Description of Securities Registered
Under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The authorized capital stock of Tompkins consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, which may be issued in series with such powers, designations and rights as may be established from time to time by our Board of Directors. As of February 18, 2020, there were 14,979,825 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Description of Common Stock
Each share of our common stock has the same relative rights as, and is identical in all respects to, each other share of our common stock. Our common stock is traded on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol "TMP." All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Transfer Company, 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New York, New York 10038.
The holders of Tompkins common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds therefor. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation permits the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with terms set by the Board, which terms may include the right to receive dividends ahead of the holders of common stock. Tompkins has no shares of preferred stock presently outstanding.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Tompkins, the holders of shares of Tompkins common stock will be entitled to receive, after payment of all the Company's debts and liabilities and after satisfaction of all liquidation preferences applicable to the preferred stock, all remaining assets of the Company available for distribution in cash or in kind.
The holders of the Company's common stock have one vote for each share held on any matter presented for consideration at a shareholder meeting. The holders of Tompkins common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
No Preemptive Rights; Redemption and Assessment
Holders of shares of our common stock will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that may be issued. Our common stock is not subject to redemption or any sinking fund and the outstanding shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
Securities Are Not Insured by the FDIC
Investments in our securities will not qualify as deposits or savings accounts and will not be insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency and are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Material Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and New York Law
General. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions designed to enhance the ability of our Board of Directors to deal with attempts to acquire control of the Company. These provisions, and the ability to set the voting rights, preferences and other terms of any series of preferred stock that may be issued, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeovers (which certain stockholders may deem to be in their best interest). To the extent that such takeover attempts are discouraged, temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock resulting from actual or rumored takeover attempts may be inhibited. These provisions also could discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even though such transaction may be favorable to the interests of stockholders, and could potentially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The following briefly summarizes protective provisions that are contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. This summary is necessarily general and is not intended to be a complete description of all the features and consequences of those provisions, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that any business combination that would result in the disposition of all or substantially all of our assets requires the affirmative vote of 80% of our outstanding common shares in the case of a business combination involving a person that is the beneficial owner of at least 20% of our common shares, unless (1) such business combination has been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, or (2) a fair price is offered for the Company's shares, the calculation of which is described in greater detail in Article VII of our Certificate of Incorporation. The foregoing provisions may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote.
Statutory Restrictions. New York's Business Corporation Law (the "BCL") restricts certain business combinations. The statute prohibits certain New York corporations from engaging in a merger or other business combination with a holder of 20% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock ("interested shareholder") for a period of five years following acquisition of the stock unless the merger or other business combination, or the acquisition of the stock, is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date of the stock acquisition. If the combination was not previously approved, the interested shareholder may effect a combination after the five-year period only if a majority of the shares not owned by the 20% shareholder vote in favor of the combination or the aggregate amount of the offer meets certain fair price criteria. The provisions of Section 912 of the BCL apply if and for so long as a New York corporation has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act unless the corporation opts out of the application of Section 912. We have not elected to opt out of these provisions of the BCL.
Omission of Cumulative Voting. The omission of cumulative voting from the Company's Certificate of Incorporation may be considered anti-takeover in nature. Cumulative voting entitles each stockholder to as many votes as equal the number of shares owned by him or her multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder may cast all these votes for one candidate or distribute them among any two or more candidates. Cumulative voting is optional under the BCL.
Advance Notice; No Action by Written Consent; Preferred Stock. The Company's Bylaws contain restrictions that may discourage other persons from attempting to acquire control of the Company, including, without limitation, prohibitions on shareholder action by written consent and advance notice requirements with respect to matters to be voted upon at all shareholders' meetings. In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The rights and preferences for any series of preferred stock may be set by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion and without stockholder approval, and the rights and preferences of any such preferred stock may be superior to those of the common stock and thus may adversely affect the rights of holders of the common stock.
The overall effect of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw provisions described above may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that some stockholders might view to be in their best interests as the offer might include a premium over the market price of the Company's common stock at that time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting the Company's current management in retaining its position and place it in a better position to resist changes which some shareholders may want to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company's business. In addition, the existence of Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans for certain executive officers (which plans include change in control provisions) could add to the cost of a takeover of the Company. There are no other anti-takeover provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, and there are no present plans to adopt other anti-takeover provisions.
Description of Preferred Stock
As of the date of this report, 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, are authorized, of which none are issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of one or more additional series of preferred stock and may establish and designate series and the number of shares and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the respective series of the preferred stock.
The terms of particular series of preferred stock may differ, among other things, in:
designation;
number of shares that constitute the series;
dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative), the dividend rate, or the method of calculating the dividend rate;
dividend periods, or the method of calculating the dividend periods;
redemption provisions, including whether, on what terms and at what prices the shares will be subject to redemption at our option and whether a sinking fund will be established;
voting rights;
preferences and rights upon liquidation or winding up;
whether and on what terms the shares will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class, series or security of ours or any other corporation or any other property (including whether the conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, the period during which conversion or exchange may occur, the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and the circumstances or manner in which the amount of common or preferred stock or other securities issuable upon conversion or exchange may be adjusted);
for preferred stock convertible into our common stock, the number of shares of common stock to be reserved in connection with, and issued upon conversion of, the preferred stock (including whether the conversion or exchange is mandatory, the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and the circumstances or manner in which the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion or exchange may be adjusted) at the option of the holder or our option and the period during which conversion or exchange may occur; and
other rights and privileges and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of those rights or privileges.
The shares of preferred stock, when issued and sold, will be fully paid and nonassessable.
Dividends will be payable when and as declared by our Board of Directors at such time or times as it elects, out of funds legally available therefor,and no holder of preferred stock will have any right to receive any dividend unless and until that dividend has been declared by the Board of Directors. The stated annual dividend may be declared and paid in increments during each calendar year and may or may not be cumulative.
In the event that dividends are declared on the preferred stock, the Board of Directors or the committee will fix a record date for any such payment of dividends, which will be paid on the preferred stock to the holders of record on that record date.
The shares of any future series of preferred stock may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class, series or security of the Company, upon such terms as our Board of Directors may establish (including whether the conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, the period during which conversion or exchange may occur, the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and the circumstances or manner in which the amount of common or preferred stock or other securities issuable upon conversion or exchange may be adjusted).
Our Board of Directors also will determine whether, and on what terms, shares of any future series of preferred stock will be subject to mandatory redemption or a sinking fund provision, as well as whether, and on what terms, including the date on or after which redemption may occur, we may redeem shares of a series of the preferred stock.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of preferred stock will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions out of the Company's assets available for distribution to shareholders. Any such liquidating distribution may be required to be made before any distribution is made to holders of any class or series of capital stock that ranks junior to the preferred stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, including our common stock.
Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors, holders of the preferred stock will not have any voting rights except as from time to time required by law. Our Board of Directors may provide that certain actions may not be taken without the consent of the holders of at least a specified percentage of the shares of preferred stock, or of a particular series of the preferred stock, outstanding at the time, voting together as one class.

Nick Benton's Gay Science No. 66: Compassionate Gay Genius Vs. Art as Merely Habit
Oscar Wilde's inspired paean to the life and message of Christ in his prison-authored "De Profundis" (1897) – identifying with Christ's universal love, himself (and thereby, as implied, from the standpoint of his identity as a gay man) – sat well with no one.
Wilde's admirers were dismayed by the deeply spiritual nature of the work, attributing it to the degradation of prison life, and church leaders had even less interest in his unconventional, radically humanitarian appreciation of Christ.
But the work was a fuller exposition of themes Wilde presented in earlier works, especially "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1890), where he drew a sharp distinction between the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure for its own sake and true happiness. In "De Profundis," he wrote about "the note of doom that like a purple thread runs through the texture of 'Dorian Gray.'"
Embracing such a perspective on life, including his own gay life, Wilde remained a happy soul until his untimely death, contrary to the popular view that, after prison, he was penniless, depressed and doomed to ignominy in Paris. His close lifelong friend, Robbie Ross, insisted it was quite otherwise, and it was Ross who saw to the publication of "De Profundis" following Wilde's death.
If flamboyant and filled with wry and ironic humor, Wilde's life and work was completely contrary in its sentiment and intent to the outrageous misrepresentation by Neil McKenna in his book, "The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde" (2005). McKenna dared to falsely assert that Wilde wrote "Dorian Gray" to seduce readers into the hedonistic excesses of the London underworld.
But then, postmodernists have a habit of shamelessly recasting historical figures in their own anarcho-hedonist image, eagerly dragging the legacies of great women and men through the mud with uncommon zeal.
So it is with British playwright Alan Bennett (who penned "The History Boys"), who performed a hatchet job on three important gay creative giants, poet W. H. Auden, composer Benjamin Britten and author Thomas Mann, in his recent work, "The Habit of Art" (2009).
To Bennett, there exists no nobility or virtue in gay sensibility. He recognizes only thinly-veiled social constraints on vulgar hedonistic, predatory lust. Whatever it may suggest about his own gay life, such a conviction reveals a jaded inability to appreciate how creative genius can focus the compassionate gay impulse on great, loving achievements, including the uplifting and edification of objects of affection, rather than their defilement.
Bennett's comedy, "The Habit of Art," details the lives and careers of its main characters Auden and Britten (and the oft-referenced Mann). But it treats their interest in adolescents as simply open or barely repressed craving, rather than a creator's love of their potential.
Thus, to Bennett's mind, the subjects of their interest are, just beneath the surface, objects to be devoured by lust, rather than recipients of a gay love whose creative energy strives to free them from the stranglehold of male-dominated straight society, and to transform them into loving creative individuals, in turn.
In Bennett's play, the circumstances surround a fictional meeting between Auden and Britten in the early 1970s (the two had, in fact, briefly collaborated 30 years earlier). Britten seeks Auden's validation for his desire to use Mann's novella, "Death in Venice" (1912) , as the subject of an opera. "Death in Venice" had been written by Mann as an autobiographical account of being smitten by an adolescent boy while on vacation in Venice.
Britten, indeed, composed such an opera before dying in 1976. But the dialogue in Bennett's play surrounds Britten's misgivings about how his widely-rumored interest in adolescents – despite having a lifelong lover in baritone Peter Pears – might impact the receipt of an opera on the "Death in Venice" theme.
In Bennett's play, Auden is characterized as a jaded old queen who hires rent boys to show up promptly at a given hour for dispassionate servicing. Auden, indeed, had a famous gay appetite that included cavorting with Christopher Isherwood in Berlin in the 1920s, as documented by Isherwood in his memoir, "Christopher and His Kind," written following Auden's death in 1976. (Auden used his enormous talent to pen the powerfully erotic poem, "The Platonic Blow," that became public against his will.)
But the greatest slander of "The Habit of Art" is contained in its title, that creative geniuses consider their work matters of mere "habit."
The rent boy in "The Habit of Art" sounds off at the end, demanding of Auden, "When do we figure and get to say our say?…When do we take our bow?…We… the fodder of art? … I want to know."
Auden sighs, "We can't help you."
In the play, that was pretty much the sum of it. In reality, as a compassionate, loving gay genius, the entire purpose of Auden's life and creative work was, actually, to answer precisely the opposite.

BMW Z4 M40i: Z to the core and roadster to the brim
2,998CC 340BHP 500NM
BMW,Cars
Roadsters… ah… what cars. Driving a roadster is perhaps the closest you can come to feel like riding a motorcycle but with four wheels and a steering wheel. The wind in your hair, the organic oneness with nature, and the gasps on the road are part and parcel of the roadster experience. And while there are many cars that try to pull off this 'sacred' act, not many come close to the OG- Z. BMW Z. In this particular case, the new BMW Z4 M40i that we recently got to drive.
That is a tall claim but the stature and the legacy of the BMW Z4 is more than enough to stake that claim. How many times have you seen 007 go topless (in perhaps the only way it matters to us petrolheads)? Not many. And the few times it has happened, Bond found himself at the helm of a BMW Z. The Z3 in Golden Eye (1995) and the Z8 in The World is Not Enough (1999).
Heck, even our desi Greek God found himself driving one in probably one of the most iconic songs of the 2000s. In the blockbuster film that we shall not name, the better Hrithik Roshan drove a BMW Z3. I think just these 2 examples are enough to ascertain the popularity that the BMW Z series has been enjoying for a while. Now before we start to talk about the latest iteration, let's talk a little bit about what the Z is all about.
Starting with the name itself, Z in the name stands for Zukunft which is German for the future. Pretty self-explanatory. If it isn't, Google BMW Z1 and you'll know. That is a car from 1989, mind you. It was then followed by the aforementioned Z3 which we believe has been the most popular Z. Of course, there was the Z8 which is arguably the best looking Z, but it was a limited run. In fact, it was touted to be just a styling exercise but the foundation laid by the Z3 and the fresh design of the Z8 meant that the demand was high and the propeller Marquee had to oblige.
And finally, the BMW Z4 came out in 2002 and since then, there have been 3 generations of the car with the 3rd being the latest and the one that we got to drive. We have driven the Z4 quite a few times before both, in India and abroad. We've always been fond of the German seriousness mixed with the roadster playfulness and the overall approach of the car. Not a lot of things in this world can evoke that guttural feeling of happiness. Not a lot of people even know that feeling but take the Z4 for a drive on some scenic routes and you'll know exactly what we are on about.
The new Z4 was a long time coming and it sure took its own time. It seems like a lot if you consider the fact that it has been in development (jointly with Toyota) since 2013! But then, the kind of brand that BMW is and the level at which they play, it is justifiable that they spent a good amount of time on a car that is supposed to carry forward the Z legacy.
Coming to the visuals, the usual identifiers of the Z4s of the past have been the long snout, a short tail, sharp-ish headlamps, slightly rounded lines and, of course, the kidney grille. The latest Z4, especially the Z4 M40i, is perhaps the most significant overhaul of the design across all the prior generations. The Z4 of the today is more angular, more aggressive in both stance and design elements, and quite a bit more purposeful looking.
The easiest change to spot is the kidney grille which instead of vertical bars from the past, uses a mesh design. There are sharp style lines everywhere, from the hood to the sides and all the way to the back. It is a much busier looking design which, since executed tastefully, works in expressing the aggression that the new Z4 supposedly flaunts.
The highbrow headlight with beautiful DRLs complement the sporty front bumper very well and with the top down, the Z4 M40i looks the most like a supercar among its predecessors. The roof this time around is a retractable soft-top instead of a hardtop. And since it is black, it gels with the 'Frozen Orange' M40i that we got to drive.
Having a retractable hardtop may have its own advantages, but none trumps a lower centre of gravity and less weight. Form and function come together and the only place where form seemed to have jumped off a cliff is at the rear. Yes, it retains the iconic Z silhouette but it could have been done a little differently.
Personally, we really like how the design flows and more importantly, it has a lot of potential. In the past, BMW has used the Z4 as a base to make GT competition cars and a big-a** spoiler on the rear and a wide-body kit is the potential we're talking about. It'll probably be the sickest-looking Z competition car ever made!
Moving on to the performance, because if cars only had to look good, they would probably stay in the concept stage and we'd see a new one every day. They have to go like that too. In the case of the Z4, we have the 'basic' sDrive variants and their 'basicness' shows as well. What we drove, the M40i is the cream in both looks and, of course, performance.
Before we even start this bit we'll have you know that the sDrive variants are roadsters, lookers, and have decent performance so if you want your roadster for flaunting, that's the direction you head towards and save some money in the process. If you're serious about driving… serious driving the M40i is what you want. The 'M' explains a lot but we'll try our best as well.
Let's talk engine first. The BMW Z4 M40i is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo inline 6. It is good for 500 Nm of torque which is very well spread between 1,600 rpm and 4,500 rpm where the peak is. The peak power, 340 bhp of it, arrives between 5,000-6,500 rpm. That is lofty for a car but anyway, the car can rev up to 7,000 rpm, a spot you'd like to visit very often because of the aural kick. And because you're in a roadster, it is even better.
The power and torque figure are ample for a car of this class and it shows in the real world. The Z4 M40i is capable of a lot of fun if you want it that way. BMW claims 0-100 km/h in 4.5s for this car. We neither contested that claim nor tested it. We just had fun. It accelerates briskly and the 8-Speed Steptronic Sport transmission is more than enough to keep the fun going.
The way this engine has been tuned, it seems BMW tried to give you the best of both worlds where you get actual drivability because of the torque available from just 1,600 rpm and then some rev-bombing fun as high in the rev-range is where you find the proverbial 'Sheer Driving Pleasure'.
Rear-wheel drive means that there's a lot of power being transmitted to just one set of wheels so you may have to hold those horses back a hair so as to avoid seeing the tail of the car. It can be done voluntarily but we are not sure if we have the roads for that. At any rate, the engine is more than capable of delivering some tail-out fun in addition to actual, civil, leisurely driving.
We've come across quite a few people who were not big fans of the multi-faceted engine and took the comparison straight to an M2. So, a somewhat similar engine (with generational differences probably) powers the M2 so you know that the engine is capable of producing power north of 400 horses.
The M40i makes less but honestly, we've driven an M4 so we can tell you how focussed those cars are. The Z4 M40i is not a full-fledged M but is garnished with some M performance bits to just enhance the experience a little more. It is not a racetrack demon and it is not supposed to be. What you expect a vehicle to do and what it is meant to do may never coincide unless you try to understand and adapt. Once you do, the Z4 is nearly flawless.
Onwards to handling then. We consider ourselves lucky in the sense that we got to drive the Z4 of the prior generation in the Alps and this one in the ghats of Maharashtra. Both are places where you can experience the engineering that goes into making these cars so much fun to drive. And the new Z4 is undoubtedly the better one. Simply put, it is down to the lighter weight and lower CoG because of the soft top and the M-Performance parts as well, of course!
We found the steering of the Z4 to be pretty well sorted. It is quick and it is easy to point the front of the car wherever you want to go and the Z4 tracks the line of your choice effortlessly… well, almost. It is not all nervous and darty, it is simply responsive.
We just wish it was a little more communicative but we are of the opinion that the electrification (not the powertrain) will keep chipping off at the organic driving experience. Personally, we'd take more safety over that any day but still, a car that looks this good and with an engine that good, one would want it to talk a little more.
The suspension system is where you fall in love with it. It firms up and eases down depending on the modes and the driving style and it works surprisingly well both ways. In flowing corners, it is taut and devoid of that shaky feeling and on bad roads, it is so supple that it is perplexing. Those who compared this car to the M2, show it some bad roads and you'll know what you want. Brakes come from the M-performance bin and therefore, there is nothing more you could ask for. You ask and it stops.
So the Z4 M40i is much better in terms of engine and dynamics when compared to the older Zs but even in general, this is a very enjoyable and a very approachable sports car. Accelerates well, sounds awesome, is composed during spirited rides and keeps you composed on less-than-ideal surfaces. There's not a lot more you could ask for but BMW will give it to you regardless.
What we mean by that is the loaded interior. Let's start with the most obvious bit, the roof. With the top down, the wind management inside the cabin is surprisingly good and despite being 'open' to nature, you are fairly well cocooned. The innards are spacious as well. We feel that the Z4 M40i will be fairly accommodating for people up to 6-feet tall beyond which things may get a little stuffy.
Predictably, with the roof down, things are even better inside the cabin and luxury car connoisseurs will not find a lot to complain about. We aren't that and we prefer to keep the top down. Another good bit is that since it isn't a hardtop, it does not eat into the boot space which is already pretty generous. The fabric roof folds into its own compartment and you have all of the 281 litres of the boot space to yourself. That private compartment for the roof is perhaps the reason for the slightly odd rear.
Moving on, the rest of the cabin, from the dash to the seats are also typical BMW. What we particularly liked is that the whole cabin feels bespoke to the Z. It isn't your typical parts bin salvage job. We are hard workers and we like hard work. And there's a lot that has gone on in here.
And finally, we have the iDrive system which is exactly the electrification we referred to earlier. A system with two screens (one for the instrument and one touchscreen for car controls) is what occupies the dash and it is beautiful to look at and intuitive to deal with. It may take a while though because the plethora of features it boasts of are not for impatient ones. Though a regular speedo and tacho with actual needles would have been more… full of feeling. We miss analogue stuff sometimes.
And hey, let's not forget the 12-speaker Harman Kardon speaker setup. If you aren't driving it like a sports car and there's no engine noise to giggle to, the sound system is enough for the best possible (with an open-top) experience of your favourite songs. We recommend Kurt Cobain singing the Nirvana song- The Man Who Sold The World… I searched for form and land… For years and years, I roamed…
Anyway, so there you have it, folks. The lowdown of the Z4 M40i. But you know what, there's something that we'd like to put out there. Many people have compared the Z4 to the M2 because of similar engines and whatnot without understanding the purpose of each car. The Z4 may not beat the M2 on the racetrack but take them both out for a leisurely drive in mixed conditions and let us know which one you enjoyed more.
Another 'very popular' comparison is with the new Supra and why not, the platform is the same after all. Let us tell you this, the Supra was one of the spearheads of the Tuner culture or the Japanese sports car culture. And invariably, the new one also follows the same ethos and despite the shared platform, these are monumentally different cars in terms of the experience. Supra is a car that is more akin to its own culture ie Japan's tuner culture and the Z4 more akin to its own European roots. You catch our drift… or should we say Tokyo Drift? In conclusion, a lot of people say that the Z4 is no Supra and we agree. But the Supra is no Z4 either and if even if you don't concur, take a test ride you'll know what we're on about.

[ASEAN-Korea summit] KT to support AI-driven transformation of ASEAN countries
By Song Su-hyun
Published : Nov 26, 2019 - 17:27 Updated : Nov 27, 2019 - 17:20
KT, one of South Korea's leading mobile carriers, said Tuesday it is preparing solutions to support the artificial intelligence-driven transformation of ASEAN countries based on its high-tech capabilities.
The company is currently working to build AI-enabled hotels in various Southeast Asian countries including the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. It also plans to introduce 5G AI factory and autonomous driving solutions that will facilitate the region's transformation.
KT was the first in the world to commercialize 5G services in April this year, after successfully showcasing the technology during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. More recently on Oct. 30, it declared its vision to transform into a 5G-based AI company.
Including South Korean President Moon Jae-in (right), the leaders of ASEAN countries look at GiGA Genie hologram service at KT's booth at BEXCO in Busan on Tuesday. (KT)
During the three-day ASEAN-Republic of Korea Summit in Busan this week, the company showcased its 5G-run manufacturing cloud solutions, smart factory platform and autonomous driving solutions to leaders from ASEAN nations.
At a virtual manufacturing site installed at Bexco, the mobile carrier demonstrated how a worker can remotely control operations of a manufacturing line of a plant located in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, in real time through its 5G network.
The solution is dubbed Digital Twin as the two different spaces operate in identical moves.
In order to financially enable small and medium-size firms to establish such a system, KT will offer a 5G-based cloud service customized for manufacturers, according to the company.
KT showcases its smart factory platform in its booth at Bexco on Monday. (KT)
"The 5G cloud service will help manufacturers reduce the burden of establishing high-spec servers, managing immense data from factories and adopting analytical solutions," a company official said.
KT also boasted its collaborative robot Cobot and smart factory platform Factory Makers. Connected with the 5G network, Cobot operates as it receives data from the Factory Makers. The factory platform is designed to not only collect manufacturing data on a real-time basis, but also monitors the manufacturing process 24/7, according to KT.
The platform will be further developed with higher-level AI and big data technologies to make it possible to detect bottlenecks in the process or defects in products, the firm said.
"KT will contribute to expanding smart factories across the Asian region with its outstanding 5G and AI technologies," said KT Vice President Lee Yong-gyu.
In collaboration with Hyundai Rotem, the company also showcased its autonomous driving solution.
The two companies, for the first time, demonstrated autonomous driving of HR-Sherpa -- an unmanned vehicle for industrial purposes like logistics, patrolling and remote control of construction sites -- at an outdoor square of Bexco. Connected to the KT 5G network, the vehicle completed various tasks as it was remotely controlled.
"Showcasing our autonomous driving technology was very meaningful considering that the ASEAN leaders highly recognized KT's 5G technology and network operation capabilities," said another official.
KT officially launched the world's first nationwide commercial 5G wireless network in Korea in April, ushering in a new era of superfast, low-latency and ultrareliable connectivity for consumers and businesses.
The mobile carrier launched its business-to-business 5G network service in December 2018 and business-to-consumer network in April.
Under Chairman Hwan Chang-gyu, KT has made pioneering efforts to move forward the commercialization of 5G.
Hwang first envisioned the world's first and best commercial 5G network at the MWC 2017.
"KT is helping the leaders of ASEAN countries better understand 5G technologies and network management know-how," a PR manager said.
Last month, Manuel V. Pangilinan, CEO of PLDT, the largest mobile carrier in the Philippines, visited KT's exhibition center FUTURE-IN to learn about 5G.
Amid the enhancing ties between Korea and ASEAN countries, KT plans to seek more aggressive expansion in the region.
In October, the company signed a contract with Hong Kong-based hotel IPTV service provider MVI to provide its AI hotel platform Genie Cube.
MVI provides its service for hotels in 18 Asian and Middle East countries.
KT's AI platform GiGA Genie will be incorporated in hotels in the Philippines first and then expand to other ASEAN countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Surely It Must Be April Fools....
When I heard this story today I thought it surely must be an April Fools story as the building has been designed and checked by numerous independent Engineers and meets all the building codes... maybe a psychiatrist could help with the motion sickness http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/37/1/42
Civil servants complain new building making them seasick
Some employees with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Charlottetown say movement in the floors of the new building where they work is giving them motion sickness.
'Some employees were finding it throwing off their balance a little bit.'— Ian LeClair, health and safety committee, DVA
The offices are leased space in the new headquarters of P.E.I. developer APM, on the Lower Malpeque Road in the north of the city. Engineers have confirmed the building is safe, and aren't sure what to do about the complaints.
"If you jump close to [a] workstation you can see the monitor give a little shake, that should be fairly solid," Ian LeClair, who is with the workplace health and safety committee for Veterans Affairs, told CBC News.
LeClair doesn't work in the second-floor offices, and hasn't felt the floor move himself. Another member of the committee who does work in the building was told by DVA not to give an interview.
At least half a dozen of 100 IT workers in the building have complained.
"Some employees were finding it throwing off their balance a little bit, to get the sensation of seasickness or motion sickness," said LeClair.
'Not a structural problem'
No one is worried about the safety of the building, since it has passed a city inspection and engineers with the federal Department of Public Works say it meets the national building code.
Kerry Taylor of Public Works said it's natural for steel buildings to have a certain amount of flex.
"There's no defined deficiency," said Taylor.
"There's some operating issues with the people that are in the building, so we'll have to work with them and do a more thorough investigation to define exactly what is the problem. It's not a structural problem with the building."
APM owner Tim Banks would not do an interview on this story but did reiterate that there are no structural problems with the building.
Taylor won't speculate what might eventually be done to appease the workers. The health and safety committee is expecting a report from government at its next meeting.

This political leaflet is from the 1899 Oldham by-election. It was here that a young man named Winston Churchill stood as a candidate for the first time and began an astonishing political career. Churchill and his fellow Conservative candidate lost this by-election but a year later Winston returned from his adventures as a war correspondent in South Africa to win the Oldham seat at a general election dominated by the issue of the Boer War.
A blue plaque outside Oldham Town Hall now marks the spot where Churchill made his first speech as an MP in 1900. However his subsequent defection to the Liberal Party caused much ill-feeling in the town and ensured that he did not attempt to defend his seat at the next general election.

Possible Pixel 3 Lite photos leak, fake or real?
Rumours of possible Pixel 3 Lite photos leak, fake or real?
There's been some rumours and "leaks" suggesting Google is making a budget variant of its flagship smartphone, the Pixel 3. This leaked phone appeared on Russian blogs, Wysla and Rozetked, with codename "Sargo".
Though Google itself hasn't made any announcement concerning a third Pixel 3 smartphone. But from the photos, the phone may seem convincing though. It has some pretty similarities with the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.
The size of the supposed Pixel 3 Lite is bigger than the iPhone XS and nearly the same height as iPhone XR. The phone has an headphone jack present. It is believed to be carrying 4GB of RAM with a base storage option of 32GB.
According to Wysla, the Pixel 3 Lite won't have a microSD card slot for expandable storage. However, it is believed that the Pixel 3 Lite will have the same cameras that are found on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It also features a 5.56-inch, 2220 x 1080-pixel IPS display and a plastic case. It possesses less powerful processor than the first two – a Snapdragon 670 processor. We believe the Pixel 3 Lite might be cheaper than the other flagship Pixels.
One thing that brings doubt about the phone is a "C" instead of the regular "G" representing "Google" on the other pixel phones. But some have said that may be a way of Google concealing the phone's identity until it finally gets launched.
You can check out rest of the photos on Wysla.

Apple has released an open beta version of iOS 14 for all users
Less than a month after the announcement of the iOS 14 operating system, Apple introduced a public beta version of the firmware for the iPhone. All owners of compatible devices can test the new assembly today, and installing it will take a little longer than a traditional system software update.
A preliminary version of iOS 14 is available for iPhone 6s and newer branded smartphones. To install the operating system, using the standard Safari browser, go to the Apple Beta program website, log in using your Apple ID account and register your device. After that, you will need to download the profile for testing in the "Profile Installation" section and apply it in the "Settings - General - Uploaded Profiles" menu. The corresponding system image upon completion of the procedure will be available for download in the "Software Update" section.
Among the key differences between iOS 14 and previous versions of the mobile operating system are the appearance of widgets on the home screen, the ability to select the default browser and email client, the authorization feature on websites using biometrics, improved anti-tracking for Safari, the new Siri assistant interface, and "anti-spyware" clipboard notifications and other useful features. It is worth noting that the stable operation of the beta version is not guaranteed. Before installing it, users are advised to make a backup copy of the data in case the smartphone rolls back to the previous firmware version.

Atul Kochhar was the first Indian chef to be awarded a coveted Michelin star in Britain. Born in Jamshedpur, eastern India, he made his name in London at the Tamarind restaurant before leaving to set up his own establishment, Benares, in London's Berkeley Square. Following in the footsteps of Gary Rhodes and Marco Pierre White, Atul has taken his cuisine afloat with P&O Cruises. He will have his own restaurant on board the new ship Azura when it joins the P&O fleet in April.
I'm known for offering modern Indian cuisine with a British twist - and this is what I will be concentrating on in my new restaurant on board Azura. The star attraction of my menu, of course, will be chicken tikka masala. It has become Britain's favourite dish, so it has to be the highlight. But I'll be doing it in my way.
The dish that we know in Britain actually comes from a classic Indian recipe, murgh makhani, known as buttered chicken. We do it in a much more elaborate way, with a piece of breast and leg, marinated and flash-cooked in a tandoor clay oven - it comes out very well.
Other dishes on the menu will include traditional chicken biryani. Also, to show how the cuisine has developed, I will be serving a slow-cooked lamb shoulder which is kept in the oven for 24 hours. It is cooked in its own jus, and rather than served with the usual accompaniment of sag aloo, I'll be offering spinach and potato gnocchi.
Other classical Indian dishes will get a twist, making them more modern. Tandoori chicken, for example, will be flashed in the tandoor then finished in a water bath to get a really succulent taste.
What attracted me to working with P&O Cruises was the fact there will be a real kitchen on board. I've had several offers from airlines to do in-flight catering but that really doesn't appeal. A big supercruise ship is a completely different proposition.
Gary Rhodes, who also has developed onboard restaurants with P&O, is a good friend, so I knew what to expect.
After receiving the offer I decided to take a cruise for myself. I went to Norway on Ventura and really enjoyed the experience. They allowed me to cook on the ship, which was a great learning opportunity, and from that point I knew I had to take up P&O's offer. It really is a dream come true for me.
Travelling on Ventura, I realised how strong the links are between P&O and India. There have always been lots of Indians working on P&O ships - it's a longstanding tradition - and that is still the case, with many employed in the kitchens, which was nice to see.
The logistics of serving so many people at one time on a ship is mind-blowing. When you are catering on that scale, you need to be a Super Planner.
I went to eat at Marco Pierre White's restaurant on Ventura, which was very impressive.
I admire and respect Marco hugely - he's the shining star of our culinary world and it is great that chefs of his and Gary's calibre have embraced the idea of working on a cruise ship. I'm sure many more well-known chefs will be working with cruise companies in the future.
It's also great that P&O has recognised that customers have become far more sophisticated in their tastes and increasingly are looking for something special when they dine out. You only have to visit your local supermarket and see not only the huge range of Indian spices available, but also products from places such as Morocco and Malaysia, to realise that people are keen to try new things, including traditional dishes that are cooked in new, exciting ways.
My restaurant Sindhu on Azura will be divided into two areas. There will be an all-day bar with 60 covers that will offer Indian-style tapas - street food, as it were. The main dining room will have 120 covers and will be open for dinner only. The cover charge will be about £10 to £15 per head. I want it to be easily affordable - passengers should consider the Sindhu as their 'local Indian' on board ship.
Azura is an amazing undertaking: there will be many places to eat including the Glass House, a restaurant and wine bar by the sommelier and The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine wine critic Olly Smith.
The ship will be able to accommodate more than 3,000 passengers and there will be an open-air cinema, a gym, sauna and spa, and three pools. It's fantastic.
I have travelled a great deal and especially liked visiting Japan, Thailand and Singapore. I don't go back to India for holidays - that's somewhere where I go for family and work reasons. My mum lives in Delhi and the family comes from a farming community in the Punjab - the farm was always at the heart of everything as I grew up.
For holidays, I like idyllic places where I can just lie down and relax. My favourite destination at the moment is Greece. I think there are many similarities between Greece and India, especially the fact that both nationalities are very noisy!
But Greek food is quite different: they have their own herbs and spices and I'd really like to get into Greek cooking. I tell my wife that when we retire, I'd like to end up in Greece. I would feel at home there.
P&O (www.pocruises.co.uk, 0845 3555 333) offers a seven-night cruise aboard Azura from £749pp full-board. It departs Southampton on July 16 with visits to Dublin, Cobh, Bilbao and Brest.

Located in Atlanta, the two-story, two-bedroom house was assembled from 87 cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels that provide both structure and interior surfacing.
A recent Metropolis Think Tank panel, hosted at Perkins+Will's Atlanta office, fleshed out how architects might take better account of a project's stakeholders, especially those who aren't paying for it.
The facade of flooring company Interface's new HQ doesn't just symbolize biophilia: It mimics the dappled light created by a forest canopy.
While a previous generation condemned the joining of architecture and development in a single figure, few young architects are unpersuaded by the monumental products of Portman's efforts.
We speak with Ryan Gravel to understand why the urban planner is leaving the project that has been his life's work for almost two decades.


Please provide 24 hours' notice for cancellations to avoid being charged for full payment of session.
I work full time. Are there weekend and evening appointments available?
Yes, I offer weekend and evening appointments. Also, for the first appointment, I can usually accommodate meeting with you within 24 to 48 hours.
Do you offer phone or Internet counseling?
Yes. While face-to-face meetings are preferred, life happens and can sometimes prevent face-to-face time. Phone and online sessions, via Skype or iChat, Facetime, etc., are available.
Do you accept private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid?
I am considered an "out-of-network provider" for insurance purposes, which means that clients can submit my bills to their insurance provider for reimbursement. Managed care insurance plans can often create more problems than solutions for most clients, including threatened confidentiality, controlled fees and delayed healing. At times, particular plans do not allow for the best therapeutic interventions, dictating the entire process of counseling and limiting the much needed help that a client is seeking. All of this happens at the expense of the client. Therefore, I have decided that staying away from the control of managed care is best, and I will work with you to see that your insurance carrier reimburses you. If you have insurance that provides coverage for mental health services, I will help you receive the maximum allowable benefit. I can provide clients an industry standard receipt for services to submit for any possible reimbursement. Please check with your provider to determine eligibility, coverage and reimbursement arrangements.
I occasionally reduce my fee for clients who cannot afford the full fee. If you are in this category, please ask me about this option. Given the complexity of psychological evaluations, I would be happy to discuss your needs on the phone or in person in order to give you an idea of the amount of time and the costs associated with the process. My practice accepts checks, cash or credit cards.
Counseling can be a highly rewarding investment, but it is often difficult or uncomfortable as we face the issues we have been avoiding. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long.
How long will it be before I get an appointment?
Schedule permitting, I will do my best to see you for a first appointment within 48 hours.
Like any great thing in life, counseling takes commitment and effort. My therapeutic goal is to support you as you gain the tools you need to choose the reward of the extraordinary over the comfort of the ordinary. Therapy is a unique process for each person, couple and family, so there is no predetermined time frame that works for everyone. Some may need immediate help and support in a crisis situation, and once we have worked to resolve the initial crisis, you may choose to stop meeting. For others, therapy can be wide-ranging exploration of self and identity, which can be a long-term journey. I will consistently check in with you to assess your needs and to make sure our work is meaningful.
Yes, absolutely. Information you provide is never released to anyone without your express written consent, with exception to what is mandated or permitted to report per the HIPAA Privacy Standard and/or laws of the state of Florida.
What kind of counseling do you offer?
Individual, couples and family counseling for children, adolescents and adults.
Individual therapy can allow you to set aside a special time each week to explore aspects of your personal life that you think might be improved. It is a time to focus only on the self — "me time," in the truest sense — and is one of the most important ways to care for yourself.
When an individual seeks therapy, I ask what precipitated their call to me and what events led up to seeking support. It is important to determine what is going on in your life and what obstacles you are dealing with. Additionally, I will look at your history, upbringing, relationship with your parents and siblings and whether there was or is any alcohol or substance abuse in your family. This can help me understands patterns and coping mechanisms that you may have learned throughout your life and the impact of the environment you were raised in.
In sessions, I blend traditional talk therapy with other therapeutic models, such as somatic experiencing, imagery, walk and talk therapy, mindfulness and EMDR. Together, we will develop your individualized therapy plan in a collaborative manner. Counseling can address any issue that you might feel is problematic in your personal life.
Family counseling is an ideal option for members of a family who want to work on improving their relationships and resolving problematic issues. It is uniquely beneficial because it provides all members a chance to voice their thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing environment facilitated by a therapist.
Couples who come to counseling show a strong desire to work together and to improve their relationship. Each couple is unique, and my role as a counselor is to help you and your partner chart and navigate a course you design, working toward the relationship you desire. I offer couples counseling to couples of all kinds, both married and in relationships of any sexual preference. I also offer individualized premarital therapy sessions.
Each individual, couple and family has their own unique way of relating. During our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I'm a very curious person, so I ask a lot of questions. Sometimes just by answering these questions, you can begin to see things in a different way. Mostly, we'll just talk about what you are experiencing right now. Then, we'll set some goals for what you would like to work on in therapy. We will discuss your immediate concerns, symptoms, history, and scheduling of future sessions. During this session, we will begin to identify the most important areas of focus for treatment and how we might work together to help you reach your goals. When working with minors, I generally ask to meet with the parent(s) or guardian(s) before meeting with the child or adolescent. This initial consultation session includes time for you to review and fill out forms. At that appointment, we can discuss and schedule a regular time for your sessions.
You can call 561-441-9933 to set up an appointment.
How do I know if or when I should come to counseling?
It is okay to be unsure about therapy. Most people are. It is normal to have questions about what counseling is, how long each session will be and what kind of investment you might be expected to make. In my experience, if you are questioning whether or not you should give counseling a try, this is probably an indicator that you should. I encourage you to trust your instincts. Please take your time reviewing the information below. But, if you still have questions, just give us a call. I am happy to help.

Vincentian appointed Director of Cricket West Indies
Mar 29, 2017 |
Arnos Vale, St. Vincent – March 29, 2017 – President of SVGCA Inc., Kishore Shallow is now a Director of Cricket West Indies. Shallow was elected as a director at the AGM of the regional body last Sunday, March 26, 2017.
The AGM was held at the Accra Beach Hotel in Barbados, and also featured the unopposed re-election of President Dave Cameron and Vice President Emmanuel Nanthan. Shallow was the only new appointment, as he was nominated by the Windward Islands to serve as their representative as a replacement for fellow Vincentian, the long-serving, Elson Crick.
President Shallow expressed his gratitude for the confidence that the other Board members have demonstrated in him. "I am appreciative to the electorate for the opportunity to serve the region in cricket; this sport has tremendous value to every West Indian, and so I am truly humbled by the confidence in my ability to enhance Cricket West Indies" said Shallow. In response to the question of his expectation in his new role, Director Shallow lamented "I am certain that I share the sentiments of the other Board members that our cricket is not where it should be, and while this is being addressed, I trust that my involvement at this level would augment the pace to consistent success and rise in world cricket. I have no doubt that with the right energy and focus on and off the field, we will experience many more successes like we did in 2016".
The AGM also confirmed the rebranding of the regional body, which will now be called Cricket West Indies, instead of WICB. There is also the intention to launch a new website in the near future.
Cricket West Indies recently appointed a new Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams, and Head Coach, Australian Stuart Law.

The Twisted Head: Chaos and Comedy in the North Bronx
SpecialTags: Books
The action films of the 1970s shot in and around New York embrace a curb-level realism – an obsession with gritty locations – that no studio or backlot can possibly reproduce. The storefronts, dented cars, barren parks and filigreed subway els dress movies like The Seven-Ups, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, and the French Connection, racing along with the action in glimpses and high contrast light and murky shadow. But there was life in those shops and apartments and row houses, life in a city that no longer exists, a life that was both tougher and less material than the New York three decades on – a city that still expects cartoonish credit-laden consumption even as the consumer markets that created neon expectations can no longer deliver on the promise.
In one of the Bronx neighborhoods Ray Scheider drove so recklessly through in chase of some drug-dealing punks, a dysfunctional family of Italian-Americans sweated out the tough times – times that inspired Twisted Head, a hilarious and cutting memoir by its youngest progeny, the actor and writer Carl Capotorto.
You may remember Capotorto as "Little Pauli" in The Sopranos, but there was nothing of the mythical mob glamor about his childhood in the Pelham Parkway section of the Bronx. Capotorto was the youngest child of a family dominated by a father with a violent temper, and the book's title comes from the literal translation of Capotorto – "twisted head" – which seems so perfectly suited to the temperament of Philip Vito Capotorto.
The Bronx of Carl Capotorto's youth was still recognizable in the Bronx of the 1980s, where I arrived as a rookie political reporter for The Riverdale Press. Congressman Mario Biaggi, the pornographic Globe Theater, the shops on Arthur Avenue, Bronx Park and even Cappi's Pizza and Sangweech Shop under the el on White Plains Road are all familiar.
But equally familiar is the close-in third generation immigrant American experience in New York; mine was Irish and based around Yonkers, but Capotorto's experience was the same as many of the kids I knew who grew up around Dunwoodie in the 60s and 70s. I recognize the characters from their families, and from my own – the always-simmering pot of "gravy," the uncles and their tales of European war, the trips to Playland, the allure of "the city," the music, the cars, the long family gatherings.
Capotorto keeps his personal memoir moving and although his father's anger provides the dramatic core of the story, the episodes with the women in his life – his mother, his sisters, his grandmother – give Twisted Head much of its richness and humor, as does the author's struggle with homosexuality and acceptance in adolescence. The story never tips into either self-absorbed pathos or two-dimensional ethnic and sexual cliche; Capotorto deftly balances the details of the city and the times with the story arc of his family and his life.
In the end, despite the author's evident personal struggle, you're not at all sorry for Carl Capotorto's early life in the Bronx. It was, after all, a rich childhood filled with picaresque characters that gave Capotorto a rare gift: a story well worth telling.

News worth noting: Chinook salmon to be released, new draft permit for nutrient discharges for SF Bay, and ACWA establishes Statewide Drought Action Group
News Worth Noting
Chinook salmon to be released in the Sacramento River: "Approximately 193,000 broodyear 2013 winter Chinook salmon reared at Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery (NFH) in Shasta City, Calif., will be released Monday, February 10 into the Sacramento River at the Caldwell Park boat launch (river mile 299) in Redding, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today. Releases generally are timed to coincide with periods of rainfall, which increases flow and turbidity of rivers, enhancing survival of the fish as they make their way to the ocean. Although this is a record dry year in California this release will occur coincident to the storm hitting northern California this weekend to take advantage of the resultant increased flow and turbidity in the river. Hatchery staff plans to release the fish at dusk at Caldwell Boat Launch. … " Read more from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service here: Service to Release Endangered Winter Chinook Salmon to the Sacramento River February 10
New draft permit for nutrient discharges into San Francisco Bay from wastewater treatment plants available for public review: "The San Francisco Bay Water Board has released for public review a new draft permit for nutrients discharged from municipal wastewater treatment facilities in the Bay Area. This permit will be the first step in a multi-year plan to address a potentially growing problem with nutrients in San Francisco Bay. Recent research shows that reductions in Bay sediments and other factors have made the Bay more susceptible to adverse effects from excess nutrients. These effects include algae blooms and oxygen depletion that may harm fish and other aquatic life. The draft permit proposes requirements to characterize the quantity and types of nutrients wastewater treatment facilities discharge and to evaluate potential wastewater treatment upgrades. The draft permit would also require support of scientific studies in the Bay to inform whether nutrient reductions will be needed to avoid adverse effects in the future. The Water Board will consider adopting the permit at its hearing on April 9, 2014. … " Read more here from the San Francisco Bay Water Board: New Nutrients Requirements on Wastewater to San Francisco Bay
ACWA establishes Statewide Drought Action Group: "With California now in its worst drought on record, ACWA is moving to assemble a group of water community experts to recommend specific actions to combat severe drought conditions this year. ACWA's Board of Directors voted to establish the Drought Action Group at its Jan. 31 meeting as a way to channel expertise and hands-on drought experience to identify needs and potential solutions. The group's work will help guide ACWA's efforts at the state and federal level to advance actions to reduce impacts this year and in future droughts. "This drought is unprecedented, and we need serious solutions. Many ACWA members have had to invoke mandatory water use reductions, and more will follow suit in the coming weeks," ACWA President John Coleman said. "The agricultural economy in the Central Valley will be hit especially hard, with forecasts of as much as 500,000 acres of land fallowed due to lack of irrigation water. "As the water community, it is critical for us to pull together an action-oriented group that can leverage our collective knowledge of drought impacts to identify steps that could be undertaken to address this and future droughts."

The `Backbone.Marionette.Application` object is the hub of your composite
application. It organizes, initializes and coordinate the various pieces of your
app. It also provides a starting point for you to call into, from your HTML
script block or from your JavaScript files directly if you prefer to go that
route.

The `Application` is meant to be instantiated directly, although you can extend
it to add your own functionality.

```js
MyApp = new Backbone.Marionette.Application();
```

## Adding Initializers

Your application needs to do useful things, like displaying content in your
regions, starting up your routers, and more. To accomplish these tasks and
ensure that your `Application` is fully configured, you can add initializer
callbacks to the application.

```js
MyApp.addInitializer(function(options){
  // do useful stuff here
  var myView = new MyView({
    model: options.someModel
  });
  MyApp.mainRegion.show(myView);
});

MyApp.addInitializer(function(options){
  new MyAppRouter();
  Backbone.history.start();
});
```

These callbacks will be executed when you start your application,
and are bound to the application object as the context for
the callback. In other words, `this` is the `MyApp` object, inside
of the initializer function.

The `options` parameters is passed from the `start` method (see below).

Initializer callbacks are guaranteed to run, no matter when you
add them to the app object. If you add them before the app is
started, they will run when the `start` method is called. If you
add them after the app is started, they will run immediately.

## Application Event

The `Application` object raises a few events during its lifecycle. These events
can be used to do additional processing of your application. For example, you
may want to pre-process some data just before initialization happens. Or you may
want to wait until your entire application is initialized to start the
`Backbone.history`.

The events that are currently triggered, are:

* **"initialize:before"**: fired just before the initializers kick off
* **"initialize:after"**: fires just after the initializers have finished
* **"start"**: fires after all initializers and after the initializer events

```js
MyApp.on("initialize:before", function(options){
  options.moreData = "Yo dawg, I heard you like options so I put some options in your options!"
});

MyApp.on("initialize:after", function(options){
  if (Backbone.history){
    Backbone.history.start();
  }
});
```

The `options` parameter is passed through the `start` method of the application
object (see below).

## Starting An Application

Once you have your application configured, you can kick everything off by
calling: `MyApp.start(options)`.

This function takes a single optional parameter. This parameter will be passed
to each of your initializer functions, as well as the initialize events. This
allows you to provide extra configuration for various parts of your app, at
initialization/start of the app, instead of just at definition.

```js
var options = {
  something: "some value",
  another: "#some-selector"
};

MyApp.start(options);
```

## app.vent: Event Aggregator

Every application instance comes with an instance of `Marionette.EventAggregator`
called `app.vent`.

```js
MyApp = new Backbone.Marionette.Application();

MyApp.vent.on("foo", function(){
  alert("bar");
});

MyApp.vent.trigger("foo"); // => alert box "bar"
```

See the `Marionette.EventAggregator` documentation below, for more details.

## Regions And The Application Object

Marionette's `Region` objects can be directly added to an application by
calling the `addRegions` method:

```js
MyApp.addRegions({
  someRegion: "#some-div",
  anotherRegion: "#another-div"
});
```

Regions can also be removed with the `removeRegion` method, passing in
the name of the region to remove as a string value:

```js
MyApp.removeRegion('someRegion');
```

Removing a region will properly close it before removing it from the
application object.

For more information on regions, see [the region documentation](./marionette.region.md)

Q: How to describe the orientation of an object?
I want to know how to instruct when a component needs to be attached to a car in a manner shown in the drawing above. My examples are as follows:

Example 1: This component needs to be attached so that the green
  colored end faces the front side of a vehicle.
Example 2: This component needs to be attached so that the green
  colored end is on the front side of a vehicle.

A: This component must be attached oriented lengthwise in the direction of travel, with the green colored end toward the front. See diagram.
This component must be attached - this is more forceful than "needs to be", and it puts the requirement on the assembler, not the part - oriented lengthwise in the direction of travel, - with it's long axis aligned parallel with the long axis of the vehicle - with the green colored end toward the front. - in that manner. See diagram. - an accompanying diagram is always helpful in assisting the assembler in understanding the exact requirements.

Q: Sencha Touch JSONPinclude via https doesn't work on some android devices I have got a scripttag proxy that reads json data from a remote https url. In the emulator, on iPhones and on some android devices it works. But there are some Androids (HTC Desire and a Motrola Milestone I don't know) that doesn't work.
excerp of Kunde.js
proxy: {
    type: 'scripttag',
    url: API_URL + 'getKundenListe',
    reader: {
        type: 'json',
        root: 'kunden'
    },
    listeners: {
        exception: function(proxy, request, operation) {
            alert('exception during scripttag proxy operation');
        }
    }
},

The exception displays all the time on that android devices.
Via debug.phonegap.com I figured out that the remote device added this script tag to the head section:
<script src="https://apps.kdo.de/wuakz/json/getKundenListe?_dc=1329298561166&limit=25&callback=stcCallback1001" async="true" type="text/javascript" id="stcScript1001"></script>

On the devices that doesn't work, the script tag is two times in the head section.
The response of this request looks like this:
stcCallback1001({"kunden":[{"kdnr":"0100","bezeichnung":"Stadt Oldenburg","kuerzel":"OL"}],"status":"ok"})

I have also added the INTERNET permission to the AndroidManifest.
Any ideas on how to figure out the problem?

A: If you are using phonegap there is no need to use the scripttag proxy. You can use the ajax proxy and it will work, because it's not running in a browser, so there is no such security constrain.

A: To close this out:
It worked when upgrading to Android 2.3.

Dartmouth's Lindell Wigginton signs contract with NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, scores in debut
Willy Palov | Posted: Jan. 13, 2022, 1:35 p.m. | Updated: Jan. 14, 2022, 9:05 a.m. | 3 Min Read
The Milwaukee Bucks signed guard Lindell Wigginton of Dartmouth to a two-way contract on Thursday. - Milwaukee Bucks
Dartmouth's Lindell Wigginton has made it to the NBA.
The 23-year-old signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday to give him a more solid standing with the franchise. The six-foot-one, 189-pound guard was already in the Bucks' system with the NBA G League's Wisconsin Herd but this improves his chances of a call-up. In fact, the Bucks put Wigginton right into their lineup on Thursday and he scored two points in 4:33 of action. He also had a rebound and a steal.

Wigginton becomes the second Nova Scotian to make it to the NBA. Bedford's Nate Darling did it first when he suited up for the Charlotte Hornets last year. He made his debut on March 13, 2021 against the Toronto Raptors..
Wigginton was averaging 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists through 23 games so far this season with the Herd. He scored 20 or more points in seven games this season and surpassed 30 points twice.

The move coincides with the Bucks' decision to request waivers for guard Javonte Smart, who signed a two-way contract on Nov. 30 and appeared in 13 games with Milwaukee.
Wigginton spent last season with the Iowa Wolves, the G League affiliate for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Prior to that, he spent two seasons in the NCAA with Iowa State Cyclnes. He was never drafted.
NBA teams are only allowed to retain two players on two-way contracts per season so this is an important signal to Wigginton that he is a top candidate for the Bucks' next call-up.
Darling, a 23-year-old shooting guard, is now in the NBA G-League with the Agua Caliente Clippers, the affiliate for the Los Angeles Clippers.

A self-portrait of NASA's Curiosity rover in the Murray Buttes area of lower Aeolis Mons.
Amid radio silence from NASA's Opportunity rover, Curiosity continues to probe Mars' Gale Crater. Now scientists have repurposed the rover's navigation and attitude instruments to help resolve an enduring mystery.
At the center of Curiosity's mission stands a three-mile-high mountain variously called Aeolis Mons or Mount Sharp.
But how did it form? Did it, as some say, emerge as wind eroded a crater filled to the brim with sediment?
That appears less likely following a recent study in the journal "Science."
Unfortunately, a mobile laboratory roving more than 30 million miles from the nearest engineer can't make a pit stop to have a gravimeter installed.
So scientists turned to the next best thing: the accelerometers the rover uses to stay level and on-course.
The researchers also showed the instruments could be used to detect Martian earthquakes.
Measurements using Curiosity's accelerometers (gray) show a decrease in gravity as the rover climbs Aeolis Mons. The rate of decrease of the modeled gravity (black) allowed the study's authors to measure the density of the rocks that make up the mount.
Like the gizmos that track a smartphone's tilt, the rover's accelerometers detect changes in velocity or rotation. Because gravity causes objects to accelerate, researchers could combine these measurements to figure out the density of the rocks at depths of hundreds of feet.
"So this actually represents standard data that we've sort of analyzed later to obtain novel scientific insight, which is arguably one of the most exciting aspects of the work," said Gabriel.
The data revealed that the underlying rocks were too porous, and not dense enough, to have been compressed by sediments three miles deep — the amount a fully filled crater would have held.
The findings comport better with a second explanation, namely that Aeolis Mons formed as a freestanding structure built from sediments blown into the crater via slope winds, which would naturally carry sediment toward the basin's center.
The sediments would have originated mainly within an ancient lake, with occasional contributions from rivers and windblown sand dunes.
Since landing in 2012, Curiosity has ranged across the surrounding plains and lowest exposed layers of Aeolis Mons, climbing more than 1,000 feet.
Gabriel says researchers hope to gain further insights as exploration continues.
