Brooks: Green New Deal should be scrapped
National News State
Elections National News State
New index shows rising prosperity in Alabama and the U.S.
Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, signed the discharge petition for H.Res. 132, a resolution calling for consideration of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's, D-New York, Green New Deal.
If 218 U.S. House of Representatives members sign the discharge petition, there will be a House floor vote on Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, which Brooks derided as the "Green Raw Deal."
"I signed the discharge petition on the so-called Green Raw Deal to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi to hold a vote on this absurdity advocated so long and so often by Socialist Democrats," Brooks said. "While I'm all for having a vote on the Green Raw Deal, let me be very clear: I will vote to kill it! The American people deserve to know where their Congressional representatives stand on the heavy burden and costs of the Green Raw Deal."
So far, 89 congressmen have signed the discharge petition for the Green Raw Deal, Brooks said.
"Remarkably, not one Socialist Democrat cosponsor of the Green Raw Deal has joined our discharge petition to force a floor vote," Brooks said. "What are supporters of the Green Raw Deal afraid of? If they support the Green Raw Deal they ought to want to vote on it."
Brooks said the Green New Deal is a vague manifesto of "radical Socialist Democrat policies" that promises "massive government intervention" and the "economic transformation" of America.
"Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who directed the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office from 2003 to 2005, estimates the Green Raw Deal will cost between $51 trillion and $93 trillion over 10-years," Brooks said. "$93 trillion equates to $600,000 per household. If every American household earning more than $100,000 were taxed at a 100% rate for 10 years, Socialist Democrats would still fall more than $32 trillion short of paying for the Green Raw Deal. Yet, this is what 93 House Socialist Democrats and 12 Socialist Democrat Senators stand for."
The Green New Deal's central theme is that climate change is such an imminent and catastrophic problem that every resource possible must be used to combat it, Brooks said.
"This is unproven by science," Brooks said. "To the contrary, Green Raw Deal advocates are really akin to the 'Flat Earthers' of the Dark Ages who ignored real science and insisted the earth was flat because that is what popular opinion insisted it was. I serve on the Science, Space and Technology Committee. I am familiar with what REAL science says about climate change. For starters, Earth's climate has consistently changed since the earth was born more than four billion years ago. So, climate change today is not new nor should it be unexpected to anyone familiar with earth's history. Global warming alarmists claim sea levels are rising and have risen 8 to 9 inches over the past century. Scary stuff? Yes and no. Yes, because any sea level rise risks coastal communities. No, because the past century's sea level rise is, on average, only one-third of the sea level rise average of two feet per century over the past 20,000 years! Frankly, members of Congress who support the Green Raw Deal are dangerous and ought to be embarrassed to support such bad legislation."
Brooks has been a vocal opponent of the Green New Deal and socialism. Brooks is also a strong supporter of the free enterprise system.
Congressman Mo Brooks is currently serving in his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he represents Alabama's Fifth Congressional District.

Q: When to use raw (not relative) change vs. absolute change in a T-Test? Suppose I have students 1 through 100 predict their test scores prior to taking a test. After the test, I record their actual scores, so that the head of my data table looks like this:
   Student AnticipatedScore ActualScore Change AbsoluteChange
1       1                 9          10      1              1
2       2                10           9     -1              1
3       3                 6           6      0              0
4       4                 7           9      2              2
5       5                 5           3     -2              2
6       6                 2           3      1              1
7       7                 5           4     -1              1
8       8                10          10      0              0
9       9                 8          10      2              2
10     10                 6           4     -2              2

I am trying to see whether students' predictions are accurate and to what degree. To do this, I am thinking of performing a t-test on the difference between anticipated score and actual score, but I am not sure whether to use the raw difference or the absolute change. Which one would be more appropriate and in what cases?
When conducting a t-test, if using the absolute change the difference is significantly different than 0 (1.2+-0.6), but when using the actual raw change the 95% confidence interval is around 0 (+-1.1)
Which metric is more appropriate in this case? When would the other metric be more appropriate? I am trying to see if students' predictions are accurate and to what degree.
Thanks.

A: You say that you are

trying to see whether students' predictions are accurate and to what
  degree.

A t-test is not appropriate here.
You could look at the correlation between actual scores and predicted scores. You could look at the distribution of either absolute difference or raw difference (I suggest a box plot, a quantile normal plot and a strip plot).  You could see if the relationship between actual and predicted varies depending on how well they do (I suggest a Tukey mean difference plot, also known as a Bland Altman plot).
If you have other information about the students, then other things become possible.  E.g. Do boys predict differently from girls? In what ways?  But you didn't ask about that, so I won't expand on that.

A: You should use what you call the actual raw change based on the following reasoning.  If the null hypothesis of no difference (other than due to chance) is true, there will still be some amount of difference between the actual and anticipated score - due to chance.  Some scores will differ on the positive side, some on the negative side, and the average of the difference scores is expected to be zero.  If you take the absolute value of the difference scores, all non-zero differences will be positive.  The expected value of the absolute value of the difference scores will not be zero and you may well find statistical significance when the mean of the absolute difference scores is compared to zero.  I hope this makes sense to you.

Home News European tourist magnets hit back as Airbnb turns 10
European tourist magnets hit back as Airbnb turns 10
Airbnb has gone from "a way to make a few bucks" to a multibillion company posing a major headache to the hotel industry
Facing competition from Airbnb, which will celebrate a decade this summer, top European attractions such as Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona are out to revamp their own offerings.
The move is to keep rental prices in check yet keep supply healthy as Airbnb continues to be a thorn in the side of hoteliers, ten years on from its August 11, 2008 debut as Airbed & Breakfast.
After several false starts, the web-based phenomenon emerged in the public glare of that year's Democratic National Convention in Denver to offer a competitive alternative to a "saturated" hotel market and, as one of its co-founders said, "a way to make a few bucks".
Ten years on, Airbnb is worth an estimated $31 billion and has a stock of five million accommodation units advertising with it globally in 81,000 cities across some 200 countries.
Those statistics make it a standout success story of the sharing economy as it responds to "rising touristic and professional demand for independent and more spacious centrally-located accommodation in large cities," reported France's urbanism association Apur last month.
The hotel industry is less sold on the success of what has become a big rival eating into its business without being subject to the same legal and fiscal constraints.
Municipal authorities have also expressed "numerous misgivings," notes Apur, finding Airbnb-style rentals have driven up prices to the extent many major European cities as well as New York and Tokyo have embarked upon a regulatory offensive.
Paris, Airbnb's number one market globally with some 60,000 rentals, has already faced legal challenges along with rival Wimdu. Authorities have also clamped down harder on owners not respecting legal requirements with some already hit with fines after the French parliament voted though a package of action last month.
Paris, having already last year capped the maximum number of days permitted for a short-term let to 120 annually, also said in April it would sue Airbnb and Wimdu for failing to remove ads from people not properly declaring their properties.
Spanish cities have tried hard to put the squeeze on private landlords by, for example, limiting offerings to ground floor apartments which also afford provision of a private entrance.
Palma de Mallorca is seeking an outright ban after seeing such rentals soar 40 percent between 2013 and 2017.
In Madrid, where some 9,000 apartments are up for rent—around 2,000 of them unlicensed—the radical leftist city authorities are seeking by the end of this year to introduce a 95 percent tax rate for legal rentals.
Berlin cracked down on Airbnb but then relaxed its grip somewhat
"Doublespeak"
On the Mediterranean coast Barcelona has also taken up the cudgels amid protests from residents of districts drowned in a sea of tourists ready to party noisily at all hours.
The city authorities now say no new licences will be granted to single apartments based in the historic city centre.
Amsterdam back in December 2016 signed an accord it hailed as "unique in Europe" with Airbnb banning rentals beyond 60 days a year.
Berlin, which has seen real estate prices soar in recent years, had months earlier passed one of the continent's strictest regimes to hobble further Airbnb expansion entailing the rental of a maximum one room in one's dwelling with 100,000 euros ($110,000 fines) as a deterrent.
Even so, since May, that has been relaxed to allow renting out one's entire private apartment.
On June 15, representatives from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid and Paris—with Berlin absent but associated—met to "take stock of the extent of the phenomenon and compare public policy," said Ian Brossat, tasked with rental affairs at Paris city hall.
Furthermore, a dozen European municipalities are to meet on Thursday in Brussels before holding autumn follow-up talks with EU internal market commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska.
"We are up against doublespeak from the platform (Airbnb) which, on the one hand, says it is going to play it by the rules and yet, on the other, indulges in intense lobbying in Brussels," Brossat said.
Various rental tourism operators have filed complaints with the European Commission to contest national legislation of France, Spain, Belgium and Germany but for the time being it does not foresee the opening of violation procedures against one of these countries.
Despite the turbulence it has thrown up, professionals recognise that Airbnb has contributed to the sector's positive overall development.
"I'm very much an admirer. They have done remarkable work in facilitating reservation, trip preparation, and the placing in contact with and very rapid exchange of information with the host," Fabrice Collet, director general of France's B&B group, told AFP.
He adds their pricing strategy "has enabled families to travel who previously were not able to do so."

Structural characterization of the mouse Girk genes.
Wickman K1, Pu WT, Clapham DE.
Cardiac and neuronal G protein-gated potassium (K(G)) channels are activated by neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, opioids, and dopamine. K(G) channel activation leads to an inhibition of synaptic transmission. K(G) channels are tetrameric complexes formed by assembly of G protein-gated, inwardly-rectifying potassium (K(+)) channel (GIRK) subunits. Four mammalian GIRK subunits (GIRK1-4) have been identified. In this study, we identify key features of the four mouse Girk genes including sequence, intron/exon structures, alternative splicing events, and candidate transcriptional start points. The mouse Girk genes are organized similarly, each containing four to seven exons. While the mouse Girk1 and Girk2 genes are relatively large (>100 kb), mouse Girk3 and Girk4 genes are compact (<20 kb). Multiple mRNA variants of Girk1, Girk3, and Girk4 were identified, existing by virtue of alternative splicing and/or usage of distinct transcription initiation sites. These findings should facilitate future studies aimed at understanding the transcriptional regulation of K(G) channels and their potential involvement in disease.


As if to fulfil his own prophecy, Chip Taylor has never charted a record in the 'Billboard' or 'Cash Box' or 'Record World' pop charts as a performer. Born John Wesley Voigt in Yonkers, New York, he hung around the Brill/1650 Broadway scene, making records but mostly writing songs. As a songwriter, he was plenty successful: Wild Thing, Angel Of The Morning, Storybook Children, and countless lesser singles and LP cuts. As a performer, a plethora of labels took a chance on him, but without much of a payoff. 101 in Cashbox was a contrived piece with all the commercial savvy of New York pop and none of the darkness or surrealism of Parsons, Shaver, and their kin. The song namechecks a whole bunch of people that only an industry insider such as Taylor would know; in other words, the guys that J.J. Cale turned down a million bucks to avoid. Taylor's single didn't sell and neither did the accompanying album, but in France local star Eddy Mitchell recorded this song with some success as Ecoute Coco. And starting in 1975 Taylor actually scored a few country hits, only slightly less fleeting than 101 In Cashbox.

Hans Heinrich Landolt (5 December 1831 – 15 March 1910) was a Swiss chemist who discovered iodine clock reaction. He is also one of the founders of Landolt–Börnstein database. He tested law of mass conservation which was given by Lavoisier.

Biography
Landolt was born in Zurich and at the age of nineteen entered the university there to study chemistry and physics. He attended the lectures of Carl Jacob Löwig and published his first work on stibmethyl in Schriften der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft (Writings of the Natural Science Society). He was then appointed assistant to Lowig and followed him in 1853 to Breslau. The same year he obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a thesis "Ueber die Arsenäthyle" (On ethyl compounds of arsenic) which was a notable contribution to the law of chemical valence. After the defense, he went to Berlin to attend lectures of Eilhard Mitscherlich, Rose, Johannes Muller and Dubois. Facilities for experimental research in chemistry were practically non-existent in Berlin at the time, and therefore Landolt left for Heidelberg for a newly founded institute of Robert Bunsen. After devoting himself for a short time to the electrolytic production of calcium and lithium, Landolt started an investigation of the gases produced in the Bunsen burner, which had been constructed in the winter of 1854–55.

In 1856 Landolt returned to Breslau, where he was soon afterwards joined by Lothar Meyer and Friedrich Konrad Beilstein. In the same year he became a lecturer in chemistry on the strength of his monograph on "Chemische Vorgange in der Flamme der Leuchtgase" (Chemical processes in the flame of illuminating gases). In 1857, he was called to Bonn where he studied the effect of the atomic composition of liquids containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen on the transmission of light. The results were published in 1862–1864 and were a continuation of the previous researches of John Hall Gladstone. Later in his life he elaborated the work of Hertz (1887–1888) and demonstrated that light waves are differentiated from electric waves merely by the wavelength, and in 1892 he extended his early work to measurements of the molecular refractivity of organic substances for radiowaves.

At Bonn, in 1859, Landolt married Milla Schallenberg, the daughter of Swiss parents settled in Bonn. In 1869, he was appointed to the head of the newly founded technical college at Aachen, where a chemical institute was built according to his plans. His work there was concerned with the relations between physical properties and chemical constitution. In particular, he made use of polarized light and studied optical rotation by various chemicals. In 1880, he was called by the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture to the newly founded Agricultural College in Berlin, where he remained until 1891. There he constructed new laboratories and collaborated with Richard Börnstein in the compilation of the "Physikalisch-chemischen Tabellen" (Physical-chemical Tables). Their third edition was published in 1905 with the assistance of Wilhelm Meyerhoffer and a generous financial support by the Berlin Academy of Sciences.

In 1882 Landolt became a member of the Berlin Academy. Around that time he made highly remarkable investigations into the kinetics of the iodine clock reaction between iodic acid and sulfurous acid. From 1891 till his retirement in 1905, he served as director of the second chemical institute of the Berlin University. There he worked on three major problems: (i) relation between the melting point and molecular weight, (ii) effect of crystallinity on the optical rotation and (iii) change in weight during chemical reactions. The negative result for the last experiments was regarded as an accurate experimental confirmation of the conservation laws of mass and energy.

Landolt was known for his humor, friendliness, punctuality and cigar. He was fit and worked as usual until the week before his death, when he had a sudden failure of heart and kidney. He was buried, in accordance with his desire, at Bonn where he spent most memorable years of his life.

The head of the Catholic Church in Germany submits his resignation over the 'sexual assault disaster'
Phyllis Ward June 4, 2021 2 min read
What do changes in the laws of the Vatican mean? 2:30
(CNN) – The leader of the Catholic Church in Germany, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, wrote to Pope Francis asking him to accept his resignation as Archbishop of Munich and Freising, citing his "shared responsibility for the catastrophe of sexual abuse" by Catholic Church officials. Message posted on Friday.
"It is important for me to share responsibility for the catastrophe of sexual abuse by church officials over the past decades," Marx wrote to the Pope in a letter sent on May 21.
He added, "Investigations and reports over the past ten years have consistently shown that there have been many personal failures and management errors, but there are also institutional or 'systematic' failures."
According to a statement from the Diocese of Munich, Pope Francis told Cardinal Marx that he must continue to exercise his episcopal service until a decision is made.
Cardinal Reinhard Marx
The statement also notes that Marx had "repeatedly thought about resigning in recent months."
"It is painful to me to witness the grave damage done to the reputation of bishops in the ecclesiastical and secular perception that it may be at an all-time low," said Marx.
"I feel that by staying silent, ignoring work and focusing so much on the church's reputation, I have personally made myself guilty and responsible," he added.
Speaking at the historic Vatican Summit in February 2019, Marx admitted that documents that could have contained evidence of sexual abuse by clergy in the Catholic Church had been destroyed or not redacted.

"Archives that could have documented the horrific events and named those responsible were destroyed or not created," Marx said.
He added, "The procedures and processes set out in prosecuting crimes have not been intentionally adhered to…These standard practices will make clear that it is not transparency that is harmful to the church, but the abuse committed, the lack of transparency, or the resulting cover-up." .
At a subsequent press conference during the summit, Marx said the information about the archives destruction came from a study conducted by German bishops in 2014. The study was "scientific" and did not name leaders of a particular church or diocese. In Germany they destroyed the files.

Q: How to make the first page of index fancy I have a file called index.tex that looks like this:
\begin{theindex}
\item apple, 39
\item banana, 23
 ... lots more of this stuff stretching over say 4 pages
\end{theindex}

I include it in a MWE as follows:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{Page \thepage/\pageref{LastPage}}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
hello \newpage
hello \newpage
hello \newpage

\include{index}

\end{document}

The problem is that the page style of the first index page is not fancy, it only indicates the page number in the cfoot.
What can be done to force this first page to have the same formatting of the rest of the document?

A: The theindex environment issues a \thispagestyle{plain} command. The easiest way to remove it is to do
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\theindex}{\thispagestyle{plain}}{}{}{}

Q: PyPDF2 PdfFileMerger.Merge Class I am trying to use this class to append a page from one PDF to another by specifying the page position.
Does anyone have experience with this? I couldn't find any example of using PdfFileMerger.merge over internet
with open(orig_pdf, 'rb') as orig, open(amend_pdf, 'rb') as new:

pdf = PdfFileMerger()
pdf.merge(2, new)
pdf.write('.pdf')

A: Consider using merge and passing the position, which is the page number you wish to add the pdf file
There are (probably) many ways of achieving the same results. Heres a basic working example:
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileMerger, PdfFileReader

orig_pdf = r'C:\temp\old.pdf'
amend_pdf = r'C:\temp\new.pdf'

with open(orig_pdf, 'rb') as orig, open(amend_pdf, 'rb') as new:
    merger = PdfFileMerger()
    merger.append(PdfFileReader(orig_pdf))

    # Add amend_pdf after page 2
    merger.merge(2, PdfFileReader(amend_pdf))
    merger.write("results.pdf")

For more info, have a look at the official documentation https://pythonhosted.org/PyPDF2/PdfFileMerger.html

As one of the most popular franchises to date, does McClane and co really stand up to be counted?
Die Hard is a growing franchise, currently spanning more than quarter of a century. Despite this, the franchise has stood the test of time particularly well. Aside from the huge cell phones, dreadful 80's clothes and talk about "futuristic micro chips" early in the franchise, the majority of special effects and explosions would hold it's own in modern cinema.
As expected with not getting any younger, McClane shoots a lot more people in the later films and is also seen to take part in fewer physical fights than the first three films. But this doesn't feel out of place, especially as the final three films are not confined to mainly a singular place.
Throughout the franchise, McClane is responsible for 79% of all kills made by goodies, solidifying his role as a badass character even though he works with partner from the third film onwards. 65 kills is a huge amount for a police officer, and when considering he uses 50% of the weapons used during the franchise it shows he's a much sharper shot than both his friends and enemies; however, despite being an un-realistic portrayal of a cop, it does set up the character and franchise nicely.
McClane's habits like smoking and talking to himself slow down considerably as the franchise moves on displaying the franchise moving away from its roots planted in the original couple of films. It's also telling that as soon as John gets a partner he almost never talks to himself.
The addition of Jack McClane and his backstory for the final film makes for interesting watching. His similar ballsy attitude to John McClane would make a very effective and popular future lead for the franchise adding an element of youth and reinvigoration. With Bruce Willis wanting to keep the Die Hard franchise running and with it still bringing in an impressive amount of money this could certainly become a reality.
The final two films of the franchise have generally hinged on McClane saving each of his children. With no children left to save, maybe it's finally time for him to fix his broken marriage. Whichever way future instalments decide to go, we're sure there'll be plenty of explosions, injuries, elaborate action scenes and McClane kills to keep the inner adrenaline-junkie interested.
Why not drive your car into a flying helicopter if it's shooting at you?
Why bother with family therapy when you can destroy Russia instead?

Claus Marx (* 21. August 1931 in Celle) ist ein deutscher emeritierter Professor für Maschinenbau im Fachgebiet Erdöl- und Erdgastechnik und ehemaliger Rektor der Technischen Universität Clausthal.

Berufliche Laufbahn
Nach seinem Abitur am Hermann-Billung-Gymnasium in Celle studierte Claus Marx ab dem Wintersemester 1951/1952 Maschinenbau an der Technischen Hochschule Hannover mit den Vertiefungsfächern Werkzeugmaschinen, Tiefbohrkunde und Erdölgewinnung. In dieser Zeit wurde er Mitglied der Hannoverschen Burschenschaft Arminia. Nach Abschluss seines Hauptexamens 1956 nahm Marx eine Tätigkeit als Testingenieur bei der Firma Schlumberger und anschließend als Lagerstätteningenieur bei Wintershall auf. Ab 1964 war er als Technischer Leiter der Christensen Diamont Products GmbH in Celle tätig.

Parallel gab Marx mehrere Veröffentlichungen auf den Gebieten der Lagerstättentechnik, über Mess- und Testverfahren im Bohrloch, das Herrichten von Bohrungen für die Produktion (Komplettierung) sowie über Tief- und Flachbohrtechnik heraus und referierte auf Fachtagungen. Ab 1972 war er neben seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit externer Doktorand am Institut für Tiefbohrkunde und Erdölgewinnung (ITE) der Technischen Universität Clausthal und wurde am 17. Dezember 1973 mit einer Dissertation über das Thema "Untersuchung des Gesteinsbodens mit Diamantkronen" zum Dr.-Ing. promoviert.

Am 1. April 1975 erhielt Claus Marx eine Berufung zum Ordentlichen Professor und trat die Nachfolge von Professor Hubert Becker als Direktor des ITE an der TU Clausthal an. Er lehrte auf den Gebieten der Tiefbohrtechnik, Flachbohrtechnik, Erdöl- und Erdgasgewinnung sowie Lagerstättentechnik.

Bedingt durch die Ölkrise stieg der Bedarf an Forschung und Weiterentwicklung der Erdöl- und Erdgasförderung, so dass Marx das ITE um die Fachgebiete Erdgasfördertechnik, Erdgasspeichertechnik und Erdgasferntransport erweiterte. 1979 wurde eine zusätzliche Professur für Lagerstättentechnik eingerichtet. Parallel erhielt das ITE bauliche Erweiterungen um mehrere Versuchshallen, Prüfstände und Testanlagen.

Claus Marx war von 1975 bis 1982 Mitglied im Sachverständigenkreis für Energieforschung im Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie und 1988 bis 1994 Vertreter im Executive Board des Deutschen Nationalkomitees für die Vorbereitung der Welt-Erdöl-Kongresse. Seit 1972 gehörte Marx der Deutschen Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft für Erdöl, Erdgas und Kohle e. V. (DGMK) an und war zeitweise Mitglied des Vorstandes, wissenschaftlicher Beirat und wissenschaftlicher Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Erdöl Erdgas Kohle (EEK). Unter seinem Vorsitz fusionierte die Deutsche Vereinigung der Erdölgeologen und Erdölingenieure (DVGI) 1987 mit dem Fachbereich Aufsuchung und Gewinnung der DGMK. Am 28. April 1998 wurde Claus Marx die Carl-Engler-Medaille der DGMK verliehen.

Von 1981 bis 1983 war Marx Dekan des Fachbereichs Bergbau und Rohstoffe der Technischen Universität Clausthal, 1985 bis 1999 Dekan der Ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Fakultät. 1993 bis 1994 vertrat er die TU Clausthal als Prorektor und Rektor.

Nach seiner Emeritierung im Oktober 1999 blieb Marx der TU Clausthal und seinem Institut in beratender Tätigkeit erhalten und hielt bis 2003 Vorlesungen und Seminare.

Spring is here and as April showers begin to bring May flowers, many of us head outdoors to cultivate our gardens and trim trees in preparation for the season. This month is National Safe Digging Month, an initiative established to raise awareness about electrical safe digging and preventing damages to underground utility lines. During National Safety Month, UGI home and business owners to be aware of what's above.
Overhead power lines providing electric service at various voltages can be found around many of our homes and businesses. Contact with an overhead wire with your body of conductive objects such as ladders, poles, and antennae can cause serious injury or death.
Always be aware of the location of overhead lines when you are trimming trees or working on your roof, windows, siding, or rain gutters. Keeping ladders, platforms, tools, and equipment at least feet away from any wires will avoid the potential for power outages, fire, and serious injury.
To learn more about electrical safety and safe digging, visit us online at www.ugi.com/safety.

CORONVIRUS REPORT for TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2020
Another four new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the Manitoulin District.
As of December 7th at 4:00 pm, there have been 238 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
One of the cases' exposure category is listed as a close contact of a confirmed case, while the other three are listed as information pending or missing.
There are now eight active cases, said Public Health Sudbury & Districts.
One more case has been resolved since the December 6th update.
Vaccine priority being organized
Premier Doug Ford says a small number of coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer are expected to arrive in our province next week.
They will be a proportion of the 249-thousand doses that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced will be arriving in Canada.
The first inoculations will be sent to the eight areas of the province under Red-Control or Lockdown status.
Those on the priority list for the first shots are front-line health care workers, staff and residents of long-term care facilities, and adults in First Nation communities.
Ford warns that this is still just a drop in the bucket and we'll have to continue to limit our activities for months yet to come.
More vaccine is expected to arrive next month, with more widely-available supplies beginning in
April.
Travelling and the virus
A new survey shows the need for traditional Christmas contact is more important than the threat of COVID-19 for many.
The Angus Reid poll shows that 30 per cent of Canadians say they'll visit other households in their local communities during the holiday season.
Even more important, ten per cent say they'll likely visit friends and relatives in other communities.
The survey finds that 81 per cent of us are concerned about spreading the coronavirus to loved ones over Christmas.
The urge the travel is greatest among the 19 per cent who aren't concerned.
Going to the cottage
Premier Ford says, if you must travel this holiday season, be prepared to stay in place once you arrive.
Ford say those heading to cottage and secondary residences should shop for supplies at home first, then be ready to stay in place, with only immediate family members, once they arrive.
Health officials are concerned that widespread travel during Christmas could lead to a surge in numbers.

South Africa Launches Digital Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate

South Africa Launches Covid-19 Vaccine Certificate. Photo: iStockPhoto
South Africans can now download their digital COVID-19 vaccination certificate following the official launch by the Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla.
Addressing a media briefing on government's efforts in the fight against COVID-19 and the national vaccination rollout programme on Friday, the Minister said the certificate could be used for travel and tourism, sport and recreation events, music festivals, shops that are providing discounts and prizes for people who are vaccinated. It was developed by the Department of Health and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
"Our role is to make this tool available to the nation to provide people with the proof of vaccination so they can have access to many of the amenities and activities that some have been missing…
"The vaccination certificate was introduced over the last three days while it was in the testing phase but some people have been able to upload it to their cell phones."
The Minister said this is just the first phase of the certificate and there will be further improvements over the following two months with regards to "the safety and security of the certificate". But it is ready for use, he said.
How to download your digital covid-19 vaccination certificate in South Africa
Anyone who has received the COVID-19 vaccine in SA can download the certificate though the web portal.
You will need your:
vaccination code from the sms you received after your vaccination (see more info below)
South African ID or Foreign Passport number or Asylum or Refugee number. This should be the same document that you presented when you got vaccinated and the cell phone you included on your registration.
You can find the digital vaccination certificate HERE.
Over the next four days, the vaccination codes will be sent via SMS. The code can also be accessed from the COVID-19 call centre on 0800 029 999. The code will be sent via sms.
Will other countries recognise South Africa's digital certificate?
Most countries around the globe would accept the certificate. It is, however, dependent on the policy of the country that you would be visiting and also what their verification requirements would be, according to National Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) project manager, Milani Wolmarans.
"Towards the end of the next two months, there will be an app that you can use to download the certificate," Wolmarans said.
Dr Phaahla confirmed that the UK – which yesterday announced that South Africa is getting removed from its Red List on Monday – "will be recognising the certificate that we are launching".

I have now maxed magic find.
I have been salvaging blues and greens for so many years now - I don't know what to do with them now.
Do you continue to salvage them after maxing MF or do you just sell them, or... do I mystic forge them?
Anet, what do you want me to do with these blue green drops, I obviously can't equip them. and even with MF maxed, you aren't dropping me any exotics.
Please anet, recognize the flaw in your game, and fix it. its ok to admit your mistakes.
You keep getting the reward, without the AP. It's only 7.04 silver per 1000 luck, but that's 7.04 silver more than we have ever gotten from excess luck.
8x Red Festival Lantern, which vendor at 0.88 copper each.
Ok, so the consensus is continue to salvage my greens and blues? and save my luck all year, waiting for the new year event to start again?
or is there a better use for greens blues? is that 7.04 silver more than I would get, selling the drops to merchant, saving the cost of salvage and time spent?
Well there are crazy persons like me out there, that keep salvaging and consuming. It doesn't raise your level above 300 but the number gets bigger. And maybe, just maybe one day, ANet will raise the cap and all the luck i consumed will count for something. Until then my reward is not having to delete or even worse, store it.
I think you've misunderstood. You should salvage greens & blues regardless, because (a) it's usually more coin than selling on the TP and (b) even when it's not, it's much, much faster. Sell the mats when you storage is full, for whatever price you can get for them. The luck is not a factor in that decision.
After, you end up with lots of essences of luck. Any character can become an artificer to combine the smaller luck into exotic. I recommend that. This year, Drooburt will take luck (5x exotic) for one reward and that is not only the best it is absolutely the only bulk luck sink that the game has offered.
As to whether you should save luck after LNY ends: that's up to you. If you have the space, sure, no reason not to hoard it. If you lack space, then delete it. It's not that much gold.
I salvage green and blues for the materials, not the magic find. So yes, continue doing that, as it's much faster than any other alternative.
Yeah, I started doing that about 4 months ago because I was sure ANet would never offer any sort of luck sink. Oops, since I also consumed about half the exotic stacks I was tired of storing.
Other than increasing greens, luck is a placebo for the luck you used to be able to put on your gear at launch.
It's much, much better than that, because it was all-but-impossible to gain 300% MF even on a single character, without sacrificing everything else; now, it's trivial to have 200+% covering all your toons.
Ok, so the consensus is continue to salvage my greens and blues?
I don't think that's a wise idea. I recommend selling them at the TP for money. It's what I do (unless you are currently wealthy, then you can try your luck at the Mystic Forge). Charms and symbols are pretty cheap at the TP as well, so not worth salvaging for those, either.
There are more efficient ways to get materials these days, like Volatile Magic.


Opened in December 2015, Cozy Hoian Villas has carved out a cozy corner for itself in a new development area west of the old town.
While there is nothing actually "villa" about it (there are 17 rooms), the rooms are pleasant in its modern design and decor. Plush bed, vanity, flatscreen TV, minibar, WiFi, air-con and balcony are standard to all rooms. Rooms have been jazzed up with floor tiles adorned with patterns, bright cushions, playful lanterns and a small but swish bathroom with tiled shower and a rain showerhead.
They've even managed to squeeze in a small triangular shaped pool, suitable for a cool off and with a few stylish loungers to hang out on. The room rate includes breakfast and bicycle, which you'll want to take advantage of because it is a kilometre's walk along the river to town. Cozy Hoian Villas is tucked down a local lane that runs north off the river road (Nguyen Du). The low season rates are very reasonable for what you get.
Check rates at Cozy Hoian Villas on Booking.com.

Birmingham, in the UKâs west Midlands, receives a mild temperate climate. Mild summers are followed by mild autumns which lead into mild winters that become mild springs. Rainfall levels could be called mild too, all year round. Itâs pretty mild in Birmingham; but then itâs pretty mild all over England. Mild.
Summer begins in mid June and lasts into mid September. In June the average high temperature is 19°C and by the end of the month it can get into the 20s. Mid July sees an average high of 21°C, but that is the pitiful peak of the English summer. It gets back down to 20°C in August and 18°C in September. Night times are cool seeing average lows around 10°C. Summer months can expect around six hours of sunshine per day. Rainfall is moderate as always. However, all of these averages mean little when it comes to fickle British weather. Wonderful mini heat waves in the mid 20s with days of uninterrupted sunshine can be followed by thunderstorms, or the entire summer can trudge along in a muggy grey waste of a season. In recent years there has been little heat or sun and weâre all hoping for a change.
Autumn, from mid September till November, sees the average high temperatures drop from 18°C in September, to 14°C in October and down to 9°C in November. Night times get cold going from jacket weather in October to thick coat weather in November. The sunshine dwindles from four hours per day in September, to two hours in November, as the days shorten and the nights lengthen. Rainfall is moderate. It stays as usual in its amount but becomes insistent in frequency in the form of tedious drizzle.
Winter, from December till the end of eternity (mid March), begins with another cutback on sunshine. December sees a disgraceful one hour of sunshine per day. It is true that the days are shorter and there is less opportunity for the sun to perform, but the main problem is the stubborn nature of the clouds. After December the sun begins to assert itself for an extra hour a day. The average day time high drops to its lowest of 6°C in January and February, which see average lows of 1°C. Surprisingly, rain remains moderate. Frosts are common but snow is disappointingly rare. Again, who knows what will actually happen from moment to moment? Winters can sometimes be blessed with high pressure systems bringing prolonged periods of stunning bright sunshine and crisp air. A weather front from Siberia brought freak cold weather to Britain this year (Feb 2009) and up to a foot of snow in some places, paralysing Birmingham and the rest of the country.
Spring, from mid March till mid June, sees average high temperatures steadily rising from 9°C in March, to 15°C in April and 19°C in May. Night times remain very chilly and it continues to rain moderately whenever it pleases. The sun returns to its peak of six hours per day by the end of the season.
Birminghamâs climate can be attributed to its position on an island in the northern Hemisphere. Cool temperatures are moderated by the sea, which is particularly warm as the island sits in the Gulf Stream, though Birmingham is quite far from the sea and is not as affected as coastal areas. The weatherâs unpredictability can be put down to the confusion of weather fronts that England receives from every direction.
