U.S. officials can now carry sidearms in these preclearance zones, conduct strip searches, record and keep passenger information, and detain Canadian citizens.
Even if a Canadian official is "unwilling" to conduct a search or has deemed a detainment unnecessary, a U.S. official can override that call. In other words, Canadian law enforcement can now be countermanded within Canada by Americans.
This new authority also allows U.S. border guards to deny Canadians their right of withdrawal.
Before the amendment to the law was enacted, if a person felt at all uncomfortable in the course of preclearance questioning she could simply leave, retracting her intention to cross the border with no penalty.
Now, as a result of amendments, the guard is entitled to detain her if he finds "reasonable grounds" to do so. And the request to leave in itself could be construed as reasonable grounds.>

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?" Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC
"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat." 1914 translation by H. Rackham
"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."
After a child is vaccinated with live polio virus, the virus replicates inside the child's intestine and eventually is excreted.
In places with poor sanitation, fecal matter can enter the drinking water supply and the virus is able to start spreading from person to person.
"We discovered there's only a few [mutations] that have to happen and they happen rather quickly in the first month or two post-vaccination," Andino says.
"As the virus starts circulating in the community, it acquires further mutations that make it basically indistinguishable from the wild-type virus.
It's polio in terms of virulence and in terms of how the virus spreads."
In June, the World Health Organization reported 15 cases of children paralyzed in Syria by vaccine-derived forms of polio.
These cases come on top of two other vaccine-derived polio cases earlier this year in Syria and four in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.>

Refractors give a nice contrasty image for planets in our solar system.
I would say they are probably something like 1/5th the cost you usually need to spend for the same image quality.
If 1% less is ok (Boeing) test to 1% less,
if 3% less is ok (Airbus) make the limit 3% less.
Not enforcing a limit smells bad and does not fill me with confidence.
Strengthening the failure area will change the failure modes to other areas and may well make it fail at an even lower limit as other areas will be bending more to make up for the reduced deflection of the area that is strengthened.
Not re-testing it after a design change like this worries me.
One has to wonder if companies like Apple have considered such consequences.
Also growing plants and converting to fuel is exceedingly cheap for diesel
And before anyone gets worried about food prices going up.. it takes a surprisingly small amount of land mass to cover currect sneeds in energy, sorry no references no time..
Less water in the sewer is only going to create problems for the flow rates further down the line, Possibly blockages in the pipe on your property.
and i would prefer not to put silicone (if that is what they are using as it is "like hair conditioner") as some silicones can take 400 to 500 years to break down
Doesn't sound like its farewell at all...
just possibly giving Cortana direct access to everything you type in email, documents, excel.. the list goes on

Man makes record thrown into space containg enough info to remake man in his own image
Long after man is extinct aliens to man make man from image on record.
Man discovers he was made from image of disk made millions of years ago.
So many variations possible..
"Boeing also has to to bring airline pilots into 737 Max simulators to assess how cockpit alerts and other factors affect pilot workload."
"Boeing needs to conduct a certification flight with officials and regulators also still have to sign off on new pilot training, which the company expects to have in January."
"Even after the planes are fully cleared to fly, airlines will have to train thousands of their 737 pilots before they can operate commercially. That process can take more than a month."
