General Motors' Earnings From Ventures in China Triple in 2003
March 16 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp., the world's largest automaker, said its profit from joint ventures in China more than tripled to $437 million last year as the company's market share in that nation increased.
Profit from the Chinese ventures, led by Shanghai General Motors, increased from $142 million in 2002, the automaker said in an annual report filed with U.S. regulators last week. The U.S. company also said its loss from affiliates in South Korea widened to $74 million from $45 million in 2002.
Market share in China rose to 8.5 percent last year from 7.8 percent the previous year and has more than doubled from 4.1 percent in 2001, Detroit-based General Motors said.
General Motors is counting on investments in China, which became the company's fourth-biggest vehicle market last year, and South Korea to help boost earnings to $10 a share by 2006. Profit from its Asia-Pacific vehicle operations last year rose threefold to $577 million while automotive income in North America, its biggest region, fell 73 percent to $811 million.
General Motors also said profit from ventures in Japan, where it owns stakes in Suzuki Motor Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., rose 47 percent to $196 million. Earnings from a powertrain joint venture with Italy's Fiat SpA increased 19 percent to $95 million, General Motors said.

Rundle: 'fuzzy-wuzzy' explained
When you earn at least a part of your living as a satirist, you get accustomed to being taken out of context, so that the ironic becomes literal and the sarcastic becomes sincere, writes Guy Rundle.
Guy Rundle,
When you earn at least a part of your living as that bizarre thing, a satirist, you get accustomed to being taken out of context, so that the ironic becomes literal and the sarcastic becomes sincere. Doubtless this was always so.
Animal Farm was rejected by Faber and Faber because "animal stories don't sell"; Donald Horne's phrase for a land lulled into complacency became the dopey triumphal "lucky country" cry of a thousand margarine ads; and quite possibly Jonathan Swift, after publishing "a modest proposal", had inquiries from publishers asking if he had sufficient baby recipes to make a book for the lucrative Christmas market.
Nevertheless, I thought I was on solid ground when I concluded a piece on the exchange of gifts between Barack Obama and Gordon Brown — universally seen as comical — with the sentence:
It's a funny old world … unless you're a fuzzy-wuzzy.
After all, I had preceded this with a tale of how Brown's gift to Obama of a Churchill biography seemed designed to insult the President with the hagiography of a man whose racist imperialism plunged Kenya into a decade of bloody war, which saw the death of 50,000 African Kenyans, many of them in concentration camps — where Obama's grandad spent some time. Crystal, no?
No. Not for Poison Pen in any case. In an entry yesterday, Jeremy Sear was bemused as to why I was reviving this archaic term, which apparently applied to the Hadoendoa tribe of Eastern Africa. He can only conclude:
It appears that Guy is using the term because of Obama's heritage (although it doesn't really fit, since the Hadendoa were not from Kenya), but I can't quite see why.
And heads the post "What next — golliwog?".
As the first commenter remarked — "It seems fairly obvious in context, Jeremy" — but apparently not, so let's explain it for the remedial kids (you're being kept in because of them).
The term "fuzzy-wuzzy" was less from East African field studies than from that searching post-colonial reflection '70s sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum, where the term was used, as it was by many British soldiers, for anyone east or south of Suez.
(sigh)
By using it, I was suggesting that the thoughtlessness of the Churchill biography gift made the gift-giving thing less funny for people who felt that their history was being ignored; i.e. that they were being treated with patronising disdain; i.e. IN THE SAME WAY AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED BY THE PEOPLE WHO CALLED THEM FUZZY-WUZZIES.
So the word applied to both the Africans, who had been oppressed, and to Obama insofar as Brown couldn't recognise that Churchill wasn't a hero to everyone.
To be fair, Jeremy contacted me to get my side of the story, effectively asking me to justify myself without offering an opinion of his own. My reply is irrelevant, except that the word "commissar" is in it. If Jeremy's going to set himself up as Crikey ombudsman, he needs counselling about his role.
There's a more general point here, of greater importance than irritation at the terminally obtuse. It's the habit, whether from left or right, of "gotcha" quoting, landing on a specific sentence or phrase entirely out of any context or style.
Since 9-11, the Right have done this with any remark on terrorism that is less than a hymn to the superior virtues of western civilisation, and the Zionist lobby do it with the "anti-semitism" tag. The Left used to be champions at it, killing meetings with endless discussions of whether the word "oppressed" was oppressive, etc etc, but I thought we'd mostly got out of this. Not the liberal-left it appears.

Newsweek agitates over Obama criticism
Re; Rundle: 'fuzzy-wuzzy' explained. Guy Rundle has obviously not heard of the "fuzzy-wuzzy angels" a term used for New Guinea natives by Australian troops in WWII. As a mark of respect for the wonderful job they did as guides and stretcher bearers. Which makes his use of the term in relation to Obama obtuse and offensive to me, a post WWII Australian officer who served in Papua and New Guinea.
The transference of the generic "FzyWzy" for anyone tinted to the locals in WWII PNG was just standard colonial terminology. Bear in mind how Oz came to be 'gifted' with PNG by the League of Nations after WWI.
I found Guy's piece completely intelligble and acceptable. Can it be true that our bien pissants are so historically ignorant…? (hint, rhetorical …)
Really Janis? A term was used to describe one group of people, so other uses of it can't be employed? Please. As to Brit sitcoms – you might be right. Cant find 'It Aint Half Hot Mum' on dvd for some reason. or Mind Your Language. And how come Zig and Zag dont appear any more? Kids loved them.
Sorry, I still thought it was unnecessary and tasteless.
And NOW he's having a go at the 'remedial kids'! – where will it end?!

NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore is pleased to present the exhibition Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works. The exhibition marks the culmination of the first cycle of SEA AiR—Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union (SEA AiR). As participating artists in the inaugural cycle of SEA AiR, Hoo Fan Chon (Malaysia), Citra Sasmita (Indonesia), and Vuth Lyno (Cambodia) have each been awarded a three-month-long residency at an art institution in Europe as well as funding for the creation of artworks. Stemming out of a year-long engagement, Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works is the outcome of a multifaceted process made of journeys and institutional collaborations, fieldwork and encounters, research and artmaking.
The residencies unfolded in Europe in the first half of 2022. In residence at HIAP—Helsinki International Artist Programme (Finland) from late February to late May, Hoo Fan Chon soon became fascinated by the salmon pink hue that adorns the facades of many buildings across Finland and its neighbouring countries. This chromatic cue tied in with the artist's ongoing interest in issues of taste, class, and fish culture—the son of a fisherman, fish-based imagery and foodscapes are often the subject of his work. Hoo Fan Chon's erratic investigation, imbued with a distinctive sense of irony, around the cosmetic processing of farmed salmon and the social status of salmon consumption as a signifier of class and wealth in Chinese culture resulted in a multimedia installation. How to turn your siakap into salmon is a video work, inspired by tutorials commonly found on YouTube, that illustrates DIY techniques to colour affordable fish in order to simulate a salmon-eating experience. The artist's first experiment with 3D animation, the installation I have never seen a swimming salmon in my life projects swimming salmon cuts onto an aquarium with a voiceover about the plights that threaten the survival of salmons. Finnish landscape painting series is a series of painterly interventions on found paintings where Chinese blessings and images of the proverbial "carp leaping over the dragon's gate" are inscribed onto landscape paintings that the artist sourced from thrift shops around Helsinki.
The artistic practice of Citra Sasmita revisits ancient Balinese mythologies and retools traditional artistic techniques and materials to address misconceptions that persist in contemporary society, especially with regard to the status of women. The residency at WIELS (Brussels, Belgium) from April to June enabled her to encounter and research the legacy of her ancestors held in European museum collections built during the colonial era by often dubious and unethical means. The installation Timur Merah Project VIII: Pilgrim, How You Journey revolves around the figure of I Dewa Agung Istri Kanya, a queen of the Klungkung kingdom in Bali, who fiercely opposed the Dutch colonisers in the 19th century. Ruled out from most historical accounts, the history of this charismatic woman leader is revived in Citra's powerful imagery and interspersed with scenes from the Bhima Swarga epic depicting the hero's journey between Heaven and Hell. Painted on traditional Kamasan canvases, the paintings are mounted on antique pillars arranged in an eight-pointed star configuration that references ancient Balinese cosmologies. The installation also comprises a double-channel video, the artist's first video work, in which a singer performs the poem Prelambang Bhasa Wewatekan (The Coded Language of Symbols), written by the Queen herself. Underneath the tantric symbolism of the poem secretly lurk the Queen's memoir, anti-Dutch propaganda messages, and military strategies.
Pursuing intersecting interests in architecture, the politics of space, and place-making practices, during the residency at Villa Arson (Nice, France) from March to May, Vuth Lyno had the opportunity to travel several times to the French capital and research the architectural remnants of the 1931 International Colonial Exposition which took place in the Bois de Vincennes, a forest park in Eastern Paris. He discovered that the former Cameroon Pavilion was turned into a Buddhist temple in the late 1970s. Following its conversion into a place of worship, the building and the surrounding greenery have come to play an important role in the spiritual, cultural, and social life of the Cambodian community in France. A migrant community's appropriation of a site previously used to display colonial (mis)representations of those very communities led the artist to develop a broader reflection on the role of urban parks as sites of refuge wherein minorities and marginalised groups (sex workers, queer communities, the homeless, etc.) can find emancipation and enact their agency. The resulting installation Vibrating Park-Forest ensues from a comparative study of heteronormative uses and grassroots practices that unfold in specific parks in Paris, Phnom Penh, and Singapore. Vibrating Park-Forest is the artist's first installation made of paper, a material he began to experiment with during his residency at Villa Arson.
On Wednesday, January 11, artists Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, and Vuth Lyno will participate in a joint talk to unravel their year-long journey from the residencies overseas to the development of their research and the creation of new works.
The exhibition is curated by Dr Anna Lovecchio, Assistant Director (Programmes), and NTU CCA Singapore. The project leader of SEA AiR is Ute Meta Bauer Founding Director, NTU CCA Singapore, and Professor, School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University.
SEA AiR—Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union is funded by the European Union.

Surrender yourself to the forces of love in four engaging Civil War Christmas romances. In 'Til Death Do Us Part by Lauralee Bliss - Join up with Leah Woods as she searches for her missing fiancé in Fredericksburg, Virginia. In Courage of the Heart by Tamela Hancock Murray - Stick to your guns with Arabella Lambert as she pledges her allegiance to pacifist Barry Birch, a man labeled a coward. In A Shelter in the Storm by Carrie Turansky - Ride out the storm with Rachel Thornton as she resists her attraction to the wounded artist-correspondent James Galloway. In Beloved Enemy by Vickie McDonough - Saddle up with Confederate-born Hannah McIntosh as she falls for Chris Haley, an embittered Union soldier. Can these couples forge an everlasting union in the tide of civil war?
A BLUE AND GRAY CHRISTMAS highlights the faith and courage of four couples who remained true to their convictions and found lasting love despite the hardships of war. Each story takes place in a different state and gives a unique look at how the Civil War affected a particular family. Christmas traditions of the time period and true historical eventes are integral in each story.
The Civil War stirred up great emotion, and both men and women were swept along in the tides of war. Men marched off to battle, but women also played a significant role in both the North and South. We wanted to highlight four couples and share their stories.


In Singapore, only the Powerstation Plus XL and Powerstation Plus are available.
The Powerstation Plus XL retails for S$139 while the Powerstation Plus retails for S$109.
Since I got the previous generation of Mophie Powerstation Plus (12,000mAh), for this generation, I decided to get a smaller capacity one which is the Mophie Powerstation Plus (6,000mAh).
One feature that is missing from the current generation is the integrated microUSB cable used to charge the Powerstation itself. The microUSB cable is now separate but it still comes in the package.
I still prefer the previous generation Powerstation Plus despite it being heavier and bulkier.
That is because it felt more solid and premium. Also the integrated microUSB cable is really a convenient way to charge the Powerstation.

Add the Carnation Evaporated Milk and bring to a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Make sure you keep stiring until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
Spoon onto a warm savoury pancake and serve with a sprinkle of black pepper and a fresh green salad.


"We can do that as long as I'm here," Sally answered.
I didn't check the expression on her face, whether it was joyful, eager- or baffled but gladly knelt down when the heavy metal doors were opened again, revealing the silent little host in its silver casing. Feelings of littleness and aggravation at my sins hit me full force. I really was no one and nothing compared to Our Almighty God who deigned to descend from heaven and dwell with us. I finished my prayers and remained kneeling on the floor for several minutes as love gently emanated from the small host, washing over everything like the sunlight, making cold places grow warm again. And at that moment, love was enough. He was enough.
Shuffling emerged behind us and glancing over my shoulder, I saw a man with sparse hair, glasses over his bright eyes and a white collar. Slung over his arm was a long, white garment. A priest! Rather flustered, he asked about the time of the Mass, explaining he got lost on the way to the church. Sally instantly sprang up to help him and followed him down the aisle. Hurriedly, not considering propriety, I closed the tabernacle, dropped upon one knee and said farewell to my Jesus, knowing I would see him again in just a few moments. My mind leaped and ran in circles as I absentmindedly followed them into the sacristy.
"Is there anything I can do?" I blurted out.
As she placed the round, golden container in my outstretched hands, I bowed down and closed my eyes like a samurai receiving his sword in some epic movie. I walked gingerly, like a chemist carrying concentrated acid. I shivered expectantly, like a young, virgin girl pregnant with the Savior of the world. The thing in my hands was infinitely more precious than gold, jewels, the finest spices, more weighty than the universe. Every instinct in me wanted to loudly start singing: "Pange lingua gloriosi." I sang it in my heart instead.
Many people talk about the vocation crisis in the Catholic Church. However, little changes are made in the ministry of local parishes which foster vocational growth. People, in short, fear changes, even if they will bring positive results. It is easier to assume what we've been doing for many years is good enough and can't actually be the root of the problem.
After hearing a visiting priest lament from the pulpit about our shortage of priestly vocations, I approached him and said that the solution was simple. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to hear what it was. This does reveal part of our problem: we spend a lot of time talking about how we don't have enough vocations and spend not enough time acting to encourage them. Do we not have enough time to sit down, ponder the Church's future and figure out how to best secure it?
1) Teach authentic Catholic doctrine.
The more people come to know the faith and God's love, the more they will fall in love with God and the faith. Presenting a way of life that is contrary to the shallow world sparks resonance with people- especially young people who are faced with meaninglessness and relativism. Authentic doctrine is not watered-down. It is not a bunch of moral platitudes but putting forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in and out of season. We can't be afraid to discuss the hard stuff, the reality of sin and of spiritual combat. Authentic Catholic teaching is what draws reverts and converts, who all have potential vocations. I have heard too many young adults complain that they are learning more on their own than in RCIA. They are hungering for the "meat and bones" but instead get fed spoonfuls of sugar. Beefing up our RCIA is a matter of investing in textbooks and teachers who are faithful to the Magisterium. renewing belief in the sacraments is a matter of encouraging their use. If the parish priest can, he might want to invest some extra time to hear confessions and teach on the meaning of this healing sacrament.
It is vital to reveal our faith as a life-changing reality- not just a path that is just as good as some other religion. The worst mistake we can make is to adopt a "I'm okay, you're okay" attitude. This is precisely what the world drills into our head and it's not what Christ preached. Christ preached a new way of live, turning your back on the world, rising towards union with God. Our faith has so many avenues of beautiful spiritualities: Franciscan. Benedictine, Dominican. Explore them rather then delving in what other religions practice. What Christ offers to us in the Catholic faith is the way, the truth and the life. People won't believe in something trivial and they certainly won't give their lives for it.
Priesthood, religious life, marriage. These don't tend to be popular sermon topics, being overlooked for the sake of teaching the basics. Vocations are the basics- they hold the Church up! Without priests, we have no Eucharist. It can't get more basic than that! How are people going to be interested if we never mention it? Priests and laypeople must work together to show how each of these vocations is so special. Lay people can make the mistake of viewing vocations as another career choice rather than a state of life in relation to God. Priests seldom speak from the pulpit about what inspired them to follow their calling- mentioning both the challenges and rewards of it. This all can be easily changed by raising awareness.
A best kept secret is that vocations are a sign on earth of the kingdom to come. Another best kept secret is the example of Mary. When Marian devotion declines, vocations decline. She, along with all the saints, has so much to tell us about living an authentic Catholic life. They lived life to the fullest and too often, their stories are hidden. Throughout history, saints have been inspired by reading the lives of other saints. Parish libraries that host helpful literature and books about the saints and vocations should be encouraged and if already existing, must be brought to attention. Young minds especially, are inspired by the saints.
Retreats for young people can also inspire them to think of vocations and get involved in ministry. They don't have to be held at special retreat centers. Try church lock ins, best with a night of perpetual adoration. Some of this stuff may sound intensive so start off slow. Start maybe with adoration once a week. Foster"Eucharistic awareness" where devotion to the blessed sacrament is practiced, explained and encouraged. It is God who calls us to a vocation therefore we should offer maximum opportunities for parishioners of all ages to sit silently and hear his voice.
The Eucharist, which is the "source and summit of Christian life" (CCC 1324) is often treated with little reverence. We make the mistake of stripping away the Mass, getting rid of what we deem to be mere "externals" without realizing they were there for a reason: to engage us with the greater mystery. Then people forget the awesome reality of what is taking place at Mass and eventually walk away. It is incredibly vital for young men to witness the awe and majesty of the liturgy, to see it as something sacred and meaningful. This prompts them to serve the altar, and this is where priestly vocations are most encouraged.
Reverent Masses foster belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, while Masses that are treated like social gatherings or concerts, diminish it greatly. Chances are a man will not marry a woman he isn't attracted to. If young men are not captivated by the beauty of the Mass, they will never become priests. The Church has a vast treasury of sacred music and moving traditions. Parishes should pull them out of the attic and put them to good use. This is why Vatican II encouraged the use of Gregorian chant (SC 6: 116). It provides a unique substance that people will return to time and time again. You can never go wrong by studying the documents of Vatican II, seeing what they actually called for and applying a principle of continuity to the Mass. Too many creative changes and rupture isn't good for vocations and it isn't good for anybody. The reason for such things may be to get people more involved in the Mass but what actually happens is confusion and overall loss of the Mass's meaning. What people look for in such a time of chaos and emptiness is reverence and peace. It is like water to thirsting souls.

ZAO Summer U.S. Tour w/ WOLF KING & HOLLOW EARTH
June 4, 2019 December 23, 2020
Long-running Pennsylvanian metallic post-hardcore band ZAO announce a summer tour run centering primarily in the mid-west region of the U.S.
Joining ZAO in support roles for the entire trek will be the Bay Area's abrasive WOLF KING and Detroit's devastating HOLLOW EARTH. The jaunt will launch in Columbus, Ohio on August 2nd and then wrap nearly two weeks later in Morgantown, West Virginia (all dates listed below).
WOLF KING
With origins dating back to 1993, ZAO is one of the longest-running and most enduring pioneers of the metalcore genre of aggressive heavy metal. Despite numerous lineup changes, inner turmoil, and ostracization from both the religious and secular music communities, ZAO has risen to the challenge and persevered time and time again.
Though identified as a Christian band by others during their earliest era, ZAO has gradually removed themselves from that designation over the years. They no longer consider the band to be such, but rather a group of open-minded artists, with guitarist Scott Mellinger going on record stating that ZAO "…would prefer to just be known as a metal band".
Alongside Mellinger in the current incarnation of ZAO are vocalist Dan Weyandt, guitarist Russ Cogdell, bassist Martin Lunn, and drummer Jeff Gretz. Earlier this year, the quintet released the two-song, 'Decoding Transmissions From The Möbius Strip' EP, included here.

Q: Warning in uploading build on iTunes Store
Missing recommended icon file - The bundle does not contain an app
  icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png
  format.

I am using xcode 4.6.3  and I am creating app for iOS 4.3 and above, till iOS 6.1, as there is no option for iOS 7 in xcode 4.6.3. But it is condition for iOS 7 to have icon of pixel '120* 120', then why it is showing warning for my app.
I do not have icon of pixel 120*120 . Is there any way to skip from this error. Please tell me the solution or Is it compulsory to add icon?

A: No, there is not way to skip this warning. If you build with the iOS 6 SDK you can still add the need icon, just add the 120x120  icon to the CFBundleIconFiles array in your info.plist.

A: Try to check Xcode version you are using, In Terminal run the following command
xcode-select -print-path

then try to check is this the Xcode 4.6.3 or below version if not change the path
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

where Xcode.app is Xcode 4.6.3 or below version Path.
after switching the xcode version try uploading, this may fix your problem
if you have beta version of XCode 5 then it gives warning

A: If you will remove this warning that will be in your own favor because from now onwards its era of iOS7. Your app will run on all devices . It is just a HD icon which will show on itunes. So Apple is suggesting you to make it happen by making little more effort. Resize your icon for retina in 120x120 from Here and add it in project.Update info.plist and then upload.
For updating info.plist refer to THIS Question On StackOverflow

A: Well, if you are uploading your binary from Xcode 4.6.3. You will definitely get this warning.
However Your app will not be rejected. I also got this warning from apple but my app was published. But it is highly recommended to add the required 120pixel icon .
You can do so by
Either update your Xcode to Xcode 5 and build your binary from there.
Or add 120 pixel icon file in .plist file of your application.

Peter Dinklage has finally weighed in on the divisive series finale of "Game of Thrones" , which left fans bemused due to the dark turn taken by the fan favourite character of Daenerys Targaryen. Showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have been under fire for below par script writing and poor portrayal of women in the final season of the epic fantasy HBO series, based on author George RR Martin's book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" .
In an interview with The New Yorker, the 50-year-old actor said he understands that people love the character, played by Emilia Clarke, but said the show's plotline was throughout hinting to where Daenerys was heading. "Well, everybody's always going to have an opinion, and that means an ownership. It's like breaking up with somebody. They get upset. I can't speak for everybody, but my feeling is they didn't want it to end, so a lot of people got angry. I feel like what Dave and Dan did was extraordinary.
"This happens. Monsters are created. And you don't see it coming. We vote them into office. You look the other way. So for everybody to get upset because they loved a character so much and they had so much faith in that person — there were signposts all along the way for that character," Dinklage said. He said Daenerys' transformation, from a righteous leader to a powerful autocrat, was "happening all along".
"It added up to something. There are people who've named their children Khaleesi. You've just got to maybe wait till the series finale before you get that tattoo or name your golden retriever Daenerys! "I can't help you! I'm sorry. She went mad. She was driven to that, and she's a victim as well in terms of how she was treated. She went through it, and she came out angry, as a lot of us do," Dinklage added.

Q: Typeorm entities not working with javascript I'm trying to create a project with typeorm with javascript, a connection works correctly, but typeorm can't find my entities.
I am following the example provided by the type documentation:
https://typeorm.io/#/usage-with-javascript
app.js:
typeorm.createConnection({
  type: 'mysql',
  host: process.env.MYSQL_IP, // Docker Env
  port: process.env.MYSQL_INTERNAL_PORT,
  username: process.env.MYSQL_ROOT_USERNAME,
  password: process.env.MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD,
  database: process.env.MYSQL_DATABASE,
  synchronize: true,
  entities: [
    require('./Model/TestSchema.js'),
  ],
}).then((connection) => {
  const app = express();

  app.use(cors(CorsConfigs));
  app.use(bodyParser.json());
  app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
  app.use(authentication);
  app.use(router);

  const testRepository = connection.getRepository('Category');
  const teste = { name: 'TypeScript' };

  app.listen(process.env.BACKEND_PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Rodando na porta: ${process.env.BACKEND_PORT.toString()}`);
  });
}).catch((error) => {
  console.log('Error: ', error);
});

Model/TestSchema.js:
module.exports = {
  name: 'Category',
  columns: {
    id: {
      primary: true,
      type: 'int',
      generated: true,
    },
    name: {
      type: 'string',
    },
  },
};

the connection is working correctly, the problem and when I run it shows me:
Error: RepositoryNotFoundError: No repository for "Category" was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current "default" connection?
at new RepositoryNotFoundError (/app/src/error/RepositoryNotFoundError.ts:11:9)
at EntityManager.getRepository (/app/src/entity-manager/EntityManager.ts:919:19)
at Connection.getRepository (/app/src/connection/Connection.ts:346:29)
at /app/src/app.js:32:37
at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

A: Maybe in
entities: [
  require('./Model/TestSchema.js'),
],

you need remove the .js extension on file path, smt like:
entities: [
  require('./Model/TestSchema'),
],

A: First, anyone who is using TypeOrm with javascript should read this article once, because in most places documentation is about how to use TypeOrm with typescript not javascript.
Abner, please change your TestSchema.js to this:
var EntitySchema = require("typeorm").EntitySchema;

module.exports = new EntitySchema({
  name: "Category",
  tableName: "Category",
  columns: {
    id: {
      primary: true,
      type: 'int',
      generated: true,
    },
    name: {
      type: 'string',
    },
  },
});


With so many Raspberry Pi projects to choose from, it can be tricky to find the one you really want to build. Our advice is to find a way to marry the Pi with something you really love. One great example is TV and movie robots — iconic characters from popular sci-fi that can be rebuild at home with a Raspberry Pi built in.
Once constructed, your robot might be able to utter commands when a condition is met (perhaps a sensor detects motion). Or it might move around, learning about its surroundings, or reading information to you from Wikipedia.
Whatever you have in mind, it should be relatively straightforward to plan and execute. It may take some time, however. Here are five example projects that show how you can combine a Raspberry Pi 2 5 Things Only a Raspberry Pi 2 Can Do 5 Things Only a Raspberry Pi 2 Can Do The latest edition of the pint-sized computer is awesome. So awesome, in fact, that there's 5 things you can only do on a Raspberry Pi 2. Read More or later with your favorite fictional robot.
We've all wanted our very own astromech droid, haven't we? Sure, no one on earth is (currently) operating a light speed drive, but Star Wars droid R2-D2 has far greater abilities than onboard spacecraft maintenance. For instance, he can hold torches, carry a tray of drinks, and launch lightsabers across pits in the desert.
Okay, it's unlikely you'll manage to get your own R2-D2 robot to do that… but don't let that put you off. Check out this little guy, controlled by a Raspberry Pi.
While this project was based on an existing R2-D2 toy, that shouldn't limit your ambition. You'll find plenty of R2-D2 builds on YouTube. There's a massive R2-D2 building community online. Finding one that has a drive unit should be ideal for integrating a Raspberry Pi (and perhaps an Arduino, which you can use the two together Arduino vs Raspberry Pi: Which Is The Mini Computer For You? Arduino vs Raspberry Pi: Which Is The Mini Computer For You? The Arduino and Raspberry Pi may look quite similar – they're both cute little circuit boards with some chips and pins on them – but they are in fact very different devices. Read More ) and developing a more realistic R2-D2 experience.
In short, this is the droid you're looking for.
Admittedly, Daleks are more cyborg than robot, as they have organic components (specifically, a brain), although some episodes of Doctor Who contradict this (it's been running since 1963 This Show Has Been Running 50 Years! Top 9 Websites About Doctor Who This Show Has Been Running 50 Years! Top 9 Websites About Doctor Who Doctor Who is a geeky TV show that has a very extensive catalog of information that spans over fifty years, and it would be foolish for anyone to say that they know everything about the... Read More , so such an oversight is understandable). But that's a trivial matter when it comes to the possibility of automating a toy or life-sized Dalek with the help of a Raspberry Pi!
Several projects can be found online that let you control a Dalek toy or self-built model with a Raspberry Pi. Our favorite is probably the RaspiMower, an accidental project whose developer started out building an automated lawnmower and ended up with an alien killing machine.
However, you'll find many more examples of what can be done. Here's a great video (without instructions, sadly) of a domeless Dalek head rotating, the eye stalk rising and lowering. This is made possible with a Raspberry Pi and some Python code.
Meanwhile, if you want to add some ring voice modulation (the technical name for the effect used on the actors who voice the Daleks), take a look at our guide to making sounds with Audacity 5 Amazing Sound FX You Can Easily Make Using Audacity 5 Amazing Sound FX You Can Easily Make Using Audacity You're not using Audacity to its full capability. The feature-strong application has a great selection of audio effects that can be used to add an extra dimension of polish to your audio projects. Read More .
Whatever approach you take, remember that Daleks cannot climb stairs without visual effects — or an elevator.
Classic 1980s TV show Knight Rider ostensibly starred David Hasselhoff, but all fans know that the real star was KITT. A computer fitted into a Trans Am sports car, the Knight Industries Two Thousand is essentially an AI smart computer. Think about the new car you've got sat outside, and the way the built in computer monitors everything. Knight Rider predicted this by around 20 years, personifying the development in KITT.
However, you might want to go one further. The AutoPi project combines Google Assistant with your car's OBD-II port, enabling you communicate with the onboard computer, via your Raspberry Pi. It won't take much to dress this up with the project above.
Admittedly, to make your robot build complete, you'll need a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. This slightly unlikely component shouldn't put you off, however. In the original series, KITT was transplanted (albeit temporarily) into other vehicles.
If all that seems a bit complicated, we have a tutorial on how to make your own LED scanner Make a Knight Rider LED Scanner with Arduino Make a Knight Rider LED Scanner with Arduino Ever wished you had your own Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT) car -- you know, from Knight Rider? Make your dream one step closer to reality by building an LED scanner! Read More with nothing more than an Arduino!
Perhaps the most notorious movie robot ever, Hal 9000 admittedly isn't the standard walking-taking robot. Rather, he's a sentient computer whose job is to look after the Discover One spacecraft in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
His role as antagonist in the movie, and his calm voice (thanks to actor Douglas Rain) has ingrained Hal 9000 in the minds of sci-fi lovers over the years. It's now possible to recreate Hal 9000 using modern materials and a Raspberry Pi computer. You'll find full details in this Instructable guide, but note that using Hal's original voice isn't possible. Several voices should be available to you, however.
Back to Doctor Who, now, and the perennially popular robot dog (it's in the name, geddit?) who traveled in the TARDIS from 1977-1981, and briefly returned in 2006, before switching to a spin-off show and finally getting his own 2010 TV series.
With a heavily retro look, several attempts have been made to build a K-9 replica with a Raspberry Pi at the heart.
The place to start, however, should be the project developed by IBM Distinguished Engineer Richard Hopkins. He's made his work available for you to use under The Unlicense terms, at k9-build.blogspot.co.uk.
As with Daleks and R2-D2, however, there are many building projects out there for K-9's exterior and drive unit. You might want to check these out before getting to work on the build and integrating the Raspberry Pi.
Why Not Build Them All?!
No, you're right: that's a bit ambitious. But hopefully it's helped you to focus your mind on the robot you should build. Whatever you're a fan of, there should be a movie or TV robot for you to build your own version of. Just make sure you keep a Raspberry Pi at the heart of the project!
Have you built your own R2-D2 or Dalek? Installed a KITT in your own Trans-Am? Travelling through time and space with your very own K-9? Or are you trapped in orbit around Jupiter with a conspiratorial sentient computer?

I suppose this went in parallel with a couple of other things; one, maybe the, I mean, the, the type of dilemma you described of, the, the trans- of not transplants but of, of renal dialysis, of new technology. So, suddenly doctors were revealed as being not quite sure what to do, which was perfectly reasonable and then other people beginning to realise that actually doctors-only deciding didn't quite make sense. Yes that's, that's quite true and another thing is of course that respect for doctors' status has absolutely no relation to our ability to do things. And if you look at, say, pre Second World War, the great lords of medicine who had to be called in before you had permission to die or get better, were people with almost no therapeutic options open to them. But they got huge status, they became lords and they got huge chunks of money but now we've got all these wonderful drugs and people think we're all terrible. It's rather strange, isn't it? I don't think they do actually because- but at the same time, it's- I, I think the, the idea of opening up the decision making is, is an extraordinary fascinating one because there has to be a limit to it, doesn't, doesn't there. At the same, if you feel that someone is, is dictating to you, nowadays we feel naturally we want to- Yes. Even politically, I mean, if we're told by the government- You must do that there's, there's a tendency for people to say- Well, hang on a bit, I don't think I want to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. There is a limit. There's a balance that- when you see the other extreme taking place now, a doctor saying- X% of this and Y% of that and you can do this and you can do that, you go and decide, talk to your husband or wife and decide; I think that's frankly ridiculous. I mean, the, the doctor ought to say to the patient how he sees the problem and although it's often denied that it's- it's often said that it's an unfair question for the patient to say to the doctor what would you do. I think it's a perfectly fair question. The only thing is the two positions do differ and I think the doctor's entitled to say- look, we're not in the same situation because, well, partly because I'm not feeling what you're feeling but partly for various other reasons but, as I understand the situation, if it was me I'd do this. It's not saying do this but it's- and, and I don't think the, that patients often do want guidance of that sort. They, there's that balance. They don't want to be said do this, do that, do the other but they do want to have a feeling of, of direction from the doctor because although we do all these attempts at, at explanation and discussion, as I said previously I think there's inevitable misunderstanding because of our concepts of disease and illness. Yes. And also the containment of anxiety, isn't it? Because, being faced with a big decision is, is, is- one has quite a lot of anxiety in that. If somebody else says- well, it's up to you what, what you do, that doesn't feel a helpful- I mean, some people talk about holding, which I think is quite a, quite a nice term in some way, that there is someone there who is on your side as it were, even, even if they're not actually telling you what to do. At least they're giving you some form of direction. Yeah, I do see that actually and, and I suppose another facet of that is if the situation's not too urgent. If, say, you know, you can't take all this in, go and have a chat about it and write down things you feel you can really sort out and then come back whenever and have another chat about it. I think it's very important. That, that seems to be a, a, a big lack in, in modern medical care is that ability to have a second bite at the cherry in terms of discussion. You know, it, because of time pressures most people don't get the chance to go away and think and come back at it in the same, same, same way which, at least that's my impression, that you don't have, whereas most of us for a decision would, would want to discuss, I don't know, with an estate agent and go away and think about it and come back or, or even with a car salesman or whatever decision we're making. There needs to be two, three attempts at it and, and it's even written into insurance, isn't it, that, you know, you've signed for insurance but you're given ten days in which you can change your mind and I, I think that that gradual process of decision-making is something that hasn't really been taken on by the system of, of medicine, that actually we ought to be saying there are always two or three consultations with someone who's taking a difficult decision in some ways. Yeah, I think that's absolutely right

Secrets to Football Success of FC Bayern Munich
Hungry for Victory The Secrets of FC Bayern Munich's Success
FC Bayern Munich already holds this year's German league title, and its drubbing of FC Barcelona puts the European championship just a match away. What makes this year's team so much more dominant than all its other star-studded predecessors?
By Sara Peschke in Barcelona
Sara Peschke
Mehr Artikel von Sara Peschke
Several of the over 95,000 FC Barcelona fans had already left in resignation when loud singing filled the enormous Camp Nou stadium in the Spanish city. "One can only lose against Bavaria," chanted the visiting Munich fans, and all who could understand the German cheer from the upper stands nodded in secret acknowledgement. By then, FC Bayern had shown its absolute dominance in two games against Barça in the semifinals of the Champions League tournament. And with the 7-0 cumulative victory came the question: If not FC Barcelona, the powerhouse team that has dominated European football for years, who could defeat FC Bayern Munich?
"We want to be the best team in the world," Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the chairman of Bayern Munich, had said before the second game. And now it would appear that his team is in the express lane to reaching that goal.
In Germany, Bayern captured the title of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier soccer league, in record time and with record figures. Now it awaits two final matches: the German Football Association (DFB) German Cup title match against VfB Stuttgart on June 1, and the Champions League title match against its Bundesliga rival Borussia Dortmund on May 25.
"The team has already made history today," Rummenigge said. But if FC Bayern succeeds in winning all three titles, it would be a first in the club's already storied 113-year history. Even during the golden years of players such as Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer, the team never enjoyed such a triple success.
Quality on the Bench
Indeed, even fans back home in Munich seem a bit puzzled by why things have gone so smoothly this season, given all the other star-studded squads the club has boasted in the past. "The good results are the upshot of hard work" DFB sports director Matthias Sammer matter-of-factly concluded after Wednesday's victory. But, one might ask, hasn't the team always worked hard? Additional insight was provided by Rummenigge, who has been with FC Bayern for some 30 years and knows the club better than almost anyone else. "I learned this year that a team is made up of 24 rather than just 11 players," he said, touching upon the team's much praised depth and the quality of its players all the way to the far end of the substitutes' bench.
Rummenigge also drew attention to what clearly sets this Bayern team apart from previous ones -- extraordinary team spirit. Of course, as always, trainer Jupp Heynckes has players whose individual performances make them stand out from the team as a whole. But these days he hardly has any player who makes a show of doing so. The team has rarely been so homogenous, with each player subordinating his individual desires to the shared mission of the team. And Heynckes has also told them in no uncertain terms that they should never be content with doing just what is necessary to win. Keep digging deeper. Never be satisfied.
In both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, this attitude can be seen most prominently when FC Bayern scores the first goal. Then there has to be another, and yet another. Indeed, Heynckes has transformed the natural competitive appetite of his players into a genuine hunger. None of them simply performs his duties with stoicism. Instead, each of them thinks and feels as part of a team and contributes as much as he can.
Focusing on What's Important
Of course, things haven't always been this way. "I still think about how crestfallen we were in Munich last year," Rummenigge said. But, he added, this year's "determined bunch" is different from the team that suffered a 3-4 loss on penalties in the 2012 Champions League final to Chelsea in Allianz Arena, Bayern's home stadium. Likewise, he said that, even with all of this year's successes, the club has stuck to water and never broken out the champagne. He admits to regretting the fact that earlier teams got caught up in celebrating victories rather than "thinking about the next game."
The concept is simple, yet hard to implement: concentrating on what's important and refusing to be sidetracked by any disruptive influences. But neither a supposedly invincible opponent such as FC Barcelona nor the tax-evasion scandal surrounding club president Uli Hoeness has been able to distract Heynckes' team from its focus.
Which brings back the question of which team could possibly beat Bayern. Will it be Borussia Dortmund? Naturally, the team doesn't seem particularly worried about the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium. "It doesn't matter who we play against," says Mario Mandzukic, the team's Croatian striker.
Thomas Müller, who plays as both a midfielder and forward and scored three goals in the two shut-out games against FC Barcelona, is somewhat more concrete. "I have a good feeling this time," the 23-year-old says with a grin. "After all, we won 7-0 against Barcelona. That hasn't happened that often in the last century."
Both teams in the Champions League final will be able to practice a bit already on Saturday, when Bavaria travels to Dortmund for a first-against-second-place Bundesliga match against Borussia. But, warns FC Bayern full back and team captain Philipp Lahm, one shouldn't view the match as a dress rehearsal for the Champions League final. "The Dortmunders celebrated yesterday, and we are celebrating today," he said. It's time for a bit of well-deserved fun, but then it's right back to business.

However don't forget until 1992 ,Bayern would not have qualified for this seasons competition as they were not champions in the national league last year .So I don't think it is fair to compare them with the teams from Bayern in the 1970s because the form had to continue for two seasons not one as is the case now. But I must point out to be honest I live in N.R.W. so my hopes go with Dortmund ,never the less well done Germany as a whole for having two attractive football to teams in the final ,I can hardly wait.

Bayern and Dortmund showed a new style of play (which is not new, it is recycled as everything in life) true to the traditional German flair: physical, fast, effective rather than imitating the Latin style, namely control and good treatment of the ball, quick and precise passes, change of rhythm and speed, but above all, control of the ball for as long as possible. The Germans did not trouble for not getting the ball, they waited patiently and stroke as a lightning precisely and effectively utilizing their speed and height. I still remember Bilardo questioned by Argentinian media about choosing "tristes" (sad) defenders to which he responded: " I do not mind SAD defenders as long as they are TALL…, we will need them against the Germans…", it was TRUE. History repeats itself…

Exclusive: Mediacom Asks FCC to Limit Retrans Blackouts
Mediacom is filing a petition with the FCC Tuesday asking it to prevent blackouts during retransmission consent disputes for any station that does not reach 90% of its market over-the-air or via the Web, which Mediacom suggests is most stations in its market and in the country.
What Mediacom wants most is some action out of the FCC on what it calls the "growing crisis" in retransmission consent and in response to various petitions and inquiries on the subject dating back years. Without some action to rein in retrans prices and blackouts, Mediacom says, all but the largest cable operators will have to:
• "Cease carrying broadcast stations that elect retransmission consent.
• "Get out of the video business altogether, which will necessarily require broadband customers to bear a larger share of network costs.
• "Raise the price of retail PayTV service to a level that is unaffordable for tens of millions of consumers."
In a letter to FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, Mediacom CEO Rocco Commisso pulled no punches, saying the FCC has engaged in a pattern of "malign neglect" when it comes to retrans disputes, which adversely affect consumers. Commisso points out that the FCC found authority to regulate broadband — under Title II, which Commisso and Mediacom strongly oppose — yet it can't find the authority to address retrans.
"Last year, you voiced concern because retransmission consent fees had grown 8,600 percent between 2005 and 2012. However, the Commission has done nothing to slow the drain on consumer pocketbooks," he said, according to a copy of the letter. The FCC, said Commisso, "has ignored Congress' unambiguously expressed intent to ensure that retransmission consent does not lead to blackouts or significantly increased costs to consumers."
"The reality is that millions of Americans cannot receive a quality off-air signal," Commisso said, and "our new petition does nothing more than ask the FCC to ensure that broadcasters keep their part of the bargain and further the congressional goal of promoting universal availability of free broadcast television."
"Mediacom proposes that the Commission amend its rules to condition a broadcast television station's license renewal on the station's certification that it will not terminate an MVPD's carriage of the station's signal upon the expiration of a retransmission consent agreement if the station is not accessible via over-the-air reception or Internet streaming to at least 90 percent of the homes in its local market served by the MVPD," the petition reads, according to a copy obtained by B&C.
"We serve primarily small towns and cities outside of the primary cities within most DMAs," said a Mediacom spokesperson.
"Off-air reception is actually a fairly big problem for the areas we serve. It is not something the Commission has focused on in recent years because 85%-90% of Americans get their broadcast signal through a cable, phone or satellite provider. With the increase in blackouts, consumers may need to turn back to over-the-air reception as an option."
Commisso signaled the FCC needed to be more hands-on in its approach.
"A refusal to become involved in specific disputes combined with an unwillingness to adopt corrective regulations add up to a do-nothing policy," he said in his letter to Wheeler. "I recently asked to meet with you during a blackout imposed by a broadcaster, only to have your staff tell me that your policy is to refrain from meeting with the parties to an ongoing retrans dispute. To my mind, that is a singularly misguided policy because you are refusing to get involved at the very time when consumers most need your help."
Commisso signaled that if the FCC does not act to rein in price increases, it could move companies like his away from offering traditional video product.
"Cable One in their proxy statement — they just went public — said they want to deemphasize video product. We may do the same thing, and other companies like us may do the same thing, which would mean less competition."
Commisso has been sounding the alarm about retrans for over a decade. He pointed out to Wheeler that there were no fewer than four open rulemakings relative to the TV marketplace that have not been acted on.
And while Commisso suggested that record indicated the latest Mediacom petition was a futile effort, the company was going to try again in the interests of getting the FCC to do something.
Commisso says in no other American industry, regulated or unregulated, have prices doubled every two or three years And while he asked Wheeler to act on the various petitions, he also said the FCC did not have to wait to take immediate action. He said his lawyers advised him the FCC could do all the following immediately:
1. "Eliminate network exclusivity.
2. "Require a cost-based justification for discriminatory retrans prices and terms, and mandate rate transparency so that distributors and consumers alike can make more informed decisions.
3. "Acknowledge that the voluminous records in pending retrans-related proceedings demonstrate that changes are needed and that the Commission has the requisite authority.
4. "Start the required good faith rule review without further delay and commit to propose within 120 days specific rule changes that will make a meaningful difference.
5. "Use your 'bully pulpit' to urge both broadcasters and MVPDs to accept a moratorium on broadcast blackouts and a 10% ceiling on price increases for renewals, pending the outcome of the good faith negotiation rulemaking proceeding."

"Speck" Brown dies at 71
Another well-known alum from the 1950s at Chadron High School has died.
Ronald Louis Brown died last Friday (2/19/10) at his home in Montgomery, Illinois, a suburban community just west of Chicago. He was 71 years old.
Ron was born in Chadron to Charles and Hazel Brown on March 21, 1938.
"Speck" was a four-year letterman in football and basketball during the mid-1950s at Chadron High and served as Vice-President of the Junior class in 1954-55. Long-time Chadron writer Con Marshall remembered that "All three Chadron basketball teams won district championships, but only Chadron High reached the state tournament. The Cardinals won the Class B district title by beating Bridgeport 69-38 after losing to the Bulldogs 67-66 the week before and downing Bayard 58-49 after falling to the Tigers 83-63 in February. Chadron then topped Valentine 55-54 in the regional playoff. Coached by Verne Lewellen, it was the Cards' first trip to state since 1933. At state, Hebron beat Chadron 56-50 as the Cards made just half of their 32 free throws."
A 1956 graduate of Chadron High School, "Speck" was among the handfull of varsity basketball players who also coached 5th and 6th graders, and he called his team the "Wildcats." Both "Speck" and his older brother Clayton were athletes and well known throughout the community. You'll find a Ron Brown in several of the photographs we've posted in our Chadron Public Schools Photo Gallery.
According to his obituary, Ron did a tour with Army Special Forces after high school. He later went to work in the automotive industry.
Ron Brown was preceded in death by his daughter, Valerie Nicholson; his sister, Ermel Brown; and his parents. He is survived by his wife, Beatrice, and children: Kimberly (Les) Fugate and Victor Davidson; four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Also surviving are his brother Clayton Brown and sister Marjorie Williams.
Read Ron Brown's obituary in the on-line Chadron Record.
Chadron women named Honorary Mayors
Every year, a fairly good-sized group of former Chadron area residents gather for a luncheon and get-together in Mesa, Arizona. Long-time friend and retired newspaper guy Mike Smith is a regular attendee of Chadron Area Reunions (CAR) and provided the Chadron Record with the following story. He has kindly allowed us to use the story on High Plains Almanac. You'll find additional photos from the event in our photo gallery for the Chadron Area Reunion.
Evelyn Roberts and Lois Christensen, Chadron residents until they retired to Arizona in the mid-1990s, were recognized Saturday, February 6, as "Honorary Mayors" of Chadron for the day for their decades-long contributions in the Chadron area.
Chadron Mayor Donald Grantham issued proclamations and certificates of appreciation for their service and good-neighbor achievements. The documents were presented – to their surprise – at the annual Chadron Area Reunion in Mesa, Arizona.
Mrs. Christensen was born in Chadron in 1919 and celebrated her 90th birthday December 27. She ranched with her late husband Franklin and family most of her life. Mrs. Roberts, now 95, moved to Chadron in 1928 as a youngster and ranched with her late husband Vic near the Christensens, 15 miles north of Chadron below the South Dakota border.
Family members attending were Mrs. Roberts' brother-in-law Bob Roberts and his wife Barb of Mesa, and Mrs. Christensen's son Ron Christensen and his wife Sonya, and her daughter Jerrie Roberts.
The reunion drew 37 former or current Chadron area residents.
The next day, Connie Rasmussen and Karen Pope of Chadron State College were hosts at a CSC reunion in Sun City, Arizona. Their event attracted 17. Mrs. Rasmussen is executive director of the Chadron State Foundation; Mrs. Pope is director of CSC Alumni and Giving.
Attending the Chadron State reunion:
Rich and Micki Seiwert, and Harold and Daisy Mundschenk, Sun City West, AZ; Marcella Warren, Peoria, AZ; Carl and Diane McManis, Goodyear, AZ; Fred and Delores Fisher, Surprise, AZ; Maria Daniels, Darrell Dedic, and Mike and Jo Smith, Sun City, AZ; Cash and Deanna Franklin, Gering, NE; and Connie Rasmussen and Karen Pope, Chadron.
Attending the Chadron Area Reunion:
Evelyn Roberts, Ron and Sonya Christensen, and Lois Christensen, Tempe, AZ; Bob and Barb Roberts, Clayton Luther, Wilma Quelle, Hank Reitz, Brian Wadsworth, Bill and DeeDee Smith, and Dick and Sharon Colacino, Mesa, AZ; Dorothy Gregson and Jack and Lora Miller, Apache Junction, AZ; Jerrie Roberts, and Larman and Olga Wilson, Phoenix, AZ; Ron and Cheryl Moody, Chandler, AZ; Joan Van Sant Shoop and Will Louis, and Harold and Daisy Mundschenk, Sun City West, AZ; Fred and Delores Fisher, Surprise, AZ; Mike and Jo Smith, Sun City, AZ; Harold and Norma Lee Perkins, Sidney, NE; Charles and Marge Finley, Sutton, NE; Caryle Colerich, Farmington, NM; and Connie Rasmussen and Karen Pope, Chadron.

No more delays in widening Highway 101
Editorials Topic
Henry Dubroff Author
By Henry Dubroff and Editorial board Friday, December 9th, 2016
Traffic backs up daily on Highway 101 through Montecito.
There they go again.
The no-growth crowd is crowing about a newly-released environmental impact report that shows a handful of intersections on Highway 101 will experience slowdowns after the highway is widened between Carpinteria and Montecito.
But to anybody who's been following the buzzing of political gadflies around the estimated $428 million project, the complaints are nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophesy.
The Montecito crowd has delayed and delayed the inevitable widening of Highway 101 for a 7-mile stretch through Carp and the Santa Barbara city line, wasting millions of dollars in commuter time, causing wrecks and, by the way, drastically increasing air pollution during rush hours.
Having held up construction for decades while gridlock got worse and worse, they're now complaining about the fact that even after spending $400 million or so, the problem won't be completely solved.
Let's put the blame where it belongs. First, the Montecito folks who insisted on years of delays are to blame because had the highway been widened years ago, traffic would have flowed smoothly until now.
Second, voters and elected officials in Santa Barbara County have caused the traffic mess because they refuse to permit enough housing. That means thousands of commuters are on the road every day between their homes in Ventura County and the South Coast, where the jobs are.
The bottom line is that Highway 101 is so clogged right now that the widening project in its current form can only relieve a portion of the congestion. But that's no reason to quit or give up. Let's get the project moving forward and eliminate the left exits that have bedeviled drivers for decades.
Ultimately it will take alternatives — more carpools, more bus options and definitely better rail connections — to take up more and more of the slack.
But the best alternative by far for now is simply to move some dirt and hope that incoming Congressman Salud Carbajal can persuade the feds to move the 101 widening to the top of the list for new infrastructure projects, if that opportunity arises in the new Congress.
Amid the drama of a world driven by Trump tweets and a news cycle that hasn't lost any of the election-year intensity, it's important to recognize that the holiday season is upon us.
Maybe amid the shopping frenzy and the rush to finish projects by yearend, it's worth taking a time out to appreciate friends, family, work colleagues and the wonderful environment we share on the Central Coast.
We're very fortunate to be stewards of terrific communities that are close-knit but also welcoming of strangers — and fabulous places to live, work and play.
Take a few minutes to reflect on this — it will make you calmer and stronger.

San Francisco – Secret Monuments of Downtown

San Francisco - Secret Monuments of Downtown
Discovering San Francisco's landmarks hidden in plain view
written by:Keane Li
Don't let the startup valuations and tech IPOs fool you; San Francisco is a city rich with history and monuments. Though Downtown San Francisco is perhaps the city's most modern neighborhood, monuments dating back to more rugged days can be found here if one knows where to look. These "hidden" monuments are often right in plain view, largely ignored as the mad rush shuffles up and down Market Street. With the right mindset, a whole universe of the past is unveiled offering humbling parallels to our current day.
Where to start your trek
Start inside the Ferry Building, where visitors compare the past and the present with displays that discuss the history of the transportation hub. From this flavor-filled marketplace, head down Market Street, keeping an eye out for large sculptures. You'll find the Mechanics Monument, dedicated in 1901, a statue that served as inspiration for those rebuilding the city in 1906; the Admission Day Monument, dedicated to California's admission to the Union in 1897; Lotta's Fountain, a gift from actress Lotta Crabtree to the city after the Great Quake; and, finally, Union Square with its column, the Dewey Monument, a commemoration to Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Hotel monuments
Many of the hotels offer an abundance of history as well. The Palace Hotel on Market was once the go-to dining spot for anyone who was anybody. The Westin St. Francis, located on the western edge of Union Square, is another notable mention. Head inside for historical displays in their main lobby. Up on Nob Hill and near Grace Cathedral sits the Fairmont San Francisco, slated for completion right when the Great Quake struck in 1906. Now, the hotel serves as a popular stay for notables like the Obama family.
Chinatown monuments
Just a few blocks away stands another of San Francisco's most historic quarters: Chinatown, a neighborhood worth mentioning on this itinerary due to its close proximity. Here you'll find the unmissable Old Saint Mary's Cathedral, built in 1853 and renovated in 1909. Nearby, Ross Alley provides a look into the quieter side of Chinatown; it's the oldest alley in San Francisco, once known for its brothels and gambling parlors. Today, you'll find only a few small shops here, most notably a fortune cookie factory where you can get custom cookies made. Finally, head to Portsmouth Square to uncover the former location of the Hall of Justice, where the city's lawmen once worked. It was here where the American flag was first raised in San Francisco. The memorial is marked next to a monument to Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson.
Plus more San Francisco Monuments
If all this still doesn't satisfy your fancy for history, more modern historical attractions can be found, such as Ruth Asawa's San Francisco Fountain outside the Grand Hyatt near Union Square. The artist included nearly every notable aspect of the city on her magnificent structure. At Yerba Buena Park, one can wander through a moving memorial to Martin Luther King, Jr. Enter the fountain and read a series of quotes from the great human rights leader. Nearby, the California Historical Society provides even more passageways into the depths of the city's rich history.

Samsung devices might in future incorporate support for ZigBee wireless technology - so your next Samsung Galaxy smartphone could directly control your automated home, Pocket-lint has been told by a source close to the matter.
The ZigBee Alliance has a set of standard protocols that pulls together the wireless control of various products, from lighting to switches, to heating controls, giving you smart home automation. The Philips Hue, for example, uses ZigBee.
Samsung is no stranger to ZigBee, having previously produced various ZigBee products as part of the alliance. Earlier in the year, Samsung announced a new line of ZigBee-compatible retrofit LED lightbulbs. Support for the standards, however, would mean that all control could be easily integrated into your device, rather than needing a separate remote, or a selection of different control apps: it could be a one-stop ZigBee shop.
And the information we've been given doesn't stop with Samsung. While Samsung's plans were confirmed, including its having considered a ZigBee accessory dongle to be first to market, we're also hearing that HTC is interested in taking control of your home.
The current HTC One offers IR control, but our source suggests that the real interest moving forward will be in RF4CE support, which is used in entertainment devices such as set-top particularly, partilcularly in the US.
There's also interest, we're told, in creating a new generation of "home smartphones". The concept here is that you'll be able to use the device as a regular phone, as well as a controller for all of your ZigBee-connected devices, rather than having a separate dumb phone and remote.
So it looks like the next battleground in the smartphone wars will be home automation, looking to make it even easier to control your smart home wirelessly from one device. There's currently no confirmation of timeline, but we'll keep you updated when we hear more.
