Greenpeace And The Marxist Takeover

Climate Changes, But Facts Don't: Debunking Monckton
On the 19th of July in 2011 the National Press Club of Australia held a debate on climate change. In this video I will be analysing the claims Monckton made during the debate and if they are correct or not.
The reason I'm doing this is that Monckton challenges his critics to check his sources, or like he put it in this debate "to do your homework". I'm going to follow him up on this to see if the scientific literature, and other available sources, corroborate what he's saying.

On the 19th of July in 2011 the National Press Club of Australia held a debate on climate change. I will be analysing the claims Monckton made during the debate and if they are correct or not.
In this particular section of the debate Monckton makes the claim that Greenpeace has been taken over by Marxists. I'll be looking into what is used to base this claim on and if this is a fair assessment.
STEVE LEWIS:
Next one. Next question from Simon Grose.
From Science Media. Last week in the north of this town we had an attack by some Greenpeace activists on a GM, an experimental plot of GM wheat, and it reminded me of the symmetry between the public attitudes and acceptance, or lack of when it comes to climate science, or when it comes to GM plant science. In both cases we have a very strong scientific consensus. And in both cases we have a small minority of people who are seen to be sceptics, deniers, ratbags, iconoclasts.
So I just want to ask both of you - why is it uncool to be a climate science denier, but it's cool to be a GM science denier?
CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON:
Well hey, baby, I think that climate science scepticism is cool. And I think we ought to just mention a little bit about the history of Greenpeace, because it was founded among others by a friend of mine, the late Eric Ellington who sadly died earlier this year.
Now Eric was a lovely man. He was totally non-political. He, like Patrick Moore, and the other founders of Greenpeace, were true carers for the environment. They loved nature - they didn't want us to despoil it. They wanted to raise our consciousness of it. And they established Greenpeace to do just that.
And with great sadness, this entirely non-political person said to me one day that he and many of his fellow founders of Greenpeace had had to leave the organisation after a few years because - and this is how he put it - it had been taken over by Marxists who had not the slightest interest in the environment, but were willing to use it as a pretext for continuing the battle to bring down the west.
So there is - and this was one of the founders of Greenpeace, this is what he said, he's not the only one; Patrick Moore has publicly said what Eric has said to me privately.
There is a feeling that these environmental movements have been captured by political forces who are not necessarily friendly to the west and our way of life.
So that's one side of it.
This is not exactly a science claim but one that is big enough to take a look at. One that confused me a bit in the beginning.
The first person Monckton names, one Eric Ellington, isn't mentioned in any public records as one of the founders of Greenpeace. The only sources that mention Ellington as a founder can be traced back to Monckton. No secondary sources that I can find are available that make the same claim, nor are there any sources linking his name to Greenpeace.
I did manage to find public records on an Eric Ellington, a Scottish society photographer. I contacted Monckton to check if I had indeed found the correct Eric Ellington, which he did confirm. It should be noted that he made an interesting mistake in the e-mail that he sent me. In it he also seems to be referring to Eric Ellington as an early member of Greenpeace. This might indicate that even Monckton is aware that Eric Ellington is not one of the founders of Greenpeace
The second person Monckton names, Patrick Moore, is a different story. Public records linking him to an early involvement with Greenpeace are available, particularly with Greenpeace Canada. But, he's also not a founder of Greenpeace as it was founded in 1970. The letter where Moore states his desire to join Greenpeace was sent in 1971. Interestingly enough, Monckton also refers to Moore as an early member of Greenpeace in his response to me.
However these are just minor details. The bigger problem is with the accusation by Patrick Moore that Greenpeace has been taken over by Marxists. One of the causes of this seems to be his rejection of the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Let me quote him from a letter addressed to the Royal Society:
I am sure the Royal Society is aware of the difference between an hypothesis and a theory. It is clear the contention that human-induced CO2 emissions and rising CO2 levels in the global atmosphere are the cause of the present global warming trend is an hypothesis that has not yet been elevated to the level of a proven theory. Causation has not been demonstrated in any conclusive way.
This is just the start. He has described clearcut logging as "making clearings where new trees can grow in the sun". Moore also opines that clearcut might mean the extinction of one species but, and I quote, "it provides an opportunity for a new species to take its place", end quote.
He has also defended the company Asia Pulp and Paper, saying it "engage[s] in word-class sustainable forest management". This is the same company that has come under severe criticism for clear cutting vast tracks of indonesian rainforest and turning it into cheap paper, very cheap paper. Damaging the local ecosystem in the process.
This is just a small sample of Moore's activities and statements. It's what puts Moore at odds with environmental organisations. Because his opinions are such at odds with these organisations, it has influenced how he sees them. He has said that they have "abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism" and that, "environmentalism has become anti-globalization and anti-industry".
I'm not saying that there are no people that have links with marxism, or are actually against industrialisation. Environmentalism is large enough that there are of course some more extreme elements in it. The Earth Liberation Front comes to mind. But the vast majority, including me, has absolutely no problem with industrialisation. We want to work together with companies to create an economy that doesn't harm the environment. We want companies and communities to benefit from protecting their local environment and profiting from it.
Just take a look at the following video about tuna fishing from Greenpeace for an example of this:
Pacific Tuna On The Line - 0:00 to 0:41 and 2:15 to 3:48
The Pacific is the last ocean where relatively healthy numbers of tuna still remain. More than seventy percent of the world's favourite fish is caught in these tropical waters.
But the calm, clear Pacific ocean belies a harsh reality. The once seemingly inexhaustable tuna stocks are under huge pressure from unsustainable and illegal fishing practices.
Of the four commercially fished Pacific tuna species, yellowfin and big eye tuna, are now in steep decline.And even the more resilient skipjack, the most commonly canned tuna could soon be in serious trouble.
Over the past decades, Pacific Island nations have been selling fishing rights to foreign fleets who have been taking fish and profits elsewhere. But now the Pacific is starting to develop its own fishing industry with a view to retain profits in the region and catch fish in a more responsible way.
Greenpeace is promoting these more sustainable fishing techniques such as catching free swimming schools and fishing by pole and line. These methods result in less bycatch of
young tuna and non target species such as sharks and are therefore less harmful to tuna stocks and the wider ecosystem.
On land, Greenpeace has pressured retailers and tuna brands to source their tuna from these more environmentally and socially responsible fisheries.
SARI TOLVANEN:
We have seen massive changes in the retail sector over the last few years and there is an ever increasing demand for sustainable tuna products from the consumers.
We now need to eliminate unsustainable fishing practices from the supply chain and ensure that more of the economic benefits are staying with the Pacific Island countries.
For the people in the Pacific, fish is the most important source of food and jobs. And for their countries, tuna represents a crucial opportunity for economic development.
Through its work in the Pacific, Greenpeace aims to safeguard a future for the tuna and the people who depend on it.
This is just one of the examples where Greenpeace helps to stimulate a local sustainable industry that benefits the local economy, and in turn the local inhabitants. This is a far cry from being a Marxist organisation that is anti-business.
There are valid points of criticism you can raise against Greenpeace, for example the GM issues, but accusing them of being taken over by Marxists is not one of them.

Sorry, but your claim that there are no public records of Eric Ellington is wrong.

Collin Maessen says:
Please do not misquote me, I said this:
The first person Monckton names, one Eric Ellington, isn't mentioned in any public records as one of the founders of Greenpeace.
I'm talking about records stating him as being a founder. I actually say I found some public records on Eric Ellington, and I linked to those:
I did manage to find public records on an Eric Ellington, a Scottish society photographer.
The source you just cited also doesn't say he's a founder, he's a contributor. Meaning he's an early member who helped during the early years of Greenpeace. I can't find any other references to Ellington in that book, which again indicates he didn't play a big role. This corroborates what Monckton said in the email to me that Eric Ellington is an early member.
What you gave me does invalidate me saying "there [aren't] any sources linking his name [Eric Ellington] to Greenpeace.". I've stricken that passage from the above transcript and I'll add something to the video later today.
Point taken, but again, there are records (a book on the history of Greenpeace) that Mr Ellington was a contributor in the early days of Greenpeace, and that's what I was highlighting.
As for founding members, you may want to look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenpeace Here's an excerpt: "Greenpeace itself calls the protest voyage of 1971 as "the beginning".[41] According to Patrick Moore, who was an early member but has since distanced himself from Greenpeace, and Rex Weyler, the name of "The Don't Make a Wave Committee" was officially changed to Greenpeace Foundation in 1972.[39][42] Because of the early phases spanning several years, there are differing views on who can be called the founders of Greenpeace.
Vanessa Timmer has referred the early members as "an unlikely group of loosely organized protestors".[40] Frank Zelko has commented that "unlike Friends of the Earth, for example, which sprung fully formed from the forehead of David Brower, Greenpeace developed in a more evolutionary manner. There was no single founder".[43] Greenpeace itself says on its web page that "there's a joke that in any bar in Vancouver, Canada, you can sit down next to someone who claims to have founded Greenpeace. In fact, there was no single founder: name, idea, spirit and tactics can all be said to have separate lineages".[38] Patrick Moore has said that "the truth is that Greenpeace was always a work in progress, not something definitively founded like a country or a company. Therefore there are a few shades of gray about who might lay claim to being a founder of Greenpeace."[39] Early Greenpeace director Rex Weyler says on his homepage that the insiders of Greenpeace have debated about the founders since mid-1970's.[44] "

You're not adding anything new and it doesn't in any way change that Eric Ellington isn't a founder. He's an early member who played a very minor role during the early days of Greenpeace. What you're saying also doesn't change the fact that Monckton presented him as a founder when he wasn't.

Rockstar Group Unloads Patents for $900M
News Analysis Sarah Thomas, Director, Women in Comms 12/23/2014
The Rockstar Consortium, made up of Apple, Microsoft, Ericsson, BlackBerry and other big names in tech, has agreed to sell more than 4,000 patents to patent clearing house RPX for $900 million.
The group bought 6,000 patents from bankrupt Nortel in 2011 for a cool $4.5 billion, outbidding Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) and using its new intellectual property to take on the Android maker in court over alleged infringements. By selling them to RPX Corp. , Rockstar has also agreed to drop any of its remaining court battles. (See Rockstar Patent Holders Sue Google & Friends and DoJ OK's $4.5B Nortel Patent Sale.)
The Wall Street Journal reports that RPX will license the patents to a separate syndicate of around 30 other technology companies, including Google and Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), both of which settled patent suits with Rockstar last month. And the WSJ says the companies involved in Rockstar will get to keep the 2,000 patents they didn't contribute to the consortium, which are amongst Nortel's most valuable.
For more on mobile-related topics, head over to the mobile content channel right here on Light Reading.
The mobile patent wars dominated headlines in years past with some questioning whether all the litigation came at the expense of innovation. As part of its deal with RPX, Rockstar is dropping suits against Samsung Corp. , LG Electronics Inc. (London: LGLD; Korea: 6657.KS) , High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) (Taiwan: 2498) and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. . Plus, the new licensing deal, encompassing 30 companies, should mean we won't see a return to the levels of courtroom drama the industry had in the past. That's a good thing for handset makers, operators and consumers -- really everyone but the lawyers.

Re: numbers It does seem that maybe this is just a multi billion dollar investment, consisting of the loss it's taking by Rockstar to keep the law suites at bay. Otherwise why would they take such a deep discount from the original purchase price?
Kruz 12/24/2014 | 6:57:19 AM
Re: numbers I guess Rockstar failed to license the patents over the years and had to eventually sell these at a low cost. This seems like an obvious loss but also as is a sign that patent litigation is calming down.
MarkC73 12/23/2014 | 3:08:09 PM
Re: numbers Loss on investment would definitely depend on what the patents are and how much margin they get off of the products they sell that use those patents.
I might spend a million dollars to get all the patents to make a mircowave cooker, but if I make $10 off a million of them in a year, and then sold the patents to a clearing house for $100k and kept a few key ones for myself; I'd call that pretty good. Yet we can't really speculate without more information because how much you can make off the patents doesn't solely come off of licensing or selling them.
Then again if it was a sweet deal, you'd think they'd gloat about it PR-wise.
Ariella 12/23/2014 | 1:45:29 PM
Re: numbers @Sara I figured they would hold on to the most valuable ones. Yet, as you say, they still face quite a loss in this sale.
sarahthomas1011 12/23/2014 | 1:42:08 PM
Re: numbers They are the 4,000 patents the group owned, rather than the 2,000 split amongst the companies. They definitely took a loss on the deal, and it's unclear how much money the patents made it over their four years of ownership. The ones they are keeping, however, are said to be the most valuable.
Aee the 4,000 patents they seek to sell for $900 million from the 6,000 patents they bought for $4.5 billion? If so, it sounds like a loss, unless they're keeping the 2,000 that they were really after when buying the whold batch.

Plea to All Indigenous & Non-Indigenous Peoples of The World
05.07.2019 - Pressenza New York
By Jerome Irwin
Typically, like most Canadians, I'm deeply concerned about a lot of pressing issues in Canada and the world at large: the course and direction of the upcoming federal election; what some meekly call climate change while others, because of the dire threat it poses to the very continuation of life in the future for all human and non-human species, more correctly deem it to be a climate crisis of an unparalleled nature; a wide range of the violated historical promises that have been made to the indigenous, aboriginal peoples of Canada to honor and respect their unique place in Canadian society, as well as: the many same violated historical promises that have also been made to non-indigenous Canadians about a wide range of related issues, one of which especially is the pressing need for the politicians and the government of Canada to demonstrably show to Canadian society that a concerted move is being made, as rapidly as it can tangibly be made, to demonstrate the many real creative, innovative changes that can be made to realize in the near and distant future a truly petroleum-free, lower emission way of life – not by the year 2025-2030-2040-2050 or 2100 – but NOW – TODAY!
Yet this would seem to be a difficult if nigh impossible task to do when: on every commercial on every television channel, 24/7, especially during every major sporting event and cultural event, heralded in every newspaper and popular lifestyle magazine; repeatedly shown during every pre-show in every theater across the land, or; what pop-culture celebrities and society notables demonstrably flaunt every day, 365 days of the year, all the flash automobiles and products they choose to buy that suggests to all the children and future citizens of the world; that this is what the "Good Life" is all about.
It has been patently clear, since the Paris Accord, that Canada and the world at large is far too embedded in the old petroleum-fixated life of the past to make any significant changes beyond what niggardly, half-hearted, piece meal, lip service changes have thus far been made to change anything and everything about the way human civilization is going, desires to go or conceivably can go. We're all locked in too deeply to The Black Crude Sludge that represents the collective decayed detritus of the planet's distant prehistoric, dinosauric past that existed long before humans as a species were yet even on the planet. Yet humans remain intent in searching in every way they can, while going everywhere deeper into the bowels of the earth, to bring back to the surface of this reality in the 21st century something that it thinks will make a way of life it deems desirable and yet, like every addict with whatever substance they're addicted to, gradually and predictably is killing them and will kill all their offspring the longer they all remain hooked.
The most recent evolution of this addictive process can be seen by what some now tout to be, "Canada's Aboriginal Pipedream that might end Justin Trudeau's TransMountain Nightmare". One need only has to google any search engine anything to do with a so-called: Reconciliation Pipeline or Project Reconciliation to realize the long list that exists among the number of greedy petroleum-based energy companies, native entrepreneurial enterprises and their corporate media promoters who now are jumping on the bandwagon and lionizing this latest venture to the bottomless abyss of a perpetual petroleum-laden world. Much is being made of the promise to bring about a Reconciliation that Canada, and the unresolved national guilt it harbours towards its historical treatment of aboriginal peoples, has anguished about ever since the point of first contact between the cultures of the Old & New Worlds and Confederation.
It's said that some 350 million indigenous peoples still exist in the world, who now hold 80% of the world's biodiversity. But all of them are under a serious threat to their very existence with mega petroleum-corporate-economic projects like China's Silk Road development throughout the Middle East and Africa. It's alarming what humans continue to conceive, with megalomanical projects like the Silk Road, and what the direction of such projects portend for the future of the entire planet of non-human species, not to mention the world's indigenous people who en mass are being everywhere evicted from their traditional territories for the sake of these mega development projects. The fact is that wherever incursions such mega projects are now making in the Middle East, Egypt, Africa, and, indeed throughout Europe and dthe America's themselves, indigenous peoples are the first to be evicted and the first to suffer, grievously. Not only that but the world's total fixation on such economic initiatives means that indigenous peoples and their sacred territories especially will be the first ones to go under, not to mention what all the continued economic expansion and development in this direction means to the continued rape and pillage of the earth's natural resources, minerals and non-human native life for an insanely-incessant expansionistic process to continue that does nothing more than feed insatiable human greed for ever more.
The concept now of yet another pipeline, albeit this time by Aboriginal, First Nation entrepreneurs, that will triple the capacity of the crude to be transported through the sacred territories of so many unwilling indigenous and non-indigcenous peoples is an odious one. It flies in the face of Canada's original promise made to all Canadians at the Paris Accords to take speedy and significant steps to switch from a non-sustainable petroleum-based economy to a truly green sustainable one. If Canada's native peoples now are to be nothing more than the new petroleum king pins through their so-called Reconciliation Pipeline Project how does tripling the crude from the Tar Sands fit into this shift to a green economy? How is continuing to suck every last drop of the pure, clean, sacred ancestral waters that lie below the province of Alberta, that must continue to be contaminated and destroyed forever, that is turning Alberta into a virtual national sacrifice area for Canada's continued cowardly refusal to make the hard decisions and choices that must be made for the future well-being of all our children and their children seven generatins hence? How is this ever going to become a template for the future if, by being more concerned with not breaking further promises to Canada's indigenous peoples it now simultaneously breaks the governments promises made to all Canadians to work towards a greener, brighter, healthier future? If other indigenous peoples in the world were to do the same, and become kissing cousins and co-partners with the dark operatives of Juggernauts like the Silk Road or Trans Mountain Pipeline, how does that make them any different than just another OPEC player among all the marauding Jack boots who are marching throughout the world?
The UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples is attempting to play its part, through a recently-held Global Landscapes Forum in the Bonn Climate Change Conference, and has presented to the world an Indigenous Rights Approach Solution to the Climate Change Crisis. This writer's own whole life as an activist and as a writer, goes back to what some refer to as, "Those early Spiritual Wild West Days" – that occurred during the occupation of Alcatraz, the times spent with the traditional Dakota and Lakota elders at places like Crow Creek and Wounded Knee and, more recently, during the despicable Dakota Access Pipeline debacle – when those formative years in the spiritual responsibilities towards life first began to amply the voices of traditional Indigenous Peoples. Many who were present during those earlier and more recent times have quickly realized that the teachings they've received from the elders have so many answers to give about life, beauty and health of humans and the earth.
More recently, this writer carried this responsibility one step further by generating the article, "water not oil battle cry of the blue planet", that seeks to amplify the voice of Giindajing Guujaaw, a traditional chief of the Haida Nation who has what this one believes to be one of the soundest criticisms yet heard about projects like the Reconciliation Pipeline PipeDream and the way we all must conduct ourselves in the future.
One important question to be asked and answered now is, "Is the pipe dream being put forward real reconciliation or is it some kind of cynical blackmail payback idea of reconciliation? This writer's article, as one answer, continues to slowly make the rounds among various indigenous and non-indigenous peoples circles.
In searching for their own answers, every Canadian and citizen of the world now needs to clarify for themselves, their loved one and their people what the real issues are.
Jerome Irwin is a freelance writer who, for decades, in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has sought to call attention to problems of sustainability caused by excessive mega-developments, the resulting horrors of traffic gridlock, loss of single family neighborhoods and a host of related environmental-ecological-spiritual issues and concerns that exist between the conflicting philosophies of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.

As the previous post indicates, I am now measuring the kWh used to charge the car. I've been keeping track of per-day costs, and here is the chart for the first couple of weeks. As you can see, the cost per mile does not correlate well with the miles driven - which means that the theory I had about the rebalancing contributing a major portion of the cost for short trips seems to be incorrect (at least, for the length of trip that I've been taking).
The gap in the chart is for when I watered the batteries - no miles on that charge, so no wH / mi.
Over this period, I have driven 111.4 miles, and used 54.9 kWh to recharge. This nets out to an average of 493 Wh / mi (as shown by the green line on the chart). My electricity costs 7.5 cents per kWh, which means my average cost per mile is 3.7 cents, which, at $4.00 per gallon, is the equivalent of 108 MPG.
Quite impressive! I have found your blog through youtube, and I want you to know that I included your blog and video on my http://eco-friendly-lifestyle.co.uk blog. I find your explanations very informative and helpful, especially for laypeople like me. Keep up the good work!
Thanks - I'm glad you found it useful. For what it's worth, I started out as a layperson and educated and trained myself along the way. As long as you are patient and keep track of all the details, you do not need to be an expert to do this.
And, I think your URL is actually ecofriendlylifestyle (with no dashes).
Really enjoyed reading your blog about being eco friendly I'm glad there is some effort to do this for the earths preservation.

Then we can use kubectl logs or docker logs to see the logs.
like: time=123 action=write msg=hello world , as a tty, it might be colorized for human friendliness.
However, if we want to export the logs to a log processing center, like EFK (elasticsearch-fluentd-kibana), we need a json-format log file.
like: {"time"=123,"action"="write","msg"="hello world"}
What I want?
Is there a log method that can take into account both human friendliness and json format?
I'm looking for a way that if I use docker logs, then I can get human-readable logs, and at the same time, the log collector can still get the logs in json-format
Conclusion
Thanks for the answer below. I have got 2 methods:

*

*different log format in different env:
1.1 use text-format in developing: docker logs will print colorized and human readable logs.
1.2 use json-format in production: EFK can process json-format well.

*log collector's format convertion
2.1 we use text-format, but in log collector like fluentd we can define some scripts to translate text-format kv pair to json-format kv pair.

A: Kubernetes has such option of structured logging for its system components.
Klog library  allows to use   --logging-format=json flag that enables to change the format of logs to JSON output - more information about it here and here.

A: yes you can do that with Flunetd, below are the basic action items that you need to take to finalize this setup

*

*Configure docker container to log to stdout (you can use any format you like)

*Configure FluentD to tail docker files from /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log

*parse logs with Flunetd and change the format to JSON logs

*output the logs to Elasticsearch.

This article shows exactly how to do this setup also this one explain how to parse Key-Value logs

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has called for global cooperation in countering the threat of Russian cyber attack, a media report said on Thursday.
Poroshenko disclosed this in Davos, Switzerland, urging the United States to "be great again" by demonstrating leadership on issues such as global security.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to improve ties with the Kremlin and open admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin has put Ukraine, whose Crimea region was annexed by Russia in 2014, under the spotlight.
Poroshenko played down speculation that Washington could backtrack on its support for Kiev, noting that Trump had said publicly that he would stick to U.S. obligations.
However, there had been "promising" statements by nominees to his cabinet.
"That gives us a lot of more optimism for the future," Poroshenko was reported to have told newsmen.
He said that he already had a visit planned to meet the new U.S. president "in a few months".
Poroshenko said joint global efforts were needed to halt Russian aggression, both military and cyber.
"There is a global cyber war of Russia against the whole world, there is lots of evidence. This is a global danger and the world should be together to fight this danger,'' he noted.
Ukraine's utility Ukrenergo on Wednesday in Kiev said that a cyber attack was behind a December 17 and December 18 power blackout in the capital city.
Ukrenergo did not say who was behind the incident, although Ukrainian security services blamed Russian cyber attacks for similar power outages in December 2015.
The Kremlin has denied any involvement in cyber attacks on Ukraine.
Moscow is also alleged to have sought to influence the U.S. election by hacking Democratic political groups, something Russia has dismissed.
"The same way as Russian propaganda is an element of Russian hybrid war, cyber warfare is an element of the Russian hybrid war, no matter if it's in Germany or United States,'' the Ukrainian president said.

Q: Android: Navigate to custom home screen I would like to achieve the back navigation (by pressing home button in the Action Bar) as it shows the attached picture.
As you can see the login screen is visited once and it takes the user to Activity B. When pressing an item it takes the user to a new instance of Activity B and so on. Think this such as a files navigation app with a login included.
So, my question is, which is the most elegant way to achieve this? Thanks in advance

A: the only way to do what you want is to make your app a launcher app. meaning it would replace the launcher that the user currently uses for their home screen.
If that is not what you want to achieve then you are out of luck because you cannot override the home button for security purposes.
EDIT:
if you want to use the up navigation then send an intent. see the docs on how to use the up navigation

Q: PHP error_get_last, exclude already catched exceptions I'm running some code, for example:
register_shutdown_function("ShutdownHandler");

$var = test();

function test() {
    try {
        // Do something
        require_once("class.extra.php");
        ExtraClass::doSomething();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        // Handle the error.
        echo "exception";
        return null;
    }
    // Continue...
    return true;
}

class.extra.php:
class ExtraClass
{
    public static function doSomething()
    {
        throw new CustomException("Exception");
    }
}

class CustomException extends Exception
{
    public function __construct($mesg, $code = 0x00)
    {
        parent::__construct($mesg, $code);
    }
}

after some code, the script ends and the ShutdownHandler() get's called.
function ShutdownHandler() {
    // error_get_last returns the already catched exception and the next if get's triggered.
    $error = error_get_last();

    if ($error['type'] && E_ALL) {
        // Handle the uncaught exception...
        echo "uncaught exception";
    }
}

But i want here only to handle uncaught exception, any ideas?


We are all imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government. Tell her that I am clearing the garden. Shatter is a longtime sufferer of migraines. Where is the nearest lost and found? One of us has to do it. He was believed to have committed the crime. Patrice called home. He befriended a thief called Dimitry. She knows what she wants, that's what matters. It isn't likely that she will come.
I'm not here to make friends. She plays the flute. Gary found an outlet for his energy in playing football. He is doing it with my help. She called him a liar. Let's see what Galen and Lin are up to. Earl might come to visit us. She said she'll let her hair grow long. The third brake light went from being prohibited to being required. Who on earth is that?
She was wearing a fur coat. The lawyer's job is to prove that her client is innocent. Were you being serious? I should have learnt German when I had the opportunity to do it fifteen years ago. When poverty shows itself, even mischievous boys understand what it means. Taurus isn't mad at you either. I know things about you. These items are 1000 yen for three. You're a philosopher, aren't you? I don't have everything I need.
He's cheap. You bore me. I was expelled from school. Just like humans, the eyesight of dogs gets worse with age. That show was filmed in the Boston area. I followed the law. There is fog over the lake. The world can no more have two summits than a circumference can have two centres. I've done what I can for you. Search me.
Let me cook you dinner sometime. This is a great place to raise a family. They also promised religious freedom. I heard you have become Branch Manager of Sydney. They love it. You're on television. He knows how to cook meat. We took turns with the driving. I'll discard my old jacket. He grinned from ear to ear.
Father, today I'm going out with some friends. Of course, that's if you will allow it. Were they with you? I regret what happened to you. I meant no offence. Try some. I admit this may not be the best way of doing it. I'll do better next time. I can't wait to tell Stanley the good news. I told her I agreed with her. Spencer will get married to Franklin next week.
Let it be done at once. The entire city is overrun by zombies. She dreamed of becoming a ballerina. You should emphasize that fact. Go on, Carter, I'm listening. My wife's father is my father-in-law, I am his son-in-law, and my father is my wife's father-in-law. Dion never leaves home without his phone. I'll keep reading. Rik resisted smiling. It's dangerous to lean out of the window.
I really owe you an apology. They elected Taro captain of their team. I am sure your promotion was timely and well deserved. He made his son a wealthy man. We went out and never returned. My brother is very good at playing the guitar. Why did you decide to study French? I usually wake up at 6. It's going to be expensive. Why don't you let me take a look?
Ramon doesn't really mean that, does he? I can't imagine why. The police and the FBI pursued several leads. At that time no thought of danger crossed my mind. Do you have nightmares? I take great pains in educating my daughter. Tomorrow is not promised. Radek wasn't kidding. No, faith, not a jot; but to follow him thither with modesty / enough, and likelihood to lead it; as thus: Alexander died, / Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth into dust; the dust is / earth; of earth we make loam; and why of that loam (whereto he / was converted) might they not stop a beer barrel? / Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd to clay, / Might stop a hole to keep the wind away. / O, that that earth which kept the world in awe / Should patch a wall t' expel the winter's flaw! The movie was disappointing.
They were angry about several things. Who are you pointing at? His travels were wide and frequent. This holiday was called Saturnalia among the Romans and was marked by great merriment and licence which extended even to the slaves. What was the most memorable day of your life? Whoever wants it can have it. There's been too much talk about that marriage. Soccer is very popular in Spain. Now, what can I do for you? Jane always made out that she was very rich.

'Under the viral shadow. Networks in the Age of Technoscience and Infection' by Lyndsey Walsh
AI & A.Life, Art Laboratory Berlin, Biomedia, Op & Ed
Abraham, (still image produced by the machine learning program), Gene Kogan (2020)
It is clearer now more than ever that the language of the virus has spread its infection throughout the body of our culture. From the inescapable COVID-19 pandemic to computing metaphors and even in our social media, going viral and virality have only continued to gain linguistic traction. However, these viral tendencies seem to go beyond metaphor. The virus has mutated and transformed revealing the interconnectedness of our relationships and networks.
The virus' prevalence and the language of the virus have even led scholars such as Chris Hables Gray to question if humanity has officially entered the age of the virus. Whether it be biological, cybernetic, or culture, the virus doesn't seem to be going away any time soon [1]. But what will this age of the virus be like? How will it take shape? And what impact will it have on humanity and the world moving forward?
Art Laboratory Berlin's Under the Viral Shadow: Networks in the Age of Technoscience and Infection emerges from the very shadow of its namesake to palp and probe into the messy age of the virus that we have found ourselves so deeply embedded in. The exhibition and accompanying co-program of workshops and an online symposium curated by Regine Rapp and Christian de Lutz tackles the ways in which the virus has become deeply embedded in our technology, biological bodies, and culture.
Featuring the works of Anna Dumitriu, Alex May, Benjamin Bacon, Gene Kogan, Sarah Grant, and Vivian Xu, the group exhibition on its own sets out to explore the viral shadow through viewing viruses in the context of networks. Starting with a focus on biological networks, Anna Dumitriu's Engineered Antibody weaves together the narrative Xiang Li's research on the purification and engineering of an antibody from the blood of a patient with an HIV positive diagnosis into the form of a beaded necklace. The work speaks to the biological nature of viruses in its mimicking of the antibody's structure and use of materials, such as Coomassie Brilliant Blue, which is used in laboratory protein staining.
Moving on from the subject matter of biological viruses, Sarah Grant's work Physarum Topologies investigates the intersections of the biological and the technological through a creative lens. The project features nine plexiglass boxes with different Physarum (slime mould) species that are cultured to create unique networks between nodes that Grant has placed using oats. Physarum Topologies questions the utopian potential that has been attributed to the ability of slime mould to solve highly complex engineering problems.
From the biological to the technological, the exhibition then presents us with a new work by Benjamin Bacon titled PROBE Series II: Subaudition. PROBE Series II is comprised of two devices that take information from their environment and then transmit this information in their own language to each other. The machine takes in the sounds of the gallery and then encodes this data into morse code that is transmitted by solenoid tapping. Machine II collects and reinterprets the sounds from Machine I and transmits them as light and colour pattern emissions. This nonhuman network of information transmission unsettles the gallery space and reverses the sense of gaze from the artwork back to the audience.

Right: Modeling Utopia with Slime Mould (living organism Physarum polycephalum, oat flakes), Sarah Grant (2019). Photo by the artist.
However, PROBE Series II isn't the only sensing work in the exhibition. Vivian Xu's works The Electric Skin and The Sonic Skin feature two wearable devices that explore different extensions and possibilities of human-machine sensing. The Electric Skin aims to extend the functionality of skin by taking in information about electromagnetic fields and translating it into touch sensation. The Sonic Skin focuses on the use of sound, and the wearable projects directional sound in a similar way that a bat's sonar system works. Together the works increase the networks of sensation for the human body to ponder and speculate on how machines and humans will co-evolve to have these extended more-than-human networks.
Gene Kogan's Abraham also explores a more-than-human and technological interactive experience. Abraham is an "autonomous artificial artist" that builds upon emerging and existing techniques of machine learning, cryptoeconomics, and computer art. In the exhibition, the work generates unique images based on typed word prompts. Unlike the other works in the exhibition, Abraham embodies an emerging network, one that is still learning and discovering itself and the new diverse set of actions it can perform.
This turn to futuristic visions is fully embodied by Alex May and Anna Dumitriu's ArchaeaBot: A Post Singularity and Post Climate Change Life-form. ArchaeaBot features an underwater robotic installation that speculates on what life may be like in a post-singularity and post-climate change world. The biomimetic ArchaeaBot combines the ability to thrive in what we would consider being extreme conditions with an artificially intelligent neural network and machine learning program. As a whole, the project imagines and envisions what shape the "ultimate" species may take so that it can survive and thrive at the end of the world as we know it.
It is through these works and interventions that Art Laboratory Berlin seeks to grapple with the complexities emerging from the age of the virus. In the metaphor of the virus, the viral agents are spread through vectors or hosts. We often fear the role of the vector, especially when we find ourselves becoming host to these unknown agents. When we watch these interactions play out in other systems, we can see the bigger picture. Nothing reveals how connected a system is just like a virus scan.
In the age of the virus, our points of reference for what should be have been thrown to the wayside. Things will not go back to what they used to be. As Chris Gray explains in Virus is a Language: COVID-19 and the New Abnormal, The new normal is there is no normal. It is all abnormal from now on!
Art Laboratory Berlin's Under the Viral Shadow asks us to go beyond the benchmarks that belonged to the world we once knew. The exhibition reveals how our networks are much larger and more complex than they have ever been, and they will continue to mature and grow. These networks are forever reaching out to make new connections, just like the slime moulds in Grant's Physarum Topologies, and they are learning, listening, and transforming information into something new like the images produced by Kogan's Abraham and transmissions of Bacon's PROBE Series II: Subaudition. They are reaching back to change us and the ways we interact with the world like Xu's The Electric Skin and The Sonic Skin. Lastly, they are reflecting on our biological, cultural, and technological connections to speculate on new possibilities like Dumitriu's Engineered Antibody and May and Dumitriu's ArchaeaBot: A Post Singularity and Post Climate Change Life-form.
The age of the virus has descended upon us, and now we have no choice but to keep moving forward and finding new ways of mapping and moving through its ever-shifting topography.

Unidentified country orders Saab target vehicle system
Saab announced the country ordered its AUV62-AT advanced anti-submarine warfare training system.

March 2 (UPI) -- Saab is to supply its AUV62-AT advanced anti-submarine warfare training system to an unidentified country beginning this year, the company announced Thursday.
The AUV62-AT is an autonomous, underwater acoustic target vehicle system that mimics a submarine in a way that is compatible with any torpedo and anti-submarine warfare sonar on the market today.
Saab said the system will replace the country's need to use an actual submarine as a maneuvering training target. The AUV62-AT was demonstrated recently in a British military exercise in Scotland and Wales.
"This a further proof of AUV62-AT as the world leading system for anti-submarine warfare training," Carl-Marcus Remén, sales director of Saab's Underwater Systems business unit, said in a press release. "With the system, the customer will be able to train in a more cost efficient and flexible way since the navy won't need to use own vital assets like submarines as ASW training targets."
"It ensures the entire ASW force can receive high quality training from start to finish," Remén added.
Additional information about the contract was not offered, and Saab said other information about the unnamed customer "will not be announced." Deliveries of the system to the unidentified customer will begin this year.

Great degrees of IFN- generate a Th1 people that plays a part in security against infections and bacterias, whereas a world of IL-4 network marketing leads to advancement of Th2 cells that are defensive against helminths (1). Allergic asthma is normally held that occurs because of a dysregulated Th2 response to Rabbit Polyclonal to FPR1. environmental things that trigger allergies, as it is normally characterized by elevated degrees of the Th2 cytokines IL-4, -5, -9, and -13 (2C4). Manipulation of Th2 function continues to be proposed like a novel strategy for treatment of asthma, and enhancing Th1 reactions in sensitive individuals has been proposed as one method of such a strategy. In mice, transfer of Th1 cells offers been shown to down-regulate pathology induced by transfer of Th2 cells only, and this inhibition has been shown to be IFN- dependent (5). T cell Ig and mucin domainCcontaining molecule-3 (Tim-3) was described as a transmembrane protein preferentially indicated on Th1 cells (6). Inside a Th1-mediated model of experimental sensitive encephalomyelitis (EAE), in vivo neutralization of Tim-3 resulted in increased disease severity. Two further studies suggested that Tim-3 IPI-504 function was required for peripheral tolerance and acquisition of transplantation tolerance, respectively (7, 8). In addition, galectin-9 has recently been IPI-504 identified as the ligand for Tim-3, and it has been shown that administration of galectin-9 induced selective death of Th1 cells and inhibited the development of EAE (9). Collectively, these studies implied that signaling through Tim-3 may negatively regulate Th1 reactions, and thus suppression of Tim-3 may inhibit Th2 reactions such as sensitive disease through enhancement of a Th1 response. Tim-3 belongs to a novel family of genes that map to a region of chromosome 11 termed (locus might regulate Th cell differentiation during main antigen-specific reactions (10). Presently, the Tim gene family members has eight associates, Tim-1C8, and genomic evaluation has revealed an similar Tim category of genes is available in human beings (11). Polymorphisms in individual -3 and Tim-1 have already been connected with atopy, suggesting which the Tim family members may have useful roles in individual hypersensitive illnesses (12). In mouse, Tim-1C3 are portrayed by Th2 and Th1 cells during T cell differentiation reciprocally, but their roles in the introduction of atopy and allergy never have yet been investigated. Therefore, we've utilized a monoclonal antibody to Tim-3 to determine the effect of Tim-3 blockade on development of allergen-induced airway pathology and AHR in mice. RESULTS AND Conversation Administration of antiCTim-3 antibody decreased airway swelling induced by transfer of Th2 cells Tim-3 offers previously been found to be indicated by Th1 cells in vitro (6C8). Although allergen-induced airway swelling is considered to be primarily a Th2-driven disease, Tim-3 manifestation on CD4 cells improved in both airway lumen and lung cells after either allergen sensitization and challenge or transfer of allergen-reactive Th2-polarized cells (Fig. S1, available at http://www.jem.org/cgi/content/full/jem.20062093/DC1). Because we recognized increased Tim-3 manifestation in the lung during allergen-induced airway disease, we assessed the effect of antiCTim-3 antibody treatment on swelling induced by transferring OVA-reactive, Th2-polarized cells into naive mice, and demanding IPI-504 with OVA through the airways (Fig. S2 A, available at http://www.jem.org/cgi/content/full/jem.20062093/DC1). AHR was measured as changes in Penh, lung resistance, and compliance. Transfer of Th2 cells resulted in significantly improved AHR compared with mice that received PBS instead of cells (Fig. 1, ACC). Interestingly, this AHR response was significantly decreased by treatment with antiCTim-3 antibody (Fig. 1, ACC). Number 1. Administration of antiCTim-3 antibody inhibits the development of AHR induced by transfer of polarized, OVA-reactive Th2 cells. AHR was measured 24 h after the final OVA challenge by IPI-504 changes in Penh (A). Penh outcomes were verified by invasive … We assessed the result of antiCTim-3 antibody in lung tissues eosinophilia also. Administration of antiCTim-3 considerably decreased eosinophil quantities in the lung tissues weighed against mice that received control Ig (Fig. 2 A). Amount 2. Administration of antiCTim-3 antibody reduces eosinophil and Th2 cell.

Q: I don't have the app but the studio says that I have it with a different signature I'm using Android Studio 3.5 and can't install an app from it.
My app is already on play store and I'm upgrading the app.
It keeps saying there's a same application.
Okay, so I deleted it, but it keeps saying that.
First a pop-up window saying that I will have to uninstall the existing application. I know why it happens. I develop on my laptop and my desktop at the same time so it happens all the time. And this app doesn't have my data so I've clicked okay and proceeded and there was no problem. But,
The device already has an application with the same package but a different signature.
Retry
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE
in new. And even I don't have the app, why does it say like that???
And installation is way too quick on play store.
I think the app isn't deleted properly.
So basically, I have no app on the phone, the data, cache, apk, anything, but it keeps saying there is a same app with a different signature.
I have

*

*Deleted the existing app and it still didn't work

*Re-downloaded the app and ran and didn't work
And as expected, it says if I wanna delete it, pushed OK. And the app is
automatically deleted.

*also adb uninstall com.~~.~~ not working

*Set debuggable true, still not working

*Ran on a friend's phone which already has the exact same app from the store
and it works.

*Tried to disable instant run but android studio 3.5 does not have that anymore.

*Rebooted my phone.

*Deleted caches of android studio and restarted it, as many as I could.

*adb shell pm list packages -f : the package does not exist.

*done adb uninstall com.~~.~~ and got Success code, but still not working

There's nothing wrong with codes.
Build works perfect. It runs perfectly on my friend's phone.
I expect for the app to run perfectly but,
the studio says
The device already has an application with the same package but a different signature.
Retry
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE
Also, installation is too slow. It wasn't slow like this.

A: this happen when you have multiple spaces or user in single phone, it will be helpful if you can tell about your phone model


The IDS has been enacted vide Chapter IX of the Finance Act, 2016 containing sections 181-199. IDS Rules have been framed. There have been large number of clarifications by way of notifications, circulars and series of FAQ. The last circular seems to be issued on 21.09.2016 , and last series that is sixth series of FAQ have been issued recently ( not found) in search.
In view of fact that clarifications are still continuing, and still there are many confusions prevailing.
Besides making a proper and complete declaration of undisclosed income, require lot of preparation ( for collection of information, valuation, etc), in view of author, it is imperative and desirable that the last date for making declaration should be extended.
Due date for filing of ITR for Assessment Year 2016-17 (for previous year ended on 31.03.16) has been extended to 17th October 2016 in cases where assessee is required to get his accounts audited and also cases where his return of income is dependent on another assessee whose accounts need to be audited.
a. any assessment year prior to the assessment year beginning on the 1st day of April, 2017 ( that is for anythe previous earlier to year01.04.2016 - 31.03.2017).
Here section 139 has been used and not 139(1). Therefore, even if a person has not furnished return within time allowed u/s 139(1) he can file return belatedly is covered and also a person who can file a revised return is also covered..
As discussed earlier, declaration under IDS can be made including for Assessment Year 2016-17, for assessment year 2016-17 in some cases there is still time to file return u/s 139(1) up to 17.10.2016.
As per IDS, declaration can be availed even for assessment year 2016-17. Whether , any income has remained undisclosed for AY 2016-17 can only be found after filing of return of income for AY 2016-17.
Besides return u/s 139(1) there are other provisions for filing of revised return, belated return etc.
Therefore, time for declaration under IDS must be after the last date for filing of return of income for assessment year 2016-17.
It seems that there are some mistakes in IDS.
The declaration should be allowed in respect of income up to assessment year 2015-16 because for assessment year 2016-17 time was available for all assessee and is also available up to 17.10.16 for some assessee.
Keeping the eligibility up to assessment year 2016-17 is likely to create lot of confusions and possible source of harassment by tax authorities on persons who may file return of income under section 139 for assessment year 2015-16 and 2016-17 , but after closure of IDS on 30.09.2016.
In case for AY 2016-17 declaration is acceptable, than for AY 2016-17 words under section 139(1) must be used instead of under section 139. Furthermore, for AY 2016-17 last date for declaration should be after the due date u/s 139(1).
For this reason also extension of last date for IDS is desirable.

This is the oath that all United States intelligence officers must take. If anyone wonders why the intelligence community leaks certain info to the press, under any president, think about this oath. Their loyalty isn't to a party or a politician, but to the constitution. If the constitution is violated, it is their duty to defend and uphold it. Sometimes that means speaking truth to power. And sometimes the media is their vessel to speak the truth. Some call it leaks. Some call it duty. Because threats are not always foreign. They can be domestic. They can be from within our own borders and within our own government buildings.


According to myth, the camel was created by Lord Shiva at the behest of his consort Parvati. Parvati shaped a strange five-legged animal from clay and asked Shiva to blow life into it. At first Shiva refused,saying that the misshapen animal will not fare well in the world, but later gave in. He folded the animal's fifth leg over its back giving it a hump, and commanded it to get up, "uth". That is how the animal got its name.The camel then needed someone to look after it, so Shiva rolled off a bit of skin and dust from his arm and made out of this the first Raika. Historically, the Raika of Rajasthan have had a unique and enduring relationship with camels. Their entire existence revolves around looking after the needs of these animals which, in turn, provide them with sustenance, wealth and companionship. When German veterinarian, Ilse Köhler-Rollefson, arrives in Rajasthan in 1991, she is Immediately enthralled by the Raikas' intimate relationship with their animals but also confronted with their existential problems.This is the story of the quest that follows to save a globally unique and humane animal culture and find a place for the camel in rapidly changing India.It is a journey that is often exasperating, sometimes funny, but keeps revealing unexpected layers of rural Rajasthani mores. A travelogue of a sort, this book takes us deeply into the diverse cultures that make Rajasthan such a fascinating place.
"ILSE KÖHLER-ROLLEFSON has worked and lived in Rajasthan, India since 1991. She fell in love with camels more than twenty-five years ago, and has dedicated most of her professional life, as a veterinarian, anthropologist and activist to this species. In 2002, she was awarded a Rolex Associate Award for Enterprise for her efforts of "Saving the Camel and Raika Heritage," in 2009 she received the Trophée de Femmes of the Yves Rocher Environmental Foundation, and in 2014 the Marwar Ratna Award. She is also founder of the League for Pastoral Peoples. Currently, she lives in Rajasthan researching and writing about pastoralists, animal cultures and sustainable livestock- keeping worldwide."
