Cruise missile targeting of carrier risked naval shootout
Song-class submarine
A Chinese attack submarine conducted a simulated cruise missile attack on the aircraft carrier USS Reagan during a close encounter several weeks ago, according to American defense officials.
The targeting incident near the Sea of Japan in October violated China's 2014 commitment to the multinational Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea, known as CUES, designed to reduce the risk of a shooting incident between naval vessels, said officials familiar with details of the encounter they described as "serious."
A section of the non-binding 2014 agreement states that commanders at sea should avoid actions that could lead to accidents or mishaps. Among the actions to be avoided are "simulation of attacks by aiming guns, missiles, fire control radar, torpedo tubes or other weapons in the direction of vessels or aircraft encountered."
Navy officials recently briefed congressional staff on the incident that took place during the weekend of Oct. 24—days before the Navy warship USS Lassens sailed within 12 miles of disputed Chinese islands in the South China Sea, triggering vocal criticism from Beijing.
The Obama administration has kept details of the submarine targeting incident secret to avoid upsetting military relations between the Pentagon and the People's Liberation Army.
Asked directly about the incident, Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, did not deny that the encounter occurred. "I have nothing for you," Harris stated in an email.
Pacific Command spokesman Capt. Darryn James earlier directed questions about the targeting to the Chinese navy. James also stated that Navy ships in the region are capable of defending themselves.
"I cannot discuss submarine operations, reports of submarine operations, or rumors of submarine operations," James said. "I can tell you that we are completely confident in the effectiveness and capabilities of the ships and aircraft of the forward-deployed naval force."
Additional details about the submarine-carrier encounter emerged after the Free Beacon first reported the incident Nov. 3.
The nuclear-powered Reagan is currently the Navy's sole forward-deployed aircraft carrier strike group. It arrived at its base in Yokosuka, Japan on Oct. 1 and replaced the USS Washington strike group there.
Aircraft carrier strike groups are equipped with anti-submarine warfare capabilities, including ships armed with sensors and submarine-killing torpedoes.
Disclosure of the aircraft carrier targeting comes as two Chinese navy warships arrived in Pearl Harbor on Sunday.
China's official news agency said the ships' visit to Hawaii will last five days. "During the fleet's stay here, the U.S. navy and the Chinese fleet will hold receptions for each other," Xinhua said. "Friendly sports activities, such as basketball and soccer games, will be held between the two sides."
The Pentagon has made developing closer ties with the Chinese military a top priority, despite concerns that the exchanges are boosting Chinese war-fighting capabilities.
Members of Congress have called for curbing the exchanges in the face of Chinese cyber attacks and destabilizing activities in the South China Sea.
On Capitol Hill, Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.), chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on sea power, said he is concerned by reports of China's simulated ship attack.
"If true, this would be yet another case of China trying to show us that they can hold our forces in the region at risk," said Forbes.
"Coming on the heels of anti-satellite tests and other demonstrations, this latest incident should be a reminder of the destabilizing course that China is on and the challenges we face in maintaining a stable military balance in the Asia-Pacific region," Forbes added.
Naval warfare analysts said the incident highlights Chinese efforts to counter U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups, the United States' major power projection capability in the Pacific.
Retired Navy Capt. Jim Fanell, a former Pacific Fleet intelligence chief, said the submarine incident, if confirmed, would be another clear case of the Chinese navy targeting the carrier strike groups, known as CVNs.
"The PLAN submarine force is on the leading edge of the PLAN for targeting U.S. CVNs in the East Asia arena, all for the expressed purpose of being able to attack and disable them in a contingency operation" he said. PLAN stands for People's Liberation Army Navy.
Rick Fisher, a China military specialist at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, said the Chinese navy operates several types of submarines capable of firing anti-ship cruise missiles.
The Song-class and Yuan-class attack submarines can fire two types of torpedo tube-launched anti-ship cruise missiles, including the YJ-82 with a range of up to 22 miles.
Eight of China's 12 Russian-made Kilo-class submarines are armed with Club anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 137 miles. Newer Shang-class submarine can also fire cruise missiles.
"That the U.S. side would be able to determine that the submarine was conducting a cruise missile strike would indicate that the Chinese submarine was under close surveillance," Fisher said.
"That also raises the potential that the U.S. side could determine the Chinese submarine had hostile intent, potentially leading to the launching of defensive weapons."
Fisher said the incident was serious because a U.S.-China shootout would likely result in the destruction of the Chinese submarine and the loss of its crew. "Even though China would have been at fault for the incident, the Chinese government would likely then use it as an excuse for initiating a series of attacks or incidents against U.S. naval forces," he said.
Additionally, the targeting "certainly runs counter to a 2014 U.S.-China agreement to avoid such incidents at sea, which could indicate that China may have little intention to honor such this or other military confidence building agreements," Fisher said.
The Navy's main close-in anti-submarine warfare weapon is the RUM-139C rocket-launched anti-submarine torpedo, with a range of about 17 miles.
Ben Ho Wan Beng, a military analyst at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, said the Chinese military is focused on using of cruise missiles against carriers. "China seems to stress the centrality of this weapon in attacking ships," he wrote last week in the Diplomat.
Recent improvements in Navy defenses against submarines include a new electronic combat system, a towed sensor array, and the P-8 maritime submarine patrol aircraft.
"Whether or not these and similar measures would enable the U.S. to retain a distinctive edge in the undersea combat realm vis-à-vis China remains to be seen," Ho said.
Lyle J. Goldstein, a U.S. Naval War College expert on the Chinese military, wrote on Sunday that a Chinese defense journal recently discussed ways to sink U.S. aircraft carriers.
A Chinese military analyst recently revealed that China is closely studying a report from earlier this year revealing that a small nuclear-powered French submarine successfully conducted a simulated attack on the aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt, sinking the ship and several support ships in the simulation.
"The article illustrates how Chinese military analysts are diligently probing for cracks in the U.S. Navy's armor," Goldstein wrote in the National Interest.
The October showdown between the Chinese submarine and the Reagan took place as the carrier sailed around the southern end of Japan on the way exercises in the Sea of Japan along with four other strike group warships.
Days after the incident, two Russian strategic bombers flew within a mile of the carrier at a height of 500 feet, prompting F-18s from the ship to scramble and intercept them.
The October incident was not the first time a Chinese submarine threatened a U.S. carrier strike group.
In 2006, a Song-class attack submarine surfaced undetected within torpedo range of the USS Kitty Hawk.
The state-controlled China Daily praised the implementation of the CUES maritime code agreement last year as a major step in U.S.-China military relations.
Wen Bing, a researcher at the Chinese army's Academy of Military Sciences, told the newspaper that the code of conduct and U.S.-China warship exercise at the time "demonstrate the resolve of both countries to deepen military ties and avoid a maritime conflict escalating due to a lack of communication."
In December 2013, a Chinese amphibious warship sailed in front of the guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens and stopped, causing a near collision in the South China Sea.
A Chinese Embassy spokesman did not respond to an email request for comment.

The Russian submarine that carried out strikes against IS in Syria returns to Russia. (Source: Ruptly)
In the war against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, Russia had flexed its military might last week as it launched strikes in Iraq and Syria for the first time from a submarine stationed in the Mediterranean.
This video shows Russia's naval troops arriving back in Novorossiysk, Russia after successfully hitting so-called Islamic state positions in Syrian province of Raqqa. People are seen cheering the naval troops as they make their way into the country. Made in Rostov-on-Don, the submarine was on a mission in the international waters to repel the threat posed by Islamic State militants and rebels in Iraq and Syria.
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said last week that Russia's strikes reportedly hit "300 targets of different kinds" and helped Syrian special forces recover the black box of the Russian warplane downed by Turkey last month. "We used Calibre cruise missiles from the (Kilo-class) Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean Sea," Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin during an encounter broadcast on state television.

"As a result of the successful launches by the aviation and submarine fleet, all targets were destroyed," Shoigu said, adding that oil infrastructure, ammunition depots and a mine-making factory had been hit in the strikes.
On September 30, Russia launched a bombing campaign in Syria saying it needed to target Islamic State militants — but the West has accused Moscow of seeking to prop up Assad's regime and hitting moderate rebels.

Submarine inventor remembered 100 years on
Tomorrow (Tuesday) marks the 100th anniversary of the death of submarine inventor John P. Holland and to mark the anniversary a special commemorative event is being planned for later this month in his native County Clare.
The Liscannor Development Committee will host a day of events honouring the life and achievements of the local inventor on Sunday 31st August as part of Heritage Week 2014.
The event at Liscannor Harbour will feature the unveiling of a commemorative stone and a talk on Holland's life, a film of his achievements, music and songs of the sea, and a photography and children's art exhibition.
John Philip Holland was born in Liscannor in 1841. His father, John Holland senior patrolled the headlands of County Clare as a rider with the British Coastguard Service. The young Holland was a teacher in Ireland until 1872 when he immigrated to the USA, where he taught in Paterson, New Jersey, until 1879. He drew up plans of submarines and in 1881, with funds from Irish associates, launched a small submarine called "The Fenian Ram". He was later awarded a contract to build a submarine for the US Navy.
In 1900, the Navy bought the Holland VI for $150,000, about half of its design cost, and later renamed it The USS Holland. The vessel could travel 800km on the surface of the sea and 40km submerged. One US newspaper described it as "Uncle Sam's Devil of the Deep". Other countries, including Great Britain, Japan and the Netherlands, purchased Holland's submarine designs. He died on 12 August 1914, just months before a German submarine sank a British vessel at the start of World War I.
The John P. Holland Commemoration is one of 75 Heritage Week events being coordinated by Clare County Council and The Heritage Council, with support from the Department of Arts, Heritage & the Gaeltacht and Fáilte Ireland. Among the other events taking place in Clare from August 23-31st is a a lecture on the life of an Kilrush-born Boer War General Sir Thomas Kelly-Kenny, a Victorian Heritage Walk around Kilkee, a tour of Lisdoonvarna's famous restorative waters, a tour of towerhouses around Shannon Town, and a recital of traditional Irish tunes on the Uilleann Pipes by Matt Horsely at Ennis Friary.
The centenary of the outbreak of World War One is also being marked with a lecture by historian Cormac O Comhrai's on life in Ireland during the Great War, while Killaloe will also be marking the millennial anniversary of the death of one of its most famous citizens, Brian Ború. Meanwhile, annual festivals such as the Tulla Week of Welcomes and the Dan Furey Weekend in Labasheeda are holding heritage events as part of the weeklong celebration.

Tsar's 'Shark' submarine discovered beneath the Baltic Sea
A submarine nicknamed The Shark, which disappeared during the First World War, has been found by divers
The Imperial Russian submarine known as Akula or The Shark, 1913
Divers have identified a wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea as a legendary Tsarist-era Russian submarine known as The Shark, which vanished during the First World War.
The 400-ton craft, commissioned in 1911, was the biggest in the pre-revolutionary fleet and is though to be the first submarine in the world that was capable of firing a volley of several torpedoes. It was dispatched on a mission in 1915 with 35 sailors aboard but never returned to port.
Tanel Urm, an Estonian diver, and a companion found the wreck 30 yards below the surface while exploring a series of located – but unidentified – objects on the floor of the Baltic Sea off Estonia last month.
Russian and Latvian divers then joined for a fresh expedition with the Estonian team after hearing the sub had a blown-off nose cone and three distinctive propellers.
The Russian submarine was commissioned in 1911
"That made us think it could be the famous Akula [Shark], but we weren't sure until we made the dive," said diver Konstantin Bogdanov, in a telephone interview. "Part of the outer shell of the craft at the stern was still intact and suddenly we could see, through the shells stuck to the hull, the word 'Akula' in white lettering."
The smashed nose of The Shark, and the fact that an external compass on the conning tower was not stowed, suggest the submarine was destroyed on the surface when it hit a German mine. It would have sunk swiftly because it had only one compartment stretching the length of the sub. The divers could not swim inside the wreck because of the damage.
Mr Bogdanov told The Telegraph he had informed Russia's defence ministry of the find and he hoped the submarine would be declared a "brothers' grave" – the final resting place of the men who perished inside.
"There is no point in raising the sub," he said. "I hope we can put a memorial plaque in front and make it a place that can be visited on remembrance days or for educational diving trips."

ThyssenKrupp agrees sale of Swedish submarine shipyard to Saab
Toy ducks are placed on a sign of Germany's top steelmaker ThyssenKrupp during a protest at their headquarters in Essen February 25, 2014.
Germany's ThyssenKrupp said late on Sunday it had agreed to sell its submarine shipyard in the south of Sweden to Swedish defence firm Saab for 340 million Swedish crowns (29.63 million pounds).
Saab had confirmed on Thursday it was nearing an agreement after business daily Dagens Industri reported that it might soon announce such a deal, with a price tag well below 1 billion Swedish crowns.
Saab and ThyssenKrupp announced in April they were in talks on the sale of the unit after the German group failed to reach a deal with Sweden for a new generation of submarines.
"The acquisition is in line with Saab's ambitions to increase its capacity within the marine area and strengthen the company's position as a full supplier of military systems," Saab said in a statement.
The transaction is not expected to have a significant impact on 2014 results, the Swedish company added, noting that ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems will be integrated within Saab's Security and Defense Solutions division.
Sweden had been seeking ways to share development costs with other potential buyers of its A-26 submarine but failed to agree on commercial terms with ThyssenKrupp, which also builds submarines in a separate business in Germany.
Sweden's government asked Saab earlier this year to come up with a strategy to support Swedish submarine naval forces.
Defence analysts saw the move as opening the door for the Swedish company to build submarines instead.
ThyssenKrupp Marine employs around 1,000 staff in Sweden, mainly in the southern Swedish cities of Malmo and Karlskrona. The Marine Systems unit, which also makes naval ships, posted sales of 1.33 billion euros last year.

Whatever floats your boat: Kim Jong-un poses aboard rusty submarine
PICTURES of Kim Jong-un standing on a submarine have been released by North Korea.

Unfortunately for the dictator, the vessel appears to have seen better days.
Large patches of rust can be seen on the sides and top of the submarine, which is thought to be a 1,800-ton Soviet built submersible from the 1950s.
North Korean expert Aidan Foster-Carter, Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Leeds University, expressed surprise at the release of the picture, saying: "Normally they tart stuff up".
The photo opportunity comes after Kim Jong-un was pictured smiling and joking on a construction site – just days after the collapse of a Pyongyang apartment building killed hundreds of people.
South Korea responded by saying their submarines are "far superior" [REUTERS]
North Korea's state media quoted Jong-un as saying: "The Party Central Committee is attaching great importance to the combined units of submarines.
"The commanding officers and seamen should clearly see through the motives of the hateful enemies watching for a chance to invade our land and put spurs to combat preparations, thinking about battles only."
However, South Korea appeared undaunted by the release of the pictures.
Defence ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said: "It appears that Pyongyang aims to show off its submarine might, but the submarines that our Navy holds are far superior, as ours do not make much noise and it can stay underwater far longer."

Australia Reviews Plan to Double Submarine Fleet
Decision to Revisit $32 Billion Purchase Comes as Asian Neighbors Bulk Up Military Muscle
The first of Australia's six Collins class submarines hitting the water at Port Adelaide in 1993; Australia is reviewing a plan to replace its fleet with 12 new subs at a cost of more than $30 billion.
CANBERRA, Australia—Australia will review plans to double its fleet of submarines, with the new conservative government under pressure to rein in its budget even as Asian neighbors dramatically ramp up military spending.
Defense Minister David Johnston said he was unconvinced that Australia needed as many as 12 new conventional submarines currently foreseen by military planners. It comes as regional neighbors, led by China, build up their naval and air arsenals amid disputes over territorial waters, especially in North Asia.
At a cost of up to 36 billion Australian dollars (US$32.28 billion), doubling the submarine fleet would be the country's largest single military purchase.
"It's a mystery to me [where that number of 12 came from]," said Mr. Johnston, who has called for a review of military-equipment spending as part of a yearlong strategic planning process launched by the conservatives, who swept to power in September elections on a promise of fiscal restraint.
"That is a technical issue that the current circumstances will dictate and I want [the] navy to tell me what they foresee is the way forward. It might be more than 12, it might be less. I'm not sure," he said in an interview.
Australia's former Labor government in 2009 released a defense planning paper that called for a dozen large, conventionally powered submarines to replace the country's existing six-boat fleet of Collins class submarines.
Although much larger than submarines operated by regional neighbors, the Collins class submarines have been plagued by technical problems. On Thursday, a fire erupted on the submarine HMAS Waller off the West Australian coast, Australia's Defense Department said. There were no casualties.
A new fleet of larger, more powerful and longer-range submarines would counter a growing undersea presence in Asia. Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia are fielding new submarines to counter threats to some of the world's most important energy-trade routes, as well as to hedge against Chinese ambitions.
China in January sent a surface warship fleet—possibly backed by a submarine—into waters between Indonesia and Australia, demonstrating Beijing's naval reach. The move prompted some alarm in Canberra, which sent a maritime patrol aircraft to keep watch.
Southeast Asian nations typically operate submarines of about 2,000 submerged tons, while Australia envisages boats of 4,000 tons or more, possibly equipped with submarine-launched cruise missiles for land attack and capable of deploying special-forces soldiers.
Australia's submarine-replacement program, no matter how ambitious it turned out to be, wouldn't add to regional rivalries, with the close U.S. ally having long fielded a small but highly capable military that was well respected regionally, Mr. Johnston said.
"For many, many years we have owned and operated the world's largest conventionally powered submarine, so the neighborhood is well used to us having a large and unique diesel-electric submarine," he said.
Australia already has embarked on an expensive buildup of military equipment, including two 27,000-ton amphibious assault ships, new attack and transport helicopters, guided-missile destroyers, tanks and Super Hornet strike and electronic attack aircraft.
Australia has a defense budget of some A$26 billion in the fiscal year to June, or 1.6% of gross domestic product. The government plans in the next few years to buy up to 100 F-35 Lightning joint strike fighters to provide radar-evading air power, at a cost of up to A$16 billion.
But the military has come under pressure to reduce costs as the world's 12th-largest economy retreats from a mining boom, driving up joblessness and eating into government revenues. The government in December forecast budget deficits totaling A$123 billion over the next four fiscal year to June 2017, and said it would cut billions from spending.
Mr. Johnston said he was open to the idea of Australia's far-flung Cocos islands, in the Indian Ocean southwest of Indonesia, being developed as a base for U.S. or Australian Tritons. But he said there was no proposal currently to upgrade the islands' dilapidated airstrip to expand maritime reach, as Chinese vessels increasingly patrol further from home.
China's growing assertiveness in the East China Sea and elsewhere was to be expected of any country with growing energy needs, Mr. Johnston said, including a demand for Australian oil and gas resources. China is Australia's largest trading partner.
"They are hostage to the importation of food and energy. I think they would be dilatory were they not to want to protect those sea lanes," he said. "I'm not reactive to these things that are happening in the South China Sea."

Fire damaged submarine returns to Canadian navy after nearly a decade
HMCS Chicoutimi rests on the syncrolift after being removed from the harbour in Halifax, N.S., Canada on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2006. A newly rebuilt HMCS Chicoutimi is set to rejoin the Canadian navy's submarine fleet, nearly 10 years after a deadly fire aboard the second-hand warship effectively crippled the program.
A newly rebuilt HMCS Chicoutimi is set to return to Canada's naval fleet nearly 10 years after a deadly fire aboard the second-hand warship effectively crippled the Canadian navy's submarine program.
The resurrection of the British-built vessel, which became emblematic of the sorry state of Canadian military equipment in 2004, has the Department of National Defence contemplating for the first time how best to employ its controversial subs.
One internal defence proposal foresees deploying the undersea warships to far-flung oceans, patrolling trouble spots the way the navy's frigates do today.
Chicoutimi has been fully repaired and upgraded, says the navy's top commander.
It entered the water in late November after three years of work at Victoria Shipyards Co. Ltd., a return that is about two years behind the navy's original schedule.
The submarine is in the process of being turned over to the military and the crew is expected to begin sea trial in waters off Esquimalt, B.C. over the next few weeks, Vice-Admiral Mark Norman told The Canadian Press in a recent interview.
"We're on the cusp of achieving what we laid out," said Norman, who noted the original goal of the program was to have three of the navy's four submarines operational at all times.
Chicoutimi will, however, be restricted to shallow-water diving for the foreseeable future, according to a series of defence documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
It's been a long, excruciating journey since Jean Chretien's Liberal government announced in 1998 it would buy four surplus diesel-electric boats from the Royal Navy in what was heralded at the time as a great bargain for Canadian taxpayers.
The poor condition of the mothballed submarines — they were rusty, prone to flooding and one had a dented hull — tarnished the reputation of the boats. But it was the fire aboard Chicoutimi in October 2004, which killed Lt. Chris Saunders and sent two other sailors to hospital, that nearly scuttled the program entirely.
A subsequent military board of inquiry found that an open hatch allowed sea water from a rogue wave to wash down the conning tower and inundate poorly insulated high-voltage wires, triggering the fire. Still, the 700-page report blamed no one for the tragedy, which occurred off Ireland during the ship's voyage to Halifax.
The initial estimate to repair the boat was pegged at $15 million in 2005. It quickly increased to $20 million in 2006, but internal documents suggest the price tag could run to more than $125 million, including removal of all fire-damaged components.
Originally commissioned as HMS Upholder, the ship has spent the bulk of its nearly 28-year existence either in dry-dock or tied up to a wharf.
HMCS Victoria is the Canadian navy's only fully operational submarine, having completed the test firing of a live torpedo. A third submarine, HMCS Windsor, is operational but has not gone through process of certification to fire its weapons and remains under dive restrictions.
HMCS Corner Brook is currently in dry-dock for life extension and repairs after slamming into the ocean floor off Vancouver Island.
Despite the trials, senior brass have been thinking ahead and want to see the subs play a meaningful role, possibly in extended deployments in waters off the world's trouble spots in much the same way the Dutch have utilized their fleet.
Former chief of defence staff, general Walt Natynczyk, directed before he retired that the navy develop a deployment plan that would "accelerate the strategic reach of the submarines."
Since the boats are slow and have limited range, Natynczyk envisioned the navy using a piggyback ship to whisk the submarines to support ongoing international operations, such as anti-piracy patrols off the Horn of Africa.
"The immense effort this has required, and the massive investment it represents, must now begin to yield a visible and defensible return on your investment," the former top commander wrote in a directive dated March 5, 2012.
Norman says the navy isn't quite ready for such an operation, but concedes it is a goal.
"We see this as a viable deployment possibility, looking into the near future," he said.
A number of factors would have to be considered, including the cost of transport, sustaining the submarine once it's on station, and the climate, since the boats were designed during the Cold War for operations in the frigid North Atlantic.
"Those boats are more comfortable in cold war than warm water," Norman said.
But it would be in Canada's national interest to conduct such far-flung patrols in addition to keeping tabs on the country's coastline, he added.
"If you can pre-position them in whatever area of strategic interest you may have, they become all that more useful."

Seniors look for action on pension policy promises
A group of older New Zealanders want to see the new Government take action on making changes to overseas pensions legislation, but Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin says they need to be patient as the new Government prioritises its actions.
Older New Zealanders are losing their patience with the new Government as no signs emerge of any action on pre-election promises about overseas pensions.
The New Zealand Seniors Party chairperson Paul Rea says New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has been silent on many of the promises he made to get elected.
Among those promises was that he would abolish Section 70 of the Social Security Act 1964 ensuring all New Zealand Super applicants will retain their overseas pensions without any deduction. He also said he would end the unfairness caused by reciprocal pension agreements with other countries.
However Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin says they are not ignoring the issue, and has asked Rea and the New Zealand Seniors Party to exercise some patience.
"Mr Rea has been rather unhelpfully suggesting to whoever will listen that New Zealand First has reneged on a commitment to look at the rules around Section 70.
"I know this is a highly charged issue for a group of retired people and Mr Rea has been campaigning about this for some time. But it's not something I can change overnight as Minister for Seniors.
"We were sworn in as a Coalition government just under seven weeks ago, and our focus has been on the very large issues, such as lifting incomes for families with children and putting in place the winter energy payments, that we are dealing with through the 100-Day programme.
"That doesn't mean we are ignoring the section 70 rules, simply that there are a vast number of issues that individuals and groups can feel very passionately about that the government has to consider."
Martin says she has spoken with the Minister for Social Development, Carmel Sepuloni, who has responsibility for this area.
"I know that the Minister for Social Development has asked officials to look at particular aspects of the direct deduction policy and report back to her in the New Year."

Q: Can I integrate or import code from Visual Studio Code to Visual Studio? Is there any way I can use Visual Studio Code and somehow integrate it to Microsoft Visual Studio just to use for version control after I'm done?
I mainly code with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

A: You should be able to just load the folder in VS Code and edit the files.
VSCode is not able to handle solution files so any adding or deleting will need to be done in the full Visual Studio IDE.
You will be able to edit the files in VSCode though and I do believe it supports the Source Control integration as well.

Sincere crongratulations on your instructor of the year award. Your efforts and enthusiasm have extended across the globe to make us all better at what we do.
From Paraguay, South America, Congrats on your Instructor of the Year award!!!!!!!
Chief, Congrats on your Instructor of the Year award. It has been an honor to learn from you at Monmouth County and NJCU! Hoping to see you at graduation this year.
Toronto Fire Services has used this Mayday procedure since 2007. We change channels on transmission of a Mayday and it can only be done by Incident Command. It is not an automatic move as we use repeated channels and have both a simplex and digital system. Based on what is being used and type of fire - High Rise vs. Structural/Residential or even Subway our channels are dictated by certain incidents because of radio strength and transmission capability. We do not encourage more than 2 channels as we have found FF's lose track of which sector has which channel. TFS recently used this system on Jan 3rd where we managed to resuce 2 FF's who fell into a burning 3 story structure. Everything else you mentioned is exactly the same in regards to who stays on what channel.
Hi Anthony. Thank you for responding.
Hi Anthony, hope all is well.
My scholarship to the USA has been approved and I'd like to visit your department. The dates have been brought forward to October this year to line up with an event in Europe. Is this going to be possible? I've now got such short notice to tee things up with people.

Chief, I hope all is well! We talked awhile ago regarding dispatch and lack of training standards. Check out the discussion I started. When you have the time I would like to hear your input.
There is a written component to the exam which accounts for 40% of your overall score and there is also a practical scenario where they give you a fire scenario and you have to hit certain benchmarks in allotted time (12 min?). The practical portion is 60% of the overall grade.

BELONG is a class designated to help people get connected to the ministries and the people of Naz. It is an opportunity for people to learn what it means to be a member of the Naz Family. In addition, we will explore what it means to be part of the Church (with a capital C), what it means to be Evangelical, what it means to be Lutheran. Our many ministries will be explained and opportunities for service will be presented. Optional tours of our facilities will also be available. We would love to have you join us and become part of the Naz Family.
After welcoming 36 adults and 10 children into the Naz Family in early December, we are excited to announce the upcoming spring BELONG Class.
It will be held on four Wednesday evenings, beginning after Easter. The dates will be: April 24, May 1, May 8, and May 15. Participants will be invited to enjoy a meal together. Time will be spent getting to know each other and building community. Pastor Brian and Pastor Denny will lead the class in learning about what it means to be part of the Church, to be Lutheran, to be Evangelical, and to be connected to the Nazareth family and serve by sharing time, talents and treasures.
If you are interested in joining us for the BELONG Class, please contact Lori Fegley by calling 319-266-7589 or via email: lori.fegley@naz.org.
We are also looking for current members who would be willing to serve as table hosts for these four weeks. Another opportunity for current members would be to serve as a mentor for those who choose to become new members. Please let Lori know if you are interested.


Designed by Graz architect Volker Giencke, the Great Amber Concert Hall has been inaugurated on 7 November in Liepaja, Latvia. The first – and most momentous – phase of this multistage project envisioning the construction of a cultural urban district is thus completed. In 2003, Volker Giencke won the international architectural competition for a new cultural centre in this traditional seaport on the Baltic Sea. The construction work started in 2013.
"Great Amber" is a monolithic, cone-shaped, slightly contorted structure with a transparent, amber coloured façade. This façade envelops the irregular folded work of the concrete structure built around the building's most important architectural element: the grand Concert Hall providing seating for more than 1,000 visitors.
The hall itself is surrounded by the rooms of the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra and the Music School's instruction and rehearsal rooms, thus producing a favourable blend of space to foster communication between artists, students and teachers. An additional Chamber Hall situated beneath the Concert Hall as well as a Ballet Studio and an Experimental Stage with a foyer, Bar & Music Club on the fifth floor complete the spatial concept.
The Concert Hall can also be adapted for congresses, exhibitions and receptions by elevating the orchestra pit and the stalls. Moreover, "Civita Nova" offers an additional 2,000 m² of space for multifunctional events, thus fully responding to the architect's idea of "Great Amber" as a venue catering for all kinds of purposes that is freely accessible to the people of Liepaja.
Reaching high above the roof, fourteen mirror-finished reflective tubes flood the Concert Hall with daylight, creating a unique atmosphere inside. Light plays a key role at the façade of "Great Amber", too. Attached to a delicately interwoven steel construction, its amber-coloured glazing bathes the inside area in soft warm light.
At night, the building turns into a transparent luminous element, making its interior and many different functions visible from the outside. During the day, the building's external glazing glows in varying surrounding colours and shades, offering truly stunning impressions. Convincing in terms of both architecture and content, this symbolic effect emphasises "Great Amber's" connection to the city. It is a new landmark of modern Liepaja.
Volker Giencke also developed the acoustics concept together with Karlheinz Müller / Müller-BBM, Munich; they achieved excellent results, with acoustics based on the principle of an oval, terraced vineyard. The grand Concert Hall has a seating capacity of over 1,000. Its acoustically effective volume is around 11,200 m³. When the hall and the orchestra podium are fully occupied, reverberation time still reaches 1.8 to 2.0 seconds, increasing again towards the lower frequencies, thus lending the necessary warmth to the sound.
Perfect conditions for classical concert performances. With its tiers and balconies, the form of the hall follows the classic terraced vineyard pattern, thus enabling intimate proximity to the artists on the podium while everyone in the auditorium still enjoys the full spatial acoustics, no matter where they sit. Filigree decorative elements on the ceilings and walls effect a diffuse blend of acoustics for well-balanced sound quality without excessive clarity.
The Chamber Music Hall has a seating capacity of 180 and an acoustically effective volume of 1,200 m³, guaranteeing well-balanced and sophisticated sound quality at chamber music performances. Behind large white acoustically transparent wall coverings made of fabric, variable sound absorbent curtains are used to reduce long natural reverberation times in both halls. Together with permanently installed sound reinforcement systems, this type of sound absorption ensures very good speech and consonant intelligibility in both halls.
It is therefore possible to use the concert halls, especially the larger one, for non-musical events such as conferences, lectures and congresses. "It is a wonder, something really special that only happens once in a hundred years", is how Indulis Kalns, a well-known local architect, has characterised the amazing new building. And he is quite right: it is a wonder – to marvel at, to touch and above all, to listen to.

MIAMI —
A Florida road will be named after a Black teenager whose death by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012 catalyzed a movement for racial justice.
The Miami Herald reports Trayvon Martin's name will be added to section of an avenue that leads to a high school he attended in Miami.
Members of the Miami-Dade County Commission approved the motion unanimously this week. Commissioner Barbara Jordan, who sponsored the resolution, said the teen had mechanical skills, knowing how to build and fix dirt bikes and wanted to go to college.
The portion of the county-owned road will be called "Trayvon Martin Avenue." Officials say the new signs should be ready within a few weeks.
Martin was shot dead in Sanford, Florida, at 17 while on a visit with his father. The teen was unarmed and walking back from a convenience store with candy when he was shot by George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was acquitted under Florida's controversial self-defense law. The Black Lives Matter movement emerged after a Florida jury decided to clear Zimmerman in the shooting death in July 2013.

We Speak to the Artist Who Just Redesigned the Dior Bar Jacket — Hannah Tindle
AnOther, 05.15.2019
In 1947, Christian Dior unveiled his inaugural haute couture collection in Paris. It famously marked the birth of the 'New Look', after then Harper's Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Carmel Snow declared: "It's quite a revolution, dear Christian! Your dresses have such a new look!" Dior's revolutionary silhouette transformed the "boxer-like" proportions that had dominated women's wardrobes during the war years. And dresses aside, the Bar jacket – with its softened, sloping shoulders, nipped in waist and bulbous peplum, unfolding like petals – became the garment that is perhaps most synonymous with the house.
The Bar jacket from Christian Dior's 'New Look' has never really aged, repeatedly revisited and reinterpreted by each of the maison's creative directors over the years – from Monsieur Dior's protégé Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré and John Galliano in the 1990s, and in the 2000s by Raf Simons. And for Dior's latest grande dame, Maria Grazia Chiuri, its allure clearly remains. At the end of last month, Chiuri presented Dior's 2020 resort collection in Morocco – a show she titled Common Ground. Here, she invited artists and artisans from across Africa to collaborate on the show, "[bending] herself practically double to integrate African artisanship into her work and give [it] the credit it deserves," said critic Vanessa Friedman in her review of the collection in the New York Times.
As part of this, Chiuri invited British-Jamaican designer Grace Wales Bonner and African American artist Mickalene Thomas to reinterpret the Bar jacket. This was Thomas' first major collaboration with a fashion house, having previously worked with New York-based Brother Vellies on a smaller scale. "But that wasn't as positive or rewarding as my experience and collaboration with Maria Grazia and Dior," she explains. "From the beginning of my collaboration with Maria there was mutual respect and faith for my creativity and plenty of room to express my talents. Then the magic happens…"
Thomas treated the Bar jacket like a canvas – and much like one of her mixed-media collage pieces, which often revisit famous images produced throughout art history, exploring them through the lens of black femininity. "I wanted to embrace the elegance that represents Dior and replicate some of the design based on one of my paintings," she says, citing her pieces that riff on the work of French impressionist Claude Monet. Using embroidery, glittering beading and organza, Thomas paired the jacket with an organza hat created by Dior's resident milliner Stephen Jones, and a printed lurex skirt – all worn by Angolan model Blesnya Minher.
This collaboration was also personally symbolic for Thomas. Her mother Sandra Bush – who she cites as one of her first muses – was a fashion model in the 1970s, and although she has now passed away, Bush has been immortalised in Thomas' work time and time again. "She would have loved to walk the runway for Dior," says the artist. "As I watched the show I couldn't help but think about how excited and proud she would have been." The positive experience that Thomas had while working alongside Maria Grazia Chuiri is testament to the energy that the creative director is fostering at Dior. "It's definitely one of my goals and it's on the top of my list," she says, of working with Chiuri again. "I would love to create a capsule collection – really, anything is possible."

While minor cases of social anxiety tend to go away on their own, treatment is generally needed for social anxiety disorder. No cure for social anxiety disorder is known, but treatment works for many people. Treatment for social phobia involves medication, therapy or both. A combination of social anxiety disorder treatment approaches is often most successful, particularly in those with the most severe cases.
Over 10 million adults suffer from social anxiety disorder and most can be helped with appropriate social anxiety treatment.
Social anxiety is the kind of anxiety that many people feel when being in a crowd, when meeting people for the first time or when performing for people. Social anxiety can include blushing, a shaky voice, difficulty speaking, clammy hands and other common symptoms. Social anxiety is seen in children and adults.
Medication treatment for social phobia includes several types of medication. This type of treatment for social anxiety disorder may be long- or short-term depending on the medication, but most medications require long-term use to be effective in treating social anxiety disorder. Few medications are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved in the treatment of social phobia but many medications are prescribed off-label.
Antidepressants – several types of antidepressants are prescribed for social anxiety disorder. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most common medication treatment for social phobia. Sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil) are both FDA-approved to treat social phobia.
Antianxiety – Buspirone (BuSpar) is used in the long-term treatment of anxiety disorders.
Anticonvulsants - Gabapentin (Neurontin), an anti-seizure medication, may have antianxiety effects.
D-cycloserine (Seromycin), a novel medication, may also be useful as a social anxiety disorder treatment.
Prompted behavior learning – the desired behavior (like speaking) is learned to be done in response to a prompt. This prompt is then gradually removed until the individual can act on their own.
CBT computer programs for treating social anxiety disorder are available for both children and adults. While CBT has been shown more effective than interpersonal therapy, both social phobia therapy types produce improvement in social anxiety disorder symptoms.

BREAKING! Randomized Multi-Center Clinical Trial Shows That Ivermectin Is Effective To Treat COVID-19
News Coronavirus Covid-19 Drugs
Ivermectin-COVID-19: Finally the results of a randomized trial has emerged to show the effectiveness of Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 despite numerous attempts by various big American and European pharmaceutical companies and their governments to try to suppress Ivermectin research due to greed and financial scams.
The clinical trial study was led by Iranian researchers from Qazvin university of medical sciences and involved a 45-days randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial that was designed at five hospitals. A total number of 180 mild to severe hospitalized patients with confirmed PCR and chest image tests were enrolled. The radiographic findings, hospitalization and low O2 saturation duration, and clinical outcomes such as mortality and variables of blood samples were analyzed using standard statistical analyses in SPSS (V20).
Average age of the participants was 56 years (45-67) and 50% were women. The primary and secondary results showed significant changes between day zero and day five of admission (∆ 0/5) in terms of ΔALC5/0, ΔPLT5/0, ΔESR5/0, ΔCRP5/0, duration of low O2 saturation, and duration of hospitalization (CI = 95% ). Risk of mortality was also decreased significantly in the study groups.
The study findings concluded that Ivermectin as an adjunct reduced the rate of mortality, low O2 duration, and duration of hospitalization in adult COVID 19 patients. The improvement of other clinical parameters showed that the ivermectin, with a wide margin of safety, had a high therapeutic effect on COVID-19.
The study findings were published on a preprint server and are currently being reviewed for publication into a prestigious medical journal by next month. https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-109670/v1
Numerous observational studies have already emerged to show its effectiveness to treat COVID-19 and even studies to show it effectiveness as a prophylactic drug for front line healthcare workers. https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/covid-19-prophylaxis-aiims-study-of-healthcare-workers-in-india-using-ivermectin-as-a-prophylaxis-shows-reduced-covid-19-infection
However there were concerted efforts by certain pharma groups and also clandestine business groups headed by billionaires with close ties with the Trump administration to suppress research and adoption of drugs like ivermectin, famotidine, colchine, melatonin, various herbs etc to treat COVID-19 as they rather had people be forced to take overpriced, toxic drugs with no efficacy such as remdesivir, bamlanivimab tocilizumab and the casirivimab/ imdevimab antibody cocktail along with some of the questionable soon to be approved COVID-19 vaccines. It is also speculated that Trump and his cronies including individuals like Tom Cahill etc have made billions from all these scam deals that used the no longer credible U.S. FDA to grant regulatory approvals. In some cases even the dubious Dr Anthony Fauci was said to be involved in some of these scams ie remdesivir.

The participants were randomly allocated to six arms including common regimen based on Iran health ministry (Hydroxychloroquine 200mg/kg twice per day), placebo plus common regime, single dose ivermectin (200mcg/Kg, 1 pill per day), three low interval doses of ivermectin (200, 200, 200 mcg/Kg , 3 pills in 1, 3 and 5 interval days ), single dose ivermectin (400mcg/Kg, 2 pills per day), and three high interval doses of ivermectin ( 400, 200, 200 mcg/Kg, 4 pills in 1, 3 and 5 interval days).
For all arms, radiographic findings, hospitalization time, clinical outcomes such as mortality, and clinical parameters such as account oxygen saturation testing and blood sampling absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBC), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), thrombocyte count (PLT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr) were examined on days zero and five. Assessment of gas exchange requires knowledge of fractional inspired oxygen tension (FiO2 ); unless the patient is breathing room air. Hence, all peripheral capillary oxygen saturation was measured in breathing room air at rest.
The majority of patients had favorable outcomes and Mann-Whitney U Test and χ 2 test were used to analyze and compare the variables at the day one and five of admission (∆ 0/5). As reported , complete blood count ( CBC ) evaluation of the patients among the standard and placebo and ivermectin treated (arms 3 to 6) showed that ivermectin had a good effect on blood biomarkers and improved other clinical parameters such as ALC, CRP, PLT , ESR , LDH, BUN, and Cr.
The majority of patients had desired consequence and were discharged from the hospitals. The results of preclinical consequences indicate a reduction in mortality rate in patients receiving ivermectin treatment to 0, 10, 0 and 3.3% for arms 1- 4 respectively, compared to the standard and placebo plus standard arms which was 16.7% and 20% respectively. Moreover, the decrease in hospitalization and low O2 saturating terms was significant in ivermectin treated 1-4 arms compared to the two untreated controls (P=0.006 and P=0.025 respectively). The lowest mortality rate (0%), hospitalization duration (5days), and duration of low O2 saturation (2days) was observed arm 3 with single dose of 400mcg/kg ivermectin. The risk of mortality for comparison between ivermectin treated and untreated groups with CI: 95%. The estimation confirmed 15% reduction of the mortality with risk ratio of 0.18.
The risk base estimation with CI: 95% confirms 15% reduction of mortality or about 5.5 folds increase of the mortality rate in control groups. These results are in line with Rajter et al. who reported a 40% drop in mortality of critical COVID-19 patients after oral administration of ivermectin at least in one dose (200mcg/Kg). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7550891/
Despite the positive results in this randomized trial along with numerous other studies showing the effectiveness of ivermectin and even other repurposed drugs, supplements and herbs to treat COVID-19, most will not be officially approved or accepted as standard protocols due to the corruption that exist in organizations like the WHO and the various regulatory agencies in America and also in many European countries.
Countries elsewhere should stop adopting any recommended therapeutics and protocols from America and Europe that are now reputed for scams and instead do their own research and develop their own protocols and meanwhile watch as millions get infected and die in America and the various European countries. It is up to the locals in these countries to stand up and go against such establishments and individuals in their own through whichever means to protect their lives and that of their loved ones.

Cheirogaleus sibreei är en primat i familjen muslemurer som är bara känd från tre mindre områden på östra Madagaskar.

Artepitetet i det vetenskapliga namnet hedrar den brittiska missionären James Sibree.

Arten når en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) av 20,5 till 23,5 cm, en svanslängd av 22 till 26,5 cm och en vikt mellan 220 och 360 g. Denna primat har på ovansidan huvudsakligen gråbrun päls och undersidan är ljusare till krämfärgad. Hos flera exemplar förekommer en mörk längsgående strimma på ryggens mitt. Kring ögonen och lite nedanför näsan finns en svart fläck. Kännetecknande är dessutom ett ljusare band på halsens framsida.

Efter upptäckten vid slutet av 1800-talet hittades en längre tid inga fler individer. Först 2005 blev arten återupptäckt. Utbredningsområdet ligger ungefär 1400 till 1800 meter över havet och är täckt av regnskog.

En studie från 2013 visade att Cheirogaleus sibreei är en av de arter i släktet Cheirogaleus som håller vinterdvala (upp till 5 månader) i antagligen självgrävda jordhålor, trots att den lever i regnskogar. Kroppstemperaturen är under denna tid betydlig lägre än under aktiva tider. Under sommaren vilar djuret i trädens håligheter.

I regionen pågår fortfarande skogsavverkningar och det saknas skyddszoner. IUCN listar Cheirogaleus sibreei därför som akut hotad (critically endangered).

It was fifty years ago, on September 2nd 1967, after resigning from the Van Jacket Inc., Gen Tarumi, the founder of Seilin & Co., set sail for California on the passenger-cargo ship "Brazil Maru" from the Osanbashi Pier in Yokohama, passing through Hawaii on the way.
After reaching the port of San Pedro, California, he traveled north to Los Angeles and continued up to San Francisco. Upon reaching the Haight Ashbury district, he came upon buses painted with flowers, bare-footed long-haired youth, and the scent of incense in the air. Everyone seemed to have their own individual style and the unmistakable aura of freedom. He had arrived at the dawn of the Hippie era.


In the post-Babylonian captivity period, 113 Hebrew men were required to put away the pagan women they had married while in that heathen land (Ezra -11).This is a relatively small number when one considers the fact that the whole population contained approximately forty thousand adult males.
This procedure, which clearly was more restrictive than the New Testament instruction for today (as mentioned above [1 Corinthians ff; 1 Peter 3:1ff]), was possibly an emergency measure required in a time of great danger—a danger during a critical period of history when the Messianic plan was ever closer to reaching fruition (Galatians 4:4).
There was, under the Mosaic law, a provision for how a foreign, captive woman could be taken by a Hebrew for a wife (Deuteronomy -14), though this procedure did not represent the highest spiritual plateau in the divine plan.
There are several New Testament passages which lend their support to the proposition that Christians ought to marry only those of like precious faith: (1) In the sermon on the mount, Jesus admonished his disciples to put the kingdom of Christ "first" (proton) in their lives.
Every divinely designed institution of human history was intended, ultimately, for the implementation of Heaven's plan for human salvation.
This certainly was true with reference to the home.
Numerous Christians can testify to the fact that their spiritual lives have been made infinitely more difficult since yoking themselves with those who do not share a commitment to God, to say nothing of bringing children into an environment where there are divergent spiritual influences.
My sister-in-law does not attend church nor have any fellowship apart from me but believes she is a christian because she prays, reads the bible and believes that Jesus is Lord.
But friends say she is decieved and not a christian at all, I'm confused can you be a christian and not go to church?
This is a universal circumstance, and has been since the beginning of time (though a lower marriage standard was tolerated in the pre-Christian ages [cf. The New Testament nowhere suggests, even remotely, that marriage pertains to Christians only (cf. In view of this, it is clear that a marriage between a Christian and a non-Christian is a union that is not to be severed strictly on that basis. Having noted the above, however, there are additional factors that must be taken into consideration.
