Chris Field on greenhouse gases from the developing world
Posted by Beth Lebwohl in Earth | December 6, 2009
Field is optimistic that poor and wealthy countries can cooperate on reducing emissions while still allowing for economic growth.
Climate expert Chris Field said that there's a historic shift occurring in terms of where the world's greenhouse gases are being produced. Dr. Field is founding director of the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution for Science.
Chris Field: We're in a period of rapid transition, moving away from the history in which most of the greenhouse gas emissions came from activities from rich countries in the northern hemisphere, toward an environment in which the most rapid growth and increasingly the greatest fraction of the emissions are tending to come from developing countries like China, India.
A 2008 report by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency found that China's greenhouse gas emissions were over ten percent higher than those of the United States. The Agency first discovered China to be the world's leading emitter of greenhouse gases in 2006. Dr. Field said that, in the coming years, he expects to see increased emissions from other developing regions, like South America and Africa.
Chris Field: Countries that don't necessarily have the economic resources to invest in strategies that cut down their greenhouse gas emissions.
Field hopes that poor and wealthy countries can cooperate on solutions for reducing emissions.
Chris Field: But they're going to involve hard decisions about who pays for what aspects, and who accepts constraints on the rate on which they either deploy new technologies or develop economically. These are among the most challenging questions a country can face.
Dr. Field added that the rapidly developing countries have the opportunity to develop cleaner energy, especially since they have less infrastructure in place. Field said the landscape of how many countries will think about the actions they're going to take are really complicated for at least two very different kind of reasons.
Chris Field: One reason it's complicated is because we know there's big opportunity in developing the energy infrastructure of the 21st century and I think every country – the United States, India, China all want to be involved in leaders in developing that technology.
He said the other reason is because the poor nations are, with their increased manufacturing, becoming bigger polluters. He likes to think the rich nations can help poorer nations pollute less, while still allowing them to grow economically.
Chris Field: If we can find a way to take advantage of the opportunities that the wealthy countries have and that the poor countries have in order to work together, there should be some truly spectacular things that are possible.

Do Kapłanów, umiłowanych synów Matki Bożej – książka Stefano Gobbiego, włoskiego księdza katolickiego, jego zdaniem zawierająca orędzia, które przekazywała mu Maryja poprzez lokucje (słyszenia wewnętrzne), spisywane w latach 1973-1997 (kilka tomów). Stały się one podstawą do utworzenia i działalności Kapłańskiego Ruchu Maryjnego. Do roku 1996 książka miała 19 wydań włoskich i przetłumaczono ją na 23 języki.

Charakter i treść orędzi
Orędzia zawarte w książce mają zdecydowanie charakter apokaliptyczny. Maryja według ks. Gobbiego informuje, że czasy zapowiedziane w Apokalipsie św. Jana już nadeszły, a Kościół czeka poważny kryzys wiary i posłuszeństwa. W świetle tych orędzi Maryja przychodzi jako zaniepokojona Matka, chcąc uratować nas przed karą, którą ludzkość na siebie ściąga. Aby uratować ludzkość, wzywa do poświęcenia się Jej Niepokalanemu Sercu, zachęca też do pokuty i posłuszeństwa wobec papieża. Ostrzega o zbliżającym się finale czasów ostatecznych i  paruzji. Zapowiada także "drugą Pięćdziesiątnicę", która sprawi, że Kościół znów zajaśnieje swoją chwałą. Według ks. Gobbiego Maryja krytykuje źle pojmowany ekumenizm, a także przesadny aktywizm, który źle wpływa na życie duchowe. Siebie przedstawia jako jedyny ratunek dla grzeszników, podkreśla także donośną rolę, którą odegra w czasach ostatecznych. Zachęca do organizowania wieczerników modlitwy, odmawiania różańca świętego, a także do rozszerzania Kapłańskiego Ruchu Maryjnego (który na polecenie Maryi założył Stefano Gobbi). Gorąco wzywa do adoracji Najświętszego Sakramentu, gdyż jej zdaniem wierzący przestali wierzyć w rzeczywistą obecność Jezusa na Mszy świętej. Wyraża także ubolewanie z powodu teologów, którzy umniejszają jej znaczenie, a także promują naturalistyczne wyjaśnienia cudów Jezusa opisanych w Ewangelii. Wspomina również często o innych objawieniach Maryjnych, potwierdzając przy tym ich prawdziwość. Orędzia zawierają także obszerny komentarz do poszczególnych części Apokalipsy Św. Jana i opis wielu wydarzeń z Pisma Świętego.

Komentarz do Apokalipsy
W świetle orędzi zawartych w książce, czerwony smok opisywany w dwunastym rozdziale Apokalipsy św. Jana to "ateistyczny komunizm, który wszędzie rozszerzył błąd negacji i uporczywego odrzucania Boga". Bestia podobna do pantery to masoneria (Ap 13). Bestia podobna do baranka (Ap 13,11) "symbolizuje masonerię kościelną, która rozszerzyła się zwłaszcza wśród członków Hierarchii".

Maryja wyjaśnia także tajemniczą liczbę 666 (Ap 13, 18). Ma ona mieć znaczenie symboliczne i dosłowne. Symboliczne ma oznaczać Lucyfera wynoszącego się ponad Boga i jego liczbę 333, dosłowne - trzy daty - 666 rok, 1332 rok i 1998 rok. Pierwsza data ma oznaczać nagłą ekspansję islamu, druga erę podziałów w Kościele, a także filozofii stawiających ludzki rozum i naukę nad Słowo Boże, trzecia zaś - okres świetności masonerii, w tym kościelnej, której uda się utworzyć fałszywy obraz Chrystusa.

Znamię na czole i ręce (Ap 13,16) zdaniem Maryi ma oznaczać całkowitą zależność ludzi od antychrysta, zwłaszcza w sferze rozumu i własnej woli. Ma to przekładać się na przyjmowanie doktryny negującej Boga i odrzucającej Jego Prawa, a także do przyjęcia coraz to bardziej popularnego ateizmu.

Pierwszą plagą (Ap 16,2) mają być natomiast złośliwe guzy i wszelkie rodzaje raka, wobec których nauka jest bezsilna, pomimo postępu we wszystkich dziedzinach. Pierwszą plagą ma być również nowa choroba – AIDS

Niewiasta obleczona w słońce z księżycem pod stopami (Ap 12) to według orędzi ks. Gobbiego Maryja (taką też interpretację przyjmuje często również Kościół). Dwanaście gwiazd, formujących jej koronę, to symbol pokoleń Izraela, pierwszych Apostołów oraz apostołów "ostatnich czasów". Niewiasta rodząca w bólu (Ap 12,2) ma natomiast oznaczać duchowe macierzyństwo Maryi.

Okrzyk Jezusa na krzyżu
Ks. Gobbi zapisując swoje wewnętrzne słyszenia mające pochodzić od Maryi, zapisał również wiele elementów z życia Jezusa Chrystusa, nie znane nam z kart Ewangelii. Maryja miała powiedzieć mu na przykład, że wielki okrzyk Jezusa opisany w Ewangelii według Św. Mateusza (Mt 27,50) brzmiał "mamo!".

Ohyda spustoszenia
Pojęcie ohydy spustoszenia pojawia się w Piśmie Świętym w trzech Księgach: W Księdze Machabejskiej, odnosząc się do sytuacji, która miała miejsce w historii narodu wybranego, w Księdze Daniela, będąc zapowiedzią wydarzenia będącego znakiem końca czasów i ucisku, w Ewangelii czytamy natomiast o niej jako o znaku, który będzie miał miejsce przed powtórnym przyjściem Jezusa. Wyjaśnienie zawarte w "błękitnej książeczce" ks. Stefano Gobbiego jest następujące: Ohydą spustoszenia będzie zniesienie codziennej ofiary tj. Mszy Świętej, zanegowanie transsubstancjacji i przyjęcie protestanckiej nauki (która odrzuca rzeczywistą przemianę chleba i wina w ciało i krew Chrystusa).

Opinia Kościoła
Kościół nie wypowiedział się jednoznacznie co do treści objawień. Ks. Gobbi po zakończeniu otrzymywania orędzi złożył je do oceny w Kongregacji Nauki Wiary. Po 10 latach otrzymał korespondencję wysłaną do niego przez sekretarza Kongregacji Nauki Wiary, który radził, żeby ks. Gobbi we wstępie do książki zawarł informację, iż książka powstała jako wynik jego własnej medytacji osobistej. Korespondencja ta nie była oficjalnym stanowiskiem, ale jedynie prywatnym listem.

Św. Jan Paweł II odnosił się przychylnie do objawień włoskiego księdza. Kapłański Ruch Maryjny w 1993 roku otrzymał jego błogosławieństwo. Ks. Gobbi rokrocznie koncelebrował Mszę świętą z Ojcem Świętym w jego prywatnej kaplicy i w czasie spotkań z papieżem zdawał mu również sprawozdania na temat jego ruchu i swoich podróży oraz prowadzonych wieczerników modlitewnych.

Stanisław Celestyn Napiórkowski, polski mariolog, w roku 1983 (czyli jeszcze w trakcie otrzymywania orędzi) wypowiedział wiele krytycznych uwag pod adresem książki. Wprawdzie chwalił ją za gorliwą pobożność autora i antylaickość, a także za to, że wielu księży czerpie z niego dobre owoce, ale skrytykował fakt, że objawienia przedstawiają krytyczną ocenę świata, ignorując Sobór Watykański II. Nie spodobał mu się także przesadny "mariocentryzm", zniechęcanie do ekumenizmu i ekskluzywizm - w objawieniach Maryja twierdzi, że jest jedynym środkiem ratunku. Jego zdaniem książka "rozważana z punktu katolickiej teologii budzi uzasadnione niepokoje, a nawet sprzeciw".

Krytyka dotyczy też obfitości i sentymentalizmu przesłań oraz ich wyraźnego apokaliptycznego tonu. Jest na przykład orędzie z 3 lipca 1987 r. zapowiadające na ten rok "wielkie wydarzenia, które przewidziałem w Fatimie... i w Medziugorju" się nie spełniło. Ton, pilność i emocjonalność widzącego/słyszącego nadają przekazom czasami wyraźny osobisty koloryt.

Imprimatur udzielili książce m.in. kardynałowie: Bernardino Echeverría Ruiz w roku 1998, John Baptist Wu Cheng-chung dla chińskiego wydania książki z roku 2001, Ignacy Mojżesz I Daoud dla tłumaczenia arabskiego z roku 2002, Ricardo Vidal z Filipin i Michael Michai Kitbunchu z Tajlandii. Książka ma także imprimatur wielu arcybiskupów i biskupów na całym świecie.

1. It is a great joy for me to have this meeting with you in the revered setting of the University of Havana. To all of you I offer my affectionate greeting. In the first place I would like to express my thanks for the words of welcome which Cardinal Jaime Ortega y Alamino has spoken in the name of all. I am grateful too for the friendly greeting of the Rector of the university who has received me in this Aula Magna where lie the remains of the great priest and patriot, the Servant of God Fr Félix Varela, which I have just venerated. Thank you, Rector, for gathering this distinguished group of women and men who have made their prime undertaking the promotion of the genuine culture of this noble Cuban nation.
2. Culture is the special way in which human beings express and develop their relationship with creation, with one another and with God. Thus they create the body of values which distinguish a people, and the characteristics which give it an identity. Understood in this way, culture is of fundamental importance for the life of nations and for fostering the most authentic human values. The Church, which accompanies human beings on life's path, opening to the life of society, seeking opportunities for her evangelizing action, embraces culture in her word and action.
The Catholic Church identifies with no particular culture, but approaches all in a spirit of openness. In respectfully proposing her own vision of the human being and human values, the Church contributes to the ever greater humanization of society. In this evangelization of culture, Christ himself is present, acting through his Church: Christ who, in his Incarnation, "enters into culture" and "brings to each time-conditioned culture the gift of purification and fullness" (Conclusions of Santo Domingo, n. 228).
"Each culture is an attempt to penetrate the mystery of the world and, in particular, of the human being: it is a way of expressing the transcendent dimension of human life" (Address to the United Nations, 5 October 1995, n. 9). Respecting and promoting culture, the Church respects and promotes the human person: the human person seeking to live a more human life and to approach, even if at times haltingly, the hidden mystery of God. In every culture there is a central core of religious convictions and moral values which constitutes, as it were, its soul. It is there that Christ wants to reach with the purifying power of his grace. The evangelization of culture is like a heightening of its "religious soul", imbuing it with a new and powerful dynamism, the dynamism of the Holy Spirit which empowers it to realize to the full its human potentialities. In Christ, each culture is profoundly respected, valued and loved, because each culture is always open, at the point of its deepest truth, to the riches of the Redemption.
3. Because of its history and geography, Cuba has its own distinctive culture, shaped by a dense synthesis of different influences: the Spanish influence, bringing with it Catholic Christianity, the African influence, its religious spirit permeated by Christianity, the influence of the various immigrant groups, and then the specifically American influence. It is right to recall the influence which the Seminary of St Charles and St Ambrose in Havana has had in the development of the national culture under the sway of figures such as José Agustín Caballero, called by Martí "father of the poor and of our philosophy", and Fr Félix Varela, the veritable father of Cuban culture. The superficiality or anti-clericalism of some at that time are not truly representative of what has most distinguished this people, which historically has seen the Catholic faith as the source of the rich values of Cuban identity. Expressed in turns of phrase, popular songs, peasant sayings and much used proverbs, this identity has a deep Christian matrix and still today is a rich resource and a constitutive reality of the nation.
4. A pre-eminent son of this land is Fr Félix Varela y Morales, considered by many to be the foundation-stone of the Cuban national identity. He is, in his own person, the best synthesis one could find of Christian faith and Cuban culture. An exemplary priest of Havana and an undeniable patriot, Fr Varela was an outstanding thinker who in 19th-century Cuba renewed the method and content of teaching in philosophy, law, science and theology. To generations of Cubans, he taught that to assume full responsibility for our existence we must first learn the difficult art of thinking in a right way and with our own mind. He was the first to speak of independence in these lands. He also spoke of democracy, judging it to be the political project best in keeping with human nature, while at the same time underscoring its demands. Among these demands, he stressed two in particular: first, that people must be educated for freedom and responsibility, with a personally assimilated ethical code which includes the best of the heritage of civilization and enduring transcendental values, so that they may be able to undertake decisive tasks in service of the community; and second, that human relationships, like the form of society as a whole, must give people suitable opportunities to perform, with proper respect and solidarity, their historic role giving substance to the rule of law, which is the essential guarantee of every form of human concourse claiming to be democratic.
Fr Varela realized that, in his time, independence was an as yet unattainable ideal. He therefore devoted himself to training people, men and women of conscience, who were neither high-handed with the weak nor weak with the powerful. From his exile in New York, he used a range of means to pursue his goal: personal letters, the press and what might be judged his finest work, Letters to Elpidio concerning impiety, superstition and fanaticism in relation to society, a true monument of moral teaching, his precious legacy to the young people of Cuba. In the last 30 years of his life, far from his teaching-post in Havana, he continued to teach from afar and so gave birth to a school of thought, a vision of human society and an attitude towards one's own country which even today should illumine all Cubans.
The entire life of Fr Varela was inspired by a profound Christian spirituality. This was his deep driving-force, the wellspring of his virtues, the root of his commitment to the Church and to Cuba: to seek the glory of God in all things. This led him to believe in the power of little things, in the creative force of seeds of truth, in the appropriateness of changes being made step by step towards great and authentic reforms. When he came to the end of his journey, moments before he closed his eyes to the light of this world and opened them to the Light which never ends, he fulfilled the promise which he had always made: "Guided by the torch of faith, I go to the tomb, on the edge of which I hope, with God's grace, to make with my last breath a profession of my firm belief and a fervent prayer for the good of my country" (Letters to Elpidio, volume 1, letter 6, p. 182).
5. This is the heritage which Fr Varela left. The good of his country still needs the undying light which is Christ. Christ is the way which leads man to the fullness of life, the way which leads to a society which is more just, more free, more human, more caring. The love for Christ and for Cuba which illumined Fr Varela's life is part of the indestructible root of Cuban culture. Consider the torch which appears on the coat of arms of this distinguished house of studies: it is not only a remembrance of things past, it is also a vision of things to come. The origin and purpose of this university, its history and its heritage, reveal its vocation to be a fountain of wisdom and freedom, an inspiration to faith and justice, a crucible where knowledge and conscience are fused, the teacher of a culture which is at once universal and Cuban.
The torch, lit by Fr Varela, which illumined the history of the Cuban people, was taken up, shortly after his death, by another striking figure of this country, José Martí: a writer and a teacher in the fullest sense of the word, deeply committed to democracy and independence, a patriot, a loyal friend even to those who did not share his political programme. He was above all an enlightened man, faithful to his ethical values and stirred by a spirituality the roots of which are outstandingly evangelical. He is regarded as the heir of the thought of Fr Varela, whom he called "the Cuban saint".
6. Today we are gathered in this university which preserves as one of its most precious treasures the remains of Fr Varela. Everywhere in Cuba I can also see the monuments which Cubans have erected in memory of José Martí. And I am sure that the Cuban people have inherited the human virtues, Christian in their origin, of both these men, since all Cubans share in common that culture which these men nourish. I know too that in Cuba one can speak of a fruitful cultural dialogue which ensures a more harmonious growth and continuing development of the creative initiatives of civil society. In this country, most of those who shape culture — Catholic and non-Catholic, believers and non-believers — are people of dialogue, prepared both to speak and to listen. I encourage them to pursue with vigour the search for a synthesis with which all Cubans can identify, and to foster a Cuban identity, both comprehensive and harmonious, which can unite the various national traditions which they represent. Cuban culture, if it is open to the Truth, will be ever more characteristic of this nation and ever more profoundly human.
The Church and the cultural institutions of the nation need to meet in dialogue and so work together to develop Cuban culture. They share a common path and a common goal: to serve the human being, to cultivate all aspects of the human spirit and to nourish from within all communal and social relations. What initiatives of this kind there are already should find support and encouragement in a pastoral plan in the field of culture in ongoing dialogue with individuals and institutions dedicated to the intellectual life.
Pilgrim as I am in a nation such as yours, with its rich inheritance both mestizo and Christian, I am confident that in the future Cubans will achieve a civilization of justice and solidarity, of freedom and truth, a civilization of love and peace which, as Fr Varela said, "may be the foundation of the great edifice of our happiness". To that end, I place once again in the hands of young Cubans the ever necessary and ever relevant legacy of the Father of Cuban culture, the mission which Fr Varela entrusted to his disciples: "Tell them that they are the sweet hope of the motherland and that there is no motherland without virtue and no virtue without piety".

Chalice Hymnal, Chalice Praise, permissions, and other formats
Updated November 2020 to include CCLI licensing
One of the most frequent questions we receive are about Chalice Hymnal and Chalice Praise: Are they available in other formats?
Short answer: Not really.
Long answer: Parts of both are available elsewhere.
The short answer first: Chalice Hymnal and Chalice Praise are compilations of hundreds of works owned by dozens of companies from whom CBP/Chalice Press purchased the rights. Those rights were purchased for use only in those two denominational hymnals. Because Chalice Hymnal and Chalice Praise were created before ebooks were created, CBP/Chalice Press did not acquire the digital rights. Times have changed, and we have researched the cost of tracing those steps, and those prices would be steep. It would be a better use of resources and time to create a new hymnal, which still sizes up as a formidable project that would need support from the entire Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Digital versions of those two books will not be produced, but when a new hymnal is created, digital rights will be a key ingredient.
Now the long answer: Because those rights are owned by many companies, several have licensed their work to other online sources. We encourage congregations to sign up for a license with OneLicense.net or CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing International). There are other services, but these two are the most widely recognized. Many of the hymns in Chalice Hymnal and Chalice Praise are offered by these services, which offer a variety of packages to fit your congregation's needs. Not all hymns are there, but you may find other works that fit your church's worship style and theology.
In Chalice Hymnal, CBP/Chalice owns full or partial rights to about 70 works.
CCLI: Chalice Press works will be added to CCLI's database soon. "One Candle Is Lit," the popular Advent song, is available now for use, and Lent/Advent songs will be added prior to the season.
OneLicense.net: Several Chalice Press titles are available on OneLicense.net.
If you do not find a Chalice Press work on their website, you should assume no permission has been granted.
If the hymn you want to use is not available online, you can request permission to reuse directly from the copyright owner. The copyright owner is listed at the bottom of each page, and contact information is provided at the back of the book. (It may be outdated, so you might want to check online as well.) If you contact those publishers, provide the name of your congregation, its typical worship size, the hymn you want to use, and if you are using print, projection, or streaming. Allow plenty of time for a response.
If you see don't see a copyright holder at the bottom of the page, congratulations! You've picked a "public domain" hymn that is no longer under copyright, so you may use it without permission.
Thank you for recognizing the importance of copyright. Also, thank you for recognizing the importance of compensating fairly the creators who have shared their gifts, their work, and their ministry with us through their music, lyrics, and readings.

How to Complete a Free Search for a Title on a Property & for Public Records
By: Tony Russo
Free searches require you to leave your computer and do a little leg work.

1. How to Find Property Tax Records
2. How to Look for Public Mortgage Records
3. I Want to Buy a Short Sale but Squatters Will Not Leave
Completing a free title search for a title on a property and other public records can be labor intensive. Over the last few years, many state governments have mechanized the title search process and put some public records online, but in many jurisdictions, a complete search still requires a little legwork. Since properties aren't assessed every year, in some circumstances, the electronic records don't reflect issues that are critical to the property's value.
Title Information Online
Basic title searches can be done online for most U.S. jurisdictions. States maintain one website for titles that will list the names of the most recent owners, but not everyone who has owned the property. Collect the names of all of the recent owners along with any identifying account numbers that might be relevant to the state in a paper search, either by hand or by printing the page.
Searching Judicial Records
The electronic court records associated with the property are on the state's judicial website under the name of the former owner. Search the civil record for each of the owners by last and first names. If there were any civil actions against that person while they owned the home, make note of the case number and disposition. This should also contain the contact information of all of the people involved with the suit. Make note of all the relevant information, but especially the case numbers.
Room additions and roof replacement, or storm damage that has left a property in disrepair might not be accounted for on the electronic version of the title. Indeed, it might not be accounted for anywhere, but will affect a home's value and selling disposition. Moreover, if work was done recently on a home, there may still be outstanding invoices for construction work. Make note of any apparent new work done to the home. If permits are visible, note the permit number and information about the issuing authority.
Visit Various Departments
Armed with all of the online information you have collected, visit each of the places the paper records are stored. Some courthouses have a ban on electronics, so bring a paper and pencil and valid identification. Town hall or the county hall of records likely will have the land records as well as the names of people who were issued building permits for the property. The district court probably has any civil records or can direct you to the proper court. Verify the online information with the paper records.

Q: Passing argument of type Double using Reflection I'm trying to use reflection in a situation where I need to pass in arguments that have a type Double. My code works perfectly when I call the function directly, but it fails when I do it via reflection with two doubles as its arguments. Here is the eror:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.jinstagram.Instagram.searchMedia(java.lang.Double, java.lang.Double)
Double lat = Double.parseDouble(methodArgument[0][0]);
Double lng = Double.parseDouble(methodArgument[0][1]);
Method m = instagram.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("searchMedia", Double.class, Double.class);
Object o = (Object) m.invoke(instagram, lat, lng);

Just for testing, I can call this successfully like this:
Object o = instagram.searchMedia(lat, lng);

so the problem must be somewhere in the use of reflection, right?

A: The signature of the method in question is
public MediaFeed searchMedia(double latitude, double longitude)
                                                             throws InstagramException

So you need to use double.class instead of Double.class

Jozef Viktor Rohon (także Rohony, Rohonyi, ur. 7 maja 1845 w Temes-Buttyin, zm. 15 marca 1923 w Pradze) – rumuński paleontolog i neuroanatom.

Życiorys
Ewangelicka rodzina Rohonów pochodziła z północnej części Węgier. Juraj (György) Rohoň (1773–1831) urodził się w  miejscowości Horný Kalník i uczęszczał do ewangelickiego liceum w Schemnitz (Bańska Szczawnica). Razem z rodziną opuścił rodzinne strony pod koniec XIX wieku, w ramach Schwabenzüge (kolonizacji tych ziem po wojnach tureckich). Juraj Rohonyi był jednym z prekursorów zainspirowanego przez kościół ewangelicki słowackiego panslawizmu i nieprzejednanym przeciwnikiem Węgier. Z żoną Evą Plachlinsky miał co najmniej jednego syna, Ferdinanda (Nándor) Rohonyi. Ferdinand był ewangelickim nauczycielem i kaznodzieją, zamieszkałym w Glozsán. 25 czerwca 1844 ożenił się z Rosą (Rózsa) Wodár w rumuńskiej miejscowości Kleinschemlak (Şemlacu Mic). 7 maja 1845 w Temes-Buttyin urodził się im najprawdopodobniej jedyny syn, Josef Victor Rohon.

Jozef Viktor Rohon ukończył szkołę w Ödenburgu 30 stycznia 1865 roku, 14 października 1867 podjął studia na wydziale teologicznym Uniwersytetu w Wiedniu, jednak po dwóch latach zmienił kierunek i od 1871 studiował medycynę. Po dziesięciu semestrach przerwał studia; jego dysertacja została wydrukowana w Monachium w 1884 roku. 1 sierpnia 1884 Rohon otrzymał tytuł doktora magna cum laude, jednak z powodu intryg współpracowników, głównie Karla Langera von Edenberga, nie dostał posady na uczelni.

Następnie był asystentem Karla Alfreda Zittla i później docentem paleontologii. W 1888 roku wyjechał do Sankt Petersburga, gdzie pracował naukowo jako paleontolog do co najmniej 1895 roku. Od 1896 lub 1897 roku w Pradze. Tam kierował Instytutem Histologiczno-Embriologicznym przy Uniwersytecie Karola Ferdynanda.

Z żoną Boženą miał pięcioro dzieci.

Dorobek naukowy
Zajmował się neuroanatomią ryb, lancetnika i człowieka (1877–1887), po 1887 poświęcił się paleontologii, opisując konodonty i paleozoiczne ryby.

W 1884 roku opisał w rdzeniu kręgowym ryb komórki, znane dziś jako komórki Rohona-Bearda. Ten typ neuronów w 1889 roku opisał również u ryb Beard, a Burckhardt u płazów.

Q: Adjust the code to get TikTok symbol This question it is related to this.
Considering the link of my answer where there are the conditions to have the tiktok symbol https://github.com/liweitianux/resume/blob/master/fontawesome5/fontawesome5.sty
and considering that this MWE not works:
  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
  \usepackage{fontawesome5}
  \expandafter\def\csname faicon@tiktok\endcsname{\symbol{"F97B}}
  \def\faTiktok{{\FontAwesomeBrands\csname faicon@tiktok\endcsname}}
  \begin{document}
  \faTikTok
  \end{document}

Which way or some technique should be used to get the TikTok symbol?

A: There are three issues:

*

*A simple typo: You define \faTiktok (with a lowercase t), but use \faTikTok (with a capital T)

*In a standard TeX installation, \usepackage{fontawesome5} loads my fontawesome5 package and not Weitian Li's fontawesome5 package (the one you linked to). The command \FontAwesomeBrands is only available in Weitian Li's package.

*If you haven't installed an updated version of Font Awesome manually and still have the old version of the package installed, then the font doesn't contain the glyph anyway.

So what can you do to make \faTiktok available? (Assuming that installing the updated version of the LaTeX package isn't an option, e.g. since it isn't yet packaged in your distribution.)

*

*Download the latest font files from the Font Awesome GitHub repo. (For TikTok you only need the Font Awesome 5 Brands-Regular-400.otf file, but it's best to download all three)

*Rename the files to remove all the spaces from their names. So e.g. Font Awesome 5 Brands-Regular-400.otf becomes FontAwesome5Brands-Regular-400.otf. (This is needed to get the same filenames as used by the package, as packages on CTAN can not contain files with spaces)

*Copy the three files into a directory where your TeX system expects OpenType fonts, e.g. the directory of your TeX document or ~/texmf/fonts/opentype/fontawesome5/ (where ~/texmf should be substituted with a texmf root directory on your system)

*Now both XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX should be able to run
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}
\begin{document}
\faTikTok
\end{document}

You do not have to define \faTiktok, the package automatically extracts the names of all defined icons from the font file and makes them available.
This does not work for pdfLaTeX. The icons can only be used for pdfLaTeX after the package is updated. If you know that there is a new FontAwesome version but the LaTeX package isn't updated yet, feel free to ping me by mail. (The address can be found in the package documentation.)

While Apple has partially led the way up till now in terms of modern technology, there has been one major market they haven't tapped into – video streaming. However, that all seems about to change. At an event in California on March 25th, CEO Tim Cook and a host of Hollywood celebrities set the ball rolling with the announcement that Apple TV+ would be launching later in fall 2019.
The Apple TV+ app, revealed to crowds by director Steven Spielberg, will become widely available later this year and will aim to take on the likes of Amazon and Netflix at their own game. The event was marked by the appearance of stars involved such as Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Jason Momoa and Steve Carell – all of whom will be involved in bringing a number of unique shows to the streaming service. Sesame Street's Big Bird was even in attendance, as Apple TV+ plans to generate unique family content alongside thrillers, daytime talk shows and more.
It's thought that the app won't just be arriving for Apple devices. This means Amazon's Fire Stick and Smart TV technology from the likes of Samsung and Sony will also be compatible.
However, it wasn't the only new service to launch at the event. The Apple Card, a new credit card launched by the tech giant, will debut in the US this summer. Built with assistance from MasterCard and Goldman Sachs, it will reportedly allow users to spend credit via their smart devices and through a physical card. It's thought to be lining up along with the brand's long-standing Apple Pay service, which you can use to pay for goods and services in stores as well as online.
Apple's latest revelations were signposted to some extent, though it has interested many that no more physical devices were announced. With the brand having published sales figures earlier this year that surprised many – and not in a good way – it appears Tim Cook and the team may be heading back to the drawing board for further innovation as the year goes on. With the iPhone X and XS having drawn criticism from some users for not offering enough innovation, it will be interesting to see what handheld devices the firm announces later this year. Or, perhaps they won't – but that seems doubtful from all angles.

Bellator: Tiki Ghosn on what it is like to manage Quinton Jackson
By Sangam Shukla
Exclusive: Surbala 'Warrior Princess' Laishram: I want to become UFC Champion one day!

There aren't many MMA fighters who are as entertaining as Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. However, even though Jackson is quite entertaining, he still is a really scary fighter with sixteen knock-out victories to his credit. There are plenty of stories and legends about the former UFC light heavyweight champion's backstage tantrums and antics. It often makes people wonder how he is as a person and how difficult it must be for someone to manage him. In a recent interview conducted by MMA Junkie radio, Tiki Ghosn, Jackson's manager answers all such questions.
Quinton Jackson helped make MMA popular.
PC: Lowkick MMA
Tiki Ghosn is a former UFC fighter himself who competed in the welterweight division. He holds a MMA record of 10-7 and is one of the four fighters who were managed by Dana White before he became the UFC president. Ghosn is also a famous trainer, coach and training partner. He has trained or sparred with many notable fighters such as Michael Bisping, B.J. Penn, Quinton Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Jason Miller, etc.
The famous MMA Junkie radio's panel recently got in touch with Ghosn on phone. He was asked about his popular client and what it is like to be his manager. Here's what he had to say:
Obviously, he's very happy with where he's at in his fight career and what he's making.
I was like, 'Look man, I'll help you, but if I'm going to do this, we've got to start from scratch, We've got to change the way you've done everything,' and it's been for the better. He's doing great. He's training again. He's fighting again.
He's got an extremely big heart, and he's been taken advantage of by everyone that he's ever worked with as far as management, He's just kind of plagued with that bad luck with choosing the wrong people. He's just a little too trusting.
One thing that I pride myself on is I never burn a bridge, and I'm not the kind of person that's going to screw somebody over, It's hard to trust somebody who's never gotten in there and done it.

Marine Concrete Structures Delivers First 2 Platforms From New Dock Facility
Marine Concrete Structures, Inc., Metairie, La. 70004, has delivered the first two offshore production platforms from its new graving dock facility at the firm's Port Bienville Yard, Don Payne, president, announced.
The graving dock, 155 feet in width, is the widest facility of this type along the entire Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida, and including the Mississippi River System. It was specially designed to this width by the firm's engineering staff in order to accommodate new construction of concrete gravity structures of unusual dimensions for use in offshore waters, Mr. Payne pointed out. It can also provide full drydocking of semisubmersible drilling rigs up to 155 feet for inspection and repair.
Known as the Robertson L.
Belden Graving Dock, the new facility was named a f t e r the founder and chairman of the company. Mr. Belden is a pioneer in the development of precast, prestressed concrete structures used by the oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico. Presently, there are over 400 structures built by the company in use in coastal areas, Mexico and Venezuela as production platforms, tank batteries, and oil-water separators.
Mr. Payne said the addition of the graving dock to its Port Bienville Yard will add an additional 100 jobs to its basic payroll.
This figure will expand as new c o n s t r u c t i o n projects are started in the graving dock.
The Marine Concrete Structures yard at Port Bienville, Miss., is the largest constructor of concrete gravity structures in the United States.

Royals tryst beckons Punjab Kings in IPL 2021 Season Opener
IPL will return to India for Season 14 with the tournament scheduled to begin on April 9.
07 March, 2021 News
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier today announced the schedule for the 2021 VIVO Indian Premier League, stating that the tournament is set to commence on Friday, April 9 with the final slated to be on May 30. Keeping in mind the Covid restrictions and guidelines, IPL 2021 is set to ditch the home and away format, with six cities shortlisted for the competition- Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Kolkata.
All games in IPL 2021 are set to be played in neutral venues, as no team will have a home game in the competition. Also, a given team will play all their league matches in four of the six venues, with scheduling done accordingly to reduce the risk of travelling and exposure. IPL 2021 will be kickstarted with a game between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Punjab Kings play their first game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, April 12 against Rajasthan Royals. KL Rahul's side will continue to stay in Mumbai for their next two games as well, as they take on Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals next on 16th and 18th April respectively.
Apart from Mumbai, Punjab Kings will also have games in Chennai, Ahmedabad and Bangalore, with their last five league games set to be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Punjab Kings will also finish the league stages with a game against Rajasthan Royals. Team Punjab played the Royals in their season opener in the 2019 IPL as well, when they managed to beat them on their own turf in Jaipur for the first time ever, and fans of the franchise would be optimistic for a similar performance in 2021 as well.
The afternoon games are scheduled to start at 3:30 PM this season in the IPL, with the evening games slated for 7:30 PM. There will be a total of 11 double headers in IPL 2021, with Punjab Kings playing three afternoon games in the season- namely against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.
The scheduling has been organised such that every franchise will have to travel only thrice during the group stages of the tournament. The IPL this year at home will be played behind closed doors to begin with and a call on allowing spectators will be taken at a later stage of the tournament.
Here is the full schedule for Punjab Kings for IPL 2021.

Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings
Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

Pretty soon you'll be seeing some activity at the old Race Street parking lot across from Tolley's Theatre in Downtown Cambridge. Cambridge Main Street has announced the next phase of a community art project, led by mosaic artist Jen Wagner.
Ms. Wagner was instrumental in helping to beautify Race Street following a fire at 444 – 448 Race Street in 2007. She then worked with fellow community artists to create the mixed media mural in Cannery Way. Wagner went on to professionalize her work now completing dozens of public and private projects across the Mid-Atlantic. Her touch can be seen throughout Cambridge at venues like Sunnyside Shop, and the bathroom of the former High Spot location.

The box is stark with its white backdrop providing clear product images and really standing out in a sea of black boxes on the shelves of your local hardware emporium. We really like the font too which manages to be modern without aping Blade Runner or being illegible. Okay we have a slight fetish for a good font, but really it's an excellent design.
If you don't like the heavily sculpted keys on the WASD section, MSI do supply regular keycaps for these. This is the opposite of most keyboards that we test where the sculpted gaming keys are separate and need to be installed if you want to run with them. It shows the gaming focus of the Vigor GK60 design.
The Vigor GK60 comes with a brushed aluminium top which really looks the part, accentuating the black keycaps nicely whilst also providing a good backdrop for the red lighting to shine. We're big fans of the lock key indicators too which make a nice change from the usual single LED blaring away in the corner of your vision.
Normally the underside of keyboards are very bland with little to mention, but the Vigor GK60 has a couple of neat tricks up its sleeve. Firstly the centre has a cutaway so that you can route your headset cable beneath the board rather than have it tucked away at the side, getting in the way at vital moments. Secondly there is an extra large rubber foot in the centre to greatly increase the friction between it and your desk ensuring that even the most heavy-handed stabbing of keys shouldn't cause it to move.

On January 23, 2018, the City of San Fernando participated in a one-day, citywide homeless count as part of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority's (LAHSA) 2018 Count. The overall event takes place County-wide between January 23, 2018 and January 25, 2018 to document the number of homeless individuals and families in Los Angeles County.
LAHSA is a joint powers authority formed by the City and County of Los Angeles in 1993 to address the problems of homelessness in Los Angeles. LAHSA is the lead agency of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care ("LA CoC"). The LA CoC includes 85 cities and the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, excluding only the cities of Glendale, Long Beach and Pasadena, as each of those three cities operate their own independent continuums.
The City of San Fernando has now participated in the Count since 2013. This is the largest homeless census in the nation and count organizers have observed growing community engagement over that time. This year, 21 volunteers participated in the local Count including two volunteer coordinators from City staff. With the help of volunteers, community partners, and local government agencies, this event helps shine a light on homelessness in the region, generates valuable data to support programs, and provides a pathway for community involvement in the effort to address homelessness.
The annual Count consists of four components: A street count, a demographic survey, a shelter count, and a youth count. During the Count, community participants undertake a process to count homeless persons residing in shelters or living on the street, in parks, automobiles or other places not meant for human habitation. The count produces a Housing Inventory Chart, which enumerates the number of shelters, bends, and units dedicated to housing homeless persons.
At their February 5, 2018 meeting, the City Council honored the 21 volunteers who participated in the count with certificates of appreciation.
Since 2013, the Count has recorded a growing number of homeless individuals in San Fernando. Preliminarily, the final homeless count on January 23, 2018 documented 32 homeless individuals. This represents a 39 percent increase from last year and a 265 percent increase since 2013. The following chart describes the counts in San Fernando from the last five Greater Los Angeles Homeless Counts.
The final table below breaks down the historic count results in San Fernando by category. Note that a categorical breakdown for 2013 was not available. Prior to 2015, organizers performed the Count bi-annually, and thus no count was held in 2014.
2018 Business License Renewal fees are due by close of business on February 28, 2018. Failure to renew by that time will result in a 10 percent penalty for each month the application is late. Avoid penalties and long lines by renewing online ( http://SanFernando.hdlgov.com/) or by telephone (818.898.1211). You may pay by credit card online or by telephone.

On November 25, 2016, the San Fernando Police Department (SFPD) responded to the Ancient Church of the East Mar Shaleeta Parish, located in the 2000 block of Fifth St., regarding vandalism to the property. The church property sustained several thousand dollars of damage and a report was taken of the crime. Detectives actively investigated this incident and attempted to identify any potential suspects, but as time passed, the leads diminished. Since then, several other churches throughout Los Angeles County sustained similar vandalism and a joint local and federal task force was established in 2017. The San Fernando church incident and all investigative material was forwarded to the task force, in hopes of solving this crime.
After several months, the joint task force identified and arrested the suspect involved in these crimes. The suspect was arrested in January 2018 and will be charged with felony vandalism and arson, along with several other felony charges. Additional information was received indicating that the suspect admitted to the San Fernando incident and that it was the first of his crime spree. The San Fernando church has been contacted and are extremely happy that the suspect has been apprehended.
On December 23, 2016, at approximately 3 pm, a shooting occurred in the residential area between Fourth and Library Streets and Hagar Street and Harding Avenue. SFPD Officers responded and located three people suffering from gunshot wounds; one died at the scene and the other two were transported to a local hospital and received medical treatment for their wounds. Within several hours after the incident, the suspect was identified and an extensive manhunt was launched to locate and arrest the suspect. SFPD Detectives, along with Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) Homicide Detectives extensively processed evidence and received information that the suspect had fled to Arizona. The murder case was filed and a felony murder warrant was issued for the suspect, Ricardo Sarabia. Over a three-month period, the United States Marshal's Service conducted surveillance at several locations in the Phoenix area. The suspect, armed with two handguns, was located at a family member's house and subsequently arrested.
Weapons charges were filed against the suspect in Arizona and the State of California initiated extradition proceedings. The suspect has been extradited to Los Angeles County and charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
On January 26, 2018, SFPD Detectives, along with Agents from ABC conducted a Minor Decoy Operation, focusing on ABC licensed establishments. Under this program, a minor (under the direct supervision of a peace officer) attempts to purchase or be furnished with alcohol.
The penalty for furnishing alcohol to a minor is a minimum of $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service. The program is intended to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Four misdemeanor citations were issued for selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor decoy during this detail.

Turkish, Russian defense chiefs discuss Idlib
Top defense officials of Turkey and Russia had a phone call on Monday to discuss latest developments in opposition-held Idlib, a northwestern Syrian province, according to an official statement.
Axar.az reports citing Anadolu News Agency.
"Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar discussed over the phone with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu regional security issues, especially the latest developments in Idlib province of Syria and measures to be taken to reduce the tension in the area, within the scope of the agreement signed in Sochi," a statement issued by Turkey's Defense Ministry said.
At least 167 civilians have lost their lives in Idlib since April 25, with more than 415 civilians injured, according to civil defense sources.
Some 1.5 million people currently reside in Idlib. Half of them are displaced from other parts of the civil war-torn country.
Turkey and Russia agreed last September to turn Idlib into a de-escalation zone in which acts of aggression would be expressly prohibited.
The regime, however, has consistently broken the terms of the cease-fire, launching frequent attacks inside the de-escalation zone.
Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011 when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests.
