Demonstration against the proposed power plant.
Japan's nuclear crisis has fuelled public unease in India over ambitious government plans to ramp up nuclear power capacity to feed the country's growing, energy-hungry economy.
India – both a civilian and a military nuclear power – currently has 20 reactors.
It plans to spend an estimated US$175 billion (B5.3 billion) to buy an additional 21 foreign reactors to reach a nuclear power capacity of 63,000 megawatts by 2032, from the current level of 4,560 megawatts.
The enthusiasm for nuclear power was galvanised by a 2008 deal ending a decades-old ban on US atomic civilian trade with India, but recent events are sowing doubts about the potential consequences should anything go wrong.
Writing in the DNA newspaper recently, the former head of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), A Gopalakrishnan, said India contrasted poorly with Japan's "superb" disaster management organisation.
"In India, we are most disorganised and unprepared for the handling of emergencies of any kind," he warned.
Last week a top Indian scientist and other leading figures wrote an open letter describing the crisis in Japan as a "wake-up call" for India and urging the government to "radically review" its nuclear policy.
"Pending the review, there should be a moratorium on all further nuclear activity, and revocation of recent clearances for nuclear projects," said P Balaram, head of the Indian Institute of Science.
Meanwhile, a survey of nearly 10,000 people by pollsters Chanakya, showed 77 per cent of Indians were worried about atomic safety and 69 per cent did not believe India could handle a nuclear disaster on the scale of that at Japan's Fukushima plant.
Premier Manmohan Singh has pledged that India will make the AERB more independent and increase transparency in operating nuclear plants.
But there are questions as to how serious any commitment would be, especially after India's current atomic energy regulator, Srikumar Banerjee, said recently that driving or walking on New Delhi's notoriously lethal streets posed more of a threat than the country's reactors.
The Japanese crisis has focused domestic attention on India's plans to construct what would be one of the world's largest nuclear plants at Jaitapur – in a seismically sensitive region of Maharashtra state.
French company Areva has signed a US$9.3 billion (B280 billion) deal to supply the first two of Jaitapur's six planned third-generation pressurised water reactors.
But the region has experienced 92 earthquakes since 1985, including one measuring 6.2, according to environmental group Greenpeace.
"The dangers have been swept under the carpet," Greenpeace spokesman Hofeza Merchant said.
"With our corrupt and poor quality practices inherent in the system, it is very dangerous to meddle with such high-risk projects," said B Ramakrishnam Raju, convenor of the National Alliance of People's Movements.
But the Indian government shows no signs of veering away from its nuclear plans, which it says are needed to help supply electricity to the 500 million Indians who are still without power.
India's fast-growing economy has no choice but to tap all sources of energy, Prime Minister Singh said last week.
"Nuclear energy has the potential of playing an increasingly important role in giving our country energy independence", he added.

Explore Chamizal History
For hundreds of miles the Rio Grande separates the United States and Mexico, forming the international border. And for a century, the changing course of that river was the cause of international disagreements. In the mid-nineteenth century, a dispute arose concerning a section of privately-owned farmland between the settlements that grew into El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. Beginning in 1895, Mexico laid formal claim to the tract of land that became known as the Chamizal. The Mexican claim led to counter-claims by the United States, and over the years, the dispute became a major impasse. This led to prolonged negotiation, arbitration, and further disagreement in the first half of the twentieth century. By this time, Chamizal had grown into an international issue that strained diplomatic relations. Compounding the already complex issue was the tract of land known as Cordova Island, a detached part of Mexico on the north side of the Rio Grande, which adjoined the Chamizal tract. With the title to Chamizal disputed and Mexico's Cordova Island protruding into El Paso, the situation demanded resolution. In 1962, US President John F. Kennedy and Mexico's President Adolfo López Mateos moved to break the deadlock. A plan was developed to construct a new concrete-lined channel for the Rio Grande that would bisect Chamizal and Cordova. All the land south of the channel would go to Mexico, and the land to the north would go to the United States. After Kennedy's death in 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson completed negotiations which resulted in the Chamizal Treaty of 1963. The final agreement was signed in 1967 and water was diverted into the new channel the following year. It was not just parcels of land that were affected by the treaty. About five thousand residents of El Paso who had occupied the disputed territory were forced to relocate, along with businesses and industries. The US Congress set aside a portion of the land acquired from Mexico as Chamizal National Memorial. Here the National Park Service presents activities that celebrate the cultural traditions of the people who share the borderlands, and we commemorate the peaceful settlement of a long-standing border dispute. One of our purposes is to promote respect and understanding among people of different cultures by sharing art forms. Ever since the Memorial opened to the public, we have helped local performing groups, groups from across the country, and from other countries as well present music, plays, dance, and other kinds of performances. The staff of the Memorial truly believes that by sharing our art and culture, we learn more about each other and become better friends. Welcome to Chamizal National Memorial.

If you own GMC Terrain, your headlights may be considered too bright for oncoming drivers.
General Motors is recalling 2010 through 2017 GMC Terrain models, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, due to low-beam headlights that do not coincide with federal safety standards and may result in a glaring toward oncoming traffic.
A total of 740,581 are effected by the recall.
Consumer Reports indicates mailed notices will go out April 3, however, there currently is a not fix and dealers are required to hold off from selling or trading models with customers and fellow dealers.

Clumsy street cleaners crach £44k war memorial while trying to clear off SNOW
George Bennett from the Royal British Legion at the Peterborough War Memorial which was apparently damaged after workers used shovels to chip ice and snow from it
Clumsy street cleaners have smashed the base of a new £44,000 war memorial – as they tried to clear off snow.
The statue was erected in Peterborough, Cambs., last June after being moved from its original position hidden behind the city's cathedral.
But residents now fear it has been damaged by over-zealous cleaners hacking at the snow with spades.
Big Issue seller John Chivers recalled how the cleaning crew arrived at the brand new monument on Wednesday afternoon.
He said: "They started clearing the snow off the monument, first of all with a broom, then they started at the ice beneath with metal shovels.
"I thought at the time 'that's not a good idea' but I figured they must know what they were doing."
The next morning he noticed cracks in the memorial's limestone base.
George Bennett, chair of the Royal British Legion Peterborough branch, campaigned for a new memorial for 12 years and said: "When I saw it, I could have cried.
The damage on the war memorial following the snow
"It's definitely been done with something metal – it's vandalism."
He added: "It's been my pet project for the last 12 years.
"It took two years for residents to raise the £45,000 it cost to put the memorial up.
The unveiling ceremony for the War Memorial in Bridge Street before it was damaged
"It's only been up for six months and every once in a while I check in on it.
"I was walking by this morning when I discovered what had happened. I'm absolutely livid."
But Enterprise Peterborough – who employed the city cleaners – have said their workers only used brushes to clear the snow.
A spokesman for the organisation said: "We first alerted the city council to the damage when we removed the wreaths and snow from the war memorial.
"We have assured the council the memorial was treated with due care and only brushes were used in the process."
A council spokeswoman added: "Clearly it is disappointing to see any damage to the war memorial so soon after installation. We will now be investigating what has caused this.
"We can assure residents that we will return the war memorial to its former glory as quickly as possible."
The monument design is based on the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire and was funded almost entirely by public donations.
It was officially dedicated by Very Rev Charles Taylor at a ceremony on the 25 June 2012 and was unveiled by the Duke of Gloucester at another ceremony in August which included a flypast by two Spitfires.

I think this is damage from the frost. The stone has got wet, into the joints and when it froze in the cold weather it has caused the stone to spall. Nothing to do with shovel damage.

Kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Kohlenstoffe (, CFRC; , RCC oder , CFC) sind Verbundwerkstoffe, die vollständig aus Kohlenstoff bestehen.

CFC-Werkstoffe bestehen aus Kohlenstofffasern von ca. 5–10 µm Durchmesser (≈ des Durchmessers eines menschlichen Haares), die in einer Matrix aus reinem Kohlenstoff eingebettet sind. Sie verleihen dem Werkstoff seine hohe mechanische Stabilität. Die Matrix aus Kohlenstoff nimmt von außen wirkende Kräfte auf und verteilt sie im Gefüge.

Allgemeines
CFC-Werkstoffe lassen sich bei Temperaturen bis zu 3000 °C unter Schutzgas oder im Vakuum einsetzen. Sie vertragen extreme Temperaturschocks wie zum Beispiel das Eintauchen in Eiswasser aus 1500 °C heißem Zustand. Auch zeichnen sich CFC-Werkstoffe durch ein sehr tolerantes Verhalten gegenüber mechanischen Belastungen aus. Während traditionelle Keramiken, wie z. B. Siliziumkarbid oder reiner, unverstärkter Graphit durch Schläge oder Vibrationen aufgrund ihres spröden Verhaltens schnell in viele Teile zerbrechen, lassen sich CFC-Verbundwerkstoffe förmlich an die Wand nageln, ohne zu bersten. Diese Eigenschaft, mechanische Einwirkungen lokal zu begrenzen, erhöht die Betriebssicherheit von CFC-Bauteilen maßgeblich.

Dank der außergewöhnlich hohen chemischen und thermischen Beständigkeit eignet sich CFC-Material für Einsätze, bei denen Kontakt mit hochkorrosiven, heißen Medien besteht. Ein Beispiel hierfür sind die Tragroste für Rektifikationskolonnen zur Flusssäurerückgewinnung. Auch die extrem hohe Reinheit von CFC-Werkstoffen kann für manche Anwendungen eine große Rolle spielen. In der Halbleiterindustrie etwa bestehen die Stützen der Tiegel im Kristallziehverfahren aus CFC-Material.

Herstellung
CFC-Werkstoffe werden in drei Schritten hergestellt.
 Zunächst werden Kohlenstofffasern in einer Form mit einem organischen Bindemittel wie Kunststoff oder Pech fixiert. Oft werden dem Bindemittel kohlenstoffreiche Zuschläge wie Koks beigemengt, um den anschließenden Verkohlungsprozess zu beschleunigen.
 Im zweiten Schritt wird das gebundene Material unter Luftausschluss erhitzt, so dass sich die organischen Materialien zu relativ reinem Kohlenstoff pyrolysieren. Dabei findet ein Ausgasungsprozess und daraus resultierend eine Volumenverkleinerung statt, wodurch das Material eine poröse Struktur erhält.
 Im letzten Schritt werden die Poren durch Gasphasenabscheidung von Kohlenstoff aus einer gasförmigen Kohlenstoffquelle, wie zum Beispiel Ethin, bei hohen Temperaturen über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Tagen geschlossen. Durch die Hitzebehandlung bilden sich im Material außerdem größere Graphitkristalle. Dieser letzte Schritt ist hauptsächlich für den hohen Preis von CFC-Materialien verantwortlich, welcher unter Umständen 100.000 $ pro Werkstück überschreiten kann.

Eigenschaften
Wie alle Verbundwerkstoffe kombinieren CFC-Materialien die typischen Eigenschaften ihrer Werkstoffkomponenten (Matrixwerkstoff und Faserwerkstoff). Deren gezielte Zusammenstellung eröffnet vielfältige Möglichkeiten, CFC-Materialien für bestimmte Anwendungen zu modifizieren. Weitere Angriffspunkte zur Steuerung der Produkteigenschaften sind spezielle Verarbeitungstechnologien und Herstellverfahren.

Das allgemeine Eigenschaftsprofil von CFC-Materialien lässt sich wie folgt beschreiben:
 hohe thermische Stabilität (kein Verspröden, kein Verziehen)
 hohe mechanische Belastbarkeit
 hohe Thermoschockbeständigkeit
 hohe mechanische Stabilität (pseudo-duktiles Bruchverhalten)
 hohe Reinheit (bis < 10 ppm)
 hohe chemische Beständigkeit
 niedrige Dichte (ca. 1,6 g/cm³)

Anwendungen
Die Wurzeln der CFC-Technik liegen in der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie. Noch heute dient CFC als Material für Boosterdüsen in Raketenmotoren. Die Wärmeschutzverkleidung von Raumgleitern wie dem Space Shuttle bestehen ebenfalls aus CFC-Werkstoffen. Die Bandbreite der CFC-Anwendungen ist jedoch in den vergangenen Jahren rasant gewachsen. Inzwischen haben CFC-Materialien in zahlreichen Anwendungen Einzug gehalten.

Erstmals für Bremsen entwickelt und verwendet wurden Carbon-Werkteile in den Bremsen des Überschall-Flugzeuges Concorde. Zum Zeitpunkt der Praxisreife im Jahr 1971 hatte Dunlop dank der Concorde zehn Jahre Forschungserfahrung und die Bremsen konnten ab dem vierten Serienflugzeug eingebaut werden. Danach wurden Bremsscheiben aus CFC in militärisch und zivil genutzten Flugzeugen eingesetzt.

Bei der Wärmebehandlung von Metallen, wie zum Beispiel dem Härten, Löten oder Sintern, verdrängen Gestelle aus CFC-Verbundmaterialien solche aus Stahl immer mehr, u. a. da letztere in der kohlenstoffhaltigen Atmosphäre von Härteöfen zur Versprödung durch das Eindringen von Kohlenstoff neigen – dem so genannten Aufkohlen. Daneben zeigen Stahlgestelle einen starken Materialverzug bei den herrschenden Temperaturen von bis zu 1300 °C im Härtevorgang und dem ständigen Temperaturwechsel. Die hohe spezifische Wärmekapazität der Gestelle ist ein weiterer gravierender Nachteil, der den Energieverbrauch in die Höhe treibt. Gestelle aus CFC-Material sind hier aufgrund ihrer niedrigen Dichte (Dichte CFC: ca. 1,6 g/cm³; Dichte Stahl: 7,9 g/cm³) um ein Vielfaches leichter. Wegen ihres sehr niedrigen Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten in Faserrichtung, der um das 24-fache unter dem Wert für Stahl liegt, verziehen sich Gestelle aus kohlenstofffaserverstärkten Kohlenstoffen auch nach mehreren Einsätzen im Härteofen nicht. Der thermische Verzug von Stahlgestellen ist dagegen hoch, so dass konventionelle Gestelle aus Stahl oder Hochtemperaturmetallen im Härtereibetrieb immer wieder gerichtet werden müssen. CFC-Gestelle oxidieren oberhalb ca. 400 °C an Luft, insofern kommen diese im Regelfall nur in reduzierenden Ofenatmosphären oder im (technischen) Vakuum zum Einsatz.

In der Hohlglasindustrie kommt CFC als Ersatzwerkstoff für Asbest zum Einsatz. Überall dort, wo glühendes Glas bewegt wird (), ist CFC als Kontaktmaterial in Rollen, Führungen und Greifern zu finden.

In der Halbleiterindustrie steht die extreme Reinheit der CFC-Materialien im Vordergrund. Der Gehalt an Fremdatomen erreicht Werte unter 10 ppm und ist in manchen Einsatzgebieten gefordert. Bei der Kristallzucht etwa stützen hochreine CFC-Außentiegel solche aus Quarzglas, die das geschmolzene Silizium aufnehmen. Mithilfe eines Impfkristalls entstehen hieraus meterlange Einkristalle (Ingots). Außerdem dienen CFC-Materialien auch als Widerstandsheizer in solchen Öfen und als Abschirmung für Wärmestrahlung.

Ein sehr modernes und zugleich extremes Anwendungsbeispiel für CFC-Material ist der Einsatz als First-Wall-Auskleidung von Fusionsreaktoren. Im Inneren dieser Reaktoren werden Temperaturen von 100 Millionen °C benötigt, um die Kernfusion in Gang zu setzen. Das Plasma ist extrem empfindlich gegenüber Verunreinigungen, so dass sich nur sehr wenige Materialien überhaupt für diese Anwendung eignen. Hier sorgt der sehr günstige Mix aus hoher Temperaturbeständigkeit, Wärmeleitfähigkeit, mechanischer Belastbarkeit und Reinheit dafür, dass sich die CFC-Faserverbundkeramiken durchgesetzt haben.

Die wichtigsten Anwendungen von CFC-Materialien im Überblick:
 Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik
 Reaktortechnik
 Apparatebau
 Ofenbau
 Halbleiterindustrie
 Hohlglasindustrie
 Wärmebehandlung
 Sintern
 Löten (Hart-/Hochtemperaturlöten)

Little Hope of Esports in Olympics After IOC Says "Premature" to Talk of it as Medal Event
Photo: Gabriel Gagne via Wikimedia Commons
By Duncan Mackay |
Any hopes that esports had of becoming an Olympic sport in the near future appear to have been dashed after senior International Olympic Committee officials, led by President Thomas Bach, claimed talk of it becoming a medal event is "premature."
The topic was among a number of key issues discussed during the 7th Olympic Summit – a meeting of the leading figures in world sport – in Lausanne today.
"Recognizing the fact that the sports movement is in competition with the esports/egames industry for the leisure time of young people, the Summit agreed that the Olympic Movement should not ignore its growth, particularly because of its popularity among young generations around the world," the IOC said in a communique published following the meeting.
"It was agreed that competitive gaming entails physical activity which can be compared to that required in more traditional sports.
"This, on the other hand, cannot necessarily be said to apply to leisure electronic gaming.
"For this reason, the use of the term sport with regard to esports/egames needs further dialogue and study.
"It was agreed that the Olympic Movement should continue to engage with this community, whilst at the same time acknowledging that uncertainties remain."
The momentum esports appeared to be making towards Olympic inclusion seemed to have been stalled by the premature death in October of Patrick Baumann, the President of the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) and the IOC member who appeared most enthusiastic about promoting them.
Another blow to esports has been the recent sidelining of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, the President of the Olympic Council of Asia, who is another keen supporter.
He was behind their inclusion as a full medal sport on the program at the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Ashgabat and as a demonstration event at this year's Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.
Among the problems with esports identified by the Olympic Summit was that some games are violent and, therefore, "are not compatible with the Olympic values and therefore cooperation with them is excluded."
They also pointed to the fact that the industry is evolving rapidly with the changing popularity of specific games and the rapid development towards augmented reality and virtual reality, the fragmented nature of the industry and the fact that it is commercially driven.
"For all these reasons, a discussion about the inclusion of esports/egames as a medal event on the Olympic program is premature," the communique said.
"The Summit advises major sports events organizers within the Olympic Movement to respect this principle for their own competitions.
"A number of these uncertainties do not apply to esports simulation games.
"Because of this, accelerated cooperation with regard to these kinds of esports is encouraged by the Summit.
"The Summit encourages the IFs (International Federations) to explore the potential benefits and applications of the electronic and virtual versions of their sports."
The IOC urged the International Federations to ensure "they gain or retain appropriate control over the electronic/virtual versions of their sports" and restrict "their engagement to activation in the e-versions and virtual forms of their traditional sports."

It's reported that pensioners, who currently avail of free travel, could be asked to pay €5 for some journeys.
PENSIONERS COULD BE asked to pay a contribution towards some public transport journeys as part of a new budget proposal.
According to a report in today's Irish Independent a subsidy of €5 could be placed on some longer rail or bus journeys.
The government spends €77 million a year on the free transport programme, which is under review as part of a wider review of all expenditure within the Department of Social Protection.
Earlier this month Minister Joan Burton said that the free travel scheme is much valued and that the review may actually offer opportunities to strengthen it.
Fionnan Sheahan's report also predicts that cuts to the electricity and TV licence allowance could also be on the way.
What do you think? Should pensioners contribute towards their public transport travel?

I was wondering why this output is now (after upgrade to WP 5.5) not working anymore?

A fast fix is using the option date_format:
echo get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ) );

I looked into Wordpress Developer https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_date/#source looks like it suppose also to work when the option 'date_time' is empty:
function get_the_date( $format = '', $post = null ) {
    $post = get_post( $post );

    if ( ! $post ) {
        return false;
    }

    if ( '' === $format ) { // <-- check for empty value
        $the_date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), false, $post, true );
    } else {
        $the_date = get_post_time( $format, false, $post, true );
    }

    return apply_filters( 'get_the_date', $the_date, $format, $post );
}

Why does the output of get_the_date(get_option('date_time')) in the template doesnt work with Wordpress 5.5?

A: Okay I found the issue, it's like I thought. The problem is that get_option( 'date_time' ) return just false.
The change happened in the funtion get_the_date().
In Wordpress 5.4 is looked like that in the general-template.php:
function get_the_date( $format = '', $post = null ) {
    $post = get_post( $post );

    if ( ! $post ) {
        return false;
    }

    if ( '' == $format ) {
        $the_date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), false, $post, true );
    } else {
        $the_date = get_post_time( $format, false, $post, true );
    }

    return apply_filters( 'get_the_date', $the_date, $format, $post );
}

Since Wordpress 5.5 the general-template.php looks like that:
function get_the_date( $format = '', $post = null ) {
    $post = get_post( $post );

    if ( ! $post ) {
        return false;
    }

    if ( '' === $format ) {
        $the_date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), false, $post, true );
    } else {
        $the_date = get_post_time( $format, false, $post, true );
    }

    return apply_filters( 'get_the_date', $the_date, $format, $post );
}

The difference is just in the type true comparison operators
// Wordpress 5.4
if ( '' == $format )

// vs

// Wordpress 5.5
if ( '' === $format )

Bugfix?!
I think the correct solution would be to check for and empty or false $format. Something like that:
if ( '' === $format || false === $format )

Según he leído, Miuccia Prada tenía previsto renovar la imagen de la marca y lo que se puede decir es que no quede por intentarlo!.
Diseños muy visuales, diferentes estampados, estética años 60 y 70. El Art Nouveau y reminiscencias del New Look de Dior se fusionan en una colección sensible, expresiva y vaporosa. Las imágenes regalan una idea de "jardín encantado", donde las prendas aparecen envolviendo a las hadas del bosque.
Un colección ecléctica, femenina y muy privada. Personalmente, me quedo con los vestidos (que no con las faldas ni los dibujos de hadas) y la mezcla de estampados en cárdigans y pantalones amplios.
Por cierto, una paleta de colores bastante poco veranil, interesante.

The appellant is a failed asylum-seeker from Iran. Following his discharge from hospital after a suicide attempt he was assessed as needing regular sessions with mental health professionals, counselling, and meetings with a social worker.
The respondent council argued it had no duty to provide him with accommodation under the National Assistance Act 1948, s 21(1)(a) as the appellant was not in need of "care and attention" for the purposes of that Act – his weekly meetings with a social worker only constitute a means of monitoring what care and attention he may require in future. Also, any assistance the appellant may need is, in any event, "otherwise available" because it is available to him regardless of his accommodation arrangements.
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, concluding that the Council does not owe a duty to provide the appellant with accommodation. There are three cumulative conditions which must be satisfied before accommodation must be provided under s 21(1)(a) of the 1948 Act: the person must be in need of "care and attention"; the need must arise by reason of age, disability, illness or other circumstances; and the necessary care and attention must not be available otherwise than by the provision of accommodation under s 21. The Council was reasonably entitled to find that the first and third of these conditions were not satisfied in this case.
The Court of Appeal was wrong to read the word "available" in s 21(1)(a) as meaning not merely available in fact but available in a manner that is reasonably practicable. Whether the criterion of "not otherwise available" is satisfied is best left to the judgment of the local authority concerned.

Frankfurt is the financial center of Europe. It is home to the European Central Bank and is one of the wealthiest cities in Germany. As the only city in the country to feature skyscrapers, Frankfurt has a skyline that is its best-known landmark. The city is also known for its world-class museums and apple wine.
The city is not just modern buildings. Visit the Old Town (Altstadt) to get a sense of how Frankfurt looked before it became the financial capital of the European Union. Though much of the city was destroyed in Allied bombing during World War II, many of the buildings of the Old Town were salvaged or faithfully rebuilt. Gabled townhouses make up the Römer, Frankfurt's town hall since the 15th century. The gothic clock tower of the ancient Frankfurt Cathedral looms overhead.
Frankfurt has many world-class museums. More than 10 of them are located in Museumsufer (Museum Embankment), an area along the south side of the Main River in the Sachsenhausen district. Among the museums is the German Museum of Architecture, the Senckenberg, a natural history museum, and the Städel, which has an impressive collection of art that spans more than 700 years. Across the river, visit the Museum of Modern Art to see one of the best collections of post-World War II and contemporary art in the world.
In addition to the German staples of beer and sausage, Frankfurt has its own culinary specialties. Eat Handkäse mit Musik, which is a tart cheese served with onions, or Grüne Soße, a tangy green sauce typically served with eggs and potatoes. Accompany it with Ebbelwoi, apple wine. Sachsenhausen provides plenty of traditional bars and restaurants in which to sample these special Frankfurt concoctions.
Frankfurt has one of the most extensive subway systems in the world. Split between the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn, public transportation serves nearly the whole city, as well as the surrounding areas. If you are driving, it is recommended to park near an outer station and take the train from there, because inner-city garages quickly fill up.

Incredible tornado in Oklahoma, and more developing
Deborah Byrd
The huge asteroid 2005 YU55 will sweep closely past the Earth – missing us by 319,000 kilometers (about 200,000 miles) – tomorrow. It'll be the closest known passage of an asteroid this big – but there was an even closer passage to Earth of this same asteroid in 1976, which went undetected. This time, astronomers spotted it ahead of time. Does it make you feel safer – or more vulnerable? I'm not sure how it makes me feel!
On this November 8, 2011 passage, 2005 YU55 will come closer than the moon's distance from Earth, but it will not strike Earth or the moon.
The time of closest passage will be November 8 at 5:28 p.m. CST (23:28 UTC).
The asteroid is 1,300 feet (400 meters) wide. In contrast, the moon is 3,476 kilometers wide. That's 3,476,000 meters for the moon's diameter in contrast to 400 meters for YU55. That's why you don't need to worry about YU55 raising tides on Earth, or causing earthquakes, volcanoes or tsunamis. It's big for an asteroid, but much much smaller than our moon.
2005 YU55 will reach a visual brightness of 11th magnitude. That's very faint for most of us. The asteroid will be visible only to amateur or professional astronomers as it plunges past us and moves on.
How to see 2005 YU55 when it passes Earth on November 8 and 9
NASA in final preparations for large asteroid flyby November 8
Known asteroids come close pretty often. To prove it to yourself, check out this link to passages of near-Earth asteroids in November 2011, from Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Space Calendar. An "AU" is an Earth-sun distance, by the way, or about 93 million miles (150 million km).
Asteroids also come within the moon's distance every so often, but 2005 YU55 is the biggest known asteroid to do so for about the next 17 years, until the year 2028. Still, the asteroid 2005 YU55 poses no immediate threat to Earth. Its orbit is well known to astronomers – so well known that we can rule out an impact for at least the next century.
According to NASA's Near Earth Object Program:
Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years. However, this will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WN5 will pass to within 0.6 lunar distances.
The animation below, from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, shows this asteroid's sweep past Earth on November 8 and 9.

In this animated diagram, Earth appears at the center, with the diagonal line representing Earth's orbit around the sun. The moon is shown orbiting Earth, and you can see that the path of YU55 carries the asteroid inside the moon's orbit. The imagine the scale, remember that the moon's orbit is roughly 770,000 kilometers (475,000 miles) wide. YU55 will miss Earth by 319,000 kilometers (about 200,000 miles) – a nice safe margin.
Asteroid 2005 YU55 in April 2010. (Arecibo Radar Telescope)
Robert McMillan of the Spacewatch Program near Tucson, Arizona discovered YU55 on December 28, 2005. It appears to be a very dark, nearly spherical object.
The closest approach to Earth and the moon will be respectively 0.00217 AU and 0.00160 AU on 2011 November 8 at 23:28 UTC (5:28 p.m. CST) and November 9 at 07:13 UTC (1:13 a.m. CST).
I remember in the 1970s when astronomers were speculating that the Tunguska event in Russia in 1908 was probably caused by a small comet striking Earth. That event – in a remote part of Siberia – killed reindeer and flattened many miles of forest, but essentially did little harm. In the 1970s, the consciousness was just arising that objects in space might strike us. Astronomers began programs to watch for near-Earth asteroids, and it was inevitable that they would find some passing as closely as 2005 YU55 will on November 8.
One of the first programs to watch for near-Earth asteroids, by thew way, was Spacewatch – founded in 1980 by Robert McMillan, who discovered this asteroid 2005 YU55. Spacewatch did what it was supposed to do! It found an asteroid sweeping near us. Presumably, if an asteroid is ever headed straight for us, we'll have some advance warning. But let me emphasize that 2005 YU55 is not a doomsday asteroid. So relax, everyone.
Bright object near moon November 7 is Jupiter, not 2005 YU55
Bottom line: The huge asteroid 2005 YU55 will sweep within the moon's distance from Earth on November 8, 2011. Its orbit is well known to astronomers, and it will not strike Earth or the moon. 2005 YU55 is the largest asteroid ever known to sweep this closely to Earth. There is no danger. It will not raise tides, or cause earthquakes, volcanoes or tsunamis. Both amateur and professional are very curious about this close asteroid passage, which they will be watching with telescopes.

...how about the site administrators join the Facebook page "Mike Oldfield Personal"?
https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/Mikeoldfieldpersonal/
Today details were added related to further deluxe editions from Mike himself which seems to have passed the tubular.net staff by completely. People really shouldn't have to "send you" news via email that has been posted there. Should they?
Perhaps you've just been busy, but I don't know...

OK, quick reply for now.
No it hasn't passed us by! Most of the tb.net admins have also joined Mike/Carolines facebook group. We've made posts on threads there and have made comment here about things said on the facebook group. Korgscrew mentioning the news on Five miles out / Crises deluxe editions in this news thread.
I think I've kinda assumed everyone here is also on facebook and reading Mike and Carolines posts. Maybe we need to figure out a better way of duplicating interesting new news in case people *aren't* picking it up from facebook. For posterity apart from anything else as facebook seems to be a more - of the moment - sort of thing?

Some people are not into Facebook,so to me sounds a nice idea to share what's going on that community regarding Mike's/Caroline's posts in here
"But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014
"I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011
I didn't noitce Korgscrew's mention, possibly because he poster in an older news thread. I thought the fact that work was being carried out on new deluxe editions was a bit of a news item in itself.
Anyway, are you Matt that tubular.net is no longer keeping track on Mike Oldfield news in general now that Mike has his own Facebook page and "everyone" is there?
Inkanta
Posted: Feb. 02 2013, 12:21
Thank you, Lars, for your message. The admins have not had a chance to talk about this as a group yet (and I agree with everything that Matt said).
First off, most of us admins are on FB for one purpose or another and reading MO Personal. I suppose that anyone worried that s/he is missing stuff from Facebook could subscribe, even from a library if they don't have a home computer or smart mobile device. As Matt mentioned, in that we have posted stuff from Mike's Facebook page (as has Caroline), I too, figured tubular.net members would also subscribe there. Lately I have become amazed at the number of people who are not on FB—we assume people are, but they're not. I'm in the middle of planning a class reunion, and while some of the older classes have been organized via Facebook, I can't do that because I have discovered that a lot of my classmates just aren't there. So irritating, last century, etc., but I digress. Anyway……
The way that news has traditionally worked is that sometimes we admins find stuff, sometimes members of the community find items. Often, it's the members that alert us—look back and see how many "thank yous" there are attached to news items. Lots. It is truly a community effort, whether there are five admins or 105 (where we might get lost <-; ). We also need to sort out how much Mike and Caroline want us to post here, as opposed to Caroline posting. Are they ok with us posting everything from Facebook? Is there a different approach? We'll figure this out.
It is so easy to miss stuff on Facebook and it can be very time-consuming to sift the news from the comments. The Amarok Mailing List used to have a filtered distribution list called Elements for people wanting only information who didn't have time to read the entire AML. It was time-consuming to compile. So, with FB we'll need to develop a more efficient method.
I find that one benefit of a forum such as this one compared to Facebook or a discussion list is that usually you can find the topic again! I have a challenging time with that on FB. Facebook doesn't allow for the same organization. Here, you can also discuss stuff in greater depth. Even in the Facebook/social media century, IMHO both pieces are important because they serve different purposes—at least for now. Who knows what the next decade will bring!

Facebook was originally set up just to let people know what you were doing - not to have discussions. And that is where forums like Tubular.net win out.
As Inkanta says, it's next to impossible to find an old comment that you want to add to on Facebook.
So there is a space for both.
My feeling is that any direct comments from Mike or Caroline should be copied here maybe in their own section. Admittedly 90% of the world seems to be on Facebook, but not everyone.
The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

I won't join Facebook for several reasons, so I'm very grateful for the news that's being posted here.
So in that sense, I am very last century!

I also live in a gardenless rented flat but think I'll be ok for a number of months.
For cooking (esp boiling water) I have 1 propane BBQ and 2 full 9kg tanks. I might look at getting a single burner ring for the tanks but I think you need a regulator to reduce the pressure. The BBQ tends to heat the whole cooking plate rather than an area so it probably wouldn't be the most efficient.
After that, I am picking up a multifuel stove in the US on my way through there in the next few weeks. That and the 40 litres of fuel I have should keep me going for a number of months.
The number 1 most important thing to remember when trying to cook things / boil water with limited power or fuel is to cover the tin / saucepan. It will half your boiling time (in fact, you might not be able to boil something without a lid). A lesson learnt the hard way on a mountain marathon in my youth. Using a little firelighter stove we used about 4 cubes to try to get some water to boil for our pasta choice (urgh) but failed. In the end, putting a spare bit of tin foil over the pan had us boiling water on half the burn of a firelighter.
I disagree about Kiwis being tough though. I know plenty who think 21C is cold.
Both ingredients store for a long time.
Cook the rice as normal.
It is very nice, and as you can see, has all the requirements of part of a survival kit.
And it's better and cheaper than a tin of rice pudding.

a taste for warm beer.

Thanks, I'll check it out more later.
Steve's from the UK. He thinks that's how beer is supposed to be drunk!
I wish I did !
If you are really serious about surviving a socio-economic disaster then a good addition to any emergency supply is to buy a copy of the SAS survival guide, read it and try some of it out. If the shops don't get re-stocked for more than a couple of months then the situation will become irreversable and we are going back to killing and picking our own food. In this case having some basic skills, a sharp knife and a means of starting fire will become more important than a stash of food and a bit of gold.
I think that's great advice. I've got a list of books, and that is one of them.
Personally, the problem I find is that I am not 100% sure it will get that bad (at least here).
So I find it very difficult to spend time and money on things that may not be needed.
It would be great if someone would give a giant kick up the backside and get me motivated to do it.
Nah, it won't work in my hemisphere!

I remember David Fuller once saying that he stocked up on tinned foods back in the inflationary 1970s. Seems the tins explode after a while.
If possible, I store bottled goods rather than tins because there would be less contamination from the container.
The answer to the problem is simple, just rotate the cans. Each month use a number of the cans and buy some more.

MEPs Valley visit: Aim optics, but blurred
Sagarneel Sinha
It has been almost close to three months that normalcy has disappeared from the Kashmir Valley — since the revocation of the special status provided to the erstwhile State of J&K. Although the political leaders of Jammu are released, key leaders of the Valley including three former Chief Ministers — veteran NC leader Farooq Abdullah, his son Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti — continue to be kept captive in their homes. Not only this, many Opposition leaders, including Congress' Rahul Gandhi, CPM's Sitaram Yechury, LJD's Sharad Yadav, CPI's D. Raja etc, were not allowed to visit the Valley. However, surprisingly, an "unofficial" visit by 23 Members of European Parliament (MEPs) to the Valley was given a green signal.
Such visit raises many questions. Firstly, when the key Opposition leaders of the country are not allowed to visit the Valley how come a foreign delegation is permitted? Secondly, was this "unofficial" tour facilitated by the government of India itself? Thirdly, why most of the MEPs belong to the right? Fourthly, was this visit aimed more towards solving the problems of Kashmir to counter Western Liberals? Lastly, if Kashmir is returning to normalcy then why key leaders of the Valley are still kept captive?
Already the European Parliament has clearly said that the MEPs were on a private tour. This is also maintained by the Government of India. However, it is almost certain that the visit, which is arranged by an NGO, has the stamp of the Union government. That's why the foreign delegation met Prime Minister Narendra Modi before going to the Valley, where they only took rides on empty shikaras on the Dal Lake and had official military briefings, as they were not allowed to meet common Kashmiri folks.
As of the 23 MEPs, who visited the Valley, almost all belong to the right wing side, with some even belonging to far-right spectrum, many liberals and the Left are criticising their political affiliation, forgetting that they are elected members from their respective countries to the European Parliament. MEPs include members from parties such as UK's Brexit Party to Marie Le Pen's National Rally of France to Germany's Alternative for Deutschland (AFD) — all known for their anti-immigrant stand. Just because they belong to the right side of the political spectrum, their criticism by the Left cannot be justified. After all, had this delegation consisted of the leftist and liberal MEPs, it was unlikely they would have met the same condemnation from the Indian left and liberals.
Actually, the main issue is not about whether MEPs belong to left, right or center. It is the Modi government's attitude towards the Valley. The priority of the Centre should have been to warm up the political process of the valley, which has frozen since the revocation of the special status. The Union government says it has organised quite successfully the Block Development Council (BDC) polls. However, it must not be forgotten that not all the people of the Valley were the voters in BDC polls and these were held when the top leadership was kept confined to their homes.
The present discussion is not about the revocation of the special status. It is about for how many days will the lockdown of the Valley continue? Although the administration says the situation is normal, there is a self shutdown by the locals as a means of protest. The communication lockdown is not fully lifted.
Remember, in a democracy, one cannot contain political activities. This creates a vacuum and is not healthy for the country. Already, the terrorists are on a killing spree and targeting the migrant labourers of various States like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Punjab. The labourers who are there to earn a living in the Valley are soft targets to send the message that the Valley is not for outsiders. Another five migrant labourers belonging to Murshidabad district of West Bengal were gunned down by the terrorists two days ago.
Clearly, the both the security apparatus and administration is unable to instil that sense of security it claims to provided. Plus, allowing the delegation of MEPs to visit Kashmir while not permitting the Opposition leaders only sends a negative message that the government is more interested in optics. This firmly points that the foreign delegation consisting mostly of right wing MEPs was related more to international politics than normalising the ground situation of the Valley.
After all, the Modi government has been facing criticism from the American Left and the UK's Left — Leftist Congress lawmakers of Democratic Party and UK's Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn led Labour Party. On the other hand, the right of both the countries, Republican Party of US and UK's ruling Conservative Party, has either maintained near silence or some even supported the Modi government. The situation suggests that Modi government is just trying to counter the western Left and also the western media, which has been rather critical by writing editorials and allowing op-eds that never fail to strongly denounce the handling of Kashmir while choosing to ignore the jihadi terror angle in the Valley sponsored by neighbouring Pakistan.
In optics, this can be termed as good diplomacy by the Modi government. As global Left is against us, we are trying to win support of the global Right. But this strategy is not going to silence criticism of the western Left and media, rather will sharpen it more, which may further internationalise the Kashmir issue.
No doubt, the Centre has implemented some steps to normalise the Valley, but clearly these are not adequate. It must set free the top leadership of the Valley immediately and permit the delegation of Opposition members to pay a visit there so as to engage with the locals. If possible, the government should consider a visit by Modi to Kashmir as well. Such steps will only help in easing the situation. Modi government's motive should be to win the hearts of Kashmiris — not the hearts of Western media. However, in doing so, terrorists shouldn't be getting a free run and the government must plug the loopholes.
The fact is, if the government really wants to counter the western Left and media's narrative, it should focus on getting the local Kashmiris on its side. If and when normalcy returns to the Valley, the editorials and op-eds of these critical media will also naturally tone down, thereby softening the critics. And, the Modi government will do well to accept ground realities in the Valley rather than simply indulging in fruitless optics of good diplomacy for a few.

Nine teams competed at the 45th Annual Duckworth Great Rock Climb, held today on the campus front lawn at UWinnipeg. A group called All Business conquered the rock with the best time of 25.78 seconds. The Wesmen Men's Volleyball Team and KATSA came in second and third places, respectively.
Congratulations to all who had the courage to try to conquer the rock!
The Duckworth Great Rock Climb features teams of three that race down the front lawn and scale the giant 25-ton granite "Rock of Remembrance", which sits near Portage Avenue. Click here to learn about the history of this annual event.


When using the Japanese language with Convergence, it appears that there is a problem with the mail quota status bar whereas the text is being truncated. It appears that the full text being overlaid over the quota usage bar is simply too wide for the bar, which causes the percentage part to be truncated, as it is out of the area.
The problem does not occur when setting the language to English.
One other interesting aspect of this is that if, after logging in, you press the <CTRL> key and use the mouse "wheel" to increase the size of the font, the field containing the quota information will eventually get large enough to accommodate the text. The text will no longer "wrap" and will "fit" inside the box.

Q: CentOS: cannot execute binary file compiled on Mac OS X I created a test app in C as follows:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(void){
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}

I compile via the following command on my MacBook Air, running OS X Yosemite:
$ cc foo.c -o foo

I then upload the "foo" binary to my CentOS VPS, CHMOD 755, then attempt to execute via the following command:
$ ./foo

This returns the following result:
-bash: ./foo: cannot execute binary file

I also attempted to compile with -m32 in case it was a 64/32 bit conflict.  The same result was produced.
Why will CentOS will not execute the binary?

A: You built an executable on Mac OS X, and tried to run it on Linux.  This will never work, because these two operating systems are not compatible.  The easiest way to fix this will be to build your program on a Linux machine, perhaps a virtual machine running on your Mac.  In general, the phrase describing this situation is "cross compilation."

Young adult author cancels own novel after race controversy
Advance copies of Amélie Wen Zhao's Blood Heir were criticised for its depiction of slavery, for which the author apologised and pulled publication

An up-and-coming young adult author has cancelled the publication of her highly anticipated debut novel, following a flood of online criticism from readers over her depiction of race and slavery.
Amélie Wen Zhao's novel, Blood Heir, was sold to publishers for a high six-figure sum last January. A fantastical retelling of the Anastasia story involving "a princess hiding a dark secret and the conman she must trust to clear her name for her father's murder", it was scheduled to be published in June.
But in a statement on Wednesday, Zhao said that negative feedback from the young adult community had led to her asking her publisher, Delacorte Press, not to release the book "at this time".
Following positive early reviews, a groundswell of criticism of Blood Heir began last month, with reviews posted on Goodreads and Twitter calling out what one reader described as "the anti-blackness and blatant bigotry in this book", particularly its depiction of slavery and the death of a particular black character.
Vetting for stereotypes: meet publishing's 'sensitivity readers'
In comparison with other publishing controversies attracting ire online, such as Keira Drake's YA novel The Continent, which was slammed for its "white saviour" narrative, and picture book A Birthday Cake for George Washington, which was withdrawn after its upbeat portrayal of slavery was questioned, criticism of Zhao's novel was relatively confined, possibly because the author responded so fast in cancelling her book release.
"It was never my intention to bring harm to any reader of this valued community, particularly those for whom I seek to write and empower … I don't wish to clarify, defend or have anyone defend me. This is not that; this is an apology," wrote Zhao on 30 January, adding that she was "grateful to those who have raised questions around representation, coding, and themes in my book".
Zhao, who raised in Beijing and emigrated from China to the US at the age of 18, said she wrote the book "from my immediate cultural perspective", writing that the slavery storylines in her novel "represent a specific critique of the epidemic of indentured labor and human trafficking prevalent in many industries across Asia, including in my own home country".
"The narrative and history of slavery in the US is not something I can, would, or intended to write, but I recognise that I am not writing in merely my own cultural context," she wrote.
Zhao had previously said on her website that she had set out to create "a diverse cast, many of which are beloved and dear to a third-culture kid like myself … a tawny-skinned minority of a Russian-esque princess; a disowned and dishonoured Asian-esque assassin; an islander/Caribbean-esque child warrior; a Middle-Eastern-esque soldier".
"I write fantasy, but my story draws inspiration from themes I see in the real world today. As a foreigner in Trump's America, I've been called names and faced unpleasant remarks – and as a non-citizen, I've felt like I have no voice – which is why I've channeled my anger, my frustration, and my need for action into the most powerful weapon I have: my words," she wrote last year.
While some on social media praised her decision to cancel publication, others urged her to reconsider bowing to "bullying" from a "mob". Random House Children's Books, her publisher, told the New York Times: "We respect Amélie's decision, and look forward to continuing our publishing relationship with her."
