Gazprom Sees South Stream Costing $39Bln
By	The Moscow Times
Gazprom said it will have to spend 510 billion rubles ($16.9 billion) upgrading its domestic gas pipeline system for the planned South Stream undersea link to Europe, increasing the project's cost.
The overall cost for South Stream — pipes going under the Black Sea to bypass Belarus and Ukraine through which Russian gas exports to Europe currently need to travel — is now seen at 29 billion euros ($39 billion).
Russia's gas export monopoly had previously estimated the cost of South Stream at 16 billion euros.
Disputes over gas prices between Russia and Ukraine in the winters of 2006 and 2009 led to stoppages in exports to Europe, which gets over a third of its gas from Russia.
The dispute flared up again over the weekend when Ukraine said Gazprom had hit it with a $7 billion bill for alleged arrears under a long-term contract.
Construction of South Stream, with an offshore section stretching 900 kilometers under the Black Sea, began on Dec. 7.
The official launch of gas flows is scheduled for late 2015 at an annual pace of 15.75 billion cubic meters, with full capacity of 63 bcm set to be reached in 2018, when all four parallel lines are set up.
Many analysts have questioned the need for South Stream, saying Gazprom should concentrate on talks with Ukraine, the company's second-largest customer after Germany.
The project has also been losing appeal as gas demand has been falling in Europe, where exports of Russian gas last year fell 8 percent to 138 bcm.
Citi analysts said South Stream would unlikely reach its planned capacity should there be agreement with Ukraine.

"Por" and "para" are two Spanish prepositions.
It is important to learn when to use "por" and when to use "para".
As a first approach, if you are an English speaker, it is a good idea to associate several English words with "por" and several words with "para".
Hoy no salgo por la lluvia = I don't go out today because of the rain.
Estoy aquí por ti = I'm here because of you.
Voy a pasear por la playa = I'm going to walk along the beach.
Te cambio la pelota por el muñeco = I give you the ball in exchange for the doll.
Para mí, la amistad es lo más importante = To me ("according to me"), friendship is the most important thing.
Para los españoles, el jamón ibérico es sagrado = To the spaniards ("according to them"), Iberian ham is sacred.
Esta carta es para ti = This letter is for you (directed to you).
Los caramelos son para los niños = The candies are for the children (are "directed to" them).
Vamos para Francia = We are going "direction" France.


Judge Richard Goldstone should have been a familiar figure all over the world long before now. A South African jurist who took controversial stands and actions against Apartheid, and later served as chief prosecutor for international tribunals on Yugoslavia and Rwanda, Goldstone is no stranger to death threats or global atrocities. He has proven his mettle beyond doubt, over and over.
But his most famous moment, and the one for which he will, in the end, be remembered, will be his report on his investigation into Operation Cast Lead. That's really a shame, because the now-infamous Goldstone Report was never going to have anything like the impact of his earlier activities.
The nature of anything controversial regarding Israel and the Palestinian Territories is that arguments heat up, people of different political views take sides, and they tend to stick to hard and fast positions because any sign of compromise is seized upon by the other side.
That certainly happened with Goldstone's report. Arguments, both pro and con, have been unyielding and largely unreasonable. With the help of a friend and colleague here in Washington who works for a distinguished human rights organization, I attempt to untangle the Goldstone mess and try to see it for what it is, warts, shiny parts and all.
Not since the British rule Palestine has this term been used so often. The UN Human Rights Council issued a mandate for an investigation into Operation Cast Lead before it was over, and that mandate was limited to an investigation of Israeli crimes.
Judge Goldstone wrangled an agreement from the president of the Council to broaden the mandate. In fact, the broadened mandate, which allowed him to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the war and include violations by both sides, was the one under which he worked.
The problem is that the original mandate was never formally rescinded. The Goldstone investigation and the report did in fact look into all of the actions it could, given the lack of cooperation by the Israeli government. But the fact that the mandate still officially stood meant not only that Israel had all the ammunition it needed to discredit the report, but also that the resulting recommendation from the UNHRC, despite a few last-minute changes that Goldstone managed to wrangle in, referred explicitly only to charges against Israel. The vague wording that would imply, to anyone thinking about it at all, that Hamas could also stand accused hardly conveys that the two sides were treated equally under the law.
Frankly, Goldstone, as a judge and former prosecutor, should have known better. He should have insisted that the original mandate be repealed and replaced with one that explicitly demanded that all belligerents in the conflict be subject to the same legal scrutiny.
Goldstone's failure to do this has unleashed a flood of criticism in Israel and the United States. Supporters of the report have correctly argued that Judge Goldstone did not operate under the official mandate, and a fair reading of the 575-page report confirms this. But defenders of Goldstone have failed to deal with the issue of the mandate, and the fact that the resulting declaration from the UNHRC that was sent to the General Assembly specifically mentions Israel, but not Hamas.
That would have been different had the mandate been altered as it should have been, and it's a real problem. It means that the mandate, as it stood, did in fact affect the output of the UNHRC. True, it didn't affect the report itself. However, it matters that the request that came to the General Assembly was, once again, clearly biased against Israel. Goldstone's efforts lessened this effect, but did not eliminate it, as his insistence on changing the mandate would have.
As it was, Goldstone was hampered. He was given much too short a period of time to thoroughly investigate Operation Cast Lead; his team included at least one person who had stated publicly that Israel had committed war crimes even before the war had ended; Israel refused to cooperate; and the investigation began months after the fighting had ended.
Given these already considerable obstacles, it boggles the mind that Goldstone and his team went beyond Cast Lead and, essentially, reported on 42 years of occupation. This was a serious error in judgment, and, in conjunction with the restraints Goldstone was already working with, seriously impacted the perception of his report's credibility.
Goldstone himself has ended up in a war of words with Israel's political establishment, most recently with President Shimon Peres. Why he would have provided more fodder for attacks against him by broadening his investigation beyond Gaza and the events of Cast Lead is unclear at best.
Goldstone's now famous quote, "If this was a court of law, nothing would be proven," has been badly distorted. He was not criticizing his report with that statement, but merely pointing out that this was not a trial and that his job was merely to gather evidence. Goldstone's job was not to convict or exonerate Israel. It was to investigate war crimes accusations raised against both Israel and Hamas during Operation Cast Lead, to see if a more thorough investigation, or even criminal charges were warranted. That's why his main recommendation was that both Israel and the Palestinians conduct independent investigations and, should it be warranted, take punitive action based on those investigations.
The South African judge's job was to gather prima facie evidence, and in fact, he did do that. The subsequent hue and cry, which Israel has been louder about, but which Hamas also engaged in, has diverted attention from the specific cases Goldstone and his team investigated, and which certainly raised serious questions about Israel's conduct in Gaza.
The flaws in Goldstone's report are many. For example, the report frequently decides "there is no other than conclusion" when a little imagination shows there could be. The report seems to gloss very lightly over accusations of Hamas intentionally situating themselves among civilians (he says "there is no evidence" noncommittally, but does not say what effort was made to uncover any).
But the report also raises very serious questions, while offering convincing justification for posing them. Goldstone himself has spoken frequently of the attack on the Al-Maqadmah mosque. Israeli military sources have offered their own rebuttal with possible reasons for the attack. This is precisely why an independent investigation of the incident is needed.
The Goldstone team also compiled compelling testimony concerning the Israel Defense Forces shooting of civilians waving white flags, using white phosphorous munitions in highly populated areas, attacking a UN-run school, and many other similarly troubling incidents.
Beyond a doubt, a serious, independent and credible Israeli investigation is warranted by such information.
But more than that, such an investigation serves the interests of Israel in no uncertain terms. Long before Goldstone came along, Operation Cast Lead had seriously damaged Israel's standing in the international community, including inspiring a serious decline in Israel's image in the United States.
Israeli officers face the real threat of arrest and trial abroad under the principle of universal jurisdiction (which permits accused war criminals to be tried by other countries if their home country does not do so itself). Operation Cast Lead has severely strained Israel's relations with key Muslim countries like Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. It has moved Israel much closer to international isolation.
Does it seem at all credible that Israel's standing would be any worse if it carried out a sincere investigation of these accusations? When Israel last investigated something as severe, after the massacres at Sabra and Shatilla during the 1982 Lebanon War, Israeli jurists found serious fault with IDF officers up to and including the Minister of Defense at the time, Ariel Sharon. And that helped establish Israel's bona fides as a country bound by the rule of law, a bona fides it is now rapidly losing.
It seems overwhelmingly likely that a serious investigation, one which includes the highest decision-making levels of the government, would come out with a damning report, but one which would also explain at least some of these accusations to the satisfaction of international law. At the very least, it would definitely leave Israel looking better than it does now.
Israel should have taken this step a long time ago. Now, even center-right Deputy PM Dan Meridor and arch-rightist Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beitenu) support conducting an independent investigation of Operation Cast Lead. The Goldstone Report, for all its faults, clearly made Israel take this more seriously. Imagine what might have been accomplished with a little more care.

Q: How do you mock ActivatedRoute I'm learning Angular and I want to do tests, but I'm stuck. I've got a function:
ngOnInit(): void {
    this.route.paramMap
    .switchMap((params: ParamMap) =>
        this.SomethingService.getSomething(params.get('id')))
        .subscribe(something => {
            this.something = something;
            this.doSomethingElse();
    });
}

where
route: ActivatedRoute

and I want to test it but I don't know how to mock ActivatedRoute

A: In my case, I had to create a new class to handle this type of test, this class will allow you to handle snapshot, queryParams, and params.
import { Params } from '@angular/router';
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

export class MockActivatedRoute {
  private innerTestParams?: any;
  private subject?: BehaviorSubject<any> = new BehaviorSubject(this.testParams);

  params = this.subject.asObservable();
  queryParams = this.subject.asObservable();

  constructor(params?: Params) {
    if (params) {
      this.testParams = params;
    } else {
      this.testParams = {};
    }
  }

  get testParams() {
    return this.innerTestParams;
  }

  set testParams(params: {}) {
    this.innerTestParams = params;
    this.subject.next(params);
  }

  get snapshot() {
    return { params: this.testParams, queryParams: this.testParams };
  }
}

this is how the test should look
import { MockActivatedRoute } from './mock-active-router';

describe('MyComponent', () => {
  let component: MyComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyComponent>;
  let activatedRouteStub: MockActivatedRoute;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    activatedRouteStub = new MockActivatedRoute();
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [MyComponent],
      providers: [
        { provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: activatedRouteStub }
      ]
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  it('should change params', () => {
    expect(component.myparam).toBeUndefined();
    expect(component.paramTwo).toBeUndefined();

    activatedRouteStub.testParams = {
      myparam: 'value',
      paramTwo: 1
    };
    fixture.detectChanges();

    expect(component.myparam).toEqual('value');
    expect(component.paramTwo).toEqual(1);
  });

https://gist.github.com/dvaJi/cf552bbe6725535955f7a5eeb92d7d2e

A: I had this problem since forever and I find out that this way it works as I want. No need to spy on the get for me for example.
Given:
ngOnInit() {
  this.some = this.activatedRoute.snapshot.paramMap.get('some') === 'some';
  this.else = this.activatedRoute.snapshot.paramMap.get('else');
}

Then:
describe('SomeComponent', () => {
  let component: SomeComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<SomeComponent>;

  let activatedRouteSpy;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    activatedRouteSpy = {
      snapshot: {
        paramMap: convertToParamMap({
          some: 'some',
          else: 'else',
        })
      }
    };

    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ SomeComponent ],
      providers: [
        { provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: activatedRouteSpy },
      ]
    })
      .compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(SomeComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });

  it('should load correct data (original stuff)', fakeAsync(() => {
    component.ngOnInit();
    tick(2000);

    // ... do your checks ...
  }));

  it('should load correct data (different stuff)', fakeAsync(() => {
    activatedRouteSpy.snapshot.paramMap = convertToParamMap({
      some: 'some',
      else: null,
    });
    fixture.detectChanges();
    component.ngOnInit();
    tick(2000);

    // ... do your checks ...
  }));
});

A: A simple way to mock ActivatedRoute is this one:
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [YourComponenToTest],
      providers: [
        {
          provide: ActivatedRoute,
          useValue: {
            params: Observable.from([{id: 1}]),
          },
        },
      ]
    });

Then in your test it will be available and your function should work with this (at least the ActivatedRoute part)
You can get it with TestBed.get(ActivatedRoute) in your it functions if you want to stock it in a variable.
Don't forget to import Observable from rxjs/Rx and not from rxjs/Observable

A: In recent Angular versions, a project's aot setting will be on by default (for better compile-time type checking). If this is the case with your project, then you probably need to at least stub out all the properties of ActivatedRoute and ActivatedRouteSnapshot. Something like this:
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { Type } from '@angular/core';
import { Location } from '@angular/common';
import { MockPlatformLocation } from '@angular/common/testing';
import { HttpClientTestingModule, HttpTestingController } from '@angular/common/http/testing';
import { ActivatedRoute, ActivatedRouteSnapshot, Params, ParamMap, convertToParamMap } from '@angular/router';
import { of, BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

import { HeroDetailComponent } from './hero-detail.component';
import { Hero } from '../hero';

export class MockActivatedRouteSnapshot implements ActivatedRouteSnapshot {
  private innerTestParams?: Params;

  constructor(params?: Params) {
    if (params) {
      this.testParams = params;
    } else {
      this.testParams = null;
    }
  }

  private get testParams() {
    return this.innerTestParams;
  }

  private set testParams(params: Params) {
    this.innerTestParams = params;
  }

  get paramMap() {
    return convertToParamMap(this.testParams);
  }

  get queryParamMap() {
    return this.paramMap;
  }

  get url() {
    return null;
  }

  get fragment() {
    return null;
  }

  get data() {
    return null;
  }

  get outlet() {
    return null;
  }

  get params() {
    return this.innerTestParams;
  }

  get queryParams() {
    return this.innerTestParams;
  }

  get component() {
    return null;
  }

  get routeConfig() {
    return null;
  }

  get root() {
    return null;
  }

  get parent() {
    return null;
  }

  get firstChild() {
    return null;
  }

  get children() {
    return null;
  }

  get pathFromRoot() {
    return null;
  }
}

export class MockActivatedRoute implements ActivatedRoute {
  private innerTestParams?: Params;
  private subject?: BehaviorSubject<Params> = new BehaviorSubject(this.testParams);
  private paramMapSubject?: BehaviorSubject<ParamMap> = new BehaviorSubject(convertToParamMap(this.testParams));

  constructor(params?: Params) {
    if (params) {
      this.testParams = params;
    } else {
      this.testParams = null;
    }
  }

  private get testParams() {
    return this.innerTestParams;
  }

  private set testParams(params: Params) {
    this.innerTestParams = params;
    this.subject.next(params);
    this.paramMapSubject.next(convertToParamMap(params));
  }

  get snapshot() {
    return new MockActivatedRouteSnapshot(this.testParams);
  }

  get params() {
    return this.subject.asObservable();
  }

  get queryParams() {
    return this.params;
  }

  get paramMap() {
    return this.paramMapSubject.asObservable();
  }

  get queryParamMap() {
    return this.paramMap;
  }

  get url() {
    return null;
  }

  get fragment() {
    return null;
  }

  get data() {
    return null;
  }

  get outlet() {
    return null;
  }

  get component() {
    return null;
  }

  get routeConfig() {
    return null;
  }

  get root() {
    return null;
  }

  get parent() {
    return null;
  }

  get firstChild() {
    return null;
  }

  get children() {
    return null;
  }

  get pathFromRoot() {
    return null;
  }
}

describe('HeroDetailComponent', () => {
  let component: HeroDetailComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<HeroDetailComponent>;
  let httpMock: HttpTestingController;
  let routeMock: MockActivatedRoute;
  let initialMockParams: Params;
  let locationMock: MockPlatformLocation;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    initialMockParams = {id: 11};
    routeMock = new MockActivatedRoute(initialMockParams);
    locationMock = new MockPlatformLocation;
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [
        HttpClientTestingModule
      ],
      declarations: [ HeroDetailComponent ],
      providers: [
        {
          provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: routeMock,
        },
        {
          provide: Location, useValue: locationMock,
        }
      ]
    })
    .compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HeroDetailComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    httpMock = TestBed.inject<HttpTestingController>(HttpTestingController as Type<HttpTestingController>);
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    httpMock.verify();
  });

  it('should be created', () => {
    fixture.detectChanges();

    expect(component).toBeTruthy();

    const dummyHero: Hero = { id: 11, name: 'dummyHero' };
    const req = httpMock.expectOne('api/details/11');
    req.flush(dummyHero);
  });
});

See also this answer.

A: For anyone interested on how to properly do it with multiple properties, this is the way you define your mock class:
import { convertToParamMap } from '@angular/router';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

export class ActivatedRouteMock {
    public paramMap = Observable.of(convertToParamMap({
        testId: 'abc123',
        anotherId: 'd31e8b48-7309-4c83-9884-4142efdf7271',
    }));
}

This way you can subscribe to your paramMap and retrieve multiple values - in this case testId and anotherId.

A: I use RxJS Subject instead of Observable for the paramMap. This way I can trigger the paramMap to emit new values during testing.
The ActivatedRoute is mocked directly in the providers-section of Testbed config:
providers: [{ provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: { paramMap: new Subject() } }]

Then, i get the activated route from the testbed:
activatedRoute = TestBed.inject(ActivatedRoute);

And trigger the paramMap to emit new values whenever required in the test procedure:
activatedRoute.paramMap.next({ get: (key: string) => 'value1'});

A: I was facing the same problem using paramMap instead of params.  This got it working for me, at least for the simplest case:
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/of';
import { ComponentToTest } from './component-to-test.component';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
  declarations: [ComponentToTest],
  providers: [
    {
        provide: ActivatedRoute,
        useValue: {
            paramMap: Observable.of({ get: (key) => 'value' })
        }
    }
  ]
});

A: Modifying Andrus' answer above . . .
For RxJS 6+:
import { convertToParamMap } from '@angular/router';
import { of } from 'rxjs';

export class ActivatedRouteMock {
    public paramMap = of(convertToParamMap({
        testId: 'abc123',
        anotherId: 'd31e8b48-7309-4c83-9884-4142efdf7271',
    }));
}

https://www.learnrxjs.io/operators/creation/of.html

A: I think the easiest way to run tests with a test using ActivatedRoute is to mock it using BehaviorSubjects (https://www.learnrxjs.io/learn-rxjs/subjects/behaviorsubject).
In your test bed setup code:
let activatedRouteMock = {
  queryMap: new BehaviorSubject<ParamMap>(
    convertToParamMap({ paramName: 'default value' })
  )
};

await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      providers: [
        { provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: activatedRouteMock }
      ],
      // ..rest of test bed
    }).compileComponents();

// ...rest of setupcode

Then, test without supplying custom parameter
it('some test', () => {
   // run your test code that expects default parameters
})

Then, test with special parameters
it('some other test', () => {
  activatedRouteMock.queryMap.next(convertToParamMap({ paramName: 'special value' }));

  // ...test that your component does what it's supposed to
});

This can obviously be constructed into a mock class that extends ActivatedRoute, or you can do a similar setup for params or queryParams instead of paramMap.

Staying at The Peninsula, Chicago

gregory.fleming@nzme.co.nz @GregFleming4
Greg Fleming enjoys five-star luxury at The Peninsula, Chicago.
The 20-level, or is that 19? — there's no 13th floor — Peninsula is set in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. This year the 339-room hotel was named the second-best hotel in the US by U.S. News & World Report and last year was
magazine's No 1 hotel in Chicago. Renovated just last year, it's across from Saks Fifth Avenue and numerous high-end retail stores, restaurants and attractions.
Getting there: About a 40-minute Uber from O'Hare; add another 40 if it's rush hour.
Check-in experience: Great. You enter the hotel to be greeted by a receptionist, doormen and bellhops. The lobby and concierge desks are up one level — and that lobby is spectacular, consisting of a large dining room, The Lobby, complete with fresh flowers, a grand piano and, if you arrive at the right time, a string quartet performing. And there's no having to use your room key to operate the lift.
Price: Ranges from $800 a night plus taxes (around 18 per cent in Chicago) to well over $1000 depending on room and dates.
Room: 1726 — with fast Wi-Fi, a separate dressing area, large bathroom, business desk, good pod-coffee machine, even a fax machine. The room has the largest TV I've seen in a hotel, with more than 80 channels including the NFL channel, all controlled by a bedside Android tablet. That tablet also controls everything from the air-conditioning to the lighting. Of course, if you get in late like I did there's 24-hour room service and the food's fantastic (there's an 18 per cent service charge on top of the meal).
Bathroom: As big as some hotel rooms I've stayed in — a deep bath with an inset TV in the wall, an enclosed toilet, roomy shower, lots of mirrors, and a phone.

Toiletries: Oscar de la Renta.
Facilities: The hotel has a three-lane indoor lap pool on the 19th floor. It is spectacular with floor to ceiling windows and amazing views out to Lake Michigan. There are gym facilities on the 20th floor and the hotel offers spa facilities, which you can book. There's a bistro, Pierrot Gourmet, on the corner (also run by the hotel) featuring all-day dining and some fabulous desserts. A hip rooftop bar, Z bar, opened recently overlooking Michigan Ave if you fancy handcrafted cocktails. Add to that an award-winning Chinese restaurant, Shanghai Terrace. The Lobby serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon teas.
Verdict: This is understated five-star luxury, impeccably done. Sometimes it's the little things — the way housekeeping left spectacle-cleaning cloths out, the Welcome to Chicago platter featuring a Sears Tower made of dark chocolate, the complimentary fruit bowl, the gracious mid-western hospitality throughout my stay.
Yes, it's pricey — but it's an unforgettable experience.

Boris Johnson has revealed that doctors began to make arrangements for his death as he fought coronavirus in hospital.
The prime minister, 55, said he was given 'litres and litres of oxygen' but 'the bloody indicators kept going in the wrong direction' and it soon hit home for him that there was no cure for Covid-19.
Getting emotional as he discussed his experience in an interview, the Tory leader added that it was 'extraordinary' that he recovered in time to be at the birth of his son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, the Conservative politician admitted he was reluctant to go into hospital, but doctors were 'adamant' and he was put on oxygen and fitted with a tube.
He said: 'It was a tough old moment, I won't deny it. They had a strategy to deal with a "death of Stalin"-type scenario.
'I was not in particularly brilliant shape and I was aware there were contingency plans in place.
'The doctors had all sorts of arrangements for what to do if things went badly wrong.'
Mr Johnson was forced to acknowledge how serious the situation was when he started to deteriorate and was admitted to intensive care on the Monday.

Although he never believed he would die, he said there was a 'bad moment' when 'it was 50-50 whether they would put a tube down his windpipe.
He said: 'That was when it got a bit . . . they were starting to think about how to handle it presentationally.'
The interview comes hours after the first picture of his newborn son was released.
Carrie Symonds posted a photo of her cradling their baby Wilfred to Instagram this afternoon.
The new mum also revealed that he was named after both parents' grandparents, as well as the two doctors that saved the prime minister's life from coronavirus in April.
She wrote on Instagram: 'Introducing Wilfred Lawrie Nicolas Johnson born on 29.04.20 at 9am.
'Wilfred after Boris' grandfather. Lawrie after my grandfather. Nicholas after Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart – the two doctors that saved Boris' life last month.

'Thank you so, so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH that looked after us so well. I couldn't be happier. My heart is full.'
The two medics later shared their 'warm congratulations' with the couple in a statement that read: 'We are honoured and humbled to have been recognised in this way, and we give our thanks to the incredible team of professionals who we work with at Guy's at St Thomas' and who ensure every patient receives the best care. We wish the new family every health and happiness.'
Dr Nicholas Price is a consultant in infectious diseases and general medicine, according to the Guys and St Thomas' NHS trust website, with further expertise in infection prevention and control.
Professor Nicholas Hart is the director of the Lane Fox Respiratory Service at the Guys and St Thomas' trust, and a professor of respiratory and critical care medicine at King's College London.
He has expertise in rehabilitation and home mechanical ventilation with chronic respiratory failure, according to his profile.

Fredericton Chamber of Commerce and UNB Student Union Sign Partnership

The University of New Brunswick Student Union and the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce have signed a 2-year renewable strategic partnership with the purpose of expanding professional networking opportunities for postsecondary students.

Fredericton Chamber of Commerce
(Fredericton) The University of New Brunswick Student Union ("UNBSU") and the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce ("FCC") have signed a 2-year renewable strategic partnership with the purpose of expanding professional networking opportunities for postsecondary students.
"Students and the post-secondary education sector are a critical part of Fredericton's current and future economy," said Krista Ross, Fredericton Chamber CEO. "The sector is one of the primary economic drivers in the community and our students are our future business owners, employees and community leaders. Creating more and deeper connections between post-secondary students, employers and the community while they are in school is key to retaining more students after graduation."
In addition to offering postsecondary students in Fredericton free access to all chamber networking events, such as the monthly Business Over Breakfast and Business After Hours, the partnership will also allow students to register for chamber events, such as State of the City or State of the Province addresses, at member rates through the UNBSU.
"This deal is a key step in further integrating students within the community. Creating better connections between students and the business community is a win-win. It provides our students with direct access to potential employers and community leaders, while also increasing the business community's access to a significant pool of high-skilled talent that will help address the skills gap in our province," said Kordell Walsh, UNBSU President.
The agreement also creates space for UNBSU representatives to sit on two Chamber committees, the Government Affairs Committee and Policy Committee.
"Two of the chamber's key policy priorities are immigration/population growth and workforce development – and as a result, a lot of our advocacy and policy efforts are student-focused," added Ross. "Having the student perspective on matters that affect them is essential and we appreciate the valuable insight that post-secondary student leaders contribute to our organization."
The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce has a similar agreement in replace with the New Brunswick Student Alliance.

Could I please have a little help on some Windows XP / IE8 issue?
I have 2 Windows XP computers. For a long time both have been working fine. Suddenly my tablet PC is acting weird on Facebook and a few other sites like MS Answers and this must all be related to some setting that I changed. It's probably not malware so lets please not go there for now. OK?
For instance, I log in to my Facebook News Feed page on my DELL pc and it works fine. But on my tablet, it just loads the blue line at the top with the logo with icons, Search box, my name, Find Friends & Home v.
But the whole page is just BLANK white except for 2 vertical scribe lines! It does nothing when I click on any of those 3 icons such as Messages or Notifications. And I mean it does NOTHING at all.
If I click on my name, it now displays a horizontal line near the top of the screen with text under it saying "Facebook ?? 2012 ?? English (US)About ?? Advertising ?? Create a Page ?? Developers ?? Careers ?? Privacy ?? Terms ?? Help."
Still the display below is blank and it doesn't say Done or anything anywhere.
If I click Home, it displays a plain white screen with 2 vertical lines on it.
What the heck have I done? I've even tried just leaving my PC sitting with this going on and I had hoped that it was just some insufficient RAM thing or Virtual Memory issue. But .... no luck. Still nothing hours later.
Nothing is wrong with my Facebook since it works fine on my other Win XP machine luckily!
So could someone please jump in and try to help me make this tablet happy?
Have you tried resetting the tablet back to factory defaults?
And reset the Tablets OS?
Now the Reply thing works? Is this also some mess going on at this site's server or maybe it was just in some weird Status deal earlier when this Reply thing wouldn't work and I had so enter my Reply as an Answer which it displayed below where I am Right now?
Can I please have some help on this? Slayer's "Reply" can't be Replied to!
Slayer's "Reply" can't be Replied to and I've been treated this way before for some reason by some folks on this site. But I really do need a bit of help. My PC won't work on Facebook or on Microsoft Answers so I'm stuck in a ditch.
You probably know the gig that's being done here and I've learned it the hard way thru trial & error. Slayer Replies to my question saying "Have you tried resetting the tablet back to factory defaults?
And reset the Tablets OS?"
And then when I try to Reply to Slayer, and I'm already logged in, he has probably removed his Reply after someone probably told him to and so since it is gone I'm sent to a page saying "We???re sorry, but the page you requested could not be found.
with me now logged out!
My Reply to him would have been to say that I've tried lots of stuff and even did a clean install / start over a few months ago and I've just been swamped since then trying to get all of my programs reinstalled, a new max RAM installed and operating and my Docs with all of my Pics Restored plus my remote USB backup drive working. Oh, and then reinstalling my big Outlook PST file with its Notes, Tasks, Contacts and all of its saved Email folders viewable and organized!
I'm sure no IT pro or even an amateur wanna-be. I'm just a person who has always had a strong interest in computer since being introduced to them in grade school in the 1960's. I've even taken programming in college at IUPUI for fortran and cobol back when we were still just using punch cards and waiting overnight for them to "run" our program after we went home!
So I really just want to get this thing working and I'd prefer not to to start over on any or all of it by doing any "resets to factory defaults" stuff if I can avoid it.
I'd really prefer to have someone help me who is very well qualified and is also reasonable and kind and has enough patience to help someone. And I'll even throw in some saddness. I was disabled a few years ago while jumping a Friend's motocross motorcycle on a practice day. I lost my own real estate business at a huge financial loss which we're still hoping to recover from. AND my wife was layed off from a 22+ year job with a property/casualty insurance headquarter's career last year a few years after Bank Of America bought out her company and then decided that they shouldn't be in the insurance industry since it was apparently a "conflict of interest" for them to be doing that for some unknown reason.
So anyway, can I please ask for some personal help on this computer mess that I've found myself in? I really just want to get my Facebook working and my computer happy with its life and then I PROMISE that I'll move on and let this IT group do its thing. Honest .... I WILL go away!
No one is picking on you, or trying to prevent you from replying. The site has been having some issues that has prevented access to some of the functionality. I've had issues across different machines with not having access to Reply, Flag, and some other moderator functions, and also have been getting quite a bit of the page not found messages. So you're not alone!
Have you tried using an alternative browser such as Chrome or Firefox?
I also would not completely discount malware especially if these don't function correctly.
If you have not changed any settings but behaviour of the browsers has changed then something has caused it. I would reccomend downloading spybot search and destroy to scan your system. If there is malware there it removes most infections and at least lets you identify the infection if it cannot remove it completely. I would also recommend running a scan on a regular basis going forwards and to make it an initial diagnostic step in looking at future problems.
Opera browser is good as well.
I agree with John, don't discount malware as the problem. If you're having trouble with IE you could try restoring it to it's default condition. Assuming you have IE 8 or 9 click on tools, Internet Options. On the Advanced tab under Reset Internet Explorer settings click the Reset... button. This should restore factory default settings.
Thanks to all of you, John, Gennadij and SMerrill! I'd really prefer to stick with IE. I've tried Chrome and Firefox before and I had decided that it was too complicated for me to have choices and remember where I did what. So I did uninstall them.
I'll work on this later in my IE but I do think that just yesterday I was trying to figure out what to do and I did click that Reset button and it still has this issue. But right now my tablet is 2/3 done with some Syncback SE sync of My Docs to my Dell **50 and it is taking FOREVER. It's now been 25 hours and it will probably take 12 more since it did the last time I ran it.
I would consider a new tablet or netbook...something newer with a little more power.

Different Types of Frogs
There are a few different types of frogs in Australia.
Below is some information about the different types, what do frogs eat and what is their habitat.
Frog Facts - Green Frogs
Because frogs lose a lot of water through their permeable skin, they need a moist habitat. Most of Australian frog species live therefore in the moist northern and eastern Australia.
Poster by AllPosters. Click on thumbnail to buy
They are most numerous in the Kimberleys, the tope end of Northern Territory, and the Cape York peninsula in far north Queensland. Many species are also found in the south-western WA, and in the south-east of the continent, in the states like New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
Facts about Frogs Habitat
There are a few species, however, that live in the arid inland deserts of Australia. These frogs are the so-called burrowing frogs. When the wet season ends, they burrow theselves deep into the ground (up to 1m), and stay there until the rains come back. They are known to stay underground up to three years if a drought comes along.
Different Types of Frogs in Australia
There are about 230 species of frogs in Australia. Australian frogs belong to six families: Hylidae, Limnodynastidae, Myobatrachidae, Ranidae and Bufonidae.
Different Types of Frogs - Hylidae
Hylidae is by far the largest frog family in Australia. The frogs that belong to this family are the so-called tree frogs, with expanded circular discs on the finger- and toe-tips, which enable them to climb. There are 11 species of Cyclorana frogs which burrow themselves under the ground during the dry season; 68 species of Litoria frogs that cover the whole Australia; and one Nyctimystes species - the 23 relatives of which live in New Guinea.
Different Types of Frogs - Limnodynastidae
This family is exclusive to Australia except one species that is also found in New Guinea. The frogs of this family build a foam nest for their eggs. The different generas include Adelotus (with large heads); Heleioporus (bulky burrowing frogs); Philoria; Lechriodus; Neobatrachus; Notaden; and Platypectrum.
Different Types of Frogs - Microhylidae
Microhylids are the frogs whose larval stages are passed inside the eggs, and there are no free living tadpoles. Almost all Microhylids live on the Cape York peninsula in north Queensland. There are at least two genera: Austrochaperina and Cophixalus.
Different Types of Frogs - Myobatrachidae
This is the only frog family unique to Australia, and there are a few interesting habits within this family. Myobatrachus and Pseudophyrne are known for their ability to burrow head first. Assa frogs are known for the fact that the adult male carries tadpoles in his hip pouches. Crinia frogs are known as "froglets". Pseudophyrne frogs lay their eggs out of water. Metacrinia breeds out of water. Mixophyes push their spawn up from the stream edge onto wet soil. But most interesting of all, Rheobatrachus female swallows the fertilised eggs, broods them in her stomach, and gives birth through her mouth!
Different Types of Frogs - Ranidae
Just like Hylidae, Ranidae family has a global distribution. These are the frogs eaten in restaurants and used for medicines. In Australia, there is only one species of Ranidae - Rana daemeli.

Exotic Frogs - Bufonidae
And finally, Bufonidae - also represented by only one species in Australia - our cane toad Bufo marinus - a poisonous, introduced species that is a pest in Australia.

Alcorn St.-Indiana Preview
Indiana ran into problems in its first test against tougher competition away from home.
Although an even greater challenge looms, it has a chance to regroup against an inferior opponent in its return home.
Two days before facing the defending national champion, the Hoosiers look to drop Alcorn State to 0-6 on Monday night.
Indiana (4-2) arrived in Hawaii for the Maui Invitational having averaged 92.0 points and 56.0 percent shooting in three blowout wins, but had a hard time duplicating that efficiency against better talent. The Hoosiers shot 57.7 percent in an 83-73 win over St. John's, but averaged 73.5 points and 44.6 percent shooting in losses to Wake Forest and UNLV. The defeats dropped Indiana from No. 13 to out of the Top 25 in Monday's poll.
Tom Crean's team had 21 turnovers in Wednesday's 72-69 loss to the Runnin' Rebels and finished the tournament in sixth place. Leading scorer Yogi Ferrell had a season-low nine points and highly touted freshman Thomas Bryant scored a season-worst seven while committing four fouls.
''We're a growing team right now in a lot of ways,'' Crean said. ''The most important thing that we could grow into is understanding where our responsibilities lie as individuals and improvement, and as a team for how we can be collectively better.
''This is a great tournament to learn about that in. A great tournament. No question disappointed with a loss, but we've got to turn this into some positives.''
One positive for the Hoosiers, who visit No. 7 Duke on Wednesday, is that they've remained proficient from 3-point range despite the recent shooting struggles. They made 11 of 20 from beyond the arc against UNLV and are among the nation's leaders in 3-point shooting (42.7 percent) and 3s made (64).
James Blackmon Jr., second on the team with 14.3 points per game, is 17 of 38 from beyond the arc while reserve guard Nick Zeisloft has made 17 of 28 3s.
The perimeter game creates all sorts of problems for Alcorn State, which is allowing opponents to shoot 43.9 percent from 3-point range for one of the nation's worst marks. The Braves are one of the worst defensive teams overall, allowing 84.2 points and 51.0 percent shooting per game.
History is also not on Alcorn State's side, as it's been outscored by an average of 40.6 points in losing all 11 games against Top 25 teams since 2002-03. It has also lost 99 consecutive nonconference road contests.
The Hoosiers have had little trouble defending their home court, winning 51 of 52 there against nonconference opponents.
Alcorn State is coming off Saturday's 73-71 loss to Florida A&M in the Corpus Christi Coastal Classic, with the Rattlers' Malcolm Bernard scoring the winning basket just before the final buzzer. The Braves had been outscored by an average of 30.0 points in their first four games with the closest margin being 22.
Devonte Hampton, DeAndre Davis and Reginald Johnson each scored 14 for Alcorn State, which was again hurt by an inability to convert from deep, going 3 of 19 on 3-pointers.
The Braves are one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the nation at 26.0 percent.
In the only meeting between these programs, Indiana won 73-69 in the quarterfinals of the 1979 NIT.

Delhi nursery admission 2022-23: Registration begins from 15 Dec, check important dates and other details
CBSE 18 December 2021	 Hits: 36
The registration process for admissions into nursery classes for the 2022-23 academic session will begin in the private, unaided and recognised schools in the national capital from Wednesday (December 15, 2021). While most of the schools are selling admission forms online, the same can also be purchased directly from the school premises for the convenience of parents.
According to a notification issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE) last month, the process of nursery admissions will begin from today (December 15, 2021) in nearly 1,800 private schools across the national capital. The application window is scheduled to close on January 7.
The admission to entry-level classes for the previous academic session began in February this year after a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this year, the schedule is in line with previous years.
DoE notification for admission
The DoE had last month notified the admission schedule. As per the notified schedule, the first list of selected children will be put up on February 4, followed by a second list on February 21 and a subsequent list for admission, if any, on March 15. The entire admission process will conclude on March 31.
Criterion for nursery admission
The DoE has asked the schools to notify their number of seats and the admission criteria by Tuesday. The DoE has directed that the number of seats at the entry levels shall not be less than the highest number of seats in entry-level classes during the last three years-- 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22.
"Schools shall develop and adopt criteria for admission which shall be fair, reasonable, well defined, equitable, non-discriminatory, unambiguous and transparent,'' the DoE said.
"No school shall adopt a criterion abolished by the department including charging a capitation fees or donations. Pre-schools or montessori schools run by registered societies or Trusts as branches of recognised unaided schools will have to follow single admission process for their pre-school and main school considering them as one institution," the DoE official said.
Monitoring of admission process
A monitoring cell is being constituted in each district under the chairmanship of the deputy director concerned, who shall ensure that each private school uploads the criteria and their points on the online module and further, ensure that the school shall not adopt those criteria which were abolished by the department and upheld by the Delhi High Court.
"No deviation from the above schedule shall be permitted. Each school shall display the aforesaid admission schedule on its notice board and website. Further, each school shall ensure that application forms for admission are made available to all applicants till the last date of submission. A non-refundable amount of only Rs 25 can be charged as admission registration fee. The purchase of prospectus of the school by the parents shall be optional," a senior DoE official said.
While the DoE had given the schools autonomy to decide their own criteria for admission, and upload them on DoE's website by December 14, it has restricted schools not to ask information such as parents' education, profession, income, food habits, and written or oral interviews of both students and parents —abolished by the Delhi government in 2016.
Delhi nursery admission 2022-23: Important Dates
December 14: Schools to upload criteria on the website
December 15: Forms to be released on school websites, registration process begins
January 7: Last date of submission of forms
January 28: Schools will upload marks given to each candidate on their website.
