Alert Notice 456: Monitoring of V854 Cen Requested
April 4, 2012: Bram Ochsendorf (Leiden Observatory, Netherlands) has requested monitoring by AAVSO observers of the R CrB variable V854 Cen in support of observations to be made using the XSHOOTER instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory's La Silla Paranal Observatory in Chile. Ochsendorf and colleagues have already observed V854 Cen at maximum and now need to observe it during a fading episode.
From now through August 2012, please keep a close eye on V854 Cen, which is visual magnitude ~7.2 at maximum, and report your observations to the AAVSO. Nightly observations (V band preferred, visual and other bands welcome) are requested, with more frequent coverage if the star begins to decline. If V854 Cen fades to or goes below visual magnitude 8.0, please report your observations immediately.
According to observations in the AAVSO International Database, V854 Cen is currently at visual magnitude 7.2.
Ochsendorf and Dr. A.G.G.M. Tielens write: "As part of our studies on the the role of molecules in space, we are studying the molecular inventory and the formation and evolution of these molecules in their birth sites, such as the R CrB stars...
"Over the last 20 years, we have learned that we live in a molecular Universe, a Universe where molecules are an important component of the interstellar medium and where molecular processes play an important role in shaping the Universe around us. The most complex molecules are formed in stellar ejecta by processes akin to those in terrestrial sooting environments. R Coronae Borealis stars are C-rich, late type giants which are losing mass by ejecting small, directional puffs of smoke and gas. When one of these puffs is directed along the sight-line, the star is occulted by the dust forming in the ejecta as the gas cools. As more and more dust is formed, the intense, direct light from the central star is blocked more effectively. Eventually, these cloudlets will disperse and mix into the expanding dust and gas shell. The stellar light curve is therefore characterized by deep declines towards minimum which occur irregularly whenever one of these smoke puffs happens to be in our sightline. The visual light curve shows drops by ~8 magnitudes and a typical timescale for a decline and a rise is about 4-6 months.
"The R CrB star V854 Cen is a prototypical example of this class of objects. Its ejecta are a rich source of interstellar molecules, and species such as the dicarbon radical (C2), the fullerene C60, and large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon molecules have been observed in the spectra of this star. The smoke puffs along the line of sight act as occulting screens, blocking out the blinding starlight, and allowing us to probe in detail the molecules in the immediate surroundings of the star. Our goal is to probe the characteristics of these molecules in the cold molecular ejecta surrounding this object."

Renovated homes are getting smarter. Forty-five percent of renovators installed a smart device during the renovation process last year. The upshot: the architect and design communities are taking notice – and learning to warm to the trend.
These callouts, from surveys done by the home design and remodeling services search platform Houzz, were a couple of the eye-opening revelations provided during CE Week in New York City June 20 and 21. They were offered during a Connected Design-hosted panel at the show that addressed trends influencing home renovations – including the incorporation of smart devices into renovation planning.
The panel was moderated by Lee A. Rotenberg, founder, Ivy.co, a design workflow solutions software innovator whose company was acquired earlier this year by Houzz. Participants included Anastasia Harrison, architect and interior designer as well as owner and founding partner of And Design LLC; Melissa Andresko, communications director of lighting control system manufacturer Lutron; and Stuart Narofsky, architect and principal, Narofsky Architecture.

Q: How to detect if PDF has compressed xref table in Java? Is there an API available in iText library to detect whether the PDF file has compressed xref table?
PDFReader class of this library has some useful API with regards to xref, but none serve my purpose.
The requirement is to:

*

*Check if the PDF has xref compressed table.

*If 1 is true -> then "Uncompress" xref table.

*Send the byte stream for further processing.

*Once the processing completes "Compress" back the xref table to its original form

Any pointers in this regard would be appreciated.
P.S.: The implementation is not restricted to iText. Any other Java library which can achieve it can be used. Licencing (if required) is also not an issue.

A: As it turns out, this is already supported in iText.
You need to create a PdfReader instance and then use isNewXrefType().
To uncompress the XRef table of a PDF document, you can use this method:
public void uncompressXRef(String src, String dest)
    throws IOException, DocumentException {
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
    PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest));
    stamper.close();
    reader.close();
}

To recompress the XRef table, use this method:
public void recompressXRef(String src, String dest)
    throws IOException, DocumentException {
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
    PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest));
    stamper.getWriter().setFullCompression();
    stamper.close();
    reader.close();
}

A: Your best bet might be to look at what else you want to do with the PDF and then use that library.

Being Queer, Conversion Therapy, Education, LGBT rights
Ban Conversion Therapy Project to become sponsored by KY Youth Law Project
The Kentucky Youth Law Project, Inc. has agreed to become the fiscal sponsor of Ban Conversion Therapy Kentucky as of June 1, 2019. A fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which a 501(c)(3) public charity, like KYLP, sponsors a project that may lack exempt status. This arrangement will allow BCTK to take advantage of KYLP's tax exempt status to seek grants and raise funds for its work in seeking to prevent licensed mental health providers from using the abusive practice of sexual orientation change efforts, or "SOCE," known more commonly as "conversion therapy" or "reparative therapy." Under a Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement signed by KYLP Legal Director, Keith D. Elston, and BCTK Executive Director, Tanner Mobley, BCTK will become a project of the Kentucky Youth Law Project, Inc. in order for KYLP to administer donor gifts, grant awards, and oversee the activities of BCTK to ensure compliance with federal and state laws regarding political activities by a charitable organization.
"This joint agreement between our two organizations unites us in an important aspect of the work of the Kentucky Youth Law Project," KYLP Legal Director, Keith D. Elston said. KYLP was one of the original signatories on the The National Center for Lesbian Rights' Born Perfect: The Campaign to End Conversion Therapy by passing laws across the country to protect LGBT children and young people, fighting in courtrooms to ensure their safety, and raising awareness about the serious harms caused by these dangerous practices.
"Having KYLP as our fiscal sponsor is a crucial step in raising awareness on the dangers of so-called 'conversion therapy'," said BCTK Executive Director Tanner A. Mobley, "and will make it possible for us ban these dangerous and discredited practices in once and for all." BCTK works closely with The Trevor Project's "50 Bills, 50 States" Campaign to protect LGBTQ youth from these discredited and abusive practices across the United States.
The mission of the Kentucky Youth Law Project, Inc. is to enhance and protect the legal rights and entitlements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming youth through no-fee legal representation, education, and public policy advocacy. Because up to 40% of all youth who experience homelessness self-identify as LGBTQI+, the organization's goal is to reduce homelessness and promote equal treatment for LGBTQI+ youth in social welfare agencies, government services, the courts, and public schools throughout Kentucky.
Ban Conversion Therapy Kentucky is a loose affiliation of individuals and organizations who desire to advocate for public policy and legislation that forbids the use of so-called "conversion therapy" practices to youth under age 18.

A Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book
Winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction
When eleven-year-old Langston's father moves them from their home in Alabama to Chicago's Bronzeville district, it feels like he's giving up everything he loves.
It's 1946. Langston's mother has just died, and now they're leaving the rest of his family and friends. He misses everything— Grandma's Sunday suppers, the red dirt roads, and the magnolia trees his mother loved.
In the city, they live in a small apartment surrounded by noise and chaos. It doesn't feel like a new start, or a better life. At home he's lonely, his father always busy at work; at school he's bullied for being a country boy.
But Langston's new home has one fantastic thing. Unlike the whites-only library in Alabama, the Chicago Public Library welcomes everyone. There, hiding out after school, Langston discovers another Langston—a poet whom he learns inspired his mother enough to name her only son after him.
Lesa Cline-Ransome, author of the Coretta Scott King Honor picture book Before She Was Harriet, has crafted a lyrical debut novel about one boy's experiences during the Great Migration. Includes an author's note about the historical context and her research.
Don't miss the companion novel, Leaving Lymon, which centers on one of Langston's classmates and explores grief, resilience, and the circumstances that can drive a boy to become a bully— and offer a chance at redemption.

Mike Shecket Goes To China!
I do believe I spoke Chinese in a dream last night. I was back in the US, but I just happened to be in a school with a lot of Chinese students, and I heard one of them talking about me, calling me "laowai", and so I looked at him and said "dui". Which of course doesn't make any sense, but it's a dream. The next step, I guess, would be to have a dream where I read hanzi.
For a number of years, I've daydreamed about the idea of getting a small tattoo, and thought about what I could put on my body that I would really, really be sure to still like and believe in 50 or 60 years down the line. One idea I've had is to get little flags representing the countries I've visited…even if some countries cease to exist, I'd have a record that I visited them when they did exist.
Anyway, the last few days, I've come up with a new idea. A lot of Western folks get tattoos of Chinese characters, not really knowing what the heck they mean, or trusting someone else who doesn't really know or care what they mean. Fortunately for me, I've actually learned a bit of the language and writing system.
So…my idea is to get a tattoo with a local slang phrase. I've found the correct hanzi for one of them: "太尖啊", pronounced "tài jiān a", which literally means "too sharp" in Mandarin, but which in Guiyang dialect means "very clever". The "a" part of it is sort of like Canadians' "eh?".
Tattoos are not a popular part of Chinese culture…in fact, when I mentioned my idea to some of my students, they told me things like "tattoos give you cancer" and "you know they hurt a lot, right?" One student, an NBA fan (like most of them, at least the boys) told me that he thinks Allen Iverson has a tattoo "addiction".
If I can learn just a few new words a week, I'll be able to pick up hundreds, if not several thousand, while I'm here!
Okay, so I met this woman (and later her husband and his friend and the friend's student) randomly on a bus to downtown Guiyang.
They helped me open a bank account, which was quite an arcane process that would otherwise have had no English assistance.
They helped me buy a SIM card for my cell phone.
When the phone didn't work, they trotted me all over town looking for a place that would unlock my phone for me.
They helped me find a place to buy some DVDs.
They helped me catch a cab.
They rode in the cab with me to make sure I got back okay.
They paid for the cab ride!
Oh. My. Goodness. These people are friendly. I'm really beside myself. And they kept saying they were lucky to meet me! I owe them BIG TIME.
I'm excited to do some language exchange with the middle school English teacher, and I hope I get to meet the married couple's two year old daughter.
These take you from New York to the skies over Nunavut and Siberia and finally to Beijing!
This is primarily how I've been learning Chinese.

Q: How to exclude ".gz" files in logrotate I am using logrotate version 3.12.3. How do I tell logrotate to exclude files that are already rotated/compressed?
For example, if I am rotating all files in /var/log as
"/var/log/*" {
   compress
   missingok
   dateext
   rotate 4
   size=5000k
}

after a file is compressed, how do I tell logrotate to not rotate already rotated/compressed files? For example:
/var/log/file1

after logrotation it becomes
/var/log/file1.20211212.gz

I tried
tabooext + .gz

on top of definitions but it doesn't seem to take effect.
From man logrotate

include file_or_directory
Reads the file given as an argument as if it was included inline where the include directive appears. If a directory is given,
  most of  the  files  in  that
  directory  are  read in alphabetic order before processing of the including file continues. The only files which are ignored are
  files which are not regular
            files (such as directories and named pipes) and files whose names end with one of the taboo extensions, as specified by the
  tabooext directive.

If something like below worked, that would have been good.
/var/log/*[!".gz"] {
}

Thank you.
EDIT
Maybe do something like
/var/log/*[!.][!g][!z] {
..
}

but it skips file named /var/log/test1gz. How do I match the . character with globbing?

A: Try to find all glob possibilities that does not accept *.gz. As you have three letters (., g, z), there are 2^3 = 8 possible combinations (3 characters, 2 states x and !x), minus one which is *.gz.
The seven other possibilities are the following:

*

*All files that don't have an extension point as third last but end with gz (e.g. filegz)
/var/log/*[!.]gz

*All files which 2-letters extension doesn't begin by g but ends by z (e.g. file.7z)
/var/log/*.[!g]z

*All files which 2-letters extension begins by g but doesn't end by z (e.g. file.gg)
/var/log/*.g[!z]

*All files that don't end with .gz but end with a z (e.g. file.ezz)
/var/log/*[!.][!g]z

*All files that don't end with .gz but with g as second to last letter (e.g. file.cgi)
/var/log/*[!.]g[!z]

*All files which 2-letters extension is not gz (e.g. file.hh)
/var/log/*.[!g][!z]

*Finally, all files that don't finish by .gz (e.g. file.txt)
/var/log/*[!.][!g][!z]

So this gives us:
/var/log/*[!.]gz
/var/log/*.[!g]z
/var/log/*.g[!z]
/var/log/*[!.][!g]z
/var/log/*[!.]g[!z]
/var/log/*.[!g][!z]
/var/log/*[!.][!g][!z]
{
  ...

The combinations can be generated with python:
import itertools as it

suffix = '.gz'
states = ([x, '![%c]' % x] for x in suffix)
for res in it.product(*states):
    print ''.join(res)

Hope it helps!

A: You don't need to specify a complete folder. You can define a file aswell. So first you should make sub folders for every service that you have a better overview. There you can place your logs into. You shouldn't put that on your complete log folder because there are some more rotate scripts located.
for example:
/var/log/yum.log {
    missingok
    notifempty
    size 30k
    yearly
    create 0600 root root
}

The apparent backward motion of a planet when it appears, as observed from Earth, to reverse its natural direction of travel and move backward in the zodiac.
astrology-numerology.com
When a planet reverses its usual direction of travel (west to east) for a few weeks. When the planet is traveling in the reverse direction (east to west) it is said to be retrograding. After a few weeks the planet reverses again and resumes its normal course.
cerritos.edu
Westward or backward drift of a planet resulting from the forward motion of the earth as it passes the planet.
maa.mhn.de
Orbital or spin motion in the opposite direction from prograde motion; in the solar system, retrograde motions are clockwise as seen from above what we call the North Pole of the Earth.
earthguide.ucsd.edu
Motion which is backwards relative to the usual direction. Usually, an apparent westward, or backward, motion of a planet among the stars, caused by its lapping, or being lapped by, another planet.
cseligman.com
for orbital motion in the solar system, motion that is clockwise in the orbit as seen from the north pole of the ecliptic; for an object observed on the celestial sphere, motion that is from east to west, resulting from the relative motion of the object and the Earth. (See direct motion.)
astronomy.gi
The normal direction of a planets motion as we see it from Earth is West to East against the background of the stars. Occasionally, however, the planets outside the Earth's orbit can be seen, over a number of nights, to slow, eventually to stop and then to reverse direction (i.e. East to West against the background) for a time! They will then appear to slow again, stop and resume their original direction. This caused real problems for the geocentric theory, and Plotemy's attempts to explain the observed motion led to the theory becoming very complex. The correct reason for this motion was first realised by Copernicus in his heliocentric theory, but it was not until Kepler produced his work that it was conclusively understood. The correct theory is that as Earth's orbital velocity is greater than the planets outside it, so it will slowly catch up and overtake these planets. The effect of this as viewed from Earth is that their velocity across the sky will slow down as Earth closes in to 'overtake' it, as Earth is passing their path will seem to reverse for a short time and once passed the path will revert to its original course.
thespacesite.com
Motion in a direction opposite to what is usual (in the solar system clockwise motion as viewed from above the sun's north pole is considered retrogate).
wro.org
backward (westward) motion of the planet among the stars, resulting from the fact that it is viewed from the moving Earth. It is the motion that a planet has when its right ascension is decreasing. Each year, when Earth passes a superior planet, such as Mars, the planet appears to move backward for a short time. It is the same effect you see when two trains are running in the same direction on side by side tracks. The slower train appears to be moving backward.
quest.arc.nasa.gov
When a planet appears to be moving backwards ("in reverse gear") in the zodiac (as opposed to direct motion). See also Retrograde Zone Info.
www2.bitstream.net
when a solar system object (e.g., a planet) moves ``backward'' (westward) with respect to its normal eastward drift against the stars. It happens when the Earth is closest to the object.
astronomynotes.com
Backward, westward loop traced out by a planet with respect to the fixed stars.
astronomy.nju.edu.cn
An apparent westward motion of a planet on the celestial sphere or with respect to the stars.
twcac.org
Reversal in direction of a planet's apparent motion against the stellar background.
digiboat.com.au
A planet moving from east to west in celestial longitude is moving retrograde or looping.
docweather.com
Every so often, each planet ceases its normal forward movement around the zodiac (called "direct motion") and appears to move backwards ("retrograde motion") for a time. This occurs whenever the Earth passes up the other planet as they both orbit the Sun, similar to how a slower car appears to move backwards when you pass it at higher speed on the highway. After a time, the planet stops this reverse motion and resumes its normal, direct motion, again.
souledout.org
If we were above the solar system in the direction of the North pole. All the planets would revolve around the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. This is called direct motion. The opposite, anti-clockwise motion, is called retrograde. The planets which rotate on their axes in a retrograde direction are Venus, Uranus and Pluto. Moons mainly revolve directly about their planets, the main exception is Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.
star.le.ac.uk
describes an orbit about the Sun which is the opposite of the direction of the orbits of the planets. Halley's Comet is a retrograde comet.
utah.edu
the apparent backward (west to east) motion of planets against the background of the stars that results from the difference in orbital speed and distance of the planets
mwcs.neric.org
The apparent westward motion of a celestial body with respect to the stars. Retrograde motion is a perspective effect produced when an inner body passes an outer body in their respective orbits.
members.aol.com
This is a phenomena where a planet appears to move West-to-East against the field of stars instead of the normal East-to-West direction. This occurs when the orbit of the Earth overtakes the orbit of the observed planet.
starsandscopes.net
The temporary backwards or westward motion of a superior planet against the background of the stars that results when the faster-moving Earth on on it's shorter orbit passes that of the the superior planet.
starrynight.com
The phenomenon where a celestial body appears to slow down, stop, them move in the opposite direction. This motion is caused when the Earth overtakes the body in its orbit.
iceinspace.com.au
When a planet seems to slow down, stop, and move backwards from east to west for a short time. Mercury and Venus exhibit retrograde motion.
go-astronomy.com
Apparent backward motion of a planet. This is an illusion caused by the relative motion of the Earth and other planets in their elliptical orbits.
psychic-website.com
Normally, a planet's motion through the sky is from west to east (direct motion). However, at such times where either the Earth overtakes an outer planet, or is overtaken by an inner planet, the planet will temporarily stop moving west - east and start going in the other direction, i.e. from east to west. This effect is known as retrograde motion. It should be noted that this does not mean that the planet in question is actually moving around the Sun in the opposite direction, it is just a result of the Earth's motion. The superior planets all exhibit retrograde motion around the time of opposition, so it is easy to observe; the inferior planets, however, do it around the time of inferior conjunction, and so it is difficult, or should I say impossible, to observe.
sandyloan.f2s.com
The temporary apparent backward motion of a planet in the sky, from east to west, caused by the geometry between the Earth and planet. Due to this geometry, only planets that orbit outside the orbit of the Earth are observed to have retrograde motion.
stardate.org
The apparent backward motion of a planet when it appears, as observed from Earth, to reverse its travel direction relative to the zodiac.
energyhealer.us
The apparent backward (westward) motion of planets as seen against the background of stars.
planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov
When a body moves around the Sun in the opposite direction to Earth.
solarspace.co.uk
The planets generally move from west to east in the sky. Occasionally, one of the planets seems to slow down, stop, and loop backwards, moving from east to west for a short time. After a short time, all the reverse happens and all is back to normal. The planet did NOT stop or move backwards in its orbit; for a while, the Earth was moving faster than than the planet, overtaking the planet for a short time, making it seem to lag.

The technologically-plagued Australian bank, NAB, has finally restored Internet banking services after having been down for much of the working day.
NAB, or the National Australia Bank, has finally restored its Internet banking service after having been down for much of the day.
Reports say that the service first went down at approximately 9.40am, with a stream of Twitter updates apologising for the delay in restoring service.
Well, NAB - perhaps having a bullet-proof system with instantly available backups should bullet-proofness fail would be a great way to 'help with anything' the next time your service decides to have an outage that lasts nearly a full business day (nearly 8 hours).
After all, what's the point of having an Internet banking service if you can't connect to it? We're not living in Egypt where the Internet is unavailable, or China where the Internet is filtered to within an inch of its life (as it soon could be in Australia if Senator Conroy gets his way).
NAB - if you want to be more than a little word for 'meh' - it's time to up your game, or your customers will vote with their feet, wallets and mouse-clicking fingers to find another bank!

New Obama Adviser Compares Republicans To A 'Cult Worthy Of Jonestown' — And Then Apologizes
John Podesta, who last week was named as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, apologized Wednesday morning after being quoted as comparing House Republicans to cult followers of Jim Jones.
In an interview earlier this fall — part of which was published in a lengthy Politico Magazine profile — Podesta said that Obama and his advisers should look to work around Congress for the rest of his second term. He suggested that Congress was uncooperative — and then compared the House to members of the cult that committed mass suicide in 1978.
"They should focus on executive action, given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress," Podesta said.
House Speaker John Boehner's office quickly ripped the comments.
"For those who've forgotten, a Democratic member of Congress was murdered in Jonestown and a current one, Rep. Jackie Speier, was shot five times during the same incident," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said in a statement.
"If this is the attitude of the new White House, it's hard to see how the president gets anything done again."
Later Wednesday morning, Podesta apologized on Twitter:
In an old interview, my snark got in front of my judgment. I apologize to Speaker Boehner, whom I have always respected.
— John Podesta (@johnpodesta) December 18, 2013
This is not the first time a White House aide has been criticized for a colorful metaphor about House Republicans. In October, in the midst of the last debt-ceiling fight, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer compared Republicans to terrorists, arsonists, and kidnappers.
"What we're not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest," Pfeiffer said then on CNN.

Michigan's Supreme Court has ruled that the fate of a $1-billion Windsor-Detroit bridge will be decided by a statewide vote in the November election.
The Board of State Canvassers in Michigan had decided last week a petition assembled by Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun's company calling for voter approval before any new international bridge can be constructed in Michigan should not be included on the ballot.
But the state's top court overturned that decision in a ruling Wednesday afternoon.
"Today's decision is a victory for the more than 600,000 voters who signed our petition and for all Michiganders who want a say in how public money is spent on international crossings," said Mickey Blashfield, a spokesman for the bridge company who helped lead the petition effort.
The final major hurdle before construction can begin on the proposed Detroit River International Crossing bridge is political approval in Michigan. Snyder has been pushing to get the downriver bridge built, going so far as to sign an agreement in June with Canada's Transportation Minister Denis Lebel.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to Windsor when the documents were signed and proclaimed the bridge was the nation's top infrastructure priority and promised it will get built.
The Canadian government under the agreement would lend cash-strapped Michigan up to $550 million for its share of the project – expected to top $2 billion in total once feeder roads and plazas are built in Detroit.
But Moroun has fought hard to stop the project fearing it will put a major dent in his annual $60-million in toll revenues at the Ambassador Bridge, plus millions more generated in duty-free sales of gas and goods.
His latest tactic was his company's petition drive to get the issue on the statewide ballot for the Nov. 6 election.
It's imperative voters do their homework on the proposal because "it may have enormous consequences," Ken Silfven, a spokesman for Snyder, said Wednesday.
"In addition to jeopardizing Michigan's economic future by trying to derail the (DRIC bridge), the special-interest backers of this initiative have worded it so poorly that it appears to require a statewide vote for any new (road) bridge in Michigan," he said.
A lobby group in Lansing backing construction of the DRIC bridge and helping lead the legal fight to keep the bridge petition off the ballot remained confident Wednesday voters will defeat the attempt by Moroun to stop the DRIC bridge, even though he has won the right to get the issue on the ballot.
"While the court has ruled that it's not illegal for Matty Moroun to try to protect his monopoly in the constitution, that still doesn't make it good public policy," said spokesman Tom Shields.
Michigan needs the DRIC bridge, which will provide up to 10,000 construction jobs and protect 230,000 other jobs across the state related to goods crossing the Windsor-Detroit border, he said.
It is for that reason Shields believes voters will see through Moroun's ongoing advertising blitz which some have criticized as being loaded with falsehoods and misleading information in his efforts to sway voters.
"We hope to educate enough people about the scheme he is trying to pull here," Shields said. "He leaves no stone unturned. It's the most outrageous thing I've ever seen.
Local MP Brian Masse (NDP — Windsor West) said he was disappointed to learn of the court's decision, but said emotions need to be put aside.
"We need to quickly get a process in place to deal with the reality of this situation," he said. "A lot is at risk here in both Canada and U.S. in the coming months. We need to make sure we have the resources on this to counter the millions that's going to be spent by Moroun.


Negus, D. and Taylor, P. W. (2014). Accelerated Storage Stability Testing of a Potential Anti-Anthrax Therapeutic, EnvD. Bio-protocol 4(21): e1281. DOI: 10.21769/BioProtoc.1281.
The purpose of stability testing is to determine how the properties of a particular therapeutic vary with time under the influence of specific environmental factors. Information regarding the long-term stability of therapeutics can be extrapolated by performing an accelerated storage stability study. Here, we describe an accelerated storage stability study for the potential anti-anthrax therapeutic, EnvD, a poly-γ-D-glutamic acid (PDGA) depolymerase. Storage conditions were based on those recommended by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Owing to the high-molecular-weight and associated viscosity of PDGA in solution, loss of enzyme activity on storage can be determined as a reduction in the capacity of the depolymerase to reduce the viscosity of the polymer. This work supported by a Medical Research Council Capacity Building Studentship award.
Aliquots of freshly isolated EnvD (35 µg total protein) were adjusted to a final volume of 50 µl with sterile PBS in 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes and sealed with Parafilm.
Microcentrifuge tubes were maintained at 37 °C over a period of 30 days to simulate long-term storage. The temperature of the incubator was periodically checked to ensure it did not fluctuate by more than ± 2 °C.
Samples of EnvD were periodically (0 days, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days) removed from the incubator and rapidly combined with 400 µg of lyophilised PDGA substrate suspended in 1 ml of PBS.
Reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 h at 37 °C in a static incubator and were terminated by heating at 95 °C for 10 min. Samples were stored at -20 °C before viscometeric analysis.
Viscosity of PDGA following incubation with stored enzyme preparations was determined using an Anton Paar falling ball microviscometer. Frozen samples were thawed at room temperature and transferred to a glass viscometry capillary containing a solid steel ball using a 5 ml syringe and filling adapter.
Viscosity was determined as the time taken for the ball to fall 25 cm through the sample at an angle of 15° to the horizontal; each automated, timed determination was performed four times.
After each reading the capillary was cleaned with distilled water followed by 70% ethanol. The capillary was then dried with compressed air.
Figure 1. Stability of rEnvD during accelerated storage at elevated temperature. Samples of rEnvD were maintained at 37 °C for 30 d. At the time points indicated, aliquots were combined with PDGA (400 μg/ml), incubated for 1 h at 37 °C and the rune time determined. Ball run time (s) was measured in an Anton-Paar AMVn viscometer; the time taken for the ball to fall 25 cm at an angle of 15° to the horizontal was determined. Error bars represent ± 1 SD (n=8).

City of Bunbury > How Did IGet Here
Thursday, 19 December 2019
How Did I Get Here?, the first capsule exhibition of works from Art Gallery of WA's (AGWA) State Art Collection opens on Friday 17 January, 6pm at the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery as part of the Freighting Ideas State-wide initiative.
Inspired by the 1980 Talking Heads song Once in a Lifetime, the first touring exhibition from Art Gallery of WA for 20 years, How Did I Get Here? brings together 12 photographic and video works interwoven with various complementary pieces from City of Bunbury art collection.
Part of a new WA regional touring program called Freighting Ideas by ART ON THE MOVE and the Art Gallery of WA, the project involves the local community in developing arts activities and participating in broader conversations around art, alongside touring capsules of works from AGWA.
Funded by the State Government's Regional Exhibition Touring Boost, How Did I Get Here? is the first of two capsule exhibition travelling the State under the new pilot program.
How Did I Get Here? invites audiences to explore how each work came to be – the setting, the line between artist intent and how the subject presents. Each artist takes a unique and personal perspective – sometimes photo reportage sometimes imaginative fiction ¬– drawing from real life to speak about the challenges of coming of age, cultural beliefs, race and religion, and our social selves.
It features works by leading contemporary photographers in the State Art Collection: Tony Albert (QLD), Michael Cook (WA), Petrina Hicks (NSW), David Rosetzky (VIC), Graham Miller (WA), Toni Wilkinson (WA), and Anne Zahalka (NSW).
BRAG Director Joanne Baitz said it was a real coup for the gallery to secure such an exhibition.
"We are delighted that AGWA has chosen to bring this exciting and eclectic collection of works to BRAG," Dr Baitz said.
"Including pieces from the City's Art Collection makes it all the more special and I encourage everyone to take a look when the exhibition opens in 2020."
Exhibition On Show
Bunbury Regional Art Gallery

Amazon's payments may not be a savior for BQX streetcar plan
December 19, 2018 By Raanan Geberer Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Photos courtesy of the Friends of the Brooklyn Queens Connector
From the moment that Amazon announced that it would be opening a new headquarters in Long Island City, supporters of Mayor Bill de Blasio's stalled Brooklyn-Queens Connector (BQX) project have hoped that money raised from the development would help close the hole in the streetcar's budget.
Friends of the BQX, a support group setup to promote the light rail line, issued an immediate press release saying that Amazon's arrival meant that it was time to "fast-track" the project, according to Gothamist.
Supporters placed their hopes in an infrastructure fund that Amazon has agreed to set up. Not to be outdone, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz demanded that Jeff Bezos himself pay for the streetcar, Gothamist reported.
However, Gothamist said the numbers still don't add up. The infrastructure fund would take up half of the PILOTS (payments in lieu of taxes) raised from Amazon.
The amount of PILOT money that could be pumped into the infrastructure fund would likely be between $200 million and $300 million. However, the estimated price tag for the BQX is about $2.7 billion, Gothamist said.
Furthermore, Amazon's Queens campus isn't projected to be totally ready and occupied until about 2024, and streetcar contractors will not want to wait that long for payment.

Amazon could arrange a "bridge loan" that would permit the contractors to be paid on time. Of course, this would have to contain language protecting the City- and Amazon: final payments to contractors/vendors not made until work is accepted by the City's inspectors- and proven to be in good working order under actual service conditions.
Nomcebo Manzini December 20, 2018
Umm. Or, Bob, the city and state could come to their senses and realize that NY ain't Wisconsin…. When you buy jobs that will mostly bring out-of-towners to our city to make it even more unaffordable and clogged, the voters are likely to punish – not reward – you!
In other words, start playing hard-ball – you don't have to rip up a contract to send Amazon the message that somebody in "contracts" – maybe, even an honest someone – seriously miscalculated just how much of a win this deal was for Amazon and just how bad a deal it was for everybody else.
Not exactly great "optics" when the largest Housing Project in the country is close enough to your helipad to maybe send a few folks each day to protest.
Both Andy and Bill show no sign of retiring, although each of them combines ineptness, unlikability and nowhere-to-go-politically. Bill clearly has less savvy and less backbone, so look for him to grandstand about what "Amazon has to do for ALL the citizens of NY!" (Somebody who exercised his mind as much as he does his body might have thought of that BEFORE the press conference announcing "WE WON AMAZON!")
Robert Diamond December 20, 2018
Well, at least the Deputy Mayor did the right thing and announced her "retirement" yesterday. We can only hope that "clarifying" the Amazon deal wont be as daunting as the abortive 11th hour renegotiation of BREXIT…

November 19, 2014 2014 season, Football, Matt Porter.
CORAL GABLES — Clive Walford arrived at UM from Glades Central High with a lot more experience on the basketball court than football field. Five years later, he's become one of the best in the country at his craft.
Monday, he was named one of eight semifinalists for the Mackey Award, given to the nation's top tight end. It's more proof that Walford made the right choice to return to school instead of enter the NFL draft.
He did say this season validated his draft decision. After his game-high 127 receiving yards on four catches Saturday in a 30-26 loss to third-ranked Florida State, he leads ACC tight ends in yards (522), receptions (33) and touchdowns (seven). No doubt the 16 NFL scouts credentialed for Saturday's game watched Walford, 6-foot-4 and 263 pounds, outrun FSU's linebackers and secondary on his 61-yard touchdown reception.
"I think you guys know there were times in the last couple years he would have been caught on that play," Golden said. "That speaks to his strength and endurance, his lower body strength to be able to rep that out over 50 yards against those guys. He's blocking hard. He's unselfish.
Walford's leadership has also been important, especially in the tight end meeting room. After the game, he said he spoke to sophomore Stan Dobard "for about 10 minutes" to help him get over his fumble in the third quarter, which FSU turned into a field goal to make it a 23-20 game. He's been keeping Dobard focused this season by reminding him how important he will be next season, once Walford leaves. "I tell him, you're building your resume every game out here," Walford said.
The only Hurricane to win the Mackey Award was Kellen Winslow (2003).
Also named a Mackey Award semifinalist: FSU's Nick O'Leary, from Dwyer High.


Anchorage is a unified residence rule municipality in the south central portion of the United States, Alaska. It is the 64th-largest city and northernmost major city in the United States. It is Alaska's biggest city and constitutes more than 40 % of the state's total population.

You will be content to hear that winters in Anchorage are milder than Chicago mainly because the city sits on the ocean and through summer, interior temperatures typically hits 80 degrees and mainly because of Anchorage's geographical location, summer days are extremely long and winter daylight hours are incredibly quick.
Bottom line, the ideal parts of Alaska are completely absolutely free!
As you can see, most luxury properties in gated golf course communities show a selection of unique craftsmanship you can not uncover in other places. The architectural design and style of the custom estates is a straightforward evidence of a person's continual try and drive to show inspired art. The purpose is constantly to blend creativity with passion and function such as the vast interior spaces with balustrades and grand entries. If you go to the rich and popular villas, you can watch with awe the flowing floor plans, retreating glass walls, and the ergonomic gourmet kitchen. All have been custom constructed to be trendy but functional. Correct luxury properties are always a function of passion, desire, way of life, and personality. Practically all spaces have been created to satisfy and uplift the pride and satisfaction of the folks living in luxury homes.
Acquiring a dwelling in Anchorage is effortless. There is a lot of inventory. Anchorage and Fairbanks give a diverse housing inventory ranging from condos to luxury homes, and it is surprisingly inexpensive. If you are seeking for a house in Anchorage, expect to pay around $265,000 for a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom dwelling, or $185,000 for a 1,500-square-foot condo. If you happen to be prepared to commute outdoors of Anchorage, $300,000 will likely obtain a three,000-square-foot dwelling on an acre or additional of land providing a lot of solitude. If you happen to be looking for a spot in the million-dollar range, you happen to be on track to come across your dream residence including lots of acreage, outstanding views and additional than ample square footage. The same value in other metropolitan cities would barely get you a two,000-square-foot, three-bedroom house.

The strength and detail of the luxury residences reflect the character of the people and of course, in some sense, the other residents living in the same community, particularly if it is an exclusive nation club actual estate. In Florida, you can see a lot of houses with a waterfront or oceanfront view. This is sort of fascinating for the couples or people wanting to live a comfortable strain free life. We can't discount the truth that the magnificent rotunda, landscape, or front elevation of the homes for sale there delivers an aura of elegance and a spirit of pride widespread among the exclusive members of the nation club genuine estate. For instance, a cozy spacious living space with a built-in corner fireplace and fountain at the center with sliding glass doors make you really feel vital and effective with a sophisticated taste.

Home USA Women In The News California Legislature Approves Steep Penalties for Reckless Driving
California Legislature Approves Steep Penalties for Reckless Driving
External Writer
Wed September 1, 2010
By Sean Burke and Patrick Alach, Paparazzi Reform Initiative
Today marks the 13th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana who tragically died in a car crash in France while being chased by paparazzi on motorcycles. An official inquest by the English government in 2008 placed partial responsibility for her killing on the "grossly negligent driving" of those pursuing her. Outrage at her death prompted promises from those in Europe and the U.S. to reign in the out-of-control paparazzi. While Europe has successfully put in place laws to restrict the intrusiveness of the paparazzi, the same cannot be said for the U.S., a place where the paparazzi are noticeably more numerous and aggressive than ever before. However, a new measure passed today by the California Assembly may make the streets in that state safer.
Sean Burke, Founder of The PAPARAZZI Reform Initiative, with California Assembly Speaker Emeritus Karen Bass at her office in Sacramento(LMS permission granted).
"More and more the paparazzi have been out on the streets angling for the same photographs in what has become feverish competition. Paparazzi in cars chasing celebrities and ignoring traffic laws have placed not only celebrities and their children in harms way, but they also put bystanders in danger as well," stated Sean Burke, Founder and CEO of the Paparazzi Reform Initiative (www.paparazzi-reform.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to bolstering privacy rights. "This new legislation we've supported imposes jail terms for paparazzi driving recklessly in the pursuit of a photograph. Their incarceration time can increase to a year if a child was put at risk during the car chase. We feel this new law will improve public safety in general and hopefully prevent anyone else from getting hurt."
As the United States grapples with creating efficacious privacy laws, Europe has implemented a highly successful and sensible regime to protect personal privacy and curb the invasive paparazzi. It is now common to find the faces of celebrity children obscured in photographs printed in the European press. Celebrities Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Sienna Miller have all been awarded restraining orders against the paparazzi in London. "European law reflects the understanding that privacy rights can attach to the subject matter of certain activities in which any person engages, even if in a public place, and even if the conduct is exposed to the view of passersby," said Patrick Alach, a California Attorney and partner at Longo & Alach LLP whose law review article Paparazzi and Privacy helped shape anti-paparazzi legislation in California in 2009. "The result is that even famous persons can engage in personal activities in public, such as walking on the beach or dining out, without intrusions or disruptions by swarms of photographers. Ultimately, the European approach respects personal space and personal dignity, and is a sensible guidepost towards which American law can develop," said Mr. Alach.
"Our goal is to put in place privacy laws that not only affect those that find themselves in the spotlight, but will benefit everyone. Europe is ahead of us in this area, but the passage of the legislation by the California Senate today is a good step forward," Mr. Burke said.
The PAPARAZZI Reform Initiative (www.paparazzi-reform.org) was founded in February, 2009, and is a California non-profit corporation dedicated to improving privacy rights. It is the only organization of its kind in the world directly working to mitigate the dangerous and invasive conduct of the aggressive paparazzi.
Sean Burke is the Founder and CEO of the Paparazzi Reform Initiative. Throughout his many years of working as a security professional in Hollywood, Mr. Burke personally witnessed the paparazzi harassment and abuse of his clients and other celebrities. Seeing paparazzi conduct become increasingly dangerous, he established the PRI in an effort to educate the public on paparazzi aggression, lobby for stronger privacy laws, and effect reform that restores order to the streets and the right to privacy, not only for those in the spotlight, but for everyone. Mr. Burke has worked closely with former California Speaker of the Assembly, Karen Bass, in support of her anti-paparazzi legislation that became law in January 1, 2010, and that passed today in the California Assembly. Recognized as the leading voice in opposition to the paparazzi and a strong proponent of stronger privacy laws, Mr. Burke has been quoted in Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and other news organizations.
Patrick Alach – legal counsel for the PRI. Mr. Alach's widely distributed work "Paparazzi and Privacy" was published by Loyola Law School's Entertainment Law Review and was one of the key works used to help form the legal framework for the anti-paparazzi legislation that was signed into law by California Governor Schwarzenegger in October of 2009. The amended law and Mr. Alach's involvement in shaping it were widely documented in the Wall Street Journal, Sacramento Bee and a host of other prominent news and online publications.

Literature Reviews and Syntheses
Environmental Benefits of Conservation on Cropland: The Status of Our Knowledge, 2006. A synthesis of the literature to determine what is known and not known about the environmental benefits of applying conservation practices to cropland. The Agricultural Research Service, assisted by the Soil and Water Conservation Society led the review.
Fish & Wildlife Benefits of Farm Bill Conservation Programs 2000-2005 Update, October 2005. Farm Bill conservation programs are producing numerous and substantial conservation benefits. Benefits accrue directly from practices targeted towards fish and wildlife as well as through indirect benefits such as reductions in sediments in streams and establishment of habitat through practices not specifically targeting wildlife. Many benefits to wildlife have been documented, especially those associated with the Conservation Reserve Program. Many other benefits are suspected, but have not been documented.
Fish and Wildlife Response to Farm Bill Conservation Practices, September 2007. This volume addresses conservation practices that can be used to provide fish and wildlife benefits through the Farm Bill. It does not specifically focus on investigations of actual Farm Bill-funded projects but rather summarizes investigations that have addressed various benefits or impacts to fish and wildlife resources associated with the primary practices utilized for fish and wildlife objectives within Farm Bill programs.
Both documents were published by The Wildlife Society in cooperation with USDA's National Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Service Agency. Hard copies are available for purchase from The Wildlife Society or by contacting Charles Rewa.
Grazing Lands
Conservation Benefits of Rangeland Practices: Assessment, Recommendations, and Knowledge Gaps, October 2011. The rangeland literature synthesis provides an unprecedented source of evidence-based information to guide the development and assessment of management practices and conservation programs on the nation's rangelands. It assesses the effectiveness of seven NRCS-recommended rangeland conservation practices: Prescribed Grazing, Prescribed Fire, Brush Management, Range Planting, Riparian Management Practices, Wildlife Management Practices, and Invasive Plant Management. Also assessed were two cross-cutting issues: A landscape approach to rangeland conservation, and a social and economic assessment of rangeland conservation practices.
Conservation Outcomes from Pastureland and Hayland Practices: Assessment, Recommendations, and Knowledge Gaps, December 2012. The pastureland and hayland literature synthesis provides an unprecedented source of evidence-based information to guide the development and assessment of management practices and conservation programs on the nation's pastureland and hayland. It assesses the effectiveness of four NRCS-recommended rangeland conservation practices: Forage and Biomass Planting, Prescribed Grazing on Pasturelands, Forage Harvest Management, and Nutrient Management on Pastures and Haylands. Also assessed were two cross-cutting issues: A landscape approach to rangeland conservation, and a social and economic assessment of rangeland conservation practices.
Conservation of Wetlands in Agricultural Landscapes of the United States, April 2011. The ten papers in the supplement document the scientific literature summarizing the effects of conservation practices and programs on agricultural wetlands in seven geographic regions of the United States: Piedmont-Coastal Plain, Mississippi Alluvial Valley, the High Plains, Prairie Pothole Region, Glaciated Interior Plains, California's Central Valley, and the Appalachian Region. The full synthesis was published as a supplemental issue of the journal Ecological Applications. A standalone summary (PDF, 2.5 MB) is also available.
NIFA CEAP Watershed Syntheses Study, July 2012. As part of the CEAP Watershed Assessment Studies, USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and NRCS jointly funded 13 projects to evaluate the effects of cropland and pastureland conservation practices on spatial and temporal trends in water quality at the watershed scale. In some projects, participants also investigated social and economic factors that influence implementation and maintenance of practices.
A synthesis project designed to discover common themes among the 13 studies was led by North Carolina State University (NCSU) in conjunction with five other institutions and organizations. Dr. Deanna Osmond, NCSU, is principal investigator for the synthesis study. The lessons learned from this synthesis strengthen the knowledge base for evaluating the impacts of conservation practices on water quality, improving management of agricultural landscapes for improved water resource outcomes, and informing conservation policy. Publications, reports and findings from each project were synthesized as part of the study along with other relevant literature. A book published by the Soil and Water Conservation Society, How to Build Better Agricultural Conservation Programs to Protect Water Quality, details key findings of the Synthesis, discusses each Watershed Study individually, and lists key publications from each project. Summaries and a series of fact sheets of key findings are also available for download.
