Mozilla at the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, said its upcoming mobile operating system Firefox OS, will be supported by 18 mobile operators from around the world including Twitter.
In a brief announcement, Manuel Deschamps of Twitter said that "When those devices begin to ship, Twitter for Firefox OS will be available in the Firefox Marketplace".
"Firefox OS," is a new HTML5-powered mobile OS built on open Web standards, and it takes advantage of the power of the web. Firefox says that allows for faster performance compared to how HTML5 typically works on Android- or iOS-powered devices, where web apps have been often seen as inferior to native apps on those platforms.
Even the phone dialler is built as an HTML5 application.
"Firefox OS brings the freedom and unbounded innovation of the open Web to mobile users everywhere," said Gary Kovacs, CEO, Mozilla, in a statement.
Adding, "Similar to other mobile apps, Twitter for Firefox OS has a rich interface, featuring the Home, Connect, Discover and Me tabs, as well as the search and compose Tweet icons, so you can easily find and send Tweets from anywhere in the app," Deschamps said.
Additionally, Twitter for Firefox OS also has a unique feature called "Web Activities," that lets you tweet photos directly out of any app that also supports web activities such as the built-in photos app.
In addition, Mozilla has also launched the Firefox Marketplace app store.
Check more info at Twitter for Firefox OS, and Firefox OS.
In addition, Live Tiles lets you Pin Twitter accounts, lists and searches to your start screen, giving you quick access to some of your favorite Twitter content.
"New navigation adds four new tabs – Home, Connect, Discover and Me – bring you closer to the things you care about.
And, finally, Me tab lets you read and respond to your direct messages; see your lists, favorites and more; view and update your profile," informs Twitter.

OTTAWA, Wednesday, January 13, 2016 – After a great success in 2010 and 2012, Carrefour Santé – Eastern Ontario's Largest French Health and Well-Being Expo – is back for its 3rd edition. The kickoff was given today at a press conference hosted at La Cité College.
Held under the honorary co-presidencies of Mrs Huguette Labelle and Helene Campbell, the 2016 Carrefour Santé brings together nearly 100 exhibitors offering health services in French in Eastern Ontario. A series of 20 workshops and conferences covering health and well-being in addition to a healthy lifestyle are also on the program.
The Carrefour Santé's full program is reflective of the needs and interests of the community and of vital health forces from the region. To meet the needs of different audiences – youth, parents, elders and health professionals – the Expo offers specific workshops to each segment such as well-being related to mental health, or alternatively, healthy aging. The Expo has also developed several partnerships with leading institutions such as the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ottawa, La Cité College, Montfort Hospital's Centre Prométhée, the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est, the Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario, the Fédération des aînés et des retraités francophones de l'Ontario, Retraite en Action, as well as the Regroupement des gens d'affaires de la capitale nationale, to name only a few.
The official program will be available on the web site www.CarrefourSante.ca as of February 15. Admission to the Carrefour Santé is free. If you wish to participate in the workshops, advanced registration is recommended as spaces are limited.
For more information or for interview requests, please contact Bernadette Sarazin, Brio Stratégies, at 613-298-4708 or bernadette@briostrategies.ca.


The representation, by means of TV pictures, photographs, graphs, etc., of an object or area by the sensing and recording of patterns of light or other radiation emitted by, reflected from, or transmitted through the object or area. Two broad classifications are chemical imaging, i.e. photography, and electronic imaging. Both are important in astronomy, a variety of photographic emulsions and electronic devices being available for different frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The majority of information gathered by ground-based and orbiting telescopes is in digital form so that it can be manipulated by computer. This information can be derived directly from electronic devices, such as CCDs, photon-counting detectors, or photovoltaic detectors, associated with the telescope. These devices respond to radiation by converting it to an electrical signal. They are more sensitive than photographic emulsions, responding to lower levels of intensity and/or producing an image in a shorter time. Photographic plates do, however, provide an image of a much greater area of the sky than existing electronic devices. Machines, such as COSMOS, have therefore been built to measure data on photographic plates rapidly and automatically and produce results in digital form.
An electronic detector can be moved across the focused image of an astronomical object or area of the sky, or the image can be moved across the detector. The electrical signal from the detector is sampled in such a way that an array of values corresponding to an array of portions of the complete image is obtained. Alternatively the image falls on a large number of closely packed detectors, all producing a signal. In each case the result is a set of numbers corresponding to some property of the individual image portions, e.g. the intensity at a particular wavelength. The individual portions into which the image is divided are called pixels (short for picture elements). The greater the number of pixels per image, the higher the resolution, i.e. the greater the detail seen.
This numerical version of the image will normally reside in a computer system, and can be manipulated in different ways in order to highlight different aspects of the original image; the manipulative techniques are known as image processing. The final form of the display can be a TV monitor, a visual display unit attached to a computer, a plotting device, or photographic film, and information derived from the image can also appear in graphs and tables, and be subjected to statistical and numerical analysis.
The formation of images of objects.
The production of graphic images, either from a video camera or from digitally generated data (see visualisation), or the recording of such images on microfilm, videotape or laser disk.
(1) Creating a film or electronic image of any picture or paper form. Imaging is accomplished by scanning or photographing an object and turning it into a matrix of dots (bitmap), the true meaning of which is unknown to the computer, only to the human viewer. Scanned documents containing text can be encoded into computer data with page recognition software (see OCR). See micrographics, image processing and document imaging.
(2) The illusion of a live performance in audio playback. Microphone placement during recording, post-recording mixing in the studio and the performance of the speakers when listening all contribute to the quality of the imaging. Geared to the type of venue such as a concert hall or nightclub, surround sound processing in the audio equipment creates or enhances effects that attempt to make imaging more realistic.
From the playback side, imaging quality is derived mostly from the speakers. The stiffness and mass of the speaker cone, along with the materials used to suspend the cone in its frame, are the primary criteria that affect the speaker's capability of reproducing sound accurately, and thus the imaging. See surround sound and audiophile.
Truth, deceit, and neuroimaging: can functional magnetic resonance imaging serve as a technology-based method of lie detection?
For example, we want to find the change points in fMRI data and define a block indicator [?
Measuring network synchrony using fMRI can provide more precise information about the locations of brain regions acting together than EEG can capture.
fMRI results from one motor-mapping task and two language-mapping tasks in 22 consecutive patients were included in multi-subject analyses.
The proximity of the tumour to the primary motor cortex was of particular concern, so the patient was referred to CUBIC for an fMRI scan that was deemed crucial to establish safe resection margins and avoid injury to these eloquent cortical areas during surgery.
Optical imaging methods are also limited to the cortical surface, whereas PET and fMRI methods allow mapping of neuronal activation deep in the brain.
Enthusiasts hope that courts will be more receptive to fMRI lie detection techniques.
Participants performed a series of tasks in two tests during an fMRI session in a 3T scanner (General Electric, Waukesha, Wl) 2-3 hours after waking the next morning.
Does OSA and increasing age combine to decrease brain function?
The fMRI scans showed that participants who received chromium picolinate had greater activity in regions of the brain associated with higher cognition.
Before we discuss fMRI or the other forms of functional imaging covered after the discussion of MR imaging (MRI) techniques, we must make several introductory comments about functional imaging.

Discover what data is listed in the Web & FTP Statistics section in a given hosting account.
Site visitor stats are a fundamental part of any web hosting service. The amount of people which have been to your site can supply you with more information on how it's performing and will reveal to you if you need to work on improving it. The web statistics for a site include the day-to-day and the monthly visits (unique and reloads), the most visited pages and the referrer Internet sites, so if you notice that particular pages are getting much less traffic than others, you could consider making them more captivating to the visitors to use the full potential of your Internet site. In case you are advertising on the web, you'll also be able to see if the money was well-invested or not, due to the fact that the Internet statistics typically include information about third-party websites and search engines which refer visitors to your website. Having detailed and accurate statistics can help you enhance your site and plan your marketing and advertising strategies better, so as to get more potential customers.
The Webalizer and AWStats apps, supplied with all Linux shared web hosting, will provide you with thorough hourly, daily and monthly reports regarding the amount of site visitors on any website hosted in your account. You are able to access this info with a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel and view neat graphs and tables. You may save/download them, if needed. The reports provide much more than only the total number of visits, though - you can keep track of the span of time the site visitors spent on your website, the first and the last page they opened, the pages that received most hits, the visitors' IPs and region, the referring search engines, the keywords which were used, and so on. This information will give you an even better perception of how your Internet sites are doing and what sections have to be boosted, plus information about the consequences of any advertising campaigns you may be running.


An "army brat" growing up, Knack said his family moved a lot and the closest thing he has to a hometown is Blacksburg, Va.
Knack got his degree in mathematics from Radford University with a minor in computer science and trained as a computer maintenance technician during his four years of service with the U.S. Air Force.
During the next two decades, Knack worked for a variety of companies in a number of capacities and different places. He came to Charlotte when he joined First Union Bank in 2000 and said he was a generalist in his field. He'd done everything from PC maintenance to tech support and stayed on when the company merged with Wachovia, and later Wells Fargo.
When he was let go in 2009, Knack said he wasn't surprised.
Knack spent the next few years working as an IT contractor at jobs that ranged from five weeks long to a year. His first marriage had ended years earlier, and Knack said he continued on the IT path to keep up with child support.
He and Suzette married in 2005 after meeting online, and he credits her with keeping them afloat during the transition.
Suzette is a contract management specialist for a company that deals with medical supplies, maintenance and insurance. She said they realized there would never be "a good time" for him to transition away from IT but was happy to take on the role of breadwinner.
Knack said he briefly considered teaching high school math but had always toyed with the idea of working in a kitchen. He took some more culinary courses, and in 2012 he shadowed his cousin, an executive chef, for a month in Virginia Beach.
Last September, he got a job in the dish pit at 131 Main in Cornelius, one of his favorite places to eat. Though managers told him he'd probably spend three to six months working that job, he advanced to prep cook in 59 days.
Knack spent five months there before he joined the Compass Group in April, where his primary role is to prepare breakfast and lunch for a facility that sees more than 3,000 customers a day.
Knack said he thinks of himself as a home cook in a professional kitchen and has no aspirations of becoming an executive chef.
"That's just not how I want to live," he said, adding the long hours and high pressure aren't appealing.
Suzette said watching the change in her husband has made it all worthwhile.
Now, 20 pounds lighter and no longer suffering from back pain from hours at a computer, Knack wants his future to be in food. Whether it's writing the great American cookbook, working in food service management or teaching kitchen skills to students as a home economics teacher, he's leaving his options open.

Q: Update a textbox dynamically when a PHP table is updating. In PHP codeigniter, I have an interface to add sales records. I select the item and quantity and enter it to the table below.
At the bottom there is a textbox to hold the total price. So I need to update the text box when I'm adding records to the table. how to do it?

A: you cant do this directly from php try using jquery/javacript
Procedure to do it from jquery
In a way that when ever value of the input field is changed call a function which will re calculate the sum of all the fields again
Say you have a table in html like
|id|Name       |Price|
----------------------
|1 |Some name  |10   |
|2 |Some name  |20   |
|3 |Some name  |30   |
|4 |Some name  |40   |
----------------------
|  |           |100  |

and and input field some where in a form.
Id of that input field = "priceInputField" and Class of each column containing price = "priceValue" and Id of the column containing the total is "totalPrice"
so your jquery function would look like
$("#priceInputField").on("change",function(){
    //Some code to add the new row in the table
    var updatedPrice = 0;
    $(".priceValue").each(function(){
        updatedPrice = updatedPrice + $(this).text;
    })
    $("#totalPrice").text("updatedPrice");
});

A: PHP can't update things dynamically as you type. You would have to submit the form, then in PHP you calculate the total, and return the result on a new page. If you want to update the total as changes are being made without having to submit the form and wait for a new page to load, you will need to use Javascript.

A: You can use asynchronous javascript (AJAX) for dynamic changes in table or page. Please see Ajax & PHP Powered MySQL Table Editor / Viewer / Data Grids
http://www.webhostingreviewslist.com/development/top-10-ajax-php-powered-mysql-table-editor-viewer-data-grids/?wb48617274=255F1A36

A: you can use
ajax  -> update database return success
appendTo ....   show new record
->call function cal price

Americans with private health insurance to be reimbursed for at-home COVID-19 tests
Americans with private health insurance will be reimbursed for at-home tests, President Biden is announcing Thursday, and international travelers will now be required to undergo stricter COVID-19 testing, according to a phone briefing by a senior administration official Wednesday.
The new measures the president is expected to describe in remarks at the National Institutes of Health are part of a new administration strategy to curb the virus this winter, as the new Omicron coronavirus variant prompts concerns about how easily it may spread, how severe its symptoms are and whether existing vaccines are effective against it.
International travelers will be required to test negative within one day of their departure to the U.S., regardless of vaccination status or nationality. The earlier Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order already applied to virtually all inbound international travelers, including U.S. citizens, but had allowed fully vaccinated travelers a 3-day window, compared to a 1-day window, to be tested for unvaccinated travelers, based on the agency's modeling. The updated requirement would remove the extra days that fully vaccinated travelers had been allowed to be tested, an attempt to reduce the risk of bringing COVID infections into the U.S.
Mr. Biden's remarks are not expected to broach domestic testing requirements or post-travel quarantine or testing requirements. Those who are uninsured or who have public health insurance, such as Medicare or Medicaid, will not be eligible to be reimbursed for at-home test purchases, although the administration will distribute 50 million free at-home tests at health clinics and other community sites.
Related News Panic buttons and bulletproof vests: Fearful lawmakers stock up on protection
The changes are being rolled out a day after the first case of the Omicron variant was detected in the U.S., in a fully vaccinated person in Northern California who had recently traveled from South Africa. However, the measures the president will be discussing — which also include a nationwide campaign to ramp up booster shots and efforts to make sure kids stay in school despite the pandemic — do nothing new to get more at-home tests on the market. The senior administration official who spoke with reporters Wednesday night noted the administration has already worked with manufacturers to increase the production of at-home tests. At-home tests also will not be retroactively covered.
The official said the administration will rely on the Families First Act, as amended by the CARES Act, to require insurance providers to make at-home tests free.
As a part of the national campaign to increase booster shots, pharmacies will expand appointment availability, and millions of Americans will be sent texts, calls and emails to notify them of booster shot availability. The president will also announce the expansion of family vaccination clinics to be a "one stop shop" for grandparents, parents and kids to get vaccinated together.
The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control will also review its school COVID-19 prevention policies so entire classrooms and schools won't have to shut down over a positive case.
Related News Trump says he will not let former White Home counsel testify to Congress
The president will also announce the extension of the federal mask mandate on public transit into mid-March. It had been set to expire in January.

The Originals Isn't Exactly Original
"The Originals" is just another "Vampire Diaries" set in modern day America with lots of flash backs. It's interesting because we already know many of the characters, but do we really need another "Vampire Diaries?"
Once Upon a Time in Wonder(ful)land
I've really enjoyed the series "Once Upon a Time" which has managed to intertwine several classic fairy tales into one big story and bring them into the modern day. Now the spin off series, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" has hit screens and is very different to its sister show. There is a brief connection with Knave of Hearts in Storybrook with the White Rabbit before he heads back to Wonderland but that is the only connection we get to see in the first episode.

Ithacius von Ossonoba war Bischof von Ossonoba (Faro, Portugal).

Ithacius hatte im Oktober 380 auf der Synode der spanischen und aquitanischen Bischöfe in Cäsaraugusta (Saragossa, Spanien) die asketische Lehre von Bischof Priscillian verurteilen lassen.

Er gewann in Gallien Kaiser Gratian für sich. Nach der Ermordung seines Gönners Gratian und der Thronbesteigung von Magnus Maximus 383 floh Ithacius nach Trier. Als Folge seiner Darstellung der Situation wurde 384 in Bordeaux eine weitere Synode abgehalten. Zu besonderer Bedeutung gelange Ithacius durch seine Rolle als Ankläger des Bischofs Priscillian von Avila auf der Synode von Trier im Jahr 385.

Als Anklagepunkte führte er sexuelle Ausschweifungen und Zauberei an. Da Letzteres als Kapitalverbrechen galt, nahm er den Tod Priscillians und seiner Anhänger bewusst in Kauf. Eher als die angeführten Anklagepunkte wird die streng asketische Lebensweise der Priscillianer auf den eher dekadent lebenden Bischof Ithacius bedrohlich gewirkt haben. Die Zahl der Anhängerschaft Priscillians breitete sich rasch in Spanien und auch bis nach Aquitanien aus, so dass sich die spanischen Bischöfe, wie auch der reich begüterte gallische Episkopat zum Einschreiten gezwungen sahen.

Ithacius' Bemühungen um eine Verurteilung durch den neuen weströmischen Kaiser Magnus Maximus führten mit zur Hinrichtung Priscillians und mehrerer seiner Anhänger.

Als Folge seiner Handlungen wurde Ithacius einige Jahre später exkommuniziert und musste in die Verbannung gehen.

The Saint Lawrence Seaway (French: la Voie Maritime du Saint-Laurent) is the common name for a system of locks, canals and channels that permit ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, as far inland as the western end of Lake Superior. The Seaway is named for the Saint Lawrence River, which flows from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean. Legally, the Seaway extends from Montreal, Quebec, to Lake Erie and includes the Welland Canal.
This section upstream of the Seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams along the way. A number of the locks are managed by the Canadian Saint Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, and others are managed by the American Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, which together advertise the Seaway as part of "Highway H2O".[1] The section of the river downstream of Montreal, which is fully within Canadian jurisdiction, is regulated by the offices of Transport Canada in the Port of Quebec.

The Saint Lawrence Seaway was preceded by a number of other canals. In 1871, locks on the Saint Lawrence allowed transit of vessels 186 ft (57 m) long, 44 ft 6 in (13.56 m) wide, and 9 ft (2.7 m) deep. The Welland Canal, constructed in 1830, at that time allowed transit of vessels 142 ft (43 m) long, 26 ft (7.9 m) wide, and 10 ft (3.0 m) deep, but it was generally too small to allow passage of larger ocean-going ships.
The first proposals for a bi-national comprehensive deep waterway along the St. Lawrence were made in the 1890s. In the following decades, developers proposed a hydropower project as inseparable from the seaway; the various governments and seaway supporters believed that the deeper water to be created by the hydro project was necessary to make the seaway channels feasible for ocean-going ships. United States proposals for development up to and including the First World War met with little interest from the Canadian federal government. But the two national governments submitted St. Lawrence plans to a group for study. By the early 1920s, both The Wooten-Bowden Report and the International Joint Commission recommended the project.
Although the Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King was reluctant to proceed, in part because of opposition to the project in Quebec, in 1932 he and the United States representative signed a treaty of intent. This treaty was submitted to the United States Senate in November 1932 and hearings continued until a vote was taken on March 14, 1934. The majority voted in favor of the treaty, but it failed to gain the necessary two-thirds vote for ratification. Subsequent attempts between the governments in the 1930s to forge an agreement came to naught due to opposition by the Ontario government of Mitchell Hepburn, and that of Quebec.[citation needed]. In 1936, John C. Beukema, head of the Great Lakes Harbors Association and a member of the Great Lakes Tidewater Commission, was among a delegation of eight from the Great Lakes states to meet at the White House with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to get his support of the Seaway concept.
Beukema and St. Lawrence Seaway proponents were convinced that such a nautical link would lead to development of the communities and economies of the Great Lakes region by enabling ocean-going ships. In this period, grain exports to Europe were highly important to the national economy, along with other commodities. The negotiations on the treaty resumed in 1938 and by January 1940, substantial agreement was reached between Canada and the United States. By 1941, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister King made an executive agreement to build the joint hydro and navigation works, but this failed to receive the assent of Congress. Proposals for the seaway were met with resistance; primary opposition came from interests representing existing harbors on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and internal waterways, as well as from the railroads associations. The railroads carried freight and goods between the coastal ports and the Great Lakes cities.
In the post-1945 years, proposals to introduce tolls to the Seaway were not sufficient to gain support by the U.S. Congress for the project. Growing impatient, and with Ontario desperate for the power to be generated by hydro-electricity, Canada began to consider "going it alone." This seized the imagination of Canadians, engendering a groundswell of St. Lawrence nationalism. Canadian Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent advised President Harry S. Truman on September 28, 1951 that Canada was unwilling to wait for the United States and would build a seaway alone; the Canadian Legislature authorized the founding of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority on December 21 of that year. Fueled by this support, St-Laurent's administration decided over the course of 1951 and 1952 to construct the waterway alone, combined with the Moses-Saunders Power Dam. (This became the joint responsibility of Ontario and New York: as a hydro-power dam would change the water levels, it required bilateral cooperation).
The International Joint Commission issued an order of approval for joint construction of the dam in October 1952. Senate debate on the bill began on January 12, 1953, and the bill emerged from the House of Representatives Committee of Public Works on February 22, 1954. It received approval by both the Senate and the House by May 1954. The first positive action to enlarge the seaway was taken on May 13, 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Wiley-Dondero Seaway Act[2] to authorize joint construction and to establish the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation as the US authority. The need for cheap haulage of Quebec - Labrador iron ore was one of the arguments that finally swung the balance in favor of the seaway. Ground-breaking ceremonies took place in Massena, New York, on August 10, 1954. That year John C. Beukema was appointed by Eisenhower to the five-member St. Lawrence Seaway Advisory Board.
In May 1957, the Connecting Channels Project was begun by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. By 1959, Beukema was on board the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Maple for the first trip through the U.S. locks that opened up the Great Lakes to ocean-going ships. On April 25, 1959,[3] large, deep-draft, ocean vessels began streaming to the heart of the North American continent through the seaway, a project which had been supported by every administration from Woodrow Wilson through Eisenhower.
In the United States, Dr. N.R. Danelian (who was the Director of the 13-volume St. Lawrence Seaway Survey in the U.S. Department of Navigation (1932–1963)), worked with the U.S. Secretary of State on Canadian-United States issues regarding the Seaway, persevering through 15 years to gain passage by Congress of the Seaway Act. He later became President of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Association to promote Seaway development to benefit the American Heartland. The Seaway was heavily promoted by the Eisenhower administration, who were concerned with the its locus of control.[4]
The seaway opened in 1959 and cost C$470 million, $336.2 million of which was paid by the Canadian government.[5] Queen Elizabeth II and President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally opened the Seaway with a short cruise aboard Royal Yacht Britannia after addressing crowds in St. Lambert, Quebec. 22,000 workers were employed at one time or another on the project, a 2,300-mile-long superhighway for ocean freighters.[4] Port of Milwaukee director Harry C. Brockel forecast just before the Seaway opened in 1959 that "The St. Lawrence Seaway will be the greatest single development of this century in its effects on Milwaukee's future growth and prosperity." Lester Olsen, president of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce, said, "The magnitude and potential of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the power project stir the imagination of the world."[4]
The seaway's opening is often credited with making the Erie Canal obsolete, and causing the severe economic decline of several cities along the canal in Upstate New York. By the turn of the 20th century, the Erie Canal had already been largely supplanted by the railroads, which had been constructed across New York and could carry freight more quickly and cheaply. The economic decline of Upstate New York was precipitated by numerous factors, only some of which had to do with the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Under the Canada Marine Act (1998), the Canadian portions of the Seaway were set up with a non-profit corporate structure; this legislation also introduced changes to the federal Ports.[6]
Great Lakes and Seaway shipping generates $3.4 billion in business revenue annually in the US. In 2002, ships moved 222 million tons of cargo per year. Overseas shipments, mostly of inbound steel and outbound grain, accounted for 15.4 million tons, 6.9% of the total cargo moved.[4] In 2004, Seaway grain exports accounted for about 3.6% of the US' overseas grain shipments, according to the U.S. Grains Council. In a typical year, Seaway steel imports account for around 6% of the U.S. annual total. The toll revenue obtained from ocean vessels is about 25-30% of cargo revenue.[4] The Port of Duluth shipped just over 2.5 million metric tons of grain, which is less than the port typically moved in the decade before the Seaway opened Lake Superior to deep-draft oceangoing vessels in 1959.[4]
International changes have affected shipping through the Seaway. Europe is no longer a major grain importer; big US export shipments are now going to South America, Asia and Africa. These destinations make Gulf and West Coast ports more critical to 21st-century grain exports. Referring to the Seaway project, a retired Iowa State University economics professor who specialized in transportation issues said, "It probably did make sense, at about the time it (the Seaway) was constructed and conceived, but since then everything has changed."[4]
Certain Seaway users have been concerned about the low water levels of the Great Lakes that have occurred since 2010.[7]
Expansion proposal[edit]
Comparison of bounding box of Panamax and Old SeawayMax.
The Panama Canal had been completed in 1914 and also serves ocean-going traffic. In the 1950s Seaway designers chose not to build the locks to match the Panama size, 1,000 feet long by 110 feet wide. Instead, they built them to match the smaller locks of Welland Canal, which opened in 1932, and are 766 feet long by 80 feet wide.[4] The US Army Corps of Engineers did a study to expand the St. Lawrence Seaway, but the plan was scrapped in 2011 because of tight budgets.[8][9]
In the long term, the Seaway is planned for expansion in 2030. The expansion would allow outsize container ships to travel into the Great Lakes. The maximum height clearance would be 150 feet because of the Mackinac Bridge, Ambassador Bridge, Blue Water Bridge, and the New International Trade Crossing to be completed in 2015. Maximum water draft would be 35 or 36 feet compared to 27 feet now. The Port of Montreal, at the eastern end of the St. Lawrence Seaway, allows 36 foot drafts in the Estuary. The locks would be 1000 × 105 feet.
Compared to the Panama Canal or the Panamax, the allowable ship sizes would not be as large on the New SeawayMax. The Panamax allows for ships that are 190 feet above the water line (air draft) and a water draft of 41.2 feet max. Ship length is 50 feet shorter and width is the same size as the expansion proposal.

Locks in the Saint Lawrence River[edit]
Iroquois Locks
There are seven locks in the Saint Lawrence River portion of the Seaway. From downstream to upstream they are:[11]
St. Lambert Lock—Saint Lambert, QC
Côte Ste. Catherine Lock—Sainte-Catherine, QC
Beauharnois Locks (two locks)—Melocheville, QC at 45°18′12.6″N 73°55′36.5″W / 45.303500°N 73.926806°W / 45.303500; -73.926806 and 45°19′0.1″N 73°55′6.6″W / 45.316694°N 73.918500°W / 45.316694; -73.918500

Locks in the Welland Canal[edit]
There are eight locks on the Welland Canal. Four at St. Catharines, Ontario, three at Thorold, Ontario, and one at Port Colborne, Ontario.
Lock, channel dimensions and other useful data[edit]
The size of vessels that can traverse the seaway is limited by the size of locks. Locks on the St. Lawrence and on the Welland Canal are 766 ft (233.5 m) long, 80 ft (24.4 m) wide, and 30 ft (9.14 m) deep. The maximum allowed vessel size is slightly smaller: 740 ft (225.6 m) long, 78 ft (23.8 m) wide, and 26.5 ft (8.1 m) deep. Many vessels designed for use on the Great Lakes following the opening of the seaway were built to the maximum size permissible by the locks, known informally as Seawaymax or Seaway-Max. Large vessels of the lake freighter fleet are built on the lakes and cannot travel downstream beyond the Welland Canal. On the remaining Great Lakes, these ships are constrained only by the largest lock on the Great Lakes Waterway, the Poe Lock at the Soo Locks (at Sault Ste. Marie), which is 1,200 ft (365.8 m) long, 110 ft (33.5 m) wide and 32 ft (9.8 m) deep.
A vessel's draft is another obstacle to passage on the seaway, particularly in connecting waterways such as the St. Lawrence River. The depth in the channels of the seaway is 41 ft (12.5 m) (Panamax-depth) downstream of Quebec City, 35 ft (10.7 m) between Quebec City and Deschaillons, 37 ft (11.3 m) to Montreal, and 27 ft (8.2 m) upstream of Montreal. Channel depths and limited lock sizes mean that only 10% of current ocean-going ships, which have been built much larger than in the 1950s, can traverse the entire seaway. Proposals to expand the seaway, dating from as early as the 1960s, have been rejected since the late 20th century as too costly. In addition, researchers, policymakers and the public are much more aware of the environmental issues that have accompanied Seaway development and are reluctant to open the Great Lakes to more invasions of damaging species, as well as associated issues along the canals and river. Questions have been raised as to whether such infrastructure costs could ever be recovered. Lower water levels in the Great Lakes have also posed problems for some vessels in recent years, and pose greater issues to communities, industries and agriculture in the region.
While the seaway is currently (2010) mostly used for shipping bulk cargo, the possibility of its use for large-scale container shipping is under consideration as well. If the expansion project goes ahead, feeder ships would take containers from the port of Oswego on Lake Ontario in upstate New York to Melford International Terminal in Nova Scotia for transfer to larger ocean-going ships.[12]
A useful website hosts measurements of wind, water levels and water temperatures.[13] A real-time interactive map of Seaway Locks, Vessels and Ports is available at [2]. The NOAA-funded Great Lakes Water Level Dashboard compiles statistics on water depth at various points along the Seaway.[14]
Ecology[edit]
To create a navigable channel through the Long Sault rapids and to allow hydroelectric stations to be established immediately upriver from Cornwall, Ontario and Massena, New York, Lake St. Lawrence was created behind a dam. It required the condemnation and acquisition by the government of all the properties of six villages and three hamlets in Ontario; these are now collectively known as "The Lost Villages".[15] The area was flooded on 1 July 1958, creating the lake. There was also inundation on the New York side of the border, but no communities were affected. A notable adverse environmental effect of the operation of the Seaway has been the introduction of numerous invasive species of aquatic animals into the Great Lakes Basin. The zebra mussel has been most damaging in the Great Lakes and through its invasion of related rivers, waterways and city water facilities.
The Seaway, along with the Saint Lawrence River it passes through also provides opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as boating, camping, fishing, and scuba diving. Unfortunately invasive species and artificial water level controls imposed by the Seaway have had a negative impact on recreational fishing.[16] Of note, The Old Power House near Lock 23 (near Morrisburg, Ontario) became an attractive site for scuba divers. The submerged stone building has become covered with barnacles and is home to an abundance of underwater life.[17]
The Seaway passes through the Saint Lawrence River, which provides a number of divable shipwrecks within recreational scuba limits (shallower than 130 ft (40 m)) The region also offers technical diving with some wrecks lying at 240 ft (73 m). Surprisingly, the water temperature can be as warm as 75 °F (24 °C) during the mid to late summer months. The first 10 ft (3 m) of Lake Ontario is warmed and enters the St. Lawrence river as the fast-moving water body has no thermocline circulation.
On 12 July 2010, Richelieu (owned by Canada Steamship Lines) ran aground after losing power near the Côte-Sainte-Catherine lock. The grounding punctured a fuel tank, spilling an estimated 200 tonnes of diesel fuel, covering approximately 500 m2. The Seaway and the lock were shut down to help contain the spill.[18]
International trade and tourism[edit]
The seaway is important for American and Canadian international trade. The seaway handles 40 to 50 million annual tons of cargo. About 50% of the cargo carried travels to and from international ports in Europe, Middle East and Africa. The rest comprises coastal trade, or short sea shipping, between various American and Canadian ports.[19] Among international shippers are found:
Polsteam maintains a fleet of dry-bulk only vessels that transit every two weeks from the Dutch town of IJmuiden to Duluth, Minnesota
Fednav Group, private[20] international dry-bulk only ocean transportation group, with routes between the Port of Antwerp and Sorel, Quebec even in wintertime[21]
World Shipping Inc., a privately owned[22] and truly global logistics operation[23]
Canfornav, a subsidiary of Canfor[24] which does dry-bulk only and registers most of its vessels in Cyprus
American Steamship Company, a subsidiary of the General American Transportation Corporation (GATX)[25]
Rand Logistics, which was formed from the acquisition of Lower Lakes Towing Ltd,[26] and does not ship containers
McKeil Marine, headquartered in Hamilton, provides service to Arctic ports[27]
Groupe Desgagnes,[28] owner of the MV Camilla Desgagnés, an arctic steamer
The Port of Montreal is the site of operations of
Maersk Line, a unit of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group
Mediterranean Shipping Company
Compagnie Maritime d'Affrètement / Compagnie Generale Maritime, a French transshipper
Hapag-Lloyd acquired the Port of Montreal docks of, along with the rest of, CP Ships in 2005
Orient Overseas Container Line, a Hong Kong-based multinational
Arrimage Quebec has stevedoring operations in Baie-Comeau, Becancour, Chicago, Cote-Sainte-Catherine, Gaspe, Gros-Cacouna, Hamilton, Matane, Oshawa, Pointe-au-Pic, Port Colborne, Portneuf, Quebec, Rimouski, Saguenay, Sept-Iles, Sorel-Tracy, St. Catharines, and other ports in the Maritime provinces of Canada.[29]
The Saint Lawrence seaway (along with ports in Quebec) is the main route for Ontario grain exports to overseas markets.[30] Its fees are publicly known, and were limited in 2013 to an increase of 3%.[31] A trained Pilot is required for any foreign trade vessel,[32] and the employment of these skilled personnel follows the law of supply and demand. A set of rules and regulations are available to help transit.[33]
Commercial vessel transit information is hosted on the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation website.
Since 1997, international cruise liners have been known to transit the Seaway. The Hapag-Lloyd Christopher Columbus carried 400 passengers to Duluth, Minnesota that year. Since then, the number of annual Seaway cruising passengers has increased to 14,000.[34]
Every year, more than 2,000 recreational boats, of more than 20 ft and one ton, transit the Seaway.[35] The tolls have been fixed for 2013 at $30 per lock, except for the Welland Canal, where $30 pays for all eight locks between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.[36] Lockages are scheduled 12 hours a day between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00 from June 15 to September 15.[37]
A list of organisations that serve the Seaway in some fashion, such as Chambers of Commerce and Municipal or Port authorities, is available at the SLSDC website. A 56-page electronic "Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System" Directory is published by Harbor House Publishers.[38]

P Chidambaram taken to AIIMS after he complains of stomach ache, other illness
PTI New Delhi | Updated on October 28, 2019 Published on October 28, 2019
P Chidambaram (File photo)
He was brought to AIIMS at 5.40 PM and was discharged at 7 PM.
Former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, who is currently in the custody of Enforcement Directorate in the INX Media case, was taken to AIIMS on Monday, after he complained of stomach ache and other related issues, and was discharged after treatment.
Sources said Chidambaram was taken to the RML Hospital in the morning and was shifted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) later in the evening.
Chidambaram complained of illness and pain in the stomach, the sources said, adding that he was treated for gastrointestinal-related problems.
Sources at AIIMS said that the former union minister was brought to the hospital around 5.40 PM and was discharged around 7 PM. He was examined by a team of doctors in the old private ward, they said. The doctors remained tight-lipped about the health issues he faced.
While those close to Chidambaram said "his condition is not good" as he is having "some issues", the ED sources claimed "there was nothing serious" with the former finance minister.
Chidambaram has been lodged in the Tihar Jail since September 6 over alleged corruption in the INX media case after the CBI booked him. He was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the case, but the ED slapped another case against him and took his custody.

Pro Cycling Icon Levi Leipheimer Partners with "My Tahoe" License Plate Campaign
Published: Jul 01, 2019
Tahoe Athlete Supports Recreation, Conservation Projects Funded by License Plate Fees
TAHOE CITY, Calif.—Professional cycling legend Levi Leipheimer has finished shooting public service ads in support of the Lake Tahoe specialty license plates program.
Leipheimer, a two-time U.S. national champion, Olympic medalist, and three-time Tour of California winner, has continued to use his role in cycling to advance good causes, including through his King Ridge Foundation, which supports programs serving at-risk youth across the country.
"I'm truly honored to show my support for preserving, restoring and enhancing Lake Tahoe, one of the greatest places on earth," said Leipheimer.
Visuals of Leipheimer mountain biking above Lake Tahoe's north shore will be used in advertising in local and regional media outlets. Over 96 percent of Lake Tahoe license plate fees come back to Lake Tahoe, resulting in more hiking and biking trails as well as water quality and restoration projects.
"We're grateful to Levi for his support of the Lake Tahoe license plate program," said Jane Freeman, California Tahoe Conservancy Deputy Director. "Tahoe is a world-class outdoor recreation destination, and the funds from Tahoe plate sales provide a critical boost for restoration and recreation projects."
To purchase a Tahoe plate, visit tahoeplates.org.

Swarm Guide - What we need to know & what you need to do!
Apart from houses swarm bees have been found in storages boxes, barbeques, garages, swimming pool motor covers, dog kennels, bird/possum boxes and children's play equipment.
Our beekeepers can quickly remove swarm bees from your property. We are happy to discuss your situation so give us a call.
Where the bees are located?
How close they are to your home?
If a ladder is required to reach them?
The following is an extract from 'PRIMEFACT 93' a publication of the NSW Department of Primary Industries by Mick Rankmore, Regulatory Specialist, Apiaries, Agriculture & Fisheries Compliance Operations Gunnedah NSW.
Swarming is part of the natural reproductive life cycle of honey bees. The swarming season is usually between September and December but on rare occasions colonies may swarm at other times. Warmer weather, combined with an abundance of nectar and pollen, stimulate the colony to increase in population. This causes over-crowding which prompts some bees to swarm so they can reproduce. Swarms usually emerge from the colonies between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm on warm sunny days. The old queen, together with about half of the bees from the colony, leave the hive and cluster on a nearby object such as a fence or a small shrub. The swarm may remain for a few hours or 1–2 days while scout bees (worker bees) search for a permanent nesting site. Once found, the swarm will move to this site and establish a new colony.
Bee swarms are not normally aggressive because they are gorged full of honey and are homeless, which reduces their defensive behaviour.
A swarm will become increasingly defensive, if provoked, the longer it remains in a given location.
In the original colony, a new queen emerges and continues to maintain the parent colony.
People who are not familiar with honey bees often have a fear of them.
If you see a swarm settling on your property keep children and pets inside the house until the flying bees have clustered onto a bush or another object.
After the swarm has clustered and most of the bees have stopped flying, it is normally safe to be outside the house.
Arrange to have the swarm removed (see 'Removal of swarms' below).
Do not attempt to move the swarm by hosing it, throwing stones at it, smoking the bees or taking any action to make the swarm move. This action will only aggravate the bees and encourage them to sting in defence. Interfering with the swarm will make it more difficult for a beekeeper or licensed pest control operator to deal with the bees.
It is easier to have a swarm cluster removed from your property before it moves to a permanent location, such as a wall cavity, where it will be more difficult and expensive to remove.
Do not attempt to remove a swarm yourself.
Don't delay! The longer the swarm is left the more likely it is to become aggressive or find a permanent place in your home. Swarms that have established themselves in homes usually require the services of a licensed pest exterminator and, if your not so lucky, a licensed builder to help get them out of your walls all adding to the cost.
We do charge a small fee for our services however this is considerably less than you will pay to have the swarm removed from your house by the exterminator and the builder.
What we do with your bees?
We are often asked what we do with the bees after we remove them from your property.
The last thing we as beekeepers want to do is destroy them as bees are such an important part of our ecology! Unlike a pest exterminator, who will poison the swarm, we install them into a box (known as a brood box) before placing them into quarantine where they are regularly inspected for disease.
When our beekeepers are happy that they are disease free they are then incorporated into the general apiary population.

I think he's also forgetting that the Monomancy has to be authorized by a local bishop or archbishop, can't just drop the M word and then it's fangs out.
Having unauthorized duels to the death results in a vist from the local templar.
You've been playing around the magic that is black
But all the powerful magical mysteries never gave a single thing back

It's also virtually unheard of for it to be refused. Take Bishop Ecaterina the Wise who got challenged out of nowhere by a random Neonate and was told, no, you absolutely have to do it.
Remember the Vinculum doesn't prevent monomancy and that's, "I feel like this fellow Sabbat member has to go." The Vinculum also doesn't provide loyalty to the SABBAT.
It provides loyalty to your PACK members and the Sabbat you share with..
I don't know how I missed that
> Remember the Vinculum doesn't prevent monomancy
it does,
you got it backwards, it's "monomacy does not prevent vinculum" instead,
you're still subject to vinculum in monomacy
it's also a canon tactic used by sabbat elders, if they want to nulify some hostility one sabbat or sabbat pack has towards them,
they make some arrangement with whoever is handling the vinculum during gatherings and set-up a vinculum with said hostile party (Archons and Templars)
> It provides loyalty to your PACK members and the Sabbat you share with..
yes, and in sabbat gatherings, the vinculum usually extends outside of pack boundaries (Archons and Templars, again)
of course, certain individuals or packs may insist on restricting their vinculum to packmates,
but that usually comes with its own set of problems,
your access to such sect gatherings will be more limited (like sascha vykos having to leave gatherings early to avoid problems),
distrust from other packs, and whatever hostility they have towards you would make it difficult for you to organize a mass defection
My Sabbat Players Guide said the Tzimisce would grab well-dressed people to be Shovelheads. It was the Tremere Antitribu who never did War Parties.
I thought I mentioned outside of crusade, my bad. Yes they do indulge in shovel head creation, as part of mass embrace attacks. But get with the program or get turned into a novelty pipe for.the cathedral organ kicks in then.

I liked what I have read so far.
Just have to be more than their Pack and they're also a bunch of ancient dark mystics. You can't tell me they don't know a demon or two to help.
Since Oblivion is a branch of necromancy now, and deals with the shadowlands abyss not the far umbra... that possibility is gone, their are no demons at the far end of Oblivion any more, that mystery is solved, it's just like in wraith, Cosmic Horror is banned in V5, you know that. So nope, they don't know any demons, unless they have gone out of clan to find them.

Have you forgotten the importance of Zoroastrianism to Lasombra? The Lasombra just like religion. If it weren't for the Setites it'd be their jam. Given their fixation on Ahriman, it'd just be weird to go all "Judeo-Christian" on us.
Sometimes I feel like CTPhipps spends more time trying to spin the lore to make the retcons make sense than the people writing the actual books do.
The thing that makes the most sense to me is that V5 is basically happening in a parallel universe (some of the Mage books covered the idea of each line happening in parallel realities where many things were the same, but others different, in order to explain some of the variances between the game line canons). V5 is the reality right next door to the V20 universe and while its close, there are differences (Thinbloods having alchemy instead of weak disciplines for example, some clans having slightly different clan disciplines/banes, etc.).
Treat V5 like the Post-Crisis DCU vs. V20/Pre-Crisis DCU and it'll all make sense.
Spencer from The Hills
Christianity has several major motifs that exist in Zoroastrianism; they have a lot more in common than simply being religions. In this case, Christianity has demons and Zoroastrianism has daevas. Their origins and roles in the universe might not match, but both could be misinterpretations of entities that interest Lasombra.
None of which impacts that Oblivion is tied to the literal Elohim of D:TF.
That seems silly and wrong given the lengths people like the good folk at OPP have gone to in order to incorporate the lore of Beckett's jyhad Diary and V20 into V5.
Also, the fact that V5 is written in large part by the same writers as V20.
Mind you, I don't mind gaming retcons because I don't consider them as things that need to be justified in universe. Vicissitude and Obternation should never have been treated as more than a variation of vampiric power to begin with. There was too much focus on making them unique, IMHO, when all vampire Disciplines should be weird and stylized to the Kindred themselves.

As a fan of GURPS Infinite Worlds and one of those apparently rare people who likes both V20 and V5, I find that appealing.
Just to complicate things, my persona headcanon uses the Mind's Eye Theatre background for the V20 "worldline". I'm not a LARPer but the latest MET Vampire: The Masquerade book is probably the best and most comprehensive background resource I've ever seen. (It's also beautiful).
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I feel like a lot of the mid-level lore (so the stuff that was added in after all the establishing lore, when the setting was understood and people wanted something new) ended up being cheesy and convoluted to a degree that would be ridiculed if it were released now, but was accepted because there was no precedent for it to go against. V5's policy of simplifying Bloodlines, Disciplines, and all the fiddly add-ons that got a full writeup because it fleshed out books pushes things back to where the system started, but people act as though their toys are being taken away because they don't have baked-in lore of Vicissitude being some alien virus or whatever. Forgetting that you can always treat vampirism as some alien virus or whatever.
Honestly I feel similarly about the entire expanded World of Darkness, like Vampire came out first and the gimmick is that there's this supernatural world beneath that which is known, whose inhabitants have great power and could ruin society if they so chose. And then they published Mage and Changeling and Wraith and for each of those we got another instance of "Oh you thought the Vampire world was the wild one? Oh no, the Vampires think they run the show but actually they're small potatoes compared to the Flavor of the Month."
It's the Worf Effect in an RPG setting.
If only... ah... I'll rephrase that.
Nobody should have to go to great lengths to get something to "work". If V5 didn't make such wild leaps of faith it'd be very easy for v20 fans to convert to the new religion.
V20 has a lot of writers and the quality is all over the place. Lore of the Bloodlines is a completely different animal to Lore of the Clans, even if don't talk about the subjective value of quality. LotC gives us a text faithful to the earlier clanbooks for v20, LotB to varying extents re-imagines almost every bloodline into something the authors thought would be cool. Just because someone wrote something in the V20 era doesn't mean V5 is the brainchild of OG vampire writers.
People aren't learning new things, they're not special, they're just unlocking the potential denied to them by a vindictive demiurge. All souls are equal, and you're all in prison with the illusion that they are not.
Sorry I just find the Setite/Tremere Gnostic/Hermetic outlook so much more compelling and fiting of 'gothic punk' than some 'you're special and have unique powers so you get to stand higher than a few people' thing that v5 is doing. Your humble opinion is, in my arrogant dickery opinion, anathema that devalues the punk aspect of the setting.

BJD always felt more like trying to shoehorn V5 concepts they knew were coming into V20 the same way the tail-end 3.5e D&D books were basically testbeds for 4E mechanics.
As to being basically the same teams;
V20 Core Authors: Justin Achilli, Rose Bailey, Matthew McFarland, Eddy Webb
V5 Core Authors: Kenneth Hite, Mark Rein•Hagen, Matthew Dawkins, Juhanna Peterson, Martin Ericsson, Karim Muammar, Karl Bergström, Jennifer Smith, Jason Andrew, Jason Carl
I don't see a single author in common there. Now I'll admit that this has changed of late with Justin Achilli coming back on board and directions seeming to be changing... but most of the complaints about hard to justify events that you spend a lot of effort contorting things to justify came from the earliest days of V5 where the creative teams weren't at all the same.
Basically, the team now is working to clean up the lore mess left by the previous teams from early V5. To borrow another DC analogy; the current team is trying to pull a Rebirth on the New52 that was early V5 and I commend their effort... but it's still a lot easier to justify the early stuff as an alternate reality than to try and claim everything was always leading to the retconned V5 setting.
As to retcons not needing to be justified; I heartily disagree. One of the things I pride myself on is my 25 year old Mage campaign where every PC has existed in the same continuous universe (even when the current group decides their current characters have finished their stories, the new PCs enter the same universe that's been affected by the decisions of all those who came before.
When characters can't have Chimestry without also having Presence (and cuts into your options for Obfuscate or that you must have Dominate to use Viscissitude and lose Protean options because of the way Discipline and Amalgam rules work, there's a problem if you're converting from a previous campaign.
When established vampires who've been fine without much interaction with mortals for centuries (other than as food) suddenly have to pick up human morality pets or fall to their Beasts there's a problem with the retcons and claiming it's the same universe as before.
