removed in Boston, not DC?" "Are my eyes going to get better?" Furthermore, Justin is aware that he is slower than other kids because of his brain surgery.
The year following treatment, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of Make a Wish Foundation granted Justin his wish for him and his family, and even his cousin, Jake, to take a Disney cruise. Approximately a year after his diagnosis, we were on our best family vacation ever. There was never a cloud in the sky, the weather was impeccable, and the cruise was amazing. It definitely put the finishing touch on our hardest year ever as a family. As a parent of a brain tumor child, that's all we want for our kids--never a black cloud overhead and smooth sailing for eternity.
There is normalcy to life now, but we can never forget that long and dreadful time. Quarterly MRIs and visits to the oncology clinic are reminders of how everything could change, just like that. Statistically, there is always a chance his cancer can return. Everyday I count my blessings and pray daily that he is forever healed.
To all that are met with this same challenge, my heart aches for you and your child. We have all learned empathy the hard way. But, somehow we know that we can all relate, and there is a special camaraderie amongst us. My wish for you, my prayer for you is that you find the strength to lean on the kindness of loved ones and strangers when you are weak, that you have the courage to let you and your child be scared, and that you embrace the unimaginable power of hope and love.

Barossa is one of the six wine-producing zones of South Australia, and arguably the most recognised name in the Australian wine industry. Barossa wines have attracted more international awards than any other region in the country.
It is divided into two sections: the western Barossa Valley (effectively the warmer valley floor) and on the eastern side the cooler, higher altitude Eden Valley, both of which have a distinct Geographical Indication (GI) formalised in 1997. Grape growing conditions vary immensely across the wider Barossa zone and this is reflected in the markedly different wine styles produced here.
Shiraz accounted for 56 percent of all plantings in the Barossa zone in 2017, focused on the Barossa Valley floor. Barossa Shiraz has traditionally been made in an intense, powerful, expression, and is arguably Australia's most famous wine style. Riesling is particularly prominent in the Eden Valley, and can also reach quality levels comparable to any other global region.
Other very high quality Barossa wines are produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Semillon and Viognier. Additionally, GSM-style blends have earned high acclaim, as Grenache and Mourvedre (also known as Mataro in the region) perform extremely well in Barossa's warm and dry climate. Recently the zone has also been a hotbed of experimentation, with new vine varieties such as Tempranillo and Zinfandel making their mark on local and international markets.
The Barossa zone lies northeast of Adelaide Hills and is a compact geographical unit with a variable landscape of gently elevated terrain and flat valley floors. The overall climate is hard to categorise as conditions vary – not only due to the elevation but also because of the inland locations and the coastal influence. The valley floors are very hot during summer, with temperatures often exceeding 95F (35C). This, along with scant rainfall and limited natural water in the soil, makes irrigation essential. On the other hand, the higher areas are cool with distinctly high diurnal temperature variation, which helps to bring out the best from the aromatic varieties as well as assisting a high degree of phenolic ripeness in the grapes.
The Barossa takes its name from the Barrossa Ridge in Andalucia, Spain. The latter was the site of a British victory over the French during the Napoleonic Wars. The former aide-de-camp of the victorious British commander was appointed Surveyor General of the new colony of South Australia in 1836, and named this area, though the spelling was mis-recorded by an official.
The area was settled by English and Silesian settlers; the former were typically more wealthy and more likely to farm sheep and cattle. The Silesians experimented with various crops including tobacco before finding the climate suitable for wine grape growing. By 1900 Barossa was the largest wine-producing region in Australia.
Throughout the 20th Century the region endured various slumps, often when world events caused a slump in Imperial/Commonwealth demand. For much of the 1960s and 70s demand was focused on sweet sparkling wines, but from the 1980s the Barossa began to gain widespread fame for its blockbuster reds.

In Australia, from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006, national rotavirus serotype surveillance data indicated that serotype G1 was the most dominant serotype representing 40% of all strains. Serotype G1 continues to be the most frequently reported serotype worldwide and has been the most common Australian serotype, for all but two years since 1999.
In Australia, from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006, national rotavirus serotype surveillance data indicated that serotype G1 was the most dominant serotype representing 40% of all strains. Serotype G1 continues to be the most frequently reported serotype worldwide and has been the most common Australian serotype, for all but two years since 1999. From July 2001 to June 2003, serotype G1 was replaced by G9 as the most dominant serotype. Substantial geographical variation in prevalent serotypes has also been identified within Australia.6 This geographical and temporal variation in strains along with the diversity of strains capable of causing severe disease in children in Australia has potential implications for vaccine effectiveness should the prevalent strains diverge from those primarily targeted by the available vaccines.
Rotarix and Rotateq were licensed in Australia in 2006. Both vaccines have been available on the private market since June 2006 and Rotarix was publicly funded for babies in the Northern Territory from August 2006. Rotavirus vaccination has been included in the National Immunisation Program, commencing from 1 July 2007, with all infants born after 1 May 2007 eligible for vaccination. Victoria, South Australia and Queensland have included Rotateq in their vaccination program while the remaining jurisdictions have elected to use the Rotarix vaccine.
Prior to establishing a surveillance system for any condition, it is crucial to identify specific aims and ensure that any system is adequately sensitive and specific to achieve these aims.
Following the identification of surveillance system aims, further consideration needs to be given to the specific analyses that will be conducted, the importance of timeliness and the potential public health actions in response to surveillance data. Finally, the resources (including funding and personnel) that would be required to operate the system must be allocated and key stakeholders consulted prior to its introduction.
Based on the above criteria, the following is a list of possible aims of rotavirus surveillance in Australia with a brief discussion surrounding each aim.
Laboratories and doctors are likely to identify only a small proportion of all rotavirus cases (Figure). Public health follow-up on individual cases for rotavirus will therefore not be a feasible or appropriate method to control the spread of rotavirus.
Given that many rotavirus cases do not make contact with a health provider, the burden of rotavirus infection must be estimated.
Laboratory counts of patients who test positive for rotavirus depend on the number of tests done that is influenced by a number of factors including physician practice and access to laboratory facilities. While access to laboratory testing may remain stable within regions, other more unpredictable changes such as physician practices following the introduction of the vaccination and epidemics of gastroenteritis infection due to norovirus, may influence testing requests (Table). Thus interpreting trends over time in positive laboratory tests for rotavirus requires caution, especially at the national level.
Assuming that moderate to severe cases of rotavirus make contact with the hospital system, monitoring rotavirus coded hospitalisation data and mortality from all gastroenteritis-related codes over time could broadly detect changes in the burden of severe rotavirus.
Case surveillance could direct future scientific studies with clearly defined hypotheses and study population e.g. an increase in incidence in certain groups or geographic areas may warrant further research. With the introduction of the vaccine and expected decline in cases, outbreaks will provide an increasingly valuable opportunity to assess vaccine effectiveness.
The two rotavirus vaccines have undergone rigorous safety and efficacy trials each involving approximately 70,000 children.7,8 While public funding is not contingent on national effectiveness data, evaluating the impact of any rotavirus vaccination program is worthwhile to ensure maximum impact of the vaccination. The absence of a stable national baseline of rotavirus notification patterns and rates prior to vaccine introduction and the fact that laboratory data reflect only a proportion of the true incidence of rotavirus disease makes it difficult to assess the impact of vaccination at the national level. The opportunity cost of investing public health resources into individual case follow-up to determine vaccine status must be considered at the jurisdictional level. Specific scientific studies to better assess vaccine efficacy in defined populations may be appropriate and feasible under some circumstances, especially in areas of high incidence such as the Northern Territory.10 Australia may have the unique opportunity to compare the two vaccines, given that individual jurisdictions have chosen different vaccines.
The National Rotavirus Reference Centre has documented temporal and geographical variations in strain type in isolates sent from participating laboratories throughout Australia since 1999. Given the introduction of a vaccine in subgroups of the population, understanding the impact of vaccination on circulating serotypes is important. The prevalent strains of rotavirus have been shown to vary substantially in the absence of vaccine pressure so interpretation of changes following vaccine introduction is complex and likely to require a long time period. To maximise the usefulness of such data, the National Rotavirus Reference Centre must receive specimens from a sufficiently large and representative sample across the country.
Laboratory and hospitalisation data following vaccine introduction will add to the available descriptive epidemiological data from the pre-vaccine period. Analysis of additional risk factors including indigenous status would require follow-up of individual cases.
In Western Australia (since 2006), Queensland (since 2005) and the Northern Territory (since 1994), all laboratory-confirmed cases of rotavirus infection are notifiable conditions, which are reported to the health department under public health legislation. On the basis of notifications to health departments in 2006, there were 605 cases (rate = 311/100,000) in the Northern Territory and 2,508 cases (rate = 64/100,000) reported in Queensland. Laboratory surveys in New South Wales suggest that just over 1,000 (rate = 18/100,000) stool samples tested positive for rotavirus in 2006.
The National Rotavirus Reference Centre in Melbourne currently collects specimens from nine collaborating centres in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia in order to characterise rotavirus strains causing annual epidemics of severe diarrhoea in young children. Participating laboratories predominantly test specimens from hospitalised children.
Potential data sources in Australia include death registry data (although this is limited by small numbers), inpatient statistics for all gastroenteritis and episodes coded as due to rotavirus, emergency department presentations and institutional outbreak reports. Hospital and mortality data are delayed and are currently only analysed by researchers on an ad hoc basis.
Laboratory diagnoses and sentinel general practice presentations are two potential data sources for rotavirus surveillance but such data are not currently collected nationally. The advantages and limitations of these data sources are discussed in the Table.
Extensive safety data exists for both rotavirus vaccines7,8 and post licensure studies are underway in the USA. While intussusception was identified as an adverse event of the older rotavirus vaccine licensed in 1998 in the USA15 (prompting its later withdrawal), no association with intussusception has been found for the two new rotavirus vaccines. The existing reporting through the Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee can be used to monitor any adverse events associated with rotavirus vaccines but has substantial limitations, as it is a passive reporting system. In 2007, to coincide with the introduction of rotavirus vaccines into Australia, the Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit commenced a national study to monitor intussusception incidence in children aged less than 24 months.
Rotavirus is a cause of significant morbidity in children aged under five years in Australia. Clinical trials have shown that two available vaccines are highly efficacious in the prevention of severe diarrhoea and hospitalisation due to rotavirus. A national rotavirus vaccination program was initiated in Australia in July 2007.
Apart from immunisation, current tools are unlikely to be effective in controlling the spread of rotavirus in the wider community. Routine surveillance has limited value in assessing vaccine effectiveness.
Detect changes in the rotavirus serotypes to track whether prevalent strains match the available vaccine. This requires the National Rotavirus Surveillance Program to test a representative sample of rotavirus cases across Australia.
Monitor trends in the burden of rotavirus over time using data on positive laboratory tests stratified by jurisdiction and hospitalisations from all gastroenteritis-related codes and those coded as due to rotavirus. Mortality data are likely to be of limited value but are important to evaluate over a longer time period.
Provide a basis for further epidemiologic research.
States and territories should consider mandating laboratory reporting of patients with rotavirus infection under public health legislation to broadly monitor the burden due to rotavirus and facilitate collection of representative specimens for the National Rotavirus Reference Centre.
States and territories should ensure representative samples are submitted to the National Rotavirus Reference Centre for serotyping.
The National Rotavirus Reference Centre will continue to distribute annual reports to laboratories for circulation to stakeholders.
The Surveillance Branch of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance should regularly monitor mortality, hospitalisation data already collected and additional laboratory data, for changes in the burden of rotavirus over time.
Special studies that address specific research questions such as vaccine efficacy in certain groups may be undertaken by jurisdictions with the interest and capacity to do so, especially for groups at special risk such as Indigenous children in high incidence areas.

The Long and Pretty Good-bye
By Megan Mayhew Bergman
Our Correspondents
Megan Mayhew Bergman's column is about naturalism. This week, she discusses the role of modern elegiac writing in an era of extinction.
Michelle Blade, Entrance, 2014, acrylic on canvas, 60″ x 46″.
It is truly strange to no longer inhabit the earth,
to no longer practice customs barely acquired,
not to give a meaning of human futurity
to roses, and other expressly promising things
—Rilke, "The First Elegy"
Last week, my daughters and I were talking about the extinction of the northern white rhino, looking at a photograph I took last November through a fence at Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
"He's the last of his kind," I said, pointing to the hulking animal in sagging, dusty-white skin. "And one day soon, no northern white rhinos will exist."
"Why?" they wanted to know.
Detailing the horrors of poaching and civil war in the Congo and Sudan seems harsh, and I'm still learning how to talk to my girls about the human hand in death and change. When a neighbor died, the answer was still safely that "death is the natural course of things," but the answers become more complex when we talk about war, extinction, or place. How do we acknowledge human complicity, the way resource consumption impacts the habitat and survival of other species?
My husband is a veterinarian, and animals are essential to our children's upbringing. We own five dogs, three cats, chickens, and an old Nubian goat. I think often of Lydia Millet's 2012 op-ed in the New York Times, where she wrote of the important role of animals in children's play and imagination, their prevalence in books and toy stores.
But what if toys were eventually all humanity has for children to know of lions and giraffes? In her elegy, Millett writes, "Those of us who are watching as the large mammals of the savanna, the colorful fish of the bleaching reefs, the seals and walruses of the melting poles are sacrificed to what could be the planet's sixth mass species extinction: will we be the last, maybe the only, generation to grieve at their departure?" It seems we are at least the last generation to record it.
Elegiac writing is a way to catalog loss, perhaps contextualize it, and to occasionally make sense of the aftermath. Lately, I've seen elegiac writing everywhere, most recently in Mary Oliver's collection of essays, Upstream, in which she eulogizes the old Provincetown she called home:
And then the terrible change began. The great rafts of fish began to diminish. The satisfaction of a day's work also began to vanish. Overfishing, climate change, and little boats that were growing older every year were the causes … A town cannot live on dreams.
This year, there have also been J. D. Vance's best-selling Hillbilly Elegy, postelection elegies for the country and democracy, The Atlantic's elegy for giraffes, and Outside's viral obituary for the Great Barrier Reef. It's author, Rowan Jacobsen, began: "The Great Barrier Reef of Australia passed away in 2016 after a long illness. It was 25 million years old."
Some decried Jacobsen's obituary as premature—the Great Barrier Reef is not fully dead—but it was an inventive and powerful use of form, wading into the inevitable death of a living structure. Jacobsen wrote explicitly about the hypothetical loss:
For most of its life, the reef was the world's largest living structure, and the only one visible from space. It was 1,400 miles long, with 2,900 individual reefs and 1,050 islands. In total area, it was larger than the United Kingdom, and it contained more biodiversity than all of Europe combined. It harbored 1,625 species of fish, 3,000 species of mollusk, 450 species of coral, 220 species of birds, and 30 species of whales and dolphins. Among its many other achievements, the reef was home to one of the world's largest populations of dugong and the largest breeding ground of green turtles.
Cue the empty virtual howl of mass mourning. I admire these authors' willingness to spare false hope for the comfort of others, willing to spell out certain, looming catastrophe. "Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it," Joan Didion wrote. A writer can lead the public into that grief, and perhaps an awakening.
These days, I find myself writing in elegiac fashion of my daughters' girlhoods. This was triggered one day in late summer when the three of us were swimming nude in the clear water of the backyard pool. As they swam to me, eyes glistening, hair slicked back, with their innocent bodies, I knew it was the last summer we would swim this way.
There is a burden of knowledge that falls upon a child—an onset of modesty, an awareness that there is pain and suffering in the world. They start to witness the power of body and mind. They begin bearing the weight of all they have learned and all that is expected of them. They develop the tools to imagine their futures.
That day at the pool the girls emerged from the water and ate bright orange popsicles, juice dripping down their wrists. As a mother, you learn the look of an unburdened face, and as I watched them move through the summer afternoon, I wished they could stay on one side of the line, know a life in a fresh world, live on a healthy planet.
In poetry, traditional elegies move through three stages: lament, praise, and solace. The modern elegiac form may struggle increasingly with the latter. What solace can be found in a dying planet?
Come January, we'll have a climate skeptic leading our nation, a man I presume has never spent a great deal of time in nature outside a golf course. He has an enormous educational opportunity ahead, steering our nation through important years of rising seas, disturbed weather patterns, significant extinctions, and the global civil unrest these challenges provoke. It takes humility and foresight to lead a nation through such physical and psychologically trying times. It is my greatest wish that our president-elect will miraculously become a fellow mourner and act accordingly. Given his appointment of at least five climate-change skeptics to his cabinet, this seems unlikely.
We live in a time of rapid change. Mom-and-pop stores go under. Rhinos and giraffes vanish. Tribes and tribal languages disappear, like the last uncontacted tribes of Brazil, who are under pressure from disease and land loss. Coastlines change shape and homes, like those in my native eastern North Carolina, are swallowed by the sea. Children age into awareness. Forests fall. Flocks thin. Given the rate of extinction, estimated at a thousand to ten thousand times the natural order, the number of potential elegies in future years will be endless.
Perhaps one reason I elegize my daughters' girlhoods is that I've liked who I can be in their presence, someone vital and necessary who can afford hope for the future. Joan Didion wrote that "when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all." It is sometimes not the actual person or place at the heart of a literary elegy, but our relationship to the lost thing, our essence in the wake of its absence. Didion is right. The heart of a literary elegy is ourselves. Who we were once and are no longer. What we can no longer have.

Mass Extinction: What's Humanity Got To Do With It?
Probably not much, is the short answer.
By Martin Harris, 12/5/19
A recent UN report claims that "up to a million species of plants and animals are declining at a rate previously unseen in human history." Well, that's hardly surprising. It's being blamed on climate change. Again, hardly surprising. "Human history" barely registers an eyeblink on the scale of the Earth's history. Mass extinctions, however, are common occurences.
While there have been lesser extinction events (close of the last Ice Age for eg.), To the best of our knowledge there have been five Mass Extinction Events at fairly regular intervals in the Earth's past. Humanity wasn't around to witness them.
Many scientists believe the sixth Mass Extinction is actually in progress right now. Climate played a big factor in the previous five, (despite a deficit of handy humans to blame) along with other mechanisms. Currently the weakening of the Earth's magnetosphere is clearly a factor. Exactly how much human activity currently contributes to climate change is an uncertain and contentious issue, despite the UN and IPCC propaganda to the contrary. Perhaps a more valid issue might be: Are we ourselves part of Nature's schedule for extinction this time around?
Here's a list of "The Big Five" ELE's:
End Ordovician, 444 million years ago, 86% of species lost
Late Devonian, 375 million years ago, 75% of species lost
End Permian, 251 million years ago, 96% of species lost
End Triassic, 200 million years ago, 80% of species lost
End Cretaceous, 66 million years ago, 76% of all species lost
Makes the UN alarmism seem rather insignificant. While it's sad that we may lose species to the Earth's natural changes, there isn't much humanity can do to halt Nature's progress (except by geo-engineering, the consequences of which could be far more catastrophic than the natural process itself!).
This is an entirely different matter than extinction and endangerment due to poaching, unsustainable land use, destruction of environment etc, which IS caused by human mismanagement and CAN be addressed by the UN and the big corporations, if they can look up from signing climate accords and start taking some real responsibility, rather than blaming carbon!

Angelica Perduta says:
I totally agree: We need to stop seeing pollution and climate change as the same thing. Radiactive waste from nuclear power is far more lethal than life enhancing CO2 from restoring fossil carbon to the atmosphere.
Couldn't have put it better myself Angelica! All too often I end up arguing with a "climate cultist" who thinks that because we are skeptical, we don't care about the environment. Yet sites like Uncensored and other independent media sources constantly shine the spotlight on corrupt environmental crimes that the MSM ignore.
The AGW scam is both a Socialist agenda in disguise and a diversion from the real environmental issues.
