At the Senate hearing, David Spigelmyer, president of the gas trade group, the Marcellus Shale Coalition, described the game-changing role the gas industry has played in Pennsylvania– noting the state has surged to become the number two producer of gas in the nation, after Texas, and attracted $10 billion in investment toward new or converted natural gas power plants.
Thad Hill of Calpine Corporation– the nation's largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources– told lawmakers that competitive electric market policies are working, noting the shift away from the dominance by coal, toward more natural gas.
After the hearing, about 40 people gathered on the Capitol steps, holding up large black balloons to symbolize the methane pollution created by the oil and gas industry. Nadia Steinzor, of the environmental group Earthworks, said she was disappointed the Senate hearing only focused on the benefits of the gas boom.
"I think it's a real shame they only hear from one side, and not from the folks who are actually living the in gas fields," she says.
Methane is the main component of natural gas, and it can leak throughout the entire process of development. According to the EPA, natural gas and petroleum systems are the largest source of methane emissions in the U.S. Compared to carbon dioxide on a 100-year timescale, methane is over 25 times more potent as a climate-damaging, greenhouse gas.
That's why earlier last year Governor Tom Wolf announced the state Department of Environmental Protection would create new regulations to combat methane leaks from the state's gas industry. DEP is still in the process of doing that, but there have been efforts by some legislators to curtail it. Steinzor says the groups' main message to lawmakers is to stay out of the way.

I attended the International Fly Tying Syposium and I was surprised by a very popular new trend in tying: realistic flies. These flies are a bit more than just your average sort of fly which looks similar to an insect, these flies look exactly like the real bug. Mayflies which are mating, caddis that flutter, stoneflies that actually crawl and spiders which look like they will like jump out at you are all part of the collections from some of these tyers. How this got going and what motivates some of these tyers to spend 2 full weeks making one fly is what I would to understand. Clearly this is simply art and tyers trying to prefect their craft as tyers.
One of my more obscure hobbies is collecting flies from various tyers I meet. I usually try to buy these flies if I can rather than stand around and beg for one. I know how much work goes into stuff like this so I usually think it best to buy something. Most of the time I have a limited budget and I try not to buy $200 flies. When I went to this year's show and looked at some of the flies and some of the tyers, I was simply surprised at the number of tyers which are actively creating all of this interesting reproductions. I will talk about a few of the fly tyers and some of the things I saw. With some luck maybe you can see these tyers or do some web searches and look up a few sites that some of these folks maintain.
One of the most interesting tyers was Paul Wellsley. Paul is from England and has the distinct recognition of being one of the first tyers to have his bug collection seized at customs because he was imported endangered and threatened animals. Imagine that! Flies that looked so real that a customs official actually accuses you of plasticizing a bug! Paul's bugs are amazing. I saw a stonefly which took about 2 weeks to make that was unbelievable. It literally looked real. It was still a fly in that it had a hook sticking out the rear end.
Steve Thorton is the inventor of nymph skin and he is author of a new book called Listen to the River. Steve's nymph skin is a latex type material which is split into strands and is colored . Steve makes stoneflies out of this material and uses some interesting materials to make his flies. Some of his flies have appeared in our Fly Tyer magazine. Very likely you can catch Steve again at Somerset in NJ next month. Steve has a web site called the virtual nymph.
Bob Mead is one of long time tyers making realistic flies. Bob's Praying Mantis is a thing of beauty. It takes Bob something like 2 weeks to make one of these. Bob told me that he will often sort through about 300 quills looking for the exact shade and shape of feather fibers for the legs with for this fly. Bob sells flies and will be at the Danbury show and I hope he will come again to our Guild show this spring. I should warn everyone to stay out of the line of fire between Dave Brandt, Bob and Harrison Steeves. These 3 have played some serious pranks and jokes on each other.
Floyd Franke is a guide and tyer from Roscoe. Floyd is one of the founders of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild and serves as director of the Federation of Fly Fishers and serves on the Board of Governors for the Certified Casting Program. Floyd is also an instructor at Joan Wulff's Fly Fishing School. By far the best fly Floyd does are the bees and the house flies. These are very realistic looking bugs which are very cool. Some of the instructions were in a recent issue of the Art of Angling Journal , although offhand I don't remember which issue. Floyd will be at Danbury and Somerset.
David Martin is from Reno, NV. His flies were recently profiled in the Art of Angling Journal. David also sells his flies through The Flyshop of Redding , CA although you must wait in line for some time and don't even think about buying a cricket! The next he makes is mine!!!!!!! David makes some impressive flies which look amazing. If you get a chance look up this issue to see a bit more about David.
Brad Wilson made a set of wasps for me. This is in a bell jar and contains part of a real nest as the display. These wasps are wonderful and look like the real thing. I immediately snapped up this set as part of my fly collection. Brad's company is called the " The Artful Fly" his phone is: 570-537-3043.
I picked some copies of the Oliver Edward's Fly Tyer's Masterclass. These are hard backed copies signed by Oliver and not available here in the US. These are an idea gift! Hurry I have only a few copies. $35 each.
Tired of getting the same old stuff like socks and ties which stick in the back of your closet? I can help yours pick out a nice gift. Tell your Santa to give me an email and I will help them pick out a nice gift for you.
JW Outfitters is reintroducing the Tyer's bags. The old line will be dropped and the new line will out this spring. This is the last chance to buy one of the old style Pro Models. Price starts at $135. You can pack a ton of stuff in this bag. Sides of the bag makes a great place to put all of your pins on it. I keep mine packed at all times.
Thread trees are a great item for the bench. Made oak and holds a bunch of thread, wire and tinsels. I have a few left at $18.
Coming in Jan: I will be carrying the new line of Whiting necks. These are spey hackles which have no stems. The feathers are sort of like blue ear pheasant, although not as large. They are ideal for spey hackle and are very soft. Tom spendt about 4 years developing this line and nothing is available like this. Colors are mostly white and dyed. I will have most of the salmon/steelhead colors. Price I think will be around $15-$25 for #3. I should have these at the winter shows.
Shows I will be at the World of Fly Fishing Show, Danbury, CT Jan 3-5.
The next week I am the Fly Fishing show, College Park Md and I will be at Somerset Jan 23-25.


MEDINA. In pre-Islamic times called Yathrib, Medina (Madinah) became Muhammad's home after the Hijrah. An oasis 275 miles north of Mecca, it was originally an agricultural settlement, with widely scattered palm groves and armed farmsteads; among its inhabitants were both Arabs and Jews. The two groups lived in a complex political association, which began to unravel late in the sixth century CE, resulting in a grave civil war throughout the oasis. This condition led to Muhammad's invitation to leave his native Mecca and migrate to Yathrib, where it was thought by some that this charismatic holy man might successfully arbitrate the woes of the oasis. The migration (Hijrah) took place in 622 CE and marks the beginning of the Muslim era.
Once settled in Yathrib, thereafter called "the City of the Prophet" (Madinat al-Nabi), or simply Medina, Muhammad began to set the subsequent course of Islam as a religious and political society. The courtyard of his residence served as the first mosque for the Muslims. Early on, he had a falling out with the Jews and, consequently, changed his direction of prayer from Jerusalem to the Ka`bah in Mecca and modified his fasting practice, which had been based on a Jewish model.
Muhammad first regulated the political problems of Medina by gaining assent to a document (the "Constitution of Medina") knitting all the inhabitants into a single polity. Soon, however, a more peremptory solution presented itself. In 624 Muhammad and his Muslims successfully attacked a Meccan trade caravan at nearby Badr Wells. The results disheartened the Meccans and emboldened the rest of the Medinans to declare openly for their new leader and his prophetic claims. Other successes followed that of Badr Wells, and it became increasingly clear to the Medinans, and eventually to the Meccans as well, that Muhammad and his message was a force to be reckoned with in western Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death in 632, the movement called Islam had not only won Arabia but stood poised to conquer the great but enfeebled superpowers of Byzantium and Iran.
Muhammad's first four successors chose to remain in Medina, and so the oasis settlement became the capital of the new Islamic empire. The city remained, for all that, a simple place not much changed from the Prophet's own days there. During the next hundred-odd years the Muslim armies were on the march across North Africa and Iran; when they finally came to rest, and the booty of empire began to be invested in the adornment of its capital, that capital had moved elsewhere. Medina was not to be the seat of sovereignty, its rulers decided. Nor did sovereignty ever return to Medina, though eventually, under the Ottomans, it gained the ascendancy over its political rival Mecca.
The two cities also became rivals in sanctity. Muhammad himself had constituted Medina a "sacred area" (haram) like Mecca, though probably for commercial purposes since it had no shrine. But, with the Prophet's death, Medina possessed its shrine. Muhammad was buried in the apartment of one of his wives in Medina, right off the courtyard that served as the first mosque in Islam. Later rulers began to invest in the expansion and beautification not only of the mosque but of the Prophet's own tomb. Other celebrated Muslims were buried nearby: his daughter Fatimah, Abfi Bakr and `Umar (who lay next to the Prophet), and `Uthman as well. Their tombs also received secondary embellishment, but it was the Prophet's own sarcophagus, invisible inside a draped, grilled enclosure within the enlarged mosque, that began to attract Muslims to Medina. The hajj might be made only to Mecca, but a ziyarah or pious visit to the Prophet's tomb at Medina was on the itinerary of every Muslim pilgrim to the Hejaz (Hijaz).
Thus, Medina and Mecca became known as the Haraman, the "Twin Sanctuaries," and the distant caliphs and sultans who ruled the Holy Cities of Arabia rejoiced in the title "Servant of the Haraman." It was an expensive honor. The ruler was responsible for the caravans that set forth from within his domains on their long and dangerous journey to the Hejaz. They carried with them the annual allocations from the imperial budget and from private sources for the support of the personnel of the Haraman, everyone from the grand sharif who ruled them to the lowliest sweeper at the Prophet's mosque in Medina.
In medieval times Medina enjoyed little political importance. The sharif lived in Mecca by preference, and the Egyptian or Ottoman governor usually chose to live in Jeddah on the coast. What indirectly changed the political fortunes of the city was the British establishment of themselves in Egypt, thus channeling the direct communication from Istanbul to the Hejaz overland through Syria, thence south through Medina to Mecca. The Turks, to strengthen the link, constructed a telegraph line to Medina and, in 1908, completed the Hejaz Railway, which was for political reasons extended no further than Medina. Medina thus became the chief communication center of Ottoman Arabia, and so its chief garrison town as well.
When Sharif Husayn ibn 'Ali announced his revolt against the Turks in 1916, Mecca fell quickly; but Medina, with its garrison of regular Ottoman troops under the command of the redoubtable Fakhri Pasha, held out against the Sharif` s forces until January 1919. With the end of the war, Medina formed part of Sharif Husayn's short-lived Kingdom of the Hejaz. Husayn's bitter rival Ibn Sa'ud took the city without much difficulty in December 1925; it was absorbed with the rest of the Hejaz into the newly enlarged Saudi kingdom. There were misgivings at the time that the Wahhabi Saudis might extend their severe disapproval of the cult of the dead to the Prophet's own tomb in Medina, but the fears were groundless. The Saudis destroyed some minor shrines, but the Prophet's mosque and tomb they eventually made larger and more ornate than before. Medina today is a large modern city with few physical traces of its preIslamic or even medieval past.

She told officers she went over to check on the house but didn't see any signs of a break in.
She then called her father, who returned and realized the saws were gone, police said.

Police Said Parents Should Be Checking Halloween Candy Following An Edibles Bust In Pennsylvania
Who would waste money giving those out?
By Kristin Salaky
Johnstown Police DepartmentFacebook
Police in Pennsylvania issued a Facebook post warning parents to check their children's Halloween candy this year, as some THC edibles have been made to look like some popular Halloween candies.
Alongside a photo of some seized edibles, The Johnstown Police Department cautioned parents that these were made to look and taste like candies such as Nerds Ropes, so they should be paying attention when taking their kids trick-or-treating this year.
"The Johnstown Police would like to draw extra attention to the Nerds Rope edibles containing 400mg of THC found during a search warrant in Stoney Creek Twp," the post reads. "During this Halloween, we urge parents to be ever vigilant in checking their children's candy before allowing them to consume those treats. Drug laced edibles are package like regular candy and may be hard to distinguish from the real candy."
In case you were wondering, these edibles have nothing to do with Ferrara Candy Company, who makes Nerds Ropes, as they said in a statement to CNN.
"This product is counterfeit and in no way associated with Ferrara Candy Company. We want to reassure consumers that the Nerds products they find at major retailers across the country and at nerdscandy.com are safe to consume," the statement read.
Now, far be it from me to act like I know more than...literally anyone...but as many people pointed out in the comments, marijuana edibles tend to be pretty expensive and wasting them on trick-or-treaters seems like, well, a waste! We can't even get people to pass out full-size candy bars...I doubt anyone is going to drop like $10 a pop on edibles and then just send them out into the world.
To be fair, when contacted about the post, the police department clarified to Rolling Stone, it was just an attempt to "raise awareness" and they weren't trying to imply the ropes would be distributed to children.
Messages like this go out every year because we're (rightfully!) scared of...everything. I remember lining up at the hospital as a kid to get my candy scanned for razor blades. Just fun childhood things.
But urban legends of razor blades, drugs, and other scary things inside candy are just that—urban legends. Honestly, chances are these candies exist not because people want to get random children high on THC, but because adults are essentially giant children who still love candy almost as much as they now love getting high. Go figure.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be cautious if that makes you feel better. But chances are when searching your kid's candy, all you'll find are some Reese's you'll want to pocket for yourself.

Планісфера Сальвіаті — карта світу, що зображує відомі Іспанській імперії географічні дані, станом на момент її створення  у 1525 році. Карта включає зображення східного узбережжя Північної та Південної Америки та Магелланові протоки.

Історія
Вважається, що Планісфера Сальвіаті є однією з небагатьох збережених копій іспанської офіційної секретної державної карти Падрон-Реал, що виготовлялась і зберігалась картографами Каси-де-Контратасьйон в Севільї і її автором є Нуно Гарсія де Торено, тогочасний глава Каси-де-Контратасьйон.

Планісфера отримала свою назву від кардинала Джованні Сальвіаті, папського нунція в Іспанії в 1525–30 рр., який особисто отримав її від імператора Священної Римської імперії Карла V, що на той час також був і королем Іспанії.

В даний час карта зберігається в Бібліотеці Медичі Лауренціана у Флоренції, Італія.

Опис
Планісфера виготовлена і вручну розфарбована на пергаменті розміром 205х93 см.

Планісфера відома тим, що при її виготовленні автор користувався ренесансним уявленням про відкриті і ще незвідані землі. Замість того, щоб розміщувати в ще незвіданих областях уявний матеріал — міфічних чудовиськ або вигадані землі, як це було прийнято в часи середньовіччя — ці прогалини на карті просто залишені порожніми, нібито запрошуючи до їх подальшого дослідження.

vCita's Client Status feature categorizes clients according to their level of commitment to your business. This categorization enhances your client management capabilities by allowing you to filter clients by status, send marketing campaigns to appropriate audiences, and more.
Lead: A client who has not yet had business interactions with you.
Customer: A client who has had at least one business interaction with you.
VIP: A client who is especially valuable to your business.
Customers: Clients who have completed at least one appointment / attended at least one group event OR who have made at least one payment OR who have been sent at least one invoice.
After clients with a Lead status have completed an appointment / attended a group event, received an invoice OR made a payment, their status is automatically updated to Customer. In the event that a client does not keep the appointment (No Show), or if you cancel the invoice / refund the payment, the client's status does NOT automatically revert to Lead. If you wish, you may change the client's status manually.
Note: The VIP status is never assigned automatically by vCita.
You can override the default automation behavior by updating automation parameters in your Client Card Settings.
From the vCita console, open the Settings menu and select Client Card.
At the top of the page, click Client Settings Automation.
The Client Status automation settings are displayed.
To enable and disable automatic status changes from Lead to Customer, click the Automatically change lead to customer toggle button.
Regardless of how you configure your Client Status automation settings, you can always update the status of clients manually, in the vCita console. It is possible to update the status of an individual client, or change the status of multiple clients simultaneously.
For an individual client, the status is updated from the Main tab of the Client Card.
Open the Clients menu and select the relevant client from the Clients List.
The Client Card of the selected client opens, with the Main tab displayed by default.
Open the Client Status list and select the relevant option.
The selected status is automatically saved.
The Change Status bulk action enables you to update the status of multiple clients simultaneously.
Open the Clients menu. If desired, filter the Clients List according to status.
Select the checkboxes of the clients whose statuses you want to change. Then, at the top of the page, click Change status.
The Change client status popup opens.
Open the dropdown list and select a new status for the clients. Then, click Save.
The popup closes, and your changes are saved in the system.

Q: No display but video card fans spins Since I moved my computer
there's no display when I plug my screen in the video card
but works fine in the mother board.
I tried reseting the cmos, but I still have the same problem.
The fans are spining and there's a light from the card. I tried the DVI ports and the HDMI
Here's my build. I have it for 2 months and everything was working fine.
Do you think it's the video card?

*

*Asus p8z68-v pro gen3

*Intel i7 2600k

*120 GB OCZ Agility 3

*16 GB RAM Blue Corsair DDR3

*Asus GTX 570

*H80 Corsair liquid cooling

*XFX PRO750W 80Plus bronze power supply

EDIT
That's why

And I can't push more cause the card is on this

Thank you everyone! I fixed it by pushing the mobo from the other side of the case and now it fits.

A: I'm going to assume you mean when the system starts you do not get video. If this is the case, then you need to turn the computer off, re-install the graphics card, and properly secure it because it likely came loose when moving. If you properly secure a graphics card it should never come lose during travel, so make sure to actually screw it in. If this does not resolve it then either you are not properly powering it now (PSU failure maybe) or your graphics card has failed.
If you mean it shows something when the computer turns on, then turns off when it loads Windows, then that means Windows is disabling the output. When you boot into Windows (or whatever your OS is), you will need to enable the monitors on that graphics card. To do this you will need to plug one into your motherboard connected ports, boot into Windows, then enable the displays, make at least one the primary, and that will at least get one working. Then when you have one of your monitors on the graphics card, you can swap the other one onto the graphics card and enable it.

Faith Lessons through skits, songs, games & inspiring, interactive teaching.
This Camp is a parish summer catechetical program for Catholic youth in the 1st through 12th grades and is dedicated to instructing young people in the basic tenets of the Catholic faith to cultivate both a firm intellectual grounding and a solid personal relationship with Christ. It is offered by the St. Patrick Religious Formation Dept. and Totus Tuus, who will send 4 college missionary students.
We will focus on the Apostles Creed & will highlight the Luminous Mysteries of the rosary.
Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning "totally yours," was the motto of Venerable Pope John Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de Montfort's work, True Devotion to Mary, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of our Blessed Mother Mary. It also expresses our effort to give all that we have to every young person we encounter.
Totus Tuus seeks to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and an openness to their vocation. By challenging them to give themselves entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her.
7 p.m. – 9:15 p.m.
$35 each OR $90 for 3 or more.
90 spots are available for Grades 1-6 so registration will be taken on a first come first serve basis.
GRADES 1-6: Please send a lunch, including a drink, for your child Monday thru Thursday. A special hot dog lunch will be provided on Friday. All participants are asked to donate a snack ( for example a box of cookies or crackers) to share for the week. Please have your child bring it with them on Sunday or Monday.
Totus Tuus recruits 4 college students and seminarians to teach and inspire our St. Patrick Cathedral youth by conducting this week-long "parish mission". These students are selected for their energy, enthusiasm, love for the faith, commitment to spiritual growth, ability to work with a team, and desire to work with youth. They will work together with St. Patrick Cathedral staff and volunteers sharing the Gospel and promoting our Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness and Eucharistic worship.

China and U.S. announce climate cooperation as world receives dire warning
November 12, 2021	10:46 AM CST By John Bachtell
Then-U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry shakes hands with Chinese Special Envoy for Climate Change Xie Zhenhua at the COP21 climate change summit in Paris in December 2015. At the current COP26 summit underway in Glasgow, the two have announced their countries will cooperate to combat climate change. | U.S. State Department
Two mid-week jolts shook the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland: A new dire warning about global warming, followed by a ray of hope from a pledge of greater cooperation between the U.S. and China, the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters.
First came the alarm from a group of scientists and policymakers. Based on the current policies of every country, Climate Action Tracker (CAT) said, the Earth's atmosphere will heat up by as much as 2.7°C by 2100. And even if every country fulfills its COP26 pledges to reduce emissions, the group said, the temperature rise would still be 2.4°C.
COP26 is risking a "massive credibility, action, and commitment gap" that casts a "long and dark shadow" on international efforts to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by mid-century, CAT said.
The CAT study explicitly called for much greater international action to avoid ecological and societal collapse. CAT based its projection on pledges countries covering 90% of the global economy have made to reduce their GHG emissions to net-zero by 2050, or in the case of China, by 2060, and India by 2070.
More importantly, the report looked at what countries pledged for reduction by 2030, known as the nationally determined contribution (NDC). Based on these goals, the 2050 targets are not attainable.
Not far enough or fast enough
Climate activists take part in a demonstration in Glasgow, Friday, Nov. 12, 2021. Negotiators from almost 200 nations were making a fresh push Friday to reach agreements on a series of key issues that would allow them to call this year's U.N. climate talks a success. Resistance from fossil fuel-exporting nations and their companies threatened to water down any agreements, however. | Scott Heppell / AP
Both forecasts are far above the 1.5°C mark scientists say is necessary to avoid catastrophic outcomes, a target adopted at the 2015 Paris Agreement. For many vulnerable countries, including island nations, a 2°C rise is a death sentence.
"There has been insufficient momentum from leaders and governments to increase 2030 climate targets ahead of, and at, Glasgow: NDC improvements submitted over the last year have reduced the emissions gap in 2030 by only 15-17%. The biggest absolute contributions to this narrowing come from China, E.U., and the U.S., though other countries with lower emissions levels have also improved their NDCs," said CAT.
The organization did not hold back in its critiques of national governments:
"Contrary to the Paris Agreement's requirement that each NDC update is a progression beyond the last, several governments have only resubmitted the same target as 2015 (Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, Vietnam), or submitted an even less ambitious target (Brazil, Mexico). Some have not made new submissions at all (Turkey and Kazakhstan), and Iran has yet to ratify the Paris Agreement. Even with all new Glasgow pledges for 2030, we will emit roughly twice as much in 2030 as required for 1.5°. Therefore, all governments need to reconsider their targets."
CAT's research affirms another study by the scientists in a U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNCCC) issued in September, who termed the climate crisis a "code red" for humanity. Experts say the planet needs to cut at least 45% of its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to reach carbon neutrality by the mid-21st century.
As if that wasn't enough of a wake-up call, a Washington Post study of national pledges showed a massive gap between what many countries report are their GHG emissions and what they actually emit. The total gap ranges between 8.5 billion to 13.3 billion tons of unreported GHG emissions per year, about 23% of the global total.
The gap is partly due to a lack of uniform standards in how countries report or don't report emissions, the release of deliberately misleading figures, and how some countries calculate emissions vs. the ability of their ecosystems to absorb carbon emissions. The new reports only underscored international efforts to decarbonize have to be radically stepped up, especially to end the use of coal.
For the first time in the history of COP, the first draft of the Conference Final Document called for "phasing out coal and subsidies for fossil fuel." Environmental activists celebrated the achievement, but several countries, along with the fossil fuel lobby, which has a more extensive presence in Glasgow than any country, contested the language.
As of press time, the latest draft indicates opponents of the phase-outs had scored some success. The most recent version of the Final Document calls on countries to accelerate the phase-out of "unabated coal power and inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels." The qualifiers make all the difference, suggesting a move away from the unconditional demands fossil fuel-exporting countries and their companies have resisted.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said Washington backed the new wording. "We're not talking about eliminating" coal, he told fellow diplomats. As for government funds flowing into fossil fuels, however, Kerry said: "Those subsidies have to go." He acknowledged that the U.S. is "the largest oil and gas producer in the world and we have some of those subsidies."
Despite the setback in negotiations around the Final Document, some 40 countries did sign an agreement to phase out coal, larger economies during the 2030s, and smaller ones during the 2040s. The U.S., China, and India, all among the biggest coal consumers, are not signers.
China-U.S. cooperation
Youth climate activists protest that lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry have been allowed inside the venue during the COP26 U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow, Thursday, Nov. 11, 2021. | Alastair Grant / AP
But in a positive development, Xie Zhenhua, China's climate change envoy, and Kerry appeared at a surprise press conference to announce a "Glasgow Declaration." The agreement reflected the urgency of the moment and called for greater cooperation between the two countries and "enhance(d) ambitions" to reduce GHG emissions.
Both Xie and Kerry acknowledged the gap between the national plans submitted by the international community to Glasgow and what is needed to reduce emissions to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C.
U.S.–China cooperation is critical for meeting that goal. The U.S. is the largest emitter of GHG historically and presently emits more per person than any other country. China is the largest total emitter of GHG. Together, the two countries emit 40% of all GHG.
"We both see the challenge of climate change is existential and a severe one," said Xie. "As two major powers in the world, China and the United States, we need to take our due responsibility and work together and work with others in the spirit of cooperation to address climate change."
"Now the two largest economies in the world have agreed to raise climate ambition in this decisive decade," said Kerry. "The United States and China have no shortage of differences. But on climate, cooperation is the only way to get this job done."
China is the largest producer of energy from renewal sources in the world, about 32% of the total, and produces twice that of the U.S. Xie said China would begin a phase-out of coal when the new five-year economic development plan starts in 2026 and to a reduction of methane emissions.
"There is more agreement between China and the U.S. than divergence. We hope that this joint declaration can make a contribution to the success of COP26," said Xie.

Cetatea Trascăului (în a doua jumătate a secolului al XX-lea numită și Cetatea Colțești, în ), situată la vest de satul Colțești (în , în ) și la cca 5 km sud-vest de comuna Rimetea (în , în ), județul Alba, a fost construită în jurul anilor 1296 de vice-voievodul Thorotzkay din Trascău, ca cetate locuibilă și de refugiu.

Istoric
A fost ridicată cu premeditare pe vârful abrupt al unei klippe calcaroase, în urma invaziei tătare (mongole) din anul 1241, când au fost produse pagube însemnate localităților Trascău și Sângiorgiu.

Pe turnul nordic, înalt de aproximativ 20 m, se păstrează o inscripție care menționează ca familia Thorotzkay a construit castelul în secolul al XIII-lea. Inscripția de pe placa veche de piatră (traducere din limba maghiară): Cetatea familiei Thorotzkay. Construită de Thorotzkay Illés, vice-voievodul Ardealului, la finele secolului al XIII-lea. Arsă de trupele generalului Tiege în 1703. Acest panou s-a executat în anul 1832.

În anul 1470 cetatea a fost confiscată de regele Matia Corvin și dată voievodului Transilvaniei. În 1510 a revenit nobililor de Trascău (Thorotzkay), iar în 1514 a fost devastată de țăranii conduși de Gheorghe Doja.

Opunându-se anexării Transilvaniei de către Casa de Austria (Habsburg) în cadrul revoltei Curuților, familia nobililor de Trascău (Thorotzkay) a fost eliminată de pe scena istoriei, odată cu cetatea lor, distrusă în anul 1703 de către trupele imperiale austriece conduse de generalul Tiege (Lobonți).

Azi se mai păstrează o bună parte din zidurile incintei și cele două turnuri laterale.

La mai puțin de patru kilometri de castel, pe dealul Rîmeți, a fost construită încă o fortificație identică, din care acum mai există doar urme vagi, având același scop, de supraveghere și apărare a populației din zonă și a căii comerciale care traversează valea, de atacurile migratorilor.

Cetatea este înscrisă pe lista monumentelor istorice din județul Alba elaborată de Ministerul Culturii și Patrimoniului Național din România în anul 2010.

What is your favorite boxing movie? My favorite boxing movie isn't Rocky or The Fighter, although they are both fantastic. My favorite boxing movie of all time is Diggstown starring James Woods and Louis Gossett, Jr. The story goes like this – Gabriel Caine (Woods) has just been released from prison when he sets up a bet (and a con) with a business man. The business man owns most of a boxing-mad town called Diggstown. The bet is that Gabe can find a boxer that will knock out 10 Diggstown men, in a boxing ring, within 24 hours. "Honey" Roy Palmer (Gossett, Jr.) is that man – although at 48, many say he is too old. In one of my favorite scenes, "Honey" Roy Palmer has taken a Rocky style beating. He is practically knocked out, and Gabe being fearful for his friend throws in the white towel. Before it lands in the ring, Palmer heroically catches it and throws it out of the ring. He then stands up and goes "broken leg Daniel San" on his competitor and wins the fight.
Everyone is talking about Amazon.com – the e-commerce giant that seemingly owns the entire town and now have entered into B2B with AmazonSupply.com. Many companies talk about competing directly with Amazon through a specialized product set (think Blinds.com and Diapers.com – okay don't think about Diapers).
Staples on the other hand did something different. They caught and threw the white towel out of the ring, stood up, and are prepared to make this a real fight.
What's cool about this, is that the Staples b2b e-commerce marketplace competes directly not just on product, but on business model too.
Staples Inc. is on the verge of greatly expanding its online business-to-business and consumer product offerings to more than 1 million SKUs. That's up from about 200,000 today and would include categories such as power tools, medical devices and garden supplies as it prepares to go far beyond its core office supplies market and begin channeling sales from third-party sellers as well as handling its own sales on the chain's redesigned e-commerce sites, says Faisal Masud, executive vice president, global e-commerce.
Staples is B2B and B2C, but mainly B2B. They are the number 2 online commerce site, only behind Amazon.com. They already have a significant B2B and B2C site that has fantastic functionality(staples.com, quill.com, staplesadvantage.com). But now they are launching a marketplace not just to combat their office supply market share from AmazonSupply.com, but to take on their own market share on non-office related products.
And this is not going to be the end of it. There are many leading B2B organizations that see b2b marketplaces as part of their future – expanded products, focus on supply chain, delivery and drop-ship, and deep vendor relationships will enable them to do this and maybe even do this really, really well.
B2B is not just a re-purposing of B2C. To look at what B2B is doing, we DO NOT simply look at the past of B2C. We are starting to see innovation that retailers never even thought of. Can you tell I am a tad bit excited? I am, because this is just like the 80s and 90s in ERP. It is the start of wide-spread change and of business transformation.
Another of my favorite scenes in Diggstown is the very end, when through the entire 10 fights Gabe was unable to say the right thing to motivate Palmer. After the fight is over and the stadium has cleared, Gabe and Palmer are talking by themselves. Gabe says to Palmer "What you did today Roy, it couldn't be done", to which Palmer says "Now you motivate me?!?!". If you are looking at B2B E-Commerce you have found that there are not a lot of good models or examples out there. The people who talk about it are not very motivating or not very knowledgeable about actual B2B. However I promise you this, once you are done and the fight is over, you will realize what you did couldn't have been done.
P.S. Wow, I sure stretched the Diggstown example to fit here. A bit over dramatic too. Sorry.

Turn is an album by American jazz saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell which was recorded in 2005 and released on the French RogueArt label. He leads a new quintet with longtime rhythm section Jaribu Shahid on bass and Tani Tabbal on drums, pianist Craig Taborn and new Art Ensemble of Chicago trumpeter Corey Wilkes.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states "This is a remarkably focused and concise date featuring Mitchell's brand of atonal jazz mixed with his interests in other musical forms."

The All About Jazz review by Kurt Gottschalk says "As a whole, the group is comfortable together, ready to let the compositions stand and while Shahid and Tabal haven't been the most exciting parts of Mitchell's groups, here they sound better than ever."

As the world of work continues to change so do the qualities and characteristics of the managers who are going to be leading our companies. Work is not the same as it used to be and we are seeing dramatic changes in both behavior and technology not just in our personal lives but in our professional lives. This means that just because managers were successful in the past doesn't mean they will be successful in the future. When it comes to evolving the way we work managers need to possess five qualities to help their organizations evolve and succeed in the future of work.
The future management model is all about removing roadblocks from the paths of employees in order to help them succeed. This extends beyond managing people to empowering and engaging people. The traditional idea of management was based on leading by fear and the notion of command and control. Employees used to work hard to allow their managers to succeed and now it's the managers turn to make sure their employees succeed. As I've said many times, employees are the most valuable asset that any organization has. In the past managers said "jump" and the employees said, "how high?" Now, the managers are jumping with employees.
This isn't the same as technical expertise. I'm not saying that it's important for managers to all of a sudden become IT professionals. However, managers do need to understand the overall technology landscape and how it is impacting the way we work. This means having a good pulse of what is happening in the consumer web as well as understanding which social and collaborative technologies are making their way into the enterprise and what the implications of that are. Managers who have a good understanding of what is happening with technology will always be able to adapt and evolve ahead of the competition.
It used to be good enough for managers to say they supported something. A manager would just need to approve the budget and say "go for it." When it comes to collaboration and the future of work that is no longer enough. Managers need to commit to more than just funding collaboration. They need to be the ones on the ground level using the same tools that the rest of the employees are using. There is no way that employees can change and evolve (nor should they) unless they see their managers doing the same.
This goes hand in hand with being open and transparent. Our organizations were modeled after the military and if there's one thing that a commander wasn't, that was vulnerable. However, times have changed and we aren't running our organizations like the military anymore. We go our whole lives (especially men) learning how to be the opposite of vulnerable and we always have this "shield" up to keep people from seeing us when we are vulnerable. However, Brene Brown, author of "Daring Greatly," says that vulnerability is about having the courage to show up and be seen. According to Brown, "Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability." Being vulnerable isn't about being weak it's about being courageous; a key quality that every manager must have going forward.


Parents have often asked me our "secret" on how we accomplish this from year to year. Is it special food? Maybe getting hit with a paintball knocks some sense into their heads? Perhaps the wilderness experiences give them a perspective on life they have never seen while they climb a mountain?
Clearly these activities contribute to the experience; however I need to share with you our "secret." The secret is kids can be stretched and be challenged by being away from you.
The job of parenting is a balancing act. On one hand we protect and nurture; on the other hand we need to prepare our kids for the future for when they are on their own. It is a balancing act that most parents struggle to achieve and maintain.
The New York Times ran a series of articles about "helicopter parents." It refers to parents who "hover" over their kids in an overbearing manner, when the balancing act goes too far in one direction. The hovering is done at home, school, Little League and through life. The intentions of a helicopter parent are good, but sometimes the noise from the rotor is a bit much to take and can get in the way of a child becoming independent.
The constant contact situation is getting worse. Cell phones and e-mail were only the start of technology applications that tie together family members and friends. For today's adolescents, it is now text messaging because email is too slow.
We should be concerned about the helicopter parenting style for several reasons.
First, our job as parents is to prepare our kids for the real world. In the real world, adults don't have helicopters protecting them. You forget your lunch and mom is not there to drive it to you at work. Kids with helicopter parents sometimes lack basic social and survival skills. They don't know how to solve their own problems through negotiations and coexisting with other people. Accountability and responsibility is always someone else's problem, not their own.
Secondly, life is filled with consequences and we need to allow our kids to experience those consequences. Many consequences are natural, and some are spiritual. The consequences do the teaching; the parents don't need to nag, yell or embarrass the child. When we deny our kids the chance to learn through consequences, we deny them a more powerful learning opportunity than we can ever provide as parents.
Third, we undermine the child's refinement by never giving them the opportunity to fail. We all learn by doing, and if we develop children who have the fear of failure, they never will try. Failure is not falling down after trying something. You are not a failure until you don't get back up.
How does this all relate back to camp? The environment at camp is a special world where kids learn lessons through natural consequences and trial and error.
Many times, at this stage of development, adolescents will be more responsive to some non-parental involvement and coaching. As parents, we need to recognize this, not feel threatened, and enlist other adults and organizations to help support our kids as they grow into themselves – and their own identity.
This is why most camps don't allow cell phones, or for the campers to email home, or for campers to receive phone calls. It is important for the camper and the parent to have time away from each other.
On each incoming day, I meet with first-time parents, and my advice for them is always the same. You have entrusted us with your kids. We have been doing this for over many years. Go home. Relax. Have some fun. Don't feel guilty about leaving your child at camp — it is one of the best learning experiences you can give them.
Bob Strodel is the Executive Director of Camp Brookwoods and Deer Run, located in Alton.

21st Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, U.S.A.A.F
The squadron was first activated as the 21st Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron in September 1942 at Peterson Field, Colorado, USA, but apparently was not fully manned until December. It trained there until April 1943, when the squadron was reassigned from 5th Photographic Group and began its overseas movement. The squadron arrived in India in June and began deploying flights to China the following month. It served as an umbrella organization for Fourteenth Air Force reconnaissance operations in China. The squadron deployed detached flights of reconnaissance aircraft (mostly specially equipped Lockheed F-5 Lightnings and North American F-4 and F-6 Mustangs), which flew combat reconnaissance missions over Japanese-held territory from numerous forward airstrips. Squadron detachments flew missions over India, Burma, Thailand, French Indochina, Hainan Island, Formosa, Shanghai, China, the Philippines, Japan and Korea. Flight A of the squadron also performed mapping missions over Thailand and Burma. The squadron redeployed from China at the end of 1945 and was inactivated at Fort Lawton, Washington, at the beginning of 1946. Source: Revolvy.

In Europe, Migrant-Terrorist Strikes Continue
Iraqi asylum-seeker crushes motorcyclists in Berlin
By Todd Bensman on August 19, 2020
An Iraqi asylum seeker thought to have radicalized while living in a Berlin refugee center "purposefully hunted" motorcyclists in a Opel Astra sedan this week, crushing two riders Tuesday and severely injuring three passengers in another car while bulldozing one of the motorbikes into it, according to press reports coming out of Germany. No one immediately died, thankfully, though one of the cyclists was in critical condition fighting for his life this week.
The 30-year-old Iraqi identified as "Sarmad A." gave German anti-terrorism investigators plenty of reason to initially conclude he harbored an "Islamist motive" for the attack, despite past psychological treatment. Initial reporting had it that Sarmad allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" during his attack, laid a prayer rug on the street and began praying afterward, and maintained a Facebook page where he supported ISIS and seemed to foretell that he planned to become a martyr in a way that involved a car.
The Berlin vehicle-ramming (a tactic frequently recommended by ISIS and Al Qaeda) extends a run of jihadist attacks and plots by migrants resettled in a dozen European countries among some three million refugees from the Islamic world since the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 and the early Syrian civil war years.
This week's Berlin attack also adds to Center for Immigration Studies research on the phenomenon published in November 2019, which quantified the attacks through 2018 as evidence of a new global terror tactic: terrorist border infiltration and abuse of asylum systems. The CIS study found that between 2015 and 2018 alone, at least 104 border-infiltrating Islamic extremists from Muslim-majority countries like Iraq attacked, plotted, or successfully hid from European asylum adjudicators their past terrorist group memberships and atrocities.
Europe's tragic experience with refugee resettlement from Muslim-majority nations holds lessons for American homeland security strategists and policy-makers, especially the extent to which security vetting is incorporated as a central component in any national strategy to manage border-crossing migrants arriving as strangers without identification at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Since the 2018 end of the CIS study period, scores more migrant-terrorists who came in over Europe's borders as supposed refugees have attacked or were arrested while plotting mass-casualty and smaller-scale attacks.
For instance, as I reported for CIS in May, Spanish police arrested one of Europe's most-wanted terrorists, Egypt-born Majed Abdel Bary — the so-called "ISIS rapper" — after he posed as an asylum-seeking migrant this year, traveling from Syria to North Africa and hiring a smuggler in Algeria to ferry him across the Mediterranean Sea on a wooden "patera" boat. Authorities found him after just five days, plenty of time for this particular proven jihadist killer to have done some damage.
In April, German anti-terrorism police rounded up five Tajik asylum seekers, ranging in age from 22 to 32, as they allegedly were about to attack two U.S. Air Force bases. The five apparently "all entered the country as refugees" and had been on intelligence radars for some time. (So, too, was Sarmad A.) All applied for political asylum, which afforded them time to form a cell and to stockpile automatic weapons, ammunition, and the components for anti-personnel explosives to kill U.S. soldiers.
France, which has suffered the attacks of migrant-terrorists almost as much as Germany, took another one in April when a Sudanese migrant asylum-seeker went on a stabbing spree and killed or wounded half a dozen bystanders in the name of jihad. He, too, was arrested while praying.
Even though the height of Europe's migrant crisis pretty much ended in 2017, those who came in before then and after keep attacking. Far too many to discuss here.
But the French newspaper Le Parisien, in covering the latest German attack, noted that German authorities have foiled a dozen attempted vehicle-ramming attacks since an infamous December 2016 one by an asylum seeker who drove a truck over 12 people at a Christmas market, including two in November 2019. And there was a thwarted "biological bomb" attack in June 2018 by a Tunisian linked to ISIS. Since 2013, the number of Islamists considered dangerous in Germany increased five-fold to stand at 680 at the moment. The number of Salafists is estimated at 11,000, twice as many as in 2013, Le Parisien reports.
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel has often been accused, especially by the far right, of having contributed to these attacks by generously opening her country's borders to hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants in 2015," the paper concluded.
Attributing the security concern about strangers from terrorist-rich countries solely to the so-called "far right" suggests that no one else on the political spectrum shares it, even in the wake of actual bloodshed, real funerals, expensive security arrangements in European cities, and terrorism trials that send migrant-terrorists to authentic prisons.
If it is true that only the "far right" still thinks about such matters, then it is also true that this is what led to Europe's tragedy in the first place. And probably will, eventually, to something like it in the United States.

FAQs about ICDs
FAQ's about CRY's Research
Parliamentary Reception
The beating heart of British democracy was certainly an appropriate place for the Cardiac Risk in the Young reception! And what a beautiful location. The imposing statue of Oliver Cromwell greeted me at security, paintings of significant moments in British history lined the corridors on the way to the reception. The room itself overlooked the Thames – it was so close you could have stepped out onto its gently lapping waters!
The whole event was at the same time enjoyable and very moving. The two patrons who gave speeches highlighted the pain of bereaved families and emphasised the importance of screening to help save lives in future just like those we have lost. Vincent Regan gave a powerful reading of a lament written by Shakespeare for his son through the voice of one of his characters. I must say, it brought tears to my eyes.
Prof Sharma revealed the exciting news about CRY's significant contribution to the new international sporting guidelines on cardiac health.
I was pleased and humbled to meet other myheart members whose heart conditions were still undiagnosed, or who would live with their conditions for the rest of their lives. I realised just how lucky I was to have had the option of a simple ablation. It motivated me to continue to support CRY so that in the future, others may have just as straightforward cures for their heart conditions. After all, once upon a time an ablation was a revolutionary operation, and with increased technology and research in cardiology, other, as yet impossible procedures will be able to save even more young lives.

In the next free concert in the 2017 series the Musica Poetica Consort present a beautiful programme of a cappella vocal music. Join us at 1.10pm on Thursday 30 March in the tranquil setting of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate in the heart of the city of London.
Music by two exact contemporaries will be showcased in this event: the all-but-forgotten Johann Christoph Demantius and the never-to-be-forgotten Claudio Monteverdi, both composers living from 1567 to 1643.
Demantius' music represents a transitional phase in German Lutheran music from the Renaissance to the Early Baroque. His St John Passion is a fascinating example of the German "motet Passion", and his motet for six voices Und wie Moses in der Wüsten (And like Moses in the desert) nods to the Italianate style which so inspired Tunder.
In contrast, Monteverdi's immense output and musical influence through his instrumental and vocal works have placed him as a towering transitional figure between the Renaissance and the Baroque in the annals of musical history.
Nowhere is this transition from the older polyphonic style to the new concertante style displayed more clearly than in his glorious Missa in illo tempore for six voices. Dating from 1610, this was dedicated to Pope Paul V.
Join Musica Poetica and six of the UK's best consort singers for this atmospheric Lenten programme as part of the Tunder World 2017 series.

The other day, one of our server edition users send us screenshot of a hard drive with 3TB, saying that only the front 2TB can be recognized and used, the rest about 790M cannot be managed in Disk Management, we told him it's the limitation of MBR Disk and do a conversion on MBR to GPT disk will solve the problem.
Many large capacity hard drives with 2TB and more are now becoming popular in recent years, with the price getting lower at the same time, so when we search "hard drive" in amazon, we can see many products with different parameters are listed there, but none of them mentioned we should initial disk to GPT when insert new drives size over 2TB.
Initialize disk in Windows Disk Management is to prepare disk for using, after initialized and formatted, new disk can be read and write by Windows. So all you have to do is to right-click on the new hard drive and select "Initialize" in Disk Management, then a new window pops up, asking you to choose MBR or GPT before proceed, then What is MBR and GPT, what're the differences, how to compare them?
Stands for Master Boot Record, stores essential boot loader for installing operating system and information on logical partitions, with which Windows can load larger boot loader from another partition in the disk. limitations of MBR are part of the example we mentioned above: 2TB at most can it support; other part is only 4 primary partitions can be created on the disk, if you demand more than four partitions, there're more you should do, delete one primary partition first, and create Extend Partition, and the final steps to create one more logical partition. But the main reason people want to convert MBR to GPT is the capacity limitation.
Stands for GUID Partition Table, has no limitations on capacity over 2TB, and you can created as many partitions as you like on a GPT disk; besides, with the more and more computer capable of UEFI booting in motherboard, installing system on GPT disk is getting common too. It gradually replaces MBR disk, and we have reason to believe it will be the only partition table in the near future when large sized hard drive becomes commonplace.
Disk management is the first option to initialize disk to MBR or GPT, but when we already partitioned disk and stored data in each partition, Convert to GPT greys out when you right-click on the disk to do a conversion. It will become active again only when you deleted all partitions on the disk, so Microsoft support page will advise you to do a backup before the conversion, but where shall we backup more than 2TB data to when we only have one single disk installed on the computer?
We also have screenshots guide on how to convert MBR to GPT in Partition Expert, Disk Management and Diskpart command line.


The national federation says CAF president Ahmad confirmed the switch after meeting Sunday with Guinean President Alpha Conde. The meeting in Conakry was also attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
The deal can allow CAF to confirm hosts for the next four editions through 2025. Its executive committee meets Wednesday in Senegal to pick Egypt or South Africa for the tournament in June.
Cameroon, whose stadiums were judged not ready for the 24-team tournament, can now get the 2021 tournament originally awarded to Ivory Coast, and the 2023 edition can go to Ivory Coast instead of Guinea.

Catalan Sign Language (LSC) is the language of the community of Catalan signers. Since 2004, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC) (Institute of Catalan Studies) has supported and promoted different initiatives for the research and dissemination of this linguistic and cultural reality and it has been actively involved in its process of legal recognition both in Catalonia and in the State. The Philological Section (Secció Filològica) has incorporated LSC as another object of study in its scientific activity and it regularly collaborates with the Federació de Persones Sordes de Catalunya (Federation of Deaf People of Catalonia) and with the universities in activities of research and promotion of the LSC.
With the Catalan Sign Languag e law passed by the Parliament of Catalonia on May 26, 2010, the IEC became the regulatory authority for this language, which promotes research and must establish its standard in the future. We present the first version of the Catalan Sign Language Portal as an initial step in this direction, with the intention of turning it into a reference website that collects all the linguistic resources available in the study of LSC and makes them available to its users, its researchers and society in general.
