Tikkakoski M/44 – fiński pistolet maszynowy z okresu II wojny światowej. Bezlicencyjna kopia sowieckiego PPS.

W 1943 w ręce fińskich żołnierzy wpadły pierwsze egzemplarze nowego sowieckiego pistoletu maszynowego – PPS-42. Nowa konstrukcja wzbudziła duże zainteresowanie fińskich wojskowych. W tym czasie przepisowym pistoletem armii fińskiej był Suomi. Była to broń udana, ale o zbyt dużej masie i produkowana czaso- i materiałochłonnymi metodami. Tymczasem PPS-42 nie dość, że lżejszy od Suomi był produkowany nowocześniejszymi metodami. Dlatego po testach postanowiono przystosować PPS do potrzeb armii fińskiej i uruchomić jego produkcję seryjną. Główną modyfikacją było przystosowanie broni do zasilania nabojem 9 mm Parabellum ze standardowych magazynków pm Suomi. W związku z tym broń wyposażono w lufę kalibru 9 mm, a zamek zmodyfikowano aby mógł dosyłać naboje z magazynków z jednopozycyjnym wyprowadzeniem (magazynek PPS miał dwupozycyjne wyprowadzenia). Zmianom uległa także mieszcząca gniazdo magazynka komora spustowa w której pojawiło się wycięcie umożliwiające przyłączanie czterorzędowych magazynków pudełkowych i magazynków bębnowych.

Po testach nowa broń została przyjęta do uzbrojenia. Z uwagi na obciążenie zamówieniami zakładów Sako i VKT produkcję broni miała podjąć prywatna firma Tikkakoski Oy należąca do Williego Daugsa. Początkowo planowano produkcję 50 000 egzemplarzy pistoletu maszynowego M/44, ale ostatecznie do końca 1945 powstało ich tylko 10 000. Później z wyprodukowanych w czasie wojny podzespołów złożono jeszcze kilkaset pistoletów maszynowych tego typu. Pomimo wyprodukowania kilku tysięcy egzemplarzy M/44 broń tego typu nie zdążyła trafić w ręce żołnierzy przed wycofaniem się Finlandii z wojny. Po wojnie produkcji nie kontynuowano z uwagi na posiadanie w arsenale 40 000 egzemplarzy pistoletu maszynowego Suomi i braku potrzeby produkcji nowych pistoletów maszynowych. W latach 50., kiedy postanowiono wycofać z uzbrojenia większość pm Suomi tańszym rozwiązaniem niż wznowienie produkcji M/44 okazała się wymiana barterowa w ramach której armia fińska przekazała firmie Interarmco 74 381 karabinów Carcano M/38, 217 karabinów maszynowych M/21 i 2 117 karabinów maszynowych M/15 i otrzymała w zamian 76 115 pistoletów maszynowych Sten w wersjach Mk II i Mk III plus 379 500 magazynków. W latach 70. M/44 został wycofany z uzbrojenia oddziałów liniowych i trafił do magazynów mobilizacyjnych, a w latach 90. XX wieku został ostatecznie wycofany z uzbrojenia.

Konstrukcja
Pistolet maszynowy Tikkakoski M/44 działał na zasadzie wykorzystania energii odrzutu zamka swobodnego (strzelanie z zamka otwartego). Zasilany był z dwurzędowego magazynka pudełkowego z jednorzędowym wyprowadzeniem o pojemności 20, 36 lub 50 nabojów, albo czterorzędowego magazynka pudełkowego o pojemności 40 naboi lub magazynka bębnowego o pojemności 71 naboi. Mechanizm uderzeniowy igliczny ze stałą iglicą osadzoną w zamku. Mechanizm spustowy tylko na ogień ciągły. Wyrzutnikiem łusek był przedni koniec żerdzi sprężyny powrotnej. Bezpiecznik od przypadkowych wystrzałów po przesunięciu unieruchamia zaczep zamka i zamek w obu położeniach: przednim i tylnym. Lufa otoczona była osłoną, której przednia część pełniła funkcję hamulca wylotowego i osłabiacza podrzutu. Kolba metalowa, składana pod spód broni.

Q: disable auto-prettier in react-native app I'm using vim as my default editor which complains when some external tool changes the code while the buffer is open. I recently started working on a react-native app but every time i save the file it runs prettier in the background before pushing the app to the device, changing the files causing my vim to misbehave.
I initialized a default react-native app using
npx react-native init <project name>

I already had vim configured to run prettier on save but there is some external prettier run competing, and vim is losing. I can't find where this autolinting on save is configured anywhere in the files though.
Where can i disable this?

A: I think following doc will give some solution for your problem

*Prettier and ESLint

The assembly elections to the 81-member House began on November 30 and will end on December 20.
CEO Choubey said that about 40,000 polling personnel have been deputed to conduct smooth and peaceful voting.
He said the polling personnel were apart from the deployment of security forces across the 17 constituencies, which have left-wing extremism pockets.
Out of the total 7,016 polling stations set up for the third-phase, 1,008 are marked as 'critical' and 543 'sensitive' in Naxal-affected areas.
A total of 1,119 polling stations are 'critical' and 2,672 polling stations are 'sensitive' in non-Naxal affected areas.
There are 13,504 ballot units, 8,772 controlling units and 9,123 VVPAT in the 17 seats, with double ballot units set up in nine of the constituencies as there are sixteen or more candidates in the fray.

US Expects 'Major' NKorea Disarmament by 2020
By Paul Ebeling on June 13, 2018 Comments Off on US Expects 'Major' NKorea Disarmament by 2020
The United States hopes to achieve "major disarmament" by NKorea within the next 2½ years, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday, a day after President Donald Trump met NKorean leader Kim Jong Un for a historic Summit.
President Trump and Chairman Kim met in Singapore Tuesday and reached a short agreement that reaffirmed the North's commitment to "work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," but provided no details on when Pyongyang would give up nuclear arms or how that might be verified.
Secretary Pompeo was in Seoul to brief SKorean officials on the Summit.
Speaking to a small group of reporters and asked if he would like to accomplish major nuclear disarmament within Trump's current term, which ends on 20 January 2021.
Secretary Pompeo replied:
"Oh yes, most definitively. Absolutely … you used the term major, major disarmament, something like that? We're hopeful that we can achieve that in the 2-1/2 years."
"I am … confident they understand that there will be in-depth verification," Secretary Pompeo said, saying the initial agreement between Trump and Kim had not captured all of what had been agreed by the 2 sides.
"Not all of that work appeared in the final document. But lots of other places where there were understandings reached, we couldn't reduce them to writing, so that means there's still some work to do, but there was a great deal of work done that is beyond what was seen in the final document that will be the place that we will begin when we return to our conversations," Secretary Pompeo said after flying to Seoul from Singapore.
Trump, who returned to Washington early on Wednesday, hailed the meeting with Kim, the first between a sitting US President and a NKorean leader, as a success that had removed the NKorean threat.
Critics at home said the joint statement by the two leaders was short on detail and that Trump had made too many concessions to Kim.
On the way forward, Secretary Pompeo said, "I don't know exactly what the timing will be for our next conversation with the North Koreans. I would anticipate it will be fairly quickly after we return to our home countries."
"I don't know exactly what form that will take, but I am very confident that by some time in the next week or so we will begin the engagement."

Scarborough: Krugman foments "left-wing hate"
The MSNBC host accuses the New York Times columnist of encouraging left-wing extremism.
Vincent Rossmeier
June 12, 2009 11:01PM (UTC)
In the wake of this week's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum, pundits on both sides of the political spectrum have been arguing over responsibility, and even whether the alleged shooter, white supremicist James Von Brunn, should be considered a conservative or a liberal.
So far, Fox News' Glenn Beck gets the honors for the most bizarre response to the murder. Then there's MSNBC's morning host Joe Scarborough, who suggested Friday that New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, is inciting "left-wing hate."
Reacting to a column in which Krugman argued, "Today, as in the early years of the Clinton administration but to an even greater extent, right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment," Scarborough had this to say :
As somebody that has to sort through a lot of hate mail, a lot of hate email, a lot of viciousness. And I must say and I could print them out for people, Paul Krugman's name is attached to a lot of those emails ... They use Paul Krugman as their shield for their left-wing hate. This is because Paul Krugman, like a lot of extremists on the right, they only see their side. They have a closed-minded world view. And so Paul Krugman uses this tragedy, uses this death to try to knock down his opponents on the right ... Getting people on both sides to exploit this death for their own purposes is disturbing.
Scarborough accused Krugman and former President Bill Clinton of playing partisan politics with high-profile murders like this. Of course, Scarborough was doing the very same thing.
It's not the first time Scarborough has equated Krugman with hate. Last November, Scarborough called Krugman a "hateful, hateful man." Krugman has appeared on Scarborough's show before to criticize the talk show's grasp of economic policy.
Comparing Krugman to Beck or Rush Limbaugh is illogical, obviously. And besides, the blame game both Scarborough and Krugman are engaging in doesn't serve any purpose. It certainly doesn't contribute to our understanding of why an individual such as Von Brunn thought the way he did, nor why other people who believe similar things don't resort to violence.
Ultimately, the Republican Party may be more attractive to people with certain extremist views -- on abortion and white supremacy, for instance -- but that shouldn't immediately lead to the conclusion that those who act violently in the name of those causes do so as a consequence of being Republicans, or because they watch Fox News.

How and when will the world end? Are we in the end times? Who is the lawless one of 2 Thessalonians? Are you Pre-Trib, Post -Trib, Mid -Trib? Are you Pre, Post, or A-Millennial ?
If those names don't mean anything to you, read on. They have often generated more heat than light in modern Evangelicalism. Fur is ruffled and sparks fly as Christians of good faith disagree over the "correct" End Times theology.
While we at SC have our various opinions, we do believe that when the Lord of the Church Comes Again in Glory, he will correct us all with his truth. Until that time, we will agree to disagree, while arguing vigorously for our positions. We hope that the environment of charity and love will prevail while Christ is held in honor by all.

Dudley Brown was an Oakland City Councilman, Alameda County Supervisor and owner of a men's clothing store.
Brown was born in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on January 5,1835 and came to California in 1872, settling in Sacramento before moving to Oakland two years later. In 1881, he founded the men's clothing store Brown & McKinnon at 1018 Broadway Street in downtown Oaklnad. In 1906, the store moved to San Pablo remained until his business partner died a few years later.
Brown served on the Oakland City Council from 1887 to 1889 representing the Fifth Ward. His dsitrict comprised everything east of Broadway, south of Twentieth and Delger Streets, north of Tenth Street, and west of the dividing line between Oakland Township and Brooklyn Township.
After losing election, he successfully ran for the Alameda County Board of Supervisors where he championed the development of infrastructure, particularly the growing need for roads. He served from 1890-1894 and then became a member of the Grand Jury for the United States District Court of Northern California, where he remained until 1903.
He was one of the early organizers of the Merchants' Exchange and served as President. The Exchange association whose primary objective was to bring together the merchants of Oakland, bring new manufacturing to the City, improve transportation and work with city and county government to improve conditions for local merchants.
He died two weeks after suffering a stroke while on his way home. He was survived by his wife Angenette and two daughters, Carrie Brown Dexter and Mrs. Benjamin Brittin.
Louis de Rome (May 14, 1854 – January 7, 1910) owned the de Rome Foundry in San Francisco.
De Rome was born in Buffalo, News York, in 1854 and came with his parents to California in 1858. He was reared, educated and learned his trade as a brass molder in San Francisco, eventually becoming the head brass molder at the Garratt Brass Works for eight years.
He eventually founded the Globe Brass and Bell Foundry, of which he is the practical business manager. In 1880, he joined with Neil C. Whyte in founding the Whyte and de Rome Foundry. Over the course of his career, de Rome was responsible for forging many iconic structures, including twenty-seven large bronze lamp-posts for the new City Hall, numerous bells for fire stations, the bell at the San Miguel Mission, the Lick Observatory Medallion and statuary, the Native Sons Fountain in San Francisco, the Robert Louis Stevenson statue in Portsmouth Square, the Mechanics Fountain at Market & Battery, the President McKinley bust in Berkeley, the Robert Burns Monument in Golden Gate Park and the Christ Of The Andes statue in Santa Clara.
The Whyte & De Rome Foundry also cast one of the most iconic structures at Mountain View Cemetery, the big, bronze elk that sits atop a tumulus in Plot 32. The elk was commissioned by the Oakland Lodge Number 171 of Elks to mark their burial plot at the cemetery. It was completed in 1896. The elk was modeled after an actual animal in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park known as "Father Elk" who had been moved to the park from the wild. The sculptor was Frank Hapersberger and the cast was completed at the in Oakland. The burial plot where the elk stands is known as "Elks Rest," which is common term for Elks burial plots and they exist in almost every state.
In 1900, de Rome was badly burned, including his eyes, when he was experimenting with Acetylene gas, which was commonly used in welding.
Louis DeRome died January 7, 1910, from heart problems that started aboard the ferry returning from San Francisco in April 1908.
Lydia Flood Jackson was born in Brooklyn (now part of Oakland) in 1862. She was a businesswoman, advocate for women's rights and racial equality.
Flood's mother, Elizabeth Thorn Scott Flood, led the 19th Century campaign for desegregated education in California and founded the state's first African American school in Sacramento in 1854. Her father Isaac Flood, one of the first African American residents of Oakland, also fought for education and equality for blacks. In 1871, he led the successful fight to admit black students into the Alameda County schools. Her brother George was believed to be the first African-American child born in Oakland in 1857.
In 1872, she became the first African American child to attend the newly integrated John Swett School in Oakland. Flood continued her education attending night school at Oakland High School and married William Jackson. In part because of the efforts of her parents, the black schools were closed in 1875 and integrated schools became the law in California in 1880.
An entrepreneur and inventor, Lydia Flood founded Flood Toilet Creams, a successful West Coast cosmetic business which manufactured toiletries, creams, and perfumes.
She was also a political activist who traveled to Mexico, the West Indies, and South America on speaking engagements. She rallied audiences with her calls for democracy and questioning of white male supremacy in her speeches. Jackson challenged all women to question stereotypical roles that limited their options. She spoke at the 1918 state women's convention in favor of suffrage. She was present at the 80th anniversary of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, a church her parents had helped found in 1858 (then Shiloh AME).
At the time of her death at age 101, newspapers claimed she was the oldest native of Oakland. Along with her parents, she is buried in an unmarked grave in the Elks Plot.
Gustave Hegardt was born in Sweden in 1859 and came to the U.S. as a boy. He graduated from several technical schools and was naturalized as a kkU.S. citizen in Cook County, Illinois in 1885. His earliest work records show him employed with the Illinois Corps of Engineers in 1887. The Portland city directory shows him working as a "U.S. Assistant Engineer" based in Ft. Stevens near the Oregon/Washington border as early as 1888. For fourteen years he supervised the construction of locks, jetties and fortifications on the Columbia River.
Hegardt moved to Portland in 1905 and founded the consulting firm Hegardt & Clarke, which specialized in land surveys, irrigation systems, and reclamation projects. In 1911, he was appointed as chief engineer of the newly established Portland Commission of Public Docks, which later merged with the Port of Portland.
In 1925, Oakland voters approved bonds for an expanded port with an autonomous Port commission. In 1926, the newly created Port of Oakland hired Hegardt as its first General Manager along with his assistant from Portland, Arthur Abel.
Hegardt had been on a three member board of consulting engineers appointed by the Oakland City Council who created a general plan for harbor improvements in Oakland. The other members were Charles Leeds, consulting engineer at the Port of Los Angeles and Charles Marx, a professor of engineering at Stanford University. The trio recommended a series of new priorities for the Port, which included a wharf and watershed on the western waterfront, a pier with a double transit shed on the estuary, a pier and shed between Clay and Washington, and a larger facility near Brooklyn Basin. The total cost was estimated at $9,960,000 ($135 million in 2017 dollars).
The trio also recommended that Port administration be "vested in a board or commission of competent, responsible men, serving without compensation and free from political interference." Oakland Mayor John L. Davie opposed the expansion of the Port, believing that it could not compete with San Francisco and wanting to turn it over to private development. The first Board of Port Commissioners were sworn in on February 12, 1927 and included former Oakland Mayor and Governor George Pardee (who is also buried at Mountain View Cemetery).
After meeting with Commissioner LeRoy Goodrich, who outlined his duties, he made his first order of business the construction of two double-fill piers at the foot of Grove Street and Clay Street, which were 520' long and 450' long respectively. The cost of the piers was approximately $1,000,000 (approximately $13.5 million in 2017 dollars). He also made the dredging of the inner harbor a top priority. Under Hegardt's leadership, the Port rapidly developed new terminals to accommodate larger cargo vessels, which served the Port for 40 years until the advent of containerized shipping.
Hegardt and Abel also initiated studies in 1927 for a municipal airport in Oakland. Construction began later that year and was completed in 1929 and became Northern California's largest and best-equipped airport. In a July 5, 1927 report to the Board, Hegard wrote, "The grading of a runway, 150 feet wide and 7000 feet long, was completed on June 25th, in readiness for the Oakland-Hawaiian flight by an Army and a private plane...The details of this flight have been so fully covered by the press that it seems unnecessary to make further comments thereon in this report." The flight he references was that of the Fokker Bird of Paradise, piloted by Army Lieutenants Lester Maitland and Albert Hegenberger.
When Hegardt stepped down as general manager in 1932, he was replaced by Arthur Abel. Hegard remained with the Port as a consulting engineer and was paid $400/month ($5,400/month in 2017 dollars). He died in 1942 and was honored by the Board of Port Commissioners.
Captain Edwin Webster Woodward was a Civil War veteran and elected official in Oakland, San Francisco and Napa.
Woodward was born in Tunbridge, Vermont on January 4, 1839 and migrated to Weaverville, California in 1859, He worked in mining and merchandising until the Civil war broke out in 1861, when he joined the 2nd Massachusetts Cavalry (also known as "The California 100." Also known as the CAL 100, the regiment was led by Captain J. Sewell Reed and was the first company from California to report for active duty in the field. The soldiers were assigned to the Second Massachusetts Cavalry and engaged in many hard-fought battles, including those of the battle of Winchester, Berryville, Pike, Charlestown, Opequan Creek, Front Royal, Snake Mountain, Waynesboro, Cedar Creek, Gordonsville, South Ana, Southside Railroad and Appomattox Courthouse, and participated in the same engagements in the Shenandoah Valley (where future President William McKinley also fought).
Woodward remained in active service until the end of the war and the surrender of the Confederate armies at Appomattox. For gallant service he was promoted lieutenant, captain and major. He remained active in Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) posts his entire life and was involved in erecting the monument in honor of G.A.R. soldiers at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, which was unveiled on Memorial day, May 30, 1893.
After the war he returned to California and worked in the real estate and auction business in Oakland, becoming senior partner of the firm of Woodward & Taggart, who handled large lines of property in the Bay Area. He also established a real estate business in St. Helena, was active in the creation of the wine industry in Napa County and helped organize the Bank of St. Helena.
He also partnered with James Gamble in the firm Woodward & Gamble, which built the western connection of telegraph lines which stretched across the continent. Their telegraph lines connected San Francisco to Salt Lake City.
In 1898 he was appointed by Oakland Mayor W. R. Thomas to replace Aaron Fibush, who had resigned. His honeymoon on the City Council was short-lived, as after just ten days he was shouted down by fellow council members and chased from the chambers by an angry crowd after he voted to raise water rates. He was taken to the city prison where he found safe refuge until the angry mob receded.
Apparently unfazed by his prior experience in public office, he accepted an appointment as San Francisco's Notary Public by Governor Henry Gage in 1901. By all accounts, his service in that office went smoothly. He was eventually appointed by subsequent governors as Notary Public for Alameda County and Napa County.
Woodward was married to the former Addie O. Rogers, daughter of the late Henry Rogers, former proprietor of the Boston Journal.

Trinity delivers quality and style ahead of schedule
Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung (left) inaugurating the official key handover ceremony of The Zest Serviced Apartment @ Kinrara 9 and opening of Trinity's RM7mil access ramp at Bandar Kinrara.
The Trinity Group team shifted into high gear as 2011 drew to a close - and delivered a full schedule ahead of time for the much-awaited launch of The Zest Serviced Apartment @ Kinrara 9. Dreamed up to be the next prime address in Bandar Kinrara 9 offering an integrated location for family, work, business, leisure, and entertainment – The Zest @ Kinrara 9 became an anticipated reality at the official Key Handover Ceremony yesterday.
The company is right ahead of target with the completion of an integrated development that consisted of 20 units of shop offices, 24 units of retail outlets and 720 units of serviced apartments in the Bandar Kinrara 9 township development – with infusions of modern and contemporary architectural design.
"The launch of The Zest @ Kinrara 9 marks our foray as a serious contender and comprehensive player offering a gamut of services in the real estate industry," says Trinity Group managing director Datuk Neoh Soo Keat.
Trinity Group's long-standing commitment towards "building communities and enriching lives" is strongly reflected in its developer journey as it grew from strength to strength with each project. Its credo echoes the Malaysian government's dedication towards ensuring quality and affordable housing to meet the needs of Malaysia's growing population by matching demand and supply as well as providing efficient public utilities and services as well as a clean and livable environment.
Datuk Neoh adds that Trinity Group wishes to redefine property development by bringing landmark projects that incorporate the best design, quality, technology and timely delivery. "As a forward thinking and customer-driven developer, we will ensure that all our new products offerings will set new benchmarks in terms of quality and value creation for our customers while remaining true to our aim of pursuing business activities in an ecologically-friendly manner."
Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung, present to officiate The Zest Point's Key Handover Ceremony comments that it is imperative for the Government and private sector to work together in order to create a competitive and sustainable housing industry.
"The partnership will benefit the homeowners as well as housing developers. I am pleased to see Trinity Group taking a leadership role in raising the industry bar for private developers and employing the six thrusts in the National Housing Policy (NHP) as its guiding principle to achieving conducive and liveable environments and shared community infrastructure and foundation," Datuk Seri Chor adds.
Being a resident or business owner in one of the units at The Zest Point means all-year access to amenities. Trinity Group doesn't take community enhancement lightly; its service-focused vision spanning beyond property development is attested by its series of community projects e.g. a RM7mil access ramp, a RM3mil access road for The Z, and Malaysia's first air-conditioned bus stop.
The RM7mil access ramp at The Zest @ Kinrara 9 intersecting with the Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil is officially open for the convenience of road users and public
The ramp, linking the opposite side of the road and The Zest @ Kinrara 9 with the Bukit Jalil Expressway to lessen traffic congestion and commuting time, is launched for public usage today by Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung. Community development, to Trinity Group, is an on-going pursue. "We do not – and will not stop here. In the near future, we will undertake more development and community projects that are aimed to improve and enrich people's lives", exclaims by Datuk Neoh. "We are dedicated to provide the best to our customers with better living experiences."

Police officer to appear in court to face assault charge
A police officer is due to appear in court to face an assault charge relating to a traffic stop.
Constable Charlie Thompson, of Essex Police, is due to attend Basildon Crown Court on Thursday to face the charge of assault by beating.
The charge relates to an incident that occurred after police had stopped a man for a suspected driving offence on the A127 near the Mayflower Retail Park in Basildon on January 19 this year.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) began an investigation following a mandatory conduct referral from Essex Police in February.
In June the IOPC passed a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorised the charge contrary to section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident involving an Essex Police officer which took place in Basildon on Wednesday January 19.
"Once we were made aware of the incident, the officer was placed on restricted duties and a mandatory referral was made to the IOPC.
"The IOPC made the decision to independently investigate the incident.
"Essex Police continues to fully co-operate with the IOPC investigation and now awaits the outcome of legal proceedings."
