Il conclave del 1958 venne convocato a seguito della morte del papa Pio XII, avvenuta a Castel Gandolfo il 9 ottobre dello stesso anno. Si svolse alla Cappella Sistina dal 25 al 28 ottobre, e, dopo undici scrutini, elesse papa il cardinale Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, patriarca di Venezia, che assunse il nome di Giovanni XXIII. L'elezione venne annunciata dal cardinale protodiacono Nicola Canali.

Situazione generale

Benché negli ultimi anni le condizioni di salute di Pio XII apparissero precarie, la straordinaria personalità del pontefice non aveva permesso il formarsi di una linea alternativa alla sua visione monolitica della Chiesa. Il papa, inoltre, non creava nuovi cardinali dal concistoro del 12 gennaio 1953, con il risultato che importanti prelati quali l'arcivescovo di Milano Giovanni Battista Montini e il pro-segretario di Stato Domenico Tardini risultavano "di fatto" esclusi da una possibile successione.

L'orientamento generale della maggior parte del collegio cardinalizio, dopo il quasi ventennale pontificato di Pio XII, quindi, propendeva verso l'elezione di un papa anziano, di transizione. Questo orientamento ricorreva già da anni nei rapporti diplomatici che le ambasciate accreditate in Vaticano inviavano ai loro governi per tenerli aggiornati sugli orientamenti a proposito del nuovo papa.

Anche l'ambasciatore italiano Francesco Giorgio Mameli, in un rapporto del 1954 al Ministro degli affari esteri Attilio Piccioni, parlò della tendenza dei cardinali a orientarsi verso un porporato anziano per un papato di transizione. Tale rapporto indicava tre possibili papabili nei cardinali Alfredo Ottaviani, Giacomo Lercaro ed Ernesto Ruffini, con l'arcivescovo di Napoli Marcello Mimmi come possibile outsider. Qualora fosse prevalsa la preferenza per una personalità proveniente dalla diplomazia, il rapporto identificava nel patriarca di Venezia Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli e nel cardinale armeno di passaporto libanese Grégoire-Pierre Agagianian coloro che avrebbero riscosso i maggiori consensi.

Dal 1941, con la morte del cardinale Lorenzo Lauri, era rimasta vacante la carica di camerlengo, che avrebbe dovuto presiedere agli affari ordinari e curare l'organizzazione del conclave. Il giorno stesso della morte del pontefice, pertanto, i cardinali della curia elessero camerlengo Benedetto Aloisi Masella, arciprete di San Giovanni in Laterano e prefetto della congregazione per la disciplina dei sacramenti.

I cardinali, giunti a Roma, trovarono la città turbata da uno spiacevole episodio accaduto alla morte del papa. L'archiatra pontificio Riccardo Galeazzi Lisi, infatti, aveva fotografato il corpo nudo di Pio XII durante le procedure dell'imbalsamazione e venduto il tutto ai giornali, i quali pubblicarono anche un resoconto delle procedure stesse. Galeazzi Lisi tenne anche una conferenza stampa dove fornì i dettagli tecnici più crudi dell'imbalsamazione, fino a provocare reazioni di sdegno.

Prima del conclave venne avanzata la candidatura del "delfino" di Pio XII, il cardinale Giuseppe Siri. L'iniziativa sarebbe partita dai cardinali Ignazio Gabriele I Tappouni, Gaetano Cicognani e Benedetto Aloisi Masella. Secondo Cicognani, Siri sarebbe stato «l'unico candidato in grado di continuare il magistero di Pio XII». L'età di Siri, appena 52 anni, tuttavia, male si sarebbe conciliata alla prospettiva di un pontificato breve.

L'elezione alla carica di camerlengo del cardinale Aloisi Masella ebbe l'effetto di indirizzare una parte delle preferenze dei curiali in favore di quest'ultimo; un'altra parte sembrava propendere per Agagianian. Roncalli, invece, sembrava riscuotere i favori dei cardinali francesi che, comunque, erano solo sei, oltre al "decano" cardinale Tisserant.

Il cardinale Clemente Micara propose anche il nome dell'arcivescovo di Milano Giovanni Battista Montini (eletto poi nel conclave del 1963 con il nome di Paolo VI), benché non fosse ancora cardinale, ma forse più per una sorta di dimostrazione affettiva che per una reale intenzione di voto.

Nelle giornate immediatamente precedenti all'apertura del conclave Roncalli registrò nel diario un "gran movimento di farfalle" intorno alla sua persona, alludendo alle molteplici visite ricevute nel suo alloggio di Via Aurelia. Gli fece visita due volte l'anziano cardinale Dalla Costa di Firenze, comunicandogli il suo appoggio, insieme a quello del cardinale Maurilio Fossati; anche numerosi cardinali francesi dichiararono la disponibilità del loro gruppo a votarlo. Prima del conclave Roncalli ebbe colloqui personali anche con Tardini, Ottaviani e Masella.

Le votazioni
In totale c'erano 53 cardinali elettori, ma, a causa delle restrizioni imposte dai governi comunisti, al cardinale ungherese József Mindszenty e al croato Alojzije Viktor Stepinac non fu permesso recarsi a Roma per il conclave. Di conseguenza solo 51 cardinali parteciparono al conclave e il quorum per l'elezione a papa venne fissato a 35 voti. Roncalli fu l'ultimo a entrare in conclave, prima dell'extra omnes.

Le votazioni iniziarono il 25 ottobre 1958 con le candidature principali di Roncalli e Agagianian, fiancheggiate da quelle di Aloisi Masella, Ruffini ed altri, quanto meno nei primi turni. Per Roncalli ci sarebbero stati inizialmente una ventina di voti, diciotto per Agagianian, quattro per Lercaro, due a Montini e altri a Valeri. I due candidati principali erano stati scelti per le loro qualità diplomatiche, piuttosto che per l'età avanzata, essendoci, in conclave, ben 19 cardinali più anziani di Roncalli (77 anni), mentre Agagianian era uno dei più giovani (63 anni).

Nelle prime votazioni i nomi di Roncalli e di Agagianian si sarebbero alternati in testa alle preferenze dei cardinali, come raccontò il 1º febbraio 1959 lo stesso Roncalli, ormai divenuto papa Giovanni XXIII, in un discorso al collegio armeno di Roma: «Sapete che il vostro cardinale e io eravamo come appaiati nel conclave dello scorso ottobre? I nostri nomi si avvicendavano or su, or giù, come i ceci nell'acqua bollente».

Al settimo scrutinio, la mattina del 27 ottobre, su proposta del cardinale decano Eugène Tisserant, avrebbe preso corpo la candidatura Aloisi Masella (79 anni; due più di Roncalli) che avrebbe raggiunto circa diciotto voti, senza intaccare il pacchetto dei voti di Agagianian; quello di Roncalli, invece, dovette leggermente contrarsi, pur restando consistente. Già in serata, però, i consensi di Masella si sarebbero erosi, scendendo a circa dieci.

Agagianian e Masella, secondo il vaticanista Giancarlo Zizola, sarebbero stati i candidati dell'area curiale, molto vicina al raggiungimento del quorum, qualora avesse trovato una candidatura comune. Al nono-decimo scrutinio, tuttavia, sarebbero scesi intorno alla decina anche i voti in favore di Agagianian, con un progressivo smottamento a favore di Roncalli, che sarebbe tornato in testa con trentuno-trentadue voti.

Tra la sera del 27 ottobre e la pausa pranzo del giorno successivo, i cardinali avrebbero raggiunto l'intesa su Roncalli. Sembra che il cardinale Micara, nella Sala Regia, intorno a mezzogiorno, avrebbe declamato a voce alta, data la sua sordità: «È fatta. Stasera avremo Roncalli papa». Nel pomeriggio del 28 ottobre, infatti, all'undicesimo scrutinio, con trentasei o trentotto voti, il patriarca di Venezia superò il quorum necessario e fu eletto al soglio pontificio.

Home News Henson takes up leadership of ExxonMobil frontier operations in Guyana
Henson takes up leadership of ExxonMobil frontier operations in Guyana
Rod Henson, ExxonMobil Country Manager in Guyana
ExxonMobil's newly installed Country Manager in Guyana, Rod Henson, will be looking to continue the stretch of good fortune seen by the company over the last 2 years, offshore the South American country. Exxon made the biggest oil discovery of 2015, offshore Guyana, followed by two additional finds in 2017.
Mr. Henson officially took up the mantle of leadership from Jeff Simons on May 1 of this year.
After earning a degree in Petroleum Engineering with honors from Marietta College he began his career with Mobil in West Texas. Throughout his 28-year career with Mobil, ExxonMobil, and XTO Energy, Mr. Henson has worked in southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and South America. He has held various technical, operational, and leadership positions; working most recently to set up XTO Energy's Argentina Division. XTO is a subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
Mr. Henson comes at a time when the company is fast-tracking development operations in Guyana, in preparation for first oil, due in mid-2020. Exploration work also continues offshore, where, if the current trend continues, additional oil discoveries could well be made.
Several experts have told OilNOW more discoveries are likely, with one consultant declaring it is almost certain, since "elephants don't travel alone," referring to the first significant discovery at Liza-1.
In May 2015, ExxonMobil's affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd reported an oil discovery on the Stabroek block 120 miles offshore Guyana at its Liza-1 appraisal well. The company said the "world-class discovery" could yield the equivalent of 800 million to 1.4 billion barrels of crude. In January 2017, the company then encountered more than 95 ft of oil-bearing sandstone in its Payara-1 well, which was drilled about 10 miles northwest of the Liza-1 discovery. Then in March 2017, 82 ft of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs was encountered while drilling the Snoek well, also on the Stabroek block.
Taken altogether, it is believed the combined discoveries could amount to as much as 2 billion barrels of light crude.

Q: Failed to load c++ bson extension A total node noob here. I've been trying to set up a sample node app but the following error keeps popping up every time I try to run:

node app

Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

    at net.js:830:16
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:415:13)

A: So in my case, I first tried to check under this directory /node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/, just to confirm that I have the bson module.
I figured out that I did not have it in the first place, then I just run
npm install bson
and then
npm update
All got sorted.Tried and tested in Ubuntu.

A: just wanted to say I also had the error
Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

But with none of the other errors. I tried everything and turns out the mongodb drivers that I was specifying in the package.json file was incompatible with my version of MongoDB. I changed it to my latest version which was (1.4.34) and it worked!!!

A: sudo npm rebuild was what fixed it for me.

A: I finally corrected this error by updating my mongodb dependency version to ~2.0.36 in package.json.
 "dependencies": {
    "consolidate": "~0.9.1",
    "express": "3.x",
    "mongodb": "~2.0.36",
    "mongoose": "^4.1.12"
  }

A: Unfortunately, All the above answers are only half right..
Took a long time to figure this out..
Mongoose bson install via npm throws warning and causes the error...
npm install -g node-gyp

git clone https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson.git
cd js-bson
npm install
node-gyp rebuild

This works like magic!!

A: For me it only take to run these commands in my api directory:
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

A: I just ran:
sudo npm install bson

and
sudo npm update

and all become ok.

A: I have sorted the issue of getting the "Failed to load c++ bson extension" on raspbian(debian for raspberry) by:
npm install -g node-gyp

and then
npm update

A: The bson extension message is just a warning, I get it all the time in my nodejs application.
Things to check:

*

*MongoDB instance: Do you have a MongoDB instance running?

*Config: Did you correctly configure Mongoose to your MongoDB instance? I suspect your config is wrong, because the error message spits out a very weird string for your mongodb server host name..

A: I fixed it by changing line 10 of:
/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/ext/index.js

from:
bson = require('../build/Release/bson');

to:
bson = require('bson');

A: I fixed this problem on CentOS by

*

*sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

*sudo npm install -g node-gyp

*rm -r node_modules

*npm cache clean

*npm install

A: I was unable to solve this
until now. First of all you have to have system packages mentioned by Pradeep Mahdevu. Those are:
xcode-select --install (on a mac)

or
sudo apt-get install gcc make build-essential (on ubuntu)

Then I've installed node-gyp
npm install -g node-gyp

like datadracer said but npm update also suggested by him is risky. It update all modules, which can be dangerous (sometimes API changes between versions).
I suggest going into node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson directory and from there use
node-gyp rebuild

That solved the problem for me.

A: I guess you did not have the make tools available when you installed your mongodb library. I suggest you do
xcode-select --install (on a mac)
or sudo apt-get install gcc make build-essential (on ubuntu)
and run
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

OR just npm update based on @tobias comment (after installing build-essential)
npm update

A: A common problem is that node-gyp requires Python 2.x and if your system's python points to 3.x, it will fail to compile bson, without warning. You can fix this by setting a python global key in your npm config that points to the 2.x executable on your system. For example, on Arch Linux:
npm config -g set python "/usr/bin/python2"

A: I also got this problem and it caused my sessions not to work. But not to break either...
I used a mongoose connection.
I had this:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var express = require('express');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var expressSession = require('express-session');
var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(expressSession);
...
var app = express();
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 8080);
app.use(bodyParser);
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/TEST');
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function callback () {
  console.log('MongoDB connected');
});

app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(expressSession({
  secret: 'mysecret',
  cookie: {
    maxAge: null,
    expires: moment().utc().add('days',10).toDate(),// 10 dagen
  },
  store: new MongoStore({
  db: 'TEST',
  collection: 'sessions',
}),

Very straightforward. But req.session stayed always empty.
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

Did the trick. Watch out you dont have a 'mongodb' in your package.json! Just Mongoose and connect-mongo.

A: Here's how I fixed the problem on Ubuntu:

*

*ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

*npm install node-gyp

*cd node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson

*node-gyp rebuild
Inspired by @mbochynski answer, but I had to create a symbolic link first, otherwise the rebuild failed.

A: i was having same trouble tried so many options but in the last npm intall in my mean app folder worked.

A: I had this problem because I was including the node_modules folder in my Git repository. When I rebuilt the node_modules on the other system it worked. One of them was running Linux, the other OS X. Maybe they had different processor architectures as well.

A: On WIN 8.1
It seems I used a wrong version of mongoose in my package.json file.
I removed the line "mongoose" : "^3.8.15" from package.json.
CLI:
npm install mongoose --save

Now it says "mongoose": "^4.0.6" in package.json and the error I had is gone.

A: I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and to fix it for me I had to create a symlink for node to point to nodejs as described here:
nodejs vs node on ubuntu 12.04
Once I did that I re-ran these commands:
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

A: I just resolved that.
When you install the mongoose module by npm, it does not have a built bson module in it's folder. In the file node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/ext/index.js, change the line
bson = require('../build/Release/bson');

to
bson = require('bson');

and then install the bson module using npm.

A: I had the same problem on my EC2 instance.  I think the initial cause was because I had a Node instance running when I installed Mongo.  I stopped the Node service and then ran
sudo npm update

inside of the top level folder of my node project.  This fixed the problem and everything was just like new

A: I was trying to run node on virtual machine (vagrant) shared folder. That was a problem. My host machine is Windows, installed node on Windows and worked like a charm. So if you are using virtual machine, just try to run node server on host machine.

A: I just had the same problem and literally nothing worked for me. The error was showing kerberos is causing the problem and it was one of the mongoose dependencies. Since I'm on Ubuntu, I thought there might be permission issues somewhere between the globally installed packages -- in /usr/lib/node_modules via sudo, and those which are on the user space.
I installed mongoose globally -- with sudo of course, and everything began working as expected.
P.S. The kerberos package now also is installed globally next to mongoose, however I can't remember if I did it deliberately -- while I was trying to solve the problem, or if it was there from the beginning.

A: I'm working on Docker with centOS 7, and encountered the same problem.
after looking around, and make several tries, I fixed this problem by installing mongodb, and mongodb-server
yum install mongodb mongodb-server

I don't think this is the best way to produce the minimal container. but I can limit the scope into the following packages

https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson/issues/58#issuecomment-68217275
http://christiankvalheim.com/post/diagnose_installation_problems/

A: I was able to resolve by uninstalling and reinstalling monk package.
Initial install seemingly had a corrupt mongodb/bson dependency.

A: On ubuntu 14.04 I needed to create a link in /usr/bin because /usr/bin/env was looking for /usr/bin/node.
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

The error messages can be found in the builderror.log in each directory so for the message:

bson@0.2.21 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/mongodb-core/node_modules/bson
  (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

look at this file for more information about the exact problem:

A: The only thing which helps me on Windows 7 (x64): https://stackoverflow.com/a/29714359/2670121
Reinstall node and python with x32 versions.
I spent a lot of time with this error:

Failed to load c++ bson extension

and finally, when I installed module node-gyp (for building native addons) and even installed windows SDK with visual studio - nodejs didn't recognize assembled module bson.node as a module. After reinstalling the problem is gone.
Again, What does this error mean?
Actually, it's even not error. You still can use mongoose. But in this case, instead of fast native realization of bson module, you got js-realization, which is slower.
I saw many tips like: "edit path deep inside node_modules..." - which is totally useless, because it does not solve the problem, but just turned off the error messages.

A: For my case, I npm install all modules on my local machine (Mac), and I did not include node_modules in .gitignore and uploaded to github. Then I cloned the project to my aws, as you know, it is running Linux, so I got the errors. What I did is just include node_modules in .gitignore, and use npm install in my aws instance, then it works.

A: In our case, the reason that the c++ version bson was not found was because we were behind a corporate proxy and something in the BSON build process needs to reach out to fetch files. When we looked in node_modules/bson/builderror.log, we saw an error like this:
gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
gyp ERR! stack     at errnoException (net.js:904:11)
gyp ERR! stack     at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:895:19)

Which suggested that the proxy might be the issue. Setting the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables solved it.

A: Followint @user1548357 I decided to change the module file itself. So as to avoid the problems pointed out by the valid comments below I included my changes in a postinstall script so that I can set it and forget it and be assured that it will run when my modules are installed.
// package.json
"scripts": {
    // other scripts
    "postinstall": "node ./bson.fix.js"
},

and the script is:
// bson.fix.js
var fs = require('fs');
var file = './node_modules/bson/ext/index.js'
fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', function (err,data) {
  if (err) {
    return console.log(err);
  }
  var result = data.replace(/\.\.\/build\/Release\/bson/g, 'bson');
  fs.writeFile(file, result, 'utf8', function (err) {
     if (err) return console.log(err);
     console.log('Fixed bson module so as to use JS version');
  });
});

A: easily kick out the problem by just add this line both try and catch block
path: node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/ext/index.js
bson = require('bson');  instead

bson = require('./win32/ia32/bson');
bson = require('../build/Release/bson');

That is all!!!

A: If the bson extension wasn't the reason, I guessed the other reason for "failed to connect" would be the user id's. So I created a new database and added a user for the database, with a password for that user (note: not mongolab account password).
I updated those on my code and voila! It worked. Duh right? :D

A: I also encountered the same problem and I'm a Mac OSX user. Basically, you need to make sure you have installed the Xcode and also the "Command Line Tools" within the Xcode.
Xcode is free and can be downloaded over here:
https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/
After you have installed the Xcode, open it and click "Preference" in the pull down menu, and click the "Downloads" icon. Make sure you have the "Command Line Tools" installed.
Then run the following commands like all the other users mentioned above:
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

SDB and its implementation arm, SDA, being an autonomous agency, has been in the unique position to facilitate changes in the field of integrated development on the basis of the need of the area. This section contributes to the understanding of the role played by SDB and SDA in the implementation process.
SDA Mandate
SDA was set up in the month of March 1993 as a Society with head quarters at Ambala. On its inception in 1993, SDA's main aims and objectives as stated in its Memorandum of Association (MOA) were:
To undertake special comprehensive surveys for all round development of Shivalik area on the basis of techno-economic and other detailed surveys.
To formulate specific schemes to raise the standard of living of people in general and identified beneficiaries in particular.
To undertake area development schemes inter-alia for further strengthening the infrastructural facilities in the area necessary for achieving the goal set by the agency.
To review the progress of the schemes undertaken by the agency and all other ongoing schemes/ programmes being implemented by the state and central government and other institutions so as to dovetail them with special schemes undertaken by the agency.
For executing its programmes, the agency may act either directly or, through other sources including voluntary organisations decided by the agency.
To obtain the above aims, the agency may
Give such assistance to identified beneficiaries and institutions engaged in executing specific individual / area based plans in the area furthering the purpose of the plans and schemes undertaken or supported by the agency
Make necessary organisational arrangements directly or through other sources for implementation of the scheme approved by Shivalik Development Board / State Government
Draw, accept, make, endorse, discount and negotiate with Shivalik Development Board / State Government / Government of India and others, cheques or other negotiable instruments.
Invest the funds or the money entrusted to the agency upon such security or in any manner, as may, from time to time be determined by the Governing Body, and from time to time to sell or transfer such instruments.
Purchase, take on lease, accept as gift, construct or otherwise acquire any loan or property wherever suitable which may be necessary or useful for the agency.
Decide and recommend or impose necessary corrective/ panel measures for meaningful utilisation of grants/ funds, services/ properties of the agency by the individual beneficiaries or the institution engaged in implementing the programme sponsored, supported, adopted and monitored by the agency.
Do all other such things hitherto not mentioned, as may be considered necessary by the agency, which may be incidental or conducive to the attainment of the objectives.
From SDA's stated mandate, it is evident that the organisation was set up with a vision that would work for the development of the deprived area of Shivalik region. It also shows that that Government of Haryana had the vision to work for its most deprived region and bring the people at par with others within the State.

A spectator died during the second round of the U.S. Open in Wisconsin, the United States Golf Association announced Friday afternoon.
"The USGA was saddened to learn that a spectator at Erin Hills passed away a short time ago," according to a statement. "Out of respect for the family, we are unable to provide additional information at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with those surrounding this individual during this difficult time."
An elderly man died of "natural causes" on the course, according to WITI-TV, a local Fox affiliate.
This comes on the heels of a blimp catching fire and crashing down above the tournament on Thursday, and traces of E. coli being found in the drinking water at a hydration station near the 12th hole at the Erin Hills golf course earlier Friday.

UPDATED: O'Toole tests positive for COVID-19
Conservative leader calls for more testing methods
Posted on September 19, 2020 by oshawaexpress in COVID-19, FEDERAL, NEWS
Durham MP Erin O'Toole, leader of Canada's Conservative Party, has tested positive for COVID-19.
O'Toole's wife and children have tested negative, according to a statement.
"He remains in self-isolation and is feeling well," the statement reads.
O'Toole and his family were tested for COVID-19 on Wednesday after a member of his staff tested positive for the virus.
Original story posted: Sept 17, 2020
O'Toole and family tested for COVID-19
Durham MP Erin O'Toole, leader of Canada's Conservative Party, and his family have been tested for COVID-19, and he is frustrated with the lack of testing options.
On Wednesday morning, O'Toole took his family to an assessment centre in the Ottawa Public Health Unit. After waiting for hours in line, the O'Toole family was turned away because the centre had reached capacity. Over the course of the afternoon, the O'Toole family contacted Ottawa Public Health to determine which area facility still had availability and an appointment for testing on Friday was offered.
The House of Commons makes testing available for MPs and their families in Gatineau and were able to accommodate the O'Toole family for testing.
O'Toole and his family were informed they needed to be tested for COVID-19 after a member of the Conservative leader's staff tested positive for the virus.
While waiting in line to be tested, O'Toole says he was struck by how many families were waiting in line with him.
"Children are being sent home from school to get tested, and it is hard for moms and dads to keep them calm. The test itself is unpleasant for an adult, but it's worse as a parent to watch your young child take the test," he says. "The Trudeau Liberals have created this mess by refusing to approve other testing methods – despite all our allies having, for months, multiple tests including much faster and less invasive methods. I stand with the thousands of Canadian families who are waiting in lines today for tests. It has been seven months, Justin Trudeau must answer for why we do not have access to more of the tests our allies are using."
O'Toole and his family are continuing to self-isolate until they receive the results of their tests.

We envy people with fast metabolisms. You know those people that stay slim despite eating whatever they want? It is because they have a faster metabolic rate than most of us and they burn more fuel (calories) not only when they are being active but when they are sitting at their desks or resting on the couch.
If you have become overweight if might be because you have not been blessed with a naturally high metabolic rate, but don't worry there is plenty you can do to increase your metabolism.
As the amount of toned muscle tissue is the biggest factor in the speed of your metabolic motor proper strengthening exercise is the single most effective way to increase your metabolism. Toned muscle tissue is highly active and requires a high amount of calories to maintain.
Even a small increase in muscle tone has incredible muscle-boosting effects. In fact you can literally strength train yourself slim again just by working your muscles directly with proper strength training exercise just 2-3 times each week. Of course you would need to put some effort into each session if you wish to boost your metabolism, it will not come from little pink weights and low intensity (degree of effort).
We used to believe that cardio activities like jogging, walking or cycling burn lots of calories and they do burn some when you are doing them. But you might be surprised at how little they do burn and these types of activity have little to no after-burn effects and that is what you need to increase your metabolism and to lose excess fat weight.
The modern way to lose excess body fat is to burn more calories than you eat each day. The old fashioned way was to eat less calories than you burn each day. Well 40 years later we know this does not work. When you slash calories the human body goes into lock-down mode when millions of years of evolutionary adaption kick in and hold on to every scrap of fat thinking it is about to starve. It slows the metabolism which is the exact opposite of what we need to lose fat and that is we need to increase your metabolism.
The other important factor when you are looking to increase your metabolism is to eat small protein rich meals every 2-4 hours throughout the day. These small meals will stop you becoming too hungry and help you stay on a healthy eating plan and you will also have a double banger approach to help increase your metabolism and lose at the fat weight you want.

IBM Looks to Disrupt Scientific Research on the Blockchain
The use cases for distributed ledger technology are on the rise, as evidenced by IBM's most recent patent application for open scientific research on the blockchain.
The tech giant envisions a system in which a blockchain represents an experiment with individual blocks comprised of project components including research data, data analysis and results as well as post-data analysis and more all with block-linking capabilities to reflect the status of modifications. The patent, which was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at year-end 2017, comes on the heels of a separate blockchain patent filed by IBM with an augmented reality and gaming focus.
Source: U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
The scientific research community has been plagued with a lack of transparency for data collection tied to the analysis process, in response to which the blockchain is a possible antidote. Chief among the issues is a lack of "trustworthy data" and protecting information from unauthorized modifications, all of which the blockchain solves with features like immutability and data security.
IBM isn't the only entity that is looking to disrupt this process amid what has been described as a "reproducibility crisis in research" and falsified data. But until now, other solutions involving the blockchain have fallen short in addressing key points surrounding confidentiality, accessibility, the use of algorithms for tasks such as "automatic correction" and more, all of which IBM takes on in its patent application. The company also points to "limited platforms that allow for sharing information about scientific research and showing transparent data collection and analysis steps," which interferes with researchers getting credit for the work they've performed.
Nimble Solution
IBM's solution involves a nimble computing environment for experiments on the blockchain, one that relies heavily on but is not limited to a cloud computing model in which data uploaded to public databases can be tracked. They describe a blockchain system that is two-pronged, comprised of both "the trustworthiness of the blockchain concept with open scientific research." Their technology accomplishes this by putting scientific experiments on the blockchain, including "data collected, analysis performed and/or results achieved and in doing so bolsters the "trustworthiness and reproducibility of the data and results" amid the immutable nature of the blockchain.
IBM describes a "first block of research data and a second block of analysis data representing a log of an analysis performed on the research data." The technology isn't for static information as the data can also be analyzed for the "reliability and provenance" of the information.
Overall, the technology is designed to accelerate the scientific research process, giving the research community more tools to collect, analyze, draw conclusions and make corrections on their work, a process that also spills into peer reviews, replicating experiments and evaluating the relevance of data all with the benefit of data security that is inherent with the blockchain.


WASHINGTON — Federal workers continue to feel the impact of the partial government shutdown, and those who depend on their service are also taking a hit.
Luke Cho, a student at George Mason University majoring in Russian Studies, is an Uber driver in Fairfax County. Driving for Uber during the evening rush has helped Cho pay the bills.
"Before the shutdown, we were seeing high demand all across the District," said Cho.
But lately, he's been feeling the impact of the shutdown. "The riders just started disappearing and the calls just stopped coming," said Cho.
Instead of making around $100-$120 a night, he's now making half of that, if he's lucky.
Cho is now trying to figure out his next move, and said he may have to find a part-time job to help get him through school. "I'm trying to fund my own education, and my money-making ability has been cut in half. I have tuition for this semester, but this is the month, I was supposed to make a lot of money, winter break," said Cho.
Cho says he knows the impact is even greater for his friends who work for the government, so he's hoping everyone is able to get back to work soon.
"I definitely feel for all the federal employees. It's a little frustrating but trying to see the positives. At least we're still getting some customers," said Cho.

Drawing on an expanse of influences and materials, Browne's painted works describe obscure imaginative spaces, which simultaneously appear to adhere to the rules of gravity and perspective whilst outwardly ignoring them. Boxes, shadows, screens and girders mingle with drips, floating transparent forms and abstract geometric shapes. Her works appear to occupy multiple planes and visual languages, resulting in a complex network of forms that flip between object and image.
Browne harnesses her mediums flexibility (and sometimes unpredictability) to approach her practice with a playfulness, curiosity and acceptance of failure. Her recent works have a fragmented and imposing presence, encouraging connections with their surroundings and inviting viewers to take time to explore.
Underlying Browne's research is a notion that physical experiences take place in collaboration with a network of secondary and imaginative sources resulting in an intoxicating, partly fictional, reality. Phenomenological experience meets imaginative thought; language and fantasy mingle with memory – especially that of photography and film. Her works seem to perform this intermingling through their creation - realised over a period of time without a planned outcome, her works are able to reflect the physical location of their production and/or exhibition as well as reflecting thoughts and influences gained over the time of their creation.
Recent sources include Stephen Hawking's BBC Radio 4 Reith lectures on black holes (2016), Botticelli's illustrations of Dante's 'Inferno' (~1480-90), Stéphane Mallarmé's poem 'A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance' (1897), and Jon Krakauer's account of the 1996 Everest disaster in 'Into Thin Air' (1997). Themes of impending disaster and chaos meet with consecutive layers of colour, wall anchor motifs, mock computer graphics and drawings of navigational cairns. Browne leads us through uncertain, shifting locations with her tour-guide parasol aloft, encouraging us to explore her works' alluring depths without losing site of their enduring surfaces.
I like to stress the importance of curiosity when presenting my work, being open to influence and change is key. I think of my process as a journey through a labyrinth – something I keep moving through, despite not knowing the structure and size of the tangle of paths. Sometimes you end up covering old ground and reach dead ends but its all part of the game, there's no point in getting frustrated by it.
Why you choose painting as your principal media of expression?
Paint is such a flexible tool, easily open to changes in scale and surface. I don't think I will ever get tired of learning about it. I guess it was also painting that first piqued my interest in art, and it remains an accessible and communicable medium with a vast history. Seeing the painted murals in ancient Pompeii was an incredible reminder of how fundamentally paint can influence and react to architecture and environment. I would soon like to visit the Church of San Francesco in Arezzo to see Piero della Francesca's famous 'The History of the True Cross' fresco's, a great example of paintings' ability to communicate without the need for literacy. Artists who chose to work with paint take on the burden/gift of this history but have the opportunity to react to their own epoch with the same simple tools – this can be paralysing or liberating depending on how brave you feel.
Searching material about you for this interview I found this quote "painting as the art form most akin to a collaboration with rather than a mastery of medium", could you go deeper and explain me this thinking?
What I was getting at in that quote is that is that I find it productive to allow myself to welcome unexpected results, rather than be annoyed that it was not what I anticipated. Paint has its own characteristics; it wants to drip and splash and bleed and I think that's all good! I'm not really into 'mastery', I think that kind of perceived control might blind me from new ways of working, so we're in it together: collaborators. Sometimes it looks ugly, and that's ok with me.
The importance of colors, for your work and in your everyday life?
Colour is very important – it is usually the first decision made about any work and this decision seems to creep over into my clothes choices (which is often pointed out to me). What is crazy is that I've taught myself to think in colours that I can afford to buy, though having a limiting factor does at least mean its easier to choose. There are so many out there, it's overwhelming. I love greens right now. I also often get rid of colour all together and work in black and white.
At the moment I make my work in a studio in Bow, East London, which is also the area where I live. I was awarded a one-year free tenancy at the studio, which is great, though it's not a space I would have naturally chosen. My previous studio was in Hackney Wick, which overlooked the construction of the 2012 Olympic Stadium, which I loved. I want to make sure my next studio has a good view, there's always so much building going on in London.
My canvas stretching pliers. So much time is spent preparing canvases, I couldn't cope without these.
I don't believe in making wishes.
In a fantasy scenario, Dia:Beacon or Inverleith House, in the grounds of Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden, though it is sadly being closed down unless someone comes to its financial aid.
I don't have an uncontrollable 'need' to express, but I want to be able to continue the work I do, research, meet people and start new dialogues, which all requires funding. I very much admire collectors who support emerging artists, its getting harder and harder for artists to keep a studio practice whilst shouldering immense student debt.
I don't really imagine hypothetical scenario's like that, its best to say what you want to say rather than wait to be asked.
For my recent exhibition 'Forecast' at Limoncello in London I made a series of floor pieces called 'The Shape of Things to Come' which is named after H.G. Wells sci-fi book of predictions for the future, written in 1933. They are made out of grey-scale digital vinyl prints on lasercut Perspex. It was important to me to activate the floor space with something that used a different visual language to the paintings, but still worked with a sense of spatial confusion.
The photo's are of small, non-descript objects I made, that have been digitally enhanced and enlarged to look more 3D. They are mounted onto Perspex which has been laser cut to the size of the image and scattered around the gallery floor, some propped up at angles. I wanted them to appear as though part of a cleromancy ritual, in which lots are cast onto a surface in order to be interpreted as a reading of the future. This work was a significant step for me as it required a completely new, and very pre-planned way of working that I hadn't used before.
Satin Island by Tom McCarthy and Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures and Conversations edited by C. Coolidge.
Most recently watched The Ides of March directed by George Clooney as a warm up to the US election furore. In terms of favourites, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou by Wes Anderson is a perfect film. I've been meaning to re-watch Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick, it's a masterpiece.
Somewhere near mountains and with an open-minded population. Scotland looks pretty good right now.
There are artists I appreciate & reference for lots of different reasons, so to mix a few up I would say Max Beckmann, Prunella Clough, Richard Serra, Jeff Wall, Mary Heilmann, Donald Judd, Richard Hamilton, Mark Leckey, Thomas Houseago, Phyllida Barlow, Tacita Dean, Tal R…it's impossible to know where to stop! I've not really worked collaboratively before but I'd like to give it a try sometime.
Maybe a huge outdoor mural, though I think it would be really hard.
I can't really imagine doing another job.
Some great artists, working in lots of different media.
Yes for sure, though it would be odd to choose one.
I crash cars a lot in my dreams.

More Farmers Join Rice Lawsuit
The number of rice farmers in a lawsuit that claims RiceTec Inc. sold hybrid seed that produced inferior rice has grown to 51 with the addition of farmers in Louisiana and Texas.
CHUCK BARTELS,AP Business Writer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The number of rice farmers in a lawsuit that claims RiceTec Inc. sold hybrid seed that produced inferior rice has grown to 51 with the addition of farmers in Louisiana and Texas.
Court papers filed July 26 show 11 farmers from Louisiana and seven from Texas have joined the suit in Greene County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit, filed by lead attorney Clayton Smaistrla of San Antonio, claims that hybrid seed sold by Alvin, Texas-based RiceTec produced inferior long-grain rice that doesn't mill as well as non-hybrid long-grain rice and failed to produce promised yields.
"The rice itself is defective and hurting U.S. rice exports,".Smaistrla spokeswoman Teresa Kelly said Thursday in an email.
RiceTec President and CEO John Nelsen said in a statement that the company will fight the claims in court.
"RiceTec Inc. has been developing hybrid rice seed for commercial production for more than 20 years. We are a company built on innovation and grounded in scientific research and fact. Because of this, RiceTec has earned its position as the leading supplier of rice seed to American farmers," Nelson said.
"We strongly disagree with the allegations in the lawsuit and will vigorously defend RiceTec's products," he said.
The lawsuit is a countersuit from a court action filed by RiceTec against rice farmer Scott Meredith of Delaplaine, Ark. RiceTec sued Meredith for nonpayment after he refused to settle his bill for RiceTec hybrid seed with which he was dissatisfied.
The farmers complain that the RiceTec hybrid grows with less bran around the kernel and it doesn't mill as well as non-hybrid long-grain rice. The farmers claim that the RiceTec varieties chip and don't cook as well, leading to less demand and lower prices. They claim that the problem is so consistent that it is hurting exports.
Nelsen said RiceTec provides farmers with a strong product.
"We believe in both our products and our people, and we value our customers and their success. That is why we continue to provide them with industry-leading products and first-class service," Nelsen said.

My Top Ten Beach Boys Albums
By Zachary Williams / 6 January 2011
The Beach Boys are my favorite band. I still can't seem to give up the idea that the Beatles were the "greatest". They never released a bad album, and were the prototype for all rock bands to follow. The Beatles were elite for a longer stretch of albums, but at his peak Brian Wilson topped them. The shining star of pop, Wilson achieved the highest levels possible in the realm of popular music. He wrote, arranged, and produced. The Beatles + George Martin wrapped into one. All following pop composers are compared to the incomparable standard of Brian Wilson, the true pop genius. Here's my top ten Beach Boys LPs.
1. Pet Sounds (1966)
The single most important piece of art in my life. The greatest album ever, and it's no contest. The worst song on this album would be the best song on 99% of other albums. It maintains its thematic center throughout, one which has touched me so consistently: youthful, romantic ideals confronted with the harsh realities of life. The bittersweet image of naive and innocent purity's impending tarnishing. When I think of the album as an art form, I think of Pet Sounds. The consistency of its quality, the connected lyrical theme throughout, and the personal bond it shares with me makes Pet Sounds the perfect album.
2. Friends (1968)
Released at the height of hippie excess, this masterpiece went unnoticed. Bizarrely though, this album, while extremely pleasant and nonabrasive, is more psychedelic than anything David Crosby ever penned. I dare you to smoke some dro and not dig the hell out of the laid-back mellow grooves of Friends. Brian's songs are uniformly remarkable: "Friends", "Busy Doin' Nothing" ,and the song I want played as I ascend to the pearly gates, "Passing By". But the real marvel of Friends is the emergence of Dennis Wilson as a legitimate songwriter. "Little Bird" established the unlikely Denny (through some form of osmosis from his genius brother) as the songwriter who allowed the Beach Boys to continue at their high standards post-Brian at the helm.
3. Today! (1965)
Although Summer Days preceded Pet Sounds chronologically, Today! is its true creative precursor. The second side of this record is the perfect bridge to Pet Sounds. Featuring "Please Let Me Wonder", "Kiss Me, Baby", "She Knows Me Too Well", and "In the Back of My Mind", side two is a stunning display of the increasing mastery Brian was attaining. With Today!, Brian showed he was moving beyond the beach- and car-based early hits, and gave hints of where he was going. The first side is no slouch either as "Good to My Baby", "Dance Dance Dance", and "When I Grow Up to Be a Man" are all top notch. I particularly love Dennis' vocals on "Do You Wanna Dance" ,which tops the original.
4. Wild Honey (1967)
After the dissolution of SMiLE (Which would be the second greatest album of all time had it been released) and the letdown known as Smiley Smile (which some people actually list as a favorite), the Beach Boys needed a quick fix. They delivered with an injection of soul into their classic formula. Predating Dylan and the Band's return to the roots, they stripped the increasing orchestration of previous work and released this lost gem. "Aren't You Glad", "Let The Wind Blow", and "I'd Love Just Once to See You" are phenomenal, but the show stopper is "Darlin'", a song in the conversation for greatest pop single, remarkably not a huge hit. Carl's vox dominate this album. His ragged blue eyed soul really puts it over the top.
5. Love You (1977)
When I first heard this album I thought it was a mistake. Surely this wasn't the Beach Boys giving me gravely out-of-tune vocals, insipid lyrics, and an insidious synth bass throughout. But after a few listens it started to charm the hell out of me. Past the bizarre lyrics and production laid Brian's most musically accomplished set in a decade. "The Night Was So Young" belongs up there with anything he wrote in the '70s. "Let's Put Our Hearts Together", "Let Us Go on This Way", and "Airplane" are a true return to form. Dennis gargles razor blades to wonderful effect on "Mona", "I'll Bet He's Nice", and "I Wanna Pick You Up".
6. Sunflower (1970)
A lot of Beach Boys poseurs reach for this album as the best behind Pet Sounds. It is a phenomenal record no doubt, but I don't really get the fervor when it's compared to something like Friends or Wild Honey. "Add Some Music", "Tears in the Morning", and "At My Window" are too saccharine and "Cool Cool Water" is a SMiLE leftover (and just as every other I prefer the original). But onto the masterpieces: "All I Wanna Do" is a perfect song. "This Whole World" rules and Dennis continues to shine with "Slip on Through", "Got to Know the Woman", and "Forever". Even with an ever-reclusive Brian, the boys somehow managed to maintain standards.
7. Surf's Up (1971)
Carl steals the show here. "Long Promised Road" and "Feel Flows" are his greatest songwriting contributions, with the latter being one of the band's best songs. "Student Demonstration Time" is simply embarrassing. Jardine's songs are slight. The showstopping Brian penned trilogy, along with Carl's songs, are where this album earns its status. Again, I tend to feel weird listening to SMiLE songs outside its original context. So for that illogical reason I don't inflate my opinion of an album for having a SMiLE classic, such as "Surf's Up". "A Day in the Life of a Tree" is really beautiful, though maligned by some. "'Til I Die" is possibly the most sublime rumination on life and death.
8. Holland (1973)
The first album here that isn't five-star classic status. The addition of the two South Africans really bothers me for some reason. Just dropping strangers into a musical institution doesn't seem kosher. The lone remnants of Brian are two of the best songs: "Sail on, Sailor" and "Funky Pretty." Mike Love miraculously penned the serene "Big Sur", amidst the sometimes embarrassing California Saga ("The Beaks of Eagles", I'm looking at you). Dennis' "Only with You" is gorgeous, although I prefer his solo version. The best song on the album, however, is Carl's tour de force known as "The Trader".
9. Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (1965)
A somewhat slight album, stuck between the majesty of Today! and Pet Sounds. Nevertheless, Summer Days contains some impressive work. "Let Him Run Wild", "You're So Good to Me", and "Girl Don't Tell Me" are some of the best non single album cuts of the earlier days. "Summer Means New Love" is the earliest of Brian's classic instrumentals. And hey, it's got one of the finest pop singles of all time on it in "California Girls".
10. 20/20 (1969)
As high as it is (yes the tenth best Beach Boys album is a prestigious honor) on the strength of the back-to-the-basics single "Do It Again", featuring Mike Love at his most nasal, 20/20 also features two gorgeous pleasantries: "I Went to Sleep" and "Time to Get Alone". Both written in 3/4 waltz time, these songs define the Beach Boys to me. Gorgeously low-key, these classics arrive for a minute only to leave you wanting more.

Cannabis Use In Pro Wrestling: A Modern Solution To An Age-Old Problem
The professional wrestling business is demanding on the bodies and minds of its talent. In past generations, alcohol and pills were commonly used to get through the pain.
That approach led to rampant addiction and saw scores of talent passing away, often well under the age of 65. Fans from the late 1970s, 1980s and 1990s may especially recall the deaths of fan favorites, often with drugs, alcohol and suicide involved.
Serious, nagging injuries remain common in an industry where performers wrestle numerous times a week, exposing their bodies to significant pain, even when moves are performed as planned.
Today's era of wrestling talent has appeared to embrace cannabis over the past generation's more addictive options.

A Modern Solution To An Age-Old Problem
The world of professional wrestling has had its vocal cannabis consumers, most notably veteran Rob Van Dam and former UFC fighter Matt Riddle. Now signed with the family-friendly World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: WWE), it's expected Riddle will speak less on the subject.
WWE represents the most notable name in the industry. Outside of WWE, cannabis use experienced a slight level of growth in discussion over the years.
"Effy" is a well-known wrestler on the independent circuit who has fought for various promotions. "The Weapon of Sass Destruction" explained how cannabis is part of a larger culture shift in the sport, which now often tries to avoid addictive opioid drugs.

A priest accused of violating a church policy of contact with minors has resigned rather than seek additional treatment, according to a statement from Bishop Frank J. Caggiano.
The Rev. Frank Gomez, pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Church in Bridgeport since 2015, was removed as pastor of the city's largest parish, for what Caggiano said was violating the diocese's policies on contact with children.
Gomez has been receiving treatment in Pennsylvania since July 19, but notified Caggiano of his decision to resign rather than undergo continued treatment at a Canadian facility that was suggested by a group of professionals caring for him, the Bishop said.
"Unfortunately Father Gomez informed me that he would not admit himself to Southdown and furthermore informed me that after discernment and consultation, he has decided to leave priestly ministry permanently," Caggiano said in the statement.
In the statement or decree that effectively removes Gomez from the priesthood, the Bishop said concerns about Gomez's behavior were brought to him earlier in the summer but did not include any illegal behavior.
"The violations to the code of conduct consisted of the following: Texting of minors over a significant period of time without parental knowledge or consent, offering gifts to minors without prior parental consent and some physical interaction that, while not sexual in nature, made both the minors and adults present uncomfortable," the Bishop wrote.
Gomez also served as the bishop's secretary and was the head of the city's 11 parishes.
The Bishop also announced, that in response to the national priest sexual abuse issue, he will lead a Holy Hour with Rosary and a Mass of Reparation and Purification on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Cathedral of St. Augustine, in Bridgeport.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi Alysa! Sorry I didn't see this sooner! My blog is through WordPress. I think the reason it looks different is because I use the Genesis Framework and I have a child theme that creates the unique look for my blog. It's actually the easiest way I've found to design a blog too. I struggled in the beginning with trying to get the look I wanted and trying to figure out how to add things to my blog. You can read a post I wrote on my other blog about my experience with it and exactly what I use and how to set it up if you're interested. Click here to read that post.


How else can the rejection of Julie Bishop's prime ministerial candidacy be explained? A person more popular and arguably more experienced than any other standing member in her party? "She's been a loyal deputy and friend".
Her decision came after she was knocked out in the first round of the three-way Liberal leadership contest which installed Mr Morrison as PM in place of Malcolm Turnbull. She was easily the electorate's choice.
Bishop contested Friday's leadership vote but was eliminated in the first round, with Morrison then emerging as a surprise compromise victor over Peter Dutton, Turnbull's conservative challenger who brought the leadership crisis to a head earlier in the week. The crushing defeat was no mistake.
"Cormann rumoured to be putting some WA votes behind Julie Bishop in round 1", a message purporting to be from Infrastructure Minister Paul Fletcher told the group.
It is hard to grasp why choosing Morrison would constitute "voting with their heads", but the message clearly worked.
The Foreign Affairs Minister expects the trans-Tasman relationship will continue on a strong footing with Australia's new prime minister, Scott Morrison.
Scott Morrison has extended an olive branch to Tony Abbott by offering him a special role as the Prime Minister announced his new-look cabinet.
Turnbull tweeted she "has been and remains an inspiring role model for women here and around the world".
Bishop's counterpart in the opposition Labor Party, Penny Wong, praised her "tireless work ethic", adding that her "commitment to standing up for Australia both here and overseas has never been in question".
The new foreign minister's big challenge will be navigating a tricky relationship with China, Australia's top trading partner.
"In particular I have deeply appreciated her commitment to bipartisanship and her personal courtesy to me", she added.
Britain and the United States have blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin's government for the attack . These are just the latest in a long line of U.S. sanctions targeting the Russians.
The driver can use it to select programs such as Comfort, Sport and Sport+, which offer different driving characteristics. The giant display features the ability to "virtually" race against current and old Silver Arrow cars.

Another BYU basketball player has announced that he is leaving the program.
Sophomore guard Rylan Bergersen is transferring, coach Dave Rose announced Thursday.
Last week, junior guard Jashshire Hardnett said on Twitter that he is leaving BYU as a graduate-transfer with one season of eligibility remaining.
Neither departure comes as a big surprise.
Bergersen, 6-foot-6, played two seasons for BYU but averaged just 1.9 points and 0.7 rebounds in his career in Provo. He hasn't played more than 10 minutes in a game since getting 12 minutes against Pepperdine on Jan. 17.
Bergersen, from Boise, will have to sit out next year due to NCAA transfer rules and will have two years of eligibility remaining. He has put his name in the NCAA's transfer portal.
Hardnett played in 55 games and made 47 starts at BYU. The 6-foot guard from Gulfport, Miss., averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists this season, but missed large portions of the season with a bruised left hand.
Hardnett noted on Twitter that he expects to graduate from BYU this spring and will become the first college graduate in his family.
