Legal Services Commission
– in the House of Lords at 3:24 pm on 8th February 2006.
All Lords debates on 8 Feb 2006
Baroness Howe of Idlicote Crossbench 3:24 pm, 8th February 2006
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What analysis has been undertaken of the likely effects of the decision taken by the Legal Services Commission to cease funding of specialist support services in England and Wales from July this year.
Hansard source (Citation: HL Deb, 8 February 2006, c657)
Baroness Ashton of Upholland Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Constitutional Affairs)
My Lords, specialist support contracts form part of the Legal Services Commission's special projects budget. That programme was reviewed and consulted on last summer. Given the pressure on the limited legal aid budget and the number of clients needing front-line legal advice, the commission concluded that the money would now be better spent on direct front-line advice to vulnerable legal aid clients.
Baroness Howe of Idlicote Crossbench
My Lords, I thank the Minister for, if I may say so, her somewhat disappointing Answer. Does she not agree that the commission's decision will have the effect in practice of withdrawing expert support from the front line? As the CAB, a truly front-line organisation, points out, that will have serious implications for its most socially excluded and vulnerable clients, who cannot secure such expert advice for themselves. Will the Minister therefore urge the commission to reconsider that decision?
My Lords, I am always sad to disappoint the noble Baroness, especially on her birthday. I do not agree with her proposition. The £2.3 million that will not be used from the end of the current contracts in July will be used to fund about 9,000 new front-line opportunities for people to get clear advice. In addition, £78 million is being spent on not-for-profit organisations, including CABs, to provide specialist support.
Lord Goodhart Shadow Lord Chancellor, Law Officers (Constitutional Affairs), Advisory Team On Legal Matters, Non-Departmental & Cross Departmental Responsibilities
My Lords, I am sure that the Minister and the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor have no wish to deny anyone access to justice, but will that not be the exact effect of the decision? Would the Minister care to admit that this, like other decisions taken recently—for instance, the substantial increase in family court fees—has been forced on the Legal Services Commission and the DCA against their will by the other Chancellor in 11 Downing Street?
My Lords, there is only one Lord Chancellor and only one Chancellor of the Exchequer. There could never be another Chancellor in any context. I disagree fundamentally with the noble Lord's assertion that this has been forced on anyone and that somehow the changes in the scheme will reduce the opportunities to get advice. The noble Lord will know well that there are probably about 1 million occasions where problems are unresolved because people do not know their rights or how to access advice. Anything that we can do to get front-line advice to people effectively and appropriately should be welcomed, and the change should be welcomed on that basis.
The Earl of Listowel Crossbench
My Lords, will the Minister indicate what kind of specialist support services will no longer be funded?
My Lords, there were 17 specialist support contracts in England and two in Wales to barristers' chambers, solicitors' firms and 11 not-for-profit organisations, with a budget for a whole year of approximately £2.9 million. I have already indicated that £78 million is available to not-for-profit organisations to provide their own specialist advice. The fundamental change has been to the quality of front-line advice. The contracting arrangements brought in have improved that dramatically. Together with peer review and other quality standards, that means that we can make the change and, as I indicated, create up to 9,000 opportunities to get front-line advice.

Q: Cannot capture swipe event in scrollableview to change button state within a view This is my first question so please be kind to me. In Appcelerator I have an Alloy/MVC app where I am using a scrollableview. I have created a custom button bar on the bottom of the screen that is contained in a separate view. If I click a button I can get it to change the button graphic and move to that page, but I cannot seem to figure out how to change the button graphic after swiping to another page. I have tried using event listeners on both the scrollableview and it's parent window, and it will capture(alert) the 'up' and 'down' scroll events, but will not capture the 'left' and 'right' events. It seems as though those events are somehow coded to only be tied to the pagination of the scrollable view. My goal is to capture a left/right event, then use that to fire a function that changes the button graphic. Does anyone have an idea of how to either capture the event or work around the problem?
Here is a sample of the code:
index.xml
<Alloy>
    <Window id="mainWindow">
        <ScrollableView id="contentView">
            <Require src="myController0"/>
            <Require src="myController1"/>
            <Require src="myController2"/>
            <Require src="myController3"/>
        </ScrollableView>
        <View id="navBarBackground"/>
        <Button id="b0" onClick="button0"/>
        <Button id="b1" onClick="button1"/>
        <Button id="b2" onClick="button2"/>
        <Button id="b3" onClick="button3"/>
    </Window>
</Alloy>

index.js
$.contentView.addEventListener('swipe', function(e){
alert(e.direction);
});

Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Apr 22nd, 2016: Nine Kings
I should say eight Kings and a Kaiser. I've seen this picture a couple times but never delved into it
In May 1910, European royalty trekked to London for the funeral of King Edward VII. Edward the Peacemaker, was "Uncle of Europe" —
the German Kaiser, the Russian Tsar, the Norwegian King, and the Dukes of Hesse, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Brunswick were his
nephews; his sisters married the kings of Hellenes and Denmark. Kings of Belgium, Portugal and Bulgaria were his second cousins.
Leading the funeral procession were twelve crowned heads and forty-seven imperial, royal, apostolic, or serene highnesses.
The lone commoner, former president Teddy Roosevelt, who got no respect, was pushed to the rear probably dodging
horse and elephant droppings.
Among the mourners were nine reigning kings, photographed together in what may be the only photograph of nine reigning kings, ever.
The funeral was the last time all of the European monarchs would meet before WW I, which would end half of the monarchies of Europe.
Five of the nine monarchies represented in the photo are still around.
~ Frederik VIII of Denmark (9) was the father of Haakon VII of Norway(1), and father-in-law of Queen Maud of Norway, sister of
... George V of the Great Britain(8). He was also uncle to George V of the United Kingdom(8) and Queen Maud of Norway wife of
... Haakon VII of Norway(1), his son.
~ Wilhelm II of Germany(4) was first cousin to George V of the United Kingdom(8) and his sister Queen Maud of Norway, wife of
... Haakon VII of Norway(1).
~ Haakon VII of Norway(1) was brother-in-law to George V of the United Kingdom(8), and son of Frederik VIII of Denmark (9).
~ George V of the United Kingdom(8) and Queen Maud of Norway, were first cousins of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, as well as
...Wilhelm II of Germany(4), also children of Alexandra of Denmark, sister to Frederik VIII of Denmark(9).
Of the nine sovereigns pictured, four would be deposed and one assassinated. Within five years, Britain and Belgium would be at war
with Germany and Bulgaria. They all knew a war was coming, and knew who it was going to be fighting. Looking at this picture really
makes me realize how much WW I, with it's 38+ million casualties and the seeds of WW II, was the result of the egos of these
bemedaled and beribboned spoiled brats.
inbred lot there.

There is a lot to ponder in that great historical photograph.
What is really important is that Al (#6) is glowering at Ferdy (#2) and thinking "That dolt has his sash on backwards."

Yes I spent some time reading the faces, trying to ascertain who was looking at what, and their mood. #3 Manual of Portugal thinking, I am too an adult, not knowing he'd be gone in a few months. Or #1 Haakon of Norway thinking, oh yeah? come see me in the winter ya pussies. And #4 Kaiser Wilhelm, Uncle Ed is dead, we're on our own cousins, all alone, cousins, let's think of a game to play, now the grownups have all gone away. That game turned out to be WW I.
In that it was 1910, and this posed picture was taken by a professional photographer, I wonder how many other people were in the room. As it was a funeral, if there were others they were aide de camps, personal attendants, moustache stylists, and such. I also wonder how many photographs were taken? Granted they were most certainly using a big box camera, and I doubt like hell pros would snap one shot and take their chances. But I haven't seen any others. I think a different shot would be recognizable because they aren't posed stiff like statues, at least in this shot they appear to have varying degrees of attention. And the photographers know you don't order nine fucking kings around like a school class picture.
All in, I found it to be a fascinating photograph, the end of British dominance over leadership of the continent as the people of other countries were eyeing France's revolution and watching the idea of Liberté, égalité, fraternité, produce a revolving door of dictators, heroes, despots, and den mothers.
But the time had come to purge royalty or turn them into expensive national mascots. The King is dead, I wonder if the Queen would like some company.
My perhaps too roundabout take was that Al also had his on backward for 2/9Must have been a reason.
9/9 for moustaches, though, but with an array of styles.
I think faster shutter speeds were coming along about then, eliminating the blurred hands and faces that always turned up, especially in kids.
I was struck by how young Manuel II of Portugal looks. He was just 21 at the time.
He actually lasted about as long as any of them, dying in 1932.
His family tree is crazy with poobahs of all sorts.
I think Alfonso XIII was next youngest at 24.
Never paid much attention to any 'royalty'.
This was very interesting.
Manual II was deposed less than six months later, he was the first of the nine to be dethroned.

At first I thought George V was the Tzar, in this photo.
Then I remembered they looked a lot alike:

Yeah, looked more like brothers. George was actually three years older than Nicholas.

I was watching Peeky Blinders tonight and there was a photo of George V on the wall. My first thought was why is the Czar..?

Prince Michael is not on the Civil List, ie he receives no public funding and, after after an army career, has developed various business interests including a number in Russia.
He speaks fluent Russian and apparently has something of a following over there because of his resemblance to the Tsar.

I guess if I were Russian I'd be interested in other options.

Q: Jenkins: Execute shell script at end of job regardless of result I'm wanting to run an HTTP POST request at the end of a Jenkins job regardless of whether it failed or was aborted early. I planned to do this using a simple Curl command.
I know this is possible with the Post build task plugin.
However, I believe, it saves the whole console to RAM for text comparisons, which not only do I not need, but will most likely cause OOM exceptions on our master.
Also, I don't see any documentation for the plubin to try test this using a Jenkins script only in the UI.
Does anyone have any alternatives or a way to call postbuild-task within a Jenkins file?

A: You can use post build step. Add this post section
pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage(""){
      steps {
        script {

        }
      }
    }
  }
  post { #---------------This block
    always {
      script {
        your stuff which you want execute no matter what
      }
    }
  }
 }

A: I ended up doing this with a simple try finally block since my original code didnt use jenkins pipelines

A: You can add a post block after the stages
post {
    success {
      //Success block
    }

    unstable {
      //unstable block
    }

    failure {
      //Failure block
    }

    always {
      //This block will always be executed regardless of the build outcome
      echo "Build completed with status: ${currentBuild.result}"
    }
}

Standard flow sample:
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage("1") {
            }
        stage("2") {
            }
         ....
       }
  post {
    always {
           //This block will always be executed
           }
       }
}


Have you ever watched a meteor shower? They happen very frequently when Earth's orbit takes it through the debris left behind by a comet or asteroid orbits the Sun. For example, Comet Tempel-Tuttle is the parent of the November Leonid shower.
Meteor showers are made up of meteoroids, tiny bits of material that vaporize in our atmosphere and leave behind a glowing trail. Most meteoroids do not fall to Earth, although a few do. A meteor is a glowing trail left behind as the debris streaks through the atmosphere. When they hit the ground, meteoroids become meteorites. Millions of these solar system bits slam into our atmosphere (or fall to Earth) each day, which tells us that our area of space isn't exactly pristine. Meteor showers are especially concentrated meteoroid falls. These so-called "shooting stars" are actually a remnant of our solar system's history.
Earth orbits through a surprisingly messy set of trails each year. The bits of space rock that occupy those trails are shed by comets and asteroids and can remain for quite a long time before they encounter Earth. The composition of meteoroids varies depending on their parent body, but are commonly made of nickel and iron.
A meteoroid doesn't typically just "fall off" of an asteroid; it has to be "liberated" by a collision. When asteroids slam into each other, little bits and pieces settle back onto the surfaces of the larger chunks, which then assume some kind of orbit around the Sun. That material then gets shed as the chunk moves through space, possibly through interaction with the solar wind, and forms a trail. Material from a comet is usually made up of bits of ice, specks of dust, or sand-sized grains, which are blown off the comet by the action of the solar wind. These tiny specks, too, form a rocky, dusty trail. The Stardust mission studied Comet Wild 2 and found crystalline silicate rock bits that had escaped the comet and eventually made it into Earth's atmosphere.
Everything in the solar system began in a primordial cloud of gas, dust, and ice. The bits of bits of rock, dust, and ice that stream from asteroids and comets and end up as meteoroids mostly date back to the very formation of the solar system. The ices clustered onto the grains and eventually accumulated to form the nuclei of comets. The rocky grains in asteroids clustered together to form larger and larger bodies. The biggest ones became the planets. The rest of the debris, some of which remains in orbit in the near-Earth environment, gathered into what's now known as the Asteroid Belt. The primordial cometary bodies eventually gathered in the outer regions of the solar system, in areas called the Kuiper Belt and the outermost region called the Öort Cloud. Periodically, these objects escape into orbits around the Sun. As they get closer, they shed material, forming meteoroid trails.
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it gets heated by friction with the gases that make up our blanket of air. These gases are generally moving pretty fast, so they appear to "burn up" high in the atmosphere, 75 to 100 kilometers up. Any surviving pieces could fall to the ground, but most of these little bits of solar system history are too small for that. Larger pieces make longer and brighter trails called "bolides."
Most of the time, meteors look like white flashes of light. Occasionally you can see colors flaring in them. Those colors indicate something about the chemistry of the region in the atmosphere it flies through and the material contained in the debris. Orange-ish light indicates atmospheric sodium being heated. Yellow is from superheated iron particles likely from the meteoroid itself. A red flash comes from the heating of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere, while blue-green and violet come from magnesium and calcium in the debris.
Some observers report hearing noises as a meteoroid moves across the sky. Sometimes it's a quiet hissing or swishing sound. Astronomers are still not completely sure why the hissing noises happen. Other times, there's a very obvious sonic boom, particularly with the larger bits of space debris. The folks who witnessed the Chelyabinsk meteor over Russia experienced a sonic boom and shock waves as the parent body burst apart over the ground. Meteors are fun to watch for in the nighttime skies, whether they simply flare overhead or end up with meteorites on the ground. As you watch them, remember that you're literally seeing bits of solar system history vaporize before your eyes!

I-27 was a submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy which saw service during the Pacific Campaign of World War II.  I-27 was commissioned at Sasebo, Japan on February 24, 1942.

Service history
On 31 May 1942, I-27 launched midget submarine M-14 as the leading submarine for the attack on Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

On June 4, 1942,  while en route Whyalla-Newcastle was torpedoed and sunk 44 miles SSW of Gabo Island by I-27. Thirty eight of her forty two crew were lost, with the survivors being picked up by SS Mulbera.

On March 20, 1943,  was torpedoed and sunk in the Indian Ocean () by I-27. The sole survivor of this sinking made no comment as to the fate of the crew, although some publications suggest that they may have been killed by the crew of I-27. There is no conclusive evidence either way, but there is also no evidence of I-27 taking such action on other occasions.

On June 3, 1943, I-27  torpedoed and sank SS Montanan in the Indian Ocean.  Five of Montanans crew were killed and 58 were rescued.

On July 5, 1943 I-27 torpedoed and sank the Alcoa Protector, sailing as part of convoy PA44 in the Gulf of Oman.
The turbine engines of this ship were later salvaged and used to propel the Great Lakes freighter Kinsman Independent.

On November 8, 1943, I-27 sank the Liberty ship SS Sambridge. The survivors made it safely to lifeboats and the ship's captain, Captain H. Scurr, was taken prisoner. A burst of machine-gun fire was heard by the survivors, but its reason is unknown as Scurr was eventually freed from Changi prison camp at the end of the war.

The submarine torpedoed and sank the Allied steamship  near the Maldives on February 12, 1944, killing 1,297 passengers and crew.  After the attack, I-27 attempted to hide under Khedive Ismails survivors who were floating in the water.  Nevertheless, the British destroyers  and  located the submarine and destroyed it with depth charges, ramming, and torpedoes at .  Ninety-nine of I-27s crew were killed.  One survivor was captured by the British.

The question we hear most often is, "Do You have a New Year's Resolution?" With the typical answers being; lose weight, be happier, be more organized, blah blah blah. I've said them all, heard them all and lived them all. In reality, it's time to take a look within and decide where are you going?
I have always had a problem with the question – where do you want to be? My usual answer is, "I am trying to get through the day." I have made it through many days and have ended up where I am a bit by chance, with little direction. This year, I plan on heading into 2018 with purpose. So what are my goals?
Weight – I seriously have to lose weight. For my health and my future. I have had health issues from the time I was born, adding new ones on, as I go through life. As a result, last year I was in the ICU for three days, with the doctors thinking I had a stroke. Fortunately, it was a complicated migraine. Unfortunately, this meant more medicine and more doctors visits.
For 2018, there are no more excuses. Ideally, I'd like to be down 40 pounds. Realistically, I would be happy with 10 and ecstatic with 20.
Work – Find myself when it comes to working. I work in social media. I love social media and creating content. I also love marketing. I am currently creating content. Just content. In 2018, I need to expand my role and utilize my marketing skills. I need to grow – both in the job itself and financially. What I am doing right now is not enough. It is enough to sustain me, but not enough to make me fulfilled. The gas tank is nearing empty and needs to be filled. Ideally, I would love to build a career where I am, but am not sure if my current position will allow that. I will keep my eyes open as I forge ahead and be aware as I move forward of where I want to end up. How do I measure this goal? I will know within the first three months of 2018 if my goal is attainable. Stay tuned.
Blogging – I would love to get back into blogging. I know I cannot do it 100% of the time, but I would love to write and create. Is three articles a week attainable. Can I write every day? Can I write every week? My goal is to write content at least three-four times per week. I can do this. I can do this. Now to find content to write about. My life is not that exciting. Does that mean I make it more exciting? I can use a change and excitement.
Family – be more present. Enjoy the moments. I love being with my family. Spending time with them and just laughing. I need to do that more. This one is hard to measure but if my laughing increases – I am in.
Finally, in 2018, I would like to make sure my mom is taken care of. She has dementia/Alzheimers and the last six months has been difficult. Very difficult. We had to take my mom's car away and as a result, we have seen a sharp decline in her mental faculties. Seeing her live in NY, closer to her children would make things a lot easier.
What are your goals for 2018? Are the goals realistic? Can you be held accountable? Are they specific? Measurable? Timely? Let's do it together.


During its meeting of 25 January 2005, the Commission reviewed the concept submission from the General Services Administration for its proposed new First Impressions Sign Program, a system-wide signs and graphics program for all federal facilities in the National Capital area. While the members were encouraged by GSA's initiative to improve and update the signs at federal facilities, they felt the design of the individual signs presented were overly complicated and should be simplified. The basic graphic layout of the signs was perceived as good, as was the consistency in the hierarchy of the information presented and the uniformity of the lettering. However, members recommended that the "shadow" graphic of the Great Seal of the United States be shown in its entirety and perhaps should be more prominently rendered and centered on the sign's face.
There were also objections to the inclusion of the word "Welcome" on the sign as most felt it would be an inappropriate message to convey at some government facilities. As for the structure of the signs, the members thought the double panels of the freestanding monument signs, with a metallic face panel layered on a larger offset blue-colored backing panel highlighted by strips of contrasting color on the edges, were too elaborate. They suggested that only a single panel be used and that the strips of contrasting color should be eliminated. Modifying or changing the design of the sign to relate to the architecture of the individual building was also thought to be unnecessary. Overall, simplicity should be the operable mantra in developing this system.
When the designs have been further refined, perhaps two or three variations, along with material samples, should be submitted for the next review. It was also suggested that larger models should be produced and a full size mockup that we could see in place at one of the proposed locations.
We look forward to the review of this important project as the designs continue to develop. As always, the staff is available should you or the design team require guidance.

Amaral és un grup musical de Saragossa (Aragó) format per Eva Amaral (vocalista i compositora) i Juan Aguirre (guitarrista i compositor).

Formació
El grup Amaral, neix l'1 de gener de 1997. El nom del grup és el cognom de l'Eva, i va ser escollit pel Juan.

El seu estil musical es podria anomenar pop/rock, però fusionat amb ritmes llatins, sintetitzadors, i lletres d'alt contingut poètic.

El 1997 es traslladen de Saragossa a Madrid. Aquest mateix any, firma amb Virgin-EMI i el 5 de maig, de 1998, surt a la venda el seu primer àlbum, de nom homònim, sota la producció de Pancho Varona.
Amb el seu disc a la venda, Amaral es va anar obrint pas a través de l'escena musical, i guanyant-se seguidors per tota la geografia espanyola.

Debut musical
El seu primer àlbum tenia 5 cançons: "Rosita", "Voy a acabar contigo", "No sé qué hacer con mi vida", "Un día más" y "Tardes". Aquest àlbum va vendre al voltant de 40.000 còpies.

L'any 2000, després de fer una gira de presentació amb el seu primer disc, i haver-se fet un espai a l'escena musical del pop espanyol, Amaral gravava a Londres el seu segon àlbum, anomenat "Una pequeña parte del mundo", sota la producció de Cameron Jenkins. Un disc més madur que contenia 13 cançons. 12, pròpies del grup, i una versió de la desapareguda Cecilia.

Aquest segon àlbum tenia 4 'singles': "Como hablar", "Subamos al cielo", "Cabecita loca", "Nada de nada". Va vendre 100.000 còpies.

Èxit musical
Dos anys més tard, Amaral entra de nou a l'estudi i novament, sota la producció de Jankins, grava el seu tercer àlbum, de nom "Estrella de mar": Àlbum que es convertiria en el disc nacional del 2002. Amb ell, van aconseguir una gran quantitat de premis, entre els quals destaquen un MTV European Award al millor artista espanyol, i 5 premis de música. També, amb aquest disc, Amaral salta a la internacionalització, en ser editada el 2003 una nova versió, a Amèrica.

Publica 6 cançons: "Sin ti no soy nada", "Te necesito", "Toda la noche en la calle", "Moriría por vos", "Estrella de mar", "Salir corriendo". Ha venut 800.000 còpies.

Altres camps artístics
El 2003, Eva Amaral es llença al món del cine com a protagonista d'un curt dirigit per Andreu Arau anomenat "Flores de Maika", en el que dona vida a una dona que mor a mans de la seva parella. La cançó "Salir corriendo" va formar part del BSO de la pel·lícula, i va coincidir amb la sortida del sisè disc.

L'estiu del 2004, quan Amaral es disposava a gravar un nou disc, Juan Aguirre pateix una lesió a la seva mà, cosa que causa, a més de posposar la gravació, que la seva companya Eva fes de telonera de Bob Dylan en la seva gira per Espanya.

Quart disc
El novembre del 2005 l'Eva i el Juan parteixen cap a Londres on a l'Eden Studios, sota la producció de Cameron Jenkins, graven el seu quart àlbum titulat "Pájaros en la cabeza". Amb 14 noves cançons, Eva i Juan tornen a la música carregats de pop i rock en aquestes noves cançons.

El disc surt a la venda el 14 de març del 2005, i el juny, comença la seva gira a Salamanca, que recorreria tot Espanya, fins a mitjans del mes d'octubre. Durant aquesta gira, Amaral s'atura el 15 de setembre a Barcelona per gravar el concert i editar-lo en DVD, el qual sortiria a la venda el 28 de novembre d'aquest mateix any sota el nom de "El comienzo del big bang".

"Pájaros en la cabeza" va ser el disc més venut a Espanya el 2005.

El disc ha venut 500.000 còpies a tot el món i ha llançat 4 cançons: "El universo sobre mí", "Días de verano", "Marta, Sebas, Guille y los demás" i el vigent "Resurrección".

Cinquè treball
"Gato negro ♦ Dragón rojo" és el cinquè treball discogràfic del duo espanyol Amaral, estrenat a Espanya el 27 de maig de 2008. La seva producció va acabar el 25 d'abril del mateix any.

Compta amb 19 cançons, entre les quals es troben "Biarritz" composta per Juan Aguirre per al seu anterior grup, "Días de vino y rosas", "El artista del alambre" que Eva i Juan van escriure per a la pel·lícula "Fuera de carta", i "Doce palabras" en la qual Peter Buck, guitarrista de REM, ha participat amb la seva guitarra de dotze cordes.

L'àlbum conté dos CDs, cadascun amb un nom: 'Gato negro' i 'Dragón rojo'.

Indulge Your Soviet Curiosity in Stalin's Secret Printing House in Tbilisi, Georgia
Culture Museums Tbilisi, Georgia
Angelo Zinna
A short subway ride from Liberty Square takes me straight into the heart of the Avlabari district, an area of Tbilisi's old town that houses the modern, glass-domed Presidential Palace; the Holy Trinity Cathedral; and the shabby residential blocks where the Armenian community once lived. I'm here, on the eastern side of the Mtkvari River, head down, staring at my phone, hoping to finally understand the directions to an undistinguished house, below which, a young communist named Iosif Jugashvili is said to have printed propaganda material calling for the removal of Nicholas II, Russia's last emperor.
I heard of Stalin's secret printing house only a couple of days prior while traveling south on the Georgian Military Road from the Russian border town of Vladikavkaz. Looking for lesser-known attractions that would keep me entertained before moving on toward Azerbaijan, I came across a series of online comments that seemed to provide clear instructions on how to indulge my Soviet curiosity. Hiding below a seemingly anonymous brick house just outside the city center was a century-old machine responsible for heightening the rebellious spirit of the Russian proletarians.
As I walk in circles, a passerby notices my confusion and offers to help. "Stalin?" I ask, making a hand gesture that conveys that I'm looking for something that is located underground. He laughs and points me around the corner. A hammer and sickle painted on a red circle mark the door of what I soon discover used to be the headquarters of the Georgian Communist Party.
Iosif Jugashvili, better known as Joseph Stalin, grew up in Gori, a town located two hours west of the capital of Georgia, and moved to Tiflis at the age of 16 to study at the Orthodox Spiritual Seminary, but his ecclesiastical career was short-lived. In the span of a decade, Stalin's life shifted dramatically. He entered adolescence with the prospect of becoming a priest and exited an atheist, organizer of factory-worker strikes, bank robber, and clandestine publisher of leaflets, manifestos, and papers meant to convert the whole of the South Caucasus to the new subversive doctrine.
"Excuse me, is this the printing house?" I ask as I enter the room, interrupting a group of men chatting in front of a heavy red velvet curtain. "Follow the lady, she's just started," I hear one of them saying in English before turning back to his comrades. "The lady" is a Russian-speaking member of the party who volunteers to guide the few visitors showing up here. Behind her, a Chinese man and his Georgian translator compose the entirety of the tour group. We exit the building to find ourselves in a lush courtyard in front of a run-down house covered by a wooden roof that seems about to collapse. "Two ladies lived in this house until 1906. They would sit on the porch knitting, day in day out," explains the guide with a subtle smile. "They had only one job: If they saw someone coming too close, they had to push a button once; they pushed it again to signal a false alarm. If they pushed it three times, it meant it was time to hide!"
The bell employed to signal the arrival of the police was connected to a room built 15 meters underground where the 1893 German printing press was located. After obtaining authorization from the landlord, a printing press was smuggled into Tbilisi from Baku, Azerbaijan, then dismantled, lowered beneath the ground piece by piece, and reassembled inside the cellar, which became a printing house in 1903. To access the room, the Bolsheviks had to climb down a well and enter a lateral passage dug up in the wall leading to the secret chamber. Thousands of pamphlets were printed illegally in Russian, Georgian, and Armenian and distributed to spread revolutionary ideas throughout the region.
Stalin had then abandoned the Seminary and was becoming an important figure in the revolutionary movement, thanks to both his unusual money-raising methods and the large workers' demonstrations he succeeded in organizing. He was arrested in 1902 and, a few months later, deported to Eastern Siberia to serve a three-year sentence. After a first failed attempt to escape, Stalin managed to return to Tiflis and began working at the printing house in 1904, supported by his allies of the Bolshevik movement.
"This is where Iosif used to rest at the end of his shift," I am told as we visit one of the rooms above ground. In one of the corners of the plain house, there is a single bed protected by a red cord and piles of books are towering up on the window sills. Old newspapers reporting Stalin's rise to power lie around on shelves and furniture while posters and cutouts hang from the walls, decorating a space that looks more like a shrine than a museum. "We know he has done many bad things," explains the party representative. "Mistakes were made, we don't deny it. Politically though, Stalin was a genius. What happened here changed the world. This is history."
The printing house was discovered by accident in 1906 after the police, suspicious of the constant comings and goings at the house, decided to inspect the building. The printing house, with all its equipment and printed material destroyed, was locked down and left to rot for 31 years until Stalin became the leader of the USSR and decided to give it a second life by transforming the former clandestine workshop into a museum. With the German printing press restored and a metal spiral staircase built as an alternative entrance to the subterranean chamber, Stalin's printing house became a popular destination for those interested in learning about the origins of the 1917 revolution. Entering the dark, cool room containing the press now covered with a layer of rust is a surreal experience. A map lit by a hanging light bulb shows the original network of tunnels one had to navigate to reach the room and get working on the machine. In the ceiling, the original access point opens into a rectangular black hole.
With the fall of the Soviet Union began the decline of the museum, which is now under threat of being shut down permanently as part of the de-Sovietization process implemented after the Rose Revolution in 2003. "We are not allowed to call this place a museum. We are banned from doing any promotional activity, sell tickets, or apply for public funding. We're happy to see visitors coming from words of mouth, but you should know that technically, we're operating illegally. There's an active trial going on," explains Temur Pipia, one of the new leaders of the party. "We've been to court once and we will go again. The government wants to tear the building down and give permission to build a hotel. But this is history, we cannot allow it."
Georgia's Soviet history is slowly disappearing since the government decided to actively break away from its past and get closer to Europe, but the Georgians are still divided on the topic. In Gori, the six-meter-high statue of the dictator that had been standing in front of the town hall since 1952 was removed with the promise of being substituted with a monument to honor his victims, but Stalin's birthplace and museum — a famous tourist attraction on which Gori's economy relies — remains untouched.
"Come, let me show you our office," says Pipia noticing my interest. Two large red flags and framed portraits of Lenin and Stalin hang on the wall. An old telephone with a rotary dial sits at the center of the wooden desk, surrounded by newspapers and piles of documents. "This is where we try to keep things from falling apart," he says laughing.

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Was A Mother-Enmeshed Man's Father Emasculated?
By Oliver JR Cooper
See all Articles by Oliver JR CooperSee Oliver JR Cooper's Expert PageGet Updates on Emotional IntelligenceGet Updates on Oliver JR Cooper
After coming to see that he is overly focused on his mother, a man could believe that he would be different if his mother hadn't used him during his early years. This could show that he has thought a lot about what took place when he was a boy.
He will then have come to see that he was forced to be there for his mother and deprived of what he needed in the process. Naturally, he will be angry about what took place and he might even feel betrayed.
A Half-Life
If he was to think about his life, what could stand out is that he doesn't have much of a life. But, as so much of his time and energy will be directed towards his mother, why would he?
Ultimately, he is only going to have so much time and energy, and as so much of his time and energy is being channelled somewhere else, it will undermine him. For this to change, he will need to spend less time being there for his mother.
A Hurdle
However, although this will need to take place, it could be something that he doesn't feel comfortable doing. Part of him is then going to want to behave differently but a bigger, stronger part of him won't want to.
Merely thinking about changing his behaviour could cause him to experience fear and anxiety. If he was to stay with this and go deeper, he may find that this is seen as something that would cause his life to come to an end.
Another Part
That might not be all there is to it, though; as he could fear that he will end up being harmed. At this point, he could wonder why he feels that his life would be under threat if he was to change his behaviour.
What this can illustrate is that along with the impact that his mother will have had on how he behaves; there is the impact that his father will have had. His life will then revolve around his mother but she won't be the only person who has played a part in why he is this way.
One Part
So, from the moment he was born, he may have often been left by his mother and when he was given attention by her, it may have largely been misattuned care. In other words, he would have been forced to adapt to her needs.
As the years went by, he may have been punished, disapproved of and/or rejected and abandoned if he expressed his needs. Having needs would have been too painful and so he would have ended up disconnecting from his true self – his body – and shutting down to handle what was going on.
Around this time, his father may have also made sure that he did what his mother wanted. As opposed to his father being there for him and supporting him, he would have been more concerned with pleasing his son's mother.
His life may have also revolved around her, with him not having much of a life himself. This means that although he would have been an adult, he would have been more like a child.
Therefore, if he didn't do what his mother wanted, his father might have threatened or physically harmed him. What is clear from this is that there wouldn't have been anyone there to support or protect him.
It was him against his parents and there was very little that he could do as he would have been powerless and totally dependent. Quite simply, his parents would have abused their power.
A Strange Scenario
After thinking about how his father behaved, he might struggle to understand why he acted like an extension of his mother and didn't stand his ground. He could feel deeply betrayed by him and as though he didn't care about or want him.
Most likely, his father wasn't in his power and this is why he behaved in this way. One way of looking at this would be to say that he was this way because his partner, his son's mother, undermined him.
More to It
However, there is a strong chance that he was already out of touch with his power before he even met his son's mother. If he was in his power, to begin with, he probably wouldn't have ended up with her and if he did, he would have stood his ground or cut his ties with her before long.
He was then a man who was in a bad way and this is why he was unconsciously pulled to a woman who was also in a bad way. Perhaps his mother, along with his father, undermined him during his formative years.
What the man will need to keep in mind is that how he was treated by his mother and father was a reflection of what was going on for them. It didn't reflect his value or how lovable he was.
Yet, for him to realise this at the core of his being, he is likely to have beliefs to question and emotional wounds to work through. This will take courage and patience and persistence.
If a man can relate to this and he is ready to change his life, he may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.

In geometry, a solid of revolution is a solid figure obtained by rotating a plane figure around some straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies on the same plane. The surface created by this revolution and which bounds the solid is the surface of revolution.

Assuming that the curve does not cross the axis, the solid's volume is equal to the length of the circle described by the figure's centroid multiplied by the figure's area (Pappus's second centroid theorem).

A representative disc is a three-dimensional volume element of a solid of revolution.  The element is created by rotating a line segment (of length ) around some axis (located  units away), so that a cylindrical volume of  units is enclosed.

Finding the volume
Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration. To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness , or a cylindrical shell of width ; and then find the limiting sum of these volumes as  approaches 0, a value which may be found by evaluating a suitable integral. A more rigorous justification can be given by attempting to evaluate a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates with two different orders of integration.

Disc method

The disc method is used when the slice that was drawn is perpendicular to the axis of revolution; i.e. when integrating parallel to the axis of revolution.

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of  and  and the lines  and  about the -axis is given by

If  (e.g. revolving an area between the curve and the -axis), this reduces to:

The method can be visualized by considering a thin horizontal rectangle at  between  on top and  on the bottom, and revolving it about the -axis; it forms a ring (or disc in the case that ), with outer radius  and inner radius .  The area of a ring is , where  is the outer radius (in this case ), and  is the inner radius (in this case ). The volume of each infinitesimal disc is therefore . The limit of the Riemann sum of the volumes of the discs between  and  becomes integral (1).

Assuming the applicability of Fubini's theorem and the multivariate change of variables formula, the disk method may be derived in a straightforward manner by (denoting the solid as D):

Cylinder method

The cylinder method is used when the slice that was drawn is parallel to the axis of revolution; i.e. when integrating perpendicular to the axis of revolution.

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of  and  and the lines  and  about the -axis is given by

If  (e.g. revolving an area between curve and -axis), this reduces to:

The method can be visualized by considering a thin vertical rectangle at  with height , and revolving it about the -axis; it forms a cylindrical shell.  The lateral surface area of a cylinder is , where  is the radius (in this case ), and  is the height (in this case ).  Summing up all of the surface areas along the interval gives the total volume.

This method may be derived with the same triple integral, this time with a different order of integration:

Parametric form

When a curve is defined by its parametric form  in some interval , the volumes of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the -axis or the -axis are given by

Under the same circumstances the areas of the surfaces of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the -axis or the -axis are given by

Polar form
For a polar curve  where , the volumes of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the x-axis or y-axis are

The areas of the surfaces of the solids generated by revolving the curve around the -axis or the -axis are given

Concert preview: EDM prodigy DeLong thrives as one-man band Consider his sound akin to the Chemical Brothers meets Death Cab for Cutie. Check out this story on rgj.com: http://on.rgj.com/1BB7UFF
Published 9:21 a.m. PT Feb. 26, 2015 | Updated 9:32 a.m. PT Feb. 26, 2015
Electronic-dance musician Robert DeLong will perform March 4 at the Knitting Factory Concert House.(Photo: Getty Images)
For the uninitiated, observing the pre-show setup of a Robert DeLong concert would have you guessing you're about to see a three- or four-piece band.
Racks of percussion, keyboards, guitars and a drum set fill the stage. But when the lights go down and the show starts, only one guy comes out and does it all — DeLong, the hybrid singer-songwriter and techno-sound prodigy.
The Seattle-area native, who now lives in Los Angeles, is a one-man band. He started out as a drummer at age 10 and played in a slew of bands into his mid-20s.
Then, he decided to take things into his own hands and found better rocking through technology.
Consider his sound akin to the Chemical Brothers meets Death Cab for Cutie — thoughtful music that "makes you fu--ing dance," to quote his 2013 alt-rock breakout single "Global Concepts."
DeLong wasn't satisfied to program everything into a laptop and mash a few keys to make a live show. Instead, he uses software, live instruments, game controllers and his voice to put on a performance that keeps you watching.
He's just as likely to be profiled in USA Today as in Wired (he's been in both). As his new single "Long Way Down" carves a path through radio, he's finishing up his second album for Glassnote Records (home of Phoenix and Mumford & Sons,) and expects to have it out by June.
Next week, he hits Reno for a March 4 show at the Knitting Factory Concert House.
"It had been awhile since I put anything out officially," DeLong said in a phone interview with Best Bets shortly before his 29th birthday. "So I wanted to get some new music out there (his latest, a four-song EP, arrived in November). The new album's going to sound different than the first album in a lot of ways, I think, so I wanted a bridge between the two."
So far, his solo gig has been his most successful.
"I didn't want to just start another band," DeLong said. "I started working alone when I was working in all these other bands. I didn't want to have to deal with more people and how to arrange rehearsals. I just wanted to be able to do everything on my own. That was a lot easier for quality control. Then, it just kind of took off."
The launch included his 2013 album, "Global Concepts," which featured the singles "Happy" and the title track. The sound introduced an artist who plays it all himself, whether it's on recordings, or in a live show.
He's as much a musician as he is a techno-geek, who samples his own music, loops it and manipulates it with Microsoft gamepads and Wii remotes. After he's done that, he might step behind his drum set or timbales.
Testament to the diversity of his sound, DeLong has played in front of EDM artist Girl Talk, as well as Death Cab for Cutie and was on recent Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza festivals.
"Pretty much the whole time I've been doing this, people don't know what to do with me," DeLong said. "I find that rock fans tend to connect a little more with what I'm doing on stage. A lot of the time, EDM fans are expecting a light show and to dance. I'm sure it drives my booking agent nuts."
It's unlikely you'd find yourself not dancing at his show, though. DeLong said his music usually starts with a beat — no surprise coming from a drummer.
"I'll mess around with some cool chords, especially when I'm on the road, and I'll come back a few months later and have a collection of demos. And then I'll start writing lyrics and tracking them myself," he said. "It's kind of a slow process, but I like the ability to stockpile a library of ideas, so when you come home, you have inspiration to draw off."
Along with the beat-centric music, there's video and face painting, courtesy of DeLong's girlfriend, at most shows.
Moreover, his sound guy makes sure the show runs glitch-free.
"He's a big part of what you hear," DeLong said. "The moving parts are really specific to what I do. I have so many lines that are running up there … God knows what they're doing."
His first album was made alone over a three-year period. The upcoming one came together more quickly — about nine months.
"For this album, I've written quite a few songs with other people, and had some producers come in and help out," DeLong said. "It helps to have somebody to (bounce) your ideas off. It was just an experiment to try to work with different people and once I started doing it, the results were positive. The songs sounded good, and I got them done quicker."

Q: What versions of cobertura and surefire plugins work together under maven3? What versions of cobertura and surefire plugins work together under maven3?
After switching to maven3 I've found out, that mvn cobertura:cobertura is no longer generating report about test coverage (the coverage displayed is 0%). It was working under maven2...
However, after finding, that in one of the other projects reports are still working, I've analysed the effective pom. After finding out I was using other versions of plugins, I've downgraded maven-surefire-plugin from version 2.8 to 2.4.3. I'm using maven-cobertura-plugin in version 2.5.1.
This is a working solution, however the plugin versions I use are quite old, but I don't want to experiment until I find the working pair of version. So, my question is, what is causing the incompatibility between this two plugins? Is it a bug or the behaviour of the plugins have changed between versions in the way that made them incompatibile? Where to find the information about plugin compatibility, and not the plugin itself?

A: See my answer to this. Basically forkMode=never is not guaranteed to work with cobertura and was only working by accident in older versions of Maven.

Remember That Tesla Elon Musk Shot Into Space? It May Crash Back to Earth One Day
BYAric Jenkins
Earlier this month, Elon Musk's SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy rocket into space, and with it, a red Tesla Roadster. The vehicle is now floating in space with a mannequin dressed as an astronaut in its front seat. But there's a chance its peaceful orbit could be interrupted one day by colliding with a planet in our solar system. It could even come crashing back to Earth.
Researchers from Toronto and the Czech Republic have crunched the numbers and determined that Musk's Tesla has a 6% chance of crashing into Earth over the next one million years. The first close encounter, they say in a paper published Tuesday, will occur later this century in 2091. And if the car doesn't crash into our blue planet, they estimate that it has a 2.5% chance to instead strike Venus sometime over the same time frame.
"We did not know what to expect because the other near-Earth objects we see in space are asteroids and typically come from further out in the Solar System," Hanno Rein, one of the authors of the paper based at the University of Toronto, told the BBC. "In this case, it's the reverse. We know the object comes from Earth, so the question is where will it go from here."

Rein and his co-authors' calculations show additional close encounters with Mars as well at the sun, though actual collisions are very unlikely, they estimate. And even if a collision does occur, it won't be for a long time, the researchers predict. "We estimate the dynamical lifetime of the Tesla to be a few tens of millions of years," the paper reads.
For now, at least, Earthlings can peer up at the night sky and look for a bright red dot streaking across space.

GCI Opens Annual Shoot for the Stars Contest
Global Connections Announces Annual "Shoot for the Stars"
Twelfth Annual Member Engagement Contest Gives 12 Chances to Win
OVERLAND PARK, KS – July 12, 2019 – Global Connections, Inc. (GCI), the highly-respected resort developer, travel club fulfillment and service provider of Global Discovery Vacations (GDV) has announced its annual Shoot for the Stars contest. The yearly event selects winners in four categories from GDV Travel Club Members who participate via social media. In past years, the contest consisted of three categories: Family & Friends, Landscape and Wild & Fun. The newest category added this year is "Condo Shots."
Member contests such as Shoot for the Stars continue to grow in popularity among GDV's members. The contest began with barely 30 entries from Global Discovery Vacations club members. Last year's contest brought in over 1000 entries.
With the addition of the new category, members have 12 chances to win, with three opportunities in each category. The prizes for winning are outstanding. In this contest, GCI awards prizes that include a one-week vacation. Each winning member also receives their own feature story published on GDV's blog and social media.
Submissions for Shoot for the Stars are open until November 30, 2019 and the winners will be revealed the second week of January 2020.
Interactive contests are one way GCI builds a sense of community among GDV members. Not only does Shoot for the Stars engage GDV members with the excitement of sharing their travel photos with others, it also provides authentic photos of members and their travels that frequently appear in member communications, sales and marketing materials, printed collateral pieces, on the website, social media and in testimonials.
The contest builds pride, encourages loyalty and creates an environment of member engagement, as well as building a unique library of true-to-life vacation images. Last year's Shoot for the Stars winners included a family vacation shot near the pyramids of Egypt, climbing Bell Rock in Sedona, AZ and a travel-magazine worthy photo of Cinque Terre in Vernazza, Italy.
Tom Lyons, President and CEO of GCI says "We love seeing our members enjoy their travel experiences. The photos are a visual reminder of good times all around the world. We are particularly looking forward to entries in the new Condo Shots category. We have accommodations in great locations and it will be fun to see our member's pictures of where they stayed on vacation."

10 Most Interesting Facts About Nintendo
Facts, Gaming
Nintendo is a well-known company that pretty much salvaged much of the gaming industry and made it relevant back in the 80s and up until the 90s. While the company is now playing catch-up in terms of technological advancements with Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo can more than hold its own against both gaming giants.
With the recent death of their CEO, Satoru Iwata, it's time to dig out a few skeletons out of the closet and present a few interesting facts about the Japanese Gaming Giant.
10 – You Have Nintendo To Thank For Sony's Playstation
Nintendo Playstation
Back in the 1980, the Sony and Nintendo collaborated to develop an add-on device for the SNES that made the use of compact disks for video games possible. But, when negotiations fell through, Sony went on to develop the technology on their own and released the Playstation in the early 1990s. In hindsight, Nintendo could definitely have handled this whole thing better.
09 – Nintendo Is Filthy Rich
Rich Mario
Many leading companies are rich, but Nintendo is in a league of its own. While many companies can't afford to suffer from one yearly financial loss to another, Nintendo can afford a yearly loss of a quarter billion dollars until about 2052 before they go bankrupt.
08 – Nintendo Owes A Factory Worker For The Game Boy (Among Other Things)
Flickr user Bryan Ochalla
Gunpei Yokoi may be a known commodity among gamers today, but back in the 1960s, Yokoi was a relatively unknown. In fact, he was only a factory worker where then-president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, noticed a toy he made during his spare time for his own amusement. He'd later on become the creative mind behind the Game & Watch handheld systems, the D-pad or cross pad used in many video game controllers today and most notably, the Nintendo Gameboy.
07 – Nintendo Ripped Mario Off of Popeye
Back during the earlier years of gaming, Nintendo was asked to produce an arcade game based on Popeye. But, they'd lose the license and to recover from this, game designer Shigeru Miyamoto borrowed ideas off of Popeye to create the original Donkey Kong game. Apparently, Pluto was the Ape or Donkey Kong, Olive was Princess Peach and Popeye, or at least his courage, became Mario.
06 – Nintendo Intentionally Made Their Games Hard To Beat
Because of the limitations of the consoles and the technology back in the 1980s and 1990s, most games couldn't be as long as many developers would like. To compensate for this lack of actual length, they'd make the games much harder to beat. This way, gamers would spend a lot more time playing the game, making it look like that the game was actually longer than it seemed.
05 – Nintendo Owns Two Of The Best-Selling Franchises Ever
Nintendo is already rich enough as it is, with the company pumping out one successful console and game after another. But, it seems that much of its wealth is probably because of two franchises – The Mario Franchise and the Pokemon Franchise. Both franchises combined are worth almost as much as the other 8 of the 10 most profitable franchises ever.
04 – Nintendo as a Playing Card Company
Nintendo Playing Cards
Initially, Nintendo was a company that manufactured and sold playing cards back in 1889, a product that they still sell today. It was only in 1978, almost a century later the company was founded, that they actually made their first video game.
03 – Nintendo Actually Owns Rights Two P*rn Films About Mario
Ron Jeremy, a p*rn star, once said that Nintendo bought rights of two adult film parodies of Mario named "Super Hornio Brothers" and "Super Hornio Brothers II". This was so as to prevent the two films from ever seeing the light of the screen. There exists, though, "Brassiere's Castle", so you may want to look that up if you're really jonesing for some Mario p*rn.
02 – Nintendo Owns Bragging Rights To The First Video Game Console To Be Played in Space
Flickr user William Warby
The Nintendo Game Boy holds the distinction for being the first ever video game console to ever be played outside of Earth. Aleksandr Serebrov took the video game console with him on one of his space trips and played Tetris whenever he got bored.
01 – Nintendo Means To Throw a Hail Mary
Nintendo office
Well, not exactly, but the word Nintendo translates to "Leave luck to Heaven" in Japanese. And, judging by the company's fortune, it seems that heaven is smiling down on Nintendo.

The $18 Billion Electric-Car Bubble at Risk of Bursting in China
An iPhone assembler, e-commerce emporium and real-estate developer typically don't compete in the same business -- except when it comes to electric vehicles in China.
That's because of a seismic shift toward EVs, which has spurred billions of dollars in investments by traditional carmakers, startups and titans of the internet, electronics and real-estate industries. The rush is on even as the government pulls back on the subsidies that juiced the industry to begin with.
There are now 486 EV manufacturers registered in China, more than triple the number from two years ago. While sales of passenger EVs are projected to reach a record 1.6 million units this year, that's likely not enough to keep all those assembly lines humming, prompting warnings that the ballooning EV market could burst and leave behind only a few survivors.
"We are going to see great waves sweeping away sand in the EV industry,'' said Thomas Fang, a partner and strategy consultant at Roland Berger in Shanghai. "It is a critical moment that will decide life or death for EV startups.''
At least two dozen of those electric-car brands will be showcasing models at the Shanghai auto show starting this week. They range in expertise from nascent supercar maker Qiantu Motor to U.S.-traded startup NIO Inc. and elder statesman BYD Co.
Dozens of startups have entered the global EV business in recent years, raising $18 billion since 2011, according to BloombergNEF. Most of the biggest fundraisers are Chinese, including NIO, WM Motor, Xpeng Motors and Youxia Motors.
The startups promise to deliver a collective manufacturing capacity of 3.9 million vehicles a year. That's excluding what some of the world's biggest automakers are planning.
China's big, but it's not that big. Annual sales of passenger EVs only surpassed 1 million units for the first time last year, according to BNEF, spurred by the subsidies that could slice thousands of dollars off the sticker price.
Yet EV sales make up just 4 percent of overall passenger vehicle sales of 23.7 million units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
At the same time, sales of traditional cars are currently in a free fall, plunging for the 10th straight month in March as a slowing economy and trade tensions with the U.S. weigh on consumer sentiment.
"There is still huge room out there in the new-energy vehicle market with China's relatively low vehicle-penetration rate,'' said Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, an industry group. "Yet that market is for the competitive players, not the weakest ones, and the latter will be squeezed out.''
The government started pushing development of electric cars to help eliminate air pollution, reduce oil imports and develop high-technology manufacturing.
By 2025, China's leaders want annual sales of new-energy vehicles –- including pure-battery electrics, plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell cars -- to reach 7 million units. That's the equivalent of about 20 percent of China's total auto market.
Even that amount would barely be enough to sustain a few dozen companies -- not hundreds. A factory typically needs to produce at least tens of thousands of vehicles a year to be profitable.
Another headwind is the subsidy cut announced last month by the finance ministry, a move meant to encourage manufacturers to rely on innovation rather than assistance. Some subsidies that could total $7,500 per vehicle were halved.
"With the subsidy adjustments, some less technologically advanced EV startups will disappear,'' said Zhou Lei, a Tokyo-based partner for Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting. "There will be a reshuffle.''
Then there's the swarm of global giants from Tesla Inc. to Volkswagen AG to Ford Motor Co., all planning to flood the market with locally produced EVs.
Elon Musk's company started selling its first mass-market model in China this year and plans to begin building vehicles in Shanghai by year's end. Tesla sold 14,467 vehicles in China last year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Toyota Motor Corp., Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, Honda Motor Co., and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. chose a quicker way in: they all plan to sell what's essentially the same car, developed by Guangzhou Automobile Group.
More established local manufacturers, such as BYD, likely can withstand the competition and the subsidy cuts, given a track record spanning years, a lineup including cars and buses, and an existing customer base.
The Warren Buffett-backed company has boosted revenue for six straight years and turned a profit since at least 2000, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The non-car companies spending heavily on EVs include Foxconn Technology Group, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and China Evergrande Group. Evergrande, better known for real estate development, has proclaimed it will become the world's biggest EV maker in three to five years.
"The investment needed for actual production is several times of that they've spent on marketing and production development,'' Roland Berger's Fang said. "That's why we are seeing some of them delaying mass-production plans.''
Faraday Future, which has its headquarters and production facility in California, has yet to start building its first model.

FBI digging for bodies at home of "Jimmy the Gent" Burke
tags: FBI, mobsters, Jimmy Burke, Mafia, Lucchese crime family
NEW YORK — Investigators with jackhammers and shovels are digging under a New York City house once occupied by a famous gangster who is said to have buried victims in familiar places.
The work started Monday the Queens neighborhood that was home to James Burke, a Lucchese crime family associate known as "Jimmy the Gent." He was the inspiration for Robert De Niro's character in the 1990 Martin Scorsese movie "Goodfellas."
Burke died behind bars in 1996, two decades after authorities say he masterminded a nearly $6 million robbery at New York's Kennedy Airport — one of the largest cash thefts in American history....

1. a compound formed by combination of two identical simpler molecules.
2. a capsomer having two structural subunits.
D-dimer a fragment of fibrin that is formed as a result of fibrin degradation. A positive test for its presence in the blood is suggestive of conditions such as thrombotic disease, sickle cell crisis, malignancy, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or recent surgery.
A compound or unit produced by the combination of two like molecules; in the strictest sense, this occurs without the loss of atoms (thus, nitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, is the dimer of nitrogen dioxide, NO2), but usually by elimination of H2O or a similar small molecule between the two (for example, a disaccharide), or by simple noncovalent association (as of two identical protein molecules); higher orders of complexity are called trimers, tetramers, oligomers, and polymers.

chemical compound formed by the union of two identical molecules.
When activated, PPAR[gamma] heterodimerizes with retinoid X receptor (RXR), binds to specific response elements (PPREs), and promotes the expression of target genes .
They also increase insulin secretion and function as ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma, which heterodimerizes with retinoic acid receptor.
Platelets and macrophages release most MRP-14, which heterodimerizes with MRP-8.
CHOP heterodimerizes with C/EBP[beta] and by binding to the promoter region of Hsp60 increases its transcription levels .
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which belongs to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor and heterodimerizes with small Maf proteins, functions as a key player in the redox homeostatic gene regulatory network.
The AhR, on exposure to TCDD, translocates into the nucleus, where it heterodimerizes with the AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT).
As a member of the PER-ARNT-SIM (PAS) domain family of transcriptional regulators, ligand-activated AhR translocates to the nucleus and heterodimerizes with AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT), leading to toxic responses (Bock 1994).

Eyedscreen
Can I get a letterbox format? ...Aww yeah, this is the director's cut!
—Bo-bobo, Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo
A Camera Trick where, in order to show focus on a particular thing, two black bars will emerge from the top and bottom of the screen in order to bring about some drama by changing the aspect ratio, Letterbox-like. Often done with eyes in order to showcase the intense stare of our hero, who nine times out of ten is staring down his opponent, but not exclusively. Said bars are often accompanied by a nifty sound effect. Possibly originates from attempts by producers of TV to recreate the same intense effect that Sergio Leone achieved with his massive closeups in his Spaghetti Western films—which don't work so well in non-widescreen shots.
Seen often in Animesque shows or other animated programs. See also Super Move Portrait Attack, Eye Take, and Iris Out. Not to be confused with Eye Scream.
Examples of Eyedscreen include:
Dragonball Z's Vegeta does this when he sees Trunks fall.
Code Geass: Happens in one of the picture dramas. However, this being the picture dramas, it's for comedy rather than drama.
Scion: This happens right before a fight between Ethan and Exeter.
Event Horizon: Played with to horrifying effect, where you get a wonderful close-up of Sam Neill's eye sockets after he has gouged his eyes out, while he bellows and rants like only a possessed Sam Neill can. Not exactly this trope, because of course the film is already in a letterbox, and possibly an homage to those old Spaghetti Westerns.
The Lord of the Rings: Constantly done with Frodo's already-huge eyes, Sergio Leone-style.
Done in Revenge of the Sith with General Grievous when he's threatening Obi Wan. Loses some impact in the pan-and-scan cut of the film, though—his eyes are spread wide apart compared to a human character, so the camera ends up centered on his forehead, with his actual eyes just off screen.
The climax of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has quick shots of the three main characters' eyes just before the end of their Melee a Trois.
Live Action TV
CSI: Miami occasionally does this to focus on the Miami skyline.
Used occasionally in Super Sentai (and thus Power Rangers) as part of the Calling Your Attacks sequence. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger and Power Rangers Ninja Storm do this with nearly every mecha finisher.
Power Rangers RPM had a rare practical effects version where they cast light over the actor's eyes while the rest of them was incomplete shadow. As they would be morphed at the time, the light cast would be in the shape of their respective visors as a sort of inside-the-helmet view.
Used in the Samurai Kirby mode of Kirby Super Star.
The opening sequence of Super Smash Bros.. does this in rapid succession with the main eight characters.
The The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games feature a closeup on Link's eyes in the opening sequence.
The non-eye variation is used in all 3D games when Z-targeting.
The sequence that plays before each cross-examination in the Ace Attorney series looks like this except with two sets of eyes, one from each lawyer, glaring at each other.
In Investigations, this happens before every testimony/argument, so there are Eyedscreens even for people like Gumshoe, Larry Butz and Lauren Paups.
A common breed of Super Move Portrait Attack in the Tales series.
The Trauma Center series:
In Under the Knife 2 before an operation, this happens with Derek, showing him move his hand closer to his glasses.
Shown on the Wii Channel of New Blood with Markus, Valerie, and Elena.
Done in the (brief) intro of Sonic Battle, with all the storyline characters.
Persona 3 uses this sometimes when a Persona is about to hit a weak point with a spell or make a critical hit with a physical attack.
The Bonus Boss does this before the fight, indicating how much trouble you're in.
Persona 4 also does this.
Used in Valkyria Chronicles to signify when a character's special power is activated.
A staple of the cinema scenes in the Ninja Gaiden NES trilogy.
Used in Dengeki Gakuen RPG : Cross of Venus, when you do Chain Bursts, and when the bosses activate their Hi-Ougi.
Bang does this when he goes into Super Mode.
When Ocelot and Big Boss are about to duel in Metal Gear Solid 3, as an homage to Sergio Leone.
Harvest Moon DS/DS Cute uses these extensively in cut scenes.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection has these in Kuma and Panda's endings. In Kuma's ending it showed this instance seconds before he pushes the button that opens a trap door under his visitor (in this instance, his owner Heihachi). Panda's has two; one when she opens the trap door under Kuma, and the second where Xiaoyu unwittingly opens the one under Panda.
Done from time to time in the Floating Hands webtoons.
Godzilla does this in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny video.
Happened near the end of the Weebl and Bob episode "Hentai" when we zoom in on the characters' eyes.
Parodied in Bad Idea, where it's applied to a fetid zombie with a dislocated eyeball.
Used in this installment of Avatar: The Abridged Series.
Banana-nana-Ninja! uses this frequently. (Example)
The Homestar Runner cartoon "Marshmallow's Last Stand" (no longer on the site) featured this, complete with the accompanying musical track from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
"Go ahead...make my day." "Octorok!"
This installment of Least I Could Do.
All the time in Digger. Once with a squash.
In Keychain of Creation this is a visual cue that someone's Great Curse is acting up.
Megas XLR, pictured above, does this all the frickin' time. Heck, you can't even get through the opening theme without being assaulted by this trope.
And by "assaulted by this trope", we mean that most of the opening consists of this.
The first episode of Invader Zim shows Dib's and Zim's eyes so as to express their confrontation.
Kim Possible in "Car Alarm", with focus on Jim's and Tim's faces to emphasis their It's Personal statement.
The newer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series does this all the time, although not necessarily with eyes... it just has the zooming black bar effect during dramatic moments and virtually all commercial breaks.
Samurai Jack is not exempt from this, either. The title card itself is an Eyedscreen. This was parodied in the Duck Dodgers episode "Samurai Quack". When this happens to Dodgers (playing Jack), he notices the effect and actually tries to push out the black bars.
Shows up in Sushi Pack from time to time.
In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Unfair Science Fair", Candace and her rival Wendy use this trope in emphasizing their competition.
Skip to 1:30 in "this video" for an example in motion.
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi:
Ami employs this trope in the episode "In The Cards", while staring down Yumi in a card game, mixed with her Inner Monologue.
It is used again in "Spaced Out" to emphasize Yumi's intense stare.
The Emperors New School in "The Mystery of Micchu Pachu", Kuzco used this trope against an anteater skeleton which was actually an old man in a costume.
World of Quest does this a lot in relation to Quest. Normally when he's complaining about how much he hates something. And seeing that he hates just about everything (except for Albert)...
Occasionally shows up in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Done at least once in the animated version of Lucky Luke, like every other western trope.
Adventure Time "Ricardio the Heart Guy", This trick shows up when Finn says that Ricardio is "up to something."
Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes Used when we first see Iron Man powering Up
The Venture Brothers Phantom Limb in "Victor Echo November".
Storm Hawks with Aerrow in "The Key".
Brutally parodied in an episode of Yam Roll—the letterbox effect gets smaller and smaller until you can hardly tell what it's focusing on.
My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: Used in Episode 7 "Dragonshy" when the Mane Cast is preparing for confront the dragon.
Chief Thunderhooves of the buffalo tribe uses the effect several times in "Over a Barrel".
Parodied to hell and back in an episode of Yin Yang Yo! where various characters do this when plotting something - then promptly note how cramped it is, take their hands out, and push the bars back to the ends of the screen. The bars get thinner and thinner to the point, by the end of the episode physically squishing Yin and Yang between them from the horizontal sides.

Economics: Less inequality, but new trouble areas
MEXICO - Report 12 Aug 2019 by Mauricio Gonzalez and Francisco González
Last week's release of the National Statistics Institute's bi-annual National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (Enigh), which corresponds to the period between 2017 and 2018, and the accompanying analysis of how the various dimensions and degrees of poverty have evolved from Coneval, delivered at best a bittersweet taste of how conditions are evolving.
The report showed a narrowing of inequality compared to 2016, though mainly as a result of average household incomes falling among the top three income deciles, with most of the contraction confined to the very top tier. That erosion of money flowing to the most affluent families was largely a result of pronounced reductions in income from rental properties, and from corporate and partnership sources. All other deciles showed growth ranging from 0.1% to 1.9% while a notable reduction in transfers – which accounted for between a fifth and more than a third of current family incomes of the four lowest deciles – limited growth in the amount of money entering low income households.
There were contrasts in almost every part of the report. The gender income gap closed a bit as women's average incomes rose and those of men fell to a similar degree. The tenth decile of households receives 33.6% of current income in Mexico, while the first decile obtains only 1.8%.
There was some good news from Coneval's readings of multidimensional poverty, as the percentage of people living in poverty narrowed by about 1.5% (but still accounts for 42% of the population), while those in extreme poverty slipped to a 10-year low. Inside the poverty indicators, an improvement was observed in the case of access to quality education and housing, but it worsened for the first time in ten years in the case of access to health services, social security, and basic housing services, while access to food fell for the first time since it recovered following the 2009 recession.
Overall, the income and poverty outlooks are not promising, especially considering significant rises reported in some multidimensional poverty indicators that had been improving for years.

TMA members are keen travellers too!
2. Group purchasing to give members (only members – not everyone in the clinic where they work ) better prices and better access to products than may be achieved by a single member; i.e. vaccines, medical kits, mosquito nets, stationary, and promotional materials. We also have a more secure supply line for our vaccines so we often have supply when others have run out.
Members are individual doctors, (not a clinic) with expertise in Travel Medicine.
Members must be Yellow Fever accredited.
Members must participate in ongoing travel medicine training, and must attend the annual TMA training meetings.
Most members are general practitioners, many in smaller clinics doing travel medicine in a GP setting.
Members who work in group practices are responsible to ensure other doctors in the practice who are working travel medicine sessions also join pro rata if the other doctors in their practice will be utilising the TMA member services, particularly using discounted vaccines.
Members must not be a member of any of the other travel medicine groups.
Members may not be in close proximity to existing members – this "distance" varies in different locations.
TMA is not a franchise so there are no franchise fees.
TMA is a club with a detailed membership agreement.
Vaccines and supplies are purchased direct from suppliers at discounted prices. Members are not obligated to participate in special deals, however members usually find that the savings on vaccines and goods covers the membership fee.
Membership includes conference fees for the member to attend the annual meeting and dinner.
TMA believes that the most effective marketing is local. We refer between clinics and we share ideas about how to spread our message of healthy travel more effectively. We share resources, but we do not spend funds on big national advertising campaigns.
If your goal is purely to access cheap vaccines, this is really not the organisation for you.
We are not at liberty to divulge our special prices to everyone who asks. Strict confidentiality is part of our arrangement with our suppliers. We understand it is necessary for you to know the prices, in order to determine if it is 'worth joining'. However you will need to to complete the application and confidentiality form and go through the process. We also keep a physical distance between fellow members, to ensure we are not competing for patients. This distance varies in different places and is at the discretion of the existing members.
This organisation also requires participation, eg writing the group newsletter once every two years, undertaking training and assisting other members. The ultimate goal is giving our travelling patients the best possible service.
If this sounds like a 'good fit', we look forward to hearing from you.
We have had an unspeakably delightful journey, one of those journeys which seem to divide one's life in two, by the new ideas they suggest and the new views of interest they open.
Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares, and the slavery of Home, man feels once more happy.
