À la fin de la saison, le dernier du classement est relégué en Second-Liga, la deuxième division arménienne.

Le Pyunik Erevan, tenant du titre, remporte à nouveau le championnat en terminant en tête du classement, avec 8 points d'avance sur le Shirak FC Giumri et 9 sur le Banants Erevan. Il s'agit du  de champion d'Arménie de l'histoire du Pyunik, qui réussit le doublé en battant le Zvartnots Erevan en finale de la Coupe d'Arménie.

Une nouvelle fois, l'avant-saison est marquée par le forfait d'un des participants au championnat. C'est cette saison le club promu de deuxième division, le Malatia Erevan, qui renonce à s'aligner et permet le repêchage du club relégué la saison dernière, le Lori Vanadzor.

For years, Israeli startups chose M&A over the public markets.
That could start to change in 2014.
Mr. Kozlovski said the Israeli startup industry has matured to the point of creating 15 to 20 companies that could launch an IPO next year on New York, London or Tel Aviv exchange.
Wix.com's IPO last month set an example for many of these firms and increased the appetite to test the public markets. The website design company launched the biggest U.S.-listed Israeli debut in years, raising about $127 million. Its stock has already jumped roughly 70% from its offer price, with the company hitting a market valuation of just over $1 billion.
Companies that are often mentioned as following in Wix.com's footsteps include content recommendation firm Outbrain, software distributor ironSource, and advertising technology firms Matomy and Kenshoo. Mobileye, which develops a vehicle crash-prevention system, is also considered a strong contender, as are cybersecurity firms ForeScout and CyberArk.
"When IPOs happen they pull the whole market up. The way to create really, really big companies is to have IPOs," said Yoni Cheifetz, an Israel-based partner of Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Before Wix, few Israeli startups looked to the public markets. In the past two years, only nine Israeli-based companies went public raising $400 million, according to Dealogic.
By comparison, foreign companies have gobbled up local firms to the tune of $8.4 billion this year — up 48% from a year earlier — including a handful of deals cracking the $1 billion mark.
Some of the biggest deals included Google Inc.'s purchase of maps and traffic app Waze for $1 billion, Apple Inc. acquiring interactive technologies firm PrimeSense for $350 million and Covidien snapping up medical device company Given Imaging for about $1 billion. Overall, 2013 became the biggest year for foreign acquisition activity in the country since 2006, Dealogic reported, with companies including Facebook and Cisco joining in the shopping spree.
That M&A trend isn't expected to abate any time soon, as most entrepreneurs in Israel tend to develop companies and innovations only through a startup phase before positioning to sell to larger multinationals.
But a debate over whether this model is harming the Israeli startup scene, with jobs and technologies leaving the country, has gained traction. That sentiment has led more Israeli entrepreneurs to reconsider IPOs as a way to create their own big multinationals.
David Bratslavsky, executive director of the U.S. Israel Business Council, a nonprofit business network, said the potential for more IPOs has risen because there are quite a few entrepreneurs leading mature firms who already built and sold other startups, making them more likely to set their sights higher.

Specific Retrieval Deficit from Long-Term Memory in Children with Poor Arithmetic Facts Abilities

The most common characteristic of children with mathematical disorders is a difficulty in retrieving basic arithmetic facts. Different hypotheses about the underlying cause and the specificity of this deficit have been postulated. Some of them are general (such as low speed-of-processing or difficulties in retrieving semantic information from longterm memory), others are more specific (such as problems with material requiring verbal routines or a deficit in representing or accessing arithmetic facts). To clarify this, children with poor arithmetic facts abilities (PoorAF) and control children of the same age performed five computerized tasks requiring the retrieval of information from long-term memory such as the product of multiplication facts, words semantically related to a target, objects functionally associated with a target, countries corresponding to a capital city presented as target, and the final word of incomplete French proverbs. In addition, a perceptual task was used as a measure of children's processing speed. It was found that children with PoorAF were significantly slower than control children only in the arithmetic retrieval task. These findings support the hypothesis of a specific numerical deficit altering the retrieval of the arithmetic network from long-term memory.
Keywords: Developmental dyscalculia, mathematical disorders, arithmetic development, long-term memory.

Spoken - Spoken

Artist: Spoken
Album: Spoken
Label: Tooth & Nail Records
Review by: Eric Pettersson

2. Close Your Eyes
3. Not Soon Forgotten
4. Trading in This Troubled Heart

6. Brought to Life
7. Love Live the Dream

11. The Answer
Screamo is, for the most part, dead. The fad has moved on, and trendy kids have gone their separate ways to pollute other genres. Many bands have realized this and traveled into other directions (Underoath, Dead Poetic, Blindside, As Cities Burn, Emery), and some work better than others. And then there's a band like Spoken. Having been around eleven years, they've seen many changes from rapcore to melodic hardcore to screamo to, well… screamo? The new self-titled disc doesn't sound like their last two releases for Tooth & Nail, but it does in that it's a progression, stretching Spoken into new territory.
The first thing you have to notice when listening to Spoken is just how heavy the opener, "History Erased" really is. The verses are fast with rougher screams than usually heard from vocalist Matt Baird, and the bridge will surely see some crazy mosh pits. This release contains the hardest music I've heard from Spoken. From the rawness of "Not Soon Forgotten" to the aggressive speed and deep growl backing vocals of "Brought to Life," the band apparently liked "Bitter Taste" on Last Chance to Breathe and wanted to refocus on that heaviness. And then, mixed into the flow, are songs like "You're the One," which opens with piano and drum loops as Matt softly sings "Baby, does it bother you that I watch you when you sleep?" Also following the strong points of their last release, Matt's love lyrics are back in full swing. "Close Your Eyes" is a vulnerable track about being on the road and missing his wife. "The Meaning of…" sings about the security and value of their love and knowing it's going to last. There's even a verse about their new son. Spoken's catchier side, while it is not as present as some previous material, can be seen again in songs like "When Hope Is All You Have" and "Trading in This Troubled Heart," both songs that deal with God taking away people's pain and giving them inner-peace.
If a hardcore fan is going to become a fan of Spoken, now seems the time to do it. This record seems so much heavier than the last on the overall, and while the punk fan inside of me says that's always a good thing, I also kind of miss the really catchy tracks like "Wind in My Sails" or "September." So whether this progression is for the best or not, that is for the listener to determine. If you preferred the softer songs on Last Chance to Breathe like "Love in Return" that seemed to show a band that was moving away from hardcore, this might not be your favorite turn for Spoken. But if you listened to the last record and wished more songs sounded like "Bitter Taste," then you will absolutely love Spoken.

Beshear Calls for More Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
by Brenna Angel, Kentucky Public Radio
Governor Steve Beshear says more outpatient treatment programs are necessary to help eliminate Kentucky's growing prescription drug abuse problem. Beshear joined prosecutors, police officers, and medical professionals today at the University of Kentucky for a statewide summit on prescription drug abuse.
"You know you're not going to be 100 percent successful but good, effective treatment programs do work and people do recover from these kinds of addictions and they can become productive adults," Beshear said.
Floyd County Commonwealth's Attorney Brent Turner also spoke at the summit. He says he's seeing a rise in armed robberies, fatal drug overdoses, and even the sale of urine for people taking drug tests.
"We have police in our area and road units and troopers that have become so used to looking up people's noses to see what color of pill residue they have sticking out of their nose that they can almost tell you 'well that's blue so that's Xanax and that's pink so that's Lorcet and that's green and that's whatever,'" Turner said. "Because that's all people are doing."
Turner says the pain pills are destroying Kentucky.
In his proposed budget, Beshear wants to fund substance abuse treatment through the Medicaid program, which he says could reach about 5800 people. Beshear says he recognizes that the problem is much larger than that, but says it's a start.

Q: Checking if a string has 07.05.2013 date format Trying to validate a string to check if it has the format 07.05.2013, not sure how to approach it.
Thinking of checking if '.' are the 3rd and 6th characters, then checking if the rest of the characters are digits but I don't know how to achieve that.

A: If you simply need to parse the date, you can use the date time features of php.
<?php
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', '07.05.2013');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
?>

A: Use the DateTime::CreateFromFormat() method. This will validate your input and create a date object at the same time (which you can then use to work with the date).
$dateObj = DateTime::CreateFromFormat('d.m.Y', $inputString);

If the date is invalid or is in the wrong format, $dateObj will be false.
If it is a valid date in the required format, $dateObj will be a DateTime object.
Hope that helps.

A: if (preg_match('/^\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d\{4}$/', $yourstring)) {
 ...
}

This will be true if your string matches expression like dd.dd.dddd where d is a digit.

A: You can also use the checkdate function:
$date= '07.05.2013';
$date_arr= explode('.', $date);
if (checkdate($date_arr[0], $date_arr[1], $date_arr[2])) {
    // validate your date here
}

A: Something like:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', $yourStringWhichMightBeADate);
if ($date)
{
    // it's a date, so use it
}

Or:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('m.d.Y', $yourStringWhichMightBeADate);
if ($date)
{
    // it's a date, so use it
}

if the month is first rather than the day of month.

A: SOLUTION 1:
Here's the way I did it, it works with every input you decide to enter (e.g: "12.02.1996", "12.30.1996", "dasdsadas", and so on..)
public function valid_date($inputdate){
  $date = $inputdate;
  if (strtotime($date)){
     if (strpos($date,'.') !== false) {
       list($day, $month, $year) = explode('/', $date);
       return checkdate($month, $day, $year);
     }else{
        return false;
     }
  }else{
    return false;
  }
}

If input date is 10/10/1996 which is also a valid format, or 10/02/1996, it won't accept them because I'm asking the user to use the format with ".". Just remove the "if" if you don't want to do this validation and that is it.
SOLUTION 2:
Found this at php.net, very clean and interesting!
    public function valid_date($date, $format = 'd.m.Y'){
        $d = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $date);
        return $d && $d->format($format) == $date;
}


George Galloway breached broadcasting impartiality rules when he used his radio show to cast doubt on Russian involvement in the poisoning of Yulia and Sergei Skripal in Salisbury last year, according to media regulator Ofcom.
The former MP used his weekly programme on TalkRadio to repeatedly criticise claims of Russian involvement in the incident. He mocked those who agreed with the UK government that the Kremlin was behind the novichok nerve agent attack on the former Russian security agent and his daughter.


The no-confidence motion pushed by the Opposition against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government was rejected by the Lok Sabha on Friday.
The victory for the NDA came after an action-packed session in Parliament that witnessed several searing speeches by both the leaders of the opposition parties and the BJP.
The NDA passed the no-confidence motion with an overwhelming majority of 325 votes in favour of the government out of 451 votes. Only 126 MPs voted in favour of the motion.
The results were put out after a 12-hour heated debate that saw both the government and the Opposition trade barbs. The highlight of the day, however, was Rahul Gandhi's impromptu hug to PM Modi after his blistering speech.
The voting took place in presence of the MPs from the BJP and the opposition parties. However, members of the Shiv Sena, BJD and TRS were not present in the House during the voting. Several AIADMK members opposed the motion, providing a boost to the NDA.
After a 10-hour long heated debate on the achievements and failures of the NDA government PM Modi appealed all the parties to defeat the motion. He accused Congress president Rahul Gandhi of 'crushing' the truth and 'playing with the national security' by making allegations against him on the Doklam issue and by alleging corruption in the Rafale aircraft deal.
PM Modi took the offensive hours after Rahul Gandhi walked up to him to hug him. In an apparent jibe, PM Modi said that he appeared to be in a hurry to occupy the seat of the prime minister as kept asking him to stand for an embrace.
What is his hurry to come to power? Let me tell this member, it is the people who elected us. That is how we have come here.
However, moments after the hug went viral, BJP tweeted 'We cannot thank you enough for the entertainment'.
PM Modi's wit evoked laughter from across the benches. In response to Rahul's wink after the hug, the PM said that the whole country watched the game he played with his eyes.
If Gandhi kept Modi in his line of fire throughout his speech, it was the turn of the Congress' ruling family when the Prime Minister spoke.
The country is not unaware of the history of one family which stoked political instability in the country time and again for its selfish interests.
Modi said his fate was in the hands of 125 crore people and added that he prayed to lord Shiva, who was invoked by Gandhi in his speech, and the countrymen, that the Congress leader bring a similar no-confidence motion in 2024.
He cited several development and welfare initiatives while hitting out at the opposition, saying the country has seen how much negativity has seeped into his rivals that they were speaking against the progress made by the country.
To remove him, these parties, which could not even stand each other, have got together but he had the people's blessings, Modi said, as he recited verses and shlokas to describe the opposition as a decrepit ship without a captain.
This is not his government's floor test but a "force test" that the Congress has done to see which parties are with it, he said.
Without naming Gandhi, Modi said due to his "careless" allegation on the Rafale deal, both India and France had to release statements. There is complete transparency in the deal, he asserted.
Gandhi also spoke about the Doklam issue but believed the Chinese Ambassador over our forces, Modi said referring to Gandhi's meeting with Chinese diplomats during the standoff.
What have we come to? Everything does not merit a childish conduct.
Apparently referring to the opposition attack on his government over mob lynching incidents, Modi said he has asked state governments to take action against the culprits who indulge in violence.
I am thankful to PM Modi, the BJP and the RSS for letting me realise the real meaning of the Congress and of being Indian. They made me realise what it means to be a real Indian and a true Hindu.
"I might be Pappu for you, but let me tell you, I don't hate you at all," said Rahul.
"I met the President of France. I asked him about the secrecy clause and he denied that any such clause exists in the agreement. He told me so and I don't have any objection if you tell this to everyone in the country. Under pressure from the prime minister, Nirmala Sitharaman told a lie to the nation," said Rahul.
The last no-confidence motion was also moved by the Congress against the Vajpayee government. However, the BJP never moved such a motion during the 10-year rule of UPA. We had disagreements but we were aware that the numbers were with the UPA.
The biggest incident of mob lynching took place in 1984, said Rajnath Singh evoking the riots that claimed lives of hundreds of Sikhs in Delhi and surrounding areas.
Silencing the detractors of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that only a leader from humble background can understand the predicament of the poor farmer.
"Only a person born in the womb of poverty can feel the pain of the downtrodden," said Rajnath.
NCP MP from Bihar's Karihar Tariq Anwar said that the no-confidence vote is crucial as the people are not happy with the functioning of the NDA government. He said that in the last four years, PM Modi and BJP leaders spent most of their time in devising ploys to malign the Gandhi family.
A government that has been unable to amend the Lokpal Act has no right to speak about democracy.
Trinamool Congress MP Dinesh Trivedi commenting on religious tensions said that people who do not know about religion are speaking about it. Saving democracy from the clutches of mobocracy is our responsibility, he said.
Your narrative is always surrounding Hindu-Muslims, India-Pakistan, Shamsan-Kabaristan.
Asaduddin Owaisi, the president of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, attacked the government on the growing threat to the lives of minorities.
"Wonderful oratory skills, great action, it felt like a Bollywood blockbuster. Even in 2014, the people were betrayed in the same way," said Srinivas Kesineni from the TDP.

Reconnecting with the Perez family
Earlier this year, we introduced you to the Perez family. Jennifer and Mace shared their experiences adopting energetic 3-year-old Bernard through Buckner Foster Care.
At the same time of experiencing the joy of adopting Bernard, the Perez family also experienced tragedy. After more than four years of infertility, Jennifer discovered she was pregnant. At their 11-week ultrasound, however, they learned their baby girl's skull had not developed correctly and there was no chance she would survive. At 39 weeks, Jennifer gave birth to Hannah, who lived for 31 hours and 22 minutes. It was heartbreaking for them and Bernard to lose Hannah, but through the tragedy, they clung even closer to the Lord, recognizing that he was always with them. You can read their full story here.
How are the Perezes doing today?
After Hannah's passing, the Perezes continued to foster – a ministry now 5-year-old Bernard also embraces. Earlier this year, Jennifer discovered she was pregnant with another little girl and in September, she gave birth to Haven Elizabeth.
"We named her Haven because we knew that life in this broken and fallen world is a mixture of joy and pain," Mace said. "But with God as her refuge, she can be more than a conqueror over any pain and hardship that may come her way. She can walk through life knowing that her life is in the hands of her good, good father."
The Perezes had no idea how soon they would need to rely on God to protect their daughter. Just one week after birth Haven was admitted to the hospital with bacterial meningitis. For weeks, Haven fought for her life while family and friends covered her in prayer.
It was a long road, but after 18 days in the hospital, Haven was released to go home and continues to improve more and more every day. Today, she's happy, healthy and growing, showing no signs of developmental delay from the meningitis.
"Everyone who has come alongside us in prayer has witnessed God doing what he does – heal," Jennifer said. "This experience has only strengthened my faith as I watched him work and move to restore Haven's health. God's grace. His faithfulness. His love. His power. His healing. I can't explain it all, but I've seen it all in action. And I praise and thank him again and again."

Alaudinova v Russia
Abuses by security forces and law enforcement North Caucasus Russia Case Summary
Case No. 32297/05
Judgment date: 23 April 2009
The applicant in this case is mother of Bekkhan Alaudinov, who disappeared on 8 November 2001. According to the applicant, a group of men, armed with machine guns and wearing camouflage uniforms, had broken into the applicant's family home in the early hours of 8 November 2001. They abducted the applicant's son in a military lorry. He has not been seen since then. Shortly after their departure, the applicant had heard the sound of gunshots. In an attempt to follow her son, the applicant was stopped and ordered to return home due to the curfew existing in the area at the time. Since the day of her son's abduction, the applicant has repeatedly applied to various public bodies asking for assistance in locating the whereabouts of her son and requesting details of the investigation. A criminal investigation into the disappearance of the applicant's son was instituted on 12 December 2001, however it was suspended and resumed on several occasions due to the failure to identify the perpetrators.
The Court established that the fact that a large group of armed men in uniform, equipped with military vehicles, was able to move freely through military roadblocks during curfew hours, and given the situation in Chechnya at the time, suggested that these were State servicemen conducting a security operation. The Court ruled that the applicant's son must be "presumed dead" following his unacknowledged detention by Russian servicemen, and found a violation of Article 2.
In addition, the Court took note that the investigation, having been repeatedly suspended and resumed, was plagued by inexplicable delays and had been pending for many years having produced no tangible results. The Court found violation of the procedural limb of Article 2.
In respect to the applicant herself, the Court considered that as the mother of a disappeared person, who witnessed his abduction, and not having had any news of him for more than seven years, she suffered distress and anguish. This, coupled with the manner in which her complaints had been dealt with by the authorities, constituted inhuman treatment contrary to Article 3.
The unacknowledged detention of the applicant's son, without any of the safeguards of Article 5, constituted "a particularly grave violation of the right to liberty and security".
The Court also found a violation of Article 13 in conjunction with Article 2 given the ineffectiveness of the criminal investigation into the disappearance and the lack of any other effective remedy.
The applicant was awarded EUR 35,000 in respect of non-pecuniary damages.

Preventive care is the cornerstone of dental health. For family-friendly general dentistry in Madison Heights, call our office to schedule your next appointment.
At Art Dentistry Center, we are dedicated to helping patients of all ages achieve great oral health. That is why we offer comprehensive general dentistry services for families in our community. Call our gentle and patient-focused team to meet all your family's dental care needs.
In general dentistry, the dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is responsible for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums and face. Even though general dentists primarily provide preventive care and minor restorative treatment, they are often able to perform a wide array of other dental procedures, including cosmetic treatments.
At Art Dentistry Center, we offer a thorough checkup to assess your overall oral health. You can expect a full examination, professional cleaning, oral cancer screening and digital X-rays. We are also trained to perform checkups on children of all ages and stages of care. Be sure to bring your child in as soon as their baby teeth come in.
Athletes of all ages can benefit from a custom-fitted mouth guard. Mouth guards protect your teeth from sports-related dental injuries. For patients who suffer from nighttime bruxism (grinding or clenching the teeth during sleep), we can recommend night guards.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. We use sealants to protect your teeth from cavity-causing bacteria. Our dentist recommends sealants to children between the ages of six and 12 to help protect their smiles from tooth decay. We may also recommend them to adult patients who are at a high risk of cavities.
Made from high-quality composite resin, our office offers tooth-colored fillings to treat cavities without the need for silver fillings. Our dentist can shade the resin to match the rest of your natural tooth for a seamless repair. Tooth-colored fillings are safe for patients of all ages and contain no metals.
Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to repair or replace infected, broken or missing teeth. Made from high-quality and natural-looking porcelain, we use crowns to restore teeth in cases of damage or decay. Crowns are also used to cover a dental implant in cases of tooth loss. We can usually place your crown in two visits.
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They fill the space with porcelain crowns for a durable and natural-looking restoration. We recommend bridges to patients to restore their natural bite and the quality of their smile. Our dentist can shade the artificial teeth to match the rest of your teeth.
For family-friendly general dentistry in Madison Heights, call our office at (248) 206-5052 to schedule an appointment today. We offer convenient family scheduling to help the whole family get the care they deserve.

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu est une ville du Québec, au Canada, située dans la MRC du Haut-Richelieu en Montérégie, dont elle est le chef-lieu.

Le décret de la population 2014 y dénombre  habitants, ce qui en fait la seconde ville de Montérégie en nombre d'habitants après Longueuil.

Histoire

Les débuts : une colonisation ralentie par un rôle stratégique de défense (1666-1790)

En 1666, un premier fort en bois, le  fort Saint-Jean, est érigé sur la rive de la rivière Richelieu à l'initiative d'Alexandre de Prouville de Tracy.
Une première paroisse, Saint-Jean-l'Évangéliste, est fondée en 1667. Elle est nommée en l'honneur de l'évangéliste Jean de Patmos et Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu, cardinal français et ministre de Louis XIII. Elle dessert le noyau urbain qui s'est constitué à l'intérieur des fortifications . Une première urbanisation à l'extérieur du fort se produit vers 1750 , et le noyau villageois naissant est consolidé entre 1776 et 1786 par l'arrivée massive de Loyalistes. Un faubourg se forme le long de la route menant à Chambly (aujourd'hui la rue Richelieu), et celui-ci est nommé «The Rookery». À cette époque, déjà, nous y retrouvons tavernes, auberges, artisans et magasins . C'est donc un début d'activité commerciale pour la future rue Richelieu. En 1787, le commerce du bois est libéralisé et, en 1794, le commerce dans son entier. Des entrepôts sont alors construits le long de ce chemin et des quais sont jetés sur la rivière . L'activité portuaire était complétée, depuis 1776, par un chantier naval sur le site du fort. Plusieurs expéditions militaires contre les États-Unis partaient de ce point . En 1790, David Alexander Grant, Baron de Longueuil, renomme la ville Dorchester et y prévoit une première trame orthogonale de 16 îlots (quatre par quatre). Ces îlots existent toujours aujourd'hui et sont délimités de l'ouest à l'est par les rues Laurier, Longueuil, Jacques-Cartier Nord, Champlain et Richelieu et, du sud au nord, par les rues Frontenac, Saint-Georges, Saint-Jacques, Saint-Charles et Foch. Par la suite, la vocation portuaire et commerciale de la rue Richelieu est confirmée par l'établissement progressif des institutions civiques plus à l'ouest, sur la seconde terrasse, près des actuelles rues Longueuil et Jacques-Cartier.

Essor et industrialisation (1790-1876)

La ville prend pleinement son essor au dix-neuvième siècle avec le développement des transports : les diligences en provenance de Montréal s'arrêtent aux hôtels de la rue Richelieu, un chemin s'ouvre vers les Cantons-de-l'Est en 1797 et un premier pont est construit sur le Richelieu en 1827, coin Saint-Charles et du Quai, remplaçant le service de traversier établi entre Saint-Jean et Iberville par les frères Mott dès 1797. Le commerce entre le Canada et les États-Unis provoque à Saint-Jean la construction du premier chemin de fer canadien en 1836, qui relie la ville à La Prairie, près de Montréal. Rappelons que le Richelieu relie Saint-Jean et New York par le biais du lac Champlain et du fleuve Hudson. Le port de Saint-Jean se hisse même au quatrième rang quant au commerce au Canada. En 1843, l'activité s'intensifie encore avec l'inauguration du canal de Chambly , qui rend le Richelieu navigable sur toute sa longueur . Montréal et Saint-Jean sont ensuite reliées aux États-Unis par voie ferroviaire dès 1853. Les activités portuaires diminuent donc à Saint-Jean au profit de celles à Montréal, mais plusieurs manufactures de céramique, entre autres, s'établissent le long de ces voies. Ces manufactures ont valu à Saint-Jean le surnom de capitale canadienne de la poterie et de la céramique. En  paraît Le Canada français, un des plus vieux journaux francophones d'Amérique, qui n'a jamais cessé de publier jusqu'à ce jour. En 1876, un incendie détruit la rue Richelieu. Celle-ci est totalement reconstruite avec le visage qu'on lui connaît aujourd'hui.

Croissance et redéfinition (1876-...)
Au cours de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et dans la première moitié du vingtième, la ville continue sa croissance, les faubourgs devenant des quartiers. L'avènement de l'usine Singer en 1906 marque le début de la véritable diversification industrielle de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, qui prend de plus en plus les atours d'une capitale régionale. L'ouverture du Collège Militaire Royal du Canada en 1952 et les développements de la base des forces canadiennes au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et en 1970 n'ont fait que confirmer la position de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu en tant que ville-garnison. Aujourd'hui, Saint-Jean est toujours une ville-centre, offrant emplois et services à la très grande majorité de sa population. La proximité de Montréal accroit la tendance à l'urbanisation vers le nord-ouest de la ville, et les pôles économiques suivent cette tendance, au détriment du centre-ville.

Après une légère périclitation vers le début des années 1990, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu semble maintenant sur une nouvelle voie de prospérité, attirant chaque année davantage de jeunes familles et d'industries. Le secteur touristique y est aussi bien développé grâce à l'International de montgolfières, le plus important événement du genre au Canada.

L'actuelle municipalité est issue de la fusion, en 2001, des villes de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, d'Iberville et de Saint-Luc, de la municipalité de L'Acadie et de la paroisse de Saint-Athanase.

Environnement et politiques

Politique de l'arbre
Dans la foulée des actions entreprises ces dernières années en matière environnementale, la ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu s'apprête à adopter une politique de l'arbre.
À cet effet, la municipalité propose un document dont la première partie trace le chemin parcouru depuis les premières réflexions d'une approche de développement durable dans la gestion municipale. À partir de diverses études, elle présente le portrait des forêts actuelles puis en dresse un bilan.
La politique présente également l'état des connaissances des services écologiques rendus par les écosystèmes naturels afin de bien saisir la valeur et l'importance du rôle des arbres et de ces écosystèmes dans le maintien des activités humaines en milieu urbain.
En deuxième partie du document, formant l'essence de la politique, quatre grandes orientations sont dégagées à partir des enjeux généraux référant aux principes environnementaux, sociaux et économiques du développement durable.
Enfin, la politique comprend un plan d'action proposant diverses interventions spécifiques pour mettre en œuvre les orientations énoncées.

Politique environnementale
La ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu s'est dotée en  de sa toute première politique environnementale. Celle-ci a été le fruit d'analyses par un comité consultatif en environnement ad hoc et d'un processus de consultation du milieu, ces étapes ayant été menées sous la responsabilité d'un organisme œuvrant dans le domaine environnemental.

Plan d'action pour l'environnement
À la suite de l'adoption de la politique environnementale de la ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, un plan d'action a vu le jour afin de traduire les principes directeurs présentés dans la politique en interventions concrètes.
L'élaboration du plan d'action a ainsi permis d'identifier une centaine d'interventions spécifiques à poser s'articulant autour de sept grands thèmes devenant autant de priorités d'action municipale : les milieux naturels, la gestion environnementale, l'eau, l'air et les changements climatiques, l'efficacité énergétique, les nuisances, la gestion des matières résiduelles.

Plan de conservation des milieux naturels
Le tout premier plan de conservation des milieux naturels de la ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu vise à établir un équilibre entre le développement et la préservation des milieux naturels.
Le plan contribuera à protéger plus de 31 millions de pieds carrés de milieux naturels en zone blanche. De cette superficie, près de 13 millions de pieds carrés seront acquis par la municipalité à des fins de conservation alors que les espaces résiduels seront protégés par une réglementation restrictive.
Élaboré en conformité avec les exigences du ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement, de la Faune et des Parcs (MDDEFP), le plan protégera plus de 70 % des milieux humides en zone blanche ainsi que différents habitats d'intérêt écologique présents sur le territoire.
S'inscrivant dans la démarche environnementale entreprise par la ville depuis le dépôt de la planification stratégique en 2004, le plan de conservation constitue un important jalon du plan d'action de la politique environnementale municipale adoptée en 2008.

Plan d'action visant la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre
La ville annonçait  la réalisation d'un premier plan d'action pour la réduction des gaz à effet de serre émis sur son territoire. Le plan d'action vise trois grands objectifs de réduction des GES d'ici 2020

Transports

Réseau routier
La ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu est située à la confluence de nombreuses voies routières, autoroutières et ferroviaires.L'autoroute 35 constitue la pierre angulaire de réseau routier de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Elle possède 6 échangeurs menant vers la ville, soit les sorties 39 (route 104, ancienne sortie 3), 42 (route 133, ancienne sortie 6), 43 (route 223, 45 (route 219, rue Pierre-Caisse), 47 (route 104, boulevard Saint-Luc) et 50 (Chemin Saint-André). Une fois complétée en 2017, elle connectera directement Saint-jean au Vermont, aux États-Unis, et à Montréal et à l'autoroute des Cantons-de-l'est. La route 104, le boulevard Saint-Luc, est situé dans l'ancienne ville de Saint-Luc, desservant le quartier sous un boulevard urbain à 4 voies séparées excepté un petit tronçon près de l'église. Elle se poursuit vers l'ouest vers La Prairie. De plus, la 104 forme un multiplex avec la 35 entre les sorties 47 et 39, puis se continue vers l'est vers Mont-Saint-Grégoire. La route 223, le boulevard du Séminaire, est la principale artère commerciale de Saint-Jean, traversant la ville du nord au sud, suivant la rive ouest de la rivière Richelieu. La route 219, quant à elle, quitte la ville par le sud-ouest vers Napierville, alors qu'elle est la suite de la rue Pierre-Caisse, ainsi que le chemin Grand-Bernier. De plus, la route 133 est le chemin des Patriotes, étant située au nord d'Iberville, vers Chambly en suivant la rive est de la rivière Richelieu. Elle quitte la ville par le sud vers Henryville et la frontière Canado-Américaine, et est une route extrêmement empruntée, car elle est le seul lien entre Saint-Jean et les États-Unis .

Vie militaire

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu porte maintenant le titre de « ville-garnison » pour souligner la présence de la Garnison de Saint-Jean des Forces Canadiennes et du Campus Fort Saint-Jean qui abrite le Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean.

C'est en 2005 que le maire de Saint-Jean, Gilles Dolbec, accepta, sur les recommandations du Lieutenant-Colonel Guy Lang, Coordonnateur de la Garnison Saint-Jean, l'appellation Saint-Jean, Ville-Garnison. À partir de ce moment, une étroite collaboration s'installa entre les militaires et leur ville d'accueil.

MMF passes change allowing citizens to identify as non-binary
The Manitoba Metis Federation has passed a resolution enabling its citizens to identify as non-binary.
The federation is the first Métis Government to do this, allowing Metis citizens to select an alternate gender-neutral option for those who identify as neither male nor female.
Citizens who would like to change their gender identity on their Citizenship or Harvester cards can request to have it reprinted and revised for free.
"This has been a growing development in our government to ensure that no one is left behind. As Metis citizens, we are a strong family-oriented nation. Family is family, and we need to endorse them all," MMF President David Chartrand told the Winnipeg Sun on Wednesday.
In April, the Government of Manitoba announced it will provide people with the option to select a non-binary sex designation on their birth and death certificates.
In October, the Manitoba Public Insurance changed its rules to allow people in Manitoba to display an 'X' as their gender identifier or to opt not to display a gender marker on their driver's license.
"Many other governments have begun to shift to this change of gender identity recognition allowing citizens of Canada to identify as gender-neutral or gender 'X'," said Chartrand.
"We thought it was clear for our government that we need to show that same respect to our Metis citizens who are part of the LGBTQ2+ community."
The MMF has also recently created the first local specifically for Métis LGBTQ2+ individuals in the Homeland: the Two-Spirit Michif Local.
"We have 140 locals in the province that provide guidance and direction to the Metis Nation. These locals are made up of individuals who were not allowed to be themselves or had to hide their identity for fear of repercussion or negativity towards them," said Chartrand.
"As a Metis government, we want to make clear that our job is to represent and respect all citizens no matter their religion, culture or preference."

Le drapeau de la République socialiste soviétique carélo-finnoise a été adopté en 1953.

Avant, le drapeau était rouge avec un marteau et une faucille d'or dans le coin supérieur gauche, écrit en caractères latins Karjalais-Suomalainen SNT (Karjalais-Suomalainen Sosialistinen Neuvostotasavalta) et en russe, Карело-Финская ССР (Карело-Финская Советская Социалистическая Республика) au-dessous en lettres dorées dans une police de caractère sans obit et sans empattement.
Une proposition 1947 a comporté la même conception que le drapeau adopté en 1953 excepté avec les abréviations K.-S.S.N.T. et К.- Ф.С.С.Р en or dans une police de caractère sans obit et sans empattement au-dessous du marteau et de la faucille d'or.
La proposition a également comporté une ligne stylisé avec des arbres noir sur la ligne bleue.

Quartet for horn, violin, cello and piano
Robert Simpson (1921-1997)
This Quartet, written in 1976 for the highly unusual (perhaps unique) combination of horn and piano trio, was originally conceived as a single-movement work titled 'Moto Crescente'. Shortly after the first performance, the composer extended it by adding a large Theme and Variations to balance the existing movement. Though much of the writing is as transparent as in the Trio, the Quartet is of a more sunny, amiable temperament.
The first movement, centred in D, adopts one of Robert Simpson's most characteristic devices, originally heard in the Third Symphony — a gradual increase in activity, transforming a slow opening to a lively Allegro whilst the basic pulse remains unchanged. The opening sound is rich in harmonies and unparalleled in chamber music: a low piano D and concert A on the horn.
This acts as a background for the first section, an intense, deliberate fugue begun in the higher register of the cello, The following sections are clearly determined by an increase in animation as the bars are compressed from 3/4 to 2/4 to 3/8, eventually arriving at a striding one-in-a-bar Scherzo, introduced again by low piano and horn. The coda reverts to the initial tempo as horn, violin and cello weave serene, elegant melodic lines, steering the music softly back into D.
The second movement unfolds with an innocent, diatonic D major melody of great simplicity and dignity. Few composers writing in the 1970s would have possessed the courage, or the ability, to conceive a tune such as this. There are four variations in all, each one becoming more elaborate, in a manner that recalls the opening movement, and a tranquil coda that contains another variation. There are four variations in the main body of the movement — each becoming more elaborate than the previous one, in a manner that recalls the opening movement — and a tranquil coda that contains yet another one.
Variation 1, also in D, maintains the gentle character of the the theme and introduces floating triplet patterns on piano and violin against broader lines on cello and horn. The texture is more fragmented in the next variation as faster triplet figurations skate through the music. A crescendo leads to variation 3, undoubtedly one of the most explosive and exhilarating in all Simpson: tierce, ascending arpeggios in the strings collide with repeated-note figures in the piano, sometimes involving thick triads. Above this, the horn sings a broad melody. The only possible precedent for such remarkable music might be the third variation from the Arietta of Beethoven's Opus IlI Piano Sonata. The tension eases in the fourth variation, though the former energy is felt to be still latent, particularly in the insistent violin notes and the mysteriously alternating pizzicati. D major is regained once more in the coda which despite rippling activity and a central crescendo contains some of the calmest and most evocative music in the entire Quartet.

Thank you for everything! I look forward to your seminar this year. It's coming after quite an intense period in my life, during which my trust in the unknown was tested deeply. I offer my testimonial below and thanks. "In 2010 I was guided toward my first Ho'oponopono seminar. This happened without actually knowing what I was asking for. I simply asked the Universe, between tears, to "show me the way." At the time, I was thinking that 'the way" would be another man in my life. After a recent breakup, I was broken. But it was not so simple. I had to face my own mental resistance. The first time I heard about one of Mabel's seminars, I resisted my inner guidance to go. But, somehow, the Universe gave me the perfect opportunity to let go of all my mental resistance. I became one of the first students registered for Mabel's next seminar in Romania. Since then I have never missed one, and every time I return, I am given new insights and experiences. And I really don't know how, but in time, more friends and colleagues started to come with me. I felt at home from the first seminar, relieved that nothing was actually wrong with me. Day after day, new receptors kept opening up inside me. I cannot say I practice Ho'oponopono. I think it is more accurate to say that Ho'oponopono became my lifestyle— a part of me. I cannot imagine how I could ever live differently. In the last seven months of my life—I had a ski accident while I was cleaning. The accident involved surgery and long recovery but also came with physical issues, high expenses, all which happened at the same time I was trying to buy my first house and extremely busy at work. In a few minutes, everything in my life changed. But, from the very first moment it happened, even while I was on the ambulance, I was thinking that if this happened to me while I know I cleaned before the ski holiday and also while I was on the ski slope, then I must be grateful! God knows what was on the way to manifest! I kept cleaning until I finally understood and had the insights about the meaning of "no expectations" and what it means to clean in order to be at peace, instead of cleaning for a particular result or that somehow things would be arranged perfectly. And, now, I am recovered. My body is in perfect body shape, fit and better than ever before. I bought my new flat and have already moved into it, which was perfectly timed to when I just finished my recovery. Of course, I had huge expenses, but somehow money came exactly when I needed it! So, thank you, thank you, thank you! Looking forward to the next time!" Warm hugs and love!
I want you to know that I had an incredible breakthrough last night after listening to you. I have been in a legal battle for a year over my house. I have been resisting and blocking my blessings. I let go and had the realization after you spoke of that lady going through her divorce. I had emailed Matthew David about praying for me earlier yesterday. He told me to watch his live stream last night and I did. My prayers were answered and I found my peace. I am blessed to hear from you. Thank you!
Dear Mabel, Every time I go to one of your seminars, it feels like I'm going home. I'm not usually one to see or hear things beyond what we can see or hear with our physical senses, but I must tell you that during the inner child exercise you did, I felt (and maybe even saw) a boy kneeling beside me. He puthis hand on my knee, with such comfort and gentleness. When I asked my inner child whether it was him, he said "No!"J Now, I have no idea who was beside me, cheering me on and giving me his love and condolences, but it was a beautiful moment. I think there are many more souls attending your seminar than you have registered on paper J .Thank you so much for your beautiful seminar. Irena says Hi. She likes you very much, which is rare in teenagers:) All our love.
P.S. I hope you will come next year.
Thank you for a very wonderful seminar in Delhi, Mabel! It was a deeply enriching experience. We felt in complete resonance with your words. Our appreciation to Mike and everyone in your team and group that came to India with you, thanks for their cooperation and friendship! The event was very well organized and richfull in different ways! Your never ending energy and commitment is indeed admirable. Thank you. I love you!
Dear Mabel, Thank you for your newsletter. It makes me happy and more willing to clean! My life is full of obstacles, the more I clean, the more I'm aware of them. Three years ago, I "discovered" Ho'oponopono and since that day, my life started to change, Thank you, I love you I attended to two seminars in Belgrade and I hope that we're meeting again this year in the same place, I love you There are no words to express my gratitude for all good in my life and the lives of my children, that happened before and after those seminars. So I'll just say thank you, thank you, thank you! I apologize, my English is not very good, but these words come from my heart and soul. I wished to express my gratitude to you, for everything you unselfishly share with us.
Ever since they announced the seminars here I felt that I had to participate, but I was made a slave to my mind: "Right now I can't do it because I am consumed by my business," I thought and I let it go.
Klara wrote to me in Facebook and we corresponded a bit, since we had not been in contact for months. It was a sign for me and in a few moments I noticed that my rational mind had turned off.
In that moment I felt that I could pay and participate as an absentee and that it would all work out. That is what I did. I paid the absentee price for the seminar.
I let go of the worry and I trusted.
A few days later, my landlord contacted me to tell me that I would pay less this month due to an overpayment and they even refunded me money.
The amount they refunded me was exactly the price of the seminar.
The moral of the story: When we let go of worries, things come to us at the perfect moment. Not one minute before, not one minute after.
Thanks for the seminar in Miami, for me, it was great.
It was a spectacular location and impeccable organization. Thanks to Paola and the other organizers.
I'd like to mention that until that day I was trying to establish a relationship with my inner child, but I felt I could not get it. Sometimes my heart accelerated while I tried. To my surprise, my inner child was presented as a BOY and I even knew his name.
Since then we have created a close relationship, which can be confirmed by my joy and happiness.
Thank you for your beautiful mission to awaken and bring Peace to all.
Thank you for all your seminars in which you have allowed participation in absence, because they are accelerating my internal changes so fast... although I'm not sure what they are about, my body, as a tuning fork, is vibrating all the time in those high and sacred vibrations that only the 'vision' of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta made me experience with so much strength, love and persistence in the past.
Hope Angels will always be with you on your Sacred Path!


Student X, age 29, received two undergraduate degrees in two different fields of science. The first, a B.S. in Marine Biology from a small, private university, left her unable to find work in her field. After working at fast food restaurants and bakeries, Student X decided to go back to school and get another B.S., this time in Environmental Studies, from a large, public university. She now has a job in her new field.
This chat-interview with keito is part of the March 2010 Higher Education issue of The Talking Twenties.
Keito: It must not have been easy to leave Marine Biology…What finally spurred you to change fields and go back to school?
Student X: I'm not really sure. I had a lot of influence from my family to keep looking for jobs other than slinging burgers. But I finally decided I would try graduate school and maybe teaching.
Unfortunately, the public school, because they are so large, has the liberty of being very choosy and takes roughly 8 grad students into the program each year. That and my average from my undergraduate was about 0.02 short of their cut-off. They did send me a very nice letter saying they would have considered me…if I was one of their chosen eight!
K: So a second bachelor's was more accessible and could get better results for the money?
X: Yes, definitely. And luckily, the majority of my previous classes were transferrable, so I finished a 4-year degree in about a year-and-a-half.
K: How long was it in between your first graduation and your first Environmental Studies class?
X: 2-3 years I think.
K: What was it like being older than the typical undergrad and starting at a new school?
X: Actually it wasn't much of an age difference. There were a large number of people around my age in an undergraduate program at the public school, not just grad students. In fact, one of my first classes was with a former co-worker of mine. We had both worked at a donut/sandwich shop as bakers and used to trade stories about our lives up till then, since we had similar experiences. She had a Marine Science degree and also was unable to find work as anything other than a baker, and in the end she too went back and got another undergraduate degree at the same time I did.
There were also quite a few students who were older than myself. I was just in the middle age group. The private school [where I got my first degree] didn't have the returning ed groups.
K: Were there lessons you learned in your first college experience that helped you do better with the second?
X: Yes. I learned how to hound my professors when necessary and to fight the system and question the school if I felt something was wrong. Because of that, I had four more courses accepted as transfers than I would have otherwise 🙂 I learned the hard way at the private school, that not all professors and advisors have your best interest in mind.
K: This is going to be one of those "if you knew then what you do now…" questions. If you could go back to age 17, when you were choosing which school to attend, would you make the same decision and get a second degree later, or would you go straight to your second degree that helped you find a job?
X: That's a very tough one. I made some wonderful friends and did have some incredible experiences at the first school, and I would certainly not be where I am today without that experience. And honestly, I really didn't know that my current field existed at that time. I think maybe I would do it again, but smarter this time…but maybe not.
K: lol! But that's an interesting point — Environmental Science wasn't popular at the time of your first degree, and I bet there weren't nearly as many programs available then. Is it possible that your Biology degree had become outdated? There could be other students like you who could use a second Bachelor's for the same reason.
X: It's quite possible. There's a lot of overlap between the two. My marine biology degree was more about giving you knowledge, not applying it. The environmental studies degree was about knowledge and how to use it in practical ways, i.e. EMPLOYMENT.
K: It's also a growing field.
X: I think a lot of Marine Biology jobs right now fall more under oceanography, and studying ecology of marine ecosystems. These are also majors available at schools today. Marine Biology I think is a little too vague now. It can cover just about everything without really focusing, or focusing too much on something to the point of no longer being useful. While the name says marine, it's not only saltwater, but also freshwater environments that it includes.
K: Most people picking their majors at college probably don't think about how they can pick a degree in a field whose relevance will be lasting. Knowing what you know now, how would you advise they do that?
X: If I knew that I would be making millions doing public speaking at schools! The environment, though, is a sure bet as far as having a growing trend. I think water will be very important in the future. Water system ecology, waste management, chemistry. I think you need to look at the current issues and trends over the last 10 years. That shows you what our problems are, and what the issues and needed jobs continue to be.
That and truck driving. There is never a shortage of long-haul driver positions.
K: True! I think this seems like a good place to end. Thank you so much for sitting down and taking the time to do this interview. It's worthy of a two-parter.
