Why was CNN in Palmerston North? Methane!
It's a rare event that brings a CNN news crew to New Zealand – an America's Cup campaign or a Lord of the Rings launch usually.
Or in this case a disrupted flight schedule which prevented the crew from heading to its intended destination – Chile. So the newly formed Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre was lucky enough to have CNN reporter Dan Rivers and crew present for its big launch in Palmerston North today.
The presence of the global news broadcaster was quite appropriate given that the centre's work will feed into international efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The Global Research Alliance launched at Copenhagen was, said Prime Minister John Key today at the launch, one of the few highlights of the COP15 conference with 20 countries signing up to work together on agricultural emissions.
New Zealand has pledged $45 million towards the initiative and research programmes coordinated through the AGGRC will be one of the key New Zealand contributions to the alliance.
Interestingly, John Key reiterated today that technological breakthroughs that the Global Research Alliance might come up with will be given to developing countries so they too can take advantage of them.
The AGGRC is headed by Dr Harry Clark, formerly an Agresearch scientist who will coordinate research programmes with partners that include Agresearch, DairyNZ, Landcare Research, Lincoln University, Massey University, NIWA, Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium, Plant & Food Research and Scion.
Harry Clark has had to move fast to pull the centre together – the sods of grass outside the centre's modest head office on the Massey campus were laid just last week. Effectively, all the research will be done in the labs it is currently carried out in around the country. What will be important is the additional funding available for research – $5 million of direct government funding each year for the next 10 years. No details of what projects will be funded have yet been released, but you can expect some of the projects outlined here will be getting a funding top-up.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Murray State's Ja Morant and Marquette's Markus Howard have much in common: Point guards, prolific scorers, conference players of the year, All-America contenders. And, apparently, promptness.
''We were the first two people to show up to a meeting,'' Howard said. He broke the ice and the two have kept in touch ever since, trying as best as they can to follow each other's spectacular seasons.
''Coming from being overlooked in high school, and not receiving that much attention, there was time I questioned myself: Was I good enough?'' Morant said.
''I knew he was special when I saw him at the camp,'' Howard said.

Hungarian GP: Serbian rival in singles
06/07/2013 – On Saturday afternoon the singles draw was made for the 235 000 USD Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest Timi's opponent will be the 20-year-old Alexandra Krunic.
On Sunday afternoon it was revealed that in doubles Timi and Alicja Rosolska will meet Sandra Klemenschits and Andreja Klepac.
The Hungarian player is 99th, while the Serbian youngster is 136 ranked.
Timi last year lost in the first round in singles against the Taiwanese Hsieh Su Wei, in doubles she couldn't enter the field. This year she will feature in singles and in doubles with the Polish Alicja Rosolska. Timi's first match is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
The 20-year-old Hungarian tennis player had her first game on the WTA our back in 2010 at the Római Teniszakadémia.
"Uplifting that I played my first main draw match at WTA Tour in Budapest. This is an unforgettable moment for me! I just like playing at home, throw up your thoughts now. I really enjoy the crowd anyway. But when I hear of Hungarian words, the extra energy is coming"– Timi said.
The 20-year-old Hungarian player does not set out a concrete plan for the result from the Hungarian GP.
"I want to play well, and it's sure I will try everything for success."
Krunic was born in 15.03.1993., her career best position was 132. The Serbian player was born in Moscow, she didn't advance for the main draw in adults Grand Slam tournaments. She won six ITF-events in singles.
Alexandra Krunic was a quarter-finalist in January in the 25 000 USD tournament in France, and she tried to advance to the main draw in two WTA tournaments, but she was unsuccessful in Bogotá and Acapulco. Later she won the 25 000 USD event in Irapuato, she won the final 7:6, 6:4 against Olga Savchuk. Then Krunic reached the last eight on clay in Wiesbaden (25 000 USD), and was a finalist in Trnava (USD 75 000). In the Czech Republic she has surpassed the No 1 seed Jana Cepelova, then Daria Gavrilova and Tereza Mrdeza. In early June Krunic was a quarter-finalist in Brescia (25 000 USD).
In February Timi and Mandy Minella defeated Jelena Jankovic and Alexandra Krunic in the doubles semifinal of the Bogotá tournament.
The 30-year-old Austrian player is 97th ranked in doubles, her career best was 80th back in 31.10.2011. During her career Klemenschits lost two WTA Tour finals in this genre. It is noteworthy that she won a total of 39 ITF tournaments (!) in doubles, most recently just celebrated with Klepac in Marseille a few weeks ago. In Wimbledon Klemenschits and Romina Oprandi reached the second round, in the first match they won against of Katalin Marosi, Catalina Castano.
The 27-year old Klepac is 96th ranked in doubles. Her career best was 54th in 04.02.2012. She won 13 ITF doubles tournament. This season before the Marseilles success was a finalist in Maribor (Co: Marta Domachowska), she reached the last eight in Nuremberg (Co: Klemenschits), Brussels (Co: Klemenschits), Marrakech (Co: Klemenschits) and Pattaya City (Co: Nina Bratchikova).
Timi is 68th, while Rosolska 45th ranked in doubles.

Q: How to propagate .java file change to .class under eclipse, tomcat & stripes i'm new to java and i got some problems. i'm developping a web application using the framework stripes on tomcat 6.0.
I'm working with eclipse EE on windows. i successfully managed to get the stripes example application (called Bugzooky) up and running on my tomcat server. I imported the .war file and stripes libs in Eclipse.
Here is the stripes archive containing the examples and libs

But now i'm trying to change the example source files to learn how does it work. but whatever the modification made to the source files "WebContent/WEB-INF/src/*.java", nothing change! even after restarting the server. i noticed that the classes are compiled into .class files in the "ImportedClasses" folder, and tomcat always use these files, they are never updated, and if i removed one of them, the application just don't start. it look like my source files don't exists!

I also tried to build my webapp from scratch, but when i tried to use the features used in the example files (like SecurityFilter.java):
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import ...

It ends up with plenty of:
the import javax.servlet.Filter cannot be resolved

I checked the Librairies and it look like i'm using exactly the same as the example.

It's probably something i didn't understood about java but i googled 100 times yesterday, and i can't find the solution (i probably didn't search the right place because i don't really understand my problem).
I hope you'll be able to help me.

A: I'm not sure about the first problem. With regard to the problem when creating a new project:

the import javax.servlet.Filter cannot be resolved

This means that the web project in Eclipse is not associated with an application server. If this is done correctly, then Eclipse will automatically include the server's libraries (the server is actually a concrete implementation of under each the Servlet API) in the project's buildpath.
Did you integrate Tomcat in Eclipse? You can add servers in the Servers view at the right bottom box. Did you associate the web project with the particular Tomcat instance? You need to select the server in the Targeted Runtimes section of the project's Properties. This is by the way normally to be done during creating the Dynamic Web Project.

A: You need to recompile all the changed .java files, rebuild the .war file and redeploy it to Tomcat. This is most easily done with an Ant build script. Look for a file called build.xml. If it is there install Ant if you don't already have it installed and you can then just execute the ant command in the directory with the build.xml file and then copy the resulting .war file over the existing one in Tomcat. This is all basic Java App server work flow stuff.

Pulling Together
How U of T handled a semester like no other
December 14, 2020 | By Megan Easton
Shirley Liu got her lab work done in half the time this fall compared with last year. The second-year biology student at U of T Mississauga had no travel time and minimal prep because she worked from her residence room, moving an avatar around a virtual laboratory.
"You log in and get started – clicking on the pipettes, transferring solutions to beakers, and so on," says Liu. "It's really efficient." Shifting from in-person labs to simulations was just one of the many pandemic-driven changes she experienced since starting classes in September. And she's not alone: 90 per cent of undergraduate students took all of their courses online this past fall.
When the lockdown forced teaching to go digital in March, U of T had about 150 fully online courses. "Within a few days, that number went to more than 6,000," says Susan McCahan, the vice-provost of academic programs and of innovations in undergraduate education. She jokes that when she started in her innovations role back in 2015 she never imagined having to help transform undergraduate education for 70,000 students across three campuses almost overnight. It was a massive undertaking, made even more challenging by the fact that there was so little time to prepare. For many professors, those spring weeks were their first forays into fully virtual teaching.
"Everyone did their best, but we knew we wanted to do better in the fall," says McCahan. Led by the dual priorities of maintaining academic excellence and ensuring the health and safety of its community members – wherever they are – the university used the summer to get faculty members up to speed on online teaching. This included investing in new technology, such as an institution-wide license for Zoom, hiring more educational technologists – there are now more than 100 – and offering workshops and one-on-one consultations for instructors on designing and teaching virtual courses. "We set up a global calendar of all the online teaching resources available across the university and revised it daily," says McCahan.
"Zoom by the Lake," a sort of summer boot camp for online course design run through U of T Mississauga's Teaching and Learning Collaboration, was just one of those resources. Fiona Rawle, the associate dean of undergraduate education at U of T Mississauga who helped lead the camp, says she was also learning alongside the attendees. "I was doing a lot of reading on online teaching, as were many of my colleagues. We all shared information and provided feedback on each other's course plans." Mairi Cowan, an associate professor, teaching stream, in the department of historical studies at U of T Mississauga, was one of the "campers." She says the program gave faculty a good sense of what it's like to take an online course. "I came out with a deeper level of compassion for students, who are also brand new to all this," she says.
The small fraction of undergraduate teaching that had an in-person component this past fall was mostly in courses that required hands-on learning, says McCahan. To ensure the physical infrastructure on the three campuses met or exceeded public health and safety guidelines, 800 U of T staff deemed essential workers spent the summer upgrading ventilation, installing Plexiglas barriers, adding signage and removing furniture to allow for physical distancing in all learning spaces. "Regulations were constantly changing and there was no blueprint for us to follow," says Ron Saporta, chief operating officer for property services and sustainability at St. George. "We just tackled one building at a time across the 211 we have."
In residences, an additional safety measure was making every room a single. Hamza Bin Waheed, a second-year commerce student from Pakistan and the president of the U of T Mississauga Residence Council, says he wanted to return to residence even though all his classes were virtual. "I was hoping to get as much out of the student experience as I could." For all international students who, like Waheed, had to quarantine upon arrival in Canada, the university provided a private room with a washroom at a hotel or U of T Mississauga residence, as well as meal delivery and daily check-ins for health and well-being. By October, nearly 900 international students had completed their quarantine. "We did everything we could to make their transition as safe and comfortable as possible," says Sandy Welsh, vice-provost for students.
With the vast majority of students staying at home or in residence and relying on technology to connect to their professors and classmates, there were inevitable challenges, but also some perks. "I'm saving so much time not having to go out to class and am finding it easier to access virtual office hours," says Liu. "Of course, sometimes my profs have technical difficulties, like blurry screens or bad audio, but they fix them quickly. The downside is trying not to zone out when I'm staring at a screen for hours."

Waheed says he also struggles with Zoom fatigue. "It sucks the energy out of me, especially combined with the information overload coming at students these days. Every single communication is virtual." But he also sees some advantages. "It's great when professors pre-record their lectures because I can watch when it's convenient and take notes at my own pace." He empathizes with his fellow international students who stayed in their home countries and are dealing with poor internet service and different time zones. "I mentor a student from Kazakhstan who has extremely slow internet and is 10 hours ahead," he says. "Imagine how frustrating that would be."
These access and equity issues add a layer of complexity for professors, says McCahan. Many try to hold live lectures in the morning to avoid middle-of-the-night viewing for the students in time zones that are up to 12 hours ahead. There is also the fact that YouTube and Google are banned in China, so students can't view course videos on these platforms. To solve this problem and offer students some consistency, U of T recommends that instructors use one of three platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Quercus, U of T's online teaching and learning system. For local students who lack adequate technology, internet service or a quiet environment, libraries and study spaces with Wi-Fi are open across all three campuses.
"We're struggling through, and there isn't always a perfect solution," says McCahan. "There hasn't been a mass market to drive the development of educational technology until now, and it's not where we'd like it to be for 2020. The result is that it can feel a bit like you're trying to stitch together pieces of technology to create what should be a seamless environment for your students, and it doesn't always come across this way. Our move to online education is a work in progress. We're constantly refining our approach based on student and faculty input."
It's great when professors pre-record their lectures because I can watch when it's convenient and take notes at my own pace"
— Hamza Bin Waheed, U of T commerce student
Rawle, who taught first-year biology to almost 900 students this fall, is always looking for ways to use the available technology to simplify the experience for her students. She used captions during her lectures, for example, and has a streamlined course home page with only nine icons linking to readings, a weekly to-do list and other essentials. "Students are inundated with information," she says, "so I make things as straightforward as possible."
Like many professors, Mairi Cowan has opted for a balance of live and recorded teaching in her large first-year history course. "I pre-record my weekly lecture as four or five short parts interspersed with activities, such as watching a video or exploring a related website," she says. "Then we get together online later in the week so students can ask questions and discuss the material, as we would in person." For her small, upper-year seminar class, she tries to reproduce the in-class experience. "It's hard to replicate the alchemy of being together," she says. "I realized there's an art to looking around at students and gauging when they have something to say. I can't do that online, so I've created different ways for them to contribute, such as chatting with me privately, taking part in polls, sharing written comments, or using video or audio."
Rawle says feeling engaged and part of a community helps students learn better in any discipline. "This is something we're all wrestling with right now: how do we build relationships when everyone's on their screens? How do we humanize online education?" To start the fall term on the right foot, she sent a letter to her students before classes began expressing her concern for their health and well-being and acknowledging the stress of the current environment. Then, on the first day, she asked them what their top worries were and shared the most common responses anonymously with the whole class.
"I'm using a mix of inclusive and trauma-aware teaching practices, or more broadly a pedagogy of kindness," she says. "I try to create an honest dialogue online. A lot of students message me privately, too, even if it's just to ask for photos of my dog, Argus, who they can often hear in the background!" There's no shortage of lighthearted moments in her class, whether that's warming up for the lecture with a group colouring page, polling students on their "secret superpowers" or ending every class with music by request.

Liu and Waheed say they see the effort their professors are putting into creating community, but that there are limits to what they can do at a distance. "My professors are good about keeping up with discussion posts and being open to talking about things beyond the coursework at office hours," says Liu. Waheed agrees but says there is no substitute for spontaneous after-class discussions with fellow students. He especially misses the camaraderie of informal study groups, which, he says, virtual discussions lack.
Looking ahead, McCahan says the university will continue to adapt as required, but the first steps have been promising. "We've discovered that our faculty members can innovate and adapt their teaching in the digital world, and that's not going to evaporate post-pandemic. I think there will be a reimagining of undergraduate education. In-person teaching will still be critical, but we'll closely examine where it has the most benefits, and where online teaching might enrich student learning, such as with global classrooms, where students and faculty collaborate with peers from other universities."
About a year before the pandemic began, McCahan had a friendly debate with a colleague about the merits of virtual classrooms. "I argued that learning how to learn online was going to be a key skill in the future, and we needed to prepare our students," she said. "I just didn't realize the future was going to be 2020."
Pandemic prep, by the numbers
800+ essential workers across the three campuses prepared the physical infrastructure for students' gradual and safe return in September
30,000+ COVID-19 signs and decals installed
13.4 million wipes and 20,685 litres of hand sanitizer ordered
Twice daily disinfection of high-touch points
100 electrostatic sprayers deployed for superior and faster disinfection
250,000 non-medical, reusable face masks procured for distribution  – two for every student, staff and faculty member, and librarian
One Afternoon in November
On most days in a regular school year, U of T's three campuses are bustling with activity. But as photographer Galit Rodan discovered during a recent visit to U of T Mississauga, there's a sense of quiet absence now in the dining halls and corridors and student hangouts, as public health restrictions keep most members of the university community at home. "I thought how strange it must be for first-year students who don't know what campus life is normally like," says Rodan, who spent an afternoon with biology student Shirley Liu – and was impressed with her self-motivation. "I tried a distance-learning class once and never finished. I know how hard it is."

Q: Eclipse Java - Android - Source Not found Please dont mark this as duplicate. Its not. Nothing described in the other solutions works.
I recently installed Eclipse & Android SDK studio. Now as I am setting up to debug the code .. It is giving "Source not found".. the code which crashes the code 'eventually' is the basic textView
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

these are the tabs open and the thread situation.

A: Anyway, are you trying to cast a TextView to an EditText?
Make sure you have create a TextView and not an EditText in your layout.
Also make sure you have set your layout as content view.
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


If you have any questions, please email me at des@OfficiallyDes.com and I will post your question and my answers here.
Q: Is Weight Watchers expensive and do you have to buy their meals to participate?
A: I really think the cost of the program is relative -- most people can probably pay for a meeting by eliminating one or two take-out meals a week. However, many people have concerns about participating in meetings and have lost successfully by following the Program online at at home only. For more information on the various options, please click on the "Weight Loss Options" tab at the Weight Watchers web site (it is on the bottom of every page). I should mention that there are no foods that members are required to buy, although there are some Weight Watchers-branded items available in supermarkets and in meeting locations. The beauty is that people can work foods that they currently eat and love into the plan (either Flex or Core). There are a number of food items that I have never stopped enjoying because of the Program -- I may not have them on a daily basis anymore, but I still eat them, and most likely in more reasonable amounts!
I have read on several boards that people seeking to lose weight use a free service called SparkPeople to track their activity and food intake -- some in conjunction with WW.
Q: Do you have a certain exercise routine and could you recommend a good exercise facility?
A: My current routine is Turbo Jam 45-50 minutes, five days a week in the morning and a 30-minute session at Curves six days a week. I am fortunate enough to live close to a public park, so on the days Curves is closed I walk around the park. When the weather permits I also walk to many of my errands.
Curves worked for me because when I started, I did not exercise at all. I am not familiar with many local gyms, but I have read about several at-home programs at the WW boards: The Firm, Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home Program, and Couch to 5K . Of course, Turbo Jam is one of a family of fitness products offered by Beachbody -- another may be more appealing to you.

Q: SQL MERGE statement not case sensitive I have the following MERGE statement:
MERGE TargetTable t
USING SourceTable s ON (t.ID = s.ID)

WHEN MATCHED
     AND EXISTS (SELECT s.Day, s.Date, s.Name
                 EXCEPT
                 SELECT t.Day, t.Date, t.Name)
    THEN UPDATE
         SET t.Day = s.Day,
             t.Date = s.Date,
             t.Name = s.Name

WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET
    THEN INSERT (ID, Day, Date, Name)
         VALUES (s.ID, s.Day, s.Date, s.Name);

There are more columns however I just shorten it for ease of reading.
So when I run this it works fine except: if I change the case of something in source table, it does not get updated in the target table. I believe this is solved by using COLLATE for UTF8 however cannot figure it out.
EDIT: What I mean by if I change something in the source table is: For testing purposes I will execute the MERGE, then change a varchar field but only the case of a letter. Then when I run MERGE again that change does not get propagated to the target table as it does not see that as a change IE it is case insensitive
Thanks

A: Use a case-sensitive collation to qualify your columns.
Suppose your varchar columns were defined with a case-insensitive collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS (explicitly, or by way of default for the database). Your subquery with EXCEPT would become:
SELECT s.Day, s.Date, s.Name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
EXCEPT
SELECT t.Day, t.Date, t.Name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

The CS in the collation's name stands for case-sensitive. The CI for case-insensitive.


An Open Letter from ANC Scotland (the Scottish branch of the Catalan National Assembly).
On the evening of 16 October, the presidents of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) and Òmnium Cultural (ÒC), the two biggest grassroots organizations fighting for independence and self-determination for Catalonia, were sent to prison, accused of sedition because they organised demonstrations to protest the detention of Catalan government officials.
The two prisoners have been responsible for some of the most impressive rallies and demonstrations seen in Europe, which have always been peaceful. As Catalans and as ANC Scotland, we think that their imprisonment for political reasons is absolutely unacceptable and we demand their immediate release.
This is no longer only about 'yes' or 'no' to independence. This is about millions of citizens peacefully asking for self-determination and a state rejecting any idea of dialogue because of its Francoist roots. This is about democracy and freedom of speech, and the right of every citizen to defend their ideas peacefully without being repressed for them.
The Catalan government has repeatedly tried to open a dialogue, and many offers of mediation have been made, but the Spanish government remains hostile and insists there is nothing to discuss. After violence by the state against peaceful citizens during the referendum, and now the taking of political prisoners, it is time for the friends of Spain across Europe to speak out and call her back before she goes further down the route of repression.
If you enjoyed this article and want Bella to survive we need your support.
A free Scotland needs an independent media, that can't exist without your support. Please donate to our annual appeal here. Thanks.
Good luck, Catalans! I wish you Free Independent Catalonia!
Please let me know about any events/protests/petitions in support for the Catalan Nation.
Regards from a Croatian, based in London!
The Spanish Government are showing that they would march the Catalans into the gas ovens as readily as Germany in the, 1930s.
And the EU stands idly by.
So remind me please what the EU stands for.
Just read the reports that the Polish EU President Donald Tusk has issued that statement that the Catalonian crisis is not on the agenda.
Absolutely fantastic response from a man whose country was invaded by the Nazis in 1939.
The Poles didn't like that in 1939 and in 2017 neither do the Catalans who are having direct rule and political incarceration imposed on them.
Tusk must indeed have fond memories of the gas chambers and fascist rule because no one forgets these things, least of all prominent politicians.
Except, they are not Political Prisoners. They are being held awaiting trial. The charges are based upon their directing protests which obstructed Police, and led to damage to public property.
When self appointed people, obstruct the judicial system they are not Political Prisoners, but liable to arrest. Time, will decide if they were Mandela like martyrs, or simply Rabble Rousers.
I think by 'self-appointed' you mean 'elected', don't you?

Home/OPINION/Idlib a thorn in the side of Assad's grand plan for victory
Idlib a thorn in the side of Assad's grand plan for victory
new year started with intense bombing in the Syrian province of Idlib. The bombing killed two and injured 10 more. Idlib is supposed to be part of the de-escalation zone agreed by Russia and Turkey that was demarcated as part of the ceasefire put in place in March 2020. Despite such attacks taking place, there is speculation that there will be a swap of territory between the Damascus regime and Turkey. Talks about such a swap support the hype about Bashar Assad's rehabilitation and reintegration into the international community. However, even if there was the political will to do so, Idlib will always be a thorn in the side of such an objective.
A pro-Iran media outlet last week reported that there were several meetings held between Syrian and Turkish security officers late last year. The meetings were allegedly aimed at reviving the Adana Agreement of 1998, which allowed Turkish forces to go up to 5 km into Syrian territory to chase Kurdish militants. The report claimed that a renewed agreement would allow Turkey to extend its reach to 35 km into Syrian territory in return for Ankara handing over the northwest of the country to the regime and ceasing its support for the opposition. As much as pro-Iran outlets would like to propagate this narrative as a prelude for the regional acceptance of Assad — including by Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey — it is hard to believe that the Syrian ruler could be reinstated to the situation he was in prior to 2011.
Why not, some might ask? After all, Russia's Vladimir Putin and Erdogan, despite being on opposing sides of various conflicts from the Caucasus to North Africa, have been accommodating each other. This is why the term "frenemies" accurately describes the schizophrenic relationship between the two men. We have to remember that the Turkish incursion in Syria happened with tacit Russian acquiescence. And previous confrontations between the regime and Turkey have been halted by Russian interference. The clashes between the Assad regime and Turkish forces in January 2020 stopped after an Erdogan-Putin meeting.
However, all those agreements between Putin and Turkey are momentary ceasefires and do not amount to a solution. The two countries have diverging interest in Syria and have different threat perceptions, hence the mistrust between the two.
Despite being bound by the Sochi agreement of December 2018 and the framework of the Astana talks, it is hard to think of the two agreeing on anything beyond a momentary deconfliction. Though the pro-Iran media outlet claimed the UAE had a role in the alleged Turkish-Syrian meetings, Abu Dhabi's attempt to normalize with Assad has been resisted by the US, which does not want to see the Syrian president legitimized. It is unlikely that the UAE will expand on its role as a mediator between the Syrian regime and Arab countries. Normalization with Damascus was refused by both Qatar and Saudi Arabia. And Riyadh's UN envoy clearly said that Assad should be held accountable for his crimes.

At the same time, the US has reined in Turkey's appetite for a military operation, which the Syrian Democratic Forces was expecting in October 2021. The current US policy favors the status quo, but the perceived American disengagement from the region has pushed the different actors to find arrangements among themselves — hence the speculation that a new agreement, which will accommodate the Kurds, the regime, Russia and Turkey, is imminent.
Even if all their interests align and the different parties reach a point where they want to settle, the situation is far more complex than what the pro-Iran media outlet initially suggested. Idlib cannot just be traded as a chip in a deal between the different parties. Idlib has various opposition factions and it is impossible for Turkey to remove all the "extremist elements," as suggested in the deal sealed in September 2018 between Moscow and Ankara.
Instead, Ankara has focused on combating the most radical elements, such as Hurras Al-Din, and is seeking to more or less isolate the foreign fighters. The total eradication of extremism is proving difficult in the absence of a final political solution. So, even if it wanted to, Turkey cannot neutralize Idlib for the regime to take over. Any possible attempt to do so by Damascus would result in a bloodbath.
Anyway, Turkey has not shown any signs that it is willing to give up on Idlib. In fact, in the latest Astana process meeting last month, Ankara outlined four impossible conditions that must be met before it withdraws from Syria. One condition was that the different parties reach a consensus on the constitution to protect the rights of the different factions in Syria. Other conditions included the organization of free and fair elections and the formation of a legitimate government. The final condition was the eradication of all terrorist groups that threaten the unity of Syrian territory, alluding to the YPG. These conditions are an indirect way of Turkey saying that it will not withdraw from Syria, as they will be very difficult to meet in the foreseeable future.
Also, what have been perceived as "land swaps" in the past have been mostly the result of military operations. For example, the opposition lost Khan Sheikhun in the south of Idlib province to Russian forces in August 2019, while a Turkish cross-border incursion gained positions in Tal Abyad and Ras Al-Ain in October the same year. If such changes in military positions in the past have been the result of land swaps, why have they involved military escalation?
The truth is that both the Turks and the Russians have limited resources. Hence, they deploy in the areas where they see the most strategic value and where it is most efficient to do so, while vacating areas of lower importance. This means that the scenario of a grand land swap that ends the war and crowns Assad as the winner of the Syrian conflict is very unlikely.

\section{Some details}
\label{details}

Here we give some mathematical details for the analysis of the model in Eq (\ref{2ndModel}),
\begin{equation}
C_0 = \langle C_0\rangle + {1\over 2}\sum_{{\rm kl},\gamma\delta} J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta}( S_{\rm k}^\gamma - 1/4)(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4) .
\label{form2}
\end{equation}
The first thing we notice is that if we shift
$$J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta} \rightarrow J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta}  +u_{\rm k}^\gamma b_{\rm l} ,$$
then we pick up a term in Eq (\ref{form2})
$$\sim u_{\rm k}^\gamma b_{\rm l} \sum_\delta (S_{\rm l}^\delta-1/4) = 0.$$
This means that, without loss of generality, we can set
\begin{equation}
\sum_\alpha J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} = \sum_\beta J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} = 0.
\label{sumJzero}
\end{equation}
If we think of $J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta}$ as a $(4N)\times (4N)$ matrix, the condition in Eq (\ref{sumJzero}) reduces the rank by $N$, which makes sense since we have $N$ constraints $\sum_\alpha S_{\rm i}^\alpha = 1$.

We look next at the contribution from a   term $J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta}$ that is diagonal in the site indices:
\begin{widetext}
\begin{eqnarray}
\sum_{\gamma\delta}J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta}( S_{\rm k}^\gamma - 1/4)(S_{\rm k}^\delta - 1/4)
&=&
\sum_{\gamma\delta}J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta} [\delta_{\gamma\delta} S_{\rm k}^\gamma - (1/4)(S_{\rm k}^\gamma + S_{\rm k}^\delta ) + 1/16]\nonumber\\
&=&
\sum_\gamma
\left[ J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\gamma} -(1/2)\sum_\delta J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta} \right]
S_{\rm k}^\gamma + (1/16)\sum_{\gamma\delta}J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta} \nonumber\\
&=& \sum_\gamma J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\gamma} S_{\rm k}^\gamma ,
\end{eqnarray}
where in the last step we use Eq (\ref{sumJzero}).  Thus the only site diagonal term that can contribute also is diagonal in the base index, and this contribution  collapses back to a linear model, as in Eq (\ref{PWM}), with $W_{\rm k}^\gamma = J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\gamma}$.  Thus we can also zero out $J_{\rm kk}^{\gamma\delta}$, since it is redundant.

Now we are prepared to compute the correlation function that appears in Eq (\ref{C2}),
\begin{eqnarray}
{\bigg\langle} (C_0 - \langle C_0\rangle) ( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 ) {\bigg\rangle}
&=& {1\over 2}\sum_{{\rm kl},\gamma\delta} J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm k}^\gamma - 1/4)(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle}
\end{eqnarray}
We notice that the average is zero if all the indices $\rm ijkl$ are different; more precisely if ${\rm k}$ is different from all the other indices, then we get zero.  There is no term ${\rm k} = {\rm l}$, so we must have ${\rm k} = {\rm i}$ or ${\rm k } = {\rm j}$; let's try ${\rm k} = {\rm i}$:
\begin{equation}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm i}^\gamma - 1/4) (S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle} =
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
[ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} S_{\rm i}^\alpha - (1/4)(S_{\rm i}^\alpha  + S_{\rm i}^\gamma ) + 1/16]
{\bigg\rangle} .
\end{equation}
Since ${\rm i} = {\rm k} \neq {\rm l}$, the only remaining choice is whether ${\rm i} = {\rm j}$ or not.  If not, then the average factors,
\begin{eqnarray}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)[ \delta^{\alpha\gamma}S_{\rm i}^\alpha - (1/4)(S_{\rm i}^\alpha  + S_{\rm i}^\gamma ) + 1/16]
{\bigg\rangle}
&=&
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle}
[ \delta^{\alpha\gamma}(1/4) - (1/16)]\nonumber\\
&=& \delta_{\rm jl}(1/16) [\delta^{\beta\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} - (1/4)] .
\end{eqnarray}
On the other hand, if ${\rm i} = {\rm j} \neq {\rm l}$ we have
\begin{equation}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm i}^\gamma - 1/4) (S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle}
=
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm i}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm i}^\gamma - 1/4){\bigg\rangle}{\bigg\langle} (S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle} = 0.
\end{equation}
So what we have shown that there is one term
\begin{equation}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm k}^\gamma - 1/4)(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle}^{(1)} = (1/16)(1-\delta_{\rm ij}) \delta_{\rm jl} \delta_{\rm ki } [\delta^{\beta\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} - (1/4)] .
\end{equation}
The other choice was ${\rm k} = {\rm j}$, which we can get by swapping $({\rm i} , \alpha
) \leftrightarrow ({\rm j},\beta)$.  This gives
\begin{equation}
{\bigg\langle}
( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 )
( S_{\rm k}^\gamma - 1/4)(S_{\rm l}^\delta - 1/4)
{\bigg\rangle}^{(2)} =  (1/16)(1-\delta_{\rm ij}) \delta_{\rm il} \delta_{\rm kj } [\delta^{\alpha\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\beta\gamma} - (1/4)] .
\end{equation}
Putting these together we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\langle C_0 S_{\rm i}^\alpha S_{\rm j}^\beta\rangle_c  &\equiv&{\bigg\langle} (C_0 - \langle C_0\rangle) ( S_{\rm i}^\alpha -1/4 ) ( S_{\rm j}^\beta -1/4 ) {\bigg\rangle} \nonumber\\
&=& {1\over {32}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij}) \sum_{{\rm kl},\gamma\delta} J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta}  \delta_{\rm jl} \delta_{\rm ki } [\delta^{\beta\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} - (1/4)] + {1\over {32}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij}) \sum_{{\rm kl},\gamma\delta} J_{\rm kl}^{\gamma\delta}
\delta_{\rm il} \delta_{\rm kj } [\delta^{\alpha\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\beta\gamma} - (1/4)] \nonumber\\
&=& {1\over {32}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij})\sum_{\gamma\delta} J_{\rm ij}^{\gamma\delta} [\delta^{\beta\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} - (1/4)] + {1\over {32}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij})\sum_{\gamma\delta} J_{\rm ji}^{\gamma\delta}[\delta^{\alpha\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\beta\gamma} - (1/4)] .
\end{eqnarray}
We recall that $J_{\rm ij}^{\gamma\delta} = J_{\rm ji}^{\delta\gamma}$, so that
\begin{eqnarray}
\langle C_0 S_{\rm i}^\alpha S_{\rm j}^\beta\rangle_c &=& {1\over {16}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij})\sum_{\gamma\delta} J_{\rm ij}^{\gamma\delta} [\delta^{\beta\delta} - (1/4)][ \delta^{\alpha\gamma} - (1/4)]\nonumber\\
&=& {1\over {16}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij})\left[ J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} - (1/4)\sum_\delta J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\delta}
-(1/4)\sum_\gamma J_{\rm ij}^{\gamma\beta} + (1/16)\sum_{\gamma\delta}J_{\rm ij}^{\gamma\delta}\right].
\end{eqnarray}
\end{widetext}
Now we use $\sum_\beta J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} = 0$, and  our result collapses to
\begin{equation}
\langle C_0 S_{\rm i}^\alpha S_{\rm j}^\beta\rangle_c  = {1\over {16}}(1-\delta_{\rm ij})J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} = {1\over {16}} J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta} .
\end{equation}

\end{figure}

\section{Imposing translation invariance}
\label{clean}

We impose translation invariance on the matrix $J_{\rm ij}^{\alpha\beta}$ according to Eq~(\ref{invariance}); Fig~\ref{Jmatrix} shows the $ J$ matrix before and after this treatment.   As noted in the main text,  translation invariance reduces the number of free parameters in $ J$ from $\sim15000$ to $\sim600$
and thus raises the signal to noise ratio in the inferred matrix elements. The ``cleaned'' $ J$ not only shows clear stripes near the diagonal, suggesting strong nearest neighbor interactions in determining the cyclizability, but also displays a set of stripes separated at half-helical ($\sim5$ bp) and helical ($\sim10$ bp) period of DNA, suggesting a role more longer ranged interactions in determining DNA flexibility.

The eigenvalues of the cleaned $\langle C_0 S_{\rm i}^\alpha S_{\rm j}^\beta\rangle_c$ ($=J/16$) matrix stand out from the shuffled background with higher signal to noise ratio, both at large positive and large negative values, and the eigenvectors are more clearly periodic.  Results are shown in Fig~\ref{cleanmodes}, which should be compared with Fig \ref{eigenmodes} in the main text.  We note that although the matrix $ J$ is translation invariant, the eigenvectors exhibit clear boundary effects, so that modes 199 and 200 are almost localized at the ends of the sequence.

(bottom) Eigenvectors $w_{\rm i}^\alpha ({\rm n})$ of the matrix $\langle C_0 S_{\rm i}^\alpha S_{\rm j}^\beta\rangle_c$, for modes with most positive (1, 2) and negative (199, 200) eigenvalues. \label{cleanmodes}}

DSS Denies Helping Nnamdi Kanu Escape Nigeria

The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed allegation that five of its personnel allegedly aided the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to escape from Nigeria.
Kanu escaped from his abode in Umuahia, Abia State on September 14, 2017.
He, however, showed up in Jerusalem, Israel last Friday.
In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson for the DSS, Peter Afunanya described the rumour as malicious.
He said: "The Service wishes to state that the news is fake, mischievous and defamatory. It is nothing but a figment of the imagination of the originators.
"The public should, by now, have noted the antics of Kanu, IPOB and their collaborators whose stock in trade is to peddle unfounded rumours, gossips and propaganda aimed at subverting the government, its key agencies and officials.
"The DSS is aware that some unscrupulous elements are keen on exploiting the situation to constitute a nuisance to the freedoms of all persons as guaranteed in the Constitution and as well disrupt the forthcoming general elections.
"The DSS will not stand by idly and watch these undesirable elements achieve their aims.
"It is to be further emphasised that the indissolubility, unity and indivisibility of our beloved country is sacred."

Self-Driving Cars: The End of ...
Self-Driving Cars: The End of Car Accidents or the Start of Many More?
As more and more vehicle manufacturers roll out new models with self-driving technologies, the era of hands-free driving seems to be an inevitability. The first "fully autonomous" vehicles are on schedule to debut in 2019, and experts predict that there will be more than 10 million self-driving cars on the road by 2020.
The major vehicle manufacturers are, of course, touting the safety benefits of autonomous cars and trucks. These computer-controlled vehicles, they say, will be both more aware and better able to respond to emergencies than human drivers.
Current Safety Concerns with Self-Driving Technology
But, at this point, numerous concerns remain. Consider these six issues recently discussed in the Times Herald-Record:
Bridges. Many of today's self-driving technologies rely on the ability to distinguish features (such as vehicles and pedestrians) against the background of an empty streetscape. On bridges, this functionality appears to be limited.
Inclement Weather. Similarly, many self-driving cars rely on the ability to track and follow road markings – like the white and yellow lane-dividing lines that we see on a daily basis. In a Hudson Valley snow storm, it is unclear whether self-driving cars will be able to keep themselves on the road.
Inadequate Lane Markings. If the inability to see lane markings in the snow is a problem, then this means that inadequate lane markings on clear roads will create issues as well. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk raised this specific issue in a public address reported on by the Washington Post.
City Driving. Times Herald-Record reporter Danielle Muoio suggests that driverless cars will face issues during city driving as well. This is due to both (i) the increased number of obstacles on city streets as compared to highways, and (ii) limited GPS connectivity in heavily urbanized environments.
Lack of Human Interaction. In some circumstances, human interaction can actually help avoid certain types of accidents. A simple waive or flash of the headlights at a four-way stop, for example, may be all that is needed to establish the right of way. But, when a driver approaches an intersection opposite a self-driving vehicle, the technologies that are designed to avoid accidents could be insufficient to clearly communicate the driverless vehicle's intentions.
High-Speed Decision Making. Finally, the Times Herald-Record article also notes that self-driving technologies may struggle to adapt to the human approach to merging into high-speed traffic. If driverless cars reactions differ from what drivers have come to expect, this could create an increased risk of accidents.
On top of these types of safety concerns, driverless technologies are poised to raise a host of issues when it comes to establishing liability in the event of a collision. As a result, victims of accidents involving self-driving vehicles will be well-served to hire experienced legal representation.

Be part of the Ngāi Tahu Antarctic story with the Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies.
Te Tauira a Te Kaiwhakatere Scholarship provides a fully funded placement on the Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies (PCAS), offered by the University of Canterbury. It is supported by Te Rūnanga's environment team, Te Ao Tūroa, in an effort to keep the oral histories of Ngāi Tahu exploration to Antarctica alive and to foster an awareness and interest in issues surrounding the continent.
The scholarship name translates as 'The Helmsman's Apprentice' and references the Ngāi Tahu pou whenua at Scott Base, which is named Navigator of the Heavens. This pou whenua captures the ancestral stories of waka helmsmen guiding Māori voyagers to the ice, using only the stars as a map.
You don't need to be a current student at the university to be eligible, but you do need to have completed a Bachelor degree at least and be a registered Ngāi Tahu member. We are keen to encourage applicants from a range of disciplines, so don't be put off if you think you lack an environmental or science education background!

This COD beta requires Blizz PASSWORD?! and personal info.
exactly my damn point, some sketchy email through intel + COD asks for your same Email and password that you use to log in WoW... pretty dumb.
why is this black ops beta signup so sketchy, it asks for your Email login for blizzard, with Password, Area Code, phone number and more, why should this COD even be linked to your WoW account.
