Recent US air strikes against militants in Somalia will do little to bring peace and security to the region, says leading UK-based international development agency Christian Aid.
US planes struck earlier this week in an attack on alleged Islamic military groups, some of whom are said to be members of an al-Qaeda cell, linked to the 1998 US embassy bombings in east Africa.
The air strikes took place just a few days after the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which had taken control of much of central and southern Somalia during the past six months, was routed by soldiers from Ethiopia and Somalia's transitional government – which is now in control of the capital, Mogadishu.
The African country has suffered from widespread banditry, violence and internecine conflict for many years, as well as periodic droughts and poor harvests.
Christian Aid, which is experienced in the region, says it fears that US military action will only crank up tension in the region and worsen the humanitarian problems faced by many communities.
Dereje Alemayheu, Christian Aid's east Africa programme manager, declared yesterday: "We believe military action is no substitute for a political process."
He continued: "The transitional government is only able to stay in power because of the presence of Ethiopian troops and this is not a sustainable situation."
"The situation in Somalia can only be resolved through a process of dialogue – a military response will not provide the solution", said Mr Alemayheu.
He added: "We strongly welcome statements by the EU calling for a revival of the peace process and a return to negotiations and we urge the Ethiopian and US governments to be extremely cautious before undertaking any further military action."
Mr Alemayheu said that only hours after the Union of Islamic Courts fled, militias loyal to warlords reappeared on the streets manning check-points they had previously used to terrorise and steal from the civilian population.
He also warned that foreign intervention could have implications beyond Somalia's borders. Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Eritrea all have strategic interests in events in Somalia – as does the US.

DNA tests on water samples provide glimpse into biodiversity on Canada's coastline

ABOARD THE MV POLAR PRINCE — DNA tests of water samples from Canada's three coastlines is providing unique and fascinating insights into the nation's marine biodiversity.
Scientists aboard the Canada C3 expedition's 67-meter icebreaker exploring the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific coastlines over 150 days have collected water samples at 93 sites, and run the samples through a genetic sequencer to see what lives there.
Preliminary results of the first 14 samples showed major signs of pink salmon — as well as their predators, grizzly and black bears and bald eagles — in Khutze Inlet in B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest, the only such discoveries to date.
Elsewhere in Canada, the results showed capelin off Terra Nova National Park in Newfoundland, Arctic cod and narwhal at Pond Inlet in Nunavut, Atlantic herring at Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, and salmon shark in Nome, Alaska.
Animals leave DNA evidence behind as they move through the water, including by shedding their hair, skin or scales as well as slime and mucous.
"When those cells are shed, most of them float to the surface," she said. The tests reveal the "genetic fingerprint" for that patch of water, or even farther depending on currents.
"This is really exciting," said Kristi Miller, a C3 participant and head of the molecular genetics lab at the federal Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo. "You have to be looking at the whole ecosystem and not just one species at a time. This technology can get you there."
Among the potential applications for "environmental DNA" technology include: the detection of species shifts due to climate change, such as southerly species displacing northern ones; determining the types of prey and predators in a given location; and the detection of invasive species such as in ports due to international shipping.
The emerging science could also help to resolve long-standing questions about the impact of farmed salmon on wild salmon in the Pacific.
"We can ask, are marine species attracted to active farming or not?" Miller said. "We can also look at the distribution of infectious agents in the water column. What kind … do we find around active salmon farms and how far away do we have to go before they dissipate? That kind of information is critical for developing regulations."
Research could also determine the extent to which salmon farms are being affected by wild fish, including herring which also carry salmon diseases.
"This is just a snapshot of what we can do," added Ben Sutherland, a post-doctoral fellow working with Miller. "The samples we have are super valuable. You can give them to a virologist or someone who studies marine mammals. There are multiple PhDs in analyzing the data."
Sampling water is a relatively cheap method of determining biodiversity and does not involve killing marine life for research purposes, Miller said.
The C3 expedition began June 1 in Toronto and is now on its 15th and final leg, a 10-day voyage from Campbell River to Victoria.
A total of 60 persons are on board the former Canadian Coast Guard research vessel, including crew, expedition staff and participants, who include scientists, politicians, chefs, musicians, journalists, explorers, artists, and youth ambassadors.

Report: Beirut strike will delay Hezbollah missile program by at least a year
Powerful planetary mixer used in creation of solid state fuel is said to have been destroyed in drone explosion; was reportedly flown in from Iran
By Judah Ari Gross	27 August 2019, 11:36 pm 4 Edit

The target of a drone attack on a Hezbollah facility in Beirut early Sunday that has been attributed to Israel was an expensive and rare industrial mixing machine used in the creation of solid fuel, and the raid set back the terror group's plans to develop long-range precision missiles by at least a year, according to Hebrew media reports late Tuesday.
In the predawn hours of Sunday morning, two copter-style drones flew into the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut. One crashed and was recovered by Hezbollah, while the other exploded while still in the air, causing damage and sparking a fire.
Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have blamed Israel for the drone strike. Israeli officials have refused to comment on the matter, and many analysts have suggested the drones were Iranian, not Israeli.
While Israel has been facing off against Hezbollah and its patron Iran, following the 2006 Second Lebanon War, the Israeli military has largely refrained from carrying out large strikes against the terror group inside Lebanon, instead, according to foreign reports, focusing the fighting in Syria and more recently Iraq.
Though Israel has been accused of conducting limited airstrikes against Hezbollah deep in Lebanon in the 13 years since the war, this week's drone attack in the heart of Beirut would mark a shift to a more aggressive defense policy for the Jewish state.

According to Lebanese media Tuesday, the country's military believes that the unmanned aerial vehicles were launched from within eight kilometers of the site of the explosion, indicating that they were either launched within Lebanon or came in from the sea.
Hezbollah has claimed that only its media offices were damaged by the blast.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, the British Times newspaper reported that the targets of the strike were two crates that held materials for a Hezbollah program to turn its stock of simple rockets into precision-guided missiles — a project that is of deep concern to Israel as it would significantly increase the threat posed by these projectiles.
Last September, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly in a speech that Israel knew of this Hezbollah plot and even provided the geographic coordinates for the facilities where the missiles were allegedly being produced.
Following Netanyahu's remarks and the increased scrutiny in Lebanon, the terror group reportedly moved these factories to different locations.

This Hezbollah program is focused on two main goals: locally manufacturing long-range precise missiles and upgrading its current stock of simple rockets into precision-guided ones.
According to Israeli defense officials, the terror group has not yet succeeded in these goals and possesses only a small number of precision-guided missiles.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has denied the existence of the factories but said his organization does possess such weaponry.
On Tuesday night, several Hebrew media outlets reported additional information about the two targets of the Beirut drone strike — the specialized industrial mixer and a computerized control unit.
According to these reports, the mixer was the far more significant target, as it is necessary for the creation of the solid fuel used in long-range missiles and was the only machine of its kind inside Lebanon.
This type of device — known as a vertical planetary mixer — is used around the world in militaries and space programs to produce solid fuels. Due to the delicate nature of this work, these machines must be incredibly precise and are therefore difficult to manufacture.

According to Channel 13 news, the planetary mixer targeted in the Beirut strike had recently been flown into Lebanon from Iran. It was being held temporarily in Dahiyeh before being transferred to the factory where the actual work on the precision missile project was being performed.
This mixer and the fuel that it would help produce would have been used by Hezbollah to create a locally-produced, precise long-range rocket.
The damage to the mixer rendered it unusable and is believed to have set back this aspect of Hezbollah's precision missile program by at least a year.
The computerized control unit was reportedly tied to the second aspect of the terror group's missile project — upgrading existing stocks of rockets.
It was not immediately clear how valuable a target this was.
On Tuesday, Hezbollah said the drone that crashed in Beirut contained an explosive device weighing more than five kilograms (11 pounds).

"Experts dismantled the first drone that crashed in Beirut's southern suburbs; it was found that it contained a sealed explosive device" of around 5.5 kilograms, Hezbollah said in a statement.
"We confirm that the purpose of this first drone was not reconnaissance but the carrying out of a bombing attack," it added.
The latest discovery, Hezbollah said, confirms that Sunday's drone attack involved not one but two explosive-rigged drones — one which exploded and the other that did not because of a technical failure.
On Monday, Lebanese President Michel Aoun denounced the alleged Israeli drone attack as a "declaration of war."
Hezbollah, considered a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States, is a major political actor in Lebanon and also a key government backer in war-torn Syria.

"With all of the various social media outlets that people are using these days, we thought it would be nice to come up with an infographic that breaks down each of the most popular social outlets into digestible snippets demonstrating advantages of each and how they can be best utilized."
Here at Mashable, we live and breathe Twitter. However, sometimes we see a tweet containing an acronym or an abbreviation with which we're not very familiar.
If you find yourself in the same situation, then take a look through our handy list for a complete glossary of terms you may come across in tweets.
While some abbreviations and acronyms may be common across all social media sites, others are unique to the microblogging platform. Browse our guide, and be sure to shout out any terms we've missed in the comments below.
@ The "at" sign is used to mention another Twitter account (e.g., @Mashable). Within a tweet, it becomes a link to that user's profile. You may see it used in a geographical sense, such as "I'm @ the office," but this is just text-speak and not Twitter-specific.
# The hash (or pound) symbol is used to highlight keywords, topics, events or even emotions in a tweet. Using a hashtag turns the word or phrase into a link that lets you see other tweets containing the same tag. Examples: "Loving the #weather," "Watching the #SuperBowl," "Headed to #SXSW," "Long day — feeling #tiredandemotional."
^ The caret, or hat sign, is used to denote a tweet composed and sent by an individual on behalf of a group account used by multiple people (often a company or organization) account. It usually appears at the end of a Tweet and precedes initials, to indicate which user sent the tweet (e.g., ^JS).$ The dollar sign is used on Twitter before a company's shortened stock market name/code as a kind of financial hashtag. For example, $AAPL (Apple), $GOOG (Google) and $MSFT (Microsoft). Within tweets, codes prefixed with the dollar sign will become links.
AFAIK "As far as I know."
CC CC's literal meaning is "carbon copy." As with memos and emails, CC is a way of ensuring a Twitter user sees certain content. Used with an @ mention — for example, "Interesting article - www.urlurl.com - cc @Bob" — it will help draw a Tweet to someone's attention.


Kazuma Kiryu, once one of the most fearsome yakuza and known as the "Dragon of the Dojima Family," comes back to Kamuro-cho after a ten year jail sentence. His return means many things to many different people, but to one girl, it means she may have a chance of finding her mother. To one of Kazuma's yakuza friends, however, it means a chance to settle a score.
Violent, bloody, action-packed, hot, sweaty and funny. The lack of reality within real world Japan makes the movie gore watchable and humorous.

Begins as a suitably daft, knuckle rapping, body launching action film with the heart of a billy club. Takashi Miike's vapid video game adaptation has teeth when it finds its foot on the pedal, but when the story slows for exposition, you can tell how skeletal the source material really is. Basically a bloated, sometimes animated action film that's on cruise control.
It seems like this movie should work, but Miike never manages to orchestra it with his usual zeal and absurdities.
As usual, a Takashi Miike winner. I don't know why, but it reminds me of what you might get if you drop Hard Boiled in a blender with Wild At Heart. Gonzo.
ok. bit elongated story line to get to plot conclusion. love the knock-off of the "baseball fury's" gang. Warriors...come out to PLAY-A!


spilling vermilion on the snow.
it knocks you off balance and you drop it quick.
an odd tint of windshield shining in the sun.

of giving something easily away.
but savoring the strange taste on your lips.

General Obligation Bondholders Beware: Detroit Bankruptcy Affirmed, Governor Shielded From Lawsuits; Triumph of Math Over Unions
Mish Moved to MishTalk.Com Click to Visit.
As hoped and expected Detroit Bankruptcy Protections Affirmed, Snyder Shielded.
Detroit can enjoy the protections of bankruptcy, including immunity from lawsuits related to the case, a federal judge ruled, extending that shield to Michigan Governor Rick Snyder.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steeven Rhodes in Detroit today blocked lawsuits by public employee groups and pension funds who allegd the state overreached in seeking court protection from creditors. Such claims must be heard in bankruptcy court, Rhodes said. His ruling gives the city the opportunity it said it needs to address $18 billion in debt without disruptions.
Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which covers municipalities, typically prevents creditors from taking actions against the debtor that might interfere with reorganization.
City unions and pension officials claim Snyder, 54, violated Michigan's constitution by authorizing Orr to file for bankruptcy. Pension funds for retired city workers sued in state court to have the filing declared illegal.
Barring lawsuits against Snyder related to the bankruptcy would be unfair to Michigan's citizens, said Sharon Levine, an attorney for the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, part of the AFL-CIO.
"We're taking away very fundamental constitutional rights," Levine said.
Michael Artz, a lawyer for the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, said outside court after the hearing that while the question of the constitutionality of the Chapter 9 filing should have remained in state court, the union "will fight whatever court we're in."
Fights by AFL-CIO Welcome
I welcome these fights by the AFL-CIO. Indeed I hope they spend every cent they have because they are going to lose.
And when they lose, others cities will decide to escape preposterous unions contracts and pension benefits via bankruptcy.
General Obligation Bondholders Beware
Several people emailed me that that bondholders should have nothing to worry about because the bonds are backed by tax revenue.
If that was the case, then there should be little to no difference in interest rates between such bonds. But there is. Just like there is a difference between Greek bonds and German bonds, even though we heard the ECB say for years "we say no to default".
Well guess what? The market was correct, not the ECB.
All bets are off in bankruptcy court because you cannot tax a hollow shell. And what is Detroit but a hollow shell?
Triumph of Math Over Unions
As for pension claims and the Michigan constitution? Same thing: You cannot pay what you do not have. This is the triumph of math and common sense over union greed, arrogance, threats, and coercion.
Future Rating Impact
The Bond Buyer says Detroit Filing Could Impact Future Rating Analysis
CHICAGO - As Detroit enters into what would be the largest municipal bankruptcy in the U.S., ratings agencies said the outcome may have a negative impact on unlimited-tax general obligation bonds in future credit analysis.
Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr's restructuring plan treats the city's unlimited-tax general obligation bonds as unsecured, on par with the its lowest-secured debt, such as retiree health care benefits.
The move marks a departure from traditional treatment of ULTGOs, typically considered among the strongest municipal debt.
Orr's plan, if accepted by a bankruptcy judge, may affect the way Fitch Ratings analyzes ULTGOs in the future, the ratings firm said in a comment released Friday.
Fitch analyst Amy Laskey said in a telephone interview that it's still uncertain how broad the impact would be if a bankruptcy judge approved Orr's plan.
"These are issues we're talking about internally, how broadly that might extend," Laskey said. "It would certainly make us reexamine the value to credit quality of having that unlimited-tax pledge versus other tax-supported obligations," she said.
"Our feeling was that with unlimited-tax general obligation bonds you have the pledge to levy property tax without limitation to pay the debt, and that seemed somewhat more secure [than other tax-supported bonds]," said Laskey. "They do give you a little more financial flexibility because you have the ability and the obligation to pay for them, which you don't have for limited-tax bonds, certificates of participation, or lease revenue bonds."
If the city moves into Chapter 9, the case could set precedents when it comes to treatment of ULTGOs, she said.
Once again, I cite common sense: you cannot tax a hollow shell. Bondholders took a risk for higher yield, just as did buyers of Greek debt. If there was no risk, yields on Detroit bonds would not have been higher in the first place.
So, pensioners and bondholders both should take it on the chin.
Detroit Will Be In Bankruptcy 'For A Long Time'
Harvey Miller, partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, tells Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia that Detroit's recently filed Chapter 9 bankruptcy case will not be an easy restructuring. In addition to the profound economic challenges facing the city and the limited ability of a bankruptcy court to force changes on its government, the fundamental tension between bondholders, pensioners and taxpayers could mean Detroit will remain in tangled up in litigation for a long duration of time. "There's going to be a lot of legal fighting in this," he says.

Expect a lot of municipal bond downgrades before too long. Downgrades are coming, deserved, and welcome.

Cumberland County Schools will not delay start of spring semester amid COVID-19 surge
Cumberland County News
by: Michael Prunka, Justin Moore
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WNCN) – Cumberland County Schools will not delay the beginning of the spring semester. Education leaders held a special meeting Tuesday morning to discuss the option of pushing back the start date in light of surging COVID-19 cases in the county and state.
Superintendent Marvin Connelly, Jr. said the school system will have strict COVID-19 mitigation protocols in place. They include limited visitors, 50 percent capacity at athletic events, and optional testing sites for students and staff.
The district will begin classes Wednesday. Other considerations discussed Tuesday were shifting to virtual instruction for the remainder of the week or extending the school year and making the three days this week teacher workdays.
"In light of the COVID-19 metrics in our county and understanding that many of our staff, students, and their families may have been exposed to COVID-19 over the break, we felt obligated to explore all possible options upon our return from winter break," Connelly said in a news release. "We also wanted to ensure we had adequate staff to move forward with in-person learning, since some staff may miss work because of COVID protocols."
John Vaughn was one of about a dozen parents anxiously waiting to hear if Cumberland County Schools would delay the start of classes.
"You're talking about a decision that's going to impact tens of thousands of people. Right, tens of thousands of families in this county," Vaughn said.
If there is an outbreak, the school board has the authority to quarantine the entire classroom or school.
Vaughn said he is satisfied with the decision. However, he wants school leaders to take feedback from parents before making huge decisions regarding delaying school because of COVID-19.
"That's just not acceptable. This is 2022. We have been doing this for two years. We know about this," Vaughn said.

Task Force Response to Questions
Posted by Chris Attkins Heather Lodge · Recent Activity
Published: Wednesday, 12th January 2022, 12:00pm
Arran Ferry Action Group have received a response to the questions asked regarding the Ardrossan Harbour Development Project that were submitted to the Ferries Infrastructure Project Manager at Transport Scotland. The response is issued from the Isle of Arran Ferry Committee, following recent direction from Transport Minister Graeme Dey MSP and Transport Scotland that all community correspondence should be routed to this group from now on.
Arran Ferry Action Group have been excluded from the Ardrossan Harbour Task Force meetings, despite being named as a stakeholder by the First Minister in December.
The document is somewhat limited in the answers it provides. The fundamental question of when this development will commence is still unanswered. This is still totally dependent on agreement being reached between Transport Scotland and the owners of the port, Peel Ports Group Ltd. This is believed to relate to the division of costs between the two parties, and therefore the share of cost to the taxpayer through Transport Scotland. The project is estimated to be 18 months or more of work.
Some answers are becoming clearer, although they are still shrouded in a little Ayrshire fog.
The service will divert to Troon - irrespective of if the works commence or not - upon the long-delayed Hull 801 / Glen Sannox entering service. This is currently expected to be in Autumn 2022, only 10 months away now. There are significant risks of further delay with this delivery schedule and we wait for more updates from Ferguson Marine with keen interest.
The works at Troon are well advanced and on schedule for completion by Summer 2022.
The separate working group responsible for Troon, involving Associated British Ports (ABP), Transport Scotland, Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) and Caledonian Ferries Ltd (CalMac), meets monthly and looks to be developing the plans and details for service continuity. We hope to hear more about these details soon. There is no detail yet of the timetable impact or the service frequency that will be provided. This is a key part of information that the Isle of Arran needs to know in order to plan for what is coming.
The structure of the Task Force still appears extremely confused, with no substantial changes carried out from the recommendations of its own project management review in April 2019. Items such as 'clearly defined roles and responsibilities', a 'clear command structure to a single named project manager' and 'improved community communication' appear to still be on the 'significant and urgent' list. The lack of recent attendance by our Constituency MSP is also notable.
There are many areas where public consultation is promised, like the development of the landside infrastructure such as the terminal building and the proposed timetable. These are promised for early 2022. There are other areas where it is specifically excluded, such as the temporary facilities and connectivity at Troon. Arran Ferry Action Group hopes that these consultations are indeed real exercises in engaging with the community that can influence the final decisions.
The clock is ticking loudly, and if a start date of Autumn 2022 is to be met, all of these elements will need to be progressed very rapidly. Any further delay will push the return of the service to a renewed Ardrossan in a new vessel past the current target of spring 2024.
The Isle of Arran is watching, and waiting.

John Ogilby is regarded by many as the most important name in British Cartography after Christopher Saxton. He was born in Edinburgh in 1600 and led a varied life embracing many different careers. He started life as a dancing teacher and followed this with a spell as tutor to the children of the Earl of Stafford.
Next he went to Dublin where he ran a theatre successfully until the Civil War in 1641. He nearly lost his life in the Irish troubles and returned to London destitute. After a time in Cambridge as a literary translator he found favour at Court and was responsible for organising the coronation revels. After another sojourn in Dublin he set up business as a printer and publisher in London but this venture was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. After the fire he was appointed one of four "sworn viewers" who were ordered to survey those parts of the city that had been destroyed, in order to establish rights of ownership. The King appointed him Royal Cosmographer and Geographic Printer.
Encouraged by the King's interest in the project Ogilby began work on Britannia, the first national road atlas. The first edition of 100 strip maps appeared in 1675 funded in part by a lottery organised by Ogilby. Unfortunately Ogilby died in the year of publication and so the rest of the project was never completed. He established the Statute Mile of 1,760 yards as a national unit of measurement, prior to his work there were three different mile lengths in use.

Postmates and DoorDash Are Offering No-Contact Delivery
Self-quarantining during the coronavirus outbreak? Just don't want to put on pants? This service is for you.
By Zoe Sayler March 9, 2020
Both of these services are catering to self-quarantining Seattleites.
Image: Shutterstock by David Tonelson
The point of self-quarantine and what you want to do while self-quarantining are sort of contradictory: You're supposed to limit contact with other people, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But, damn, all you want to do is Postmates those Lil Woody's queso fries. (This time, they'll hold up. This time is different.)
So, what? Do you just comingle your germs with your delivery driver's, potentially putting you both at risk? Not anymore: In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, Postmates and DoorDash have both rolled out delivery options that will keep you and your driver more than six feet apart, guaranteed. Though they're varyingly nonchalant about it. Postmates advertises the service for anyone "feeling under the weather" or "working from home in your pjs." DoorDash, which is only offering its "no-contact" option in the Seattle area, specifically mentions no-contact as an option "for those who are ill or who have been in contact with others who may be ill."
I decided to try out Postmates' version, in the name of journalistic excellence (and because I've got a cough). I had to update my Postmates app, but once I did, the option to "leave order at my door" was clearly available under "dropoff options" when I selected my delivery address. I added extra instructions: "please leave at the top of the stairs outside the front door :)" (yes, smiley face. I'm no monster).
Usually I meet drivers at their car, and this time, the driver came right up to the front door of my apartment building, so all seemed to be going according to plan. But then, the driver just waited there until I sent a clarifying text using the in-app messaging platform. It totally worked, but it wasn't the seamless situation I imagined, presumably because the service is brand-new. (Djan's pad see eiw, by the way, is excellent.)
I appreciate what these services are doing by offering no-contact delivery, which could both protect drivers from potentially sick customers, and vice versa. But it does make me wonder: Why not mandate no-contact during the outbreak, except in special cases, like if people with disabilities need a direct delivery? Putting the delivery decision in the hands of individual app users seems designed to protect customers, rather than drivers, who are the ones making all the contact to begin with.
And here's the big secret: You could get no-contact delivery all along. Earlier in the week, trapped at home with a sore throat, I ordered a couple pints of Ben & Jerry's through the snack delivery service goPuff. Under the delivery note (every app gives you the option to write one), I wrote that I was sick and needed the delivery left at the door. "No-contact," if you will. The driver tied the bag around my apartment building's front door handle (clever!). That's actually how you're supposed to use the DoorDash no-contact option: leave a detailed note for the driver under "Instructions for Dasher," something you theoretically could have done all along.
The moral of the story? You don't need corporations' permission to make simple adjustments that are best for you and the community. (And Ben & Jerry's mint chocolate cookie feels great on a sore throat.)

bsddb3 isn't in py3k, I'm not inclined to take the time to find out.
Hmm.  That's not actually the same timeout.  What that means is that if the startup timeout triggers, then a subsequent test (one that is looking for the results of a client transaction) fails, which contradicts the earlier observation that even if the startup timeout fails then everything else still passes.
Since this isn't likely to get fixed and it is causing buildbot instability, I propose the attached patch to just skip the remainder of the test method if this second timeout happens.
r.david.murray - sounds like a good idea.
Applied skip patch to trunk in r78558, and 2.6 in 78560.
Is any follow up needed to this or can it be closed as bsddb has been removed from Python 3?
Yeah, let's just close it.  Nobody is likely to care enough to try to fix it properly.

Q: Django - loaddata from JSON dump gives 'no such table' error I am trying to load a JSON dump of my Django Sqlite db into a fresh db, using manage.py loaddata. I am encountering the following django.db.utils.OperationalError, however:
Could not load foo.Bar(pk=1): no such table: foo_bar

The table is definitely present in the database, and all my migrations are applied, checked using showmigrations. So I am stumped as to what's going on. I would not be surprised if it's something simple, however. Would appreciate any suggestions.
N.B: The db I'm trying to load the data into is just an empty file. Might that be the issue? Do I need to create the relevant tables in that fresh db before loading into it from the fixture?

A: If you are still in development, try to reset the database. Be aware that all your data will get lost. Create and dump some new data and check if you still get the same error.
Here is a script how to reset the database:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

#deletes the sqlite3 database
rm db.sqlite3

#deletes migration files of your module(s)
# __init__.py needs to be recreated
rm -R your_module/migrations/*
touch your_module/migrations/__init__.py

# migrates changes and synchronizes the database
python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

I don't understand the concept of hydrates; A 2.78g sample of hydrated FeSO4 was heated to remove all the water of the hydration. The mass of the anhydrous FeSO4 was 1.52g. Calculate the number of water molecules associated with each unit of FeSO4?
The concept is very simple. Hydrates are that contain a certain amount of water. When you heat a hydrate, all the water that's a part of its structure is evaporated, leaving behind the anhydrous salt.
In your case, the hydrated form of iron (II) sulfate weighs 2.78 g. After all the water of hydration is removed, you're left with the anhydrous salt iron (II) sulfate, which weighs 1.52 g.
The difference in weight between the hydrate and the anhydrous salt is the water of hydration.

Peștera Gaura Fetii este o peșteră de mici demensiuni situată pe teritoriul comunei Gârda de Sus, județul Alba, în Munții Bihorului.

Localizare
Peștera Gaura Fetii este situată în versantul stâng al Vaii Gârda Seacă, la podul de peste afluentul Ordâncușa. Se poate ajunge la ea prin Valea Arieșului, din comuna Gârda de Sus, urmând cale de 800 m drumul forestier ce pornește din centrul comunei spre Peștera Scărișoara pe Valea Gârda Seacă.

Istoric
Peștera a fost descoperită cu ocazia lărgirii drumului prin dinamitarea peretelui stâncos.
Prima explorare și cartare a fost făcută de Viorel Ludușan de la Alpin Speo Club Polaris Blaj în 1974.
Tot el, în calitate de coordonator al echipei de cascadori la filmul "Flăcări pe comori", propune regizorului Nicolae Mărginean să filmeze o scenă în această peșteră. Scena a fost realizată în 1985.

Descriere
Intrarea în peșteră are o formă lenticulară înaltă de 4 m și lată de 1 m. Urmează imediat o săritoare în trepte care duce pe un con de grohotiș. Acesta se pierde în apa lacului care acooperă întreaga podea. Pentru a vedea întreaga peșteră se intră în apa până la brâu sau se poate naviga cu o barcă pe cei 21 m ai lacului în formă de semilună. Adâncimea maximă este de 3 m în zona centrală. Peștera Gaura Fetii este săracă în formațiuni carstice. Golul dizolvat în calcare triasice pare a fi preaplinul nivelului de bază al pânzei freatice.

Condiții de vizitare
Sunt necesare surse de iluminat și o barcă de cauciuc.

Fauna
În peștera se află araneide troglobionte (Nesticus spelaeus) si copepode.

The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night approved a change in sewer policy that will allow the assisted living facility to be classified as commercial. The county has exceeded the amount of sewer capacity it has set aside for residential use.
The plans submitted by Williams and Associates have not yet been reviewed by county planning staff, Planner Brad Callender told me on Friday afternoon, and details of the project can change as a result of that review process.
The first is a commercial subdivision of nine lots, totaling 27.9 acres. This subdivision is to be accessed off Virgil Langford Road east of the Oconee Connector, and the hotel and the assisted living facility are part of this section of the project.
The second, 2.5-acre parcel is being developed as an out-parcel from the larger lot and is to be access from the roadway looping within the larger parcel.
The outparcel will contain a single building to be used as a medical office.
Both parcels will be developed by Nichols Land and Investment Company, 2500 Daniells Bridge Road, Building 200, according to the documents submitted to the Planning Department.
The 30-acre tract is owned by LCN Oconee LLC and Frank Halpin of Canton, according to county tax records. The Georgia Secretary of State database does not list officers of LCN Oconee.
LCN Oconee LLC and Halpin own another four acres separated from the parcels being developed by abandoned remnants of Virgil Langford Road and Jennings Mill Road.
The prominent signs by Nichols at the corner of SR 316 and the Oconee Connector on the property proposed for development list the total 34 acres for sale.
Halpin and LCN Oconee are seeking a simple B-1 classification for the property that will make up the Resurgence Park outparcel and B1 and B2 zoning for Resurgence Park proper.
The land currently is zoned B-1 Planned Unit Development, an old category that precludes use of the land for the assisted living facility.
The land, along with part of property then owned by L. Coleman Norris, was split up by SR 316 and the necessitated relocations of Daniells Bridge Road, Jennings Mill Road, Virgil Langford Road and Epps Bridge Road.
The construction of the Oconee Connector and the closure of what had been an intersection of SR 316 with Jennings Mill Road, crossing to Daniells Bridge Road, further altered the properties.
Much of the land on the south side of SR 316 that was rezoned to B1 PUD in 1994 already has been developed, including for the building housing the Nichols office on Daniells Bridge Road. The land prior to that time had been zoned for agriculture.
According to the submitted documents, Resurgence Park will include a five-story hotel with 100 rooms. The total size of the building will be 70,000 square feet.
The assisted living facility will contain 85 beds in a 60,000-square-foot building.
The remaining buildings are labeled as medical/general office, according to the submitted documents. The smallest will have 25,000 square feet of space.
The single building on the outparcel is expected to be 19,000 square feet in size.
The plans say that sewage from Resurgence Park will connect with an existing "sanitary sewer manhole" next to SR 316.
Chris Thomas, Utility Department director, told me on Tuesday that a sewer line flows under SR 316 and will allow for a connection to the county's sewage system.
Oconee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis initiated the change in sewer policy on behalf of Jon Williams, president of Williams and Associates, so the assisted living facility would not be classified as residential.
This same issue came up when Presbyterian Homes of Georgia proposed putting its continuing care retirement community on Rocky Branch Road.
Thomas indicated in a memo to then County Administrative Officer Alan Theriault on Aug. 16, 2012, that there was no residential sewer capacity available. He changed his position when reminded by County Attorney Daniel Haygood that continuing care retirement communities were to be classified as commercial rather than residential.
The policy change on Tuesday added assisted living facilities to the list of residential facilities classified as commercial.
The resolution passed restated the policy that no more than 50 percent of sewer capacity can be allocated to residential, and the BOC also restated its position that future capacity is to be 100 percent dedicated to commercial and industrial use.
In the meantime, Presbyterian Homes of Georgia has changed its plans and is now looking for an alternate to the Rocky Branch Road location.
B.R. White, director of the Oconee County Planning Department, sent me a copy of an email message he received at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday from Robin Sumner, executive assistant to Presbyterian Homes. She is based in Quitman in south Georgia, according to the signature.
She attached a letter from Frank H. McElroy Jr., president and CEO of Presbyterian Homes, saying "we have decided to withdraw our request for rezoning of the property" on Rocky Branch Road.
McElroy's letter was dated May 7, 2013.
At first blush a good use for this choice location.
The 316 Corridor will be completely transformed in less time than first thought possible.


We have lately visited the cities of Lowell and Manchester and have had an opportunity of examining the factory system more closely than before. We had distrusted the accounts which we had heard from persons engaged in the labor reform now beginning to agitate New England. We could scarcely credit the statements made in relation to the exhausting nature of the labor in the mills, and to the manner in which the young women-the operatives-lived in their boardinghouses, six sleeping in a room, poorly ventilated.
The operatives work thirteen hours a day in the summer time, and from daylight to dark in the winter. At half past four in the morning the factory bell rings, and at five the girls must be in the mills. A clerk, placed as a watch, observes those who are a few minutes behind the time, and effectual means are taken to stimulate to punctuality. This is the morning commencement of the industrial discipline (should we not rather say industrial tyranny?) which is established in these associations of this moral and Christian community.
When capital has got thirteen hours of labor daily out of a being, it can get nothing more. It would be a poor speculation in an industrial point of view to own the operative; for the trouble and expense of providing for times of sickness and old age would more than counterbalance the difference between the price of wages and the expenses of board and clothing. The far greater number of fortunes accumulated by the North in comparison with the South shows that hireling labor is more profitable for capital than slave labor.
Now let us examine the nature of the labor itself, and the conditions under which it is performed. Enter with us into the large rooms, when the looms are at work.... The din and clatter of these five hundred looms, under full operation, struck us on first entering as something frightful and infernal, for it seemed such an atrocious violation of one of the faculties of the human soul, the sense of hearing. After a while we became somewhat used to it, and by speaking quite close to the ear of an operative and quite loud, we could hold a conversation and make the inquiries we wished.
The girls attended upon an average three looms; many attended four, but this requires a very active person, and the most unremitting care. However, a great many do it. Attention to two is as much as should be demanded of an operative. This gives us some idea of the application required during the thirteen hours of daily labor. The atmosphere of such a room cannot of course be pure; on the contrary, it is charged with cotton filaments and dust, which, we are told, are very injurious to the lungs.
So live and toil the young women of our country in the boardinghouses and manufactories which the rich and influential of our land have built for them.


IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome - What are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome?
How do you learn to live with the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome? You try and learn what foods cause you to experience your symptoms. It is suggested that your fat intake has a big impact on the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Try to cut back on high fat intake and begin making a diary of what you eat and how much and write down when you have one of the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. This will help you pinpoint what triggers your symptoms. Then you can learn how to keep it from happening as often. There is no cure for IBS but you can learn to live with the symptoms and spread out the attacks.It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. We have written this article to let others know more about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome through our resources.
Enema can be a natural remedy for irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. The early 1900's medical practice was that when a patient was admitted to the hospital for any ailment, the patient first received an enema. A bit messy and inconvenient, enema is usually a last resort. Diet and intestinal cleanse using all natural herbs has become more popular and healthy. Now while reading about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome, don't you feel that you never knew so much existed about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome? So much matter you never knew existed.
When diarrhea is present, recommended over the counter irritable bowel syndrome remedies may include an anti-diarrhea product like Immodium or Kaopectate. These products may reduce diarrhea, but researchers have found that they do not relieve other symptoms such as stomach ache and bloating. Both aloe and slippery elm have an anti-inflammatory effect which may relieve stomach ache. Bloating and gas may be relieved by antacids, anti-gas products or an herbal remedy. Irritable bowel syndrome remedies made from herbs and botanicals often include several ingredients (several different herbs and plants) in an attempt to relieve all of the symptoms of IBS. Gastronic Dr. is one such herbal remedy. Writing about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome is an interesting writing assignment. There is no end to it, as there is so much to write about it!
In people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, symptoms result from what appears to be a disturbance in the interaction between the gut or intestines, the brain, and the autonomic nervous system that alters regulation of bowel motility (motor function) or sensory function. Several conditions may present itself as IBS including celiac disease, mild infections, several inflammatory bowel diseases, functional chronic constipation and chronic functional abdominal pain. Some other causes of IBS are unknown. Keep your mind open to anything when reading about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Opinions may differ, but it is the base of IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome that is important.
The irritable bowel syndrome diet also suggests eating either small, frequent meals, or eating smaller portions of your three meals. Large, fat filled meals only serve to irritate your stomach and cause stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation. Healthy and conscientious eating should be your main goal. Fruits, vegetables, lean meat and whole grain breads will help your stomach to stay on a balanced plane so that you will not have as many flare-ups. Accept the way things are in life. Only then will you be able to accept these points on IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be considered to be part and parcel of life.
Prevention is better than cure. It is better to act wisely and take steps to prevent irritable bowel syndrome on time. After all, living with a condition that's painful and affects daily routine is not worth it. The worse part is that you may even have to experience some real embarrassing situation. Remember that it is a chronic disease and you may have to live with it. It can even become a life-long experience. Ignorance is bliss they say. However, do you find this practical when you read so much about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
No one really knows why certain people develop IBS. Researchers believe that people with Irritable bowel syndrome have sensitive colons that react to aggravating foods and certain emotional conditions, most commonly, to stress, conflict, or upsets. Antidepressants are often used to relieve stress-related irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Some doctors link colon sensitivity to weak immune systems.Make the best use of life by learning and reading as much as possible. read about things unknown, and more about things known, like about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Use it to its maximum by utilizing whatever knowledge it offers for knowledge is important for all walks of life. Even the crooks have to be intelligent!
Consult your doctor about OTC antidiarrheal meds for IBS treatment before taking anything. In addition, you shouldn't resort to antidiarrheals until at least 24 hours after experiencing diarrhea, as you don't want to stop your body from expelling toxins in the event your diarrhea is a result of bacteria such as food poisoning.Whenever one reads any reading matter, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that the reading is complete.
There has been a great deal of controversy over the role that poor digestion and/or absorption of dietary sugars may play in aggravating the symptoms of IBS. Poor digestion of lactose, the sugar in milk, is very common as is poor absorption of fructose, a sweetener found in many processed foods. Poor digestion or absorption of these sugars could aggravate the symptoms of IBS since unabsorbed sugars often cause increased formation of gas.Thinking of life without IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome seem to be impossible to imagine. This is because IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be applied in all situations of life.
It is also good to stock on calcium. Calcium is not only good for your bones it can also relieve constipation and diarrhea when you are having IBS. Calcium carbonate, in particular, has anti-diarrheal properties, while calcium citrate has laxative properties. Whether you are experiencing diarrhea or constipation, calcium can help to make you feel a lot better. Just like, Vitamin C, however, the intake of calcium should also be regulated. The recommended dosage of either preparation is 500 mg or less.Just as a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, we wish you read this entire article on IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome before actually making a judgement about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
In these days of diet and nutritional awareness, most people would probably increase their fibre intake to remedy a sluggish bowel. Most people are aware that wholemeal bread contains more fibre than white bread. This type of fibre is called insoluble fibre. Whilst reducing the effects of constipation, it is thought that insoluble fibre may irritate the intestinal lining. With this in mind, it may be worth balancing your consumption of bread with eating grains e.g. Porridge oats, which are classified as soluble fibre. We have tried to place the best definition about IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome in this article. This has taken a lot of time, but we only wish that the definition we gave suits your needs.
Could anyone give me simple natural cure for IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome). My worst symptoms are constipation, stomach gas, intestinal bloating. I have taken IBS medication, body cleansing ,Candida cleansing, diet change etc, but nothing works. Any recommendation please?
I hope this helps =) There is no cure for irritable bowel syndrome so one of the best and easiest ways to treat this condition is through the irritable bowel syndrome diet. The irritable bowel syndrome diet helps to alleviate the symptoms of IBS. It may not completely cure the condition but it will space the attacks out so they are not as frequent. One of the main things that need to be removed from your diet as much as possible is high fat foods. Fat causes a violent reaction in the colon which can cause either constipation or violent diarrhoea. It can either cause the colon to freeze up causing constipation, or cause it to contract spastically which will cause diarrhoea. Other areas you may want to cut back on are coffee, chocolate, alcohol, carbonated drinks, and caffeine as they are all either stimulants or irritants, and therefore, they cause your GI tract to either be stimulated or irritated which can cause an attack. The irritable bowel syndrome diet concentrates on eating healthy foods to reduce your symptoms as there is no cure for IBS. The irritable bowel syndrome diet also suggests eating either small, frequent meals, or eating smaller portions of your three meals. Large, fat filled meals only serve to irritate your stomach and cause stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation. Healthy and conscientious eating should be your main goal. Fruits, vegetables, lean meat and whole grain breads will help your stomach to stay on a balanced plane so that you will not have as many flare-ups. Some physicians suggest adding fiber to your irritable bowel syndrome diet to reduce symptoms. Fiber such as apples, peaches, raw broccoli and carrots, cabbage, and peas as well as kidney and lima beans and whole-grain breads and cereals will round out your diet. Eat the fiber first when your stomach is empty to help reduce the symptoms. You may be thinking that there is no way you can follow the irritable bowel syndrome diet but once you learn what you can and cannot eat then you will be able to reduce your symptoms and learn your "triggers." All in all, the irritable bowel syndrome diet is about eating healthy. If you make the effort to stay away from "trigger foods" and to eat small portioned, healthy, and low fat meals then hopefully there will be a decrease in your symptoms. This does not mean you have to stay away from restaurants or eating what you want to follow the irritable bowel syndrome diet it just means you need to make smarter choices to keep from having as many attacks. It is up to you and your stomach!
So far there is no cure for IBS, but there are plenty of helpful treatments and in time you may be able to experience a remission. Have you tried any herbal remedies yet? If not, I recommend peppermint, chamomile, ginger and fennel. These are all good for soothing the stomach. You can take peppermint oil, tea, or even plain peppermint candy (do not chew, but dissolve it in your mouth like a lozenge for better absorption). The other herbs are especially good in teas. Try Celestial Seasonings' "Tummy Mint" tea, which contains a combination of stomach-soothing herbs. Their new "Honey Peach Ginger" is perfect to drink after a meal--the ginger helps with digestion. You can find Celestial Seasonings teas at most grocery stores. I'd also recommend exercise as an essential part of your IBS treatment plan. If your stomach feels unsettled after a meal, take a walk at a gentle pace. I know from personal experience that this really helps. When your IBS is really bothering you, vigorous exercise may not be a good idea, but you should try to do some kind of exercise on a regular basis. Especially when you have constipation, you need to move as much as you can to stimulate your digestive system. I've also found yoga to be helpful. Not only do the poses help the function of internal organs, but also the practice of deep breathing helps control stress, which can often make IBS symptoms worse. Finding the treatments that work for you will be a lot of trial and error, since IBS tends to affect each sufferer a little differently. But there's hope. I've finally been able to overcome most of my symptoms to the point that I am able to live comfortably. I hope you can, too.

which works wonderful. My question, is if it is possible to insert \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{} directly into \part?

Section Ten: "Races of Men" Chapters in Primary and Secondary Geography Text Books
Beginning in the 1830s, when educational reformers began pushing for a more visual geography curriculum, the structure of primary and secondary school geography textbooks shifted and the construct of race became one of the many ways children were taught to order, categorize, and interpret the world around them. From the 1830s to the first decade of the twentieth century, the majority of American Geography textbooks included a small chapter or lesson entitled, "The Races of Men." As literature scholar Anne Baker explains:
"Motivated both by political zeal and the desire to sell more schoolbooks in the expanding national market, antebellum educators encouraged their readers to conceptualize the world in new ways. In the process, they played a powerful role in predisposing them to accept new theories of race."
The fact that many white Americans in the nineteenth century came to adopt a significant worldview regarding racial hierarchy in regards to white supremacy and territorial expansion can at least partially be attributed to the textbooks that hundreds of thousands of school children at public and private schools throughout the nation were utilizing. In the decades leading up to the Civil War, in an attempt to justify slavery and the removal of Native Americans from their lands, many Americans turned to pseudoscience and falsely constructed Romantic nationalist ideas about race that were also popular in Europe. As you can see by the textbooks on display here, those beliefs were perpetuated in textbooks and classrooms around the country.
Indeed, these geography textbook chapters on "Races of Men" and accompanying sections on supposed "degrees of civilization," played a significant role in contributing to structural racism within American schools both through the visual fabrication of racial hierarchy, as well as the rote memorization of racist statements on the supposed "natural" superiority of the white/caucasian race, etc. Though these textbooks are abhorrent and offensive to the modern reader, it is important to note that we are still dealing with the generational effects of this pedagogy.
