A chronological history of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project
A timeline of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project: July 2008: TC Energy Corp. (TSX: TRP) — then called TransCanada Corp. — and ConocoPhillips, joint owners of the Keystone Pipeline, propose a major extension to the network. The expansion, dubbed Keystone XL, would carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of oilsands bitumen from Alberta to Texas. 2009: As the U.S. State Department wades through comments based on an environmental assessment of the project, TransCanada starts visiting landowners potentially affected by the pipeline. Opposition emerges in Nebraska. June 2009: TransCanada announces it will buy ConocoPhillips's stake in Keystone. March 2010: The National Energy Board approves TransCanada's application for Keystone XL, though the OK comes with 22 conditions regarding safety, environmental protection and landowner rights. April 2010: The U.S. State Department releases a draft environmental impact statement saying Keystone XL would have a limited effect on the environment. June-July 2010: Opposition to Keystone XL begins mounting in the United States. Legislators write to then-secretary of state Hillary Clinton calling for greater environmental oversight; scientists begin speaking out against the project; and the Environmental Protection Agency questions the need for the pipeline extension. July 2010: The State Department extends its review of Keystone, saying federal agencies need more time to weigh in before a final environmental impact assessment can be released. March 2011: The State Department announces a further delay in its environmental assessment. Aug. 26, 2011: The State Department releases its final environmental assessment, which reiterates that the pipeline would have a limited environmental impact. August-September 2011: Protesters stage a two-week campaign of civil disobedience at the White House to speak out against Keystone XL. Police arrest approximately 1,000 people, including actors Margot Kidder and Daryl Hannah as well as Canadian activist Naomi Klein. Sept. 26, 2011: At a demonstration on Parliament Hill, police arrest 117 of 400 protesters. Nov. 10, 2011: The State Department says TransCanada must reroute Keystone XL to avoid an ecologically sensitive region of Nebraska. Nov. 14, 2011: TransCanada agrees to reroute the line. December 2011: U.S. legislators pass a bill with a provision saying President Barack Obama must make a decision on the pipeline's future in the next 60 days. Jan. 18, 2012: Obama rejects Keystone, saying the timeline imposed by the December bill did not leave enough time to review the new route. Obama said TransCanada was free to submit another application. Feb. 27, 2012: TransCanada says it will build the southern leg of Keystone XL, from Cushing, Okla., to the Gulf Coast, as a separate project with a price tag of $2.3 billion. This is not subject to presidential permission, since it did not cross an international border. April 18, 2012: TransCanada submits a new route to officials in Nebraska for approval. May 4, 2012: TransCanada files a new application with the State Department for the northern part of Keystone XL. Jan. 22, 2013: Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman approves TransCanada's proposed new route for Keystone XL, sending the project back to the State Department for review. January 2013: Pipeline opponents file a lawsuit against the Nebraska government claiming the state law used to review the new route is unconstitutional. Jan. 31, 2014: The State Department says in a report that Keystone XL would produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions than transporting oil to the Gulf of Mexico by rail. Feb. 19, 2014: A Nebraska judge rules that the law that allowed the governor to approve Keystone XL over the objections of landowners was unconstitutional. Nebraska said it would appeal. April 18, 2014: The State Department suspends the regulatory process indefinitely, citing uncertainty about the court case in Nebraska. Nov. 4, 2014: TransCanada says the costs of Keystone XL have grown to US$8 billion from US$5.4 billion. November-December 2014: Midterm elections turn control of the U.S. Congress over to Republicans, who say they'll make acceptance of Keystone XL a top priority. But Obama adopts an increasingly negative tone. Jan. 9, 2015: At the Nebraska Supreme Court, by the narrowest of margins, a panel of seven judges strikes down the lower-court decision. Jan. 29, 2015: The U.S. Senate approves a bill to build Keystone XL, but the White House says Obama would veto it. Feb. 24, 2015: Obama vetoes the bill. June 30, 2015: TransCanada writes to then-secretary of state John Kerry and other U.S. officials saying the State Department should include recent climate change policy announcements by the Alberta and federal governments in its review of Keystone XL. Nov. 2, 2015: TransCanada asks the U.S. government to temporarily suspend its application. Nov. 4, 2015: The U.S. government rejects that request. Nov. 6, 2015: The Obama administration rejects TransCanada's application to build the Keystone XL pipeline. TransCanada CEO Russ Girling says he is disappointed, but continues to believe the project is in the best interests of both Canada and the U.S. Jan. 6, 2016: TransCanada files notice to launch a claim under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, alleging the U.S. government breached its legal commitments under NAFTA. The company also files a lawsuit in U.S. Federal Court in Texas arguing that Obama exceeded his powers by denying construction of the project. May 26, 2016: Republican presidential contender Donald Trump says he would approve Keystone XL if elected, a pledge he repeats several times during the campaign. Nov. 8, 2016: Trump is elected president. Jan. 24, 2017: Trump signs an executive order that he says approves Keystone XL, but suggests the United States intends to renegotiate the terms of the project. He also signs an order requiring American pipelines to be built with U.S. steel. Nov. 9, 2018: A U.S. federal judge blocks the pipeline's construction to allow more time to study the potential environmental impact. March 29, 2019: Trump issues a new presidential permit in an effort to speed up development of the pipeline May 3, 2019: TransCanada changes its name to TC Energy. March 31, 2020: Alberta agrees to invest $1.5 billion in Keystone XL, followed by a $6 billion loan guarantee in 2021. April 7, 2020: Construction begins, despite calls from Indigenous groups and environmentalists to pause their efforts. May 18, 2020: Joe Biden, then the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, vows to scrap Keystone XL if elected, but doesn't set out a timeline for doing so. Nov. 3, 2020: Biden is elected president. Jan. 17, 2021: Transition documents show Biden plans to cancel Keystone XL on the first day of his presidency.

Twitter on Sunday temporarily suspended the account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican U.S. Congresswoman from Georgia who has expressed racist views and support for QAnon conspiracy theories online. Greene's account was suspended "without explanation," she said in a statement, while also condemning big tech companies for "silencing" conservative views. The 46-year-old businesswoman and political newcomer was elected to represent Georgia's 14th District in November. She's gained large followings on social media in part by posting incendiary videos and comments and has also embraced QAnon, a far-right U.S. conspiracy theory centred around the debunked belief that President Donald Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the "deep state" and a child sex trafficking ring they say is linked to Democrats. Before noon Sunday, Greene posted a clip from an interview with a local news outlet in which she condemned Georgia election officials and expressed support for debunked theories claiming that voting machines, absentee ballots and other issues led to widespread fraud in the state during the presidential election. Twitter responded to the tweet, and others, with a message that called the election fraud claim "disputed," and saying it posed "a risk of violence." A statement from Greene's team on Sunday included screenshots from Twitter which appeared to show the company informing the congresswoman she had violated its rules and would be prohibited from interacting with content on the site for 12 hours. Greene urged Congress to "act to protect free speech" in her statement. The action comes a little more than a week after Twitter banned Trump from the platform, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence" following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol this month. As of Jan. 12, Twitter had also suspended more than 70,000 accounts associated with QAnon as it attempted to rein in harmful activity ahead of the presidential inauguration. Twitter has said it is taking action against online behaviour "that has the potential to lead to offline harm" after the mob of Trump supporters tried to violently storm the Capitol building on Jan. 6. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Greene's suspension. Sophia Tulp, The Associated Press
N.L. adds 1 new COVID-19 case, related to travel
There is one new case of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador on Sunday, a man between 20 and 39 years old in the Eastern Health region. According to a Department of Health media release, the case is travel-related. The man is a resident of the province who returned home from work in Alberta. The man is self-isolating and contact tracing by public health is underway. Anyone considered a close contact has been advised to quarantine. Because of this case, out of an abundance of caution, public health is asking passengers who travelled on Air Canada Flight 7480 from Montreal to St. John's that arrived on Wednesday to call 811 to arrange testing. The province now has six active cases. There have been no new recoveries since Saturday's update. There have been 383 recoveries since March, and one person is currently in hospital due to the virus. As of Sunday's update 76,321 have been tested. That's 191 more since Saturday. It is unclear whether or not there will be a live COVID-19 briefing on Monday, as the provincial election continues.

Wrestling, hip hop form tag team on new album
When P.E.I.'s Adam Robbins set out to make a hip-hop album with a wrestling theme, he knew the best way was from the perspective of a bad guy or, as they are known in the wrestling world, a heel. "My voice and presentation was much more suited for a heel. So I wanted the whole album to kind of sound like from the perspective of the Mr. Bad Guy kind of deal." The result is his fifth album, Hip Hop's Heel. But first he needed to find a way to get Kowboy Mike Hughes of Red Rock Wrestling on board. "I gave him a little bit of an armbar and convinced him to do a little bit of vocal work on the album," he said in an interview with Mainstreet P.E.I. host Angela Walker. Roster of wrestlers Hughes also provided a roster of wrestlers to help with the "vibe" of the album. "The premise throughout the album is that I somehow managed to steal the Red Rock championship belt and Kowboy Mike Hughes isn't very pleased with that. So he's leaving me some pretty angry voicemails on the album," Robbins said. If you're going to make a move, if you're going to make a sound, it should be emphasized and bigger and better than you thought or it should be originally. — Adam Robbins Robbins has had a passion for hip hop since his stepbrother gave him his first Wu-Tang Clan CD about 18 years ago and he became "obsessed with the word play." Wrestling is in Robbins's blood — his brother is a professional wrestler. Wrestlers and hip-hop artists are similar in ways, Robbins said — especially when there is an audience. "You're working an angle, you're working the camera, the audience.… If you're going to make a move, if you're going to make a sound, it should be emphasized and bigger and better than you thought or it should be originally." Robbins said the album has surpassed his expectations and has been well-received by Islanders, including one of his biggest fans, his seven-year-old son. "He was very, very excited to see the album come together, and he was actually a part of some of the music videos and got to meet the wrestlers and whatnot during the whole process of it all. So it was fantastic to see that passion being instilled and in my son, as well." More from CBC P.E.I.

Challenging service charges
John Mills, a technical consultant to ARMA, looks at some typical situations where things can go wrong for directors of resident management companies (hereafter RMCos) illustrated with cases that went to the First-tier Tribunal.
Directors of RMCos are in the position of having to wear two hats at the same time. They are directors of a limited company and so responsible to the shareholders; and responsible for the management of a block of flats and so have to comply with the leases granted to the lessees and landlord and tenant legislation. These two roles often cause confusion for directors and can lead to costly mistakes.
This article looks at some typical situations where things can go wrong illustrated with cases that went to the First-tier Tribunal. When the lessees of a small block of seven flats in Huntingdon took on self-management of their small block in 1990 it was admitted at the tribunal that "nobody looked at any leases which were mostly held by banks. Although nobody seems to recall precisely how this came about, the decision was taken to apportion charges equally between flats". Things went well for many years; the lessees met at their AGM and decided the budget for service charges at their AGM. But when major expenditure was needed for repairs one of the lessees, who was not one of the lessees when the company was formed, got his solicitor to check his lease. He found that his lease only required him to pay a 9.5% share of service costs, not one seventh. He took his case to the tribunal.
PAYMENTS ADJUSTED
The tribunal decided that the RMCo had no right to go against the leases and that the lessee was entitled to have his service charge was entitled to backdated adjustment for the last 10 years that he had been in residence. The moral is that no decision of the directors of a company or its shareholders can overturn the requirements of the leases.
Things also go wrong with annual statements of account for service charges.
This RMCo had brought a case to recover arrears. The lessee paid minimal interim service charges but had not paid any balancing deficits due for four years. The lease was quite specific about what was required for the annual service charge statement; one requirement was for certification as a fair summary by an accountant. The RMCo had agreed that to save costs certified accounts were not necessary.
The FTT found the actual service charges were reasonable but that the RMCo could not recover the shortfalls due because it had failed to follow the terms of the leases; no certification, no total of interim service charges, no indication of a positive or negative balance. So the FTT decided that there were no arrears owing until the annual service charge statements for those years had been correctly issued. The moral is that to satisfactorily demand service charges at a tribunal or court an RMCo has to show that it has produced annual statements of account for service charges in accordance with the leases.
In this next case an RMCo thought that producing annual accounts for the company audited by an independent auditor should suffice for the purposes of service charges.
The leases of this block in London provided for an annual payment in advance of £100 but at the end of each financial year any deficit could be demanded from leaseholders as a one-off payment by the RMCo serving a statement certified by a surveyor. Further it was possible to increase or decrease the £100 in advance if the new figure was also certified by a surveyor.
The RMCo of this block of 10 flats had never issued any surveyor's certificates. Each year the service charge to be levied had been agreed by a resolution at a company meeting after looking at the company's annual accounts.
VIGOROUSLY PURSUED
One lessee challenged the service charges demanded over a fiveyear period. Her claim was that no more than £100 per annum was payable. This was despite the facts that the lessee was a previous chair of the RMCo, had paid more than £100 per annum when she was the chair, and she had vigorously pursued other lessees for the service charges demanded by the RMCo when she was chair. A First-tier Tribunal had some sympathy with the RMCo and decided that the lessee and ex-chair of the RMCo should not be able to overturn what had happened because her actions had shown she agreed with what had been done.
The lessee appealed to the Lands Tribunal and it decided that the terms of the lease were paramount. So the service charge payable for each of the five years in question was £100.
The lessee then went on to argue that the RMCo was not in a position to retrospectively issue any surveyor's certificates and so demand higher sums. The Lands Tribunal decided that this was possible; there was nothing in the leases that set a time limit on how long after each financial year the RMCo could issue the statement with a surveyor's certificate. However if the RMCo did decide to do this one assumes that the 18-month's rule would come into play; it would also be difficult to find a surveyor to certify accounts from several years ago.
The moral of this case is that just because an RMCo produces independently audited accounts of the company for Companies House, which include income and expenditure for service charges, does NOT mean that is sufficient to correctly demand service charges. The RMCo needs to comply with what the leases require for an annual statement of account for service charges. There is a clear difference between a service charge statement and a company statement of account; most leases do not require that a set of accounts in the format for Companies House is what is required for service charges.
CHALLENGED BY LESSEES
And what of expenditure on major works and the requirements to consult under Landlord and Tenant Law-S20 consultation? Reddings Court Management Company in Birmingham was challenged by lessees about major works to install security lighting. The RMCo's evidence was that the matter had been agreed at a shareholder's meeting. The FTT decided that this was not a good reason to fail to do what the law required and so the cost of works was limited to £250 per leaseholder.
The moral is that decisions taken by directors or shareholders of an RMCo, even if unanimous, cannot override Landlord and Tenant Legislation.
In summary as one tribunal put the matter so well (with the exceptionof the use of tenant for lessee):
"The Tribunal would draw the attention of the parties to the importance of a clear distinction being made between the operation of the leases and the role of tenants as tenants on the one hand, and the operation of the Management Company and the role of the tenants as shareholders on the other. The Tribunal is only concerned with the operation of the lease and therefore resolutions and minutes of the Company carry little if any weight."

EAST HARTFORD — East Hartford High School senior Alexis Strong spent more than a month organizing a dinner for the community, seeking donations of food and arranging transportation and food preparation.
When the event, scheduled to take place Wednesday evening, was cancelled because of an impending snowstorm, Strong said she was angry.
"I was just disappointed because we put in all this work for something to be cancelled," said Strong, 17, who planned the dinner as part of 30 hours of community service she needs to graduate.
But while the community might not share a meal together this week, something positive still came of Strong's efforts. On Tuesday she and four other East Hartford High students delivered trays of mashed potatoes, squash and turkey to the local homeless shelter on Main Street.
Jamie Randolph, a case manager at the East Hartford Community Shelter, said all 40 residents had been invited to the dinner. But when the event was cancelled, Randolph said she didn't expect to hear from the school.
"I thought they'd probably just cancel and that was it. This was really unexpected and really helpful to have," she said. "It means a lot the they're thinking of us and the community, are getting involved with what we need and recognize that we're here in the same community."
Every high school student must complete 30 hours of community service to graduate. Sarah Barry, alternative program coordinator at the school, said she strives to have kids think about their service projects, to identify a need and try to do something about it.
"We want to them to do something where they're deepening their knowledge of the community and trying to make lasting change," said Barry.
High school students are encouraged to begin thinking about their community service projects as early as their freshman year, starting with the annual "Community Awareness Day," where local and national organizations are brought in to speak to students.
The idea for a community dinner was conceived by East Hartford High School student Trayson Patterson, Barry said. Strong joined the effort and did a lot of the heavy lifting, said Barry. She called restaurants in East Hartford, Manchester and Glastonbury.
She got Stop & Shop to donate potatoes and squash. Shoprite donated $50 in gift cards. The board of education donated $2,000. Sodexo, the district's meal service provider, volunteered to prepare the dinner, which would have taken place in the school cafeteria.
Dattco Bus donated buses and the bus drivers donated their time to help drive residents from the local homeless shelter to the dinner, as well as residents from three other shelters in Hartford.
There was enough food to feed the 500 guests who were expected to attend. Members of the school's football team and their families were invited. The superintendent was invited, Barry said.
"It was going to be everybody in town," Barry said. "We just wanted more of a community atmosphere."
The students will deliver the remaining donated food to area shelters and pantries once a week during the month of December.


Benton Baugh (1967 BSME), adjunct professor of mechanical engineering and president of Radoil, Inc., has engineered a new tool to help secure the drilling riser on BP America's Thunder Horse during onset of a hurricane. Thunder Horse is the largest moored semi-submersible oil platform in the world. Photo by Thomas Shea.
Days before residents on the Gulf coast were evacuated for Hurricane Ike, aircrafts were ferrying crews in the area from the offshore rigs and platforms responsible for a quarter of U.S. oil and 15 percent of natural gas production.
In the storm's aftermath, some 111 of the 694 manned platforms in the Gulf remained evacuated Monday as production numbers remain below average for the second week following Ike's landfall, said Caryl Fagot, spokesperson for the U.S. Minerals Management Service.
With each day, hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost as the industry works to return to pre-Ike production.
A new technology being created by Benton Baugh (1967 BSME), an adjunct professor in the University of Houston's Department of Mechanical Engineering, is expected to tip the scales to some of these losses by helping protect one of the Gulf's largest producers from perils next hurricane season.
Beginning this fall, Baugh's drilling riser centralizer system will find its way 150-miles southeast of New Orleans to BP America's Thunder Horse, the largest moored semi-submersible oil platform in the world. The system, designed by Houston-based Radoil, Inc. where Baugh is president, could not only reduce risk to the riser and rig, but significantly cut the number of down production days by allowing subsea drilling equipment added security in the stronger currents produced by looming hurricanes.
It was these stronger currents during Ike, the mineral management service has reported, damaged risers or flex joints on multiple platforms in the Gulf. Repairs, Fagot indicated, could take up to three months. Baugh's technology is expected to reduce the risk of such damage to the Thunder Horse, which at its peak is expected to produce near 250,000 barrels a day.
The quarter of a million pound cylindrical system stands near the height of a one-story building. When activated, it utilizes 64 internal rollers that have the ability to clamp around the drilling riser, stabilizing it for higher currents as its pulled from the ocean bottom more than 6,000 feet below the rig.
The multi-million dollar system, Baugh said, reduces the possibility of damage to the riser, increasing the outcome it will be pulled to safety without adverse consequences. The extra security, he said, could ease some of the production troubles faced after Ike if the Gulf faces another active hurricane season next year.


Let me start by saying I've bombed my fair share of sermons over the years. There have been those moments where words have come of out my mouth while preaching that left my leadership team asking for further interpretation. There are also times when I've hit it out of the park completely in tune with what needed to be shared. People have thanked me years later for biblical truths I've preached that impacted them. They've also reminded me of funny illustrations that are unfortunately more memorable than the sermon lesson that accompanied them.
Preachers are not perfect and mistakes will be made. However, it's imperative that our twenty-first century gospel is in tune with the heart of the first century gospel because we are communicating in an age of biblical illiteracy.
Misinterpretation of Scripture. The majority of misinterpretations are done with honorable intentions of strengthening a spiritual principle, but the habit can lead to bad theology. The most recent example is a loose interpretation of the parable of the talents which is floating around. It's presented in a manner to motivate people to do more with their gifts, but says we will be judged according to what we COULD have done. But in Matthew 25, Jesus isn't casting fear into the hearts of believers for not doing ENOUGH ahead of the coming judgement. He's calling attention to those who do NOTHING, or those who profess Christ, but don't live like him.
Scripture taken out of context. This was the crème de la crème of the 1990's preaching I was raised on, and the same Scriptures are misunderstood today. Consider Philippians 4:13. Yes, it's true all things are possible with God, but the context of the Scripture is that Paul will preach the gospel whether he gets paid or not. Or look at Philippians 3:13 where Paul says he forgets the things of the past. He's actually referring to achievements, not failure or sin. And of course the infamous "where two or three are gathered together" misinterpretation that somehow has never gone away (the stuff of urban legends).
Overuse of topical sermons. Part of this issue of #1 and #2 is the rise in topical sermon series over the years. Don't misunderstand. Topical preaching has it's place and I really enjoy it, but that style lends itself to picking and choosing single verses and passages to support our topic regardless of the actual context of those verses. It's easier to use a concordance to find verses with the same word than to research the actual context of said verses.
Conjecture without acknowledging it as such. Conjecture is when you fill in the gaps of Bible text with your own guesses or thoughts. With biblical illiteracy in mind, if it isn't verbalized as such, it's dangerous ground to tread because you're actually adding to God's Word. Woah. I heard a preacher recently state that John the Baptist died not knowing if Jesus was truly the Messiah. It was conjecture presented as scriptural truth. And that "truth" was a leap in and of itself! If you're not preceding conjecture with something like "Now this isn't in the Bible," or "This is speculation", then leave the conjecture unspoken and save it for a setting with group discussion.
Complex spiritual thoughts in 140 characters. Communicating complex spiritual principles in the age of social media and short attention spans is not easy. I've seen countless tweets that sound good, but are half-truths, untrue, and sometimes total nonsense. In the age of biblical illiteracy, if you can't communicate a Scripturally solid thought in less than 140 characters, then either A. Don't tweet it, B. Write a blog post on it, or C. Save it for a sermon. When something speaks to us personally, it can be hard for others to understand where we are coming from in less than 140 characters. If the clarity is questionable, it's better to not send it. After all, that might be the only "Scripture" someone reads that day.
Preachers/pastors, we are professionals. Are we known as the authority on God's Word? Let's study and communicate it in a way that respects that awesome responsibility. We can turn the tide of biblical illiteracy, but we must be intentional and we must do it now.

Once of Ezra's more recent favorite activities has been doing puzzles. So much so that the downstairs is becoming overtaken by puzzles that range in size from 8×10 to several feet by several feet. We have been absolutely amazed at his ability to accomplish these on his own, and have spent countless hours proudly watching as he does these fairly complex (for a 2 year-old) puzzles.
**as a side note, when screening the completed video at home with Ahna and Ezra, he kept telling himself where to put pieces….he also cheered when he finished the puzzle. Super cute.

If the gene works in humans similarly, the findings may lead to a fresh weapon against our burgeoning waistlines, based on the researchers.You already are sitting up, so simply straighten your spine , you have music obtainable so placed on some inspirational tunes, you have a time clock to time yourself and you have a lover to stay cool even. What more can you ask for? In case you have family in the motor car with you, great, you can all practice together, why not :-). Both Breath of Fire pranayama and Kapalbhati pranayama are inhaling and exhaling exercises that activate energy pathways within you and boost your energy, therefore there is no risk of them making you sleepy or drowsy.

1) Protect Capital. The best traders all preach defense first. I moved my clients to a large cash position last week and will keep it that way until market conditions improve. If you don't protect your capital, you'll have nothing to trade with when a new rally begins.
2) Protect Confidence. Many traders get killed and "chopped to death" during corrections. Unfortunately, when the next uptrend begins, they hesitate and can't pull the trigger because their confidence has been crushed. Keep your head up, learn from your mistakes, keep a watch list of strong stocks, and don't get discouraged!
3) Raise Cash and Minimize Trading. Most people don't like to admit their mistakes because we all want to let the world know how great we're doing. I have no problem admitting that I used to struggle tremendously in corrective markets (like the one we're in right now) until I made a few adjustments. I simply decided to sit out and to NOT force trades during unhealthy conditions. Remember, it's okay to do nothing and wait for the dust to settle. If you are going to trade, I recommend reducing your position size.
4) Learn Patience. The technical damage last week was extreme and needs time to repair. How long? Who knows? It could be a few weeks, a few months, or even longer. Either way, all the major indexes are below their 200-day moving averages. My experience has shown me that when bad news happens AND we're below this level, the bad news tends to exaggerate moves to the downside.
I realize that there are other strategies to use during corrective markets, but as I always say: DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. Have a sound strategy and know your timeframe. Whatever you decide, my best advice is to keep things light and to stay disciplined. A strong new uptrend is coming in the future, just be patient and save your money for it!

Q: Redirect service on nginx I have a dynamic list of redirects from a relative url on my site to some other absolute url:
my_website_url_1 --> other_website_url_1
...
my_website_url_N --> other_website_url_N

This list consists of several hundreds of entries and is changed a few times per day.
(Actual list is in the DB, but it can be in a text file or in whatever form comfortable.)
"My site" is an nginx server.
I'm looking for a robust solution to deploy redirect list changes to an nginx server without interrupting the service.
Any advice?
Replacing nginx with something else is an option.

A: I wrote a small rack app a long time ago exactly for this purpose. You can check it out at http://github.com/minhajuddin/redirector
From the readme:

Redirector
A simple rack application which makes redirection of multiple domains a breeze.
Configuration
To configure the application all you have to do is edit the config.yaml file, the following is a sample configuration file:
cosmicvent.net: # <== This is the host name of the domain which you want to redirect
  status: 302 # <== status code with which it is redirected, 302 for temporary redirects, 301 for permanent redirects
  location: 'http://cosmicvent.com' # <== the domain which it is redirected *to*

'localhost:3030':
  status: 301
  location: 'http://cosmicvent.com:3030'

A: I'm not sure what the best option is in your case. I suppose that you could create a cron job that generates part of your nginx config and then reloads, but that seems like a dangerous hack to me.
Depending on how much load you are getting on the relative URLs, you could just have your application code fire off the redirects. For example, if you're using PHP, check the incoming URL to see if it is your redirect table, if it is, send back an HTTP redirect to the canonical URL.

A: One idea is to have a database (MySQL or what have you) table that you can populate with your redirects.  Every hour or so, cron can fire off a script that will examine that table, see if there are new entries from the last time it ran, and then generate a new nginx config based on what it finds in that table.
I'd suggest using something like Ruby + ERB to get this done.
Afterwards, it can issue a reload against nginx to avoid service outages.

Water for Wildlife & Rice
Water for Wildlife & Rice Producing ecological and socio-economic outcomes. https://landcare.nsw.gov.au/groups/western-murray-land-improvement-group-inc/water-for-wildlife-rice https://landcare.nsw.gov.au/@@site-logo/landcare-nsw-logo-200.png
Producing ecological and socio-economic outcomes.
Much of Australia's water is managed for either agricultural or environmental purposes. As it stands the two management processes are in parallel and no one site aims to deliver outcomes for both wildlife and agriculture. However, local farmer Peter McDonald belives the answer may lie within existing rice farms. Although intended for agricultural purpose, these farms act as surrogate wetlands, home to over 50 wildlife species such as the Australasian Bittern, Painted Snipe and Southern Bell Frog. Unfortunatley, a decrease in irrigation water coupled with higher water prices has led to a reduction in ponding duration by up to 75 days, deeming crops unsuitable for many native species.
This project aimed to run a pilot farm which would maximise the habitat value of a rice crop and adjacent surrogate wetlands. To achieve this a crowdfunding campaign was created to cover additional costs incurred to make the crop "wildlife friendly". The campaign offered rewards for different levels of investment from supporters, from a "thank you" card through to "rice farm bird watching tours with a wildlife expert". The campaign ran for a month with an investment target of $12,000.
In addition, a business case was developed for a co-operative to facilitate a water trading platform to ecourage entitlement holders to retain water in the region to be used for rice production and the protection of wildlife. Their key product would be to offer shareholders a leasing arrangement which would provide more security for ricegrowers in their farm planning at a reduced cost and offer entitlement holders a return on investment of 3-3.5%.
Farms support a host of rare species not necessarily suited to areas mostly targeted for environmental water delivery in the low to mid floodplain. If irrigated cropping becomes less frequent, the ecological systems on the mid to high floodplain will suffer. Agriculture is the main economic driver in the region, with most of the community and local business dependent on it. The reduction in available irrigation water has affected on-farm profitability and as a result has considerably impacted the socio-economic status of the region and overall community morale. If an alternate income source could be developed to support rice farms, the environment and the community, this would have enormous implications for the region.
Unfortunately, the crowd funding campaign in 2018 fell short of its investment target, with investment reaching $7,500 out of the $12,000 required. Soon after water allocations were reduced to zero for entitlement holders, making the cooperative business case (and rice production) unviable in the near future.
A crowdfunding campaign for a pilot "wildlife friendly" rice crop was created to attract investment of $12,000.
A business case was created for non-profit water trading platform encouraging investors to keep water within the region.

Carnival Corporation has announced an agreement with the Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife to be the first concession-holder to operate the Canary Islands' newest cruise terminal.
Opened in 2016 during the Seatrade Cruise Med conference that took place in Tenerife, the terminal offers passengers a comfortable experience and modern conveniences.
It can also accommodate next-generation cruise ships powered by liquefied natural gas, and will welcome AIDAnova, from the corporation's Germany-based AIDA Cruises brand, on its maiden voyage in December.
The Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a Cruise Lines International Association member, is a very active member of MedCruise, the leading cruise port association worldwide, and it has been a Cruises Atlantic Islands founding member since 1994.
"Carnival Corporation has long been a valued partner with the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Canary Islands, and we are confident that they will be a wonderful steward of our recently built cruise port," said Pedro Suárez López de Vergara, president of the Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Seven brands from Carnival Corporation – AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn and P&O Cruises UK – make port calls to Tenerife during the year.
Carnival Corporation expects to bring more than 300,000 passenger visits to the port in 2018 – half of all cruise passenger visits – with 130 calls by 31 different ships from the company's cruise line brands.
"This concession and our ongoing investment is part of Carnival Corporation's long-term strategy to continue to develop the cruise industry in the Canary Islands," said Giora Israel, senior vice president of global port and destination development for Carnival Corporation.
"Our passion is to always provide the best possible experiences for our guests, and Tenerife is an extremely popular destination that offers something for everyone – including a storied history, beautiful beaches, exotic gardens, unique crafts and memorable cuisine.

Technology|On LinkedIn, a Reference List You Didn't Write

On LinkedIn, a Reference List You Didn't Write
CreditCreditJustin Gabbard
By Natasha Singer
LinkedIn is the industry leader in helping people make work connections. Log on, and this professional-networking site displays a sampling of "people you may know" — often including colleagues at a user's own workplace — with whom to start hobnobbing.
Now, however, four people are suing LinkedIn, contending that one of the site's networking features cost them job opportunities.
The LinkedIn service in question is called "Reference Search." It is available only to premium account holders, who pay a monthly fee. An employer or recruiter can use it to generate a list of people in its own network who worked at the same company at the same time as a job candidate. It also allows premium members to use the site's messaging system to contact people who appear on those lists, without notifying a job candidate.
In Sweet v. LinkedIn, a class-action suit filed last month in Northern California, the plaintiffs contended that LinkedIn, in providing the job reference material, enabled potential employers to "anonymously dig into the employment history of any LinkedIn member, and make hiring and firing decisions based upon the information they gather," without ensuring that the information was accurate. This, they said, is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
"You may never know you did not get the job based on one of these so-called references," said James L. Davidson, one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs.
Joseph Roualdes, a spokesman for LinkedIn, says the company takes member privacy very seriously and intends to vigorously fight the lawsuit, whose claims it sees as without merit.
"A reference search, which is only available to premium account holders, simply lets a searcher locate people in their network who have worked at the same company during the same time period as a member they would like to learn more about," Mr. Roualdes said in an email. "A reference search does not reveal any of that member's nonpublic information."
Whatever the suit's merits, the case illustrates how social media sites have become an essential tool for many employers and recruiters, a productive fish bowl in which to trawl for, identify, observe and vet job candidates. It also suggests that many job seekers may be unaware of the techniques a company can use to parse the information they have publicly posted online — with possible consequences for their career prospects.
The legislators who enacted the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970 did not anticipate social media. They were concerned about protecting consumers who might be unfairly denied a mortgage, a rental apartment or a job because of incorrect credit histories. Among other things, the law requires companies called consumer reporting agencies — which compile and share consumers' information with third parties for pre-employment background screening — to make sure that their reports are as accurate as possible. Customers of those agencies must also inform a consumer if he or she is being denied a job based on information in those reports.
Today, it is standard practice for employers and job recruiters themselves to scour social media to identify job candidates. But the situation becomes more complicated when they hire outside firms to compile reports on potential employees.
Over the last few years, federal regulators have been looking into online intelligence brokers that compile dossiers on consumers that could be used to disqualify someone from being hired — a practice industry professionals refer to as "knockout" screening.
In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against Spokeo, an online data broker. The agency contended that the company had marketed reports to recruiters and background screeners without providing consumers with protections afforded by the law. The company agreed to pay $800,000 to settle the accusations. Spokeo.com now says: "Utilizing Spokeo's platform for purposes of employee screening is strictly prohibited."
In an interview last week, Julie Brill, a member of the F.T.C., said: "We have made clear that the F.C.R.A. applies to services offered over the Internet and mobile apps." (Ms. Brill was speaking generally about the law; she declined to comment on the LinkedIn litigation.)
The suit against LinkedIn contends that the law should apply to its reference lists. According to the complaint, the lead plaintiff, Tracee Sweet of Suwanee, Ga., applied for a job at a hotel chain via LinkedIn. She says she was denied the job because the hotel company, without telling her in advance, used the site's search service to locate references.
"People join LinkedIn to improve their chances of getting a job and it looks as if the LinkedIn product was being used to prescreen people to prevent them from getting jobs," said Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at the United States Public Interest Research Group.
But LinkedIn differs from the online intelligence gatherers and apps that the F.T.C. has cited as consumer reporting agencies.
While many people are not familiar with the business-to-business companies that compile reports on job candidates for employers or recruiters, millions of people have voluntarily posted their career histories on LinkedIn with the express purpose of broadening their professional networks and improving their job prospects. To join LinkedIn, consumers must consent to the company's user agreement; it gives the company the right "use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process information and content" that members contribute.
"LinkedIn is not scraping the Internet and putting together a report," said Katharine H. Parker, a lawyer at Proskauer Rose who specializes in employment-law compliance and is not involved in the LinkedIn case. "This is information people have voluntarily consented to provide to others." She added: "If you don't like how LinkedIn operates, you can terminate your account."
In the site's premium-member help center, LinkedIn says its reference search "locates people in your network who can provide reliable feedback about a job candidate." It also refers to the people whose names are generated as "trusted references for job candidates."
Even so, many LinkedIn members may not understand that a recruiter or prospective employer may run reference searches on them or that the "trusted references" generated may have only a tangential connection to them.
While I was interviewing Mr. Davidson, the plaintiffs' lawyer, he logged into LinkedIn and ran a reference search on me. The search produced a list of 43 people in his network who currently work or have done work for this newspaper — including a former I.T. consultant, a freelance contributor and two former interns. I had met only four people on that reference list, and none of them had direct experience working with me.
Sophisticated recruiters would not waste their time contacting people who clearly had no connection of significance to a job candidate. Even so, said Anita Ramasastry, a professor at the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle, such practices seem problematic.
"A company can now decide which people associated with you can be curators of your reputation in situations that matter," she said. "These are fundamental life decisions that matter to people economically."

After hearing about the website matchingdonors.com in a podcast about a transplant, Anna Cuthbertson was intrigued. The U.S. Army veteran and San Francisco police officer learned more and after finding out the risks were lower and the procedure was less invasive than she thought, she wanted to become a donor herself.
Cuthbertson decided to help 64-year-old Joan Grealis after finding her profile on the website, but after eight months of testing, the women learned they weren't a match. But they were put into a registry of pairs of people who want to donate and receive organs but aren't a match for each other. And Cuthbertson was eventually matched to a stranger, whose donor, in turn, matched perfectly with someone else. The chain eventually included 18 people, nine donors and nine recipients, including Grealis.

Q: Modeling by example: by Thomas Funkhouser currently Im working on a portion on this research paper "modeling by example"
Have tonnes of problems now.So if anyone has knowledge on this paper, help is badly needed here.
I am using java opengl for the programming.
first of is that I am trying to draw a stroke. eg: 5*100 pixels stroke.
How do I draw that using the mouse.Currently I draw using gl_line_strip. Which only gives me the x,y coordinates of all the points in the line. But what I want is all the points in the area covered by the stroke.
Thanks for the help...

A: If you want to find the pixels drawn by your 2D curve, I would recommend using the stencil buffer.  You clear it before drawing your line strip and then retrieve it using glReadPixels.  You will need to scan through the image, but this will give you all pixels touched by the line drawing command.

Trendy New Excuse for Using Women for Sex: 'Her Profile Pic Was Misleading'
PSA: Some dudes are actually the worst.
By Faye Brennan
No one likes false advertising. It sucks to be duped by bogus claims—and everyone has a different way of coping with that. You could go on an angry Twitter rant, post a scathing review on Yelp, or, if you're on Tinder, you can feel 100 percent entitled to a one-night stand. Wait, what?
RELATED: So This is When You're More Likely to Have a One Night Stand
Let us explain: As part of a soon-to-be-published study about online dating and, more specifically, Tinder, researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK found that men who feel they've been misled by a woman's profile—especially her picture—feel justified in using those same women for sex. You know, as payback...
Sign up for Women's Health's new newsletter, So This Happened, to get the day's trending stories and health studies.
Here are a couple of super-thoughtful insights on that from participants in the study:
"It's Tinder—I would say your chances of getting sex go up if a girl's lied on her profile."
"I've been very misled by very selective pictures and angles when the person isn't as attractive, or as slim, or sporty as they make out on pictures. I try to swerve [British slang for bail] if possible, or get something out of it."
It's clear that these men feel like they are owed something for being let down. And yet, they are probably guilty of beefing up their photos, too. As the study's author, Jenny van Hooff, Ph.D., explained at a conference yesterday, dating apps like Tinder encourage both men and women to "present the best possible branded version of themselves." Usually, that involves a little photo editing.
RELATED: Ladies, I Need Your Help: Why Am I Getting Rejected on Tinder?
"Regardless of gender, when someone misrepresents their looks online, it's normal to feel disappointed," says Megan Fleming, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and relationship expert in New York City. "But it seems like this study is only representing those who think opportunistically about getting their own immediate needs and desires met."
So you can relax a bit. Not every guy is going to exhibit creepy frat-bro behavior if you don't look like that Valencia-filtered profile pic. But, to err on the precautious side, Fleming suggests only including pics that really look like you in your profile.
Also, keep in mind that your date might not call the next day, and you may never see him again. Knowing that, ask yourself if you are still interested in having sex? If the answer is yes, then go for it. If it's no, don't let your date make you feel like you "owe it to them." Hail for the check, and call it a night.
[Editor's Note: A previous version of this post did not include Fleming's input.]

London-born and Montreal-based artist Jeremy Price currently has a show of his recent paintings at Strand Fine Art. I had seen some of his work previously in group shows and was very taken with it, so when an artist reception was scheduled for this past Saturday I made a point of getting there so I could meet him.
The tall man on the right is Jeremy Price. I introduced myself and was surprised (and kind of thrilled) when he said he follows my blog (I had featured a couple of his paintings in posts I had written). There were quite a few members of Price's family present, and the little girl in the pink dress in the bottom right is his niece, who charmed everyone at the reception.
The city of Montreal, where Price has lived since 2008, is the main inspiration for his work. The paintings were divided into three sections: scenes from rural and wilderness settings, scenes of urban life in Montreal and scenes of Montreal streets in winter.
Price is a master when it comes to the depiction of light and shadow and this was the first thing that drew me to his work. He paints in oil on canvas, using a palette knife, and works from photographs. One can always tell where the light is coming from in his paintings; his skill at capturing the quality of light, whether filtered through a grove of trees, the blue of twilight, or diffused by a cloudy winter sky, is exceptional.
Some of the titles of his paintings sound like lines from a narrative, as in the one above titled, Keep a Little Fire Burning, However Small, However Hidden.
Price has depicted the interiors of Montreal pubs in previous works, but the more recent ones in this show have a more abstract quality - the paint application is rougher, with fewer details. They perfectly capture the atmosphere of a darkened drinking establishment during the afternoon with light pouring through the front windows Part of what I like about his paintings are that they walk the line between abstract and realism, and Price has ability to make your eye believe it is seeing more detail in his work than is actually there.
Price's paintings capture a moment in time - a "snapshot" of the scenes he sees while walking, cycling or driving the streets of Montreal.
This is one of my favourite pieces in the show, titled Partly Melted by The Prior Days Sun. The subject is a common scene to most urban dwellers during the winter, but Price's rendering of the blue light of late afternoon creating shadows of parked cars on a snow-covered sidewalk turns the everyday into an arresting piece of art.
Just before I left the reception, I notice this small painting on the wall behind the drink table. The title is Wayne Decle, which may be the name of the man who owned the denim jacket. Rendered in an abstract style, the subject is clearly apparent and Price has given it character and gravitas.
Oh, wow, I really love these paintings! He really is awesome at capturing the light - it's very difficult to paint with a palette knife alone (I have tried!), and that's a real skill. I would buy any of those, but I especially like the top pub one (I can see why it's sold!).
I can feel the scenes he has painted. The sense of smell is incredibly powerful in evoking certain memories; I find his paintings do that with the sense of light he captures.
Wow! I really love his style. So fabulous this is done with a palette knife.
I can see why you like his work. His style reminds me of one of my favorite artists Terry Miura.
How cool that Jeremy reads your blog!
Beautiful review Shelley! You capture the essence of these stunning paintings. Makes me want to visit Montreal next week!
What a treat, Shelly! His work is not just atmospheric, they can heat or cool a room ... who knew you could paint the temperature of a scene as well as the light.
Great art commentary Shelley and great photos of the art too. They don't always go hand-in-hand. He's lucky indeed to have you as a friend. Thanks.
Yes, he really is very good at light and shadow, isn't he?! Way cool!
Gorgeous, thank you for sharing this work.
This is looking really wonderful dear. I also had been to a similar event at event space nyc last month. It was a great experience and I enjoyed a lot there with learning lots of new things.

Q: Problema con sockets y concurrencia en python (muchos clientes) estoy experimentando con python, la intención es hacer una estructura como la siguiente

La idea es que un cliente se comunica con el servidor central, este le envía un menú para preguntar sobre el horóscopo o el clima, el cliente le dice lo que quiere, el servidor central consulta a quien corresponda, la respuesta vuelve al servidor central y es este el que le da la respuesta al cliente (si no me equivoco, esto se diría que el servidor central actúa como proxy)
Hasta acá todo simple, esta idea me funciono excelente con un solo cliente, PERO mi problema fue cuando quise añadir concurrencia. Al momento de que hay muchos cliente, aunque lanze muchos hilos estos no terminan trabajando. Adjunto código comentado, no se si alguno me puede ayudar, estoy seguro que es de 1 a 10 líneas de código que hay que agregar para solucionar esto. Es la primera vez que trabajo con concurrencia en python (trabaje un montón con java) y con sockets en mi vida.
Lo que considero importante en el problema que esta en el cliente: creo que nada, porque para un solo cliente funciona bien, aunque uso hilos de la siguiente manera para probar con muchos clientes de la siguiente forma

Nota: al momento de ejecutar que todo este en una misma carpeta. Si ejecutan solo la parte relevante del servidor y el cliente, primero el servidor y después el cliente.
Donde puede estar el problema es en los metodos start y handle_client de servidor y en send_client_request_predefined y clients_generator de cliente.


One of he most popular Freelance Ranger activities is mud faces. Mud is great to play with and we all know what faces should look like. This a great activity where everyone can get really creative using natural materials. We can leave our tree faces behind at the end of the day for other people to see while we take a mud head back home with us to remind us of our day.
I bring water, towels and wipes etc to get everyone clean again at the end, or another alternative is to do a water activity like my water lab or bubbles activities to get clean again.I have gloves if people really don't want to get muddy and anyone with eczema or broken skin on their hands should also consider doing this.
This activity goes well with any of the other arty crafty activities and also is a bit of fun after building a shelter or making a den.
