Russian Navy test-fires submarine-launched missile
By: The Associated Press June 26, 2017
A new Russian nuclear submarine, the Yuri Dolgoruky, drives in the water area of the Sevmash factory in the northern city of Arkhangelsk on July 2, 2009. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited the Sevmash factory, a well-equipped shipbuilding complex that builds and repairs submarines. AFP PHOTO / POOL / ALEXANDER ZEMLIANICHENKO (Photo credit should read ALEXANDER ZEMLIANICHENKO/AFP/Getty Images)
MOSCOW — The Russian military says it has successfully test-fired a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile.
The Defence Ministry said the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear-powered submarine launched the Bulava missile Monday from a submerged position in the Barents Sea. The ministry said the missile's mock warheads reached their designated targets on the opposite side of Russia — the Kura shooting range on the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula.
The Bulava, which has been commissioned by the Russian Navy after a long cycle of development, carries six nuclear warheads and has a range of up to 9,300 kilometers (about 5,770 miles).
The Yuri Dolgoruky is the first in a series of Borei-class submarines carrying the Bulava. Russia now has three such submarines, and five more are under construction to gradually replace some of the older Soviet-built ones.

The international World Cup of Prague proves itself
Eleven different countries where seen on the podium today at the World Cup in Prague. What a variety in the final phase where only Korea took two medals today. In the final U73kg it was a complete Asian final with Gui-Man Bang from Korea and Miyaragchaa Sanjaasuren as spectacular judoka in the spots.
Bang Gui-Man (KOR) pictured seemed to win easily in a minute, but both judoka cheered because of their score, but the referee didn't dare to give Bang the ippon. The match resumed and Bang took the lead again, but now awarded with wazari and scored a second point in the last minute convincing everybody, but that one wasn't awarded as well.
Bang was in a great shape today with judo from another planet. He truly smashed bronze medallist Kunter Rothberg by ippon with a superb uchi-mata.
Korean Choi Gwang-Hyeon didn't win his final U60kg as Elio Verde (ITA) beat him by ippon with a fantastic score. The Italian bronze medalist of the 2009 World Championships won his third World Cup and fifth medal. It was exactly one year ago that Verde won his last World Cup, which was in Warsaw last year. The 22-year old Italian seems to be ready for the European Championships in Vienna in April.
The numbers 1-8 all had a different nationality, how unique is that these days.
Czech favourite Pavel Petrikov lost in his first fight against Yung Gascard (BEL) by a shido in overtime but, not what Petrikov nor the Czech fans had in mind for today.
Also four different nations on the podium U66kg. Armen Nazaryan won his third World Cup in his career. He won his first at the age of 22, but today is his 27 but still counts as outsiders for a European medal. Armenia won six World Cup medals ever in total and Nazaryan now shares the six with Hovhannes Davtyan who won three of them U60kg.
Today Nazaryan defeated 18-year old Florent Urani from France. Nazaryan made an unforgetable great point in the semi final against Czukiewicz (FRA). Another French, Urani took his first ever World Cup medal in a agreat fight against Nazaryan. Urani came back after a serious backdraft but was surprised in the end by the Armenian. Urani is the World U20 bronze medalist last year and in the spring of his career. Today he had to fight six matches to get the silver medal, which is not only a loss, but a bigger victory.
World Champion U66kg Khasbaatar Tsagaanbaatar fought today U73kg but lost by ippon by a ko-uchi-gari to Vitali Shauliuk.
Prague had an exceptional large number of participants. With 329 in total from 39 nations and 158 judoka fighting today it is the highest number of all international events this year.
Tomorrow more spectacular judo from Prague where the Czech puyblic is looking forward to a victory for Lukas Krpalek. You can follow it live on your screen from 10.00am.


For those concerned about the state of our political discussion, or better yet, those who have turned their heads the other way because politicians don't seem to care about having a real conversation, there are fundamental issues that you should be paying attention to.
The Democratic Party, in the national narrative, holds itself out to be the party of inclusion and diversity. In the news, they gloat about how tribal and sophomoric the Republican Party has become. So, at whatever level there is truth to this sentiment, voters should understand that the Democratic party, a private corporation with a private charter, takes protecting its private interest in institutional self-preservation very seriously.
"When I first came to Washington, one of the things that I was disappointed about was there's a lot of immaturity and petty gamesmanship that goes on, and it kind of reminds me of how high school teenagers act," Ms. Gabbard said in a telephone interview on Sunday night.

Nikolski is a novel by Canadian writer Nicolas Dickner. Originally published in 2005 in French, an English edition translated by Lazer Lederhendler was published in 2008.

The original French edition was a nominee for the 2005 Governor General's Award for French fiction, won the Prix Anne-Hébert in 2006, and won the prix litteraire des collegiens, a prize awarded by Quebecois post-secondary students, in 2006. The English translation won the 2008 Governor General's Award for French-to-English translation, and the 2010 edition of Canada Reads.

The novel's story is set in Montreal and revolves around three seemingly disconnected characters (Noah, Joyce and an unnamed narrator) whose lives eventually intersect in the city's Plateau neighbourhood. The title derives from one of the novel's recurring motifs, a broken compass which consistently points to the small village of Nikolski, Alaska instead of the Magnetic North Pole.

Trucking accidents are fairly common in Florida and can have serious, often fatal, consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Florida has one of the highest number of recorded truck accidents in the United States, surpassed only by California and Texas. The massive size and weight of commercial trucks means an accident involving these vehicles is inherently more dangerous to all those involved.
For a better understanding of the scope of the dangers associated with trucking accidents, our team at Charpentier Law Firm in Melbourne, FL, has compiled a list of truck accident statistics. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, our firm can provide the legal representation you need. Contact our office online or call (321) 631-5446 to schedule a free review of your case.
Florida has the third-highest rate of truck accidents in the United States.
During 2015, an estimated 433,000 large trucks were involved in police-recorded traffic accidents in the United States. These accidents resulted in 116,000 injuries and 4,067 fatalities. Due to their size and weight, large trucks are more likely to be involved in fatal multiple-vehicle crashes than passenger cars. About 82 percent of fatal crashes involving large trucks affect multiple vehicles. The most common type of large truck crash is a head-on collision.
According to Florida's Integrated Report Exchange System, over 395,862 crashes occurred in 2016. Of those, over 44,000 involved commercial vehicles, such as large trucks and buses. In the same time span, Brevard County alone experienced 797 commercial vehicle crashes, resulting in 160 injuries and 12 fatalities. With the complex set of interstate roadways in Brevard County, our community is often affected by trucking accidents.
Our team at Charpentier Law Firm has helped victims collect millions.
Of the four categories, the most common driver error factor was decision. Poor decisions on the part of the driver were a direct cause of 38 percent of large truck crashes studied by the LTCCS. However, a range of other factors can lead to a trucking accident, including equipment issues with the vehicle or the environmental conditions at the time of the incident.
If you were involved in a serious trucking accident, insurance may pay for part or all of your medical expenses. However, trucking accidents often result in devastating or catastrophic injuries affecting the brain or spinal cord. These types of injuries can require a lifetime of costly medical care and inhibit your ability to earn a living.
Injuries caused by the negligence or irresponsible actions of others require action. Our attorneys can prove whose negligence resulted in your injury and other losses. We have an intimate knowledge of trucking industry regulations and can consult with experts who can help demonstrate where responsibility lies so that you can collect the compensation you deserve.
Our team at Charpentier Law Firm has helped victims of negligence collect millions. To learn more about how we can help you in this difficult time, contact our office online or call (321) 631-5446 and schedule a free case review.

This year our kids decided they wanted to be Koopa characters from Super Mario Bros. Yay, another family theme was born! We decided on Bowser, Bowser Jr., Iggy, Larry, Wendy and Ludwig von Koopa. Our dog was forced to participate by wearing the costume, aka Roy Koopa, for a few minutes for pics. The dog was not amused, but hey, it's once a year for a few minutes and nothing a few treats won't make up for!
These costumes took me about 3 weeks to make. It wasn't too hard, just time consuming. 5 big bags of stuffing is what I used between the shells, spikes, circle around shell, tails etc. That is what cost the most, the stuffing, and then obviously fabric was another significant expense.
The shells were made to be worn like backpacks. They're not too heavy, just require a lot of room to store and transport, hence we took 2 cars wherever we went. Spikes are vinyl and were glued on with fabric glue and reinforced with thread/stitches. Completed the shell with rings around each spike in the appropriate color and the large white ring around the whole shell.
The yellow overalls were easy and I didn't spend much time on them. I did use the same vinyl for the front of our shells and the spikes, with just a little stuffing underneath. Kids got 2 piece costumes because that makes it easier to wear to school, and as such, I also attached the tail to very bottom of shirt so they can sit. The tails are also stitched just at the top portion of the tails, so they can be moved a bit off to the side without ripping fabric if you're in the car and car seat etc.
We added studs with hot glue to the black vinyl "leather" straps. Bowser himself had a viking helmet which was re-fitted to look the appropriate way. Iggy had over-sized sun glasses with lenses removed and a stuffed leg warmer for hair. Ludwig had 2 dollar store wigs attached for volume. What else? Oh, wands were just a wood stick with paper cutout covered with aluminum foil and Styrofoam ball colored and then sprayed with sparkling hair spray for glowing effect.
You'll obviously need a sewing machine for this project and a thimble for when you're doing things by hand with the vinyl. That and lots and lots of yellow fabric. And lot and lots and lots of stuffing, preferably not the clumpy, heavy kind.
We had a blast walking about! Bumped into a few friends and enemies from the Super Mario Bros series, tried to "capture" Princess Peach and gave a few Marios a friendly scare. So much fun and it's about time some of the other Koopalings get recognition too. They all deserve it!

Terra Australis meaning Southern Land was an early concept of the ancient Greeks, who imagined a large landmass in the southern hemisphere. Cartographers from the 15th century onwards included this hypothetical land on their maps of the world. When Australia and Antarctica were eventually discovered by European explorers it was seen as justification for the earlier.speculation.
Riaan Booysen, a South African researcher contends that these early maps reflected geographical realities, namely Australia and Antarctica,but goes further and locates Plato's Atlantis close to Australia. He bases much of his theory on his interpretation of Johann Schöner's 1515 globe, which he discusses on his extensively illustrated website(a).

As a growing business, Empire can sometimes fall into the 21st century tendency of multitasking at a mile a minute. That's why we're lucky that every now and then, a story surfaces that really makes us stop and remember why we do what we do. 'Great Beginnings – Tasty Bites', a stunningly photographed community cookbook, created by a group of homeowners with recipe contributions from the entire community of Wyndance, is one of those wonderfully heartwarming tales that stops us in our tracks.
The Estates of Wyndance is a neighbourhood in Uxbridge; a unique community with estate homes surrounded by stunning greenspace and an impressive collection of community amenities. Some of the perks include being a gated community, having CLUBLINK at your neighbourhood golf course, a private tennis court and basketball court and a scenic pond. Wyndance represents some of the best of what we embrace here at Empire. As we draw close to the end of our Wyndance chapter, with our final home recently sold, the story of the Women of Wyndance and their beautifully crafted Cookbook could not be timelier. It really gives us an opportunity to reflect on all we've achieved over the last decade.
The Women of Wyndance have grown, as the community has, to become so much more than just a collection of homes and neighbours who live in close proximity. And it's supremely touching to us at Empire to learn that the homes we build, and the accompanying community features serve their intended purpose of bringing people closer together, encouraging collaboration and most of all generating lasting friendships. A huge thank you to the Women of Wyndance for their hard work and for sharing their lovely creation with us.
In 2005, a sales trailer sat in a field; the future home of The Estates of Wyndance, within the Township of Uxbridge. Now, in 2016, the field has transformed into a beautiful neighbourhood that we are lucky to call home. What started as a small group of ladies getting together once a month for an evening out, has grown, as the neighbourhood has, to a much larger group of women, with diverse backgrounds, areas of interest and experience but still known as the Women of Wyndance or "WOW" for short.
Although only available to homeowners currently, over the next few months we'll be featuring some of our favorite recipes from the WOW, from tasty desserts to healthy treats for your pup. See them here.

Q: Can you use Android Studio for Samsung Gear 2? I have an app that I would like to build wearable support across platforms. I got Android Wear support, I got Gear Fit support. Now I am trying to figure out the Tizen SDK and if I can integrate that with Android Studio. Is that possible?

A: I won't say it's not possible, but Android Studio/IntelliJ does not support the Tizen Wearable build process at this time. I don't know what the long-term plans are for the Tizen SDK team--if whether they will continue with Eclipse as it is or start providing support for A/S themselves.
A Tizen Wearable app is for all intents and purposes a web app with a few config.xml changes and some custom folders, so there may be a way to cobble support in if you were really desperate enough.  Behind the scenes, here is what the Tizen IDE/Eclipse is doing. Perhaps this will give you enough of a start.

Home / SPM installs new online vibration monitoring system on PM 12 at Holmen Paper's mill in Hallsta, Sweden
SPM installs new online vibration monitoring system on PM 12 at Holmen Paper's mill in Hallsta, Sweden
STRANGNAS, Sweden, Dec. 9, 2020 (Press Release) -Earlier this year, SPM received an order for a total of 154 sensors for the replacement of an older SPM system on the drive side of the drying section on Hallsta's PM12 paper machine. The order means that the mill takes another step in its ongoing upgrade of the machine's online monitoring system.
At Holmen Paper in Hallstavik, preventive maintenance has always been a high priority, and the mill has extensive experience in condition monitoring. All departments actively work with condition monitoring, and thanks to a long-standing and close collaboration, older SPM equipment is installed in many parts of the Hallsta mill. The first online system from SPM was installed as early as 1974.
– Hallsta has been an important customer for us for many years. The system installed in 1974 was SPM's first delivery of an online system, and since then, PM12 has had another ten generations of online systems from us. The mill has also actively participated in the development of several of our successful products, including the SPM HD shock pulse technology. The opportunity to do test installations at Hallsta has been very valuable for SPM. We are very proud of the continued confidence as a supplier to Hallsta paper mill, said Tomas Årman, Sales Manager of SPM Sweden.
The online system Intellinova Parallel EN, which is now installed on the drying section of PM12, is the latest and most powerful system in the Intellinova family. A total of five measuring units is installed, with thirty-two measuring channels per unit. The measuring points are equipped with the DuoTech accelerometer, which combines patented vibration and shock pulse measurement with HD ENV and SPM HD. The HD condition monitoring technologies provide exceptionally early warning against deteriorating mechanical condition, with clear and easy-to-interpret measurement results that enable ample time to plan maintenance efforts. Measurement results are analyzed in the Condmaster Ruby 2020 software, which has a user-friendly graphical interface that clearly shows the operating condition of individual machine parts. The analysis software also comes with the web application Condmaster.NET, where current machine condition can be monitored via smartphones, tablets, or computers.
– This is a natural step in our continued development towards effective predictive and preventive maintenance, said Joel Bergström, Section Manager of Maintenance, Paper at the mill in Hallsta, in a comment on the investment.
Intellinova Parallel EN has previously been installed also on the PM12 wire and press sections. In addition, the maintenance department also uses the handheld instrument Leonova Diamond for route-based measurement on auxiliary equipment such as pumps.
Specialty paper producer Holmen Paper manufactures MF-Magazine, SC-paper, book paper, and packaging. Production is based exclusively on virgin fiber from spruce pulpwood in a thermomechanical pulp process. Climate-smart energy solutions make Hallsta paper mill one of the most resource-efficient in its segment in Europe, with an extremely low emission level of fossil carbon dioxide. The residual products from the mill's production process can be used as biofuels and soil products.

What's the value of giving more autonomy to mills or plants?
Instead of typical production planning and control, data-driven applications incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) help take a more holistic view of the entire chain of production by utilizing data from several sources. Together with machine learning this will help predict upcoming variations and incidents, make decisions based on predicted events and act proactively, which leads to better control of the daily work and allows to run the process with fewer resources. Such autonomous operations will enable mills and plants operate more cost-effectively, decrease their use of raw materials and boost output at the process and plant levels.

Hydrogen in nominally anhydrous crustal minerals
Johnson, Elizabeth Ann (2003) Hydrogen in nominally anhydrous crustal minerals. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. doi:10.7907/EG6Q-8B56. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-05272003-165802
Systematic infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance investigations of common crustal minerals were undertaken to better understand the geologic significance of minor components of structural hydrous species within these nominally anhydrous minerals. The absolute hydrogen concentration in three alkali feldspars and eight plagioclase samples was measured with 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The mid-infrared integral absorption coefficient was determined to be 15.3 ? 0.7 ppm-1?cm-2, allowing quantitative analysis of OH and H2O in feldspars with infrared spectroscopy. A survey of hydrous species in igneous feldspars found that feldspars contain structural OH (0-512 ppm H2O), H2O (0-1350 ppm H2O), and NH4+ (0-1500 ppm NH4+) groups as well as fluid inclusions and alteration products. Composition and crystal structure influence the type of hydrous species that can be incorporated into feldspars, but the concentration and speciation of structural hydrogen is at least partially determined by the geologic environment. The diffusivity of H in OH-bearing plagioclase was determined at 800-1000?C (D0=5.7?2.5x10-4 m2/sec and Q=224?33 kJ/mol). A millimeter-sized volcanic feldspar phenocryst would be expected to lose a significant proportion of its OH concentration on the timescale of a typical eruption (hours to weeks). The structures and compositions of low albite and ussingite, Na2AlSi3O8(OH), are similar. The strong hydrogen bonding in ussingite is found to be fundamentally different from the hydrogen bonding environment of OH in feldspars. Comparison of the infrared spectra of structural isomorphs reedmergnerite, NaBSi3O8, and low albite suggest that OH is incorporated in both structures through protonation of the most underbonded oxygen site. The concentration of structural OH in diopside was determined for four granulite facies siliceous marble samples from the Adirondacks, New York. Diopside OH concentration increases monotonically with increasing estimated water fugacity for each outcrop. Hydrogen concentration is correlated to Ti concentration in zoned grossular skarn garnets from Birch Creek, CA. Decrease of Ti and H from garnet cores to rims may be related to the solubility of Ti in the skarn-forming fluid. Skarn garnets from an Adirondacks, NY, wollastonite ore deposit exhibit a large range of OH concentrations broadly related to rock type that are due to recrystallization and partial dehydration.

Janet Lee Innes
ST. JOSEPH, Minn. - Janet Lee Innes, 77, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday, Aug. 6, 2021, at her home in St. Joseph.
Jan was born Oct. 12, 1943, in Washburn, Wisconsin, to Martin and Nellie (Sorenson) Anderson. She graduated from Ondossagon High School and then went to X-ray school in Duluth. She worked as an X-ray technician for a few years.
Jan married Robert James Innes at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Ashland, Wisconsin, on July 15, 1967. Bob and Jan moved to Saxon, Wisconsin, to the home where they raised their three children. Jan's dedication to her family was evident as they were blessed by her decision to stay at home and raise their family. In 1998, Bob and Jan moved to Cold Spring, Minnesota, and they provided daycare for three of their grandchildren.
Bob and Jan had a love for each other that was an inspiration to many. People who cared for them often mentioned and admired the true love you could see between Bob and Jan.
Jan loved her family dearly, and her greatest love was spending time with them. She loved cheering on her kids and grandkids at their sporting events, camping with friends and family, going out to eat with her family, baking (especially Christmas cookies), and doing cross stitch. Jan was so proud of her family and loved sharing stories about them.
A visitation and prayer service will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 17, at Wenner Funeral Home in Cold Spring, Minnesota. Friends can visit from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and there will be a prayer service at 7 p.m.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, Aug. 20, at noon, at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Saxon, Wisconsin. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. at the church. Rite of Committal will take place in the Edgewood Cemetery, in Gurney, Wisconsin, following the service.
Jan is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Robert; their three children, Susie Pedrin, Darla Olson (Ron Kwasny) and Tammy (Colin) Botten; grandchildren, Derrick Pedrin, Tyler Botten, Chase Botten, Cayden Botten, Brooke Olson and Brynn Olson; and brothers and sisters in-law, Phillip Tetzner, George Innes, Kaye Innes, Bonnie (Ken) Paskey, Tom (Kathy) Innes and Marvin Innes Jr.
Jan is preceded in death by her parents; father-in-law, Marvin Innes; mother-in-law, Barbara Innes; sisters, Lois Haug, Shirley Anderson and Beverly Tetzner; and brother, John "Bubbie" Anderson; brothers and sisters in-law, Ole Haug, Roger Anderson, John Innes, Sheila Innes and David Innes; and son-in-law, Forrest Olson.
Arrangements are being made by Wenner Funeral Home, of Cold Spring, for the Cold Spring service and McKevitt-Patrick Funeral Home in Ironwood, Michigan, for the services in Saxon.

Шарль Еміль Пікар (; ; ; 24 липня 1856, Париж — 12 грудня 1941, там само) — французький математик.. Член Паризької академії наук з 1889 року. У 1910 році обраний президентом Паризької академії. З 1917 року — неодмінний секретар академічної Секції математичних наук. Він був в 1924 році обраний п'ятнадцятим членом, що займав крісло номер 1 у Французькій академії. Іноземний член-кореспондент Петербурзької академії наук (1895), почесний член Академії наук СРСР (1925). Член Лондонського Королівського товариства (1909). У 1908 році керував IV-м Міжнародним конгресом математиків в Римі, а в році 1920 — VI-м конгресом в Страсбурзі.

На його честь названо астероїд 29613 Шарльпікар.

Біографія і наукова діяльність
Народився в Парижі, рано втратив батька при облозі Парижа під час франко-прусської війни (1870). У 1877 році закінчив паризьку Вищу нормальну школу, потім викладав у різних навчальних закладах, з 1881 року і до кінця життя — в Сорбонні. Звання професора Сорбонни отримав у серпні 1886 року і керував кафедрою (аналізу та алгебри) аж до своєї відставки у 1931 році.

У січні 1881 року одружився з Марі, дочкою свого вчителя Шарля Ерміта. Троє з п'яти їхніх дітей загинули під час Першої світової війни.

Математичні праці, підручники та багато популярних книг Пікара показують його надзвичайне коло інтересів, а також вражаючу майстерність математики того часу. Сучасні студенти комплексного аналізу, ймовірно, знайомі з двома теоремами його імені. Його менша теорема стверджує, що кожна ціла функція, що не тотожна константі, набуває усіх значень в комплексній площині, можливо, за винятком одного значення. Його велика теорема стверджує, що аналітична функція з істотною особливістю набуває усіх значень нескінченну кількість разів, можливо, за винятком одного значення, в будь-якому околі істотно особливої точки. Він відомий фундаментальними результатами в області математичного аналізу. Як і його сучасник, Анрі Пуанкаре, Пікар був дуже зосереджений на методиці викладання студентам математики та фізики. Його підручник з аналізу (Traite d'Analyse) довгий час вважався класичним.

Крім того, він вніс важливий внесок у теорію диференціальних рівнянь, включаючи роботу з Пікара-Вессо теорії, Пенлеве трансценденти і його введення групи Пікара — групи симетрії для лінійних диференціальних рівнянь. Також він вніс істотний внесок у теорію функцій і топологію, у зв'язку з його роботою з теорії функцій, він був одним з перших математиків, що використовували нові ідеї алгебраїчної топології. Його внесок в теорію груп стосується аналога теорії Галуа для лінійних диференціальних рівнянь. Частина його праць присвячені історії та філософії математики.

В додачу до його новаторської теоретичної роботи, Пікар також вніс важливий внесок в прикладну математику, його результати знайшли широке застосування в прикладних науках: теорія пружності, телеграфія та інші. Він автор одного з перших у світі навчальних посібників з теорії відносності і її додатків до астрономії (1922). Опублікував серію біографій багатьох видатних французьких математиків, в тому числі, свого вчителя і тестя Шарля Ерміта. Посмертно виданий збірник праць Пікара займає 4 томи.

У 1943 році його вдова вирішила створити «Фонд Еміля Пікара» з якого Паризька академія кожні шість років вручає медаль за математичні досягнення. Перша медаль була вручена в 1946 році Морісу Фреше.

Churches Seek to Amplify Echo of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

GENEVA, Aug 3 2015 (IPS) - The accounts of survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki will serve as inspiration for leaders of Christian churches grouped in the World Council of Churches (WCC), which advocates the elimination of nuclear weapons.
A delegation of members of churches from Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, South Korea and the United States are making a pilgrimage to the two Japanese cities annihilated by atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945.
"The generation of survivors of the atomic bombings are in their eighties, those that survived. And this generation is passing," said Peter Prove, director of the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs of the Geneva-based WCC, the largest and most international ecumenical body.
"But these are the real witnesses, those who could give testimony about the human impact of atomic weapons. And I think that we need to capture that moment and to amplify it," he told IPS.
Bishop Mary-Ann Swenson of the United Methodist Church of the United States said "We will be in Hiroshima and Nagasaki to remember the horror of the atomic bomb."
"As we gather in places devastated by the deadliest of weapons 70 years ago, we are aware that 40 governments still rely on nuclear weapons," said Swenson, who is heading the pilgrimage.
"Nine states possess nuclear arsenals and 31 other states are willing to have the United States use nuclear weapons on their behalf," she added.
Prove explained that the members of the delegation were carefully selected.
"The members of this delegation for this programmed visit are very strategically chosen. They come from countries that are nuclear powers, either historic ones from the War World Two period (1939-1945), like the USA, or more recent ones, like Pakistan, from outside the NPT (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) framework," he said.
The rest of the delegations come from the group of 31 countries mentioned by Swenson: "…so-called 'nuclear umbrella states'. States that are not nuclear armed themselves but who rely upon protection, if I can use that term, from other nuclear powers, in this case the U.S. especially," Prove added.
The aim of the pilgrimage is for senior leaders of churches from the seven countries to experience the 70th anniversary of the bombings and to meet the Hibakushas, as the survivors are known.
On their return, "they will convey that message of human impact back to their own governments, back to their own communities, in the interest of trying to make the case for a legal ban on nuclear weapons," Prove said.
The delegates will have to "point out that there is a legal gap, that all other major categories of weapons of mass destruction have a legal ban….which isn't the case for nuclear weapons."
"Churches are good networks for doing that, in their own communities and vis-à-vis their own governments in many countries," said Prove.
The WCC delegation will meet with Hibakushas and with religious and social figures from Japan during the activities and ceremonies to mark the 70th anniversary, whose central events will be held Aug. 6 in Hiroshima and Aug. 9 in Nagasaki.
The U.S. atomic attack left around 66,000 dead and 69,000 injured in Hiroshima – a total of 135,000 victims. In Nagasaki there were 64,000 victims: 39,000 killed and 25,000 injured.
With respect to the second phase of the church mission to Japan – advocating a ban on nuclear weapons in the rest of the world – Prove said the WCC's strength is primarily its network of member churches around the world, much more than the Secretariat in Geneva.
"We do represent one quarter of global Christianity, 500 million people in 120 countries. So the real activity will be the extent to which those church leaders and their churches follow up with their own governments," he said.
"And that would vary from country to country. Obviously a Norwegian church leader potentially has much greater access to influence their government than let's say, a Pakistani church leader might do relative to their government.
"The World Council of Churches is itself a product of the post War World II period. It's precisely because of the shock of the atrocities of the destruction of War World II that the WCC really ultimately came into existence," Prove said.
Failure of Review Conference Brings World Close to Nuclear Cataclysm, Warn Activists
Faith-Based Organisations Warn of Impending Nuclear Disaster
Q&A: Nuclear Disarmament a Non-Starter, "But I Would Love to Be Proven Wrong"
"So, it's a reaction to the genocide, to the Holocaust, it's a reaction to the atomic bombings, it's a reaction to global war and conflict in general."
"The WCC has had a long-term commitment to working with civil society partners for nuclear disarmament, for the elimination of nuclear weapons," he said.
"The lack of success in that project is really a function of the dysfunctionality of the international architecture for those processes," he maintained.
As an example, he pointed to the collapse of the NPT review conference – the main nuclear disarmament negotiations – held Apr. 27-May 22 at United Nations headquarters in New York.
"The mechanisms for controlling and eliminating nuclear weapons do not function because they are in the hands of those states with an interest in maintaining nuclear weapons," said Prove.
The WCC supports the global majority of states – 113 – that have signed the humanitarian pledge calling for a legal ban on nuclear weapons.
"So we have achieved a majority of states in support of this ban and we want to encourage a negotiation process for a legal ban on nuclear weapons. And we are hoping that this majority of states will exert their majority in that process," he added.

Something....calls to me....Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.
42 years ago or so The Moody Blues predicted this day would come.
So since we keep getting asked and the list grows by the day, here is what we know and where to find it. I have listed the versions for each as well.
Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal is not affected by this certificate expiration.
If you are on Sametime earlier than 7.0 you are out of luck, you must upgrade or keep getting pop up warnings forever.
So how do you fix it or what can you do to mitigate your call center and help desk people from staging a walk out on Thursday?
1. Instruct users to select "Always Trust" content from IBM, as the applets are still valid. The warning message is only to notify users that the certificate used to sign the applet has expired. The expiration does not affect an applet's security or functionality. In most cases, the user can click to "Always Trust" content from IBM to stop the message from appearing in the future.
2. Upgrade Domino 7.x servers to Domino 7.0.4. Domino 7.0.4 servers that are accessed via browsers that are using JRE 1.5.0 or later will not experience the issue.
3. IBM recommends correcting this issue through the replacement of the .jar files affected. You can currently download .zip files containing re-signed applets either from Fix Central or the IBM Support FTP site, as described in Technote #4022981 - Download re-signed Java applets for Lotus Domino (May 18, 2009).The re-signed .jar files are applicable to any supported release of Notes/Domino for any 6.5x, 7.0.x, 8.0.x, or 8.5 release.
4. IBM recommends option #3, which allows customers to replace files manually without needing a specific hotfix. Additionally, an interim fix (hotfix) will be provided via Fix Central starting May 11th for the latest MR/Fix Pack levels. This interim fix can be applied on Domino servers that do not currently have a hotfix applied.

Many lawmakers and political activists appear determined to perpetuate an endless debate over Ohio's New Learning Standards, our version of the Common Core state standards. But teachers and school leaders across the state have been working hard to carry out the higher standards for student learning that we committed to years ago.

Entering any tilt against the Tampa Bay Lighting with three regulation losses in the last four games is already tough enough. Doing so with an injury-riddled lineup and a struggling offense makes things that much harder.
That's exactly what the Bruins face in their second-round rematch with their Atlantic Division foes Thursday night in Tampa.
The Bruins are fresh off a spirited practice following their ugly 5-0 loss to the Panthers Tuesday night in Sunrise. Yet, Bruce Cassidy only has minor changes in store for a team struggling to put the puck in the net in Patrice Bergeron's absence. The Black and Gold have only scored three goals on once — Nov. 24 in Montreal — in nine games without their four-time Selke Award winner.
Both Tuukka Rask — who gets the nod against the Lightning — and Jaroslav Halak are giving admirable goaltending performances during this tough stretch. The Bruins D even had a good run without Zdeno Chara, Charlie McAvoy, Kevan Miller and Brandon Carlo (prior to his return against the Red Wings on Saturday). But the breakdowns on the back-end reared their ugly head to start the Florida trip.
Low-scoring games are the norm for this Bruins squad of late. But they could use a good offensive output — and a better defensive effort — against Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and the rest of the league-leading Lightning.
– Chris Wagner is the odd man out on the Bruins' bottom six with Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson making his return to the lineup. The latter may not be there long after the Bruins claimed forward Gemel Smith (20 points on 11 goals and 9 assists in 77 career games) off waivers on Thursday. The former Dallas Star is another bottom-six forward — who can play both wing and center — with a good mix of energy and physicality. Smith will likely join his new teammates for Friday's scheduled practice in Brighton. JFK, Noel Acciari and David Backes are all candidates to join Wagner on Level 9 depending on their performance(s) in Tampa.
– Young wingers like Ryan Donato, Anders Bjork and Danton Heinen aren't delivering on their high and promising expectations. Puck moving defensemen Torey Krug nor Matt Grzelcyk are doing enough in the transition game, either. But the more concerning part here is the lack of scoring production from three healthy core players in Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak and David Krejci.
Marchand and Pastrnak have combined for a mere nine points without Bergeron centering the talented wingers on the top line. Krejci, meanwhile, carries a four-game point drought and hasn't lit the lamp since Oct. 23. All three are guilty of forcing plays instead of getting pucks deep and the Bruins can't afford that during this time. The Bruins, who currently hold the top wild-card spot in the East, need more production and leadership from the aforementioned top-six forwards with nine of their next 12 contests coming against teams in the top-8 of their respective conference.

Q: XMLHttpRequest in IE 8-9 with header Is there way to make GET request with headers in IE 8-9?
I readed about XDomainRequest, but it don't support headers. I can't use jQuery on my project and have to do it using only JavaScript.

A: You cannot add custom headers to the XDR object. See this blog post for more information: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2010/05/13/xdomainrequest-restrictions-limitations-and-workarounds.aspx


You have no doubt noticed that GCC disappeared from the Mac OS X developer tools install starting with Lion; if you do gcc --version, you'll see LLVM-GCC has been given the task of handling compilation duties for build systems that directly reference gcc. And now with the release of the iOS 5 SDK, GCC has been removed for iOS development too, leaving only LLVM-based compilers there as well.
Overall I'm going to say it's a good thing: LLVM, especially with the Clang front end has already accomplished a lot, and yet has so much potential ahead of it; while GCC was not a liability, I guess this very customized fork was a bit high maintenance. Still, after 20 years of faithful service for Cocoa development at NeXT then Apple, it seems a bit cavalier for GCC to be expelled in mere months between the explicit announcement and it actually being removed. Ah well.
But while I have no worry with LLVM when doing desktop development (that is, when targeting x86 and x86-64), however LLVM targeting iOS (and thus ARM) is young. Very young. LLVM has only been deemed production quality when targeting ARM in summer 2010, merely one year ago and change. Since then I have heard of (and seen acknowledged by Chris Lattner) a fatal issue (since fixed) with LLVM for ARM, and it seems another has cropped up in Xcode 4.2 (hat tip to @chockenberry). So I think the decision to remove GCC as an option for iOS development was slightly premature on Apple's part: a compiler is supposed to be something you can trust, as it has the potential to introduce bugs anywhere in your code; it has to be more reliable and trustworthy than the libraries, or even the kernel, as Peter Hosey quipped.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with using Clang or LLVM-GCC for iOS development, in fact at work we switched to Clang on a trial basis (I guess it's now no longer on a trial basis anymore, certainly not after the iOS 5 SDK) about one year ago, and we've not had any issue ourselves nor looked back since. Indeed, for its relative lack of maturity and the incidents I mentioned, LLVM has one redeeming quality, and it's overwhelming: Apple is itself using LLVM to compile iOS; Cocoa libraries, built-in apps, Apple iOS App Store apps, etc., millions upon millions of lines of code ensure that if a bug crops up in LLVM, Apple will see it before you do… provided, that is, that you don't do things Apple doesn't do. For instance, Apple has stopped targeting ARMv6 devices starting with iOS 4.3 in March 2011, and it is no coincidence that the two incidents I mentioned were confined to ARMv6 and did not affect ARMv7 compilation.
foregoing ARMv6 development from now on. In this day and age it's not outlandish to have new projects be ARMv7-only, so do so. If you need to maintain an existing app that has ARMv6 compatibility, then develop and build it for release with Xcode 4.1 and GCC, or better yet, on a Snow Leopard machine with Xcode 3.2.6 (or if you don't mind Snow Leopard Server, it seems to be possible to use a virtual machine to do so).
avoiding unaligned accesses, especially for floating-point variables. It is always a good idea anyway, but doubly so now; doing otherwise is just asking for trouble.
ensuring your code is correct. That sounds like evident advice, but I've seen in some cases incorrect code which would run OK with GCC, but was broken by LLVM's optimizations.
I'd even be wary of advanced C++ features; as anyone who has spent enough time in the iOS debugger can attest from the call stacks featuring C++ functions from the system, Apple uses quite a bit of C++ in the implementation of some frameworks, like Core Animation, however C++ is so vast that I'm not sure they make use of every nook and cranny of the C++98 specification, so be careful.
avoiding anything else you can think of that affects code generation and is unusual enough that Apple likely does not use it internally.
Now there's no need to be paranoid either; for instance to the best of my knowledge Apple compiles most of its code for Thumb, but some is in ARM mode, so you shouldn't have any problem coming from using one or the other.


Brothers and sisters, we need to protect each other.This is some very important information that might save your hands, your eyes or even your life. This has been verified by snopes, the outfit that busts Internet hoaxes. They are the best. This is happening in the USA right now, but the chemistry is very simple and, no doubt, will spread. Friends, please be very, very careful.
Kids are putting Drano (sodium hydroxide), one other common household item and a little water in soda bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns. When you go to pick up the trash, and the bottle is shaken just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up a gas and explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot hydrochloric (muratic) acid, of which even a small amount causes severe acid burns as well.
Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A common household item. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.
People are finding these "bombs" in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the trash. But, you'll never make it!!! It takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing.
Kids are doing this for kicks.
This is evil in its purest form. Violence for the sake of violence. Destruction for its own sake. No goal. No point. No purpose. No way to negotiate. A step beyond political terrorism.
See "SNOPES" below -- it's true -- the video at SNOPES shows the Indiana State Police Bomb Squad detonating one -- it's truly horrifying!
..... .. I checked "Truth or Fiction" and "they" agree this is TRUTH!!!
So be warned and beware.
As stated above, at present, these have appeared only in the USA. However, they are so easy to make that almost certainly,they will soon be appearing in many places.
PLEASE READ WHAT IS ON THE SNOPES SITE. SPREAD THE WORD.
I'm surprised the kids didn't blow themselves up in the process!

Q: Eclipse ADT plugin log out on linux Hi i have debian wheezy and installed eclipse and also the ADT plugin.
However, when i try to do "drag and drop" of some views to a layout, it logs me out of my session.
For example, if i try to drag and drop the "Person Name" view from the text fields, it logs me out, and the kdm screen appears. (i have KDE).
This seems really weird. I tried creating a new user but the problem is still there, thus it is not a user configuration conflict.
Any ideas? Has anyone any similar problems?
UPDATE
As Marko suggested, i found some X logs and it seems that there is a segmentation fault.Here is the backtrace i get:

REVIEW: VALLEY OF ASTONISHMENT by Anna Marienko ('15)
Valley of Astonishment, directed by Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne, is a play that offers its audience a chance to take a journey into the mysteries and wonders of the human mind. The play explores a kaleidoscope of puzzling, bizarre, fascinating, at times comic and at times tragic manifestations of synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes a blending and overlapping of the five senses within the individuals affected with it, leading them to perceive the world in a distinctly unique way.
The play itself is, as Ben Brantley of The New York Times stated in his review, "minimal to the point of Spartan." The only objects present on stage – a light wooden table and three chairs – compose the play's entire set, causing the focus to rest on the actors and their characters solely. It is through their stories, their experiences and interactions with each other and the audience that we come to understand what synesthesia is, and how the world feels for those who have this condition. Kathryn Hunter's portrayal of Sammy Costas, a 40-year old woman struggling to make sense of the sudden fame and recognition that her condition and exceptional memory skills brought upon her, is both childlike and comic, at times tragic and vulnerable, but always genuine and touching. Her gestures, vivid facial expressions and rich, descriptive monologues directed towards the audience in a confiding and intimate way compensate for the production's lack of the overall visual effects and help the audience envision the world from the perspective of a person to whom words have colors and texture and sounds manifest themselves in the shapes of physical objects.
The minimalism of the production is what ultimately pushes members of the audience to use their own imagination in order to picture the world from a synesthet's perspective. Instead of explicitly visualizing the mental processes and perceptions of the characters on stage, the play urges us to leave our mental comfort zone and take a journey into the unknown hidden terrains and valleys of the human mind and learn to see the world through the eyes of a synaesthet – learn to see the sounds, feel the words, or taste the music.
The play itself is reflective of Peter Brook's vision of theatre. Firstly, it shows Brook as a director committed to experimental theatre. Rejection of the traditional story-telling plot structure and conventional stage setting creates an emphasis on dialogue. Throughout the performance the actors reach out to the members of the audience, interact with them and strive to make them a part of the theatrical story-telling process. The card trick scene, for example, demonstrates how actors are trying to interact with members of the audience and engage them into the performance. During the course of the play, the actors, musicians and the audience are united in their quest of exploring the mind and its wonders and they step into this journey together.
Such organization of the play reflects Brook's belief that there should be a strong connection established among the actors and their audience in order for a "theatrical miracle" to occur and in order for the audience to feel moved by the play. To Brook, human connection is the essence of good theatre and this can be clearly seen in Valley of Astonishment. Seeing the actors interact with the audience, inviting people to come on stage and engaging them into the events of the performance made the theatrical experience more authentic. The intimate atmosphere of Polonsky-Shakespeare Theatre For a New Audience resonated very well with the interactive, audience-centered format of the play.
I highly enjoyed Valley of Astonishment for its creativity both in terms of its unique central idea and the way that the performance was structured; the actors and their ability to quickly switch in and out of character were truly fascinating. Valley of Astonishment makes us appreciate the difference of perspective and vision, suggesting that science alone can never fully understand the human mind and all its mysteries. There is, like Ben Brantley noted in his review, something mystical in the human mind, which Valley of Astonishment was able to access and present.
