As cabinet ministers weigh the pros and cons of a major oilsands expansion project that would send tanker traffic soaring in southern B.C. waters, the federal government has announced an unprecedented $1.5-billion investment in marine safety along Canadian coastlines.
On Monday, Prime Minister Trudeau partnered up with Transport Minister Marc Garneau in Vancouver to launch the National Oceans Protection Plan, which strives to create a "world-leading" marine safety system through responsible shipping, restoration of marine ecosystems, strengthened partnerships with Indigenous communities, and decision-making based on oil spill cleanup research and best practices.
Its implementation, starting in 2017, would impact the way first responders handle oil spills on the water, and comes only weeks before the federal government is due to decide the fate of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion, a pipeline proposal that includes oil tanker shipments from Burnaby, B.C. to overseas markets.
"This robust national plan will protect our coastlines from the damage that comes from shipping and pollution," said Trudeau. "These measures are progressive and proactive, and will ensure the health of our oceans for generations to come."
The announcement is particularly timely as a 37-metre gravel and sand barge bound for Alaska flipped and sunk in central B.C. waters on Sunday. The accident took place roughly 55 kilometres north of the site where a tanker and barge unit ran aground mid-October in the traditional territory of the Heiltsuk First Nation, spilling more than 200,000 litres of fuel into waters where the community harvests most of its food.
Trudeau said the spill in Heiltsuk territory is "unacceptable," and that the National Oceans Protection Plan was "long overdue." The legislation represents the most significant investment ever made in protecting Canada's oceans, he added.

"We have been cheated by a federal government for a long time while resources have gone to the east," she told delegates. "(Trudeau) has a chance to change it."
While the prime minister did not specifically address Clark's demands on Monday, he said the new Oceans Protection Plan was modelled after "world class" leaders in marine safety in Norway, Alaska, and other jurisdictions, and developed over two years of collaborative work with Indigenous people, coastal communities, and various government programs. It will be formally launched in 2017, and include improved marine traffic and navigation methods, legislation to prohibit vessel abandonment in Canadian waterways, greater resources for the Canadian Coast Guard, and a Maritime Rescue Sub-Centre in St. John's.
"Canada's economy, environment and history are inextricably linked to our coastal regions," he explained. "We know that to build a strong economy we need to protect the environment at the same time."
Additional investments, to be delivered over a five-year period, include new rescue stations, new towing capacity, new communications equipment, new research on the impacts of increased shipping on marine ecosystems, and new oil spill response methods. But a group of Indigenous activists, conservationists, and pipeline protesters outside the announcement say these measures still fall short of what's required to truly protect Canadian waters.

"It's a step in the right direction," said Heiltsuk Chief Marilyn Slett, whose community in Bella Bella, B.C. is still working to contain the October diesel spill that shut down vital clam and shellfish harvesting sites and contaminated local wildlife. "But the proof will be in the delivery for us."
In his speech, Trudeau acknowledged that First Nations are "always the first responders" to oil spills and promised that the new marine safety plan will be co-managed by Indigenous communities, and include new training and equipment for their own emergency response teams. He did not however, offer a start date for the crude oil tanker ban he promised for B.C.'s northern coast, which Chief Slett has described as "critical" for protecting the B.C. coast.
"We are coastal people and have to be a part of these authorities and responsibilities going forward, and also have a say about the shipping and whose traversing through our traditional territories," she told National Observer. "We can't afford to keep having these disasters."
As it stands, two major pipeline proposals could send tanker traffic soaring along the B.C. coast: the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion. While the former has been indefinitely delayed as a result of lawsuits, the latter is currently under federal consideration with a cabinet decision due by Dec. 19.
The Trans Mountain expansion, if approved, would triple the capacity of an existing pipeline system to bring up to 890,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta to tidewater in Burnaby, B.C. It would increase tanker traffic in local waters by 600 per cent — an increase environmentalists and nearby First Nations argue would threaten endangered orca populations and critical salmon habitat through underwater noise levels, risk of collision, and poisoning in the event of an oil spill on water.

"It's great that they're talking about spill preparedness, but the fact is, bitumen cannot be cleaned up," said Karen Mahon, Canadian director for Stand. "It sinks and there is no amount of money that is going to invent the science that is going to allow us to clean up bitumen."
Even if there is no spill, she added, the endangered Southern resident killer whale could go extinct if the pipeline is built as a result of disturbance or collision with its oil tankers. In its review of the expansion, the National Energy Board (NEB) did not consider the pipeline's impact on oceans, she argued, and the onus now falls on the federal government to conduct that analysis before it decides to approve the project.
"It's not possible for them to approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline until they have a real plan to protect critical (orca) habitat," she said, standing next to a fellow protester dressed in a furry killer whale costume. "These orcas can't live anywhere else, and according to SARA (Species At Risk Act), they need a plan to recover the habitat in this area."
"We take the responsibilities under SARA extremely seriously in this government and that's why we're engaged very closely in monitoring marine mammals, proper research and habitat protection," he told National Observer. "We know there is an awful lot to do. The Southern pod is particularly vulnerable and that's why we're working with world class scientists, ensuring that we can do what we can to protect these vulnerable populations."
Trans Mountain declined to comment on this story.

Does new protection signal pipeline approval?
The statements, of course, are speculation, but in a press release, Green Party leader Elizabeth May also linked the expansion with Monday's announcement on marine safety. She encouraged cabinet ministers not to let the new plan tempt them as they weigh the pros and cons of the project before the December decision deadline.
"Nothing in today's announcement clears the way for cabinet's approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project," she explained. "There is insufficient scientific evidence to justify a seven-fold increase in tanker traffic through the Salish Sea and Burrard Inlet that carries dilbit, a toxic mix of solid bitumen and diluent.
"The Kinder Morgan decision will serve as the litmus test to Prime Minister Trudeau's commitment to genuine protection of our coastline, the environment and to real climate action."

The building of two new radars in Atlantic Canada – one to be installed in the Strait of Belle Isle area, and the second one in Chedabucto, Nova Scotia.
Increased domestic and international scientific collaboration on oil spill response through investments for Fisheries and Oceans Canada's world-leading Centre for Offshore Oil, Gas and Energy Research in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Continued investment in response planning for the Strait of Canso, Nova Scotia, and the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, including bringing together baseline biology, ecology, social, cultural, and economic data.
Improved timely availability of science-based expertise during incidents by placing additional emergency and enforcement officers in Atlantic Canada.
Increased marine safety information for mariners and improving hydrography, charting, and e-navigation products, including for the Strait of Canso, Nova Scotia, and Saint John, New Brunswick.
Investment in research to support new and refined oceanographic oil spill trajectory models, including for the Strait of Canso, Nova Scotia, and the Port of Saint John, New Brunswick.
Learning how to better protect marine mammals from shipping-related threats.
The launch of a comprehensive plan to address abandoned, derelict and wrecked vessels, including making vessel owners responsible and liable for vessel clean-up.
If this plan includes the use of Corexit in any body of water it will be a disaster of "historic" magnitude. The timing of the announcement is propitious, given the Lelu Island and expected rubber stamping of KM. With the UN announcement that the Paris plan is nowhere near enough and 12-14 BILLION metric tonnes per year More have to be reduced by 2030, there is absolutely no way we can allow any of these to go ahead. Plans to "protect" coastlines while approving a giant LNG terminal with a bridge to be built over the eel grass beds isn't just hypocrisy, it is unconscionable. Reinstate the Navigable Waters Act immediately, ban ALL tanker traffic from most of BC waters, take firm measures to stop these tug/barge problems and have a do-over on all provincial/federal climate plans to factor in the UN information, as well as the report (cbc website) saying these massive reservoir dams are releasing about 25% more GHGs than previously thought. So Site C, Muskrat Falls, etc, Must be reassessed based on this new SCIENCE. Failing that, this government's public appearances should be greeted by walls of people turning their backs. It seems the only voices they are listening to are deep pocket lobbyists, corporate sponsors and those paying for access at private fundraisers. The PM's many "private meetings" that the open and transparent PMO refuses to explain may also have something to do with this charade. I'd like some investigative reporting on that to hit the airwaves.
This is the foreboding many have feared was coming, KM will be approved without the requirement for a marine effects analysis. The sell out is here.
Contrary to Trudeau's announcement that a "robust national plan will protect our coastlines from the damage that comes from shipping and pollution", this is simply empty rhetoric. Nothing can stop a disaster from happening, and when it does, more likely in terrible weather than in good weather, there is precious little they can do to stop the pollution or effectively clean up the damage after the fact. The ONLY way to stop tanker accidents on our coast is to ban tanker traffic along our coast.
More First Nations involvement will help greatly when dealing with incidents like the recent Bella Bella spill…Yes, let's first deal with this vital, supply service for coastal communities…!
The Aframax or larger vessels should be banned from our many narrow inlets, and passes….and restricted to open ocean locations …NOT Burrard Inlet, or the Salish Sea , or Douglas Channel or the Great Bear rain forest region..
Location from the subject matter will make the visible difference from a excellent image and a great picture. The niche ought to rarely be dead heart in the middle of the photograph. When getting your picture, attempt to placement the niche inside the top, or reduced 3rd from the impression. This impact is most effective should there be a horizon inside the distance.
Get anything you undoubtedly enjoy doing after which, embark on it when you're getting an anxiety attack. Pick something which is meditative, like gentle yoga or knitting, to ensure that you'll get lost inside and end up forgetting what is occurring for your body. Make sure you're able to perform this whenever an attack strikes.

Q: Groovy NullObject should be null or not? This example can be easily tested in the groovy console.
var a is evaluated to not null while b is evaluated to null.
Both are instances of org.codehaus.groovy.runtim.NullObject
def b = null

println b.getClass()
println b == null

def a = null.getClass().newInstance()

println a.getClass()
println a == null

Does anyone knows why?
This is a tricky thing when dealing with reflection code.

A: Actually I am wondering if this is not a bug. As an explanation... NullObject is a runtime/intermediate kind of Object. If you do anything on null, then NullObject is used. This, and the the implementation of NullObject#equals speaks for a==null returning true. It returns fails, because there is some internal code before that, that is for example determining if compareTo is called instead of equals and such things. Now this piece of code starts with
if (left == right) return true;
if (left == null || right == null) return false;

so null==null will return true, but NullObject==null will return false. On the other hand NullObject should not leak out if possible. Maybe we should fix newInstance() to return null.
I filled http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-5769 for this

A: In the equals method of NullObject, it only returns true if you are comparing it to null
As an instance of NullObject is not strictly null, it returns false...
Whether NullObject should return true if you call equals against another NullObject is probably a question best asked on the mailing list...  I'll have a look and see if I can find any previous question.

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister P. Chidambaram Wednesday said he would soon approach Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with a proposal to use the country's record foreign exchange reserves to fund infrastructure development.
"I am carefully calibrating the debate. I am observing all ideas," Chidambaram told the annual Economic Editors' Conference here, adding that he would take the proposal to the prime minister once he formed an opinion.
The idea of using the foreign exchange reserves, which currently stand at $122 billion, for infrastructure development was mooted by Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia.
But some economists have been of the view that to use the money to fund projects would result in stoking inflationary pressures because of the resultant expansion in money supply.
Chidambaram said the government had constituted an expert group comprising representatives of financial institutions and banks for speedy implementation of infrastructure projects, particularly in seaports, airports and tourism.

Pride Spotlight: Metro Tennis Group
Pride Spotlight:
Metropolitan Tennis Group
Erin Maher | June 26, 2018
The Metropolitan Tennis Group (MTG), based in Manhattan, N.Y., has colored the courts of the Big Apple with a diverse and accepting group of tennis enthusiasts for more than 20 years.
Founded in 1987, the non-profit organization offers plenty of tennis programs and activities for LGBTQ tennis players of all ages and levels. Monthly singles play, doubles play, winter leagues and summer ladders fill the tennis calendar year-round, providing opportunities for everyone to hit the courts.
Every July, MTG hosts the Liberty Open, its marquee tournament, and a premier event on the Gay Lesbian Tennis Association World Tour. Held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., the tournament has as many as 300 participants from across the country compete on the same courts on which the US Open is held, making it the only GLTA tournament played on a Grand Slam site.
Besides the robust tennis offerings, MTG offers members something even greater – community.
"I believe in the community aspect of the group," said MTG Commissioner and Courts and Event Director Daniel Arzuaga. "MTG gives people a group, a family and a place to belong."
Arzuaga joined MTG in 2007, becoming first an active member and then joining the board, helping to facilitate a sport and group he truly loves.
"I joined the board because I love tennis and because I believe in the power of tennis and how it can be such a positive force in people's lives," Arzuaga said. "It's not only great exercise and fun, but it's a great way to meet people, build communities and foster camaraderie, and spawn joy and happiness."
When scrolling through MTG's Facebook page, one will see several non-tennis postings, including organized happy hours, meet-ups and other social outings for the group, which foster a sense of community and family.
Social outings are also a means of giving back to the community. Community outreach and philanthrophy are cornerstones of MTG. In 2017, MTG raised more than $7,500, which was donated to various LGBTQ charities.
"One of the things that makes me proud to be an MTG member is the political responsibility and sensitivity of our MTG family," Arzuaga said. "Over the years, MTG has donated to many charities and organizations to help improve the LGBT communities around us."

When BMW first unveiled its now ubiquitous iDrive system 14 years ago, a Mercedes-Benz executive was asked what he thought of it.
He reportedly said: "We make cars, not mobile phones."
Well, it did not take long for Mercedes - and practically everyone else - to start making their own versions of the iDrive, availing phone-like functions to millions of people while they are at the wheel.
The latest Audi TT takes the game a notch higher, with its so-called "virtual cockpit" - where all infotainment functions of the car are projected onto the vehicle's instrument binnacle.
This means the driver saves, on average, 16 7-degree left-right swivels of the neck per 5km journey, delaying degeneration of several cervical discs and, more importantly, allowing him to tailgate other cars with full concentration.
That's me being facetious, of course. What the virtual cockpit does is that it allows the front passenger to rest his feet on the dashboard without blocking the driver's view of the centre console.
Okay, that's still me being facetious.
On a serious note, the concept is clever and tidy. It minimises clutter on the dash, allowing the eye to appreciate the neat lines of the TT's sweeping fascia.
Neatness has always been the overarching theme of the TT's design and this has not changed. The new car, however, tones down curvaceousness for a more angular and masculine profile, conveying geometry, precision and a hint of aggression.
The latest model is equipped to deliver performance that matches its sleek appearance, at least on paper. The 2-litre variant produces 230bhp and 370Nm of torque, enabling the car to clock a 5.3-second sprint to 100kmh.
Mind you, that was what a Porsche 911 Carrera S managed just 10 years ago.
Honestly, the TT does not feel that quick, although I did not put it to the test via Launch Control, which the car is now equipped with.
During day-to-day driving, with the occasional full-throttle jaunt, the Audi is swift but not as lethal as its specs suggest. Driven with conviction in Sport mode, it is adequately entertaining, with the outpouring of verve underscored by the car's characteristically sharp steering as well as its stout and competent chassis.
Its brakes, for instance, are as grippy as those of an out-and-out sports car.
Engine sound is less filtered now, but it is the car's brassy and bassy exhaust note that gets you all tingly.
Still, for all its sound and fury, the TT is just a tad short of stirring. Driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI will release as much adrenaline and endorphins.
But, of course, a GTI is not as drop dead gorgeous as the TT. The car is seriously sharp. On a stylistic scale with the Porsche 911 on one end and the Lamborghini Aventador on the other, the TT now sits squarely in the middle. Previously, it would have been hard to imagine it as anything but a clone of the 911.
The car is about the same size as its predecessor, but its wheelbase has been extended and it weighs less because of more lightweight materials onboard - as well as the exclusion of a few components in the cabin.
Which brings us back to its virtual cockpit. Besides being tidy and reducing the weight of the car, it puts almost everything you need to access within reach of your thumbs - just like a mobile phone.
But for those who grew up before smartphones were invented, it is comforting to know you still can resort to old-fashioned functions such as handwriting-enabled navigation.
To see the entire instrument binnacle filled with a colour map is rather cool. But, to me, the coolest feature within has to do with the air-conditioning.
The temperature, fan and modal controls are integrated with the jet turbine-line vents. You also adjust airflow direction by dialling these vents - not very intuitive, but clever and chic.
And of course, at my age, anything that delays further degeneration of cervical discs can't be all bad.


A gene associated with obesity and overeating is also linked to the most fatal skin cancer, malignant melanoma.
The finding came from a new study conducted by Cancer Research UK experts at the University of Leeds, England, and was published in Nature Genetics.
Individuals with certain variations in a stretch of DNA within the FTO gene, known as intron 8, may have a higher chance of developing melanoma, according to the results.
Scientists have known that the most critical genetic risk factor for obesity and overeating are variations in a different part of the FTO gene, referred to as intron 1.
In 2010, researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC), UK, demonstrated that overactivity of the gene FTO leads to overeating and obesity.
These variants are associated with BMI (body mass index), which calculates a person's shape by using their height and weight. People with high BMIs may have a raised risk of a range of diseases, such as kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, womb (endometrial) cancer and a host of other problems.
The current study, however, is the first to demonstrate that the gene plays a role in the development of melanoma, a disease which is not associated with obesity and BMI.
The report implies that FTO plays a more wide-ranging part than experts believed in the past, with different areas of the gene being linked to a range of diseases.
"This is the first time to our knowledge that this major obesity gene, already linked to multiple illnesses, has been linked to melanoma. This raises the question whether future research will reveal that the gene has a role in even more diseases?"
A study from 2010 suggested that the FTO gene increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Other research on the FTO gene has only observed its importance in metabolism and appetite, the authors said. However, it is now obvious that scientists do not completely understand all that this gene does.
"This reveals a hot new lead for research into both obesity-related illnesses and skin cancer," Iles added.
Experts gathered and analyzed data on tumor samples from over 13,000 melanoma patients and nearly 60,000 controls (people with no melanoma) from all over the world.
Malignant melanoma is the fifth most prevalent cancer among people in the UK. Each year, there are about 12,800 novel cases and approximately 2,200 deaths resulting from the disease.
"These are fascinating early findings that, if confirmed in further research, could potentially provide new targets for the development of drugs to treat melanoma," explained Dr Julie Sharp, Cancer Research UK's senior science information manager.
Experts have already been able to create new crucial treatments for skin cancer that will have a considerable impact on patients, because of the progress in understanding more about the molecules that drive skin cancer.
"But it doesn't detract from the importance of reducing your risk of the disease by enjoying the sun safely on winter breaks abroad and avoiding sunbeds. Getting a painful sunburn just once every two years can triple the risk of melanoma."
Previous research suggested that the risk of skin cancer from tanning beds is two times higher than spending the same length of time in the summer sun.

Judges will designate a guardian to make important decisions for people who cannot do so for themselves because an illness, disability, substance abuse problem, or is otherwise incapacitated. Once the court deems an individual incapacitated and is now under the state system, they then refer to them as a "ward of the state." The designated guardian can then make decisions for the ward that have to do with housing, education, medical care, clothing, and social activities.
In a conservatorship, decisions are made concerning money and property. In these situations, a judge will appoint an individual or financial institution to manage money and assets for another individual deemed now a "protected person".
The person to be protected is not able to manage his or her assets with any effectiveness.
The person to be protected is in position of assets that are in danger of being squandered.
There will be no appointed conservator until a judge has determined one after a hearing. Conservatorships can be temporary, or longer term, arrangements, depending on the needs of the protected person and the judgment of the court.

Medicine & Health researchers awarded $1.5 million NHMRC funding
Promoting global health
Sydney researchers have received 13 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grants worth over $1.5 million.
Professor Simon Lewis from the Faculty and Medicine and Health and the Brain and Mind Centre has secured a $462,501 grant as part of the 2021 NHMRC- European Union Joint Programme on Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) as part of the COgNiTive propagation in PRodrOmal Parkinson's Disease: CONTROL-PD.
Professor Lewis and his team will investigate REM sleep behaviour disorder as a predictor of Parkinson's Disease in older people by assessing groups of local patients. The data will be assessed locally before being pooled with that of international research teams in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Israel and Canada. The research aims to provide a better understanding of how Parkinson's Disease spreads through the central and peripheral nervous systems to improve patient outcomes and enable earlier access to disease modifying therapies.
Twelve University of Sydney students also received NHMRC postgraduate scholarships valued at $1,092,731.
The grants are part of a $44 million dollar investment by the Federal Government to strengthen Australian participation in international research efforts and promote global health objectives by funding postgraduate scholarships, international collaboration and research infrastructure and equipment through the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The funding aims to assist Australian based researchers participating in collaborative international research projects.
Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, Greg Hunt, said sharing scientific knowledge enables Australian researchers to develop best practices and build international research networks that will accelerate discoveries and their translation into better health outcomes.
"NHMRC's international partnerships bring researchers together to promote global health objectives and strengthen Australian participation in international research efforts," Minister Hunt said.
"This collaboration begins with postgraduate research students learning from their mentors, sharing skills and ideas and continues with international partnerships when researchers around the world come together to solve shared health challenges," NHMRC CEO Professor Anne Kelso AO said.
The twelve Sydney students awarded NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarships are:
Tara Guckel: Advancing the prevention and early intervention for co-occurring anxiety and alcohol use disorders ($93,056)
Sophia Garlick Bock: Comorbid Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Use Among Sexuality and Gender Diverse Young People in Australia ($93,056)

Islamic Buildings
Dome of rock Jerusalem
Introduction to Dome of rock Jerusalem and description.
The dome of octagonal shape is the holy shrine of remarkable importance in Muslim history. The dome was built by one of the Umayyad caliphs, Abdul-al-Malik. The dome was built at the start of the 690s. It took almost one year for its completion. The shrine is located on the hill in one of the oldest cities of Jerusalem.
The three important places Masjid Al Aqsa, the dome of the rock and Al harem Sharif all have the same location. These are not part of one another, rather three different places of spirituality in Islamic history. This is the reason Jerusalem is considered the holy place by Muslims, Jews, and Christians. It is the most sacred place for Muslims because of the beloved Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). As he went up to Heaven on 27 Rajab from the sacred rock in the base of Dome. The Jews considered temple mount of holy importance, as this is the site where Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) sacrificed his son.
Jerusalem originally consisted of Muslims for almost 60 years. After some years of completion of Dome of Rock, Jerusalem was taken by Christians. Masjid al Aqsa is located on a widely open holy place i-e Al harem Sharif. Many other religious buildings and schools are too located on it.
The place has attained high spiritual importance, as Allah descended Hazrat Adam (A.S) from heaven to earth. The Dome of rock is the first religious shrine ever built on earth. The UN body of Heritage has recognized Jerusalem as the most astonishing land piece. The religious, cultural, ancient Islamic architectural style and high spiritual importance make the city most astounding.
Umayyads reign (Dome of rock Jerusalem)
The remarkable Umayyad caliph Abd-ul-Malik started the construction of the astonishing shrine. The basic octagonal structure of shrine and dome is in its original form, as it was constructed. Abd-ul-Malik appointed two Engineers for its construction. Raja ibn-e-Haywah was the native Arabian and political advisor of Abd-ul-Malik. Yazid ibn-e-Saleem was Muslim but native of Jerusalem. The cost of its construction was high, as it exceeds the annual taxes of whole Egypt. Jerusalem was ruled by Byzantines ruler at that time which has greatly attracted the non-native Christians. Christian from all over the world started to visit Jerusalem. Byzantine reign has widely influenced Christianity. Many churches were built in Jerusalem. The most prominent of which was Church of Holy Sepulcher. When the construction of Dome was initiated Muslims were fighting with Byzantines in Jerusalem and Ibne-al-Zuber. Ibne-al-Zubyr was controlling Mecca at that time. The main reason for the construction of Dome was to distinguish Muslims from Jews and Christians.
Abbasids reign:
The earthquake of 808 and 846 had damaged the dominating shrine to a greater extent. Later in 1015, the earthquake of high magnitude hit the Dome of Rock and caused it to fall down. Although the main structure of the shrine was not affected. In 1022, one of the Abbasid rulers ordered to rebuilt the Dome.
Fatmid's reign and Crusades
The Christians from different areas of the world have visited Jerusalem. At that time the Church of Holy Sepulcher was considered as the holiest place for Christians. One of the Fatmid's caliph Abu Ali Mansur ordered the destruction of the Church. The Church was completely demolished. This then led towards the series of wars among Fatmids and crusades. The crusades won the battle in 1099. The crusades then started to rule at Jerusalem. The Dome of Rock was turned to Church by crusades.
Ayyubids reign:
Saladin the founder of the Ayyubids dynasty fought a war with Crusades. Saladin won the battle and took back Jerusalem in 1187. The Dome of Rock was changed to the religious shrine of Muslims under the orders of Saladin. Later Malik-al-Moazzam has done a lot of work, bring the Dome to its original form. Mali-al-Moazzam was the nephew of Saladin.
Mamluk's period (1250-1510):
Dome of Rock was the center of attention by Mamluk sultans. Many restorations to the holy shrine were dome during the Mamluk dynasty.
The dome of Rock was covered by tiles during the Ottomans rule. The Ottoman's ruler played a significant role in the major decoration of the shrine. Porcelain (the magnificent ceramic material) was added to the outer facade. Both the exterior and interior decoration takes seven years in its completion. Ottomans ruler has done a lot for the construction of other religious buildings in Jerusalem. In 1620, One of the rulers of the Ottoman empire built the Dome of Prophet.
British impact
The major restorations to Al Aqsa mosque and Dome of Rock were done by Mohammad Amin-al-Hassan in 1917. He appointed one landowner from Romania and Grand mufti from the British to accomplish the restoration. The earthquake of 1927 has greatly damaged the major infrastructure of the holy shrine.
Jordan impact
In 1955, the government of Jordan has ordered the restoration of the dome, with the assistance of the Arab and Turkey governments. The tiles of the religious shrine were replaced, as marble is affected by the acid rain. The outer Dome was covered by an alloy of copper and Bronze. later this was replaced by the Gold.
Israel influence
The Israel rule was started in Jerusalem in 1948. In 1967, they made a committee to look after the Dome of Rock, Masjid al Aqsa. The basic purpose of this committee was to make Jerusalem a peaceful place.
With the assistance of funds from the US, the dome of gold was replaced by new. The dome of the rock is made of 80 Kg of gold.
Structure of Dome of Rock:
The exterior of the Mosque (Dome of rock Jerusalem)
The religious shrine is characterized by the large dome having the octagonal structure. The large wooden dome with an outer covering of gold has 20 m diameter. The dome is at height of 30 m from the ground. The dome seems like rising to heaven. It also served as the whole essence of Muslim beliefs and spirituality. The shrine has a large courtyard on all sides. The octagonal structure below the dome is made of marble. Octagonal has a total of eight sides. There are total four doors of shrine. These doors are present after the gap of one side in sequence. Every side of door has total of seven windows. It is also regarded as wonder of mathematics. Because of its geometrical shape the construction of one particular shape.
The color scheme of Dome of Rock is also very specific in terms of religious spirituality. Three main colors were used in the shrine. White is a symbol of peace among the Muslims, which is used on half of the walls. Sky blue which is symbol of faith and depth, it is used on the upper side of the walls. The golden color symbolizes illumination and passion. All the colors of religious and divine shrine gave the message of Islam to all the Muslims of the world.
The walls of the shrine have a height of about 67 feet. The doors are made of plain wood with two rectangular cuttings on the upper side. In the rectangular cuttings, plane glass mirrors are fitted. The windows are made of marble with circular cuttings. All four doors are surrounded by six small pillars. Uppermost part of the walls is ornamented with different verses from the holy Quran.
The Interior of the Mosque (Dome of rock Jerusalem)
The interior hall of the shrine is divided into different symmetrical segments, supported by the pillar. The floor of the shrine is covered by mosaic, instead of marble. Large size pillars are present all over the hall. The exact place from where Muhammad (P.B.U.H) ascended to heaven is not covered by tiles. But this is protected by the boundary on its outer sides.
fig: Natural cave under the hall
The sacred stone is also in its original position as left by Prophet (P.B.U.H). There are wooden rocks on all the sides of the pillars. Holy book Quran, Hades and other religious books are present over there. The ceiling of Hall is blended with the oldest Islamic architectural styles. Wood and mosaic are used in the ceiling of the shrine. The interior walls are covered by mosaic. The architecture style of the hall is stunning. In-ceiling of shrine painted timber, mosaic and carved stones are used. The stones used in the ceiling have multi-complex shapes and cuttings. The natural cave is present under the hall. Stairs are made to move into a cave.
Control of Dome:
The ministry of Awqaf was made by the government of Jordan to maintain Dome of Rock. Till 1967, non-Muslims were completely banned over this place. But the demand for tourists from all over the world caused the ministry to change its rule. The non-Muslims can only visit the shrine from the outside. They are not allowed to go inside the dome.
Religious importance for Muslims:
The foundational stone is of religious significance, as this was the place where the Prophet (P.B.U.H) moved up to heaven. The incident of Miraj Sharif is also mention in the Holy Quran. It was also the first Qibla of Muslims, later it was changed by Muhammad (P.B.U.H) after revelation.

The Great Stratification – The Chronicle Review – The Chronicle of Higher Education
tags: great chronicle review higher higher education education
How would the diorama represent the professor of 2020?
Some observers predict that she won't exist: In the memorable phrase of Frank Donoghue, a professor of English at Ohio State University, we are living in the age of "the last professors." Less apocalyptic commentators say the professor has experienced "deprofessionalization."
Both views try to capture the squeeze on professorial jobs, but they misrecognize fundamental aspects of the changes that have occurred. Rather than extinction, we have seen the steady expansion of academic labor over the past century, and rather than "deskilling," we are undergoing more rather than less professionalization. What has been going on is what sociologists call "differentiation" and "stratification."
We are in the era of the Great Stratification.
the all-purpose professor has faded
instead of the traditional idea of a community of scholars, all roughly equivalent, we now have a distended pyramid, with a huge base of people whose primary job is teaching, often entry-level courses; a layer of specialists in particular fields and researchers who may hardly even teach above them; and a thin spire of administrators commanding the peak.
The spread of academic labor follows the trend of other professions. The idea of the professional usually evokes a generic image—the old-fashioned family doctor, for instance, who hung out his shingle—but now we have a much more variegated system of alpha and beta practitioners. And rather than the ideal of being independent and roughly equivalent to their peers, most professionals now work in hierarchical bureaucratic structures.
Along with the greater differentiation of tasks over the past 50 years, we have experienced a progressively steeper stratification of academic workers. Sometimes people complain about professionalization and blame it for problems in academe, but we should recall that the movement toward professionalization after World War II advanced almost all fields and reflected a more equitable society, certainly more than at any point in the past century
A special body of knowledge, conferred in higher education and affirmed by a professional organization, still distinguishes professions from other occupations.
As higher ed has undergone some of the same changes as medicine, a complicated web of academic labor has developed. For the student, the result is similar to the patient seeking health care: When she enters college, she only occasionally encounters a full-fledged professor; she is more likely to see beta professionals—the adjunct comp teacher, the math TA, the graduate assistant in the writing center, the honors-program adviser, and the staff members who run the programs.
It is not that professors have disappeared. In fact, there are some half a million with full-time, tenure-stream jobs. Their jobs have changed, though, and in some respects they have paralleled physicians in becoming increasingly specialized, relieved from teaching to do research, or teaching only advanced courses, or administering, whether directing the writing program, founding the new center of interdisciplinary studies, or stepping out to become an assistant dean.
Still, it's important to remember that most professors do a good deal of teaching—particularly those at community colleges, four-year colleges, and master's institutions. We take research universities as the standard, but they are not really typical of most people's experience.
The chief difference from medicine is the steep drop in pay, benefits, and job security for those who hold beta positions. Over the past 40 years, we have witnessed the rapid growth of contingent professors—part-time, adjunct, nonpermanent—who now account for three-quarters of college teachers. While health-care professionals in beta positions earn decent wages—nurses average about $65,000 a year, and nurse practitioners and physician's assistants over $90,000—and usually have secure jobs, the majority of college teachers hold part-time appointments, typically paid $2,000 to $3,000 per course, and have no job security.
The rise of contingent faculty is frequently explained with the knowing invocation of "supply and demand," but let's put that notion to rest once and for all. The demand for higher education has increased relatively steadily over the past century—from about 238,000 enrolled students in 1900 to 598,000 in 1920, 1.49 million in 1940, 4.1 million in 1960, 12.1 million in 1980, and over 20 million now—so there is a palpable need for college teachers. Just as there is a need for health-care workers.
the example of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician's assistants shows that it is possible to build a more rational and fair system of professional labor than we have. The market, after all, is not a natural force but a human arrangement, based on a social contract, protected and encouraged by law as well as regulated by it.
Rather than a horizontal community of scholars, or even a pyramid with reasonable steps of rank, the American university has adopted its own harsh class structure: the mass of the contingent (and other workers) struggling at the bottom, tenure-stream professors in the middle class speaking for the university's intellectual values and productions, and superstar faculty and administrators in the upper class setting its direction and taking the greatest rewards.
The shape of academic labor is profoundly unbalanced.
We might argue that stratification is a natural development of social systems as they become larger and more differentiated. But such severe economic stratification is another matter, and it arises from the agreements and contracts of people. For the resigned or cynical, it is perhaps no surprise that higher education is a fractal of the winner-take-all society, but how much disparity are we willing to accept?
And shouldn't those of us in a humanistic institution, presumably charged to inculcate humane values and preserve the best of our culture, support and enact fair labor practices, certainly above a living wage and with secure terms?
One idea is to take the model of nurse practitioners and physician's assistants and formalize credentials for "teaching practitioners." There has been a good deal of discussion about reforming the Ph.D., particularly about shortening the time to degree. For instance, in a much-discussed essay, "How to Make a Ph.D. Matter," first published in The New York Times Magazine in 1996 and elaborated in his book The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University (Norton, 2010), Harvard University's Louis Menand proposed that we consider shortening the Ph.D. to "a determinate length," like a law degree, which is customarily three years. His reasoning was that, if so many people were not getting full-time jobs and were taking nearly 10 years to finish, then we need a more pliable Ph.D. But perhaps we need other degrees besides the Ph.D.
We should consider if we would be better served to have an intermedial degree—more advanced than the M.A., which seems more a preparatory than terminal degree for academics, but less lengthy and more practical than the current Ph.D. In turn, the Ph.D. could be reserved for specialist positions, advanced researchers, or field experts.
Just a few weeks ago, Derek Bok, former president of Harvard, declared in The Chronicle, "The most glaring defect of our graduate programs, however, is how little they do to prepare their students to teach." Perhaps there might be a degree track that emphasizes new modes, techniques, and technologies of instruction.
We might imagine a system of teaching practitioners who design curriculum and have job security, rather than filling their jobs in the ad hoc way that we do now. It is not merely for their sake, but to stabilize the experience of college for most undergraduates, which in turn might help remedy attrition.
My belief is that we should have a horizontal model of academic work, one that both honors the tradition of a community of scholars and carries out the practices of unionism, seeking cooperative control of the workplace. But it seems as if the strongest move for "non-tenure-track faculty" is to develop their own recognized credential and job track. It would afford a species of professional control. Those of us who hold professorships should support this effort because the obvious exploitation of college teachers devalues our own jobs, as well as violates the spirit of the university.
What good is knowledge if it brings us gross inequality and unfair terms for a majority of those who work, or with whom we work?

Production for DEMETRIUS was completed in September 1953, while production for THE EGYPTIAN started in March 1954. Aside from a few changes, the entire set is generally the same. I always have a sense of deja vu when I watch these movies.

Here's why warehouse owners are giddy
The Chicago-area industrial real estate market hit new heights in 2021. "It's beyond remarkable," says one broker. But supply-chain bottlenecks could make life difficult for developers in 2022.

The soaring market for warehouse space in the Chicago area hit new heights at the end of 2021, the best year of the century for industrial landlords by far.
E-commerce, retail, logistics and manufacturing businesses continued to lease big chunks of space in the quarter, pushing the local industrial vacancy rate down to 5.44%, the lowest level since 2000, according to Colliers International. The rate has been declining steadily since it hit a pandemic peak of 6.73% at the end of 2020.

Pain keeps coming for suburban office landlords
Warehouse developers wrapped up their busiest year ever, completing 30.9 million square feet of space in the Chicago area, eclipsing the prior record of 24.8 million set in 2017. But they still couldn't keep up with demand: Net absorption, or the change in the amount of leased space versus the prior period, totaled 44.9 million square feet in the Chicago area last year, 69% more than the previous annual record of 26.6 million square feet set in 2016.
"It's beyond remarkable," said broker Matthew Stauber, executive vice president in Colliers' Rosemont office. "It's not like we just beat records. We demolished old records."
The pandemic hit retail landlords and hotel owners hard, briefly derailed the downtown apartment market and continues to undermine demand for office space, as more businesses embrace work-from-home or hybrid schedules. But the warehouse market has acquired superpowers over the past two years, as Amazon and other consumer businesses like Target and Wayfair expand their supply chains to keep up with growing e-commerce sales.
The rise of online shopping during the pandemic also has had a trickle-down effect on logistics firms that serve the e-commerce sector. At the end of 2021, Apex Logistics leased a 297,600-square-foot warehouse under construction in Bensenville.
The volume of really big leases—those exceeding 500,000 square feet—has risen over the past couple years in the Chicago area, hitting 19 deals in 2022, more than double the number in 2020, according to Colliers. In the biggest local lease of 2022, Central Steel & Wire, a unit of Ryerson Holding, a Chicago-based steel company, leased an 897,000-square-foot building being constructed in University Park.
BEYOND REMARKABLE
Amid booming demand for warehouse space, the vacancy rate for Chicago-area industrial property in the fourth quarter dipped below 6% for the first time in more than two decades.

But even that lease had an e-commerce connection: Central Steel decided to move to University Park after agreeing to sell its big plant in Gage Park to Amazon, which plans to build a distribution center there.
In other big, local fourth-quarter deals, Atlanta-based Home Depot leased an 879,100-square-foot warehouse in Monee and Richfield, Minn.-based Best Buy leased a 650,500-square-foot building in Bolingbrook.
Developers are scrambling to find land for new projects, but good locations are getting harder to find. Another big constraint on development: Obtaining construction materials has become especially hard—and expensive—due to supply-chain bottlenecks.
"The biggest risk (to the market) is that uncertainty," Stauber said.
With demand outstripping supply, rents are rising fast. Around O'Hare International Airport, an especially strong submarket, rents are rising into the double digits from about $8 per square foot a year ago, Stauber said.
"Many landlords are almost afraid to commit to deals, because if they wait another month, (rents) are going to go up," he said.
Though some local records fell in 2021, one did not. The vacancy rate, at 5.44% in the fourth quarter, is still higher than the all-time low of 5.39% in third-quarter 2000, according to Colliers. Craig Hurvitz, Colliers vice president of research for the Chicago market, expects that record to fall in the current quarter.

Last week, 470 sites and iconic landmarks in 55 countries around the world turned green for St Patrick's Day – all part of Tourism Ireland's Global Greening initiative and our extensive spring promotional campaign to boost travel to the island. This was our biggest Global Greening to date and a big thank you to our friends at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Irish Embassy network overseas for all their help and support. We estimate that the initiative generated positive publicity overseas worth well in excess of €10M in advertising terms at an important time for travel and holiday decision-making.
Our press release is here and a growing gallery of highlights here. And below is a little taster of some of the highlights.
New sites for 2019 included the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the world's tallest building), Victoria Falls, York's medieval City Walls, Lord's Cricket Pavilion in London, Nation Towers in Abu Dhabi, the Atakule Tower in Ankara and the Shizuoka Stadium ECOPA in Japan (where Ireland will play Japan in the Rugby World Cup in September).
They were joined by some 'old favourites' – including the Sydney Opera House, the London Eye, the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Wall of China, Niagara Falls and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.

BI & AnalyticsConversations
Vizzuality – Making Visualisations Accessible to All
Eileen McNulty · June 4, 2014
Eileen McNulty 2014-06-04
We met up with Miguel Arias, COO of Vizzuality at the Code_N contest in CeBIT, Hannover. Vizzuality, as the name might suggest, deal in visualisations, and using data to tell stories, gain insights and fuel decisions. We talked to Miguel about making data visualisation accessible for all, working with Twitter and Vizzuality's plans for the future.
Who are you and what does your company do?
I'm the COO of Vizzuality. We are a Spanish company based in Madrid and New York. What we do is we create nice visualisations of big data for companies. We help companies and people to understand what their data is telling them much more clearly.
How did you come up with this idea?
Over the last six years we were working with many big customers, helping them explore these visualisations. I realised that we could create a product to enable everyone and anyone – not just the big corporations – to work with their own data and tell stories with maps and make decisions based on data. We believe that we need to close the gap between the data scientist and the public. Our idea is that if you can use an Excel sheet, you should be able to draw your own maps.
What makes your idea unique?
Our product is really easy to use. Anybody with some geo-located data can upload the data to our platform. From there they can see a nice map visualisation of the data. They can play with it, change it, customise it in whatever way you wish. By doing that, the customer will be able to share these with the public, with their colleagues and tell nice stories.
What is your business model?
We have very elastic pricing; the more you use us, the more you pay. You start with a very small fee and the more you are successful with your data sharing, the more we get paid.
Are there any successful case studies that you'd like to talk about?
Yes. For example, a really nice case study is Twitter. They were one of our customers and they use us to tell stories almost every week. There are data journalists on Twitter; they're extracting data from Twitter, for example, to see how the world reacts to the a particular crisis. You can see in real-time how the Twittersphere exploded when a specific craze or event was happening.
Have you worked for Twitter yourself?
I have not worked for Twitter; I'm a former entrepreneur. I sold my former company a few years ago and I'm very happy to join this extremely talented team of entrepreneurs in Madrid. I'm not the founder of the company – the founders are from a different field and unique background, which is something very rare.
Can you tell me a little bit about your product?
Absolutely. We have a very easy-to-use user interface, and what we have been able to do with our geo-spacial database is to upload the data in any kind of format. We upload the data to our platform, we understand it, and we put in our own format. From there on, you can read everything very easily and visualise it on a map. We are base map-agnostic so to speak, so you could be using Google maps, Nokia maps, or any other kind of base map. We are a shift above these base maps. From there, you can really start to see how you want to present your information and you can drive analysis. We provide help and assistance if you are not technical with the analysis, but if you are very technical you can do any kind of predictive analysis on our platform.
Where do you see yourself in one year?
In one year, most of this is going to happen in the USA. We have other US customers, so our office there in New York, which is still small right now, it's going to grow a lot and we'll have many more customers and news coming from the US in the next year.
How did you get a client like Twitter?
That's an interesting story. We are beloved by the media because all of our maps have repercussions across the board. Our maps are in more than 20 top-shelf media, like the Boston Journal and the Guardian. People see that and want to understand how this was made. Who made the technology behind that? Because of that we get a lot of incoming leads from big corporations to see our work.
Any plans for Germany?
Germany is a very difficult market. It's hard making connections. I hope we can tap into the big IT companies in Germany. We're talking to other big corporations here like Continental as well.
Are you looking for any funding or any special talent to hire?
Yes. We are bootstrapped – a 20 people company is bootstrapped today, but right now we're looking for serious aid funding, mostly with American VCs. Somebody that's interested will be open to discuss that.
Any other thoughts you would like to share?
It's very exciting to work in a company like this one because right now, enabling people to understand their data more precisely, and their big data revolution will help everyone make better decisions. Everyone, from the politicians, to the key decision-makers of the companies, as well as everybody in their normal day-to-day lives. It's very fulfilling to be using data to make decisions.
Vizzuality take enjoyment in being a small and productive company that delivers great user experiences for stories that matter. They also created CartoDB, the simplest data import on the web, which allows you to create visualizations in seconds.

Q: Real Solutions for an Underdetermined Polynomial System In dealing with some quantum-chemistry issues I have to face the following problem:
*Find $N$ distinct real numbers in the interval $[0,1)$ such that:

*

*their average is $1/3$

*the average of their squares is $1/5$

*the average of their cubes is $1/7$
$\cdots$
M) the average of their $M$-th powers is $1/(2M + 1)$*
$\cdots$ for a total of $M$ conditions (with $M$ smaller than or equal to $N$).
In fact, this is a square polynomial system for $M = N$ and an underdetermined polynomial system for $M < N$. I know that the case of the square system can be reduced to finding the zeroes of a $M$-th degree polynomial using standard Girard-Newton formulae. However, direct numerical verification shows that for square systems with M > 3 one or more unknowns turn out to have complex (not real) solutions.
On the other hand, underdetermined systems can exhibit real solutions provided that $N$ is sufficiently larger than $M$. I verified this feature in the case ($M = 4, N = 5$) and also in the case ($M = 5, N = 7$).
So, my question is: in the general case of arbitrary M, how large must be N in order to ensure N real solutions? And... how can I numerically face the underdetermined problem?
Thank you in advance!


There has been a lot of buzz for a while now that the real life couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen together in Anurag Kashyap's next.
Apart from Gulab Jamun, Sanak, Lefty, Erase, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Sahir Ludhianvi are the other bunch of films in Bachchan's kitty. Earlier this year Abhishek was supposed to team up with Irrfan Khan for Ronnie Screwala's next but according to sources; the film has been put on hold for unrevealed reasons. It is also being said that the actor might not be a part of the film now as his dates have been blocked with other commitments.
As of now Abhishek along with wife Aishwarya and daughter Aradhya are on a monsoon break in New York.
