UN Urges Lebanon's Parties Not To Back Foreign Conflicts

UNITED NATIONS (AP) —
The U.N. Security Council is calling on all Lebanese parties to implement a policy disassociating themselves from any external conflicts "as an important priority," a statement that appears clearly aimed at Hezbollah which has sent fighters to Syria.
The council also reiterated its call for implementation of its resolutions which "require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon so that there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon" except those of the state.
The council statement issued Friday night welcomed the Jan. 31 announcement of Lebanon's national unity government, which broke a nine-month deadlock, and encouraged all political leaders "to address the pressing security, economic, social and humanitarian challenges facing the country."
Hezbollah, the powerful Shiite group, made significant gains including control of the health ministry.

Very simply, when THC connects to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site on the cancer cell, it causes an increase in ceramide synthesis which drives cell death. A normal healthy cell does not produce ceramide in the presence of THC, thus is not affected by the cannabinoid.
This is interesting. Our own endocannabinoid system covers all cells and nerves; it is the messenger of information flowing between our immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). It is responsible for neuroprotection, and micro- manages the immune system. This is the primary control system that maintains homeostasis; our well being.
Typically CBD gravitates to the 5-HT1A and Vanilloid receptors. CBD stimulates production of Anandamide and AG-2, endogenous cannabinoids that are agonists for CB-1 and CB-2 receptors. From there, immune cells seek out and destroy cancer cells. Interestingly, it has been shown that THC and CBD cannabinoids have the ability to kill cancer cells directly without going through immune intermediaries. THC and CBD hijack the lipoxygenase pathway to directly inhibit tumor growth. As a side note, it has been discovered that CBD inhibits anandamide reuptake. Here we see that cannabidiol helps the body preserve its own natural endocannabinoid by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down anandamide.

"Better Local Govt Administration Will Quicken Pace Of Development"-Glo Chairman, Mike Adenuga
Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr., The Chairman of Globacom, Nigeria's fully-integrated telecommunications solutions provider, has advocated for better local govenemnt administration.
Dr Adenuga who made the statement stin a goodwill message to the 3rd Annual Oba Adetona Professorial Chair Lecture of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye., Ogun State noted that putting in place the right political structures at the local government level will quicken the pace of development in the country
He stated that the local government was critical to nation building, noting that if the values of honesty, hard work, accountability and good character were imbibed at the grassroots, it would be easier to achieve good governance at the state and federal levels.
He said this was why Globacom identified with the theme of the Lecture "Grassroots Governance, the soft underbelly of Nigeria's political architecture", adding that "if we get it right at the local government level, we will get it right at the top as all politics is local".
Globacom sponsored the lecture which was held in Ijebu Ode on Friday to celebrate the 85th birthday of the Paramount Ruler of Ijebu land, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
Dr Adenuga, who last year donated N20 million in support of the Professorial Chair at the institution said it had served as a forum to generate seminal ideas for the enthronement of good governance in the country.
He commended Oba Adetona for donating the Chair at the Olabisi Onabanjo University.
In his own speech at the event, Oba Adetona expressed gratitude to Globacom and the people of Ijebuland for their unparalleled support for him over the years, adding that it had led to great development and progress in his kingdom
The current occupier of the Chair who also delivered the lecture, Professor Ayo Olukotun, said that local governments in the country had failed and should be replaced because of the yawning gaps in development.
Also speaking at the Lecture, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Professorial Chair, Mr. Olatunji Ayanlaja, announced that Oba Adetona had created a N1 Billion Trust Fund of his personal money for the maintenance of the Awujale's Palace.
He added that the official residence and the office of the Chair at the Olabisi Onabanjo University would be ready for commissioning in three months

Should change of Service Chiefs be the Cardinal Concern?
Sky Daily
By Sabo Ibrahim Hassan
The notion of anticipating miraculous security transformation as soon as the current service chiefs are surrogated, keeps growing profoundly in the minds of many Nigerians. What is of paramount significance, remains beyond the 'call for change' headlines. Although the probability of security restoration is unignorable if our military service chiefs are replaced, yet, the key factors sabotaging the collective relentless effort of our military should be preeminently given utmost consideration.
Amid the thirst for peace in Nigeria, the current administration came into power in 2015, and afterwards, on 13th July to be specific, new military service chiefs were announced and the news left many Nigerians over the moon, rekindling the dormant hope of reclaiming the nation's stolen peace by Boko Haram. Shortly after the service chiefs were replaced, normalcy began to reign, and many security challenges became more or less tackled.
Disappointingly, the insecurity is exponentially regaining its potency these days, puzzlingly changing in different forms, and frequently claiming more lives. In fact, the entire military endeavor seems to be alarmingly reverting. It is for this reason that, the ongoing call for service chiefs replacement becomes prevalent.
What remains behind the headlines is that, the military is seriously starving for new applicable strategies, sophisticated fighting equipment as well as financial policies that will awaken their motivation to fight the existing insecurity strengthfully. This is why many security experts keep singing for the change of our service chiefs. It is very hopeful that if new service chiefs emerge there will be breed of new strategies capable of countering the pervasive security challenges.
In a recent lamentation via a letter of voluntary disengagement by 356 soldiers, a complete loss of interest was expressed regarding the service, similarly, soldiers where also seen in a viral video expressing their grief over poor quality of their fighting equipment. It is also worthy of note that, many have complained about their unimproved allowances.
However, Boko Haram terrorists are believed to be in possession of sophisticated weapons with which they carry out their frequent attacks. While answering questions from journalists during a media briefing on Thursday, July 2, 2020, DHQ spokesperson, Major-General John Enenche, said the terrorists use enough expensive sophisticated weapons to suggest they are being sponsored.
Therefore, the need for new policy capable of improving the allowances of the soldiers, especially those of lower ranks and at the war frontline, becomes incumbent. Should these problems persist even with the change of military service chiefs; the change will definitely remain ineffective.
It is also worthy of ample consideration that, our soldiers at the war frontline should be militarily re-motivated through provision of more recently advanced sophisticated weapons. Without such concern, the call for service chiefs replacement will continue to be a 'political song'.
Additionally, some families of Nigerian Soldiers slain in battle were reported to be in serious financial difficulty, due to the long tiring process involved in clearing the next of kin before gratuity is released. This has greatly declined the courage of many soldiers, as to what will life be like to their families when they are gone?
To counter this loss of hope in the minds of our soldiers, every possible way that can make the long-irritating process simple, should be timely implemented. By simplifying things to families of the slain soldiers, those in the battlefield will feel more hopeful on their country and will do everything possible to secure the peace of its atmosphere.
On the flip side, most attacks by terror groups appear to be strategically carried out, especially that of Boko Haram, indicating that attackers are sufficiently trained for the task. As a matter of urgency, our soldiers surely need adequate manpower as well as advanced counter-offensive training that will enable them to always think outside the box. Our demand for foreign help should be capitalized on advanced counter-attack training of our junior soldiers. If the situation remains unchanged even with new service chiefs, insecurity will definitely continue to reign.
Relentlessly, all hands must be on deck to bring an end to the existing conspiracy within the military. The call for a completely sanitized military system is negligible relative to the call for change of service chiefs. All efforts are automatically multiplied by zero wherever connivance exists. Curbing this is not a few men's business, the effort must be across the board in order to seal all possible leakages.
Unless all existing problems ranging from, poor applicable strategies, unimproved allowances, absence of sophisticated fighting equipment, insufficient enhanced counter-offensive training, inadequate special consideration of the family of slain soldiers and termination of conspiracy are primarily considered, a thousand change in military service chiefs will remain a futile task.

FRIDAY SERMON: Teaching Children How To Read And The Importance Of...


March 2, 2015|Posted in: Happy, Healthy, Smart Kids!
Long before your baby is even born she will hear and recognize the sound of her mother's voice. A newborn baby is comforted by the familiar sounds of its parent's voices just minutes after birth.
Babies whose parents talk to them often will usually learn to talk sooner and be more verbal than babies who aren't talked to as much. My children and grandchildren are evidence to that fact. When I took my one year old daughter to the doctor for a well baby check he asked me if she knew how to say five words. I proudly told him it was more like fifty words. At two years old my grandson used words like, "otherwise and actually." Even toys that talk to baby help them learn language. Another grandson learned his letters all on his own at two years old by playing with a child's electronic tablet.
So talk to your baby abundantly and surround him with language from the moment he is born (and even before)!
Ask Questions and talk to Baby about His Emotions Ask him questions like, "Why are you crying? Are you hungry?" or "Are you tired?" Do you want to go night-night?" Of course your baby won't answer your questions. But he will learn to recognize the words that describe how he's feeling. He will also sense that you care about his feelings and it will help him develop a sense of security.
Tell baby about how you're feeling. "Your smiles make Mommy happy!" "Daddy is feeling too tired to play right now." Explain how others are feeling, "That baby is crying because he wants the toy." This will lay a foundation for helping your baby to learn empathy.
Talk to Baby about What You are Doing. Tell her, "Mommy is helping brother put his shoes on" or "Daddy will get you a baba." Also, name things for baby such as "nose, eyes, rattle, diaper, grandma." Doing this will help your baby recognize the words that label people, objects and actions.
Sing Songs, Play Games, Laugh and Be Silly. Your baby will love it when you sing to him, whether it's lullabies like Rock a Bye Baby or the Top Forty! Play Peek a Boo, This Little Piggy, and Pat-a-Cake! Laugh, pull faces and make raspberries! All of these things help you bond with baby and the help him develop language.
Praise Baby, Encourage Her and Tell Her You Love Her. Don't just express your love for your baby with hugs and kisses. Let them hear you say the words, often! Tell her when she does a good job. Express to her in words that you are proud of her and you believe she can learn and do new things.
Explain Things to Baby and Give Him Simple Instructions. Tell baby why he must have vaccinations or why he must wait until you pay for it to open the toy. He won't understand your words but he will be comforted by your tone of voice. Don't worry about using words your baby doesn't understand. Hearing those words is how they learn to understand them. And it's ok to talk about things they haven't yet learned about. All of these things will help baby learn language.
So talk to your baby all the time and about all kinds of things. Speak clearly and use short simple sentences. Name objects, actions and feelings for baby. All of this will help you and your baby become closer. Surround your baby in an enviornment rich in language and verbal stimulation. That is the very best way to help her to develop language so she can communicate with you sooner!

This is so true! Just this morning my 9 month old son was crying, I said "Are you hungry?" And he stopped crying and looked up at me, then I gave him breakfast!
Great suggestions for all our daughters and daughter in laws who might be expecting. Thanks for linking up with Blogging Grandmothers.
Love this post! I talked to my kids and grandbabies all the time. Singing songs, reading to them, constant interactions is what they need. Sad to say though, so many babies, toddlers, and children don't get this kind of special attention 🙁 Thanks Lori from Grammy Dee, #BloggingGrandmothers #LinkUp #BlogParty, social media shared.
Oh, one more thing – Cute, precious baby! Is he your grandbaby?

James Harden Face
And Then There Were Four: NBA Playoffs Report by Ben Galli @bengalli33
Houston Rockets: 4 / Los Angeles Clippers: 3 (My Prediction: Clippers 4-2)
Chris Paul cannot escape his demon deacons. This was Paul's tenth year in the league and he turned 30 earlier this month. In 7 career post-season appearances, Chris Paul has never gotten past the 2nd round. He has the reputation of being both the best pure point guard in the league and notoriously hard on his teammates. Obviously he is not entirely to blame but the buck does stop with the president. (Paul literally is the president of the NBA Players Association.) The Clippers infamous Game 6 collapse, where they squandered a 19 point late 3rd quarter lead, was followed by a shocking game 7 Rockets triumph that saw the Clippers down by 17 heading into the 4th.
In the end, Lob City became Sob City and the Clippers expanded on their own personal theme of futility and disappointment. It's their brand, people. It should be noted that the Rockets came back in Game 6 with James Harden only playing 12 seconds in the 4th quarter. Besides Paul and Griffin who combined for 59, J.J. Redick was the only other Clipper to hit double digits in points with 15. Houston head coach Lurch McHale became the first person to come back from a 3 games to 1 deficit as both a player and a coach having won as a Celtic back in 1981 against the 76ers. That year Boston won it all, beating the Houston Rockets in the finals.
Golden State Warriors: 4 / Memphis Grizzlies: 2 (My Prediction: Warriors 4-2)
Houston will be moving on to face the Golden State Warriors, who won 3 straight against Memphis to advance to the Western Conference Finals. There was some panic early on in the series when Memphis went up 2 games to 1, but the Dubs assembled into formation and marched on Memphis, winning the next 3 games by an average of 16.7 points. Steve Kerr has done a fantastic job in his first year as a head coach and Golden State is rounding into form. They were the talk of the NBA this year with the 4th most regular season wins of all time and the ridiculously ravishing league MVP, Steph Curry.
Of course this series is all about the MVP runner up James Harden and the battles between Curry and he. I guess the Rockets should have respect because they just beat the team that took out San Antonio in 7 but Houston did lose all 4 regular season head to heads with Golden State. Josh Smith can be a wild card and both teams are coming in hot. The West has belonged to Golden State this year however, and Houston will have problems.
Pick: Warriors in 6
Atlanta Hawks: 4 / Washington Wizards: 2 (My Prediction: Wizards 4-3)
Paul Pierce almost did it again. He seemingly hit a buzzer beater on Friday that would have sent Game 6 to overtime and keep Washington's playoff hopes alive. But the video showed him still releasing as time expired and a shoddy series came to a thankful end. With all the talk of Atlanta's team basketball and 60-win season, they have not looked great in these playoffs. But that's always been Atlanta's style. They're a bit under the radar and very frustrating to watch. If they're missing their shots, it can be downright painful. It's an annoyance simply to write about them right now. If you haven't heard by now, I am not a fan. The Wizards are young and on the up and up. If they sign hometown legend Kevin Durant, they will be instant contenders and can alter the balance between the Eastern and Western Conference. But that's a year or so down the road and Atlanta is the next obstacle on Cleveland's path to the Finals.
Cleveland Cavaliers: 4 / Chicago Bulls: 2 (My Prediction: Cavs 4-3)
There were some casualties in this war. The series started out living up to the billing and then kind of ended with a whimper. Back to back buzzer beater heroics in Games 3 and 4 from D Rose and LeBron sure were special, though. Cleveland won a crucial game 5 but game 6 was very anti-climactic which turned out to be great for the Cavs. I don't know if the season-long rumors of Tom Thibodeau's falling out with Bulls management finally got to the team but they did not end Game 6 playing with any type of playoff urgency. Sad, really. Thibs will find success elsewhere soon but I don't know if Chicago should make a change. A John Calipari, who coached a freshman named Rose to an NCAA title game is waiting in the wings amidst rumors of an impending move to the NBA. (There's also a former Calipari player with questionable grooming habits who just saw his coach fired in New Orleans.) The big news for the Cavs is that Kyrie got hurt and then got hurt some more. Irving was hampered with a right foot strain and left knee tendinitis but will have nearly a week off. He's already stated that he's good to go for the Hawks series.
For as lacking as the Hawks have appeared in this year's playoffs, the Cavs should not take them lightly. The Hawks won 3 of 4 regular season match-ups against Cleveland and they can cause some trouble for Cleveland. LeBron is on a mission and the Cavs are winning despite some banged up bodies and with their 3rd superstar out, most likely forever in Cleveland. If the Hawks are shooting like they've done for the majority of the season and Horford can be a scoring force, Atlanta can push the series to 6, maybe 7. But fuck Atlanta.
Pick: Cavaliers in 5

How to Ruin a Wonderful Space
The Devonian Gardens in 2007. Photo by norrix
The Devonian Gardens were a wonderland. Located on the top floor of the TD Centre mall in downtown Calgary, the gardens were a fully-enclosed greenhouse of tropical plants and — best of all for a kid — a million nooks and crannies to explore. It seemed like every path led to something fascinating: a hidden alcove surrounded by palms, a wood-framed playground teeming with children, a pond filled with turtles and goldfish, ringed by little coin-operated dispensers that spat out fish food instead of candy. There was an outdoor terrace, too, and in the winter it was exhilarating to emerge from the warm, soupy air of the gardens into the stingingly dry cold.
Built in the late 1970s and donated to the City of Calgary by the Devonian Group of Charitable Foundations, the gardens were operated as an indoor public park, open without restriction for most of the day. It was a popular spot for office workers to eat their lunch, munching on sandwiches as nannies and mothers pushed their babies down the brick paths. Men gathered in the afternoon to play chess near the gardens' front entrance. There were more than 135 species of plants, many of them tropical, and in a dry prairie city that is brown for most of the year, the gardens felt almost surreal in their lushness, a feeling enhanced by the contrast between the jungly vegetation and the banal artificiality of the design: brown bricks, brown metal railings, faux stone waterfalls that looked like they came from the set of a cheap dinosaur movie.
Five years ago, on a February trip to Calgary, I made a point to walk through the Devonian Gardens when I spent an afternoon photographing the Plus-15 network of interconnected second-floor spaces that spans most of the downtown area. I had no idea it would be the last time I saw the gardens in their original state. Shortly after my visit, TD Centre and two adjacent malls closed for a years-long renovation that included a makeover for the gardens. When they reopened last summer, it became clear that it was much more than a makeover: it was a complete gutting of everything that had made the gardens special.
Gone was the unruly tropical vegetation, replaced by a much smaller and less diverse collection of excessively pruned trees and bushes. The turtles were gone, too, deemed too risky because they could carry disease or bite park visitors (though there's no indication this ever happened). Perhaps most crucially, the barrier between the gardens and the shopping mall below were removed, turning a greenhouse into a landscaped seating area for the food court, with mall noise to boot. Apparently, one of the motivations behind the design of the new gardens was to open up the space to make it easier to rent out for corporate events, and that's exactly how it feels: like a conference centre. There's nothing left to explore, no room for the imagination to wander. It's a garden in name only.

I couldn't agree more. After a lot of hype, I was shocked when they re-opened. That said, hopefully the vegetation will grow back somewhat (though there doesn't seem a way for it to match what was there previously), and there were some fairly serious water/tree/building structure issues that needed very invasive repair. But I do miss the lushness and decrepitness of the old gardens. On a related note, Century Gardens (8 Street at 8 Avenue SW) is also being looked at for 'renewal'…

I HATE the new devonian gardens. I was so excited to see it when it reopened. My 9 year old son and I went down one sunday expecting to spend the afternoon and left in 10 minutes! I had tears in my eyes as some of my fondest memories of when I was a kid were made here. Way to go Calgary. NOT!!!!!

Q: Working with searches and query API. Executing a SOQL query using "IN" clause
select Id, Name from Contact where Email in
  ('apple+super@gmail.com','apple+100@gmail.com')

Can anyone help me to query this using the salesforce query api endpoint.
The endpoint that I have tried

https://{myWorkplaceDomainUsed}--sandbox.cs67.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v42.0/query/?q=select+Id+from+Contact+where+Email=%27apple+super@gmail.com%27

and the response that I get is:
{
    "totalSize": 0,
    "done": true,
    "records": []
}

Records are present in salesforce but the result is not displayed.
I even tried escaping query string with "\". The URL that I used is:

https://{myWorkplaceDomainUsed}--sandbox.cs67.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v42.0/query/?q=select+Id+from+Contact+where+Email=\'apple+super@gmail.com\'

and the malformed query is the resulting respone.
What will be the correct way to query my SOQL using "IN" clause?
Thanks in advance

A: You should put ' ', but you don't need to escape them try that one https://{myWorkplaceDomainUsed}--sandbox.cs67.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v42.0/query/?q=select+Id+from+Contact+where+Email='apple+super@gmail.com'.
If you want IN you can use it like this https://{myWorkplaceDomainUsed}--sandbox.cs67.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v42.0/query/?q=select+Id+from+Contact+where+Email+IN+('apple+super@gmail.com', 'email@test.com')
UPDATE:
Code for IN close with escaping for '+' emails
List<String> emails = new List<String>();
// init emails;

String emailString = '(\'' + String.join(emails, '\', \'') + '\''.replaceAll('\\+', '\\\\+');

String query = '... Email IN ' + emailString;

Electric heaters were manufactured that could function as both permanently fixed or temporary sources of heat. A major advantage of the electric heater is that it requires nothing more than a level spot and an electrical outlet for use. Portable heaters today are almost all made to use electricity, although portable heater options for camping may employ kerosene.

Game of Thrones Theory: Daenerys Is The Final Villain Of Season 8
Game of Thrones' heroes still have to defeat the Night King and Queen Cersei - but what if the real villain of season 8 is Daenerys Targaryen?
by Rose Moore
With the second episode of season 8 about to hit screens, Game of Thrones inches ever closer to its finale - and the series' final villain may actually turn out to be none other than Daenerys Targaryen. From the start, Game of Thrones has never been a show with straightforward good guys and bad guys; the inhabitants of Westeros are gloriously complicated, with motivations that are nuanced and changeable.
Those that seemed the worst in the first season may be the ones that fans are rooting for by now: Jaime Lannister, once simply an arrogant, incestuous rich boy who pushed a kid out of a tower, has become a fan-favorite, giving up his family name to ride North and join the fight to save Westeros. Others have become darker: Sansa Stark started out as a naive girl who dreamed of nothing more than silk dresses and a prince to marry, and has now become a hardened and dangerous political player.

However, one character may yet be the biggest one to fall from hero to villain: Queen Daenerys, Mother of Dragons. Sansa and Sam both have concerns about her, and shocking news will likely cause Jon to reconsider his relationship with her. Jon has a rightful claim to the throne that Daenerys has been ruthlessly seeking for years - and she's not the kind of woman to let anything stand in her way.
Season 8's Premiere Frames Jon as a Hero, and Daenerys In A Darker Light
One of the few characters who has been purely heroic from the start, and who remains so now, is Jon Snow (a.k.a. Aegon Targaryen). This is in stark contrast to Daenerys, who started the first season as an innocent, and who grew to become a savior Queen, but now has become a whole lot darker. Jon's journey has seen him consistently make difficult, but just, decisions when thrust into positions of unasked for leadership - while Daenerys seeks out power, and struggles to balance her need to be respected with her desire to do good.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the season 8 premiere, where Samwell Tarly acts as the character who truly shows the audience the difference between them. As one fan pointed out on Twitter, Sam (as a character whose house has no real horse in this race, but who is deeply involved in the narrative) is a surrogate for the audience in the series, and the way that he sees both Jon and Dany in this first episode of the final season is incredibly telling.
At the end of 'Winterfell', Sam met Daenerys for the first time, and then was reunited with Jon - and in these scenes, he becomes the person to set Jon up as the hero, and Daenerys as the villain. Meeting her first, he learns that she burned his father and brother alive for refusing to bend the knee to her immediately. Suddenly, the people she sacrifices for power are not just minor characters, but are deeply tied to a character who is universally liked and respected by the viewers.
When reunited with Jon in the crypts, Sam tells Jon what Daenerys did, and reveals not only that he is the true heir to the Iron Throne, but that he would be a much better King. Passionately, he talks about Jon's devotion, his willingness to sacrifice himself, and the ways that Jon has shown that he will put duty to the higher good of Westeros over his own position. Sam asks directly if Daenerys, put in the same situation, would put her people over her position - and there's a good chance that she wouldn't. Her obsession with the Iron Throne has always taken precedence, and it may do the same now that the Throne is within her grasp.

Alaska Airlines says it sent a Boeing 737 jet on the first commercial airline flight that was partially fueled by branches, stumps and other leftovers from forests in the Pacific Northwest.
The jet took off this morning from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and headed for Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., with its tanks full of a new type of biofuel blend.
Twenty percent of the jet fuel came from wood waste that was collected during timber harvests or thinning operations on land owned by Weyerhaeuser in Oregon, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe in Washington and the Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes in Montana, plus rejected wood fibers from Cosmo Specialty Fibers in Cosmopolis, Wash.
In a typical timber harvest, some of the leftover limbs, branches and stumps are left behind to replenish the land and provide cover. The rest is typically pushed into a pile and burned.
Those practices provided an opportunity for the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance, a public-private consortium led by Washington State University. Researchers took advantage of a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to demonstrate a technology that converts the excess waste wood into isobutanol.
Like ethanol, isobutanol can be blended with other ingredients to produce engine fuel. Isobutanol is typically more expensive to produce than ethanol, but it makes for a higher-performance fuel that's well suited for aircraft engines.
In June, Alaska Airlines started fueling a couple of its commercial jets with a 20 percent isobutanol blend that was produced from non-edible field corn.
NARA's forest-based blend brings some additional advantages: The isobutanol is produced from an abundant feedstock that doesn't compete with food production. Forest managers can reduce their reliance on slash pile burning, which in turn reduces air pollution. And if the conversion process takes hold, it's likely to give an employment boost to areas that have lost jobs in the timber industry.
There's an environmental boost as well: Seattle-based Alaska Airlines estimates that using jet fuel produced from sustainable sources can reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from commercial jets by 70 percent. Depending on the feedstock and the production process, the emission reduction over the entire fuel production life cycle should amount to somewhere between 50 and 80 percent.
Alaska Airlines isn't the only aerospace company giving a boost to biofuels. For more than five years, the Boeing Co. has been working with an assortment of partners to pioneer sustainable aviation biofuel. Alaska Airlines, Boeing and the Port of Seattle are working toward a long-term goal of powering all flights by all airlines out of Sea-Tac with biofuel.

Certain items in restaurant kitchens can be more troublesome than others. One such item is the vent hood. These tend to be problematic because of potential fire hazards that can happen due to a build-up of grease if they are not regularly and thoroughly cleaned. It's...
What causes cracks in concrete structures and why are they important?
The inherent properties of concrete make it one of the most durable materials to use in construction. Its lack of flexibility, however, makes it prone to cracking – a consequence of dramatic volume changes when it shrinks or expands in certain conditions.
At first glance, we assume that cracks are the outcome of an error in the pouring procedure, but that's not necessarily the case. The American Concrete Institute addresses this issue in their manual, ACI 302, 1-40:
"Even with the best floor designs and proper construction, it is unrealistic to expect crack-free and curl-free floors. Consequently, every owner should be advised by both the designer and contractor that it is normal to expect some amount of cracking and curling on every project, and that such occurrences do not necessarily reflect adversely on either the adequacy of the floor's design or the quality of its construction."
Concrete cracks are the result of excess stress being loaded onto the slab. Depending on the type of crack, it might require filing with an adequate material or other repair methods, or no action at all. It all depends on the primary cause of cracking, and whether it's affecting the integrity and durability of the structure or not.
Why cracks appear
There are many different reasons why they appear on concrete slabs. These are a few:
Plastic shrinkage: these cracks form as a natural part of the curing process after a new pour. It occurs when concrete is in its plastic form (before hardening), due to the water in the mixture eventually evaporating. They're usually 1-2mm in width and do not pose a threat to the structure's stability. An excessively moist concrete mixture contributes to this shrinkage.
Thermal stresses: other cracks may be caused by extremely hot or cold environments that cause concrete to expand or contract. When it expands, it pushes against other static structures and causes cracking. Humidity and moisture play an important part in these volume changes as well.
Inadequate subgrade support: Concrete heaving or settling may also cause cracking. The main causes for heaving are when large tree roots or ground-freezes lift the concrete slabs out of place. Concrete settling cracks occur when a void is created in the soil underneath the slab, for example, when a tree is removed or pipelines are set into place.
Corrosion of steel reinforcements: oxygen and moisture are the main causes of corrosion to metals. This combination produces iron oxides and hydroxides that increase the metal's volume, which builds pressure within the slab and eventually leads to cracking.
Overloading concrete by exceeding its weight capacity: this strong material has its limits, too. Concrete mixes are specially formulated to withstand a certain amount of pressure from external loads (2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000+ PSI). Placing excessive amounts of weight on top of a concrete slab can cause cracking. It is likely to overload the ground below the slab too; especially after freezing or heavy rain when the ground below is soft and damp.
Concrete crack filling and sealing is necessary maintenance for the care and preservation of concrete slabs because it prevents water or moisture from getting in between the cracks causing rapid degradation. Small cracks are typically repaired with a concrete caulk or liquid filler. Wider cracks are usually patched and sealed with a concrete patching compound. They may also need to be enlarged with a grinder to create a v-shaped groove and then filled with foam and sealed with a polyurethane sealant. ProTech professionals exercise proper crack filling and sealing techniques in Houston, Texas in order to maintain the integrity of the slab.

Why cloud computing is still a hard sell, but doesn't have to be (Re-Blogged)
27-Sep-14 10:43 pm EDT Leave a comment
ery candid exchange between two enterprise-tech pundits on the current state of affairs in the cloud space. Can the cloud save you money? As is so often the case, success is typically found in the execution as much as being duly responsive to customers. Commentators from Ericsson and Apcera offer perspectives on their own experience which might well be mirrored elsewhere…
The definitions of cloud computing have shifted a lot in the past several years, but a few things never change. Whether it's located in an Amazon data center or a company's own, whether it's virtual servers or an entire platform for deploying applications, the cloud is supposed to serve many users, it's supposed to improve flexibility and it's supposed to save money. It all sounds great, but these guiding lights don't always jibe with existing attitudes toward security and compliances and the systems put in place to enforce them.
On this week's Structure Show podcast, we interviewed Derek Collision (above, left) — founder of a company called Apcera that's all about making it easy to enforce policies while gaining the benefits of cloud computing — and Jason Hoffman (above, right) — the head of cloud computing at Ericsson (and former founder and CTO of Joyent), which just invested millions of…

Sol 752a Published to MSLoGE
Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons) within Gale Crater, Mars. Image taken: September 17, 2014 (Sol 752)
ols 751 through 753 this week promise some exciting new imagery from Curiosity. Already published to the Google Earth archive is the latest telemetry from Sol 752 (taken yesterday) which will be used to create a further upload (I'm separating the presentations into two files for this event; one called 752a, the other, 752b). These will illustrate further a detailed look at the geography of the region now being called simply 'the Amargosa Valley'.
According to Curiosity Rover scientist Lauren Edgar:
"A short ~30 m drive on Sol 753 should put Curiosity in a good position at the Pahrump Hills. Sol 754 will consist of 2 hours of untargeted remote sensing, including ChemCam calibration activities to prepare for the Pahrump investigation, and a Navcam movie to monitor the atmosphere."
Edgar promises further science mission plans for the Pahrump Hills region and beyond will be known very soon.

AR CamFeeder 1.0.1 (beta) Released to UI Testing
amFeeder, reflecting my latest work, has been deployed to the AppRefactory website. It's not in an ideal state just yet, but does offer the main UI to serve as the platform for future refinements of a tool that effectively replaces a much older utility that once existed for Yahoo's application platform (which I forget the name of). It features a simple XML file that contains data about web query strings and URLs needed to display and, eventually, capture imagery from traffic cameras anywhere in the world! Because I live in the city of Ottawa (Canada), I've added a selection of cameras from this city's own traffic monitoring service – but any camera with a web-based feed should be compatible.
AR CamFeeder screenshot (taken September 16, 2014); illustrating the auto-tiling camera feed feature.
Indeed, it would be particularly helpful to receive feedback from persons editing the XML file (called camopts.xml) in the application's folder in other cities. Currently AR CamFeeder is available only for Windows; but I expect to have a different version readied for Android smartphones in early 2015.
This was also an opportunity for a trial run using InstallShield as a package and deployment technology in concert with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013. The Limited Edition package isn't bad at all; offering a time-unlimited means to archive an entire windows application within a setup.exe and tailor all of the settings one used to need the Windows SDK and Orca to tweak properly (at least some of the time). It is this setup.exe made available for download from The AppRefactory Inc. website you'll be using to do the installation if you'd like to review the package or play around with adding your own cameras.
If you'd like to add your name to a usability testers list, get in touch with me via info@apprefactory.ca and I'll add your name to the group list; with thanks for your assistance in advance.
To the rest: enjoy AR CamFeeder during this trial phase at no cost. (Fear not: more features will be in the full release which, it is still hoped, will be a free download.)

Ezra's Error
Ezra Levant in a typical pose.
bsent context, the Canadian political right has cultivated a new stereotype for itself in the last two decades. Led astray in the wake of the Great Conservative Cataclysm (the deed of former Conservative Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney via Schreibergate), provocateur pundits like Ezra Levant have a new favourite tactic: to use character assassination and innuendo to shape political fortunes when the strength of goals and ideas can't be found.
And in today's Sun News' "Straight Talk" column, a renewed drumbeat of criticism and dogma handed those of us who have a vein somewhere on our foreheads that thirsted to be-a-throbbin'. Brought to us by way of Twitter: @SunNewsNetwork writes "Trudeau opposes revoking the citizenship of Canadians suspected of being involved in terrorism," inviting readers to Ezra's article and another poll that the neocons can use to erode liberties a little further, no doubt.
Funny how the right never seems particularly interested in getting at the truths comprising an issue and instead revert to wordplay masquerading as an unbiased poll (we're supposed to ignore the leading nature of the question — after all, you don't want to support terrorism do you?) which then somehow gets quoted in Question Period, in campaign literature or one of those helpful automated phone calls made during dinner. The article itself turns out to be a tissue of quotes taken completely out of context; and you know there's some constituency out there inhaling this stuff like a crack addict. But how bad can it possibly be? Surely there aren't that many of 'em out there… Oh yah, this is the group running the government right now.
Yes, there actually are enough people swallowing this stuff hook, line and sinker or people like Ezra wouldn't have a job, and Harper wouldn't be Prime Minister. But Trudeau didn't say Communist China was his favourite foreign country — it was just China, and he spent a bit of time there earlier in his life. Yes, you can favour decriminalization of drugs without advocating everyone should get high more often! And taking quotes completely out of context and asking "Pardon?" as if it was Trudeau that didn't make any sense instead of Ezra himself: this is just not supporting a political view centered on facts, reality or truth.
I don't know how I will get through the next year if I have to watch the country come unravelled because Conservative politicians using vague ad hominem references, McCarthyist innuendo about views pursuing innocent political debate, or — I swear to God — one more tissue of lies published by Ezra Levant simply because he's anxious to engage in another inflammatory, disingenuous diatribe on Liberal campaign issues (which aren't published just yet).
Ezra, if the truth really will hurt the Liberals so much when they go public with their campaign, why are you slithering about the nether regions of what passes for Canada's political theatre conjuring up demons? Why not cling to whatever integrity as a journalist you have left and simply await this field day of yours, smiling patiently? Reducing the political discourse to the degree you do really is bad for the country!

Curiosity Team Grilled on NASA's Mars Vision
12-Sep-14 11:52 am EDT Leave a comment
esterday, we again saw numerous spending questions about the value behind #Curiosity and other endeavours by #NASA concerning space exploration. These were prevalent amongst the media's questions during a Curiosity Update event sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (#JPL).
Dr. Robert Zubrin speaking at NASA in 2008.
Earlier this month, similar frustration could be heard reverberating from the Mars Society's Dr. Robert Zubrin, who (ensconced atop his pulpit at NASA's Ames Research Centre) aggressively critiqued the high-profile US department for vacillating on its exploration objectives throughout the solar system. Zubrin and others see an inefficient, navel-gazing, visionless bureaucracy requiring a refocusing of goals and research to end years of wasted money and energy spent on justifying bad programs. Instead, what seems to be happening is the very same political institutions responsible for funding US space exploration are simply cutting an inefficient image-conscious government department without addressing the real problem behind invested dollars being well-spent.
In the meantime, corporate America (and commercial interests elsewhere) have begun to step into the sacred ground once reserved for NASA. Cancellation of the Constellation project happened in tandem with the government refocusing its spending on backing commercial exploration, no doubt because of NASA's inability to get the job done soon enough to put America first in a second emerging space race. But NASA still has missions all over the solar system to manage and maintain — and its not clear where the money will come from if the larger issues affecting it aren't addressed.
In the end, maybe a few heads have to roll. And there will be consequences; but the only alternative is continuing to stand idly by and watch an organization that once led humanity to the surface of the moon fade from relevance entirely.

Need For Speed: Leaves Need for Time in Wake
Need For Speed advertisement released in March 2014
got through the first half hour of #NeedForSpeed….and then had to turn it off once the inevitable accident happened; the one killing younger, inexperienced buddy pits the villain versus the hero in the storyline. The event in question (which was big enough to rival a small asteroid hitting the surface of the Earth and bouncing back up into space) somehow left neither forensic nor any other kind of evidence and, of course, no witnesses despite there being a string of legendary secondary car accidents in the wake of the centre-stage farce.
I have a theory — call it amateur speculation if you'd like — about why this summer's #movie season was the worst on record. It had nothing to do with anything else going on in the world or in the #Hollywood universe. Nor was it World Cup Soccer causing some kind of movie-fan-wallet-eating distraction. It was simply that the big movie studios turned out total garbage this year…garbage like Need for Speed. Spare yourself the bandwidth (to say nothing of actually visiting any of the B-list theatres still playing it); the only thing you'll gain watching this is a desire for that time (and/or any money) back.
