RBTH presents a selection of views from leading Russian media on international events, featuring reports on Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's meeting with his French counterpart Francois Hollande, Cristina Kirchner's visit to Moscow, and the effect the Ukrainian conflict has had on cooperation in the Arctic ahead of the meeting of the Arctic Council on April 24.
The daily tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets reviews Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's visit to France, where he held talks with his counterpart Francois Hollande. "We discussed the situation in the east of Ukraine and, specifically, the implementation of the Minsk agreements. Violations of the ceasefire regime and the presence of heavy weaponry are still being registered," said the French president. Poroshenko reiterated the words of his French counterpart by saying that the Minsk peace agreements are the only way to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, Hollande said that a vote on the association agreement between Ukraine and the EU will be held in the coming months. The French president expressed confidence that the agreement will be ratified. In his turn, Poroshenko spoke about the abolition of visas for Ukrainian citizens by the EU. He expects that the visa-free regime may be introduced as early as from January 1, 2016, writes Moskovsky Komsomolets.
Hollande once again returned to the issue of the delivery of the Mistral helicopter carriers, which he plans to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 24 in Yerevan, where the two leaders will participate in events commemorating the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, the newspaper reports. Delivery of the French-built carriers to Russia was suspended last year due to Moscow's role in the Ukrainian crisis.
However, the French president stressed that the delivery of the Mistrals to Russia is not possible in the current context; according to him, it is due not only to the fact that the Minsk Agreement has not yet been fully implemented, but also because France has no intention of supplying the Russian side with lethal weapons. At the same time, Hollande expressed an understanding that the money will have to be returned in the event of non-delivery, says Moskovsky Komsomolets.
Vedomosti runs an article ahead of the visit of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner to Moscow on April 23. The newspaper notes that bilateral relations between the two countries will reach a new level after an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership is signed at the Kremlin. The document will be augmented by agreements on military cooperation between the defense ministries, on environmental protection and combating illicit drug trafficking as well as memoranda of cooperation between the agriculture and industry ministries, the newspaper adds.
Argentina produces a wide range of scientific and technical as well as agricultural products and could meet many of Russia's needs, Moscow State University professor Vladimir Borodayev told Vedomosti.
Kirchner's visit to Moscow is taking place against the backdrop of deteriorating relations between both countries and the West, the newspaper writes. Kirchner has found in the Russian leader an ally in the confrontation with US hedge funds over restructuring Argentina's outstanding debt. In addition, in 2014 Kirchner supported Russia's takeover of Crimea, while Putin called for negotiations between Buenos Aires and London on the status of the Falkland Islands, writes Vedomosti.
The business daily Kommersant follows the work of the Arctic Council, telling its readers that the Ukrainian conflict has had an impact on cooperation in the polar region. The newspaper explains that due to political disagreements Canada has refused to sign a legally binding intergovernmental agreement with Russia to combat oil pollution in the Arctic. Because of Canada's position, the Russian delegation despatched to the Canadian town of Iqaluit for the meeting of the Arctic Council on April 24 is headed not by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, but by Natural Resources Minister Sergei Donskoi.
According to Kommersant, the application of the European Union for permanent observer status in the Arctic Council is expected to be considered at the meeting. This status gives non-regional states and associations an opportunity to at least indirectly influence decisions regarding the Arctic region, which is extremely promising in terms of hydrocarbon production and commercial shipping development, the newspaper writes.
The application was denied in 2013 due to the position of Ottawa, which was outraged by the European Commission's ban on imports of seal meat and fur – one of the main trades of the indigenous peoples of Canada, says Kommersant. Several months ago, Ottawa withdrew its objections, but it is now Russia that is ready to veto the EU application. "When the EU pursues a sanctions policy toward Russia, the context is not quite favorable for making such decisions," the representative of the Russian Federation in the Arctic Council, Vladimir Barbin, stated in an interview with the newspaper.

Family Health: Explorations for Schools and Communities — Phase I
Posted on November 30, 2015, updated on August 21, 2018
This project is a collaboration between the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) a public science and technology center and the Schools Wellness Program (SWP) both at the University of California at Berkeley. This model program will develop and disseminate hands-on activities and follow-up materials clustered around four major health science areas: nutrition and growth respiratory health disease prevention and mental health and the brain. Through a series of leadership training workshops the program will partner health-care professionals with teachers parents youth and community educators to form leadership teams for disseminating the "Family Health" materials. One motivational hook and introduction for the program will be a "Medical Mystery Festival" that draws children and adults through a series of engaging hands-on activities that simulate medical investigations. The festival will be accompanied by activities related to fitness and personal risk assessment that can easily be taught in community settings by parents and youth and by teachers in school classrooms. A second motivational component is LHS YouthALIVE! Theater in which secondary school students present skits featuring health issues of high interest to students and families. Participating schools will use the festival and skits as the kick off for a school-wide program of ongoing activities that teach children: Science principles related to health Decision-making skills that promote healthy choices Leadership skills that promote participation in healthy activities In year 1 the model will be pilot-tested in four schools that comprise an elementary middle school and high school feeder system in Oakland Calif. In years 2 and 3 the model and materials will be refined and extended to eight additional schools in Oakland and San Francisco. The Leadership Training Workshops will directly serve 60 teachers 60 parents and 60 health-care professionals who will be partnered in teams to lead and teach programs for their schools. Sixty secondary school students will be trained to present YouthALIVE! Theater programs in their neighborhood schools and to an estimated 15000 families participating in community events in the San Francisco Bay Region. The Medical Mystery Festival YouthALIVE! Theater and follow-up health curriculum will be presented to an estimated 9000 schoolchildren and their teachers. Information and sample activities for the "Family Health" model will be made available nationwide through an interactive web page and the TAPPED-IN virtual conference center at LHS.

A Picture A Day
A Book A Month
2000+ One-liners
Since its inception, this site has a changed a lot. Features have been added, and then removed. That's why you'll find links to pages that no longer exist. It's unfortunate, and in hindsight, it would have been much better to keep the now-obsolete content in some sort of archive, than to deleted them. I was young and stupid, and for that I'm sorry. Not so much for your sake, but rather for my own, to be honest.
The cast page is a good example. When this website was in its infancy, I used to maintain a page that contained a snippet of information about the people I frequently wrote about. Friends, acquaintances, and then-girlfriends. The page was removed a long, long time ago, but there are a lot of links to it scattered around. Instead of re-writing history, and having to fix every broken link, I made this page to let you know what you were supposed to be looking at.
I've tried to find the cast page in one of my many old backups, but I haven't managed to dig it up. The same goes for features like the gallery (but you'll still find a lot of pictures scattered around), parts of the features section, the moblog (sort of replaced by A Picture A Day), the text ads, the 10,000 days calculator, the guestbook (but please feel free to contact me), the mood-o-meter, and the webcam.
They once were, but they are no more.
Instead of getting stuck in this black hole, why don't you head to the front page, or the archives?

Healthcare workers and nursing home residents to be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccine
Do you support these groups getting the COVID-19 vaccine first?
By Josh Herman, Countable News
What's the story?
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted Tuesday to recommend that the first COVID-19 vaccines should go to healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities.
"Long term care facility residents are defined as adults who reside in facilities that provide a variety of services, including medical and personal care, to persons who are unable to live independently," the CDC said.
"Healthcare personnel are defined as paid and unpaid persons serving in healthcare settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure or infectious materials."
The recommendations now go to CDC Director Robert Redfield. If approved, they become official CDC recommendations on immunization in the United States and provide guidance to state officials.
The CDC estimates that 48 million doses will be needed to vaccinate these groups, which account for about 24 million people.

Communicating With Your HVAC Tech: Are You Fluent In His Language?
When it comes time to buy a new furnace, heat pump or air conditioner, it's helpful to prioritize communicating with your HVAC contractor. Understanding a few common heating and cooling concepts will help you select the best type of equipment for your home and budget.
Posted in Technicians | Comments Off on Communicating With Your HVAC Tech: Are You Fluent In His Language?
If you want to improve the air quality inside your home, lower your cooling and heating bills, and extend the life of your equipment, make it a point to check your HVAC filter monthly. The air filter is the first line of defense against premature wear and high conditioning bills. Dirty filters slow the passage of air through the air handler, making your whole system run longer.
Fall is well underway, and now's the perfect time to prepare your home for cooler weather that's on the way. Before winter arrives, take time to complete some preventive maintenance projects that will protect your home and keep you comfortable through the cooler weather.

Other films this year will have to try hard to match the explosive power and masterful direction of Denis Villeneuve's "Prisoners". His film sneaks up, messes with you head and leaves you breathless. Allow it. Yet on the surface, the plot sounds like an ordinary police procedural: Keller Dover's (Hugh Jackman) six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend. Cops investigate and a manhunt ensues. First evidence leads to a mute young guy (Paul Dano) who was driving the decaying RV that the girls played on earlier in the day. But there's nothing ordinary about the way screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski transforms this simple whodunit into a multilayered, unforgettable thriller. And there's nothing ordinary about the way Villeneuve merges all the elements into a movie of startling power and intimacy. Still, it's the people in the story who draw you in. Villeneuve couldn't ask for better actors to fill these tricky roles. Jackman, best known for his role in the X-Men series meets every challenge of a role that calls for subtlety and sureness. This may be his most potent two and a half hours onscreen. Do you want to see screen acting at its riskiest and most riveting? Watch Jackman (I predict an Oscar nomination for his terrific performance but that's another story). And Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead investigator is outstanding. And Maria Bello as Jackman's wife gives a blazing performance that goes from happiness to heartbreak in a matter of seconds. All the supporting actors excel. Melissa Leo doesn't have enough screen time but she's unforgettable, and Paul Dano will haunt your nightmares as Alex, the suspect the cops dismiss and Jackman comes to focus on. But it's the process that pins you to your seat, not just the whodunit itself. Villeneuve is a powerhouse filmmaker (see "Incendies" for more proof) who takes you up in ways you don't see coming. I'll say no more, except that "Prisoners" is a tense, absorbing thriller that hits your right between the eyes. And I loved every second of it. It's easily one of the best movies of the year.
Ouf I wanted to read your review before I go though I wasn't really reluctant as it looked like a good one! Now I'm definitely going, thanks Anis!
Let me know what you think once you see it!
Indeed, It's one of the best movies! 2 hours and a half of suspense and trying to understand what happened!
One of those movies that keep you on the edge of your seat! Marvelous!
The direction of the movie is brilliant.
I was most touched and captured by the story of Bob Taylor, its positioning in the plot was genius.


e, poor quality air can worsen allergies and lead to asthma attacks.. One of the most effective ways to keep your household air clean is to buy an air purifier. These units, which you can purchase from your air conditioning service in Gaithersburg, can help to ensure that your house remains comfortable for you and your family. Here is a quick guide to two of the best types of air purifiers that you can use in your home.
These state-of-the-art air purifiers don't just catch dust; they also use advanced germicidal technology to get rid of the allergens in your air. While other air filters may trap bacteria and mold, these air purifiers eliminate them. Infinity Air Purifiers are extremely effective, removing as much as 99% of the viruses, bacteria, and fungal spores from indoor air within a single day's time, along with removing dust and pollen. Infinity Air Purifiers are also fully compatible with Carrier brand fan coils and furnaces, so they're an excellent choice for any household.
These air purifiers also provide a very high level of protection against bacteria and viruses, removing up to 96% of them within 24 hours. Like Infinity Air Purifiers, Performance Air Purifiers operate quietly; you may not even notice that they are on. They are easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to place in a wide range of settings; they can even be installed directly inside your furnace system, alongside the fan coil. If you're looking for a cost-effective air purifier that you can use anywhere in your home, Performance Air Purifiers are a superb option.

Some 120,000 of the stateless Muslim minority have languished in camps in central Rakhine for six years since a bloody bout of intercommunal violence with ethnic Rakhine Buddhists.
Yangon: Fleeing Rohingya Muslims sold ration books to help pay hundreds of dollars to traffickers in order to flee squalid Myanmar camps by boat, only to be stopped at sea and forced back destitute, the refugees told AFP on Friday.
Images of hungry and thirsty refugees huddled on boats have stirred memories of a 2015 crisis, when thousands of fleeing Rohingya were stuck at sea as a trafficking trail south collapsed.
The end of the monsoon brings more favorable, if still treacherous, sailing conditions for those desperate to escape the camps that are branded as "open-air prisons" by rights groups and where the refugees have little access to work, education or healthcare.
One Rohingya boat this week made it to Aceh on the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra but several others have been picked up in Myanmar waters and those on board sent back to the camps.
Journalists are not allowed to enter the camps except on brief government-chaperoned tours, but one young Rohingya in Thechaung camp told AFP by phone how he had sold his food ration book to help pay the 600,000 kyats ($385) fee to traffickers.
He had hoped to reach Malaysia, but after 15 days at sea, his boat was seized south of Yangon and authorities sent him and his fellow detainees back to the camps.
"I need to get my ration book back," he said.
AFP has withheld his identity to protect him.
UN refugee agency spokeswoman Aoife McDonnell said many of the Rohingya had sold or lost all their possessions, including their shelters, to pay people smugglers.
They are in "acute need of support" now they are back in the camps, she said.
A leader in nearby Dapaing camp confirmed that some escapees had paid up to $700 for their places on the flimsy fishing boats, often in the hope of reaching Malaysia or Indonesia.
So far five boatloads are known to have set off from central Rakhine, including the group of 20 men who made it to Aceh.
The four other boats were picked up in Myanmar waters between November 16 and 29 and carried between them a further 356 people, who have since been sent back to the camps.
There have also been rumors of sightings of several other vessels.
But fears that the number could escalate to 2015 levels are for now overstated, said Chris Lewa from the Arakan Project.
The circumstances are "completely different" now, she said, pointing out that the boats are much smaller and the Bangladeshi authorities have also managed to prevent any mass departures from the camps there.
Rakhine State police chief Colonel Kyi Linn told AFP that six traffickers so far have been detained.
"These places are big and we can't control everywhere," he added.
The young Rohingya from Thechaung camp told AFP he was already thinking about how to escape again.

Purpose: This study sought to determine the 1-year clinical effectiveness and safety of a biodegradable, polymer-containing Biolimus A9™-eluting stent (BES) in Korean patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials and Methods: A total of 1000 ACS patients with 1251 lesions who underwent implantation of BESs at 22 centers in Korea were enrolled between May 2011 and July 2013. We assessed major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and clinical-driven target vessel revascularization at 12 months. Results: Patient mean age was 62.6±11.4 years. 72.8% of the patients were male, 28.5% had diabetes, 32.8% had multi-vessel disease (MVD), and 47.9% presented with acute MI (AMI). The mean global registry of acute coronary events risk score of all patients was 103.0±27.6. The number of stents per patient was 1.3±0.6. The incidences of MACE and definite stent thrombosis at 12 months were 3.9% and 0.2%, respectively. On multivariate Cox-regression analysis, age ≥65 years was identified as an independent predictors of 1-year MACE (hazard ratio=2.474; 95% confidence interval=1.202−5.091). Subgroup analyses revealed no significant differences in the incidence of MACE between patients with and without diabetes (4.3% vs. 3.7%, p=0.667), between those who presented with and without AMI (4.4% vs. 3.4%, p=0.403), and between those with and without MVD (4.6% vs. 3.5%, p=0.387). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated excellent 1-year clinical outcomes of BES implantation in patients at low-risk for ACS.

N2 - Purpose: This study sought to determine the 1-year clinical effectiveness and safety of a biodegradable, polymer-containing Biolimus A9™-eluting stent (BES) in Korean patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials and Methods: A total of 1000 ACS patients with 1251 lesions who underwent implantation of BESs at 22 centers in Korea were enrolled between May 2011 and July 2013. We assessed major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and clinical-driven target vessel revascularization at 12 months. Results: Patient mean age was 62.6±11.4 years. 72.8% of the patients were male, 28.5% had diabetes, 32.8% had multi-vessel disease (MVD), and 47.9% presented with acute MI (AMI). The mean global registry of acute coronary events risk score of all patients was 103.0±27.6. The number of stents per patient was 1.3±0.6. The incidences of MACE and definite stent thrombosis at 12 months were 3.9% and 0.2%, respectively. On multivariate Cox-regression analysis, age ≥65 years was identified as an independent predictors of 1-year MACE (hazard ratio=2.474; 95% confidence interval=1.202−5.091). Subgroup analyses revealed no significant differences in the incidence of MACE between patients with and without diabetes (4.3% vs. 3.7%, p=0.667), between those who presented with and without AMI (4.4% vs. 3.4%, p=0.403), and between those with and without MVD (4.6% vs. 3.5%, p=0.387). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated excellent 1-year clinical outcomes of BES implantation in patients at low-risk for ACS.

Bicyclists are wheeling their way along the Los Angeles River Sunday morning as part of the annual L.A. River Ride.
The 51-mile ride goes from the Autry in Griffith Park to Marina Green Park in Long Beach but you don't have to bike the entire way. Cyclists can choose one of seven different distances that offer plenty of stops with food and music.
Tamika Butler, executive director for the L.A. County Bicycle Coalition, the organization that hosts the annual fundraiser, says they want to see all 51 miles of the L.A. River connect in a way that includes every communities along its banks.
"The L.A. River goes through South East LA on its way to Long Beach. It's going through places like Cudahy, like Bell and Bell Gardens, and all of those southeast cities. There are folks there, they're highly industrial, but if you go to a lot of those factories, there are tons of bikes parked outside. So for us it's really thinking about all riders," she tells KPCC.
On Saturday, a half-mile stretch of the L.A. River trail opened in Studio City, closing one of the many gaps that prevent residents from walk or bicycling the riverside path.
The L.A. County Bicycle Coalition also hosts bike rides the first Sunday of every month.

Q: Push Button with Voltage Rating (AC) : 125V, Only having power supply of 3.5 or 5V I have 3 buttons (R13-81 PUSH SWITCH) for a school project. In the specifications, it is written that they take Voltage Rating (AC) : 125V (Source)
Problem is I only have 3.3V or 5V as power supplies. Will it still work ? I don't understand if it takes between 0 and 125V or if it has to take 125V every time. Also, the output needs to be 3.3V maximum... What should I do ?

A: The voltage rating on switches is the maximum voltage that the switch can safely handle.  Likewise, the current rating of a switch is the maximum current the switch can safely handle.
Your switches are fine for use with 3 or 5 volts.

A: In general, the voltage rating of "passive" components like switches and connectors is their max rating, and lower voltages may be used with no difficulty.  (In this case the rating is basically for the insulation within the switch, and the distances between bare metal components at different voltages.  Staying within the rating assures that the insulation will not "break down" due to voltage stress and that arcing between parts of the switch will not occur.)
There are two separate concerns, however, unrelated to the voltage rating.  First off, one must keep the current through the switch below its max current rating.  Your switch has a half-amp rating, so you need to keep current below that level.  Most uses for signal and control applications don't exceed a few milliamps, but if you are, say, powering a motor you could see higher currents.
Secondly, arcing.  When the switch "breaks" (turns off) and the contacts in it pull apart, it's possible for there to be an arc formed between the contacts, causing them to briefly heat up and be damaged, and, in rare cases, causing the current to continue even when the switch is supposedly off.  This is mainly a problem with "inductive" loads -- relays, solenoids, motors, etc.  If you are switching such loads you need to study up a bit on how to deal with this situation.

A: Your question is wisely asked. In general, an AC-rated switch should be derated for DC use. AC ratings are usually higher than the DC rating, if available, for the exact same switch. There's a reason for that.
AC has zeroes, twice per AC cycle. A manually opened (or closed) switch happens "randomly," relative to the AC cycle. Any "arcing" drawn out as the metal contacts open up will soon be extinguished because the AC cycle will hit one of those zeros.
DC doesn't have any zeros. So there is no inherent self-extinguishing process and therefore they may have to cope with more prolonged arcing when operating at the same voltage.
In your case, the DC voltage is so low and is also so much lower than the AC switch rating, that there is almost certainly no problem using it. I wouldn't worry at all. But it was still wise to ask. (There is also the problem of current compliance, but you've not mentioned it. I'm assuming from the context of your question that we aren't talking about large currents.)
P.S. A manual switch is just a bit of mechanical components arranged to make it easy for a human to operate, and includes metal conductive contacts that are placed into direct contact with each other when the switch is engaged. The metal contacts are just physical bits of metal and do not have to have a specific voltage in order to work. They will make contact, regardless, because the mechanical design for operation is independent of the voltage it is switching.

A: SPST off-(on) .5A @ 125VAC
Plating undefined ( possibly silver micro-plated over nickel over beryllium copper)
Usually these are derated for DC to about 1/4 of the AC rating due to inductive load arc needs to be extinguished rather than zero crossing current of AC.
All relays are however gold plated upto 2A to permit low current circuits to conduct without oxidation risk (high) However when switch supplies, there is often a low ESR filter cap and thus a surge current. THis can be a bad thing or a good thing. If the cap is too big, and very low ESR, it can pit the silver oxide and raise the resistance from 50 mOhms to much higher value.
But a little "wetting " current usually 10% of rating is all you need to burn thru oxidation insulation on silver plating.
So depending on your surge current on contact, 0.5A should be OK but contact will wearout some material with a low ESR cap of 1 Ohm giving V/1Ohm= 5A.  Ceramic and plastic caps have even lower ESR and gives higher peak currents.  So beware Low ESR caps are good for noise reduction but bad for switch load surge currents and contact wear.  In well designed system, it could last for  50k cycles. If really well designed, even more and much less if poorly design surge current is applied on contact.
So designer beware.

Q: Unsure why this takes two clicks to work I'm unsure why this script I found takes two clicks to work.?
I have an anchor within a div that, when clicked is supposed, to animated the parent div down, yet it seems to take two clicks on that link to work. It's most likely a silly problem but I don't write code I'm just a designer.
Thank you
var clicked = false

$('.anchor').click(function () {
    if (clicked == true) {
        $(".div").animate({ top: '0px' }, 600);
        clicked = false;
    } else {
        $(".div").animate({ top: '-90px' }, 600);
        clicked = true;
    }
});

The HTML:

      some stuff in here

The div class is the header at the top of the page which is off canvas, which then slides down when the anchor is clicked.

A: Add clicked = true; to your js at the first line in the click function
From your code:
var clicked = false

$('.anchor').click(function () {
    clicked = true;
    if (clicked == true) {
        $(".div").animate({
            top: '0px'
        }, 600);

        clicked = false;
    } else {
        $(".div").animate({
            top: '-90vh'
        }, 600);
        clicked = true;
    }

});

Because .click() only fires when .anchor is clicked.
It took two clicks before because,at first click it executed else block which set clicked=true;. So in the second click, clicked is true, so it executed the if block.

A: FIDDLE
Your default state is the same as that of the first animation's result. Hence you have to click twice. Change your default state:
var clicked = true;

A: Where is the $('.anchor').click(function(){ .. function places?
Is it inside the function called? if yes, move it outside the called function.
Else, you can use bind a click event or use jQuery live events.

A: I can see two issues in your code:
1.) Your forgot the semicolon at the beginning of your script
var clicked = false ; is missing
2.) You are targeting .anchor, bur in your html your target has no class like this, just a href, you need:
click
And like cbayram said, you should change var clicked = false; to var clicked = true;

The prevalence of the surname, its cognates, and equivalents bears witness to the fact that this was one of the chief specialist trades in the Middle Ages throughout Europe. In America, the English name has absorbed some cases of like-sounding cognates and words with similar meaning in other European languages, for example Dutch Kuiper .2 Jewish (Ashkenazic): Americanized form of Kupfer and Kupper ( see Kuper ).3 Dutch: occupational name for a buyer or merchant, Middle Dutch coper.

14 mile oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico investigated by the Coast Guard
by Joseph September 7, 2021, 1:00 am 1.7k Views
The US Coast Guard is responding to a 14-mile oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that was discovered in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, officials said Saturday. According to Bloomberg. Sam Jones, chief of the Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's office, said the spill, which consists of 4 miles of black sheen and 10 miles of rainbow sheen, is in federal waters off Port Fortune, Louisiana.
"That's big," Jones said in an interview on Saturday. "It's the biggest one out there."
In a statement, the Coast Guard said it believed the crude came from a pipeline owned by Houston-based oil and gas exploration company Talos Energy, adding that the agency is in the initial stages of an investigation. In response, Talos said that while leading in response to the leak, it denied responsibility, saying the leak came from an unknown source in an area where it halted production in 2017.
"Extensive field observations indicate that Talos' assets are not the source," the company said in a statement. "Talos will continue to work closely with the US Coast Guard and other state and federal agencies to identify the source of the release and coordinate a successful response."
Talos said it has deployed two 95-foot response ships to conduct oil extraction operations at the site, as well as an additional ship and divers to help identify the source.
The "big" spill wasn't the only one: Jones said his agency received 265 reports of spills and other Ida-related incidents, including 32 that appeared serious. Among them were two underwater pipelines, apparently transporting gas, and a gas well that had exploded at Three Bayou Bay in Jefferson Parish. Jones said the agency is investigating who owns those assets.
Meanwhile, several crude oil launches have been reported in the Gulf of Mexico, including one near an offshore drilling rig in the Gulf, according to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. The agency reported more than 100 spills and other toxic releases as Ida's environmental impact on a petrochemical corridor filled with dangerous chemical plants and refineries began to emerge.
"The kind of accident we see can be prevented and should not be allowed to happen." said Naomi Yoder, a scientist at Healthy Gulf, a New Orleans-based environmental group that reported several spills to authorities in the wake of Ida. "Is it something we will be able to fix or is it something that will be a very long-term process?"
Yoder said Hurricane Ivan in 2004 caused an underwater oil spill that is still leaking.

Many are open 7 days a week and some late into the evening.
How Can The Pharmacy Help Me?
The pharmacy is an accessible health resource for you and your family. Everyone can get advice from a pharmacist and buy medication for a minor ailment or illness.
Many pharmacies are open when you GP surgery is shut (evenings, weekends and on public holidays). You don't even need to make an appointment to speak to a pharmacist.
If you normally pay for your prescriptions, then the standard prescription fee will be charged. However in many cases the medicines supplied will be cheaper to buy over the counter. The pharmacy will advise you of this.


In case you are new to gambling or wish to boost your odds of winning additional money regularly then you should pick a suitable gambling system with care. This type of system is usually created by gambling specialists http://cassinni.com as well as expert mathematicians and you simply could benefit from their expertise and experience in their relevant areas.
Whether you like to go to on line gambling casinos and gamble on online poker, video poker, craps, roulette, blackjack, or perhaps like to indulge yourself in online sports gambling you are sure to find various kinds of betting systems which promise to boost your own chances of winning more money with higher consistency. These types of betting systems are generally programs which contain complex mathematical algorithms which take on many elements into consideration before displaying options which promise to have a better possibility of winning. If you are a novice bettor then there are actually chances that you might have neglected a few factors before putting your bet. These kinds of systems can certainly ensure that you consider each and every essential aspect of the actual bet before putting up your money.
If you'd prefer wagering upon sporting activities then you definitely could have realized that it's indeed very difficult to stay one stage in front of your sportsbook. You will need to think about the odds of the bet, the present as well as past form of each player as well as the team in addition to the training method applied by the coach as well. This might not be feasible ahead of each bet and thus a gambling system could end up being beneficial. You will have to input some data before each bet as needed by the program and then allow the program to compute the best possible way to wager which could either result in greater winnings or even hedge your losses in case the bet does not turn out towards you.
While many online companies offer these kinds of systems for free, others provide a free trial version for a limited period of time before you need to shell out the actual decided fee to purchase this program. You can try out any referenced free gambling system to check if you find a noticable difference within the outcomes before you take a look at the premium programs. You will need to continue using a particular system for a amount of time until both you and the system become comfortable with one another. However, you need to avoid spending money on betting systems which promise you unbelievable results since no single system has been proven to dramatically enhance likelihood of success.
You will also have to download certain systems with regard to specific online games or even sports. Hence, a gambling system appropriate for horse racing will never generate good enough results with regard to car racing and vice versa. You should also stay with a system even if it provides a marginal boost in your earnings because if it has succeeded in stopping your losses considerably whilst boosting your wins to some extent then that ought to be sufficient evidence that the system is indeed ideal for your style of gambling.
Gambling is dependent mainly on luck however in case of betting on certain online games as well as sports activities you do require an effective gambling strategy to boost your own chances of winning additional money and that too at frequent intervals. You should certainly choose a suitable betting system with great care and stick to it if you notice your own bank balance inching up wards.

Christmas classics may vastly out-number Hanukkah hits, but there's been no shortage of Jewish artists that have topped the Billboard charts over the years. With Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, beginning on the evening of Wednesday, November 27, now is the perfect time to celebrate the Jewish musicians who have made the biggest impact on the Hot 100 over the decades. We've gathered the Tribe's biggest Billboard stars on our top 30 countdown.
The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 since the chart launched in August 1958. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Prior to the Hot 100's implementation in 1991 of enhanced radio and sales information from Nielsen BDS and Nielsen SoundScan, songs had shorter reigns at No. 1 and shorter chart lives. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from the past 55 years, earlier time frames were each weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those decades and the turnover rates that have occurred since the advent of Nielsen Music data.
The French DJ, whose Moroccan father is Jewish, helped EDM make a mainstream crossover with hit productions such as the Black Eyed Peas' 2009 track "I Gotta Feeling" and his own smash "Turn Me On, " which features Nicki Minaj.
Kravitz, whose dad is Jewish and mom is Christian, fired up a vintage rock sound that earned multiplatinum status on albums such as 1993's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and 1998's "Five."
Percussionist Roberto Rodriguez and his septet bring the influences of Havana, Harlem and the Catskills together in alchemy of Cuban sounds and klezmer. Special Guest: Irving Fields, creator of recently re-released Jewish-Latino fusion record, Bagels and Bongos.

Sarah Hyland's Nightmare: Cousin's Alleged Killer's Mugshot & Criminal Past Revealed
Source: MEGA; GoFundMe
By:Melissa Roberto
Dec. 4 2018, Updated 9:59 a.m. ET
Sarah Hyland's worst nightmare came true over the weekend when her 14-year-old cousin was killed by an alleged drunk driver. Now, RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the suspected killer's mugshot, along with sordid details of his criminal past involving multiple DUI charges.
Jeffrey Eggeling, 36, of Bennington, Nebraska was arrested and charged with two counts of DUI serious bodily injury and one count of leaving the scene of a personal injury collision. The victim was the Modern Family actress's teenage cousin, Trevor Canaday. Trevor's dad – Hyland's uncle – was also transported to a nearby hospital with life threatening injuries.
Radar obtained Eggeling's shocking mugshot, shown below, where the Nebraska resident appears with a smirk on his face.
According to the Omaha Police Department's arrest report obtained by Radar, Eggeling collided with a car driven by Hyland's little cousin at 5:35 pm. on Sunday. The suspected drunk driver then "left the scene of the collision on foot" and was located "a short distance" nearby, documents stated.
According to the police report, Eggeling had "the odor of alcoholic beverage about his person as well as slurred speech."
Cops on the scene reported that the alleged drunk driver failed a breathalyzer test by blowing a .103 blood alcohol content, above the .08 legal limit.
Radar also uncovered sordid details from Eggeling's past. The alleged drunk driver was arrested in Omaha in April 2016 after "showing signs of alcohol impairment," according to a police complaint.
READ THE SHOCKING POLICE REPORTS
During the 2016 bust, Eggeling's vehicle was spotted "weaving" and "sped off from the red light to speeds near 60 mph in a 35 zone," a police complaint explained. Eggeling blew a .136 blood alcohol level. He was charged with careless driving and DUI.
Another Omaha police report obtained by Radar from 2003 showed that Eggeling was charged with another DUI, along with improper turn and possession of drug paraphernalia. The 2003 arrest occurred after police observed Eggeling's vehicle "swerving in its own lane."
Officers conducted a field sobriety test, where Eggeling allegedly showed "signs of impairment" including "slurred speech and the smell of alcohol from the suspect," the report explained. Officers also found Eggeling in possession of a "drug pipe."
Hours following Sunday's horrific crash, Hyland, 28, took to social media and provided a link to a GoFundMe page set up in her cousin's honor.
The Modern Family star slammed Eggeling, stating that she hopes he "spends the rest of his life in prison."
What do you think of Eggeling's shocking mugshot and criminal past? Sound off in the comments.

Tood McFarlane's Spawn Set to Make History in 2019!
Todd McFarlane's SPAWN character sets the stage for a historic celebration as it breaks the record for the longest-running creator-owned comic in the world! To mark this momentous occasion, McFarlane has gathered a team of superstars from the comic industry to contribute to this giant sized 72-page book.
The big news for SPAWN #300 is that award-winning artist, Greg Capullo (Batman), returns to illustrate SPAWN. Capullo first brought his talents to Image Comics' longest running title, with issue #16, leading to a visually-stunning run as the book's featured artist, culminating in the hallmark 100th issue.
Following his seminal work on DC Comics' iconic Batman, Capullo will be the main featured interior artist on SPAWN #300, alongside another major revelation for the first time since 1995, Todd McFarlane, one of the top-selling artists in comic book history, will return to pencil and ink interior artwork of the character he created during his high school days! "I created SPAWN back when I was a teenager hoping to someday break into the comic book industry," said Todd McFarlane, SPAWN creator, and Image President.
"Now, over 40 years later, not only was I able to have a career drawing and writing comics, but SPAWN has been by my side for most of that journey. Even more exciting, SPAWN is becoming the longest running creator-owned comic in the world!
"The group of creative folks helping out on this historic SPAWN 300th issue is something that I hope thrills the inner 15-year-old in all of us. Plus, to have Greg Capullo come back to this title after so many long years, is what has me most excited as I personally consider him to be the top talent drawing in our industry today," said McFarlane.
The superstar creative team doesn't end with Capullo and McFarlane. Current SPAWN artist, Jason Shawn Alexander, fan-favorite J. Scott Campbell (Danger Girl, Spider-Man), rising star Jerome Opena (Uncanny X-Force, Seven to Eternity) and best-selling writer Scott Snyder (Batman, Metal, Wytches), all bring their talents aboard to help usher in SPAWN's next grand evolution.
"The birth of Image Comics in 1992 was an exciting time, but there are few moments I remember more vividly than getting my hands on the first issue of SPAWN," said Eric Stephenson, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. "Todd was already a comics superstar at that point, but SPAWN vibrated with an energy all its own and I think everybody knew it was destined not only to be a hit but to stand the test of time. The fact that we're approaching issue 300 nearly 30 years later is a testament to its impact not just on Image, but the industry as a whole. Go, Todd!"
SPAWN #300, a 72-page full-color comic book, celebrating 27 years, and counting, of the hit independent series with an all-star lineup of comics creators, will be in stores August 29, 2019. The title will feature 12 covers by McFarlane, Capullo, Campbell, Opena, and Alexander, including gorgeous black and white "Artist Edition" variants showcasing the original, inked artwork of both Capullo and McFarlane. This historic, oversized issue will retail for $7.99.

The victims of the explosion in the suburb of the Syrian al-Baba steel 45 people
February 24, 2017 RR World
The soldiers of the Syrian free army
In the suburbs of the Syrian city of al-Bab on Friday, February 24, a car bomb exploded. As reports Al Jazeera, citing sources in the medical community, the victims of the attack were 45 people, injured dozens.
A suicide bomber attacked a checkpoint under the control of fighters of the Syrian free army — representatives of the armed opposition. According to TV channel, among the dead and wounded many civilians.
The day before, on 23 February, Reuters reported that units of the Syrian opposition with the support of the Turkish Armed forces managed to capture almost the entire territory of El-Baba, which is the last stronghold of the terrorists of the "Islamic state" (IG; banned in Russia) in the Northern province of Aleppo.
One of the soldiers, the Sultan Murad (Sultan Murad), said in a telephone interview that the city remained only the militants-suicide bombers who are hiding in dug under the El-Bab tunnels. "The whole town is undermined," he added.
The battle for al-Bab, located northeast of Aleppo and about 30 kilometers from the border with Turkey, was conducted from December 2016. The attack was attended by units of the opposition free Syrian army with the support of the Turkish military.

Inside the All-New, Totally Old Tosca Cafe, From April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman
By Jay Barmann
Welcome back. Photo: Andrei Riskin
What happens when you take a century-old landmark bar — the kind of place that takes center stage in the annals of a neighborhood, a place where Allen Ginsberg once got kicked out for not wearing shoes, where Hunter S. Thompson broke an ankle jumping off the bar, and where Tim Burton sketched the storyboards for Edward Scissorhands on bar napkins — and try to update it for a modern, food-blog-reading audience? San Francisco is about to find out as its beloved Tosca Cafe reopens to the public tonight at the hands of New York food-world MVPs Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield.
Things were looking iffy for the future of Tosca last year, and the local press was going apoplectic. It was regular patron Sean Penn who stepped in to rescue the place. He saw longtime owner Jeannette Etheredge — the wizened, bon vivant fixture at the end of the bar — in an ongoing struggle with the landlord over back rent, and brought in a friend from New York who'd been looking to expand westward: Friedman, who in turn brought along Bloomfield, his longtime business partner. (Penn also invested in the redo, as did tech billionaire Ron Conway.)
In January, they sealed the deal, and now, ten months later, the kitchen build-out and "respectful" remodel are ready for their debut. The original bar, barstools, murals, weathered linoleum tile floor, and patina'd walls and ceiling remain, with just a bit of polish, and that's going to be a comfort to all of Tosca's ardent fans. But as Friedman tells Grub Street, the team heard a lot of proposals that would have taken them in a more laborious direction. "We had one company that was talking about photographing the floor, piece by piece, and re-creating the exact look of it with screen-printing and digital transfer, and finally I was just like, 'Why don't we just keep the damn floor?'" They also kept the red, rounded booths in back as well as all the original tables and chairs that look like mid-century flea-market finds, just resurfacing and re-covering them with real wood and leather.

The piece that required the most work was the kitchen, which remains in the same place where it sat dark for the last 50-odd years, but with brand-new equipment, a walk-in where Etheredge's longtime office used to be, and a big opening on to the dining room. There, Bloomfield has been honing a rustic Italian menu (for this historically Italian neighborhood) with chef de cuisine Josh Even. It includes plenty of antipasti like roasted treviso, baby octopus, salumi, and crispy pig tails, as well as a couple of pastas (versions of amatriciana and cacio e pepe), a garlicky mussel soup, and three main entrées: a short rib, a roast chicken for two, and a roast trout.

The thing you really want, though, is the meatballs, currently an off-menu item that Bloomfield says took two months to perfect. "You know how meatballs are usually these boring, bland little things?" she asks. "We wanted to really punch up the flavor, so we added guanciale. I love guanciale."
The crux of the project, though, will be the injection of cool, and bustle, to this storied, old-school-hip space. Driving it will be Friedman's mastery of the art of creating a scene — a skill that comes full circle from an earlier master of the S.F. scene, Jeremiah Tower. At Wednesday night's soft opening he was canny enough to have young local chefs like Thomas McNaughton and Brandon Jew rubbing shoulders with Joe Montana, Mayor Ed Lee, and former mayor Willie Brown, all while Etheredge worked the room and held court with a cigarette on the sidewalk. (Etheredge is also featured, gesturing with a smoke, on some new coasters.)

As for Bloomfield, she spent three months living in the Bay Area and working in the kitchen at Chez Panisse before opening the Spotted Pig in 2004, and now she's back, with an apartment in North Beach where she'll be living part-time. She relied on some of her friends here when it came to finding producers and learning the ropes, including Chris Cosentino, Traci Des Jardins, and Michael Tusk. "I absolutely love San Francisco," she says. "I'm so glad to be back." But given the current Indian summer heat wave the city's been having during the hectic preopening weeks, after she spent most of the sweltering summer in New York, she adds, "I'm ready for the snow." But it's unclear how much of New York winter she'll even see, since she and Friedman now both say they're committed to being in S.F. for a good piece of the next year or more.
