Montreal – is the cultural capital of Quebec and is second only to Toronto as Canada's largest city. Montreal is a French-speaking city but English is also well spoken throughout. The city is known as being somewhat of a party town as well as being the home of the Canadian Gran Prix.
While you are in the city you could visit such attractions as the Basilique, the Montreal Biosphere, the Underground City and the Olympic Stadium from when the city hosted the 1976 Olympic Games.
What's to see in the Montreal Area?
Montreal has much to offer the curious tourist, both inside and outside of the city.
Heading out of the city you can find Quebec City located only 250kms to the northeast so shouldn't take more than 3 hours drive. The city is the only city in North America to still have its city walls and the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some important sights to see on your visit include Château Frontenac (which is now a hotel), or the Place-Royale (site of the first French settler landing in 1608).
Situated only about 2 hours to the north you can find Mont Tremblant. This village is best known for its famous Ski resort. Best visited during the winter if you want to partake in skiing but the sights are still beautiful during the summer. The Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is also an excellent way to see the unspoilt beauty of Quebec.
To the east you can find the Eastern Townships that sits right next to the US border. This is another very nice area to visit, with such villages as Bromont, an excellent ski resort; Dunham, famous for its wineries; and there are many other villages to explore.
About 200kms to the west you will find the Canadian capital of Ottawa. The city is a relatively young city even for a New World metropolis, as it was only nominated as the capital in the late 19th century! Some of the main sights include the Parliament Hill building, the Canadian War Museum, and the Museum of Civilization.
Before you get to Ottawa, you will be passing through Montebello. As you do so be sure to stop off and check out the Chateau Montebello, which is reputed to be the worlds largest log cabin!
If this has tempted you to make the trip to Montreal, then why not book your Montreal car rental now?

chivalry, manliness, Pile of Prep, Rod Dreher
Veritas et Sapientia – "A reference to the progress of the excise in England, will illustrate this insatiable construction. It commenced about a century past, and has since glided along until it has mingled its poison with almost every human enjoyment.Its ravages have already been extended to beer, ale, cyder, perry, metheglin, mead, strong water, aqua vitae, coffee, chocolate, tea, sherbet, bearibs [hearths], stoves, soldiers, sailors, annuities, pensions, stipends, serjeants at law, counselors…" – Argument on The Carriage Tax, John Taylor of Caroline County

MIKE CHURCH: OPEN LETTER TO FORMER LISTENERS
Chivalry And Manly Men Are Making A Comeback
I hope you will consider attending the Conference on Raising Chivalrous Young Men because the restoration of Chivalry is a decades long project whose work must begin now. Paul Brian throws his editorial weight behind the project here with How The West Can Save Masculinity.
As men labor and earn money, they need to feel like more than just numbers. It is not just automation and deindustrialization that are bringing men down; it is the way that materialism and impersonal profit have come to dominate everything, subsuming community life and family.
Brian makes some much needed sense when he catalogues what has gone wrong in our descent into macho trucks driven by soy boy culture.
What has changed is not so much the shortcomings of men but the technology that is allowing larger numbers of them not to develop positive masculine qualities that simply had to be developed 100 years ago to survive. Necessity is not only the mother of invention; it is also in many ways the mother of real men.
This is what I mean when I advocate for vocations over careers and for men to lead the way in not only advocating but also laboring in those vocations. Make plans to attend our Conference on Chivalry or signup to listen online and download the talks as well.
Come meet Mike Church, Joseph Pearce, GC Dilsaver and Brother Andre Marie at the world's FIRST, Conference on Chivalry!
The Blessed Sacrament, Brought To You By Bunny Bread™ And Welch's
You just have to think that Our Lord's heart is broken over this ridiculous blasphemy.
Rod Dreher thinks this is nothing more than people making a "worship… choice" and refuses to distinguish between mega-church "communion" and The Real Presence Thing that is served from the altar of every Catholic Church on Earth and has since Pentacost; this is where we're at folks: self-serve "communion" to buy that Stairway To Heaven. What's next, the Pillsbury Dough Priest? just pop and bake and BAM! instant salvation. Most priests are trained for at least 6 years before ordination to have their hands consecrated and learn the Sacrament of Holy Communion I know some who trained 12 years before ordination, there's a reason for this training and discipline: the priest is bringing God's Real Presence onto the altar and into The Host, which is why its called a Host and not a slice of Bunny Bread™; good grief. Father Leonard Feeney, in his must-read, Bread of Life book makes the following point and Father does not mince his words.
When you say to a man, "Do you believe in the Body, Blood. Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Eucharist?" and he says, "No," you should know that you are not speaking to a Christian. Many Anglicans, may I say, have told me that they believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist. Now, you figure that out for yourselves! Do they? No, they certainly do not! Imagine believing in the Holy Eucharist, and not keeping It under the guardianship of our Holy Father the Pope, in the Catholic Church! A student from the Episcopal Theological School, here in Cambridge, came to see me not long ago. "I think I believe in the Blessed Eucharist," he said. "Oh, no, you don't!" I answered. "How could you possibly believe in the Blessed Eucharist and stay in the Anglican Church, a church which kept the Blessed Eucharist away from its people for three hundred years?"
Pray for these poor misguided souls and the "pastor" who is leading them over that cliff we hear about all the time.
They've Brought Hell To Every Public Institution Now Socialists Want Our Charity
John Horvat has a warning for those not paying attention: the Socialists are coming and they are gaining ground.
Socialists also hate charity because it creates receivers of aid. Socialists hate the idea of contingency. They cannot bear the idea of people accepting gifts from others because they believe the needy are always victims of injustice. The poor can never be the victims of misfortunes, disasters, or their vices. Thus, socialists believe charity humiliates the poor who are forced to ask for what is rightfully theirs. Private charity perpetuates the structures of poverty. The poor must demand the fruits of another's successes as a right not as a gift.
Horvat also quotes arch-demon masking as a man, Bernie Sanders, from a 1981 NYT interview.
"I don't believe in charities… believe in the fundamental concepts on which charities are based and contend that government, rather than charity organizations, should take over responsibility for charity programs."
So have Congress run Little Sisters of The Poor-one of the few worthwhile charities-and what could possibly go wrong? Most governments can't even run a buffet line much less a charity but that's not what this is about, its about eliminating charity which the Gospels tell us begins in the home and that's the socialist's ultimate aim: your home.
California Wants You – And Your Toaster
In case they missed taxing your car battery, soda, pain pills, tires guns and pretty much anything else in your home or office, they've come back to finish the job. Recall what John Taylor of Caroline County said about the English once they gained the power to tax indirectly in An Argument On The Carriage Tax.
Its ravages have already been extended to beer, ale, cyder, perry, metheglin, mead, strong water, aqua vitae, coffee, chocolate, tea, sherbet, bearibs[hearths], stoves, soldiers, sailors, annuities, pensions, stipends, serjeants at law, counselors, advocates, physicians….

Its Fun When The Pretty People Lose!
Caitlan Flanagan has a 10 page long, complete smackdown of the elites involved in the college tuition for hire scandal and she is enjoying every moment of her tome's construction.
Sweet Christ, vindication! How long has it been? Years? No, decades. If hope is the thing with feathers, I was a plucked bird. Long ago, I surrendered myself to the fact that the horrible, horrible private-school parents of Los Angeles would get away with their nastiness forever. But even before the molting, never in my wildest imaginings had I dared to dream that the arc of the moral universe could describe a 90-degree angle and smite down mine enemies with such a hammer fist of fire and fury that even I have had a moment of thinking, Could this be a bit too much?
Wowwwww! For 30 years this has been going on or at least for 30 years has Flanagan known it was going one; this gives some interesting grist for the mill that's grinding down the MCU tainted "meritocracy" system we supposedly live in. It should be apparent by now to anyone with ears and eyes that there are two sets of rules for nearly every transaction under God: one set of rule for most of us and 1 set of rules for the elites who having commandeered the writing of the rules but here's the rub. They commandeered the vehicle without asking the rest of us if they could or even granting us the courtesy that the coup was on!
It Had To Happen: The Tranny Assault Hits The Final 4
Will everyone who knows a student, professor, alumni or greenskeeper at Our Lady University (Notre Dame) please tell them that a school named explicitly for The Mother of The Redeemer deserves to be respected as such and not have her title attached to the following headline.
Its Not Separation of Church & State Its Church Protecting State From Screwing Up!
The headline reads Roughly Half the Electorate Views Christian Nationalism as a Threat. Really!? Why would that be? Well 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count: TRUMP but beyond Don John of Manhattan's baked in haters of all things him, this shows the wretched state of affairs in education and faith here in 'Muricah. This is just hysteria with no cause:
Rachel Laser, president of the nonpartisan Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which opposes religion dictating public policy, said Christian nationalism is a threat because it takes up "efforts to restrict the space for religious pluralism in the country and give special privileges to a narrow segment of white Christians in America."
For starters, anyone who uses race distinctions in their practice of Christianity is not practicing Christianity but rather the version G.K. Chesterton wrote was "never tried"; but don't let that stop the anti-christ's from assigning nazi tactics to Christians actually practicing The Faith, the antithesis to nazism.
Many experts say conservative leaders have — to varying degrees — embraced sentiments that run contrary to the Constitution's call for separation of church and state, from the insistence on saying "Merry Christmas" to Trump's campaign call for a ban on Muslims entering the country.
Now "Merry Christmas" is a nazi salute!? I've been warning you in this space about the rise of anti-christs and the chilling effect they plan on having over the remaining shreds of Christendom that are still publicly permissible. How long before you will hear woke SJW's shunning people who say "goodbye" because they have discovered it is derived from "God be with ye"? We may as well beat them to the punch and restart these salutation's use now! "Merry Christmas and God be with ye, madam"!
What Will Your State Do When FANG Tells It To Jump?
Its no secret that the latest acts of tyranny against Just and Moral revival aren't coming from members of legislatures or even "the bench" but mostly from corporate 'Muricah's boardroom SJW's. I've recently told the story of the supreme act of religious cowardice Mike Pence presided over in Indiana when that state volunteered to repeal then rewrite its own, much ballyhooed RFPA after Apple Computer, Wal-Mart and others threatened economic penalties such as refusing to hold conventions, open retail stores etc in the state. This is precisely the opposite of the way this should work, the state government is charged with making & enforcing laws that provide favorable climates for doing business, climates which must include moral behavior. Now comes the latest "woke" boardroom bullies, demanding that the Texas legislature change their "focus".
Some of the world's biggest companies are back to oppose a range of new Texas legislation they say is discriminatory, two years after Apple, Facebook and other Fortune 500 companies banded together with gay rights activists in defeating the state's "bathroom bill" targeting transgender people. The corporate giants, which also include Google, Amazon, and IBM, joined Texas businesses and more than a dozen local chambers of commerce in a letter to lawmakers Wednesday urging the Republican-controlled Legislature to focus on other legislation. – emphasis mine, MC
Think about that. Legislatures are created by the sovereign people of a political entity, like a state, to serve the people that did the creatin', not President Snow and the Umbrella Corporation based a thousand miles away but does some business inside the entity. The businesses should be extended the privilege of contracting commerce in the state, not demanding how the state's bathroom signs are painted!
Errybody Knows Errything Has Become Another 'Murican Black-Eye
Ever wonder, e.g.: "how in the Hades did Jack get a masters in rocket science when he can't even make a paper airplane fly"? I have wondered and marveled at the stupidity of so many "experts" and "doctors" whose knowledge of their "career" is as deep as the useless standardized tests used to award the "honor". Casey Chalk has wondered the same thing.
The contemporary urge to offer ourselves self-congratulatory titles is more than a silly reflection of our own inflated egos. It is insulting to those few who actually deserve the monikers we so casually throw about. There are real theologians, historians, and economists out there doing the kind of academic work that elicits few accolades. They spend years of their lives mastering their disciplines, learning languages, and seeking to unearth and communicate some new unknown truth that will add, however slightly, to man's body of knowledge. These people work slowly, often disappearing for years to study some sub-strata of their field, meticulously contemplating and recording their findings, engaging with every possible primary and secondary text. They write academic books intended for other serious students of the field that use technical language and ideas. For some two-bit popular author or white-collar professional with a hobby to claim their titles is to undermine the very purpose of the academy.
Read the whole thing and see who you know that is an "expert" but really isn't.
"Chicago Elects A Lesbian Mayor…Next 'Woke Slide, Please"
Ho-hum, this is so, 2001 for Chicago…
FANG Member, Google, Demand Expulsion of Any "Transphobia-Conservatives"
Google has formed a board to explore how they might proceed in developing new AI initiatives and has invited some Mordor-based "conservatives", one of them being the leader of The Heritage Foundation Kay Coles James. The woke employees google employs are having NONE of this "transphobia" contaminating the diabolical, revolutionary bubble.
A group of employees calling itself Googlers Against Transphobia said in a post to the website Medium on Monday that by appointing Heritage's president Kay Coles James to the council, Google is "making clear that its version of 'ethics' values proximity to power over the wellbeing of trans people, other LGBTQ people, and immigrants."
The revolutionaries have begun a petition drive to drive Kay from the board, Rod Dreher explains.
But all of them believe that the fact that Kay James Cole doesn't accept transgender ideology disqualifies her from offering opinion on anything — even things that have nothing to do with transgenderism…These are not shelf-stockers at the local Walmart. These are people working in an industry that has, and will continue to have, extraordinary influence over all of our lives, in ways we can barely conceive. And they think social and religious conservatives are so dangerous and disgusting that they should be erased from public life, and the discussions about this technology that is going to change the future of the human race.
Got that citizen? You will comply with the woke and agree with their every perverted thought or you will have nothing to do with the decisions being made that directly impact your daily life in this dystopia these same people have created.
Is Podcasting The Next Broadcast Medium To Be Gobbled Up & Turned Into A Netflix-Like Monopoly?
This is interesting.
The battle to be a big player in podcasting distribution, led globally by Apple, is intensifying with Google last June launching its own service and the BBC, one of the biggest producers in the world, launching the BBC Sounds platform. This week, it emerged that the BBC has pulled its podcasts from Google, accusing the Silicon Valley giant of directing people to its own service.
Read the whole thing and discover that podcasting is but another obscene, profit-making opportunity and is employing the talents of the diabolically useful idiots responsible for the current sewage that is offered as entertainment. Expect one to two major players to become dominant and those "podcasting" for the opportunity to tell good, true and beautiful tales will be squeezed out for the new-Disney smut peddlers for Beats users.
I Can Attest To The Uniqueness of Southern Living
There's a cool piece at the American Conservative about The South, 90 years after "I'll Take My Stand" was published. The author concludes that we may have surrendered 0ur agrarian lives for quasi industrial lives but there is still plenty to distinguish The South from the rest of 'Muricah. I confess to not know anything about Southern funerals until now.
One thing that hasn't changed is how Southerners do death. In a review of a book on Southern funerals, Reed remarks that "a genteel Southern funeral is not the time or place for innovation." "Whether you're talking about flower arrangements, hymns, liturgy, or funeral food, there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, and the right way is usually pretty much the way it has always been done." This includes making homemade mayonnaise to accompany the "tomato aspic God meant for it to go with," though some traditions differ across denominations. Episcopalians "tend to drink after funerals…and often before, as well." They will happily eat a "green-bean casserole with Campbell's soup and onion rings," but they would never bring one to a funeral. Methodists, on the other hand, "believe that to get into heaven you have to bring a covered dish."
I love it! The piece is titled The Motley South and I am proud to participate in one its Motley events every year: The Hogs For The Cause Barbecue Festival. You can support my 10th anniversary efforts to raise funds for families that have children suffering pediatric brain cancers. The Barbacoa Brotherhood welcomes you in as a donor, auction participant or connoisseur of our award winning ribs and pulled pork, pay us a visit and support The Cause, today!
How Do KY Rednecks Wield Their 'White Privilege'? They Don't…
Andrew Sullivan is a talented writer who left the world of major media, to start his own media enterprise, then left the internet because of its increasing violence and corruption. Sullivan is now attending events and speaking on how the media/journalism/entertainment train has jumped the tracks and what might be done to put the choo-choo back on those tracks. He is NOT welcome to voice his views, and note, Sullivan is a very woke, out-of-the-closet homosexual, in Tinsel Town. The Hollywood Reporter recounts the event, yesterday.
[Sullivan] doubled down on his idea, saying: "Don't tell them everything is good. That you deserve it and that you are all basically slaveholders under their skin blah, blah, blah, which is what Hollywood is saying to them every second of the day." Those comments, which were met with audible gasps, set the stage for an immensely tense 20-minute panel which ended in Sullivan being shouted at by an audience member, prompting the moderator to step in and end the panel.
Mexico's Socialist President Demands Spanish Restoration of Quetzy'lcuot'l, The Human Scarifice Demon, As "Hero"
You just can't make this stuff up and the demons must be having champagne and caviar parties tonight.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has formally requested an apology from both Spanish King Felipe VI and Pope Francis for the Spanish conquest some 500 years ago. The letter cited massacres that took place during the Spanish conquests of the indigenous peoples of Mexico throughout the 16th century. He also referenced the imposition of the Catholic faith as well as the human rights abuses committed by forces acting on behalf of the Spanish crown. "The churches were built above the temples, our patriotic heroes were excommunicated," he said speaking among the ruins of an ancient Mexican city in a video posted to his social media accounts. "We are going to reconcile but first we ask for forgiveness."
To their credit, the Spanish have rejected the letter and its characterization of "Mexico's heroes", so memorably portrayed in Mel Gibson's Apocalypto.
The Pronoun Police Have Come For Our Very Own Caroline Farrow
When I first met Caroline Farrow via telephone 3 weeks ago, I knew I had been blessed with a CRUSADER who would join our fight as we have waged it against objective denial of The Truth. The Spectator reports that Caroline…
Here we go again. Another woman is facing a police investigation – and potentially, a jail sentence — because she wrote things online about sex, gender and a person who changed gender.
So far, so familiar, but this tale has a significant feature. The woman is a journalist. A British police force is investigating a journalist over words that she published.
Caroline Farrow, 44, is the subject of an investigation by Surrey Police over tweets she sent referring to the adult child of Susie Green, head of Mermaids, a charity concerned with transgender children.
In the Soviet UK, it is now illegal, under penalty of being fined or imprisoned, to "misgender" someone meaning if a man is standing in front of you with a wig and pumps on but "identifies" as a woman and you call him S'sir" the law is on his side to force you to deny what your eyes, and God's reality says. "The demons are ascendent, they've come for the children and they will not take no for an answer."

Mike Church, Too Catholic For Satellite Radio
Membah…membah!? Fast forward to November of that year and Chris writes a followup "Too Catholic For Satellite Radio". Thanks to Papa Francis deliberate attempt to bring an end to the Catholic Church by claiming he can change dogma (the licit Death Penalty), I am becoming #Too Catholic For Lukewarm Catholic Radio. Ferrara wrote the following which we at the CRUSADE Channel studio still believe is True and pursue improving it every day.
"Indeed, over the past year or so Mike Church has emerged as the only traditionally Catholic conservative in talk radio today, anywhere in the world. And I mean traditional. Not only during my appearances on the show, but now thematically, Mike has turned the longest running political talk show on Sirius Radio into an unabashed presentation of the Social Kingship of Christ, traditional Catholic moral teaching, and even the traditional Latin liturgy as the solution to what is evidently otherwise a terminal civilizational crisis. I have been invited on the show numerous times to defend all of these things explicitly, to speak of the one true Church, and even to call upon conservative Protestants to enter the Church if they are serious about saving our nation and our civilization."
Thanks to you, fair reader, we have the chance to continue that fight but I am in constant need of your assistance, click here to chip in.
Need To Listen To The Pearcing Truth's Series On Economics As If Families Mattered

It's April 2019 And The Immodesty Is About To Go Nuclear Because It WENT Nuclear – Venerable Bishop Sheen called out 'Muricah back in the 1960's while speaking to a group of young Catholics on "Youth and Sex": "8:15 in the morning, the 6th of August, 1945, when we flew a military plane over this city, when we dropped that atomic bomb on it; that bomb on blotted out boundaries. There was no longer a boundary between the military and the civilian, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, between the living and the dead. For even the living who escaped the bomb were already half dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits and from that time on the world has said we want no one limiting me. … You want no restraint, no boundaries, no limits. I have to do what I want to do. Now let's analyze that for a moment, is that happiness?"

Rovers Exceed Expectations
By | January 20, 2006
The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity have nearly tripled their expected lifetime on the Red Planet.
Each rover consists of a complicated set of equipment known as the Athena Science Payload. Detailed pictures are taken in mosaic form and then assembled into full views. These pictures provide the specific evidence for the historical presence of water.
The goal of the mission has been to determine the history of climate and water on the planet, and was accomplished when Opportunity found evidence of hematite, a substance formed in the presence of water. Opportunity also found several rock formations that demonstrated evidence of long-term water habitation. Spirit found similar signs of water near Husband Hill.
Prof. Steven Squyres Ph.D. '78, astronomy, principal investigator of the mission, has written a book, titled Roving Mars: Spirit, Opportunity and the Exploration of the Red Planet, that discusses the mission in detail during its first 500 sols, or Martian days. Squyres said that the team "has discovered quite a bit [in the recent past]" and that he has "talked with [his] publisher about updating the book with some additional chapters once the mission is over."
However, Squyres isn't solely responsible for the success of the mission. Thousands of other scientists and researchers are involved with the project; every movement of the rovers is meticulously pre-planned by a team of workers from around the world. Although there are some minor problems, the rovers are still in good functioning condition.
"The grinding head on Spirit has worn out and one of the steering actuators has failed on Opportunity," Squyres said. He added, "On both rovers, the radioactive source in the Moessbauer spectrometer is getting weak."
Squyres said that there is no way to predict how much longer the rovers will continue to function on Mars.
"All the components in the rover were designed to last the equivalent of 270 sols before we launched and we've now been on Mars more than 700 sols," Squyres said.
Because they have outlasted their estimated life span, there is no longer any basis for forecasting their future performance.
"They could last another two years, or they could drop dead tomorrow," Squyres said.
Spirit is progressing towards Home Plate and then McCool Hill. Opportunity is heading toward Victoria Crater.
Some current students feel privileged to attend the university that is most closely connected with the Spirit and Opportunity mission.
"The mission is really interesting; going to school can become very routine but it's at times like these that you really appreciate going to Cornell University," said Mickey Lai Alterman '08.
The rovers have been far more successful than the previous missions to Mars. They are more capable than the 1997 Mars Pathfinder Mission and can go further in a single day than the Sojourner rover went over its entire mission.

United Way Campaign Passes Goal by $25,000
The 2005 Cornell United Way campaign exceeded its goal by about $25,000 over winter break, according to numbers released by the United Way last week.
"We are very thankful for the generous support we have received from all donors at Cornell University and thrilled that they have surpassed their goal," said Ann Colt, campaign and community relations director for the Tompkins County United Way.
Cornell's pledges this year totaled $652,772 as of Jan. 16, surpassing the organization's campus goal of $627,000. The Tompkins County United Way as a whole reached 94 percent of its own $1.8 million goal. Last year, Cornell's campaign collected one-third of the county's overall donations.
Campaign leaders, though encouraged by the totals, are hoping for a campus participation rate of 20 percent. Currently, they are at 16 percent, one point short of last year's number.
Students and faculty who have not yet participated are being asked to donate to the Urgent Rx Challenge Grant, which will help Tompkins County residents without insurance obtain prescriptions.
In addition to the Urgent Rx program, the Tompkins County United Way helps fund more than 100 programs through 30 local agencies, such as the YMCA and the Salvation Army. Money donated by students and staff will be given directly to these agencies.
Charles Walcott, dean of university faculty and 2005 campaign chair, is stressing that even small donations can make a difference.
"A contribution of $1 per pay period can provide five days of 'Meals on Wheels' for one person, 50 lunches for low-income people at the Friendship Center or two round trips to the pediatrician's office," he said.
For the United Way to reach its goals has been especially challenging this year, given the outpouring of donations to victims of Hurricane Katrina and the myriad other natural disasters that struck the globe this year.
Throughout the campaign, Walcott has stressed the needs of local individuals throughout the county.
"We need to remember that there are many people – our friends and neighbors here in Tompkins County – who also need assistance," Walcott wrote in a letter on the United Way website.
Many students have waited until after the holiday season to make contributions.
"Since I live here at Cornell most of the time, I feel it's important to help out people in this community," said transfer student Guy Mazza '08. "Now that Christmas is over, I have a more money to donate."
The campaign will end officially on March 31. Students, faculty and staff may donate through pledge cards or payroll deductions. For more information on the Tompkins County United Way or how to contribute, visit www.uwtc.org.

M. Hockey Earns Two Crucial Victories
Before the usual festivities began at Lynah Rink on Saturday night between ECACHL foes Clarkson and Cornell, the red carpet was rolled onto the ice. Interim president Hunter R. Rawlings III strolled out and introduced Dr. David J. Skorton, who was appointed as Cornell's 12th president earlier in the day.
Skorton and his wife were both given Cornell hockey jerseys and then the new president began the evening's cheers, exclaiming, "Let's go Big Red!"
Cornell fed off his opening cheer by playing inspired hockey all evening to earn a come-from-behind 4-2 win. The game-winning tally came off the stick of senior Chris Abbott off of a pretty feed from his twin brother, Cam, on a 2-on-1 breakaway attempt at 10:09 in the third period.
"Our guy lost his guy [on the game] winner," said Clarkson head coach George Roll. "He had him in the neutral zone, lost him, and we talked about them jumping in to rush and we didn't react very well on that play."
The win, which gave the team a four-point weekend after a 5-2 win over No. 10 St. Lawrence on Friday night, also improved the No. 8 Red to 13-4-3 and 8-3-1 in league play. The win, coupled with Colgate's win over the Saints on Saturday night, catapulted Cornell into second place in the league, just two points behind the Raiders for the top spot. With the loss, Clarkson fell to 12-10-2 and 5-6-1 in ECACHL action.
"It was a good, battle back win for us," said Cornell head coach Mike Schafer '86. "Down a goal twice and then to get back

Marianne Worthington is the founder of Work Warrior, a company that helps managers be rockstars, and in 2018 decided to launch her second brand, Sequins and Superheroes, helping people manage themselves, and become the hero of their own story. Before deciding to go out on her own, Marianne spent over a decade in corporate America as a manager. During that 10 years she jokes that there were "a lot of blood, sweat, and tears…and often times those things mixed together and made quite a mess." But she discovered people can learn to be a good managers, but not if they can't manage themselves, their fears, their biases, or their emotions.
In this episode, I spoke with Marianne about toxic work environments, the #METOO movement, and the different between self-care and human maintenance.

Q: rpart.plot remove scientific notation > fit <- rpart(price ~ carat + cut + clarity, diamonds_train, method = "anova")

> rpart.plot(fit, type = 4, extra = 101)

I tried options(scipen=10) but it didn't work. How can I remove the scientific notation?

A: Use a negative value for the digits argument.  The rpart.plot help page says that if digits is negative, rpart.plot uses the standard R format function (with the absolute value of digits):
library(ggplot2)
data(diamonds)
library(rpart.plot)
fit <- rpart(price ~ carat + cut + clarity, diamonds, method = "anova")
rpart.plot(fit, type = 4, extra = 101, digits=-3)

This requires rpart.plot version 2.1.2 or higher.  You may have play with the value digits=-3 to get the exact display you want.

Pandemic cravings: What robots delivered in 2021 by region
People are staying home, bundling up, and fretting about an uncertain future. Here's what they like to eat.
Written by Greg Nichols, Contributor

Greg Nichols covers robotics, AI, and AR/VR for ZDNet.
Posted in Robotics on January 7, 2022 | Topic: Robotics
Starship Robotics
Look, it was a weird year. We were supposed to be emerging from a socio-political cataclysm, supposed to be getting back on track, but in a lot of ways, the drudgery just kept on keeping on. This is why it makes a lot of sense that comfort food ranked high on the list of items folks ordered from shops and restaurants that were then delivered by an emergent class of autonomous delivery robots.
Has AI found a treatment for Fragile X?

Covid-19: The best at-home rapid test kits
If you live in a city or dense suburb and don't have delivery robots in your area yet, brace yourself: They're coming. Delivery bots are designed to reduce car traffic and increase efficiency for last-mile urban delivery. They're also pretty amazing data collection devices, which advocates say will help streamline operations and reduce waste but will also lead to profound privacy worries in the near future. One of the leading providers in the field, Starship Technologies, recently released its 2021 Robot Wrap Up, "highlighting the most popular and quirky requests and orders" that its fleet of more than 1,000 robots worldwide have received in the past year.
And yeah ... comfort food.
In the U.S., that meant things like boneless chicken wings, which ranked most popular in the western states, and curly fries, which topped orders in the midwest. Chicken fingers were popular in the east and the south. Interestingly, pizza didn't make the cut on Starship's most-ordered list, which almost certainly says more about the distribution of the technology than market trends. In fact, pizza is having its own automation makeover, and owing to the fact that pizza preparation and handling is distinct from that of many other fast foods, which are fried, autonomous pizza making and delivering technology seems endemic to the sector rather generalized (see: 2022 will be the year of the pizza-making robot).
When you look internationally, the picture starts to change (and the U.S., perhaps not surprisingly, doesn't come out looking very healthy). Among British consumers, the most popular items delivered by Starship's fleet were breakfast and included bread, eggs, and bananas. Bananas!
One of the primary markets for Starship's robots has been college campuses. That's because local regulations are still a patchwork of inconsistent or non-existent guidelines governing the use of robots on public streets. Colleges, however, are contained ecosystems often with their own governing authorities.
It was, of course, a tough year for college kids, who once again saw much of campus life cancelled among quarantine orders. Perhaps that's why any individual's record for the most orders goes to an unidentified individual at Arizona State University, who placed 230 orders with Starship during 2021. Go Sun Devils...
Oregon State students claim the dubious record of having the most late-night orders. (Study sessions, maybe?) And parents of Northern Arizona University students will be proud to know that their students placed the most early morning orders.
What does all this data tell us about robot delivery now and in the future? Not much, honestly. Though Starship has the most widely distributed delivery fleet, the footprint is still fairly small. But it is growing, and the volume is now becoming hard to ignore. Starship robots travelled, in aggregate, more than three million miles making deliveries in 2021, which the company proudly boasts is 13 trips to the Moon. That accounts for 100,000 road crossings every day and, over the lifetime of the company, which was founded in 2014, more than two million commercial deliveries globally.
Now that 2022 is upon us, with a fresh wave of news about a new variant and unseen dimensions of unrest and chaos, it's a safe bet we'll see another important growth milestone for autonomous delivery. Comfort food anyone?

From "Costanzo Bros. Bakery, 3:57 PM" by Scoleri "Scud" Callahan
Posted by alexp01 under Excerpt | Tags: bakery, Cosa Nostra, donut, doughnut, fiction, humor, mafia, story |
Detective Montgomery, Vice, met Detective Hanson, Homicide, at the latter's request. Monty appeared at the Costanzo Bros. Bakery, which was at least as well known for being a front to the local Cosa Nostra mobsters as for making the best jelly donuts in the city.
Hanson was leaned against the counter, which was empty; Monty slapped down a five and took a few choice selections off the fresh donut tray.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Hanson drily.
"They can keep the change," said Monty. "So what did you call me here for? You know the chief doesn't like us buying donuts at Costanzo Bros., even if they are the best."
"You remember a kid called Remo Aiolfi?" Hanson said. "Twenties, dropout, mellow to the point he probably took Ambien to wake up? Kid was baked, and baked hard."
"Yeah, I remember him," said Monty. "Kid was busted multiple times for pot, always was able to slip the charge or get it knocked down to community service. Don Colombera's boys used him as a bagman, didn't they?"
"My snitches have it on good authority that the kid was playing both sides, letting Don Anselmetti have a taste occasionally or selling him information," Hanson said.
"Boy must have been toked to try something like that." Monty took a meaty bite of a jelly donut, splattering filling all over the place. "God, this isn't the Costanzos' best batch, is it?"
Hanson shrugged. "That's probably why Remo Aiolfi turned up dead," he said. "Maybe the Colomberas did it, maybe the Anselmettis, maybe they both decided it would be better for business if he went away."
"I'll say," Monty agreed through a faceful of donut. "How'd they off him?"
"Best as we can tell, they put him through a wood chipper and used him as a filler in the Costanzos' latest batch."
Monty stopped chewing, held out his donut at an arm's length, and paled visibly.
"I told you the kid was baked, and baked hard," Hanson said. "What did you think I meant?"

Mack was the kind of person who always walked around in a cloud of cigar smoke–as if the other business he was involved in wasn't enough, he loved to clench death-sticks between those fat lips of his and give people cancer. I sometimes wondered if he even really smoked at all, or if he just pulled out a cigar, as big around as his fingers and just as brown and weathered, to impress people. A cigar says power, money, influence. A cigar says 'I'm the kind of guy you don't screw with–you default on one of my loans, I break your kneecaps and shove this stogie in your crotch.'
None of that would bother me, of course, if I hadn't been trying to kick the habit myself. Cigars and cigarettes aren't the same, as any smoke snob will tell you, but that aroma was enough to make me reach for my empty breast pocket, where the cowboy-killers used to be. I rolled a stick of gum up and stuck it where a cig should have gone.
Mack laughed, dredging up a gallon of phlegm from deep inside his stout frame. "Ain't you gonna light up?" he said. "Them Bubble Yum brand cigs, they sure pack a wallop."
I laughed too–with Mack, you laughed when he did, whether what he said was funny or not.
"So, anyway, the old prick drops dead. Literally. Right there in his goddamn workshop. His kid found him there the next morning, at the bench, lookin' like he was asleep."
"Heart attack?" I asked, trying to sound interested, even though I didn't know Karol Kazdemu from Joan of Arc. It's always a tragedy when somebody dies–in the abstract. But if you don't know 'em, the most people can muster is a vague sorry feeling before they forget all about it. It doesn't pay to dwell too much on death anyway.
"Stroke." Mack gestured at Sunday's Times, crumpled on his coffee table. "The obituary was very specific–I bet that was his doing."
"Terrible tragedy," I replied. "What's it got to do with us?"
Mack took a fresh drag from his cigar and exhaled, filling the room anew with that sweet, dusky smell. My mouth tightened; God, I wanted a cigarette.
"For most people, yeah, stroke's a terrible tragedy all right. But not Karol. For him, a stroke means he weaseled his way out of payin' me back."

"Nothing personal," Luchari said, aiming the pistol. "Just business."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" said Da Silva.
Luchari lowered his gun. "How do you mean?"
"Would this being personal really make that much of a difference?" Da Silva shrugged as much as his restraints would allow. "I mean, after all, I'm dead either way."
"I suppose so," Luchari said, stroking his chin. "Never thought of it that way before.
"It being personal might even be a good thing. Me, I've done some bad stuff in my time. I can see a guy taking something like that, making it personal, and going out of his way to settle accounts. It's what I'd do. I can respect that in a way."
"You know," Luchari said thoughtfully, "I think it's really more for me, than for you. Makes me feel like I'm somehow not killing you in cold blood, that everything's okay."
"Hey, I know exactly where you're coming from," said Da Silva. "Whatever it takes to get you to sleep at night."
"This has been very illuminating. Thank you." Luchari smiled, then squeezed off two shots from the hip. Da Silva slumped forward, the back of his skull gone.
"I love it when someone comes up with something a little more creative than 'please don't kill me,'" Luchari said to his men. "Having a little stimulating conversation for a change makes this job that much easier."


This first issue of the Universal presents five articles that examine human rights issues from various disciplines and that span different global contexts. Together, the articles illustrate the potentiality of both multi-disciplinarity and inter- disciplinarity in human rights scholarship; a core concern of The Universal: Annual Human Rights Review. In their own way, each of the five articles speaks to the chosen theme of this issue, namely attribution and categorization. Five articles provide unique observations and examinations of these di erent processes with each revealing the di erent ways such operations a ect the granting and/or denying of rights. In addition, the contributions present comprehensive analyses of the intersection between global understandings and classifications of rights with local dynamics and categories of people. Generally, to a greater or lesser extent, each addresses the ways in which the attributions and identities of certain groups render them categorized, the ways in which ascriptions and membership within these categories have certain local and global human rights implications, and the ways in which those implications impact the local strategies chosen to address domestic contextual experiences. Whether categorization processes (and their subse- quent rami cations) are examined with regard to the Dalit class in India or street children in Tanzania, the contributions reveal how classification within distinct groups has contextual dimensions. Such classification is shown to not only a ect the strategies selected by categorized groups to ght for their human rights, but to also have broader implications when those contextually-grounded groups are confronted with global understandings of their identities.

Крейсера типа «Цзинъюань»  — серия из двух броненосных крейсеров 3-го ранга. Строились в Германии на штеттинских верфях фирмы «Вулкан», для военно-морских сил Китая. Приняли активное участие в первой японо-китайской войне

Представители
«Цзинъюань» («King Yuen»). Заложен 1 января 1885. Спущен на воду 3 января 1887 г. Введен в строй 1 января 1888 г.

 «Лайюань»  («Lai Yuen»). Заложен 1 января 1885 г. Спущен на воду 25 марта 1887 г. Введен в строй 1 января 1888 г.

Описание конструкции и оценка проекта
Корабли строились на немецких верфях по специально разработанному для Китая проекту. «Цзинъюань» и «Лайюань» именовались на китайском флоте крейсерами, но в Германии, подобно построенному ранее «Цзиюаню», рассматривались как большие броненосные канонерские лодки (увеличенный в три раза по тоннажу вариант канонерок типа «Веспе» или «Брумер»). Собственно, по тоннажу и скорости хода «Цзинъюань» вполне мог быть отнесен к крейсерам 3-го класса. По водоизмещению он превосходил японский броненосный крейсер «Чиода» («Тиёда»), а его скорость была равна скорости японских крейсеров типа «Мацусима». Однако по артиллерийскому вооружению «Цзинъюань» действительно соответствовал кораблю береговой обороны с барбетной баковой крупнокалиберной артустановкой (например таранному монитору), хотя и с относительно высоким бортом.

Главный калибр «Цзинъюаня» составляли два 8,2-дюймовых (210-мм) 13-тонных казнозарядных орудия фирмы Крупп образца 1880 года, которые находились спарено в носовом барбете и полностью закрывались сверху броневыми щитами, образующими башню прямоугольной формы. Орудия ГК имели ограниченный боезапас — по 50 снарядов на ствол. Средний калибр «Цзинъюаня» ограничивался двумя 5,9-дюймовыми (150-мм) крупповскими орудиями на спонсонах по каждому борту. Вспомогательное артиллерийское вооружение — два 47-миллиметровых и пять 37-миллиметровых скорострельных орудий. Также имелось четыре торпедных аппарата Шварцкопфа.

Корпус стальной, разделенный продольными и поперечными перегородками на 66 водонепроницаемых отсеков. Коффердамы заполнены пробкой. Двойное дно имелось только в средней части. Нос был снабжен выступающим тараном. Палуба без полубака и надстроек; один носовой мостик. Две низкие трубы, одна мачта с боевым марсом. Две машины тройного расширения суммарной мощностью в 5700 л. с. обеспечивали максимальный ход в 16,5 узлов. Запас угля — 325 тонн. Броневая защита (двухслойная броня компаунд) состояла из узкого бронепояса по ватерлинии с толщиной от 9,5 до 5,5 дюйма, не доходящего до оконечностей, и броневой палубы толщиной в 2,5 дюйма (на оконечностях — 3 дюйма). Барбет орудийной башни имел броневую защиту в 8 дюймов, боевая рубка — в 6-дюймов.

Будучи вторыми по водоизмещению после броненосцев кораблями китайского флота, «Цзинъюань» и «Лайюань» серьёзно уступали в артиллерии главного калибра заказанным одновременно с ними в Англии бронепалубным крейсерам серии «Чжиюань», (два 8-дюймовых орудия против трех) и лишь немного превосходили в среднем калибре построенный несколькими годами ранее в Германии крейсер «Цзиюань» (два 6-дюймовых орудия вместо одного), правда, будучи значительно сильнее его в носовом огне, благодаря выносу среднекалиберных орудий на спонсоны. При этом «Цзинъюань» существенно отставал в скорости от «Чжиюаня» (18 узлов) и был лишь немного быстроходнее «Цзиюаня» (15 узлов). Гораздо серьёзнее «Цзинъюань» уступал своим основным противникам в будущей войне — японским «летучим» бронепалубным крейсерам английских проектов, которые превосходили китайский броненосный крейсер немецкой постройки и в тоннаже, и в быстроходности, и в вооружении — прежде всего, в многочисленной артиллерии средних калибров.

Наличие у «Цзинъюаня» узкого броневого пояса, верхняя кромка которого едва возвышалась над ватерлинией, не давало ему серьёзного преимущества в бою. Роскошная палуба из тикового дерева 2-дюймовой толщины, покрытая лаком, делала «Цзинъюань» крайне пожароопасным. Самым же фатальным конструктивным недостатком крейсеров данной серии, выявившимся уже во время войны, была неустойчивость, склонность к опрокидыванию.

Служба

После прихода в 1888 г. в Китай «Цзинъюань» и «Лайюань» были включены в северную Бэйянскую эскадру под командованием адмирала Дин Жучана. Летом 1889 г. броненосные крейсера вместе с учебными судами «Вэйюань» и «Канцзи» посетили с визитом Владивосток. В начале 1894 г. «Цзинъюань» и «Лайюань» сопровождали броненосцы «Динъюань» и «Чжэньюань» с визитом в Сингапур, но были срочно отозваны обратно в Вэйхайвэй в связи с угрозой войны с Японией.

Оба броненосных крейсера принимали участие в главном морском сражении японо-китайской войны — битве близ устья р. Ялу 17 сентября 1894 г. В начале сражения, во время атаки главных сил адмирала Дин Жучана арьергарда японской эскадры, «Лайюань» стал преследовать пытавшуюся выйти из боя канонерку «Акаги»(620 тонн водоизмещения, четыре 120-миллиметровых орудия). Настигая тихоходную «Акаги», «Лайюань» обстреливал её из 8-дюймовок с дистанции от 800 до 300 метров; японцы энергично отвечали из своих скорострельных орудий. Огневая дуэль броненосного крейсера с четырёхкратно уступавшей ему в тоннаже японской канонеркой закончилась вничью. С одной стороны, на «Акаги» были сбита мачта и одно из орудий, поврежден паропровод, судно получило 8 пробоин в корпусе, дважды китайские снаряды попадали в мостик, погибли командир канонерки и ещё 10 человек из команды. Однако и «Лайюань» серьёзно пострадал от японских разрывных снарядов; на крейсере вспыхнул сильный пожар, и он был вынужден сбавить ход и прекратить преследование. Фактически оба корабля вывели друг друга из строя.

Во второй фазе сражения отдалившиеся от своих броненосцев китайские крейсера сражались с японским «Летучим отрядом» контр-адмирала Цубоя из быстроходных бронепалубных крейсеров: «Иосино», однотипными «Такатихо» и «Нанива», а также «Акицусима». После потопления пытавшегося устроить таранную атаку «Чжиюаня» японцы избрали своими главными целями наиболее крупных у китайцев «Лайюань» и «Цзинъюань». Первый из них так и не смог потушить начавшийся на нём пожар, он продолжал пылать в течение полутора часов. На «Lai-Yuen» пожар принял такие размеры, что броневая палуба раскалилась, и судно от гибели спас старший офицер, затопив крюйт-камеры и обгорев сам при тушении.. Крейсер выгорел до ватерлинии практически полностью, так что бимсы деформировались и вдавились в борта. Корабль не мог продолжать вести бой, но сохранил ход и управление. Таким образом, крейсер при всех своих недостатках всё же продемонстрировал высокую живучесть. В ходе боя по китайским данным «Лайюань» получил более 200 попаданий, однако ни одно из них не оказалось фатальным. На корабле было 10 убитых (по другим данным, 17) и 20 раненых, многие получили серьёзные ожоги.

Видимо, считая объятый пламенем «Лайюань» обреченным, головные японские крейсера «Иосино» и «Такатихо» с 15.50 сосредоточили свой огонь на «Цзинъюане». Они вели обстрел с дистанции 2-3 км. В течение часа получавший всё новые повреждения, иногда полностью исчезавший из вида от разрывов фугасных снарядов «Цзинъюань» выдерживал этот обстрел. В какой-то момент он начал сближаться с «Иосино», возможно, пытаясь таранить вражеский флагман, но попал под последовательный обстрел со всех проходивших мимо японских кораблей. В 16:48 китайский корабль накренился на левый борт и запылал. Показалась подводная часть; руль был бесполезен; корабль рыскал из стороны в сторону в дыму, среди грохота сражения. Целый град снарядов поразил его; корма погрузилась, и со страшным взрывом он пошел ко дну… Было видно густое облако дыма, и взрыв произошел как раз перед моментом исчезновения корабля, который, подобно «Виктории», опрокинулся вверх дном. Из 270 человек его экипажа спаслось всего семеро… В 17.30 японцы, у которых подошли к концу снаряды, прекратили сражение и ушли в море. Китайская эскадра вновь собралась вместе и двинулась на базу в Люйшунь, полусгоревший «Лайюань» шел на ремонтную базу своим ходом.

По некоторым данным, ремонт на «Лайюань» так и не был полностью закончен, когда наступление японцев заставило Бэйянский флот перейти из Люйшуня в Вэйхайвэй. Во время битвы за Вэйхайвэй в ночь на 5 февраля 1895 г. стоявший в вэйхайвэйской бухте «Лайюань» был атакован двумя японскими миноносцами: За 1,5 кабельтова китайцы заметили миноносцы и открыли огонь. Первым подошел к броненосному крейсеру Lai-Yen миноносец № 23 и выпустил в него две мины, причём одна попала в крейсер и взорвалась. Продольные переборки на Lai-Yen были задраены и через 10 минут он перевернулся, причём погибло около 170 человек. После миноносца № 23, выпустил две мины Ko-Taka, причём командир последнего миноносца предполагает, что одна, из мин попала в тот же Lai-Yen, а другая — зарылась в грунт, взорвалась и потопила небольшой транспорт, стоявший за крейсером Lai-Yen,

Джозеф Джуно (; 1836—1899) був шахтарем та старателем з Канади, засновник міста Джуно (округ, Аляска). Він народився в місті Квебек, в сім'ї Франсуа Ксав'є Жуно та Маргарити Тіффо Жуно. Він є знаменитим завдяки співзаснуванню, разом із Річардом Харрісом, міста Джуно , Аляска, Сполучені Штати Америки. Перша велика знахідка золота поблизу Джуно, або ж на острові Дугласа була близько 1880 року. З 1900 року Джуно стало політичним центром Аляски.

Провідником Джозефа Джуно по південному сході Аляски був індіанець Кові, якому приписують більшу частину досліджень цього регіону, що записана за Джуно. Харріс та Джуно були відправлені разом із Кові у експедицію Джорджем Пілцем, підприємцем та гірським інженером з Ситки. Після того як дослідники обміняли більшість своїх грошей та їжі на місцевий лікер, або ж напій, вони повернулись до Джорджа Пілца з порожніми руками, але їх негайно відправили назад, розвідувати околиці майбутнього міста Джуно.

Після відкриття золота в цьому районі півострова, Харріс та Джуно вивезли близько 450 кг золота в Ситку.

Поседення, що заснували Харріс та Джуно спочатку називалось Харрісбургом, а потім Роквеллом. Шахтарі часто вживали обидві назви в своїх записах. Була також пропозиція назвати місто на честь ініціатора експедиції Пілца. Місто отримало свою теперішню назву на зборах шахтарів 14 грудня 1881 року, в якому назва Джуно отримала 47 з 72 голосів, в той час як Харіссберг отримав 21 голос, а Роквелл 4 голоси. Кажуть, що Джозеф Джуно купив своїм колегам шахтарям випивку, щоб переконати їх назвати місто на його честь.

Джо Джуно відправився в Доусон, Юкон під час Клондайкської золотої лихоманки 1890 років. Він зазвичай витрачав золото так швидко, як і знаходив. Під кінець свого життя він володів маленький рестораном в Доусоні. Джуно помер від пневмонії в березні 1899 у Доусоні. Його тіло перевезли до міста, що носить його ім'я та поховали на місцевому кладовищі 16 серпня 1903 року.

Його кузен Соломон Джуно заснував місто Мілуокі, Вісконсин.

US President Barack Obama today said that America will "do what we must" to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
UNITED NATIONS: Talking tough on Iran, US President Barack Obama today said that America will "do what we must" to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which he said threatens the elimination of Israel and carries the risk of triggering a nuclear arms race in the region.
Obama used his last major international address to the world before the November 6 presidential elections to press Iran on its nuclear programme, saying the country has time and again failed to take the opportunity to demonstrate that its nuclear programme is peaceful.
"America wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy, and we believe that there is still time and space to do so. But that time is not unlimited," Obama said in his address to the 67th session of the General Assembly.
In a reference to Iran's support for President Bashar Al Assad, Obama said just as Tehran restricts the rights of its own people, the Iranian government "props up a dictator in Damascus and supports terrorist groups abroad.
While Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, western nations claim Tehran wants to build a nuclear weapon.
Obama said, "Make no mistake: a nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy.
"It risks triggering a nuclear-arms race in the region, and the unraveling of the non-proliferation treaty. That is why a coalition of countries is holding the Iranian government accountable. And that is why the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," he said.
Obama said America respects the right of nations to access peaceful nuclear power, but one of the purposes of the United Nations is to see that power is harnessed only for peaceful purposes.
The President stressed that America will "never retreat from the world" and would bring justice to those who harm its citizens and friends.
While America will stand with its allies and is willing to partner with countries to deepen bilateral ties, Obama said for such a partnership to be effective, its citizens must be secure and its efforts welcomed.
Referring to the issue of Israel and Palestine, Obama said the parties must work towards a Jewish state of Israel and an independent, prosperous Palestine.
"Let us leave behind those who thrive on conflict, and those who reject the right of Israel to exist. The road is hard but the destination is clear - a secure, Jewish state of Israel; and an independent, prosperous Palestine.
"Understanding that such a peace must come through a just agreement between the parties, America will walk alongside all who are prepared to make that journey," he said.
He noted that nations in every part of the world have travelled the hard path to peace and security.
"From Brazil to South Africa; from Turkey to South Korea; from India to Indonesia; people of different races, religions, and traditions have lifted millions out of poverty, while respecting the rights of their citizens and meeting their responsibilities as nations," he said.
Demanding "sanctions and consequences" for atrocities in Syria, Obama said Bashar al-Assad's rule must come to an end.
"The future must not belong to a dictator who massacres his people," Obama told the UN General Assembly in a keynote address.
"If there is a cause that cries out for protest in the world today, it is a regime that tortures children and shoots rockets at apartment buildings."

Have you been looking for a car that only goes UP in value. Want something that is very clean. A DESIRABLE 4 speed MANUAL.
This is an original rust free 302 V8 fastback that was restored about a year ago. Everything was either rebuilt or replaced. Top shelf rebuilt 302 that is bored .30 over with GT40 heads and a mild cam. It has a great sound with the Magnaflows and long tube headers. It has a rebuilt 4 speed top loader with new clutch, brakes, exhaust, radiator, suspension, fuel system, etc. It was repainted with the Shelby style stripes and a few Shelby emblems were added. There is only about 2000 miles on the car since it was restored. This car has lived it's life in the sunny climate of California since I imported it in January 2016. The car has been stored inside to prevent damage. Runs and drives great. Engine fires right up and doesn`t smoke or burn oil. The very rare and desirable Muncie 4 speed toploader also shifts very nice without problem.

Q: Seed MySQL database on Heroku I have a seed file located at ./seeds/index.js that when called locally will create tables and seed a MySQL database with data.
const sequelize = require("../config/connection");
const User = require("../models/User");
const Post = require("../models/Post");
const Comment = require("../models/Comment");
const userData = require("./user-seeds.json");
const postData = require("./post-seeds.json");
const commentData = require("./comment-seeds.json");

//create tables and seed with test data
const seedDatabase = async () => {
    await sequelize.sync({ force: true });

    await User.bulkCreate(userData, {
        individualHooks: true,
        returning: true,
    });

    await Post.bulkCreate(postData, {
        individualHooks: true,
        returning: true,
    });

    await Comment.bulkCreate(commentData, {
        individualHooks: true,
        returning: true,
    });

    process.exit(0);
};

seedDatabase();

I want this to run also once the app is deployed on heroku.
I have tried running heroku run ./seeds/index.js but get Permission denied:

I also created a Procfile and added the following line: worker: node ./seeds/index.js and it looks like it runs on deployment:

but the database is still empty and unseeded.
How can I seed MySQL database using the node.js file during or after deployment to Heroku?
Edit: I should add I know the database is connected to the app because the tables are getting created if they don't exist on app start. The seeding still isn't happening however.
Edit 2: The content of my Procfile was malformed. I believe it should be worker: node ./seeds/index.js however, data is still not being populated in the database.

A: The heroku command was malformed. It should be: heroku run node ./seeds/index.js.

Youth confce in Dhaka on 14 Oct
Campus Desk :
A gathering of the Bangladeshi youths scheduled to be held next month will focus on the global agenda of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Citizen's Platform for SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), Bangladesh will organise the day-long conference titled 'Youth Conference 2018: Bangladesh and Agenda 2030 -Aspirations of the Youth' in the city on 14 October, reports UNB.
The objective of the conference is to make the youth aware about SDGs and their roles in implementing the goals, said the organisers.
The conference logo, website, registration, photography and short-film contests have already been launched, said a press release.
Director, dialogue and communication, Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) Anisatul Fatema Yousuf is the coordinator of the platform.
In the press release, distinguished Fellow of CPD and convenor of the platform Debapriya Bhattacharya said nearly 30 per cent of the total voters in the next general election is young.
"So, the voice and aspirations of the youth should be heard and considered while designing policies for national development.
The Youth Conference 2018 will be a platform for recognising youth aspirations and inspiring them to get engaged with the national policy influencing process," he was quoted as saying in a press release.
The core group members of the platform and executive director of Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Iftekharuzzaman and executive director, Manusher Jonno Foundation Shaheen Anam also emphasised and elaborated on the importance of engaging youth in the SDG implementation, said the press release.
The conference activities include research on youth employment in Bangladesh, fair showcasing youth activities, policy dialogues on youth concerning issues, mapping on the NGOs working on youth Bangladesh, analysis of government initiatives on youth development, analysis of youth agenda in election manifestoes, youth-issue based policy briefs, launch of e-library on youth activities, short-film and photo competition, cultural session and a youth declaration 2018.


However, before contacting the Ombudsman, Local MPs have urged consumers to read their bills first, discuss concerns with their retailer and remember there are dispute resolution services like the EWOQ, as well as community service groups to assist those on lower incomes manage their cost of living.
The Ombudsman was first established in 2007 to provide advice for customer disputes with water retailers in south east Queensland and disputes with all electricity suppliers across the State.
"In the last 5 years the EWOQ provided direct assistance to more than 60,000 Queenslanders, and more than 6,000 cases were received and closed in the first half of 2012-2013," Mr Trevor Ruthenberg MP, State Member for Kallangur, said.
"In 2012, the Energy and Water Ombudsman negotiated 381 billing adjustments, 31 compensation claims, the waiving of 107 debts, 770 goodwill gestures, 71 reimbursements and14 guaranteed service level payments which is more than $600,000 worth of value to Queenslanders."
Energy and Water Ombudsman Forbes Smith said his office provides a free service to Queensland consumers with a timely, effective, independent and just way of resolving disputes.
"We can also help them to understand their rights and obligations in what can be quite a complex business, at no cost to the consumer," Mr Smith said.
Mr Seath Holswich MP, State Member for Pine Rivers, has highlighted great groups like Uniting Care Community, the Salvation Army and Regional Housing who are outlets for the Home Energy Saver Scheme (HESS) to assist people on lower incomes manage their electricity bills.
"The Newman Government is conducting critical reforms to reduce the cost of poles and wires, curb back the impact of the Solar Bonus Scheme on bills and has a strong stance against the Carbon Tax, but it is also vital that customers are aware and empowered about what is going on to their power bills," Mr Holswich said.
"If you need help with your power bills there are options available whether it be talking to a friend, a relative, a neighbour or coming by to my office where my team and I would be more than happy to help."
"For low income earners there are community groups that can come by and help you manage your electricity bills, with a national helpline as a directory for all queries."
Customers can contact the Energy and Water Ombudsman Queensland on 1800 662 837 and the HESS national helpline on 1800 007 001 to receive assistance.


Since the launch of iOS 8 for Apple mobile devices, there has been any number of different companies trying to get in on the excitement. It turns out Weight Watchers is no exception. The popular weight loss company hasn't had a mobile application out on the market all that long, but now the company is embracing mobile wholeheartedly.
Weight Watchers announced some new features and a new look to go along with iOS 8. Among the features is the ability of the new app to sync up with HealthKit, making it a much more expansive experience for users of the iPhone. The other big new feature is that a user's tracking can now be done from the main updates dashboard. This means users will no longer have to open up the app in order to see where they stand when it comes to daily point and exercise totals.
This is especially important for Weight Watchers users because they don't log specific calories spent or added, but points from certain foods and activities. Being able to see what they have left at a glance could come in handy for iOS users while also becoming an effective selling point for the weight loss company.
There have been all kinds of features announced and shown off for the iOS 8 but the ability to use HealthKit was delayed a bit. The Cupertino-based company found there was a glitch with the way the apps communicated with HealthKit. It took about a week for Apple to revamp iOS 8 so it could be used with HealthKit and companies have been lining up ever since in order to take advantage of the new solution.
"When our team learned about iOS 8 and HealthKit, we were eager and determined to be among the first to use the new capabilities to improve our digital tools, " said Dan Crowe, Chief Technology Officer at Weight Watchers International in a recent statement.
As HealthKit is around longer and users see what the solution can really do, it stands to reason more and more applications will be looking to take advantage of this in order to keep an accounting of their lifestyles.


Will Grier must really like Will Muschamp.
In a story published Wednesday by Bleacher Report, the West Virginia quarterback revealed he originally wanted to transfer to South Carolina after a year-long suspension led to his departure from Florida in 2015. Muschamp had recruited Grier to Gainesville and had been named the Gamecocks coach just a few weeks before Grier announced his intentions to transfer.
SEC rules barred him from moving within the conference, and he ultimately settled on playing for the Mountaineers, who are currently ranked No. 9 by the College Football Playoff committee. Grier, meanwhile, is a Heisman Trophy candidate who ranks third nationally in passer rating.
As a redshirt freshman, Grier guided Florida to a 6-0 record before he was handed a year-long suspension for taking a performance-enhancing supplement that was banned by the NCAA. The Bleacher Report story claims that then-Gators coach Jim McElwain urged Grier to leave the team, sending him on a path that could've reunited him with Muschamp in Columbia.
And the question is, if he couldn't do it with PED then, how is he getting thru the game now? Do we trust Dana Holgerson and the Big 12? No and hell no.
