Disturbing news circulated today Western news agencies — with radar in the mountains of Nepal have disappeared the plane with 21 passengers on Board.
According to the media, referring to the words of a local official, aerosun small size of the airline is owned by Tara Airlines.
"The passenger plane disappeared on Wednesday morning, February 24. On Board the aircraft were 21 people: 18 passengers and three crew members," reports the associated Press.
Later information on the number of people onboard was confirmed by a representative Tara Airlines Bhim Raj Rai. Bypassing this, he told reporters about the route followed by the aircraft. the representative of the airport in Pokharae Yogendra of Kuvera, noted that communications with the pilots of the ship, was lost almost immediately after takeoff.
"The plane took off from Pokhara to Jomsom this morning, he lost contact," said Rai in comments to Agence France-Presse.
As the edition underlines, on the route of the plane there is no airstrip. At the moment, the search plane was sent two helicopters, but their work is greatly complicated by bad weather conditions.

Redbourn man, 44, escapes jail over child porn charges
Samantha Lewis
A 44-year-old pornography addict caught with indecent images of children at his village home has avoided a jail sentence.
Stephen Mason was handed a 36-month community order at St Albans Crown Court after admitting to having more than 1,000 pornographic images, which were found when police raided the property in October last year.
He was convicted on 10 counts of making indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children, and a further two counts of possessing extreme pornographic images.
Mason, who lives in Redbourn, was also put on the sexual offenders register for five years and disqualified from working with children.
The court heard how officers had searched the house and seized equipment containing 1,070 images, including a computer, external hard drive and DVDs.
Prosecutor Alex Krickler also told the court that when Mason was interviewed by police he recognised he had a pornography addiction but was surprised by the amount of images that were recovered.
He went on: "He said he goes on the internet after he has been drinking and he was drinking regularly up to 100 pints per week.
"He said he has sought to get some help and he was not specifically going looking for images of children."
Mr Krickler added: "He accepted full responsibility for what was on his equipment and said he was disgusted in himself and needed help."
Recorder Samantha Leigh also served Mason with a sexual offences prevention order that states he can only use devices to access the internet that can be monitored by a public protection unit.
Passing sentence she said: "It is clear that when people know that someone has been viewing indecent images of children the feelings of revulsion are obvious but I have to look at the sentencing guidelines.
"In my view this is a relatively low number of images and I would be looking at a starting point of 12 weeks. In my view a sentence of a couple of weeks is not long enough as the public need protecting."
In addition Mason will attend a sex offenders programme, alcohol treatment for a minimum of six months and pay costs of �450.

30/01/2011 - Auckland (NZL) - 34th America's Cup - AC45 sea trial n ° 8 - Anniversary day - Round Rangitoto Island.
31.01.11 After participating in the Auckland Anniversary Day regatta, a race that took competitors around Rangitoto Island in the Hauraki Gulf, ORACLE Racing skipper Jimmy Spithill was confident he'd shattered the speed record for the prototype AC45.
Overnight analysis of the GPS logbook shows that confidence was justified. Spithill and crew topped out at 29.9 knots (approximately 34 MPH/55 km/h) in the race with winds blowing between 25 and 30 knots.
Although one-tenth of a knot shy of the 30-knot barrier, the new speed record surpasses the 28-knot mark set by Murray "The Captain" Jones last week.
When they got shoreside, some crewmembers thought that Jones had fiddled with the speedo, hindering its readings particularly off the wind. But there's no denying the AC45 has speed to burn.
The AC45 surpassed 20 knots during its maiden voyage on Jan. 17. Two days later the crew was sailing comfortably at 25 knots. Then Jones set the 28-knot mark on Jan. 21.
Today's outing proved that the AC45 is capable of handling extreme conditions.
"We put the bow in a couple of times at 30 knots and loaded everything up," said Matt Mason. "We were on our toes the whole time and it was great for the boat and the crew to come out of it relatively unscathed."

Gunmen in Brazil are brazenly intimidating indigenous communities with a hit list of prominent leaders, following the high profile murder of Nísio Gomes last month.
Reportedly employed by powerful landowners in Mato Grosso do Sul state, the gunmen are creating a climate of fear to prevent Guarani Indians from returning to their ancestral land.
The Guarani said the men shouted insults such as, 'We're going to burn these buses full of Indians!' Members of a government team were also present at the scene.
Marcos Veron was killed in 2003 during an attempt to return to his land.
Gomes' killers have yet to be arrested, but last week Brazil's Public Ministry said six men had been charged with the murder of two Guarani teachers in 2009.
The accused include a notorious Brazilian rancher who held the teachers' community hostage, and local politicians.


I arrived Friday morning on an early (too early) flight, but still only arrived at the end of the keynote by Catherine Bracy about Code For America. I only caught enough to pique my interest, though, and not enough to really write anything more interesting about.
In the first talk I attended, the key takeaways for me were around keyword-only arguments (sadly, a feature not supported by python 2.7 natively), and around checking for whether an iterable is a container (like a list) that can be iterated over more than once, or just a single-use iterator.
All of Brett's suggestions were spot on. Check out the talk for the leadup, but one thing I'd love to do is take his example for an iterable-container class, and convert it into a reiterable decorator.
As you might expect from the original author of namedtuple, Raymond's talk focused on how you can use python features to write simple, Pythonic code, even over un-Pythonic interfaces, and how simply focusing on PEP8 compliance can leave your code in a suboptimal state. I loved the way he clarified the interface in his examples (and his delivery was excellent).
there are lots of tools to help with the mechanical transformations (futurize and modernize).
six can help us build libraries that work in both Python 2 and 3.
You still have to think about how your strings are used (are they text? or are they bytes?).
We (edX) should be making a push towards running on Python 3 (and we're not that far away: https://caniusepython3.com/check/a48ab687-f601-40d1-a12d-b4c91bca717b).
I had heard of, but never really explored, Rust before this talk. Dan covered the bare basics of the language, and how it approaches memory safety, along with how to use cFFI to execute a Rust function from within Python, and how you can use that to improve the performance of your CPU heavy code. This isn't a need that we've really had yet at edX, but it's a great tool to have in your bag of tricks if it's needed.
This talk was excellent, and packed! David walked through bare-bones, socket level implementations of several different concurrency models (single-process multithreading, single-threaded event-loop, event-loop with multi-process pool, event-loop with multi-threading), and demonstrated how each of those models interacted with multiple clients and with the GIL.
modular-odm - Perhaps a way to build the next version of XBlock fields?
Guido's keynote hit two topics. The first was a call to action towards moving from Python 2 to Python 3, and a rumination about what to do with the ~50000 projects on PyPi that haven't moved (and perhaps won't, because they are abandoned). He suggested perhaps emailing the authors of projects that haven't been updated recently, and suggesting co-ownership for the projects. Later, in the bus on the way to the airport, I talked with a fellow attendee named Jonathan about the possibility of automating forking of abandoned/co-owned projects onto github (that seems perhaps overly aggressive now that I write it down, but perhaps it's a reasonable option for those projects that are truly abandoned, and which have compatible licenses).
Guido's second topic was a call for more diversity in the Python community, and to set a goal of having at least two (I think) female core committers by next PyCon.
The thing that excited me most about this talk was having a pattern for defining pylint-style rules in a declarative way, rather than having to write down an imperative AST visitor. If the language proves to be reasonable, then that would significantly lower the barrier for teams to detect their own set of linting violations, and to contribute new linters to the open source community.
This was probably the highlight of PyCon for me. Adam (another edXer) noticed it on the Open Spaces board, and so I was able to sit in and listen as Guido and a number other folks discussed the final details of PEP-484. This included Peter Ludemann and Jukka Lehtosalo, both of whom I was able to talk to later in the hall as well. Jukka is the author of MyPy, which is a static type checker for Python, and the coordinator for typeshed, which provides a place to centralize the type stubs for the Python standard library. Peter is working on pytype, a tool that infers types based on Python 2 usage and generates type hints for those functions.
I'm very excited to follow (and hopefully work on) these projects, so that we can start using them at edX to provide a little more safety for the core of our platform.
Lots of good suggestions in this one, plus a fun story about a bug in glibc inside a subprocess API. I missed the first part of the talk (about system tracing tools), so this is on a short list of mine to re-watch.
This talk covered the basics of the asyncio module, and the basics of a distributed hash table. Both were interesting in their own right, but they also reminded me that we need to make sure that we build in an asynchronous API and allow for concurrency when we're building the edX common client (so that we guide developers towards writing code that parallelizes as many API calls as it can).
The big takeaway from this one for me was the statement "profiling gives you new hypotheses, but benchmarks are your experiments". This was in the context of performance profiling and optimization as an application of the scientific method. I know that I've been tempted in the past to compare two different runs of a benchmark under profiling, and consider those results to be relevant. But I think Jesse's point is crucial: code under profiling is being distorted by the profiling itself, so any comparisons between profiling runs is going to reflect that distortion.
This was Guido's chance to explain the upcoming type hinting to the Python community. He kept mostly to the syntax, and to the reasoning behind the feature. My impression was that the audience reaction was mixed, but for me, it was exciting to see what's coming.

Trump Declassified FBI Memo
February 12, 2018 February 14, 2018 Vincent Verdile 0 Comments FBI, Trump, Memo, DOJ, FISC
By Vincent Verdile
On February 2 2018, Republican Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, had his memo alleging Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) misconduct, de-classified by President Donald Trump, according to Politico. With its initial release, the White House stated "it raised serious concerns about the integrity of the justice department and FBI's Russia investigation," reported by BBC. On the contrary, Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to remain confident in the department and said he was determined to "fully and fairly ascertain the truth," also reported by BBC. Both the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Congressman Adam Schiff, and former FBI Director James Comey shared similar views. Respectively, it was both "a Republican effort to derail Mr. Muller," and an effort to "destroy trust" of the intelligence community, according to The Independent.
The six page memo highlights "the legitimacy and legality of certain [Department of
Justice] DOJ and [Federal Bureau of Investigation] FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)" and "the troubling breakdown of legal processes," which relates to the filing of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant for Carter Page, a former campaign advisor for President Donald Trump.
The first point made by the memo is the concern of the Christopher Steele dossier used as evidence for requesting the FISA warrant. This dossier was prepared by Steele, a former British spy, who was paid over $160,000 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hilary Clinton Campaign to "obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia." The middle man for the agreement was both the law firm Perkins Cold, and research firm Fusion GPS. Although known to the FBI, it was not disclosed in the FISA warrant.
Another key piece of evidence, according to the memo, was the warrant's emphasis on a September 26, 2016 Yahoo News article This allegedly aligned with Steele's dossier, which focuses on Carter Page's July 2016 trip to Moscow. However, filed in British Courts, Steele admitted to meeting with Yahoo News and other outlets in Sep 2016, as directed by Fusion GPS. This ultimately disproves the Yahoo News article, seeing as how the information was leaked by Steele himself. Steele was suspended and terminated from being an FBI informant due to "unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI." Once again, this crucial detail, highlighting Steele's reliability, was omitted from the FISA warrant.
Also called into question was the former British spy's political stance. Stated in the memo, the FBI was alerted to a conversation between Steele and then-Assistant Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. Steele allegedly told him he was "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president." Furthermore, Ohr's wife was employed with Fusion GPS, and actively assisted the opposition research for the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Neither of these important details were shown on the FISA warrant application.
GOP lawmakers also highlighted an issue with the mentioning of George Papadopoulos in the FISA warrant. They argued the "connection" made between him and Page lacked evidence, and the FBI agent in charge of the counter intelligence investigation in July 2016 lacked credibility. Agent Pete Strzok was reassigned after "improper" text messages were found between him and FBI attorney Lisa Page. They consisted of pro-Clinton and anti-Trump conversations, in addition to "extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media" and meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an "insurance" policy for Trump's election. These issues with Agent Strzok were also never disclosed in the FISA warrant.
Democrats continue to push for the release of their own counter memo, which has been blocked by House Intelligence Republicans. Democrat Senator Dick Durbin warned of a "constitutional crisis" if the memo is used as justification for President Trump to fire Muller or end the investigation into his possible collusion with Russia.

During binding, both the protein and the DNA can alter their conformation. In the case of proteins, this conformational change can involve small changes in side-chain location, but can also involve local refolding. These changes upon binding of specific DNA sequences serve to facilitate the interaction and also to enhance the binding of other proteins, such as when dimerization of two proteins occurs at a single recognition site. Changes such as these can be the basis of cooperative binding e

No role for Hercule Poirot: HBR readers hoping for an Agatha Christie-style denouement from authors Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall will be disappointed.
In this month's Harvard Business Review, Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall are at it again, this time opining about The Feedback Fallacy.
Buckingham and Goodall advance the overall proposition that telling people what we think of their performance doesn't help them thrive and telling people how to improve hinders learning. Never mind whether they actually want feedback.
"That other people are more aware than you are of your weaknesses, and that the best way to help you, therefore, is for them to show you what you cannot see for yourself." By arguing against this straw man they're trying to discredit feedback givers. But who made this a comparison between the relative insight of a feedback giver and receiver? This is not a choice anyone has to make. Why can't you develop self-insight while learning from others? We all have insight and we all have blind spots.
"That the process of learning is like filling up an empty vessel." By arguing this the authors are using exaggeration to mock the idea of knowledge transfer from one person to another. It's plainly ridiculous. There are no empty vessels, just people who are interested in learning from others and from feedback. The professionals I've worked with over the years are more like a sponge than an empty vessel. Feedback is one of methods they'll use to absorb learning, but not the only one. Again, we don't have to choose one or the other.
"That great performance is universal, analyzable, and describable, and that once defined, it can be transferred from one person to another, regardless of who each individual is." Again, does anyone actually claim that any job can be performed by any person with the right training? No. But do organisations set standards and then develop capable and motivated professionals against those standards? Yes.
The upshot of these three myths, according to the authors, is that that "they take our own expertise and what we are sure is our colleagues' inexpertise as givens; they assume that my way is necessarily your way" – self-centredness as they label it. That's a conclusion based on something else entirely: a style of leadership that is selfish and not person-centred; a style without emotional intelligence and devoid of relationship skills.
The gaping hole in their analysis, not mentioned in this article, is that some people actually want feedback, and some of those people even want straight talking. Neither of these common scenarios are dealt with in this article. But in an interview with the Washington Post, Marcus Buckingham claims that Millennials don't actually want feedback, they just want attention. That's a massive claim. You'd want some pretty credible independent research to back that one up, right? His evidence? "My daughter has 1.4 million Instagram followers, and what Lilia wants is an audience. She's not looking for feedback. She's looking for interaction." And that's it, and we're meant to believe it. Even if Buckingham manages to back up this claim at some point in the future, we still need to ask ourselves whether we're going to accept the transition of young people who have been overly protected by concierge parents and now expect concierge managers to take on their care.
The authors also rehash arguments from previous HBR articles: ratings lack of consistency, evaluations are prone to bias, and our brains respond better to positive feedback than negative feedback. All reasonable arguments, but hardly new ones, and certainly nothing that might warranting the front page of HBR. (A cynic might argue that the front cover makes a little more sense when you realise that the article is the forerunner to a book by the authors that will shortly be published by Harvard Business Review Press).
There are statements in this article about excellence that also deserve some attention. Their position can be boiled down to this: you can't define it, and you can't give people feedback about where they sit against this standard. I'm very wary when anyone starts to say that excellence cannot be defined and discussed for two reasons.
First, it's not true. Excellence (behaviours, skills, outcomes and actions) can be defined. We do this by considering projects that went well, and ones that didn't. We consider times when the client was delighted, and times they weren't. We identify colleagues who inspire, and behaviours that frustrate. We do the hard graft, drafting statements about standards that can be debated and refined. That's not "prefabricated" to use the authors dismissive language. Hiding behind the view that 'excellence is so idiosyncratic I couldn't possibly tell you about it' is just lazy, and I can't think of an HR leader I've worked with who'd accept it.
Second, the absence of any set of performance standards leads to a bigger problem where biases and favouritism rage out of control. This reminds me of the old days in professional service firms when you'd ask a partner what it takes to be a partner and they'd say "X-factor!". What that (usually) white male partner meant was 'someone like me!" Anyone who's committed to diversity, which interestingly gains no mention in this article, will see the dangers.
Look for outcomes. The authors say: "Excellence is an outcome, so take note of when a prospect leans into a sales pitch, a project runs smoothly, or an angry customer suddenly calms down. Then turn to the team member who created the outcome and say, "That! Yes, that!" By doing this, you'll stop the flow of work for a moment and pull your colleague's attention back toward something she just did that really worked." We say: that sounds an awful lot like –wait for it – feedback – with an exclamation mark!
Replay your instinctive reactions. The authors say: "There's nothing more believable and more authoritative than sharing what you saw from her and how it made you feel. Use phrases such as "This is how that came across for me," or "This is what that made me think," or even just "Did you see what you did there?" Those are your reactions—they are your truth—and when you relay them in specific detail, you aren't judging or rating or fixing her; you're simply reflecting to her the unique "dent" she just made in the world, as seen through your eyes." We say: so, it's not actually feedback, apparently, if it's your truth. I'm confused: I thought self-centredness was the problem. Again, using language like "fixing" is absurdly self-serving. Who really thinks like that? There's also a table (see right) that tells the reader how to phrase their feedback with some subtlety, though some of the examples given are unintentionally humorous. The authors deeply underestimate the average HBR reader.
Never lose sight of your highest-priority interrupt. The authors say: "If your team member screws something up, you have to deal with it. But remember that when you do, you're merely remediating—and that remediating not only inhibits learning but also gets you no closer to excellent performance. As we've seen, conjuring excellence from your team members requires a different focus from you. If you see somebody doing something that really works, stopping her and dissecting it with her isn't only a high-priority interrupt, it is your highest-priority interrupt." We say: OK, we can probably agree here: if you need to give immediate and negative feedback, you should do it. And if you need to give positive feedback, you should make it a priority. Glad we sorted that out.
Explore the present, past, and future. The authors say: "Getting him to think about specific things that are going well will alter his brain chemistry so that he can be open to new solutions and new ways of thinking or acting … Get him thinking about that and seeing it in his mind's eye: what he actually felt and did, and what happened next … Finally, turn to the future. Ask your team member, "What do you already know you need to do? What do you already know works in this situation?" This sounds like neuroscience's version of the feedback sandwich. Or are they just saying, 'have a coaching conversation instead of being directive?' This is well-established – where's the fresh insight?
By this stage of this tortuous article, I'd abandoned all hope of an Agatha Christie-style dénouement. This is an article that really has nothing to say. The self-serving nature of these four conclusions can be summarised as follows: well-constructed feedback is good, and poorly-constructed feedback is bad. But it's in the HBR, so expect it to garner uncritical acclaim, and lots of it.
Now, having criticised this article so heavily, its incumbent on us to set out a more productive way to engage in feedback. Here are four ways to approach feedback in your firm.
Build strong relationships first. Having a feedback culture is all about relationships. A strong relationship and bond between manager and employee will open the door on all types of feedback conversations. The authors even stumble on this point in their conclusion: "We humans do not do well when someone whose intentions are unclear tells us where we stand, how good we "really" are, and what we must do to fix ourselves." The underlying trust that a strong relationship yields means that the words don't have to be perfectly massaged into a form acceptable to the authors. We can be direct, honest and candid. Because we care. Forget the type of absurd corporate-speak advocated by the authors – just be respectful and make time for each other.
Be person-centred, not process-focussed. One of the biggest problems of with all the approaches you'll read or hear about is that they're process-focussed, not person-centred. A person-centred approach is precisely what professional services firms need. If you think about the typical high performing professional, they're likely to motivated and demotivated by a complex array of factors. Assuming, as the authors do, that you will demotivate someone by saying "you need to be more responsive", instead of motivating them by saying "when you did x, I felt y, or I didn't get that", is so prescriptive its absurd. That might work for some people but will be derided by others. What anyone who manages another professional knows is that everyone is different. Diversity is not just about appearance, it's also about mindset and approaches. A person-centred approach, one that actually listens to and connects with that individual and builds a strong relationship will work best. The confidence with which the authors sweep aside approaches that might actually work for some people is arrogant.
Take project-based feedback seriously. If you are really keen to depersonalise feedback and ensure that people remain open to better ways of working, then formalise an After-Action Reviews (AARs) culture in your firm. The type of candid feedback cultures that the authors criticise – like Bridgewater Associates – are ones that excel at learning from mistakes. The big upside of AARs is that personal criticism is left to one side in search of better ways of doing things. AARs are a chance to learn from what worked well and what didn't. It's based on analysing project objectives and outcomes and blame doesn't figure in a good AAR. It's the ultimate feedback and learning tool, yet it remains seriously underused by most firms. In an article very short on practical advice, it's curious that AARs were not mentioned as a means for feedback.
Don't accept a one-size-fits-all approach. Returning to the subject of myths, articles like these are very good at suggesting there's a single way to do things. Yet we know from the performance management debate that there are multiple viewpoints, each able to draw on evidence to support their conclusions. Only 18 months after Deloitte "reinvented" performance management in HBR, Facebook argued that evaluations should be kept in the same publication. We do not accept a one-size-fits-all approach to performance and feedback. What's right for one firm may differ from another. What's right for one person may not be right for another. The candid approach that works for Bridgewater Associates may not work for a retail organisation with a transient workforce. And what works for one professional firm, may not work for another.
So, where should a firm begin?
Start by looking beyond the one-size-fits-all / group-think approach and examine the underlying objectives of building a feedback culture. Is it about empowerment, growth, collaboration, culture or process improvement? Perhaps, in the case of professional firms, it's about finding ways to meet the more for less challenge.
With clarity about your underlying objectives, and with your knowledge of the culture and structure of the firm you'll be in a great position to design an approach that works, and critically, that is capable of evolving over time. (Forget revolutions, embrace evolution).
And finally, make it a person-centric approach, flexible enough to back the instincts of your partners, managers and employees as they take daily responsibility for nurturing relationships. There are plenty of good resources to rely on as you chart your course, but this article isn't one of them.

Parents protesting Ontario Sex-ed get strong support from local community
Participants were astonished by the strong support they received from the public driving by. That indicated to them a majority of citizens in the region opposed the Wynne government's planned radical sexualization of the province's children.

Sign a petition to stop Ontario's graphic sex-ed curriculum here.
SCARBOROUGH, Ontario. September 1, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Concerned parents and others protesting at the office of Scarborough Centre Liberal MPP Brad Duguid against the government's school sex-ed curriculum got a very cool reception from Duguid rep Scott Cavalier. However, that was markedly contrasted by frequent honks of support and thumbs up from vehicles passing by on busy Lawrence Ave. E. The emphatic praise from numerous cars and large transport trucks came in response to signs worded, "Honk Against Radical Sex-Ed".
The Scarborough Centre protest was one of over 100 that that took place at MPP constituency offices across Ontario from 11 a.m. to 12 noon Wednesday organized by Campaign Life Coalition together with the member organizations of the Canadian Families Alliance.

The numbers in Front of Duguid's office continued to build from 11 a.m. onwards, eventually reaching a maximum of 91 participants of all ages and cultural and ethnic origins.
A CP24 television truck and camera crew stayed throughout the protest conducting several live interviews with different participants during the hour's activities. Participants remarked that they were astonished by the strong support they were receiving from the public. That indicated to them that a majority of citizens in the region opposed the Wynne government's planned radical sexualization of the province's children.

A small delegation with Scarborough Centre demonstration coordinator Carmen Debono was allowed to enter the front of Duguid's office to present material for Duguid to representative Scott Cavalier since Duguid was not present. Debono read a portion of a statement for the MPP explaining the reasons for their opposition to the sex ed program.
Debono began stating,
"before I describe those concerns, I'd like to respectfully remind you that you were duly elected to represent your constituents. That means representing all of us concerned parents, grandparents and the thousands more who could not be here today. You are not the Party's representative to this riding. You are our representative to Queen's Park."
He continued,
We are here to request that you oppose the sex ed curriculum as publicly and as vigorously as possible. We're asking you to work towards its repeal in the Legislature, even if that means bringing it up at every turn, all the way to the 2018 election, to ensure it becomes the main ballot issue at that time.
Carmen Debono reading statement to Brad Duguid representative Scott Cavalier SOURCE: Steve Jalsevac/LifeSite
Debono then addressed what are considered serious flaws and dangers of the program,
We are here with heavy hearts. Heavy with concern for our children and grand children, whom we know will be sexualized by a flawed and reckless curriculum that is driven by the ideologies of people like Ben Levin (convicted child pornographer and pedophile) and Planned Parenthood, NOT by science. We know that much of what's in the Sex Ed program totally contradicts the guidelines for healthy, age appropriate information as established by reputable child and adolescent psychiatrists.
This curriculum will NOT increase child safety. It will make them MORE UNSAFE. Nor will it reduce their risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Instead, it will increase their risk for STIs, by nudging them towards premature sexual experimentation, and by withholding facts about the risks of certain sexual behaviours.
Among several specific details about the curriculum noted by Debono, a few were,
In Grade 3, children will be taught the disputed theory of gender identity, as if it were fact! Eight yr olds will be taught that whether you're a boy or a girl does not necessarily relate to your physical anatomy. It's merely a social construct! Gender is fluid. And you can choose your own gender! This flawed theory will produce serious sexual confusion in the minds of the young
Entire family came out to protest the curriculum SOURCE: Steve Jalsevac/LifeSite
In Grade 8, the teacher may recommend that students, as young as 13 years old: "Make a personal plan" about your "sexual activity". The teacher is to help students make a sexual plan for themselves, to help them decide how far they're willing to go with sexual activity, and then "stick to what I had planned". Again the undertone here is permissive. It will be perceived by many kids as giving license to become sexually active.
Debono, on behalf of the families of the Scarborough Centre concluded,
…opportunity for meaningful parental input (into the program) never took place. Parents still aren't comfortable with it. Kathleen Wynne is ramming this unpopular curriculum down the throats of parents. We ask you, for the sake of innocenent children, please protect them from being sexualized by this irresponsible sex curriculum.
During the reading, Duguid representative Scott Cavalier said very little and was quite cool to Debono and his small delegation allowed only just inside the entrance door. Cavalier declined to get into any discussion about the curriculum other than to say he would pass on the concerns to the MPP who is currently the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities for the government.
Back on the street, protesting families began to cluster and chant, "we say no, we say no" to the radical sex ed program that they feared would cause harm to many children and potentially damage the unity and lives of families in the province.

A: The answer here is to create a custom naming strategy by extending org.hibernate.cfg.DefaultNamingStrategy and then referencing it via hibernate config: hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy
Here is an example:

    @Override
    public  String foreignKeyColumnName(String propertyName, String propertyEntityName, String propertyTableName, String referencedColumnName) {
     String changed = CaseFormat.UPPER_CAMEL.to(CaseFormat.LOWER_UNDERSCORE, propertyName) + "_id";
     return changed;
    }

A: It will work.Try this way:
First table:
@Table(name = "buyer_city")
public class BuyerCity{

    //other fields
    .....

    @OneToMany(mappedBy="buyerCity", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JsonManagedReference
    private Set<BuyerCityMapping> buyerCityMapping = new HashSet<>();
}

Second table:
@Table(name = "buyer_city_mapping")
public class BuyerCityMapping{

    //other fields

    @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JsonBackReference
    @JoinColumn(name = "buyer_city_id")
    private BuyerCity buyerCity;
}

Russian Warship Spotted Close To Long Island
Janey Roberts 4 years ago No Comments
Phhoto: By Tim Hettler from New York, NY, USA (Montauk Point Lighthough) [CC BY 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
On the morning of Wednesday February 15th 2017, the Russian Warship SSV-175 Viktor Lenove was spotted thirty miles off the coast of Long Island, New York. Just imagine that you had rented a fishing charter off Montauk Point and suddenly ran into a Russian Warship. Well its more than imaginable, because the Russian Navy came pretty close to breaking through international waters yesterday not far from Montauk Point New York.
The Russian Warship had been spotted a day before 70 miles off the coast of Delaware. Within 24 hours the Russian Warship sailed North into the waters surrounding the Metropolitan area. The location of the Long Island spotting happens to be close to the United States Submarine Naval Base in Groton Connecticut. According to United States Government sources, the Russian Warship SSV-175 Viktor Lenove is equipped with the capabilities of intercepting vital communications data. Most alarmingly, the ship also carries an arsenal of missiles.
The Russian Warship has not violated any international laws because it has not crossed into United States territorial waters. However, it close proximity to the coast of Long Island has caused some concerns among various politicians and officials. Just the mere fact that the ship is equipped with what we must assume is highly sophisticated communications tracking capabilities is a freighting thought. However, certain members of Congress have suggested that the Russian Warships trajectory has simply been utilized for the point of being provocative. House of Representative member Peter King of Seaford was quoted as explaining that "it's just Russia trying to be provocative."* However, King added that all actions by Putin should be monitored and taken seriously.
Lt Col Valerie Henderson spoke for he United States Department of Defense stating that the Russian Warship had not entered into United States territorial waters. Henderson went on to state very diplomatically " We respect freedom of navigation exercised by all nations beyond the territorial sea of coastal State consistent with international law."
House Representative Lee Zeldin of Shirley New York was less diplomatic in his response to the sighting of the Russian Warship SSV-175 Viktor Lenove so close to his district. Zeldin argued that Russia's continued aggression was "a direct threat."*
Regardless of purpose, the sighting of a Russian Warship off the coast of Long Island is simply another reminder of the cold war days of the 1960's when students practiced nuclear bombing drills. The increased news stories over the issues of Russian interference in American Politics cast a heavy shadow over the current political climate. The sighting of a Russian Warship so close to the vicinity of the New York Metropolitan Area will undoubtedly only cause more waves of concern.

Live Updates: La Soufrière Volcano Situation Overview
Saturday, 16 January 2021, 20:00
Present La Soufrière Alert Level: ORANGE There is a highly elevated level of seismic and/or fumarolic activity or other unusual activity. An eruption may begin with less than twenty-four hours' notice.
Key Messages:
— The Eruption: An effusive eruption is ongoing at the La Soufrière Volcano. Lava is confined to the crater at this time. Steam and volcanic gases can be seen above the crater, with acidic gases damaging nearby vegetation. New cracks have formed on the crater floor and the 1979 pre-existing dome. The new dome could overtop the crater and send lava cascading down the volcano in the coming months if the ongoing rate of effusion continues.
— Seismicity: There is little seismicity associated with the ongoing eruption. Rockfalls have been detected by the new seismic stations.
— The Alert Level: The alert level is at Orange. An eruption may begin with less than 24 hours' notice. Persons living in areas close to the volcano which include communities from Fancy to Georgetown and Belle Isle to Richmond are asked to remain alert and listen to all advisories from the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO).
— No evacuation order has been issued for any communities of St. Vincent.
— The public is advised to desist from visiting the volcano and do not interfere with monitoring equipment.
— Official information will originate from St. Vincent and the Grenadines National Emergency Management Organization and the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Center. FAQ's have also been addressed by authorities.
The Eruption – How did we get here?
Last updated: 8:00 PM January 16th, 2021
An effusive eruption is ongoing within the crater of the La Soufrière Volcano, with a new dome forming that continues to grow in size. Activity remains confined within the crater at this time. Steam can be observed above the crater, with strong gas emissions ongoing. Those living near the volcano can expect strong sulfur smells over the next several days to weeks. Acidic gases have affected vegetation. There is the possibility of the new dome overtopping the crater rim in the coming months. New cracks have formed on the crater floor and the 1979 pre-existing dome.
According to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre's Director, Dr. Erouscilla Joseph, beginning in early November, there was an increase in the background level of seismicity at the La Soufrière Volcano.
NASA FIRMS Showing the La Soufrière eruption hotspot evolving since the initial eruption. (NASA/FIRMS/ESDID/VIIRS/MODIS)
At 1:20 PM on December 27th, 2020, a UWI SRC staff member was made aware of a hotspot being detected on a NASA satellite used to track wildfires globally. The hotspot, near the center of the crater, was detected by NASA's MODIS and VIIRS satellites used for Fire Information for Resource Management System.
Small satellite dome in the crater of the La Soufrière Volcano as fresh magma made its way to the surface of the volcano on December 29th, 2020. (Kemron Alexander/Soufriere Monitoring Unit)
The hotspot has persisted. Upon routine, visible inspection by the Soufrière Monitoring Unit, the team confirmed the hotspot in the crater, with satellite imagery on the 29th of December showing an extension of the hotspot.
As the team was preparing to make another visible inspection, reports came in from Rose Hall, St. Vincent of greyish-white emissions above La Soufrière's crater.
An effusive eruption was confirmed within the crater of the La Soufrière Volcano, with a new satellite dome forming that continues to grow in size.
An effusive eruption occurs when molten rock (lava) reaches the Earth's surface and erupts passively. The products of these eruptions are lava flows and lava domes. They generally occur when the gas content of the magma is low.
Effusive vs explosive eruption explained by the UWI SRC. (UWI SRC/NEMO)
The new dome has formed southeast of the existing dome. Strong gas emissions have been reported and the small crater lake that previously existed has dried. Magma continues to ooze to the surface since the eruption began.
NEMO has advised when the magma interacts with the surface temperature, especially during the mornings when the air is cool, it appears as steam which may be seen above the crater. Similar activities may continue for weeks or months.
In addition, with strong gas emissions, people living in areas close to the volcano should expect strong sulfur smells for several days to weeks, depending on changes in wind direction.
In addition, gas emissions have been observed from several areas of the 1979 done, as well as the crater floor through several new cracks which have developed, in addition to gas emissions from the new lava dome.
Acidic gases continue to affect the nearby vegetation, with extensive damage observed within the eastern, southern, and western parts of the inner crater walls. The damage reported on previously that is occurring along the upper part of the south western crater rim, has continued to slowly extend downslope.

This effusive eruption could overtop the crater and send molten lava cascading down the volcano in the coming months if the ongoing rate of effusion continues. Dr. Erouscilla Joseph of the UWI Seismic Research Center explained, "there is a little lip on the crater and where the dome is growing. It is close to that lip. If the volume of material is large enough to spill over that lip, there is the potential for the material to flow down the flacks of the volcano and then, of course, affect people."

Based on very crude data from aerial reconnaissance, the UWI SRC estimates that 700,000 cubic meters of magma have erupted as of January 4th, 2021. Joseph stressed the estimate's uncertainty, but it will take approximately six and a half months to cross the crater rim if the current effusion rate continues. However, the La Soufriere volcano is a dynamic system and changes daily.
New observations have discovered the new La Soufrière volcano is now about three-quarter (3/4) the height of the pre-existing 1979 dome. Growth of the dome continues with the lateral spreading of the material towards the east and west in the "moat" areas of the existing 1979 dome. As of January 16th, 2021, the new dome is 340 meters long, 160 meters wide and 90 meters tall.
Seismicity
As of January 1st, the director of the SRC confirmed that there is still no change in the minimal seismicity associated with the new dome in the crater of the La Soufrière Volcano. Rockfalls have been detected with the new seismic stations installed.
Beginning 1st November 2020, the Seismic Research Centre (SRC) at the University of the West Indies recorded 121 seismic events at La Soufriere, with one or two earthquakes a day and a maximum of eleven volcanic earthquakes recorded on 16th November 2020. Two of the earthquakes recorded to date have been larger than magnitude 2.0, at magnitude 2.3 and 2.5, which occurred on 12th and 14th December. The largest so far, at magnitude 3.3, was recorded at 10:29 PM on 16th December 2020.
The Alert Level & Evacuation Orders
There are no evacuation orders in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The alert level was raised to Orange on December 29th, 2020, and remains at that level to date.

According to the National Emergency Management Organization, there are no evacuation orders or notices for St. Vincent at this time
The UWI SRC has advised that, based on the complex patterns of previous eruptions, it is too early to conclude that the current activity will remain a simple dome extrusion event. There is still a possibility of a shift to an explosive phase. A definitive prognosis on the current unrest episode cannot be provided until further data analysis is completed.
The alert level remains at Orange. Persons living in areas close to the volcano which include communities from Fancy to Georgetown and Belle Isle to Richmond are asked to remain alert and listen to all advisories from the National Emergency Management Organisation.

The Official Response
CDEMA's coordination for support to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as outlined in their third situation report.
Regular aerial reconnaissance continues, up to two flights a day, safety permitting. A three-person team of scientists from the UWI SRC is present on the island. The team comprises Geologist Professor Richard Robertson, Instrumentation Engineer Lloyd Lynch, and Engineering Technician Ian Juman. Equipment brought from Trinidad has been deployed by the Soufriere Monitoring Unit. Additional personnel joined from the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, Dr Thomas Christopher and Dr Adam Stinton.

Collaboration amongst regional governments, national disaster offices, and CDEMA are ongoing with the Regional Coordination Plan and Regional Coordinating Centre activated.
The CARICOM Disaster Assessment and Coordination (CDAC), CARICOM Operational Support Team (COST), Rapid Needs Assessment Team (RNAT), and Caribbean Disaster Relief Unit (CDRU) have been placed on alert.
What hazards are associated with the La Soufrière Volcano?
Particularly with the La Soufrière Volcano, pyroclastic flows and surges, mudflows, ashfall, and projectiles are the most hazardous events expected compared to lava flows, atmospheric phenomena, earthquakes, and phreatic explosions. Secondary effects such as landslides and events of more remote possibility such as directed blasts and structural collapse are also possible.

Are all volcanoes in the Caribbean connected?
No. The process of subduction across the Lesser Antilles has created the islands north of T&T (with the exception of Barbados) through volcanism, but that's where the link stops. Seismicity associated with different volcanoes is not linked. Hence, an eruption of La Soufrière does not mean an eruption of Kick'em Jenny or any other Lesser Antilles volcano is imminent. If one occurs, it will likely be an unlucky coincidence.
The SRC is responsible for monitoring all seismic and all volcanological hazards across the English-speaking islands of the Eastern Caribbean. Presently, the ongoing seismic unrest in Dominica is returning to background levels. There are occasional volcanic-tectonic quakes in St. Lucia.
Are the volcanoes all connected? No. Let's learn why. NEMO St. Vincent and the Grenadines #volcano #lasoufriere #svg
Is La Soufrière a threat to T&T?
There is no threat to T&T and the remainder of the Lesser Antilles, with the obvious exception at this time being St. Vincent.

Is the book a "good" book or simply a clever combination of hot, timely conceits (zombies, pirates, zeppelins, and steampunk)?
Does Priest's pushing back of the gold rush work?
The name Briar Rose could be an allusion to the fairy tale. Is it? If so, who is the princess? The prince? And, are we dealing more with a Brothers Grimm version or Jane Yolen's version? Or is the name "Briar" just a reference to a thicket, as the mid-book comment about the alternate name "Heather" suggests?
Are any of the other names in the book (Maynard, Wilkes, Leviticus, Ezekiel, Blue, Minnericht, Boneshaker) meaningful in a symbolic way? If so, how? And, does their use add to the book?
Do you think this book was attempting to make any statements about race or immigration? Or, was the use of Chinese and Native American characters simply an attempt to be true to the setting (something that doesn't always happen in fiction, where worlds are frequently whitewashed, so a statement in itself)?
The third person limited point of view (POV) used throughout the book alternates focus, chapter by chapter, from Briar to Zeke. Does that work for you? How quickly did you notice the pattern? Would the book have been significantly better presented from a different POV?
What does the framing of the book with the reporter, Hale Quarter, do for the book? Does it add to the book or do you think those are just extra pages?
The book begins with (1) the Seattle map, (2) the Kettell quote, and (3) the chapter from Quarter's book; do you like these fake historic introductions to alternate history novels? Or, are they cop outs that allow the author to avoid strong exposition within the action of the novel?
Boneshaker follows Priest's novella "Tangle Foot" as the second piece set in this world, which she has started marketing as The Clockwork Century. This year Subterranean will publish Clementine and Tor will publish Dreadnought, two more novels in the world. What do you think about novels that share a world, but not characters or plot lines? Is the shared world a meaningful marketing device for you, the reader?

From childhood my passion for countryside and the outdoors fuelled my need to draw, paint and photograph. At the same time my education background became strongly biased towards the sciences. Finding beauty in humanity and the natural world is therefore my favoured motivation for creation in art.
For fifty years the art of photography has been my focus. Alchemy in the darkroom supported my photographic image making. The aesthetic skills acquired in photographic pursuits have been an open doorway into more painting and drawing expression.
The process of much of my art is about experiment and discovery. The scientist in me urges this experimentation and I reach for style to hover between the traditional and avant garde.
Increasingly I've used the convenience of water based paints as a primary medium. Most of my landscape artwork is produced plein air and alla prima. Recent seascapes are informed by memories of Cornwall and Scottish Highland experiences.
I'm always excited by the magic which happens when a mixture of water and pigments can paint itself, guided only by the view and hand of memory. How a confident line creates a human form, or that coloured marks can evoke strong emotion and abstraction may revive dormant memories.
It is my hope that the viewer of a finished work experiences some of my connection with the original subject.

An efficient two-stage algebraic multiscale solver (TAMS) that converges to the fine-scale solution is described. The first (global) stage is a multiscale solution obtained algebraically for the given fine-scale problem. In the second stage, a local preconditioner, such as the Block ILU (BILU) or the Additive Schwarz (AS) method, is used. Spectral analysis shows that the multiscale solution step captures the low-frequency parts of the error spectrum quite well, while the local preconditioner represents the high-frequency components accurately. Combining the two stages in an iterative scheme results in efficient treatment of all the error components associated with the fine-scale problem. TAMS is shown to converge to the reference fine-scale solution. Moreover, the eigenvalues of the TAMS iteration matrix show significant clustering, which is favorable for Krylov-based methods. Accurate solution of the nonlinear saturation equations (i.e., transport problem) requires having locally conservative velocity fields. TAMS guarantees local mass conservation by concluding the iterations with a multiscale finite-volume step. We demonstrate the performance of TAMS using several test cases with strong permeability heterogeneity and large-grid aspect ratios. Different choices in the TAMS algorithm are investigated, including the Galerkin and finite-volume restriction operators, as well as the BILU and AS preconditioners for the second stage. TAMS for the elliptic flow problem is comparable to state-of-the-art algebraic multigrid methods, which are in wide use. Moreover, the computational time of TAMS grows nearly linearly with problem size.

Q: Abbreviate the import of multiple files with loadtxt (Python) I wanna abbreviate the way I import multiples files with loadtxt, I do the next:
rc1    =loadtxt("20120701_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc2    =loadtxt("20120702_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc3    =loadtxt("20120703_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc4    =loadtxt("20120704_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc5    =loadtxt("20120705_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc6    =loadtxt("20120706_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc7    =loadtxt("20120707_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc8    =loadtxt("20120708_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc9    =loadtxt("20120709_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)
rc10   =loadtxt("20120710_Gp_xr_5m.txt", skiprows=19)

Then I concatenate them using:
GOES   =concatenate((rc1,rc2,rc3,rc4,rc5,rc6,rc7,rc8,rc9,
                     rc10),axis=0)

But my question is: Do I wanna reduce all of this? Maybe with a FOR or something like that. Since the files are a secuence of dates (strings).
I was thinking to do something like this
day= #### i dont know how define a string going from 01 to 31 for example
data="201207"+day+"_Gp_xr_5m.txt"

Then do this, but i think is not correct
GOES=loadtxt(data, skiprows=19)

A: Yes, you can easily get your sub-arrays with a for-loop, or with an equivalent list comprehension. Use the glob module to get the desired file names:
import numpy as np  # you probably don't need this line
from glob import glob

fnames = glob('path/to/dir')
arrays = [np.loadtxt(f, skiprows=19) for f in fnames]
final_array = np.concatenate(arrays)

If memory use becomes a problem, you can also iterate over all files line by line by chaining them and feeding that generator to np.loadtxt.

edit after OP's comment
My example with glob wasn't very clear..
You can use "wildcards" * to match files, e.g. glob('*') to get a list of all files in the current directory. A part of the code above could therefor be written better as:
fnames = glob('path/to/dir/201207*_Gp_xr_5m.txt')

Or if your program already runs from the right directory:
fnames = glob('201207*_Gp_xr_5m.txt')

I forgot this earlier, but you should also sort the list of filenames, because the list of filenames from glob is not guaranteed to be sorted.
fnames.sort()

A slightly different approach, more in the direction of what you were thinking is the following. When variable day contains the day number you can put it in the filename like so:
daystr = str(day).zfill(2)
fname = '201207' + daystr + '_Gp_xr_5m.txt'

Or using a clever format specifier:
fname = '201207{:02}_Gp_xr_5m.txt'.format(day)

Or the "old" way:
fname = '201207%02i_Gp_xr_5m.txt' % day

Then simply use this in a for-loop:
arrays = []
for day in range(1, 32):
    daystr = str(day).zfill(2)
    fname = '201207' + daystr + '_Gp_xr_5m.txt'
    a = np.loadtxt(fname, skiprows=19)
    arrays.append(a)

final_array = np.concatenate(arrays)

  matter how well optimized your site is, if you're hosting jQuery
  locally then your users must download it at least once. Each of your
  users probably already has dozens of identical copies of jQuery in
  their browser's cache, but those copies of jQuery are ignored when
  they visit your site. However, when a browser sees references to
  CDN-hosted copies of jQuery, it understands that all of those
  references do refer to the exact same file. With all of these CDN
  references point to exactly the same URLs, the browser can trust that
  those files truly are identical and won't waste time re-requesting the
  file if it's already cached. Thus, the browser is able to use a single
  copy that's cached on-disk, regardless of which site the CDN
  references appear on."

if so, would that mean you would want to include jQuery in the <head> and keep it out of your Browserify bundle?

A:
Doesn't using Browserify to load scripts like jQuery preclude the potentials benefits of using a CDN outlined here:

Yes.

would that mean you would want to include jQuery in the <head> and keep it out of your Browserify bundle?

Yessir, then you can use browserify-shim so you can still require() jQuery in your browserified modules.
