On the Job Cannes Directors Fortnight Still - H 2013
When asked about his reaction to hearing that his latest film, hitman thriller On The Job, was selected for Cannes, Erik Matti said he was surprised – first for having landed a berth at one of the world's most prestigious festivals, and second because it would appear in the left-of-center Directors' Fortnight sidebar.
"We made On the Job mainly for our domestic market in the Philippines; but, of course, getting into the Director's Fortnight was a welcome gift for all the hard work we poured into the making of the film – not to mention almost four years of finding a way to get it produced," said the Manila-based filmmaker.

Unlike most of the other Filipino filmmakers who have graced the Fortnight in recent years – such as Brillante Mendoza (Foster Child, 2007), Raya Martin (Now Showing, 2008) and Auraeus Solito (Busong, 2011) – Matti is a well-established mainstream figure at home: to put his career in context, he was just presenting the commercial horror-comedy Tik Tik: The Aswang Chronicles at the Far East Film Festival, Udine, this time last month.
But Matti's arrival at Cannes – via one of his more leftfield efforts, partly due to a script co-written by Michiko Yamamoto, who penned Solito's seminal art house breakthrough The Blossoming of Maxine Oliveros – is indicative of the rise of the Philippines as a diversified filmmaking force, as evidenced by the varied Filipino fare on show on the Croisette this year.
Landing at Cannes alongside On The Job are two Un Certain Regard entries with aesthetics wildly different from Matti's. Adolfo Alix Jr.'s Death March – which premiered on Sunday — is an eerie, black-and-white piece about U.S. and Filipino POWs being maimed and murdered by Japanese soldiers marching them across the Philippines during the second world war. Debuting on Thursday will be Norte, The End of History, the four-hour film about injustice (a simple-minded man jailed for a murder he didn't commit) from Lav Diaz, the Philippines' king of long takes (and films).

The simultaneous presence of Matti, Alix and Diaz at Cannes in the same year marks a seismic shift in how Filipino films are regarded internationally: as more than just a source of avant-garde, independent fare. (A similar shift of a perspective occurred last year for Indian cinema, when filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap made a splash on the Riveira with Gangs of Wasseypur — a two-parter, which offered saleable content with an idiosyncratic touch. Kashyap is back in the Fortnight this year with Ugly.)
"We are very happy that in the past six years there has been a constant presence of Filipino films in the film festival circuit," said the Alix, who first appeared at Cannes with Manila, a jointly-directed effort with Martin, and who screened two films (Wildlife and Mater Dolorosa) at Rotterdam earlier this year. "The diversity of films being shown in the festivals shows the range of Filipino filmmakers in general. I think that it is a testament that there is vitality and movement in the Filipino cinema and the renewed interest is there."
Matti agrees: "Over the past five years or so, we've seen two kinds of Filipino films being produced in our film industry – the films that are solely geared towards the local market and the films that are made for the international film festivals," he said. "I have always made movies with mainly the local market as the primary audience, but at the same time keeping in mind that having a more universal story can hopefully allow me to cross over to the international arena."

It's perhaps apt that the three new Filipino features are landing at Cannes at the same time as Lino Brocka's Manila in the Claws of Neon, which was shown last week at the Classics section in the official selection. An expert in producing gritty, social-critique drama, Brocka was the first Filipino director to be selected for Cannes with Insiang (1978), and his style combines what was known in his home country as commercial cinema and a more international art house sensibility, according to Roger Garcia, a veteran film critic-programmer and now the executive director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
"Manila in the Claws of Neon reflects both a contemporary social reality – the repression of the Marcos dictatorship years – and an enduring artistic ambition that together appealed to audiences and is still relevant today," said Garcia, who has championed many of the current batch of Filipino directors through his programming and has also produced the early 1990s work of Filipino auteurs, such as Raymond Red.
"Brocka is not only the pioneer, but also the model for all times – a filmmaker who found his art through engagement with his audience."
"I think that the international festival interest in Filipino cinema is partly based on some kinship with Western aesthetics resulting from a century of colonization by the Spanish and then Americans," Garcia continued. "The literary tone of Lav Diaz can be found in both Filipino and Russian literature, while the visuals of the current crop of Filipino films could be seen as a Third World re-invention of First World styles. I think what strikes most outsiders is the diversity of the films, which range from artistic risks to high genre."

For independent filmmakers like Alix, festival success is crucial. "It helps you to get private financing in the Philippines in a way because of the leverage, but it is still very difficult to get producers for a film that is outside of the mainstream," he said. "What we look at now is the possibility of co-productions outside of the Philippines. The visibility in the festivals helps generate interest for your future projects and also for granting institutions. I'm working on two projects with foreign funding so it is a great boost I think."
Despite festival success in recent years – such as Mendoza's Best Director win at Cannes in 2009 with Kinatay – Filipino independent films remain an under-acknowledged niche in the country, Alix said. Official funding into actual film productions remains low, and the little that the government does do is subsidize Filipino directors' attendance at festivals.
"It is still difficult to get independent films to be released theatrically in the Philippines. The distributors are still keen on mainstream genre pics and Hollywood," he said. "That is what we are working on now — for independent films to be released even just in a small number of theaters, especially now that there are more digital theaters here. For now, we do alternative venues, like schools and special screenings around the country."
For Matti, On The Job best represents the approach undertaken by independent-minded filmmakers worldwide – the "one for them, and then one for me" ethos which marks the work of, say, Hong Kong's Johnnie To or even Steven Soderbergh, what with his mix of the Ocean's franchise and more personal films like Che or The Girlfriend Experience.
"Hopefully, this entry to the Cannes' Directors' Fortnight will open doors for us," Matti said. "By expanding the market internationally with higher revenues, hopefully we can now attempt films that we wouldn't normally be able to do in our small local market. With more resources come bigger themes and a bit more ambitious filmmaking."

Emulab FAQ: Troubleshooting: I am running into errors while working in my home and/or project directory (or subdirectories). What's going on?
You may have been bitten by undesireable behavior present in the way FreeBSD handles NFS mount permissions updates. Each time Emulab swaps an experiment in or out, it must modify the set of allowed mounts on the Emulab fileserver to match the permissions required by the current set of experiments. This means adding mount permissions for nodes swapping in as part of an experiment, or removing permissions for nodes belonging to an experiment that is swapping out.
Unfortunately, the way that the mount daemon (mountd) and the FreeBSD kernel currently perform this update involves momentarily clearing the entire mount permissions table, followed by installing the new, updated one. What happens to external users during that update time period depends on the version of FreeBSD that is running. Prior to FreeBSD 9 (i.e., most current Emulab installations), if you are interacting with files that happen to be located on an NFS mounted filesystem exported from the Emulab fileserver (e.g., files on /users or /proj), the lapse in permissions will result in errors such as "permission denied", "stale NFS handle", and "No such file or directory." Starting with FreeBSD 9, mountd will suspend the NFS server while it is doing the update. To the user, this will appears as a slight delay when accessing a file, rather than an error.
Use the Emulab tarball feature to lay down your files.
Pull back changes with the loghole facility.
Use rsync to pull/push over your files. Most Emulab nodes have an empty fourth disk partition you can setup and use if you need more space to work in. Follow this link for more information.

Cellaring guide
"Cantina Terlano has an unusual offering in the form of its Rarities, special editions of mature white wines that have been left to age on the lees in steel pressure tanks for at least ten years. The 2002 Rarity is a Pinot Bianco with a youthful freshness that belies its maturity. That makes it perfect for a long period of aging in the bottle. Terlano has the terroir to produce great white wines, as its Rarities so convincingly demonstrate."
Doc denomination: Alto Adige Terlano
Variety: 100% Pinot Bianco
History of the variety: first vintage 1979
Bottles produced: 3,340
Yield: 42 hl/ha
Quality line: The rarities
Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with partial malolactic fermentation (50%) and aging on the lees in big wooden barrels for 12 months; further aging on the lees in steel pressure tanks without filtering or fining for at least ten years.
Country: Alto Adige Terlano DOC
Provenance: Alto Adige
Altitude: 250 - 900 m a. s. l.
Slope: 5 - 70 %
Orientation: South - Southwest
Wine character
Color: intensive light straw yellow with delicate greenish reflections
Smell: Terlano's 2000 rarity wine has an impressive freshness and a wealth of aromas, with new components revealed at every tasting, including herbal notes of camomile, lemon balm and lovage together with a hint of dried kaki and apricot. The multifaceted bouquet also displays aromas of bread crust and yeast bun paired with flint.
Taste: The wine is smooth and creamy on the palate, with a strong acid backbone that leaves a both youthful and delicate impression and strikes a fine balance with the mineral components. The finish is elegant and silky, but also enormously deep and firm.
Simple pairings
The ideal meditation wine.
Excellent with poached lobster and sautéed mussels, also in combination with taglierini with butter and white truffles, and with beef carpaccio with fresh Alba truffles or a veal sirloin steak.
2002 will also be remembered as a warm year, even though the January was very cold and the heat of summer did not last very long. Thanks to above-average temperatures in the transitional months, however, the wines have an attractive tension and complexity. During the whole of the winter, Terlano was not once carpeted in snow. The combination of soils without a protective snow cover, the lack of precipitation since the end of the previous autumn and the long period of cold weather made it a difficult start to the year in the vineyards. It was not until February that a normal volume of rain was delivered. That also heralded a relatively positive pattern of spring weather. The vegetation emerged from its hibernation in the middle of March and, thanks to the warm temperatures, developed very quickly. Not even a late frost at the end of the month or the unsettled – but always warm – weather in April were a problem for the grapevines. The pronounced lack of moisture during spring was compensated by a large number of rainy days in May – as well as continually above-average temperatures – so that even the lower layers of soil received an adequate water supply. Summer arrived unexpectedly early, but the hot weather did not last very long and, after just thirty days, it seemed to be over by the end of June. Neither the July nor August were very summery, with several days of rain but only a limited amount of precipitation. The autumn began with some very warm and sunny days, but the temperatures dropped steeply toward the end of September, returning to the normal range for the time of year. Following a short period of rain, the October was a very good month for the harvest.
The vineyards are located at between 250 and 900 meters above sea-level on a bed of striking red porphyry, an igneous rock with large mineral inclusions known as quartz porphyry in geological terminology. This terroir is home to salty wines with a fine tension to intrigue the palate plus outstanding longevity. The south-facing slopes receive maximum sunshine. Under these almost Mediterranean conditions, a wide range of grape varieties flourish, while in Terlano itself various Mediterranean plants like olive, pomegranate, cypress and almond trees are to be found. The warm days and cool nights of the ripening period are the key to a high sugar content, intensive aromatics and the typical Alpine freshness of the wines.
In addition to "Alto Adige DOC" as the geographic designation of origin for Alto Adige, the wines are additionally labeled "Terlano" in recognition of the specific climatic and geological character of the terroir. The term "Terlaner classico" is used for those grape varieties that grow in the traditional wine-growing area between Andriano, Nalles and Terlano.
The high peaks of the main Alpine chain protect South Tyrol from the Atlantic winds and cold northerlies, while the region benefits from the Mediterranean climate from the south. That explains the pronounced differences between day- and night-time temperatures, which are the key to full maturity and elegant wines.
To the south, a number of mountain massifs like the Adamello also have a protective function. As a result, annual precipitation is only about one-third of the average for the southern Alpine foothills, and the number of hours of sunshine is higher. The climatic conditions are not unlike those to be found in wine-growing areas like the Swiss Canton Valais.
When the sun rises behind the mountains east of Terlano on one of the year's 300 sunny days, it is already high in the sky as the wine-growing area has a westerly to southwesterly exposure. The lower atmospheric density permits more direct solar irradiation with less diffuse sunlight. That increases the difference between the slopes on the sunny and shady sides of the valley.

Dedicated Agents Who Honor U.S. Veterans With Acts Of Service
Coldwell Banker Real Estate Agents Leaving Their Mark
Athena Snow	Nov 11, 2019
On November 11, we commemorate U.S. veterans for their incredible acts of service, sacrifice and bravery. During this time when we contemplate and celebrate their lives and efforts, we look to extend our gratitude to so many real estate agents who go beyond their professional responsibilities to support veterans through numerous non-profit organizations, programs and activities in their communities.
According to the Office of the Texas Governor, in Texas alone there are an estimated of 1.5 million residing veterans. Texas also has one of the highest numbers of active duty and reserve members of the military. With this great population of veterans, it comes as now surprise that over 2,360 veteran organizations were registered in Texas – ranging in services, from assistance in transitioning to civilian life and supporting wounded veterans to advocating for veterans' rights and legislation.
As the Armed Forces have long been an integral part of the history and culture of Texas, we want to share the inspiring stories of these Coldwell Banker affiliate real estate agents and their personal acts of service.
Jean Shine in Killeen, TX leads more than Shine Team Realtors – the top team affiliated with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors in Austin. She is a leader in service to the veteran community and has provided invaluable support for the U.S. Army as the Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for Central Texas.
Shine's foundation, Friends of the Central Texas Veterans Cemetery, works to guarantee that no veteran's grave goes without a wreath during Thanksgiving and Christmas. For the past 11 years, Shine has led the Wreaths for Veterans ceremony. Last year, approximately 8,000 wreaths were laid out with the support of nearly 5,000 volunteers.
Shine was born in Germany where her father was stationed after WWII. While growing up as a military child, she relocated to several places with her family. It was after her husband Bill's return from Vietnam that Shine settled in Killeen along with their children, before becoming a Realtor.
In an interview with Texas Appeal, Sine said, "The military teaches you to connect quickly with other people and to support each other … We need to be there for the soldiers, we want to place a wreath on every grave forever."
LaRessa Neuman is an independent affiliated real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Georgetown, TX and works devotedly around the clock for her real estate clients. But she doesn't stop there. She is also a military spouse and a mother who makes supporting veterans a very important part of her life. This year, Neuman hosted her 2nd annual Chill and Peel fundraising event benefiting the Hounds for Heroes non-profit organization. The proceeds raised help to sponsor service dogs for veterans who are challenged by visible and invisible wounds of war.
Neuman's first event in 2017 was a grand slam, with over $5,000 raised for the charity. She organizes the entire event in which attendees can enjoy all-you-can-eat crawfish, outdoor activities, raffles and live music. Neuman recently joined the organization's board, to which she said, "This charity holds a very special place in my heart. I have seen first-hand how much a service dog means to the veterans. Most people don't know a service dogs can cost nearly $20,000 or more. My hope is to bring new ideas and opportunities to the charity."
Veteran Robert De Jong served 30 year in the U.S. Army and retired as a Colonel. Today, he continues to serve his community in more ways than one – professionally, as a real estate agent affiliated with Coldwell Banker's Westlake office, and as a member of the Austin Community Eagles Society (ACES). ACES was initiated by two U.S. Air Force Colonels, in 1982, to create a support network for other Colonels who were transitioning to civilian life and careers.
As the group grew, they became a non-profit association and began philanthropic endeavors to give back to military members and the overall Austin community. For De Jong, it was the important to give back to the community in which he lives and works that drove him to join. ACES is now 62 members strong and comprised of De Jong and fellow retired Colonels who work to support and raise funds for veteran groups and numerous civilian groups including "Guide Dogs of Texas", which trains dogs to be Certified Guide Dogs for the visually impaired.
Since 1993, ACES has been sponsoring the Christmas party for the patients at Austin State Hospital (ASH). According to De Jong, "When we first started, the community relations representative at ASH said they needed volunteers, so we stepped in to help out. We provide a laundry bag with a sweatshirt and socks to the patients, snacks and carol singing for entertainment. We also have a member who serves as Santa Claus and delivers the laundry bags and receives the Christmas wishes of the patients."

Q: Describing this topological space I am doing this exercise from Armstrong's Topology book, and am super confused:

"describe each of the following spaces: [...] $\mathbb{E}^2$ with each of the circles centre the origin and of integer radius identified to a point."

First, there seems to be a grammatical error, and second, I am really confused how to approach this one, and what it is asking. I think that it is asking about circles centered at the origin and only of integer radius. (Maybe it means all circles, but only identify those which have integer radius?)
Also, when it says 'to a point' does it mean that all the circles are going to be identified with the same point?

A: I agree that the wording is confusing.  My interpretation is that you want to consider $\mathbb{E}^2$, and using $C_n$ to refer to the circle centered at the origin with radius $n \in \mathbb{N}$, identify each $C_n$ to its own point.
Imagine holding $\mathbb{E}^2$ at the origin by your fingertips, and letting the rest of the space fall with gravity to form a cone, like this.  This way we can (visually) separate the circles of integer radius, because they are all at different heights.  Now for each circle, imagine gluing all of the points together.  The result would be something like this.

A: It seems that you're to start with the Euclidean plane. Then, every point lying on any integer-radius circle centered at the origin is supposed to be considered identical to all other such points. Put another way, let $A=\{x\in\Bbb E^2: \lvert x\rvert_2\in\Bbb Z\},$ and consider the space $\Bbb E^2$ with all points of $A$ identified.
Alternately, all points on any given circle (of integer radius with its center at the origin) are to be identified. Honestly, I can see room for either interpretation. That really is poorly phrased. Perhaps that's why the language of mathematics isn't (for example) English.

A: I think it should say:

$\mathbb{E}^2$ with each of the circles centered at the origin and of integer radius identified to a point.

This means that you put an equivalence relation on $\mathbb{E}^2$ such that each of the circles around the origin of integer radius forms a single equivalence class.  That is, you define $(x,y)\sim(z,w)$ iff either $(x,y)=(z,w)$ or there exists $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $x^2+y^2=z^2+w^2=n^2$.
(Alternatively, you could interpret it to mean that all of the circles together should be put into a single equivalence class, so $(x,y)\sim(z,w)$ iff $(x,y)=(z,w)$ or there exist $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $x^2+y^2=m^2$ and $z^2+w^2=m^2$.  But I think this is less likely to be the intended interpretation, because the wording with "each" suggests that each circle should separately be identified to its own point.)

A: I have a solution, from a solutions manual, of this problem that might help to clear up of your confusion:
Let $X$ be $\mathbb{E}^2$ with each of the circles centred at the origin and of integer radius identified to a point. For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $C_n$
be the sphere in $\mathbb{E}^3$ of radius $1/2$ centered at $(n, 0, 0)$.
Let $Y = \cup_{n \in \mathbb{N}}C_n$. Then $X$ is homeomorphic to $Y$.
Let $X$ be the space in question and let $f : \mathbb{E}^2 \rightarrow X$ be the identification map.
For each $n \in \mathbb{N} \:$ let $A_n = \{p \in \mathbb{E}^2 | n − 1 \leq \|p\| \leq n\}$.
For $n > 1$, $A_n$ is an annulus, so homeomorphic to a cylinder. And $A_0$ is exactly the closed unit disc.
The image of $A_0$ in $X$ is $A_0$ with its boundary circle identified to a point. We know, by the example "The identification space $B^n/S^{n−1}$" (on pages $68-69$), that $A_0$ with its boundary identified to a point is homeomorphic to $S^2$.
Likewise, we know by part $(a)$ of this problem that for $n > 0$, the image of $A_n$ in $X$ is homeomorphic to $S^2$. Now the image of $A_n$ in $X$ shares exactly one point with $A_{n−1}$ and exactly one point with $A_n$, when $n > 0$ and $A_0$ shares exactly one point with $A_1$.
Thus $X$ is homeomorphic to a countable sequence of spheres each connected to the next by one point. This is exactly the space $Y$.

The East Lancs European was a step entrance single-decker bus body that was built on the Scania L113CRL chassis by East Lancashire Coachbuilders during 1995 and 1996.

A step-entrance design, it was similar in appearance to the low-floor MaxCi on the N113CRL, but had a straight window line as opposed to a stepped/sloped one.

History

A total of 79 Europeans were built, of which besides five that were purchased by Yorkshire Traction, 59 were purchased by companies owned by the British Bus group. These companies were Luton & District (taking 27), Northumbria Motor Services (20), Midland Fox (14), Clydeside 2000 (eight) and Derby City Transport (five).

The European was superseded in late 1996 by the Flyte.

There's a grocery store at the end of my street. Quite convenient. It's a Hispanic centric market, and the produce is great. But there is something extra special at this store… Each year, I look forward to one event, and one event only. CHEAP CHERRIES!
Summer is the time. Big Saver is the Place. Cherries drop well below the typical $5/lb (yeah, I'm talkin' about you Whole Foods), and I stock up. I've seen it as low as $0.99/lb. This only lasts a couple weeks, so you must use them and use them quickly. Our answer? A canning party. Last year, it was at our house. This year it was at Sue & Ashley's. We made cherries of all kinds: brandied cherries, bourbon'd cherries, balsamic cherries, and cherry jam. And yet, there were still cherries.
When in doubt, add liquor. Here's Sue's contribution to the night.
How to be Neighborly: When life gives you cherries… smash them.
In the bottom of a glass, combine the cherries, vanilla extract, bourbon, sugar and lemon juice. Muddle together until cherries are broken and juices are released. Top with ice cubes and pour club soda over the top. Makes 1.
In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Place in clean jars, and cover with a sterilized canning lid. in a large stock pot, boil in a water bath with the lid on, water 1/2 up sides of the jars, for 10 minutes. Remove from the jars from the pot, and listen for the "pop" of the lids. Press with your finger to ensure they have sealed. Store up to 6 months.
That was so much fun! And so yummy!


My family came out to Quincy for Christmas! It was awesome! We met Mike's girlfriend, Camille, for the first time. :) We went to Carthage and Nauvoo. We went ice skating down by the river (memories that will last a lifetime! And never again!) We introduced Camille to A Christmas Story (Christmas family tradition). We hung out, ate, played games and just had a great time.
After Aunt Kathy's we went to stay with Grandma. We went up to her cabin in Bear Lake. My mom surprised us and sneaked into the cabin with Aunt Kathy in the middle of the night. So fun! We all went out on Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Lynn's boat. My two cousins, Scott and Kurt and Kurt's girlfriend came by for a quick visit. So beautiful! Totally in our element!
Mom stayed one day after the cabin so we had a birthday party for Sophie and Mabel and the next day we went up to visit Grandpa in the nursing home. A lady who works there brings in her kangaroo to visit the residents. It was so cool to see and pet a baby kangaroo!
The next couple of days were spent visiting friends and family some more. It was a great trip!
Liam got "guck, mommy, guck" in the doggie door at Grandma's. It was too funny not to get a picture of before I helped him out.
We also had a picnic at the Bountiful Temple with Grandma Moore. It was a fantastic day and the kids loved the temple.
Since TJ and I couldn't decide where to go on a couple's vacation we ended taking a family vacation to Idaho and Utah. We drove the grueling 21 hours, with minimal stops on the way. We did stop in Wyoming at the Turtle Rock National Park. We had to force Sophie to get out of the car but we all ended up really enjoying our little walk.
While in Idaho we floated down the Boise river (no pics cuz I didn't take my phone on a river!), took part in another Mooraculous Race by the master, Suzette, and participated in Shadrach's baptism. We had a great few days with TJ's family.
Before Idaho, we stayed two nights with TJ's cousin Casey, Becca and Sage. The first night we made a trip to Urgent Care with Sophie because she had a fever that wouldn't break. The next day we Casey and Becca took the day off work so we could all play. They got their horses ready and we all got to ride them. It was super fun.
What is that above your lip, Papa?

They don't really have the luxury of inflexibility though. Not reaching a deal will be detrimental to the EU.
no it wont, a no deal will help the EU immeasurably, no one in their right minds will invest in the UK without an EU deal in place, and any mutlinational inside the UK will be looking to get out asap.

The EU Commission is will unlikely accept Chequers, and neither will Chequers get through parliament. Checquers is already further than many Brexiteers were willing to budge.
It is not up to the Commission to accept or reject it. In the first instance is the council of ministers, then the EU parliament and finally the 37 regional and national parliaments.
Do a bit of research on how things work for heavens sakes!
It's not that the EU "hold all the power", it's just their inflexibility in their approach to negotiations.
Why should the EU have to compromise on any of it's principles? Just because you say so??? in case you have forgotten the 27 represents 450m people, there is no reason whatsoever for them to feel the need to compromise for the sake of a third country.
Every single proposal has been blocked by UK red lines. Their problem.

People keep harping on about how terrible no deal will be for the UK, however it'll be shit for the EU too. Especially Ireland. The consequences will obviously be lessened, but there will none the less be consequences.
At least you concede now that a hard Brexit looks quite detrimental to the UK. Whether the EU suffers as well has no effect on that (not sure you're right on that one).
Planes still carry cargo, which will now have to be checked. ATC is also another huge grey area.
Planes? Which planes? As things stand there will be no planes from the UK to the EU and vice cersa after Brexit because the necessary treaties will no longer be valid nor will there be any replacements in case of a hard Brexit.

There is one point I'll never grasp.
In the period before the vote I would attentively follow the large amount of information in the media regarding Brexit. In Switzerland, Italy, France and Germany there were experts of all kinds explaining the details and consequences. Then I'd travel to the UK and find that there was hardly nothing explained on TV or in the press, or at least not the same amount of expert insight as found in Europe.
because the remain camp didn't think the general public was that stupid - big mistake
And the leave camp lied through their teeth - and the general public somehow believed that the nhs would get an extra 350m a week if we left, and all those filthy immigrants would all be deported and everything bad in the uk as all the fault of the EU.
the 'promises' the leave campaign made where bordering on criminal
I guess the fact most of the remain politicians are / where some of the most hated didn't help either.

The EU Commission is very much leading the Brexit negotiations, if they carry in the way in which they are there is a very high risk there will be no agreement for the EU Council to or national Parliaments to ratify.
Because as much as you keep repeating it, the UK isn't a third country. It is a country that has been a member of the EU in it's various forms for 40 years. Like it or not, the EU and the UK are very much intertwined on matters such as security, trade, supply chains and not least the 3.5 million EU citizens living there. No deal will cause much disruption on both sides. The same cannot be said for a trade negotiation with a third country.

UK commercial property has been a dog for years, why invest in a low yield asset if your GS? No point at all to own property if your an investment bank as it's a poor use of capital.
OMG, do you have any idea of what just happened! They sold the building and as a result are now renting it, meaning it is easier to move and their bank balances are healthier.
lewton
That does not answer the question, there is no reason for the EU to compromise it principles to give the UK a special deal and the UK is being offered the same type of trade deal as any third country because that is exactly what it will be.
The UK is going to find itself in the exact same situation when it sits down to talk with other trade blocks as well.
This is an interesting exchange between a former international trade negotiator and someone from I think it is BREXIT Central.

The point that surprised me is that the EU trade deals with Canada and Japan includes clauses requiring them to seek EU approval before they enter into any major trade deals that might impact the EU deal.
You know Goldman Sachs did the same thing with their current London HQ 10 odd years ago, right? This isn't something out of the ordinary.
The comments on here are just further evidence of the post truth age we live in. A company is widely reported as investing in London post Brexit and even states so themselves is not in fact doing so because people refuse to believe the facts presented to them as it doesn't fit with their own narrative.

In respond to legitimate concerns over Android's generally weak security, Samsung came up with its containerization technology for higher-end Samsung Android devices including the Galaxy Note 3. It is called KNOX. In order to use KNOX, your device must support its virtualization technology at the hardware level.
1. Launch or open KNOX application on your device.
2. Read and agree to the terms and conditions.
3. Tap Next to continue.
4. Set/create and confirm a password.
5. Set/create and confirm a backup PIN.
The KNOX installation process should now initiate on your device. Wait until KNOX installation is finished and it should already be integrated to your Note 3 system by then.
KNOX works in a way by separating data and apps into containers, thus making it difficult for malware or intruders to gain access or cause any damage to anything stored on your device or the device itself. It is integrated to a device's hardware and on individual level of the Android framework. KNOX software is regarded as a full-coverage solution.

Q: Creating Fragments during orientation change I am following a book on Android programming and they are using some code to dynamically create Fragments whenever you change from portrait/landscape mode. However, portions of the example code is now deprecated, any ideas of how I would go about doing something similar to this?
FragmentTransaction frTr = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
WindowManager w = getWindowManager();
Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay();

if(d.getWidth() > d.getHeight())
    ......
else
    ....

A: you have to override onConfigurationChanged in your fragment or activity, for that try this code.
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    setOrientation(newConfig.orientation);
}

/**
 * Set layout Orientation
 */
protected void setOrientation(int orientation) {

    if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
   //write your code for ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    } else if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
   //write your code for ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
    }
}

If you run this app with all the tweaks suggested in the earlier article it should start in round about a second, or a bit longer depending on your hardware. It does a lot in that time - sets up a logging system, reads and binds to configuration files, starts Netty and listens on port 8080, providing a route to the @GetMapping in the application, and also provides default error handling. If the Spring Boot Actuator is on the classpath, you also get a /health and an /info endpoint (and it will take a bit longer to start up because of that).
The @SpringBootApplication annotation, in case you didn't know, is meta-annotated with @EnableAutoConfiguration and this is what provides all that useful functionality for free. That's what makes Spring Boot popular, so we don't want to lose any of it, but we can take a closer look at what is actually happening and maybe do some of it manually, to see if we learn anything.
if you want to try this code out, it's easy to get an empty WebFlux app from the Spring Initializr. Just select the "Reactive Web" checkbox and download the project.
While the @EnableAutoConfiguration feature makes adding features to an application easy, it also takes away some control over which features are enabled. Most people are happy to make that compromise - the ease of use outweighs the loss of control. Potentially there are performance penalties - the application might start a bit slower because Spring Boot has to do some work to find all those features and install them. In fact there is not a significant amount of effort involved in finding the right features: there is no classpath scan, and condition evaluation is extremely fast, after careful optimization. The bulk (80% or so) of startup time for one of this application is taken up by the JVM loading classes, so practically the only way to make it start up quicker is to ask it to do less, by installing fewer features.
Autoconfiguration can always be disabled using the exclude attribute in the @EnableAutoConfiguration annotation. Some individual autoconfigurations also have their own boolean configuration flag that can be set externally, e.g. for JMX we could use spring.jmx.enabled=false (as a System property or in a properties file, for example). We could go down that road and manually switch off everything we didn't want to use, but that gets a bit clumsy and doesn't stop additional things being switched on if the classpath changes.
Instead, let's see what we can do using the existing autoconfiguration classes but just applying the ones we know we want to use, corresponding to the features we like. We could call this the "a la carte" approach, as opposed to "all you can eat" that comes with full autoconfiguration. Autoconfiguration classes are just regular @Configuration so in principle we can @Import them into an application that does not @EnableAutoConfiguration.
Don't do this without reading the rest of the article. It's not the right way to use Spring Boot Autoconfiguration. It might break something, but as always your mileage may vary.
The full features set of Spring Boot autoconfiguration includes other stuff that might actually be needed in a real application, as opposed to the specific tiny sample. In other words, the 30% speed up is not going to be available for all applications, and your mileage may vary.
The manual configuration is brittle, and hard to guess. If you wrote another application that did slightly different things, you would need a different configuration import. You can mitigate this by extracting it into a convenience class or annotation, and re-using it.
An @Import does not behave the same way as @EnableAutoConfiguration in relation to ordering of configuration classes. The order is important within the @Import in case some classes have conditional behaviour that depend on earlier classes. To mitigate you just have to be careful.
There is another ordering problem in a typical real-world application. To mimic the behaviour of @EnableAutoConfiguration you need the user configurations to be processed first, so that they can override the conditional configuration in Spring Boot. If you use @ComponentScan, you can't control the order of the scan, or the order those classes are processed compared to @Imports. You can mitigate this by using a different annotation (see below).
The Spring Boot autoconfigurations were actually never designed to be used this way, and doing so might introduce subtle bugs in your application. The only mitigations for this are exhaustive testing that it works the way you expect, and being cautious about upgrades.
This app starts even faster comparative to the full @EndpointAutoConfiguration application (maybe even 50% faster), because we only included the configuration relevant to the two default endpoints. Spring Boot activates all endpoints by default but does not expose them to HTTP. If we only care about /health and /info that is wasteful, but of course it also leaves a lot of really useful features on the table.
Spring Boot may well do more in the future to disable actuators that have not been exposed or have not been used. E.g. see issues on lazy actuators and conditional endpoints (which is already in Spring Boot 2.1.2).
So that's 12 autoconfigurations that we didn't need (yet anyway) and which led to 56 additional beans in the autoconfigured application. They all provide useful features, so we might want to include them again one day, but for now let's assume that we are happy to live without whatever they are doing.
spring-boot-autoconfigure has 122 autoconfigurations (there are more in spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure) and the fully leaded autoconfigured sample application above only used 18 of them. The computation of which ones to use takes place very early and most of them are discarded by Spring Boot before any classes are even loaded. It's very fast (a few milliseconds).
The ordering issue associated with the difference between user configuration (which has to be applied first) and autoconfiguration can be addressed partially by using a different annotation. Spring Boot provides an annotation for this: @ImportAutoConfiguration, which is from spring-boot-autoconfigure but used in the test slices features that ship with Spring Boot Test. So you can replace the @Import annotation in the examples above with @ImportAutoConfiguration and the effect is to defer processing of the autoconfigurations until after all the user configurations (e.g. picked up via @ComponentScan or @Import).
The advantages of doing this are that the application code no longer has to manually enumerate the configurations, and also that the ordering is now taken care of by Spring Boot (the properties file entry is sorted before it is used). The disadvantage is that it is only useful for applications which need precisely these features, and has to be replaced or augmented in any application that wants to do something a bit different. It is still fast though - Spring Boot does a little bit of extra work for the book keeping (sorting and ordering), but not really very much. It will probably still start in less than 700ms on the right hardware, with the right JVM flags.
In the earlier article I mentioned that functional bean definitions would be the most efficient way to get an application started with Spring. This is still the case, and we can squeeze an extra 10% or so out of this application by re-writing all the Spring Boot autoconfigurations as ApplicationContextInitializers. You could do that manually, or you could use some initializers that have already been prepared for you, as long as you don't mind trying out some experimental features. There are 2 projects currently active exploring the idea of new tools and new programming models based on functional bean definitions: Spring Fu and Spring Init. Both provide at least a minimal set of functional bean definitions replacing or wrapping the Spring Boot autoconfigurations. Spring Fu is API (DSL) based, and doesn't use reflection or annotations. Spring Init has the functional bean definitions and also has a prototype of an annotation-based programming model for "a la carte" configuration. Both are covered in more detail elsewhere.
The main point to note here is that functional bean definitions are faster, but if that is your main concern, remember that it is only a 10% effect. As soon as you put all the features back in the application that we stripped down above, you are back to loading all the necessary classes and back to roughly the same approximate startup time as well. To put this another way, the cost of the @Configuration processing at runtime is not completely negligible, but it also isn't very high (10% or so in these tiny apps, or maybe 100ms).
It's not a "real" application, but it is heavier than the simple sample, and uses a lot more features at runtime (like Hibernate for example), so it is somewhat more realistic. There are two versions, "demo" and "actr", where the latter is just the same but with Actuators. For both samples, the fastest startup time is the yellow dot, which is functional bean definitions, but only 10% behind that (about 200ms in this app) are the "a la carte" options (green and red). Green uses a custom annotation like the @EnableWebFluxAutoConfiguration one above. Red is a different "a la carte" option where groups of autoconfigurations can be imported together via a different custom annotation, currently named @SpringInitApplication and being prototyped in Spring Init. Blue is the fully leaded autoconfiguration (out of the box Spring Boot).
Spring Boot autoconfiguration is hugely convenient, but can be characterized as "all you can eat". Currently (as of 2.1.x) it is maybe providing more features than some applications use or require. In the "a la carte" approach, you can use Spring Boot as a convenient collection of prepared and pre-tested configurations and choose which parts you use. If you do that then @ImportAutoConfiguration is an important part of the toolkit, but exactly how you should best use it might change as we research this topic further. Future versions of Spring Boot, and possibly other new projects like Spring Fu or Spring Init, will make it easier to narrow the choice of configurations used at runtime, either automatically or by explicit choice. At the end of the day, @Configuration processing at runtime is not free, but it isn't particularly expensive either (especially with Spring Boot 2.1.x). The smaller number of features you use, the fewer classes are loaded, which lead to faster startup. At the end of the day we don't expect @EnableAutoConfiguration to lose its value or its popularity, and remember your mileage may vary: the PetClinic and simple samples in this article are not a guide to what you can expect with larger, more complex applications.

Japanese Influences in European Art
Autor: Antonio • February 25, 2011 • Essay • 700 Words (3 Pages) • 1,836 Views
Japonism is the term used to describe the effect the ending of Japanese isolationism in the mid to late 1800's had upon the arts of the western world. The original word, Japonisme, was coined by French author Jules Claretie in 1872, according to Colta Ives' book on the subject, The Great Wave: The Influence of Japanese Woodcuts on French Prints, first published in 1974.
In the year 1600, the Japanese Shogun Tokogawa banned all western ships from Japanese ports, fearing that Western influence and trade would damage his power, loosening his grip as ruler of Japan. At the time, Japan was a relatively unchanged society; much like China is was geographically isolated from much of the rest of the world, and people there lived as they had for hundreds of years. The advent of advanced sailing technology and navigational devices in the western world eventually brought westerners into contact with Japan, bringing western influence and technology into Japan. Shogunate Tokogawa's national edict lead to 200 years of isolationism.
The only exception to this isolationism was for Dutch trading companies, whom having kept close relationships with the Japanese leaders, were allowed to trade at the port of Nagasaki. This state of affairs remained until 1854, when United States Navy Admiral Perry was able to finally negotiate a treaty with the Japanese, opening Japanese ports for trade with American ships. At this point, western goods began to be imported into Japan, and Japanese goods, mostly artistic in nature, began to be exported. This created a craze for Japanese items that swept throughout Europe and much of America (Morgan).
Quickly, items such as painted fans, kimonos, screens, and especially wooden block art began extremely in demand within the western world (Morgan). At the time, the Impressionist movement was just beginning, and works by Edgar Degas, Paul Gaughin, Gustave de Jonghe exhibit obvious Japanese influences.
One French cartoonist and artist, Georges Ferdinand Bigot, moved to Japan over his fascination with Japanese art. Though largely unknown in his native country of France, he became famous in Japan for his depictions of everyday life, often satirical in nature.

2 killed, 3 injured by possible drunk driver in Connecticut
On behalf of Jacobs & Dow, LLC | Nov 9, 2013 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News
In the early morning hours of Nov. 3, a tragic accident tore a Connecticut family apart. The family was hungry and went out grocery shopping. They were close to their home when an apparently drunk driver slammed into the back of the family's car at a red traffic light. As a result of the impact, two young children were killed. Their parents and another sibling in the car suffered serious injuries.
The deceased victims were a 5-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy. Both died at the scene. The driver believed to have caused the crash fled the scene after the accident. Connecticut police were able to locate the man at his home, which was near where the accident took place.
This driver has so far been charged with fleeing the scene, reckless endangerment and driving without a valid driver's license. Authorities believe that excessive speed and possibly alcohol were contributing factors in this case. The pending toxicology screening may indicate if the driver was under the influence at the time of the accident. Depending on the outcome of the official investigation, and if the alcohol claim is substantiated through lab testing, more serious charges might be filed against the driver. He remains in jail in lieu of posting bond in the sum of $1 million.
As the investigation and criminal charges proceed, this family will undoubtedly have an emotional trail ahead of them as they bury two children, console two surviving children and recover from their own injuries. Unfortunately, there is no way to make this family whole again. However, the parents may seek financial restitution through a personal injury claim for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. Further, they are entitled to file wrongful death claims against the alleged drunk driver in connection with the loss of their two youngest children. Any separate owner of the vehicle the accused driver was operating may be added as a defendant in the respective civil claims.

Massive Singapore Healthcare Breach Linked to 'Whitefly' Cyberspy Group
By Eduard Kovacs on March 06, 2019
A threat group that has been targeting organizations in Singapore since at least 2017 is likely behind the massive data breach suffered by SingHealth last year, Symantec reported on Wednesday.
Authorities in Singapore announced in July 2018 that a sophisticated threat actor had gained unauthorized access to a database of SingHealth, the city-state's largest group of healthcare institutions. The incident, described as Singapore's largest ever data breach, resulted in 1.5 million health records getting stolen, including personal information and details on medication.
Significant fines were handed out by Singapore's privacy watchdog earlier this year in response to the breach, which is believed by experts to have involved an IT contractor.
Immediately after the breach was disclosed, authorities and experts suggested that it was likely the work of a state-sponsored threat actor, but no other details have been provided until now.
Symantec revealed on Wednesday that the attack was likely launched by a group it tracks as "Whitefly," which has been active since at least mid-2017, mainly targeting healthcare, media, telecommunications and engineering organizations in Singapore, along with multinational companies with a presence in the country. The company has not provided any information on the nation state sponsoring the threat actor.
The security firm has described Whitefly as a cyber espionage group that relies on a combination of custom malware, open source hacking tools, and legitimate applications to achieve its goals.
Whitefly attacks typically start with a .exe or .dll file likely delivered to targeted organizations via spear-phishing emails. These files are disguised as documents or images and they contain a dropper configured to run a loader tracked by Symantec as Trojan.Vcrodat.
When it's delivered as a DLL file, the Trojan leverages a technique known as DLL hijacking to get executed on the targeted system. The hackers rely on the fact that Windows searches for an application's DLLs in specific locations in a pre-defined order. By planting the malicious DLL in one of these locations and giving it the same name as the legitimate library, they can ensure that the malware will be executed.
Learn More About Cybersecurity in Singapore at SecurityWeek's 2019 ICS Cyber Security Conference
Once it's loaded, Vcrodat contacts its command and control (C&C) server – multiple domains are configured for each target – and sends it information about the infected machine. The attackers then use the malware to download additional tools that allow them to spread to other devices on the network. These tools include Mimikatz and an open source tool designed to exploit an old Windows vulnerability (CVE-2016-0051).
"Whitefly usually attempts to remain within a targeted organization for long periods of time—often months—in order to steal large volumes of information," Symantec said. "It keeps the compromise alive by deploying a number of tools that facilitate communication between the attackers and infected computers. These tools include a simple remote shell tool that will call back to the C&C server and wait for commands, and an open-source hacking tool called Termite (Hacktool.Rootkit), which allows Whitefly to perform more complex actions such as controlling multiple compromised machines at a time."
Other attacks involved a piece of malware that Symantec tracks as Nibatad, which also helps the hackers steal information from compromised computers.
Symantec highlighted that some of the tools used by Whitefly in its attacks were also spotted in operations targeting organizations outside of Singapore. For example, a multi-purpose command tool used by the threat actor was also involved in attacks against defense, energy and telecoms organizations in Southeast Asia and Russia. This custom-built tool was not seen in any other attacks.
Researchers also spotted Vcrodat being used in an attack targeting a UK-based organization in the hospitality sector.
"It's possible Whitefly itself performed these attacks but it's more likely that they were carried out by one or more other groups with access to the same tools," Symantec's researchers explained.

Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2006 Week 13 Hansard (14 December) . . Page.. 4189..
there are a number of schools that clearly are not viable that they would not support. Maybe that is a question for future Liberal speakers: which schools will they reopen?
MR STEFANIAK (Ginninderra—Leader of the Opposition) (3.42): It amazes me, to talk initially about economic viability, to compare the various governments we have had since self-government. At self-government, the territory had a fairly good amount of cash, but it did not have it by 1992; it had been totally squandered by the Follett government. We inherited a $344.8 million deficit which was turned into a surplus in about four or five budgets, after a lot of trouble. Mr Barr talks about investment in education. Mr Barr was not around then. He might have still been at school or university. We took to the 1995 election a policy that, despite the difficult economic times we faced, there would be one area in which we would increase funding by the CPI, and that was in education. That was a promise that we kept, despite that huge deficit. I think that shows how much value we place on education.
I think the economic competence of the previous Liberal government stands by itself. It is amazing how you lot have managed to squander so much money in excellent economic times. You have had so much extra GST money coming in, $90 million more than you anticipated, and you still managed to get yourselves into the unholy mess which led to the disastrous, knee-jerk situation of the plan for school closures, the 2020 document, coming hard on the heels of the 2010 document which, incidentally, tended to back up what the spokesperson for the then minister said in saying that there would be no further school closures. The minister did not make that comment, but it was never refuted. So don't give me that sort of nonsense. Your plan has caused untold harm and damage to a number of school communities. Indeed, it has been quite illogical.
I was talking yesterday to someone from Isabella Plains who was very concerned about the P to 2 model. She has children aged three and seven and is not too sure now exactly where she will place those children. She would want them to be in the same school, but that would cause her immense difficulties. I went to Griffith infants school from 1957 to 1959. It was called an infants school and had a kindergarten and years 1 and 2. It really does seem that you have gone back to the future there. I thought you lot did not like John Howard's white picket fence, but you seem to have reinvented the wheel on that one.
I am well aware of how effective the cooperative school is in O'Connor, but I think there is considerable angst in the community about your plan. I am not even talking about closures now. We now are going to have six superschools. Whilst that might suit some people, a lot of the people I have talked to in going around the community have felt that one of the great benefits of our public school system was the fact that they could choose a small school for their children. Many people would drive across many suburbs to put their children into the school of their choice and many chose a smaller school. I think it is obvious educationally that kids with some disabilities, kids who need that extra attention, often thrive far better in a smaller environment.


Pursuant to Section 286(2) of the Local Government Act, Notice is hereby given that the Regional District of North Okanagan intends to dispose of park lands by transferring legal ownership as noted in the Public Notice in exchange for $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration. This transfer of ownership is part of the restructuring of the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service whereby local parks will become the responsibility of the local government in whose jurisdiction the park is located. The title transfers are effective January 1, 2018.

Brooklyn Army Terminal's substantial renovations celebrated on its centennial
The city's Economic Development Corporation said there is now room for about 20 additional businesses.

City officials announced Thursday that the Brooklyn Army Terminal has been nearly fully refurbished, after decades of piecemeal renovation projects.
The city's Economic Development Corporation unveiled another 500,000 square feet of newly revamped industrial space, which coincided with the former military facility's 100th anniversary.
The city began overhauling the terminal's roughly 4 million square feet under former Mayor Ed Koch and the current administration has prioritized the revamp, arguing it offers well-paying industrial firms a lower-cost hub. About one-tenth of the campus remains unrenovated, an EDC spokesman said.
"At the start of its next century, Brooklyn Army Terminal has become a job-creating engine where people are ideating, prototyping and producing, right in their biggest market," the city's Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development Alicia Glen said in a statement.
The city's Economic Development Corporation said the new space should be able to accommodate up to 20 businesses, including the 3-D printed clothing company Tailored Industry, a semi-permanent tattoo ink developer called Ephemeral Solutions and the wood and metalwork incubator SPark Workshop Brooklyn.
Altronix, which creates low-voltage power supplies and electronics, and Jomashop, a luxury watch e-retailer, are both expanding their current operations at the terminal.
The terminal's new space, which typically charges around $18 to $22 per square foot to small industrial firms, is more affordable than what is often charged elsewhere in the city, an EDC spokesman said.

Plans to alleviate traffic on the Cut and Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing got a big boost Friday with the announcement of two new two-lane bridges over Lynn Creek shouldering the existing orange Highway 1 bridge.
The $60-million project announced Friday expands on the already-in-progress Mountain Highway interchange redesign. Costs of the project will be shared equally by federal, provincial and District of North Vancouver taxpayers.
When the project is complete, which is targeted for 2021, the Cut will be divided into express and collector lanes, similar to what's used at the Port Mann Bridge now, with local east- and westbound traffic crossing the new bridges.
The design is meant to physically separate east-west traffic trying to get across the North Shore from traffic bound for the Ironworkers. It will also mean less weaving and merging of vehicles at multiple entry points on the highway, which creates inefficiencies.
The total cost of the project is now nearly $200 million.
North Vancouver Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite described the project Friday as "one of the most complicated infrastructure projects in the province today" and one that's critical to the North Shore. "Since 2009, this has been the number one issue I've been working on," she said.
Thornthwaite said the lower Lynn corridor is currently a choke point for the entire region – both for people driving from Horseshoe Bay to Burnaby and those going from shopping to soccer practice within North Vancouver.
He added he'd raised the issue of the significant bottleneck in the area and promised a Liberal government would fix it during the 2015 federal election.
North Vancouver Lonsdale MLA Naomi Yamamoto said the full project will create 600 jobs over a four-year period.
The new express/collector distribution system will be an adjustment at first, with a few people likely getting caught in the express lanes and missing their desired exit, said Gavin Joyce, the District of North Vancouver's general manager of engineering.
According to traffic studies, about 20 per cent of the drivers on the Cut during the evening rush hour are exiting before the bridge.
Part of the $20 million going towards the project from District of North Vancouver taxes will go towards the purchase or expropriation of private land on the north side of the existing bridge, and more trees will have to be removed from Bridgman Park to accommodate the new bridges.
There had been talk of replacing the orange 1960 Highway 1 bridge over Lynn Creek, but the structure has at least another 15 years of life left in it.
Compared to previous iterations, the concept unveiled Friday adds the ability for Mountain Highway drivers to get on Highway 1 eastbound, though it does not offer a way for drivers exiting the Cut at the new interchange to turn north onto Mountain Highway.
Eventually, the province will also look to totally revamp the Main Street/Dollarton Highway interchange as well, although what that might look like hasn't even been put on paper yet.
According to a provincial traffic study, the Ironworkers Bridge itself is almost at capacity now. In theory, the bridge can handle 1,800 vehicles per lane, per hour heading eastbound. But the bridge already accommodates more than 5,000 vehicles per hour in its three eastbound lanes during peak periods.
Seymour North Burnaby MP Terry Beech acknowledged Friday's announcement won't eliminate traffic congestion on the North Shore. "It's not the only solution to solving our traffic problems," he said, adding housing affordability and transit also play key roles. "All of these issues affect traffic and they affect each other," he said.
Walton said the project will make a difference to traffic congestion on the North Shore.

VICTORIA DERBY HISTORY AND GUIDE
The Victoria Derby is the feature race on the opening day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington Racecourse as the very best three-year-old colts and geldings – and the occasional filly – attempt to capture the Classic.
Part of the Melbourne Spring Carnival, the Group 1 takes place on a Saturday at the end of October or beginning or November (depending where the following Tuesday falls as the Melbourne Cup always takes place on the first Tuesday in November) to get Melbourne Cup week underway.
The 2500m race, which has a prize fund of $1.5million, attracts the best staying performers of the three-year-old brigade clash under set-weight conditions.
From a vast amount of entries, the best 16 (plus four emergencies) will make the nominations field. Because of the competitiveness of the entries, entry is decided first on the winners of eligible races and then by prize money won over the past two seasons.
The Victoria Derby dates back to 1855 making it Australia's oldest race, and was run over 2400m for much of its history. But with the distance from the barriers to the first turn deemed too short, it was extended to 2500m in 1973 to ensure a fair start for all runners and meaning the gate draw did not hold the key to the result of the race.
Rose Of May won the first-ever Victoria Derby and he has been followed onto the roll our honour some real star names including the legendary Phar Lap, who won the race in 1929 and is regarded as the best horse to win the Victoria Derby having gone on to great acclaim.
Other winners of the Victoria Derby include Fireworks, who won the race twice before it became limited to three-year-olds only, Poseidon, another early winner in 1906, Tulloch, who took the race on his way to stardom in 1957, future Cox Plate winners Dulcify (1978) and Red Anchor (1984), Elvstroem, who triumphed in 2003 before taking out the Caulfield Cup the following year as a four-year-old, and 2006 winner Efficient, who went on to win the Melbourne Cup the following year and become for the first horse since Phar Lap to win the Flemington race the year after winning the Victoria Derby.
There has been a drought for the fillies who were brave enough to take on the colts and geldings, with the last to achieve victory being Frances Tressaday back in 1923.
Among the key lead up races for the Victoria Derby is the AAMI Vase, a Group 2 race staged over 2040m a week earlier at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day. Raveneaux (1986), Blevic (1994), Helenus (2002), Plastered (2004) and Efficient (2006) are some of those to do the double with the latter proving to be a real star by landing the Melbourne Cup the following year. The race has proven to be the best guide to finding the winner of the Victoria Derby.
The Group 3 Norman Robinson Stakes, held at Caulfield, and the listed Cranbourne Cup both provide plenty of clues to the Victoria Derby each year, as do the Cox Plate, in which some three-year-olds will have clashed with the elders, the Caulfield Cup or the Caulfield Guineas.
The winner of the Victoria Derby is exempt from ballot for the Melbourne Cup if taking up the engagement three days later. Nothin' Leica Dane attempted to complete the double in 1995 only to be denied by Doriemus at Flemington as he came home in second place. Other runners will have a variety of potential targets on their agenda after running in the Victoria Derby. Any fillies deemed good enough to have taken on the colts and geldings will most likely appear again in the VRC Oaks, the fillies only equivalent of the Victoria Derby which takes place five days later, while the three-year-old programme often sees horses bid for victory in the Sandown Classic, Queen Elizabeth Stakes or Geelong Cup. Alternatively, they may spell ahead of a busy summer and autumn campaign.

FLEMINGTON RACECOURSE TRACK DESCRIPTION
Flemington is a spacious track with one of the longest straights in Australia at 450m which gives all horses an equal chance with luck in running.
Flemington also has a 1200 metre straight track for racing which is commonly referred to as "The Straight Six" course.
The run to first turn in the Melbourne Cup is 888m, ensuring that no horse has their chances hampered during the opening half-a-mile.
FLEMINGTON RACECOURSE HISTORY
Steeped in tradition and home of Australia's most iconic race, the Melbourne Cup, Flemington is arguably Australia's most famous racecourse.
Crowds in excess of 100,000 people are a common occurrence during Flemington's biggest race days where the Victorian Racing Club provides an entertaining environment for all.
The racecourse was first built in the 1850s and made its way onto the National Heritage List in 2006.
Flemington was originally named the Melbourne Racecourse on Crown Land after the Governor of New South Wales in 1848 formally declared 352 acres as a public racecourse and set up a six-member trust to oversee the racecourse.
The Victoria Racing Club Act passed by the government in 1871, made the club the trustees of the racecourse.
The Gold Rush era brought great wealth to Melbourne and Flemington soon grew in popularity, attracting vibrant crowds by the thousands.
Races were initially run in autumn, however, in 1854 the Victoria Turf Club decided to hold spring meetings due to favourable weather conditions – this eventually led to the hosting of the Melbourne Cup.
