Landmark agreement reached on Circular Economy Package
By Edward Perchard | 18 December 2017 | Add a Comment
A compromise has been reached over long-term recycling targets in Europe after EU institutions finally came to an agreement on legislative terms for the Circular Economy Package, a set of laws and actions designed to guarantee a more resource-efficient future for Europe, this morning (19 December).
A trilogue, the sixth on the four legislative proposals addressing waste, packaging waste, landfill and electrical and electronic waste, was convened on Sunday in an effort to get the legislative measures agreed before the end of the year. Following intense discussions that continued until around 4.30am, compromises have now been reached on a number of sticking points that threatened to hold up negotiations into 2018.
The Council, Parliament and Commission had been stuck on disagreements on the headline recycling and packaging targets, how they are calculated and extended producer responsibility (EPR).
However, it seems member states have won the battle over municipal recycling targets, with a 60 per cent goal for 2030 to be written into legislation. Several nations had been labelled 'laggards' for their supposed lack of ambition on targets, compared to the Commission's 65 per cent proposal and the European Parliament's argument to increase that to 70 per cent. It seems as if a compromise has been reached, however, with a further 65 per cent target being set for 2035.
An additional target of 55 per cent by 2025 will also be introduced. EU member states are currently working towards a 50 per cent target for 2020 - one that the UK looks set to miss out on.
Among the other measures reportedly agreed is a limit on waste to landfill of 10 per cent by 2035, five years later than the Commission originally proposed.
"It took us almost 18 hours and some tough negotiating to reach a provisional agreement, but we are pleased with the result," said a spokesperson for the Estonian presidency. "It is no secret that the Council and the Parliament have had differing views on many issues. We are very grateful to our partners' constructive attitude during this challenging trilogue and believe the outcome is a fair compromise for all sides."
The agreement comes just over two years since the Package was first published by the European Commission. It will now be presented to EU ambassadors on 20 December and will then need to be ratified by the incoming Bulgarian presidency in January. After formal approval, the new legislation will be submitted to the European Parliament for a vote at first reading and to the Council for final adoption.
Siim Kiisler, Estonia's Environment Minister, added: "We need to make every effort to move towards circular economy and I see eco-innovation as a key element in this transition. Member states are calling for a comprehensive EU policy that would cover the whole life cycle of products: this would increase transparency and make sure we don't miss any crucial elements.
"At the same time, the governments should make it as simple as possible for businesses to take innovative products to the market. On both the EU and member state level, there is huge potential in digital solutions to make the move to circular economy faster and easier."
Speaking this morning, Environment Commissioner Karmenu Vella said: "Modernising our European waste legislation will drive efforts of member states to cut the amount of waste we generate, to reduce the materials we bury and burn, and to increase re-use and recycling. The deal reached this morning will strengthen our "waste hierarchy" by placing prevention, re-use and recycling clearly above landfilling and incineration. This agreement will make our economies more resource efficient, create jobs and reduce impacts on the environment and resource depletion.
"In circular and low-carbon economies it makes no sense to send our waste to landfill. That's why I am delighted that we helped the European Parliament and Member States to agree on reducing landfill and a target for recycling our waste by 2035."
As part of the the action plan for a circular economy released as part of the package in 2015, the European Commission is currently developing a European Strategy for Plastics, which it plans to release in early 2018.
More details and reaction will be posted on resource.co throughout the day.

Taylor Swift Brother
Taylor Swift has been talked about for decades now, with her hits 'Loveitems', 'Sparks And Glitter', 'Bad Blood', 'White Horse Powerlifter', and countless others. She's among the biggest stars in country music right now, and with her new album 'Reputation' out, it seems like she will be around for a long time. But, is Taylor Swift a excellent match for your dream man, or does she simply miss the mark, which makes it a wise choice to go with somebody different?
Taylor Swift's first real relationship was recorded in her song'cautery', from her self-titled 1997 debut album Blank Space. It is about a boy who loses his cool after meeting a woman and being told he's not good enough for her because he can not dance.' C Canadier' mentions a pub where Alwyn and Swift bump into each other, where she professes her love for him. Throughout the song, there are references to a possible future where Alwyn drops for Taylor Swift. In case you have a passing interest in Swift herself, then chances are that you are going to have some positive memories of meeting and falling in love with her in the past.
The biggest question mark about Taylor Swift is whether or not she has a great singing voice, or if her music doesn't measure up to the standard already set by state musicians in the genre. There is not any doubt that Swift is pretty talented, and her music is constantly evolving. Among Swift's most impressive songs,'izzy baby', features a falsetto, along with several other amazing sounds that come nowhere close to the sound quality of many of country performers. However, while those people who follow Taylor Swift may decry her songs as having nothing fresh to offer, there are plenty of others who appreciate the effort that she puts forth, particularly in her latest album 'Reputation'.
Some people argue that Taylor Swift is becoming so popular because she's a good actress and singer. If you look at her casting album, you'll see that almost every role she's ever been in has made use of good looks and a wonderful voice. Taylor Swift is just another actress using her looks, her talent, and her voice to get herself noticed. While her career has not always been spotty, it seems that success and fame are catching up to Taylor Swift, and she is doing everything in her power to keep it that way.
If anything, Taylor Swift's recent break-up from her boyfriend goes to prove that even celebrities can get caught up in the middle of personal life and get caught up in the chaos. This is the reason Alwyn was so surprised when Taylor Swift suddenly called off their relationship. Everybody in their immediate group knew Taylor Swift and her boyfriend well, and all of them knew the couple enjoyed a strong relationship. Taylor Swift determined that it was best for her to proceed with her life, which is understandable given the recent news.
But the simple fact remains that Taylor Swift and Alwyn are not the first couple to get a breakup. How can we account for this? Are we to charge the split to Taylor Swift alone? I think not. While she might have been the individual who drew Alwyn to the connection, other factors were also present. For instance, neither the star nor her boyfriend had any interest in making their relationship into an NME Awards ceremony.
At exactly the same time, do not look back on the past when things seemed better between the two of you. After all, in the past, Taylor Swift and Alwyn were perfect together. In the future, they may still be together. So instead of giving too much importance to the split with Taylor Swift, simply attempt to enjoy the remainder of your private life.

Our selection method is reliable, fast, and rigorous. The final shortlist is always based on quality.
These are the three stages through which we ensure our great performance.
As soon as a client contacts us, we discuss their needs and develop a casting proposal taking into consideration every piece of information given such as the casting breakdown, script, storyboard, and budget requirements. The WANTED? team works on a preliminary selection of actors and models that could fit in the profiles before the casting call is issued. Agencies and representatives provide us with all their people's information and, in some cases, we can get it from our archive.
Once we have green light to move on, the open or pre-selected casting call is sent and the auditions begin. This is the critical stage: it ought to be agile so the client can get the results as soon as possible, but we must find every actor or model's potential so we can surely present the best candidates. Making people comfortable while performing or going through different registers allows us to get the best of their looks and skills.
As the casting takes place, its content is uploaded so the client can stream it online or download it on demand. When the audition session concludes, the client selects the actors or models they want to have at the callback, or sometimes those who will directly get the part. Finally, we get in touch with our providers to state the final selection and complete the casting process.

I remember that too. Sesame Street was creepy when I was a kid.
God, I remember that. Very boring. Much better now, in (slightly) more context.
As another note: Every time I watched Sesame Street, it seemed like they had a segment where they'd visit Alaska and show us a child catching 10 fish.
I burst out laughing when I happened on it, so I just had to share it. The forums made it possible! You should all go join the forums.
I found it after watching this sesame street video. I'm giving you fair warning: This song can drive you completely insane!

The Boys in the Band (William Friedkin, USA, 1970
June 20, 2020 UncategorizedAndrew Griffion, Andrew Moor, Andy Medhurst, Bryan Johnson, David Greven, Dominick Dunne, Lawrence Napper, Mart Crowley, Matt Bell, Matt Crowley, Matthew Hays, Matthew Motyka, The Boys in the Band, The Killing of Sister George, William FriedkinNotesonFilm1
When I was growing up, everything I heard or read about The Boys in the Band was terrible. Recently, after the Broadway revival, it was meant to be ´period´and wonderful. I´d never seen the film until now and found it a difficult and unpleasant watch, with some of the worst-directed acting I can remember seeing. If I´d been invited to this party, I´d have told the host to f**ck off, left within five minutes, and there would have been no play. The most interesting aspect for me was the décor (Fire Island greetings, Marlene in Concert posters), pausing the film to eye up the bookshelves (Berlin Stories, etc), the line dancing scene in the rooftop, and the wonderful pop music of the period that the characters put on (Tammy and Marvin, lots of Burt Bacharach).
Talking about it with friends (worth naming since so many of their views are drawn on and collectively summarised below: Andy Medhurst, Matthew Hays, Andrew Griffin, Matthew Motyka, David Greven, Lawrence Napper, Bryan Johnson, Andrew Moor), there were lots. of mixed feelings. Most loved the first half, where we´re introduced to each of the characters and New York seems alive with cruising, and sex and secret and hidden knowledges. They can cite by heart reams of dialogue which remain acidly witty. The camp elements of the period are still recognisable as such and still work, though I wonder if younger people will catch the extent to which all of these characters are talking through a particularly intimate and shared knowledge of the careers of Judy Garland, Joan Crawford, Marlene and Maria Montez. For other generations shared reference points would be Liza and Diana Ross, or Madonna, or Britney or Rihanna and Beyoncé. The film evokes that, brings it to life, vividly. It´s like a secret code made from knowledge of the stars.
Friends have made various comparisons. David Greven for example talks about how the film is like Rope in that it´s about the agony of and violent reaction against the closet. And one can certainly see that. Other friends such as Matthew Hays have made comparisons to Albee and Waiting for Godot and Abigail´s Party. And again those comparisons are understandable but to my mind only superficially so. I think even existential theatre has some utopian dimension that drives it, there´s no emphasis on the fun of company, even of the repartee (most of it is meant to hurt), of the joys of sex, or the pleasures in overcoming oppression or even of the pleasures in being marginal. It´s relentlessly grim, and thus I find it untrue.
I´ve seen a marvellous production of Virginia Woolf with Imelda Staunton recently and it was alive with pain and hopes and a kind of deep love within the hurt that is nowhere evident in this. I´ve also been seeing a lot of Pinter, and this certainly doesn´t have all the significant 'empty spaces' within the dialogue that he does. So he might have been inspired by Pinter but it doesn´t feel Pinteresque.
The interesting thing to me is that queer cultures continue to connect on the tangents of this work but perhaps only because that´s all the work gives you, the odd line, the camp, an imagined sense of a history of how things used to be etc. But they are tangents. All the characters are to me one dimensional stereotypes…and yet they echo something we recognise, which is what makes it interesting, but the moments where it echoes are not necessarily the best bits.
My suspicion is that the play IS better than the film. I´ve never seen the play but…even the SCREENPLAY feels better than the film. I hated almost all of the performances and I think it is the director rather than the actors that are to blame. That Emory, the queeny camp one, is meant to be an interior decorator beggars belief. We´re TOLD that but nothing in the way he dresses, acts or behaves would connote that. I can´t imagine him talking to an ageing wealthy matron about colours in a way that would lead to his hiring. So Friedkin´s direction is in some ways wonderful (in the way it moves, its use of space, the highlighting of moments) but terrible in that it shows so little understanding of the psychology of the characters represented.
I think there´s something interesting about this and Killing of Sister George, generally badly reviewed upon first release, flops, films that gays and lesbians felt they had to see because of a dearth of representation but that annoyed or appalled those same people that flocked to them (at least from the accounts we have) and that are now being re-appropriated in a somewhat ironic way by new audiences.
An afterthought but perhaps interesting. I thought the screenplay´s treatment of 'Cowboy' the hustler was appalling in that it took for granted or supported all the insults the rest of the group threw at him, normalised them in classist terms, and I actually thought the film was better than the screenplay in this instance, the camera lingered on him, made him tender and beautiful in a way not allowed by the dialogue, and gave him a symbolic curtain.
It´s a cruel and dishonest film, one that I think would have made me even more scared than I already was had I seen it as a teenager. It´s still a type of attitude from a type of world I like to stay away from, though that in itself might account for my response in contrast to that of others. And yet, by virtue of being 'first' or at least early, it´s become a kind of landmark. That is not necessarily a good thing.
I´ve been told that Matt Bell´s book on the film is wonderful and I might yet read it, though at this moment I have no plans of ever re-watching what to my mind is an unpleasant and untruthful film, albeit one with a great deal of gay input (the actors, Crowley obviously, the agonised closet queen that was Dominick Dunne etc.)
I posted a version of the above on facebook and it lead to a great discussion which in turn informed the post. I hope to hear from at least some of you and continue the process.

Eavesdropping at the Movies: 105 – They Shall Not Grow Old
Commemorating the centenary of the First World War, Peter Jackson was approached by 14-18 NOW and the Imperial War Museum to make use of their extensive archive of wartime footage. He responded to the call by performing significant alterations to it, including colourisation and conversion to 3D, hoping to present it afresh and help modern audiences feel closer to the war it documents. It's been a controversial project, surrounded by much commentary on its ethics, but after all the hype and chin-stroking, They Shall Not Grow Old – even the title of which has been edited to suit modern syntax – is finally here.
Those ethical questions occupy a good deal of our attention, justifiably so, but we find there's a good deal more to consider about the film too. Perhaps unusually for a First World War film, it eschews entirely any discussion of the political background to the war or criticism – even mention – of the top brass, instead focusing entirely on the experience, in quite general terms, of the British soldiers. Narrated entirely by some 114 different servicemen, their commentary drawn from BBC and IWM interviews, Jackson builds a portrait of a mindset of the salt-of-the-earth Tommy, keen to go to war at a tender age, open to new experience, happy to do as he's told and get on with his job under terrible, and terrifying, circumstances. It's a portrait that leaves out at least as much as it includes, and the question of how choices were made as to what footage and audio was included from the archives made available to Jackson is arguably more pressing, and certainly less clear, than that of why the footage was altered in the ways it was.
We grapple with all sort of these issues and touch on several more, particularly the traditional, unfair, untruthful, and insidious permission the film gives English audiences to believe we won the war without help – an issue that angers José, a Canadian, and rightly so. Mike also picks up on a couple of moments that struck him as of particular relevance in the age of Brexit, though that's also because it's a topic he can be relied upon to bring up at a moment's notice.
As to those pesky ethics, we come away, despite some fair criticisms, a little milquetoast on the subject. Mike has a bigger issue with the quality of the alterations than the justification, finding them genuinely unpleasant to look at for the most part, but suggests that the modifications have been so extensive that the footage has been transformed into something qualitatively different, that to take the film seriously as a document would be an act of madness. José, rather more simply, sees value in the work, pointing out how it allows us to pick out aspects of scenes, and particularly faces, more easily, and allowing a more visceral closeness to the environments depicted than we might otherwise have.
All in all, as long as the original black and white film remains extant and publicly available, and provided that, when used as teaching material, the conceptualisation and production of They Shall Not Grow Old is included as a matter for classroom discussion, we're not convinced that the film is a bad idea.

WTS WA Custom Build .223 Wylde AR-15, Built to high standard!
Discussion in 'Rifle Classifieds' started by thenabbster, Jul 11, 2018.
Year old custom built AR-15 .223 Wylde, able to shot .223 or 5.56.
This rifle has roughly 1 thousands rounds shot through it, in like new condition. I am returing to school and will not have time to shoot it, which is why its for sale.
Very little expense was spared in this build and everything was assembled by a gunsmith.
This rifle shoots like a dream and is accurate (by spec) to over 700 yards with the right optics.
Minimal recoil thanks to the JP Capture buffer spring. My loss is your gain.

/ Seagate ships world's first 8TB hard drives
Seagate ships world's first 8TB hard drives
8TB hard drives boast ultra-high capacity, energy-efficiency and the lowest TCO in the industry
by Helen GaskellSeptember 01, 2014, 11:53 AM
Horn: "Seagate is poised to address this challenge by offering the world's first 8TB HDD, a ground-breaking new solution for meeting the increased capacities needed to support the demand for high capacity storage in a world bursting with digital creation, consumption and long-term storage."
Seagate has announced it has started shipping the world's first 8TB hard disk drive with wide-scale availability expected by next quarter.
The 8TB hard drive provides customers with the highest capacity density needed to address the amount of unstructured data in an industry-standard 3.5-inch HDD.
"As our world becomes more mobile, the number of devices we use to create and consume data is driving an explosive growth in unstructured data. This places increased pressure on cloud builders to look for innovative ways to build cost-effective, high capacity storage for both private and cloud-based data centres," said Scott Horn, Seagate vice president of marketing. "Seagate is poised to address this challenge by offering the world's first 8TB HDD, a ground-breaking new solution for meeting the increased capacities needed to support the demand for high capacity storage in a world bursting with digital creation, consumption and long-term storage."
The hard drive offers low operating power consumption meaning that it conserves energy thereby reducing overall operating costs. It is the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry for cloud content, object storage and back-up disaster recovery storage.
"Public and private data centres are grappling with efficiently storing massive amounts of unstructured digital content," said John Rydning, IDC's research vice president for hard disk drives. "Seagate's new 8TB HDD provides IT managers with a new option for improving storage density in the data centre, thus helping them to tackle one of the largest and fastest growing data categories within enterprise storage economically."

An endangered river is one which has the potential to partly or fully dry up, or one that is thought to have ecological issues now or in the near future. Some such issues are natural while others are the direct result of human development. Organisations including the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have published lists of rivers at risk. The WWF's 2007 list featured the Danube, the Nile, and the Rio Grande amongst others, stating that these "once great rivers" are in danger and "can no longer be assured of reaching the sea unhindered". The US National Park Service reported in 2015 that part of the Rio Grande "often lies dry". Dangers may be the result of the natural change of conditions in the local environment but many are due to human development projects such as dams and irrigation. Humans have also caused significant water pollution which endangers life which relies upon the water source.

Importance
According to the World Resources Institute (WRI) river basins are "indispensable resources for billions of people, companies, farms, and ecosystems" but many suffer from "water stress". It states that numerous major rivers around the world have become depleted to the point that they can fail to reach their destinations. Water scarcity is a danger to all the life that depends on the source.

Dangers to rivers

Rivers face many dangers, both natural and manmade. Climate change can have a significant impact on rivers, both positive and negative. This could be seen itself as an indirect result of human developments. An area which has a reduction in rainfall or an increase in temperature can make a river fully or partially dry out. This often means that the water can no longer reach its mouth.

The flora and fauna of an area can face change and can have a substantial impact on landscape and local ecology. Invasive species can move into an area or be introduced by humans. One particular example of the latter is the case of beavers being introduced into Tierra del Fuego in 1946. While only 20 animals were transplanted into the area they quickly reproduced with no natural predator to curb numbers. Their effect on the area, through the damaging gnawing of trees and the building of their dams, has been significant enough that humans continue an attempt to undo their mistake with a program of beaver eradication. The ponds created by the beavers, which now number in the tens of thousands, have greatly contributed to the amount of organic matter retained by the rivers which then causes more problems downstream.

Specific human factors
Human interference in the form of river engineering can redirect the flow of the water using dams or channelisation. The increasing demand from irrigated agriculture, continued industrialisation, and residential use heavily impacts upon the health of river systems. This means that many areas face high levels of "baseline water stress". Rivers can be cut off from their floodplains and their normal route can be changed or disrupted significantly. If improperly managed this can have a devastating effect on the surrounding area and endanger the plants and animals that depend on them, including humans. Water pollution is another artificial danger which can be a serious threat to wildlife and human health. The Colorado River runs from the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado through four other states, parts of Mexico, and then on to the Gulf of California. Due to the human demands for water very little reaches Mexico and what does is often polluted. The Teesta River faces similar issues. The river flows through India and into Bangladesh, but India's water demands led to the part of the river in Bangladesh to dry up in 2018. If the situation continues it could be catastrophic for the local ecosystem.

The Rio Grande Project was an irrigation, hydroelectricity, flood control, and interbasin water transfer project serving the upper Rio Grande basin in the southwestern United States. It was completed in 1952 and has had a significant impact on the surrounding area. In the past, the river was wide, deep and fast-flowing in its section through Texas, where it forms a large part of the Mexico – United States border. Illegal immigrants once had to swim across the river at the border, but with the river so low immigrants need only wade across for most of the year. After leaving El Paso the Rio Grande often runs dry because so much water has been diverted away for human use. Other than extensive diversions, exotic introduced, fast-growing and water-consuming plants, such as water hyacinth and hydrilla, are also leading to reduced flows. The United States government has recently attempted to slow or stop the progress of these weeds by introducing insects and fish that feed on the invasive plants.

Reports

In 2014 a Channel 4 report suggested that the Indonesian Citarum River, forty miles east of Jakarta, may be the most polluted river in the world. Running from Mount Wayang to the Java Sea, there are over 30 million residents who rely on the river. Rapid industrialisation has had such a harmful effect that the river's surface cannot be seen for the waste and detritus floating on top of it.

World Wildlife Fund report
The WWF published on their website the "10 Rivers most at Risk", a report from March 2007. They based their criteria on major rivers which already suffer or are particularly likely in the future to suffer from six key threats: dams and infrastructure, excessive water extraction, climate change, invasive species, over-fishing, and pollution. They noted that some of the greatest rivers "can no longer be assured of reaching the sea unhindered". The ten rivers which most concerned them are:

American Rivers reports
Each year American Rivers publishes a list containing ten of "America's Most Endangered Rivers". In 2018 its criteria focused on "threats [to rivers] from the Trump administration" and they selected the Big Sunflower River as the one most endangered using their criteria. The river is one of the main tributaries of the Yazoo River in the U.S. state of Mississippi but is threatened by the Yazoo Backwater Area Pumping Plant project which they say has the potential to damage 200,000 acres of important wetland.

World Resources Institute project
The World Resources Institute's Aqueduct project evaluated, mapped, and rated the state of the water supplies for 100 river basins in areas of high population. Their list highlighted the dangers to the Qom River, Yongding River, Brantas River, and Heray Rud River amongst others.

Side-stone Engagement Rings: Just one of the many options!
Diamond, solitaire, sapphire, vintage, contemporary, gothic, traditional, halo, trio; this is just the beginning of the constant evolving list of styles of engagement rings. Whether you are after something more traditional, something utterly modern or something in between having stones set into the band on either side of the central diamond is a wonderful option.
We could forever discuss the endless options available but this would be terribly overwhelming and potentially deathly boring, especially if you are a guy diving into this world of diamonds and gold for the first time! So lets give you a brief run down on the ever so popular side-stone engagement ring and why this might be a fabulous choice for you.
Firstly, adding side stones means that you are not restricted to one particular style of ring. In actual fact, it is quite the opposite, side stones are a great way to individualise your design, adding a touch more sparkle or colour at the same time. They can be set in patterns or encircle your centre diamond to create a beautiful halo. They can bring to life that beautiful delicate look with fine claw settings, or for a more minimal look choose channel set diamonds. The most important thing to keep in mind is that side-stone diamonds are meant to enhance your centre stone, not overshadow. A good jeweller will provide you excellent design, technical advice and guide you in the right direction.
Modern Styles: If you love contemporary, clean and sleek design you might choose to have a centre stone that isn't round, such as a Princess or Asscher cut. Smaller channel set Princess or Baguette cut diamonds set into the shoulders will create a lovely modern look.
Vintage Styles: Is your style more feminine and pretty? You might look towards vintage pieces for inspiration. Draw upon the many eras of designs periods to come up you're your own unique design. Perhaps you might choose a halo of diamonds around the centre stone, with claw set diamonds set into the shoulders. Another option is to have a beautiful hand engraved pattern surrounding your shoulder set diamonds to create that vintage style look.
Add Colour: If you love colour, why not choose coloured gemstones or even coloured diamonds as your side stones? This is great solution if you are torn between diamonds and coloured gemstones. A combination that looks truly beautiful is light pink sapphires or diamonds set into a rose gold band; just have a look at Blake Lively's engagement ring, now that surely is one on every girls wish list! Or add a bit of drama with high contrasting small black diamonds in the band. Whatever you decide on coloured gemstones provide endless creative choices, guaranteeing that your engagement ring will stand alone on its own.
Whether you want something cutting edge or traditional, you should have no problem coming up with the perfect design for you.

They say every cloud has a silver lining, and the day that dark clouds brought torrential rains and dejection, they (the clouds) also brought a silver lining.
On Sunday, Aug 1, the end of camp youth All Star Games were set to start at 3:30 pm. However, the games were never played: Just 15 minutes before the game, dark clouds invaded the bright sunny skies, and brought with them torrential rain accompanied by strong winds. It seemed like it wasn't going to stop. It lasted for about 20 minutes and when it stopped, it transformed the dry field into big puddles of water.
Subsequently, to the dismay of several children who came out eager to participate in the All Star games, the games were postponed. A few kids hung around for another 45 minutes; by that time, the puddles disappeared, leaving a soaked field. I was about to go when I heard a little boy saying, "Let's go play before I have to go home." He seemed to be excited, so I stopped to watch the excitement unfold. Again, I heard the same boy complaining that he keeps falling. He was with three other kids, but he was the only one complaining. On close observation, I noticed that he was playing barefooted.
I asked, "Why?"He took his left limb from behind him for the first time and pointed to the now obvious that his limb had no hands. He then explained that at age 3, he suffered burns from a house fire - scarring primarily the left side of his body and contributing to the lost of his hand; so they called him Onenie - for one hand.
I gave Onenie a pair of shoes. He put the shoes on and was beaming with enthusiasm. He went back to play, and there was no complaint after that - just sheer excitement. I stood there watching Onenie unleash his excitment. And with one hand and two feet, he kicked his way right into my heart. Yes, the rainny clouds had disappointed many (the children who came out to play and me), but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining - encountering Onenie was that silver lining.


I share the following story with you about R.G. LeTourneau- a man who seemed to be very willing to take audacious steps of faith. I attended the university that he founded in Longview, TX and it was a turning point in my life. Later, while doing my best to live an audaciously faithful life, I found myself intersecting R.G.'s path once more- this time in Central Africa.
A hydro-electric plant, powered by the rushing waters of the Louetsi river in Gabon, served a remote missionary base and hospital called "Bongolo". In the 1940's, R.G. heard about the needs from a traveling missionary in the US and vowed to provide all the material needed to get this power plant up and running. Alace and I passed by this plant for the first of many times in 2005, and heard the story. So now, I share with you a bit more about this great man. Enjoy!
Robert G. LeTourneau was born on November 30, 1888, to godly parents. From infancy he heard the Gospel. For a time, he rejected the message, but through the faithful prayers of his parents he was, at the age of sixteen, won to Christ. At 30 he dedicated his life to be God's businessman. He recognized the danger of that dedication being dimmed by his love for his machines, but by the grace of God that commitment extended over a period of fifty years.
He designed and built machines beyond the imagination of ordinary men. He introduced into the earthmoving and material handling industry the rubber tire, which today is almost universally accepted. He invented and developed the Electric Wheel. He pioneered the welding of various metals. His huge mobile offshore drilling platforms are supporting the machines that drill for the rich petroleum reserves under the seas around the world.
He demonstrated his concern for the Gospel witness by establishing regular chapel services and by employing three full-time Chaplains in his manufacturing plants. The monthly publication NOW begun by him reached 600,000 persons during his lifetime and circled the world with its message. He s traveled the world as a witnessing Christian businessman.
Mr. LeTourneau built 70% of the heavy earthmoving equipment used by the allies in World War II. During the height of the war, from 1942 to 1945, his fertile mind pumped out 78 inventions, many of which were instrumental in helping to win the war.
Many books about his life have published, including his best-selling autobiography, Mover of Men and Mountains (Zondervan), which is still in print, thirty years after his death. This book has been translated from English into several foreign languages. Who can tell how many have come to faith in Christ through his missionary ministry in Liberia, West Africa and Peru, South America? The outreach for God through aid to individuals and organizations by the LeTourneau Foundation has been worldwide.
LeTourneau University which he, together with his wife, founded may well prove to be one of his greatest accomplishments as his influence is multiplied and spread throughout the world by dedicated Christian young people who have studied at the college.
R.G., or Pop as he was fondly called here on campus, had 299 inventions to his name! These included the bulldozer, scrapers of all sorts, dredgers, portable cranes, dump wagons, bridge spans, logging equipment, mobile sea platforms for oil exploration, the electric wheel and many others.
His life's verse was Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

Add on: for the past few weeks, whenever I log on, my CPU is spiked high, really high, I only ever took one screenshot, because user was 64.34% and idle was 4.90%. System was 31.78% and I had just logged in. Not sure if this has anything to do with it either.
Hey, me again. This time I actually have a problem that is baffling me. I'm writing this on my sister's laptop because I am too scared to go on my own laptop for various reasons. As you will see below, that is what is concerning me. The time is currently 3am of 17/9/2018 and those are from the last hour and yesterday but I had many more. I thought nothing of it, maybe it was because I was on messages talking to friends and it was their messages that added on. I usually scan about 3-4 times a day because I'm on the free version. I logged on earlier and it was the second scan, which made no sense because I had just logged on, so I did another search and it said what you can see as the top one. Can anyone explain why it's doing this, it's been bouncing between 4618, 4617, 4616 and 4615. Also, when I did a scan, 21:58:34, it took over 3 mintues of nothing, no scanning, just blank, so I ended the scan and did another scan and it came out with the one above. This confuses me a lot and I'm not very tech smart. Unsure if this will have anything to do with it, but, earlier that night, about 7pm for me, my firefox randomly froze and stopped responding. I was on wattpad, a reading site and I had left to get a drink, came back and I had the rainbow pinwheel so I checked my activity monitor and it said firefox not responding so I force quitted the application. I did a scan and nothing came up. Also, anyone who understands mac process and their uses, what is AOSHeartbeat? I've recently noticed this in my activity monitor.
The day I panicked over nothing?
So, a while back, before I even knew about Malwarebytes, I had HouseCall. I would scan my macbook with it one or twice a day, to make sure everything was okay, I get paranoid a lot. One evening, my macbook was being a bit slowly and sluggish, the fans going like mad and the top bar of the keyboard was very hot to touch. I decided to scan my Macbook, incase there was anything wrong. It scanned for a little bit and then seemed to freeze. This confused me. I pressed 'stop' and all of a sudden, a list of at least 376 supposed trojans came up. OSX_Flashbck_A. My heart immediately stopped and dropped. My only thought was, 'Holy S###'. My dad had recommended HouseCall to me, saying it was trust-worthy and legit. So, of course, I believed him, like I always do. I scanned it again and again and again, to make sure it was correct, I had the same results. After ten minutes of this, I shakily shouted for my dad, who was in the next room. I turned my laptop to face him and he read through it, clicking on the link for it that led to the Trend Micro site. He kept clicking 'fixnow' and my laptop just froze. He did it again and again, it not doing anything at all. He began to panic, as did I. Along came the tears and mind racks to how this had happened. At this point, an error message came up, closing down firefox. That made me believe in the trojan more. My first thought was when I had updated my firefox to the latest version. When I had done that, I noticed like an app popped up in my dock for a split second, saying 'Updater'. I had not downloaded anything from the internet unless it was from a trusted site. I was puzzled onto how this had happened. My dad then updated my OS and tried HouseCall again. It was the same result. He looked online for solutions to it and found nothing. Until he stumbled upon an article about it, dating 2012. He downloaed JAVA onto my laptop and the reason I still have no idea why. The problem was still there. I had texted a few of my friend, freaking out and hoping for them to calm me down. One of my friends recommened Malwarebytes. I had never heard of it, so I googled it on my phone and nudged my dad. He was not paying attention, too focused on work. I waited for him to finish his work, deciding to look on reddit or other online forums about this problem. One other person had it and no one had commented. I felt like I was screwed. Once my dad was finished with his work, I discussed it with him and we decided to download Malwarebytes, hoping it would get rid of these trojans. We finally had it downloaded and opened it up, scanning it for the very first time. There were no trojans? They did not appear at all. I was confused. The only threats were mild adware, that I wasn't even aware were there. We cleared them to Quarantine and scanned again. They did not come up! We both looked at each other confused and decided to scan Housecall again. Over 400 trojans were detected. I looked to my dad and began to theorise that maybe, HouseCall was glitchy or just completely wrong. It never detected the adware and yet Malwarebytes had. I was overly confused and unsure on what to do. I told my dad to get rid of HouseCall and maybe keep Malwarebytes on my laptop instead. This was the day I panicked over nothing. I decided to write it because still to this day, it confuses me on what the hell had happened. I hope you enjoyed my storytime though.
Okay, thank you! You saved me of a full on panic attack! I tend to panic over the smallest things so, I had to make sure that everything was okay. Thank you again!
Edit: I checked again, and I don't know if this is any help.
Hi! So, my malwarebytes was just updated to a new version, but I cannot find anything online about this version, so is it new or a glitch. The version is 3.3.22. I am also on the free one as I am unable to get the premium quite yet. After this update, instead of free, I got trial, which seemed quite weird to me. I've shut down my laptop and turned it back on and it's still the same. Does anyone else have this version? I have a panic and paranoia disorder, hence why I'm asking and trying to stay calm.


Resource subsidies affect food webs, nutrient cycling, and community interactions, but their effects depend on the history, magnitude, and recurrence frequency of the subsidies. In aquatic ecosystems, plant detritus is considered the predominant form of such subsidies; however, while often less abundant in many ecosystems, carrion represents subsidies with relatively rapid turnover and highly concentrated nutrient and energy release that can have strong and lasting effects on ecosystems. Carrion subsidies can come in the form of phenology-based frequency (e.g., salmon spawning and death) or stochastic and episodic (e.g., mass fish kills). Some aquatic ecosystems have a natural history of carrion resource subsidies (e.g., natural salmon-bearing streams), while others have only recently been exposed to phenology-based carrion subsidies (e.g., salmon introductions around the world). Others only experience episodic subsidies in the form of unexpected mass mortalities (e.g., eutrophication- or disease-related fish kills). The responses of ecosystems to these different histories and frequencies of carrion subsidies have often been investigated independently, with little effort to compare and bridge research boundaries in the broader context of resource subsidies.
This Research Topic will provide an extensive ecological understanding of how pulsed carrion nutrient and energy releases have widespread and lasting impacts on many aquatic ecosystems. This Topic will include authors that were invited to present research in a special session at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society for Freshwater Science, hosted in Detroit, MI. Many of the authors have confirmed their willingness to contribute to this Topic, and we would entertain additional submissions from authors with appropriate topics.

Joannesia is  a genus of plants in the family Euphorbiaceae, first described as a genus in 1798. The entire genus is endemic to Brazil.

Etymology
Joannesia is a taxonomic patronym honoring the king John VI of Portugal.

The name Joannesia yielded a taxonomic anagram for the confamilial genus Annesijoa.

Systematics
Species
 Joannesia heveoides Ducke - Amazonas State in Brazil
 Joannesia princeps Vell. - eastern Brazil (Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro)

Species in homonymic genus
In 1807, Persoon used the same name, Joannesia, to a very different plant. He thus created an illegitimate homonym, contrary to the rules of nomenclature. So the one species name that he had created in this illegitimate genus had to be renamed, as follows:
Joannesia insignis Pers. -  Chuquiraga jussieui J.F.Gmel.

Where is Oceanic Literature?: A Digital Map of Coalition and Circulation
Rebecca Hogue, University of California, Davis
Through a digital mapping project, this presentation will examine what regions within and around the Pacific frame Oceanic Literature. What are the environmental, political, social, and aesthetic factors that lead to these definitions and connections? What are the stakes of these coalitions and circulations?
What counts as Oceanic literature? Or more specifically, where is Oceanic literature? In the 1970s, Samoan writer Albert Wendt advocated in "Towards a New Oceania" that "our quest should not be for a revival of our past cultures but for the creation of new cultures which are free of the taint of colonialism and based firmly on our own pasts." By the 1990s, after over two centuries of imperial / capitalist / neoliberal expansion and extraction, Tongan scholar Epeli Hauʻofa argued to reorient the Pacific as "Our Sea of Islands," one not focused on each island's smallness, but the vastness of the ocean, and inspired by the Pacific art of navigational wayfinding, identifying the Pacific as "the pathway to each other and everywhere else" (58). I argue that his reinscription of the Pacific Islands as what he called "Oceania," with the sea as connection instead of separation, also invited a return the environment as a central component and connector of indigenous experiences and epistemologies. Through a digital mapping project, this presentation will examine what regions within the Pacific—whether the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Rim, Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia, or even Asia—are included in the changing identities and conceptualizations of "Oceanic literature" over time. What are the environmental, political, social, and aesthetic factors that lead to these definitions and connections? What are the stakes of such coalitions? How are these delineations and relations important for our work as literary scholars, for literary circulation, or for indigenous self-determination?

'Scared' Man Utd face a 'proper hiding' against Liverpool
Trip to Anfield could end in an embarrassing defeat for Solskjaer as Klopp romps towards the title
by The Week team
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool vs. Man Utd
When: Sunday 19 January
Where: Anfield
Kick-off time: 4.30pm (GMT)
TV channel: Sky Sports Premier League
Manchester United could be in for a "proper hiding" as they face champions-elect Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Few believe Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's side have a chance against Jurgen Klopp's runaway league leaders who have not lost in the Premier League for over a year.
And with injuries to key players the signs are not good for United, against a Liverpool side who have won 12 league games in a row.
Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas believes United will be there for the taking on Sunday.
Man Utd transfer news: Ashley Young to join Inter, Bruno Fernandes deal close
"Manchester United are going there scared. For the first time in many years, you could see Liverpool giving them a proper hiding," he said. "Man United will not want to be embarrassed, but if Liverpool score quickly and get their two full-backs bombing, it could spell trouble."
That view is echoed by the London Evening Standard, although it notes that United are the only team to have taken points off the league leaders this term – when they held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in October.
"United's consistently inconsistent form doesn't bode well for a trip to Merseyside," it says. "Liverpool haven't lost on their own turf since April 2017 and a United side hit by injury stand little chance of changing that."
Writing in the Daily Telegraph Jamie Carragher reflects on how the two clubs' fortunes and roles have reversed in recent years.
"It is often suggested Manchester United in 2020 resemble Liverpool in the 1990s – expensive and underperforming, where the only signs of hope come from the emerging youngsters," he says. "I would switch the argument. The Liverpool of 2020 has more in common with United in the early 1990s, just before Sir Alex Ferguson lifted his first title; a well-drilled, disciplined and brilliantly managed team who bought well, improved those signed and introduced academy gems at the right time.
"United have spent £840m since [Alex] Ferguson retired. What Klopp is achieving at Anfield is more a triumph of coaching and management, aided by skilled recruitment, than the flexing of financial muscle."
With Ashley Young leaving Old Trafford, Harry Maguire has been made full time captain. Although he has been wearing the armband at times this season will don it as official skipper for the first time at Anfield.
Marcus Rashford will be given as long as possible to see if he recovers from the back injury he sustained against Wolves in midweek, but is likely to miss out along with long-term absentees Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba.
Liverpool are without Naby Keita and James Milner but Fabinho could be available for the first time since November.

San Pietro Martire ist eine römisch-katholische Filialkirche in der oberitalienischen Stadt Verona in Venetien.

Geschichte
Die Kirche San Pietro Martire ist dem heiligen Petrus von Verona geweiht und wurde an der Stelle errichtet, an der sich der Legende nach sein Geburtshaus befand. Letzteres wurde zu einem unbekannten Zeitpunkt von den Dominikanern, des an der Basilika Sant'Anastasia angeschlossenen Klosters erworben und abgerissen, um Platz für den Bau einer Kirche zu Ehren des Heiligen zu machen. Der Grundstein für die neue Kirche wurde 1656 gelegt.

Im 18. Jahrhundert wurden der Innenraum und die Fassade umgestaltet. Das barocke Eingangsportal blieb von diesen Arbeiten allerdings unberührt. Während der napoleonischen Epoche fiel San Pietro Martire 1809 der Säkularisation zum Opfer und wurde profaniert. Fortan wurde sie für andere Zwecke genutzt und 1827 zog die Glockengießerei Chiappani ein, die bis 1860 dort tätig war.

1861 konnte das Gebäude dank wohltätiger Spender renoviert werden und noch im gleichen Jahr wurde der Bau dem Bischof Luigi di Canossa übergeben und die Kirche neu geweiht. Zwischen 2006 und 2007 wurden der Innenraum und die Fassade renoviert.

San Pietro Martire ist eine von zwei Filialkirchen der Pfarrei Santo Stefano.

Architektur
Die im Stadtteil Veronetta gelegene Kirche steht in unmittelbarer Nähe des Etschufers zwischen den Kirchen San Giorgio in Braida im Westen und Santo Stefano im Osten. Über dem barocken Eingangsportal steht in einer Nische die Statue des heiligen Petrus von Verona, die mit 1457 datiert ist. Darunter eine lateinische Inschrift, die daran erinnert, dass an dieser Stelle der Heilige geboren wurde und aufwuchs. Nach einigen Autoren war die Statue am ehemaligen Geburtshaus des Märtyrers angebracht. Die zwei Längsfenster daneben sowie das halbrunde Fenster im darüber liegenden klassizistischen Tympanon sorgen für die natürliche Beleuchtung des Langhauses. Ein weiteres Fenster der kleinen Kirche befindet sich an der Ostwand des Chors.

Die einschiffige Saalkirche ist nach den Umbauten im 18. Jahrhundert im klassizistischen Stil gehalten. Sie ist in Nord-Südrichtung ausgelegt, mit dem im Norden liegenden etwas überhöhten Chor. Letzterer ist vom Langhaus durch eine Marmor-Balustrade getrennt und über eine dreistufige Treppe erreichbar. Hinter dem Hauptaltar liegt die Sakristei, die über zwei seitliche mit Vorhängen abgedeckte Durchgänge zugänglich ist. Das Tonnengewölbe des Langhauses wird von einigen Gurtbögen untergliedert und ist sonst schmucklos gehalten. Ebenso nüchtern sind die beiden Seitenwände des Langhauses, an denen zwei von Pilastern eingerahmte Seitenaltäre aus mehrfarbigen Marmor stehen. Die Pilaster ähneln den beiden Halbpfeilern mit ihren ionischen Kapitellen, die den Chorbogen abschließen.

Innenausstattung
Die in der Apsis hängende Pala zeigt den auf einer Wolke über der Stadt Verona sitzenden heiligen Petrus von Verona, der von mehreren Engeln umgeben ist. Der Engel in der Bildmitte hält die ikonografischen Heiligenattribute in der Hand, ein Messer und einen Palmzweig. Das Bild wird dem Veroneser Maler Andrea Voltolini zugeschrieben.

Von den beiden Seitenaltären im Langhaus besitzt nur noch der Seitenaltar an der Ostseite eine Pala. Letztere stammt von einem unbekannten Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts und zeigt eine thronende Madonna mit Kind und den beiden Heiligen Rosalia und Dominikus zu deren Füßen. Im Hintergrund ist die Kirche San Giorgio in Braida zu erkennen. Die ebenfalls aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammende Pala des gegenüberliegenden Seitenaltars befindet sich in der Kirche Santo Stefano. In der Altarnische des westlichen Seitenaltars steht eine Holzfigur des heiligen Petrus von Verona, die von einem unbekannten Künstler im 16. Jahrhundert gefertigt wurde.

I am making an e-commerce in Django and the user can pick multiple items before adding them to the cart, I'm using the timestamp as an object id in the user's cart when add to cart button clicked.
When add to cart button clicked I have a dict of
{"item_id":"qty"}

creating the cart object goes like
{"timestamp":"item_id;qty"}

the timestamp serves as an unique id so i can give id to the rows of the cart if they need to be deleted, if so sends the id of the element of the cart in the back-end and deletes the same element from the user's cart object
The timestamp is not unique... The process is too fast that the timestamp stays the same and it does not make different keys any advice to have a different timestamp would be appreciated .

You're barking up the wrong tree, trying to fix a problem in a solution not fit for the original problem; i.e. you have an XY problem.
The simplest solution: use a list instead of a dict. The list will have unique keys by definition. The only issue with a list is that in a web scenario, you may be handling two parallel or outdated requests, and the index may refer to a different element by the time it reaches your server.
So to use truly unique, unchanging ids, use the uuid module:
from uuid import uuid4

a = [1 ,2 ,3 , 4 , 5]
b = {}
for i in a:
    b[uuid4()] = i

There you go, guaranteed unique ids.

A: If you want your keys to be unique and somewhat time-based, just increment them manually:
import time
key = time.time() * 1000
a = [1 ,2 ,3 , 4 , 5]
b = {}
for i in a:
    b[key] = i
    key += 1

print(b)

A: How about using datetime module
from datetime import datetime

for i in a:
    b[datetime.now()] = i

edit:
Perhaps a better way to make it unique will be to add a unique element to the timestamp. One way could be to add a UUID to the mix.
import uuid

for i in a:
    b[timestamp() + uuid.uuid4()] = i

But I might be stretching it a bit. Just a suggestion.
