Q: How to use the same set of environment variables between multiple ECS service definitions in CloudFormation I have a Django application that is running in ECS and everything is setup using CloudFormation. I need to use the same set of environment variables in container definitions for several different services/tasks. Currently I am repeating the environment variables for the different  containers definitions (Django webserver, multiple celery workers, beat and channels services, and container definitions in tasks for migrations and collectstatic).
Would it be possible for me to define the environment variables in one file, and then reference these environment variables in each container definition as a cross stack reference?
Here is the repo that I am working on that contains the CloudFormation and project code: https://gitlab.com/verbose-equals-true/django-postgres-vue-gitlab-ecs
The services for my CloudFormation stack are defined in this folder: https://gitlab.com/verbose-equals-true/django-postgres-vue-gitlab-ecs/tree/develop/cloudformation/services

A: The best and more secure option is AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store where you can share common environment variable betweens services and applications.

Parameter Store, part of EC2 Systems Manager, provides a centralized,
  encrypted store to manage your configuration data, whether plaintext
  data (such as database strings) or secrets (such as passwords).
  Parameters can be easily referenced with Systems Manager capabilities,
  such as Run Command, State Manager, and Automation. In addition,
  because Parameter Store is available through the AWS CLI, APIs, and
  SDKs, you can easily reference parameters across AWS services such as
  AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS.

So you can refer the common variable in your task defintion.
he following is a snippet of a task definition showing the format when referencing an Secrets Manager secret.
{
  "containerDefinitions": [{
    "secrets": [{
      "name": "environment_variable_name",

Column: As age-obsessed billionaires turn to 'vampire' therapies, the FDA takes a stand
There's nothing new about wanting to cheat death. What's different now is the combination of enormous wealth being focused on such endeavors and technological breakthroughs that promise a shot at longevity.
By David LazarusBusiness Columnist
Feb. 20, 2019 10:20 AM PT
The federal government finally took a stand this week on vampires feasting on the blood of the young.
It's against the practice.
Actually, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about older people injecting themselves with the blood plasma of young donors — a fringe therapy that's marketed as a way to fight aging and a variety of illnesses, including dementia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
"Simply put, we're concerned that some patients are being preyed upon by unscrupulous actors touting treatments of plasma from young donors as cures and remedies," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. "Such treatments have no proven clinical benefits for the uses for which these clinics are advertising them and are potentially harmful."
He added: "Reports we're seeing indicate that the dosing of these infusions can involve administration of large volumes of plasma that can be associated with significant risks, including infectious, allergic, respiratory and cardiovascular risks, among others."
Shortly after the FDA's announcement, a Monterey, Calif., start-up called Ambrosia Health said it would stop offering the injections. Customers paid $8,000 for a liter of young blood, $12,000 for two liters.
The vampire miracle cure is just one of numerous treatments that have formed a multibillion-dollar rejuvenation business as Americans grow older.
Some are legit, or involve minimal risk, such as taking fish oils to improve memory. Others are potentially dangerous or border on pure quackery.
"People have been peddling anti-aging snake oil since Day One," said Kathy Black, a professor of aging studies and social work at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee.
"Gerontologists have long said that there's a limit to how long you can live," she told me, "and that's about 120 years."
Not that there's anything new about wanting to cheat death — human beings have been keen on the idea since at least the ancient Egyptians.
What's different now is the combination of enormous wealth being focused on such endeavors and technological breakthroughs that promise at least a shot at longevity, if not immortality.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has channeled much of his fortune into keeping the Grim Reaper at bay. Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page reportedly are heavy into anti-aging research, as is Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
Dmitry Itskov, a Russian billionaire, has launched the 2045 Initiative, which aims to map the brain so our minds can be downloaded into robot bodies or synced with holograms.
Then there's Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel, who popularized the idea of harvesting the blood of the young.
He wrote in 2009 that he's opposed to "confiscatory taxes, totalitarian collectives and the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual." He subsequently revealed that he was taking human growth hormone pills as part of efforts to live to at least 120.
In an interview published in 2016, Thiel enthused about a process known as parabiosis, which sounds benignly academic until you learn that it involves taking blood from young people and injecting it into older people in hopes of tapping into a biological fountain of youth.
Thiel said we shouldn't be opposed to new ideas just because they're, you know, totally freaky.
"I suspect we're a little too biased against all these things in society," he said.
Thiel apparently has yet to indulge his thirst for parabiosis. Or if he has, he's not publicizing it (which would seem wise). He declared in November that he has never injected himself with a "young person's blood."
"I want to publicly tell you that I'm not a vampire," Thiel said at an investment conference. "On the record, I am not a vampire."
Well, it's good to have that settled. Although, for the record, the issue here is injection of blood plasma, the liquid portion of blood, not the part with red blood cells. So Thiel hasn't quite put the matter to rest.
In any case, there's no shortage of interest in Silicon Valley.
Valter Longo, a professor of gerontology at USC, told me that when he meets with tech industry execs, "there are lots of people talking about immortality. It's not about living to 110 or 120. It's about living to 1,000."
He declined to identify these wannabe Dorian Grays. All Longo would say is that "you hear some really delusional talk from some really famous people."
This isn't to say that medical breakthroughs aren't worth pursuing.
Stem cell research, for example, holds promise for addressing a variety of ailments including diabetes and Alzheimer's. However, as my colleague Michael Hiltzik has reported, claims of rejuvenation are, shall we say, exaggerated.
"Aging is a source of stigma and shame in our society, so it is not a surprise that many individuals are looking to profit from this," said Meika Loe, a professor of sociology and women's studies at Colgate University and author of "Aging Our Way: Lessons for Living from 85 and Beyond."
"Anti-aging quackery goes back for centuries, and for centuries people have been harmed by falling for the latest antidote to aging," she said.
Loe and Longo both said that even though there has been potentially promising research involving longevity of mice, there's precious little data about how such experiments can affect humans.
Not to be alarmist, but as an avid consumer of science fiction, I don't mind observing that whenever the government warns at the beginning of a movie not to inject yourself with other people's blood, it's just a matter of time before the human race is overrun by bloodsucking fiends.
Then there are the inevitable philosophical questions that would arise if anyone cracks the immortality code. Would it be available to everyone? Would we have two classes of people, immortals and non-immortals?
"It's time that we stop portraying aging as an illness, or something to fight," said Maria Claver, director of the gerontology program at Cal State Long Beach. "Rather than trying to avoid aging, which is impossible, we need to focus on educating people about lifestyle choices that can optimize the aging process."
Black at the University of South Florida said the question people should be asking isn't how we can last 1,000 years. It's how we can have the highest quality of life for the time we're given.
The trick, she said, isn't harvesting the blood of children. It's "staying physically, mentally and socially engaged."
Which may not be as fun as living to 1,000, but it makes the most of being in the moment.

This is a Time ball (mnemonic device).
It is dated Created before 1920. Its medium is knotted cordage of apocynum canabinum (indian hemp).
The time ball is a memory aid unique to the Klikitat and Yakama people of the Columbia Plateau, a region including parts of present-day Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. Unlike the knots of the quipu, used in Incan numerical recordkeeping, the knots of the "counting-the-days ball" ball, or ititamat, registered significant life events and were created and kept by women. When a young woman was marriageable, she started her first time ball, using fibers from the Apocynum canabinum plant, commonly known as Indian hemp or dogbane. Simple knots recorded individual days, while meaningful occasions, such as marriages, births, or deaths were highlighted with special markers, including glass beads, shells, human hair, and cloth fragments. As a woman grew older, her time ball contained the history of her family and the extended community, including days of bounty, hardship, or even conflict. Maintaining her time ball was so essential to a woman's identity that she was buried with it.
It is credited National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, 10/297.

Q: How to write all socket.io server console text into txt file? My socket server shuts down sometimes and I can't check why because there is no txt log where i could check last error messages, maybe there is way to write it in txt file after shutting down?

A: Invoke your program in the following way: node myserver.js 2> error_log.txt
When the program closes the error_log txt will have all messages, including the error message that made the program crash written in it.
To also get all console.log messages you can do node myserver.js > error_log.txt > 2>&1
(I used this command in the bash console on windows)

La piscicultura es la crianza de peces, término bajo el que se agrupan una gran diversidad de cultivos muy diferentes entre sí, en general denominados en función de la especie o la familia. Las instalaciones de piscicultura industrial se conocen como piscifactorías, aunque este es un término en desuso, debido a la diversificación que ha sufrido el cultivo, en depósitos, estanques, jaulas flotantes, etc.

Las especies más producidas a nivel mundial son carpa, salmón, tilapia y pez gato.

Historia
Existen referencias de prácticas de cultivo de peces en la antigua China, Egipto, Babilonia, Grecia, Roma y otras culturas euroasiáticas y americanas. Las referencias más antiguas datan en torno al 3500 a.C., en la antigua China. En el año 1400 a.C., ya existían leyes de protección frente a los ladrones de pescado. El primer tratado sobre el cultivo de carpa data del 475 a.C., atribuido al chino Fan-Li, también conocido como Fau Lai.

Entre griegos y romanos, existen numerosas referencias. Aristóteles y Plinio el Viejo escribieron sobre el cultivo de ostras. Plinio, en concreto, atribuye al general romano Lucinius Murena el invento del estanque de cultivo, y cita las grandes ganancias de su explotación comercial, en el . Séneca también tuvo su opinión sobre la piscicultura, bastante crítica: "la invención de nuestros estanques de peces, esos recintos diseñados para proteger la glotonería de las gentes del riesgo de enfrentarse a las tormentas".

En la cultura occidental, la acuicultura no recobró fuerza hasta la edad media, en monasterios y abadías, aprovechando estanques alimentados por cauces fluviales, en los que el cultivo consistía en el engorde de carpas y truchas.

En el año 1758 se produjo un importante descubrimiento, la fecundación artificial de huevos de salmones y truchas por Stephen Ludwig Jacobi, un investigador austríaco, aunque su investigación no salió del laboratorio y quedó en el olvido.

En 1842, dos pescadores franceses, Remy y Gehin, obtuvieron puestas viables, totalmente al margen del hallazgo de Jacobi. Lograron alevines de trucha, que desarrollaron en estanque con éxito. El descubrimiento llevó a la Academia de Ciencias de París a profundizar en el hallazgo, y con ello la creación del Instituto de Huninge, el primer centro de investigación en acuicultura.

Tipos de piscifactorías
Dentro de los métodos de acuicultura intensiva y extensiva, se utilizan numerosos tipos específicos de piscifactorías; cada uno tiene ventajas y aplicaciones propias de su diseño.

Sistema de jaulas

Las jaulas para peces se colocan en lagos, bayous, estanques, ríos u océanos para contener y proteger a los peces hasta que puedan ser cosechados. El método también se denomina "cultivo en alta mar" cuando las jaulas se colocan en el mar. Pueden estar construidas con una gran variedad de componentes. Los peces se introducen en las jaulas, se alimentan artificialmente y se recogen cuando alcanzan el tamaño comercial. Algunas ventajas de la piscicultura con jaulas son que se pueden utilizar muchos tipos de aguas (ríos, lagos, canteras rellenas, etc.), se pueden criar muchos tipos de peces y la piscicultura puede coexistir con la pesca deportiva y otros usos del agua.

La cría de peces en jaulas en mar abierto también está ganando popularidad. Dada la preocupación que suscitan las enfermedades, la pesca furtiva, la mala calidad del agua, etc., en general se considera que los sistemas de estanques son más sencillos de poner en marcha y más fáciles de gestionar. Además, los sucesos pasados de fallos en las jaulas que provocaron escapes, han suscitado preocupación en relación con el cultivo de especies de peces no autóctonas en jaulas en presas o en aguas abiertas. El 22 de agosto de 2017, se produjo un fallo masivo de este tipo de jaulas en una pesquería comercial del estado de Washington en Puget Sound, lo que provocó la liberación de casi 300.000 salmones del Atlántico en aguas no autóctonas. Se cree que esto pone en peligro a la especie nativa de salmón del Pacífico.

Marine Scotland lleva un registro de escapes de peces enjaulados desde 1999. Se han registrado 357 escapes de peces, con 3.795.206 peces en agua dulce y salada. Una empresa, Dawnfresh Farming Limited, ha sido responsable de 40 incidentes y 152.790 truchas arco iris escapadas a lagos de agua dulce.

Aunque la industria de las jaulas ha realizado numerosos avances tecnológicos en la construcción de jaulas en los últimos años, el riesgo de daños y escapes debido a las tormentas es siempre motivo de preocupación.

La tecnología marina semisumergible está empezando a repercutir en la piscicultura. En 2018, 1,5 millones de salmones se encuentran en medio de una prueba de un año de duración en Ocean Farm 1, frente a la costa de Noruega. El proyecto semisumergible  es el primero de acuicultura en aguas profundas del mundo, e incluye un corral de  altura por  diámetro hecho con una serie de armazones de malla y redes. Está diseñado para dispersar los desechos mejor que las granjas más convencionales en aguas costeras protegidas, por lo que favorece una mayor densidad de empaquetamiento de peces.

Redes de aleación de cobre
Recientemente, las aleaciones de cobre se han convertido en importantes materiales de red en acuicultura. Las aleaciones de cobre son antimicrobianas, es decir, destruyen bacterias, virus, hongos, algas y otros microbios. En el medio marino, las propiedades antimicrobianas/alguicidas de las aleaciones de cobre evitan el biofouling, que puede describirse brevemente como la acumulación, adhesión y crecimiento indeseables de microorganismos, plantas, algas, gusanos tubícolas, percebes, moluscos y otros organismos. <>

La resistencia al crecimiento de organismos en las redes de aleación de cobre también proporciona un entorno más limpio y saludable para que los peces de piscifactoría crezcan y prosperen. Las redes tradicionales requieren una limpieza periódica y laboriosa. Además de sus beneficios antiincrustantes, las redes de cobre tienen fuertes propiedades estructurales y de resistencia a la corrosión en entornos marinos.

Las aleaciones de cobre-zinc y latón se utilizan en operaciones de acuicultura a escala comercial en Asia, Sudamérica y EE.UU. (Hawái). Se está llevando a cabo una amplia investigación, que incluye demostraciones y ensayos, sobre otras dos aleaciones de cobre: cobre-níquel y cobre-silicio. Cada uno de estos tipos de aleación tiene una capacidad inherente para reducir la bioincrustación, los residuos de las jaulas, las enfermedades y la necesidad de antibióticos, al tiempo que mantiene la circulación del agua y las necesidades de oxígeno. También se están estudiando otros tipos de aleaciones de cobre para su investigación y desarrollo en acuicultura.

En el sudeste asiático, la plataforma tradicional de cría en jaulas se denomina kelong.

Sistema de corrales abiertos
El sistema de corrales de red abiertos es un método que se lleva a cabo en aguas naturales, como ríos, lagos, cerca de la costa o en alta mar. Los criadores crían los peces en grandes jaulas que flotan en el agua. Los peces viven en aguas naturales pero están aislados con una red. Como la única barrera que separa a los peces del entorno es una red, esto permite que el agua fluya desde el entorno "natural" a través de las piscifactorías.

El emplazamiento de la piscifactoría es crucial para que ésta tenga éxito o no. Antes de instalar cualquier piscifactoría, es muy recomendable ser selectivo con la ubicación de la piscifactoría. El emplazamiento debe examinarse en función de algunos elementos esenciales. Las condiciones importantes de la ubicación son:

 Un buen intercambio de agua y también una alta reposición de agua de fondo.
 En todas las profundidades debe haber una buena condición de corriente. Esto es necesario porque las partículas orgánicas deben poder ser arrastradas por la corriente.
 Los fondos de grava y arena son aptos para la piscicultura, aunque los fondos de limo y fango no lo son. Deben evitarse.
 La red debe estar al menos  o más por encima del fondo, por lo que la profundidad es importante.

A pesar de estas importantes condiciones del emplazamiento, el método de corrales de red abiertos fue muy popular en Noruega y China. Esto se debe a la rentabilidad y eficacia de este método.

Efectos externos negativos
Debido al flujo de agua del océano y a otras razones, el cultivo en corrales de red abiertos se considera un método de alto riesgo para el medio ambiente. El flujo permite que los productos químicos, los parásitos, los residuos y las enfermedades se propaguen en el medio cerrado, lo que no es beneficioso para el entorno natural. Otra consecuencia negativa es la elevada tasa de escape de los peces cultivados de estos corrales de red abiertos. Estos peces que se escapan también suponen un alto riesgo para los ecosistemas circundantes.

La cantidad de residuos orgánicos producidos por las piscifactorías también es alarmante. Se calcula que una piscifactoría de salmón en Escocia, por ejemplo, produce tantos residuos orgánicos como el equivalente a una ciudad de entre 10.000 y 20.000 habitantes cada año.

En la actualidad, el 50% del marisco del mundo se cría en granjas.

Sistemas de acequias o estanques

En ellos se utilizan acequias o estanques agrícolas para criar peces. El requisito básico es disponer de una acequia o estanque que retenga el agua, posiblemente con un sistema de riego por encima del suelo (muchos sistemas de riego utilizan tuberías enterradas con colectores).

Con este método, las asignaciones de agua pueden almacenarse en estanques o zanjas, normalmente revestidos de bentonita arcilla. En los sistemas pequeños, los peces suelen ser alimentados con comida comercial para peces, y sus productos de desecho pueden ayudar a fertilizar los campos. En los estanques más grandes, el estanque cultiva plantas acuáticas y algas como alimento para los peces. Algunos de los estanques más exitosos cultivan cepas de plantas introducidas, así como cepas introducidas de peces.

El control de la calidad del agua es crucial. La fertilización, la clarificación y el control del pH del agua pueden aumentar sustancialmente el rendimiento, siempre que se evite la eutrofización y se mantengan altos los niveles de oxígeno. Los rendimientos pueden ser bajos si los peces enferman por estrés electrolítico.

Cultivo compuesto de peces
El sistema de piscicultura compuesta es una tecnología desarrollada en la India por el Consejo Indio de Investigación Agrícola en la década de 1970. En este sistema, tanto de peces locales como importados, se utiliza una combinación de cinco o seis especies de peces en un único estanque piscícola. Estas especies se seleccionan para que no compitan por el alimento entre ellas al tener diferentes tipos de hábitats alimenticios. Como resultado, se utiliza el alimento disponible en todas las partes del estanque. Los peces utilizados en este sistema son catla y carpa plateada (que se alimentan en la superficie), rohu (que se alimenta en la columna), y mrigal y carpa común (que se alimentan en el fondo). Otros peces también se alimentan de los excrementos de la carpa común, lo que contribuye a la eficacia del sistema, que en condiciones óptimas produce entre 3.000 y 6.000 kg de pescado por hectárea y año..

Uno de los problemas de este tipo de piscicultura compuesta es que muchos de estos peces sólo se reproducen durante el monzón. Incluso si los peces se recogen de la naturaleza, también pueden mezclarse con otras especies. Por lo tanto, un problema importante en la piscicultura es la falta de disponibilidad de stock de buena calidad. Para superar este problema, ahora se han encontrado formas de criar estos peces en estanques usando estimulación hormonal. Esto ha asegurado el suministro de stock de pescado puro en las cantidades deseadas.

Sistemas de reciclaje integrados

Uno de los mayores problemas con la piscicultura de agua dulce es que puede usar un millón de galones de agua por acre (alrededor de 1 m3 de agua por m2) cada año. Los sistemas extendidos de purificación de agua permiten la reutilización (reciclado) del agua local.

Las piscifactorías puras de mayor escala utilizan un sistema derivado (hay que reconocer que muy perfeccionado) del Instituto de la Nueva Alquimia de los años setenta. Básicamente, se colocan grandes peceras de plástico en un invernadero. Se coloca un lecho hidropónico cerca, encima o entre ellos. Cuando las tilapias se crían en los tanques, son capaces de alimentarse de algas, que crecen de forma natural en los tanques cuando éstos están debidamente fertilizados..

El agua del tanque circula lentamente hasta los lechos hidropónicos, donde los desechos de la tilapia alimentan los cultivos de plantas comerciales. Los microorganismos cultivados cuidadosamente en el lecho hidropónico convierten el amoníaco en nitratos, y las plantas se fertilizan con los nitratos y fosfatos. El medio hidropónico, que hace las veces de filtro aireado de guijarros, filtra el resto de desechos..

Este sistema, adecuadamente ajustado, produce más proteína comestible por unidad de superficie que cualquier otro. Una gran variedad de plantas pueden crecer bien en los lechos hidropónicos. La mayoría de los cultivadores se concentran en hierbas (por ejemplo, perejil y albahaca), que alcanzan precios elevados en pequeñas cantidades durante todo el año. Los clientes más comunes son restaurantes mayoristas.

Como el sistema vive en un invernadero, se adapta a casi todos los climas templados, y también puede adaptarse a climas tropicales.
El principal impacto medioambiental es el vertido de agua que debe ser salada para mantener el equilibrio electrolítico de los peces. Los acuicultores actuales utilizan diversos trucos patentados para mantener sanos a los peces, lo que reduce sus gastos en sal y permisos de vertido de aguas residuales. Algunas autoridades veterinarias especulan que los sistemas desinfectantes de ozono ultravioleta (muy utilizados para peces ornamentales) pueden desempeñar un papel destacado en el mantenimiento de la salud de la tilapia con agua recirculada.

Varias grandes empresas bien capitalizadas en este campo han fracasado. Gestionar tanto la biología como los mercados es complicado. Un futuro desarrollo es la combinación de sistemas de reciclaje integrados con la agricultura urbana, como se ha probado en Suecia con la Iniciativa Greenfish.

Cría clásica de alevinos
También se denomina "sistema de flujo continuo" . Las truchas y otros peces deportivos suelen criarse a partir de huevos hasta alevinos y luego se transportan en camiones hasta los arroyos y se sueltan. Normalmente, los alevines se crían en tanques de hormigón largos y poco profundos, alimentados con agua dulce del arroyo. Los alevines reciben alimento comercial en gránulos. Aunque no es tan eficaz como el método de los Nuevos Alquimistas, también es mucho más sencillo y se ha utilizado durante muchos años para repoblar los arroyos con peces deportivos. Anguila europea (Anguilla anguilla) Los acuicultores obtienen para sus piscifactorías un suministro limitado de angulas, fases juveniles de la anguila europea que nadan hacia el norte desde las zonas de cría del Mar de los Sargazos. La anguila europea está en peligro de extinción debido a la captura excesiva de angulas por parte de pescadores españoles y a la sobrepesca de anguilas adultas en, por ejemplo, el IJsselmeer holandés. Aunque las larvas de anguila europea pueden sobrevivir durante varias semanas, aún no se ha logrado el ciclo vital completo en cautividad.

Estación piscícola
Las estaciones piscícolas prestan el servicio de inseminación al pez para la producción de la cría. Se construyen con el fin de criar y pescar un buen producto.

La ciudad de Necochea (Argentina) cuenta con una estación de piscicultura ubicada en el paraje Las Cascadas, sobre el río Quequén. En ella realizan pasantías alumnos avanzados de la carrera de Técnico en Acuicultura de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata y de la Universidad Nacional de Bahía Blanca, y también lo hacen alumnos de la carrera de Médico Veterinario de la Universidad Nacional del Centro.

Carpicultura

Es el cultivo de la carpa común y otros Ciprínidos, especies de agua dulce no tropical. Son los cultivos acuícolas más antiguos, ya practicados por los antiguos sumerios, chinos y romanos.

Salmonicultura

Piscicultura tropical y subtropical de agua dulce
Son cultivos de especies de peces tropicales y subtropicales dulceacuícolas, en cultivo exterior o invernadero. Los más extendidos son los cultivos de tilapia, Pacu o Pangasius, y constantemente se están incorporando nuevas especies.

Estos cultivos a menudo se asocian a cultivo de crustáceos de agua dulce y otras actividades agropecuarias, denominados Cultivos Integrados. En ellos se integra la producción acuícola en la producción agrícola. En el caso de los sistemas aquapónicos, el agua de cultivo se utiliza para el cultivo de vegetales de huerta, aprovechando los nutrientes minerales generados por el cultivo, y la capacidad de depuración vegetal.

Piscicultura marina

Tiene una gran importancia en el comercio. En el caso de muchas especies, la producción de cultivo casi ha sustituido por completo a las capturas pesqueras. Algunas de las especies más importantes son el rodaballo, la dorada, lubina, bacalao, besugo, lenguado, etc.

Una variante de acuicultura marina es el llamado engrasado de atún rojo, que se realiza en jaula a partir de ejemplares silvestres, hasta ahora sin cerrar el ciclo biológico de la especie. Tras un proceso de engorde son vendidos posteriormente en el mercado japonés, donde es un producto muy apreciado y de elevado precio.

A Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) is necessary should you be unable to manage your own affairs, through an accident, or some degenerative disease, which affects your faculties.
There are two versions: An LPA for Property & Financial Affairs and an LPA for Health & Welfare Matters.
It is never too soon to prepare these documents because when it is needed, by definition, you will be unable to sign it. Nor should it be regarded as something for the elderly; industrial and road accidents, holiday and hospital infections can all render you helpless to handle your own affairs. The Will Bureau has been preparing Powers of Attorney for our clients over many years.
Sadly, we have had clients lose capacity to make decisions for themselves. In some cases this has been temporary and the client has recovered to be able to manage their own affairs again. In such cases, the Attorney of the client has been able to act in their best interests to ensure their financial affairs are kept in order. For those clients who tragically did not recover, the Attorney has been able to manage the health arrangements in accordance with the clients wishes.
The Attorney is usually a family member and it is possible to name more than one Attorney and/or to appoint a Replacement Attorney or Attornies in the event that the first Attorney is unable to act.
We highly recommend these documents and around 80% of clients we make Wills for, also take our advice and have these documents prepared.

Fire Destroys South Dakota Honey Company Building
A weekend fire destroyed a building at the Taylor Honey Co. in the northeastern South Dakota town of Andover, but the company owner and others say the incident could have been worse.
The Sunday afternoon fire started in the engine of a fuel-powered pump that two workers were using inside the building, Fire Chief Torre Raap said. One man was treated at the scene for minor burns.
Firefighters contained the blaze to the honey company building but a few homes nearby were evacuated as a precaution.
Sue Clynick, who lives a block away from the building, said she could hear explosions and see pieces of steel flying through the air.
"You could just hear poof, poof; it was just scary," she told the American News. "It could have been really bad here in Andover."
Fire departments from four area towns were called in to help battle the blaze, KDLT-TV reported. Smoke from the fire could be seen more than 20 miles away.
The building contained beeswax, honeycombs and other items, but no honey.
"Fortunately, we're kind of wrapping up the honey harvest," business owner Paul Taylor told the newspaper. "In this area, we just finished last week. The honey had been shipped off.
"It could have been a lot worse," he said.

A charity which helps parents and carers of children in the county with additional needs and disabilities has received £150 thanks to shoppers at a St Ives supermarket.
Visitors to the Waitrose St Ives branch chose to support Pinpoint Cambridgeshire through the store's green token scheme.
The scheme works by placing a token in one of three local community causes chosen by the branch. The more tokens a cause gets, the bigger the donation it receives.
Sarah Conboy, chief executive of Pinpoint, said: "A huge 'thanks' to everyone who chose us as their cause, and to Waitrose for enabling us to raise much needed funds. "Pinpoint Cambridgeshire is thrilled to have benefited from Waitrose's scheme and we look forward to putting the donation to good use in the near future".
Pinpoint plan on using the funds to support ongoing work and projects with parent carer volunteers.

Williams admits COVID-19 battle was toughest fight of career
/ by Jennifer Lee Chan
At 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, Trent Williams appears indestructible.
The Pro Bowl left tackle is known for his athleticism, power and speed, but something that Williams couldn't even see, gave him one of the most challenging battles of his NFL career.
It was a long 14-day stretch for Williams, who tested positive for COVID-19 following the 49ers' Week 10 loss in New Orleans. The 10-year NFL veteran is no stranger to invisible opponents -- his battle with cancer kept him off the field for the entire 2019 NFL season.
On Saturday, Williams revealed that fighting COVID-19 might have been more mentally grueling than cancer, just because of his medical history.
"It was the toughest thing I've had to do in my NFL career," Williams said. "Not only did I have 14 days of literally nothing, I spent that time battling COVID. I wasn't just sitting on the couch just having iced lemonade, enjoying the newspaper.
"It was stressful times because you never know how all that is going to affect you, and nobody knows until it actually runs its course."

Williams is categorized as high-risk for COVID-19, not just as a cancer survivor, but as an asthmatic. Knowing that the virus could be detrimental to his respiratory system was frightening.
"The time it took to just mentally prepare for what was going to happen, and then to get my body over it," Williams said. "That, in and of itself took seven to eight days."
Playing a full game facing the Los Angeles Rams after not stepping foot on a field since the New Orleans game presented an enormous physical challenge, but Williams was determined to give it go.
The 49ers medical staff told Williams on the Thursday prior to playing the Rams that he had a chance to suit up for the game, and then confirmed he was cleared to play the day before. After nearly two weeks of self-quarantining and no conditioning, Williams was happily surprised but also a little nervous.
"I didn't have much warning," Williams said. "I honestly didn't expect to play, I wanted to and knew it was possible, so I was going to give it a go."

Playing over 70 offensive plays after two weeks away was daunting, but Williams said the training staff did everything they could to help him get prepared and make it through the matchup in Los Angeles.
"It was more taxing on me mentally that it was physically, just not knowing the depth that it could go to, and coming off of the year I had in '19 where things didn't really go my way," Williams said. "I was kind of expecting this COVID deal to take the same turn, but luckily I'm blessed and I got through it, little to no effect from it now.
"I'm just thankful because I know there are a lot of people out there who battled this virus and it didn't end so well for them, so I never want to overlook that."

Q: Adding Windows 7 to Fedora 17 Grub Boot Loader I'm trying to set up a dual-boot situation with my Windows 7 and Fedora 17 partitions and I left the install grub to /boot option on when I was installing Fedora. I would like to be able to add Windows 7 to the grub boot loader, but the advice I've seen online says to modify /boot/grub/grub.conf, but I don't have that file.
$ ls /boot/grub/
splash.xpm.gz

Has anyone done this? I'm thinking that I'll just need to re-install everything and use the Windows boot loader, but it would be nice to use grub instead.

A: grub.conf is not in /grub but in /boot/grub2.

A: *

*Connect Windows 7 Disk.

*Boot with Fedora Disk.

*Launch Terminal login root user.

*update-grub

*Restart.

World Energy Council Announces New Partnership with Arup
Blue & Green Tomorrow
The World Energy Council has formed a new partnership with Arup who has recently signed an agreement to be a Project Supporter for the World Energy Scenarios flagship study.
Christoph Frei, World Energy Council Secretary General, said: "We are pleased to welcome Arup as our newest partner. With a special focus on urban innovation, Arup will be providing perspectives and analysis on a selection of resource areas that include ongoing work on e-storage, e-mobility, energy efficiency, solar energy, waste-to-energy, energy-water-food nexus and resilience. With 10,000 projects going on across the globe, Arup brings a treasure box of worldwide experience and case studies to our scenarios work."
Arup and the World Energy Council will collaborate to analyse how different key urban drivers will play into the different Council energy scenarios. It is a partnership which brings together the expertise of the World Energy Council's global network of leaders and practitioners and Arup's strong capabilities and experience within urban design from its own activities in innovation and technology. The results of this new partnership will be fed into the World Energy Council flagship Scenarios study which will be unveiled at the World Energy Congress in Istanbul on 10 October 2016.
Paula Kirk, Global Climate Change Leader, Arup, said: "The World Energy Council is a prominent figure and thought leader and our partnership with them will help us further investigate the potential opportunities in urban areas for innovation and technology in energy.
"The role of Project Supporter will help strengthen our capabilities as well as encourage City leaders to make informed decisions about the various forms of urban energy. We look forward to our long term partnership with the World Energy Council."

The manor house at Owlpen has been very little altered since a few improvements were made by Thomas Daunt IV between 1719 and 1723. It preserves the rare features and textures of a Tudor manor house of its date and status, yet has adapted to 21st-century needs to create a family house that continues to be well loved and lived in today. We describe here the interiors to give some flavour of its main rooms.
The Great Hall (mid-sixteenth century)
THE HALL IS THE HEART of the Tudor manor house, evidently a rebuilding on the site of the earlier medieval Hall, which would have been open to the roof. It is dated probably shortly after 1542, when Thomas Daunt I inherited; he married Alice Throckmorton of Tortworth, and died in 1573.
The main entry is at the lower end of the Hall; the 'summer' beams of the compartment ceiling stop short at a huge transverse beam, marking the position of the old screens passage.
There is Arts and Crafts modelled plaster-work set in the walls: the plaster owl overdoor at the upper end of the Hall was modelled by Norman Jewson. The animals over the north door (to the penthouse) and the thistles in the east splay of the window are also by him. The plaster foliage in the west (right) splay is designed and modelled by Ernest Gimson, for whom Jewson worked as an 'improver' after 1907.
The classical timber arched doorcase (service end; east wall) is detailed in the estate accounts of Thomas Daunt IV. It was inserted in September 1722, by Henry Fryer, probably of Bristol, and represents the last phase of new work done on the house until the repairs of the twentieth century. It cost fifteen shillings; the accounts describe it as "a pair of Italian carv'd pillars" (Italian was a contemporary term for the composite order).
It was reduced in height when the concrete floor was laid by Jewson in 1926, making it stocky in proportion. A spring rose under the floor nearby.
On the north wall is a contemporary heraldic wallpainting depicting the coat of arms of Daunt (argent, a chevron sable between three Cornish choughs' heads erased proper) quartering the canting arms of de Olepenne (the owls in the second and third quarters: sable, a chevron between three owls argent). The formalized mantling in spirals is vivid.
It celebrates the marriage of Margery de Olepenne, the last of the line which had held the Manor from the time of the earliest records in the eleventh century, to John Daunt, a clothier from Wotton-under-Edge, in about 1462.
The Little Parlour (1720)
The Little Parlour painted by Frank Moss Bennett in 1922,
when the manor house had been uninhabited for 80 years.
THOMAS DAUNT IV took over the Owlpen estate in 1719. His estate account book shows that he inserted the door case, sash windows and paneling to form this elegant early Georgian interior, created within the shell of the massive walls of the old service wing at the lower end of the Hall, shortly after. The buffet recess to the right of the fireplace bears traces of original gilding and marbling in the shell head.
The reference of Henry Fryer, the carpenter, survives stating 'he is a very good Workman and if you please to Imploy him he will do it to yr content and as wel and as Cheape as any man you can Imploy.' He was paid £7 for the 'wainscott' aneling and work to the room. The sashes were 8s. each, but glazing at 24s. seems dear. The chimney-piece cost 10s.
The floor was raised by Norman Jewson in 1926, altering the classical proportions: the dado rail is now a few inches above the floor, and the doors cut off at the frieze rail. The room was repainted in shades of grey in 1976, a little lighter than it was in the eighteenth century, and the curtains hung. (Thomas Daunt was buying muslin and fustian for his window curtains in 1721.) This room represents the last phase of work on the house.
Oak Parlour (dated 1616)
Oak Parlour in 1922 by Frank Moss Bennett
THE DATESTONE outside on this wing is inscribed 1616 T.D. for Thomas Daunt II. He came into possession of the manor in 1608, only after having conducted 12 years of law suits as far as the Star Chamber for possession of his inheritance against his niece, Frances, who had usurped him during his absence on his estates in Munster.
Frances was the wife of Sir John Bridgeman, who later became chief justice of Chester. After the favourable verdict, disclosing "plots and practices", the Bridgemans were ousted, and moved to Prinknash Park, now Abbey, near Gloucester.
This is the original lord's Parlour set at the upper end of the Hall, at the time when the demand for privacy and family life had first led to the planning of such 'withdrawing' parlours and 'apart-ments' at the manorial level. The bay window has geometrical lead lattice lights. The panelling is in situ, in quartered oak, with naïve attempts at graining, an early example of such work, showing whorls and circles and 'rib-cage' designs.
It is seen to best effect around the fireplace. This would have been set by the corner of the room as originally divided, with a small 'studdy' at the north end; it has Daunt graffiti on the stone surround, the dates mid-seventeenth century. Jewson's floor, in chestnut from the Uley saw mill, is laid with the wide butt ends reversed, tapering with the bole of the tree, dove-tail fashion, in the manner prescribed by Gimson: similar floors may be seen upstairs.
A 'good' (D. Verey) newel stair vice with some original timber baulk steps leads upstairs. The upper flight leads to a haunted garret. There is a squint window to the Hall (supposedly for ladies to view the goings-on after withdrawing).
The door frames (and beams) outside the Solar have distinctive pyramid and step chamfer stops.
A seventeenth-century child's shoe can be seen on the stairs. It is one of a hoard found by a fireplace during repairs. Such shoes were a token of good luck and fertility in folklore.

The Solar (dated 1616)
THE SOLAR is the principal first floor chamber of the early seventeenth-century manor (also known as "the lodgings") off the upper (west) end of the hall. The bay window has mullions well 'out of plumb'. There are good views over the formal parterre garden, with early Georgian gate piers and yew parlour, and the estate, with the Stuart Court House and Uley Bury iron age hill-fort (between the yew trees) to the west, and the Grist Mill, dated 1728, to the east. The wide floor-boards—also tapering—are a thin casing, cross-boarding over the older floor. There is a fragment of a stylized lily wallpainting (just above the skirting-board by the dressing table).
Queen Margaret's Room
(mid-sixteenth century)
THIS IS THE GREAT CHAMBER, or 'Hall Chamber' (above the Great Hall). It is known traditionally as "Queen Margaret's Room" because it has been long associated with the visit of Queen Margaret of Anjou, wife of Henry VI, during the Wars of the Roses. It is said to be haunted by her benign ghost, and numerous 'sightings' have been recorded.
The room did not exist in its present form on 3 May 3 1471, when the virago Queen was reputed to have visited on her way to defeat at the battle of Tewkesbury. A letter is recorded from The Prince of Wales requesting the Daunt family to help the Lancastrian cause and muster men for the battle. (The fifteenth-century stump bed, in which she allegedly slept, was here until 1927, when it was acquired by Mr Baron Ash for Packwood House, now owned by the National Trust, where it is shown in a pretended 'Queen Margaret's Room'.)
The double door frame with depressed arch has a fine panelled door with its original furniture (and unusual escutcheon), perhaps recycled from the old Great Hall service doorway. The cross-passage behind the room has a shouldered-arch doorway at the end. It is a 'gentry' feature of high status for this early period, when rooms normally led through from one to the next; a century or so later such passages would have been usual enough, and Owlpen had been eclipsed by newer and better neighbours. The fireplace (with more Daunt graffiti) has a 'floating' frieze and entablature.
Queen Margaret's Room is famous today for the set of late 17th-century painted cloths illustrating the life of Joseph and his brothers. It is said to be unique as a complete set of such cloths in the country. Please see separate webpage.
