Daily Scripture Readings and Meditations: What the Kingdom of Heaven Is Like
Fr. Jerry Pokorsky: Models of Political Meddling by Clerics
Saint of the Day for July 27: Blessed Antonio Lucci (Aug. 2, 1682 – July 25, 1752)
Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word
GOSPEL READING: Matthew 13:31-35
31 Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; 32 it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." 33 He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened." 34 All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."
Meditation: What can mustard seeds and leaven teach us about the kingdom of God? The tiny mustard seed literally grew to be a tree which attracted numerous birds because they loved the little black mustard seed it produced. God's kingdom works in a similar fashion. It starts from the smallest beginnings in the hearts of men and women who are receptive to God's word. And it works unseen and causes a transformation from within.
Hidden power of transforming seeds and leaven
Leaven is another powerful agent of change. A lump of dough left to itself remains just what it is, a lump of dough. But when the leaven is added to it a transformation takes place which produces rich and wholesome bread when heated – the staple of life for humans.
God's word has power to transforms us
The kingdom of God produces a transformation in those who receive the new life which Jesus Christ offers. When we yield our lives to Jesus Christ and allow his word to take root in our heart, we are transformed and made holy by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. Paul the Apostle says, "we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us" (2 Corinthians 4:7). Do you believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit?
Heavenly Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and transform me into the Christ-like holiness you desire. Increase my zeal for your kingdom and instill in me a holy desire to live for your greater glory.
Psalm 145:8-9,15-18
8 The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.
15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season.
16 You open your hand, you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: A small seed produces a great tree, by John Chrysostom (347-407 AD)
"Therefore he brought forward the similitude of this herb, which has a very strong resemblance to the kingdom of heaven. It indeed is 'the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.'
Thus he meant to set forth the most decisive sign of its greatness. 'Even so then shall it also be with respect to the gospel,' he says. For his disciples were weakest of all and least of all. Nevertheless, because of the great power that was in them, it has grown and been unfolded in every part of the world." (excerpt from the THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW, HOMILY 46.2)

In 1978, five friends set out for home from a basketball game. The next day, their car was discovered in a lonely mountain road. The next spring, their bodies began to turn up. What happened that night remains a mystery to this day.

Mace warns Brexit could wipe out 'wafer thin' margins in construction
By Alan Tovey, Industry Editor 3 September 2019 • 5:53pm
Mace has worked on projects including Heathrow's Terminal 5
Wafer-thin margins in construction could be wiped out by a no-deal Brexit, causing upheaval in the industry, one of the sector's biggest players has warned.
Mace, the contractor that delivered projects including venues for the 2012 Olympics and Heathrow's Terminal 5, sounded the warning as it posted record annual turnover.
"We are facing challenging economic times that contribute to market uncertainty [and] construction remains a low margin sector," said finance chief Dennis Hone. "That means the industry is not well placed to deal with the challenge of Brexit."
The privately owned company posted a 19pc rise in revenues to £2.35bn for 2018. Pre-tax profit fell 8pc to £32.8m after being boosted by an accounting gain the previous year.
Mark Reynolds, chief executive, said that in an "absolute worst case Brexit", delays importing building materials from Europe could easily wipe out profits in a sector where he admitted margins were "wafer thin".
"On our £1.2bn UK building programme, each week of delay would cost us £2m a week in the worst outcome," he said. "That would wipe out our 1.4pc margin."
Mark Reynolds, chief executive of Mace
Mr Reynolds said the company is working with suppliers to build in two to three weeks of extra lead time into deliveries of imported materials. Only about 6pc of materials are yet to be covered by the system.
Mace is strengthened by several hundred million of revenue from consultancy work, giving it resilience that many other construction groups lack.
However, Brexit could push up costs in the industry and tip less profitable companies over the edge, Mr Reynolds feared.
Brexit could also put pressure on labour in the construction industry, he added. "We have 11,000 people working on sites and 50pc of them are foreign, 20pc from the EU. Right now I've been startled not to have seen a drip-feed in them leaving, though this could change."
Tuesday's confirmation from Transport Secretary Grant Shapps that the HS2 rail link - which Mace is working on - will be delayed by up to five years was "no surprise", Mr Reynolds said. "The delay is realistic - this is a project almost 10 times as big as the 2012 Olympics. It's enormously complex and we have to get it right."
However, he cautioned against killing it altogether as the expected price has spiralled by £22bn to £80bn. "The economic benefits it could from deliver could be far more than the cost."

BMW To Buy Microchips Directly From Suppliers
Alex Tock, December 9, 2021 December 13, 2021 , BMW News
The BMW Group has entered into a trilateral agreement with U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries and Munich-based Inova Semiconductors, a microchip developer, to source chips for the iX and other upcoming BMW models. The move represents the strengthening of relations between an automaker and non-first-tier suppliers, and comes at a crucial time when demand for semiconductors, specifically for automotive applications, is at an all time high and expected to grow over the long term.
According to BMW, semiconductors are considered to be of strategic importance, and the agreement is representative of the company's intent to promote supply chain resilience, regain supply-demand balance, and to foster innovation. The chips sourced from the agreement are specifically used for intelligent smart embedded LED (ISELED) technology, which is being introduced on the iX and is to be used in upcoming models.
"We are deepening our partnership with suppliers at key points in the supplier network and synchronising our capacity planning directly with semiconductor manufacturers and developers. This improves planning reliability and transparency around the volumes needed for everyone involved and secures our needs for the long term," explained Dr. Andreas Wendt, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for purchasing and supplier network. "This pioneering agreement marks the next logical step in securing our supplies in an even more balanced and proactive manner going forward."
GlobalFoundries is headquartered in Malta, New York and was founded in 2009 as the result of the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of AMD. The company employs a staff of 15,000 and was owned by the Mubadala Investment Company until it went public on the Nasdaq in late-October 2021.
"GlobalFoundries is committed to building stronger relationships with the automotive industry to deliver innovation and address the growing demand for feature-rich chips," said Mike Hogan, senior vice president and general manager of automotive, industrial, and multi-market at GlobalFoundries. "This supply assurance agreement with the BMW Group and Inova demonstrates how the companies are partnering to develop innovative smart LED technology for the new BMW iX and to develop new technologies for the car of tomorrow."
Founded in 1999, Inova Semiconductors is based in Munich, Germany and produces ISELED technology used for applications such as dynamic ambient lighting, LCD panel backlighting, external lighting, welcome lighting, and logo lighting, among more.
"This agreement directly with an OEM certainly marks new territory for us as a semiconductor manufacturer," says Robert Kraus, CEO of Inova Semiconductors. "But we firmly believe this innovative approach to partnership throughout the production chain will help us achieve our objectives: In this way, we can secure supplies for our end customers and ensure high planning reliability throughout the long chip production cycles. It's a real win-win."—Alex Tock

Q: How to configure log4net with VS 2015 for an Integration Test? I am working on an Integration Test for a REST Endpoint that connects to a vendors Rest Api on a hardware device.  My software has to be tested on the physical device periodically.  I created a test project (VSTest VS 2015) and I want to add logging to my test harness.  I realize that there is a tremendous amount of documentation on log4net, but I still can't make it work.  My goal is to log to the console and also to a file.  The vendor wants a log file to validate that my tests completed.
First, I initialize log4net to read a standalone file.
using log4net.Config;
using log4net;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace MyProgram
{
    [TestClass]
    public class AssemblyInitializer
    {
        private static ILog log = null;

        [AssemblyInitialize]
        public static void Configure(TestContext Context)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Starting log4net setup and configuration");

            XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo("log4net.properties"));
            log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(AssemblyInitializer));
            log.Debug("log4net initialized for Integration Test");

            Debug.WriteLine("Completed log4net setup and configuration");

        }
    }
}

My log4net.properties file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<log4net>
    <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionpattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger{1} - %message%newline"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
        <file value="IntegrationTests.log" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG">
            <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender"/>
            <appender-ref ref="FileAppender"/>
        </level>
    </root>
</log4net>
</configuration>

I don't think the Test Explorer reads the Assembly.Info file, but I included a reference just in case.
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = false)]

I have tried just about everything I can think of.  I am out of ideas.  Any help would be appreciated.

A: The code below works.  It is not the same implementation, but I am getting both loggers to work.  See my above comments.  I believe that the log file was either in an unknown location, or I should have accessed a repository along the way.  The following code works great and initializes before my tests are run, and logs my test results as needed.
using log4net;
using log4net.Config;
using log4net.Repository.Hierarchy;
using log4net.Core;
using log4net.Appender;
using log4net.Layout;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace MyProgram
{
    [TestClass]
    public class AssemblyInitializer
    {

        private static ILog log = null;

        [AssemblyInitialize]
        public static void Configure(TestContext Context)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Starting log4net setup and configuration");

            Hierarchy hierarchy = (Hierarchy)LogManager.GetRepository();
            hierarchy.Root.RemoveAllAppenders();

            PatternLayout patternLayout = new PatternLayout();
            patternLayout.ConversionPattern = "%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline";
            patternLayout.ActivateOptions();

            FileAppender fileAppender = new FileAppender();
            fileAppender.Name = "Integration Test FileAppender";
            fileAppender.File = @"Logs\IntegrationTest.log";
            fileAppender.AppendToFile = false;
            fileAppender.Layout = patternLayout;
            fileAppender.ActivateOptions();
            hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(fileAppender);

            ConsoleAppender consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
            consoleAppender.Name = "Integration Test ConsoleAppender";
            consoleAppender.Target = Console.Out.ToString();
            consoleAppender.ActivateOptions();
            consoleAppender.Layout = patternLayout;
            hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(consoleAppender);

            hierarchy.Root.Level = Level.Debug;
            hierarchy.Configured = true;

            log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(AssemblyInitializer));
            log.Debug("log4net initialized for Integration Test");

            Debug.WriteLine("Completed log4net setup and configuration");

        }
    }
}

A: I'm going to expand on my comment.  Because Log4Net drove me insane too.
This is all that's in my App.config in my Test project for NLog.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
    <section name="nlog" type="NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog"/>
  </configSections>
  <appSettings>
  </appSettings>
  <nlog autoReload="true"
        throwExceptions="true"
        internalLogLevel="Debug" internalLogFile="c:\temp\nlog-test.log" >
    <targets>
      <target type="Console" name="console" error="true"/>
    </targets>
    <rules>
      <logger name="*" writeTo="console" />
    </rules>
  </nlog>
</configuration>

You define a target which is a destination for logging and then specify which loggers write to that target.
They want you to use the LoggingManger to create a logger (a source) for every class you want to log from.  But I just wrapped a single logger in a static class and  created some pass-thru methods.  You lose some details that the logger could automatically capture for you (e.g. the exact site of the logging call), but I usually have sufficent detail in the message I'm writing to log.

Nlog is on Github https://github.com/NLog/NLog.   Log4Net is still svn.   That tells me something.
There also some nice Windows forms targets for Nlog available on NuGet.

A free festival to celebrate local Jacobite hero and Gaelic poet, John Roy Stuart, was held in the summer of 2007 as part of Highland Council's Year of Culture.
A big thank-you to all those who participated over the weekend! The photogallery shows a selection from the day's events.
The John Roy Stuart Festival (Fèis Iain Ruaidh) was held at the Hayfield, Glenmore, near Aviemore, on 18th & 19th August, 2007.
John Roy Stuart was a great swordsman, poet, piper and charismatic leader in the 1745 Rising. He was involved in all the Rising battles and, after Culloden, he hid for months in Glenmore, having many close encounters with the Redcoats, before escaping to France.
The festival included displays by the re-enactment group 'Glenbucket's Highland Regiment. An 18th century 'village' was re-created, with local craftworkers demonstrating their skills. Storytelling and music from the children of Fèis Spè added to the event.
The evening saw a cèilidh in a marquee at the Hayfield. Gaelic singer, Ishbel MacAskill, storyteller, Essie Stewart were amongst those taking part.
On Sunday 19th there was a walk to the summit of Cairngorm to unfurl the modern replica of the 'Green Banner of Kincardine'. According to legend, this was done by John Roy's standard bearer on the anniversary of the Raising of the Standard at Glenfinnan.
This event was supported by Highland 2007, Cairngorms LEADER+ Programme from European Structural Funds and V.A.B.S / HIE Inverness & East Highland Enterprise with support in kind from Forestry Commission Scotland, Highland Council and Rothiemurchus and Glenmore Community Association.

Q: Using GeckoDriverManager().install() to run tests in Firefox I have the following code to run tests in various browsers. Chrome of course works correctly on the machine I am wanting to run these tests on, however, Firefox, IE, and Edge do not. Is this the right way to go about this? I would prefer not to have to have a file I have to download and change every couple of months when the browsers update.
    def __init__(self, browser: str = TESTING_BROWSER, home: str = BASE_URL):
    """Hooray for inits."""
    if browser.lower() == "ie":
        webdriver.Ie.__init__(self, IEDriverManager().install())
    elif browser.lower() == 'edge':
        webdriver.Edge().__init__(self, EdgeDriverManager().install())
    elif browser.lower() == "firefox":
        webdriver.Firefox.__init__(self, GeckoDriverManager().install())
    else:
        chrome_options = Options()
        if os.environ.get('RUN_HEADLESS') == 'True':
            chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
            chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
            chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
            webdriver.Chrome.__init__(self, ChromeDriverManager().install(), chrome_options=chrome_options)
        else:
            webdriver.Chrome.__init__(self, ChromeDriverManager().install())

As a side note when I try and run Firefox, I am getting the following error:
NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/Users/me/.wdm/geckodriver/v0.24.0/macos/geckodriver'

I have tried adding executable_path=path to geckodriver and that is not working either.

A: So RTD wins again:
webdriver.Firefox.__init__(self, executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())
For those interested, the documentation to webdriver_manager is here

Home > Evening Book > Extraordinary Preservation Of Life Under Snow
Extraordinary Preservation Of Life Under Snow
The following event, which occurred during the remarkably hard winter of 1708-9, is recorded on the most unquestionable authority. A poor woman in Somersetshire, England, having been to a neigh-boring village to sell her yarn, in her return home fell so very ill that she was forced to take refuge in a small house by the way-side, and it being towards evening, she desired the people that they would let her sit by the fire during the night. This was denied. She left the house, and feeling very ill, laid herself down under a hedge. It snowed very hard; and in a little time she was almost covered by it. At last one of her neighbors came by, who asked her how she could be so mad as to lie there to be starved. She said her sickness was so violent she could not possibly go further. He then took her up, and bade her try as well as she could, adding, it was not so very far for her to go. She followed him a little way, but unable to persevere, she left him, and laid herself down under the hedge again. She was soon covered with the snow, which was falling very thick. Thus she con-tinned for nearly a week, her neighbors, mean-while, making great inquiries aller her: but no one could give any account except that one man; and he kept silent for tear of a suspicion falling upon him that 1w had made away with her.
During this surprise, a poor woman dreamed, (or rather pretended to have dreamed, the man having, probably, suggested to her this expedient to save his conscience and his neck,) that she lay under a hedge in such a place. Her neighbours immediately vent to the place with sticks, which they forced through the snow; at last one of them thought he heard a groan: upon which he thrust his stick down with more force, which made the woman cry out, "Oh, for God's sake don't kill me." She was taken out, to the astonishment of them all; and was found to have taken great part of her upper garment for sustenance. She told them she had lain very warm, and had slept most part of the time. One of her legs lay just under a bush, so that it was not quite covered with snow, by which it became almost mortified, but (says the contemporary narrator) it is like to do very well. She was very cheerful, and soon walk-ed. She lay under the hedge at least seven days.
In February, 1799, a similar imprisonment in the snow, but attended, ultimately, with more fatal consequences, was the lot of Elizabeth Woodcock, aged 42, between Impington and Cambridge. She was riding from market, when her horse, frightened by a meteor, started; and, running backward, approached the brink of a ditch. She dismounted, and the horse ran from her. She overtook him, and continued leading him, till worn down with fatigue, and under the load of a heavy basket full of her marketings, she addressed the horse: " Tinker, I am too tired to go any further, you must go home without me."
She sat herself down, and was soon covered with snow. Here, in a sort of cavern she was buried alive for eight days. On the morning after her first enclosure, she contrived to break off a stick from the hedge, and tying her handkerchief to it, she thrust it through an opening in the snow. She was certainly sensible all the time, and overheard the conversation of some gypsies, but although she cried as loud as she could, they did not (as they declared) hear her. On the second Sunday, Joseph Muncey, a farmer, on his way home from Cambridge, was drawn to the place by the appearance of the hankerchief, and discovering who it was, went for help. A shepherd who came, said, "Are you there, Elizabeth Woodcock?" She replied, in a feeble, faint voice, Dear John Stittle, I know your voice, for God's sake help me out." Stittle made his way through the snow; she eagerly grasped his hand and said, " I have been here a long time." " Yes," answered he, " since Saturday." " Ay, Saturday week," she replied, "I have heard the bells go two Sundays for church."
She was then taken home, and a most fatal treatment was she subjected to. They gave her strong liquors, and applied poultices of stale beer and oatmeal boiled together. The direct contrary to which, under Providence, would have restored her. She lost her toes; and lingered on till the following July, when she died.
The following remarks deserve the serious attention of every one :—they appear to be founded on the soundest principles. " The application of heat to the human body, after intense cold, is attended with the most dreadful consequences; it always produces extreme pain, and, most frequently, either partial or general mortification of the parts to which the heat is applied. Instead, therefore, of allowing persons who have thus suffered from frost or snow o come near a fire, let the limbs be rubbed well with snow, or, if snow cannot be procured, let them be put into cold water, and afterwards rubbed with flannel for a considerable time. Let the person be kept most cautiously from taking too much or too nutritious food. Spirits also, or wine, should, under no pretence whatever, be given, without being .weakened very much with water. Great attention must be paid to the state of the bowels. The use of opium and camphor is much to be re-commended, though at first the opium should be given in very small portions.

We're celebrating Project BrainSafe's five-year anniversary! We want to share some of Project BrainSafe's highlights and how we contribute to making our community concussion safe.
Concussions have been an area of concern for sports and play for quite some time. However, concussions affect millions of people, not just those participating in sports. Injuries can be from mild to severe and everything in between, with the effects ranging from dizziness, vision changes and foggy thinking, to more long-term complications. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that up to 3.8 million concussions can occur each year in the United States.
Project BrainSafe started as a dream to diagnose concussions earlier and provide more standardized and effective treatment. Fast-forward to today and we've become a community-wide collaborative that includes local medical providers, academic institutions, athletics, community partners and patient advocates who are committed to our cause.
Project BrainSafe's goal is to improve the recognition, diagnosis and management of concussions through raising community awareness, shifting cultural norms, providing education to the community on concussion signs, symptoms and treatment, and promoting best practices for concussion management.
View more resources on the concussions and brain injuries online. Visit brainsafemn.com or facebook or call 320-229-5020 for additional information.
Presented at the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) on community collaboratives.
Completed a research study on community perceptions of concussions which was presented at the 7th Annual Traumatic Brain Injury Conference in Washington, DC. In addition, these findings were accepted for publication in Minnesota Medicine Journal.
Collaborated with concussion providers to establish and disseminate care algorithms for concussion diagnosis and management. Aided in the development of concussion took kits, clinical documentation tools and training to assist providers in their practice.
Provided ImPACT Baseline testing for area schools which aid providers in concussion assessment and management.

Subaru is not among most popular automakers and it has played second fiddle to the likes of Honda and Toyota in both home turf and other countries. However, the company is trying to consolidate its presence in various segments of the automobile industry. While the crossover and SUVs are going to get a revamp, rumors are doing the rounds about Subaru launching a pickup truck in near future. The possibility is not as far-fetched as some people may think. Subaru has not ventured much into this segment, but pickup truck sector is witnessing intense competition of late. Given the fact luxury carmakers like Mercedes Benz are launching their models in it, Subaru may not want to be left out.
Not much is known about the upcoming Subaru Pickup Truck and the company is mum on the topic. The model could be based on several prototypes and architecture types. Some years back, Subaru did offer a pickup truck named Baja. This was a modified version of its Outback crossover. The company may want to re-launch the Baja that became quite popular despite brief lifespan. The all-wheel-drive and open-bed pickup may be used by the brand to re-enter this lucrative segment.
The second possibility is that Subaru may launch a truck version of the much touted VIZIV-7 concept. It was an SUV but launching a truck version is not impossible. The VIZIV-7 has a modern design and developing a truck will enable Subaru to woo the buyers with an enticing design. No matter which architecture is chosen as the base – the company may launch the model in a few trims.
It is not clear which powertrain will be used in the pickup truck to be launched by Subaru. It is possible that the company may use any of the engines used in the latest Outback or Impreza but with suitable optimization. However, launching the model with a turbo diesel unit under the hood is also not impossible. The powertrain will also be equipped with suitable suspension. Towing capacity and payload will be on par with most recent midsized pickups.
The upcoming Subaru Pickup truck is definitely going to be laden with a number of modern safety features. The company has recently upgraded the safety suite in existing models. The amenities will be on par with rival models from stables of Honda and Nissan. You can expect features like a rearview camera, airbags, TPMS and traction control. Some features are likely to be kept optional.
Nothing is confirmed about release date and price of the Subaru pickup. However, it may take a couple of years before it hits the roads. The price should be on par with the RAM 1500 and Honda Ridgeline.
The possibility of Subaru launching a pickup is there. Details are hazy but some rumors are doing the rounds. The company should price the pickup truck carefully given the steep competition and abundance of popular models in the segment.

Home Caribbean Don't eat raw crab meat
Don't eat raw crab meat
The Ministry of Health has issued a call to restaurant owners to avoid offering crab meat to its customers.
If the meat is offered, it should be properly cooked and not served as crab sushi in its raw form.
The warning came from Neil Rampersad, chief public health inspector and Farz Khan, chief chemist and director of the Food and Drug Division, Ministry of Health, during an interview yesterday on the CNC3 Morning Brew programme with host Hema Ramkissoon.
This warning comes two days after the Ministry of Agriculture, in a press release, advised the public to avoid eating crab meat from Venezuela, as the US Food and Drug Agency stated it may be contaminated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus — which is bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans.
The symptoms of the bacteria are diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, nausea, fever and stomach pains. So far, there have been no reported deaths.
Khan said while there are eight importers who bring in crab meat from Venezuela, there was no scientific evidence the bacteria is here.
He said the ministry was not panicking the public but issued the release out of an abundance of caution. Based on the evidence so far, Khan said the warning applies to processed crab meat or crab products packaged and ready for consumption.
"So there is no evidence of the live crabs or unprocessed crabs at this time."
He however, advised crab lovers to examine the condition of the live crabs before purchasing.
Khan said the ministry has already increased surveillance at the ports of entry to ensure that the "food coming in is safe. This would prevent or reduce any contaminant foods entering our borders."
The ministry will beef up its inspectorate to determine if Trinidad has the "organism" here by taking a random sampling of crabs sold at the markets and roadsides to get them tested.
"If it is there (the germ), the actual intervention will take place," Rampersad said.
With crab season in full swing, Rampersad said customers may go after crab sushi at restaurants.
He advised restaurant owners "not to offer crab meat for sale because we are unsure what is in it at this point in time…if the foodstuff has the contaminant. So to prevent any outbreak attributed to this germ, if it is there…take precaution, do not offer it for sale."
He said crab has been a delicacy in T&T for years. If the crab meat is offered, Rampersad advised that the meat should be cooked above 65 degrees Celsius to kill any bacteria that may be present.
The ministry has advised that live crabs should be thoroughly cleaned, washed and cooked before eating.

Q: Mod Rewrite problem I have a problem that I cannot wrap my head around.
I'm using Apache and PHP
I need to get:
http://localhost.com/cat_ap.php?nid=5964
from
http://localhost.com/cat_ap~nid~5964.htm
How do I go about changing that around?  I have done more simple mod rewrites but this is slightly more complicated.  Can anyone give me a leg up or point me in the right direction

A: RewriteRule ^/cat_ap~nid~(.*)\.htm$ /cat_ap?nid=$1 [R]

The [R] at the end is optional. If you omit it, Apache won't redirect your users (it will still serve the correct page).
If the nid part is also a variable, you can try this:
RewriteRule ^/cat_ap~([^~]+)~(.*)\.htm$ /cat_ap?$1=$2 [R]

EDIT: As Ben Blank said in his comment, you might want to restrict the set of valid URLs. For example, you might want to make sure a nid exists, and that it's numerical:
RewriteRule ^/cat_ap~nid~([0-9]+)\.htm$ /cat_ap?nid=$1

or if the nid part is a variable, that it only consists of alphabetical characters:
RewriteRule ^/cat_ap~([A-Za-z]+)~([0-9]+)\.htm$ /cat_ap?$1=$2

A: Assuming the variable parts here are the "nid" and the 5964, you can do:
RewriteRule ^/cat_ap~(.+)~(.+).htm$ ^/cat_ap?$1=$2

The first "(.+)" matches "nid" and the second matches "5964".

A: If you want everything arbitrary:
RewriteRule ^/(\w+)~(\w+)~(\w+)\.htm$ $1?$2=$3 [L]

Where \w is equal to [A-Za-z0-9_]. And if you want to use this rule in a .htaccess file, remove the leading / from the pattern.

Q: Convert matrix 3x3 to 1x27 with bool value Let's assume I have a matrix 3x3 which values are from 0 to 3
[[1,0,0],
 [0,3,0],
 [0,0,2]]

I need it to be converted into 1x27 matrix with 0 or 1 values, so if there value more than 1 it would be 1, otherwise zero
[1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.
 0. 1. 0.]

So far I've tried next, but it's wrong:
def convert(Matr):
  empty = np.zeros(Matr.shape[0]*Matr.shape[0]**2)
    for i in range(Matr.shape[0]):
        for j in range(Matr.shape[1]):
            if Matr[i,j] != 0:
                empty[i][((j+1)* Matr[i,j])-1] = 1

A: You could do the following:
import numpy as np

a = np.array([[1, 0, 0],
              [0, 3, 0],
              [0, 0, 2]])

encoding = np.vstack((np.zeros((1, 3)), np.eye(3)))
result = encoding[a.ravel()].flatten()

print(result)

Output
[1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.
 0. 1. 0.]

The variable encoding is an array, where each row corresponds to a code, for instance:
[[0. 0. 0.]
 [1. 0. 0.]
 [0. 1. 0.]
 [0. 0. 1.]]

Once you create the encodings iterate over each of the rows with encoding[a.ravel()] fetching the encodings for each value.


Mojácar's 9th Healthy Habits Promotion Week was organized by the Town's Council in conjunction with the Northern Almería Sanitary Management Area within the Andalucia Regional Government Health Council.
María Luz Ibarra, a nurse from the Mojácar Medical Centre, along with Juan Francisco Cazorla, care coordinator at Garrucha's UGC, gave a talk at the local Centro de Usos Múltiples about healthy habits to the Town's senior citizens exercise class.
Joined by Mojácar Councillor, Ana García, they were given an interesting presentation on the importance of physical exercise and a healthy diet in all the stages of life, especially in later years.
For Ana García, the care of the elderly is an important part of her Department's work saying, "we try to encourage personal autonomy and prevention of dependency through occupational workshops, collective health education activities, communication and assertiveness courses as well as sociocultural activities and excercise, among others".
The advice on food and the benefits of the Mediterranean diet had a practical demonstration immediately after the conference with a healthy breakfast served to all participants.

Labeled a rightist by the Mao regime, Gao was sent to a labor camp in Chinas harsh western desert, where in just three years 90 percent of his fellow prisoners died. It would be the first of the scholars three convictions for subversive thought and behavior. After his last imprisonment, in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests, Gao and his wife, Maya, escaped to Hong Kong, and in 1993 were offered political asylum by the United States.Epic in scope, reaching from the depths of work ditches in the Gobi Desert to the heights of the Buddhist heavens depicted on the Dunhuang cave ceilings, In Search of My Homeland is a striking portrayal of Gaos experiences of political persecution, of prisoners pushed to the limits of human endurance, and ultimately of the power of hope.
Gaos enormous skill as a writer and insightful observer offers a unique, thoughtful perspective on China in the second half of the twentieth century.Powerful and elegantly written, Gaos work teaches us that freedom is the most important political stand for an artist, to be able to dissent from the dominant ideology--thereby making beauty, both its creation and perception, its ultimate symbol.

BARCLAYS is to replace PwC as its auditor, ending the Big Four firm's 120-year tenure vetting the books of Britain's second-largest bank.
The decision to replace PwC, which has been Barclays' auditor since 1896, was disclosed in the bank's annual report in which it announced that the tender process would begin in 2015 or 2016 with respect to the 2017 or 2018 audit.
PwC is being replaced by the bank in order to comply with EU regulations that will require auditors to be replaced every 20 years, while the UK Competition Commission is implementing rules that will place a ten-year cap on audit tenures.
In its annual report, Barclays suggested it could have tendered this year – transitional guidance issued by the FRC, if applied to Barclays, would suggest a tender for the 2015 audit – but said the audit committee was "particularly conscious of the degree of change impacting the business", including the finance function, as a result of its transformation programme and the "additional strain" that an audit tender and a change of firm would involve.
The audit committee also noted that both the group finance director Tushar Morzaria, and audit committee chairman Mike Ashley, are new in role, with Ashley previously serving as a partner at KPMG.
PwC's audit work at the bank has previously come under scrutiny from the UK's accounting watchdog. In December, the FRC closed its investigation into PwC's conduct as auditors of Barclays Capital Securities after it deemed it unlikely that it would win a tribunal against the firm.
PwC was paid £44m last year by Barclays for its audit and non-audit work on behalf of the bank.

A British Precursor to Snowden Case
Clandestine snooping by the NSA? A member of an intelligence agency leaking secrets to expose the operation? All that's new here is the abundant attention focused on this latest example of the NSA's enormous power to play by whatever rules it establishes — or by no rules at all.
Former British intelligence officer Katharine Gun. (Photo credit: BBC)
By Marcia Mitchell
"It's déjà vu all over again," baseball icon Yogi Berra famously observed, a comment that is eminently appropriate today to Edward Snowden's leak of secret surveillance operations by the National Security Agency. The déjà vu now refers to an earlier leak of the NSA's secrets – before America was taking notice.
Last time around, it was the London Observer revealing NSA's clandestine operation.This time it's the Guardian. British press lighting the stage, illuminating an American cast. Also, entering into the heated, certainly contentious, discussion about the Snowden disclosure is a panoply of concerns. National security versus civil rights, the extent and powers of the Patriot Act, the sharing of secrets, hero versus criminal, whistleblower or leaker. All hot topics.
Here's the déjà vu aspect that deserves our attention: A decade ago, this same powerful agency launched a spy operation against representatives of six members of the UN Security Council in an attempt to convince those members to vote in favor of a U.S.-UK resolution legitimizing the invasion of Iraq.
It doesn't take rocket science to determine just how personal information about the six diplomats could be used to influence their vote to — according to NSA's secret memorandum — "obtain results favorable to US goals." In the ten-year-old case, newspapers worldwide (except in the U.S.) ran banner headlines about "US Dirty Tricks at the UN." Readers wondered about a game of high-stakes blackmail.
Katharine Gun, a British Secret Service officer stationed at GCHQ in Cheltenham, England, received a copy of NSA's invitation to join in the illegal UN Security Council operation, and made the same decision as did Snowden. She leaked the information. She was 27 at the time. Snowden is 29.
Within a matter of weeks, Katharine Gun was arrested for high crime against her country. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair withdrew their controversial war resolution to the UN Security Council, but went to war anyway with a so-called "coalition of the willing."
Later, looking back, Michael Hayden, the NSA's director at the time, told C-SPAN's Brian Lamb that the NSA works only within the confines of the law, within "what's legally permitted." This would not be the only time he would insist that everything the NSA did was in compliance with the law.
But one of the questions that will not go away, especially with the present attention focused on the Snowden case, is what U.S. intelligence can do legally and what it cannot. For the most part, the fact that Hayden's claim is at best controversial and at worst a lie has escaped public notice until now. But not this time, because the media are watching and Snowden is speaking out.
In an extensive interview, Snowden defended his seeking sanctuary in Hong Kong and denied that he was, in fact, defecting to China, which some pundits have called "an enemy of America." China, he observed, is not America's "enemy." The two countries are significant trade partners and are not at war. Apparently, he feels safer in Hong Kong than in the U.S.
Snowden left the country believing he was a target of a vengeful government determined to imprison him for the rest of his life for having leaked NSA secrets. As for questionable Big Brother behavior by intelligence agencies, "It will only get worse until policy changes," he said.
Seeking a paradigm switch, which both protects individual privacy and the nation's security, presents a challenge to all Americans — except for those determined to retain the status quo.
Snowden is right to be concerned about the quality of his future life. Katharine Gun didn't run. After first denying that it was she who leaked the NSA illegal spy operation, she confessed. Married only a few months, she knew at the time that her plans for the future were shattered. After a year awaiting trial, charges against her were dropped the day her trial opened at the Old Bailey. The UK government chose not to argue that the invasion of Iraq was legal, a demand by the Defense.
Still, life for Katharine Gun – after she was granted freedom – has been hard. An expert in Oriental languages and a Mandarin translator at the time of her arrest, she has found it difficult to find and keep employment. For a time, she tried living in another country. She knows that nothing will ever be the same. Yet, she has no regrets.
As she left the courtroom, Katharine Gun's response to questions about why she did what she did were very much like Snowden's. "I only followed my conscience," she said, adding, "I would do it again." This holds today.
Actor Sean Penn put it beautifully in speaking about Katharine Gun: "It was a decision of conscience in a world where nobody celebrates that. She will go down in history as a hero of the human spirit."
But ex-Prime Minister Blair saw Gun differently, and would likely see Snowden through the same lens. Blair said: "We are going to be in a very dangerous situation as a country if people feel they can simply spill out secrets or details of security operations, whether false or true, and get away with it."
For Snowden, time will tell what "getting away with it" really means.

Sending multiple audio files will get simpler as WhatsApp is working to improve the Audio Picker, a section for sharing audio files. Post the new update, the new section will have the ability to add as many as 30 audio files at once. Users will also be able to preview the audio files before sending them to their contacts. This is a major update considering the fact that WhatsApp presently allows users to send only one audio file at a time.
The redesigned audio section could be the next major update after the Facebook owned app brought the picture-in-picture mode to the masses. The new redesigned section will list all available audio files stored in your phone. The user will be able to play the audio before sending it, and it is also possible to select more than one audio files. There could also be a preview of album art associated with the listed audio files.
The feature is still under development and will be made available in the future. WABetaInfo says that the redesigned audio files section is a part of the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.19.1. However, the new feature is currently disabled by default and would only be enabled sometime in future.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also working on a secure locking mechanism for Google's Android platform. The feature was recently spotted after the company rolled out the latest update for its Application version 2.19.3 for Android update in the Google Play's Beta Program.
WhatsApp has been working on several new features for both Android and iOS users like Dark Mode, Consecutive Voice Message, sticker search and many more.


1. Remove the battery from the back of the device.
2.Replace the battery into the device.
3.Turn on the device by pressing the red telephone button.
The Janam XT1 Android – Rugged Mini-Tablet delivers all the technological advancements found in consumer devices with the mission-critical key features that enterprises require in a rugged tablet.
First remove the back lid and the battery and return the lock that keeps the lid in place back in the position as if the back lid would be on. Then keep both the POWER + Capture + End keys pressed while inserting the battery.
Users may wish to map keys such as the "*" key on the keypad to allow the user to enter "-" key without using the popup keyboard or dual keys.

We speak with Henham Rous of One Good Cup
Interviews, Profile, No Comments
featured, geelong, Geelong cafe, keep cup, One Good Cup, War on Waste
For most us, we're unable to complete the simplest of tasks until we've had our morning coffee. That caffeine fix has to fit into our busy lifestyles, which often means it's picked up on the go as we complete the school drop-off, make our way to work or head into a day full of study.
Planet Ark estimates that every 30 minutes in Australia 50,000 disposable coffee cups become landfill. The extent of our coffee habits was also highlighted in 2017 by Craig Reucassel's War on Waste, and since then café-regulars have become more aware of their daily habits and practices; embracing the many reusable cups on offer. But there are still many barriers to overcome.
Henham Rous may have found an answer to these barriers with his sustainable keep cup initiative, One Good Cup.
Growing up exposed to sustainable farming practices and with experience working in hospitality, it wasn't a surprise when Henham started thinking of easier ways for users to embrace reusable coffee cups.
Teaming up with the brains behind Australian Primary Hemp, the team spent months researching takeaway coffee culture – trying to identify areas where the process could be improved.
"We've found through all the research we've done, not just in Geelong but also in Melbourne, that convenience and hassle is so key to trying to encourage the next wave of people to get on the concept," he says.
"There are a lot of people who are early adopters and quite vigilant in the habit of using keep cups – we realise that's not for everyone and not everyone is like that. So, we're asking, 'How can we reduce those barriers?' Cleaning the cup came up as a big hassle."
For Henham, it isn't about guilting users into something that's good for the planet, it's about finding something that is convenient and easy to use while having a positive impact on the world we live in. As he says, "We're not here to take a moral high ground."
So, just how do we tackle the hassle of cleaning the reusable cup? The solution was something that relied on the support and enthusiasm from cafes.
The key to One Good Cup centres around its convenience. Users who sign up to the subscription are given one reusable cup and one token. The token can be used to redeem a cup from one of the Café Champions when placing your order. When you've used a cup, and here's where it really matters, that dirty cup can then be taken back to participating cafes for either a token to use again at a later date or for another clean One Good Cup with your next order.
"The beautiful thing about this system is [café staff] don't have to clean it there and then. They can leave it to the side, get a fresh one and deal with it when they have time," Henham says.
The cups have been designed for use in industrial dishwashers, so café staff can simply add the reusable cups to their daily washing and stack it with the clean ones waiting for the next One Good Cup user to come along.
It's even being added in as an option with ordering apps in Geelong, allowing the coffee to be made from the moment it's ordered rather than waiting for the reusable cup to arrive at the café.
Since launching in May 2019 at Soft Café in Herne Hill, One Good Cup is now located at 40 locations across Geelong and the Surf Coast – even at a café in Colac.
Some of the cafes that have joined the startup's mission to reduce throw-away coffee cups are A Spot for Joe, Neck of the Woods, 9 Grams, the Driftwood Café and Geelong West Social Club.
"We're very privileged and very lucky to be working with cafes with great reputations and who are also determined to help reduce waste," Henham says, also thanking the knowledge they've shared with him to help perfect the concept.
While Henham spent months perfecting the process, he was also tackling the design, look and feel of the reusable cup itself.
Initially the team hoped to make a cup from hemp fibres, but instead found a mixture of bamboo and corn fibre to be the winning formula.
"The idea with us is to try and keep it simple to begin with; having one size, it's stackable, it has a twist lid and it stays on. We couldn't source one from hemp, but that's something for the future evolution," he says.
"We're certainly open to improving and evolving the product."
That's where One Good Cup is uniquely different. With its existence coming to light from research on what users wanted, it will continue to ensure it satisfies those wants into the future.
Four months in and Henham is grateful that with every One Good Cup used, it's one less throw-away coffee cup in Geelong.
"We're having a red-hot crack," Henham smiles.

A journey within the country of eternal spring in the centre of the Maya culture is a journey to a country full of contrasts and traditions. Guatemala is the third-largest and with 15 million inhabitants the most populated country in Central America. More or less 70 % of inhabitants in Guatemala live under precarious circumstances, caused by poverty and years of war. But until today the Mayas are an important part of the population. Many aspects of their culture are vivid. At a rough estimate 40 % of the population have Maya origins. The incredible variety of traditional clothing can be discovered in the daily life.
With the Guatemalans, that are also called Chapín, the traveller encounters a variety of landscapes and places. The colonial city Antigua expresses its charm with beautiful buildings. You can enjoy the nature at Lake Atitlán. Boats drive from little village to other at the shore and volcanoes frame the lake in a magnificent way – a great place for hiking. To get to know the culture and traditions of the indigenous population, visit the Maya ruins Tikal in the north of Guatemala. In the national park Semuc Champey you feel really "into the wild". The miracle of nature fascinates with natural, turquoise pools. Like a different country appears the Caribbean coast with its city Livingston. African originated people, Creole culture and incredible beaches are worth a visit.
Spanish is the official language in every Central American country and is spoken by the majority of European originate Mestizos and most of the Indígenas as second language.
Especially in the mountains of Guatemala where the the indigenous population lives that speaks Maya-language with all its various dialects. At the Caribbean coast Creole is also very common.
In the highlands it is most of the time quite cold, especially from November to February, which are the coldest months. But in the lowlands it is warm all over the year. At the coast you will never freeze, however it is fairly hot over there no matter if you are at the Pacific or Caribbean Ocean. Take water improved clothes with you, if you travel Guatemala.
Like in most of Central American countries the Guatemalans eat a lot of rice and beans. Moreover, Tortillas, Pepían, hot spicy sauce, and Tamales (made out of corn and meat) are very popular.

Visualizing Tweets
Exploring how Twitter has been used to Promote and Discuss Open Access within History
PARADATA
I began this project as an exploration into public attitudes and perceptions towards the Open Access Movement. My intent was to look more specifically at how Canadians were discussing and promoting open access to historical data and research. However, as I sought to explore public opinion by looking at discussions on social media, I realized that the geospatial information would prove problematic. As the geospatial data can be turned off, it is difficult to determine the accurate frequency of Canadian locations in a dataset. Moreover, as "history" is both an academic discipline and a noun, searching for this specific word would not provide me with accurate results. With that said, I decided to use Twitter to search specifically for #OpenAccess and #SSHRC to try to get a sense of how Canadians are talking about SSHRC open access policies, and how society is talking about open access more generally. In this way, I hoped to highlight popular sentiment towards open access models, and get a sense of whether or not the general public is supportive of open initiatives.
After reading about the Open Access Movement, I was very interested in exploring what thoughts people had on the subject. Originally, I considered looking at journal articles to find scholarly work that spoke to open access principles. Realizing that this method would exclude students and the general public from the conversation, I reconsidered my options. As scholars, institutions, and students use Twitter to promote and share ideas, I realized that Twitter would be an important source of data for this project. As I believe that hashtags provide the most concise amount of data, I focused more on understanding their patterns as a way to mark trends in public opinion. Using visualization tools, such as Voyant, RAW, and Palladio, I attempted to visualize patterns in my datasets. Highlighting the terms and hashtags found in my datasets, I intended to provide more context for the data, so as to paint a clear picture of public sentiment.
Limitations & Challenges
While attempting this project, I came across several issues which made this project difficult to complete. While I was eager to learn how to use twarc to extract tweets, I could not get twarc to run on my machine. The twarc results for searches OA, open access and SSHRC were found by Dr. Graham, who was kind enough to run the twarc searches for me, and then send me the results to help me move my project forward. While Twitter can provide a rich source of data, I found it very difficult to sort through and clean the data. Beginning the project, I did not take into account that tweets include special characters and various languages, which can make a tweet's text field more challenging to clean. Originally, I was more interested in looking solely at hashtags and geospatial data to map where Canadians are discussing open access. Once I received my dataset, I realized that it would be very difficult to get a sense of location frequency with the user location field, as the locations are not always specified. Once I started to clean my data and visualize the results, I realized that the #OA dataset had an overwhelming amount of data that referenced science, health, and disease. As a result, I decided to omit that dataset from my final project. While trying to work with the #OpenAccess dataset, several visualizing tools struggled to upload my data. As this dataset is rather large, I had to try to work with smaller specialized fields, and explore new visualization and text mining tools to try to move my project forward. As I was using many of these tools for the first time, I do believe that I made some decisions which may have skewed my results. Moreover, as I do not speak French, it was not possible for me to examine datasets specific to French speaking Canadians. My dataset did produce some French hashtags and terms, however, without an understanding for the French language I would not be able to properly examine the perspectives and attitudes of French Canadians towards open access.
Afterthoughts
The Open Access Movement is a very fascinating and ever-evolving initiative. As institutions, governments, and individuals increasingly adhere to established open access principles, I believe it is important to understand and share the benefits of being open. Equally important, the "how" for achieving open access must be clearly planned, and should directly involve the public. Researching the Open Access Movement, I have realized that collaboration and public opinion have been used time, and time again, to define and establish open access principles. While the "everyday" person may not be fully aware of, or interested in, open access initiatives I believe that it is important to keep the public informed, while also continuing to promote public involvement in open access activities. With that said, I do believe that Twitter is an ideal source for understanding conversations between government bodies, institutions, scholarly researchers, students, and the general public. Through Twitter, public opinion toward Open Access initiatives can be understood and incorporated into open access models. While my project represents a "snapshot" of public opinion towards open access and the SSHRC policies, I believe there is value in undertaking a broader study of this nature. Archiving Twitter would allow institutions and government bodies to understand, more generally, how open access has impacted society.
