Just an hour and a half north of Melbourne, Nagambie Lakes is one of Australia's oldest viticulture areas, with some vines dating back to the mid 19th century. This part of Victoria has long been considered a great day-trip destination for its outdoor activities — waterskiing, rowing, and sailing — and renowned wineries. Now there's reason to linger, thanks to the November debut of the Mitchelton Hotel, a 58-room resort and spa at Mitchelton Winery. With its fine-dining restaurant, the Ministry of Chocolate, and 5½ miles of trails circumnavigating the vineyard, it's the perfect base for a weekend in the region. Start your trip with a tasting on-site — Mitchelton is known for its Riesling — before venturing to other nearby wineries like Tahbilk, which has been producing quality vintages since 1861, and Goulburn Terrace, which specializes in natural wines. Other popular local vintners include McPherson Wines, David Traeger Wines, and Box Grove Vineyard. —John Scarpinato
Last summer, the museum expanded its artistic footprint by over 130,000 square feet, making it the largest contemporary art space in the country. The new Building 6 houses long-term installations by artists like James Turrell, Louise Bourgeois, and Jenny Holzer. Two new museums are still in the works for North Adams, both spearheaded by former Guggenheim director Thomas Krens. At the Global Contemporary Art Museum, curators will work directly with artists to acquire and commission site-specific pieces, while the Extreme Model Railroad & Contemporary Architecture Museum will showcase works by the likes of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, all built in miniature as part of an elaborate model train system. Design is also top-of-mind at Tourists, a modern take on the roadside motel that's set to open this summer. The resort — situated on 55 acres at the convergence of the Appalachian and Mohawk Trails — will have 48 rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows that put the focus on surrounding vistas. —Fiorella Valdesolo
No matter what your ideal getaway is, one thing is certain: the best vacations in Florida happen when you immerse yourself in the climate and culture, taking full advantage of the year-round warm weather, getting to know the native wildlife, tasting homegrown produce and Gulf-caught seafood and checking out the beaches, even from under a hat and tons of sunscreen. Book a foodie tour or pub crawl, dance the night away at a blues festival and wake up in time to make a mimosa toast along the water.
MacLaren and Forbes stake out a criminal transaction that becomes a shootout. MacLaren's team is directed to assist an older traveler team: the incident's survivors, whose leader, Rick Hall, reveals that the deal was the assigned transfer of a device with a Russian traveler team. MacLaren is shocked by the violence between teams and by Hall's jadedness. Hall's teammates, Carter and Luca, are both dying, but Marcy saves Luca by transfusing Carter's blood; Marcy suspects Luca is her brother due to his suffering from night terrors. Hall demands that he become the leader of a merged team, and demands MacLaren kill Forbes to prevent their exposure. MacLaren and Forbes arrest Hall and Luca, and the team transfers the device. Trevor quits football to focus on his grades, but is grounded. Ray demands more gambling information from Philip. Carly rebukes Jeff, who harasses Marcy. Carly and MacLaren sleep together.
During an update for historians, one of them dies from cerebral overload and is taken over by another traveler. The faction then breaks in and kidnaps the historians. A Blackbox is a device used to extract information from an unconscious or dying person and the team uses one to access a critically injured Hall to ascertain the location of historians. Jeff reaches out to his police sergeant to get his job back and is told to get help from a social worker first. Philip is questioned by the faction. Philip is given time with Kyle as a gesture of good will, who states that he sympathizes with the faction's goal, especially since he just saw another historian die during the update. Faction saves a TELL that Kyle provided to gain his support. Jeff reaches out to David to sign his therapy form for him to get his job back. David agrees to help as a social worker with Jeff's addiction, which the traveler doesn't actually have. Hall is able to relay information from when he was tracking his team's historian showing he ran into a faction team and was shot climbing a fence. He reveals that it was Kyle and Luca from his own team that shot him. Hall is able to show the team the location of the historians and the team is dispatched. While with David, Jeff receives a message to meet up at the location for tactical support. Philip is able to escape before being cornered by Kyle and Luca. Maclaren's team shows up just in time to save Philip and kills Luca and Kyle. The team saves all the historians while taking out many of the faction. Hall is told he saved them all and is able to pass away in peace knowing that. Jeff and Carly reconnect. Philip is seen throwing out his yellow pills that historians have to take.
During the summer of 2015, Islands simultaneously recorded two records: Should I Remain Here, At Sea? — a spiritual successor to the band's debut album, Return to the Sea — and Taste, a "more electronic" album "buoyed by drum machines, programming and vintage synths."[6] The albums were released on May 13, 2016 via the band's own Manqué label, reaching #21 and #23 on the Billboard Heatseeker charts, respectively.[7]
Marcy erases Kat's memory of the crash and of the preceding day, and stages her home to make it appear as if she had drunk too much the night before. Philip removes MacLaren's car from the airport, but Forbes believes it is theft. Carly extracts Philip, while Forbes and Kat search for MacLaren. An advanced traveler medical team treats MacLaren with nanites to repair his massive internal damage. Trevor undergoes a painful procedure to grow a transplant heart for MacLaren. Unconscious, MacLaren experiences memories of his host's life with Kat. He discovers that they were deeply in love, and that she very much wanted to have children. She did not because MacLaren feared losing Kat after she suffered a life-threatening miscarriage. He also sees that they began to grow apart due to MacLaren's work commitments. MacLaren recovers in time to stage a cover story for Forbes, claiming that Philip is MacLaren's confidential informant and went rogue to prove that MacLaren's life is insecure. MacLaren returns home, and tries to apologize to Kat, but she avoids him.
Tel Aviv has attracted a lot of attention for its nightlife and creative culinary scene in recent years. These days its center of gravity has shifted south, to the site of the ancient port town of Jaffa (technically part of the city itself). This month, the Setai opens in a former Ottoman prison; a new W Hotel housed in a 19th-century former convent and pilgrims' hospice is scheduled to open in March. It's just the latest in a growing list of upscale hotels, restaurants, and boutiques to arrive among the winding streets of this former fishing village. Jaffa's once-shabby flea market is now populated by a number of high-end antique dealerships, which sit alongside trendy cafés and bars — many offering live music into the night. Don't miss Maskit, an iconic Israeli fashion house known for its embroidery that has been recently reincarnated after closing in the 1990s. Numerous interesting chefs have also set up shop among Jaffa's churches, mosques, and archaeological sites. Try Beit Kandinof, a restaurant housed in a 17th-century building, where creative dishes like artichoke-and-pesto bruschetta are served alongside local art exhibits. —Sara Toth Stub
The Emerald Isle has seen a rush of American visitors recently, spurred by favorable exchange rates and increased airlift. If you haven't yet made the trip, now's the time to go. Adare Manor, a hotel set in a grand 19th-century mansion on 840 acres of rolling County Limerick countryside, reopened in November after an 18-month overhaul. The picturesque estate now has a new 42-room wing, a redesigned golf course, and the first La Mer Spa in the British Isles. Ireland's whiskey scene has been quietly blooming for the last decade, and recently historic estates have embraced the trend. In August, Slane Castle in County Meath opened its new distillery to the public, and later this year, the iconic Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow will debut its own craft facility. In Dublin, Pearse Lyons, a wealthy Irishman with Kentucky-bourbon bona fides, recently opened his namesake distillery in the former St. James's Church, and more whiskey destinations with visitor centers are soon to come from the Dublin Liberties and Roe & Co. And now that Luas, Dublin's light rail system, has finally completed its latest expansion, getting around the city is a breeze — the $433-million project has linked two lines and added new stops near many of the city center's most popular sights. —Lila Battis
Continental islands are bodies of land that lie on the continental shelf of a continent.[10] Examples are Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sakhalin, Taiwan and Hainan off Asia; New Guinea, Tasmania, and Kangaroo Island off Australia; Great Britain, Ireland, and Sicily off Europe; Greenland, Newfoundland, Long Island, and Sable Island off North America; and Barbados, the Falkland Islands, and Trinidad off South America.
In 2004, the St. Paul and Travelers Companies merged and renamed itself St. Paul Travelers, with the headquarters set in St. Paul, Minnesota.[16] In August of that year, it was charged of misleading statements associated with the merger.[17][18] Despite many assurances from CEO Jay Fishman that the newly formed company would retain the St. Paul name, the corporate name only lasted until 2007, when the company repurchased the rights to the famous red umbrella logo from Citigroup and readopted it as its main corporate symbol, while also changing the corporate name to The Travelers Companies.[19][20][21][22]
Over the past few years, South Korea's Gangwon Province has shed its sleepy past and come into its own as a prime winter-sports destination — a transformation that will take center stage during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics (February 9–25). Ahead of the big event, the region will debut a new high-speed rail line that will whisk travelers from Incheon International Airport to the resort town in just 70 minutes, making it easier to access the Taebaek Mountains' panoramic pistes and tourist-friendly attractions. Powder hounds will want to lodge at the InterContinental Alpensia Pyeongchang Resort, which commands a prime location at the foot of the Alpensia ski slopes, steps from two Olympic-class runs, and is one of a handful of hotels built for the games. Break from all the outdoor action at the Ocean 700 indoor water park, complete with wave pools and tubing rides. —Talia Avakian
U.S. travelers have historically overlooked Mauritius in favor of other Indian Ocean destinations like the Seychelles and Maldives. That could all change, though, now that this remote, idyllic island some 1,200 miles off the African coast has become easier to reach. A flurry of new airline services launched at the end of 2017: KLM began servicing Mauritius from Amsterdam, and British carrier Thomas Cook Airlines introduced biweekly flights in November. Upon arrival, travelers can take in dreamy lagoon views from the newly reopened One&Only Le Saint Géran, fresh off a multimillion-dollar renovation. Every room and suite now has a private terrace or balcony, marble baths with cascade showers, and sophisticated teak, stone, and leather accents. Guests can also look forward to updated dining experiences — like lunch spot La Pointe, which grills fresh-caught seafood over firewood and coconut embers, or open-air restaurant La Terrasse, which offers Mauritian specialties. Unchanged at Le Saint Géran is its aura of exclusivity, thanks to the resort's unique position on a private peninsula jutting out from the island's eastern shore. —Melanie Lieberman

In a time of complete virtualization of knowledge, science and monetary flows the virtual sculpture "vellum" transfers the memory of one specific urban rhythm to another locality. The multiple LED screens (56,6 x 1 meters / 5,1 x 4,1 m / 35 x 1,2 m + 3 times 1 x 6 m) of the COMO at SKT Tower (Seoul, South Korea) provide several thinly sliced views into this gigantic translucent formation, revealing time and space within the otherwise invisible as well as impossible structure.
The seismic refraction of the cities Jena (Germany), the hometown of the artist and Seoul, the first appearance of "vellum" will create a multi-dimensional alloy that will migrate after the exhibition at Art Center Nabi to other places. All future exhibitions will continuously accumulate into a memorization foam of different cities, a quasi-crystalline representation of our flattened world which is accompanied by a mosaic of field recordings of the artist capturing the genius loci.

Here in the Midwest, we have actually gotten some normal spring weather. I hope you have a lovely weekend and these little tidbits might give you a running start on it.
Here is a variation on the theme of fitness funnies. It is always fascinating (to me) to look at some of the old ads and the way goods and services were sold. Times have sure changed.
I hope that you and yours have a Wonder-ful Christmas! Thought you might enjoy this artwork that was actually sent by Wondy's creators back in the 1940's.
Eat less; move more; live longer has been the mantra of this blog nearly from the beginning. I believe that our actions and health results are all connected. So, I have never had much sympathy with the fat but fit concept. So, I was pleased to run across this research from Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge.

Chappelles Show: The Lost Episodes
Sean O'Neal
Hearing that Chappelle was worried about who was laughing and why is upsetting. His comedy had always seemed "inclusive," making racism "safe" to explore in front of mixed audiences.
Chappelle's Show
Airtime: Sundays, 9pm ET
Cast: Dave Chappelle, Charlie Murphy, Donnell Rawlings
Subtitle: The Lost Episodes
Network: Comedy Central
Editor's note: Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes (Uncensored) is available on DVD as of 25 July.
As everyone knows, Dave Chappelle's disappearance just before the third season premiere of Chappelle's Show was a national crisis. Major news outlets treated the story with gravity usually reserved for "Amber Alerts," tracking specious eyewitness accounts and speculating on his motives. As Chappelle joked during his recent stand-up tour, "When Newsweek magazine says you're addicted to crack, you start to believe it yourself."
How did this happen? Not so long ago, Chappelle was a moderately successful comedian, best known for inspiring fans to holler, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" apropos of nothing. Now, however, it appears that Chappelle's crossover success has eclipsed even that of Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. But where Pryor and Murphy's humor bubbled with rage, Chappelle's hostility is a mock one, in a way that seems unthreatening. Even for the infamous "Clayton Bigsby" sketch (Chappelle as a blind black man leading the Ku Klux Klan), the comedian's guffawing while talking to the audience before and after the skit defused potential viewer discomfort. Chappelle's visible glee at his own boundary pushing let white audiences laugh along with him.
But then, as Chappelle tells it, he began to suspect that white viewers were laughing for the wrong reasons. He recalled for Oprah an incident during the third season's taping, when a white spectator's overzealous laughing made him worry. Chappelle stopped production and subsequently rejected Comedy Central's $50 million, essentially taking his ball and going home.
Prior to the Oprah interview (and a similar one with James Lipton), many fans believed network pressures drove Chappelle away, if not the self-imposed pressure of wanting to top himself. Now, as Christopher Farley reported in Time, Chappelle
wondered if the new season of his show had gone from sending up stereotypes to merely reinforcing them. "When he laughed, it made me uncomfortable," says Chappelle. "As a matter of fact, that was the last thing I shot before I told myself I gotta take f----- time out after this. Because my head almost exploded."
Hearing that Chappelle was worried about who was laughing and why is upsetting. His comedy had always seemed "inclusive," making racism "safe" to explore in front of mixed audiences. Chappelle's Show viewers believed they were in on the joke. To pull it away from them like this was tantamount to saying they didn't get it. For white audiences in particular, this called their enjoyment of the show into question.
And so the Lost Episodes, recently aired on Comedy Central and now available on DVD, produce a sense of loss above all else. The first one opens with the familiar introduction of Chappelle, but after a pause, the announcer says, "I guess he's not coming," then brings out Chappelle's most visible supporting players, Donnell Rawlings and Charlie Murphy. Despite their commendable efforts, the star's absence hangs over the show like a bust of Pallas. Rawlings and Murphy even talk about him with a bittersweet reverence, as if he's died. And only one sketch mentions recent events directly: told that Dave has abruptly left for Africa, Rawlings collapses into Murphy's arms, yelling, "I'm broke, bitch!"
As collections of sketches cobbled together, the episodes are understandably uneven. An extended physical comedy bit about Gary Coleman as a security guard feels dated and another in which a TV interrupts Chappelle's lovemaking, thin. Still other moments are as sharp as any in earlier seasons, evidence that Chappelle and his writers had plenty of lightning left in the bottle. His unexpected success is the subject of many of the funniest moments. In the opening scene, he sits in a barber's chair while a television announcer reports the $50 million paycheck. As the other customers begin giving Dave the eye, the price of his haircut jumps from $8 to $11,000. In another sketch, Dave meets with the "Head of Show Business." Asked what he has in mind for the future, Dave says he plans to "stay real" and "speak his mind," causing the Head to laugh uproariously. Clearly, Chappelle was working through qualms about maintaining credibility following his much-publicized pay raise.
Dave Chappelle - The Black Munsters [From Lost Episodes]
He was also working through the thorny issue of racism in his typically irreverent way. In a parody of "The Munsters," Chappelle, Murphy, and Rawlings play black monsters unsure whether they're being persecuted as blacks or monsters. The bit condemns both racism and those who see racism even when, as Murphy states in the introduction, they are being "assholes." After Murphy's Frankenstein goes on a rampage, tearing off a coworker's arm in the process, he chides the people cowering before him, saying, "You shouldn't look at me and see a black man, but just a man." An African American secretary sniffs, "N----r, you a Frankenstein!" It's funny and also makes a point, owning up to the way knee-jerk accusations of racism can be used to distract attention from other problems.
It's tempting to say Chappelle has made such accusations with regard to his decision to leave the show. The opening sketch of the first episode, which ends with a character asking Dave, "Why did you need to do a third season anyway? They're only going to say it's not as good as the first two," supports such a theory. The Lost Episodes includes the sketch that reportedly brought on the break. Chappelle plays an assortment of pixies (black, Hispanic, Asian, and white) taunting members of their respective races with stereotypical anxieties (the black man worries about eating fried chicken, the white man about penis size). Looking at it here, the sketch seems no more incendiary than previous Chappelle numbers, like "The Racial Draft" or "Reparations." For all its controversy, the joke is funny because it offends and opens dialogue at the same time, just what Chappelle's Show did so well.
The Lost Episodes also includes a segment where Murphy and Rawlings discuss the sketch with the audience, in a way that emulates a "last day of class" openness. Unsurprisingly, the audience members are generally positive about Chappelle and the sketch. One man complains that the white pixie doesn't voice as many stereotypes as the others. Murphy asks, "What if we made a hundred white pixie clips? Would that change anything?" The audience concedes that it would not.
Brushing aside these loftier concerns, one woman sums up the whole mess:
I don't think it's the responsibility of this show to educate everyone in the world. It's a comedy show. And even if it is being a responsible comedy show, no matter how responsible you are, you're not going to be able to educate everyone in the world. So I think you have to stick what your true goal is: making people laugh.
It's a fitting epitaph for the late, lamented Chappelle's Show. Let's hope he was watching.

Alfons de Tous, president de la Generalitat de Catalunya en el període 1396 - 1413 en substitució de Miquel de Santjoan que es va absentar de Catalunya el 1396 per anar en una ambaixada pel rei i no va tornar a residir al principat.

Inicia la seva carrera a la seu de Tortosa, d'on va ser rector de l'església de Sant Mateu. Va estar al servei del papa Benet XIII d'Avinyó fent d'ambaixador seu a Castella. Ocupava el càrrec de rector de l'església de Santa Maria del Pi de Barcelona, quan fou nomenat diputat a Corts. Posteriorment, aconseguia una canongia a la Seu de Barcelona i va ser auditor de la Pia Almoina. En 1408 el rei Martí l'Humà el va proposar per ser el nou bisbe de Barcelona, però el Papa va nomenar Francesc de Blanes. Posteriorment, i per pressions del mateix rei, va accedir al bisbat d'Elna. En 1410, es traslladà a la Seu de Vic, on el 1417 disposà que totes les parròquies portessin un registre de baptismes.

Durant el Cisma d'Occident, es va alinear amb el Papa Benet XIII d'Avinyó fins al Concili de Constança, moment en el qual Ferran d'Antequera va retirar el seu suport a aquest candidat papal. Alfons de Tous va intentar convèncer Benet, sense èxit, perquè hi renunciés.

De la seva activitat en el càrrec de diputat eclesiàstic de la Diputació del General cal destacar que prengué part en el Parlament per tractar la successió de Martí l'Humà, de qui havia estat conseller. Una vegada coronat Ferran d'Antequera, presidí les Corts de Montblanc de 1414. Tant en aquestes corts com a les de Sant Cugat de 1419, va intentar influir, amb poc èxit, en el comportament del nou rei Trastàmara perquè seguís la línia d'actuació dels seus antecessors.

El 3 de desembre de 1400 Alfons de Tous va comprar el Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya per 38.500 sous, donant-li el caràcter institucional de seu de la Generalitat i essent el primer president a habitar-lo.

text: Our journey at Natyashala began in 2006 in a home studio in York PA. The dance studio started with eight students and has now grown to approximately 70 students ranging from four to eighteen year olds and our classes are conducted in both York and Lancaster. It has been an amazing journey over the last decade as several students from my first batch have now completed their arangetram and have grown into excellent dancers and performers. Our goal has been to pass on our Indian heritage and culture of dance and yoga to the next generation of youth so that they can be proud of their cultural heritage. In the process of performing various Indian classical dances the students also get familiar with different Indian languages and get a deeper appreciation of the values and traditions that symbolize the Indian culture. The students learn to be socially involved with other students by developing strong friendships. With the organization having now grown to 70 students over various age groups, several of our senior students have become role models and a source of inspiration to their junior peers. The most important thing about the classes is the laughter and smiles that we see in our enthusiastic team of performers.

We have a tendency to propose and check a coherent all-optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (AO-OFDM) system, based mostly on all-optical (de)multiplexing and coherent detection, for multiterabit per second (multi-Tbit/s) passive optical networks (PONs). The proposed approach allows us to greatly increase the downstream information rate per user and extend the quality single-mode fiber reach for future long-reach applications. The compliance with a next-generation PON layout is guaranteed thanks to the exploitation of cyclic arrayed waveguide gratings. 5-user transmission with twelve.5 Gbaud quadrature section shift keying modulation per user (one hundred twenty five Gbit/s downstream capacity per wavelength) over a more than 40 km link has been successfully demonstrated.

AWS for Industries
Simplify Manufacturing Execution System deployment and management using the iBASEt Solumina QuickStart
by Preet Virk and Sung Kim | on 02 JUL 2020 | in Automotive, Energy (Oil & Gas), Energy (Oil & Gas), Industries, Manufacturing, Technical How-to | Permalink | Comments | Share
The implementation, management and support of a Manufacturing Execution System has traditionally been quite challenging. Obstacles to deployment include complex systems integration, scarce local resources (hardware, subject matter experts, downtime to implement, etc.) and lack of sufficient budget to implement in a timely manner. Once installed, time and resources must be invested to accommodate production modifications, staffing turnover, and supply chain disruptions, among other disruptive events.
iBASEt has 30+ years of experience in highly engineered, regulated industries. The iBASEt Solumina QuickStart simplifies the complex by empowering customers to implement, run and manage a Manufacturing Execution System from the AWS cloud. By using shared hardware resources in a secure environment, resource and other constraints can be easily overcome. Standardized deployment with pre-configured processes and open APIs easily overcome traditional integration challenges.
iBASEt customers gain real-time visibility, take control, and drive velocity across their operations and extended value chain. With the iBASEt Solumina QuickStart, you can leverage three decades to experience and industry knowledge – gained by working closely with industry-leaders such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Rolls Royce, and Pratt & Whitney – to simplify what has traditionally been a challenging task of deploying and managing a world-class Manufacturing Execution System.
This article will explain how this different approach is now possible with the iBASEt Solumina QuickStart, what steps should be taken as part of the deployment, as well as provide a future vision of how to add new capabilities and manage product upgrades easily through the use of microservices within the modular architecture of the iBASEt Solumina solution portfolio.
Overview of solution
Solumina streamlines manufacturing productivity, quality, and compliance. It integrates quality management as part of the production process and simplifies the execution of maintenance, repair, and overhaul processes. This Quick Start builds a Solumina environment on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud and sets up the following:
A highly available architecture that spans three Availability Zones
A virtual private cloud (VPC) configured with public and private subnets, according to AWS best practices, to provide you with your own virtual network. You can also deploy Solumina into an existing VPC.
In the public subnets:
Managed network address translation (NAT) gateways to allow outbound internet access for resources in the private subnets
A Linux bastion host in an Auto Scaling group to allow inbound Secure Shell (SSH) access to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances in public and private subnets
In the private subnets, installed as high-availability clusters:
iBASEt's proprietary software
Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES)
A MongoDB resources
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)
An Application Load Balancer to route traffic to the Solumina web application over HTTPS
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) making it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane.
An Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket for storing Quick Start assets
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to provide on-demand scaling and management of AWS Cloud services and resources.
To deploy the Solumina environment, follow the instructions in the deployment guide. The deployment process includes these steps:
Sign in to your AWS account, and choose one of the following options to launch the AWS CloudFormation template.
Launch the template to deploy the iBASEt Digital Suite into a new VPC.
Launch the template to deploy the iBASEt Digital Suite into an existing VPC.
Check the AWS Region. This is where the network infrastructure for iBASEt will be built. The template is launched in the US East (Ohio) Region by default. This deployment includes Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), which is not currently supported in all AWS Regions. For a current list of supported Regions, see the AWS Service Endpoints webpage. This Quick Start does not support shared subnets. The subnets require NAT gateways in their routing tables to allow the instances to download packages and software without exposing them to the internet.
This Quick Start reference deployment guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying iBASEt Solumina Manufacturing Execution System (MES) on the AWS Cloud. You can also see the source code for this Quick Start on GitHub.

NBA Warriors Festspiele continues to go devastating Damian Lillard and James Harden
The Warriors of Golden State (in English: Golden State Warriors or GSW, Warriors of the Golden State ) are a Californian NBA basketball franchise based in San Francisco, in the San Francisco Bay location. She advances in the West Seminar, in the Pacific Department, and also disputes his residence video games at Chase Center.
Established in 1946 under the name of Warriors of Philly, the franchise business wins the very first edition of the BAA Championship, forefather of the NBA, in 1947. She relocated to San Francisco in 1962, where she takes the name of Warriors of San Francisco up until In 1971, and saw evolve from the 1960s and also 1970s basketball celebrities: Rick Barry, Paul Ariz in, Nate Thurmond and also especially Wilt Chamberlain, took into consideration among the largest basketball as well as background.
She knows problems thereafter, before winning a 4th title in the 2014-2015 period. During the 2015-2016 period, they set the record of the biggest variety of routine period victories, 73 video games earned, flying the document of 72 games earned by Chicago Bulls during their 1995-1996 period. The franchise wins its fifth title during the 2016-2017 period, encountering the Cleveland riders in the last, then restates this efficiency versus the very same opponent the list below year, led by Stephen Curry, Play Thompson, Raymond Environment-friendly as well as Kevin.
It is renowned for its extremely offending design (Run and Gun): it has been one of the very best strikes in the organization for several years. It frequently utilizes a told Small Round system, with smaller sized players, to boost the dexterity, rate and also three-point shot, at the cost of physical toughness as well as play in the racket.
The Golden State Warriors celebrated the next superior victory. The Brooklyn Nets must be trembling against the Detroit Pistons for a long time. James Harden and Damian Lillard continue to run after their form and the Orlando Magic lay the next weak appearance.
Detroit Pistons (1-8) — Brooklyn Nets (6-3) 90:96 (Box score)
What an unexpected exciting duel in the Little Caesars Arena! The pistons remained long in the game, which lay on their strong rookie Made Cunningham and the next weak appearance of James Harden. The Beard placed directly a frustrating start, with the good defensive of Cunningham struggling and made three turnover in the first five minutes.
The No.1-pick also made a much selfish impression against the Nets from the start against the 76ers against the Nets from the beginning, trade a threesome early and recovered again and again to the basket.
At the start of the second quarter, Kevin Durant and Harden sat for the first time on the bench and the pistons used the day of the hour and took the first time with a 7-0 run. After more than 18 minutes of effective playing, harden finally met his first Field Goal, while Cunningham picked up his third foul and thus spent the rest of the half-time on the bench.
Nevertheless, the pistons made it finished, with 39 points at 33.3 percent litters made from the field at half-time to lie back. The Nets made it even worse, even due to the solid pistons-defensive, even worse and met only 32.5 percent out of the field, including awful odds of KD and Harden (together 4/17 for 16 points). So we also saw the first match this season, where both teams did not come over 40 meters.
Steve Nash seemed to have found the right words in the halftime, because the half-field offensive of the Nets looked much more creative after the site change. The result: a faster 8: 0 run and an early timeout of Diane Casey. And then KD and harden finally got hot and fired the pistons three threesomes and a middle distance jumper in not even two minutes around the ears — first double-digit leadership.
The third quarter was finally the crucial. The Nets met over 15/19 out of the field (79 percent!) And sat down in front of the final section with +16. But the pistons came back, especially thanks to an ever-increasing Cunningham, who shortened with a beautiful Step Back-Threesome on -5, marriage Corey Joseph with another threesome to 86:88 from pistons view with four minutes Play placed. Then KD took the scepter in the hand and finally shot Detroit with some irresistible pull pops from the middle distance. Blake s grip may not remain unmentioned, which moved in crunch time an important offensive foul and crucially tapped a ball after a mistake.
KD was in the end with 29 points (12/27 FG) also clear best thrower of the Nets and also grabbed 10 rebounds. Marcus Aldridge gave the Nets again from the bank some good minutes (and points — 16, 6/9), harden was at the end with a triple double (13, 10.10), but only 3 of his 10 litters met, makes itself 9 Turnover and a complete dropout.
Cunningham s 17 points (6/17) were the top value of the pistons, Kelly Olenek was with 14 points (5/11) and 10 rebounds of the most important bankers. Jeremy Grant was completely logged out and did not meet his 9 litters (5 points).
Orlando Magic (2-8) — San Antonio Spurs (3-6) 89: 102 (Box score)
After the weak appearance against the Celtics, the Magic could not increase against the Spurs. They caught a very bad start and maneuver quickly into a double-digit residue. Nearly 30 percent met the team from Disneyland in the first quarter and, above all, in the person of Wendell Carter Jr. (1/10 FG) made some very bad degrees. So it did not surge that the Magic was already clear after the first quarter.
And nothing should change about it. Neither Franz Wagner (7, 3/11 FG), nor Rookie colleague Galen Songs (12, 4/11) found in the game, Moritz Wagner was not allowed to try it. Especially with the hard defensive of the Spurs, the young team had problems, 18 turnover were just too much in the sum at the end.
Cole Anthony was still the best Magic scorer (8/18) with 21 meters. For the second time in series for the second time in series on her top rebounder Jakob Poll had to renounce (Health and Safety Protocol), the scoring distributed evenly on the shoulders of Eldon Johnson and DENOTE Murray (20), which also both good quotas had (8/15, 9/16). Thaddeus Young was coming from the bench, however, the secret star of the game. The veteran scored 12 points (6/7), grabbed 4 rebounds, distributed 5 assists, brought 2 steals and blocked 3 throws.

Washington Wizards (6-3) — Memphis Grizzlies (5-4) 115: 87 (Box score)
Bock-strong appearance of the Wizards! The team from the capital may show the best game of their previous season and let weak Grizzlies no chance at all.
Washington joined a favor start and met over 70 percent out of the field over the first quarter. In doing so, with Daniel Afford (4/4), Spencer Dinwiddie (2/2) and Bradley Deal (3/3) three starters were even perfect.
And they stayed with the foot on the gas. With a 13-point lead, they went into the pause and then started a 23: 6 run in the middle of the third quarter, which caused the final decision.
Seven Wizards scored two-digit, Montreal Harrell (18, 9/11 FG) and DEAL (17, 7/12) were the most successful. In addition, as a team, they met strongly 58.3 percent from the field and 40 percent of Downtown, after they had recently hit the Raptors no flowerpot.
Speaking of a flowerpot make, for Memphis it was an evening forgetting. Yes Moran and Learn Jackson Jr. ended at the end of 24 points at 8/31 from the field and 1/8 of Downtown. The only advantage of this blowout defeat from Grizzlies view? Taylor Jenkins could use all 14 players, until Rookie John Kochab was even allowed to play at least ten minutes.

Зби́гнев Нена́цкий (, настоящее имя Зби́гнев То́маш Нови́цкий (; 1 января 1929, Лодзь — 23 сентября 1994, Моронг) — польский писатель.

«Детский Ненацкий» — автор цикла повестей о пане Самоходике (ряд из них экранизирован в Польше, по советскому телевидению шёл сериал «Пан Самоходик и тамплиеры» со Станиславом Микульским в главной роли).

«Взрослый Ненацкий» — автор романов для взрослых. Более известен «Раз в год в Скиролавках» (русский перевод Т. Мачеяк опубликован в журнале «Пульс» в сокращенном варианте) — многоплановое полотно, в котором детективная канва (вопрос о том, кто же маньяк-убийца) отступает на второй план перед блестяще воссоздаваемой канвой жизни обитателей Скиролавок (врача, писателя, священника), бурлящих там страстей и т. п. Второй роман — «Великий лес» — по мнению некоторых поклонников Ненацкого, даже более значительное произведение, чем «Скиролавки» — повествование о человеке, о преображении, о Лесе, способном убить — и возродить.

Q: Trigger and update to a row in SQL Server after it's been updated Is this the best way to keep a simple track of changes to a database row:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_121s]
ON  [dbo].[121s]
  AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;

-- Insert statements for trigger here

update dbo.[121s]
set modified=getdate()
where id in
(select distinct ID from Inserted)

END

So any update to a row in [121s] will result in the modified column being updated.
It works, but I'm not sure if it's the best way to achieve this.
I'm a litle confused over this line:
(select distinct ID from Inserted)

...and how it knows it's getting the correct row ID.
Thanks for any confirmation/clarification,
Mark

A: inserted is a pseudo-table and it definitely contains all the right rows that were affected by the UPDATE statement (and I assume DISTINCT isn't necessary, if ID a primary key - though it's hard to tell what the table is with a name like 121s). Whether all of them actually had changed values is another thing you may consider validating before applying the modified date/time. Barring that, I would probably do it this way:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_121s]
ON [dbo].[121s]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
  SET NOCOUNT ON;

  UPDATE t SET modified = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
   FROM dbo.[121s] AS t
   WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM inserted WHERE ID = t.ID);
   -- WHERE EXISTS is same as INNER JOIN inserted AS i ON t.ID = i.ID;
END
GO

If you want to have a 100% foolproof guarantee that they're all updated with the same timestamp (though I don't know if I've ever seen multiple values in this use case):
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_121s]
ON [dbo].[121s]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
  SET NOCOUNT ON;

  DECLARE @ts DATETIME;
  SET @ts = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

  UPDATE t SET modified = @ts
   FROM dbo.[121s] AS t
  INNER JOIN inserted AS i
  ON t.ID = i.ID;
END
GO

And if you want to ensure that the update only occurs if, say, the column foo changed value, you could say:
  UPDATE t SET modified = @ts
   FROM dbo.[121s] AS t
   INNER JOIN inserted AS i
   ON t.ID = i.ID
   AND t.foo <> i.foo;

That's the general pattern, but it becomes more complex if foo is nullable, since SQL Server won't be able to match on rows where one side has a value and the other doesn't (or both don't). In that case you would do this:
   AND
   (
     t.foo <> i.foo
     OR (t.foo IS NULL AND i.foo IS NOT NULL)
     OR (t.foo IS NOT NULL AND i.foo IS NULL)
   );

Some people will say "I can just use COALESCE or ISNULL against some magic value" like this:
WHERE COALESCE(t.foo, 'magic') <> COALESCE(i.foo, 'magic')

...and I will warn you against this, because you'll constantly be searching for some magic value that can't exist in the data.

A: Inserted is a table that contains the rows affected by the operation which fired the trigger(insert/update). So your trigger here is correct. If the Id is primary key, then you do not need the distinct(select id from Inserted is enough). If Id is not primary key, then your trigger is false, as you might end up updating more then you should.

A: Though many, not just on Stackoverflow, but across the world will tell you triggers are evil, I'm going to say they hold value when they aren't abused. Here, if you wanted to use this trigger, it seems valid and the Inserted table contains the rows that were updated by the statement that fired this trigger - it's correct except that DISTINCT can probably be removed if ID is the primary key.
However, another option if you have the flexibility, is to use a timestamp column instead. But, do not be confused, the timestamp column does not correlate to a date and time. So if you need the date and time, stick with what's there.

Q: PHP API script inserting into MySQL database twice After running the following script from the browser I am finding it is inserting the data into my MySQL database twice. I am only making one call in my code and everything seems to be in order.

EDIT: After further testing I've found this is only an issue until the ID being auto incremented by my database reaches a value of 7, then it operates properly.
EDIT 2: This appears to be caused by browser pre-fetching caused by me using the same URL enough times for the browser to log it in "most visited pages". When a new tab was opened it prefetched the URL adding unwanted rows to the DB. Exposing a critical weakness of a direct-to-database GET web API.
EDIT 3: I decided to force CLI interaction to get around this problem. This removes the issue, but disallows URL/GET based access to the script.

A: CLI can be used to avoid such scenarios where you do not want the web to invoke an action on your application. You can use Symphony Console component which is available on packagist and can be easily integrated using composer.
If you do not wish to enforce CLI strictly, you can detect the prefetch requests from header values and ignore those requests.
Chrome/Safari send an X-Purpose: preview and Mozilla sends X-moz: prefetch HTTP header when pre-fetching a web page.


It is well known that museums can have a significant positive impact on our quality of life. Art museums provide aesthetically pleasing environments for us to explore our identities. Science centers and natural history museums pique our curiosity, inspiring our quests for discovery. History museums offer portals to our shared past, allowing us to make sense of the present.
Not only do museums provide existential benefits, but they can also contribute to our wellbeing. In other words, a trip to the museum—like jogging or eating your vegetables—is a healthy choice.
It is vital that museums actively promote mental wellbeing and build upon studies like the one done by the Arteffact Project if they wish to fulfill their obligation to their communities.

One of the beautiful aspects of Holy Mass is that the entire Body of Christ is united as one. Not only are we united through Christ in the Eucharist, but no matter where you are in the world, the same prayers and readings are offered in each and every Catholic Church. We, as the Body of Christ, are united through the communal prayers of the Mass.
But did you know that the Holy Mass is not the only place where the Body of Christ can pray as one? The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is a set of prayers that mark the hours of the day, sanctifying the day with prayer. It is prayed by all priests and religious, but the laity are encouraged to pray it as well, as it is a prayer for the entire Church.
The Liturgy of the Hours is intended to become the prayer of the whole People of God. In it Christ himself "continues his priestly work through his Church." His members participate according to their own place in the Church and the circumstances of their lives: priests devoted to the pastoral ministry, because they are called to remain diligent in prayer and the service of the word; religious, by the charism of their consecrated lives; all the faithful as much as possible. … The laity, too, are encouraged to recite the divine office, either with the priests, or among themselves, or even individually.
"The Liturgy of the Hours is for all. The laity are not required to pray the Office, but they are encouraged to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. And when we pray this way we pray as Jesus prayed, because we are praying the Psalms of the Church, the way Jesus as a pious first-century Palestinian Jew would have prayed each and every day. So we are imitating Christ.

Mercedes GLE SUV: what would you like to read next?
The Mercedes GLE is a large, luxurious SUV with a stylish, high-tech cabin that's big enough to seat seven. It's a car you'll want to consider if you fancy something a little more eye-catching than the likes of the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 and aren't bothered about your SUV feeling particularly sporty to drive.
There'll be no missing the Mercedes GLE in the company car park, that's for sure. From its whopping front grille to its giant air intakes and 20-inch alloy wheels, everything looks suitably imposing. But it's a shame you have to pay extra if you want it painted a colour that isn't just black or white.
Thankfully, the Mercedes GLE's interior isn't such a monochrome affair. You get plenty of lovely brushed metal trims, shiny black plastics and gorgeous unvarnished wood inserts, which lend it a seriously classy air.
To help make sure all this wood and leather doesn't make the Mercedes GLE feel like a stuffy old country club, it also comes with one of the coolest-looking infotainment systems around. Its two huge screens merge together to form one wide wraparound display through which you control everything from the climate control to the built-in sat-nav. Despite its flashy looks, it's still not quite as easy to use as the BMW X5's simpler iDrive system, though.
At least getting comfy in the Mercedes GLE won't present any problems. The leather seats come with plenty of adjustment as standard and there's room for seriously lofty drivers to get comfortable. It's a similar story behind, but the cramped sixth and seventh seats – which come as standard in all but 300d cars – are only really big enough for kids.
Mercedes has some great tech these days, including its augmented reality sat-nav and semi-autonomous driving aids. Naturally, the GLE features both
Much roomier, however, is the Mercedes GLE's boot. It's bigger than the BMW X5's and easily large enough to hold a family's luggage for a week away. The back seats fold down at the press of a button and form an almost completely flat load bay – perfect if you ever find yourself needing to carry some bulky furniture.
If hauling heavy loads sounds like something you'll be doing regularly, the 400d diesel model is the GLE to go for. It's pretty smooth, doesn't cost the earth to run yet has decent pulling power. There's also a more affordable diesel model with a bit less power and a perkier petrol model that's faster, but also quite a bit thirstier.
Whichever engine you pick, you'll want to upgrade your GLE with the optional air suspension. This helps make it quieter and more comfortable to drive – especially around town. There's also a suite of driver assistance systems worth considering that'll accelerate, brake and even steer for you – just the thing to take the sting out of long motorway journeys.
The Audi Q7 is still a smidge more relaxing to travel in, however, and the BMW X5 is more fun to drive on a twisty country road. But, if it's a stylish and spacious SUV you're looking for, then the Mercedes GLE is well worth considering.
The Mercedes GLE has an attractive interior that looks much more interesting than that of an Audi Q7 or BMW X5. A few cheap plastics do let the side down, however
All but entry-level Mercedes GLE 300d models come with seven seats as standard, but the cramped rearmost row is only big enough for kids
Okay, the rearmost seats are very much occasional, but used as such, the GLE offers a very generous amount of space to four tall adults and their luggage inside
Every Mercedes GLE comes with four-way electric front seats and the steering wheel adjusts for height and reach, so you'll be able to find a comfortable driving position easily. If you fancy memory functions for both front seats – handy if you share your car with someone else – you'll have to fork out for the rather expensive Premium Equipment Line.
Even without this feature, you'll find there's ample head and legroom in the front of the Mercedes GLE. The same goes for the row behind, where two six-foot-tall adults have plenty of space to stretch out, even with the optional panoramic glass roof fitted.
There's more space for carrying three passengers in the back at once in the GLE than you get in the BMW X5, and there's plenty of space to lift in and secure a bulky child seat using the standard Isofix anchor points.
Besides entry-level 300d cars, every Mercedes GLE comes with a third row of back seats. This also adds electric adjustment for the middle row so the outer passengers can slide and recline their seats individually.
These middle seats also move all the way forward at the touch of a button (albeit very slowly) to let two more passengers climb in the back. Unfortunately, these rearmost seats are only just big enough for kids – unlike in the Audi Q7 where two adults can get relatively comfortable for short journeys.
It's all good news when it comes to storage space. Both of the GLE's front door bins are generous in size, easily taking a large water bottle, while beneath a sliding cover in front of the infotainment system's control pad you'll find two decent cup holders and a further small cubby for keys or a phone.
Then, beneath the central armrest that pops open at the push of a button, you'll find a wide, deep cubby and, if you've added it as an option, a wireless charging ledge for your smartphone. The GLE's glovebox is also a decent size, but if you pick the optional Premium Plus Equipment line with the built-in air freshener a perfume dispenser occupies quite a bit of space.
Finally, both rear door bins are also a good size, while there are a couple of sturdy pockets on the front seats backs for storing slimmer items. There's also a pair of USB C ports between the front seats and a folding rear armrest with two built-in cupholders.
The Mercedes GLE has 690 litres of bootspace with the third row of seats folded down into the boot floor. That's around 5 percent more space than you get in a BMW X5, but more than 10 percent less than the capacious Audi Q7 can carry.
In reality, the GLE's boot is still extremely generous, easily swallowing three large suitcases, a couple of pushchairs or a set of golf clubs. It also has no loading lip, is a good square shape and comes with hooks and nets that make securing smaller items a doddle. There's also a little extra space under the boot floor for hiding away a few soft bags.
If you pick a seven-seat model, the GLE's rearmost seats fold electrically into the boot floor. The middle row then also folds electrically forward in a 40:20:40 configuration and lies almost flat. With just the middle seat flipped down, you can carry two back-seat passengers and some long luggage – such as skis – at once.
With all but the Mercedes GLE's front seats folded, there's ample space to carry a few bikes with both their wheels attached.
Comfort and quiet come before agility
The best-driving Mercedes GLE is yet to come – the 300d isn't quite comfortable enough and the 450 petrol isn't particularly frugal. Both are pleasingly quiet though
Large SUVs should be about luxurious comfort – sharp handling is a bonus. Happily, the Mercedes GLE does comfort well. If you buy the right one
Two engines will be available from launch – a 2.0-litre, 245hp four-cylinder diesel called the 300d and a six-cylinder 450 petrol with 367hp, plus a 22hp electric boost assistance. Both come with all-wheel drive as standard, as well as a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
The 300d is no speed demon, but it's quick enough to overtake slow-moving traffic and sprint down motorway sliproads. It also returns respectable fuel economy (more the 40mpg is possible if driven carefully), but is a little noisy when you accelerate hard. That said, it settles down nicely on the motorway once you're up to speed.
The 450 petrol is quicker when you put your foot down, yet also smoother when idling and when you're pottering around town. It can't run on electricity alone, nor is there a plug-in option because there's, well, no plug, but its 48-volt electrical system with 'EQ' boost assistance helps take the strain off the engine when accelerating. Even then, the 450 feels swift rather than truly speedy. It'll also demand more fuel than the 300d.
There will soon be a 340hp, six-cylinder diesel 400d, too. This suits the GLE better than the other two engines, providing strong performance, smooth running and fuel economy somewhere between the 300d and 450 petrol. When the lesser six-cylinder 350d with 286hp (on which the 400d is based) also arrives, it'll likely be the sweet spot of the entire GLE range.
A diesel plug-in hybrid called the 300de, a 560 V8 petrol and faster AMG-tuned GLE 53 and 63 models will also go on sale in the future.
The Mercedes GLE is all about comfort and quiet rather than agility, so it's perhaps no surprise that a BMW X5 feels more agile around corners. The GLE leans more and its light steering doesn't have quite the same connected feeling as the X5's.
It's a little easier to drive in town thanks to its tighter turning circle and light steering, but you'll still wince every time you need to guide your GLE through a width restrictor. At least you get a reversing camera and a 360-degree surround-view camera system to help you avoid kerbing your lovely alloy wheels.
How comfortable the Mercedes GLE is depends on which model you buy – air suspension is the key. Crucially, you can't have it on the entry-level 300d and, as a result, it feels a little firm over rough roads and potholes – even with the adaptive dampers in their most comfortable setting. The 450 petrol gets air suspension as standard and offers better comfort at all speeds, no matter which driving mode you're in. Despite this, the Audi Q7 is still slightly more comfortable.
Still, the GLE does a good job of keeping wind and road noise at bay at higher speeds, which all works towards making it feel very luxurious and calming to drive.
Mercedes' optional Driving Assistance package also includes one of the best semi-autonomous systems on sale. It'll accelerate, brake and steer you within the white lines automatically confidently at set speeds, while the pack also includes things like traffic sign recognition and blind spot monitoring.
The Mercedes GLE can also be made more capable off-road with Mercedes' Off-road Package which includes an under guard for the engine and floor, or you can pay extra for the Towing Package to increases the GLE's towing limit from 2700kg to 3500kg. Unfortunately, this pack – which also includes an electrically folding tow bar and steering assistance to help you reverse with a trailer attached – is only available on 450 petrol cars.

6th generation fighter plane, helicopter of the future: the United Kingdom is multiplying its agreements
Yesterday, the United Kingdom announced the launch of a new cooperation with Japan. This time, the aim is to develop a new sensor, called Jaguar, which will be common to the sixth-generation Tempest and F-X fighters. Another agreement was also signed yesterday between the United States and the United Kingdom. They have agreed to share information on their future helicopters, with a view to their interoperability.
Jaguar sensor for 6th generation fighters
Britain and Japan have just concluded a partnership relating to the development of a joint sensor dedicated to electronic warfare for the 6th generation fighters each country is developing: the F-X on the Japanese side and the Tempest under British prime contracting. The Jaguar sensor, as designated in the agreement, will be developed jointly with teams in both countries, allowing each to build up expertise while reducing development costs.
The sensor, described as universal radio frequency, is intended to identify threats and locate them while preventing the operation of surveillance technologies exploited by adversaries. It would therefore be not only a passive electronic warfare set, capable of detecting active radars in the vicinity, but also an offensive electronic warfare equipment since it must also be able to prohibit their proper functioning.
Lasting five years, it is Leonardo UK that will be in charge of the project for the British part, the Japanese industrialist identified has not been revealed.

The sequel to an initial agreement
Japan and Britain have already validated a much larger partnership around the engine common to both aircraft, so further pooling makes sense.
The UK has planned to invest $2.7 billion over the next four years in the program. London has already committed about $40.7 million to planning, creating a digital design and developing innovative manufacturing, as well as $270 million to build a test engine at the Rolls-Royce factory in Bristol.
Collaboration is key to success
Two other countries are involved around the U.K. on the Tempest program: Sweden with Saab and Italy with Leonardo, as successors to the JAS 39 Gripen and Eurofighter respectively.
Japan, on the other hand, is alone on the project of its Mitsubishi F-X despite support from American industrialists, explaining a desire by Tokyo to reduce research and development costs by pooling the creation of the engines and the Jaguar system.
India, which Britain also wanted to bring on board the Tempest, on the other hand, refused any collaboration.

UK/US Approach on Future Helicopters
An agreement was also signed on Feb. 15 to help prepare for operational cooperation between future helicopters operated by the United States and the United Kingdom. The partnership is centered around several objectives:
Identify cost, schedule and risk reduction opportunities on future helicopter programs.
Increase rotary wing interoperability between the two armed forces.
Evaluate the feasibility, identify and assess the risks associated with pursuing future cooperation in research, development, test and evaluation, production, sustainment and follow-on development of future helicopters.
Provide both nations with information for use in their respective national decision-making processes.
Promote future helicopter cooperation (research, development, test and evaluation).
Develop plans for cooperation in future phases of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program.
At this time, this is in no way a UK participation in the US FVL program. Officially, this program is only for the United States, although on September 10, 2021, FVL program director Brigadier General Walter Rugen had announced that the FVL was of interest to several foreign countries but did not name them.
