Lost in the weeds of a poll on the fortunes of Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto, Forum Research's latest poll on the feelings of Torontonians included provincial voting intentions, as well as thoughts on the on-going Ontario Liberal leadership race. The results show that the vote is splitting three-ways in Toronto, and that - shockingly - Torontonians favour a local boy for the leadership.
The poll found the New Democrats ahead in Toronto with 34%, putting them narrowly up on the Liberals, who were at 31%. The Progressive Conservatives came up third with 29%, while the Greens were well back at 5%.
Forum broke down the city into four regions, with each party leading in at least one of them. The New Democrats were ahead in Toronto/East York and in Etobicoke/York, while the Liberals were ahead in North York. The Tories had the edge in Scarborough.
But each part of the city was also split: the Liberals were in the race for Toronto/East York and the Tories in Etobicoke and North York, while all three parties were competitive in Scarborough.
That the Liberals are leading in North York should not be too surprising, they won all of the area's seats in October 2011. The NDP also did quite well in that election in their two pockets of support in this poll. But the PCs being ahead in Scarborough makes it quite possible that Tim Hudak could make a mini-breakthrough into Toronto. This could be an anomaly of the poll, as the Tories did not do very well in the Scarborough ridings in the last election, but it does suggest that the electoral map of Toronto could be a mish-mash of colours when Ontarians are called back to the polls.
Forum's look at the Ontario Liberal leadership race in Toronto tells us little about how the convention will unfold, but it does give an indication of what Torontonians, the last bastion the Liberals can still (mostly) count upon, would like to see as the outcome.
Not surprisingly, Gerard Kennedy and Kathleen Wynne, both from Toronto, topped the list. Kennedy came out well ahead, however, with 22% support as the best choice among all polled residents of the city. Wynne came up second with 11%, while Sandra Pupatello (Windsor) was third with 6%. Eric Hoskins (5%), Glen Murray (4%), and Charles Sousa (1%) rounded out the list.
Among Liberal voters in Toronto, Kennedy does better: 32% to 12% for Pupatello and 10% for Wynne.
It is worth noting that 27% of all respondents said they had no opinion and 21% said "none of these", leaving a lot of points on the table. If we remove them, along with the 3% who said "someone else", we get Kennedy at 45% to Wynne's 22% and Pupatello's 12%.
Word is that Kennedy's campaign is not as well organized as those of some of his main competitors, but having an edge in Toronto could be important. If most of the delegates from ridings in the city vote for him, he will have a solid base of support on the first ballot. Whether he will be able to grow that support, however, will be the big question at the convention - as it was in 1996.

The Liberals will have to improve a bit more to be highly competitive. The NDP vote will com
ncentrate in 9-10 seats. This is incumbents + 4-5 others like York South. The Tory vote will also concentrate in wealthier areas (Etobicoke Centre, Guildwood etc)
The Liberals need to make sure they don't get caught being second everywhere and first in very few seats. Under the above scenario I would look for NDP pick-ups in Scarborough Southwest, Rouge River, York South Weston, maybe 1-2 others.
Scarborough in the past was subject to big sweeps by the winning party. The old Anglo-Scottish Labour Party types are dying out replaced by heavy Chinese, Greek, Italian and south Asian populations.
When the Liberals or Tories are high in the polls they can run the table in Scarborough. When the NDP is up in the polls, they historicly did well south of 401 but they now have the Federal Rouge River seat and target it provincially.

Disappointing numbers for the NDP. They need to win 25+ seats in the GTA to have any hope of forming government. I don't think 34% will get them there as the NDP vote tends to be less efficient in Ontario than other provinces.
I don't think they should be going for government. The long term interest of the NDP involves the death of the Liberal Party. They they inherit the anti-Tory vote. The Grit vote will split of course but like Manitoba, it will split in the NDP's favour.
Bob Rae won 70 seats with 37% of the vote. That looks pretty efficient to me.
Rae had 37.6% but, I would bet in the GTA he did better.
The notion of an anti-Tory vote or anti-Liberal or anti-NDP vote is speculative. Certainly, some people vote against a government or person or party but, often people vote for a party, candidate or leader. I am always skeptical of such opinions because ultimately they reinforce a false perception of lack of choice or worse only two choices. People should vote for who they think will do the best job.
Any presumed death of the Liberal party is likely to diffuse their supporters to a variety of parties. I doubt it would split in the NDP's favour. The last federal election is a case in point. The Tories picked up far more seats than the NDP. In Ontario the two main parties are small "c" conservative parties with strong links to Bay St. so the natural cleavage would be to move over to the Tories.
It is a similar story in Britain where the demise of the Liberal party helped the Conservatives far more than Labour.
DL 22 November, 2012 14:47
What are you talking about? The decline of the Liberal party in the UK was singularly responsible for vaulting the Labour Party from third party status into power - and they have ruled the UK 1945-51, 1964-70, 1974-79 and 1997-2010 - not bad, eh?
As for 1990, the NDP under Rae actually did a lot better outside the GTA than inside it. They more or less split Toronto itself with the Liberals that year, the NDP was shut out of Peel and York regions, but really built their majority on sweeping the north and all the medium sized cities outside the GTA.
In the past 100 years Labour was in power for 30 years. Who was in power the rest of the time-The Tories or Liberals (usually in coalition with the Conservatives). A mediocre record when one puts it into context.
Old George 22 November, 2012 16:33
In 1990 the NDP won 18 seats in the GTA, Conservatives 3 and Liberals 9.
That was ther seat distribution in the City of Toronto alone...it doesn't count 905
Surprised the NDP are leading in Etobicoke and the Tories are leading in Scarborough.
The NDP can Etobicoke North, but I think they will remain in third place in Centre and Lakeshore.
The Tories will need to rely on the vote being split into their favour. The Tories won Scarborough Centre with 35% support federally. They can probably achieve the same results with the Liberals and NDP are hovering around 30% each in that region.
Another seat the ONDP will probably target will be York West - they gained a lot of ground there last year, it is actually the poorest riding in Toronto (home of the Jane-Finch corridor), and the Liberal incumbent is very old and lackluster and may not run again.
This is true. The NDP gained ground both federally and provincially in York West last year. The Liberals take this region for granted and probably would not be seen campaigning here.
If the NDP increase their groundwork in this riding, they could easily pick it up.
Anyone have the breakdown of the vote in Toronto last election? It would be instructive to do a direct comparison.

That should give you what you need to know.
Watch out for the Orange Wave in its Ontario form!
Time for labour unions to abandon the Liberal party and vote strategically to defeat the Tories.
The unions that support the Liberals, (building trades, Liuna, firefighters, nurses, teachers) are far less inclined to after this year. Teachers are famous for supporting McGuinty but it is not out of love. After their Mike Harris experience and Tim Hudak's announced policy on unions and pensions they have a dilemma. They will heavily support the NDP in the spring but will they also support some Liberals in seats where the NDP has no chance? We'll see.

Crazy to think the NDP could win in Etobicoke North aka Ford Country.
It is a seat the NDP once had? If the NDP won 40 seats Etobicoke North would be one of them.
Etobicoke North is actually a very poor riding with a huge Somali population, it was a safe NDP seat provincially from 1970 to 1995 and then went Liberal by a wide margin - the Tories are not even competitive there
MGK 22 November, 2012 14:54
I wouldn't read too much into that Kennedy margin. He has the highest public profile of all the candidates because of his previous leadership runs (even though 3 of his competitors are also Toronto MPPs, in a big city the local candidate doesn't have as much visibility as in rural ridings). The high number of "don't know" suggests that many respondents don't know enough about the candidates to form an opinion, so it makes a big difference.
I doubt most people in Ontario knew who Tim Hudak was until the writ was dropped during the last election. The Tories had a massive lead which fizzled out in a mere week.
This shows that the people of Ontario usually focus on provincial politics during election time.
If you ask a random person in Ontario to name three provincial cabinet ministers, I doubt the majority would be able to answer.
Could Sandra Pupatello Meet Her Waterloo in Windsor Tecumseh?
We may be getting way ahead of ourselves here. We have a leadership contest to run and Sandra Pupatello is only one of the leading candidates for the Ontario Liberal leadership, alongside Gerard Kennedy, Kathleen Wynne and dark horse Eric Hoskins. Nevertheless, Pupatello has belled the cat herself by arrogantly announcing that she will run in a by-election before she ends the prorogation of the legislature. This adds a minimum of six weeks to the endless and irresponsible break.
The by-election is widely expected to take place in Windsor Tecumseh, the seat presently held by Finance Minister Dwight Duncan. The assumption by the major media seems to be that this is a somehow a slam dunk for Pupatello, a mere formality in a Liberal stronghold. In fact it is far from a formality and could easily end in an ignominious defeat for Pupatello if, in fact she wins the Liberal leadership.
RESULTS for Windsor Tecumseh November 2011.
Candidate Party Raw Vote Vote %
Dwight Duncan Liberal 15,946 42.83%
Andrew McAvoy NDP 12,228 32.84%
Robert De Vertelil PC 7,571 20%
Justin Levesque Green 830 2.23%
Dan Dominato Libertarian 476 1.28%
The plain fact of the matter is that Windsor Tecumseh is NOT a safe Liberal seat. It is held at the Federal level by Joe Comartin, highly regarded NDP MP who has won it repeatedly. In the last Federal election Comartin received 49% of the vote, while the hapless Liberal in 3rd place received 12 % in exactly the same boundaries in which this by-election will be fought. In better times for the Ontario NDP before the Social Contract, both Windsor seats were routinely held by NDP MPPs. Both Windsor Federal seats are NDP seats. In summary, the voters of Windsor have no problem voting NDP when they choose to.
A mere shift of 5% away from the Liberals and to the NDP could easily scupper Pupatello's plans. Can't happen you say? Take a look at what happened in Kitchener Waterloo where the NDP rose almost 25% and the Liberal who was expected to win came in a distant third. The NDP is running at least 10% higher than in 2011 and the Liberals are running 10-15% behind their 2011 levels. When any party goes up 10% in the polls, they usually rise even farther in areas where they are strong. The provincial NDP had Windsor Tecumseh on the radar as one of their most likely pick-ups next spring even with Duncan remaining a
s the candidate. The PCs are currently in first place in Ontario. If a local PC candidate took 2% away from the Duncan 2011 result, the job for the NDP would be that much easier.
The NDP are specialists at by-elections. They can marshal a very strong ground game with volunteers from many surrounding ridings and even farther afield. They will bring in their best managers as well. Both the PC and NDP voters are often fewer in number than Liberals but also far more committed to actually voting. Liberal support is often 'a mile wide and an inch deep'. In a by-election, they are often the least likely voters and voting turn out in by-elections is always far lower than general elections.
We can safely assume that Dwight Duncan will have a major position with a bank or similar institution before St Patrick's Day. We cannot assume that Sandra Pupatello is the next MPP for Winsor Tecumseh.
Pupatello is not a shoo-in for MPP but, much will depend on the candidates. Windsor has often had "heavy hitters" inside cabinet Duncan being the latest example; federally Herb Grey held the riding for about 40 years.
I don't think there is any question the Grits are down and the Dippers up in the polls but, much may depend on the distribution-where are the Liberals and Tories holding their vote and where are they losing ground to the NDP?
If the polls are to be believed the NDP is up in ridngs such as Windsor -Tsecumseh-the question becomes; how sold is that new found support?

What do I need to do to prepare my garage for installation?
All that we ask is that your garage is completely empty before we arrive.
When can I move my belongings back into the garage?
Once installation is complete, we suggest that you wait at least twenty-four hours before walking on your garage floor surface. We recommend that you wait at least one week before driving or parking your car in the garage.

If you have white, green, or dark spots in your garage, you could potentially have a moisture problem. A simple test will determine if you do have this problem. Take a trash bag and tape it to the part of the floor you suspect has the problem. Wait a day and then remove it. If a dark spot or water droplets appear under the trash bag, you have a moisture problem, and we do not suggest the coating system for your garage floor until the moisture problem is corrected.

Lockheed Martin earnings Q2 2019

U.S. Air Force photo
Lockheed Martin turned in second-quarter earnings on Tuesday that were above what Wall Street anticipated from the world's largest defense contractor.
The company raised its 2019 forecast for both its top and bottom lines. Lockheed Martin now expects full year earnings between $20.85 a share and $21.15 a share, with revenue expected between $58.25 billion and $59.75 billion.
Shares of Lockheed Martin rose 2.9% in premarket trading from its previous close of $357.63.
Expectations vs. Results
EPS: $5.00 a share vs. $4.77 a share expected according to Refinitiv.
Revenue: $14.4 billion vs. $14.2 billion expected according to Refinitiv.
All four of Lockheed's business units – Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems and Space – delivered year-over-year increases in operating profit for this quarter. Lockheed's order backlog grew "to a new record level," Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn Hewson said in a statement, with $136.7 billion in total orders booked.
Lockheed kept language regarding "economic, industry, business and political conditions including their effects on governmental policy" that could prevent the sale or delivery of the corporation's products to its list of factors that may affect any forward-looking statements. It said government actions include delays from Congress on export approvals for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.Turkey was one of the founding international partners of the F-35, which is, America's most expensive weapons platform. But the fighter jet will no longer be sold to Turkey on the heels of a multi-billion dollar deal between Russia and Turkey. Earlier this month, Turkey accepted delivery of the Russian-made S-400, a mobile surface-to-air missile system, that is said to pose a risk to the NATO alliance.
The nation's top defense contractor also said trade policies or sanctions could impact business as well as the White House's recent decision to suspend Turkey's role in the F-35 program. Lockheed previously expected it would deliver 131 of the F-35 this year.
"Over the last several months we've been working to establish alternative sources of supply in the United States to quickly accommodate Turkey's current contributions to the program," Lockheed Martin said in an earlier statement.

COVID-19 Response Report – France
October 30, 2020 November 9, 2020 Jess Mahon 0 Comments
Yesterday France entered its second national lockdown, with this expected to be in place until the end of November. These new measures come as official COVID-19 cases in France surpass 1.3 million, with global coronavirus cases exceeding a staggering 45 million (as of 30th October 2020). President Macron's decision to impose such stringent restrictions undeniably signals that a treacherous and unprecedented winter lies ahead for France, and for Europe.
But how did France get to this point?
Lockdown measures were implemented on 17th March and were originally meant to be in place for just 15 days but were extended until 11th May. These mandatory measures were a full-scale national lockdown which included only leaving homes for essential reasons – these could be for food shopping, medical appointments, essential work or an hour of daily exercise. Additionally, people were required to have a signed and dated form justifying their reasons for leaving their home each time or they risked facing a fine of €135. Some local authorities also put in place their own restrictions, such as curfews or banning access to beaches. Essentially, the message from government was to stay at home.
Official daily case levels during the national lockdown were significantly lower than the 47,637 reported in the past day, however this is to be taken with a pinch of salt I should add. As with the UK, testing was not widely accessible during the first lockdown, and with the 'stay at home' order in place, people were not being regularly tested and thus the figures are not accepted to be truly representative. But Figure 1 (below) depicts exactly what was feared: a spike in cases during the winter months. As you can see, there was a spike in reported cases between March and May, and a consistent decline and plateau until August, where daily confirmed cases began to exceed 1500. This is likely due to the easing of lockdown measures in May and June, in addition to increased testing capacity.
As of 30th October, there has been a reported 36,020 coronavirus related deaths in France, with 235 in the last day alone. Over 115,000 cases of coronavirus have resulted in recovery and discharge from hospital, and at present, there are over 3000 serious or critical cases of coronavirus. According to The Financial Times, France is facing the possibility of up to 100,000 cases a day as the prospect of a vaccine moves further away, and as the country delves into winter.
Figure 1: New reported cases by day in France, NYT
The Financial Times also reported in April this year that France's 'weakness' in testing for the virus led to a major challenge in lifting lockdown. It discussed how Macron urgently wanted to ease restrictions in May, but that scientists wanted capacity for testing to be trebled first. In April, the capacity for testing was at 150,000 per week, but for lockdown restrictions to be lifted, Jean-François Delfraissy – chair of the scientific committee advising the government – described how the country must be at 500,000 tests per week in order to ease restrictions. By the first week of August, 500,000 tests per week were being carried out, with a claimed million by the end of the month, according to Kim Nguyen, a biologist working in a laboratory outside of Paris.
Figure 2: Outbreak evolution for the current 10 most affected countries, Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center
France has failed significantly in contact tracing, where The Connexion reports that only 2.6 million have downloaded the first version of their track and trace app, 'StopCovid', a clear failure in comparison to other EU states such as the UK and Germany, where such track and trace apps have been downloaded 16 million and 18 million times, respectively. When their app 'StopCovid' was released in late June, it did not request personal data such as a name and address, meaning that the government had little information about users of the app. This is due to the need for a balance to be struck between protecting public health and guarding the data privacy of its citizens. It also failed to win over the public due to a lack of confidence in its reliability and accuracy. A new, updated version of the app was scheduled for release on 22nd October and is expected to be more "dynamic and interactive" than the previous version.
Hospital admissions in France are increasing too, with the capital being hit the hardest. The concern here is whether its healthcare system will once more be overrun with patients, which will cause further ramifications for those who have surgeries or vital treatments scheduled.
The overall response from France has been a mixed one in terms of successes and failures. The failure to produce an effective track and trace app has led to a lack of public confidence and will likely see low numbers of interaction with this updated version. The lockdown measures in March were strict, but as with the UK, critics argue they were implemented at least a week too late. With a minimum of 36,000 coronavirus related deaths, and more than 1.3 million cases, it's not hard to see the failings. But it must be acknowledged that this is an unprecedented pandemic. We must realise that many European countries are struggling to contain the spread and infection rate of the virus and will do for the foreseeable future.
As of Friday, people are only allowed to leave their homes for essential work or medical reasons. Bars, restaurants and cafes are closed but visits to care homes are permitted – so long as social distancing measures are observed. Meetings between households are banned, and weddings are no longer allowed to take place. However, exercise for an hour a day and walks 'near your house' will be allowed. As was mandatory in March, people are required to fill out forms justifying their reasons for leaving their home or face fines of €135, and social gatherings are banned. Schools will remain open this time, however children aged six or over will be required to wear a mask, as Macron seeks to limit any further negative impact on the education of France's youth.
Macron announced these new measures in a televised address, delivered on Wednesday. Faced with mounting criticism that his government's response to the pandemic has not quelled the spread of the virus, this second national lockdown depicts a clear message – tough times are ahead. He declared that France has been "overpowered" by this second wave, which he admitted will be "more deadly than the first", with a current daily infection rate of between 40,000-50,000, at least. This serves as a stark warning to other European countries that swift and clear measures must be implemented if we are to avoid a second disaster of deaths in the coming months.
Since the announcement, Paris saw record numbers of traffic as its citizens began to panic about the utter uncertainty that another national lockdown brings. As Macron calls for a "collective effort" to combat the spread of the virus, the future months for France look bleak.
According to Johns Hopkins University, France is the fifth worst country in terms of case numbers – behind the US, India, Brazil and Russia. The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, warned that "We are deep in the second wave" and we must come to terms with the reality that this year we will have "a different Christmas". The World Health Organisation's European regional director, Dr. Hans Kluge, described Europe as the "epicentre" of the pandemic once more and said, "At the risk of sounding alarmist, I must express our very real concern." It thus becomes impossible to see a way out of this pandemic when no vaccine is readily available, and case numbers continue to increase.
Doctors have warned that this second wave is more deadly than the first, primarily due to how it is spreading. This time infections are hitting parts of France at the same time, rather than region by region. If these infections continued at such a rate, Macron revealed that all of the intensive care beds would be full of COVID-19 cases by mid-November. During the first wave, non-COVID patients were moved to neighbouring regions in March and April which were less overrun. However, the hospitals in France have barely recovered, and the prospect of exponentially increasing hospital admissions puts even more pressure on France's health system.
The 'I' reports that the rate of infection stands at 414.4 per 100,000 cases in the seven days leading up to 29th October, which when compared to the UK rate during the same period of 229.6 per 100,000, indicates just how deep into this second wave France truly is – and perhaps how the UK is not far behind. The UK now advises against all but essential travel to France, as the French PM also increased the national security level to 'urgent' following a terrorist incident on Thursday in Nice.
What the future holds for France depends on how this second lockdown and possible future ones play out. It remains to be seen.
Now, it is beginning to feel as though we will be forever stuck in a limbo of imposed restrictions which are lifted, and then imposed again once cases inevitably rise. Whilst it is easy to suggest we must 'get on' with our lives, when hospitalisations, infection rates and death rates increase to such an extent, we must continue to proceed with both caution and rapid action.
As for whether COVID-19 will affect the future of President Macron and his government's grip on power, the infamous response Harold Macmillan reportedly gave when asked what he feared the most as Prime Minister springs to mind:

A New Year Brings New Changes to the AC Industry January 12, 2023
What Is SEER2, and How Will It Affect Homeowners?
For most homeowners, understanding air conditioners is an afterthought to the cool relief they provide. But "as long as it works" is a mantra that simply can't fly when it comes to your major home utilities. Just as you trust Cornerstone Pros to provide many expert services like system maintenance or water purifier installation in Brandon, FL, we also want you to rely on us for the latest news and tips to ultimately save you time, hassle and money going forward.
As of January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy (DOE) has enacted new efficiency requirements that will affect the future of heating and cooling in your home, and may even affect your current AC system. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating on your unit is what measures its overall efficiency. With these new changes, SEER will be replaced with SEER2. More than just a name change, the new SEER2 rating system reflects the latest in efficiency measurements and accounts for real-world conditions that the old system did not. Simply put, the higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy-efficient your unit is.
The new SEER2 standards apply to all heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Air conditioning standards are divided into three regions across the nation, with Florida resting in the Southeast region. Heat pump standards are the same nationwide.
Air conditioners' cooling capabilities are measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), which tells us how much heat the unit can remove from a space in one hour. A higher BTU means higher cooling power.
A SEER2 rating is determined by calculating the ratio of the total heat removed from the space divided by the total electric energy that the unit consumes in a single season.
In our Southeast region, residential central air systems that rest below 45,000 BTUs are required to have a SEER2 rating of 14.3, while those above 45,000 BTUs must have a SEER2 rating of 13.8. Heat pumps nationwide must meet a 14.3 SEER2 rating.
As of Jan. 1, air conditioning units must be manufactured to meet the new SEER2 requirements. Units manufactured in 2022 and earlier that do not meet the requirements cannot be installed in the Southeast region because of our need to allocate more energy toward cooling.
Because of these changes and re-manufactured equipment, we expect a 20% to 40% price increase in 2023.
Unless you've just replaced your HVAC systems, it's time to find out if you're due for an upgrade. Because the price increase is also impacted by supply shortages, it will likely affect many HVAC companies' ability to get their hands on new equipment. Here at Cornerstone Pros, our relationship with Carrier will help us meet the upcoming demand and provide the equipment our customers need. The original SEER rating on much of Carrier's equipment was already high, meaning they didn't need to make many adjustments to their products for the new year.
It's vital that you work with a fully licensed, certified and insured service provider like Cornerstone Pros to ensure that the upgrades you make meet the new SEER2 requirements and are installed correctly. Plus, you can always rely on us for a variety of other home service upgrades, from air quality control to electric solutions and water softener installation in Brandon, FL and for our nearby neighbors.
While these changes might seem like a hassle, they herald significant improvements for the way we cool and heat our homes. Equipment costs may be rising, but there's still time to get ahead of the game and save in the short term, so you can start saving on utility bills for the long term. Through it all, Cornerstone Pros will be here to answer your questions and support you!
Our home comfort specialists are ready to get you started on an estimate for your Florida home. Reach out to us online or call Cornerstone Pros at 813.859.6786 today. On behalf of our entire team, we wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy new year!

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) completed its year-long maritime surveillance mission in the Middle East yesterday, flying more than 1000 hours and helping an international naval coalition seize heroin with an estimated value of $700 million.
The NZDF sent a Royal New Zealand Air Force P-3K2 Orion aircraft and a 55-member detachment to the Middle East in February 2017 to work as part of the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) for 12 months. The Orion flew a total of 1010 hours on 135 missions.
"I'd like to send my congratulations to the detachment," says Minister of Defence Ron Mark. "Their hard work has helped lead to four CMF drug busts in the Indian Ocean which is a huge blow to the criminal organisations involved.
"The profits from illegal drug smuggling in the Indian Ocean, more often than not, are used to finance terrorism. It is important that New Zealand partners with the international community to stem this flow of funding.
"I recently had the honour of meeting with the team on my recent trip to the Middle East. I was not only impressed by their professionalism, skill and dedication, but also how much their contribution was valued by the CMF and our international partners.
"New Zealanders should be proud of them," says Mr Mark.
The CMF is a 32-nation naval partnership seeking to promote security across 8.2 million square kilometres of international water, which encompasses some of the world's most important shipping lanes.
It includes three combined task forces, which are focused on defeating global terrorism, preventing piracy and narcotics smuggling, and promoting a safe maritime environment.
Major General Tim Gall the Commander Joint Forces New Zealand, said New Zealand played its part in maintaining global security and the NZDF's continued participation in the CMF further demonstrated this.
The drug busts supported the CMF's efforts to stem the flow of funds for terrorist activities in the Middle East region and internationally, Major General Gall said.
Squadron Leader Adam O'Rourke, who led the NZDF's 55-member maritime surveillance detachment, said one of the rewards of being part of this mission was knowing that the work of the team had a direct impact on illegal activity, by taking away terrorists' income streams.
"It's great to know that our contribution makes a difference," Squadron Leader O'Rourke said.
The aircraft and crew arrive back in New Zealand in early March.


There's also Hacks/Hackers, a series of meetup groups for journalists and coders, and the Data Driven Journalism center, which is a project of the European Journalism Centre, and includes lots of tutorials and support that are useful for anyone, including librarians, researchers, and library patrons.

Q: How to compute scores from script_fields in elasticsearch? Im generating a custom field using "script_fields". And I would like to use that field to generate score for the documents. How can I achieve this in elasticsearch. It would be great if any one could post an example query.

A: It's not really possible because when scores for the document are calculated the script field values are not computed yet. Search requests are typically executed in two phases: query and fetch. During the query phase scores are calculated and top documents are selected for retrieval. The list of the top documents is then used during fetch phase to retrieve the documents. During this retrieval process the script fields are calculated.
In other words in order to use script to score the documents, you need to use this script in the query phase by placing it into the function_score query, for example

Home Bloomingdale/FishHawk Sheriff's Office To Add New District To Meet Future Growth
Sheriff's Office To Add New District To Meet Future Growth
Tamas Mondovics
By Tamas Mondovics
To meet the current needs and in order to accommodate future growth, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) has made preparations to add a fifth district to its patrol service.
The addition of a new district, which will specifically affect and reshape District IV, the department's largest district is scheduled to begin serving residents in April or May 2017 is hardly a surprise.
Within its more than 400 square miles, District IV, serves nearly 300,000 residents in the communities of Ruskin, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Progress Village, Lithia, FishHawk and Bloomingdale.
"The change is necessary due to what is going on in District IV," said Major Robert Bullara, who replaced retiring former District IV commander Major Ron Hartley in 2015. "We have nearly 1,000 people moving to Hillsborough County each month, most of them to communities in District IV. Currently we have 34 active subdivisions."
When ready, the new district led by its new commander, Major Kyle Robinson, will border communities north of the Alafia River, such as Progress Village, Bloomingdale and northern Riverview along with its substations.
District IV will continue to serve communities south of the river, Lithia, FishHawk, Gibsonton, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, and southern Riverview including Balm, Wimauma and Sun City Center.
During a recent neighborhood meeting, which is held monthly at the Bloomingdale Community Substation, Bullara put things into perspective when he emphasized the effects of the growth within his district and what needs to be done.
"Traffic issues are the future," he said adding, "Big Bend Road is like State Road 60, and is just tough to get around. New schools and the constriction of new schools and subdivisions, not to mention two new theaters currently under construction in Gibsonton and Progress Village, will draw even more people to the area. Now is the time to get ahead of this."
Bullara said that since last year, 2,500 new single-family home permits have been pulled, showing no signs of slowing down.
While promising a smooth transition, Bullara, said that the department is working on hiring 100 deputies by the end of the year to fill all necessary positions for the new district office, which will be located across from HCSO's District II facility on Falkenburg Road.
The major anticipates losing some of his deputies to the new district, while the rest of the staff will come from patrol districts I,II, and III.
As to the future of the Bloomingdale Community Substation following the opening of the new district office, Bullara could not say for sure, but was confident it will remain open to serve its residents when he said, "I don't think this station will be closed, at least not for another year."
