Kaikōura's much-loved crayfish caravan Nins Bin is making a comeback just in time for summer.
The well-photographed seafood vendor has been a favourite stop along the Kaikōura coastline for generations.
Nins Bin closed after a major earthquake cut off access to State Highway 1 north of Kaikōura in November 2016.
Now, the blue and white roadside caravan is getting a spruce up ahead of its planned reopening on December 15 – the same day SH1 reopens for daylight travel.
"She's all the same – just looking one million times better," says Nins Bin co-owner Johnny Clark. "She got neglected for a while.
Nins Bin has been owned and operated by the Clark family since the 1977, when Johnny's grandfather set it up. The caravan is named after a lady who used to work there.
Johnny, 23, has helped his father Rodney with the business for nine years – a lengthy apprenticeship. Now it's his time to shine.
The caravan will be in the same location as before – 20 kilometres up the coast from Kaikōura – but there's a lot more beachfront now.
Johnny says the land lifted 3.5 metres in the quake.
The menu will include mussels from the Hairy Mussel Co in Marlborough, whitebait and crayfish straight from the sea.
Catching the crays will be "just me and my deckhand Big Fletch", Johnny says.
Johnny shared the news of Nins Bin's reopening on Facebook this week and the post received congratulations from as far away as Texas.
"If you sell beautiful food, everyone talks," Johnny says.
The opening hours will mimic the opening hours of SH1 – check here for updates.
Kaikōura means "to eat crayfish" in Maori (kai – eat/food, koura – crayfish).

The 15th Russian-Norwegian Symposium in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway in 2011
The long term climate changes imply increased temperatures, less ice and a warmer ocean in the Barents Sea area. However, a special challenge in analyzing the Barents Sea ecosystem is that the short-term trend (since 2006) shows decreasing temperatures and increasing sea ice cover.
Published: 12.11.2010 - Updated: 16.02.2011
The Russian-Norwegian Symposium 2011 ("Climate change and effects on the Barents Sea marine living resources") aims to address questions related to these long and short term variations, and ask what these physical changes really are, and how they may protrude into the future. Furthermore, the question is raised as to how these assumed climate driven physical changes may change the ecosystems, and what implications and future challenges this represents for the management of the resources in the area
The symposium includes three theme sessions:
What are the changes?
What effects can be expected on the ecosystem?
Management implications and challenges.
The scientific sessions of the Symposium will be arranged during 7 and 8 September 2011, and the venue will be UNIS (The University Centre in Svalbard) in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The preliminary Symposium program include 6 keynote talks, 37 oral presentations and 16 posters. The Symposium Committee, based in IMR, PINRO and UNIS, welcomes attendance from scientists, managers, politicians and other stakeholders dealing with issues relevant to the symposium topics. Please contact the secretary of the Symposium program committee, Vera Helene Lund, for registration.

Q: How to replace two substrings with preg_replace? I want to replace two substrings with each other, as
$str = 'WORD1 some text WORD2 and we have WORD1.';

$result = 'WORD2 some text WORD1 and we have WORD2.';

I use preg_replace to match the replacing words,
$result = preg_replace('/\bWORD1(?=[\W.])/i', 'WORD2', $str);

but, how can I change WORD2 to WORD1 (in the original $str)?
The problem is that the replacement should be done at the same time. Otherwise, word1 changed to word2 will be changed to word1 again.
How can I make the replacements at the same time?

A: You may use preg_replace_callback:
$str = 'WORD1 some text WORD2 and we have WORD1.';
echo preg_replace_callback('~\b(?:WORD1|WORD2)\b~', function ($m) {
    return $m[0] === "WORD1" ? "WORD2" : "WORD1";
}, $str);

See the PHP demo.
If WORDs are Unicode strings, also add u modifier, '~\b(?:WORD1|WORD2)\b~u'.
The \b(?:WORD1|WORD2)\b pattern matches either WORD1 or WORD2 as whole words, and then, inside the anonymous function used as a replacement argument, you may check the match value and apply custom replacement logic for each case.

A: Just as another way.
You can Replace step by step if you use a intermediate-char. I prefere the preg_replace_callback() too, just to be shown what i mean:
$str = 'WORD1 some text WORD2 and we have WORD1.';

$w1 = "WORD1";
$w2 = "WORD2";

$interChr = chr(0);
$str = str_replace($w1, $interChr, $str);
$str = str_replace($w2, $w1, $str);
$str = str_replace($interChr, $w2, $str);

echo $str;
// WORD2 some text WORD1 and we have WORD2.

An Artist Reception and Q&A with Tallulah Terryll - Marion + Rose Fine Goods -Unique objects for living a life surrounded by comfort, craftsmanship and love.
We're really looking forward to having Tallulah Terryll's art up in the shop beginning on September 27th! Please come by from 6-8 p.m. to welcome her to the Old Oakland and see her show, "Willow Paintings" (up through November 1). Tallulah is an old friend of Kerri's (the shop owner) and an amazingly talented artist. She uses handmade stencils, paint, and Chine-collé techniques to create stunning mixed media works with lots of color.
What are your works inspired by, and where do you get the ideas for your patterns?
I'm inspired by snippets from nature. I look for the small, repetitive building blocks. Almost all of the work in this show is based on a photograph of the cell structure of willow bark I found in a biology book that had been untouched in a library for decades.
How do you generate the patterns, and what materials do you use for your works?
First I make a drawing, usually directly on the stencil material but sometimes I transfer it onto the stencil material later. I cut it out using a surgical scalpel. I then use watercolor, acrylic and inks with the stencil with many brush techniques and layers onto a sheet of paper.
We hear you spent some time in Japan. Can you tell us about the eastern influences in your work?
I think the thing most people jump to compare my work to is the beautiful Japanese textiles, and that totally makes sense. Of course, I also really love the textiles from Scandinavia, South Asia, and the Middle East as well. What was really significant about Japan for me was how well made everything was. There is such great craftsmanship and such pride in it.
I got my BFA from Cornish College of the Arts. It is a really tiny school in Seattle with fine art, theatre, music, dance and design programs. That is where I fell in love with printmaking. Then in 2006 I moved to Oakland, where I've been lucky to meet and befriend a great number of talented and inspirational artists.
We love that you're local. How can we support your work as an artist?
Come out to my shows. Get your friends to join you. Sign up for my email list. And, of course, if you feel so inclined, you could add some of my work to your collection!

The Camera Signal Splitter (CSSGL) may be used in several types of applications. In the most performance-demanding applications - the splitter gives enormous processing speed gain. Splitting of the camera video signal and triggering one of the grabbers only for even, and the other one for odd images - allows to achieve a doubled performance in terms of DPM. Even larger performance gain may be achieved using a cascade of splitters - where complicated and time-consuming tasks happen in numerous frame grabbers (image processing units) at the same time, in a pipeline fed through the CSS. Splitting camera signal may also be useful for a real time optical recognition and sorting tasks. The same video signal is processed and compressed by one frame grabber, transferred to host for archiving. The other, specialized frame grabber - analyzes only a certain small snippet of each document and makes an immediate sorting decision - depending on the snippet content.
In some applications the speed of processing is limited due to complicated algorithms for image processing. In other cases some parts of the image have to be processed with high priority to be able to take proper action, e.g. to recognize the OCR code on the payment document to have the ability to sort.
In those cases it is necessary to split the camera signal into two or more image processing units, to accelerate the processing.
The Camera Signal Splitter (CCSGL) has one camera input interface and two camera output interfaces to image processing board.
Power supply of the CSS can be delivered in two different ways. One possibility is via a special power socket situated on the CSS, the other is from the IE64_HS board, in case the CSS is plugged on the board.

Excluded Family Members: Brief on R. 117(9)(d)
excluded-family-members-brief-may-2016.pdf
Section 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations imposes a lifelong sponsorship ban on family members who were not examined at the time of the sponsor's immigration to Canada. Although R.117(9)(d) affects all categories of immigrants, it has a disproportionately negative effect on refugees and vulnerable migrants who fail to disclose a family member. Their reasons for doing so include fear of endangering the family member, gender-based oppression, lack of information, and unexpected life events. The regime set out in R.117(9)(d) is overbroad, excessive, and inflicts devastating harm on vulnerable people, especially children.


"I've been working on this year's Giro d'Italia since last winter, a conscious goal set by me and my team. My team gives me both confidence and chances to pursue a good classification as their leader."
Team LottoNL-Jumbo will start with Steven Kruijswijk as their leader at the 98th Giro d'Italia.
The Giro starts in San Lorenzo al Mare with a team time trial of 17.6 kilometers. The leader of Team LottoNL-Jumbo ensured an extensive preparation at altitude on the island of Tenerife.
"I've been working on this year's Giro d'Italia since last winter, a conscious goal set by me and my team. My team gives me both confidence and chances to pursue a good classification as their leader, with the support of riders around me. I would like to meet the expectations that I have raised in my first two seasons with two good Giros."
Just like Steven Kruijswijk, Moreno Hofland has targeted the Giro d'Italia well in advance. On Saturday he sprinted to a long anticipated first win of the season for Team LottoNL-Jumbo, as the Dutchman was unmatched in the bunch kick of the second stage of the Tour de Yorkshire.
"I gained a good feeling in Tour de Yorkshire," Hofland said. "I had a difficult start of the season, things didn't go as planned, but hopefully we can keep this trend going. I was already full of morale, but this gives me an extra boost in the run-up to the Giro d'Italia. In the difficult stages in the Giro, I will try to save energy. On the days that offer opportunities, I will go for it."
Sports Director Jan Boven has great faith in team leader Steven Kruijswijk.
"A top ten ranking is a wonderful challenge for Steven. He already proved his abilities in the past. This year, however, there are a few more additional top riders at the start. The preparations went well for Steven. He has prepared at altitude, just like in 2011, when he finished in eighth place. Steven is a quiet leader, who focusses well. Our team will try to create a relaxing atmosphere, ensure we have a clear daily plan and ride as a team."
Boven knows that winning a stage is a real challenge. Together with Frans Maassen and his riders, he will do everything to win a stage.
"The spring season of Moreno was less successful than expected. That's unfortunate, but the Giro is a motivation to show the world what he can do. His speed can help us to win a stage victory. George Bennett and Martijn Keizer have also prepared themselves at altitude. Our team also has strong riders that will excel because of spring power in their legs."
George Bennett, Rick Flens, Moreno Hofland, Martijn Keizer, Steven Kruijswijk, Nick van der Lijke, Bert-Jan Lindeman, Maarten Tjallingii and Robert Wagner.

New Chapter for an Old Building
Story by Jerri Holan
Award Recipients: Miguel & Monica Trejo
Old is new again as coffee shops once more become community magnets. Out are generic designs of chains like Starbucks & Peet's, in is a new type of café more rooted in location, authenticity, and unique character. In Alameda, WESCAFE is the real thing—a 1916 landmark building reincarnated into a popular café.
With vision, some seed money from Alameda's Façade Assistance Program, and lots of TLC by its current owners, Monica and Miguel Trejo, a run-down bank building was transformed into a local gathering place. Their success seems to be stimulating other business along this short but vibrant section of Webster Street, often a forgotten area of Alameda's commercial community.
WESCAFE is wedged between two adjacent brick buildings of about the same age. The immediate neighborhood is a wonderfully preserved block of old buildings that recalls Webster Streets early business origins. Two-story Victorian wood buildings on the north end of the block are complemented by single-story brick commercial buildings on the south end, reflecting the commercial development of the area from about 1875 when the West End Victorian resort boom started until about 1920 when shipyards and different construction materials spurred development. Monica and Miguel's rehabilitation used simple materials to create a distinct and friendly café. The design retains the tactile character of the original building and celebrates traditional materials.
On the exterior, original brickwork and large wood windows have been painted while the decorative brick cornice and beautiful plaster frieze have been restored. On the inside, traditional tilework on the floor and dark wood trim work is reminiscent of the building's 1916 vintage. Stamped sheet metal ceilings and period light fixtures complete the period ambience while wall stenciling adds the handcrafted quality of local artisans. Colors are soft and traditional, again respectful of the building's era.
On sunny days, patrons can utilize sidewalk tables or head inside where they can sit or stand as their fancy suits them. The deep narrow lot contains two original buildings separated by a courtyard which has been reconfigured into a covered patio, complete with trees, umbrellas and a soothing fountain, giving customers another outdoor seating alternative available year round. The vintage café feels as if it has always been there, concealing the enormous amount of work that transformed this old bank building into a favorite eating-place.
A new kitchen was installed while plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems were completely replaced and brought up to code. After collapsing in a storm DURING the remodel, the roof was totally rebuilt and the Trejos added an office and prep area on a mezzanine floor.
Before the Trejos took over the lease on the building in 2009, it had been vacant for years. For many decades, the building housed a bank, which closed sometime in the 1980s according to permit records. It then housed a frame store for a couple of years, but after that, it sat neglected and blighted.
In 2008, with Sue G. Russell's assistance, funds from the City of Alameda's Façade Assistance Program were used to paint the façade with soft pastel colors, highlighting the handsome building's proportions and elegant materials and regaining some of its lost character. A few months later, the Trejos signed the lease for their new café and a new chapter began for this humble brick building with a long history on Webster Street.
Built by the Powell Brothers in 1916 for $2,663, the original owners were the West End Building Association, a chamber of commerce-like group, which promoted business and real estate in this part of Alameda. The prominent nearby bank on the northwest corner of Haight and Webster was also built the same year by Master Architect John Hudson Thomas, an indication that the period was an important one for Webster Street. Webster Street's most prosperous era lasted from about 1915 through the 1940s, coinciding with the Bethlehem shipyard on the north end and Neptune Beach at the south. Webster Street's first banks (West End branches of local banks), its first large movie theater, and its first wave of brick and reinforced concrete buildings date from the early years. By WWI, fire limits had been established along both frontages of the street, requiring brick or reinforced concrete construction. The office building for the West End Building Association, along with two larger buildings—Alameda Savings Bank (1917) and the Neptune Theater (1920)—was one of the street's first brick structures.
While this small renovation project seems modest in the large scheme of things, in fact, it's a very important building in the context of Webster Street and commercial development in Alameda. The building is eligible for the California Register of Historic Places and the community is thankful to the Trejos for bringing this distinguished jewel back to life—it's a wonderful example of adaptive reuse done right.

Last year, we reported that Donald Glover was in talks with FX about developing a comedy called Atlanta about the city's rap scene. FX has now ordered a pilot for the show, saying, "Donald Glover is a uniquely talented actor and performer who brings real-life experience to this subject matter." Atlanta will probably have some meta-flavor, considering Glover's forays into music as Childish Gambino, who snagged two Grammy nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song. Glover, who is one of the executive producers, will also star as Earnest "Earn" Marks, a college dropout who aspires to be a rap star when his estranged family member suddenly hits it big. This year is closing nicely for Glover, who was filled with uncertainty about his post-Community life.
Awesome. I love his rap albums. He's hilarious.
This show starts the 6th of September. Is anyone else going to watch?

Thanks for the reminder, I had no idea it was that soon. I will for sure check out the first couple of episodes.
It is no secret I have a man-crush on Gambino, so I'm glad to see his project is doing well.
Donald Glover describes his new show Atlanta as "Twin Peaks, but for rappers"
Donald Glover on Why 'Atlanta' Has an All-Black Writing Staff "I wanted to show White people, you don't know everything about Black culture,"
So, the first two episodes were aired. It's aimed as a comedy, but that's not really it's intention. It's being compared a lot to Azis Ansari's Master of None.
Sounds very heavy for a comedy. I'll probably check them out this weekend. Is Don Glover's character in the show actually his rapper name Gambino?
cwilkins88 wrote: Source of the post he said he won't do any singing or rapping by himself of any sort.
Does a rap battle count as rapping by yourself? I thought it would be a lot about a rapper trying to make it.

Oh brother! It's Lauren's debut0
Debutante Lauren James skips past Servette's Laura Felber as the Blues won 1-0 Pic: Chelsea FC When Chelsea and England right back Reece James turned up at Kingsmeadow on Thursday night, 23 minutes into the Champions League match against Servette, you sensed he might have had a tip-off. Sure enough, five minutes before
Mighty Mouse strikes again0
Mighty mouse Fran Kirby is on a mission. The Chelsea star, who stands a mere 5ft 2in (including studs) is playing like a woman possessed… determined to make up for the months lost to the medical condition that threatened her career. It was she, rather than the lofty Birmingham defenders, who soared like a Bonfire

Chelsea FC Women
Millie Bright's power and ability to move Chelsea forward were missed by a team who lacked the answers to a gritty and determined performance by Birmingham City on Sunday, writes Jane Grove. The 5ft 10in defender, who had picked up a knock against Reading and who still hasn't quite recovered, watched from the main stand
Bring on the Brummies0
Chelsea Women face Birmingham at the weekend, determined to keep up the pressure at the top of the table, writes Jane Grove. And it's the stability of the current team that is the bedrock on which current form has been built. The latest Opta stats, just released, show that the Blues have made only two changes
Finders? Keepers!0
Chelsea Women's signing of another goalie – the fourth in the squad – is, at first glance, a conundrum. Everyone knows that manager Emma Hayes sets great store by her defence, and takes a ferocious pride in keeping clean sheets, but even she puffed out her cheeks and admitted the latest recruit's signing looks "crazy"
Everything but the goal0
Well, you couldn't fault the effort. Chelsea fought and fought, but just couldn't get the goal they needed to beat Birmingham on Sunday. The result, at a sun-soaked Autotech stadium in Solihull, was yet another 0-0… while Arsenal and Man City continued to soar away in their respective matches, apparently scoring goals for fun with

Gino's Story
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Gino has been a cardiology patient at Children's National since before he was born. His mother Dieana was looking forward to welcoming a healthy baby boy, a younger brother for her two daughters. Her pregnancy was progressing normally until her 19-week obstetrical ultrasound at her local hospital showed that Gino had a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a hole in the wall connecting the two lower chambers of his heart. "It was like being hit by a bus," Dieana said of hearing the news. That's when she came to Children's National, where she was introduced to Mary Donofrio, M.D., Director of the Fetal Heart Program.
Dr. Donofrio diagnosed the VSD as part of a larger diagnosis that included severe narrowing of the aorta, the major artery which carries blood from the heart to the body. Dr. Donofrio worked with Dieana and her doctors to create a care plan, including where to deliver so that they would be as close to Children's as possible. They planned for Gino to have surgery soon after he was born. Dieana met with Dilip Nath, M.D., Gino's cardiac surgeon, who explained exactly what he would do during the surgery. "Before talking to him, I couldn't hold myself together without crying," Dieana said. "Once I spoke with him, it became really real."
Dieana delivered Gino on July 15 at a nearby hospital. Not even three hours after he was born, Gino was transported to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Children's National, where his circulation was monitored while the care team prepared for his surgery. When he was 5 days old, Gino had open heart surgery to repair both the VSD and the aorta. Dr. Nath repaired the hole in Gino's heart and reconstructed the aortic arch by joining two parts of the disconnected blood vessel, and making it larger in the process.
"The surgery was scary," Dieana said. "The type of surgery Gino had made the surgeon have to think outside the box, and I feel really lucky to have had Dr. Nath as our surgeon."
For the next two months, Gino stayed at the hospital with Dieana by his side and Dr. Donofrio right there with her. "Having Dr. Donofrio by my side was amazing. She was a total angel for me," Dieana said. "She just made everything easier for me. I will never lose contact with her, even if Gino becomes someone else's patient."
"Gino was born with a very complicated heart defect. If we had not diagnosed it before birth, it is likely he would have gotten very sick in the first few days of life. Because we were prepared and able to plan his care after delivery, he did well. I look forward to caring for Gino and watching him grow up. It is the best part of the job," said Dr. Donofrio.
For Dieana, staying strong was important as she juggled hospital life with the life she had with her other two children, ages 8 and 13, at home. They made it through the hospital stay by having Gino's sisters visit when they could, and Gino was able to go home to his family on September 12.
"The Cardiac ICU and Heart and Kidney Unit (HKU) nursing staff and frontline providers worked hard to ensure that Gino did very well after the surgery. He is a strong baby, and I am glad to see that he is thriving at home with his wonderful family," said Dr. Nath.
Since being home, Gino has been quite the adventurer. He's playing with his sisters and babbling, and he is developmentally on track. Just five months after his surgery, his heart repair looks great, his heart function is normal, and a 24-hour heart monitor test showed no abnormal heartbeat. Dieana looks forward to spending more time with her curious little boy, who is full of energy from the time he wakes up in the morning until he goes to bed at night.
Dieana's advice for other parents going through similar situations: Every day, you have to walk in there like a soldier and just do it. The doctors, nurses, and nurse educators are there to help when you need it.

I painted this field of goldenrod in the early morning mist in Hidden Valley along the Jackson River as one of my plein air paintings in the Bath County Plein Air Festival. The mountain ridge in the distance remained obscured by the mist until long after I had moved to another location to paint, but months later in the studio I decided it would restore my original vision of the composition to include the ridge and some blue sky peeking through the lifting mist. This is what I had hoped would unfold while I was painting onsite.

Steve Cameron: Lights here shining on a better game
By Steve Cameron
Merced Sun-Star

Friday night lights.
Every fan knows the phrase, and what it means -- high school football.
Perhaps you've seen the movie with that very same name, or maybe even read H.G. Bissinger's book, "Friday Night Lights."
Bissinger spent an entire season following the exploits of Permian High in Odessa, Texas -- a perennial powerhouse in a football-crazy state.
"I'm not inside the other teams and schools in this area, obviously, but I know the coaches and people, and I don't think you see any of that crazy stuff here."
Scheidt has played and coached close by for a long time, and can remember only a few isolated incidents of unpleasantness at any of the schools in or around Merced County.
"Times when you'd feel something was over the top have been few and far between," he said.
"I remember when my dad (Tom) was coaching at Dos Palos, there was one guy who'd come out with his truck and a bullhorn, and he'd holler, 'Fire Scheidt!'
"But he was just one guy, an isolated case. When you look around this area, you just don't see the kind of things where you feel people have lost all good judgment and created problems."
In fact, things seem just the opposite here.
I remember the build-up to the Merced-Golden Valley game two years ago when both teams were really good, and I assumed that the city would be split in half.
But at the game itself, played before a standing-room-only mob at Don Odishoo Field, fans from both schools mingled in the parking lot, around the concession stands, all over the property.
And they got along so well I was stunned.
"These are good folks who understand that it's just a high school football game," said James Todd, father of former Merced stars Logan and Carter Todd. "Sure, everybody wants to win, but when it's over they know it was just a game played by kids who are having fun."
What an amazing concept.
Competition without the bullies who want to make your won-lost record bigger than everyday life.
The attitude toward prep football here makes it easy to get excited about a new season.
And I am.
This isn't Odessa -- or even Stockton -- and thank heavens for that.
So once again we can look forward to our glorious Friday nights.
Flip on those lights.

Emergency Road...
Emergency Road Constructed In Japan Within 24 Hours? A FactCheck
BOOM found the temporary road was opened for traffic after four months, and not 24 hours as claimed in the viral message.

A photograph of a U-shaped road is being shared with the false claim that an emergency road was constructed in Japan within 24 hours to maintain the flow of traffic following a landslide that blocked one side of the road.
The viral message reads: "Emergency road constructed in Japan within 24 hrs after a major calamity so as to maintain flow of traffic after the main one was being covered by landslide."
BOOM received the image on its WhatsApp helpline number (7700906111) inquiring about it.

Taking a cue from Twitter replies to the viral image, we found an article by Fukuinp, a Japanese newspaper which included the photo of the same u-shaped road.
Not 24 hours, but took four months for traffic to resume
The article stated that the temporary road located in Fukui City, Japan, was opened for traffic four months after a landslide had hit the main road due to heavy rains.
Between July 5 and 8, 2018, several highways and roads in Fukui Prefecture stopped traffic due to landslides reported Fukuinp.
Article on the bridge
The temporary road that can be spotted in the photo which was opened for traffic on October 31, 2018, according to the article dated November 1, 2018.
Photograph in the article
The article further states that due to heavy rain on July 5-8, a large landslide had occurred on National Highway No 305 after which the main road was closed.
It further stated that the main road would be restored by the end of financial year 2019.
Japanese Newspaper Fukuinp's Tweet on November 1, 2018
Turn Back Hoax, an Indonesian fact-checker had previously fact-checked the image.
The tweet dated October 31, 2018, with different images of the temporary road reads, "A 45-meter U-shaped temporary road has been completed on the sea side of National Highway No. 305 in the Koshitsu area in Fukui City, which has been closed due to a landslide in July. "
The time period for the construction of the temporary road is not clear, but news reports weeks and months after the landslide indicate it was not constructed overnight.

Students discovered in suspended animation under melting snowbanks
Written by Daniel Galef on March 30, 2016
More in Joke:
Title Club gives students titles of their choosing April 1, 2019
Plumber's Faucet alleges Suzanne Fortier is five owls in a trench coat April 1, 2019
I went to every single Montreal emergency room and this is a definitive list of them, ranked April 1, 2019
When April arrives with its sweet showers to herald spring and the end of the term, and the giant snowbanks that have dwarfed all other campus structures for the past six months finally begin to melt, what was once hidden shall be revealed. We meet again our old friends the benches and abandoned bicycles of yesteryear, and, like always, the students that were buried by snow and have been trapped in suspended animation since the Fall.
One such student, part of the growing epidemic which Service Point has dubbed "a nightmare in terms of paperwork, and also pretty existentially horrifying, too," was discovered in the Caryatid Fountain when the protective covering was removed in preparation for Spring OAP, perfectly preserved under a sheet of ice, flat beer, and unidentifiable bodily fluids.
"I can't even begin to imagine how this happened," laments the student, who has redacted his name for reasons of anonymity, but is reportedly the identical twin brother of a high-ranking Students' Society of McGill University (SSMU) executive. "I swear I was just at Gert's, imbibing my body weight in vodka, tequila, and actual automotive antifreeze, when I decided to run outside and fall asleep in a pool full of water while I waited for night to fall so it would be cold enough for skating." This mystery is not likely to be solved anytime soon.
This being Montreal, however, there are some snowbanks which have remained unmelted through the last summer and then some. In many places around town and around campus, the mounds are of such massive size that they survive every year to be replenished again with the new snow. For them, it is only this March that, due to construction plans and an advanced new form of synthetic rock salt brewed up in the laboratories of McConnell Engineering, they have finally been shifted.
And it is under these ancient hills that the truly shocking discoveries have been made. Hapless students are being uncovered in the icemelt that have been trapped beneath for 10, 20, even 50 years. Professor Anthony Rogers with the McGill Department of History and Climate Studies explains the crisis: "We do our best to help these students adjust to life in the 21st century, but there's only so much we can do to ease the transition of a lost soul from the 1980s into the bizarre modern landscape of social struggle, economic fluctuation, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau," Rogers explained.
One of the issues presented by the newcomers is how to deal with their academic standing. "I see no worldly reason why I should not be perfectly able to continue my studies and graduate this Michaelmas term with my degree in Telegraphy," asserts Jameson Ötzi (1867–1888 & 2016–present).
Upon examination of Mr. Ötzi's student records (unearthed from the dusty archives beneath the James Administration Building, where the file has been serving as a doorstop for the past 75 years), it was discovered that he has indeed completed his major requirements, but the university no longer offers his degree.
"The program was never discontinued," Rogers explained. "Its description and requirements have changed over time. In 1927, it was changed to the electronics and broadcasting technical studies program, then later on to electrical systems and circuitry for telecommunications, and, over the years, became what is now a degree in electrical engineering. That said, the administration feels that it might be imprudent to award Mr. Ötzi a 2016 electrical engineering degree based solely on his admittedly proficient knowledge of Morse code."
Other students in similar situations are currently in the ICU of the Montreal General Hospital (MGH) being attended to by hot tea, thermal blankets, and several dozen personal electric hairdriers. They have pending applications for degrees in Natural Philosophy, Alchemy, and Fire-Making (frankly, considering that the school was only founded in 1821, some of these are a bit surprising regardless). Furthermore, at least two dozen students displaced from the mid-19th century are petitioning the administration for completion of the popular "Imperialism" minor.
Students continuing from courses in the Faculty of Arts are expected to graduate without issue.

When You Fall Down: The Buster Keaton Story
James Dangerfield
Genre: Musical Theatre
Venue: Pleasance Courtyard
Through slapstick, songs, soft shoe shuffle and film extracts, this new one-man musical follows the triumphs and trials of Buster Keaton, with a particular focus on the turbulent years in which he made his iconic silent movies.
On entering the venue some simple, but effective, techniques encourage the audience to believe that we are the staff at MGM studios in 1928, waiting to welcome Keaton. A piano plays softly in the background. Keaton appears and explains that, by way of introduction, he will present a precis of his life and career. For the next 50 minutes we are there at MGM with him, listening attentively as he recounts his experiences.
In this one-man musical, performed and written by James Dangerfield, it is undoubtedly the music and lyrics that are the highlight of the show. The clever wordplay and catchy melodies (one of which has stayed with me all day!) would probably make a very enjoyable stand-alone soundtrack for a Keaton fan, without the benefit of any additional performance elements! The songs effectively tell the story – each one helping to progress the performance and always flowing seamlessly from the script. Dangerfield's singing was clear and tuneful, accompanied by backing tracks. One couldn't help but wonder how the atmosphere may have been enhanced, had there been a live piano accompanying both vocals and film clips!
In today's performance the vocal score was augmented by Dangerfield's portrayal of Keaton, interspersed with original film footage. The latter was incorporated as an integral part of the performance, to a very effective degree. Each segment left us wanting more, feeling excited about when the next snippet would be introduced. Keaton's talent was conveyed very clearly from these elements of film, delighting the many fans in the audience (who were often laughing in anticipation of what they knew was about to happen!). The timing of the film elements and stage work was very impressively executed, as at some points this required precise co-ordination.
From the moment Dangerfield entered the stage his admiration for Keaton shone through, feeling almost palpable at times. His diction, vocals and movement were clearly well rehearsed and his eye contact with the audience was striking. I am unsure if it was an intentional, stylistic approach to have very deliberate, structured actions and movement throughout the piece. This approach seemed to hinder the ability for natural emotion to be communicated effectively in some of the scenes. There were a couple of songs, in particular, which had significant potential to be extremely moving. The difficulties in developing an emotional depth may have hampered the audience's ability to believe that it was Keaton himself telling the story (a challenge possibly increased by the fact we were intermittently watching real Keaton footage). Even without a powerful emotional dimension, however, the audience warmed to Keaton's character as the show progressed.
The pace of the show was generally varied to good effect, though may have dipped a little too far towards the mid-point. This was aggravated by the fact that, on a few occasions, silent visual performance was taking place at floor level, which was not within the sight lines for many. One section, involving a drawing activity, felt particularly protracted and disengaging for those who could not see what was happening. Greater consideration of sight lines for the audience in this venue may help to inform the staging and overcome this difficulty.
Props, lighting and sound-effects were very effectively used, with film also helping to orientate the audience onto the appropriate time-line as scenes changed. The majority of the set was constructed in black, white and muted tones which enhanced the feel of the setting. In this context, the introduction of very bright colours for a particular element of the performance seemed to conflict with the environment. However, I wonder if there may be a deeper "Keaton–related" reason for this that went over my head.
The show mainly focussed on Keaton's life between 1917 (meeting Arbuckle) and 1928 (moving to MGM), during which time his major films were completed. Keaton's childhood was referenced in songs early in the show and his later life summarised at the close. The ambitious technique used to close the show fitted with the setting, though the time taken to complete some of the elements left today's audience a little confused about the point at which the show had ended. The structure of the last few minutes of the performance may benefit from greater clarity.
This creative, entertaining show will delight Buster Keaton fans and provide an enjoyable experience for all. After watching the well-chosen film footage, I suspect that newcomers to Keaton's work may well be inspired to find out more.

that FAILED over and over!! but never gave a crap what anybody else thought!! and somehow LIED his way into public office!! which he RUNS as if it were PRIVATE!!
He's still the president elect.
apparently their are TOO many GULLIBLE PEOPLE out there!! must be the effect of DRUGS!!
Not everyone wants to steal from the rich and reward free loaders.
the RICH steal FROM the POOR!! your just GRUDGING your DEM hawaii again!!
How do rich steal from the poor? The only examples I can think of is democrats raising taxes then giving themselves a raise. Or shutting down the government and they still get paid.
tRUMP shut down GOV NOT dems!! not getting paid solves nothing since republican congressman use the office to GET RICH!! they dont NEED the pay!! perfect EXAMPLE of the so claimed RICH tRUMP stealing the PAY of the ordinary worker!! who is POOR compared to the NICE mobsters tRUMP has hired!!
different TIMES different OPINIONS!! and i DOUBT those are his EXACT WORDS!! you KNOW how those RUSSIANS like to CAUSE TROUBLE!!
you remind me of tRUMP joe!! you know everything until it comes down to knowing SOMETHING.......then you know NOTHING!!
Because Trump was in the world of high finance, especially for luxurious hotels, one is bound to find some failures. It is the nature of big business, booms and busts, but, for Trump, it has been a very successful business career. If, however, you are ignorant about the world of business, or you're prejudice, it is easy to find negatives in order to demean successes.
tRUMP's SUCCESS is in MONEY LAUNDERING/DEBT renegotiating!? and the GLAM life!! he is NO GOOD at SUCCESS for the AVERAGE joe!! last 2 months SCRAP metal price has dove 25%!! businesses are SCREAMING about the tariffs killing their bottom line!! i see small businesses on the verge of dying all over my town!! thrift stores and charities are going broke!! so they now have raised prices to the level of j c pennys!!
Where is the evidence for your accusations? Most of what you say about Trump is slanted, prejudicial and mostly "character assassination." Most everyone sees through your campaign to destroy Trump.
Oh, is Trump also responsible for exploding stars and the expansion of the universe?

ACCESS Statement on COP 22
ACCESS calls for prioritisation of energy access in delivering the Paris Agreement. Support is needed for research, the strengthening of national enabling environments and inclusive national energy planning.
Marrakech, November 8, 2016 – A year on from the Paris Agreement and the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are we moving down the right track to deliver sustainable and efficient energy systems to prevent dangerous climate change and pull billions of people out of energy poverty? ACCESS calls for upscaling and prioritizing energy access, research, support to strengthen their national enabling environments and support for inclusive national energy planning.
Getting energy to those who need it most
SDG7 on ensuring affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030 recognises the interlinked challenges of tackling climate change, which hits the poorest hardest, and ending energy poverty. Access to energy is crucial for building climate resilient development, including sustainable livelihoods and job creation, health, education and women's empowerment. Around 3 billion people currently lack clean and safe energy for household cooking, and over 1 billion lack access to modern electricity.
As a coalition of national and international NGOs, ACCESS believes that civil society has a vital role to play in delivering SDG7. As trusted partners of poor communities, civil society organisations can raise community awareness of energy products and services and enabling environment issues, and work to ensure services are appropriate to meet community development needs in different contexts – including tackling the gendered impacts of poverty.
To end energy poverty, financing and other support must be fit for purpose. The biggest challenge is not generating much greater amounts of energy; it is getting it to those who need it most.
Solutions: Stand-alone units, mini-grids, renewables and safe cooking
An estimated 84% of electricity-poor households and communities live in rural areas, far from the grid. For these households, distributed stand-alone and mini-grid solutions powered by renewables such as wind and solar PV can be deployed much more quickly and are the most viable and affordable option for providing power to most new households. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that two thirds of the investment needed to give universal energy access should go to such distributed solutions, around US$23 billion per year.
The most prevalent and harmful form of energy poverty is lack of clean and safe cooking. Indoor air pollution is the fourth largest cause of mortality globally, more than unsafe water, HIV/AIDS or malaria – and it impacts women and children most. Rapid scale up of access to cleaner fuels and efficient cook-stoves is needed to meet this public health crisis in developing countries.
Rethinking tariffs and investing in upfront costs
For energy poor communities who live close to the central grid, connection is prevented by political, technical and cost barriers. Building new power generation capacity will not overcome these barriers. What is needed is investment in the upfront costs of new connections, and rationalising tariffs to reflect the true costs of supplying power, as well as more inclusive national energy planning processes.
Public finance has a huge role to play in supporting SDG7. Yet while donors are spending billions on support for energy in developing countries, only a small proportion goes to access, with most of this going to power generation, and only a tiny amount going to distributed solutions needed by the vast majority of energy poor people. The multilateral development banks and World Bank put less than 2% of their total energy support into distributed solutions.
ACCESS calls for the following to ensure that we are on the right track to delivery SDG7 by 2030:
All development partners to scale up and prioritise support for energy access, and in particular for distributed electricity and clean cooking solutions. This includes more appropriate financing instruments and a balance of loan and grant funding to support early stage and small-scale decentralised energy projects.
More research on the respective roles of public and private financing and the different financing approaches for delivering energy to different groups of poor end-users rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.
More support for developing countries to strengthen their national enabling environments to incentivise investment in distributed solutions, and build the human and institutional capacity required to deliver SDG7 at the national level.
More support for inclusive national energy planning processes and for the participation of energy poor communities in designing and delivering energy services so they meet their real development needs.

Cozy up by the fire with this comforting and hearty Cheesy Jalapeño Popper Soup — a pasta-perfect cold weather warm up.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the bell pepper and onion, cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the jalapeño peppers and the minced garlic, cook for 1 additional minute. Stir in the corn and cauliflower, cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Turn heat up to medium, whisk in the chicken broth and milk and cook until the mixture begins to simmer. Add the seasonings and continue simmering for 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Add about half of the soup to a high-powered blender and puree until smooth. You may have to do this in batches. Add the pureed soup back to the pot with the rest of the chunky soup.
Add the cream cheese and whisk vigorously until incorporated. Add the noodles and white cheddar packet from the Modern Table package. Simmer soup until the noodles are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add a splash or two of water if the soup is looking too thick.
Remove from the heat and garnish with desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Germany winger Julian Brandt extends Bayer Leverkusen deal to 2021
04/04/2018 at 13:13Updated 04/04/2018 at 14:14
Germany winger Julian Brandt has signed a two-year contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen until 2021.
The 21-year-old, who is battling for a spot in Germany's World Cup squad, opted to stay despite interest from some of Europe's top teams.
He has scored six times in the league and provided four assists this season and has grabbed a total of 24 goals in 126 Bundesliga matches since joining Leverkusen midway through the 2013-14 season.
"I see that something really big is growing here," Brandt, who has earned 14 caps with Germany, said in a statement.
"The recent contract extensions of Jonathan Tah and Lars Bender (both Germany internationals) have shown that. We want to win titles."
Leverkusen are fifth in the Bundesliga with six matches left in the campaign, with the top four teams qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Entire US Political System 'Under Hacking Attack'
October 14, 2016 /0 Comments/in US /by Joe Levin
It could have been a cold war drama. The world watched this week as accusations and counter-accusations were thrown by the American and Russian governments about documents stolen during a hack of the Democratic National Committee and the email account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta.
The notion that public figures have any right to privacy appears to have been lost in the furore surrounding the story, stolen correspondence being bandied around in attempts to influence the outcome of one of the nastiest, most vitriolic US presidential campaigns in history.
Some have argued that as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton's emails were fair game for hacking because had they not been held on a private server, they would have been subject to freedom of information requests and available to the general public.
There may be some truth to that, but it doesn't change the fact that correspondence between public figures has allegedly been hacked by those acting under the direction of a foreign government and released for everyone to peruse, with little opportunity for the authors to offer context or even confirm that the contents of the leaks are accurate.
The hacks have created a dilemma for American voters, according to Rob Guidry, CEO of social media analytics company Sc2 and a former special adviser to US Central Command. He says voters seem to want the information that has been leaked by the hackers but don't feel entirely comfortable with the hacks that have brought the information to light.
"What I find most intriguing about this is that many establishment outlets – including Fox News – are now actively turning to WikiLeaks and others for information that used to be provided by freedom of information requests," he said. "It's a rather strange turn of events."
Malcolm Nance, a former naval intelligence officer and author of The Plot to Hack America: How Putin's Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election, suggests there is a deliberate strategy behind the timing of release of the hacked emails.
The latest leaks mix false information with text extracted from real, stolen emails, he said. "This is a slow-roll political attack on the entire political infrastructure of America. It is Watergate – it's literally Watergate. They did what Nixon couldn't do."
The US government is taking a very direct approach in calling out what it says is Russian-directed hacking. That's significant – according to Richard Stiennon, author of There Will Be Cyberwar – because there is nothing new in what the Russian government has allegedly done in the 2016 election cycle.
"Russian interference with US elections is not 'heating up' per se, as much as it's coming out of the shadows," says Stiennon, who is also chief strategy officer of Georgia-based data security company Blancco Technology Group. "Hacking the DNC and Democratic congressional campaigns and then the leaking of stolen emails is somewhat ham-fisted, but it's an escalation of Russian disinformation campaigns," he said.
Stiennon also warned that one deeply disturbing potential result of these efforts could be to cause Americans to question the validity of the results of their presidential election.
"The probing of at least 23 election operations in various US states could lead to mistrust in election results if the election is close – think digital hanging chads," he said.
"The gloves are coming off as the tools of cybercrime are merging with the tools of information disruption. The blatant attacks on US elections – and political officials – is just one element as continued hacking and doxxing [releasing stolen documents] of US officials and agencies serves to embarrass the Obama administration.
"After the elections, the new administration will have to be prepared for even further escalations."
That leads to the third and final issue: that the US will fight back. No one yet knows what form that response will take, but the words of White House press secretary Josh Earnest were clear about the administration's commitment to ensuring that the hacks do not go unanswered.
"With regard to a response, we obviously will ensure that a US response is proportional. It is unlikely that our response would be announced in advance," he said.
"It's certainly possible that the president could choose response options that we never announce.
The president has talked before about the significant capabilities that the US government has to both defend our systems in the United States, but also carry out offensive operations in other countries. So there are a range of responses that are available to the president, and he will consider a response that's proportional."
When the US fights back, internet users will need to watch out for the digital fallout – particularly if it results in a "tit for tat" battle.
Turn the clock back to 2010 and the Stuxnet worm – a computer virus whose origins in branches of the CIA and Mossad were recently chronicled in a documentary that debuted earlier this year. That worm wasn't intended to impact users beyond its original target in Iran, but did.
Where does retaliation begin, and where will it end?
