Q: How to get the content of an answer? I'm trying to build a data set based on Stackoverflow question and answers for testing some Natural Language Processing algorithms. So far, I have a small Java program that based on a set of keywords it retrieves questions from StackOverflow tagged with these keywords.
In the next step, I need to retrieve the actual content of the question. In other words, given a question Id, how can I retrieve its content (content==the actual text written by the user)?
Is it possible to do this with the StackOverflow API?
If not, is there any workaround?

A: from http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/usage/methods/questions-by-ids
body: When "true", a post's body will be included in the response.

It's what your looking for. ;)

A: Here's an example URL for getting the content of your question:

http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/questions/16640957?body=true

The content is in the body field. More info.

Q: How to import * as an alias in python? How to import * as an alias in python?
If I do from scapy.all import * as scmodule, it gives me an invalid syntax.

A: Its because you cant import all methods with same name.
your code means that you are importing all methods with same name!!! so that is impossible.
you use as for only one method.
from keras import backend as K

when you use * you can only call methods with their original name.
from keras.models import *
""" Model and Input are from keras library"""
model = Model() #example
input = Input()

Q: Form passes attribute which is not part of the model as param I have a form with a drop down list of currency values, for example:
["Free", "$1", "$2"]
The result is passed to the controller as the parameter :donation. But I need to convert this string (example "$1"), to an integer so I can save it in the model in attribute :donation_per_ticket.
The value from the drop down is being passed to the controller. But it doesn't work when I try to use it with something like this in the controller:
@ticket.donation_per_ticket = ["Free", "$1", "$2"].index(params[:donation])

Through troubleshooting, I've realized that params[:donation] is nil, not "$1". Am I trying to reference the parameter incorrectly or is the parameter ignored by the controller?
I'm using ruby on rails 4 and I'm using the simple_form gem to create the form.

A: You probably want to render your dropdown so that the integer values are passed as the params, not the human-friendly values.
Since you mentioned you're using simple_form, you can do something like the following in your form:
<%= f.input :donation do %>
  <%= f.select :donation, [["Free", 0], ["$1", 1], ["$2", 2]] %>
<% end %>

which renders html as:
<select id="ticket_donation" name="ticket[donation]">
  <option value="0">Free</option>
  <option value="1">$1</option>
  <option value="2">$2</option>
</select>

and submits params as:
# log file
Parameters: {"ticket"=>{"donation"=>"1"}}

Tears as Travellers are Turned-away over Covid-19 Test Certificates
At least 50 travellers have so far missed their flights out of Entebbe International Airport for possessing invalid COVID19 negative test certificates.
It is a requirement for all travellers to present a negative PCR (COVID-19) test certificate, issued within 120 hours before their departure and 72 hours for incoming passengers.
Since the October 1 re-opening of the airport, an average of 14 flights are handled at Entebbe everyday with passengers having to go through stringent checks to ensure compliance to the Covid-19 guidelines.
According to information obtained from the airport, more than 50 departing passengers have missed their flights because of failure to present valid negative Covid-19 test certificates.
For instance, on October 2, health workers blocked 45 passengers from boarding a flight to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after they presented expired negative test certificates.
Their certificates had been issued on September 28; four days before their travel date.
Even if they were to be allowed to take their flights, they would have been turned away on arrival in Dubai since UAE accepts certificates issued within 96 hours of travel.
This applies to all passengers whose final destination is Dubai or connecting to other destinations through Dubai.
On October 7, a Ugandan lady and three children missed their flight to Tunisia after they presented to immigration official Covid-19 test certificates that had been on September 16 – three weeks before their travel date.
By the time she secured the valid certificates, the plane had already departed from Entebbe Airport.
The same happened to another female Ugandan, who missed her flight to Dubai on October 8. Not even her tears could save her as health workers turned her away.
"It is painful that my certificate expired and yet my employer has been waiting for me to travel since July," she lamented.
She had secured a job as a domestic worker in the UAE, and had to reschedule her flight at a cost of $150 (Shs 555,000).
A mother who spoke on condition of anonymity told URN how her son traveling to Canada for studies almost missed his flight because of the delayed release of the test results by Makerere University Hospital.
The results were released ten minutes to 3 pm.
She explains that it would have been detrimental for her son because Canadian universities opened last month and international students will be admitted this week.

The Annex Galleries is the representative of the Gustave Baumann estate. For the past 14 years, gallery director and co-owner Gala Chamberlain has been working on the catalogue raisonné of Baumann's color woodcuts. She has gathered information on his early editions, books, unpublished works, and ephemera as well as related tales and anecdotes from his writing, friends, family, and collectors. Below is a brief biography of the prolific artist written by Chamberlain for the Annex Galleries, in anticipation of the impending publication.
In 1891 a steamer delivered Gustave Baumann, his parents and his siblings to the U.S. They made their way from New York to Chicago to begin a new life. Baumann was ten years old at the time but manhood was just around the corner. With the departure of his father from the family, Baumann felt the responsibility of earning a living. With an ad in hand and drawings under his arm, he knocked on the doors of the commercial engraving houses in Chicago. He was hired as an apprentice and his career in art began. A good student and a quick learner, Baumann soon figured he could make more for himself if he opened his own business. Night classes at the Art Institute fueled his desire to go back to Europe for an education that would free him from the commercial grind. In 1904 he boarded a steamer for Germany where his year of study and travel stretched to eighteen months.
He returned to Chicago in 1905 and soon after discovered Brown County, Indiana. Saving up $100. he could spend three months in Brown County, sketching and painting. He produced a portfolio of small format color woodcuts entitled In the Hills of Brown and then produced some of the largest woodcuts at that time. His work was selected for inclusion in the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition where he won the Gold Medal for Color Woodcut. In the summer and fall of 1917, Baumann traveled to Wyoming, New York, Manhattan and Provincetown, MA.
Many of his Chicago artist buddies had been to the southwest and regaled him with their stories of an exotic place named Taos. Baumann spent the summer of 1918 in Taos before visiting Santa Fe. Paul Walter, the director of the Museum of New Mexico, offered him a studio in the basement of the museum. His wanderlust was satisfied as apart from numerous sketching trips over the years he remained in Santa Fe until his death in 1971.
During his ninety years, Baumann produced woodcuts, paintings, furniture, sculpture, toys and marionettes and wrote poetry and plays. Baumann was the ultimate craftsman, as he loved the feel of the wood, the tool and the handmade paper he selected. His hands controlled every aspect of his craft: the carving of the blocks, the mixing of the inks and the printing of the blocks. Baumann's work is held in the permanent collections of numerous public collections and he actively exhibited his work throughout his life.
Be sure to see our full inventory of Gustave Baumann's works.

Sounds like the book is coming soon?
I have just discovered after browsing here that I own an original Baumann!
The woodcut is titled PALO VERDE AND OCOTILLO and is pencil signed and titled.
Edition(ll 40 of 125); printed and published by the artist on cream quality wove paper.

Q: How to combine three date columns in a data frame into a single variable? I have a data frame that looks a bit like this:
   Type   Size `Jul-17` `Aug-17` `Sep-17`
1     A  Large       35       24       80
2     B Medium       81       13       38
3     C  Small       30       64       45
4     D  Large       97       68       65
5     E Medium       31       69       33
6     F  Small       84       74       12

I use the ddply function a lot, and instead of summing the three columns together like below...
result <- ddply(Example, .(Type), (summarize),
                Q3sum = sum(`Jul-17`, `Aug-17`, `Sep-17`))

I'd like to be able to reference a single variable that contains those three columns and call it "Q3". Is there a way to do this that will still allow the data to work with ddply? I've tried setting the three columns to a single variable using Q3<- c(`Jul-17`, `Aug-17`, `Sep-17`), but it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A: Reproducible data frame:
read.table(check.names = FALSE, text="Type   Size Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17
A  Large       35       24       80
B Medium       81       13       38
C  Small       30       64       45
D  Large       97       68       65
E Medium       31       69       33
F  Small       84       74       12", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE) -> xdf

xdf
##   Type   Size Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17
## 1    A  Large     35     24     80
## 2    B Medium     81     13     38
## 3    C  Small     30     64     45
## 4    D  Large     97     68     65
## 5    E Medium     31     69     33
## 6    F  Small     84     74     12

If you just want the sum of the columns into one Q3 column:
xdf$Q3 <- rowSums(xdf[,3:5])

xdf
##   Type   Size Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17  Q3
## 1    A  Large     35     24     80 139
## 2    B Medium     81     13     38 132
## 3    C  Small     30     64     45 139
## 4    D  Large     97     68     65 230
## 5    E Medium     31     69     33 133
## 6    F  Small     84     74     12 170

If you want the 3 months making up "Q3" nested into one column:
xdf$q3_alt <- apply(xdf, 1, function(x) { list(as.numeric(x[3:5])) })

xdf
##   Type   Size Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17  Q3     q3_alt
## 1    A  Large     35     24     80 139 35, 24, 80
## 2    B Medium     81     13     38 132 81, 13, 38
## 3    C  Small     30     64     45 139 30, 64, 45
## 4    D  Large     97     68     65 230 97, 68, 65
## 5    E Medium     31     69     33 133 31, 69, 33
## 6    F  Small     84     74     12 170 84, 74, 12

str(xdf)
## 'data.frame':    6 obs. of  7 variables:

A: the solution is the gather function from tidyr. If you use dplyr you can make it in one line of code.
> library(dplyr)
> library(tidyr)
> df%>%
+   gather(key = Q3,value = values,Jul_17:Sep_17)
   type     size     Q3 values
1     1 A  Large Jul_17     35
2     2 B Medium Jul_17     81
3     3 C  Small Jul_17     30
4     4 D  Large Jul_17     97
5     5 E Medium Jul_17     31
6     6 F  Small Jul_17     84
7     1 A  Large Aug_17     24
8     2 B Medium Aug_17     13
9     3 C  Small Aug_17     64
10    4 D  Large Aug_17     68
11    5 E Medium Aug_17     69
12    6 F  Small Aug_17     74
13    1 A  Large Sep_17     80
14    2 B Medium Sep_17     38
15    3 C  Small Sep_17     45
16    4 D  Large Sep_17     65
17    5 E Medium Sep_17     33
18    6 F  Small Sep_17     12

A: Sounds to me like you want something along the lines of melt from the reshape2 package or gather from the tidyr packge. They will make your data.frame longer with all the Jul-17, Aug-17, and Sep-17 values in one column and another column declaring which month each data point came from.

Football Club Parson Drove is a football club based in Parson Drove, Cambridgeshire, England. They are currently members of the  and play at Main Road.

History
The club was properly established in the village of Parson Drove in 1921 by the headmaster of the local council school. After World War II the club played in the Peterborough & District League and also started entering the FA Cup. After winning Division One in 1948–49, the club were the first champions of its Premier Division in 1949–50. Although they were relegated later in the 1950s, the club won Division One again in 1959–60 and returned to the Premier Division.

Parson Drove saw a sustained period of success in the 1960s and 1970s, winning the Premier Division in 1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69, 1969–70, 1970–71 and 1973–74. They also won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup in 1969–70 and 1972–73, as well as the Cambridgeshire Challenge Cup twice and the Peterborough Senior Cup four times. In the late 1970s and early 1980s the club began entering the FA Cup again and also played in the FA Vase for three seasons. In the 1979–80 FA Cup the club went on a remarkable run that included defeating Southern League clubs Chelmsford City and King's Lynn, with the 2–0 win over Chelmsford labelled City's worst ever performance. In 1988 they made a late application to join the new Division One of the Eastern Counties League, but were rejected. With their ground in a poor state and a lack of interest from the public and players, the club was then disbanded.

On 2 March 1992 the club was resurrected following a meeting by village residents and re-entered the Peterborough & District League in Division Six. They returned to the Premier Division after winning Division One in 2003–04. Midway through the 2013–14 season, the club folded, and had their results expunged from the league. A new Parson Drove club was established in August 2017 when Peterborough & District League Division Two club Wisbech St Mary Saints (who had been formed earlier in the summer) moved to Parson Drove and were renamed to FC Parson Drove. The new club went on to win the Division Two title, earning promotion to Division One, as well as the Cambridgeshire Junior Cup and the North Cambridgeshire Junior Cup.

The 2018–19 season saw Parson Drove win the Division One title, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division. At the end of the 2020–21 season the club were promoted to Division One North of the Eastern Counties League. The reformed club entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2021–22.

Ground
Prior to World War I the club played on the Butchers Arms Field and at Woadmill Grassfield. Due to a lack of a suitable venue, after the war the club moved to nearby Murrow for two seasons. They returned to Parson Drove to play at some land at Clough's Cross Farm before moving to a field in Fen Road, known as Down the Fen  in 1930. In 1975 a new playing field was opened on Main Road, and the club moved to the ground.

Activist Peter Biar and youthful businessman Kerbino Wol are among eight detainees expected to stand trial at the Juba High Court Thursday for allegedly threatening South Sudan's national security.
The trial is expected to start at 10 am local time (0700 GMT). The National Security Service (NSS) said the detainees detainees will be charged with crimes related to compromising national security.
"They will be charged under Section 65 of the Panel Code (concealing treason), Section 67 (insurgency, banditry, sabotage and or terrorism), and 73 (concealment and failure to report)," NSS said in a brief seen by Africa Review.
Mr Biar faces an additional charge of communicating information prejudicial to South Sudan under Section 75. The accused have been detained for nearly a year with limited access to legal representation.

Labour minister Mildred Oliphant has indicated that she will 'engage' with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) after the institution found that the country's affirmative action and employment equity policies were unconstitutional.
Speaking at the opening of the annual Nedlac conference on Friday (14 September), Oliphant noted that the SAHRC had made various recommendations on what needs to be changed to bring the legislation in line with the Constitution.
"The Commission gives government six months to report back on steps taken to give effect to its recommendations," she said.
"It follows therefore that the Nedlac social partners need to study this report and advise on its stance vis-à-vis the recommendations of the Commission.
"It might even be useful to seek an audience with the Commission in order to understand the basis for its report, findings and the recommendations.
"This is important given that all our labour laws have to pass constitutional scrutiny before they can be signed into law," she said.
The Equality Report 2017/2018 is an annual report produced by the SAHRC as per legislative requirements.
In the latest report, the SAHRC specifically took issue with the Employment Equity Act's definition of 'designated groups' and South Africa's system of data disaggregation – which it said are not in compliance with constitutional or international law obligations.
Government's failure to measure the impact of various affirmative action measures on the basis of need and disaggregated data, especially the extent to which such measures advance indigenous peoples and people with disabilities is also a failure of international legal conventions it said.
The definition of designated groups as contained in the Employment Equity Act, and the current system of disaggregation of data could give rise to new imbalances in the labour market.
Affirmative action measures must be targeted at groups and individuals who are subject to unfair discrimination, to eventually achieve substantive equality and a society based on non-racialism and non-sexism.
Decisions based on insufficiently disaggregated data fail to target persons or categories of persons who have been disadvantaged by unfair discrimination, as required by the three-pronged test for affirmative action.
Without first taking the characteristics of groups into account, varying degrees of disadvantage and the possible intersectionality of multiple forms of discrimination (based on race, ethnicity, gender or social origin) faced by members of vaguely categorised groups, cannot be identified.
As such, the SAHRC's finds that the (EEA) be amended to target more nuanced groups on the basis of need and should take into account social and economic indicators.
Once the objective of affirmative action, namely substantive equality, is achieved, temporary special measures should cease. However, given the persistence of gross inequality in South Africa – and despite policies aimed at radical socio-economic transformation – much remains to be done before this goal is reached. Currently, special measures in the employment equity context raise several concerns in respect of the requirement for affirmative action to promote equality.
It is therefore clear that affirmative action and reasonable accommodation are designed to both provide initial economic opportunities to disadvantaged groups by prioritising their appointment but continue to apply once people from such groups have entered the workforce.


It's peanut blart and jelly time once again, as Sony Pictures and Happy Madison are moving forward with a sequel to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" that will be directed by Andy Fickman ("Parental Guidance"), an individual familiar with the project told TheWrap.
James co-wrote the sequel with Nick Bakay and will produce with Todd Garner and Happy Madison principal Adam Sandler. Production could start as soon as April.
Steve Carr directed the first "Paul Blart," which was a surprise hit several years ago, beating Seth Rogen's "Observe and Report" to theaters by three months en route to grossing $146 million at the U.S. box office.
Fickman may be the perfect choice to direct a movie about a prat-falling mall cop, given the fact that his production company is called Oops Doughnuts.
Fickman is a Disney favorite who directed Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in "The Game Plan" and "Race to Witch Mountain." He recently directed the Billy Crystal-Bette Midler comedy "Parental Guidance," which grossed $119 million worldwide on a $25 million production budget. The filmmaker is represented by WME and Management 360.

La Regie des Transports Maritimes (RTM) était une administration de l'Etat Belge en charge de l'organisation d'un service de ferries transmanche sur la route Ostende - Douvres sous le nom commercial d' Oostende Lines, disparue en 1997.

Histoire

Genèse
Le service est inauguré entre Ostende et Douvres le 4 mars 1846, par le bateau à aubes "Chemin de Fer", rebaptisé plus tard Diamant .

En raison de la grande concurrence avec les lignes desservant Calais, Dunkerque, Zeebrugge, Anvers, Rotterdam et Hoek of Holland, la RTM a fait évoluer sa flotte en permanence, des bateaux à aubes aux bateaux à turbine à vapeur (à partir de 1905 avec le "Princesse Elisabeth") puis aux bateaux à moteur diesel et enfin aux ferries à grande vitesse (Boeing Jetfoil). De nombreux navires de la ligne ont été construits à Anvers par le chantier naval de SA John Cockerill .

Bien que la compagnie jouisse d'une bonne réputation, un accident se produit  Le 29 mars 1889, lorsque deux de ses bateaux à roue à aubes - les Princesse Henriette et Comtesse de Flandre - entrent en collision dans un épais brouillard alors qu'ils tentaient tous deux d'éviter une collision avec un bateau de pêche au large de  Dunkerque. Le princesse Henriette éperonne le comtesse de Flandre sur le côté tribord, juste derrière la roue à aubes, coupant presque le navire en deux. L'afflux d'eau provoque l'explosion d'une chaudière et le Comtesse de Flandre sombre, faisant 15 morts dont 4 passagers. La princesse Henriette a secouru 32 survivants, dont 19 passagers. Parmi les survivants figurait Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte II .

Utilisation en temps de guerre

Les navires de la RTM ont été utilisés pendant les deux guerres mondiales. Au début de la Première Guerre mondiale, le vapeur à turbine "Jan Breydel" évacue Elisabeth de Bavière, reine de Belgique et les enfants royaux le 28 août 1914. Plus tard, les vaisseaux de la ligne évacuèrent diplomates, troupes et autres dignitaires avant la prise d'Anvers .

Un bateau à aubes, le Flandre, est tombé aux mains des Allemands et a été employé par eux comme navire de stockage. Le Flandre est sabordé à Ostende lors du retrait des troupes allemandes en octobre 1918.

Le Marie Henriette fait naufrage le 24 octobre 1914 sur des rochers alors qu'il tentait d'entrer à Barfleur avec 650 militaires blessés à son bord. L'accident a été attribué à l'extinction inattendue des feux du port.

Le "Princesse Clémentine" (à aubes) et le "Princesse Elisabeth" (à turbine) sont utilisés comme vaisseaux de transports rapides par les militaires entre Douvres et les ports de Flandre, tandis que le "Rapide" (à aubes) et le "Stad Antwerpen" (à turbines) ont servi de navires-hôpitaux. Le navire le plus récent de la société à l'époque, le "Ville de Liège" (à turbines), était utilisé pour l'évacuation des blessés (il ne sera pas considéré comme navire hôpital car il était peint en couleur de camouflage disruptif plutôt qu'en couleur blanche, et il était par ailleurs armé).

En raison de sa vitesse plus faible, le plus ancien navire de la ligne à l'époque, le "Belgique" (construit en 1862 avec des roues à aubes) a été employé pendant la guerre dans des eaux plus protégées militairement comme transport de munitions (entre Southampton et Le Havre).

Après avoir augmenté la flotte d'après-guerre avec des ferries à turbine supplémentaires, la RTM a reçu son premier ferry diesel, le "Prince Baudouin", en 1934.

C'est également à cette période que, pour répondre à la demande, la RTM a commencé à transporter des automobiles et des camions en plus des passagers. Ces véhicules devaient initialement être chargées sur le pont arrière d'un bateau à l'aide d'une grue de quai. Cette approche lente et fastidieuse sera améliorée en 1936 avec la transformation du "Ville de Liège" en car-ferry (roulier) et rebaptisé London-Istanbul .

Après la reddition de la Belgique et l'invasion de la France en juin 1940, les navires de la RTM sont emmenés par la Royal Navy pour être utilisés dans le rôle de navire de débarquement. Ceux-ci comprenaient les "Prince Charles" (270 soldats), "Prince Léopold" (255 soldats), "Princesse Astrid" (247 soldats), "Princesse Joséphine-Charlotte" (210 soldats), "Prince Baudouin" (384 soldats), "Prins Albert" (350 soldats) et "Prince Philippe". (350 hommes). Un vapeur plus ancien, le "Princesse Marie-José", était employé comme patrouilleur auxiliaire. Le HMS Prince Philippe a été perdu dans une collision le 15 juillet 1941, tandis que le HMS Prince Leopold a été coulé par un sous-marin allemand (U-boot) le 29 juillet 1944.

Développement des voyages d'agrément après guerre

Après la guerre, les navires survivants ont été restitués à la RTM. En 1949, la société prend livraison du bateau à moteur diesel  "Prinses Josephine-Charlotte" (second du nom), il sera le premier d'une série de car-ferries.

Le service standard durant les années 1980 et 1990 prévoyait six traversées par jour dans chaque direction.

En plus des car-ferries traditionnels, la RTM a exploité également deux Boeing Jetfoils (uniquement pour les passagers, pas de possibilité d'embarquer des véhicules) à partir de 1981, ce qui réduisaient les temps de traversée de 4 heures (en car-ferry classique) à une heure quarante (en ferry rapide). Ils étaient populaires auprès des voyageurs aux longs cours, en correspondance avec les trains, et imposaient de s'acquitter d'un supplément de 5 livres sterling. Vu la moindre stabilité des jetfoils par mer agitée, ces services étaient susceptibles d'être annulés (en moyenne 15% d'annulations, surtout en hiver), les passagers étant alors invités à prendre un ferry classique.

Collaborations internationales

En 1970, l'opérateur ferroviaire anglais British Rail, qui pilotait également les services de ferries du pays, choisi de renommer cette activité en Sealink.

Parallèlement, il met en place, avec les opérateurs publics similaires de France, de Belgique et des Pays-Bas un consortium Sealink en vue de coorganiser les relations entre les îles Britanniques et le continent. Le consortium veillant à une harmonisation horaire avec les chemins de fer des pays concernés..Ainsi, à Ostende, outre les trains du service intérieur, des liaisons internationales directes circulaient quotidiennement jusqu'à Berlin, Vienne, Copenhague et Moscou (et beaucoup plus régulièrement encore vers Lille et Cologne).

En 1984, La branche britannique de Sealink est revendue à Sea Containers et donc privatisée. Faute de trouver un accord avec les nouveaux actionnaires, la RTM quitte le consortium (ou son homologue française continue à collaborer).

Entre 1985 et 1990, la RTM collabore avec European Ferries sous la marque commerciale Townsend Thoresen (qui deviendra P&O notamment suite à la catastrophe du Herald of Free Enterprise), et finit par redevenir totalement indépendante sous le nom d'Oostende Lines.

Fin du service

La perspective de l'ouverture du tunnel sous la manche incite les compagnies de ferries à se repositionner sur un créneau "low cost", visant la clientèle qui peut accepter des temps de transferts longs à faible coût (en majorité des camions). La stratégie est alors d'augmenter la taille des navires afin d'obtenir des économies d'échelle. La RTM commande l'un des premiers super ferries transmanche : Le "Prins Filip"  (investissement de 100.000.000 $ et 81.500 m³ de jauge brute). Il sera le plus grand ferry opérant à travers la Manche entre 1991 à 2001.

En 1993, un contrat de collaboration est signé avec Sally Lines, ce qui inclut le transfert du terminus britannique vers le port de Ramsgate qui est moins bien connecté aux réseaux routiers et ferrés, alors que la concurrence fait rage entre compagnies de ferries, avec les liaisons plus rapides depuis la France notamment et bien sûr avec le tunnel sous la manche ouvert en 1994. La situation financière de la RTM se dégrade sérieusement.

L'ouverture du tunnel, outre qu'elle réduit les temps de transit à travers la Manche pour les voitures et le fret, modifie également l'interconnexion des réseaux ferrés. Les villes de Douvres et Oostende ne sont plus sur le trajet le plus court, l'émergence du service Eurostar et la construction progressive de lignes à grande vitesse de part et d'autre du tunnel on quasi totalement détourné la demande de transport de la relation historique opérée par la RTM. Même avec un service réduit, la situation financière devient catastrophique et le gouvernement belge prends la décision de fermer l'entreprise en 1997. Le personnel est réintégré au sein du SPF Mobilité; les actifs sont vendus à diverses entreprises, notamment  Transeuropa Ferries qui a relancé la route entre Ramsgate et Ostende, d'abord en tant que service de fret uniquement, puis en prenant des passagers et des voitures. La société jettera toutefois l'éponge en 2013.

Parallèlement, Sally Lines poursuit l'exploitation sur Oostende - Ramsgate / douvres en y engageant entre 1997 et 2001 des catamarans rapides de la société Incat (avec les vaisseaux "38 - Rapide" et "41 - Diamant")

Depuis 2013, il n'y a plus d'offre de car-ferries entre le sud-est de l'Angleterre et la Belgique. E, 2023, seule une relation "nocturne" de Zeebruges à Kingston upon Hull, opérée par P&O, subsiste à raison de 3 trajets par semaine (l'unique bateau alternant allers et retours sur deux jours)..

Rupert Grint almost quit Harry Potter movies after Goblet of Fire
October 10, 2018 in Entertainment News
BY JESS LEE
The final few Harry Potter movies could have looked very different, as Rupert Grint has revealed that he seriously considered quitting the franchise midway through.
Grint, of course, played Ron Weasley in the film adaptations of JK Rowling's popular books.
But the actor admitted that he struggled to deal with the fame and thought about stepping down from the role after the fourth movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
"I had just finished my GCSEs," he told the Independent. "I thought, 'Do I actually want to keep doing this? It's a bit of a drag'.
",,,,a bit of a drag", but the money was damn good. lol

Rights groups want EU to reject FTA with Colombia
by Simon Willis October 10, 2012
Human rights groups have asked the European Union to reject a free trade pact with Colombia citing the country's continued human rights violations as the reason, reported Radio Caracol Wednesday.
The Secretary of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), Wolfgang Kaleck, said that it would send an "incredibly wrong signal" for the E.U. to implement the treaty.
The ECCHR are among a number of Human Rights activists and European Institutions who say that Colombia are in breach of human rights laws by denying freedom of association to work unions.
In a recent report, the ECCHR revealed that over the last 30 years almost 3,000 trade unionists have been murdered in Colombia. It also states that 77% of attacks go unpunished, often without even identifying suspected perpetrators.
While another report by the International Trade Union Confederation showed that Colombia is the most dangerous country in the world for unionist workers. The document showed that in 2011 at least 29 union workers were killed in the country on account of their union work.
The European Parliament in June approved a resolution stating Colombia must improve its human and labor rights situation before it would pass the pending FTA.

1. Dreaming of a bike Christmas: what better way to celebrate -27 degrees (-17 F) temperatures than a brisk bike ride through the capital? That's what about 500 bicyclists did in Moscow on Sunday. They had two goals: first, prove that bicycles are workable transportation all year long. Second: not get hypothermia. At least false beards, fur coats, and heated handlebars could help out with the latter.

2. How much do you love your honey pie? Enough to swipe a statue from a public park for a New Year's present? That was one Moscow man's idea of a gift for his girlfriend, but he was caught red-handed while trying to make away with a gilded statue from Sokolniki Park. The statue – which depicts a "Chief Accountant Fairy" (you know, one of those) – cost about 3 million rubles. Any chief accountant would bewail its disappearance, so it's lucky a good fairy ensured its return.
3. Do a downward dog...all the way to the jailhouse. A yoga teacher is on trial for suspected illegal missionary work after a lecture on yogic philosophy. The man who filed a complaint against the yogi is a Russian Orthodox activist whose wife left him to join a cult – presumably linked to yoga. The trial is controversial, with the yogi claiming his lecture was purely academic and one of the police officers involved doubting his own signature on the police report. Sounds like everyone involved needs a good meditate.

Amaro (Italy) – 28 June, 2012 – Eurotech, a leading company in embedded and supercomputing technologies, announces a co-design agreement with CINECA for the development and installation of a HPC (High Performance Computer) prototype called Eurora, in a project co-founded by PRACE 2IP. Eurotech received an order assignment of 850 thousand euro to delivery within year-end the first release of the new prototype HPC system.
CINECA, a Consortium made up of 54 Italian universities, is the largest Italian computing center and hosts Fermi, the second fastest supercomputer in Europe.
Eurotech, the first company in the industry to offer a commercial hot water cooled supercomputer in 2009, has recently extended such technology to hybrid energy-efficient systems. This is in line with the CINECA goal to set up a many integrated core prototype with hot water cooling to implement a system that excels in power saving and lowers total cost of ownerships (TCO) without any compromise in computing performance.
Energy consumption is an important challenge to develop the next generation of supercomputers, performing at exascale level (1 billion billion operations per second). The unavoidability and severity of the problem needs a quest for solutions: the answer relies in maximizing energy efficiency through all levels, from processors to the entire data centre. This is the holistic approach that Eurotech and CINECA want to follow.
CINECA will deploy this new prototype system in the fields of computational sciences, including fundamental constituents of matter, condensed matter, astrophysics, life sciences and Earth sciences.
"The new Eurora prototype system will be available to scientists in Europe, and will represent the first step for the creation of a 'Datacentric Exascale Lab' in Italy," says Sanzio Bassini, CINECA HPC Associate director.
Each Eurora rack, derived from the Aurora product line, will be able to deliver a computational performance above 300 TFlops, with a compelling energy efficiency of more than 2.5 GFlops per watt. Like in all Eurotech Aurora systems, each component of the new prototype will be hot water cooled, allowing free cooling even in the warmest countries, with a dramatic reduction of operational costs.
