No End in Sight for Iraq
As we know, the United States is nowhere near being able to build the sort of police force in Iraq that's capable of keeping some modicum of order and allowing the U.S. to draw down its troops to some extent. (By "some extent," I'm assuming that the Bush administration wants to keep a small-ish force in Iraq forever, partly as a bulwark against Iran, but also wants to bring enough troops home to get Iraq off the front pages.) Up until now, that hasn't been a rousing success: the police force has been accused of being infiltrated by death squads and engaging in torture, assassination, and all manner of gruesome activities that aren't part of the standard recipe for peace and stability.
Anyway, Michael Gordon's piece in the Times today reports further on some of the difficulties that the United States has had in creating a police force—namely, that many Iraqis don't really want to join for fear of being targeted by insurgents. It's a good piece, but I can't let this paragraph go without comment:
The Bush administration in March announced a new strategy for victory in Iraq: "clear, hold and build." Contested towns would be swept of insurgents and held by new Iraqi security forces, while the United States worked to solidify the gains by helping to fix the
infrastructure and build civic institutions.
Right, but isn't it worth noting that the month before announcing this "new strategy," the president announced that he wouldn't seek any more funds for reconstruction in Iraq, despite the fact that much of the previous money had gone toward security costs and corrupt contractors rather than actual reconstruction. So doesn't that make the "new strategy" a bit hard to carry out? Doesn't that mean that there really isn't any sort of strategy in place?
It sure seems that way: Army Gen. George W. Casey recently hinted that, due to the increasingly horrific violence in Iraq, there probably won't be any troop reductions this year, and the U.S. is currently bringing troops in from Kuwait to al-Anbar province, especially as countries such as Italy and South Korea are taking thousands of troops out of the country.
(Note: The photo above, by Kael Alford, shows smoke from burning oil trenches drifts over the Euphrates River near Fallujah in 2003. It's part of a photo essay, "Unembedded," that ran at Mother Jones late last year.)

Youth Contribution – Jadabharata and King Rahuguna
Categories: Mahans, Past Life and Rebirth, Spirituality, Srimad Bhagavatam.
Youth Contribution
Jadabharata and King Rahugana
There was once a great king called Bharata. He was a very righteous king, and ruled for many years. The land (now called India) got the name of 'Bhaarata varsha' because of this King Bharata. When King Bharata became old, he renounced his throne and retired to the forests to do sadhana (spiritual practice) to attain Bhagavan.
In the forests, he would meditate on the Lord and he developed great love for Him. One day, as he was meditating by the river, a pregnant deer was drinking water. Suddenly a lion roared. The frightened deer tried to jump across the river to escape. But as she tried to jump in fear, she gave birth to a fawn, and died. The fawn fell into the water and immediately, Bharata went to rescue the young fawn. He brought it back to his cottage and took care of it. The fawn thrived under the care of Bharata, who loved it very much, and grew into a beautiful deer.
Over time, Bharata got so attached to this young deer that he lost focus on what he had come to the forest for. Instead of meditating on Bhagavan and praying to Him, he spent all his time taking care of the deer, playing with it and worrying about it. One day, the playful deer found a herd that it liked. The deer left Bharata and went away with the herd. Bharata was devastated. He spent every moment thinking of the deer and doting on the times when it was around. The day when death came knocking on Bharata's doorstep finally arrived. Bharata could not think of anything but his deer. He couldn't remember that the purpose of life was to think and chant the name of Bhagavan, and instead, he died thinking of his deer.
As a result, he was born as a deer in his next birth. Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that the prayer and sadhana that one does never goes waste. Bharata was born as a deer but was attracted to a sage's ashram. It never went with a herd, but stayed aloof in the vicinity of the ashram. It knew not to get attached to its senses. Bharata as the deer grew old and completed his life.
In the next life Bharata was born as the last son of a brahmin. By Krishna's grace, he remembered his previous lives and his follies, and how he had lost the opportunity to attain Bhagavan. He realized that he should stay completely unattached to anyone. Remembering this, he never spoke to anyone but remained as though he was dumb and dull. He grew up to be a strong man but would not speak to anyone. He was a jivanmukta (one who was self-realized even while living). But unfortunately, others thought he was insane and inert (jadam). Hence the name Jadabharata.
After his father passed away, his brothers took the wealth and split it rather unfairly. They left Jadabharata with nothing and split the rest among themselves. Jadabharata didn't care; his only goal was to attain Bhagavan.
One day, Jadabharata was sitting under a tree, and unexpectedly a king, Rahugana, passed by. Rahugana was riding a palanquin. One of the servants who was carrying the palanquin fell sick. The party was looking for a replacement so they could continue the journey. They found Jadabharata sitting under a tree and ordered him to replace the sick man. Bharata didn't say a word and just did as they said. They were now on their way to see Sage Kapila, from whom Rahugana wanted to receive spiritual lessons.
As they were traveling, Bharata's eyes fell on a trail of ants crossing through the path. To avoid stepping on them, Jadabharata jumped up and around the ants. The movement shook the palanquin and made king's head bump on the palanquin. The furious king looked out and demanded to know what was happening. The workers pointed their fingers at Jadabharata, blaming him for the discomfort Rahugana had experienced.
King Rahuguna was enraged and gave Jadabharata a piece of his mind. He said sarcastically, "What a pity, it looks like you've carried me all by yourself, and you are very tired. Maybe this is because of how thin you are, or because of how old you are."
He meant to belittle Jadabharata since he looked strong and healthy. Jadabharata did not react.
About a minute later, the same incident occurred. Once again the king got out, but this time he was thoroughly outraged. He rudely yelled at Jadabharata and decided to punish him for disturbing his travels. He told him he would punish him just as Yama dharmaraja punishes those who commit sins.
Now Jadabharata broke his silence and spoke for the first time ever. He said calmly, "O king, what you previously said about my body is true. But your remarks do not apply to me since my body and I are not the same. O king, you see my physical body, not the spirit within. You address me by 'You'. What do you mean by that? Do you mean my arms, legs, my body? No, you are calling my spirit, and that cannot be hurt or tired. Only when the servant-master relationship is fixed and established, the servant should do exactly as the master says. But we never know if in the future your position will change. Who is the master and who is the servant here? Concepts such as strong, weak, and grief, apply only to those who call themselves as the body. 'I' am the Atma, the ever-existing reality. 'You' are not your body; instead, you are your soul."
These words struck the king like lightning. He knew immediately that this was not a normal human being. He stepped down from the palanquin and fell at the feet of Jadabharata. The king asked for forgiveness for talking to Jadabharata in such a rude manner. He asked him for the spiritual upadesa (spiritual advice) that he was seeking.
"O great soul, please forgive me. I spoke ignorantly, not knowing who you were. I am amazed at your spiritual knowledge! Please tell me how I can attain jnana. Should I renounce my kingdom? My wealth? My family? Should I go and do tapas in the forest?"
Jadabharata gave him upadesa and spoke of the path of devotion. Then he said, "The best sadhana is to bath oneself with the dust from the foot of a Jnani!"
King Rahugana thus found his master, the Jnani Jadabharata!

Leprosy Museum - Bymuseet i Bergen
Founded in the 15th c., St. George's was a hospital for lepers until the middle of the 20th c. The present day buildings date back to the 18th c.
Between 1850 and 1900 Bergen had three hospitals for leprosy patients and the largest concentration of patients in Europe. The city's oldest leprosy hospital, St. George's Hospital, is now not only a monument to thousands of personal tragedies, it is also an important arena for the dissemination of Norwegian work and research on leprosy. In many parts of the world leprosy is commonly known as Hansen's disease, after the Norwegian physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen who discovered the leprosy bacillus in Bergen in 1873. St. George's Hospital was probably raised on the grounds of Nonneseter convent in the 1400s. The patients may have received plants for food and medical use from the convent. The herb garden we meet today is from the 1990s. It is open to the public in the museum opening hours.

Q: Pandas Dataframe on YFinance I am using YFinance to get some stock historical prices. Trying to convert the data to Json as data for JS Charting. The Yfinance dataframe treat the date column as index. As a result, I don't know how to access/print out the simple 'date' column. (You can tell I am beginner for python).
I've tried to read the dataframe document about to_json() and stuff like reset_index(). But I am so beginner that I cannot understand what they are saying.
All I really want is to generate a Json text from Yfinance dataframe for the javascript app on my web page like the following:
<script>
data = [{"date":"2020-11-20",
         "open":"1234",
         "high":"1245",
         "low":"999",
         "close":"1120",
         "volume":"1234566"},
        {"date":"2020-11-19",......
         .......
        }]
</script>

I am using a silly for loop to generate the text right now but I am sure there are much more elegant solution out there.

A: yfinance data is indexed by date, so df.to_dict(orient='records')` will be converted to the desired format.
import yfinance as yf

tickers = yf.Tickers('aapl')
df = tickers.tickers.AAPL.history(period="1mo")
df.reset_index(inplace=True)
df['Date'] = df['Date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
df.drop(['Dividends','Stock Splits'], inplace=True, axis=1)
df.to_dict(orient='records')

The PH2000 mechanical chicken harvester can catch 150 birds a minute.
Poultry in Motion: With Invention, Chicken Catching Goes High-Tech
[...] poultry farmers have long relied on human catchers. Their job is to run around inside chicken houses, nabbing by hand more than eight billion birds a year. This is hard not only on the chickens, which get roughed up, but also on the catchers. The birds flap, scratch and befoul their captors. Most people can tolerate only a few months of that before flying the coop.
Now after years of attempts that ended in failure, including one ill-fated chicken vacuum, manufacturers have finally produced machines capable of catching and caging chickens. Looking like a combination airport baggage carousel and tank, the devices can capture 150 birds a minute. That's as many as a team of eight skilled men can corral. [...]
Out of the gloom and dust of a chicken house as long as a football field, a PH2000 emerged. Hundreds of fluffy white birds tipped their heads and stared. The nine-ton, 42-foot-long contraption crept closer, slowly sweeping a low metal ramp back and forth through the flock like a giant scythe. The ramp gently nudged the birds in their chests. They lifted their feet to get out of its way, only to find themselves standing on the ramp itself. As more birds stepped on, they crowded one another toward a conveyor belt. Whoosh! Each chicken was whisked up the belt into a small compartment, where a burst of air pushed it into a metal chute. Within seconds, the bird came to rest, blinking, still on its feet inside a wire cage. [...]
Chickens hate being caught by human beings because catchers grab them by the feet and carry several birds upside down in each hand. "Being held upside down freaks out the birds," says Michael P. Lacy of the University of Georgia's poultry-science department. "As long as they are on their feet, they feel like they are in control, like people." [...]
The reason the birds need to be caught in the first place is that unlike chickens put to work laying eggs (which are kept in tiny cages), birds raised for meat are allowed to roam freely inside giant barns. Far from being fleet-footed or elusive, these birds are in fact deeply reluctant to move at all. Because they are bred to reach their slaughter weight of six pounds in less than eight weeks -- a fraction of the normal time -- they are basically babies in giant bodies. The trick is to get them into their cages for the short trip to the slaughterhouse without injuring them. [...]
Early devices included the chicken vacuum, which sucked up birds and shot them through tubes to waiting trucks. But the birds tended to plug up the tubes and turn somersaults as they traveled inside the contraption. "We had too many die on us," recalls Buddy Burruss, vice president of operations at Tip Top Poultry Inc. of Marietta, Ga., which tested and quickly abandoned the pneumatic approach two decades ago. [...]
And a mention of a chicken vaccuum can't go by without a mention of the inverse, the legendary Chicken Gun (more here.)

the case of the missing Sputnik
The Sputnik I mentioned last week has been mysteriously deleted from eBay! But apparently there was some doubt about it anyway:
Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Russian and Soviet Space collection at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., said experts believe Moscow originally made four back-up Sputniks. Yet far more than four Sputniks are now in circulation. The original 183-pound Sputnik burned up when it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
"There is so little documentation and accountability. We just don't know what it is," she said of the latest sale. [...]
The Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum displays one Sputnik; several Russian museums also claim original Sputniks. The Museum of Flight in Seattle spent more than $100,000 two years ago to buy a Sputnik with documentation from Moscow's Museum of Cosmonautics. [...]
George Stauffer, a vintage car dealer in Wisconsin, says he has two original Sputniks, making him the largest collector of the distinct space memorabilia. In an interview, he said he has documentation from Moscow's Museum of Technical Achievements. [...] He is now offering one of the two for sale on his web site for $39,000.

Building anarchism, one page at a time
Montreal's Anarchist Bookfair celebrates its 11th edition
News by Aaron Lakoff — Published April 6, 2010 | Comments
A Montreal anarchist timeline.
Glass shards lay scattered on the ground in front of a large chain store on Ste-Catherine Street West. A young punk, his face covered with a black bandana, screams at a line of riot police. Molotov cocktails and rocks fly through the air.
Though these are the typical images associated with anarchism in Montreal, there's a much broader picture to the political ideology that stems back over a century in this city.
Anarchism, the belief that formal government is unnecessary and therefore illegitimate, has deep roots in Montreal's communities, from factories to academic institutions like Concordia.
"No gods, No masters, No bosses, No borders" is a typical anarchist cry which encompasses the "freedom-loving" ideology. But while anarchists have a reputation for standing on a soapbox, they can be found to effect change through action.
"There are a lot of myths around anarchism," explained Sebastien Thibeault, a member of anarchist federation l'Union communiste libertaire. "One of the more persistent myths is that anarchism is only a subculture.
The reality is that anarchism has been rooted in working-class struggles ever since the emergence of modern capitalism."
Testament to the growing anarchist culture in Montreal, thousands of people converge in a modest community centre in the South West neighbourhood of Little Burgundy every May for the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair. It is a colourful gathering of hard-line anarchists, zine-makers, student activists, community organizations and many who are just curious about anarchism and what it stands for.
This year marks the 11th running of the book fair, which will take place over two days from May 29 to 30.
"That the anarchist book fair has not only lasted for 10 years, but grown tremendously, is a testament to the need to carve out our own niches and a testament to the commitment of anarchists and non-anarchists who have critiques of the current global system [and want] to look for better [alternatives]," said Amanda Dorter, a member of the book fair's organizing collective.
More than simply a space for independent anarchist publishers to sell their books and magazines, the book fair is a multi-day festival that includes workshops, activities for kids, art exhibitions and concerts. In past years, organizers estimated it has drawn over 5,000 people and tout it as the largest anarchist event in North America.
"The first traces of anarchism in Quebec go back to the 19th century," explained Mathieu Houle-Courcelles, author of Sur les traces de l'anarchisme au Québec. "More concretely, there was an anarchist movement which took form at the beginning of the 20th century, notably after 1906 in Montreal. For the most part, it was coming from new immigrants from eastern Europe, mostly Jews, who formed very dynamic anarchist organizations which held a dominant place on [Montreal's] political landscape until the First World War."
According to Houle-Courcelle's book, these immigrant anarchists set up bookstores and publishing offices downtown, mostly around the corner of St-Laurent Boulevard and Ste-Catherine Street, in what has become the gritty Lower Main district.
These would-be revolutionaries were poor workers who rallied behind the the creation of labour unions, particularly for factory workers in Montreal's women's garment district.
Despite Montreal's vibrant history of anarchism, one would be hard pressed to find many long-standing anarchist organizations, or many anarchist activists over the age of 30.
In the movement today, a common term is "activist burnout," a tipping point that traditionally comes after years of criminal charges, long meetings, too many beatings from the police or simply the stress of being involved in day-to-day solidarity work.
Thibeault suggested that the longevity of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair is a sign that the stereotypical flash-in-the-pan style of anarchism is fading.
"Years ago, there was little to no chance of getting past the five-year mark for an anarchist organization in Quebec. Now it is a reality for many collectives," he said. "The Summit of the Americas [in Quebec City] in 2001 and the large student strikes of 1996, 2005 and 2007 were largely responsible for the realization that durable, long-lasting anarchist organizations are a necessity."
"In Montreal, you'll have organizations fighting against the state of affairs, but at the same time trying to set up alternative ways of being," said Anna Kruzynski, an anarchist activist and a professor at Concordia's School of Community and Public Affairs. "Often this is not portrayed in the media because it's [a coalition within] an everyday neighbourhood or [the result of] community-based organizing; things that are not visible to the general public."
Kruzynski was involved in a large anarchist initiative called the Autonomous Social Centre, which tried to squat in an abandoned building in Pointe-St-Charles last May. The goal of the squat-in was to petition for the building of a multi-use community centre in the neighbourhood.
Rooted within the walls of Concordia University, part of Kruzynski's research on anarchism includes work she does with the Collective for Research on Collective Autonomy, a group which conducts research on anti-authoritarian, pro-feminist movements across Quebec.
"It's important that many of these initiatives that are not available to the public eye be documented," said Kruzynski. "This kind of research allows us to debunk some of the myths about anarchist activism."
Houle-Courcelles agreed that anarchist publishing has greatly contributed to this demystification of the movement.
Through an increased access to publishing and no shortage of websites and blogs on the subject, anarchists have been able to put their ideas out to the world and get around the stereotype that anarchism only stands for chaos and violence.
"Over the last 15 years, the many books which have been written about anarchism in Quebec have fleshed out the ideology a bit, and has allowed people to see that anarchism doesn't limit itself to the existing prejudices against it," said Houle-Courcelles.
All that's left
Anarchists aren't the only ones on the radical left who are engaged in publishing and book distribution in Montreal. Last March, the Revolutionary Communist Party, a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist group, opened up a bookstore called the Maison Norman Bethune near Frontenac Metro.
While their bookshop stands in contrast to the anarchist bookshop l'Insoumise on St-Laurent Boulevard, RCP member Jacques Beaudoin insists that the Maison Norman Bethune isn't trying to compete with anarchist publishing.
"We value the distribution of any book, including books that aren't of the same political orientation as ours, but that the text allows us to better understand a given social issue," said Beaudoin. "The more leftist bookshops, the better."
Meanwhile, organizers of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair are already gearing up for the 2010 edition of their event.
While the thought of a building full of punks and counter-culture radicals might be off-putting to some, Dorter encourages everyone to come out to this year's book fair whether anarchist or otherwise.
"There really is something for everyone here. We live in a place where cops racially profile and kill people with impunity, where migrants are being deported at increasingly alarming rates and where layoffs and cuts to benefits are causing greater poverty and insecurity for regular people," said Dorter.
"Why not find out what some alternatives to the system are?"
The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair will take place at the CEDA centre (2515 Delisle St.) from May 29 to 30, and will be preceded by the Festival of Anarchy during the entire month of May.

It's been a long time since my last post. Here is a new character sketch from The Cleansed.
Follow the link to see all the artwork from the series (by yours truly) on one page and maybe even by some. Most originals are available for $150.


I went from the high of winning an Olympic gold medal that I had looked forward to for my entire career. To be able to do that in my final Olympics, and 18th Olympic race, was really a dream come true. So I went from that amazing high to finishing my race career — which I'd been doing for 20 years — and trying to figure out the next step for me. And then, just a month or so into that, I got my breast cancer diagnosis.
You really can't believe it at first. No one expects to hear the words, 'You've got cancer.' For someone like me who is so young and so fit — an athlete feeling on top of the world — that just seemed impossible. But I could feel the reality of the situation and the gravity of it.
My first challenge was navigating my health insurance options as my family had just moved to British Columbia for my husband's job and I didn't have health coverage in Canada yet. Luckily I still had coverage in the U.S., so I had to remotely begin arranging a medical team and quickly come up with a plan to go up to Alaska, my home state, to get treatment.
Being young, one of my biggest concerns when I heard the news was my future ability to have children. I have a son, who is 2, and I absolutely love being a parent. My husband and I had been excited to grow our family once the Olympics were done. And so, all of a sudden, not knowing if I would have the ability to have more children after I got treatment was a little bit difficult to digest. Thankfully I was able to get some good advice right away and I ended up doing a round of fertility treatments to preserve embryos before I started my cancer treatments. Making that happen was the first plan of action.
Next I got up to Alaska and met with my breast surgeon and my oncologist. Over the previous weeks we had learned more about my cancer. I was considered triple positive, which is not so common. My tumor was a little bit bigger than originally thought. And a positive lymph node was identified. Given all the new information we felt it was better to do chemotherapy upfront to see how that treatment would work. And then surgery is a second step and radiation is a third.
Everything seemed to happen pretty quickly. I started chemotherapy about a month after I got my diagnosis which we determined would be six rounds of treatment spread out every three weeks. Before you start, they tell you what chemo might be like, how it affects some people and what the side effects might be. But they can't really tell you how you're going to react because everyone reacts differently. I decided going in that I wanted to stay as active as I could because I know that's what my body is used to and that has served me well through challenges in the past.
The day after my first chemo treatment, I made a public announcement on Instagram and Facebook. And then literally within seconds, my social media feeds just started blowing up. So many people told me I was strong and they were confident I was going to get through this and they wanted to help any way they could. It just blew me away. I have always felt really well supported as an athlete. But to have everyone express their support when I was in such a challenging position, I still have trouble finding the words to describe what it means to me. I really think that having a good support system is a key to getting through this.
My first round of chemo went pretty well. I definitely felt the effects the first week, just felt kind of low energy, like I had the flu. I stayed active and by the end of the second week I was starting to feel a little more normal and got my energy back. And then by the third week I was actually feeling really good and got out and did some fun workouts with friends and former teammates.
I wondered whether or when my hair would fall out. I was waiting for it and by the end of the third week of that first round I could tell some strands were starting to come out. So I went to the hairdresser I've been working with for 10 years — and she buzzed my head for me. It felt good to get a little jump on that. My hair has fallen out ever since. I'm pretty bald nowadays, but I've been embracing it. It's definitely got its advantages. Showers are pretty quick now. Working out is a little bit cooler. I don't have to think about getting my hair ready. So that's been a little bit of a silver lining.
On my second round, I ended up catching a cold from my son, who goes to daycare. And that was unfortunate because my immune system is suppressed from chemotherapy. So that was a little bit rough and I spent the better part of the three weeks of that round with almost no voice and pretty low energy. I realized I was going to have to be much more careful and I started wearing a mask when I travel. Traveling between our home in British Columbia and Alaska entails two flights and a drive. It takes about eight hours, if everything goes the way it's supposed to.
The third round went better than expected. I don't know if that was just in comparison to round two, but I got my energy back so much quicker. The other rounds have gone well too. I feel lucky that I get these three-week blocks where I have rough days at the beginning of the cycle, but then I kind of rebound and recover. And when I get out and exercise I find that it helps my mood, helps me stay positive, helps me feel like I'm accomplishing something every day.
When you first get your diagnosis, there's a lot of focus on how hard this is going to be on the body. And I totally respect that. But I also think we could be a little bit more encouraging about what you can do. For me the physical piece has been beneficial. Some days it's taken a concerted effort to get out there, but I've always been glad that I've done it and I always have in the back of my mind if I really don't feel good I can always turn back around and lay on the couch. I'm giving myself that permission.
I wear rainbow-colored shoes to all my appointments. I call them my happy shoes. I wear bright colors and bright-colored socks just as a way of reminding myself to be happy even while going through these treatments. That has helped me a lot. I have friends who come and visit while I'm getting my infusions and friends who invite me to go out and do things. I'm really grateful for that and really grateful for my family at home. My little guy, who's 2 years old, is the best distraction there is. I've never felt so bad that I can't still be Mom! My husband quit his job so he could support me at home and keep things going while I go through this and I am so grateful and lucky to have him.
Over the last 20 years I've really had to focus on myself to produce my best performance. Now it's been really great to just focus on the amazing things I have in my life to help me stay positive. So far it's gone pretty well. I've got five rounds under my belt and one round to go. Then the next step will be surgery and radiation.
On the surgery front, that's been a really interesting dilemma. When I first got my diagnosis, I was recommended surgery first and it almost felt like the double mastectomy was the way to go, which if you choose reconstruction requires multiple follow-up surgeries and possible complications. So I feel kind of fortunate that I had to go through chemo first because it has given me time to really learn about the different surgical options. After thinking it through I've actually decided to pursue the lumpectomy, a more minimally invasive approach, where they just remove the area where the tumor was.
I'm feeling optimistic about how the chemo is working and how the surgery will go. Radiation is a kind of necessary evil but they say the techniques have gotten really good these days. Hopefully it won't have any impact on my heart and lungs. I really like those. I'm hoping by midwinter to be getting back to a more normal life again.
It's a scary thing to learn you have cancer, but I have promised myself I will stay active and positive throughout all of my treatments. And I am going to bring as much tenacity and energy to this challenge as I have to my life as an Olympic athlete. Onward and upward!

Wiesenthal Says Bormann, Other War Criminals, Alive and Hiding in South America
Simon Wiesenthal, the director of the Jewish documentation center in Vienna, who has devoted his life to tracking down wanted Nazi war criminals, said in Strassbourg yesterday that Hitler's deputy, Martin Bormann, and a host of other wanted Nazis are alive and hiding in South America. Mr. Wiesenthal also asserted that other war criminals have found a safe haven in East Germany where one of them is now a member of Parliament. He identified the latter as Stefan Roick, who allegedly directed the extermination of the Lublin ghetto.
Mr. Wiesenthal spoke at a conference organized by the Strassbourg branch of the B'nai B'rith. He said Bormann was constantly on the move between Paraguay, Chile and southwestern Brazil. He is constantly watched by bodyguards who use special transmission equipment to warn him of the presence of strangers in his vicinity, Mr. Wiesenthal said. In addition to Bormann, South America has provided a haven for Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller, Richard Glucks, who was inspector-general of the concentration camps, and Josef Mengele, the notorious "death camp doctor" of Auschwitz, Mr. Wiesenthal said.
He declared that according to "highly reliable sources," these men, if apprehended and extradited, would not benefit from the statute of limitations on war crimes prosecutions that is scheduled to go into effect in West Germany on Dec. 31, 1969. The Bonn Government would try them as it has at its disposal huge amounts of evidence against them, Mr. Wiesenthal said. He added, however, that because of the safety precautions they take, the wanted Nazis could be arrested only by the authorities of the countries in which they live.

Chocohead, what program are you using to open it? It opens just fine for me with WinRar.
I tried both with WinRAR and 7Zip and neither were happy.
Thanks, that worked fine. I'll include it in the next version of Advanced Machines.
Sorry for the noob question, but, If i wanted to switch to your port from the advanced-machines-59.0.2 one, on an exsisting world.
Then when i start the server i get a whole lot of missing block messages.
What can i do to use my exsisting map with this port?

Reforestation Recap: Planting 5,000 Trees in Brazil
Thanks to the generous donations of our community and business partners, we recently funded planting 5,000 trees in Bananal, Brazil with the help of our on-the-ground project partners at AMOVALE, and countless volunteers who came out to help.
Here's the backstory to the region where we planted:
The Atlantic Forest originally covered an area equivalent to 130 million hectares and extended over 17 Brazilian states. Over the last 5 centuries logging, mining, farming, grazing, wildfires and unplanned urbanization had a huge impact on the ecosystem. Today, only 10% of the forest remains in fragmented areas. It is considered a global hotspot as one of the richest areas in biodiversity on the planet, but also one of the most threatened. It is home to more than 20,000 plant species, 990 bird species, 300 mammal species, and more than 900 of other vertebrate species (reptiles, amphibians and fish).
Around 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the Atlantic Forest area including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the two most populous cities in the country, and depend on water supply produced by that forest. Political lobbying related to grazing and conventional land-exhausting agriculture (agribusiness) and its consequent weakening of environmental laws are important causes of deforestation in Brazil today. The protection of the forest has depended considerably on actions led by private or community groups.
Our local partners:
The Association of Residents and Friends of the Bocaina Valley (AMOVALE) is a nonprofit community organization created in 2013. AMOVALE's mission is to preserve the environment through the recovery of degraded areas and protection of water resources by planting native trees, preventing wildfires, and disseminating information regarding environmental issues in its region of action. Their work focus is in the Atlantic Forest. AMOVALE has been planting native trees in degraded areas in Bananal, SP (East São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil) in partnership with landowners, especially with the goal of recovering springs and riparian vegetation. They have planted thousands of trees in the last 4 years with collective efforts counting on volunteers from the community. They have also studied and selected a set of about 80 different pioneer native species which are locally and ecologically adapted for the initial colonization of a previously degraded ecosystem. Their activities are also oriented towards environmental education of local school kids, with funding coming mainly from donations from local businesses and residents, and now One Tree Planted!
