So apparently Ted Cruz has dual citizenship, if anyone actually cares (actually, the people who probably care are his base), but I've not seen one Democrat make an issue about this other than to snicker and laugh. So when I saw this on CNN, it honked me off:
"Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen," spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told the newspaper. "To our knowledge, he never had Canadian citizenship, so there is nothing to renounce."
The recent debate has invoked the controversial "birther" movement that questioned President Barack Obama's eligibility for president. He put the issue to rest in 2011 when he released his long-form birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii–though a small amount of conspiracists still maintain doubt about the president's place of birth.
The link to this story on the CNN homepage had the teaser- "New Birther Controversy?" complete with Cavuto mark. Because, you know, Ted Cruz voluntarily releasing his birth certificate and everyone yawning is the same as a sustained multi-year effort to delegitimize President Obama while asserting he is Kenyan and blah blah blah. Also, too, both sides do it.
Not sure how this country survives this current media environment.

CNN had a headline about this? I must have missed it due to all the screen real estate they devoted to the revelation that Prince William changed his baby's diapers and gets worried about buckling him into a child seat.
BTW: I am not making those headlines up.
Belafon
Here's how all of our conversations will go with conservatives if Cruz decides to run:
Them: Ha, you can't oppose Cruz's running for president because of Obama.
Us: I never said anything about Cruz's citizenship because I think he's able to run for president. Because one of his parents was American, it doesn't matter where he was born.
Them: See, it is an issue for you. I didn't bring up his being born in Canada, you did. So you know that Obama was born in Kenya.
feebog
OK, so the difference between President Obama and Ted Cruz is that although their mothers were both American citizens and their fathers were not, Obama was born in the USA and Cruz was born in a foreign country. And oh yeah, Obama is half black which makes him suspect, while Cruz is white enough that it doesn't matter.

Crazy Ted is crazy no matter where he was born.

@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: He is a brown, but the right kind of brown, so he's totes fine.
If anyone had any doubt that Cruz is planning on running in 2016…
@? Martin: He sure spends a lot of time eating corndogs in Iowa for a man not interested in the Presidency…
He's running in 2016. Obama will be gone in 2016. Their rules change when they need to.

Comrade Dread
Of course they're not the same. Cruz is a Republican, which means he is legitimate. Obama is a Democrat which means he's only president because a conspiracy of the MSM, government officials, Muslims, and communists covered up the fact that he was born in Kenya, educated in madrasas, a gay coke fiend, fascist, socialist ready to form a new Third Reich on the backs of black gang stormtroopers who will round up and kill whitey.
It has nothing to do with race, of course.
Ugh… god, I always feel like I need to take a bath in bleach or possibly lye after channeling a Tea Party member.

Because, you know, Ted Cruz voluntarily releasing his birth certificate and everyone yawning is the same as a sustained multi-year effort to delegitimize President Obama while asserting he is Kenyan and blah blah blah. Also, too, both sides do it.
When Gavin Newsom hires a crack team of ex-SFPD officers to fly to Vancouver and do a cold case sweep of Cruz's mother's hospital for matching placenta cells, I will concede that both sides do, in fact, do it.
Honestly, I'm just curious what kind of rat-fuckery Cruz will be on the receiving end of during the '16 GOP primaries. I can't wait to find out how Texas's nuttiest new Senator once made physical contact with a copy of Das Kapital and failed to amputate the limb. Or perhaps we'll hear about his secret immigrant family, stashed away in some fallout shelter in El Paso awaiting the day of Reconquista. Or maybe we'll discover, to our nation's horror, that he is Catholic. I forget whether that still counts as a black mark among WASPs.

A sample response to the question, "Have you ever wondered why it is that every candidate choice put before you is inherently flawed?"
I noticed that in '08. The Boy Wonder wasn't in any shape or form eligible. Going strictly by the letter, which we should do, McLame wasn't either. He wasn't born on the US military base but in Colon although some wanted to let that slid. Nader's running mate, Gonzalez's mother was born a Mexican citizen which would have been a disaster with his "one heartbeat away". What are the odds of the top three tickets being at the very least questionable unless it was intentional. One is an oopsie. Two is a wake up call. Three is an outright concerted effort.

I hope nothing disqualifies any of the crazies in the Republican party from running. And I want their debates to be moderated by people like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity. I want their crazy on full display, turned up to 11.
Cruz can run for president of Canada if he fails here.

Ted Cruz isn't black. That's the difference.
Of course, the MSM is way too polite to ever suggest that the birthers are racist shitheads.
Felinious Wench
Wait…so if Ted Cruz is elected President (which will require me to leave the country) can he also run for office in Canada? Are we sure where his loyalties are? What if he's a plant from Canukistan and this has all been a nefarious plot to get single-payer health care into the United States all along?
Ah, the trolling of my right-wing family, it shall be epic. I cannot WAIT until the man declares he's running.
ruemara
He's the right kind of minority. One that backs rich old white dudes and hates other minorities too. Nothing to see there, move along.
@The Red Pen: Oh, found a really great "speaking truth to birthers" post:
There is not one single significant authority in the entire history of the United States who EVER said it required birth on US soil PLUS two citizen parents for a person to be a natural born citizen or eligible to be President. NOT ONE.
The claim was made up out of whole cloth by birthers who didn't like Obama. Now the FALSE CLAIM is being turned against Ted Cruz.
This won't end well for them. The reputable Dem/progressive sites ran off the Truthers. The fact that sites like Free Republic won't run off the birthers shows just how much they need the support of these freaks.
@ruemara: Yep, the only good Hispanic is one that comes from Cuba – because, communism!
@Alex S.: Looks pretty good, but I'd add Paul Ryan and Rick Perry.
If he runs I think that Jeb Bush would get gang raped by his opponents, and last about fifteen minutes.
Ted Cruz and his 'creepy' paisley robe. Heh.

"Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen,"
True. But I there is still a distinction here, I believe, and the shill's phrasing indicates to me they believe it as well. Cruz became a citizen by law, not by right. The Constitution grants citizenship via jus solis (right of soil) in Amd. XIV, and authorizes the Congress to establish a naturalization process in Art I, Sec. 8, which is why Cruz was given citizenship at birth. The distinction is only relevant to Cruz depending on one's interpretation of the phrase "natural-born citizen".
I'd like for wingnuts to reject Cruz on the grounds he's not eligible, but that would require them to think and to experience shame, which clearly won't happen.
What makes you think it has?
@Felinious Wench: Make sure you throw in a line about how it's a secret plot to unify the US and Canada and bring about the Amero and Agenda 21 too.
@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: Would it be possible to run as the unity candidate? He could run as Prime Minister and President of the U. S., then the northern borders could be open.
Of course he would have to win both…

@Belafon:

He's already being called "Canadian Ted". He needs to move pretty quickly on formally renouncing his Canadian citizenship before it becomes a major issue. It was incredibly dumb and/or arrogant for him to think that claiming Canadian citizenship was a lifestyle choice.

@ruemara:
This. Their threshold for supporting minority Republicans is higher than for white ones, but on general principle they'll support them as long as they do nothing to threaten the established order.
That scene at CPAC with the black Republican explaining that all black people should follow the example of Frederick Douglass who forgave his former owner pretty much says it all in a nutshell. (It's how they expect minorities to behave, but they're still prone to getting mad if the minorities don't say it in exactly the right way).
@GregB: Of course he's an asshole, that much should be obvious. Does anyone in the Senate actually like the guy? I bet even his buddies in the Asshole(TM) Caucus (Ayn Rand Paul and Mike Lee) think he's an asshole of unusual quality.
The joke will be on the Republicans if they nominate him. If they lost badly with an unwitting asshole (Romney), think how badly they'll lose with someone who will intentionally say shit like the 47% comment over and over again?

So he has dual citizenship then, correct?
One weird thing I've noticed since Obama came into office is everything they throw at him seems to come back and bite them, literally. This citizenship thing was so bizarre to begin with – and now the EXACT same weirdo claim about Obama is actually true about their favorite candidate. All weird weird weird. I think Obama might be Gandalf.
pseudonymous in nc
@Adam C:
AFAICT he has that citizenship unless and until he renounces it.
Yep. Citizenship can be latent in that way: you might never exercise it, but it's always there to be activated until you affirmatively renounce it. Which means that Tailgunner Ted may have to pay a visit to the Canadian consular services office on his lunch break in DC to de-Canuckify himself. Which in turn would make clear that he's been a Canadian citizen since birth.

@Chris: CNN is copying the Righting style of Fauxnews, I see…
I sincerely can't believe they'd nominate Cruz. I hear people saying he's a talented and charismatic politician, but I just don't see it. He's mean. What am I missing?
@Mandalay: I think this is the direct comparison to O and I guess I was too abstract. I think the references to Canada/Calgary are too realistic and really aren't the "big lie' that becomes hard to refute. Like the fake above, Cruz' father was born in Cuba. The communism is just like the references to muslim. And Rafael is his given first name. Start there and you can make up all sorts of stuff.
My other point is it goes to show how both sides do it. (Not)
Does he have to go to a Canadian embassy to renounce his citizenship?
Is there an immigration complaint we could get a lawyer to file – to prevent him from re-entering the US as a foreign national?
@Zifnab: I'd agree, except that according to the Teahad, folks like Newsom are so laid-back and wimpy that actually being sufficiently energized to raise a hand and ask "well, but really,…?" is equivalent to their testosterone-fueled hyper-Ramboed treehugger-killing romping across the globe for the least speck of propaganda fiction proof of BHO's IslamoFasoSoshulist Kenyanism. Because progressives are so unmanly, or just not outraged like Good Patriotic Xtian Hetero Real Ahmurrcans™ over this Trampling of Teh Constitooshun, or something, so Shut Up.

@PeakVT:
Cruz became a citizen by law, not by right.
The fourteenth amendment was adopted in 1868, so you have to account for all the presidents born between 1788 and 1868 who didn't have an explicit constitutional underpinning for their citizenship, but instead relied upon statutory and judicial precedent going back to colonial British days.
Where there's some passing interest is the language of the 1790 Naturalization Act that "the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens…" That's long been superseded, but any judicial originalist would probably want to unpick whether that "as" bestows the thing itself or only its functional equivalent.
It's all hypothetical, because not only has SCOTUS never gone near that clause with a ten-foot pole, it's not certain anyone could establish standing to get them to go near it.

@IowaOldLady: I agree

though a small amount of conspiracists still maintain doubt about the president's place of birth.
Oh, bullshit.
There is NOTHING Barack Obama can do to convince the 27% (and the vermin who doubt his citizenship are not a "small amount of conspiracists"…it's practically mainstream Teatard/Rethuglican thought) that he was born in the United States, because as we all know, Hawaii has NEVER been a part of the United States.

Potentially, but not necessarily.
You may have to be interviewed by a citizenship judge. If so, we will notify you by mail of the time and place of your interview. If you live outside Canada, the Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate responsible for your area will contact you to let you know how the interview will be conducted.
British or US citizens wanting to renounce their citizenship have to make an in-person declaration at a mission, but Canadians are nicer and seem to be happy to do it by filling in a form and sending a cheque.
Maybe BO IS Kenyan. Personally, I don't give a shit. I would actually enjoy watching the ensuing hysteria from all quarters.

@gocart mozart: There's a glass ceiling at about 47-8% on the GOP presidential vote share, barring a calamitous Democratic nominee. To get over that, they're going to have to nominate someone who's one or more, at least one or more, of the following:
• Not a neo-confederate
• Not a God-botherer
• Not a xenophobe
• Not carrying a y-chromosome
• Not one of the Fetus People
It might not be Christie. But if they want to win, and not just score points with Republican Jesus, it'll be someone like Christie. Or they lose again.

Well you can forget about Christie… he signed a bill today in NJ (CA is the only other state to do so!) banning gay conversion therapy on minors by licensed therapists. Although I guess if it's under the auspices of Jaysus it's OK.
@Zifnab: First, Cruz is Cuban, you know, the "good" kind of Latino who drifted to Florida in a boat and got automatic green cards for agreeing that Fidel is the Antichrist, not those layabout criminal Mexicans who crawl hundreds of miles over the desert for a chance to wash dishes for a living. Second, being Catholic is cool now — see Santorum, Scalia, et. al. Hell, they're even nominating Mormons these days.
@Davis X. Machina:
To get over that, they're going to have to nominate someone who's one or more, at least one or more, of the following
I don't think it's absolutely required that the person fall into one of the categories you listed. The big thing is that they have to be able to boost the Republicans' vote share among one of the groups that Republicans are doing badly in, e.g. women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, etc. The idea that the only way to do this is by nominating somebody who's a member of one of those groups is classic identity politics. A better approach would be to actually change their platform in ways that don't offend those groups, but I guess that's beyond the realm of possibility these days.
@Villago Delenda Est: Well said.
@daverave: Yep — saw that this morning and thought, "wow, I guess he's really not interested in the Republican nomination after all." On the other hand, this could be the first indication we have that Christie's thinking about an independent run.

@pseudonymous in nc: so you have to account for all the presidents born between 1788 and 1868 who didn't have an explicit constitutional underpinning for their citizenship,
I've just assumed that this glaring hole was another compromise necessitated by the Southern attachment to slavery. Obviously it would be absurd if the only citizens were naturalized citizens. So the Framers fudged by omitting the issue and essentially leaving the citizenship of native-borns to the states to decide on an ongoing basis.
Anyway, I think it's irrelevant: Cruz was a citizen from the second he popped out, and that's good enough for me. I'm just hoping that the Repukes will reject him because I think it would reflect poorly on them.
MazeDancer
Maybe you have to be Texan to understand Rafael Edward Cruz's biography, but as someone who grew up in the South, can tell you that born again Christians leaving the South to go Up North to school – albeit Princeton does have a long history of Southerners attending – are few.
And those that do leave and go on to attend Harvard Law School, graduate Magna while being a Law Review Editor and founding the Hispanic Law Review do not usually become certifiably bat shit wing nut. Ted Cruz has a bio that likely produces people like the Castro Brothers. Or at least Democrats. (Wonder if Santorum will bring up Cruz's suspect educational background?)
I went North to school and never went back South. This is the more frequent pattern. Leaving the South for college is a big deal, and is often motivated by a desire to get out of the racist, socially oppressive surroundings. Leaving Texas for college at all, especially if you're thinking local political career, is also not the common pattern.
On the other hand, guys with father issues are a dime a dozen in Presidential Politics – Clinton, Gore, Bush, for example. And Pastor Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, le pere as they say in the land of Ted's birth, is a new level of BSC.
@Roger Moore: No one reads platforms. The candidate, like a sacrament, is the outward and visible sign of the platform, like grace.
@MazeDancer: "Hispanic" Law Review? Now we have special law for Hispanic people? Sounds to me like pinko-lib, P.C. identity politics to me! Can't we just have an "American Law Review?"
@MazeDancer: I guess GWB is the exception that proves the rule? I think twangy Jesus talk and a good pair of cowboy boots really overcomes a lot of nativism in the South, particularly Texas.

Poke a birther with a stick day was back on the 4th. The day in 1961 that Kenya celebrated the day they'd conquer the United States when Obama was born.
Cruz was a citizen from the second he popped out, and that's good enough for me.
Oh, for sure. I mainly think it's interesting as an example of a "known unknown", because you're likely to see various permutations of this show up over the next few decades, and never get a conclusive SCOTUS ruling on it. Eventually, I'd assume that Congress will get around to striking the clause entirely and allowing naturalized citizens to become president (post-dated X years to exclude current pols) and it'll all be moot.
Had repressed the ridiculousness of Republicans thinking Palin would appeal to women strictly on the basis of her having two X chromosomes.
Have wondered about that Hispanic Law Review thing. First of all, are there enough Hispanic students at Harvard Law to staff a whole review? And, yes, it sounds so Special Interest. And Ted was already on the Law Review. Wouldn't it better serve, not to mention be more American, to lobby for getting more Hispanic students on the actual Law Review.
ETA: Oops, wiki error. The name is Harvard Latino Law Review. And it is about laws affecting Hispanics. Probably none of those were immigration or border oriented, right?

You'd think, but you're applying normal, sane reason to the issue.
You have to "think" like a teatard on this. They're trying desperately to appeal to Hispanics in some way other than actual policy positions. So they try for the ethnic identity angle. Too bad for them that the Hispanics are not as stupid as their fellow teatards, who actually buy this shit.

Thompson began to respond: "Connie, we haven't seen any proof that any of this has happened. I have sat through all the classified briefings on the Armed Services…."
But this questioning of what Bush said appeared to be too much for Chung. She interrupted Thompson's answer, saying, "You mean you don't believe what President Bush just said? With all due respect…you know… I mean, what…"
Faced with Chung's obvious alarm that someone might not take Bush's word as definitive proof, Thompson tried to reassure her: "No, no, that's not what I said…. I said that there has been nothing in the committee hearing briefings that have substantiated this. If there is substantiation, we need to see that in Congress, not hear it over the television monitor."
Later in the broadcast, Chung returned to the question of whether Thompson trusted Bush, suggesting that skepticism toward Bush was equivalent to an endorsement of Saddam Hussein …
God, I just remember her from the local L.A. news. I didn't realize she was a fucking imbecile.
@The Red Pen: It's called a seal, and is made of wax and has a raised impression of the stamp used by the jurisdiction he was born in, to wit, Alberta. Unfortunately they don't scan very well.
But keep displaying your ignorance; it really helps your cause!
On the other hand, guys with father issues are a dime a dozen in Presidential Politics – Clinton, Gore, Bush, for example.
Hell, Obama wrote an entire book about his father issues. The urge to Prove Something to Daddy by going into politics is strong.
@mdblanche: We sure have up here. People are pissed, and getting ever more so. Harper's just announced he's proroguing again, for his third time. The corruption, cronyism, and straight-up authoritarianism (not to mention the bigoted religulosity) of the current regime don't bode well for their prospects in 2015; I think they'll continue to do all right in Alberta (where it's All Big Oil, All The Time) but they are looking at writing off BC, SW Ontario, and their foothold in Quebec.
Unless we see a ramping up of the election fraud that was rampant in 2010.
She's like Dennis Miller without the pretense of being a "comedian." (No, I'm not saying Miller is one, or is even in the same quadrant of the Galaxy as "funny." A dead gerbil is funnier than Miller. I'm just saying he pretends he is a comedian.)
@polyorchnid octopunch:
So putting your two comments together, it's not a coincidence that Cruz was born in the wingnuttiest province of Canada?
@Villago Delenda Est:
Too bad for them that the Hispanics are not as stupid as their fellow teatards, who actually buy this shit.
You can't really blame them; the identity angle has worked so well for them for the last fifty years that they're slow to realize it's not working anymore.
Basically, their remote stopped working. And they haven't yet realized "battery must be dead, time to get a new one." They're still somewhere between the "angrily and repeatedly push all the buttons" stage and the "angrily smack the remote on the table in the hopes that that makes it work again" stage.

Another thing that struck me was this: if you look at the posted BC, it features a giant, empty, pink 60-point star in the lower left corner. WTF is that?
It means Cruz is really a girl.
@The Red Pen: You got to love how even John McCain after having a grandfather who was a WWII hero and himself tortured as a POW isn't REAL American enough for these assholes.

A child of a US citizen and a foriegn national is not necesarily born a US citizen–it depends on the circumstances. Wikipedia summarizes the rules:
A person born on or after November 14, 1986, is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:
"1.The person's parents were married at time of birth
"2.One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born
"3.The citizen parent lived at least five years in the United States before the child's birth
"4.A minimum of two of these five years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.
"INA 301(g) makes additional provisions to satisfy the physical-presence requirements for periods citizens spent abroad in "honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization." Additionally citizens, who spent time living abroad as the "dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person" in any of the previously mentioned organizations can also be counted.
"Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen before November 14, 1986. United States law on this subject changed multiple times throughout the twentieth century, and the law is applicable as it existed at the time of the individual's birth.
"For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:
"1.The person's parents were married at the time of birth
"2.One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born
"3.The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child's birth;
"4.A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday."

Now note: under these rules, Obama would not be a US citizen if born in Kenya–because his mother had not yeat reached her 19th birthday when he was born ( and so had not lived in the US for 5 years after her 14th birthday–see No. 4). If that seems like a crazy result, well, that's why they changed the statute.
Fortunately, Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya.
@Mnemosyne:
Have sometimes wondered what the percentage is on Proving it to Daddy – especially if Daddy held public office – is as prime motivator for running for office. President, Governor, and Senator especially. Gotta be at least 50%. 75% more likely.

Countdown to some smart aleck requesting his "long form birth certificate" in 5, 4, 3, 2…
Harper's just announced he's proroguing again
What is he trying to pull off this time?
@rea:
Now note: under these rules, Obama would not be a US citizen if born in Kenya–because his mother had not yeat reached her 19th birthday when he was born ( and so had not lived in the US for 5 years after her 14th birthday–see No. 4).
Assuming that his parents were legally married, that is. Since Obama Sr. was previously married and not legally divorced, his marriage to Stanley Ann Dunham was probably not legal under US law. That would put Obama II in the category of people whose US citizen mother was not married to their father, and a different set of rules applied. Unless, of course, his parents had gotten married in Kenya, which allowed polygyny.

I've got a wingnut friend I see once a month; its like getting an extremely condensed version of what Faux has been banging on about recently. Two months ago he was all excited that Zimmerman was considering suing ABC because they kept saying a "Hispanic" guy shot Travon, when "Zimmerman is actually White!" He certainly loved the idea of a member of the evil MSM getting sued; of course in his eyes all media except FAUX is highly suspect.
This month he was on about Holder's recent announcement regarding review of nonviolent drug offenders and mandatory sentencing guidelines, absolutely sure that "letting all those black criminals out is going to cause a crime wave!". He's sure we're talking hundreds of thousands of scary criminals, all black of course, though he might have enough mental space for a few of them to be "real" Hispanics.
His statements about Zimmerman 2 months ago left me fairly sure that the standard Fox-Spews-trained wingnut doesn't consider "Cuban" to be within the category of "Hispanic". His recent fear O' da black man statement about Holder makes it clear he's still a stone-cold racist, but Cuban doesn't fall into the wingnut category of "non-white, and therefore scary criminals at heart". Ted Cruz will be the guy the Fauxitariat wants at the top of the ticket – count on it.
@StringOnAStick:
Every now and then, a wingnut gets really really excited over the idea of using our own Political Correctness against us. It usually makes no sense, but there you are.
Some interpretations I've seen say that it actually meant that the US citizen without enough "in the US" years under his/her belt needed to be living outside of the US — if, say, a pregnant 18-year-old was vacationing in Toronto and went into labor, that didn't mean that her baby was denied citizenship. So even if the president's mother had been outside of the US at the time of his birth (and there is absolutely ZERO evidence that such was the case), she would have had to be a resident of that country at the time, not just a visitor.
But, as you said, the language is a little ambiguous, which is why it had to be changed.

@kjkeenan1950 @JeffersonObama Fun fact: Ted Cruz's father fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution.
@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: And lose by a landslide.
@Felinious Wench: Maybe Cruz could become President of the US and Prime Minister of Canada simultaneously, which would cause the two countries to merge, like with England and Scotland under James I/VI. It would be so cool to get a meme like that shooting through the Freeper community.

Finally, the national shame of 1812 will be redeemed.

Minn. health officials to college kids: 'Lay low before you go'
Minnesota asks students to avoid end-of-summer parties, group road trips if they want their campus to stay open

ROCHESTER, Minn. — "We have a special message to college students heading to campus this fall," said Minnesota Department of Health director of infectious disease Kris Ehresmann on Friday, Aug. 14. "Lay low before you go."
Health officials expressed their concern during a Friday media call that end-of-summer gatherings, crowded events in bars and group road trips could make the state's campuses the hub for incoming infections.
They used the news conference to ask that students preparing to return to campus begin to stay home and interact only with the people they live with for 14 days prior to returning.
"No matter what you've been doing up to this point," Ehresmann said, "now is a very important time to start reducing any activities that carry a heightened risk of transmission. That means skipping the massive house party, avoiding the crowded bars, and limiting your interactions."
The first outbreaks in Minnesota identified this summer were affiliated with bars serving colleges and universities, Ehresmann said, citing outbreaks in Mankato, Minneapolis, Duluth, Bemidji and St. Cloud. But she added that the warning applies to students across the state.
"The actions they take now to not follow mask guidance or social distance guidance could have an impact on whether or not their college or university is able to continue with an in-person learning mode," Ehresmann said. "The bottom line is, students will decide how successful this is, and whether or not their college will have to close down and send everybody home again."
Ehresmann says the goal of the "lay low" advisory was to minimize what's being brought to campus, and that, "once students are on campus, we've given lots of guidance for institutes of higher education on how to minimize transmission when students arrive."
Health officials also used the call to issue warnings about hand sanitizers containing methanol or 1-propanol.
"Neither of these is an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizer products marketed in the United States," said state epidemiologist Ruth Lynfield. "These can be toxic and life-threatening when ingested."
Lynfield said the Minnesota Poison Control center has received 50 calls about products containing methanol, with eight people seeking care. She said 14 of the 50 calls were about kids under 19, and that eight were for kids under 6, with most involving ingestion. Though health officials are not aware of any deaths in Minnesota from sanitizer poisoning, the CDC has just released a report listing four deaths in Arizona and New Mexico from persons swallowing hand sanitizers containing methanol.
Lynfield said the products can cause respiratory, vision, skin and central nervous system symptoms, and that anyone who has been exposed to the products and is experiencing symptoms should see immediate care.
Additionally, consumers who have used these products should stop using them immediately and dispose of them in hazardous waste containers, not pour them down the drain or flush them down the toilet. Health officials directed consumers to a website at www.fda.gov/unsafehandsanitizers for a list of hand sanitizer products to avoid.
Also on Friday, the ad-hoc, international collaboration administered by Mayo Clinic and created at the start of the pandemic to offer convalescent plasma in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 announced it has released a preprint showing promising findings. The work identified two signals that will be used to guide clinical trials of the treatment: controlled studies capable of determining effectiveness with scientific certainty.
The report reflects the treatment of 35,000 patients at dozens of medical centers large and small. It marks the first findings addressing the effectiveness of the Expanded Access Program created to provide the century-old treatment now being repurposed for the deadly pandemic.
More than half the patients treated in the EAP were in the ICU and a third were on a respirator.
It provides preliminary evidence that earlier treatment and with higher doses of antibodies were two variables associated with reduced mortality over a seven day period.
Among those who received plasma within three days, 8.7% died, compared to 11.9% of those who received it after four days. That was a small effect that was nonetheless statistically significant, a benchmark for clinical meaningful findings.
There was no control group, however, so the data cannot be used to assign causal findings.
It joins preliminary results of a small controlled study just published finding mortality benefit in patients given plasma combined with another blood product.
Early response to the EAP preprint has been cautious, with scientists lamenting the challenge of conducting trials that draw definitive findings while medical centers attempt to do whatever they can to save lives in a deadly pandemic.
Large study suggests convalescent plasma can help treat Covid-19, with caveats, by @damiangarde and me.
Lots of skepticism of uncontrolled nature of study.https://t.co/epV2xqxqQO

Discussions about the Directory Tool on lds.org. Questions about the Directory on the classic site should be posted in the LUWS forum.
A member of our ward is called to be the Website Administrator. She takes care of the photo directory online at lds.org. She takes pictures of people, uploads them to the directory, and assigns names to the photos. Everything has worked fine until recently--she can no longer see the option to upload photos. I'm the membership clerk and it still works for me. I checked and she still has the calling of Website Administrator--nothing has changed, but it seems like she lost the rights to upload photos. She has tried different browsers and computers with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
uploading of pictures is restricted to Bishopric Members, ie ward clerk, and the head of house. Ward Website Administrator does not have rights to upload pictures on the new directory.
According to Directory roles and responsibilities, a Ward Website Administrator should have rights to "edit" the photos. They do not have the right to change the profile information.
I'd suggest checking the CDOL to make sure her calling is correct there.
Yes, Ward Website Admin should definitely have photo rights in the directory. RussellHltn's advice is the best place to start (check CDOL).
I checked CDOL and she still has the same calling she has had for months. She has uploaded several photos before, but apparently a week or two ago the button just disappeared for her. Maybe I'll try deleting her calling and then adding it again.
4. Confirm that the entry contains a 'p1559' (this is the CDOL code for a website admin).
2. Click the checkbox and fill out the form. Be as detailed as possible and be sure to point out the missing data in the ldspositions header, as well as the fact that you have confirmed the correct calling data in CDOL.
If the position code is there, confirm that the ward and stake unit number are correct (if not follow the same procedure above to get help). Otherwise, there may be a new bug in the application.
Turns out her calling got switched in MLS to a custom calling with exactly the same name, so she lost her rights to lds.org.


A LOCAL church leader has left tongues wagging claiming to have done a rendition of the biblical miracle of changing water into wine.
Prophet Clever Kudzanai Mugambiwa, founder of Covenant Family International Church who is originally based in Kwekwe, reportedly performed the miracle at one of his services in Kuwadzana 6 at the Presbyterian College where he has opened a Harare branch.
The miracle has divided opinion after scenes from the service circulated on social media.
While some have labeled the man of cloth an attention seeker, some have defended him saying miracles still happen.
This is one among many controversial miracles alleged to have been performed by him. .
The preacher reportedly prayed for a sealed water bottle before calling congregants to taste it.
This, according to sources, was done as a show of faith during a healing and deliverance service.
"This was healing and deliverance service on Saturday and he was demonstrating how the power of God can do wonders. I believe it was a way to boost faith in his congregants," a source said.
The preacher confirmed the incident and said this is all through the work of God.
"Miracles are an important element in worship. They are called signs pointing people to Jesus. These things do happen a lot and if we decide to talk about them then every week we will be in the news. I know people will say a lot but this should be expected. Even Jesus suffered the same fate with people criticising what he would have done but in the end people would go to him at night for help," he said.
"Harare has been remembered. This was a healing and deliverance service and many people with different problems were helped," he said.

Transitional Council Foreign Office in Canada organizes seminar on the occasion of the anniversary of October Revolution
The Foreign Relations Office of the Southern Transitional Council in Canada organized a political symposium via video call commemorating the 57th anniversary of the glorious October 14th Revolution, under the title "The Southern Issue on the Remembrance of October",.
Abdul Karim Ahmed Saeed, Head of the Foreign Relations Office of the Southern Transitional Council in Canada, started by welcoming the participants in this symposium, conveying congratulations of President Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi and the Presidency of the Southern Transitional Council, and from them to the masses of our southern people at home and abroad.
Saeed also conveyed to the participants the greetings and congratulations of President Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi on this great occasion, indicating that this occasion comes while our southern people are steadfast on the ground in facing all forms of war against them, and the policy of collective punishment in all aspects of security, service and humanitarian life by the so-called corrupt Yemeni legitimate government, stressing that victory is coming, and all this suffering will disappear with the steadfastness , patience, and stand of our people with its political leadership of the Southern Transitional Council.
After that, Mr. Amr Ali Salem Al-Beedh, the member of the Presidency of the Southern Transitional Council, spoke about the political vision of the Southern Transitional Council to resolve the issue of the South, reviewing the various aspects of the southern issue, starting from the year 1994, leading to the formation of the Southern Transitional Council, the political carrier of the southern issue and the political and military victories achieved on the ground and through diplomacy, with discussions and consultations that the leadership of the Southern Transitional Council is conducting today in Riyadh.
The last speaker in the symposium was Dr. Aidaroos Al-Naqib, Head of the Foreign Relations Department of the Southern Transitional Council, in which he talked about the social dimension of the glorious revolution of 14 October, stating the revolution's experience and its stages and the importance of celebrating this great historical occasion.
After the end of the interventions, the followers and viewers were given the opportunity to put forward comments and inquiries, and they were fully answered by the participants, each in his field and specialization.

Sometimes, life throws you hurdles that you were just not prepared for which ends up with you falling in your face. You may feel bummed out and upset but I've learned to stand up and dust myself off. It's not worth your time and energy wondering what you did wrong or punching yourself mentally.
Believe me. I know. This summer turned out to not be my summer. I am out of a part-time job that I decided to quit to focus on an internship and now I am out of an internship. I won't go into detail about it as I do not want to be unprofessional. I will just say that we were on completely different pages and it turned out we were just not a good match.
My friends tell me it's a blessing in disguise. "Dylan! You need a break! Just relax!It's summer!" "Just enjoy it!" "You'll find another one! You're great and experienced!" It's all nice that they think these things and I do acknowledge that I need a break, but I like to keep busy and I love to learn, it's just in my nature.
I am a hard worker who appreciates to be challenged. Sometimes I can learn quickly and other times it can take me a few tries. Granted, I am bound to make mistakes or do things less than perfectly. Sometimes I can't catch what I do wrong and I need someone to point it out to me. Life is a learning experience, it can be unpleasant or a breeze.
My parents. They are always there through thick and thin. I can cry on their shoulders and they are my best friend, despite the fact that they can get on my nerves.
My friends. My select few friends that I will call by their nicknames just in case, Lupin, Princesa Triste, Cinnamon Bun, Joanna, Jackie, Dimi, Leah, Kora and Lehlie. Thank you for listening and making me laugh for days. You guys are truly the best. I could not picture my life without you all.
My "adoptive" sisters Nadine and Sherine.You guys can be brutally honest with me since we grew up together. You are the people who I turn to for everything. You guys can be a bit mean but I know it's tough love! I've looked up to you both for years and I believe you two are the ones who helped shape who I am today.
My Blog and my readers. Thank you for supporting me in these first few months. I have renewed a passion of mine in the form of writing. I've learned more about myself in these past few months and have found that I really do appreciate you all. Without you all reading, there would really not be a purpose!
The most ironic of all: My life.Despite the fact that my current situation is bumming me out, I appreciate the life I have. I appreciate all the opportunities that I have been given and most of all I appreciate the people I have met, the experiences I have had, and the education I am receiving. I will keep these in mind and put all the good things that happen to me in this jar that I started on January 1st, 2013. I will open it and read it on December 31, 2013.
I know everyone is sounding off on what happened yesterday at The Boston Marathon but it is something to stop and think about.
We take life for granted and we often forget that things like this can happen anywhere and at any given moment. We can't see the future and as much as that would help, we are powerless. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of those who were in Boston at that time. It must've been a terrible scene to witness and simply looking at photos is enough to make anyone cringe and say a prayer.
Life is a valuable thing and we often get caught up in the little things. The next time we start to complain about something small, stop and think about how you only have one life to live. A horrible event always makes us stop and remember and we band together, stronger than ever. Live life positively and to the fullest, you only have one shot…so make it count.
We are with you Boston. Much love sent your way.
Today has been a great day. It was a bleak and chilly day as I made my way to school with only about 6 hours of sleep. I did the usual, take notes, and make my way to the cafe on campus with a friend. We were chatting and I was checking my email when I saw I got one from one of the internships I had applied for. I don't know if it's a good thing to just say the name but it's a company known for owning many great fashion magazines.
I got an interview! It's about a week and a half away, and I'm still racking my brain on what I should wear, take, and ask. Another great thing that happened today, is that my night class was canceled, woo! I am home in my favorite little pjs and just relaxing before I start cracking down on my homework. I am slowly getting many of my projects down, which is relaxing me.
I'm the kind of person who loves getting ALL their homework done on a Friday so that they could have the weekend full of freedom. It's a great thing, positivity. Positivity brightens your mood and makes even the bleakest days bearable. I must admit, I've always been the person who was a little on the negative side, always letting the smallest things stress me to the max. Now that I am in university, I don't let things get to me. You get used to the bumps in the road and it's only natural.
All you have to do is breathe and relax, everything happens for a reason. You always need to look on the bright side, even on the cloudiest of days.


Economic Survey prescribes a tax reform mantra to unburden India Inc, phasing out distortive exemptions and cutting deficits.
Buoyed by about 19 per cent jump in tax collection, the government may further moderate taxes in the Budget with the Economic Survey prescribing a tax reform mantra to unburden India Inc, phasing out distortive exemptions and cutting deficits.
"To be competitive globally, Indian industry needs to be unburdened from the high level of taxes and the distortive exemptions that provide perverse incentives," said the Survey for 2005-06, tabled in Parliament a day before the Union Budget.
The process of withdrawal or "grand-fathering" of tax exemptions is being speeded up and higher revenue is being collected even with unchanged or lower tax rates, it said but advocated raising the Tax-GDP rate to attain the targets set in Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act.
"It is critical to raise Tax-GDP ratio to 13 per cent by 2008-09 and effect shift in the composition of expenditure in favour of those creating productive assets."
Though growth in tax collection at 18.8 per cent during April-December 2005-06 is the highest in last five years, the survey said: "Some pressure points are there in the form of below par performance in excise and corporate tax."
While there was some "downside risks" of not achieving the revenue targets, it said: "There is room for some expenditure compression with tight financial discipline, the fiscal and revenue deficits budgeted could be met."
Listing out challenges for achieving FRBM target, it said higher 22 per cent growth in revenue can be attained annually through moderate rates, wider taxpayer base, grand-fathering tax exemptions, reliance on voluntary compliance with effective and fast penal mechanism.
The survey also advocated simplification and digitisation of tax administration and taxpayer facilitation measures to shore up revenue.
While a higher Tax-GDP ratio could make available more resources for social infrastructure and developmental projects, the survey said there was much scope for expenditure control by imposing user charges on public utilities, better targeting of subsidies, merging schemes with same objectives and cutting down time and cost overruns.
All these measures are necessary for cutting fiscal and revenue deficits of the central and state governments, which in turn will sustain higher 8-10 per cent growth, it said.
"Fiscal policy is a critical component of the policy framework for achieving sustained annual growth of 8-10 per cent with macro-economic stability," it said.
High deficits, unproductive expenditure and tax distortions have constrained the economy from realising its full growth potential, it added.
With FRBM Act in place, the survey said fiscal deficit has declined to 4.1 per cent of GDP in 2004-05 from 5.9 per cent in 2002-03 while revenue deficit came down from 4.4 to 2.5 per cent.
The fiscal and revenue deficit for 2005-06 is budgeted at 4.3 per cent and 2.7 per cent of GDP.
While Centre continues to pursue the path of fiscal consolidation as per FRBM Act, the survey said states complemented the efforts in line with the recommendation of 12th Finance Commission.

The fiscal year in 120 seconds
5-Year Overview
Letter from the Executive Board
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity
Aurubis Operating System (AOS)
Management system for achieving continuous and sustainable process improvement.
Blister copper
Unrefined porous copper. During solidification, dissolved gases form small blisters in the copper. Blister copper is also purchased as a raw material.
Capital employed
The sum of equity, provisions for pension liabilities, and financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
(Formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) non-profit organization with the objective of encouraging companies and towns to publish their environmental data.
Closing-the-Loop
For Aurubis, "closing the loop" means turning customers into suppliers. In the process, copper scrap or production waste that accumulates in the value chain through our customers' production processes is directly delivered back to us by the customers. This helps us close material cycles.
Both primary and secondary raw materials are becoming more complex, meaning their copper content is decreasing and the levels of other elements and impurities contained in them are increasing.
Compliance means conforming to certain rules. Apart from laws, directives, and other standards, it also refers to internal corporate guidelines (e.g., codes of conduct).
Currently four minerals: tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold. Trade with these minerals involves the risk of supporting and prolonging conflicts in politically unstable areas. As a result, importers of these minerals are subject to special due diligence requirements, for example through the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation. The internationally recognized OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas serves as a due diligence guide.
Continuous cast shapes
Products manufactured from endless strands produced in a continuous casting process. Continuous cast shapes are processed into sheets, foils, profiles, and tubes by rolling and extrusion.
Continuous cast wire rod
Semifinished product produced in a continuous process and used for the fabrication of copper wire.
Converter slag
Hardened melt that forms in the converter during the smelting process. Like natural stone, it can be further processed.
Copper cathodes
Quality product of the copper tankhouse (copper content: 99.99 %) and the first marketable product in copper production.
Copper concentrates
A product resulting from the processing (enriching) of copper ores, Aurubis' main raw material. Since copper is found almost exclusively in ores, in compound form, and in low concentrations (usually below 1 % copper content), the ores are enriched in processing facilities into concentrates (copper content of 25 to 40 %) after being mined.
Copper premium
Surcharge for high-quality cathodes, which are used for the production of continuous cast wire rod and continuous cast shapes, among other products.
Earnings before interest and taxes are an indicator of a company's operative earning power, ignoring its capital structure.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization are an indicator of a company's operative earning power, ignoring its capital structure and propensity to invest.
Earnings before taxes are an indicator of a company's earning power.
Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (also known as the EU eco-audit). EMAS was developed by the EU and is a joint system comprising environmental management and environmental auditing for organizations that want to improve their environmental performance.
Environment, social, and corporate governance. ESG refers to the dimensions of corporate responsibility and is generally used in the context of sustainability-related investments.
ESG-linked Schuldschein loan (bonded loan)
A Schuldschein loan (bonded loan) with components linked to sustainability criteria. See "ESG."
The generated surplus of cash and cash equivalents, taking into account cash-related changes in working capital, and after deducting capital expenditure, interest payments, and dividend payments. It is available for a company's dividend and interest payments, as well as for the redemption of financial liabilities.
This organization publishes the GRI Standards, which are the standards and indicators for sustainability reporting. The GRI Standards are established internationally as a framework for voluntary sustainability reporting.
Hydrogen that is produced using only electricity from renewable energies, i.e., in a CO2-free process.
ILO Core Labour Standards
The Core Labour Standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) of the United Nations comprise four basic principles: upholding freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, eliminating forced labor, abolishing child labor, and eliminating discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. These are found in the eight fundamental ILO Conventions, which are referred to as the ILO Core Labour Standards.
Iron silicate
A by-product of copper production in the refining process. Formed using sand from iron that is chemically bonded to copper concentrates and recycling raw materials. Mainly used in the construction industry as granules/sand or in lump form.
An international standard that establishes the criteria for setting up and monitoring companies' environmental management systems. A company can receive proof of a functioning environmental management system (certification) through an external expert.
An international, intersectoral standard that regulates the requirements for and implementation of companies' occupational health and safety management systems. It replaces the OHSAS 18001 standard.
An international standard that establishes criteria for initiating, operating, and continuously improving an energy management system. The objective of the standard is to steadily improve companies' energy-related performance. Energy-intensive companies have to be certified in accordance with EMAS or ISO 50001 to be eligible to receive concessions on the levies under the German Renewable Energies Act.
Key performance indicator; a parameter that can be used to measure a company's performance in a certain area.
Kayser Recycling System, a modern recycling plant in Lünen for the treatment of a wide range of copper-bearing secondary raw materials.

London Metal Exchange (LME)
The most important metal exchange in the world, with the highest turnover.
LTIFR
Lost time injury frequency rate (accident frequency).
Market-based
Method for calculating indirect CO2 emissions (Scope 2). CO2 emissions that are related to the production of bought-in electricity or energy of other kinds are measured using the data of the energy supplier or the purchased product. The emission factor is therefore directly related to the type of energy source. See also "location-based."
A materiality analysis serves to establish the content of non-financial reports or sustainability reports in general, or is used as the foundation for developing sustainability strategies. During the analysis, the sustainability topics that are especially relevant for the company in question are identified.
Metal gain
Metal yield that a smelter can extract beyond the paid metal content in the raw input materials.
Net borrowings
Consist of long- and short-term financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
The generated surplus of cash and cash equivalents after taking into account cash-related changes in working capital. It is available for payments in conjunction with a company's investing and financing activities.
Primary copper production
Production of copper from copper concentrates.
Product surcharge
Fee for the processing of copper cathodes into copper products.
The REACH regulation has been in force in the European Union since 2007. REACH stands for "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals." The objective of the regulation is to record all material flows in the EU.
Recycling materials
Materials in a circular economy. They arise as residues from production processes or during the preparation of end-of-life products and rejects.
Return on capital employed is the ratio of EBIT to capital employed as at the balance sheet date. It describes the efficiency with which capital was utilized during the reporting period.
Science Based Targets initiaitve (SBTi)
See "Science-based targets (SBT)."
Science-based targets (SBT)
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) was founded by the CDP, the UN Global Compact, the World Resources Institute, and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). With the jointly developed method, companies can calculate targets related to how quickly and to what extent they have to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to 1.5°C – referred to as science-based targets.
Secondary copper production
Production of copper from recycling materials.
Official cash selling rate on the LME. Price basis in annual sales agreements.

This term refers to the inclusion of environmental, social, and governance-related criteria in investment decisions in the financial sector. The objective of sustainable finance is to promote long-term investments in sustainable business activities and projects.
Tankhouse
An electrochemical process, the last refining stage in metal recovery, takes place in the tankhouse. For copper, anodes and cathodes are hung in a sulfuric acid solution (electrolyte) and connected to an electric current. Copper and baser elements (e.g., nickel) are then dissolved from the anode in the electrolyte. Copper from the solution is deposited on the cathode with a purity of 99.99 %. Precious metals (e.g., silver and gold) and insoluble components settle as "anode slimes" on the bottom of the tankhouse cell.
Treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs), refining charges (RCs)
Surcharges on the purchase price of metals, charged for turning these raw materials into the commodity exchange product – copper cathodes – and other metals.

Q: Google Drive API V3 Javascript - Create File with Content This question has been asked before, but the answer was using API V2. The google documentation does not clarify how to create a file with its content using javascript client code. I tried using the code listed under Node, however, it only creates the file, it does not insert any content. Here is my code:
  let fileMetadata = {
    'name': name,
    parents: [parentId]
  };

  let media = {
    mimeType: 'text/plain',
    body: 'content inside file'
  };

  gapi.client.drive.files.create({
    resource: fileMetadata,
    media,
    fields: 'id'
  })
  .then(response => {
    console.log('response: ', response);
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log('something is wrong');
  });

Can someone help me insert content into files please?

A: How about this sample script? In my environment, although gapi.client.drive.files.create() can create an empty file on Google Drive, it cannot directly upload files including contents. I think that this might not be able to upload files and metadata with the multipart/related, although this might be resolved by the future update. So now, as one of workarounds, I use XMLHttpRequest.
Before you use this sample script, please confirm the following points.

*

*In your situation, you have already been able to create files using gapi. In my script, the access token is retrieved using gapi.

*When you use this script, please set fileContent and metadata.

Sample script :
In this sample script, a text file including contents is created under a folder.
var fileContent = 'sample text'; // As a sample, upload a text file.
var file = new Blob([fileContent], {type: 'text/plain'});
var metadata = {
    'name': 'sampleName', // Filename at Google Drive
    'mimeType': 'text/plain', // mimeType at Google Drive
    'parents': ['### folder ID ###'], // Folder ID at Google Drive
};

var accessToken = gapi.auth.getToken().access_token; // Here gapi is used for retrieving the access token.
var form = new FormData();
form.append('metadata', new Blob([JSON.stringify(metadata)], {type: 'application/json'}));
form.append('file', file);

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('post', 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart&fields=id');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + accessToken);
xhr.responseType = 'json';
xhr.onload = () => {
    console.log(xhr.response.id); // Retrieve uploaded file ID.
};
xhr.send(form);

Request body :
In this script, form is as follows. This is sent to Google Drive using the create method of Drive API.
------WebKitFormBoundaryxX0XmxgooMjdUECR
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="metadata"; filename="blob"
Content-Type: application/json

{"name":"sampleName","mimeType":"text/plain","parents":["#####"]}
------WebKitFormBoundaryxX0XmxgooMjdUECR
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="blob"
Content-Type: text/plain

sample text
------WebKitFormBoundaryxX0XmxgooMjdUECR--

In my environment, I confirmed that this works fine. But if this didn't work in your environment, I'm sorry.

The following list is of explosive hazards that have featured in recorded Humanitarian Demining accidents and incidents. After some of these events it is not possible to identify the hazard with any confidence.
The list is rather shorter than you might expect. Other lists show all mines known to have been manufactured or offered for sale. This list gives a far more realistic picture of the predominant mine types in the ground and still active... I have perhaps seen three times as many types on my travels. Some were atrophied and inert, others were just easy to find safely, and some were on display in offices but never found in the field.
