ICSU and ISSC to merge into a new international science council
"The world faces great challenges and society increasingly looks towards science to address them. This places demands on all fields of science in all parts of the world. It compels a global response, involving strengthened collaboration within the international scientific community and between it and the world of policy and business, civil society, and the public at large", the Presidents of the ICSU and the International Social Science Council (ISSC) stated in a joint letter. The ICSU Executive Board and the ISSC Executive Committee therefore decided to consult their members on the possibility of merging the two Councils. Thus, an extraordinary ICSU General Assembly was held in Oslo, Norway, on 24 October 2016 jointly with the ISSC. IUSS was represented by Takashi Kosaki. The decision of the joint Assembly was to approve the merger in principle and to allow the two Councils to develop a strategic and transition plans for setting up a new international science council. Despite a reportedly significant number of ICSU unions being against the merger, 76% of ICSU Members and 87% of ISSC Members voted in favour of a future merger of the two organizations. The final decision on the merger will be taken by the membership of ICSU and ISSC at the ordinary General Assembly of ICSU in October 2017.

Prof. Emil Klimo (1930-2016)
The IUSS Secretariat was sad to learn of the death of Professor Emil Klimo. He headed the Department of Soil Science and Geology at the Faculty of Forestry Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic, for many years and since 1970, he was involved in the development of the current Institute of Forest Ecology, where he was deputy head and later on head. He was involved in the implementation of the flagship research projects that focused on biogeochemical cycling and soil processes in spruce ecosystems of lower vegetation zones and floodplain forests.
Prof. Klimo published more than 100 research papers in journals and conference proceedings nationally and abroad, as well as contributing to scientific books on floodplain forests and on spruce culture ecosystems in Europe. In addition to his extensive scientific work, Prof. Klimo was active in the editorial boards of several international journals, in IUBS, IUSS and will forever remain an honorary member of the Czech Soil Science Society.
Wind Erosion Quantitative Assessment
A GIS version of the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) was developed in JRC to model wind erosion at large scale. The RWEQ was developed to i) move a step forward into the large-scale wind erosion modelling, ii) evaluate the soil loss potential due to wind erosion in the arable land of the EU, and iii) provide a tool useful to support field-based observations of wind erosion. The model was designed to predict the daily soil loss potential at a ca. 1 km2 spatial resolution. The average annual soil loss predicted by GIS-RWEQ in the EU arable land totalled 0.53 Mg ha-1 yr-1. Cross-validation shows a high consistency with local measurements reported in literature. The Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) quantitative assessment (2001-2010) is available for download (together with the relevant datasets on Wind-erodible fraction) and Index of Land Susceptibility to wind erosion).

Sampling depth confounds soil acidification outcomes
Low soil pH can affect herbicide persistence, decrease nutrient availability, and contribute to metal toxicity, all of which can compromise crop production. In the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of North America, surface sampling depths of 0 to 15 or 0 to 20 cm are suggested for testing soil pH. Soil acidification, however, is often most pronounced nearer to the soil surface. In a new rex_article_content published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, researchers at the USDA-ARS Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory quantified soil pH change in two long-term dryland cropping studies near Mandan, ND. Soils were sampled at multiple depths in both studies, allowing for soil pH evaluation at surface (0–7.6 cm) as well as deeper (0–15.2 and 0–30.5 cm) depths.

Plant based remediation of acid sulphate soils
On Friday Nov 4, a small group of landholders in Western Victoria, Australia got together to plant a selection of plant species which have shown promise in remediating acid sulphate soils. The original concept was developed by Prof Del Fanning, (Emeritus Professor, Maryland University, awarded the Pons medal, 8th International Acid Sulfate Soils Conference, 2016) who formed the " Phriends of Phragmites" group to assist implementation of the ideas. The concept aligned with conclusions of the group in Australia, and an Australian Chapter has been formed, and the landholder plantout resulted.

This activity is an example of how somewhat esoteric soil research can result in on ground participation by landholders to address soil degradation issues.
What Would It Take to Mainstream 'Alternative' Agriculture?
The industrialized food system, studies have shown, is linked to greenhouse gas emissions, algal blooms, pesticide pollution, soil erosion and biodiversity loss, to name a few ecological troubles. Add to this a long list of social ills, from escalating rates of obesity to the demise of the family farmer and deadening of rural landscapes and rural economies across much of the U.S.
In 2010, the National Academies of Science updated its seminal 1989 publication "Alternative Agriculture" with a fresh look at the state of food and farming in America. Its expert panel concluded, "Growing awareness of unintended impacts associated with some agricultural production practices has led to heightened societal expectations for improved environmental, community, labor, and animal welfare standards in agriculture."

Meet NASA's robot destined to mine Martian soil
It looks like the Curiosity rover won't be the only craft exploring Mars. NASA recently released a video of its latest Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot prototype going through its paces in a test facility. "RASSOR uses counterrotating bucket drums on opposing arms to provide near-zero horizontal and minimal vertical net reaction force so that excavation is not reliant on the traction or weight of the mobility system to provide a reaction force to counteract the excavation force in low-gravity environments," NASA writes.

'Thinking soil' made of bacteria could keep buildings from collapsing
It can be quite costly, even catastrophic, when the land under a building subsides. But genetically engineered microbes may one day keep that from happening if researchers in the United Kingdom are successful. Inspired by undergraduates who made a concrete-repairing bacterium—dubbed BacillaFilla—for a synthetic biology competition, a biodesigner and his colleagues have been pushing hard to develop biocement, a material that custom-built soil microbes would produce in response to the changing pressures in soil to help shore up the ground under foundations. Toward that end, the team grew a common gut bacterium in surrogate soil—a "hydrogel" shaped into a cylinder. They subjected the bacteria-laden hydrogel to pressures up to 10 times that experienced at sea level.
They identified 122 bacterial genes that increased their activity by at least threefold by the pressure change. The team then modified the bacterial genome so that the regulatory DNA responsible for activating one of these genes was attached to a gene for a protein that glows when produced. The more pressure exerted on the microbe, the more intensely it glows. Eventually the researchers plan to replace the glowing protein gene with genes that make biocement, creating a "thinking soil" that will keep buildings safe and be a self-constructing foundation. The effort is part of a growing movement to incorporate biology into architecture.

Prince Charles joins clean soil project to combat climate change
Prince Charles urged governments, individuals and businesses to take greater care of the world's soils as part of an initiative aimed at keeping carbon locked in soil, rather than escaping into the atmosphere and causing global warming. The "4 per 1000" project is a pledge to reduce the amount of carbon leaked from soils by 0.4% a year, which would be enough to halt the rise of carbon dioxide levels in the air. Nearly 180 countries have signed up to the initiative that was set up by the French government as part of its efforts to make the Paris agreement on climate change, signed last year, a success.
At a ceremony this week to celebrate the initiative, the prince said that the preservation of farmland, forests and soils were of "absolutely critical importance – for, in my experience, the fertility and health of the soil is at the heart of everything". Drawing on his own work as an organic farmer, he contrasted organic methods with the "previously conventional" farming systems which he called "toxic". The 4 per 1000 initiative does not require farmers to adopt organic methods, but does encourage more attention to farming techniques, which are currently contributing to the erosion of soils around the world. The prince said this project could "make a remarkable contribution to the wellbeing, livelihoods, food security and resilience of farmers, to the health of the planet and to addressing climate change".

Quest to map Africa's soil microbiome begins
One thousand ziplocked bags of soil from ten countries will form the basis of the first large-scale survey of the microbial life hidden underground in sub-Saharan Africa. The leaders of the African soil microbiology project hope that the data will one day help to drive better agricultural practices and to protect ecosystems and crops in the face of climate change. "Soils are critical and soil health is vital for human and animal livelihoods," says Don Cowan, director of the Centre for Microbial Ecology and Genomics at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. He launched the project on 8 October at the consortium's first meeting in Pretoria.
Researchers increasingly recognize the importance of soil microbes to ecology and agriculture. Some bacteria and fungi colonize plant roots, promoting the plant's growth. A diverse population of soil microbes helps to regulate an ecosystem's climate, and maintains the fertility of the soil and its ability to support crops. And biotechnology companies including Monsanto are testing additives that contain soil microbes for their ability to improve agricultural productivity.

Innsbruck Nature Film Festival - Best Film on the topic of soil: Lands for Freedom
After having started to do so in the International Year of Soils in 2015, the renowned Innsbruck Nature Film Festival also in 2016 announced an award for the 'Best Film on the Topic of Soil'. This year, the documentary Lands for Freedom by Jean-Christophe Lamy (Belgium) was selected. A movie that is showing alternatives to industrial agriculture and gives insight into the motivation and success of family-led farming businesses. The movie demonstrates the important role of soils for a sustainable use of lands. It also emphasises that a thoughtful agricultural management in good terms with nature ascertains the production of valuable food. Small is considered beautiful and also economically sustainable.
Lands for Freedom paints a vivid portrait of a rebellion following 4 farmers who have decisively turned their backs on conventional farming methods. Thanks to archive material we will also go back to a time in black and white when it was commonly believed that Science could save the world from hunger and malnutrition. Pictures of European and African landscapes during the four seasons, 4 moving and provocative characters with their life stories becoming linked to each other while speaking the same language: the one of the Earth.

Le sol. Une merveille sous nos pieds (The soil. A wonder beneath our feet)
Christian Feller, Ghislain de Marsily, Christian Mougin, Guénola Pérès, Roland Poss and Thierry Winiarski (eds.) October 2016 by Editions Belin, Paris, France. 256 pages / € 24.90 / ISBN : 978-2-7011-8349-7. What do Roquefort cheese and tuberculosis have in common: the soil! The very specific taste of Roquefort cheese is due to Penicillium roqueforti, a fungus found in the soil and streptomycin, the drug used very efficiently against tuberculosis, was extracted in 1943 from Streptomyces griseus, another soil fungus. The soil is crucial for our everyday life. We use the soil, walk, drive and build on it. In a word, we live from the soil. In the present book, the authors describe this often poorly known wonder. What in essence is the soil and how is it generated? Which organisms inhabit it? How does water circulate within it? How can the soil help reduce the impact of climate change? All these aspects and many more are clearly dealt with in this remarkably illustrated volume.

Costa Rica Seeks to Attract Investors and Pensioners for Reactivating the Economy
As a way to boost the country's economic and tourist activity
Costa Rica And Pope Francis Appear in Netflix Documentary
Psilocybin: A Journey Beyond the Fear of Death
HealthGUEST WRITER - January 15, 2022
Stage 0 Breast Cancer is not Cancer
Costa Rica seeks to attract investors, rentiers and pensioners as a way to boost the country's economic and tourist reactivation after the COVID-19 health crisis, an official source reported this week.
The Costa Rican President, Carlos Alvarado, during a virtual act signed a law to attract investors, rentiers and pensioners that provides benefits such as incentives for import taxes and exemption of 20% of the transfer tax, among others.
A step in the direction of the country's recovery
"What this law achieves is to create the conditions so that these rentiers can come to the country, bring their investments and can generate employment. It is one more step in the direction of recovery, which we must all continue to push in the country," said Alvarado.
With the legislation, whoever wishes to opt for a temporary residence as an investor must demonstrate to the Directorate of Migration and Foreigners a minimum investment of $ 150,000 in real estate, registrable assets, shares, securities and productive projects or projects of national interest. Previously, it was $ 200,000.
"This law will allow creating a 25% decrease in investment so that a foreign person is granted the category of resident as an investor, including his dependents. In this way, it is intended to produce a necessary revitalization of the economy and a recovery of the levels of foreign investment of a decade ago, close to 7.8% of GDP and which today represent only 3.5%", explained the minister of Tourism, Gustavo Segura.
Many benefits
The benefits include a duty free and all import taxes present only once, for the importation of household goods, while the amounts declared as income to become a creditor will be exempt from income tax. Beneficiaries may also import up to two land, air or sea transportation vehicles, for personal or family use, free of all import, tariff and value-added taxes.
Another incentive is the exemption of 20% of the total transfer tax on those real estate acquired within the term, and the exemption of import taxes for instruments or materials for professional or scientific practice.

Q: loading a json file with javascript In a table.js javascript file I have the following code
var data = '[{"id": "234", "name":"test"}, {"id": "124", "name":"test2"}]';

Instead of writing the JSON directly on the table.js, I want to put it in a separate file an load it. I tried this code
$.getJSON("data.json", function(data) {
....
});

I got the error
$.getJSON is not a function

A: The $.getJSON() is a jQuery method, and you aren't loading the script.
To load the script add the following tag to the HEAD tag of your HTML:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

In vanilla JS you can use fetch(). Fetch calls the server, and returns a Promise. The first promise gets a reference to the Response stream, which we can read as .json(). Returning from a Promise, returns a new Promise, and now we can access the data.
Example:

const promise = fetch('https://api.spacexdata.com/v2/rockets/falcon1') // call the server
  .then(r => r.json()) // get the response stream and read it as json

promise.then(data => console.log(data)); // do something with the promise's result

Q: countably-infinite-index subgroup of a finitely generated profinite group Suppose that $G$ is a profinite group with the property that every open compact subgroup is topologically finitely generated and just infinite. Suppose that $H$ is a commensurated subgroup of $G$ with countably infinite index. I am interested in whether such subgroups can exist and what is known about them, in particular whether there are any sufficient conditions on $G$ to rule out their existence. Any useful reading material would be much appreciated.

A: Let me make two comment: If $G$ is finitely generated, than every open subgroup is finitely generated (Edit: I removed the reference). If every open subgroup is just infinite, then the group is called hereditarily just infinite.
A subgroup of countable index cannot be closed in a compact group, e.g. profinite group, because it cannot be measurable.

Brexit: The Conservative Party needs a new direction and a fresh start which will deliver Brexit
Need to talk more about Brexit? Well here you go…
We knew the European election results would be bad for the Conservative Party, but they are far worse than even the greatest pessimist could have predicted.
They are a stark warning to the Conservative Party to change – and change fast.
The results reflect the loss of public confidence and the collective failure of the Government and Parliament to get Britain out of the EU as promised. This has created a crisis of trust in our democracy and in our political institutions. Whether you voted Leave or Remain, on the doorstep people are fed up with the games that have been played out in Westminster. They want to see the type of unequivocal leadership, which keeps its promises and will take advantage of the opportunities that Brexit brings.
These European elections should never have happened, but the Conservative Party wrongly campaigned in favour of the Government's proposed Withdrawal Agreement and that position was roundly defeated.
The Withdrawal Agreement marked the surrender and capitulation of our country. Far from taking back control, the Withdrawal Agreement did not deliver the outcome of the EU referendum and went against the 2017 Conservative Party manifesto and promises made to the country. The public knew this.
Last week's exercise in democracy has shown again that millions of people care deeply about our country leaving the EU and their collective anger and frustration with the Government and Parliament for failing to deliver Brexit is clear.
The Conservative Party has needlessly antagonised the electorate and if we are not careful it will take years to repair this reputational damage. We now must devote all our efforts now to putting that right.
The Conservative Party needs a new direction and a fresh start which will deliver Brexit. We must rebuild and reconnect with our voters and members.
And we must start with a new negotiating mandate straight away. Building upon the preparation already made for leaving the EU, WTO terms puts the UK in the possible position to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement, negotiating as a 'third country'. Parliament has also enacted the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 which means we are legally ready to leave. And all the ministers who have been the 'no-deal' minister say the UK and the EU are both prepared. We must now maximise our leverage between now and 31st October with the EU, as well as making it clear we will continue to offer friendship and trade with our EU allies, and security through cooperation and through NATO.
These elections pose great questions for the electoral future and viability of both Labour and Conservative parties. All MPs need to register and understand the concern of the British public and consider the consequences for their own future. Traditional parties do not have a divine right to exist. This election is not a protest vote, but the anguished cry of a completely exasperated British public. Those who write this election off will do so at their peril.
This election is a sea change. Its shockwaves demonstrate dissatisfaction with the refusal of the establishment to deliver Brexit. There is a strong desire from the British people for a better future for our country and a need for leaders who truly believe in Britain.
By bringing forward a new generation of political leaders the Conservative Party can restore democratic accountability and trust in politics, by getting on with Brexit and delivering the economic and political freedoms the British people sought to regain with the vote to Leave.
New leadership must respect the fact that the people of this country voted to take back control of our laws and decided that Britain should be a self-governing country. That means articulating a post-Brexit vision that sets our economy and country on the right track. We should not fear being free from the EU and instead embrace new freedoms to exercise greater fiscal flexibility and regulatory reform to transform our country into a dynamic engine of prosperity, job creation and growth while generating the wealth to provide high quality public services.
Brexit should act as a catalyst for a new era of prosperity for an outward-looking UK, ambitious to remove barriers to trade, enterprise and economic growth. As the fifth largest economy in the world and a history of success from the ambition and entrepreneurial skills of our people we can prosper as a free and independent country. The people recognise this and it is about time our political leaders did too.

Brilliant Canelo Alvarez shines in unanimous win over Callum Smith
·Combat columnist
Canelo Alvarez was the shorter man, but far from the smaller man Saturday in his super middleweight title unification bout against Callum Smith at the Alamodome.
Alvarez showed why he's the best fighter in the world in running away from Smith to capture the WBA and WBC titles by scores of 119-109 twice and 117-111. Yahoo Sports had it a shutout, 120-108, for Alvarez.
Alvarez walked Smith down from the first bell, backing the bigger man up repeatedly and punishing him with crushing shots. Smith had an eight-inch height advantage, but that was the only edge he had on this night.
Alvarez's offense was diverse, as he threw every punch there is, and he connected on 43 percent of his total punches and an astounding 57 percent of his power punches.
He was so good that he must be seriously in the conversation now as the finest Mexican-born fighter of all time. That's been Julio Cesar Chavez for years, and he set a standard that didn't seem reachable. But Alvarez is closing ground fast and soon there will have to be a discussion.
He's a brilliant all-around fighter whose defense against Smith was on display throughout the night. He parried and slipped punches, moved his head and feet and was in command all night, holding Smith to just an 18 percent connect rate.

He has won world titles at 154, 160, 168 and 175 pounds, but rarely has he looked as good as he did on Saturday. Still, Alvarez wasn't ready to call it the best.
"It's one of the best nights for me and I won the unified titles," Alvarez said. "It's one of the greatest nights I've had, but I'll go for more."
The only blight against Alvarez on Saturday was that he didn't finish Smith, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. He was hitting him with both hands, on the head and in the body, hard, quick and vicious. Smith was reeling several times, but he showed his toughness by refusing to go down.
His brother, Liam, was knocked out in the ninth round by Alvarez in 2016 in a 154-pound title fight, and this was not much different.
"He's a good fighter, I have to give him credit," Callum Smith said.
He's better than good. Let's get that right: He's great. There is no finer fighter in the world at this moment, a moment when there are a lot of super elite fighters in their primes.
Alvarez, though, is one of the best and he's beginning to push himself into that all-time territory.

US STOCKS-Wall St set to open higher ahead of Yellen speech; spotlight on earnings
Wall Street was set to open higher on Tuesday after upbeat earnings from big U.S. banks and Halliburton, while investors awaited a speech from U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen that is expected to advocate hefty fiscal spending. Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc added 2.5% as its fourth-quarter profit more than doubled, dwarfing estimates after another blowout performance at its trading and underwriting business. Bank of America also topped fourth-quarter profit estimates and joined JPMorgan, Citigroup Inc and Wells Fargo & Co in releasing some cash reserves to cover for coronavirus-driven loan losses, underscoring its confidence in the economy.
State support stops pandemic sinking one in ten German firms -IMF
Government support is keeping roughly one in ten German companies afloat that would otherwise have gone bust during the coronavirus pandemic, the International Monetary Fund has found. In a report that on Tuesday laid bare the scale of economic damage masked by state aid, the Fund also warned that, once support was unwound, bankruptcy could soar, potentially weakening Germany's banks. German government support - broad-based and including guarantees, grants and waivers on filing for insolvency - has been among the most generous among western nations, according to a separate study by think tank Bruegel.
The European Union's foreign policy chief said on Tuesday he was keen to visit Moscow to discuss the detention of poisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny, and that sanctions on Russia over the issue were not the only possible response. "We are not against pressure, but pressure has to be graduated," Josep Borrell told Reuters in an interview. Borrell said he had an open invitation from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to visit Moscow, and the current circumstances made such a trip "more necessary than ever".

Covid vaccine supply issues to blame for weekend drop in jabs, insists Number 10
A snag in the supply of Covid-19 jabs is behind the drop in the number of first doses administered on Sunday, Downing Street has said. No10 stressed the Government was not stockpiling vaccines and they were being rushed out to hospitals, GP hubs and mass vaccination centres as quickly as possible. "As ministers have said on a number of occasions it is supply that is the limiting factor at present but as you have seen throughout December and through January we have ramped up the vaccination programme and you will have seen yesterday that we hit four million dose mark."

How is Serenity HospiceCare Different?
Serenity HospiceCare was established in 1989 which makes us the most experienced hospice company in the area. From the beginning, we have had a board of directors that is made up of people who live, work and worship right here in the counties that we serve. We have many long standing employees with 15+ year's tenure. As new employees come on board, the legacy of integrity and compassion are passed down.
Counties in Missouri that we service: St. Francois County, Iron County, Washington County, Madison County, Perry County, Ste. Genevieve County, Bollinger County, parts of Reynolds County and parts of Jefferson County.
Serenity HospiceCare has always been an independent, non-profit hospice company. We are not affiliated with a particular hospital or healthcare system. The decisions for your loved one are made right here by our team of end of life specialists.
Our patients are cared for by nurses and CNA's. A Registered Nurse and a CNA are assigned to each patient. They have been educated and trained and are all backed by a team of experienced specialists in end of life care. We believe it is vital for patients and family members to feel a bond with the team that cares for them. This happens when there is trust in their experience and the consistency of one team providing their care.
As a spiritually based company, we believe that there is a God inspired longing at the core of all human beings to connect with the Creator. However, spirituality is a broad spectrum word that is defined by the individual. It may be based on religious beliefs or in the context of life experiences. At Serenity HospiceCare, we care for the whole person and do not discriminate against anyone of any age, gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or financial situation.
Our on call nurse will be there within an hour, providing you peace of mind and a trusted resource that can relieve stress.
Serenity HospiceCare is a 501(c) (3) Non-Profit Organization. As a non-profit, we do not refuse service to anyone for the inability to pay. Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance typically covers all of our services and supplies; however, if a patient is not covered, or does not have insurance, they still receive our care. This is obtainable by the generosity of those that make donations to Serenity HospiceCare.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/html/DatasystemsCORE/DatasystemsCORE/static'

I don't understand why Django is creating static directory outside of my existing static directory ? Why I have permission denied ?
How I can import Admin static element into my static directory ?
I assume static files coming from this path : .virtualenvs/DSCoreEnv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/

A: I'm posting this answer based on Alasdair's answer who helped me to solve my issue.
I didn't overcome to collect static files because my directory was inside my Django Web Project. It was a mistake and I created a new directory outside of my Django Project.
I specified the path in my settings.py file. Then, I executed this command :
python manage.py collectstatic

Actually, all static files are in my ne directory, outside of Django Project and it works fine !
