Q: Media files end up in in a pycharm subdirectory when uploading I am building a Django application on a Windows system where the user should be able to upload images.
But somehow my uploades files end up in my Program Files directory at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 4.5.1\jre\jre\bin\WebApp\media\TestData\static\images

I just can't understand why I get this result. I would like to store these Images on another disk such as:
G:\General\Users\Me\WebApp\media

I have been trying to change my MEDIA_ROOT but without any success. Im not even sure if that's were the problem is or if I don't fully understand how uploading with Django works.
These are my settings:
import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname('__file__')))

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".
    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles'),
)

Don't know if it matters but i am using a ModelForm from a model with an Imagefield.

A: Your BASE_DIR should look like:
os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

There is really no way to set up exact time frames as to when Push can run. Example, you cannot setup I want Push to run at 11am, 2pm and 7:32pm every day. This is not found in either actually. The Push Polling section in AppStudio controls how often we check to see whether a new push message needs to be sent out. What actually controls the frequency of when push notifications are sent out is the Push config file that is located within the Push install (typically located somewhere on the AppServer but can be installed anywhere). Stage 1 Stage 2 and Stage 3 value settings within the Push config file will control how often stage 1 will run, then how often stage 2 will run then stage 3 (which sends out the notification to users).
Note that these settings are like a timeframe. Stage 1 runs every x hours, stage 2 runs every y hours, stage 3 runs every z hours.

Last week I told you about Northlandz, the model railroad located in Flemington, New Jersey. I showed you some trains and the spectacular scenery and settings that were created by the owner.
This week I will show you some other interesting parts of Northlandz.
There is a room where there is a control panel to run the trains on schedule.
Northlandz contains a doll museum called La Peep Doll House, and very creative it is!
I see Groucho Marx and Louis Armstrong. Are some of the others Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball? Who is the second blonde?
I want to visit here!
It's a very interesting place!
Wonderful miniatures. I would love to visit sometime.
Perhaps one day you can!
That's a huge control panel for the trains.
The doll house reminds me of the Thorne Miniature Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago.
It was fun being a little girl . . .
Wow - that's really cool!
Thank you! I'll be over!
That's quite a place. Didn't exist when I lived in NJ. I have no idea who the second blonde is in that one picture. Recognized everyone else. What a neat set up they have with the trains and dolls. I would love to visit there someday. When I was growing up we went often to Flemington to the Stangl dish factory. My mother and grandmother would buy seconds. I still have some of my grandmother's Stangl dishes on shelves in my kitchen and dining room. When we got married our first set of dishes came from Stangl. There was also a doll factory, but as I recall it was more like a doll store. We would go and look, but never bought. The dolls were collectibles. I think they had china heads, but I'm not sure. I was pretty young. My sister might remember better than me. I know the Stangl factory closed many years ago. I googled Stangl and came up with this site: http://stanglpottery.org/ I'm off to check it out.
Never heard of Stangl before, but after googling Stangl it looks very pretty!

Q: How to deallocate subviews upon window closing I am building an iOS app using Rubymotion.
I have started to use the Apple Instruments to detect memory leaks.
When I open a new window in my app and that window contains a tableview and then
I close the window down Instruments still says it is "living".
So the living variable for the tableview keeps increasing for each time I open and close the window.
I thought that all views on the closing window would be removed upon closing but it is not.
I have also tried this to "null" it out but that did not difference (I am using ProMotion).
def will_dismiss

 @table = nil

end

Any ideas how to deallocate subviews?

A: Using of instance variables and autorelease pool is the best advice from RubyMotion for correcting "automatic memory management". They still improving GC (and trying to be closer to standart Ruby GC) similar to ARC by design. So, if you want to be sure some var will be collected by GC, you have to place it's usage inside autorelease pool block. This approach guarantees cleaning and rescue from unexpected memory leaks.

   @table

The vast majority of civil cases never go to trial. Some are dismissed because the pleadings are deficient and others are closed at a later stage, but many are settled. A settlement can feel like a win or a loss, depending on the figure. If the defendant can make the plaintiff "go away" for a nominal value, then that's probably a win. If the plaintiff obtains a big check, it's a different story.
Still, a question that both clients and lawyers struggle with is "When should I settle?" We too often rely on our gut instinct or simply consider the wrong factors when evaluating this option. Fortunately, there's a precise way of deciding when to settle that anyone can use — it just takes a little practice.
First, let's be clear that deciding when to settle is a separate issue from negotiating. You should negotiate as well as you can to get the best possible offer and then start your settlement analysis. Here we'll start by considering the options presented to the plaintiff in a lawsuit where the plaintiff is seeking money damages and has received a settlement offer.
Now that the plaintiff has an offer, she has a binary decision: to settle or not. Each option will result in a different outcome, and the task at hand is to decide which outcome is better for your client, considering all of the plaintiff's needs and interests. Don't forget to think through other, non-monetary concerns as well, like the need to avoid suffering additional stress or, in contrast, the need to obtain public vindication in the form of a verdict.
All of the plaintiff's interests matter and must be taken into account when making a decision. But here's the rub: to run a precise analysis, you need to put a price tag on everything.
Here's how it works. You need to start by building a "tree" of possible realities that branch from the decision of whether to settle or not. Each possibility will then be assigned a value and a probability. By completing this exercise, you can literally compute whether it makes sense to settle for a particular offer.
The tree of possibilities has two main branches: (1) the branch where you settle and (2) the branch where you don't. The value of the settlement branch is fairly easy to compute, as it will obviously equal the monetary amount of the settlement. The branch where you don't settle is more interesting.
If you don't settle, the future is uncertain. Several different outcomes could occur. In this scenario, the two main outcomes to consider are (1) going to trial and winning or (2) going to trial and losing. The first analytical step is to make your best guess of the probability of these different options. If you have a strong case, you might decide that you have a 60% chance of winning if you go to trial — and hence, a 40% chance of losing.
Next, for each outcome, compute the value (in dollars) of each category of benefits and costs — i.e., the amount of the verdict, the costs award, the stresses of trial, out-of-pocket costs of proceeding to trial, and the cost of the time required to go to trial. You can have more than two possible scenarios in the branch where you don't settle, but the probabilities of the different scenarios must total 100%.
100% probability if chosen; value of $150,000.
In this very simplistic scenario, the value of settling is $150,000, whereas the expected value of not settling is $128,000. In this case, you should advise your client to settle.
You'll generally want to put these calculation into a spreadsheet (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, AirTable, Coda) so you can fiddle with the probabilities, add more categories of benefits and costs, and even add net present value calculations. You can see a simple example that I created in Google Sheets here.
In my experience, deciding whether to settle can be an emotionally wrenching process in many cases. In fact, settlement negotiations almost always are emotional for the parties on both sides. Given what's at stake, anything that can help the parties clarify their decision-making process is valuable. By applying some simple math, you can create a model for making a decision that takes your client's needs and goals into account.

Home Regions Americas Will US-Iran Relations Witness a Change Under a Biden Administration?
Will US-Iran Relations Witness a Change Under a Biden Administration?
Tridivesh Singh Maini

On Dec. 21, 2020, Foreign Ministers of countries (France, Germany, the UK, Iran, China and Russia) which are signatories to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)/Iran Nuclear Agreement held a virtual meeting. While Iran was urged to not violate its commitments to the deal, ministers expressed optimism with regard to the prospects of the U.S. returning to the JCPOA, and also offered to facilitate the same.
U.S. President-elect, Joe Biden has already stated that he is willing to get the U.S. back to the JCPOA, provided Iran sticks to its nuclear compliance (in an interview with the New York Times on Dec. 2, 2020 Biden reiterated this point). Iran on its part has stated that once economic sanctions are removed it would promptly reverse any steps in violation of the deal and return to full compliance. In a media interview in November, 2020 Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said:
"If Mr Biden is willing to fulfill U.S. commitments, we too can immediately return to our full commitments in the accord … and negotiations are possible within the framework of the P5 + 1."
On Dec. 24, 2020 a group of Democrat policymakers extended their support for return of the U.S. to JCPOA.
Economic Impact of Sanctions
Economic sanctions have taken a toll on Iran's economy, while the Iranian currency has fallen significantly, inflation has also been increasing steadily (in September 2020, inflation was estimated at well over 30%). U.S sanctions have had a significant impact on Iran's trade with Germany and other EU member states.
Iran's government has also stated that its fight against coronavirus has been hampered by the sanctions. Recently, however, Iran has managed to get an approval from the U.S. to transfer funds for coronavirus vaccines from other countries. Iran's Central Bank Governor, Abdolnaser Hemmati stated: "They [Americans] have put sanctions on all our banks. They accepted this one case under the pressure of world public opinion."
Geopolitical Impact of Sanctions
Another impact of sanctions has been Iran's increasing proximity with China. Both sides have signed a 25-year comprehensive partnership under which China will invest $400 billion in Iran.
Given the fact that elections in Iran are due in June 2021, and that Iranian hardliners have become more powerful, there are many who have been suggesting that the U.S. should be pragmatic and join the JCPOA without any condition. In reaction to the killing of Iranian Nuclear Scientist Mohsin Fakhrizadeh, a resolution was passed according to which Iran would have the right to increase its uranium enrichment in violation of JCPOA, and also prevent inspection of nuclear sites by UN if sanctions are not ended by February 2021.
The major challenge which Biden is likely to face is Trump administration's belligerent stance vis-à-vis Iran (Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stated that Iran is the main security threat in the Middle East). In order to pursue its 'maximum pressure' strategy vis-à-vis Iran, the U.S. has pursued two strategies: first, imposing sanctions on Iran, second the U.S. has been trying to whip up conflict through Israel and Saudi Arabia. The killing of Iranian Nuclear Scientist Mohsen Fakhridazeh was a handiwork of Israel according to U.S. officials and has emboldened Iranian hardliners, though the Iranian government apart from some strong statements, was measured in its response and made it clear about its willingness to engage with the Biden administration.
After a recent attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, the U.S. President warned of retaliation in a tweet. Said Trump: "…Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over."
Saudi Arabia and Israel
During the Trump administration, Israel and Saudi Arabia had a significant impact on Trump's Iran policy (something which has been alluded to on more than one occasion by senior officials of the Hassan Rouhani government), as a result of Trump's personal chemistry with the leadership of both countries. It is unlikely, that both countries will be able to wield same level of influence on Biden.
Saudi Arabia has already stated that they should be consulted with regard to the U.S. rejoining JCPOA. The Saudi FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan stated, "…we've seen as a result of the after-effects of the JCPOA that not involving the regional countries results in a build up of mistrust and neglect of the issues of real concern and of real effect on regional security."
The recent meeting of Foreign Ministers of signatories to the JCPOA is a positive development, and Biden's approach of jointly working with other stakeholders is positive. A more flexible approach towards Iran is important not just for the Middle East but also in the broader geopolitical context. Alienating Iran will only result in it moving closer to China.
A lot will depend however on the Trump Administration's approach towards Iran in the remaining few weeks he is in office. It also remains to be seen whether Hassan Rouhani can withstand the pressure from Iranian hardliners. Both President-elect Biden and Rouhani certainly have their task cut out if they want to improve the Iran-U.S. relationship.

How you invest your money can be a vote for the values you want to support—from fairness and equality to safety and sustainability. But how does it actually work? How do your mutual funds try to make difference in the world?
For many years, funds relied on divestment. They avoided investing in certain companies or industries, like tobacco or more recently, fossil fuels. Divestment is still an important tool, but most investors want to do more than just avoid 'bad apples'; they want to actively support companies that are trying to do the right thing.
Today, many funds invest in companies that have strong environmental, social or corporate governance policies (ESG). This is a way for the fund to mitigate risk. A company that is mismanaged could end up facing major fines or lawsuits. And importantly, it also allows fund investors to put their money behind the kinds of companies they want to support.
Perhaps the most important way that funds are making a difference is by tapping into their power as shareholders. When you invest in a company, you get a say in how that company operates: you can file shareholder resolutions to try to change how a company operates, and you can vote on these proposals at shareholder meetings, and that's exactly what many funds do. They invest in a company with the goal of engaging with the company and helping it do better.
Domini Impact Investments engaged with Target to encourage the company to reduce the use of toxic PVC plastic in children's products. (Other major retailers, like Walmart and Sears, soon followed suit.) Today, Target has a sustainable product standard that scores 7,000 products based on toxicity.
Calvert Research and Management has prioritized engagement with electric utilities and 53 major corporations have committed to source 100% of their power from renewable energy in the next two decades.
Trillium Asset Management engaged with Home Depot, which was one of the world's largest retailers of old-growth lumber at the time. Home Depot agreed to use more sustainably sourced wood, and by 2009, Home Depot had sold more Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood than any other company in North America.

Gluten Levels in Beer
Denise Kelly

Unless your beer is specifically marketed as gluten-free, it has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein that comes from most grains, including barley, the main solid ingredient in beer. Most people aren't aware of how much gluten they take in every day; it's in obvious products such as bread and pasta, but it is also used as a filler and shows up in unusual places, such as lipstick and vitamins.
Dried, germinated barley, what is referred to as barley malt, is a major ingredient in any kind of normal beer. As beer is brewed, the malt goes through various stages, being mashed, boiled and fermented. At each stage, the gluten content of the malt drops, so the final bottled result has much lower levels than the raw malt.
Specific Levels
Researchers in the Czech Republic monitored the gluten content of beer during the brewing process and published the finding in "Food Additives and Contaminants" in 2006 . They found that nonalcoholic beer had very little gluten, less than 3 milligrams per liter. Lagers had a range of 3 to 8.7 milligrams per liter, and stouts contained 9.0 to 15.2 milligrams per liter. Wheat beer, which is made with predominately wheat malt, had a range of 10.6 milligrams per liter to high of 41.2.
Who Should Care
People with a gluten allergy, gluten intolerance or celiac disease must avoid gluten. Ingesting even small amounts can cause stomach pain and diarrhea and can damage the small intestine, even if there aren't any digestive symptoms. Dr. Jan Gurley comments on a study that found that even amounts as small as 10 milligrams per day can hurt the intestine, for those particularly sensitive to gluten -- excluding even low-gluten lagers. Gluten sensitivity affects about 1 percent of the population.
Beer lovers who discover they can't tolerate gluten aren't completely out of luck. As awareness rises about the prevalence of this condition, brewers are coming up with gluten-free beers in which ingredients such as millet, buckwheat, rice and sorghum replace the barley. Unfortunately, as a relatively new niche product, these beers cost more than normal beers -- and, according to many beer lovers, do not taste good. Until new developments mean more beerlike gluten-free beer, those with sensitivities might prefer a cider.

The Sheriff's Office identified the two men as Richard Hockaday, 37, and Gerald Anderson, 39, both of Palatka, both employed by Nomad LLC. Anderson had started on June 25. It's not clear when Hockaday had.
The two men, operating a concrete-pouring truck belonging to Nomad LLC, were just finished pouring the foundation on the house when who was at the scene, the man operating the boom with a remote control unknowingly directed the boom against a power line along Selma.
The incident reportedly took place as young children were waiting for their school bus nearby.
The property is owned by Seagate Homes, which pulled a permit to build the house–a duplex–on Aug. 13. Four subcontractors are listed on the permit: Simmons Electric, Morello Environmental Technologies, Turnkey Construction Planners and Pearson's Plumbing. Nomad is not listed. There were no location identifiers nor a phone number on the Nomad truck at the scene.
The website of the American Concrete Pumping Association lists Nomad Concrete Pumping LLC of Palm Coast in its directory, with Lance Alred of Christopher Court in Palm Coast listed as a main contact.
The city, however, has no business tax receipt from Alred. "Nothing registered with City at all," a Palm Coast government spokesperson said. Nor does Alred or Nomad appear to be licensed by Flagler County government, according to the county's licensing database, though "this type of contracting does require a license with Flagler County's Licensing Board," the city's spokesperson said.
Reached by phone minutes before noon, Alred said, "no comment," and hung up. He did not respond to a subsequent email.
About a dozen construction workers were grouped near the site. The two workers who died appeared to be contractors with Nomad LLC. "There's no indication of any foul play or anything like this, this was a tragic accident, a construction accident," the sheriff said. The scene will nevertheless be processed and investigated to verify that there's no foul play. The bodies will be turned over to the medical examiner. The investigation will then be turned over to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which will conduct its own investigation.
Sheriff's deputies were interviewing workers at the scene. "I know that there is a language barrier," the sheriff said, though a translator was brought in.
FPL shut down the neighborhood's power, affecting 115 homes. Staly said it was likely the power would be out for the rest of the morning since the scene's processing would need time, and a power line was severed.

Rossett Acre secure CIF bids amounting to close to 500k to improve windows and remove two PCUs (Portable Classrooms). This is such an exciting development!
On Saturday 10th June an intrepid group of walkers from Rossett Acre PTA will set off to tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

Attack in Cairo - France in the United States / Embassy of France in Washington, D.C.
"I was deeply saddened to learn of the tragedy that has plunged Cairo into mourning, having caused the death of a French tourist and wounding several others of French nationality and other nationalities. My thoughts go out to the families and loved-ones of the victims, who were struck so cruelly and unjustly.
I have asked for the immediate activation of the crisis center at the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. Our embassy in Cairo is mobilized to provide all the necessary assistance to our affected compatriots. I also want to reaffirm France's support and solidarity with the Egyptian authorities, who we are certain will fully investigate this tragic event."


I absolutely adore lavender. The smell, taste and the effects on the mind. I have noticed that the popularity of lavender lemonade has taken off like wildfire this year. I am really pleased to see this since it is one of my signature drinks!
Every summer since my little one was born I have been making lavender lemonade. The only difference between the recipes I see floating around and mine is that, I use raw honey instead of a simple syrup. The benefits of honey heavily outweigh the use of white sugar.
Remove zest from 1 lemon using a grater or vegetable peeler. Set aside zest.
Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a sauce pan with lemon zest and lavender flowers. Once at a boil turn off and let the flowers steep for 5 minutes to make a tea.
Strain the tea into a large container. I use my 1/2 gallon mason jar (did I mention how much I love my mason jars?!).
Stir in the honey with the warm tea.
Add in the remaining amount of water and lemon juice. Stir and let cool.
Keep in mind when drinking lavender lemonade you are also adding in the many benefits of lavender, honey and lemon. They are all powerful on their own. But combined together you are not only getting a delicious drink, you have created a medicinal drink as well.
For relief of constipation drink lavender- honey lemonade warm.
Cheers to a healthy body!
Tis the season for pies!
Hi, I am Janny. My husband and I have two beautiful children named Josh and Moose (our 3 year old rescue dog). I had been wanting to live a more natural lifestyle and when my child was born I decided to make the change: Making baby food, growing our first garden and switching to natural products. Now four years later, I still live this way but now I make every household cleaner I use, try to up-cycle all old clothing and pretty much make anything that I could just purchase at store. At this moment in our lives my husband and I are making our dreams actually come true. I am trying to get my jewelry company Blue Campanula Crafts off and running while my husband goes back to school to become a Naturopathic Doctor. Hopefully in the future we will be able to move onto our own land and become completely self-sufficient. These are our dreams and I feel we are on the right path to making it happen!
I don't think I've ever tasted lavender lemonade, but it sounds really wonderful!
Yum! I am really into lavender flavored thing right now and this looks delicious!

Komprise moved its grid-based adaptive file analytics software from beta to general availability and closed a $12 million funding round to expand marketing and distribution.
The Campbell, Calif., startup sells the agentless Komprise Data Management software to petabyte-scale companies. The general-availability release launched Tuesday adds the Komprise Data Management Grid for unlimited linear scale-out of virtual machines (VMs) on the fly.
Komprise sells to customers in financial services, genomics, healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, media and entertainment, and government. The company integrates the file analytics in array vendors' hardware, and it analyzes and archives the data.
"Most of these environments have petabytes of data and billions and billions of files. We scale so you can keep adding virtual machines as you need them," said Krishna Subramanian, COO at Komprise.
Komprise creates an out-of-band control plane that performs file analytics on data and metadata. The software uses adaptive automation to flexibly manage massive volumes across physical and virtual storage silos, throttling back when data is in active use.
Komprise provides hosted data management via NFS, SMB and Amazon Simple Storage Service. The product consists of two VMs that work in tandem: Komprise Observer and Komprise Director.
Observer is a downloadable VM that indexes files in a virtual repository. An Observer VM crawls through the file system to project the cost and performance benefits of moving seldom-used data to secondary storage.
Komprise Director is a policy-based controller that intelligently moves inactive data to cloud object stores.
The Komprise tool gives IT leaders a new weapon in their arsenal to go back to data owners and make decisions on when to pull the plug.
New Observer VMs point to IP addresses of desired data shares on a grid. Komprise manages disaster recovery, high availability and load balancing of VMs across the grid.
Arun Chandrasekaran, a Gartner research vice president for storage, cloud and big data, said Komprise appeals to organizations with growing unstructured data. The organizations want greater visibility and intelligence around data movement and safe deletion.
"There is only so much you can do with deduplication and compression or moving data to lesser cost tiers," Chandrasekaran said. "At some point, you need to delete stuff. The Komprise tool gives IT leaders a new weapon in their arsenal to go back to data owners and make decisions on when to pull the plug."
Companies set storage budgets, but often can't itemize how those dollars are being spent, Subramanian said.
"They don't know which files are consuming their storage, which files are being used and who is using it. Our file analytics will show you this information for all your storage," Subramanian said.
Komprise has company in a hot market for secondary storage. Startups Cohesity, Igneous Systems and Rubrik are among newcomers to offer integrated physical hardware for backing up data to a hybrid cloud.
But Gartner's Chandrasekaran said software-only Komprise is more likely to go up against Veritas and Commvault as they expand their backup and archiving software into data management platforms.
"The other competitor I see is Primary Data, which is a startup that has similar capabilities, particularly from a data movement standpoint," Chandrasekaran said.
Komprise partners with Amazon Web Services, Dell EMC, Google Cloud Storage, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Microsoft Azure, NetApp, Quantum, Spectra Logic and Scality.
The Komprise software as a service is sold as a perpetual license priced at $150 per terabyte. Pricing includes costs for archiving, file analytics, replication and secondary storage.
The $12 million Series B round was led by early-stage fund Walden International, with participation from original investor Canaan Partners. Individual investors include Bill Moore, who helped developed the Sun ZFS file system and DSSD (now part of Dell EMC), and SanDisk co-founder Sanjay Mehrotra.
The latest funding round pushes Komprise's private investment to $18 million. Canaan Partners provided $6 million in seed capital in 2015.
For file analytics, do you prefer a software-only vendor or products from integrated backup and archiving vendors? Why?

Tesla sees new financing, founder offers support
Nichola Groom, Kevin Krolicki
LOS ANGELES/DETROIT, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Tesla Motors Inc expects to close a financing round of over $20 million from existing investors as soon as next week to bolster a cash balance now at $9 million, said Elon Musk, founder and chief executive of the electric car start-up.
Musk, who became a billionaire by founding PayPal, said he would personally ensure that the San Jose, California company would have enough cash to deliver all of its orders for the $109,000 Tesla Roadster, the first battery powered sports car.
"I've gone on record as saying that I am personally standing behind delivering the cars and the deposits for the company," Musk told Reuters late on Thursday.
"I have the means and wherewithal to do so. So people should have absolutely zero concern about their deposit."
Tesla has delivered less than 60 Roadsters despite having taken over 1,200 orders.
It has taken deposits of between $5,000 and $60,000 for those Roadster orders under a contract that specifies those funds can be used for Tesla's working capital, Musk said.
But like established automakers, Tesla has been hit hard by the recent turmoil in financial markets as well as cost overruns and production delays for the Roadster.
When Tesla failed to secure a $100-million investment round earlier this month, Musk cut 24 percent of the company's work force and delayed development work on a battery-powered electric sedan, known internally as the "Model S."
He also took the CEO post from Tesla's former chief executive, Ze'ev Drori.
"We didn't raise the $100 million but we still need to raise some money to get to cash flow positive," Musk said. "We actually probably only need on the order of $20 million to do that. We're going to raise more than that, but we only need about $20 million."
He added that the financing would come from existing investors in Tesla.
"My expectation is next week is likely," Musk said when asked about the timing.
Musk was speaking after an apparently disgruntled Tesla employee posted a letter to a Silicon Valley blog that suggested Tesla was running out of funds after a financial briefing for employees this week.
"It's a bit silly. If we had almost no money in the bank then one could say that we are about to run out of money. But I think it's kind of silly to say that with $9 million in the bank," Musk said.
In addition to the new financing round from investors, Tesla also expects to secure another $200 million in still-pending loans from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The San Jose, California-based company is counting on the taxpayer-backed loans to offset up to 80 percent of the development cost of the Model S. Tesla has said it expects that car to cost $60,000 and compete against the likes of the BMW 5-Series for luxury and performance.
Though Tesla is among the most high-profile makers of electric vehicles, it faces intense competition from established automakers like General Motors Corp (GM.N) and Nissan Motor Co Ltd (7201.T), and upstarts like Chinese battery maker BYD Co Ltd (1211.HK)

The Best Hotels in Bakuriani, Georgia
Warm up at one of seven restaurants at the Bakuriani Inn | Courtesy of Bakuriani Inn / Expedia
Phoebe Taplin
Once it was just a village among pinewoods – near the border with Russia in Georgia's awesome Caucasus mountain range. Now Bakuriani has become an international family-friendly ski resort with modern hotels emerging from the snowy slopes and new paths running through the forests. Visit in July and August for hikes through the green hills and visits to the spa resort of Borjomi, a 45-minute drive north, famous for salty mineral water and warm sulphur baths.
Crystal Hotel and Spa

You can hop out of bed and almost straight onto the ski-lift at this comprehensive complex with a bar and restaurant, big ice rink, small playground, decent-sized pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym. Balconies have views across the colourful apartment blocks to the wooded hills beyond and the giant-chalet-style hotel is close to walking trails through snow-covered pines or golden beeches, depending on the season. Rooms vary from the bargain economy category to executive suites, ideal for families.
Full-service spa

With more than 200 rooms and a cavernous, brick-walled restaurant, this modern cliff of a hotel towards the southern end of Bakuriani's sprawl can pack in the visitors in season. Alas, if you book one of the cheaper rooms then you'll miss out on a balcony, but the upper levels can look out over the woods, which are spectacular in autumn. Climb up to the ski lift or walk from the door into the trees that surround Bakuriani. This is a wildly beautiful corner of the world.
Villa Mtashi

Welcome to gorgeous Georgia at this fine space: well-equipped chalets, backed by pines, have balconies and floor to ceiling windows overlooking a gentle valley that is grassy in summer and snow-loaded in winter. What's great for families is that the beginners' slope is nearby and you can rent gear for skiing or bikes for cycling into the acres of rural Georgia on the doorstep. Each property is similar – and, it must be said, lacking in much character – with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room with a fireplace. Cosy, though, when the snow blows.
Rooms Hotel Kokhta

The newest addition to Rooms Hotels, an exciting Georgian design-hotel group, opened at the end of 2019 on the eastern edge of the resort, where a winding track leads up through woods and over the hilltop pass to a neighbouring village. The elegant rooms in this ski-in, ski-out hotel have mesmerising views of the pine expanses; the innovative designers have chosen stylish, natural furnishings (hand-woven rugs and local ceramics, wooden floors, salvaged oak furniture, pale tawny walls) that throw the focus on to the landscape outside. There's a log fire in the lounge and the terraced restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows and a locally sourced trad-with-a-twist menu.
Hotel Villa Amiranis Park
Courtesy of Hotel Villa Amiranis Park / Expedia
All gleaming floors, smart colours and long sofas, this hotel takes its name from grassy Amirani's Park nearby with its candy-bright fairground rides for kids. Expanded in 2019, the property now rolls out spacious rooms, comfortable beds and, happily enough, an underground bar with a pool table and billiards – Bakuriani apres-ski, if you will. An energetic 10-minute walk from Bakuriani's train station, it also has free parking and an airport shuttle.
Bakuriani Inn

With seven restaurants, an indoor pool and spa, playground and games rooms, football, basketball and volleyball pitches, and walking trails in the gardens, you barely need to leave the Bakuriani Inn for a sporting holiday. From breakfast under the restaurant's mirrored ceiling to high tea in the chandelier-hung dining room and cocktails in the plant-filled winter garden, there are plenty of places to refuel, too. So once you're here, you're sorted.
Hotel King David
Courtesy of Hotel King David / Expedia
An easy stroll from both the beginners' slopes and the Joyland park, this family-run option is a four-storey modern block with wrought iron balconies in the middle of town, next door to a supermarket. It's kid-friendly with a trampoline, playground and bunk beds in the family rooms. There's also homemade Georgian food, including delicious fresh salads and chicken cutlets, a smouldering log fire in winter and crisp linen sheets on the beds; the breakfast spread favours cold meats and cheeses, pastries and cereals: perfect sustenance for a day on the slopes.
Hotel Villa Park
Courtesy of Hotel Villa Park / Expedia
Backing onto the lawns of Amirani's Park, with its red squirrels and tree-lined paths, the rooms in the Hotel Villa Park have wooden bedsteads and simple décor. The chalet-style modern building centres on a fire-lit lounge and there's an unfussy indoor swimming pool. In the light-filled restaurant look out for Georgian cream cheese and yoghurt with honey and home-stewed fruit compotes.

At a time when Florida is facing probable layoffs of many of its employees, it was important to reform the system, which hurt rank-and-file workers while benefitting more highly-paid employees and elected officials, said one of the legislation's sponsors, state Sen. Mike Fasano, R-Spring Hill.
The law applies to all elected officers and employees, officials said. Additionally, any retiree who returns to work will not be able to accrue any new state pension benefits, they added.
The measure will put a stop to the abuse of the state retirement system by elected officials and judges in particular, said Fasano.
"Those individuals will not be able to take a six month break from their elected or appointed positions," he added. " It will also keep senior management from retiring and coming right back to their old position at a high salary, since their position will have to remain unfilled for six months," he noted.
The Herald previously reported that several Manatee County officials, including Supervisor of Elections Bob Sweat and Clerk of Courts Chips Shore, are among those collecting retirement benefits and a salary at the same time. Under the Deferred Retirement Option Program, Shore and Sweat are fully within their legal rights to do so.

U.S. Commandos Want New Machine Gun Technology
U.S. Special Operations Command is looking for ammunition that weighs 40 percent less
***Warrior Maven Video Above - New F-22 Weapons Breakdown***
U.S. Special Operations Command is looking for ammunition that weighs 40 percent less than current cartridges for machine guns and rapid-fire miniguns.
byMichael Peck
Having lots of ammunition is good. Carrying lots of ammunition, not so good.
So, U.S. Special Operations Command is looking for ammunition that weighs 40 percent less than current cartridges for machine guns and rapid-fire miniguns.
The goal of the feasibility study is to assess whether it is possible to develop "belt link cartridge cases that are significantly lighter than brass cases and have increased internal volume, pressure ratings, corrosion resistance, long-term storage, and structural integrity," according to the SOCOM research solicitation.
SOCOM has multiple questions that vendors will need to answer, such as what makes the new ammunition superior to existing cartridges made from brass.
In addition, the cartridges must have a long shelf life. Vendors will have to explain the "materials used in the manufacturing process, the manufacturing method used (i.e., high-temperature welding, friction welding, gluing, etc.). Explain how the materials and the manufacturing methods prevent degradation of ammunition to make it ready for use even while the ammunition is in storage for 10 or more years."
Phase I of the project will involve devising a feasibility study to show it is possible to develop lighter ammunition. The second phase will be to prototype and demonstrate lighter 7.62-millimeter NATO and .338 Norma Magnum rounds.
Other users besides SOCOM would benefit from lighter ammunition. "This system could be used in a broad range of military applications where the weight of small arms ammunition is a critical consideration both for the operator and the logistics system," SOCOM says. "Lighter weight saves transportation cost for military and commercial ammunition shipments."

SOCOM has several small arms projects for its marksmen, including adopting the 6.5-millimeter Creedmore round for its sniper rifles. The goal is to double hit probability at 1,000 meters (1,093 yards) versus legacy ammunition, as well as increase effective range 40 percent, reduce wind drift by 30 percent and have less recoil. SOCOM also has its Advanced Sniper Rifle project to replace the multiple models of sniper weapons that currently equip U.S. commandos. A standardized rifle would minimize logistics and maintenance issues.
SOCOM is also exploring a lightweight assault machine gun chambered for 6.5-millimeter ammunition. Other projects include a new upper receiver group for the M4A1 carbine, a suppressed upper receiver group for rifles, more advanced rifle scopes and night vision devices, as well as improved 105-millimeter and 30-millimeter shells for heavier weapons.

Theresa May condemns series of threats against MPs
Prime Minister Theresa May said there was "no place in our politics" for intimidation Credit: Getty
Sarah Wollaston
Theresa May has condemned threats of violence against politicians after a series of incidents in which MPs received death threats and abuse.
The Prime Minister said there was "no place in our politics" for intimidation and called for "tolerance, decency and respect".
Her comments came after Tory Brexit rebels were subjected to vicious abuse, with Anna Soubry revealing she had received messages suggesting she should be "hung in public".
They follow the publication of a report by the Committee on Standards in Public Life which said social media was "the most significant factor" driving harassment, abuse and intimidation of 2017 General Election candidates.
Mrs May said: "Threats of violence and intimidation are unacceptable and have no place in our politics. Everybody should be treated with tolerance, decency and respect."
Threats of violence and intimidation are unacceptable and have no place in our politics. Everybody should be treated with tolerance, decency and respect.
— Theresa May (@theresa_may) December 16, 2017
Former business minister Ms Soubry told the Guardian her office had received threatening messages as well as posts on social media attacking her.
"I got an email from somebody yesterday saying: 'In the past, traitors were taken out and shot'. It's appalling," she said.
Thank you for all the messages/tweets of support. Hugely appreciated. Partners daughter getting married today! #familytime
— Anna Soubry MP (@Anna_Soubry) December 16, 2017
Another Brexit rebel, Sarah Wollaston, said she had also been targeted, while former attorney general Dominic Grieve, the ringleader of the revolt which saw Mrs May suffer her first Commons defeat, said he had faced death threats.
Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday reported that left-wing activists targeted the heavily pregnant wife of an unnamed Tory MP after he challenged Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the Commons.
One told her "'hope your baby dies" while a Facebook used said he would "spear" the MP while he was out jogging and another vowed to "put your head on a spike".
The increasingly bitter atmosphere around British politics has led the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, to call for a Christmas truce - like the ceasefire in the First World War.
"If we go back 103 years, we find Christmas 1914 there was a ceasefire. It would be very good to have a ceasefire from insult and the use of pejorative terms about people at this time," he told the BBC on Thursday.

Over the past 5 years the Sharks had wins against teams like the Crusaders (in NZ playing with 14 and then 13 men), Hurricanes, Highlanders, Chiefs, Blues, Waratahs, Lions and Stormers, but we have not tasted victory against the Bulls in Super Rugby since 15 February 2014. These are seasons in which the Sharks featured in a semi-final and were ahead of the Bulls on the log in all cases except in 2015.
Time to correct this sorry state of affairs.
We have a great chance on Saturday we just need to trust our backs to use good ball.
@Byron Wright (Comment 1) : Which is not something we do when playing local teams. When we play overseas teams we understand the need for varying play. When we play locals we think it easy enough to stick to crashing aimless flopping and hoping for the best. I really hope the coach klaps that out of their heads before game.
@pastorshark (Comment 3) : We need to convince our team that the bulls and wp are teams worth worrying about. I seriously think the coach needs to prepare them mentally as well. They have some silly notions that directly affects their performance and drive.
@coolfusion (Comment 4) : I've said that for years!
Sharks need to be physical but also play smart rugby. No point in turning the game into a slug fest with the Bulls pack – we will end up on the loosing end.
@pastorshark (Comment 7) : Really disappointing.
Unfortunately I am not surprised by the result as I expected the Bulls would win!
