Q: While searching a string I cannot retrieve strings which consist of a symbol(.,& ) between characters I am using elastic search 7.3,
My data consists of strings like:
K&S
K.S.
K S
KS
KS.
when I search for K S I don't get any result for K&S.
I have tried normalizer for this problem but still not getting relevant results.
this is the index definition:

                            "fuzziness": 2,
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }

The result must contain all the string regarding K S .
When I search for K S, result should be,
K&S
K S
KS
K.S.
KS.

Q: Switch to a different repository in Git One situation in Git that I still find confusing is this:
$ git clone https://github.com/dude1/project

Whoops, that's not really the right version. I'll switch over:
$ git remote add dude2 https://github.com/dude2/project
$ git fetch dude2
$ git checkout dude2/master

Note: checking out 'dude2/master'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at f3o845a...

Hrm. I want master to refer to dude2/master.
$ git checkout -b master dude2/master

fatal: A branch named 'master' already exists.

Short of deleting the whole directory and starting again, how do I cleanly switch repositories?

A: In git you are not supposed to commit work on remote branches (you are supposed to do your work on local branches), that is why you are put in 'detached head' state when you checkout dude2/master. Remote branches should contain copies of commits coming from remotes, never commits created locally.
As jthill suggests, the best way to force a switch of what master means is to
git checkout -B master dude2/master

The output should include
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from dude2.

Indicating that your master is now tracking the changes of a different remote master.

A: Thinking this through, the obvious answer is:
First git checkout dude2/master as above. Then:
$ git branch -d master
warning: deleting branch 'master' that has been merged to
     'refs/remotes/dude1/master', but not yet merged to HEAD.
Deleted branch master (was f30845a).

$ git checkout -b master dude2/master
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from dude2.
Switched to a new branch 'dude2'

I have no idea what the warning when you delete the master is meant to mean though.

A Vancouver VIP Evening with The Travel Agent Next Door
Host Agency & Consortia	Michelle Froese June 12, 2019

Travel Pulse Canada attended a special VIP supplier event, hosted by The Travel Agent Next Door, last week in Vancouver, BC. Created to support the retail travel industry, with a focus on small, medium, and home-based travel agencies, The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) says it's one of the first host agencies to treat its suppliers to an evening of canapes, drinks, and networking.
"We had one main purpose in hosting this event," said Flemming Friisdahl, TTAND President and Founder, during a brief presentation at Vancouver Airport's Westin Wall Centre. "We wanted to ensure our suppliers out west know how important they are to us. We wanted to show our appreciation."

With headquarters in downtown Toronto and a branch office in Vancouver, The Travel Agent Next Door recognizes the importance of a strong presence throughout Canada.
"We knew we wanted to do something exciting out west after focusing on a new regional approach, which includes four key areas: western Canada, the prairies, Ontario, and eastern Canada." Friisdahl said it is important to ensure each region feels significant and never left out. "Western Canada represents about 30% of travel sales in the country, with a diverse clientele, and that's important to us."
A regional approach also helps suppliers who will better be able to focus their reps and business efforts. The continued growth and support of suppliers are key, said Friisdahl, who believes in a "3 W's" approach (a win for suppliers, agents, and TTAND). However, The Travel Agent Next Door is selective and strategically aligns itself with a limited number of suppliers. It has even created two distinct groups: preferred and approved suppliers.
"By focusing on fewer select suppliers, we believe we all benefit by receiving more focused and quality support from each of them," he said. And, so far, the numbers back this approach. "We've been able to achieve about 50% of our sales with preferred and 30% with approved suppliers."
In addition to supporting the development efforts of suppliers, TTAND is strongly devoted to its agents. "If I can save all of our agents 20 percent of their time, which they can then allocate to increasing sales or an improved work-life balance, then we all win."
During the presentation, Friisdahl introduced a new CRM (customer relationship management) platform. "We worked with developers to build our own customized program, specifically for our agents," he explained. The online system keeps agents apprised of how they're doing, if they're hitting targets, and lets them search for suppliers, clients, marketing support, etc. It even hosts warning messages, which pop up in the event of a critical travel emergency (say, an airline is grounded, or an airport shuts down).
"Our company was built around helping our agents and agencies succeed, and that's what we do," said Friisdahl.
"When we started The Travel Agent Next Door about five years ago, it was just three of us and now we have 700-plus agents," added Vice President Travel Agent Services, Penny Martin. She's been with TTAND since the beginning. "It's been a lot of work and dedication, and strong partnerships that we're proud of."

Faulty Service on Defunct LLC Spells Trouble for Judgment Creditor – IL 1st Dist.
In a case whose procedural progression spans more than a decade, the First District in John Isfan Construction v. Longwood Towers, LLC, 2016 IL App (1st) 143211 examines the litigation aftershocks flowing from a failure to properly serve a limited liability company (LLC).
The case also illustrates when a money judgment can be vacated under the "substantial justice" standard governing non-final judgments.
2014 – LLC members move to vacate the 2009 judgment. Motion is denied by the trial court and LLC members appeal.
Holding: The appeals court reversed the trial court and found that the 2009 default judgment was void.
The reason: Plaintiff's failure to properly serve the defunct LLC under Illinois law. As a result, a hefty money judgment was vacated.
A: A defendant must be served with process for a court to exercise personal jurisdiction over him. A judgment entered against a party who is not properly served is void.
Section 50 of the LLC Act (805 ILCS 180/1-50) provides that service of process on an LLC defendant must be made on (a) the LLC's registered agent or (b) the Secretary of State if the LLC doesn't appoint a registered agent or where the LLC's registered agent cannot be found at the LLC's registered office or principal place of business.
In the context of a dissolved LLC, the LLC Act provides that an LLC continues post-dissolution solely for the purpose of winding up. This is in contrast to the corporate survival statute that provides that a dissolved (non-LLC) corporation continues for five years after dissolution (This means the defunct corporation can be sued and served for up to five years after dissolution.) 805 ILCS 5/5.05.
The Court also rejected the plaintiff's argument that the erstwhile LLC members waived their objection to jurisdiction over the LLC by participating in post-judgment proceedings.
Another reason the Court voided the default judgment was the "substantial justice" standard which governs whether a court will vacate a judgment under Code Section 2-1301(e).
Under Illinois law, a default judgment is a drastic remedy and Illinois courts have a long and strong policy of deciding cases on the merits instead of on procedural grounds. In addition, when seeking to vacate a non-final default order, the movant does not have to show a meritorious defense or diligence in presenting the defense.
Applying these default order guideposts, the Court found that substantial justice considerations dictated that the default judgment be vacated. Even though the judgment was entered some five years before the motion to vacate was filed, it wasn't a final order.
Afterwords: This case provides a useful summary of the key rules that govern how to serve LLC's and particularly, dissolved LLC's. The case's "cautionary tales" are to (i) serve corporate defendants in accordance with statutory direction; and (ii) always request a finding of finality for default judgments where there are multiple parties or claims involved.
Had the plaintiff received a finding of finality, the LLC members' motion to vacate would have been untimely under Section 2-1401 – which requires a motion to attack a final judgment to be brought within two years and has a heavier proof burden than a 2-1301 motion. Still, it wouldn't have mattered here. The plaintiff's failure to properly serve the LLC meant the judgment was void and could have been attacked at any time.
Getting a judgment against an LLC member can trigger a high-anxiety response. That's because the normal post-judgment collection rules set out in Code Section 2-1402 and Supreme Court Rule 277 don't cleanly apply.
Section 30-20 of the LLC Act (805 ILCS 180/30-20) states that a creditor's exclusive remedy is to obtain a "charging order" against the LLC member's "distributional interest." Illinois cases describe Section 30-20 as a special remedy designed to allow a creditor of an LLC member to realize the value of the debtor's distributional interest in the LLC and also protect both the LLC's ability to function and the other members' LLC interests.
The LLC Act defines "distributional interest" as a "member's interest in distributions by the limited liability company." A distributional interest is not salary, wages, draws or reimbursement. To reach an LLC member's wages, for example, a creditor should still utilize a third-party citation on the LLC and seek a turnover of any wages to be paid to the debtor.
To obtain a charging order, the creditor files an application or motion with the Court ("Motion for Charging Order") and requests a charging order on the LLC member's interest in the LLC. The Motion is served on the debtor by regular mail and the creditor does not have to name the LLC as a party defendant.
The court also isn't required to have jurisdiction over the LLC for a charging order to issue against the member-debtor. See, Bank of America, N.A. v. Freed, 1-11-0749 et al., 2012 WL 6725894 (Ill. App. Ct. Dec. 28, 2012) (LLC is not a necessary party to creditor's charging order application).
The charging order impresses a lien (a hold) on the debtor's LLC interest and any distributions coming due to the debtor can be paid to the creditor. The lien on the distribution can also be foreclosed by the creditor filing a petition to foreclose the lien. The debtor's LLC interest can then be sold by the Sheriff or a private property – much like with any other asset sale. Any sale proceeds the debtor's distributional interest garners can be applied to the judgment amount.
To summarize, then, an LLC member's judgment creditor should follow this four-step enforcement process: (1) file a motion for a charging order against the LLC member's distributional interest; (2) serve the charging order on the LLC's manager and registered agent (so they know to forward the distribution to the creditor), (3) (if the debtor doesn't redeem and the judgment isn't satisfied after turnover of the distribution) file a motion to foreclose the charging order (appoint someone to evaluate and sell the distributional interest); and (4) schedule either a public or private sale of the debtor's distributional interest. I also serve a third-party citation directly on the LLC and ask for a turnover order on any wages, draws or other payments (that aren't distributions) to the debtor.
The comments to revised Section 5-112.5 make it clear that while a charging order is still the exclusive remedy for a creditor to impress a lien on an LLC member's distributional interest, the creditor can use citation/supplementary proceedings under Code Section 2-1402 and Rule 277 to obtain that charging order in the first place.
Going forward, and in light of Section 112.5 and until there are more published cases that more thoroughly examine the interplay between Section 112.5 with LLC Section 30/20, judgment creditors of an LLC member should (1) serve a citation on the debtor, (2) serve a third-party citation on the LLC (via its registered agent or manager); and (3) file a motion for a charging order against the debtor's LLC interest.
Once the charging order enters, the creditor can either receive distributions until the judgment is satisfied or try to more quickly monetize the debtor's LLC distribution by filing a petition to foreclose the charging order lien. A foreclosure sale buyer of the distributional interest will have rights to future distributions but does not get to exercise voting rights or make LLC business decisions.

The conference was organized with a focus on "Ocean Science: Understanding its various Processes" and it was a great success where eminent keynote speakers from various reputed organizations made their resplendent presence and addressed the gathering.
OMICS International feels proud to announce "3rd International Conference on Oceanography" (Oceanography-2015) which is going to be held during June 22-24, 2015 at Philadelphia, USA. We welcome and invite you to participate in this prestigious conference. OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events inclusive of 300+ Conferences, 500+ Workshops and 200+ Symposiums on various topics of Science & Technology across the globe with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 500+ Open Access journals which contains over 50000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board members.
Oceanographic fields and processes possess certain features that are not commonly encountered in some other areas of science and engineering. Oceanographic processes include coupling across a large range of scales and linkage between a numbers of factors of different nature. In recent times that nations have begun to recognize the size, diversity and complexity of the ocean industries and their importance to all. Too many people marine equals shipping, which is indeed an important industry as the world fleet carries over 90% of the world trade by tonnage and shipbuilding is a business worth over U.S. $32 billion per annum. Offshore oil & gas is the world's biggest marine industry where off production alone can have a value of more than $300 billion per annum. Submarine cables are now a huge business that provides the "worldwide" part of the world wide web and enables the very existence of the internet.

Track 1: Oceanography
Oceanography including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. The goal is to understand what controls the abundances, kinds, and temporal variation of organisms in the sea. The chemical and physical processes that influence species distribution and abundance are an integral part of biological oceanography. Likewise, biological processes in the oceans influence the chemistry of the seas, sediments, and even the atmosphere on local and global scales.
Climate- and human-driven changes in ocean chemistry (e.g., acidification, expanding low-oxygen conditions, nutrient loading, etc.) and associated impacts on biogeochemical cycles and marine ecosystems and also is to study the evolving role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle, in the face of environmental variability and change through studies of marine biogeochemical cycles and associated ecosystems.
Track 2: Global Warming and Climate Alteration
This addresses for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. In its 2014 report the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that scientists were more than 95% certain that most of global warming is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and other human (anthropogenic) activities. In fact, the ocean has absorbed so much heat—about 20 times as much as the atmosphere over the past half-century—that some models suggest that it is likely to warm the air another degree Fahrenheit (0.55° Celsius) worldwide over the coming decades. The acidification of the oceans due to climate change impairs the ability of coral reefs and shelled organisms to form skeletons and shells.
Surface currents make up only 8% of all water in the ocean, are generally restricted to the upper 400 m (1,300 ft) of ocean water, and are separated from lower regions by varying temperatures and salinity which affect the density of the water, which in turn, defines each oceanic region. Because the movement of deep water in ocean basins is caused by density driven forces and gravity, deep waters sink into deep ocean basins at high latitudes where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
Track 3: Marine Science and Engineering
Marine engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure, but also encompasses oceanographic engineering. Specifically, marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences, and can include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science, to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and also on-board systems and oceanographic technology, not limited to just power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships, submarines etc. Offshore construction is the installation of structures and facilities in a marine environment, usually for the production and transmission of electricity, oil, gas and other resources. Maritime law & Policy focuses on improving safety at sea by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations. It also sets out a number of international conventions specifically aimed at maritime safety, such as the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS).
Track 4: Geological Sciences
Geological Sciences may include the study of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. With the increasing pressure from diverse human activities in marine areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, concerns are being raised that deep-water fish stocks may be at serious risk of depletion. There is clear evidence of detrimental human impacts to cold-water coral, sponge reefs, hydrothermal vents, and seamounts, supporting the need for undertaking conservation action even if our scientific understanding of these ecosystems is still imperfect. Major existing and potential anthropogenic threats are posed by destructive fishing practices and illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, as well as mining, marine scientific research and bioprospecting with destructive impacts. Ocean acidification has been identified as a potentially serious threat to cold-water corals and other deep-water biodiversity.
In truth, coral reef habitats represent some of the densest and most varied ecosystems on Earth. Though they cover only 0.2 percent of the ocean's floor, scientists estimate that nearly one million species of fish, invertebrates, and algae can be found in and around the world's reefs.
Track 5: Coastal and Marine Resources: Sustainability
Many of the world's fishery resources are in danger of depletion. In addition, other living resources, such as mangroves, coral species and species amenable to bioprospecting, are subject to or under threat of overexploitation. The principal impact of overexploitation is unsustainable removal of marine and coastal living resources. The significant threats to biological diversity include habitat destruction, destructive fishing and Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing, and by-catch. Marine ecosystems are very important for the overall health of both marine and terrestrial environments. Marine ecosystems are among the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They include oceans, salt marshes, intertidal zones, estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, coral reefs, the deep sea, and the sea floor. They can be contrasted with freshwater ecosystems, which have a lower salt content. Since early civilisation, coastal areas have been attractive settling grounds for human population as they provided abundant marine resources, fertile agricultural land and possibilities for trade and transport. This has led to high population densities and high levels of development in many coastal areas and this trend is continuing into the 21st century.
We look forward to an exciting scientific event in the beautiful city of Philadelphia, USA.

£11.8m business support boost to unlock the potential of East Midlands' SME manufacturers
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 13 May 2019
Small to medium-sized (SME) manufacturers in parts of the East Midlands can start taking advantage of an £11.8million business support boost from today, dedicated to helping them grow and address key skills issues.
The Manufacturing Growth Programme, which is funded by ERDF and delivered by Economic Growth Solutions (part of Oxford Innovation), has been extended until September 2021 and will help a further 2400 companies to tackle barriers to growth, with the potential of creating 2500 new jobs.
Going forward, companies in Local Enterprise Partnership areas covering Greater Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire can access support for an array of improvement projects, such as continuous improvements, change, environmental and sustainability, leadership and management, marketing, people and skills, productivity and capacity, quality and strategy.
The additional funding aims to provide a more valuable and quality level of assistance from a local Manufacturing Growth Manager that has years of industry experience. An in-depth business diagnostic (via 'GROWTHmapper') and comprehensive action plan will be provided as part of the new programme, alongside improvement grants starting from £1000.
In response to company feedback, a series of manufacturing themed workshops have also been added and will be available from Summer 2019 to help bridge current skills needs within manufacturing businesses and support future skills requirements in line with Industry 4.0.
"In October 2016, we were given the task of setting up a programme capable of delivering over £10.3m of dedicated business support to SME manufacturers and I'm delighted to say that, thanks to the hard work of the staff and the Manufacturing Growth Managers on the ground, we have achieved that," explained Martin Coats, Operations Director of Oxford Innovation.
"Over the course of the last two and a half years we have helped more than 2000 SMEs to identify and overcome barriers to their growth and this has added millions of pounds to the local economy and created in excess of 3000 jobs, safeguarding thousands more in the process."
He continued: "Supporting manufacturers is not easy and you need a tailored approach, delivered by experts who understand what it is like working in industry.
"The Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and local Growth Hubs have seen first-hand the value we add to firms in their respective areas and this has resulted in their commitment to support us for another two and a half years.
"To make the most of this, we have joined forces with Oxford Innovation to deliver the extension of the programme and this will make us the country's largest business support organisation, primarily focusing on manufacturing."
The Manufacturing Growth Programme is available to small to medium-sized manufacturers who have an intention to grow, increase competitiveness and improve productivity while increasing turnover, creating new jobs and introducing new products/services and processes.
It is available to businesses in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, parts of the East Midlands, the South East and now within the Solent and Enterprise M3 regions.
Dean Barnes, Regional Director of the Manufacturing Growth Programme added:
"The £11.8m extension will provide enhanced support to more SME manufacturing businesses, as well as having the opportunity to add further value to those companies we have already supported.
"Our Manufacturing Growth Managers are trusted experts that understand the language MDs are talking and, through a new manufacturing diagnostic tool, can guide them on making the right decisions, before bringing in specialists on specific issues they are facing or opportunities they're looking to explore."
He concluded:
"Accessing MGP has never been easier. The process is slick, the scope of support is tailored to each company's needs, the diagnostic provides an in-depth look into their business and the results, as already proven, are making a real difference in terms of increased turnover, jobs and new products/processes."

Nandolo: The making of a raw deal?
Reactions to a Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism announcement of a presidential directive for State produce trader Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (Admarc) to buy pigeon peas (nandolo) at K230 per kilogramme (kg) have been diverse.
Through a statement dated September 12 2018 signed by the ministry's Principal Secretary Ken Ndala, President Peter Mutharika urged pigeon peas farmers to sell their produce to Admarc and to avoid dealing with intermediaries or vendors.
For the record, the stated price of K230/kg is K90/kg less than the circulated minimum price of K320/kg initially announced.
That said, no farmer sold their nandolo at K320/kg. With the financially-stressed Admarc not buying the produce when smallholder farmers sought markets, the poor farmers had no option but to dance to the tunes of 'unscrupulous' vendors who stormed their areas with unassized weighing scales and bought the legume at as low as K40/kg in some cases.
For four months or so after harvest, the pigeon peas farmers faced exploitation. Nobody seemed to care about their plight. Few lucky ones offloaded their produce at K120/kg.
Parliament's Committee on Agriculture has described the presidential directive as ill-timed. Nandolo Farmers Association of Malawi-a grouping of pigeon peas farmers-has called for the suspension of the purchases by Admarc.
What is clear from the reactions is that smallholder farmers are short-changed. They are getting a raw deal.
The purported buyer, Admarc, is financially struggling. It recently got a K45 billion bailout from Treasury. It was struggling to buy maize, its mainstay, due to lack of funds. Where has Admarc found the market for the pigeon peas? Where has it sourced the funds to 'buy' the nandolo?
In my view, the biggest loser in the whole deal is the smallholder farmer who is helplessly watching the vendors or 'middlemen' who bought the crop from them for a song pushing truckloads to Admarc markets.
I smell a conspiracy where 'big boys', in the name of the poor farmer in Nyezelera, Phalombe, are engaging in some sort of organised crime to siphon public funds by way of laundering through Admarc. How else can one explain this?
Picture this true story: A peasant farmer sold her nandolo to a vendor at K40/kg only three weeks ago. She sold 26.5 bags each weighing 50 kg at K2 000/bag and earned a paltry K53 000. The vendor, obviously a 'big boy', is selling the same to Admarc at K230/kg or K11 500/50kg bag, making a cool K9 500 profit from each bag. If this is not a raw deal ('theft by tricks') then what is?

Box Office: 'Captain America: Civil War' Delivers Fifth-Best Opening Ever With $181.8 Million
by Nick Roman on May 9, 2016 at 10:30 am
It's another record-breaking victory for Marvel Studios and Disney, as Captain America: Civil War earned an outrageous $181.8 million in North America, delivering the fifth-best opening ever!
This incredible opening is coupled with the $220 million the film brought in from overseas ticket sales. Considering the film opened in international markets last week, its continued staying power is all the more impressive. With a foreign total of $496.6 million, Captain America: Civil War has reached a worldwide total of $678 million in just 12 days. This further solidifies Disney's stranglehold on the cinematic market, between this, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the astonishing success of Zootopia, which continues to rake in the big bucks in its second month of release. Moreover, Disney held not only the No. 1 spot at the box office, but the No. 2 spot as well, as The Jungle Book earned $21.9 million to bring its domestic haul to a stunning $285 million.
But back to Cap, for a minute.
As the thirteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both Disney and Marvel needed this to open big, since it's the launch for Phase 4, the most ambitious installment of the MCU to date. Furthermore, since Captain America: Civil War cost $250 million to make, it'll need to reach the $1 billion milestone in order for Disney and Marvel to really enjoy profitability. So there was a lot of pressure on this film to perform well, particularly since it didn't have the Avengers name attached (in fact, some would argue it was an Avengers movie in everything but name). In every respect, this opening is a major win for Disney and Marvel, as Captain America: Civil War is virtually guaranteed to be 2016's first $1 billion earner. Industry insiders anticipated a debut of roughly $175 million, so the movie exceeding those expectations bodes well for its longevity at the box office.
With that said, it was pretty good news overall at the box office this weekend, as superheroes weren't the only ones racking up the big numbers: Gerry Marshall's all-star ensemble comedy, Mother's Day, got a substantial boost from the holiday itself. It saw a 7.6% increase in attendance in week two, coming in at No. 3 for the weekend with $9 million, This is actually an improvement over its week one numbers, as Mother's Day opened last week to a disappointing $8.4 million. With luck and good word-of-mouth, the movie will have legs in the weeks to come. However, it's an abject lesson in the risks you take when you craft a film centered around a specific holiday. Then again, that's never really hurt Christmas movies before. Hell, it didn't even hurt Marshall's Valentine's Day. Maybe Mother's Day is just a harder sell to base a movie around? Or maybe word-of-mouth wasn't strong enough? Either way, I think this movie has the potential to find new life on the home video market.
Rounding out the Top 5 were two movies who are struggling to turn a profit right now. Although it came in at No. 4 in its third weekend of release, Universal is projected to take a $70 million loss on The Huntsman: Winter's War, which has been among the more disappointing wide releases of the year in North America. The film earned a paltry $3.6 million to bring its domestic total to $40.4 million. Granted, the overseas gross is a much stronger $105.9 million, but this won't really be enough to turn a profit for a movie produced on a budget of $115 million. Lastly, coming in at No. 5 is Keanu, which saw a 67% decline in week two, earning just $3.1 million for a domestic gross of $15.1 million, matching its modest budget.
But how did the rest of the Top 10 do at the weekend box office? Check out the full Top 10 below:

--Bella's low self-esteem is off-putting. I've read the series twice now, and her low self-confidence bothered me even more the second time. HOWEVER, that is Bella's tragic flaw (aside from loving a vampire, of course ;o) and Meyer resolves it in grand, page-turning fashion over the course of the series and especially in the fourth book.
--recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy, young adult literature, "vampire" lit, chick lit, "coming-of-age" lit, etc.
--fresh, original treatment of "cliché body-snatching"
--I'll be reading this one again and again.
[Addendum: I realized today that the actual count is 56.5, because I forgot that I re-read the first five books of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. But I'll wait to comment on that humdinger when I've acquired and re-read the final two books of the series.
--I don't know how many times I've read this series since I was a young teen.
--thoroughly compelling main character --> I laughed, mourned, agonized, wept, and triumphed with her.
--got to the end, read "end of book one" after the final paragraph, and literally said out loud, "OH YEAH."
--heart-breaking, heart-convicting main character --> I have never before found myself comparing my faith and my walk with God to that of a fictional character....and learning from her example.
--It took me about 50 pages really to get into the story, but once I was in, I was IN.
--got to the end and cried over it, then jubled when I realized that this one, too, has a sequel!!!
--typical Atwood: lots of hinting at things to come, building suspense until you can hardly stand it --> page-turner!
--fresh, original treatment of the fantasy genre, including fantasy creatures that might be considered "cliché"
--first-time read for me, and I now see that Johnny Depp's "Chocolate Factory" is much closer to Dahl's novel than Gene Wilder's "Willy Wonka"
--problems: As a writer, I often had trouble chewing my way through what I perceived as poor writing (grammar and spelling errors, shifting point-of-view in mid-paragraph...). My fingers often itched for a red pen.
--I sometimes got confused with what was going on, because I just couldn't picture in my head what the authors were describing.
--caveat: Readers will need to weed out some denomination-specific terminology.
--I can't say enough good things about this book.
--in my mind, this ranks on the level of C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity"
* comforter set, new pillows, sheets--our bed looks so pretty now!

Anybody like to share presents or thankfulnesses?
So, this past week, I FINISHED THE SECOND DRAFT OF MY NOVEL.
Let's have a moment of ponderous silence during which to ponder my ponderous accomplishment.
YAY AND HUZZAH, I FINISHED THE SECOND DRAFT OF MY NOVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pop the corks and furl the bumbershoots! Switch your flip! Bring out your dead!
In case you can't tell, I'm rather excited.
* organize all digital pictures from the last 15 months. uffda.
* finish the first draft of my 2008 NaNoWriMo novel (I did my requisite 50k, but the story itself is incomplete [and yes, I do realize that this would defeat the purpose of taking a break from noveling--but it *is* a different story, after all!].).
* clean and re-organize my desk so that it actually fosters creativity instead of quashing it. uffda.
*** spend regular time with God--because I have been putting him off. I admit it.
I'll strikethrough each project as I finish it--except for the last two, because they need to be ongoing. :o) I'm sure there are other things I need to get done, or would like to (for instance, investigate the nature of the clattering-about my neighbor does in his kitchen at 11 o'clock every night), but these are the only ones I could think of right now. So, here's my list, and I'll be checking it way more than twice, and there you have it, and now I'm going to bed!
"Younger people, one could point out, are the only ones for whom it seems to have sunk in that the idea of a truly private life is already an illusion. Every street in New York has a surveillance camera. Each time you swipe your debit card at Duane Reade or use your MetroCard, that transaction is tracked. Your employer owns your e-mails. The NSA owns your phone calls. Your life is being lived in public whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.
"So it may be time to consider the possibility that young people who behave as if privacy doesn't exist are actually the sane people, not the insane ones. For someone like me, who grew up sealing my diary with a literal lock, this may be tough to accept. But under current circumstances, a defiant belief in holding things close to your chest might not be high-minded. It might be an artifact—quaint and naïve, like a determined faith that virginity keeps ladies pure. Or at least that might be true for someone who has grown up 'putting themselves out there' and found that the benefits of being transparent make the risks worth it.
"That's a cool metaphor, I respond. 'I actually don't think it's a metaphor,' he says. 'I think there may actually be real neurological changes involved'..."
--from "Say Everything" by Emily Nussbaum"
Things that make ya go "hmmmmm...." That, or oo-ee-oo-ah-ah.
Ich sitze hier und geniesse den schönen Anblick unserer Weihnachtsdeko. Ed und ich haben gestern schon gescmückt, aber soeben hat er den letzten Schwibbogen aufgestellt. "We have hübsche Lichter!" sagte ich. ;o) In einem gestrigen "status update" hab ich erzählt, dass wir unsere Weihnachtsdeko das letzte Mal vor zwei Jahren sehen durften--denn letztes Jahr blieb alles eingepackt vom Umzug. Ich denke daran, dass wir diese schönen Sachen--und das meiste stammt aus'm Erzgebirge!--das letzte Mal zusammen mit euch geniessen durften.
Ich wollte euch also nur mitteilen, dass ich an euch denke. Ich weiss, ich hab im letzten Jahr schrecklich wenig von mir hören lassen. Aber trotzdem denke ich täglich an euch, vermisse euch, und habe euch alle sehr, sehr lieb!

I've been NaNoing. Long story short, November is National Novel Writing Month, during which writers commit to writing a 50,000 word novel from Nov. 1st-30th. All of my writing energy has been going into my NaNo, which is why my blog has suffered. However, I decided to stick something fun in here tonight before I call it a day.
Things finally came to a head today. I'd been feeling the malaise (or ennui, if you will) coming on, and I'd been doing various creative, spiritual, and mental/emotional health exercises to stave it (that is, the malaise/ennui) off. But I knew that at some point, something was gonna give. I asked the house church to pray for me yesterday, so I knew that God would get something done, one way or the other.
God seems to answer my prayers in the grocery store a lot. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Sort of.
So this afternoon, I got ready to go to the grocery store. Crest, to be specific. I finally remembered to bring along my cloth bags and Klappkiste (? a foldable plastic box, great for carrying stuff, staple in every German household). I debated taking the cloth bags into Crest with me and asking the bagger simply to bag my purchases in my personal bags. I decided against that, though, figuring it might throw the bagger for too much of a loop.
Because, as you know, friends and neighbors, baggers don't like to be thrown for loops. I didn't know that before this afternoon, but I sure as turkey-at-Thanksgiving know it now. My leaving the cloth bags in the car must have been prophetic. But again, I'm getting ahead of things.
Went to Crest. Shopped for groceries. Couldn't find chicken broth. Found lots of new food for Pippin. Gave up on chicken broth. Chicken broth and catfood not related.
When I arrived at the cash register, I told the bagger that I'd like for him to place all my groceries directly in a cart without bagging them. The bagger in question made an affirmative noise--"Mmhm" or "Okay" or somesuch. I turned my attention to the cashier and the growing total on his screen as he scanned my groceries.
A few moments later, I looked to my right and saw the bagger putting my squash and northern beans into a paper bag.
"Oh, I'd like for the groceries to go into the cart," I said again, thinking maybe he didn't hear me the first time. "I don't want any bags."
He bagged a can of catfood. "Well, I'm really not supposed to let you do that."
My brain tried to process for a second. Didn't succeed. See, this is the part where the cultural transition issues come into play: I couldn't grasp all the implications of what he was saying. It was literally impossible for me to shift gears in my mind. I grabbed onto the first thing that popped into my head, probably chipping off a few mental teeth in the process.
I would love to say that I replied to him with gentle, polite, but firm insistence.
Instead, all that came out was, "What happened to 'the customer is always right'?" And it was rather snippish, too. I was mortified at my own rudeness, but plowed ahead anyway. "I really don't want any bags."
"Well," said he, "we've been having problems with people stealing food."
I felt my mouth drop open. Rationality was making a hasty exit. I looked from him to the open exit door...seven or eight feet away. How would I steal food, going from this register out that door? Do you want to watch me?
Aloud, I said, "I'll be going from here--" pointing at my feet "--to there--" pointing at the doorway close at hand.
He glared at me. At least, it seemed like a glare. It could have been an expression of abject disappointment in the way his day was going. I don't know. He kind of mumbled something. I gestured in the general direction of the shopping cart. "Please just put the groceries in the cart. I really. Don't. Want. Any. Bags."
He began taking catfood, beans, and other items out of the bags and putting them into the cart. As I turned away with a world-weary sigh, he muttered, "All right, but it won't be my fault if you get stopped."
I forbore replying to that. This whole time, the cashier had continued merrily scanning items and sending them in the general direction of the recalcitrant (!) bagger. The total had risen, but I didn't care anymore. I just wanted to get out of there.
I finally got out of there. I told the bagger, "Thank you for your cooperation," and said it with a smile. I pushed my cart the seven or eight feet from the register to the open doorway. I neither stole food, nor did anyone accuse me of any crimes. I drove home and put away the groceries.
Ed walked in the door, and I cried because I hadn't cooked anything and had bought the wrong kind of light bulbs.
"All I wanted," I wailed, "was to do something good for the environment! I wanted to save some trees! I just wanted to shop the German way!"
A big part of why I'm okay now is that I have a husband who listens, who doesn't care that there's no food, who's perfectly happy to make his own supper, and who lets me cry when I need to. He's amazing. God is amazing, for blessing me with Ed.
So there's the most recent story of my cultural transition. We're approaching the one-year mark, and I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm aware of moments like this afternoon, I recognize them for what they are, and I process them. I don't fret about why this is happening to me or about whether or not this is ever going to go away. I know that eventually, because I have God, I'll be fine. No matter what happens. He has brought me through worse than this.
It's funny, though, how my major meltdown moments are connected with stores. This one at Crest, a previous one at Buy-for-Less. A few years ago on furlough, I had one at Wal-Mart, and in Chemnitz, I had one at IKEA (a sofa and a credit card were involved). That just goes to show what an integral part necessities-shopping is in culture.
Labels: culture, culture shock, current events, grocery saga, improvement, wha....?
Sony has recalled a new game for its Playstation3. "LittleBigPlanet" isn't even on store shelves yet, but it's being recalled because in some of the background music, the singer quotes two verses from the Qu'ran. This is offensive to Muslims, so the game is being recalled and the offensive content deleted before the game goes back to stores.
Fine. I have absolutely no problem with that.
But if the content had been something like, oh, I dunno...language offensive to Christians, or inappropriate use of God's name, or something of that sort...would anyone have even considered recalling the game?
Heaven forbid we offend any particular group of people. Except Christians. They're free game, didn't you know?
"...if not for the pale furlges splotching her cheeks."
"...if not for the pale furtyes splotching her cheeks."
"...the pale furlyues splotching her cheeks."
I am perplexed. Personally, I think I like "furlyues" best--it appeals to my sense of whimsy. I might have to start using that one in normal blogversation.
Care to venture a guess? You can haz cybercookeez!
Also, I'd like to note that "mellifluous" and "flabbergasted" are two of my favorite words.
It's because I didn't grow up watching or listening to them.
Growing up in Germany, I watched AFN: the American Forces Network. For various and sundry reasons--most, I'm sure, having to do with copyrights and trade agreements and the Geneva convention or somesuch--AFN doesn't air commercials for products on the US market. AFN airs commercials for the US Armed forces: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force.

God built certain skills, talents, abilities, and passions into each of us. I believe that most humans do things with their lives that don't accord with their skills, talents, abilities, and passions. And I believe that's why so many people are so miserable (aside, of course, from the fact that many don't have God in their lives in the first place): They have chosen a life that doesn't correspond with what God has designed into them individually.
What are your dreams? What are your passions? Whatever they are, God has built them into you, and he has provided you with right ways to follow them. (*Right* by his definition, not according to human standard.) He has created you in his image: He followed his passions by creating the universe and all the diverse life in it, he wants you to follow your passions, too.
Ten years ago right now, Ed and I were sitting in Chili's (for my German readers: it's a sort of Tex-Mex restaurant), eating supper. We had just left our wedding reception and gone to our hotel, only to realize that we'd had nothing to eat but cake and punch since lunch. (It would be years, however, before we realized that we were poets and didn't know it.) Figuring that the rest of the, er, evening would go better if we had something to eat, we took refuge at Chili's--Ed in his tux, I in my blue evening gown.
It's weird to think that we've been married ten years. I don't feel old enough to have been married ten years! I remember being a teen and thinking that people who'd been married this long seemed really old--not in a decrepit sense, but so much wiser and more sophisticated than I.
I guess I don't feel wise or sophisticated enough to have been married ten years.
It hasn't been ten years of so-called "wedded bliss." I don't believe such a thing exists. We've had our troubles, our infuriatings, our upsets, our hair-rip-outs. There've been times neither of us was happy.
God designed marriage not so much to make us happy as to make us holy.
Marriage has taught Ed and me patience, self-sacrifice, respect, mercy, compassion, honor, courage, exhilaration, commitment. Perhaps we could have learned these elsewhere--and perhaps not. Perhaps God knew that we needed each other and our shared experiences in order to learn these things.
Ten years is but a small step (my grandparents celebrated 68 this August!). I hope and pray that God will bless us with at least ten more years of life, so that we can take another step. Another ten after that, another step. I'm thankful that Ed will be at my side for as many steps as God wants us to take.
2. I was searching through my high school, Georg-Büchner-Schule (GBS), trying to find my Religion class because I was absent on the day they handed out schedules. While I was searching, I ran into my ex-boyfriend and his wife, neither of whom have, to my knowledge, ever set foot in Germany. And in the dream, he was happy to see me, which, considering the actual past, I very much doubt would be an accurate reflection of reality.
I go through phases of bizarre dreams. Many of these bizarre dreams involve GBS and being unable to find something or do something correctly. Since that was pretty much the theme of my real high school years, this theme in my dreams isn't really surprising. But the really bizarre ones--such as larvae in the hair, or tentacles growing out of the face, or vampires being driven back by circles on the ground and chants in pseudo-Latin--the really bizarre ones generally crop up only when I'm stressed, or there's a lot going on in my life that needs processing.
Therefore, it's rather peculiar that I should dream something so weird (not to mention gross) at this point in time, because I haven't been feeling stressed. Yeah, I've had a lot to process of late, but it hasn't been *bad*...and the larvae dream was gross enough to wake me up and make me go into the bathroom to check my scalp.
I don't know what the GBS/ex-boyfriend dream was all about. Maybe there's no real interpretation to these dreams, and they really are the result of a hyper imagination.
I just watched part of a documentary on Eleanor Roosevelt. I wish I'd seen the whole thing instead of just the last 20 minutes. I had no idea she was such an influential woman--so influential that she was known as "First Lady of the world." Not because of who her husband was, but because of who she was: an activist for human rights and equal rights all over the world. I didn't know that she was the driving force behind the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
Apparently, she was also so vocal about equal rights in the USA, she received all sorts of death threats from the Ku Klux Klan. But she single-handedly stood up to the Klan--with nothing but an elderly friend and an pistol for backup--no police, no FBI, nothing--and, amid protests, went to a tiny little town and taught a workshop on how to break the laws against equal rights in existence at the time. She said that not standing up to them would be "cowardly."
She was definitely one classy lady. I wish there were someone of such high, ethical standards and moral values in US politics today. She would've made a terrific president.
I read an article online today to which I prefer not providing a link. My reason for such recalcitrant (there's that word again!) secrecy is that I'm not sure I agree with many of the sentiments expressed in the article--or, rather, if I agree with the sentiments, I am quite sure I don't agree with the tone in which they are delivered. Either way, I don't think I want to have a link to the article on my blog, as I don't want anyone to associate me or my worldview with the attitude that comes through in the article.
However, I will let you know that the article was posted at lewrockwell.com, was written by one Lawrence Vance, and was dated June 12, 2008. Search for it if you so desire.

"I don't have scientific data to back me up, but I've anecdotally witnessed a direct relationship between someone's willingness to read and their level of education, success, expectations for themselves, and general, uh, interestingness they bring to the table. I guess that makes me one of those 'elitists' we keep hearing about, but with that in mind, you may understand why it's been pretty...important to me that I instill a love of reading in my kids."
If this were a Commonplace Book, and my profs were leaving me Post-It Note comments in it (which they did in my real Commonplace Book back in the Dark Ages of 1997), they would tell me that my posts are "heavy on Wil Wheaton" (in 1997, it was "heavy on Elton John). Guilty as charged (on all counts, past and hypothetical present).
That admitted, I really do enjoy Wil's thoughts. I won't say that I agree with him 100% on this particular quote: It doesn't apply to everyone; personally, I know plenty of highly interesting people who aren't big readers; but I do believe that the willingness to read affects education level and expectations for self.

1. The manufacturer of your car, law-abiding and foresightful individual that s/he is, wisely equipped your car with headlights. Yeah, if you could turn those on when it's dark outside....ummmmm.....that'd be grrreaaaat.
2. The aforementioned mountain-top-guru-esque manufacturer also built into your car a couple of nifty gadgets called turn signals.
a. Some of you are using turn signals as a method for asking permission to change lanes, instead of using them to announce your intention to change lanes. Asking permission is not only a misuse of the turn signal (a misuse which should, I might add, be a federal offense, like tearing the tag off of a pillow--yeah, they know who you are, you delinquent pillow-tag-tear-offers!), it is also dumb.
b. Some of you aren't using the turn signals at all. This is not only dumb, it is also stupid, because you are begging me to run into you because I don't know where you're going.

5. When I am abiding by the speed limit of 25mph and you, in your culturally-induced haste to get from Point A to Point Z so fast it threatens to tear the skin off your face, run up behind me and begin trying to push me to break the speed limit, the law of cause and effect comes into play.
a. The effect might be that I simply ignore you, because I am in a good mood and not susceptible to your wily speed demon ways; stay thee behind me! Pwned!
b. The effect might be that I actually slow down because I am annoyed (and you are not a droid, which is unfortunate, because it would make you more interesting). You are SO not swinging my verge, here.
--> The cause of these effects is you, so do not gnash your teeth at me, or the effect will be that I purchase and apply to my car a bumper sticker that reads "I might be slow, but I'm ahead of you."
6. I'm sure there's another point of severe snarkiness, but ruminating about you has kept me up long enough past my bedtime, so I think I'm going to go to sleep now.
*Random Breaking Syndrome (RBS): the illness which causes vehicle drivers to slam on their brakes without warning and for no discernible reason, seeing as how there are no cars in front of them, much less cars that are braking. The braking of a car in front of you, by the way, is indicated by the glow of two brake lights at the back of the aforementioned car. Or one brake light, if you are in Oklahoma. Or no brake light at all, in which case we move on to the condition of the breaking of the car in front of you, which occurs when you run into said car because it is rapidly decelerating and not bothering to inform you of the fact.
**In this case, "late" would be a condition occurring, for example, when you begin using the entrance ramp for a parking lot.


Whenever I book a session, whether the client hires me for family photography or children's photography, I inevitably get the question, "Do you sell the CD?" In short, the answer is yes. But do I recommend it? Well, no.
Believe me, I understand why you want the CD. They're YOUR family portraits. Why wouldn't you want the CD? After all, years from now, if you want to blow up some photographs that we took during a family photography session at Red Rocks, you want to be able to do that without tracking me down, right? But let me ask you…..when was the last time you took a CD/negatives/zipdrive to Walgreens and printed some photos from 5 years ago to hang in your living room? Probably never. I know I haven't. I have tons and tons of pictures saved on my computer and on neatly filed CDs. The last time I looked at our family portraits from 3 years ago? It was 3 years ago.
I have numerous, numerous clients who love their pictures and sing my praises, but when they buy the CD, it gets thrown in the drawer until it's time for the family pictures the following year. It's not because they don't like their family photography. It's not because they don't like their family photographer. It's because, in this day and age, they simply don't have the time to deal with it. Trying to figure out where to put them. Trying to figure out what sizes will look right. Trying to figure out what will look best–framed or canvas? In this busy world with two working parents and children's activities, we don't have time to deal with it.
This is where your photographer should come in. We can help you, the client, figure it out so you don't have to. Ask yourself, how many images from the session are you actually going to print or use for Christmas cards? I would say two or three for your Christmas card and about three or four for the house. Many clients want to have control over Christmas cards, so I usually recommend that clients purchase the digital copies of the images they want for the Christmas card and then picking three or four to print and hang in the home. My policy is to give the a digital copy to the client when they order anything over 16×20. I can help you decide which pictures will look best and I take care of getting the order done and over with so you can actually enjoy your photos.
Talk to your photographer. Let them help. Many people think that buying the CD is a money saver because printing at Walgreens is so much cheaper. But in the long run, it really isn't. The prints are sub-par and won't hold up. You don't necessarily need every picture from your family photography session…..you need a few well placed images in the home and some for your Christmas card. Break down the costs of the CD versus purchasing a few images for your Xmas card and a few large wall prints for the home and it's not much different. And you will actually get to enjoy them instead of popping them in a drawer.

If teachers want to strike and march in protest on wage claims, then do so in their own time, says a reader.
Teachers have quickly jumped on to the salary hike bandwagon (along with most other usual suspects), which they no doubt regard as their God-given right as a pay back from Labour/Greens for election support.
Teachers, particularly the activist clique, are often regarded by many as a carping PC lot when it suits their agendas. Remember their normal working hours are around 8am-4pm daily (week days only), they get all public holidays, and on top of that they have 12 weeks' annual holidays thrown in to boot.
Tellingly, however, one reality is that under their watch the New Zealand education system and academic achievement levels have been going backwards, and they must take some responsibility for this, in tandem with successive dozy governments.
Inveigling young school kids and parents to rally in support of their wage claims has a poor look about it for teachers. Some may see these conclusions as over-generalising, but from many reports they are not far wide of the mark.
If teachers want to strike and march in protest on wage claims, then do so in their own time.
A good start, as some suggest, would be to do so during the term holidays or Christmas holidays, between December 20 and January 31, plus hold all stop work meetings outside normal school hours. I sincerely hope teachers are not being paid by Kiwi taxpayers when they are off work protesting and crying woe is me.
They might also get more support if they addressed and took on board the pressing issues with the likes of the race-based Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for Teaching Profession (2017), with its complex ethical dilemmas, behavioural/disciplinary woes and Tiriti o Waitangi nonsense, agreed that class sizes of up to 30 pupils, which was the norm in the 1950s to 1980s, are acceptable, as most students that experienced those levels have succeeded and progressed through life okay.
Common sense would also go a long way towards providing good outcomes.
If teachers are serious about improving conditions, just have a good hard look at themselves, accept some home truths, face up to the real facts, and work with Kiwis to address them. With tunnel vision current mindsets teachers can cause more trouble for the rest of us than they are worth — PC agendas, preciousness and race-based inclinations are not pluses.
Presumably private school teachers are not involved in this salary/conditions bunfight.


In a move toward security trilateralism, Japan will send troops to join the U.S. and Australia at Talisman Saber 2015.
On the heels of high-level bilateral talks between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Japan announced that it will join the Talisman Saber 2015 military exercise. The biennial exercises are a major feature of the United States' military cooperation with Australia, and Japan's participation will be a first. As Reuters reported, the announcement comes amid rising tensions over China's island-building activities in the South China Sea.
In addition to Japan's Self-Defense Forces, the New Zealand Defense Force will also participate in this year's iteration of the exercise, contributing around 500 troops. Despite the addition of JSDF and NZDF this year, the Chief of Joint Operations of the Australia Defense Force (ADF) Vice Admiral David Johnston emphasized in a press statement that the exercise's core focus on bolstering bilateral U.S.-Australia interoperability wouldn't be diminished. "The primary aim of the exercise remains improving Australia-U.S. readiness and the way we operate together through combined training," Johnston remarked. "While Exercise Talisman Saber remains Australia's premier bilateral exercise with the United States, it provides an excellent opportunity for the ADF to practice operating with the New Zealand Defence Force and JSDF in a realistic training environment," he added.
Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani told Reuters that Japan's involvement in the exercise was not directed at China, noting that his country's goal was to improve interoperability with the U.S. and Australian militaries.
As Helen Clark noted in The Diplomat recently, Australia and Japan are looking to actively increase the frequency and depth of their joint military exercises. A major aspect of this growing cooperation on security issues will likely involve the United States, which is a common ally to both countries and a major power interested in preserving the status quo — certainly on maritime security — in the Asia-Pacific. Australia and Japan began cooperation in earnest on security issues eight years ago, and much has changed in the region in the meantime.
While back in 2007, the prospect of an assertive China was less substantiated, today both Australia and Japan see evidence of Chinese revisionism and low-intensity coercive behavior in the East and South China Seas. Additionally, Japan's shifting posture on national defense under the Abe administration has also reduced barriers to broader cooperation between the two partners.
For the United States, it looks like trilateral strategic coordination with Japan and Australia will increasingly be central to the diplomatic leg of its ongoing "rebalance" to Asia. Recently, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense David Shear noted that the United States was pursuing "unprecedented trilateral cooperation" to "expand the reach of these alliances." Talisman Saber 2015 is a small step toward realizing that objective.

Description & Specifications :
A centre punch is used to mark the center of a point. It is usually used to mark the centre of a hole when drilling holes. A drill has the tendency to "wander" if it does not start in a recess. A centre punch forms a large enough dimple to "guide" the tip of the drill. The tip of a centre punch has an angle between 60 and 90 degrees. When drilling larger holes, and the web of the drill is wider than the indentation produced by a centre punch, the drilling of a pilot hole is usually needed.
An automatic centre punch operates without the need for a hammer.
A drift "punch" is misleadingly named; it is not used as a punch in the traditional sense of the term. A drift punch, or drift pin, or lineup punch, is used as an aid in aligning bolt or rivet holes prior to inserting a fastener. A drift punch is constructed as a tapered rod, with the hammer acting on the large end of the taper. The tapered end of a drift punch is placed into the semi-aligned bolt holes of two separate components, and then driven into the hole. As it is driven in, the taper forces the two components into alignment, allowing for easy insertion of the fastener. Unlike most punches, force is never (and should never be) applied to the tip, or end of a drift pin.

"Physiological and Cognitive Factors Related to Human Performance Durin" by Kristin Divis, Clifford Anderson-Bergman et al.
Exposure to extreme environments is both mentally and physically taxing, leading to suboptimal performance and even life-threatening emergencies. Physiological and cognitive monitoring could provide the earliest indicator of performance decline and inform appropriate therapeutic intervention, yet little research has explored the relationship between these markers in strenuous settings. The Rim-to-Rim Wearables at the Canyon for Health (R2RWATCH) study is a research project at Sandia National Laboratories funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to identify which physiological and cognitive phenomena collected by non-invasive wearable devices are the most related to performance in extreme environments. In a pilot study, data were collected from civilians and military warfighters hiking the Rim-to-Rim trail at the Grand Canyon. Each participant wore a set of devices collecting physiological, cognitive, and environmental data such as heart rate, memory, ambient temperature, etc. Promising preliminary results found correlates between physiological markers recorded by the wearable devices and decline in cognitive abilities, although further work is required to refine those measurements. Planned follow-up studies will validate these findings and further explore outstanding questions.
