The Pak 43 (Panzerabwehrkanone 43 and Panzerjägerkanone 43) was a German 88 mm anti-tank gun developed by Krupp in competition with the Rheinmetall 8.8 cm Flak 41 anti-aircraft gun and used during World War II. The Pak 43 was the most powerful anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht to see service in significant numbers, also serving in modified form as the 8.8 cm KwK 43 main gun on the Tiger II tank, to the open-top Nashorn, and fully enclosed, casemate-hulled Elefant and Jagdpanther tank destroyers.
The improved 8.8 cm gun was fitted with a semi-automatic vertical breech mechanism that greatly reduced recoil. It could also be fired electrically while on its wheels. It had a very flat trajectory out to 914 m (1,000 yd), making it easier for the gunner to hit targets at longer ranges as fewer corrections in elevation were needed. In addition to this, the gun's exceptional penetration performance made it able to frontally penetrate any Allied tank to see service during the war at long ranges, even the Soviet IS-2 tanks and IS chassis-based tank destroyers. The gun's maximum firing range exceeded 15 kilometers (9 miles).

The 12.8 cm Pak 44 L/55 (Panzerabwehrkanone) was a German heavy anti-tank gun used during World War II. It was designed as a result of experiences on the Eastern front in 1943. The German army came upon the Russian 122 mm guns and issued a requirement for a similar weapon. Development initially concentrated on a field gun known as the Kanone K 44. However, once heavier Russian armor, such as the IS-2, started to appear the design requirements were altered to include an anti-armor role.
The Pak 44 had short to the medium-range performance similar to the 8.8 cm Pak 43, but the 12.8 cm Pak 44 better maintained its anti-tank performance over long to extreme-long ranges (1800–2700+ meters) while also doubling as an effective field gun when firing HE.

Seville Cathedral: El Patio de los Naranjos
An aerial view of El Patio de los Naranjos
This area is the old courtyard or inner court (=patio) of the Almohad mosque. It is reached by the Puerta del Perdon, a portal with an entrance arch still preserving its Almohad shape, that of a pointed horseshoe arch. Its plaster decoration was carried out by Bartolomé López in 1522.
The large gates which shut off the enclosure also date from Almohad times as does the decoration of large bronze plates with which they are covered. Their large Almohad doorknockers are of excepcional quality and are enhanced by an elaborate decoration of plant motifs (=ataurique). It should be noted that these doorknockers are exact reproductions of the originals forming part of the cathedral theasure.
The front of the Puerta del Perdón was refurbished in 1520 and decorated with a group of terracotta sculptures by the sculptor Miguel Florentin. This artist made the images of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on the sides, the Virgin and Gabriel the Archangel above those mentioned before, and the great relief of the cleansing of the Temple above the arch of the gate.
The patio, the former shan of the mosque, was altered considerably in the course of successive restorations, although its original structure can still be seen in the pillars supporting pointed horseshoe arches. In its centre there is a modern fountain taking the place of the former sabil. Howevwe, the upper basin of this fountain is Visigothic, and it was part of the original Almohad fountain where the Seville Muslims may have performed their ablutions before entering the mosque.
Originally the patio had three galleries of which only two are preserved since that on the western side has disappeared as it was demolished to build El Sagrario Church.
Portal of El Perdón
These galleries or naves no longer have their original roofs and the so-called nave del lagarto(=lizard) is covered by a 16C Mudejár roof which was not designed especially for this place, but which comes from a vanished Seville convent. The name nave del lagarto comes from the stuffed crocodile which hangs under the ceiling and was placed there as an exvoto as in other cathedrals. Above the door of the nave leading to the exterior of the cathedral there is a Gothic painting from the beginning of the 16C representing The Crucifixion.
The portal facing the Patio de los Naranjos is that of the Cathedral crossing on the northern side. It is called the entrance of La Concepcion and remained unfinished when the church was built initially. It was left like that until 1887 when it was completed following a design by the architect Adolfo Fernández Casanova. The architect kept to the Gothic style of the rest of the building, which is why it is in perfect harmony with what was built in carlier centuries despites its late date.

Russia has denied accusations of involvement in the chemical attack in Idlib
April 14, 2017 RR World
Alexander Shulgin
Moscow strongly denies allegations of involvement in the chemical attack on the town of Khan Shaykhun in the Syrian province of Idlib. On 14 April, said Alexander Shulgin, Russia's permanent representative to the Organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. His words are on the MFA website.
"This is an outright lie," — said the diplomat.
On April 7 the Associated Press, citing a senior us military, who requested anonymity, claimed that the USA are investigating the possible complicity of Russia in the chemical attack in Khan shaykhun. Later, however, Washington has officially stated that it has no evidence of Moscow's involvement in the incident. So, on April 12, Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said that the United States is confident that the strike "was made, were planned and implemented" by the Syrian authorities, transferred "Interfax". Pentagon chief James Mattis, in turn, said that the us military has no information about the awareness of Russia about the planned chemical attack in Idlib.
Controlled chemical attack on the Syrian opposition of Khan shaykhun was made 4 APR. According to the world health organization, 84 people have been killed, almost 600 injured. According to the Russian military, the Syrian air force attacked a warehouse of the terrorists, which contained munitions with chemical weapons. In the army, for their part, say similar to the ammunition used in the bombardment planes of government forces.
Washington has accused Damascus of organizing the chemical attacks. Three days later the us military by order of the President of Donald trump has struck cruise missiles on a government air base Shirt (province of HOMS), where, as suggested in United States, Syrian planes flew in Khan Shaykhun.

California Fish and Game Commission Meets Remotely
At the California Fish and Game Commission's August 18 meeting, commissioners discussed and acted on several issues affecting California's natural resources. A few of those topics are highlighted below:
The Commission took the first step to reestablishing an experimental fishing permit program that has been halted since 2019 due to a change in law. Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize publication of a notice of intent to establish the Marine Fisheries Experimental Fishing Permit Program. Scheduled for discussion at its October meeting and possible adoption at its December meeting, the program will give the Commission the ability to approve permits for research, education, data collection, compensation fishing, conservation engineering, and exploratory fishing.
As part of an ongoing integrated effort, Commissioners collaborated with Commission staff, California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff and members of the public to further develop a justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) vision statement as part of the ongoing commitment to promote JEDI principals.
The Commission added to its Tribal Committee work plan a project to explore an inclusive definition of subsistence hunting and fishing practices. This action is to acknowledge tribal relationships with natural resources more fully and to identify opportunities for California state law and regulations to support tribal cultural practices and access to resources.
The Commission voted unanimously to ratify findings supporting its recent decision to change the listing status of Clara Hunt's milkvetch (Astragalus claranus) from threatened to endangered under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). The Commission also received the one-year status report on the petition to list Pacific leatherback sea turtle as an endangered species under CESA and scheduled presentations and a potential decision for the Commission's October meeting.
The full Commission — President Peter Silva, Vice President Samantha Murray, and commissioners Jacque Hostler-Carmesin, Eric Sklar and Erika Zavaleta — was present.
The agenda for this meeting along with supporting information is available at fgc.ca.gov. Archived video and audio files will be available in coming days. The next meeting of the full Commission is tentatively scheduled as an in-person and virtual meeting for October 13-14, 2021, in Sacramento.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is coming to Nintendo Switch, in Japan
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Odyssey is coming to the Nintendo Switch in Japan.
Last night's Nintendo Direct served up a raft of game announcements for the Nintendo 3DS and Switch, including news of new titles in the Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing franchises. One franchise that wasn't mentioned – and nor were we expecting it to be – was Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series.
However, in Japan's Nintendo Direct broadcast it was confirmed that Ubisoft's upcoming open-world action RPG, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch as a cloud streaming game.
Here's the reveal trailer showing the game in action on the Switch.
It's not the first game from the PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation to get this treatment. Capcom's Resident Evil VII was also released for the Nintendo Switch as a cloud streaming game earlier this year, and according to reports it performed rather well.
We have to assume that the inconsistent availability of high-speed internet in the West prohibits such releases in Europe and North America.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Cloud Version will be available in Japan from October 5, 2018.
It's a real shame we'll probably never get it here, but we certainly wouldn't say no to Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy on the Switch. How about it, Ubisoft?

Using Jasmine with node

The Jasmine node package contains helper code for developing and running Jasmine tests for node-based projects.

        ¶

Install

        ¶

You can install Jasmine using npm, locally in your project and globally to use the CLI tool.

npm install jasmine

npm install -g jasmine

        ¶

Init a Project

        ¶

Initialize a project for Jasmine by creating a spec directory and configuration json for you.

jasmine init

        ¶

Generate examples

        ¶

Generate example spec and source files

jasmine examples

        ¶

Configuration

        ¶

Customize spec/support/jasmine.json to enumerate the source files and spec files you would like the
Jasmine runner to include. You may use dir glob strings.

spec_dir is used as a prefix for all spec_files and helpers.
Helpers are executed before specs.

{

        ¶

Spec directory path. Your spec_files must be relative to this path

  "spec_dir": "spec",

        ¶

Array of filepaths (and globs) relative to spec_dir to include

  "spec_files": [
  "**/*[sS]pec.js"
],

        ¶

Array of filepaths (and globs) relative spec_dir to include before jasmine specs

Stop execution of a spec after the first expectation failure in it

  "stopSpecOnExpectationFailure": false,

        ¶

Run specs in semi-random order

  "random": false
}

        ¶

Running tests

        ¶

Once you have set up your jasmine.json, you can start Jasmine by running jasmine from the root of your project.

Pass a relative path to a spec file to the jasmine command to only execute specs in a single file.

jasmine

jasmine spec/appSpec.js

        ¶

CLI Options

        ¶

JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=
Specify a relative or absolute path to your configuration file. Can be used as an option or set as an environment variable.

jasmine --stop-on-failure=true

        ¶

----random=[true|false]
Tells jasmine to run specs in semi random order or not for this run, overriding jasmine.json

jasmine --random=true

        ¶

----seed=
Sets the randomization seed if randomization is turned on

jasmine --seed=4321

        ¶

Using the library

        ¶

If you want more granular control over the configuration, Jasmine can also be used as a library in your project.
This allows you to load multiple config files or control your configuration in different ways.

var Jasmine = require('jasmine');
var jasmine = new Jasmine();

        ¶

Load configuration from a file or from an object.

jasmine.loadConfigFile('spec/support/jasmine.json');

jasmine.loadConfig({
  spec_dir: 'spec',
  spec_files: [
      'appSpec.js',
      'requests/**/*[sS]pec.js',
      'utils/**/*[sS]pec.js'
  ],
  helpers: [
      'helpers/**/*.js'
  ]
});

        ¶

Custom onComplete

        ¶

Optionally specify a custom onComplete callback. The callback is given a boolean of whether all of the specs passed or not. This is often used to message a status to task runners like grunt.

jasmine.onComplete(function(passed) {
  if(passed) {
      console.log('All specs have passed');
  }
  else {
      console.log('At least one spec has failed');
  }
});

        ¶

Reporters

        ¶

A ConsoleReporter is included if no other reporters are added.
You can configure the default reporter with configureDefaultReporter.
The default values are shown in the example.

jasmine.configureDefaultReporter({

        ¶

The timer passed to the reporter will determine the mechanism for seeing how long the suite takes to run.

    timer: new jasmine.jasmine.Timer(),

        ¶

The print function passed the reporter will be called to print its results.

    print: function() {
      process.stdout.write(arguments);
  },

        ¶

showColors determines whether or not the reporter should use ANSI color codes.

    showColors: true

Diva Alert! 5 Bizarre Musician Dressing Room Demands
The best part of being a musician: concert riders. Here are five of the most bizarre requests demanded by celebrity prima donnas.
. at 0x7f072e5fb9d0>
The 21-year-old superstar demands that her dressing room be stacked floor to ceiling with freshly cut white flowers, which she eagerly grazes on in the hours leading up to her show, reportedly consuming a third of her body weight each night on tour.
2. Bruce Springsteen
If the Boss demands it, you've got to do it! According to Springsteen's rider, the dressing room must contain 8.9 million small strips of paper, each one printed with the name of a different New Jersey resident.
3. Katy Perry
The pop star warns concert staff not to open the door to her dressing room no matter what sounds they hear, even if Katy begs them to release her. That is for their own safety.
According to a strict clause included in every one of her concert riders since 1985, if another person named Madonna is working on the show, the singer gets to be called Madonna 1 and the other person must be Madonna 2.
5. James Brown
The standard dressing room furnishings weren't enough to please the King of Soul, who had a paragraph in his contract that specifically demanded he be provided with 200 different species of poisonous snakes, as well as the antidote to each of their venom should he be bitten by any one of them.

Sick of hearing about all of the terrible gender statistics in film?
Bored of women as stereotypes on screen?
Wish you could do something but don't know what?
The biggest movie website in the world, IMDb has added F-Rated to all of the films which are directed by women and written by women. We are running a FREE event where we will teach you how to add the F-Rated tag to all of the films with significant women on screen in their own right.
The F-Rating is used alongside the BBFC ratings (PG, U, 15 etc) to highlight films which feature women in a significant role on screen and behind the camera – a system which has been adopted by dozens of film festivals and cinemas across the country.
If a film is all three then it is Triple F-Rated, the Gold Standard.
Come along, bring your laptop or tablet and make it easy to search the Internet Movie Database for films with significant women on screen in their own right and meet interesting, like minded people.
Free tickets for this event can be booked in advance by calling the BFI box office on 020 7928 3232 or at the counter between 11:30am to 08:30pm.


You know how Google sometimes "predicts" what you might be searching for by giving you a little drop down menu of suggested search queries? These suggestions, of course, are based on what other users frequently search. So I tried teasing out some gender differences. Look at the pictures below.
This shows Google's remarkable power as a source of data on a range of human behaviors, emotions, and opinions. It gives us insights into what people might care the most about concerning a given topic. When people search a particular political leader, what are their main concerns? What are people secretly guilty about? For better or for worse, Google's obsession with collecting and refining data has given us a window into each other's fascinating and telling curiosities.

To Žabljak we are driving from Ostrog. The road from Ostrog Monastery down we already know and then, when you finally hope that vomit roads are behind you, comes…. Gradac. And here we are again, déjà vu (wanna know more about our adventures with the roads in Montenegro, read here). At least this time it doesn't last long and to compensate all the curves, Durmitor gives us breathtaking views. It is like going through Alps a long long time ago, when there were no tunnels. Up and down, up and down.
We arrive to Žabljak – center of mountain tourism in Montenegro – at the end of May. It is no longer 30°C as in Kotor, instead from our window we can see snow on the highest peaks and we put all our clothes on for our evening walk. Still, it is worth it. There is something so charming about touristic places off season. They look like ghost towns, filled with echoes of the voices, squeaky doors. But whenever you dare to look around, it's empty. Boo!
We usually don't advertise the places we stay in. But this time we really have to do it, as it is not just about the place, it's about the owner. Young and full of energy and great ideas. Therefore we are for it, therefore we promote it! Have you ever landed in a place where problems disappear and everything is possible? Well we've had in Žabljak. During our trip we were constantly moving from one place to the other, so for Žabljak we planned only one night. We booked Rooms and Bungalows Sreten Žugić and we couldn't get a better place. We were a little bit worried before coming: a shared bathroom, with a small baby, colder weather… But it turned out there was nothing to worry about. We entered a great new house. Our host Sreten, knowing that we are coming with a baby, heated up our room as well as the common room with a kitchen. We could comfortably rest after the trip without worrying about anything. "Tea, coffee, juice?" and we were sitting and talking with the host in his lovely common living room.
What is the difference between a good host and a bad host? The first one is there for YOU: for you to be happy that you are travelling with a baby, for you to give tips about the area you're staying in, for you to pick the best road to get from A to B, and finally for you to feel at home, when you are sitting there with a cup of tea. A bad host? Well, you know him, when you see him 🙂 The moment you pay, you can go to hell. Sreten was not just a good host, he was a great one! Need more time to pack, staying after check-out to cook for Zofia, change of plans, additional info needed???? "It's ok Dario. It's no problem." And it was no problem indeed. Everything worked out, Zofia was more than happy to get so much Sreten's attention and we were in good hands. Apart from the accommodation Sreten is a well organizing lots of activities all around the area: jeep tours, zip-line, rafting etc. Like the Montenegrin Godfather 🙂 And if something you are looking for he does not organize, it's no problem, he will definitely know someone who does! It's really a good thing to know him when you stay in Durmitor.

May I know how shall I display all the 0 in the form of 0.00000000 (8 decimal places)?

A: You can use numpy.set_printoptions. Using this you can change the default way of printing a numpy object.
There are several options, but you need to understand just two: precision and floatmode. The first one is:

Number of digits of precision for floating point output (default 8).

And the second one:

Controls the interpretation of the precision option for floating-point types.

Since you want precision = 8 you don't need to change it because it is the default value. Therefore, all you need to do is (assuming you imported numpy as np):
np.set_printoptions(floatmode = "maxprec_equal")

And then print your matrix. It does exactly what you want.

CanucksArmy post game: Thatcher Demko does it again and the Canucks win in overtime
Photo credit:© Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports
By Faber
After a strong finish to their homestand, the Vancouver Canucks kicked off their first of four games on the road with a visit to the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa Senators.
The Canucks needed overtime to secure the win in this one. Once again, Thatcher Demko was there to lead his team to a 3-2 win.
Thatcher Demko got the call to the crease once again while viral interview star Joey Daccord went between the pipes for the Sens.
The Canucks went with the same lineup as Saturday night.
The bottom feeders of the North Division met on Monday night and both teams were starting to put some wins together.
It's time for puck drop, let's go!
Very early on, the Sens had a horrendous turnover where they set J.T. Miller up for a shot in the slot. Miller rang the point-blank shot off the post.
The Sens were firing a lot of long shots on Demko in the early stages. At one point, the shots were 8-1 in favour of the Sens.
Adam Gaudette had a couple of scoring chances with 13 minutes remaining in the period.
It felt like the Canucks had the better scoring chances while the Sens were content with throwing shots on Demko to try and generate some rebounds for scoring chances.
Just past the halfway point, Jayce Hawryluk scored his first goal of the season. Jordie Benn got the shot through and Hawryluk was there to clean up the garbage. Brandon Sutter got the secondary assist as he won the faceoff to set up the Benn point shot. 1-0 Canucks.
The goal-scorer took the first penalty of the game. Hawryluk took a high-sticking minor with 5:43 remaining in the period.
Tyler Myers made a great pass to Brady Tkachuk in the slot, who then ripped a wrist shot off the crossbar in what was the best scoring chance of the power play for the Sens.
Tanner Pearson received a gift with just over a minute remaining. He scored his first goal in a dozen games when a puck was sent right to his stick in front of the net. He ripped a wrist shot home and made it 2-0 Canucks.
Gaudette was penalized for high-sticking with 46 seconds remaining in the period, giving the Sens their second attempt with the man advantage.
Demko was busy in the first period, and had to scramble a couple of times when there was a loose puck around the crease. Miller and Myers each had a horrible giveaway that led to a scoring chance.
The Sens hit a few posts and had 18 shots on Demko in the first 20 minutes.
The shot count was 18-9 while the scoring chances were equal with each team having 14 in the period.
It was an exciting period of hockey and the Canucks came out of it with a two-goal lead.
The Sens generated one shot on their power play and it was an incredible save by Demko on Tkachuk.
The Sens finally solved Demko when Josh Norris swatted at a bouncing puck in the slot. Demko got a piece of it but it trickled past him and into the net to cut the Canucks' lead in half. 2-1 Canucks after the Norris goal.
The Sens received their third power play of the game when Travis Hamonic took a hooking call as a Senator split the defence on a rush.
Bo Horvat took a slashing penalty with 6:48 remaining in the period and it was the fourth power play of the game for the Sens while the Canucks had not had one attempt with the man-advantage.
The Canucks killed off another penalty and that meant that the Sens were unsuccessful in their first four power play attempts.
Travis Green pulled out his line blender in the second period. A trio of Nils Höglander, Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser was assembled. Gaudette got a run with Miller and Zack MacEwen as well. Jake Virtanen was shuffled in through those two lines.
The Canucks finally earned their first power play of the game with 1:13 remaining in the period.
The Sens outshot the Canucks 12-7 in the second period and were dominant in the scoring chance department. The Sens had 15 scoring chances compared to the Canucks' four in that period.
Still, the Canucks held onto their one-goal lead as they headed into the third period.
There were some exciting shifts from the Höglander, Horvat, Boeser trio. The added playmaking ability of Höglander created more space for Horvat and Boeser to get to their hotspots on the ice.
This line gave Canucks fans a look at what a third line centred by Miller could look like as he was flanked by MacEwen and Gaudette. That trio was banging bodies on every shift and generated some scoring chances as well.
Demko continued to be excellent as the halfway point of the third period came and went. He is showing that he is currently one of the best goaltenders in the league and is a game-changer on most nights.
The Sens were going to be over 40 shots in this game and Demko was rarely found out of position. He is becoming a legit number one starter in front of our eyes.
The Sens pulled the goalie with just over two minutes remaining and immediately scored the equalizer. Colin White scored on the Senators' 44th shot of the game. 2-2 with under two minutes left.
With that late goal, we were off to overtime.
The Canucks waited for the right moment to attack and their patience paid off. Hughes made an amazing pass to send in Miller all alone and he made no mistake burying it on the forehand.
Canucks win 3-2.
The Fancies
Best of Twitter
Hmmm… Vezina quality goaltending has been the secret all along!
He's something special!
Facts only from Wagner.
Thatcher Demko: Night in and night out, he is the best Canuck on the ice and he did it again on Monday night. Demko faced 46 shots on net and 43 scoring chances against while only giving up two goals.
This Canucks team is a dangerous one when they get Vezina calibre goaltending. We learned that last season and are seeing it now with Demko and the run that he is on. He should be a no-brainer to be in the crease on Wednesday night, but then we see back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday.
Monday marked the ninth start in 10 games for him and he has looked dialled in for a while now. It might be time to ride him hard and make that push into playoff contention. The two games against Montreal on Friday and Saturday will give them a chance to fight for a playoff spot if they can wheel off two wins on the weekend.
For now, the Canucks will have to take care of business on Wednesday. They will be back in action against the Sens for the second of their two-game series. The game is another 4 pm start, we will see you there!

The Godly Path to Adam Smith's Liberal Plan
There's been renewed interest in the role Christianity has played in liberalism since Larry Siedentop's 2014 book, Inventing the Individual: The Origins of Western Liberalism. Building on Siedentop, Daniel Klein says universal benevolent monotheism, and Christianity in particular, has led to the articulation of a specific social grammar and corresponding rights—in short Adam Smith's "liberal plan." But can liberalism be sustained in a world that no longer takes its ethics from that monotheism?

The French are renown for their exquisite cuisine and fashionable lifestyles. It's not too hard for us to imagine a French person sitting at a sidewalk café in Paris dining on foie gras, coq au vin, and heavy cheeses, sipping a fine Bordeaux, and smoking several cigarettes to finish off the meal. It also doesn't seem to be too difficult for us to imagine that same person later experiencing crushing chest pain while walking home and arriving at the nearest ER with a major heart attack.
However, in spite of, or more accurately because of this particular diet, the French in general have a lower overall death rate from heart disease than would be expected. This French paradox is believed to be a result of their regular consumption of red wine.
Several studies have now confirmed that drinking a moderate amount of alcohol (ethanol) decreases the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. There are several mechanisms to the health benefits of alcohol which include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-blood clotting effects.
In particular, ethanol is known to improve cholesterol levels by increasing good HDL and other proteins that are beneficial to cholesterol metabolism. Ethanol inhibits a certain enzyme called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP). If this sounds familiar, it should since I mentioned it in a blog last month. A new class of synthetic drugs called CETP inhibitors are currently under investigation for their potential in significantly raising HDL levels and lowering the risk of heart disease.
One drug called torcetrapib was recently discontinued after it was shown to also be associated with high blood pressure and an increased risk of death. Ethanol is a naturally occurring CETP inhibitor and may raise HDL levels by 4mg/dl.
In addition to the ethanol, red wine also contains other substances found in the skin of the grapes that are antioxidants and anti-blood clotting chemicals. Does this mean that red wine is the cocktail of choice for heart protection? The answer is not fully known. It seems that all types of alcoholic beverages are associated with some heart benefit.
Some studies suggest that red wine may give more benefit than beer, but the jury is still out as to which drink is the best. I suppose we'll have to let Sam Adams, Charles Shaw, and Jim Beam figure that one out for us.
As with all good pleasurable things, gluttony leads to harm. "Moderate" alcohol consumption is generally defined as 3 to 9 drinks per week. For those of you who did not excel in the science of mathematics, a "double" counts as 2 drinks and not 1. Heavier alcohol use is associated with numerous health problems such as liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer (especially of the breast), osteoporosis, car accidents, and suicide. Binge drinking also doesn't appear to offer much heart protection, let alone protection from bad personal choices.
In summary, moderate alcohol consumption on a regular basis does improve cholesterol levels and can lead to a lower risk of heart disease. Whether everyone should begin having a glass of wine with their low fat chicken and whole grain rice depends on each individual. If you are considering consuming alcohol for perceived health benefits, I would advise that you speak to your doctor first. Besides, he or she may have some good suggestions for a nice reasonably priced California cabernet.

Ethiopian worshippers risked lives to save Ark of the Covenant from soldiers
Jane Flanagan
Friday February 19 2021, 12.01am, The Times
An elderly woman who sought refuge in Axum was among those hurt in the attack last November; she later died of her injuriesAP
Panic that occupying troops would plunder their most sacred treasure pushed the devout in Ethiopia's holiest city to race into harm's way to defend it, according to a witness to atrocities committed in the country's civil war.
As clashes broke out between soldiers and rebel militia in Axum, worshippers rushed to the church where the Ark of the Covenant is reputedly secured and in which hundreds were seeking refuge.
"When people heard the shooting they ran to the church to give support to the priests and others who were there protecting the ark," Getu Mak, 32, a university lecturer, told The Times. "Certainly some of them were killed for doing that."
The Ark of the Covenant, containing the tablets with the Ten Commandments, was carried to Jerusalem by King David
Described in the Bible as a gilded wood casket housing stone tablets etched with the Ten Commandments, the ark has been in the church's compound since the 1960s. Its defenders had armed themselves only with "cobbles and sticks", witnesses told a researcher from the Europe External Programme with Africa, which is investigating reports of atrocities.
Up to 800 people were killed in and around the Church of St Mary of Zion at the end of November by pro-government forces, according to an account given by a deacon at Axum's most revered site.
Bodies were left on the city's streets for days, drawing hyenas down from the nearby hills to scavenge. When soldiers left Axum, mass burials were held, according to witness statements.
Reports of the destruction and looting of priceless artefacts by troops since the conflict began in early November in the northern, heritage-rich Tigray region had prompted fears that the ark would be targeted, Getu added. "Everyone was worried it would be taken, to Eritrea, to [the capital] Addis Ababa, or just disappear, including me."
The ark is said to be held at the Church of St Mary of Zion in AxumAP
He watched the mayhem on November 28 from his city centre hotel room, more than a week after government troops and those backing them from neighbouring Eritrea had descended on the city after heavy bombardment.
A day after the killings at and near the St Mary of Zion church, Eritrean forces went between homes, ancient ruins and churches looking for those sympathetic to the renegade Tigray People's Liberation Front.
Getu said: "There was no mercy shown, they didn't care if you were young, old, whatever. They killed people and took everything they could — from the electronics shop, the bars. There were many corpses."
A shutdown of the internet and mobile phone networks has cut Tigray off since Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia's prime minister, deployed the army against the area's leadership. News of rumoured atrocities, including scores of rapes and massacres committed by both sides, are only now filtering out.
Abiy, 44, who won the 2019 Nobel peace prize, declared victory against the TPLF in late November after pro-government forces took the regional capital, Mekele. His government has denied the involvement of Eritrea but is now being forced to row back on claims that no civilians had been killed in the campaign.
This week the foreign ministry admitted that "rape, plunder, callous and intentional mass killings" could occur in a conflict where "many are illegally armed". It blamed Tigrayan militia for leaving the region "vulnerable".
Humanitarian organisations have warned of a looming hunger crisis on the same scale as that seen in the mid-Eighties, which prompted the Band Aid fundraiser. Eighty per cent of Tigray's population of six million remain cut off from help, the UN said.
Heritage experts acknowledge that a worsening humanitarian emergency must be prioritised over Ethiopia's historical riches but the vulnerable artefacts are valuable to more than the Tigray region or the country.
Alessandro Bausi, an expert in Ethiopic texts and manuscripts at Hamburg University, said that the "cultural annihilation" being waged in Tigray should alarm the world.
How the ark got to Axum
In the Book of Exodus, God commanded Moses to "make an ark of acacia wood" after delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. A gilded ark, or chest, was duly fashioned by the Israelites and in it Moses placed the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. The Old Testament says that the ark was held at the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem for centuries but vanished after Jerusalem was sacked in 586 or 587BC. According to Ethiopia's Orthodox Christians the ark was taken to Axum by Menelik, son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon of Israel, in the 10th century BC. For the past 50 years it is said to have been been housed in the Chapel of the Tablet, designed by Emperor Haile Selassie, in the holy city of Axum in Tigray. No one is permitted to have access to the relic apart from a solitary monk.

TPLF made enormous changes during those 27 years , unlike those accusations made by Amhara elites as they protrude their poisnous toungue to speak . They just look obessed with the number "27" and money. If you ask them , they cann't omit the above two terms. They donot even cease to amaze us in their words such as " one mahara man uttered – those 27 years of Woyane rule we lived in darkness" If you search for media archives holding the news broadcasted during teh first month of TPLF adminstration, you will find teh same amhara people saying " we donot consider /count those 17 years of Dergue regime " when they were interviewed by journalists in 1991.They even empasazied their words by sayinng"I will start to count my age as of 1991, a year TPLF start to rule Ethiopia.These words are the words of amhara people and their key characteristics of being the social chameleon.
TPLF adminstration displayed a rigorous approach towards educational excellence worked to reduce rates of educational exclusion in the country.
TPLF adminstration built many universities , these can be seen at the following link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_and_colleges_in_Ethiopia
Between 2000 and 2013 it almost doubled the share of its budget allocated to education, from 15% to 27%. For example, the United States' federal government spends just over 6%.
The number of primary schools almost tripled from 1996 to 2015, while student enrollment grew from less than 3 million to over 18 million within the same period—almost universal. Youth literacy meanwhile jumped from 34% in 2000 to 52% in 2011.TPLF made ethiopia, 2000 to 2018, rank the third-fastest growing country. https://qz.com/africa
TPLF sent many of these thugs who turned out to be back-stabbers and snakes in the grass from various universities and public offices for work mission and upon their arrival they transformed themselves into asylum seekers with a fabricated story that could likely win the heart of UNHCR staff.
Many amhara elites prefer to talk tell a bogus story of abuses during TPLF than that of derge regime or what their amhara did to them. TPLF had appointed many people from amhara region and if they claim that these asylum seekrs were illtreated it was committed by their own people .
Many of elites who were working for TPLF are not favored by these asylum seekrs in US and EU , becaue they are amhara or nonTegarus. Abiy , Demeke Mekonen, Redwan Hussen were working during those 27 years which Amara elites consider as dark era . TPLF excutive leaders receive information and documents upon which their decicion is relied. TPL leaders are dependant upon the information they receive from any oficial running regional or minsterial offies. Hence, why cannot balme thier leaders if they think things are getting wrong rather we see them working with all amhara leaders who were appointed diring TPLF leadership times. It is all about ethnic based profiling and Ethnocentrism-conception of members of a culture or social group as being the center, the normal, and superior to the others which is manifested by amhara elites.
People become blinded by their personal perspectives, medemer(Abiy's philosophy of leadership-unity by gun) , amharnized ethiopiyawinet, to the extent where it becomes the correct choice for them to enforce their philosophies on other people at any expense.
When you see an act of terrorism, either domestic or foreign, then you are witnessing an act of ethnocentrism.
If they claim ethiopia is doing great now in terms of its educational, econmic devt , public insfrastructure , it is only and only because TPLF had laid a strong foundation beforehand.I never been supporter of TPLF rather an opponent wishing to welcome a new administration that could raise the country from poverty because I was deluded by those habitual lairs and pretenciously treacherous amhara men, preaching unity while being power mongers in diguise concealing thier thirst for power, who want to see an Amahara man becoming king in Ethiopia.

All schools should have robust policies that seek to ensure the safety and inclusion of all children. Anti bullying, Nurture, Safeguarding and Safe Spaces are all positive aspects of the Equalities and Inclusion work of our schools. However, there is always more that could be done to ensure that staff feel confident, informed and enabled to put the policies into practice. Therefore, as well as creating resources for use in classroom, materials will be added to this page for use at whole school level and to inform policy and practice relating to the Equality Act and the protected characteristics.

UUP President Phil Smith (inset) welcomes more than 200 students from SUNY's Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) as they arrived to meet with state lawmakers during EOP/EOC Advocacy Day in Albany on Feb. 5.
"Tell legislators what EOP and EOC mean to you," Smith told the students prior to their visiting the offices of 80 state lawmakers accompanied by EOP/EOC counselors and other UUP members.
Students told legislators in each meeting about the profound difference EOP and EOC have made in their lives.
"EOP has opened up more doors than would have ever opened," Cortland student Boyan Cox, right, told Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (D-Flushing), left, as she was joined by Cortland UUPer Joe Westbrook.
Students often pointed out how fortunate they felt to be part of the programs because of limited spaces due to inadequate funding. For example, Oswego students said 2,200 had applied to EOP, but only 77 were admitted.
The EOP provides academic support and financial aid to eligible low-income students who want to attend college. EOCs help prepare students for college or vocational training programs.

This book is his memoir of growing up, becoming blind, and the struggle of pushing the limitations that society sometimes imposes on those who are blind. This breathtaking story follows Erik's journey from the time he was a three-year-old boy diagnosed with a rare eye disease through his childhood when his parents challenged him to live a normal life despite his limiting handicap. In fact, I used several of the things he mentions in his book to help my wife start adjusting. A summit exists in our hearts and minds. About Touch the Top of the World The incredible bestselling book from the author of No Barriers and The Adversity Advantage Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would leave him blind by the age of thirteen. ـ احساس میکنم اونطور که باید، حق مطلب رو ادا نکردم اما امیدوارم مطالعه این کتاب براتون لذت و انگیزه به همراه داشته باشه.
What an amazing man who, although he is totally blind, but with his exceptional character, determination and will along with support and assistance of amazing friends, has climbed to the tops some of the world's most deadly mountains. But Erik was determined to rise above this devastating disability and lead a fulfilling and exciting life. More on Erik:A former middle school teacher and wrestling coach, Erik is one of the most exciting and well-known athletes in the world. In this poignant and inspiring memoir, he shares his struggle to push past the limits imposed on him by his visual impairment-and by a seeing world. With the insightful intimacy of Tom Sullivan's classic If You Could See What I Hear and the intensity of the best adventure narratives, Weihenmayer's story will appeal to a broad audience.
Before long, the reader, like Erik, no longer sees blindness as a handicap, but as one of many hurdles life tosses in our way. Two weeks before Erik lost his sight completely, his parents began the process of getting divorced, his mother got drunk, drove her car into a stone wall in town and died. But my supervisors really like the book, so it is going to be an assigned book. The film also stars Bruce Campbell Burn Notice , Kate Greenhouse, and Sarah Manninen. She surprised me recently with a signed copy of this book. I may be biased, but when people say they summit mountains for the view, I don't believe them.
This is the text that will appear on the about page and should be a description of what this topic is. The book is mainly about climbing mountains, and the main guy just happens to be blind. It is far more than a memoir it is an adventure story that still leaves many of us who are sighted admiring how he and his companions perservered. The film follows Weihenmayer's life up to his greatest triumph, showing how he achieved his goals. Total runtime is 89 minutes. Later, when Weihenmayer overcame insurmountable odds and scaled Mount Everest, his stunning achievement served as an inspiration to both his community, and other vision impaired athletes as well.
The book is mainly about climbing mountains, and the main guy just happens to be blind. Fav quotation This guy Erik is so legit. I hope he writes more about the climbs he did after this book. Although inspiring, I thought that it kind of drug on a little too much before get to his early adventures in climbing. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the book. All of us can learn to reach for things we seem to think inpossible.
Thirty Sets of Eyes 10. From the snow-capped summit of McKinley to the towering peaks of Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro to the ultimate challenge, Mount Everest, this is a story about daring to dream in the face of impossible odds. Weihenmayer was just three years old when he learned that he suffered from an eye disease that would ultimately rob him of sight. Starring Peter Facinelli, Bruce Campbell, Kate Greenhouse Director Peter Winther Special Features: Full Frame, 1. He also completed the Seven Summits, joining 150 mountaineers who have accomplished that feat, but the only climber who was blind. This poignant and optimistic tack in lieu of other family tragedy would encourage anyone and perhaps have them closing the book and more grateful of what they do have.
This is an awesome look at a life lived that I can't even begin to relate to. It is about finding the courage to reach for that ultimate summit, and transforming your life into something truly miraculous. His over the top detailed explanations were too much. Please refer to wikipedia for a good example of how an about description might look. Not for me, thank you very much. Surprisingly will written and worth the read.
Although there was a lot of flailing and struggle in those early days, the freedom of attacking a challenge and problem solving my way through it invigorated me and helped me to feel less trapped by blindness. I don't have a desire to climb mountains, and after reading this book I have less of a desire to climb mountains, if that is possible. I've seen two documentaries about Erik Weihenmayer and his mountain climbing, but it will be interesting to more of his background story. I highly recommend this book and will read everything that Erik writes. و مدرکی مسلم براین است که زندگیمان بامعناست.
But Erik was determined to rise above this devastating disability and lead a fulfilling and exciting life. Although he is blind, he does not give up easily when faced with a challenge. Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would leave him blind by the age of thirteen. Follow along as Erik Weihenmayer's obsession to master the summit inspires his community and an entire generation of vision-impaired athletes. After that, I took off and easily kept hold of my interest.

Significant efforts made to reduce cancer burden: expert

Prof Karl Alexander Knuth (L), Dr Mohamed Ussama al-Homsi
Qatar has made significant efforts to reduce the impact of cancer on the country's population, according to an expert from Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).
"Qatar has made a commitment to prioritise actions to address cancer in line with the plans set out in the national health strategies," said Prof Karl Alexander Knuth, medical director and CEO of National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR), HMC.
Improvements such as the implementation of vaccination programmes which prevent infections that cause cervical and liver cancer, improved access to screening programmes for breast and bowel cancers, and tobacco taxation, regulation and control are all actions designed to reduce the burden of cancer in the country, he said.
According to the World Health Organisation, cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and was responsible for estimated 9.6mn deaths in 2018. Worldwide, around one in six deaths is due to cancer.
In Qatar, the most recent data released by the Qatar National Cancer Registry shows that in 2015 there were 1,465 new patients diagnosed with cancer, of which 44% were female and 56% male.
Dr Mohamed Ussama al-Homsi, senior consultant, Oncology Department, NCCCR, said World Cancer Day provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of cancer prevention and detection strategies and also to raise awareness of treatment options.
"World Cancer Day, observed on February 4 annually, represents a unique opportunity to draw attention to what can be done to address cancer and to prevent millions of deaths," said Dr al-Homsi.
"Around one-third of common cancers are preventable and millions of lives could be saved globally each year by implementing resource-appropriate strategies for prevention, early detection, and treatment. For this reason, as oncology experts, we urge people to take a positive and proactive approach in the fight against cancer," added Dr al-Homsi.
To mark World Cancer Day, HMC is holding a number of activities aimed at raising awareness about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection. Planned activities also aim to dispel myths about cancer that can adversely affect people's attitude toward accessing early diagnosis, treatment, and care.
"Through our planned activities, we aim to increase awareness of the risk factors for cancer, such as tobacco use, being overweight, eating an unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity. The focus is also on making the public aware of available screening programmes, the human papillomavirus vaccination, and cancer care available here in Qatar. World Cancer Day provides an opportunity to reflect on what each of us as individuals can do to reduce the impact of this devastating disease, now, and in the future," added Dr al-Homsi.

Adaptability and resilience: the 2 key words of 2020
2020 - what a year! While the pandemic held the media, governments, and society as a whole in suspense, a lot has been going on at Le Wagon Montreal related - or not - to this global phenomenon. Let's take a look back at a year like no other.
MG Ayoub Published on Jan 4, 2021
Depending on who you ask, the year 2020 either flew by or dragged on for far too long. Whichever it was, here at Le Wagon Montreal, it was a period of non-stop discoveries, lessons, and opportunities to put into practice like never before the true meaning of the words adaptability and resilience.
As a result of the March lockdown, we quickly had to implement and test a new approach to remote learning. The challenge for us was making sure we could capture our immersive on-campus experience and reproduce it in a virtual environment. Mission accomplished. ✅
After the initial lockdown, we returned to campus adhering to strict health and safety measures while giving students the choice to continue the bootcamp remotely. Just like that, hybrid classes were born. Our goal has been to help students make the most of the current situation to acquire strong technical skills. The formula works and we continue to offer it in 2021. ✅
Between lockdowns and deconfinements, to fully remote and hybrid classes, here is a glimpse of the milestones we achieved this year.
The success of our first part-time web development bootcamp: lessons learned
The first challenge our part-time students faced was finding the right balance between their professional lives and the bootcamp, but the lockdown soon forced them to quickly change their routines just as they were entering the final weeks of the program. This period was all about learning to adapt quickly to make the best of the situation and ensure a smooth transition into remote group work. What made all the difference? Strong motivation and personal commitment from each team member, efficient communication and collaboration between team members using tools like Trello and Slack, and daily stand-up meetings to discuss priorities and share action items.
The Data Science bootcamp launches in Montreal
We launched our Data Science bootcamp in the beginning of summer and Montreal is proving to be THE city of choice for this new curriculum. How come? It may have to do with Montreal being an epicenter for artificial intelligence, or the fact that the ecosystem needs talent in both data analysis and data science, and to increase the diversity within tech teams.
Our graduates finish the bootcamp with actionable skills, practical projects, and the ability to collaborate within a team of data specialists.
Having a positive impact on our students' careers
In 2020, we released the first report on the outcomes achieved after the bootcamp and revealed that Le Wagon Montreal truly is a career accelerator.
This year, more than a hundred students completed our bootcamps in Montreal, hailing from a wide variety of cultural and professional backgrounds — among them, a bartender, pilot, marketing specialist, financial specialist, real estate agent, designer, and hospitality professionals. This year, 40% of our students were women or identified as non-binary. One step closer towards closing the gap.
By acquiring new professional skills, many people were able to advance their careers or change them completely to become freelance developers, back-end developers, product manager, or even start their own businesses despite the unique challenges created by the pandemic.
As Samantha testifies, the impact of the bootcamp exceeded her expectations.
Pay it forward: a strong value in the Le Wagon community
Very early on in the pandemic, we set up a "Stay Home, Keep Growing" initiative to help everyone make the most of this crisis by offering free hands-on coding and data analysis workshops around the world. Our commitment toward the tech community remained a priority throughout the year.
An ever-growing network of partners
A great collaboration was developed with Urelles, a consulting firm specializing in the strategy and implementation of diversity policies in tech. We have launched an initiative to encourage and support women aspiring to enter tech-related professions.
Despite the tsunami of uncertainty, companies big and small have responded to the call of our "career" events to meet and exchange with our talented graduates.
We are so excited to start 2021 and looking forward to the continued growth of our community.
We wish you a very happy and healthy new year!
