Types of Building Lease
Is there any formality for leasing real estate in Japan?
A lease becomes effective by the mutual agreement of lessor and lessee. Japanese law does not require any formality regarding lease agreement; however, lease agreement of real estate is normally made by document. It sometimes becomes legal dispute whether lease agreement without document exists or not.
*Civil Code Article 601: A lease becomes effective if one of the parties promises to make a certain thing available for the other party to use and make profit, and the other party promises to pay rent for the leased thing and return the delivered thing when the contract is terminated.
Is it possible for non-Japanese persons or non-Japanese companies to lease real estate in Japan?
Non-Japanese persons and non-Japanese companies can lease real estate in Japan. Basically, there is no restriction on parties and objects.
What types of land lease exist?
Land lease can be broadly classified into two types: land lease for the purpose of building ownership and that for other purposes (e.g., for the use of parking lot). The former is subject to the Act on Land and Building Leases, while the act is not applied to the latter. As the Act on Land and Building Leases prescribes various provisions that protect lessee strongly, those types are markedly different. Land lease for the purpose of building ownership can separated to two types: ordinary land lease and fixed-term land lease. The lessee has right to request renewal of the former lease contract; however, there is no such right regarding the latter lease contract.
*Act on Land and Building Leases Article 2: In this Act, the meanings of the terms listed in each of the following items shall be as prescribed in each respective item:
(i) "Land Lease Right" shall mean superficies or the right to lease land for the purpose of building ownership;
How long is the land lease term?
Duration of land lease differs depending on types of the contract.
a. Ordinary land lease for the purpose of building ownership
Duration of ordinary land lease for the purpose of building ownership is thirty years, while the lessor and lessee may agree to a longer period in the lease agreement. After first renewal, the minimum duration is twenty years. A minimum ten years term is prescribed after second renewal.
*Act on Land and Building Leases
(Duration of the Land Lease Right)
Article 3: The duration of the Land Lease Right shall be thirty years; provided, however, that if a period longer than this is prescribed by contract, that period shall apply.
(Period of the Land Lease Right After Renewal)
Article 4: In cases where the parties renew the land lease contract, that period shall be ten years from the day of renewal (twenty years in the case of the first renewal after the establishment of the Land Lease Right); provided, however, that if the parties prescribe a period longer than this, that period shall apply.
b. Fixed-term land lease for the purpose of building ownership
There are three types of fixed-term land lease for the purpose of building ownership depending on conditions of the contract: (i) fifty years long or more, (ii) thirty years to fifty years and (iii) ten to thirty years.
(Fixed Term Land Lease Right)
Article 22 In cases where a Land Lease Right is established with a duration of fifty years or more, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 9 and 16, it may be stipulated that there is to be no extension of the duration through renewal of the contract (including renewal pursuant to a request for renewal or due to continued use of the land; the same shall apply in paragraph (1) of the following Article) or due to the construction of buildings, and that no requests to purchase are to be made pursuant to the provisions of Article 13. In this case, a special contract stating to that effect must be concluded in writing by means of a notarial deed.
(Fixed Term Land Lease Right, etc. for Business Purposes)
Article 23 (1) In cases where the objective is the ownership of buildings used solely for business (excluding those used for residences; the same shall apply in the following paragraph) and a Land Lease Right with a duration of at least thirty but shorter than fifty years is to be established notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 9 and 16, there shall be no extension of the duration pursuant to renewal of the contract or the construction of buildings, and there shall be no request to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Article 13.
(2) In cases where the objective is the ownership of buildings used solely for business and a Land Lease Right with a duration of at least ten but fewer than thirty years is to be established, the provisions of Articles 3 through 8, 13 and 18 shall not apply.
(3) Contracts with the objective of establishing Land Lease Rights as prescribed in the preceding two paragraphs shall be made by a notarial deed.
c. Land lease for the purpose of other than building ownership
The lessor and lessee may basically decide the duration of land lease for the purpose of other than building ownership; however, the duration may not exceed fifty years. While the maximum term was twenty years, it was extended by revision of Civil Code on April first, 2020.
*Civil Code
(Duration of Lease)
Article 604: (1) The duration of a lease may not exceed 50 years. Even if the contract prescribes a longer term, that term is considered to be 50 years.
(2) The duration of a lease may be renewed; provided, however, that the term may not exceed 50 years from the time of the renewal.
What types of Building lease exist?
Building lease can be broadly classified into two types: ordinary building lease and fixed-term building lease. The lessee has right to request renewal of the former lease contract; however, there is no such right regarding the latter lease contract. Act on Land and Building Leases is applied to building lease regardless of the purpose of the contract.
How long is the building lease term?
The lessor and lessee may basically decide the duration of building lease for the purpose of other than building ownership; however, a building lease having a period of less than one year shall be deemed to be a building lease having no prescribed period by the Act on Land and Building Leases. Maximum of duration does not exist.
(Period of the Building Lease)
Article 29: (1) A building lease having a period of less than one year shall be deemed to be a building lease having no prescribed period.
(2) The provisions of Article 604 of the Civil Code shall not apply to building leases.
If the lessee breaches the lease agreement, what kind of rights can the lessor exercise?
If the lessee breaches the lease agreement (e.g., delay in payment of the rent), the lessor may cancel the contract under the Civil Code. However, significant breach that dissolves the relationship of mutual trust between the parties of the lease agreement is required to entitle a lessor to cancel the contract under case law. For example, the lessor cannot cancel the lease contract by only one delay of rent regardless of provisions of the lease contract.
Check the column "Solutions of Legal Dispute on Real Estate"
Check the column "How to evict the tenant from your building?"
Check the column "How long non-payment is enough to evict the tenant?"
(Cancellation After Demand)
Article 541 If one of the parties does not perform that party's obligation, and the other party demands performance of that obligation, specifying a reasonable period of time, but no performance is completed during that period, the other party may cancel the contract; provided, however, that this does not apply if the non-performance of the obligations upon the passage of the period is minor in light of the contract and the common sense in the transaction.
(Cancellation Without Demand)
Article 542 (1) In the following cases, the obligee may immediately cancel the contract without making the demand referred to in the preceding Article:
(i) if the performance of the whole of the obligation is impossible;
(ii) if the obligor unequivocally manifests the intention to refuse to perform the obligation in whole;
(iii) if the performance of part of the obligation is impossible, or if the obligor clearly manifests the intention to refuse to perform part of the obligation and the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved by the performance of the remaining part of the obligation;
(iv) if, due to the nature of the contract or a manifestation of intention by the parties, the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved unless the obligation is performed at a specific time on a specific date or within a certain period of time, and the obligor fails to perform the obligation at that time or before that period of time expires; or
(v) beyond the cases set forth in the preceding items, if the obligor does not perform the obligation and it is obvious that the obligor is unlikely to perform the obligation to the extent necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract even if the obligee makes the demand referred to in the preceding Article.
(2) In the following cases, the obligee may immediately cancel a part of the contract without making the demand referred to in the preceding Article:
(i) the performance of the part of the obligation is impossible; or
(ii) the obligor clearly manifests the intention to refuse to perform the part of the obligation.

POSEIDON PROJECT
Dynamic information-centric systems-of-systems
Introduction Research challenge Organisation Publications
Today's modern high tech systems offer a previously unparalleled variety of feasible applications, made possible by a trend of increasing interactions and collaborations between systems, and their sharing of information, processes, and resources. Altogether, this led to systems whose components are highly complex systems in themselves, called Systems of Systems, abbreviated by SoS.
For well defined situations and applications, the distribution of tasks and resources might be defined in advance, thus regulating the resulting collaboration as well as the integration of the individual systems during implementation. This approach, however, restricts a SoS to its predefined task and configuration, and consumes a considerable amount of resources and time, especially if it becomes necessary to modify the engineered system. The resulting limits on a system of systems flexibility and its abilities to adapt to new scenarios and configurations, as well as to evolve to cover new applications or technologies are no longer acceptable: Future SoS are expected to react adequately to ad-hoc changes, to enable collaboration across former boundaries, to deal with the unexpected, to offer possibilities.
The Poseidon project rises to the challenge to discover new ways on how to build such advanced systems of systems, and therefore on how to allow for flexibility, adaptability and evolvability in systems of systems while ensuring reliability – a crucial requirement, not only in the domain of maritime safety systems that provides Poseidon's exemplary application and the industrial laboratory needed for its success.
Research challenge and approach
The challenge of developing advanced system of systems is to gain flexibility, adaptability and evolvability while retaining reliability at the same time. Any change in the SoS configuration should be achievable with adequate efforts and the system should always remain operational and reliable, even given unforeseen events, scenarios, and applications.
Given the information-centric operations of such systems of systems, the Poseidon project will provide evidence for meeting this challenge within the context of the application domain by fulfilling the following primary goals:
Development of a system of systems architecture beneficial to adaptability and evolvability.
Development of an integration and acceptance methodology for reliable dynamic (re-)configurations of the system of system.
Trustworthy fusion and processing of information originating from a variety of sources that differ in type, role, syntax, and semantics.
Intelligent analysis of the available information to solve the application tasks.
The research will thus have strong multi-disciplinary aspects, requiring expertise in different technical and scientific domains, including object behavior analysis, machine learning, information visualization, system reasoning, information fusion, information relationship modeling, trust management, run-time integration, and acceptance test techniques. To be successful, it will be needed to establish meaningful combinations of the analytic, modeling, and implementation techniques of the various disciplines.
The research activities will be guided by three lines of attention:
Information analysis and visualization, covering
data pre-processing and feature extraction;
anomaly detection and situation awareness;
multi-objective visualization of data.
Trustworthy information interoperability, covering
ontology engineering and semantic alignment;
managing and enacting security policies in presence of dynamic coalitions.
Integration and acceptance, covering
model-based methods, techniques, and tools for testing, monitoring and diagnosis;
workflow modeling and realization for integration and acceptance processes;
automatic adapter generation for integration of subsystems;
process-mining to discover interface processes and check conformance;
analysis of testability and diagnosability and their influence on the SoS.
Partners and project organisation
Poseidon is a joint project of a consortium of industrial and academic partners. The Embedded Systems Institute (ESI) has the responsibility for project management and knowledge dissemination. Also, ESI Research Fellows coach and supplement the research activities of the academic partners.
Thales Above Water Systems Division, the carrying industrial partner, provides the industrial challenge, expert knowledge in the domain of Maritime Safety and Security Systems, and specialized facilities, e.g. for simulations, experiments, and prototyping. The Above Water Systems Division is part of the Thales Group, a global electronics company delivering mission-critical information systems and services for the Aerospace, Defense, and Security markets. Second participating industrial partner is Noldus Technology, a research driven company that provides professional software and instrumentation for the collection and analysis of behavioral data.
The academic partners are Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, Tilburg University, University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam.
For part of the project time, researchers are co-located at the ESI facilities or at Thales in Hengelo.
Poseidon started in June 2007, and is partly funded by the Dutch Government.

Crews attend traffic collision in Bricket Wood during recent strike
Debbie White
Published: 4:52 PM January 2, 2014
Two fire engines attended the incident in Bricket Wood - Credit: Archant
Reserve crews covering for firefighters on strike over New Year's Eve were called to Bricket Wood after a car crashed into a tree.
Two fire engines attended the incident on Smug Oak Lane at 9.16pm on Tuesday (31) with crews using hydraulic cutting equipment to free one trapped person, before helping paramedics give first aid.
It was one of four 999 calls made county-wide to crews standing-in for striking firefighters between 6.30pm and 12.30am.
There has been a long-running dispute with the Government over proposed pension changes.
Roy Wilsher, Chief Fire Officer, said: "Fortunately we had a relatively quiet night in Hertfordshire. The contingency plans that were put in place have stood up well. We would like to once again thank everyone who took extra care during the strike action."
Herts county council's cabinet member for community safety Cllr Richard Thake said: "We are extremely disappointed that further walk-outs took place, and we continue to hope for a speedy resolution to this ongoing dispute."
Another strike is planned for tomorrow (Friday) from 6.30-8.30am.

Wartime Bridge: The Legacy of the Bailey Truss
Photo taken by Kevin Skow.
One will find this one anywhere. Even on the backroads like this one: a single span truss span spanning Soldier River just south of Iowa Hwy. 141 in Crawford County. The bridge was erected here in 1957 to replace a span destroyed during the great flood of 1945. At 90 feet, one would think a through truss span could have fit here. Yet the span is a pony truss and it was put together in layers and put together with bolts. A set of Tinker Toys that was put together easily with the purpose of ensuring even the heaviest vehicles- in this case, farm equipment like tractors- would be allowed to cross it. One has to assume that it was imported somewhere where it had a purpose.
And it was. This span is an example of a Bailey Truss bridge. And even though one can find them here and there, in the farmlands of Iowa to the steep hills of central Saxony, even to the far east, such as India, Australia and New Zealand. Bailey Trusses were unique because all they require is a few metal beams and bolts, combined with manpower, and the bridge is put together in an instant. Bailey Trusses were the works of a brillant engineer and and without his expertise, it would not have won World War II. As Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, the British commander, once said. "It was the best thing in that line we ever had; without the Bailey Bridge we should not have won the war."
Who was that brillant engineer? Sir Donald Coleman Bailey.

Bailey was born on 15 September, 1901 in Rotherham in Yorkshire. He obtained a degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Sheffield in 1923 and was a civil servant in the War Department when the war broke out in 1939. The concept of the Bailey Truss was developed in 1936, when Bailey scribbled the design on the back of an envelope. His idea was that prefabricated sections that were interchangable could be deployed to the war front and, with steel pins, soldiers could construct the span, which would be anchored on one side and connected on the other side by the use of force. No heavy equipment would be needed to construct a temporary span, and the parts could be transported with the basic equipment or with man power from one place to another because of their lightweight. Constructing them would be easy for it could be achieved within hours, instead of months. For the war effort, the concept of makeshift bridge construction in the shortest time span possible was of utmost importance in order to win the war.
Firstly ignored, Bailey's truss design was accepted in 1941 when the Ministry of Supply requested that Bailey construct a full scale span completed by May 1st. The design was successfully tested at the Experimental Bridging Establishment (EBE), in Christchurch, Hampshire, with several parts being provided by Braithwaite & Co. The first prototype was tested in 1941. For early tests, the bridge was laid across a field, about 2 feet (0.61 m) above the ground, and several Mark V tanks were filled with pig iron and stacked upon each other. Another prototype was constructed in 1943 at Stanpit Marsh also in Dorset and was proven successful. That span still exists to this day. After a series of successful trials, the Corps of Royal Engineers introduced the Bailey Truss as a means of construction in 1942 and companies began constructing parts for the Bailey Truss to be transported to the war front.
Use in World War II:
The first Bailey Truss was constructed over Medjerda River near Medjez el Bab in Tunisia on the night of 26 November 1942 by the by 237 Field Company R.E. After learning about the bridge's success, both the Canadians and Americans embraced the truss and started their own production to complement that of Britain. Detroit Steel Products Company, the American Elevator Company and the Commercial Shearing and Stamping Company were three of dozens of companies that constructed the Bailey Trusses in the US, which was known as the Portable Panel Bridge. In total, over 600 firms were involved in the making of over 200 miles of bridges using the Bailey design, composing of 500,000 tons, or 700,000 panels of bridging during the war- at the height of the war, the number was at 20,000 panels that were produced and transported. Bailey Trusses were used successfully for transporting military equipment and supplies during the war, including the Normandy and Italy. American troops built over 3200 Bailey Trusses in Italy as they advanced through the Alps into Germany from the south. The longest bridge there was located over the Sangro and had a span of 1200 feet.
Bailey Trusses were also implemented in Germany, when hundreds of key structures were imploded by the Nazis as a way to slowing or stopping the advancement of Allied Troops. This included the bridges along the Rivers Rhine and Main. Canadians were credited for building the longest Bailey Bridge during the war. The Blackfriars Bridge, a 1814 foot long (558 meters) over the River Rhine at Rees, in North Rhine-Westphalia, was the longest span in the world when it opened to traffic on 28 March, 1945.

Even when the war ended on May 7th, 1945, Bailey trusses were in use as temporary crossings while the bridges were either repaired or rebuilt throughout Germany. It had a dual purpose: To help displaced residence get around and to allow for the transportation of necessary goods needed while the country was being rebuilt. Some of them were made permanent, while others, including the major crossings along the Rhine, Main and Elbe were temporary, allowing time for the original structures to be either repaired or rebuilt fully.

After World War II:
When the war was over, there was a surplus of Bailey spans that were available for reuse. This allowed for Americans, British and Canadians alike to reuse them for various projects. Many of them made their way to Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, where counties in the western half of the state needed at least temporary crossings to replace the spans that were destroyed during the floods of 1945 and again in 1952. Some examples still remain in use today. Bailey trusses were used as temporary crossings as bridges were being replaced. In the case of a viaduct in Maryland, the Bailey spans were built prior to the original trestle being replaced with steel trestles.
Large numbers of Bailey truss spans were built in mountainous areas in California where constructing bridges to accomodate travelers was difficult because of the steep, rocky terrain. Some of the spans were part of the ACROW bridge- temporarily built as moveable bridges. The Fore River Bridge and the Lynn Baschule Bridge both in Massachusetts are classic examples of such Bailey Trusses used. Bailey trusses were also used as extra support for the truss bridge, as is the case with the Haiti Island Bridge in New York, which happened in 2007. The span and the truss bridge itself were replaced three years later.
Ontario had the largest number of Bailey truss spans for the years after the war, with the spans being built in and around Toronto in response to damages caused by Hurricane Hazel. The Finch Avenue Bridge is the last of its kind and is now a historic landmark. The Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission used some for their office and as walkways. And lastly, Australia built several Bailey bridges, including the world record holder, a 2585-foot (788 meter), two-lane structure over the Derwent River at Hobart, which was constructed in 1975. It served as a temporary structure before the Tasman Bridge was opened to traffic on October 8, 1977. Later, Bailey Truss Bridges were constructed in the far east, including northern Africa, Suriname, and India. Many of them, like the trestle at Wadi el Kuf in Lybia were built by the British during the time of its Empire.

The Legacy of Bailey:
Many scholars and even those who served in the military during WWII believed that the Bailey Truss was the key to mobilizing Allied Troops and securing a victory over Germany and Italy in World War II. As a result, Mr. Bailey received several international accolades for his work. In Britain alone, he was given the Knighthood on 1 January, 1946 and the Commander of the Order of Orange-Nassau exactly two years later. By that time, Bailey was living in Southbourne in Bournemouth and was unaware that he had been knighted until one of the girls at the bank had informed him about it. Bailey would live out his days in Bournemouth, where he died in 1985.
He was considered a quiet man but one where he left a footprint with his truss bridge design, which is still widely used in bridge construction, big and small. And while the successes of World War II fell to the common person who fought for freedom and democracy, Bailey was considered one that played a key role, not only in helping bring an end to the war, but to help rebuild the areas ravaged by war with the Bailey Truss. And when you see a bridge like this one below, one will see how the use of simple parts and tools, combined with the use of manpower could make a work of simple art, something we still see today on our roads.

Memorials:
There are not many memorials dedicated to Bailey, even in Britain, for most of the places where he lived have been razed and replaced with newer housing. Yet the prototype Bailey span at Stanpit Marsh still exists today and his birthplace at 24 Albany Street in Rotherham still stands albeit privately owned. Yet there are some companies that specialize in Bailey trusses, including one in Alabama that bears its name. Bailey trusses were rarely used in films, except one based on the battle of Arnhem, A Bridge Too Far, released in 1977. There, the Bailey Truss Bridge was used in the film.
It is really hoped that a statue and/or additional honors, even a museum would be created honoring Bailey for his life and works. 75 years after the end of the great war, nothing of that sort has been considered. This should be considered, especially as talk of the significance of World War II is disappearing together with the War Generation and the children of the Baby Boom that followed. For historians, bridge enthusiasts, teachers and the public in general, it would produce some great talks about the common man who did great things and became Sir Donald Bailey in the end.

Tanche og Tank er en eller flere dansk-norske slægter fra Haderslev.

Til slægten med navnet Tank hørte blandt andre norsk statsråd Carsten Tank og hans søn, til De forenede stater udvandrede missionær Otto Tank.

Det påståes, at en slægt Tanch blev adlet af kejser Karl IV af Det tysk-romerske rige. Det er ukendt om Martin Tanche, tilhørte samme slægt. Han modtog i 1643 bekræftelse fra Christian IV til Danmark og Norge som dansk-norsk adel.

Navnet Tanche benyttes i Nord-Norge og Danmark. Den østlandske, norske slægt har navneformen Tank.

China's Planned Space Station to Support Hundreds of Experiments
Science facilities on China's planned Tiangong space station could support hundreds of space research projects after it's completed in 2022. Sixteen experiment racks will be installed in the core module and two lab capsules of the space station, and an extravehicular experiment platform will be built.
Each rack is regarded as a lab that can support various space experiments, and astronauts can upgrade and replace the facilities.
In addition, a capsule holding a large optical telescope will fly in the same orbit as the station, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization (CSU) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The facilities will support a large number of research projects in fields such as astronomy, space life science, biotechnology, microgravity basic physics and space materials science.
The CSU has made breakthroughs in key technologies and a test version of the experiment racks in the core module is almost finished, said Wang Ke, director of the CSU Integration Technology Center.
At about 1.8 meters high, 1 meter wide and 900 cm deep, each rack weighs less than 500 kg.
Although the racks are smaller with about half the weight of the racks on the International Space Station (ISS), they could have similar and even better performance. "We believe more important scientific results can be achieved on China's space station," said Wang.
The space station will carry a hydrogen clock, a cold atomic clock and an optical clock to establish a high-precision time and frequency system.
"The margin of error is less than 1 second every 3 billion years," said Zhang Wei, director of the Utilization Development Center of CSU.
The time and frequency system, as well as an ultra-low temperature cold atomic experiment system, will support research in general relativity, gravitational physics and quantum physics, said Zhang.
The 2-meter-caliber space telescope, which will share the same orbit, is expected to help scientists understand the mechanism of the accelerated expansion of the universe, dark energy and dark matter, the origin and evolution of the universe and life, Zhang said.
Scientists will also conduct space life science and biotechnology experiments on the station to study how human beings might live in space for long periods, and develop new medicines.
Research on fluids, combustion and materials science under microgravity conditions could help lay the foundation for future space exploration and utilization of space resources.
China is accelerating its timetable for the Tiangong space station, with the core module expected to be launched in 2020 and completion around 2022.
Weighing 66 tonnes, the space station will be a T shape with the Tianhe core module at the center and the Wentian and Mengtian lab capsules on each side.
The station, orbiting 340 to 450 kilometers above the Earth's surface, could be enlarged to 180 tonnes if required and accommodate three to six astronauts. It is designed to last at least 10 years, but this could be prolonged through in-orbit maintenance, Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned space program, has said.
China is seeking international collaboration in experiments on the station to promote sustainable global development and cooperation.
Almost 100 international cooperation proposals have been received, and about 30 have passed the initial evaluation, said Zhang.

I have been working in new media for over ten years across the fields of video production, website development and event management. I'm a keen content creator and run four personal blog sites, across different subject areas, two of these just for fun!
My background in event management and promotion has given me a sense of what attracts people and a variety of interesting techniques to keep them engaged. I'm a big advocate of content being the key to a successful online presence, along with being nice to Google, so am currently undertaking traing to become a certified Google Search Professional.
In addition I have a great deal of experience in delivering training on the WordPress platform. I've helped a wide range of individuals, from excluded school children to college lecturers to build their own websites and have them up and running in a matter of hours.
After my degree in Environmental Science and Business Management, I started working in the voluntary sector with conservation and youth organisations. I first got involved in websites over ten years ago as a volunteer website manager for Cardiff Friends of the Earth. I developed my web and other skills whilst employed as the network coordinator for a network of international aid organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children, CAFOD and Christian Aid, as well as smaller organisations within the field. That role covered all aspects of organisational coordination and external communications. I then went on to read for a PhD in decision-making for sustainable development.
My interests in conservation and growing vegetables led me to move to rural Wales in 2008, where I produce a lot of my own food and manage the land as a nature reserve. Read more on my blog.

Sunday's supermoon will be biggest and brightest full moon this year
(FOX 13) - Skies will be bright with the light of a Full Cold Moon Sunday night.
The full moon will be the first and last supermoon of 2017 and it's expected to be spectacular.
According to NASA, supermoons happen when the moon is full at the point in its orbit at which it is closest to Earth, also known as the moon's perigee.
FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto says, because it's so close to Earth, a super full moon looks about 7 percent bigger and about 16 percent brighter than an average full moon.
The moon will be totally full at 10:47 a.m. EST on Sunday, December 3 and reaches perigee Dec. 4 at 3:45 a.m. EST, according to Space.com.


Outgoing chief executive Leung Chun-ying seems to be doing his level best to make it impossible for his successor to follow through on her pledge to heal and unify a bitterly divided Hong Kong.
Indeed, as former chief secretary Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor prepares to move into Government House on July 1 with promises of a more inclusive government and a new spirit of cooperation and conciliation between the executive and legislative branches, Leung carries on with his divide-and-conquer master plan.

One might hope that, during this critical transitional period, Leung would swallow his wounded pride and make the handover of power as seamless as possible for Lam. Instead, his administration stubbornly insists on maintaining an unpopular, mind-numbing testing scheme for primary three pupils that she – along with a majority of the 70 members of the Legislative Council (LegCo), including some from the pro-establishment bloc – firmly opposes.
Moreover, in an act that no one believes was coincidental, the Hong Kong police chose the day after Lam's decisive election victory (she won the votes of 777 of the 1,194 Election Committee members) to charge nine leaders of the 2014 Occupy movement with creating a public nuisance, a rarely employed indictment pulled from a dusty closet of Hong Kong's colonial past especially for this occasion.
Let's also remember that, thanks to an earlier Leung administration legal initiative, four pro-democracy lawmakers are currently on trial for violating the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance last October, when they turned their swearing-in formalities into anti-government protests. Depending on the verdict, they may soon be booted out of Legco, joining the previously ousted Youngspiration duo of Sixtus Baggio Leung Chung-hang and Yau Wai-ching in legislative exile.
So much for calls for healing and unity in Hong Kong. This feels more like war.
Unfortunately, it's a war Lam will inherit come July. Will she lower the battle flags or keep charging forward into a deepening pit of partisan conflict?
Four lawmakers facing legal challenges (L-R): Nathan Law, Edward Yiu, Lau Siu-lai, Leung Kwok-hung. Photo: Lau Siu-lai via Facebook.
Consider this: As Lam assumes office, possible jail sentences will loom for the principal Occupy organisers – Benny Tai Yiu-ting, the Reverend Chu Yiu-ming, and Dr Chan Kin-man. Meanwhile, one or more of the four lawmakers on trial for allegedly violating their oaths of office – Leung Kwok-hung, Nathan Law Kwun-chung, Edward Yiu Chung-yim and Lau Siu-lai – may have been unseated, placing a toxic seal on Leung's five years in office.
Given that scenario, the political atmosphere would be so poisoned that no leader who is human could be expected to bring together the feuding factions of Hong Kong – let alone a figure handpicked by Beijing who trailed her chief rival, former financial secretary John Tsang Chun-wah, by nearly 20 points in public opinion polls leading up to the small-circle election.
Of course, conspiracy theorists who denounce Lam as "C.Y. 2.0" think that she, Leung and the central government's liaison office are all acting in perfectly choreographed unison to eradicate the words "independence" and "self-determination" from the Hong Kong vocabulary while also delivering a serious body blow to the pan-democratic camp in LegCo. But they give too much credit to each of the supposedly conspiring parties.
It's true that both the Hong Kong and central governments want to stamp out calls for independence and keep the pan-dems at bay, but disagreements about the methods and strategies to be used to this end are also apparent; otherwise, Leung would be starting his second term on July 1 and Lam would be easing into the retirement she had planned before Beijing tapped her on the proverbial shoulder.
Lam would prefer not to inherit the leadership of a city that is even more torn by political strife and protest than it was before her election—yet that very well may be what she gets.

Leung's actions over the past week amount to a combative assertion that, although Hong Kong has chosen a new leader, for the next three months he is still in charge and will be calling the shots in his uniquely antipathetic way. That cannot please Lam, who spent last week reaching rather than lashing out.
Leung's aggressive moves against rebel lawmakers and the Occupy leaders no doubt please the hard-line mandarins in Beijing, however – and, lest we forget, they are the ones who truly matter. The real question, then, is not what Lam plans to do for Hong Kong over the next five years but, rather, what the leadership in Beijing will allow her to do. She is not "C.Y. 2.0," but she may be required to act like one.
Lam, a devout Catholic, has said that God directed her to enter the race for chief executive despite her lack of popular support and her poor prospects of success if she won. Maybe this is her fatalistic Catholic way of telling us that, in a battle between God and the Communist Party of China, we all know the party is going to win.


Let's assume that you have 4 Arduinos in 4 different corners of your house and you want to monitor and log the temperature, humidity and light intensity in these corners. Then for using InfluxDB for your great home environment monitoring you need only one database in InfluxDB. Let's call the database 'embedonix'.
Each entry in a database is called a "Measurement" in InfluxDB terms and each "Measurement" consists of "Tag(s)" and "Value(s)". The tags, usually being a string or an integer, are signifying a spatial concept e.g. what is the source of values and where does it come from. The values associated with tags are just the values!
So in our scenario, we need a few tags for better extraction and filtering of data from the database. These tags can be 'SOURCE=arduino_n' where n is the ID you assign to your Arduinos, and another tag might be 'PLACE=kitchen' or 'PLACE=garage'…you get the idea. Then comes the values, which for our case would be something like 'TEMP=20', 'HUMIDITY=85.7', 'LIGHT=780.98'.
Now you can start inserting data in the newly created database (in this tutorial we assume the name is embedonix).
As you can see above, the POST is requested to the write script with the db argument set to the name of the database we want to put data in (here, '/write?db=embedonix'). After the Content-Length there is a blank line that tells the HTTP parser that the actual content starts here. The Content-Length is important to be exactly as the number of characters in the data, otherwise, the HTTP parser will refuse to handle the request!
In the next section, we will see how we can write data in InfluxDB using Arduino.

This early Cape Town Historical Visitor Attraction showcases a unique Cultural Tourism journey commencing from the original shoreline which has been buried for 140 years where the ruins of the Chavonnes Battery rest. Built in 1724, the first in a range of VOC coastal defences to deter sea-borne aggressors and named after the Governor, its stable firing platform with 16 large cannons enabled gunners to bring accurate fire to bear on hostile ships from its perch as watchdog of the bay.
The Chavonnes Battery was partially demolished and buried in 1860, its stone reused for the Alfred Basin adjacent to the Clock Tower, its new sentinel in SA's oldest working harbour. In 1999, the Chavonnes Battery was re-discovered, excavated and conserved in architectural ingenuity.
Visitors are invited to don an 18th Century tricorn hat and step below sea-level for fascinating perspectives of the 17th to 19th Century Cape Town. On the shoreline, it starts at a time of postal stones, shipwrecks and isolation wards, soldiers and slaves, exiles and explorers, locals and settlers, knechts and convicts. Displays show the result of the excavation work, including a magic carpet and a (wishing) well. Detailed models depict the battery in its heyday, a bird's-eye view of Cape Town and Table Bay and detailed displays about cannonry. Explore the largest selection of muzzle loaded cannons in the country. Witness the loading and firing of a cannon, fire off a shot, enjoy marching drills and flag raising routines. Where memories are made and pictures shared.
Our guides dressed in period costume share stories of the people and events that led to the birth of Cape Town in the museum and The V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour includes points of interest and fascinating historical relics of the early days, such as the rocket lifesaving apparatus, the first power station, the last boom defence vessel and the rat catcher's cottage and those added later as the harbour developed, such as the torture Treadmill, still to be seen, if you let us show you.
With split levels and outdoor flow, Table Mountain and the V&A your backdrop, this exclusive location has hosted the prestigious Da Vinci The Genius travelling exhibition, cocktail parties, themed events, book and product launches, corporate and government workshops and seminars.

'Secret Invasion's Emilia Clarke Praises Marvel Studios, Calls Them "Absolutely Brilliant"
Marvel Studios has been in the focus for a variety of reasons. No matter where one lands, the discussion may never truly end especially on the wide vast internet. Still, there are many sides to any production company, and it seems that the former Game of Thrones star has some kind words for Marvel Studios.
In a new interview with IndieWire, Emilia Clarke got a chance to look back at her past with Disney's other major franchise Star Wars while also sharing some excitement about her time with Secret Invasion. It seems that she'd a "wicked time" working with them and calls them "absolutely brilliant."
I'm genuinely having a wicked time on Marvel, though, they're absolutely brilliant.
It's certainly high praise for Marvel Studios, which has tended to be under flack from Social Media and some industry experts. Some veteran directors even take shots at the modern blockbuster style that these comic book film adaptations offer. Ethan Hawke did point out that the studio "loves actors" and their studio approach gives the various directors that work on their films more flexibility in adapting elements by normalizing reshoots.
The biggest issue facing Marvel Studios has been the growing demand for CG work on their projects and with last-minute changes happening frequently, it adds more pressure to an industry that has a difficult model similar to marketing agencies. Not everything is as black and white but it always remains interesting to see just how varied experiences are on any project in Hollywood.

Home » Is Jesus God? Or Messiah? » According to Isaiah 9:6… Is Jesus Mighty God?
According to Isaiah 9:6… Is Jesus Mighty God?
If we set aside that about whom the above prophecy had been prophesied, what the noticeable fact is that the Apostle of Jesus and Paul, who had mentioned so many prophecies about Jesus, never ever have proclaimed basing on the above prophecy, saying as Jesus is Mighty God. But what curious to know is that Paul who had mentioned so many prophecies about Jesus, proclaimed "Jesus is Christ" as follows.
Why did not Paul, who had reasoned form the so many prophecies with the Jews for the three Sabbaths saying that Jesus "Christ", ever have reasoned saying Jesus is God according to Isaiah 9:6 as propagated by the preaches of now a days? And why only Paul has explained Jesus is Christ form the so many prophecies? Every Christian should think over this point.
If Jesus really a mighty God according as to Isaiah 9:6 as contended by the present day church, could Jesus ever have proclaimed "I can of myself do nothing?" Even Jesus does not have the authority or the own powers to take any decision with his own will according to the following verse.
According to the above verses Jesus neither possess any own powers in this world nor does not have any authority even in the heaven also. If this be case, to say Jesus is mighty God or equal to or incarnate of God becomes complete meaningless.
What are those prophecies that have been fulfilled in case of Jesus?
We can see the above prophecy to have been fulfilled in Matthew 12:16-17 as follows.
According to the above fulfilment, the Apostle of Jesus might have proclaimed as follows.
Another prophecy that have been fulfilled in case of Jesus?
We can see the above prophecy to have been fulfilled in Hebrews 7:20-22 as follows.
Thus according to the above fulfillment of the prophecy mentioned by Paul it is clear that Jesus becomes as Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek by the swear of God, but he does not becomes as God according to the prophecy Isaiah 9:6 as proclaimed by the church.

A pork loin joint or pork loin roast is a larger section of the loin which is roasted. It can take two forms: 'bone in', which still has the loin ribs attached, or 'boneless', which is often tied with butchers string to prevent the roast from falling apart. Pork rind may be added to the fat side of the joint to give a desirable crackling which the loin otherwise lacks.

I've not previously had the pleasure of reading anything by Colin F. Barnes before, but I came across him recently on the wonderful medium that is Twitter. A brief conversation later and I decided to take the plunge on an unknown author and take a look at The Daedalus Code—a cyberpunk novella set in an all-too-believable future. I've since found out Barnes has another novella, a novel (very soon to be two novels) and a bunch of short stories under his belt. Not to spoil this review before it starts, but more of his work has suddenly made it to my 'To Read' list.
The world has changed. Crete (now 'New Crete') is the financial and technical centre of the world, a world where information is not just king, it is the only thing, and the divide between the haves and have-nots is effectively uncrossable.
New Crete is built across 10 levels—a hierarchy both physically and practically; the top couple are the mega-rich and those born into privilege; the middle few are as high as one who is not born into the upper crust can expect to climb and the bottom levels are best not spoken of. Everyone links into an all-encompassing web of information via Personal Reality (PR) units—head pieces that can deliver information, entertainment, artificial highs and matrix-style scenarios—effectively what Google Glass dreams of being when it grows up.
We open with agents Phaedra and Aegeus of New Crete's Intelligent Data Enforcement Agency (IDEA) investigating the disappearance of a series of children of the wealthy, all of whom specialise in Artificial Intelligence research. Unfortunately, since IDEA is as much a box-ticking exercise by the powers that be as a law-enforcement body, our agents find their hands somewhat tied during the investigation. Enter Mouse, the resourceful hacker and real protagonist of the story.
Mouse's investigations take him on stealth missions to the upper levels of New Crete and down into the bowels of the lower levels, which would have the feel of the Undercity in Demolition Man if it had been dipped in a sump and left to rot for a year. The secrets and corruption he uncovers threaten to shake the very foundations of society.
In every work of fiction there is a delicate balance between leaving too much to the imagination and giving a big information download with a Star Wars-esque scrolling prologue. What is impressive about The Daedalus Code is the fact that Barnes is able to build such a believable dystopian society with a minimal download, outside the first 3-4 pages. The rest of the world became clear as the characters wandered through it. The main characters also had sufficient dark background and flaws to be believable.
My biggest gripe with The Daedalus Code was that, given the scope of the story, it was squeezed into a novella. The pace of the story was breakneck out of necessity, but I would have loved for it to be teased out into a longer format to allow sufficient time for everything to unfold. However, given the format, this is a story that can be devoured in a single sitting, so if you're into cyberpunk dystopian futures there's really no reason not to give this a go.
Colin F Barnes keeps his cyber household over at http://www.colinfbarnes.com/ but is also active and very approachable across social media.

I am married to Tabitha Bailey, a history teacher at Shattuck. Our daughter, Kaitlin Amelia Bailey, is age 8. Our pets include our dog Rosa and cats Cady and Eclipse.
The rewards are tangible and often instantaneous. To see a student grasp a complex economic model, or a soccer player execute something we practiced is a great feeling. Nothing beats seeing the light bulb go on!
Fishing, hiking and camping with my family, playing golf.


I have been blessed with the best teacher.. My MOM she always told me never judge anyone, Always keep a open mind, Speak your mind, be you and most of all keep a promise.
Well I first off want to say thank you for reading my blog, I write in a juarnal every night. It helps me shut this brain down at night. Everything you read will be what went on that day, my thoughts, feelings and yes my point of view. When I write it's keeps me level. Please forgive my spelling.
I will always make up names to protect love ones…. I will always say it like it happen…..

I have an existing app that has a FeatureTable populated by a FeatureLayer that has been created client side from the results of a query. I recently migrated the app from 3.16 to 3.17 and was pleased to see that a few issues have been resolved but a new one popped up which is that I can no longer sort the table.
When I click on the column header I don't get the popup menu that allows the user to choose ascending or descending. I also don't get any console errors.
I can reproduce the problem you are running into and thank you for reporting it. Unfortunately, I could not find a workaround. I will let you know if I find a workaround.
Thanks for your reply, Undral.
Here's a quick and dirty workaround that I came up with, in case anyone else needs this functionality. I'd be interested in hearing if someone has a more elegant solution.
After creating the feature table, I create the menu that allows the user to choose the direction of sorting. By specifying the targetNodeId and selector properties it will appear as the context menu when the user right clicks a column header.
The only way I could see to capture the name of the field to be sorted was to grab it from the contextmenu event of the column header.
Finally, do the sorting when the menu item is clicked.
