israeli who was shot. so what we have here is a clear picture of what is happening within the region. not only as a conflict in the occupied west bank in occupied east jerusalem, but also very clearly the fault lines within israel itself becoming stretched by in this ongoing conflict. br* all right, mike, thank you for that update from west jerusalem. well, the israeli government is responding to the escalating violence with increased security measures. it's erected a temporary wall in an area of occupied east jerusalem. dividing the jewish and palestinian parts of the neighborhood. it's also passed a strict new law allowing security force to his so muc search people and thr belongings even if they are not suspected of being armed. now, the tension was sparked over fears israel will change

kind of confrontation and senseless loss of life. >> from the center of conflict resolution at george mason in the u.s., he believes there is no enough cooperation between the two sides to find a solution to the drie crisis. >> because the peace process was ended, because the current israeli cabinet is so radical. there was a sense among the population that there is no hope and there is no peace process and there is no negotiations. and there is no conversation right now between abbas and netanyahu. that must change. and there must be an opening that is worthwhile for whole sides to pursue in terms of nonviolence, and also in materials of substantive progress in the relationship, but especially addressing the concerns of the jerusalem residents that there is an increasing encroachment on the rights of palestinians with regard to the a al-aqsa mosque. but we have to be careful of cat
rail elements on both sides that would like to see a third inning aintifada. thousands of refugees have been arriving at the croatian border trying to cross in to slovenia. they have changed their route to western europe after hungary sealed its border over the weekend. >> reporter: in the dark of night and the rain they walk west. their final destination unknown. all trying for find re refuge in inter in europe. >> in 10 days we would have 35,000 migrants in slovenia which is unacceptable for us. >> reporter: in this nomad's lan. police fire shots in the air. officers tell them to wait behind barbed wire fences. croatia says more than 200,000 people have arrived from serbia in the last month. hungary and several other former communist states have already closed their borders.

germany says it's expecting at least 1 million asylum spea sees this year, but making it to these countries don't not mean they will be able to start their new lives. a clean up is underway at typhoon koppu swept three. 60,000 people forced to leave their homes the winds are now weakening, it is expected to be classified as a tropical storm by the end of the day. in the northern philippines we have an update. >> reporter: we are in -- [ inaudible ] in northern philippines. when tie few koppu struck early sunday morning this, has been inning as he can i believeinacc. we were trying to get across here yesterday but we were unable because of chest-deep
water. power is still out. no electricity, no running wat water. you can see rice farms turned in to swamps. this is the rice capital of the country. the impact of the typhoon is still unknown. so many areas like this one where they have been just basically cut off from the rest of the world. we are trying to get to another area now further north called aurora province. their communication has been difficult since the typhoon struck, government resources are stretched at the moment. it's hard to quantify the damage. right now the biggest problem is infrastructure. separatists in indian-administered cas kashmire called for a complete shutdown. the death of a plus lick truck helper on sunday. petrol bombs were lob odd his vehicle following rumors that cows had been slaughtered in the area.

which has received renewed interest in recent weeks and months from the western indian state where the commercial activity surrounding beef were banned and you have seen a decade's old court order reinstitute ed in indian administered kashmir only to be repeopled or suspend today two months. the northern state seeing some key sensitivities around this issue in recent weeks. an issue that has sparked a huge amount of national debate across country with many social and cultural as well as political tenants which have proven to be very important. >> yeah, and speaking of the politics behind this, some saying that the ruling party's statements think provocative. where does the government go next? >> reporter: just on the point of the provocativeness that some have suggested in terms of comments or commentary by various leaders in the b.j. p reports suggest that go prime
minister mod mod i has been unhy with these comments and they have been asked to take stock of this situation and the messages be put out there on behalf of the party. however the prime minister and other senior party leaders have condemned the attacks saying there needs to be communal harmony and things need to be done to change the situation on the ground. however, observers, activists, various people across the indian community saying perhaps these messages report strong enough and certainly not strong enough to stop the fringe hindu groupings from continuing this campaign and potentially continuing these attacks. and that's where this debate continues to rage across india. >> okay, thank you for that update from new delhi. still ahead on al jazeera. >> reporter: i am tania page reporting from south africa where 10s of thousands of former gold miners now suffering from silicosis want to launch what could be africa's biggest

while i am reporting i feel believe what i do. it shouldn't matter if a wear a head scarf or no. >> reporter: her experiences are becoming commonplace across iraq. 77% of those surveyed suffered some form of sexual harass think. often in public. the record levels of sexual harassment and intimidation iraqi women face has without a doubt, seriously affected their ability to participate in public life. but this hasn't always been the case. historically iraqi women and girls have had more rights than women in other country as cross the middle east, women were formally granted equal right's in iraq's constitution in the 1970s, allowing them to go to school, vote, run for political office and own property. that all began to change after the 1991 gulf war with the united states. women and girls were disproportionately affected by the conflict and the united nations economic sanctions that followed limited their access to
food, healthcare and education. the u.s.-led invasion in two number three worsened the situation dramatically. hannah is campaign to go change that, she runs a women's rights group called the iraqi.

there is a glimmer of hope. he could peace -- peace could return after talks in geneva this month. the last round of talks held in nba june failed. fighting continues on the ground. houthis have attacked a residence shop area in the city of taiz, seven people injured among them women and children. the german foreign minister says sanctions against iran are likely to remain in place until at least january. speaking in teheran, he said the world powers that negotiated the nuclear deal with iran first need to see whether it will stick to its commitments. agreement came to effect on sunday. u.s. president barack obama has also been talking about the deal. >> the iran nuclear deal solves a specific problem which is making sure that they don't possess a nuclear weapon. and it's our best way to do that. it does not fully resolve the wide range of issues where we have a big difference. and so we are going to have to
continue to put pressure on them through the international community. people have been protest on this streets of india's capital new delhi after two young children were raped. student and opposition activists confronted police bare days, a toddler was rained and eye five-year-old gang rain ed in two separate up dents, two people have been aest reasonable doubt in tex with the rapes. 10s of thousands of miners in south africa battle to go get a class action case against the gold industry heard in court miners saying they contracted lung disease while working under ground and they want compensation. if their lawyers succeed it could be one of the biggest lawsuits of its kind. at that january pagtania page r. >> reporter: the hill behind him is a waste dump from the mine he used to work in he feels as if he's i byproduct now too. he says during his 27 years of gold mining he breathe ed in too
much silica dust and developed sill coast discuss tuberculosis. in 1999 he was declared too sick for work and laid off with a little compensation. >> they just went our hands and. [ inaudible ] and then demanded -- they didn't want to give us the money. they give us is change. >> reporter: he is one of thousands of former gold minders trying to launch a mass class action against their former employers. it could be the biggest lawsuit of its kind in africa. it's take ow taken years to gets points now the miners are finally having their time in court. but they may not find out if they have been successful until next year. if they fail to have the class action recognized, smaller groups of minders would have to fight for compensation individually. the gold industry says it does recognize it's responsible and wants to establish some form of compensation fund but it's opposing a class action which
could create hundreds of thousands of potential claimants. >> the companies are not acknowledging negligence, but as i said previously they do recognize it as an issue which a range of actions need to be taken to find a comprehensive solution that will lead it a fair outcome for employees. but also an outcome that is sustainable for the industry. >> reporter: it's too late for her, she still has her husband's medical records. so this is the first time silicosis is mentioned in 1986 and it says he's been -- he died two years ago. >> translator: it's painful because we lost people that we care about. but there is nothing we can do about that. >> reporter: she says no amount of money will make her happy again, but like thousands of other families, it would make life easier. tania page, al jazeera, south africa. >> farc rebels have agreed with
a colombian government to search for the remains of people missing for more than 50 years of fighting. the recovery of bodies from unmarked graves is one of the last remaining issues to be resolved in peace talks. >> translator: today an agreement was reached on a number of immediate confidence buildings measures that consist of the search location identification and dignified hands over of people gone missing in the context of the armed conflict. mess measures will be implemented immediately. thousands of demonstrators have marched for a second night demanding the government step down, opposition supporters gathered throwing stoned at police. demonstrators are calling for early elects and the prime -- and the resignation of the prime minister who has been in power since the early 1990s. right wing parties have made big gains in switzerland's parliamentary. immigration is the major topic
for voters who have expressed concern about the refugees crisis facing europe. last year they approved a referendum limiting the number of immigrants from the e you e.. canadiens goal to the polls in the coming hours it's a contest between three parties. the ruling conservatives under stephen harper have been in power for almost a decade. the election will be a test of harper's right wing approach that opponents say has eroded canada's progressive values. the main rival is the liberal party left by justin trudeau, the liberals are ahead in opinion polls he's the son of the former prime minister pierre trudeau. and the third contender the new democrats a least leading party. they were second last year. but polls indicate now they will be third. canada's indigenous people are being urged to vote in the elect, they represent 3% of the population. many of them don't want to take part as daniel lak explains.
>> reporter: election signs are not typically found on first nations, as aboriginal communities are known here, the term explains why, indigenous people se see themselves as a nation, separate from canada, equal partners coexisting in north america. in past elections few voted or took part at all. >> but because i am not canadian. nobody has proven to me if you are not a canadian you can vote. if somebody comes from the united states can they come in and vote? >> reporter: but this time first nations people are being told to vote by their own elected leaders. because of the feeling in their community that the stephen harper government has done little to address their challenges. unemployment, crime, lack of clean water. >> i have decided to vote and i actually voted in an advanced poll the other day thinking that i need to be an example to our people. to let them know that i believe that exercising this option to vote is in our best interests at
this time. >> reporter: two years ago the idle no more movement galvanized indigenous groups with nationwide protests, there was a long hunger strike by chief teresa expense in the shadow of canada's parliament. not protests have faded but the anger behind them now fires efforts to get aboriginal people to exercise a democratic right they only got in 1960. a century after voting began in canada. >> 50 years ago they gave us the vote. wwe view that as a tick tackle error in their war of attrition, now we can use the vote as a weapon against them. it's a powerful form of resistance. >> reporter: in dozens of constituency across the country aboriginal voters could swing a close result and that could mean a change in government. whether it means a change for the community in general, that's far from guaranteed. perhaps sensing an opportunity, canada's two main opposition parties say they will work with
aboriginal people on all outstanding issues. >> you can't trust them. and that's what i have been telling people don't just accept the politician who comes to your door and says i am promising you better relationship. what is that? it's gotta be real, life commitments that you can hold them to. >> reporter: whether or not it's in this election aboriginal people statistically the youngest, fastest growing segment of canada's population may yet have their invoiced heeded after centuries of waiting. daniel lak, al jazeera, in northern ontario. french police have carried out an operation seizing 7,000 can he kilos of canopies in paris, it was hid then three vans and seized in an effluents part of the french capital. president francois hollande attend a news conference thanking the officers involved. it's the biggest drug operation
in 10 years thought to be worth $22 million. hundreds of koreans septembekorean separatedby the . 65,000 other south koreans are still waiting on a waiting list to meet their loved ones in the north. harry fawcett is where a chosen few are preparing to cross the board never to north korea for that rare meeting. >> reporter: this is the hotel lobby where the nearly 400 south korean family members had been contacted think it's been a room full of incredible individual stories penalized -- personal lives changed forever by the huge immaterial personal forces of histories. among the stories i will share within of them with you. the story of 84-year-old she had been married for just seven months, she was three months pregnant when her husband went
missing. he was part of the south korean military. he went off on what they thought would be military training but in the confusion of the korean war, he simply never came home. she assumed that he died. she had paid tribute to him every year since, she looked after his parents, she raised the son who was still unborn at the time of his disappearance, now she says she's kept with her all of that time a pair of his sold shoes saying her whole life was contained in those shoes, absence of that man. that's brought with hirscher now 64-year-old son, he is talking about being able tomorrow brace both of these parents for the first time. the sent of pride that he had finally finding out that he had a father. so when you hear an old man talking in those sorts of terms of almost a young boy you get a sense of the emotional power that's around this place at the moment. it all gets underway in proper on tuesday when they travel to the north korean resort, they will meet their relatives six
separate times over the space of two hours each. and then that will be it. they'll come back to south korea. just a reminder that you can keep up-to-date wall latest news on our website, you'll find it all at aljazeera.com. there it is on your screen. aljazeera.com. >> each year, nearly 12 million arrests are made in the united states. >> is this pretty full for you guys? >> no, no this is just average, i guess you could say. >> okay. >> that's the population of los angeles and new york combined, booked into thousands of local jails. >> do you know how long some of these men have been held here? >> mmmm. i don't, off the top of my head, i don't. >> okay.

A Maine native probes the rodents' decision-making process for her Ph.D. dissertation.
An analysis of fox squirrels on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, by psychologist Mikel Delgado found that the rodents consider several variables when deciding whether to store food. Squirrels assess the characteristics of food they find, such as its perishability and nutritional value. They also consider the availability of food at that time and the presence or absence of competitors.
"What's cool is that these animals are solving problems right under our feet and most people don't realize it," said Delgado, whose Ph.D. dissertation was on the complexity of squirrel behavior.
Delgado, a Maine native, said she has always been obsessed with animals and was interested in better understanding what they do instinctively in the wild. She has a background in cognition, which deals with problem-solving, memory and thinking, and had worked with pigeons and zebrafish. For her graduate work, she wanted to study the behavior of animals living in their natural environment. She also wanted to do research that would help people understand that animals – different as they are from humans – have complicated problems to solve.
Undergraduate assistant Simon Campo spent 21/2 years helping the research lab. He said the different personalities of the squirrels sometimes made the field work challenging.
Larder-hoarding animals put large amounts of food in one spot that they must defend, while scatter-hoarding animals, such as some songbirds and Delgado's squirrels, hide their food in different places.


Tracy Daugherty takes a break from writing to spend quality time with his cats, Willie and Alice. Daugherty's new book is a biography of the Texas writer Billy Lee Brammer. He'll read from the book Tuesday night at Grass Roots Books & Music.
As a Texas teenager harboring thoughts about becoming a writer, Tracy Daugherty knew about Billy Lee Brammer.
"He became this mythic figure in Texas," Daugherty said of Brammer, a journalist who attracted the attention of then-Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson and eventually joined Johnson's staff in Washington, D.C.
In Washington, Brammer wrote "The Gay Place," a well-regarded political novel inspired by Johnson, but the author paid a price for it: The book shattered his relationship with Johnson. Later, Brammer, with Texas friends like singer Janis Joplin, played a role in the burgeoning psychedelic scene in Austin and then San Francisco. But Brammer died too young, at age 48, from a methamphetamine overdose.
For younger writers like Daugherty, the Brammer story always was offered as a cautionary tale of a gifted artist who went astray. But the story, as befits Texas, was larger than life, and it intrigued Daugherty — but he figured that it would be hard to interest a publisher in such a Texas-centric story.
In 2012, though, Daugherty met Brammer's daughter Sidney, and she kept insisting that the Corvallis writer was just the person to write her father's story.
"I really resisted for a long time," Daugherty said this week in an interview in his home.
But, finally, he gave in. "This is too good a story to pass up," he said. "It is a great story."
It didn't take long to see that Brammer's story illuminated some of the same cultural and literary themes that emerge in some of Daugherty's other biographies, in which he examines the work and times of writers like Donald Bartheme, Joseph Heller and Joan Didion.
But where Didion, for example, wasn't particularly cooperative with Daugherty, Brammer's family was accommodating.
"The family was very open and very honest," he said. "They didn't try to hide any of the ugly parts of the story."
And the research gave Daugherty a chance to occasionally rub shoulders with Texas music and literary royalty. He recalls attending a party at the house of songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker that was filled with old friends of Brammer's. Daugherty turned on his tape recorder and let it run, but it was almost too much: "I couldn't possibly keep up with all that," he said. "I couldn't keep up with the 80-year-olds."
Daugherty said the book already is generating reaction. Some readers who were fans of Brammer's often-satirical journalism for publications like the Texas Observer are pleased to see the author return to the spotlight. Others are happy to see "The Gay Place," considered one of the best political novels of its day, getting long-overdue attention. "I'm hearing from those who believe that it's about time the novel got its due," Daugherty said.
Brammer wrote hundreds of pages of a possible sequel to "The Gay Place," but it never took off, for various reasons. Daugherty has one theory why it didn't click: Brammer killed off the character inspired by Johnson at the end of 'The Gay Place," and without that inspiration, the pages of the sequel just don't quite spark into life.
Brammer lived in a time, like today, that was marked by conflict and division, but Daugherty thinks those kinds of labels oversimplify the story: "It was a very fluid time of experimentation, socially and culturally and politically." And even though his story takes a decidedly dark turn, Brammer personifies that type of experimentation.
"Even though those times are very different, I am a believer that history does help us in the present," he said. ... "The culture wares of that period are the very same ones that we are debating now. These things are not new."
WHAT: Tracy Daugherty, reading from his new book, "Leaving the Gay Place: Billy Lee Brammer and the Great Society"

Honoring Mother's 'Day', Sumerian Style:
And Breakfast of Makhlama for Mom
مخلمة بالبتيتة
In the third millennium BC, a Sumerian guy, whose name was Ludingirra, sends a letter to his Mom, who lives in Nippur, an ancient Sumerian city south of today's Baghdad. This ancient Sumerian record was written in cuneiform on a clay tablet. It was composed in the form of a poem. The following text is based on Samuel Kramer's History Begins at Sumer (pp. 333-35).
Addressing the courier, Ludingirra says:
Royal Courier, ever on the road,
I would send you to Nippur, Deliver this message.
I have traveled a long way,
My mother is troubled, unable to sleep.
She, in whose chamber there is never any angry word,
Keeps asking all travelers after my welfare.
Put my letters of greeting into her hand.
And since the courier has not met his mother before, Ludingirra gives him five signs to identify her. Although admittedly none of these signs would be the equivalent of today's Driver's License ID for instance, they do certainly portray a loving image of an ideal mother. Here are some excerpts:
A detail (Museum of fine Arts, Boston)
Her name is Shat-Ishtar,
A figure that is radiant,
My mother is a bright light of the horizon, a mountain deer,
The morning star shining bright,
An angel of alabaster, set on a lapis lazuli pedestal,
My mother is rain in its season, water for the prime seed,
A rich harvest.
A garden of plenty, full of delight,
A well-watered fir tree, adorned with fir cones,
Fruit of the New Year, the yield of the first month,
My mother is a feast, an offering full of rejoicing,
A New Year offering awesome to behold.
A dancing place made for much joy,
A lover, a loving heart, whose joy is inexhaustible.
The letter ends with:
"Ludingirra, your beloved son gives you greetings."
A limestone relief I first saw at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It depicts a deportation scene of captive women from Babylonia. Defying the threatening stick of the enemy guards at the far right of the image, the mother dared stop to give her child a sip of water. A humanizing tender spot in the midst of cruelty.
Breakfast of Makhlama for Mom
Iraqi Omelet
Makhlama is what is known in other Arab countries as 'ujja/ 'agga (and other variants) and in the Western world as omelet. It is a dish with a long history. The extant medieval Arabic cookbooks include a generous number of omelet recipes, with and without meat. When made into a disc, they called it 'ujja mudawwara (عجة مدورة); and when scrambled it was called 'ujja mubahthara (عجة مبحثرة) or makhluta (مخلوطة). When the eggs were left on top, sunny side up, the omelet was called narjisiyya (نرجسية), i.e. looking like narcissus flower, with its colors of yellow, white and green (of herbs used). According to a recipe, the yolk was poked with knife, and lightly mixed with the white to give it a marbled look.
Here is a very interesting recipe from Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's 10th-century cookbook كتاب الطبيخ (Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens, my English translation, Chapter 73):
Iraqi leeks (Kurrath), photo: Kok Robin, Rotterdam
Slice the meat and chop it to pieces, but do not make them too small. Use some suet with it, too. Cook the meat with the green stalks of fresh onion and table leeks (kurrath, somewhat similar to garlic chives), leave them whole. Spread the stalks on top of the meat. Season the meat with salt, olive oil, a bruised piece of cassia and another of galangal. Add as well coriander seeds and a small amount of cumin if wished.
Break eggs on the [spread] meat, enough to cover the whole face of the frying pan, which by the way, should be of stone. Let the eggs look like eyes.
Put the pan as it is on a reed tray and insert a sprig of rue in the midst of the yolk of each egg. Drape the pan with a big thin sheet of bread (lavash bread, markouk) making a hole in the middle as big as the circumference of the pan. This is to hide the blackness of the outside of the pan when it is presented at the table.
Rue plant
(A note on rue: Despite its unpleasant taste and smell, this herb was essential in medieval dishes as garnish because they believed that it had the power to combat flatulence and that chewing it after eating onion and garlic helped remove the unpleasant breath they cause. But they had it in extreme moderation.
Today in Iraq we still cook this egg dish pretty much the same way, with and without meat. It makes a very convenient side dish or a sandwich for brunch, light supper, or a picnic lunch. The recipe I choose here is the vegetarian version with cubed potatoes and herbs. The version with spinach is equally tasty (recipe in my Delights from the Garden of Eden, p. 192).
The recipe for Iraqi Omelet with Potatoes and Herbs is available in my website.
So here is to all mothers, past, present, and future!

Passive House Grows on Campus
Wheaton College in Massachusetts has opened the largest Passive House residence Hall in New England.
By Kate Starr, Richard Lucht
PHOTO COURTESY OF COMMODORE BUILDERS
For years colleges and universities have been looking to find new and innovative ways to attract students. What students find most appealing is not necessarily the same now as in the past and may not be the same in the future, but one thing is clear today: students want their campuses to be environmentally friendly and utilize sustainable practices on a daily basis.
That's why colleges like Wheaton College in Norton, MA, are focused on carefully and significantly reducing their carbon footprint in constructing and operating new buildings. Students are demanding this type of environmental responsibility, and many prospective students have even made it a key decision point in their final college selection process.
For several decades, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S Green Building Council has been the gold standard in rating environmentally responsible or "green" buildings. Today a lesser known standard, Passive House, is gaining more attention—especially from college facility planners thinking about constructing a new residence hall.
Passive House, a building standard that takes direct aim at improving energy efficiency and used for decades in single-family home construction, is now being used in new residence halls. Wheaton College's new residence hall is the first large-scale Passive House dormitory in New England and just opened for this fall semester.
The Wheaton Passive House residence hall is expected to use 70 percent less energy than it would if built in a traditional manner. It is also designed to utilize solar panels (not yet installed) to produce 75 percent of its own power in the future.
The Goal of Passive House
The goal of Passive House is to build structures that are designed with the intent of creating a continuous, airtight, adiabatic envelope to increase energy efficiency and decrease the environmental footprint.
Both Passive House and LEED can be used for all types of buildings and projects. While Passive House focuses primarily on energy efficiency, LEED certification includes several categories aimed at promoting a greener building overall. LEED evaluation criteria are: location and transportation, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation.
Passive House, like LEED, focuses on a cradle-to-grave outlook, and gives preference to locally sourced materials and materials that have a low carbon footprint in their acquisition, procurement, and eventual disposal.
However, one of the major differences between LEED and Passive House is that LEED is prescriptive, while Passive House is performance-based. LEED provides a checklist to be followed during design, and as long as the appropriate boxes on the list are followed, the building can be certified. Even if the Passive House structure is built to the Passive House design specifications, if the building can't pass the air-tightness tests at the end of construction, the building won't be certified. Being required to prove that both the design and the constructed building meet Passive House Institute U.S. requirements adds to the importance of close coordination from design through to project completion.
Passive House Standards and Benefits
It is important to note that Passive House standards are location- and climate-specific, meaning that a building in New England is constructed with different climate needs than a building in Southern California—contributing to each building's comfort level.
Since Passive House focuses so intently on energy conservation, the long-term savings for colleges and institutions in terms of energy usage and money may be greater than a LEED-certified building.
A significant added benefit of a Passive House structure is the consistency of the temperature throughout the entire space. Frequently some rooms in residence halls will be too warm, so students may open the windows while those in another part of the building are cold. Passive House maintains the entire building at a constant temperature, and it doesn't take much adjustment in the HVAC system to go from 68 to 70 degrees.
As a result, residents are less likely to complain about a room being too hot or too cold. In the case of a Passive House-constructed residence hall, this can mean fewer maintenance calls and, therefore, a possible reduction in maintenance costs.
A Passive House Plan at Wheaton College
In planning for a new residence hall, Wheaton College officials sought to build a high-performance structure as part of the college's overall commitment to sustainability. A project-planning committee member mentioned having heard about Passive House, which prompted college officials to learn more and pursue Passive House early in the design phase.
The Wheaton Passive House residence hall, a new 45,000-square-foot, four-story steel-and-plank building with an approximately 12,000-square-foot footprint, added 178 new beds to the campus and enabled the college to promote its commitment to environment and sustainability.
Five main principles were integrated into the design of the new residence hall at Wheaton:
Solar orientation
High insulation
High-performance windows
Airtight enclosures
Balanced ventilation with heat recovery
With these principles in mind, triplepane windows, special doors and molding, extra-thick walls, and insulation meeting the Passive House standard for the New England climate were all used in the Wheaton residence hall.
While the building doesn't look much different from a traditional type of residence hall, the exterior doors are a little heavier, and careful observers might notice the triple-paned windows or, standing at the window, that the building walls are thicker. Unlike traditional radiator locations on the window wall, the heating and cooling units in each of the Wheaton residence hall rooms are placed on the wall opposite the windows.
A factor that made the construction at Wheaton more complex was the fact that the first floor of the new building was planned as a campus-wide community space—and therefore was not designed to be Passive Housecertified. This created a unique set of challenges in wrapping the building to ensure the upper three floors were airtight. Think of it as if the top three floors were put in a Ziplock bag, which had to be connected to another Ziplock bag that was left partially open.
A Collaborative Process
The Passive House construction process itself necessitates close collaboration. The entire design and construction team on the project, including SGA architects, Commodore Builders, Thorton Tomasetti Passive House consultants, all of the subcontractors, and the Wheaton College facilities management team needed to be in lock-step throughout the planning and construction process, and everyone continually crosschecked with each other throughout.
Advanced Building Analytics, the firm responsible for rating the project according to Passive House criteria, typically runs tests at the beginning, various points during, and the end of construction. To ensure the building would attain Passive House certification, Advance Building Analytics also attended meetings with the full design team and subcontractors throughout. Though this firm was directly engaged by the college, Wheaton officials were also eager to take all steps necessary to ensure successful Passive House certification on this time-sensitive construction project.
Although upfront costs could be higher, there is no question that there are long-term benefits to both Passive House and LEED. For colleges seeking to capitalize on the latest trend to attract students while maximizing these savings, Passive House is definitely an option that should be considered for residence halls.
PASSIVE HOUSE ON CAMPUS
Other on-campus Passive House facilities previously featured in College Planning & Management include The House at Cornell Tech in New York City on Roosevelt Island. The House at Cornell Tech is the world's tallest Passive House. The 352-unit apartment building rises to 26 stories. In addition, also profiled was TerraHaus on the campus of Unity College in Unity, ME. Another residence hall on a smaller scale than the Cornell Tech facility, TerraHaus houses 10 students in a mix of single and double rooms and has a kitchen, dining room, living room, and mudroom. Students who live in TerraHaus are expected to live an energy-efficient lifestyle and to be knowledgeable about the building's energy performance.
PASSIVE HOUSE INSTITUTE US
Passive House Institute US, Inc. (PHIUS, www.phius.org) is committed to making high-performance passive building the mainstream market standard.
PHIUS released the PHIUS+ 2015 Passive Building Standard in March 2015, the only passive building standard on the market based upon climate-specific comfort and performance criteria. Developed in cooperation with Building Science Corporation under a U.S. Department of Energy grant, the PHIUS+ 2015 standard targets the sweet spot between investment and payback to present an affordable solution to achieving the most comfortable and cost-effective building possible and the best path for achieving zero energy and carbon. Buildings designed and built to this standard perform 60-85 percent better (depending on climate zone and building type) on an energy consumption basis when compared to a code-compliant building (International Energy Conservation Code IECC 2009).
PHIUS+ Certified and Pre-Certified projects now total more than 2.5 million square feet across 2,300 units nationwide. The cost-optimized PHIUS+ 2015 Standard is spurring new growth in passive buildings from coast to coast.

In Prometheus, I see that the endpoint is scraped, and the endpoint contains the fccid parameter. But the parameter is not written/kept as label.
I'm trying different things since yesterday (labelkeep, keep, replace, labelmap, relabel_configs) and nothing worked.
Is the metric_relabel_configs not working for http_sd_configs?

A: I've found the answer. I had to use relabel_configs instead of metric_relabel_configs.
Thank you @Michael Hausenblas . I was trying first known parameters and configs (internet) to adopt it.

[solved] Since updating world, cannot connect to wifi.
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 5:06 pm Post subject: [solved] Since updating world, cannot connect to wifi.
I've tried different kernel versions, different networkmanager versions, different firmware versions, but nothing does it.
The driver & firmware are loaded.
And I can see the networks, I just cannot connect to them. I can connect to these same networks using a systemrescuecd bootable usb on the same computer.
I use plasma-nm in KDE and nm-applet in xfce with identical results.
Yes, another drawback of dbus networkmanager and trying to debug it.
Not sure if you tried this yet but try removing the security key (WEP/WPA) profiles and recreating them. I had that happen to me once, but not sure if this is the same as your problem or not.
Once I connected to the wifi at work, I knew something was borked at home. I reset the router, and it worked.
Why it stopped working right after I updated world is beyond me.
There are alternatives you know.
There are alternatives to indoor plumbing but I wouldn't use them.
I've tried other methods of managing wireless networks and all have had some fatal flaw.
thender ... except that this analogy conflates the generic method of water passing through pipes with the specific method of how it is put together and functions. Its the latter which "alternative methods" would consist of.
... or, to put it another way, your expectations about how such a thing *should* work has as its central thesis the method that NetworkManager provides. The "fatal flaw" in these "other methods" is, essentially, that they are not NetworkManager. Now, for the sake of argument lets say that your (subjective) criteria is correct, where does that leave the above authentication timeout, or my claim that NetworkManager doesn't do the things that my current method provides?

The purpose of the 2018 ACC/AHA Blood Cholesterol guideline is to address the practical management of patients with high blood cholesterol and related disorders. Since the 2013 ACC/AHA cholesterol guideline, newer cholesterol-lowering agents (non-statin drugs) have been introduced and subjected to randomized controlled trials, including ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors. Most patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease are treated with statins alone. This guideline pays consistent attention to a clinician–patient risk discussion for making shared decisions. This clinician–patient risk discussion can include other risk-enhancing factors, and when risk status is uncertain, a coronary artery calcium score is an option to facilitate decision-making in adults ≥40 years of age.


What started out as a small mock up for a mod idea led to the production of a full scale character. This maui warrior was built in xsi and zbrush and brought into the cryengine 2 where the screenshots were taken. The polycount sits at 10,000 tris with 2 x 1024 base texture maps.


It's done. In France, 31 tanks with Austrolebias are now outdoors in a shaded tunnel.
All fish were transferred in water of which about 50% is from their original tanks, and the rest aged tap water.
Tanks are in different sizes, and numbers of fish per tanks are so that it is easy to feed them: the amount to be fed is proportional to tank size.
13 Tanks have a breeding container now. More will follow. The species are A. elongatus (General Conesa, Vivorata, Ezeiza, Villa Soriano), prognathus (Salamanca), vazferreirai (Parque Rivera, Arroyo de las Viboras), viarius (Valisas), paucisquama (Sao Sepe), bellotti (Maschwitz, Villa Soriano), nigripinnis (San Juan Missiones, Maschwitz), melanoorus (R5KM399), robustus, charrua (Canal Andreoni, Ruta1316).

Loški Potok
The Municipality of Loški Potok is made up of 6 villages. They are characterised by karst landscapes and extensive pine forests.
1. Rhaetia Karst Depression
The Rhaetia karst depression is an elongated valley with a wide base and steep forested slopes and can be described as one of the most beautiful karst depressions in Slovenia. At the base of the valley lies the village of Retje and narrow plots that complement the scenic pattern traverse the valley. The churches of St. Florian and St. Leonard mark the valley on both sides. The landscape is interesting during every season, as with each one it displays a new face: the spring grass in the pattern of narrow plots, haystacks laid out during the first cutting and churning waters bubbling from springs on the outskirts of the valley, which come alive with the rains and turn the village into an island.
2. Tabor
Tabor is an elevated point above Hrib where the parish church of St. Leonard, with its mighty bell tower, and the smaller church of St. Barbara, surrounded by a cemetery, both stand. From Tabor, there is a beautiful view of the meadows and the Rhaetia depressions. Prehistoric pottery has been discovered on Tabor. At the time of the Turks, there was a fortified outpost or tabor (camp) surrounding the church and that is how the hill got its name. The Baroque church of St. Leonard was built at around 1670. During the last renovation, it received a new organ. Although St. Barbara is stated to be from 1673, it is actually older than St. Leonard.
3. Kaličeva jelka
This fir tree (jelka) grows next to the Draga–Glažuta road. The circumference of the trunk measures 387cm, the diameter is 123cm, height is 46m, volume 22m³ and the age of the tree is about 220 years.
4. "Intermittent" Meadows
This field is located at the sinkhole of the Loški Potok stream below the village of Travnik. During heavy rainfall, the water will flood the field before disappearing into the karst underground.

FERGIE BELIEVES
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he has complete faith in youngster Federico Macheda, whose loan spell with Premier league club QPR has been cut short due to an injury.
He has now returned to Manchester United will be undergoing treatment in order to return when the pre-season begins in the summer. Federico Macheda was signed by former QPR manager Neil Warnock in a move which was seen as the last hope for the Italian, who has failed to impress Sir Alex Ferguson in various loan spells. However, Ferguson has reiterated that he has complete faith in Macheda even though his loan spell has been cut short.
Immediately after the arrival of Macheda, Neil Warnock was sacked as the QPR manager. His replacement, Mark Hughes, has not seen Macheda as someone who can lead the line at the relegation threatened club. This coupled with the arrival of a number of players like Cisse has meant that the opportunities have been limited for Macheda. Now, the long term injury suffered by the Italian has prematurely brought an end to the loan spell. Ferguson revealed that Macheda will be undergoing surgery in order to recover from the injury problem.

HUGHES WILL REVIEW MACHEDA TWEET
QPR manager Mark Hughes has said that he will be looking at the tweet made by QPR striker Federico Macheda after the match against Everton recently. Federico Macheda made an abusive comment after being left out of the squad that was set to face Everton.
QPR came into the match against Everton knowing that they should make use of their home matches much better than they have done in recent past. However, manager Mark Hughes was coming under intense pressure after failing to change the fortunes of the club after arriving at the start of the January transfer window and spending heavily to spice up the team.
Mark Hughes has only two wins out of the eight matches he has been manager of QPR. This abysmal record would have provided Everton with a major hope of getting something from the fixture at Loftus Road. However, they were disappointed as QPR managed to come into the match and claimed a credible draw. Federico Macheda was not part of the QPR side that took on Everton at the Loftus Road.

MACKIE MAKES AN IMPRESSION
QPR striker Jamie Mackie has said that fellow QPR striker Cissé will find it hard to get back into the first-team due to his good form. Jamie Mackie scored twice for QPR in the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers last weekend. Even though it did not help QPR to get anything from the match, it at least showed Mark Hughes that he has a striker who is capable of putting the ball in the back of the net. Scoring goals has been a major problem for QPR under Neil Warnock, and it is a problem that has grown under Mark Hughes.
The arrival of Jamie Mackie up front, though, is expected to solve the problems for QPR at least now. The London club spent heavily on bringing in several players during the January transfer window. It has been estimated that they have spent close to around £ 15 million in the January transfer window alone, with the owner promising even more significant funds in the summer. Most of the players who have been signed by QPR now are strikers, which clearly shows the priority for the remainder of the season. The promise shown by Jamie Mackie will be extremely delightful for manager Mark Hughes.
"I was delighted to be up front too as I haven't been playing there much. I'll play wherever I'm told, but I feel my best position is up front, and that is where I can benefit the team most. When you spend a long time on the sidelines like I did, you get to work on other parts of your game, and I did spend a lot of time working in the gym," Jamie Mackie said after the match against Blackburn. QPR will be up against Fulham in their next match.

FERNANDES WANT MORE FIGHT
QPR owner Tony Fernandes has said that he wants to see more fight from the players over the next few matches. QPR owner Tony Fernandes sacked manager Neil Warnock and appointed former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes in his place.
Even more than the appointment, the transfer funds promised by the Malaysian owner surprised a lot of people. He initially promised a transfer budget of around £ 20 million. Those who were expecting false promises from the new QPR owner were disappointed after the London club spent approximately around £ 15 million in strengthening the squad in various departments.
Players like Nedum Onuoha, Cisse, Taye Taiwo, and Federico Macheda arrived in the January transfer window. Big things were expected of QPR following the arrival of these players. However, the reality of the situation has been totally different, as Mark Hughes has been unable to get the results so far.
This has led to intense speculation that Mark Hughes may be relieved of his post in the summer. This is because it will be the second time the former Chelsea player would have failed with significant transfer budget at his disposal unlike at Blackburn Rovers and Fulham.

MACHEDA HAS A NEW MANAGER
Federico Macheda arrived on loan to his new club QPR and immediately found himself at the mercy of new manager Mark Hughes. Immediately upon his arrival, QPR decided to sack the man who was responsible for bringing him to London in the first place – Neil Warnock.
However, the Italian has said that he simply wants to impress Sir Alex Ferguson more than anybody else and will be looking to work harder for QPR over the next few months. Mark Hughes will certainly be taking a look at Federico Macheda given that QPR have been struggling to score goals at home this season.
The six-month loan deal will provide Federico Macheda with a great opportunity to show Sir Alex Ferguson that he is good enough to play in the Premier League. Despite spending the last two years out on loan, Federico Macheda is still relatively young at just 19 years of age. He knows that he needs to excel at QPR in order to get any chance of playing regularly at Manchester United.

MACHEDA NEEDS TO TAKE HIS CHANCE
Manchester United youngster Federico Macheda believes that he needs to step up his game if he is to have a future at The Red Devils. The 20 year old Italian has been loaned out by manager Sir Alex Ferguson to Queens Park Rangers so that he could learn the game under manager Neil Warnock.
But with the sacking of Warnock and the arrival of Mark Hughes as new manager, Sir Alex's plans seem to have gone astray. However, the Italy Under-21 international believes that it will not be a problem as Sparky, being a former Manchester United player having played under Sir Alex for 9 years, will know exactly the same as Sir Alex.
The youngster has endured a frustrating couple of years at Old Trafford after bursting onto the scene with the winning goal against Aston Villa in a 3-2 win in the dying minutes of the match, a game that went a long way in deciding the fate of the title that season. Macheda was sent out on loan to Italian club Sampdoria in January last season but he could not get enough games there and the club ended up being relegated.

MACHEDA JOINS QPR ON LOAN
Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has moved to QPR on a loan deal till the end of the season at the start of the January transfer window.
He was initially expected to become a first team regular at Manchester United after his goal scoring debut against Aston Villa in 2009. However, things have not worked out in the same way for the Italian. He has endured a frustrating spell at Manchester United recently and there has been talk of him moving away from the club permanently. He spent last season on loan at Italian club Sampdoria, but it has failed to make an impression on manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
As a result, the Italian has admitted that he will be considering his future when he completes his spell with QPR. In order to show his manager that he is capable of playing in the Premier league, Federico Macheda has stated that he will be stepping up his game another notch at QPR. QPR are in need of goals at the moment in order to get away from the relegation zone. Federico Macheda says that he is hoping that he will be the one to provide that. New manager Mark Hughes will be taking a look at Federico Macheda before deciding on the reinforcements required in the January transfer window.
"No, no, no, I don't worry. I couldn't help them stay in Serie A because the problem was another thing. The team did not work well and there was another situation different to here. In Italy everything is difficult and I never really played as well," he said when asked about his failure to keep Sampdoria from relegation. QPR are just one point above the drop zone and they are looking for only their second home win of the season.

Abstract: Ceratopsid dinosaurs represent one of the best known dinosaur groups in the Late Cretaceous, and their unquestionable fossil records are exclusively restricted to western North America. Here we report a new ceratopsid dinosaur, Sinoceratops zhuchengensis gen. et sp. nov., from the Upper Cretaceous Wangshi Group of Zhucheng, Shandong Province, China. Cladistic analysis places this new taxon as the only known ceratopsid from outside North America, in a basal position within the Centrosaurinae. It is considerably larger than most other centrosaurines but similar in size to basal chasmosaurines. Furthermore, it is more similar to chasmosaurines than to other centrosaurines in several features, thus blurring the distinction of the two ceratopsid subgroups. This new find not only provides significant information on the morphological transition from non-ceratopsid to ceratopsid dinosaurs, but also complicates the biogeography of the Ceratopsidae, and further demonstrates that fossil sampling has profound effects on reconstructing dinosaurian biogeography.

It was a year ago today that I founded leftcall.com, and coincidentally this is the 600th post on this blog. Well, I guess there's nothing really special about that number other than we humans like nice round numbers to celebrate. The Left Call was born as a re-launch of an existing blog, but this time with a full-time focus on political analysis with a liberal edge. The intention was and is to inject liberal values into important political and social issues. The launch of The Left Call coincided with the start of the 2012 election season and over the past year I've covered dozens, even hundreds of 2012 election stories, and it likely will only intensify with less than 3 months to go until election day.
First, if you are a regular reader I want to thank you for your loyalty! It's greatly appreciated.
It's a happy one year anniversary for this website! I started this site as "Indiscriminate Ruminations" on August 16, 2010 as a platform for writing about things that interest me. The most common topic over the next 11 months was technology with a frequency of posting measured in weeks and months.

Sécurité (; French: sécurité) (often repeated thrice, "Sécurité, sécurité, sécurité") is a procedure word used in the maritime radio service that warns the crew that the following message is important safety information. The most common use of this is by coast radio stations before the broadcast of navigational warnings and meteorological information.

Navigational warnings are issued regularly and usually give information about people or vessels in distress and objects or events that can be an immediate danger to people at sea and how they are navigating. In the United States, MARAD (Marine Administration) sends out infrequent advisories about potential global political climate dangers. There are four types of navigational warnings, which are categorized by their location. These areas are NAVAREA IV, HYDROLANT, NAVAREA XII, and HYDROPAC.

Meteorological information is information that is about the marine atmosphere.  These meteorological advisories include the development of weather systems such as and not limited to,  rain squalls, big tidal drops, major current shifts, lightning storms, hurricane and tsunami warnings, high winds, and cyclones.

It is normal practice to broadcast the Sécurité call itself on a distress and listening frequency such as VHF Channel 16 or MF 2182 kHz, and then change frequency to a working channel for the body of the messages. An equivalent Morse code signal is TTT, with each letter sent distinctly.

Although mostly used by coast radio stations, there is nothing to stop individual craft broadcasting their own Sécurité messages where appropriate, for example, a yacht becalmed (rendered motionless for lack of wind), or any vessel adrift or unable to manoeuvre near other craft or shipping lanes.

Mayday, pan-pan, sécurité
Of the three distress and urgency calls, Sécurité is the least urgent.

Sécurité: A radio call that usually issues navigational warnings, meteorological warnings, and any other warning needing to be issued that may concern the safety of life at sea, yet may not be particularly life-threatening.

Pan-pan: This is the second most important call.  This call is made when there is an emergency aboard a vessel, yet there is not immediate danger to life, or the safety of the vessel itself.  This includes, but is not limited to injuries on deck, imminent collision that has not yet occurred, or being unsure of vessel's position.

Mayday: This is the most important call that can be made, due to the fact that it directly concerns a threat to life or the vessel.  Some instances when this call would be made are, but not limited to death, collision, and fire at sea. When the Mayday call is made, the vessel is requiring immediate assistance.

Example usage
 Third on the list of calls, a Safety or Sécurité call takes priority of all communications besides distress and urgency. The DSC safety alert should not be acknowledged by voice, but merely listened to and noted. The proper etiquette for sending a safety alert is as follows: first, the DSC safety alert must be sent on Channel 16 VHF or at 2182 kHz instead of using a working channel or frequency.  Second, the targeted group must be selected, if necessary. This can be all ships, ships of a specific geographic area, or an individual ship. Lastly, the call should be made. GMDSS protocol requires that the safety call must be spoken to attract attention of the selected vessels. Procedure for the call is:

Without a break, continue on to the safety message:

Two more glimpses into the surreal underworld of our 'child protection' system.
PRACTICE GUIDELINES CITATION OF AUTHORITIES.
Again C4 are trying to cast the net wider in their investigations and would also be interested in talking to families whose children have been hurt, suffered abuse or mistreated in any way when they have been removed from their families into the care of SS. This care can either have been at the hands of foster carers or care homes.
We would hope to speak to those who have proof, through written documents, medical reports etc of this happening.

Saccomano: Working 'In the Kitchen'

Trevathan pulls in an interception during team drills.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --There is a saying that I have often used, to the effect that "the dining room is where you serve your guests, but the meal is prepared in the kitchen."
That is what the Broncos are doing right now.
Prepare for the draft, conduct the draft, sign undrafted college free agents, keep sniffing around in the veteran free agent market, conduct minicamps and OTAs.
All of these things, and more, make up the offseason.
And they all happen in the kitchen.
The Broncos are an exciting, well-coached team getting ready for the coming-out party that the NFL season represents.
And this is fine, but most fans are not thinking too much about the season right now.
Certainly, they are excited by the schedule and players, but every one is immersed in summer activities and other sports right now.
But the Broncos stay in the kitchen.
This is as it should be.
Not many people want to buy tickets to watch someone study a playbook or repeat the same drill over and over.
But that tedious work is what sets up the performance.
Just like live theater (as opposed to the movies, where they can keep shooting until it is deemed perfect), pro sports are live.
No retakes.
All you can do is slap hands and move on to the next play.
But the execution of every one of those plays was rehearsed on a practice field, in the weight room, and on many late nights with the lights down and video illuminating the room.
I have been fortunate to know John Elway since the beginning, and no one is any more competitive.
When you add the ingredients of John Fox and an intense staff, the über competitive Peyton Manning and a dynamic team, there is a very special prep period taking place right now.
But it is pretty much behind the scenes.
We look forward to the curtain going up, to moving it from the kitchen to the dining room!
By July, our fans will be banging their spoons on the proverbial table, ready for some NFL football.
At the highest level, which is the only level for which the Broncos prepare.

In our ongoing series of posts on California's penal code, we've tried to show that while the mountain of legalese you'll often have to climb to make any sense of the letter of the law can at some times be complicated and at other times be downright convoluted, this doesn't always have to be the case. In fact, if you break the law down into easy to digest parts and explain everything in sequence, it becomes easy to not only make sense of the law but also to figure out just how you're going to go about mounting your legal defense. With that said, in this post we're going to look at the charge of manufacturing drugs / narcotics / controlled substances. First we're going to explore some of the definitions involved, then we're going to look at the punishments that you can expect, and finally we're going to figure out what kind of legal defenses you can use to defend yourself in court. So let's get started with the definitions, shall we?
In super simple terms, this law just basically prohibits people from making drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances. Along with this, it prohibits even engaging in an activity that will lead to these things being manufactured. So even if you didn't participate in the actual manufacturing of the drug and actually just participated in one of the earlier steps involved, you can still in fact be convicted under this law. It's important to keep this in mind, as any sort of participation in the manufacturing process, however minor, still counts just as strictly as if you yourself were going through every step of the process to make these drugs. So now that we've gotten the definitions out of the way, let's move on to the punishments you'll be facing.
The bad news here is that the crime of manufacturing drugs / narcotics / controlled substances is actually punished as a felony. This means that, should you end up being convicted, you could be facing three, five, or seven years in county jail, as well as a maximum fine of a whopping $50,000. On top of that, if children live where you made the drugs, you could be facing a consecutive sentence of up to five years. You could face even longer charges if you're making meth, have prior convictions, or have committed other offenses while making the drugs. So now that we know the punishments, let's have a look at the legal defenses you can use.
There are a few defenses you can use when it comes to the charge of manufacturing drugs / narcotics / controlled substances. Among them, you can claim that your acts were only preparatory, that the drug lab was found during an illegal search, that you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or that you were the victim of a mistaken identity or false accusations.
If you're facing some kind of trouble, you know who to call.
And it's not Ghostbusters. Our firm has the legal experience and know-how to make sure that you get the best outcome for your trial. Just as we've concisely broken down the law and explained it in a way that makes a ton of sense, so too will we do a magnificent job when it comes to representing you in court. So if you're facing some kind of legal trouble, go ahead and get in touch with us today. You'll be glad you did.
