Q: Read multiple files, compare values and create a list of presence or absence of parameters Please I need help with this.
I have 12 files I am trying to compare the presence or absence of a region that is defined in "key_file.txt" and produce a list that shows this.
I have written the following code but I get the following error.

Thank you for your help

A: as said in the comments your code can't work because "list1" is not list1.
the way you open your files is way too convoluted
A1_file = sys.argv[1]
with open(A1_file) as A1:
    list1 = A1.readlines()

file_list = ["list1","list2","list3","list4","list5","list6","list7","list8","list9","list10","list11","list12"]

for file_name in file_list:
    for eachline in file_name:
        do_stuff()

this, times your 12 files.
for i in range(1,13):
    with open(sys.argv[i]) as f:
        lines = f.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        do_stuff()

here there's no need to create a temporary file_name that doesn't work as expected

Police presence around mosques will help deter new attacks, Central Council of Muslims says.
Germany's Muslim community called on authorities on Tuesday to step up security around mosques in the country after recent terror attacks in New Zealand.
"POLICE PRESENCE WOULD HELP DETER ATTACKS"
Aiman Mazyek, chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, told a news conference in Berlin that visible police presence around mosques would help deter potential attacks by extremists. "This would also have a symbolic meaning," he said, adding that the Muslim community would feel that "the state and society take responsibility for their security."
Germany has witnessed growing racism and Islamophobia in recent years fueled by far-right parties, which have exploited fears over the refugee crisis and terrorism.
Police recorded 578 hate crimes against Muslims between January and September last year. At least 40 Muslims were injured in the attacks, which were carried out mostly by far-right extremists.


I have the pleasure of showing you Subway Series: Spring. I used the Valentine's Day stamp, but included in the set are also stamps for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. To create a two toned image I first inked up the stamp in pink ink, then using a red marker I colored portions of the image directly on the stamp. Before stamping I huffed on my stamp to moisten the ink. You could do this to highlight any of the words or images. It will give your stamped image a new look every time!
Now head over to the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog to see the full set, samples by the design teams and enter for a chance to win Subway Series: Spring!
Oh this design is beautiful. I love the touch of red on the subway stamp. And thank you so much for your note this morning on my blog. Very helpful!!
Looks fabulous...love the two tone color!
This is so stinking cute! Love how you did the two colors!
Maureen this is such a beautiful card, I love that stamp and your great technique! Bravo!
What a cute card!! Very fun!
Wow! This is soooo cute!
The red highlights look fabulous! And that red and pink twine is smashing!
Such a pretty card. I love how you have inked some of the sentiment in red.
Genius! Love the two toned stamp and the double bow is so perfect! So glad you're on this team - you are rocking their stamps!

Under Threat of Closure, Illinois Lawmakers Try to Save Private School Scholarship Program
Cole Lauterbach - Watchdog.org - April 3, 2019 4:55 AM
With Illinois' popular private school scholarship program under threat of being scaled back, a number of Illinois lawmakers want a resolution asking Gov. J.B. Pritzker to let it continue.
House Resolution 169 urges support for the Invest in Kids private school scholarship program. In the resolution, the lawmakers ask Pritzker "to allow the Invest in Kids Act to be in full effect for the five years of the pilot program as intended by this General Assembly upon passage of the Evidence-Based Funding for Student Success Act."
It also calls on Illinois' congressional delegation to approve of the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act, a federal program similar to the state's Invest in Kids program, which provides tax breaks. The scholarship program is funded by private donors who get a 75 cents-on-the-dollar tax credit via the Illinois Department of Revenue.
In its first year, Illinoisans donated $61 million to sponsor the private school tuition of students in exchange for a state tax credit. Freshman Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker has proposed to phase it out over the next three years. He said in his budget proposal that it would put about $6 million into state coffers next year.
State Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Democrats should honor the bargain they struck when lawmakers reformed Illinois' school funding formula.
"There have been some recent reports that it is really assisting a group of people that really need assistance," he said. "The new governor wants to change that deal but I would like to see him fulfill their end of the bargain."
A report released by Empower Illinois, the state's largest scholarship-granting organization, found the majority of the 5,459 students that received scholarships were non-white minority students who attended 401 different schools across Illinois. The recipient's family's average income was $35,371, or 148 percent of the poverty level. And the average scholarship received was $6,669, about the full cost of the average tuition. Of the 1,988 donors, the most common donation amount was $1,000. Eleven donors gave the maximum amount of $1.3 million, an amount responsible for sending about 200 kids to private schools of their choice at little-to-no cost to the family.
As of Monday, the program had raised $21.7 million for the next semester.
"Thanks to the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship program, over $61 million of additional, private funds were infused in our education system last year – a record for a first-year program of this kind. These scholarships have given thousands of under-served Illinois children the opportunity to receive an education that best fits their needs. In the first year alone, SGOs awarded over 7,000 scholarships across the state, making a significant impact on Illinois education," Empower Illinois said in a statement.
"This five-year pilot program was created with bipartisan support, and we look forward to continuing our work with lawmakers and community partners who already recognize the importance of the Tax Credit Scholarship program. Ending the program prematurely would leave thousands of families extremely vulnerable. The 41,000 children who applied this year deserve the chance at a life-changing scholarship and the opportunity to receive the education that best fits their needs, regardless of their ZIP Code or family income."

Castelmagno is a semi-fat, medium-aged, semi-hard cheese.
Historically, it is one of the most important cheeses produced in Piedmont, in the province of Cuneo, with cow's milk and a possible addition of sheep's and goat's milk.
After production, Castelmagno DOP is aged in natural and dry places, or in caves. Its paste is crumbly, and its aromas and odors very intense.
For this reason, it used primarily in the Piedmont cuisine, to enrich dishes like Potato gnocchi with melted Castelmagno. It can be enjoyed alone or paired with honeys, accompanied by a good glas of red and full-bodied wine, like Barbaresco, Barolo and Nebbiolo d'Alba.
Browse our selection of recipes with Castelmagno cheese and discover the marvellous places this cheese comes from.
From the wedding between Barolo wine and Castelmagno cheese, undisputed stars of Piedmont's cuisine, rises this delicious risotto recipe.

"A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it." -The First Law of Mentat, quoted by Paul Atreides to Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam[ref]From Dune by Frank Herbert[/ref] Once, during the semester I spent in Los Angeles, a bunch of people from my program all went down to the beach to watch the sunset. We hung out, roasted marshmallows, and had a good time.
As the sun sank over the horizon, everyone was looking out over the water. A few people had their phones out. I rarely took pictures on my phone (it was the first one I'd had that had a camera.) Surely for this, though, it was worth capturing for posterity.
So I pulled it out of my pocket and started snapping pictures. This was not an iPhone, either. Tiny lens, tiny sensor, tiny image file. As soon as the sky went dark, I realized I had watched the entire show on a two inch screen. Even with phone cameras now, and even with a bigger DSLR sensor, they can't compare to the resolution, the dynamic range, or the colorscape cape, of the naked eye.
In my analysis and theory classes, a recurring theme was remembering that the camera distorts whatever it sees. The frame, the lens, the film stock are all variables that you have to choose, and by making that choice, you cut off other avenues. Capturing real life is not as simple as setting up a tripod and turning the camera on.
Even trying to be "realistic" often denies the artificiality of what we create. To quote DB, "Realism is a fig leaf for doing what you want."
I've taken better pictures of sunsets since then, and I'm even more careful about when I do take pictures. Especially when I'm interacting with other people, it feels weird to place a camera between them and me. It's important to experience what's really going on around you.
We can put up barriers between us and the outside world in other ways, too. Los Angeles in particular seemed like it was in a bizarre bubble where everything was equally unreal. The weather was always the same, the buildings were sets, and everyone was a character.
Just before classes started, I took a walk through the apartment complex where we were all staying. It was mid-afternoon on a weekday. The pool was crowded with people, most of them actors, working on their tans and networking with each other. These were people who wanted to be the doctors, soldiers, lawyers, cheating husbands, and backstabbing girlfriends we see on screen- yet their existence was completely unlike the people they wanted to be. How could they inhabit these parts?
I don't mean to sound like everyone and his grandfather complaining about the damn teenagers on their phones all the time. Now that everyone has a decent video camera in their pocket, society can begin to change in positive ways. Unless you ask the police officers whose screwups and homicides keep going viral on teh interwebs.
The punchline to the sunset story is that about four months later, I left my phone with the pictures on it in a taxicab in New York City. Oh well. Electronics are transitory. Memory is until about age 65. If you're lucky.
You Have Meddled With the Primal Forces of Time, Captain Kirk!

Are You Embracing the Twitter-ized Society?
During one of the breaks during MIT's Startup Bootcamp, I was talking with a friend about the presentations we had seen thus far and which we thought were the best. As we talked more about the ones we liked, we realized that there was a common thread: tweet-ability. The presentations we liked best had very few words on each slide…often much less than 140 characters and usually it was simply a picture. Looking back now a week later, the only slides I can vividly remember are ones that had either less than 10 words on the screen or were just a picture. Thinking back even further to other presentations I've seen in the last year, I've realized that the only slides I can remember also fit that description.
So what does this mean? I think it really speaks to the power of communication and Twitter's affect on it. It started with text messages, where suddenly you could pass information to your friends in 160 characters or less, and now with Twitter, you have 140 characters or can "Twitpic" a picture to quickly share an idea or comment. This practice is being embraced everywhere…from HubSpot taking questions for their weekly shows and "Series C Webcast" today via Twitter, to Mass High Tech All Stars (according to tweets) being limited in their speeches to 140 characters or less.
So the question begging to be asked: Is this a bad thing?
I don't think so. The shorter content is actually easier to remember, and it's making everyone be more efficient and effective in their communications. In this information-saturated world we live in, this is a logical evolution to again allow us to communicate and understand more ideas in less time. As long as we understand when we need to add context (like blogs, books and other 140+ character communications), I think this is an important evolution in the way we communicate.
How are you embracing the Twitter-ized Society?

I totally agree with this post, and always wondered about the contribution to brevity that Twitter might make in time. Your point about presentations is a good example of this, and the reason advertising is so effective in this context is a no brainer. We have short attention spans, so we need to talk fast.
I've noticed that I think differently about the articles I read online, because I wonder how I can succinctly articulate the gist of the article – to either save it as a bookmark, tweet it with a link or share it on Facebook.
These communication mediums mean that you can immediately consume and redistribute information that you discover, and communicating the thrust of the info immediately is important.

Good point on article saving.
I think the future is going to become so crowded with content (imagine when the majority are using social media fully?!) that it will be essential to be as concise with ideas as possible as there will be so much to consume.
Hey Jason,
Dig this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpEnFwiqdx8.
Maybe Twitter'll help us deal with the overload.
I really like your blog – I found it through Brazen Careerist, and maybe I'll see you round those traps.
Glad you like it. That was an interesting video…along the lines of the one I embedded in this entry: https://jasonevanish.com/2009/10/26/what-is-the-future-of-marketing/
Anyone who can figure out how we're going to handle all of the content, information and technological change in the coming years will do quite well. It's definitely something I'm working to try to figure out.
Looks like a lot of it was sourced from the original 'Did You Know?' video. Even has the same tune. You'd certainly be well placed if you helped people manage the flow …
That's a good point…however, I'm also a big proponent of free and open information, so any solution would have to be able to meet people's customized voices.
…maybe someone will invent an AI that can read for us or we can plug right in and absorb stuff. You can only read so fast.
yeah, an IV drip would be nice …
approaching this with a mind for free and open information is a must, as people won't tolerate having their content filtered by gates they can't control. if their growing dissatisfaction with the MSM is anything to go by.
for example, i'm excited about how web highlighting is allowing us to bookmark specific information on a web page. it means that readers determine for themselves what is relevant to them. it seems like a burgeoning area for internet ventures …
I saw this flying around Twitter today and thought it relevant to this discussion:

Q: Estimates for this divisor sum I am reading a paper in analytic number theory. I'm stuck on a line. The author did this which I don't understand. $$\sum_{\substack{q | P \\ v(q) = \gamma}} |\mu(q)|(\frac{x}{hq} + 1) \ll \frac{x}{h}\frac{1}{\gamma!}(\sum_{p | P} \frac{1}{p})^{\gamma} $$
where $\mu(n)$ is the Möbius function, P is a squarefree integer, $v(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, and $p$ is prime.

Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone ski resorts close to offering majority of terrain
Sports | January 6, 2014
Sebastian Foltz
sfoltz@summitdaily.com
The Mountain Chief chair at Copper Mountain(pictured) opened for the season on Thursday, opening portions of the resort's backside including Copper Bowl and Union Peak. Thanks to early snow resorts across Summit have been able to open much more terrain than at the same time last season.
Tripp Fay / Copper Mountain Resort | Summit Daily
On a morning when 16 inches of fresh snow has fallen in the last 48 hours, there are few things as satisfying as pulling into a ski resort parking lot just before the lifts are set to open. The excitement, the childlike anticipation — short of being on top of a ridge deep in the backcountry or hopping out of a helicopter in some Alaskan or British Canadian mountain range — there's nothing like it. But that excitement can turn into sheer frustration in a heartbeat with the discovery that — in a rush to leave the house that morning— two left-footed boots ended up in the back of the Jeep. Still, the moral of this story isn't to double-check gear, although that is generally a pretty solid policy. If karma is on your side, you just might find yourself at the top of a hill two hours later as the rope is dropping to open a bowl for the day. Turns out, some days it is good to start the day with two left-footed boots.
With the recent storm and another in the forecast for the weekend, expect a lot of ropes to be dropping at area resorts if they haven't already. While backcountry avalanche risk remains high, the snow continues to be welcome news for inbounds terrain. Current snowpack is being reported at near or slightly above average for this time of year, but well beyond what it has been in recent winters.
"This is what we would like to call a normal season," Breckenridge spokeswoman Kristen Petitt Stewart said Thursday. "Definitely compared to seasons past, people are going to be very impressed by our current conditions. We're thrilled."
Copper Mountain's communications manager Austyn Williams told the Daily that this time last year they had recorded only 47 inches of snow, after this last storm they reported 116 total inches for the season.
Starting Friday, temperatures are expected to drop as a new system rolls in. Opensnow.com is calling for as much as 9 new inches by Sunday morning.
Here's a look across the county at terrain availability headed into the weekend.
After receiving a reported 16 inches in the last 48 hours, Breckenridge now has 70 percent of their terrain open — 2,102 of 2,908 acres. Most closed terrain is above-treeline expert skiing. All 33 lifts are currently running, including two lifts on their new Peak 6 expansion.
After avalanche mitigation work, ski patrol and mountain operations were able to open the Mountain Chief chair — which accesses the backside terrain in the Copper Bowl and around Union Peak — for the first time this season. Mitigation work will continue in an effort to open more backside terrain through the weekend. Spalding Bowl was closed for avalanche control work and is expected to reopen Friday. Union Bowl opened at midday Thursday. Copper is currently running all 22 lifts with close to three quarters of their terrain open.
A-Basin has good coverage but remains limited to front side terrain. The Montezuma Bowl on the backside and East Wall have yet to open for the season. "Montezuma is close, but it's not ready yet," A-Basin communications manager Adrienne Saia Isaac said Thursday. Mountain operations reported the backside terrain will need some additional snowfall before it can open for the year. It is unlikely to open this weekend. The ski area currently has 425 of its 960 acres open.
New terrain in Keystone's Outback area was opened this week, including portions of the Independence Bowl, which opened for the first time this season. They are now reporting that 2,014 of their 3,148 acres are open. Resort officials said they are scheduled to start snowcat operations in the Independence Bowl Monday, Jan. 6.
Eight of 10 lifts are currently operating at Loveland Ski Area, accessing 1,084 of the mountain's 1,800 acres.


Several members of the public are once again questioning the priorities of the Douglas County School District. Although state funding to education is expected to increase slightly next year, it was quite a surprise recently to learn that significant cuts were being proposed for middle and high schools in order to fund struggling elementary schools. Major financial decisions that impact schools are typically vetted by the board of education before budgets are handed out to principals, but that did not happen this year. This lack of transparency resulted in a parent-driven town hall meeting.
It's important to understand that middle and high schools have taken the brunt of cuts over the last nine years. Cuts to high schools in 2012, taken in the same year the district posted a $17 million operating surplus, forced all schools onto a new schedule that provided less instructional time for students. This decision resulted in the district paying $2 million back to the state of Colorado when a routine audit found that numerous students failed to meet the minimum requirements for full-time status. Understandably, parents are concerned about this new proposal and the impact it will have on high school students.
All schools have significant needs, especially when it comes to attracting and retaining excellent teachers, addressing social/emotional health and student safety, and improving academic achievement. Furthermore, students in schools with lower enrollment have fewer choices, and often less individualized support, than their peers in a larger school. This is the situation that a number of Douglas County elementary schools currently find themselves in due to slower growth in student enrollment.
The Douglas County School District is calling on secondary schools to take a cut to supplement impacted elementary schools. The justification for doing so lies in the new market-based pay system that the district recently admitted is flawed and pays secondary teachers more than elementary. Now the district is turning toward the middle and high schools to absorb the higher cost for each teacher in their building without providing them adequate funds to offset the cost. The total cut for secondary schools was originally estimated between $2.7 million and $3.5 million, and then lowered after public outcry to between $1.2 million and $2 million.
Central administration could easily absorb this entire cut. In the current school year, Douglas County has budgeted $18.5 million more in central administration departments, not including special education, than they did just two years ago. The Douglas County School District has been working toward a costly goal to become a software provider by creating a customized software system. This decision has tripled the size of their IT budget in recent years. To date, efforts to launch the product have been unsuccessful, pointing to IT as a source for cuts.
The most important discussion that has yet to occur regards the impact of cuts on student achievement. Douglas County School District is no longer accredited with distinction. At the Jan. 3 board of education meeting, a district presentation regarding the implementation of new competency graduation requirements that are state-mandated for the class of 2021 showed that 25 percent of Douglas County students do not meet the state's ACT requirement for graduation. This would indicate that additional resources should be directed to secondary schools, rather than using them as the source for more cuts.
The Douglas County Board of Education needs to adjust course, hold central administration accountable for massive increases in department budgets, and focus on providing a high quality education to all students in Douglas County. Prioritizing students over growing central administration budgets should be an easy decision.
Laura Mutton is a parent of two former Douglas County students and the president of the Strong Schools Coalition, a nonpartisan organization working to inform and engage the community to positively impact the Douglas County School District. She also works as an accounting software developer.

Q: LDAP nested group filter for microsoft AD I would like to write a search filter which would help me retrieve all groups which a user is part of.
For instance:
Say I am retrieving entries for user A (which is part of group A). And group A may be part of group B and group D which in turn may be part of group E.
Now, my search filter should return me MemberOf attribute as all possible groups which user A is part of (in this specific case it is Group A, B, D, E).
Any pointers on how the search filter can look like?

A: This should do what you are asking about. It will return the FDN of each group the user is a memberOf, however, this queries the group, not the user.
As an example, to find all the groups that "CN=John Smith,DC=MyDomain,DC=NET" is a member of, set the base to the groups container DN; for example (OU=groupsOU,DC=MyDomain,DC=NET) and the scope to subtree, and use the following filter.
(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=(CN=John Smith,DC=MyDomain,DC=NET))
-jim

A: There is an attribute called tokenGroups in user object.  It's a constructed attributes calculated by Active Directory on the runtime.  It includes all the groups the user object belong to.
Make sure your domain has a Global Catalog and make sure the account that you are using Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group.  Then, make sure tokenGroups is specified as one of the returned property.  Do a base scope search on the user object.

A: You can use adfind.exe (joeware) to sort out this issue and to utilize standard ldap filters that are described here. For example:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5392.active-directory-ldap-syntax-filters.aspx
Group nesting is specified to be like this:
(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=cn=Jim Smith,ou=West,dc=Domain,dc=com)

and if you use adfind, then it would look like this:
adfind -f "(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=cn=Jim Smith,ou=West,dc=Domain,dc=com)" samaccountname -list

If you want to have output other than samaccountname, for example displayname, or mail attribute, just add to the list. Also if you want to search multiple users, then you might want to have inputfile containing all users and some script to extract each lines to adfind for example.

Community Church of Palm Springs 283 South Cahuilla Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262
The Community Church of Palm Springs was designed by architect Charles Tanner in 1935. On February 21, 1954 President and Mrs. Eisenhower worshiped in the church during a week-long visit to Palm Springs. The church was designated a Class 1 historic site by the city of Palm Springs in 1989.
On May 17, 2014 at the city's first celebration of National Preservation Month, the owner of the Community Church of Palm Springs announced his plans for the rehabilitation of the church and the adjacent Orchid Tree Inn. The next day the Desert Sun newspaper reported that the Community Church of Palm Springs "could rise from the ashes as a new luxury boutique hotel in the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood."
On October 2, 2013, prompted by the Community Church of Palm Springs fire, PSPF President Erik Rosenow wrote a compelling "Valley Voice" which expressed concerns about the city's non-existent enforcement of the Vacant Building ordinance. To read the Op-Ed piece click here.
On September 18, 2013 the Community Church of Palm Springs was the victim of a severe fire. The church (featured on page 28 of PSPF's Class 1: A Guide to the Designated Class 1 Historic Sites in Palm Springs booklet) had been vacant for many years. The Community Church fire occurred on the heels of two other suspicious fires in important buildings: the historic Chart House Restaurant building in Rancho Mirage and the Carnell Building on Palm Canyon Drive.
Palm Springs has suffered from a string of suspicious fires over the years that go as far back as the historic El Mirador Tower and Albert Frey's Premier Apartments. We will keep you informed as developments on the Community Church fire unfold. (Fire photo courtesy Laura Ramstead)

Q: Amazon Transcribe Streaming service request in Node.js with Http/2 gives no response I am trying to use Amazon Transcribe Streaming Service with a http2 request from Node.js, Here is the documentation links that I am following
Streaming request format. According to this document end point is https://transcribe-streaming.<'region'>.amazonaws.com, but making a request to this url gives url not found error.
But in the Java Example found end point as https://transcribestreaming.''.amazonaws.com, so making a request to this url does not give any error or response back. I am trying from us-east-1 region.
Here is the code I am trying with.
const http2 = require('http2');
var aws4  = require('aws4');

var opts = {
  service: 'transcribe',
  region: 'us-east-1',
  path: '/stream-transcription',
  headers:{
   'content-type': 'application/json',
   'x-amz-target': 'com.amazonaws.transcribe.Transcribe.StartStreamTranscription'
  }
}

var urlObj = aws4.sign(opts, {accessKeyId: '<access key>', secretAccessKey: '<aws secret>'});
const client = http2.connect('https://transcribestreaming.<region>.amazonaws.com');
client.on('error', function(err){
  console.error("error in request ",err);
});

const req = client.request({
  ':method': 'POST',
  ':path': '/stream-transcription',
  'authorization': urlObj.headers.Authorization,
  'content-type': 'application/json',
  'x-amz-content-sha256': 'STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-EVENTS',
  'x-amz-target': 'com.amazonaws.transcribe.Transcribe.StartStreamTranscription',
  'x-amz-date': urlObj['headers']['X-Amz-Date'],
  'x-amz-transcribe-language-code': 'en-US',
  'x-amz-transcribe-media-encoding': 'pcm',
  'x-amz-transcribe-sample-rate': 44100
});

req.on('response', (headers, flags) => {
  for (const name in headers) {
    console.log(`${name}: ${headers[name]}`);
  }
});
let data = '';
req.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; });
req.on('end', () => {
  console.log(`\n${data}`);
  client.close();
});
req.end();

Can anyone point out what I am missing here. I couldn't find any examples implementing this with HTTP/2 either.
Update:
  Changing the Content-type to application/json came back with response status 200 but with following exception:
`{"Output":{"__type":"com.amazon.coral.service#SerializationException"},"Version":"1.0"}`

Update (April-22-2019):
req.setEncoding('utf8');
req.write(audioBlob);

var audioBlob = new Buffer(JSON.stringify({
    "AudioStream": {
       "AudioEvent": {
          "AudioChunk": audioBufferData
     }
 }

Before ending the request I am adding a "audioblod" as payload by serializing. My "audioBufferData" is in raw PCM audio format from browser.
I see from documentation payload has to be encoded to "Event Stream Encoding", but couldn't figure out how to implement it.
So with out this event stream encoding currently i am getting this following exception with 200 response status.
{"Output":{"__type":"com.amazon.coral.service#UnknownOperationException"},"Version":"1.0"}

A: I reached out to AWS support and they don't seem to be able to get a HTTP/2 implementation working with NodeJS Either.
However, they have now provided a way to interact with the Transcribe streaming API directly via websockets (blog post here)
If this fits your usecase I would highly recommend checking out the new example repo at: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-transcribe-websocket-static
If you're using it in a public-facing page I'd recommend using unauthenticated Cognito sessions to handle credential retrieval. I've got this working in a production app so feel free to tag me in any other questions.

A: This doesn't directly answer the question but I think it's useful enough to post as an answer rather than a comment.
AWS just announced WebSocket support for Amazon Transcribe. Here are the docs, and here is a client-side sample app. The biggest difference, and one that I think makes integrating with WebSockets more straightforward, is that you do not need to sign each audio chunk like http/2 requires.
The relevant code for authorizing and initiating the connection using a pre-signed URL is in lib/aws-signature-v4.js
exports.createPresignedURL = function(method, host, path, service, payload, options) {
  options = options || {};
  options.key = options.key || process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID;
  options.secret = options.secret || process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY;
  options.protocol = options.protocol || 'https';
  options.headers = options.headers || {};
  options.timestamp = options.timestamp || Date.now();
  options.region = options.region || process.env.AWS_REGION || 'us-east-1';
  options.expires = options.expires || 86400; // 24 hours
  options.headers = options.headers || {};

  // host is required
  options.headers.Host = host;

  var query = options.query ? querystring.parse(options.query) : {};
  query['X-Amz-Algorithm'] = 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256';
  query['X-Amz-Credential'] = options.key + '/' + exports.createCredentialScope(options.timestamp, options.region, service);
  query['X-Amz-Date'] = toTime(options.timestamp);
  query['X-Amz-Expires'] = options.expires;
  query['X-Amz-SignedHeaders'] = exports.createSignedHeaders(options.headers);

  var canonicalRequest = exports.createCanonicalRequest(method, path, query, options.headers, payload);
  var stringToSign = exports.createStringToSign(options.timestamp, options.region, service, canonicalRequest);
  var signature = exports.createSignature(options.secret, options.timestamp, options.region, service, stringToSign);
  query['X-Amz-Signature'] = signature;
  return options.protocol + '://' + host + path + '?' + querystring.stringify(query);
};

And we invoke it in lib/main.js:
function createPresignedUrl() {
    let endpoint = "transcribestreaming." + region + ".amazonaws.com:8443";

    // get a preauthenticated URL that we can use to establish our WebSocket
    return v4.createPresignedURL(
        'GET',
        endpoint,
        '/stream-transcription-websocket',
        'transcribe',
        crypto.createHash('sha256').update('', 'utf8').digest('hex'), {
            'key': $('#access_id').val(),
            'secret': $('#secret_key').val(),
            'protocol': 'wss',
            'expires': 15,
            'region': region,
            'query': "language-code=" + languageCode + "&media-encoding=pcm&sample-rate=" + sampleRate
        }
    );
}

To package things in the event stream message format we need, we wrap the PCM-encoded audio in a JSON envelope and convert it to binary
function convertAudioToBinaryMessage(audioChunk) {
    let raw = mic.toRaw(audioChunk);

    if (raw == null)
        return;

    // downsample and convert the raw audio bytes to PCM
    let downsampledBuffer = audioUtils.downsampleBuffer(raw, sampleRate);
    let pcmEncodedBuffer = audioUtils.pcmEncode(downsampledBuffer);

    // add the right JSON headers and structure to the message
    let audioEventMessage = getAudioEventMessage(Buffer.from(pcmEncodedBuffer));

    //convert the JSON object + headers into a binary event stream message
    let binary = eventStreamMarshaller.marshall(audioEventMessage);

    return binary;
}

function getAudioEventMessage(buffer) {
    // wrap the audio data in a JSON envelope
    return {
        headers: {
            ':message-type': {
                type: 'string',
                value: 'event'
            },
            ':event-type': {
                type: 'string',
                value: 'AudioEvent'
            }
        },
        body: buffer
    };
}

A: I had a similar requirement for using the AWS transcribe service with their WebSocket API in node js. Seeing as there was no support for this in the official package as of yet, I have gone ahead and written a package following this implementation available on github. It's called AWS-transcribe and can be found here. I hope that helps.
It provides a stream interface around the WebSocket, and can be used like the below example
import { AwsTranscribe, StreamingClient } from "aws-transcribe"

const client = new AwsTranscribe({
    // if these aren't provided, they will be taken from the environment
    accessKeyId: "ACCESS KEY HERE",
    secretAccessKey: "SECRET KEY HERE",
})

const transcribeStream = client
    .createStreamingClient({
        region: "eu-west-1",
        sampleRate,
        languageCode: "en-US",
    })
    // enums for returning the event names which the stream will emit
    .on(StreamingClient.EVENTS.OPEN, () => console.log(`transcribe connection opened`))
    .on(StreamingClient.EVENTS.ERROR, console.error)
    .on(StreamingClient.EVENTS.CLOSE, () => console.log(`transcribe connection closed`))
    .on(StreamingClient.EVENTS.DATA, (data) => {
        const results = data.Transcript.Results

        if (!results || results.length === 0) {
            return
        }

        const result = results[0]
        const final = !result.IsPartial
        const prefix = final ? "recognized" : "recognizing"
        const text = result.Alternatives[0].Transcript
        console.log(`${prefix} text: ${text}`)
    })

someStream.pipe(transcribeStream)

A: The AWS SDK V3 now supports streaming for transcribe: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-transcribe-streaming/index.html

Three-Compartment Body Composition Changes in Professional Rugby Union Players Over One Competitive Season: A Team and Individualized Approach.
The purpose of this study was to investigate longitudinal body composition of professional rugby union players over one competitive season. Given the potential for variability in changes, and as the first to do so, we conducted individual analysis in addition to analysis of group means. Thirty-five professional rugby union players from one English Premiership team (forwards: n = 20, age: 25.5 ± 4.7 years; backs: n = 15, age: 26.1 ± 4.5 years) received one total-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan at preseason (August), midseason (January) and endseason (May), enabling quantification of body mass, total and regional fat mass, lean mass, percentage tissue fat mass (%TFM) and bone mineral content (BMC). Individual analysis was conducted by applying least significant change (LSC), derived from our previously published precision data and in accordance with International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) guidelines. Mean body mass remained stable throughout the season (p > 0.05), but total fat mass and %TFM increased from pre to endseason, and mid to endseason (p < 0.05). There were also statistically significant increases in total-body BMC across the season (p < 0.05). In both groups, there was a loss of lean mass between mid and endseason (p < 0.018). Individual evaluation using LSC and Bland-Altman analysis revealed a meaningful loss of lean mass in 17 players and a gain of fat mass in 21 players from pre to endseason. Twelve players had no change and there were no differences by playing position. There were individual gains or no net changes in BMC across the season for 10 and 24 players, respectively. This study highlights the advantages of an individualised approach to DXA body composition monitoring and this can be achieved through application of derived LSC.

For instance, they successfully represented an unaccompanied minor from El Salvador in removal proceedings, preventing her from being deported. In addition, they won her approval of a special immigrant juvenile status, which allowed her to obtain permanent residence in the United States. Attorneys at Fitch Law Partners LLP have volunteered for KIND on repeated occasions, and have obtained permanent resident status for five different minors. Mr. Maycotte has been interviewed about the plight of unaccompanied immigrant minors in separate NBC News stories that focused on one of his clients.

The city is moving ahead with plans to develop a large area near the new bypass in Regina's southeast.
The idea is to fill in 690 hectares between Victoria Avenue and Arcola Avenue, and Woodland Grove Drive and the city's eastern boundary, with 17,500 people.
The plan also includes a commercial centre, industrial park, and the relocated Pacer Park baseball diamonds. It might have a new high school as well.
In addition to the larger plan, Regina Planning Commission on Wednesday approved the specific development of a section south of Victoria Avenue East that could house more than one million square feet of commercial space.
A consultant's study found in 2015 that the proposed commercial development in the southeast might outstrip demand over the next 15 years, but the city argues the vision for the area is more long-term than that. Commission member Coun. Mike O'Donnell was convinced by the developer's comments about already having commitments from companies to move to the area.
The city is reviewing an application for industrial development east of the bypass, as well.
Large-scale water and wastewater systems upgrades are required to support the entire neighbourhood, an administration report says.
As a result, the development of subdivisions in the southeast will be assessed on a case-by-case basis given how they will impact services.

Катерина Романівна Дашкова ( , за іншими джерелами 1744, Санкт-Петербург — ), уроджена Воронцова, в шлюбі — княгиня Дашкова. Подруга і сподвижниця імператриці Катерини II, учасниця державного перевороту 1762 року (після здійснення перевороту Катерина II охолола до подруги і княгиня Дашкова не грала помітної ролі в справах державного правління). Одна з помітних особистостей Російського Просвітництва. У її мемуарах знайдені важливі відомості про час правління імператора Петра III і прихід на престол Катерини II («Mon Histoire, Mémoires de la princesse Dachkoff», «Мемуари княгині Дашкової», видані в 1840 в Лондоні).

Життєпис. Походження
Походить з вельможної родини Воронцових. Її батько — Воронцов Роман Ларіонович, молодший брат російського канцлера Михайла Воронцова, пізніше граф, генерал-аншеф, намісник володимирський, пензенський, тамбовський. Мати — Марфа Іванівна Сурміна була з багатої купецької родини. Родина мала низку земель і садиб в Україні. Мати рано померла (в 26 років від тифу) і залишила сиротами п'ятеро дітей, бо батько не був схильний займатися вихованням власних дітей. Двох старших дітей Романа Воронцова імператриця Єлизавета Петрівна забрала в царський палац, синів виховував Воронцов-дід, а малу Катерину разом з єдиною власною донькою виховували в родині канцлера Михайла Воронцова. Брати Воронцови не відрізнялись чеснотами і відомі сучасникам як хабарники, а Михайло Воронцов брався за ризиковані фінансові операції заради власного збагачення.

Освіта і шлюб
Катерина отримала домашню освіту, яка для молодих панянок її стану обмежувалася навичками малювання, вивченням іноземних мов і нових танців. Вона і залишилась би на цьому рівні, аби не доба просвітництва, не мода на французьких письменників, не пристрасть до читання і пришвидшення історичного процесу в імперії. Вона — представниця нового покоління російського дворянства, що опанувало іноземні мови, залучилось до наукових знань і дожило до наказів, що звільнили російське дворянство від обов'язкової до цього служби на користь державі і від побиття. В імперії вперше виростало некаране (небите) покоління людей (але тільки серед дворянського стану).

Наближеність до імператорського двору і родинні зв'язки Воронцових відкривали перед молодою і амбітною дівчиною широкі і небачені до цього перспективи. І Катерина Воронцова ці можливості — використала.
Перш за все вона закохалася в князя Михайла Дашкова і зробила усе можливе, аби він узяв з нею шлюб, хоча нареченій було шістнадцять років. Схоже на те, що в молодій родині головувала саме Катерина. Народження дітей, смерть молодого чоловіка, раннє вдовство загартували її характер, зробили нетерплячою, рішучою, упертою і — деспотичною. Всі ці риси будуть характерні для її діяльності (родинної і державницької) і надалі.

«Революційний» період в житті
У середині 18 століття в Російській імперії зовсім інше змістове навантаження мало слово «революція». Представники дворянського стану тоді називали революціями кожний палацовий переворот, котрими була так багата історія і буденність імперії і причетність до яких мала гвардія (кістяк якої становило дрібне, неродовите дворянство). Саме завдяки підтримці гвардії на російський престол зійшла Єлизавета Петрівна. Саме цим шляхом пішла і Велика княгиня, що стане імператрицею Катериною ІІ.

Саме це слід мати на увазі про «революційний» період в житті пані Дашкової, тобто її активна участь в черговому палацовому перевороті. Цьому сприяло декілька обставин : хитрість Великої княгині, що рекрутувала собі прихильників серед російської аристократії і на яку «купилася» і Дашкова, активна позиція самої Дашкової, якій під час перевороту було лише дев'ятнадцять (19) років, нестримне бажання самої Дашкової брати участь в історичних подіях в державі тощо. Але від занадто молодої і романтично налаштованої Дашкової старанно приховали справжні важелі палацового перевороту з суттєвою підтримкою гвардії і військових, бо вона належала до родини Воронцових, яких вважали ворогами і сама Велика княгиня, і брати Орлови, головні керманичі перевороту. Трохи пізніше про це відверто писатиме сама Катерина ІІ, котрій на час перевороту було тридцять два і котра вже виробилась в політика. Політика, досить цинічного і здатного використати заради власного успіху підтримку від будь кого, навіть від представниці ворожого табору. (Вельможні Воронцови були прихильниками і родичами Єлизавети Петрівни і підтримували саме імператора Петра ІІІ, чоловіка Катерини ІІ, якого та досить вдало і швидко усунула від престолу та влади.) В листі Катерини ІІ читаємо —

З відвертого листа Катерини ІІ видно, що участь у палацовому перевороті Дашкової була незначною: про це добре знали і сама майбутня імператриця, і її діяльне й впливове оточення (три брати Орлови, Бецькой Іван Іванович тощо). Але легенда про участь Дашкової в перевороті отримала поширення і її переповів письменнику Вольтеру Шувалов Іван Іванович, який теж знав не все. Довідавшись про це, імператриця Катерина ІІ умовляла переконати уславленого французького історіографа і письменника в помилці і вивести того з непорозуміння.

Як і більшість учасників перевороту, княгиня Дашкова отримала від нової цариці нагороди і грошові суми. Чоловік (князь Михайло Дашков) отримав чин полковника і командира лейбгвардії кірасирського полку. Дашкову імператриця зробила статс-дамою і нагородила 24 000 рублів, що дорівнювало ціні всього шістсот кріпаків. Дашковим цього було мало. До того ж, родина Дашкових жила не за рахунками і мала борги приблизно у 20 000. Гроші пішли на виплату боргу і родина залишалась ні з чим. Особливо розчарованою і ображеною була княгиня Дашкова, що намагалась сама отримати військовий чин полковника гвардії (SIC !!!) і посаду в державному сенаті… Але Катерина ІІ рішуче віддала перевагу іншим.

Дві подорожі за кордоном

По смерті молодого чоловіка (він помер 1764 р.) молода вдова провела частку місяців у підмосковній садибі, а потім вирушила у невелику подорож по європейській частині імперії.

Охолодження відносин з імператрицею Катериною ІІ сприяло рішенню здійснити подорож у країни Західної Європи. Імператриця не затримувала амбітну пані в країні, і та отримала дозвіл на виїзд. У першу подорож Катерина Дашкова перебувала за кордоном три роки, відвідала низку німецьких князівств, Швейцарію, Британію, Італію, мекку тогочасного дворянства — Францію. Це сприяло удосконаленню як її виховання, так і недостатньої освіти. Серед знайомих у Парижі у неї були письменники і філософи Вольтер і Дені Дідро (листування з останнім розтяглось на декілька років).

Перебування за кордоном, клопотання про долю єдиного сина сприяло рішенню дати йому європейську освіту. В роки перебування за кордоном вдруге вона залучила до виховання сина історика Вільяма Робертсона, а син навчався в Единбурзькому університеті. Донька Катерини Дашкової мала фізичні вади і деспотична мати силоміць видала доньку заміж, вважаючи, що її доля цим остаточно вирішена.

Не кращими були і стосунки з єдиним сином. Мати і син постійно конфліктували, чому сприяли зіткнення двох дорослих характерів, не схильних на компроміси і поступки. Але за свідченнями сучасників, черства і рішуча мати замучила сина власними наказами. Все скінчиться відкритим спротивом і шлюбом сина проти волі матері. Як кожна деспотична жінка, Катерина Дашкова була цілком нещасною матір'ю, яка не розуміла власних недоліків і нічого не робила для зменшення напруги навіть в власній родині. Дашкова відмовилась бачити сина, ігнорувала його дружину. Навіть перебування в одному місті не сприяло зближенню сина і свавільної матері. Він помер 1807 року і вона прибула лише на його поховання.

Під час закордонної подорожі на відомому курорті Дашкова познайомилася з англійцями-аристократами, серед них і з містрисс Гамільтон. Двоюрідна сестра Гамільтон (міс Вільмот) на довгі роки стане компаньйонкою і приятелькою підстаркуватої княгині. Симпатії до англійців обумовили рішення відвідати Велику Британію і навіть вивчати англійську. Як мати вона наполягатиме на отриманні освіти для сина саме там.

Мадам-президент двох академій

1782 року Дашкова повернулася в Росію. Тимчасове охолодження між жінками (імператрицею Катериною та княгинею Дашковою) нібито призабулося і стосунки відновилися. Але це вже були контакт і співпраця двох подорослішавших і хитрих жінок. Катерина ІІ вже 20 років була помітною фігурою в європейській політиці, і на новому етапі зажадала використати здібності і авторитет княгині на користь парадного фасаду Російської імперії. Військові підмурки могутності Російської імперії Катерині ІІ забезпечували полководці Петро Рум'янцев-Задунайський, Олександр Суворов, її головний фаворит і «помічник» Григорій Потьомкін-Таврийський. Цивільну складову парадного фасаду імперії забезпечувала сама імператриця. Причетною до цього вона і зробила Дашкову.

1782 року Дашкову було призначено директором Санкт-Петербурзької Академії наук. 1783 року вона стала Президентом Академії Російської, основоположником якої була сама.

Цим імператриця відсувала з посади пихатого і чужого для неї Кирила Розумовського. Цікаво, що обидва вони не були науковцями, але неповороткий Кирило Розумовський відповідав цій посаді менше Дашкової, що навчалась деякий час в Московському університеті.

У цивільній політиці Катерини ІІ важливе місце посіли демонстративні турботи про виховання підлеглих та піклування про російську мову. Робилося це з міркувань завоювання імператрицею популярності в імперії і як аналоги просвітницьких ідей і ідеалів французьких філософів і письменників, причетність до яких демонструвала Катерина ІІ. У Франції надрукували Словник французької мови. Подібною метою почала опікуватись і імператриця. Вона підтримала проект оприлюднення шеститомового Словника російської мови. До роботи залучили науковців і саму Катерину Дашкову. Аби надати праці державницького значення, імператриця сприяла заснуванню в Петербурзі так званої Російської Академії, метою якої було створення означеного словника та надання тогочасній російській мові якостей літературної мови. Президентом новоствореної Російської Академії теж була призначена Воронцова-Дашкова. Так вона стала Мадам-президент двох академій. Більш помітною була її діяльність саме в Російській Академії, де Дашкова сприяла створенню новітнього словника, частку матеріалів для якого зібрала і обробила сама. На створення Словника російської мови княгиня і Академія російська витратила одинадцять років. Але наукава вартість видання була мізерною, бо тогочасна російська мова перебувала в стані бурхливого розвитку, пришвидшеного розширення лексики. Неможливою була і мета очищення російської мови від іноземних запозичень, німецьких і перш за все французьких, адже власний син Дашкової знав французьку як рідну мову, як і більшість дворянських дітей того часу. Деяка стабілізація і вироблення літературної російської мови реалізуються лише в 19 ст. Це зробили поет Олександр Пушкін і літератори його оточення, набагато пізніше по смерті Дашкової.

Більш обмеженим було її керування в Російській Академії наук, де Дашкова не була фахівцем і де приховано керувала сама імператриця. Особливо це стало помітно при створенні нового приміщення для Академії в Петербурзі, де пропозиції Дашкової проігнорували, а вибудували споруду за проектом надвірного архітектора Катерини ІІ італійця Джакомо Кваренгі, завердженого імператрицею.(Російська Академія згодом припинила існування, а її приміщення зруйнували, споруда відома лише за старими гравюрами.)

Арешт і заслання
Нове охолодження в стосунках двох вельможних дам сталося в останні роки життя Катерини ІІ. Утомлена Дашкова виклопотала собі дворічну відпустку, а потім подовжила відпустку ще на один рік. Вони більше не бачились. Звістка про смерть імператриці застала Дашкову в її садибі.

Тривогу і очікування неприємностей для себе принесли і звістки про діяльність нового російського монарха Павла. Той реабілітував пам'ять про власного батька Петра ІІІ його новим пишним похованням і приниженням всіх активних прибічників Катерини ІІ, серед яких була і Воронцова-Дашкова. Павло помстився пам'яті покійній імпператриці-матері повною руйнацією її розкішної резиденції в Пелі і покараннями її прихильників. Вже через декілька днів новий цар сповістив княгиню імператорським наказом про її звільнення з усіх державних посад. Але це був тільки початок цькування. Вона прибула в Москву, де її наздогнав новий наказ імператора відбути в садибу. В садибі її сповістили про заслання в віддалене село Коротово (неподалік сучасного Череповця). Княгиня відбула в заслання взимку разом з донькою, де мешкала після садибного палацу в брутальній селянській ізбі. Клопоти про зменшення покарання не допомагали, доки вона не звернулась до імператриці і не передала царю покаянного листа з проханням жити у власній садибі «Троїцьке».

Останні роки. Мемуари
Вона багато читала, займалася садівництвом і робила все, аби виправити погіршення матеріальних справ. Виправити справи допомогли її наполегливість, економність і чергова зміна на престолі. Новий імператор запросив її на власну коронацію, де вона була присутня як старша статс-дама. Як прихильність цар Олександр І виплатив її борг банку — 44 000. Але стару жінку вже полишали життєві сили. Вона ще спромоглася створити власні мемуари — заради наполегливих прохань міс Вільмот, що мешкала в садибі Дашкової п'ять років.

Мемуари були написані протягом одного року і були готові восени 1805 року. Копію рукопису вивезли в Англію, де оприлюднили лише в 1840 році французькою.

Смерть
Катерина Романівна померла в січні 1810 року і була похована в садибній церкві села Троїцького.

Кабінет натуральної історії і бібліотека Дашкової
Упродовж тридцяти років скупа княгиня Дашкова збирала Кабінет натуральної історії і власну бібліотеку. Навіть під час закордонної подорожі вона відрізнялась економністю і збережені гроші витрачала на придбання мінералів, творів мистецтва і книг. Власне зібрання, Кабінет натуральної історії вона, хизуючись меценатством, передасть у подарунок Московському університету. Доля зібрання була трагічною: покинутий в університеті кабінет був пограбований і знищений пожежею під час захоплення Москви вояками Наполеона І в 1812 році, як і всі інші покинуті університетські зібрання. Розкраденою була і бібліотека Дашкової.

У поруйнованому стані ще за часів СРСР перебуває і садиба «Троїцьке», де знищили палац, пейзажний парк і павільйони, в аварійному стані перебувають садибний театр і один з колишніх флігелів, які ніяк не використовуються.

Риси характеру
Спогади про княгиню залишили декілька мемуаристів. Серед них і Дені Дідро, відгук якого про російську аристократку носив компліментарний характер, бо вони були особисто знайомі і тривалий час листувалися. Дідро писав

Тривалий час в улюбленій садибі княгині Дашкової «Троїцьке» мешкала дівиця Вільмот. В одному з листів Вільмот знайшли запис

Частку фактів з реального життя княгині Дашкової взято зі спогадів міс Вільмот, подруги і компаньйонки княгині, м'які і привітні стосунки з якою заміняли авторитарній Катерині Романівні привітні стосунки з власними дітьми. Цілком точно про це висловився В. В. Огарков

Scientists Offer New Reason to Curb GHG Emissions: Prevent Pre-Emptive Attack by Space Aliens (Updated 1:25 pm)
by Marlo Lewis on August 19, 2011
in Features
No, I'm not making this up, and it's not a prank.
"A preemptive strike [by extra-terrestrials] would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilisation may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand. Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilisational expansion could be detected by an ETI [extra-terrestrial intelligence] because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions," write researchers from Pennsylvania State University and NASA* in a study entitled "Would contact with extraterrestrials benefit or harm humanity? A scenario analysis."
Science correspondent Ian Sample reviewed the study yesterday in the UK Guardian. A pearl from his article:
"Green" aliens might object to the environmental damage humans have caused on Earth and wipe us out to save the planet. "These scenarios give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems. It would be particularly important for us to limit our emissions of greenhouse gases, since atmospheric composition can be observed from other planets," the authors write.
Sample shows these speculations the proper respect by posting this picture at the top of his article:
Clearly, the IPPC climate impact assessments are too "conservative" and global warming poses a bigger threat than scientists previously predicted.
The only point I would add to Sample's knee-slapper of a review is that the "green alien" scienario made its Hollywood debut in the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves.
In the original 1951 film, Klaatu and his robot Gort come to Earth to deliver an ultimatum: Mankind must end the nuclear arms race and abandon its warlike ways or Earth will be destroyed. In the remake, Klaatu and Gort come to rescue plant and animal species endangered by global warming and to exterminate mankind as punishment for our fuelish ways. Gort pulverizes our fossil-fueled industrial infrastructure and is on the verge of wiping out humanity when Klaatu, moved by the beauty and purity of heart of astrobiologist Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly), dies instead for our sins of emission.
* NASA is apparently taking some heat — or at least some good natured ribbing — for this paper. [click to continue…]

Julio Jones wife: Meet his girlfriend, Jasmin Villegas
By NY
Julio Jones bio
Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones Jr. is a wide receiver with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. The Atlanta Falcons selected him from Alabama's NCAA football program in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He is regarded as one of the best receivers of the 2010s.
In Foley, Alabama, on February 8, 1989, Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones was born. Jones' father abandoned him when he was just 5 years old, so his mother, Queen Marvin, raised him and his brother alone.
Jasmine Villegas is now dating Julio Jones. She is a professional singer and frequently joins the sportsman at NBA games. Additionally, she is well-known as the stage name Jasmine V.
The vocalist joined Dame Dash Music Group when she was 12 years old. Likewise, she signed with R.C.A. records when she was 16 before signing with Interscope Records and Ester Dean's Eye Know a Secret (E.K.A.S.) records.
Whether or not the pair's connection is official is unknown to us, and we are unable to confirm it. However, the internet erupted when the couple went to an NBA game together. The NFL player has claimed in interviews that he is single.
