An open bottle will oxidise if left for half a day or so, sometimes less. Already oxidised wines like Vin Jaune can be kept for a weeks, as can dessert wines and fortified wines but most others fade in half a day to a day.
The enemy is oxygen in the air, it reacts with the wine, which changes the flavour. In the short term it can be positive, "aerating" the wine to more openness. After a while, the wine will acquire a savoury "marmitey" note. Note that the wine remains drinkable, it won't harm you, it just isn't the wine you picked anymore.
In theory there is nothing wrong with that flavour when it is chosen deliberately (as it is in some Jura wines, sherry etc.) but when it happens from exposure it is nowhere near as balanced or pleasant.
Most quality wine will resist a day when kept cool, although totally sulfur free wine will usually change faster. Some wines change gradually whereas others will suddenly "flip. Acidity slows it down, as does high sugar. It is also far less noticeable in oaked wines, especially oaked whites.
Keeping the wine very cold slows down air circulation which slows down the effect.
There are devices which extract oxygen from partially consumed bottles like the famous Vacuvin. These only help a little if you keep the wine very cool. I hear they work for some people but we gave up on ours. The vaccuum is very imperfect so you are only gaining a couple hours and it can affect the aromatics too.
Approach #3 - displace the air with "better gas"
The best thing we have found is inert gas - gas heavier than oxygen which creates an insulating layer so the air cannot get to the wine.
You have probably seen in wine stores these oenomatic machines. They use gas to preserve, pushing the wine out by pushing gas in. They are imperfect as you need to open the wine before putting it in, which means the protection does not last forever. Obviously this is a bit much for home.
The Coravin portable device, if done right, can preserve a bottle for months (I hear years, but the most I have tested it is 8 months). It is not cheap but if you like "just having a glass" of many different wines it can be well worth it. We love ours as it allows us to bring bottles to tastings without wasting them.
But it is a bit overkill for drinking at dinner. First it needs to be used carefully and you need to know up front that you will want to use it. It makes the pouring slower so the best way to use it to pour the right amount of wine (in our case half a bottle) into a small carafe.
Easier to use is the can of gas that can be "puffed" into an open bottle. We use Private Preserve and a canister of it lasts a good long while. It allows us to keep the opened bottles after a tasting event and enjoy them over the following week.
Always curious, I have backed the eto carafe on Kickstarter, which physically pushes out the air without using gas. I was hoping to get it before Christmas but this likely won't happen. I shall report on its suitability in due time.

Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) Admits to "TOP SECRET" Records and "SECRET" Video From USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" UFO Incident
On October the 28th, 2019, long-time researcher and friend Christian Lambright submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the US Navy's (USN) Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) for records relating to the famed USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" UFO encounter. In it, he stated:
"This is a request for records under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) as amended including the E-FOIA amendments. Because I am unsure of what department or agency retains the records I am requesting, I ask that you forward a copy of this request to all locations that would have been in position to receive any of the material(s) detailed in the following paragraphs.
This request is to include all releasable portions of records and reports related to investigation of the detection of and encounter(s) with Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) by personnel involved with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group (CSG) operations off the western coast of the United States during the period of approximately 10-16 November, 2004. The designation 'AAVs' is used here because it appeared in a summary of these events, so there may also be other terms used in the material I am requesting.
Information supportive of my request comes from a former pilot and now writer who has publicly stated he was allowed to see an exhaustive classified ONI report on these events prior to an article he published in 2015. Other supportive information comes from a contractor/analyst who has stated that an investigation had been conducted by a "GS-15" with the Office of Naval Intelligence.
If any records responsive to my request originated with another agency and require review or handling by that agency, I request that I be informed appropriately of the agency(ies) involved and actions in this regard.
I also request that ANY and ALL partially releasable information be forwarded to the appropriate agency(ies) specified for review, if any, and that I be informed appropriately of actions in this regard.
In order to help determine the category in which to place this request, please know that I am a private individual requesting records for noncommercial research and study purposes. Therefore, I believe this request belongs in the "all other" fee category. However, I am willing to pay reasonable search and reproduction fees up to a maximum of $50.00 over and above the '2 hours' research time and first 100 pages free' provisions of the FOIA for costs associated with this request if necessary.
If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you explain all deletions by reference to specific categories of exempted information, but as required by law, release any segregable portions that are left after the exempted material has been redacted. I also request that redactions be made using blackout not white-out."
Less than two months later, on December 9th, 2019, the ONI's FOIA/PA Coordinator, Camille V'Estres, sent Lambright her reply. Her letter states, in part:
"This is a final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of October 28, 2019, addressed to the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). Your request was assigned the above referenced Department of Navy FOIA number. You request all releasable portions of records and reports related to investigation of the detection of and encounter(s) with Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) by personnel involved with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group (CSG) operations off the western coast of the United States during the period of approximately 10-16 November, 2004.
Our review of our records and systems reveal that ONI has no releasable records related to your request. ONI has searched our records for responsive documents. We have discovered certain briefing slides that are classified TOP SECRET. A review of these materials indicates that are currently and appropriate Marked and Classified TOP SECRET under Executive Order 13526, and the Original Classification Authority has determined that the release of these materials would cause exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States. Specifically, under Section 1.4, the materials would trigger protections under subcategory c), the Intelligence Activities of the United States, as well as the Sources and Methods that are being used to gather information in support of the National Security of the United States. In addition, the materials would trigger protections under subcategory e), Scientific and Technological Matters related to the National Security of the United States. For this reason, the materials are exempt from release under the (b) (1) Exemption for Classified Matters of National Defense. As a result these records may not be released and are being withheld.
We have also determined that ONI possesses a video classified SECRET that ONI is not the Original Classification Authority for. ONI has forwarded your request to Naval Air Systems Command to make a determination on releasability…"
From there, Ms. V'Estres goes on to offer Lambright his standard rights of appeal, and a non-determination of fee waiver.
Evidently, the ONI's response contains numerous issues worth raising. The ONI reviewed their "records and systems" but found "no releasable records" regarding the USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" UFO event. At first glance, this implies that they have nothing themselves to release. But interpreted slightly differently, the statement could also suggest that they in fact do have internal, homegrown records, but those records off limits. This, however, seems unlikely, due to the candid admissions that come next. During these searches, ONI discovered records originating from another agency. Designated as "briefing slides", these items were deemed to be "classified TOP SECRET" under the well-worn Executive Order 13526, and the originating authority determined that they must stay that way. The reasons given relate, firstly, to "Intelligence Activities of the United States" and "Sources and Methods" which are used to collection national security information, and, secondly, to "Scientific and Technological Matters" related, again, to national security. Finally, the ONI admits to possessing a video which is currently classified "SECRET". Again, the ONI has no authority to declassify it, but they did at least confess to who does. The originating agency is acknowledged as the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). Ms. V'Estres reply letter is imaged below.
At this point, we can have no firm ideas as to what this material is. Moreover, the main purpose of this short piece is not to dissect each-and-every possibility, much of which would be based on assumption. Succinctly though, at first glance one may presume that the "briefing slides" relate to a series of briefings involving the USN. Research partner Keith Basterfield has elaborated on such events here. This, however, is pure supposition. Also, it is important, I think, to reiterate that this material classified TOP SECRET, and we don't even know who by. The Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA)? A successor to the elusive Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)? Whatever the situation, we can say that it relates to USS Nimitz's UFO encounter of November, 2004. Afterall, Lambright's FOIA request asked for nothing else. As for the video, which is apparently classified SECRET and owned by NAVAIR, one is bound to think it relates to the short "Tic Tac" footage taken by pilot Chat Underwood during the famed and still unsolved encounter. Again, this mightn't be the case. In the meantime, the ever patient Christian Lambright has taken an appropriate course of action to move all this further ahead.
What do you know about Issac Koi and the connection to German film company Vision enterprises? I'm still digging but it looks like one of the films was produced there and was posted in 2007 on. Facebook----I saw it and poof, it was down. it it possible we are looking at holograms???? That would make the most sense.
The Final Theory explained to Issac Koi that he placed the video on the German site to get the video out to the public while still keeping his identity secret. Alien craft makes the most sense.
Jochen 16 January 2020 at 12:14
I'm in contact with Issac Koi and we are trying to find the person who posted the video in 2007. We also contacted the mentioned film company but they can't provide any information about the video or the person who placed it on their website.

Hi everyone, I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to 9,000 euros, which I asked for business. This is really good news and I am so happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email (text or call) +1 315-329-6320 There are sincere loan lenders!
They are able to thank you for your loan.

When the Nimitz guys were interviewed on youtube, they explained that the reason why some witnesses were asked to sign non-disclosure documents and some witnesses weren't, is that some of them were handling machinery/technologies that are supposed to be secret. Which is credible, but that's what creates this "foggy" situation. How much of the secrecy held by the US government has to do with new radars (or new devices that can fool radars!) and how much has to do with "we have aliens on earth, come on people, we can't disclose a secret like that"? This last FOIA (Thanks Christian, please keep up the good work!) will surely be interpreted by alien fanatics as "a-ah! they are aliens and the US wants to keep the secret", but as you wisely underlined in your comment, the words used by V'Estres apply very well to the other interpretation as well. "Source and methods" and "scientific and technological matters", those are the key expressions, I'm glad you went there straight away :)
nsurround 13 January 2020 at 11:25
If the 2004 Nimitz encounter(s) were the only one's that have been disclosed or witnessed too then interpretations certainly could fall along the lines of secret advanced military technologies. However that is not the case. There have been thousands of sightings and encounters of strange craft or phenomena for at least the last 70 years. Then if you include the abduction stuff and events like animal mutilations you end up with quite a complex situation that really defies any one interpretation. While physical evidence is really important anecdotal evidence cannot be completely discounted (debunkers and others say otherwise). There are just to many unsolved cases out there now that really do not lead to one explanation such as advanced secret military technologies or even 'aliens for another planet'. However we now seem to be in an era of some very exotic scientific discoveries some of which may seem to fit some examples of the phenomena. I think that leads many to start assuming that the phenomena can be and is produced by us or some secret group of 'us'. But once you study the history of the phenomena since 1947 onwards that interpretation starts falling flat. There may be no one explanation but instead multiple realities that are still to be discovered.
Been a believer all my life [75 yrs] in UFO's BUT! the one thing I can't accept is stories of "Encounters" and being brought "On Board" some craft that whisked the so called "Abductee" off into space. I'm sorry it just doesn't hold water for me, why? because here's the question NO ONE has ever asked at least not on ANY TV show I have ever seen or book I ever read. "HOW & WHAT DID THE SO CALLED ABDUCTEE BREATH" space is a vacume NO OXYGEN what WE as humans DEPEND UPON. Our astranauts bring along their own supply, does a UFO have a TANK FULL ON BOARD? This question has baffled me for many years, a human in space without OXYGEN? hardly, :-(.

You're one tank short bruh.
I hate to tell the Air Force or whomever in government that was "afraid to put this footage out" WE ARE NOT SURPRISED, SCARED, OR UPSET" To finally acknowledge what most of us intuitively realize is true: We are not alone. This gives the Air Force so much more credibility with me and many others. It's ok to admit you don't have all the answers. The public already knows this. Don't think any less of the Air Force for it. Just keep learning and sharing.

The Pope it appears is preparing his followers, to welcome "The Antichrist" who arrives in a space ship. The Bible on the other hand states in Revelation 8:8 "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. . ." This Prophecy of God's angel, MIchael the Archangel, coming to John on the Island of Patmos in 95 A.D. is a parable of Jesus. Embedded into prophecy now 1295 years ago, are "symbols" to name a few, for "waters" and "mountain." "Waters" in Revelation 17:15 are people, multitudes of people, languages (tongues) and nations in other words a "sea of humanity." In I Timothy 1:18-19 "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:" The symbol "mountain" Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
We were born into a Great Controversy between good and evil. GOD is solving His problem by limiting Lucifer, the created, to prove he cannot be THE CREATOR. All who call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Yes, we are in the game of life, and can exit into the Orion's Horsehead Nebula, knowing GODS ICON is WHITE HORSE and Heaven has made its unanimous decision in favor of good over evil. Satan and his angels will be destroyed by God. Thank you, Connie here, a student of Bible Symbols
We have become like the gods knowing good and evil. We need the help from a higher source. Bless You! The prophecy continues: Rev_9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Rev_16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
The King of the EAST, is the second coming of Jesus. Some will welcome Him and other flee from Him. Some will call for the rocks to fall upon them, rather than meeting their maker. Thank you, Connie here, a student of Bible Symbols. Yes, I did publish a children's book on Bible Symbols, that includes 9-11-2001. Westbow Press, THE RED HORSE, War against the government of God.

I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking group called dark web, they are really good at what they are doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying . Few days later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to 5,000 Euro. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life with my Family. So far i have being able to withdraw up to 50,000 Euro without any stress of being caught. I don't know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. email Mr Rex via rexwalkerhacker@gmail.com
I was searching for loan to sort out my bills & debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Card that can be hacked and withdraw money from any ATM machines around you anywhere in the world . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting united blank ATM hack card they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $20,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 72 hours later, i was shock to see the Courier agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. Contact these email if you wants to get rich with this....Via email: ccchackers002@gmail.com

Before the era of barcodes, safety inspections and quality checks were recorded by hand often in a ledger or log book. This type of record-keeping is not always accurate, especially when dealing with hundreds of thousands of items. What is more, human error is natural and always a factor in this type of situation.
In manufacturing industries, resources or raw materials go through dozens of checks and inspections to ensure their stability and quality. These tests are recorded for verification purposes, allowing inspectors to monitor the status and consistency of specific batches. By simply scanning the barcode after each phase of testing, quality assurance monitors have an accurate record of all materials or products at all times.
However, printing barcodes goes further than just quality assurance, especially in some of manufacturing industrials could be highly regulated, highly volatile industries in which the risks of an incident can be quite high if proper precautions aren ot taken. Barcodes can actually ensure the safety of employees, and can be created to allow and deny access to potentially dangerous jobsites, creating a safe barrier for those who might unknowingly try to enter. By equipping certified employees with special barcodes that react with sensory doors and elevators, maximum safety can be achieved. Barcodes provide a solution to monitoring and tracking these resources, taking the guesswork out of potentially dangerous situations.
Barcodes are making an impact on manufacturing industries every day. By creating tracking solutions for materials and helping to identify potential hazards in the workplace, it is more and more common for organizations to generate barcodes in order to achieve integral standards for safety.

Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) database maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). ITIS was selected as the taxonomic name server for Morphbank in 2004 because it represented the most complete comprehensive taxonomic name service available at the time. Also, the entire database could be downloaded locally making access to the data quick and efficient. ITIS is a consistent service. It has a high level of stability and a rigid review system. Since ITIS is maintained by the USDA, the probability that the service will be persistent for several years is high. Taxonomic names are entered into the system and panel of experts periodically review the names for quality assurance.
The Morphbank development team recognized early in the development of the system, the need for a Taxonomic Name Server that would supply the scientific names needed in determination of species. However, there were none available that contained all of the recognized names. ITIS was chosen because it
contained the most complete set of names at the time,
has a formal method for adding new names and
because the system is supported by the USDA ensuring the longevity of the system.
Because the addition of new names to the ITIS system does take some time, the Morphbank team established a method to add names to Morphbank. This allows scientists use the taxonomic name of their choice to identify a specimen in Morphbank. Names added to Morphbank have 9-digit Morphbank taxonomic serial numbers (mtsn) beginning with 999 to differentiate them from ITIS tsns.
Currently, no taxonomic name updates are sent to ITIS and the ITIS taxon names in Morphbank are from the initial installation. There are plans to completely revise the workflow regarding taxonomy. Morphbank envisions a system for users to explicitly provide a link to a taxon name in an existing taxonomy (ITIS, uBio, USDA Plants, IPNI ...) to identify a given specimen. The taxon name and its relevant data may display with the specimen data and image uploaded to Morphbank. In essence, Morphbank intends to pull names from existing taxonomic name servers instead of uploading taxon names and taxonomic hierarchies.


Crime in Redbridge has risen by 3.7% since January 2011 with burglary seeing the largest increase with a 15% rise.
Wanstead is the second highest place for burglary in the borough, and it looks set to increase.
Sources told the Wanstead Society that, with heightened security in Stratford, criminal gangs from those areas are fanning out into neighbouring areas – namely Wanstead, Leytonstone, Ilford and Barking – as it has become too dangerous for them to operate near the Olympic site.
Of course, all of this coincides with a general reduction in police numbers across England. The number of police officers in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest level for a decade with just 135,838 police officers in September 2011 – 6,012 fewer than the 141,850 there had been a year earlier. Police civilian numbers have also fallen by 11% over the same period.
Chief Constable Peter Fahy, the Association of Chief Police Officers' lead for workforce development, told the BBC that it was "not surprising" to see a fall in the numbers of officers as most police forces had seen significant cuts.
"We will shortly enter the most difficult financial year for policing in living memory but forces have the plans to cope with what will be a most challenging time," he said.
With crime up, police numbers falling and Wanstead Police Station still under threat, the outlook for Wanstead, Snaresbrook and Aldersbrook looks grim.
What makes this issue so topical is that there is a Mayoral election on 4th May this year. Who ever wins will have financial control over London's police force for the next 4 years. Whilst there is a lot of focus on the Olympics – which is only right – what happens after? Police budgets are going to be even tighter than they are now, and the MET will be looking for a saving.
Listen to what they say. It might just influence how you vote.
This is what we are fighting against – this is why we exist!
Our partners at Living Streets, formally the Pedestrian Association, have undertaken an audit in a section of Ilford called the Commonwealth Estate with the aim of promoting how it could be improved. Reading their report is a very sad experience. Ilford, with its once beautiful double fronted Victorian homes, has been destroyed over the last half century.
Parking in front gardens has lead to the removal of any green or pleasant frontages, pavements are cracked, there are no street trees and the rise of rented accommodation and absentee landlords who turn large homes into small flats has left the area scarred and barren, void of its once pleasant street scene.
This is what we are fighting against, and why the Society exists. Without the Society keeping an eagle eye on what developers are doing, it could all so easily happen to us!
The Society campaigns for good quality, and sympathetic development that seek to preserve and enhance our community. We lobby the Council for good quality public realm improvements, such a better lights and paving, and seek to aid developers and businesses with advice on how best to renovate our historic buildings.
Don't let this happen to Wanstead. Join the Society and help support us protect our community. Wanstead is worth keeping.
Rise of the rats – but where are the bins?
The Wanstead Society has been campaigning for the installation of more bins, with lids, on Christchurch Green.
Sadly we have not been getting very far, as observed by some of our eagle-eyed members who have sent in these photos of Christchurch Green taken on a Monday morning following a sunny weekend. As you can see, it's not the prettiest of sights.
Now, we have to be fair – if some people weren't so irresponsible with their litter there would be less of a rat/fox problem in Wanstead. So it's not just a Council issue, it's a Wanstead problem that we all must take control of.
However as can be seen, a few more bins, with lids, in the park wouldn't go amiss… so if your listening Redbridge, please help!
Is our Police Station about to be sold off?
It would seem that the building in Spratt Hall Road is worth some where in the region of £3-5 million – an attractive prospect for the cash-strapped Metropolitan Police.
A 2007 report commissioned by the Met said the station was "underused" and was a prime target to be "sold off".
The Borough Commander admitted in 2010 that there were no "imminent" plans to sell the station, which means there are plans to sell it, but they are not yet in place.
Whilst we all realise that police need modern working facilities and are in desperate need of funds, there are some very salient points that need answering.
When the station was re-opened in 2004/5 crime fell by 23% in Wanstead.
The nearest police station after Spratt Hall Road is Woodford, or Ilford. This means increased response times.
If Wanstead were to close, the London Borough of Redbridge – which has over 268,000 people living in it – would be reduced to 3 police stations. That's 1 police station for every 90,000 residents!
At weekends, only Ilford and Barkingside stations are open 24 hours as it is.
Closing the station before the Olympics would seem unlikely, but not impossible.
Wanstead has lost nearly all of its major community facilities. The fire station went many years ago, the hospital went in the 1990s – and what there is of it that's left, looks likely to go as well. The police station is the last reaming facility still operating. We have no other public facilities running in the buildings or places they were designed for.
The Wanstead Society has little doubt that there is a long fight ahead of it, and as such, is teaming up with the Counties Residents Association to see if we can get any more info, which we will pass on. So watch this space and have this one on your radar!
Seriously, I dare say this could easily happen if something drastic isn't done about the rats which not only I, but others have seen, even in day-light. It seems to me that there is every likelihood of a link between the lack and poor design of the bins overflowing with litter and any creatures that want to explore them. In June 2009 a letter I wrote to the local paper about the lack and poor design of the bins on the Green was used as a basis for an article; the paper made its own enquiry and was told that people should take their litter home with them.
Perhaps the way to change the public's expectation that litter bins will be there, is to remove them completely – then we would really find out what people would do with their rubbish!

Scotland facing renewables 'planning logjam', according to new report
Scotland is facing a "planning logjam" which could jeopardise the country's 2045 net zero targets, according to new research.
by Hamish Penman
23/11/2020, 11:27 am Updated: 24/11/2020, 10:17 am
An onshore wind farm.
A study carried out by industry body Scottish Renewables found the number of planners employed across Scotland's 32 councils has fallen by 20% in the last nine years, from 1,515 in 2011 to 1,216 in 2020.
That's despite a predicted rise in the number of green energy applications that will need to be rubber stamped in the coming years.
According to Scottish Renewables, the UK must quadruple the amount of renewable electricity deployed by 2050 in order to meet its climate change targets.
The report shows that, in the past decade, Scotland's renewable energy capacity has grown from 2.8 gigawatt (GW) to 11.6GW.
In that time, 417 planning applications were granted from the 800 submitted solely for generation technologies, such as wind and solar farms and hydropower projects.
However, in order to meet the Climate Change Committee's most ambitious "speculative" scenario, 134GW of renewable electricity generation must be installed north of the border to meet net zero by 2045.
Claire Mack, Scottish Renewables chief executive, has described the situation as a "hidden obstacle" which shows "now is the time to commit to positive reform".
She said: "It is quite clear from this research that Scotland's local authorities do not have the capacity to deal with the large number of planning consents which will be required as we shift our energy system to one based on renewable generation.
"The Scottish Government's declaration of a climate emergency and our stretching 2045 net-zero target mean we have no choice but to act. Scotland needs reliable, low-cost and sustainable energy and an independent, robust and well-resourced planning system is at the heart of delivering the projects which can provide that."
Claire Mack, Scottish Renewables chief executive.
At Energy Voice's ETIDEX event last week, industry leaders called for governments to put the measures in place to kick start the delivery of green energy projects, warning that climate goals would be missed if deployment continues along its current trajectory.
The Scottish Government's 2020-21 Programme for Government detailed how its fourth National Planning Framework will be "aimed at radically accelerating emissions reduction".
However, those reforms are now delayed until late next year.
Scottish Renewables is calling on Holyrood to introduce a low-carbon assessment to the planning process and resource local authorities to ensure the right amount of renewable energy is deployed to meet net-zero.
Ms Mack added: "The scale of the challenge facing Scotland's energy system is undeniable.
"The renewable energy industry is already delivering almost 18,000 jobs and investing billions of pounds every year in Scotland.
"The opportunity to do much more as we transition to net-zero is clear, but without wind and solar farms, hydro schemes, district heating networks and the electricity transmission infrastructure that goes alongside them Scotland simply will not be able to reap the economic and environmental benefits of that energy transition.
"Local authority planning departments are on the front line of delivering those projects and we urge ministers to fund local authorities appropriately to allow them to deliver net-zero.
"The Scottish Government has shown in its Programme for Government that it is committed to reforming the planning system to deliver that ambitious target.
"The speed of the transition which we must undertake if we are to do so is unprecedented and Ministers must now take account of the need for the planning system, at all levels, to deliver consents for renewable energy schemes faster and in greater volumes than ever before."
Planning Minister Kevin Stewart said: "We recognise the critical role of planning in helping to meet our net zero targets. A draft National Planning Framework 4 is due to be laid in the Scottish Parliament in September 2021 for scrutiny and public consultation.
"In the meantime we will confirm the importance of climate change in shaping our long term spatial strategy and national planning policies in a Position Statement, to be published shortly.
"In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, proposed changes to the planning performance and fee regime have been postponed due to the potential impact on businesses.
"Although changes to fees have been paused, Ministers remain committed to ensuring that planning authorities are properly resourced and that planning fee levels are proportionate, and will take forward the changes to regulations as soon as the timing is appropriate."

Title: Crosslingual comparison of linguistic phenomenon in English, Japanese and Chinese
Authors: Gao, Eshley Huini
Keywords: DRNTU::Humanities
Source: Gao, E. H. (2012). Crosslingual comparison of linguistic phenomenon in English, Japanese and Chinese. Final year project report, Nanyang Technological University.
Abstract: Recent trend in computational linguistics tend to focus on how to represent meaning. The availability of parallel corpus has allowed researchers to study how languages convey the same information in different ways. This study adopts a quantitative and qualitative method to study translation shifts in the short novel – The Adventure of the Dancing Men. The parallel tri-text corpus in English-Japanese-Chinese is a sub-corpus of the NTU Multilingual Corpus. We tagged the concepts according to the senses in the WordNets, and annotated relationships between translation correspondents. The results show that 49.60% and 50.87% of distinct synsets in the English source text were linked in the English-Japanese and English-Chinese corpus respectively. Of the total linked concepts, 51.58% and 60.07% of them are exact correspondents of the source language in the English- Japanese and English-Chinese corpus correspondingly. The remaining contribute to evidence for translation shifts, which includes direct differentiation like hyponymy relationship to less straightforward variation like translation equivalents. The study also attempts to describe some of the translation shifts observed in the corpus. We estimate that more than half of the translation shifts were due to language differences, although translating style also played a part in the shifts. Data from this study can be used to train machine translation systems to produce more human-like translations. Second language learners of Japanese and Chinese can also take advantage of the data to learn how the same idea can be transmitted in different ways.

The Sound Experience of the Un-Deaf
Tired, or maybe it's just the head. It's achy. I mean the neck and the nerves there. It's nerve-ache. Spirit-ache. Whatever-ache. It's been a while, or not, I am not sure. But I felt like the time had stretched and then constricted, a little strangely for these past few days. or more. I don't know. I am not making this up. I don't care.
Meditation to the sounds of nature, does twist you senses around like that, I suppose.
The sounds of the world, exposed to the sound-sensitive person like me, seem to have swallowed me up. I could not find myself, if I let it eat me from all sides. I may just get sucked into a sound-warped world.
It started a few days ago, after what it seemed like the normal spin of my days (or nights), where I slept when most were awake, and headed to bed, when most were buzzing like bees ready to tweak their honey-loaded piece of what-is-that.
I found myself, awake, my eye-lids widely-closed, my center, internally absorbing the silence that comforted and disturbed me in the wee hours of this particular morning. The people-associated noise were nil.
Except for the sounds of the occasional chatter of a nut, in my mind, nothing else existed. It was still dark outside, and inside, a still darkness wrapped around me, I could feel it. Just before the self knew what it was intending to do, I let myself slip into the game of noticing every single source of sounds, that my ear could detect, before the day-people started their routine.
With lid-shut eyes, here were the sounds I heard:
My un-pranayama like breathing, with the beating sounds of the heart that radiated to my head.
The ceiling fan swooshing to its on beat.
The sound of the most-early-morning crickets that comforted me, as long as the crickets were outside, not inside.
The chirping of the early birds, singing very cheerfully.
The talking lizards that spoke in a room somewhere
The occasional barks from dogs from a distance.
The random creaks the house made to amuse nobody.
The slapping of the sliding doors against concrete or metal.
The passing winds, just passing through, just passing through.
The engine of a car revving, the day was dawning for day-time wanderers, sun-worshipers.
The passing vehicles, the tires giving off the sounds uniquely associated with them rolling off of the asphalt.
The sound as I ran my finger nails on my scalp.
The distance sound of my mother visiting the bathroom, her early morning ritual.
The sound of water being flushed.
The sound of the door-knob turning, a door opening.
The sound of the feet touching the floor, and the other mysterious sounds the feet made.
The sound of the TV being switched on, the noise that followed.
The sound of that came from her throat,
The sound that came from my own throat.
Opened my eyes, and felt, like the world could have eaten me for dessert, and I wouldn't even notice, or mind.

L'outrage public à la pudeur se réfère à un acte répréhensible dans l'espace public ou (dans certaines juridictions) une violation du droit à la pudeur, démontrée par une indécence naturelle, telle qu'une exhibition sexuelle, une relation sexuelle ou même une masturbation à la vue d'un public. De telles activités sont souvent illégales.

Droit par pays

Canada
Bien que le Code criminel du Canada nomme cette infraction criminelle « actions indécentes » plutôt qu'outrage public à la pudeur, il s'agit de termes synonymes. Cette infraction est prévue à l'article 173 (1) C.cr.

France
L'outrage public à la pudeur était un délit réprimé dans  de l'ancien Code pénal de 1810 :

En 1960, à la suite de l'amendement Mirguet, l'ordonnance du  créant  de  du Code pénal, double la peine minimum pour outrage public à la pudeur quand il s'agissait de rapports homosexuels. Cette discrimination sera supprimée par la loi du , sur proposition du gouvernement Raymond Barre (présentée par Monique Pelletier, secrétaire d'État, reprenant la proposition de loi  du  d'Henri Caillavet).

En France, le délit d'outrage à la pudeur a disparu dans le nouveau Code pénal de 1994. En droit positif fut mis au point une définition du délit d'exhibition sexuelle à travers  du Code pénal de 1994.

Ainsi, de manière à distinguer le délit d'exhibition sexuelle de la nudité simple, on ne peut plus invoquer la pudeur pour punir celle-ci.

Autres
Outrage public à la pudeur est également le titre en français d'un roman de Tom Sharpe (titre original : Indecent Exposure), la suite de Mêlée ouverte à Zoulouland, deux intrigues situées en Afrique du Sud dépeignant une société blanche grotesque et violente.

Rich woods, sprigs of green, lace, and cream adorned this Galway Downs wedding. Taking inspiration from "glamping," the bride and groom's traveling experiences, and an earthy color palette, the location with huge trees and greenery provided the perfect landscape for Amanda and Kenny's day. The rain on their wedding day didn't dampen anyone's spirits and seemed to fit right in with their nature influenced decor and earthy color scheme. Time to bust out the see through umbrellas! (Arguably the cutest accessory for a rainy day). The variety among the bridesmaids dresses and groomsmens tuxedos were unique and personable, the different hues created a stunning and individual touch to their ceremony. This happy couple displayed their harmony through their adornments and individual touches. Though there was none in the sky, we felt a spark of lightning between these two.
Oh, Madam Palooza!! How we LOVE every little thing that you do!! How amazing is this scene that they set up for us??!!
Amanda and Kenny- thanks for being so lovely and letting us capture your day!

Q: Pass JSON object from child component to parent component In a quick summary what I have implemented is a photoupload system. I have a div that displays the preview of the image uploaded. This div lies in the parent component we will call parent.jsx. Inside the child component we call child.jsx I have implemented an upload system.
Inside child.jsx I have the following code:
const FileUpload = React.createClass({
render: function() {
    return(

        //dropzone is essentially a file input element
        <Dropzone multiple={false} onDrop={this._onDrop}>
        </Dropzone>

    );
  },
  _onDrop: function(files) {
    this.setState({
      photo: files
    });
  },

I want to pass the photo object into my parent file and display it in the following div with this conditional:

    {this.state.coverPhoto.map(function(file) {return ;})}

I was thinking about creating a function that returns the photo object when called upon in the child component. maybe something like this within the child component:
returnFiles: function() {
    return Photo
  }

Then in the parent component I can call FileUpload.returnFiles and set my state with whats returned. Any ideas?

A: While I believe it makes intuitive sense to call a child component's function, this breaks one of the fundamental reasons why React is such a great tool.
React greatly reduces the complexity of an application by restricting the flow of data from parent to child.
However, just like any other piece of data in JavaScript, you can pass down functions to children. This way they are only called in the child's scope, but handled where you need them.
const Parent = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return(
      <Child onDrop={this.handleOnDrop}
    );
  },
  handleOnDrop: function(files) {
    this.setState({
      photo: files
    });
  }
}

const Child = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    <Dropzone multiple={false} onDrop={this.props.onDrop} />
  }
})

What "Checking the Nuts on the River" Means in Poker
Written by Primoz in Postflop
Checking the nuts on the river is often misunderstood, and is one of the most controversial and debated topics in poker. It's not a new rule, but because it's not applicable in every poker game, a lot of players, even poker pros, miss it. Some players also misuse the rule on checking the nuts, referencing televised tournaments when playing casual cash games.
There are exemptions to it because, in some cases, checking the nuts doesn't affect anyone except the player who holds the nut hand. But let's define what a nut hand is, and how it is different from absolute nuts. The difference between these two will come into play as we dive deep into the controversy surrounding the rule on checking the nuts.
What is a Nut Hand or Nuts?
What Does Checking the Nuts Mean?
Can You Check the Nuts on the River?
Exemptions to the Rule
Controversy in Checking the Nuts on the River
Nut hand is the strongest or best possible combination of cards in a poker game at any given time. An absolute nut hand, on the other hand, is a combination of hole and community cards that puts a player in an unbeatable position under any circumstance.
If the board has 6♦ 7♦ A♥ 10♦ 6♣, the player who holds 8♦ 9♦ has the absolute nut hand. The player knows this because his cards complete a straight flush, and there is no possible combination of hole and community cards that can beat a 9-high straight flush of diamonds in this table.
There is no possible hand combination that can beat you in this scenario. You have the absolute nut hand.
Although a nut hand is the strongest combination of cards in a table, it isn't necessarily the same as the absolute nut. For example, in the same table, if one player holds 8♦ 9♥, he knows that he has the nut hand because it's impossible for another player to complete a straight flush. The 9-high straight flush of diamonds remains the absolute nut for this table; it's just not in play.
Ace-high flush, full house, or even quads doesn't automatically mean absolute nuts, but it's most likely a nut hand.
Another excellent example of an absolute nut hand is a royal flush in Texas Hold 'em. Unless the royal flush is the community cards, no two players can hold a royal flush at the same time! Therefore, a player who has this hand must display justifiable aggression.
Nuts may also refer to a hand in the flop or turn, making nut hands very vulnerable to changes as the game progresses.
Absolute nuts, on the other hand, remain the same throughout the game. It will always be the best possible combination under any circumstance.
Checking the nuts is when you have the nut hand or absolute nuts, and as the last player to act, your move is to check or flat-call your hand.
This move creates a huge controversy because a player can never be on the losing side while holding the nuts, so everyone is expecting that player to show justifiable aggression or create action. It's the responsibility of the players to recognize nuts, and not capitalizing on it is the main ingredient for a boring poker game.
If a player bets, the nuts should raise; if everyone checks, the nuts should bet. Checking the nuts makes the game less entertaining. It's like watching a home game where everyone is friendly and doesn't have the intention of taking down other players. That's the reason why it became a controversial and highly debated topic.
In cash games, you are allowed to check the nuts on the river. But in televised tournaments, such move is considered illegal and you might sit out the whole blind rotation.
Checking the nuts on the river is acceptable. For real, yes. Not in tournaments, though. People who watch televised poker tournaments know that checking the nuts is an illegal move, and they refer to it when playing cash games. The truth is that checking the nuts on the river is a legal move in almost every cash game.
Before you start hating me, let's find out why checking the nuts on the river is not allowed in tournaments.
Televised tournaments, enforce a rule that players can't check the nuts on the river. Checking or flat-calling unbeatable hands incur a penalty that may vary from sitting out a hand or a full blind rotation at the tournament director's discretion.
The implementation of this rule aims to prevent collusion with other players, which can significantly affect the outcome of the tournament. However, most cases of checking the nuts were due to oversight or failure to realize that they have an unbeatable hand.
Checking the nuts can give two or more players an unfair advantage because it can mislead or deceive other players. Theoretically, two or more players working with each other can increase their chances of winning the tournament, as long as they are not playing against each other.
Players who are conspiring with each other can use different strategies, including checking the nuts to gather more information about other players, or to stay in the game for as long as possible.
In tournaments, one player checking the nuts on the river can significantly affect the outcome of the game. It affects even the players who are not in hand.
However, if the player who has the nuts is not the last to act, then there's no reason to penalize the player.
Checking the nuts on the river when a player is first to act is a widespread practice that a lot of poker pros use. When players do this, they're hoping for a check-raise. This strategy intends to create an impression of a weak card, and provoke other players to inflate the pot.
There's no room for collusion when the player is in early position, and it's only a matter of oversight or the intent to get a check-raise. Checking the nut on the river only becomes illegal when the player who has the nut is the last to act before a winner is determined.
Most cash games don't implement the same rule for checking the nuts.
It barely affects anyone other than the player who has the nuts. The ambiguity and level of play in cash games create very little room for collusion. All forms of soft play, including checking the nuts on the river, is acceptable for most cash games.
Collusion was the main reason for banning a player who checks the nuts on the river. However, there are other strategic reasons why someone would want to keep another player in the table. It could be to learn about the playing style of other players, which may be beneficial later in the game.
A lot of players feel that this rule takes away their freedom to strategize their game. Colluding players will always find a way to cooperate, and in this case, both of them can make minimum raises to keep them in play for as long as possible and gather as much data as they can.
We don't condone collusion, but sometimes checking the nuts on the river offers more benefits for the entirety of the game. Different players practice different playstyles, and taking out an integral part in their plan makes it harder for them to formulate a winning strategy.
Nevertheless, if you find yourself with the nuts in a tournament, it would be best to bet and apply proper aggression. You'll end up winning a lot more and gain a better edge than if you were to flat-call or do nothing.
Lastly, if you're playing cash games, you don't have to bother yourself about this rule. Even if a player checks the nuts on the river, it'll barely affect other players, so there's no reason to worry about it.

The economic and political authorities of the Republic of Cyprus are undergoing a process of urgent management, since there a strong possibility of a financial derailment if the Cypriot government is called upon to pay EUR 1.2 billion retrospectively from the cut to the salaries of civil servants during the economic crisis that hit the country.
On Monday, the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, in a meeting with parliamentary leaders, informed about the next steps of the government, mainly at the legal level regarding the decision of the administrative court. Steps that focus on the appeal that follows.
The issue has been the focal point of political dialogue, with developments expected in the coming period. This was also reported by competent sources saying that the effort by the Cypriot people and the parties was titanic and that the decisions of 2011 and 2012 to deal with the extraordinary financial situation were taken unanimously by the House – and in this spirit the President of the Republic wanted to include the political powers, in order to share a common concern.
The Cypriot government seems ready to go as far as the amendment of the Constitution until the appeal is adjudicated, so that there can be no doubt that it can cover the measures taken in exceptional circumstances, such as the exceptional situation of the economy of the place in 2012-2013, as and any additional legislative measures that might be needed.
"All this is subject to developments in the field of justice. Because some legal questions have also been raised – there is indeed a legal discussion about the decision and with the context as a whole – it was agreed that a new meeting will be convened as soon as possible, attended by the Attorney General, who will be able to give a strong opinion for some legal aspects", the government spokesman said on the issue.
At this stage, the Cypriot government and the President of the Republic are in constant consultation with the Attorney General who, for his part, expects relevant political decisions, so the next period will be a period of intense preparation on the issue.
On 29 March, the three-member Administrative Court ruled unanimously as unconstitutional the 2012 Law on the Reduction of the Salaries and Pensions of Officials, Employees and Pensioners of the State Service and the General Public Sector, while also unconstitutional were ruled the cuts on Retirement Benefits of the Of State Employees and Employees of the Public Sector (cut off part of their gross earnings as a contribution to the Fixed Fund of the Republic) and the Non-Concession Pre-increases and cost of living increases in salaries of Officials and Employees, the State Pensions Service and the wider public sector.
