Preparing for Durban II
The recent UN resolution that calls for "combating the defamation of religions" is just one front in a strategic effort mounted by the OIC through the United Nations. The Organization of the Islamic Conference has a ten-year plan for eradicating Islamophobia in the world, and the UN is the preferred venue for its implementation.
With 57 members, the OIC carries considerable clout in the UN. Although not a majority — there are 192 member states in the United Nations — the Islamic countries can vote and lobby as a bloc, and pull along many of the Third World nations such as Venezuela or Cuba, who like nothing better than taking jabs at the United States and Israel.
The UN is in the process of making final preparations for "Durban II", next April's follow-up to the notorious Durban conference of September 2001. The push to outlaw the defamation of religions is part of a larger platform which aims to eliminate "racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at all levels". The all-purpose bogeyman of racism is a convenient tool which can be used to suppress any criticism of Islam and overrule objections to sharia.
Eye on the UN sent us an alert about the provisional agenda for Durban II. I did some research on related UN activities, working from a list of UN documents outlining the Durban program of action. I picked the six most recent reports from various UN committees, plus the provisional agenda, and went through them all (see the bottom of this post for the full list of documents used).
Like most documents produced by large supranational bureaucracies, these UN reports are stupefyingly boring. Reading through them is almost more than a mortal can do, and one presumes that this is exactly what the authors of these works intended. It's the purloined-letter strategy applied to an international bureaucratic power grab: all that you need to know is right there in plain sight. To get to it, however, you have to wade through all those hectares of bumf without falling asleep.
Here are a couple of examples of what the reader faces in these documents:
…the centrality of resource mobilization, effective global partnership and international cooperation in the context of paragraphs 157 and 158 of the Durban Programme of Action for the successful realization of commitments undertaken at the World Conference, and to this end emphasizes the importance of the mandate of the group of independent eminent experts on the implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, especially in mobilizing the necessary political will for the successful implementation of the Declaration and Programme of Action;…
By its decision PC.3/9 of 17 October 2008 entitled "Continuation of the preparatory process for the Durban Review Conference", the Preparatory Committee established this intersessional open-ended intergovernmental working group and decided that it shall meet for a total of up to 10 working days in advance of the third substantive session of the Preparatory Committee, including a meeting on 27 November 2008, the first session to be held from 19 to 23 January 2009, and the second session on 6 to 9 April 2009 or at any other date agreed by the working group.
Does that make everything clear?
These documents, however, are loaded with nuggets of information. Let's start with some bullet points from the Provisional Agenda (Document #1):
Review of progress and assessment of implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action by all stakeholders at the national, regional and international levels, including the assessment of contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance:
Sources, causes, forms and contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;
Victims of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;
Measures of prevention, education and protection aimed at the eradication of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at all levels;
Provision of effective remedies, recourse, redress, and compensatory and other measures at all levels;
Strategies to achieve full and effective equality, including international cooperation and enhancement of the United Nations and other international mechanisms in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
The litany of evil — "racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" is repeated over and over again in these documents. The most significant phrase is the open-ended "related intolerance". As you'll see, this is the door that admits the full-fledged suppression of free speech, because "related intolerance" includes any hatred based on religion. It links up with the combating of defamation of religion, and thus mandates the prohibition of any criticism of Islam.
For the rest of this analysis I'll use the Report of the Third Committee (Document #2), which seems to be the latest version of a series of similar reports. For the last few months, various committees and subgroups have been weighing in with their own versions and suggested amendments, and I assume that there will be further revisions before Durban II rolls out the canapés and white wine next April. But for our purposes, this will serve as the definitive document of what lies in store for us.
First, from the preface:
Reiterating that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and have the potential to contribute constructively to the development and well-being of their societies, and that any doctrine of racial superiority is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous and must be rejected, together with theories that attempt to determine the existence of separate human races,
This starts out just fine — all human beings are born free and equal. But then the authors start defining what is and isn't scientifically proven. Do we really want the bureaucrats of the UN telling us what is scientifically true or false?
And even if the "doctrine of racial superiority" could somehow be disproved, why should believing in it be a crime? Is it a crime to believe the earth is flat, or that thunderstorms are caused by jinni?
Another point of interest:
Convinced that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance manifest themselves in a differentiated manner for women and girls and may be among the factors leading to a deterioration in their living conditions, poverty, violence, multiple forms of discrimination and the limitation or denial of their human rights, and recognizing the need to integrate a gender perspective into relevant policies, strategies and programmes of action against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia,
What is this getting at? Is this mere feminist boilerplate? Or is it softening us up for a rationalization of the differential treatment of women under sharia?
And now for select numbered items from the rest of the report. I've interspersed them with my own comments in bold.
4. Stresses that States and international organizations have a responsibility to ensure that measures taken in the struggle against terrorism do not discriminate in purpose or effect on grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin, and urges all States to rescind or refrain from all forms of racial profiling;
This is the rationale for exempting Muslims from any special scrutiny at the airport and in counter-terrorism investigations. It guarantees that every time a Muslim is investigated on suspicion of terrorism, lawsuits and other legal actions will be launched "under the provisions of international law".
6. Also recognizes that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance occur on the grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin and that victims can suffer multiple or aggravated forms of discrimination based on other related grounds, such as sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, social origin, property, birth or other status;
Notice that "religion" has crept into the mix here.
And so has "political opinion". But do you think my political opinion — namely, that Islam is a political ideology disguised as a religion — will be protected? Or does the "no defamation of religions" stricture trump all other opinions?
10. Calls upon all States, in accordance with the commitments undertaken in paragraph 147 of the Durban Programme of Action, to take all necessary measures to combat the incitement to violence motivated by racial hatred, including through misuse of print, audio-visual and electronic media and new communication technologies, and, in collaboration with service providers, to promote the use of such technologies, including the Internet, to contribute to the fight against racism, in conformity with international standards of freedom of expression and taking all necessary measures to guarantee that right;
This is a big one: it provides the framework for a UN-mandated crackdown on the internet. Gates of Vienna criticizes Islam, and that constitutes a "related intolerance" equivalent to racism. Therefore what we do is actionable under the provisions of Durban II, and our governments — assuming they intend to honor their treaty obligations to the UN, in observance of "international law" — will be required to take action against our "racist" speech.
11. Encourages all States to include in their educational curricula and social programmes at all levels, as appropriate, knowledge of and tolerance and respect for all cultures, civilizations, religions, peoples and countries, as well as information on the follow-up to and implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action;
The interference of the federal government in education is not good enough: now the UN will have a voice in our schools' curricula. As if there isn't already plenty of Multiculturalism larded into our school materials — from now on UNESCO or some similar organization will be writing the textbooks for our schoolchildren.
12. Stresses the responsibility of States to mainstream a gender perspective in the design and development of prevention, education and protection measures aimed at the eradication of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at all levels, to ensure that they effectively target the distinct situations of women and men;
Here comes the "gender perspective" again. What in the world does this mean?
27. Welcomes the steps taken by numerous Governments, in particular the elaboration and implementation of national action plans to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and steps taken by national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations, towards the full implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and affirms this trend as a demonstration of commitment to the elimination of all scourges of racism at the national level;
The phrase to note in this item is "non-governmental organizations". NGOs lie outside the formal UN structure, but do much of the grunt work on behalf of the UN's agenda. They are funded in part by national governments and by large (leftist) philanthropic organizations, and act according to a trans-national imperative with little accountability.
These are the groups that will be pushing the Durban II program all over the world.
29. Calls upon all States to formulate and implement without delay, at the national, regional and international levels, policies and plans of action to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, including their gender-based manifestations;
Get with the program, people!
38. Requests the Secretary-General to provide the necessary resources for the effective fulfilment of the mandates of the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, the group of independent eminent experts on the implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the Ad Hoc Committee on the Elaboration of Complementary Standards;
"Experts on People of African Descent"? What are they? Who certified them? What are the criteria for their expertise?
45. Recognizes with deep concern the increase in anti-Semitism, Christianophobia and Islamophobia in various parts of the world, as well as the emergence of racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed against Arab, Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, as well as all religious communities, communities of people of African descent, communities of people of Asian descent, communities of indigenous people and other communities;
This is a joke, considering that Durban II is shaping up to be a veritable orgy of anti-Semitism.
And "Christianophobia"? Give me a break! When's the last time you heard anyone accused of Christianophobia?
Make no mistake about it: only one of these Multicultural sins will be punished, and that's Islamophobia.
49. Requests the Special Rapporteur to continue giving particular attention to the negative impact of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance on the full enjoyment of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights by national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, immigrant populations, asylum-seekers and refugees;
Refer to the list of Durban-related documents, and you'll see what we're up against.
Legions of UN bureaucrats toil day and night to churn this stuff out. They are lavishly funded by the UN — which means by the taxpayers of the member states, with the United States prominent among them.
Their resources are virtually limitless. They can conjure this nonsense out of thin air indefinitely. Their opponents, on the other hand, are mostly volunteers toiling in obscurity. Based on the disparity of financial backing, our chances are not good.
So we need all the help we can get. If you have the time and the stomach, slog through these documents, spread the word, and let your elected representatives know how you feel.
Denmark and several other European countries are considering boycotting Durban II. If enough Western nations stay away — if the working papers are signed only by Libya, Cuba, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, Laos, and the like — then the results will be meaningless, and their impact will be minimal.
The UN is an evil monstrosity. No civilized country should be a part of it.

I don't hate Muslims. I do hate murderous goons. So, if Muslims do not wish me to hate them, they should stop being murderous goons.
And I don't care if me saying so harelips the entire General Assembly. If I see a blue helmet in my neighborhood I shall ventilate it.
Zenster said...
Where to begin in such a voluminous compilation of utter balderdash? Let's have a go at deconstructing the previous bullet points, shall we?
* Sources, causes, forms and contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;
The usual Houdini-like misdirection of citing "racism" when Islam is not any sort of "race". As to "xenophobia" and "intolerance", I do believe that the most towering examples of this are to be found in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. As is so often the case, Islam should first and foremost pay attention to cleaning its own house. Matthew 7:3 also springs to mind, "And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"
* Victims of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;
I would say that the "Victims" of Islam suffer such assaults in the greatest measure. Perish the thought that this might be brought to light.
* Measures of prevention, education and protection aimed at the eradication of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at all levels;
Perhaps a good place to start would be with all those Muslim textbooks that depict Jews and Americans as pigs and donkeys. We then might move on to the MME (Muslim Middle East) editorial cartoons that show Jews as Nazis, vampires and genocidal murderers.
* Provision of effective remedies, recourse, redress, and compensatory and other measures at all levels;
Wonderful! How about we begin with addressing the Right of Return for all Jews evicted from Muslim lands? Might not that be a splendid demonstration of reciprocity with respect to the MME's persistent squalling about the Palestinians' Right to Return?
* Strategies to achieve full and effective equality, including international cooperation and enhancement of the United Nations and other international mechanisms in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
How cute, "full and effective equality", something utterly absent and wholly frowned upon in the Koran and throughout Islam in general. Mathew's saying about the log in one's own eye leaps to mind yet again.
Reciprocity must be forced down Islam's gullet with a jackhammer. It is long past tea for Muslims to toe the line they so stridently demand that others adhere to.
Does anybody know when the persecution of us will start? Anyone? Or won't we know for sure before they kick in our doors and drag us away?

Merging Records for Digital Membership Cards
February 9, 2022 By Rick Hernandez
Duplicate data cannot be avoided but it is also necessary to maintain a clean list for your marketing campaign. A clean record can only be achieved if you remove, update and do merging of records.
Altru looks up to constituents based on the primary information like first name, last name, and email address. If there are multiple records in the system, it will be hard to identify which data to display on the Membership Card. In this article, we will show you how to deal with duplicate records and the process of merging of data.
Duplicate Records
Assuming that you have two records with different first names which resulted in duplicate data. When you have these duplicates and you need to email this member for the first time then you have to pick one of the two records without deduping your data.
Note: This is for illustration only. Typically the ID contains 16 digits but in this case, we will use A-1 for the first record and B-2 for the second record.
In this example, we will pick the record A-1 and send an email that contains a link called A-1. If the member clicks on the email, she will get the membership card referencing the record A-1.
Merging of Data
if you decided to keep Kimberly Thompson and merge the two records then get rid of all the duplicates.
In this example, Kim will be added as an alias under record B-2. No need to bring over Thompson because it already existed. In the case of the System ID – they can only have one.
This scenario shows that if you merge over record A-1 into record B-2, record A-1 will be deleted. The record ID that you are merging into will also be kept, which is the system ID of B-2. If this data was already merged and the member clicks again the link referencing record A-1 then she will get an error 404 because A-1 doesn't exist anymore.
Once the merge of records happened, the Membership Record in Altru which was originally attached to record A-1 was now attached to record B-2.
Kimberly must manually tag to let her know that there are changes made with her record in the Altru system.
Once Kimberly was manually tagged, the query will pick it up and take it over to the email which now contains the link for record B-2. When Kimberly clicks on the link, she will receive a Membership Card referencing record B-2.
Take note that it is necessary to manually tag the member to re-communicate.

Q: Send signal from multi-instance subprocess without terminating the other instances? Basically, I have a multi-instance subprocess and want to be able to send some kind of signal to the parent process without terminating all other instances of the subprocess.
Please have a look on this sample process:

*

*The subprocess is a multi-instance subprocess with a cardinality of 3.

*i.e. when completing UserTask A, three instances of the subprocess are created. The user then needs to complete Task B three times. Fine.

*But when the gateway routes to the "throw signal" event, I want the other two instances keep on running! Currently, all instances of the subprocess are terminated as soon as the signal is thrown.

*With the help of the signal, I want to create some more instances of the subprocess after visiting UserTask A again.

How can I model this behavior in BPMN / Camunda?
Thanks in advance!
Chris

A: It is possible to achieve what you want by declaring the boundary catching signal event to be non-interrupting.
(Having said that, from a pure BPMN perspective an escalation event throw/catch would be a better fit for your case, but it is not yet supported by camunda BPM. So, just be careful not to cause side effects with the signal, because the signals may be received by other catching signal events, too.)

New York Film Academy (NYFA) Broadcast Journalism Update – October 12, 2018
Last week, we featured the new class of New York Film Academy (NYFA) Broadcast Journalism students learning the fine points of video editing. This week, it is camera class. Graduates will recognize Classroom #505, where many of our students first learned how to shoot with a Canon C300 camera. And as the pictures show, at first it was a lot of fun.
But out in the field, shooting your first story (30-second Voiceover) is always challenging. However, things seemed to work out pretty well in the end. (How many of you shot on Stone Street for that project?) I don't remember the "lion" ever being interviewed before. And with a reflector to even out the light!
The big news last week was New York Film Academy grad Sergei Ivonin winning a Primetime News & Documentary Emmy Award. (That is the highest honor in American television.) Sergei was a member of one of the first NYFA Broadcast Journalism classes, and after graduation he went to work at NBC News. For many years he was an MMJ (multimedia journalist) for the magazine show Dateline NBC. That meant lots of travel. He also played an important role in NBC's coverage of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. In fact, his Russian language skills made him irreplaceable.That meant he didn't get very much sleep, as stories had to be generated around the clock for various NBC programs.
Sergei is now a producer on the Today show, working on the 9am hour with Megyn Kelly. But it was as a field producer on the Dateline NBC team that he won his Emmy, for a segment in which former U.S. President Barack Obama was interviewed.
Congratulations, Sergei!
Also last week, 2011 Broadcast Journalism graduate Alana Blaylock was profiled in Forbes magazine. Alana used the skills she gained at NYFA as the basis for her development as an innovative content creator. She also has some insightful things to say about the arc of her career, as well as the creative process. Underlying it all is a belief in hard work, adapting to the demands of a project while retaining your integrity, and the enduring value of curiosity and an open mind…
Finally, Summer Workshop graduate Varvara Makarevich is still working in Russian language television… Only here in the United States! She is working with Voice of America (VOA), which is a U.S. government-funded broadcast service that distributes journalistically balanced programing in a variety of languages around the world. I know it sounds like a contradiction — a government agency providing unbiased programming — but it's true. A long-time friend and former colleague in Tokyo is now head of the VOA White House bureau. I think he has one of the toughest jobs in the world. (But that's just my opinion…)
Great work, Varvara!

Q: uploading .txt to FTP server adds new lines I'm trying to upload a .txt file to an FTP server using Python and ftplib. Connecting works, uploading as well - just a little weird.
My file looks like this:
line1
line2
line3
...

it is created with simple writes
file.write('line1\n) ...
I upload it using storbinary (same with storlines)
ftp = ftplib.FTP() # and connecting to the server

file = open(file_name, 'rb')
ftp.storbinary('STOR file.txt', file)

Now, when I look at the file in the server (also tried downloading it and then looking at it), it looks like this:
line1

line2

line3

...

Why does that happen? It has to happen while uploading since until then it looks like how it's intended to.

A: You're creating this file under Windows and sending to a Linux FTP serwer, right?
Windows end lines with \r\n, and Linux with just \n. Using storlines instead of storbinary should fix the problem.

Those yet to experience the pleasure of Peruvian dishes may be surprised to learn that restaurants in Lima were named the world's sixth and seventh best last year.
Two eateries in the country's capital earned spots on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list compiled by a British magazine last year, proving Peruvian cuisine is something not to be missed if you're a fan of gourmet food.
Tetsuo Ota, a 38-year-old chef who trained in Italy and Spain, picked Peru as the final stop in his culinary studies. Ota wondered how potatoes and chili peppers native to the Andes tasted and prepared and dreamed of one day visiting the place. While staying in a small settlement in the Amazon, he tasted honey from bee nests in the jungle and accompanied locals on a hunt for edible turtles.
He was also drawn to the diversity of the people. The cultures of the indigenous people and those of Spanish ancestry fused, creating the country's varied food culture.
Chicharron sandwiches, a popular breakfast menu item in Peru, were created by African-Peruvians. Pork bellies are deep fried until crisp and placed between slices of bread. The sweet and spicy sauce made from chili peppers and honey coats the pork nicely and mint adds a refreshing twist. Ota first encountered them while working at a solitary restaurant in the desert run by an old woman. He has been making them ever since, all the while pursuing how to perfect its flavor.
Gaston Acurio was the main reason Ota was attracted to Peru. The chef, who helped spread Peruvian cuisine around the world, is known as the "person who steers the nation with cooking." Acurio cares for the producers of the ingredients and has established a cooking school that is open to needy children.
Ota trained at one of Acurio's restaurants and began fair-trading to purchase Peruvian cacao. He sometimes serves as a guide to Japanese cooks visiting the Amazon.
"I voluntarily serve as a sightseeing ambassador for Peru," he said with a smile.
Ota, who will be soon opening a restaurant in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, hopes to open one overseas someday.
"The world is wide. You only live once. I'd like to take on the challenge," he said.
Boil pork belly in salted water for about three hours until tender.
Pour 1 Tbsp oil in pot, cook boiled pork for 30 minutes to an hour over medium heat until crisp. Turn sides occasionally. Deep fry 1-cm thick anno-imo slices. Absorb oil with paper towel.
Slice bread horizontally and toast.
Mix Aji mirasol paste, mustard, 2 Tbsp vinegar and honey to make sauce. Spread on bread, stack anno-imo and pork belly cut into 1- to 2-cm-thick slices. Pour sauce over pork.
Slice red onion and immerse in water. Squeeze out water. Mix with mint, lemon juice and bit of salt. Place on anno-imo and pork and cover with bread.
Aji mirasol paste is available at stores specializing in South American ingredients. Paprika powder diluted with water or olive oil may be used as a substitute. In Peru, a type of sweet potato called "camote" that tastes like anno-imo is used.

SANTA FE >> The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is pleased to sponsor a statewide child safety seat clinic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Saturday, Sept. 19. The clinics will take place in six cities and seven different locations as part of National Child Passenger Safety Week Seat Check Saturday.
The free clinics are held on a first-come, first-serve basis and are open to the public. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 3 to 14.
"Whether they are taking short trips or long vacations, our families should do everything they can to ensure a safe drive. And that means everyone must wear their seatbelt, and wear it the right way," said Governor Susana Martinez. "Every parent should take the time to educate themselves on how to properly use of a child safety seat. Just a few minutes could help save your child's life."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, research has found that the use of child safety seats reduces fatal injury by 71 percent in infants and by 54 percent for toddlers (children one to four years of age) in passenger cars.
At the event, parents and caregivers will have access to personal instruction from certified technicians on the proper selection and use of their child safety seats. It is estimated that three out of four child safety seats are not used correctly.
"We are pleased to be able to offer these clinics to the parents and caregivers of New Mexico. It is through education, advocacy and community outreach efforts such as this that we are able to save lives," said New Mexico Department of Transportation Cabinet Secretary Tom Church. "A simple mistake could leave a child dangerously vulnerable in the event of a crash. Getting proper instruction from a certified technician can help reduce the risk of injury or even death for children involved in a motor vehicle crash."
The clinics are a public service provided by the NMDOT's Traffic Safety Division and Safer New Mexico Now. Kohl's Department Stores is partnering with the NMDOT through the Kohl's Cares Community Outreach Program.
Certain locations are by appointment only. Please call 1-800- 231-6145 for more information about the statewide child safety seat clinic or child passenger safety, or view the locations online at: http://safernm.net/Top/Calendars/Child_Passenger_Safety_Calendar.html

Mergers and acquisitions in th..
He has been voiceless. Uchumi has no voice. How about the voiceless roars where there is no voice! Sounds a plan, where there is will, there is way.
Uchumi supermarket this week announced that they had hired the Equity Bank Chief Operating Officer (COO), Julius Kipg'etich technically second in command, as their new CEO. At Equity, outsiders thought he is being lined up to take over as the Equity Bank's CEO once James Mwangi leaves, whether that is true or not, it may never happen.
The main problem at Equity is that James Mwangi is the only voice. All honor and glory is his. No other person is tangibly heard. Hence the perception has been that Kipng'etich has not had a tangible contribution to the company. Unfortunately since only James Mwangi makes public statements for the bank, any other person's contributions are publicly muted.
At Uchumi as the boss, Kipng'etich has the chance to roar as he did while at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). While poaching was not wholly eradicated during his tenure, he soared the revenues of the organization and also ensured greater brand visibility.
Already he has stated that he will ban employees from doubling up as suppliers, something that messed up the company leading to losses. The conflict of interest meant that as suppliers and also employees, they could supply goods at whatever rate is favorable to them as they are guaranteed. In addition, quality is easily compromised in this scenario, something that affects the sales.
A week ago, Uchumi had poached Willy King'ara from Naivas supermarket to be the new Chief Operating Officer at Uchumi. These two top executives certainly have their work well cut out to turnaround the retail company.
A word of advice to Kipng'etich would be once the company is back to profitability, take off to go to a new challenge. Do not turnaround it then turn it again 360 degrees.

China's Xi congratulates Biden on U.S. election victory
Event marking the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's participation in the Korean War in Beijing
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday congratulated Joe Biden on winning the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election, voicing hope the two countries could promote a healthy and stable development of bilateral ties, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Sino-U.S. relations have deteriorated to their worst in decades during incumbent U.S. President's Donald Trump's four years in office, with disputes simmering over issues from trade and technology to Hong Kong and the coronavirus.
In his congratulatory message to Biden, Xi said healthy ties between the world's two biggest economies were not only in the fundamental interests of their two peoples but also expected by the international community, Xinhua reported.
Asked to comment, an official of Biden's transition team said: "We appreciate the congratulations from all world leaders who have conveyed them, including President Xi."
During the election campaign, Biden vowed a tough line on China's expanding influence worldwide and referred to Xi more than once as a "thug" for his human rights practices.
On Tuesday, in formally unveiling his foreign policy team, Biden said allies were looking forward to the United States reasserting its historic role as a global leader in the Pacific, where China has been seeking to supplant it as the dominant power.
At the same time, Biden, who is due to take office on Jan. 20, has prioritized progress on issues such as climate change, nuclear nonproliferation and global health, for which he will need Chinese cooperation.
China's foreign ministry congratulated Biden on Nov. 13, nearly a week after many U.S. allies had, holding out as Trump, who is still challenging the election results, refused to concede defeat.
In 2016, Xi sent congratulations to Trump on Nov. 9, a day after that year's election.
Also on Wednesday, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan congratulated Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, on being elected as the next U.S. vice president, Xinhua said, without providing further details.

Jackson Batchelor, Sam Mason-Bell, James Cullen Bressack (executive), Warren Croyle (executive) for Trash Arts, Sandaled Kid Productions
directed by Sam Mason-Bell
starring Chris Mills, Annabella Rich, Ryan Carter, Rishky Patel, James E. Taylor, Russell Churcher, Simon Berry, Elton Pedroso, Trista Robinson, Janette Evans, Singh LallTony Mardon, Neal Jones, Ashleigh Swain, Omar Mahmood Lagres, Cassandre Wallace
written by Bobby K. Richardson, Anthony Leone, Sam Mason-Bell, music by Rusty Apper
Computer programmer Daniel (Chris Mills) has served some time in prison for hacking - that he has done it for all the right reasons, to expose a scammy non-profit, didn't matter back when. Now out he finds it hard to get a job, and since he has little social life, he gives online dating a go - and quickly comes to like, maybe even fall in love with Alyssa (Annabella Rich). Alyssa is fresh and funny, and she also takes an interest in him but ... she's got baggage of her own, which is never more evident than when she shows up to one of their video chats with a black eye, claiming it has been the doing of her ex who still occasionally stops by to beat her up. Daniel gets worried about her, and since the two live too far apart for him to physically help her, he decides to hack into her computer cameras to keep an eye on her that way at least - and he couldn't be more shocked about what he sees, a masked man (Ryan Carter) tieing her to her bed and beating her into submission. But the worst thing about it, the masked man knows Daniel's watching, and he knows who Daniel is and what he's capable of - so he forces Daniel to hack into a blockchain algorithm he has once helped to create to transfer the company's wealth to Alyssa's captor. But he gives Daniel only three hours time, which is short enough as it is, but what's worse is that the detective (James E. Taylor) who has once booked Daniel is once again on his case ...
Being shot the found footage way, as in mostly through (supposed) webcams and CCTV cameras, this film can't fully escape the limitations of the genre, which is a lack of cinematic compositions or really any sort of aesthetics beyond the very basic - but that's not at all to say Hacker: Trust No One is a bad movie, as it's actually a pretty lively thriller that makes the best out of its limitations and compensates its lack of fancy camerawork with clever editing, and moves the story along at a steady pace, with plenty of surprises along the way one didn't see coming from a distance already. And despite never actually meeting in the film, Chris mills and Annabella Rich manage to develop the right chemistry to make this one work.

Food Fight: Prospect Provisions
Mar 04, 2020, 7:36am EST
The results are in, and one sandwich shop in Park Slope is once again being called one of the best places in the borough to eat.
Many customers say Prospect Provisions is one of the best places to eat in Brooklyn.
The park slope sandwich shop is taking the top spot in the first week of News 12's Food Fight.
"Delicious, everything is delicious. And their service and the warmth, and the way that they welcome here and that also keeps bringing me back," says customer Julie Glemaude.
Since opening about a year and a half ago, the shop, which names its items after different locations across the borough, continues to make a hit when it comes to its signature sandwich, the Flatbush Avenue.
"It's chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, bacon, lettuce, tomato, garlic, aioli on an everything brioche roll. The roll is proprietary to us; the bakery makes it just for us," says owner Mark Mellinger.
Mellinger says the shop is still growing, adding dinner plates like this braised short rib with brussels sprouts to the menu.
"We're not quite there on success yet, but the way we just try to get a little bit better every day; and we try to do our best and we take the food and the hospitality very seriously," says Mellinger.

Q: How do I make a program in Python Command? I just started programming, and while the tutorial I was using had me use IDLE, I wanted to make proper programs in the the command window so that I could use py2exe to make them into .exe's. Unfortunately, upon opening up the command window, it looked nothing like IDLE. I had no idea how to even start making my code, after looking, and finding nothing on the grounds that this is a somewhat basic question, I really need to know the best way to do this, and if I'm not understanding something about py2exe or Python, let me know.

A: Command lines are nothing like IDE, if you want to develop using something similar to a command line, you should try vim or emacs,
sublime and pycharm also allows you to run/compile code and feels more like IDE / text editor,
If you want make exe files py2exe is recommended, you could also start python from batch files(windows)
There is also the gui options like TkInter or QT to make apps
Depending on what applications you need there will be a better option, you asked a question to general to have a silver bullet.

Q: Buddypress plugin bug - XML to PHP It is an external group blogs plugin
It gives group creators and administrators on your BuddyPress install the ability to attach external blog RSS feeds to groups.
Blog posts will appear within the activity stream for the group.
New posts will automatically be pulled every hour, or every 30 minutes if someone specifically visits a group page.
There are so many bugs that I found.
1) it is not fetching feeds automatically
2) if I try to manually updates feeds it is reposting the same entries, I mean it is not fetching new feeds.
3) WordPress admin bar is also not working properly with this plugin.
This plugin contains 2 webpages.
First and the main page is loader.php
<?php

/*
Plugin Name: External Group Blogs
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-group-blogs/
Description: Allow group creators to supply external blog RSS feeds that will attach        future posts on blogs to a group.
*/

 /* Only load the plugin functions if BuddyPress is loaded and initialized. */
function bp_groupblogs_init() {
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/bp-groups-externalblogs.php' );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_groupblogs_init' );

/* On activation register the cron to refresh external blog posts. */
function bp_groupblogs_activate() {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'bp_groupblogs_cron' );
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'bp_groupblogs_activate' );

/* On deacativation, clear the cron. */
function bp_groupblogs_deactivate() {
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'bp_groupblogs_cron' );

/* Remove all external blog activity */
if ( function_exists( 'bp_activity_delete' ) )
    bp_activity_delete( array( 'type' => 'exb' ) );
}
register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, 'bp_groupblogs_deactivate' );

?>

And the 2nd file is bp-groups-externalblogs.php
<?php
/* Group blog extension using the BuddyPress group extension API */

I have a suggestion for stopping data repeating in activity stream. Maybe use wp-cron api and a current date xml feeds fetching system once in a day. So it will not repeat the same feeds in a group activity stream. We need a criteria by which we can stop data repetition in the bp group activity stream. It is a part of my project. Is there another way of fetching feeds and saving it to the mysql table (in the group activity stream) and then show it as a latest group updates?

A: Actually IT IS fetching automatically.
I see the cron usage in a plugin. WordPress Cron fires only when any user opens your site. So no users (no pageviews) - no cron activity. On every pageview WP-Cron check whether the time to fire any function came or not.
Perhaps this plugin will help you a bit - display a RSS feed in a separate group tab.


In 2014, I was invited to participate in the interfaith exhibition titled, "Amen: A Prayer to the World" organized by CARAVAN, "an international intercultural and interfaith arts non-profit which has the objective of building bridges through the arts between the creeds and cultures of the Middle East and West. One of the flagship initiatives of CARAVAN is the globally recognized interfaith CARAVAN Exhibition. This unique exhibition brings together many the Middle East's and West's premier and emerging artists to enhance understanding, respect, and deepen friendship between those of different faiths and cultures through the arts. Each year the CARAVAN interfaith arts exhibition has garnered attention from the international press, media and art world, attracting thousands of visitors." The Amen sculptures were exhibited at The Cairo Opera House, in Cairo, Egypt, The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and St. John the Divine Cathedral in NYC.
I am inspired by the legacy of human spirit contained in the luminous lands of the Palouse renowned for farming and geological history. This landscape region is visually defined by winding rhythmic flowing lines that describe, for me, a spiritually nurturing Mother Earth. Nothing remains the same on the Palouse wheat fields as change is captured in each moment of the lifecycle of wheat from germination to final harvest in the course of one season. Therein lies the Spirit in abundant changing wheat fields, the farmers' lyrical furrows engraved on the earth, the spectrum of ripening crops, and the rhythmic flow of the sky.

Healthcare has entered a new era. Electronic medical records are streamlining communication; healthcare reform is changing who has access to care; and the internet enables people to research their own conditions (for better or for worse). Medicine is becoming much more efficient.
Sixty years ago in their small village, my grandfather was the only doctor and my grandmother was the only dentist. Back then, life was slower. They had time to really get to know their patients. The relationship was an integral part of the healing process. Although sometimes it seems to have slipped away, there still are places where relationship is central to care, if you know where to look.
I am passionate about this medicine. I believe in taking the time to explore the causes of ill health and craft individualized treatments. I love practicing naturopathic medicine because of what it allows me to offer. I make time in a visit to hear what you need to say. I give time and attention to your health on all levels–mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. I am committed to excellence in the care I give and I am experienced with just the right combination of up-to-date science, traditional healing practices and a gentle, effective approach to human health and well-being.
Dr. Tomsovic is a naturopathic doctor (ND), not a medical doctor (MD). Naturopathic medicine is not a medical specialty but a separate and distinct health care tradition. Dr. Tomsovic graduated from an accredited four-year graduate program as a naturopathic doctor and is currently licensed in the state of Vermont.
In January 2017, Massachusetts passed a bill that will license naturopathic doctors. The process does take time and we are hoping to have licenses available by fall 2018. This will allow NDs to diagnose and order labs. Whether there will be insurance coverage remains to be seen, but will likely vary by insurer and plan. Stay tuned.

UK's Hunt urges leadership rival Johnson not to be 'coward'
'A new prime minister needs the legitimacy of having made his arguments publicly and having them subjected to scrutiny,' says Jeremy Hunt
Published: 11:13 PM June 24, 2019
Updated: 11:13 PM June 24, 2019

LONDON, United Kingdom – Jeremy Hunt, the underdog in a bitter battle with Boris Johnson to become Britain's next prime minister, on Monday, June 24, called on his rival not to be "a coward" trying to "avoid scrutiny" – over both a domestic row and his Brexit policy.
Johnson is the overwhelming favorite to replace Theresa May as Conservative party leader but has limited his public appearances, including skipping a candidates' TV debate.
The former foreign minister and one-time London mayor has been accused of not having a detailed plan to take Britain out of the European Union.
He is also under growing pressure following a scandal over an argument with his girlfriend that led to a police visit to their home last week.
"I am not interested in debating Boris's private life," Hunt said in an article in The Times, arguing he instead wants to quiz Johnson on his Brexit plans and other ideas.
"A new prime minister needs the legitimacy of having made his arguments publicly and having them subjected to scrutiny.
"Only then can you walk through the front door of No 10 with your head held high instead of slinking through the back door, which is what Boris appears to want."
Urging Johnson to attend a TV debate proposed for Tuesday evening, June 25, Hunt added: "Don't be a coward Boris, man up and show the nation you can cope with the intense scrutiny the most difficult job in the country will involve."
Sky News said Johnson had so far declined its invitation to take part in Tuesday's head-to-head debate, and that it would reissue an invitation for a debate on July 1 instead.
Screams, shouts, bangs
Johnson, 55, was involved in a loud altercation early Friday, June 21, at the home of his 31-year-old girlfriend Carrie Symonds.
Neighbors called police after hearing screams, shouts and bangs at the south London property, shortly after Johnson had secured his place in the final run-off to become prime minister.
The couple, who were spoken to by officers but face no further action, have reportedly fled the home following the incident and a handful of anti-Johnson protesters gathering there Sunday, June 23.
Photographs emerged Monday of the couple smiling and holding hands at an undisclosed countryside location said to have been taken on Sunday.
When asked about the incident at a Conservative grassroots event the previous day, Johnson said: "I don't think people want to hear about that kind of thing."
He used his regular column in the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday to reiterate his commitment to delivering Brexit at the end of October, insisting he would not "bottle" it.
But an increasingly vocal band of Conservative MPs have indicated they could topple a Johnson government to prevent the country leaving the bloc without an agreement.
In comments for a BBC documentary to be aired Monday, defense minister Tobias Ellwood said around a dozen Tory lawmakers, including other ministers, would support a vote of no confidence to stop a no-deal Brexit. – Rappler.com

The shelling had finally ceased. Clambering back onto the roof of the ruined administratum building that served as her command post, Canoness Lucia Trevalyne surveyed the damage: the hive sector, already a battered skeleton after weeks of fighting, had been reduced further by the bombardment, its ruins bleached white with fungal rot and its streets scoured to the granite by viral-bomb impacts. Nothing remained alive in this sector– nothing, that was, except she and her Sisters.
By Confessor Mattias Elastor's count, he had voiced the Benediction of St. Cyrus twenty-two times in the last hour alone, and the Hymnal of St. Thor at Gathalamor another fifty-three. He couldn't remember when he had last slept, or for that matter, when he had last eaten anything—his fear had been overriding his hunger, and at some point it had turned into just a general, bone-hollow weariness. It was that, and the shrapnel that had lacerated his left leg, which had eventually forced him to stop moving and take shelter in the half-exposed second storey of this ruined Administratum office.


Private equity group Terra Firma has put 24 care homes run by brighterkind up for sale for £225m, the FT has reported.
Ownership of the private fee focused homes, which are the most profitable part of the Four Seasons portfolio, is still being disputed by the care home provider's leading creditor H/2 Capital after it lost a court battle to Terra Firma in June (see Terra Firma wins Four Seasons care home court battle).
Terra Firma is still in talks with H/2 Capital after agreeing to its terms for a takeover last year (see BREAKING NEWS: Four Seasons agrees to H/2 Capital's Four Seasons rescue plan).
A standstill and deferral agreement, introduced as part of the deal, was extended to October 19 earlier this month.
The deal included a £70m cash injection from H/2 Capital (see Four Seasons confirms £70m H/2 Capital lifeline), the appointment of former Barchester chair Margaret Ford as chairman in waiting and the appointment of a new set of directors in exchange for deferred interest rate payments.
The FT reported that Terra Firma's directors left the board last week, leaving a new team to finalise the restructuring agreement.
Four Seasons issued a profit warning last week with EBITDA now forecast at £35m, down from a previous forecast of £41m.
Terra Firma declined to comment when contact by CHP.

In case you didn't know, college basketball isn't really that far away.
Myron Medcalf of ESPN.com wrote a blog yesterday detailing some of his favorites for the Wooden Award. Medcalf listed to returning players, five freshmen and five sleeper picks.
Georges Niang — Iowa State power forward excels with an IQ and arsenal few bigs can match, and he's healthy again after suffering a foot injury during last season's NCAA tournament.
Juwan Staten — If you haven't heard of Staten (18.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 5.8 APG, 40 percent from the 3-point line for West Virginia last season), you will. Soon.
Marcus Foster — The sophomore could be one of America's breakout stars after leading Kansas State to the tourney last season.
Karl Towns/Tyler Ulis — Kentucky first-year players turned heads during recent Bahamas tour.
Kentucky — Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress, Aaron Harrison … take your pick. The whole team is a contender.
Andrew Harrison — Kentucky point guard will lead the deepest frontcourt in the country and most talented roster in America.
Fred Van Vleet (or Ron Baker) — Wichita State's point guard finished fourth nationally with a 4.02 assist-to-turnover ratio, and he'll take on a bigger scoring role this year. But Baker, a future pro wing, could ultimately represent Wichita State in the Wooden Award mix.
Cliff Alexander — Kansas freshman is trapped in a grown man's body.
Wayne Selden Jr. — KU star averaged 10.2 PPG next to Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, but now he's the man in Lawrence.
What do you think of these (very) early predictions for some of the best players in college basketball?


Today it's getting real over here. I'm kind of putting myself out on a limb here because I don't normally post serious stuff (I mean, its definitely less fun to read about). But I've been thinking about this for some time and thought today might be the day to just let it out.
There, I said it. Although I like my job, I know its not something I want to do for the rest of my life.
I always envied my friends in college who were Pre-Med. It was pretty clear they were going to be doctors and dentists. I was over here like "Hey guys, I'm majoring in Anthropology and Criminology because its cool." But what the heck do you do with those degrees?! Before that, I was a Chemistry major. Clearly that didn't work out.
Then I went to graduate school and earned my Master's degree in Political Management. Though I think I found my niche, there are still a lot of different paths I could take. After 6 years of school, lots of great experiences working in the Capitol building and where I am now, I'm still unsure.
So what am I doing about it? Well... if you expected me to come to some grand conclusion by the end of this post, I'm sorry to disappoint. I'm still figuring it out. I don't have everything together at the moment but I know I will find my passion eventually. Until then, I'm thankful for a paycheck, my education, and my amazingly supportive husband and family.
And if I'm being honest, what I'd really like to do is retire now, travel, and eat lots of cupcakes without any of the calories. Is that too much to ask?!
Linking up with Home of Malones and East Coast Chic!
Ohh I know there are so many of us in the same boat!! I was definitely envious of my friends in college that were medical majors or knew they were headed to law school to be a lawyer. Duh, they knew exactly what they were going to do after school. It's so tough finding what's going to make you happy for the rest of your life in work, but I think the best thing is that you are in a position that you are learning new things and still getting "professional" experience and that will lead you in the direction of the right job!! Or like me, have a baby and make that your full time job :) jk- kind of !!! Thanks for opening up to all of us and letting us know we aren't the only ones!!
I am right there with you! For now, I have settled for gaining as much experience as possible and learning everything I can from my current position, so that one day I can apply it all to my dream job...whatever that may be. I think there's a lot more people that have no clue what they want to do than we realize!
Thanks for getting serious with us! Happy Thursday!
That's what I'm thinking too! Make the most of my time in my current job and be prepared for that dream job that will hopefully come along when the time is right! Good luck friend!!
Definitely! I feel like a lot of people in their late twenties feel this way and I know I've felt lost in my career a lot over the last few years. Don't be afraid to make a change - it doesn't always have to be something big either. For me, I got laid off and found a new job working for a non-profit that benefits children, but I'm still working in marketing/advertising. Before I felt like my work didn't matter, but now I feel like I'm working for a good cause. Maybe even getting more involved in an organization/cause that you are interested in would help - even if it's just as a volunteer or something. Or even starting an Etsy shop or something similar on the side that involves a hobby you love. Sometimes that kind of thing can lead to something you love too. Just some thoughts I've had personally. You're not alone though!
I'm 38 and have been in my job 15 years. When I came out of college the internet was just beginning to be a part of our daily lives. Now I work for an internet company so I definitely didn't have an idea of where my career was going. I've found that my passion doesn't come from work, it comes from my family, friends, and faith. As long as I am respected and valued at my job and like who I work with and for, then I can be happy in my job. I think sometimes we put too much emphasis on what we do for a living - the important thing is how we live.
I definitely agree, I definitely find my passion outside of work with family, friends, etc. (and blogging!). I'm still envious of those who have it all, but maybe the career thing is just further down the road for me! Who knows! Thank you so much for your comments though, love the support!
DEFINITELY in the same boat! I'm so envious (and at the same time, lucky) that my husband knows exactly what he wants to do, has been doing it since he graduated college, and still enjoys it. Other than wanting to rescue every dog possible, I can't think of anything else I'm really passionate about that I could make a career out of. You are not alone, friend.
PS - I really like what Kelly said!
Love this post...I have absolutely NO IDEA what I want to do or be. Dream job is doing something that makes a difference and helps/inspires others. But there are fun jobs like event planning and wedding industry stuff that I love too. Ughhh!!! Xxxx.
Oh I hear ya! Still not in an ideal field (finance? fun?) but I LOVE my coworkers and because of that, I'm content to be there an indefinite amount of time. You may not have your one-true-job picked out yet, but you can only get closer with the next one, right? If I see any job openings for low-cal, super-yummy cupcake tasters, I'll be sure to let you know immediately ha.
I'm right there with you girl! I'd love to just be able to retire now and travel the world and do whatever I want. That'd be amazing!
I can totally relate! Prior to staying home with my son I was not in my dream job, I've had a few "careers" since college and I have never loved any of them. At best I've tolerated them. I have so many friends who love their jobs and feel so fulfilled which I was always so envious of. Even though I'm home now I want to go back to work one day but I have no idea what I will do. Good luck on your search to find what you love!
Girl I am right there with you. I really, really wish I went to school to be a veterinarian. I know yada,yada it's not too late. But the thought of going to school again (and going into debt again) makes me think twice about it. I say we will be 90 and still trying to figure it all out!
Sooo in the same boat as you! I left a career that I worked so hard to get into... but that just wasn't for me. Shortly after that... we moved over to Ireland. I am so nervous to move back and figure it all out. And seriously feel like I should have it all figured out by now. Thanks so much for the post... always nice knowing you're not alone.


The education board met Tuesday night and, after discussion that chairman Dave Lewson described as "often emotional," agreed unanimously to cut services including the bus to and from the magnet school and after school hours at the Redding Elementary School library.
Also cut was the purchase of 5th-grade social studies books and pre-algebra texts for the middle school, and the purchase of new software programs.
"They were hard cuts to make," Lewson said Wednesday. "They went directly to educational services that we need to deliver to our students. We started out with a lean and responsible budget so any cuts we make directly effects our students."
The $125,000 eduction budget cut was part of the $450,000 that Redding's Board of Finance has required cut from the overall $43.7 million town and schools budget as a result of the defeat of the budget on May 6.
The town was required to cut $75,000 and it was decided that the $750,000 planned to be raised to return to the fund balance would be cut to $200,000. Finance board chairman Bill Alvarez contacted the Region 9 school board and requested that it cut $50,000 from Redding's required $10.97 million portion of the Joel Barlow High School budget.
Selectmen meet Monday to find areas that can be cut in their $12.15 million budget that was already a reduction over the present fiscal year's.

El Cerrón es una montaña del Sistema Central español situada en el cordal central de la sierra de Ayllón, en el término municipal de El Cardoso de la Sierra, al noroeste de la provincia de Guadalajara. Con sus 2197 metros de altitud es la tercera montaña más alta de la sierra de Ayllón, tras el pico del Lobo (2274 msnm) y Las Peñuelas (2211 msnm).

Orografía
Consta de un pico principal y varias lomas y subsidiarios. De norte a sur, desde el collado de Canchos Buenos (2021 msnm), que conecta con el alto de la Majada de los Carneros (2079 msnm), hasta los collados de la Ortigosa (1996 msnm) y del Agua Fría (1995 msnm), que conecta con el pico Santuy (1927 msnm) y con el cerro del Picaño (2046 msnm), y con el Cerrón en medio, se extiende la loma del Agua Fría. Hacia el noreste desde el pico principal se extiende la loma de Cabeza Pinillo (2061 msnm). Al este del pico principal se eleva el Matarredonda (2065 msnm).

Hidrografía
En sus faldas nacen varios arroyos que discurren hacia el sur hasta desembocar tras escaso recorrido en los ríos del Ermito, al oeste, y Berbellido, al este, donde se sitúan los puntos mínimos del Cerrón.

Flora
La cumbre está prácticamente libre de vegetación salvo algunos matorrales. A mitad de la montaña se extienden a ambos lados sendos bosques de coníferas, principalmente pinos
