Biden will skip his scheduled Amtrak ride at inauguration due to safety concerns.
Post author By Charlie Aufenthie
No Comments on Biden will skip his scheduled Amtrak ride at inauguration due to safety concerns.
President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. has canceled plans to drive Amtrak to Washington for his inauguration next week, reflecting intense security concerns around the event in the wake of last week's riot at the Capitol.
As a senator, Mr. Biden commuted the Amtrak train from his home state of Delaware for decades and became a public advocate for government-subsidized rail service. He kicked off his 1988 presidential campaign from the back of an Amtrak train and returned home on his last day as vice president in 2017.
He had hoped to recreate everyone's journey once more for his swearing-in. But after a briefing to FBI and Secret Service officials on the inauguration's security concerns, Mr Biden's team agreed the 90-minute train ride should be canceled, according to a person familiar with the decision. .
"The country has continued to learn more about the threat to our democracy and the potential for further violence in the coming days, both in the national capital region and in cities across the country," said the transition team in a statement after the briefing. Wednesday. "It's a challenge that the president-elect and his team take incredibly seriously."
Federal and local officials have warned of the prospect of extremist activity in Washington and the country in the coming days. Mr Biden had previously planned a muted inauguration given the public health risk of mass gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic. Many traditional gatherings and festivities will take place digitally during the day, and a prime-time special will air on TV online Wednesday evening.
Mr. Biden is still considering taking the oath in front of Capitol Hill. Earlier this week, he said he was "not afraid" to do so.

Facing deportation, they fled to the safety of a church. Now they are free.
Post date 25 December 2020
No Comments on Facing deportation, they fled to the safety of a church. Now they are free.
Hand in hand, Oneita and Clive Thompson danced outside the Tabernacle United Church in Philadelphia, fists raised in victory. The Jamaican couple had spent nearly two and a half years living in churches to avoid deportation.
Finally, they could walk freely.
"We won," Ms. Thompson, 48, told supporters who had gathered outside the church this week with hand-made bells and signs. It had been a grueling fight with many setbacks, but she said she never gave up hope that this day would come.
In 2018, after 14 years living and working legally in the United States and raising their seven children, Ms Thompson said she received startling news from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that she and her husband had four days to do their suitcases and leave the country.
The couple immigrated to the United States in 2004, fleeing gang violence and seeking asylum. Their request was refused, but they were granted permission, in one-year increments, to stay. They bought a house in Cedarville, NJ, where Ms Thompson worked as a nursing assistant caring for the elderly, and Mr Thompson as a heavy machine operator.
But as the Trump administration cracked down on immigration, the life they had worked for was suddenly turned upside down.
Returning to Jamaica would mean having to separate from their children, as it was too dangerous to take them there, Ms Thompson said.
"It wasn't even an option," she says.
She reached out to Peter Pedemonti, co-director of the New Sanctuary Movement in Philadelphia, who presented her with what she felt was the only viable option: seeking refuge in a church. For decades, families have lived in churches to avoid deportation and to buy time to persuade immigration officials to allow them to stay. The ICE has designated places of worship as "sensitive places" and generally stays away from them.
Across the country, about 40 people now live in shrines in churches, a practice that predates President Trump, Pedemonti said. But the length of their sanctuary has grown increasingly longer, as the administration radically changed immigration laws, making it more difficult to obtain asylum.
At another church in Philadelphia, a woman from Mexico has been at the shrine with her four children for three years, he said.
"During the Trump administration, we have had families who spent half or three quarters of their tenure taking refuge in congregations, fighting to keep their families together," Mr. Pedemonti said. "As a country, we have to sit with this for a minute."
In August 2018, the Thompsons packed their things and moved into Germantown's First United Methodist Church with two of their children, saying goodbye to the outside world. Four of their children no longer lived at home and one was left alone. The family lived in the church for two years before moving to Tabernacle United Church in September.
"Going behind the walls of a church, you can't see through the stained glass," Ms. Thompson said. "It's like a prison away from the prison. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The two children who joined them were both minors at the time and, being U.S. citizens, they were free to come and go. But their parents could only go to the door of the church, where they bid farewell each morning as their children left for school.
The couple spent their days praying, fasting and trying to stay healthy despite isolation by drinking green smoothies and exercising. They emailed Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey, Senator Bob Casey from Pennsylvania, and Representative Dwight Evans from Pennsylvania, who all visited them in the church and supported their cause.
At the same time, members of the New Sanctuary Movement were organizing demonstrations and vigils in front of the ICE offices.
Every month Ms Thompson cooked a Jamaican dinner, bringing together hundreds to raise money for the family as the couple could no longer work but still had children to support themselves and a mortgage to pay.
Those dinners ended as the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country, deepening their sense of isolation.
"When Covid struck, isolation isn't even the word," Ms Thompson said. "You feel like you have no one at all. You're just standing within the walls of the church.
After more than two years in lockdown, the couple learned in November that help would arrive via their eldest daughter. Because she is a US citizen, she was allowed to submit a "petition for a foreign relative," giving the Thompsons a way to stay in the country legally. But before it could submit an application, the ICE had to support the reopening of its case and the abandonment of the deportation order.
Ms Thompson got the news on December 10. She immediately printed the email to make it feel real.
"I had to look at him physically, touch him," she says. "I literally felt numb.
When the Thompsons finally came out free, Mr. Thompson couldn't stop dancing. Mrs. Thompson asked what was going on in her mind, and her thoughts echoed hers perfectly.
"My mind is free," he replied.

Three steps to living in complete safety
No Comments on Three steps to living in complete safety
Would you like to receive The Morning by email? Here is the inscription.
Hello. It will be a long and hard winter. We offer a three-step guide to living safely.
The most effective public health messages don't just tell people what not to do. They also tell people what they can do with only a small amount of risk.
This sometimes seems counterintuitive, as it gives people permission to take certain risks, rather than requiring maximum security all the time. In the long run, however, a more realistic approach is actually the safest, many experts say.
Human beings are social creatures. Most will not stay home for months. And pretending otherwise tends to backfire. This leads people to ignore public health advice and take needlessly high risks. "We need different, more nuanced, and more practical messages on coronavirus safety," wrote Sarit Golub, professor of psychology at Hunter College.
(Federal officials took a step in that direction this week by shortening the recommended quarantine period after exposure to the virus.)
Today I want to give you a three step guide on minimizing risk. It is based on a Times survey of 700 epidemiologists as well as my conversations with experts and colleagues, such as Donald G. McNeil Jr.
1. There is one behavior that you should try to eliminate, without exception: Spend time in a confined space (outside your home) where anyone is unmasked.
Don't eat indoors at a restaurant or at a friend's house. Don't have close, unmasked conversations anywhere, even outdoors. If you have to fly, try not to eat or drink on the plane. If you are going to work, don't eat lunch in the same room as your colleagues. Group lunches have led to outbreaks in hospitals and elsewhere.
2. It's best to minimize this next set of behaviors if you can't avoid it: Spend extended time in interior spaces, even with universal masking.
Masks are not perfect. If you can work out at home rather than at a gym – or do your job or attend church services remotely – you are lowering your risk.
3. Now for the best news: Many activities are less risky than some people think.
You don't need to wear a mask when walking or jogging. Donald, who is notoriously cautious, rides his bike without a mask. "I consider it more important to keep six feet away outside than to wear a mask," he told me. "If I have a birthday candle in my hand and you're too far away to blow it out, I can't inhale what you breathe out.
You may also feel good doing a lot of shopping. About 90 percent of the epidemiologists in our survey recently visited a grocery store, pharmacy, or other store. Just wear a mask, stay away from others, and wash your hands afterward.
The big picture: I find it useful to think about the concept of personal risk budget. I do not spend any part of my risk budget on supermarket purchases because grocery delivery works well for my family. But from time to time I take distant walks without a mask with a friend or two. They help me stay sane as we head into a long and very harsh winter.
For more: The survey of epidemiologists – carried out by Margot Sanger-Katz, Claire Cain Miller and Quoctrung Bui of The Times – has much more, including how they are considering a vaccine.
THE LAST NEWS
Two hurricanes struck Central America in rapid succession last month, and the destruction is only becoming clear: infrastructure, farmland and tens of thousands of homes are gone.
A rapid wildfire in southern California has spread to more than 6,000 acres so far this week and has forced the evacuation of 25,000 residents.
Artificial intelligence researcher Timnit Gebru and one of the few black women in her field said Google fired her after pushing the company to increase minority hiring and draw attention to racial prejudice integrated into AI systems.
Molly Gibson, a Tennessee baby born in October, set the record for the longest frozen embryo to result in a live birth, over 27 years.

The future of cinema
Even when the pandemic ends, the film industry will not quickly – or maybe never – return to the old normal.
Warner Bros., one of the best movie studios, acknowledged this yesterday by announcing that it will launch its entire 2021 film lineup on its streaming service, HBO Max, on the same day they hit US theaters. The list of 17 films includes blockbusters like "Dune", "The Matrix 4" and a sequel to "Suicide Squad".
"WarnerMedia calls this a 'one-year one-year plan,'" Brooks Barnes, reporter for the Times, tweeted. "But there will be no turning back. HBO Max needs the content, and consumers won't just say "oh, okay" when they can't get instant access. "
WarnerMedia has its own reasons for emphasizing streaming. He wants to expand HBO Max – which has struggled to attract subscribers since its introduction in May – into a streaming service that can compete with Netflix and Disney Plus. Warner Bros. is also a studio powerful enough that the change "has the capacity to overturn the theatrical model that so many people have relied on for so long," Nicole Sperling, a Times reporter told us.
Outside of the United States, where HBO Max is not yet available, Warner's 2021 films will receive traditional theatrical releases. To get a feel for how theaters are doing in some countries where the virus is better controlled: In October, more than 3.4 million people in Japan turned out to see an animated film, "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train ", during its opening weekend.
Yesterday's Spelling Bee pangram was strongly. Today's puzzle is above – or you can play it online if you have a Games membership.

Their pandemic safety plan starts with a 'decontamination station'
No Comments on Their pandemic safety plan starts with a 'decontamination station'
Quentin and Stacy Blakley opened the 'decontamination station' in their home garage as the coronavirus pandemic took hold in Georgia in March and never closed it. Mr Blakley, 45, an Atlanta firefighter based at the city's international airport, uses it to protect his family from a job that exposes him to strangers on a daily basis. At the end of each 24-hour shift for air emergencies and medical calls, he returns home to South Fulton, Ga., And removes his uniform in the garage. No exceptions. He takes a shower away from Stacy, 45, and their four sons – ages 14, 12 and a set of 9-year-old twins – then throws his clothes into a laundry bag. Finally, Mr. Blakley walks into his house.
Quentin I work at the busiest airport in the world, which means I am in contact with a lot of people. I have to decontaminate myself before I can deal with my wife and sons. We have learned a lot more about how Covid-19 spreads since its launch, but there is still so much we don't know. If we get a call at the airport, we have to pass hundreds of people, some up close, to reach this patient who needs help. Anyone could wear it. So, I'm just as careful and careful as possible to make sure I don't bring anything home.
Stacy We all learned the term "frontline worker" during the pandemic. This is what Quentin has been doing for 15 years. And yes, it's scary when you think of the environment he's in for a 24 hour shift. As soon as the pandemic started, we set up the garage for him. I call it the decontamination station.
Stacy Quentin has high blood pressure and after finding blood clots in his legs, he was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Data shows that African Americans with pre-existing conditions are more susceptible to this virus. I never really told him about it, but it made my stress levels worse. I think, he's my husband and the father of my four boys. I don't like the term fear, but that's what it was.
Stacy We were both dealing with stress, but we also relate it to our families.
Quentin I grew up watching my dad struggle with diabetes and having to take insulin shots.
Stacy My father had a stroke at 36 and died of a heart attack at 54.
Quentin There was also the fear speech. I had to sit the boys down and explain to them what the pandemic was. I told them that society had changed and we had to change too. I had to try to contain their fears. Like everyone else, they heard on television that 1,000 people had understood or 800 people had died. All they hear are numbers and death, and that shook them at first. And they said, "Daddy, you deal with the public, what does that mean to you?" And I said, "It means I have to do everything in my power to stay safe and protect you."
Stacy The boys were real soldiers. We had to do something as a family. So we started cycling. I picked up my old 10 speed bike from my mom's garage and we got it fixed. We walked around the neighborhood and the trails. This is now our new family outing.
Stacy I am a civil engineer. My job was eliminated because of Covid-19. It was in April. And now I have this new life as a teacher for my children who are at home. And honestly, it's scary when you're used to a paycheck every two weeks. At the same time, I always wanted my own engineering firm. I created it in 2016 as a safe space for everyone, especially women and people of color, but I really haven't brought it to life until now. It's called Douglas Consulting Group, after my father's name. On the one hand, oh my God, I lost my job. On the other hand, oh my God, look at this opportunity to do this full time.

Q: How to compute message-digest in a SignerInfo? I'm trying to generate a pdf with LTV enabled. I generate a pkcs7 object with all the attributes necesary included the signerInfo object. The signature generated is valid but not LTV enabled. According to the PDF reference manual i need to include validation info (CRLS or OCSP...) and based on rfc3852 this content goes in the signedAttributes object and it must contain a content-type attribute and a message-digest attribute. My question is how to compute the message-digest value and is it necesary to sign alongside the pdf content?
Note: the adbe-revocationInfoArchival object containing the CRLs seems to be correct since acrobat reads the revocation info directly from the file. The only issue i seem to have is the message-digest included in the signedAttrs object and/or the signature value is not computed correctly. RFC is not very clear on what that message-digest should be or if it should be included in the digest that will be signed with the signers private key.

A: After some back and forth in the comments to the question I'm still not sure what information you need, so here a few thoughts in general on the structure and contents of non-trivial CMS signature containers for PDF signatures.
The Specifications
First off, though, some words on the specifications to use. You mention the PDF reference manual and rfc3852. Both actually are not state-of-the-art anymore, but interestingly one less than the other.

*

*Originally the Adobe PDF References for PDF up to 1.7 were the documentation to look at. Unfortunately Adobe saw these references as not normative in nature, i.e. if the current Reference and the current Acrobat version disagreed on something, the program was correct, not the Reference!
The latest Adobe PDF Reference (for PDF 1.7) referred to RFC 2315 for the structure of the signature container.

*Then Adobe transferred the authority over the format PDF to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) who in 2008 published the first normative PDF specification, ISO 32000-1, which was very similar to the last PDF Reference in content but adopted the RFC'ish language.
ISO 32000-1 refers both to RFC 3852 and RFC 2315 for the structure of the signature container. Which is weird, but most likely the remaining RFC 2315 reference was an oversight.

*In 2017 the ISO published a PDF specification for PDF 2.0, ISO 32000-2, with a number of relevant changes, also in the context of signing.
ISO 32000-2 refers to RFC 5652 for the structure of the signature container for adbe.pkcs7.detached signatures and to ETSI EN 319 122 for the structure of the signature container for ETSI.CAdES.detached signatures.

*In 2020 the ISO updated ISO 32000-2 with a number of clarifications; the references for the signature container specification remained the same.
Thus, currently you should look at ISO 32000-2:2020 and RFC 5652.
CMS Signature Containers
In a late comment you say

I want to know how do i add these attributes to the final digest to sign. I'm using SHA to digest the pdf, then sign it with the rsa private key and build the pkcs7 structure including the certificate chain, the signed message and a timestamp as an unsigned attribute.

This procedure can only create simple signature containers without signed attributes as only in these simple containers the document hash is signed directly. But the adbe-revocationInfoArchival attribute you want to add must be a signed attribute, and as soon as signed attributes are involved, the document hash value is not signed directly anymore.
The CMS signature container contains a SignedData object with exactly one SignerInfo object. That SignerInfo object is defined as
  SignerInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
    version CMSVersion,
    sid SignerIdentifier,
    digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithmIdentifier,
    signedAttrs [0] IMPLICIT SignedAttributes OPTIONAL,
    signatureAlgorithm SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier,
    signature SignatureValue,
    unsignedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnsignedAttributes OPTIONAL }

(RFC 5652 section 5.3. "SignerInfo Type")
In a signature container created by your working code the OPTIONAL signedAttrs are absent and the signature value is calculated immediately for the document hash.
As soon as there are signed attributes, though, the OPTIONAL signedAttrs is not absent anymore, instead it is a SET of Attribute instances including at least

*

*a content-type attribute with id-data as value,

*a message-digest attribute with the digest value of the to-be-signed PDF byte ranges as value,

*and in your case an adbe-revocationInfoArchival attribute with the revocation information as value.

In this case the signature value is not calculated immediately for the document hash anymore but instead for the hash value of the signedAttrs!
To be more exact, it is calculated for the hash value of the complete DER encoding thereof, and not with the IMPLICIT [0] tag but with an EXPLICIT SET OF tag.
Thus, after using SHA to digest the pdf you instead of signing it with the rsa private key and building the pkcs7 structure proceed by

*

*building the set of signed attributes with at least the attribute entries enumerated above, DER encoding that set and hashing it,

*signing that hash value of the signed attributes with your private key, and

*building the CMS signature container structure with these signed attributes and this signature value, and also with the certificate chain.

Additionally you may add a signature time stamp.

Save with 4 flavor pack of Cleure travel size toothpaste. Great way to try all flavors. Brush with Cleure no-fluoride toothpaste 2x per day for fresh breath and a brighter smile. Safe for sensitive teeth. Studies report xylitol helps promote saliva as well as help prevent cavities. Safe if swallowed. Includes: Original (no flavor, with great taste), Cinnamon, Cranberry, Citrus Delite (Lemon-Lime). All flavors are mint-free.
These travel toothpastes pair wonderfully with our Cinnamon Breath Spray.
1. Rinse with Cleure Mouthwash.
directed by your dentist or hygienist.
4. Brush your gums gently, but thoroughly as well.
5. Clean your tongue with Cleure Tongue Cleaner.
7. Swish your mouth with Cleure Mouthwash.
8. In between meals, chew Cleure Gum.
I've been using Cleure's original toothpaste for about a year now. Having become extremely sensitive to mint flavoring, I tried many of the so-called "sensitive" toothpastes, but could tolerate none, until I found Cleure. What a blessing! On my recent re-order, I decided to also try the travel sized selection, which include not only the original toothpaste, but also cinnamon, cranberry, and citrus delite, hoping the flavors would not be overwhelming. I absolutely love each of the flavors, with citrus delite being my favorite. The flavorings are pleasantly light, and they don't burn my mouth and gums. I will definitely buy the larger tubes next time. Thanks Cleure!
I'm really liking all the flavors, thanks!
My teeth finally feel clean! The Original is best, but even the hint of flavor in the three options is mild and pleasant. Thank you for making this and I'm glad I found it!

Play "Your Guardian Angel"
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you...
Dec 2nd, 2006 12:44pm report
Yeah, I think this song is more about loving someone so much, that if it came down to a situation where you would have to die to save them, you would save them.
Esparanza
I think the person above is right. There's a guy who's fallen for his good friend but wants to be more tehn freinds and he's admiting his feeligs for her. He doesn't want her to reject him, he wants to be her hero and would do anything to protcet her, even if it killed him.
Dec 5th, 2006 12:56pm report
i reckon this song is about a guy being really good friends with a girl but she's taken or not interested and he's saying to her that he can be the one, and hell always be there for her that's what I feel anyway
Sep 18th, 2017 9:18am report
I think it's a song about someone who is close to dying or is dead and they are their friends guardian angel
Mar 21st, 2017 3:57pm report
I used to think this was about a couple. That was my situation then... That was before I listened to this song as a mother. I think it's a parent talking to their child. Plain and simple.
Dec 12th, 2014 12:21am report
This is something that could be put author friends is what I thought of when I first heard it.my friends mean the world to me and will always be there when I need them most.no one is right or wrong in this interpretation of the song it is different for everyone depending on what is going on in their live at that moment.so as for me it's my friends though they probably wouldn't believe me I would give my life for them if it came down to it I love them more than they could realize when I am able to make one of them smile when life is giving them hell I cry I have crude for my friends that hide behind fake smiles.NOT EVERYTHING IS A LOVE SONG!!!!
Oct 26th, 2012 10:05pm report
My boyfriend just sent this song to me. I know he's going through hardships right now but he refuses to tell me. This song, to me, is a description of a guy's undying love for his girlfriend. He'll always be there for her through whatever even though she may be confused. She's on the verge of walking away because she doesn't understand whats going on with the guy. He's pleading for her to stay because that is his true love.

The incredible gift that musicians give us is their ability to write songs that not only interpret life through their eyes and stories but they give us the opportunity to take their words, emotions and vulnerability and make it connect with each and everyone who listens to it and connect to it in different ways. Lyrics are not written to be wrong or right, they are written to express deep emotional soul impacting expression. The writer, the reader and the listener or whoever will take each song and interpret it in his or her own unique and individuslistic way. No answer given here is wrong or right as I can see. That's what makes music so amazingly powerful to us. Granted we do have some musicians that dont put any thought or care into what they put out there and we have some outstanding musicians and lyricists that will blow your mind and truly get into your brain, and this is one song that has power lyrics and powerful meanings to many. Ronnie wrote this song about something dear to his heart. When I first heard this song at their first concert, to me instantly it was my father trying to make amends beyond the grave after he killed himself. I have the song tattooed as a tribute and constant reminder that even though my father saving me sent him to heaven I finally forgave him and now I am free. If I didn't interpret this song that way 25 years later I probably would not be here today.

Um I think this song is about from a guy to the girl he loves. RJA is Christian, so I think the "Even if saving you sends me to heaven" is to be taken literally. As you would be willing to lay down your own life for them, and then to be in the presence of God.

i don't know what was meant in this song by the writer....but for me its about"protecting our mother nature" really it suits well....when i see your smile tears roll down my face i can't replace(we can't replace her with technologies)....and now that I'm strong I have figured out (to protect it)
how this world turns cold (means destroying her ) and it breaks through my soul ,and I know i'll find deep inside me, I can be the one.(to protect you)
I will never let you fall (stop deforestation)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven. It's ok. it's ok. it's ok.
Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
and stars are falling all for us (all things happen to maintain the ecological balance) days grow longer (for photosynthesis) and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one. ................this way i get it and i love this song

This is just about a guy who loves a girl who doesn't love him back, but still he'll do anything for her. "When I see your face, tears run don't my face I can't replace" - The girl is with someone else and he's hurt cause he can't be the one to make her happy. "And now that I'm stronger I've figured out how this world turns cold and breaks through my soul, and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one"- Seeing her with another guy breaks him, but still he lives on hoping someday she'll like him back.

All the members of the band are christian so when they say"Even if saving you sends me to heaven" I think hes saying ill die for you but scence he is a christian he is going to heaven.

" Use me as you will
pull my strings just for a thrill"
in my opinion.. means basically this guy loves this women ( or male. i dont judge) and is literally telling this person to do whatever they want with him he isnt going anywhere he isnt backing down. he loves this person with every fiber of his being and this is devotion to them. and by saying " i will never let you fall ill stand up with you forever" is in my opinion showing his everlasting support for this person. saying basically that no matter the path they choose he will be there to support them even if it means death. just my opinion
Jul 27th, 2011 7:46pm report
My interpretation is that he has fallen in love with his best friend who is suicidal, and this song is him professing his love to her and trying to convince her to stay and not kill herself. Because she means more to him and he will be there for her through anything because he truly loves her. idk if anyone else interpreted it that way, but I truly think it's him trying to convince the girl he loves that she's not alone and that he will make everything okay because she is the most important thing to him. He has been with her through everything so far and has fallen in love with her. He doesn't want to lose her
Apr 3rd, 2011 4:16pm report
Basicallly this is about a guy telling his girlfriend or wife that he would do anything for her and that he will always protect her even if it kills him.
Mar 31st, 2011 3:34am report
This song is somewhat BS (So sad but I like it) for me, it turns a cold hearted person in his submissive form.
My interpretation of this song as follows:
1. He or She will be a Hero to that person whom he considered as special and important. Well, not just your typical hero, Knight in shining armor idea, but a Hero who's there for you when you least expect it, a hero who's willing to adapt or enter your circle just to be there for you and a hero that you could always rely own. "If you hire a sell sword you better watch your back, hire me and I'll watch it for you" -Kazandu Blademaster
2. This song means that when all else fails, you have no regrets or whatsoever to be with the person you loved the most. Despite that he/she dumped you at the end, you're always be there for him/her no matter what. To lay down your very existence in order to see him/her safe. "Live for nothing and Die for something" -Forgot the movie where this is ^__^
3. Finding a true love in the verge of Darkness. There's a saying that "Every person has it's own Angel to be with at the end." well, in this song, the person wrote it was inspired by that Angel of his. He wanted to create a Legacy that could immortalize the Love for his Angel.
Just like Dante did when he immortalizes his True Love Beatrice.
4. Lastly, this song could be associated by Bret Hart's quote "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be". Because I also see in this song that the man (I could show you I'll be the one...) literally making a statement that he is the one for the person he loves the most. "Someday, someone will best me. But it won't be today, and it won't be you."
Mar 20th, 2011 3:48pm report
i definitely agree that this song does not have to be a romantic relationship, its just telling someone how much they mean to you, and letting them know you would do anything for them.
Jan 22nd, 2011 1:06pm report
This song has recently come to my attention in an unexpected way, at a time in need. The lyrics are almost fitting. My boyfriend, my soulmate and best friend of 14 years took his own life. He was an amazing person who had been given a tough deal in life and he struggled to cope. He wanted to give me and our daughter so much but was too weak emotionally to fulfill his dream. He would often turn to drink to fight his demons.I found it difficult at times to deal with his depression and it was starting to take its toll on me,our relationship and obviously have an impact on our much loved child. I had never heard this song before or of the RJA's until a few days after he passed, the way I came across it was bizarre, put it this way I didn't look it up, it came to me out the blue and believe me I needed it to help me through. I arranged for this to be played as the last funeral song. (The whole of the lyrics are very moving and the music just tops it off.) They carried the coffin out of the church when it went all rocky at the end (very powerful). I could interpretate the whole song for you in my eyes and situation. I feel so much through this song almost as if hes given it to me, its very close to my heart. He may not be around in body but he is in spirit and he is looking out for me and wants to see me smile, hes letting me know he will stand up with me forever and that he is strong now and that he can be who he wants to be and fulfill what he wanted. It's also letting me know It's okay and he's okay . And the 'tell me you'll stay' part, I believe to stay loving him always and not turn my back on him. This was a big help to me as I planned his celebration of his life, his certain family members who had never been around or supported us previous, made my life hell after everything I had been through, knowing he had my back made me strong for him, while they played silly games, not to let them take over and to give him the send off he deserved! I played the song constant at the time and still do now when I miss him it helps me to feel close. And knowing hes gone to heaven makes me feel good because its everything I believe in. My Guardian Angel. Beautiful in so many ways (and the song). Thanks RJA's as a musician myself I respect who you are and your music your amazing!!
p.s listen to it again wow thanks for reading

Ambitious Quebec maritime strategy blueprint faces funding issues
by Leo Ryan
SODES
The Quebec government that came to power in April 2014 plans to outline by June a sweeping maritime strategy blueprint seeking to transform the St. Lawrence River into a competitive gateway of choice for continental logistics and for trans-Atlantic trade in the coming years. Billions of dollars of public and private investments in infrastructure would be involved if the ambitious scheme meets expectations.
Certainly, it is motivated in part by the prospect of increased commercial exchanges expected to be generated by a Canada-European Union free trade agreement that could be ratified by 2016. In addition, the expansion of the Panama Canal promises to boost the flow of goods between Asia and the East Coast of North America.
Jean D'Amour, Quebec Minister for Transport and the Implementation of Maritime Strategy, has been picked by Premier Couillard to lead the charge for articulating what would historically represent the first such comprehensive blueprint in this crucial sector of the Quebec economy.
Moreover, it is being qualified as a cornerstone of overall economic policy – an element that has not failed to make a favourable impression on Quebec marine industry circles and such associations as the St. Lawrence Economic Development Council (SODES), despite underlying skepticism on the plan's achievability.
Illustrating his continued strong interest in the maritime strategy file, Premier Couillard paid a visit to the Port of Antwerp (Europe's leading maritime trading partner with Canada) in January on his way to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Some 30 ports are situated on the St. Lawrence River, including Montreal, a container port on the Eastern Seaboard and Sept-Iles, the continent's largest iron ore port. The 10,000 ship calls through the 1,200-km corridor generate 110 million tonnes of cargo annually.
Addressing an industry conference in Montreal in February, D'Amour reiterated the provincial Liberal government's plans to create 30,000 new jobs between now and 2030 by investing $3 billion in infrastructure, intermodal improvements and other undertakings encompassing ports, shipyards and shortsea coastal activities. The government scenario also assumes that private investors will be prepared to invest up to an additional $4 billion over the next 15 years,
What he called "the Quebec of tomorrow" must be ready to meet severe competitive challenges for ensuring a smooth and efficient flow of goods.
Thanks to a strong geographic position, D'Amour said Quebec was well placed to capitalize on increased trade with Europe. To encourage more enterprises to set up operations in Quebec, he said planned regulatory changes would provide for simpler and more rapid procedures for industries than is presently the case, compared with other Canadian provinces.
Already in motion, the minister said, were various projects at the ports of Montreal, Sept-Iles, and Contrecoeur as well as the first ferry that will be powered by natural gas.
He disclosed plans to create initially eight "industrialo-port zones" – with a first wave to be launched in the coming months. In this regard, he pointed to Valleyfield, a growing logistics centre near Montreal.
To encourage Quebec shipowners, including cruise and cargo carriers, the 2014-2015 budget accords an additional capital cost allowance of 50% for the construction and renovation of vessels.
Financial funding challenges
But observers consider that, in the present tense climate of contract negotiations with Quebec's civil service and key departments, serious questions persist on the capacity of the government to financially maintain the lofty goals of maritime strategy. Some hints should be offered in the 2015-2016 budget slated for this spring.
Meanwhile, Claude Comtois, a geography and logistics professor at the Université de Montreal, suggests that a heavy assignment lies ahead for bringing Quebec infrastructure up to world standards as seen in China and Europe. "This is not negotiable – it will have to be visually in place over the next 10 years."
According to Comtois, at least $250 million in new government funding should be allocated annually for expanding and improving certain infrastructures and adding such features as multi-task berths. "Otherwise, it will not be credible."
At the same industry conference, Eric Tétrault, President of Manufacturers Exporters Quebec, was similarly candid.
"We need to create," he said, "a supply chain and a logistics chain so we can export in greater quantities at lower cost. Basically, It's as simple and as complicated as that. As one says in English, we will have to walk the talk."

For this task, I was asked to capture the essence of nighttime, the cool tones, the deep shadows, the mystery and isolation, without the use of long exposure as I did a couple of challenges back.
I needed something different this time. I knew I had to play with ISO, cracking it up to about 3200 and introduce some noise, so I was looking for a subject that would isolate itself in the dark.
I started by taking pictures of small, dark alleyways, abandoned bikes and telephone booths. Nothing seemed to work. Those were images seen before. Also, there was no colour in any of them. Apart from that washed yellow light from the lamp post.
After more than an hour in the cold streets of London, I started giving up, thinking that I will need some great editing skills to make my images stand out. Until I came up against the building in this picture.
It was the most beautiful sight I saw that night. The colours, the patterns, the shadows, the isolation, the bikes on the balconies… Everything blended harmoniously in this unique synthesis. That was the subject of my study!
I ended up using my 24mm lens with 3200 ISO at f/5.0. I had lots of darks and shadows to play with, so I introduced some noise and artificial exposure during post.
This capture is one of my favourites so far.


How log will it run in days ?
And if you put a night detector ?
It can run more than 15 hours continuously using an AA battery. Yes, putting a night detector can be a nice idea and an LDR can do the job with a voltage divider circuit.

The Day of the Immaculate Conception, or Día de la Inmaculada Concepción is a very significant holiday around the world. It celebrates the Roman Catholic belief of The Blessed Virgin Mary's immaculate conception in her mother's womb and is considered the first official day of Christmas celebrations for many people. It lands on December 8th every year, just nine months before the celebration of the Nativity of Mary (September 8th) and most Catholic nations – like Spain – observe it with a day off!
The earliest recording of this feast day is in 5th century Syria as a celebration of the "normal" conception of the mother of god. The holiday began to spread west across Europe and England until it became a mandatory practice around the 8th century. The concept of Mary's "immaculate" and "pure" conception did not come into play until the mid 15th century under the Council of Trent. Today, the holiday is observed by people all over the world – in Italy, Spain, Austria, many countries in Latin America and more! In Panama, the holiday is coupled with Mother's Day in honour of the all the special mums out there. Aside from enjoying a nice day off (and maybe even a 5 day weekend since the 6th is also a civic holiday in Madrid), families and friends will attend their local church and probably eat a massive family meal together. There are no major processions or parades on this day, so just sit back and enjoy the free day!


Have any of your favourites won?
These three restaurants are all winners this year.
The winners of the Derby Food and Drink Awards for this year have just been announced.
Restaurants, pubs and bars across Derby and the nearby area were judged in 10 categories this year.
And the best in each category was given a prize at a flashy awards ceremony on Monday evening at Derby Roundhouse.
The event included a presentation from Andrew Smyth, finalist in the Great British Bake-Off 2016.
This year is the 10th official Derby Food and Drink Awards, and you may see some familiar faces on this list from last year's awards.
Most of the category winners were chosen by independent judges from the category's sponsor, but the Best Customer Service category was judged by Derbyshire Live readers.
Terroir Bistro in Friar Gate, owned by Tim Sidaway.
Hayley Baddiley, global marketing director of Denby Pottery, said: "All three short-listed restaurants were of a really high standard for their food quality and service and thoroughly deserved to be nominees, speaking volumes for the way Derby's food and drink offer has evolved in recent years.
"Each of the three venues were very different in style, presentation and ambiance but based on the meals and experiences assessed, the winner, Terroir Bistro, stood out for ticking all the boxes; its approach to ingredients, the memorable food, the quirky, cosy decor and friendly, knowledgeable service.
"We congratulate all three short-listed venues and wish them lots of success".
April Hayhurst, deputy principal at Derby College, said: "We are extremely proud to be hosting the Derby Food and Drink Awards again this year which showcase the best of the best in the city's hospitality industry.
"It is totally appropriate that these annual awards are staged here at The Roundhouse which is one of the city's top and most iconic events venues.
"The Roundhouse is also our Technical and Professional Skills College – including catering and hospitality – and is training the next generation of chefs and front of house professionals in this industry.
Natalie Bamford, managing director of DerbyDaysOut, said: "We chose Buttermilk as our winner because it was clear that they go above and beyond to ensure families are made welcome.
"They provided lovely extras such as colouring books, pencils crayons and children's books which were great to have whilst waiting for our food to arrive.
"They have a great children's menu with hot and cold options. The food came with child friendly plates, bowls, cups and utensils - another nice touch.
"The baby changing facilities are nice and clean which is always great to see.
"We received a warm welcome and the atmosphere was friendly. Thank you Buttermilk for looking after families so well, the DerbyDaysOut family thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can't wait to visit again.
"We highly recommend it to other families."
Simon Leaf, facilities manager at Derby Riverlights said: "Riverlights is delighted to sponsor the awards which showcases Derby's best eateries and bars and honours all that the Derby food and drink scene has to offer.
"Congratulations to Anoki, a superb dining experience in every sense."
The Squashed Tomato in The Strand.
Senior lecturer and programme leader at the University of Derby, Bev Crighton, said: "This was the whole experience and package - they were so kind and polite to all the customers, the food was well cooked and presented, the atmosphere perfect.
Managing director of Irongate, Adam Noble, said: "Suds and Soda represents what is great about the Derby food and drink scene, offering a unique and new experience for the drinker looking to taste something different.
"Suds offers an incredible selection of superb crafts beers from the UK and across the world, hosted in a quirky and unique environment, creating its own vibrant atmosphere."
The Exeter Arms pub in Exeter Place.
Sarah Drew, marketing manager at Mortgage Advice Bureau, who headed the judging panel for best pub, said: "We chose the Exeter Arms as the best pub because their bar snacks were by far the best, and there was an excellent selection of real ale, beers, gins and wines.
Steve Hall, Editor in Chief of the Derby Telegraph, said: "We are delighted to award Best Customer Service to Portobello this year after a close public vote.
"This is an incredibly important category because making sure that people have a great experience is, in our opinion, just as important as serving up great food.
This category was judged by popular vote on our website and counted the result at a cut-off point on Monday, September 24.
Gareth Evans, presenter of Smooth Breakfast said: "It was so difficult to judge as the standard was spectacularly high and all three nominees were worthy of being crowned winner.
"The produce at Hackwood Farm was just so fresh and the surroundings were delightful."
This award was given to the Palfrey as the judges felt that the owners had proven their resilience over the past year.
After the restaurant's original building went up in flames on October 29, 2017, the owners have fought to keep the brand alive, relocating it temporarily to The Post House in Victoria Street.
It has now moved back to its home in Blacksmith's Yard, Sadler Gate, and opened its doors to the public again last weekend.

You can now click on the 'to' square first when making a move by clicking squares (instead of dragging).
The ECO code and opening description appear in every ebook window. This can be turned off to allow opening code editing as in the past.
The Commands menu has Add Moves That Transpose as in the legacy version.
The Commands menu has Add Pedigree Moves that will add any moves that reach a position in the Pedigree database.
At startup, an ICC integration wizard will run. It works with ICC for Windows to set up "watched PGN" entries for all the ICC log files.
The past moves font size changes immediately after editing the program setting.
Transposition 'T' is now in red.
Keying in moves now works.
Clipboard contents are no longer erased when the program starts.
The Watch PGN Files functions have been added. They are described in this YouTube video.
Fixes the ERangeError and error 216.
The file name area was widened in the dialog before importing PGN.
Arrow key navigation has been added. When the candidate list has the focus (after clicking on it) the right arrow key plays the highlighted move, the left arrow key takes back moves and the up and down arrow keys select candidate moves.
Renaming and deleting ebooks are now functional.
Enhanced startup log file ChessOpeningsWizardStartupLog.TXT in the documents folder to help track down the ERangeError during startup.
A change was made in the startup to calculate elapsed time differently. It is hoped that is will fix the issue.
Added the startup log file.
Game window is complete. Games stored in PGN format can now be viewed and animated.
no games. Now it correctly brings in all games in White player order.
1.d4 g5?? 2.Nf3 each show results from the Pedigree tree even though no games start with 1.d4 g5.
The search games, move order tree doesn't show …g5 as a candidate. Fixed.
Copying and pasting FEN notation works.
The display of candidate moves has been redesigned in an effort to fix problems with clicking on candidate moves being ignored.
Crashing on exit with the engine on is fixed.
Double clicking on the list of open ebook windows in the main window will switch to the window.
Engine logging is now an option in the program settings.
Ebook windows can be restored to their default settings.
1) Un-install the previous test version (build 48 or 50 or 55 probably) before installing this one. To un-install the program, click the Start button, choose All Programs and scroll down to click Bookup BETA and then choose Uninstall Chess Openings Wizard 2016 BETA.
3) Run the program and enter your product key. The program takes the same product key you currently use for Chess Openings Wizard Professional. To see the product key in your current copy of Chess Openings Wizard, run the current program and choose Help | About Chess Openings Wizard. You can highlight and copy the key (Ctrl-Insert) to make it easy paste the key (Shift-Insert) into the new test program.
Let me know right away if you have problems with your product key.
FIXED: The sample ebooks were converted with an earlier test version. The red 'T' transposition indicator doesn't appear in those ebooks.
The program is having trouble with underpromotions (promoting a pawn to a knight) (Ron G.) You can type in an underpromotion.
FIXED: vulcorp found error 216. This error appears to be fixed in build 50.
FIXED: Ricardo (discovercheck) found Range Check error in build 48 using Komodo3-32 engine.
A startup log file has been added (and expanded in build 47) in order to track down the source of the error. The current guess is that this error results if Windows has not been rebooted for the last 23 days.
FIXED: Build 40 can mysteriously not display the list of past moves in the scoresheet area to the right of the diagram.
Xavier B. reports that changing the language letter to P for a Knight ends up displaying a figurine for a pawn.
FIXED: Changing engines requires restarting the program.
FIXED: The icon doesn't appear correctly. It has a "Delphi" icon rather than the red bishop.
Geoffrey B. reports that only the top candidate can be played by clicking it.
Assumed fixed: Lloyd B. reports "invalid product key." I tested his key and it works so I'm hoping it's an issue with copying and pasting it correctly.
FIXED: Hud D. reports blank assessments after importing PGN that should have assessments for each game. Waiting on a copy of that PGN file for testing.
Stan R. reports that the splitter bar below the past moves pane also moves the top splitter bar. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the splitter bars to behave as expected.
FIXED: Stan R. reports the bug where changes to a position (such as deleting a candidate move) are not saved if the very next thing you do is close the ebook.
Build 32 corrects a database problem found in all prior test versions. Any data you have made with prior versions should be deleted (moved to the Recycle Bin) before running the new build. Attempting to open them will cause error messages.
The installer allows you to select your own folder for the sample data (which works) but the program ignores your selection and starts looking in the default folder. You can of course open ebooks wherever you want to store them.
If you import a PGN file containing tactics or puzzles (FEN notation) and use the same starting name/number for those positions it will fail with an error message. To work around this, don't import the same file twice if it contains FEN notation or pick a different starting name/number for those positions.
Below this line are the instructions for testing previous builds.
Build 16 added importing PGN files.
1) Did the installer work? Did the program run successfully after installation?
The program should create unique folders and groups (labeled "ALPHA") so that nothing is changed about your current Chess Openings Wizard install.
Note: This test installer is not digitally signed. Windows will warn you that the Publisher is Unknown.
2) Did the program allow you to create a new ebook and then add the contents of your existing ebooks?
Please try this with each of your existing ebooks. If the program has any problem adding your ebooks to an ebook in in the format let me know as much as you can about the problem (error messages, for example). I may want you to send me your ebook for further testing. This is important as I want every ebook made by every customer to be able to move smoothly to the new format.
The new format is a single file. This "alpha" test does not move multimedia content or PGN games.
Press the button labeled Create New Ebook.
You do not have to type in the .4MD extension, just the name of the ebook.
Select the ebook you want to add to the new empty ebook you just opened.
The progress bar will not change as the positions are being added from your existing ebooks. (This is due to a limitation in the legacy database code.) The number of positions being added will be shown. After the ebook's contents have been added, you can choose File|About This Ebook… to check the number of positions.
Click through the moves in the book to be sure everything is in order. You can add new moves and edit the comments. Most everything else has been disabled for this test.
The File|AddEbook… function will add the contents of new ebooks and the progress bar will correctly show how far along the process has gone.
3) Did it uninstall correctly?
Testing the uninstaller is critical. After you have completed testing the ability of the program to add the contents of your existing ebooks to ebooks in the new format, uninstall the program.
Note: Do not keep the new ebooks. It is VERY likely that the final version will create ebooks in an expanded format. The final version of the program will not be able to open the test ebooks made by this "alpha" test version.
To run the uninstaller, click on the Windows Start button, choose All Programs, Bookup ALPHA, Uninstall Chess Openings Wizard ALPHA.
After the uninstaller has run, the Chess Openings Wizard folder should remain in your Documents folder but the Ebooks folder should only contain the ebooks that you created. All sample ebooks, fonts, etc. should have been deleted during the uninstall process. Again, do not keep the new ebooks.
When you are done testing this version you should delete the Chess Openings Wizard ALPHA folder in your Documents folder. To delete a folder in Windows Explorer, right click on the folder and choose Delete. Then click the Yes button to move it to the Recycle Bin.
Thanks! Your help in testing the program makes sure that the final version will reliably move your data to the new format.
Why the new data format? The new format places all of your ebook's data into a single file. That makes it simple to share your ebooks with your friends, your students and your chess coach. Just copy that file and you have a working backup. The new format is also portable to the Macintosh and to the upcoming iPhone and iPad apps.
