'Just writing cheques': Liberals' dairy payout could deepen competitiveness concerns, critics say
Canada's $1.75-billion compensation package for dairy farmers will be based on "hypothetical losses" rather than hard evidence of lost profits due to trade deals, food policy analysts say.
What's more, the payouts risk exacerbating competitiveness issues in the industry by failing to link compensation to productivity benchmarks.
"We're setting out $1.75 billion to 'quote-unquote' compensate dairy farmers without really having a strategy to understand what the implications are from a trade perspective," said Sylvain Charlebois, a professor in food distribution and policy, and scientific director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "That's a key thing. We know that market access will increase and it's likely we'll need less domestic milk but we don't know how much. So we're just writing cheques."
The package for dairy farmers, unveiled by Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau on Friday, is intended to offset lost sales caused by the expanded market access granted to foreign producers under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Those pacts will open up roughly eight per cent of Canada's highly protected dairy market, where prices have long been kept high by a complex system of supply management involving production quotas, fixed prices and import tariffs and quotas.
Supporters of the system say it is critical to ensure U.S. products don't flood across the border, threatening food sovereignty and putting Canadian dairy farmers and farms at risk of being pushed out by competition. Critics point out that Canada is the last industrialized country to operate such as system and its dairy industry has failed to keep up with some of the productivity gains and expansions that have taken place in other countries. It also raises prices for consumers, they argue.
A 2014 study by the IFCN Dairy Research Center at the University of Kiel in Germany found the cost of milk production by mid- and large-size farms in Canada was the second-highest in the world after Switzerland.
With that in mind, the government's compensation dollars would have been better spent if they were tied to clear sustainability and competitiveness goals, Charlebois said.
… if we want to keep (the quota system) we have to make sure it's serving the country well
Sylvain Charlebois, scientific director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University
"I'm not saying we should get rid of our quota system, but if we want to keep it we have to make sure it's serving the country well," he said. "Some dairy farmers are doing very well and reinvesting in their farms and becoming more competitive, but others are just drifting and that's costing a lot of money. If farmers want to stay in the industry they should be made accountable for their productivity or they should be enticed to exit."
The market access granted under Canada's latest trade deals represents a direct loss of profits that the government promised to cover, said Murray Sherk, chair of the board for the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.
"Dairy doesn't like to look to the government for payments; we'd rather have the market share but we're very pleased with the package," he added. "And supply management provides a system of predictable pricing that encourages farmers to invest more in their operations, to be more efficient."
The extra cash flowing into dairy farms comes when they are already overcapitalized — creating a problem for the next generation of farmers, said Al Mussell, research lead at Agri-Food Economic Systems in Guelph, Ont. Indeed, though an ideal return on assets like land and equipment is roughly five per cent, the data suggest Canadian farmers are currently realizing returns of just two to three per cent.
"They're over-capitalized and drowning in their own capital," Mussell said. "That might not seem like a problem but it's sitting there in the land and all these assets. When it's time to transfer the farm to the next generation, how are they going to afford it?"
The federal cash injection also comes as Canada's grain farmers are struggling with depressed prices and demand due to the trade wars, he added. Ottawa granted grain farmers hit by direct Chinese trade measures an extra six months to repay cash advances under the Advance Payments Program. The government also strengthened the APP by increasing the maximum loan limit for all farmers to $1 million from $400,000 with additional interest-free loans for canola producers.
"Grain farmers could be in for a long haul of low prices and a sobering trade outlook," said Mussell. "They look at this and say dairy farmers got $1.75 billion and what did we get? Debt."

Discussion in 'iMac' started by electrojamin, Feb 15, 2012.
Just wondering if anyone has used the above external blu-ray drive with their mac?
I am wanting to do a more permanent backup of my Aperture library and Music and thought an external blu-ray drive would fit the bill nicely.
I'd like to assume this would be a simply case of plug and play with my mac, but wanted to see if anyone has already done this?
I am not fussed about watching blu-ray movies through it, just need it for writing files.
I use time machine hooked up to my NAS so my iMac is readily backed up, but if both were to go pop at the same time, I'd loose years of precious photos and memories, a more physical copy would give me some peace of mind.
OS X supports file storage through Blu-Ray natively. It's only actual playback that OS X doesn't support.
With that said, any BR Drive should work. I use an ASUS one, but I don't write things to it, I use it to rip my Blu-Ray discs for my ATV.
Ok thanks, sounds like it should work then. I am gonna get one and give it a go.

Where will our milk come from: 'battery' farms or free range cows?
Rosie Shute
| 11th November 2011
The recent axing of the Nocton 'super-dairy' renewed interest in how our milk and cheese is produced. The Ecologist visited two dairy farms - an indoor, intensive unit and a year-round outdoor operation - to assess their very different approaches
Deep down in Dairy Country, there's a divide developing; the divide between old and new. Driven by consumer preference and government subsidies, farmers are choosing to throw in their lot with either more natural, traditional farming methods, or more technologically advanced, intensive methods.
Nowhere is this divide better exemplified than on two farms in Somerset, on the opposite side of the same lane, but operating centuries apart. As an environmentalist and ecologist I felt certain I knew which side of the lane my preferences fell. But on visiting these farms, my preconceptions were challenged.
Anyone with the vaguest understanding of the natural world usually comes to the conclusion that 'nature knows best.' How many times have we heard stories of humans blundering into disaster when trying to control an ecosystem? (Weevils in North America, rabbits in Australia, and Bullfrogs the world over to name a few). The complexity and interrelatedness of all things means that such manipulation is beyond us: nature is not for the taking.
It is this understanding which makes ecologists, environmentalists and greenies everywhere (including me) often balk at anything overly interfered with by humans.
So on hearing about these two farms side by side, one an intensive, technologically advanced system, the other an entirely outdoor system, I wanted to see for myself how the two compared. I was expecting an easy win for Mr Marshall-Taylor's agriculture al fresco at Volis farm.
Bucolic bliss
Having farmed the same land for almost 40 years, it was both economic and environmental considerations, as well as his daughter's advice, which persuaded Mr Marshall-Taylor to adopt an all-outdoors method. Previously, he'd been operating the modern day norm in which cows are outside for roughly half the year and inside for the rest. Although this saves the winter's wet ground from being paunched by the cow's hooves ('worse than stilletoes'), feeding the cows inside requires a lot of silage and feed concentrate. Both require oil, which is bad for the environment as well as the farmer's pocket.
But for the past seven years, Mr Marhsall-Taylor has been keeping his cows outdoors the whole year round. Come sun, rain or 20 inches of snow – the majority of his herd are outside. Whilst the ubiquitous Holsteins would have trouble in these temperatures, Mr Marshall-Taylor's cross-breeds are smaller, sturdier and more resilient cows. He even milks the herd outside, using an outdoor milking parlour, fashioned after the old-hat milking 'bails' first introduced in the UK in 1922.
On visiting, we wandered around in the sun watching the old girls being encouraged into position, fifty at a time, into the outdoor parlour. They'd spent a morning mooching around the fields and according to the statistic weren't just looking contented; they were physically a robust crowd. Compared to Mr Marshall-Taylor's previous system, the cows were now healthier and living longer, he reports. His milk has significantly lower bacterial counts (by almost 30 per cent, he says), and his carbon footprint has been dramatically reduced through his lower use of nitrogen-rich fertiliser and carbon costly feed concentrate.
I was surprised though that while Mr Marshall-Taylor's fertiliser use was reportedly half of what it had been – it was still surprisingly high at roughly 280kg per hectare. (I also learnt of concerns that some cows housed outdoors can succumb to alarming levels of mud, leaving them caked with the stuff and existing in less than ideal conditions.)
As I left though, in general, all seemed well down on the farm.
I now made my way across the lane to the techno touted Pyrland Farm, where I knew that the cows only spent two months a year outside. The term 'battery' hung in the air, and the robots awaited.
Automated autonomy
After a few minutes pottering in a pleasant foodie farm shop, I was greeted by the owner, Mr James Read. With giant strides across a well-kept yard, he took me onto a platform overlooking a large, light filled open barn with cows standing or lying in capacious cubicles on straw. On closer inspection, I noticed machines, not dissimilar to automatic lawnmowers in appearance, following cows on their occasional wanderings across the slatted floors.
Mr Read explained that these were pushing any dung through the slats into a slurry pit below. This slurry would then be used to fertilise the fields, saving on oil-based imported fertilisers. Even more intriguing were the three automatic milkers sat at one end of the barn. Every now and then a cow would stroll into one of these booths of their own accord. Once inside, their centre of gravity was automatically detected by a metal plate on the floor. Suction cups then located the udder and attached. The absence of human interference was conspicuous. No one was herding the cattle. The cows decided when and how often they wanted to be milked. The cows were in control.
The effect of this autonomy on the herd's health has proved significant. The rate of mastitis (a prevalent udder infection) has diminished to one third of even Mr Marhsall-Taylor's herd. Compared to even the outdoor system, the cows here were living longer, their milk was cleaner and they were producing more milk. And while increased yield was of course a source of pride for Mr Read, it was the animal's welfare that he cited as the single greatest benefit from his new method of farming.
But of course, there were downsides – some potentially insurmountable for the carbon conscious. For example, by keeping his cows inside all year, Mr Read needs to feed them almost nine times as many concentrates as that used in the entirely outdoors system. Moreover, the whole system is based on cows staying indoors for ten months a year. However happy the cows seem inside, is our milk worth consigning the life of a bovine beauty to a shed?
So which system won? Well, it was by no means an easy victory for the au naturel outdoors system – it was actually a draw.
Because while we may feel that nature's not for the taking, farming has already taken it. Long ago, the land was conquered, the beast tamed and the natural equilibrium disrupted. The reality is we're operating in a false system, and our objectives should now be to ensure that this system is sustainable, and that animal welfare is prioritised. Although the carbon cost and 'unnaturalness' of the indoor system are certainly negatives, the innovative approach to animal welfare is worth investigation by environmentalists.
The divide between old and new styles of farming should dissolve and the best of both integrated. In Holland it seems that they're already doing this, by taking the automatic milkers outside. Perhaps we could speed up such innovation in the UK by lending the green movement's weight to backing the case for technology in promoting animal welfare?
What is the environmental footprint of super-sized dairy farming?

New Perspectives on the Origins of Language
Edited by Claire Lefebvre, Bernard Comrie and Henri Cohen
[Studies in Language Companion Series 144] 2013
Sound patterns and conceptual content of the first words
Peter F. MacNeilage | University of Texas at Austin
Two simple possibilities, one for the origin of sound patterns of languages and one for the origin of their linkage with concepts, are suggested, both based on behaviors observable today. The sound patterns may have been those of present-day babbling, definable as one or more instances of a rhythmic alternation of a closed and open mouth, produced by a mandibular elevation/depression cycle, accompanied by vocal fold vibration, and linguistically meaningless, though giving the perceptual impression of a consonant-vowel (CV) sequence. An example is bababa. Babbling is one of innumerable instances of "fixed action patterns" in nature – innate behavior repertoire components with "form constancy" (e.g. rodent grooming, mating rituals), which provide an initial framework for species-wide motor adaptations. Babbling may have evolved in the manner of many other adaptations noted by the discipline of evolutionary developmental psychology ("Evo Devo") whereby a genetically determined change in development (ontogeny) in effect "formulates new phylogeny" (Goodman & Coughlin 2000, p. 2445). The simple possibility for the initial linking of sound patterns with concepts is that it occurred in the context of a particular language-related genre present today: "baby talk," a communicative matrix specific to the parent-infant dyad. The key to understanding this putative development lies in an explanation for the consistent presence across the world's languages of nasal consonants in maternal terms and non-nasal forms in paternal terms, both in baby talk (e.g. mama, papa) and in the probably derived parental terms of language proper (e.g. mother, father). The maternal term may have been invented when the female parent decided that a mother-directed infant nasalized demand vocalization stood for her, and the paternal term may have developed later with a necessarily perceptually contrastive non-nasal structure.

HomeA Jewish Nobel Prize Winner's Gift to Girls
A Jewish Nobel Prize Winner's Gift to Girls
by Elana Sztokman
When Professor Ada Yonath, the bubbly, animated scientist with Einstein-like hair as well as intelligence, received the phone call several days ago informing her that was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, she thought someone was playing a joke on her.
"I said, 'Yeah, right, so should I make an appointment for the hairdresser now?'" she recalled at the press conference this week. "As you can all see, I did not make that appointment," she laughed, with a wonderful gleam in her eye.
Yonath's prize for discoveries about ribosomes is cause for celebration, especially for Jewish women. It gives her a place not just in the annals of human history, but also in the hearts and diaries of countless girls.
I can just picture all those science-loving girls. They are the ones who, like Yonath, prefer to be in a lab rather than at the hairdresser, who may be quiet in class or walk with their noses in a book, who are perhaps irreverent and independent-minded, girls who love a good experiment and would rather read science fiction than go to the mall, girls whose idea of a perfect birthday gift is a microscope or telescope rather than a Barbie, girls who wonder why they don't fit in.
It's tough being a gifted girl. They are often ignored or deemed iconoclastic. But today, thanks to Yonath, these girls and women are beaming, glowing with pride and creativity, their spirits bursting with the knowledge that "if she can do it, so can I." Yes, a woman can succeed in science, wild hair and all.
We're all proud of the some 165 Jews who have won Nobel Prizes.
Yet we seldom note that just eight of them, including Yonath, are women: Gertrude Elion, Gerty Theresa Cori, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Nadine Gordimer, Nelly Leonie Sachs, Lise Meitner and Rosalyn Yalow, according to The Shalvi Jewish Women's Encyclopedia at the Jewish Women's Archive.
It's not that women are not as capable as men in science, as Larry Summers notoriously suggested, but rather that they are so seldom seen, appreciated and rewarded.
According to Sharon Bertsch McGrayne, in "Nobel Prize Women in Science," only three percent of all Nobel Prize scientists are women, and they virtually all had a very rough time of it:
They worked in universities for decades without pay as volunteers – in the United States as late as the 1970s…. No sooner did these women overcome one barrier than another cropped up. Pioneers like the mathematician Emmy Noether were not only legally barred from universities; they were also excluded from the academic high schools that prepared men for university educations… The father of physicist Lise Meitner refused to hire a tutor until she had completed teachers' training school. The dictatorial father of Rita Levi-Montalcini prevented her from obtaining an academic education until she was twenty years old….Both Meitner and Levi-Montalicini started their scientific careers a decade behind their male counterparts. Once in universities, women like Marie Curie, Emmy Noether, and Meitner worked for years without salaries or positions.
She also writes, "If a woman formed a long-term scientific partnership with a man, the scientific community assumed that he was the brains of the team and she was the brawn."
This is why gifted girls need extra special encouragement. As Dr. Carol E. Watkins writes here:
Girls and women are often socialized to accommodate to others—to fit in. This runs counter to the gifted individual's drive to create, innovate, and look beyond the ordinary. These girls and young women may have been encouraged to hide their talents to avoid provoking envy. Or they may be so bored in school they withdraw into themselves. One might expect that this would not be the case now that women have more choices in career and lifestyle. However, adolescent girls and young women are still conflicted about whether it is acceptable to stand out from the crowd.
All of this makes Yonath's accomplishment even more meaningful and worth highlighting.
Her achievement sends a wonderful message to girls: Don't give up. Be who you are, and you will be a true gift to the world.

Rubio practiced today
November 11, 2016 By Minnesota News Network
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio returned to practice on Friday after missing the last five games with a sprained right elbow.
Rubio stayed in the Twin Cities to rehab his injury during the team's recent three-game road trip. The Timberwolves have a rare home back-to-back with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. If Rubio responds well after the workout, coach Tom Thibodeau said he could return to the court this weekend.
"As long as he feels pretty good tomorrow," Thibodeau said after practice.
The Timberwolves have missed Rubio's experience and defensive presence during his absence. Rookie Kris Dunn has started and second-year pro Tyus Jones has been the primary backup. Both have played well at times, but for now lack the Spainard's composure in critical moments and the ability to organize an offense.
"Just the way he can push the ball, his decision-making, team defense, he's all over the place," Thibodeau said. "He brings a lot of energy. In transition, he's such a good decision maker that he gets you a lot of easy baskets, and he knows how to move the ball around."
Rubio was injured in the second game of the season at Sacramento when a Kings player fell into his elbow in the fourth quarter. Without him, the Wolves are off to a disappointing 2-5 start in a season in which they are hoping to end a 12-year playoff drought.
In his six years in the league, Rubio has established himself as one of the best defensive point guards. Getting him back at the top of the Wolves' defense could go a long way toward helping the young team be more consistent on that end. His ability to get his teammates shots where they are most comfortable also lifts the offense and helps the Wolves avoid the stagnancy that has occasionally plagued them this season.
"He adds a lot of experience and he's been through a lot of things here," center Karl-Anthony Towns said. "To have a player like that, especially on the bench (during timeouts) where he's like another coach, it's awesome to have him."
Rubio is listed as questionable for the game on Saturday against the Clippers.
"He looks sharp," forward Shabazz Muhammad said. "I told him it looks like he hasn't missed a beat. His conditioning, going hard, shot's looking better. He's looking really good out there and we can't wait to have him back."

Today, President Obama's campaign organization "Organizing for America" sent out a notice to its "grassroots" supporters. It asked them to wage a coordinated phone campaign for health care by calling their U.S. Senators on September 11 -- also known as Patriot Day in honor of the thousands of Americans killed by Al Qaeda terrorists eight years ago. It goes on: "All 50 States are coordinating in this – as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders."
Note the liberal assumption that no one would oppose Obama's socialist agenda unless they were "whipped to a frenzy" by Fox News. Personally, I'm "whipped to a frenzy" by watching the financial and economic news on CNBC, but maybe that's just me.
What the First Amendment specifically protects as the right "to petition the government for a redress of grievances" is denounced by Obama's supporters as "subverting the American Democratic Process." If that's what they think about your First Amendment rights, what do you suppose they think of your Second Amendment rights?
When conservatives organize their protests, the Left screams "Astroturf!" When the Obama operation organizes counter-protests -- and remember that Obama's media Gepetto, David Axelrod, is the Father of Astroturf -- that's spontaneous grassroots activism.
As I've said before, nobody can accuse liberals of not having standards. They've got exactly two.
and this grandma "aka Nana" will keep protesting Obama and the liberal left until they give up or I'm dust to dust.
This is not surprising, coming from these degenerates. On Monday, Gateway Pundit reported Organizing For America telling their supporters "Reclaim Our Land From The Heirs Of, Yes: Bin Laden - You Know It's True". Also, opponents of ObamaCare are not "being led closer to God" and that they are "the Super-Heroes" administering the "Super-Heroe Karate Chops"
Oh well; nice to see that they at least remember 9/11.
What's good for the goose apparently isn't good for the gander. Hypocrites.
It is astounding what lengths Obama supporters will go to (and I wonder if the Obama administration itself can be this clueless, but these days, I don't wonder very much). The inmates are, indeed, threatening to take over the asylum.
First, those who oppose a government health care option do not deserve to be called "terrorists" in any sense of the word. Second, this post WAS NOT the product of someone employed through Obama's Organizing for America. It was simply an entry posted on the site by an outsider (Read the Heritage Foundation release!). In good faith, how can news organizations--like FOX--claim that this is the product of Obama or the organization? It would be like making the host of this site responsible for the all the posting made here. Please, let's us proceed responsibly and respectfully.
"How can news organizations--like FOX--claim that this is the product of Obama or the organization?"
By not having someone moderate items before they are posted.
How long was it there before it was deleted?
Was it deleted because the administration was appalled, or because it made them look bad?
I don't visit sites like barack.obama.com, so I don't know whether they allow comments on postings, or (if so), if the commenters blasted this post or agreed with it.
If the posting was by a Moby, the reaction of the regulars would be instructive.
And--whaddya know! My comment awaits moderation. And our Host isn't the Leader of the Free World. So you *can* let total strangers post things on your website without letting nut cases run wild.

COVID-19 Luxury Travel Airports + Flying Travel Budget Travel Where to Stay Road Trips

Worth the detour: America's loneliest, most beautiful roads
Road Trips United States
Jacqueline Kehoe
in paid partnership with
If you had to choose one image to depict the essence of travel in the US, it might just be wide, open roads through wide, open landscapes. At nearly four million square miles, the country relies on its highways — in all their various iterations, some aging, two-lane relics of eras past, others traffic-jammed, billboarded behemoths — to draw its myriad regions together.
Within that intricate web of pavement lie roads gone wild, virtually abandoned, connecting little but the middle of nowhere to its edges. These are the roads where the magic of the American road trip is undeniable. Make sure you've got a full tank, plenty of creature comforts, and a good playlist — here's where to hit the road.
1. Dalton Highway, Alaska
Photo: Shutterstock/saraporn
If we're being honest, all of the country's quietest roads are in Alaska — only 5% of the state is even paved, and it's four times the size of California. But the path de résistance here is the Dalton Highway, a 414-mile thoroughfare from Fairbanks to Deadhorse that winds through boreal forest on gravel and dirt. A route for ice truckers and almost no one else, it skirts the eastern border of Gates of the Arctic National Park and works north past the Yukon River all the way to the Arctic Ocean.
For a true getaway from the stereotypical road trip scene — and its herds of RVs and tourists — Alaska is the place to do it. Just stock up on all your travel essentials so you can go for longer stints without resupplying, as rest stops are a less common sight here than the Northern Lights. On all of the Dalton Highway, there are three very small towns, including the world's northernmost truck stop in Coldfoot.
2. US Route 50, Nevada

Nicknamed the "Loneliest Road in America," US Route 50 crosses the entire country from West Sacramento, California, to Ocean City, Maryland. But along the stretch through central Nevada — and Utah, if you want an add-on — its connection to the modern world flickers. Instead, it traverses forsaken mining outposts, alpine peaks, desert valleys, and the northern edge of Great Basin National Park. Here, the line between actual towns and ghost towns feels like the hands on a clock.
Start in Reno, aka the Biggest Little City, and head east — the opposite direction of gold rushers back in the 1850s. The "loneliness" sets in once you hit Fernley, ending 287 miles later in Ely. What's in between? It's best to go without expectations.
3. State Route 139, California

It's hard to find a quiet, untrodden spot in California, but you'd be surprised how quickly the crowds fade off the 101. Head up to Route 139 in Susanville, not too far from the state's northeastern corner, and you have almost 140 miles of strikingly empty and starkly beautiful road stretched out in front of you — all the way to the Oregon border.
This ribbon of pavement runs just east of Lassen Volcanic National Park (Mt. Lassen remains active to this day) and takes you to Lava Beds National Monument, through Modoc National Forest, past too many lakes to mention, and — if you'd like to keep going — all the way to Klamath Falls, Oregon, just south of Crater Lake National Park.
4. US Route 45, Wisconsin and Michigan
Photo: Shutterstock/John McCormick
Unlike most of the Midwest, northern Wisconsin into Michigan's Upper Peninsula is little but Northwoods, a world of lakes, rivers, and forests that stay quiet year-round. From Pelican Lake, US Route 45 beelines straight north for Lake Superior, the map deep shades of green polka-dotted in blue (Wisconsin actually has more lakes than 10,000-famous Minnesota).
The 106-mile drive takes you to Eagle River — a great break for kayaking and tubing — across state lines at Land O'Lakes, through Ottawa National Forest, near Bond Falls and O Kun-de-kun Falls, and finally to Ontanagon, right on the shore of Lake Superior. Just to the west lies Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, 60,000 acres of virgin forest you need to visit. When's the next time you'll be all the way up here?
5. US Route 201, Maine
Photo: Shutterstock/Raphael Rivest
If you're looking for an autumn leaf-peeping drive unfit for Greyhound buses and bucket-listing tourists, check out Maine's US Route 201. The 78-mile "Old Canada Road" follows the Kennebec River through miles of forested hills painted in oranges, reds, and golds, along S-curves leading to mountain views, and into a few towns frozen in time, all the way to Quebec.
For a break from the gas pedal, go whitewater rafting at The Forks — it's where the Kennebec and Dead Rivers meet — hike on the Kennebec Valley Trail or the Appalachian Trail, or stop for a picnic on Wyman Lake. Just remember to take it slow — that bit about the journey being the destination is certainly a cliché, but one that was born of truth on roads like these.

Kiran returning to Cong. fold?
Is Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy, the last Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, coming back to the Congress fold?
According to sources in the Congress, Mr. Reddy had a meeting with AICC president Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi on Monday. He is believed to have met AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi about two months ago.
The meetings have triggered speculation about Mr. Reddy returning the party which gave him the opportunity to become Assembly Speaker first and then Chief Minister. Yet Mr. Reddy launched the Jai Samaikyandhra Party (JSP) in protest against the Congress government's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.
Mr. Reddy resigned on March 7, 2014, after the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Re-organisation Bill, and announced that he would launch a political party. The JSP was formally launched at a public meeting in Rajamahendravaram on March 12, 2014.
After the thumping victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the general election, Mr. Reddy reportedly evinced interest in joining the national party. However, this did not materialise.
A section of Mr. Reddy's followers, including his brother, was keen that he join the Telugu Desam Party, but after the meeting with Mr. Rahul Gandhi, the differences of opinions among his followers died down.

I'm a writer. We all know that. I've been writing and blogging since 2008. A few years ago I came across Kait Nolan's – Round of Words in 80 Days and discovered a vast network of fellow writers who are darned adept at cheering each other on while we all try to meet our writing goals.
Well in 2013, even though I managed to write and publish two books that brought my YA Contemporary series, Wings from Ashes to its conclusion, I slacked off.
I don't honestly think that I hit an actual road block or a writers' block, it was more like a sudden need for down time.
For the past three years, I was writing every night, almost nonstop. Either I was blogging or working on that next book.
Looking back at this past year, after publishing Along Came Neil, I lost the need to write with fervor. I no longer feel as though I need to hurry and get it done. It will get done when it is ready. Who knows, maybe my word count will be longer on this work than the past works.
Is this a sign of maturing as a writer?
I thought that the #wip I was working on for my Na No Wri Mo was going right into that slush pile of unfinished works. It didn't after all. Instead, I have slowed my writing pace down to a hundred words or two here and there. Add a sentence there, maybe change a paragraph there.
The story is not growing at the pace I was writing at in the past. But it is growing.
I have almost hit the half-way point. Then today I thought about some additional plot points and how to work them into the story line to make it more appealing.
This new, careful way of writing brings me hope for the future of the remaining works in my slush pile. Maybe they can be saved after all. I have two other stories that remain half written and may have to be tackled next. I hate leaving anything unfinished.
Besides writing this year will continue with my Me Time. This is the time I will set aside to do other things I like doing, as in my crocheting, computer gaming, quilting, reading, and gardening.
In 2014, I will follow each completed project, whether it is a written project or a crafting project of some kind with a follow up photo to share with all of you, even if it is a book I just finished reading.
This is the sweater I made for my grandbaby two years ago. My daughter is keeping it even though she has outgrown the sweater. She says it is now an heirloom.
I made Jas a new sweater for Christmas this year. I will post the picture of it as soon as I get one of her wearing it, in a couple of days.
Next up is an afghan that my son has already laid claim to. I never expected that. When I'm done with that, I may need to make a quilt. I haven't quilted since writing and publishing Friends of Choice. It is long overdue.
It feels right to find my Me Time again.
Do you set time aside for your Me Time?
What do you do with your Me Time?
Stop by and Share – I'd love to hear about your other projects.

The model types Storm supports can be categorized along two dimensions. First, the notion of time in a model may be either discrete (or "time-abstract") or continuous. While the former formalizes time as discrete steps, time in the latter flows continuously. Second, models may contain nondeterminism. That is, there are choices that are resolved nondeterministically in the sense that there is no information about a likelihood of the involved choices. Rather, any possible resolution has to be taken into account when reasoning about such systems. Typical sources of nondeterminism include scheduling freedom (as found in distributed systems), abstraction and underspecification. In the following, we briefly describe each model type.
Models without nondeterminism
Discrete-time Markov chains (DTMCs)
In a discrete-time Markov chain, every state is equipped with a probability distribution over successor states. That is, whenever the system is in a particular state, a random experiment is conducted to determine the state the system moves to in the next step. Here, time proceeds in a discrete manner: the steps the system takes are counted by the non-negative integers.
Continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs)
If the time in the model flows continuously and it is important to preserve this timing in the model, CTMCs can capture this. Just like in a DTMC, there is a probability distribution over successor states in each state. Additionally, every state is equipped with an exit rate lambda, that governs the sojourn time in that state. More specifically, the time spent in the state is negatively exponentially distributed with rate lambda.
Models with nondeterminism
Discrete-time Markov decision processes (MDPs)
Markov Decision processes extend DTMCs with nondeterministic choice. If the system is in state s, first a nondeterministic choice over the actions available in s (the enabled actions) is taken. Then, the successor state is chosen probabilistically according to the probability distribution associated with the selected action.
Markov automata (MAs)
Markov automata essentially combine the features of CTMCs with MDPs. The states in an MA fall into one of three categories. Probabilistic states are just like the states of an MDP, i.e. there is a nondeterministic choice over probability distributions. Markovian states are like the states of a CTMC in that there is just one probability distribution over successor states, but the system will stay in these states for a negatively exponentially distributed delay. Finally, hybrid states have both, a nondeterministic choice over probabilistic choices as well as the possibility to stay in the state for some time and then pick the successor according to a certain probability distribution.

A threat to the small community loomed in 1906 when "Lucky" Baldwin proposed to establish a town, "Baldwinville" nearby. To prevent this, Vineland residents invited the octogenarian Baldwin to a conference at Shultis' grocery store. While entering the store, Baldwin slipped and would have fallen had Shultis' wife not caught him, As the story goes, Baldwin, grateful to the lady, agreed to a change in plan, and Vineland became Baldwin Park.
Baldwin Park was incorporated in 1956, becoming the forty-seventh General Law City in the state of California. Today, the city has changed from the small farming community in the late 1800's to one of over 70,000 population.


That's one of the 'classic' BOAC/BA747 schemes, the other being the 'Landor' scheme.
Given they are celebrating 100 years I'll have to keep my eyes open to see if the museum in the old Croydon Airport control tower is putting on any special events.
Why am I thinking that this would look even more 'right' if it was based on a Sikorsky S-55 or S-58?
I don't know, Weaver, but I agree with you.
Because the S-55/H-19, in particular, already looks a lot like a flying food van.
It's actually a DIY kit!
Any idea or indication which kit this is? It's a VF-1D two seater, and AFAIK this should be the 1:72 Hasegawa kit (since there's no bigger D kit around). That's impressive.
Lovely P-51, completing the Mustang family! Thanks!
Nope. It could also be the Bandai 1/72 VF-1D variable kit. I've got one of those lurking in my stash.
It is featuring the Renault 5 car, and in 1972-75 when I was 8-11 year old I thought "this lovely car will be mine when I grow up!"
That's brilliant, even if it does look like it has been painted with la merde!!
Love the Mustang pedal car!
Get the neighbour to buy his kid a Messerschmitt or Zero and have them dogfighting all around the neighbourhood all day - with the obligatory cessation of hostilities for milk and cookie breaks, of course!

(-a/n- Hello! It's been quite a while since I wrote fanfiction and I've been having a nice break, in which I've been very busy with lots of schoolwork and plotting my own novel… This fic is an idea that I've had for a very long time, but just never had time to write 's a bit different to what I've written before, but I hope that you will enjoy it all the same…This fic will be based on several songs, the main one being Fallen by Sarah McLachlan, as I find that music is great fuel for the imagination. Please read the song lyrics, and hopefully in time you'll see how they fit with the fic.
As ever please review, it really does encourage me to update sooner.

Fallen by Sarah McLachlan
Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
in the lonely light of morning
in the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.
I've fallen...
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Or they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
It was the end of the King's Tournament, which took place every two years at the end of summer and the crowd milled about in happy expectation, waiting for the King to present the trophy to the tournament champion. It was a knockout tournament, in which everyone from commoners to the Crown Prince was eligible to compete. The only rule of the tournament concerning entry was simple; the King and his Champion were not allowed to take part. The rounds were held over a period of two weeks and from each match would emerge a winner who would make their way into the next round. In each match the winner was the person who could make the other competitor yield. Every year their were many hundreds of entrants and the matches in the first few rounds were normally short, one person being experienced and the other a low ranking solider, or commoner who had just entered for fun.
As the tournament progressed however, the matches were longer, opponents more equally matched and skilful. This year the tournament was being organised by Lord Wyldon of Cavall and Sir Gareth of Naxen the younger, both of whom had been washed under by the amount of organising it took to run such a large tournament. Fortunately many knights who were too old to compete, had offered to oversee the matches and check that no foul play occurred.
Now, at the end of a very long and busy two weeks, King Jonathan IV stood looking hot and bothered, next to his Champion Alanna. The Lioness was still not on good speaking terms with the King and looked thoroughly bored of waiting around. She was itching to talk to the tournament winner, discuss swordplay and even challenge her to a friendly duel. Raoul stood behind them with Gary and Lord Wyldon, who were both waiting patiently for the presentation.
After what seemed like an age, the signal was given and as the King stepped forward a hush fell over the huge crowd.
'Citizens of Tortall,' he began 'Friends from abroad, all who are gathered here today, we are proud to present a sum of one hundred gold nobles to the winner of the King's Tournament.'
At this declaration a massive cheer emerged from the excited crowd. The sound died as suddenly as it had come, as the crowd split in two, allowing a woman to walk to the platform where the King stood. She had light-brown hair, although the top was more blonde in colour, bleached no doubt by the same sun that had tanned her skin. She was dressed simply in plain shirt and breeches, a well-used sword hanging at her side in a plain scabbard. Her gaze was level, and her face was devoid of any emotion. The King had to admit to himself that this woman intrigued him; he had certainly not expected someone so young or indeed even a woman to win. As he watched she reached the front of the stage, seemingly ignoring the crowd that was jostling for a better look at her and climbed up the steps onto the platform.
To Raoul, the whole proceedings were getting very tedious; he had been standing in the sun for a long time now, first to award the archery Champion and then to receive his award as Champion of the Joust, again. Now he just wished that Jon would give the woman her reward, and let them all retreat into the shade and cool of the palace. Just then the proceedings took an interesting turn.
Jon had just requested that the warrior kneel, as was custom, so that the warrior could pledge their allegiance to the King and receive their reward. But the woman had said in an even tone,
'No.'
Raoul had to hide a smirk at Jon's flabbergasted face, and he took a closer look at the female warrior who had just defied the King. He thought personally that it would be good for Jon to be taken down a peg or two, but in front of the crowd that was gathered, listening intently, now was not the best time for it to happen.
'I think I must've misheard you?' said Jon, trying to keep his voice calm and light.
'I said no,' replied the woman in a bored voice, not looking directly at the King.
Raoul admired the woman's courage, she was either extremely brave, or extremely stupid.
The King was now getting over his initial shock and was starting to look annoyed and a little angry.
'Your name Lady Warrior?' he demanded, struggling to keep his voice even. 'As your King I command you to kneel. You owe me your allegiance…'
After a pause the woman replied, with a hint of bitterness in her voice, 'Keladry of Mindelan...and I owe you nothing.'
For a moment she stared directly into Jon's eyes, her hazel eyes blazing so fiercely that Jon almost stepped back. Then she turned on her heel, dodged the guards that stood nearby, jumped off of the platform and sprinted away.
There was instant uproar, mainly because the Tournament champion had just insulted the King and disappeared. But the few who understood the full significance of those words stood still in absolute shock. Keladry of Mindelan. The girl who tried for knighthood. Missing presumed dead. And now tournament champion.
Jon ran his hands through his hair despairingly and Alanna was filled with a savage triumph that the Mindelan girl had become a fine warrior after all. Meanwhile, a group of squires were all talking excitedly, except Nealan of Queenscove who looked as shocked as Gary felt. Lady Ilane of Mindelan was weeping into her husband's shoulder; their daughter was alive, after all these years.
Raoul did some quick calculations in his head; the girl must be about fifteen. Gods above she looked far older than when he'd last seen her, three and a half years ago. He shuddered. He didn't think that he'd ever forget…and judging by the horrified looks on Lord Wyldon and Domitian of Masbolle's faces, he didn't think they'd ever forget either. How could he, Dom or Lord Wyldon face her after what had happened?
He glanced around at the shocked or happy faces, wishing that he could feel happy that she'd returned, instead it had bought to life what he'd been trying to forget for over three years. And guilt lay heavy on his heart, they had failed her, the Crown had failed her, the justice of Tortall had failed her. And at that moment he could fully agree, she owed Jon nothing.
(-a/n- Intrigued? I hope so. Next chapter I'll be going back to the beginning (when she gets kicked out) and filling in all the gaps.)

Rob Williams, though, will be available after a bone bruise
Boston Celtics star Marcus Smart is a fitness doubt for Tuesday's opening NBA Eastern Conference finals playoff clash with the Miami Heat after suffering a foot injury, coach Ime Udoka said on Monday. Smart was diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain after landing heavily during Sunday's series-clinching victory over the Milwaukee Bucks and is listed as "questionable" for game one, Udoka told reporters. "He took a pretty bad fall… it's pretty tender and sore right now," Udoka said.
"He's undergoing round the clock treatment and he'll be listed as questionable."
Smart has been a key part of the Celtics' return to the conference finals and scored 11 points with 10 assists and seven rebounds in Sunday's 109-81 defeat of the Bucks.
There was a brighter medical bulletin for the Celtics' Rob Williams, with Udoka saying the towering centre would be available following a bone bruise on his recently repaired left knee.
"Rob is available, no minutes restriction," Udoka said.
Williams' return has been managed carefully after the 24-year-old underwent left knee surgery at the end of the regular season.
"I'm always going to be a little bit cautious with guys coming off a layoff… but he's available, looking better every day and getting more confident."

Changes in transcranial magnetic stimulation outcome measures in response to upper-limb physical training in stroke: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
Physical training is known to be an effective intervention to improve sensorimotor impairments after stroke. However, the link between brain plastic changes, assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and sensorimotor recovery in response to physical training is still misunderstood. We systematically reviewed reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the use of TMS over the primary motor cortex (M1) to probe brain plasticity after upper-limb physical training interventions in people with stroke.We searched 5 databases for articles published up to October 2016, with additional studies identified by hand-searching. RCTs had to investigate pre/post-intervention changes in at least one TMS outcome measure. Two independent raters assessed the eligibility of potential studies and reviewed the selected articles' quality by using 2 critical appraisal scales.In total, 14 reports of RCTs (pooled participants=358; mean 26±12 per study) met the selection criteria. Overall, 11 studies detected plastic changes with TMS in the presence of clinical improvements after training, and these changes were more often detected in the affected hemisphere by using map area and motor evoked potential (MEP) latency outcome measures. Plastic changes mostly pointed to increased M1/corticospinal excitability and potential interhemispheric rebalancing of M1 excitability, despite sometimes controversial results among studies. Also, the strength of the review observations was affected by heterogeneous TMS methods and upper-limb interventions across studies as well as several sources of bias within the selected studies.The current evidence encourages the use of TMS outcome measures, especially MEP latency and map area to investigate plastic changes in the brain after upper-limb physical training post-stroke. However, more studies involving rigorous and standardized TMS procedures are needed to validate these observations.
Priming sensorimotor cortex to enhance task-specific training after subcortical stroke.
Raised corticomotor excitability of M1 forearm area following anodal tDCS is sustained during robotic wrist therapy in chronic stroke.

Q: How to send "geo fix" command to real device of Android? First,thank you for your attention to my question
I'm planning to design an Android GPS locating application
here are my difficulties and situations
(1)my computer hardware has been out of date for a long time and running an android emulator for debugging is really time-costing,thus i bought a real device(android cellphone) one week ago,in the aim of replacing emulator during debugging
(2)i know how to send location datas to an emulator via "DDMS/Emulator Control/Location Controls",but it is disabled for a real device
(3)i am programming indoor,thus using physical gps locating function is not acceptable(even if i turn on "a-gps")
(4)i have found another topic here: Android mock location on device?
however,i can't open the detail links,like "Andrews link"," http://dehuysser.appspot.com/blog/android-developer-shell-released"
I guess these web sites are forbidden by my country......

Here are my questions:
(A)i have found some codes of making mock loation datas ,but these codes can not activate "onLocationChanged" function
However, i wonder if there is a way to send locating datas from PC to real device via USB port(i'm in USB debugging mode), just like sending locations from DDMS to emulator?
(B)i've got the information that, it is possible to send "geo fix" command to emulator as well as to a real device, by "telnet localhost ", but how to check out the port number occupied by my real device?
i know that 5554 port is used for a emulator,but what about the real device?
i've tried to command "netstat" in terminal, but it's a shame to say that i don't know which port is for my android phone......
(C)If my (A)(B) question is not practical,then what's "settings/applications/development/allow mock location" used for?
Please help me, and thank you for your answer!

A: I have wrote an app exactly for this (this functionality is not available on phones by default) - it's open source and provides exactly the same interface as the emulator (telnet to :5554 and run "geo fix ..." or "geo nmea"): in app store MockGeoFix

A: The easiest way of using mock data is using the mock test location provider API. It's at the bottom of the documentation page. I've tried it out and location is received in the onLocationChanged callback. Here is some code that you can try out.
The port used by adb is usually 5037.


On 14 January 2019 Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation, received the F4-standard development contract for the Rafale combat aircraft during the visit of the Dassault Aviation Mérignac plant by Florence Parly, French Minister of the Armed Forces.
New functions will also be developed to improve the aircraft's capabilities (upgrades to the radar sensors and front sector optronics, helmet-mounted display capabilities, new satellite and intra-patrol links, communication server, software defined radio), innovative connectivity solutions and new weapons will be integrated (Mica NG air-to-air missile and 1,000-kg AASM Air-to-Ground Modular Weapon).
Validation of the F4 standard is planned for 2024, with some functions becoming available as of 2022. The French Air Forces will benefit from the delivery of all 55 Mirage 2000D refurbished and the resumption of deliveries of Rafale F3/F4 aircraft, of which 28 will be delivered from 2022 to 2024 and a new tranche of 30 Rafale F4 will be ordered in 2023 and must be delivered at 2030.
Interception and air-to-air combat using a 30-mm gun, Mica IR/EM missiles and Meteor missiles.
Close air support using a 30-mm gun, GBU laser-guided bombs and AASM GPS-guided bombs.
Deep strike using Scalp-Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
Maritime strike using the Exocet AM39 Block 2 missile and other air-to-surface weapons.
Real-time tactical and strategic reconnaissance using the Areos pod.
Nuclear deterrence using the ASMP-A missile.
The Rafale entered service with the French Navy in 2004 and with the French Air Force in 2006, gradually replacing the seven types of previous-generation combat aircraft. It has proven itself in external operations in various theatres: Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Iraq and Syria.
Of the 180 aircraft ordered by France to date, 152 have been delivered. The Rafale fleet currently totals almost 270,000 flight hours, including 40,000 in operations. A total of 96 Rafale aircraft have been ordered by Egypt, Qatar and India.
