Hey Naughty, hope your weekend is great also. Hope everybody has an awesome and safe weekend and 4th of July.
The good news is the vegetables I planted are doing much better where I weeded. The bad news is I am behind with the weeding and there are lots of weeds. The beans did not germinate well, but the carrots germinated very very well. I broke my wrist bicycling June 22 and have now had the cast off for just over a week. I can weed longer each session now, so those pesky weeds will get their "come uppance"! The irises and lilacs have bloomed and the pesky squirrels stole my strawberries from the planter. The motion sensor sprinkler in the vegetable garden is doing a grand job. The cats stay out, the crows stay away, and the squirrels have figured out just how far way the sensor can spot them. The front flower garden has been wonderful... a steady sequence of different flowers... daffodils, narcissus (narcissuses? narcissi?), arctic phlox. Now there will be a pause until the flame lilies and the bachelor buttons take over. And then the gladiolas will bloom in the back garden. I trimmed the spruce trees on Thusday and discovered a neat bird nest in one of the branches. And every week it is mow the lawn... but it looks lovely after it is done. And to end the update with more information than you want... the composters are working very well this year! Lots of happy bacterial action!

Canada's green policies put people of colour at the back of the bus
Erica Ifill in a photograph provided by Ms. Ifill
Like Donald Trump's latest idiotic tweet, climate change is trending. But, as usual, communities of colour are back of the bus when it comes to environmental protection in Canada.
Didn't see that coming.
Like everything else, climate change and the environmental policies surrounding it have been gentrified to appeal to comfortable white existences while ignoring communities of colour, who are still fighting for environmental justice.
And we have an environment minister — Catherine McKenna — who has yet to acknowledge the unequal distribution of concern for various areas hit by environmental upheaval.
Case in point: the 2019 Ottawa floods. Amid countless stories of mainly white flooding victims, did anyone bother to care about the members of the Kashechewan First Nation, a community on James Bay's western shore that faces chronic flooding, chronic upheaval and chronic suffering?
The federal government has long promised to relocate the nation to higher ground. In 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government signed an agreement to that effect. A revised version of the deal was signed in May by Indigenous Services Minister and human participation ribbon Seamus O'Regan. But, so far, funds have not been allocated to achieve that end.
The minister has said, "We are working on it."
Who needs environmental justice when we have the assurance of Seamus "never met a tone-deaf tweet I didn't like" O'Regan? This is what sustainable white supremacy looks like. Much of the policy dedicated to the climate change crisis ignores how effects are distributed throughout the country and who bears the brunt of those effects.
Environmental justice is a response to environmental racism, which is the systematic and systemic dispossession of racialized and Indigenous communities of the right to lives of environmental quality comparable to their white counterparts. The term describes inequities resulting from the disproportionate burden borne by communities of colour and Indigenous peoples because of environmental degradation. And instead of addressing these inequities, we buy pipelines.
The geographic distribution of landfills, toxic waste dumps and other hazardous waste is asymmetrically located near communities of colour, the working poor (who are made up disproportionately of people of colour and immigrants and refugees) and Indigenous communities.
Grassy Narrows is one of the most infamous cases that has cemented itself in the national consciousness after decades of obscurity. It's basically become the hot girl in the club of Indigenous issues — everybody flexed from Andrew Scheer to Trudeau to Niki Ashton. The dumping of mercury by Reed Paper (Dryden Chemicals Ltd was a subsidiary) in Dryden, Ont., in the 1970s was disregarded by the Ontario government, which "declined to take action for decades, largely ignoring the suffering of the Grassy Narrows First Nation and Wabaseemoong peoples. Over and over, the Ontario government chose to do nothing. It chose not to remove the sediment, not to investigate in more detail, not to monitor whether mercury levels were indeed declining. In other words, it chose to allow the ongoing poisoning of the communities." This was the statement of the 2017 environmental report from Ontario's Environment Commissioner Dianne Saxe. With oversight such as that shown by the Province of Ontario, Grassy Narrows has more to fear from its own government than from any other entity.
And when protesters demanding action on Grassy Narrows dared interrupt moneyed and privileged white people at a Liberal fundraising event, they were mocked for their efforts. Although the Prime Minister, or The Mocker, apologized and promised remediation, it has yet to arrive. When asked why, the refrain was — you guessed it — "We're working on it".
Africville is another example of environmental racism. Initially settled by runaway slaves, Africville was a small community of Black Canadians to whom many of the indispensable services expected from a municipal government, such as sanitation and water services, were never extended. On top of that, the City of Halifax, as well as various companies, dumped its garbage in the community, exposing Black Canadians to untold levels of toxic waste poisoning throughout the twentieth century.
The Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health (ENRICH) Project tracks the location of waste facilities and their proximity to Black and Indigenous communities and the pattern is unmistakable. These dumping decisions are made at the government level and represent a type of environmental terrorism that causes generational trauma to those who lose loved ones due to adverse psychological and physical health effects.
Suddenly Canada doesn't look that different from that country that keeps children in cages.

Glen Currie | Fri, 06/28/2019 - 20:33
Regarding the example set by the powers-that -be who created and exacerbated the Africville crime -against -humanity , be it known that it was not limited to the generations-long denial of common, municipal services( water, sewer, street maintenance , street lighting, paving, ( remember, this was in the middle of the provincial capital), police protection, mail delivery, etc. . They bribed, or attempted to bribe , elderly, unsophisticated black elders with suitcases filled with ONE-DOLLAR BILLS and threatened the struggling parents of families who had occupied those lots for many generations with EXPROPRIATION of those lands AND , in a final act of dismissal of any regard for humanity, MOVED THEM BY THROWING THEIR BELONGINGS onto City-owned GARBAGE trucks!!!
And the passage of time has not changed a damn thing; in Lincolnville, there has still, after decades of quiet, reasoned representation to government by the residents , been no movement toward restoring pure , unpolluted drinking water to the long-suffering, population of that historic, community of colour who lost their access to good well-water because of illegal , longterm dumping in their community by indifferent outsiders who discounted them entirely as citizens of the province and nation we like to pretend accepts all as equals under the law . When the garbage trucks dumped their loads at Uniacke Square , the " new, modern, community "( read : PROJECT!) and, after the guts had been ripped out of the century-plus community with the unceremonious smashing of the church, homes and the human construct of familial roots, interconnections and history, there was nothing left either got the people or in the people. Africville was dead. Now , the city wonders why young black men object to street checks, why black families lack hope and why black children cannot take their rightful place in the fabric of the province and nation! This is what happens when a society waged WAR on a PEOPLE! This is what happens when one part of our society removes everything from another that defines it , that supports it and nourishes it! This is what it is to have NO COMMUNITY! A living death.

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Dozens held signs and waved Guam's flag during a rally for peace on Monday, following a week of heated exchanges between Pyongyang and Washington and a threat from North Korea to fire missiles into the ocean near the U.S. territory.
Monaeka Flores, 39, said the sounding of the shell was a call for people to "rise up and fight against the oppression and potential violence." The shell was sounded to urge people to stand in solidarity with Guam's indigenous Chamorro people and the people of the world, she said.
Some women wore traditional floral head crowns called mwarmwars. Some men wore sinahi, or traditional loincloth.
New United Nations sanctions condemning the North's rapidly developing nuclear program drew fresh ire and threats from Pyongyang last week. Trump, responding to a report that U.S. intelligence indicates Pyongyang can now put a nuclear warhead on its long-range missiles, vowed to rain down "fire and fury" if challenged.
The U.S. territory is a small island about 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) from Pyongyang. It's a popular destination for tourists from Japan and South Korea and an important base for the U.S. military.

Q: Get User Final Location IOS I'm doing a query inside of:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations{
    if (!gotLocation){
        gotLocation = true;
        [locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
        // DO QUERY
    }
}

But I would like to know when the final location is set, or when a more accurate one is made. I'm trying to query only once and need a precise location for the query. I know I can use [locations lastObject], but how can I determine when the final or a more precise location is set.

A: You can check the location's horizontalAccuracy. The smaller the value the more accurate. You should hold a reference to the last location you received then when a new location comes in that is more accurate, the horizontalAccuracy is smaller, updated your reference.
Then once you receive a location with a horizontalAccuracy close enough for your use case then you can call stopUpdatingLocation since you have your location, then do your query.
For example:
CLLocation *location = [locations lastObject];
if (location.horizontalAccuracy < self.lastLocation.horizontalAccuracy) {
    self.lastLocation = location;
    if (self.lastLocation.horizontalAccuracy <= kDesiredLocationAccuracy) {
        // execute query or additional logic
        [locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
    }
}

Hope that helps!

Elon Musk's proposals go wrong
Published on 10/15/2022 1:58 p.m.
L.De la Mornais, B.Laigle, Z.Boughzou – franceinfo
Elon Musk is in turmoil. The billionaire offered his solutions to settle the war in Ukraine. This position could lead to strategic military changes.
Elon Musk ewas thanked as a hero, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and other actors, friends of Ukraine. On the posters of the city of Odessa (Ukraine)his portrait was covered up. A few months ago, however, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX was erected as the savior of the Ukrainian nation, after having provided it with nearly 20,000 terminals star link. This system makes it possible to provide Internet in the most remote areas. The tool was decisive for the communications and guidance of the Ukrainian army.
ten days ago, Elon Musk posted on Twitter a proposed peace plan between Ukraine and Russia. In particular, he suggests that Crimea remain integral part of Russia, and that the referendums are re-voted in the indexed regions, under the supervision of the UN. The Kremlin spokesman thanked Elon Musk for his positive approach, praising his talent as a diplomat. Ukrainian officials are less complimentary. "Fuck you is my very diplomatic response to you, Elon Musk", replied Andrij Meklnykan ambassador. Since then, cuts of Starkink were recorded on the front, crippling the Ukrainian army. Technical bug, or retaliation? For analysts, the billionaire's strategy is unclear.

Elderly tiger with arthritis needs second hip replacement surgery after dislodging implant
Malena, a 10-year-old Amur Tiger, suffers from arthritis and underwent a groundbreaking operation on Wednesday — but now she'll have to go under the knife once more
Sophie BatemanAssistant News Editor
Elderly tiger Malena needs a second hip replacement surgery (Image: CZS)
A rare tiger will have to go under the knife for a second time after her first hip replacement became dislodged.
Malena, a 10-year-old Amur Tiger, has lived at the Brookfield Zoo — also known as the Chicago Zoological Park — since June.
She suffers from arthritis which causes pain and swelling in her joints.
On Wednesday animal surgeons carried out a total hip arthroplasty, using a custom-made orthopaedic implant that had been 3D-printed especially for the 250-pound big cat.
Stunning photos show an anaesthetised Malena lying on her stomach on the operating table while surgeons placed the custom implant in her femur, a process that took eight hours.
Malena will require a second operation after dislodging her implant (Image: ABC7 Chicago)
It's believed to be the first time such a procedure has been carried out on a zoo animal in North America.
The operation was a success and Malena seemed to be doing well until the night, when she became too active and accidentally dislodged the implant in her femur.
Now the tiger will need a second surgery in order for surgeons to remove the displaced implant and perform a "femoral head and neck excision", the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The surgery took eight hours to perform (Image: ABC7 Chicago)

The operation is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 30, at the same animal hospital she had the first surgery.
Dr Mike Adkesson, vice president of clinical medicine for the Chicago Zoological Society, said in a statement: "We knew going into this groundbreaking surgery that there was a risk of complications given the incredible forces generated from a tiger's leg muscles.
"However, with the severity of Malena's arthritis, we also knew surgical intervention was the best option to keep her comfortable."
Malena has been living at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo since June
He added: "Going into surgery, we knew if it was not successful, we still had a secondary option to relieve her discomfort.
"While she won't have the high level of function we were hoping to restore with the innovative total hip replacement, Malena will be able to move around comfortably without pain in her hip."
Amur tigers are only expected to live 10 to 14 years in the wild, so Malena is considered elderly.

Seattle For Beginners: Top 7 Things to Do
by Jules on April 14, 2014
With a long-established music, TV and film pedigree, Seattle is on many travellers' must-visit lists, but if you're new to the 'Emerald City', these are our tips for the top 7 things to do:
Browse Pike Place Market – Start your exploration of Seattle at the world renowned Pike Place Market which is brimming with local crafts, speciality foods and fresh produce. Established in 1917, this mighty market spans some seven hectares in downtown Seattle. Watch the vendors setting up their stalls for the day, throw a penny in 'Rachel', the bronze piggy bank and grab a coffee at Starbucks – it was established right here in 1971 don't you know!
Admire the view from Seattle waterfront – Located just a few minutes away from Pike Place Market is the chilled out waterfront area. Imbibe the views of Elliott Bay and the looming Olympic Mountains range which dominates the city. Admire the twenty or so large sculptures within the Olympic Sculpture Park, which is one of the many free things to do in Seattle.
Hang out in Pioneer Square – This is Seattle's oldest, and probably most cultural neighbourhood, brimming with art galleries, antiques stores, bookshops, trendy restaurants and lively nightclubs where you can while away many an hour. Easily accessed from the Downtown district, sections of Pioneer Square features quaint cobblestoned streets, red brick buildings and traditional horse-drawn carriages.
Get high at the Seattle Center – Take the elevator up to the observation deck of the Space Needle, which at 520 feet tall, dominates the city's skyline. Originally built for the World Fair in 1962, it's a great way to take in the sights – but check the weather forecast first!
Be inspired at the Chihuly Garden and Glass – This fascinating gallery in the heart of Seattle focuses on the works of the American glass sculptor Dale Chihuly. The eight inside galleries explore the influences that inspired the Washington born artist. His unique large scale pieces feature throughout the building and flow into the lush gardens and the impressive glasshouse, which is undoubtedly the centerpiece.
Explore the city's Museums – It's no understatement to say that Seattle is bursting with museums! Take your pick from the arts, pop culture, nature and science, maritime, history, military, aviation and so many more! If I had to pick just three (tough call) I would opt for the Museum of Flight which has an intriguing collection of air and space collections within the USA, including the very first Air Force One. Next up I would explore the kid-friendly Seattle Children's Museum which has fantastic hands-on exhibits and then also the landmark Seattle Asian Art Museum which is home to some elegant and mesmerising collections of Chinese, Japanese and Korean art from around the world. The multitude of museums are a popular option for those rainy days in Seattle!
Ride the Washington State Ferries – the Downtown ferries leave from Colman Dock at the southern end of the waterfront. Hop onboard to visit nearby Bainbridge Island where you can go trekking, sailing, sailing, hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. Or take the scenic route to Bremerton, whose downtown area (which is close to the dock) has a good selection of galleries, museums, shops and theatres.

The journey along the Thames for Sunseeker International's eagerly anticipated 131 Yacht launch at the London Boat Show was a major logistical exercise as London City Airport temporarily closed a runway to allow the 131 feet superyacht (40 metres) to pass through King George V Lock.
The 131 Yacht will be the largest model ever to make its debut at the London Boat Show at Excel. She will be displayed alongside the collection of other Sunseeker models ranging from 50 feet upwards.
The luxury yacht maker has confirmed that demand for their new model is already high, with the first five already pre-sold to customers around the globe.
The five vessels are already in build at Sunseeker's facilities in Poole, Dorset. With demand so high on this model, Sunseeker International will be hosting exclusive previews of the 131 Yacht for customers which will include a private transfer by an Airbus Helicopter H135 from their homes to Excel during the show.
The Sunseeker 131 enables its owner to tailor every element of the interior design and layout to their personal preferences via the boat builders''Bespoke' service. Standard guest configuration is for 10 guests in five cabins, with scope for up to 12 to be accommodated depending on the layout and options selected. The spacious garage can accommodate a tender of up to 6.0m in length plus two PWCs.
A standout feature is the addition of feature glass in the master stateroom, saloon and upper saloon to create a light filled and comfortable environment for owner and guests.
The 131 Yacht will make its world premiere at London Boat Show from 8th to 17th January 2016.


Dad's are born in this world with faulty wiring below the body panel. Depending on the era there were no inspectors present to send them back for an overhaul - so you get what you get. Not a bad thing, just more delicious humor.
Pops stood six foot six - bald in his early twenties and with thick black frame glasses looking like an economist at a farm auction. I truly don't know what that means other than he was a blend of things beyond description. Wait a minute – the final touch – the ever present baseball cap.
After college we rarely spoke until old age – he saw me as a peacenik commie - I him - the Imperial Wizard. He was all turn of the century Southern white male never really warming to emancipation.
After cable arrived you could walk in his house and he'd be sitting in the recliner with FOX News posted past ear splitting and he'd be talking to Bill O'Reilly. 'You're right Bill,' then he'd asked the house – 'Did you hear what Bill said – or he'd say – 'They caught another one' - whatever that meant. He was like our favourite cartoon. Most days he was blowing angry in that chair waiting to steam sand furniture and you could sense it coming. He'd make this spitting sound like a goose blowing pumpkin seeds – 'Sput, sput, sput'.. and of course we'd go into a laughing frenzy. In fact, my side of the family, brother Wayne, my late sister Karen, Jesse , Kris and I never stop laughing – so the old man just egged us on. It was truly his glorious fault.
Dad fished from the first breath of morning past the last meal at night. Fish jumped hurdles in his dreams. The guy had two fishing camps – one down in Kentucky another in Belle Glade, Florida. I'd call home from the road and ask mother what's dad up to and she'd say fishing and she'd ask me – 'Are you working?' End of conversation in fact the same conversation rolled on forty plus years.
Pops dressed in a tan jumpsuit with fish emblems pasted from head to boot. There were stuffed fish on the walls – one that laughed on the mantel – gorgeous collection of lures and poles on the back porch. With this in mind the old man became fascinated with video cameras. I have no recollection when.
I drop in for Christmas and I see racks of VHS tapes. Most were his collection of the bombing of Dresden and Hitler's march across Europe. Get past that and you get to the meat of my dad Barney Fellini.
"You boys want to see something I shot at camp." I'm thinking sure – haven't seen the place or the people. So, full of excitement he stuffs the large cassette through the mouth of the player and sits back for a screening.
First thing you sense is the sound – dad talking to ducks. "Were here in Florida and the weather is nice – oh there they are ducks on the pond." OK cool- .. forty minutes in and brother Wayne asks – is this all there is? " Pops hesitates, Well – mother's coming up." Another five minutes goes by of Zen watching when a voice returns – "Mother can you move in a little?" Little did we know pops didn't believe in panning. So mom keeps moving to the left until in full view. Now, mother's biggest life move is standing with hands to the side of the body – we called that emotion. She moved as if this was a session of still photography. Then says – "Can I go?" End of film.
I surmised dad had developed his own style which I call the surveillance technique. He'd just stick a camera on you – never move and leave it there.
God bless him because he found another passion in life that stayed with him until he died.
One last story. So pops calls and says – 'I made a film of that jazz bird you like." I'm thinking – what is a jazz bird. Then I remembered from youth everyone he had an issue with was a bird. Lord knows why.
God bless pops and the fish that took him.

Introduction Undernutrition affects ∼165 million children globally and contributes up to 45% of all child deaths. India has the highest proportion of global undernutrition-related morbidity and mortality. This protocol describes the planned economic evaluation of a community-based intervention to improve growth in children under 2 years of age in two rural districts of eastern India. The intervention is being evaluated through a cluster-randomised controlled trial (cRCT, the CARING trial).
Methods and analysis A cost-effectiveness and cost–utility analysis nested within a cRCT will be conducted from a societal perspective, measuring programme, provider, household and societal costs. Programme costs will be collected prospectively from project accounts using a standardised tool. These will be supplemented with time sheets and key informant interviews to inform the allocation of joint costs. Direct and indirect costs incurred by providers will be collected using key informant interviews and time use surveys. Direct and indirect household costs will be collected prospectively, using time use and consumption surveys. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) will be calculated for the primary outcome measure, that is, cases of stunting prevented, and other outcomes such as cases of wasting prevented, cases of infant mortality averted, life years saved and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted to assess the robustness of results.
Ethics and dissemination There is a shortage of robust evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of strategies to improve early child growth. As this economic evaluation is nested within a large scale, cRCT, it will contribute to understanding the fiscal space for investment in early child growth, and the relative (in)efficiency of prioritising resources to this intervention over others to prevent stunting in this and other comparable contexts. The protocol has all necessary ethical approvals and the findings will be disseminated within academia and the wider policy sphere.

You may be facing the more common laptop problems. Troubleshooting them is your first logical course of action.
If you are facing problem with battery then, you may assume that the battery has simply died out, and purchasing a replacement results in unnecessary expense. Before you go out and get a new battery therefore, you will have to determine if your issues have to do with a frayed wire or damaged connector. If this is the case, these common laptop problems can be resolved by a quick soldering job or a bit of electrical tape.
If your laptop's LCD appears dead, a defective motherboard or video adapter could be the cause of your problem. In some cases, a failed inverter or backlight may be the cause. If the LCD is indeed damaged, this will necessitate a troublesome and costly repair. When faced with this situation, you will have to decide if you are better off buying a new laptop instead of repairing the old one. Such is the case when you are faced with a defective motherboard as well.
A malfunctioning CD or DVD drive is another matter. Before reaching for your screwdriver, try out several different discs and see if the problem lies in only a few CDs. You could also try cleaning the lens of the drive with anyone of the many commercially available drive lens cleaners on the market. Finally, you may want to open up your laptop and check if the connection has somehow worked loose. When all else fails, you may have to replace the defective drive with a new one.
The first step in troubleshooting common laptop problems is determining which components are still working normally. If your laptop refuses to start up for instance, you will want to find out if power is indeed coming in. If the LED on the power supply is lit up, and is therefore functioning as normal, then you probably have more serious problem on your hands. Keep in mind that power issues aren't anything to mess with if you don't know what you're doing, so it may be best to seek qualified help.
If you have other specific laptop problems then, post them in the comment box below. We will try to find out solutions for you.


A Hudson Valley man is behind bars after he allegedly made a terroristic threat.
On Sept. 26, members of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office received a complaint that 55-year-old John Moran of Kingston threatened violence to employees at the Ulster County Department of Social Services. The threat was made by telephone, police say.
On Saturday, following a nearly two-month investigation, Moran was charged with making a terroristic threat, a felony. He was arraigned in Town of Ulster Justice Court and remanded to the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail and $50,000 secured bond.
An order of protection was issued on behalf of the commissioner of the Ulster County Department of Social Services and his employees. Police didn't go into details about the nature of the alleged threat.

Q: Should I use 'memcpy' on class that contains a virtual method?If not, how to replace it? Here is my simplified code,
class ParentDict {
public:
    virtual some_func();
    virtual reorganize() = 0;

protected:
    int _ssize;
    int _lsize;
}

class ChildDict : public ParentDict {
public:
    virtual some_func();
    virtual reorganize();  // deserialize _arrays here;

private:
    int _array_num;
    char* _arrays;
}

ChildDict* deserialize(void* pool, uint64_t offset) {
    void *ptr = (void *)((uint64_t)pool + offset);
    ChirdDict dict = *((ChildDict *) ptr);

    // HERE is the problem code
    memcpy((void *)ptr, &dict, sizeof(ptr));

    ((ChildDict *) ptr)->reorganize();
    return (ChildDict *)ptr;
}

This code is trying to deserialize some class from file, and it works well. But the CPP-rules-checking-system keeps complaining about Using 'memcpy' on class that contains a virtual method.
I wonder what does memcpy has done here. Maybe it is not safe to use memcpy on virtual class, but why the code works here? Can I replace it with better solutions?

A: To actually give an answer: To avoid memcopy, you have two major options:

*

*Create custom serialize and deserialize functions that form or interpret a byte array "manually". Or if data size is not mattering too much, turn the data into a string with some delimiter between the variables.

*Put all members that require serialization in a simple struct without virtual functions and make such a struct, a member of your classes.

'Huge regional opportunities': UniSC partners with Comlink Australia on future of aged care
Future roads could be built using asphalt made from grass cuttings and 'carbon capturing' cement, supported by £30 million UK Government funding awarded to seven innovative, net zero projects.
North Lanarkshire is one of the schemes spread across the UK to have been awarded funding today through the Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads competition. The programme supports projects led by Local Highways Authorities focused on tackling the long-term decarbonisation of highways infrastructure, such as streetlights, and transforming local authorities' approach to decarbonising roads.
Building a decarbonised road network requires materials that can stand up to the requirements and are innovative in combating carbon emissions. North Lanarkshire Council's project will look to create a centre that will develop a materials testing programme to identify and deploy the latest tech for road construction, in addition to testing and deploying recycled materials from other industries to build roads.
UK Government Minister for Scotland John Lamont said:
It's great to see Scottish expertise leading the way in developing innovative solutions for our drive to net zero.
Sharing £30 million UK Government investment with six other projects, North Lanarkshire Council – working with partners such as the Society of Chief Officers of Transportation in Scotland, Clackmannanshire Council, Ayrshire Roads Alliance and Heriot Watt University – will use its £4.6 million allocation to help the UK become a global leader in making road networks green.
The testing they'll carry out – including investigating how waste destined for landfill can be recycled – will help reduce the carbon footprint from the production, transportation and maintenance of road surfaces, signage, crash barriers and kerbs.
Roads Minister Richard Holden said:
The UK is a world leader in technology and innovation and we must use that strength to drive decarbonisation and the next generation of high-tech jobs that go alongside it. We are supporting this vital agenda to help level-up through £30 million funding for ground-breaking projects and boosting regional connections to support growth. The Government is determined to create good, well-paid jobs – via innovation and investment across the UK – as we accelerate the road to net zero.
Councillor Jim Logue, Leader of North Lanarkshire Council said:
North Lanarkshire Council, Transport for West Midlands and partners are delighted to be collaborating to create the UK Centre of Excellence for Materials Decarbonisation. This is an enormously important and innovative programme with a major focus on decarbonising all road types, changing how our sector works and reducing our impact on the environment, while meeting our collective objective for a net zero future.
We aim to be leaders in the UK in this field and the reference point for the promotion and knowledge share for decarbonisation in highways materials. As we progress, we hope to provide national standards for other public services and a tangible exportable asset for the UK.
Live Labs 2 is designed to ensure innovations are shared across the whole of the UK and bidders were encouraged to create partnerships across the public and private sector, and academia. As such, North Lanarkshire's winning project successfully showed to be working across the four interconnected themes:
A green carbon laboratory: Examining the role that non-operational highways 'green' assets can play in providing a source of materials and fuels to decarbonise highway operations, for example, using biomass from green waste to create alternative fuels and asphalt additives.
A future lighting testbed: Researching the future of lighting for local roads to determine what is needed in the future and how they can be further decarbonised.
A UK centre of excellence for materials: Providing a centralised hub for research and innovation that would help test construction materials and their use.
Corridor and place-based decarbonisation: Working to create decarbonisation across specific, wider regions and corridors covering both urban and rural areas.
Live Labs 2 is funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) and organised by The Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning & Transport (ADEPT), which represents 'directors of place' who are responsible for providing day-to-day services, such as local highways, as well as strategic long-term delivery.
Mark Kemp, President of ADEPT, said:
Tackling the carbon impact of our highways' infrastructure is critical to our path to net zero but hard to address, so I am pleased that bidding was so competitive. Live Labs 2 has a huge ambition – to fundamentally change how we embed decarbonisation into our decision-making and to share our learning with the wider sector to enable behaviour change. Each project will bring local authority led innovation and a collaborative approach to create a long-lasting transformation of business as usual.  I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn from our successful bidders and taking that into my own organisation.
This programme follows the previous and successful Live Labs 1, a £22.9 million innovation programme that focused on adoption of digital technology across local roads.

S. scientists have successfully built functional heart parts out of collagen using a 3D bio printer, a breakthrough they say could one day create entire organs.
3D Printing:
Three-dimensional printing (3-D printing), also known as Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer.
It is basically a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
This is opposite of 'Subtractive Manufacturing' which works on removal of material to create a desired object.
The first working 3-D printer was created in 1984 by Charles W. Hull of 3-D Systems Corp. The machine was named Sterolithgraphy Apparatus.
3D printing starts by making a virtual design of the object to be created. Virtual design can be made using a 3D modelling program such as CAD (Computer Aided Design) or 3D scanners.
The 3D digital copy is then put into a 3D modelling program. The model is then sliced into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers in preparation for printing.
This prepared file is thus uploaded in the 3D printer which reads each slices in 2D format and then proceeds to create the object layer by layer and the resulting object has no sign of layering visible, but a 3 dimensional structure.
Applications of 3D Printing:
Defence and Aerospace: At present, AM technology in the aerospace and defence sector is broadly used for prototyping, repair of small parts and component manufacturing.
Health: Hearing aids have been made using 3D printing technology.
Bio printers: Organ printing or body part printing is being printed and some parts being used as implants of actual body parts. Example: Titanium pelvic, plastic tracheal splint, titanium jaw
Tissue engineering: Tissue engineering made remarkable progress with printing of 3D blood vessels. This was achieved 3D bio-printing technology and biomaterials through vascularisation of hydrogel constructs.
Dentistry: Dental Implants are being made on a commercial level using 3D printing technology
Prosthetics: 3D printing is being used to make surrogate body parts
Artificial organ: Additive manufacturing of stem cells has also led to various possibilities in printing artificial organs, although most of the work is still in the experimental stage
Manufacturing: 3D printing can be used to manufacture varied forms of products- from car or plane parts to sport goods, toys etc.
Customised products are able to be manufactured as customers can edit the digital design file and send to the manufacturer for productions.
Domestic Usage: 3D printers can be used in the home to make small objects such as ornamental objects, small toys etc.
Architecture, housing: The technology can be used for a variety of housing projects with application in custom luxury designer homes, large scale development projects, to temporary housing projects.
It could also enable engineers to design and build stiffer and safer geometries for houses.Further, can also help engineers to rebuild and restore old heritage designs quickly yet accurately.
Food: 3D printing enables fast automated and repeatable processes, freedom in design, as well as allowing large and easy variability of the cooking process which can be customized.
Education: Affordable 3D printers in schools may be used for a variety of applications which can aid students with learning better.
India slips to 7th largest economy in 2018
India has slipped down to the 7thplace in the World Bank's global GDP rankings of 2018.
World Bank's global GDP rankings of 2018:
About the news:
India has slipped down to the 7thplace in the World Bank's global GDP rankings of 2018 with the UK and France forging ahead to the fifth and sixth.
In 2017, India had emerged as the sixth largest economy, while France was pushed to the seventh place in the global GDP league table.
The US remains the top economy with a GDP of $20.5 trillion in 2018. China was the second largest economy while Japan took the third place.
India's GDP was at $2.7 trillion in 2018, while UK and France were at $2.8trillion.
In 2017, India was at $2.65 trillion, UK at $2.64 trillion and France at $2.5 trillion.
Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code was one of the success stories of India's economic reforms says the Vice President.
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code:
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) is the new bankruptcy law which seeks to consolidate the existing frame work by creating a single law for insolvency and bankruptcy.
It was brought to reduce the delay in resolution of insolvency and bankruptcy due to multiplicity of laws-Companies Act, SARFAESI Act, Sick Industrial Companies Act, and so on.
IBC, 2016 will override other existing laws on matters pertaining to Insolvency and Bankruptcy.
Salient Features of the IBC, 2016:
A unified code for greater legal clarity.
Fixed a timeline of 180 days, extendable by another 90 days, to resolve cases of insolvency or bankruptcy.
A new regulator — Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) [under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs] to exercise regulatory oversight over insolvency professionals, insolvency professional agencies and information utilities.
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to adjudicate bankruptcy cases over companies, limited liability entities while Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) to adjudicate cases over individuals and unlimited liability partnership firms.
It allows the debtor itself to initiate the insolvency-resolution process once it has defaulted on a debt.
Prioritization of claims by different classes of creditors and enabling provisions for solving cross border insolvency.
Global coalition to protect pollinators
Nigeria becomes fourth African nation to join global coalition to protect pollinators.
Nigeria became the fourth African country to join the Global Coalition of the willing on Pollinators on July 2019.
Morroco becamea member in May 2019, Ethiopia was the first African nation to be part of this global coalition in 2017. Burundi was the second African country to join this global group.
Other non-African nations such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Dominican Republic, Ireland and Mexico had joinedthe global group last year.
Global Coalition of the Willing on Pollinators:
The organisation was formed three 2016, to follow up on the findings of IPBES Assessment on Pollinators, Pollination and Food Production, which found that many of the world's pollinator species areon the decline.
The coalition now has 28 signatories including 17 European countries, five from Latin America and the Caribbean and four from Africa.
The agreement is a stepping stone to protect pollinators since 16.5 per cent of vertebrate pollinators are threatened with global extinction, say the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments.
The assessment highlights that 75 per cent of food crops in the world and nearly 90 per cent of wild flowering plants depend, at least to some extent, on animal pollination.
Joining the coalition means adopting the following measures:
Taking action to protect pollinators and their habitats by developing and implementing national pollinator strategies
Sharing experience and lessons learnt in developing and implementing national pollinator strategies, especially knowledge on new approaches, innovations and best practices
Reaching out to seek collaboration with a broad spectrum of stakeholders—countries as well as businesses, NGOs, farmers and local communities
Developing research on pollinator conservation
Supporting and collaborating with each other—and those parties that are willing to join the coalition
UN Convention on International Settlement Agreements
The Union Cabinet approved the signing of the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements resulting from mediation by India.
United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements:
It is also known as Singapore Convention on Mediation.
It was adopted by UN General Assembly (UNGA) in December 2018.
The Convention provides a uniform and efficient framework for the enforcement of international settlement agreements resulting from mediation and for allowing parties to invoke such agreements, akin to the framework that the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York, 1958) (the "New York Convention") provides for arbitral awards.
The Convention defines two additional grounds upon which a court may, on its own motion, refuse to grant relief. Those grounds relate to the fact that a dispute would not be capable of settlement by mediation or would be contrary to public policy.
Benefits of signing for India:
Signing of the Convention will boost the confidence of the investors and shall provide a positive signal to foreign investors about India's commitment to adhere to international practice on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty
S. formally withdraws from INF arms treaty.
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty:
The Treaty is signed between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on December 1987.
A crucial Cold War-era treaty banning the development, testing and possession of short and medium range ground-launched nuclear missiles with a range of 500-5,000 km.
The INF Treaty limited the Cold War powers medium-range missiles, both conventional and nuclear.
The treaty, signed in 1987, was central to ending the arms race between the two superpowers, and protected America's NATO allies in Europe from Soviet missile attacks.
Reasons of US withdrawal
US President Trump has alleged that Russia has violated treaty and has been violating it for many years.
This violation comes after Russia's alleged development and deployment of Novator 9M729 missile (also known as SSC-8), that could strike Europe at short notice.

Q: Question migrated and my answer is no longer there, but I still got 15 points for an accept I got 15 points for an "accept" today. It was a while since I'd answered the question, so I clicked on the link in my profile to remind myself.
Here's the link from my profile that I clicked on: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6816301/seo-which-urls-are-the-best/6816457#6816457
It turns out that the question has been migrated from SO to Webmasters.
That's fair enough; it's probably better there, but I posted my answer on SO before it was moved.
What surprises me is that the question now has a different accepted answer, and in fact no longer has my answer at all.
Presumably (given that it was accepted) my answer was reasonable, so I'm surprised that it's been deleted. What's happened to it? Additionally, given that a different answer is now accepted, why have I still got the points for the acceptance?

A: Your answer is still there on StackOverflow.
When you write up an answer, it's possible for the question to be closed (or migrated) while you're still working on your post. There is a window of time after the closure when the answer will still get posted. It looks like you managed to post it during that window, so your answer didn't move to Webmasters along with the rest of the answers.
After that, I assume the asker came and accepted your answer on Stack Overflow in addition to the answer they accepted on Webmasters.


Check it out, as Moran and I share some of our thoughts based around three pivotal social albums.
Personally, I will never forget the first time I heard John Coltrane's "Alabama". It was haunting and spiritual on impact, way before I would learn of the gruesome events from which the song is inspired. Spike Lee transports us to the height of tension in the Civil Rights movement in Malcolm X, when the song is a backdrop to footage of the brutal Jim Crow South, where four black girls Addie Mae Collins (aged 14), Denise McNair (aged 11), Carole Robertson (aged 14), and Cynthia Wesley (aged 14), were killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Written and performed by Coltrane just weeks after the tragedy, I have often wondered about how he dealt with something so devastating, so I was very excited when Moran suggested we talk about this album.
Nina Simone is someone I was late to discover. Growing up, I was enthralled with the "singer's singers" of jazz, and had not really given much thought to the magnitude of Nina Simone until I had, as my elders would say, "done some livin". Now that I have done just that, and more specifically, become a mother of a son who will become a Black man in America, the significance of Nina Simone in my life has increased exponentially. Moran suggested we talk about this album in particular because of "Young, Gifted and Black", which for me, feels more like the Black National Anthem than the actual one. It is the anthem which spoke to the time, and I think this makes it personal to me.

I went out with my daughter and nephew to try one last time, being Sunday at 2pm.
The wind sucked!!! We drove around through all the spots I know.... nothing.
Then, we spot a flock of 5-6 birds, all toms, fighting!!!
and they are still there!!! I have my daughter and nephew belly crawl to the stonewall, on the field edge, behind a bush.
the wind made all this happen. Taylor tells my nephew that they are too far for her, so he pulls up the H&R single shot 10ga!!!! 3 1/2" #5's.
made a 50+ yards shot. What a hunt!!
There comes a time in the life of every program when it is necessary to shoot the engineers.
FYI, the shotgun used was the gun I hydo-dipped last March.
Good deal. The flock I saw was about 70 yards, and I only had a 20 gauge, so I would have needed to close the distance.
I know what you meant about yesterday. I packed it in around 11:30 because the weather was getting crazy.
Never knew anybody to use a 10 ga in the field. Its always been a sort of range novelty, and a rare one at that. Must be expensive to feed.
Way to get it done! Yeah, you don't hear about 10ga's anymore. Good to see it at work!

I received a free copy of this book when I signed up to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.
Allie loves storms so what better thing to do on a vacation with her uncle than go on a storm chaser tour. Little does Allie know that her life along with the lives of those she loves is about to take a tornadic turn of events.
This was a fast paced read full of twists and turns and filled with strong and well developed characters. I was swept away and look forward to seeing how the story continues. The author's use of weather and spinning it into a story was very creative.

Liquid Biopsy for Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
More in Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Circulating Cancer DNA May Aid Lymphoma Detection
By Tom Iarocci, MD
TEK IMAGE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Images
Biopsy—taking a sample of the suspicious tissue for laboratory analysis—is generally required to make the initial diagnosis of lymphoma. Information from biopsied tissue allows oncologists to consider the cancer's molecular characteristics, or all the different nuances of the cancer cells' genes and proteins, and leverage that information to optimize treatment. Biopsies thus give doctors vital information essential for diagnosis and treatment. Despite their unquestionable value, biopsies are not without risks and limitations.
In addition, people who've been diagnosed with lymphomas also need to have their disease "sized up" at different points: initially, to see how widespread it is during staging; later on, to see that it is shrinking in response to therapy; and much later on, in monitoring, to make sure your doctors are on top of things if the cancer ever comes back after the initial treatment. Again, the value of imaging is undeniable, but imaging has its own set of drawbacks, such as exposure to radiation. That is why these tests are used conservatively so that the benefit outweighs the risks of exposure.
The Future: Branching Out From Biopsies and Scans
Today, the gold standard method for sizing up the cancer as described above is imaging. Specifically, computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning are often used for staging and to determine the cancer's response to treatment. Often the two techniques are combined, and it is called PET/CT. While these advanced imaging tests are valuable and have improved patient care in lymphoma, they are associated with exposure to radiation, costs, and in some cases, a lack of precision.
All of these things have spurred researchers' interest in finding newer, more precise, less costly and less invasive ways to size up a person's cancer. One goal is to find specific markers, such as gene sequences, that can be measured simply by a blood test to keep tabs on the cancer so that for instance you might not have to undergo scans as regularly during monitoring in the future.
When cancer cells die, some of their DNA ends up in the blood. DNA from dead cancer cells is called circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA. Scientists have developed tests to detect this circulating DNA. This kind of approach is sometimes referred to as a "liquid biopsy," and investigators point to potential benefits for monitoring disease, as well as predicting a person's response to therapy early on.
Circulating Tumor DNA Study
In a published study, investigators at the National Cancer Institute analyzed blood from 126 people with DLBCL for the presence of circulating tumor DNA. Diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL, is the most common type of lymphoma, a blood cancer that begins in certain cells of the immune system.
Despite having a similar appearance under the microscope, different subsets of DLBCL can have different prognoses. According to the American Cancer Society, overall, about three out of four people will have no signs of disease after the initial treatment, and many are cured with therapy.
The cancer recurs in up to 40 percent of people, however, and it is then often incurable, especially when it comes back early and/or when levels of tumor cells in their blood are high, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Everyone in the present investigation had received treatment for DLBCL according to 3 different protocols, with drugs such as etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin, known as EPOCH, with or without rituximab, in clinical trials between May 1993 and December 2013.
Blood testing was done before each chemotherapy cycle, at the end of treatment, and every time staging was assessed. People were followed for many years after therapy, and CT scans were done at the same time as the blood testing. People in this study were followed for a median of 11 years after treatment—that is, the middle number in the series was 11 years, but people were followed for both shorter and longer periods.
Blood Test Predicted Progression, Recurrence
Of the 107 people who had a complete remission of the cancer, those who developed detectable ctDNA in the blood samples were over 200 times more likely to have their disease progress than those who did not have detectable ctDNA.
The blood test was able to predict which people would not respond to therapy as early as the second cycle of anti-cancer treatment.
The blood test also enabled the detection of cancer recurrence a median of 3.4 months before there was any clinical evidence of disease, in advance of detection via CT scan.
Currently, liquid biopsies in DLBCL are investigational and are not FDA approved or recommended by NCCN guidelines. The information provided by a liquid biopsy should not be used to guide treatment in DLBCL.
There are still many unanswered questions and challenges involved in keeping tabs on cancers using molecular markers from blood tests, but the knowledge base is continually growing and improving.
In the case of lymphoma, and particularly all the different types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the sheer diversity of these malignancies makes for challenging work. Even when considering the same malignancy, such as DLBCL, it is possible that a single marker might not work well in all cases.
Eventually, however, the hope is that some of the excisions, needles, and scans so familiar to today's cancer patients might be avoided and replaced by tests that detect these markers and measure their levels in the body.

Aquaponics once seemed like a hobby could be the future for growing food in New York City
A farm deep inside a Brooklyn warehouse may lead the way to large-scale urban agriculture
Here's one way to grow food in an urban environment: Raise a school of tilapia in a tank. Filter out the nitrogen-rich waste, and let naturally occurring bacteria transform it from ammonia into nitrate. Run that naturally derived fertilizer beneath the roots of greens, herbs and peppers. Let the veggies flourish beneath LED lights. Harvest the vegetables. Later, harvest the fish. Cook and serve.
Known as aquaponics, this complicated but efficient ecosystem is the latest attempt at making agriculture commercially viable in New York City—even though it has a spotty history, a not-quite-proven track record and plenty of skeptics.
"We do aquaponics for the quality of produce it yields," said Jason Green, CEO and co-founder of Edenworks, an emerging commercial aquaponics company in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that recently secured a commitment to supply baby greens and microgreens to Whole Foods Market stores in New York City later this year. "Our innovation is that we can do aquaponics cost-effectively, scalably and repeatedly."
Though the premise of mimicking a natural system in a closed environment is ancient, Green says that new technologies including proprietary software, a complex plumbing system and cost-efficient LED lighting, plus a soaring demand for local food, will make fish-fed farms viable on a large scale, even in inner cities. A 2010 report from the New York City Council cited $600 million in unmet demand for regionally grown produce.
"Consumers are very interested in knowing the provenance of their food, and companies are responding to that by setting up systems to produce food in cities," explained Nevin Cohen, an associate professor of urban food policy at the CUNY School of Public Health.
Brian Mansour, who runs a 20-year-old aquaponics greenhouse at Cabbage Hill Farm in Mount Kisco, in Westchester County, says the economics of farming in the city will eventually be made to work. "It's just a matter of time before somebody with enough money and the right crew will get together the right model that will work," he said. […]

Javea doesn't have many hotels as most people tend to rent an apartment or villa in Javea. However if you are visiting relatives or just fancy a holiday or weekend break then booking a hotel is a good option for accommodation in Javea.
As there is no railway station you will probably arrive at your Javea hotel by hire car or by taxi.
If you have a hire car in Javea then you can stay in a hotel anywhere but otherwise you will want your Javea hotel to be in the Arenal area where the beach, shops, restaurants and bars are situated.
The Javea Parador hotel is a four star hotel situated right next to the Arenal beach in a perfect spot with all the restaurants and bars and nightlife on your doorstep within walking distance.
The Javea El Rodat hotel is another four star. The hotel is set away from the Arenal beach in a very tranquil and beautiful area of Javea known as Tosalet. You will need either a hire car or taxis to get around.
If you are looking at cheaper hotel accommodation in Javea then you could try the ApartHotel Pinosol which has excellent facilities in a good area of Javea.
Another good option for cheap hotel accommodation in Javea is the Hotel Arenal park, close to the beach area.
Four star hotels in Javea are of a very high standard with many facilities available to you such as swimming pools, sauna, Jacuzzi, restaurants, breakfast should be included in the cost, parking, internet access etc.
The El Rodat hotel in Javea is a luxury four-star hotel with spa facilities and The El Rodat Gourmet Restaurant which has been awarded one sun by the Real Academia Española de Gastronomía (The Spanish Royal Academy of Gastronomy).
The best-known hotel in Javea the four-star Parador hotel is located right on the beach splitting the Arenal with the rocky coastline leading to the Port of Javea. Definitely the most convenient located hotel in Javea because you would not need to hire a car as everything you need is within walking distance.
Two star hotels in Javea are still of a basic standard and again will offer few facilities (if any). Again, if possible we recommend checking out the room before you make your hotel booking. However two star hotels in Javea will be of a clean standard and safe so depending on your budget they are good value for money.
The two-star rated Hotel Miramar is situated on the beach in the port area of Javea just 10 meters from the sea. It has two separate lounges one with a TV and one for reading, bar and restaurant. All the bedrooms at the Hotel Miramar have a complete bathroom, direct telephone, heating and television.
The Hotel Solymar in Javea is located on the frontline of the road leading from the Arenal beach area to the port area. Well-located it is a small cosy hotel rated with two-stars.
