Another 25 citizens pronounced DEAD from the flu shot in Korea
Posted By: NaturalHealth October 26, 2020
(Natural News) The South Korean government is currently offering free flu vaccines to 19 million people across the country. The Korean Medical Association has deduced that the flu vaccine could potentially offset complications from covid-19, promising to keep people healthy and out of the hospital. This same theory (that a flu shot would stop covid-19) was peddled by the New York Times in March 2020.
Now the head of the Korean Medical Association is trying to halt the flu shot drive because twenty-five citizens were pronounced DEAD after taking the vaccine. The victims came from all age groups and include a 17-year-old boy and a man in his 70s. Because vaccine makers enjoy legal immunity, the human sacrifice ritual will go on and any problems will be swept under the rug and deemed "necessary" for the greater good.
Vaccine drive resumes despite twenty-five deaths and three hundred fifty acute injuries
This same vaccination drive was previously suspended for three weeks, after South Korean health officials found that five million doses were being transported without proper refrigeration. This massive lot of vaccines, improperly stored, put countless citizens at risk. The vaccination campaign ultimately resumed on October 13. In just one week, the vaccine had already claimed the lives of two dozen people.
Choi Dae-zip, president of the Korean Medical Association requested to halt the flu shot campaign, but Korean health authorities (and other blind worshipers of vaccine 'science') are trying to claim that the deaths were probably not related to the vaccine. "The number of deaths has increased, but our team sees low possibility that the deaths resulted from the shots," said Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told Parliament that the vaccine program will continue despite the deaths and public safety concerns. After resuming, at least three hundred and fifty more people have come down with severe reactions to the shots.
Flu vaccine leads the way for causing vaccine injury, hospitalizations, death and greater susceptibility to coronaviruses
A 2015 study investigated deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event's Reporting System (VAERS) in the United States from 1997 to 2013. The researchers studied the cause of death and found that 51.4 percent of all vaccine-induced deaths in adults were caused by inactivated in?uenza vaccines. The flu vaccine remains the most ineffective vaccine on the market, with the largest number of adverse events reported to VAERS.
For children, the prognosis is just as bleak. A study published in the Thoracic Society found that children vaccinated with the inactivated flu vaccine are three times more likely than their non-vaccinated peers to be hospitalized with flu-like illness. These results were especially true for children with asthma.
A Department of Defense study, published in 2020, studied a phenomenon called virus interference among military personnel. The researchers found that influenza vaccination may increase the risk of the vaccine recipient succumbing to specific respiratory viruses, namely coronaviruses and metapneumovirus. When researchers examined the prevalence of non-influenza viruses specifically, the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to non-vaccinated individuals. These results were corroborated in a study titled, Increased Risk of Non-influenza Respiratory Virus Infections Associated With Receipt of Inactivated Influenza Vaccine. The study confirmed that children vaccinated with the inactivated flu vaccine were 440 percent more likely to be infected with non-influenza respiratory viruses such as coronaviruses.
If stopping the spread of covid-19 is so important, with governments shutting down people's businesses and suppressing their livelihoods, then why isn't flu vaccine-induced coronavirus infection being studied in greater detail? Are we afraid to learn that new outbreaks of infectious disease are strategically created and accelerated via immune-suppression and the toxic science of vaccination?
As South Korea and other Nations go forward with mass vaccination campaigns, they ignore the reality that this liability-free product is exacerbating the pandemic, increasing hospitalization in children, and causing unnecessary deaths in all ages. If one shred of the energy and funds being devoted to vaccination campaigns was used to implement strategies that actually make the human immune system strong, then all these respiratory viruses would be the ones dying off.

Beech 18 Dl8S N9887A has been transported from Malmsliitt to Optand airfield in Sweden recently for restoration and static display at the Jämtlands Flyg-och Lottamuseum.
N9887A is on long-term loan from the Swedish Air Force Museum and will be refinished with the colors and markings of Beech 18R registration number TP 4. The original TP 4 was delivered in March 1940, and eventually assigned to the F4 Wing on Frösön Island. ln 1941, TP 4 was transferred to F 21 at Lulea-Kallax airfield, before joining the Swedish civil register as SE-BTX; it returned to military service after being used on an Antarctic expedition, but met its end when it folded and crashed during take-off from its home airfield on Frösön Island due to incorrect flaps on January 9, 1953, resulting in the death of her pilot.
N9887A was obtained by Swedish Air Force Museum during 1984 in an exchange deal with Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation. The aircraft had been stored outside at Malaga, Spain for years, having last been operated by the Royal Moroccan Air Force. Following restoration to airworthiness, N9887A arrived at Malmslatt, but was placed into unprotected storage where its condition deteriorated.
Returning this Beech 18 to a level acceptable for static display is expected to take between two and three years.

Michael Steinhardt wrongfully traded after receiving non-public information: Judge's Ruling
Posted By: Sheeraz Raza Jan 10, 2012, 10:30 am
Legendary hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt has been sanctioned by a Delaware judge for improper trading in a ruling that says Steinhardt wrongfully traded after receiving non-public information while serving as a plaintiff in a securities lawsuit.
Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an opinion on Friday that directed Steinhardt to self-report his insider trading to the Securities & Exchange Commission and disgorge profits of $534,071 related to his shorting of shares of Calix., a Petaluma, Calif., provider of broadband communications access systems, after it had agreed to purchase Occam Networks in 2010.
"By serving as representative plaintiffs, Steinhardt and the Funds gained access to real-time insights informed by Confidential Discovery Material and counsel's litigation assessments," Vice Chancellor Laster wrote in his 29-page opinion issued January 6. "Based in part on this information, Steinhardt and the Funds decided to abandon their challenge to the Merger and exit their Occam position in a manner designed to capture the arbitrage spread between Occam and Calix."
Steinhardt, chairman of WisdomTree, is a hedge fund pioneer who liquidated his hedge fund in 1995 and has been managing his own money through Steinhardt Overseas Management and Ilex Partners. He did not quickly respond to a request for comment, but in legal papers his lawyers have argued that none of the information he received while acting as a plaintiff was material, non-public information. Steinhardt in a legal filing denied any wrongdoing and said he received no information that would matter in trading Calix or Occam stock.
Steinhardt orginally got into this mess because of one of his former hedge fund partners, Herbert Chen, who has been running another fund firm, Lattanzio Chen Partners, since 2005 with John Lattanzio, another Steinhardt alumnus. Chen's links to Steinhardt have remained strong—he has worked out of Steinhardt's offices free of charge in an office that is roughly 20 feet away from Steinhardt's office.
It was Chen who got Steinhardt interested in Occam. Chen had purchased 2.9% of Occam's stock and was a big advocate of the company. His championing of Occam's shares made sense since they represented at one point some 20% of his net worth, the Laster opinion says, but Chen used unorthodox ways to promote the company. Using pseudonyms, Chen frequently posted about Occam on Yahoo message boards and he also wrote research articles about Occam for SeekingAlpha.com under the alias "Mr. Bert."
But by January 2009, the Lattanzio-Chen fund needed cash to meet a margin call, the legal opinion says, and Chen turned to Steinhardt, offering a block of Occam shares at a distressed price. Steinhardt ended up buying 2.8 million shares of Occam, or 13.5% of its shares outstanding. In September 2010, Calix announced that it had a deal to purchase Occam for $170 million of cash and stock.
Steinhardt and Chen did not like the deal, which implied a value of $7.75 per Occam share, because it represented little premium to the price range where Occam's stock had been trading. In October 2010, Steinhardt and Chen filed a class action complaint in Delaware Chancery Court, alleging Occam's directors breached their fiduciary duties in approving the deal at an unfair price. They later pursued an injunction against the merger. One month later, in November 2010, Vice Chancellor Laster approved a confidentiality order. It stated that information exchanged by the parties of the case could only be used for the purposes of the litigation and it restricted any trading in the securities of Occam and Calix. Occam's investment banker, Jefferies & Company, in December 2010 started document production and Chen reviewed some 3,000 pages, many of which were designated confidential.

These Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs are the perfect use of your electric pressure cooker. They turn out perfectly tender and are packed full of red wine and rosemary flavor. They are even better when served with ancient grains and drizzled with red wine gravy.
COMFORT FOOD! I'm screaming it from the rooftops because this cold weather just screams all things comfort food. These Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs give you all that classic slow braised taste BUT they take just a little over an hour. If you haven't jumped on the electric pressure cooker bandwagon you need to get one of these babies!
I mean, who doesn't want fall off the bone tender short ribs in just 45 minutes cook time?
PLUS they taste even better when served over Hodgson Mills NEW Ancient Grains Medley. I used their rosemary and olive oil flavor but I think any of their 3 flavors would be awesome!
If you're thinking to yourself "what's an Ancient Grain Medley" well let me tell you! It's a delicious mixture of KAMUT® Khorasan wheat, sorghum, and teff. It's nutty, hearty and goes perfectly with the rich meatiness of these red wine short ribs. Now, I don't use a lot of these grains in my house but after having used it a delicious whole grain side dish I'm all about it!
Plus, introducing "New" ancient grains, with unfamiliar flavors or textures, doesn't have to be difficult – and it can also be delicious! Whole Grains are specially produced to retain all parts of the grain – often grains are refined to remove the nutritious bran and germ, which are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Hodgson Mill side dishes are new, and can be found in-store in select areas, but can also be purchased online at www.hodgsonmill.com or on Amazon.
Now, let's get back to this recipe! If you're new to the Instant Pot world you need to get over the fear of electric pressure cookers and DO IT! I'm not going to lie – I don't use it every single week BUT I use it at least a few times a month. It makes cooking large batches of meat super simple and if you love to meal prep you'll want one of these machines.
For these Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs, I browned the short ribs right in the pot and then sauteed some onions and carrots and finally poured in the wine, fresh herbs, and short ribs. After they cooked for a bit I released the pressure, skimmed off the fat and turned all that delicious red wine into a red wine gravy.
You guys – this dish is straight up comfort food that you'll want to make ASAP!
Looking for even more winter comfort food recipes? Try my chipotle ground beef enchiladas, French onion Salisbury steak, cast iron chicken, short rib chili, Grenadian chicken stew or my homemade Mississippi roast.
Season all sides of the short ribs with kosher salt and black pepper.
Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and set to "saute" setting. When the pot is hot add in the short ribs (I do about 3 or 4 at a time) and brown on all sides. This should take about 7-8 minutes per batch.
When the ribs are browned set aside and add the carrots and onions to the pot. If there is not enough oil drizzle in a little so the vegetables don't stick. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the carrots just start to soften and the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds or just until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan so you get up any brown bits that may have happened on the bottom of the pot.
Turn off the saute setting.
Add the short ribs back to the pot, secure the lid, make sure the nozzle is placed to "seal" and cook on manual or stew setting for 45 minutes.
When the ribs have finished cooking manually release the pressure and remove the lid when unlocked.
Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and skim off any fat at the top of the liquid in the pot. I like to use a soup ladle to help take off as much fat as possible. This takes about 5 minutes.
Put the Instant Pot on saute mode.
In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and cold water. When combined add to the Instant Pot liquid and let the mixture cook down a bit while it thickens up. Make sure to stir the liquid while it's cooking. When the liquid is thick and looks like gravy turn off the heat.
Add the short ribs back to the pot so they stay warm.
While your short ribs are warming back up make your bag of Hodgson Mill Ancient Grains Medley according to package directions.
To serve add grains to a plate, top with 1 or 2 short ribs and a spoonful of gravy. Make sure to spoon on some carrots as well.
I love love love short ribs and I love that this is a faster version than my recipes!
Your photos are amazing and making my stomach growl….looks like I'll be making this sooner than later, lol! Time to break out my IP.
I am new to the Instant Pot game. I love finding recipes that are tried and approved! This looks great!
WOW! This will be my dinner tonight! Looks so yummy!
Those short ribs look positively swoon-worthy!
I dont know anything about red wine. What is a good dry red wine to use?
Hi Dennis! I like to use a dry red wine – something like a cabernet sauvignon.

Who are River Smith and Heidi Raynor and What Kind of Cult are They Running?
April 3, 2010 By Paul Elam 1 Comment
Complaints are currently being filed with the state of Ohio against the owners and operators of the internet website known as allaboutcounseling.com.
These events began as an almost routine story about a mental health advocacy website spreading disinformation about domestic violence that demonizes men, denies male victims and shields female perpetrators.
And while the disinformation is there in abundance, more digging behind the scenes at allaboutcounseling.com revealed what appears to be gross professional misconduct and an ongoing scheme involving psychological extortion, abuse and depraved indifference. Multiple sources have alleged that the site management is preying on and manipulating site users for cash with the finesse and brio reminiscent of a corrupt televangelist operation.
And they are reportedly heaping a plethora of emotional abuses and threats on site users who speak up against it.
All of this is being conducted under the auspices of mental health advocacy; with the professional blessings (and under the state license number) of a clinical psychologist.
The details of this story have the expected intricacies and complications of most scandals, especially with the efforts that the alleged perpetrators have made to disconnect their names from their actions. But the scam runs something like this:
Allaboutcounseling.com runs a members only on-line forum in which individuals are invited to join and participate for the benefit of "Confronting fears, honest feedback and active growth through the use and benefits of anonymity and healthy communication."
Users are made to believe that there interactions there are completely anonymous and conducted in an environment where it is safe to be openly vulnerable and to disclose intimate details of problems in their lives.
For some this seems to be the case.
But many former site users are saying that frequently what happens there is markedly different. In fact, after a month long study of the site and several interviews with former ACC members, I found the reports too consistent to be ignored.
In what appears to be a systematic pattern of significant abuses, the site management presents professional psychological qualifications, induces users to rely on the forum as a source of peer and arguably professional support, but subsequently acts toward many of the members with the following:
Banning users without notice, reason and without a referral to other help.
Redirecting banned users to pornography websites when they attempt to log on.
Tacit email threats to expose users identities publicly for dissenting from site management
Site management "diagnosing" members with personality disorders as a reaction to dissent.
Regularly threatening members who depend on the site forum to close it unless money is donated.
Encouraging the abuse of most male members and abusively targeting female members who had congenial communications with males.
Fomenting conflict between forum members and encouraging some individuals to abuse others.
In fact, as I studied reports of the abuses from some of the sites former members, the picture that clearly emerged was that of tactics used by cult leaders to control and manipulated their followers. Or, as one member, who requested anonymity, put it, "I felt that it was abusive because of the way it chummed vulnerable, trusting people who came to the site, and drew them in to a charmer/abuser codependency cult."
This same member, after posting that she felt the instigated conflict helped the hit count of the site was reportedly told publicly by site management that she was "delusional, sick and paranoid."
Another member, again speaking on the condition of anonymity, reported being banned from the site without notification and then being redirected to a pornography site when he attempted to log on.
Part of his reaction to this, taken from a statement which is available in the comments section at avoiceformen.com, was unsettling. "I had always respected the site coordinator," he said, "but after she did this to me I was sad to say the least. I was hurt. I felt deeply betrayed, humiliated and abused."
Another former member reported that she too was redirected to a pornography site after being banned from the forum.
And yet another member reported getting an email from site management that repeatedly demeaned her, and made multiple references to her location, number of children and her profession. This was interpreted as a veiled threat to reveal her identity or worse. And it is of particular concern because there are many members who have joined the allaboutcounseling.com forum for support when escaping abusive relationships in which they were or are being stalked.
Such a breech of confidence in those situations could have disastrous results.
On the surface, some of this behavior may appear part and parcel to the internet. There is a lot of flaming going on, and capricious site administration is hardly rare. It happens on a lot of websites. But this isn't just a lot of websites. It is a site that proffers, with professional credibility, to extend support to people at highly vulnerable moments in their lives. Indeed, it beckons them to participate throughout most pages on the site and assures them they are in a safe environment.
These actions not only reflect a moral deficit, but are likely in violation of the State of Ohio's rules and regulations governing professional counselors, the American Psychological Associations Code of Conduct, and various other state laws. This is especially true as site management presents professional credentials, accept money and places no disclaimer whatsoever regarding participation in the forums.
"Site management" is most likely better identified as Heidi Raynor, M.Ed., who in her bio claims to be an experienced counselor with two years of individual counseling experience, but lists no license information or professional references.
She also apparently doubles in the site forum as "Site Coordinator or "SC" as users refer to her. Raynor herself never openly makes the admission that she is SC, but in several posts, SC claims ownership of the site and solicits for donations regularly. Those donations have to be made payable directly to Raynor and are to be mailed to her home address at 4227 W. 15th, Cleveland, Ohio.
Raynor states in her solicitations that checks must be made out to her personally, and not to allaboutcounseling.com, leaving the speculation open to whether or not she is claiming the income when filing taxes.
But Raynor is not acting alone. According to information provided on the site, the content on allaboutcounseling.com was authored by River Smith, Ph.D.. Further investigation revealed that Smith is an Ohio based clinical psychologist who practices under Ohio State license number 4658, at 11206 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland, Ohio tel. 216-651-1302
According to information received from a source at the State Board of Psychology of Ohio, Dr. Smith's presence as one of the creators of that site, and the provision of his license number, inextricably ties him to the conduct and practices of it's managers, whether that conduct comes directly from Dr. Smith or not.
And under those circumstances, that translates legally to the site and everyone who manages it being subject to all applicable statutes and codes of conduct for that profession.
Most of Smith's role appears to be providing content related to mental health issues, making him the direct source of the misleading statistics and disinformation. But also by attaching his credentials to a site that is taking money, he puts his license on the line for any improprieties and ethical violations that transpire.
It also raises the significant question of whether the site is, in reality, an online psychology practice. Early information from the state of Ohio suggests that it is, though there will not be a final determination on this until complaints about the site have been investigated by officials in Ohio.
According to several of the former members of the site, Dr. Smith may be in direct violation of several statutes that govern the practice of psychology in that state. These include, but are not limited to the following:
Failure to report sexual abuse of children to authorities (there were several posts by members that reported their children being abused)
Failure to report physical abuse of children
Failure to report suicide threats by members
Children being allowed to log on and read detailed and sexually explicit accounts of other members lives.
Domestic abuse reports ignored by site management
Questionable solicitations for money
Presentation of misleading information
Proffering false counseling qualifications
Regarding the child molestations, according to a source at the Ohio State Board of Psychology, psychologists are mandated to report knowledge of child abuse to authorities and it makes no difference that the reports were received online, nor does it matter that the reports came from anonymous sources. Discovery of the sources is a police matter, not one for the psychologist to undertake or even be concerned with. Their mandate under state law is to report these incidents immediately.
There is no evidence that any reports with police were filed, meaning that a licensed psychologist and another individual claiming to be a professional counselor knew or should have known that children were being abused and did nothing but ask for more money.
At the time this article goes live, at least two and perhaps more individuals are compiling complaints against allaboutcounseling.com which will be filed with The Ohio State Board of Psychology and The American Psychological Association. This summary and a copy of the complaints will also be forwarded to the Ohio State Attorney General's Office for consideration.
When I first brought this story to avoiceformen.com and mensnewsdaily.com, I also forwarded it to about two hundred psychotherapists that supported the site by listing their services there and by purchasing an enhanced presence in the site directory.
To their credit, several of those clinicians directed allaboutcounseling.com to remove their listings. Most did not, however, and did not respond to my emails. Their practice information is listed below.
Once the complaints with the named agencies and the State Attorney General have been filed, an update will be provided regarding this matter. And in the update, I will begin exploring how the practice of "feminist therapy" has naturally led to such abuses of ethics and hopefully what can be done to stop it.
A list of over 200 psychotherapists, counselors, social workers and psychologists that list their services at allaboutcounseling.com is available at the Men's News Daily article here.
[Update: While the state of Ohio has not yet taken any action on the complaints, all information and reference to River Smith has been removed from the site, as has all information on the other individuals who manage and maintain allaboutcounseling.com. Just like cockroaches when the lights go on.]

Ice Spice Drops Video for "In Ha Mood"


Passion for pathos, great gestures, extensive orchestral cast, and the inclination to catchy lyric melodies are the hallmarks of the music of Romanticism - the era that began in the first half of the nineteenth century, which in the hearts of some artists, survived until the mid-twentieth century (and perhaps till today).
Among the leading representatives of late German Romanticism is Anton Bruckner - his fourth (most popular) Symphony in E flat major does not accidentally also bear the subtitle "Romantic". It comes from Bruckner himself, although he was suggested by his friends who saw in the work images of medieval knights, castles, and scenes of hunting, thus typical inspirations of romantic artists. This composition is known not only for its romantic character and catchy phrases, but also for the incredible number of versions and corrections the author brought to the work over the following 14 years from its inception in 1874.
Violinist Michael Barenboim will perform one of the most famous violin concertos, the work of the "late" Russian Romantic Alexander Glazunov. Concert in A minor, Op. 82 was created in 1904 for Leopold Auer and thanks to its virtuoso character, especially in cadence, gained considerable popularity among violinists. Zygmunt Noskowski belongs to the "late" Polish Romantics. The inspiration of nature and the Polish landscape played an important role in the composer's work, as exemplified by the artist's early work - the concert overture "Lake in the Tatras" op. 19 from 1875.

Q: Securing Bluetooth LE Messages I have a requirement to communicate with a custom Bluetooth LE device. The communication needs to be

*

*Secure (plain text cannot be read)

*Not vulnerable to replay attacks

*Contained within 20 or 22 bytes per message to Bluetooth LE restrictions (or phone API implementation restrictions)

Trusting Bluetooth LE's native encryption alone seems to be a poor choice based on this:
https://github.com/mikeryan/crackle/
So then we come to implementing our own encryption. In a normal client / server communication (TCP for example) with no message size restriction, AES-128 in CBC mode with a pre-shared private key might be a good choice.
However with Bluetooth LE

*

*There's not enough space to transmit an Initialization Vector with each Characteristic read / write

*It seems error prone to keep track of changing IVs based on the last block of the last message received / transmitted, given multiple Characteristics being broadcast etc.

Have I missed some other way of making Bluetooth LE secure?

A: ...fragment the data to 20 bytes and do multiple write to a BLE characteristic stored in the GATT. You will need to come up with a protocol to reassemble the fragmented data.
To fight the replay attack you can generate, before each new connection, a new challenge request and broadcast it via advertisement. It will be picked up by the central and returned encrypted to the peripheral. Make sure you generate a new challenge for each new connection.
The Bluetooth LE pairing (not including OOB) cannot be trusted from security point. There is a need to encrypt the data at the firmware application level on top of the pairing (using Just Work or better). Implementation of symmetric encryption (AES128 or 256) with challenge request is a good way to start.
Lastly, I would suggest to dig into the BLE OOB (Out-Of-Band) pairing that allows the exchange of a symmetric pairing key between the central and peripheral. That would also be a decent alternative to secure the communication. There are couple of implementation with NFC available.

Q: Cannot create a batch pipeline to get data from ZohoCRM with http plugin 1.2.1 to BigQuery. Retuns Spark Program 'phase-1' failed My first post here and I'm new to Data Fusion and I'm with low to no coding skills.
I want to get data from ZohoCRM to BigQuery. Module from ZohoCRM (e.g. accounts, contacts...) to be a separate table in BigQuery.
To connect to Zoho CRM I obtained a code, token, refresh token and everything needed as described here https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/docs/api/v2/get-records.html. Then I ran a successful get records request as described here via Postman and it returned the records from Zoho CRM Accounts module as JSON file.
I thought it will be all fine and set the parameters in Data Fusion
DataFusion_settings_1 and DataFusion_settings_2 it validated fine. Then I previewed and ran the pipeline without deploying it. It failed with the following info from the logs logs_screenshot. I tried to manually enter a few fields in the schema when the format was JSON. I tried changing the format to csv, nether worked. I tried switching the Verify HTTPS Trust Certificates on and off. It did not help.
I'd be really thankful for some help. Thanks.
Update, 2020-12-03
I got in touch with Google Cloud Account Manager, who then took my question to their engineers and here is the info
The HTTP plugin can be used to "fetch Atom or RSS feeds regularly, or to fetch the status of an external system" it does not seems to be designed for APIs
At the moment a more suitable tool for data collected via APIs is Dataflow https://cloud.google.com/dataflow
"Google Cloud Dataflow is used as the primary ETL mechanism, extracting the data from the API Endpoints specified by the customer, which is then transformed into the required format and pushed into BigQuery, Cloud Storage and Pub/Sub."
https://www.onixnet.com/insights/gcp-101-an-introduction-to-google-cloud-platform
So in the next weeks I'll be looking at Data Flow.

A: Can you please attach the complete logs of the preview run? Make sure to redact any PII data. Also what is the version of CDF you are using? Is CDF instance private or public?
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar

A: Did you end up using Dataflow?
I am also experiencing the same issue with the HTTP plugin, but my temporary way to go around it was to use a cloud scheduler to periodically trigger a cloud function that fetches my data from the API and exports them as a JSON to GCS, which can then be accessed by Data Fusion.
My solution is of course non-ideal, so I am still looking for a way to use the Data Fusion HTTP plugin. I was able to make it work to get sample data from public API end-points, but for a reason still unknown to me I can't get it to work for my actual API.

Alabama to meet Notre Dame in relocated CFP semifinal game

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Top-ranked Alabama will face No. 4 Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal originally scheduled to serve as the 107th Rose Bowl.
The semifinal game to be played Jan. 1 has been moved from Pasadena to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, ostensibly based on the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the Los Angeles area, but more significantly because of the resulting ban on fans at spectator sports in California.
It's still unclear whether the game in the Dallas Cowboys' stadium will be called the Rose Bowl, but the decision ended a streak of 78 straight years in Pasadena for a bowl game first played in 1902.
The festive week of genteel celebrations around the Rose Bowl game already had been mostly canceled, interrupting a beloved annual holiday tradition for hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles-area residents and tens of thousands of visiting fans.
Back in July, organizers scrapped the Tournament of Roses Parade, an event dating to 1890 — including every year since 1945. Thousands typically camp out on the streets of Pasadena on New Year's Eve to secure the best spots to watch the parade, and the elaborate spectacle is also a national television fixture on the morning of New Year's Day.
The Rose Bowl game had been played in verdant Arroyo Seco every year since 1942, when the West Coast was deemed unsafe due to the attack on Pearl Harbor just 3 1/2 weeks earlier. Oregon State beat Duke in Durham, North Carolina, in that version of the Rose Bowl, but the game had been played in Pasadena in every January since.
The tradition-loving Rose Bowl had already changed with the evolution of college football's various playoff systems over the past two decades. The game was no longer guaranteed its preferred annual matchup between Pac-12 and Big Ten opponents, yet it remained among the most coveted postseason destinations for teams across the country.
This matchup would have been among the biggest in the stadium's history, too.
Notre Dame has played in the Rose Bowl only once: In 1925, legendary coach Knute Rockne and his Four Horsemen beat coach Pop Warner and Stanford to complete an unbeaten season.
Alabama's first bowl game was the 1926 Rose Bowl, and the Tide played in six early editions of the game. They haven't been back in the official Rose Bowl game since 1946, although they beat Texas on Jan. 7, 2010, in the BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl stadium.
The decision to move the game was not unexpected, and it was driven primarily by the objections of the contending schools to flying across the country to play without fans.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly both complained last week about the California state government's decision to deny two waiver requests by the game. Kelly even claimed his team might boycott the game.
"I love the Rose Bowl!" Kelly said during a television interview with ESPN on Sunday, emphasizing his complaint was about the inability for players' families to watch the game.
In the end, Clemson was assigned to the Sugar Bowl semifinal, while Kelly's team will have families in the stands in Texas in a game between two of the most storied programs in college football, pitting the national championship favorites against the final addition to the four-team playoff.
"I'm just really grateful that everybody was able to sit down, think about it (and decide) that this made sense to get the families to the game," Kelly said. "It wasn't really about the fans, because our guys have done fine without fans, but this was really about the families."
Alabama (11-0) won the SEC and rolled through its schedule with another high-powered season under coach Nick Saban, who is chasing his sixth national championship with the Crimson Tide. They topped the CFP rankings from start to finish this season after missing the playoff last year for the only time since the system began, capping their perfect season by beating Florida 52-46 in the conference title game Saturday.
"This team has done a phenomenal job all year long of handling disruptions, overcoming adversity (and) being resilient to various things that have happened," Saban told ESPN. "They've really stayed focused. We told them early on that the team that handles the disruptions the best is the team that's going to have the best chance to be successful in the end."
Notre Dame (10-1) beat out Texas A&M for the final playoff spot, and the Fighting Irish will be major underdogs against the powerhouse Crimson Tide. Alabama famously routed the Irish 42-14 in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7, 2013.
The Irish had been No. 2 in the CFP rankings for the past month, but their 34-10 loss to Clemson in the ACC title game put their playoff hopes in jeopardy, particularly because A&M won its final seven straight SEC games. Notre Dame's loss to Clemson snapped its 16-game winning streak, the longest in the FBS.
The playoff committee still chose the wildly popular Irish for the opportunity to be a huge underdog against Alabama. But instead of a week amid the pomp and pageantry of the Rose Bowl, the teams will spend their semifinal week in Texas, after an abbreviated stretch of postseason preparation around the Christmas holiday.
Saban will give his players three days off for Christmas before they resume work, saying he "didn't have the heart" to keep players away from their families.
Southern California's coronavirus infection rate, while critical, is actually better by percentage of infected population than the situation in Tarrant County, where AT&T Stadium is located.

Les élections fédérales suisses de 1872 se sont déroulées le . Ces élections permettent d'élire au système majoritaire les 135 députés (+7 par rapport aux dernières élections) répartis sur 48 arrondissements électoraux (+1 par rapport aux dernières élections) eux-mêmes répartis sur les 22 cantons, siégeant au Conseil national (chambre basse), pour une mandature de trois ans.

Les 7 nouveaux sièges se répartissent ainsi : 2 sièges supplémentaires pour le canton de Berne et respectivement un siège pour chacun des cantons de Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Soleure, Saint Gall et Zurich.

Le corps électoral composé de citoyens ayant droit de cité élit désormais directement les membres du Conseil des États dans les cantons Obwald (à travers la Landsgemeinde), de Soleure, de Thurgovie et de Zurich. Dans les 18 autres cantons, les élections au Conseil des États sont quant à elles toujours non régulées et certains cantons ont renouvelé leurs Sénateurs parfois plusieurs fois sur les trois années écoulées. Dans ces 18 autres cantons, les Conseillers aux États continuent d'être élus, nommés ou désignés par les Grands Conseils, et ce à des dates variables.

À la suite de l'échec en votation populaire de la Révision totale de la Constitution fédérale suisse le  à une courte majorité de 50,5%, les tensions sont ravivées entre fédéralistes Libéraux Modérés et les Catholiques Conservateurs et les partisans d'un état central fort que sont les Radicaux. D'autant plus que le Kulturkampf, déclenché par l'annonce de l'infaillibilité papale en 1872, ravive les tensions religieuses au sein du pays. Les Conservateurs catholiques ont toutefois essayé de montrer une volonté de compromis et d'éviter ainsi de fournir à leurs adversaires politiques du camp radical un prétexte afin d'éviter d'être partisan d'un nouveau Sonderbund en s'alliant avec les fédéralistes réformés germanophones et les anti-centralistes romands. Ainsi, sous une forme vague d'unité entre catholiques et réformés, la religion reste écartée de la campagne et les Catholiques conservateur réussissent même à gagner plusieurs sièges.

À côté des tensions religieuses, la composante nationaliste joue un rôle plus important dans cette campagne électorale. Après la Guerre franco-allemande de 1870, le pays est divisé entre partisans de la Troisième République française et admirateurs de l'Empire allemand, récemment créés. Les fédéralistes romands craignent alors une germanisation de la Suisse et mettent en garde contre une «prussification» du pays.

Pour ces élections depuis 1848, les Radicaux (centre-gauche) remportent pour la neuvième fois consécutivement le scrutin fédéral avec 60 sièges (+3) et 32,2 % des voix (-2,4 %). Avec 30 sièges (+6), les Catholiques Conservateurs (droite) sont les vainqueurs de ces élections en obtennant le plus grand gain de sièges et dépasse désormais les Libéraux Modérés (centre) (27 sièges)) avec 21,1 % des voix.

Ces élections ont débouché sur la  Législature qui s'est réunie pour la première fois le .

Sur les  âgés de 20 et plus et ayant droit de cité,  d'entre eux prirent part à ce scrutin, ce qui représente un taux de participation de 62,1% (+7,9 %). C'est le plus fort taux de participation depuis 1848.

Pour la première fois, dans les 6 cantons (AI, AR, GL, OW, NW et UR) où les conseillers nationaux étaient élus par les Landsgemeinden cantonales respectives, le scrutin se déroule désormais dans les urnes. Désormais, tous les cantons élisent les conseillers nationaux avec des bulletins de vote.
Le taux de participation le plus élevé est dans le Canton d'Uri avec 91,3 % et celui-ci dépasse le taux de participation du Canton de Schaffhouse où le vote obligatoire ne fait déplacer «que» 75,2 % du corps électoral. À l'inverse, dans le canton de Schwytz seulement 39,8 % du corps électoral prend part au vote.

Législature 1872-1875

Les liens (et couleurs) renvoient sur les partis héritiers actuels de ces formations politiques d'antan. Certaines formations sont passées de gauche au centre-droit (GR, CL ⇒ PLR), d'autres de la droite au centre-droit (PCC ⇒ PDC) ou  centre-gauche (DÉ ⇒ PEV). La Gauche Démocratique est restée à gauche aujourd'hui à travers les mouvements socialistes.

The divorce lawyers at Shemtob Draganosky Taylor are experienced in handling property distribution cases. In Pennsylvania, the court divides all marital property in an equitable manner. However, the term "equitable division" does not necessarily refer to an equal division. Contact us to learn more about your equitable distribution rights.
Although there are some exceptions, assets acquired during the marriage, regardless of how they are titled, are part of the marital estate and therefore subject to equitable distribution. This will include such assets as real estate, pensions, 401ks, IRAs, businesses, brokerage accounts, stock options, stocks, CDs, money market accounts, bank accounts, the cash values of life insurance, automobiles, jewelry, and personal property.
Gifts from third parties and inheritances are excluded as marital assets. However, if these gifts were used to make a joint purchase or put in a joint home, the jointly purchased property is included as a marital asset.
At Shemtob Draganosky Taylor, our attorneys work to ascertain exactly what should be included and excluded from the marital estate. When appropriate, we engage experts to value businesses or real estate. Our goal is to ensure all assets are located and that the correct value is assigned to each asset.
When determining an equitable division of marital property, the court considers eleven factors. Among them are which spouse is the custodian of the minor children, which spouse is earning more money and has the ability to earn more money, and whether either has money set aside in his or her own name that is not marital property. The court then determines an equitable division of assets based on the specific circumstances of each case.
Contact Shemtob Draganosky Taylor today to learn more about marital property distribution and how we can help you.


The train sails toward Saint-Lazare. It's hard to say whether there's a sense of delay or desire. All the same, the approach to Saint-Lazare represents fulfillment, even if whatever brings you to the city falls short of extraordinary. Above all, it seems as though you're always approaching Saint-Lazare, like Zeno's arrow, without ever hitting the mark. You cross the bridge at Asnières. Below, on the right, there used to be a swimming pool, a blue rectangle, an unquenchable thirst. In passing, much too quickly, there is just splashing and confusion—one has no time to focus on any particular swimmer, just a generalized impression of others having fun—an impertinent effervescence, a challenge. Then the pool closed, the rectangle emptied, and you could see the contours of the bottom, the downward slope of the tiles, a feeling of great silence—it's not the nearness of a cemetery that suggests death, but this hollow rectangle. Much later, the space was filled in and a recreation area took its place—an undulating rollerskating course, a lame attempt to say there could be something else there, in that spot, beyond the before and the after.
Asnières, Clichy-Levallois, Port-Cardinet, the high walls just below the Batignolles Garden, and posted in the shadows, a white sign with red lettering, "Paris Saint-Lazare 2 km." It's not like you had missed the first sign, a bit earlier, "Paris Saint-Lazare 5 km." To calm impatient passengers? Or rather to compound the increasing slowness of the train that jolts along almost in slow motion? For a long time you had to take a local train, then a regional one, to get to Saint-Lazare. Whatever the traveling conditions—standing, or more or less comfortably seated—there is this slowing, just before reaching the platform; the decanting of mental operations. You are coming into Saint-Lazare. You could be coming into Montparnasse, or the Gare du Nord. The destinations are different, of course; they don't cross. Nevertheless, there is a latent proximity that floats suspended in time and space. Apparently, every man is an island. But the buildings, the snatches of street, the faded posters, and the glowing neon signs are imprinted on their bodies, in their minds. That happens with a feigned indifference, a glum look, whether you are impatiently waiting to meet your lover, or you are an administrative assistant, or a bank clerk. Reaching Paris is a false consolation, even if walking purposefully along the platform belies your real feelings. That indifference veils the sham. Because there's a deep, hidden satisfaction, almost a sleepy happiness in being part of the voyage, in crossing infinitely into Paris and never getting there. In being in this life.
A distant cousin who sometimes came to spend a few days at the house. She was pretty, two or three years older than me. Brunette, with bright eyes, long hair. Her dress daring for the times. I remember one summer vacation when she wore jeans over a bathing suit with a plunging back. Sometimes we took bike rides in the afternoon, together in the heat of the Garonne countryside. Some self-assured words from her, a low even voice, lightly nasal, some embarrassed mumblings of my own. A lot of silence.
Talkative, in contrast with the rest of the family in the morning, she stretched languorously—no: she gave the impression of stretching languorously—and, holding her bowl in both hands, said, "I adore warm milk in the morning." I always felt clumsy around her, but the feline confession of her pleasure paralyzed me with a feeling of crippling mediocrity and, I thought, plunged my whole family into a palpable discomfort. Those drinking black coffee could only nod in agreement with a noticeable absence of polite conviction. As for me, I found my tea with milk suddenly revealed as bland—the blandness of my small self, incapable of demonstrating in sensual majesty the appropriateness of my choice.
In spectacular fashion, my cousin embodied at once the superiority and the unseemliness of language and body movements that evoke the intensity of pleasure at the heart of a social ritual where all positive sensations should only be minimally expressed. Only children are exempt from such reserve, perhaps because it is considered normal for them to feel things more strongly, or more likely because they are excused for not yet having adopted the code. What justifies this code? Most importantly, how does the tacit prohibition against excessive expressions of pleasure alter the intensity of pleasure? We would find it comical enough to see someone tasting coffee with groans of ecstasy. But all the same, is it normal to always say, "That's good," with the objective detachment of a certified public accountant looking at balance sheet; "It's delicious," with a cheerfulness authorized only by the role of the guest extolling the dish that's been served—preferably at the moment when the eater is completely caught up in a much less gastronomic discussion, but feels an inner alarm clock going off that evokes, "It's delicious," in a tone all the more enthusiastic as the words are pronounced hurriedly, without missing a beat in a running commentary on the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition?
And what about those who never say, "That's good"? Are they perverted, or prisoners? Do they feel greater pleasure in saving rather than spending their share of outward expression? And so, do we or don't we choose to belong to the human contingent who know how to say, "That's good"?
Of course, she overplayed it a bit. Of course, she knew she was beautiful. Of course, she knew that she made us uncomfortable. Even so, it was good to see my cousin shake out her long hair, wait for the silence and deliver in her low voice, "I adore warm milk in the morning."
Six-thirty. The beach begins to empty. Having had your fill of sun and wind, body pacified by swimming, you slip on a T-shirt. You get up. Consultation with the rest of the party unnecessary, you peacefully begin the ritual of departure. There will be mutual consent, without a word. These are empty days, that time of year when nothing is happening in the cities. You are a tanned idiot with a book as an alibi—you've read all of three pages—at the bottom of your bag. At first, you went to the beach as soon as the sun came up, but now that the good weather has settled in, you draw out the mindless morning tasks. Going to get bread and the paper, you'll buy paper towels; you still have fruit until tomorrow. You stop for coffee at the corner of the square, next to the old church that gives the seaside resort its authentic village feel. In the early afternoon, you take a nap without any guilt. You spend two hours on the beach, three at most, the sun beats down hard, you are already tan enough, and anything beyond this would be pointless.
In this slow, deliciously slack life, one gesture is utterly satisfying. Shaking out your towel. A lot of people have already left the beach, so you no longer run the risk of blinding your neighbors. The terrycloth is almost dry, just a little heavy. You snap it in front of you, several times, with a strange pleasure, which has nothing in common with a domestic task effectively performed. In the desire to free the towel of every last grain of sand, there's a little of that gratuitous obstinacy with which some people clean a peach pit with a knife point. But it's more than that. A small finale that you enact without any sadness—tomorrow you'll come back, the summer has taken on this repeated immobility that dilutes tensions, expectation. A kind of flag salute, too. You took one step at a time. For hours you stretched out on the sand. Now you get up. With vigor, you salute the tranquil emptiness that captured you again this year, with these rituals of modest eternity. You don't shake out your idleness. You unfurl it.
No one had anything very exciting to say about it. Just a little condescending drop in the inflection of the sentence, "Ah! You're going to Turin!" Much left unsaid in that reservation. Turin, it's not really Italy. In a country that has one seductive city after another, the name is almost repellent, bringing with it the idea of heavy industrialization, and the city's proximity to the French border. Already, in counterpoint, arises the idea of being pleasantly surprised by it, the healthy hope of overturning archetypes.
Surprise. No need to force yourself. The squares in Turin are expansive, much more beautiful than you could have imagined. Of course, the opulence of the palaces doesn't provide much of a change of scenery, but an astonishing atmosphere of freedom hangs suspended in the sunlight of early October. You venture onto the terrace, fully aware that coolness will settle quickly with the dark. Leaving the Piazza Castello you discover the quaint charm of the Galleria Subalpina, an old glass-covered passageway that's almost Nordic, or Slavic.
In the morning, the town comes alive very early, everything fast, busy. Slipping through as a flâneur is easy, even against the current. Under the arcades, secondhand bookstores collapse in a disorder that has little to do with the Fiat empire. You follow the road to the Po. To the west, you catch a glimpse of a few alpine peaks. In front of you, hills scattered with patrician villas. You are approaching the river. Rowing clubs, hybrids of British tradition and Italian elegance, dot the bank on one side.
There is no lack of reasons for admiration, for contentment, but the reward comes from that first inkling of doubt which plays a role in the alchemy of pleasure. To like what others disdain, what they mistrust. It isn't so much about playing the iconoclast as it is about gaining a capacity for personal astonishment. You are not like Léautaud, who bought up copies of Neveu de Rameau for fear that they might fall into the wrong hands. But neither are you like those who want to read only what others are reading. You like to believe in yourself a little. Enjoying yourself in Turin.
Open air cinema, mid-summer, in Venice, Campo San Polo. A large space, but out of the way, off the beaten tourist path. Who would've guessed? The movie started a while ago. It's good to sit some distance away, on a bench. You can just see a bit of the screen that rises above the fence. You listen to the soundtrack, you see a close-up of half of Mastroianni's face in 8½. Just like that, in Italy, very late, a July evening. A film you can't really see, words you can't really understand. But that music of the Italian language seems made for the cinema, for a bittersweet exchange between a man and a woman. The blaring sound system. The ice cream vendor is still open. You buy a coffee ice cream. You return to the bench. It's funny. Just a simple moment of aimless strolling, but at the same time, it is a moment that distinguished itself from every other that evening. You vaguely remember 8½, enough that some beveled images, some singsong phrases and their disenchanted psychology, set up a delectable dramatization, which suspends the coffee ice cream in a singular tonality.
With each lick, you savor the warm night. Real life is on the half-hidden screen, in black and white. In the anxious inflection of voices that don't truly manage to bring beings closer together. The loudspeakers attest to this melancholy truth without concession. We are always just outside; we are not in love. Real life is a show. We buy tickets in order to gather on carefully arranged chairs and be sad together. But, even so, there's another real life in which you savor a coffee ice cream while saying to yourself, This is good, this open air cinema. What's playing next week? Oh, a Woody Allen movie, that should be funny, apparently it's dubbed into Italian. In love stories, men and women yearn for each other, but, when it's a fine night, when the sadness of the cinema is good, you'll arrive early, you'll stay behind the fence, best of all no subtitles, just very quick words in Italian, very late Campo San Polo.
I'm doing the dishes . . .
I'm doing the dishes. From time to time, I lift my head and look through the window above the sink. The garden is still bare, the gray-green branches of the old quince tree spread their tentacles under a slightly mauve sky, as if a storm were approaching. On France Inter, a program on autistic children. A mother tells of the hell she went through with her daughter, the psychiatric hospital, the cell-like room, the electric shock treatments, and then death. Suddenly I'm embarrassed by my desire to write about good things.
The mother explains that she felt the need to write a book on this part of her life. She doesn't analyze the reasons that drove her there, doesn't talk of catharsis, of forgetting or remembering. What she experienced seems so far beyond all psychology.
"It's funny. I set out to write this book, and the only things that came back to me were the good times."
Ah yes. It's right at this moment. You sink into an armchair, and the sigh that escapes contains all your exhaustion. Before the hint of pleasure, it's the relieved acknowledgement of all the mixed tensions, of all the waiting, of all the small hypocrisies of social exchange, of all the annoyances. Yes, all that takes off in the bubble of a sigh. At last you are going to feel real, the entire body consenting, first stretching, then immediately beginning to curl up, searching for softness and resistance, abandon and support. Your neck stretches from left to right before sinking into bliss. Your back endlessly straightens and relaxes in turn, its form fitting itself to the armchair that waits to make you comfortable.
In bed, the body is forgotten, fades away, is engulfed. In an armchair, it's much more ambiguous: you want to completely relax without losing yourself. You don't fully succumb. You continually feel, you occupy the contours of the chair.
You are there, truly there, propped up in a little parenthesis. Behind you everything has vanished. Toward what lies ahead you feel benevolent. Of course you'll listen attentively to the words that are beginning to be spoken to you. But there must also be that infinitesimal moment when you don't hear any more. You nod in agreement, let your eyelids close, as if to postpone the moment when you'll have to speak yourself—for you are entirely absorbed by the silent conversation between your body and the armchair. Soon the pleasure of the sensation will be diluted in renewed mental activity. So you quietly steal those pure seconds during which time disappears. Just after the sigh you truly feel well, your whole body soothed in its deep shell. You exist in the absolute, without thoughts, without plans. You'll cross your legs and extend them into the warm happiness of immobility. You'll be refreshed and protected, present, distant, drifting off into the moment before sleep. At last!
I continue to approach Saint-Lazare . . .
I continue to approach Saint-Lazare, with feigned indifference, amid a discreet crowd where no one speaks. We are one: those who are still sleeping; those who board at Breval, and laugh too loud; those last to board at Mantes-la-Jolie, who have to resign themselves to standing up. Like the rest of us, I have lived my life at the end of the platform.
As a child, I boarded at the Louveciennes School. Sometimes on Thursdays my sister took me to Paris. Ah, the steep little path that climbed to the station! With her salary from Ipsienne, she treated me at a creperie on Rue Grégoire-de-Tours, or even at a restaurant at Place du Tertre—four hundred francs for a half-bottle of water, an extravagance. In the afternoon, a movie: How the West Was Won or The Alamo. Other Thursdays, I took the train with my mother. The platform at Louveciennes, still in the provinces, and then after Saint-Cloud you caught sight of the Eiffel Tower. The first floor of Printemps, all those towering blonde salesgirls. In the evening, pudding from Le Bras.
You offered me, like that, your heartIn waxed paperWith a label.
I already knew that we were perfectly compatible. Since then, life has passed, together.
Slowly I searched for the words. I put a lot of "I's" in my novels, which led me toward something else. The day came when I wanted to say on, "one." A book was born, which used only that pronoun, and this book changed my life. On. I propose to you to be together. Of course, January 22, 1970, is mine, as is the round pudding of Le Bras. Of course I continue to put a lot of I's in all the on's. But we have embarked, and much more as on than we would think. Like Zeno's arrow, we know at least half our time remains. An eternity to live here, in the rattling of a train slowing down. Paris Saint-Lazare, two kilometers.

NER 9F finale
22nd November 2016 Nigel Devereux Features, News
The 9F 2-10-0 was described as the best of BR's Standard steam designs. Robert Anderson outlines the history of the class and relates the story of a ride on the last steam-hauled ore train to Consett.
One of the modified Franco-Crosti boilered 9Fs, No. 92021, with smoke deflector added around the final chimney. It was the drifting smoke problem with the original 10 locomotives that necessitated the diversion to Wellingborough in December 1955 of Nos. 92060-92066, which had been earmarked for Tyne Dock. No. 92021 is looking in a very sorry state at Derby shed on April 24, 1960.
The 9F 2-10-0s have been hailed as the most successful of the 12 Standard classes of steam locomotive introduced to traffic on British Railways between 1951 and 1960. They were the last class to be built and some authors have gone so far as to describe them as one of the most outstanding British steam locomotives.
However, for some of the earlier class members their entry into service in 1954/55 was far from successful. It all kicked off in mid-January 1954 when the first of the class, No. 92000, was shown off to the technical press at its birthplace, Crewe Works. Almost immediately afterwards came the surprise announcement that all eight of this new untried and untested class were to be sent to the Western Region for use on the heavy Newport docks to Ebbw Vale iron ore trains – one of the most arduous freight workings on the region.
Eyeballs must have been rolling for it was well known that the WR was openly hostile to anything that was not built at Swindon – as witness its contempt for the 13 Crewe-built Britannia Pacifics sent there in 1951/52. The WR did things its own way and continued to do so right into the diesel era. One must wonder whether this business of sending the first 9Fs; Crewe-built as they were, to the WR, was an attempt by the newly formed British Transport Commission in the august halls of 222 Marylebone Road to exert some authority over this go it alone region.
Yet the plan backfired. The new locomotives immediately ran into trouble with regulators not being sensitive enough, causing uncontrollable slipping when starting away. Of course this was no good with a 600-ton train to take unaided up the valley with gradients as steep as 1-in-52 to Ebbw Vale steelworks, a distance of around 19 miles.
The problem was solved by fitting smaller regulator valves but, in the meantime, these first eight had spent several weeks or even months out of use while awaiting attention at Swindon works.

UFC 232 Relocating Due To Jon Jones Drug Test Result
By Alexander Cole
The UFC has to move their next event from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
Jon Jones was supposed to fight Alexander Gustafsson for the light-heavyweight championship at UFC 232 in Las Vegas next weekend. Thanks to a positive drug test though, it looks like Jones is no longer licensed to fight in the state of Nevada, which means the fight has to be moved to Los Angeles. The news was announced on SportsCenter by UFC president Dana White, according to ESPN.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) reported unusual findings in Jones' latest drug test, which is what caused the issue. The test showed trace amounts of the long-term M3 metabolite which Jones tested positive for back in July of 2017. It was that positive test result that stripped Jones of his light-heavyweight championship and gave him a 15-month suspension.
However, there is some good news here. The USADA had a follow-up investigation on the drug test and found that the substance found in his system was most likely leftover from his initial drug test in 2017.
Jones took to Twitter to explain how the USADA's findings prove he is innocent in all of this.
The USADA has explained to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Jones should be cleared to fight but according to Dana White, there simply isn't enough time to get Jones reinstated in Nevada.
"Nevada does not have the time to see us and go through a hearing to find out what California already knows," White said. "There's not enough time for Nevada to do this, so we're moving the event to California where the commission has already dealt with Jon Jones. They were the ones dealing with this and they have all the history with him."

It is necessary to widen defence knowledge of the people. According to the geographical conditions of the country, all the people should have defence outlook, and the defence power must be built with participation of the people. The people must have patriotic spirit and nationalistic spirit. Only when, they love the country, will they have keenness to defend the country. All must make utmost efforts for prevention of impacts of attempts to decline the spirit to protect the country, cause disunity among national brethren and weaken the united strength.
The Senior General stressed the need to emphasize prevention of any attempts to encroach on the defence power without carelessness.
The Tatmadaw members need to have same and correct outlooks and united strength. So, chiefs of armed forces in successive eras have built united strengths. The Tatmadaw created the path of multiparty democracy for the State. And, the Tatmadaw is striving for ceasing armed conflicts and carrying on peace processes. The commanders who control their respective military units must build their units to be good and control subordinates with spirits of commander and parent in a fair manner.

The Senior General urged them to take care of health measures for themselves as well as remaining officers, other ranks and families.

Proper lighting, good ventilation and hygienic practice can contribute to prevention of disease infection to some extent.
The Senior General urged them to take sports exercise and left necessary instructions on unity in the military units. At the local military hospital, the Senior General and party heard reports by the commandant of the hospital on brief history of the hospital, giving medical treatment, health care services of mobile medical specialist teams to the people and holding educative talks.
In response to the reports, the Senior General gave necessary instructions. Next, the Senior General cordially greeted and comforted the officers and other ranks receiving medical treatments at the hospital. After presenting foodstuffs to them, the Senior General viewed round the hospital.

Nirbhaya case: Activist writes to Smriti Irani to declare execution day as 'Rape Prevention Day'
New Delhi [India], Jan 16 (ANI): Yogita Bhayana founder of NGO PARI (People Against Rapes in India) on Thursday wrote a letter to Union Minister Smriti Irani, demanding to declare the day of execution of convicts of 2012 Delhi gang-rape case as the 'Rape Prevention Day'.
Bhayana in the letter said that on the day of execution, one daughter of India will get justice, however, there are many who long for the same.
"This decade has seen some of the heinous rape incidents, from Nirbhaya to Unnao to Kathua to many who couldn't make it to the news hour debates. Although, these incidents have brought one positive change." the letter said.
The letter said that the awareness created amongst the masses is contagious. We, the people of India, have united in the war against rapes in the country, with a vision to create a sensitive society so that every woman in India can live without fear.
"The goal is lofty and the road to victory is long, yet we cannot give up. The execution should not be seen as an end to a case but should mark a new era in India. Hence, I propose to declare the day as "Rape Prevention Day"," the letter added.
Bhayana said that such naming shall help every Indian to understand what Nirbhaya and her family had endured and reaffirmed their vow to the vision of a rape free India.
The activist also said that the execution day is no ordinary day as it shall end the ordeals of a mother who fought like a lioness to seek justice for her daughter.
This day shall bring hope to all those who had pinned their hopes on the apex court of the land to set a precedent against rapes in India. This day, hopefully, Nirbhaya, who could not live to see it, shall heave a sigh of relief in heavens above us. (ANI)

"Profit ? It's a dirty word."
-Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India
Those were indeed the words of Jawaharlal Nehru. Considerable hatred towards business and commerce later on became the nucleus of India's lacklustre economic performance. Immediately after independence, our policy makers majorly included people who preached and practiced the communist manifesto. Just to tell, GD Birla and Jamsetji Tata who were considered as Business Maharajas of that time were not even included in the construing the future India.
In the decade of 1930s, Nehru gave pompous speeches in Europe claiming that he could see a USSR's socialism as an utopian economy model; whereas, Japan's capitalist model as a cannibalistic philosophy of governance. However, in the present day Japan is not only a much robust economy than USSR, but it is also one of the strongest in the world. Japan has become the "ASIAN TIGER"; on the contrary, Kremlin is firmly controlled by KGB (The Economist).
The lack of foresight in choosing the correct philosophy of economic planning costed India at least a good 15 years in her history. Communism also killed the economy of West-Bengal. After independence, Bengal was endowed with clusters that made it the most preferable location for businesses in India. However, to Bengal's misery it was also endowed with pestiferous rule of the communist party. Communist party always had the trade unions as its strong lobby group. The uneasiness and regular rifts in Bengal's external environment drove the industries outside the state to another state (Maharashtra) that today contributes the maximum to Indian GDP.
With no efforts towards economic robustness in the periodical planning, India suffered continuous deficits in its Balance of Payment. There wasn't anyone who was acting as if they wanted "good" for Indian Economy. To some extent there were efforts made in 1970 with the devaluation of the Indian rupee. Initial results were good as India recorded her first BOP Surplus in 1971-72. India recorded her second and last surplus in the year 1976-77. The first transformational change in Indian Economy happened in 1991, when the IMF decided to aid Indian Economy by "Aid India" consortium package. It will be unfair, if Manmohan Singh weren't to be praised for the revolutionary change in the New Economic Policy. The former Indian Prime Minister played a masterstroke with periodic devaluation of Indian Rupee. Although, the devaluation did make exports a fascinating proposition, the government lacked institutional framework.
If you were to look at the economic model of any developed country today, it gradually phased away from primary sector towards manufacturing. However, UPA government decided to make India as an erratic economy. Without any rationale, we decided to become a service economy. Basically, we wanted to challenge the narrative of economic development with the only economy in the world that will gain its significance with a move from primary to the service sector. The same aberrant model followed by UPA is today taken up as case studies by top institutions for economics around the world as an asynchronous event.
India has really come out of years of poor economic planning; in fact, deplorable economic planning. Make in India is one such programme. Usually, countries need to maintain a balance in its BOP accounts. The current account is mostly in a deficit; its deficit is offset by the international forces of global financial markets. For instance, USA offsets is high deficit against China with high amount of capital investment made by people and institutions of China into financial markets of USA. However, India always lacked such a synchronised effort towards offsetting the deficits in trade. The focus of Make in India is to attract FDI from other countries into India. Therefore, if anyone tells you that Make in India is not being promoted in India is ascertaining a very important premise for the programme – Make in India needs to be advertised in international locations, but not in India. Indian government even hired Widen+ Kennedy, an American advertisement agency, to promote the lion outside India.
There has to be a sustained effort by the government towards enfranchising the economic forces in the country. Such economic liberation is clearly visible. Around the time of our independence, Winston Churchill quoted something about socialism. I wish that Nehru had acted on that quote – :
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
– Winston Churchill, The Prime Mister of Britain at the time of India's independence.
