NEW HEATHROW CONSULTATION WON'T STOP CAMPAIGN TO QUASH PLANS
RESS RELEASE
For immediate use
News that Heathrow will consult further on its third runway plans in June will not stop campaigners from pushing to block the plans.
Heathrow Airport are launching a statutory consultation as part of their hope to obtain a development consent order to build a new runway.
The airport will consult residents and stakeholders on its preferred locations for a raft of new airport-related development, including, but not limited to a new immigration detention centre, fuel storage depots, flood storage areas, diverting of local waterways, supersize car parks, dozens of new hotels, borrow pits, as well as addressing major biodiversity concerns.
Many people living in areas immediately around Heathrow, such as West Drayton, Hayes, Bedfont, Stanwell and Cranford, as well as places further afield such as Windsor and Uxbridge will see parts of their areas become part of the expanded airport infrastructure. Residents will be invited to respond to those plans which will change the face of their area.
A recent High Court judgment ruled objections to the plans should be raised at the detailed planning stage and not at the earlier stage following a general National Policy Statement in 2018. Claimants, including five local authorities, the Mayor of London and others, are currently appealing the decision (1).
Jackie Clark, Chair of Stop Heathrow Expansion, said:
"This consultation is the most important yet for the expansion proposals. The location of new detention centres, fuel storage depots, flood storage areas, dozens of new hotels, supersize car parks and other airport related development is going to be of massive interest to people in the Heathrow Villages, West Drayton, Hayes, Bedfont, Stanwell, Colnbrook and beyond. We'll be reminding residents just what Heathrow expansion means for their lives.
"At the same time, we will continue working with a group of local authorities, the Mayor of London and others taking legal action against a third runway and remain confident that at the next stage of the process we will successfully stop these disastrous proposals for our community from ever taking off at the planning stage in the process."

Q: How to use multiple proxy in urllib2? Hello
I'm have a task - create script, what will walk in internet and change proxy from list.
I'm see in module urllib2: ProxyHandler and HTTPPasswordMgr, but manual is poor.
1. In documentation ProxyHandler get dict with many proxy-server, how to I'm can select from list and use for url_open?
2. HTTPPasswordMgr have method add_password, but for what it? How to it will select auth-data for proxy, for what it have: realm?
3. How to right use multiple proxy in urllib2? I'm think only create a list with all my proxy and create new 'opener' for each request.
Thanks

A: ProxyHandler can use a different proxy for different protocols (HTTP, etc.) but I don't think it will help you.  You should be able to write your own class for your needs without much difficulty.

Gravner wines: Are orange wines game changers or Hyperprism?
Josko Gravner is an Italian producer from the Friuli region. Mr. Gavner created a reputation for himself from a radical winemaking technique that he has espoused (amphora) and the original wines that he produces, the so called orange wines.
By the way, Orange wine is not made with oranges.
Gravner's Damascus moment came around 20 years ago when he visited California. One can see him on his website in a video relating this experience. He realised that Americans were making wines for 50 years or so and couldn't help contrasting this with the (ex USSR) Republic of Georgia where they have been making wine for 5000 years. Somewhat dissatisfied with what he experienced in the US, he travelled to Georgia and had an epiphany : he liked the taste of the wines there and decided that he would champion this wine making technique in Friuli (Italy). He proceded to order large clay amphoras from Georgia, buried them in the ground and decided to use a very long maceration technique plus a prolonged big vat (seven years!) finishing of the wines. Resembling Fukuoka's The one straw revolution, his techniques for grape growing and wine making are rather radical : do nothing. Let Mother Nature take care of the process, intervene as little as possible and and…wait. (see how he does it on his webpage : link).
After all this time, the wines are of an amber colour with orange hues. One could expect heavily oxydised wines but the wines are nothing of that sort. There is an oxydative expression in the style of the wines but the taste is so special, so particular that it doesn't resemble anything. Although difficult to figure, the wines for a part seem to be sitting in between categories but at the same time could not be dimissed as a simple curiosity or the production of somebody who tries to be clever and outsmart his fellow (conventional) winemakers.
The wines have complexity, a long finish with a strong, imposing salinity (that I personally appreciate) and one wine striked a remarkable balance.
Some say that Gravner wines are whites that perform like red wines (they have tanins due to the long maceration time).
I personally like these brandy aromas. If you are a scotch drinker, it may make you think of a light scotch.
The other is simply called Ribolla and is made 100% with the Ribolla Gialla grape.
Nota : The wines were sourced and tasted while in Venice during the last week of November 2017. I have controlled the Gravner Ribolla against the Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla version. Wines were tasted three times over a period of three days as standalones and with some food.
I will not comment on the Breg. The wine with its 14,5 % abv had a strong alcohol presence and seemed unbalanced. There was also an unpleasant presence of volatile acidity. Maybe it was a defective sample, I therefore reserve my judgement .
The Ribolla on the other hand was a model of balance, with a refreshing acidity and a long saline mineral finish that lingered.
Although an atypical wine, Gravner Ribolla controlled against the fresh Ronchi di Cialla one (and nothwittanding its completely different style and taste profile) still captured the DNA of the Ribolla grape.
So, is this a good wine?
So called orange wines are actually a hot item for the hipsters Sommeliers and have found their audience.
Not everybody are part of it though, Hugh Jonnson OBE apparently dissed the orange wine phenomenon as "A sideshow and a waste of time". I personnally wouldn't say that. On the contrary, it is more « challenge & work in progress » for sommeliers and chefs who should band together to create imaginative pairings.
I personally found pairing it with cured ham and mascarpone cheese satisfying and I wonder if orangy citrusy sauces and fatty fish (smoked salmon, eel) wouldn't be good dancing partners for the Gravner 2007 Ribolla. We know that scotch and smoked salmon work well together as do smoked oysters. Maybe it would be worth tearing a page from the scotch-pairing songbook and see if it would suggest good solutions for the Gravner.
Having asked a young Venice sommelier, Elisa Pantano, from the Osteria Anice Stellato (who has Damijan et al. on her well curated wine list) if she was thinking that orange was the new black? She said that the wine pair good with fatty fish but she thinks that, at the end of the day, these orange wines are better enjoyed as standalones, maybe late at night, in front of the fireplace. I concur.
Orange wines are not for everybody, maybe it is a fad, but in my opinion, wines like the Gravner Ribolla are serious, well structured, and built to last. Hence their presence is required in a comprehensive curated wine cellar. We have created at my butler and wine schools a strong program leading to a Master in Wine Cellar Managment. Gravner wines should be acknowledged and suggested (especially) to patrons who are partial to both scotch and wine.
To sum it up, "A sideshow and a waste of time" they are not.
During the years when I was a student at the Conservatory of Music in the seventies, I remember relishing the musical analysis class. When we studied Bach the Art of the Fugue (BWV 1080) or, for example Beethoven 8th Symphony, we were collectively in awe, marveling at the creative power, the intelligence and the genius of the great classical composers. During these musical analysis class, we discovered modern and contemporary music too. I remembered that we analysed Hyperprism from the French composer Edgar Varèse. Being guided by an enthusiastic teacher, we were all appreciative of how clever Varèse was, producing this sort of architectured avant-garde music for the time (Hyperprism was composed in 1923).
I remembered as well having bought the record to listen to it a lot, trying to get a feel for it.
But, once this music course was completed, my interest somewhat disappeared. I stopped listening to Varèse Hyperprism and my other comrades' interest for this composer fell by the wayside.
No such thing happened for Bach, Beethoven, Mozart… though. The older one gets, the more it grows on you (it certainly did that to me).
So, can orange wines become "classics" and avoid the originality trap?
Wine own food and orange wine will find a place at the table, sorry, on the table, if it inspires good sommeliers and chefs in collaborations to create new and delicious dishes (judiciously paired) to add to the gastronomic canon.

McGrady files bill to curb land condemnation
By Bill Moss, Published: February 4, 2013
State Rep. Chuck McGrady introduced legislation to amend the North Carolina Constitution to limit government's use of eminent domain to take private property.
Coal ash bill puts local delegation in spotlight
McGrady promises focus on teacher pay
Voicing public school support, Edwards challenges McGrady
McGrady gets legislative oversight posts
McGrady, Whitmire support autism coverage bill
House Bill 8 would specifically prohibit condemnation of private property except for a public use and provide for the payment of just compensation with right of trial by jury in all condemnation cases.
McGrady, a Republican from Hendersonville, co-sponsored a similar bill last session. It passed the House with bipartisan support, but was never taken up by the Senate. This session, McGrady is the lead sponsor of the legislation and has already begun to work on getting it heard in the Senate after it passes the House.
"I've talked to Senate leadership, including Senator Apodaca (R-Henderson), and I'm expecting that the Senate will take up the bill this session if the House once again passes it with bipartisan support," said the second-term representative, who is also a lawyer.
McGrady's bill is directed at keeping North Carolina law as it presently is. It is a direct response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. New London, Conn., a case in 2005 that led the court to liberalize the test for when a government can take a person's private property. Until the Kelo decision, a government couldn't force the sale of property to the government unless it was for a "public use." After the Kelo decision, a government could force the sale of property to the government if it was deeded for a "public purpose" or a "public benefit."
"In Kelo, the U.S. Supreme Court found it was constitutional for a government to take a lady's home where she had lived her entire life, make her sell it, and then for the local government to sell it to developers so they could make more money and the town could get more taxes," McGrady said in a news release. "Fortunately, in Kelo, the U.S. Supreme Court also said the States were free to restrict eminent domain more than that, and that is precisely what my legislation proposes to do. If approved by the voters, state and local governments could only take land that is needed for a public use. They wouldn't be able to seize land where they could only show some public purpose or public benefit." McGrady's bill would put the constitutional amendment on the General Election ballot in November 2014.
McGrady said he expects the Eminent Domain bill to receive broad bipartisan support. Among its its primary cosponsors are Speaker Pro Tem Paul Stam (R-Wake) and a Democratic legislator, Ken Goodman (D- Richmond).

Southern River Terrapin Released Back Into Sre Ambel River In Cambodia

Estimates point to less than 10 nesting females of Batagur affinis in Cambodia's river system.
Western Pond Turtles in Washington Rebound From Brink of Extinction
Desert Tortoise Habitat Opens In El Mirage, California
Bog Turtle Survival Enhanced Due To Public Private Conservation Efforts
The World Conservation Society, Cambodian Fisheries Administration, Wildlife Reserves Singapore, and villagers near the Sre Ambel River in Cambodia released a southern river terrapin (Batagur affinis) back into the wild last week after it was accidentally captured by a local fisherman in April 2011. The female turtle, one of an estimated 10 nesting females left in the Sre Ambel River weighed about 75 pounds when she was released and was equipped with a satellite tracking device that will monitor her movements throughout the river system.

Villagers release a female Batagur affinis back into the Sre Ambel River, Cambodia.
The data collected by the device will help scientists to determine how the turtle navigates commercial fishing grounds and other areas of the river. Scientists will then identify the areas that the turtle frequents and then focus their efforts on those areas in an effort to reduce the number of incidental catches by fisherman as well as reduce targeted hunting of the turtles. This marks the first time that this species has been tracked via satellite.
The turtle was once off limits to the Cambodian population as it was deemed property of the king of Cambodia. It was considered extinct in Cambodia until the year 2000 when a small population of the turtles were found in the Sre Ambel River.
The southern river terrapin is native to Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Its Northern river terrapin (Batagur baska) counterpart is native to rivers and waterways of India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar (Burma). According to the IUCN, both populations of these species have been devastated by human consumption of their eggs and meat, habitat alteration and destruction, and net fishing.

Networks provide the natural framework to model the dynamical processes and interactions arising in large-scale multi-agent systems. Whether such interactions are embodied by the exchange of opinions in a social network, data gathering in a sensor network, or signal transduction in a biological network, the topology that determines these interactions plays a key role. This observation has recently led scientists and engineers working in the areas of dynamical processes and control to take a fresh look at networked systems and to develop novel mathematical tools. These efforts are starting to form the basis for a Network Science of dynamical systems. This process is accelerated by the realization that large-scale multi-agent networks (both natural and man-made) are ubiquitous and have a tremendous societal importance. Several researchers at UCSB are active participants in the development of a Network Science of dynamical systems, with extensive expertise in natural large-scale networks (ranging for cellular regulatory networks to ecosystem level networks), in artificial networks (including sensor networks, networks of robots, and the power grid), and in societal networks (such as online social networks and networks of influence and opinion).
A science of large-scale dynamical networks requires fundamentally different approaches and mathematical tools than those traditionally taught in graduate education in dynamical systems and control. This statement is amply supported by the nature of the most recent discoveries in this area, which inevitably resulted from the combination of tools and approaches from a wide range of disciplines. For example, the analysis of consensus networks combines tools from algebraic graph theory, Lyapunov stability, and switched dynamical systems; the design of distributed estimation algorithms uses tools from circuit theory, distributed computation, and vector space optimization; the analysis of routing algorithms for sparse ad-hoc mobile networks can benefit from tools from stochastic process, queuing theory, and partial differential equations; the analysis of synchronization phenomena in power networks relies upon tools from coupled oscillator, statistical physics and non-smooth analysis. The need to combine tools from such a diverse set of areas stems from the need to discover approaches to model, analyze, and control dynamical processes in a manner that scales to a large number of agents and to find innovative ways to bypass combinatorial complexity barriers. In summary, our emphasis is on modern convex optimization methods for the identification of structure and estimation of parameters in large-scale dynamical networks, such as gene expression in biological networks and opinion dynamics in social networks.

Telling Our Stories of Home
Exploring and Celebrating Changing African and African-Diaspora Communities
International Artists and Scholars
USA Artists and Scholars
Performance Companies
Parking & Lodging
The current disruptions to African and diasporan communities through war, terrorism, globalization, gentrification, environmental catastrophe, and mass incarceration offer layers of meaning for "home." The 6-day conference-festival (spread over two weekends, including a 1-week residency for some of the presenters), Telling Our Stories of Home, will bring together outstanding national and international faculty, activists, and performers to offer critical and artistic approaches through a series of workshops, presentations, films, and performances to engage in public and feminist discourses on home. The event will end with the inaugural reading of the commissioned play, Torn Asunder, produced from the scholarly text, Help Me to Find My People, which examines the quest of newly emancipated people to reunite their families and reconstitute their homes after the disruptions of both enslavement and the U.S. Civil War.
This conference festival provides a platform for women in Africa and its diaspora to share stories across national boundaries. The ability to bring women from Africa, the Americas, and Asia—a site seldom included in African diaspora studies—is an opportunity for UNC-CH and the state of North Carolina to foster change across the globe. In addition to bringing these far-flung parts of the diaspora together to understand how each constructs home and develop local communities, another innovative aspect of this collaboration is the implications home has on issues a range of issues globally and in our back yard (health outcomes, the carceral state, inclusive/exclusive notions of citizenship, history, etc.). In Africa and its diaspora, slavery has been a considerable shaper of families and notions of home. The African Diaspora in Asia (notably India, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan) has created communities, but most African-descended people are not viewed as citizens and their notions of home, history, and belonging are severely impacted. The Siddis of India is one African diasporan community not often discussed and certainly not discussed in terms of an Indian home space. Black women artists have a particularly useful perspective to offer concerning notions of home because their (our) homes have often been contingent with other factors—e.g., citizenship (or lack thereof) versus national origins and our health, intimate partnerships, and economic class. We believe this conference and the arts in general can be a model for invigorating civil society.

... not just reserved for your ice cream anymore, this subtle pastel is popping up all across the trend spectrum for spring. Fresh and fun, mint can certainly add a jolt of life to any space [or outfit]- even if its just in the form of a few great candlesticks!
outdoor mesh balloon chairs? yes, please!
I could not be more in love with that mint bookcase! I'm working on our library right now and that is definitely going in the inspiration folder. Thanks for sharing!
I keep seeing green since the new year. It's not one of my favorite colors but looking these pics I might have to reconsider.
That mint bookshelf is my favorite, so soft and pretty!
Love the walls in that last room! Certainly a color to consider!
love the bookshelves and the chandelier with the candles is breathtaking!
You just introduced me to a hue I hadn't really considered before and totally inspired me - thank you!
You'll love it and I have that last room but from a different angle. I'm glad I got to see it at this angle.
Do you know who did by chance?
This is delightful. I just love those balloon chairs!
I saw a room in an older Martha Stewart magazine that had mint green furniture in it and was in love! These images are great!
great post Keely! I'm in love with blue-greenish colors!!!


STUDENTS at a Northern Rivers primary school were forced to re-sit exams after their principal was accused of interfering with the administration of NAPLAN tests, The Northern Star can reveal.
A parent from the school has told The Northern Star the principal is alleged to have coached Year 5 students on the NAPLAN language conventions test in 2010, with children having to re-sit assessments last term to make up for the invalid NAPLAN results.
The revelation comes as an official report reveals a number of substantiated incidents of cheating and security breaches by teachers during last year's national numeracy and literacy (NAPLAN) tests.
A Department of Education official has confirmed the department investigated allegations about how NAPLAN was administered at the Northern Rivers primary school and said "appropriate action" was taken, but would not reveal details of their investigation except to say the matter was now finalised.
The principal was not stood down from the position following the allegations, the official said, but remains on leave from the school and a relieving principal remains in place as school resumes next week.
"The relieving principal has strong community support," the official said.
Last term the School Education Director for the Wilson School Education Area, John Lynch, attended a meeting at the school called by the P&C to address staffing arrangements.
A new report, released by The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) this month, reveals details of a range of cheating and security breaches by teachers across Australia, including NSW principals.
The reported incidents included police being called in to investigate NAPLAN tests that went missing in one NSW school; cases where teachers provided assistance to students during tests, including a NSW principal found to have helped students complete a test.
The NSW Department of Education official would not say which NAPLAN breach incident listed in ACARA reports related specifically to the investigation into the Northern Rivers school principal.
TREVOR Cobbold, national convener of advocacy group: Save Our Schools, said that since NAPLAN results were published publicly on the My School website in 2010 there had been an increase in the number of instances where teachers are cheating on the tests.
"In Australia there is increased pressure on schools and teachers to be seen to be improving their results," he said.
"We've had several incidents since My School was first introduced in 2010, for example teachers suggesting answers to students; teachers opening the NAPLAN booklets before the test to coach students before the exam or in some cases teachers leaving spelling and numeracy charts up on the wall for students to refer to during the exam or encouraging poorly performing students not to turn up to school on the day of the NAPLAN test.
"I even know of one elite private school that starts coaching their kids from grade 1 for the grade 3 NAPLAN test.
"Ironically, publishing the results publicly and ranking schools in newspapers has the opposite effect on education by narrowing the curriculum taught and by creating these cheating situations."

Today on OiB, I will discuss the secret to happiness. Being happy is the key to good health and a good health is vital to having a successful life. This could work the other way round too but this way happiness is always guaranteed.
2017 will be my 5th year abroad, living in Asia. I feel blessed most of the time. It takes sometimes a quick reminder to myself to keep in mind how lucky I am. Plus, having OiB has become a personal investment that drives me toward my best!
There are many ways that one can employ in order to be happy but the best ways are the ones that are on one hand proved to bring about happiness and on the other hand also make you vulnerable even when living alone. These ways have brought me immense calmness and satisfaction which have led me to feel complete and thus happy as well. The following are some ways through which one can stay happy alone as well.
Remember this notion to always succeed and feel good about the independence of life.
Always keep your own advice above others while respecting and acknowledging theirs on the side as well.
Get more out of everything by paying attention to it closely.
Establish enjoying silence as a way of thinking of it as an opportunity to reflect more peacefully.
Practice listening to what your mind has been asking you to do so you know what you want and need.
It is important to understand that no moment can ever come back hence cherishing each of them is important.
Rearrange your furniture or something to actually make yourself feel out of routine life.
Learn to have time to focus and reflect what you want from your life and do not ignore it through mindless TV watching activities etc.
Always keep making plans so that your creativity isn't rusted or lost through the time and you feel proud of yourself.
Starting a blog? Try marathons?
Always have new plans for yourself and pursue them as soon as it is possible to keep yourself from losing any energy and excitement altogether.
Travel outside your confort zone?
Do what you thought you won't ever be able to and do away with your fear of being unable to do something.
Volunteering is the best way to stay happy alone. It gives you inner satisfaction as you do new things without any expectation in return. This helps one rise above expectations and lifts you to stay elevated for your own self.
Wishing you all a lovely day ♥ More inspiring talks on Facebook and Instagram!

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in the Philippines as Typhoon Kammuri hit Luzon, the country's largest and most populous island.
Kammuri made landfall near the city of Gubat on Monday evening local time and has continued to strengthen. The storm has clocked maximum sustained winds near 215 kilometers per hour (130 mph), according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, making it a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
The eye of the typhoon, known locally as Tisoy, was set to move directly over Legazpi City in the next few hours, bringing damaging winds and torrential rainfall, which could lead to devastating mudslides. The typhoon will track across the Central Philippines and southern Luzon over the next 24 hours before emerging into the South China Sea early Wednesday morning.
Authorities in the Albay province, where Legazpi City is situated, began evacuating 100,000 people in anticipation of the storm, according to the government-run Philippines News Agency (PNA).
"We have to evacuate them and for those (residents) who are stubborn, I have directed the police to forcibly bring them to the nearest evacuation camps," Albay Gov. Al Francis Bichara said, PNA reported.

Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal Number 3 – out of the country's domestic five-level scale – has been raised by authorities in several parts of the Philippines, while Signal No. 2 has been raised in Metro Manila.
Kammuri forced schools across the region to close Monday, according to CNN Philippines. Philippines-based airline Cebu Pacific has canceled a number of flights.
There are also concerns that the storm could affect the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, a biennial regional athletic competition that the Philippines is hosting. The games, which formally began Saturday, are expected to feature more than 8,000 athletes from 11 participating nations.
While December sees fewer typhoons in the Western Pacific, the waters around the Philippines stay warm enough to support typhoons in any month of the year.
This story has been updated to clarify the frequency of typhoons in the Philippines in December.
