Pat McCarran: The Godfather of Nevada
If you fly to Las Vegas for a long weekend of drinking, partying, and gambling, you will arrive at its airport, McCarran International. Not many people focus on the name as they are interested in having a good time, but its named after a controversial figure in the state's history who helped make the state become what it is and who was for a short period of time the Senate's most powerful and influential member.
A prominent lawyer in Nevada, Pat McCarran (1876-1954) often had a soft spot for sinners in his early career, representing bank robbers and abortionists. As a politician, however, he was never one to go along with the tides and crafted his own path. From 1913 until his defeat for reelection in 1918, McCarran was an associate justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, subsequently serving as President of the Nevada Bar Association and briefly as Vice President of the American Bar Association. Throughout the 1920s the state Democratic Party leadership, a group he managed to anger for his uncompromising maverick tendencies, managed to block him from gaining any positions of power and he was stuck in limbo. In 1926, McCarran attempted to gain the Democratic nomination for the Senate, but to no avail. However, the onset of the Great Depression brought about change in his fortunes.
The Rise of McCarran and His Policies
In 1932, popular incumbent Republican Senator Tasker Oddie was running for reelection, and the Democrats thought so little of their chances that none of their preferred people wanted to run. They permitted McCarran to be nominated, believing fully that he would lose. The 1932 election was better for Democrats than they thought, and he won in an upset. All those years in the political wilderness taught McCarran to be ruthless in his accumulation of power. He backed some of FDR's New Deal legislation, particularly legislation that helped unions, but he also sometimes opposed. This, of course, didn't endear Roosevelt to him. Although McCarran's health was often precarious in the 1930s due to his obesity, he was still able to have legislative accomplishments, including the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, which regulated and fostered the development of the airline industry. He also advocated the separation of the Air Force from the Army and sponsored the Federal Airport Act of 1945, which provided grants to states and localities for airport construction. His legacy in this area of policy is one of the reasons that Las Vegas's airport is named after McCarran.
By Serving in "Death Battalion", McCarran Becomes Politically Invincible
In 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt, fresh from one of the most epic Electoral College victories in American history, had a lot of political capital and intended to spend it. At the start of the year, he proposed what was called the "court packing plan". This plan would increase the number of justices from 9 to 15, which was in response to numerous decisions ruling New Deal legislation unconstitutional. Initially McCarran supported Roosevelt's plan, but after talking with people in his state and reading his mail, he found his constituents were overwhelmingly against it. He turned against the plan as well.
On July 10, 1937, McCarran delivered a speech called the "Death Battalion" speech. Although this wasn't his best or best delivered speech it was his most memorable and significant. McCarran's health was still frail and he looked and sounded ill. Yet, he had gone to the Senate floor to speak against it, contrary to doctor's orders. The most notable line in the speech was, "I think this cause in which we have enlisted, and in which I say without hesitancy we constitute a battalion of death, to the end that the Constitution of the Untied States shall prevail, is worthy of the effort" (Edwards, 78).
This speech resulted in laudatory headlines and press, including a headline from the Nevada State Journal: "McCarran in Death Battalion – Senator Ready to Give Life to Defend Constitution" and made him quite popular with not only Democrats, but Republicans as well (Edwards, 79). Although FDR tried to get him ousted in the primary, the effort didn't go terribly far. This also wrecked former Senator Tasker Oddie's chances at making a comeback. McCarran was now electorally unbeatable in Nevada and had only one major source of competition left for power in the state: Key Pittman.
Key Pittman and Pat McCarran didn't get along well and actively competed for patronage, with McCarran often besting Pittman. Pittman was an establishment Democrat who had been in office since 1913 and carried some significance as chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, but McCarran had a hunger for power that wasn't to be satiated. Fortunately for McCarran, developments would soon allow him to gain much more.
McCarran Rules Nevada
On November 5, 1940, Key Pittman had won reelection, but what the voters weren't aware of was that doctors had told his aides that his death was imminent. Just before the election, Pittman, who had issues with alcohol, had been on a drinking binge that caused a massive heart attack. Although he survived the heart attack itself, his heart was so badly damaged as a result that he was beyond recovery. Pittman died five days after he was reelected. With no more competition for patronage, McCarran consolidated power and became THE power of the state. He always remembered friends and foes alike, being sure to help his friends and, in equal measure, punish his foes.
In 1945, McCarran sponsored with Senator Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.) a bill exempting insurance from anti-trust laws while requiring states to regulate insurance. This law was recently amended so as to remove health insurance from the exemption list. In 1947, McCarran himself suffered a massive heart attack and his condition appeared so dire that oddsmakers in Vegas were betting 8 to 1 on his demise. Unfortunately for the gamblers as well as all those who abandoned McCarran at his time of peril, he recovered and managed to ruin the political careers of all the minions who left him in the seven more years he lived.
After Harry S. Truman winning a term in 1948, McCarran became the most powerful senator. He sponsored two major pieces of legislation that became law over Truman's veto: The McCarran Internal Security Act and the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act. The former was a comprehensive anti-communist bill that included the communist registration provisions from the proposed Mundt-Nixon Bill and the latter was a bill that strengthened the national origins quota system, blocked people from immigrating based on communist ideology, and abolished race as a criterion for denial of citizenship.
While many people associate Joseph McCarthy with the anti-communism of the early 1950s, they don't know that Pat McCarran was also launching investigations into communists in the government, and he was more careful and effective than McCarthy. McCarran counted himself as a supporter of McCarthy and had he been able to vote on his censure, he not only would have voted against, but he likely would have convinced some Democrats to join him as well.
McCarran and Foreign Policy
In the foreign policy debates in the two years preceding America's involvement in World War II, McCarran was a consistent non-interventionist, voting against Lend Lease and repealing neutrality laws. He feared a bloodbath for American soldiers if they were to get involved in World War II. Although there may have been another, under the surface reasoning for his stance here, this will be covered a little later. McCarran remained a thorn in Democratic foreign policy under President Truman, as although he backed both the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, he insisted on his "Watchdog Committee", which actively monitored Marshall Plan spending and more importantly, he stood against Truman on how to address a certain foreign leader: Francisco Franco. Franco could count McCarran among his personal friends and he fought for him receiving Marshall Plan aid to counteract communist influence. Truman personally despised Franco for his dictatorial rule of Spain as well as his pseudo-neutrality during World War II (he unofficially favored the Axis). But, McCarran ultimately got his way and Truman's successor, Dwight Eisenhower, recognized Franco as an ally in the struggle against international communism.
McCarran and Prejudice
Although McCarran didn't ever directly speak out against Jews, he was privately an anti-Semite, and such views influenced his perspective on immigration as well as federal nominations. On immigration, he was one of the leading opponents of legislation that would result in the United States taking in a significant number of Jewish refugees from Europe after World War II. He would invoke fears of influence from New York City in his campaigns but privately admitted that the purpose of such campaigning was to get people to worry about Jews without ever using the word. For federal nominations, when FDR nominated Jews, McCarran did his best to block them. No other connection appeared to exist between them aside from their Judaism. On civil rights for blacks, McCarran's record was more mixed: he opposed legislation forming a permanent Fair Employment Practices Committee but voted against efforts to cripple Truman's desegregation order for the U.S. Army.
The Casino Boycott – McCarran Throws His Weight Around Against Hank Greenspun
Hank Greenspun of the Las Vegas Sun was one of the few journalists, and the most prominent one in the state, to be anti-McCarran. In 1952, McCarran had finally had it with him after his favored candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination, Alan Bible, lost the Democratic primary. Soon the Las Vegas Sun was receiving calls from all but one of the major casino owners that they would no longer advertise in the paper. Greenspun investigated and found that they had all received calls from McCarran, who had been successful in keeping Washington off their backs. As casino owner and mobster Moe Dalitz put it to Greenspun, "You know as well as I that we have to do what he tells us. You know he got us our licenses. If we don't go along, you know what will happen to us" (Newton, 152). He in turn sued McCarran and forty casino executives for conspiracy to ruin his newspaper and sought $1 million in damages. The case ended with Greenspun accepting a settlement of $80,500 in cash and an agreement that no more efforts would be made to influence editorial policy.
McCarran's Pique = Loss of Power
Many at-risk Senate Republicans were up for reelection in 1952. One of them was McCarran's colleague, George Malone. Although he sometimes gets quoted on the internet by people who profess to oppose globalism, his time in the Senate was most marked by his staunch cultural conservatism, his unwavering support of Senator Joseph McCarthy, and his remarkable ability to bore other senators to tears. Although McCarran was not particularly impressed with Malone, he was also not hostile to him, which couldn't be said for the Democrat running against him. McCarran had groomed a successor in Alan Bible, but the Democratic voters were not having him. A staunchly anti-McCarran liberal Democrat, Thomas Mechling, managed to win the primary.
McCarran was so incensed by this repudiation that he surreptitiously aided the Malone campaign by lending his own staff to help him. The result was Malone's victory while other vulnerable Republican senators who had been elected in 1946 such as James Kem of Missouri, Zales Ecton of Montana, and Harry Cain of Washington lost reelection. Republicans won control of the chamber in the 1952 election by…you guessed it…one vote! Although McCarran had eliminated a threat to his power in Mechling, he was now in the minority party. In 1954, he gave a speech that urged Democratic Party unity in the elections, but this was apparently too much for the fiercely independent 78-year old, who dropped dead of a heart attack right after finishing the speech. McCarran would ultimately get his way regarding his protégé: Alan Bible would serve in the Senate from 1954 to 1974. His lifetime MC-Index score was a 54%, with his most conservative period being after the 80th Congress.
It is true that Pat McCarran was instrumental in the development of modern-day Nevada as well as the airline industry and was without doubt the state's most significant legislator of the 20th century. But, it is also true that he isn't representative of the values of modern-day Nevadans. Thus, the call for removing his name from Las Vegas's airport. However, advocates for the removal of McCarran's name on account of the controversial aspects of his legacy have something greater to overcome: the removal of his statue from the U.S. Capitol Hall of Statues, that have two figures from each state. McCarran's is there along with that of Sarah Winnemucca, a Paiute author, activist, and educator.
Edit, 1/3/22: McCarran's MC-Index score has been added and Key Pittman had served in the Senate since 1913, not 1917 as mistakenly written.

Q: Class is serialized to XML without a class name I try to serialize a class, defined as following:
        [DataContract]
    public class Human
    {

        public Human() { }

        public Human(int id, string Name, bool isEducated)
        {
            this.id = id;
            this.Name = Name;
            this.isEducated = isEducated;
        }

        [DataMember]
        public int id { get; set; }

        [DataMember]
        public string Name { get; set; }

        [DataMember]
        public bool isEducated { get; set; }
    }

Then it's being serialized:
            Human h = new Human(id, Name, isEducated);
        XmlRootAttribute root = new XmlRootAttribute();
        root.ElementName = "Repository";
        XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Human), root);

        FileStream fs = new FileStream(fname, FileMode.Open);
        xs.Serialize(fs, h);

And this is the outcome:
 <Repository xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <id>1</id>
  <Name>Vill</Name>
  <isEducated>false</isEducated>
</Repository>

Not something I'd expect. Class name is just omited. What is the problem here?

A: You are explicitly naming the root element "Repository", which is why it is showing up that way.  Try omitting that statement :)
I think what you want is to have Human after this Repository element.  To do that, you will need to make another root element below the Repository one and then serialize your object into that.  You should note that the XmlSerializer is typically used to write objects to xml files, not really create entire xml files.  I have an example of something that might work for you below:
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(FilePath, null);
writer.WriteStartDocument();
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.WriteStartElement("Repository");

Human h = new Human(id, Name, isEducated);
XmlRootAttribute root = new XmlRootAttribute();
root.ElementName = "Human";
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Human), root);
xs.Serialize(writer, h);

writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();

Something like that...I'm really sleepy :/

Building on the Social Innovations Journal, Institute, and Lab's 10-year track record of identifying and documenting the most promising approaches to social issues, we are building an online community and platform that introduces the best social-impact ventures to investors. The Impact First Market combines the science and art of indexing to give social investors across sectors a clearer view into blended social and financial regional markets. The IF Market takes a regional listing approach and scores social ventures based upon transparent social impact and financial performance. The IF Market is the first impact-first investment platform building a supply of high-impact social ventures to meet the increasing demand of impact investors.
There is not a central place or rating system that identifies and serves as a regional repository of government, not-for-profit, and private social ventures and innovations driven by entrepreneurs and not-for-profit/for-profit institutions that are making the most impact on people's lives, neighborhoods, and issue areas (social mobility, healthcare, education, human services). As there isn't a "Crunchbase" (searchable platform to identify high-impact ventures and social sector "unicorns") for impact investors/philanthropies to search for high-impact opportunities and for policy-makers to identify what is working and direct public dollars accordingly (legislatively and/or as co-investors), the IF Market is incubating and developing this market.
5% of the assets in U.S. Charitable Foundations equal the entire U.S. Venture Capital industry, but severely lack financial mechanisms to scale new and better approaches to solving social problems.
To help guide social investors, each Social Venture is assigned points based upon the below criteria. Social Ventures with the highest points are listed at the top of the rankings in the marketplace page. To further assist investors, Social Ventures can be sorted by rank, impact area, region, and investment type.

The first photo below features a Fisher. This animal is a smaller cousin of the Wolverine and just as fierce. They are also related to Pine Martens and Minks, which all are part of the weasel family. They are a nocturnal animal and it is extremely rare to see them during the day let alone get a picture of one. Fishers generally hunt at night and their main target is squirrels up in the trees but they will eat anything and will come down to the ground to hunt rabbits and other critters. They have a very distinct call, which sounds like a baby crying.

CATCHING AN ARCTIC CHILL
ARCTIC CHILL
Arnaldur Indridason
Harvill Secker £11.99 ISBN 9781846558652
A young Thai boy, knifed to death behind a grim block of flats in the middle of
Reykjavik's Icelandic winter. The scene is chilling, in both senses of the word, but it is also incongruous, like a tall palm in the middle of Iceland's volcanic rock. The story, as you might expect, is concerned to some extent with how those who are visibly different fit into a society as genetically homogenous as Iceland's, in that, it could be viewed as a sequel of sorts to Jar City (retitled Tainted Blood), in which the limitations of Iceland's genetic pool were a major part of the plot.
Like that novel, this one is also more concerned with family, and other relationships. Elias, the dead boy, is the child of a Thai bride brought back to Iceland by his Icelandic father, and his elder half-brother, her fully Thai son is missing. Although the investigation starts with racial conflict, it soon expands into child abuse, as a suspected paedophile is somewhere in the area, though his identity is known only to one of his victims.
Meanwhile, Erlendur's mentor,Marion Briem, is dying, and his long-estranged son is curious about the incident from Erlendur's childhood where he and his brother were lost in the snow. As usual, there is a large element of meditation within this novel, and it is concerned with the parent-child relationship. In a society where everyone is alone against the cold, metaphors easily become reality; Briem dies alone but for Erlendur, and the men, though intimately bound together, were close in no real sense. Indridason uses the police procedural to allow himself the pace to investigate such issues, while still following the crime. That Sigurdur Oli was a rebellious student at Elias's school reminds Erlandur, and us, that there is much we don't know about characters we think we know well. And that is true of the people in this story; their distance is the real arctic chill of the title.
Oddly, I read this book and Johan Theorin's ECHOES FROM THE DEAD in succession; Theorin's is set on the Swedish Baltic island of Oland, from which my grandmother emigrated to America. Its climate is not as harsh as Iceland's, nor are its winters as dark, but there is the same sense of isolation, and the alvar of Oland, on which a boy is lost at the story's beginning,is strangely like the Icleandic landscape in which Erlender and his brother were lost. Both books are concerned with the ways in which we deal with survival and loneliness,and the way those two seem related. That Indridasson manages to weave his musings into a story which resolves in a normal, that is to say, non-melodramatic way, is a measure of his talent as a crime writer.

Servers look up, but I can't connect to reboot anymore. Was getting a "Character already logged in error", now getting "The Server is too busy to fulfill your request right now."
Same thing here. As soon as I tried to change channels, I was kicked and haven't been able to get back on.
It'll work when it works.
Since Star Planet is gone now, the Star Planet status checker should be removed.
What would happened to ch3 and 4?
But they're not at the same IP addresses they used to be, so the status checker doesn't know they're up.
What is happenning now? I can barely log in in to the game .
MYBCKN is having a really rough time right now.
Well I've experienced a mini-roll back, so be aware if you just disconnect be sure to double check your experience or inventory for something reduced or missing.
@Eos; these results don't seem correct.
Eos; these results don't seem correct.
It's been this way since the last maintenance. Some of them have been red for two weeks (since the first maintenance that was supposed to help with the lag).
The reason is that Nexon has been adding machines to try and cope with the lag, but our status checker doesn't know about them so doesn't find them and thinks nobody is handling those channels.
these results don't seem correct.
Nexon reconfigured the servers one time too many for the number of pineapples I have left to give.
Maybe when I'm not 800 miles from home I will consider trying to update them yet again.
Major server crash.. On that note everything nexon is lagging hard, especially the launcher.
Good god yes. Relogged to find all worlds offline. Good job, Nexon! I returned to the game recently in Reboot, but damn the servers are pomegranate as ever.
Possibly duping? There was a person in MYBCKN who duped Arcane Symbols to get level 15 already.
EDIT: All game servers went down. Except for EMS, apparently. Probably not duping, then.
It's the first time, in all my years pplaying MS that I see all channels in all servers crash together, at least that I remember.
Maybe something happened in LA?
Aren't they untradeable? For some reason I thought only tradeable items could be duped.

Q: Edit a .txt file with javascript I want a user on my website to type in a string. I want this string to be stored in a txt file. When another user types in a string I want this string to be stored in a seperate line in the txt file, so I can read all the data, which was typed in later.
I searched the web for a good solution, because I don't know how to edit a txt file with JavaScript. Unfortionately everything I found is written in jQuery, which I did not learn yet. Does somebody know a simple solution to this problem?

A: Short answer: you can't on the client, you can on the server.
Bigger question is why? If you want to store user input so they have it later you can use LocalStorage, IndexedDB or even just a cookie to store it.
If you want to save it on the server text files are usually a bad idea - there are a lot of server side storage options that are better than plain text, but you'll need to provide a lot more information for us to help on that.

Welcome to my new website and my first blog post. I'm passionate about treating and aiding athletes, from elite standards to recreational athletes who are engaging in physical activity at any level.
The London Marathon saw over 30,000 people taking part in what has become the world's largest charity fundraising event, with over £700 million raised for charity since it was first run in 1981.
Before embarking on any serious fitness regime, it can be wise to visit your doctor to check you are in the best possible shape, particularly if you're a ex-smoker or still smoking. A family history of heart disease or being overweight will also be taken into consideration by your GP.
Even if you've got a pair of trainers at the back of your cupboard, it's wise to invest in a new pair of trainers and proper running socks. Go to a specialist running shop as they will be able to advise you properly and some will even analyse your running gait to ensure you are wearing the best shoes.
Initially, you should halt exercising so you do not exacerbate the injury. However, it's important to see a sport and exercise medicine specialist or other properly qualified health professional as soon as possible for advice on how to overcome the injury safely. You should never give up as most injuries or illnesses are not a bar to exercising as long as they are managed carefully.

This month via Big Finish we were treated to the return of the dynamic duo of Rhys Williams and Gwen Cooper in a new story set after Miracle Day!
"It has been four years since the Miracle, and Gwen and Rhys's lives have gone back to normal, very normal. They're raising their daughter (they've got pictures they'd be only too happy to show you), they're living in a nice house, and they're almost on top of the laundry.
Captain Jack Harkness has been missing from the world and their lives for a long time. But late one night the phone rings, and they're summoned to an isolated part of North Wales. The Bryn Offa Nursing Home contains a dark secret, an alien threat, and someone who really shouldn't be there.
This month's installment of Torchwood takes us into uncharted territory by showing us what Gwen and Rhys have been up to since the last televised Torchwood story and it's very nice to see that they are still out there ready to drop everything… AGAIN to save the world.
As you'd expect, you come for Torchwood and you stay for Gwen and Rhys. This was a good story, I found it really entertaining but… it ties into miracle day more than I expected it would. I know that some folks didn't particularly love Miracle Day (and would just as soon stop with the 3 purely British Torchwood series) but Miracle Day is not my whole problem with this story. Miracle Day was a fairly intricate conspiracy style story and this current story is a conspiracy story and they sort of tried to tie this conspiracy into THAT conspiracy. Did that sentence confuse you? Because THAT is exactly the problem with this story. It's a perfectly good story without the tie ins, but they made the tie ins, and once you do that you can't pretend it didn't happen. It's like calling the Doctor half Human in the Doctor Who movie from the 90's… you shouldn't go there unless you have a really good reason. I'm hoping that they do have a really good reason and that it will come together in a cool payoff but for it's part in this story it was kind of a strange and clunky addition.
Despite the double conspiracy set up it does have a main story that is mostly understandable and the plot is still fast paced and captivating much like the first two episodes of this series have been so I am still totally on board with this series (but they can't ALL be 5 stars).
I loved hearing Gwen and Rhys again, the casting and the characters were all brilliantly acted, the sound and production were as good as ever, I just wish their story didn't get so convoluted when the first two installments were as brilliantly simple as they were. I'd likely listen to this again but it's not quite up there with the first two stories and it has too many back-references to be totally standalone so I'm going to give this one a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Matthias U Shwe (December 1, 1943 – August 12, 2021) was a Burmese Roman Catholic prelate who served in the present-day Archdiocese of Taunggyi for 36. He served as the auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Taunggyi from 1979 to 1989 and the Bishop of Taunggyi from 1989 to 1998. When the Diocese of Taunggyi was elected to the status of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Taunggyi on January 17, 1998, Matthias U Shwe became the Archbishop of Taunggyi. He continued to serve as Archbishop from 1998 until his retirement on April 12, 2015. He also served as the rector of St. Joseph's Catholic Major Seminary in Yangon and chairman of the Myanmar Episcopal Commission for the Laity.

Notably, Matthias U Shwe was one of three Burmese Catholic bishops to invite the Jesuits back to Myanmar. The Jesuits, known as the Society of Jesus, were originally expelled from Burma by the military regime of Ne Win in 1962. Bishop U Shwe also founded the Sisters of Zetaman, a Burmese religious order of Catholic nuns, and co-founded the Little Way Missionary Priests of St. Therese. In addition to their base in Myanmar, the Little Way Missionary Priests are active in missionary work in Papua New Guinea and parts of Africa, as of 2021.

In 1987, Matthias U Shwe created the Little Evangelizers program, which encouraged young laypeople in the Diocese of Taunggyi to become missionaries and teachers. Volunteers in the program were trained in a variety of skills, including basic medical care, midwifery, catechesis, and Catholic theology. They were then sent to remote areas of Myanmar, where they served as medical aides, elementary school teachers, and missionaries.

U Shwe was born on December 10, 1943. He was ordained as Catholic priest in 1969. He was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Taunggyi on December 20, 1979, and elevated to Bishop on December 13, 1980. In January 1998, he became Archbishop of Taunggyi, a position he held until his retirement in 2015.

Archbishop Emeritus Matthias U Shwe died on August 12, 2021, at the age of 78. His funeral mass was held at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Taunggyi by Archbishop Basilio Athai on August 14, 2021.

Biodiversity failure
In 2002 there was a global agreement to slow biodiversity loss by 2010. We failed, and biodiversity is still declining at an alarming rate.
Here is a recent article abstract from Science:
In 2002, world leaders committed through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to achieve a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. We compiled 31 indicators to report on progress toward this target. Most indicators of the state of biodiversity (covering species' population trends, extinction risk, habitat extent/condition, and community composition) showed declines, with no significant recent reductions in rate, whereas indicators of pressures on biodiversity (including resource consumption, invasive alien species, nitrogen pollution, overexploitation, and climate change impacts) showed increases. Despite some local successes and increasing responses (including extent and biodiversity coverage of protected areas, sustainable forest management, policy responses to invasive alien species, and biodiversity-related aid), the rate of biodiversity loss does not appear to be slowing.
And here is parts of the executive summary of the Global Biodiversity Outlook 3
There are multiple indications of continuing decline in biodiversity in all three of its main components — genes, species and ecosystems — including:
Species which have been assessed for extinction risk are on average moving closer to extinction. Amphibians face the greatest risk and coral species are deteriorating most rapidly in status. Nearly a quarter of plant species are estimated to be threatened with extinction.
The abundance of vertebrate species, based on assessed populations, fell by nearly a third on average between 1970 and 2006, and continues to fall globally, with especially severe declines in the tropics and among freshwater species.
Natural habitats in most parts of the world continue to decline in extent and integrity, although there has been significant progress in slowing the rate of loss for tropical forests and mangroves, in some regions. Freshwater wetlands, sea ice habitats, salt marshes, coral reefs, seagrass beds and shellfish reefs are all showing serious declines.
Extensive fragmentation and degradation of forests, rivers and other ecosystems have also led to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Crop and livestock genetic diversity continues to decline in agricultural systems.
The five principal pressures directly driving biodiversity loss (habitat change, overexploitation, pollution, invasive alien species and climate change) are either constant or increasing in intensity.
The ecological footprint of humanity exceeds the biological capacity of the Earth by a wider margin than at the time the 2010 target was agreed.
The loss of biodiversity is an issue of profound concern for its own sake. Biodiversity also underpins the functioning of ecosystems which provide a wide range of services to human societies. Its continued loss, therefore, has major implications for current and future human well-being. The provision of food, fibre, medicines and fresh water, pollination of crops, filtration of pollutants, and protection from natural disasters are among those ecosystem services potentially threatened by declines and changes in biodiversity. Cultural services such as spiritual and religious values, opportunities for knowledge and education, as well as recreational and aesthetic values, are also declining.
And while both the Science article and the Global Biodiversity Outlook report indicate that some progress has been made, and there are examples of local successes. But they are few and far between:
However, action to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity has not been taken on a sufficient scale to address the pressures on biodiversity in most places. There has been insufficient integration of biodiversity issues into broader policies, strategies and programmes, and the underlying drivers of biodiversity loss have not been addressed significantly. Actions to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity receive a tiny fraction of funding compared to activities aimed at promoting infrastructure and industrial developments. Moreover, biodiversity considerations are often ignored when such developments are designed, and opportunities Most future scenarios project continuing high levels of extinctions and loss of habitats throughout this century, with associated decline of some ecosystem services important to human well-being.
The bottom line is that:
There is a high risk of dramatic biodiversity loss and accompanying degradation of a broad range of ecosystem services if ecosystems are pushed beyond certain thresholds or tipping points. The poor would face the earliest and most severe impacts of such changes, but ultimately all societies and communities would suffer.
The fact is that we all depend on ecosystem to survive, yet we take them for granted. That has to change. Every ecosystem service we loos makes us poorer.
The real benefits of biodiversity, and the costs of its loss, need to be reflected within economic systems and markets. Perverse subsidies and the lack of economic value attached to the huge benefits provided by ecosystems have contributed to the loss of biodiversity. Through regulation and other measures, markets can and must be harnessed to create incentives to safeguard and strengthen, rather than to deplete, our natural infrastructure. The re-structuring of economies and financial systems following the global recession provides an opportunity for such changes to be made. Early action will be both more effective and less costly than inaction or delayed action.
Much like properly pricing carbon can allow the market to address the issue of global warming, including the benefits of biodiversity, and the costs of its loss into economic models and policy will allow the market to address this issue. The task of pricing biodiversity isn't trivial, but it is essential.
The question is, do we have the will to do so?

Félix Lobligeois (1874-1941), vice-président du Conseil municipal de Paris, docteur en médecine, radiologue et victime de la science (effet des rayonnements ionisants).

Biographie
Félix Lobligeois naît le 20 février 1874 à Paris 2e de Charles Lobligeois, docteur médecin, et de Marie Alexandrine Colmet-Daage (fille de Gabriel Frédéric Colmet-Daage, doyen de la faculté de droit, officier de la Légion d'Honneur).

Il se marie le 22 octobre 1902 au Bugue (Dordogne) avec Henriette Aléxis-Archambeaud. De cette union naissent à Paris deux enfants : Henri (né en 1903 à Paris 8e et mort en 1978 à Boulogne-Billancourt) et Christiane (née en 1906).

Radiologue, il est chef de service des Hôpitaux de Paris et créateur avec Antoine Béclère de la Société française de radiologie. Ses travaux sur les rayons X l'exposent comme nombre de ses confrères à une époque où l'on n'en maîtrisait pas encore tous les risques. Atteint de radiodermite, on doit d'abord lui amputer des doigts puis en 1926 le bras droit et ce sera enfin le bras gauche en 1941.

En parallèle de sa carrière médicale, son parcours politique l'amène à occuper les mandats de vice-président du Conseil municipal de Paris et de conseiller général du département de la Seine.

Il meurt le 19 octobre 1941 à Paris 17e, il réside alors au 84 boulevard des Batignolles.

Hommages
 Il a reçu la Francisque.
 Il fut élevé au grade de Grand Officier de la Légion d'Honneur en août 1941.

 Une place porte son nom depuis 1945 dans le  de Paris : la place du Docteur-Félix-Lobligeois.

 Une maison de retraite dans sa ville natale du Bugue (Dordogne) a été nommée en son honneur.

 Son nom est gravé sur le , qui commémore les pionniers et martyrs de la radioactivité (physiciens, chimistes, médecins, infirmiers, laborantins etc), victimes parmi les premiers utilisateurs des rayons X dans le monde entier. Le mémorial qui comportait à l'origine  a été érigé dans le jardin de l'ancien  à Hambourg (Allemagne) et a été inauguré le .

by Farley Mowat
A Canadian icon gives us his final book, a memoir of the events that shaped this beloved writer and activist.
Farley Mowat has been beguiling readers for fifty years now, creating a body of writing that has thrilled two generations, selling literally millions of copies in the process. In looking back over his accomplishments, we are reminded of his groundbreaking work: He single-handedly began the rehabilitation of the wolf with Never Cry Wolf. He was the first to bring advocacy activism on behalf of the Inuit and their northern lands with People of the Deer and The Desperate People. And his was the first populist voice raised in defense of the environment and of the creatures with whom we share our world, the ones he has always called The Others.
Otherwise is a memoir of the years between 1937 and the autumn of 1948 that tells the story of the events that forged the writer and activist. His was an innocent childhood, spent free of normal strictures, and largely in the company of an assortment of dogs, owls, squirrels, snakes, rabbits, and other wildlife. From this, he was catapulted into wartime service, as anxious as any other young man of his generation to get to Europe and the fighting. The carnage of the Italian campaign shattered his faith in humanity forever, and he returned home unable and unwilling to fit into post-war Canadian life. Desperate, he accepted a stint on a scientific collecting expedition to the Barrengrounds. There in the bleak but beautiful landscape he finds his purpose — first with the wolves and then with the indomitable but desperately starving Ihalmiut. Out of these experiences come his first pitched battles with an ignorant and uncaring federal bureaucracy as he tries to get aid for the famine-stricken Inuit. And out of these experiences, too, come his first books.
Otherwise goes to the heart of who and what Farley Mowat is, a wondrous final achievement from a true titan.

Beverly Hills, CA Dry skin is an extremely common skin condition that has Americans spending millions of dollars on dry skin care treatments. No one wants to suffer from the uncomfortable itch of dry skin or the unsightly flakes and cracks it can cause. The best way to keep dry skin from occurring is to avoid the common causes that can be easily eliminated from daily routines. Below are some of the common causes of dry skin along with tips on what anyone can do to keep their skin soft and silky.
Cold weather: During the colder winter months the humidity level drops and skin loses moisture more rapidly. The frigid bite of icy cold winds can also irritate skin causing it to become chapped, red and sometimes even painfully raw. Before playing in the snow be sure to apply a shielding lotion to help skin retain more moisture and avoid the burn of chapped winter skin.
Frequent hand washing: Many health care professionals and people in the service industry are required to frequently wash their hands for safety purposes. The constant exposure to water and the harsh chemicals usually contained in antibacterial hand soaps causes dry cracked hands. Starting the day off by using a lotion that is water resistant and re-applying as directed can help avoid the cracked fingertips from hand washing.
Misuse of moisturizers: Many moisturizers only coat skin with a greasy layer of chemicals and actually do very little to heal dry skin. In fact, many of them contain toxic ingredients that can actually damage and irritate skin. The only way to truly heal dry skin is by using a dry skin cream designed to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out like Skin MD Natural. Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion that strengthens the skins own natural barrier to protect against irritation and stop dry skin before it starts.
Hot showers and baths: Nothing is more relaxing than a nice long hot bath or shower after a long day, but there is also nothing that will dry skin faster. Hot water strips skin of its own moisturizing oils causing it to become dry and itchy.
Now that the winter season is in full swing, it is important to use the best moisturizer for dry skin. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion was developed by a team of innovative chemists, with over twenty years of experience developing personal care products for many internationally respected cosmetic companies. It is formulated with a special blend of five natural plant extracts that provide skin with unbeatable moisture while being lightweight and non-greasy. Skin MD Natural is also committed to protecting the environment and is proud to say Skin MD Natural and Skin MD Natural + SPF 15 are manufactured in the United States using 100% solar power, free of animal products and animal testing.

Q: What is the reason to use SSL on websites if it can be decrypted easily? Since SSL can be decrypted easily using a basic man in the middle node, whats the reason to continue using it? Don't most ISPs decrypt on a daily basis using Deep Packet Inspection? And isn't it possible to put a MITM node at any hop along the packet route (not just ISP) to decrypt therefore making SSL completely unsecure.

A:
Since SSL can be decrypted easily using a basic man in the middle node,

Depends a bit on what you mean. The latest version of SSL, SSLv3 has serious vulnerabilities, like POODLE which you may be thinking of. The current version of the protocol is TLS 1.2, but even though the name changed in 1999 it's still often called SSL. We should really stop doing that and use the proper name.
With current versions and proper configuration, an MitM attack isn't that easy.
The certificates are there so that the user (or their software) can identify the remote end. In addition to intercepting the connection, you'd need a valid certificate, trusted by the software. Of course, with the CA infrastructure being what it is, any CA can create one. Until they are removed from the trusted lists, that is. Luckily, there are developments on this, such as certificate pinning etc.

whats the reason to continue using it?

For SSLv3, absolutely no reason. For TLS 1.2, it's the best we have.

Don't most ISPs decrypt on a daily basis using Deep Packet Inspection?

That would likely be illegal in many jurisdictions.

A: Besides the obvious reason why you should use an SSL to protect your website visitors data, it has other benefits. It is said that having an SSL certificate boosts your SEO, in fact Google announced that it will begin to give a ranking boost to SSL-secured websites. SSL also protects against phishing. Phishing e-mails usually contain a link to the criminals website, by impersonating your website. When your using SSL it's practically impossible for them to impersonate your site perfectly. SSL also gives your webshop trust indicators, such as HTTPS and, if you have an EV certificate, a green address bar.
SSL decryption is done to get visibility of encrypted traffic so that you can detect malware, prevent data loss, monitor applications and more. It's not easily done, you can only decrypt SSL traffic if you have the certificate. So only the owner of the site can do it, or someone who steals the certificate and you will need specialized equipment for that, for example Ixia's SecureStack.

Artificial Reef Association Supports the Brunswick County Environment
by Jo Ann MathewsFeb 1, 2018Brunswick County Life, South Brunswick
Sinking a ship in peacetime appears to be counterproductive unless you understand artificial reefs. And in Brunswick County, a group is working hard to sink ships and maintain a healthy environment under our seas.
According to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, an artificial reef can be comprised of items such as decommissioned vessels, railroad cars, concrete reef balls and pipe materials. The benefits to these reefs include attracting a variety of marine life by providing food and refuge for them. North Carolina has 42 ocean reefs and 20 estuarine reefs with 14 oyster sanctuaries. Its artificial reef programs have developed into some of the most active state enhancement programs in the U.S.
"Artificial reefs are good for the environment," says Andy Fisher of Oak Island, president of Long Bay Artificial Reef Association (LBARA). "They build and expand habitat and don't produce pollution."
The bivalves and barnacles they attract filter the water and clean up the environment and that sea life builds the food chain. The reefs around Brunswick County attract black bass, flounder, drum, sheepshead, king mackerel and Spanish mackerel.
The North Carolina Department of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) devised a numbering system to identify the locations of the artificial reefs. They are from the Virginia state line to Hatteras; Hatteras to Cape Lookout; Cape Lookout to Cape Fear, the territory of the Onslow Bay Artificial Reef Association; and Cape Fear to the South Carolina state line, the LBARA territory. LBARA was founded in 1984 with the goal of producing six reefs. It now has nine. Fisher has worked on seven of the nine.
Regulations prohibit artificial reefs on the natural hard bottom, so LBARA chooses a site where it believes a reef is needed, although NCDMF must approve the site and plans.
"There's a list of criteria associated with reef planning and construction," Jordan Byrum, artificial reef biologist with NCDMF, writes in an email. Proximity to Essential Fish Habitat [CQ], geographic location and use of suitable materials are among them. He cites the benefits of artificial reefs as increasing recreational diving, enhancing the socio-economic benefits to the local communities and reducing the user pressure on nearby natural reefs.
LBARA reefs are comprised primarily of concrete pipes weighing tons. The organization is responsible for funding the project either through grants or fundraising. "A large project needs millions of pounds of pipes," Fisher says. He explains that the association buys rejected pipes and is responsible for transporting them to the desired location.
LBARA names its reefs after those who have contributed the most to the artificial reef effort. Thus Dale McDowell, who founded LBARA in 1984, is AR445 while Jim Knight is AR430, the most recent reef. Knight, vice president of LBARA, lives in Southport and can't remember when he became active in the group but remembers working on all the projects.
"Jim does all the work," Fisher says, but Knight declines to accept much credit. "I do what manual labor I can," he says.
A barge named Capt. David Knight in honor of Jim's son, who passed away from cancer in 2015, rests on the northern edge of AR430. This reef is three miles off Oak Island and costs $132,000 so far, which is only half the amount needed to complete it.
Fisher will write a grant and raise money to finish the project, although, he adds, a reef is never truly completed. He says Capt. Brant McMullan, owner and operator of Ocean Isle Fishing Center in Ocean Isle Beach, is a major contributor to LBARA.
"I saw how hard guys like Andy and others were working to maintain and build a program that is good for all of the area's fishermen and felt their program a worthy recipient of funds generated from two large King Mackerel fishing events I host," McMullan writes in an email.
Bob Black, the project coordinator for LBARA, says he has worked on four new reefs, has enhanced several others and is considering a few future projects. He had a career in manufacturing, eventually joined a fishing club, which "evolved" into his interest in artificial reefs and became an active member of LBARA in 1994.
"I like knowing that we have contributed something," he says. "[Artificial reefs] wouldn't have happened without us. They help our area. They build the economy. I am very proud of the work LBARA has accomplished. We've carried our banner well."
"I've been fishing forever," Fisher says, and adds that his name is coincidental to his love of fishing. He goes fishing twice a week on average in either the skiff or 24-foot Pathfinder he owns and enjoys catching flounder. He earned his bachelor's degree in accounting from UNC-Charlotte, and was a CPA before buying paper mills and pursuing opportunities they offered. He became interested in saltwater fishing and fish clubs, which in turn led him to be active in the reef association about a dozen years ago.
"Artificial reefs are vital to the area's recreational fishing," McMullan adds. "These guys are volunteers who take their time to work for the good of all area fishermen. They fight a tireless battle against bureaucracy with a simple goal to improve the resources. They deserve more recognition."

Cody Rhodes Talks 'Arrow' Guest Appearance
Ahead of Rhodes' debut on tonight's episode Arrow, CBR spoke exclusively with the now former WWE superstar on how his exit from the world of wrestling lead to his opportunity to guest star on the show.
Just over a year ago, Stephen Amell entered the ring at WWE Summerslam with his tag team partner Neville as the two faced off against Stardust(Cody Rhodes) and Wade Barrett. After months of an on-going feud which included several appearances on Monday Night Raw by Amell as well as numerous trash talking videos via social media, things culminated in spectacular fashion when Amell jumped from the top rope taking out both Barrett and Stardust. Amell tossed Barrett back into the ring for Neville to hit his high-flying signature finisher and secure the win.
Selfishly, in my mind, when we did the initial crossover, I always thought, "That would be cool if Stardust made his way to 'Arrow.'" As time went by, Stephen and I became buds. I thought that ship had maybe sailed. Then, in a dramatic fashion, I left WWE. When that happened, I had more time on my hands. I decided, "Why not? Why not read for it? I'm not asking for anything." I went through the proper channels. "Let's go read. Let's get in the room."
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Rhodes knowing he didn't exploit his position as a celebrity as well as the humility he brought when approaching his audition for the show.
Tonight's rematch between Amell and Rhodes feels like a dream come true knowing Amell will be in full Arrow gear with Black Neely's rousing score behind them as they duke it out.
To read the full interview head on over to CBR.
Arrow airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
WRESTLING STAR CODY RHODES BRINGS THE SMACK DOWN TO STAR CITY —Now that Oliver (Stephen Amell) has his new team, they are ready to hit the streets but Oliver doesn't feel they are ready. Headstrong Wild Dog (guest star Rick Gonzalez) defies the Green Arrow's orders and sets out on his own after a new drug dealer, Derek Sampson (guest star Cody Rhodes), who is terrorizing Star City. Sampson proves more powerful than Wild Dog and it is up to the Green Arrow to go head to head with Sampson to save his teammate.

Statewide honor for Grand Rapids bureaucrat's decades of service, mentorship
Eric DeLong, deputy city manager in Grand Rapids, accepts the Michigan Local Government Management Association's top statewide honor at a convention in Detroit last week.
By Matt Vande Bunte | mvandebu@mlive.com
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The deputy city manager has received the Michigan Local Government Management Association's top statewide honor.
Eric DeLong got the John M. Patriarche Distinguished Service Award last week at the Michigan Municipal League's annual convention in Detroit. He was chosen for his role in shepherding colleagues into the field of public administration, said Penny Hill, association president.
DeLong was recognized for the honor at the Tuesday, Sept. 24, Grand Rapids City Commission meeting, during which he expressed appreciation for what he has learned from peers over the course of his 30-year career.
"Looking back over the list of prior award recipients, I can say that I have known all of them and counted many as mentors," DeLong said in a statement released by the MML. "They took an interest in developing talent and I have tried to follow their example. None of us achieves anything alone and we should never try.
"There is so much to do to transform our communities and remake Michigan. We have made great progress in Grand Rapids and elsewhere. But, we have so much more potential and we must keep pushing forward for our Michigan."
A Central Michigan University alumnus with a master's degree from Michigan State University, DeLong was village manager in Spring Lake for 12 years before coming to work for Grand Rapids in 1995. He has been the city's deputy manager since 1999, and was among the final candidates for city manager in 2009 after Kurt Kimball retired.
DeLong during his career has guided others into the profession including Wyoming City Manager Curtis Holt and Ottawa County Administrator Al Vanderberg, both of whom he mentioned in his statement from the MML.
Kimball was a 2009 recipient of the Patriarche award, which was first given in 1992. Here's the list of other winners. One other local city administrator, former East Grand Rapids city manager Fred H. Tholen, Jr. in 1995, also has been given the award.

First released in @PipMeUp's expectancy mangement thread this scripts explore the dynamics of various and levels of expectancy.

##Model Constraints and assumpitons
- Risk is fixed.
- Reward is variable.
- Each trade is independent of the trade before it.

The risk is set at 1% by default but the actual size of the risk used in practive will only affect the gradient of the equity curves and not the overall dynamics.
The variable reward, or payoff, is simulatted by sampling from the a distribution generated from minimum, maximum and mean values supplied to the simulaiton function. Its assumed that the pay off is normally distributed with a skew to towards smaller than larger payoffs e.g. you won't pull large winners consistantly but they do happen. It also can be considered an low-fi way to model trailing stops, targets that are set by abitrary goals e.g. 2 times risk, and trades that get cut because they are wrong (or have demonstrated good reasons to stop).
The final assumption that the trades are independent of each does disregard trader psycology but simplifies the modelling and keeps us focused on the task at hand - exploring the impact of expectancy and risk/reward payoff on the equity curve.

##Short-coming
The model doesn't stop trading if equity goes negative - this keeps the code simpler and helps to illustrate the equaity curve dynamics better in the plume plot.

##Running the script
On Linux simply execute the run script:

```
$ ./run.sh
```

Outputs are stored in a sub folder called "output". The BASH runner script will archive existing non-empty output folders.

On Windows you can execute the script either from with in the R GUI or R Studio by sourcing the file, for example:
```
> source('C:\\Scripts\\QuantitativeResearch\\Expectancy\\expectancy.R')
```
You will have to managed the outputs yourself.

##Outputs
There are 5 outputs from each simulation run:
- equity curve plume plot
- histogram of expectancy values across the simulated trades.
- histogram of the pay off distribution
- a CSV file of the data behind the plume plot
- a CSV file of the expectancy values for each simulation step.

###Equity curve plume plot
![alt text][img_plume_plot]
The plume plot shows the range of all the equity curves generated by the simulation (the grey plume in the plots background. The green and dark red lines represent the best and worst curves generated by the simulation. The dashed blue line represents average equity curve for all simulation runs. Positive growth the average line is a good thing.

###Expectancy histogram
![alt text][img_expectancy_hist]
Derived from the simulations the histogram shows the variance in the expectancy across all the simulations. The vertical green lines denote 1 and 2 standard deviations less than the mean. The help illustrate that with sufficient pay-off systems with expectancy rates bellow 51% have the potential to be profitable (specifically if 2 standard deviations below the mean is still positive).

The data in this plot can found in the ```"experiment_name"_expectancies.csv``` file.

###Sample pay-off histogram
![alt text][img_payoff_hist]
The generated sample of the potential payoffs used for each of trade in the simulation run. Presented as a diagnostic tool to verify we had the desired distribution in pay-offs.

Sexual harassment in AIR: Will set up inquiry panel, says NCW chiefhttps://indianexpress.com/article/india/all-india-radio-sexual-harassment-ncw-inquiry-panel-5448807/
Sexual harassment in AIR: Will set up inquiry panel, says NCW chief
Sharma said the review of past cases and discussions with officials in the matter shows that the Air has been a "hub of sexual harassment at workplace".

"After we got the letter, we realised that even before my time as the chairperson, there have been several complaints from the AIR casual employees to the NCW regarding sexual harassment at its stations," said Rekha Sharma. (Express photo by Jaipal Singh/File)
TERMING THE All India Radio (AIR) "a hub of sexual harassment", National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma has said that the Commission will constitute an inquiry team to look into the pervasive nature of sexual harassment in AIR stations across the country. The NCW has issued directives to the Prasar Bharati and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, asking them to submit a report on the issue as also on the "arbitrary termination" of the services of women employees who complained.
Referring to a letter received from the All India Radio Casual Announcers and Comperes Union (AIRCACU) in the matter, Sharma told The Indian Express: "After we got the letter, we realised that even before my time as the chairperson, there have been several complaints from the AIR casual employees to the NCW regarding sexual harassment at its stations. The NCW had enquired into some of the complaints and issued directives to the Prasar Bharati in the past but not much came of it. I will now constitute an inquiry committee to look into why this is happening in so many places (AIR stations)."

— Shalini Nair (@ShaliniNair13) November 16, 2018
In a letter dated November 15, addressed to I & B Secretary Amit Khare, Sharma asked for Khare's "personal intervention in the matter", directing him to revert to the Commission with a status report within seven days. The NCW's letter dated November 14 to Prasar Bharati CEO Shashi Vempati states that the matter has already been brought to his attention by the workers' union on October 28 and he should report to the NCW on action taken within 15 days.
Queries on the issue, sent by The Indian Express to both the I&B Ministry and Prasar Bharati CEO, went unanswered.
The Indian Express reported on Thursday about Woman and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi asking the I & B Ministry to initiate a probe into the matter following a letter from AIRCACU last week. The report also highlighted cases from Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Haryana where the female casual employees who objected to the sexual/mental harassment paid with their jobs while the accused men, all permanent staffers, went scot-free.
