The Life and Times of John Calvin
T. H. L. Parker
Over the years, various theories have arisen concerning John Calvin's political views. Some have viewed him as a virtual dictator, "the pope of Geneva." Others have felt he was a master of dissimulation who always got his own dictatorial views across by subtle means. Yet others have suggested that he was one of the founders of modern democracy. Which view, if any, is correct?
To understand Calvin's views on political government, one must understand the political context of his day. Democratic forms of government were on the decline. Even those countries which had tended towards more democratic forms of government (e.g., the Estates General in France, Parliament in England and Scotland, and the Imperial Diet in the Holy Roman Empire) were reversing that trend. Democratic institutions still existed, but any power which they possessed had been largely taken away by the absolute monarchs. These rulers sought to imitate and practice the ideas set forth in Niccolo Machiavelli's (1469–1527) famous book, The Prince. Machiavelli advised princes on how to achieve absolute power.
The claims of the worldly princes were challenged by the popes, who viewed themselves as the spiritual rulers of the world. As the representatives of Christ, the popes asserted their right, not only to persecute those who disagreed with the Roman Catholic Church, but even to depose monarchs who refused to obey their orders. (Pius V asserted this right when he decreed that Elizabeth be deposed from the throne of England.) Democracy had few supporters in places of power in the early sixteenth century.
One must also take into account Calvin's own background and training. The son of a Picard lawyer, he was at first destined for the priesthood. But his father, after a conflict with the local bishop, ordered Calvin to leave Paris, where he had been studying, and go to Orleans to study law. It was not long before he heard that one of the innovative humanist lawyers, Andre Alciat from Italy, was teaching at Bourges. While Calvin apparently did not like him personally, he learned much from him, particularly the new ways of studying and analyzing historical legal sources. This fit well with the training which he had already received in Paris, so that Calvin's training prepared him to be both a humanist scholar and a lawyer.
Probably even more important was the fact that, during his studies at Bourges, he seems to have accepted the teachings of the new religious movement which we know as the Reformation. By this time, Luther's teachings had spread widely, even in France. There was also the reforming activity of Ulrich Zwingli in Zurich and the Anabaptists in Switzerland and Germany. Calvin undoubtedly had some knowledge of their beliefs early in his Christian experience. His acquaintance with their views certainly increased as the years passed.
All these various influences entered into Calvin's political thinking, whether he agreed with them or not. Luther thought of the ruler as being supreme over the church in all such worldly matters as property and even organization, but he insisted that this authority stopped at the foot of the pulpit. Zwingli, on the other hand, allowed the civil ruler nearly total control over the church. In contrast to all, the Anabaptists would have nothing to do with the civil authorities. The responsibilities of the civil government, the Anabaptist said, were limited to non-Christians. True Christians did not require civil supervision, since they already obeyed God's law. By the time the first edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion appeared in 1536, Calvin had considerable knowledge of these varying views, as well as those of classical writers such as Seneca and Cicero. He also probably knew the works of Jean de Terre Rouge (c. 1418) and Claude de Seyssel (c. 1519), who had written works stressing the limitations of royal absolutism.
Ultimate Authority
Yet, with all these various influences upon him and the social context of his own day, there was one ultimate authority to which he adhered above all others: the Bible, the Word of God. From the time of his conversion, this was basic to Calvin's thinking. The oracles of God possessed ultimate authority over man, because God is sovereign over all creation. This theme of the sovereignty of God appears repeatedly in Calvin's whole system of thought. True, man might not understand everything in the Scriptures or in God's purpose, for "the secret things belong to God" (Deut. 29:29), but what God has revealed must form the basis and the structure of the Christian's thinking.
To Calvin, this meant that there was very clearly a Christian-biblical world-and-life view which encompassed all phases of life—not just religion, but science, economics, and politics. In treating the subject of politics, he was prepared to look to the classical writers and the humanists of his own day, since he believed that even the non-Christian had implanted within him, by the grace of God, a sense of justice and equity. However, the ultimate authority for his political ideology was the Bible. There God had declared what the political state was to be like and how it was to function.
According to Calvin, the church has a role to play with regard to the state. The church is responsible, Calvin believed, to set forth the biblical teaching concerning the state and its function. Yet, and this is basic to Calvin's thought, the church is not to rule the state. Calvin believed in a theocracy, not an ecclesiocracy. Both the rulers of the church and the civil magistrates are directly responsible to God for their actions, but they do not rule over each other. The church may admonish the magistrate as to what God's law says, but cannot determine how that law is to be applied in matters of civil jurisdiction. The magistrate may advise the church concerning matters relating to civil affairs, but cannot force the church to conform to civil rules in its teachings, worship, or government. In this, Calvin laid down very clearly the principle of the separation of the functions of church and state. They are related and mutually supportive, but also independent of each other. This means, if the state attempts to interfere in the operation of the church or seeks to restrict its spiritual work, the church has the right and duty to disobey, although it will have to suffer the consequences of such disobedience.
At the same time, Calvin believed that the church's form of government was to be fundamentally democratic. In this way it served as a pattern for the state to imitate. He did not believe that ministers and other church officials should be imposed on the church by the civil government or by a small group of wealthy or aristocratic individuals. Instead, he believed that ministers, elders, and deacons should be appointed by the people of the church as a whole.
Those who wanted to become ministers were first examined by the consistory, made up of ministers and elders of the churches, as to their morals and knowledge of the biblical teachings and their ability to serve as pastors. When approved, they were then presented to the city council, who would be responsible for their financial support. Finally, they were presented to the people, who had the right either to accept or reject them. The congregation as a whole thus had the final say as to who would be the minister. These procedures, as set forth in the Ecclesiastical Ordinances, undoubtedly influenced the civil government in Geneva.
The Magistrate and the Law
Calvin held the magistrate in high honor. In fact, he insisted that being a magistrate was the most important calling anyone could receive. The state was created by God to maintain peace and equity in a sinful world. The state, however, does not have the freedom to do as it pleases, for it is under the rule of God's law.
Divine law is the basis of the church's administration, but this law is also the foundation of the state. This is true even of a state which has no Christian instruction. Even the unregenerate have implanted in their hearts and minds a knowledge of justice and equity by which society is governed. To Calvin, this natural law is the foundation for all political government.
This immediately raises the question of who is to govern. To Calvin, a ruler, whether an individual or a body made up of a number of individuals, is a necessity. Without someone to guide and direct the enacting and enforcing of laws, a society simply falls into anarchy. However, that ruler is ultimately appointed in and by the providence of God. Calvin did not favor the idea of succession by right of birth. Rather, he believed free election was the best method of establishing a ruler. He did not, however, declare that all non-elected rulers were illegitimate. But he did hold that election by the citizenry was the means whereby God would choose the individuals most suitable for the exalted position of magistrate.
What then is the proper relation of the magistrate to the law? Is the ruler above or under the law? Calvin held that the ruler is under divine law in his relation to the sovereign God. But in relation to the citizens, his subjects, the magistrate is the personification of law. This does not, however, free the ruler to rule as he pleases. The laws which are enacted must be equitable and enforced equitably. This means the ruler is to rule for God and for the people. The ruler, whether an individual or a parliament, must seek to benefit, protect, and sustain the people. The establishment of poor relief, hospitals, and similar social agencies in Geneva had its source in this concept.
At the same time, the people are to obey the ruler, not merely because of social benefits, but because they are obeying the authority which God has established over them. Only if they are commanded to do that which is contrary to God's revealed will are they obliged to disobey the law.
Covenant and Rebellion
At the base of this concept of the relation of ruler and ruled was Calvin's covenant idea. He held that there was in reality a covenant between the people and the ruler (even if the latter succeeded to the position of ruler by the right of birth). Therefore, there was mutual responsibility.
In a truly Christian government, there is also a covenant between God and his subjects. This, of course, was based upon the Old Testament concept of government in which Israel was the covenant people under such rulers as David and Solomon. To Calvin, this covenant relation in the New Testament dispensation was no longer limited to Israel, but should characterize all states claiming to be Christian.
Here we come upon one of the ideas which seems to have undergone development in Calvin's thought. Many of the rulers of his day were tyrannically exercising their authority over their people. This was particularly noticeable in the matter of religion. Persecution of Protestants was usually instigated by the clergy, but carried out by the civil authorities. In his Epistle Dedicatory to the first edition of the Institutes, Calvin called upon Francis I of France to stop attacks on and executions of Protestants. As a result of such royal oppression, the Genevan reformer increasingly felt that hereditary monarchy could only lead to tyranny. So he opposed it. Yet, bad as tyranny might be, Calvin considered it better than anarchy, where total lack of order could only lead to the collapse of society. Christians, therefore, must submit to tyrants and obey them, for they were sent by God as punishment for sins or as a providential means of training. Only when the tyrants commanded that which was contrary to God's revealed will could Christians disobey.
What about the possibility of rebellion? At first, Calvin was absolutely opposed to any such action. But it seems that he gradually became more reconciled to the idea of anti-tyrannical action. However, he felt such action could never be taken by an ordinary citizen. Only those who hold public office have the right to resist the ruler. This view was expressed in his first edition of the Institutes and repeated in all the later editions.
However, in some of his commentaries, he seems to gave gone further, even accepting the idea of the right of the inferior magistrates to remove a tyrannical, persecuting monarch. In taking this position, he was clearly laying the groundwork for possible revolutionary action, not only by Protestants who were under persecution, but by all those who were oppressed by a tyrannical, dictatorial government.
Thus, in summary, as we look at Calvin's political ideas, we see the enunciation of the basis for democratic government. In his thinking, all society is subject to the sovereign God and therefore to his law, whether expressed in the Old Testament and set forth by the church or in the sense of justice and equity given to all men. To achieve this end, God establishes states ruled by magistrates who have the duty of enforcing the divine laws in order to maintain justice and equity. Calvin believed, however, that magistrates who are elected are more likely to rule justly than those who take control by inheritance or force. Furthermore, the tyrannical heredity ruler, as well as the one who illegally seized power, could be resisted even to the point of removal by the duly constituted magistrates of the realm. Here was a political philosophy which was to have a major impact on the western world over the next few centuries.
Geneva and Beyond
To get a glimpse of Calvin's influence on political thinking in his own day, we must turn first of all to the city of Geneva, in which he lived. He undoubtedly wielded considerable influence on the codification of Geneva's laws, as he was the secretary of the committee appointed to put the laws into a proper form. During the years following 1542, when the laws were codified, he also exerted no little personal influence on the governing bodies of the city.
From Geneva, his influence spread far and wide. His writings, including his biblical commentaries, pamphlets, and above all the various editions of his Institutes, were read and studied widely, even by those who did not agree with him. Then, too, Geneva offered shelter to a great number of religious refugees from many countries: France, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain. Many of these refugees eventually returned to their own countries, carrying with them Calvin's theological and political ideas. Once the university was established in 1559 in Geneva, others came to study there, usually returning home having drunk at the Calvinistic fountain.
The outcome of this was that Calvin's political ideas became the standard view among those who accepted his theological teachings. It is not surprising, therefore, to find his French followers setting forth a political concept which would undermine the absolutism of the French monarchy. Francois Hotman, Hubert Languet, and Philip du Plessis-Mornay propagated his views vigorously and effectively. In Holland, Calvin's teaching seems to have been at the root of the Dutch resistance to Spanish dominion, which resulted in the establishment of an independent kingdom of the Netherlands. And, if one looks across the English Channel, one finds Calvin's influence equally strong. While still refugees in Geneva, John Ponet and Christopher Goodman produced works setting forth radical democratic ideas which fit with Calvin's political teachings.
Perhaps the most thoroughgoing Calvinist, who took the teacher's ideas to their logical conclusions, was the Scot, John Knox. Knox set forth his views in a number of pamphlets, the best known being The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, published in Geneva in 1557. Calvin disapproved of it, although it was approved by others. Knox's views were adopted by George Buchanan, another Scot, who was the tutor of James VI (Later James I) of England. Out of Calvin's influence on the British Isles rose the English Puritans and the Scottish Convenanters of the following century.
As we look back, then, at Calvin's political thought, we can see that he not only set forth ideas which exercised a powerful influence for democracy in his own day, but also that his ideas had a broad influence on subsequent political thinking in the western world. Although the theological connection which he made between politics and Christianity has largely disappeared, he can still be regarded as one of the fathers of modern democracy.

Q: Running a windows service in a console What is the best way to run a windows service as a console?
My current idea is to pass in an "/exe" argument and do the work of the windows service, then calling Application.Run().
The reason I'm doing this is to better debug a windows service and allow easier profiling of the code.  The service is basically hosting .NET remoted objects.

A: This is how I do it. Give me the same .exe for console app and service. To start as a console app it needs a command line parameter of -c.
private static ManualResetEvent m_daemonUp = new ManualResetEvent(false);

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    bool isConsole = false;

    if (args != null && args.Length == 1 && args[0].StartsWith("-c")) {
        isConsole = true;
        Console.WriteLine("Daemon starting");

        MyDaemon daemon = new MyDaemon();

        Thread daemonThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(daemon.Start));
        daemonThread.Start();
        m_daemonUp.WaitOne();
    }
    else {
        System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
        ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] { new Service() };
        System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
    }
}

A: The Code Project site had a great article showing how to run a Windows Service in the Visual Studio debugger, no console app needed.

Director of Alumni Engagement Kelly Holdcraft spoke about possible new initiatives to connect with alumni through career-based initiatives at the Board of Visitors' Committee on Alumni Relations meeting Thursday.
She explained to the committee the need to engage with alumni on a professional level, especially through services that allow the Alumni Association to connect with alumni online.
The possible new website will help connect College alumni who serve as vetted career coaches with other alumni and students, similar to a program used at Duke University. The coaches would be selected from different fields of work. As part of the service, the coaches would offer other alumni from the College a discounted price for their services.
In addition to this new career-coaching program, the website would allow the Alumni Association to host a series of webinars about various careers. The webinars would include small Google+ hangout sessions where alumni and students taking the courses will have a chance to talk with one another in a smaller setting that reflects the small class sizes that the College prides itself on maintaining.
The committee also emphasized other outreach efforts by Alumni Relations. This year, the group plans to coordinate and host 22 Yule Log ceremonies all over the country so that alumni can still participate in the campus tradition. They plan to continue spreading campus traditions by sending out "parties-in-a-box" to alumni chapters to celebrate Charter Day.
Earlier this year, the group also hosted ten Homecoming Game watch parties around the world, including a watch party in London.


This cunning page will take you to two newspapers - The Guardian and The Observer Electronic Editions. If you read their text below, you'll find plenty more text after you've followed the link!
The Guardian newspaper, of which Guardian Unlimited is its online presence, was founded in 1821 and has a long history of editorial and political independence.
A newspaper's primary office is the gathering of news. At the peril of its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted.
As befits the oldest Sunday newspaper in the world, the history of the Observer is a volatile and varied one. The paper was founded in 1791 by WS Bourne on the simple premise that "the establishment of a Sunday newspaper would obtain him a rapid fortune"; within three years Bourne found himself £1,600 in debt.
The current editor of the paper is Roger Alton, who was appointed in 1998. In January 1999 the paper launched three new sections: Cash, Screen and Escape, covering Personal Finance, Film and TV, and travel respectively.
The Observer is Britain's oldest Sunday newspaper and it has been making mischief, poking its nose where it shouldn't and reporting the best in arts, culture, politics, sport, business and skulduggery for over two hundred years. We aim to keep it that way and maintain its position as Britain's most exciting Sunday newspaper"

Comporta, Portugal
On the Portuguese coast, an hour north of Lisbon, is what began as the owners' vision of a humble meeting place for visitors. What appears today is more of a modern glass palace on the edge of the ocean, a rambling series of outdoor patios, guest rooms and private villas with their own swimming pools and grills. Design and amenities throughout are ecologically inspired, including the spa. The kitchen and daily tasting menus are inventions of the onsite vegetable garden and sustainably cultivated local seafood, produce, and game. Within the superb architecture, views, and offerings, there's a space to fully immerse in relaxation that can't be taken for granted.

Staying in a classic Irish castle for at least one night is as essential to your Irish bucket list as drinking a pint of Guinness and getting stuck behind sheep-traffic on a winding back road. For a taste of classic Irish luxury and hospitality, and a heavy dose of fairytale feels, stay at Ashford Castle on the border of Galway and Mayo in the beautiful west of Ireland. What exactly produces those fairytale feels? A stunning take-your-breath-away setting of this moated medieval-cum-Victorian castle on 350 acres of lush green woodlands hugging Lough Corrib. Pristine, personal service that has been refined and perfected on Ashford's countless celebrity and dignitary guests. A recent and loving restoration that married the castle's character and charm with all the expected modern comforts and technology. A private cinema, formal dining room, elegant rooms, and high-end spa, as well as onsite amenities that include everything from archery and falconry to zip-lining and golf. And finally–there's that authentic warmth and charm which is delivered with every interaction, be it your barman, your local guide, or those two giant wolfhounds who take you for a morning walk in the woods.

Four Seasons Moscow
Literally dripping with diamonds (there's a jewelry store in the lobby with display cases scattered throughout), the Four Seasons Moscow is everything you could ever dream of in a luxurious Russian hotel—shiny marble walls and floors, oversized chandeliers, rooms the size of a large apartment, and one of the most over-the-top urban spas in the world. While luxury chain hotels can sometimes feel a bit stuffy and corporate, the Four Seasons Moscow is anything but—it's dynamic, sexy, and right in the middle of it all, just steps away from the Kremlin, the Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the literal center of the city. Just don't forget your fur coat.
There are few hotels that rise to the description of legend, but the Adlon Kempinski manages to not only live up to its legacy, but to surpass it. Ever since it first opened next to the Brandenburg Gate in 1907, it has been a center point for a nation and a spotlight for culture. It has hosted state-visits from the last Tsar of Russia to President Barack Obama. It's where a fictional Sally Bowles went to meet her father, where Greta Garbo told the world she wanted to be alone, where Michael Jackson infamously dangled a baby out a window. And though it was destroyed in World War II, it has been lovingly restored to its former splendor down to the reconstructed elephant fountain in the lobby bar, a replica of the one the Maharaja of Patiala gifted to the property in 1930. But beyond its lore is everything that makes a grand hotel grander: divine elegance, supreme comfort, and a staff that is both refined and kind.

Super Splurge
Le Meurice
One could award Le Meurice five stars solely based on location—in the First Arrondissement, directly across from the Tuileries Garden, and minutes from the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre—but of course there is much more to it. This palace has hosted artists, royalty, and luxury-seeking visitors alike since 1815 (Dali lived here for years), and today shrouds guests in over-the-top, decadent plein de vie details in a Louis XVI style: crystal chandeliers, gilded panelling and gold crown molding, sky-high murals, and a two Michelin-star restaurant. Though you have your pick of walking-distance gourmet restaurants, making time for cocktails, afternoon tea, or brunch is a must here.
Mama Shelter Prague
Within minutes of arriving in Prague's Mama Shelter hotel you will be feeling the love. "Mama Loves You!" and "Come to Mama!" are displayed in the slick lobby. The personal message on the full-length mirror in your cool, compact, well-designed bedroom echoes this sentiment as does the "Mama loves you from head to toe" message on the organic body cream in your modern bathroom. There's much to love back: the wildly colorful murals and rugs throughout; quirky design touches like cartoon masks on the bedside lamps, tables fashioned from stacks of books, and whimsical furnishings; wallpapered elevators; vintage video games in the lobby (and, um, free porn in the rooms); and those red-tile roof views of one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Add an excellent restaurant, lively bar, and outdoor terrace all designed to encourage lingering and socializing; a warm, personable staff who insist you try the goulash (and rightly so) and recommend nearby boutiques and galleries; and a location in an up-and-coming neighborhood just a short tram ride to the heart of Prague and all its top attractions. This hotel manages to be both luxurious and affordable, which is almost as much of an accomplishment as its ability to be both authentically warm and authentically cool.

Designer Dream
The Mandrake
Earlier this year, we called the Mandrake Hotel the "most mysteriously magical hotel in all of London." And we absolutely stand by that statement. This is a house of mysticism and charm and it's apparent from the moment you arrive through its nondescript entry, as though crawling through the rabbit hole, that you're in a whole new world. Here you'll find multi-storied gardens, paintings that are perhaps conjured from an ayahuasca fever dream, and a spa where relaxation comes not from touch but from singing bowls. The guest rooms are uniquely and superbly decorated—some have the refined taste of an English drawing room or a modernist New York brownstone, while others are so gloriously bonkers that you'll feel as though you're in the fits of a hallucination within a Parisian bordello. The Mandrake is a hotel that will calm your body, wake your mind, and sustain your spirit.

New Hotel
A lot can go wrong at a modern-designed hotel—all too often privacy and comfort are forsaken for style (not even the closest of couples want a window from their bedroom to their bathroom). But that's not the case here, not at the New Hotel. Though it's incredibly well-designed, even romantic—from the dining spaces to the guest rooms—it's an exceptionally relaxing hotel. Even the perfume of the lobby manages to supply an olfactory serenity, which is a welcome treat after a long flight to Athens. The rooms are quirky, somewhat whimsical, but will easily bring about a smile. And the bathrooms, which are spacious and beautiful, are compartmentalized to allow as much or as little concealment between you and your sweetheart.
Pädaste Manor
Padaste Manor
Muhu Island, Estonia
On an island off the coast of Estonia is this special little estate, surrounded by views of bays, inlets, and the coastal marshes of the Baltic Sea. The old stone manor today—full of sheepskin rugs, oversized windows, and fireplaces—resembles the low-key country home of Estonian royalty. Guest rooms are in the main manor and private farm or carriage houses. At the Alexander restaurant, you'll find fresh baked bread, homegrown vegetables, and Nordic Island's cuisine garnished with foraged flowers and plants. Activities encourage exploring the incredible area, especially known for rare orchids, with birdwatching, helicopter rides, cultural tours, golfing, and spa treatments.

Relais La Suvera
Pievescola, Italy
Not far from Siena, in the middle of Tuscany stands the old, crumbling palace of Pope Julius II. It was built as a fortress in the 12th century before its papal upgrade, and in 1990 made into a hotel by Marquis Ricci and his wife, Princess Eleanora Massimo, both of whom live on the grounds. To be fair, it is a very odd property—ancient statues, family heirlooms, and the shadows of history are around every bend—and will not conform to everyone's taste (we even called it the spookiest luxury hotel in the world). And though it's possible for it to be outside of one's taste—it lacks some of the amenities of modern comfort—for those who embrace its old-world charms, it will be impossible to merely like it, but rather, fall hopelessly under its haunting spell. Its unique yesteryear elegance is what ultimately elevates it as a superb luxury hotel.

Retreat at Blue Lagoon
Keflavik, Iceland
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most visited and beloved attractions, conveniently situated between Reykjavik and Keflavik International Airport, making it an easy stop between the two destinations. But now, with the opening of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon, visitors can make the extraordinary location homebase and indulge in the holistic spa experience as much as they like. And with one-of-a-kind amenities like geothermal seawater; lava canyons; natural beauty products like silica, algae, mud, and clay masks; and a mineral-rich waterscape at your doorstep, your health and wellness are sure to positively benefit from your stay.

Remote Retreat
Rooms Kazbegi
Stepantsminda, Georgia
This remote, '60s-era boutique hotel in the Khevi province of Georgia is set against a backdrop of Mount Kazbek. The town at the hotel's base is still developing, which belies the grandness of the rustic-chic ski lodge that you'll find farther up the mountain. During Soviet times it was a haunt for government officials, as well as a sports base. Minimal yet cozy guest rooms have balconies that look out onto the sublime natural surroundings. On the lower level is a 30-foot heated indoor swimming pool with floor to ceiling windows revealing views of the icy mountain range; upstairs you'll find an open dining room serving traditional Georgian cuisine, a sprawling terrace where you can wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy wine under the stars, and a very small casino.

Menorca, Spain
This Menorcan farm-turned-chic-hotel is a sleek, sophisticated blend of the historic and modern, with beige and white interior colors surrounded by whitewashed and original stone walls. High quality of care and design here match a location rich in heritage and natural beauty. The outdoor patios, great lawn and pool deck stretch out among arid farmland, native plants and flowers, and the azure of the sky and sea. On a hill surrounded by vineyards (but close to Menorca's best beaches), rooms with private patios look out to the Mediterranean Sea. Local wine is plentiful, and cuisine make the most of Menorcan flavors, utilizing the parilla and access to fresh, local seafood.
Treehotel
Harads, Sweden
In a little village by the Lule River and high among the forest pines, you'll find an enchanting series of floating abodes: among them, a wooden cabin, bird's nest, UFO, and modern glass-panelled cube. Treehouse quarters are relatively small, of course, but necessities like bedding don't lack in comfort and ease. The kitchen, making dishes out of foraged forest berries and locally caught fish and game, prides itself on expressing the uniqueness of the magical area. Activities range from your favorite regular outdoor pleasures (hiking, biking, fishing, and moose-gazing) to the extra special (horse-pulled skiing, dog sled rides, ice dining, and a treehouse steambath).
Villa d'Este
Lake Como, Italy
Villa D'Este is the setting of a fairytale, starring you. One of Italy's most exclusive hotels, it's an improbably gorgeous hotel, filled with priceless artworks in gilded frames, sumptuously over-the-top fabrics, luxurious marble bathrooms, and the famous floating swimming pool built into a dock on Lake Como. The views here are stunning, with glassy Lake Como visible at every turn, and lush green mountains sloping into the sea. And while this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Europe, that's not the only reason to visit. Villa D'Este is a hotel like no other, where service goes above and beyond—when you're here, you're royalty.

The year 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and a year-long celebration is being planned. The activities will include the 2015 National ADA Symposium that will be held in Atlanta on May 10th, 2015, and the 28th Annual Meeting of the Society for Disability Studies, to be held in Atlanta on June 10th. There will also be a nationwide "rolling" celebration, the ADA Legacy Tour.

(COVINGTON, La.) Two members of the St. Paul's lacrosse team have created a charity drive this year in remembrance of Graham Jordan. Jordan was an Honor graduate of St. Paul's in 2014 and a prominent member of the St. Paul's Lacrosse Wolves; however, Graham tragically passed away last year on Jan. 29, 2017.
Jordan's untimely passing was a dreadful surprise for St. Paul's last year that greatly affected the St. Paul's lacrosse community due to both his five years on the team and his character legacy.
Two members of the current St. Paul's lacrosse team, Hyde Healy and Michael Philippe, have taken on a special charity project called "Goals for Graham" in his memory.
The Goals for Graham charity's proceeds go directly to the Graham Jordan Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was set up by Jordan's family after his passing last year and is given to a rising senior (not necessarily a lacrosse player) who best lives out the values exhibited by Jordan during his lifetime. Last year, current senior Hanson Stuckey received the award.
One surprising aspect of the charity project is the fact that the two juniors who started it had never even met Jordan.
The Goals for Graham charity project allows donors to donate in two distinct manners: either with a single one-time donation, or by pledging a certain amount of money for each goal the varsity lacrosse team scores this season.
The Lacrosse team has implemented other ways to remember and continue Jordan's legacy in addition to the charity drive.
In addition, the team has ordered stickers commemorating Jordan that will be placed on team members' helmets this season.
For more information on Goals for Graham, Healy and Philippe also produced a short film, edited together by St. Paul's seniors Brandon Gallego and Joel Fernandes, which can be viewed below.
Ongoing campaign information will be available throughout the lacrosse season on the Goals for Graham Twitter page.


Hi everyone. Had the operation mid last year but recently bum has been sore so I called 111 and had to go to see a doctor at primary center the doctor examined me , said you have a nasty skin infection of the bum said we can go two ways I send you home with antibiotics or you will need a stay giving you a drip in the vein. But said call back if it gets worse.
Last night the junk that came out woke me up at 5am and the smell awful.
Tried to get to speak to him cannot do so rang go for house call hopefully he will send me back to hospital direct to ambulatory ward rather than faff about.
Thank god it's a nice day washing out very early this morning.
Hope you manage to get things sorted @george1960 . Thinking of you.
Thinking of you @george1960. This nasty infection needs to be treated and antibiotics intravenously would hit it hardest and quickest I expect. Rotten for you, I'm sorry, HUGS!
Sorry to hear about this @george1960. I think I would go for the intravenous antibiotics too (as @Gypsy says).
Oh gosh @george1960, this sounds pretty horrible for you! I would think a little spell in hospital on iv antibiotics would be a good way forward and also an opportunity for the nurses to directly observe and to dress the area appropriately. You mentioned in your post, the doctor said to call back if it got worse? Perhaps give him a call or leave a message for him?
Thanks all taken into hospital yesterday, minor operation to follow soon.
I'm sure they'll get you sorted out!
Let us know how things go if you can?
It's one of those thing that happen sometimes to People usually to me. If a cold will go around I will get flu or anaemia. Went all my life without getting chicken pox but at the age 33 my wonderful handsome nephew I got chicken pox and shingles directly after Brilliant wouldn't change a day. xxxx love em all to bits and more.
Best of luck @george1960. I wish you well and quickly too!!!

Scaling Up 2021: 'a clear but challenging path' ahead for Canada's bioeconomy
November 17, 2021 By Ellen Cools
While global leaders met at COP26 to discuss new regulations and agreements, another event was happening at the same time: the annual Scaling Up Bioeconomy conference.
This year's conference took place virtually from Nov. 2-3, 2021, and saw over 400 people attend from around the world. As host Jeff Passmore, founder and chair of Scaling Up, said, "It's almost a mini UN COP conference here."
Yet unlike COP26, Scaling Up had a much narrower focus. The theme this year was, "Delivering on Canada's $2 trillion Industrial Bioeconomy Market," a figure which comes from a 2020 report by the McKinsey Global Institute.
"In my view, there's no reason why Canada cannot capture 10 per cent of that $2 trillion market," Passmore said in his opening remarks, referring to the vast amount of wood products, agriculture and other biomass resources in the country.
However, as speakers at the event explained, for this to happen the bioeconomy needs both regulatory and business support. It's also critical that the public better understand the bioeconomy and its potential impact on climate change.
Chris Henderson, president of Lumos Energy and founding executive director of Indigenous Clean Energy, kicked off the conference with a look at the catalysts required to accelerate the development of Canada's bioeconomy.
According to Henderson, there are three catalysts: social relevance, market synergy and interconnected relationships. The first is particularly important in order to get public buy-in.
"We often hear about technology, rather than the social impacts and values," Henderson said. "But, that has to be the business case you start with."
When Indigenous Clean Energy was created, Henderson and his team focused on local Indigenous communities and how the bioeconomy could help them. Fifteen years ago, there were almost no Indigenous communities that owned or co-owned energy projects.
"Today, Indigenous people own or co-own almost 20 per cent of Canada's electricity-generating structure, virtually all renewable," he shared. This is largely because they got local buy-in.
"I think the first thing anyone should be talking about in the bioeconomy, especially the industrial bioeconomy, is what it means for society," Henderson continued.
"If you're not socially relevant, you will not get the policy change and market dynamics you need."
Market synergy is another catalyst the industry needs to focus on, with an emphasis on the industrial bioeconomy's intersection with carbon pricing and commoditizing the value of the bioeconomy, Henderson explained.
Finally, industry needs to focus on elevating and expanding relationships.
"We can't be fragmented – it's keeping people from understanding what the market is about," he said. "We need to focus on building relationships at elevation – not dealing with the technical side of things at the project level, but focusing on the relationships that build the market."

Driving biofuel demand
Those sentiments were echoed by the next speaker, Ralph Torrie, president of Torrie Smith & Associates and climate change advisor and director of research at Corporate Knights, who spoke on the future role of bioenergy.
There are opportunities throughout the energy system to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with electrification emerging as a central pillar of decarbonization. However, this means that while the bioenergy market is forecasted to grow, it's typically only seen as the go-to-source when electrification is not possible, Torrie explained.
Technology advancements also mean that electrification is possible in more markets than previously believed. Consequently, "successful policies and business strategies for bioenergy are going to be those that explore these trends," Torrie said.
"If you're planning a business strategy or public policy for bioenergy, you need to be considering these complex and widespread dynamics," he concluded.

The next speaker, Brian Foody, CEO of Iogen Corp., agreed that there will be significant investments in electrification in order to reach net-zero by 2050. But, biofuel also has a role to play in reaching net-zero, with low-carbon fuels projected to be three per cent of the total investment to reach net-zero in the U.S. – equal to about $70 billion, he said.
"This is only the beginning," he continued. "By 2050, low-carbon fuels are going to need to power what can't be electrified."
It's widely expected that aviation, shipping, long-haul trucking, etc., will be powered by biofuels, he said.
"So, when we look at net-zero, low-carbon fuels paired with carbon capture will need to provide the same CO2 reduction as electrification."
That will result in a roughly $1 trillion fuel market with three major fuel types: drop-in fuels, renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen. Bioenergy-based fuels will have a particularly important role to play because, when paired with carbon capture and storage (CCS), CO2 can actually be removed from the atmosphere, Foody added.
According to Foody, there are four requirements that companies looking to manufacture net-zero fuels need to meet:
Be scalable
Have a zero-carbon or negative-carbon footprint
Be net-zero compatible
Be practical and cost-effective.
Biomass-based fuels such as RNG, cellulosic ethanol, and gasification offer the best hope for this. However, only RNG has been proven to be practical and cost-effective thus far, Foody said.
"RNG owns the landscape for cellulosic biofuels in the U.S., with annual revenues of about $2 billion and 30 per cent year over year growth under the RFS [renewable fuel standard]," Foody explained.
Most RNG is produced in landfills, but there is a looming shortage of large, easily accessible landfill gas in the U.S., which will limit the market, Foody cautioned.
This can be overcome by using "stranded" biogas supplies and agricultural residues, he said. On the market side, the advent of renewable hydrogen as a transportation fuel will also allow for the substantial growth of RNG.
"The net result is that bioenergy has a clear but challenging path to delivering the carbon-negative fuels needed to reach net-zero," Foody said. "Public policy will play a critical role to ensuring the investment capital is there to enable the production of net-zero fuels."
In Canada, this means the deployment of the Clean Fuel Standard (CFS), he said.

Restructuring the CFS
Speaking of the CFS, Ian Thomson, president of Advanced Biofuels Canada, gave an overview of the CFS and the changes needed to make the draft policy framework viable.
In its current format, the regulation is "unlikely to lead to significant uptake of fuels critical to our 2030 nationally defined contribution and our net-zero 2050 targets," Thomson said.
Under the current draft design, the CFS requires fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of fuels they put on the market by 12 grams CO2e MJ between 2022 and 2030, he explained. The CFS has three compliance categories: CC1, which focuses on cleaner fossil fuels; CC2, which focuses on using low-carbon intensive (CI) fuels; and CC3 for selective end-use fueling.
The first draft of the CFS that has been released focuses on transportation fuels. But, there are a number of problems with it.
For example, as a holdover from previous designs, up to 10 per cent of a fuel supplier's annual obligations can be met by reducing the CI of solid and gaseous fuels that don't need to be associated with transportation – a flexibility not found in other clean fuel standards, Thomson explained.
Additionally, crude oil, gas and diesel, when exported, could be used as credits for compliance – "an absolute no-no in all other clean fuel regulations," he shared. This will contribute to fossil fuel lock-in, whereby policies, or in some cases, the lack of them, make Canada more reliant on fossil fuels. Actions taken to meet provincial regulations will also count towards CFS compliance.
These and other "flexibilities" mean that the CFS currently operates more like a cleaner fossil fuel standard, and will be misaligned with the clean fuel standards in California, B.C., Oregon and the EU, he said. They also "raise the risk of potential investors looking to add substantial new capacity in non-fossil fuel production in Canada."
In order to address these issues, Advanced Biofuels Canada has proposed a solution: to implement a "net-zero guardrail," which calls for compliance credit utilization to mirror the lifecycle of fuels, Thomson explained.
Under this solution, CC1 compliance, including the flexibilities mentioned above, would remain, but would be capped at 24 per cent. If an obligated party fails to meet that guardrail, CC2 and CC3 would be required.

De-risking investment
Much of the conference also focused on how to attract investment for new bio-based products and manufacturing plants, accelerate the bioeconomy and de-risk investment.
Jordan Solomon, president and CEO of Ecostrat, gave attendees an update on Ecostrat's BDO Zone Initiative, which aims to help accelerate and de-risk bio-based investment and infrastructure development in rural communities.
"This is an interconnected economic development network to get plants built faster, regardless of whether they make biofuels, biogas, clean power, etc.," Solomon explained. "It drives those plants to distressed communities around the country where the jobs have an impact on the community, like places where we've lost pulp and paper plants.
"So, by 2030, we can help create 16,000 new clean energy jobs, inject $1.4 billion in communities and reduce net GHG emissions by two per cent," he continued. "It's a move-the-needle type initiative – two per cent is the equivalent of removing 18 per cent of all cars off Canadian roads. It's a big leap to help catalyze bioenergy development and improve infrastructure in our country."
According to Solomon, of the three risks associated with building new bio-based manufacturing plants – market risk, technology risk and feedstock risk – feedstock risk is the only non-hedgeable risk over the long-term.
"It's a fact that feedstock risk is, in terms of bio-project finance, a massive barrier," he said. "So, if we want to catalyze the bio-based economy, we need to solve for feedstock risk."
When it comes to feedstock risk, investors want to know whether the feedstock can be obtained reliably, if the technology is readily available and the price of the feedstock is stable. If there's a question about feedstock risk, financing new plants becomes difficult and expensive.
Consequently, people spend a lot of time finding the optimal place to build plants near credible feedstock sources. But, the BDO Zone Initiative removes the need to find an optimal place by providing a credit-type rating for specific areas. This allows investors and developers to locate the lowest-risk areas from a feedstock point-of-view and develop new plants there.
As part of this initiative, municipalities looking for investors to develop bio-based plants will nominate zones to be rated for feedstock risk.
Ratings provide something these municipalities previously lacked – "the means to stand out from the crowd and leverage their biomass feedstocks," Solomon explained.

So far, four BDO Zones have been created, including one in Melville, Sask., which is A-rated for wheat straw. The City of Melville has already seen the benefits of this initiative – within five months of receiving their A-rating, they saw a 750 per cent increase in calls from bio-based developers, Solomon shared.
The BDO Zone Initiative also helps project developers distinguish areas based on feedstock risk. Developers in these areas will also have access to $1 billion in capital from the BDO Zone Investment Coalition.
On top of this, at the end of October, Ecostrat announced the BDO ZoneCONNECT platform, in partnership with The Digest, which will show project developers, feedstock providers and partners the latest BDO Zones.
"We expect this will drive enormous deal flow and make the phones ring," Solomon said.
The Scaling Up conference will return to Ottawa for an in-person event from Nov. 14-16, with the theme, "Pressing Forward: Replacing Hydrocarbons with Carbohydrates and Beyond."

Hilarious Dad Embarrasses Son With A Fabulous New Costume Each Day!
We all know it's our parents job (especially when we're younger) to annoy and embarrass us as much as possible..and in the grand scheme of things, it's only giving us ideas for when we have our own kids and wish to embarrass them (even though, we always SWEAR that we won't turn out like our parents!) it's the circle of life.
But one awesome Dad called Dale Price has decided to go a bit 'extra' when thinking up ways to embarrass his son!
Said Son, Rain, was just beginning his sophomore year of high school, and he was already sick of Dad waving him goodbye, as he boarded the school bus each morning. So, Rain asked his mom, Rochelle, to intervene. But Dale overheard, and the next morning, he obviously took onboard everything Rain was concerned about…because, he said goodbye dressed like a blushing bride!
Beautiful! I think you'll agree.
As you can imagine, this went down to storm with his son (not!) but that only made Dale more determined, and for the rest of the school year, Dad made sure he said au revoir to Rain in a different costume each day!
& The results, as you will soon see…were completely hilarious!
Oh my, I can imagine that this one, in particular, gave poor Rain a red face! No one really wants to see someone on the loo first thing in the morning, especially your father!
Wait…you forgot to brush your teeth! Dang it!
Looks like Dale is big on self-care in a morning! Loving the plastic hair net. it gives it that little bit more of the embarrassment factor! It's all about the little things!
3. That's one way to scare the bullies off!
I approve of this one, I think it would be the perfect bully repellant for his son! I mean, you wouldn't wanna mess with him, would you!?
Has he got a mop on his head!? Oh my god, I love it! I think the real Gandalf should have dressed like this!? You can't be embarrassed when he's this dedicated to the idea!
6. Be good, or you're dead!
I'd be alright with this… (almost!) as long as he didn't start trying to do any dancing! Sheesh!
I'm sure any fans of Star Wars on the school bus, would have loved this one! Whereas Rain, on the other hand…not so much!
This one is actually quite cool! & I'm loving the little Captain America photobomb in the back! How could you be mad at this much awesomeness!?
10. A cut out, cop out!
Ahhhh, this is a bit of a cop-out, not a cutout, Dale! Let's face it, you're not actually dressed up here…still hilarious though, I'll give you that!
Looks like Batgirl has let herself go, a bit! Seriously though, how did Rain not kill his Father for some of these!? Or at least ban him from coming outside…or tie him up in the sitting room so he can't escape! I'm giving you tips, here Rain, go with them!
I think this may be going a little too far, this isn't embarrassing, it's just plain scary! I bet the other kids on the bus were terrified! You've got to love that little matching clown shoe though! How genius is that!? It's actually quite cute!
This is actually very clever and creative…either that or he was starting to run out of ideas! I love how he's even managed to get Rain's little brother in on the embarrassment game too! There's just no stopping him now!
I think this one is actually my favourite! Which proves that sometimes, keeping it simple really is the best option!
& It turns out that Dale was pretty creative and thrifty on the creation of these costumes, also! Surprisingly, he only spent $50 on them for the whole year, by borrowing from friends and neighbours to help complete many of the hilarious outfits. Eventually, Rochelle thought it was time for the whole world to see Dale's costume capers and started a blog called Wave at the Bus, where unsurprisingly, his antics went viral!
So, what's the happy ending? After Rain graduated from high school he went to Liberia to be a missionary and sadly, Dale's daily outfit shananigans came to an end, but he does keep updating the blog. So, the project might be over, but the photos live on! If you enjoyed these, then go check them out!

Protecting Paradise
While the rest of the world ponders over the recent news that a million species globally are facing extinction from human activities, Lord Howe Island is celebrating the success of 40 years protecting its unique species, by removing the last introduced feral mammal pests.
Wherever humans have settled islands, they have brought their domestic animals along, and Lord Howe Island is no exception. Early sailors put pigs and goats onto the island for food; the settlers brought farm animals and domestic animals- horses, cats, dogs. The worst feral mammal to arrive was the Black rat, that got onto the island in 1918 with an incident involving the cargo ship Makambo.
In the 1970's, environmental surveys identified the damage being done to the island's flora and fauna species through introduced mammals – pigs, cats, dogs, goats and rodents.
Of particular imminent danger was the possible extinction of the endemic flightless bird, the Woodhen. Once thriving all over the island, this bird was at that time confined to just 20 individuals surviving on mountain summits. So, in 1980 the conservation story began for Lord Howe Island – the rescue of the Woodhen. The island men shot 180 wild pigs in the mountains, rangers trapped about eighty feral cats, and domestic cats banned.
As part of the rescue program, a captive breeding program raised 93 Woodhen chicks. The island now has about 300 Woodhens. The removal of feral animals has benefited all birdlife, with seabird and landbird numbers increasing.
In 1999 a team of New Zealand hunters were employed to remove wild goats that had also been put on the island by early sailors. Over a three-month period, the team, with locals, removed 384 goats. The recovery in plant life has been remarkable since these browsing goats have been removed.
In 2004 the island commenced a long term weed program to eradicate the invasive plant species that can modify the unique local plant communities. Weed mapping and strategy documents have been prepared and local residents have been trained to systematically comb the forest and remove weeds. The Federal and State governments have funded the program to about $10M, and ninety percent of weeds have been removed. This is an award winning program that is conserving the World Heritage values of Lord Howe Island.
A strict plant importation policy, and a sound biosecurity policy with cargo and ship movements, is in place to ensure no unwanted plant or animal pests arrive to the island.
As a visitor you can contribute to the island's conservation by adhering to import rules, and also by cleaning your walking shoes before travelling, and at shoe scrub bays at walking tracks.
In 2002 the LHI Board turned to investigating the feasibility of removing rodents from the island. At the time techniques had been developed to carry this out on islands around the world, led by New Zealand DoC. Over the next seven years a draft plan was prepared to carry out a rodent eradication on Lord Howe Island, using the experience and science from what had been achieved around the world since 1980. Funding for the Lord Howe Island project was received from State and Federal governments in 2012, and in 2019 the program was carried out.

A statewide effort is underway this weekend to educate parents about the new child safety seat law that'll go into effect July 1st. The law will require children to wear a seatbelt or be in a booster or safety seat depending on the child's age. Sergeant Genie Clemmons of the Iowa State Patrol says it's common to see kids in cars now without proper protection. She says it's something troopers see on a daily basis and they hope to educate people about the new law so they can make their children safer. Troopers will give you 18 months to adjust to the law — issuing warnings instead of tickets in that time. Clemmons says they'll do all they can to spread the word. She says along with the troopers on the road, they'll have 14 safety education officers going across the state to give talks anytime they can. Clemmons says troopers know what happens when kids aren't properly restrained in cars. She says they see it all too often where children and adults aren't properly buckled in and it results in an injury or fatality. Workshops across the state today (Saturday) will help parents evaluate their carseats and booster seats to see if they fit the children properly.

Q: Reauthentication behavior of SCP with curly braces I have the following files on a server:
A_Hello.txt
B_Hello.txt
C_Hello.txt
A_World.txt
B_World.txt
C_World.txt
A_SU.txt
B_SU.txt
C_SU.txt
A_IDONTWANTTHISFILE.txt

If I try to download the desired files (all except the last one):

scp me@server:/path/to/*_{Hello,World,SU}.txt

I get asked for my password each transition of the word in the curly braces, so:

*

*I execute the command and enter my server password

*The first 3 files get downloaded

*I get asked for my password

*The next 3 files get downloaded

*I get asked for my password .... etc

What is the cause and how can I get rid of it?

A:
What is the cause

The bash expansion is the answer. Your command
scp me@server:/path/to/*_{Hello,World,SU}.txt

expands to
scp me@server:/path/to/*_Hello.txt me@server:/path/to/*_World.txt me@server:/path/to/*_SU.txt

in your bash, which means that you issue three separate connection to the same server.

how can I get rid of it?

This depends. There are more possibilities.

*

*Set up ControlMaster so you will issue all the commands over the same connection:
create ~/.ssh/config
Host server
ControlPath ~/.ssh/%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster auto
ControlPersist 5m

and then run your favorite command:
scp me@server:/path/to/*_{Hello,World,SU}.txt

*Use sftp with batch file, which provides more flexibility in more complex cases:
sftp -b <( echo get /path/to/*_{Hello,World,SU}.txt ) me@server
