Is there a rift between the democratic party and the Obama administration?
I have written about Goldman Sachs and how the investment firm contributed to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Matt Taibbi alluded to GS as The Great American Bubble Machine contributing substantially to all major investment bubbles since the 1930s. GS has always been a talent hotbed where privileged alumni leave the firm through what Stieglitz calls a revolving door to end up in critical positions of government. The list of those exiting Goldman and entering the government is long, but it is clear that they are all associated with the Democratic party.
Next to this one there could be another list, one of detrimental political decisions that contributed to the current crisis. On top of it is the repeal of the Glass-Steagall-Act under former GS employee and Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, which allowed bank holding companies to own other financial institutions and eventually become too big to fail and a systemic risk. This of course was never intended but as we painfully recognize one of those far-reaching wrong judgments made by a democratic administration. In light of this anything but impeccable track record we have to ask if democrats are truly forthcoming in their desire for real change or are they about to make another big mistake?
In November of 2008 a new spirit of political leadership in the US was finally entering into the halls of congress and the White House. President Obama has promised to bring change to Washington and the democratic party vowed to stand beside him and his ambitious agenda. In the meantime democrats together with two independents have a sound filibuster majority of 60 in the senate. They are now calling the shots in the government and the legislature. It is therefore even more disturbing to see how the House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected a signing statement from their president.
In June a $106 billion war supplemental bill passed legislation in the House and Senate which included conditions on World Bank and IMF funding. The bill would extend a credit line of $108 billion for international financial institutions (IFI) to aid struggling developing economies crippled by the current financial and economic crisis. Major recipients of IFI funds could be nations in Eastern Europe under immense pressure to devalue their currencies in an attempt to avoid a default scenario. This would have a ripple effect and threaten the stability of the global financial system similar to events during the Asian crisis in the late 90s.
Despite severe and eventually devastating consequences to an already ailing global financial system of such a devaluation scenario, resistance is mounting among lawmakers who view IFI funding as an unnecessary 'global bailout' . To reach a compromise and find the votes to pass the bill House and Senate leaders included restrictions resulting in an amendment requiring the Treasury department to report on World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) activities. Late Thursday the amendment passed with strong bipartisan support and an overwhelming majority of 492-2 votes against the Obama administration.
The president in a statement during signing of the original bill rejected this restrictions and vowed to ignore the amendment's conditions. They would "interfere with my constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations (with international organizations and foreign governments)… by requiring consultation with the Congress prior to such negotiations or discussions," Obama said in the signing statement. With the passage of the amendment lawmakers including Barney Frank, a democrat and head of the powerful House Financial Services Committee (HFSC), are now threatening to withhold funds in a stand-off with the Obama administration.
492 to 2 speaks a clear language and it remains to be seen if the administration can afford to ignore congress under these conditions. Though it certainly would mean a severe blow to the authority of the president if he will be forced to revoke his signing statement. His foray into environmental politics (see also here), for the first time opening up the United States to international commitments to substantially reducing carbon emissions, could be called into question. So could his commitments he made during his Moscow speech (see also here), to the establishment of an international body together with and under the leadership of the U.S.
Much needed reform in Washington away from neoliberalism towards true and sustainable world leadership hangs on a thread. While first signs emerge of a search for an effective international body that more truthfully represents interests of all nations in a global economy, the coverage of the G-8 summit in Italy by mainstream media in the U.S. suggests otherwise.
The media are either ignoring or mocking efforts of the G-8 to increase the scope of their discussion round tables by opening it up to other powerful nations like China, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa and others. The NYT writes: "Eventually, the so-called Group of 8 started what might be considered auxiliary clubs. And that was how they ended up with a meeting on Thursday that was actually dubbed the G-8 + 5 + 1 + 5. Seriously."
The Times also calls into question the relevance of the G-8 if they seemingly cannot take landmark action without enlisting others, and misses the point completely: It is not about relevance of the G-8 but rather about sustainable credibility within the G-15, G-20 or even G-194. It is not about America but rather about sustainable relations between all nations in a political and economic environment more and more intertwined by globalization. If we have learned nothing else from the current financial and economic crisis this should be it.
Leaving other nations out makes the G-8 nothing but an elite club of snobbish leaders who in a reactionary move desperately seek to conserve neoliberal, neoconservative mindset. Barak Obama, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and other powerful leaders understand that and therefore support this search for a new international world order. Reactionary dinosaur politicians will eventually face the same destiny. In the meantime there are still too many of them and they are still very powerful. President Obama's stand-off with the congress on the issue of the signing statement serves as a litmus test about the determination towards change in a modernized America.

This crisis is far from over
This weekend finance minister of the G-8 nations gather in the south of Italy hopefully not only to take a sunbath. While leading economists are still warning of high uncertainty regarding growth and systemic risk for financial contagion still lingers the G-8 finance ministers are already discussing a possible exit from fiscal and monetary stimulus programs.
This seems premature. The subprime fiasco seems largely over but other problems prop up in particular in Eastern Europe. This region of the former communistic Soviet Union is a going concern. While some of the worst fears are probably exaggerated systemic risk and possible contagion for some Central European banks still lingers. Banks in Austria, Germany and Sweden have 1.6 trillion US dollar loan exposure in the region.
Of particular interest is the Baltic mini-state of Latvia. GDP of Latvia was 36 billion US dollar in 2008 but problems might spread to neighboring countries yet and get out of control. Just recently foreign exchange markets got upset by failure of Latvia's bond auction.
Sweden is Latvia's biggest creditor and its banks have heavy exposure to the Baltic state. Recently Sweden's Riksbank borrowed 3 billion euros from the ECB. That shows how serious the situation is. The bank is drawing down on a 10 billion euro swap agreement.
Latvia is now in negotiations with the IMF to secure another round of funding, but first it has to implement spending cuts and restrictive fiscal measures, which could further dampen the outlook for growth and lead to even higher unemployment.
But Latvia is not the only problem. About a third of fund managers polled expect more Eastern European countries to default and about 11 percent expect a full-blown systemic meltdown. This has prompted the ECB to issue a warning for 2010 rather than 2009 if the recession lingers.
According to the European Commission 27 EU states have so far pumped 3.7 trillion Euro into rescuing the banks, that's almost a third of European GDP. Out of that pool 311 billion have been in the form of direct capital injections, that is more than US banks received.
In the meantime the German government has agreed to implement a 'bad-bank-model' where large regional banks, like the German Landesbanken, will be able to transfer their bad investments worth about 600 billion euros until 2010. A similar drastic measure might be necessary for Austrian banks too. It seems to be a weird coincidence that this dumping institution for bad assets has been named after a beautiful Italian opera, AIDA.
Complicating the situation is a moldering conflict within the IMF, where funding in the US seems to be called into question. A proposal to send $108 billion is attached in a supplemental appropriations bill to fund the wars in Irak and Afghanistan. While funding for the wars is most likely to be approved the IMF has come under criticism, mainly because of lack of economic stimulus measures among European states.
Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives oppose the fund because they fear that the money will mainly be used to bail out Central European banks. If the administration will fail to garner sufficient votes they can pull the funding bill out and support a war-only funding bill. That's a smoking gun for Eastern Europe and Central Europe alike.
will it cause a snowball effect?

Cluster headache symptoms: What is a cluster headache, how often do they happen?
Dr Rangan visits a mum with cluster headaches
There are more than one hundred types of headaches with their own subtypes. It can be very difficult to figure out which headache you have in order to treat it. Cluster headaches are known for being one of the most severe headaches you could have, causing excruciating pain that leads to suicidal thoughts. Express.co.uk chatted to Dr Sarah Brewer, Medical Director of well-being brand Healthspan, to find out the ins and outs of cluster headaches.
Primary headaches are responsible for 90 percent of all headaches, and this includes tension-type headaches (40 percent) and migraine headaches (10 percent).
Tension headaches are mild to moderate in intensity and felt on both sides of the head, whereas migraines are normally worse on one side and centred around one eye.
Cluster headaches are the least common type of primary headache but also the most severe, affecting fewer than one in 1,000 people.
READ MORE- Headache causes – Why do I wake up with a headache every morning?
What is a cluster headache?
Sufferers of cluster headaches say the pain feels like someone has a pair of pliers and is tugging at your eyeball.
Dr Brewer said: "Cluster headache is one of the most severe types of pain you can experience and has been referred to as suicide headache.
"One eye becomes congested and watery and the nostril on the same side is usually blocked, and you may experience facial sweating or flushing, and swelling of the eyelid."
The pain is one-sided but it can switch sides, and you may also experience constriction of the pupil, a drooping eyelid, runny or blocked nostrils, and other symptoms.
It is possible for these other symptoms not to occur, but it's very unusual.
How often do they happen?
The main difference between a cluster headache and other types of headache is its timing.
Cluster headaches are usually episodic and come on and off like clock-work.
Dr Brewer said: "The pain lasts for up to three hours and comes on regularly – usually at the same time of day and often in the early morning, waking you from sleep.
"This can happen for one to three weeks before disappearing."
For most people, cluster headaches come on twice a year and the episode will happen around four times a day at the same time during this period.

Migraine: How to prevent migraine [EXPLAINER]
These episodes can last for up to two months, and some people get them more often throughout the year.
Knowing that you're going to experience such a painful headache can cause extremely poor mental health.
Dr Brewer explained: "Although sufferers are perfectly well in between attacks, the pain is so severe that many live in fear of the next one occurring."
However, it is important to note that some cluster sufferers may experience migraines and other types of headache when their cluster episode is over – they may never have a day free of headaches.
What causes cluster headaches?
Experts don't know what causes cluster headaches but it involves the over-activation of a part of the brain, according to Dr Brewer.
According to Ouch UK, it is now thought that "an abnormality within the hypothalamus is the root cause of the pain, which, when in cycle, releases hormones and chemicals that innervate the trigeminal ganglion, in turn causing the domino effect of pain and cranial autonomic symptoms through the trigeminal nerve down one side of the face and head (and sometimes the neck)."
Cluster headaches are also five to six times more likely to affect men than women, and as few as 0.2 percent of the entire population suffers from them.
There is some evidence that genetic factors may play a role in cluster headaches, with one in 20 sufferers also having a family member who has the same condition.
Cluster headache is more common in heavy smokers, and more likely to occur in adults than children.
They can start at any age, but most commonly cluster headaches start in your 20s or older.
How do you treat cluster headaches?
There is no cure for cluster headaches but drugs and other treatments can reduce the incidence and severity of attacks and prevent them all together.
Ouch UK advises against drinking alcohol during cluster bouts, but food and drink don't seem to affect cluster headaches whatsoever.
The site adds: "Although yet to be clinically proven, it is also suggested that sufferers should avoid being exposed to volatile substances such as solvents and oil based paints.
"Sufferers should also avoid afternoon naps, as sleeping can be a trigger amongst some sufferers."
There are currently three main types of prescriptive medication available to treat cluster headaches.
The first is abortive medication, which are drugs that help to stop individual attacks.
They are administered through the lungs or nose or by injection beneath the skin, through the muscle, or into a vein.
Examples of this medication are injecting Sumatriptan, inhaling Sumatriptan through a nasal spray, or taking Zolmitriptan through a tablet.
Breathing in pure oxygen has also provided pain relief among most sufferers, and some have found that Lignocaine nasal spray or nose drops help.
Preventative medication can reduce the number of attacks, and there are both short term and long term preventatives.
Short term prevention is better for those who have short bouts and this includes steroids, Ergotamine, and DHE.
Long term prevention includes verapamil, lithium, and other drugs such as sodium valproate, pizotifen and others.
Some sufferers will need surgery as a last resort.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) is not in talks to include Sony Corp's (6758.T) Blu-ray high-definition DVD technology in its Xbox 360 video game console, an executive said on Wednesday.
The comments by Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360, poured cold water on recent speculation that Microsoft could support Blu-ray after Toshiba Corp (6502.T), backer of the rival HD DVD format, gave up when key movie studios and retailers abandoned the technology.
The software giant also expected that supply problems for the Xbox 360 meant the machine was outsold in the U.S. market by Sony's PlayStation 3 console in February for the second month in a row.
That would be in time for the April 29 launch of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc's (TTWO.O) "Grand Theft Auto 4" game, which is widely expected to be one of the best-selling titles of 2008 and could drive purchases of the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Greenberg spoke a day ahead of the planned release of U.S. video game sales data for February by market research firm NPD, whose monthly reports are pored over by game companies eager for bragging rights.
The PS3 struggled last year due to its high price and lack of must-have games, but sales have picked up in recent months thanks to price cuts in late 2008 and a slate of anticipated upcoming games.
"We still think we have a great value, that we have significantly better value than Sony. Every month we've actually been in stock we've outsold them by a 2 to 1 margin," Greenberg said.

Nutri E-400 contains 400 I.U. of 100% natural, unesterified vitamin E (dalpha-tocopherol), as well as a guaranteed minimum of the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols, which is unique among most mixed tocopherol products available. No synthetic vitamin E is used. FUNCTIONS Vitamin E is the collective term including four fat-soluble, natural compounds with similar chemical structure; alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol. Of these, alpha-tocopherol has the highest nutritional activity. Eight structural isomers of alpha-tocopherol are possible, but only the d-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-alphatocopherol) occurs in nature. The other seven isomers have less nutritional activity, and are present only in synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) Douglas Laboratories' Nutri E-400™ Forte softgels contain only natural isomers of vitamin E, including d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta tocopherols. While the d-alpha isomer is the most well-known form of vitamin E, recent scientific evidence indicates that gamma-tochoperol may possess unique, distinguishable features. This tocopherol is the major form of vitamin E in seeds and in the US diet, though has not been studied as broadly as has alpha-tocopherol. Numerous studies have shown gamma-tocopherol to have excellent antioxidant abilities that complements the antioxidant ability of alpha-tocopherol. Additionally, some studies have shown that high dose supplementation of alphatocopherols can deplete both plasma and tissue levels of gamma-tocopherol in the body. † Vitamin E is one of the body's most important antioxidant nutrients. Antioxidants protect healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage.

Location Himachal Pradesh Dharamsala
McLeod Ganj (also spelt McLeodGanj or McLeodganj) is a suburb of Dharamshala in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is known as "Little Lhasa" or "Dhasa" (a short form of Dharamshala used mainly by Tibetans) because of its large population of Tibetans. The Tibetan government-in-exile is headquartered in McLeod Ganj. McLeod Ganj was named after Sir Donald Friell McLeod, a Lieutenant Governor of Punjab; the suffix ganj is a common Hindi word for "neighbourhood". In March 1850, the area was annexed by the British after the Second Anglo-Sikh War, and soon a subsidiary cantonment for the troops stationed at Kangra was established on the slopes of Dhauladhar, on empty land, with a Hindu resthouse or dharamshala; hence the name for the new cantonment, Dharamshala. During the British rule in India, the town was a hill station where the British spent hot summers, and around the late 1840s, when the district headquarters in Kangra became overcrowded, the British moved two regiments to Dharamshala. A cantonment was established in 1849, and in 1852 Dharamshala became the administrative capital of Kangra district. By 1855, it had two important places of civilian settlement, McLeod Ganj and Forsyth Ganj, named after a Divisional Commissioner. In 1860, the 66th Gurkha Light Infantry, later renamed the historic 1st Gurkha Rifles, was moved to Dharamshala. Soon, 14 Gurkha paltan villages were established nearby and the Gurkhas patronised the ancient Shiva temple of Bhagsunath. Lord Elgin, the British Viceroy of India (1862–63), liked the area so much that at one point he suggested it be made the summer capital of India. He died at Dharamshala while on a tour there, on 20 November 1863, and lies buried at the St. John in the Wilderness at Forsyth Ganj, just below McLeod Ganj.[4] His summer residence, Mortimer House, became part of the private estate of Lala Basheshar Nath of Lahore and was acquired by the Government of India to house the official residence of the Dalai Lama. The twin towns of Forsyth Ganj and McLeod Ganj continued to grow steadily in the coming years, and by 1904 had become important centres of trade, commerce and official work of Kangra District. Much of the town was destroyed by the devastating 7.8 magnitude 1905 Kangra earthquake at 6:19 am 4 April 1905; close to 19,800 people were killed and thousands were injured in the Kangra area. The earthquake destroyed most buildings in Kangra, Dharamshala, and McLeod Ganj, including the Bhagsunath Temple.[5] Thereafter, district headquarters were shifted to a lower spot, and the town waited another half century before anything significant transpired in its history. In March 1959, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, fled to India after the failed uprising in 1959 in Tibet against the Communist Party of China. The Indian Government offered him refuge in Dharamshala, where he set up the Government of Tibet in exile in 1960, while McLeod Ganj became his official residence and also home to several Buddhist monasteries and thousands of Tibetan refugees. Over the years, McLeod Ganj evolved into an important tourist and pilgrimage destination, and has since grown substantially in population. McLeod Ganj has an average elevation of 2,082 metres (6,831 feet). It is situated on the Dhauladhar Range, whose highest peak, "Hanuman Ka Tibba ", at about 5,639 metres (18,500 feet), lies just behind it. The major towns near McLeod Ganj include Dharamshala, Palampur, Kangra, Sidhbari, Tatwani, and Machhrial. Other nearby spiritual attractions include Chinmaya Tapovan (a Hindu retreat centre), Osho Nisarga (an Osho retreat centre) and Chamunda (a pilgrimage place for Hindus). The route to Triund is a popular trek starting from McLeod Ganj.

Every indoor tanning lotion is different. Some are tanning accelerators. Some are bronzers. Some contain special ingredients to make the surface of your skin feel warm or cool. However, most indoor lotions do not contain sunscreen and don't offer protection from UV rays, because they are designed to harness those rays and enhance your tan.
Tingle and Hot Action Lotions: These products can be fun to try in your search for the ultimate tan, but are not recommended for first-time tanners. Hot action lotions contain an active ingredient like benzyl or methyl nicotinate, which promotes micro-circulation. More plainly, it increases blood flow and brings oxygen to the cells in your skin. This process of oxygenation will improve your tanning results. When you use these products you will experience a mild tingling, reddening and warming sensation on the skin's surface. You might want to test these tanning lotions on a small area at first, because they can cause reactions for people with delicate or highly sensitive skin.
Bronzer Lotions: Some people are confused by indoor tanning lotions and self-tanning products. What's the difference? Self-tanners contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a chemical that changes the cells of the skin. This chemical is also found in bronzing lotions. The nice thing about a bronzer is it gives you an instant tan, so you achieve that sun-kissed look immediately, and you continue to darken for hours after your session. With bronzers you typically wait a few hours after tanning before taking a shower, but it is recommended to wash your hands right away to avoid discoloration. The skin on your hands reacts differently to bronzers than the rest of your body and can sometimes get splotchy if they are not washed as soon as you're done.
Accelerator & Maximizer Lotions: Accelerators and maximizers are great for beginning indoor tanners. They are formulated to help you quickly achieve a base tan, but normally don't contain any added bronzers. They usually contain a large amount of moisturizers that allow the skin to tan more quickly and retain your color for a longer time. Once you build up a good base tan you can try a more intense bronzer or tingle lotion to give you that extra boost.What's In Your Tanning Lotion?
Hemp Seed Oil: Its nourishing and moisturizing properties make it a popular ingredient.
Body Blush: A type of product made for those who want a tingling effect but have sensitive skin.
Anti-Aging: These lotions contain added vitamins that help protect against premature signs of aging.
Shimmer: Glimmering additives in these projects have reflective properties that give your skin an added glow.
Caffeine: Caffeine is often added to reduce puffiness and energize your skin. Caffeine will absorb into the body, so if you are sensitive to caffeine or have eliminated it from your diet, steer clear of these lotions.
Silicon: Silicon is a mineral with moisturizing benefits. It's used to help condition your skin.
Beta Carotene: Also called vitamin A. It enhances pigment coloration in your skin.
Vitamin E: Makes skin softer and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

"A Star is Born" was only released this month, but the title may sound familiar to some. There have already been three remakes of the original 1937 film. Actor-turned-director, Bradley Cooper brought the latest rendition to life.
In the film, Cooper plays rockstar Jackson Maine, who struggles with alcoholism and drug abuse throughout his musical success. Lady Gaga plays Cooper's love interest, Ally. In the film, Gaga's character works as a waitress in New York and does not believe she is beautiful enough to be famous. While the two actors might seem like an unlikely pairing due to Gaga's scant acting experience in comparison to Cooper's robust portfolio, their on-screen chemistry is addicting to watch unfold.
Jackson and Ally meet in a New York drag bar one evening, where Ally is singing, and their mutual attraction is instant. Although Ally is hesitant to get involved with an obvious alcoholic, she goes to one of Jackson's shows the next night. From there, the two are inseparable. Jackson encourages Ally to sing in front of thousands of his fans as well as to continue to write songs.
At this point in the film, the relationship between Jackson and Ally seems perfect on the outside, yet it is clear that Jackson's addiction could soon tear them apart. Ally sticks with Jackson, encouraging him to seek professional help. Audiences have seen this relationship archetype before depicted through pairings like Johnny Cash and June Carter in "Walk the Line," where a woman tries to save a tortured musician from himself. What makes the plot of "A Star is Born" different from other plots is that Ally is able to find her own voice and fame. She stands by Jackson but must also do what is best for her, even if that eventually means selling out to the pop music industry.
Ally's transition from rising singer-songwriter to full-blown pop star is most noticeable with the change in her hair color. She observes that she doesn't even look like herself, a fact that a surly Jackson can't help but continue to point out as her rise to fame skyrockets and his own dwindles. The change in Ally's appearance and music aptly displays the music industry today, overflowing with popstars singing over-autotuned, vapid lyrics. While Ally does become an award-winning popstar, it is important to recognize that her character is still distinguishable from Lady Gaga's own persona. The structure and story of Ally's character is completely her own, and Lady Gaga's fame outside of the film was not distracting.
The fourth iteration of "A Star is Born" is truly its own piece of art. Cooper breathes fresh air into the story with his own unforgettable performance complemented by Lady Gaga's, making his directorial debut a success.

Q: Read only one line of Integers from a file I am trying to read a file which contains integers. The file has 40 lines, each having 80 integers. However when I run the following code, I get 40 lines and 3200 integers in each line (it reads the entire file for each line). How can I fix this.
    while(input.hasNextLine()){
        ++rows;
        Scanner colReader = new Scanner(input.nextLine());
        while(colReader.hasNextInt()){
            ++columns;
            colReader.nextInt();
        }
        colReader.close();
   }

A: You can also simplify your code somewhat.  You can keep on reading integers one by one.
Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("f:/numbs.txt"));
while (input.hasNextInt()) {
       int v = input.nextInt();
       System.out.println(v);
}

A: Because you are duplicated the loop, if you want to read a file, you can do the next
BufferedReader bufferReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("")));
        int line;
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        while ( (line =bufferReader.read()) != 0 ) {
           // Do something
        }

Le Fokker F27 est un avion à turbopropulseurs court courrier de , développé et construit par le fabricant néerlandais Fokker, conçu pour succéder au DC-3. Le premier vol eut lieu le , et le premier exemplaire fut livré à Aer Lingus en .

Développement et construction
Le développement du Fokker F-27 commença dans les années 1950 pour remplacer le fameux Douglas DC-3. Les concepteurs étudièrent différentes configurations, avant de retenir le projet d'un bi-turbopropulseur (avec des moteurs de type Rolls-Royce Dart) à ailes hautes et cabine pressurisée, pouvant contenir .

Le premier prototype (immatriculé PH-NIV) effectua son premier vol le . Le second prototype fut rallongé de  par rapport à son prédécesseur, résolvant ainsi le problème de manœuvrabilité de l'appareil, celui-ci étant auparavant légèrement trop centré arrière. Par la même occasion, cette extension permit de rajouter quatre sièges, portant la capacité à . Par ailleurs, cette seconde version était motorisée par des moteurs Rolls-Royce légèrement plus puissants (Version Dart Mk.528).

Production
Le premier modèle produit en série (le Fokker F27-100), fut livré à Aer Lingus en 1958. Les premières compagnies à s'être portées acquéreurs de cet appareil furent entre autres Braathens, Luxair, Ansett, Trans Australia Airlines et Turkish Airlines.

En 1956, Fokker signa avec Fairchild un accord autorisant le constructeur américain à produire des Fokker 27 sous leur propre franchise aux États-Unis. Le premier de ces avions construit aux États-Unis effectua son premier vol le . Par la suite, Fairchild développa indépendamment une version rallongée du Friendship, appelée FH-227. La plupart des ventes des F-27 effectuées par Fairchild se sont faites au sein du marché américain.

La production du F27 s'arrêta en 1987.  avaient été vendus par Fokker, auxquels il convient d'ajouter  et FH-227 produits sous licence par Fairchild. Ces chiffres font de cet appareil le plus gros succès commercial en Europe occidentale pour un avion de ligne turboproplusé. De nombreux appareils furent convertis du transport de passagers au transport de marchandises. Bon nombre d'entre eux sont toujours en service actuellement.

Développé dès le début des années 1980, le Fokker 50 devint le successeur du F27 Friendship. Le Fokker 50 emprunta essentiellement la cellule du F-27 mais l'installation d'une avionique récente et de moteurs Pratt & Whitney Canada PW124 firent de lui un appareil véritablement moderne.

Emulating the past
August 18, 2019	Panorama 14 Views
There are three incontrovertible facts about the modern history of Kashmir. First, Pakistan has consistently promoted violence and terror in the Valley, and in other parts of India as well (using Kashmir as an excuse). Second, those who presume to lead the Kashmiris have shown no sign of remorse or atonement for the ethnic cleansing of the Pandits of the Valley. Third, successive Indian governments (with one exception I shall come to) have fixed elections, furthered corruption, used State power, and, in other ways, promoted undemocratic practices in the Valley.
All these three things are true, independently and simultaneously. Yet those who seek to determine the fate of Kashmiris and Kashmir focus selectively on some, never all, of these truths. Pakistan, for example, focuses on the third truth while suppressing the first and second. Indian hyper-nationalists do the reverse. Thus, those who have so quickly and uncritically applauded the recent abrogation of Article 370 have used the terror promoted by Pakistan, and the persecution of the Pandits as justifications. In fact, the way in which Article 370 was abrogated only confirms and consolidates the third truth about Kashmir. For, what happened last week was merely the most recent of many examples of arbitrary and authoritarian conduct by the Indian State in the Valley.
The first major political crime committed in the Valley occurred exactly 66 years ago. In August 1953, the elected chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Sheikh Abdullah, was deposed from his position, and sent to prison. For five years he languished in jail, without any charges being brought against him. In 1958, the Sheikh was briefly released, but then jailed again, for a further five years. This time, charges were brought against him, of his being a Pakistani agent. These were both laughable and contemptible, for while the Sheikh wavered between being pro-India and being pro-Azadi, he never remotely had any attachment to the State of Pakistan, because he believed that Hindus and Sikhs had exactly the same rights as Muslims.
It was India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who sanctioned the shameful and illegal arrest of Kashmir's elected CM. In April 1964, Nehru had a belated change of heart, and released the Sheikh. Tragically, after Nehru's death, the Sheikh was jailed again, and kept there for another seven years, as ordered first by Lal Bahadur Shastri, and then by Indira Gandhi. He was finally freed in 1972, a broken man, prepared to deal with New Delhi on any terms that New Delhi demanded.
In the years that their popularly elected leader was in jail, a deep sense of alienation permeated Jammu and Kashmir. The distrust of New Delhi's motives grew further in the 1960s and 1970s, as Congress governments at the Centre rigged elections and promoted corruption. A brief window of hope was provided by prime minister Morarji Desai of the Janata Party, who in 1978 oversaw the first fair election in the Valley. But then, in 1980, the Congress returned to power, and the mischief began afresh. In 1983, Indira Gandhi used underhand means to unseat an elected state government. Four years later, her son, Rajiv Gandhi, oversaw a blatantly rigged election. The leaders who fought and should have won some seats (had fairness prevailed) in that election went in disgust across the border, from where they began their jihad in 1989.
When Atal Bihari Vajpayee became prime minister in 1998, he had to deal with this long history of alienation and distrust in Kashmir. He sought to overcome it by supervising a free election in the state, by suggesting a bus link between the two divided parts of Kashmir, and by extending a hand of friendship to the people of the Valley. Vajpayee offered humanity, democracy and pluralism as the three pillars of his government's policy. His approach was in striking contrast to that of previous Congress governments, which had used corruption and factionalism to divide the people, and State power to suppress them.
In their own brute use of State power, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have followed the playbook of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi in Kashmir. The abrogation of Article 370, they tell us, is in the best interests of the people of Kashmir, yet those very people are given absolutely no say in how that decision is made. The government converts the Valley into the largest prison in Indian history, where eight million people are shut up, their landlines and mobiles silenced, their access to food and medicines restricted. Even former chief ministers are placed under arrest (in a chilling echo of August 1953). Thousands of troops are flown in to make an already militarised zone look ever more like an occupied territory. With our fellow Kashmiri citizens denied any sort of voice altogether, Parliament hastily passes a bill that changes their lives forever.
What happened in Kashmir last week bodes ill for Indian democracy. Laws outlive themselves, and might have to be modified or changed. However, the people who are to be affected by the change must be trusted, respected, and heard. I wish the President himself had thought a little before signing so blindly on the dotted line. He knew that millions of citizens whom this law would impact had been silenced beforehand. Could he not have returned the order, and asked for a wider consultation in Kashmir, and with Kashmiris, before it was introduced in Parliament?
Those Indians exulting at what just happened in Kashmir might reflect a little on the awful precedent it has set. This abuse of State power to shut up and immobilise citizens could happen next to your district, your province, your leaders, your children. I concur entirely with Pratap Bhanu Mehta when he writes, about the government now in office: "This is a state that will make a mockery of democracy and deliberation. This is a state whose psychological principle is fear. This is a state that will make ordinary citizens cannon fodder for its warped nationalist pretensions".
We have been warned.

Schoolgirl Tortured For Years By Bullies Accompanied To Prom With 300 Bikers
Posted by Sama in Feel Good On 15th September 2021
Felicity has spent years at school tormented by her bullies to the point that one time the teenager even contemplated suicide. The distressed parents wanted to see the beautiful smile on their daughter's face return and so they contacted the WAC Motorcycle Club to show up to give support to their daughter on her prom night. However, what they didn't expect was that hundreds of bikers will appear at their door to escort their daughter to her prom night and surely their presence made the Warburton family overwhelmed with happiness.
Felicity Warburton, 15, remembers only the tough memories of the school where her bullies made her life a living hell. However, the teenager had the last laugh when she was escorted to the school prom by almost 300 bikers.
Felicity was left in shock when the bikers showed up in their droves on Monday (6/9) night - revving their engines to applause from Felicity's classmates and teachers.

Apparently, Felicity's mom Kathryn Warburton had put on an appeal on Facebook a few weeks back, requesting for WAC Motorcycle Club to attend the prom at the Worcester Warriors Stadium to support the teen.
The emotional mom wrote:
"Felicity has been looking forward to her prom as she feels that this will be the point where she can show them (the bullies) that they can't hurt her anymore.
"They have bullied her so much she has even contemplated suicide in the past year, so I really want her prom to be everything she wants and needs it to be."
Dad Rich Morris, 45, from Droitwich, Worcs., said:
"It was amazing. We were hoping for maybe ten or so bikers to come but there were hundreds.
"They kept coming batch by batch until there were so many bikers you couldn't even see Felicity in the middle of them all.
"They were even given an escort by a group of ex-police officers and prison guards.
"We were blown away.
"Felicity loved every minute and it was just incredible to see the support from all the bikers."
Felicity's dad who runs a digital photography business, shares that:
"Felicity has had her challenges but the bullies seem to think it's ok to pick on her.
"She was abused every day and it crushed her but we felt that after Monday night we could see our lovely, bubbly Felicity really enjoying herself.
"Proud of her doesn't even touch it, she's an amazing girl and she hasn't deserved any of this, so to see her light up like a Christmas tree was absolutely fantastic.
"When she sat on that trike and I looked at her, it was like time stood still and I just thought 'we've got our daughter back'.
"When you've got someone crunching you down time and time again, you don't see any good in yourself.
"To see that smile break out on her face was very overwhelming.
"The confidence it brought out in Felicity was amazing. Over the last year she's had constant bullying, the school have done what they can but they can't do everything."
More power to Felicity and her parents!

West Brom 2-2 Forest: Some Thoughts
It doesn't matter how they go in as long as they do so.
Never has this been more appropriate when Ryan Yates bundled the ball into the West Brom net after six minutes. It was a very welcome goal for a number of reasons. It rounded off a superb counter attack arising from a high press which maybe secured confidence that the game plan would be effective. Also, this was also the first time the net bulged away from home since Matty Cash swept in at Norwich on Boxing Day.
Boxing Day. That all feels an awful long time ago now. Not only a different year but a different era.
Yates confirmed – as if it needed confirming – that he is some player. Despite his rangy gait, which makes him appear to clunk across the turf rather than majestically glide, he possess all those qualities that our neighbours over the river and those Irons from north Lincolnshire told us about. His desire to win, to get his foot in, to pass the ball and to drive forward conjures memories of a young Irishman eating up the turf in a Forest shirt that always looked a size too big or him in the late 80s. Odd how life works pans out as that now wizened Irishman looked on from the touchline.
As grumbles rumbled around The Hawthorns, Forest's shape was a thing of beauty – like a neatly drawn house with a solid base, neatly aligned walls standing at right angles to the base and a perfectly formed pointed roof which spearheaded through the murky sky.
Forest defended narrow with both Ben Osborn and Joe Lolley tucked in just ahead of their respective full-backs and refused to be pulled wide when not in possession.
But when possession was won the team, evolved quicker than Optimus Prime from a lorry to a sentient superhero. With the midfield three pressing like a pack of hungry dogs, Yates, Lolley and Osborn got on their respective bikes faster than a triathlete emerging from water to support Lewis Grabban whenever Jack Colback won possession, which he did with frightening frequency.
Naturally, the home side – chasing third place – eventually woke from the hangover that was meted out to them in the opening 20 minutes and worked themselves back into the game. Despite a central defensive partnership having barely had the time to shake hands with each other, the back five were resolute and turned in a disciplined and big-hearted performance both individually and as a unit.
Like most games at Championship level, it was one of if onlys. If only Grabban had dispatched the chance that fell to him in the second half. If only someone had just wellied the ball into space before West Brom equalised. If only Dwight Gayle hadn't stepped on an unfeasibly large spring buried into the turf with a minute or so to go, propelling him into the air like a demented swan. If only Joe Lolley had tumbled to the ground theatrically in order to draw attention to a frankly unreasonable request for the shirt off his back.
It is clear that Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane have not been simply standing around on the training pitch for the last few weeks admiring the snowdrops but have instead been busy instilling a rigid shape without the ball and an aggressively quick attack with the ball high up the pitch.
Ryan Yates has set himself a very high benchmark and if those are the standards demanded, it promises to be an interesting run of games ahead.
Issue 11 will be with subscribers early next week.
Hang on to your hats - it's a doozy.

Abstract: Whilst augmentative and alternative communication has been used for over sixty years across many countries, in Cyprus it remains underdeveloped. The current study seeks to investigate the current AAC practices in Cyprus. Data were collected through electronically distributed questionnaires to all registered speech and language therapists (n = 330), contacted by the Cyprus Speech Therapy Association. The questionnaire comprised 12 questions, which were categorized into three sections: background information (educational level and clinical experience), training undergone (during or after completion of tertiary education) and participants' AAC practices (caseload, assessment and intervention). The findings from the analysis of the returned data (n = 59) reveal that training provision on augmentative and alternative communication has positively influenced practice. Most of the participants received training in the specific field during their bachelor's degree, rather than during later education. Life-long training on different language systems (including different assistive technology tools, such as symbols and talking products as well as methods such as the Picture Exchange Communication System) also played a pivotal role in their work. Regarding the assessment process, the findings show that whilst there are a number of standardized language assessment tools, the participants relied heavily on non-standardized tools and/or their clinical judgment. Regarding intervention, they reported using different language systems and a variety of Assistive Technology equipment. Several recommendations are made aimed at raising the profile of AAC services in Cyprus, especially with regards to training and assessment, as the findings show that these areas have not been addressed systemically thus far.

Interesting Mississippi Facts
GENERAL EDWARD CARY WALTHALL
Edward Cary Walthall was born at Richmond, VA, April 4, 1831, and when ten years of age accompanied his father, Blarrett White Walthall to Holly springs, which became the new home of the family. Here he received his literary education, mainly in the noted classical school, St. Thomas Hall. He read law with his brother in law, George R. Freeman, of Pontotoc, for one year, and continued the study while deputy clerk of the court at Holly Springs, until admitted to the bar in 1852, when he removed to Coffeeville, and formed a law partnership with Judge Cheves. Four years later he was elected district attorney, an office he retained until the war. His first oration was delivered, within this period, at a reunion of the St. Thomas debating society at Holly Springs.
He was married in 1856 to Sophia Bridgies, who died in the same year, and in 1859 to Mary Lecky Jones, of Mecklenburg County, VA. Among the volunteer companies organized in 1860-61 was the Yalobusha Rifles, of which F. M. Aldridge was elected captain and Walthall first lieutenant. They rendezvoused at Union City, and were assigned to the 15th infantry, Col. W. S. Statham. June 13, about ten days after the organization of the regiment, Lt. Col. J. W. Hemphill resigned, and Lt. Walthall was elected to the vacancy. The first service of the regiment was at Cumberland Gap, when they advanced into Kentucky under Gen. Zollicoffer, in the winter of 1861-62. There was a disastrous encounter with George H. Thomas at Fishing Creek, and a terrible experience of rout and misery. But the steadfast heroism of Walthall and his regiment shone out all the more brilliantly with such a setting, and he became at once famous throughout the Confederacy.
At the organization of the 29th regiment, at Corinth, Walthall was elected colonel, April 11, 1862. In this capacity he served under Beauregard
at Corinth and in the retreat to Tupelo, and, in Chalmers' brigade, accompanied Bragg in the movement to Chattanooga, and the advance into
Kentucky, where Chalmers' brigade made the famous assault at Munfordville. In November Bragg recommended him for promotion, and he
was commissioned brigadier general, to date from June 30.
At the organization of the Army of Tennessee (q.v.) he was given command of a Mississippi brigade. Sickness kept him out of the battle of
Murfreesboro, and his next great field was Chickamauga. here, part of the army had the good fortune to strike Federal regiments on the line of
march, and without great difficulty achieved a victory. But it was Walthall's duty to attack a line partly protected by log breastworks, and here,
again, he met George H. Thomas. His brigade lost 32 percent in killed and wounded, but he seized and held the main road to Chattanooga.
In mid-November, with a brigade worn down to 1,500, he was ordered to hold Lookout Mountain, the point of greatest danger on Bragg's line
investing Chattanooga, the Confederates being menaced by another Federal army brought from Vicksburg and Virginia. Assailed by Hooker's
force of 10,000 men, Walthall fought the famous "battle above the clouds." Says a Northern writer, "Situated as he was, Walthall and his
Mississippians made one of the bravest defenses that occurred anywhere at any time during the war. It was sublimely heroic under fearfully
exasperating circumstances." The greatest part of his brigade was cut off and captured.
With the remnant he made gallant fight on Missionary Ridge, next day. When confusion and disorder reigned, Walthall, though painfully
wounded, kept the field, held the enemy in check, and when the army was safe across the Chickamauga was lifted from his saddle unable to
walk. At the opening of the Great Atlanta campaign he was given another important duty, the holding of Resaca, essential to the safety of
Johnston's army. Polk's army did not arrive in time to make this possible, but Walthall held his ground two days under the attacks of
McPherson. He was promoted to major-general, and given command of Cantey's division of Polk's Army of Mississippi.
He was an important factor in the repulse of Sherman at Kenesaw mountain, in the assaults at Peachtree Creek and Ezra Church, and the
defense of Atlanta. When Hood advanced into Tennessee, Walthall had two horses shot under him in the bloody assault at Franklin. After the first day's fight at Nashville, where Thomas attacked Hood, he was given command of French's division as well as his own, and on the
retreat he commanded the flower of the army, eight brigades forming the infantry rearguard, to cooperate with Forrest's cavalry. After great
suffering he finally reached the vicinity of Tupelo with a remnant of his command numbering less than one of its brigades eight months before.
At Bentonville, N.C., in April, 1865, commanding a division of Georgians and Tennesseans, he gave his last battle orders, cheering to a last
charge brave men who knew there was no hope of victory, only a chance to die. At this time his reputation as a soldier was secure. He and
Nathan Bedford Forest and John B. Gordon were the most famous volunteer leaders of the South. A distinguished Mississippian once said in
the presence of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston that he regarded Walthall as the greatest man he ever knew; to which Johnston replied, "If the
Confederate war had lasted two years longer General Walthall would have risen to the command of all the Confederate armies." (Mayes'
Lamar, P. 120.)
His advancement was rapid, but not as phenomenal as it might have been, had not his modesty and generous consideration of others intervened. On the death of Bishop Polk he might have gained command of the Army of Mississippi, but he recommended his senior in age and experience, A. P. Stewart. Returning to Coffeeville in 1865 he resumed his law practice, as a partner of Col. Lamar. In 1871 he removed to Grenada. He was a leader in the civil struggle for good government, and took a prominent place in the councils of the Democratic party, being chairman of the State delegation in the national conventions of 1868, 1876, 1880 and 1884.
Lamar wrote to him in 1868: "Do you know that but for you I could not keep up? I would have given up long ago, and never made an effort."
When Lamar resigned from the United States senate to become secretary of the interior, Walthall was appointed to the vacancy, and took up
Lamar's mantle as the great leader of manly reconciliation.
At his death, Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, said of him: "I utter a conviction, born of a consciousness of the influence which his candor and
breadth and frankness and the earnest hope, often expressed by Senator Walthall, for renewed friendship and fraternity between the sections of our country, had upon my own thought and feeling, when I say that to him and to his presence, more than to any other, is due, in my judgment, the obliteration here of sectional animosity, and the restoration of that amity and confidence so essential to the prosperity and the strength of the Republic."
His service in the senate began in December, 1885, and continued until his death, a period of more than twelve years. Senator Spooner noted
that he soon, in an unostentatious way and without effort, became a leader of peculiar power and influence on the Democratic side. It was the
tribute unconsciously and naturally paid to him by appreciative colleagues because of the nobility of his character and the wisdom of his
judgments. He was an able and erudite lawyer . . . . He possessed in a wonderful degree the elements which would have made him a great
judge. He was essentially reflective, with fine power not only of analysis but of generalization, and of rare judgments. He was usually
discriminating and with profound and nice ethical sense; a safe man to consult with the utmost confidence when any one had any doubts upon a question of honor or propriety of conduct. He seldom participated in a debate, although able to cope with any antagonist; but I remember that his first speech, to which the senate listened intently, won universal commendation, although upon a sectional subject, by the temperate spirit which pervaded it."
In closing Senator Spooner said he would not for the world pronounce a eulogy, yet he had said nothing of any fault. "I knew him long and well, but I did not know him long enough or well enough to discover any fault or weakness in his character." Senator Gray said, "If to be chivalrous is to be high-minded, magnanimous, courageous, unselfish, gentle and true, preferring death to dishonor, then Walthall was the embodiment of chivalry. He never lowered his standard, never compromised his convictions of duty; and all this rigidity of moral principle was covered with the mantle of his affectionate and kindly personality which drew men to him and made him his friends. He was a gentleman in the best acceptation of the word, and I have sometimes thought that the best way to define the word was to point to him as the embodiment of all that it meant."
In his last illness he came to the senate, despite the remonstrance of his friends, to pay a tribute to the memory of his great colleague, Senator George, whom he followed in death, two weeks later, on the evening of April 21, 1898. He was buried at Holly Springs, beneath a multitude of flowers that came from almost every town and village in Mississippi. His intimate friend, Senator Berry, said that as he stood there, "the thought came to me that no man could have been intimately associated with General Walthall without being a better man, that no man could have know him well without having a higher and better opinion of human nature, and that in the mysterious and unknown life beyond the grave the Great Ruler of us all would do most for him there who had done most for his fellow men here."
When Lamar was yet living, he said: "Of all the splendid men that Mississippi has ever presented to the nation, General Walthall is the one
beyond all competition in moral purity, strength of mind, heroism of soul, and commanding influence upon men."
