The portrait of a country and its people fighting air pollution
"Oh no", whispers Fu Chunmei while reading the text message she just received, "again". She peers out of the window of her house. It's a nice winter day in Beijing.
"Beijing heavy pollution Red Alert will start from.." reads the message. A quick switch to the messaging app to open the parents' group chat of her son's class. Someone has already texted: "Red Alert for air pollution! What do we do?". "I will escape Beijing! Who wants to come with us?" she texts without hesitation.
The four-tier color-coded warning system for air pollution is a new system introduced in 2015 as part of China's war on pollution. A Red Alert, the most serious one, is issued by the municipal government when the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) reaches a level of 500 or when four days of heavy air pollution, including two days of severe air pollution, are forecasted. The measure involves suspension of work at construction sites, restrictions to private vehicles use, the closure of kindergartens and primary schools and the temporary shutdown of certain industrial activities deemed responsible for the air pollution.
This measure reflects a far different approach of the government towards environmental issues compared to the past, when climate change was perceived as an excuse the first world was using to hamper the growth of developing countries. The failure of the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009 being the most representative example.
Then the haze came.
"It came suddenly" says Zhu, Beijinger and mother of two, "Seven years ago when I was pregnant the days were really good. When the kids were at the age of two I used to bring them outside every day. No need to check the weather first and then decide if go out. But recently this has become part of our daily routine. If it's very polluted, we just stay home. There's nothing else to do, it drives everybody crazy".
Thanks also to the help of social media, awareness started to raise among citizens and with it came anger. Some forms of protest started to appear, contributing to a change in public mood. This was involved in finally triggering an escalation of responses by the government and in 2013, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the Action Plan on Prevention and Control of Air Pollution. In 2014 China declared war on pollution. 2015 marked the signing of the COP21 Paris Agreement, with China emerging as a pacesetter in the fight against climate change.
The sources of air pollution
"Greenpeace and China's Ministry of Environmental Protection both conducted research and coal was highlighted as the major source in many cities in North China" says Dong Liansai, a campaigner with Greenpeace East Asia Climate & Energy. Coal burning was also recognized as the "single largest source of air pollution-related health impact, contributing to some 366,000 premature deaths in China in 2013", according to a report of the Global Burden of Disease – Major Air Pollution Sources (GBD MAPS) project.
Coal consumption decreased in 2014 and 2015, year-on-year, and seems to be on a downward trend. "In 2016 we would expect the same drop" adds Dong. "There was an uptick of coal consumption in the second half of 2016, but until November, the most updated data we have, the overall number is still falling".
China is in fact pushing hard to reduce the share of coal in its energy mix and it's even more ambitious in its commitment to renewables as it can be clearly seen in the 13th Five Year Plan on Energy Development, unveiled on January 2017.
This had an immediate effect in the recent cancellation of 103 coal-fired power plants, announced by the National Energy Administration in January 2017. These power plants were part of 210 already approved for construction in 2015, against which Greenpeace already spoke out in this report, dated February 2016.
"With regard to the other half that hasn't been cancelled" points out Dong, "we're expecting more bans from NEA". In his view, a recent surge in coal prices has meant that coal-powered production of energy is becoming less and less profitable, and this will cause the coal power companies themselves to halt a number projects.
The results of the recent policies are evident: the average concentration of PM 2.5 in the country is actually diminishing. However, the situation varies among different cities. "Several cities in Guangdong already met China's own National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) in PM2.5 readings and other cities, like Shenzhen, are already aiming at the next stage. Meanwhile, cities in North China like Shijiazhuang are seeing rebound PM2.5 pollution levels", adds Dong.
In Beijing the average concentration of PM2.5 in 2016 decreased 19% compared to 2013, but it's still far from meeting the World Health Organization standards. A joint report by Greenpeace East Asia and Shanghai Qingyue Environmental Protection Center estimated this will happen in 2046, resulting in 30 more years of polluted air in the capital.
The effects on people
The GBD MAPS project estimates the annual number of air pollution related premature deaths in China (2013) at 916,000, with cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and stroke accounting for the majority. The scenario analysis they made for 2030 is not at all positive. Despite reductions in PM2.5 levels in all the future scenarios, future deaths attributable to ambient PM2.5 are predicted to increase, even under "maximum feasible emission controls regardless of costs". An aging population and changes in the prevalence of diseases affected by exposure to air pollution significantly affects figures.
How do people cope with this?
1) Fight! Zhu
"We wear pollution masks, I called them my new weapons" says Zhu, mother of twin 7-year-old girls, showing the pollution masks she bought for 300 renminbi each (44 USD). "They cost a lot, but I chose the best ones to protect my children. We also use air cleaners at home and pay attention to the alerts". The air cleaner she just bought for her house sits in a niche the wall. "It's huge and I feel bad because it makes my room ugly". It costed her 20,000 renminbi (2,900 USD). "It's ridiculous that common people need to pay for this problem", she adds.
Together with the other parents they even decided to buy air cleaners for their children's school. "We appreciate that the school allowed us to do that because it costs them electricity, but we, parents, are in charge of removing the filters when the school closes for winter and summer vacations and putting them back when it reopens".
When the air pollution is bad, but not serious enough to trigger the Red Alert, the school remains open: "I want to take my children out of school to go to places with good weather but my husband disagrees as the children need to have their education".
The trade-off between education and health is a hard one to balance for those who decide to remain and fight.
2) Run! Fu Chunmei
December 16, 2016. After receiving the SMS announcing the Red Alert for the following days, Fu Chunmei, Beijinger and mother of a 9-year-old boy, had no hesitation.
"My mother-in-law was visiting us, she has some respiratory problems, something is wrong with her lungs. When the government announced the haze and that children could take some time out of school, we decided to leave Beijing and drive to other places with clean and fresh air".
A quick check on an air pollution app helped to decide where to go.
"The first place we chose was a mountain villa in HuaiRou district, at that time the AQI was only around 20 to 50, so I thought it might be a good option".
After spending the week-end with the family, her husband had to come back to Beijing because of work.
"I thought the pollution in Beijing was getting better and I wanted to move to a location closer to the city to be ready to send my son back to school as soon as the alert was lifted".
They decided to stay at a hotel near YanQi Lake, 70 km outside of the capital.
But the smog came again.
"It was December 19, in the evening the weather was still good. At around midnight the haze became stronger. The following morning I woke up and I looked outside of the window. I chose to escape again."
After seeking suggestions from other parents, they decided for a folk house near GuBei town, MiYun District. "It was hard for me. It was dark outside and I drove 70 or 80 km with the help of the GPS", adds Fu. "When we arrived there, the weather was better, so we decided to stay for two nights".
After being away for four days the haze leave of her son was over, however, the pollution in Beijing was not completely gone. Fu decided to stay more. "We are part of a small group of parents that decided not to send back our children to school."
Then the wind came to Beijing and the poisonous haze was blown away. Fu, her son and her mother-in-law could finally come back.
The running was over, for this time.
3) Escape! Ma Di
It's Red Alert in Beijing and people are ready for another battle or another getaway. Ma Di, Beijinger and mother of a 6-year-old boy, can see her friends posting updates on their social media feed while sitting in her yard and having breakfast. It's a warm and sunny day in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
My husband says: "It's like a war. When you have no place to hide, you can only leave" she tells.
Back in 2014, when they were still living in Beijing the situation was different. "At that time, the air pollution in Beijing was very bad but we had no courage to pack everything and leave. We were born and raised in Beijing. Our families, friends and relationships were all there. I kept believing the air quality could get better the following year. However, it got worse and worse. Air pollution is everywhere and you don't even feel it when you breathe. What a terrible thing! And once you lose health, you lose everything", she remembers.
Their son was only 4 years old then. He was attending an international kindergarten and asking for leave was not a problem. That's how their story began.
"Once the haze alert was announced, we immediately booked tickets and left Beijing. We went to Tokyo, Okinawa and Hokkaido in Japan, Seoul in Korea, different islands in Thailand, Bali Island, Philippines, Yunnan Province and Sanya in China. Since my son holds an American passport, he didn't need any visa. My husband and I had multi-entry visas to Japan and Korea, in case we decided to leave suddenly."
As time went by they realized this was not a practical solution for the future. Their son was approaching primary school and leaving 180 days out of a year was not feasible anymore.
In December, 2015, the Red Alert came again. Ma and her family immediately left for Hokkaido, Japan. "But what should we do next time and the next one again? There is no end."
After coming back home, Ma decided to change the filters of the air cleaners of their house. "It was quite shocking" she remembers. "When I removed the filtering elements some black dregs fell on the floor. The filters were completely filthy. I shot a photo and uploaded it on my WeChat friends circle. Many of them were shocked. A city with such a poor air quality is not livable".
This is when they decided to leave for good.
They decided for Chiang Mai, Thailand. Good air quality and good education for their son were the main reasons behind their choice. Moreover, Chiangmai is not far from Beijing and they can fly directly between the two cities every time they need to, without any jet lag. The city has its own Chinese diaspora, everyone with their own reasons and purposes. For Beijingers, however, the reason is always the same: fleeing from air pollution.
Their life in Thailand is happy now, "but nothing is perfect", she ends.
"Each coin has two sides, so does our choice".
This is the portrait of a country and its people fighting air pollution.
"I've heard about the heavy haze in Beijing. Therefore, before coming here, I bought pollution masks."
Wu, 28 years old, from Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
"Pollution masks should well block the pollution. And they'd better be good-looking"
Ma, from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
"When air pollution is bad all outdoor activities at school get cancelled."
Lu, 16 years old, from Beijing
"We need to find a balance between the development of the economy and the environment."
Ju Lili, 27 years old, from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
"I traveled around the world but I still love China. This is my homeland. I don't want move to other countries. This is why I can only wear a mask and live here."
Wang Kai, 32 years old, from Shanghai.
"It is not easy to control the pollution, and I think it will take decades. That is to say, almost the health of this generation will be sacrificed."
Chen, 36 years old, from Shanxxi Province.
"From what we experienced this winter, nothing is improving.
But I haven't been here for so long, so maybe there is a trend that I don't know."
Taoye, from Zhejian Province.
"It doesn't only depend on the government, it also depends on the consciousness of everyone, this is the only way."
Yao Yi Qian, 27 years old, from Changzhou, Jiangsu province.
"We are quite worried about the weather. When it's bad, we wear masks or we avoid going out."
Xue, 49 years old, from Changchun, Jilin Province.
"It is the cost of modernization. I believe western countries had the same problem before"
Xu Haiwan, 35 year old, from Beijing.

Anigros ( 'kummervoll') war ein Fluss in der antiken Landschaft Triphylien. Er wurde auch mit dem bei Homer erwähnten Minyēios () identifiziert. Obwohl moderne Namen wie Mavropotamos ( 'schwarzer Fluss') oder Geranio (Γεράνιο) reportiert werden, kann heute kein existierender Fluss dem antiken eindeutig zugeordnet werden.

Der Anigros entsprang am Berg Lapithos und mündete nicht weit von der antiken Hafenstadt Samikon in den Golf von Kyparissia – oder versumpfte in Küstennähe, mutmaßlich einige Kilometer nördlich der modernen Stadt Zacharo, möglicherweise bei dem heutigen Schwefelsee und Heilbad Kaiafas.

In der Antike galt das Wasser des Anigros als übelriechend und ungenießbar. Als Grund wurde genannt,
 dass die Kentauren damit das Gift der Hydra aus den von den Pfeilen des Herakles verursachten Wunden gewaschen hätten,
 dass Melampus das Wasser zur Reinigung der Proitiden verwendet habe und
 dass die Mörder des Ikarios dessen Leichnam in den Quellschacht geworfen hätten (Hyginus Mythographus De astronomia 2.2).
Dennoch wurde das Wasser für heilkräftig gehalten. Man sagte ihm nach, Hautkrankheiten wie Krätze und Flechte zu heilen. Nahe der Quelle wurden seine Nymphen, die Anigriden, in Höhlen verehrt, denen Hautkranke opferten, die im Fluss badeten.

Schwere Erdbeben im Frühmittelalter, vermutlich zur Regierungszeit des Kaisers Justinian I., haben die Geomorphologie der Gegend so stark verändert, dass dadurch der Fluss verschwunden sein könnte.

The Economics of Green Chemistry: How Green Chemistry Is Pro-Profit and Pro-Planet
by John Warner, Distinguished Research Fellow, Exploration and Discovery @JohnWarnerOrg
Green is one of the most abundant colors in the world. At a wavelength of around 550 nanometers, it's right in the middle of the visible color spectrum, where the human eye is most sensitive to light—a bright, beautiful green. Looking at a lush landscape of trees, grasses, and foliage, it's hard not to feel a sense of vitality and harmony.
Green's place in nature has given it a symbolic association with sustainability and conscientiousness toward the environment: "being green," "green" products, and the "Green New Deal" are all expressions of this sustainability mindset. It also has a second, very different symbolism: green is the color of U.S. cash and is often associated with money and profit.
"Being green" and "making green" are often seen as incompatible. The typical thinking pits profit-over-planet business decisions against costly eco-minded management practices. But that paradigm is fading and becoming something of a false choice. I, like many, see the necessity of both planet and profit. In fact, in my experience, real positive change can only occur at the intersection of economic and environmental priorities. If people don't make money while making better products that are better for the planet, it simply won't be sustainable in the long run, and companies doing good things need to stay in business!
Hurting the Planet Equals Hurting Profits
To get a sense of the magnitude of the problem, consider the objects we depend on daily: the shoes we wear, the medicines we take, the buildings we work and live in. It takes about one-third of the global GDP to make these things, and most of those industries use chemical- and energy-intensive processes that inefficiently convert limited natural resources into short-term profits, all the while externalizing the true cost of manufacturing.
Take cement as an example. It's literally a cornerstone of our built world, but it's also a major contributor to climate change. Its chemical and thermal production processes account for around 8% of global emissions of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Some early efforts to apply green chemistry to the cement sector have reduced carbon footprint by 78%. bioMASON uses microorganisms to grow bio-cement-based construction materials that reduce energy costs and eliminate carbon emissions. Self-healing concrete, engineered with biology or advanced polymers, would provide performance features inaccessible through current methods and save billions each year. Collaborative Aggregates offers products Delta-S and Delta Mist that allow the use of recycled asphalt pavement at lower processing temperature.
Polyester is another culprit. This synthetic plastic material is made from petrochemicals and is found in most clothing garments. Polyester is not biodegradable, and each wash of polyester clothes releases microfibers into our waterways, causing damage to marine life and the aquatic ecosystem. It's a $100 billion market that releases as much greenhouse gases each year as 185 coal-fired power plants. As consumers increasingly demand greener apparel, companies like Spiber are taking inspiration from spider silk to create fabrics and materials that are not only sustainable but also outperform today's materials with better tensile strength, elasticity, durability, and softness. Think of a t-shirt that's softer than silk and stronger than leather, made with biology instead of fossil fuels.
This is the zone where Zymergen operates, and why I chose to come here of all possible opportunities. First, Zymergen is poised to solve the hardest of the 12 pillars of green chemistry: inventing renewable feedstocks. And second, Zymergen's technology platform —which you'll be hearing more about soon—is second to none in finding and delivering better performing products to the world. Hyaline , our bio-derived optical film that will end up in your next-gen smartphone, laptop or television, is just the beginning. In a sense, as we work to beat existing materials on performance, sustainability comes along for the ride.
Balancing Both Greens
In his book Balancing Green, Yossi Sheffi argues that the business merits of sustainability are based on the fact that even the most ardent climate-skeptic company executives face natural resource costs, public relations problems, regulatory burdens, and a green consumer segment. Every CEO has to balance whether and how to pursue environmental initiatives, weighing time and resources against shareholder value and many other demands.
Yet today, companies, their consumers, and their investors are more environmentally conscious than ever. We need to nurture this feeling and enable innovative companies to go out into the world and invent new molecules and products with green principles at the core. Equally important, we need to help connect the practices and aspirations of green chemistry to the potential profits of our increasingly green markets.
By learning how nature performs chemical reactions, and then codifying those mechanisms in high-tech biomanufacturing processes, we can more efficiently synthesize molecules, reduce waste, and conserve energy.
How do we develop an integrated green approach? It starts with rethinking our technology and how we train our talent.
Green chemistry is a philosophy and practice that applies to all areas of chemistry and materials, not just a single discipline. We need to take steps now to start applying innovative scientific solutions to real-world environmental problems. We must begin a new chapter in manufacturing, based on technology platforms that couple successful business with environmental protection. Starting there, we can eventually take giant leaps in the fight against environmental harm. We need to plant the seeds of change now to realize bio-inspired products that are green in every sense.
The world's hunger for sustainable technologies is growing. Sustainability is becoming less of an aspirational philosophy and more of a base set of requirements that consumers, innovators, and investors will come to always expect. Companies that have figured out how to meet these needs from both a technical and financial perspective stand a far better chance at remaining sustainable themselves.
Green symbolizes growth, prosperity, and harmony. Green means go. Let's go.

As Haiti experiences a surge of crises—political upheaval, an earthquake in August, tropical storms—we might ask ourselves what we can do to support people there whose lives have been upended. But the better question is: what does the world, and especially the US, owe to the Haitian people, as a matter of justice?
On July 7, President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated, compounding political turmoil that predated his death. He had benefited from US support even as he tried to unlawfully extend his term and rewrite the constitution earlier this year. And the US still seems bent on manipulating Haiti's electoral future.
Recovery means Haitian sovereignty, and transforming the relationship between the US and Haiti from one of exploitation and extraction to reparations and justice.
Then, on August 14, southwestern Haiti was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. While the media paid only fleeting attention, tropical Storm Grace tore through the area only two days later, just as people were beginning to assess loss of life and damage from the earthquake.
We have also seen the unconscionable treatment of Haitian asylum seekers, including children, at the US-Mexico border, and the Biden Administration's heartless deportation of thousands of Haitians back to a country reeling from overlapping political, humanitarian, and human rights crises—crises that the US has helped to perpetuate for centuries.
We cannot forget that Haiti was born of the first successful revolt of Black enslaved people, and that the US and other world powers retaliated by isolating and punishing the country and its people. The US military occupied Haiti for almost two decades in the early 20th century, forced illegitimate debt payments that crushed Haiti's economy, decimated Haitian farmers through unfair agricultural policies, and interfered in democratic processes.
To repair this ugly history, we must take action to support Haitian grassroots feminists and other progressive social movement actors who are sustaining their communities and demanding more just policies toward their country.
Taking Action in Haiti
MADRE, the global feminist fund and women's human rights organization I direct, has partnered with Haitian feminists for decades. We began working with local women's organizations in 1994, during the US-backed coup d'etat against Haiti's first democratically elected President. We helped our partners document and prosecute cases of political and sexual violence committed to enforce the coup. Since then, we have supported anti-violence programs and women's campaigns to change laws on gender-based violence.
After the 2010 earthquake, we sent aid to on-the-ground groups who could channel support directly to those made most vulnerable by the disaster, including women and LGBTIQ+ people. Today, it's widely accepted that women-led provision of humanitarian relief is the best way to ensure that supplies reach those most in need.
When this year's earthquake struck, we reached out to our partners, the Haitian Women's Collective (HWC), a network of community-based organizations led by and for women and girls. We asked what they needed and they immediately named priorities that large international aid groups and governments often miss. Money to pay teachers, who would be vital community leads, was critical, they said. What's more, it was crucial to support a network of midwives who would continue to assist in births and provide sexual and reproductive health care.
The members of HWC also thought about how to connect emergency relief to long-term recovery and sustainability. We focused on sourcing humanitarian food aid from Haitian women farmers and women-led businesses. That's especially critical in a country that's been overrun by foreign nonprofits. Too often, these groups perpetuate an international aid system that benefits industrial agriculture and aid organizations in rich countries while undermining local economies.
"We need partners that offer solidarity, not aid dependency," says Carine Jocelyn of HWC. "We want to bring about meaningful change that will strengthen the sovereignty of the Haitian people. We want to transform the conditions—often a direct result of harmful US policies—that put Haitians at risk to begin with. That's why we advocate for policies that would produce accountability for aid dollars, and ensure more just immigration procedures and a halt to deportations. Unless we can create space for Haitian voices, especially women's voices, in policies that affect them, Haiti will continue to suffer. For true recovery to happen, the US must take responsibility for some of the abusive conditions in Haiti."
Genuine recovery, Carine noted, will require long-term solutions to the humanitarian, political, economic, climate, and human rights crises that Haiti faces. Recovery means Haitian sovereignty, and transforming the relationship between the US and Haiti from one of exploitation and extraction to reparations and justice.
Indeed, grassroots organizations led by and for women, girls, and LGBTIQ+ Haitians are best positioned to understand and address the immediate needs of their communities grappling with ongoing humanitarian and human rights disasters. But they are equally well-positioned to know what it takes to bring about a just, inclusive, and sustainable future for Haiti. It is their vision that we must trust. It is their lead that we must finally follow.
Yifat Susskind is the Executive Director of MADRE, an international women's human rights organization. She has worked with women's human rights activists from Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa to create programs in their communities to address women's health, violence against women, economic and environmental justice and peacebuilding. She has also written extensively on US foreign policy and women's human rights and her critical analysis has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy in Focus and elsewhere.

What's new in the EVO?
Relentlessly committed to innovation, Airwolf 3D has released powerful new functionality that has never been seen in 3D printers before. Chief among these is PartSave™. Nicknamed "Zombie Mode," this new feature fixes one of the biggest problems of 3D printing. Power users who print large parts understand the incredible frustration of running a print for hours only to have it fail due to power interruption or accidentally unplugging a printer. Those days are over.
PartSave™ remembers where the part was printing during power failure and then resumes the print as soon as power is restored.
Similarly, if you've ever lost a print because you run out of filament or experience a jam, EVO has a built-in solution for that, too. Just place the print head at the height you left off and FailSafe™ will do the rest, restoring your print and completing the job with time to spare.
The new PartSave™ and FailSafe™ functions restore prints after interruptions.
Learn more about all of EVO's features and read the press release here.

Q: Vue.js inheritance call parent method Is it possible to use method overriding in Vue.js?
var SomeClassA = Vue.extend({
  methods: {
    someFunction: function() {
      // ClassA some stuff
    }
  }
});

var SomeClassB = SomeClassA.extend({
  methods: {
    someFunction: function() {
      // CALL SomeClassA.someFunction
    }
  }
});

I want to call ClassA someFunction from ClassB someFunction. Is it even possible?

A: In case someone asks for a solution here is mine and works fine :
var SomeClassA = {
    methods: {
        someFunction: function () {
            this.defaultSomeFunction();
        },
        // defaultSomeFunction acts like parent.someFunction() so call it in inheritance
        defaultSomeFunction: function () {
            // ClassA some stuff
        },
    },
};

var SomeClassB = {
    extends: SomeClassA,
    methods: {
        someFunction: function () {
            // Replace the wanted SomeClassA::someFunction()
            this.defaultSomeFunction();
            // Add custom code here
        },
    },
};

using juste extends from https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/api/#extends replaces the usage of Vue.extends()

A: No, vue doesn't work with a direct inheritance model. You can't A.extend an component, as far as I know. It's parent-child relationships work mainly through props and events.
There are however three solutions:
1. Passing props (parent-child)
var SomeComponentA = Vue.extend({
    methods: {
        someFunction: function () {
            // ClassA some stuff
        }
    }
});

var SomeComponentB = Vue.extend({
   props: [ 'someFunctionParent' ],
   methods: {
       someFunction: function () {
           // Do your stuff
           this.someFunctionParent();
       }
   }
});

and in the template of SomeComponentA:
<some-component-b someFunctionParent="someFunction"></some-component-b>

2. Mixins
If this is common functionality that you want to use in other places, using a mixin might be more idiomatic:
var mixin = {
    methods: {
        someFunction: function() {
            // ...
        }
    }
};

var SomeComponentA = Vue.extend({
    mixins: [ mixin ],
    methods: {
    }
});

var SomeComponentB = Vue.extend({
   methods: {
       someFunctionExtended: function () {
           // Do your stuff
           this.someFunction();
       }
   }
});

3. Calling parent props (parent-child, ugly)
// In someComponentB's 'someFunction':
this.$parent.$options.methods.someFunction(...);

A: In case someone's interested in a JustWorksTM solution:
var FooComponent = {
  template: '<button @click="fooMethod()" v-text="buttonLabel"></button>',

  data: function () {
   return {
     foo: 1,
     bar: 'lorem',
     buttonLabel: 'Click me',
   }
  },

  methods: {
    fooMethod: function () {
      alert('called from FooComponent');
    },

    barMethod: function () {
      alert('called from FooComponent');
    },
  }
}

var FooComponentSpecialised = {
  extends: FooComponent,

  data: function () {
   return {
     buttonLabel: 'Specialised click me',
     zar: 'ipsum',
   }
  },

  methods: {
    fooMethod: function () {
      FooComponent.methods.fooMethod.call(this);

      alert('called from FooComponentSpecialised');
    },
  }
}

More info:

*

*This solution is for devs that can't use TypeScript for some reason (which I think allows defining vue components as classes, which in turn allows full inheritance feature-set).

*Further elaboration about the solution (whys and hows): https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/2977

*This ain't that ugly, considering that no rocket science is used here (calling anonymous functions with the this pointer replaced should be no magic for any decent js dev).

How to use Function.prototype.call()
Reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/call
Sample code:
function Product(name, price) {
  this.name = name;
  this.price = price;
}

function Food(name, price) {
  Product.call(this, name, price);
  this.category = 'food';
}

console.log(new Food('cheese', 5).name);
// expected output: "cheese"

Facile à utiliser et a comprendre mais avant de l'installer sa disais que l'application est en français aussi, mais c'est pas vrai car l'application est seulement en anglais!!!
Keeps asking to be reviewed, every-time I go through the main screen. Editing the re-occurring expenses looks exactly like editing monthly expenses - this is not helpful. You can't add/change major categories and there's no real way to track different accounts within the app. Not terribly impressed.


Today I spoke at the Communitech lunch to about 100 people. The talk was on "10 ways to grow a business" and was loosely based on my blog article of Dec 10. Most of the interesting discussion though came from the questions. During the question period, I covered some of my Guerilla growth tactics. As a speaker gift, they gave me one of my favourite books - a blank one.
Then tonight I had my YPO meeting. This is my personal board of directors. They are a group of other business leaders that I meet with monthly.
So today was a networking day. Networking can be a great way to solve problems more quickly. It can be a great way to confirm decisions.
So my time tip for today (and it can save time) is "nurture a network".
True wisdom is learning from others's success and avoiding their failures.
Networking can also get you some nice new coats now and then. I like your idea though, and find that talking to people using their names makes things go smoothly. It also lets you keep your friends close and enemies closer.
Great to hear you speak to the issues of growth within profit.
Here at the Canadian Innovation Centre we recommend this strategy to many clients. Unless you are already in relationship with the "BIG" money, before you start the new business, then a growth strategy embedded in profit is very important to success.
Enjoyed listening to you at Communitech. Many of your "Estill-isms" hit home for me. I have been with Metafore for 15 years (in fact I think your brother was our EMJ rep for some time) so yes I do occassionally find myself reminiscing for the good old days. Thank you for the reminder to embrace change and "do the hustle".

On (a lack of) constructive criticism of the federal budget
I've written about what I call constructive opposition on this blog a couple of times before (here and here).
In each case, I've referred to the failure of Canada's non-governing political parties to criticize the Trudeau Liberals in a manner that differentiates them in a positive way.
Having read the Globe and Mail's coverage of the foreign aid community's response to the federal budget, it seems to me that the problem is not just with our elected opposition.
The article notes that Ottawa will be providing Global Affairs Canada with up to $375 million to support Canada's international pandemic response in this coming year, along with another $165 million for international humanitarian assistance writ large.
The government has also promised annual increases to Canada's development assistance budget for the next five years ($1.4 billion total), new money to respond to the Rohingya crisis ($288.3 million over three years), and assistance for Venezuelan refugees ($80.3 million over two years).
When asked for his reaction, Nicolas Moyer, the CEO of Cooperation Canada (formerly the Canadian Council for International Cooperation) which purports to speak for over 80 international development and humanitarian organizations, responded:
"In a moment where the world is facing its greatest crisis of a generation, the apparent ambivalence of our budget to the global crisis can arguably be interpreted as negligence."
Cooperation Canada wants Ottawa to allocate 1% of Canada's domestic COVID spending (or about $1.9 billion) to the international effort.
I am sympathetic to the basic argument that the pandemic will not end until it ends everywhere. Moreover, as one of the world's wealthiest countries, Canada is certainly well positioned to contribute more than its fair share to make that happen.
But I can all-but-promise you that the Trudeau Liberals brushed off Moyer's comments without flinching (if they noticed them at all).
I see three problems with his approach.
First, calling for more money is so predictable that the government would have factored such a critique into its announcement.
In other words, the Liberals were well aware that some groups wouldn't be satisfied with the extent of their international commitment; that's always the case.
Second, 1% is arbitrary. Why not 0.7% (to mimic the 0.7% of gross national income that the UN has called on all developed countries to contribute to international assistance)? Or 2%?
Or should percentages have anything to do with Canada's commitment – the needs of the world have no direct relationship with the extent of the Canadian government's domestic COVID-19 response budget.
A number without a compelling narrative is unhelpful.
Most important, there is little constructive in Moyer's comments.
Far more interesting, at least to me, would have been observations about the lack of an explicit strategy to distribute excess Canadian vaccines to countries in need.
Should our surplus be donated to COVAX? Handed out directly to governments? How might Ottawa prioritize? Cooperation Canada has the expertise to provide credible answers to these questions.
It is a shame that Moyer appears to have missed the opportunity to do so.
A pox (plague) on both their houses:
Back in 2014, the governing Conservative Party faced a major scandal surrounding how it dealt with Senator Mike Duffy's expense claims. Those who follow politics will recall the controversy over how much Prime Minister Stephen Harper knew about the actions of his chief of staff, Nigel Wright, who paid Duffy's bill to try to make the problem go away. At the time, Conservative partisans were adamant that Harper never knew that Wright had written a personal cheque. Members of the opposition, including the Liberals, were incredulous.
Flash forward to 2021 and the governing Liberal Party faces a scandal over how it dealt with allegations of sexual misconduct by the chief of the defence staff, Jonathan Vance. It turns out that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief of staff, Katie Telford, had been briefed about the allegations. Now Liberal partisans are adamant that Trudeau should be taken at his word when he says he was not personally aware of the case, and the Conservatives are incredulous.
Going into politics is honourable. What excessive partisanship does to so many of our elected officials (and their supporters) is not.

On foreign policy report cards...
The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs' David Carment and two of his graduate students, Ted Fraser and Sydney Stewart, wrote a commentary for the Hill Times last week that got me thinking.
(Disclosure: In the late 1990s, I took one of Carment's classes. More recently, he contributed to my book with Chris Kukucha on the Harper government's approach to world affairs).
The article is called "Why Trudeau can afford to fail on foreign policy," and the pull-quote reads:
"Foreign policy rarely, if ever, decides elections, and the Trudeau government should be thankful for this."
The authors use the essay to promote their Foreign Policy Report Card, an annual summary of the thinking of some of NPSIA's experts on international affairs.
You are welcome to read the 68-page document in full (spoiler: the government got its worst overall grade yet, a 'C'), but it is the argument about accountability in foreign policy that intrigues me here.
Carment and his students seem to be suggesting that Canadians should express their pleasure and disappointment with the government's foreign policy through the ballot box.
I have three concerns with this line of thinking.
First, it assumes that individual governments exercise sufficient control over Canadian foreign policy so as to justify holding them exclusively accountable for its outcomes.
I'm not so sure: From where I sit, the constraints facing our practitioners are overwhelming.
No matter the government, the primacy of Canada's relationship with the United States endures. Foreign policy is simply easier under certain administrations.
Add to that the benefits we accrue by the persistence of a liberal world order, and the room for manoeuvre becomes even more limited.
Significant deviations from the Canadian foreign policy norm will often amount to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Indeed, Carment himself was just as critical of the previous Conservative government's foreign policy as he is of the approach today.
Which leads to my second concern: Opposition parties are poorly positioned to offer plausible foreign policy alternatives.
In Canada, the government has a virtual monopoly on top-secret level security briefings. Without them, opposition proposals inevitably lack credibility.
For example, the third-party Trudeau Liberals might have articulated their 2015 peacekeeping promises less boldly had they been able to run them by our diplomatic corps and the Department of National Defence.
Third, Canadians shouldn't be the exclusive assessors of Ottawa's international conduct.
Surely, the Latvians' views on Operation Reassurance should play a role in evaluating the effectiveness of our contribution. Recipients of Canadian international assistance should be consulted about the quality of our development programming. And to gage the acuity of our trade negotiators, their counterparts on the other side of the table should be consulted.
I don't mean to suggest that a Canadian government's foreign policy should get a free pass.
I, too, am critical of the Trudeau Liberals' approach to global affairs, but my criticisms tend to focus on issues that are within Ottawa's control.
For example, I am disappointed by the appointment of four foreign ministers in less than six years.
Mastering the international file takes time. Minister Champagne was only beginning to find his way when he was so abruptly replaced.
I also find the number of senior officials in Global Affairs Canada who have never taken the foreign service exam discomforting.
Morale is better when diplomats can legitimately envision themselves ascending to the most influential policy roles in their department.
When I vote, however, these concerns (among others) will form only a small part of my decision.
I see more harm that good in single-issue voting, especially when the issue offers limited potential for serious alternatives in policy approach.
On the politics of Canadian foreign policy, there is nothing more comprehensive than the book of the same name by Kim Richard Nossal, Stéphane Roussel, and Stéphane Paquin. It's now in its fourth edition. I hope the fifth includes more about the place of Indigenous peoples in Canada's international realm. Speaking of which, Alicia Campney's recent piece about "How the Supreme Court's carbon price review intersects with Indigenous rights and reconciliation" is worth a look. I learned a lot from it.


Are There Advantages to Alloy Wheels?
Alloy wheels have become increasingly popular in recent years. Alloy wheels were once found solely on luxury cars and sports cars, but now they can be found on all sorts of cars. Alloy wheels are not made from steel, which is the traditional material for wheels. Instead, they are made from aluminum or magnesium alloy (and sometimes a combination of the two). Whether you get upgraded alloy wheels when you purchase your vehicle or if you buy them later on, they are sure to enhance the aesthetics of your vehicle.
Improved performance: Because they are lighter weight than steel wheels, alloy wheels are easier on the suspension system of your vehicle.
Improved fuel economy: Again, the lower weight of alloy wheels improves your miles per gallon.
Increased heat dissipation and braking power: Heat is more easily able to escape your wheels when they are made of alloy, which translates to less chance of braking failure and better braking.
Increased tire life: Reduced heat is easier on your tires and they hold air better because alloy wheels are airtight.
Alloy wheels are also less likely to rust or corrode than steel. So, now you might be wondering why alloy wheels aren't the industry standard? There are some considerations before you upgrade. First, alloy wheels are significantly more expensive than steel. Because of their value, they are more likely to be stolen and you will need special lug nuts to prevent this. Most importantly, alloy wheels are not as strong as steel. Hitting a pot hole or driving on uneven roads can cause cracking and breaking, forcing you to buy new wheels.

Huge Win! Durham City Council Passes $15/hr and raises for all!
DURHAM – On Thursday, June 9, City Council voted to raise the minimum wage for city employees to $15 per hour! This is due to the weekly pickets the UE150 Durham City Workers, Raise Up, Durham Beyond Policing held in front of city hall every week for 10 weeks, and strong community support!
City employees will be earning a minimum of $15 starting July 1, 2018(beginning FY 2019). The current starting wage is $12.53. Wages will go up this July, then again next July then hit $15 in two years on July 1, 2018. Note: this is much faster than Greensboro resolution and better than all in state, including Wake County resolution.
Other city workers will also receive "pay for performance" raises of 3.25 – 5.5% ( the city calculates people will get average of 3.8% increase). This is not the $2,000 across-the-board increases that we had demanded, but it is a larger raise than any year since 2008 for city workers. Much thanks also to the People's Alliance for endorsing our across-the-board demand and helping to win a new living wage calculation (so even after 2018 the bottom wages will continue to increase based on cost of housing increases).
We also had push to include part-time workers in this, which other cities usually exclude, and council is including in next year's July 1, 2017 increases. We had been having weekly pickets at city hall for 10 weeks every Monday with a broad community coalition, including 150 people that marched on Monday, May 2 for May Day to support our union's demands.
Attached are two pictures of Daryl Brunson, Solid Waste, speaking at city council meeting on Monday, including the demand for formal resolution on meet-n-confer which is still moving forward.
Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant CAAMWU union members win wage increase, nearing $15/hr!
On April 14, 2016 workers at the Cummins Engine Plant and community supporters, along with support from 14 area churches, joined the national rally for wages of atleast $15 per hour for all workers. Then on May 25 the workers held another rally during an all employee meeting. As a result, Cummins workers got 50 cents across board raise for both operations and skilled trades, even though plant manager said company wage survey of 5 state region indicated operations workers at RMEP are over paid by over $1 and skilled trades are under paid by over $1, company gave 50 cents to all, which address long standing Union demand for same across board raise for operations and skilled trades. This bring entry pay up for Cummins workers at RMEP to $14.31, now only 69 cents short of $15. This as a victory!

Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal together cover a vast area of 294,000 sq km which stretches from the Himalayas to the Indo-Gangetic Plains. It has the population of 175 million and the main language of these states is Hindi. A wide variety of landscapes and historic monuments are offered by these two states. Among the place of tourist attraction in UP plains are the famous Taj Mahal, many Islamic monuments along with the Holy city of Varanasi and the Budhist Stupas of Sarnath. After every 12 years mammoth Kumbh Mela takes place at Allahabad as well as at Haridwar. Till November 2000 the Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh was not separate but in November 2000 the hill area of Uttar Pradesh became the separate state of Uttaranchal. There are a lot of places of tourist attraction at the hill state of Uttaranchal and those places includes beautiful trekking trails, the picturesque hill stations of Mussoorie and Nainital along with yoga rafting tours and yoga ashrams around Rishikesh. There is also Corbett National Park which is very famous for its tigers.
In this article I am giving you the detail description of the tourist attraction of Agra which was the seat of the imperial Mughal Court during the 16th and 17th centuries. After that the capital was shifted to Delhi.City of Agra is located on the banks of Yamuna and along the Grand Trunk Road. The city was very flourished under the patronage of emperor Akbar, Jahangir and Shah jahan. There are many luxurious forts, palaces and gardens and mausoleums at Agra built by many artisans from Persia and Central Asia and also from other parts of India. Among its many tourist attractions Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort and Akbar's abandoned capital of Fatehpur sikri has been declared by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
Agra fort was built by Emperor Akbar on the west bank of Yamuna between 1565 and 1573. It is made of Red Sandstone. It has an enormous complex of courtly buildings which ranges in style from the early eclecticism of Akbar the sublime elegance of Shah Jahan. Surrounding the fort there is a deep moat which once filled with water from Yamuna. At its northern side there is barracks which is an addition from the British in 19th century.
There is an impressive Amar Singh Gate in the south which leads into the fort. Towards its right is the Jahangiri Mahal which is the only major palace in the fort which dates back to Akbar's reign. This was the zenana or main harem with its arrangements of halls, courtyards and galleries. There is a large marble pool in the front of Jehangiri Mahal about which it is said that during Nur Jahan's time it was used to fill with rose petals for the queen to take her bath in the scented water.
There is an elegant marble hall known as Khas Mahal which has vividly painted ceiling which is the characteristic of Shah Jahan's style of architecture. There are two golden pavilions which have curved roofs and it is said to be associated with princess Jahanara and Roshanara. Then there is an Anguri Bagh facing these pavilions which means Grape garden. Towards the northeast is the Sheesh mahal and Royal baths. There is also a double storied octagonal tower known as Massuman Burj from where the clear view of Taj can be seen. It is said that when Aurangazeb captured and imprisoned his father then Shah Jahan spend his last days in this burj.
It is also known as "Friday Mosque" and was sponsored by Jahanara begum. It is a magnificently proportioned building in the heart of this historic town of Agra. This mosque was built in 1648. Its sandstone and marble domes with their distinctive zigzag cheveron patters dominate this section of the town. There is a tank which has Shahi Chirag (royal stove) for heating water within the courtyard and there is a separate chamber for ladies.
This is Agra's most prestigious institution. It has an unusual architectural design. It design has often been described as an astounding mixture of antiquarian, the scholarly and symbolic. There are many groups of red sandstone constructed buildings which includes a hall and library which are arranged around a quadrangle. It was designed on the basis of Fatehpur Sikri style by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. It was inaugurated in 1914 and was started by the Church Missionary society.
It was established in 17th century and it is the oldest graveyard in North India. It was established by an Armenian merchant, Khoja Mortenpus. Even today there are many Islamic-style gravestones which have inscriptions in Armenian. Among those that even survive today are those of cannon expert, Shah Nazar Khan and that of Khoja Mortenepus himself. Among all the tombs the largest tomb is that of John Hessing who was a British Commander in the army of Scidias who were the ruler of Gwalior. His tomb which was built in 18o3 after his death is very much made on the model of Taj mahal.

A new artwork has been unveiled in Southwark. 'The Eye On The Road' takes pride of place at the back of Bermondsey Square overlooking Tower Bridge Road as is the work of esteemed digital artist, Helen Marshall of The People's Picture. The giant photo mural is made up of 1,955 images reflecting the local history and present day activities in and around Tower Bridge Road. The eye itself is the artist's daughter and acts as a signature for her work.
Helen Marshall, whose work includes 'Face of World War One' which was commissioned by BBC World Ward One and an images of the Queen in commemoration of the monarch's Jubilee celebration at Gatwick Airport, worked collaboratively with the Southwark local history service, Team London Bridge, the Bermondsey Street Festival and local photographers to collate images reflecting the local history and present day activities in and around Tower Bridge Road.

Asked to write government speech, peacekeeping vets pen policy
Written by admin on 21/07/2019 Categories: 苏州美甲美睫培训
OTTAWA — After years of being denied a federal minister at their annual ceremony in Ottawa, Canada's peacekeepers came close this year: They could have a parliamentary secretary – as long as organizers wrote his speech.
So they did.
And they inserted a pet policy of their own.
"If you hand someone a loaded gun, you shouldn't be surprised if they use it," said Wayne Mac Culloch, national president for the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping.
Mac Culloch said he invited the three relevant ministers in February, hoping one would commit to the Aug. 10 event.
"The first one to say no was National Defence, followed not long after by Public Safety. I had to prod Veterans Affairs to give me an answer, which I only got two weeks ago. And at that point, they said, 'No, it's going to be the parliamentary secretary. And you write his remarks.'"
So unless his office changes the script before then, on Sunday parliamentary secretary for veterans affairs Parm Gill will announce Conservative plans to add a police officer to the iconic peacekeepers' monument in downtown Ottawa — something Mac Culloch's members have been requesting for years.
Watching the federal Tories' ornate combat- and mission-related' ceremonies has left many peacekeepers — a notable and distinguished part of Canadian history —with a bad taste in their mouths, feeling they are being pushed farther and farther into the shadows, Mac Culloch said.
It's "pathetic," says New Democrat defence critic Jack Harris.
READ MORE: Veterans Affairs' disability compensation tweet is misleading, critic says
"Surveys show Canadians are very proud of Canada's once-strong reputation for being at the forefront of international peacekeeping efforts," he said in an interview. "The fact that this government would ignore the efforts of the UN peacekeepers' association is a shame."
When Mac Culloch was asked last month to prepare a speech for Veterans Affairs, he was livid at first. Then he saw a silver lining: If he had to write a government speech, he may as well take advantage of the government's DIY approach.
The peacekeepers' association has long lobbied to add a fourth figure to downtown Ottawa 's striking memorial. It currently features two men and one woman perched atop a stone wall emerging from a series of jagged rocks and sparse vegetation — depicting the stability and calmness peacekeepers help bring to areas of conflict.
While fond of the monument, the association of peacekeeping veterans says it needs one final figure — that of a police officer.
Their requests to the government have mostly been met with dead air, Mac Culloch said. That is, until he wrote its addition into the parliamentary secretary's speech.

"The three military figures on the monument behind me recognize … the variety of military missions in which our country has participated," the speech prepared for parliamentary secretary Gill reads. "But there is something missing — a police officer. It gives me great pleasure to announce that the government of Canada is resolved to correct that deficiency by adding a fourth figure."
As of Thursday afternoon, Mac Culloch said, the minister's office had thanked him for the speech and given no indication they intended to change it.
Veterans Minister Julian Fantino, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and National Defence Minister Rob Nicholson all declined interviews.
A spokesman for Blaney said the office will issue a statement on National Peacekeepers' Day, and noted the minister attended a ceremony in Quebec City in 2012, when he was veterans minister.
READ MORE: Crisis in the military
Nicholson's spokesperson referred questions to Veterans Affairs without any other comment.
Minister Fantino's spokeswoman offered a statement saying the minister is committed to ensuring all Canadians can pay tribute to all veterans, but didn't address any specific questions posed of the minister, including why Gill didn't write his own speech and whether he would deliver the speech as is.
Once upon a time, peacekeepers were a Canadian point of pride. Since 1948, when the first Canadian peacekeepers went to the Middle East, 150,000 Canadians have followed suit. Excluding Afghanistan, 116 military peacekeepers, two RCMP officers and three public servants have lost their lives.

"The numbers may be small compared to world wars, but it's 100 per cent of what the government has asked for. And they're the ones who control the numbers," Mac Culloch said.
For his part, Mac Culloch has done four tours of duty in Bosnia (1994-95, 2000, 2001 and 2003) and one in Haiti (1996). He's acted as operations officer for 25,010 UN peacekeepers and negotiated disarmament in Bosnia, and helped rebuild Haiti's national power company.
"Canada has a long and honourable tradition of engagement in peacekeeping activities," said NDP critic Harris.
Today, he noted, Canada is way down on the list of contributors to international peacekeeping efforts, with fewer than 120 people participating in missions around the world.
"That's a very, very insignificant contribution for a country that has, in the past, made a very significant contribution to international peace and security."

Downsizer Contributions to Super
For older Australians being unable to invest the proceeds from selling their homes into superannuation has been a great discouragement towards downsizing. The proposed new measure from the 2017 Federal Budget, to reduce pressure on housing affordability allowing the contributions from proceeds of downsizing your home into superannuation has now passed both houses of parliament. The government hopes this measure will encourage some people to downsize into housing that is more suitable to their needs, freeing up larger family homes.
From 1 July 2018, people aged 65 and over will be able to make a non-concessional (post-tax) contribution into their superannuation of up to $300,000 from the proceeds of selling their home.
The existing voluntary contribution rules for people aged 65 and older (work test for 65-74 year olds, no contributions for those aged 75 and over) and restrictions on non-concessional contributions for people with balances above $1.6 million will not apply to contributions made under this new special downsizing cap.
This measure will apply to a principal place of residence held for a minimum of 10 years. Both members of a couple will be able to take advantage of this measure for the same home, meaning $600,000 per couple can be contributed to superannuation through the downsizing cap.
These new contributions will be in addition to any other voluntary contributions that people are able to make under the existing contribution rules and concessional and non-concessional caps.

Jody Watley's "Flower" released...finally
A decade after being inexplicably shelved prior to launch, Jody Watley's Flower has finally been made available for the digital world via an mp3-only release. The album, which found the always forward-looking Watley continuing to progress artistically, never saw the light of day and both began and ended a very short stay at Atlantic Records. Perhaps it was a shock for corporate execs wanting a dance album from Watley. As Watley put it, "The direction for 'Flower' was decidely more adult and a progression of my work on 'Intimacy' and 'Affairs of the Heart'."
The disc features a who's who of collaborators, including Rahsaan Patterson, Masters at Work and D'Wayne Wiggins, among others.
Watley's fans, many of whom have only heard the single "Off the Hook" and who have been waiting to listen to this album for years, will now get the chance.

CALGARY -- Mike Labinjo, who participated in the Super Bowl and won a Grey Cup with the Calgary Stampeders, has died. He was 38.
The Calgary Stampeders, who Labinjo played for from 2007-10, confirmed Labinjo's death Saturday. The cause of death was not immediately available.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of Mike's death," John Hufnagel, Calgary's president and general manager, said in a statement. "He was a big man, with a big personality to match and he was a key part of our Grey Cup championship team in 2008.
"The team offers its condolences to Mike's family and friends."
The six-foot, 285-pound Toronto native played collegiately at Michigan State (2000-03) before being taken in the third round, No. 25 overall, by Calgary in the 2003 CFL draft. Labinjo was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection and named the Spartans' defensive MVP in 2003.
He led Michigan State in sacks in 2001 (five) and tied for team lead in interceptions in 2003 (three). He ranks ninth in school history in tackles for a loss (35).
Instead of heading to the CFL, Labinjo signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004. He played in the team's 24-21 Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots.
Labinjo was released by the Eagles during the '05 season and later joined joined the Indianapolis Colts, registering two tackles and a half sack in two games, before ending the campaign with the Miami Dolphins.
The following season, he backed up Zach Thomas, Miami's all-star linebacker. He was released by Miami at the end of the season and re-signed with Indianapolis in the off-season, but was let go in May 2007.
In all, Labinjo appeared in 10 career NFL games, registering 19 tackles and a forced fumble.
Labinjo joined the Stampeders on July 16, 2007 and picked up two tackles and four special-teams tackles in six games before suffering a season-ending elbow injury.
The following season, Labinjo had five sacks, tying him for the team lead with Canadian Miguel Robede and Charleston Hughes. He also had 33 regular-season tackles, and registered eight tackles and three sacks in Calgary's 22-18 win over B.C. in the West Division final.
Labinjo was also a key figure for Calgary in its 22-14 Grey Cup win over Montreal with three tackles, one sack and four pass deflections.
The Stampeders dealt Labinjo to Montreal on Jan. 12, 2001 for future considerations, but the Alouettes voided the deal a week later amid concerns of an elbow operation Labinjo had undergone.
Calgary released Labinjo on May 11, 2011, ending his pro football career.
Labinjo appeared in 44 career games with Calgary, recording 61 tackles (nine for a loss), seven special-teams tackles, six sacks, seven knockdowns and two fumble recoveries.
The Stampeders said Labinjo remained in the Alberta city following his football career, working at Solengo Capital and FirstService Residential.

Q: CONNECT BY never ending I've got a little trouble with a recursion using Oracle START WITH / CONNECT BY.
Given a table id_string, id, ordre, prec with id_string being a concatenation of id_ordre. and prec the link between two elements  having the same id (1_1,1,1,2 is linked to 1_1,1,2,null).
The table contains 500 rows with 196 unique id_string.
I want to retrieve all the linked rows from this table given starting with id_string equals id|| '_' || ordre and linked through ordre and prec, I use the following request
SELECT tda.*
FROM T_DRU_ALL tda
START WITH tda.ID|| '_' || tda.ORDRE = tda.id_string
CONNECT BY NOCYCLE PRIOR tda.ORDRE = tda.PREC and tda.id_string = tda.id_string
order by 1,2,3

My problem is very simple, the select has been running for one hour and is still running :'(
I'm sure there is something wrong in my code but I don't know where.
data file https://pastebin.com/R66T3hAu

A: You're missing a PRIOR, which is probably where your cycles were coming from and why you added NOCYCLE; without it, tda.id_string = tda.id_string is always true.
So at first glance you could just change:
CONNECT BY NOCYCLE PRIOR tda.ORDRE = tda.PREC and PRIOR tda.id_string = tda.id_string

or remove the NOCYCLE:
CONNECT BY PRIOR tda.ORDRE = tda.PREC and PRIOR tda.id_string = tda.id_string

But, that still never ends; curiously just rearranging the terms to what appears to be the same logical outcome works (but to me scans better anyway):
or rearrange the terms (which scans better to me, but shouldn't have any practical effect - not sure why I thought I saw one earlier!):
CONNECT BY tda.id_string = PRIOR tda.id_string AND tda.PREC = PRIOR tda.ORDRE

which now works OK:
ID_STRING         ID      ORDRE       PREC
--------- ---------- ---------- ----------
7682_2          7682          2
7682_2          7682         13          2
7682_2          7682         14         13
7690_6          7690          6
7690_7          7690          7
7693_2          7693          2
7693_2          7693          9          2
7693_2          7693         10          9
...

371 rows selected.

Personally I'd probably make the starting condition
START WITH tda.PREC IS NULL

rather than concatenating the values - it's the same result with the data you have, anyway.
db<>fiddle (which you could supply in future with sample data if there's that much of it; or provide a much smaller sample that shows the issue...)

After IS, Damascus suburb residents blocked from going home
Damascus's southern neighbourhood of Tadamun was left in ruins after a campaign of strikes and shelling

Layal Abou Rahal
Damascus (AFP) - Abu Mohammed thought he could finally go home after jihadists were expelled from his Damascus suburb, but he says Syrian authorities have blocked his return by wrongly classifying his dwelling as unfit to live in.
In May, regime forces turfed the Islamic State group out of a chunk of the capital's southern Tadamun neighbourhood with a campaign of air strikes and shelling.
For the first time in six years that meant full government control was restored over the area, bringing with it a calm that sparked hopes of a homecoming.
But instead, Abu Mohammed and others from Tadamun complain, the authorities have deemed many residences unfit, and are blocking their owners from returning ahead of a controversial redevelopment plan.
Five months after IS was forced out, regime barrages impede access to the former jihadist stronghold now under tight security, and an AFP team was unable to enter.
At the last checkpoint, rubble blocked the road. The floors of a nearby building lay pancaked one on top of the other, and a hole was blown in the minaret of a mosque.
Abu Mohammed said he managed to see his home before the state inspectors arrived -- and insisted it was still fine to live in despite the official ruling.
"There wasn't even a bullet hole. It had just been pillaged," he said, giving a pseudonym to avoid reprisals.
"It's so unfair for citizens who have waited for years (to return) and always stood by the state."
Another would-be returnee Othman al-Ayssami, 55, was indignant.
"Why can't I and thousands of other residents go home?" asked the lawyer.
"After the military operations ended, I entered the neighbourhood expecting huge damage," he said.
But in his four-floor home, "only the windows were broken", said Ayssami, without specifying if his residence had been deemed unfit.
- 'Right to go home' -
The neighbourhood of Tadamun has long been in a grey zone.
Once orchards, it has been populated since the late 1960s by people who fled the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights or flooded into Damascus from the countryside, often without official permission to build there.
But today its fate seems particularly uncertain after provincial authorities last month announced it would be affected by a controversial development law.
The law, known as Decree 10, allows the government to seize private property to create zoned developments, compensating owners with shares of the new projects.
If their land is selected, owners inevitably lose their property and must apply to receive shares in exchange.
Construction is not set to start in Tadamun for several years, but officials have already been dispatched to inspect its homes.
A provincial commissionhas been charged with evaluating damage and rating whether around 25,000 residential units are fit for human habitation.
Even if their homes are declared up to standard, no resident can move back until further notice.
When they realised that a large number of the homes marked as unfit had in fact not been damaged in fighting, members of the community held several meetings with the commission.
To vent their frustration, they set up a Facebook page named "The Tadamun Exiles".
"It's our right to go home," wrote one displaced resident.
- Red wax -
The commission has split up the neighbourhood into three sectors, the last covering the area that IS once controlled.
Commission head Faisal Srour told AFP that in the first two sectors inspectors "have visited 10,000 homes until now, of which 2,500 are fit for living in and 1,000 are not".
The remainder were still being classified, he said, but most units in the former jihadist sector were likely to be rated as unfit.
"That's where the fighting happened," he said.
Tadamun was overrun by rebels in 2012, then part of it fell three years later to the jihadists of IS.
Over the years, most residents were forced to flee their homes, and just 65,000 people live there today, compared to 250,000 before the outbreak of the war in 2011.
Homes that are declared fit for habitation are given a serial number and sealed with red wax and officials insist that the owners can reclaim them easily.
A resident can "get (their house) back normally after proving ownership", Tadamun mayor Ahmed Iskandar told AFP, talking by a portrait of President Bashar al-Assad in military uniform and sunglasses.
But because Tadamun is an informal neighbourhood, only 10 percent of the homes have officially registered property deeds -- and that is if they have not been lost during the war.
Most of the others from the area only have semi-official papers showing residency.
Even for those who do manage to return, the respite appears only temporary.
Eventually reconstruction, set to start in four to five years, should see the whole area razed to the ground.
Then too, no more than a tenth of the suburb's population will ever be able to present property deeds to receive shares in the reconstruction project.
But inspection commission head Srour said those who could not prove ownership -- likely at least 90 percent of residents -- would not be made homeless.
"We won't throw people out into the street, but provide them with compensation or alternative housing," he said.

Q: Filter out the required stuff from an input So I'm using webSpeechSysthesis to make something that can take inputs and give out results on it with the commands that I have ,  one command is the "solve" something like "solve √45" and it'll give the answer
I cant figure out how do I separate the √45 and use it to calculate , in Speech synthesis the string that is said is stored in a variable "text"
I tried using replace() and replace the solve with nothing so that I only have numbers and operators but I only get the ' ' , nothing after it
Let word = "solve"
if(text.startsWith(word)){
   let final = word.replaceAll(/\bsolve\b/g,'')
   Console.log(final)
}

A: You should use let final = text.replaceAll(/\bsolve\b/g,'') instead of let final = word.replaceAll(/\bsolve\b/g,'').

let text = "solve √45";
let word = "solve";
if(text.startsWith(word)) {
   let final = text.replaceAll(/\bsolve\b/g,'');
   console.log(final);
};

A: You don't need to check if a word starts with solve, you can do this with regex as well using the ^ character. There is also no need to use the global flag with replaceAll.

let word = "solve √45";

let final = word.replace(/^solve\b /g, "");

console.log(final);

Investigation of flow and solute transport in a shallow perched groundwater system beneath a potato field
Lamb, K. J. (2016). Investigation of flow and solute transport in a shallow perched groundwater system beneath a potato field.
Intensive potato production in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) has contributed to the leaching of nitrate to groundwater and increased nutrient loadings to surface waters. The presence of a compact till layer at roughly one metre depth is known to cause temporary perched water table conditions, which may result in lateral subsurface flow that may effectively reduce the migration of nitrate to groundwater. The primary objective of this work was to determine the importance of this compact layer to vertical and lateral subsurface flow of water and nitrate. A surface applied tracer test was conducted at the Harrington Research Farm in central PEI. A shallow drain-tile pipe system, with a tipping bucket gauge, was installed down gradient of the tracer application to monitor lateral subsurface flow. A three-dimensional electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) array was employed on surface to monitor the spatial and temporal distribution of the applied tracer. A small scale, transient flow and transport model was constructed to simulate the tracer test. Results from the tracer test monitoring and numerical modelling show that the occurrence of lateral flow is dependent on the antecedent moisture conditions in the subsurface. The water balance yielded a total vertical flow of 94 % of the infiltration for the period beginning October 25, 2014 and ending January 1, 2015. The cumulative observed tracer mass in the tipping bucket as of May 12, 2015 (10.5 months after tracer application) was 0.125 % of the applied mass. The preference for vertical over lateral flow was further evidenced by the electrical resistivity images for the same time period. These results show a strong preference for vertical flow of water and nitrate through the compact layer as opposed to lateral subsurface flow.

If this is only when you are on the internet, then you can go to properties and then set it so that winamp cannot access the internet, thats what I did and it worked fine.
wot you need to do is go to options and preferences and then click on the very top thing which is "setup" then you simply select no internet connection avaiable.
