Q: While loop misses the first try in R I want to print reversed binary number of x, but its first digit wouldn't come out.
For example, If I put
dbf(35)

results should be
110001

but it comes out as
10001

I think something must be wrong with the while loop, but cannot figure  out exactly what.
dbf<-function(x){
  vec<-1:5
  while(x%/%2!=0){
    if(is.integer(x)==F){
      x<-x%/%2
    } else {
      x<-x/2
    }
    vec<-append(vec, x%%2)
  }

  vec<-vec[-(1:5)]

  cat(vec)
}

A: The function in the question is complicating too much.
dbf <- function(x){
  vec <- x %% 2
  while(x %/% 2 != 0){
    x <- x %/% 2
    vec <- append(vec, x %% 2)
  }
  vec
}

dbf(35)
#> [1] 1 1 0 0 0 1

sapply(2:6, dbf)

Inside Modernism
Deauville Hotel, MiMo example, North Beach
If you look at postcards of South Beach Miami, you may be forgiven for thinking that you were in some sort of Deco Disneyland, all dazzling neon and day-glo palm trees. But once you are away from Ocean Drive, the main drag, you will find streets behind, like Collins and Washington Avenues, that are part of a real town where local people live, eat and work. We are all familiar with how South Beach (or SoBe) has become a sub-tropical playground for middle America and Spring Break students all looking for a good time, but if you, like me, make regular visits to the place, you will see some serious conservation going on. America has woken up to its rich architectural heritage in recent years. Many of the decaying 30s buildings including The Tides and The Victor have been carefully restored, although sometimes too much judging the over-elegant boutique hotels, many of which go a little too far down the minimalist route by toning down the ice cream colours, thus taking away the quirky nature of the period detailing in the process.
Tropics hotel, SoBe Art Deco If Tropical Deco is your main interest, then Henry Hohauser and Albert Anis are the main architects for this and you have a couple of days on foot, ahead of you, best done in the early morning and late afternoon, to avoid the heat of the day. Essentially all of the sights worth seeing are between 5th and 20th Streets going north, and 4 or 5 blocks, in from the beach. For a good start, head for the Essex House hotel (Henry Hohauser 1938) on Collins and 10th Street and fan out from there, most of the foyers are open and airy and just off the street, so you can easily breeze in and have a drink. The Wolfsonian Institute (Robertson and Patterson 1927) a former storage facility that now houses a collection of 20th century decorative arts, is well worth a visit.
Mimo Appartment Block North Beach The pedestrianised Lincoln Road that runs between 16th and 17th Streets is full of ritzy alfresco restaurants and up market shops. The master plan for this, with zigzag sun canopies and floodlit pools was dreamed up by the architect Morris Lapidus in the early 60s who was quoted as saying 'A car never bought anything'. If this part of Miami Beach becomes too busy and commercialised, and you want to explore more architectural treats, move up the coast beyond 20th Street and way up to the 40s and 50s, you enter into the post war period, when America was really starting to show off its wealth, power and style as encapsulated by architects such as Lapidus, Roy France and Melvin Grossman. For enthusiasts of Midcentury Modern, MiMo or Miami Modern as it is called, there is a treasure trove of gems from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Take it in walk size chunks with a cocktail or coffee break in between to avoid becoming overwhelmed by the sheer number of hotels, restaurants, banks and condos built in this flamboyant space age funky style. A riot of stucco, concrete fins, pylon forms, baroque curves, Polynesian motifs, Egyptian caryatids and perforated screens.
Sputnik motif, lobby on 17th st SoBe The Deco of SoBe seems almost conservative after visiting the Fontainebleau, Eden Roc, Casablanca and Deauville hotels which lean towards the exuberant styles of Latin America for influence and, some say, were the precursors of the Post Modernism movement. Morris Lapidus, the most celebrated architect of this style, was not taken seriously by his peers of the time, publishing such books as 'The Architecture of Joy' and 'Too Much is Never Enough' Naturally these destinations caught on with the rich, famous and infamous, and became film locations, casinos and cabaret supper clubs.
Fountainebleau hotel by Morris Lapidus Other notable areas with good examples of this futuristic style are more low key neighbourhoods like Normandy Isles and Biscayne Boulevard where there are good corporate examples including the Bacardi building (Enrique Gutierrez 19630 and the IBM building (Herbert H Johnson 1965). Since that period, there has been a dumbing down of the International Style and more recently a spate of oversized and over-designed apartment blocks to cater for the influx of new residents. For the more adventurous traveller, you could hire a car and head north on Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. If you want a total experience, a couple of hours on, towards Tampa, you'll find a whole university campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 50s at Lakeland which is little known, Aztec inspired and beautifully intact.
Frank Lloyd Wright's college campus in Lakeland Fl. Don't expect too much architecturally from the rest of Florida, but even in the most unlikely places you'll find a restaurant, motel, bank, petrol station or even an insurance company that looks like it has been beamed down from another planet. There is more than enough to see in and around Miami, and with the combination of sea and sunshine, midcentury modernism never looked better. Head for Miami with the C20 Society

Last month witnessed two catastrophic Data Center disasters, presumably both designed to the highest standards of availability.
The first was at RBS Data Center in Edinburgh. There was hint of a fatal human error caused by an inexperienced person while performing minor upgrade to one security software. Do we see the irony here?
The second was at Amazon's North Virginia Data Center. This was due to a power outage caused by last month's severe storms on US East Coast. I guess this would have been condoned had it not been for the fact that this was Amazon's second serious disruption last month followed by two in 2011.
Unfortunately, there's another waiting to happen sometime, somewhere.
Most data centers catering to financial, telecom, retail, cloud and online services are ostensibly designed to provide 99.99% uptime, which basically means no greater than 52 minutes of total downtime in a year. With three hours of downtime per disruption in June 2012, Amazon already clocked six hours of downtime this year! Per reports, RBS operations were disrupted for three days. This brings me to the point how do we ensure the kind of high availability that's demanded for a 24×7 operation.
Typically, data centers designed for Uptime Institute's Tier III & Tier IV standards are equipped with multiple layers of hardware redundancies, from servers right down to sources of power. However, there are glaring gaps in operating procedures to predict systems failures or prevent fatal human errors. There is also a shocking absence of chain of custody even where there's a signed SLA.
Visually defining the entire chain of all asset relationships: application to back-up power, helping to identify missing or weakest links and the redundancy paths.
Simulating a MAC operation and thereby analyzing impact on power and space capacity of a data center due to an impending change.
Providing alerts when critical thresholds are breached.
GFS Crane DC helps to predict failures, enhancing business continuity beyond just hardware redundancies.

ACTION: Waiver of certain regulations. AGENCY: This document accompanies the final rule establishing a Court of Indian Offenses (also known as a CFR Court) for the Wind River Indian Reservation published today and waives the application of certain regulations for the Court of Indian Offenses serving the Wind River Indian Reservation. DATES: This waiver is applicable on December 28, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Appel, Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs & Collaborative sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:07 Dec 27, 2017 Jkt 244001 Action—Indian Affairs, (202) 273–4680; elizabeth.appel@bia.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Generally, Courts of Indian Offenses operate in those areas of Indian country where Tribes retain jurisdiction over Indians exclusive of State jurisdiction, but where Tribal courts have not been established to fully exercise that jurisdiction. The Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe have an equal joint interest in the Wind River Indian Reservation. However, since October of 2016, the former Shoshone & Arapaho Tribal Court has operated only with the support of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is taking the next step to provide all residents on the Wind River Indian Reservation with comprehensive judicial services, and ensure the permanent administration of justice and public safety. Therefore, the Secretary has determined, in his discretion under 5 U.S.C. 301, 25 U.S.C. 2 and 9, that it is necessary to waive 25 CFR 11.104(a), (b) and 11.201(a), (e), and (f), as well as a portion of 25 CFR 11.108, as applied to the Wind River Indian Reservation. This waiver will ensure that a BIA Court of Indian Offenses can effectively operate and serve all of the residents of the Wind River Indian Reservation. The Secretary has determined that, for the Wind River Reservation, it is necessary to waive 25 CFR 11.201(a), (e), and (f)—requirements that a magistrate must be confirmed by a tribal governing body, or, in the case of multitribal courts, confirmation by a majority of the tribal governing bodies; and requirements regarding training or other qualifications for CFR Court Magistrates—to ensure that the Bureau has the ability to hire and staff the Court with qualified employees efficiently. Additionally, 25 CFR 11.104, which provides that the regulations in part 11 continue to apply until either: (1) The BIA and the tribe enter into a contract or compact for the tribe to provide judicial services; or (2) [t]he tribe has put into effect a law-and-order code that establishes a court system, is waived in part as applied to the Wind River Indian Reservation. Due to the shared nature of the Wind River Indian Reservation, the practical consequences of separate courts with overlapping jurisdiction will be further confusion about the authority of each court and exponentially increase the difficulty of maintaining law and order on the Reservation. While the Tribes are free to operate judicial systems independently, the Department will not acknowledge or enforce acts of those judicial systems PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 entered after the publication of this waiver, with the exception that the Department will acknowledge any emergency restraining or protective issued by the Northern Arapaho Court within ten (10) days of the publication of this waiver, until such time as both tribes jointly petition under 25 CFR 11.104. Finally, 25 CFR 11.108 is waived to the extent necessary for the Court of Indian Offenses for the Wind River Indian Reservation to enforce Titles II, III, V, VII, VIII, IX, Title XI Chapters 3 and 4, Title XII Chapter 2, Titles XIV, and XVI of the Shoshone and Arapaho Law and Order Code as it existed on October 1, 2016. To the extent that the Shoshone and Arapaho Law and Order Code, as written, requires an action of the Joint Business Committee as a predicate for a criminal offense or the regulation of an action, e.g. the determination of the hunting season, that authority is hereby vested in the BIA Superintendent of the Wind River Agency.

Background OFAC issued the Iraq Stabilization and Insurgency Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 576 (the ''Regulations''), on September 13, 2010 (see 75 FR 55463), as a final rule to implement E.O. 13303 (68 FR 31931, May 28, 2003) (E.O. 13303), E.O. 13315 (68 FR 52315, September 3, 2003), E.O. 13350 (69 FR 46055, July 30, 2004), E.O. 13364 (69 FR 70177, December 2, 2004) (E.O. 13364), and E.O. 13438 (72 FR 39719, July 19, 2007). OFAC has amended the Regulations on several occasions. Today, OFAC is making amendments to the Regulations to implement E.O. 13668 (79 FR 31019, May 29, 2014) (E.O. 13668). In support of the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in Iraq, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq, E.O. 13303, as amended by E.O. 13364, prohibited and deemed null and void, with certain limited exceptions, any attachment, judgment, decree, lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process with respect to: (i) The Development Fund for Iraq; (ii) all Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products, and interests therein, but only until title passes to the initial purchaser, and proceeds, obligations, or any financial instruments of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the sale or marketing thereof, and interests therein, in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest, that are in the United States, that thereafter came within the United States, or that were or thereafter came within the possession or control of United States persons; and (iii) any accounts, assets, investments, or any other property of any kind owned by, belonging to, or held by the Central Bank of Iraq, or held, maintained, or otherwise controlled by any financial VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:07 Dec 27, 2017 Jkt 244001 institution of any kind in the name of, on behalf of, or otherwise for the Central Bank of Iraq. E.O. 13668 terminated the protections granted under amended E.O. 13303 in response to the changed circumstances in Iraq, including the Government of Iraq's progress in resolving and managing the risk associated with outstanding debts and claims arising from actions of the previous regime. Today, OFAC is amending the Regulations to implement E.O. 13668 by removing the regulatory provisions that implemented the protections granted under amended E.O. 13303. These amendments also make certain technical and conforming changes. Public Participation Because the amendment of the Regulations involves a foreign affairs function, the provisions of E.O. 12866 and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, as well as the provisions of E.O. 13771, are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) does not apply.

Electronic Availability
This document and additional information concerning OFAC are
available from OFAC's website (www.treasury.gov/ofac).
OFAC issued the Iraq Stabilization and Insurgency Sanctions
Regulations, 31 CFR part 576 (the ``Regulations''), on September 13,
2010 (see 75 FR 55463), as a final rule to implement E.O. 13303 (68 FR
31931, May 28, 2003) (E.O. 13303), E.O. 13315 (68 FR 52315, September
3, 2003), E.O. 13350 (69 FR 46055, July 30, 2004), E.O. 13364 (69 FR
70177, December 2, 2004) (E.O. 13364), and E.O. 13438 (72 FR 39719,
July 19, 2007). OFAC has amended the Regulations on several occasions.
Today, OFAC is making amendments to the Regulations to implement E.O.
13668 (79 FR 31019, May 29, 2014) (E.O. 13668).
In support of the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration
and maintenance of peace and security in Iraq, and the development of
political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq, E.O.
13303, as amended by E.O. 13364, prohibited and deemed null and void,
with certain limited exceptions, any attachment, judgment, decree,
lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process with respect
to: (i) The Development Fund for Iraq; (ii) all Iraqi petroleum and
petroleum products, and interests therein, but only until title passes
to the initial purchaser, and proceeds, obligations, or any financial
instruments of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the
sale or marketing thereof, and interests therein, in which any foreign
country or a national thereof has any interest, that are in the United
States, that thereafter came within the United States, or that were or
thereafter came within the possession or control of United States
persons; and (iii) any accounts, assets, investments, or any other
property of any kind owned by, belonging to, or held by the Central
Bank of Iraq, or held, maintained, or otherwise controlled by any
financial institution of any kind in the name of, on behalf of, or
otherwise for the Central Bank of Iraq.
E.O. 13668 terminated the protections granted under amended E.O.
13303 in response to the changed circumstances in Iraq, including the
Government of Iraq's progress in resolving and managing the risk
associated with outstanding debts and claims arising from actions of
the previous regime. Today, OFAC is amending the Regulations to
implement E.O. 13668 by removing the regulatory provisions that
implemented the protections granted under amended E.O. 13303. These
amendments also make certain technical and conforming changes.
Because the amendment of the Regulations involves a foreign affairs
function, the provisions of E.O. 12866 and the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity
for public participation, and delay in effective date, as well as the
provisions of E.O. 13771, are inapplicable. Because no notice of
proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) does not apply.
The collections of information related to the Regulations are
contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the ``Reporting, Procedures, and
Penalties Regulations''). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those collections of information have been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number
1505-0164. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a valid control number.
Administrative practice and procedure, Banks, banking, Foreign
trade, Iraq, Petroleum, Sanctions.
For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control amends 31 CFR part 576 as

Teaching Marxist Subversion at UNC
Oct 30, 2008 Jay Schalin 0 Comments
(Editor's Note: This is the second and final installment of a series on Social Justice in Education by the Pope Center's Jay Schalin. The first article untangled some of the key works by social justice theorists to expose its Marxist origin and subversive intent. This article describes how social justice theory is making major inroads into UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Education and the implications of this trend.)
"Social justice," in its broadest definition, is the extension of the principles of "justice" into every aspect of human existence. Depending on its implementation, such an idea could possibly have merit. But in all of its various American implementations and offshoots in America today, it is nothing more than a justification for Marxist and radical-left designs.
When it is applied to American education, social justice pedagogy (the method of teaching social justice) has come to mean a way of thinking and teaching intended to undermine both authority and objective reasoning and bring about an underclass-inspired political upheaval. The movement's philosophical foundations are derived from the writings of the Brazilian Marxist educator Paolo Freire. Its American version was influenced greatly by Columbia University education professor Maxine Greene. The pedagogy's best known popularizer is William Ayers, Greene's protégé and former member of the violent 1960s Weatherman radical group, who is now a University of Illinois professor and an associate of presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Like Ayers himself, social justice in education is no longer relegated to fringe status. A brief look at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Education indicates that social justice pedagogy is, or might soon become, the dominant philosophy among the faculty.
Social justice pedagogy is most clearly revealed in UNC-CH's graduate school curriculum, because original sources are used, in contrast to the undergraduate education courses, which use generalized textbooks. However, given the widespread adherence to the philosophy by faculty members, social justice principles are certain to be embedded throughout the undergraduate curriculum as well.
One place where social justice's presence is most apparent is in the educational leadership program, one of four areas of concentration in the graduate School of Education. The program's mission statement reads:
"Leadership for equity, social justice and academic excellence is the mission of the educational leadership program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While we believe that school leaders must be proficient in a wide variety of technical skills and tasks to be successful educational administrators, we are first and foremost concerned with the agenda of constructing democratic learning communities which are positioned in the larger society to support an agenda of social action which removes all forms of injustice."
There is nothing subtle about this statement: it states that the most important thing in the program is to create "learning communities" that are strategically positioned to support the social justice agenda. This agenda includes changing the way candidates for advanced degrees think. Kathleen Brown, the director of the education school's leadership program, wrote in a 2004 article about "transformative learning," which she regards as one of the "theoretical underpinnings" of social justice pedagogy: "Transformative learning changes the way people see themselves and their world."
She also wrote that "[b]y exposing candidates to information and ideas they may resist and by assisting them to stretch beyond their comfort zones, a critique and transformation of hegemonic structures and ideologies can occur."
How can this be anything other than political indoctrination? Students are force-fed ideas that they might initially "resist"; then authority figures guide them to criticize their old "ideology" until they adopt a new one (that conforms to politically correct standards). This has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with helping students become more adept at teaching or administering a school.
In the same 2004 article, Brown openly urges professors to embed such ideological manipulation into every class, writing that "professors need to retool their teaching and courses to address issues of power and privilege—to weave social justice into the fabric of educational leadership curriculum, pedagogy, programs and policies."
If Brown were simply an isolated crank professor, her designs could possibly be overlooked. But she is in charge of the entire leadership area. A significant part of the training that high-level K-12 administrators and future education school professors receive at UNC-Chapel Hill is in leadership.
And it is just not Brown's leadership area that has been corrupted by a Marxist philosophy. One course recommended to students seeking a master's degree with an emphasis in the Culture, Curriculum and Change area of concentration is EDUC 678: Cultural Studies and Education, taught by James Trier. Trier spends much of the course using popular films to illustrate the major ideas of communist theorists, including Antonio Gramsci, Theodor Adorno, Georg Lukacs and Max Horkheimer.
The inclusion of these particular communists is very significant—it was they who, in the 1920s, initiated the movement to weaken the capitalist countries of the West from within via gradual cultural change, rather than trying to incite a revolution of the workers more directly. Writer Linda Kimball provides a clear and concise description of their subversive activities in a 2007 American Thinker article. Specifically:
Gramsci and Lukacs both "concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order."
Gramsci felt that western workers were so corrupted by Christianity that it was necessary to de-Christianize them with a "long march through the culture" (Gramsci's phrase).
Lukacz, Adorno, and Horkheimer were the major founding members of the Frankfurt School, "a Marxist think tank" whose "primary goal was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms."
Adorno introduced the concept of the "authoritarian personality" into the Marxist lexicon. This idea states that "Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and culture is both racist and fascist."
Professor Trier also assigns works by and about other leading Western communists such as Guy Debord, Stuart Hall and the contemporary darling of the anti-capitalist left, Naomi Klein (whom Trier considers "brilliant").
But it is not just into the more subjective areas like "leadership" and "culture" that social justice principles are intruding. The movement has even gained traction into a discipline presumed to be purely objective: science education. Here is an excerpt from the official UNC-Chapel Hill School of Education biography of Eileen Parsons, an assistant professor of science education:
"Her research and scholarship diverge from and call into question the universalistic view of science. This perspective of science includes beliefs that the validity of a scientific account is objective and resides in the physical world itself; factors like power, culture, race, gender, and ethnicity of the participants involved in and learners of science are irrelevant."
This is not knowledge, but the negation of knowledge. Professor Parsons is teaching that the "validity" of science—the study of the physical world—is not primarily dependent on the physical world! (It would be hard to find a more perfect example of an oxymoron.) She suggests the validity of science instead depends on whoever is doing the studying! In other words, a scientist's race, gender, etc, are the key determinants of scientific truth—a scientific principle, such as gravity, can mean different things for different people. This kind of reasoning not just wrong—it is at best extreme silliness, but might instead be madness.
The above are just a few of the more glaring examples of how the concept of "social justice" has permeated the Chapel Hill education school culture. It would likely take many months of research by a gifted PhD. in education to root out all of the egregious examples of this trend in the curriculum. However, the names and phrases of the social justice movement are omnipresent on the syllabi of many UNC professors: Freire, Gramschi, Dewey, "white privilege," "racism," "equity," "class" "the banking model of education," "racial identity," "hegemony," "critical theory," and most of all "social justice." The same names and phrases appear on faculty biographies. Not every professor appears to have enlisted in the social justice movement—but many have, enough to exert a powerful influence on the present and future of North Carolina's educational system.
And there is no reason to suspect that things are better at any other UNC education school—some are likely to be even worse. Nor is there any reason to suspect that private colleges and other state systems have managed to avoid this intellectual plague—again, many schools are assuredly worse.
These things are really happening. Social justice pedagogy (also called critical pedagogy) is indeed a means to subvert and indoctrinate. It is rapidly spreading throughout the educational establishment. Chapel Hill-trained professors are highly sought after to teach at other colleges, both in the UNC system and throughout the country. UNC schools of education do have tremendous influence on North Carolina—a large majority of the state's public school teachers are trained at a UNC university, and UNC graduate schools produce a majority of its principals and superintendents as well. Teachers do indeed influence the next generation. The best that can be hoped for when educators are teaching nonsense is that the students don't pay attention to their teachers—not a positive state of affairs.
There is no question about the direction that the proponents of "social justice" in higher education are leading us—they openly and proudly write it down for all to see, in their scholarly articles, in their course syllabi, and in their official university biographies. We also know what Marxism produces: tyranny, poverty, waste, and corruption.
And yet the entire state establishment refuses to see the naked emperors in our education schools—the leadership of those schools, the individual university administrators, the university system's general administration, the system's Board of Governors, the media, the legislature and the governor all utter not a peep of condemnation. Have we truly become a people who will not defend our own culture or our government from those who will destroy us? Unless somebody in authority grows a backbone quickly, we are doomed as a nation.

While withdrawing money at my local CIBC on Homer street I noticed that the bank was selling stuffed moose as a fundraiser for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. My gift of choice for Canadian children living overseas has traditionally been a stuffed toy moose. In fact, now that I have children of my own I have decided that a stuffed moose is the "must have" item for every Canadian child. I know this is contrary to the cliches they tried to bust in the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. What can I say? I love the moose! They are so beautiful – so elegant. With this thought in mind it was an easy decision to buy two moose as gifts. Even before the transaction was finished I decided they should be called Molly and Ming.
Seriously, though, at $15 each it was an easy way to support an important foundation. If your own children were not born at Women's and Children's Hospital or do not go there for visits, it is likely that a child close to you does. The work that the BC Children's Hospital does is critical not only for Vancouver but for the province. My own children visit the hospital for specialist appointments and I am very thankful for the work that they do. So it was with a skip in my step that I brought my moose home. A win-win situation all round.
If you fancy a moose for your own child or a child you know, head on over to a CIBC branch before they are all gone. You do not have to be a client to make a purchase.


In the year 1255 A.D., the body of a little boy named Hugh was found discarded in a well in England. The boy had been tortured and eventually crucified, possibly as a sacrifice by his kidnapper. Little Hugh was given the status of sainthood by the Catholic church.
Sad as his story is, the death on the cross of Little Saint Hugh did not redeem you from the Father's wrath.
During the Third Servile War, somewhere around 72 B.C., about 120,000 slaves revolted against the Republic of Rome. Many died in the war, but about 6,000 of the survivors were taken prisoner and put to death on crosses, along a road leading to Rome to warn others of the consequence of such actions against the government.
Not one or even all of those 6,000 deaths on crosses saved you from the penalty of your sins.
In 33 A.D., a Man who was broken and bruised took painful steps up the hill at Golgatha. Onlookers yelled and spat; some cried. Following the climb, the man- who was not really a man once you take off His skin- was nailed onto a cross.
What Jesus did was amazing. It could never be replicated because there will never again be a man to walk the earth who has no sin.
The cross, however, did nothing but take its part in Jesus's killing.
People will continue to die on crosses. It is rare; but it can be found in some areas of the Middle East as a form of capital punishment (most often imposed for religious descentions).
Death on a cross does not propitiate you from the punishment you deserve for the sins you have committed. To say such a thing would be akin to thanking the oven for the dinner you just ate.
I have several pretty cross necklaces. I wear them as a demonstration to others of what I stand for. I love when people ask why I wear them. It's an opening to talk about my faith. But those necklaces are not as dear to me as what they represent.
The cross is a symbol, not a reminder. I don't need a reminder of a means of torture suffered by many in Roman times.
It wasn't the cross. It was the Sacrifice given at the cross that saved you. It was the God-Man that delivered you. It was His Love that redeemed you.

EMBER systematically analyses the emergent (macro-level) behaviour of any model of a complex system through the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques. The design of EMBER enables this investigation of a model without requiring knowledge of the underlying techniques through a simple user-friendly interface. By coupling innovative and advanced mathematics with well-established tools, EMBER can uncover properties such as path dependencies, and tipping points.
The tool interfaces with a model to uncover how, and why, the system exhibits certain behaviour. EMBER is a unique analysis tool that can provide insight which is unobtainable using standard tools. The development of a user interface allows the investigator to set up and run the analysis without requiring a background in programming. Furthermore, all the outputs from EMBER are tab delimited text files and can be visualised using the investigator's preferred software.
Each of the diagrams below shows the interface of the model in the top left, and the outputs uncovered by EMBER in the bottom right.
1. Fire spreading in a forest and how it is affected by the initial density of trees. As the density of trees rises, we see a non-linear increase proportion of trees burnt.
2. Lake management policies regarding residential pollution and the effect on fish and plant populations. This is a model of government legislation relating to levels of pollution by local residents and its effect in a nearby lake. Increasing pollution causes an increase in nutrients that promote algae growth and ultimately affect the population of fish and plant life in the ecosystem. EMBER can be used to compare different policy scenarios to evaluate how effective they are at reaching a desired goal (such as increased fish levels), but also what the associated costs are (such as financial, time, government popularity, etc). The results show the levels of Bream, Pike and Vegetation are dependent on the level of nutrients (and therefore pollutants) in the lake. Here we can see bistable states, multiple tipping points and path dependence, causing an abrupt transition from one regime to another as the pollution levels are varied.

While there is certainly a fair share of Chinese eateries around town, Canton Seafood aims to serve up something a little different. Take Golden Garlic Flounder ($17.99), for example.
According to assistant manager Helen He, this is something that you won't typically find elsewhere. Here's the deal: The meat from a whole flounder is fried and sprinkled with salt and pepper, and topped with aromatic crispy garlic.
He says Sea Bass Fillet with Cream Corn ($12.99) also is unique to Canton Seafood. The dish features deep-fried boneless sea bass steeped in a pool of creamed corn.
In addition to its oneof-a-kind cuisine, Canton Seafood has been making significant efforts to provide healthier options, such as Boneless Chicken with Cashew Nut ($11.99), served with mushroom, celery, snow pea and carrot.
One thing that Canton Seafood has become particularly well-known for is its Canton Crispy Chicken ($4.99 special for a half chicken). Another current special is Lobster. Regularly priced at $19.99, it's now available for $11.99 with the purchase of an entree. This seafood favorite can be prepared with ginger and green onion, black bean sauce, pepper and salt or butter garlic.
With the holidays coming up, Canton Seafood is the perfect place to host a party. The restaurant accepts reservations, and He says it's possible to rent out the entire space. Menu options start at $188.

2014-05-12 It turns out that if you're not identifying risk in the places you would never think to look, then your business is missing out on some of the hard lessons learned by the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011. The six months of biblical flooding in Thailand that followed during that same year would seem to make 2011 an annus miserabilis best forgotten—but instead, those events continue to inform more nuanced thinking around, and response to, disruptions that have followed in their wake, such as last year's massive flooding in the U.K. and Germany.

Throughout the year we have had a number of enquiries from clients whose employees are experiencing mental health challenges. With the media showing considerable interest in this area too, we thought it's time to have this conversation.
Life throws out curve balls to all of us at some time or other. When it's our employees who are facing problems, most are able to leave their problems at the door and get on with their job. But for others, sometimes it's just not that simple.
Mental health issues can be challenging to navigate for employers. Whilst the mental health challenges often don't arise out of the employment relationship, they can have a significant impact in the workplace. Key amongst these are attendance, performance and general attitude.
When an employee has a mental health issue such as depression or anxiety, it's unrealistic to think they can just "snap out of it" and suddenly become your star performer.
When there are issues in the workplace and the employee has disclosed that they have a mental health condition, a good employer will start addressing any concerns early on rather than letting them get to the point of no return. Being proactive is beneficial for the business – through reduced absences, improved productivity and a well-functioning workplace.
Taking a proactive and supportive approach right from the start means opening up dialogue with your employee. Other aspects might include a referral to EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) Services, developing an understanding of the triggers, focusing on what the employee can do, and working with the employee to develop a wellness plan or a return to work plan. All these measures are supportive rather than punitive.
Don't get me wrong, there might come a point in time when you can no longer continue to take the supportive approach and have to put the needs of the business first. This isn't a nice point to be at for either you or your employee and we really encourage you to get sound professional advice if you find yourself in this situation.
If you need some help with mental health issues in the workplace, give us a call. We'll guide you through the steps.
When did you last check your employees' information? The Social Club – Fun or Fraught?

Series: Global Commission on Internet Governance Paper Series
Until recently, policy makers and businesses did not adequately focus on the significant overlap between Internet and trade governance, but with a large and increasing presence of the Internet in global trade and investment, there is a growing interest in examining the synergy or conflict arising between these issues. There is a need to identify trade rules and practices that are sufficient to deal with emerging issues, and the new trade rules, modes of common understanding and cooperative mechanisms that would be required as the Internet becomes a larger part of the trade and investment domain.
An important part of this exercise is to examine the relevance and sufficiency of the regulatory provisions in the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements as well as the emerging major free trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This paper discusses these aspects as well as the new trade-related concerns that need to be addressed, including the difficulty of determining jurisdiction and rules of origin, the classification of products and relevant disciplines applicable to them, complications arising for competition policy and regulatory practices
Global Commission on Internet Governance Paper Series
The Global Commission on Internet Governance was established in January 2014 to articulate and advance a strategic vision for the future of Internet governance. The two-year project conducts and supports independent research on Internet-related dimensions of global public policy, culminating in an official commission report that will articulate concrete policy recommendations for the future of Internet governance.

Brandon, MB — On Sunday, more than 100 students from Brandon University (BU) and from Minot State University (MSU) literally met on the 49th parallel for the inaugural Battle on the Border — a dodgeball match. To forge a bond between the two universities as well as to inspire school spirit, the students from each school met at the International Peace Garden to play the best out of five games. With both mascots and Presidents cheering on their university, energy and daring were evident throughout the afternoon.

Porscheho smrt je jedním z největších pomníků v Jizerských horách.

Příběh
Vše podstatné z příběhu smrti Wenzela Porscheho je uvedeno v textu na pomníku:Hier an dieser Stelle wurde am 25. Juni 1874 Vormittags zwischen 10. und 11. Uhr Wenzel Porsche Gutsbesitzer aus Eichicht wohnhaft in Altharzdorf als er im Rinden- und Holzgeschäfte dieser Lichtung beging, von einem bisher unbekannten Raubmörder aus einer Entfernung von etwa 30-40 Schritten meuchlings durch den Hals geschossen und seiner Uhr und Barschaft beraubt. Er verschied ohne Todeskampf in 31. Lebensjahre und hinterließ 5 unversorgte Kinder und eine trauernde Gattin, welche mit dem 6-ten Kinde in der Hoffnung ging. Am 29. Juni wurde auf dem Altharzdorfer Kirchhof Begraben.

Das bessere Jenseits sei dein Lohn für dein treues und biederes Erdenleben.

Dieses Denkmal errichtete ihm sein Schwiegervater Lorenz Stracke Grundbesitzer u. Holzhändler im Altharzdorf in Oktober 1874.

Jos. GahlerV českém překladu:Zde na tomto místě 25. června 1874 mezi 10. a 11. hodinou dopoledne byl zákeřně střelen ze vzdálenosti asi 30-40 kroků do krku a připraven o hodinky a hotovost dosud neznámým vrahem Wenzel Porsche, statkář z Doubí žijící ve Starém Harcově, když procházel touto mýtinou kvůli obchodu s kůrou a dřevem. V 31. roce života zemřel bez smrtelného zápasu a zanechal po sobě pět nezaopatřených dětí a truchlící manželku v naději se 6. dítětem. 29. června byl pohřben na hřbitově ve Starém Harcově.

Lepší věčnost bude odměnou za tvůj věrný a počestný pozemský život.

Tento pomník mu postavil jeho tchán Lorenz Stracke, statkář a obchodník se dřevem ve Starém Harcově v říjnu 1874.

Jos. GahlerPodrobnější informace o celém příběhu a širších souvislostech lze nalézt v literatuře či online zdrojích.

Wenzel Porsche byl statkářem v Doubí. Žil s manželkou Annou Marií a dětmi u svého tchána ve Starém Harcově. Ve čtvrtek 25. června 1874 se brzy ráno vydal pěšky za svými obchodními záležitostmi (vzal si 200 zlatek) do Bedřichova a k Nové Louce. Večer se nevrátil. Proto jeho tchán již o půlnoci poslal své dělníky, aby ho šli hledat. K nim se na Nové Louce připojilo několik dalších mužů lesnického personálu. Ti našli Wenzela Porscheho dopoledne na velké mýtině poblíž Hřebínku (dříve Dresslerův vrch).

Pachatelé zůstali téměř patnáct let neodhaleni. Byl podezříván i hajný Suchánek, za kterým Wenzel Porsche velmi pravděpodobně šel. Až koncem roku 1888 zjistili četníci z Tanvaldu, že v době Porscheho smrti pytlačili v panské oboře poblíž Nové Louky tři známí pytláci z Desné. Byli jimi Josef Pörner, Josef Prediger a Anton Nitsche (upřesnění v poznámce). Pörner v té době byl již po smrti a Nitsche se vystěhoval do Brazílie. Prediger se při výslechu přiznal, že toho dne všichni tři leželi na číhané u Černé Nisy, když se na pasece objevil nějaký muž. Mysleli si, že je to některý z hajných, a Pörner na něj zavolal, aby okamžitě zmizel. Ten ale na výzvu nereagoval a Pörner na něj vystřelil. Minul, proto vyzval Predingera, aby střílel on. Po jeho zásahu padl muž k zemi. O peníze nalezené u Porscheho se rozdělili a ukradli mu i jeho hodinky. Za ukradené peníze si Pörner i Prediger příští rok vystrojili svatbu.

Soud se konal 8. února 1889 u soudu v Liberci. Prediger dostal trest dvaceti let těžkého žaláře zostřeného každoročně v den výročí vraždy půstem a samotkou. Svobody se již nedočkal. Zemřel dříve, než jeho trest vypršel.

Další informace
Téměř vše, co bylo o tomto pomníku napsáno, vycházelo z textu zveřejněného v 35. ročence Německého horského spolku pro Ještědské a Jizerské hory z roku 1925. Autorem tohoto článku byl A. Leubner.

Ve veškeré literatuře věnované smrti Wenzela Porscheho je uváděno, že spolupachatelem vraždy sedláka Porscheho byl Anton Nitsche z Desné. Podle pamětníků z Desné jde zřejmě o tradovaný omyl. Anton Nitsche byl starostou Desné až do roku 1902. Hledaným podezřelým ze spoluúčasti na této vraždě byl velmi pravděpodobně Anton Ullmann, kterého hledala policie v Rakousku-Uhersku i v Německu. Dle německého policejního seznamu hledaných zločinců Deutsches Gauner-Repertorium (Steckbriefe aus dem Deutsches Reich 1880-1890) byl ještě v roce 1890 nezvěstný. Mezi lidmi se povídalo, že se odstěhoval do Brazílie, nebo se i on stal obětí nějakého trestného činu.

Research shows Trump censored by social media 65 times; Biden 0
The censorship has been measured over 2 years.
By Cindy Harper
A study by The Media Research Center has revealed that Twitter and Facebook have censored Trump 65 times in the period between May 2018 and October 16, 2020. In contrast, the two social media companies have not censored the Democratic Party's presidential candidate Joe Biden even once.
"Big Tech has caused serious damage to President Donald Trump's ability to be heard on social media. Twitter and Facebook have censored the president's social media accounts and the accounts belonging to his re-election campaign at least 65 times. In contrast, the companies have not censored… Joe Biden and his campaign accounts. At all," Media Research Center (MRC) wrote in the study.
The research center combed through Biden's and Trump's personal and campaign accounts from May 2018 to October 16, 2020. They found out that Twitter and Facebook censored the president 65 times while Biden's accounts were untouched.
"Big Tech's bias is clear and obvious.
"Twitter and Facebook have censored President @realDonaldTrump and his campaign at least 65 times combined.
"Yet they haven't touched any of Joe Biden's accounts even once," MRC wrote.
Twitter is by far the major culprit having censored the president 64 times. The micro-blogging platform has added fact-check labels to the president's tweets about mail-in voting, BLM protests, and the coronavirus. The platform has even gone as far as removing Trump's tweets about hydroxychloroquine.
"This censorship goes back as far as the beginning of the Trump presidency," MRC added. "The Trump campaign's accounts have also been struck by censorship on Twitter."
On the other hand, Facebook has censored the president five times. The most notable censorship was removing a post by the president containing an anti-Antifa video. Facebook claimed that the post violated it "organized hate policy."
MRC noted the platform's double standards as there are "multiple violent Antifa pages" on the platform.

El Alto Atlas es una subcordillera que forma parte del Atlas marroquí. Cuenta con las mayores altitudes de todo el norte de África, con la máxima cota en el monte Toubkal (4167 m). Se encuentra con el océano Atlántico en la zona de Agadir.

La cordillera es una barrera meteorológica de Marruecos que corre de este a oeste y separa las influencias climáticas del Sahara del el clima mediterráneo del norte, dando lugar a cambios drásticos de temperatura en toda la cordillera. En las elevaciones más altas la nieve cae con regularidad, lo que permite practicar deportes de invierno. Estas nieves duran hasta bien entrada la primavera, sobre todo en la cara norte de la cordillera.

El Alto Atlas forma la cuenca de una multiplicidad de sistemas fluviales. La mayoría de los ríos discurren hacia el norte, que proporciona la base para los asentamientos en ese lugar. Una serie de ramblas y ríos estacionales terminan en los desiertos al sur y mesetas al este de las montañas.

En el oeste se encuentra la parte más antigua de la cordillera. Su punto más alto es el Jbel Toubkal a 4167 m, que es visible desde la ciudad de Marrakech. El Jbel Toubkal se encuentra en el parque nacional del Toubkal, que fue creado en 1942. El macizo se compone de formaciones del Jurásico y Cretácico surcadas por profundos valles labrados por la erosión. Esta parte de la cordillera incluye el valle del Río Ourika, que es el único lugar en el Alto Atlas donde se encuentra el primate en peligro de extinción, la Macaca sylvanus, sin embargo, este primate también se encuentra en partes del Medio Atlas y el Rif, así como partes de Argelia.

El monte Jbel Ayachi también es una destacada cima del Alto Atlas, en concreto de la zona este.

Halite, more commonly known as rock salt, is the mineral used around the world as a food seasoning and preservative.
Rock salt 'grit' is vital for keeping our road traffic moving in icy weather.
How much is there in the UK?
Rock salt is the key ingredient in the 'grit' which keeps our road network moving despite ice and snow.
Rock salt is composed of the mineral halite (sodium chloride) and occurs in thick beds deep beneath parts of Cheshire, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland.
The UK has large resources of rock salt in the ground that are sufficient to last for hundreds of years.
In the UK, rock salt never occurs at the surface because the rainwater which soaks into the ground always dissolves it away. Almost all rock salt mined in the UK is used for road de-icing.
Table salt, and salt used as an ingredient in the manufacture of products such as household bleach and window glass, generally comes from brine which is pumped from the salt beds in Cheshire under carefully controlled conditions.
Rock salt (halite) from Boulby Potash Mine, North Yorkshire. The mine produces rock salt as a by-product of its potash mining operation, which is used as a de-icing agent on roads.
The salt formed 200–300 million years ago, when much of Britain was covered by a shallow sea surrounded by hot dry desert lands — much like the Persian Gulf today. As the water from this sea evaporated, salt crystals formed from the brine, along with other useful minerals such as gypsum (used for wall plaster) and potash (used for fertiliser).
Rock salt is mined at Winsford in Cheshire, Boulby in North Yorkshire and Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.

The Internet craze has induced a large possibility for every body to sell something to each person everywhere inside the world once they gather the tools essential to work thru the maze of rhetoric and misinformation surrounding internet commerce. We are in a Mega Information Era and the velocity at which facts are transferred is exceptional with another medium. With a click on of a mouse button you can turn an idea right into an internet site, an internet site right into an income funnel, and an income funnel into a direct payment into your pay friend account. Yes I recognize this is an oversimplification, however, buying online is here to stay and in case you empower your self with the essential utensils you could accomplish whatever online that the thoughts can create.
The Mega Information Era, however, is quickly becoming the "control of records inside the statistics era". Whatever you type into your Google Search will produce loads, every now and then lots of search results and it is very perplexing to realize where to turn for solutions. Disseminating and determining a direction regardless of what action you are taking is a lot harder than simply acquiring the statistics within the first place. This is a very one of a kind version previous to the internet technology. We are barraged constantly with hype, propaganda, mistruths and a bunch of different falsities, so we have to be capable of find credible, provable networks of human beings and companies to accept as true with.
To be able to circulate beyond the mainstream and the following get wealthy brief blast e-mail you need to have the ability position yourself online as a reputable, truthful supply and there are methods to accomplish this. To set yourself and your photograph other than the subsequent online renegade you have to "Brand" your self and your image. Branding is genuinely creating and mass distribution of your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) that makes people need to connect with your story in place of the competitions. What does this mean? In quick, seeing that the start of vintage college door to door selling human beings attract and buy from humans now not organizations. The business and the products are what the character became going to ultimately purchase besides. The character and their USP is what made them purchase from them individually. It is human nature that humans to draw to some thing about any other man or woman before trust and an eventual transaction can transpire.
Once we've got an information of this we will now shape all of our advertising campaigns to sell our product from a function of energy, credibility and a challenge declaration in preference to convincing, promoting or telling. There has continually been a stigma across the word promoting. No one wants to be bought by means of the used vehicle salesman right? BUT, all people love to buy "on their terms". Well, now we have a sports plan this is built for prevailing and getting the golden goose. If we lead with our personal specific promoting proposition and devise our advertising and advertising campaigns with "our tale" in mind, our goal marketplace will resonate with us and we are able to in turn appeal to the sort of people we need to sell our merchandise. Whether online, offline, direct promoting or a few different venue, amateurs "sell" and experts "sort". This genuinely approaches that you have to by no means ought to persuade or convince all of us in your merchandise, if the USP and your campaigns are constructed round you, you'll routinely entice the proper target market on your products. You are sorting when you are "disposing of the tire kickers" from the road of lifestyles.
With the flip key systems and "McDonald like" home based enterprise models that exist you must not have to promote each person and the sorting might be completed for you previous to any conversations and your conversions to income will boom dramatically while you entice the proper human beings. This can all be performed with the sophistication of the technical and social media outlets on the internet to quickly devise your USP. In the net generation and the coping with of that data it's miles without a doubt imperative we are surrounded by structures and approaches which might be built for showcasing our USP. If we are to put our niche' on line we need to be a grasp communicator through the written word. There are many avenues for schooling and talent sets needed to release your own USP for lifestyles to sell anything to all of us everywhere in the global. If you are a professional online marketer in place of a newbie you'll understand that so that it will promote you must sort first. This will provide you with the threshold to compete on this on line frenzy of mass wealth introduction. If you do not accept as true with me, simply kind in Make money on the line in Google and see the mass hysteria of information drift. What is your USP?
With the growing interest in on line buying and selling, there are many alternatives to select from to begin a career in this subject. If you're new to this subject, it is critical which you take the time to research and research all you may approximately this marketplace. Many new traders either attend a FOREX buying and selling route or purchase an automatic FOREX trading device. But, occasionally, time and finances dictate which alternative you select. Learning some facts approximately each option must help you are making the proper desire for you.
If you pick out an on line FOREX trading course, you will locate that it's miles a remarkable manner to learn new techniques. Many traders vow that these courses are the cause they earn massive income inside the FOREX market. However, many new investors claim that those new techniques aren't best found out by means of taking one clean route. Sometimes, the strategy that those publications offer traders isn't always sufficient for brand new traders to apply these techniques effectively. Further, the buying and selling marketplace is still a tough discipline to navigate due to the fact you cannot research in a route the way to create the time to additionally monitor the marketplace all day each day; a small truth that most guides do now not teach. By no longer as it should be making use of techniques and closely tracking the marketplace, many new investors virtually turn out to be dropping cash.
Your different desire is to invest in an automatic buying and selling the machine. The gain to these structures is they all observe a constant strategy and reveal the market all day for you. One reason many new buyers choose an automated device is that alternatively of getting to invest time taking a trading direction, an automated device best calls for you to download and set up software to begin. One downfall many new investors on occasion whinge about is that their new device stops working. Usually, this is a cliche because the author of the gadget did now not offer non-stop updates.
A new option for investors seeking out an automatic trading machine is the FOREX Rebellion. Unlike maximum buying and selling systems that behavior trades mechanically, this gadget gives a three phase buying and selling method which will study. It has a constructed in support called a Trade Advisor that is to be had twenty 4 hours a day. Traders are reporting a greater than seventy-five% buying and selling accuracy charge and that to reach this degree of a successful trading you most effective ought to invest a half hour of a while.
In brief, it's miles clever so as to invest your time and money in on line trading publications because you could in no way realize all there is approximately the FOREX market. However, extra frequently than not, investors find more achievement with a path and an automated buying and selling gadget.
A playwright as soon as said that we have to beware of false expertise due to the fact it's miles more dangerous than a lack of know-how. How actual. When it involves actual property making an investment or REI, wrong statistics is not only risky, it can also purpose your bankruptcy.
