The group is composed by a multidisciplinary team that studies the socioeconomic, cultural, ethical and political dimensions of medicine, health and illness. The research is organized in four overarching themes: understanding health and disease experiences; improving health information on citizen-centred care; providing evidence base for health policies and regulation; effective health promotion and disease prevention.
a. Innovative technologies. This area intends to provide interesting and accessible studies at the social level, with strong qualitative and quantitative tradition. Projects on reproductive, genetic and neonatal technologies, health variation, and healthcare systems, focusing on health and disease experiences and regulatory and ethical frameworks of research and clinical practices are ongoing.
b. Social inequalities. Based in strong methodological concerns, the goal is to examine individual, situational and structural factors which affect the provision of health promotion and disease prevention and the quality, safety and effectiveness of healthcare for specific populations including children, adolescents, elderly, infertile couples, and parents of very preterm infants. To identify biological mechanisms through which social adversity is embedded and "gets under the skin" in order to better understand health inequalities.


"Hesitation in meeting the commitments will put this significant diplomatic achievement [JCPOA] to serious challenge, in which case the Islamic Republic of Iran will make decisions in line with its own independence and interests," Abbas Araqchi said on Monday during the fourth round of political dialogue between Iran and the European Union in Brussels.
The Iranian official held meetings on Monday morning and afternoon with the EU Deputy Foreign Policy Chief Helga Schmid.
During the talks, Araqchi stressed the significance of the JCPOA for the peace and safety of the Middle East region and the entire world.
Araqchi highlighted the fact that the most recent report of the International Atomic Energy Agency has conceded to Iran's complete compliance to its undertakings.
He called for facilitating an efficient and undeviating implementation of commitments made by the remaining signatories to the JCPOA, in particular, the European countries.
In this round of talks, a delegation of Iranian parliamentarians alongside a team from the Foreign Ministry and the heads of European Union's different institutions were present.
In the meetings, Iran and EU negotiators discussed bilateral cooperation in agriculture, education and research, commerce, energy and climate change, transportation, banking issues, refugees, drug, natural disasters, and human rights, as well as fighting terrorism.
Both sides talked about their last year's performance in the various arenas of concern, and agreed upon how to further their upcoming plans.
Part of the talks was allocated to discussing the regional issues.
In the meeting, Schmid said that according to the JCPOA, Iran should enjoy the dividends of lifting sanctions in an "effective manner".
Schmid said the seminar indicates the EU's strong support for the JCPOA, adding that all the 28 members of the EU are committed to the implementation of the nuclear deal.
She further noted that as long as Iran honors its undertakings, the EU will stay committed to fully implementing the agreement.
As an instance of the EU's commitment and its practical support, she referred to European countries' recent statement in support of the JCPOA as well as their attempts to develop the trade mechanism of the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
She added that the deal has led to cooperation between Iran and the EU in some areas which were formerly not feasible to do.

Strood (1st) (locally known as and marked on old maps as The Old Terminus) was a terminus of the South Eastern Railway located in Strood and serving also the towns of Chatham and Rochester. It closed for passengers in 1856 when the present Strood station was opened. The site was then used as a sidings yard until around 1990. It is now occupied by housing development and industrial units.

Does anybody really like Amazon's new gimmicky 3D Fire Phone?
By Team ITPP 19 June 2014
For weeks, Amazon teased the tech world with sneak peeks of its debut smartphone. Last night, the company finally bared all.
The Fire Phone has arrived, and it's caused somewhat of a stir. The build-up to the launch was dominated by suggestions that the handset would pack a few features that could help set it apart from the rest of the competition, and the rumour-mongers have been proven right.
The headline feature of Amazon's new device is definitely "dynamic perspective", which uses four front cameras – that track your eyes and mouth – to create a 3D effect. Also on board is Firefly, which acts like a digital shopping assistant. Again using the camera, it is able to identify objects around you (like a dress) and add them to your Amazon shopping cart.
Elsewhere, the 139.2 x 66.5 x 8.9mm, 160g smartphone carries a 4.7in 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution display, a 13-megapixel rear camera, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and the Amazon Fire OS v3.5, which is based on Android. The mobile also packs Mayday support and a free 12-month subscription to Amazon Prime.
ITProPortal's full review of the Amazon Fire Phone will be up on the site in due course, but here are our early impressions.
Alysia: It's no secret that the smartphone market is saturated, dominated by established industry leaders Apple and Samsung. On home soil, analysts say that 70 per cent of UK consumers already have smartphones, and the remaining 30 per cent will probably stick to simple feature phones – none of these flashy 3D cameras and biometric technologies, thank you very much.
So Amazon really needed to pull something special out the bag with its smartphone debut, and while the Fire Phone certainly has some nifty features, can we really call it a game changer? Sure, the 3D screen enabled through four front-facing cameras is technically impressive, but it smacks of gimmick rather than revolution.
Not only that, by launching only in the US, Amazon has limited the scale of developers who may wish to build apps for the new operating system. As we've seen with Windows Phone, fewer apps can be the death of a mobile device - especially for the younger generation of smartphone enthusiasts. The Fire Phone may have been years in development, but it still has a long way to go.
Aatif: Must try harder. The Fire Phone looks like a decent handset, but I'm not exactly bowled over by its supposedly "killer" features. While I'm sure it will amuse some people happy for a few days, the 3D functionality just reminds me of those collectible cards you could find in cereal boxes back in the day - I think I might still have a Jurassic Park one hanging around somewhere.
The mobile is far too gimmick-heavy for me. Sure, Firefly might make your retail life a little easier - and it will definitely help fill Amazon's pockets - but it won't change your life. As for this gesture control stuff, it's all been done before. I'd have been much more impressed by a battery capable of lasting at least two days.
Paul: Amazon had a huge opportunity to make big waves in the smartphone industry ith this phone launch, but it seems to have somewhat blown its chances. While some innovative features have been included, the Fire isn't likely to appeal to consumers at its current premium price point. A company with Amazon's capital should have seen the benefit of offering a decent phone for a budget price, but instead it's opted for a more high-end device that doesn't look remarkable on paper when compared to the much better value Nexus 5, for instance.
While flashy gimmicks might impress, consumers are still after the same thing: better battery life, low price points and larger screens, and the Fire hasn't delivered on any of these fronts.
Tom: I'm the resident iPhone user here at ITPP Towers, so being a bit of an iOS snob, it takes quite a lot to impress me phone-wise. I'm liking the look of the Amazon Fire Phone though. Whereas in my opinion many Android phones lack an attractive interface, Jeff Bezos' new baby looks great. The menus look clean, professional, smooth and responsive. No complaints about the 4.7in screen size either.
Read more: Amazon Fire Phone vs LG G3: Spec comparison
Considering the Fire Phone's link with Amazon Prime music (newly launched alongside the phone), speaker quality is important, and the dual stereo speakers should offer a decent listening experience. Since Bezos has very much billed the device as a way to enjoy Amazon entertainment services, a decent screen resolution and sound quality is important, if I am to gain a TV-like experience from it. The model's average screen resolution is worrying in this respect. Its claimed 65-hour audio playback is great though.
Equally worrying is the phone's Fire OS – a heavily modified version of Android OS – since app development for the platform may be slow, and this could irk many users used to the variety offered on other leading models.

Opportunities: Pick of the Week – Writer in Residence at Theatre Clwyd
1 Comment / Opportunities, Pick of the Week / By A.C. Smith
Each week we look through our pile of writing opportunities to pick out one we think is particularly worth your time. It could be an innovative brief, great prize money, a high-profile company, or just plain fun.
This week's pick: Writer in Residence at Theatre Clwyd
Description: The Writer in Residence opportunity at Theatre Clwyd will offer four weeklong residencies in Wales in 2017. Selected writers will receive a bursary to cover costs, accommodation in Wales, and the opportunity to develop work as part of the Theatre Clwyd community.
So, what's so great about it? While London has an incredibly rich theatre ecology, it's a big mistake to look past the brilliant work happening across the UK. Since taking over as Artistic Director at Theatre Clwyd, Tamara Harvey has worked to make the theatre a home for new writers, and this is a key part of that initiative. This is a great way to get dedicated space for your writing, without the isolation that can sometimes entail. You'll have the opportunity to watch rehearsals and to get feedback on your work, including the potential to work with the actors performing there. You've got until Monday 28 November to get your application in!
Read the full details here.
Please note, we've posted this for your convenience and we're not affiliated with the organisers of the opportunity.

Oxfordshire A Glorious County. Witney
14 September 2020 admin
One of the places featured in the book Oxfordshire A Glorious County is Witney.
Witney is a busy town which became famous all over the world for its blanket making. It has an impressive Buttercross and Town Hall in Market Square, a large green leading to its parish church which dominates the view. Witney's main street runs for nearly a mile to the green with a variety of stone buildings.
Situated on the River Windrush the water from the river is said to have particular qualities which contributed to the softness of its blankets.
In 1669 Thomas Early started making blankets at Witney and the family continued here for over two hundred years. In the 1930's there were over five hundred looms and over one thousand people working in the industry. By the time Thomas was thirty years of age his blankets were famous, and he presented a pair edged in gold fringes to James II when the King visited Oxford in 1688. In 1711 the Witney weavers were granted a Charter by Queen Anne.
Blankets were exported to the Indians of Virginia and New England in the United States of America. At the Great Exhibition in 1851 John Early showed a patterned blanket which won him a bronze medallion and a certificate signed by Prince Albert.
The imposing Buttercross was built in 1683 at the point where three roads meet. It has thirteen stone pillars, a steep roof and four gables. The central pillar is thought to have been the column of the original preaching cross. Richard Ashcombe left £50 to the Bailiffs of Witney to be 'bestowed and layed out in the building of a house over and above crosse of Witney'. The roof is topped by a clock turret and a sun dial which were placed there as a result of a bequest made by William Blake of Cogges. For many year's women from neighbouring villages sold butter and eggs from stalls sheltered under its roof.
The Town Hall stands opposite the Buttercross. It dates to the eighteenth century and replaced an earlier building which stood on the site. It is said that it was designed by Sir William Chambers who also designed the town hall in Woodstock. The upper floor is supported on Tuscan columns and grain was sold under the arches until the new Corn Exchange was built in the seventeenth century.
Market Square leads to Church Green which is a wide spacious area with lime trees and stone buildings on each side.
St Mary's Church was re-built in the first half of the thirteenth century. It incorporates parts of the nave and north porch of a Norman church. Its Early English tower and spire rises up 156 feet making it a landmark which is visible for miles around. Inside it has monuments to the Wenham family who were blanket makers in Witney, and the churchyard has the grave of Sergeant Major Patrick Moulder whose service during the Napoleonic Wars included the battles of Corunna, Vittoria, Toulouse, and the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo.
Witney is a market town which has many reminders of its wealth from blanket making, and a range of stone buildings.

Man, 7th Avenue is really going off this Friday.
First, we've got that 7th Avenue Streetscape debut.
And now, Phoenix Metro Retro is throwing a little shindig to honor a Mr. Al Beadle, one of the Valley's most acclaimed architects.
Beadle passed away about ten years ago but his work can be seen in neighborhoods across the Valley. Namely, the Paradise Gardens, which can be toured this weekend at the 6th Annual Modern Phoenix Home Tour + Expo.
Phoenix Metro Retro, a mid-century modern furniture store on 7th Avenue, is hosting a little kickoff this Friday for the weekend's events. Starting at 6 p.m., photography of Al Beadle's designs will be on display. Viewers can see images of the Safari Hotel in Scottsdale - before it was demolished, that is.

Alex Otti, rose to the highest level in banking.
But I stand to ask that all through this period no body knows about him in terms of showing charity and chivalry to people,no foundation was recorded against his name in Abia state like his contemporaries eg Pat Utomi,Tony Elumelu and others.We started hearing about Alex Otti immediately he was sacked from Diamond bank.At Diamond Bank he was busy moving money for Theodare Orji,rebooked Abia state loan with first bank to Diamond Bank at a higher interest rate.
At Diamond Bank,he fustrated Actis a major financier of diamond Bank with the aim of buying over their share with Diamond Bank unfortunately for him the clause in the MOU of the bank with ACTIS stopped him and Paschal Dozie as the founder of diamonbank was highly disappointed in OTTI.
Alex Otti should stop deceiving Abians/ public that he won the first election he contested with Dr OKEZIE Ikpeazu after a court of competent jurisdiction have proved OKEZIE IKPEAZU the winner,in law,it is a jailable offence.
Alex Otii promised a lean type of government,practically he has promised to sack Abia workers,instead of promising judicious use of our IGR and take care of Abia workers.
Ikpeazu never accepted squandering N4B Abia fund ,rather it is a mere propaganda by opposition political parties.
I challenge Alex Otti to show me what Orji Uzor and Theodare Orji did in their last 16yrs as Govonor,now OKEZIE has the Aba Econo mic city,Enyimba stadium and over 50 roads in Abia state to his credit and Alex Otti is busy telling lies today.


I wanted to write about this extraordinary man who was beatified in 1988 because it hits home to me... who used to attend regularly the Mass at the 9th and final mission he founded (San Buenaventura) before his death... a few more were founded by his order later. Also, Hope lives right in this region and Sia grew up in California so all of us must have a bit of a soft spot for Father Serra who is largely responsible for the spread of the Faith in the Western United States... converting thousands by his simple message, austere lifestyle and evident love of God. Father Serra pray for us!

What Will the Trump Presidency Mean for Scientific Skepticism?
November 9, 2016 December 13, 2016 Emil Karlsson 2016 U. S. General Election, Alex Jones, anti-immigration, anti-intellectualism, bigotry, climate change, conspiracy theories, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, LGBT, post-fact, science, scientific skepticism, Trump, vaccines
Donald Trump has now been elected as the next President of the United States and Hillary Clinton has conceded the election to him. He won by an estimated 289 electoral votes to the 218 of Clinton. This might slightly change over the coming days as the vote counting is complete, but it is clear that Trump has won. Most polls and models predicted that Clinton would win by a small margin, but they were mistaken. This is partly because of the flawed methodology and partly because the far right is often underestimated in pre-election polls.
What will this mean for science and scientific skepticism? Two major groups of issues is that Trump is against vaccines and climate change, and has also promoted pseudoscientific bigotry against ethnic minorities, immigrants, women and people with disabilities. This post will examine some of the potential consequences and impacts of a Trump presidency for science and scientific skepticism.
Here are some of the issues that will face science and scientific skepticism during the Trump presidency. It is by no means an exhaustive list, but it gives a flavor for the breath and depths of some of the problems we are likely to now face.
Vaccines: Trump has stated on numerous occasions that he thinks that vaccines cause autism. In particular, he has regurgitated the myth of "too many, too soon". This might have implications for how much resources is being spent on vaccine development, distribution and vaccination rates.
Climate change: Trump believes that climate change is just a hoax invented by the Chinese to make American suffer economically. His rejection of climate science can potentially have disastrous consequences, both when it comes to the Paris agreement and our chance at preventing or mitigating climate change consequences.
Renewable energy: Trump has repeated myths against wind turbines, such as overestimating number of birds killed and opposed them in practice. He has even gone on the record in saying that new light bulbs somehow cause cancer. It is unclear what will happen with renewable energy under a Trump presidency.
Environmental regulation: Trump stated previously that he wanted to eliminate the EPA, but he recently claimed that he wanted to refocus the agency on clean air and drinking water. Like climate change, it is probably not a huge surprise that Trump will downplay climate and environmental issues.
Conspiracy-mongering: Trump was a strong supporter of the birther conspiracy theory and he has appeared approvingly on the Alex Jones show. Jones is one of the most well-known and popular promoter of conspiracy theorists in the United States. Thus, this is a huge victory for conspiracy theorists and we can expect that their platform will be strengthened.
Anti-immigration: Trump has tapped in and reinforced anti-immigration misinformation and bigotry, including many talking points directly taken from the white supremacist playbook. He has also ignorantly attacked women and people with disabilities. Anti-immigration sentiments and related pseudosciences are likely to increase.
Education: Trump thinks that the Department of Education should be downsized and that the U. S. is spending too much money on K-12 education. This is a recipe for disaster. We need more education, not less.
Economy and jobs: Around 800 economists (including Nobel Prize winners) declared in a letter that Trump is dangerous and destructive for jobs and the economy because he is wrong on the facts.
LGBT issues: Pence has made several anti-LGBT statements and even opposed an anti-discrimination law that would have made it illegal to discriminate LGBT people in the workplace. Because republicans have secured both the Presidency, the Congress and the Supreme Court, the next four years look bleaker for LGBT people then the past eight years with Obama.
Evolution: Pence is a creationist and has promoted many myths about evolution. We need more information about how Trump will handle education to know how teaching and research on evolution will be impacted.
Embryonic stem cell research: Pence also opposes embryonic stem cell research. Here we also need more information to have a good idea about what the specific consequences will be.
These were some of the issues that will face science and scientific skepticism during a Trump presidency. Right now, it might seem like an impenetrable darkness, but what can we do to defend rational science and critical thinking?
How can we take American back again?
What are some possible solutions that we can use to mitigate these problems? It will not be easy by any means, but here are some preliminary suggestions on a way forward.
Against anti-intellectualism: for decades, there have been a very virulent strain of anti-intellectualism circulating in the United States. The denigration of education and scoffing at thoughtful analysis of reality have been a cultural norm to a certain extent where intellectuals are dismissed as "geeks", "nerds" or "people with no life".
Against post-fact politics: this election demonstrated that facts have taken a backseat to rhetoric and flair. People are more convinced about buzzwords than reality. This must change. Everyone must make a conscious effort to counter misinformation on every level at every opportunity. Do not pick your battles and do not only preach to the crowd.
Against media ignorance: media attention means popular attention. The media gave a ton of attention to Trump early on, which meant a lot of free advertisement. This tactic needs to be reconsidered.
Against fake news: the spread of fake news about important issues have clouded the minds of millions of people. This has been reinforced and reinvigorated by social media, where people can closed themselves in a bubble of misinformation because algorithm are intentionally designed to make you see whatever you want to see, rather than see whatever happens to be most accurate. Here, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter has a very large responsibility to tweak their algorithms to defeat falsehoods. People also need to stop sharing crap on social media. At least Facebook and Twitter should provide an option for users to tick when they are sharing fakes stuff.
Against isolating politics from science and rationality: there is an incredibly strong effort to attempt to isolate politics from science and critical thinking. You see this when politicians suggest policies that goes radically goes against science. You see this when people say "I thought this Facebook page was about science? Unsubscribed." when you discuss anti-science falsehoods promoted by a politicians. Political polices need to be based on science and ideally supported by randomized control trials when that is possible and people need to stop being afraid of bringing the full weight of science and rationality to political issues. When politicians promote pseudoscientific bigotry, their claims are fair game for scientific skeptics to oppose and criticize.
Against bad identity politics: the far right has complained about "identity politics" for years and decried it as irrational pandering to people based on superficial traits. While there may or may not be some merit to this objection, the far right has not repudiated identity politics, but rather taken identity politics to extremist levels, in particular with regards to white supremacism. This malignant form needs to be broken down and replaced with an evidence-based appreciation that it is important to treat people as individuals and not judge them by whatever group we assign them to, but also be mindful of structural discrimination as revealed by scientific research. We must be able to both promote descriptive individualism and oppose structural discrimination. We cannot just pick one of these.
Against two-party polarization: needless to say, a lot of people disliked both Clinton and Trump, but felt that voting for a third-party would be a wasted vote. If we can break down the two-party system, this kind feeling of "plague versus cholera" among the American people might be mitigated in the future. In reality, you would want to have cholera over plague just based on mortality rates, but people should have a realistic shot at not having what they feel is cholera, so to speak.
Against bigotry: scientifically ignorant and harmful bigotry against women, immigrants and ethnic minorities has taken a front seat in this election. It is based on fearmongering, abuse of faulty statistics, and cognitive biases. These are severe problems that must be fought. In the last hours of the election, the alleged "evidence-free leftist identity politics" has not been enough or even that effective. What we need now is a reinforced and scientifically informed assault on bigotry and the pseudoscience that underpins it. In particular, the intellectual pretense and pretensions of the alt right needs to be thoroughly dismantled.
CNN Political commentator Ana Navarro said this morning that "one nightmare is over, another is just beginning". I think that is an apt description of what is currently happening.

Scientific American published the following article recently: Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition:
Donald Trump has selected one of the best-known climate skeptics to lead his U.S. EPA transition team, according to two sources close to the campaign.
Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump's transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

Emil,
Great Job, I really hope the skeptical community is prepared to fight hard. We have our work cut out for us.
Things are really looking bad right now. I'm going to hate to see what the Trump administration science policies will be.
I already told you about this on twitter, but I think I might as well post it here in a comment as well, since it is relevant and adds to the point you're trying to make, and some more of your readers might see it.
For those who are unaware, Trump appointed Stephen K. Bannon to be his chief strategist. Bannon was in charge of a far right "news" website here in the States known as Brietbart, and based on what he allowed to be posted there, the guy is not exactly the most scientifically literate person.

Trump is also going to be bad when it comes to something else skeptics tend to value. He's going to be horrible when it comes to issues of secularism, and the separation of church and state.

Trump Considering Creationist Jerry Falwell Jr. For Position In Department Of Education
http://au.org/blogs/wall-of-separation/trump-considering-creationist-jerry-falwell-jr-for-position-in-department
Very disturbing developments indeed. I have also been keeping a close eye on the white supremacist movement and how their hate rhetoric has burst into the scene:
"One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem," Spencer said in a reference to a Jewish fable in a portion of his speech dedicated to criticizing both the media and Jews.
He also used a Nazi-era propaganda term meaning "lying press" to describe reporters, citing "the mainstream media — or perhaps we should refer to them in the original German, lugenpresse."
That we even have to hear this kind of pseudospeciation nonsense is truly terrifying. But the fight against pseudoscientific bigotry continues.
I heard. That's really shocking isn't it?
Well there is some good news, Nazis and Klansman may have been emboldened by Trump, and there may have been a subsequent rise in hate crimes, but now this is happening in response.
Across the country, Americans are standing up against hate : As hate crimes are surging, everyday people are responding.
https://thinkprogress.org/americans-stand-up-hate-b4a7cab024f5#.e68yhhsk6
Hopefully they'll be able to send a message to these wannabe SS rejects, including Richard Spencer, that they are not going to be able to undo the civil rights movement, regardless of Trump.
I am all for non-violent protest.
For completeness, I should note that Snopes has a slightly different take from CNN on the issue: they think he was only talking about the media, but Snopes do use the term white nationalist that CNN was avoiding and acknowledged that he used a lot of antisemitic language typical of Nazis.
Okay, take a look at who Trump has picked for secretary of education
With DeVos Pick, Trump Declares War on Public Education
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/with-devos-pick-trump-declares-war-on-public-education/
If both Falwell and her are part of the Department of Education under Trump, its going to be really bad. Education in the United States will really suffer.
Also, although not directly science, or skepticism related, Trump has picked Jeff Sessions to be the next attorney general, which would also be really bad. The man is racist, an opponent of civil rights, and voting rights, homophobic, and has actively lobbied to ban abortions.
Stop Jeff Sessions from becoming Attorney General. He would be disastrous for civil rights.

Be glad that Trump is not president of Sweden Emil. At least your country isn't going to have to deal with this, anywhere near as much as I am.
You are certainly right that Trump is many orders of magnitude worse than what is happening in Sweden.
However, a party with its roots in Nazism has ~20% or so of votes at the moment, on par with the largest left-leaning and largest right-leaning parties. So realistically, we are looking at (1) parliamentary disarray (if neither left or right can get enough parliamentary votes to push through their prime minister candidate and budget or (2) a right-wing government with active or passive support from anti-immigration forces after 2018 election and whatever negotiating benefits the latter will get for their support.
Granted, the leader of the right-wing coalition is basically just a slightly more right-wing version of Hillary Clinton and there are basically no religious conservatives in politics (~4% of votes), but the largest concern now is what they have to give up for support from the far right.
My hope is that after Brexit, Trump victory and upcoming French elections, people will realize that all of that was a terrible mistake. I am cautiously optimistic despite it all and I think we must be.
Good point, there's certainly a problem with the far right where you live as well. Hopefully people will realize supporting them was a mistake soon.
Here's something else I told you about via twitter, but again, Its also relevant here as well.
Trump to scrap Nasa climate research in crackdown on 'politicized science' : Nasa's Earth science division is set to be stripped of funding as the president-elect seeks to shift focus away from home in favor of deep space exploration
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/22/nasa-earth-donald-trump-eliminate-climate-change-research?CMP=share_btn_tw
Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as "politically correct environmental monitoring".
"We see Nasa in an exploration role, in deep space research," Walker told the Guardian. "Earth-centric science is better placed at other agencies where it is their prime mission.
"My guess is that it would be difficult to stop all ongoing Nasa programs but future programs should definitely be placed with other agencies. I believe that climate research is necessary but it has been heavily politicized, which has undermined a lot of the work that researchers have been doing. Mr Trump's decisions will be based upon solid science, not politicized science."
Its going to be a very long and painful four years for me and my family.
There is a good post by Phil Plait about this: Trump's Plan to Eliminate NASA Climate Research Is Ill-Informed and Dangerous.
It also seems that Trump is distancing himself just a tiny bit from the hoax claim, saying that some connectivity between humans and climate change.
At this time, Trump flip-flops and changes his rhetoric so often on so many things that is hard to know what his eventual policy will be. But there are reasons to be severely concerned.
Thanks, I like to see what Phil Plait has to say about this. I also heard about him going back on his claim that humans are causing climate change, late last night, but I still don't know what to make of it. It is a good sign if he's being honest, and not just saying that to shut up people critical of him on this issue, but to even admit humans may have something to do with climate change will enrage his climate change denialist supporters. Let's see if he flip flops on climate change again.

Still searching for a New Year's resolution? New research suggests that adopting a yoga practice can do wonders for your health.
The research, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, reviewed 37 randomized controlled trials — the gold-standard of study designs — including 2,768 people and a nearly even gender split.
Compared to people who don't exercise, those who did yoga showed significant improvement in their BMI, blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol, the review found. In fact, yoga performed just as well as exercise, like cycling or brisk walking, at weight loss and blood pressure measures.
How much you need to practice to reap the benefits remains unclear, the study authors note, as does the mechanism. But they think they may have an inkling: the authors credit stress reduction as one potential way that yoga improves metabolic and heart function, as well as inflammation.

In our generation of MapQuest, PDAs, and GPS, we are rarely without directions. From the kindly female voice that chimes "turn left at the next intersection," we have learned to put our lives on auto-pilot and head for the waters of calm seas. It's not unusual right? After all, we all want to have happy, contented lives; however, when we put our lives on automatic and accept the course that is directed by outside voices, we do not really have any control over the outcome and we are rarely prepared to weather the storms.
Many times, outside voices from the media and even loved ones, or internal pressures from doubt limit the horizon of our travels. We simply glide through life making turns based on what we "should" do instead of what we instinctively believe is the right path. Days pass by us with the thought that "one day I will" cemented into our consciousness without the realization that one day is always one day away. And, to state the obvious, each day is 24 hours we cannot get back.
Like a real GPS, our internal system can be affected by many unpredictable forces. For example, everyone has experienced a longer trip than planned because of road construction or the addition of a new road. In truth, any navigation system can only give you directions based on the information available at that given time. So it is with your internal GPS, which is constantly scanning the feelings and situations surrounding you for ways to interact and travel the path of life. Not choosing one direction inevitably leads you in another direction. Sometimes, our internal guide is hampered by the fears and doubts we carry around. Sometimes, we are affected by feelings of others and or their internal GPS and all of the interpretations it has made for them.
But, for one moment, stop to consider how your internal GPS has changed in the past few years and think about when you stopped looking at the landmarks of your life with the innocent appreciation of traveling the "road less traveled." Are you on another road than the one you originally intended to drive or simply on another path? Getting back on your path, the one you control, is easier than you think. And, the best news is that it is never too late to chart your course.
1. Envision the End Result: Take a few minutes to really consider where you want to be when you arrive at your destination. Any good trip starts with planning. Your life path should be no exception to this rule. You can not arrive if you don't know where you are going.
2. Set a Goal: Once you know where you want to be when you succeed, plan a route for getting there. Remember the way that a GPS directs you through turns and navigates you through the obstacles? Do the same thing! Give yourself a series of steps that plan the route to success.
3. Baby Steps Count: Make the first trip a day trip or a field trip. Often, when we set up goals that are massive, we are setting ourselves up for overwhelm which leads to failure. No matter what you want to achieve, break it down into several manageable goals to give you a series of small successes that lead to a large achievement.
4. Locate the Landmarks: Find where your milestones are for your goals. Know what each step looks like so you can know when you have reached a landmark. That way, you'll have both something to strive for on the horizon and a set finish line that does not move.
5. Find a trustworthy navigator: Locating someone you can trust to help you chart your trip and avoid the landmines will be invaluable to achieving your goals. Having a support team in place to help you drive down your road and provide fuel during your trip will give you strength and resilience to keep going when you are tired.
6. Build in Bathroom Breaks: Whether you stop to evaluate your route, grab a soda, or take a break, build in time for you to spend with family or do activities you enjoy without thought of your path. This will help keep your energy fresh and give you focus when you are working to achieve your goals.
7. Take Responsibility for the Outcome: As this is your road to follow your passions, you must take ultimate responsibility for the accomplishment. If you need help, then find it. If you need support or direction, then locate it. The trip is not about going it alone. The trip is about going where you have always wanted to be!
Each of us is born with a sense of where we want to travel in life. Most of the time, we are also given the abilities to follow that path. Sometimes, we must weather storms to truly appreciate the value what we want to do, but by fine tuning your internal GPS…you will be able to locate the landmarks that will make your trip a phenomenal adventure.

In-vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous, alcoholic, and chloroform extracts of leaves of Rauvolfia tetraphylla L. and Jatropha curcas L. against various bacteria along with their photochemical analysis was studied. The antibacterial activities of different extracts were evaluated by disc diffusion assay with standard antibacterial drugs as a positive control in the present study. Methanol extract of both plants have shown good and comparable antimicrobial activity against most gram positive and gram negative bacteria tested which was in the range of except against S. typhimurim and E. Coli . Chloroform extract of Rauvolfia tetraphylla was also effective against majority of bacteria (12.00 0.58 to 14.67 0.88 mm) but Chloroform extract of Jatropha curcas had activity against S. aureus, K. pneumonia and P. vulgaris only with zone of inhibition in the range of (12.67 1.20 to 14.33 2.03 mm). Water extracts of both the plants did not show any antibacterial activity. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, diterpenes, triterpenes, and carbohydrates in the methanol extracts of both the plants. The potency of the crude extracts of Rauvolfia tetraphylla and Jatropha curcas to inhibit the growth of bacteria is an indication of its antimicrobial potential which may be useful to explore its efficacy against bacterial infections.

PM Asks for Iranian Firms' Partnership in Reconstruction of Syria
TEHRAN (FNA)- Syrian Prime Minister Imad al-Khamis in a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called for Iran's cooperation in the reconstruction of Syria in regions cleansed of terrorist groups.
"We will pursue reconstruction in partnership and cooperation with the friendly states, specially the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia and their private companies," Khamis said during the meeting in Damascus on Monday.
Zarif, for his part, welcomed Khamis' invitation, stressing the need for the Iranian and Syrian embassies to facilitate presence of Iran's companies in Syria.
The two sides also underlined exchange of economic delegations and efforts to increase cooperation between the two countries' private sectors.
Before meeting Khamis, Zarif had held talks with his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem in Damascus.
During the meeting on Monday, Muallem asked Iran to continue support for his country in efforts to annihilate the terrorist groups, praising Tehran's past assistance.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed the latest developments in bilateral ties and Syria, the issue of the Syrian refugees, the peace talks in Astana, increased economic cooperation and Iranian companies' partnership in reconstruction of Syria.
Zarif, for his part, underscored Iran's support for Syria in the fight against terrorist groups, noting that the Astana talks and the upcoming trilateral summit among the Iranian, Russian and Turkish officials in Tehran will pursue the political process in Syria.
Zarif traveled to Damascus on Monday for talks with high-ranking Syrian officials.
Last week, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami had traveled to Damascus and signed an agreement for defense cooperation between the two countries with his Syrian counterpart.

Nagorno-Karabakh and the military balance
By Tomáš Baranec and Beskid Juraj
May 10th, 2016, The CACI Analyst
A new wave of escalation hit Nagorno-Karabakh in early April. In the course of what was probably Azerbaijani reconnaissance by force, claiming dozens of dead on both sides, Baku managed to secure several heights controlled by Armenian forces. Immediate hostilities have receded for now, but the question remains how the military strength of both sides has changed in recent years, what this means for the future of the peace process, and the role of Russian arms in the resurrection of this conflict.
Fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh and the ineffectiveness of the Minsk Group
April 27th, 2016, The CACI Analyst
The recent unprecedented escalation around Nagorno-Karabakh highlighted deep systemic shortcomings in existing international mediation initiatives. The OSCE Minsk Group, dedicated to settling the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, has become largely irrelevant in the new operational situation. The intense fighting erupted on April 2 and lasted for four days until a Russia-brokered ceasefire between the adversaries was mutually agreed upon on April 5. The fighting put an end to the 22-year-old ceasefire regime, and the security environment of the South Caucasus. The escalation was clearly a consequence of a shift in the military balance of power, consistently fueled by Russia's distribution of advanced offensive arms to Azerbaijan and the evident impracticability of the Minsk Group.
Georgia's Former Defense Minister Blames Government for Damaging State Interests
By Eka Janashia (04/15/2015 issue of the CACI Analyst)
On April 3, former Defense Minister Irakli Alasania claimed that Georgia's government thwarted a crucially important defense deal with France likely due to Russia's objection to Georgia's enhanced defensive capabilities.
According to Alasania, French President François Hollande agreed during his visit to Tbilisi last year to sell air defense capabilities to Georgia. The move marked the end of an arms embargo informally imposed against Georgia after the 2008 August war as western partners hesitated to sell defensive weapons to the country.
The government worked out subsequent proposals and tasked Alasania with striking an initial deal – a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) – with the French side. He arrived in Paris in late October, but was just before the signing of the document deprived of his mandate to do so. Alasania asserts that Billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili decided to prevent the deal under pressure from the Kremlin.
The MoU envisaged the conclusion of a final agreement at the end of March, which would aim to reinforce Georgia's air defense system and shield the country from attacks of fighter aircraft and even short and medium-range ballistic missiles. The deal also foresaw specific training to familiarize the Georgian servicemen with the system. Importantly, the deal would be paid for through a long-term loan, which would not have been painfully reflected in the state budged, the former minister said.
As Alasania refused to comply with the "illegal instruction," of the "informal ruler [Ivanishvili]," the ministry's general staff officials were arrested to raise the pressure on him. Nevertheless, Alasania signed the document in order not to lose the chance that "opened up for Georgia after many years of embargo."
Shortly thereafter, he was sacked from the post of Defense Minister and his Our Georgia-Free Democrats (OGFD) party left the Georgian Dream (GD) ruling coalition. Yet Alasania has not disclosed the MoU-related sensitive details until now (see the 11/11/2014 issue of the CACI Analyst).
The government made efforts to reject Alasania's allegations. On the same day, PM Irakli Gharibashvili indicted him for exposing state secrets and the Ministry of Defense released an interview with the French ambassador saying that discussions on military cooperation between Georgia and France military, which started last year, were still underway.
However, it remains a fact that the final agreement, allegedly envisaged in the MoU, was not signed at the end of March, 2015. OGFD requests the formation of an ad hoc parliamentary commission with access to classified information to cast light on the issue and confirm or deny the assertions that Alasania made on April 3.
It seems that Alasania has been awaiting the government's failure to meet the deadline to raise the matter. However, there could be another reason why he raised the criticism at this time.
On April 1, the U.S. NGO International Republican Institute (IRI) published the results of public opinion research conducted throughout Georgia on February 3-28, 2015. The survey mapped the foreign and domestic policy preferences as well as the ratings of political parties and their leaders.
A clear trend unveiled by the polls is the waning popularity of GD. In local elections held in June 2014, the coalition garnered just over 50 percent of the votes, while according to IRI research, the likely number of GD voters has dropped to 36 percent. It is followed by United National Movement (UNM) with 14 percent, OGFD with 10 percent, Labor Party with 6 percent, Alliance of Patriots of Georgia and Democratic Movement–United Georgia with 5 percent each. Alasania's favorability rating is 57 percent, with a disapproval rating at 34 percent, while the corresponding figures for PM Gharibashvili are 56/39 percent respectively. Alasania is the most favored candidate among the opposition leaders.
In terms of foreign policy priorities, the poll showed that Georgians strongly support their country's integration with Euro-Atlantic structures. 85 percent of the respondents favor Georgia's membership in the EU and 78 percent support its accession to NATO. 76 percent of Georgians deem the Russian Federation as a threat to the country while 88 percent think Russian aggression toward Georgia is ongoing or likely to resume.
Another striking trend disclosed by the survey is the apathy and skepticism that has been growing among the population since 2014. People are less optimistic about the future than a year ago. 55 percent of the respondents think Georgia is on the wrong track, and only 25 percent approve the country's current trajectory.
Although GD, as well as some experts and politicians, expressed skepticism regarding the polls, it might be a mistake to ignore the overall context that the survey has outlined. What is a warning for the ruling coalition might be an opportunity for the opposition parties. Talking about the air defense affair, while most Georgians fear continued Russian aggression, is beneficial to Alasania and OGFD. This shift in opinion is also reflected in the declining support for GD and the growing popularity of Alasania.

Guelph, Ont., April 18, 2016—The City filed its response today to the Part II Order requests made to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) for the Niska Road Class Environmental Assessment (EA).
A Part II Order request asks for a higher level of assessment and can be requested once the EA notice of completion has been issued. The City originally issued the notice of completion for the Niska Road EA on February 11, 2016, then extended the 30-day review period after one set of review document copies were moved to a new location. The public had until March 30 to file a Part II order request; two requests were filed with the Minister's office.
require the proponent to comply with the Part II Order and prepare a terms of reference and individual environmental assessment.
The estimated cost to implement the recommended improvements to the road is approximately $2.1 million and bridge is $2.4 million. A total of $2,950,000 is included in the 2016 Capital Budget and Forecast. This budget was approved on December 10, 2015. The remaining estimated funds will be requested in future budgets.
The City continues to monitor the safety of the bridge structure. Ongoing bridge assessments are regularly completed to observe deterioration and to determine whether any repair work is needed to maintain the bridge for safe driving conditions.
The EA was initiated in 2013 to evaluate needed improvements to the road and bridge to meet current standards, and to address the deterioration and increasing maintenance costs of the bridge. The bridge underwent repairs in late April 2015 to keep it in service while the City continued the environmental assessment for a permanent solution.

Ле́нчицкое переми́рие () — перемирие, заключенное в Ленчицком замке 25 декабря 1433 года в ходе польско-тевтонской войны 1431-1435 годов  между Королевством Польским и Тевтонским орденом на двенадцать лет.

Предыстория

Под давлением населения Пруссии Тевтонский орден был вынужден согласиться на перемирие на условиях польской стороны, главным из которых был разрыв Ордена с противостоявшим Польше великим князем литовским Свидригайлой.

Условия
1. Да будет между королём, его потомством, Королевством Польским, Жигмунтом великим князем литовским, Земовитом, Казимиром, Влодконом (Владиславом) и Болконом (Болеславом) князьями  мазовецкими с одной стороны, а с другой великим магистром Паулем фон Руссдорфом, магистром ливонским Циссе фон Рутенбергом, и магистром германским Эберхардом фон Заунсхаймом, и их союзниками перемирие, долженствуещее длиться 12 лет, починая от будущего Рождества Христова.

2. Представители, назначенные с одной и другой стороны, да съедутся в Слоньске в день Рождества Пресвятой Богородицы [8 сентября] года следующего с целью замены перемирия нынешнего миром вечным.

3. Покуда мир не установится, каждая сторона останется при том, что завоевала во время войны; так что Аренвальд останется у Польши, равно как верховенство [сюзеренитет] над владениями рода Ведель, а Орден сохранит во владении Нешаву и течение Вислы.

4. Все замки, сожжённые поляками, останутся в некоторого рода нейтральности, покуда перемирие продолжаться будет, и не могут быть укреплены ни одной из сторон.

5. Границы между владениями Ордена [с одной стороны] и князей мазовецких, и [князя] столпенского [с другой стороны] да останутся на время перемирия в том состоянии, в котором находились до войны.

В статьях 6 и 7 великий магистр обязался сохранить архиепископу гнезненскому и другим священнослужителям Королевства Польского право пользования владениями в границах Ордена, какими они обладали до войны.

8. Тевтонский орден разрывает соглашения с князем Свидригайлой и обязуется не поддерживать его в дальнейшем. Великий магистр обязуется передать представителям, каковых король пришлёт до Рачёнжа в канун Обрезания Господня [1 января], трактат, заключённый со Свидригайлой, то есть акт, который ему тот князь выдал; король в свою очередь обязуется выдать одновременно послам великого магистра, копию трактата, которую он выдал Свидригайле.

9. Король обязуется склонить великого князя литовского Жигимонта, к сохранению сего перемирия и подтверждению его оригинальным актом, который король передаст великому магистру на будущее Рождество Христово; в свою очередь великий магистр обязался вручить королю в это же время подобный акт со стороны магистра Ливонского.

11 статья посвящена участи преступников, укрывшихся в странах, подписывающих данное перемирие.

12. Ни одна из держав, подписавших перемирие, не должна давать прибежища, равно как и дозволять проезд неприятелям, либо тем, которые хотели бы смуту возбуждать в другой державе.

13. Если бы подданные одной из договаривающихся держав допустили злоупотребления в другом государстве, то перемирие не должно считаться нарушенным; [должен быть] обозначен способ, для предотвращения подобных злоупотреблений.

Статьи с 14 по 17 посвящены обеспечению свободной торговлю и мытным сборам.

18. На время перемирия должен сохраняться мост, сооружённый на реке Дрвенце [Drewentz] в окрестностях Окецета.

19. Предоставляется право выбора великому магистру либо снести плотину у мельницы в Любиче, вместе с указанной мельницей, либо отдавать половину доходов от мельницы королю на время перемирия, при условии, чтобы тот оплатил половину затрат на строительство.

20. Стороны поклялись сохранять договор так верно, что обязывались не слушать ни папы римского, ни императора [Священной Римской империи], ни королей, ни собраний священников, то есть соборов, когда бы те захотели склонить к его разрыву.

21. Король и великий магистр обязались издать письма [указы], в которых не только позволяли, но и прямо приказывали у непослушанию [в случае], если бы они [король и великий магистр] захотели разорвать нынешнее перемирие, заключённое в Ленчице, во вторник после святой Люции, то есть дня 15 декабря года 1433.
