16 American missionaries kidnapped by gang in Haiti, Ohio-based Christian ministry says
by News Kick in News 0 comments
A group of Christian missionaries — 16 Americans and one Canadian — were kidnapped in Haiti, a U.S. ministry said.
The group of seven women, five men, and five children were abducted during a trip to visit an orphanage on Saturday, the Christian Aid Ministries based in Berlin, Ohio, said in a statement.
"This is a special prayer alert," the one-minute message from the ministry said, according to NBC News. "Pray that the gang members would come to repentance."
"Join us in praying for those who are being held hostage, the kidnappers, and the families, friends, and churches of those affected. Pray for those who are seeking God's direction and making decisions regarding this matter," the ministry said in a statement.
"As an organization, we commit this situation to God and trust Him to see us through," the ministry continued. "May the Lord Jesus be magnified and many more people come to know His love and salvation."
The statement ended with Psalm 91:1,2,11, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust...For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
Christian Aid Ministries said it was working with the U.S. Embassy in Haiti to help facilitate a safe return for the kidnapped missionaries.
A U.S. government spokesperson said they were aware of the reports on the kidnappingChristian Aid Ministries said it was working with the U.S. Embassy in Haiti to help facilitate a safe return for the kidnapped missionaries.
A U.S. government spokesperson said they were aware of the reports on the kidnapping"The welfare and safety of U.S. citizens abroad is one of the highest priorities of the Department of State," the spokesperson said.
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. is in contact with Haitian authorities to attempt to resolve the case, Time reported.
The 400 Mawozo gang kidnapped the missionaries in Ganthier, a community east of the capital of Port-au-Prince, Haitian police inspector Frantz Champagne told The Associated Press.
The gang — whose name roughly translates to 400 "inexperienced men" — was blamed for kidnapping five priests and two nuns earlier this year in Haiti. The 400 Mawozo gang controls the Croix-des-Bouquets area, and are known for kidnappings, carjackings, and extorting business owners, according to Haitian authorities.
Haitian gangs have demanded ransoms ranging from a couple of hundred dollars to more than $1 million, authorities have said.
USA Today reported, "At least 328 kidnapping victims were reported to Haiti's National Police in the first eight months of 2021, compared with a total of 234 for all of 2020, according to a report issued last month by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti known as BINUH."
"Political turmoil, the surge in gang violence, deteriorating socioeconomic conditions — including food insecurity and malnutrition — all contribute to the worsening of the humanitarian situation," BINUH said in its report last month. "An overstretched and under-resourced police force alone cannot address the security ills of Haiti."

Holy Land Programme
We will follow in the footsteps of Jesus and discover this unique a spiritual land with visits to Tiberias, Nazareth, Jerusalem and Bethlehem.Please see below for a detailed description of the towns and places we visit on our Holyland trip. The programme below is a sample programme. For specific dates and a detailed programme please see our price list.
Pater Noster Church built in the 4th century, stands on the original site where Jesus taught the disciples the Lord�s Prayer. The Via Dolorosa, also known at the Path of Sorrow, is traditionally known as the road that Jesus carried the Cross to Calvary. The road starts were Jesus was tried and convicted and condemned to be crucified. The 14 Stations of the Cross are based on events that occurred while Jesus was carrying the Cross to Calvary. We will walk the Via Dolorosa to the site where He was crucified on the Hill of Golgotha. Situated on the Hill of Golgotha stands the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Known as the holiest place in the Christian world, the church stands on the site where Jesus was crucified and the tomb in which He was buried. The room of the Last Supper is located above the Tomb of David and Mount Zion. It is believed to be the room where Jesus and His Disciples shared His last supper the night before his capture.
Garden of Gethsemane
Located directly next to the Church of All Nations lies the Garden of Gethsemane. According to Christian tradition the Garden of Gethsemane is where Jesus spent His last night. After the Last Supper, Jesus and His disciples left the city of Jerusalem and travelled here where they prayed until the guards, led by Judas, came to arrest Jesus.
Located just 5 miles from Jerusalem lies the town of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ. One of the oldest surviving churches in Bethlehem is the Church of the Nativity. Built over a grotto, it is believed to be the site where the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus. Close to Manger Square lies the Milk Grotto. This is where Mary, St. Joseph and Baby Jesus took refuge from Herod's soldiers while fleeing to Egypt. Located 2km from Bethlehem, lies the Shepherds Fields. Traditionally it is said that the Angels of the Lord visited the shepherds in these fields to inform them of Baby Jesus' birth. The churches of St. Jerome and the Holy Innocents are located in Bethlehem also.
The Mount of Beatitudes is located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. According to tradition, this is the location where Jesus delivered His most important sermon, the "Sermon on the Mount." Today, there stands a Franciscan Church on the original site.
Tabgha
Located in Tabgha is the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fish. According to tradition this is the site where Jesus miraculously multiplied 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish into enough food to feed 5000 people. See the church with its beautiful mosaics of fish and a bread basket symbolising this miracle.
Capernaum was Jesus' home base during his ministry. The Apostles also lived here. See the ruins of the local Synagogue that Jesus taught in and also the excavations of St. Peter's mother in law's house.
Mount Tabor also known as the Mount of Transfiguration, is believed to be the site of the transfiguration where an exchange took place between Jesus with Elijah and Moses.
North of Nazareth lies the village of Cana, the location where Jesus performed His first miracle. Jesus turned a large quantity of water into wine when the wine ran out at a wedding He and His disciples were attending.
The Basilica of the Annunciation is located in the heart of the city of Nazareth. It is said to be built over the site of the Virgin Mary�s house and where Angel Gabriel told Our Lady that she would give birth to Jesus. The current building of St. Joseph�s Church was constructed in 1914. This small church stands over the remains of St. Joseph�s carpentry workshop and the house of the Holy Family. It contains storage pits that may date back from the time of Jesus. Visit also the Cave, home of the Holy Family and also Mary's Well, which was the main source of water for the city and where it is believed that Mary fetched water and bathed Baby Jesus.

Q: Including a variable in a GAMM more than once (in R) I've constructed a GAMM on some environmental variables (water temp., salinity, etc..) to see if there are significant differences between the months in which we collect data. Values obviously change by month and year (time of day and location too), but I'd still like to test each month in a pairwise comparison later (temp in March vs. April, etc).
My question: Can a variable be included in a model more than once? I know I need an interaction term between month and year, but do I also need two random effects for both variables as well?
Modelling temperature (temp = temperature; time2 = time of day (over all sites/months/years):

Model:
mod <- gam(temp ~ s(Month2, bs = "re") + s(CYR, bs = "re") + s(Month2, CYR, bs = "re") + s(time2, bs = "cr") + s(Site, bs = "re"), family = gaussian, data = env)

My data:
> str(env)
tibble [1,363 × 15] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
 $ use_for_analysis: chr [1:1363] "Standard" "Standard" "Standard" "Standard" ...

A: The ultimate answer to your question is "yes" but you need to be careful to not include the main effects of the variable in question more than once. In the case of your model where you have modelled everything as random effects, then there is no problem.
An alternative model might be
gam(temp ~ s(Month2, k = 8) +
           s(CYR) +
           ti(Month2, CYR, k = c(5,5)) +
           s(time2, bs = "cr") +
           ti(Month2, time2) +
           ti(CYR, time2, k = c(5,5)) +
           s(Site, bs = "re"),
    family = gaussian, data = env
    method = "REML") # <--- Important or "ML"

where I have used "main effects" smooths with s() and "tensor product interaction" smooths with ti() — which exclude the main effects from the tensor product — to include smooths of multiple the same variable to allow the within day, within season, and between year effects to all interact.

Vehicles > Land Rover > Big Daddy
Originally Published: February 2013 Words: Paul Looe Pictures: Harry Hamm (And supplied by Toby Barnes-Taylor)
Toby Barnes-Taylor is every kid's dream dad. When he left the army with a resettlement cheque, he didn't sink it into the mortgage – he bought a Defender 130 and prepped it for overlanding. From now on, every family holiday is going to be the adventure of a lifetime.
We've featured hundreds of modified 4x4s over the years, and every owner has had their own story to tell about how their truck came to be the way it is. We're pretty sure, however, that Toby Barnes-Taylor is the first who bought a Land Rover as the result of a 'complete life-changing epiphany.'
The story goes back to 2011. Actually, it goes back to 1992, when he first joined the armed forces, and in the intervening years he says he 'fell in love with Land Rovers' while serving in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Scroll forward 19 years and he was getting ready for early retirement when, a few months before returning to civvy street, he bumped into an old friend by the name of Woody.
'He had a Defender 130 which he used to take his family on camping holidays in North Africa,' Toby explains. 'In the Easter of 2011 he invited me to go on holiday with him, with two other vehicles as well, all dads and sons. The plan was that the boys would go out for a couple of weeks, then his family would fly out and they'd have two more weeks of adventures with his wife and children.'
And that was when the epiphany happened. 'I went with my son Joe and it absolutely fundamentally struck me that this was what I wanted to do with my children. The adventures we had, the stories, the sleeping under a million stars in the desert, the freedom… I came back utterly changed.'
With retirement looming, he resolved to use some of his army resettlement pay to buy and prepare a Land Rover of his own. 'Most people would use it to pay some money off on the mortgage,' he reflects. 'But I wanted it to give the children a thousand adventures as they
were growing up.'
When you've only just arrived home from a fortnight's holiday without your other half, announcing to her that you plan to spend a fortune on a car might be considered a bit of a gamble. But Toby says his wife got the idea from the word go. 'She thought I was utterly crazy, but immediately understood what I was trying to do. So I was very pleasantly surprised that she agreed with the idea of having adventures, and that the memories our children would take from them would be just as important as the education they receive in school.'
This is a big part of the 130's appeal for Toby. 'Hotels are so sanitised and so safe, you could be in Spain or France or Portugal or Turkey… Wherever you go, the food's almost the same, the pool's the same, the children would have no memories of parts of the world.'
By contrast, here's what the family did in August 2012: 'We took the children into the desert and the Atlas Mountains. I taught my son how to drive on a dried lake bed. And we just had a thousand adventures. Camping out, playing cards in the evening, sleeping out under the stars and filling their brains with all the things we did for fun.
'And they're now learning at school about Rome, so they asked if we can go to Italy this summer and we're planning that. We're planning to take them to see the Northern Lights in spring of 2014, up through Sweden and Norway. I go back to Morocco with a bunch of friends in May next year, when we'll go straight over the Atlas mountains and into the Sahara.'
The truck that makes it all possible started life as a 130 Double Cab Chassis, which Toby bought new from Roger Young Land Rover in Plymouth. This particular outfit got his business because as well as being a main dealer, it has a fabrication shop on-site which could build him a bespoke overlanding version of the Quadtec backs it puts on Defenders for utility companies and emergency services.
Prior to that, there was a bit of debate in Toby's mind about whether he really needed a 130. He knew the Land Rover was also going to be his everyday car, and a 110 would be much less of a handful in traffic. As for parking…
'But with three children,' he says, 'in a 110 I would have had absolutely no space for any luggage, so I would need to load a great deal on the roof. When we went to Morocco, we had 180 litres of liquid on board, and that's before you get into the weight of the tent and so on.
A 110 would be easier to use every day but I didn't want to unbalance the vehicle, so it had to be the 130. I'd say I've compromised on it being an unwieldy vehicle for normal use in town, and it certainly makes parking more difficult, to ensure that when we're doing overland trips, there is no compromise.'
With the shell of the truck now ready to fill with goodies, the story of the build turns into something of a who's who of the off-road aftermarket. Devon 4x4, Extreme 4x4, First Four, John Craddock, Paddock Spares, Protection and Performance, Nene Overland, Trek Overland, OEC… each of these and more played their part as the build was planned over the course of several months, with Toby ripping pages out of off-road magazines to create a catalogue of things he wanted.
Taking the advice of his friend Woody, who had already been overlanding for many years, he decided that roll protection and suspension, the latter including wheels and tyres, were the two areas in which he could least afford to cut corners. Look at it that way, and overlanding is no different to comp safari.
And it was a well known name on the safari circuit who supplied the cage, in the shape of Protection and Performance, whose full external unit was fitted by OEC International. The same company also did all the electrical work – and as work goes, that's a whole lot of it.
Starting the engine continues to be the job of the original primary battery, and it should never struggle to do so as that's still all it's there for. An intelligent management system keeps it charged, while also maintaining an Odyssey PC1500 which runs all the vehicle's auxiliary draws.
These include no less than seven 12-volt sockets, split between the front facia and back body, and a 2kw power inverter supplying a bank of three mains plugs under rear seats. Anderson connectors front and rear can be coupled to jump leads, an air compressor or a demountable Champion 9500 winch and, as well as not one but two fridges, further goodies in the cab include a 7" display running a pair of rear-view cameras and a 10" screen for a roof-mounted DVD player.
Putting some juice back in is a 4.5W solar panel, and a 240v external hook-up is installed to remotely power the vehicle through a separate fuse box.
Down below, those wheels and tyres are 285/75R16 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx fitted on Pro-Comp Extreme alloys. An unusual choice, but width matters more in the desert than on the average British lane, and the sheer amount of metal in the rims demonstrates that when a truck's this heavy, strength is way more important than unsprung weight.
Holding it all up is a set of Old Man Emu springs, but not just any set. Those at the rear are heavy-duty units, and for obvious reasons they're backed up by helpers. Similarly, the shocks are twinned on the rear axle, and damping of another kind comes from a Terrafirma Return-to-Centre unit on the steering – no small matter with tyres this wide.
Woody's advice has proved very sound thus far, with the truck doing exactly what it was meant to on the family's first expedition. 'Morocco was the first time we had stayed in it for more than one night, and after three weeks the only thing I was wanting for was an extension to the exhaust pipe so I could run the engine when the car was static to keep the batteries recharged.' That speaks volumes for the suspension combo (the cage didn't get tested, happily) – and indeed for the truck itself.
'It was Woody whose 130 I went in originally, and he made the point that when you're camping and moving every day, the ease and the speed with which you can set up and disassemble your camp is one of the things you have to think about most. With the 130, the side hatches open up and allow access to the kitchen almost instantly. We can pull up and be cooking food within 15 minutes of the car coming to a halt, and have the tent set up as well. But if we were in a 110, we'd have to unload everything in order to set it up, then reload and pack it. And that would drive you not to want to move every day, so you don't explore as much.'
So is it really worth lugging your holiday home around with you all year round, in the form of a 17-foot wagon that probably weighs as much as an actual holiday home, just for the sake of a couple of weeks' adventure every summer? You already know the answer: the experiences Toby's family have had already, and the promise of a lifetime's more to come, are all the justification a person could ever need.
Even in pure financial terms, what he's done with this vehicle makes complete sense in the long term. He expects to keep the Land Rover for at least ten years: assuming that without it, he'd be buying five new family cars in that time and trading each of them in on its second birthday, the truck is his protection against around £50,000's worth of depreciation.
It makes a whole lot of sense in other ways, too. 'Each holiday we go on probably costs a quarter of what it would if we were flying and staying in hotels,' he says. 'Now we have the car, holidays are far cheaper, so we can go more adventurous places for longer. We can use it for weekends away or anything else we want to do, we can explore far wider. And when we visit friends around the UK, we can camp out rather than having to stay in their homes.'
Better still, after ten years of hotel holidays all you've got are slightly confused memories. After ten years of seeing the world in a truck like this, the memories you've got are priceless – and there's a vehicle on your drive that's still worth a handy sum.
'If that's some way of justifying the pain of writing the cheque,' says Toby when we put that to him, 'then yes, you're quite right.' But this Land Rover isn't about dull care and commonsense. It's about learning, exploring, adventuring, discovering: it's about making anything possible.
And yes, it's about doing something a little bit crazy. 'I had that one chance of the retirement money from the army to buy this and set the family on its way,' admits Toby, and it's a chance he took hold of with both hands. He's a man who's made the most of his good fortune – and you can't imagine that his family will ever stop thanking him for it.

Case study: University of Lincoln studies retirement age implications for benefits
The University of Lincoln has 1,300 staff, 30% of them aged over 50. The organisation is reviewing its benefits package to account for any impact of the removal of the default retirement age.
Ian Hodson, reward and benefits manager at the university, says: "I see the removal of the DRA in two ways. Firstly, it means we have commenced a review of policies, contracts and processes to remove any aspects relative to the DRA, and developed communications and guidance for staff and managers.
"Secondly, the removal has given us the opportunity to focus on some of other agendas within the organisation to
ensure they are fit for purpose."
The university is reviewing its benefits package to take into account what, over time, could be a changing workforce demographic. It is also trying to focus on management information. "For example, we are aware of a higher long-term absence rate within the over-50 age group and are looking at how our health plans could support this," says Hodson.
The university is also reviewing how its pre-retirement support could be adapted as the concept of retirement at a fixed age is phased out.
"We will be promoting the benefits of phased and flexible retirement to graduate the move into retirement, while still maintaining the critical links our employees have with the university," says Hodson.

Lorenzo wins third MotoGP title after Valencia victory
By Luke SmithNov 8, 2015, 9:03 AM EST
Jorge Lorenzo clinched his third MotoGP world championship after fending off Honda riders Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa to win Sunday's Grand Prix of Valencia.
Lorenzo entered the final race of the season trailing Yamaha teammate Valentino Rossi by seven points at the top of the riders' standings after 17 races.
The Spaniard took pole position on Saturday, putting the two championship contenders at opposite ends of the grid thanks to Rossi's penalty following his clash with Marquez in Sepang.
Lorenzo managed to retain his lead off the line ahead of Marquez and Pedrosa, while Rossi made a flying start from the back of the grid, rising up to 15th by the end of the first lap – a gain of 11 positions.
Going in search of his tenth world championship and seventh in the premier class, Rossi managed to scythe through the field in the laps that followed to run fourth on lap 13, leaving only Lorenzo, Marquez and Pedrosa ahead.
The trio had gapped Rossi by over ten seconds by this point, leaving the Italian reliant on both Marquez and Pedrosa to pass Lorenzo if he were to win the championship.
Lorenzo appeared to have the title won as Pedrosa fell some two seconds back at one point. However, just as Marquez began to crawl all over the back of Lorenzo with seven laps to go, Pedrosa began to make inroads after saving his tires.
With just two laps to go, less than one second separated the top three, with Pedrosa pushing to pass Marquez for position. However, the outgoing champion was able to hold his teammate back, with their battle giving Lorenzo some relief at the front.
Following a classic and controversial season, Lorenzo crossed the line to win the race by just 0.2 seconds and clinch his fifth motorcycle world championship, his third in the premier class.
Marquez and Pedrosa followed the Yamaha rider across the line in second and third, while Rossi finished the race in a somewhat lonely fourth, leaving him just five points shy of the Spaniard in the final standings.
Pol Espargaro finished fifth ahead of Tech 3 teammate Bradley Smith, while Andrea Dovizioso was the sole Ducati to take the checkered flag after Andrea Iannone crashed out early on. Aleix Espargaro finished eighth for Suzuki, beating Cal Crutchlow and Danilo Petrucci in ninth and tenth.
American rider Nicky Hayden ended his long MotoGP career with a 17th-place finish for Aspar.

Q: How to bind the content of a control to a property of type VIEW in XAML I would like to make a generic settings page for my App. I have a list of different types of settings, each one corresponding to the following interface:
public interface ISettings
{
    string SectionLabel { get; }

    View SectionView  { get; }
}

Each type of settings represent a given aspect or section of the settings of the Application. The goal is to enable each type of settings to define it's own apprearance and the way to adjust it's own value.
I have a settings page with a list of all the settings :
public List settingsSections { get => App.AppSettings.SettingsSections; }
In the XAML settings page, I would like to display them like this :
<StackLayout BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding settingsSections, Source={x:Reference this}}" Padding="0" BackgroundColor="White">
    <BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <xct:Expander>
                <xct:Expander.Header>
                    <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <Image Source="{Helpers:ImageResource Images.filledDownArrow.png}" HeightRequest="{Binding Source={x:Reference heightRef}, Path=Height, Converter={Helpers:IntMultiplier Multiplier=0.99}}"
                            HorizontalOptions="Start"
                            VerticalOptions="Center">
                            <Image.Triggers>
                                <DataTrigger TargetType="Image"
                                            Binding="{Binding Source={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type xct:Expander}}, Path=IsExpanded}"
                                            Value="True">
                                    <Setter Property="Source"
                                        Value="{Helpers:ImageResource Images.filledRightArrow.png}" />
                                </DataTrigger>
                            </Image.Triggers>
                        </Image>
                        <Label x:Name="heightRef" Text="{Binding SectionLabel}"
                            FontAttributes="Bold"
                            FontSize="Medium" />
                    </StackLayout>
                </xct:Expander.Header>

                <xct:Expander.Content="{Binding SectionView}"/>

            </xct:Expander>
        </DataTemplate>
    </BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>

But of course, this line don't work:
<xct:Expander.Content="{Binding View}"/>

How can I achieve my goal ? Can someone help me ? I think I can't use custom control because I should change the type of the control for every line/section of the stacklayout according to the actual type of the setting which is referred to.

A: Option 1
You don't have to specify xct:Expander.Content at that point whatever you put there will be implicitly setting the Content property.
Replace
<xct:Expander.Content="{Binding SectionView}"/>

With
<ContentView Content="{Binding SectionView}"/>

Option 2
Specify it this way:
<DataTemplate>
            <xct:Expander Content="{Binding SectionView}">
                <xct:Expander.Header>

Q: Compile Time Assertion is Unreliable? I am going through the first chapters of the book "Modern C++ Design". In particular, compile time assertions. I have some problem with the following code:
template<bool> struct CompileTimeChecker
{
  CompileTimeChecker(...) {}
};

template<> struct CompileTimeChecker<false> {};

#define STATIC_CHECK(expr, msg)\
{\
  struct ERROR_##msg {ERROR_##msg() {}};\
  CompileTimeChecker<((expr) != 0)>(ERROR_##msg());\
}

int main()
{
  STATIC_CHECK(0, MessageNull);
  STATIC_CHECK(1, MessageOne);
}

This doesn't raise a compile time error for g++ 7.4.0 and clang++ 6.0.0. However, the following code does raise an error (as expected):
template<bool> struct CompileTimeChecker
{
  CompileTimeChecker(...) {}
};

template<> struct CompileTimeChecker<false> {};

#define STATIC_CHECK(expr, msg)\
{\
  struct ERROR_##msg {ERROR_##msg(int i) {i;}};\
  CompileTimeChecker<((expr) != 0)>(ERROR_##msg(0));\
}

int main()
{
  STATIC_CHECK(0, MessageNull);
  STATIC_CHECK(1, MessageOne);
}

The only difference in the second code is the usage of a constructor with parameters.

The expected error message in both cases is:

*

*g++: no matching function for call to 'CompileTimeChecker<false>::CompileTimeChecker(main()::ERROR_MessageNull)

*clang++: no matching conversion for functional-style cast from 'ERROR_MessageNull' to 'CompileTimeChecker<(0 != 0)>'

A: This is called the most vexing parse.  The following statement:
CompileTimeChecker<expr>(Type());

is equivalent to
CompileTimeChecker<expr> Type();

which declares a function named Type.  You can work around the issue by using the = form of initialization:
CompileTimeChecker<expr> var = Type();

This way, it cannot be interpreted as a declaration.  You can also use the {} initialization since C++11.  On the other hand,
CompileTimeChecker<expr>(Type(0));

is an expression statement that creates an object as desired because Type(0) cannot possibly declare a function.
Since C++11, just use static_assert.

Les Relations entre le Canada et le Japon désignent les relations internationales entre le Canada et le Japon. Les deux pays jouissent d'une entente amicale dans beaucoup de secteurs ; Les relations diplomatiques entre les deux pays ont officiellement débuté en 1950 par l'ouverture du consulat japonais à Ottawa. En 1929, le Canada a ouvert sa légation à Tokyo, la première en Asie ; et la même année, le consulat du Japon à Ottawa a formé une légation.

Créée en 1929, la mission du Canada au Japon est la plus ancienne mission du Canada en Asie et la troisième mission non-Commonwealth la plus ancienne après celles des États-Unis et de la France. Le Canada a une ambassade à Tokyo et un consulat à Nagoya. Le Japon a une ambassade à Ottawa et quatre consulats généraux - à Calgary, à Montréal, à Toronto et à Vancouver. Les deux pays sont membres à part entière du G8, de l'OCDE et de l'APEC.

Histoire

Premiers contacts
Quelques contacts entre le Canada et le Japon précèdent les établissements mutuels des légations permanentes. Le premier japonais connu à immigrer au Canada, Nagano Manzo, débarqua à New Westminster en Colombie-Britannique en 1877.

Les missionnaires canadiens au Japon au cours de l'ère Meiji ont contribué à la modernisation et à l'occidentalisation du système éducatif japonais, en établissant en matière scolaire la philosophie occidentale traditionnelle. Le Canadien G.G. Cochran a contribué à la création de l'université Doshisha à Kyoto, et Davidson McDonald à celle d'Aoyama Gakuin à Tokyo.

En 1887, la route maritime entre Yokohama et Vancouver a été ouverte, des navires du Canadien Pacifique faisant des liaisons régulières. L'un d'entre eux, le RMS Impératrice d'Australie, et son capitaine, Samuel Robinson, a acquis une renommée internationale en raison de ses efforts de sauvetage entrepris après le grand tremblement de terre de Kanto de 1923.

De 1904 à 1905, Herbert Cyrille Thacker de l'artillerie royale de Canada, a servi comme attaché militaire de l'armée japonaise pendant la guerre russo-japonaise. Il a reçu l'Ordre du Trésor sacré, troisième classe par le gouvernement japonais pour ses services pendant cette guerre. Il a également reçu la Médaille de guerre japonaise.

Ouverture des missions diplomatiques
La légation que le Canada a ouverte à Tokyo en 1929 était la troisième du non-Commonwealth après celles de Washington et de Paris. Ce fait souligne l'importance exceptionnelle du Japon pour le Canada comme plaque tournante pour ses activités diplomatiques dans l'ensemble de l'Asie. Cependant, la création de cette légation a eu beaucoup à faire avec le sentiment anti-asiatique dans la province canadienne de Colombie-Britannique pendant la première moitié du .

Le premier ministre canadien William Lyon Mackenzie King était pressé d'endiguer l'immigration japonaise au Canada, il a déclaré « notre seul moyen efficace de traiter la question japonaise est d'avoir notre propre ministre au Japon pour les passeports et les visas. » Pour le contexte, il convient de noter que le consulat du Japon à Vancouver a été ouvert en 1889, 40 ans avant son ambassade à Ottawa en 1929. Le premier des ministres japonais au Canada était le prince Iemasa Tokugawa, de 1929 à 1934. Le premier des ministres canadiens au Japon était Sir Herbert Meredith Marler, de 1929 à 1936.

Seconde Guerre mondiale
Les liens diplomatiques ont été rompus en 1941 avec le début de la Guerre du Pacifique. Le Canada a alors interné les Nippo-canadiens après le vote de la Loi des mesures de guerre pour la sécurité « nationale ». Les Nippo-Canadiens ont vu plusieurs de leurs droits retirées, dont le droit de travailler dans certains métiers et le droit à la propriété.

La seule bataille directe entre les deux pays fut la bataille de Hong Kong, huit heures après l'attaque de Pearl Harbor. L'affrontement a donnait lieu à l'occupation japonaise de Hong Kong.

Après-guerre
Les représentants canadiens sont revenus à Tokyo en 1946 à la suite de la capitulation inconditionnelle du Japon aux forces alliées après les bombardements atomiques de Hiroshima et Nagasaki. Le Japon a également ouvert un bureau diplomatique à Ottawa en 1951 pour préparer la future reprise des relations diplomatiques. La pleine restauration des relations entre le Canada et le Japon a accompagné le Traité de paix de San Francisco en 1952.

La légation canadienne à Tokyo est devenue une ambassade et Robert Mayhew, le premier ambassadeur canadien au Japon après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le Japon a également établi une ambassade à Ottawa avec Iguchi Sadao comme premier ambassadeur japonais au Canada.

Le Canada a agi de diverses manières pour aider la ré-entrée du Japon dans la communauté internationale. Ce fut grâce au Canada que le Japon fut admis à la conférence du plan de Colombo qui s'est tenue à Ottawa en 1954, la même année où un accord bilatéral pour le commerce a été scellé. Le Canada a appuyé l'inclusion du Japon dans l'Accord général sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce (GATT) ; et quand le Japon est entré au GATT, le Canada fut l'un des seuls pays qui lui a accordé le statut de nation-très-favorisée.

Le Japon a reçu le soutien du Canada quand il est entré aux Nations unies en 1956. De même, le Canada a beaucoup soutenu l'admission du Japon à l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) en 1963.

L'événement le plus remarquable symbolisant la reprise des relations fut la visite du prince Akihito (l'empereur actuel) au Canada en 1953. L'année suivante, le premier ministre Louis St-Laurent et le premier ministre Shigeru Yoshida ont échangé des visites.

Depuis les années 50, le Japon et le Canada ont signé un certain nombre d'accords bilatéraux au sujet de la pêche, du commerce, de l'aviation, des services postaux, de l'énergie atomique, et de la culture. Il y a eu beaucoup de visites des premiers ministres, aussi bien japonais et canadiens. Après les années 60, les premiers ministres Nobusuke Kishi, Hayato Ikeda, Kakuei Tanaka, Masayoshi Ohira, Zenko Suzuki, Yasuhiro Nakasone, Noboru Takeshita, Toshiki Kaifu, Tomiichi Murayama, Ryutaro Hashimoto, Keizo Obuchi, Yoshiro Mori et Jun'ichiro Koizumi ont visité le Canada. Les premiers ministres canadiens John Diefenbaker, Pierre Trudeau, Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, et Paul Martin ont visité le Japon.

Au cours de cette période, le premier ministre Mulroney a présenté des excuses à la Chambre des communes du Canada pour le traitement injuste des Nippo-Canadiens pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale. En réponse à l'internement, le premier ministre Mulroney et le président de l'association nationale des Nippo-Canadiens ont signé un accord de réparation visant à régler les dernières questions historiques en 1988.

En 2008, le premier ministre Harper a été reçu au palais impérial de Tokyo, marquant le  du début des relations diplomatiques officielles entre le Canada et le Japon. En , l'empereur Akihito et l'impératrice Michiko ont fait une visite d'État au Canada.

Commerce
En 2006, le Japon était la troisième destination des exportations canadiennes (2,1 %) et la quatrième source des importations (3,9 %). Les principales exportations du Japon concernent les automobiles.

Migration
L'émigration japonaise vers le Canada a commencé dans les années 1800 et fut très forte jusqu'à ce que des restrictions soient mises en place à la fin du siècle. Japantown à Vancouver était autrefois un centre de la vie nippo-canadienne, bien que ces dernières années, la communauté japonaise ne soit plus basée dans ce secteur.

In the vm I installed django.
I then activated the vm.
Now.. i started by trying to execute simple commands in the terminal like python manage.py startapp deonapp and python manage.py runserver but each time I get an error which I pasted below.. What did I miss? I cannot seem to find the /log/ directory?

ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'file': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/deon/Documents/PyCharmProjects/Developments/deonproject/log/debug.log'

A: You do not have path to a log file for some reason (/Users/deon/Documents/PyCharmProjects/Developments/deonproject/log). Make sure that all directories exist (if no, create them) and create an empty debug.log log file (just in case).
What happens is there is some problem with your code happening. Handler catches this error to save it to your log file so that you can analyze it. However, the path to log file it is trying to open does not exist. Thus, exception occures during handling of another exception.

A: In case someone get it useful: In my case the error was triggered by a permissions issue. Once i change permissions and let app user write in folder this was solved.

A: I also faced the same issue, in my case the permissions of the logging file was not right.
so i changed the permissions to read and write to all user with the cmd

sudo chmod a+rwx debug.log

A: In my Django project, I implemented some logic that would handle a situation like this:
we can declare some log-path, and if it doesn't exist we can create the path:
# LOGGING
LOG_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'log')
LOG_FILE = '/api.log'
LOG_PATH = LOG_DIR + LOG_FILE

if not os.path.exists(LOG_DIR):
    os.mkdir(LOG_DIR)

if not os.path.exists(LOG_PATH):
    f = open(LOG_PATH, 'a').close() #create empty log file
else:
    f = open(LOG_PATH,"w").close() #clear log file

Then in our Logging dict we can add the following to our "file" section of the handlers
LOGGING = {
  ...
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
           ...
            'filename': LOG_PATH,
           ...
        },
        'console': {
           ...
        }
    },

}

A: *

*Check whether log file exist in /Users/deon/Documents/PyCharmProjects/Developments/deonproject/log/debug.log location.

*Check these location have proper write permission
In my case the ransomware protection was turned on and it preventing it from permission issue

*Open the Code editor RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR mode

A: your log path does not exist.
Make sure this path exists
'/Users/deon/Documents/PyCharmProjects/Developments/deonproject/log/debug.log'

A: In my case it was due to permission denied as django commands were executed as not owner of the logger files

A: For example if your handler is configured as
"handlers": {
        "console": {
            "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
            "formatter": "console",
        },
        "file": {
            "level": "INFO",
            "class": "logging.FileHandler",
            "formatter": "file",
            "filename": "logs/jirate.log",<-----
        },
        "django.server": DEFAULT_LOGGING["handlers"]["django.server"],
    },

ensure that you have the folder logs created in the same level as your manage.py. Django will automatically create the jirate.log file

A: This error can be caused if you haven't created the folder of logs file

*

*Go to the setting.py file and check the path of your logs file

*Follow the path and create the folder

Q: Jekyll Serve command not working - Errors include MissingDependencyException and MissingSpecError As the title above says, I'm trying to build a site on localhost with jekyll serve but I keep getting several errors.
I've done all the steps described here to build my site, but nothing seems to work. I've tried several troubleshooting sources I found online, as well.
Also, the directory I'm trying to build with is a local GitHub repository.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

A: Nvm, I fixed it.
I ended up deleting my local repository and cloning it remotely from GitHub. That didn't solve it immediately, but the Gemfile on my local repository was from before I started having issues.
After that, I then kept getting an error where the version of Jekyll was incompatible with building GitHub pages. This page had the answer I needed - which was just changing the version number for gem "jekyll" in the Gemfile for the directory.
Finally, I ran a bundle exec jekyll serve and I got my localhost to run!


Recent applications of molecular genetics to edaphic microbial communities of the McMurdo Dry Valleys and elsewhere have rejected a long-held belief that Antarctic soils contain extremely limited microbial diversity. The Inter-Valley Soil Comparative Survey aims to elucidate the factors shaping these unique microbial communities and their biogeography by integrating molecular genetic approaches with biogeochemical analyses. Although the microbial communities of Dry Valley soils may be complex, there is little doubt that the ecosystem's food web is relatively simple, and evidence suggests that physicochemical conditions may have the dominant role in shaping microbial communities. To examine this hypothesis, bacterial communities from representative soil samples collected in four geographically disparate Dry Valleys were analyzed using molecular genetic tools, including pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene PCR amplicons. Results show that the four communities are structurally and phylogenetically distinct, and possess significantly different levels of diversity. Strikingly, only 2 of 214 phylotypes were found in all four valleys, challenging a widespread assumption that the microbiota of the Dry Valleys is composed of a few cosmopolitan species. Analysis of soil geochemical properties indicated that salt content, alongside altitude and Cu2+, was significantly correlated with differences in microbial communities. Our results indicate that the microbial ecology of Dry Valley soils is highly localized and that physicochemical factors potentially have major roles in shaping the microbiology of ice-free areas of Antarctica. These findings hint at links between Dry Valley glacial geomorphology and microbial ecology, and raise previously unrecognized issues related to environmental management of this unique ecosystem.

How to Convert a Normal Hot Tub Into a Saltwater One
By Chris Deziel, Building Contractor

Chris Deziel is a contractor, builder and general fix-it pro who has been active in the construction trades for 40 years. He has degrees in science and humanities and years of teaching experience. An avid craftsman and musician, Deziel began writing on home improvement topics in 2010. He worked as an expert consultant with eHow Now and Pro Referral -- a Home Depot site. A DIYer by nature, Deziel regularly shares tips and tricks for a better home and garden at Hunker and Family Handyman.
Converting your hot tub to saltwater doesn't mean you're going to fill it with seawater. You'll be adding salt, but at nowhere near the concentration found in the ocean. The heart of the conversion is a chlorinator that converts the salt to free chlorine. After the chlorine does its job killing pathogens and purifying the water, it combines again with sodium to form salt, and it gets recycled back through the chlorinator indefinitely.
Before considering installing a chlorine generator on your hot tub, check with the manufacturer's specifications to ensure saltwater is recommended for your model. Not all hot tubs are good candidates for a saltwater conversion. If yours is suitable, consider the following points:
Saltwater systems aren't maintenance free. The generator includes a cell system that must be removed and cleaned -- usually in an acid solution -- every few months.
Your hot tub water won't be chlorine-free, and if the salt levels falls below a certain safe value, you may have to shock the water -- significantly increase the chlorine levels to kill bacteria -- with calcium hypochlorite or regular pool chlorine.
The system will cost several hundred dollars, and you'll have to replace the cells every year and a half at a cost of several hundred more. Besides the salt -- which is inexpensive -- you'll need other chemicals and test implements -- which may not as inexpensive.
Despite these drawbacks, you may find that a saltwater system makes your hot tub more comfortable and pleasant to use, and you may find the water gentler on your skin than water containing calcium hypochlorite. Moreover, because the chlorine generator does not produce chloramines, the water is free of the chlorine odor.
Get Ready, Go
Once you've found a generator that is suitable for your hot tub -- preferably through consultation with your spa dealer -- you need to drain the existing water and refill the tub with clear water before you can use it. Take this opportunity to clean the tub thoroughly, removing sand and other dirt from the bottom with a sponge and scrubbing algae from the water line with detergent and water.
In some cases, installation of the cell is painless -- you can choose a smallish cylinder that hangs over the side of the tub or a flat panel that floats in the water. You may also opt for a system in which the cell is plumbed into the hot tub tubing. You should choose this system only if you have a 24-hour circulation pump with 3/4-inch tubing. The chlorinator is attached by a cord to a control system that you screw to a nearby surface, such as a wall or post. The control system, in turn, plugs into a conventional GFCI-protected 120-volt outlet. Systems tend to be energy efficient, drawing as little as 50 watts when operating.
Once the generator is in place, you add salt to the water. Although the salt isn't much different from table salt, it needs to be purer -- additives in table salt can foul the cells, leading to premature failure. Check with the dealer from whom you buy the system for the best salt to use and mix it thoroughly in the water in the recommended proportion.
The system continually recycles the salt, so you don't have to add salt very often; many systems monitor the salt level and tell you when it falls below the recommended value -- typically 3,000 to 4,000 ppm. If your system doesn't do this automatically, you'll have to do it, using test strips. You should never add salt prematurely -- if the system gets over-salted, the chlorinator won't function properly, and you'll have to drain the water and start over. If, on the other hand, the salt level falls too low, algae may start to form, requiring the addition of calcium hypochlorite to shock the water.
