After 2001 whenever I hear a plane flying over my shoulders cringe and I feel worried. Panic sets in and I try to find the plane overhead. I can't help it. The attack was so real to me and I didn't know anyone that was on any of those planes. People watched their tv for weeks and I'm sure there are others that still worry. The terrorist attack changed how America views the government and our own safety in our borders. I still believe in our government, we are free.
Reading National Security MOM opened my eyes to my fears. When we live our life in fear the terrorists win. We need to be strong and independent and live without fear as we are trying to teach our children the same things. They model our behaviors and we should live the principles we wish to instill in them. I love the title of Chapter Sixteen and I'm going to quote it. "We must be the change we wish to see".
Gina M. Bennett writes from her experience as a government employee working against terrorism for 20 years while raising her family for 15 of those years she kept them separate. Now looking back she sees them as the same.
National Security MOM is separated into three sections. Section one is called Redefining Security: a parents perspective, Section two is called What we teach our kids is good advice for America, and the Third Section is called The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
our nation strong and secure.
imagines a day when our children are America's leaders.
Well, before I give you a dissertation about the book I better stop. You can purchase this book National Security Mom I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Interesting Read.
I am glad I had this opportunity and even happier to say that I can offer one of my readers Everything We Need to Know About National Security We Can Learn From Our Kids.

I've been teaching her to share with her brother. There are things I don't want her to give her brother, like paper and grapes. He could choke, so I have to tell her don't give that to your brother. So she says, "Mommy, I share! Then she says, Mommy share!" It was so cute and I was at a loss for words.

2012-06-09 WikiLeaks News Update: Bradley Manning's motion hearings; U.S. Government's leak hypocrisy
2012-06-07 Renewed call to support Julian Assange
On May 30, the UK Supreme Court ruled in favor of Julian Assange's extradition to Sweden, five to two. But Mr Assange's lawyer Dinah Rose QC - as an act of quick thinking which earned her The Guardian's "star of the week" - raised a point which was able to delay his extradition and potentially reopen the case as a whole. Since the decision was based on interpretation of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties - something not brought up during the February proceedings - Ms Rose argued that the defence hadn't the chance to properly contest the point.
Mr Assange's legal team has until June 13 to make an application on this matter. The Supreme Court will then decide whether or not to reopen the case. If reopened, the court will accept more submissions, either in document form or via further hearings. If not, the ruling will stand and Mr Assange will be extradited to Sweden within 10 days.
Julian Assange has spent over 550 days in detainment without charge. Sweden wishes to extradite him solely for the purpose of questioning, yet denies all offers to question him in the UK, despite it being completely legal to do so.
His battle is far from over and people around the world must continue to stand up and support him.
For further reading see Per E Samuelson's "Julian Assange's concerns are justified" (English translation here) and WSWS's "Defend Julian Assange".
2012-06-06 Letter to Prime Minister Gillard on Julian Assange from the Newcastle Trades Hall Council
The Hon Julia Gillard MP
CANBERRA ACT 2600 4 June 2012
Dear Prime Minister
RE: JULIAN ASSANGE
Regrettably we feel compelled to write to you about the plight of Mr Assange.
2012-06-06 Transcript: Julian Assange on LNL Radio -- What's next?
Julian Assange interviewed on Late Night Live Radio, 6 June 2012. Full audio is available via the RadioNational website.
Phillip Adams: Good day, beloved listeners. Last night on this little wireless program, I was talking to Shapiro about the Obama kill-list. It's pretty dangerous being deemed an enemy of the American people these days, because at any moment a drone will come in and take you out. And of course tonight we've learned that another member of Bin Laden Proprietary Limited has been killed by one of those precision attacks. I think if I was Julian Assange, I'd be more concerned with a drone attack than with mere extradition, but let's see how Julian is feeling at this time of, well, endless strife. Julian, who's talking to us from his hideout in the English countryside where he's under house arrest, joins us on the program. How are you coping with this incredible stress level?

2012-05-31 Understanding the Supreme Court verdict in Julian Assange's case
Mainstream media around the world has been plastered with headlines stating Julian Assange's impending extradition to Sweden. But the ruling is far more complicated than that, and the case currently has the potential of being reopened. This is nearly unprecedented, as Britain has not reopened a case since Pinochet in 1999.
2012-05-31 How the UK's Supreme Court is wrong on the Julian Assange Appeal
Submitted by Peter Kemp on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 12:54
Notwithstanding the clear UK meaning of 'judicial authority' to mean a magistrate, judge or court; notwithstanding that Parliamentary debates and reading speeches reiterated that definition; notwithstanding the primacy of the UK parliament to enact law for effect in the UK; notwithstanding the Framework Agreement using the same word(s) in an official English version of it as the Extradition Act: the Supreme Court (decided cases) has stated by majority that parliamentarians were conned because an obscure Convention gives a contrary, minority meaning.

2012-05-30 UK Supreme Court rules against Assange appeal
Submitted by M on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 05:52
Today at approximately 09:20AM the UK Supreme Court ruled against Julian Assange, upholding the European Arrest Warrant which orders his extradition to Sweden. Mr Assange's battle against extradition has so far spanned 540 days, 530 of which he spent electronically tagged under house arrest, the other 10 held in solitary confinement. He has not been charged with any crime and is being extradited solely for the purpose of questioning.
2012-05-29 Four days after Julian Assange verdict, US Secretary Clinton to visit Sweden
It is the first bilateral visit to Sweden by a US Secretary of State in a long time, Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt writes, as he wishes a warm welcome to US Secretary Hillary Clinton who will arrive in the country just 4 days after Britain's Supreme Court announces its decision on whether Julian Assange is to be extradited to Sweden.
The announcement of Clinton's visit to Sweden, which will center around the subjects of "Internet freedom, green energy, Afghanistan and the Middle East", as well as other broad topics such as democracy and counter-terrorism, took place just 3 days after the Supreme Court published a date for Julian Assange's verdict to be issued. (The Supreme Court published the date of its judgment on May 23, Secretary Clinton's visit was announced on May 26.)

2012-05-27 A petition to Nick Clegg on behalf of Julian Assange
Submitted by JohnSmith on Sun, 05/27/2012 - 20:42
Foreword: On Sunday 27 May 2012, Swedish state media again attacked Julian Assange, this time in an attempt to link him to an unrelated ongoing murder investigation and to blame him for the difficulties Swedish authorities have had in their investigation.
This latest attack shows how thoroughly Swedish state media are biased against him and how public opinion has been poisoned against him, to the extent it's now inconceivable he can receive a fair trial.
We urge our readers to write to Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and bring this to his attention, to ask him to act to protect Julian from unfair extradition. A template letter is provided below - it's based on an earlier petition published by Justice for Assange.
2012-05-27 Swedish state media grasps at straws to smear Assange with link to murder case
Sunday 27 May 2012 Stockholm: Swedish state radio attempted early this morning to lay the blame for difficulties in the ongoing investigation of an unrelated Swedish murder case on Julian Assange.
Their article published online attempts to claim Assange is obstructing the course of justice by appealing his case before the UK Supreme Court and that killers pursued by Swedish authorities might go free as a result of a ruling in his favour.
2012-05-25 Will the European Arrest Warrant system set a dangerous precedent?
Submitted by Graham on Fri, 05/25/2012 - 15:40
On 30 May 2012 the UK Supreme Court will announce the ruling in the case regarding the extradition to Sweden of Julian Assange, after Assange has spent 540 days under house arrest without charge. Following a European Arrest Warrant issued in December 2010 on allegations of sexual misconduct, Assange submitted himself for arrest. Though Assange has not been charged, Swedish prosecutors have sought extradition from the UK for questioning.

The Latest Support Offerings for UK Exporters
GTR UK 2021 Virtual Conference
On June 30, 2021, Mark Norris moderated a panel, "The Latest Support Offerings for UK Exporters," at GTR 's UK 2021 Virtual Conference.
It's been a busy time at UK Export Finance, with a range of offerings made available to help British exporters navigate challenging headwinds. This special session looked more closely at a number of new facilities that have been set up and made available, whilst also considering the wider future of the ECA market under OECD guidelines, at a time when support for exporters has never been more needed. The session also looked at two case studies: General Export Facility (GEF) and the Standard Buyer Loan Guarantee (SBLG).

Camila Cabello Reveals When She Started Having Feelings For Shawn Mendes

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes may have only started officially dating over the summer, but their romance started percolating long before this year. In fact, they were all up in their feelings when they joined forces to write "I Know What You Did Last Summer" — and that was in 2015!
The "Living Proof" singer recently confessed to Rolling Stone the moment when she started developing feelings for her now-beau. "I really bonded with him as more than a friend. I think he did, too, but we were both really young, and he was experiencing the pressures of his career. I don't think we knew what to do with those feelings," she said about those writing sessions. "It was this awkward thing where we both liked each other, but we weren't together. It was just weird. An energy was there from the beginning, but after that song, we didn't spend as much time together."
Cabello went on to date Matthew Hussey for 18 months, but love finds a way and not long after calling it quits with the YouTube star things fell into place with Mendes. The two have since fallen head over heels for each other and even got tattoos together recently.

DeepGreen, Developer of the World's Largest Estimated Resource of Battery Metals for EVs, to Combine with Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation
Transaction combines the first ESG-focused SPAC with a developer of the world's largest and highest-grade estimated source of electric vehicle (EV) battery metals that are expected to be produced at low cost with dramatically reduced social and environmental impact
Pro forma equity value of the combined company is expected to be approximately US$2.9 billion. Upon closing, the combined company will operate as The Metals Company and is expected to be listed under the ticker TMC
The combined company is expected to have approximately US$570 million in cash, assuming no redemptions, as part of the business combination, facilitating plans for The Metals Company to start commercial production of battery metals as soon as 2024
The transaction includes an upsized US$330 million fully committed common stock Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") at US$10.00 per share, anchored by an international consortium of strategic and institutional investors, including Allseas, adding to the list of existing strategic investors such as Maersk Supply Service and Glencore
DALLAS, Texas & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeepGreen Metals Inc., a developer of lower-impact battery metals from unattached seafloor polymetallic nodules, today announced that it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SOAC), a special purpose acquisition company with a dedicated ESG focus and deep operational and capital market capabilities in the energy and resource sectors. The transaction represents a pro forma equity value of US$2.9 billion (assuming no redemptions) for the combined company, which will be renamed "TMC the metals company Inc." and operate as The Metals Company upon closing.
Responsibly Sourcing Battery Metals to Address Looming Critical Shortage for EV Supply Chain
DeepGreen is developing a new, scalable source of EV battery metals in the form of polymetallic nodules found unattached on the seafloor in the Pacific Ocean. The estimated resource on the seafloor in the exploration contract areas held by the company's subsidiaries is sufficient for 280 million EVs – a quarter of the global passenger car fleet. The development of this resource offers an abundant, low-cost supply of critical raw materials for EV batteries and wiring including nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese, with a lower lifecycle ESG impact than conventional mining. Ensuring this critical supply of battery metals is essential to the transition from internal combustion engines to EVs, which faces the following risks:
A slump in discovery of new metal deposits is widely expected to lead to shortages in key metals such as nickel and copper from 2024-2025 onwards;
Rising raw materials prices risk undermining EV manufacturers' efforts to drive down the cost of EV batteries necessary for mass adoption;
Like fossil fuel extraction, conventional metals extraction comes at a steep cost to people and the planet, leading to vast deforestation in some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. This is generating the world's largest industrial waste stream and gigatons of emissions, poisoning ecosystems and people's health, and driving potential labor exploitation including child labor.
The combined company's ambition is to become the world's largest developer and producer of EV battery metals through a responsible approach with the lowest lifecycle ESG impact and low production cost.
"Sourcing battery metals is the biggest hurdle facing the clean energy transition, and the pipeline of new mining projects on land is insufficient to meet rising demand," said Scott Leonard, CEO of SOAC. "We looked at over 100 companies, many of them in the EV and renewable energy space. DeepGreen stands above the rest. It offers a real, scalable solution to the raw materials problem, at a low production cost and with a significant reduction in the ESG footprint of metals. Assuming full-scale production, we expect The Metals Company to be among the lowest cost nickel producers in the world.
"We are convinced that The Metals Company is the ultimate answer to our thorough search for meaningful ESG impacts combined with tremendous financial upside."
Gerard Barron, DeepGreen Chairman and CEO, said: "We are excited to partner with SOAC, an ESG-driven team that does not shy away from tough problems. The reality is that the clean energy transition is not possible without taking billions of tons of metal from the planet. Seafloor nodules offer a way to dramatically reduce the environmental bill of this extraction. We are getting into this industry with a deep commitment to ocean health and a clear stop date in mind. The plan is simple: produce better metals to supply the EV transition, while building up enough metal stock to stop extracting from the planet and enable society to live off recycled metals."
Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation, which currently holds over US$300 million in trust, will combine with DeepGreen Metals Inc. Upon closing, DeepGreen will be renamed to operate as The Metals Company and is expected to begin trading under the ticker symbol TMC.
The transaction reflects a pro forma equity value for TMC of approximately US$2.9 billion (assuming no redemptions) and enterprise value of US$2.4 billion, representing an enterprise value to EBITDA of 1.2x as measured on the company's estimated 2027 EBITDA of approximately US$2 billion, and a price to net asset value ("NAV") of 0.35x as measured on the exploration area of the company's subsidiary, NORI-D, with potential substantial upside as the full resource is developed.
The transaction includes an upsized US$330 million fully committed common stock Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") at US$10.00 per share, anchored by an international consortium of strategic and institutional investors, including Allseas, adding to the list of existing strategic investors such as Maersk Supply Service and Glencore.
The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both DeepGreen and SOAC, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021 and is subject to the approval of SOAC's and DeepGreen's shareholders and other customary closing conditions, including a registration statement being declared effective by the SEC.
The transaction will be implemented by a Plan of Arrangement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and is subject to Court approval.
The combined company will continue to be led by Gerard Barron, DeepGreen Chairman and CEO. Scott Leonard, CEO of SOAC, will join the board of The Metals Company.
DeepGreen through its subsidiaries has exploration rights to the world's largest private resource of unattached polymetallic nodules and has made significant progress on project development, including: attracting world-class strategic partners and investors; completing 10 resource definition and environmental campaigns to its exploration areas in the Pacific Ocean; the expected piloting of the offshore nodule collector system together with Allseas next year; and completing a zero-solid-waste pilot processing plant program with Hatch, FLSmidth and Glencore this year. DeepGreen is also participating in a multi-year environmental and social impact assessment, in partnership with some of the world's top ocean scientists, to minimize risks for all stakeholders and comprehensively assess the impact of collecting nodules from the ocean floor. This business combination will provide the new entity, The Metals Company, with the capital required to get through a feasibility study and into potential revenue as early as 2024, when many analysts anticipate nickel and copper shortages from current sources.
Additional information about the proposed transaction, including a copy of the Business Combination Agreement and an investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov and on DeepGreen's website at www.deep.green. Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation intends to file a registration statement (that will contain a proxy statement/prospectus) with the SEC in connection with this transaction.

In connection with the proposed business combination, SOAC intends to file a Registration Statement on Form S-4, including a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and a definitive proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC. SOAC's shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination, as these materials will contain important information about DeepGreen, SOAC, and the proposed business combination. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed business combination will be mailed to shareholders of SOAC as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference therein, without charge, once available, at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Investors@soa-corp.com.
Participants in the Solicitation
SOAC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from SOAC's shareholders with respect to the business combination.

Use of Projections and Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains projected financial information with respect to the combined company, namely DeepGreen's projected EBITDA for future years. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information and is for illustrative purposes only, and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this press release, and the inclusion of such information in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. The independent auditors of DeepGreen have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this press release, and accordingly, did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this press release. Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. DeepGreen believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to DeepGreen's financial condition and results of operations. DeepGreen believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. DeepGreen's method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and DeepGreen does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in DeepGreen's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management intends to present non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. DeepGreen is not providing a reconciliation of projected EBITDA for future years to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because DeepGreen is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, DeepGreen is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. SOAC's and DeepGreen's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, SOAC and DeepGreen's expectations with respect to future performance, development of its estimated resources of battery metals, potential regulatory approvals, and anticipated financial impacts and other effects of the proposed business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed business combination, the timing of the completion of the proposed business combination, and the size and potential growth of current or future markets for the combined company's supply of battery metals. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside SOAC's and DeepGreen's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SOAC and DeepGreen following the announcement of the business combination agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the proposed business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of SOAC and DeepGreen, certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the business combination agreement; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; the impact of COVID-19 on DeepGreen's business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed business combination; the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company's shares on NYSE or Nasdaq following the proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the commercial and technical feasibility of seafloor polymetallic nodule mining and processing; the supply and demand for battery metals; the future prices of battery metals; the timing and content of ISA's exploitation regulations that will create the legal and technical framework for exploitation of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion Clipperton Zone; government regulation of deep seabed mining operations and changes in mining laws and regulations; environmental risks; the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures and requirements for additional capital; cash flow provided by operating activities; unanticipated reclamation expenses; claims and limitations on insurance coverage; the uncertainty in mineral resource estimates; the uncertainty in geological, hydrological, metallurgical and geotechnical studies and opinions; infrastructure risks; and dependence on key management personnel and executive officers; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of SOAC for its initial public offering and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination, including those under "Risk Factors" therein, and in SOAC's other filings with the SEC. SOAC and DeepGreen caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. SOAC and DeepGreen caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. SOAC and DeepGreen do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
This press release shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed business combination. This press release shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Dover to Folkestone railway will reopen this autumn
A £39.8m project to rebuild the line between Folkestone and Dover will be completed this autumn, Network Rail has confirmed.
Work to repair and rebuild the railway has been taking place since December 2015, when the line had to be closed after it became severely damaged.
Engineers are working to build a new 235 metre-long viaduct, supported by 134 concrete columns. The work is ahead of schedule and Network Rail is working towards completing the project in the autumn.
Network Rail's area director, Paul Rutter said: "We understand the impact of this closure has had on passengers, and our engineers have been working round the clock to finish the repairs and get trains running again between Dover and Folkestone.
"We had set aside time for interruptions to the project through bad weather and other issues which can occur on major projects, but so far that contingency has not proved necessary. As a result we are much further ahead than we had expected and have seen the overall cost of the project decrease.
"As soon as we have a firm date for reopening the railway line, we will let passengers know."
Network Rail's senior programme manager, Steve Kilby, said: "This project has been a challenging one and normally a scheme of this size would take two years to design and build. We are very proud of everyone's commitment to get this line open as soon as possible.
"We would like to thank passengers and our neighbours for their patience while work has been carried out to rebuild the railway at Dover."
Richard Dean, Southeastern's Train Service's Director, said the company was currently working hard on a developing a new timetable to account for the re-opening of the line over the Dover sea wall.
He added: "I know passengers have found it difficult since the partial collapse of the sea wall severed the track we run our trains on at Dover. I would like to thank them for their patience.
"We put in place replacement buses, shuttle train services and a comprehensive compensation package for season ticket holders as the damage to the wall meant we were unable to run a full service.
"It is very good news that Network Rail's engineers say they are confident the work will be finished in the autumn, much earlier than the December date originally predicted, as the earlier we can provide the full service our passengers need the better. Network Rail's engineers have worked around the clock and the progress made is remarkable."
MP for Dover and Deal Charlie Elphicke said: "This is great news for Dover & Deal. The works are clearly ahead of schedule. Rail travellers and our whole community are set to benefit. I am looking forward to the line reopening and am incredibly optimistic that this date may now come sooner rather than later.
"Many congratulations to Network Rail and Costain on the incredible job they have done so far. This is a timely reminder of how great our nation is at large scale civil engineering works as we embark on the next stage of our national journey."

Q: Python Unittest for function with input file and output file I have a python function which I would like to make an automated test system for it. My function required an input file and will generate output file. I generated lots of test input and output files but its annoying to chech test files one by ones manually. Is there a way to do it in a completely automated way?
I used the following code for checking each test file but it's not automated.

import unittest
from mask import load
import io

class TestInterval(unittest.TestCase):
    def testinterval(self):
        input_path = "test10.txt.gz"
        output_path = "test_run.txt"
        column_name = "PCT"
        min_percent = 0.85
        max_depth = 100
        test_out = "test10_out.txt"
        load(column_name, input_path, output_path, min_percent, max_depth)
        self.assertListEqual(
            list(io.open(test_out)),
            list(io.open(output_path)))

That life in a modern democracy brings?
Or make a plan, maybe set a goal to pay that national debt?
Pay for our government services? No way!
Thing called inflation, which is why penny candy costs a quarter today.
So what we gonna do to stem that rising tide?
*The debt was 13 trillion when I wrote the song, 14 trillion by the time I recorded it, and has grown considerably since.
As with many of my songs, this one came out of a challenge from a colleague. "Tim, you've written songs about most fields of science," a teacher friend said. "Botany, zoology, astronomy, even boogers; but never a song about economics." That got me thinking. While we were discussing ideas, a six-year-old girl (my friend was teaching first grade) pointed out that I had also never written a song with a llama in it. I had to hang my head in shame, for this was true.
I wrote "National Debt" before the Common Core standards for math came along and made a big deal about mathematical practices along with computation, but the song works pretty well for those standards (see below). Note that numbers in the trillions are nowhere specified in the K-8 standards, but I find that bringing in really huge numbers from time to time is a great way to emphasize the fundamental nature of base-ten mathematics. And the debt is certainly huge.
Now a personal rant about math and the arts. Math, at its core, is a tightly connected series of strictly defined generalizations and metaphors, i.e. the very useful idea that seven apples have something important in common with seven minivans. The arts, of course, are all about metaphor. In the case of inconceivably large numbers (how do you wrap your brain around trillions, really?), I contend that the ONLY way to grasp them is in terms of metaphor.
And yes, I did calculate how many years you'd have to be burning a $100 bill every second, how much money for each inch of the Earth's diameter, etc. Actually, that's not true; I made my 4th grade students do all that work. Like I always tell my students, I don't actually do any work here: I'm a teacher.
M4.NBT.1. Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division. Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
CA.SS4.5.1. Discuss what the U.S. Constitution is and why it is important (i.e., a written document that defines the structure and purpose of the U.S. government and describes the shared powers of federal, state, and local governments).
M5.NBT. Understand the place value system. 1: Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. 2: Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
M5.G.5.2. Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
CA.SS5.7.3. Understand the fundamental principles of American constitutional democracy, including how the government derives its power from the people and the primacy of individual liberty.
CA.SS5.7.4. Understand how the Constitution is designed to secure our liberty by both empower ing and limiting central government and compare the powers granted to citizens, Congress, the president, and the Supreme Court with those reserved to the states.
M6.RP. Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
M7.RP. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
M.8.F. Use functions to model relationships between quantities.
M.8.EE.1. Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.
CA.SS8.2.6. Enumerate the powers of government set forth in the Constitution and the fundamental liberties ensured by the Bill of Rights.
MP #2: Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations… creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them.
MP #4: Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.
E, A, B, E7, A7, B7. You can leave out the 7th's if you find them too difficult.

On Monday evening, I cannot resist the urge to purchase a few things online from thinkgeek.com. Slogan teeshirts, Star Trek lapel pins, you get the idea. Tragic, I know.
After three days of correspondence, this is the email I've just sent to their customer services people. Be warned: it's like trying to buy illegal firearms or something.
Just so you know, the other option I received was to fax my bill to them. I was also instructed that any email attachment must be less than 500kb or it would be rejected by their email system.
Not sure these dudes qualify as bona fide geeks.
I send you a statement from our internet service provider with my home address on it.
I send you a statement from my mobile phone provider showing the same billing address as my credit card.
Attach it to an email and send it to you so that you can verify my identity?
Is this what I really need to do to obtain approval for my transaction? This is a genuine question to which I expect a reply.
On a related note, why didn't your original email back three days ago specify the explicit instructions you only found the need to share with me after two attempts on my part?
Please be kind enough to send me a non-automated response to this email. I have now spent more time trying to respond correctly to your increasingly demanding verification emails than I did shopping on your website. The stuff you sell is really not that important to me.
This is what happens when the contents of my address book converge: articulate pedants clash horns with highly-numerate engineers, with the philosophical questions answered by a classic Aussie.
When your screen is white, be it an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when it's black it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking into account the huge number of page views. According to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.
In a response to this article Heap Media in Sydney created a black version of the Google search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but with lower energy consumption. Regardless of whether the above is true, I think it looks good. Check it out.
Use laptops; half the power.
Oooh I like that. It's as if Michael Mann has created his own search engine.
And once I'd turned on all the lights in the office I found it wasn't that spooky to use at all!
Anyway, for those of us who "studied" in arts faculties: what does 750 mega watts/hours per year actually mean?
2. something relating to an area the size of Wales.
750,000,000Watts/Hour = 2,700,000,000,000,000 Joules of electricity.
One cup (assume 200ml of "liquid") takes 68,650.4 Joules of electricity…. (heating water from an assumed 18C (room temperature) to 100C and then immediately switching off….).
This corresponds to 39,329,705 cups of tea (approximately)….
Naturally, this f*****g number would go down in Ireland at the moment (as it's bleeding freezing here right now). And anyway, why not use the water to make Guinness? That would be way more eco friendly!
Thanks for the science Joe. Much appreciated.
Does anyone know how many Olympic-sized swimming pools this equates to?
How much energy has been used up answering Nick's questions?
Don't know…. But if the pool was filled with Tea at boiling point it might make setting any long distance world record a bit difficult… but you would start off at a scalding rate….
Would the winner be presented with a trophy?
Forget about tea. That's for poms in cold climates. Here in Oz we'd rather equate it to more appealing currency such as crates of Foster's Lager. It converts to 6,350 crates of cold fresh beer. That's a mighty strong case for change.
I came across something really interesting on another blog today.
www.bibliocook.com is a great food blog by a woman in Dublin. Following her link to www.thehappysorceress.blogspot.com, I have signed up for Blogging by Mail.
Food bloggers from all over the world swap treats and baked good, recipes and more, sending care packages to new friends. Cookies, breads, preserves, condiments, teas and coffees, music, cookbooks, photos…anything you want.
Everyone who joins is paired up with a swap partner to whom they'll send a package.
I'll keep you posted on the outcome!
The equivalent Aussie terminology for "like O'Connell Street/Piccadilly" is "as busy as Bourke Street Mall". Of course, as soon as Aly and Mena pointed this out to me, I remembered it.
Another great phrase I heard in a meeting today (I had to stop the meeting to ask the context!) was "get a guernsey". The bloke was talking about something being put onto an "urgent" list by a government department, and said we wouldn't know until later in the month whether it got a guernsey.
Apparently, it comes from getting a place on the footy team, i.e. you are definitely on the team so they give you the guernsey (jersey/shirt) but you still don't know if you will get to play in the game.
Another thing I have noticed is the water in the car for washing the windscreen. Back in Ireland or England you have to remember to top up the washer water fairly frequently, especially in winter. There is nothing worse than driving through winter rain in bad traffic with mud flying everywhere, and running out of water for the washer.
We have been here almost exactly nine months, and bought a car two weeks after we arrived. I have not topped up the washer water once. The car was serviced one time and maybe the man topped it up then, but one would expect the reservoir to empty a lot more than that. It just doesn't really rain a lot here, and when it does, it doesn't seem to turn into a mudbath.
I mean, I haven't washed the (white) car all winter and I reckon it will be a month or two before it really needs cleaning.
Broadband internet here is less than 10% the speed of Europe. It's almost quaint waiting for pages to load. That means for every minute it takes you in the UK or Ireland to download something, it takes almost two hours here. Perhaps not so quaint.


This large CHROME DOG MONEY BANK is made out of glazed ceramic with a metallic mirror finish. The hi-gloss, electroplated finish with a pop of color is a total winner. Cool as a balloon sculpture on your desk or shelf, but it also doubles as a bank! There is a coin slot on top & a rubber plug on it's belly to remove the stash!
Add a piece of colorful Art to your home..

I am so excited to document this homebirth. Maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow morning. Maybe three weeks from now. But I am officially on-call and filled with the excitement and anticipation that comes every time I photograph a birth story. You'd think I was the one giving birth, that's how antsy I get when my Mama clients' due date ranges roll around. Eep!
Bethany reminds me a lot of myself. And hey, we even have the same primary Midwife, Stacia Proefrock from Trillium Birth Services in Ann Arbor. She had her first baby in a hospital and then chose to deliver at home for her second. When I was hanging out with this family during their pregnancy shoot, I just kept looking at little Evie and picturing when my son was about her age as we were about to welcome his little sister into the world. Being home for the birth (though she may be counting sheep like my little dude was through most of my late night laboring) during the labor and delivery of her little sibling will be such a neat experience for her and I love that she will be able to look back at the photos I take and see what a strong and awesome mother she has. Bethany also had a few things to say about taking pride in her pregnant body. Her confidence is pretty damn inspiring, eh? Love this chick.
"Because I am greatly passionate about this whole birthing process, I not only want to capture this experience for our own personal reflection but to celebrate it in its fullness. I want to capture the marks I bear, the weight I've gained and the shape in which my body has changed. These are often looked bad upon and because of that I want to remind myself, and anyone who comes in contact with these photos, to embrace these changes....you created human life! Capturing the rawness, beauty, intimacy, and the over all realness in the stillness of photographs speaks volumes to the truly amazing process of birthing. Celebrate! Because there is nothing greater than the power of a birthing woman!"

Friends visit to Torres Vedras 19-21 October 2018
On the weekend of 19-21 October, a group of 17 from the Friends visited Torres Vedras.
On the Friday, following a briefing by Mark Thompson, the group had dinner at a local restaurant with the Mayor of Torres Vedras, Carlos Bernardes. We then attended a very enjoyable orchestral concert by the volunteer firefighters from the city.
Saturday morning, we were officially welcomed by the Mayor at the city hall and given the opportunity to try the new Licor de Vinho, Linhas de Torres Vedras. We then visited fort São Vicente and the new Interpretation Centre there. Next stop was Mount Socorro to take in the magnificent views across the Lines.
Lunch was taken at Quinta da Povoa, which was the headquarters of General Spencer during the occupation of the Lines in 1810-11. Our host, Gonçalo Vasconcellos Guisado, showed us round his fascinating home, provided an excellent meal and an opportunity to try the 'Old Nosey' pear tonic.
Saturday afternoon was spent at fort Alqueidão where a historical re-enactment was staged. Also, during this visit the Friends and the ROTA made each other honorary members of their groups.
On Saturday evening, we attended the dinner to celebrate Lines of Torres Vedras Day which was held in a marquee in fort São Vicente. The food and the entertainment were excellent. Our host for the night from the City council was Ana Umbelino. Also, in attendance was ex-MP Antonio Rodrigues who was central to the official recognition of the Lines of Torres Vedras Day.
On Sunday, we visited two vineyards managed by one of our members, José João Climaco Melicias (Vitiscape). Our thanks to José for his interesting talk on the vineyards and the wine trade and also for the wine tasting in beautiful settings.
Our visit was a great success and the weather was fine and warm throughout. We would like to express our thanks to the Mayor for his support and attention. We would also like to thank; our guide on Saturday, Paulo Gomes; Ricardo Lopes who made most of the local arrangements and not least, our driver for the weekend, Carlos Antunes from West Shuttle.
A group of 17 people from the Friends of the Lines of Torres Vedras are going to celebrate Lines of Torres Vedras Day. We will spend Saturday visiting the Lines and will attend the official dinner on Saturday evening in Torres Vedras. I am looking forward to the visit. Most of us are flying out from the UK on Friday. Perhaps we will see some of you over the weekend.

Millewa A Steam Pumping Station
Panorama of the Millewa A Steam Pumping Station on the Murray River, Murray Sunset National Park, Victoria, Australia.
Millewa A Pumping Station is the last operational wood fired steam driven Victorian built pump on the Murray River. Situated at Lock 9 the pumping station can be reached via unsealed road from Lake Cullulleraine. The pumping station was constructed in 1927 and formed part of an irrigation system which supplied water to 462 soldier settler farms once a year. Water supply was limited to the winter months because 95% of the water evaporated in over 1,000 kilometres of open channels.
