A Level Biology students head West to the Eden Project…
7th February 20
2020 got off to a great start for Year 12 and 13 Biologists as they participated in the first ever residential Science trip! Aimed at enriching certain parts of the A level biology specification, students made their way to Cornwall to visit Paignton zoo, and the well known, popular tourist attraction, come education centre, come charity… the Eden project!
Staying in a youth hostel located on the Eden Project site, and made out of recycled shipping containers, students had a fantastic base to explore the local attractions.
Six hours into the drive and with no radio on the minibus, students and teachers found some ingenius ways to entertain themselves, Mr Burrows writes… "It should have been a very painful journey, but I was pleasantly surprised by how cheerful everyone stayed. There were two standout highlights. The first was going over Notter Bridge (which actually was a bridge) on the way to Paignton Zoo. The second was a biological game, where the students had to try and identify DNA or RNA codons from the three letters on car registrations, before turning them into amino acids and then into a protein. This is very niche and only true biologists will ever understand how much fun we, (mainly me), had!! Our biologists were a credit to the school everywhere we went, and I look forward to running this trip again in the future."
Here's what the students have to say about the trip…
Marcus…"On the second day of the trip we visited Paignton Zoo, home to over 250 species from around the world. During the day we saw gorillas and orangutans at the Ape Centre, a Komodo dragon in the reptile tropics and giraffes and zebras in the grasslands. Paignton zoo is home to the only short-beached echidna in the country, and even though it was asleep, it was still great to see! Throughout the day we saw how the keepers used various techniques to enrich the habitats of the animals and the passion the keepers had for the animals they looked after was always evident."
Emily… "We were surprised to find out that although Palm oil is often considered to be very bad for biodiversity, considering its devastating effects on habitats, it is actually the best oil to use when collected sustainably. This is because if we removed the use of Palm oil something would have to take its place. The problem with this is that Palm oil has the highest yield when compared to other oils often seen as much less damaging, such as Rapeseed. As a result, changing the type of oil we use could cause more damage than good, although this is only if sustainable Palm oil is chosen instead.
To make sure that we only bought items containing sustainable Palm Oil in the future, the keeper informed us of an app called 'Giki' which, when a barcode is scanned, determines the sustainability and eco-friendliness of a product. Our guide also explained to us the damage mobile phones are causing to the gorilla population. An ore called Coltan is required for mobile devices. This ore is often found in areas where gorillas live and when mines open to find the Coltan the gorillas find themselves displaced. However, the keeper explained that it wasn't actually the mining that was the greatest issue, this was more the fact that miners are paid very little and not given adequate food supplies or accommodation.
This means they often shoot the gorillas for meat as this is the easiest thing to do in the environment they are in. Our guide encouraged us to keep our phones for as long as possible rather than keep upgrading as this would mean less coltan is mined. She also encouraged us, when we did need to get a new phone, to recycle the one we have so the coltan already mined in our current phones can be used again, reducing the need for mining and therefore the damage to the gorilla population."
Scott… "At the Eden Project, we attended a talk on Biodiversity, explaining what it is, why it's important and what threatens it. Biodiversity, in general, can be explained as 'variety of life', however when being discussed in a scientific context, is often confused as to what aspect or definition is being referred to. Genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity are the most commonly referenced. Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. Species diversity is the number of different species represented in a community, often taking proportional representation and biomass into account. Ecosystem diversity is the range of different ecosystems in an area.
An interesting concept that was introduced to us was how people have calculated the total worth of the world's ecosystem services as an argument to maintain ecosystems. Forests have competitive market value goods within them: the animals and trees that can be sold. However, forests fill other roles besides providing goods to sell. These include supporting, cultural and regulatory roles. Within these include services such as flash flood prevention, housing pollinators for crops, maintaining soil integrity. The total ecosystem services worldwide can be estimated to be worth 125$ trillion, a price that outweighs the total GDP of 85$ trillion. This can be used to help argue the financial gain in preservation rather than exploitation for natural resources.
Threats to biodiversity include: desertification, the process by which land becomes desert through drought, deforestation or unsustainable agricultural production methods; Climate change, the change in climate patterns which can cause extinction through species not being able to adapt quickly enough, such as more and more turtles being born female due to temperature-dependent sex determination; Poverty, lack of wealth causing people to harvest natural resources from ecosystems at an unsustainable rate; Food insecurity, less reliable access to sufficient quantities of food resulting in unsustainable farming methods; Overpopulation, increased human population results in the effects of each of these factors being multiplied. Smaller threats such as ecosystem fragmentation and dynamite fishing also have an impact (albeit a smaller one) on ecosystems. Building roads or farms across or in ecosystems can fragment them, often causing the deaths of many species' individuals due to being cut off from resources, or increase the likelihood of being hit by a vehicle or shot by a farmer. Dynamite fishing near coral reefs causes trauma to the corals, destroying them and resulting in the deaths of further species that inhabited the reefs.
Now to conclude; Biodiversity is an important factor in the balance of the world and important for humanity to thrive. However, we keep thoughtlessly taking an axe to nature, unable to see our doom spelled out on the horizon due to the hanging mist of greed in our eyes. Even simple activities such as building a road or farm continue to contribute to the pile of non-human corpses that we close our eyes to. There is still the light of hope however. A light that gets dimmer with each passing day, but a light nonetheless."
Charlie…"Following the biodiversity workshop, we were given a guided tour of the rainforest biome in which we saw coffee beans, bananas, coco pods and oil palms amongst a variety of other rainforest flora. The guide told us that despite its reputation for being bad for the environment, palm oil is actually by far the most efficient plant-based oil for use in food production, and that rather than looking for alternatives, its best to use palm oil that is produced sustainably.
During the tour, Arshia in particular stood out by showing off his vast knowledge in the production of kopi luwak (cat poo coffee), a practice in which coffee beans are fed to the Asian palm civet before being extracted from its feces and cleaned. The coffee beans are then sold for a particularly high price.
We learnt how vulnerable bananas are to Panama disease, a fungal disease that causes rot in the centre of the plant and eventually prevents the movement of water along the stem, causing the plant to deteriorate and die. Bananas are especially vulnerable as they have no natural resistance to the disease because of the way bananas are produced from cloning, resulting in a lack of variation that means entire crops can be susceptible to the unfamiliar pathogen."
Emilia…"On the last night, we went to Morrisons to get ingredients for dinner, which we decided to cook at the youth hostel. When we were at the supermarket I was in charge of sourcing wraps and guacamole for the fajitas, whilst everyone else searched for the other ingredients. We then travelled back in the minibus to the hostel. I started to cut the peppers, Johan grated the cheese, Izzy cut onions, while Mr Burrows supervised and got the chicken ready. We then started to cook and put all of the ingredients together. Half the group helped to cook, and the half, the clearing up afterwards. The food was very good, and probably the nicest food we had there. I really enjoyed the whole trip especially the second day at the Eden project."
Sissy…"This trip was a really nice way to bring people together."

8 future Queensland coal mines after Adani
Posted By : Alex McHugh/
Under : coal , Mining , Recruitment
Approvals for coal mines can take a decade. From initial applications, environmental impact statements (EIS), and community consultations, it can seem impossible for a mine project to get going.
But with Adani being reported on so heavily, it may ease several large coal projects that have been waiting patiently.
The Bowen Basin Coal Growth Project – BMA
Current EIS status: Approved with conditions
Initial application lodged: 2008
BHM/BMA venture located in 170 KM south-west of Mackay, the project has two main components. The first is the Caval Ridge open-cut mine producing 5.5 million tonnes per annum, preparation plant, and residential village. The second is another open-cut Daunia mine producing 4 million tonne per annum and handling plant.
An airport and extension to Goonyella were also part of the original plans but have since been discontinued.
Alpha Coal Project – GVK Hancock
Current EIS status: Approved with conditions. Mining lease application still under assessment by state Government.
Initial applications lodged: 2008
A project by GVK Hancock, the project proposed includes six open-cut coal pits with infrastructure including 495 KM of rail and a new port at Abbot Point. The project will produce 30 million tonnes of coal per annum.
Regarding job opportunities, in the construction phase, the mine itself will produce 2,450 jobs and the rail will create 950.
When operational, the mine will need 2,200 staff across the six mines and 90 for the rail.
Galilee Coal and Rail Project – Waratah Coal
The Waratah Coal project will include two underground mines, two open-cut mines, two preparation plants, stockpiles, and infrastructure.
In its construction phase, the project will produce 3,500 job opportunities. When the mines become operational, 2,000 staff will be needed to produce 40 million tonnes per annum.
A port facility component is being assessed through a separate application.
New Acland Coal mine – New Acland Coal
The New Acland Coal Company is looking to expand its existing open-cut coal mine. Once the expansion is completed, the mine will output 7.5 million tonnes per annum.
Located just north of Toowoomba, the expansion will create 435 jobs when operational.
Key features of the project include the development of the Manning Vale and Willaroo resource areas, upgrades to the existing coal handling and preparation plant, rail infrastructure, and further roadwork and water management structures and power supply.
Byerwan Coal Project – Byerwan Coal
Byerwan Coal have applied for a new open-cut coal mine with a yield up to 10 million tonnes per annum.
Located 140 KM west of Mackay, key features include for mining zones compromising a total of eight open-cut pits, two coal handling and preparation plants, rail infrastructure and augmented power supply.
The project will create 300 jobs in construction phase and 545 operational jobs.
Olive Downs Project – Pembroke Olive Downs
One of the latest projects to join the approval process, Pembroke Olive Downs proposed to develop an open cut mine in the Bowen Basin.
The project will yield 15 million tonnes of coal per annum for steel production, handling and crushing facilities, rail infrastructure, as well as water and power supply.
In constriction phases, the 500 jobs created will be an economic driver for the local economy, which will eventually produce a further 1000 operational jobs when the mine is functional.
Wandoan Coal Project – Joint venture
A joint venture between Glencore Coal, ICRA Wandoan, and Sumisho Coal Australia, the project will include an open-cut thermal coal mine production 22 million tonnes per annum.
The application also includes a coal handing and preparation plant and infrastructure.
Kevin's Corner Project – Hancock Galilee
Application made by Hancock Galilee, the project includes a combined underground and open-cut coal mine.
All together there will be two open-cut coal mines, three underground mines, handing and waste facilities, accommodation areas, 2.5 KM airstrip, rail and road infrastructure.
1,500 jobs will be made during construction and 2,000 when operational.
New mining projects in 2020
Under : coal , Gold , Hard rock , Mining , Projects , Recruitment
With the new year just weeks away, what can we as a mining sector look forward to next year?
Eliwana, FMG – IRON and Rail Project
FMG is developing an iron or and rail project near Port Hedland in Pilbara worth around $1.3 Billion. It is estimated to have an annual production rate of 170 million tonnes over 20 years. The project will be an open out mine with a dry ore processing facility.
With over 1000 construction jobs and 650 operational roles, the first ore is expected December 2020.
Majors Creek, Dargues Reef, Diversified Mineral – GOLD
Construction began early 2019. DRA Global was awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract (EPC).
The project will produce 50,000 ounces of gold per annum for six years. As part of the project, DRA will develop a 355,000 tonne per annum processing facility and back fill plant.
First ore is expected t be processed in early 2020.
Carrapateena, OZ Minerals – Copper Gold
The project will be a 4.25 metric tonnes per annum, underground operation. Site infrastructure including accommodation, airstrip, and dual access declines were completed in 2018, with phase 2 currently underway. This includes the processing plant, storage facility, roads and power lines.
The first ore is expected December 2020.
Kanmantoo, Hill Grove Resources – Copper-Gold & Silver-Lead-Zinc
Located just 55 km outside of Adelaide, the project is will be up their as one of the most attractive mining locations.
Approximately 245 people will staff the mine and is likely to start up next year.
Black Rock, Mount Isa, Glencore – Copper
The project will achieve its first ore in 2020 and will provide additional ore into the already existing production till 2023.

Height - up to 90cm/3ft - Spread about 45cm/18"
Late March-April - temperature +10C/50F.
Once the plants are 7.3cm/3" tall, transplant to final growing positions planting them firmly with the lowest leaves just above soil level. and spacing the plants 60cm/2ft apart in rows or groups/ blocks.
Water in dry weather and foliar feed in early summer. Pull surround earth up around the base of each plant during the growing season and stake plants.
Cropping starts in about September and can continue over a period of up to 20 weeks. Begin picking sprouts from the base of the stem when they are the size of a small walnut. Remove any open "blown" sprouts and discard. Only pick a few sprouts from each plant at any one time, working upwards. Once all the sprouts have been harvested, cut off the green leafy tops and cook like cabbage.
Preparing: Wash in cold water. Cut off the base and any remaining stem then pull away and discard any leaves which have been loosened or which are yellowing. When boiling or steaming larger specimens, cut a cross in the base of the stem. This is not necessary for small button varieties.
When using the leafy tops, simply wash well and cook as cabbage.

E/JavaBinder( 1634):    at com.google.android.gms.wearable.DataMap.fromByteArray(Unknown Source)

Code:
@Override
public void onDataChanged(DataEventBuffer dataEvents) {
    for (DataEvent dataEvent : dataEvents) {
        final DataItem dataItem = dataEvent.getDataItem();
        byte [] data = (dataItem.isDataValid() ? dataItem.getData() : new byte[]{});
        Log.d(TAG, "Received data updates on URI: " + dataItem.getUri() + " " + data.length + " bytes");
        if (!dataItem.isDataValid() || data.length == 0) {
            Log.w(TAG, " - got invalid data on: " + dataItem.getUri());
            continue;
        }
        final DataMap dataMap = DataMap.fromByteArray(data); // <-- exception :(

Is this a known issue? If I get the data item on the same URI, it works fine, so the data is definitely there.

A: Changing the DataEvent -> DataItem -> DataMap from:
final DataItem dataItem = dataEvent.getDataItem();
byte [] data = dataItem.getData();
final DataMap dataMap = DataMap.fromByteArray(data);  <-- throws exception

to:
final DataMap dataMap = DataMapItem.fromDataItem(dataItem).getDataMap();
final DataMap dataMap = DataMap.fromByteArray(data);  <-- works!

Closing question.

A: the problem is probably in this line of code, you don't give a size to the byte array
byte [] data = (dataItem.isDataValid() ? dataItem.getData() : new byte[]{});

can you try replacing this line with
byte [] data = (dataItem.isDataValid() ? dataItem.getData() : new byte[0]);

The 1886 Staten Island Football Club football team was an American football team that represented four athletic clubs, the Staten Island Cricket, Rowing, and Athletic clubs, as well as the Clifton Athletic Club during the 1886 football season. The team compiled a  record and played its home games at St. George Cricket Grounds in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Staten Islanders were able to comply with the AFU's system of playing any other league opponents twice, but were forced to disqualify their November 6th match with the Crickets as a conference win because of some controversial officiating.

Van Zundert died in hospital on Tuesday morning. Before his death he told the police that several men tied him up and set him on fire in the garage on Sparrenweg. The police believe that a business conflict is behind this attack. "We assume that he knew at least one of the perpetrators", a police spokesperson said to NU.nl on Tuesday.
Brabants Dagblad identifies the suspect as Janie H., a man with a criminal record. He previously served prison time for threatening to blow himself up with explosives in a residential area in 2017. According to newspaper AD, this incident happened on the premises of Van Zundert's car business, then located on Esserstraat in the Breda neighborhood of Princenhage.
Danique Pals, a journalist that H. approached to write his biography in 2015, told Brabants Dagblad that she isn't surprised that H. came into contact with the police again, but she never expected him to do anything this brutal. "A nice man who always tries to come across nicely and correctly, despite his intellectual disability", is how the biography describes the man. "H. is a social man who always has friends and acquaintances around him. Someone with a lot of self-mockery and the ability to make other people laugh."
But there is also another, darker side to the man, Pals said to the newspaper, partly based on personal experiences. "He calls it a twist in his head. If he thinks there is injustice or powerlessness, he can get incredibly angry and emotional. At such a moment you really should not get into a fight with him. Then things can go wrong."
The fact that H. is suspected of involvement in the attack on Van Zundert does not surprise Pals very much. "But I was completely shocked by the way. Tying someone up and setting the on fire, who would come up with something like that?" she said to the newspaper. "If Janie is indeed responsible for this, I am shocked. I would never have thought that of him. Never!"

Jennifer Lopez Explains Why She and Alex Rodriguez Are Taking Time With Wedding Planning
TOPICS:Alex Rodriguezcelebrity weddingsJennifer Lopez
LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 31: Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez at the Guess Spring 2018 Campaign Reveal starring Jennifer Lopez on January 31, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Rachel Murray/Getty Images for Guess, Inc.)
By: Joyce Chen 03/02/2020 at 5:15 PM
For a megastar who is constantly pushing herself to be better, build bigger and go harder, Jennifer Lopez is surprisingly lax when it comes to her wedding plans with fiancé Alex Rodriguez—but for good reason. The Hollywood star has enjoyed a blockbuster busy year, what with the buzzworthy release of her crime drama Hustlers last fall and a headline-making Superbowl Half Time show performance in early 2020, and through it all, it's been her relationship with Rodriguez that has kept her grounded in the best way possible.
Asked by Oprah Winfrey recently whether or not she feels pressure to start wedding planning, Lopez replied in the negative.
"I said, 'If we're going to be together for the rest of our lives, what is the rush?'" Lopez told Winfrey during an interview for the media mogul's 2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus Tour. "If that's what we're really going to do, if we're really going to be partners, if we're really going to try to build something together that we both never had or never felt like we had, which is a family with a husband and a wife, and a mother and father, and we embrace all our children. We show them it's something that we didn't have."
Lopez and Rodriguez got engaged last March while on a romantic getaway to the Bahamas, and have been blissfully enjoying the process of planning ever since. The pair first started dating back in 2017, and have made sure to intentionally fuse their two families together ever since. (Lopez shares 12-year-old twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, and Rodriguez shares two daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 11, with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis.)
"For them both, they are still all about their family with the four kids," a source previously told People of Lopez and Rodriguez's unwavering focus on family. "Their initial strong attraction for each other would have quickly faded if they had not been able to come together as a family."
On Saturday, Lopez admitted to Oprah that initially, she got into wedding planning mode as soon as Rodriguez had popped the question; it was Rodriguez's thoughtful approach to the engagement, though, that reminded her to slow down.
"It's so funny because when we first got engaged, I was like, 'Oh, we're going to get married in a couple of months,'" she said. "Like, your old thinking comes right back, like all that hopeless romantic [stuff] that made me get married three times. [It all] came rushing back and then I was like, 'Wait, if we're going to be together for the rest of it' [and] he's like, 'Whatever you want to do, we can talk about it.'"
Lopez went on to gush about Rodriguez and tell the talk show host about how she knew that Rodriguez was going to be her partner for life.
"It was different than anything I had ever experienced in the sense of his consistency," she said. "What he says, he does every time. And he also wants to build together, which I've never had. I've never had, you know, somebody who wants to see me shine and grow and be."
This isn't the first time that Lopez has praised Rodriguez for his supportiveness (far from it; the singer-actress is effusive in her love for her man).
"We just complement each other," she said on the Today show last May. "We both have a lot of respect and admiration for each other. And he helps me. He helps me where I'm weak and I help him where he's weak and he makes me stronger and that's what it is."
Last May, Lopez told Today show host Savannah Guthrie that she always knew that she would marry Rodriguez even before he proposed. "I always planned to get married again," she said at the time. "I wanted to spend my life with somebody. I want to grow old with somebody. I think that's the goal, right? To find a partner to kind of walk through this crazy thing with." A source told People at the time that the couple are "not doing a huge wedding," but are instead focusing on a more intimate family affair.
Lopez was previously married to Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and before that, to dancer Chris Judd from 2001 to 2003. Her first marriage was to actor Ojani Noa, from 1997 to 1998. Rodriguez was married to Scurtis from 2002 to 2008.

Cadmus sau Cadmos este un erou din mitologia greacă, fiu al regelui Agenor al Sidonului. Unul dintre frații prințesei Europa, Cadmus este trimis în căutarea ei după ce Zeus, transformat în taur, o răpește. Călătoria îl poartă pe meleagurile Beoției, unde ridică cetatea Teba. Conform legendelor, descendenții lui Cadmus au domnit la Teba timp de mai multe generații, inclusiv în vremea Războiului troian.

Cadmus a fost recunoscut de grecii antici (Herodot c. 484 - c. 425 î.Hr., unul dintre primii istorici greci) ca fiind cel care a introdus elenilor alfabetul fenician original.

Etimologia numelui lui Cadmus este incertă. Traduceri din greacă, arabă și ebraică denotă că numele ar putea însemna excelent sau venit din est.

Mitologie
După ce Zeus o răpește pe Europa, Agenor, regele Sidonului, le poruncește celor trei fii ai săi, Fenix, Cilix și Cadmus, să străbată lumea și s-o găsească. Cei doi frați se rătăcesc de Cadmus și, de frică să se întoarcă acasă, întemeiază cetăți noi în care să domnească. Fenix devine astfel regele Feniciei, iar Cilix, al Ciliciei.

Cadmus călătorește până ajunge la poalele muntelui Parnas, unde urcă să ceară informații despre sora sa Oracolului din Delphi. Aici Apollo, vorbind prin preoteasa Pitia, îi ordonă să renunțe la Europa și să își urmeze propriul destin. Să calce pe calea arătată de o vită fermecată (în alte variante taur) până în locul în care aceasta va cădea moartă de oboseală. Acolo să pună bazele noii sale fortărețe. Săvârșind acestea, va atinge gloria, dar va plăti mai târziu prin multe suferințe. Cadmus respectă zeii și face întocmai cum i s-a zis.

Odată ajuns la destinație, Cadmus sărută pământul dăruit și începe să pregătescă o ofrandă Atenei (în alte variante lui Zeus). Își trimite însoțitorii să aducă apă de la izvorul din vecinătate. Soarta face ca aceștia să fie uciși de păzitorul acelei ape, un balaur al cărui tată era Ares.  Cadmus se răzbună și omoară monstrul. Este apoi instruit de Atena să semene dinții dragonului în pământ. Din acesta apar o seminție de oameni înarmați și feroce, numiți Spartoi ("semănat"). Aruncând o piatră printre ei, Cadmus îi face să cadă unii peste alții până când mai supraviețuiesc doar cinci, care îl ajută să construiască cetatea Tebei și devin fondatorii celor mai nobile familii din acel oraș.

Nunta cu Armonia
Balaurul fusese sacru pentru Ares, așa că zeul l-a pus pe Cadmus să ispășească o pedeapsă de opt ani, slujindu-l. Potrivit relatărilor tebane, la încheierea acestei perioade, zeii i-au dat-o ca soție pe Harmonia ("armonie", literalmente "a pune sau a aduna laolaltă"). La Teba, Cadmus și Harmonia au început o dinastie cu un fiu, Polydorus, și patru fiice, Agave, Autonoë, Ino și Semele.

La nunta celebrată la Samotracia (sau Teba) au fost prezenți toți zeii; Harmonia a primit ca daruri de nuntă un peplos lucrat de Atena și un colier făcut de Hefaistos. Acest colier, denumit Colierul Armoniei, a adus nenorocire tuturor celor care l-au posedat.

În pofida naturii divine rânduite căsătoriei și regatului său, Cadmus a trăit pentru a le regreta pe amândouă: familia sa a fost lovită de nenorociri grave, iar orașul de tulburări civile. În cele din urmă, Cadmus a abdicat în favoarea nepotului său, Penteu.

At 2:23 in the morning, the 30th rocket of the Long March No. 3, which was launched on the 4th, fell into the territory of Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. Due to the pre-preparation, supervision and in place, no casualties and major property losses were caused.


As the Olympic Torch arrived today in Krasnodar, Russia, the capitol city of Krasnodar Region of Russia, the police were busy detaining peaceful environmental activists from Environmental Watch on the North Caucasus (EWNC). On Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of February, the police detained seven members of the organization. All but one were released yesterday, but Evgeniy Vitishko, who was wrongfully arrested and sentenced to a three year suspended sentence in 2012, was re-arrested as he awaited the appeal of his trial on February 22nd. Accused of hooliganism at a public bus stop, the 51-year old activist was arrested and sentenced to 15 days in jail, a clear sign from the authorities that those who speak out against the environmental damage caused by the Olympics in Sochi will be punished.
Today, in a separate incident, Igor Kharchenko of EWNC, was arrested again by the police after his car was vandalized. When he and other members of EWNC approached the car, police handcuffed him, took him into custody and charged him with disobeying a police officer. He will spend tonight in jail.
EWNC is one of the few environmental groups in Russia to speak out openly against the numerous environmental and human rights problems associated with the Olympic games—destruction of old growth forests, devastation of homes of local residents, and numerous other violations.
EWNC has not only monitored the preparation for the Olympics, but also monitors and protects environmentally fragile areas throughout the North Caucasus, and has identified numerous areas where oil and gas companies drill in protected areas, public officials flagrantly violate environmental law for their personal benefit, and international conventions including those to protect endangered species, migratory birds, and world heritage sites are ignored by the Russian authorities and the international institutions designed to protect them.
The events of the past week are related to the Olympic Games. The Russian authorities are doing everything they can to subdue the voices of peaceful protest. And, rather than demonstrating their "might," the authorities are demonstrating the power of the voices of truth, actions of non-violent protest, and the spirit of those who stand up to authority. Environmental Watch on the North Caucasus and all those who speak the truth in these dark days deserve our support and our solidarity.


Ten minutes in the future, the world runs on an economy of job shares and apps, including Reapr: a crowdfunding platform to fund assassinations. Charlie Ellison leads a quiet, normal life until she's suddenly targeted by a million-dollar Reapr campaign. Hunted by all of Los Angeles, Charlie hires Vita, the lowest-rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. As the campaign picks up speed, they'll have to figure out who wants Charlie dead before the campaign's 30 days or their lives are over.

Hi Nathan, we've been in touch with the Topshop project management team and they have confirmed that they will be installing a jockey lift on the first floor that will provide access to the suit department. This was in their plans but they have not had a chance to install prior to opening. We're not sure exactly when they plan to install the lift yet but we would be happy to contact you again as soon as we know. Thanks again for raising this important issue. If you'd like to come and visit us we would also be happy to take you through our plans to ensure that Trinity Leeds is as accessible as possible when we open next spring – we worked on this with the access committee for Leeds and would welcome your comments.
I am so happy that Trinity Leeds have decided to respond so quickly and positively to your experience at Topshop/Topman. You should be very proud of the things you are doing and positively changing such building to make them accessible for everyone. Keep it up Nathan.
this is just not good enough - "a jockey lift". New buildings should have proper lifts, not platform lifts etc.
I wrote to their managing Director about this and got the response you did. That top level bit is also accessible from the inside floor level within Trinity. not that I'd ever go in there (Topshop) anyway, I'm too old for there!


Are you in the hustle and bustle of the holidays already? I certainly am, but I love holiday entertaining! Trust me, entertaining this time of year can be fun and easy. I am very excited to share this recipe for Warm Kale Bacon Dip just in time for your holiday gatherings. It's my family's favorite appetizer as it uses a few of our most loved ingredients such as kale, Borden and Sargento cheese, Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt and Bays English Muffins. What I really love about this recipe is its simplicity by using high-quality brands of shredded cheeses along with healthy ingredients such as Greek yogurt and kale. Friends ask me all the time for my top stress-free cooking tip and I usually tell them to keep it simple. Use your favorite ingredients and stop by the dairy and/or freezer section to make your life even easier. You can find so many items in these sections of the grocery store, which make cooking more economical, convenient and your recipes taste even better.
For this dip recipe, start by roasting the kale with a touch of olive oil until it is slightly wilted and crispy. Then, add to the cheeses and yogurt, stirring well. Complete this by topping with crumbled bacon. If you're not a bacon fan, you may omit this step. I used Bays English Muffins from the dairy section, which are a perfect accompaniment to this warm cheesy dip with their great texture and flavor.
Besides being tasty, this holiday appetizer is healthy too! It is filled with calcium, one of the body's most important minerals for strong healthy bones, as well as active cultures in the Greek yogurt, which adds more protein to this appetizer while also aiding in digestion and boosting the immune system (we all need this during the cold winter months). Kale is another fabulous, healthy ingredient addition, known as a super-food with vitamins and minerals.

Q: Running a series commands non-synchronously from a .bat file So here is my situation: I am calling a .bat file from a python script. I'm not sure if it's important, but I run the file with the python module subprocess. i.e.
subprocess.call("dir/file.bat", shell=True)

The .bat file creation is dependent on the user input during the python script execution, but generally it will contain ~30-40 lines of commands to run in cmd. All these lines of code are the exact same except for the input and output files for the command. For example:
start /wait metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText1.txt pradaxa1.out.txt
start /wait metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText2.txt pradaxa2.out.txt
start /wait metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText3.txt pradaxa3.out.txt

If I invoke metamap13 40 times simultaneously, my computer will crash because it is so memory-intensive. As you see, I have tried the
start /wait

combo so that the first line will finish before the second begins. Unfortunately, when the .bat file is executed, it opens a new window and once the program is finished running, the window does NOT close and therefore the second line does not begin until I manually close the new cmd window. The sheer amount of data that will be processed through this method means that I cannot always be available to close the hundreds of new windows. I have also tried the following:
start /wait /B metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText1.txt pradaxa1.out.txt

I thought the /B would remove the problem with having to close the window, but it still launches all 40 lines of code simultaneously. I think this has to do with the fact that calling metamap13 is considered a completed command and so it moves to the next line, even though metamap is actually still running. So I have thought of two possible solutions that I can't figure out how to implement:

*

*Automate the closing of the new cmd windows once metamap13 has finished running.

*Only run the next line once metamap13 has completed.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

A: The processes being launched in the metamap13 batch file are involved here too, but try this to start with:
call metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText1.txt pradaxa1.out.txt
call metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText2.txt pradaxa2.out.txt
call metamap13 -Aq pradaxaText3.txt pradaxa3.out.txt
