# Breaking Changes

Breaking changes will be documented here, and deprecation warnings added to JS code where possible, at least [one major version](tutorial/electron-versioning.md#semver) before the change is made.

### Types of Breaking Changes

This document uses the following convention to categorize breaking changes:

* **API Changed:** An API was changed in such a way that code that has not been updated is guaranteed to throw an exception.
* **Behavior Changed:** The behavior of Electron has changed, but not in such a way that an exception will necessarily be thrown.
* **Default Changed:** Code depending on the old default may break, not necessarily throwing an exception. The old behavior can be restored by explicitly specifying the value.
* **Deprecated:** An API was marked as deprecated. The API will continue to function, but will emit a deprecation warning, and will be removed in a future release.
* **Removed:** An API or feature was removed, and is no longer supported by Electron.

## Planned Breaking API Changes (13.0)

### Removed: `shell.moveItemToTrash()`

The deprecated synchronous `shell.moveItemToTrash()` API has been removed. Use
the asynchronous `shell.trashItem()` instead.

```js
// Removed in Electron 13
shell.moveItemToTrash(path)
// Replace with
shell.trashItem(path).then(/* ... */)
```

### Removed: `BrowserWindow` extension APIs

The deprecated extension APIs have been removed:
* `BrowserWindow.addExtension(path)`
* `BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(path)`
* `BrowserWindow.removeExtension(name)`
* `BrowserWindow.removeDevToolsExtension(name)`
* `BrowserWindow.getExtensions()`
* `BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions()`

Use the session APIs instead:
* `ses.loadExtension(path)`
* `ses.removeExtension(extension_id)`
* `ses.getAllExtensions()`

```js
// Removed in Electron 13
BrowserWindow.addExtension(path)
BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(path)
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.loadExtension(path)
```

```js
// Removed in Electron 13
BrowserWindow.removeExtension(name)
BrowserWindow.removeDevToolsExtension(name)
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.removeExtension(extension_id)
```

```js
// Removed in Electron 13
BrowserWindow.getExtensions()
BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions()
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.getAllExtensions()
```

## Planned Breaking API Changes (12.0)

### Removed: Pepper Flash support

Chromium has removed support for Flash, and so we must follow suit. See
Chromium's [Flash Roadmap](https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap) for more
details.

### Default Changed: `contextIsolation` defaults to `true`

In Electron 12, `contextIsolation` will be enabled by default.  To restore
the previous behavior, `contextIsolation: false` must be specified in WebPreferences.

We [recommend having contextIsolation enabled](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/security.md#3-enable-context-isolation-for-remote-content) for the security of your application.

For more details see: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/23506

### Removed: `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory()`

The `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory` method has been removed. Usage
should be replaced by `app.getPath('crashDumps')`.

```js
// Removed in Electron 12
crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory()
// Replace with
app.getPath('crashDumps')
```

### Removed: `crashReporter` methods in the renderer process

The following `crashReporter` methods are no longer available in the renderer
process:

* `crashReporter.start`
* `crashReporter.getLastCrashReport`
* `crashReporter.getUploadedReports`
* `crashReporter.getUploadToServer`
* `crashReporter.setUploadToServer`
* `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory`

They should be called only from the main process.

See [#23265](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/23265) for more details.

### Default Changed: `crashReporter.start({ compress: true })`

The default value of the `compress` option to `crashReporter.start` has changed
from `false` to `true`. This means that crash dumps will be uploaded to the
crash ingestion server with the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header, and the body
will be compressed.

If your crash ingestion server does not support compressed payloads, you can
turn off compression by specifying `{ compress: false }` in the crash reporter
options.

### Deprecated: `remote` module

The `remote` module is deprecated in Electron 12, and will be removed in
Electron 14. It is replaced by the
[`@electron/remote`](https://github.com/electron/remote) module.

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 12:
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron').remote
```

```js
// Replace with:
const { BrowserWindow } = require('@electron/remote')

// In the main process:
require('@electron/remote/main').initialize()
```

### Deprecated: `shell.moveItemToTrash()`

The synchronous `shell.moveItemToTrash()` has been replaced by the new,
asynchronous `shell.trashItem()`.

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 12
shell.moveItemToTrash(path)
// Replace with
shell.trashItem(path).then(/* ... */)
```

## Planned Breaking API Changes (11.0)

### Removed: `BrowserView.{destroy, fromId, fromWebContents, getAllViews}` and `id` property of `BrowserView`

The experimental APIs `BrowserView.{destroy, fromId, fromWebContents, getAllViews}`
have now been removed. Additionally, the `id` property of `BrowserView`
has also been removed.

For more detailed information, see [#23578](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/23578).

## Planned Breaking API Changes (10.0)

### Deprecated: `companyName` argument to `crashReporter.start()`

The `companyName` argument to `crashReporter.start()`, which was previously
required, is now optional, and further, is deprecated. To get the same
behavior in a non-deprecated way, you can pass a `companyName` value in
`globalExtra`.

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 10
crashReporter.start({ companyName: 'Umbrella Corporation' })
// Replace with
crashReporter.start({ globalExtra: { _companyName: 'Umbrella Corporation' } })
```

### Deprecated: `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory()`

The `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory` method has been deprecated. Usage
should be replaced by `app.getPath('crashDumps')`.

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 10
crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory()
// Replace with
app.getPath('crashDumps')
```

### Deprecated: `crashReporter` methods in the renderer process

Calling the following `crashReporter` methods from the renderer process is
deprecated:

* `crashReporter.start`
* `crashReporter.getLastCrashReport`
* `crashReporter.getUploadedReports`
* `crashReporter.getUploadToServer`
* `crashReporter.setUploadToServer`
* `crashReporter.getCrashesDirectory`

The only non-deprecated methods remaining in the `crashReporter` module in the
renderer are `addExtraParameter`, `removeExtraParameter` and `getParameters`.

All above methods remain non-deprecated when called from the main process.

See [#23265](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/23265) for more details.

### Deprecated: `crashReporter.start({ compress: false })`

Setting `{ compress: false }` in `crashReporter.start` is deprecated. Nearly
all crash ingestion servers support gzip compression. This option will be
removed in a future version of Electron.

### Removed: Browser Window Affinity

The `affinity` option when constructing a new `BrowserWindow` will be removed
as part of our plan to more closely align with Chromium's process model for security,
performance and maintainability.

For more detailed information see [#18397](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397).

### Default Changed: `enableRemoteModule` defaults to `false`

In Electron 9, using the remote module without explicitly enabling it via the
`enableRemoteModule` WebPreferences option began emitting a warning. In
Electron 10, the remote module is now disabled by default. To use the remote
module, `enableRemoteModule: true` must be specified in WebPreferences:

```js
const w = new BrowserWindow({
  webPreferences: {
    enableRemoteModule: true
  }
})
```

We [recommend moving away from the remote
module](https://medium.com/@nornagon/electrons-remote-module-considered-harmful-70d69500f31).

### `protocol.unregisterProtocol`

### `protocol.uninterceptProtocol`

The APIs are now synchronous and the optional callback is no longer needed.

```javascript
// Deprecated
protocol.unregisterProtocol(scheme, () => { /* ... */ })
// Replace with
protocol.unregisterProtocol(scheme)
```

### `protocol.registerFileProtocol`

### `protocol.registerBufferProtocol`

### `protocol.registerStringProtocol`

### `protocol.registerHttpProtocol`

### `protocol.registerStreamProtocol`

### `protocol.interceptFileProtocol`

### `protocol.interceptStringProtocol`

### `protocol.interceptBufferProtocol`

### `protocol.interceptHttpProtocol`

### `protocol.interceptStreamProtocol`

The APIs are now synchronous and the optional callback is no longer needed.

```javascript
// Deprecated
protocol.registerFileProtocol(scheme, handler, () => { /* ... */ })
// Replace with
protocol.registerFileProtocol(scheme, handler)
```

The registered or intercepted protocol does not have effect on current page
until navigation happens.

### `protocol.isProtocolHandled`

This API is deprecated and users should use `protocol.isProtocolRegistered`
and `protocol.isProtocolIntercepted` instead.

```javascript
// Deprecated
protocol.isProtocolHandled(scheme).then(() => { /* ... */ })
// Replace with
const isRegistered = protocol.isProtocolRegistered(scheme)
const isIntercepted = protocol.isProtocolIntercepted(scheme)
```

## Planned Breaking API Changes (9.0)

### Default Changed: Loading non-context-aware native modules in the renderer process is disabled by default

As of Electron 9 we do not allow loading of non-context-aware native modules in
the renderer process.  This is to improve security, performance and maintainability
of Electron as a project.

If this impacts you, you can temporarily set `app.allowRendererProcessReuse` to `false`
to revert to the old behavior.  This flag will only be an option until Electron 11 so
you should plan to update your native modules to be context aware.

For more detailed information see [#18397](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397).

### Deprecated: `BrowserWindow` extension APIs

The following extension APIs have been deprecated:
* `BrowserWindow.addExtension(path)`
* `BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(path)`
* `BrowserWindow.removeExtension(name)`
* `BrowserWindow.removeDevToolsExtension(name)`
* `BrowserWindow.getExtensions()`
* `BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions()`

Use the session APIs instead:
* `ses.loadExtension(path)`
* `ses.removeExtension(extension_id)`
* `ses.getAllExtensions()`

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 9
BrowserWindow.addExtension(path)
BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(path)
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.loadExtension(path)
```

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 9
BrowserWindow.removeExtension(name)
BrowserWindow.removeDevToolsExtension(name)
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.removeExtension(extension_id)
```

```js
// Deprecated in Electron 9
BrowserWindow.getExtensions()
BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions()
// Replace with
session.defaultSession.getAllExtensions()
```

### Removed: `<webview>.getWebContents()`

This API, which was deprecated in Electron 8.0, is now removed.

```js
// Removed in Electron 9.0
webview.getWebContents()
// Replace with
const { remote } = require('electron')
remote.webContents.fromId(webview.getWebContentsId())
```

### Removed: `webFrame.setLayoutZoomLevelLimits()`

Chromium has removed support for changing the layout zoom level limits, and it
is beyond Electron's capacity to maintain it. The function was deprecated in
Electron 8.x, and has been removed in Electron 9.x. The layout zoom level limits
are now fixed at a minimum of 0.25 and a maximum of 5.0, as defined
[here](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/938b37a6d2886bf8335fc7db792f1eb46c65b2ae/third_party/blink/common/page/page_zoom.cc#11).

### Behavior Changed: Sending non-JS objects over IPC now throws an exception

In Electron 8.0, IPC was changed to use the Structured Clone Algorithm,
bringing significant performance improvements. To help ease the transition, the
old IPC serialization algorithm was kept and used for some objects that aren't
serializable with Structured Clone. In particular, DOM objects (e.g. `Element`,
`Location` and `DOMMatrix`), Node.js objects backed by C++ classes (e.g.
`process.env`, some members of `Stream`), and Electron objects backed by C++
classes (e.g. `WebContents`, `BrowserWindow` and `WebFrame`) are not
serializable with Structured Clone. Whenever the old algorithm was invoked, a
deprecation warning was printed.

In Electron 9.0, the old serialization algorithm has been removed, and sending
such non-serializable objects will now throw an "object could not be cloned"
error.

### API Changed: `shell.openItem` is now `shell.openPath`

The `shell.openItem` API has been replaced with an asynchronous `shell.openPath` API.
You can see the original API proposal and reasoning [here](https://github.com/electron/governance/blob/master/wg-api/spec-documents/shell-openitem.md).

## Planned Breaking API Changes (8.0)

### Behavior Changed: Values sent over IPC are now serialized with Structured Clone Algorithm

The algorithm used to serialize objects sent over IPC (through
`ipcRenderer.send`, `ipcRenderer.sendSync`, `WebContents.send` and related
methods) has been switched from a custom algorithm to V8's built-in [Structured
Clone Algorithm][SCA], the same algorithm used to serialize messages for
`postMessage`. This brings about a 2x performance improvement for large
messages, but also brings some breaking changes in behavior.

* Sending Functions, Promises, WeakMaps, WeakSets, or objects containing any
  such values, over IPC will now throw an exception, instead of silently
  converting the functions to `undefined`.

```js
// Previously:
ipcRenderer.send('channel', { value: 3, someFunction: () => {} })
// => results in { value: 3 } arriving in the main process

// From Electron 8:
ipcRenderer.send('channel', { value: 3, someFunction: () => {} })
// => throws Error("() => {} could not be cloned.")
```

* `NaN`, `Infinity` and `-Infinity` will now be correctly serialized, instead
  of being converted to `null`.
* Objects containing cyclic references will now be correctly serialized,
  instead of being converted to `null`.
* `Set`, `Map`, `Error` and `RegExp` values will be correctly serialized,
  instead of being converted to `{}`.
* `BigInt` values will be correctly serialized, instead of being converted to
  `null`.
* Sparse arrays will be serialized as such, instead of being converted to dense
  arrays with `null`s.
* `Date` objects will be transferred as `Date` objects, instead of being
  converted to their ISO string representation.
* Typed Arrays (such as `Uint8Array`, `Uint16Array`, `Uint32Array` and so on)
  will be transferred as such, instead of being converted to Node.js `Buffer`.
* Node.js `Buffer` objects will be transferred as `Uint8Array`s. You can
  convert a `Uint8Array` back to a Node.js `Buffer` by wrapping the underlying
  `ArrayBuffer`:

```js
Buffer.from(value.buffer, value.byteOffset, value.byteLength)
```

Sending any objects that aren't native JS types, such as DOM objects (e.g.
`Element`, `Location`, `DOMMatrix`), Node.js objects (e.g. `process.env`,
`Stream`), or Electron objects (e.g. `WebContents`, `BrowserWindow`,
`WebFrame`) is deprecated. In Electron 8, these objects will be serialized as
before with a DeprecationWarning message, but starting in Electron 9, sending
these kinds of objects will throw a 'could not be cloned' error.

[SCA]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm

### Deprecated: `<webview>.getWebContents()`

This API is implemented using the `remote` module, which has both performance
and security implications. Therefore its usage should be explicit.

```js
// Deprecated
webview.getWebContents()
// Replace with
const { remote } = require('electron')
remote.webContents.fromId(webview.getWebContentsId())
```

However, it is recommended to avoid using the `remote` module altogether.

```js
// main
const { ipcMain, webContents } = require('electron')

const getGuestForWebContents = (webContentsId, contents) => {
  const guest = webContents.fromId(webContentsId)
  if (!guest) {
    throw new Error(`Invalid webContentsId: ${webContentsId}`)
  }
  if (guest.hostWebContents !== contents) {
    throw new Error('Access denied to webContents')
  }
  return guest
}

ipcMain.handle('openDevTools', (event, webContentsId) => {
  const guest = getGuestForWebContents(webContentsId, event.sender)
  guest.openDevTools()
})

// renderer
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')

ipcRenderer.invoke('openDevTools', webview.getWebContentsId())
```

### Deprecated: `webFrame.setLayoutZoomLevelLimits()`

Chromium has removed support for changing the layout zoom level limits, and it
is beyond Electron's capacity to maintain it. The function will emit a warning
in Electron 8.x, and cease to exist in Electron 9.x. The layout zoom level
limits are now fixed at a minimum of 0.25 and a maximum of 5.0, as defined
[here](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/938b37a6d2886bf8335fc7db792f1eb46c65b2ae/third_party/blink/common/page/page_zoom.cc#11).

## Planned Breaking API Changes (7.0)

### Deprecated: Atom.io Node Headers URL

This is the URL specified as `disturl` in a `.npmrc` file or as the `--dist-url`
command line flag when building native Node modules.  Both will be supported for
the foreseeable future but it is recommended that you switch.

Deprecated: https://atom.io/download/electron

Replace with: https://electronjs.org/headers

### API Changed: `session.clearAuthCache()` no longer accepts options

The `session.clearAuthCache` API no longer accepts options for what to clear, and instead unconditionally clears the whole cache.

```js
// Deprecated
session.clearAuthCache({ type: 'password' })
// Replace with
session.clearAuthCache()
```

### API Changed: `powerMonitor.querySystemIdleState` is now `powerMonitor.getSystemIdleState`

```js
// Removed in Electron 7.0
powerMonitor.querySystemIdleState(threshold, callback)
// Replace with synchronous API
const idleState = powerMonitor.getSystemIdleState(threshold)
```

### API Changed: `powerMonitor.querySystemIdleTime` is now `powerMonitor.getSystemIdleTime`

```js
// Removed in Electron 7.0
powerMonitor.querySystemIdleTime(callback)
// Replace with synchronous API
const idleTime = powerMonitor.getSystemIdleTime()
```

### API Changed: `webFrame.setIsolatedWorldInfo` replaces separate methods

```js
// Removed in Electron 7.0
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldContentSecurityPolicy(worldId, csp)
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldHumanReadableName(worldId, name)
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldSecurityOrigin(worldId, securityOrigin)
// Replace with
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldInfo(
  worldId,
  {
    securityOrigin: 'some_origin',
    name: 'human_readable_name',
    csp: 'content_security_policy'
  })
```

### Removed: `marked` property on `getBlinkMemoryInfo`

This property was removed in Chromium 77, and as such is no longer available.

### Behavior Changed: `webkitdirectory` attribute for `<input type="file"/>` now lists directory contents

The `webkitdirectory` property on HTML file inputs allows them to select folders.
Previous versions of Electron had an incorrect implementation where the `event.target.files`
of the input returned a `FileList` that returned one `File` corresponding to the selected folder.

As of Electron 7, that `FileList` is now list of all files contained within
the folder, similarly to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge
([link to MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/webkitdirectory)).

As an illustration, take a folder with this structure:

```console
folder
├── file1
├── file2
└── file3
```

In Electron <=6, this would return a `FileList` with a `File` object for:

```console
path/to/folder
```

In Electron 7, this now returns a `FileList` with a `File` object for:

```console
/path/to/folder/file3
/path/to/folder/file2
/path/to/folder/file1
```

Note that `webkitdirectory` no longer exposes the path to the selected folder.
If you require the path to the selected folder rather than the folder contents,
see the `dialog.showOpenDialog` API ([link](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/dialog.md#dialogshowopendialogbrowserwindow-options)).

## Planned Breaking API Changes (6.0)

### API Changed: `win.setMenu(null)` is now `win.removeMenu()`

```js
// Deprecated
win.setMenu(null)
// Replace with
win.removeMenu()
```

### API Changed: `contentTracing.getTraceBufferUsage()` is now a promise

```js
// Deprecated
contentTracing.getTraceBufferUsage((percentage, value) => {
  // do something
})
// Replace with
contentTracing.getTraceBufferUsage().then(infoObject => {
  // infoObject has percentage and value fields
})
```

### API Changed: `electron.screen` in the renderer process should be accessed via `remote`

```js
// Deprecated
require('electron').screen
// Replace with
require('electron').remote.screen
```

### API Changed: `require()`ing node builtins in sandboxed renderers no longer implicitly loads the `remote` version

```js
// Deprecated
require('child_process')
// Replace with
require('electron').remote.require('child_process')

// Deprecated
require('fs')
// Replace with
require('electron').remote.require('fs')

// Deprecated
require('os')
// Replace with
require('electron').remote.require('os')

// Deprecated
require('path')
// Replace with
require('electron').remote.require('path')
```

### Deprecated: `powerMonitor.querySystemIdleState` replaced with `powerMonitor.getSystemIdleState`

```js
// Deprecated
powerMonitor.querySystemIdleState(threshold, callback)
// Replace with synchronous API
const idleState = powerMonitor.getSystemIdleState(threshold)
```

### Deprecated: `powerMonitor.querySystemIdleTime` replaced with `powerMonitor.getSystemIdleTime`

```js
// Deprecated
powerMonitor.querySystemIdleTime(callback)
// Replace with synchronous API
const idleTime = powerMonitor.getSystemIdleTime()
```

### Deprecated: `app.enableMixedSandbox()` is no longer needed

```js
// Deprecated
app.enableMixedSandbox()
```

Mixed-sandbox mode is now enabled by default.

### Deprecated: `Tray.setHighlightMode`

Under macOS Catalina our former Tray implementation breaks.
Apple's native substitute doesn't support changing the highlighting behavior.

```js
// Deprecated
tray.setHighlightMode(mode)
// API will be removed in v7.0 without replacement.
```

## Planned Breaking API Changes (5.0)

### Default Changed: `nodeIntegration` and `webviewTag` default to false, `contextIsolation` defaults to true

The following `webPreferences` option default values are deprecated in favor of the new defaults listed below.

| Property | Deprecated Default | New Default |
|----------|--------------------|-------------|
| `contextIsolation` | `false` | `true` |
| `nodeIntegration` | `true` | `false` |
| `webviewTag` | `nodeIntegration` if set else `true` | `false` |

E.g. Re-enabling the webviewTag

```js
const w = new BrowserWindow({
  webPreferences: {
    webviewTag: true
  }
})
```

### Behavior Changed: `nodeIntegration` in child windows opened via `nativeWindowOpen`

Child windows opened with the `nativeWindowOpen` option will always have Node.js integration disabled, unless `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` is `true`.

### API Changed: Registering privileged schemes must now be done before app ready

Renderer process APIs `webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsPrivileged` and `webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsBypassingCSP` as well as browser process API `protocol.registerStandardSchemes` have been removed.
A new API, `protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged` has been added and should be used for registering custom schemes with the required privileges. Custom schemes are required to be registered before app ready.

### Deprecated: `webFrame.setIsolatedWorld*` replaced with `webFrame.setIsolatedWorldInfo`

```js
// Deprecated
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldContentSecurityPolicy(worldId, csp)
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldHumanReadableName(worldId, name)
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldSecurityOrigin(worldId, securityOrigin)
// Replace with
webFrame.setIsolatedWorldInfo(
  worldId,
  {
    securityOrigin: 'some_origin',
    name: 'human_readable_name',
    csp: 'content_security_policy'
  })
```

### API Changed: `webFrame.setSpellCheckProvider` now takes an asynchronous callback

The `spellCheck` callback is now asynchronous, and `autoCorrectWord` parameter has been removed.

```js
// Deprecated
webFrame.setSpellCheckProvider('en-US', true, {
  spellCheck: (text) => {
    return !spellchecker.isMisspelled(text)
  }
})
// Replace with
webFrame.setSpellCheckProvider('en-US', {
  spellCheck: (words, callback) => {
    callback(words.filter(text => spellchecker.isMisspelled(text)))
  }
})
```

## Planned Breaking API Changes (4.0)

The following list includes the breaking API changes made in Electron 4.0.

### `app.makeSingleInstance`

```js
// Deprecated
app.makeSingleInstance((argv, cwd) => {
  /* ... */
})
// Replace with
app.requestSingleInstanceLock()
app.on('second-instance', (event, argv, cwd) => {
  /* ... */
})
```

### `app.releaseSingleInstance`

```js
// Deprecated
app.releaseSingleInstance()
// Replace with
app.releaseSingleInstanceLock()
```

### `app.getGPUInfo`

```js
app.getGPUInfo('complete')
// Now behaves the same with `basic` on macOS
app.getGPUInfo('basic')
```

### `win_delay_load_hook`

When building native modules for windows, the `win_delay_load_hook` variable in
the module's `binding.gyp` must be true (which is the default). If this hook is
not present, then the native module will fail to load on Windows, with an error
message like `Cannot find module`. See the [native module
guide](/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md) for more.

## Breaking API Changes (3.0)

The following list includes the breaking API changes in Electron 3.0.

### `app`

```js
// Deprecated
app.getAppMemoryInfo()
// Replace with
app.getAppMetrics()

// Deprecated
const metrics = app.getAppMetrics()
const { memory } = metrics[0] // Deprecated property
```

### `BrowserWindow`

```js
// Deprecated
const optionsA = { webPreferences: { blinkFeatures: '' } }
const windowA = new BrowserWindow(optionsA)
// Replace with
const optionsB = { webPreferences: { enableBlinkFeatures: '' } }
const windowB = new BrowserWindow(optionsB)

// Deprecated
window.on('app-command', (e, cmd) => {
  if (cmd === 'media-play_pause') {
    // do something
  }
})
// Replace with
window.on('app-command', (e, cmd) => {
  if (cmd === 'media-play-pause') {
    // do something
  }
})
```

### `clipboard`

```js
// Deprecated
clipboard.readRtf()
// Replace with
clipboard.readRTF()

// Deprecated
clipboard.writeRtf()
// Replace with
clipboard.writeRTF()

// Deprecated
clipboard.readHtml()
// Replace with
clipboard.readHTML()

// Deprecated
clipboard.writeHtml()
// Replace with
clipboard.writeHTML()
```

### `crashReporter`

```js
// Deprecated
crashReporter.start({
  companyName: 'Crashly',
  submitURL: 'https://crash.server.com',
  autoSubmit: true
})
// Replace with
crashReporter.start({
  companyName: 'Crashly',
  submitURL: 'https://crash.server.com',
  uploadToServer: true
})
```

### `nativeImage`

```js
// Deprecated
nativeImage.createFromBuffer(buffer, 1.0)
// Replace with
nativeImage.createFromBuffer(buffer, {
  scaleFactor: 1.0
})
```

### `process`

```js
// Deprecated
const info = process.getProcessMemoryInfo()
```

### `screen`

// Replace with
screen.getPrimaryDisplay().workArea
```

### `session`

```js
// Deprecated
ses.setCertificateVerifyProc((hostname, certificate, callback) => {
  callback(true)
})
// Replace with
ses.setCertificateVerifyProc((request, callback) => {
  callback(0)
})
```

### `Tray`

```js
// Deprecated
tray.setHighlightMode(true)
// Replace with
tray.setHighlightMode('on')

// Deprecated
tray.setHighlightMode(false)
// Replace with
tray.setHighlightMode('off')
```

to clarify to users which ARM version it supports, and to disambiguate it from
future armv6l and arm64 assets that may be produced.

The file _without the prefix_ is still being published to avoid breaking any
setups that may be consuming it. Starting at 2.0, the unprefixed file will
no longer be published.

How Do NYC Tourists Spend Their Holidays?
On Christmas Day, the city is oddly desolate. Stores are shuttered, and streets that are usually jammed with the city's inhabitants are now sprinkled with tourists and the occasional stragglers.
When museums and shopping destinations are closed, tourists head down to Chinatown, where a few restaurants, gift shops, and grocery stores remain open for them to enjoy.
Pauline Halperin, who hails from Cape Town, South Africa, was looking forward to seeing live frogs that she's heard are sold at Chinese supermarkets.
"It's so different, you don't find things like that at home," said Halperin. She's visiting the city for the first time with her husband and two teenage children. "It's always been our dream, on our bucket list," she said.
I just like the buzz and the vibrancy.
Evelyn Silva was disappointed that it didn't snow on Christmas this year. She comes from Miami, Fla., where the weather is balmier and not nearly as evocative of the holiday spirit. "We only have one kind of weather throughout the year," she said.
"People see New York during Christmas, the whole magical experience, so why not give it a try?" So Evelyn booked a flight for her sister, Helen, and their mother and grandmother for a "girl's weekend" in New York City. They plan to stay for six days.
Helen loves "the spirit and the people, the vibe that's around" during the holidays in New York. In Miami, "we don't go all out" on the decorations, she said.
On Christmas Eve, they enjoyed a Chinese dinner in Chinatown. "They've never tried duck before," Evelyn said. Today, they're back in Chinatown for more delicious food.
Dave Young and his family are ecstatic about spending the holidays here. "You name it, we want to see it. Everything, from the Empire State in Manhattan to Staten Island, the Rockettes, everything," Young said, who's visiting from England.
Young and his family have pined for New York for years, and now that they are finally here, they've got a full itinerary planned out. Their next stop is Chinatown for a Peking duck Christmas dinner.
Although the joyous atmosphere is captivating, for Sarah from Milan, Italy, she still misses spending the time with her family. "But I phone them and write to them, so it's like being together," she said. She takes photos of the sites she's visited and sends them back home.
Christmas Day is also her birthday, and this year was the time to "do something different," said Sarah, who was wandering around Little Italy with her fiancé, Priano.
Nadeje, from Toulouse, France, also came to New York with her family to celebrate her birthday—her 40th, in fact. Her husband Julien says spending the holidays in the city doesn't quite feel right.
"For us, it's not Christmas because we are not at home with family," Julien said. In Toulouse, there are much more holiday lights installed on the streets, and "when we walk around the streets, you see many, many Santa Clauses," he said. The family hasn't spotted any Santas in the city so far, but look forward to visiting gospel choirs in Harlem in the next few days.
Jose Serra, who's visiting from Miami but is originally from Spain, remembers the times in Madrid when he would celebrate Christmas until Jan. 6, and took part in different traditions on each day of the holiday.
When he moved to Miami three years ago, he found the city lacking the same spirit. "That's why Santa said let's come here to New York," Serra said. He said Santa gifted him, his wife, and three children the plane tickets.
Christmas in New York isn't quite like Madrid, but it's close enough for Serra.
Additional reporting by Catherine Yang.

"This book is an amazing compilation of the game's history as seen through the eyes of my friend Jerry Rice, aka The GOAT. If you are a football fan, you are going to love this book almost as much as you loved watching Jerry play!" --Barry Sanders, Hall of Fame Class of 2004
The authors of the New York Times bestseller 50 Years, 50 Moments celebrate the first 100 years of the National Football League, interweaving history, personal stories, memories, and observations of some of its greatest players, coaches, and advocates to chronicle football's amazing evolution from a fledgling regional fly-by-night operation into a multi-billion global brand and one of America's leading franchises.
Over the past century, professional football has transformed from a game played in leather helmets on cow pastures to one of the most high-tech, popular sports on the planet. In this entertaining and concise history, Jerry Rice and Randy O. Williams celebrate the NFL's centennial, bringing together colorful memories, insights, and personal experiences and observations from the heroes, losers, innovators, and defining legends who have played the game at its highest level. America's Game is filled with inside stories of the league's fiercest rivalries, closest competitions, and most memorable characters, from the early days of Red "The Galloping Ghost" Grange and "Slingin'" Sammy Baugh to Jim Brown and "Broadway" Joe Namath to Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, and Tom Brady.
Cowboy fans will never forget how Roger Staubach's Hail Mary lifted his team to a last-second playoff victory over the Vikings. Patriot followers will always point to The Tuck Rule Game as a franchise landmark where Adam Vinatieri's two clutch kicks in deep snow propelled his team to victory over the Raiders. Generations of Steelers fans will celebrate James Harrison's electrifying 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII. All are among the most memorable moments in NFL history. Divided by increments of twenty-five years, each section of America's Game includes the authors' selections for their "All Star" players and teams.
Incorporating Rice's long-standing, insider knowledge with Williams' interviews with those who made it happen or witnessed it firsthand--from players and coaches to broadcasters and journalists--America's Game is a unique tribute to this enduring cultural phenomenon, and will become the authoritative tribute to all that is great about the sport Americans--and the world--loves.

Tag: April 4 2015 total eclipse
Don't Blink! April 4th Lunar Eclipse Shortest of the Century
Get ready for one awesome total lunar eclipse early Saturday morning April 4th. For the third time in less than a year, the Moon dips into Earth's shadow, its dazzling white globe turning sunset red right before your eyes. All eclipses are not-to-miss events, but Saturday's totality will be the shortest in a century. Brief but beautiful – just like life. Read on to find out how to make the most of it.
Four total lunar eclipses in succession with no partials in between is called a tetrad. The April 4th eclipse is part of a tetrad that started last April and will wrap up on September 28. During the 21st century there will be eight sets of tetrads. Credit: NASA
Lunar eclipses don't usually happen in any particular order. A partial eclipse is followed by a total is followed by a penumbral and so on. Instead, we're in the middle of a tetrad, four total eclipses in a row with no partials in between. The final one happens on September 28. Even more remarkable, part or all of them are visible from the U.S. Tetrads will be fairly common in the 21st century with eight in all. We're lucky — between 1600 and 1900 there were none! For an excellent primer on the topic check out fellow Universe Today writer David Dickinson's "The Science Behind the Blood Moon Tetrad".

Lots of people have taken to calling the tetrad eclipses Blood Moons, referring to the coppery color of lunar disk when steeped in Earth's shadow and the timing of both April events on the Jewish Passover. Me? I prefer Bacon-and-Eggs Moon. For many of us, the eclipse runs right up till sunrise with the Moon setting in bright twilight around 6:30 a.m. What better time to enjoy a celebratory breakfast with friends after packing away your gear?

But seriously, Saturday morning's eclipse will prove challenging for some. While observers in far western North America, Hawaii, Japan, New Zealand and Australia will witness the entire event, those in the mountain states will see the Moon set while still in totality. Meanwhile, skywatchers in the Midwest and points East will see only the partial phases in a brightening dawn sky. Here are the key times of eclipse events by time zone:
A total lunar eclipse occurs only during full moon phase when the Sun, Earth and Moon lie in a straight line. The Moon slips directly behind Earth into its shadow. The outer part of the shadow or penumbra is a mix of sunlight and shadow and only partially dark. From the inner shadow, called the umbra, the Sun is completely blocked from view. A small amount of sunlight refracted or bent by Earth's atmosphere into the umbra, spills into the shadow, coloring the eclipsed Moon red.
Eclipse Events EDT CDT MDT PDT
Penumbra eclipse begins 5:01 a.m. 4:01 a.m. 3:01 a.m. 2:01 a.m.
Partial eclipse begins 6:16 a.m. 5:16 a.m. 4:16 a.m. 3:16 a.m.
Total eclipse begins ——– ——– 5:58 a.m. 4:58 a.m.
Greatest eclipse ——– ——– 6:00 a.m. 5:00 a.m.
Total eclipse ends ——– ——– 6:03 a.m. 5:03 a.m.
Partial eclipse ends ——— ——– ——– 6:45 a.m.
Penumbra eclipse ends ——— ——— ——– ——–
* During the penumbral phase, shading won't be obvious until ~30 minutes before partial eclipse.
Partial eclipse, when the Moon first enters Earth's dark umbral shadow, begins at 5:16 a.m. CDT near the start of morning twilight. Totality begins at 6:58 a.m. with the Moon already set for the eastern half of the country. Credit: Fred Espenak
This eclipse will also be the shortest total eclipse of the 21st century; our satellite spends just 4 minutes and 43 seconds inside Earth's umbra or shadow core. That's only as long as a typical solar eclipse totality. Ah, the irony.
Better have your camera ready or you'll miss it. The maps below show the maximum amount of the Moon visible shortly before setting from two eastern U.S. cities and the height of the totally eclipsed Moon from two western locations. Click each panel for more details about local circumstances.

Seattle and the West Coast get a great view of totality in a dark sky. The final partial phases will also be visible. Sunrise there is 6:40 a.m. Source: Stellarium
Now that you know times and shadow coverage, let's talk about the fun part — what to look for as the event unfolds. You'll need to find a location in advance with a good view to the southwest as most of the action happens in that direction. Once that detail's taken care of and assuming clear weather, you can kick back in a folding chair or with your back propped against a hillside and enjoy.
During the early partial phases you may not see the shadowed portion of the Moon with the naked eye. Binoculars and telescopes will show it plainly. But once the Moon is about 50% covered, the reddish-orange tint of the shadowed half becomes obvious. During total eclipse (right), the color is intense. Credit: Jim Schaff
The entire eclipse can be enjoyed without any optical aid, though I recommend a look through binoculars now and then. The eclipsed Moon appears distinctly three-dimensional with only the slightest magnification, hanging there like an ornament among the stars. The Earth's shadow appears to advance over the Moon, but the opposite is true; the Moon's eastward orbital motion carries it deeper and deeper into the umbra.
Nibble by nibble the sunlit Moon falls into shadow. By the time it's been reduced to half, the shaded portion looks distinctly red even to the naked eye. Notice that the shadow is curved. We live on a spherical planet and spheres cast circular shadows. Seeing the globe of Earth projected against the Moon makes the roundness of our home planet palpable.
A simulated view looking back at Earth from the Moon during a total lunar eclipse on Earth. Sunlight grazing Earth's circumference gets filtered by our atmosphere in exactly the same way the setting or rising Sun looks red. All the cooler colors have been scattered away by air and Red light, bent into the umbra by atmospheric refraction, bathes the lunar surface in red. As you might have guessed, when we see a total lunar eclipse on Earth, lunar inhabitants see a total eclipse of the Sun by Earth. Source: Stellarium
When totality arrives, the entire lunar globe throbs with orange, copper or rusty red. These sumptuous hues originate from sunlight filtered and bent by Earth's atmosphere into the umbral shadow. Atmospheric particles have removed all the cooler colors, leaving the reds and oranges from a billion sunrises and sunsets occurring around the planet's circumference. Imagine for a moment standing on the Moon looking back. Above your head would hang the black disk of Earth, nearly four times the size of the Moon in our sky, ringed by a narrow corona of fiery light.
Color varies from one eclipse to the next depending on the amount of water, dust and volcanic ash suspended in Earth's atmosphere. The December 30, 1982 eclipse was one of the darkest in decades due to a tremendous amount of volcanic dust from the eruption of the Mexican volcano El Chichon earlier that year.
The more particles and haze, the greater the light absorption and darker the Moon. That said, this eclipse should be fairly bright because the Moon does not tread deeply into Earth's shadow. It's in for a quick dip of totality and then resumes partial phases.
The Moon's color can vary from yellow-orange to dark, smoky brown during totality depending on the state of the atmosphere. You can also see lots of stars in the sky right up to the Moon's edge when it's in Earth's shadow. This photo from last April's eclipse. Spica is below the Moon and Mars to the right. Credit: Bob King
It's northern edge, located close to the outer fringe of Earth's umbra, should appear considerably brighter than the southern, which is closer to the center or darkest part of the umbra.
Earth's shadow exposed! When a lunar eclipse occurs at dusk or dawn we have the rare opportunity to see Earth's shadow on the distant Moon at the same time it's visible as a dark purple band cast on the upper atmosphere as seen here on October 8, 2015. Credit: Bob King
Besides the pleasure of seeing the Moon change color, watch for the sky to darken as totality approaches. Eclipses begin with overwhelming moonlight and washed out, star-poor skies. As the Moon goes into hiding, stars return in a breathtaking way over a strangely eerie landscape. Don't forget to turn around and admire the glorious summer Milky Way rising in the eastern sky.
Lunar eclipses remind us we live in a Solar System made of these beautiful, moving parts that never fail to inspire awe when we look up to notice.
In case you can't watch the eclipse from your home due to weather or circumstance, our friends at the Virtual Telescope Project and SLOOH will stream it online.

Most of the Football Experts are declaring Spain the Favourite team for winning this World Cup but Netherlands is also not a bad team and can defeat Spain. Lets see who picks up the Trophy of FIFA World Cup 2010 today?


The amended bill ups the size of financial penalties for unlicensed broadcasting to $2 million, requires the FCC's Enforcement Bureau to conduct an annual sweep of the top five radio markets where radio piracy is most prevalent (with follow-up "monitoring sweeps"), gives field agents the option to skip the initial warning-letter in cases where the broadcasts are ongoing, and requires the FCC to establish a database of both licensed and unlicensed radio stations. It also notes that no additional funding will flow to the FCC in order to undertake these new regulatory burdens.
Debate on the PIRATE Act was nearly non-existent. Bill sponsor Leonard Lance (R-NJ, $3,000 in campaign donations from the NAB this cycle, $97,875 from Communications/Electronics industries as a whole in 2018), claimed once again that pirate radio signals interfere with EAS messages (there is no concrete evidence that this has ever occurred) and with "Federal Aviation Administration operations," though according to our own Enforcement Action Database, this has been alleged to have occurred a total of 12 times in the last 10 years, with just two of those cases happening in New Jersey, and none of them actually causing any loss of air traffic communications.
Cosponsor Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MA, $4,000 in campaign donations from the NAB this cycle, $88,317 from Communications/Electronics industries as a whole in 2018) provided a bipartisan sheen of consensus to the "debate" by eseentially repeating Lance's unverified and overblown assertions.
Finally, Dingell was followed by fellow cosponsor Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL, $3,000 in campaign donations from the NAB this cycle, $71,750 from Communciations/Electronics industries as a whole in 2018), who claimed that there have been "instances in which emergency service communciations have been hindered because of illegal operators, including off the Gulf Coast of Florida," without providing any concrete evidence of this assertion. Given that all known contemporary radio pirates in the United States broadcast from land, and have done so for the last ~30 years, it's anyone's guess from where Bilirakis pulled this whopper.
It's interesting that no other Representatives have come forward to co-sponsor the bill, save for the 14 who initially signed onto it, though Rep. Lance did ask for (and receive) a five-day extension for other members to add remarks to the Congresional Record. It remains to be seen just who will introduce the PIRATE Act in the Senate for consideration, and whether or not it will be similarly fast-tracked there. The top recipient of NAB largesse this election-cycle for a sitting Senator that hails from a hot-spot state for unlicensed broadcasting is Bill Nelson (D-FL, $17,250), though the NAB has spread five-figure love around to the Senate party leadership and campaign committees as well.


Première 1928 - Den Haag - Willem Andriessen, Residentie Orkest o.l.v.
This month we add another chapter to our rediscovery of a truly significant Dutch composer of the early twentieth century. Our releases of Jan van Gilse's symphonies have revealed a composer of emotional depth with his own personal style. He was by no means a musical innovator but stood foursquare on the foundation of tonal late romanticism and wrote music of dazzling beauty. His sumptuous, romantic, and ravishing orchestral music abounds in pathos, drama, and passion. Between 1927 and 1939 his Dance Sketches for Piano and Small Orchestra were performed about twenty times. The orchestra consisting of thirty instrumentalists is very much treated as an ensemble of soloists in the strings and in the winds. The difficult piano part and the transparent chamber orchestra operate as complete equals and thus move toward the old understanding of »concerted musical action.« The composer formed his Paraphrase on the basis of various dance forms, interpreting them in his own way and no doubt also with ironic delight. His Variations on a St. Nicholas Song earned him fame with the broad public – not only because the work was available both for orchestra and for piano four hands. The theme of the piece is the popular children's song »Zie ginds komt de stoomboot uit Spanje weer aan« (»Over there the steamboat from Spain again arrives«) and appealed to the whole of Dutch society.

Feds demand Mar-a-Lago, Trump campaign records on mysterious donor
Investigators are seeking evidence from Mar-a-Lago and Trump Victory as they build a potential case against Cindy Yang and possibly others close to her.
Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., this week sent subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach, and Trump Victory, a political fundraising committee, demanding they turn over all records relating to Republican Party donor Li "Cindy" Yang and several of her associates and companies, the Miami Herald has learned.
Yang, a South Florida massage-parlor entrepreneur, is the target of a public corruption investigation seeking to determine if she funneled money from China to the president's re-election campaign or otherwise violated campaign-finance laws. She became a GOP donor in the 2016 election cycle and opened a consulting company that promised Chinese businesspeople the chance to attend events at Mar-a-Lago and gain access to Trump and his inner circle. Some of those events were campaign fundraisers that required guests to buy tickets for entry, payments that are considered political contributions. Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to U.S. political campaigns.
Investigators are seeking evidence from Mar-a-Lago and Trump Victory as they build a potential case against Yang and possibly others close to her. The president's club and the fundraising committee are not the targets of the investigation. The subpoenas cover records from January 2017 to the present. A spokeswoman for Yang did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
One subpoena, issued by a federal grand jury in West Palm Beach, compels Mar-a-Lago to turn over all documents, records and communications relating to Yang, as well as 11 other people, one charity and seven companies affiliated with her, according to a person familiar with the investigation who asked for anonymity to discuss an ongoing probe. The people named in that subpoena include Yang's family members, former employees at her massage parlors and several donors to Trump Victory. Prosecutors were trying to serve the subpoena to Mar-a-Lago through a South Florida law firm, the source said.
The second subpoena, for Trump Victory, was served to attorneys at a Washington, D.C., law firm. It seeks campaign-finance records relating to Yang and her associates.
Mar-a-Lago is owned by the Trump Organization, the president's family company. Trump Victory is a joint fundraising committee for the president and the Republican National Committee. It supports his re-election efforts.
The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday. A Trump Victory official said: "Trump Victory makes every effort possible to ensure that all contributions are made in accordance with the law. While we can't comment on any possible ongoing investigations, of course our committee would comply with any request from law enforcement to ensure all contributions are made legally."
The Justice Department declined to comment.
The investigation is being handled by the FBI and the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington. While special counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election has ended, the new probe examining Chinese money may add to growing concerns over foreign influence heading into the 2020 election. (In a separate matter, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami have been investigating possible Chinese espionage operations in South Florida targeting Mar-a-Lago.)
Prosecutors handling the public-corruption probe had previously subpoenaed Bing Bing Peranio, a former receptionist at one of Yang's massage parlors, for information about a $5,400 donation she made to Trump Victory ahead of a March 3, 2018, Republican National Committee event at Mar-a-Lago. Investigators are seeking to learn if foreign nationals may have been the original source of that money. In interviews with the New York Times and Miami Herald, Peranio has refused to answer when asked if Yang reimbursed her for the donation, a violation of campaign-finance laws against "straw" donors.
Li 'Cindy' Yang poses with President Donald Trump at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago on March 3, 2018. She received a signed photograph. A flier for the event advertised a 'reception, photo and two seats for dinner with President Trump' for a donation of $50,000. [Miami Herald]
Peranio was named in the Mar-a-Lago subpoena as well. So were several other people who made donations to the president's re-election campaign shortly before the event.
Concerns that Yang could be funneling foreign money to Trump's campaign began in March after the Miami Herald revealed she was using Chinese-language social media to advertise ticket sales for events at Mar-a-Lago to Chinese business executives, and had been photographed several times with Trump and other leading Republican politicians. She promoted the GOP fundraisers and charity galas at Mar-a-Lago as ways to meet the president, his family and his advisers. The phenomenon was dubbed "Trump Tourism."
Last week, a campaign-finance watchdog group filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Yang accepted payments from wealthy Chinese individuals in order to buy them tickets to RNC events. It is illegal to not disclose the original source of a political contribution, and it is illegal for foreign nationals — people who do not hold U.S. citizenship or a green card — to contribute to an American political campaign. Foreign nationals can attend fundraisers as guests so long as they do not reimburse the person who paid for their entry.
Yang has denied any wrongdoing and is suing the Miami Herald for defamation. The civil case is pending. She and her family have donated nearly $70,000 to Trump since his election.
RUBBING SHOULDERS
Since Trump became president, the RNC has chosen to host several campaign events at Mar-a-Lago to raise money for his re-election.
On March 3, 2018, Cindy Yang attended one of those events as a VIP guest after contributing the $50,000 required to receive a ticket and a signed picture with the president.
Yang would later use that photo and others from the event on the website of her consulting business, GY US Investments, to advertise access to the president to overseas clients. The subpoena compels Mar-a-Lago to turn over information on GY US Investments and a similarly named company, according to the source.
Cindy Yang attended Sen. Rick Scott's Sunshine Ball in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 8. The event asked $25,000 for a photo opportunity with Scott. [Miami Herald]
Over the past year, Yang advertised at least eight Trump-related events to Chinese clients. Five of those events gave proceeds to Trump Victory — the committee dedicated to raising money for Trump's re-election. Two of the campaign fundraisers were hosted at Mar-a-Lago, and the others at various venues around the country, including one at Cipriani restaurant in New York City.
Among the parties named in the Mar-a-Lago subpoena are:
▪ Fuming Yang and Guiying Zhang, Yang's father and mother, and Zubin Gong, her husband. They could not be reached.
▪ Katrina Eggertsson, an employee at one of Yang's massage parlors who donated $5,400 to Trump Victory and $5,400 to the president's campaign fund before the Mar-a-Lago event that Yang attended as a VIP, according to FEC records. Eggertsson did not respond to a message.
▪ Jon Deng, a businessman from Palm Beach County who belonged to a political group called the National Committee of Asian American Republicans. Yang served as a fundraiser for that group, commonly called the Asian GOP. In the weeks before a 2017 Trump fundraiser in New York City where Yang brought several Chinese-speaking guests, Deng and his wife, Hui Liu, donated $85,000 to Trump Victory. At that event, two guests of the Asian GOP received photos with Trump priced at $50,000. Neither is recorded as making a contribution. Deng did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. In the past, Deng denied wrongdoing and said he no longer worked with Yang.
▪ Li Jing, a New York-based marketing executive who contributed $27,000 to Trump Victory ahead of the New York fundraiser. Jing previously told the Herald she did not recall the donation. Jing hung up the phone when reached by a reporter Wednesday. She did not respond to subsequent text messages.
▪ Elizabeth MacCall, a former employee at Yang's day-spa chain who donated $5,400 to Trump Victory and $5,400 to Trump's presidential campaign fund. MacCall declined to comment Wednesday.
▪ Haizhen Gong, owner of a day spa in South Florida who donated $5,400 to Trump Victory and $5,400 to the president's campaign fund. A woman who answered a phone number listed for Gong said she did not speak English when a reporter called, and hung up twice when a Chinese-speaking reporter subsequently reached her.
▪ Several companies affiliated with Yang, including Destination of the World, Fufu International, Tokyo Beauty and Massage School and a nonprofit called the Women's Charity Foundation. One of the charity's founding members is Xianqin Qu, leader of the Florida chapter of a group known as a foreign arm of the Communist Party of China.
Yang had planned to attend an RNC fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago scheduled for March 10 of this year.
But she canceled at the last minute after the Herald reported that she had once owned the spa where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with receiving sex acts from a masseuse. (He denies the allegations.) Yang had sold that spa years earlier but continued to own a chain of day spas that, in at least two cases, were reported to police for prostitution.

George Pindua wrote, 25th May 2017: Love for Others Limited Company started the implementation project for the communities affected with drought and hunger in Mboga, Msoga, and Lugoba villages. LFO Ltd is Nonprofit Company, her office situated in Morogoro Municipality is intended to reduce poverty among the communities. Even though still the mission, LFO is focusing on support small scale farmers in rural area. Since the human beings are facing challenges in these areas, LFO through her directors donated some funds to support people affected with hunger in Lugoba, Msoga and Mboga villages.
Here some stories about the beneficiaries.
Mr and Mrs Seleman Mghumba received bag of flour, both of them are blind people. Unfortunately they are now homeless, because their house was destroyed by the flood two day before receiving the donation.
The women in Lulenge Village received bags of flour during the project implementation.
We encountered significant problems and difficulties: 1) because number of families has increased and led to lack of food for some families, and 2) this is due to limited resources we have during the implementation. On the other hand, 3) LFO discovered that some sufferers cannot even read and write and hence a thumb ink print was used as a signature. We also discovered 4) people who are blind in those villages, because they have inadequate health services. Last but not least, we found that 5) the house of the blind couple was destroyed by the flood due to heavy rains just two days before receiving their donation. They are now homeless and they need emergency support to rebuild their house, see the photo above, Mr and Mrs Seleman Mghumba.
The implementation of this program was very successful, because it has answered the challenges the hunger people are facing in our communities. However, LFO and government should replan how to support rural people and especially old and disabled people. Despite the support we gave, still our people need more support, because their maize plants are at early stage and it will take some months, before they can harvest their crop. If stakeholders will not take an action to support them, it is obvious that deaths are unavoidable.

Imagine wearing a little device on your shirt while you are praying. Imagine this device is so clever that it records your Quran recitation, and then immediately sends a file to your laptop or phone saying what pronunciation you got wrong - so that you can practice it better later. Imagine you're driving home for iftar time, and could send a text message from your car to your oven to start cooking food so that it's ready by the time you get home!
With an increasingly interconnected world, it might soon be possible for the most unlikely of devices or machines to communicate with other devices and machines, as well as you, through wifi! These days, this concept is called 'the Internet of everything', where communication is at an all time high. Can you imagine how machines and items of the future might use the internet to talk to each other, and what amazing things could come out of that? What could you do with the Internet of everything?
Learning aims: Familiarity with emerging technologies, introduction to complex concepts, problem solving skills, creative thinking.
You'll need: Pen, paper, Youtube.

Yesterday , a traffic sub -inspector in presence of an enforcement official of the transport department found the speed governor of route number 309 switched off. The driver explained it away as " jugar technology".
Once the speed governor is switched off, the police cannot find out the actual speed of the bus. The drivers generally shoot the speed limits, resulting in fatal accidents. The speed governor shows the actual speed and the driver is challaned. If it is switched off, it does not show the actual speed. The manufacturing company has not made a provision for the switch. Technicians fit the device and connect it to the speedometer, the sources said.
The authorised agency seals the speed governor. In the majority of the buses the seal was found broken.
Israr, the extortionist was arrested from Baraut. He had been threatening Anil Jain, a city builder since July 15 and demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh. Israr had been identifying himself as a member of the G gang which was responsible for the murder of a Meerut deputy jailor.
Anil Jain had complained to the Noida SSP about it who had assigned the job to the anti-extortion cell.
The cell number from which the threats were issued to Jain had been purchased in the name of Rajiv Kumar Singh of Arya Nagar, Meerut. The police found that the name and address was fake.
According to the popular opinion, the alleged lackadaisical approach of the political executive with regard to Faridabad is starling. The residents of this oldest and developed city have problems ranging from lack of civic amenities to day-to-day administration including matters pertaining to the police.
Also, Faridabad is perhaps the second important cosmopolitan station in the state after Gurgaon, which has taken off on the path of modernisation and industrialisation at a faster pace. Hence, it deserves vigilant ministration by the government.
The minister who chairs the meeting of the committee in Faridabad is Mrs Kartari Devi. Today's meeting was officially scheduled to begin at 11 am. But only two officers were witnessed at the venue of the meeting. After more than an hour of the official schedule, the minister arrived with the front rank officers in the district in tow. The complainants, though, had come on time from different parts of the district.
As per the practice in Haryana, the members on the committee are nominated by the government on political considerations. There are about 70 members on the committee in Faridabad, perhaps considered to be the biggest one in the state. Only a couple were seen present at the scheduled timing when the meeting was to commence.
There were 11 points to be disposed of at today's meeting, some of them were pending cases. According to some members on the committee, the standard of complaints remains trivial in nature. The complaints are, of course, processed and listed by district authorities.
A designated minister by the Chief Minister is allotted one or more districts to chair the meeting of the District Grievances Redressal and Public Relation Committee, which takes place every month.
To start with, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was officially the executive chairing the meetings in the district. The meetings were not held in a satisfactory manner perhaps due to hectic schedule of the Chief Minister. An alternative arrangement was made in the form of another minister H.S. Chatha, being made the incharge. However, this did not appear to have produced satisfactory progress of the committee and its meetings.
On Saturday, August 25 at 8 pm, Discovery Channel will present to viewers in India the fascinating story of unmatched ambition, vision, pride and progress in its premiere programme, "24 Hours With The Delhi Metro". The programme will also be aired on Sunday, September 2 at 9 am.
"24 Hours With The Delhi Metro" is the story of how a train network has come to symbolise the present and future of Delhi, seen through the people who designed, work and use the system, in 24 hours. The programme showcases the variety of benefits it offers to its citizens, from old to young from corporate users to shopkeepers from tourists to daily commuters.
With countless challenges that appeared on the way such as tunnelling under old and dilapidated buildings and structures, crossing through busy railway lines and constructing through overcrowded locations, the programme illustrates the ingeniousness of DMRC's MD E. Sreedharan and his team.
An ideal solution for bridging the growing distances of an expanding city, the programme presents how Delhi Metro has transformed the city, renewing its character and landscape. It narrates how alongside offering the city a facelift, it has empowered the economic prosperity of markets and locations by increasing footfalls into the otherwise assumed out-of-reach market places such as Chandni Chowk and residential colonies like Dwarka.
The programme that took about one year to complete covers how in the current scenario of a growing class-divide, Delhi Metro has strengthened the city's societal framework as witnessed in the range of people—rich, poor, educated, physically challenged and illiterate—who daily travel shoulder-to-shoulder through the same network. . Considered one of the finest infrastructure projects ever undertaken in India, Delhi Metro has attracted compliments from across the world for its engineering, construction speed and financial diligence.
When completed in 2021, Delhi Metro is expected to cover a total stretch of 381 km, making it the second largest metro system in the world after the London Underground.
In the years to come, it is expected to take off over 4.0 million commuters per day from the roads of Delhi, reducing the load from the roads, saving precious fuel, time and reducing the city's pollution level.
It also has the responsibility of the success of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The employees of Delhi State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT) will not be entitled to those benefits available to government employees, the Supreme Court has ruled.
The court said that the SCERT was not essentially an instrumentality of the state as defined under Article 12 of the Constitution to make its employees entitled to the same service benefits, which are available to the other government employees.
The employees had claimed extension of pension, gratuity, provident fund, advancement for better career, loans for housing, car, computers and other financial benefits to them as were available to the other staff of the government.
The employees of the SCERT had tried to prove that the body stood on the same footing as the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) as an instrumentality of the state and, therefore, all rules relating to other government staff extended to them as well.
The Delhi High Court had accepted their plea and held that SCERT was an instrumentality of the state under Article 12 of the Constitution and all rules of the government employment applied to it.
It rejected the stand of SCERT that it was only running on the grant of government, advanced mainly to improve the education related activities, particularly concerning the academics, and if this grant was spent on employees, the very purpose of the creation of the body would be defeated.
A Bench of Justices P K Balasubramanyan and P P Naolekar of the apex court did not agree with the High Court's findings and set it aside. It said such interpretation of the law relating to formation of the SCERT would defeat the very objectives for which it was created.
"In the matter of education, surely, the interests of the society at large should prevail and issue of any direction that may endanger such interests must be done with extreme caution and only after careful deliberation," the apex court said, allowing an appeal of Lt Governor of Delhi against the High Court order.
On the face of the purpose of the memorandum issued for creation of the SCERT by the NCT government, the direction issued by the High Court to provide every benefit to its employees could not be sustained.
The case in the High Court was initiated by SCERT employees, led by V K Sodhi some years ago.
Additional Sessions Judge Mamta Sehgal, who heard the final arguments yesterday, reserved the final verdict in the case. The court, however, did not fix a date for the pronouncement of verdict.
Concluding its final arguments yesterday, the CBI had held the theatre owners criminally liable for the tragedy as the emergency safety measures were not in place.
Appearing for the probe agency, senior advocate Harish Salve said that the persons, who were getting financial gains from the theatre's operation, were culpable for the lapses.
The theatre had turned into a gas chamber where exit doors of the balcony were closed, leaving no scope for the victims who died of asphyxia, he said.
Earlier on August 8, the accused, Sushil and Gopal Ansal, had concluded their arguments in the case and pleaded innocence.
The duo, owners of the theatre, had refuted the charge that they were at the helm of affairs of the company which owned the Uphaar cinema.
The prosecution had alleged that the accused were directly and criminally negligent in the management of the theatre.
Fifty-nine people lost their lives while watching Bollywood blockbuster 'Border' in the theatre on June 13, 1997.
Initially, 16 people were named as accused, including the owners of the cinema hall and they were charged with causing death by negligence, endangering life and relevant provisions of the Cinematography Act, 1952.
Four accused died during the trial.
"It is unfortunate that family members are behaving like sharks and vultures to the old lady," a bench comprising chief justice M.K. Sharma and justice Sanjeev Khanna observed yesterday.
The court cancelled the gift deed of the property belonging to the nonagenarian doctor Prem D Lall, which was executed by her Singapore-based grandson Chinmay Arora, in May this year.
The bench asked Arora to return Rs 4.5 lakh to Lall by August 30. The money was withdrawn from Lall's bank account without taking her in confidence.
The court directed police to deploy two maidservants in the Green Park house, where Dr Lall stays alone. The court's order came after she appeared before it in a wheel chair and recorded her statement. She said that her grandson had neither informed her about the gift deed nor, about the withdrawal of money.
She informed the court that Arora had stealthily taken her thumb impression on a blank paper.
Dr Lall has three daughters, who are settled abroad. She expressed before the court her desire to stay in her house and pleaded to provide security to her.
The court was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Dr Lall's two daughters, alleging that their elder sister's son had illegally obtained her house and had taken her to Singapore. He never allowed any family member to meet her, they alleged.
and claimed to create a flutter in Faridiabad. Gurgaon and Faridabad are two important cosmopolitan cities and important part of the politics of South Haryana. They account for two parliamentary seats in Haryana.
Bishnoi has already announced to organise a rally in Rohtak, the home district of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on December 2. He has also announced of floating a much-awaited political party to provide an alternative to the people of Haryana.
Col. Mahender Bisla, a loyalist of Bishnoi, here claimed that Bishnoi was getting a satisfactory response from the people of South Haryana, especially the Ahirwal belt. He cited the case of Rao Narbir and Jaswant Singh who were senior Ahir leaders of South Haryana.
Rao Narbir Singh has been minister in Haryana several times and also son of one of the great leaders of South Haryana, late Mahavir Singh. Rao Narbir Singh has made it clear that he would contest from Mahendragarh in South Haryana in the next parliamentary election.
Bisla said that Bishnoi will not get into the Congress fold and the proposed political party will have no alliance with any political party in the coming election in the state.
To the criticism that many leaders in the Congress who were close to Bhajan Lal do not consider Bishnoi as their leader, he countered saying that senior leaders from not only the Congress but other parties, including those having national stature were joining the movement.
Pro VC of Leeds Metropolitan University (UK) Prof Stephen Parkinson would inagurate the two-day summit.
Distinguished corporate stalwarts will be honored during the two-day summit.
Panel discussions by panelists including, Dr R.K. Khandal (Director, sriram institute for industrial research), Manoj Jha (MD, minda sai limited), Indu Wadhwa (Sr VP, HR and IR, G4S security services India ltd.), and K. Kalra (secretary general PHD chambers) will also be held.
More than 500 wrestlers from different parts of the country are to participate in the tournament. The tournament will carry the prize of Rs 1 Lakh each for wrestling gold cup and basketball.
Singh said that the government would try to create interest among students towards sports, so that their overall personality is developed. He said that Rajiv Gandhi loved sports and this was the reason behind the launching of various sports projects during his tenure.
He said that keeping in view the forthcoming Commonwealth Games, the state government would upgrade sports in schools here. He added that the government would prepare an action plan to provide better infrastructural facilities in schools like- stadium, sports complex, etc.
MP Sajjan Kumar, MLA Surender Kumar and senior officials of education department also attended the programme.
He claimed that the state government had submitted a proposal for an airport at Bahadurgarh, which would have excellent connectivity with Delhi and other areas of NCR, through the KMP Expressway. He urged the board to impress upon the ministry of civil aviation for the early sanctioning of the project.
Stressing the need to speed up work on road and rail projects between Delhi and NCR, he urged the NCR planning board to impress upon the ministry of road transport and highways to take up the construction of Badarpur fly-over, which has been pending since a long time.
This would provide safe and convenient passage to pedestrians, including physically challenged persons and elders. She announced this while christening a three-level fly over at Punjabi Bagh as Hans Maharaj Setu.
Hans Maharaj Setu is situated at the intersection of NH-10 and Ring Road. The setu is facilitating smooth flow of traffic with the main flyover, a rotary at the ground level and an underpass for enabling the to and fro traffic between Rohtak Road, Peeragarhi side and Rohtak Road, Zakhira side.
The alleged accused used to supply stolen medicines in the open market by preparing fake OPD slips. Information was received by the police about one Mahesh, who was the receiver of the stolen medicines, which he would further sell in the open market at a low prices.
Mahesh was arrested while he was striking a deal for the medicines with an employee of the CGHS dispensary, Ashok Vihar. Raids were conducted in the dispensary and related documents were seized.
Other links in the chain were also established and three more alleged accused were arrested. One CPU that was being used to reproduce signatures of the doctors was also recovered.
A citation and award money of Rs 11 lakh was presented to the Dhrupad maestro. Political leaders, senior government officials, dignitaries, members of music fraternity and selected invitees were also present. The function was organised by the Delhi government and sahitya kala parishad.
The CM said that Dagar is not only known for the power and spontaneity of his aalaap, but also for his rich repertoire of composition. His music combined with the distinct style of his singing has captivated listeners beyond borders.
Dikshit added, "We feel proud in honouring a personality, who has been dominating classical music. Earlier, the sahitya kala parishad had honoured M.S. Subbulakshmi with the award.
Abut a fortnight ago Ashok Sharma had lodged a complaint with Kavi Nagar police station that Manish and his nephew had fired at him when he was passing the Rajapur railway level crossing.
The second accused has not been nabbed as yet.
Manish Pandit had fought the Assembly byelection from Ghaziabad in 2004. According to the police ,there are at least two dozen serious cases against Manish Pandit.
A case under the National Security Actmay be registered against Pandit.
Information was received at the New Ashok Nagar police station yesterday that about five persons in possession of weapons were hiding in the bushes near the CNG pump opposite Mulla Colony. A raid was conducted immediately after receiving the information and all the four alleged accused were apprehended.
On the 63rd birth anniversary of former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi, a delegation of aggarwal samaj led by Ajay Gupta, son of former Haryana Chief Minister Banarsi Dass Gupta, called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi and apprised her with the objective of the foundation.
He presented Sonia Gandhi with a cheque of Rs 1 lakh for the Rajiv Gandhi foundation. Darshana Gupta, daughter-in-law of Banarsi Dass Gupta, patron of Delhi Aggarwal Sammelan was also present.
Now one can search for books and simultaneously purchase them.
The search for the books can be done on books.google.co.in and the purchase can be completed on www.a1books.co.in, a press note stated.
Dikshit added "with the passing away of Qurtul-ain-Hyder, our country has lost a writer who started her literary journey in 1947. Her death is an irreparable loss to the Indian literary fraternity".

Meet the self-described 'good kids' behind Hobo Johnson
Derek Lynch, left, and Frank Lopes Jr., better known as Hobo Johnson and the Lovemakers, relax in the Oak Park backyard where they produce their music. The group is set to return to Concerts in the Park after last year's performance in Cesar Chavez Plaza.

After hours of practicing in a patchy, muddy backyard on the edge of Oak Park, clad in a flannel and a backward baseball cap, rapper Hobo Johnson may have gotten the big break he was looking for.
Hobo Johnson, whose real name is Frank Lopes Jr., and his bandmate Derek Lynch — the core of Lopes's band the Love-
makers — received an Instagram message from Joseph Pepin of Control Music Group, who manages the likes of indie-pop band Phoenix, Indonesian hip-hop artist Rich Chigga and singer-songwriter Hana Pestle.
The message expressed the company's interest in managing the group, to which they excitedly agreed.
"We posted (our) videos on Facebook and on YouTube," Lopes said. "Somehow, I personally don't believe it but … It took him through some weird YouTube wormhole and it went down to Oak Park, Sacramento."
Since they signed with Control, Lopes and Lynch have had to raise money to buy the tools they need to improve their music.
The pair started a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $3,000, which was raised within 25 hours. Lopes and Lynch were nervous to set such a high goal, because they did not expect their fans to respond so positively at such a quick rate.
"I wanted to put it at $1500, because I didn't think anyone would want to have anything from us, but they did," Lopes said.
The campaign gained traction quickly and raised over $5,500 by Feb. 26. Lopes and Lynch have decided to use the funds for a re-release of their latest album, "Live From Oak Park."
According to Lopes, the goal of the re-release is to rework some musical aspects of the album. The duo wants to add vocals, cello, violin and saxophone elements as well as their own bass and guitar.
"I wanted to make it a much more musical thing," Lopes said. "The original project was just piano, drums, and my voice, and nothing else. The words are really good, but I want the music to be really good."
Lopes started exploring music as a child, and said that he would make up poems to sing in the shower and rap on his walk home from school.
"I was known as the kid who would walk to school and rap the whole time," Lopes said. "I just always kept it in my mind that it was something I wanted to do."
In high school, Lopes turned to music after selling his PlayStation console.
He used the money to buy a microphone and a MIDI controller, which is a device that helps artists translate and manipulate their music.
Ever since, Lopes has been making beats and rapping over them.
"Just recently I became good at rapping — kinda — before I was pretty bad and now I'm not as bad," Lopes said.
For Lynch, learning guitar was what started his journey in music. Eventually he got tired of practicing guitar in his room and branched out by meeting other local artists.
Lynch and Lopes met at an open mic night in Del Paso Heights and became close after another rendezvous at Goldfield Trading Post bar in downtown Sacramento.
"Ever since then we've been kickin' it — it's a merry relationship," Lopes said. Lopes' and Lynch's goals are to make good music, but also to stay afloat.
Lopes describes his end goals among other things as wishing to buy his mother a house and to build his credit.
"Of course I wanna make amazing music, but it's hard to do when you're poor and you don't know what you're going to eat or how you're going to pay rent," Lopes said.
Another goal of Lopes' is to create a production company for other Sacramento artists to be able to create and mix their music without barriers.
"We're two good kids," Lopes said."We wouldn't hurt a fly. We mean well. (We're) gentle souls looking to have a good show. (We) just wanna make love and make music sometimes."

Excellent guys, exepcellent article! With all of the world's bad news lately, she shows us how right our youth can be!

I dont even know how I stumbled upon this-one of those late night, can't sleep, YouTube rabbit hole kind of finds. And now thank God for algorithms and your vastly growing well deserved fan base, you are a regular on my newsfeed. I said all that to say, you have a 42 year old fan all the way over in Bellingham Washington and if that doesn't just scream of your universal appeal I don't know what does. Hobo F**cking Johnson!
Scarlett on April 12th, 2018 11:16 pm
I think you guys are beautiful. I love the sincerity behind the music and the pure artistry that shines through… you can tell that there's passion and love powering your art. Until we meet in 'Real City'…
love and good vibes only, promise.

I absolutely 100,000,000%, hands down think that Hobo, and his crew will hit big. With his unique, well written lyrics, and music he has gained so many fans in such a short time. I personally relate to him and his music for the depth of the lyrics and what is behind it all. He is a soft soul, in his eyes you can tell the struggle he has daily, and holds down the traumas with his music to keep him going. I love his music!
Lucie on April 27th, 2018 2:11 pm
Wow…I don't know where to start. I'm just an older woman who has lived the disfunction I feel pouring out in your unbelievable music style. You are unbelievably real and artistic. Don't let anybody change your expression…you are amazing and your expression hits my soul in a way that is hard to explain. I normally listen to VERY tame music…stuff you would probably laugh at. When I heard your live version of "Peach Scone"…I can't possibly express how it effected me. You won't be unknown for long…there are lots of us out there that will totally get the message. I have now downloaded everything you have recorded…and I would have paid for it too!! Please make sure you come to Canada once you are famous and try not to laugh at the old chick crying in the background…what you do MATTERS please don't give up!!! Good luck to you and your band. Nothing out there is anything like you!!!!

These 5 men… are so genuine.
I had the pleasure of meeting all five – David, Ben, Jordan, Derek, and Frank – of them at a meet and greet and they were all so relaxed, and just great.
My mom went to the concert with me. She's been to many concerts but never a meet and greet and she said it was awesome as a first experience. We weren't rushed, in fact, Frank very much took his time with everyone. He talked on FaceTime with a fans friend, was reading something off another's phone, took individual pictures with groups of people and a group pic…
I had a shirt customized a few months prior and they all signed it and they said it was awesome. Jordan had even said it was cooler than some of their own merch.
The fan base is pretty chill. Though, before the show even started there was a group of drunk women who kept trying to fight each other and they were trying to do a mosh pit. It was extremely rude and annoying but they eventually chilled out so that's positive.
It was overall an amazing experience and I'd love to meet up with them again!

I absolutely love the music of Hobo Johnson and the lyrics are even better. Hes super talented and super chill. I went over the weekend to one of his concerts, and honestly it was one of the best I have ever attended. Good Luck guys I think you will end up doing very well.
