As part of the SFRME Biophysical Oceanography Program, this project is examining the structure and composition of ichthyoplankton assemblages in waters off Western Australia. Larvae are sampled using replicated oblique bongo net tows at three stations (18m, 40m, 100m depth) every month, and five stations (18m, 40m, 100m, 300m, 1000m) every quarter. The samples from the 355µm mesh nets are sorted to remove all larval fish which are then identified to family and species, where possible. Larval assemblages have been characterised, inter-seasonal and inter-annual trends identified, and related to dominant oceanographic and ecological processes. Samples from 18 months of cruises have been examined thus far, and larvae from 70 teleost families and approximately 160 species have been identified. Assemblages appear distinct between seasons at the inshore station (18m), and the two offshore stations (300m and 1000m), but the shelf stations (40m and 100m) show considerable variation throughout the year. Larval densities show peaks inshore in summer, and mid-shelf in autumn, and are possibly related to variation in strength of the Leeuwin and Capes Current, or climatic events. Additionally, preliminary correlations have been made with larval fish density and fluorescence peaks, and with the depth of the mixed layer on larval composition and abundance.

Sense of humour 'vital' for sextuplets
SEXTUPLETS dad Graham Walton last night urged the parents of Belfast's six new arrivals to "enjoy every minute".
The Wallasey-based father, whose wife Jan gave birth to her six in 1983, said: "I would never offer anyone advice on how to raise their children, but as a father of sextuplets, I can say a sense of humour is vital.''
The Belfast mother had six babies within five minutes, a doctor said.
The sextuplets are in intensive care after being delivered by Caesarean section at the city's Royal Hospital yesterday morning.
They are doing as well as could be expected after being born 14 weeks early.
They were conceived naturally without the aid of IVF, the first case of its kind in Ireland.
"The new parents will have to be organised,'' Mr Walton said. ''My wife is so very organised, we had to be, changing nappies, feeding, sleeping, at all hours of the day and night.''
The new babies weighed between 1lb 7oz and 2lb 2oz. There are four girls and two boys.

Postcard From Brussels
artbrussels2006
The eastern side of the ring of boulevards that encircle the Brussels center
is less of a matter of uphill vs. downhill than that of one long, genial tilt.
This applies analogously to the city's contemporary art scene where, rather
than ideology, Uptown and Downtown are considered more a question of rent,
altitude, and how much one feels the need to be close to the ever-glittering,
perennially posh Avenue Louise area. "It's all the same scene," says Sébastien
Janssen, of Galerie Rodolphe Janssen. "It takes 10 minutes to get downtown by
car if you know the way."
Thus, while one may see the work of Jan van Imschoot, to be shown at
Baronian-Francey's gallery during artbrussels2006, as being rooted in Flemish and
Spanish painting traditions and exhibiting a decidedly Uptown flavour, Mathias
Schaufler's delightfully fabular oils, downtown at dépendance, may be approached
in the same spirit.
artbrussels2006, whose 32,000 visitors will converge on the Brussels Expo
center for four days beginning April 20, is intended to fill a crying need in a
city where the museum establishment gives short shrift to contemporary art.
Moreover, in the same way that Brussels positions itself as the smallest and most
affordable European capital, the art fair's organizers hope to stimulate
canny Belgian collectors with an appealing price range of 1,000 to 100,000 euro.
According to Albert Baronian, one of two Brussels gallerists on the fair's
nine-member International Selection Committee, "If the world of art fairs is
football, divided into Division One and Division Two, then Brussels is the best
of Division Two." Fair Exhibition Director Karen Renders concurs but adds,
"That's true if we assume that there are only four teams in Division One!" As
artbrussels' Unique Selling Proposition, both of them cite the fair's spirit of
familiarity, openness to new talent, and just the right proportion of Belgian
artists on view (roughly 25% of the total). And since the process of presenting
anywhere between 5 and 15 artists in a single 25-square-meter exhibition
booth may result in more of a mix-and-match feel than of unity and cohesion, when
seeking out exciting new developments one must give equal time to the various
exhibitors' galleries.
For example: Xavier Hufgens, former member of the fair's Selection Committee
and cited as a bellwether by many of his colleagues, will be showing the
disquieting photo(sur)realistic paintings of Cris Brodahl, a Belgian, while the
Taché-Lévy Gallery promises to provoke with the beguiling work of Sandrine
Pelletier. And on the one hand, in her exhibition booth equally high-profile
Catherine Bastide will feature Janaina Tschäpe's dreamlike photographic explorations
of the human body within its contexts, alongside Catherine Sullivan's
theatre-derived photos and Belgian Monique van Genderen's spare, elegant Klee-like
drawings. On the other hand, in her gallery Bastide will host the obsessively
fecund Josh Smith and his gleefully trashy oil-and-collage paintings, presumably
to include several more visual remixes of his name.
Galerie Meert Rihoux, which most recently presented the latest and greatest
of John Baldessari's recent oeuvre (monocolour tinted movie stills accompanied
by lists of applicable adjectives), has scheduled the intriguing juxtaposition
of two sets of photographs: Thomas Struth's vast urban structures and spaces
with Louise Lawler's wry constructions, in which the settings of familiar
objects and images comment on underlying strategies and contexts.
Those who have already made the move uptown claim that as of around 1999,
that became the new growth trend. However, those who remain down below in the
St.Catherine district, which extends west from the church of that name to the
canal, point out that hardly a week goes by without a new night shop, call shop,
restaurant, or art gallery springing up somewhere around Rue Antoine Dansaert.
Any responsible tour of art in the neighborhood would also have to include
Crown Gallery; Erna Hécey; the Contemporary Center for Non-Objective Art (with
their au courant audio installation series); the Galerie les filles du
calvaire, located in the venerable Kanal 20 complex; and Jan Mot, who has recently
devoted much attention to Spanish expat and current Brussels resident Dora Garcia
and her installations and performances.
The Alice Gallery, who recently celebrated their first anniversary, add a
particularly Belgian approach to the downtown scene. For one thing, in a nation
of two peoples and a city of two languages, they see no reason why Brussels
shouldn't have two galleries of the same name – and cheerfully create confusion
with far more established Alice Day. In the case of the young upstarts, the
name isn't even that of a person, but an acronym for "Artists Living In Constant
Elevation" (presumably their mission statement). Moreover, in an instance of
the same good-natured self-defeatism by which the Galerie Rodolphe Janssen
recently opened a view-only 'vitrine' space downtown and called it "Sorry We're
Closed", Alice have largely escaped the notice of their older competitors by
locating their exhibition space behind their store, which offers not only a hip
selection of books, but T-shirts and street wear. The visitor is thus faced
with an interesting paradox: in order to reach the underground, activist,
would-be non-commercial art, one must politely wend one's way through the
in-your-face retail space.
Regarding exposure, at the fair Alice are poised to make up for lost time:
they'll be spotlighting Belgian rap singer and graffiti artist Pablo Sozyone
Gonzalez, with the entire outside of their booth to be taken up with one single
gritty red-and-black cartoon drawing, while the inside will feature not just
Sozyone, but the work of his like-minded posse and hiphop crew, the Overlords.
Meanwhile, back at the gallery, Alice have invited long-awaited Dave Kinsey,
who starting April 7 will fill the staid brick underground space with his
installations, assemblages, and angst-ridden cartoon visages. Showing Gonzalez and
Kinsey at the same time is quite felicitous: taken together, the two come off
as long-lost progeny of Gary Panter, with his bugged-out Jimbo character. And
stylistically, the work of the two is most appropriate for an art fair in
Belgium, with its long tradition of and respect accorded to comic strip art.

The Sorceress's Apprentice
by Don Allred
As he told it to his Goldmine Magazine interviewer Bill DeYoung in '96:
One August night in '72, young Rodney Crowell arrived in Nashville, with
$15.00 to his name, eagerly obeying Jim Duff, the mentor who had bid him leave his
native Port Houston 's canal bar, rodeo dancehall, and Holiday Inn music
scene, thence to sign with Columbia Records and tour with Kenny Rogers &
the First Edition. Although Duff had already sold off the publishing rights to
Rodney's demo tape, and vamoosed back to Texas, things turned out okay. Rodney stole
his demo back from the publisher's office, and started playing for tips at a
Nashville oasis, Bishop's Pub. Which was also frequented by other resourceful, restive
songwriters, including Texas expats Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt.
This fecund scene is pungently preserved in the 1976 documentary, Heartworn
Highways. A remarkable "companion album" (with more music than made it onto
the screen) will be released on March 15: it includes "Bluebird Wine," which
Rodney says is the first of his songs that Guy ever approved.
(The late great, feted and fated, standard-setting outcat
Townes was a harder sell.) Guy has denied wanting to be a taskmaster
or teacher of Rodney, who he's said taught him a thing or two Rodney.
But Rodney seems
always to have felt the urge to both learn from and prove himself to some magical
figure. "Bluebird Wine" euphorically celebrates being discovered by a woman
who provides wine and creative inspiration.
Soon after writing "Blueberry Wine," he met Emmylou Harris, who had been
discovered and mentored by another late great, Gram Parsons (nickname all too appropriate).
In Rodney, still
known to few in Nashville, she found her own private Gram, her secret stash of
soulful, song-filled, ceaseless striving.
Eventually, Rodney pushed himself out of what he's called "the Great School
of Emmylou," and spent several frustrating years as a solo artist (he did have
hits, but usually when other people covered his songs: the stash wasn't secret
any more.) In the early 80s, he found himself schooling (and being schooled
by) Johnny Cash's young daughter, Rosanne. He helped her have hits, and he
even, finally, had five number one hits off his own album, Diamonds And Dust. This
strange winning streak proved to be a fluke, although he tried to come up
with a winning formula (like he and Rosanne were experimenting with in her product).
They both became sick of the grind. They drove themselves and
each other to push beyond safe songwriting, and eventually they had to do that,
trying to make sense of their marriage's shipwreck.
In 2001, Rodney made an album with his own money, rather than feel compelled
to try and please a major label one more time, with what he's called his "sharecropper mentality," a biz-reinforced bit of his citybilly heritage. He cannily shopped
it to a well-heeled, intelligent indie label, Sugar Hill. This album's title
was his old nickname, The Houston Kid, but it was really a mix of his own
early close calls, with some of the lives he saw to the end: in his neighborhood,
and his own likely (and immediate) future, if music hadn't provided some kind
of stability.
(Not like the "stability" of his mercurial, dogged father, who shied
away from Nashville, hewing to the aforementioned Houston dive bar zones,
at times with a very underage Rodney on drums
--for novelty appeal, the fortunate son speculates.)
The Houston Kid was highly acclaimed and deservedly so. It was
masterful, with no sense of anxiously overselling good material, as he'd tended
to do previously. In 2003, he released Fate's Right Hand, in which he tries to
provide solace and sense to troubled friends, while struggling with the
paranoid compulsions of "The Man In Me." (Def. not Dylan's "la, la, la,
la"-inclusive song of the same name, and R.C.'s own Man feels closer to Hyde than one
inclined to "hide to keep from being seen," like Mr. D.'s
supposedly/redundantly is.)
2005's The Outsider is more overtly political, to put it mildly, but
certainly redeems the cliché aspect of "the personal is political." Viewpoints shift, and fall away, but the people in these
songs are connected , whether they want to be or not. The first track, "Say
You Love Me," is a raw-eyed ("up all night and the night before," and the
beat's still up), alternate-futures-riffing prequel to several songs to come.
Already, he's getting in bar brawls with bigots. Whereas in "Don't Get Me Started,"
he's already started, but keeps barely pulling back from the brink of his soapbox.
And the slightly creepy china doll imagery of that "Glasgow Girl" (to come) gets graphic here.
"Say you love me!" he barks, leading right into the "Give it to me" of "The
Obscenity Prayer," and keeping its greedy yuppie from seeming too 2-D,
even if his partay platform's not as enlightened as Rodney's (or yours or
mine, of course). "The Outsider" has many a quirky, riddle-me-this lyrical phrase,
which could be irritating, if they weren't seen and raised 'round ever
corner by the music, in a Princely way. "Beautiful Despair" is another peak: he
raises a glass, up a lattice scale, to his sense of sub-Dylanness, his minor yet faithful
muse. But , despite the consolations and vitamins of philosophy (Epictetus, and even or especially an Epicurean poptaste),there's plenty outcroppings and undertoads of not-so-beautiful lowercase
despair, frustration, headbutting, buttbutting limitations (his and everybody's),
overshadowed by the Situation. This really comes through in (after repeated
listenings to the whole album) in the chorus of "Ignorance Is The Enemy,"
despite the gratingly recited verses, which are more like Public Service
Announcements. The chorus is more like a sooty "Rose In Spanish Harlem," crossed with
Gram Parsons' "In My Time Of Darkness," although Rodney's not seconding GP's
call for vision and speed; he's got all he can handle.
Rodney's mellifluous Everlys to Beatles twang is as reliable as ever, which
helps make the Visitor to his reworking of "Shelter From The Storm" even more
startling (in the context of the album), than it is amidst the middleaged haze
of Triple A radio. "Shelter"'s words have always seemed to flirt, if not
dally, with grandiose self-pity, but suddenly here's Dylan's fantasy sorceress in
the eerie flesh: none other than Emmylou Harris, now trading verses with
Rodney. He sounds a bit spooked, understandably (she keeps changing keys on him,
yet they can still harmonize!) You can tell he couldn't stop singing if he
tried, and he doesn't. (P.S.: I'm told that the reissued version of the Heartworn
Highways DVD includes a song not on the CD: it's actually "Rachel," although
the mistitle, "A Young Girl's Hungry Eyes," is certainly appropriate, cos
although Rachel is "the woman behind her man," while Rodney is but "a child behind
the wire," when she gets him behind closed doors, it's like it says on the DVD.
You can also hear this on Gary Stewart's Out Of Hand/Your Place Or Mine
twofer CD, along with some other good early-Crowell covers: Gary adds a little
forced gasp to the end of each line of this un', but he's ably supported by Rodney
and yes Emmylou, and "Rachel" is hungry still.)

I think I'm passing the correct parameters
I have also changed p0 from list[] to tuple (), but didn't work

It was because of the length of df, as it's length was less than 3 sometimes

Successfully develops quantum random number generator (QRNG) chip prototype that is smaller than the size of a fingernail. Expects the price of per QRNG chipset to be the world's lowest level, which will propel the adoption of quantum cryptography in areas of IoT, AI and autonomous driving.
SK Telecom today announced that it has successfully developed a prototype of an ultra-small quantum random number generator (QRNG) chip packed with entropy source and Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG).
A QRNG generates true random numbers without any kind of pattern, meaning that it is ideal for use in cryptography. However, so far, the cost and size of QRNGs currently on market have prevented them from becoming widespread.
With the successful development of an ultra-small QRNG chip measuring 5mm by 5mm, SK Telecom expects that it will soon be able to embed QRNG to a wide variety of the Internet of Things (IoT) products, including autonomous vehicles, drones and smart devices, to dramatically enhance the level of security for IoT services. Although the price of each QRNG chip has not been set yet, the company said that it will be the lowest price ever for a QRNG.
Meanwhile, SK Telecom is also developing a QRNG in the form of USB and PCIe. While the QRNG chip has to be embedded from the beginning of the product development, QRNG in the form of USB or PCIe can be simply connected to any product already on market to provide genuine randomness.


On Saturday, February 12, St. George will be hosting the Western Pennsylvania Deanery Meeting. Liturgy will begin at 10:00 am and will be followed by a luncheon. We hope to see you there.

Daily Guide
The Reading Plan
One of my favorite passages of Scripture has always been Jeremiah 29:11-13. As those verses read, God has a purpose and plan for every person and that should give each of us hope for our future. I firmly hold on to that truth, but I've recently discovered an unhealthy fixation on verse 11 and a tendency to overlook verses 12-13.
I was recently challenged in rereading these verses with what I believe is the heart of of the passage… spending time with God. God's plans and purposes and the hope for our future begin and end with seeking Him.
Picture yourself camping in the woods on a cloudy night and your sole source of light is a Coleman lamp on a picnic table. The further you venture away from the lamp, the less you are able to see. If you intend to leave the campsite, the only way to know where you are going is to hang on to the light.
The future is dark and unknown and is only illuminated by staying close to the source of light and knowledge. God's Word is described as a "lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
It's not about the path… it's about the light. To invest in your future, you must invest in the Word.
The 29plans daily guide is divided into four actions… Read, Listen, Pray, and Obey. Each is unique but united by the theme of the Scripture. It works like this:
R = Read. The reading plan is chronological with no more than sixty verses per day. We concentrate on key chapters in the Old Testament including a weekly chapter in Psalms and Proverbs. The New Testament story is told in unique chronological fashion – reading the four gospels as ONE for a complete linear storyline (no repeat stories) and tying in the Epistles to Paul's missionary journeys in Acts. Find out more…
L = Listen. The suggested song is tied to the reading. We try to span a variety of genres and artists, both Indie and signed. Support the artist by buying the track, use Spotify/YouTube to listen to it, or just use your own song.
P = Pray. There's a suggested prayer focus related to the day's theme. The prayer focus rotates between personal growth, the lost/hurting, friends, family, your world and your community in a weekly cycle.
O = Obey. A suggested response to the day's theme and reading. It rotates between journaling, a call to action, self reflection, and memorizing one verse a week.

La guerre sertorienne est un épisode des guerres civiles romaines opposant une coalition d'Ibères, de Vascons et de Romains aux représentants du régime établi par Sylla. Le nom du conflit provient du nom de Quintus Sertorius, le dernier opposant à Sylla. Cette longue guerre (80  à 72 ) est marquée par l'utilisation réussie par Sertorius de la tactique de guérilla. Après l'assassinat de Sertorius par son lieutenant Marcus Perperna Veiento, le conflit se termina par la victoire des armées de la République romaine dirigées par les proconsuls Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius et Pompée.

L'objectif principal de Sertorius est d'éliminer les optimates, qui avaient commencé des proscriptions à l'intérieur de la République romaine. Ceci provoqua une longue période de lutte en Hispanie entre les partisans de Sylla et de Sertorius, et une forte augmentation des troupes romaines dans la péninsule Ibérique.

Sources
Appien d'Alexandrie constitue notre principale source sur cette guerre. Cet historien de valeur a écrit une œuvre intitulée Histoire de Rome, qui traite notamment des guerres civiles romaines. Dans son œuvre, Appien est une importante source de renseignements sur la guerre sertorienne et sur les campagnes militaires de cette guerre. Une autre source importante est Plutarque, qui raconte la guerre dans deux ouvrages Vie de Sertorius et Vie de Pompée, qui font partie de son œuvre les Vies parallèles des hommes illustres. Les deux sources ne se contredisent pas, même si Appien semble un peu mieux informé que Plutarque.

Origine de la guerre
En 82 av. J.-C., Sertorius, membre des populares et ancien collègue de Caius Marius, avait été nommé propréteur de la province d'Hispanie citérieure. Sertorius devient rapidement très populaire à la suite de certaines réformes sociales qu'il avait promulguées pour obtenir l'amélioration de la vie des Hispaniques, et quand apparait à Rome, Sylla et sa dictature cruelle, il est proclamé comme le représentant principal du parti populares. L'Hispanie est alors utilisée comme base principale pour combattre les optimates.

Les Lusitaniens mécontents de leur sort décident d'envoyer des représentants à Sertorius qui était à l'époque en Afrique du Nord. Les Lusitaniens avaient également une longue histoire de résistance face à Rome. Quelques historiens arrivent à la conclusion que les Lusitaniens cherchaient à obtenir l'indépendance et suivaient en quelque sorte la direction du mouvement de Sertorius qui lui-même s'opposait à Rome. Philip Spann, quant à lui, considère cette version comme improbable, car pour Sertorius accepter une telle offre aurait été considéré comme une trahison et lui aurait enlevé tout espoir de pouvoir rentrer à Rome. Il est plus probable que l'offre est née du fait que les Lusitaniens ne seraient pas en mesure de vaincre Rome seuls et que leur meilleur espoir était de tenter d'aider l'établissement à Rome d'un régime plus clément pour eux. Philip Spann suggère que la principale raison de l'acceptation Sertorius était que pour lui il était devenu clair qu'il n'y aurait pas d'amnistie pour lui et ses partisans, ni une possible réconciliation avec le régime mis en place par Sylla.

Campagnes militaires

Arrivée de Sertorius en Hispanie
Pendant l'hiver 83-82 av. J.-C., Sertorius, un des lieutenants de Marius, part prendre son gouvernement en Hispanie citérieure où il réunit rapidement une armée. Une armée est envoyée contre lui sous les ordres de Caius Annius. Selon Plutarque, un des lieutenants de Sertorius, Livius Salinator, chargé de l'empêcher de franchir les Pyrénées, repousse d'abord ses attaques, mais victime d'une trahison, il est assassiné et ses troupes se débandent. Lorsqu'Annius pénètre en Hispanie, Sertorius, dont les forces sont inférieures en nombre, recule jusqu'à Carthagène avec  hommes.

Intervention de Sertorius en Afrique
Au printemps, 81 av. J.-C. Sertorius, chassé par le syllanien Caius Annius Luscus s'embarque avec  à Carthagène et passe en Afrique ; repoussé par les locaux, il retourne en Espagne vers le mois de juillet. À l'automne, une révolte populaire maure éclate contre Ascalis, fils d'Iphtas, des roitelets de la région de Tingis (Tanger). Des pirates ciliciens, en pourparlers avec Sertorius durant l'été et l'automne, « cinglent vers l'Afrique pour rétablir Ascalis sur le trône de Maurusie » (Plutarque). Ascalis reçoit également le secours de Vibius Paccianus envoyé par Sylla. Sertorius intervient de nouveau en Afrique pour aider les insurgés maures, bat Paccianus, qui est tué, oblige son armée à le rejoindre puis assiège et prend Tingis et détrône Ascalis. Au printemps suivant, Sertorius quitte la Maurétanie à l'appel des Lusitaniens, révoltés contre le gouverneur syllanien de l'Ultérieure.

Retour de Sertorius en Hispanie
En 80 av. J.-C., Sertorius, après avoir mis en déroute une force navale sous le commandement d'Aurelius Cotta, débarque dans la péninsule Ibérique. Plutarque mentionne que Sertorius est d'abord allé en Lusitanie afin d'organiser les tribus de la région et seulement après il se rend dans la vallée du Baetis pour y combattre une armée romaine. Philip Spann suggère lui qu'il est plus probable que la  s'est produite lors de l'arrivée initiale de Sertorius en mars en Lusitanie.

Nomination de Metellus
En 79 av. J.-C., préoccupées par la menace croissante en Hispanie, les autorités de Rome nomment Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius au poste de gouverneur de l'Hispanie ultérieure avec la magistrature de proconsul. Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius arrive en Hispanie avec deux légions. Il établit son camp à Metellinum (aujourd'hui Medellín) d'où il mène plusieurs actions vers l'intérieur de la péninsule. Pour la nouvelle campagne militaire, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius réunit six légions auxquelles s'unirent deux autres légions de vétérans, soit un total de huit légions (soit environ ), pour attaquer les forces de Sertorius. Mais durant cette même année, Sertorius reçoit également des renforts: ses trois légions sont rejointes par trois autres légions venues de la province d'Afrique et une autre de Sicile, constituant ainsi une armée de  pour s'opposer à Metellus. La campagne commence en Cantabrie, où des tribus locales hostiles sont battues par Metellus, qui réussit à obtenir le premier succès de sa campagne. Metellus décide de camper près de Valencia, près du campement principal de Sertorius, et d'agir en s'attaquant aux alliés celtiques de ce dernier, constitués par les Cantabres et les Lusitaniens. Sertorius comprend la stratégie de Metellus et il réplique en attaquant sa cavalerie dans les montagnes des Asturies. La victoire de Sertorius coûte à Metellus environ . Selon Appien, après le désastre Metellus décide d'attaquer la cavalerie de Sertorius, en utilisant la cavalerie gauloise alliée. La bataille se termine par la perte de 800 hommes de Marius et de  pour les soldats de Metellus. Pour restaurer son prestige, Metellus attaque et prend la capitale des Cantabres. Sertorius décide alors d'attendre l'hiver, mais Metellus continue ses opérations militaires avec  qu'il confie à Glaucius, mais ce dernier est battu près de Sagonte. La nouvelle victoire de Sertorius contraint Metellus à suspendre ses opérations.

En 78 av. J.-C., un des subordonnés de Sertorius,  combat avec succès . Sertorius réussit en même temps à imposer son autorité et à dominer la majeure partie du territoire en établissant sa capitale à Osca, une sorte de « nouvelle Rome », qui est l'ancienne ville ibère de Bolscan (aujourd'hui Huesca).

En 77 av. J.-C., Sertorius est rejoint par Perperna qui amène avec lui le reste de l'armée de Marcus Aemilius Lepidus qui était stationnée en Sardaigne. Toutefois Perperna a du mal à accepter de se mettre sous les ordres de Sertorius et le fait seulement à contrecœur. En effet, il avait rejoint l'Hispanie quand ses soldats, ayant entendu dire que Pompée avait été envoyé dans cette province, avaient exigé que Perperna rejoigne Sertorius.

Metellus et Pompée contre Sertorius
En 76 av. J.-C., le nouveau général Pompée le Grand, fort de ses victoires en 82 av. J.-C. en Sicile et en Afrique sur les Marianistes, traverse les Alpes, et se  rend en Hispanie avec environ . Le premier objectif de Pompée, à son arrivée dans la péninsule Ibérique est de dégager la route côtière. À son arrivée dans la péninsule Ibérique, il remporte quelques succès initiaux face aux subordonnés de Sertorius. Mais il est surpris par Sertorius opérant depuis la forteresse de Lauro, que Plutarque situe entre Valence et Sagonte. Pompée s'y arrête pour assiéger le fort, mais Sertorius avait prévu la manœuvre en occupant une hauteur à l'ouest de la ville et en coupant les lignes de ravitaillements de Pompée. Puis dans un deuxième temps, Sertorius fait attaquer ses auxiliaires celtibères et massacre ainsi une légion de Pompée. Pompée décide alors de combattre les tribus celtibères installées plus au Nord. Il remporte l'affrontement près du Júcar. Dans le même temps, Metellus, par sa tactique attentiste, réussit à user les troupes de Sertorius et à les affamer, les contraignant ainsi  à battre en retraite. Pompée réussit à prendre la cité celtibère de , mais il est blessé au cours de la bataille. Au même moment, Perperna se retranche dans Valence, où Metellus le coupe de tout ravitaillement. Durant l'hiver, Pompée continue de rechercher l'affrontement pendant que Metellus continue le siège de Valence, où des émeutes sont en train de se produire.

En 75 av. J.-C., Pompée et Metellus commencent de nouvelles opérations par une manœuvre d'encerclement : pendant que Metellus conquiert les bases de ravitaillement, Pompée, lui, doit tenir en respect l'ennemi, en l'empêchant de secourir Perperna et les Celtibères. Metellus commence les opérations avec une victoire rapide sur les Celtibères près de Valence, pendant que Pompée, malgré son infériorité numérique, recherche l'affrontement avec Sertorius sur le Júcar. La bataille débute au coucher du soleil lorsque la cavalerie de Pompée attaque l'ennemi à l'improviste. Perperna perd beaucoup d'hommes, mais Sertorius fait inverser son aile droite, ce qui prend l'armée de Pompée sur son flanc. Pompée tente de rétablir la situation en sa faveur par une charge, mais c'est un échec : il perd environ  et est contraint de se replier. Dans le même temps, Valence, privée de Perperna, tombe et Sertorius se retrouve privé de sa principale base de ravitaillement. Metellus décide de porter assistance à Pompée, et ils remportent ensemble la victoire sur Perperna à la bataille de Sagonte. Sertorius intervient de nouveau et décide d'affronter Metellus en le prenant par les flancs près de Sagonte tuant ainsi  ennemis. Puis il décide d'affronter Pompée. La nouvelle bataille voit Pompée mettre dans une disposition improvisée son armée. Il est obligé de faire retraite et perd . Metellus en profite pour surprendre l'aile gauche de Sertorius, conduite par Perperna et lui inflige une lourde défaite. Pompée se joint de nouveau à l'attaque, remportant ainsi son premier succès sur ce dernier et lui causant une perte de . Sertorius réussit à échapper au désastre, et prive à son tour de ravitaillement Pompée qui est contraint de faire hiverner ses armées sans beaucoup de victuailles. Pompée organise son armée pour passer l'hiver et se prépare à recevoir des renforts du Sénat à qui il a exposé les risques d'une invasion de l'Italie comme à l'époque de la deuxième guerre punique. Pompée reçoit deux légions, ainsi que des auxiliaires de cavalerie numide expérimentés pour contrer les auxiliaires celtibères de Sertorius.

En 74 av. J.-C., comme leurs campagnes précédentes se sont révélées décevantes, Pompée et Metellus renoncent à concentrer leurs efforts sur la plaine de Valence et attaquent les Celtibères, qui fournissent du grain à Sertorius. Metellus attaque les silos à blé sur l'Èbre et bat aisément les Celtibères près de Bilbibis et Segóbriga. De plus, Perperna est battu et ses alliés celtibères se rendent aux partisans de Sylla, enlevant ainsi une partie du ravitaillement de la péninsule à Sertorius. Pompée, lui, opère sur le Douero. Il réussit à battre une autre armée celtibère et à mettre le siège devant Palencia. Pour prendre la ville, il place contre les murailles du bois auquel il met le feu, provoquant ainsi l'effondrement d'une partie de l'ouvrage défensif. Toutefois, Sertorius voyant l'armée de Pompée occupée à construire des ouvrages de siège, en profite pour l'attaquer par surprise. Selon Plutarque, Pompée est contraint de se replier et perd beaucoup d'hommes dans sa retraite. Cependant, Sertorius se trouve dans une situation de plus en plus difficile. Il décide de faire marcher son armée sur l'Èbre, en libérant quelques villes celtibères et repousse l'offensive de Metellus. Pompée constatant la stratégie des partisans de Marius, accourt pour surprendre par derrière les troupes de Sertorius. Pompée réussit à regrouper son armée avec celle de son collègue près de Calgurris. À deux ils disposaient de  contre seulement  pour Sertorius. La bataille a lieu sur l'Èbre : l'aile droite est commandée par Metellus et l'aile gauche par Pompée. Sertorius place la faible armée de Perperna sur un col pour attirer ses deux adversaires en leur faisant traverser l'Èbre, tout en préparant une deuxième ligne pour éviter les embuscades. Metellus perd le contrôle de la cavalerie, et dans le même temps Sertorius attaque Pompée sur son flanc, là où ce dernier ne s'y attendait pas. Pompée résiste assez pour permettre à Metellus de repousser la cavalerie celtibère, mais Perperna attaque simultanément depuis le col, ce qui contraint Pompée à se replier. Il laisse  sur le champ de bataille. Metellus, lui, a au moins  et doit, lui aussi, se résoudre à une retraite. La victoire de Sertorius permet de regagner la confiance des Celtibères, mais pour peu de temps car Metellus écrase les Celtibères dans une bataille peu après, privant Sertorius de l'accès au précieux ravitaillement fourni par les Lusitaniens.

Division du camp de Sertorius
En 73 av. J.-C., convaincus maintenant que les batailles de campagne faisaient le jeu de Sertorius, Pompée et Metellus commencent à mettre en place une lente érosion des forces de l'ennemi. Pompée se lance à la conquête des Asturies et de la Galice qui appartenaient à des Celtibères faisant alliance avec Sertorius. Sa campagne commence avec la construction de quelques forts pour empêcher Sertorius de couper ses lignes de ravitaillement, puis il bat  et reprend la vieille capitale des Cantabres, Numance. Dans le même temps, les Astures et les Vaccéens viennent tenter de perturber son avancée lors de trois batailles. Metellus place des défenses dans la région de Sagonte et essaie de convaincre les tribus celtibères fatiguées par plus d'un siècle de guerre avec les Romains, de rejoindre son parti. Plutarque raconte comment les Romains infligent de mauvais traitements aux Ibères et blâment leurs actions sous le commandement de Sertorius. Grâce à la diplomatie, Sertorius se trouve encerclé, et décide d'offrir la bataille à Metellus près de Sagonte. Mais sa cavalerie déserte, ce qui le contraint à ordonner la retraite. Pompée complète la défaite des Vaccéens en les absorbant dans la République et en contraignant Lépide à la bataille, un lieutenant de Sertorius, où Pompée obtient une grande victoire. Sertorius tente alors une manœuvre désespérée en perturbant les lignes de ravitaillement de Pompée, mais ce dernier repousse facilement sa tentative. Sertorius se trouve alors entouré non seulement d'ennemis extérieurs mais aussi intérieurs. En effet, nombreux étaient ceux qui voulaient commander à sa place, parmi lesquels Perperna. Le commandement de Sertorius devient alors brutal avec de nombreuses décapitations à l'ordre du jour. Durant l'hiver, Metellus obtient une nouvelle victoire avec la conquête de Carthago Nova, Sertorius est désormais coupé du sud de la péninsule Ibérique.

En 72 av. J.-C., la dernière année de la guerre voit la défaite définitive des Astures et celle des Lusitaniens. Les premiers sont vaincus par Pompée et les seconds sont affaiblis par Metellus. Ce dernier reste d'ailleurs dans le nord de la péninsule Ibérique pour terminer différentes campagnes qui se soldent par la mort des chefs celtibères fidèles à Sertorius. Peu de temps après, une nouvelle étonnante parcourt l'Hispanie : Perperna a assassiné Sertorius et il a pris sa place, en réunissant une armée de criminels et de brigands pour un total d'environ . Cependant, il existe également des arguments forts en faveur de l'année 73 av. J.-C.. Le nouveau général était assez inexpérimenté, avec peu d'influence sur ses troupes et était d'une lâcheté importante. En outre, avec la mort de Sertorius, Pompée profite de l'occasion pour gagner une grande bataille contre l'armée de Perperna, puis laisse Metellus partir avec  pour assiéger Sagunte, un des derniers lieux fortifiés restant aux mains des partisans de Sertorius. Après la division des forces des partisans de Sylla, Perperna espère l'emporter grâce à sa supériorité numérique. La bataille se déroule dans une localité incertaine entre Valence et Sagonte. Pompée agit le premier, en envoyant un petit groupe de légionnaires en plaine, pour attirer Perperna dans un piège. Ce dernier pense qu'il lui serait facile de détruire ce petit détachement, et il décide l'attaquer avec son armée, il obtient une victoire facile et poursuit l'ennemi. Mais entretemps, Pompée avait placé son armée sur les flancs de son ennemi et il l'attaque, en met facilement en déroute l'armée de Perperna.  de Perperna sont tués, et parmi les prisonniers ce même Perperna est trouvé, bien qu'il se soit caché dans des buissons. Pour sauver sa vie, il propose à Pompée de lui donner une série de correspondances entre des membres de la classe sénatoriale et Sertorius. Mais Pompée, qui voulait gagner à son service les sénateurs, fait brûler les documents et tuer Perperna. Cette victoire était désormais la sienne et ce qui restait de l'armée de Sertorius fut démobilisée. Metellus, quant à lui, célèbre le triomphe en 71 av. J.-C.

Conséquences
De l'avis de H. H. Scullard, le traitement par Pompée de l'Hispanie était « humain ». Pompée donna la citoyenneté à de nombreux partisans et une partie des prisonniers furent déplacés à Lugdunum Convenarum dans la partie sud de la Gaule.

La défaite de Sertorius marque la fin de l'opposition marianiste, qui sur ce champ d'opération avait perdu son meilleur général et surtout une partie importante de son armée. Mais, et c'est certainement le fait le plus important, ce conflit donne à Pompée un tremplin pour accéder au sommet de sa carrière politique à Rome. Pompée célèbre son triomphe avec une autre victoire de Crassus sur les rescapés de l'armée de Spartacus. L'excellente réputation nouvellement acquise à la suite de sa victoire sur Sertorius, lui permet d'obtenir la guerre contre les pirates. Il remporte également cette guerre et est confirmé par la suite comme consul d'Asie, où il soumet définitivement Mithridate VI Eupator. Il agrandit la République romaine de deux nouvelles provinces lors de l'annexion de la Cilicie et du Pont, puis il combat les tribus orientales et arrive près de la Mer Caspienne d'où il part pour conquérir la Syrie et la Palestine. Jérusalem est prise par Pompée, ce qui permet de constituer encore deux nouvelles provinces. Ses campagnes à l'est du bassin méditerranéen lui valent un nouveau triomphe, mais, pour obtenir de nouvelles magistratures, il décide de contribuer à l'essor politique de Jules César.

This week, one of our biggest projects of 2018 comes to a close as we complete our journey through the original six Star Wars films with Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Easily among the most iconic pieces of mainstream Hollywood blockbuster history, Return of the Jedi is a fascinating experience to watch and discuss in this context, as it represents some of the best and some of the worst Star Wars has to offer, in perhaps the most complicated package we've yet broken down in this series. We give it our usual in-depth breakdown, and offer some final thoughts on our entire Star Wars re-watch project. Before that, Sean and I also break down a few pieces of news – including the recent Doctor Who teaser and the reveal of the new Dragon Ball Super: Broly film – while I give initial impressions of Octopath Traveler for the Nintendo Switch and Sean talks about reading an amazing mid-2000s Spider-Man comics run. It's a jam-packed podcast, and one of my personal favorites of the year.

About One-Fifth Of All The Jobs In The U.S. Are Already Gone, And This Economic Depression Is Just 6 Weeks Old
Posted By: GeorgeEaton
April 30, 2020 by Michael Snyder
In all of U.S. history we have never seen anything like this. I have been sitting at my desk for quite a while searching for the proper words to convey the gravity of what we are facing, and to be honest it has been quite a struggle. On Thursday, we learned that another 3.8 million Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits last week. That was much higher than many experts were anticipating, because by now the initial surge of unemployment caused by the coronavirus lockdowns should have started to fade quite a bit. But instead, the job loss tsunami continues to roll on, and at this point a total of 30.3 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past six weeks. The following comes from ABC News…
Roughly 30.3 million people have now filed for jobless aid in the six weeks since the coronavirus outbreak began forcing millions of employers to close their doors and slash their workforces. That is more people than live in the New York and Chicago metropolitan areas combined, and it's by far the worst string of layoffs on record.
According to numbers that come straight from the Federal Reserve, more than 152 million Americans were working in February, and that was an all-time high.
So losing 30.3 million jobs in six weeks means that nearly one-fifth of all jobs in the United States have officially vanished in just a month and a half.
And actually things are even worse than that, because millions of Americans still have not been able to successfully file claims because state unemployment websites have been so overloaded. Just check out these truly alarming numbers from the Economic Policy Institute…
The Economic Policy Institute found that for every 10 people who said they successfully filed a jobless claim in the previous four weeks, three to four more attempted to apply but couldn't get through the system to file a claim.
Meanwhile, another two people didn't even bother to try because it seemed too hard.
State unemployment websites were never designed to handle this sort of an onslaught. For some unemployed Americans, attempting to get the benefits that they have been promised can be an exceedingly frustrating experience…
Marci Oberst sat down at her computer Tuesday and embarked on what's become a daily ritual – trying to log onto the Maryland Department of Labor's website so she can extend her unemployment insurance.
At 9:30 AM, she was number 88,000 in line, according to the state's labor website.
Number 88,000 in line?
How is that even possible?
Sadly, this is what an economic collapse looks like, and the months ahead are going to be exceedingly painful.
Needless to say, economic activity has come to a virtual standstill during these lockdowns, and this is really starting to show up in the numbers. For example, Edmunds is projecting that U.S. auto sales will be down by more than half compared to last April…
The car shopping experts at Edmunds say that April will be a record down month for the auto industry due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, forecasting that 633,260 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. for an estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 7.7 million. This reflects a 52.5% decrease in sales from April 2019, and a 36.6% decrease from March 2020. Edmunds analysts note that this is the lowest-volume sales month dating back to at least 1990; the second worst month for sales in the past 30 years was January of 2009, when 655,000 vehicles were sold.
And major retailers are failing so rapidly now that it is hard to keep up with all the carnage.
The latest major victim to make headlines is J. Crew…
Clothing apparel company J. Crew is preparing for a bankruptcy filing that could come as soon as this weekend, people familiar with the matter tell CNBC.
Privately held J. Crew is working to secure $400 million in financing to fund operations in bankruptcy, said the people, who requested anonymity because the information is confidential. They cautioned that timing could still slip, and plans are not yet finalized.
COVID-19 has created an environment of great fear, and as I have been warning for a very long time, financial institutions tighten the flow of credit in such an environment.
We saw this happen during the last financial crisis, and it is starting to happen again now.
All over America we are seeing lending conditions being greatly tightened, and Wall Fargo just announced that they will no longer be taking applications for HELOCs at all…
Wells Fargo, one of the largest home lenders in the U.S., is stepping away from the market for home equity lines of credit because of uncertainty tied to the coronavirus pandemic.
The bank informed its mortgage personnel of the news Thursday in a conference call, according to a source, and the move was confirmed by company spokesman Tom Goyda.
I was absolutely floored when I first read that.
Our entire system depends on easy credit, and these changing conditions are going to create quite a bit of chaos for the foreseeable future. Americans are going to find that it is much, much more difficult to be approved for home loans, auto loans and credit cards, and that is going to greatly depress economic activity.
Fear is also deeply affecting U.S. consumers, and at this point they are hoarding cash at a pace that we haven't seen since the 1980s…
Americans are so nervous about the state of the economy that they are stashing cash in the bank at a rate not seen since the first year of Ronald Reagan's presidency.
The United States government's Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday morning that the savings rate surged to 13.1% in March — up from 8% in February.
But of course there are tens of millions of Americans that have already run through their savings and can't hoard cash because they don't have any left.
According to one brand new survey, many of those Americans now find themselves unable "to pay the rent, mortgage or utility bills"…
The coronavirus' seismic hit on the U.S. economy is rattling people's finances. Roughly 41% of working-age adults say their families have experienced a job loss, a decrease in work hours or other employment-related declines in income in recent weeks, according to a new analysis by the Urban Institute.
Underscoring the jump in financial distress around the country: More than 4 in 10 of Americans whose work was affected by the pandemic said they weren't able to pay the rent, mortgage or utility bills; skipped medical care; or were at risk of going hungry.
Fear of COVID-19 turned out to be the "black swan event" that burst our debt-fueled economic bubble, but this economic depression would not end even if the coronavirus pandemic suddenly disappeared tomorrow.
Now that the economic dominoes are tumbling, all of the economic momentum is taking us in just one direction, and nobody is going to be able to reverse this process now that it has started.
Next week, a couple more million unemployed Americans will probably be added to our rapidly growing total, and it is just a matter of time before "great civil unrest" starts breaking out.
Our debt-fueled economy and our Ponzi scheme financial system were never going to be sustainable in the long run, and many have been warning for years that we would eventually be facing this sort of a scenario.
Now it is here, and I wish that I could tell you that everything is going to be okay and that our leaders are going to be able to put the pieces of our shattered economy back together, but I can't.

Christine Blasey Ford: I Thought Brett Kavanaugh Would 'Accidentally' Kill Me
California psychology Professor Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Judiciary Committee Thursday that she believed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was going to "accidentally" kill her during an alleged incident of sexual assault.
In her prepared statement before lawmakers, Ford said, "Brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. He had a hard time because he was so drunk and because I was wearing a one-piece bathing suit under my clothes.
"I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming," the professor continued.
"This was what terrified me the most and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me," she added.
Ford testified she did not reveal the alleged incident to her parents, citing concerns they would react angrily that she attended a house party where alcohol was present. Further, the professor, who did not file a police report following the alleged misconduct, contended she only first detailed the incident during a couples' therapy session in May 2012.
Ford alleges that Kavanaugh, along with his friend Mike Judge, forced her into a room and groped her at a house party in Maryland around 1982, an accusation all named witnesses deny any knowledge of.
With his wife, Ashley, by his side, Judge Kavanaugh denied the allegation in a sit-down interview with Fox News's Martha MacCallum on Monday and called for a "fair process" in which he could defend his integrity against the claims.
"I've never sexually assaulted anyone, in high school or otherwise," President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee affirmed to MacCallum. "I am not questioning, and have not questioned, that perhaps Dr. Ford, at some point in her life, was sexually assaulted by someone, in some place. But what I know is I've never sexually assaulted anyone."

Pakistan's Warid Telecom selects Ericsson for 4G LTE Rollout
In its bid to deliver next generation communication services for its customers, Warid Telecom, a cellular service provider in Pakistan, has announced Ericsson as its technology partner in the roll-out of 4G LTE services in Pakistan.
Ericsson, a global provider of telecommunication equipment is the sole supplier of 4G LTE in Pakistan. Warid becomes one of first few networks in the world which will be shifted from 2G to 4G LTE technology directly. With the launch of its 4G LTE services, the customers of Warid Telecom in Pakistan will experience mobile broadband revolution with high-speed data on-the-go.
Commenting on the announcement, CEO Warid Telecom, Muneer Farooqui said: "Warid is gearing up for the 4G LTE launch with the best available network solutions and Ericsson has been committed to provide us with the state-of-art technologies and services. Our strong partnership and working relationship with Ericsson has given us complete trust in their technology and execution, making them the preferred partner for this landmark project as well."
Warid Telecom has already started an internal trial to test the network capacity and service reliability after which public trials will be announced by the company along with a program for 4G LTE enabled devices as well. The company has already started delivering free 4G LTE SIMs to its customers who have 4G LTE enabled handsets.

I have two different recurring dreams, which probably symbolize where I belong or long to belong. One is of swimming in the oily thick waters of the Dubai Creek with the dhows driving past me dangerously. The other dream is very pleasant and it entails me opening shutters of a chalet with direct access to a frontal view of the Matterhorn peak, in Switzerland.
While the Dubai Creek was an integral part of my childhood (although I've never actually swam in it!), I have never seen the Matterhorn, and certainly never had a frontal view of it.
A few days ago, my dream in mind and children in tow, I travelled the distance by train from Geneva to finally see the Matterhorn. After all these years spent living in Switzerland, none of us had seen one of the most iconic peaks in the world, one that adorns every chocolate box, every Swiss watch publicity, every calendar and stamp. It is the peak on the Toblerone chocolate and for that reason, we bought a small symbolic one, and shared it.
It turns out we had brought too many nick nacks and snacks to to dwell on the Toblerone. We had Swiss cereal bars, almonds, fresh fruit, homemade sandwiches all packed in a hefty package that I carried for refueling. Not that we exerted ourselves. I am to blame for not hiking. I came ill prepared. I didn't expect the temperatures to be so low at an altitude between 2000 and 3800m and thus dressed my kids in two summer layers. Needless to say, they froze, up at the peak of the nearby mountain.
The trip in the cable car was breathtaking,even for me a pretty seasoned skier of the Alps and the Rockies. I have always said that Verbier, for example, offers "Swiss Air" views as they resemble those you see when you fly over the Alps on a Swiss flight. Courchevel is also very high in altitude and has nice views. But Zermatt, which we visited for the first time in order to view the Matterhorn, is magnificient, and this even in summer.
There is nothing more authentically Swiss than the village of Zermatt. Granted it has its hotels, tourist shops and restaurants but its beauty lies in its pedestrian roads, and its strict architectural zoning, even more so than Wyoming. From the cable car, Zermatt is a town built of wood, and the higher we went, the more it began to resemble the remnants on the floor of a carpentry store. Zermatt fits well in its environment.
We were delighted with our trip, dwelling in the Swiss ambiance (we even had fondue). And my delight surpassed the disapointment of not making my dream come true. I traveled 4 hours by train to see the Matterhorn and I actually didn't get a frontal view of it. I climbed into a cable car to catch a closer look and the closer I got, the more eclipsed it got.
When we approached the peak, a huge gray cloud covered its summit. The surrounding peaks were shining and white with snow in the mountain July sunshine. However, this particulat cloud didn't budge during the five hours we spent in Zermatt.
Like a veiled woman, the Matterhorn refused to show her face. I choose however to ignore nature's games and have promised to come visit again, in another season or again next summer. What a perfect reason to get some fresh air and take in splendid landscapes.
Reading this entry in the 100% humidity and 47 degree heat of Dubai was very refreshing!I daydreamt all day about the fresh Swiss mountain air.
One country I would be proud to carry its passport would be the Confederation Helvetique(CH) or Switzerland as it is known.Though boring for many,they deserve to be the peak of democracy and civilization.Though the streets empty after 6 pm as in a curfew,you look forward to an early crisp moment the next day.
One thing I know is that I will soon be visiting my Swiss grandchildren,and take them around the lakes and parks of that beautiful country.The blogger's Heidi experiences and dreams of The Sound of Music make smile and wish her dreams come true very soon.

NASA To Stick With Controversial Name For New Space Telescope

NASA's next flagship space telescope, scheduled to launch in December after many years of delays, will retain its current name, the James Webb Space Telescope, despite the controversy surrounding its honoree.
The telescope was dedicated to James Webb, the space agency's administrator from 1961 to 1968 and throughout the Apollo years, in 2002. However, over the last six years, evidence has come to light linking Webb's work in the upper echelons of the state department with what is known as the Lavender Scare, the state-sponsored anti-LGBT purge that forced gay and bisexual scientists and civil servants from US federal jobs because of their sexuality in the 1950s and '60s.
Naming Hubble's successor after someone involved in one of American history's most discriminatory political actions proved controversial enough that thousands of astronomers, astrophysicists, and scientists signed a petition calling for it to be renamed. The petition, started by cosmologist Dr Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, astrophysicist Dr Sarah Tuttle, astronomer Dr Lucianne Walkowicz, and astrophysicist Dr Brian Nord, reads:
"This new mission reflects the rainbow of possible universes that our community imagines, dreams about, and works for, and its name should reflect its future legacy. We are not only space science professionals and space enthusiasts, we are also future users of JWST. Together, we are part of the constituency that NASA purports to serve and inspire through its mission to "reveal the unknown for the benefit of all humankind."
The letter adds: "[U]nder Webb's leadership, queer people were persecuted. Those who would excuse Webb's failure of leadership cannot simultaneously award him credit for his management of Apollo."
The petition led NASA to start an investigation to examine and review archival documents related to Webb's policies and actions. Following up on the investigation with the agency, IFLScience was told that the investigation is now concluded and that there are no plans to rename the telescope due to not enough evidence warranting a name change.
"We have found no evidence at this time that warrants changing the name of the James Webb Space Telescope," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement seen by IFLScience.
Back in June, the head of NASA's astrophysics division, Dr Paul Hertz, asked the agency to be transparent with the community and the public regarding the investigation and whichever decision was made in the end. When IFLScience asked if the results of the investigation will be published, a NASA spokesperson told us there was nothing to share.
"We truly don't have anything to report because our investigation hasn't found anything," Karen Fox, Senior Science Communications Officer for NASA, told IFLScience.
Previous documents shared widely online have highlighted the role Webb himself had in facilitating and supporting homophobic policy discussions among US senators as Undersecretary of State in 1950.
It's not just his role in federal anti-LGBTQ policy that is widely seen as problematic. During his tenure as NASA administrator, women were deliberately excluded from the astronaut program despite the so-called Mercury 13 outperforming the male astronauts. He also penned an essay in 1980 titled "Women Can't Fight". That was the historic year the first female officers graduated from the US Naval Academy, where Webb was a professor at the time.
NASA has proven receptive in recent years to requests for name changes of space objects that have proven insensitive. A prime example is the renaming of an asteroid formerly known as "Ultima Thule" to Arrakoth in 2019 after learning its original name had Nazi connotations. Last year it announced it would stop using derogatory or problematic nicknames for objects, renaming both the Eskimo nebula and Siamese Twin galaxy to less offensive terms.

The internet and adverts often come hand in hand, sometimes it's annoying but other times it can be done incredibly well. The most common websites with advertising tends to be social media and newspapers, and mostly they do things incorrectly.
With the privacy around advertising coming under fire, I thought it'd be a great idea to highlight the good and bad ways of doing advertising.
Rule 1. Your viewers are the most important.
Even though your advertisers are paying you for your website real-estate, your viewers are the reason your advertisers are paying. A lot of websites forget this when placing their advertising and this leads us partially onto rule 2, if your viewers are annoyed then you won't get the visits that the advertisers want.
Advertisers are usually willing to work with you to make their advert fit with your audience, and your website so don't be afraid to work with them to sort something out.
Click through is important to your advertisers, and you obviously, but intruding on your visitors isn't going to help you. If you are happily reading a website and all of a sudden you get an advert, or even a sign in button, that interrupts you from what you are reading then you won't be happy.
The same goes for everything else you do on your website, not just on advertising though and you should always make sure your content is front and centre. At this point in the blog, I'd like to link to the Coalition for Better Ads, endorsed by all the major tech companies, they give you great advice on the best ways to show adverts on your website.
This is something you notice on news websites more often, but it happens elsewhere as well and it's not always adverts. When it comes to interaction in adverts and video adverts, it's up to your users to press things to make the advert work.
One of the single most annoying things I find with adverts on websites, especially when I am on mobile, is the sudden sound of someone talking or music playing and most importantly my data being used without my permission! This will scare people off, it won't make people click on the advert.
Rule 4. Personalisation, but not creepy.
I touched earlier on how privacy is becoming a big thing when it comes to advertising, especially with Facebook's current problem with user privacy. Personalisation is a very good thing and can increase your adverts click-through, but be careful not to be too creepy when personalising. Loose relation to something is better than targeting by name, area, or school. That makes you sound like a stalker.
This comes in very handy when you're trying to convert someone who has previously looked at your website and not converted, e.g, looked at a piece of clothing and disappeared. Making a personal advert in Google Search from this close-to-conversion could be handy.
Advertising is a great way to reach your audience, but you need to know how to do it properly to make the most of it without scaring away or annoying your visitors.
These best practices should help you gain brand awareness and trust, and help get anyone who is yet to convert that one step closer.


Middle to late Cambrian time (ca. 513 to 488 Ma) is characterized by an unstable plateau in biodiversity, when depauperate shelf faunas suffered repeated extinctions. This poorly understood interval separates the Cambrian Explosion from the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event and is generally regarded as a time of sustained greenhouse conditions. We present evidence that suggests a drastically different climate during this enigmatic interval: Features indicative of meteoric ice are well preserved in late Cambrian equatorial beach deposits that correspond to one of the shelf extinction events. Thus, the middle to late Cambrian Earth was at least episodically cold and might best be considered a muted analogue to the environmental extremes that characterized the Proterozoic, even though cooling in the two periods may have occurred in response to different triggers. Such later Cambrian conditions may have significantly impacted evolution preceding the Ordovician radiation.


For all external services in connection with its activities, Erfisa can rely on a network of expert and trustworthy partners, all honouring the same ethical values.
We are happy to collaborate with BS & Associés [BS & Associates] and ARGOS Prévoyance SA [ARGOS Providence plc].
Some activities require the intervention of lawyers. We have trustworthy partners of proven expertise at our disposal.
Notably we work in collaboration with the Association des notaires de Suisse romande [Association of Notaries of French-Speaking Switzerland], and in particular with the legal chambers of Maître Pierre Badoux, situated in the near vicinity.
We have partners we can recommend to you if you need help drawing up a tax declaration or statement of accounts.
We work with several systems aimed at financial professionals. And you can also access various online data sources : Swissquote - Telekurs Financial.
In the context of promoting its activities and its professional ethics, Erfisa features in various magazines and radio broadcasts. We also support some associations and private foundations.
Is there a minimum amount necessary to obtain your investment management services?
No minimum required. The quality of our advice does not depend on the amount under management.
How can I be sure that your advice is objective?
Erfisa does not accept any bank commissions or retrocessions, contrary to the usual practice in investment management. This principle guarantees our clients neutral and objective advice. Our proposals are therefore only in the client's own interest.
How much does a rendezvous with one of your advisors or managers cost?
The first rendezvous is free of charge since it is meant to identify your needs. On the basis of this, we establish a clear, written proforma invoice. You are free to accept, compare, or reject our proposal.
Why come to you when I have a Bank?
Swiss Banks offer excellent services. A firm like Erfisa offers complementary services. So far as advice is concerned, the size of the Banks, conflicts of interest with bankers, the rotation of bank personnel are often inconvenient factors which do not exist in dealing with Erfisa. Also it is not easy to find one's way in the jungle of commission tariffs, interest rates and other fees charged by financial institutions. We have noted some considerable differences between the different tariffs and can bring you some clear advice on this subject so as to enable you to make the best choice of a banking partner.
I don't possess a vast fortune, but can I come to see you just the same?
At Erfisa, the amount of your assets is not a criterion for a first contact. A mutual reflection on the connexion between your objectives, our services and the cost are the points which will determine if you wish or not to call on our services. In any case, every client is entitled to exactly the same service at Erfisa, whatever his size.
If I use your services must I change my bank?
You are free to choose your depositary Bank. Our mandate includes the evaluation of the conditions of your Bank and its quality of service compared with other institutions.
I don't know whether I can trust you. What are your guarantees?
Your money is not deposited with Erfisa but in a Bank of your choice. We can neither draw out or transfer the money on your account, since we do not have a Power of Attorney. We are members of the ASG (Association des gérants de fortune indépendants), which keeps the profession organised and checks the scrupulous application by Erfisa of the relative legislation, notably the Federal Law concerning money laundering. Erfisa is certificated by the FINMA (swiss financial markets supervisor) as qualified professional investor.
I'm not living in Switzerland, but I'd like some more information.
Our experience and our network of correspondents in Switzerland and abroad confirms our aptitude in discovering original and performing solutions for a clientele seeking discretion in view of the fact they are well known or seek confidentiality in a transaction. Only requirement, you must pass by our offices and sign the documents required by law.
I only have debts and no fortune; can I still call on your services?
Erfisa does not accord any credit or loan in its own name. Our relations with our Banks and our competence as managers could be useful to you. Do not hesitate therefore to contact us in order to discuss your credit position, its interest rates, its margins of cover, and its amortisement schedule.
Does banking secrecy cover you?
Legally, we are not submitted to banking secrecy, since we are intermediaries. We are, however, submitted to professional secrecy, whose non-observance could lead to penal consequences for us.
Are you taking care of tax forms?
Erfisa is not an accountant or a fiduciary. We do not fulfil tax forms. We advise in general and specific tax optimisation matters. For the care of tax forms, we recommend to you our qualified partners.
Can you help me to finance commercial project?
Erfisa advises its customers for the creation of business plans, in order to present and negotiate them with commercial banks. We are however not in the position to find private investors or to finance ourselves commercial projects.

Q: Facebook sdk for windows phone LoginAsync method throws an Facebook.WebExceptionWrapper exception I am making Windows Phone 8 application and it uses facebook login to identify users. When they first time log in they see facebook login dialog but next time when user starts application login happens on background. That works very well when phone is connected to internet but if i close network and try start application FacebookSessionClient.LoginAsync methdod returns my session normally and application continue it's normal flow. But suddenly i get unhandled exception on my App.cs class.
Here is my stack trace:
 $exception {System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception details. ---> Facebook.WebExceptionWrapper: The remote server returned an error: NotFound. --->

I have tried try catch block many places in my code but i't doesn't stop there. Also when it breaks on app.cs it show that error comes from another thread.
This is how i call facebook login if user is logged before
 FacebookSession facebookSession = await App.FacebookSessionClient.LoginAsync();

And it returns immediately and gives current session. But about ten seconds later app crashes. Can anyone give me a hint how i can handle that error correctly or how i can prevent that? I use 0.8 facebook sdk version.

A: Check this question: Facebook Wrap Exception Wrapper
This is the same bug already fixed in GitHub repo but not yet available via NuGet. The solution to your problem is to build Facebook.Client from source instead of downloading it with NuGet.

Q: Multiple builds on a commit We were previously using SVN but recently migrated to Git.
We have a monolithic repository for our enterprise application and have sub-applications as folders inside it.
We have multiple teamcity projects for each sub-application and this worked well till we were with SVN since we could specify folder in repository URL. However, Git doesn't allow including folders in repository URL so whenever something is committed in one sub-application, all other sub-applications are also built.
One way would be to take out sub-applications as new repositories but this initiative would take time. Is there some other solution?

A: You shouldn't compare SVN to Git ever. This leads to this kind of confusion. While SVN is directory based, Git is project based, meaning that there is no way to commit/update the project partially. There is, nonetheless, a solution, but you dismissed it as time consuming (although I really think it would be a good investment): submodules.
You can read more here, but the gist of it is as follows:

It often happens that while working on one project, you need to use another project from within it. [...] Git addresses this issue using submodules. Submodules allow you to keep a Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository. This lets you clone another repository into your project and keep your commits separate.

Here is the complete documentation.
I would firmly advise you and your team to never compare SVN and Git. Even though they share a common goal, their usage, principles and workings, internal and external, make them incomparable, and more harmful than good.

Renewables Update
The Tokyo Gubernatorial Election and Nuclear Power
31 January 2014 Teruyuki Ohno,Executive Director, Japan Renewable Energy Foundation
An argument exists that the issue of nuclear power is not a relevant major issue for the upcoming Tokyo gubernatorial election. Tokyo faces many challenges, such as an aging infrastructure, disaster prevention and mitigation, waiting lists for nursery schools, and senior citizens living alone. Therefore, the argument goes, this election should not be dominated by a single issue.
However, I strongly disagree with the view that nuclear power is the province of the national government alone and that local governments should stay away from the debate. This belief is based on my experience serving as head of the environmental bureau of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government after the March 2011 earthquake.
Tokyo was in crisis mode after the earthquake damaged TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Although the worst-case scenario of the entire city being exposed to high levels of radiation happened to be avoided because of weather conditions at the time, the incident and the invisible contamination scared many residents. The local government's waterworks and garbage workers had to deal with nuclear contamination for the first time in their lives.
Residents of Tokyo and those working in the city experienced firsthand the vulnerability of the country's electricity supply system, which was heavily dependent on a large centralized power source (i.e., nuclear power), after the rolling blackouts of March 2011 and power usage restrictions of July and August of the same year. Since electricity directly affects people's lives and business activities, this important issue should be discussed not only on the national level, but also on the local.
The experience of Tokyo after the earthquake suggests the possibility of the city being able to maintain its growth without relying on nuclear power. Tokyo has sought to reduce energy use as part of an effort to cope with global warming. Based on these efforts, the city has already cut power use by more than 10% since the earthquake. As a matter of fact, the maximum use of electricity during the summer peak period in the broader Tokyo metropolitan area has been reduced by an amount equivalent to ten nuclear reactors. The use of decentralized power sources, such as renewable energy and co-generation systems, has also been accelerating.
Tokyo's efforts became a model for other areas, such as Kansai in western Japan, as power saving has become a major concern after all Japan's nuclear reactors were shut down. Many companies that had implemented energy-saving measures at their Tokyo headquarters also adopted similar steps at branches in other parts of the country. Overseas companies, such as a major French utility, sent representatives to Tokyo to find out how the city survived the summer heat without nuclear power.
The Tokyo metropolitan government does not have the authority to approve or reject nuclear power. Neither does Tokyo have a nuclear plant, unlike some prefectures that have signed nuclear reactor agreements with utilities. However, there are many things that a local government can do within the current institutional framework.
The government of Tokyo has come up with a number of pioneering measures in a variety of fields including the environment, welfare, and city planning, by overcoming limitations imposed by the existing framework. If Tokyo has a leader with the vision to create a vibrant society that does not depend on nuclear power, Tokyo could potentially become the world's utmost city in this respect. The city would also be able to represent Japan's other local governments that are seeking to shift away from nuclear power. This would definitely exert an influence on the national government and its energy policy.
With the shift of energy supply structure from large-scale and centralized to a more decentralized system, local governments, municipalities, and communities will play an increasingly important role in the formulation of energy policies in the future.
The Tokyo gubernatorial election has always preempted change for the rest of the nation. I hope that nuclear power will be a major point of contention at the upcoming election, and that this will build the momentum needed to realize the shift to a safe and sustainable energy system, so that people of Japan and the world will never again experience such horrors and fear as that caused by the March 11, 2011 disaster.

I don't think that it's necessary to go to church in order to go to heaven. All that is necessary in my opinion is to be spiritual, pray, and try to live your life right. Also, even though a person's personality is the most important looks do matter some. Furthermore, if you're not between the ages of 42 and 57 don't bother emailing me! I'm tired of you young guys emailing me and men with no pictures of their face on their profile. Most of you young guys aren't very mature and aren't ready for a real relationship or a longterm relationship. I'm not interested in any young man.
