The Potentially Profitable New Arctic Zone
Posted: May 24, 2012 in nature and the environment

If you see a web page not available error message on the video, please refresh the page.
As countries surrounding the freshly exposed waters in the Arctic region are poised to claim the areas for commercial fishing and other exploits, more than 2000 scientists have signed an open letter begging for a moratorium on the use of natural resources in the area, until ecological studies are completed. The warming climate trend has melted a 2.8 million km square of ice in an international waters area, and raised policy concerns.
In a document titled  Expanding the EU's Institutional Capacities
in the Arctic Region
Policy Briefing and Key Recommendations, Roderick Kefferpütz & Danila Bochkarev state:
According to the recent U.S. Geological Survey, the region holds significant oil and natural gas
reserves. Melting ice cover would facilitate the exploitation of these resources and open up access
to fish stocks and particularly new shipping routes, which promise shorter distances for trade between
Europe and East Asia. On the other hand, the melting of the Arctic's ice cap, while increasing
the region's geopolitical and geo-economic importance, significantly exacerbates its environmental
fragility, threatens the traditional way of life of the indigenous population and increases the
potential for conflict in the region.
What countries stand to profit from Arctic ice melt? Kefferpütz and Bochkarev explain:
Besides the Arctic 5 countries (A5) that encircle the North Pole (United States, Canada, Russia,
Norway, Denmark and Greenland), the European Union has signalled a clear interest in the region.
Commissioners Piebalgs and Borg have both stressed the need to tap the region's natural resources
while the EU's High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier Solana,
acknowledged the Arctic in his recent report on climate change and international security.
The authors point out that the mixture of power and resources could well result in militarization of the new Arctic zone, meaning that climate change and international security will likely be connected in the future. China and Japan are also involved, with Japan funding research for Arctic-class tankers. Legal issues, area governance and regulations are complex and will likely be the topic of concern and discussion among policymakers and international lawyers. Currently, no clear regulations are in place.
Meanwhile, the newly exposed area contains a new and fragile ecosystem. Scientists have insufficient data at this point on what is in the ecosystem, let alone the impact of removing what is there through commercial fishing, for example.
The authors note that the New Arctic zone has fish stocks, metals and likely the world's largest untapped hydrocarbon (oil) reserves. They also predict "Heavy militarisation, a relic of the Cold War, remains an important challenge for the foreseeable future, particularly in the context of policies pursued by Russia, the U.S. and Canada."
Will the scientists be kicked to the curb in the name of money? Will the Arctic be kicked to the curb in the name of money?

Three More Witnesses Change Stories In Zimmerman Case

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting today that three more witnesses have changed their stories in the Zimmerman case.
Photo by Werth Media
Witness 2
She originally told the police she saw one person chasing another person, who was about 10-12 feet ahead, up the sidewalk between townhomes in the direction of the T-intersection with another sidewalk that connects Twin Trees Street with Retreat View Circle (this is very close to the location where Zimmerman shot Martin). She now says that she only saw one person running. She originally said she could not identify either individual because it was dark and she had taken her contacts out before it happened. That part of her story remains the same.
She changed her story when John Batchelor of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement interviewed her on March 20th.
Witness 12
Witness 12 is a young mother who did not give a recorded statement to the Sanford Police. The Orlando Sentinel reports,
During that session [with an investigator of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on 3/20/2012 when she gave her first recorded statement], she said she saw two people on the ground immediately after the shooting and was not sure who was on top, Zimmerman or Trayvon.
"I don't know which one. … All I saw when they were on the ground was dark colors," she said.
Six days later, however, she was sure: It was Zimmerman on top, she told trial prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda during a 2 1/2-minute recorded session.
Since she saw the two individuals after the shot was fired, and we know that Trayvon Martin was shot, we can infer that she must be right. Zimmerman was on top.
She explained that the person on top was definitely bigger than the person on the bottom and when she saw pictures of them on TV after the shooting, she realized Zimmerman was the guy on top because he is much bigger than Martin (he's 2 inches shorter but 42 lbs heavier).

Summary of DNA and GSR Evidence*
Image by Keith Ramsey
1. Trayvon Martin's shirt (ME-8)
Four stains tested positive for blood. Trayvon Martin is the source of two stains. George Zimmerman is the source for another and the fourth stain is a mixed sample containing DNA from both individuals.
2. Trayvon Martin's hoodie (ME 12)
Two stains test positive for blood. Trayvon is the source of one and no DNA result on the other.
No DNA results foreign to Trayvon Martin are found on both lower sleeves.
Two holes were discovered in the area of the "upper left chest" (one in each item of clothing) that exhibited characteristics consistent with a contact gunshot.
3. My thoughts
Given the lack of George Zimmerman's DNA on the hoodie, the presence of blood contributed by George Zimmerman on the shirt that he was wearing underneath the hoodie indicates the hoodie was not covering the portion of the shirt where the bloodstain was located. Difficult to draw any additional conclusions without knowing the location of the bloodstains on the shirt (e.g., whether the hoodie was pulled up exposing the shirt or the shirt was extended below the hoodie or how this could have happened)
No DNA results foreign to Trayvon Martin are found on both lower sleeves suggesting that Trayvon was not beating Zimmerman.
The two holes obviously came from the same shot and there is a potential conflict between the location of the wound (1 inch left of the midline and 1/2 inch below the nipple) and the location of the two holes (upper chest area).
There also is a potential conflict created by the medical examiner's conclusion that the muzzle of the gun was 2 to 4 inches away (an intermediate distance) when the fatal shot was fired compared the firearm's analyst who concluded that the muzzle of the gun was in contact with the clothing.
Marilyn, who comments at my law blog, suggested Zimmerman was restraining Martin by gripping his clothing with one hand and fired the gun with the other as Martin was attempting to get away. This could explain how the upper part of both items of clothing could  have been pulled down as well as a few inches away from Martin's chest when Zimmerman fired the fatal shot. It also might explain how Zimmerman's blood might have gotten on the shirt, but not the hoodie.
I think we lack sufficient evidence to draw that conclusion at this point, but it's certainly possible. Might also explain how the shot went straight in without angling up or down, left or right.
Of course, if it happened this way, the shooting definitely was not in self-defense.

Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Supreme Court [Frog Gravy Legal Case]
Posted: May 21, 2012 in law
Petition For Certiorari
In my legal case, Kentucky issued a published opinion affirming. My case sets a new precedent in Kentucky. After the conclusion of my trial, the court issued an opinion denying a motion to suppress. The court relied on absolutely nothing from the suppression hearing. Rather, it relied on 'evidence' introduced at trial. The 'evidence' at trial differed factually and materially from the evidence presented at suppression. Is this proper?
Very sorry, I am having trouble with the link to the original pdf document. I will notify readers as soon as I can fix this issue.
UPDATE: It should be fixed now.

Witness Recants Statement Identifying Zimmerman As Person Screaming For Help
Tags: GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, TRAYVON MARTIN, WITNESS JOHN RECANTS STATEMENT
by Frederick Leatherman
(h/t to Marilyn who reported this story in the Orlando Sentinel)
The witness named John, who identified Zimmerman as the man screaming for help, recanted that part of his statement when he was interviewed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on March 20, 2012.
He said it was too dark to see the mouths of the two individuals and he had just assumed that the man on the bottom was the one screaming.
However, his description of the fight also has changed:
"The black guy was on top," he told FDLE Investigator John Batchelor. "The guy that was on the ground, under him at that point, wrestling, was definitely a lighter color."
It was dark outside, he said, and at first, he thought he was witnessing a dogfight. When he stepped to the door, he realized it was two people on the ground wrestling.
The person on top was either hitting or pinning the other to the ground, he said. The person on the bottom was struggling to get up.
He yelled at them to stop, he said, "Hey, cut it out," and thought they would, but they didn't, so he stepped inside and headed upstairs to call 911.
He heard a loud pop, "like a rock hitting a window," he said.
When he looked again, the person who had been on top, he said, was "in the grass not moving while the other gentleman has his hands in the air … The one guy that was on the bottom said, 'I shot the other guy in self-defense. The gun is on the ground.' "
No wonder the prosecutors charged him with second degree murder. This is a different case.
Why Is Trayvon Martin Dead?

Why Is Trayvon Martin Dead?
(photo: werthmedia/flickr)
I apologize for the length of this article, but there is a lot of information to cover. Includes lots of new information that came out this week.
Many lawyers, including myself, have focused the discussion in the George Zimmerman case on who initiated aggressive physical contact, because there is no law that prohibits a person from approaching another person and asking them what they are doing.
Nevertheless, as I also have pointed out, Zimmerman's intent when approaching Martin is relevant regarding who threw the first punch.
Keep in mind that it is after dark and raining.
What Was Zimmerman's Intent?
As Zimmerman sat in his vehicle talking to the dispatcher, we know he was  suspicious about Martin's presence and intentions.
When he called the non-emergency number for the Sanford Police Department seven minutes before he shot and killed an unarmed teenager named Trayvon Martin, he said,
7:09:00: Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
7:09:25: Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He's [unintelligible], he was just staring…
7:09:42: Dispatcher: OK, he's just walking around the area…
Zimmerman: …looking at all the houses.
Dispatcher: OK…
Zimmerman: Now he's just staring at me.
He also was  concerned about Martin approaching him and possibly being armed.
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he's coming towards me.
Dispatcher: OK.
Zimmerman: He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male.
7:10:03: Dispatcher: How old would you say he looks?
Zimmerman: He's got button on his shirt, late teens.
Dispatcher: Late teens ok.
Zimmerman: Somethings wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out, he's got something in his hands, I don't know what his deal is.
7:10:20: Dispatcher: Just let me know if he does anything ok
Zimmerman: How long until you get an officer over here?
Dispatcher: Yeah we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else.
Martin, evidently, walks past him without stopping or speaking.
As Zimmerman identifies himself to the dispatcher and provides directions to his location , he expresses frustration three times that Martin will get away before the police officer arrives [See italicized material below — the bracketed descriptions of background sounds within the quoted material were provided by Wikipedia]. He gets out of his vehicle, follows Martin and acknowledges the dispatcher's instruction not to do that with a simple "OK."
Yet, he appears to continue looking for Martin, instead of returning to his vehicle. When the dispatcher asks him where his vehicle is parked,  he says he cannot because it is parked in front of a "cut-through" or pedestrian walkway "between buildings" (townhomes). He does not appear to be in or near his vehicle because he neither provides any addresses to be used as landmarks near his vehicle, nor does he describe his vehicle or provide explicit directions to find it. Instead, he tells the dispatcher to instruct the officer en route to call him on his cell phone after he arrives in the neighborhood.
Zimmerman: Okay. These assholes they always get away. When you come to the clubhouse you come straight in and make a left. Actually you would go past the clubhouse.
7:10:39 Dispatcher: So it's on the lefthand side from the clubhouse?
Zimmerman: No you go in straight through the entrance and then you make a left…uh you go straight in, don't turn, and make a left. Shit he's running.
7:11:08: Dispatcher: He's running? Which way is he running?
[Ambient sounds are heard which may be Zimmerman unbuckling his seat belt and his vehicle's "open door" chime sounding. The change in his voice and the sound of wind against his cell phone mic indicate that he has left his vehicle and is now walking. The dispatcher seems to pick up on these changes and sounds concerned when he later asks Zimmerman if he is following Martin.]
Zimmerman: Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood.
Dispatcher: Which entrance is that that he's heading towards?
Zimmerman: The back entrance…fucking [disputed/unintelligible]
[This section of the recording has been the subject of much speculation. Some suggest that Zimmerman has just made a racial slur, but the audio is not clear.]
7:11:22: Dispatcher: Are you following him?
7:11:25: Zimmerman: Yeah
7:11:26: Dispatcher: Ok, we don't need you to do that.
7:11:28 Zimmerman: Ok
Dispatcher: Alright sir what is your name?
Zimmerman: George…He ran.
Dispatcher: Alright George what's your last name?
[A clicking or knocking sound can be heard here]
Zimmerman: Zimmerman
Dispatcher: And George what's the phone number you're calling from?
[Clicking or knocking sound is heard again]
Zimmerman: [phone number redacted]
Dispatcher: Alright George we do have them on the way, do you want to meet with the officer when they get out there?
Zimmerman: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Alright, where you going to meet with them at?
[For the remainder of the recording, Zimmerman sounds distracted. The knocking sound occurs several times during the final exchange with the dispatcher]
Zimmerman: If they come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the club house, and uh, straight past the club house and make a left, and then they go past the mailboxes, that's my truck…[unintelligible]
7:12:10: Dispatcher: What address are you parked in front of?
Zimmerman: I don't know, it's a cut through so I don't know the address.
Dispatcher: Okay do you live in the area?
Zimmerman: Yeah, I…[unintelligible]
Dispatcher: What's your apartment number?
Zimmerman: It's a home it's 1950, oh crap I don't want to give it all out, I don't know where this kid is.
7:12:40 Dispatcher: Okay do you want to just meet with them right near the mailboxes then?
7:11:42 Zimmerman: Yeah that's fine.
7:12:43: Dispatcher: Alright George, I'll let them know to meet you around there okay?
Zimmerman: Actually could you have them call me and I'll tell them where I'm at?
7:12:49: Dispatcher: Okay, yeah that's no problem.
Zimmerman: Should I give you my number or you got it?
Dispatcher: Yeah I got it [redacted]
Zimmerman: Yeah you got it.
Dispatcher: Okay no problem, I'll let them know to call you when you're in the area.
7:13:02 Zimmerman: Thanks.
Dispatcher: You're welcome. – Call Ends 7:13:07
The Critical Three Minutes
Zimmerman shoots and kills Martin three minutes after the phone call ends.
How do we know that?
All 911 calls are timed and this is how we know that Zimmerman's call ended at 7:13 pm. During another timed 911 call from the resident of a townhouse reporting a fight between two individuals in the yard behind the townhouse, a shot abruptly punctuates a terrified scream for help at 7:16 pm.
Martin's girlfriend calls him at 7:12 pm, which has been verified by cellular phone records for both phones.
Through counsel for Martin's parents, she provided a statement in which she said Trayvon expressed concern about a man following him. She told him to run. Then she heard Martin say,
What are you following me for?
This was followed by a man's voice responding,
She said that she heard the sound of pushing and then Trayvon said,
Get off me, get off me.
Martin's headset suddenly went silent.  She attempted to call him back immediately, but was unable to reach him.
That call ended at 7:16 pm.
What Happened Next
Officer Timothy Smith of the Sanford Police Department was the first to arrive at the scene of the shooting at 7:17 pm.
Police recovered Martin's cellphone from the wet grass near his body. The Arizona Iced Tea and Skittles were found inside the pouch pocket of his hoodie.
The Autopsy Report
According to the autopsy report, the fatal shot was fired straight-on from an intermediate distance and entered Trayvon's chest 1 inch to the left of the midline and 1/2 inch below his left nipple. It perforated the right ventricle of his heart and perforated his left lung, collapsing both lungs. There was no exit wound. The trajectory of the shot was front to back, neither up nor down, neither to the left nor to the right.
Based on the 2 inch X 2 inch smoke ring with stippling around the 3/8 inch entry wound, Dr. Vincent J.D. di Maio, the former Medical Examiner for Bexar County (San Antonio) estimated that the muzzle of the gun was 2 to 4 inches from Trayvon's chest when Zimmerman fired the fatal shot.
The Assistant Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy also reported that Martin had severe global edema (i.e., swelling) to both hemispheres of his brain.
Zimmerman's Statement
Zimmerman claims he followed the dispatcher's advice and was returning to his vehicle when Martin approached him from behind his left shoulder and asked him,
Why are you following me?
[Note the use of the present tense, which suggests he has not given up looking for Martin, is not returning to his vehicle, and is not approached from behind (h/t KrisAinTX)]
Martin's girlfriend corroborates Martin's question and use of the present tense, if not the context in which Zimmerman claims it was asked.
Zimmerman claims he then asked Martin,
Martin's girlfriend corroborates Zimmerman's response.
Zimmerman's Arrest
When Officer Smith arrived at the scene at 7:17 pm, a minute after the shooting, he saw Martin lying face down in the grass and Zimmerman standing nearby.
Zimmerman was not attempting to aid or provide CPR to Martin and there is no reference in Smith's report to Zimmerman being upset or crying.
After retrieving Zimmerman's gun and holster from inside his waistband, he arrested and handcuffed him with his hands behind his back and placed him in the back seat of his patrol vehicle.
When an EMT checked Zimmerman in the patrol vehicle at 7:41 pm his pulse, blood pressure, and all of his vital signs were normal. Here is his report:
Assessment 1941 [7:41 pm]
Patient Conscious
Breathing Quality Adult Normal 12-20 [which is normal, not panting or out of breath]
No External Hemorrhage noted; Mucuous Membrane Normal
Central Body Color Normal
Extremities Normal
Within Normal Limits (Airway, Breathing Quality, Accessory Muscle Use, Chest Rise, Radial Pulse, Skin Temp, Skin Moisture [not sweating], Skin Turgor [not showing signs of dehydration], Cap Refill [blood circulation is normal], Pupil Size and Reaction.
[Or as Crane Station, a former RN says, He's cool as a cucumber, which seems unusual for a person who minutes earlier killed someone and is now under arrest while sitting in the rear seat of a police vehicle with his hands handcuffed behind his back ]
Cause of Injury [to Zimmerman]: Struck by blunt/thrown object. (9640) [Emphasis supplied]
Mechanism of Injury: Blunt
Patient says he was assaulted and his head was struck on the pavement.
Pt's GCS = 15 [Glascow Coma Scale, which is a level of consciousness scale and 15 is normal] and he is warm and dry with normal skin color. Pt has abrasions to his forehead + bleeding/tenderness to his nose and a small laceration to the back of his head. All injuries have minor bleeding. Pt also denies LOC [loss of consciousness], neck/back pain, and he has + PMS [pulse motor sensory function] X 4 [in all extremeties] with – paresthesia [no tingling]
[That means his pulse, motor, and sensory functions were all okay and functioning normally]
Crane-Station's Take
Crane-Station put it best,
How could a guy be talking to his girlfriend and killing somebody at the same time?
Who Screamed For Help?
The FBI Digital Examination Laboratory has reported that identification of the person screaming for help during the 911 call is not possible due to the poor quality of the original recording.
Zimmerman, backed by his father and unidentified family members, claims he is the person screaming for help. A neighbor named John claims he saw Zimmerman calling for help.
Martin's mother claims Trayvon is the person screaming for help. Two audiologists working independently of each other using different methodologies to clean up background noise and focus on clarifying the scream have excluded Zimmerman as the source of the scream to a reasonable scientific certainty.
The Witness Named John
Claims that he saw Martin on top of John beating him about the head and heard Zimmerman calling for help. He shut and locked his sliding glass door and went upstairs to call 911. He heard the shot as he was going up the stairs. When he looked out a bedroom window, he saw Martin lying face down in the grass, apparently dead, and Zimmerman standing next to him.
He did not see the beginning or the end of the fight and that also appears to be the case with the other witnesses.
Other Witnesses
Other witnesses reported bits and pieces of this tragic event. I am still reviewing their statement but have nothing definitive or new to report yet.
Given Zimmerman's state of mind and intent, I believe he was the aggressor and did not act in self-defense. I also believe he attacked Martin while Martin was talking to his girlfriend and Martin may have struck him with the cell phone several times in self-defense causing the injuries treated by the EMT.

As a team and Cornerstone Robotics as a whole organization, we like to reach out into our community. We have hosted multiple VEX IQ competitions as well as the VEX IQ State Championship for three years in a row. We also go to local bookstores and libraries to demonstrate to people what robotics is all about. We are a home school team and because of this we especially like going into home school groups and showing both kids and adults what robotics is.
Something that I believe is really important is reaching out into your community and teaching younger kids about robotics. This year will be my (Rachel) third year coaching a VEX IQ team. My team has boys in 2rd - 4th Grade and I absolutely love coaching them. It's so amazing to take what I've learned in VRC and have the opportunity to teach younger students about it. It's awesome to see them having a blast while making super cool robots that they're so proud of. Teaching these kids about robotics isn't just a great way to get robotics started at a young age. It's a great way to learn something about yourself. I highly recommend becoming a VEX IQ coach, because you're not just teaching these kids, they teach you something too.


Are there additional costs to work with an Exclusive Buyer's Agent?
There are NO additional costs to you. When a home is listed for sale with a listing real estate agent, the "seller" agrees the fee to be paid to the listing agent for selling the home. The listing agent shares this fee 50/50 with the agent representing the buyer.
What if I want to purchase a "For sale by owner" property?
More often than not an "unrepresented seller" will agree to pay the buyer's agent fee; so before you contact the seller directly, allow us the opportunity to negotiate your representation with the seller. The sale and purchase of real estate is a complex contractual legal transaction, it is in the best interest of the parties to have a real estate professional involved in the transaction, this is especially true for the buyer. If the seller will not agree, you are not obligated to use our services.
What if I want to purchase a new construction property?
The same applies as in a previously owned home. There are NO additional costs to you. The seller/builder allows for agents fees. Typically the seller/builder's agent will have a Sales Office on site. Like any sale of real estate the "seller/builder's agent" is working in the interest of their client (the seller) not you the buyer. If you happen to visit a builder's Sales Office without your agent, be sure to register your agent so that the builder's agent is aware that you will be represented by your own agent.
If you're paid on a commission, what is your incentive to save me money when negotiating on my behalf?
"Repeat Business". There would be no growth or success in our business if you wouldn't recommend our services. As Exclusive Buyer's Agents are a fairly new concept in real estate today, we rely totally on word of mouth.
How does the Exclusive Buyer's Agent find out about all the homes that might meet my needs?
Access to the M.L.S. The Northwest Multiple Listing Service (where most, if not all, agents list their homes for sale) provides for most of the data. We also stay on top of "for sale by owner" and "new construction" properties as well.
What is the difference between a Real Estate Agent, Buyer's Agent and an Exclusive Buyer's Agent?
There is a big difference, click here for a detailed description.
I heard that buyer's agents want me to sign a Buyer/Agent Agreement that would tie me up to only work with them. What if I wanted to work with other agents?
We offer an agreement as protection for you the buyer as well as the agent. It allows you to have recourse against an agent who does not perform to your best interests. It also ensures that you will work with that agent for an agreed duration of time; the agreement is written for "X" number of days. The decision is yours. Make the agreement short at first after which you will have been able to decide whether or not the agent you are working with will live up to your standards. At that time you have the option of extending the agreement or, you may decide to choose to work with another agent.
An Exclusive Buyer's Agent will go to work for you spending many hours of research, scouring the market place continuously looking for the homes that best suits your needs, financially as well as physically. A buyer's agent wants to know that you are committed to them during the time they are committed to work for you.
Note: The above only applies to the company First Exclusive Inc. Other Buyer Agent companies' practices may be different.

Q: SwiftUI + Core Data: unable to delete entity Here how this piece of code works:

*

*ListTimerView shows a list of Timer entity stored using Core Data. In this view there is a (+) button on the toolbar.

*Clicking on the (+) button a new empty Timer is created using current context newTimerToAdd = Timer(context: viewContext).

*TimerEditView is called and an empty Entity is passed to the view using ObservedObject.

*TimerEditView can edit the entity. In the toolbar there are two buttons, Save or Discard changed. If I click on Save everything goes right. The error occurs only if I click on Discard button.

The logic behind is:

*

*Create a temporary entity

*Pass the entity to an Edit view and then Save in current context or Discard it

Here the "complete" code, and at the end the error printed in the console.

The DFS envisaged an openpit operation, with contractor mining and contractor blasting services.
Americas country manager and project director Max Combes anticipated first gold from the project in February 2023.
Gold Fields aims to get the pre-strip done in under two years (21 months) – by the time the plant is commissioned. Gold Fields was targeting a mining rate of 44-million tonnes a year.
"Gold Fields is actively drilling a number of targets in the region; so far looking encouraging. There is every reason to believe that we will add to this project. Salares is a first step in a bigger prospect," concluded Holland.

DO WE REALLY WANT A RETURN TO NORMAL? NO TURNING BACK!
TOWARDS A NEW NORMAL: A GREEN RECOVERY
2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 &13 (NRSV): "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. ... But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture - "I believed, and so I spoke"—we also believe, and so we speak ..."
The Global Catholic Climate Movement offers us a beautiful reflection about the pandemic, and what we can learn as we address the other looming threat to our world, the global ecological crisis.
International Mother Earth Day 22 April
German botanist Ernst Haeckel first used the term ecology in 1866. The first wave of environmentalism grew out of moves to conserve and protect nature especially birds and the formation of natural history societies (and promotion of public health) from the 1880s until 1914 in Europe. The second wave began in the 1950s and picked up in the 1960s & 70s. However, the stage was set for change by the World Wildlife Fund (now The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), which was founded in 1961 with an initial focus on the protection of endangered species. As more resources became available, its operations expanded into other areas such as the preservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of natural resources, the reduction of pollution, and climate change. Jumping ahead but while on terminology: 'Biological Diversity', a term introduced by Lovejoy (1980) to express the number of species present in the community has an offshoot: 'Biodiversity', coined by Walter G. Rosen in the year 1985 (Wilson, 1988).
It was Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962 which had a huge and widespread impact. The book represented a watershed moment, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries as it raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the inextricable links between pollution and public health. Although Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by chemical companies, it spurred a reversal in US pesticide policy, which led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides.
Other events having great impact were other oil tanker spills e.g. Torrey Canyon (1967). The Flemish Catholic movement (Anders Gaan Leven Live Differently) was an example of Catholic youth involvement.
The Trimates- (English, American and Canadian) Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey,[4] and Birutė Galdikas — chosen by anthropologist Louis Leakey also helped raise awareness as did the National Geographic and David Attenborough's natural history unit of the BBC. I remember the existence of The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation in Burnaby/ Vancouver, BC and Greenpeace in Vancouver, BC both founded in 1969. As the name suggests, Greenpeace was closely associated/grew out of the anti-war and anti-nuclear movement. As someone said "Peace" as a greeting/goodbye Bill Darnell said: "Better make it a green peace".
Peace activist John McConnell first proposed the idea of Earth Day in 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco. US Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day one month later on 22 April 1970, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill from an offshore oil platform 10 km off Santa Barbara, California. By the end of 1970, the first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of other first of their kind environmental laws. Realizing that solutions would only be effective through common effort, countries convened the first global conference on the environment in Stockholm from 5-16 June 1972.
Largely because of U.S. leadership, industrialized nations agreed to establish and provide initial funding for what is arguably the world's premier global environmental institution: the United Nations Environment Programme. UNEP catalyzed negotiation of the 1985 Vienna Convention and its follow-on, the 1987 Montreal Protocol, a treaty to restrict production and use of substances that deplete Earth's protective ozone layer. Today the agency continues to drive international efforts on issues including pollution control, biodiversity conservation and climate change.
In 1990 Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries. Today, Earth Day is widely recognized as the largest secular observance in the world, marked by more than a billion people every year as a day of action to change human behaviour and create global, national and local policy changes.
Unfortunately under the current President, US leadership in the environmental movement has wilted and reversed!
What did Pope Francis say about Earth Day 2020?
In his weekly address, Pope Francis honoured the Earth Day movement. He said, "As the tragic coronavirus pandemic has taught us, we can overcome global challenges only by showing solidarity with one another and embracing the most vulnerable in our midst."
More from the Holy Father, who in an Easter Sunday letter to popular movements wrote, "In these days of great anxiety and hardship, many have used war-like metaphors to refer to the pandemic we are experiencing. If the struggle against COVID-19 is a war, then you are truly an invisible army, an army whose only weapons are solidarity, hope, and community spirit, all revitalizing at a time when no one can save themselves alone."
There is hope and here is an example: Renewable energy and 50 million jobs! Read on...
The big question is: Will the world's governments be willing to put their money where their mouths are? Beware the "widening gap between rhetoric and action" by governments regarding climate change. The unfortunate fact is that whereas governments everywhere have been paying lip service to climate change and clean energy, in reality, they are wont to go to much greater lengths to try and save the fossil fuel sector from collapse than invest in clean energy projects with much longer and unproven paybacks.
Laudato Si' teaches us that "everything is connected." From a recent report: The scientists said the multi trillion-dollar economic recovery packages being rolled out by governments must be used to strengthen and enforce environmental protection: "It may be politically expedient to relax environmental standards and to prop up industries such as intensive agriculture, airlines, and fossil-fuel-dependent energy sectors, but doing so without requiring urgent and fundamental change essentially subsidises the emergence of future pandemics." Read more...
How do we make the governments listen? In our National JPIC Action Plan (2012) at n. 2.3 we call it parrhesia (to speak boldly)! Or as Acts 4:29 puts it: "thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word"; Laudato Si' (38 & 179) also told us.
What happens when countries work together for the Common Good?
Here is an example: The Montreal Protocol, effective 1989...
...to raise awareness to control powerful global warming chemicals - hydrofluorocarbons - HFCs. Reducing HFCs under the Montreal Protocol to avoid 0.5°C of global warming by 2000, while continuing to protect the ozone layer. The Montreal Protocol to protect the Earth's ozone layer is to date the only United Nations environmental agreement to be ratified by every country in the world. It is also one of the most successful. With the parties to the Protocol having phased out 98 per cent of their ozone-depleting substances, they saved an estimated two million people from skin cancer every year. So we can work together!
And got another minute? One is enough! Time to watch:
Our house is on fire: ignore it at our peril or react now. Good to pass on to young people? They will get the message!
TIME FOR A SONG! A new favourite:
...a song created by an affiliate of the Global Catholic Climate Movement, brought to us by JPIC Franciscans Africa and written by Steven Kezamutima, ofs, the founder and leader of Waka Waka Band that is behind the "Anti COVID-19" song. Founded in August 2016, the band is made up of ten Secular Franciscan youths studying at Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) in Kenya and drawn from various African countries, among them Kenya, Malawi, Burundi and DR Congo. Steven is a university student from Burundi pursuing a Masters degree in Justice, Peace and Social Cohesion at CUEA and referred to in the song as Baba Miti (Father of Trees in Swahili), a nickname his peers gave him due to the Birthday Tree Planting Campaign he runs across East Africa. Together with Lusungu Kumwenda from Malawi and the Waka Waka Band they sing it: African reggae!
The song called AntiCovid-19 is here to give hope to People and Planet that God is taking control. A call for a united sustainable global response: human need before corporate greed. Read more about it here .
And more about JPIC FA here.
While Africa is in our thoughts perhaps we can reflect on this: As if covid19 is not enough, for more than two years the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have warned that sub-Saharan Africa stands on the verge of a debt crisis.
Does this call for charity or justice?
Inequality/injustice: Rethinking executive compensation in times of crisis?!
"As Tom Powdrill at the U.K. pension consultancy PIRC wrote recently, "Watching medical staff worldwide throw themselves into the battle against COVID-19, without any expectation that they will be paid a single penny extra as a 'bonus' for their efforts, but with the expectation that some of them will die, requires us to rethink things fundamentally."

A final thought from me:
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is not justice in the hearts, minds and hands of the practitioner?

What makes me tick is Catholic Social Teaching, now encapsulated in Laudato Si' and Fratelli Tutti. My view is that while the OFS Rule & Constitutions call us to courageous action in JPIC it seems to me our infrastructure, while saying the right things, is not always acting with the required urgency and forcefulness. It seems at times to be more self-sustaining and self-perpetuating and about the status quo. This risks being seen as irrelevant in the eyes of some, especially youth.
In encouraging us to be aware and act with urgency and forcefulness I can be seen to be a bit of a joyful nuisance. Forgive me for not apologising. "Jesus himself warns us that the path he proposes goes against the flow, even making us challenge society by the way we live and, as a result, becoming a nuisance."

Q: Error running Google directory API I have a wrapper around the Google directory API that adds users to groups.
It works, at least for a while, but after perhaps 20 or 30 calls (let's say I'm updating 5 users, each one belonging to 5 groups, it doesn't take long to hit that number) it stops working with this error:
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/httplib.py", line 980, in getresponse
raise ResponseNotReady()
httplib.ResponseNotReady

Here's the code it dies on:
service = build('admin','directory_v1',http=http)
If I wait for 1/2 hour, it works again, but only for a few calls then dies like before.
Thoughts?

A: Rate limit quotes maybe? You can check this from the cloud console. Click APIs & Auth -> APIs -> Admin SDK -> Quotas. The default rate limit is 15.0 requests/second/user - if you are exceeding that you will need to use backoff logic.

This water tower was originally built by the CPR at MacGregor and donated and moved to the Museum in 1987. It is the only water tower known to have been moved.
When rail lines were constructed through Manitoba, the railways had to construct water towers along the lines as steam locomotives needed water on a regular basis. These tanks were constructed at regular intervals along rail lines These towers held about 40,000 gallons (about 180,000 litres) of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently.
In most cases, water had to be pumped into the water towers from a lake or creek. At times the railways had to construct significant facilities to supply water to the track side tanks. The MacGregor tower was gravity filled from Jacksons Lake, seven miles south of Sidney, some 15 miles from MacGregor. In other cases, dams were built on creeks or rivers to assure the railway of an adequate supply.
The tower is 54 feet high and consists of two separate structures. The 40,000 gallon inner tub is made of 3″ thick cedar and is supported by 16′ square timbers, 22′ high in the air. The height provides the gravity pressure needed to fill the locomotives.
The outer shell, which is not attached to the tub, simply serves as an insulated cover for the water. By having a stove at the bottom of the building during the winter months, the outside shell would prevent the water from freezing. It was quite common that railway water towers in eastern Canada did not have the outer shell as winter weather was not as severe as in Western Canada. These outer shells were not often found on US railroads either as these roads were further south enjoying warmer winter weather.
CPR and CNR wooden water tower designs were quite similar. Apparently the CNoP, a predecessor to the CNR, and the CPR had a close relationship with each other when the CNoP first appeared as MacKenzie and Mann, owners of the CNoP, had been very reliable construction contractors for the CPR. They were able to borrow a number of building plans from the CPR which partially explains why CPR and CNR buildings in the west often appear quite similar.

WA government announces free meningococcal vaccine for kids
By Nathan Brooks • Reporter
9:38pm Jan 23, 2018
A Perth mother has been brought to tears following an announcement the WA Government will fund an immunisation program against four strains of the deadly meningicoccal disease.
Desiree Scofield has been fighting for vaccinations to be free since her son, Robbie Buchan, lost his arms and legs to the infection three years ago.

Meningococcal cases doubled in 2017. (9NEWS)
"I can finally say to Robbie, 'you've been heard, you've made such a difference'....and that means the absolute world to us," Ms Scofield told 9NEWS as she fought back tears.
The State Government committed $5.7 million dollars to the program after meningococcal cases doubled - from 23 in 2016 to 46 last year.
"When there is an outbreak it is virulent - and it is a killer," Health Minister Roger Cook said.
The W strain was responsible for all six meningococcal deaths in WA in 2017, but the National Immunisation Program currently only protects children from Meningococcal C.
"Vaccination is a Commonwealth responsibility... if the Federal Government will not respond to this crisis in our community the McGowan Government will," Minister Cook said.
The ACWY vaccine has been available for parents to purchase for some time, but it can cost up to $155 per dose.
WA children between the ages of one and five are eligible for free immunisation. (9NEWS)
The new multi-million dollar program will protect up to 145,000 Western Australian kids.
"We live in a community where we travel so much and that's why it's so important for the Federal Government to add this vaccine to the National Immunisation Program so that we can once and for all eradicate Meningococcal W in Australia," Ms Scofield said.
WA children between the ages of one and five are eligible for free immunisation.
Year 10 students and Indigenous Australians in remote communities can also receive the ACWY vaccine for free.

JordanCon6
Reese Sunday, April 13, 2014 DragonCon No comments
Not so far from home was this convention for fans of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (WoT) series, 14 books long (plus a prequel) that spanned publication dates over 23 years. The author passed away in 2007, and the series was completed in three (gigantic but relatively brisk) books by Brandon Sanderson, the last of which was in 2013.
For those who read this blog who are more familiar with DragonCon, below is a picture of the onerous registration line. Yeah, tough times.
I enjoyed the WoT series, to a point. Unlike many series that are too short, this particular series lost its stride early and wore on far too long. Still, it was a rich book for those willing to either embrace its minutiae or weather its tedium for the grander narrative obviously sustaining its fan base. On its own, I don't know that a JordonCon would have attracted me. Though I liked the main characters, I lost track of the details over the duration (there are said to be 2,782 characters in the series).
But... Brandon Sanderson is an author I greatly enjoy, and he returned as a participant/Guest of Honor. I'm interested. Sealing the deal was another Author Guest of Honor, Patrick Rothfuss, who authored my favorite fantasy series (which remains incomplete at present).
A brief recap of the Con:
Friday, I was able to get Sanderson's autograph on his latest book, the second in his own epic series called The Stormlight Archive. It was after work, and I headed home.
Saturday morning, we attended an author panel including Rothfuss, author Eugie Foster, and editor Harriet McDougal, also Robert Jordan's widow. This was an interesting panel about writing "more than just prose," which covered naming choices for cities and characters, cuss words in fiction, lyrical voice in prose vs. music vs. lyrics inserted as songs in fiction, the sound of words, the art of the tease, and... other tidbits which speak to the intent of experienced writers. It's not for everyone, but I got a kick out of it. For Rothfuss, particularly, it was interesting to hear in very thoughtful terms his deliberate and exhaustively considered choice of words. This tendency is likely to "blame" for the duration between his books, but the quality of his writing bears patience.
The next panel featured Brandon Sanderson explaining his views on the use of magic in fantasy, known as, surprise, Sanderson's Laws of Magic, of which there are three. No notes were used, just a two hour lecture delivered in an hour and fifteen minutes.
His final point, the Zero Law, was "Err on the Side of Awesome." It was a greater point to consider what satisfies the author, and then change the story/magic/universe to get there. Kind of. An example was the Knights Radiant, who were the result of a geeky desire to include heroes with powered armored and swords and working backwards to figure out a way to make that happen.
Like Rothfuss, it was interesting. Unlike Rothfuss, it was the equivalent of drinking from a fire hydrant. The pace of their presentations mirrors the pace of their written output, and their styles obviously work for each of them.
This certainly wasn't a large convention, but I have to note that providing a hospitality suite was unexpected and remarkable. Hot dogs, chips, salad, canned sodas and bottled water, cookies, and places to sit... Free. I don't know what resources JordanCon has at their disposal, but I can't help but wonder how they managed this, not to mention the permission of the host hotel given a loss of related revenue.
We chatted with Artist Guest of Honor Larry Elmore in the artists' area, where he explained a collector's ambition, and rather fanatical focus, to create a museum for the genre fantasy art genre. My wife then ventured off for a couple of panels featuring Elmore, including a sketching session followed by a "KaffeeKlatsch," where 10 fans were able to chat about whatever around a table.
Meanwhile, I was interesting in a demo of X-Wing, a table top game, in a room dedicated to gamers. However, as one person was putting the contents of the game into a box minutes before the demo was to begin, I interpreted this as a non-event.
What to do... One, a trip upstairs for a free bottle of water and... maybe I could take pictures of people in costume in the meanwhile. JordanCon certainly has people who "dress up," but its scale is dwarfed in comparison to DragonCon, and most attendees were actually in the panels, which is a good thing. So, there were few people wandering around for photo ops. Still, here's two, both of characters in the WoT universe.
Ashaman:
Aeil Maiden of the Spear:
The above is Paige Gardner, of costumeartist.com, who was well known to attendees and also works with the DragonCon costuming program track.
Again, one of the main reasons for attending was to meet Rothfuss, to whatever extent such events allow, and get some books autographed. The queue line was well managed, and Rothfuss was as personable and gracious as one might hope.
Signings... and then the fun breaks out:
It's a three day convention, and somewhat to the organizer's surprise and delight, attendance increased to over 600, which was uncertain considering last year's Con celebrated the finale of the series.
We'll see how long JordanCon can hold the attention of its fans. In any case, the intimate size of the event was refreshing, and there was plenty to entertain those who have invested themselves so heavily into the WoT universe.

Q: Thymeleaf passing fragment parameter to javascript method with th:onclick I'm trying to use th:onclick to call a submit() on form whose ID is given as Thymeleaf variable. I write:
th:fragment="fragGname(formname)"
......
th:onclick="'document.getElementById(\''  + ${formname} +  '\').submit();'">

But I receive the error

org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Only variable expressions returning numbers or booleans are allowed in this context, any other datatypes are not trusted in the context of this expression, including Strings or any other object that could be rendered as a text literal. A typical case is HTML attributes for event handlers (e.g. "onload"), in which textual data from variables should better be output to "data-*" attributes and then read from the event handler.

Where is the mistake? Thanks!

A: I got it:
