I am recently using scala in my project. I had tried to do Debug Scala Class: and there was a compilation error. After fixing the error I tried again to Debug Scala Class - and it never completed. Canceling the tasks (clicking on red x) did not work. I could not even Exit the IJ. Note: i have enabled fsc.
Here is another recompile attempt. I made a tiny change to one scala class and it gets stuck with message : "Phase total passed in 2000ms"

Q: Laravel 5.5 - Upload to public folder I'm trying to store a file in the public folder storage/app/public/ but for some reason Laravel just seems to put it in the private storage/app/ folder.
If I understand correctly I'm supposed to just set the visibility to 'public' but that doesn't seem to change anything:
Storage::put($fileName, file_get_contents($file), 'public');

When I call getVisibility I get public so that seems to work fine:
Storage::getVisibility($fileName); // public

These are the settings in my filesystems.php:
'disks' => [

    'local' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app'),
    ],

    'public' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],

    's3' => [
        'driver' => 's3',
        'key' => env('AWS_KEY'),
        'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET'),
        'region' => env('AWS_REGION'),
        'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
    ],

],

A: When you call Storage::put, Laravel will use the default disk which is 'local'.
The local disk stores files at its root: storage_path('app'). The visibility has nothing with where the file should be stored.
You need to choose the public disk which will store the files at its root: storage_path('app/public'),
To do that, you need to tell Laravel which disk to use when uploading the file. Basically change your code to this:
Storage::disk('public')->put($fileName, file_get_contents($file), 'public');

Whose Hat Is This? To Release Everything's OK on Nov. 16
Article Contributed by The Press House | Published on Tuesday, September 4, 2018
Whose Hat Is This?, a collaboration of Tedeschi Trucks Band members Tim Lefebvre, Tyler "Falcon" Greenwell, J.J. Johnson, and Kebbi Williams, are pleased to announce the release of their second album, Everything's OK (Featuring Kokayi), set to release on November 16 via Ropeadope. The band combines meteoric musical heights with outlandish grooves. It's free-jazz you can dance to. Cecil Taylor could never say that.
The band's beginnings are truly organic-- in 2015 the bandmates, while on an European tour with TTB, found themselves with a day off. An impromptu decision to take the stage at A-Trane, a jazz club in Berlin, with no material and no preconditions allowed the then un-named band to explore and stretch out. It was a one-off gig and a total dice-roll. To the band it felt like what happens when God's jello finally sets; some members of the audience threw their clothes (was that a hat ?), others simply had to go home and journal. This was music that needed to be pursued.
Whose Hat Is This? picks up the improvisational gauntlet thrown by the "jam band" scene and goes gonzo, applying rhythmic muscle, experimental funk and wry humor to musical precincts where they are often sorely lacking. Tim Lefebvre on bass brings an eclectic bottom that he's honed with a diverse array of artists from Wayne Krantz to David Bowie ("BLACKSTAR.") The double drum-set attack of Tyler "Falcon" Greenwell (Susan Tedeschi, Col. Bruce Hampton) and J.J. Johnson (John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr.) are the perfect trampoline for Kebbi Williams' tenor saxophone flights. If the sound of four tour-ravaged lunatics playing without-a-net sounds appealing, that's because it is. If the "Hat" fits, etc. etc.
Luckily for the curious listener, Whose Hat Is This? has captured their genre-defying mayhem live. First on their eponymous, self-released Whose Hat Is This?, recorded that fateful night at Berlin's A-Trane. Their second effort,Everything's Ok (Featuring Kokayi) is a scorched-earth set recorded in 2017 at the 8x10 in Baltimore. The new album features the future-voice stylings of Kokayi , and producer/engineer Geoff Stanfield 's unassailable ear candy.
The band will tour in support of Everything's Okay (Featuring Kokayi) in October and December of this year with stops in New York and Washington D.C., plus a run of shows down south. What to expect from a live show? Isaac Weeks writing for the Raleigh News & Observer captures the band's on-stage chemistry best by noting, "While Whose Hat Is This? finds itself slotted into the genre of acid jazz often when it comes to describing the band's sound, it's truly a case of trying to categorize something that evolves each night. Electronica, funk, every sound is grist for the mill when it comes to these particular musicians, who are always on the lookout for inspiration before taking the stage to perform."

El sombrero de catite o simplemente el catite es un sombrero tradicional de Andalucía, en España, que recibe ese nombre por el parecido de su copa con la forma cónica de un dulce así llamado.

Se trata de un sombrero de copa cónica alta y de ala ancha doblada hacia arriba formando un borde de perfil rectangular. Suele llevarse sobre un pañuelo atado en la nuca que cubre la cabeza.

BiographiesMissions
Father Ross, Hoosier Presbyterians
John was born July 23, 1783 to John and Elizabeth (Corcoran) Ross who were Roman Catholics living in Dublin, Ireland. His parents died when he was very young leaving him an orphan. At the age of eighteen he left Ireland for a hopefully better life in England. On January 1, 1801 the Act of Union had tenuously brought together Great Britain and Ireland as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, so possibly, Ross believed the new relationship with Britain meant better opportunities for an Irishman in England. The sailing trip from Dublin across the Irish Sea to Liverpool was about two hundred miles. Liverpool was growing due to increased trade created by the canal running from Liverpool to Gathurst which would eventually go all the way to Leeds. Where there is trade and transportation, there is often work whether it is related to shipping or supplying the necessities of life, so Ross thought Liverpool would offer a vocational opportunity. His hope was fulfilled when a cobbler accepted him to apprentice making shoes. During the time Ross was in Liverpool it was common practice for the British to impress, force, men to serve in the Royal Navy. One of the issues that would contribute to starting the War of 1812 was the Royal Navy boarding United States vessels and seizing crews for its ships of the line. As a strong young man from Ireland, John was a prime candidate for the Royal Navy, so much so that he was forced onto a ship three different times. Ross found opportunity in Liverpool, but the Royal Navy found opportunity to impress him. He managed to escape and return to Liverpool the first two times, but by the third impressment Ross had completed apprenticeship and was ready to set up shop. Shrewdly, John used the ship he worked on during his last impressment as his ticket out of England. He jumped ship when it docked in Barbados and boarded a vessel bound for New London, Connecticut. John was hatless, broke, and shoeless, which was particularly unfortunate for a cobbler. With things not going very well, John hoped to have a better life.
As he settled in Connecticut, Ross was made to feel at home by the kindness of some locals and he put his cobbling tools to use making shoes. At the time he immigrated there was not a Roman Catholic Church in New London, but he was befriended by some Christians—likely from a Congregational church, who told him of his need for Christ for redemption from sin. John embraced the gospel and shortly thereafter came to believe he was called to the ministry. The next step was formal education, but it would be a challenge because he continued to struggle financially. As would be the case for impoverished ministerial candidate Zelotes Holmes, Ross obtained funds for studies from a local women's charity association. He attended Middlebury College in Vermont, established by Congregationalists, and then went on to study divinity at Princeton Seminary as a member of its second class. He completed the curriculum in 1816.
John's plan was to go into missionary work in the western frontier of the nation, but the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA) missions committee had no funds to support his work, so he went to Philadelphia as a local missionary for about three months. To make his way to the desired field of ministry, Ross accepted a call in the Presbytery of Redstone to the Somerset Church which was about sixty-five miles southeast of Pittsburgh. He was ordained and installed December 3, 1817, by a Presbytery commission which included Francis Herron, James Graham, and Thomas Hunt. Shortly into this call he married Emma York of Stonington, Connecticut. After a short call in Somerset, the Ross household moved further west to Ripley, Ohio, for John to serve a different congregation for about four years.
In 1822 the General Assembly appointed Ross to preach for three months in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The distance from Ripley to Fort Wayne is about two-hundred miles. Looking back on his experiences during the trip in a letter written in 1859, he described the difficulties encountered on his journey. Rev. Ross and Matthias Griggs, who was a trader taking hats and dried fruits to sell to settlers, set out in a two-horse wagon. The first night they stopped they were disturbed by the continued howling of wolves that surrounded their camp. As the journey wore on they went through a great snowstorm which reduced their speed as they pressed on through the cold muck. But the worst was yet to come because the temperature continued to drop freezing their wheels in place. They tried to strike a fire so they could melt the ice and keep on moving, but they could not get the tinder to ignite with a spark from flint. They left their goods-laden wagon to their trusty dog as they unhitched the horses and went on to Fort Wayne. They could not ride their mounts because the wind was frigid, so they used them for wind breaks as they walked on the leeward side. They finally made it to Fort Wayne and were welcomed by Samuel Hanna, who would later become an elder in the Fort Wayne Church. Fort Wayne had about one-hundred-fifty residents and was ready for a Presbyterian church. Ross preached the next day and continued to do so for three months. He would travel to Fort Wayne four more times during his ministry. John Ross must have been a rugged and stout figure of a man who had been prepared for the difficulties of frontier missions by his experiences under servitude to Britain's Royal Navy.
Horseback was his means of travel and extensive areas in both western Ohio and eastern Indiana were covered by saddle-weary Ross. When he was forty years old he accepted a call to Beulah Church in Richmond, Indiana, so his household settled for an extended tenure of twenty-five years ending in 1849. From this point Ross's ministry will be tracked from the account of his life in the Necrological Report published by Princeton Seminary.
From the printed Minutes of the General Assembly, it appears that in 1849 he was a member of the Presbytery of Muncie and continued to be a member until his death.… In 1849 he was Stated Supply at Burlington, Indiana, and in 1850 at Windsor, Ohio. After the latter year he is stated to be "aged" and "infirm." After leaving Richmond, Indiana, he resided successively near New Paris, Ohio; Milton, Connersville, Knightstown, Burlington, Muncie and Tipton, Indiana, most of the time with one or another of his children. He was one of the pioneers of the Presbyterian Church in Indiana. In labors he was abundant. As long as he could stand in the pulpit he was fond of preaching, and sometimes preached with considerable vigor long after he had passed his eightieth year.
He lived to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest minister in the Presbyterian Church of his day and was for several years preceding his death was the oldest living alumnus of Princeton Seminary and the only survivor of its second class. He died in the home of one of his daughters in Tipton, Indiana, March 11, 1876. Emma had predeceased him April 9, 1855. John and Emma had nine children—John Henry, Harriet, Ann, Emma, Peter, Edward, Recca, Oliver, and William. His life had been a challenging one on the frontier, but he was remembered in his day as "Father Ross" because of his ministry to remote congregations in the land of Hoosiers and his importance to Indiana Presbyterianism. No publications by Ross could be located and it appears from the sources available that he did not attend the annual meetings of the PCUSA General Assembly.

April 9, 2019 / Podcast / Brooklyn Paper Radio
On BPR: Brooklyn Heights Association Executive Dierctor Peter Bray talks BQE
By Moses Jefferson
Brooklyn Paper Radio this week discussed the latest news regarding the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, as well as the playoff-bound Brooklyn Nets.
Co-hosts Zach Gewelb and Johnny Kunen were joined by reporter Kevin Duggan, as the trio spoke with Peter Bray, the executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Association, about the fall out from last week's town hall as it relates to the BQE.
Bray said that "a threshold has been achieved," given that the city will no longer be trying to force a highway onto the Brooklyn Promenade. In fact, it was the day of the most recent town hall that the city revealed a new "expert panel" to consider some other solutions.
"Clearly the city is saying that it made a mistake before with its original two plans, that it didn't widely consider other options, and now it's time to talk a fresh look and the fact that the panel was announced on the day of the town hall meeting... It didn't surprise us," Bray said.
Kunen then pitched his own idea on how to salve the BQE's issues: make the triple cantilever an above ground two story tunnel.
Bray didn't dismiss the idea, saying that "all creative ideas need to be put into the hopper."
Moving on, Gewelb and Kunen talked about the exciting playoff-clinching weekend for the Nets and how they might match up against either the 76ers or the Toronto Raptors.
Nets coverage will continue on next week's show as we discuss the team's first-round matchup.
We encourage listeners to email bpnewsroom@schnepsmedia.com with comments on the Nets' playoff chances and the BQE. We're happy to read some of the comments on next week's show.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the body's internal structures that are clearer, more detailed and more likely in some instances to identify and accurately characterize disease than other imaging methods. It is used to evaluate the body for a variety of conditions, including tumors and diseases of the liver, heart, and bowel. It may also be used to monitor an unborn child in the womb. MRI is noninvasive and does not use ionizing radiation.
Computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic imaging test used to create detailed cross sectional images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels. CT scanning is often the best method for detecting many different cancers since the images allow your doctor to confirm the presence of a tumor and determine its size and location. CT is fast, painless, noninvasive and accurate. In emergency cases, it can reveal internal injuries and bleeding quickly enough to help save lives.
Ultrasound imaging uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body's internal structures. Ultrasound is often used to help diagnose unexplained pain, swelling and infection. It may also be used to provide imaging guidance to needle biopsies or to see and evaluate conditions related to blood flow. It's also the preferred imaging method for monitoring a pregnant woman and her unborn child. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don't show up well on x-ray images.
Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose x-rays to detect cancer early – before women experience symptoms – when it is most treatable. Frequently, additional exams are also used, including ultrasound and MRI to assist in the task of screening and early diagnosis of breast diseases.
Vascular / Interventional Radiology
Using imaging guidance, including X-ray, CT scan and Ultrasound, our radiologists can perform minimally invasive procedures that frequently replace or assist the alternatives of major surgery. Many times, the way the physicians perform the procedure is through a tiny skin nick about the size of the hole at the end of a pen. Procedures are performed that can diagnose or treat a myriad of conditions, from bleeding to uterine fibroids to cancer.
X-ray (Radiography)
X-ray uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the body's internal structures. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. They are often used to help diagnosed fractured bones, look for injury or infection and to locate foreign objects in soft tissue. Some x-ray exams may use an iodine-based contrast material or barium to help improve the visibility of blood vessels, GI tract,fistulas and sinuses.
Bone mineral densitometry, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or DEXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower spine and hips) to measure bone loss. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and to assess an individual's risk for developing fractures. DEXA is simple, quick and noninvasive. It's also the most accurate method for diagnosing osteoporosis.

A Sea Bass Trip First - Tog Not Open in MD Until January 1st.
New Year's Day looks doable, I expect we'll go toggin.
Not a trip for those who enjoy howling at the moon; Late night revelers usually curse each passing sea while their "friends" make video for future Facebook & YouTube posts. If you're going to celebrate New Year's Eve--Sleep in. If, however, you want to start the New Year with fresh tog--Come see us.
I'm just trying to get clients bit, Looking to put together a catch; There's no magic, We're going fishing.
Fish a lot, you'll see a few dandies.
Putting together a collaborative reef building effort with the Ocean City Fishing Center's Tuna Tournament to put an addition on Jimmy Jackson's Reef.
Jimmy caught billfish all over the world ..but he loved the challenge of toggin too.
Last year mate Mike & I built experimental 'tog condos' with the aid of Jeff Bauer at Eastern Shore Brick & Bob Perrone of Rinker Concrete. Blocking up the inside of concrete pipe creates a fantastic increase in habitat value -- instead of one bull tog, it can now house many -- Tog Condos.
Only the veneer, the outermost layer, is available for colonization in a mound of shell or stone.
I think we should instead build three-high concrete pipe pyramids with stone overtop. Here, by opening the center, by using the interior of the mounds and even engineering the pipe by using block, by making fish condos, We'll create fantastically more reef surface available to oyster & coral colonization -- "Inside" a reef is also the preferred habitat of tautog..
Jimmy's Reef is about seven miles east of OC inlet in the Bass Grounds Reef permit. I see these hollow stone mounds grown-over with hard & soft corals, I see them -not contributing to restoration- but carrying our region's tautog population higher than its ever been. Sea bass, lobster, rock crab, mussels, corals: Reef life will flourish on these modestly engineered reef sets.
Chesapeake too, I also see these pipe/rock mounds covered with redbeard sponge, mussels, oysters & loaded with fish not targeted in Maryland's Bay waters in over a century. Sheepshead & tautog were Maryland's original Rockfish. We know sheepshead used to thrive in the Bay from St. Mary's archeological digs. This temperate reef fish's bones are found in colonist's earliest kitchen midden layers but none are found in Maryland's oral history ..until very recently.
Past generations having delved deeply into habitat's principal, fisheries restoration will now require capitol investment.
We'll start this next ocean phase straight-away with proceeds from The Ocean City Tuna Tournament & our daily Morning Star 50/50 Reef Raffle.
However, I'm still waiting for permission to use concrete pipe in the lower Chesapeake Bay.
Whether permission for pipe occurs or not, re-reefing the Chesapeake is vital to Marine restoration.
The Maryland Artificial Reef Initiative (MARI) has only recently received permission to use rock instead of shell. We should have bargeloads of rock building reef near Man-o-War Shoal before winter's gone by.
Using shell since just after the Civil War; It dredges well for oyster catching -- We sure haven't had much luck with oyster restoration.
Concrete & rock grow oysters but are bad for dredges.
I was recently shown pictures from The Nature Conservancy's Virginia Coast Reserve oyster restoration efforts. They've got the same Mid-Atlantic oyster disease & oyster drill problems -- but lots of wild oysters.
One revealing low-tide picture showed modified cement block --blocks designed by Gus Lorber of Allied Concrete in Charlottesville, VA-- sitting atop a shell mound; A Great Big Shell Mound.
Lots & Lots of Shells -- No Oysters Growing.
Little Bit of Concrete -- Lots of Oysters Growing.
..and not at all on shell.
I believe turning green ocean-waters blue again will depend on oysters -- not dredges; I also believe nothing will benefit dredges more than a LOT of spawning oysters.
..overtop modified pipe would restore fish and oysters faster.
About 8 miles offshore, barely a mile from Jimmy's Reef in the Atlantic, is an edge called the First Lump. In my late teens/early twenties it was a great place to target bluefish and mako shark, there were sightings of blue marlin almost every year - No More.
A generation before party boats made long drifts there catching sea bass. Men such as Capt. Jim & Capt. Jack caught white marlin there -- won marlin tournaments on these 'inshore' grounds.
A generation before them, the First Lump was offshore: For those two generations Ocean City, Maryland was truly the "White Marlin Capitol of the World."
Blue waters turned green, Reefs turned to sand: Re-reefing the Mid-Atlantic is vital to fisheries restoration.
If our private donations are the best we can do, so be it--We'll do what we can. Big, Industrial, American Style Reef Restoration would be better.


Dell hosted this event at its offices in Bracknell. It had a full house of highly engaged people and some top notch workshops.
Once again, we hardly changed the agenda timings. Based on Feedback we ran two sessions back to back to maximise the opportunity for attendees to go to as many different workshops as possible. We also decided to try a slightly different format and holding the Keynote at the end of the day.
Our breakout sessions focused very much around the "Pay it forward"movement.
Building your networks a must for business success – Alyse Ashton.
This was yet another fantastic event with some great networking opportunities for the attendees. The CWT project team have proved time and time again that they can collaborate on a project that does not fall in anyone's work remit and drive it to success.
Well done everyone, I look forward to the next event at Intel in October 2014!

World War II Bombing Raids on America
(idea) by BrooksMarlin Tue May 07 2002 at 22:22:06
During World War II the continental United States was in the enviable position of being separated from the front lines by two oceans, but this still did not make them immune from attacks on their home soil. Both the Japanese and the Germans had several plans for bombing the U.S. mainland.
Of course the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was what spurred the U.S. into World War II, but the Japanese had bigger plans for their bombers. Most of these centered around the brand new H8K, a four-engine seaplane with a 192 ft. wingspan. It had a range of 4,400 miles and could carry four tons of bombs at a top speed of 289 miles per hour. In 1942 the Japanese planned to have six H8K's fly to the California coast, land on the water to be refueled by submarines, bomb Los Angeles, and then fly back to safe territory. If this mission was a success, the Japanese wanted to take thirty H8Ks and refuel them off of Baja California, where they would then fly to Texas and bomb the oil fields there. The planes would then fly onward to the Atlantic where they would meet up with German submarines stationed there and stage terror raids up and down the east coast of the U.S. The Germans were eager to cooperate and had prepared the tanker subs to refuel the H8Ks. All of these plans were scaled back after The Battle of Midway and never came to fruition.
The Japanese had another plan for attacking the mainland: hot air balloons. These unmanned balloons carried one 15-kilogram antipersonnel bomb and two incendiary devices. The Japanese hoped that these balloons could set fire to the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest, again this mission really only had terror and propaganda value. Between November 1944 and April 1945 the Japanese released more than 9,000 balloons. It is estimated that about 1,000 made it to North America, they have been found in Alaska and Mexico and as far east as Kansas. On May 5, 1945, five children and a woman were killed in Lakeview, Oregon when they found one of the balloons and tried to drag it out of the forest. These six people are the only known causalties of the balloon bombs, but many of the balloons have been found with their payloads still operational, so they may remain a threat to the unsuspecting hiker.
Meanwhile the Germans were working on their own long-range bomber. In 1942 the four-engine Me-264, or the "Amerika Bomber" first took flight. It could carry two tons of bombs 9,500 miles. It could fly from Europe to New York and back without having to land and could stay in the air for 45 hours. But problems on the Eastern Front caused them to delay their bombing plans until 1944. Early in the year, a six engine Ju-290, a light recon plane, made a flight over New York City and took photographs of likely targets. The British knew about the recon flight from decoded German messages, but chose not to tell the Americans until after it took place. Upon learning of the German plan the Americans sent swarms of bombers and destroyed the Me-264 plant. Not that it made much difference, by this late in the war the Luftwaffe was in no position to make such long flights and the Germans didn't have enough resources to make enough planes anyway.

All of our recent air shows have been extremely successful with fantastic inquiry rates and several secured sales including several for the new Taurus aircraft. Pipistrel's entry into the USA market is strengthened as we work towards Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) acceptance with the cooperation of a specialist industry consultant.
Natfly at Narromine was again really well attended with probably 600 aircraft flying in over the Easter long weekend period. Several of our customers showcased their aircraft and assisted with the high level of inquiries throughout the weekend. Windy weather hampered Saturdays activities, but our location coupled with our trailer and tent kept our team away from the elements and able to successfully talk with customers.
The following weekend we attended Mudgee's Wings Wheels & Wine Air Show where I was pleased to see five Pipistrel aircraft in attendance. Airshow displays were completed by several of our pilots throughout the event and feedback on the speed and grace of the Pipistrel aircraft flowed throughout the day, Charles Dalglish one of our regular supporters put on an excellent demonstration of engine off performance flying quite aggressively for several minutes without losing much height.
he did himself. No wonder he can never find a passenger to fly with him !
To add some special interest to the Mudgee airshow I attempted to see how high a standard Sinus aircraft without any modification could safely fly. Strapping on the oxygen and getting airways clearance our efforts were rewarded by reaching 18,200 feet before our rich running engine started to slow down…… That's not bad for our first attempt and it claims the Australia altitude record for two-seat ultralight registered aircraft. We look forward to making some slight modifications to our engine to go even higher next time by installing a leaning circuit to the carburettors.

Terence Lim to run sales for GSAM in Korea
After a spell with a hedge fund, Lim rejoins Goldman Sachs to spearhead a retail offensive for the asset-management unit in Seoul.
Terence Lim: Back into the fold
Goldman Sachs Asset Management is well known in Korea for running large institutional portfolios, but does not yet have a retail presence. That may be set to change with the return of Terence Lim in the newly created post of co-chief executive.
Lim will work alongside co-CEO Kevin Cho to head GSAM's sales and marketing effort on both the institutional and retail side in Korea. Cho is chiefly a fixed-income portfolio manager who had also looked after the sales side while the firm's operations were being built out in Seoul following the acquisition of local asset manager Macquarie-IMM in 2007.
Lim returns from Sofaer Capital, where he'd been a partner and portfolio manager of the Sofaer Capital Pacific Hedge Fund since August 2008. The $500 million firm runs six fundamental equity long/short strategies, and its main offices are in Hong Kong and London. Lim's co-portfolio manager, Terence Khoo, assumes his responsibilities.
Before joining Sofaer, Lim spent more than seven years with Goldman Sachs in Asia, holding several positions, including co-Korea branch manager, head of Korea research and chief Korea strategist. Lim has also served as head of Korea research at Merrill Lynch from 1997-2001 and worked for Samsung JP Morgan Investment Trust Management.
GSAM is likely to launch retail funds for third-party distribution in the second half of the year, says a source familiar with the firm. Lim's hire would appear to herald an offensive on this front, in addition to expanding the institutional business, he adds.
The firm already offers a Korea equity fund and various fixed-income products, but is looking to widen its scope, adds the source, so a whole plethora of products is likely to emerge.
A GSAM spokesman would not comment, apart from to say that Lim will make further hires to drive sales and marketing efforts and that his experience across investment, research and sales makes him well suited to do so.
The move will support the firm's push to create a more comprehensive onshore offering in Asian markets and challenge local incumbents, as outlined by GSAM's Asia head, Oliver Bolitho, in an interview with AsianInvestor in February.

San Clemente, fondly called Spanish Village by the Sea, sits midway between San Diego and Los Angeles in Orange County, California. Best known for scenic mountain and ocean views, San Clemente is notable for Spanish Colonial architecture. The location is clandestine, tucked away from large crowds and noisy traffic. A visit unveils an interesting waterfront and backdrop filled with green spaces, a mile-long beach backed by sandstone bluffs, myriad trail networks, and plenty of things to do for vacationing families. The beach lifestyle is predominant here and throughout Orange County. Recreational activities abound by land and sea including surfing, which is the main local sport.
First settled by Native Indians, the San Clemente community changed when the San Juan Capistrano mission settled in 1776 by both Spaniards and Native Indians who built surrounding villages. Ole Hanson – former Mayor of Seattle- bought and redesigned the area land into a retirement community in 1925, transforming it into a coastal resort. San Clemente's history was popularized mostly because of Nixon's time spent there; he purchased a historic San Clemente Spanish-style mansion peering over San Onofre and Trestles and coined The Western White House. Nixon eventually retired, settled in and penned his memoirs. The original owner, H.H. Cotton, was said to have hosted President Roosevelt several times.
The Nixon Presidential Library and Museum offers resources for kids, teachers and the general public through several mediums including a virtual library filled with document collections, White House tapes, recordings, online exhibits, and photo galleries.
The Museum in Yorba Linda, California is set on nine sprawling acres and is open to the public for tours. It is popular and a common stop for families on route to nearby Disneyland, less than 20 minutes away. President Nixon's birthplace is on site along with his helicopter. The exhibitions at the museum include rotating galleries, vintage campaign reels, a Lincoln Sitting Room replica from the White House, a model of the Nixon's post presidential home office in New Jersey, and the limousine used by Nixon, Johnson, and Ford.
San Clemente Beach boasts more than 20 acres of clean soft sand fronted by some of the best year-round surfing conditions on the coast. The beaches draw surfers looking for prime swells in San Clemente in surf spots including Trestles, Onofre, and Dohney. Glassy and smooth, the morning ocean offers a good time to get on the water with a fairly strong breeze blowing onshore around noon and continuing into the evening. Clemente waves vary from completely flat to roughly 2x overhead (9-10 feet). The bigger storms bring in the best swells; once the storm clouds roll in, so do the surfers to enjoy the aftermath the ocean throws at them. Southerly and southwesterly swells move into shore from Mexico's seasonal hurricanes in the summer months offering excellent surfing. Northern-based storms push swell once winter arrives. This time of year is the least hopeful wih other coastal areas providing better conditions than San Clemente because of the location; Catalina Island is nearby blocking out some of the waves coming in to the south-facing beach. Many surfers take advantage of the area's mild weather and stay in a local campground or in one of many rustic beach cottages found along the shore.
There about a dozen hotel and motel options in San Clemente. Beginning o the south side are choices closest to San Onofre State Beach off the San Diego Freeway. Heading north, there are hotels both off the highway on the east side and closer to the ocean on the west. These include several well-known chain hotels and the Sea Horse Resort (pictured) and Villa Del Mar where full suites with kitchenettes, high speed wireless internet, private parking, and ocean views are available.

Tiger backs sacking of his ex-swing coach for racist comment
by Evin Priest, AAP
1st Jun 2019 6:39 PM | Updated: 6:41 PM
TIGER Woods says his former swing coach, Hank Haney, "deserved" his suspension from a radio show during which he made racist comments on the eve of the US Women's Open.
On Wednesday, one day before the US Women's Open began in Charleston, South Carolina, Haney predicted a Korean would win and admitted he could not name six players on the LPGA Tour but that he would get "a bunch of them right" if he guessed "Lee".
Haney was suspended from his SiriusXM PGA Tour radio show on Thursday and he also issued an apology.
Speaking at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament in Ohio on Friday (local time), 15-time major winner Woods said: "He deserved (the suspension). You just can't look at life like that. And he obviously said what he meant, and he got what he deserved."
Woods posted an even-par 72 in Ohio to sit at two-under-par and seven shots behind 36-hole leaders Martin Kaymer (68), Troy Merritt (66) and Kyoung-Hoon Lee (67).
The outspoken 63-year-old Haney issued an apology after his comments ignited furious backlash from current and former LPGA Tour stars.
Haney - who coached Woods while he won 31 US PGA Tour titles, including six majors from 2004 and 2010 - sent a message to Golf Digest magazine admitting his comments were "insensitive".
"In an effort to make a point about the overwhelming success of Korean players on the tour, I offended people and I am sorry," Haney wrote.
"I have the biggest respect for the women who have worked so hard to reach the pinnacle of their sport, and I never meant to take away from their abilities and accomplishments."
Australia's Karrie Webb, a seven-time major winner, was among those who demanded "moron" Haney be sacked.
"Shame on you @HankHaney and Steve Johnson. @PGATOUR if you're truly serious about supporting the @lpga and growing the game these two morons won't have a voice anymore!" Webb posted on Twitter.
Webb's fellow Hall of Fame member Annika Sorenstam described the remarks as "unacceptable".
Current LPGA Tour superstar Michelle Wie posted on social media: "As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that Hank Haney made disappoint and anger me on so many levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank ... shame on you."

Pittsburgh police position a van on Forbes Avenue to block traffic to Grant Street in front of the Allegheny County Courthouse on the first day of the trial for Michael Rosfeld, a former police officer in East Pittsburgh, Pa., begins on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh police plan to move to 12-hour shifts beginning Saturday, a police spokesman said.
Closing arguments could begin Friday in the trial of former East Pittsburgh police Officer Michael Rosfeld, who is accused of shooting a fleeing Antwon Rose II on June 19.
The beefed-up security is being done to ensure that there are enough officers in Downtown Pittsburgh as well as in every zone across the city, to protect the public's safety, officials said.
Grant Street, Fourth Avenue and other streets immediately surrounding the Allegheny County Courthouse remain closed while court is in session — a move also to ensure the public's safety, officials said.


Forty-year-old Coco is a self-made man and a perfect example of social success. Starting from nothing, an immigrant, in fifteen years he's one of the most dazzling success stories of modern times thanks to his fizzy water invention.
But for Coco, the greatest moment of his life is yet to come: his son Samuel's bar mitzvah that will take place in six months. He invites everyone to the "national event of the year," and promises an amazing, never-seen-before time, pure Coco!
Too preoccupied by the prospective of showing off to the whole world at "his" party, Coco behaves excessively, almost like a madman, and doesn't see that his wife, son, mother, and other people close to him are all withdrawing. This event will become a moment of truth for him and about what being a father means.


Prime Minister Hun Sen speaks to thousands of garment workers on Wednesday at Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone, photograph posted to his Facebook page.
In a jab at the opposition CNRP and independent unions, he said he would also speak to the U.N. about launching an investigation into who led the mass protests and garment strikes that followed 2013's disputed national vote. Mr. Hun Sen also speculated that a young man whose body was never found after a January 3, 2014, protest during which military police shot and killed at least five workers may instead have been a victim of drugs.
During the 2014 protest, along Phnom Penh's industrial Veng Sreng street, a witness said he saw Khem Sophath lying on the ground bleeding profusely. His family says he has not been seen since and his body was never found. Rights groups and opposition lawmakers have criticized the government's investigation into the case, which has turned up nothing.
On Wednesday, speaking to thousands of garment workers at the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone, Mr. Hun Sen said Khem Sophath's disappearance might have had nothing to do with the protest. Instead, he turned the blame on those pushing for the investigation to move forward and said those behind the protest should be arrested.
Leaders of some of the country's independent unions were charged over the strikes and protests that hit the garment sector in the wake of the 2013 elections, though none have been jailed. In 2015, the Phnom Penh Municipal Court also questioned CNRP President Kem Sokha, the party's vice president at the time, over both the garment protests and several demonstrations the opposition led challenging the results of the election, which it accused the ruling CPP of stealing.
"One day I will talk about this issue to the United Nations, whether we should investigate and arrest the leaders of the demonstrations for questioning," Mr. Hun Sen said on Wednesday.
The prime minister also rolled out what he called the CPP's "three asks" policy to win the garment worker vote next year, describing a push to increase foreign aid, foreign investment and exports. Garment exports topped $6 billion last year and accounted for the bulk of export earnings.
Mr. Hun Sen called the opposition the "three don'ts" party for allegedly opposing all three initiatives.
The CNRP has urged foreign governments to make their aid, investments and imports contingent on human rights and democratic reforms in Cambodia.
sting the party was for any business with other countries that helped Cambodians.
"It is not like the prime minister claimed. We encourage our people to get a higher income, like urging investment in Cambodia to reduce the number of migrant workers," he said.

With F-35 decision looming, Boise Airport gets federal money to monitor noise
By Sven Berg
The Federal Aviation Administration will cover 93.75 percent of the $300,000 cost to design, acquire and install a noise-monitoring system at the Boise Airport.
The airport, which the city of Boise owns, will cover the remaining $18,750.
The monitoring system will allow the airport to compare the amount of noise planes produce when they take off and land on its runways to models that predict the impact and reach of that noise.
Some of the noise at the airport comes from military planes, including a squadron of 18 active A-10s that the Idaho Air National Guard operates. The U.S. Air Force plans to decommission all A-10s in the next five years or so, leaving the question of what aircraft, if any, will replace the A-10s at Gowen Field, the Guard's base

Hygiene is a hard standard for living now, and more and more people like to eat in restaurants that are clean. I was one of the many people, every time to eat all want to look at each one, which seems to be the most clean and go to the always in the mind feel clean restaurant will use disinfectant. As a result of people's emphasis on hygiene, disinfectants became the standard for every restaurant. As a result, the number of disinfectants is increasing, and the use of disinfectant plastic bottles is increasing.

Thumbs Up For Senators, Down For Senate
The Hartford Courant |
Thumbs up to U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney of Connecticut, both of whom have fought hard for student-loan relief for students and their families. Thanks in part to their efforts, President Obama recently signed an executive order that lets student borrowers spend no more than 10 percent of their income each month on loan repayment.
And thumbs down to the Senate, which this week voted down the Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act; it would allow those with outstanding student loan debt to refinance at the lower interest rates now offered to new borrowers.
A thumbs up, or perhaps a toes up, for the 50th anniversary of the Estelle Jones School of Dance. Ms. Jones, a world-class ballet dancer and teacher — she introduced the classical ballet program at Central Connecticut State University, among other things — started her own school in 1964. In 2005, the West Hartford-based school survived a fire that destroyed its studio and the passing of "Miss Estelle." Her daughter Cathy Triarhos is today's principal teacher and choreographer, and the school has branched from classical ballet to include jazz, tap and lyrical dance.
Thumbs up to filmmaking students at Newington High School, whose documentary movie recently won first prize at the Connecticut Student Innovation Expo. The film is about David Murphy of West Hartford, who has found a way to turn old oil barrels into inexpensive fishing vessels for use in the Third World — a noble project in itself.
Thumbs up to Trinity College's participation in Hartford's Homeownership Incentive Program. With the help of $10,000 forgivable grant from Trinity, an assistant professor and her husband recent bought a home in the city's southwest neighborhood not far from campus. Maintaining good town-gown relations has been a priority at Trinity, as it should be.
