Los Angeles County officials are looking to donate a specialized beach-cleaning machine to BP's Gulf Coast clean-up effort in exchange for a new machine next month.
The Department of Beaches and Harbors will work with legal counsel to get permission to donate its Beach Tech 2000, a $50,000 machine that can comb about 20,000 square meters of sand per hour.
BP has ordered several of the machines, but they won't be ready for several weeks, county officials said. To speed clean-up efforts, the oil company is asking those who already own machines to donate them in exchange for a new machine – including taxes and delivery – in October.
The county's current machine, purchased with county and state money, is about three years old, officials said.

Tea anyone? At Mariage Frères this simple question can cause a minor panic attack. In this famous chic, yet relaxed, Paris teahouse on rue du Bourg-Tibourg, founded back in 1854, the tea menu contains over 500 high quality teas. Unless you know what you want, you should ask for the special booklet that explains all the different teas to you (available both in English and French) - but going through the booklet would probably take ages. Much better option is to rely on the recommendations of kind fellow foodbloggers. Before going to Paris, I had read several foodblogs for good insider tips, and these surely became handy in moments like this. I went for Thé à L'Opéra - vanilla green tea with sweet spices and red fruits - endorsed by Michèle of Oswego Tea. I definitely discovered that, as far as teas go, Michèle is a trustworthy source :-) It was a delicate, fragrant and very pleasing choice.
I also shared a cake with my date K. - a lively green dome-shaped 'Mont Fuji' cake. Green matcha tea crust on top of cream and chocolate ganache and with some sour cherries in a dark chocolate case, decorated with candied chestnuts. Very rich and oh-so-tasty.
I love their teas too. Can't wait to go to Paris to try them in their teahouse!
500 different types of teas, that would be enough to give me an aneurism!
And that fuji cake, that looks huge, did you finish it all?
Sounds like a really great place.
Too pretty to attack with a spoon!
And I think a selection of 500 or more teas would cause me to fall into a conniption. I have enough trouble with the hot chocolate at Plaisir . . .
Sounds like the trip was just lovely.
I love Mariage Freres teas so much. They offer so many different teas!
That cake looks good, even if the name sounds a bit kitch!
Pille, somehow I missed this one, but Im very glad to hear that you liked The a L'Opera! It still remains one of my favourites although I must admit my list of favourites has become exceedingly long by now. But Im thrilled that you liked it too!
K&S - same here! I didn't buy any to take home with me this time, so I must go back asap.
Pamela - the cake was truly delicious indeed. I really liked the contrast of crunchy dark chocolate case and slightly bitter macha topping.
Bea - did you stop by this time?
Amyjames - I know, it was quite difficult to choose:) I usually end up ordering the same old chocolate espresso at Plaisir!
Jasmine - I'm pretty pleased with the way the green colour turned up on the photo myself:) There was a skylight just above our table, which must have helped to capture the greenness well.
Fanny - the choice of teas was impressive indeed, and the cake was great!


I am a PhD student in Christian Holm's group, working on lattice Boltzmann simulations of cooperative behavior of active particles, under the supervision of Joost de Graaf.
For this thesis, waLBerla, a highly-scalable grid framework for applications such as lattice-Boltzmann and solving partial differential equations, was extended so that it can be used for simulating the electrokinetics of active colloids.
For this thesis, the MMM1D algorithm was ported to GPGPU. This resulted in a 40-fold performance increase over the previous implementation in ESPResSo and now allows for Molecular Dynamics simulations with electrostatic interactions in 1D-periodic geometries with several thousand particles.
Using this, simulations with various simple DNA models were performed. These simulations show that charge discretization and phase shifts between DNA molecules, modeled as rods, have a significant influence on their attractive properties, an effect that previous works disregarded as it was computationally too expensive, even though it turns out to be too large to neglect for realistic results. Curling up the discretely charged rods into helices, thus making the most accurate model of DNA that could be simulated with the limits of time and resources for this thesis, reveals further geometry dependencies and again a strong influence of a phase shift between the two helices. For phase shifts of 180°, the results for the continuous rods are mostly recovered for large Bjerrum lengths, but for any other phase shift, the forces are weaker, albeit still attractive.

Is Thomas Markle right to claim that his daughter and Harry have "cheapened" the royal family?

Rachel Riley 'burst into tears' when she saw the public rejected Jeremy Corbyn
The TV presenter said she was extremely grateful that the public rejected anti-Semitism and bigotry.
Rachel Riley, a TV presenter and prominent anti-Semitism campaigner, spoke to Nick Ferrari.
She argued that Labour "prides itself on its anti-racist badge and if you can't rely on that party, then that's the problem the country faces."
Riley spoke about her experiences of anti-Semitism and accused John McDonnell of propping these people up.
Nick Ferrari asked: "Do you think, the anti-Semitism issue is obviously going to play in a city such as London or in Manchester or in parts of Glasgow where there are high number Jewish people, do you think actually it has played right across the country where people don't even know any Jewish people?"
Rachel Riley 'burst into tears' when she saw the public rejected Jeremy Corbyn. Picture: PA
Riley responded: "It has.
"Yesterday when I saw the first exit poll, I'll be perfectly honest. I burst into floods tears and I couldn't control the emotion because it's been the hardest year.
"I think I speak them for a large number of Jews when I say it's just tearing people apart.
She also spoke about how the anti-Semitism issue is coming up on the doorstep.
She explained: "A lot of the way we've been fighting is by using Twitter to expose things that have been happening and Twitter eat largely skewed. So to actually see that the general public, Britain, rejects terrorists supporters, it rejects anti semitism, it rejects bigotry.
"It's all the things that, as a Brit, I'm proud of my country for.
"We reject this kind of stuff and to actually see it in practice... I mean, I think it's a sorry state of affairs that I think this is a very unpopular government for a large number of people and they didn't have a credible opposition, so I don't it's anything to celebrate."

A Lakewood city councilman was arrested and booked into jail last month for allegedly violating a protection order that his wife filed against him.
According to a police report, Dayton "Pad" Finnigan, 66, allegedly violated the order Nov. 27 at the Lakewood post office off 100th Street Southwest. His wife, Christine Finnigan, had filed the temporary protection order against him four days earlier.
It restricts her husband "from coming near and from having any contact whatsoever" with her. On Monday, the court is scheduled to decide whether it should be extended.
After his arrest last month, Pad Finnigan was booked into the Pierce County Jail without incident and later released.

Before you embark on your journey through driving lessons to a full, pink driving licence, you'll probably want to know what each section of your driving licence means. The UK's photocard provisional and full driving licences are very similar in terms of the information they hold.
Did you know: Midrive learners are 38% more likely to pass first time!
Your title, first name and any middle names.
Your date of birth and place of birth.
The date from which your provisional driving licence is valid.
The date at which your driving licence is valid to. If you reach this date without having passed your test, you will need to renew your provisional licence using an up to date photo.
The issuing authority of your driving licence. On your UK licence, this will be the DVLA.
Your licence number. This will be a unique number to you, and is comprised of the beginning letters of your surname and a sequence of numbers and letters.
Your address. You must ensure that this is your correct home address, and, in the event that you move, you must send your licence back to the DVLA to have it altered.
The category of vehicle(s) you are permitted to drive. Cross reference these letters with the codes in section 9 on the back of your licence.
This section differs slightly between provisional and full driving licences. A provisional driving licence will display each licence category, but will show start and expiry dates (in sections 10 and 11) only for the vehicles that you are permitted to drive.
A full UK driving licence, on the other hand, will display only the codes and dates for the vehicle types that you are qualified to drive.
The code B, for example, on both a provisional and full driving licence indicates that you are permitted to drive a car, with or without supervision and L plates, depending on which licence you hold.
This section shows any restrictions to you driving the vehicle category shown. The code 01, for example, means you must wear glasses or contact lenses as a corrective eyesight measure whilst driving.
You can find the full list of codes on Gov.uk.
It's vital that you keep the paper counterpart section of your driving licence safe. The paper counterpart will list your name, address and a digital copy of your signature. It will also show which categories you are permitted to drive as a learner and whether you have any penalty points or disqualifications.
Remember: You can still get penalty points on your provisional licence as a learner driver!
At the bottom of the paper counterpart licence there will be a section for you to fill in and send to the DVLA if you need to change your address.

I want you to know that my intention was not to hurt you, but rather to show you that you can't just go around messing with people's hearts like that.
If you've read any of my articles before, then there's a good chance the thought of me being a relationship guru has crossed your mind.
I've even been dubbed the 'Taylor Swift' of Odyssey articles, and while this seemed badass at first, that's not who I want to be anymore.
Sure, writing articles exposing the things guys have done to you and your friends sounds about as messy as the pizza Julia Roberts ate at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in 'Eat Pray Love,' but I chose to do it anyway. Every time I wrote one of these so-called pieces, I knew there was a possibility the guy might read it, but I ignored the initial fear and published it anyway.
And I just kept on doing it.
Granted, I never name-dropped any of these guys, and the reason I wrote these articles was because I didn't want the same thing that had happened to me to happen to another girl. Of course, there was also that feeling of sweet revenge, but it's only normal when your heart has been messed with so many times.
Another thing you have to understand is the pressure I was under.
When your articles go viral, suddenly everyone at Odyssey knows who you are, and you feel like your next article has to be better than the last one. This wasn't always a bad thing, I certainly put out some great pieces and my editors were nothing but supportive, but at the same time, there were some weeks where my heart just wasn't 100% into it.
I knew I had to put out great content, and for the sake of this, I remember when I took one particular experience and turned it into a piece that left my friends in shock. The article was inspired by a series of events at a party one night, and I decided to exaggerate some of the things that had happened, mostly because I thought it'd be hilarious. I can solemnly say that my intentions were not to hurt anyone, but rather to close the chapter on a love story I just knew was never going to happen.
If you choose to put any of your personal life out there online, just be prepared for the consequences.
I've been confronted by guys within 24 hours of an article being published, and for that, all I can say is ladies, stand your ground and don't let anyone walk all over you. You know exactly why you wrote that article and you shouldn't have to explain yourself for it.
Keeping that in mind, I will also say that you should never publish something that you don't feel comfortable sharing.
When experiences are fresh in your mind, it is tempting to put that person on full blast and share everything. I don't regret publishing any of my articles because they were like therapy for me, and I learned a lot about myself in the process, but just remember it's completely your choice.
I learned about what I wanted and what I didn't want out of love. I spent so much of my college career worrying about guys that didn't even matter and that just isn't the type of woman I am anymore. I'm done looking for love, as I've been told you'll always find it when you're least expecting it.
For all the guys I've written articles about, I want you to know that my intention was not to hurt you, but rather to show you that you can't just go around messing with people's hearts like that.
From the bottom of my heart, I hope you find someone who speaks your language so you don't have to spend a lifetime translating your spirit. I never understood your language, anyway.

Ryan Reynolds Shares A Touching Tribute To Betty White After Her Death
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty
By Kim Bell/Dec. 31, 2021 5:38 pm EST
"Red Notice" and "Deadpool" star and all-around comedic gem Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter today in the wake of his friend and former co-star Betty White's death. Reynolds and White worked together on the 2009 romantic comedy "The Proposal," starring Sandra Bullock and directed by Anne Fletcher ("27 Dresses," "Hot Pursuit"). Since then, the two have become quite the dynamic duo, with White joking that Reynolds "can't get over his thing for (her)," but that, unfortunately for him, "Robert Redford is The One" (via Today). For his part, Reynolds has ironically lashed back at the media for "exploiting past relationships" (aka, his unrequited love for White) "just to drive clicks" (via Twitter). Reynolds and White also starred together in a now iconic promotional video for "The Proposal" wherein White repeatedly verbally abuses Reynolds (confusing him for an assistant and calling him a litany of names, none of which are Ryan) while calling Bullock "America's sweetheart" (via YouTube).
Reynolds' and White's approaches to humor have a lot in common, so it's easy to see why the two hit it off and never looked back. Today, Reynolds shared a touching tribute to White, and (fittingly) managed to squeeze a tiny bit of humor into that as well.
Ryan Reynolds' Twitter tribute was both heartfelt and funny
Ryan Reynolds shared a photo of Betty White giving two very enthusiastic thumbs up (in front of a cut-out of his "Deadpool" character), under a caption that read, "The world looks different now. She was great at defying expectation" (via Twitter). In the video from which the image was taken, White is aggressively promoting the film, calling it "glorious" and saying "Ryan Reynolds looks so ******* handsome in his red leather suit... I give it four Golden Girls. It's the best picture of the year" (via YouTube).
It's rare for the actor to share a tweet devoid of any hint of his characteristic, tongue-in-cheek playfulness, and his apt and touching toast to White was no exception. "She managed to grow very old," he wrote, before seamlessly shifting tone again — "and somehow, not old enough." At the time of her death, the legendary "Golden Girls" and "Hot in Cleveland" star was just weeks away from celebrating her 100th birthday. Reynolds capped off his short but undeniably sweet tribute by adding, "We'll miss you, Betty. Now you know the secret." Not unlike White, Reynolds' tweet was equal parts earnest and funny, and all the more touching as a result.


The skills you learned on the target shooting range or in your CCW class may not work for you when the fight happens within arms' reach. Extreme close range gunfighting is a completely different skill set, one that relies far more on FIGHTING than on mere shooting.
- and numerous other techniques!
This is not the class for a beginning shooter! Proper gun handling skills and evidence of prior training is a prerequisite for the course. Prior training in a combative martial art or police defensive tactics class will be useful, but not required. The class will be somewhat physically demanding, so please show up expecting to work hard.

NGC 5545 est une galaxie spirale située dans la constellation du Bouvier à environ  d'années-lumière de la Voie lactée. NGC 5545 a été découverte par l'astronome britannique John Herschel en 1827.

La classe de luminosité de NGC 5545 est II-III et elle présente une large raie HI.

Le couple de galaxies en interaction gravitationnelle constitué de NGC 5544 et de NGC 5545 figure dans l'atlas des galaxies particulières de Halton Arp sous la cote Arp 117. Arp mentionne que les bras de la galaxie spirale (NGC 5545) sont perturbés.

À ce jour, cinq mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est à l'intérieur des distances calculées en employant la valeur du décalage.

Groupe de NGC 5557
Selon Abraham Mahtessian, NGC 5545 fait partie du groupe de NGC 5557, la galaxie la plus brillante de ce groupe. Ce groupe de galaxies compte au moins sept membres. Les six autres galaxies du groupe sont NGC 5529, NGC 5544, NGC 5557, NGC 5589, NGC 5590 et NGC 5596.

A. M. Garcia mentionne aussi ce groupe, mais la galaxie NGC 5529 ne figure pas dans sa liste alors que les six autres y sont.

"Your Name" by Mikoto Shinkai, CC BY-ND0 2.0, via flickr
Genre: romance, fantasy
If you can't fully commit to watching a series just yet, how about a movie? Your Name is the best movie that'll be perfect for starters. Directed by the talented Makoto Shinkai, visually stunning, smooth animation, god-tier music, it has definitely earned its spot as the 3rd highest-grossing anime film. Mitsuha, a girl from the countryside longs for a life in the big city, and Taki who lives in the big city have been connected by a supernatural phenomenon that allows them to switch bodies.
3. Violet Evergarden
"Violet Evergarden" by Kana Akatsuki
Violet Evergarden, Episode 3, 2018, Kyoto Animation
Genre: slice of life, drama, fantasy
Amazing animation, stunning visuals, heartfelt music, Violet Evergarden has it all. Produced by one of the most respected anime studios, Kyoto Animation, any anime fan just knows that they're in for a treat. A tear-jerking slice of life filled with episodes to keep your chest tight, your heart heavy, and your eyes watery. On the final battle of a 4-year long war, the emotionless Violet who has been used as a ruthless killing machine against enemy forces is about to fight her last battle. As the battle reached its end, she was left with unfamiliar words from her beloved superior. After the war was over, Violet then got a job as an Auto Memory Doll, typists who adapt themselves to write for their clients based on the information given and their emotions. Though she was clueless at first, she then got more familiar with how human emotions work as she translates people's emotions into a letter to better understand those unfamiliar words and the human heart.
4. Erased
"Erased" by Kei Sanbe

Genre: mystery, thriller, science fiction
Mysteries to unsolve to get you hooked to your screen, puzzling events to get you scratching your head. If that's your fuel for entertainment then Erased is your go-to for a binge-watch. In the year 2003, Satoru Fujinuma, a 29-year-old introverted manga artist, has been gifted a mysterious power to travel back in time several minutes before an incident happens.

5. Attack On Titan
"Attack On Titan" by Hajime Isayama
"Attack On Titan", CC BY 2.0, via flickr
Genre: dark fantasy, action, horror
One of the most impactful anime in the past couple of years, Attack on Titan made a name for itself. The first season adapted way back in 2013, which is still ongoing with a highly anticipated season 4 part 2 that comes out in December. But for now, we have four seasons, which I kid you not, if you take some time to watch it, you'll be able to binge-watch the whole series easily. It's just that good, all those things people say about this anime are not exaggerated at all.
Centuries ago, humanity was driven to the brink of extinction by man-eating creatures called "Titans" which caused humans to build walls to isolate themselves and keep them safe. Though it has kept them safe from danger for 100 years, that came to an end when a colossal titan taller than the walls smashed through the said impenetrable walls, allowing hundreds of titans to invade the human village.
During the incident, a young Eren Yeager witnessed a traumatic loss caused by the titans, which fueled his anger. Driven by rage, Eren Yeager has vowed to get revenge for his mother by killing all the titans.
6. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
"Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" by Hajime Kamoshida
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, Episode 2, 2018, CloverWorks
Genre: romance, supernatural, comedy
Now I know what you're thinking. Judging by the cover, you can mistake this for a pervy, ecchi anime. Though it does have a certain amount of those two elements, That's where we were all wrong. It is in fact a cozy, beautiful, emotional slice of life. A blessing from 2018, interesting characters, and an overall good story. Sakuta Azusagawa, the calm and collected 17-year-old, has witnessed and experienced firsthand a mythical disease called the Puberty Syndrome, a supernatural phenomenon that affects only the youth. One of the victims is Mai Sakurajima, the beautiful level-headed upperclassmen. Because of her career as an actress, she was often absent from school. Once she came back, with no friends to talk with and regarding her celebrity status, many were intimidated and deemed her unapproachable. As this went on, the Puberty Syndrome was triggered causing her existence to be forgotten by the people around her. As Sakuta helps Mai with her problem, he gets a better understanding as he then meets more people with the same issue.
Evasive happiness
By Aarti Nair


Winston-Salem, NC-June 5, 2017 – NSA Holdings, Inc. announced that it had completed the sale of certain assets in the winding down of the company formerly known as North State Aviation. The company went through a bid process to liquidate its inventory, tooling and equipment after it announced its closing in late March 2017. Gary Smith, North State President and CEO said: "We are happy to report that the assets of North State have been purchased by members of the former management team. North State Aviation Holdings LLC, a newly created entity, was the successful bidder and had the full support of the Airport Commission of Forsyth County".
Charlie Creech, President of North State Aviation Holdings LLC said; "Our acquisition of the assets represents a strategic opportunity for the new North State to offer maintenance, repair and overhaul services to the aviation industry. Airport Commission Chairman Scott Piper and the members of the Airport Commission of Forsyth County were instrumental in helping us get to this point". Scott Piper said; "We are all excited about the future of aviation in Winston-Salem and look forward to airplanes and employees once again occupying 4001 North Liberty Street".
The ATP/NATA General Aviation Service Technician Award (sponsored by Aircraft Technical Publishers) acknowledges the exceptional performance of a licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic or radio repairman who has practiced his or her craft for a period of 20 or more years. NATA will present this year's award to Mr. Mark E. Jensen, Director of Maintenance and Managing Partner at Bakersfield Jet Center by Loyd's Aviation, for his 47 years of providing the highest quality of general aviation maintenance service. Trusted by his customers and a mentor to new hires — Jensen is known for finding simple solutions to complicated problems.
NATA's FAA Service Excellence Award goes to the Phoenix TRACON as an FAA facility that demonstrates the highest degree of professionalism to aviation businesses. In 2015, the Phoenix TRACON successfully managed flights during Super Bowl 49™, an event that featured increased traffic to the Phoenix metro area in a period also challenged by unusual weather. Recognizing the need to implement an air traffic management system during the busy weekend, the facility combined efforts with local industry stakeholders and customers to streamline the influx of 1,200 additional aircraft in the area — executing arrivals and departures without any delays.
"So many talented and dedicated individuals and teams have contributed to the success of NATA and the industry over the 75-year history of the association. This year's honorees exemplify the wide range of aviation business professionals worthy of recognition and celebration in our Anniversary year," stated NATA President and CEO Thomas L. Hendricks.

North State Aviation LLC celebrated its fourth anniversary Thursday, opening the event by showing the TV clip from the end of the U.S. hockey team's semifinal victory over the Soviet Union.
Charlie Creech, the company's president, told his workforce of 383 and other members of the audience, which included civic and elected, why he chose the clip.
"I like to believe we have many of the same qualities here. I can guarantee you one thing. We have an owner and a head coach (Al Bodford) that is second to none.
The top executives at North State Aviation LLC have strived to embrace their maintenance heritage, particularly Piedmont Airlines, while distancing themselves from the now-defunct Pace Airlines, whose production space they occupy at Smith Reynolds Airport.
The main element of the North State celebration was reaching the 400 threshold in aircraft renovation projects, including more than 300 with its main customer, United Airlines. The main project to date has been installing a satellite-based system on 160 of United's Boeing 737-700, 800 and 900 series aircraft.
Gaining United's confidence was pivotal to North State's existence.
Pace had a similar maintenance contract with Continental Airlines until shortly before collapsing in September 2009, costing 423 employees their jobs, including about 300 locally.
Creech and Russell Kota, North State's vice president of maintenance, were members of Pace's management team when it was owned by the estate of Bob Brooks, chairman of Hooters of America Inc.
They were replaced when William Rodgers Sr. bought the company from the Brooks estate in May 2009.
North State didn't directly emerge like a phoenix from Pace's ashes. But the Pace experience left airport and civic officials leery of putting faith that soon into another maintenance company.
Creech joked that in the first conversation he had with Smith Reynolds officials, including executive director Mark Davidson, they asked if North State intended to pay or not pay their rent.
"When we said 'pay rent,' things moved forward," Creech said.
The company pledged in January 2011 it would have at least 308 employees within four years when it was made eligible for $300,000 in performance-based state incentives. It had 28 employees at that time and occupied 80,000 square feet on a monthly basis.
As North State demonstrated its ability to provide quality renovation work to United, the airline expanded its contract to where it represents six production lines.
"They have earned those lines through providing quality work at an effective cost," said Manny Naeem, United's vice president for technical planning, supply chain and outsourcing maintenance.
Creech said North State's workforce consists of 365 full and 18 part-time employees, of which more than 100 are military veterans. He said 25 of the 28 employees at startup remain with the company.
U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., praised North State as an example of a company recognizing an opportunity and seizing it through hard work, innovation and seeking assistance in terms of skill training for good-paying jobs.
Davidson said the airport's master plan is to add another hanger, in part to give North State more expansion space. He said North State's success has contributed to the airport commission being able to afford the on-going construction of Runway 4-22.
"The commission now has the local match required for the $2.6 million dollar project," Davidson said.
"Four years ago, the commission could not have not made the financial commitment to the state Transportation Department and Federal Aviation Administration due to the unforeseen future and lack of cash on hand.
Potentially dangerous traffic with two runways, military and emergency relief, millions in infrastructure investments and designation as a national asset were among the reasons cited by officials in their appeal to keep Smith Reynolds Airport's tower open.
Officials made Wednesday's deadline to appeal the Federal Aviation Administration's decision to close the air traffic control tower because of budget cuts from the federal sequester.
"It's important to us that we do everything we can to make sure that the tower remains in operation at Smith Reynolds, and that's what we're going to do," said Thomas McKim, the chairman of the Airport Commission of Forsyth County.
The airport commission made its case for the tower to remain open in a seven-page letter signed by McKim and Airport Director Mark Davidson to the FAA.
They gave several other reasons that the airport should have a tower, including potentially challenging and dangerous traffic operations because of two runways. They cited military and emergency relief activity at the airport, and substantial investment by the FAA, including millions of dollars for a runway safety area project.
The FAA plans to close more than 170 contract towers throughout the country as part of its plans to reduce costs by about $600 million for the remainder of 2013. The airport towers are scheduled to close April 7. The agency will finalize its closings list by Monday.
Smith Reynolds' tower is operated by five contract employees who would lose their jobs if it closes.
McKim said there should be proportionate reductions across the board in all programs for agencies that are being asked to reduce expenditures as part of the sequester process.
Late Wednesday, a bipartisan group of senators introduced an amendment to the Senate Continuing Resolution aimed at protecting the contract tower program.
"I am strongly opposed to the FAA's plan to target air traffic control towers across the country, including the towers included in the Contract Tower Program," said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan, a sponsor of the amendment.
The Airport Commission of Forsyth County's appeal has 14 letters of support, including statements from Mayor Allen Joines, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, the Piedmont Triad Partnership, Piedmont Flight Training, Rockingham County Airport Authority, pilots and the manager of the tower at Smith Reynolds.
"Closing the tower at Smith Reynolds could jeopardize aviation safety and efficiency and will definitely have a negative economic impact because of its effect on our two large growing aircraft maintenance companies in Winston-Salem," Joines said in his letter.
The landing of a multiyear maintenance contract with United Airlines is giving new air to NS Aviation LLC's ambitious growth plans.
NS Aviation said Thursday that it expects to add at least 40 full-time employees by year's end to work on the United business, bolstering its workforce at Smith Reynolds Airport to about 150.
NS Aviation does business as North State Aviation. It operates on a monthly lease for 80,000 square feet, including 50,000 in hangar space, at 4001 N. Liberty St.
The company is already providing two lines of maintenance and retrofit work on United's Boeing 737-900 fleet, with each line having about 45 to 50 dedicated employees. The new contract could eventually double the number of lines NS Aviation dedicates to United maintenance and retrofitting work.
The company said it will need additional hangar and mechanic shop space to handle the expanded contract, offering a revenue boost to the airport.
NS Aviation had 31 employees when it announced in January 2011, with Gov. Bev Perdue's assistance, that it would have 308 employees within four years as part of the expansion.
The company pledged the jobs will pay an average wage of $42,072 — $80 more than the average in Forsyth County. It would spend nearly $1.3 million on capital investments.
In return, the state made the company eligible for a $300,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. It will also benefit from a $500,000 grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation to the Airport Commission of Forsyth County for airport infrastructure improvements.
When NS Aviation made its expansion announcement, management acknowledged that gaining confidence in their business operations and finances will be crucial to attracting customers, employees and community support.
Since then, NS Aviation has kept a low profile while picking up business from about a dozen companies that include Miami Air and Arik Air.
"Our growth has been sparked by the significant increase we've experienced in our customer base," said Charlie Creech, president of North State.
Mark Davidson, director of Smith Reynolds Airport, said he is "elated" that NS Aviation was able to land a major contract. He said the airport commission is negotiating with NS Aviation for a longer-term lease in part because of the United contract.
"They had developed a niche providing maintenance on large aircraft for charter airlines to stay operational," he said.
Gayle Anderson, chief executive and president of the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, said she recognized it would take time for NS Aviation to expand once it laid the groundwork for its operations.
"It's good news for the community that its work is paying off," Anderson said.


Every patient treated with a pressured metered dose inhaler (pMDI) should own and regularly use a spacer/valved holding chamber (VHC) concludes a new review.
They should know how to use the device properly, both for routine preventer therapy and in an emergency, how to keep it clean and keep an eye out for faults, says the paper by the ADMIT group (Aerosol Drug Management Improvement Team).
The authors, which include Dr Mark Levy, GP and clinical lead of the National Review of Asthma Deaths and Jane Scullion, respiratory nurse consultant and former PCRS-UK trustee, say that extensive studies have shown that when emergency administration of a bronchodilator is indicated for an acute exacerbation of COPD or asthma, the use of a pMDI with a spacer/VHC is at least as effective and safe as nebulised therapy. It may also reduce emergency room waiting times and systemic unwanted effects of bronchodilator therapy.
Compared with nebulised therapy, a pMDI is also cheaper, more convenient, portable and relatively maintenance free.
They point out that despite recommendations in national and international guidelines that pMDIs should be used with a spacer/VHC, they appear to be underused.
The paper, published in ERS Open Research, provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of spacers/VHCs, describes the situations in which a spacer/VHC is most likely to be indicated, and address issues such as correct handling, priming and maintenance. It also sets out 10 practical recommendations on how patients should be taught to use a spacer/VHC properly.
The authors advise that healthcare professionals should ensure they are competent to teach patients how to use and maintain their inhalers properly.
Duncan Keeley, PCRS Policy Lead says: "This is a very important paper. Asthma treatment delivered by pMDI and a spacer has the enormous advantage of remaining effective even in moderately severe attacks. Using a spacer with an pMDI largely overcomes the problems that people have with using inhalers of this type.

Q: Loki JS doesn't persist data in Ionic I'm using LokiJS to save in local storage (well, I'm trying) .
What I want to do is a ToDo app, my controller is as follows:
.controller('Dash', function($scope) {

    var db = new loki('loki.json');
    $scope.name="";
    $scope.lname="";

    var users=db.getCollection('users');

    if (users==null) {
      $scope.message="It's null";
      var users = db.addCollection('users');
    }else{
      $scope.message="It's ready";
    }

    $scope.insert=function(namesI, lnameI){
      users.insert({
        name: namesI,
        lname:lnameI
       });

   }

The issue is that everytime that I test it, the message is "It's null". Although before already I have inserted data. I mean, everytime I launch the app, the database is created.
How I can persist the data?
*I'm not using any cordova plugin.

A: You are not providing a loadHandler function, so you are trying to access collections before Loki is finished loading the json file. Look at this example for a clarification on how to use the autoLoadHandler.
Also bear in mind that at some stage you need to call db.saveDatabase() to persist, or else you need to provide an autoSaveInterval value when instantiating Loki.

Veterinary surgeons: temporary changes to the retail supply of veterinary medicines
Relaxation of enforcement during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Veterinary Medicines Directorate
31 July 2020 — See all updates
In light of the enhanced precautions on social distancing we must take as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has relaxed the enforcement of specific provisions of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations (VMR) to allow veterinary surgeons to delegate the retail supply of veterinary medicines to internet retailers or wholesale dealers for home delivery to the end user.
This decision has immediate effect and will last until 31 August and then cease.
The VMD will not issue an improvement notice if there are breaches of the relevant provisions of paragraph 8 of Schedule 3 of the VMR during this period. For further information read the statement from the VMD (PDF, 165KB, 2 pages).
This is a temporary VMD enforcement policy in relation to specific obligations under the VMR only. The VMR continue to apply. The VMD may continue to take action to enforce those obligations in cases where the procedures described in the statement are not followed.
These changes do not affect the existing provisions that allow a veterinary surgeon in exceptional circumstances, for example for animal welfare reasons, to instruct a Wholesale Dealer Authorisation holder to deliver medicines to the client's premises.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) have issued guidance for veterinary professionals on how to continue to undertake veterinary work.

Q: In a big Java project can not locate .java file belonging to a package using eclipse I'm new to java with a C++ background. I'm using Eclipse and have imported projects created by maven using "mvn eclipse:eclipse". In eclipse, when I highlight a class name from another class and do "Open Declaration", eclipse would normally open the corresponding .java file.
However, for one of the classes, eclipse "Open Declaration" opens up a .class file which shows all the context of the file. However, this file is not editable. Furthermore, I can't locate the actual .java file behind it. There is a package line in the beginning of the .class file and it points to a directory that doesn't seem exist. I believe there is a way to trace back to the original .java file from the .class file but I'm not sure how to do this. Please help.

A: The class is likely in one of your dependency jars, so you don't have the source locally in a project.  Many maven published projects allow for the source to be downloaded in a jar, and eclipse can use that to display the source, but editing it would be meaningless in that instance.
If you hit ctrl+shift+T and search for the class you should be able to see the location of the class in the bottom portion of the "open type" dialog.
In the eclipse "properties" for the jar that contains the class, you should be able to set the "Java Source Attachment" to the folder on your system that contains the source (if you have it)

Q: Make those functions ie9 compatible I tried those functions in ie9 ( well ie10 set as ie9 emulation ).
in those functions "doc" is a svg document root element.
addSvgTransform
  /**
   * Add a <g> element that envelop all SCG elements and makes the viewbox transformMatrix descend on all elements
   */
  function addSvgTransform(doc, matrix) {
    matrix[3] = matrix[0] = (matrix[0] > matrix[3] ? matrix[3] : matrix[0]);
    if (!(matrix[0] !== 1 || matrix[3] !== 1 || matrix[4] !== 0 || matrix[5] !== 0)) return;
    // default is to preserve aspect ratio
    // preserveAspectRatio attribute to be implemented
    var el = document.createElement('g');
    while (doc.firstChild != null) {
      var node = doc.firstChild;
      el.appendChild(node);
    }
    el.setAttribute('transform','matrix(' + matrix[0] + ' ' + matrix[1] + ' ' + matrix[2] + ' ' + matrix[3] + ' ' + matrix[4] + ' ' + matrix[5] + ')');
    doc.appendChild(el);
  }

Failing point:
el is a document.element.
ie9 doesn't wan't to append to this kind of node any other node from our SVG and it doesn't want to do the contrary , appending this node to the Svg doc directly.
our doc variable doesn't have a createElement method.
Purpouse of this function is to add a 'G' element between root of the doc and all other elements
this is solved
doing var el = document.createElement('g'); ==> : var el = doc.ownerDocument.createElement('g');
parseUseDirectives
  function parseUseDirectives(doc) {
    var nodelist = doc.getElementsByTagName('use');
    while (nodelist.length) {
      var el = nodelist[0],
          xlink = el.getAttribute('xlink:href').substr(1),
          x = el.getAttribute('x') || 0,
          y = el.getAttribute('y') || 0,
          el2 = doc.getElementById(xlink).cloneNode(true),
          currentTrans = (el.getAttribute('transform') || '') + ' translate(' + x + ', ' + y + ')',
          parentNode;

      for (var j = 0, attrs = el.attributes, l = attrs.length; j < l; j++) {
        var attr = attrs.item(j);
        if (attr.nodeName === 'x' || attr.nodeName === 'y' || attr.nodeName === 'xlink:href') continue;

        if (attr.nodeName === 'transform') {
          currentTrans = currentTrans + ' ' + attr.nodeValue;
        }
        else {
          el2.setAttribute(attr.nodeName, attr.nodeValue);
        }
      }

      el2.setAttribute('transform', currentTrans);
      el2.removeAttribute('id');
      parentNode = el.parentNode;
      parentNode.replaceChild(el2, el);
    }
  }

This function is failing because doc doesn't have a doc.getElementById method.
Edit: the problem here is that there ia nodesByID method of ie9. To use it i have to specify that id attribute is of type ID or XS:ID.
To do that i have to add a xsd or dtd schema if i understood good.
So i would like to add this notation before parsing the doc.
What i should write?
<xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:ID" />

Where? How? Any ideas, help?

Q: get size of data response in the browser in django? I want get size of http data responsed to the browser in django. how to do that.?
the destination i want is difference between gzip response and non-gzip response.

A: You can access the "Content-Length" header of the Response to see the size of the data in the body (See MDN :https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Length)
However in Django it seems that this Content-Length header is set inside the CommonMiddleware, and thus the Content Length header can only be accessed after the response has been throught this Middelware. So there is two solutions here ;

*

*Writing a custom MiddleWare to get the Content Lenght after the response has been throught Common Middleware

*Hack some stuff with the renderer to get the len of the content.

*Get the Content Length on Client Side

Some Reference ;

*

*Similar Question : How do I get the content length of a Django response object?

Canadian pension fund invests $1 billion in Taiwanese offshore wind plant
Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, a Canadian pension fund is investing $1-billion in a Taiwanese offshore wind project in its latest of a string of renewable-energy acquisitions. The Qubéc-based fund will acquire a 50 per cent stake in the Greater Changhua 1 Offshore Wind Farm developed by Ørsted. The acquired project has a total installed capacity of 605 MW and is valued at $3.4 billion. The project is set to be completed in 2022 and can potentially provide electricity to 650,000 homes in Taiwan. The Caisse will acquire its stake in Greater Changhua 1 through financing packages supported by 15 banks and two local life-insurance companies from Taiwan and the rest of the world.
The Greater Changhua 1 projects will be developed in two phases, the first of which comprises of projects with a cumulative capacity of 900 MW consisting of 112 turbines located 35-60 km off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan. Further, 920 MW of capacity will be added in two more phases beginning in 2025, subject to grid availability and investment decisions.
Of the $333 billion the Caisse has under management, infrastructure holdings account for $28 billion. The pension fund also has a 17.3 per cent stake in Quebec-based wind and solar developer Boralex Inc. Other major institutional investors are gradually increasing their renewable energy holdings. In December 2020, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board launched a new company to boost its European investments in solar, onshore wind, and battery storage.

Home Environment The Last Tar Sands Pipeline
The Last Tar Sands Pipeline
Photo from Wikipedia.
By Winona LaDuke
This past month, Enbridge CEO Al Monaco shared his plans to complete Enbridge's Line 3 through Minnesota by the end of 2019. That promise to shareholders may be an empty promise, as the legal challenges to the 915,000 barrels a day tar sands pipeline mount. In mid-February, the Walz /Flanagan Administration announced it would join the White Earth, Red Lake and Mille Lacs Ojibwe bands, along with Honor the Earth, to challenge the need for this pipeline in state court.
This legal challenge is just the latest of several lawsuits against Enbridge's largest project in corporate history, and the last tar sands pipeline. That is to say that four other pipeline projects are now either cancelled, or stymied in Montana and Canadian courts, as tar sands pipelines become increasingly risky ventures for investors. In December – in federal district court out in Montana – Judge Brian Morris spurned TransCanada Corp.'s plans to do "preconstruction" as part of its prep work to build the Canada-to-Texas pipeline.
According to The Hill, Judge Morris ruled that such work "could lead to the irreparable harm he is trying to prevent. Morris's order follows his November ruling that blocked President Trump's permit for Keystone XL. He ruled that the State Department didn't properly consider several factors in evaluating the pipeline and didn't properly explain why it is ignoring the Obama administration's climate change concerns."
Last August in western Canada, a federal court of appeal unanimously ruled that Trudeau's government "failed to adequately consider the concerns of some First Nations regarding the Trans Mountain expansion project. The ruling also found that the country's energy regulator, the National Energy Board, did not properly consider the impact of increased tanker traffic due to the project," as reported by The Guardian.
The certificate of need on Enbridge's Line 3 was approved by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission in June of 2018, a rogue policy move, overlooking the recommendations of the Department of Commerce, which had spent three years reviewing the economics of this pipeline. In the fall, the Department of Commerce under the Dayton administration moved to appeal that certificate of need, joining tribal governments and citizens organizations.
The Certificate of Need is the key to a project – no certificate of need, no pipeline. Despite significant pressure from Enbridge and labor interests who perceive jobs for Minnesotans, the Walz/Flanagan administration found much concern with the liability of this pipeline, and pipeline capacity economics. Since early January, Canada has decreased oil production in the Alberta Tarsands by 325,000 barrels a day, or 8.7%. (That's what amount in comparison of Line 3?)
As Enbridge cuts more forests along the proposed Line 3 pipeline path, and mounts staging areas near Itasca Park, as well as adding new pipe yards, the company clearly believes all permits will be issued in time. It's a very big timing issue.
In turn, the Montana Federal Court decision on the Keystone Pipeline project has temporarily stopped any construction, with the court also noting that TransCanada (the Keystone guys) violated federal regulations by putting in pipe yards and staging. The Court ruled that biased the Environmental Impact assessments, to assume the corporation had procured all approvals.
Enbridge today is the largest tar sands pipeline importer to the US. That sounds important, but it also sounds like a lot of liability, with aging pipelines, and a very complex plan to put a tunnel/pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac. That project is very controversial in Michigan, and the new governor has not looked well on the company, nor have the Ojibwe tribes on the Lake, whose treaty rights are threatened.
Spring will come, and the Anishinaabeg will take to our nopeming, the sugar bush. Wiindigos will slither back into a dark space. And we will see how it goes for Al Monaco and the Ojibwe.

We ran into an interesting problem in Chrome using MVC, dates, and EditorFor. When we tried to submit a search, the dates kept getting the wrong format applied to them once the page loaded again, and because of this Chrome wouldn't display a datepicker for them anymore, even though it did when the page first loaded. We eventually discovered that this was due to the way MVC operates with query string and model values, and we were able to find a couple solutions for it. Come along we me and let's do a bug hunt!
We needed to search a set of data using a date range, and were trying to set it up using the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern, which specifies that a POST action should only ever return a REDIRECT. But what were noticing was that, in Chrome, the text box inputs for the dates were getting the wrong format!
What the hell?! The dates are in the wrong format! But we specified DisplayFormat on each property, so why are they showing up as the wrong formats?
It turns our that the EditorFor call was looking at ModelState to get the values of StartDate and EndDate, and having those names appear in the query string causes them to be added to the ModelState. The HtmlHelpers will check ModelState before they check model values, so if a value exists in the ModelState with the name that the helpers are looking for, that value gets displayed.
Now the search works perfectly!
Took us a little while to figure this out, but now that we've got it, we'll keep an eye on our names in models and the query string.
Are programmers afraid of losing control over their code?
