Three million new homes in Britain by 2020, says the Prime Minister. Those large, fat, round numbers are so authoritative, so, well, goddam big, aren't they. And, after all, Gordon Brown is a dab hand with figures, so he must know what he's on about, surely. One problem: there is no "housing shortage", at least of the kind set out with mind-numbing frequency by the government over the past few years. But there really is a feverish craving in Whitehall to believe that a cataclysmic shortage does exist. And it's a contagious delusion, despite the fact that homes for millions already exist.
One study of the vast amount of unused or empty property around Britain by housing consultant Ann Petherick, based on several towns in the north-east, has clear findings. Her work - focusing solely on vacant accommodation above commercial premises - indicates that unused flats above shops and offices could, if "freed up", provide housing for at least half a million people. The actual figure is likely to be far higher. So who owns this wasted living space? Around 80 per cent is in the hands of absentee landlords, whose only concern is to generate income from the letting of ground floors. Even the ongoing property boom has failed to open up these spaces for residential use.
The case of a village in Hampshire points to what could be an even greater scandal.
Allbrook, population around 2,000, is not a rich place, nor is it poor, pretty or ugly. It is, however, the scene of a particularly representative battle between developers and conservationists. At one end of the village is a boarded-up ancient farmhouse that was, in the 1600s, the home and studio of Mary Beale, Britain's first fully professional woman artist. The developer that owns the land and house is seeking to build a mini housing estate on its remaining unspoilt meadowland, up to the very fringe of the old building.
An unlikely alliance of nature conservationists, local people, feminist historians and art experts is far from pleased. Yet, the developer is able to argue that he is merely providing much-needed new housing, while the local council, Eastleigh, is itself already under pressure from Whitehall to pave the way for hundreds of new homes in the borough.
It's a familiar pattern, but one set to multiply a thousandfold if Brown's vision of three million homes by 2020 is to become bricks and mortar. But take a walk around Allbrook and you'll notice about half a dozen empty houses, some vacant, apparently, for a very long time. Indeed, the number of empty houses in the village is virtually the same as the number of new houses being proposed next to the historic farmhouse. You don't need to be Gordon Brown to do the maths: one ordinary village, half a dozen empty houses; 20,000 villages in Britain. That's 120,000 unused homes - and this is without factoring in unused housing in towns and cities.
Soon after the Prime Minister's new cabinet was announced, the Home Builders Federation greeted with euphoria the news that Brown had appointed Yvette Cooper as minister for housing - "a welcome step forward in the drive to deliver much-needed new homes", the HBF trumpeted. The minister might set aside some time, between friendly meetings with the nation's house-building companies, to peer out of her ministerial car window. Perhaps she will then notice that a large proportion of houses and flats, potential homes for literally millions of people, are empty. Then again, perhaps she won't.


The local councils of at least two towns in Idlib province, that are located in the de-militarised zone established by Turkey and Russia but have come under Syrian regime shelling, have declared their jurisdictions to be distressed areas.
Although these towns were supposed to be within the area covered by the ceasefire declared late last year, they have suffered heavy shelling at the hands of the Syrian regime and allied militias, activist Haisam al-Idlibi told Diyaruna.
Most residents have fled, he said, and the towns are largely deserted.
Since late December, a number of towns and villages in southern rural Idlib have been subjected to daily shelling from the Syrian regime and its allies, in violation of the September ceasefire agreement, al-Idlibi said.
"The area is being bombarded with highly explosive surface-to-surface missiles that cause extensive damage, as well as seemingly endless barrages from multiple-rocket launchers," he said.
Most residents of the area, which includes the villages of al-Teh, Jarjanaz, al-Tamanah and Sukayk, have fled the shelling for safer parts of Idlib province.
The local councils of two towns, al-Teh and Jarjanaz, have declared them to be distressed areas, he said, pointing out that both are now devoid of residents as a result of the regime shelling.
Al-Idlibi estimated that 75,000 civilians have fled the area.
This number includes 25,000 civilians who fled the town of al-Teh alone, he said, 20,000 from Jarjanaz, and a large number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had come to the area from other areas that are still under regime control.
"The shelling cut off the power and water supply, prevented food supplies from reaching the area, and led to the closure of schools and social, administrative and medical services institutions," al-Idlibi said.
Dozens of civilians have been killed or wounded in the shelling, he added.
Most rockets that hit the area are launched from the Tal Marq position, 15 kilometres away in south-east Idlib, he said, adding that the area also is shelled from regime positions in the town of Abu Dali in eastern rural Hama province.
Syrian regime shelling in the designated buffer zone has caused extensive damage and set off a new wave of displacement, an activist says.
In less than a month, 5,000 families have been displaced from rural Idlib and Hama provinces, with many unable to secure accommodation.

Q: $\frac{1}{n} \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is bounded I am working in the standard metric on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and am considering the subset $\{\frac{1}{n}: n=1,2,3,\dots\}$ (how Rudin writes it). I want to show this is bounded. It is clear to me it is bounded, but want to get practice writing it mathematically.
Since I am in a subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ I have rewritten this as $E = \frac{1}{n} \times \{0\}$
To show it is bounded I need to show there is a real number $M > 0$ and some $q \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$ such that $d(p,q) < M$ for all $p \in E$.
Attempt:
Suppose $q = (x,y)$ then
\begin{align} d((q, (\frac{1}{n},0)) & = |(x - \frac{1}{n}) + (y - 0)| \\
\leq & |x - \frac{1}{n}| + |y - 0| \\
\leq & |x - \frac{1}{n}| + |y| \\
\end{align}
Therefore $d(q,(\frac{1}{n},0)) \geq |x - \frac{1}{n}| \leq x$ for n sufficiently large. So I can take $M = x$?
thinking about this more, I don't think this is correct since this has to hold for all points in $E$ and I'm constraining it to n being large?
After comments:
Thanks for all the help, I have managed to solve it. As most of the discussion happened in the comments I will accept the answer that is not in the comments.

A: Why not let x = 1 and y =0, which is q = (1, 0)?  Then if M =1, your answer simplifies quite a bit.
Then it becomes much simpler to accept, likely without elaboration or justification that
$$| 1 - \frac1n | < 1$$
Suppose $q = (1,0)$ then
\begin{align} d((q, (\frac{1}{n},0)) & = |(1 - \frac{1}{n}) + (0 - 0)| \\
= & |1 - \frac{1}{n}|  \leq 1\\
\end{align}
Also, note in your current proposed solution, a restriction x > 1, would be essential to eliminate x=-1 becoming a contradiction at
$$| x - \frac1n | < x $$

Q: Clone Android Studio project from Gitlab local server I have a Gitlab repository path like http://192.168.1.10/xyz/myproject. I'm going to clone the project into android studio but it does not ask for username and password and shows authentication error.  First time it asked for username and password. How I can solve this?

A: Check your git config credential.helper.
Depending on your OS, you might have invalid credentials already cached for http://192.168.1.10/, which would then result in failed git clone/push/pull commands.

Magistrate orders local employer to pay out over £10,000 following health and safety failings
This Council has successfully prosecuted a local golf club for failing to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its employees.
Having received a RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) report, Thanet District Council's Public Protection Team investigated an incident at the North Foreland Golf Club in which a man was injured at work and suffered burns from an explosion.
A decision was made to bring two sets of charges against Kingsgate Golf Club Limited. The first – under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – was for failing to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of employees. The second was under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, for failing to provide details of substances hazardous to health, to which an employee was liable to be exposed.
On Friday 23 November 2018, in a trial at Margate Magistrates' Court, Kingsgate Golf Club Ltd pleaded guilty to both charges. They were ordered to pay a total of of £10,873.21. This includes a fine of £3,300, £7,373.21 costs and a £170 victim surcharge.
Cllr. Lesley Ann Game, Cabinet Member for Housing and Safer Neighbourhoods commented: "All employers have a duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and need to take reasonable steps to do so. No one should have to be exposed to unnecessary danger at work. While prosecution is not something we undertake lightly, in a case as serious as this one, it was deemed necessary. This case highlights the importance of ensuring the health and safety of employees at all times and the very serious consequences of non compliance."
Thanet District Council's Public Protection Team receives approximately 100 RIDDOR reports each year, as well as investigating about 30 health and safety complaints annually. The officers that form the Public Protection Team are dedicated to ensuring public health and safety in Thanet including food safety and hygiene, and occupational health and safety.

Running on empty:
voter fatigue in Nova Scotia
Parts of the province facing three elections in next 18 months.
by Michael Lightstone
If you're a political junkie living in any of the three electoral districts in Nova Scotia that will see a trio of elections between now and the autumn of 2016, you're going to get your fix in a big way.
Should you not be looking forward to sales pitches from political candidates, or casting ballots in this year's federal election, a to-be-announced provincial by-election and next year's municipal vote—be patient.
It'll all be over about 18 months from now.
Could voter fatigue, if there is such a thing, possibly play a role here? Jim Bickerton, a political scientist at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, says the jury's still out on the concept.
Voter fatigue "doesn't really exist in the political science literature," he says in an email. But that doesn't mean there isn't something going on, especially regarding declining voter turnouts.
Some voters "feel that politics–in other words, the democratic process–should intrude on people's lives as little as possible. Their primary identity is seen to be 'consumer' and 'taxpayer,'" Bickerton says.
"The idea of democratic citizenship has shrunk," he says. Election time can be viewed "as an imposition or intrusion on people's private lives, generating this idea of a burden being imposed or 'fatigue' with the whole tiresome process."
Eligible voters in constituencies in Cape Breton and metro will be going to the polls in by-elections necessitated by three vacancies at Province House. They'll join their counterparts in the rest of the country when the next federal election occurs, likely in October. They can also vote in the municipal government elections scheduled for mid-October 2016.
By-elections are needed due to two recent resignations from the New Democrats' caucus and the death of a Liberal MLA.
Frank Corbett, NDP MLA for Cape Breton Centre, stepped down weeks ago to spend more time with his family. Gordie Gosse, NDP member for Sydney-Whitney Pier, resigned for health reasons at the same time. Allan Rowe, who represented Dartmouth South for the Liberals, passed away in March. Premier Stephen McNeil hasn't announced a voting date or dates for the needed by-elections.
According to Elections Nova Scotia, there are 48,380 voters eligible to cast ballots during the three by-elections.
How much time will electors and candidates have to prepare for the by-elections? It might be months, or it could be a few weeks. In 2010, then-premier Darrell Dexter announced a by-election date that gave all concerned in the electoral districts of Yarmouth and Glace Bay a month to get ready.
"The premier has six months to call a by-election once a vacancy occurs, and six months to hold it once it has been called," says Dana Doiron, Elections Nova Scotia's spokesperson. The most recent by-election was in 2011, in Cape Breton North (now part of Northside-Westmount). That vote cost taxpayers $173,650. Doiron says Elections Nova Scotia starts preparing for a by-election "immediately on notification of a vacancy." He said a returning officer will begin recruiting election workers, "and prepares to train them, soon after the [by-election] is called."
In Ottawa, Elections Canada personnel are gearing up for voting day on October 19. But they also must be ready in case prime minister Stephen Harper, for whatever reason, wants to go to the people earlier. The dishing out of pre-election goodies, in the form of Tory government largesse, has already started.
On the municipal front, there's still plenty of time for prospective candidates to put their game faces on. For instance, in the Halifax region, Mike Savage officially entered the mayoral race about eight months before he won the 2012 election.

As I'm sure you know by now, I'm fairly candid. So, fair warning.
I feel gross because I have cramps and I'm tired and just a little moody. I have all three of these because I'm on my period.
Mother's Little Helper is a strange tea color wise when it brews, and beautiful BEFORE you even steep it. Seriously though, it's so pretty. It basically always tastes the same, but some steeps it's more brown, others it's more pink, and other's it's more yellow. Each scoop is a little different percentage of hibiscus wise, and it's really the hibiscus that gives it it's bright pink color.
This tea is also VERY versatile. Too hot out of a hot mug of tea? No problem. Make in concentrate, add cold water and store in a jug in the fridge. It's just as delicious and refreshing and relaxing and sedating as when it's hot!
Did I forget to mention the fact this tea is basically a sedative? It has valerian root in it. Valerian is a natural sedative. For some people, it basically knocks them out after they drink it, for others like myself, we just get relaxed enough to sleep, but it keeps us asleep throughout the entire night.
I start with 5-6 tbsp of loose leaf and steep it with 4 cups boiling water, or near boiling. This tea steeps well at basically any temperature. And then I steep it for 10 minutes, sometimes more. Then I add about 3 cups cold water and put it all in a jug in the fridge. Perfect for summer! Then, I just had a cup or two before bed.
I start with two heaping scoops of tea using David's Perfect Spoon, then steep it until the pot is finished being drank, or for at least 5 minutes. I use boiling or near boiling water. Honestly both the 'black' and 'herbal' setting on my kettle work perfectly with this tea.
Honestly, this tea is just all around yummy. It and Creme Brulee are what started my tea addiction, so it will always have a special spot in my soul. It's fresh and sweet. Minty and just a little bit fruity. It's just so good and good for you that I literally recommend this tea to EVERYONE. I've gone through over 200g of this tea (basically by myself) since I first started buying it.
Buy it. Drink it. Sleep.
LONG AND RAMBLING POST IS FINALLY DONE.
PS. I premade little bags of this so I could just throw it in a pot before bed and not have to worry about any clean up. That's what's shown in the first picture.

Cutting down on plastic doesn't require being an ecogenius
CRAIG and Marc Kielburger
Craig and Marc Kielburger founded Free The Children, Me to We and We Day. Find out more at we.org. Their biweekly Brain Storm column taps experts and readers for solutions to social issues.
Boyan Slat was diving off the coast of Greece when he discovered that the discarded plastic bags bobbing around him in the Aegean Sea outnumbered the fish he'd come to see. The dismayed Dutch 16-year-old resolved to clean it up. All of it.
This spring, Slat, now 21, will launch a 100-metre-long, V-shaped floating barrier in the North Sea. He designed it with a team of scientists to capture and funnel bobbing pieces of plastic toward a machine that extracts and holds the litter for recycling on shore. Slat's end goal as chief executive officer of the non-profit enterprise, the Ocean Cleanup, is to install vast networks of these barriers to remove all plastic from the planet's sea waters.
Given that upwards of 10 million tonnes of plastic is discarded into the oceans every year, that's some epic invention.
Meanwhile, twentysomething Andrew Almack has launched an inventive social enterprise in Toronto that will tackle the problems of plastic and poverty at the same time. Plastics for Change is building a fair-trade network of waste pickers in impoverished regions, such as rural India, to sell the plastic they collect for a living wage. Almack plans to make sure that material is recycled and sold to ecoconscious manufacturing companies around the world.
"Developing regions simply don't have the tax revenue for supporting waste management – these communities struggle to provide access to water. We need to focus on creating markets for the waste and ultimately creating dignified employment to reduce plastic pollution," Almack says.
You don't have to be a young ecogenius to play a role in cutting down the plastics that clog our waterways and landfills. Of course, recycling is a smart start – but only 10 per cent of Canada's annual three million tonnes of plastic waste is actually reused, according to a 2012 study by the University of Waterloo.
Ecoconsequences aside, there are good health reasons to avoid plastic products.
Years after bisphenol A (BPA) was banned from baby bottles, it lingers in countless household products and our bodies, according to research by Statistics Canada. Last year, Statscan released the largest study to date on BPA and it shows low levels of BPA are linked with behavioural problems in boys and girls. Another 2015 study (this one from the University of Calgary) shows that materials replacing BPA in many plastics may have similar negative effects on our well-being.
There is a growing roster of alternatives beyond the cloth grocery bag. Our friend's kitchen, for instance, is a cacophony of clatter with all the metal kids' cups, plates and even drinking straws that replaced oil-based counterparts.
But that doesn't address a problem pointed out by reader Kat Summerbell: Most foods and goods are overpackaged.
Governments, she says, should "place heavy sanctions on companies that package with plastics and [give] tax credits to companies that make their products with little or environmentally sustainable packaging."
Have Your Say: How can we each reduce the plastic in our lives?
Have Your Say: How do we create a generation of grateful kids?
Have Your Say: What if this Leap Day were a national holiday for good deeds?

She reached the train station in Biarritz accompanied by her family: her husband, Francisco de Asís, and her children, Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, and the Princesses Pilar (1861-1878), Paz (1862-1946), and Eulalia (1864-1958), as well as Carlos Marfori, her confessor, Father Claret, and Sor Patrocinio. Emperor Napoleon III welcomed the royal party directly at the station. The family first took up residence at Pau Palace, close to the Spanish border, before deciding to move on to Paris. In March 1869, the Queen bought the Basilewsky Palace (which was immediately renamed Castilla). For his part, Francisco de Asís experienced this exile like a liberation from court life and from his marriage; he settled independently in Épinay-sur-Seine, in the outskirts of the French capital.

The Queen's eldest daughter Isabel, known widely as la Chata – affectionately referring to her cute snub nose – was not in Spain during the revolution. She had married Count Cayetano de Borbón-Dos Sicilias of Girgenti in spring 1868 and happened to be in Paris on her honeymoon. When he heard about the revolution, the Count of Girgenti left for Madrid to take command of his regiment of hussars, eventually fighting at the battle of Alcolea.
Princess Isabel, born in 1851, held the title of Princess of Asturias until the birth of her brother Alfonso, since, traditionally, it was the male heir to the throne, upon whom the title of Prince of Asturias was conferred. Any daughters, even if they were first-born, were simply addressed as "Infantas" (princesses). The title "Princess of Asturias" could only be granted by the King. Article 201 of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 states: The first-born son of the King will be called the Prince of Asturias. This designation would be confirmed again in the 1869 Constitution (Article 79): When the King dies, the new King will swear to observe and enforce the Constitution and the laws in the same way and on the same terms that the court declared the first King should follow the Constitution. The Prince of Asturias will swear the same oath when he turns eighteen years old.

The later Spanish constitutions of the 19th century do not explicitly mention the "Prince of Asturias" but refer to the "successor", "first-born", or "heir". However, on 30 May 1850, under the reign of Isabel II, a Royal Decree appeared in the Gaceta. Its single paragraph stated: the immediate successors to the Crown, according to the Constitution of the Monarchy, without distinguishing between males or females, will continue to be called the Prince of Asturias, with all the honors and prerogatives that come with such a high position. This Royal Decree made Isabel de Borbón y Borbón the Princess of Asturias from her birth in 1851 until her brother Alfonso was born six years later. Isabel was re-titled the Princess of Spain, but upon her family's restoration to the Spanish throne she would once again become Princess of Asturias – until the birth of Maria de las Mercedes, King Alfonso's first-born daughter.
Although the Royal Decree of 1850 allowed women to be Princesses of Asturias, there is no doubt that all Spaniards wished for a male heir to be born. On 29 November 1857 the newspapers reported that at a quarter to eleven at night twenty-five cannons and tolling of bells announced to this capital that the queen had given birth to a prince. The next day the Gaceta de Madrid officially announced the birth. The prince was baptized on 7 December; his godparents were his sister Isabel and Pope Pío IX, who was represented by the nuncio monsignor Berili. Alfonso would receive his first communion from that same Pope years later, on 8 March 1870, at Saint Peter's Basilica.
Alfonso XII
The birth of Alfonso XII filled the royal family with happiness. It is important to remember that in the 19th century Spain went through three civil wars, the so-called "Carlistas Wars" that were originally caused by dynastic motives. The birth of a male heir granted the Spanish throne safety from the immediate danger caused by Carlista pretenders. Without a doubt, the child Alfonso was a great hope for Spaniards, but no one knew yet how short and intense the life of this recently-born Prince of Asturias would be.
The Prince spent his first years in the Royal Palace in Madrid, in a very tense political atmosphere amid schemes plotted by people as loyal as his own father or his uncle, the Duke of Montpensier. Despite this atmosphere of continual intrigue, the prince was carefully educated to prepare him for his future as king of Spain. The Marques of Alcañices was appointed head of the court the Prince of Asturias. In 1865, when Alfonso turned seven, the Marques was succeeded by the Archbishop of Burgos, Fernando de la Puente y Primo de Rivera (1808-1867). The boy prince was frequently ill, so physical exercise was a very important part of his education. Francisco de Aguilera, Count of Villalobos, was personally responsible for Prince Alfonso's physical exercise and a formal regimen started in 1863. In these early years we already find William Morphy at Alfonso's side as one of the prince's chamberlains. Morphy accompanied the Prince to the Theresianum grammar school in Vienna and remained his personal secretary until his death.
From the very beginning, Prince Alfonso accompanied his parents on a series of royal visits that took the family all over Spain. The visits had a clear propagandistic intention. Alfonso often wore the regional costumes of the places he visited, much the same as his sister, Isabel, who was one year older. On a trip to Asturias, the Prince was introduced to the Virgin of Covadonga, and it was there that he was given the name Pelayo: A symbolic name that referred to the initiator of the Reconquista, the historical process during which the Christians conquered the territory under Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula between 722 and 1492. These visits sought to strengthen the image of the Spanish monarchy, and there is no doubt that the tender image of the prince and princess dressed in the traditional regional costumes contributed significantly to popularise the royal family.
When the royal family was forced into exile in 1868, Alfonso was eleven years old. The exile enabled the young prince to experience other European countries, see different systems of government, and learn new languages; Alfonso spoke French fluently, also German and a bit of English. When he arrived in Paris, the Prince's education had to continue, and the Stanislas School in the 6th arrondissement was selected for him. He took up his studies in this private catholic institute in February 1869. In addition to his classes at Stanislas the Prince had private lessons in international politics with the Count of Benalúa, nephew of the Duke of Sesto. While in exile the young prince continued his education, the "Alfonsian circle" began to develop in Spain. The majority of Spaniards, who supported the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, were aware that Isabel II could not return to Spain to rule as queen; instead, her son Alfonso was supposed to be King.
On 25 June 1870, Isabel II decided to abdicate. Thus, the twelve-year old Alfonso became the bearer of all historical rights of the House of Bourbon in Spain. From the very beginning of her exile, many advisors had suggested that the Queen abdicate in favour of her son, but Isabel wanted to avoid a regency for her under-age son at all cost. In June 1870 she eventually yielded to pressure from Napoleon III, to whom she had promised in 1869 that she would abdicate at an opportune moment. This moment had arrived when, after the Constitutional Courts declared that Spain would remain a monarchy, Leopoldo de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was presented as a candidate for the Spanish throne. This candidacy not only provoked the Queen's abdication; it also made the consequences of the 1868 revolution visible on an international scale. The Franco-Prussian war erupted in July of 1870 over the question of the Spanish succession.
The Abdication of Isabel II (La Ilustración Española y Americana, 13 July 1870).
During the war, in October 1870, the Spanish royal family had to move from Paris to Geneva. From May 1870, Thomas O'Ryan (1821-1902) was responsible for directing the prince's education; the prince studied Latin, Greek, French, Geography, History and Mathematics with Professor Víctor Duret; he also attended a physical education class and continued his exercise regimen. In autumn 1871, O'Ryan looked for an adequate school for the exiled heir to the Spanish crown. Finally, the Theresianum in Vienna was chosen, and he matriculated there at the beginning of 1872. Alfonso was accompanied to Austria by O'Ryan, who was soon replaced by William Morphy, who assumed responsibility for the prince's education. Morphy, along with the Duke of Sesto, José Osorio y Silva-Bazán, son of the Marquis of Alcañices, and the assistance of the valet Ceferino Rodríguez, would remain with the prince until the end of his life.
Meanwhile in Spain, various people were entrusted with the task of laying down the foundations for the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy: the Count of Cheste, Eusebio Calonge, Francisco Lersundi, Montpensier himself after the Treaty of Cannes, and lastly Cánovas del Castillo, who was overall in charge of the process that would lead to the restoration of the Bourbon under Alfonso XII in 1873.
Alfonso XII and the Duke of Sesto.
The great change in public opinion in favor of the prince started with the Alfonsian Liberal Circle. The Alfonsians were even able to gain control of a few newspapers, such as La Época, El Tiempo, La Política, or El Eco de Galicia. Cánovas del Castillo's goal was to present the Spaniards with a more mature image of the young prince, suggesting that he was capable of becoming the King of Spain. For this reason Cánovas recommended that Alfonso matriculate at the Military Academy of Sandhurst, where he could acquire a good military education. From the beginning, Cánovas hoped to create the image of a "king-soldier," which he believed to be an absolute necessity for the King of Spain – because of the many revolts of the 19th century.
Accompanied by Colonel Juan de Velasco Alfonso arrived at Sandhurst on 5 October 1874. On 28 November Alfonso received many well-wishes for his birthday. In order to make the most of the opportunity, Cánovas del Castillo sent a thank-you card to all well-wishers. This letter ended up becoming known as the famous "Sandhurst Manifesto". The manifesto contained a pithy statement: "I will neither stop being a good Spaniard, nor, like all of my ancestors, a good Catholic, nor, as a man of this century truly liberal." In his book Cánovas, Benito Pérez Galdós captured this apparent contradiction of being both Catholic and liberal in a dialogue at the end of the book's first chapter: Liberal and Catholic? But the Pope has said that Liberalism is sin! Unless Prince Alfonso has discovered the secret of inserting the soul of Pío IX into the body of Espartero…
The Manifesto was published in Spain on 26 December 1874. The pronunciamiento of General Martínez Campos took place three days later. This military revolt precipitated the return of Alfonso XII to Spain. Having stayed in Paris with his family for Christmas, the new king entered Spain via the city of Barcelona on 9 January 1875. When he arrived in Madrid five days later he was received with huge enthusiasm. At that moment, a new life began for the man that was now King Alfonso XII, who would be known as "The Pacifier."

Sedgwick County approves expansion of zoo
2013-09-14 - Wichita, United States.
The Sedgwick County Zoo will get about $31 million from the county over the next five years, giving zoo supporters a boost in efforts to expand the elephant exhibit. The zoo has two elephants and needs at least one more to meet new requirements for accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Sedgwick County Zoo needs to make room for one more elephant
Stephanie and Cinda have been two peas in a pod for 40 years, but the Sedgwick County Zoo needs to make room for a new friend for them. If it can't, it risks losing the popular elephants. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is requiring that all zoos it accredits have space for at least three elephants by September 2016.
Wichita elephant exhibit may expand
Sedgwick County is looking into building a new elephant exhibit and breeding facility. The zoo already has two South African bush elephants — Stephanie and Cinda. Their exhibit measures 19,000 square feet. But that would expand under a plan the zoo's board of directors will vote on in July. The plan calls for 4.75 acres of public viewing space that could hold up to six African elephant cows with calves and two bulls.
Zoo concerned elephants could fall in moat
2010-02-11 - Wichita, Kansas, United States. Beccy Tanner
The exhibit for the elephants at the Sedgwick County Zoo is about to get a new look — and some visitors may not like it. It's a safety issue for the aging elephants, the zoo says. Work began this week to replace the moat in the exhibit with an 8-foot-tall post and cable fence. Stephanie and Cinda, the two South African bush elephants, are close to 40 years old. Zoo officials are concerned that the elephants, who like to stretch their trunks out for treats and grass on the other side, could los...
Circus elephants escape, are recaptured
Two elephants that broke loose from a traveling circus are back in custody in Kansas. The elephants were apparently spooked by severe weather that moved across the state today and got out of their enclosures. They wandered into the town of WaKeeney. One ended up in a resident's backyard less than a mile from the Trego County Fairgrounds. It was blocked off by fire trucks until its trainers could coax it onto a truck. The second elephant was tranquilized in another resident's backyard, coaxed int...
Zoo unveils big plans for the future
The Sedgwick County Zoo has unveiled its plans for the future, which should mean new animals and a lot of changes at the popular attraction. If the zoo has its way, there could be a multi-million dollar walk-through elephant exhibit, a new events center that could seat 2,000 people and an aquatic complex.

This year brought a unique pairing to the Irish Squash National Championships with both finalists in the Men's A section being from Carlow. Brian Byrne and Arthur Gaskin, childhood friends grew up playing the Junior Squash circuit and are now both playing on the professional circuit.
A huge crowd filled the show court of Fitzwilliam LTC this weekend for one of the most eagerly awaited finals in recent years and Arthur Gaskin confirmed his dominance of the Irish Senior Squash scene with an emphatic 3/0 win over Brian Byrne. Gaskin was in tremendous form, his years of experience on the pro circuit were very evident.
In the first two games Arthur played just 3 balls down, he was patient and continually looked to move Brian around the court, Brian had played an 2 hour epic semi-final match the previous night and was feeling the effects and as the match wore on this became more evident. Arthur took the first 11-6 and followed this up with an 11-4 win the second.. As Brian's error count began to rise so did Gaskins, however Arthur went on to take the 3rd and final game 11-8.
This was Arthur's 7th Irish National Final and his 4th win and it was well deserved. Credit must go to both players who played a tremendous sporting game full it was full of courage, commitment, skill and no doubt we will see these two fine players battle out many more finals like this.
In the Ladies A Ciara Moloney had a tough semi- final playing Hannah Craig from Belfast No 3 seed, this was a tight match throughout which Hannah eventully won. In her final match Ciara played Sophie O'Rourke with a loss of 0/3, finishing in 4th place. Claire O'Neill finished 6th and considering her long absence away from the courts she can be pleased with her overall finish. Another of the great battlers Niamh Brennan had a terrific game with Dubliner Niamh Maher and Brennan was 2/0 but lost 3/2.
Willie Hosey is used to winning senior titles and he has 10 to his name, this year at the last minute he decided to play the over 40's and reached the final where David Ayerst from Belfast denied Hosey another title. Hosey took the first but found the matches from Friday and Saturday took their toll and he lost 3/1.
Sam Olwill gave us a glimpse of his wonderful talent with a terrific display in the Mens section with a 14th place finish losing out to Conor O'Shea.
Carlow squash players really made a huge impact on this years Senior Nationals, it was the first year that they all could come together for the event and they really left their mark on the championships. All playing squash from a young age these players found the love and passion for the game and hopefully they will have many more years playing and enjoying their chosen sport.
The next event will be the 20th Carlow Junior Squash event (March 13/14th) and this year there will be a 'Renunion' event running concurrently with the CJO. Any player who previously played is invited to take part in the 'Renunion' and it's sure to be great fun.

Judicial Intervention
There are two important caveats to nonjudicially supervised termination of life-support decisions. The first, and more critical, is that the patient must be a competent adult at the time the decision is made. The second is that the patient must clearly state his or her intentions, and these must be properly documented. Unless required by state law, this documentation need not be a witnessed living will. It can be a properly recorded conversation with the physician or the written request by a patient-appointed surrogate. The termination of life-support for minors, long-term medically incompetent patients, and patients who have not made their wishes known while competent are more complex and generally require the intervention of a judicially appointed guardian.
The most compelling cases for judicial intervention are those in which a patient who refuses curative therapy has dependent family members. These are almost exclusively persons with religious objections to some or all medical care. This may be because refusing curative treatment without a religious rationale results in the patient's being treated as an incompetent. While courts have ordered treatment in some cases, the most recent case law, in the decision of Fosmire v. Nicoleau,[74] affirmed the right of a pregnant woman to refuse blood transfusions despite the risk to her fetus:
In sum, the patient as a competent adult, had a right to determine the course of her own treatment, which included the right to decline blood transfusions, and there is no showing that the State had a superior interest, in preventing her from exercising that right under the circumstances of this case.[75]
Cases such as Fosmire are ethically the most difficult to resolve. The case is brought on behalf of family members, usually minor children, who depend on the patient. If the necessary treatment is forced on the patient, the patient will recover and the issue will be resolved. The appellate judges in Fosmire had the luxury of upholding the patient's autonomy without having blood on their own hands: the trial court's order to give blood had been carried out immediately. The appeal sought only to second-guess its validity.
Physicians in a case like Fosmire would properly question whether it would be ethical, although legal, to stand by and not seek a court order to force treatment. Societal interest in the well-being of the dependents would also favor intervention. The trial court's ordering of the treatment might offend some people, but it would not shock the conscience of members of the general public. It is cases such as this that fuel ethical debates, yet these cases have little to do with termination of life-support issues.
Termination of life-support cases, in general, do not involve the refusal of curative therapy. If a competent adult refuses curative life support for religious reasons, these cases should be treated separately from the termination of noncurative life support. It is legally permissible to comply with such requests without legal process. It is ethically questionable, however, to accept a refusal of curative therapy without using judicial process at least to verify the sincerity of the request. In extreme situations, the patient's request is tantamount to a request for assistance in committing suicide.[76]

Climate Change? This Week Warmer In Alaska Than San Diego
As parts of Alaska obliterated high-temperature records earlier this week, meteorologists and climate scientists warned that extreme heat and rainfall are the new normal in the nation's largest state and other Arctic and subarctic zones.
On Sunday, the town of Kodiak in southern Alaska hit 67°F—seven degrees warmer than the daytime high in San Diego—and shattering the December record for Alaska by nine degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The town also broke the local December record by more than 20 degrees.
"I would not have thought such a thing possible," Rick Thoman, a climate specialist at the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, tweeted Tuesday.
CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said that "we've become somewhat numb to these 'never before seen' extremes in temperature and weather as climate change continues to push the envelope on what is possible all over the globe."
"In and around the Arctic this is especially true, where temperatures have been rising around twice as fast as the rest of the planet," he added.

Warmer air is wetter air, as higher temperatures mean the atmosphere can store more water vapor. Miller said this explains why more intense rainstorms and flooding are increasing along with global temperatures.
"Each degree Fahrenheit of warming can hold about 4% more water vapor," he said, "and much of Alaska was 40 degrees Fahrenheit or more above average temperatures for late December."
Parts of Alaska have suffered record rainfall this month. CNN reports Fairbanks has been inundated with 4.75″ of liquid-equivalent precipitation for the month—more than 10 times the historical average.
A study published last month in Nature Communications noted that "as the Arctic continues to warm faster than the rest of the planet, evidence mounts that the region is experiencing unprecedented environmental change," with "the hydrological cycle… projected to intensify throughout the 21st century [and] increased evaporation from expanding open water areas and more precipitation."
The paper projected that Arctic winters will experience more rain than snow beginning sometime in the 2060s.
Tropical warmth and moisture all the way to Alaska.

Extreme temperatures aren't just occurring during the Alaskan winters. In July 2019, Anchorage recorded an all-time high of 90°F. In July 2021, the record-breaking heatwave during which Lytton, British Columbia set a Canadian record of 121°F triggered a 2.7-magnitude cryoseism, or "ice quake," near Juneau, Alaska's capital, as 92-degree heat melted glacier ice that subsequently saturated into the soil and then rapidly refroze.
Wildfires—which accelerate global heating by releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere—are also increasing along with Alaska's rising temperatures.
Scientists also warn that thawing Arctic permafrost in the northern parts of the state constitutes a "geological time bomb" set to release potentially devastating quantities of methane—a super-potent greenhouse gas whose emissions are roughly 87 times more potent than carbon dioxide emissions over a 20-year period—into the atmosphere.

WHO: All invited to come and preview this new movie!
It's been a year since the world fell apart. When it fell, it went fast. Everything's falling apart out there. Preparing for it's one thing, but living in it?
Confusion has got a grip on the town. Why are we still here? How do you fight something you can't see? Prayer.
The world turned their back on God a long time ago. Is it not possible God said, "Enough." Your Bible can't help you now, can it?
We should have been raptured! If we close our eyes to what's going on on the outside, we're going to wake up and the enemy is going to be right here inside of our gate. The enemy is not afraid to kill. It's nothing compared to the battle that is to come.
Is he dead? We fight against spiritual wickedness in high places. Our only weapon is prayer.
Call out on your God Almighty, but he is mine.
This thing has no authority over you. Fight it!
The believers are our greatest prize.

                <button class="tab-button" type="submit">Next</button>

A: simple steps
1) First find the currently active tab
2) From the current tab to find next tab and trigger it with click event
3) And if the current tab is last tab hide the next button

$(document).ready(function(){

$(".nav-tabs li a[data-toggle=tab]").on("click",function(e){

      e.preventDefault();

      if($(this).parent('li').is(':last-child'))
      {
        $('.tab-button').hide();
      }
      else
      {
        $('.tab-button').show();
      }

        $('.nav-tabs li:eq(1) a').tab('show');

        $("[class='btn btn-large btn-block btn-success disabled']").removeClass("btn btn-large btn-block btn-success disabled");
        $(this).addClass("btn btn-large btn-block btn-success disabled");

});

$('.tab-button').click(function(){

ss = $("[class='btn btn-large btn-block btn-success disabled']").parent('li').next().find('a').trigger('click');

});
});

Argentum Launches New Campaign for Additional Federal Support
Argentum officially kicked off its latest awareness campaign directed at policymakers in the Biden Administration and in Congress. The theme of this campaign is "Don't Leave Assisted Living Behind, Again," (see press release) underscoring the continued disparities in relief and support that has been made available to senior living, and the need to rectify it moving forward, including with the Phase 4 PRF payments.
With the success of the recent "Save the PRF" and "Release the PRF" campaigns, Argentum has launched this latest campaign with a letter to President Biden outlining our requests to ensure assisted living is not left behind again:
Target financial relief through Phase 4 of the PRF and a longer-term sustainability fund.
Make investments in long-term care and the workforce, such as those proposed in Argentum's SENIOR Act.
Direct resources, such as testing and vaccine/booster administration, to senior living facilities.
The campaign is more than simply a letter to President Biden. It is an all-encompassing effort that demands the participation of all of us in the senior living industry to take part. Please take a moment to review the revamped website, standingwithseniors.com, and share it with your colleagues. Please also share our grassroots letter-writing campaign, linked on the Standing With Seniors website, which offers a pre-written message that can be instantly sent to the White House and Congress.
Additionally, to raise as much awareness as possible, Argentum has also launched targeted billboard advertisements in a handful of states to get the attention of several key lawmakers. These states include: Arizona, Delaware, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. These billboards are now up, including one located in Scranton, Pa., ahead of President Biden's trip later today. Argentum is also asking providers in every state to put up similar banners and yard signs in their communities, which read:
Heroes work here
Trillions in COVID Relief, but not for seniors in assisted living and memory care
Don't leave us behind again
Argentum is calling on all of you to take part in this effort. This message is only conveyed to policymakers by making our voices heard, and that falls on each of us to not only take part individually, but to share this as broadly as possible. To help you in this effort and to encourage communities to take part, Argentum has drafted a sample letter that you may consider using to communicate this campaign to community executive directors. In addition, please reach out to Paul Williams (pwilliams@argentum.org) on Argentum's staff with a contact from your company and urge your support by displaying these signs and banners at all or as many of your communities as possible.
