I haven't read anything by Johansen either--the covers of her books always look so compelling. I have to give her books a try. Is Roy her husband or son?
I think Roy is her son. This was my first book by them but I'd definitely like to read more - particularly her suspense titles.
I have been reading Iris Johansen since she was writing Silhouette romances. I like her thrillers too. This week I am spotlighting Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Mary Wingate - a cozy mystery. Happy reading!
I love Wingate's books. This was my first Johansen though of course I've heard of her!
Wow. This book sounds melodramatic as it starts off so, um, bloody. But it also sounds like it might be humorous. Is it?
Not too humorous but lots of craziness!
My bookmark collection is growing but like you they're just appearing. I'd love to collect Agatha Christie stuff!
That is some opener for The Naked Eye. Really grabs your attention. Yes, I would keep reading if I were in the mood for that type genre. I'm not always in the mood for it but it is a book I would read. As for your collection of bookish things, I keep bookmarks from the library, They always have creative and colorful bookmarks they give out at the checkout desk. Sometimes I write on the back of the bookmark to note particular good passages.
Oh those sound fun! I haven't really made an effort to collect bookmarks or other stuff but I'd really like too. This was a good book without to much gore which is nice.
This was my first book by her but I really liked it!
Wow, that's definitely an interesting beginning.
This one sounds so suspenseful...you probably can't stop turning those pages! Enjoy....and I do have a small collection of bookmarks received from authors....but I am trying to minimize my collections these days...LOL.
I definitely couldn't! I've stayed awake really late a few times thanks to this one!
Oh boy. I haven't read her for ages when she just wrote romances.
This was the first book by her that I've read. I really liked it!
This sounds intense! I've never read this author, but with this I might just have to start!
This was my first book by her but I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be looking for more!
The start scared me off, I do not do well with blood. Enjoy! Happy Friday!
There actually isn't too much just blood. There's a few scenes that are pretty bloody but not too many.
I'm on that same tour and am reading the two previous books in the series before this one. I've finished #1 and am working on #2 right now. I was not sure I liked Kendra in the first one, but she is growing on me. I suspect I will be a fan of hers by the time I get to this book soon.
And, I have a book room. When we built this house, we decided we'd each have an office. Mine is one of the bedrooms and I have all my books here, my reading chair corner, my desk, etc. It's an office/library that I love. You'll get yours one day and you'll love it!
I don't think I'd want to be friends with Kendra anytime soon but I did find her interesting.
I'm very excited about my reading room. It definitely makes the whole empty nest thing easier!
All that blood in the opening turns me off! And yet ... there's a morbid fascination too. I'd keep reading to see what's going on, but if it kept being bloody, I'd have to quit.
It sounds bloodier than the book actually is but it's definitely an intense read!
This is a new to me author and yes! ... Sorry, but I had to cheat and take a look at the synopsis, as I was so intrigued by your excerpts.
Blood and acid .. I really want to add ths one to my reading list, however I see that it is the third part of a series, so I am wondering if this is a series which needs to be read in chronological order, or if the books work as stand alone stories? Perhaps I should hedge my bets and go back to the beginning of the series, just to be on the safe side!
I love beautiful notebooks! I always like to look at them in the store but never buy them for some reason.
This was the first book I've read and I had no problem with it but if you have time I'd probably go back to the beginning. Apparently Kendra is a little harder to like in the first one though.
I love a good fluffy read especially this time of year!
I've read so many of her books. I keep a list so I don't grab one I already have when I'm in the book store! I don't have this one!
I've had authors were I've had to do that with. Such fun! I really liked this book. This was the first by her but it definitely won't be my last!
I haven't read Johansen in several years but I'm tempt4ed by this one. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.
LOL, I haven't tried this author, but have been in a bit of a thriller mood of late..I say go for it!
I collect books; that takes up a lot of space. I'm not sure I collect dragons, exactly, but I have several, including a stuffed one my daughter received in the hospital (she didn't take to him) and a cookie jar. And my little bookwyrm shelf-sitter, of course. There are a few others scattered around. I'm thinking of adding some more, but only ones I really love.
It is nice to have a room ONLY for books. Best of luck collecting when you get your room.
I usually don't collect bookish things.
I like the idea of a bookroom. :-) I haven't read anything by either Iris Johansen or Roy Johansen. I am glad to hear you enjoyed their book!

Over the past twelve months or so, we have seen a big shift in the public attitude towards new technology. More people are becoming aware of the potential abuses of data and other cool stuff. Scandals involving Facebook and other companies have been headline news.
Security professionals have been pushing the idea of security by design for ages, and the push to comply with GDPR has made a lot of people aware of privacy by design. Responsibility by design (RbD) represents a logical extension of these ideas to include a range of ethical issues around new technology.
Here are some examples of the technologies that might be covered by this.
Ethics is not just a question of bad intentions, it includes bad outcomes through misguided action. Here are some of the things we need to look at.
Unintended outcomes - including longer-term or social consequences. For example, platforms like Facebook and YouTube are designed to maximize engagement. The effect of this is to push people into progressively more extreme content in order to keep them on the platform for longer.
Neglected stakeholders - people or communities that may be indirectly disadvantaged - for example, a healthy politics that may be undermined by the extremism promoted by platforms such as Facebook and YouTube.
Outdated assumptions - we used to think that data was scarce, so we grabbed as much as we could and kept it for ever. We now recognize that data is a liability as well as an asset, and we now prefer data minimization - only collect and store data for a specific and valid purpose. A similar consideration applies to connectivity. We are starting to see the dangers of a proliferation of "always on" devices, especially given the weak security of the IoT world. So perhaps we need to replace a connectivity-maximization assumption with a connectivity minimization principle. There are doubtless other similar assumptions that need to be surfaced and challenged.
Responsibility break - potential for systems being taken over and controlled by less responsible stakeholders, or the chain of accountability being broken. This occurs when the original controls are not robust enough.
Irreversible change - systems that cannot be switched off when they are no longer providing the benefits and safeguards originally conceived.

Exclusive Jessica Rabbit Artist Interview - Tim Rogerson
As a rising star in the art world, Tim Rogerson casts his artwork with a very evident energy and passion, inspired by the works of Picasso and Matisse.
While studying at the prestigious Ringling School of Art and Design, Mr. Rogerson gained a reputation as an upcoming artist and influence in his own right. In 2009, Mr. Rogerson was named Official Artist for Disney's first ever D23 Expo where he created his most ambitious work to date, "In The Company of Legends," which now sits in the Disney vault as a piece of Disney history.
Learn more about Tim's unique style from the master himself, how he began to work for Disney, and why it took some time to get his first Jessica Rabbit piece approved.
ImNotBad:
Do you remember what inspired you to become an artist?
Tim Rogerson:
My Dad could draw Mickey really well when I was kid. He shared an office with Disney artist Don "Ducky" Williams and he taught my Dad how to draw the Fab 5. I thought it was the coolest thing ever that my Dad could draw Mickey and I would beg him at least 10 times a day to draw Mickey for me. Then, one day during my kindergarten class, it was parent work day and of course I told all the kids my Dad is better than your Dad because he can draw Mickey. And that brought on a "how to" draw Mickey lesson right there in class and that was the first time I ever wondered, could I draw Mickey to. Minutes later I had my blank sheet of paper with a #2 pencil drawing crooked circles and eventually I drew my very first Mickey. I've been hooked ever since!

INB:
As a child, which Disney film inspired you the most, and why?
Tim:
When I was 10 years old, I saw the making of the Lion King on the Wonderful World of Disney. It was the week before the film was released in theatres and I'd always been a big fan of Disney animated films. We had every VHS at home and I watched them religiously as I learned how to draw the characters. But I never knew the process of animation so watching this documentary, I'm instantly blown away that here's a job where I can draw and make cartoons at the same time. No joke, the next day I sent a letter to the animation studio asking for a job. And then, the next weekend, the epic Lion King film is released and it was AWESOME! From that moment, I couldn't wait to grow up and be a part of it!
What was your reaction to the film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and its characters?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of those films that every time I watch it, I'm more and more impressed with it. The film came out when I was 6 so I didn't fully understand what I was watching. I remember being terrified at the end with Judge Doom, those crazy eyes and the moment he's flattened to then get up and walk. Terrifying for a 6 yr old, but as I got older, I loved it more and more. Jessica Rabbit was just another cartoon character when I was 6 years old, but at 16, Jessica Rabbit was then hottest cartoon character ever drawn. And now, watching the film as an artist, it's one of the most impressive animated films of all time.
How did you start working for Disney?
It was the summer before I started Art School and I worked full time at Walt Disney World in the Main Street Gallery of the Magic Kingdom. It was a cool job for me because I got to stare at Disney fine art all day which is a total trip to think about because I now have my fine art hanging on those same walls and all those Disney artists who were my heroes are now great friends. And during that summer, we had a signing event at the gallery with Disney legend, Ralph Kent, who was a Animator, Imagineer, and currently was senior artists at the Disney Design Group. I got to spend a few hours with him and I mentioned I was going to art school and hoped to work for Disney afterward in animation. He then put me on the spot and asked me to draw for him. So nervously with my hands shaking, I drew Mickey and to my disbelief, it was the best Mickey I've ever drawn, and so, Ralph was very impressed. He then invited me up to the Disney Design Group and he set me up with a part-time art job at Disney as a character show artist, where I sat in the Disney galleries behind an animation desk and drew Disney characters all day long. And I did that for four years on the weekends while I went to Art school. It was the perfect set up for me to get better at drawing Disney characters and meet all the right people.
What was the first piece you created for Disney?
When I met the directors of Disney Fine Art, they really liked this small painting I did of Mickey with tons of bold bright colors. At that time, they only published artists who had rich history with Disney like Peter Ellenshaw and James Coleman, or artists who were very successful in the fine art industry. So for me, this 19 yr old art student, didn't seem like a possibility, but I went for it anyway. They asked me to recreate that small Mickey on a larger scale as a test to see if it works. Instead I painted 5pieces of the whole Fab 5; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. I shipped all 5 paintings to them on a Wednesday, and by Friday, all the directors flew back to Orlando from LA with a publishing deal in hand.
How did the idea to create Jessica Rabbit artwork come about?
I've painted Jessica Rabbit twice so far. The first piece was years ago and was inspired by a Jazz piece I had painted of a sexy singer. Right away, I knew I had to do a Disney piece with Jessica Rabbit. And the funny thing was Disney didn't approve the piece for the longest time because it was too sexy. I remember arguing, that's the point, that's why Jessica Rabbit exists. Finally, it was approved and published, and has been a huge hit in the galleries. I've even seen tattoos of that piece. What a compliment for someone to permanently ink your art on their body.
How long did it take to create your latest Roger and Jessica Rabbit artwork?
The latest Roger and Jessica piece took about a week from sketch to finished painting. I'd always wanted to do a piece with Roger and Jessica together and I finally found the time to do it. My style of painting has evolved over the years and about 3 years ago I painted a piece called "Micasso" which changed my style completely. It's much more of cubist inspired style which really magnifies curves and shapes. Perfect for Jessica Rabbit!
Can you describe the process and inspiration for it?
The first part of my process is always the sketch, making sure everything fits together in the most interesting way and looks awesome in black & white. After the drawing is completed, I then transfer that drawing to canvas where I begin painting in oils. The way that I paint is kind of like sculpting where I'd paint a base color first and will then carve out the darks and lights, going back and forth till it works.
What seems to be the real opinion at Disney of the Jessica Rabbit character?
She's definitely a sex icon like Marilyn Monroe. Everyone knows that, especially Disney. But it's a tricky thing for Disney because it's a family friendly company. When you walk around all the artists studios at Disney, you'll always find a sexy Jessica Rabbit drawing on the walls.
What are some of your favorite pieces that you have ever created?
"Micasso" was a big painting for me because I had a bit of a painter's block for a couple months where I didn't know where to go next with my Disney art. I knew something was missing and my Disney art wasn't challenging me as an artist. I then saw this documentary on Picasso and was totally inspired by the Cubist movement. Micasso was born minutes later and I've been ROCKIN' ever since. I feel my biggest accomplishment was "In the Company of Legends" which was the official art for the first ever D23 Expo back in 2009. It was a huge honor to be chosen by Disney to do this and freaked out right away after a conference call with 20 directors who all wanted their own thing in the art. I made this giant list of all the directors wants and then somehow, put it all together in this epic composition that came out so great. The painting Gods were with me for that project. The original oil painting actually sits in the Disney archives so I officially have a piece of Disney history. Pretty Cool!
Do you have any other Disney or Jessica Rabbit pieces in the works?
I'm always painting new Disney fine art and always looking forward to working with Jessica Rabbit again. I've been working on this huge collection where I want to paint every Disney film in the order of their release date. Each painting being filled with all the characters and story elements that make that film special. So far, I've painting Steamboat Willie, Snow White, Pinocchio, and currently working on the 1940 Fantasia. It'll be 10 years before I catch up to Tangled, but eventually I'll get to Who Framed Roger Rabbit and it'll be a big one filled with all the characters and story elements. It'll be the one to beat!

Space to help AgTech sector take off in SA
Strong space and defence industries in South Australia are helping the formation of a potentially nation-leading AgTech ecosystem.
Andrew Spence

Agricultural technology has been identified as a key factor if Australia is to achieve the National Farmers' Federation's goal of $100 billion annual agriculture production in Australia by 2030 from the current level of about $60 billion.
AgTech is a diverse industry ranging from the use of satellites to detect crop health through to robotics in meat processing and remote sensing to maximise water use efficiency.
Last month more than 300 people attended the inaugural AdvanceAg showcase at the Adelaide Showgrounds, prompting the South Australian Government to immediately commit to a second edition of the AgTech event next year.
Among those in attendance were BDO senior manager and AgTech lead Michael Macolino who said Australia and South Australia in particular had massive potential in the sector.
The global AgTech industry is led by the United States, Singapore and Israel but Macolino said there was great scope for growth in Australia.
"Australia is seen as a nation that can be leaders in AgTech because we have such a vast range of agricultural commodities, providing an ideal testing ground for different types of AgTech that can be exported around the world," he said.
"But one of the things that has held us back is we have an immature startup ecosystem compared to the US and these other places.
"If we have a look at South Australia, the reason why the state can take the lead in AgTech is we have complementary industries that are emerging."
SA has enjoyed significant space industry growth in the past three years, attracting investment from interstate and overseas as well as the Australian Space Agency, which is now headquarted at Lot Fourteen on North Terrace. It also has a long history in defence.
"The focus on the space industry is a massive enabler for AgTech in South Australia," Macolino said.
"A lot of the sensors that are being integrated into new satellites are really beneficial for collecting information on crop health, weather predictability and water management. All of that information can then be processed by third party software to provide insights for farmers – there's a huge correlation between the growth of space and the growth of AgTech in South Australia.
"In defence there are a lot of remote sensing technologies that are developed and those sensors and robotic technologies can be scaled down and applied in agriculture as well."
Thomas Foods International (TFI) is one of the state's largest food companies and Australia's largest 100 per cent family-owned meat processing company.
It has annual turnover of more than $2 billion, employs 3000 people globally and exports about 80 per cent of mainly beef and lamb production into 80 export markets. As well as being a traditional company in many ways, TFI is also prepared to experiment with new technologies and was one of the first companies to put fresh meat on Uber Eats in a bid to provide a half-way point between conventional takeaway and a home-cooked meal.
TFI managing director Darren Thomas spoke at the AdvanceAg conference and said AgTech was playing a huge role in the modernisation of his company from digitalisation of the supply chain through to food traceability and meat processing technology.
The company is building a world-class abattoir at Murray Bridge after its previous meatworks was destroyed by fire in 2018.
The new facility is set to include robotic precision cutting equipment, dual energy x-ray and an industry leading 3D scanner.
"We've got to constantly innovate and use technology: Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and machine vision are going to play a huge role in the business and we're just on the cusp in the meat processing sector of a huge productivity step," Thomas said.
"Out of all of the challenges that we've faced, it's (the fire's) given us one of the most amazing opportunities to do something quite unique. No one is building multi-species processing plants from scratch anywhere in the world now.
"South Australia has a great history of entrepreneurs, particularly in the agriculture sector so I'm incredibly excited about it."
Several South Australian companies are already enjoying some success in the AgTech space.
Glenelg-based Safe Ag Systems launched software in 2017 to help small farmers manage in an increasingly corporate industry following the harmonisation of Occupational Health & Safety laws in Australia. The cloud-based platform now has more than 600 customers and 4000 users across Australia and New Zealand. It is also being trialled in the United Kingdom.
Lot Fourteen-based satellite communications company Myriota has partnered with several agriculture equipment producers to connect devices in remote areas to the Internet of Things to allow real-time monitoring. Myriota's direct-to-orbit satellite network allows data from the IoT connected devices to be transmitted in remote areas without internet or mobile phone coverage.
Industry 4.0 is the name given to the 'fourth industrial revolution', which brings together physical technologies with digital technologies such as cloud processing and machine learning.
Macolino said the opportunities for AgTech were double-sided and included the chance to establish another layer of hi-tech industry while also improving the productivity of agriculture in Australia and around the world.
He said massive advances in Industry 4.0 technologies such as sensors, cloud processing, robotics and artificial intelligence in the past five years had allowed the rapid advancement of AgTech.
"These are all technologies that in themselves are marginally effective and can be applied to solving certain problems but agriculture is an industry that can really leverage these technologies when they are all stitched together to form one whole solution," he said.
"South Australia is well placed in many ways because a lot of the university research hubs are here – we've got the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, Tonsley advanced manufacturing district and the Waite campus.
"A lot of these industries can provide the talent and the infrastructure to mature those Industry 4.0 technologies and AgTech is about picking elements of those technologies and figuring how to bolt them all together to fix a problem in agriculture."
The state government used the AdvanceAg event to release its latest Primary Industries Scorecard, which showed primary industries and agribusiness sector generated a record $15.2 billion revenue in the 2018/19 financial year.
The scorecard showed significant growth in revenue in industries such as wool (up 19 per cent), horticulture (up 12 per cent), forestry (up 11 per cent) and wine (up six per cent).

Q: Not able to import Squeryl using SBT in a fresh service spawned from Scala's Play framework I am going through https://www.squeryl.org/download.html to figure out how to import Squeryl using SBT. There it is written to add just one line libraryDependencies += "org.squeryl" %% "squeryl" % "0.9.5-6" in the build.sbt.

Any kind of help whatsoever would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

A: The problem is that squeryl 0.9.5-6 was never released for Scala 2.13.
In such a case, just have a look at mvnrepository.com, searching for your artifact:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.squeryl/squeryl
The table tells you which version was published for Scala 2.13: 0.9.14

The 17th July marked the 20th Anniversary of the Bishop GmbH - Aeronautical Engineers based in Hamburg. The company has each year been and maintained profitability, and at the same time has invested in property and innovations. So what was the seed of the company ? Although the founder was alone Peter Bishop who founded the company in 1997, the roots in Aeronautics may well have been sown during the dark days of WWII in South England. His Father William George Frederick Bishop at 14 was obliged to work in the aircraft industry. His company was involved in manufacturing parts for military gliders. Sadley George died on 28. November 2016, a photograph has been recently unearthed of a young and handsome Bishop, probably taken in 1943 being presented to Great Britain Queen Mary. Queen Mary in herself was a remarkable person, and some of the positive attributes of the present Queen Elizabeth were greatly influenced and honed by Queen Mary. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_of_Teck Although George was more artistically inclined, his second oldest son Peter Bishop amply filled this vacuum with interest in the local defunct Miles Aircraft factory, and an interest in aeromodelling. At the same time, Peter Bishop was able to accompany the Apollo Space Program culminating in "man-on-the-moon", Concorde and the Space Shuttle. Today he runs Bishop GmbH, and owns and flies a fleet of vintage Miles Aircraft. It is little surprising that today, Peter Bishop recently flew the Lynx Rocket SpacePlane simulator at Mojave Airport in May 2017.

Watch Samuel L. Jackson Revive His 'Pulp Fiction' & 'Jurassic Park' Characters
Watch Samuel L. Jackson Revive His Pulp Fiction & Jurassic Park Characters
— March 9th, 2017
One of the regular features on The Late Late Show With James Corden is called Role Call, where the host will recreate a number of iconic scenes with his guest that evening. Earlier this week, the iconic Samuel L. Jackson appeared on the show, and being the good sport that he is, agreed to take part in that night's Role Call, where the actor revisited his beloved Jules Winnfield character from Quentin Tarantino's indie classic Pulp Fiction. Throughout this 11-minute video, the star revisited a number of his most indelible performances, with the help of some props, wigs and fake backdrops.
The 11-minute video was posted on The Late Late Show's YouTube page, which begins with Jules Winnfield's iconic Biblical speech, and has James Corden playing the role of John Travolta's Vincent Vega. They then quickly transition to another early scene in the film where Vincent Vega explains to Jules that a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese is called a Royale with Cheese, because of the metric system. After a quick costume change, they transition to another Quentin Tarantino classic, the 1997 Elmore Leonard adaptation Jackie Brown, with James Corden playing Robert De Niro's Louis Gara in a scene towards the end where Samuel L. Jackson's Ordell Robbie shoots and kills him.
This comprehensive video also covers the Shaft remake, the Kingsman: The Secret Service scene where his character Valentine kills Colin Firth's Harry Hart, a pivotal scene from The Negotiator, and even the brief scene in Goodfellas where his minor character Stacks Edwards is killed. The scenes involving guns are humorously handled with toy guns where a "Bang!" sign pops out of the barrel. This celebratory video even features his one memorable scene in 1988's Coming To America, where he plays a deranged man trying to rob the fast food restaurant Eddie Murphy's Akeem works at.

The video takes a hilarious turn around the four-minute mark, where Samuel L. Jackson revisits his Augustus Gibbons role from the original XXX, with James Corden trying to imitate Vin Diesel as the title character. Samuel L. Jackson can't help but break character when he hears James Corden's lackluster Vin Diesel impression. The video continues with his "Jesus/Hey Zeus" scene from Die Hard With a Vengeance, followed by his pivotal courtroom scene in A Time to Kill, a scene featuring his Mister Senor Love Daddy character from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, and even a live-action version of his The Incredibles character Fro-Zone. Those scenes represent merely the first half of this 11-minute video.
Other movies revisited in this video include a hilarious re-creation of his shark attack death in Deep Blue Sea, and even an interesting version of the upcoming Kong: Skull Island, which hits theaters tonight in sneak preview screenings. The video ends with scenes from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, all of his Marvel movies at once, and Soul Men. Take a look at this hilarious 11-minute video that pays tribute to the legendary career of Samuel L. Jackson.

VN-Eurasian trade surges

HÀ NỘI — During the first 10 months of the free trade agreement between Việt Nam and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), total trade turnover between the sides grew 32 per cent, with exports from Việt Nam to EAEU countries increasing 28 per cent.
The relatively balanced growth in exports and imports shows that the VN-EAEU agreement is built on the principle of equality and transparency, said Mukai A. Kadyrkulov, Member of the Board, Minister for Customs Cooperation, Eurasian Economic Commission, at an event on Thursday marking the pact's first anniversary.
Đặng Hoàng Hải, director of the European Market Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), agreed that the EAEU trade agreement has strongly promoted trade, investment and cooperation in many fields.
The VN-EAEU FTA has been a strong impetus for the development of economic and trade relations between its participants, and an important step towards a commercial partnership across the wider regions of ASEAN nations and the EU, said Konstantin Vnukov, Russian ambassador to Việt Nam.
Some businesses have found completely new markets with impressive growth, such as radio navigation equipment, the exported amount of which has increased more than 900 times from Việt Nam to EAEU countries, remarked Kadyrkulov.
He attributed the progress to the tariff reduction of 43 per cent for all Vietnamese goods. Over the next 10 years, the amount of duty-free imported goods from Việt Nam to the EAEU market will be constantly increasing and will account for 90 per cent of the latter's unified tariff schedules.
Vladimir Goshin, Belarusian Ambassador to Việt Nam, said trade turnover between Việt Nam and Belarus in the first eight months of 2017 showed a balanced bilateral exports and imports volume of around US$37 million. Goshin also noted that Vietnamese businesses are more active than ever in taking advantage of the preferential trade opportunities offered by the agreement to boost their exports.
Goshin said Belarus considers Việt Nam an important partner to strengthen its position in Southeast Asia.
The new Việt Nam-Belarus automobile manufacture and assemble joint venture, the Minsk Automobile Plant in Hưng Yên Province, is expected to begin operations by the end of the year, promoting cooperation to increase the localisation rate of products as well as technology transfer.
Nevertheless, Hải from the European Market Department noted that according to MoIT data, the number of businesses from both sides taking advantage of the FTA is roughly 20 to 30 per cent, due to differences in language, culture, taste, consumption habits, and said he hoped that over time, such difficulties would gradually be resolved.
The conference was held at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture in Hà Nội., with the participation of ambassadors from EAEU member states, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Việt Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and other nations' chambers of commerce in Việt Nam. — VNS

In the year 1979 some local devotees of Kachar (now changed to Hailakandi) district donated a house named 'Sri Radha Govinda Seva Ashram' to Gaudiya Mission.
Later on 11th November, 1981 the Ashram was rebuilt with a huge temple and converted to Sri Radha Govinda Gaudiya Math. It was inaugurated by the lotus hands of Bhakti Srirup Bhagbat Maharaj, secretary, Gaudiya Mission, to materialize the divine will under the guidance of the Srimad Bhakti Keval Audulomi Maharaj, the then Acharya of the Mission.The Deities were endowed with life by Srila Gurumaharaj at Kolkata, being unable to be present on the occasion due to his ill health, and sent them to the newly inaugurated Math.

Q: How to access Heroku from command line if directory has been deleted A little while ago the files on my Macbook Pro were deleted by Apple, including a directory from which I used to access Heroku and be able to do command line operations in the Ruby/Rails console.  Now that the directory is gone, I'm not sure if it's possible to access this repository from the command line, which I need to do to reduce the size of my database to stay within Heroku limits.
Update
before the directory was deleted on my mac, I used to simply cd into that directory and then run something like bundle exec heroku run console or heroku run bundle exec console, anyways if I did it from that directory heroku knew which application i was trying to access and it would take me into the rails console for it (where I could manipulate data)

A: *

*Install the Heroku toolbelt (it's unclear whether you still have that)

*From the terminal, perform a heroku login to authenticate

*From a directory where you want the new app to live, run heroku git:clone APP-NAME
You'll now have a directory, which will have the latest files you pushed to Heroku - which will allow you to do things like git push heroku master, or heroku run rails console.
You probably want to then also attach your git repo where you are storing your source code with something like git remote add origin git@github.com:whoyouare/app-name.git

A: From the Heroku docs:
You can also take an existing Git repo and add a remote using the git URL provided when you created your app. You may need to do this to associate a Git repo with an existing application. The heroku git:remote command will add this remote for you based on your applications git url.
$ heroku git:remote -a falling-wind-1624

This will add your Heroku repo with the remote name of heroku to your working directory.

Two new species of Werneria from Peru and re-circumscription of W. weberbaueriana (Compositae, Senecioneae)
Joel Calvo, Huber Trinidad, Hamilton Beltrán
Two new species of Werneria (Compositae, Senecioneae) are described from the highlands of central Peru on the basis of morphological evidence, namely W. huascarana and W. rockhauseniana. In addition, the misinterpreted taxonomic entity W. weberbaueriana is properly circumscribed according to the protologue. A neotype is designated for the name W. weberbaueriana. A key to the Werneria species occurring in the Peruvian department of Ancash is also presented. When data are certain, conservation status is assessed.

Two weeks ago I had the privilege of attending the RIE Conference and hearing Dr. Stuart Brown speak about Play. He spoke about the importance of play and different kinds of play, but the thing that stuck with me the most was how we have "play signals" that indicate to others that we are ready for fun, and that play is encouraged here and now. If you have ever attended a RIE Parent/Infant Guidance class you know that allowing the children to play is the whole point, but the facilitator and the parents pretty much sit back and stay out of it. RIE advocates that we trust children to be the initiators of play. RIE also encourages independent play, allowing the child to fully explore according to their own interests, capabilities, and desires. Even though Dr Brown and RIE both believed in the importance of play I wondered if this idea of "play signals" was compatible with RIE. So, I spent the last two weeks examining how, if, and when, I used play signals with my children, and at my school. Here is what I discovered.
I think those of us who are "good with children" are playful or frequently transmit play signals even when we don't think about it. That's kind of what children like about us. It's what lets them trust us a little.
There are things about my basic personality and my life that are play signals. I love to laugh. I gravitate towards funny people. I was lucky enough to find a very funny guy to marry and have four kids with. My children constantly amuse me. I guess what I'm saying is that there is a lot of joking around and good natured teasing at my house. Now, there are many different kinds of humor and I don't think some of them encourage play. Sarcasm for example doesn't make people feel free and creative. For the most part our joking is light and positive. I will admit that at times I have crossed the line with teasing that makes my kids upset rather than playful. Just the other day my son came in the kitchen and said "I'm hungry" and like I have many many times I said "Hi Hungry. I'm Mommy" and started to make him a snack. He looked at me very seriously and said, "I don't like it when you say that. It's not funny to me." I realize he felt like I wasn't taking his basic need very seriously and that it just wasn't funny. I told him I wouldn't say it again.
The other thing that there is a lot of at my house and at my work is singing and dancing. I think of this as a play signal. Again, I am more likely to be singing Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah rather than Lady in Red. I don't do it with the intent of getting people to sing or dance with me, but often that's what happens with kids. I just do it because I like to. It feels good to me and I think that is the play signal, it is ok to do fun stuff that you like in this place at this time.
One thing I noticed myself doing a lot at the toddler center was opening the door to something and then getting out of the way. For example: We have several cars that the children can get in and push themselves around in. So, occasionally a child will get in a car and say "Miss Melanie, I'm going." I will say "Have a good trip. See you later." The child may have just meant that they are moving in the car and they clearly know that they are not going somewhere away from the center, but what I said seems to have the affect of opening up possibility. They all seem to really like when I say it, and it often leads to imagination play that may not have happened. I'm not telling them to imagine that they are going somewhere. "I don't say have fun at Disneyland." I leave the rest up to them. They can accept my play signal or go another way, but clearly I am ok with them being imaginative.
Great Expectations -- This is another way I think I signal play. When a child calls me over to see a painting or a creations, I will say something like "What do we have here?" with the full expectation that this can't simply be three smudges of paint on a white sheet of paper. It clearly must be more. Often much, much more. If the children are building a ramp and it tips off its support blocks, I might say, "What's going to happen now?" That gives permission for endless possibilities. I don't fix their "problem," because there was no problem -- they were playing and something unexpected happened.
Most of what I have been talking about has to do with groups of children. In those cases I would much rather encourage the children to play with one another rather than with me. I try to get out of the way as much as possible. However, we as parents all want to play with our kids. Dr. Brown stressed the connection that happens when people play together. They sync up. Who doesn't want that with their kids? RIE advocates for parents to provide time for uninterrupted play for their children. No one who has studied RIE would ever suggest you don't play with your kids. There can be time for both. However, when we do play with our children I think we should give them the signals that we are ready and willing to follow their lead. Let them take us on a wonderful play journey.

Nebraska restaurant Dish incorporates Japanese flavors into its New American menu.
The Finer Points of Japanese Cuisine
In just a few decades, sushi has taken the U.S. by storm; now other specialties are following in its wake.
December 2019 Leigh Kunkel
"It takes time for people to get familiar with things," says Tatsu Aikawa, chef and owner of DipDipDip Tatsu-Ya, a hotpot restaurant in Austin, Texas. "Sushi took a long time. When I was dishwashing at a sushi bar back in the day, there were so many people that said, 'It's gross. I hate sushi.' That was only 20 years ago."
Aikawa, who lived in Japan until he was 10, is referring to the evolution of Japanese food in the U.S. In recent years, he says, American diners have become increasingly interested in other types of Japanese cooking. "Sushi became popular for the sheer shock value," Aikawa says. "There are a lot of underappreciated genres of cuisine that are common in Japan but haven't made it over here yet." Tatsu-Ya is among the many U.S. restaurants doing their best to shine a light on the country's lesser known foods and flavors.
Hotpot, known as shabu-shabu, centers around a pot of boiling water or broth into which diners cook meat and vegetables at their own table. Although the cuisine has been popular in Japan for decades, it is still a novelty in the U.S.
Izakayas, or casual Japanese pubs where people gather for drinks and snacks after work, are also gaining traction. In Chicago, the family-owned Izakaya Mita has been a mainstay since opening five years ago. Several of the restaurant's dishes are analogous to American bar food, like karaage, or fried chicken, and chicken meatballs, known as tsukune. But guests can also order more unusual offerings, like shishamo, which are broiled smelts eaten whole.
The Midwest as a whole has recently seen an increase in new Japanese cuisine. In St. Louis, chef Nick Bognar recently opened Indo, a Southeast Asian restaurant heavily influenced by his Japanese culinary training. Indo does serve familiar staples like tuna sashimi but is also pushing the boundaries of what diners might know.
"I'm hoping to only serve more obscure fish varieties in the future," Bognar says. "I love showing off different fish that guests may have not tried yet. Right now I'm really excited about iwashi, a Japanese sardine."
For this dish, Bognar bones the sardines with his fingers, then cures them in salt for several minutes, followed by a quick cure in sugar and a yuzu-vinegar marinade. The sardines are scored and then lightly torched to draw out the fats. Finally, the fish is brushed with a sweet soy sauce and topped with negidare—a scallion garlic paste. The restaurant also employs a fish-aging technique that has become more popular for sushi chefs in Japan but is relatively unknown in the U.S. It's just another way Indo is expanding its diners' conception of what sushi can be.
Traditional sushi restaurants, like Sushi Ran in Sausalito, California, which opened more than 30 years ago, are also finding that diners are becoming more interested in unusual techniques and ingredients. "I'm very excited that Japanese traditions like fermentation—we use it for miso, house-made soy sauce, and koji—are becoming more popular," says Sushi Ran restaurateur Yoshi Tome. "We use these every day, like for our shio koji [rice malt]–marinated teriyaki chicken."
Tome is also pleased that some of Japan's sustainable practices are now more widely adopted. "The farm-to-table concept is very popular right now in the U.S., but in Japan it has been standard practice for years and years," he says. "It's a more seasonal approach, which means the ingredients are at their peak."
At Austin's Tatsu-Ya, chef Aikawa has a similar approach. "There are lots of great local farms around here that provide proteins, and I combine those with a lot of seasonal vegetables," Aikawa says. "That's what makes shabu-shabu special to me. Since it's pretty much raw ingredients you're cooking yourself it makes sense to work with local farms and seasonal ingredients."
Many chefs who don't necessarily make Japanese food have nonetheless found themselves influenced by it. In Lincoln, Nebraska, Dish chef and co-owner Rachel McGill's New American menu is sprinkled with the flavors of Japan; the charred broccolini is served with black sesame salt and a miso-plum aioli, and the beet mochi is topped with a celery root and coffee ice cream.
"I'm heavily influenced by California coastal cuisine and seasonal availability here in Nebraska," McGill says. "Flavors like soy, kombu, and matcha show up frequently on West Coast menus and work well with seasonal Midwestern produce like sweet potatoes and kale."
McGill thinks Japanese food will continue to find a place on American menus of all sorts. She says the cuisine has been moved out of sushi restaurants and onto what would have previously been considered continental menus.
"New American chefs are embracing these flavors," she says. "I see a shift away from traditional French and Italian influences and an embrace of pan-Asian and New World cuisine."

The Staff Registrar Scheme (SRS) Diplomas have been implemented as part of the collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Singapore (MOH) to enable our public sector healthcare institutions to employ doctors who are not specialists but are able to provide a middle level of service equivalent to that provided by a Staff Registrar or Registrar.
Conducted as a structured diploma course with on-the-job training, the SRS accommodates:-
Medical Officers, who are Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with a basic medical degree recognized by Singapore Medical Council (SMC), intending to work for a longer period in public institutions and not planning to pursue a specialist career or becoming General Practitioners;
Applicants are required to be currently employed in a local Singapore institution/hospital for at least one year in the relevant departments.
Applicants who are enrolled into the SRS Diploma programmes would be required to have a training supervisor who is a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore.
The SRS Diplomas are under the purview of the Standing Committee on Postgraduate Education, Academy of Medicine, Singapore. There are currently 28 Diploma specialties approved by the Singapore Medical Council.

Arizona lawmakers block proposal for signs to discourage slow drivers in left lanes
Ryan Randazzo
A proposal to require signs every 50 miles reminding slow drivers to stay in the right lane on rural Arizona highways hit a major roadblock Wednesday.
The measure failed on a 4-3 vote in the House Appropriations Committee as Rep. Leo Biasiucci, R-Lake Havasu City, joined Democrats in opposing the bill.
"It is an issue that we want our drivers to be aware of that it is illegal not to move over," Biasiucci said, adding that he is concerned about transportation fees like the new $32 registration fee now in effect.
"So it's difficult for me to say that this is a justifiable expense," he told the committee. "Is it needed? Is it necessary? For me, the answer is no."
Rep. Bob Thorpe, R-Flagstaff, was the bill's primary sponsor. He said several people have told him they support the idea, and that he frequently sees dangerous situations on Interstate 17 between Flagstaff and Phoenix with slow vehicles in the left lane.
MORE:Bill would remind remind slow drivers to stay in their lane
"These signs are seen throughout Oklahoma and Texas and it seems to be a good idea as far as trying to remind people this is state law and not to impede the left lane," Thorpe said to the committee.
Thorpe wanted the state to spend $200,000 on the effort and to have the signs in place by 2022, with the Arizona Department of Transportation installing them as they conduct other maintenance work along the roads.
Arizona has about 10,500 miles of rural state highways, counting each mile in both directions, according to ADOT.
Thorpe said he approached ADOT about the idea and the 50-mile interval was the department's suggestion. So was keeping the signs to rural areas, he said.

Who is the biggest musician of all time?
After Beyoncé's landmark Coachella performance, a look back at the biggest musical stars ever. It's impossible to pick just one as the biggest, but fun to try.
Beyoncé, the first black woman to ever headline at the Coachella Festival, blew the place wide open in April with a jaw-dropping performance that had headline writers reaching for superlatives. Entertainment Weekly's Alex Suskind went with "Beyoncé's historic Coachella performance may be the best of all time." The YouTube live stream was watched by 41 million viewers in 232 countries, a new record for the platform. By all accounts, Beyoncé's show set a new standard for epic, and she's unquestionably the biggest star in the world these days. The "all time" claim is a big one, though, and makes you wonder about history's other stars, and who might've been the biggest of all time.
Today's stars, of course, are denizens of a pop culture that considers "all-time" to mean only as far back as rock recordings go, forsaking any earlier recording stars — too bad Enrico Caruso, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Les Paul and Mary Ford — not to mention all those who predated records and radio. And then there's the issue of the metric one uses. There are a lot of ways to look at it.
• having the largest audience?
• making the most money?
• selling the most recordings?
• selling the most concert tickets?
• having the most profound influence?
• being the biggest singer?
• being the biggest player?
• being the biggest composer?
And even going by income, it's dicey, since the richest musicians have numerous income streams, not all of them music-based, and they don't go out their way to offer details. The richest musician today? Andrew Lloyd Webber, of all people.
We imagine you're curious, so let's get these recent stars out of the way, right away.
Billboard's list only goes back to 1990.
Elvis Presley was called "The King" for a reason. According to his organization, from 1 to 1.5 billion people watched his live "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite" performance on January 4, 1973. Other estimates put it at a comparatively "modest" — but still unmatched — 400 to 500 million viewers (To put that in perspective, Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance was watched by 110 million). Therefore, Elvis's is the most watched performance ever.
This is totally subjective, though the historical significance impact of a performance over time may be more rationally assessed. Rolling Stone has a list of the 50 greatest shows of the past 50 years. It probably needs to be revised after Beyoncé's Coachella show.
Most popular song of all time?
Of course. "Happy Birthday," which has the melody from "Good Morning to All," written, perhaps, by Patty and Mildred H. Hill in 1893. Funnily enough, it wasn't fully and legally in public domain until 2016.
For these luminaries, it wasn't so much about money or massive audiences, but they were people about whom, as Stevie Wonder said, "time will not allow us to forget." Or at least shouldn't.
Superstardom in the past also went at times to the conductors of symphony orchestras, and the son of slaves de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) was a popular French conductor who premiered Haydn's Paris Symphonies. At that, he was even more famous as a French fencing champion!
Pft. Microphones. Who needs microphones?
Opera exploded across Europe in the 18th century, dominated by castrato singers such as Farinelli, AKA Carlo Maria Michelangelo Nicola Broschi. America's first opera house may have been New Orleans' Théâtre St. Pierre, which opened in 1792.
It's basically impossible to anoint a single "biggest." Each of the stars we've named, and any you can think of, are very much of their time. Each of those times is so different and has such unique standards for success, that trying to find a valid basis comparison for who is/was the biggest star is brain-busting. Fortunately, music itself doesn't care. It does its magic in us regardless of the star power behind it.
