Zhu Jiaming: Blockchain is likely to bring a "paradigm revolution" in the scientific field
On December 6, 2019, the "Hainan Free Trade Port Digital Economy and Blockchain International Cooperation Forum" was held in Haikou. Professor Zhu Jiaming, an economist and director of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Digital Asset Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Scientific Features of Comprehensive Cognitive Blockchain" at the meeting.
He pointed out that blockchain is not only technology, but also science. And, blockchain is a comprehensive science, involving mathematics, cryptography, computer science, quantum computing, and so on. Related disciplines are not exhaustive, and there are likely to be undiscovered disciplines. There is a mapping relationship between the blockchain scientific system and the blockchain technology cluster: the expansion of the scientific foundation can support the expansion of the blockchain technology cluster, and the expansion of the blockchain technology cluster will push the scientific foundation deeper. Blockchain is likely to bring about a "paradigm revolution" in science.
Based on the basic consensus that blockchain is science, Professor Zhu Jiaming proposed the establishment of the "Blockchain Academy of Sciences" as the main sponsor, and put forward a ten-point initiative when the Blockchain Academy was established.

Quantitative analysis of the decentralization of the mainstream public chain: Bitcoin is not the first, second only to BCH
The following is the full text of Professor Zhu Jiaming's speech:
Good morning, every body. The theme of my speech today is "Comprehensive Understanding of the Scientific Features of Blockchain."
Einstein once said that science is endless and it is an eternal mystery (Science is endless, it is an eternal mystery.) Blockchain is not only technology, but science. Therefore, the blockchain also has these two characteristics: firstly, the understanding and research of the blockchain is endless; secondly, the blockchain has brought us too many imaginations and made us face too many puzzles mystery of.
Due to time, I will focus on six points today:
(1) Blockchain is a kind of "comprehensive science";
(2) Variation of the scientific genes of the blockchain;
(3) "Conjecture" of the scientific evolution model of the blockchain;
(4) Interaction between blockchain science and humanities;
(5) The relationship between blockchain science and blockchain technology;
(6) Blockchain is likely to bring about a "paradigm revolution" in the scientific field.
1. Blockchain is a "comprehensive science"
Blockchain is a "comprehensive science" that involves many disciplines and achieves interdisciplinary cross-cutting. We now know at least that blockchain is closely related to scientific disciplines such as cryptography, mathematics, quantum science, and computer science.
In the figure below, I have made a lot of squares, some of which are filled in the corresponding disciplines, and some are still blank. This means that now we should not and cannot think that we know all the scientific disciplines that underpin the blockchain. The disciplines related to blockchain are not exhaustive, and there are likely to be disciplines that have not yet been discovered. Moreover, there is the possibility of extension in every discipline, such as blockchain and topology may have an innate connection.
2.Blockchain science gene mutation
We now see that there are obviously three possibilities for the scientific genetic mutation of the blockchain.
The first is the genetic variation of the blockchain caused by the evolution of blockchain science itself.
The second is the "intrusion" of the blockchain system from other sciences outside the blockchain system, such as quantum computing. On November 30, I hosted a seminar at South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, entitled "Quantum Computing and Blockchain." The symposium formed a common view that quantum science will have an impact on the blockchain, and the result of this impact may be the generation of "quantum blockchain", at least a conjecture. We can see the connection between quantum mechanics, quantum computing and blockchain, and the possibility of combining quantum science and blockchain.
The third is the variation of the blockchain caused by the reaction of new technologies. For example, 5G, 6G, space technology, etc., may have a considerable impact and change on the blockchain system we understand.
3. The "conjecture" of the blockchain scientific evolution model
Regarding the evolution model of blockchain science, I put forward four conjectures.
The first conjecture is called concentric circle epitaxy. This conjecture was proposed by Mr. Zhang Hongwei, Dean of the Yangtze River Delta Branch of the Digital Asset Research Institute, and understood the currently known blockchain as a fairly mature system, which continued to expand outward in the development process.
In addition, I think there are three other evolution models, namely the iterative upgrade model, the mainstream blockchain split model, and the discrete model. The iterative upgrade model is a mainstream discourse, such as the universal blockchain 1.0 and 2.0 dissertation. In addition, there are mainstream blockchain split models. The more potential evolution model is the blockchain discrete model.
Today's understanding of the blockchain and the scientific foundation that underpins it is likely to be only part of the future blockchain system. It is unknown whether there is a direct relationship between them. But in general, the blockchain should be understood as an open, iterative system. It can be called a conjecture on the scientific evolution model of blockchain. Without conjecture, there is no science.
4.Interaction between blockchain science and humanities
We can clearly see the frequent and close interaction between the current blockchain science and the humanities.
Blockchain not only has an impact on economics, finance, currency, and accounting, but is also subverting and changing the original economics and monetary architecture system; the impact of blockchain on law is severe, and the impact on legal practice is also irresistible Underestimation; Blockchain has also had a profound impact on sociology and politics, including social governance theory and social organization theory; Blockchain is also comparable to post-human society, especially Cyborgized human society Deep connection; of course, no one can deny the impact of blockchain on traditional philosophy. For example, "what is existence", blockchain science has changed people's understanding of existence. Because of the blockchain, "existentialism", which was once extremely influential, must be redefined.
5.The relationship between blockchain science and blockchain technology
What is the relationship between blockchain science and blockchain technology?
I think it is a mapping relationship. Blockchain science is a comprehensive scientific system, and blockchain technology is a technology cluster. The expansion of the scientific foundation of the blockchain can support the expansion of the blockchain technology cluster, and the expansion of the blockchain technology cluster will in turn force the deepening of its science and technology.
If we simply understand blockchain science and blockchain technology as the relationship between A and B, we will find that there is indeed a one-to-one correspondence and relationship between each other.
6.Blockchain is likely to bring a "paradigm revolution" in the scientific field
Paradigm is the most creative and controversial scientific philosophy proposition of the 20th century. Thomas Sammual Kuhn proposed the "paradigm revolution in science", but he did not clearly understand and explain what the "paradigm revolution" was. He proposed 21 interpretations, but the "paradigm" gradually disappeared in the post-Kuhn era, and people's fascination with the paradigm entered a low tide.
But now we can see that the blockchain is likely to activate the "paradigm" vitality. Because blockchain as a structure and system does have the basic elements of a "paradigm": beliefs, methods, theories, models, applications, software and hardware, and the scientific community.
This is something Kuhn couldn't do before he died. If he lives today, he must be excited about it.
7.Open source, open, independent, global Blockchain Academy of Sciences
Blockchain is not only technology, but science.
Based on this premise, in order to better study the basic scientific characteristics of the blockchain and promote the application of blockchain technology, we consider it very necessary and propose to initiate the establishment of the Blockchain Academy of Sciences. The Blockchain Academy of Sciences is an open-source, open, independent, and global science institute. Therefore, here today, we are advocating the promotion and advocacy of the establishment of the Blockchain Academy of Sciences, hoping that more people can participate in the co-construction of the Blockchain Academy of Sciences, so that it can develop and enhance the breadth and depth of global blockchain technology awareness.

The holiday season is upon us, beginning with Halloween this weekend. While it is fun to get dressed up and go out, the underlying thread to our social activities is that we are relationship people. It is a good thing to catch up with friends and family, to reconnect and keep relationships fresh.
Even though there are sometimes gift giving to charities and those close to us, as a gesture of goodwill or expression of love, hosting and having guests in the home can be overlooked.
Before the menus or shopping kicks in, let's take a look at making guests comfortable.
People are visual, give the home a bit of a lift by placing a few decorations around the home to give it a festive touch. Depending on the event suitable decorations give a sense of ambience. A cosy throw, if the weather is cool and a few scatter cushions can add sophistication or a homely feel, depending on the atmosphere that is desired.
Music that is softly played in the background fills that quiet dead zone when people start arriving. Either a radio channel that is set on Jazz or a personal collection of music is fine. The only rules are to keep the music suitable to peoples taste, suitable to the event and keep it in the background, unless the dance floor style party is the theme.
A bar or designated drinks area is an excellent touch. Ice is a nice touch and should be organised before the event. Especially if the freezer isn't huge keeping ice going can be a challenge. A clean 2 or 4 litre ice cream container could hold ice cubes or a cooler/esky might be of use for an evening. The amount of ice needed depends on the number of guests. The key to pulling of a successful bar is to offer a couple of bowls with slices fruit, such as lemons or strawberries, to be added to drinks if so desired. It is best to stick to fruits that won't brown after a couple of hours.
Enough seating for entertaining could include sofas, chairs and ottomans but even benches and floor cushions add extra comfort. Choosing what suits your tastes and space will equal comfort and success.
Lighting comes down to personal choice. There is no denying it, it adds to ambience plus the lighting chosen for the occasion can reflect personal taste. Lighting chosen correctly will prevent the event from feeling cookie cutter by providing a designer edge. If using colour keep the lighting colours matching to the colour scheme of the occasion.
Long term guests are usually organised in advance. An overnight guest can be an oversight. Several reasons could bring about this situation such as weather or feeling unwell. Having clean linen, spare bedding and a pillow on hand is a lovely touch.

School Employees Union Shows School Boards the Whip
November 20, 2008 | Font size: 75% 100% 125% 150%
(Note: The following is an edited version of a blog entry on the Students for a Free Economy Web site. SFE is a nonpartisan campus outreach project of the Mackinac Center that promotes the benefits of free markets, civil society and individual liberty.)
In a recent Mackinac Center Current Comment, Us vs. Them: The People and the Political Class, I argued that true representative government has been supplanted by a self-serving, self-perpetuating political/government class and that as a result, the government has escaped the control of the people.
Alarmist? Extreme? Consider this news item: The Michigan Education Association teachers union is involved in a recall campaign against two members of the Wayne-Westland school board following an illegal MEA-inspired strike against the district in October. Among other things, the union held a recall training session at its local headquarters.
The October strike was at root over whether MESSA, the MEA's money machine, would get the district's health insurance loot, or whether school employees would obtain essentially the same coverage from an actual insurer at lesser cost. The Michigan Education Special Services Association is a third-party administrator that outsources insurance underwriting to Blue Cross Blue Shield, then resells the policies to schools.
Making MESSA a bargaining issue is itself prohibited by state law, but set that aside. The deeper meaning of this recall is that a group of secure and well-compensated public employees and their union is using resources that at root are provided by taxpayers to fire the district's managers, who were selected by voters to be the stewards of their school and tax money.
This is not just a cynical manipulation of the political system, it's a perversion of the very concept of democracy. If the union's recall is successful and becomes a common tactic, then we are not just approaching the tipping point where the government class amasses such power and resources that efforts to dislodge them become futile — we will have passed it.
Here's an analogy. Imagine that some residents of Wayne-Westland pooled their money and started a restaurant. They hired a manager, who hired cooks and waiters. Over time the waiters became surly, the food mediocre and the costs excessive. The manager cracked down, and in response the employees fired him.
Whoops — employees don't hire and fire managers. That's the owners' prerogative. Apparently not when it comes to the management of an even more important institution, our school system. Not anymore, that is, if the MEA is successful.
Given the union's deep pockets and rippling political muscles, the recall may well succeed. On Nov. 4 four members of the Reed City school board were recalled after angering the union by voting to privatize food and custodial services. That outsourcing will save the district taxpayers some $300,000 a year, or about $200 per student, as reported by the Education Action Group. (Incidentally, privatization decisions are another prohibited bargaining area, but the House has passed a bill to repeal that.)
Of course, the union will argue that the final recall decision is in voters' hands, so there is no corruption of the democratic process. Sure — the same way a 95-pound weakling going into the ring against the heavyweight boxing champion is a fair fight. Most school board members are political amateurs with little campaign savvy or ability to raise money — their adversary here is exactly the opposite.
Motivated and empowered by its concentrated benefits, the MEA already has outsized advantages over the dispersed interests of taxpayers in regular school board elections. These recalls are showing the whip to school board members who have been mugged by the fiscal realities of the job, reminding them to always place the interests of unions ahead of the interests of taxpayers.

Makers for Inclusion is a project that aims to empower disadvantaged groups in the Ravel neighbourhood of Barcelona by teaching them digital manufacturing skills.
In Barcelona and across Europe, debates around new technologies and their potential benefits are not always inclusive. Despite an increasing wave of initiatives aiming to bring technology, and specifically digital manufacturing closer to citizens, the benefits of these movements are not distributed uniformly across different socioeconomic groups. It often that low income neighbourhoods with a high rate of social and economic exclusion are the last to reap the benefits of such programmes. The gap between the creative, innovative side of Barcelona and the digitally excluded side is expanding.
Makers for Inclusion aims to tackle this gap in the Raval neighbourhood (one of the most vulnerable neighbourhoods in Barcelona), where Colectic has been working at a community level since the start of the project. Makers for inclusion is a programme targeted at vulnerable groups at risk of exclusion, such as children and young people, women, families as well as community leaders, non-profit organisations and social education professionals.
They work on raising awareness of digital manufacturing within communities through running information sessions and on improving practical skills through their open skills workshops and activities.

Call Me Troy
Profiling the life and times of one of the gay community's most visible and tenacious advocates for change, Rev. Troy Perry, Call Me Troy is a truly inspirational story about a remarkable and dynamic individual whose activism was decades ahead of its time.
Rev. Perry is perhaps best known as the founder of the Metropolitan Community Church - the first church to recognize the spiritual needs of the gay community - but his "firsts" don't stop there. He was the first openly gay person to serve on the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations. In 1969, Perry performed the first public same-sex wedding in the U.S., and in 1970 he filed the first-ever lawsuit seeking legal recognition for same-gender marriages.
From presidential advisor to outspoken advocate, Perry has been on the front lines leading the charge for equal rights and protections for gay men and lesbians the world over as well as providing a place for all people, gay and straight, to worship side by side. This film celebrates his life and his legacy.

The Secret to Writing Faster and with More Focus -- Writing in Your Sleep!
Then forget about it! That's right. Move on with your life and consciously think about something else. Revise another project. Read something for education or pleasure.
The incubation time varies according to your creative personality and of course the size of the project at hand. I've found a few days usually works best although even giving myself a few hours can be beneficial. Doing something physical is often helpful during the incubation period and sometimes this is the only time I really get my gardening or housework accomplished!
When I am working on a novel I allow my subconscious to work scene by scene through the book and often when I sit down at the computer I find the words just flow throw me as the scene plays itself in my head almost like a movie. I have heard of several authors who are able to program their dreams so they are literally writing in their sleep. Dreams can be as vivid as a painting, as resonant as music, and as symbolic as poetry. Using this method I can often write a scene a day (sometimes in less than an hour) which is fairly decent progress while simultaneously working full-time and maintaining a life.
The same is true for great athletes. They talk about being in the zone. The zone is simply the place where they can act and react without consciously thinking about what needs to be done. The body and unconscious mind handle all the details. Thinking too hard can actually interfere with the zone and this is true of writing as well. Interestingly, a recent study of professional and amateur golfers showed that the amateur golfers had significantly more conscious activity when playing a shot than did the professionals. I would bet something similar would result if experienced and novice writers were studied.
So give unconscious creativity a try and see how far it takes you. Simply program your subconscious and then leave it alone to incubate for a while. It may take some time to find the method of tapping into your subconscious after your incubation period. For some freewriting or journaling serve to unlock the fruits of your unconscious labor. Usually, I sit myself down and begin the task at hand. It is often slow-going at first but I force myself forward and at some point my subconscious kicks in and the words start flowing and the keyboard starts clicking away.

«Дорога до країни Оз» () — опублікована 10 липня 1909 року п'ята книга американського письменника Лаймена Френка Баума із серії казок про Країну Оз, описує п'яту подорож Дороті Гейл до Країни Оз. Книгу присвячено Джосліну Стентону Бауму, першому онукові автора, дитині старшого сина автора.

Повноколірні ілюстрації для книги зробив художник Джон Р. Ніл.

Сюжет
Дороті перебувала поблизу свого будинку в Канзасі, коли почалася історія оповіді. До неї підійшов якийсь незвичайний кудлатий чоловік і попросив, щоб вона показала дорогу на Баттерфілд. Дороті добре придивилася до цього дивного чоловіка. Незнайомець хоч і виглядав дуже обірваним і скуйовдженим, проте в його очах горіли пустотливі вогники, тому він здався Дороті дуже симпатичним. Волоцюгу звали Косматий чоловічок, і у нього в кишені був магніт любові, що має магічну властивість приваблювати до його власника всіх живих істот. Дороті стала показувати дорогу, однак, дійшовши разом з кудлатим до перехрестя з семи доріг, забула, по якій дорозі вони прийшли, і заблукала. Вибравши навмання одну з доріг, Дороті, Косматий чоловічок і Тото вирушили в дорогу. Незабаром до них приєднався Ґудзик-Розумник — маленький хлопчик, який завжди губився. Пізніше друзі зустріли також Поліхромію, дочку Веселки, феї, яка впала з веселки, коли танцювала на її краю. В дорозі їх упіймав спочатку народ лисиць (до зустрічі з Поліхромією), а потім народ ослів (після), і їх виручив тільки магніт любові. На жаль, виявилося, що Правителі лисиць і ослів зачарували Ґудзика-Розумника і Косматого чоловічка відповідно, оскільки вважали їх занадто геніальними для людей. Потім вони зустріли людину, з якої під час дихання долинали звуки органу. Трохи пізніше вони врятувалися від Стрибалсів, і на їхньому шляху постала пустеля, що оточувала країну Оз, і тут на допомогу прийшов Джоні-Умілець. Він спорудив корабель, який міг їздити пустелею, і подорожні опинилися в країні Оз. Ґудзик-Розумник і Косматий чоловічок скупалися в ставку істини і знову стали колишніми. Дороті знову зустрілася з друзями. Виявилося, що у принцеси Озми був день народження, і вона спеціально заплутала дороги, щоб Дороті потрапила до неї.

Conservation Groups Appeal PolyMet Permits and State Mining Rules
Acid mine drainage from underground mining of copper and other metals in a Canadian stream
By John LaForge
I want to share the Dec. 3 announcement from eight conservation and clean water groups of their appeal of Minnesota State permits issued for the PolyMet open-pit sulfide mine in northern Minnesota. The groups are challenging the permits issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that would allow PolyMet to operate a 528-acre copper-nickel mine and to appropriate 6-billion gallons of fresh water per year. In addition to the permit appeals, a separate filing asks the Minnesota Court of Appeals to overturn Minnesota's non-ferrous mining rules, saying they are too vague to be adequately enforced by courts and regulatory agencies.
"The courts must hold the DNR accountable to the law or PolyMet's permits will be a blank check, paid for by the clean water, health, and pocketbooks of Minnesotans," stated Kathryn Hoffman, chief executive officer of the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy.
The department ignored tens of thousands of Minnesotans who asked it to protect people and the environment from PolyMet's proposed mine. The permits for PolyMet's proposed mine do not protect people downstream from the pollution the mine would create. The department arbitrarily rejected less risky alternatives for managing mine waste. The permits: allow PolyMet to threaten water downstream for hundreds of years after mining ends; fail to address concerns of engineers who fear the mine's proposed waste dam is dangerous; and fail to protect Minnesota taxpayers from being stuck with up to $1 billion in cleanup costs.
"Taxpayers fund Minnesota DNR believing the agency will responsibly manage our natural resources," said Chris Knopf, executive director of Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. "With PolyMet, they put mining interests first and gave judicial review, popular opinion, and environmental considerations the back seat."
The state permits also fail to define how long PolyMet will be allowed to mine or describe PolyMet's exact mining and mine closure plans. Minnesota rules require final design plans to be submitted before permits are issued, but the state agency's permits allow PolyMet to develop the open-pit mine and submit plans for closure later. The permits do not establish any standards for the approval of these future plans and the public will not be able to comment on them.
Myth of Strong Minnesota Regulations
"There is a myth in Minnesota that we have tough regulators. It's just the opposite," stated Paula Maccabee, advocacy director and counsel for WaterLegacy. "The DNR has granted PolyMet a permit to mine admitting that its 'design and operational details' are not 'firmly in place.' At the very least, with Minnesota's first proposed sulfide mine, we should demand that no permits be issued unless and until PolyMet shows us — and an unbiased administrative judge — that they know what they're doing." WaterLegacy in 2015 petitioned the US EPA urging suspension of DNR and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) oversight authority, arguing that mining interests have undue influence in setting and enforcing water quality standards, and that the state legislature has deprived the MPCA of legal authority to implement the Clean Water Act. The petition is pending.
The new appeals also challenge the Minnesota state agency's decision to deny requests for a "contested case hearing." Such a hearing allows the case to be reviewed by a neutral administrative law judge, which is common for large, complex projects. The eight groups argue that the DNR was required to grant a contested case hearing before it issued any permits. "With over 1,300 signatures and a majority of elected officials, Duluthians openly requested a contested case hearing on this permit," said J.T. Haines, an attorney and organizer with Duluth for Clean Water.
"That hearing should have been ordered. The process fails all the time with sulfide mining, and we don't want to be the next example of communities harmed by downstream pollution," Haines said.
"It's reckless for the state to allow an open-pit copper mine at the precious headwaters of Lake Superior," said Marc Fink, a Duluth attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity. "State officials are abdicating their responsibility to protect public health and the environment. They're moving forward with unproven, incomplete mine plans even though they know PolyMet would destroy thousands of acres of wetlands and require water treatment for generations to come."
December's appeals are in addition to separate requests the groups made to the DNR and the MPCA in November. The groups asked the agencies suspend all permits for PolyMet until the Minnesota Court of Appeals rules on whether the DNR should prepare an environmental impact statement for the vastly larger versions of the proposed copper mine that PolyMet has described to its investors.
The groups appealing the permits are CENTER for BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, DULUTH for CLEAN WATER, FRIENDS of the BOUNDARY WATERS WILDERNESS, FRIENDS of the CLOQUET VALLEY STATE FOREST, MINNESOTA CENTER for ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY, SAVE LAKE SUPERIOR ASSOCIATION, SAVE OUR SKY BLUE WATERS, and WATERLEGACY.

Mining Industry Repealing Wisconsin Anti-Pollution Laws
By Kelly Lundeen
On November 8, Wisconsin lawmakers repealed the state's "Prove-It-First" sulfide mining statute and sent it to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature. The law allowed for a mine to be licensed if its proponents could demonstrate that a similar mine had operated for 10 years and been closed for 10 years without causing acid mine drainage or polluting water. Since the requirement was never met, the statute has protected Wisconsin waters from sulfide mines since 1998. But beginning in 2013, Gov. Walker and Koch brothers-funded mining industry backers made repeal of the moratorium a top priority. Meanwhile, Republican Rep's Jesse Kremer of Kewaskum, Rep. Cody Horlacher of Mukwonago, and Sen. Duey Stroebel of Saukville introduced bills to repeal state laws limiting air and water pollution not regulated under federal law.
A coalition of indigenous, environmental, and sports organizations mobilized to protect "Prove it first." Over 20 years ago, many of the same groups had united around opposition to the metallic sulfide mining at Flambeau and Crandon, and saw the successful passage of the moratorium.
Back in the late '90s, both current Nukewatch staffers, John LaForge and I, were independently active in the anti-pollution struggle. For me, collecting postcards to support the Mining Moratorium and protesting the Crandon Mine was an early introduction to environmentalism as a geology student at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire; and for John it meant organizing nonviolent action with Flambeau mine opponents from across the state.
Exxon's Crandon mine proposal was stopped and the mine site sold to the Mole Lake Ojibway and the Forest County Potawatomi. The Flambeau Mine came and went, and the closed mine site has never been fully reclaimed after 20 years even though tailings were shipped off site. The Flambeau copper/gold operation was one of the major tools used by both sides of the moratorium repeal debate. Mining advocates claimed falsely that the site had been cleaned up, while opponents referred to the company's own records to prove the site is polluting Stream 3, which feeds the Flambeau River. Flambeau mine site owners have never secured a mine reclamation "Certificate of Completion" due to the pollution—proven by 45 violations of water quality standards documented in a report by the Flambeau Mining Co. itself (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto). Unfortunately, industry-manufactured lies that "the Flambeau River remains fully protected" have dominated public discussion of the repeal.
At the state's legislative hearings to repeal the moratorium, Nukewatch members and supporters joined dozens of others to testify. We gathered with our local network and used presentations, letters to the editor, and protest to educate the public and Assembly representatives.
"After hearing this," said State Representative Romaine Quinn who attended a Nukewatch-organized presentation by Dr. Laura Gauger, "no, I don't find myself supporting the mining bill." However, Quinn voted for repeal.
Prior to the repeal bill's passage, the author, Sen. "Toxic" Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, said, "exploratory companies tell me they are back in play (in Wisconsin) if we change the law." Tiffany predicted that the bill could prompt companies to start early exploration work for copper, zinc, gold and silver as early as 2018.

Presents Wrapped-up for Polluters & Arms Dealers
Federal Christmas presents are being lavished on toxic polluters, arms merchants, billionaires, and their Congressional lap dogs, while, as Zappa said, the meek shall inherit nothing.
As if pollution and graft made the country great, the Trump administration, with help from liberal Democrats, has been on a regulation-cancelling rampage, repealing rules on environmental protection, health care, financial services, and even internet accessibility. As of Dec. 15, Mr. Trump's government-by-industrialists had revoked 67 rules, withdrawn 635 planned regulations, declared 244 rules "inactive," and "delayed" 700 others.
Here at home, Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Crosby, managed to giftwrap for a foreign mining company the cancellation of an environmental study of mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The US Forest Service had been examining environmental risks of several large mining proposals near the BWCA.
The giant Antofagasta Corporation from Chile wants to dig a massive underground copper mine southeast of Ely near the Kawishiwi River which flows directly into and through the protected boundary waters. If the study had a chance of finding little risk of permanent mine pollution, Nolan and the billionaire Chileans would have allowed it to proceed. But copper mines always wreck surface and groundwater, so mine proponents zeroed out the study, and, voila, its absence makes the plan look clean as hell.
Nolan and Rep. Tom Emmer also handed copper interests the repeal of a temporary ban on mining near the cherished wilderness. In related pollutionism, Congress also revoked a law that penalized coal mining for destroying area streams.
Budget Cuts for the Least of These
Meanwhile, the Republicans' October budget provides nuclear weapons systems with hundreds of billions, while gouging $1 trillion from Medicaid and nearly $500 billion from Medicare. The government intends to spend about $40 billion every year for nine years on nuclear weapons programs, according to the Congressional Budget Office's report "Projected Costs of US Nuclear Forces, 2017 to 2026." Plans put forward by the Pentagon and the Energy Department would cost $400 billion over this period.
Of the $400 billion, the CBO estimates that Congress will approve $189 billion for new long-range jet bombers, long-range land-based missiles, and ballistic missile submarines; $9 billion for new short-range nuclear bombs and missiles; $87 billion for national laboratories that design and produce the new warheads, missiles and bombs; and $58 billion for nuclear war communications and warning systems. The remaining $56 billion of the $400 billion estimate is the CBO's idea of likely cost overruns.
These estimates include the projected costs of new weapons that aren't yet approved. Funds for a new long-range, land-based missile to replace today's 450 have not been appropriated (and high-ranking military and civilian authorities have publicly attacked the plan saying they should be abolished, not replaced). The Long-range Stand Off missile — a nuclear-armed Cruise missile — has also been called unnecessary and destabilizing by former Secretaries of Defense and other experts. Still, both systems are expected by the CBO to see development take off in the coming years.
Senate Finance Committee Chair: "We don't have money anymore"
While debating the Republican's $1.5 trillion tax cut, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-UT, spoke about the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) which needs $15 billion (its appropriation expired last Oct. 1). CHIP subsidizes exams, doctor visits, prescriptions and other health care for children in 9 million low-income families across the country.
Hatch actually said: "[L]et me tell you something: … the reason CHIP's having trouble is because we don't have money anymore." As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Mr. Hatch just gave away 100 times the CHIP budget in a tax cut that aids high-income industrialists.
Navy submarines that fire long-range nuclear weapons are called Trident subs and the military wants to replace them all. The CBO report says that about $90 billion over 10 years should cover the cost of two new subs and plans for a third.
With Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles or ICBMs, the plan was to spend $43 billion over 10 years to make changes to the current missiles. But with plans for an all-new missile, former Sec. of Defense William Perry has said it will cost $100 billion.
An all-new long-range heavy jet bomber (sometimes alarmingly dubbed the "China bomber") may cost $43 billion over 10 years. But then since "we don't have money anymore," the program may have to be renamed "Medicaid" or "Medicare" so that its budget can be trimmed. — John LaForge

Minnesota Must Stop Ignoring State & Federal Mining Laws
Acid mine drainage from an abandoned gold mining site in Kantishna Mining District, Denali National Park, Alaska.
Governor Mark Dayton told the St. Paul Pioneer in October that he supports the PolyMet copper sulfide mining proposal, "But they still have to meet the environmental permitting requirements."
The governor's qualified endorsement of the controversial PolyMet mining plan raises the question of which environmental requirements have to be met.
Chris Knopf, of Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, makes two crucial points in a Nov. 13 counterpoint in the Mpls StarTrib, "How the proposed PolyMet mine project would violate Minnesota regulations." First, state law requires PolyMet to "permanently prevent substantially all water from moving through or over the mine waste," after mine closure. But PolyMet's plan is to leave mine waste in contact with water for hundreds of years. Second, PolyMet's and the DNR's own data, based on rock samples from the proposed site, project the amount of toxic heavy metals to be expected in the contaminated water after mine closure. But this research was set aside and ignored, while irrelevant data from a Yukon Territory mine was substituted — in order to minimize the amount of expected contamination. Tellingly, that mine's water quality continues to deteriorate, yet state officials have allowed this dubious data switch to go unchallenged.
PolyMet's plans, as outlined in its 2016 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), also appear to violate the federal Clean Water Act. Section 404 governing discharges into US waterways requires mining firms to use the "least environmentally damaging practicable alternative," but this would mean underground extraction rather than open pits, and "dry stack tailings" of fine particle mine waste rather than PolyMet's plan to dump slurry into unlined seepage ponds. Dry stacking is far less environmentally damaging since it doesn't threaten groundwater contamination, but Paula Maccabee, an attorney for WaterLegacy, explains that PolyMet's chose the cheaper options, not the least damaging, without adequate .
Maccabee submitted 80 pages of expert comment on the FEIS and she noted that the Clean Water Act also requires that PolyMet to make written guarantees regarding if and when company-funded cleanup programs will be conducted to fix unplanned "adverse impacts."
Financial assurances and long-term guarantees
In October 2015, Governor Dayton said he wanted to hire an independent analysis of the financing behind the PolyMet Mining Corp. and its foreign owner, Glencore of Switzerland. Patrick Condon reported in the StarTribune that Dayton had "concerns" about Glencore whose environmental record was "mixed." "That's why I think the financial assurance part would be essential."
That November Dayton followed up on his concerns, saying that if the giant mine was eventually permitted, Minnesota should demand "a rigorous system of community oversight," like the one required of Upper Michigan's Eagle mine which he visited that fall. The StarTribune's Tony Kennedy reported that Dayton "was impressed by Michigan's decision to require the [Eagle] mine's owner to pay $300,000 annually into an independent oversight fund."
As I reported here earlier, Michigan's Eagle mine is 100 times smaller than the proposed PolyMet open pit. Dayton's suggestion that Minnesota "should demand the same as Michigan," means that PolyMet Mining Corp./Glencore should be required to pony up $30 million annually for independent, long-term ground water and surface water monitoring. If mine promoters like US Representative Rick Nolan, D-MN, are correct to predict that giant, open-pit sulfide deposits can be mined using "technological innovations that can mitigate mining's environmental footprint" like acid mine drainage, then PolyMet/Glencore must guarantee it up front with legally binding agreements.
PolyMet's own waste water modeling data initially stated that potential acid mine drainage would be a 500-year-long problem, so the water monitoring guarantee needs to amount to a guaranteed bond of $15 billion in today's dollars.
Enter Phyllis Kahn, the long-time member of the Minnesota House. Kahn has raised the issue of paying for cleanup after the mine closes or following a pollution disaster. In a Nov. 14 letter to the StarTrib, Kahn points out that, historically "throughout the country," after mine closure or a major mishap "the company goes belly up and the bank or financial institution backing it goes bankrupt." To protect Minnesota's water against this financial corruption, Kahn recommends that the state "require a bond issued by a reputable institution like Lloyd's of London," noting that the insurer's refusal to offer a policy "or proposal of an unmeetabe rate" would speak volumes about the likelihood, severity and costs of the mine's inevitable disasters. — John LaForge

Poly-Met's 500-Year Copper Nickle Pollution
The answer man Donald Trump said August 8 that halting all new federal regulations will create jobs. Notwithstanding the jobs created by implementing new regulations, Trump's proposal has already been tried by the State of Minnesota, in a retroactive way, with consequences that are predictably toxic to water.
In 2015, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) was forced to abandon its duty to protect state waters from mining runoff after the Legislature passed bills that "essentially exempted taconite mining" operations from complying with the 40-year-old sulfate standard for waters with wild rice — as Mordecai Specktor reports in the August 2016 issue of The Circle.
Paula Maccabee, advocacy director and chief counsel of the non-profit group Water Legacy, interviewed by Specktor, said the 2015 law that instructed the MPCA not to enforce the sulfate pollution standard "was the straw that broke the camel's back." Water Legacy then petitioned the US Environmental Protection Agency over the State Legislature's and the MPCA's "failure to respect the [US] Clean Water act and to enforce laws limiting mine pollution."
Maccabee tole me in an email Aug. 8 "We consider the EPA's protocol and the EPA's many letters and requests for information from Minnesota agencies to function as replies to WaterLegacy's petition to remove Minnesota state agencies" from oversight of mining operations."
EPA staff are still in the process of conducting an in-depth investigation, so they have neither reached conclusions regarding their potential findings nor communicated them either to WaterLegacy or to MPCA. … I expect that both WaterLegacy and the MPCA will be given an opportunity to comment when EPA has reached the point of preparing draft findings resulting from its investigation.
"I believe it is likely that the MN attorney general will respond to EPA's questions by August 12, since the AG hasn't requested an additional extension of time.
PolyMet's early pollution projections admitted that acid mine drainage – which permanently destroys surface water systems — from its proposed sulfide mine near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness would be a serious problem for over 500 years. Consequently, PolyMet must be legally required to monitor for and clean up acid mine drainage for 500 years.
A 500-year cleanup mandate must also be applied to all future follow-on companies that will replace what's now called "PolyMet." Changing the name of mining companies is an age-old method of avoiding legal liability. PolyMet's promises of clean copper-sulfide mining must be backed up with permanent guarantees for monitoring, and waste disposal, cleanup and reclamation no matter what subsequent PolyMet knockoff companies might be named.
Of course such a mandate has never been imposed on a mine project and would probably kill the proposal if imposed. This is why the embarrassing 500-year pollution warning has been buried by PolyMet and never appeared in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Nov. 6, 2015.
Instead, the company and DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr use the term "indefinitely." How can PolyMet be forced to prevent pollution "indefinitely"?
This is because PolyMet's promises are really hot air, and Minnesota's reputation at a good environmental steward is actually a myth that has never applied to Minnesota mining practices.
• Why has there been no independent water modeling required in the environmental review process? Critics point out that all the data and analysis of how much polluted water could drain from the mine site and the tailings site has come from PolyMet.
• As Water Legacy notes, "Across the country, there is no example where a sulfide mine has been operated and closed without polluting surface and/or groundwater with acid mine drainage, sulfuric acid and/or toxic metals." Why has PolyMet been allowed to submit a shabbily supported environmental review based on unsubstantiated claims and faulty data?
• The FEIS concludes that it's "unlikely" acid mine drainage will move north into the pristine Boundary Waters Wilderness, but that if the permanent pollution does flow north (permanently), PolyMet will "fill cracks in the bedrock." Why is the potential devastation of the Boundary Waters, an otherwise highly-protected national wilderness treasured because of its lack of pollution, allowed to be brushed off with such fatuous gibberish?
I'm sure I'm not the first person to howl at that concept of "filling cracks in the bedrock." The idea sounds like bovine excrement, or like the unworkable "ice wall" being built in Japan to slow groundwater flowing through Fukushima's three melted reactors.

Intel has recently announced its 49-qubit superconducting quantum chip. Aptly named Tangle Lake – after a chain of lakes in Alaska and alluding to the very cold temperatures required for superconducting qubits to operate – it builds on their 17-qubit superconducting chip, released only a few months earlier.
At such a pace and with significant investment into the sector, quantum computers are quickly becoming a reality. Every major player in the tech space is now part of the race to build the first super computer.
So, what are the most popular approaches to building physical qubits?
It is widely recognised that quantum computing is the future of information technology and its prominence is becoming more apparent every year. In 2016, the European Commission has announced a flagship initiative to invest one billion euros into quantum technologies from 2018, which is nearly double its cumulative investments into the sector over the past 20 years.
There have also been a number of notable recent investments coming from the private sector. Intel has invested $50 million into QuTech – a Netherlands-based advanced research facility for quantum computing and quantum internet. Google has partnered with Nasa and the Universities Space Research Association to research the possible applications of quantum computing.
The industry is evolving fast. These and other tech behemoths like IBM, Microsoft, Bell Labs are now running quantum research labs in-house. A wealth of smaller companies has also sprung up, specialising in different areas of the quantum stack – from physical qubits and hardware to software architecture and quantum applications.
The near-term goal is to reach what has been dubbed as quantum supremacy – a state where a quantum computer is able to perform well-defined computational tasks beyond the capabilities of the best modern classical computers. This threshold is pegged at 50 fully functional qubits (based on the work of John Preskill, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech).
In other words, qubits that are entangled, in superposition and interacting with each other in a carefully choreographed manner. I have already covered the basics of quantum computing theory in my previous blogs (see Cat, Bits and Quantum Computers, Detangling Quantum Entanglement, and Getting Physical: Bits and Quantum Error Correction) but here's a quick refresher.
Qubits operate through the principle of quantum interference, which treats all elementary particles as waves and allows us to measure the interaction between them. The resulting amplitude of this interaction is the probabilistic number of one state or another occurring. Except unlike probabilities, amplitudes can be positive, negative and even complex numbers, and can interfere destructively to cancel each other out.
To successfully operate a quantum computer, we need to be able to manipulate the patterns of this interference through a quantum algorithm, maintaining the fragile quantum state of the physical qubits and correcting for any errors without prematurely observing the answer. Only under these conditions can a meaningful solution be derived and the benefits of a quantum over classical computer become apparent, as explained in the Implications of the Quantum Revolution.
A number of other approaches are also being investigated. For example, Intel is looking at silicone dots, which is similar to superconducting circuits. D-Wave has developed a 2000 qubit system, which provides a measurable increase in processing speed over classical computers but only addresses a limited class of optimisation problems.
It's hard to say which approach will reach quantum supremacy first. One thing is clear though – quantum is the future of computing.

Nancy Hanks papers, 1894-1987 (bulk 1945-1983)
77.3 Linear Feet — 58,000 Items
The papers of Nancy Hanks span the years 1894-1987 with the bulk occurring during the 1940s to 1983. Included are correspondence; minutes; reports; typed, mimeographed, and printed material; financial papers; clippings; mail logs; telephone records; calendars; office files; interviews, questionnaires; and diaries. In addition there are scrapbooks, pictures, photograph albums, slides, audio cassettes, videocassettes, and electronic documents. One series contains awards, honorary degrees, and memorabilia.
The Nancy Hanks collection is useful as a study of the development of private and governmental arts programs, in particular through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the personal life and career (1950s-1970s) of an upper-class single woman. Arts and the federal government is a recurrent theme. The collection also contains information about a variety of arts organizations in which Hanks was involved, often as a board member. Although the papers here document both her personal and professional life and present a balanced account, there are relatively few professional papers in the collection concerning her early career, 1951-1968.
The private life of Nancy Hanks is chiefly documented in the Personal Series. Although there are no diaries in the collection, the letters she wrote to her parents from the 1940s through the 1970s form a type of diary. This correspondence in the Personal Series often contains a detailed accounting of daily events from her college years at Duke University, where she majored in political science, and her early career in Washington, D.C., through the NEA years. Letters from her parents reveal their influence on her and often note their advice to her. Other correspondence is from friends, some during World War II, including extensive correspondence from 1946 to 1949 with William A. Carpenter, a former college friend. Other correspondents were Louis E. Reid, 1955-1961; John F. Watkins, 1949-1950; and Duke University Dean of Chapel James T. Cleland, 1949-1969. The financial papers in that series reveal her wealth, such as in real estate and stocks, as well as her long illness. There are gaps in the tax returns and bank statements from 1966-1975 and after 1979.
The Duke University, Bryan and Virginia Hanks, Larry Hanks, and Pictures Series all complete the story. In the Duke University Series, Hanks' financial contributions to the university are documented, including the Hanks Family Endowment Fund and the Hanks Family Chapel Fund.
The Bryan and Virginia Hanks Series and Larry Hanks Series contain records of Hanks' parents, Bryan Cayce Hanks, Virginia Wooding Hanks, and brother Lawrence (Larry) Wooding Hanks. Included in the Bryan and Virginia Hanks Series are late-nineteenth century documents, letters of Hanks' father from France during World War I and from a Colorado sanatarium, 1931-1932, as well as their courtship letters. Bryan Hanks was a lawyer in New York, Miami, and Fort Worth, and became president of Florida Power and Light Company in 1937. Also there is some Hanks and Wooding families history, including a few papers of Benjamin Franklin Wooding, Nancy's maternal grandfather. He was a medical doctor and inventor who developed an automatic train control device and automatic block controls for prevention of railroad accidents. The Larry Hanks Series tells the story of the early death of Nancy Hanks' younger brother, who was killed in a truck accident in California in June, 1950 at the age of eighteen while a student at Southwestern University.
In this collection it is primarily the NEA portion of Hanks' career, 1968-1977 during the Nixon and Ford years, that is represented. However, there is some information in the letters to Hanks' parents in the Personal Series which reflects her early work, 1951-1968. During her tenure at NEA there were vast increases in NEA funding. The NEA was established in 1965 with the National Endowment for the Humanities as components of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities. In the National Endowment for the Arts Series there is a narrative entitled, "Ten Years for Tomorrow," which contains much biographical information about Hanks' NEA years. While at NEA Hanks delivered numerous speeches; in fact from 1971 to 1974 she made about 100 addresses. These years are also documented in the American Film Institute (AFI), Commission on Critical Choices for Americans, and National Council on the Arts series, which depict related responsibilities of Hanks. AFI files document the organization's efforts to preserve the heritage and art of both film and television in America. National Council on the Arts files reflect programs in the areas of architecture, dance, education, expansion arts, literature, museums, music, visual arts, exhibitions, and theater. The Personal Series, Pictures Series, and Awards and Memorabilia Series provide supplemental information. Letters Hanks wrote to her parents as well as other correspondence and notes in the Personal Series relating to the NEA show her continuing interest in the agency after retirement. Related papers for the NEA are housed at the National Archives.
The alphabetical files in the Personal Series document her board work, memberships, and interest in a variety of organizations and institutions, including those related to the arts. They include the Awards in the Visual Arts, Commission on Museums for a new Century, Continental Oil Company (Conoco), the Conservation Foundation, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U.S., the Independent Sector, the Indo-U.S. Subcommission on Education and Culture, Partners for Livable Places, the Phillips Collection, Presidential Task Force on the Arts and Humanities, Salzburg Seminar in American Studies, Scholastic, Inc., and Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. One measure of the public recognition of Hanks' work is the fact that during 1970 to 1981 she received 27 honorary doctoral degrees. The National Endowment for the Arts Series office files, Rockefeller Brothers Fund Series, and the Personal Series alphabetical files all contain single folders for a variety of art, dance, and music organizations.
Papers relating to Nelson Rockefeller are scattered throughout the collection. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund Series contains material relating to Nelson A., John D., 3rd, and Laurance. In the Personal Series is information on Nelson A. Rockefeller and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund; Hanks' correspondence with her parents also discusses her relationship with Nelson Rockefeller.
There are papers in the collection that reflect both Hanks' retirement years as well as activities of colleagues after her death in 1983. One measure of Hanks' post-NEA involvement is that in 1982 she was on the boards of three corporations and a foundation, as well as being trustee or advisor for 20 non-profit organizations. Related materials are in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center, Inc. series. The papers of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, where Hanks was a vice chairman, do not appear to provide a complete record of her work there. These files are probably scattered ones that she kept at home and often were not clearly defined.
The U.S. government designated the Old Post Office space on Pennsylvania Avenue as the Nancy Hanks Center. The Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center was formed to initiate programs commemorating Hanks' life and advancing her values. Most of the interviews in this series were conducted by Peter Jessup, but Donna Mitchell conducted a number of them. Many of these interviews exist as electronic files and are available to researchers. These files are listed in the container list for the Friends of the Nancy Hanks Center, Inc. Series.
A related collection in the Duke University Special Collections Department is the Philip Hanes collection. In addition, Hanes material appears in the Hanks Papers in the Personal Series both under his name and in the Awards in the Visual Arts folders.

Q: Travar rotação ao clicar Estou fazendo um Puzzle mas travei em uma parte. Me parece simples, mas não consigo achar uma solução. Bom, estou usando o mouse para clicar em um objeto para que ele rotacione até um certo ângulo, mas eu queria que ao clicar no mesmo objeto mais uma vez, o clique fosse bloqueado, sendo assim, a pessoa que estiver jogando, continue rotacionando os outros objetos sem conseguir girar o que ja foi clicado.
Quero que clique, pare, siga para o próximo quadradinho clicando e por ai vai, pq após clicar em todos, a fase acaba, aparace YOUWIN.
Estou usando esse Script para rotação
private void OnMouseDown()
{
if (!GameControl.youWin)
transform.Rotate(0f,0f,90f);
}
}
ME AJUDEM KK OBRIGADA!!

A: A sua pergunta não ficou muito clara, mas se eu entendi direito, você quer permitir só um clique por objeto, certo?
Minha sugestão é criar uma variável bool clicked no script do seu objeto, que vai guardar se já foi clicado ou não. E usar ela pra decidir o que fazer quando você detecta um clique:
public class RotatingObject : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool clicked = false;

    void OnMouseDown()
    {
        // Se ainda não foi clicado
        if (!clicked)
        {
            // Roda o código que gira o objeto
            // ...

            // Marca como clicado pra impedir de girar denovo
            clicked = true;
        }
    }
}

Plant-based milk sales boom as traditional milk processing plants file for bankruptcy
By: Kai Beech
For years, milk was marketed as a drink that does a body good. But after decades of declining sales, the American milk industry has turned somewhat sour.
At Leevers Locavore grocery store, the coffee bar is seeing more customers choosing options other than traditional cow milk.
"We go through about a case of alternative milks a day," said a barista. "Maybe just a gallon of whole milk or non-fat."
Across this store, more shoppers are loading their carts with alternative dairy choices.
Dairy manager Jacob Pomainville says cow milk sales aren't what they used to be.
"It's definitely evident that regular dairy is declining in popularity," he said.
Instead, more shoppers are stocking up on plant-based dairy products.
"This Oatly is selling really well," Pomainville said. "There's a high demand for."
National numbers mirror the store's sales.
According to Nielsen, almond milk is now America's favorite milk substitute.
Sales have jumped 250 percent over the past five years. During that same period, the total milk market shrank by more than $1 billion.
That economic impact can be felt across the country as two of America's biggest milk processing plants, Borden Dairy and Dean Foods, recently filed for bankruptcy.
"Mostly, the challenges right now we are experiencing – raw milk inflationary prices which puts a little bit of pressure on processors like Borden Dairy," said Tony Sarsam, Borden Dairy CEO.
"We've adopted the mantra, 'glass half full,'" he said. "Consumers are saying they want variety. They're looking for new ways to consume all products. They want convenience. They want healthy products and they want products that allow them to indulge."
Now, leaders of one of the country's most well renowned dairy science programs are speaking out.
"There, the distinction is those plants were making bottled milk, which is the product that tends to be going down," said Dan Sumner PhD, an agricultural economist at the University of California Davis.
Sumner says while America's consumption of cow milk is decreasing, the dairy industry overall isn't in trouble.
"That's right. Milk production is going up," he said. "Dairying is a tough business but there's people successful at it and I think the long-term future is really healthy."
A healthy future with more people now eating more cheese – and America exporting other dairy products like protein powder.
"The U.S. dairy industry is getting better and better at competing in the world market," Sumner said. "The industry is always looking for innovations to get more from less to be able to keep the price of milk affordable for people."

Exclusive Video Interview with Matthew Heineman on 'City of Ghosts'
Posted on October 4, 2017 by The Ultimate Rabbit
Of the documentaries released in 2017, "City of Ghosts" is one of the most important to witness. It follows the journey of "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" (RBSS), a group of anonymous activists who came together after their peaceful hometown was taken over and decimated by ISIS in 2014. What results is a film which is as astonishing as it is harrowing to sit through. We watch as Raqqa goes from being a town whose inhabitants celebrate weddings for a whole week to one laid in ruins as the radical terrorist group ISIS uses every weapon available to suppress the population and silence those who would speak out against them. Despite being threatened by one of the greatest evils in the world today, this group of citizen journalists continue to stand up against the atrocities ISIS has committed, and the images they have captured show just how far they will go which includes executing the father of one of the journalists.
"City of Ghosts" was directed by Matthew Heineman who previously gave us "Cartel Land," a documentary which examined the ongoing drug war at the U.S./Mexican border and of the vigilante groups fighting the Mexican drug cartels. Heineman was inspired to make a documentary about RBSS after reading an article about them in the New Yorker, and he managed to gain their trust very quickly to where it didn't take long for filming to begin. We watch as these journalists and activists flee their homeland and struggle to keep their spirits up as the threat of death continues to hang over them no matter how far they manage to get away. Also, we view the horrifying footage they have captured of the horrific acts ISIS has committed in Raqqa which includes executing and crucifying its citizens in public view. What is shown cannot be easily erased from our minds, but these crimes of humanity need to be seen as this threat needs to be stopped, and the actions of RBSS need to be commended in a time when journalism is being attacked by those who do not want to hear the truth.
It was an honor to speak with Heineman while he was in Los Angeles to talk about "City of Ghosts," and he spoke of how he became inspired to create this documentary as well as the current state of the war in Syria which will hopefully end sooner rather than later. Check out the interview below as well as the documentary's trailer. "City of Ghosts" will make its streaming debut on Amazon starting October 13, 2017.


Seven rocky planets orbiting a nearby star may be roughly the size of Earth and could even be right for water—and maybe life—to adorn their surfaces, researchers announced Thursday.
WATCH: Seven Exoplanets Around Cool Dwarf - Get amazing facts about the planets found around the nearby star TRAPPIST-1, which orbits just 39 light-years away.
"The detections of the six inner planets are very secure, and the seventh planet is likely real, too," says Lauren Weiss of the Université de Montréal.
It's tricky for scientists to figure out exactly what signature of life to look for, since anything that evolved to take advantage of TRAPPIST- 1's infrared light would be quite unearthly indeed. Rather than one single molecular fingerprint, life will likely announce its presence by tweaking the ratios of various compounds.

Glynn Hospitality wants to develop one of the last non-developed lots left along Newbury Street (and it may well be the very last developable lot on Newbury Street). Currently a surface parking lot hidden by a small brick wall, the small site is in between the popular Sonsie restaurant and a row of townhouses.
The Glynn Hospital Group, owner of a number of pubs in the city, wants to put up a five-story structure with retail out front and housing in the rest of the building. Not a big deal. But there are some concerns being voiced, the Herald reports.
The betting here is some sort of agreement will be reached on developing the site. The concerns appear to mostly center around aesthetic issues, not on whether building at the site will dramatically change the immediate area.
But an interesting thing that comes through in the article is how little space there is to develop anything on Newbury Street. The other interesting item, left unspoken, is why Glynn waited so long to do something with its prime parking lot.

Question 1. What's Mysql ?
Question 2. What Is Ddl, Dml And Dcl ?
If you look at the large variety of SQL commands, they can be divided into three large subgroups. Data Definition Language deals with database schemas and descriptions of how the data should reside in the database, therefore language statements like CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE belong to DDL. DML deals with data manipulation, and therefore includes most common SQL statements such SELECT, INSERT, etc. Data Control Language includes commands such as GRANT, and mostly concerns with rights, permissions and other controls of the database system.
Question 3. How Do You Get The Number Of Rows Affected By Query?
Question 4. If The Value In The Column Is Repeatable, How Do You Find Out The Unique Values?
Question 5. How Do You Return The A Hundred Books Starting From 25th?
Question 6. You Wrote A Search Engine That Should Retrieve 10 Results At A Time, But At The Same Time You'd Like To Know How Many Rows There're Total. How Do You Display That To The User?
Question 7. How Would You Write A Query To Select All Teams That Won Either 2, 4, 6 Or 8 Games?

Question 11. What Does -i-am-a-dummy Flag To Do When Starting Mysql?
Question 12. On Executing The Delete Statement I Keep Getting The Error About Foreign Key Constraint Failing. What Do I Do?
What it means is that so of the data that you're trying to delete is still alive in another table. Like if you have a table for universities and a table for students, which contains the ID of the university they go to, running a delete on a university table will fail if the students table still contains people enrolled at that university. Proper way to do it would be to delete the offending data first, and then delete the university in question. Quick way would involve running SET foreign_key_checks=0 before the DELETE command, and setting the parameter back to 1 after the DELETE is done. If your foreign key was formulated with ON DELETE CASCADE, the data in dependent tables will be removed automatically.
Question 13. When Would You Use Order By In Delete Statement?
When you're not deleting by row ID. Such as in DELETE FROM techpreparation_com_questions ORDER BY timestamp LIMIT 1.
Question 14. How Can You See All Indexes Defined For A Table?
Question 15. How Would You Change A Column From Varchar(10) To Varchar(50)?

Question 23. How Do You Convert A String To Utf-8?
Question 24. What Do % And _ Mean Inside Like Statement?
% corresponds to 0 or more characters, _ is exactly one character.
Question 25. What Does + Mean In Regexp?
At least one character. Appendix G. Regular Expressions from MySQL manual is worth perusing before the interview.
Question 26. How Do You Get The Month From A Timestamp?
Question 27. How Do You Offload The Time/date Handling To Mysql?
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(techpreparation_timestamp, '%Y-%m-%d') from techpreparation_questions; A similar TIME_FORMAT function deals with time.
Question 28. How Do You Add Three Minutes To A Date?
Question 29. What's The Difference Between Unix Timestamps And Mysql Timestamps?
Internally Unix timestamps are stored as 32-bit integers, while MySQL timestamps are stored in a similar manner, but represented in readable YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.

Question 42. What Are Some Good Ideas Regarding User Security In Mysql?
Question 43. Explain The Difference Between Myisam Static And Myisam Dynamic. ?
Question 44. What Does Myisamchk Do?
It compressed the MyISAM tables, which reduces their disk usage.
Question 45. Explain Advantages Of Innodb Over Myisam?
Row-level locking, transactions, foreign key constraints and crash recovery.
Question 46. Explain Advantages Of Myisam Over Innodb?
Much more conservative approach to disk space management - each MyISAM table is stored in a separate file, which could be compressed then with myisamchk if needed. With InnoDB the tables are stored in tablespace, and not much further optimization is possible. All data except for TEXT and BLOB can occupy 8,000 bytes at most. No full text indexing is available for InnoDB. TRhe COUNT(*)s execute slower than in MyISAM due to tablespace complexity.
Question 47. What Are Heap Tables In Mysql?
BLOB fields are allowed within HEAP tables. You can only use the comparison operators = and <=>. HEAP tables do not support AUTO_INCREMENT. Indexes must be NOT NULL.
Question 48. How Do You Control The Max Size Of A Heap Table?
Question 49. What Are Csv Tables?

Question 53. Explain The Difference Between Bool, Tinyint And Bit. ?
Question 54. Explain The Difference Between Float, Double And Real. ?
FLOATs store floating point numbers with 8 place accuracy and take up 4 bytes.
DOUBLEs store floating point numbers with 16 place accuracy and take up 8 bytes.
REAL is a synonym of FLOAT for now.
Question 55. If You Specify The Data Type As Decimal (5,2), What's The Range Of Values That Can Go In This Table?
Question 56. What Happens If A Table Has One Column Defined As Timestamp?
Question 57. But What If You Really Want To Store The Timestamp Data, Such As The Publication Date Of The Article?
Question 58. Explain Data Type Timestamp Default Current_timestamp On Update Current_timestamp ?
Question 59. What Does Timestamp On Update Current_timestamp Data Type Do?
Question 60. Explain Timestamp Default 2006:09:02 17:38:44? On Update Current_timestamp. ?
Question 61. If I Created A Column With Data Type Varchar(3), What Would I Expect To See In Mysql Table?
CHAR(3), since MySQL automatically adjusted the data type.
Question 62. General Information About Mysql.
MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server.
Question 63. Why Sql Is A Database Management System?
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system such as MySQL. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data, database management plays a central role in computing, as stand-alone utilities, or as parts of other applications.
Question 64. Why Use Mysql?
MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use. If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL also has a very practical set of features developed in very close cooperation with our users. You can find a performance comparison of MySQL to some other database managers on our benchmark page. See section 12.7 Using Your Own Benchmarks. MySQL was originally developed to handle very large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several years. Though under constant development, MySQL today offers a rich and very useful set of functions. The connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet.
Question 65. How Mysql Optimizes Distinct ?
Question 66. How Mysql Optimizes Limit ?
In some cases a GROUP BY can be resolved by reading the key in order (or do a sort on the key) and then calculate summaries until the key value changes. In this case LIMIT # will not calculate any unnecessary GROUP BY's.
Question 67. Mysql - Speed Of Delete Queries ?
If you want to delete all rows in the table, you should use TRUNCATE TABLE table_name. The time to delete a record is exactly proportional to the number of indexes. To delete records more quickly, you can increase the size of the index cache.
Question 68. What Is The Difference Between Mysql_fetch_array And Mysql_fetch_object?
mysql_fetch_object — Fetch a result row as an OBJECT.
Question 69. What Are The Different Table Present In Mysql?
MyISAM : This is default. Based on Indexed Sequntial Access Method. The above SQL will create a MyISA table.
BDB : Supports Transactions using COMMIT & ROLLBACK. Slower that others.
Question 70. What Is Primary Key?
Question 71. What Is Foreign Key?
Question 72. What Is Index?
Question 73. What Is Join?
Join is data retrieval operation that combines rows from multiple tables under certain matching conditions to form a single row.
Question 74. What Is Union?
Question 75. What Is Isam?
ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) was developed by IBM to store and retrieve data on secondary storage systems like tapes.
Question 76. What Is Innodb?
lnnoDB is a transaction safe storage engine developed by Innobase Oy (an Oracle company now).
Question 77. What Is Bdb (berkeleydb)?
BDB (BerkeleyDB) is transaction safe storage engine originally developed at U.C. Berkeley. It is now developed by Sleepycat Software, Inc. (an Oracle company now).
Question 78. What Is Csv?
Question 79. What Is Transaction?
A transaction is a logical unit of work requested by a user to be applied to the database objects. MySQL server introduces the transaction concept to allow users to group one or more SQL statements into a single transaction, so that the effects of all the SQL statements in a transaction can be either all committed (applied to the database) or all rolled back (undone from the database).
Question 80. What Is Commit?
Question 81. What Is Rollback?
Question 82. How Many Groups Of Data Types?
String Data Types - CHAR, NCHAR, VARCHAR, NVARCHAR, BINARY, VARBINARY, TINYBLOB, TINYTEXT, BLOB, TEXT, MEDIUMBLOB, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGBLOB, LONGTEXT, ENUM, SET.
Numeric Data Types - BIT, TINYINT, BOOLEAN, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, REAL, DECIMAL.
Date and Time Data Types - DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, TIME, YEAR.
Question 83. What Is The Differences Between Char And Nchar?
CHARs full name is CHARACTER.
NCHARs full name is NATIONAL CHARACTER.
By default, CHAR uses ASCII character set. So 1 character is always stored as 1 byte.
By default, NCHAR uses Unicode character set. NCHAR data are stored in UTF8 format. So 1 character could be stored as 1 byte or upto 4 bytes.
Both CHAR and NCHAR columns are defined with fixed lengths in units of characters.
Question 84. How To Escape Special Characters In Sql Statements?
The escape character () needs to be escaped as (\).
The single quote (') needs to be escaped as (') or (") in single-quote quoted strings.
The double quote () needs to be escaped as (") or ("") in double-quote quoted strings.
The wild card character for a single character () needs to be escaped as (_).
The tab character needs to be escaped as (t).
The new line character needs to be escaped as (n).
The carriage return character needs to be escaped as (r).
Question 85. How To Concatenate Two Character Strings?
Question 86. How To Enter Characters As Hex Numbers?
Question 87. How To Enter Boolean Values In Sql Statements?
Question 88. How To Convert Numeric Values To Character Strings?
Question 89. How To Get Rid Of The Last 2 0's?
Question 90. How To Use In Conditions?
Question 91. How To Use Like Conditions?
is used in the pattern to match any one character.
% is used in the pattern to match any zero or more characters.
Question 92. How To Present A Past Time In Hours, Minutes And Seconds?
30 hours, 45 minutes and 22 seconds ago.

Q: Perform an HTTP request in UNNotificationServiceExtension I need to call a backend service when my app receives a remote push notification, even when the app is killed. To do this I intercept the notification using a UNNotificationServiceExtension, in the "didReceive" method, and I perform a http request in the body of this method. Is this a dangerous procedure? Can this cause some problems, eg a rejection from the Apple Store?

A: You can definitely do what you want, but remember you only get around 30 seconds and that you need to use a synchronous, not async download.  If you use an async download it'll likely be killed as soon as your completion handler calls, which will happen before your download completes.
