At Monday's monthly council meeting, some councillors said they had been surprised to learn of plans to put three of the city's major cycle-lane projects on hold for the time being.
"A huge amount of work has gone into this project by staff, a huge amount of work has gone into it by councillors, and a lot of work has gone into it by residents' associations," said Labour Councillor Dermot Lacey on the deferral of the one of the routes, the Dodder Greenway.
Alongside that greenway, the Clonskeagh-to-City Centre route and the Grand Canal Greenway have also been suspended for now.
For cycling advocates, the delay is being read as yet another sign that cycling infrastructure is a low priority for transport planners.
Green Party Councillor Ciaran Cuffe said last week that he knew there was slippage on new cycle lanes, but this recent update shows just how much they have stalled.
There are at least three different explanations for the projects being put on hold, and it's not clear which one is correct – or whether they all are.
First, there's the Luas Cross City.
A spokesperson for the National Transport Authority, Jackie Mullen, said that, at the moment, the Luas Cross City and other city centre traffic projects need the full resources of Dublin City Council.
"As the various projects linked to Luas Cross City are progressed, resources will then be released to reactivate the other projects," she said. The Luas Cross City is due to be completed by the end of next year.
But Fine Gael Councillor Paddy McCartan said on Monday that he wants to know a concrete time line. "Does that mean a year, or does it mean two years?" he said.
Second, there's the idea that the projects are complicated, and might strain the council's engineering resources.
Labour's Dermot Lacey said he thought the delays over the Dodder Greenway were a symptom of the ambitious plan that the National Transport Authority might have for the route.
He wants it to be a simpler cycleway.
But as a long cycleway that aims to attract both tourists and commuters, the route isn't going to be a little path, said Fine Gael's Ruairi McGinley.
As McGinley sees it, the objection is down to National Transport Authority concerns about the lack of engineering resources in Dublin City Council. But these are regional projects and so other councils' engineering resources should also be taken into account, he said.
Third, there's the argument that the Department of Transport simply hasn't provided enough funding.
Dublin City Council Chief Executive Owen Keegan said there is an issue with funding that has been given to the NTA. "There was a significant under-allocation in terms of what was sought for those softer modes," he said.
Green Party Councillor Cuffe, and other councillors, said they intend to apply pressure on Minister for Transport Shane Ross to get him to provide the money needed to push forward with the projects.
"You can't talk enthusiastically about sustainable transport, if you're not providing the funding to deliver on it," said Cuffe.
A Department of Transport spokesperson didn't respond directly to queries about whether the department is adequately funding cycling and walking, or whether Minister Ross might review the current funding pledges.
These 'greenways' are a distraction IMHO. They would be far better off sorting out the lack of safe cycle lanes in the city center first rather than trying to encourage more cyclists in from the suburbs- it will only lead to more accidents and deaths. Sorting out Westmoreland Street, the Quays etc., should be a priority first.
The Dodder route seems to me to be totally unnecessary – there are wide roads with cycle lanes already on those routes, or indeed the wide manly unused footpath in those areas could far easier accommodate cycle lanes than tearing up the lovely Dodder walk and making it a nightmare for walkers. I cycle myself but would hate to see the relaxed nature of the Dodder walk being ruined by bikes speeding through. The Dodder walk is a welcome relief from traffic – any traffic – which is hard enough to find anywhere in the city as car/bus noise is relentless everywhere in Dublin. Also there is minimal lighting on the Dodder route – unless they plan to light the entire route it will make it very dangerous in the evenings to walk.
I cycle the Dodder route (what there is of it) every day. There is no conflict with walkers.

Q: set-alias to executable plus command-line option In PowerShell, & "C:\Program Files\Java\jre-9.0.1\bin\jjs.exe" --language=es6 gives me access to the Nashorn interpreter for ES6.  I want to create an alias for exactly this.  How can I create an alias to start this process with the desired command-line option?

A: Putting Mathias's comment as an answer. You should create it as a function and finally you can call the function wherever you need it just by the name.

"A red face in the center of the cross
between light and darkness cries:
'My God, my God, why did you abandon me?'"
(Mark 15:34)
Christ Images, Seasonal & Festal
As soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so." 3 Then the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 Pilate asked him again, "Have you no answer? See how many charges they bring against you." 5 But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.
6 Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for whom they asked. 7 Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom. 9 Then he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" 10 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. 12 Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?" 13 They shouted back, "Crucify him!" 14 Pilate asked them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him!" 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.
16 Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. 18 And they began saluting him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19 They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. 20 After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
21 They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. 22 Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take. 25 It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews." 27 And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. 28 29 Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!" 31 In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.
33 When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah." 36 And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." 37 Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"
40 There were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 These used to follow him and provided for him when he was in Galilee; and there were many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem. 42 When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Then Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for some time. 45 When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 Then Joseph bought a linen cloth, and taking down the body, wrapped it in the linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid.

The Coastal Taipan is a dangerous venomous snake that can bite repeatedly when cornered. It is light to dark brown above with paler sides. The underside is cream to yellow often with orange spots or flecks. The head is large and distinct, paler than the body, particularly on the snout. The iris is orange-brown.
The Coastal Taipan is one of the deadliest species of snakes in the world. It has large fangs and highly toxic venom. The poison from the bite causes headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and dizziness. Blurred vision follows, sometimes accompanied by convulsions and, in severe cases, coma. The poison is also a myotoxin - it eats away at muscle tissue. Kidney failure is a common complication in serious snake-bites and can cause death. The snake rarely attacks humans except in self-defense.

"Foxy Lady" (or alternatively "Foxey Lady") is a song by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It first appeared on their 1967 debut album 'Are You Experienced' and was later issued as their third single in the U.S. with the alternate spelling. It is one of Hendrix's best-known songs and was frequently performed in concerts throughout his career. Prior to the recording, the group had not worked out an ending for the song and bassist Noel Redding claimed that using the last IV chord was his idea. Hendrix biographer Harry Shapiro suggests that song's lyrics were inspired by Heather Taylor, who later married Roger Daltrey of the Who. Hendrix later commented that he did not approach women in such a straightforward manner as the lyrics suggested. Lithofayne "Faye" Pridgon, Hendrix's girlfriend in the mid 1960s, has also been suggested as the inspiration for the song.

EFFECT OF GLOBALIZATION ON NATIONAL SECURITY
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study
While the international order among states is quite strong, the world is not peaceful. In the wake of globalization and the explosion in communication technologies, new security related threats have Emerged that are to a great extent independent of national boundaries. As a result, a new kind of war is being waged in every country all over the world; this is because the primary threats to national security have changed fundamentally. They no longer spring from territorial and ideological disputes among nation states but from how far globalization, technological threats and criminal networks have grown to challenge nation states (Zalur & Zeckhauser 2002). In Nigeria today, conflict seem persistent and intractable, moreover after a decade of complacency, we seem to be finally grasping the fact that we are fighting for survival under the shadow of catastrophic dangers. Hence, discussions on Nigerian National Security concept has evolved rapidly because the security environment in which we live is dynamic and uncertain, replete with a host of threats and challenges which are trans-national in nature that have potential to grow more deadly (Pandya & Laipon, 2008:39). Emerging scenario of these trans-national threats which are irrespective of national border and which comprises of a list of different risk factors that seem unending spanning from different trans-national crimes like terrorism, human and drug trafficking, money laundering etc, to widespread environmental degradation, diseases, climate change and even political policies which might threaten our nation's sovereignty (Brainard & Halon, 2004), has further challenged the concept of national security which now pertains to people rather than territories on one hand and development rather than military on the other hand. Now, the notion of national security captures the traditional security and human security. National security is now perceived as total security – security of life and property, security of the economy and the economic resource areas of the country, security of food and raw materials resources, of general health of the people, of environment and national integrity, and preservation of all that society considers to be important and valuable (Imobighe, 2000). Globalization and increased technology has led to the decline of our borders which has led to the increased vulnerability of Nigeria to there threats and endanger our national security. The Nigeria – Benin border, which is located in the west of our country, is particularly notorious for all sorts of illegal trans-border activities. For this reason, this research work will attempt to discuss Human and drug trafficking, smuggling of goods and arms proliferation and the dangers they pose to Nigerian national security because these activities are the most common across the Nigeria – Benin border. The dilemmas that Nigeria faces with insecurities call for critical investigation of border entry points whether they are performing their strategic functions (Willie, 2008).
1.2 statement of the problem Globalization, have important security implications. Most dangerously, a variety of threats have become global in scope and more serious in their effects as a result of the spread of knowledge, the dispersion of advanced technologies, and the movements of people. These same developments, combined with expanding global economic interactions, contribute to some of the problems and resentments that lie at the root of these security threats. But paradoxically, many of those same aspects of globalization offer new opportunities to achieve economic growth and democracy, thereby ameliorating the threats as well as some of their underlying causes. The dangers were clearly manifested in the September 11th terrorist attacks, which showed how the Al Qaeda organization was able effectively to exploit new communications technologies, global financial networks, and the ease of movements of people. The response by the international community has also benefited from some of globalization's effects, primarily in technological advances in communications and in military weaponry. While it is too soon to say definitively, the result of these attacks may be to dampen some of the globalizing trends, as financial interactions receive greater scrutiny and security steps limit the mobility of people. Exploring the many issues raised by the September 11th terrorist attacks is not this paper's task, nor is assessing the relationship between terrorism and globalization. 1.3. Objectives of the Study The specific or the main objectives of carrying out this research work includes: 1. To examine the nature and dynamics of transnational threats. 2. To examine the peculiar transnational threats pronging the Nigeria – Benin border. 3. To explore the impacts of transnational threat to Nigeria's national security 4. To inform policy that will isolate Nigeria from transnational threats.
1.4. Research Hypothesis Hypothesis is a tentative generation, the validity of which remains to be tested. In its most elementary stage the hypothesis may be any hunch, guess, imaginative idea, which becomes basis for action or investigation. To achieve the desired objective, the research has the following declarative hypothesis to validate or invalidate at the end of the research. 1. Globalization trends increases incidence of transnational threats 2. The weakness of the state tends to engender transnational threats 3. Nigeria border security tends to be hampered by transnational threats 4. The higher the level of globalization and transnational threat the poorer the state of national security.
1.5. Scope and Limitations of the Study This research will be limited to the major transnational crimes along the Nigeria – Benin border. They include smuggling and trafficking in arms and weapons, drugs, humans and goods such as cars and petroleum products. The study will analyze and examine these transnational threats and how they affect our national security. However in the course of this research, the researcher may exceed the boundary of his study as an instrument of explanation. A study like this will have limitation such as time constraints, finances, mobility to acquire adequate materials and literature on the subject matter under study.

DC Bureau
CDC: You can ditch the mask in most places, indoors and out, if fully vaccinated
By: Laura Olson - May 13, 2021 4:58 pm
A sign outside the Richmond registrar's office, an early voting site, encourages people to wear masks and practice social distancing. (Ned Oliver/Virginia Mercury)
WASHINGTON — Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear a mask in most situations, indoors and outdoors, federal health officials said in an updated set of recommendations Thursday that marks a major turning point in the pandemic.
The announcement is a shift from earlier federal guidance, which had urged people who are vaccinated to continue wearing a face mask when indoors with anyone not vaccinated or when in large-group settings.
With a larger share of Americans vaccinated and a growing stack of studies confirming the vaccines' effectiveness, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the science is clear on taking additional steps toward life before the pandemic.
"We have all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy," Walensky said. "Based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases, the scientific data on the performance of our vaccines, and our understanding of how the virus spreads, that moment has come."
The policy change applies to people who are "fully" vaccinated. That means at least two weeks have passed since receiving a second COVID-19 vaccine dose, for those who got the Pfizer or Moderna shot, or after getting the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.
One key exception to the new mask recommendation is for public transportation. Masks still must be worn on airplanes, trains and buses.
The CDC guidance doesn't alter state and local rules for mask-wearing. The agency noted that individuals still must follow those local regulations and any rules enacted by private businesses, which may continue to require masks.
The announcement follows a growing wave of criticism that the CDC has gone too slowly in loosening its guidance on what vaccinated people should and should not do, and where face masks need to be worn.
Public health experts have lambasted the agency's instruction on mask-wearing at summer camps as needlessly strict. A New York Times analysis was skeptical of the agency's claims on outdoor transmission, calling it "misleading" and inflated.
Asked if the agency was responding to changes in science or to the public backlash, Walensky cited the plummeting tally of U.S. infections, which have dropped by one-third in the last two weeks. She also pointed to the increase in vaccine availability and the broader eligibility for those as young as 12 years old.
The eased guidelines are not intended as another technique to incentivize those who have not yet received a vaccine, Walensky added, saying the agency sought to follow the science available.
More than 46 percent of the entire U.S. population has received at least one vaccine, and 35 percent are fully vaccinated, according to CDC data. President Joe Biden has set a goal of having 70 percent of U.S. adults receive at least one dose by July 4, and so far, 59 percent of that age group has one shot.
Dropping masks among vaccinated Americans will be one of the most visible steps toward resuming pre-pandemic activities.
The excitement around doing so could be seen at the White House, where Biden met Thursday afternoon with a group of Republican senators, including Sens. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Mike Crapo of Idaho, and Roy Blunt of Missouri.
GOP lawmakers told reporters afterward that they took off their masks in the Oval Office when they heard the CDC's announcement — and that Biden did the same.

Do you have an old, unused, damaged or unwanted car? Are you wondering what you should do with it, given that no conventional buyer would be interested in it? You may have probably heard about car removal services in Perth, but you have doubts about the whole idea and you are in the dark on how you should proceed. Well, here are a few interesting facts about scrap car removal in Perth to help you get a better understanding of how you can easily sell just any kind of car in Perth.
With car removal services in Perth, you don't have to worry about a long and winded process usually associated with selling a car the traditional way. You don't have to advertise or beg the dealers to accept your car and also you don't have to worry about carrying out an appraisal on the car. All you need is make a call to a reputable company such as Car Wrecker Perth and ask for an offer, which if you accept, your car will be removed at your earliest convenience.
If you were to sell or wanting to get rid of your car to a scrap metal company, then you would be compelled to deliver the car to their yards, thus incurring towing expenses in the process. But with Car Wrecker Perth, the removal company will offer free towing so that you don't spend a single coin in the entire process.
Whether you have an old Utes, an accident truck or an inoperable sedan, all these will be accepted by the removal company. This is one of the beauties of working with car Removal Company compared to trying to sell the car elsewhere. With the car removal companies, you are guaranteed to sell your car, irrespective of the make, shape, model, age or any other condition the car might be in.
If you were to sell your car to any other buyer or dealer, then it will be imperative for you to have all the relevant registration documents, without which, selling the car would be impossible. But with car removal companies, you don't have to worry about having the registration documents since there are many ways they can make money from your car. This is why people are able to sell cars which has stalled for decades and whose documents they no longer have.
For reliable car removal service in Perth, contact Car Wrecker Perth at 0497 843 353.

I went out for my first run since I had laser eye surgery yesterday. I've been desperate to go out for a run. I didn't want to push too hard and was looking to have a social run, but I didn't see anyone I knew who was going to be running at a conversational pace – possibly because it was cold, wet and windy.
Now, I just need to start eating healthily again and get back on the training wagon, to knock three+ minutes off that time!
Clearly, if I want to receive a cheerful email, I need to go out at a fast pace on my first run of the month!
I read this post on RunKeeper this week: Brian: Losing 365 pounds and getting my life back. It's really inspirational, so I urge you to read it.
GarminConnect is my main tracker, but I quite like what Strava does. I also like their new code of conduct: Stand with us.
I'm also doing Jantastic again this year. It's a challenge that runs through January, February and March, where you set your own goals and then aim to meet them. I had to reset my goals as I had intended to swim at least twice a week throughout January. I'm not allowed to swim again for a few more weeks, so I had to change that goal.
This morning, Teri and I had agreed to run, but she also needed to go to junior parkrun with her children, so I agreed to go along and marshal as well before we went for our run.
Initially, I didn't think it was very cold out as there wasn't any frost, but after standing around for just over half an hour, I was definitely feeling the cold. I took off my jogging trousers and put them in Teri's car, but couldn't bring myself to remove my running jacket as I just had a short-sleeved t-shirt on underneath.
We started off at a steady pace – mainly because I couldn't go any faster. We ran around Riverside Park, which was a nice change from running on The Common. Then we headed along some of the route of Southampton Half Marathon. It's quite hilly, so I know that I need to do lots of hill-training between now and April.
On the way to The Common, we saw Irene and Alice from Lordshill Road Runners, then on The Common, we saw Rob and Nick out running. It's lovely that whenever I go for a run I see people I know.
It's a smoky bbq type chilli as a consequence of the chipotle paste and the molasses. It's also a dish that improves after a day or two. I quite often cook large one-pot meals like this, so that I don't need to cook every day.
As I've not been able to go out and exercise, I've watched a few TV programmes online. I finally had a chance to watch 'The Adventure Show' on BBC iPlayer. The episode that I was interested in was episode 5, which is one that focused on a group of cyclists doing an Audax event in Scotland. This is something that I would like to do one day, but I need to build up my cycling quite a lot before it happens!

Japanese Kendama game gets a digital upgrade and a Kickstarter campaign
Haje Jan Kamps	4 years
Like all good games, Kendama is easy-ish to learn and frustrating as all ever-loving £%&*@£^% to master. What's a poor entrepreneur to do when a game hasn't changed for 400 years? Rename it Dendama, add a boat-load of electronics, invent a slew of multiplayer games and launch a Kickstarter campaign, of course.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/358927398/dendama-the-smart-kendama-take-on-the-world
Watching someone who knows what to do with a Kendama is mesmerizing; it's much like a yo-yo, except with a number of additional dimensions added. For the digital Dendama edition, the company adds a huge amount of additional features to the device. Dendama connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth, and uses a giant stack of sensors to understand exactly what you're doing. This is fed back to the phone, and it scores your efforts.
The company has created a number of new ways of playing, including a battle mode, quest mode, a training mode to perfect tricks and a co-op mode. It sounds a little bit as if the team just brainstormed a load of new games that could be done by digitally enhancing an old-fashioned toy, but the important thing is that this is hella fun.
I tried Dendama at TechCrunch Tokyo at the tail-end of last year, and I've got to say: This is about as much fun as you can have without wearing Speedos. Although, come to think of it, there's literally nothing stopping you from playing Dendama in a Speedo. I expect one of you to rise to the challenge and post a video in the comments below. (Actually, maybe not.) In any case — as a rank beginner, I enjoyed being shown the ropes of how to wave the stick, rope and balls in the air to perform tricks. The digital integration is much more than a gimmick; the team has done a fantastic job adding a layer of interactivity to an established juggling toy.
Famous last words perhaps… but this Kickstarter campaign looks like it might be lower risk than most. The company already completed a small $10,000 crowdfunding campaign on the Japanese Makuake site, and the main purpose of the Kickstarter campaign appears to be to take on the not insignificant number of Kendama players internationally.
Don't miss the company's Kickstarter campaign to see how "You can take the safe route of doing rapid easy tricks or live on the edge and go for that one trick that will make it rain down like a storm on your opponent." Legendary.

Q: Problem with importing module for opening some files Doing some practice in Python. I created a module with function to count words in text files.
import sys

sys.path.append('/home/yuriy/Dropbox/Prog/Python/learning/em book/ch 10/text_files/')

def count_words(file):

    try:
        with open(file) as file_object:
            content = file_object.read()
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("File cannot be found")
    except ModuleNotFoundError:
        print("Module cannot be found")
    else:
        words = content.split()
        num_words = len(words)
        result = f"{file} has {num_words} ~words in it"
        print(result)

But when I import this and try to use it with one or multiple files, it gives me back an FileNotFoundError
import sys

sys.path.append('/home/yuriy/Dropbox/Prog/Python/learning/em book/ch 10/modules/')

import def_count_words

files = ['blank.txt','learning_python.txt']

for file in files:
    res = def_count_words.count_words(file)
    print(res)

Here is the screenshot of directory i am working in:

The .py file I am working in is ch 10_test.py
I am clearly missing something or doing something wrong and I can't get my head around it.

A: The sys.path is a list of directories that python is using to look up for modules. It will not use these directories to look for files in general. You can use os.path.join to create a full path for your files:
base_dir = '/home/yuriy/Dropbox/Prog/Python/learning/em book/ch 10/text_files/'

myfile = open(os.path.join(base_dir, file))

Drop in grape consumption in Italy and Europe
Starting from the week before mid-August, the demand for grapes seems to have decreased. The reduction concerns both seeded and seedless grapes. Consumption has stagnated not only on the domestic market, but above all with various European customers. Germany is the country with the biggest drop, followed by Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Orders in these markets have fallen by 15-20%, at a time when Italian production has increased by 30% since the beginning of August," explained the entrepreneur Donato Fanelli.
"This is a physiological drop, which is typical and expected every year, but which has never occurred for seedless varieties, which are so sought-after and appreciated by buyers and consumers. Supplies usually tend to be reduced at this time of year, as August is the typical summer holiday period, and this causes a bottleneck in the sale of certain fruit and vegetable products such as grapes. We are also facing very aggressive competition from Spain, which has more hectares of seedless grapes this year."
"The current commercial situation should make us reconsider the future development of seedless grapes," Fanelli concludes. These varieties, in fact, seem to be offered and treated like traditional grapes, with an approach based solely and exclusively on price. Therefore, what is the point of investing time and resources in varietal and process innovation, if the remunerative results are then identical to those of traditional cultivars?" - concluded Fanelli.

L'ermita de Sant Roc, localitzada en el camí conegut com a Baixada de Sant Roc, a Espadella, a la comarca de l'Alt Millars, és un lloc proposat per ser catalogat com a Bé de rellevància local, als corresponents catàlegs municipals de béns i espais protegits i que, havent estat tramitats conforme al procediment ordinari establert en l'article 47 de la Llei 4/1998, d'11 de juny, de la Generalitat, del Patrimoni Cultural Valencià, compten amb l'informe favorable de la conselleria competent en matèria de cultura, faltant l'aprovació definitiva per l'organisme competent en matèria d'urbanisme; amb la categoria de Monument d'interès local, i amb un codi d'identificació: 12.08.058-004, a 18 de desembre de 2013.

Descripció
L'ermita se situa en una zona d'hortes a uns 100 metres del nucli poblacional i en la ribera del riu Millars, i per arribar a ella cal prendre un estret camí de gran desnivell, que porta des del carrer de les Eres fins als afores del poble, està asfaltat, per la qual cosa el seu accés amb cotxe és possible.

Està datada del  i el seu estat de conservació és molt bo, ja que va ser objecte d'una restauració que va finalitzar l'any 2001, i duta a terme per l'Associació Cultural Amics de Sant Roc, que és l'associació que s'encarrega del seu manteniment.

Es tracta d'un edifici exempt, amb una zona enjardinada al voltant delimitada per un muret d'obra de poca altura, amb entrada per un buit sense cap trava per al seu accés, en el qual s'ha situat un retaule ceràmic en el qual figura el nom de l'ermita. Construït en maçoneria i reforços de carreu, presenta sostrada a dues aigües.

L'accés al temple es fa a través d'un atri, de menor altura que la planta de l'ermita, cobert amb teulada a tres aigües, amb tres arcs de mig punt, per un dels quals es realitza l'accés a la porta d'entrada, i un petit banc corregut. Aquest arc de mig punt, està emmarcat per dovelles de maó refractant, que es recolzen en pilastres llises, davant de les quals s'han col·locat sengles maceteros amb plantes. El sòl està pavimentat amb pedres que formen un dibuix ornamental circular, a l'interior del qual es distingeix una flor de sis pètals. Per la seva banda la porta d'accés al temple, és de fusta i presenta llindar, i presenta un petit graó.

La part de la façana principal de l'ermita que se sobri surt a l'atri, presenta forma de frontó i com única decoració cal destacar una curiosa fornícula, amb una vistosa llinda (recta en la part de baix i acabada en arc de mig punt realitzat, novament, amb maons refractants), dins de la qual se situa un retaule ceràmic amb la imatge del sant titular, Sant Roc. Aquest frontó acaba en un capcer que exerceix la funció d'espadanya (rematada amb una creu de forja), en la qual s'observa una situa campana. Aquesta campana es diu María, està datada de 1703 i té un diàmetre de 26 centímetres i un pes de 10 quilos. Antany va estar a l'església parroquial de espadilla, però fa pocs de temps s'ubicà en aquesta ermita.

Per la seva banda, en les façanes laterals s'obren finestres, una per cada lateral, i en la façana posterior existeixen dues petites obertures, així com una obertura de forma circular que està encegat amb maons.

Respecte al seu interior, presenta planta de nau única i forma rectangular, amb unes mesures de 8 metres de profunditat i 5,5 metres d'amplària. Com a decoració interior solament destaca la talla de Sant Roc que presideix l'altar major.

If you're a subscriber to Brasscheck, you probably know our government is dishonest, to say the least.
But what are the inside interests that are running the show?
There's a complex financial system at work behind the scenes, and it has been the real government of the United States since the days of Andrew Jackson.
Let's take a look at "the man behind the curtain".

Q: Time to loop using long and double Following piece of code is take different timing with long and double, not able to understand why there is the difference in the timing?
public static void main(String[] args) {
        long j = 1000000000;
        double k = 1000000000;

        long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int index = 0; index < j; index++) {

        }
        long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (int index = 0; index < k; index++) {

        }

        long t3 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        long longTime = t2 - t1;
        long doubleTime = t3 - t2;
        System.out.println("Time to loop long :: " + longTime);
        System.out.println("Time to loop double :: " + doubleTime);
    }

Output:

Time to loop long :: 2322
Time to loop double :: 1510

long is taking longer time than double, I have 64 bit window operating system and 64 bit Java.
When I modified my code and add casting long and double to int like
public static void main(String[] args) {
        long j = 1000000000;
        double k = 1000000000;

        long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int index = 0; index < (int)j; index++) {

        }
        long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (int index = 0; index < (int)k; index++) {

        }

        long t3 = System.currentTimeMillis();

        long longTime = t2 - t1;
        long doubleTime = t3 - t2;
        System.out.println("Time to loop long :: " + longTime);
        System.out.println("Time to loop double :: " + doubleTime);
    }

The time got reduced but still there is the difference in the timing, but this time double is taking more time than long(opposite of first case)
Output:

Time to loop long :: 760
Time to loop double :: 1030

A: Firstly, a long is a 64-bit integer and a double is a 64-bit floating point number. The timing difference will likely be due to the difference in optimisation between integer arithmetic and floating point arithmetic in your CPU's ALU.
Secondly, the second time you run your application, in each for loop, the loop evaluates the stop condition every time, so you're casting from a long and double to an integer respectively on every iteration. If you precast the value to an integer value before the loop's condition then you should get more consistent times:
int j_int = (int) j;
for(int index = 0; index < j_int; index++) { /* Body */ }

int k_int = (int) k;
for(int index = 0; index < k_int; index++) { /* Body */ }

A: In general, casting from long to int is simpler than from double to int.
The reason is that long and int are both whole numbers and represented in memory simply by their binary representation (and possibly one bit for the sign).
Casting from one to another is quite straightforward by just "cropping" or "extending" the memory area (and handling signs correctly).
However, double are floating point numbers and their binary representation a bit more complicated, using sign, mantissa and exponent.
Casting from here to whole numbers thus is more complicated, as it requires conversion from one binary format to the other first.

Rutherford (5-2) maintained its hold on a state playoff berth with a 35-28 victory at Glen Rock on Saturday.
Becton (4-3) added points to its state playoff bid with a 48-0 win at Wood-Ridge on Friday night.
Lyndhurst (4-3) won its third game in a row, this time, 35-20, at Garfield on Friday, but appear to be looking outside in with the playoffs.
And Queen of Peace (2-5) was officially eliminated from the state playoffs after falling 45-22 to Saddle Brook on Friday night.
North Arlington (1-5) just did not have enough against Palisades Park, 34-6, on Friday night on the road.

Q: ApplySimple Formula for Current year in Microstrategy I'd like to nkow how to extract the current year using an ApplySimple formula for an Oracle DB being used on microstrategy.
The formula I tried is :
ApplySimple("to_char(SYSTIMESTAMP,'Year')")
Even though this formula is a valid one - when I try using this formula to create an attribute , and display it in a report , I get no results( blank column )
What I'm essentially trying to do is compare this current year attribute to another year attribute and create  afilter based on this.
Any help wll be much appreciated!

A: I wouldn't bother with ApplySimple at all, it can be done directly in a filter.
Qualify on the attribute form that you want to compare (presumably the Year ID), and then in the Operator section, change the dropdown from its default 'Value' to 'Custom'.
This allows you to use MicroStrategy's built-in functions in your qualification. The current year can be returned by putting:
Year(CurrentDate())

for your comparison.

A: Are you sure you want to compare the string "twenty fourteen"? Because, TO_CHAR(SYSTIMESTAMP,'year') would return that. Instead, you might need the YYYY format :
TO_CHAR(SYSTIMESTAMP,'YYYY')
But that is still a string.
You probably need NUMBER :
So, I would prefer, EXTRACT(YEAR FROM SYSTIMESTAMP) Because, this will return 2014 as NUMBER.
SQL> SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM SYSTIMESTAMP) FROM DUAL;

EXTRACT(YEARFROMSYSTIMESTAMP)
-----------------------------
                         2014

Formula
If the attribute is NUMBER data type, you might need this formula :
ApplySimple("EXTRACT(YEAR FROM SYSTIMESTAMP)")

The Double Standards of Liberals
by Dave Pellowe | 2 Jan, 2019 | Opinion
Context and explanation meant absolutely nothing to the outraged leftist media complex collaborating with self-interested politicians when accusing Senator Fraser Anning of Nazi levels of racism for saying the words "final solution".
Senator Anning declared, "In the days of Menzies, immigrants arriving here were not allowed to apply for welfare and that attracted exactly the right sort of hard-working people this country needed. We should go back to that and ban all immigrants receiving welfare for the first five years after they arrive. The final solution to the immigration problem is, of course, a popular vote."
Turnbull called the reference a "shocking insult" to the Jewish people. Left, right and centre, people rushed to condemn Fraser Anning's entire speech on the strength of a phrase commonly associated with Adolf Hitler, despite the Senator's protestations that he had not intended any reference to Nazism.
There was plenty wrong with Senator Anning's speech and policies – plenty; but Nazism wasn't one of them. If the media & political classes had stuck to the facts and dealt with what was unworkable and unpopular their commentary would have been less hysterical and more credible.
But when one of their own made the outrageous comparison of Australia's offshore detention policies to Nazi concentration camps, all of a sudden the progressive liberals were once again capable of nuance and appreciation of context and intent.
Father Bob Maguire, a loveable octogenarian known for a larrikin defiance of authority, caring for homeless youth and advocacy of left-wing politics, casually tweeted his thoughts that haunting photos of the Nazi's concentration camp at Auschwitz reminded him of tweeted photos of transferees on Manus Island.
The fact of this flippant comparison is that it is profoundly ignorant of the liberty and choices afforded transferees, bar residency in Australia. Photos taken through fences conveniently exclude a wide open gate just out of frame. Transferees are free to come and go as they please on the tropical island, getting local employment, going to local schools and shops, even marrying locals. 71 of them recently declined an invitation to live without welfare in the United States. I replied to Bob's tweet with photos of Auschwitz prisoners contrasted with photos transferees had famously taken of themselves frolicking on the idyllic beaches of Manus Island.
Really? pic.twitter.com/kda8ROfIOY
— Dave Pellowe ?? (@DavePellowe) December 29, 2018
Father Bob's comparison is not only indulgent hyperbole, but it's deeply offensive to survivors of the Holocaust. Responding to the rush from progressive liberals to explain and excuse the comparison, the Australian Jewish Association commented, "The Holocaust was a systematic attempt on an industrial scale to exterminate an entire people. Whatever your views on off-shore detention, it is nothing of the sort and to try to link one with the other is outrageous."
One of those very liberal NSW Liberal members called the critique Bob received "hatred for an inelegantly drafted tweet", and ridiculously suggested "the Right" was less upset about sexual assault in churches. At least he didn't say far right or alt right, correctly identifying that many people on the Left have infiltrated the Liberal Party.
Kristina Keneally asked her Twitter followers if Father Bob should be named Australian of the Year instead of Alexander Downer, one of those critiquing the regrettable tweet. The echo chamber provided the desired response to the personality poll, which the Left must suppose will do instead of an actual argument.
Protesting at the "abuse" (a.k.a. critique) he was receiving, Father Bob's explanation without apology was, "I simply said the barbed wire of the Auschwitz Museum photos REMIND me of a dehumanising detention camp operating on our watch."
This kind of rhetoric is exciting to liberals who simply adore an emotion-laden dog whistle regardless of its veracity. Led by their feelings and partisan loyalty, they relish any opportunity to marginalise people who dare to dissent from their dogma as "Nazis".
Perennial show-pony Rod Bower unhelpfully changed his poetically corroded street sign to enjoin, "Manus is how the Holocaust started." I'm quite certain Nazis had no need for New Guinea let alone Manus Island. The Holocaust started with a despotic tyrant determined to divide society by identity and marginalise those he conveniently blamed for perceived problems.
Standing with Comrade in Alms @FatherBob What we have done on #Manus does not necessarily lead to the #Holocaust but it is a necessary step on the path to that particular hell. Full comment here: https://t.co/eV8h0LntFN #Auspol @chriskkenny @AlexanderDowner pic.twitter.com/mj0wL7bj1w
— Fr Rod Bower (@FrBower) December 31, 2018
The CEO of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and former Chairman of Multicultural NSW tweeted, "Comparing #Manus to the murder of 6 million Jews is inaccurate and undermines the enormity of the Holocaust. Irrespective of one's position on asylum-seekers, such analogies are irresponsible and hurtful to Holocaust survivors and the families of the victims."
He's identified the hypocrisy of leftists & liberals in their circling the wagons around this silly tweet. Our position on the policy, party or person should never blind us to the merits of the message, or lack thereof.
It was astoundingly ignorant to use the phrase "final solution" in a speech which Anning & his speech writer had ample time to consider.
It was also if not equally ignorant and insensitive to compare Australia's policy regarding immigration via human trafficking with the Nazi Holocaust.
If you want to talk about bad immigration policy then talk about bad immigration policy and don't make false comparisons with Hitler's "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Likewise, Warren Mundine sensibly said, "If you want to stand up for people on Manus Island then talk about Manus Island. Stop making false comparisons with Auschwitz. There is no likeness."
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you want to hold your political opponents accountable for the manifest ignorance of their words, you have to use the same standard for your side as you do for your opponents, and not simply look the other way because it's convenient to your agenda.


If you desperately feel the need to read a spell book I suggest you go for the historical side and err on the side of the tried and true by this I mean something like the charms in the Carmina Gadelica or one of the series of books put out on Kindle by a publishing house called Albacraft. The paperbacks are around $21.00 and the Kindle versions are $1.59 which is a much better price break.
I still would never use these but you can get a better feel how spells were tradtionally used by the Gaels. There are many books in the series that contain folklore and stories that were collected from the people that used them everyday.

I use Amazon Recommends to see what, if anything tickles my fancy to read and I bought a book that seems to have triggered the addition of a lot of spell books be added to my list. A cursory examination will show that most are done merely to sell a book.
I have a prejudice. I don't believe in spell books. Any witch, pagan, etc with half a brain should be creating their own spell books and not using anyone else's book. If you can't write your own spell, you have no business being a witch.
To write a good spell all you need is clear intent and focus. You decide what herb if any or candle colour, if any you use. It doesn't need to rhyme. It doesn't have to be a yard long but I do think you need to write it down if for no other reason that it will clarify your intent and to make sure you are not casting in the heat of anger when some other remedy would be more efficacious.
When you use someone else's spell you really have no idea why and how it was written. You don't know the original intent for the creation of the spell. It really isn't that much different than using a Ouija board which I also think is pretty stupid.
To create a spell you need very little. Intent, focus and release. You have to remember to release the spell/energy to set it into motion. Another reason to not be angry when you work a spell. You could be so mad you hang on to it instead of releasing it.
The only reason I can think of for writing a spell book is to make money. If you can't do it yourself, you aren't trying hard enough. Buy a book of correspondences if you must although I think those are rather personal too but write your own. Don't use a second hand spell.
Spell books are the Good Will/charity shop of magic.

Sold Out, Again
So Matt Gaetz wasn't the principled newcomer. Turns out he wasn't taking a stand, but was instead using the Speaker vote to gain more power for himself. Now we have a California RINO as speaker and Gaetz has a committee to weild power over.
The Republicans aren't interested in saving America, just power for its own sake.

Make up your own mind as to how you react to a Republican congressman saying that other Republicans are terrorists because they won't install McCarthy as speaker.
If you don't want to get into the Octagon and get punched in the face and don't get into the Octagon, that's how I feel about it. I mean, this is because there's no good faith here. The good faith has been lost. We keep talking about good faith. And then they want to play victim. No. No. So now I'm not going to apologize for harsh language. You guys know me. That's how I am. I speak boldly. You know, and this is this is. This is terrorism tactics.

My opinion on the voting for Speaker of the House? Don't keep voting for the same RINO assholes that have been selling us out for years and expect to get anything different. I'm sick and tired of voting for candidates who promise to protect gun rights and support Conservatives, only to watch them vote to go along with Democrats and increase their own power.
Of course sellouts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity are pissed that the party doesn't come first because the important business of the people isn't getting done. I call bullshit. What business of the people is getting ignored? Do these RINOs really think that they are going to impeach Biden? If they do, do they really think it will get past the Senate? What is it that you expect to accomplish, other than cutting more deals with the Democrats?
I don't give a hairy rat's ass if you never select a Speaker of the House, because until you do, the House won't be able to do anything else. That's fine by me, because the best that Americans can hope for at this point is gridlock.
Those 20 Republicans don't have to pack it in, Hannity, you fucking sellout. The Republican party is now faced with a choice- you can either acknowledge the freedom loving wing of your party and give them a seat at the table, or you can show your true, power seeking RINO colors and cut a deal with Democrats. At least then we will know that you only pay lip service to conservative principles. How many of those 200 Republicans were OK with Trump being impeached? How many of them stood up and called the rigged election of 2020 for what it was? Not you, you pussy.

Enemy Action?
According to the NY medical examiner, Ivana Trump died from trauma to the chest. They say it was an accident. She was found at the foot of the stairs in her New York residence. No other details are available.
Being a former President's EX-wife, Ivana is not under Secret Service protection.
Democrats hate Donald Trump and have been calling for the killing of Republicans.
I'm sure all of that is a pure coincidence.

Bargaining Chip
Like I said earlier today, your rights are there to be sold out, used as bargaining chips so that Republicans can get and hold onto money and power. The Republicans think that your rights and your freedom are nothing more than silly items to be used at the negotiating table. After all, what are you going to do, vote for someone else?
So what are they going to cave on?
Universal Background checks: This is really a code word for national firearm registration. The ATF has been illegally keeping a record of all firearm sales reported to them. Universal checks will ensure that nearly all legal sales will be recorded for easier confiscation in the future. This will, of course, do nothing to curb criminal trade in firearms. This is the same reason why the ATF and the other alphabets are opposed to homemade firearms.
Red Flag laws: This will allow the government to take your guns, even if you haven't committed any crimes.
Safe Storage Laws: Depending on the wording, you will be required to keep all of your guns locked up. This was already ruled unconstitutional in Heller*, but since when does the Constitution matter?
Of course, handing out money. Since when did the government ever see a problem without throwing money at it? It isn't like we have an inflation problem, or anything
Mental Health Resources: I happen to agree that mental health is the problem, but I think that we all know that whatever the government decides to do will be the wrong thing.
*Heller v DC holding: "Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional."
Political Sell Out
Mitch McConnell is about to sell out gun owners. Reports on CNN that McConnell has encouraged Texas Sen. John Cornyn to begin discussions with Democrats to see if they can find a middle ground on pass gun control legislation in the wake of the Texas elementary school shooting.
The Republicans are about to sell out gun owners in order to gain political capital to get some other Republican project a green light. This is why I can't trust Republicans. They always find a way to feather their own nest at the expense of gun owners.
I used to say that I would never vote Democrat, because Democrats are evil. The problem is that voting Republican isn't much better, because Republicans will sell out in order to get money or remain in power. Perhaps it would be better to vote for the most lefty politicians there are, so we can get the fight started. I'm not getting any younger, and if it's inevitable, we might as well get it started while I can still contribute.
Stupid and Evil Parties Unite
Republicans and Democrats have decided to jointly start WW3. I was watching Hannity on FOX News last night, and he had several Republicans and talk show pundits on there. All of them were pushing for US military involvement.
The biggest idea that I have heard, one that 72% Americans support, is a no fly zone. A no fly zone means that anything flying over Ukraine would have to be shot down. As soon as a NATO aircraft shoots down a Russian aircraft, it's on. Russia will surely down a few NATO aircraft. On top of it, it's pretty likely that NATO airfields would receive attention from Russian missiles and aircraft. NATO is now in a full on war. What if the Russians sink a US aircraft carrier? How will US citizens respond to the loss of 6,000 sailors?
If that isn't enough, Marco Rubio has decided that he wants to simultaneously take on China.

Republicans are anti-American
Some Republicans wanted to start an "America First" caucus. Then the Republican leadership shut them down. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted this in response:
With that tweet, Americans are on official notice: Our elected officials are no longer interested in representing the people of this nation. There is no longer a political or diplomatic solution to be found to avoid what is coming.

We've got it from here
When I was a newly discharged veteran, I tried opening my own business repairing electric motors, pumps, and transmissions. Although the military had taught me the technical side of things, I didn't know anything about running a business. I only lasted about three years before I was flat broke. It was during those three years that I discovered Rush Limbaugh's show. I played his show on the radio every single day. It was refreshing to hear someone speaking the very things that were in my head.
Sure, we didn't agree on everything. His stance on the war on drugs, for example. Even so, our basic philosophies were remarkably similar. I realized that I was not crazy. His show was the light that guided me through the dark Clinton years when it felt as if all was lost. He did the same for all of us- I think that he was directly responsible for major changes in this nation- he created Conservative talk radio and the contract with America that saved us from the Clinton AWB. He influenced the creation of Fox news, the Drudge report, and spawned the Conservative movement as we know it today. We all owe him a debt, whether we realize it or not.
There are those who are saying goodbye in ways that are far better than my own words.
Today, we are a little less fortunate, the Conservative movement is a little weaker without him. Even so, we will continue the fight. We must. Rest easy Rush- we've got it from here.
