The Senate is threatening to take legal action against two senators who were ordered to return tens of thousands of dollars in living expenses.
Senators Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb were both told to repay money they had claimed to help cover the cost of living in Ottawa while working for the Senate. Mr. Brazeau was given until Friday to return about $49,000 in living expenses, while Mr. Harb was given until July 3 to return close to $232,000.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Brazeau said on Friday that the senator did not plan to repay the money before the deadline.
"We are currently exploring options with experts in government accountability and contract law," Debby Simms wrote in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail. "Additionally, we have reached out to both the Senate Ethics Officer and the Auditor General regarding the Internal Economy Committee's questionable actions toward Senator Brazeau."
Ms. Simms said the senator was following Senate policy at the time he claimed the money for living expenses. She said the committee that examined Mr. Brazeau's expenses changed the terms and conditions of the housing policy after the fact and is attempting to impose a penalty on him retroactively.
Senators whose primary residence is more than 100 kilometers from Parliament Hill are allowed to claim up to $22,000 per year to help cover the costs of staying in the National Capital Region. Mr. Harb and Mr. Brazeau both claimed the money even though external auditors found they spent more time in the Ottawa area than at the locations they had described as their primary residences.
The auditors said the Senate's rules on primary and secondary residences were unclear, but the Senate committee that handled the review disagreed and ordered both senators to repay the money.
The committee also said the Senate would keep the money already returned by Senator Mike Duffy, who repaid about $90,000 in living expenses to the Senate earlier this year after he received a cheque from the Prime Minister's former chief of staff.
Mr. Harb is already fighting the Senate's repayment order in court. He filed an application for judicial review with the Ontario Superior Court earlier this month, asking it to quash the decision that found he should not have claimed expenses for his Ottawa residence.
In a statement released on Friday, Senate spokeswoman Annie Joannette said the Senate would take steps to get the money back. "The Senate will use the legal means at its disposal if the Senator(s) decide to not repay," she wrote in an e-mail, adding, "The Senate will not comment on the legal actions it may take on this matter."
Earlier this year, Senate government leader Marjory LeBreton said the Senate could consider withholding a portion of Mr. Harb's and Mr. Brazeau's wages to recoup the money.
The RCMP is looking into the three Senators' expense claims and has seized documents relating to Senate rules and expense claim information.
An external audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's expenses is continuing and is expected at the end of July.

Q: Run pipenv shell as part of a bash script I created a bash script to scaffold boilerplates for several apps (React, Next.js, django, etc).
In part of my django_install() function, I run the following (reduced here):
mkdir "$app_name"
cd ./"$app_name" || exit 0
gh repo clone <my-repo-boilerplate> .
rm -rf .git
pipenv install
pipenv install --dev
exit 0

I would also like to execute pipenv shell and some commands that need to run inside that virtual environment, as my boilerplate has some custom scripts that I'd like to run to automatise the script completely.
I understand I cannot just run pipenv shell or python manage.py [etc...] in my bash script.
How could I achieve it?

A: I think you can use pipenv run for that. E.g.:
pipenv run python manage.py [etc...]

Which will run python manage.py within the virtual environment created my pipenv.

I came to study at Pittsburgh Seminary with a strong commitment to world mission already, and was eager to get involved with World Mission Initiative. My three WMI trips sharpened my theology and biblical course work and clarified my sense of call in ministry. When I graduated with my MDiv from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 2006, I remember telling Glendora Paul that I would love to have a job like Don Dawson, the program's director! She smiled, patted my arm, and said, "I'll pray for that." So when I was invited to join the staff of WMI later that year, I was confident that God was sending me into this ministry. I am so thankful that WMI sent me as a student, and grateful to have participated in sending many other students into God's mission in these past 10 years!
I am just one testimony out of so many who have been shaped by a WMI trip. WMI is celebrating 20 years of transformational ministry at Pittsburgh Seminary. It was April 15, 1996, that the first mission consultation took place here which established the vision, network, and funding for World Mission Initiative. Mission leaders from the Seminary, local congregations, and the Presbyterian Worldwide Ministries Division gathered to discuss how to ignite participation and commitment to God's global mission from the church. The way became clear to host this innovative program at Pittsburgh Seminary where it could influence future pastors and leaders for the church. This initial meeting planted seeds which grew into WMI's commitments to develop mission vision, nurture missionary vocations, and cultivate missional congregations.
Over the years World Mission Initiative has sent more than 300 Seminary students into faith-stretching and ministry-shaping global mission experiences with more than $350,000 of scholarship support! Initially, WMI sent one or two students on occasion. And now, in partnership with local congregations we are regularly planning four to six different group mission experiences, with more than 50 participants annually. The majority of the students have gone on to lead congregations with a greater global mission vision and commitment. And a significant number of those students have gone into missionary vocations, serving in diverse regions and ministries with long-term commitment.
I invite you to celebrate this milestone year of ministry for WMI by giving a gift to our "Send Me" campaign to raise funds for student travel scholarships. Please consider giving "$20-for-20-years" or whatever amount you are able to contribute towards our $5,000 goal. Your gift is to support Seminary students, who each receive scholarship support up to $1,000 when they are sent on a WMI trip.
I am grateful for the strong financial support WMI has received through these 20 years that have made my mission trip experiences and many others possible! I trust that God will continue to bless us as we develop mission vision, nurture missionary vocations, and cultivate missional congregations.
The Rev. Jennifer Haddox '06 is associate director of the Seminary's World Mission Initiative.
P.S. It's not too late to participate in the WMI Conference, April 8-9, 2016. "Recalibrating the Church for the 21st Century" features Alan Hirsch, a well-respected voice in the missional church conversation. In this anniversary year, we will also include a celebration at the concluding dinner Sat., April 9 at 5:00 p.m. Information and registration is available on our website, or by phone, 412-924-1449. Please come and join us!
Discovering what God is doing in the world is a life-long pursuit, a pursuit that keeps me seeking out how to be faithful in a way that expands my vision far beyond my own small corner of the world and into the larger world that God loves. I discovered that God is bringing hope and a future through Christian community and reforestation in Haiti. I witnessed the power of the gospel to fill the persecuted church in Southeast Asia with so much joy that they have an abundance to share. I have heard the message of profound grace found in Jesus shared by a sister from a Muslim background. In all of these discoveries, I am moved to make different choices about how I use natural resources, how I come near to the persecuted in my prayers, and how I can also share the abundance of joy and grace found in Jesus. My growing global perspective shapes my sense of vocation every day.
Looking for ways to pursue what God is doing in the world? Here are three ways you can explore.
The Rev. Jen Haddox '06, associate director of the World Mission Initiative at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, has lead groups of students around the world to see first hand what God is doing at the far corners of the earth.
The last day we were in the village of Bhirkot, we walked to the home of one of the villagers for a time of fellowship and worship. We met many new people and made our way to the upper level of the home. We took the customary places on mats, on the floor, in a large circle, and began to worship. Pastor Rajendra led the service and hymns were sung in Nepalese and English. The Word was provided by Rebecca. There were also witness stories given. At the conclusion of the service Don Dawson asked if we could pray for those who shared their stories with us. There were four individuals so Karen opened the prayer, and then Brian, Jane, Ben, and I prayed in turn for these people. I prayed for Krishna, his family, and especially for his granddaughter who is crippled. My turn came and with my hand on his shoulder, as I prayed, I could feel Krishna shaking. After Don wrapped up our time of prayer, Krishna lifted his face full of tears.
Almost all Nepalese Christians have received or know someone who received some type of healing through prayer. Because there were only a handful of Christians in Nepal 35 years ago, most Christians are converted Hindus. Most of the conversions are the result of these healings. Their profound belief in the power of prayer and especially Krishna's deep emotional reaction to our prayer for his family and his granddaughter led me to evaluate my own conviction in the power of prayer. Martin Luther wrote that we should always pray expecting an answer to prayer. We shouldn't presume to know what God's answer will be, but to KNOW the prayer is heard and in time will be answered. I continue to pray that I will have the faith that the impossible will be made possible through prayer that our friends in Bhirkot showed us.
Marty Neal is a first year MDiv student at Pittsburgh Seminary. During spring break he travelled with the World Mission Initiative to Nepal.

Q: Can't access my VPC in AWS console for creating my redshift cluster I am trying to launch a Redshift cluster. I have created my own VPC (180.18.16.0/16) with two subnets:
180.18.16.0/20
180.18.0.0/20

These are all in Ohio region. I then try to create a Redshift cluster in the same region. However, when I try to list the VPC, they are being listed but they are disabled and I can not select any VPC either the default or my own one.

What am I doing wrong?

A: You have to browse to the Redshift dashboard and create a Subnet Group that contains the VPC's subnet.

*

*https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2

*Config -> Subnet Group

*Select your subnet to be part of the group.

This caught me out too. I was looking everywhere in the VPC dashboard.

A: you are using public IP address range for your vpc cidr.
usually the below private up address ranges used to create vpc and subnets
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Subnets.html
do you have a subnet cluster group, you need to have it created for you to be able to select the vpc.

U.S. House passes Children's Safety Act legislation
The House of Representatives passed the Children's Safety Act of 2005 on Sept. 14, which will make the registration process for sex offenders stricter and turn what has been a community-based issue into a federal government program.
The legislation, which is currently waiting review in the Senate pending final passage, was sponsored by Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, and included pieces of similar legislation proposed by numerous congressional lawmakers.
Michael Briggs, spokesperson for California Rep. Brad Sherman, D–27th District, where CSUN is located, said the Children's Safety Act of 2005 is primarily targeting issues pertaining to sex offenders. Briggs said the bill has similarities to Megan's Law, a 1996 California law that made information about sex offenders public, but he added that they are separate laws. That information was later put online.
Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed by a child molester who had moved across the street from her family without their knowledge. All states now have some form of Megan's Law or similar legislation that would apply, according to California's Megan's Law website.
Briggs said that according to the Congressional Research Service, the public policy research arm of the U.S. Congress, the Children's Safety Act of 2005 would include new policies and guidelines that a sex offender must follow.
The legislation will establish a pilot program allowing the U.S. Attorney General to administer grants to states for electronic monitoring programs of sex offenders. The electronic monitoring program will use Global Positioning System, or GPS, technology to track sexual predators upon their release from prison. The legislation, as passed by the House, authorizes $30 million for this purpose.
The legislation allows non-compliance with notification law to be considered a federal felony, and will create a national database that will be made available to the public.
According to Briggs, Sherman proposed similar legislation during his first term in the House. As what often happens, Briggs said, Sherman's legislation and behind-the-scenes work with colleagues helped build the consensus that ultimately resulted in the passage of the Children's Safety Act.
According to Christina Villalobos, CSUN police spokesperson, there have been no recent complaints that are related to local sex offenders posing a threat to the public. She added that Anne Glavin, CSUN chief of police, has the discretion to notify the public when a serious or high-risk sex offender moves into or is thought to be in the community.
Vatsana Bilavarn, graduate student in special education, said she is torn about the issue of how to deal with sex offenders, despite not having any children. She said she believes in an individual's right to privacy, but that sex offenders might have lost that right by committing their criminal acts.
"But then, I do believe sex offenders have no more right to privacy," Bilavarn said. "They have lost their opportunity for privacy,"
Bilavarn said that personally the registry and any type of awareness would benefit her since she would be more conscious of her community. She said a problem that might arise with any type of registry is the fact that it might require the use of technology.
She said some people, particularly low-income families who could be targeted by a sex offender, may not be well informed about the registry or even be aware of any changes. She said some people, because of lack of knowledge or because they have no direct access to technology, could be victimized.
Michelle Smith, resident of Van Nuys, has one son in junior high school, one in elementary school, and a daughter in preschool. She said she strongly feels that there is no way to rehabilitate sex offenders.
"I believe that they (sex offenders) should be castrated or even automatically put to death," Smith said.
Smith said the registry or any changes to the registry of sex offenders is a good idea, but future issues such as money or finances could come up.
"I don't want (sex offenders) in my neighborhood and around children," she said. "They can (commit the act) again."
Smith said that as a parent her automatic reaction to a sex offender in her neighborhood would be anger. She said that there is a definite need for a sex offender registry so that community members can be aware that sex offenders are living near them.
"I think there is no way to rehabilitate people who have committed crimes (like this), especially to children."
Jennifer De La Torre, an assistant director for the Associated Students Children's Center, said that in her line of work, fingerprinting is essential.
She said the Children's Center requires all its staff, even if an individual is just an intern or a volunteer, to get fingerprinted and checked out because they deal so closely with children.
De La Torre said the center also requires parents or legal guardians to fill out a form that allows the center to release a child only to an authorized individual.
"A child has to be signed in and out by a guardian," De La Torre said.
De La Torre said she appreciated the system and the registry, but did not comment further on national legislation because she was unfamiliar with it.

When I was there, there was the possibility of using the beach for about 50$ per day (or 4 hours? I don't remember). If I may tell you, I would recommend you not to go to another hotel. PPacificR is the place to feel happy relaxed and welcome - the only good beach- and worth every cent.

Qurdi-Nergal, also spelled Kurdi-Nergal, was a priest of the god Zababa of the cities of Erbil, Harran and Huzirina.  He had a home and library at Huzirina, modern Tel Sultantepe, in Southern Turkey. He is famous for owning an extensive library where incantations, medical texts, prayers, epics, and wisdom literature were found. He began his career in about 701 BC as a junior apprentice scribe but eventually became chief temple administrator of the god Zababa. British excavators discovered 400 scholarly tablets and fragments in 1951, outside what they assume is his house, that were written or owned by Qurdi-Nergal and his descendants. They were protected by wine jars and were lying in a pile against the house's outside wall. The most recent date on the tablets was 619 BC, which was just a few years before the Assyrian empire collapsed and the nearby city of Harran was destroyed (610 BC).

Some scholars believe that the Huzirina tablets are the remains of a scribal school run by Qurdi-Nergal and his descendants. According to the tablets found, other scribes such as Nabu-ah-iddin, his pupil Nabu-rehtu-usur, Sum-tabni-usur, Mutaqqin-Assur, Nabu-sumu-iskun, and at least another 15 junior apprentice scribe wrote or copied texts along with Qurdi-Nergal. The tablets were produced by copying or dictation. This scribal school may have been funded by provincial officials and gives insights into the culture of the time. Most likely young teens worked as scribes hoping to eventually work in the royal court and had aspirations to work their way up in the ranks of imperial governance.  The archaeological finds were probably quickly buried before the Medes and Babylonians destroyed Harran and its surrounding cities.
Qurdi-Nergal had at least one son, Mushallim-Baba, and one great-grandson Ninurta, who lived in 619 BC.

Pine honey is honey of high nutritional value and this is mainly due to the large number of different substances present in its composition. Among these substances are the minerals and trace elements (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc.), which are in high concentrations in Greek pine honey.
Our beekeepers, with the utmost care and attention, are watching and keeping the bee swarms healthy and robust throughout the year so that they can collect the best possible raw material and process it in the hive under the most favorable conditions. Thereafter, the quantities of honey and other products are transferred to standard facilities where, without the removal of ingredients or the addition of extraneous substances, without heat treatment, destroying their natural enzymes, their bacteriostatic property and vitamins, and without further interventions, blended, packaged according to the latest hygiene and safety standards to maintain their natural characteristics, nutritional qualities and excellent quality unaltered. Our honey, in every batch, is subject to rigorous laboratory tests to avoid the presence of antibiotics and other unsuitable substances.
In conclusion, honey as a sweetener has significant advantages over sugar and we owe it to our diet as a substitute for it. So use honey as much as possible and reduce your daily sugar consumption to a minimum. In addition, the fragrances found in the pomegranate of Greek nature can stimulate the senses of the most demanding consumer.
Season: May & from August to October.
Flavor: not very sweet due to low sugar content.
Color: slightly dark, but the autumn is lighter.
Crystallization: Crystallization becomes slow, remains fluid more than a year.
Nutritional value: pine nuts contain minerals & trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc.


RF spectrum is a pervasive requirement for modern military operations. Our reliance upon the electromagnetic spectrum in almost every area of battlefield operation is what drives the strategic importance of Electronic Warfare (EW). The EW domain is a discreet battlefield itself, engaging cyber operations and electromagnetic activities to disrupt, intercept and influence enemy communications and behavior.
Spectrum capacity is a finite resource and shares occupancy with civilian operations which differ from country to country. In active operations, there is a further need to consider allied/grey-forces' own operations which are not under direct control. As such, the ability to manage spectrum reactively is critical to success.
Electromagnetic operations need to deliver an ever-changing picture of active operations, need to react to changing environments and deliver actionable intelligence which can be used to assure spectrum dominance.
The CRFS approach to CEMA (Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities) is to focus on solutions which are agile, collaborative, automated and actionable. Environments and operations change by the second, so our technical solutions need to keep pace. CRFS software solutions deliver automated intelligence using tools such as Machine Learning and are designed to be NAIMS (A.I.) ready.


Red ochre has been used all over Europe for making shades of red since Prehistoric times. This ochre is extracted in the areas of France, Spain and Italy. It was used, among other things, for painting clothes, shields, wood, illuminating manuscripts etc. The color code stands for Red, dark, sedimented, top quality.
Ochre is an earth pigment that has been used in prehistoric cave paintings in Europe. These materials for dyeing were very popular in prehistoric times, and among a.o. the Celts, Germans and in Classical Antiquity. Ochre remained widely used until the 18th century for painting pictures, interiors, clothing and even buildings. The ochre is lightfast, half-covering to well-covering and has a good color ability. This pigment is non-toxic, it is even used as a dye in the food industry. It is advisable to wear a mouth and a nasal mask when preparing the substance. A lot of binder such as linseed oil is required to make oil paint from ocher. That is why the ochre colors quite dark in oil paint.

Unearthed: Bringing Innovation To Mining
Steven Macek April 13, 2015	no comment
(Image via mining.com)
Australia has enjoyed a remarkable economic run over the past two decades. It has been almost 25 years since the country last experienced a recession. This has been due in no small part to the growth enjoyed by China over that same period and it's almost insatiable demand for Australia's mineral resources, such as iron ore (aka the 'mining boom'). It is estimated that the resources industry currently accounts for 9% of Australia's GDP and 48% of its exports. However, in the first decade of this century, productivity in the mining sector decreased by almost a third at a time when disruptive startups in other industries have rapidly innovated to move the needle in the opposite direction.
The scale and capital-intensive nature of modern mining operations would seem to preclude involvement from startup companies. Much of the hype surrounding the current wave of entrepreneurship has focused attention on more glamorous industries, such as social media, finance and travel. Whilst mining has benefited from the adoption of new technologies and operational techniques, it is generally agreed that it could move faster in this regard. The industry's approach to innovation has typically involved large investments, in the hope that dividends are realised 10 or more years later. One group is trying to change that approach, with a view to demonstrating that significant results can be achieved within 12-18 months of an initial investment.
Late last year local mining body Resource Innovation through Information Technology (RIIT) announced the launch of the Unearthed technology accelerator. Based in Perth, Unearthed is backed by some of Australia's largest mining companies, including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. Unearthed is specifically targeting entrepreneurs with ideas for mining-focused startups. Its aim is to bring together some of the region's top software developers, designers and data scientists in a series of hackathons where participants tackle current real world problems faced by mining companies. The accelerator is intended to help form new startup companies and then connect them to industry mentors and customers. Participants can subsequently find themselves invited to join the accelerator and qualify for seed investment, office space and legal advice.
There are four such events scheduled for cities around Australia in 2015. The first of these was held in Perth in late March. The gathering attracted more than 80 participants, who worked in teams to produce 15 prototype solutions in a single weekend! The team that won – 'JBay' – were successful with their innovative approach to using signal processing and analysis to identify promising exploration opportunities in mineral sands.
Unearthed Perth Hackathon March 2015:
The next Unearthed event is scheduled to take place in Brisbane from 15th-17th May, followed later in the year by events in Sydney (September) and Melbourne (November). Over the course of these events, Unearthed expects to expose > 20 existing mining industry problems to 300 innovators. If the 2015 program is successful, it is hoped that in 2016 the accelerator will be able to support up to 10 startups at a time. Each company that is invited to join the accelerator can hope to receive $70,000 in seed funding, in exchange for a 10 percent equity stake.

Also by S. Montana Katz
Contemporary Psychoanalytic Field Theory: Stories, Dreams,...
Metaphor and Fields: Common Ground, Common Language, and...
Field Theory is a powerful and growing paradigm within psychoanalysis, but has previously been split between various schools of thought with little overlap. In this book, a distinguished group of contributors from across all perspectives on Field Theory examine its uniting factors and set out future developments and directions for the paradigm within psychoanalysis. Advances in Psychoanalytic Field Theory represents the work developed for the first international meeting of the International Field Theory Association.
Founded in 2015 to offer a community for those interested in psychoanalytic field theory and promote its understanding and further development, IFTA recognizes all models of psychoanalytic field theory and seeks to foster communication amongst psychoanalysts working in different models, languages and parts of the world. At the first ever meeting of IFTA, an international group of psychoanalysts participated in a roundtable discussion of the different contemporary models of psychoanalytic field theory. Each participant wrote a paper in advance of the meeting, which were all shared among the group beforehand and then discussed together. These feature as the chapters in this volume, whilst a thirteenth member offers a unifying overview of all the papers. Each chapter provides new, contemporary ways of approaching field theory. Key excerpts from the discussion of the meeting are also featured throughout to give a flavour of the collaborative efforts of the participants.
The emphasis of this book is on generating mutual understanding of the different models of field theory, their underlying concepts, and heuristic principles. Drawing on insights from literature, critical theory and philosophy as well as psychoanalysis, this book sets out a program for the future of Field Theory.Advances in Psychoanalytic Field Theory will appeal to psychoanalysts and mental health care practitioners as well as academicians in philosophy, psychology and literature.

Government won't ban fur farms
The Norwegian government has backed away from calls to phase out the country's highly controversial fur industry. Despite repeated cases of animals found badly injured and traumatized, the state agriculture ministry is opting to give fur farmers yet another chance, albeit under stricter rules.
The Norwegian government is proposing that fur farms like this one should still be allowed but will have to operate under stricter rules for how animals are caged. Animal rights activists were not at all pleased, and called the proposal "scandalous" given all the recent examples of horrific injuries to animals. PHOTO: Landbruksdepartementet
Protests were already streaming in, after newspaper Dagbladet reported that the fur farms would not be shut down in advance of Friday's announcement. Animal rights group NOAH called it "scandalous" while industry advocates were upset by the prospect of fewer animals in each cage, claiming that would effectively force the shut-down of many allegedly well-run fur farms.
No one was happy after Agriculture Minister Jon Georg Dale announced a compromise of sorts. Mink, for example, will not be allowed to be caged in groups and there will be new, stricter documentation demands regarding the breeding, monitoring and care of animals raised so they can be skinned for their fur.
"The government recommends that it still be possible to raise animals for their fur in Norway," Dale said, "but we are warning there will be a string of tighter new rules for how animals are held. This is on the assumption that animal welfare becomes considerably better. The proposal in the report to the Parliament addresses that."
There will be a prohibition, for example, against holding two or more animals of the same sex in the same cage, to prevent them from attacking each other. The new rules also sharpen requirements for breeding, feeding and better stimulus for the caged animals, and continue to make state inspections of fur farms a priority.
Addressing the 'challenges'
Dale's announcement followed up on a report commissioned to determine the future of Norway's fur industry. At stake was whether it could be subject to sustainable development or a managed phase-out. A majority of commission members advised sustainable development but under stricter regulation aimed at addressing "the challenges tied to animal welfare."
The industry has been running a promotional campaign recently aimed at warding off a shut-down, featuring full-page ads in Norwegian newspapers showing fur farmers holding healthy-looking animals outside tidy buildings with cages. State inspectors, however, have reported multiple cases of severe animal neglect and horrific injuries among animals, many of them self-inflicted or caused by caged animals attacking each other.
Dale himself described the latest reports, accompanied by graphic photos of animals with ears and tails chewed off, as "gruesome." He also was handed a petition from NOAH containing no less than 143,000 signatures of people opposed to the fur industry. Several Members of Parliament, also from government parties, have come out in favour of closing down fur farms.
Turning to Parliament for a ban
Siri Martinsen, a veterinarian who leads NOAH, called the government proposal to continue allowing fur farms "scandalous" and claimed it defied professional advice. Her group is organizing more demonstrations against fur farming to be held on November 12 in 26 locations around the country.
The animal rights activists and the fur industry will now lobby Parliament to try to swing a final vote on the matter their way. "It's the Parliament that will now have responsibility for making sure Norwegian animal welfare laws are followed," Martinsen said, adding they won't be if any animals are still allowed to be held in cages.
One of the government's own support parties, the Liberals, has called for phasing out the industry and will likely vote against the ministry's new proposal. Its lack of support, however, can be replaced by the farmer-friendly and rural-oriented Center Party. It normally criticizes the conservative government coalition but will likely welcome its position in this case regarding an industry that generates a livelihood for people living in outlying districts. The Christian Democrats, the government's other support party, also voted against the Liberals' proposal to phase out the industry, along with the government coalition's own Conservative and Progress parties.

The 210th Rescue Squadron (210 RQS) is a unit of the Alaska Air National Guard 176th Wing located at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Anchorage, Alaska. The 210th is equipped with the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter.

Mission
The wartime mission of the 210th is combat search and rescue to locate and recover downed fighter pilots. The day-to day mission is to perform an 11AF 24-hour Alaska Theater Search and Rescue Alert. A by-product of the two missions is civilian search and rescue. The 210th is one of the busiest Air Force combat search and rescue squadrons in the world. with an average of one search and rescue mission a week in addition to regular training and mission.  To date, the 210th has launched on over 500 missions resulting in over 300 lives saved and over 100 lives assisted. The 210th Rescue Squadron passed its 310th rescue in 1996.

History

10th Air Rescue Squadron
Nicknamed "The Second 10th", the 210th RQS has been bestowed the Lineage and Honors history of the 10th Air Rescue Squadron (ARS), an active duty squadron organized at Elmendorf Field in 1946 and mostly manned by Alaskans. The 10th had itself inherited the tradition of the 924th Quartermaster Company, Boat (Aviation), a rescue unit which was constituted in Alaska on 14 June 1942, saw action during the Aleutian Island Campaign, was redesigned the 10th Emergency Rescue Boat Squadron on 3 July 1944, and was inactivated on 8 March 1946.   During the late 1940s and early 1950s, the 10th ARS operated detachments at Elmendorf AFB, Ladd AFB and Naval Air Station Adak.  The squadron operated a mixture of OA-10s, OA-12s, SB-17 Flying Fortress, C-45s, L-5s, LC-126As, R-5 Helicopters and CG-4 Gliders.

10th Air Rescue Group

Expanded into the 10th Air Rescue Group on 14 November 1952, the Alaska Air Command unit expanded its detachments into squadrons.  This resulted in the assignments of the 71st and 72d Air Rescue Squadrons to Elmendorf AFB; the 73d Air Rescue Squadron to Adak Naval Station, and the 74th Air Rescue Squadron to Ladd AFB.   The 72d and 73d were inactivated in September and November 1953 in response to the withdrawal of Air Force units from the Aleutian Islands.

During this period, the 10th ARG became widely known as "The Guardian of the North" and provided support not only to the military but also to the civilian communities.  The group established a pattern that would be followed in the years ahead.   A rescue coordination center was maintained at Elmendorf AFB 24/7/365 to coordinate search-and-rescue activities, which included any support given by civilian agencies throughout the territory of Alaska.

The 10th's responsibility were threefold: search, aid and rescue.  The search function was performed by specially equipped aircraft and ground vehicles, as well as dog teams which were used occasionally.  Aid was rendered by highly trained paramedics, who were capable of para-rescuing to the rescue scene if necessary.  Rescue was carried out by several means, including the use of helicopters, amphibious and conventional aircraft, and surface vehicles.  The unit also provided support to the Alaskan Air Command's air defense system.

In 1957, with the steady decline of Alaskan Air Command forces, Headquarters, USAF, questioned the need to continue the group, particularly in the face of budget reductions and the contemplated reduction of search-and-rescue forces worldwide.  The 10th Air Rescue Group was inactivated on 8 January 1958 and the 71st ARS was inactivated 18 March 1960.  However, the rescue coordination center at Elmendorf was retained and officially designated the Alaskan Command Rescue Coordination Center.

During the 1960s search-and-rescue activities were assigned to the 17th Coast Guard District for offshore and close-to-shore operations.  The Alaskan Air Command was assigned everywhere else

The 71st ARS, however, was re-designated as the 71st Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron on 25 Nov 1969 and re-activated on 8 March 1970. After re-activation, the 71st served Alaska proudly during the 1970s and 1980s including the rescue of 74 people from the sinking cruiseship MS Prinsendam in the Gulf of Alaska on 4 October 1980.

Modern era

In 1987, the Air Force announced the 71st would again be inactivated. However, the tradition of Arctic search and rescue would continue; Alaska Senator Ted Stevens introduced legislation creating a new search and rescue unit for the Alaska Air National Guard. The 210th ARS received federal recognition from the National Guard Bureau on 4 April 1990 and the unit activation ceremony was held at Kulis Air National Guard Base on 11 August 1990. The 210th took delivery of its new Sikorsky HH-60 "Pave Hawk" search and rescue helicopters between June and August 1990 and new Lockheed HC-130 search/tanker aircraft in November and December 1990. The unit achieved initial operational capability faster than the normal Air Force programming process normally allows.

The 210th began sharing the 24 hour Alaska Theater overland helicopter Search and Rescue alert with the inactivating 71st ARS on 1 January 1991 and assumed the entire helicopter alert on 1 April 1991. The HC-130 began daytime alert in April 1991 and assumed 24 hour alert in May 1991. The 71st ARS inactivated on 30 June 1991. (Subsequently, the 71st ARS has been re-activated as an active Air Force unit at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida). In January 1992, the 210th achieved combat-ready status. In 1993, additional aircraft were added to the squadron inventory. On 1 January 1994, Detachment 1, 210th RQS was activated at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, to perform search and rescue for Eielson-based fighters and to perform logistical range support for the northern military ranges. In early 1995, more new HH-60 aircraft joined the 210th and the original HH-60s were transferred to other units. In 1996, the squadron received new HC-130 aircraft and transferred its original HC-130s to another unit. The 210th possesses state-of-the-art "force multipliers". Its Pararescue officers and men are all highly trained in all manner of combat insertion and recovery, including SCUBA and military freefall parachute; all the men are Paramedics and even the officers are Emergency Medical Technicians.

On  8 October 2004 by the Air Force Special Operations Command re-organized Air National Guard rescue units and created separate squadrons for fixed-wing, helicopter and pararescue elements of the 210th Rescue Squadron.  The HH-60 helicopter flight became 210th Rescue Squadron; the HC-130(H)N Hercules flight became the 211th Rescue Squadron, and the pararescue flight became the 212th Rescue Squadron.

Firebug II
It was a quite evening, there were no incidents among the support house residents, with the exception of Denver, who was making a nuisance of himself.
During the last couple of weeks, Denver has been smoking an abundance of the inferior synthetic marijuana, K-2, and one of the side effects is the tendency to be restless and paranoid. In general Denver is a restless person, who have a short fuse, and is in conflict with most people he interacts with.
The K-2 effects are amplifying his annoying personality traits, coupled with the K-2 side effects. Now he is involved with every elicit user in the building, those who sell drugs and is one of the main perpetrators that engage in the repeated sexual exploitation and robbing of Tanya.
It is Ironic, that Denver was supposed to be in the detoxification stage in an resident drug re-habilitation (rehab) program. He had to go there as an ultimatum to being in violation of the support house regulations. He showed up to the rehab on Wednesday, but by Friday he was kicked out because of aggressive behavior. Now he is a headache to staff, until they can find another program willing to accept him.
In the interim; part of today's support house activities is to conduct a fire drill. It was a modified drill, residents didn't need to go outside into the cold. The drill was conducted and most of the residents complied and participated without problems.
It was mid evening when Supervisor Penelope finally wrapped up things. She said, "finally, I can get to go home." When she left, everything was in order. But, Counselor Jose heard Counselor May, call his name frantically.
When Counselor Jose came out of the Med room to find out what was happening, Denver met him at the office door. Denver said, "Jose, there is a fire in my room." Denver said it in a nonchalant manner, that Jose thought he was bullshitting.
Jose said, "what!" Denver repeated himself, and said, "I've a fire in my room." Jose pulled the fire extinguisher from the wall, and said to Denver, come on let's see what's up. "But, as Jose ascended he remembered that he forgot the master key in the med room , he told Denver that he need him to unlock the door once he determine it was safe to open the door.
Once outside the room, as Jose was feeling the door to see if it was warm; Jose was relived that the door wasn't warm because it tells him that the room isn't engulfed in flames. It was determined that it was relatively safe to open it; before he could tell Denver to unlock the door, Denver attempted to run away.
Jose said to Denver, "hey! where the fuck you are going! Get your ass over here and open the fucking door!"
Denver did as he was told, and unlocked the room's door, then Jose pushed the door open with his foot.
The inside of the room was dark, the light blacked out by thick black and grey smoke. Jose stepped in the room, but due to the poor visibility, Jose could not readily identify the source of the fire. Jose saw a constant light what appeared to be the fire. Jose trained the fire extinguisher where he saw the light. The extinguisher engulfed the light, but the light failed to go out. He repeatedly engulfed the light, but it just wouldn't go out. Jose saw that black smoke continued to generate; and the room was becoming darker and darker. Jose saw that it was hopeless and decided to exit the room before he is overcome with smoke halation.
It was a good thing that Jose had his COVID 19 prevention mask on; ironically, the mask served as a filter preventing Jose from inhaling the smoke, allowing him the few minutes that was needed to attempt to put out the fire.
Jose stepped out of the room, made sure that the door was shut, he ran down the stairs to call the Fire Department for assistance.
When Jose entered the Med room, he was out of breath, he picked up the phone and called 911. The 911 operator asked what emergency assistance was requested.
Jose, still short of breath managed to say "Fire department…" The operator asked the first of the questions that she was required to ask. Suddenly, the fire alarm sounded, then the operator said, "oh, I hear the fire alarm!" There was no need for her to ask any questions after she acknowledged that the fire alarm is asounding; she just said that the Fire Department is on the way.
Jose was relived to hear that and removed the mask from his face; Jose saw that he outside of the mask was black; he said to himself, "wow, it's a good thing I had on this mask, it caught the black stuff that would have entered my lungs."
As the fire alarm sounded, the sprinkler system in Denver's room was activated, and water gushed from the sprinklers, raining down and leaking through the walls, and seeping down wetting up the lobby, at the same time, some of the residents started to respond to the fire alarm as they were trained to do.
It took the Fire Department, less than five minutes to arrive; Firemen started to invade the building. Jose took the Firemen up to Denver's unit; but both Jose, and the Firemen were slowed down by residents coming down the stairs.
Residents coming down the stairs, and Firemen going up the stairs kind of created a sort of organized chaos. Until finally, a Fireman with authority asked if there is another staircase. Jose, pointed out the staircase, and the Fireman started to use it, making their up and down movements un-hindered.
During that time, the support house Supervisor returned; when Jose saw her, in jest, he said, "what happened, was you stood up by your date. The small joke briefly broke the stress of the event.
The Supervisor said, that she returned because when she was crossing the street to go into the subway, she heard the building's fire alarm. Jose, said "you mean you heard the alarm over five blocks away." The Supervisor said, "yes." "We better call the Director and tell her what is happening."
In the meantime, Denver was running around apologizing for starting the fire; even asking Jose, what will the consequences of his action. Will he be allowed to stay in the support house program? Jose suspects that Denver is not really apologizing, he is patronizing because he doesn't want to be arrested and sent to the Psych Ward. It will be weeks before the Psych Ward will release him; that is if they find that the fire wasn't intentionally done. If it was intentionally done, Denver would be referred to the Police department and put through the process of spending time in prison for arson.
Jose said, look, Denver, you've been here for a while, and you've seen what happened to everyone that started some sort of fire. Now, think about it, do you see anyone who started a fire continue to stay here. You know that they all got kicked out.
Some of the residents were pissed, they were questioning why Denver wasn't kicked out, he is always involved in some type of incident. This time, it could destroy the building making everyone homeless. Some were even contemplating to whip his ass.
The Supervisor, and the Director were both on the same sheet of music; they wanted Denver out. They came up with a plan to do it.
First, they are going to call Police, and have them send Denver to the Psych Ward for a mental health evaluation. Once Denver is physically out of the support house, he won't be allowed back in. Meanwhile, the administrative work will be done to formally discharge him from the program.
The plan was implemented, the Cops came and forced Denver to go to the Psych Ward emergency room. The Psych Ward only held Denver for two days before releasing him. After that Denver had to go directly to a shelter because he was not allowed back into the support house building. 30 days later. Denver was discharged from the support house program.

Η Aston Martin Vulcan θα κάνει δύο γύρους στον 24ωρο αγώνα του Spa
24 Ιουλίου 2015, 11:25
Η Aston Martin ανακοίνωσε πως στον 24-ωρο αγώνα του Spa, μια Vulcan με οδηγό τον Darren Turner θα σημειώσει δύο γύρους στη διάσημη βελγική πίστα. Στόχος της Aston Martin είναι να δείξει στον κόσμο τις δυνατότητες που έχει το απόλυτο track-day car της.
Να θυμίσω πως έχει κατασκευαστεί πάνω σε ένα carbon monocoque σασί και κίνηση παίρνει από έναν ατμοσφαιρικό V12 κινητήρα 7.0-λίτρων απόδοσης 800+ ίππων που συνδυάζεται με ένα 6-τάχυτο σειριακό κιβώτιο. Τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα τα κάνει σε λιγότερο από 3 δευτερόλεπτα, έχοντας τελική της ταχύτητα μεγαλύτερη των 320 χλμ/ώρα.
ASTON MARTIN VULCAN TO RUN AT SPA 24 HOURS
23 July, Gaydon – The highly-anticipated Aston Martin Vulcan will attend the showpiece of the Blancpain Endurance Series, the TOTAL 24 Hours of Spa, this weekend (25 July) and will demonstrate its abilities as the ultimate track-only machine as it completes two flying laps of the world-famous circuit.
With its 800-plus bhp powertrain developed in conjunction with Aston Martin Racing, the 7.0-litre V12 Aston Martin Vulcan will be driven by works driver Darren Turner (GB), who has been involved in the design and development of the car from its inception. Turner has more than 20 years experience in developing racing cars and relished the opportunity to put this track-knowledge into Aston Martin's most extreme sportscar.
"It's been amazing to have been involved in this project from the beginning," said Turner. "From the conceptual sketches through to working with the designers on driver ergonomics, it is a fascinating process to be part of.
"It was very early days for the car when we first ran it at Goodwood Festival of Speed, but we certainly made a good impression and now we get to show the car in its most natural environment. I'm looking forward to our laps prior to the race and then being able to watch one of the best 24-hour events on the calendar."
In the 24 Hours of Spa, two of the top Aston Martin Racing customer teams will contest the PRO-AM class with their V12 Vantage GT3s.
Leonard Motorsport AMR will field Stefan Mücke (DE), Stuart Leonard (GB), Michael Meadows (GB) and Tom Onslow-Cole (GB) and Oman Racing by Motorbase will race with its regular Blancpain Endurance Series line-up of Jonny Adam (GB), Ahmad Al Harthy (OM) and Dan Lloyd (GB), as well as welcoming Aston Martin Evolution Academy driver Jonathan Venter (AU) to the team.
"At Leonard Motorsport we have a very strong driver line-up and a good chance of a podium in the PRO-AM class," commented Mücke. "I've had pole with the V12 Vantage GT3 here a couple of years ago and I'll be aiming for the same again this year to give us the best chance of staying out of trouble at the start – in this event we are wheel-to-wheel racing from start to finish."
Also returning to the 24 Hours of Spa is Scotsman Adam, who took British GT Championship victory at Spa just a fortnight ago in the Beechdean AMR V12 Vantage GT3. "Although I've had pole positions and wins at Spa previously, I've never qualified in this event before, so I'm looking forward to that new challenge. The top 20 shoot-out is exciting – it really is a list of the top GT drivers in the world so the competition is fierce. The V12 Vantage GT3 is 'tried-and-tested' and that gives you a lot of confidence going into a 24-hour race like this."
The V12 Vantage GT3 has already had great success in long-distance endurance racing around the world this season, with podiums at Dubai 24 Hours, Bathurst 12 Hours and Daytona 24 Hours, and Team Principal John Gaw is hoping to get a similar result in Europe's largest event.
"We have some of the top teams in GT racing running V12 Vantage GT3s," Gaw commented. "And, they are having great success in some of the toughest endurance challenges around the world. Both Leonard Motorsport and Oman Racing by Motorbase are capable of getting a class podium finish at the 24 Hours of Spa and we are looking forward to supporting them."
The 24 Hours of Spa starts at 1630hrs on Saturday 25 July and fans can watch live on the Blancpain Endurance Series YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/GTworld
The Aston Martin Vulcan laps will take place on Saturday 25 July at 1410hrs.

I've been slowly organizing our kitchen. So far, I have shared with you how I built a silverware organizer for less than $2 as well as how I organized my spices.
Today I want to share another drawer organizer with you... my spoons and spatula drawer. I know that a lot of people keep their large spoons and spatulas in a container on the counter, however, I can't stand having things cluttering up my counter tops.
Here is were I used to keep my spoons and spatulas. However, this drawer now contains my spices. I moved the spoons and spatulas to the other side of the stove into a larger drawer.
I was even able to fit a few more kitchen gadgets in the drawer.

The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales By Edited by Alison Lurie
The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales
by Edited by Alison Lurie
An anthology of literary fairy tales by British and American writers from the 1830s to the present day. The authors address an adult audience even though some of the tales were originally for children. They range from funny and charming to rather disturbing ("The New Mother", Lucy Lane Clifford).
The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales Summary
Most readers associate fairy tales with the work of Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers, collectors of those traditional and much-loved folk tales retold to each new generation of children. The literary fairy tale, which drew upon this oral tradition but was deliberately composed and written down, developed in the 19th century and has evolved to include some of the best and most original writers of the present day. In "The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales" Alison Lurie has brought together 41 stories by British and American authors representing the full range of a continually developing genre. This collection has plenty of magic encounters, dragons, witches, and forlorn princesses. Early writers such as Catherine Sinclair, Juliana Horatia Ewing, and Howard Pyle used these conventions to point a moral lesson; later these same elements are subverted to extraordinary effect in tales such as Richard Kennedy's "The Porcelain Man" or Jeanne Desy's "The Princess Who Stood on Her Own Two Feet". The characteristic style and world view, the romantic spirituality or satiric humour of the individual writers colour and shape their tales. From Ruskin, MacDonald, and Dickens through Wilde, Housman and Nesbit the foundations are laid for the explosion of original stories in the 20th century, by writers and diverse as Bernard Malamud, Donald Barthelme, Angela Carter, Ursula Le Guin, and Louise Erdrich.

Puzzlement in Ethiopia as Trump claims hand in Nobel prize

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Video of U.S. President Donald Trump saying he had a hand in the latest Nobel Peace Prize has gone viral in Ethiopia after Trump asserted that he had "made a deal" to save the country.
The comments during a rally in the U.S. on Thursday don't mention the East African country by name, but Trump says: "I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. … Did I have something to do with it? Yeah. But that's the way it is."
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed accepted the prize in December for making peace with longtime rival Eritrea and other reforms. Abiy's office did not comment Friday.
Trump almost never comments on Africa, and some critics have said his administration has neglected African issues.
Many Ethiopians were puzzled by Trump's remarks. Some said his talk of a deal must have referred to the new peace with Eritrea.

But one senior Ethiopian official told The Associated Press the remarks referred to preventing further tensions between Ethiopia and Egypt over a massive dam that Ethiopia is completing on the Nile river. Egypt says the dam threatens its water supply. Ethiopia says it's needed for development.
Ministers from the countries, plus Sudan, are expected to meet in Washington on Monday to report on the failure of their latest round of talks.
"He was talking about Egypt and Ethiopia," the official with Ethiopia's foreign ministry said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media on the matter.
The official asserted that Egypt's president lobbied Trump over the disputed dam project, leading to the U.S. taking a role in the discussions.
"President Trump really believes he avoided a war as such … but that was not the case," the official said.

Q: Multiple Text String Modifications in R I have multiple strings stored in an atomic vector:
v <- c("The kat ran up the tree", "The dogg ran up the tree", "The squirrrel run up the tree")

I would like to correct the spelling errors:
v <- gsub('kat', 'cat', v)
v <- gsub('dogg', 'dog', v)
v <- gsub('squirrel', 'squirrrel', v)

However I don't like the repetitive code.  Is there some way to do the equivalent of this:
v1 <- c('kat', 'dogg', 'squirrrel')
v2 <- c('cat', 'dog', 'squirrel')

v <- gsub(v1, v2, v)

A: Easiest option is str_replace_all and pass a named vector or list
library(stringr)
str_replace_all(v, setNames(v2, v1))

-output
#[1] "The cat ran up the tree"
#[2] "The dog ran up the tree"
#[3]    "The squirrel run up the tree"
