Sex Discrimination and British Columbia's Human Rights State, 1953-84
By Dominique Clément
SERIES: Law and Society
In Equality Deferred, Dominique Clément traces the history of sex discrimination in Canadian law and the origins of human rights legislation, demonstrating how governments inhibit the application of their own laws, and how it falls to social movements to create, promote, and enforce these laws.
Focusing on British Columbia – the first jurisdiction to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex – Clément documents a variety of absurd, almost unbelievable, acts of discrimination. The province was at the forefront of the women's movement, which produced the country's first rape crisis centres, first feminist newspaper, and first battered women's shelters. And yet nowhere else in the country was human rights law more contested. For an entire generation, the province's two dominant political parties fought to impose their respective vision of the human rights state. This history of human rights law, based on previously undisclosed records of British Columbia's human rights commission, begins with the province's first equal pay legislation in 1953 and ends with the collapse of the country's most progressive human rights legal regime in 1984.
This book is not only a testament to the revolutionary impact of human rights on Canadian law but also a reminder that it takes more than laws to effect transformative social change.

Dominique Clément has written a balanced account of the importance of human rights codes in promoting ideals of fairness and tolerance in Canada, and the simultaneous failure of human rights litigation (and education) to dismantle systemic discrimination. This book will be essential reading not only for human rights scholars but also for all those interested in equity and the promotion of social justice. Lori Chambers is a professor in the Department of Women's Studies at Lakehead University
Dominique Clément's book is timely. The purpose and value of human rights are being challenged in the press and even in parliament. If we are to avoid an extended era of human rights retrenchment, it is important to learn what has been accomplished and how human rights codes and commissions have affected our lives. James W. St. G. Walker is a professor in the Department of History at the University of Waterloo
Equality Deferred is engaging and well researched ... Throughout, Clément challenges readers to recognize the victories of the human rights state while at the same time acknowledging its inability to address systemic discrimination ... [This] is an important contribution to the history of human rights; but, just as significantly, it reminds us of the contemporary opportunities and limits of a human rights state in achieving gender justice. Lisa Pasolli, Trent University, BC Studies
Curious about the origins of our human rights protections? This marvellous book presents fascinating insights. It romps through stories of the courageous individuals who claimed those human rights. It profiles the discriminators in all their egregious glory. And it probes the underbelly of the Canadian state that mediated between the two. Dominique Clément is by turns brilliant, challenging, and inspiring. Read this and ponder our history ... and our future.

United Launch Alliance has declared this launch a success.
The Colorado-based launch services company, formed in 2006 by merging the rocket divisions of Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., announced the mission was a success in a press release.
"Today's successful launch of the NROL-39 mission is a testament to the tremendous government-industry partnership. We greatly appreciate the teamwork with the NRO Office of Space Launch and our many mission partners," said Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president of Atlas and Delta programs, in the press release. "We are honored to be entrusted to launch these one-of-a-kind national assets to orbit to protect our national security and to support the many brave men and women serving around the world."
Still to come later this morning is the deployment of 12 CubeSat secondary payloads.
The next Atlas 5 launch is set for Jan. 23 from Cape Canaveral with NASA's next Tracking and Data Relay Satellite.
0729 GMT (11:29 p.m. PST; 2:29 a.m. EST)
We expect a press release from United Launch Alliance later tonight once the mission is complete, and NASA says there will be updates on the status of the 12 CubeSat payloads in about three hours.
The Atlas 5 has flown into a scheduled news blackout with jettison of the rocket's payload shroud. The veil of secrecy surrounding the launch of this classified satellite means no further information about the progress of the ascent nor release of the payload will be announced in real-time.
0718:15 GMT (11:18:15 p.m. PST; 2:18:15 a.m. EST)
T+plus 3 minutes, 45 seconds. The two-halves of the Atlas 5 rocket nose cone encapsulating the spacecraft have separated. Also jettisoned was the Forward Load Reactor, a two-piece deck that rings the Centaur stage to support the bulbous fairing during launch.
T+plus 3 minutes. RD-180 is performing well as the rocket climbs away from the planet on its south-southwesterly trajectory.
Altitude is 39 miles, downrange distance is 29 miles, and velocity is 3,235 mph.
T+plus 2 minutes, 30 seconds. The rocket now weighs half of what it did at liftoff.
T+plus 2 minutes. Atlas is looking good as the engine eases back to 95 percent throttle.
T+plus 85 seconds. Mach 1 as the main engine fires at full throttle.
T+plus 80 seconds. The post-liftoff roll maneuver is complete, putting the rocket in the correct orientation for the flight downrange.
T+plus 60 seconds. One minute into the ascent.
T+plus 30 seconds. The RD-180 main engine is burning bright as the Atlas majestically rises into the evening sky.
T+plus 15 seconds. And the vehicle has cleared the tower at Space Launch Complex 3.
LIFTOFF! Liftoff of the Atlas 5 rocket on the NROL-39 mission, delivering a national security satellite to orbit for the U.S. government.
T-minus 20 seconds. "Go Atlas" and "Go Centaur" was just called by launch team during a final status check.
T-minus 40 seconds. Centaur's liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks are stable at flight pressures.
T-minus 1 minute. Now 60 seconds from launch at America's western spaceport.
T-minus 90 seconds. The safety system has been armed.
T-minus 1 minute, 50 seconds. Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellant topping to the Centaur upper stage is being secured.
T-minus 1 minute, 55 seconds. The launch sequencer has been commanded to start.
T-minus 2 minutes. The Atlas first stage and Centaur upper stage are now switching from ground power to internal batteries.
T-minus 2 minutes, 30 seconds. The first stage RP-1 kerosene fuel tank and the liquid oxygen have stepped up to proper flight pressure levels.
T-minus 3 minutes. The Atlas first stage liquid oxygen replenishment is being secured so the tank can be pressurized for launch.
T-minus 3 minutes, 50 seconds. The ground pyrotechnics have been enabled.
T-minus 4 minutes and counting. Clocks have resumed for the final minutes of tonight's countdown to launch the Atlas 5 rocket carrying a clandestine payload for the National Reconnaissance Office. Liftoff is set to occur at 11:13 p.m. PST.
The launch director and the mission director each have given their approval to press onward with the countdown. Clocks will resume in one minute.
All systems are reported "go" to continue with the countdown for liftoff at 11:14:30 p.m. PST (0714:30 GMT; 2:14:30 a.m. EST)
The launch team is being polled for a "go" or "no go" to proceed with the count.
Now 8 minutes away from the scheduled launch time. The final readiness polls will be performed shortly.
The NROL-39 payload is transitioning to internal power at this time.
Here's a look at some stats about today's mission. This will be:
The 624th launch for Atlas program since 1957
The 213th mission for the Centaur upper stage
The 190th use of Centaur by an Atlas rocket
The 442nd production RL10 engine to be launched

The 77th United Launch Alliance flight overall
The 11th ULA launch of the year
The 8th Atlas launch of 2013
The 5th launch from Vandenberg in 2013
T-minus 4 minutes and holding. The countdown has entered the planned hold to give the launch team a chance to review all systems before pressing ahead with liftoff. Today's launch time is aimed for 11:14:30 p.m. PST.
T-minus 5 minutes. Standing by to go into the final built-in hold.
All three cryogenic tanks are reported at flight level, and the RD-180 engine's fuel fill sequence is complete.
Weather conditions are acceptable for liftoff at 11:14:30 p.m. PST. Despite cold temperatures, all of the weather rules are "go" for liftoff.
Twenty minutes from liftoff now. The countdown clocks are heading to the T-minus 4 minute mark where a planned 10-minute hold will occur. Launch of Atlas 5 remains scheduled for 11:14:30 p.m. PST (0714:30 GMT; 2:14:30 a.m. EST).
After the upcoming hold begins, officials and the launch team will conduct a series of final readiness checks before resuming the countdown.
The fuel-fill sequence for the first stage main engine is underway.
With a half-hour to go until launch time, there are no issues reported that could prevent a liftoff at 11:14:30 p.m. PST (0714:30 GMT; 2:14:30 a.m. EST).
The Centaur's liquid hydrogen tank is reported at flight level.
The Atlas 5 rocket's rigid body first stage is known as the Common Core Booster. The CCB replaced the "balloon" pressure-stabilized stage used by previous Atlas vehicles.
It is equipped with the RD-180 liquid-fueled main engine. This liquid oxygen/kerosene powerplant is a two-thrust chamber, two-nozzle engine.
As the CCB's name suggests, the stage is common and is used in all the various configurations of the Atlas 5 family. The booster stage is 106.6 feet long and 12.5 feet diameter.
The workhorse Centaur upper stage has flown in various configurations for decades and will be making its 207th mission with tonight's launch. For this launch, the stage will use one Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10A-4-2 liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine that develops a thrust of about 22,300 pounds.
The stage is 41.5 feet in length and 10 feet it diameter. It also houses the navigation unit that serves as the rocket's guidance brain.
0629 GMT (10:29 p.m. EST; 1:29 a.m. EST)
The version of the Atlas 5 flying tonight is known as the "501" variant with no solid rocket boosters, a five-meter diameter payload fairing and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.
Get to know the United Launch Alliance rocket with this cutaway view of the launcher.
Rising off the pad in a slow, majestic fashion, the 20-story Atlas vehicle will deliver nearly a million pounds of ground-shaking thrust for the late-night departure.
The rocket will surpass the speed of sound less than 90 seconds after liftoff, and the five-meter diameter nose shroud built by RUAG Space of Switzerland will be jettisoned a little over three minutes into flight.
With that milestone, the flight is expected to enter a news blackout with no real-time information on the mission's progress, including events such as staging and firings of the Centaur upper stage's RL10 engine.
ULA and the National Reconnaissance Office plan to issue press releases once the mission is complete Friday morning.
The liquid hydrogen tank in the Centaur upper stage just reached the 97 percent level. Topping is now beginning.
Fast-filling of the first stage liquid oxygen tank has been completed. Topping mode is now underway.
The Centaur liquid hydrogen tank is 60 percent loaded so far. The cryogenic propellant will be consumed with liquid oxygen by the stage's Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10 engine.
Liquid oxygen on the Centaur upper stage has reached flight level.
Now 60 minutes from liftoff. All activities are proceeding toward a liftoff at 11:14:30 p.m. PST (0714:30 GMT; 2:14:40 a.m. EST).
The first stage liquid oxygen tank is passing 80 percent full.
Chilldown of the liquid hydrogen system is now complete, allowing the super-cold rocket fuel to begin filling the Centaur upper stage.
0558 GMT (9:58 p.m. PST; 12:58 a.m. EST)
First stage liquid oxygen tank is passing the half-full mark. Chilled to Minus-298 degrees F, the liquid oxygen will be used with RP-1 kerosene by the RD-180 main engine on the first stage during the initial minutes of flight today. The 25,000 gallons of RP-1 were loaded into the rocket earlier.
The Centaur engine chilldown sequence is being initiated.
The Centaur liquid oxygen tank reached the 96.4 percent level and the topping off process is starting.
The Atlas first stage liquid oxygen tank is now 20 percent full.
Now 90 minutes from liftoff. There are no reports of technical troubles from the launch team and the weather is beautiful but chilly for tonight's countdown. Fueling operations remain in work for launch at 11:14:30 p.m. local time.
The Centaur liquid oxygen tank is 75 percent full now.
And the chilldown conditioning of liquid hydrogen propellant lines is starting to prepare the plumbing for transferring the Minus-423 degree F fuel into the rocket. The Centaur holds about 13,000 gallons of the cryogenic propellant.
The first stage liquid oxygen loading is switching from slow-fill to fast-fill mode as the countdown continues as planned.
Half of the Centaur's liquid oxygen tank has been filled.
NEW LAUNCH TIME. The countdown will be adjusted at the T-minus 4 minute hold to target a new launch time of 11:14:30 p.m. PST (0714:30 GMT; 2:14:30 a.m. EST).
Filling of the Centaur upper stage with about 4,300 gallons of liquid oxygen is beginning at Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 3 following the thermal conditioning of the transfer pipes.
The Centaur liquid oxygen is now at the 10 percent level.
The liquid oxygen -- chilled to Minus-298 degrees F -- will be consumed during the launch by the Centaur's single RL10 engine along with liquid hydrogen to be pumped into the stage a little later in the countdown.
T-minus 120 minutes and counting! The launch countdown has resumed for this evening's flight of the Atlas 5 rocket following the planned half-hour built-in hold.
Clocks have one more hold scheduled at T-minus 4 minutes. That pause will last 10 minutes during which time the final "go" for launch will be given. All remains targeted for liftoff at 11:13 p.m. PST local time (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST) from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
The launch team and all systems are "go" to proceed with the countdown this evening as planned.
Loading of cryogenic liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen into the Atlas 5 rocket will be getting underway a short time from now.
0458 GMT (8:58 p.m. PST; 11:58 p.m. EST Thurs.)
The Atlas launch conductor is briefing his team on procedures before entering into the final two hours of the countdown. A readiness check of the team members is next.
Atlas 5 represents the culmination of evolution stretching back several decades to America's first intercontinental ballistic missile. At the dawn of the space age, boosters named Atlas launched men into orbit during Project Mercury and became a frequent vehicle of choice to haul civil, military and commercial spacecraft to orbit.
Topped with the high-energy Centaur upper stage, Atlas rockets have been used since the 1960s to dispatch ground-breaking missions for NASA, including the Surveyors to the Moon, Mariner flights to Mars, Venus and Mercury, and the Pioneers that were the first to visit Jupiter and beyond.
In its newest era, the Atlas 5 rocket sent the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to the red planet in 2005, propelled the New Horizons probe toward Pluto and the solar system's outer fringes in 2006, doubled up with the dual Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and LCROSS impactor to the Moon in 2009, hurled Juno to Jupiter in August 2011, dispatched the car-sized Curiosity rover on the Mars Science Lab mission in November 2011, and deployed a pair of hardened probes in the heart of Earth's radiation belts in August 2012.
Most recently, an Atlas 5 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral sent NASA's MAVEN atmospheric research probe on the way to Mars on Nov. 18.
Today marks the 42nd flight for Atlas 5, born of the Air Force's competition to develop next-generation Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles. In its previous 41 missions since debuting in August 2002, the tally shows 15 flights dedicated to the Defense Department, 10 missions for NASA, nine flights with commercial payloads, and seven with spy satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The SLC-3 launch pad is clear of all personnel for the remainder of the count.
T-minus 2 hours and holding. The countdown has just entered the first of the planned holds over the course of the evening that will lead to the 11:13 p.m. PST (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST) launch of the Atlas-Centaur rocket. This initial pause lasts 30 minutes, giving the team some margin in the countdown timeline to deal with technical issues or any work that is running behind. The final hold is scheduled to occur at T-minus 4 minutes.
Workers have wrapped up all of their hands-on activities at the launch pad and cleared the area in advance of this evening's propellant loading and launch of the Atlas 5 rocket.
The launch team is clearing the pad in preparation for fueling of the two-stage Atlas 5 rocket.
The forecast for liftoff time three hours from now predicts a 60 percent chance of meeting the launch weather rules. The only concern is cold temperatures during tanking of the rocket with cryogenic propellants.
The C-band tracking and S-band telemetry system testing has been accomplished.
Preps for the Atlas first stage liquid oxygen system and pneumatics, as well as Centaur liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen systems have been completed. Other work that occurs at this portion of the countdown include internal battery checks and testing of the C-band system used to track the rocket as it flies downrange.
The mobile service tower has been secured in its launch position. The ground crew has closed its doors and will finish final buttoning up of pad equipment over the next hour before all workers clear the pad for the remainder of the countdown.
Today's launch will be the seventh Atlas 5 rocket to fly from Vandenberg's Space Launch Ccomplex 3-East pad. The site underwent an extensive overhaul, with construction occurring in 2004 and 2005, to accommodate the larger and more powerful Atlas 5 family of rockets. Some of the major modifications included:
30-foot extension to mobile service tower
20-foot exhaust duct depth increase
250-ton Fixed Launch Platform installed
Significant ambient and cryogenic fluid ground system modifications
Complete replacement of the Ground Command/Control/Communication system
New and refurbished Launch Control/Mission Support Centers
Now entering the final four hours in the countdown to launch at 11:13 p.m. local time.

U.S. readers can also sign up from their phone by texting "follow spaceflightnow" to 40404. (Standard text messaging charges apply.)
0242 GMT (6:42 p.m. PST; 9:42 p.m. EST Thurs.)
The tower is clear of the vehicle as it slowly rolls away from the rocket. Atlas 5 has been unveiled for its 42nd launch.
At the Space Launch Complex 3 pad, the mobile service gantry has been configured for its retraction away from the Atlas 5 rocket this evening. Technicians are ready to wheel the 8-million-pound tower to its launch position a short distance from the 20-story-tall booster.
The structure and its internal crane was instrumental in assembling the rocket and payload during the pre-flight campaign.
Check out photos of the Atlas 5 rocket on the launch pad this morning.
Countdown activities are proceeding as planned and the rocket's guidance system is being tested right now.
The formal countdown has begun with power-up of the rocket to begin standard pre-flight tests to ready the Atlas 5 for tonight's clandestine satellite deployment mission.
Rollback of the mobile service tower from around the rocket is scheduled to start about five hours before launch.
Crews at the pad will make preparations to systems and equipment before the site is cleared of all personnel before fueling can start.
A planned hold begins when the count reaches T-minus 120 minutes. With five minutes remaining in the hold, the team will be polled to verify all is in readiness to start loading propellant into the rocket for launch.
Supercold liquid oxygen begins flowing into the Centaur upper stage, followed by the Atlas first stage. Liquid hydrogen fuel loading for Centaur will be completed a short time later.
A final hold is scheduled at the T-minus 4 minute mark. That will give the team a chance to finish any late work and assess the status of the rocket, payload, Range and weather before proceeding into the last moments of the countdown.
Liftoff is scheduled for 11:13 p.m. local time (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST). The duration of the launch window remains a secret for this classified National Reconnaissance Office mission.
2155 GMT (1:55 p.m. PST; 4:55 p.m. EST)
In a turnaround from yesterday's forecast, there is now a 60 percent chance temperatures will cooperate for launch of an Atlas 5 rocket tonight at 11:13 p.m. PST (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST).
The main threat continues to be cold temperatures that could violate constraints for fueling of the 206-foot-tall rocket with cryogenic propellants. That activity is set to get underway about two hours before launch.
Officials from United Launch Alliance and the U.S. government gave approval today to press ahead with final preparations for Thursday night's liftoff of an Atlas 5 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, but meteorologists predict cold temperatures along California's Central Coast will likely prevent launch.
The launch readiness review today gave a green light for Thursday's countdown, which is targeting liftoff at 11:13 p.m. PST Thursday (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST Friday) from Space Launch Complex 3-East at Vandenberg.
There is an 80 percent chance cold weather will keep the launch team from even fueling the rocket, according to Air Force forecasters.
There is a temperature limit of 42 degrees Fahrenheit during the final phase of the countdown Thursday evening. Cryogenic tanking of the Atlas 5 with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen is due to begin at 9:20 p.m. PST (0520 GMT; 12:20 a.m. EST).
Temperatures are forecast to be about 45 degrees Fahrenheit at 9 p.m. PST, dropping to around 41 degrees by launch time.
Otherwise, clear skies are predicted for the launch with northerly winds of 10 knots gusting to 15 knots. Drying conditions will prevent the formation of fog in the area.
The forecast for Friday evening, in the event of a 24-hour delay, calls for slightly warmer conditions but thick clouds move over Vandenberg. There is an overall probability of weather violation of 60 percent Friday.
The Atlas 5 is flying in the "501" configuration with a five-meter payload fairing, no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage. The medium-length version of the five-meter fairing is being employed for this launch, making the rocket's total height approximately 206 feet.
The customer for the mission is the National Reconnaissance Office, the U.S. government's spy satellite agency. The payload's specific purpose is top secret, but it is likely a low-orbiting surveillance satellite.
Check out images of the payload's attachment to the Atlas 5 rocket.
An Atlas 5 rocket is scheduled to launch a classified satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office on Thursday, and the preliminary forecast shows cold temperatures at the California launch site will be the only weather concern.
The United Launch Alliance rocket is set to launch at 11:13 p.m. PST Thursday (0713 GMT; 2:13 a.m. EST Friday) from Space Launch Complex 3-East, or SLC-3E at Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's Central Coast.
Located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Vandenberg is the primary launch base on the U.S. West Coast.
The launch should be visible across the Central Coast as the 19-story booster ascends into the night sky southwest from Vandenberg.
The mission is codenamed NROL-39, and the U.S. government's spy satellite agency is not releasing any details on the payload.
The flight will mark the eighth and final Atlas 5 launch of the year, and the second from California. The last liftoff from the SLC-3E complex was the Feb. 11 launch of the Landsat 8 Earth observation satellite for NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
"Vandenberg has successfully made it through many obstacles to get to this point of launch preparations," said Col. Keith Balts, commander of the Air Force's 30th Space Wing garrisoned at Vandenberg. "With the last Minuteman 3 test launch postponed due to the [government] shutdown, we are excited to come back from Thanksgiving break and showcase our unique mission."
"A launch like this takes teamwork and dedication," said Lt. Col. James Bodnar, commander of the 4th Space Launch Squadron, which is responsible for mission assurance and safety for Thursday's Atlas 5 launch. "Our mission assurance technicians and engineers have worked hand in hand with United Launch Alliance going over critical procedures and tasks to ensure this week's launch is a safe and successful one."
The first official weather forecast issued by the Air Force on Monday shows generally favorable conditions for Thursday's launch, but a cold air mass is expected to take hold later this week.
"Temperatures will be a concern," the forecast said. "A high of 55 F during the day will continue to drop through the night, reaching 42 F by T-0. Drying conditions will prevent development of the marine layer over land."
There is a 30 percent chance the cold temperatures will prevent launch Thursday night. Temperatures must be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit during fueling of the two-stage rocket with cryogenic propellants.
The forecast calls for clear skies, northwest winds at 10 to 15 knots, a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and a visibility of 7 miles.
Meteorologists predict slightly warmer temperatures Friday night, with no chance of a weather violation.

With more than 20 million people affected by Monday's Wenchuan earthquake, an official death count of 15,000 and 40,000 still missing, the next few days are likely to see a jump in the number of dead. As the focus of relief efforts shifts from saving lives to clearing rubble and rebuilding what once were towns and cities, the economic toll of the quake is expected to be massive.
With Kunming's proximity to Sichuan and its large Sichuanese population, there are many local residents concerned about how to help their neighbors to the north. Earlier this week we posted information on how to contribute to the Chinese Red Cross - also this Sunday night Speakeasy Bar and GoKunming are co-organizing a night of music to benefit the Red Cross' efforts in Sichuan.
Beginning at 8:30 pm, the earthquake benefit show at Speakeasy Bar will feature a diverse sampling of Kunming's local music scene, including Co Op Sol, Zhu Xiaolong, JP, Li Fan, People's Rhythm, Synthatron and DJ Kris, with more acts likely to be added in the next couple of days. Admission to the show is a 20 yuan donation, which includes a complimentary bottle of Yanjing Beer.
GoKunming thanks Speakeasy Bar and all the performers donating their time and talents to this worthy cause.


The Field Operations Division, commanded by Major William Jackson, consists of all police precincts including general investigations as well as the Gang Interdiction Task Force.
Taking a proactive approach to build stronger police-community relationships, the Field Operations Division conducts a Stop, Walk and Talk throughout the city in each of the four precincts. Once a week the precinct captain and a police officer assigned to patrol that specific area will stop in a neighborhood, walk the neighborhood, and talk to citizens about what's going on in the community they live. Through Stop, Walk and Talk citizens get to know their police officers one-on-one. The initiative is also designed to help the police officers do their jobs better in protecting and serving.


The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the People's Committee of Phu Tho Province are urgently completing a dossier to submit to UNESCO for recognition of the "Belief and Hung Temple Festival" as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Up to 22 capital and cities around the world and foreign embassies in Vietnam have registered to take part in activities marking 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi that will be held later this year.
Hanoi has received UNESCO's certificate recognising 82 stone steles in the Temple of Literature as World Documentary Heritage. The stele engraved with doctoral records during the Le and Mac dynasties (1442-1779) were recognised at the annual meeting of the Committee for World Memory in Asian-Pacific in Macao, China in mid March.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) has planned marketing activities in France and other Western Europe countries for late August.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) is calling on local and foreign individual and organizations to make a new logo and slogan for marketing activities of the country's tourism in the 2011-2015 period, an official said.

'Our children were burning, and we just watched' A fire at a shopping center in Russia kills at least 64 people. Meduza reports from Kemerovo.

On Sunday, March 25, the "Winter Cherry" shopping center in Kemerovo caught fire. The blaze started on the fourth floor, near the movie theater, where many children had come to see "Sherlock Gnomes." At 11:30 a.m. on Monday, federal emergency workers put the death toll at 64 people, saying another six were still trapped under the building's rubble, which in some places had started to reignite. Meduza correspondent Irina Kravtsova went to Kemerovo, as the fire continued to put lives in danger.
The "Winter Cherry" started burning at about 4 p.m., local time in Kemerovo, and by 5 p.m. relatives of the people caught inside the shopping center first started gathering at the gymnasium of the nearest school. By 6 p.m., the gym was full of people awaiting any information from emergency workers. Upstairs, school officials propped up mattresses on chairs, so family members could lie down and try to rest. By seven in the morning on Monday, when Meduza's correspondent arrived at the school, there were maybe 50 people still there, still waiting for information about their loved ones.
Beneath the basketball hoop in the gym, atop several school desks, there was a 12-liter yellow bucket of tea, a can of instant coffee, cheese sandwiches, and plastic cups full of water and the herbal sedative valerian root. People were sitting on benches at the center of the gym, some in twos, some in threes, and some people sat alone. Among the crowd were Alexander and Olga Lillevyali, covering themselves with a checkered white and blue blanket. Three of their daughters had just burned alive. Two of them were eleven years old. The youngest was five.
Alexander says he took his daughters to the mall on Sunday to see "Sherlock Gnomes." The movie theater was on the fourth floor. He bought each girl a ticket and a box of popcorn, showed them to their seats, and then walked down to the first floor to wait. The show started at 2:40 p.m., but about 30 minutes later one of his daughters called him and said the theater was filling up with smoke, and they couldn't get out because the doors locked. Lillevyali started running back upstairs, seeing that the whole shopping center was now filling with smoke.
"As I was running up the stairs, somebody handed me a wet rag, and I used it to cover my nose. When I reached the fourth floor, I broke a window to send the draft upwards. Then I collapsed," said Alexander. "I started crawling, but I realized at this point that I'd lost all strength. I'd inhaled so much carbon monoxide that I was about to faint. My daughter kept calling me and calling me. I just shouted into the phone that she needed to try to get out of the theater, but there was nothing I could do. In front of me, it was already flames." As the man spoke, tears streamed down his face. He pressed his hands to his eyes, trying to stop himself.
Unable to reach his children, Alexander ran back down the stairs, trying to find any rescue workers to help. Outside the mall, he met the first team of emergency responders: firemen come to put out the blaze.
"I told them that there were children locked in a smoke-filled theater on the fourth floor. That they needed to be rescued, and they were still alive. They agreed, but they took three minutes — three fucking minutes! — to put on their masks! And only then did they come into the building," Lillevyali says. "I showed them the stairwell that was the fastest way up to the movie theater, and they started to follow me, but then some guy told them that there was a fire at the mall's central staircase, and those bastards followed him off. I told them: 'Give me one of your masks! I'll pull them out myself!' But they told me: 'Can't do it. Everything has to be according to regulations.' My girls were left to burn because of the goddamn regulations."
A social worker in a red jacket walked into the gymnasium. In a loud voice, she asked everyone, "Whose child had a cross around his neck on a red cord?" A woman near the entrance who seemed to be sleeping on her husband's knees suddenly sat up.
"Are you sure it was red? Maybe it was more orange?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. But it was red — scarlet, in fact," the social work answered.
Olga Lillevyali came to the "Winter Cherry" as soon as her husband called and said their children were dead.
"While the fire burned, we stood outside for six hours, and nobody came out to talk to us even once!" the woman says. "At about 5:30 [p.m.], the police cordoned off the shopping center. The officers were pushy. We ran across the street, back and forth, while the 'Cherry' burned. They didn't let us come near, and they didn't explain anything. There were plumes of smoke above the building, our children were burning, and we just watched."
People outside the burning "Winter Cherry" shopping center
Olga says she kept coming back to the school, where emergency workers set up a headquarters, to ask for any news. But there never was any. "They just shoved cookies and sandwiches in our mouths," she says. "My husband and I tried to stop one of the police officers at the school, to ask him what to expect, but he waved us away rudely. They didn't care. Finally, my husband and I couldn't take it anymore, and we started yelling, 'Seredyuk, get out here!' We'd heard on the news that he was somewhere there at the school. Think about it: we learned this from the news! He didn't even have the guts to come out and face us. By about 9:30 [p.m.], my husband grabbed a police officer by the shirt and started to scream, "Show yourself! Will you tell us how many children died? What should we expect? Where can we get information?" Olga says she knows the mayor, and she knows that Seredyuk has three children, which is why she was particularly shocked by his unresponsiveness.
The first announcement to the gathered relatives came at about 10 in the evening. According to eyewitnesses, deputy head of the local emergency workers Evgeny Dedyukhin appeared to be extremely confused when speaking, telling the crowd only that firefighters were on the scene, and there was nothing more known at the time. Closer to 11, Mayor Ilya Seredyuk and Lieutenant Governor Vladimir Chernov addressed the group at the school. People shouted at the mayor, demanding that officials report on the rescue effort every 20 minutes. Witnesses say they granted this request for a bit, before disappearing once again. It seemed like the local officials didn't know what they were doing, people told Meduza. Witnesses say a group of tough-looking men surrounded and guarded Seredyuk and Chernov, each time they spoke. Olga Lillevyali says one of them "smiled" while filming her husband's face, when he demanded that the officials give the families more information.
One of the men in the gym told Meduza that, when he heard about the fire, he joked to his wife that the government would pin the whole thing on some kid with a lighter. He says he was still surprised when Kemerovo's lieutenant governor actually told the crowd that one of the children in the mall's trampoline center might have set fire to the foam filler. (According to some reports, the fire started at the children's play area.)
In the 30 minutes Meduza's correspondent spoke to Olga Lillevyali, a social worker came up to her three times and asked her to repeat how many of her children died in the fire, and how old they were. Each time, Olga dutifully answered each question. Each time, she started to cry.
"The way everything is set up in this government, you'll still have to give this evidence several more times," the social worker said. "Don't cry. You're going to need those tears. The worst is yet to come."
Afterwards, Lillevyali and her husband were summoned by investigators.
"My son is still burning, and you're shoving a sandwich down my throat"
The "Winter Cherry" wasn't the most popular shopping center in Kemerovo, but locals say it still had a good bowling alley, swimming pool, skating rink, movie theater, and cafe. That's why teachers often brought school children to this mall. Alena Zipunova says her daughter, a fifth grader named Vika, went to the "Winter Cherry" with her class on Sunday to enjoy the start of their spring break. First they bowled a few rounds, then they went skating, and then they went to the movies to see the same animated feature as the Lillevyalis, albeit on a different screen. Fifteen minutes after the movie started, the fire broke out. Nobody could get out of the theater. The entire class, along with their teacher, burned to death.
"Some of their classmates didn't want to go, but ours went," says Vika Zipunova's grandmother, sitting beside Alena in the gym. "So God kept some of them from death, but not our children."
Alena Zipunova verifies what other victims' relatives told Meduza: She spent the whole night at the school gymnasium, but she never got any information from the authorities. She says the social worker asked her how many of her children died in the fire and how old they were "about eight times." "I wanted to run outside to get away from her, if only to be alone to cry, but she found me there, too," Alena says.
Not far from Zipunova, a man addresses a group of women who have assembled around him: "I heard that a woman with two children burned to death in an elevator. She screamed and called for help, but the rescuers couldn't even get near." "They're probably mine," a young woman says hopelessly, and begins to cry.
The women in the gym mostly sit staring at the floor or the wall. When one of them suddenly starts sobbing, it spreads and soon others are weeping with her. Now and again, emergency workers and paramedics walk up and encourage people to get a breath of fresh air or eat something.
"My son is burning out there, and you're shoving a sandwich down my throat. Have you lost your mind?" a woman in a blue dress says, pushing away an emergency worker's hand. "He's probably already turned to ash, my God!"
Someone's phone rings. It's the mother whose son was wearing the cross on an orange cord. She answers and listens silently for about two minutes. When the call ends, she lowers her phone and starts crying. She's just learned that her son was found dead under the rubble. A woman working for the emergency responders runs up to her with a glass of valerian root and a syringe. "It's not supposed to be like this," she says in a barely audible voice, and continues weeping.
A memorial to the victims of the Kemerovo shopping center fire, March 26, 2018
"I have to do this"
At 6 a.m. on Monday, March 26, there's a line outside the Kemerovo regional blood bank. It's mostly young people. At one point, an employee comes outside and tells the crowd that there's no further need for blood donations. She says they can take another few people, but nobody under 130 pounds. The people in line start pleading with her to take their blood anyway. "First you said you only have to be 110 pounds!" a woman in line yells.
Eighteen-year-old Yulia Kononova told Meduza that she came to give blood to support the families who suffered in the fire. "I was going to come to the mall myself yesterday to meet with friends. My sister was going to come, too, but at the last minute we decided to stay home," the young woman says. Standing not far from her is a man named Mikhail, whose five-year-old brother burned to death on Sunday. "I have to do this," he says, when asked why he wants to give blood. In the end, however, he's turned away and told to come back on Friday for the next available appointment.
According to Ilgiz Vafin, the head doctor at the Kemerovo Blood Bank, no one informed the city's residents that the victims in Sunday's tragedy needed blood, but people started calling in and showing up 90 minutes after the fire started. By 10 a.m. on Monday, just two hours after the facility opened, 70 people had already donated blood. A half an hour later, an employee addressed the donors in line with another announcement: there was no longer a need for any new blood.

Egypt train collision kills at least 10
Cairo, Egypt, Feb 28, 2018 (AFP)
Two trains collided Wednesday in northern Egypt killing at least 10 people and injuring 15 others, the health ministry said, the latest in a string of deadly rail accidents in the country.
The crash between a freight train and a passenger train occurred at Kom Hamada in Behaira province.
Footage aired by state television showed at least two carriages had derailed in a rural stretch of land. Civilians and medics were seen removing injured passengers and carrying them to ambulances.
Health ministry official Alaa Othman told state television that all casualties had been removed from the scene of the accident.
The provincial governor Nadia Abdou told AFP that the crash happened at around 1045 GMT and that its cause was "unknown".
She pointed out that the ministry of transport and national railways were in charge of the rail facilities in the region.
The state prosecutor announced that a team of investigators had been dispatched to probe the accident.
– String of deadly accidents –
While the cause of the crash remains unclear, it comes months after 41 people died in a train collision near the coastal city of Alexandria last August.
The train drivers who survived that accident were detained for questioning.
That was the deadliest train accident in Egypt since a November 2013 collision between a train and a bus killed 27 people south of Cairo.
It came a year after a train smashed into a bus carrying school children, killing 47 people.
That accident jolted the government which ordered an investigation and sacked the transport minister and the head of the railway authority.
It was blamed on a train signal operator who had fallen asleep on the job.
The probe, however, did not prevent further accidents. Months later a train carrying military conscripts derailed, killing 17 people.
Egyptians have long complained that the government has failed to deal with chronic transport problems, with roads as poorly maintained as railway lines.
The deadliest accident on Egypt's railways dates back to 2002 when 373 people died as a fire ripped through a crowded train south of the capital.
There have been many other fatal crashes on the busy rail network.
In July 2008, at least 44 people died near Marsa Matruh in northwest Egypt when a runaway truck hurtled into a bus and several other vehicles waiting at a level crossing, shunting them into the path of a train.
In August 2006, at least 58 Egyptians were killed and 144 injured in a collision between two trains travelling on the same track.
In the wake of that crash, an Egyptian court sentenced 14 railway employees to one year in prison for neglect.

The XJC Jaguar is a two door Coupe version of Jaguar's very successful XJ Series 2 saloons. It was produced from 1974 to 1978 and only a relatively small number were built, especially V12's, which makes it a very rare and collectible classic car today.
In today's market it is rather difficult to locate an original Coupe in very good condition. In fact finding any top condition Jaguar XJ Series 2, especially a V12, is quite a challenge. Unfortunately many have found their way to the scrap yard thanks to neglectful owners and Jaguars major downfall "RUST". Many of the Coupes that come onto the market are in need of expensive repairs and rebuilds and others that seem sound may not be as good as they are represented.
Despite the fact that the Coupes are nearly fifty years old there are still some outstanding examples of XJC's around and they continue to grow in popularity as conscientious owners lavish time and money on maintenance and restorations.
As can be seen from the production figures below only 10,426 Coupes were built for world distribution compared to 116,652 XJ Series 2 Saloons. The V12 powered cars are the rarest with the Daimler V12 being scarcest of all.
Only 603 Jaguar XJC V12's were built in right hand drive and only 97 were sold new in Australia. My XJC is one of the original 97 and only 39 are known to still exist!. 140 XJC 4.2's were sold new in Australia. Over the years a small number of used Coupes have also been privately imported into Australia .
The two door XJ Coupe was based on the short wheelbase four door Jaguar XJ saloon and the front and rear designs were left unchanged, even the front windscreen and rear window are the same, but from the side the difference is very obvious. The first prototypes were built using short wheelbase series 1 XJ saloons and one of these prototype vehicles still exists and lives in Western Australia.
Jaguar used as many existing parts and panels as possible from the four door saloon to minimise development costs. For example, the door shells were made by joining an extended section to the end of the original saloon door to provide a 100mm (four inch) longer door rather than manufacture an entirely new door shell. A large strengthening panel runs through the middle of the door and this plus the elaborate window operating mechanism results in rather heavy doors which required heavy duty hinges. The XJC uses the stock sill panels from the short wheelbase saloon and if you look closely you can see the indentation where the original centre pillar was intended to be welded.
During development of the Coupe Jaguar experienced a great deal of difficulty in sealing the side windows to the roof line and this delayed the release of the XJC for quite a while. To overcome the sealing problems the engineers developed rather complex door and rear quarter window mechanisms. The power windows had to to raise and lower easily but still maintain enough pressure to keep the windows against their seals, even at high speed. An additional objective was to have the windows completely disappear inside the panels to provide a windowless side presentation with the windows down. This system must have taken a large amount of development time but wind noise at high speed and poor weather sealing is still a common problem with the XJC today.
The Coupes were produced in both Jaguar and the more upmarket Daimler versions and they were all fitted with a vinyl roof. Various theories have been put forward to explain the vinyl roof but the most common belief is that it was a design decision to enhance the appearance of the pillarless saloon. Only a handful of special order XJC's left the factory without a vinyl roof but some owners have removed them over the years.
The interior is the same as the short wheelbase saloon except that the front seats fold forward to allow access to the rear seat and the seat belt anchor points were also moved. Rear seat accommodation, leg and head room are much better than most two door Coupes and the large front doors make entry and exit much easier than the saloons. The combination of leather trim and polished timber add a touch of old world charm to the interior, although the general design was a bit dated when it was built.
Unfortunately the 70's were not a good period for corporate Jaguar (under Leyland control) and this was reflected on the production line where disgruntled workers were not concerned about quality control. and all Jaguars suffered. If you take a close look at a Series 2 Jag you will notice many fixtures and fittings that could have been better finished and the paint and panel fit is often poor.
The XJC used the same mechanical specifications as the saloon and the superb four wheel disk brakes (four pot callipers and ventilated rotors on the front), fully independent suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering were very advanced for the time and provided the cars with a legendary smooth and quiet ride with exceptional handling and braking. Even today the front and rear mechanical assemblies are in demand by builders of performance cars, kit cars, hot rods and Cobra replicas etc.
The XJC could be ordered with either the legendary 4.2 litre, twin overhead cam six cylinder with 170 bhp (127kw) or the powerful but thirsty 5.3 litre V12 with 285 bhp (212kw). The V12's lightweight aluminium block and heads, sophisticated overhead camshafts and advanced fuel injection provided a powerful and unburstable engine that propelled the XJC to a top speed of 140 mph (225 kph).

Austin singer/songwriter Tje Austin recently released his new EP, I Belong to You, and we've taken our time to digest every morsel of it. Tje is a talented musician, that's pretty evident in everything that he does, but did you know that he also has another big talent that he likes to share with the world? Austin is also a home pastry chef, though his Instagram photo might lead you to believe that he's a professional.
Like many successful people who made names for themselves, Tje got his start in a University of Texas dorm.
From there, Tje began playing around town and honing skills and talents that ended up landing him on season 1 of "The Voice" in 2011 where he, along with blues man Nakia, represented Austin wonderfully.
But a few sleepless nights helped to add to Tje's creative repertoire: "I was having sleep issues and I couldn't always write a song so i decided to start baking. I follow a lot of cool bakers on Instagram and I wanted to try to emulate what they were doing. Baking is just another creative outlet for me now," Tje said.
If you're wondering, those Instagram inspirations include @heysugaphotos @jojoromancer @stylesweetca @preppykitchen, and you can find Tje Austin's cakes at @tjeaustinmusic. There you'll see him bake up a few of his favorites, including a chocolate porter cake with a chocolate buttercream frosting or a lemon zucchini cake.
And yes, Tje is interested in pursuing baking professionally one day, and gets excited at the thought of being an apprentice baker in the future. His natural talent is already so evident, we can't wait to see what he has in store with some serious training under his belt.
Now back to the music… Tje counts among his musical inspirations John Legend, India Arie, Adele, Sam Smith, and Ed Sheeran, which is evident in his work."I love how they all are creatively. I love the melody choices they use in songs," he explained.
Unless you happen to know Tje Austin personally, you will probably only get to marvel over his cakes with your eyes until he begins taking his hobby up to that professional level, though he does occasionally sell a few things online (be sure to follow him on Instagram). You can, however, listen to his music via his new EP, I Belong to You, and go see him live (follow him on Facebook and check out his website to learn about upcoming shows).
In the meantime, here are a few of our favorite tracks from the EP, which we've paired with the perfect baked good to nibble on while you listen.
Tje's smooth, loving voice voice combined with a full band, but specifically a beautiful horn section manages to be both mournful and hopeful at the same time. He knows he's hurting right now, but knows that after a few good benders the hangover and heartache will both eventually clear up.
Almost as bad as full on heartbreak is that ache that comes with being placed in the friend zone. In Higher, Tje implores his love interest to let him take her higher with a fun, funky track full of heavy bass licks and beautiful falsettos. This one will have you dancing around the kitchen as you attempt to look for a snack that tries to come close to something like this chocolate Oreo cake that rises to the occasion.
for tonight's gig with the @argylesband i made a cake for our bassist @kmcvein. Happy birthday dude!
While the title describes a potential relationship with the singer, just read between the lines a little to know that he's also saying "I will feed you the best baked goods you've ever had" when he sings to his love interest that "I could be so good for you, you could be so good for me… Just get to know me." This upbeat, hopeful ballad is fresh, uplifting, and sweet, just like this gorgeous fruit-topped tres leches cake.
Now go check out Tje Austin's new album, yourself, and see just how sweet it is.


Following the death of a loved one last year, Marquise Carter decided he wanted more for his life, including steady employment.
Interested in construction, Carter, 29, earned his GED late last year and enrolled in Service Employment Redevelopment Metro — Detroit's skilled-trades education program.
SER Metro is among three Detroit-based nonprofit organizations awarded a total of $510,000 from Citi Foundation to help Detroiters like Carter prepare for careers in growing industries.
Citi Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation recently announced the funding, through LISC's Bridges to Career Opportunities initiative, which helps unemployed and underemployed Detroiters.
The funding is part of a $10 million, three-year national effort by Citi Foundation and LISC to expand the initiative. More than 600 Detroiters are expected to benefit from the local funding.
The other local recipients are Focus: HOPE which offers robotics training for careers in automation, manufacturing and information technology, and Operation ABLE which is expanding its culinary arts training. Operation ABLE is also launching a program focused on entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry.
The three organizations were chosen during a competitive process, said Jacqueline Burau, senior program officer for the Local Initiatives Support Corporation.
In addition to skills training, the funding will provide students personal-finance coaching and courses to improve math and reading skills. It also provides resources to help job seekers find transportation, child care and housing.
SER Metro has provided job training since 1971. It holds an eight-week training program for construction trades four times a year.
Carter is halfway through the program. He says the class has worked on math skills and received safety training. On Friday, he worked alongside about a dozen students on the framing of a single-family house they're building in Westland through a partnership with the city.
Carter says he wants to focus on heating and cooling.
At Operation ABLE in Midtown Detroit, students participate in a 12-week culinary arts program including hands on experience in a commercial kitchen.
Nefertiti Frazier, 35, said the program helped her transition from fast food to fine dining. The Detroit mother of four now works as a chef at the Hannan House Café in Midtown.
With the help of Operation ABLE's financial coach, Frazier is developing a plan for a catering business.

Greeks were the first ones to talk about Hyperborea, but there are proofs coming from other civilizations from ancient China and Russia. People from different points of the planet have registers from the same civilization that, theorically, was thousands kilometers far away from them. The answer behind this question is something that I will revealing slowly in 'Hyperborea Exist'.
Everyone agrees in the same, Hyperborea was a really ancient civilization, light years far away from the rest of humanity. Its inhabitants were very intelligent and they were strong people, having an iron health and living for more than 1 thousand years. Their island, known as the island of the forever sun, never saw the sun fade, thats one of the reasons of thinking that its localization was somewhere in the boreal side of Earth. They had a benevolent climate allways, protected from the the icy cold that was striking the rest of the world.
Something happened, in a moment of its history, Hyperborea was deleted from Earth. There are many theories, starting from the ones that says that had the same fate as Atlantis, the water ate the island, or a misterious tragedy, a forced exile. All of these theories are just that, theories, there's no clear proof or register about what could happen.
But there's a clear data, the fact that people from different points of the world have registers about the same misterious civilization. That something that makes you think, how is possible that different people from civilizations distant for thousand of kilometers have similar registers of the same 'myth'? Is that possible that there was a tragedy foreseen with time and that Hyperborean civilization choose to exile to different points of the planet? What could be behind that a growing civilization, the most advanced of humanity, flee its home place and decided to hide any proof of its existence? These are some of the main questions that wise people from all around the world have done since more than 3.000 years.
Another one of the main questions related to Hyperborea its its age, in all registers there are talks about a civilizacion far away of all record, older than any of the first sedentary civilizations born in the ancient Mesopotamy. We have to face the dilemma of the existence of a human group with an advanced society, able to build and craft advanced tools, ships and buildings while the rest of humanity was living in caves and using hides as clothes. Some investigators have some theories about a new breed of humans. As many scientits have talk about the coexistence of Homo Sapiens Sapiens with Homo Neanderthalis its possible that we have been missing a third "Homo Hyperborean". But again we return to the question, Why the most advanced human race dissappeared in front of one less advanced?
Sincerely, with my blog I want to be distant from these that says that Hyperborea myth is related with aliens, hollow earth of goblins and magic or the lately more common stories about nazi investigations during the first part of 20th century. If well it's true that some of these legends could have some similarity as the ones about Thule Society or another stories about the super man myth, my criteria is to work only with archaeological proofs that could show us exactly the existence of this civilization.
How to find archaeological proofs from a civilization that is supposed to no exist since thousands of years ago and that was deleted from Earth? Well, along this year I'll be digging about this question. But If we start from the main clue that people from different points of the world had some contact or register, being legends or wise man talks or texts, about Hyperborea we can think that was a civilization with a great capability to travel across the sea. They had to stablish sea routes and that could have led to possible shipwrecks.
Its in the deep ground of our oceans and seas where we can find the answers of the questions about this enigma. In the last years I have found many proofs in this regard in different submarine investigations that I have done both in Norway and Findland. But this is something really big that would need entire updates of my 'Hyperborea Exist'.
Hyperborea is a myth pursued by many people during our modern history, some fanatics for the search of the super human idea and the profit that they could take of the knowledge from this lost civilization. Others, like me, we only follow the seek of knowledge and exploration to share with the rest of humanity the history of maybe the first advanced civilization of our planet.
I encourage you to continue this trip with me and discover all my advances and discoveries in Hyperborea Exist.
What do you think? It's Hyperborea a myth? A legend? An historic reality which is still missing proofs?

Authorities Order 100,000 Evacuated in Raging California Wildfire
Southern California Edison turned off electricity to about 20,000 people but warned that thousands more could lose service as Santa Ana winds gained strength
Published at 1:30 am on October 11, 2019
An aggressive wildfire in Southern California seared its way through dry vegetation Friday and spread quickly, destroying more than a dozen homes as tens of thousands of residents were ordered to get out of its way, authorities said.
The blaze broke out Thursday evening in the San Fernando Valley and spread westward, burning its way into hilly subdivisions on the northern edge of Los Angeles as terrified residents grabbed what they could and ran. One man went into cardiac arrest and died, authorities said.
Those who left included Edwin Bernard, who said he never saw the flames arrive so quickly or come so close to his home as this time.
He watched as the fire swept down a hillside, sizzling through dry grass and igniting trees and bushes and spitting embers over his home of 30 years. He and his wife fled in their car, leaving behind medication, photo albums and their four cats.
"It was a whole curtain of fire," Bernard said Friday. "There was fire on all sides. We had to leave."
The region has been on high alert as notoriously powerful Santa Ana winds brought dry desert air to a desiccated landscape that only needed a spark to erupt.
The Los Angeles fire broke out hours after flaming garbage in a trash truck sparked another blaze when the driver dumped his load to keep the rig from catching fire. But the dry grass quickly ignited and powerful winds blew the flames into a mobile park in Calimesa, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles. About three-quarters of the 110 homes were wiped out and one resident died, fire officials said.
The two fires burned as power was restored to most of the nearly 2 million residents in the northern part of the state who lost electricity after Pacific Gas & Electric Co. switched it off Wednesday to prevent a repeat of the past two years when its equipment sparked deadly, destructive wildfires during windy weather.
PG&E also said that late Friday night that it had restored power to 97% of the stimated 738,000 homes and businesses it deliberately blacked out Wednesday, with only 21,000 still without electricity.
Officials had worried that gusts might topple trees on and blow other vegetation into transmission lines and start wildfires, but the move was widely criticized for targeting areas that faced no danger, and for disrupting so many lives.
Family initially blamed the outage for the death of an El Dorado County man dependent on oxygen, but the coroner later said he died from severe coronary disease.
The Los Angeles fire erupted in the neighborhood of Sylmar in a giant plume of red glowing smoke that expanded rapidly and could be seen for miles. It spread westward at a rate of 800 acres (324 hectares) an hour into Granada Hills and Porter Ranch, where subdivisions crowd against the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains. About 100,000 people in over 20,000 homes were ordered to evacuate, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said.
Its cause wasn't immediately known, though arson investigators said a witness reported seeing sparks or flames coming from a power line near where the fire is believed to have started, said Peter Sanders, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.
At least two people told LA TV stations that they saw fire near power lines around the time the blaze broke out.
Porter Ranch, an upper middle-class suburb that was the backdrop for the 1982 movie "E.T." is no stranger to evacuations. Four years ago, a blowout at a nearby underground natural gas well drove 8,000 families from their homes for more than 100 days. The community also sits next to Northridge, which was epicenter of a rattling earthquake 25 years ago.
By Friday, the fire had grown to more than 11 square miles (29 sq. kilometers) and at least 31 homes were damaged, Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas said. A middle-aged man who was near the fire went into cardiac arrest and died, the chief said, but he did not have details.
Flames roared through dense chaparral on steep hillsides and thick smoke blanketed parts of the valley. Some areas were sunny with blue skies and others were obscured in a gray haze. The air quality was so poor in some places that shoppers in Canoga Park wore breathing masks.
Schools and colleges closed for the day and Interstate 5, the main north-to-south corridor in the state, was shut down at the northern end of Los Angeles. Several sections of nearby freeways were also closed for much of the day.
More than 1,000 firefighters were deployed to corral the blaze. Helicopters, planes and jumbo jets swooped low over neighborhoods to drop water on flames and spread red retardant across ridges to give firefighters on the ground a chance to halt the fire's advance amid strong winds.
"As you can imagine the embers from the wind have been traveling a significant distance which causes another fire to start," Terrazas said.
"Oh my God, it's coming this way," his aunt said when Stahl called to alert them and she looked out the window, he said.
At the site of the other fire, in Calimesa, residents of the trailer park anxiously waited to see if their homes had survived the fast-moving blaze.
Seventy-four buildings were destroyed and 16 others were damaged. Several people were injured, Cal Fire spokeswoman Cathey Mattingly said.
One worried resident said he couldn't reach his 89-year-old mother after she called to tell him she was evacuating.
"She said she's getting her purse and she's getting out, and the line went dead," Don Turner said.
He said neighbors saw his mother, Lois Arvickson, in her garage as flames approached and later saw the garage on fire, but they didn't know if she'd managed to escape.
Melissa Brown said she moved to the mobile home complex earlier this year from Arizona, in part to help take care of her mother who has since died. Brown said she now also faces the loss of her home.
"The hardest part is my mom's remains are in there," she said Friday morning, choking back tears.

What does Is Hard or Soft Water Best For my cats or dogs? mean?
Foogod
"hard water" means water that has a lot of minerals in it, such as calcium, bicarbonate, etc. "soft water" is water that doesn't have many dissolved minerals. (household water often varies in hardness from region to region, depending on the source, etc) This question is asking which type of water is better for feeding to cats or dogs.

This question is asking which type of water is better for feeding to cats or dogs.
InsertANameHere
Hard water is water with high mineral content. It's typically what you find in nature. Soft water is water with a low mineral content. This is what there'd be after water is filtered or distilled.
@InsertANameHere FWIW, soft water is quite common in nature, too. It just depends on what sort of source the water comes from. Surface water (such as from streams or rivers) is often fairly soft. Water pulled from ground sources (wells, etc) is usually much harder.
@Foogod I'm sorry, you're right. I just wanted to give a short explanation fitting the context (someone with access to both hard and soft water to give to pets would likely have hard water from their source, which they could soften through various processes). It only accounted for what I was considering.
@Foogod Thank you very much. It was really easy to understand😊

Q: Why is document.getElementsByClassName constantly returning an undefined array? I'm trying to make a simple Chrome extension that activates YouTube Dark Mode by clicking a couple buttons.
alert("Clicker");

//document.getElementsByClassName("button.style-scope.ytd-topbar-menu-button-renderer")[0].click();
var buttons = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("button.style-scope.ytd-topbar-menu-button-renderer").innerHTML);

console.log(buttons[0]);
buttons[0].click();

I'm testing this on https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending. I have a manifest.json of:
{
    "manifest_version": 2,

    "name": "Youtube Dark Mode",
    "version": "1.0.0",

    "permissions": [
        "https://www.youtube.com/*",
        "tabs",
        "activeTab"
    ],

    "background": {
        "scripts": ["background.js"]
    },

    "browser_action": {
        "default_title": "Engage Youtube Dark Mode."
    },

    "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["https://www.youtube.com/*"],
      "js": ["content.js"]
    }]
}

And a background.js:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
    //alert("Boat");

    chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "clicker.js"});
});

I've read a lot of similar posts on here, but none of their suggestions have worked for me (probably because I don't know Javascript well). The problem is that either .click is not a property of buttons[0] or the buttons array is undefined.
This code is essentially trying to put $("button.ytd-topbar-menu-button-renderer").click(); into extension form, since I know that that jQuery works in the developer console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: Do not use . in className for document.getElementsByClassName
if you want to select with the selector "button.style-scope.ytd-topbar-menu-button-renderer" use document.querySelectorAll instead.


Four rising professionals recently completed a training program in oyster aquaculture at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, providing them with the skills needed to advance in this rapidly growing industry.
Led by Professor Stan Allen, Director of VIMS' Aquaculture Genetics & Breeding Technology Center (ABC), VIMS' Oyster Aquaculture Training (OAT) certificate program targets those pursuing managerial or technical careers in all aspects of oyster aquaculture, from hatchery operations to grow-out and processing.
The graduates of this year's program, which ran from April to September, are Imani Black, Haley Ladeau, Lizzy Profita, and Chris Rubino.
Ladeau says the skills she's learned from ABC staff have been invaluable. "They really show you and explain to you the techniques used in all aspects of aquaculture," she says. "Everything you learn in this program is important." Since graduating, Ladeau has stayed on with the ABC program as a field technician while interviewing for prospective positions.
Profita first caught the aquaculture bug as an undergraduate at the University of Hawaii at Manoa studying algae, oysters, and shrimp. After completing an assignment with AmeriCorps Cape Cod in Massachusetts assisting a town shellfish constable, she applied to the OAT program in hopes of taking the next step in her career. She says a program highlight was the opportunity for externships at local commercial aquaculture operations. "The tours we went on opened up the range of possible careers after the OAT program, not just a farm or hatchery job," says Profita.
Rubino was drawn to the OAT program after working at the University of Maryland's Horn Point Oyster Hatchery. "VIMS' ABC is the pinnacle of oyster genetics on the East Coast, maybe the world, and that wealth of knowledge brought me here," he says. Rubino's OAT experience included assisting VIMS master's student Joey Matt in his study of oyster genetics, and sampling oysters from commercial farms on the Eastern Shore. "I learned a great deal about lab techniques and research methods in my processing of hundreds of oysters for histology and near-infrared spectroscopy," says Rubino.
Both Allen and Chesler say they take pride in the benefits that OAT graduates offer to local industry. "We have three OAT alumni that are working for Cherrystone Aqua-Farms on the Eastern Shore, and two work at Ward Oyster Company that's just right up the road," says Chesler.
Expanding beyond the current OAT program, Allen has worked with educators at the MathScience Innovation Center in Richmond to create a high school version called the Student Pursuing Aquaculture Training (SPAT) program. After completing a two-week aquaculture course at the Center, four students are chosen to spend a week at VIMS for hands-on training. "Two students came for one week, two came the next week, and our OATs participated in training them," says Allen.
Allen's focus for the short term, though, is ensuring the OAT program's continued viability. "We're trying to make the OAT program sustainable, and that is where our future vision is located," he says.

Em aproximadamente , Senaqueribe, rei da Assíria, atacou as cidades fortificadas do Reino de Judá em uma campanha de subjugação. Senaqueribe sitiou Jerusalém, mas não conseguiu capturá-la - é a única cidade mencionada como sitiada na Estela de Senaqueribe, da qual a captura não é mencionada.

Antecedentes
Em , o exército assírio capturou a capital israelita em Samaria e levou os cidadãos do reino do norte de Israel ao cativeiro. A destruição virtual de Israel deixou o reino do sul, Judá, para se defender sozinho entre os reinos em guerra do Oriente Próximo. Após a queda do reino do norte, os reis de Judá tentaram estender sua influência e proteção aos habitantes que não haviam sido exilados. Eles também procuraram estender sua autoridade para o norte em áreas anteriormente controladas pelo reino israelense. A última parte dos reinados do rei Acaz e do rei Ezequias foram períodos de estabilidade durante os quais Judá foi capaz de se consolidar política e economicamente. Embora Judá fosse um vassalo da Assíria nessa época e pagasse um tributo anual ao poderoso império, era o estado mais importante entre a Assíria e o Egito.

Quando Ezequias se tornou rei de Judá, ele iniciou mudanças religiosas generalizadas, incluindo o rompimento de ídolos religiosos. Ele reconquistou as terras ocupadas pelos filisteus no deserto do Neguebe, formou alianças com Asquelom e o Egito e se posicionou contra a Assíria, recusando-se a pagar tributos. Em resposta, Senaqueribe atacou Judá, sitiando Jerusalém.

Cerco
Fontes de ambos os lados reivindicaram a vitória, os judeus (ou autores bíblicos) no Tanaque e Senaqueribe em seu prisma. Senaqueribe reivindicou o cerco e a captura de muitas cidades da Judeia, mas apenas o cerco - não a captura - de Jerusalém.

Conto hebraico

A história do cerco assírio é contada nos livros bíblicos de Isaías (), II Reis (meados do ) e Crônicas . Quando os assírios começaram sua invasão, o rei Ezequias começou os preparativos para proteger Jerusalém. Em um esforço para privar os assírios de água, fontes fora da cidade foram bloqueadas. Os trabalhadores então cavaram um túnel de 533 metros para a fonte de Giom, fornecendo água potável à cidade. Os preparativos adicionais para o cerco incluíram a fortificação das paredes existentes, a construção de torres e a construção de uma nova parede de reforço. Ezequias reuniu os cidadãos na praça e os encorajou, lembrando-lhes que os assírios possuíam apenas "um braço de carne", mas os judeus tinham a proteção de Javé.

De acordo com II Reis 18, enquanto Senaqueribe sitiava Laquis, ele recebeu uma mensagem de Ezequias oferecendo-se para pagar tributo em troca da retirada assíria. De acordo com a Bíblia Hebraica, Ezequias pagou 300 talentos de prata e 30 talentos de ouro para a Assíria - um preço tão alto que ele foi forçado a esvaziar o templo e o tesouro real de prata e retirar o ouro dos batentes das portas do templo de Salomão. No entanto, Senaqueribe marchou sobre Jerusalém com um grande exército. Quando a força assíria chegou, seu comandante de campo Rabsaqué trouxe uma mensagem de Senaqueribe. Na tentativa de desmoralizar os judeus, o comandante de campo anunciou ao povo nas muralhas da cidade que Ezequias os estava enganando e que Javé não poderia livrar Jerusalém do rei da Assíria. Ele listou os deuses de outros povos derrotados por Senaqueribe e perguntou: "Quem de todos os deuses desses países foi capaz de salvar sua terra de mim?"

Durante o cerco, Ezequias se vestiu de pano de saco (sinal de luto), mas o profeta Isaías garantiu-lhe que a cidade seria libertada e que Senaqueribe caíria. Durante a noite, um anjo matou 185.000 soldados assírios. Alguns estudiosos acreditam que esse número foi transcrito incorretamente, com um estudo sugerindo que o número era originalmente 5.180.

Conto assírio

O prisma de Senaqueribe, que detalha os eventos da campanha de Senaqueribe contra Judá, foi descoberto nas ruínas de Nínive em 1830 e agora está armazenado no Instituto Oriental em Chicago, Illinois. O relato data de cerca de  O texto do prisma mostra como Senaqueribe destruiu 46 das cidades de Judá e prendeu Ezequias em Jerusalém "como um pássaro enjaulado". O texto segue descrevendo como o "esplendor aterrorizante" do exército assírio causou aos árabes e mercenários reforçando a cidade para o deserto. Acrescenta que o rei assírio voltou para a Assíria, onde mais tarde recebeu um grande tributo de Judá. Essa descrição inevitavelmente varia um pouco da versão judaica do Tanaque. As massivas baixas assírias mencionadas no Tanaque não são mencionadas na versão assíria.

Depois de sitiar Jerusalém, Senaqueribe foi capaz de dar as cidades vizinhas aos governantes vassalos assírios em Ecrom, Gaza e Asdode. Seu exército ainda existia quando ele conduziu campanhas em  e de  até , quando fez várias campanhas nas montanhas a leste da Assíria, durante uma das quais recebeu tributo dos medos. Em  e , ele enviou expedições à Anatólia, onde vários vassalos se rebelaram após a morte de Sargão II. Por volta de , ele fez campanha nos desertos do norte da Arábia, conquistando Dumate al-Jandal, onde a rainha dos árabes se refugiara.

Outras teorias
Heródoto escreveu que o exército assírio foi invadido por ratos ao atacar o Egito. Alguns estudiosos da Bíblia levam isso a uma alusão de que o exército assírio sofreu os efeitos de uma doença transmitida por camundongos ou ratos, como a peste bubônica. Mesmo sem confiar nessa explicação, John Bright sugeriu que foi algum tipo de epidemia que salvou Jerusalém.

Em What If?, uma coleção de ensaios sobre história contrafactual, o historiador William H. McNeill especula que os relatos de mortes em massa entre o exército assírio no Tanaque podem ser explicados por um surto de cólera (ou outras doenças transmitidas pela água) devido às fontes além das muralhas da cidade foram bloqueadas, privando assim a força sitiante de um abastecimento de água seguro.

Henry T. Aubin escreve em O Resgate de Jerusalém: A Aliança entre Hebreus e Africanos em  que o exército assírio foi derrotado por um exército egípcio sob o comando cuxita (núbio).

Rescaldo
William H. McNeill de What If? especula que o retiro serviu para apoiar a então nova tradição monoteísta do judaísmo. McNeill raciocina que o cerco assírio de Jerusalém tem um significado histórico especial devido à novidade (na época) da tradição monoteísta no judaísmo. McNeill argumenta que a aparente derrota de Senaqueribe por YHWH apoiava a ideia do monoteísmo em uma época em que um povo conquistado geralmente adotava o deus ou deuses de seus conquistadores, já que os seus próprios não os protegiam. A extraordinária derrota de Senaqueribe que McNeill sugere, por doença que ainda não era compreendida, teria provado YHWH superior aos deuses da nação mais poderosa então conhecida pelos judeus, a Assíria. McNeill conclui que se Senaqueribe tivesse tomado a cidade, os judeus poderiam ter adotado o politeísmo e, consequentemente, as religiões abraâmicas não existiriam.

Na cultura popular
Um poema de 1813 de Lord Byron, A Destruição de Senaqueribe, comemora a campanha de Senaqueribe na Judeia do ponto de vista hebraico. Escrito em um tetrâmetro anapéstico, o poema era popular nas recitações escolares.

Home Everything else Adopt a dog for you, not based on breed
Adopt a dog for you, not based on breed
DNA tests show that over two-thirds of the breed labels on dogs in shelters or on pet rescue websites are wrong.
Julie Levy, a professor of shelter medicine at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, who ran those tests, offers some very good reasons to look beyond breed labels when adopting a dog:
1. Breed labels are probably wrong
Levy and her colleagues asked almost 6,000 experts—vets, shelter staff, breeders, trainers, and more—to name shelter dogs' breeds, and they didn't exactly agree. Their guesses added up to an average of 53 different breeds for each dog! Only 15 percent of the dogs' breeds were correctly identified more than 70 percent of the time, so take that label with a grain of salt.
2. Breeds won't tell you much about the dog
"All dogs are individuals," Levy says. But wait—don't I need to know how big this dog will get, or how much exercise it needs? Yes, but you can't always get that from a breed label, even an accurate one. Just like human families, "siblings have very different personalities even though they have the exact same parents," she says. With mixed breeds, "it's not like mixing paint where you have a predictable outcome. Each parent carries a lot of genes—many of them invisible—that can have an influence on behavior and experience."
3. Bad information can hurt
Basing an adoption decision on a breed label can cause problems for dogs and people, Levy says. Levy found that shelter dogs with no pit bull-type breeds in their DNA were labeled as pit bulls up to 48 percent of the time. With some housing complexes, insurance policies, and even cities banning pit bulls, the incorrect label could be a death sentence.
Levy also points out that even decades after being enacted, pit bull bans have not been effective in reducing dog bites or the severity of dog bite injuries.
Labels can also lead adopters to pass up on a dog that's a better match for their lifestyle in favor of one whose breed label appeals to them.
"Where people and shelters overreach is trying to assume what a dog is going to behave like and what its personality will be like based on what it looks like," she says.
So how do I choose a dog?
You'll want to gauge how the dog will fit into your lifestyle by talking to the staff about its grooming needs, size, energy level, and personality. "Ask about the things that are important to you. Is it good with kids but not cats? Does it love to chase a ball?" A dog that has been fostered will likely have more information available, Levy says.
Some shelters and rescue groups allow potential adopters to borrow a dog for a weekend, a day or an outing to get to know it better, which can give more insight on how a pet will fit into an adopter's family. "A dog will act differently in a home than in shelter," Levy says.
Another pro tip: Try to limit your preconceptions. "People go to a shelter with specific vision in mind, but their perfect pet might be considerably different than that. Be open to surprises."
