Primate urges government to apologize for residential schools

Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, has expressed "strong disappointment and sadness" over the federal government's refusal to offer an apology to former students of native residential schools and their families.
In a letter, Archbishop Hutchison strongly urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to reconsider his government's decision not to issue an apology saying that for many former students it was "at least as important" as the compensation provided in the revised Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement.
The primate noted that in the church's work in the Alternative Dispute Resolution process, "We have heard that for many survivors, the apology is at least as important as the financial compensation," said Archbishop Hutchison. "People whose lives have been shattered through no fault of their own, are immensely helped by having their sufferings acknowledged and validated, and by hearing the words of apology."
Archbishop Hutchison underscored the fact that the Anglican Church of Canada, through his predecessor, Archbishop Michael Peers, had already acknowledged that it had been "complicit" in the Canadian government's past policy of assimilation and had offered an apology on behalf of the church "for the harm done by the residential school system."
The Anglican church, functioning as an agent of the Government of Canada, operated 26 Indian residential schools. "We are ashamed of this part of our history," said Archbishop Hutchison.
Archbishop Hutchison also emphasized that the Anglican church was not alone in requesting that the government issue an apology. He noted that British Columbia Supreme Court Chief Justice Donald Brenner had, in his ruling on the settlement agreement, urged the Prime Minister to issue "a full and unequivocal apology" on behalf of all Canadians in the House of Commons.
Opposition members of parliament have likewise joined calls to offer an apology, stating that generations of aboriginal people continue to suffer from the effects of the residential schools system.
Indian Affairs Minister Jim Prentice had told the House of Commons this week that the $1.9 billion settlement agreement does not include the issuance of an apology.The Globe and Mail noted that in 1998, then Indian affairs minister Jane Stewart had expressed the Canadian governments "profound regret" to aboriginal Canadians "for past actions of the federal government which have contributed to these difficult pages in the history of our relationship together." She also expressed an apology but limited it to those who were physically and sexually abused. The chiefs of the Assembly of First Nations, however, demanded a fuller apology – "one in which Ottawa explicitly said it was sorry for the very creation of the residential schools."
In 2005, then (Liberal) deputy prime minister Anne McLellan acknowledged that once an agreement was reached there would be "a need for an apology that will provide a broader recognition of the Indian residential schools legacy and its effect upon First Nation communities."
All nine provincial and territorial courts approved the agreement March 8, which means that it may be implemented by fall. Former students of native residential schools have until Aug. 20 to declare if they want to opt out of the agreement. If 5,000 out of an estimated 80,000 former students decide not to participate in the agreement, it would be up to the federal government to decide to move ahead with the deal.
The accord provides former students a Common Experience Payment (CEP) of $10,000 for the first year of attendance in residential schools and $3,000 for each additional year.


I boiled up some hand rolled macaroni in broth and water for myself and the roommate to use for meals for the day.
I took some roasted vegetables out of the fridge and sautéed them with morels, tossing some pasta and a small pat of butter. Once heated through, I added a couple tablespoons of heavy cream and a few tablespoons of the pasta boiling water to make a light cream sauce.
I tossed in sliced leftover hanger steak at the last minute, just to barely warm the steak up.
Here is my savoy cabbage sauerkraut experiment, about 3 days in.
It's quite bitter, fermentation has not yet taken hold of the salt water solution.
I'm hoping as the acidity level rises in the brine that most of the bitterness will cook out of the cabbage.

Heading off to school? You may need some books and pencil, right? Well, we're living in 21st century where most of our jobs are aided by computers and that I do not agree that it would be OK with just pencil and books. If you're unaware, you are going to have a lot to accomplish while being in school and therefore you will require a tablet computer with which you can finish your tasks easily and economically. Therefore, in this buying guide, we've picked out a few of the best tablets for college students that can enable you to take immediate notes in the classroom and for finishing other demanding works also. It is also possible to chill awhile from the breaks with YouTube and Netflix.
The majority of the tablets today are optimised for general everyday use, but there are a range of tablets that are specifically meant to get work done. They are 2-in-1 computers that may be used as notebook and tablet both. They are standalone conventional tablets until a keyboard is attached to them, means killing two birds with one stone. The majority of them operate on Windows operating system, that I consistently recommend to the businessmen and students because of its versatility. These 2-in-1 computers are relatively low in price and provide same specifications as a full-fledged notebook and consequently, it becomes a terrific bargain for budget buyers. However, if you wish to checkout laptops then we have a committed buying guide for notebooks for college students in our website Notebook Under Budget where you can get notebooks recommendations for every budget and college majors.

Q: The best way to override [gs]et for javascript object instance (with prototype?) Sample code how do I want the instance to work:
var brother = new Person("James");

console.log(brother.status);
// "James, current location: home, health condition: saber"

brother.status = {
    location: "pub",
    "health condition": "drunk as a skunk"
};

console.log(brother.status);
// "James, current location: pub, health condition: drunk as a skunk"

Question is how to program object Person, its prototype and how to use Object.defineProperty to achieve this (or similar) behavior the most elegant way.
I did some solution so far but I would like to not to explain it here to bother your mind with it.
The key answer should contain Object with methods and properties that are not copied for each instance and Object must be easy to inherit.

A: // Constructor
function Person(name){
  // In prototype, Can be in herited
  this._name = name;
  this._status;

  // Not available in prototype, hence cannot be inherited
  age = 20;
  function incAge(){
    age++;
  }
  // Available in instances, Privilege.
  this.getAge = function(){
     incAge();  // Accessing private members
     return age;
  }
}

Person.prototype.constructor = Person;

Object.defineProperty(Person.prototype, "status", {
  configurable : true,  // If you want it to be changed in derived class
  enumerable : false,
  get : function(){
    this._status = this._status || {location : "home", "health condition" : "saber"};
    return this._name + ", current location: "+ this._status.location+", health condition: "+this._status["health condition"];
  },
  set : function(status){this._status = status}
});

//----DERIVED CLASS---
function SuperPerson(name){
  Person.call(this, name);
}

SuperPerson.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype);
SuperPerson.prototype.constructor = SuperPerson;

Object.defineProperty(Person.prototype, "status", {
  enumerable : false,
  get : function(){
    this._status = this._status || {location : "BatCave", "health condition" : "I dont have parents to take care of me"};
    return this._name + ", current location: "+ this._status.location+", health condition: "+this._status["health condition"];
  }
});

This post beautifully explained the descriptors of the Object.defineProperty method, if you are interested.

A: You could define a common private defaultStatus for all people, and then for each person create a private status which inherits from defaultStatus. Then, expose a public status which, on setting, assigns the new data to the private status (I use ES6 Object.assign, can be polyfilled). On getting, it builds the desired string.
var Person = (function() {
  var defaultStatus = {
    location: 'home',
    health: 'saber'
  };
  return function Person(name) {
    var status = Object.create(defaultStatus);
    Object.defineProperty(this, 'status', {
      enumerable: true,
      get: function() {
        return [
          name,
          "current location: " + status.location,
          "health condition: " + status.health
        ].join(', ');
      },
      set: Object.assign.bind(void 0, status)
    });
  };
})();

Analysts Expect Bitcoin in Bullish Mode After 'Tax Day'
Data: April 4, 2018
'Tax Day' in the U.S. is today, April 17, and a number of analysts are bullish on Bitcoin as the much-anticipated tax deadline should trigger the next upward momentum.
'Tax Day' to Spark New Bullish Momentum For Bitcoin
The cryptocurrency market has been hungover ever since Bitcoin entered the futures trading market in December 2017. The downward path in 2018 removed the majority of its market cap, from about $826 billion to $330 billion today. Bitcoin had a similar fate as its market cap plunged from $324 billion to $138 billion, and its price shed $12,000, from $20,000 to about $8,000. Today, however, is 'Tax Day' in the United States.
The IRS says cryptocurrencies constitute property, which is subject to capital gains tax. Institutional investors argue that 'Tax Day' is the trigger of the new bullish run.
"Tax-selling has been a significant factor in downward crypto prices over the past few weeks. I would expect this downward pressure to abate after tax day,"
Blockchain Capital co-founder Spencer Bogart told CNBC.
The 1,300 percent upward move seen in the Bitcoin price chart should result in $25 billion in taxes for digital currency holdings in the United States, according to Tom Lee, Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. Lee says that U.S. households captured 30% of the $590 billion capital gains from cryptocurrencies in 2017. The tax rate of 27% on a $92 billion taxable gain means that U.S. holders owe $25 billion.
On April 15, Tom Lee said that Bitcoin may be bottoming;
CRYPTO: Where was #BTC 1M prior to ~$20,000 top? $5,900. In other words, BTC this year rollbacked prices similar to what happened in 2014/15. Could be same bottom as the 2014/15 bottom. Also, selling related to capital gains taxes in US should be lifting as tax day is 4/17. pic.twitter.com/AyOgKPoR2x
— Thomas Lee (@fundstrat) April 15, 2018
Lee expects Bitcoin to reach $20,000 again by mid-year and $25,000 by the end of 2018. By early 2020, the cryptocurrency is predicted to be worth $91,000.
An investor letter published by Dan Morehead, Founder and CEO of Pantera Capital, said that bitcoin is "highly likely to have exceeded $20,000 within a year."
Tim Draper, an early backer of Tesla, Skype, and SpaceX, announced that he predicts that Bitcoin price will reach $250,000 by 2022. Draper said he expects that, in five years, whoever tries to pay in fiat currency will be laughed at.
Horizon Kinetics' Murray Stahl argued that Bitcoin could be worth the value of all the currency in the world because fiat money can be "debased". According to Barron's estimate, this would mean a figure of $361,000 per Bitcoin.


9.3 Sporadic GitHub Connectivity Issues?
Lately I've been exploring and learning Azure on the side when I can find the time. Most recently I've been looking at automating the provisioning of Azure resources with ARM (Azure Resource Manager) templates.
I underestimated the time and trouble here so I tried to capture some of the details along the way for later reference. What follows is a step by step of creating a new ASP.NET Core website from scratch and getting it setup on Azure in an automated fashion.
This post will make use of the following.
While I somewhat prefer the older Yeoman generator for ASP.NET Core projects to generate the initial app content, I thought I would give the .NET Core CLI tools a chance after reading through this thread.
First I ran dotnet new --help to see the syntax and options.
Next I installed the dependencies with npm install and grabbed a coffee while waiting on the 124 MB of 13k+ files and 1600+ folders.
Next I created a local git repository with git init and checked details with git status. It was nice to see that things were already good to go since it appeared dotnet new had already created an appropriate .gitignore file.
Then it was time for the initial add and commit.
… and grabbing the repo URL.
All that's left is adding the remote repo url and pushing the changes.
Azure needs permission to access the GitHub account to pull the web app's source code and setup a webhook to be notified when commits are pushed. If this isn't set there'll be an error on deployment similar to "Repository 'UpdateSiteSourceControl' operation failed with Microsoft.Web.Hosting.SourceControls.OAuthException: GitHub GetRepository: Bad credentials". There are at least a couple ways to take care of this mostly one-time setup.
One option is navigating to an existing web app in Azure (or creating a temporary one) and opening the Deployment Options blade. From there, GitHub can be chosen as the Source and clicking the Authorize button will handle the OAuth step with GitHub. There's no need to pick a repo or finish the deployment option as the token is already set.
Another option is navigating to GitHub's Personal Access Tokens page under Settings\Developer Settings and click Generate new token. Once the permissions are set and the token is generated it can be copied for use in Azure. On resources.azure.com under Providers/Microsoft.Web/sourcecontrols/GitHub the Edit button can be clicked and the token pasted in and the data saved by executing the Put command.
Initially I didn't like the idea of using an ARM template. It was another schema and syntax to learn, it wasn't as directly executable as a script, and it felt like giving up some control in ways. However, it was a win that the template was declarative in nature with desired end state configuration in mind, as opposed to having to explicitly script/set every step required to reach that state. The template was also arguably more maintainable than coding Azure provisioning and it may open up editing of that provisioning to non-coders.
I ultimately decided to create the ARM template from scratch. This helped ensure that (a) I really learned it and (b) the template had only what was truly needed. Even though I didn't start from a larger template or existing example, there were certainly sources that were useful for reference and copying small bits of configuration from.
Visual Studio – The Azure Resource Group Project with the Web App template could have been a decent starting place with some reasonable defaults. Still, it's some 300 lines of JSON and more than I wanted initially. Also I've been splitting time between PC and Mac and getting used to how light and responsive VS Code is. However, starting an ARM template in Visual Studio and switching to Code is an option.
ARM Template Samples – I found the Azure Quick Start Templates GitHub to be great resource though it can be a bit overwhelming and perhaps tough to navigate. There were some smaller Azure Websites ARM template samples on GitHub I found useful as well.
Azure Automation Script – This was useful as an interactive playground so to speak – tweaking resource settings in the Azure Portal then checking the Automation Script to see how those changes would be scripted (and maybe copying small bits). It's a bit of a hot mess for direct use as-is though, even as a starting point. For one, it includes a ton of cruft that's just not needed and things may not be named or organized well in the large auto generated script. The other problem is the script includes the entire resource group, even when just one resource like a web app is selected. Finally some resource types can't be scripted and some output can actually be invalid.
VS Code ARM Extension – The Azure Resource Manager Tools VS Code Extension provided intellisense, validation, and other features which helped in the editing. Some warnings/errors were invalid but overall it was a nice assist.
docs.microsoft.com – For example, Understand the structure and syntax of Azure Resource Manager templates and related doc pages may be useful for reference.
I started out with this template skeleton which has the below top level elements. I actually started off without the variables and outputs sections and later refactored the template to use those.
The parameters section defines parameters that will be specified either in a parameters json file when running the script or at the command line when running the script. Several parameters have default values to be used when not set in the parameters file.
"description": "The name of the web app that you wish to create."
"description": "The name of the App Service plan to use for hosting the web app."
"description": "App insights container name."
"description": "Region where app insights services reside. Not available in every region."
"description": "Remote Git repo url"
"description": "Remote Git repo branch"
Note the use of the concat function to combine parameter names with constant string values. A variety of other functions are available. It's also worth noting that you can reference a parameter value inside another parameter – appServicePlanName and appInsightsName in the above example.
Also note there's a separate location for App Insights which isn't supported in every location. Initially I was using the same location of West US for both the web app and insights and when I deployed the template I received an error "The subscription is not registered for the resource type 'components' in the location 'West US'. Please re-register for this provider in order to have access to this location." When creating an app insights instance in the portal (i.e. when creating a new web app) you can see the supported locations.
I also originally had an appLocation parameter until I later realized I could use [resourceGroup().location] in the resources that follow. That will use the location specified later when invoking a deployment of the template. Basically the resource group will be initialized just before the template is used to deploy/configure the group and its resources.
After I found myself repeating certain function calls in multiple locations within the template, I researched the variables section where certain calls can be done in one spot and assigned to a variable to be reused in other spots in the template.
First up in the resources section was an entry to setup the app service plan with hosting info for the web app.
For app insights, only the bare minimum information is set though for real world apps it would likely have alert rules and other configuration setup.
Note the hidden-link to the web app resource in the tags section. This wasn't obvious and wasn't something I initially had. After deploying and going to the App Insights blade of the web app, it was clear that App Insights was not linked to the website. I found this by viewing the Automation Script of another resource group that had a web app with App Insights – one configured via the Portal.
Note that the website resource contains it own resources section, defining a resource for app settings, source control, etc.
Site Extensions – The resource type siteextensions was another non-obvious need for App Insights that I only realized after accessing App Insights for the web app. Looking at the Automation Script after configuring App Insights in the Portal was helpful here as well.
App Insights Instrumentation Key – The web app settings APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY needed to be set for App Insights, and the resource type config (named appsettings) needed to be dependent on the resource type siteextensions (named Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AzureWebSites. Otherwise that resulted in a cancellation error during deployment when applying the App Insights siteextensions.
Source Control – By settings isManualIntegration to false, it's indicating that the repo authorization has previously been done within Azure and it can get notified of new commits and automatically redeploy the site. Setting this to true may be needed for instances where ownership of the repo is with someone else or automatic pushes aren't desired.
Finally in the outputs section, the URL of the created website is output.
When the template is deployed this will produce output like below.
When deploying the template a parameters JSON file can be specified to supply parameter values. That might seem redundant at first with parameters in the main ARM template. However this template will likely be getting used in different contexts where each will have different values. Commonly this might take the form of different environment settings, with one file per environment. In my case I specify just the parameters that vary by environment in the parameters file with more shared ones having default values in the ARM template.
At least the error is very detailed. It's not a bad idea to validate that it's syntactically correct before attempting to deploy of course, especially after large template updates or when you're not sure about some changes.
If all is fine with the template, there should be no output.
If all is well with the template, the error JSON element will be null.
There are a lot of ways to deploy / execute / run the template. In the Automation Options section there's generated code for the Azure CLI, PowerShell, .NET, and Ruby but there's also an ARMClient exe, Rest API, and deploying templates from the Portal. In my case I chose PowerShell initially, followed by the Azure CLI.
There are a couple edits I made to the default generated script.
First, the $deploymentName parameter was marked mandatory but wasn't even being passed into New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment or used in any way. I made this optional, defaulting to a date/time based deployment name if not set. This can be left off entirely and a reasonable deployment name is used but it appeared that the same name would be used each time so Resource Group\Deployments would only show the last deployment instead of the complete history.
Second, an $incremental switch parameter was added. That gets translated into the type Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceManager.Models.DeploymentMode. I wanted this to be false by default to force a complete deployment, deleting any resource in the group that's not specified in the template. This forced me to ensure the template was correct, complete, and automated without relying on things being done in the portal UI. This may not be advisable for production but for dev and test it was fine. This also required adding -Force when calling New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment to suppress the "did you ask your mother for permission?" confirmation prompt. Highlighted lines below represent changes over the generated script.
The subscription id where the template will be deployed.
The resource group where the template will be deployed. Can be the name of an existing or a new resource group.
Optional name of the deployment. If not specified a default name is generated.
Optional, a resource group location. If specified, will try to create a new resource group in this location. If not specified, assumes resource group is existing.
Optional, path to the template file. Defaults to template.json.
Optional, path to the parameters file. Defaults to AzureWebHelloWorld.json. If file is not found, will prompt for parameter values based on template.
Optional flag indicating deployment mode should be incremental and not complete (default).
I invoked the PowerShell script with a call like this (multiline syntax below is just for readability here).
By default with Login-AzureRmAccount, a web popup window appears to input username on one page and password on the next. Annoyingly that seems to happen on every run and the window seems to be always hidden underneath all under windows. It's also distracting to shift context away from the PS terminal. I started to go down the route of a service principal or other alternatives but that's a problem for another day.
Afterwards the output looked like below, with additional output before and after, including the website URL output as shown in the above template outputs section.
Since Powershell Core runs on multiple operating systems, I thought I'd give Azure PowerShell on Mac a try.
I was able to import AzureRM.NetCore but the list of exported commands was empty so I couldn't execute anything like Login-AzureRMAccount. While it's possible I did something wrong I know the support for this is in preview so I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.
I'm not a bash guy or really even a Mac guy but I wanted to deploy from my Mac as well. I needed to brush up on Bash anyway and try Azure CLI more. The changes I made over the default generated automation script from Azure are called out below and highlighted in the AzureWebHelloWorld.sh code below.
Added parameters for templateFilePath, parametersFilePath and (deployment) mode.
Defaulted deploymentName, resourceGroupLocation, templateFilePath, and mode if not set.
az account set --name $subscriptionId didn't work, changed to az account set --sub $subscriptionId.
az group show $resourceGroupName didn't work, changed to az group exists --name $resourceGroupName.
echo "Enter parameter file path "
echo "Either one of subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, deploymentName is empty"
echo "Resource group with name" $resourceGroupName "could not be found. Creating new resource group.."
echo "Using existing resource group..."
echo "Template has been successfully deployed"
Setup wise, I originally tried installing Azure CLI via brew install azure-cli. It installed but I had an issue using it; I can't remember the issue now and I switched to curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash and restarting the terminal before capturing the problem.
I fumbled around a bit with invoking the script with coming from PowerShell and Windows.
Tried using -fullParameter name for the parameters at first and had to brush up on shell script parameters.
Wasn't breaking the habit of ".\" instead of "./" when executing the script in the same directory.
Forgot about making the script executable – i.e. chmod u+x AzureWebHelloWorld.sh.
Originally I created AzureWebHelloWorld.sh on Windows and it seemed I needed to run dos2unix AzureWebHelloWorld.sh to convert the line endings. Then I realized that wasn't installed so I first needed brew install dos2unix.
The PIN based OAuth process was slightly longer on the initial authorization but the nice thing was that subsequent runs of the script didn't reprompt for credentials (unlike the PowerShell cmdlets).
ARM template validation issues were easy to fix. The main problem I had with deployment issues is that the errors weren't always very reflective of what the problem was. Some issues also didn't seem to have much to go on from a diagnostic perspective.
When first deploying the site with GitHub integration I ran into the below error. Since it mentioned GetSiteSourceControl, GitHub, and 403 Forbidden it led me down the road of thinking it was some of kind of GitHub permissions / token type issue despite having the authorization in place. This really threw me for a loop for a while.
"Message": "Repository 'GetSiteSourceControl' operation failed with System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
In the Azure portal when I navigated to Resource Group\Website\Deployment Options and clicked on the details, I noticed NPM output that didn't match what I saw when I installed locally.
That led me to wondering about the node version on Azure and pulling up the App Settings blade on the website in the portal showed 6.9.1 when I was running 8.9.0 locally.
Setting "WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION": "8.9.0" in the app settings for the website resource resolved the issue.
Even after correcting the Node version I was still seeing errors around "Repository 'GetSiteSourceControl' operation failed" with "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable." or "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'".
Comparing to a site I had previously created in the portal UI with GitHub integration, I realized that it had an S1 Standard SKU for the app service plan and in my ARM template I had the Free SKU. Changing it to S1 Standard resolved the deployment issue.
On some rare occasions I would receive an error like "Repository 'UpdateSiteSourceControl' operation failed… (503) Server Unavailable.". I could deploy shortly thereafter without making any changes and it wouldn't happen again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm guessing sporadic connectivity issues to GitHub or perhaps to NPM later. It didn't happen enough for me to really dive in but it was concerning.
Unfortunately when running the deployment there's not much indication of what's going on at the command line once the deployment has started (at least by default). For az group deployment create there's a debug parameter and for New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment there's a DeploymentDebugLogLevel parameter. The problem with these is you then end up with the opposite problem – too much output including blobs of JSON and potentially sensitive output. Basically it seems to be more all or nothing output wise from the command line.
Viewing the status from the Azure Portal during the deployment might be better in cases. From Resource Group\Deployments the list of deployments will include any in progress deployment.
Clicking the deployment name will bring up the detail on the steps.
Clicking on a step will bring up detail for that step.
Drilling into the web app resource within the resource group and going to Deployment Options will show some detail including the last git commit message but further details can't be seen until the step finishes.
Once the step completes it can be clicked on for further details.
Clicking on the deployment command log shows details including packages installed, files copied, etc.
Seeing the output about the generated build script in the deployment log, I was curious what all it was doing on my behalf. I went to to the Console blade of the web app and viewed the contents of the auto generated script.
I thought it was pretty cool that all the package dependency installs, dot net publish, file sync/copy logic and more I got for free by default and it just worked without having to create a build script and setup a CI server. I wasn't familiar with Kudu but it appears easy enough to customize the defaults by downloading the script and adding the files to the root of the repo.
First I confirmed the resource group was there under Resource Groups in the Portal and it had the resources setup per the template.
Next up, the web app Overview.
Under the Monitoring section of the web app, I checked out App Insights. This was the area that took a few tries to get right.
From there, I navigated over to the full App Insights section.
Last but not least, navigating the web app hosted on Azure to verify it's working as expected.
The full templates and scripts in this post can be found here: AzureWebHelloWorldDeploy.zip.
… but there's always starting small and incrementally adding more functionality as the need arises.

I concur with Midwest Flyer Magazine "Instrument Flight" columnist, Michael J. "Mick" Kaufman, in his assessment of a fatal accident involving a pilot flying a small general aviation aircraft from Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN) to William P. Hobby-Houston Airport (KHOU) on June 9, 2016 (see article beginning on page 9). Clearly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) needs to review its training and supervisory syllabi to change its policy in how controllers treat air traffic – the airlines versus general aviation.
The pilot was on approach to a commercial airport and because airline traffic was overtaking her from behind, she was vectored for a go-around, to which she agreed in a courteous manner. The problem was, as airline traffic continued inbound, she was vectored again, and again, and again to different runways by different controllers, until it became a highly stressful situation for the pilot, and she came in too high on at least one occasion. Finally, on the last missed approach, the pilot apparently turned too sharp, stalled, and spun the aircraft into the ground.
As Mick points out, air traffic controllers are usually on top of their game and do a fantastic job, but since when is it written or perceived policy that the airlines get priority at the expense of general aviation safety?
I think that most general aviation pilots do their best to accommodate the airlines whenever possible, but it appears that some FAA controllers and their supervisors are of the mindset that general aviation pilots should always yield to the big iron, and that's wrong!

R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage: Death of a Wrestler and Baseball Player
Posted by MLB reports
MLB reports: Here on the reports we try to keep you, the baseball fan, up to date on all the latest news, reports and analysis from around the baseball universe. Usually on Fridays you will find our weekly Friday Faceoff segment, where two players go head to head in a statistical matchup to determine the weekly victor. This week's segment has taken a back to seat to the news today that former WWE wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage has passed at the age of 58. We will go into the story as available to us from TMZ on Randy's passing for the update. You will also learn the reason behind this segment, as besides being a world champion wrestler, Randy Savage aka Randy Poffo, was a baseball player in his day. You will not often find a wrestling article on the MLB reports, but baseball and wrestling is not a combination that is found every day.
A car accident claimed the life of Randy Savage today in Tampa, Florida. Driving in his 2009 Jeep Wrangler, Savage apparently lost control of the jeep and struck a tree in a single-car accident. According to Savage's brother, Lanny Poffo, the Macho Man had a heart attack while behind the wheel of his vehicle. A second generation wrestler, with famed wrestler Angelo Poffo as his father, Savage's brother Lanny Poffo was a wrestler as well under the stage names "Leaping Lanny Poffo" and "The Genius".
A little known fact about the now deceased Randy Savage was that prior to becoming a wrestler, he actually was a baseball player! A switch-hitter, Savage was born Randy Poffo before changing his name as part of his wrestling persona. Randy Poffo was drafted and came up with the Cardinals organization in 1971 after playing college ball with Southern Illinois University. Poffo played as well in the Reds and White Sox organizations prior to retiring from baseball in 1974. An outfielder, an injured right shoulder and a weak offensive bat was the end of Poffo's baseball career. A career .232 hitter in parts of four minor league seasons, Poffo also had 16 career home runs. Imagine if Poffo the baseball player had stayed healthy and gone on to the major leagues. The Macho Man might have never come to be. But baseball did not prove to be in the cards and Poffo ended up discovering that in life, as one door closes, another one opens. Poffo/Savage started wrestling in 1973 during the baseball offseason and upon retirement, went on to become a wrestler full time-until retiring from the ring in 2005.
Randy Savage/Poffo is survived by his wife Lynn, whom he married just over a year ago on May 10, 2010. The Macho Man will forever be remembered for his wrestling exploits and "heel" image as a championship caliber wrestler. But before he was dropping elbows from the top rope and selling slim jims, let's remember today as well Randy Poffo: the baseball player. Very few athletes are known to have made the transition from the diamond to the squared circle and Randy Poffo/Savage was one of them. You can find Randy Poffo's lifetime baseball statistics courtesy of baseball reference by clicking here. As an 80's and 90's wrestling legend, Randy Savage was taken from this world much too soon. It was a pleasure watching him grapple as a youngster and for those who admired and worshipped the Macho Man, always remember that your hero got his sports entertainment start playing America's favorite pastime and the greatest sport in the world: baseball.

The carriage horses of Central Park have been enduring the beginnings of another long, harsh winter. After years of trying to reform the industry, the time has come for New York City to turn the page, and finally embrace safer, more humane alternatives to the horse-drawn carriages.
London, Paris, Las Vegas, Toronto and Beijing -- New York City's chief rivals for tourism -- have all banned horse-drawn carriages in recent years, and with good reason. Our city's carriage horses work strenuous hours throughout the week and unlike the horses that plied the park a hundred years ago, today's horses travel on hard asphalt roads that wear down and damage their feet (ironically, many runners prefer the park's "bridle path" to avoid this problem themselves). A damaged foot means a carriage horse can't work, which puts it at risk of being sold off to highest bidder. As you might guess, there aren't a lot of happy endings.
Beyond these concerns, horse drawn carriages bring with them a whole set of practical problems that need to be considered. The pace of the carriages slows down traffic in the already-congested streets of our city, while animal waste that is often not picked up creates a public health and sanitation problem.
And because of the array of stimuli -- noise, trucks, buses, and cabs -- bombarding the horses, they can sometimes react in unpredictable ways, causing crashes and injuries to the drivers and pedestrians in the area. Late last year a horse traveling up Seventh Avenue was grazed by a passing bus. Frightened out of its wits, the horse brought traffic to a standstill. And earlier last year, a spooked horse ran across Central Park South against the traffic and sideswiped several cars before crashing.
There are better solutions out there. The City Council is currently considering legislation, Intro. 86, that would phase out horse drawn carriages while transitioning to electric cars that will provide a 21st century version of the traditional charming ride around Central Park. Passing this bill would enable the city to show a better face to the millions that pass through Central Park every year, while preserving a quintessential New York City experience and the jobs that come with it. And it is critical that if this legislation is passed we make sure that carriage drivers are trained to use the new electric so no jobs are lost.
We should not wait for the next exposé on horses being mistreated, or the next crash that leaves a New Yorker injured or worse. It's time for New Yorkers to rally around a safer, more humane alternative to the horse and carriage.

99Vidas (Portuguese for "99 Lives") is a retro-styled side-scrolling beat 'em up video game developed and published by Brazilian studio QuByte Interactive. It was first released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux in late 2016, followed by PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2017. A Nintendo Switch version was released in November 2018.

Gameplay
99Vidas is a side-scrolling beat 'em up initially featuring six playable characters. Five more unlocked through multiple play sessions, bringing the total number of playable characters to 11. It features cooperative and competitive game modes, for up to four players, which can be played either locally or online.

Each character has unique attributes such as speed and strength, as well as an elemental alignment (fire, water, wind, lightning, et al.), which dictates the quality of their attacks, combos and special moves. Characters gain experience points by defeating enemies and collecting special items which can then be used by the player to upgrade their abilities and combos, or to unlock new ones.

The campaign and survival modes can be played solo or by up to four players cooperatively. In campaign mode, players progress through the story together, while in survival, they face unending waves of enemies, with a limited number of lives and ever-increasing difficulty, the objective being attaining high scores, which are posted to an arcade-style leaderboard. In versus mode, two to four players can play head-to-head competitive matches, where the last one standing wins.

Plot
99Vidas is set in an anachronistic fictional universe inspired by 1980s and 1990s pop culture and video game aesthetic. The story starts as an artifact known as 99Vidas goes missing. This artifact is believed to hold such great power it is a menace to the very existence of the universe, should it ever fall into the wrong hands. Players play as "guardians" of 99Vidas, heroes with elemental powers whose duty it is to protect the artifact.

Development
Development of the game started in early 2015 as a joint project by game studio QuByte Interactive and Brazilian gaming podcast 99Vidas, its namesake.  Producer Marivaldo Cabral told IGN Brazil that the idea was to make a beat 'em up game that blended classic mechanics and aesthetics of the genre with more modern gameplay elements. Stated influences and inspirations included late 1980s and 1990s titles such as Double Dragon, Final Fight, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage.

A demo was developed, using Unity featuring hand-drawn sprites and sound samples to emulate a 16-bit look and feel. Following its free release, a campaign was set up on Brazilian crowdfunding website Catarse in July 2015. The game raised 127 thousand Brazilian reais over the following two months, surpassing its initial goal of R$80,000 for the development on PC. This enabled the development of console ports for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Xbox One.

The game was approved on Steam Greenlight in September 2015 and subsequently released on the Steam digital marketplace on December 22, 2016. On July 18, 2017, 99Vidas was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. A Nintendo Switch port was released on November 27, 2018.

Downloadable content
99Vidas received downloadable content called "The Last Battle". It adds new levels, enemies and more. In total, 2 new levels, 3 new enemies and 15 image filters were added. The content is available for both single player and multiplayer game modes, both local and online, and was released only for the PlayStation 4.

Bob Mould, one of the most influential artists from '80s punk with Hüsker Dü, has a new solo album, Beauty and Ruin. It builds on his last two albums, Life and Times (2009) and 2012's Silver Age (2012), using the same rhythm section of Jason Narducy on bass and Jon Wurster of Superchunk on drums. Since making an excursion into club music with Modulate in 2002, Mould has gotten back into the three-piece guitar driven format that is his forte. It's the sound he also used in the '90s with Sugar. Mould may have said much in his 2011 autobiography, See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody, but he's saved a lot for us today.

Guided tours can be rather hit or miss at times. It's a bit stifling to be herded around in a big group but then on the other hand, if you get a great tour guide then you suddenly get an incredible opportunity to learn about things that you wouldn't ordinarily ever educate yourself on.
And that's what happened last weekend: I went on a Street Art Tour of Brick Lane and Shoreditch - an area I'm not terribly familiar with and I came back with an immense of interest and respect for street artists. What boggles my mind is how these artists share their work for free for everyone to view, knowing there is no longevity or permanence to their work - for it could be wiped out or drawn over the next day. Yet the fact that some of these stay and become famous icons and landmarks that have lasted on buildings and walls for years shows the strength of this art form and the support and appreciation from the community in the area.
The tour was run by Alternative London and was quite unique in the sense that you could book in it advance for free. At the end of the tour, you can pay how much ever you want. Our tour guide was a street artist called Ben Slow and since he gave an awesome enlightening two and half hour tour, it wasn't very hard for us to reach into our pockets and pay him. We paid £20 for two people.
I highly recommend going for it if you'd like to learn more about street art or if simply you'd like to learn more about the East End. Also, it's a fun thing to do if you're showing a visitor around London.

Hundreds of newborns need antibiotics for tuberculosis after Santa Clara Valley Medical Center employee tests positive
A South Bay hospital says hundreds of newborn babies might have been exposed to tuberculosis after an employee who worked in the infant care center tested positive.Santa Clara Valley Medical Center employees spent much of the day Friday calling and sending out hundreds of letters to patients, advising them they may have been exposed to TB.Hospital officials are also saying, as a precaution, babies who were in the hospital's Mother & Infant Care Center between mid-August and mid-November of this year will need antibiotics.Dr. Stephen Harris told NBC Bay Area an employee who worked in the infant care unit tested positive for the bacteria that attacks the lungs."She was not even coughing," Harris said. "It was unlikely she was highly contagious."Eight-hundred people, including 350 newborns, might have been exposed to the employee, who is now on leave, according to the hospital.Adults can be tested for TB, but babies can't."With babies, we need to be more cautious because the disease is more serious," Harris said.To prevent infection, Harris is recommending all 350 newborns be treated with antibiotics for the next six months, as a precaution."Because the babies have an immature immune system, the bacteria can get into their bloodstream. From the bloodstream it can go everywhere in the body, including the brain," Harris said.At this point, no positive TB tests have been linked to the employee, and hospital staff says they are taking every precaution."We've decided to do chest x-rays and treatment for these babies to protect them from potentially getting tuberculosis," Harris said.It's not clear why the employee was allowed to work with TB.

(NBC BAY AREA) —
A South Bay hospital says hundreds of newborn babies might have been exposed to tuberculosis after an employee who worked in the infant care center tested positive.
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center employees spent much of the day Friday calling and sending out hundreds of letters to patients, advising them they may have been exposed to TB.
Hospital officials are also saying, as a precaution, babies who were in the hospital's Mother & Infant Care Center between mid-August and mid-November of this year will need antibiotics.
Dr. Stephen Harris told NBC Bay Area an employee who worked in the infant care unit tested positive for the bacteria that attacks the lungs.
"She was not even coughing," Harris said. "It was unlikely she was highly contagious."
Eight-hundred people, including 350 newborns, might have been exposed to the employee, who is now on leave, according to the hospital.
Adults can be tested for TB, but babies can't.
"With babies, we need to be more cautious because the disease is more serious," Harris said.
To prevent infection, Harris is recommending all 350 newborns be treated with antibiotics for the next six months, as a precaution.
"Because the babies have an immature immune system, the bacteria can get into their bloodstream. From the bloodstream it can go everywhere in the body, including the brain," Harris said.
At this point, no positive TB tests have been linked to the employee, and hospital staff says they are taking every precaution.

We're writing about gastro, food and the online reservation software CentralPlanner.
Many people in the restaurant industry do not trust partnership programs. That is too bad because some of them offer great ways to increase the tip with little work. Those affiliate programs are worthwhile for restaurant owners and every one who knows the catering industry.
You want to part with your old reservation book and switch to a reservation software. The problem: There are so many providers. We have five tips you should consider before deciding on a booking software for your restaurant.
The benches are made from recycled cans. The lamps are made from recycled paper. It sounds like an alternative hippie café but it is an high-class organic restaurant instead. "Bistro Bardot" and "Hotel Almodóvar" in Berlin offer quality and luxury in a very special way.
One truck, two cooks, and many colourful Burgers - Ulrich Glemnitz and Mario Binder quit their jobs about a year ago and got into the food truck business. Apparently successfully: the concept is going well. Now they want to open a restaurant.
Alaaf - you have never heard this expression? It is the typical greeting during the carnival in Cologne, the so called "fifth season" of the year. It begins on November 11th at 11:11 am and ends with a one week festival full of parties and parades. An event that effects the local gastronomy immensely.
If your restaurant appears in a list of Google search results, it will be in a brief description, a so-called snippet. What is in the snippet is important as it is the first criterion for the reader and determines whether they will click on the result or not.
Up until now, the affirmation mails for the online reservations had the title of the reservation system. In order to have the guests understand the mails as your service, we have deleted the name CentralPlanner as much as possible.
Since the beginning of the year, our reservation book has the new name CentralPlanner. Since today, a first few new innovations are available for all users.
You can still use the search of the reservation book to search for guests, phone numbers or memos and quickly go to those. If you have entered the old town festival into a day memo, you can quickly jump to that day by searching for "old town festival".
The change from traditional reservation books made out of paper to computer based reservation books has been taking place for a few years now. More and more businesses that use reservations – e.g. restaurants or fitness centers – realize the advantages of a modern reservation book.

Event raises Wong-a for UNICEF
A Science Oxford event aimed at inspiring people to eat better has also helped raise over £700 for UNICEF – the world's leading organisation working for children in danger.
In November 2017 we welcomed James Wong, Kew-trained botanist, science writer and broadcaster, to Oxford to talk about his new book "How to Eat Better" in collaboration with the University of Oxford Botanic Garden. The evening took place at the Maths Institute at the University of Oxford, and attracted nearly 140 people. At James' request, profits from ticket sales for the talk went to UNICEF.
Our foodie events are always popular and this one was no exception. James stripped away the fad diets and superfood fixations to give a straight-talking scientist's guide to the tastiest way to choose, store and prepare fruits and vegetables. Science Oxford event officer Rowena Fletcher-Wood, who helped to organise the event, said: "James champions real food – even when it's processed or wrapped in plastic. For example, he revealed that broccoli is most nutritious after being frozen and stored in plastic. The plastic keeps in the chemical compounds produced when it ages, letting it mature naturally, without losing nutrients or going off too fast."
Our audience loved James' passion for food and eating better and the feedback afterwards was excellent; "James' energy and enthusiasm for his subject were infectious," said one visitor. "It opens one's mind to cooking and storing food," said another.
But best of all is the fact that we've been able to raise so much money for UNICEF.
You can buy James' book online here.

Significant Help Reportedly On The Way For Those Who Got Sick After 9/11
Filed Under:9/11 compensation list, 9/11 first responders, 911, Dr. John Howard, Glenn Schuck, Ground Zero, John Feal, September 11th, September 11th terrorist attacks, Zadroga Act
First Responders Rally Near Ground Zero/file (credit: Getty Images)
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The 11th anniversary of 9/11 is just two days away, and now help may finally be on the way for those who got sick after the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Cancer being covered by the Zadroga Act was approved in June, but was then held up. But the federal government will announce that about 50 types of cancer will be added to the 9/11 compensation list, the New York Post reported, and that the funds will finally be distributed.
1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck reports https://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2012/09/9-11-3schuck-w40-soc-mcmorrow-wgeis.mp3
9/11 first responder advocate John Feal said that if indeed dozens of forms of cancer join the list of covered illnesses, the credit goes to Dr. John Howard, who he said investigated the link between Ground Zero toxins and cancer.
"Adding cancer to the bill after three years, we're ahead of the curve," Feal told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck. "Normally cancer studies take 10, 15, 20, 30 years. Dr. Howard, when he adds cancer to the bill, it's way ahead of the curve. After three years? That's outstanding, that's monumental. And it's going to help thousands of men and women (in) uniform and non-uniform."
Though this would be a major victory for hundreds of 9/11-related families, Feal said that the fight is just beginning.
"We have to go back to Congress in the Fall and ask them to keep the bill open for more than five years," Feal said. "We want a 20-year bill. Hypothetically, if somebody gets compensated in year three for their cancer, what happens to a different person who gets the same cancer in year nine and they don't? It's unjust, and we have to continue to work together as a unified group of people who are sick and dying."
Feal, who is a firefighter, said that the addition to the Zadroga Act is too late for hundreds who have already died after being exposed at Ground Zero.
Could be a life-changing announcement for those who got sick after the attacks. Sound off with your thoughts and comments below…

As Pastor of the New Horizon Missionary Baptist Church I would like to personally welcome you to this website. I am very excited that you took time out to visit us. As a Church family we stand tall on two of my favorite scriptures and I hope that you become as excited about them as we are.
Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
As Christians we must always be mindful that the Word of God is true. We must continue to pray, seek the wisdom of God and to conduct ourselves as becometh the saints of God. Please continue to visit our website and feel free to visit us when you have a chance!


This level is straightforward but hard. You have to get 99 spooce to unlock the spooce lock, but the paramites chase after you and can quickly overwhelm you. Drink the expresso and take Munch quickly across while collecting lots of spooce. Then get Abe to get any remaining sprooce and once you have enough go to the end and unlock the door and go step on the exit pads.
(note: if you are trying to get the hoppin mad trophy, have Abe drink Expresso and then pick up Munch to quickly get across and get any remaining spooce you need once Munch is on the other side.

We have developed a method for assembling genetic pathways for expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our pathway assembly method, called VEGAS (Versatile genetic assembly system), exploits the native capacity of S. cerevisiae to perform homologous recombination and efficiently join sequences with terminal homology. In the VEGAS workflow, terminal homology between adjacent pathway genes and the assembly vector is encoded by 'VEGAS adapter' (VA) sequences, which are orthogonal in sequence with respect to the yeast genome. Prior to pathway assembly by VEGAS in S. cerevisiae, each gene is assigned an appropriate pair of VAs and assembled using a previously described technique called yeast Golden Gate (yGG). Here we describe the application of yGG specifically to building transcription units for VEGAS assembly as well as the VEGAS methodology. We demonstrate the assembly of four-, five- and six-gene pathways by VEGAS to generate S. cerevisiae cells synthesizing β-carotene and violacein. Moreover, we demonstrate the capacity of yGG coupled to VEGAS for combinatorial assembly.

The day before the Amish wedding is performed, married couples in the Amish community assist the bride in preparing the food for the wedding celebration. This is one of the few days where the Amish men assist the women in the kitchen. On the day of the Amish wedding, everyone gathers at the bride's home and an early morning church service is held where the couple will exchange their vows. Divorce is not allowed in an Amish community, so the importance of the union and the ceremony is made very clear to the parties involved. The Amish wedding ceremony usually involves the church minister counseling the young couple, making sure they understand the permanence of the ceremony, hymnals are sung, scriptures are read, and a long sermon is usually conducted. The Amish couple is then asked to make their vows, the couple is blessed, and a final prayer is said to end the ceremony.
After the ceremony, around noontime, the party and feasting begins. Typical Amish wedding day meals include roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, salads, creamed celery, cheese, bologna, bread, butter, honey, jelly, fruits, pudding, cakes, pies, and ice cream.  Tables are set up around the perimeter of the largest room in the Amish home and a special table, called an Eck, is set up in the corner for the bridal party. The Amish bride sits to the left of her Amish groom, symbolizing where she will sit in their marriage buggy. The single Amish women of the community will sit on the bride's side of the room and the single Amish men will sit on the groom's side. The couples' parents and siblings will typically sit together in the kitchen.
After this first meal, the rest of the afternoon will usually involve talking, singing, and game playing. Sometimes an Amish wedding celebration is used as an opportunity for matchmaking between teenagers who are over the age of 16 and are assigned specific seats before the evening meal in order to bring them closer together. Very few gifts are given to a newly married Amish couple at their wedding. Usually just the closest family members or friends provide the couple with practical gifts, such as Amish quilts, tablecloths, canned foods, or farming tools. A second meal is served around sundown where the bride, groom, and their parents now sit in the middle of the room at the main table and the same type of food is served again. Most Amish wedding celebrations usually go on late into the night.
The newlywed Amish couple will then spend their first night in the bride's home in order to help with the cleanup the next morning. The Amish do not go on honeymoons, but they do spend the next several months spending the night or weekend with different Amish family members on both sides of the family in order to get to know each other. It is during this time that the Amish couple may receive gifts, such as dishes, cookware, or other household items that will be useful to them in their new lives together. The couple then will live with the Amish bride's family for the rest of the winter and will begin setting up their new marital home in the spring. The Amish bride's family will usually provide the new couple a dowry which might include major appliances and the household furnishings. Other items will be given to them over the winter by other family members and all of the acquired household items will be used to furnish the Amish couple's new home.

De Bovenste Molen van Hulsen was een watermolen in de buurtschap Hulsen in het Nederlands-Limburgse dorp Geulle. De watermolen stond tussen de plaatsen Moorveld en Snijdersberg in het Bunderbos, onderdeel van het Bunder- en Elslooërbos. De molen maakte gebruik van het water van het riviertje de Molenbeek, die vroeger Walsenbeek werd genoemd. Stroomafwaarts ligt nog een molen, die logischerwijs met de naam Onderste Molen van Hulsen werd aangeduid.

Geschiedenis
Reeds in de 16e eeuw bestond de watermolen.

Voor de Franse tijd was de watermolen een banmolen van de heerlijkheid Geulle.

Aan het einde van de 19e eeuw werd de molen niet meer vermeld omdat hij toen waarschijnlijk al afgebroken was.

Kenmerken
De Bovenste Molen was een bovenslagmolen die in 1854 een rad met een middellijn had van vier meter en een breedte van 71 centimeter.
