Boardwalk Upgrade Improves Marina Access on the River Shannon
Leitrim County Council has recently improved shoreside access to its Carrick on Shannon public marina, replacing its existing fixed boardwalk with a new 340m long by 2.4m wide floating walkway.
Working with Deane Public Works, Inland and Coastal Marina Systems (ICMS), designed and manufactured the new installation which includes a 3m wide fuel berth and eight access gangways with lifebuoy housings and safety ladders, all anchored in place by a new piled mooring system.
The heavy-duty pontoon system, topped with ICMS' unique glass-reinforced concrete (GRC) decking, provides safe and non-slip, all-year-round access to the marina's on-site facilities for the public and all leisure boat users, which includes local boat hire companies.
"Being a very popular cruising area, it was important that we completed the installation with as minimal disruption as possible to the local access," says Ger Buckley, project engineer at ICMS. "We achieved this by taking a phased approach, closely liaising with all contractors and programming the activities in."
Wrapping around the entire length of the marina site, the public boardwalk now connects the quayside to the access road and car park, allowing users to enter the marina via a new gangway on the eastern side, and exit on the northern side.
"We're delighted with the quality of the new boardwalk, an attractive upgrade to the waterfront providing a strong, stable walkway for visitors," says Shay O'Connor, senior engineer with Leitrim County Council. "Even though conditions were challenging at times with access routes being periodically submerged, the team at Inland and Coastal completed the installation efficiently and without disrupting the activities of the regular commercial users of the marina.
"The boardwalk will provide a new walking route along the waterfront for both locals and visitors and new access for users of leisure vessels which cruise along this section of the River Shannon, boosting the tourist industry which plays a major role here in Carrick on Shannon's economy."

Essential Diving Operations in Carrick-on-Shannon
Waterways Ireland advises masters of vessels that essential diving operations will take place on behalf of Leitrim County Council at Carrick-on-Shannon tomorrow, Monday 11 January, from 11am to 2pm.
Following on from dives scheduled for last month, locations of the diving operations are along the quay wall some 30 metres downstream and upstream of the bridge, and along the quay wall near the boat club.
Masters of vessels on the Shannon Navigation and all inland waterways users are requested to proceed with additional caution in the vicinity of these diving operations.
High Water Levels on Shannon Hit Rowing Clubs Hard
Rowing clubs along the Shannon have been badly affected by high water levels. Carrick on Shannon and Athlone have both been hit, while Castleconnell is flooded. This came despite pumping. The gym equipment had been moved out and the boats are stored higher up the bank.
This ESB at Ardnacrusha stated: "Due to heavy rainfall in the catchment we will be increasing discharge from Parteen Weir. You are being notified that water is about to be discharged above 325 m3/sec. This will result in flooding of roads, land and may affect property. You are advised to be aware of increased flows in the river as a result of this water discharge. Further increases in discharge may be required. Approx. 400 m3/sec will be discharged."

Shannon Blueway Launched with a Splash in Leitrim
#blueway – Minister Heather Humphreys TD, and actor & producer Carrie Crowley joined with over 300 walkers and paddlers to open the Shannon Blueway today in Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the Shannon Blueway runs from Drumshanbo through Battlebridge and Leitrim Village to Carrick on Shannon. It includes 16.5km of water trail and over 10km of walking routes in three loops. The Shannon Blueway provides a range of recreational leisure activities such as walking, cycling, canoeing, fishing and cruising all linked by the waterways to local towns and villages.
Minister Heather Humphrey's stated "I am delighted to be launching this project here in Leitrim today. The Shannon Blueway has the potential to have a very positive impact on jobs and the regional economy. The Mayo Greenway, which is now in its 4th year of operation, has seen a jump in visitor numbers from 80,000 in 2011 to 300,000 in 2014. That means an extra €5 million was brought into the region. With the market for off road adventure tourism is growing here in Ireland and internationally, Leitrim is in a prime position to benefit from this trend.
The launch of the Blueway will allow local businesses can capitalise on an increase in demand for transport, equipment hire, accommodation and entertainment. I would like to commend Waterways Ireland for this initiative, which I have no doubt will have a very position impact on the region."
Carrie Crowley said "as a self-confessed blow-in to the area, the Shannon, the wonderful countryside and Leitrim people have provided me with a tranquil and inspirational place to work and home away from home .The only problem is, now our secret is out!"
The Shannon Blueway is the first of its kind in Ireland where a myriad of recreational activities have been developed and bundled together as a single or multiple visitor experience and tourism proposition. Waterways Ireland has, using the wonderful waterway assets, developed and built a canoe trail from Drumshanbo through Battlebridge and Leitrim Village to Carrick on Shannon. It has also developed a series of looped walks adjacent to the Lough Allen Canal with plans to expand those walks to Drumshanbo and Carrick on Shannon. At the same time Waterways Ireland is also developing a canoe trail from Leitrim Village along the 63km of the Shannon Erne Waterway with a walking and cycling trail also at an advanced stage of planning.
The Shannon Blueway is being delivered by Waterways Ireland in partnership of the National Trails Office, Canoeing Ireland, Leitrim County Council, Leitrim Tourism and Fáilte Ireland.
Minister Heather Humphreys TD, and WI Chief Executive Dawn Livingstone
Chief Executive Dawn Livingstone confirmed that partnership was the key to delivering the Shannon Blueway "Waterways Ireland has invested significantly in creating world beating facilities and services on the Shannon Navigation. Through our partnership with the National Trails Office, Canoeing Ireland, Leitrim Tourism and Leitrim County Council an outstanding multi-activity product has been built in the Shannon Blueway which is now being packaged by clubs and communities for their recreational activities and companies and organisations for domestic and international tourists. Partnership is key to delivering the future of the Shannon Blueway further into Leitrim, and indeed into Roscommon, Longford and Cavan."
The wider Shannon Blueway of which the Drumshanbo to Carrick on Shannon section is part, is at the heart of access to 100km of paddling area, 6 looped walks: 3 of which are on the canal towpath, two long distance walks and three heritage trails. The Shannon Blueway will ultimately provide access to 14 towns and services with each access point and town within an hours' paddling time.
300 paddlers joined the ShannonBlueway launch
Waterways Ireland and Leitrim Co Co will shortly be examining the possibility of providing a connection from the jetties at Acres Lake to the canal towpaths and also to complete the walking/cycling connection to Carrick-on-Shannon, and up the Shannon-Erne Waterway.
If it's happening on Irish waters we're aiming to cover it. This page covers Angling, Canoeing, Fishing, Diving, Kayaking, Kitesurfing, Open Sea Swimming Surfing, Rowing and Waterskiing. It's pretty comprehensive but we're keen on expansion!
If you have ideas for our pages we'd love to hear from you. Please email us at [email protected]

End of Europe? Berlin, Brussels' shock tactic on migrants
Alastair Macdonald, Noah Barkin
BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - Is this how "Europe" ends?
Migrants queue to enter a tent that serves as a waiting room at the the Berlin Office of Health and Social Affairs (LAGESO), in Berlin, Germany, January 5, 2016. REUTERS/Hannibal Hanschke
The Germans, founders and funders of the postwar union, shut their borders to refugees in a bid for political survival by the chancellor who let in a million migrants. And then — why not? — they decide to revive the Deutschmark while they're at it.
That is not the fantasy of diehard Eurosceptics but a real fear articulated at the highest levels in Berlin and Brussels.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, her ratings hit by crimes blamed on asylum seekers at New Year parties in Cologne, and EU chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker both said as much last week.
Juncker echoed Merkel in warning that the central economic achievements of the common market and the euro are at risk from incoherent, nationalistic reactions to migration and other crises. He renewed warnings that Europe is on its "last chance", even if he still hoped it was not "at the beginning of the end".
Merkel, facing trouble among her conservative supporters as much as from opponents, called Europe "vulnerable" and the fate of the euro "directly linked" to resolving the migration crisis — highlighting the risk of at the very least serious economic turbulence if not a formal dismantling of EU institutions.
Some see that as mere scare tactics aimed at fellow Europeans by leaders with too much to lose from an EU collapse — Greeks and Italians have been seen to be dragging their feet over controlling the bloc's Mediterranean frontier and eastern Europeans who benefit from German subsidies and manufacturing supply chain jobs have led hostility to demands that they help take in refugees.
Germans are also getting little help from EU co-founder France, whose leaders fear a rising anti-immigrant National Front, or the bloc's third power, Britain, consumed with its own debate on whether to just quit the European club altogether.
So, empty threat or no, with efforts to engage Turkey's help showing little sign yet of preventing migrants reaching Greek beaches, German and EU officials are warning that without a sharp drop in arrivals or a change of heart in other EU states to relieve Berlin of the lonely task of housing refugees, Germany could shut its doors, sparking wider crisis this spring.
GERMAN WARNINGS
With Merkel's conservative allies in the southern frontier state of Bavaria demanding she halt the mainly Muslim asylum seekers ahead of tricky regional elections in March, her veteran finance minister delivered one of his trademark veiled threats to EU counterparts of what that could mean for them.
"Many think this is a German problem," Wolfgang Schaeuble said in meetings with fellow EU finance ministers in Brussels. "But if Germany does what everyone expects, then we'll see that it's not a German problem — but a European one."
Senior Merkel allies are working hard to stifle the kind of parliamentary party rebellion that threatened to derail bailouts which kept Greece in the euro zone last year. But pressure is mounting for national measures, such as border fences, which as a child of East Germany Merkel has said she cannot countenance.
"If you build a fence, it's the end of Europe as we know it," one senior conservative said. "We need to be patient."
A senior German official noted that time is running out, however.
"The chancellor has been asking her party for more time," he said. "But ... that narrative ... is losing the persuasiveness it may have had in October or November. If you add in the debate about Cologne, she faces an increasingly difficult situation."
He noted that arrivals had not fallen sharply over the winter months as had been expected.
"You can only imagine what happens when the weather improves," he said.
SCHENGEN FEARS
Merkel and Juncker explicitly linked new national frontier controls across Europe's passport-free Schengen zone to a collapse of the single market at the core of the bloc, and of the euro. Both would ravage jobs and the economy.
"Without Schengen ... the euro has no point," Juncker told a New Year news conference on Friday. Historic national resentments were re-emerging, he added, accusing his generation of EU leaders of squandering the legacy of the union's founders, survivors of World War Two.
Merkel has not suggested — yet — that Berlin could follow neighbors like Austria and Denmark in further tightening border checks to deny entry to irregular migrants. But she has made clear how Europe might suffer.
"No one can pretend that you can have a common currency without being able to cross borders relatively easily," she said at a business event last week.
In private, German officials are more explicit. "We have until March, the summer maybe, for a European solution," said a second German official. "Then Schengen goes down the drain."
A senior EU official was equally blunt: "There is a big risk that Germany closes. From that, no Schengen ... There is a risk that the February summit could start a countdown to the end."
The next summit of EU leaders one month from now follows meetings last year that were marked by agreement on a migration strategy as well as rows over failures to implement it.
Of the 160,000 asylum seekers EU leaders agreed in September to distribute among member states, fewer than 300 have been moved.
Berlin and Brussels continue to press for more distribution across Europe. But few place much hope in that — one senior German official calls it "flogging a dead horse".
TURKISH KEY
EU leaders' hope is for help from Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, a man many of them see as an embryonic dictator.
Berlin is pressing for more EU cash for Ankara, beyond an agreed 3 billion euros, which Italy is blocking. Some Germans suggest simply using German funds to stem the flow from Turkey.
EU officials say it is too early to panic. Arrivals have fallen this month. U.N. data show them running in January at half the 3,500 daily rate of December. Progress includes a move to let some of the 2.1 million Syrian refugees in Turkey take jobs. The EU will fund more schools for refugee children.
Yet EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos, who travels to Berlin on Monday, told the European Parliament last week: "The situation is getting worse."
The refugee crisis was jeopardizing "the very core of the European Union", he said, offering no grounds to be optimistic other than that "optimism is our last line of our defense".

Posters and petitions against the closure of public toilets which serve tourists using the popular NC500 route have been removed by Highland Council.
Campaigners fighting against the planned closures of the loos in north-west Sutherland were furious when they made the discovery.
Margaret Meek, a member of Kinlochbervie Community Council, said they and other community councils had put posters on the doors of toilets in Scourie, Rhiconich and its own village.
They had also put petitions inside for tourists and locals to sign. However, she said these had been removed without any prior notice.
The council earlier this year agreed to axe 29 public toilets across the Highlands and Islands during its budget discussions in a bid to make £338,000 savings.
They have offered communities the option to take over responsibility of the toilets but, if this was not taken up, they would close on August 31.
Ms Meek said: "We are aware that we placed notices on public property but didn't think that the signs would be removed since they were not commercial advertising.
"We feel that removing the signed petitions is outrageous. Highland Council represents the people of the Highlands, surely we have a democratic right to protest an unpopular decision.
"We placed the petitions in the toilets because we wanted to reach out, particularly to tourists.
She added: "Kinlochbervie has a population of only around 400 people. Local volunteers are already involved in developing plans and seeking funds for a football pitch, the village hall and the redevelopment of a derelict pier.
"A community group has only just completed the refurbishment of our local community-owned playground. We feel that we do not have any extra volunteer capacity or expertise to take on the toilets.
The three community councils in the area launched a petition in April and it has so far had more than 5,400 signatures.

Things To Do In Monaco
Monaco is a fascinating destination both for its historic and modern attractions. Start your visit with a walk through the medieval Monaco-Ville, or 'Le Rocher'. This is an entirely pedestrian area with a lot of historic houses and hotels. Nearby is the Palais Princier (Prince's Palace), where you can take audio-guided tours, and take in the awesome panoramic view of the port and Monte-Carlo. There is a changing of the guard ceremony in front of the palace every day at 11:55 am. The Monaco Cathedral is also in the vicinity. It was built in a Romanesque-Byzantine style in 1875, and it houses the remains of the previous Princes of Monaco and Princess Grace.
The Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium is considered the authoritative museum of Mediterranean and tropical marine ecosystems, and contains a jaw-dropping collection of marine life, models of laboratory ships, and more. In the basement of the museum, there are shows that visitors can watch that feature marine flora and fauna. Also not to be missed is the Jardin Exotique (Exotic Garden), with thousands of rare plants from around the world. The garden also offers guided cave tours.
No trip to Monaco is complete without stepping into the gold and marble Grand Casino of Monte Carlo. You need a passport to enter the premises, to prove that you are a foreigner; Monegasques, the citizens of Monaco, are not permitted to gamble or work at the casino. There are also fees to enter the various rooms, as well as a fee to enter the casino without gambling. The dress code is extremely strict: Men must wear coats and ties, and casual shoes are not permitted. Whether you gamble or not, it is worthwhile going into the casino just to look at the spectacular rooms, which are full of stained glass windows, paintings, and sculptures.
High-end shoppers will rejoice when they arrive on business class flights to Monaco, as this is one of the most exclusive and luxurious cities to shop in the world. Head to the Golden Circle, which is located within the Avenue Monte Carlo, Avenue des Beaux-Arts and Allées Lumières. Here you will find decadent brands such as Hermes, Christian Dior, Gucci, and Prada. Those seeking a special new accessory or two should head to Place du Casino for jewelers such as Bulgari, Cartier, and Chopard. Shops in Monaco are normally open from 9:00 am to12:00 pm, and then 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. To have a more 'local' shopping experience, head to the Condamine Market in the Place d'Armes, which has been an active market since the late 19th century, or to the pedestrian mall on Rue Princess Caroline.
Monegasque cuisine is heavily influenced by its location near the Mediterranean Sea and by its proximity to France. One of the national specialties is a dish called stocafi, made with dried cod, tomato and a delicate blend of seasonings. Fried, chard-stuffed barbagiuans are another must-try dish, as are the chickpea pancakes known as socca. For a truly memorable dining experience in Monaco, head to local favorites such as La Montgolfière, La Marée, or Café Llorca.
Getting Around Monaco
Those who travel on business class flights to Monaco will certainly wish to head to the water and take advantage of the popular yacht charters or sail boat tours that zip around the waterways and coast. The city is also known as a Mecca for luxurious cars such as Bentleys, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis, so another popular way to see the area is to rent a luxury car for the day. There are also many tourist trains that make daily tours of the city, and these are an efficient way to visit the port, Monte Carlo, the palaces, and the old city center. These tours are offered in many different languages and last approximately 30 minutes. Walking is a fantastic way to get around Monaco, however if you want to see some sights such as the Exotic Gardens, you will be walking up quite a steep hill. There are several public escalators and elevators there to help make it easier. There is also a ferry that runs across the port, so you can travel from one end to the other without needing to traverse the entirety of the city.
It's only fitting to travel on business class flights to Monaco, a city synonymous with exquisite luxury and glamour. Whether the purpose of your visit is for business or for pleasure, you will love the stylish and relaxing experience of flying business class to this top-notch destination. Nothing beats being treated to the highest-quality food, drink, and services, as you embark on an exclusive and unforgettable journey of a lifetime.

NEW DELHI, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Authorities deployed army in Darjeeling town of India's eastern state of West Bengal to contain spiralling violence, officials said Friday.
"Two columns of army were deployed in the restive Darjeeling town of West Bengal yesterday evening after Gorkha Janmukti Morcha supporters indulged in violence and arson adidas harden vol 2 australia ," an official said.
"The protesters set ablaze several police vehicles and tried to march to the venue where West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was chairing a cabinet meeting."
On Thursday, supporters of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha indulged in violence and arson in the town to oppose imposition of Bengali language in schools.
The young protesters threw stones and brickbats at government forces and torched security vehicles.
Reports said at least nine public vehicles, including six police vehicles and a state bus adidas crazy explosive australia , were torched, besides a traffic outpost.
Dozens of people including policemen were injured in the clashes, reports said.
Last month nike lebron soldier 12 australia , the local government in West Bengal made Bengali compulsory in all its schools, including privately-run English medium schools of the state.
The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha had upped its ante against the state government's decision over the past few days with rallies and street-corner meetings.
Banerjee reportedly clarified on Tuesday that Bengali would not be mandatory at schools in the hills and certain parts in Terai and the Dooars, but Gorkha Janmukti Morcha demands a formal cabinet announcement.

Sitll resonating with the acceleration of the car and the impact of the collision, the deformed construct evokes an image of gruesome beauty. In 1909, the first Futurist Manifesto celebrated "The Beauty of Speed". Exactly one hundred years later Dirk Skreber (* 1961) exhibits a car wreck, which as a metaphor of destruction can be read as a demonstration of the resurgence of energy through speed and of the cathartic impact of destruction itself. Indeed, it could serve as an early 21st century response to the stated aims of the Futurists. Yet the work also elicits a positive response from the visitor: Below in the hole, the human body is exposed to the full energy field of the Reaktor (in which the production energy, the velocity energy and the deformation energy are stored). In keeping with the artist's intention, viewers find themselves returning to daily reality in a reinvigorated, energetically-charged state.

Q: How do I insert field having default value in Slick Given mapping having NOT NULL field str with a default value:
case class Tst(id: Option[Int] = None, ii: Int, str: String)
class Tsts(tag: Tag) extends Table[Tst](tag, "tsts") {
  def id = column[Option[Int]]("id", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
  def ii = column[Int]("ii")
  def str = column[String]("str", O.Default("ddd"))
  def * = (id, ii, str) <> (Tst.tupled, Tst.unapply)
}

How do I insert object specifying the field value if I have it:
Tst(ii = 1, str = "aaa")

and skipping it if I don't:
Tst(ii = 1)

Yes, I know the last statement will not compile.
I tried using Option[String] and other things. It ends up with either inserting null or failing with can't be null error

A: The compiler depends on you putting default values at the end, like:
scala> case class TST(ii: Int, str: String = "aaa", id: Option[Int] = None)
defined class TST

scala> new TST(3)
res0: TST = TST(3,aaa,None)

Edit: Just realized I didn't answer completely:
scala> new TST(3, id = Some(1))
res1: TST = TST(3,aaa,Some(1))

scala> new TST(3, str = "bbb")
res2: TST = TST(3,bbb,None)

Despite the seasonal ban on fishing for Ilish during its breeding period having dramatically raised supply, prices of the fish have soared to new heights due to inclement weather. According to the Chittagong Fisheries Office, some 60 metric tons of the fish were netted last year. This year, the amount will cross 100 metric tons in Chittagong city alone. According to wholesalers, the abundant haul of Ilish had initially lowered prices of the fish to as low as Tk22,000 per maund from highs of Tk28,000 for larger specimens. However, as rain and severe weather curtails the efforts of suppliers in delivering the fish, the price of large Ilish has increased to Tk30-32,000 per maund. Similarly, the prices of medium and small varieties have gone up to Tk17-18,000 and Tk10-12,000 from Tk5,000 and Tk3,000 respectively. This increase in prices may prove to be temporary, considering the weather clears and Ilish continue to be caught at the current rate, the wholesalers added. There are a total of 2,400 registered fishermen in Chittagong. Of them, as many as 2,000 fishermen are involved in fishing for Ilish, said a source at the Chittagong Fisheries office. On a spot visit to Fishery Ghat in the port city on Friday, massive hauls of Ilish were seen being unloaded. Fishermen said this was a daily occurrence this year. "It is a matter of great joy for us that this time we are catching Ilish of bigger sizes. We usually supply the fish to over 50 markets of the city and 14 upazilas of the district," said Mohammad Ali, president of Sonali Mechanised Fishing Industry Cooperative Association. Kamal Uddin, assistant fisheries officer of Chittagong, said that the seasonal ban on fishing for the fish species triggered the increase in output. "With the help of district administration and law enforcing agencies, we successfully enforced the seasonal ban and it played a pivotal role in raising the output. Ilish fishing has risen significantly this year due to better management during the spawning season, intensified vigilance against catching, marketing and trading during the ban and increased frequency of drives against offenders," he said. "A single mother Ilish can spawn as many as 2.5 million eggs. The 65-day ban on fishing in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Bay of Bengal provided the sea fish an opportunity to replenish their population," the fisheries officer added. Fishing by commercial trawlers in the country's EEZ is prohibited from May 20 to July 23 every year. The government this year banned catching Ilish from March 1 until April 30 to allow proper breeding of fry. According to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Ilish contributes one percent to the total gross domestic production and 11 percent to the total fish production of the country. As per international research organisation World Fish, Bangladesh is the leading country in Ilish production with 65%, while India's contribution is 10-15% and Myanmar's is 8-10%.


Dr. Moon was hired by a criminal to transform a flabby, intelligent, and timid man into the perfect fighting machine. Moon implanted "hardened plastic shields" beneath Gork's skin to protect the most vulnerable parts of his body from physical attack, injected him with hormones that increased his size, strength and stamina, and severed his nerve-trunks to prevent him from recognizing pain impulses. Moon succeeded and he renamed the man "Gork," after the medical slang used to refer to vegetative or catatonic patients. At some point, Gork fought in the Metabrawl circuit. He was present when Green Arrow and Black Canary intervened in a cage match to extract Wildcat.


In most cases, sending an unsolicited demo to music companies is frowned upon, and the chances of it actually reaching anyone with influence is low. But once in a while, there is the story of a band obtaining a lucrative record deal by using that tactic. While Mexico City's Chikita Violenta was not seeking a glitzy record deal, the band has proven that sending unsolicited e-mails can lead down a fruitful road.
After releasing a self-produced album in 2003, the indie rock band, whose music is entirely in English, was hoping to collaborate with a respected producer for its sophomore album. At the time, professional recording studios in the band's home country were few and far between, and the options that did exist were outside of the band's budget. Being avid readers of the college rock-focused magazine, CMJ New Music Monthly, the guys of Chikita Violenta were inspired to follow in the footsteps of bands like Pavement, Sebadoh, and Sonic Youth. They researched ways to record outside of Mexico and launched an e-mail campaign directed at their favorite producers.
Canadian producer Dave Newfeld, who is known for his work with indie rock luminaries Broken Social Scene and The Most Serene Republic, was one of the people who replied to Chikita Violenta's e-mails. Newfeld and the band, which also consists of vocalist Luis Arce, guitarist Esteban Suarez, and bassist/keyboardist Armando David Ortigosa, quickly formed a friendship. The band spent about a year e-mailing Newfeld demos and receiving feedback before traveling to Toronto to record its sophomore album, The Stars And Suns Sessions, which was named after Newfeld's studio.
For Chikita Violenta's third album, TRE3S, which was released in January and is the band's first album to be distributed outside of Mexico, there was no doubt that the band would once again work with Newfeld, Velasco says. For a band with melodies and guitars that gush pure exhilaration, it makes sense that Chikita Violenta would want to continue working with someone like Newfeld, who has a way of making music soar with emotions that skyrocket and plunge.
While Mexico has its own prominent rock bands, the members of Chikita Violenta spent more time listening to music that was made outside of the country, Velasco says. Before daily downloads and blogging become a way of everyday life, the band relied on physical U.S. press to discover new indie rock bands. Each month, they would go to Tower Records and buy CMJ New Music Monthly. While Spin and Rolling Stone were also available, the band gravitated more towards CMJ because it catered to the indie crowd and included a sampler CD filled with new music.
Velasco acknowledges listening to popular Mexican rock bands like Caifanes, Café Tacvba and Molotov, but his music collection and that of his bandmates are dominated by '90s indie rock and classic rock of the U.S. and U.K. Considering that strong influence, it was natural for Chikita Violenta to create music with vocals in English.
A decade ago, it might have been surprising to hear a Mexican band sing solely in English, but with the internet making music more readily available, Velasco says it is no longer considered unusual. In the first few years of Chikita Violenta's career, there was some negative feedback from Mexican music fans regarding the English lyrics, but now backlash is rare. Even programming at major rock stations in Mexico now includes music in both Spanish and English.
With so many successful European bands coming out of France, Sweden, and Denmark that do not sing in their native language, Velasco is hopeful that Chikita Violenta will be accepted in the same manner.
Chikita Violenta has not only been embraced by music fans in Mexico, but has been getting a positive response in the U.S. as well. In addition to playing this year's SXSW, the band previously showcased the festival in 2008 and 2009. While TRE3S was first released last fall in the band's home country, through Arts & Crafts' office in Mexico City, it was then picked up to be distributed internationally by the main Arts & Crafts office in Canada. Velasco hopes that a wide release will help continue to blur cultural lines and encourage people's minds to open up even further.
The band's work on TRE3S has already started to eliminate geographical lines, as anybody who listens to the disc could easily confuse Chikita Violenta for a band from Brooklyn or Portland. The album has a starry-eyed feeling with bursts of wonder, creating a fresh sound similar to that of bands like Local Natives, Beach House, and more obviously, Broken Social Scene. They stay true to their '90s indie rock influences, with some added fuzzy and adrenaline-driven tones.
A new recording environment also played a big part in adding warmth to the new album. While Chikita Violenta once again worked with Newfeld on TRE3S, they skipped his downtown Toronto studio and instead helped christen a 19th Century church Newfeld purchased in eastern Ontario. The band loved playing around with all the different acoustics in the church, Velasco says. Depending on the type of effect that they wanted to achieve, some tracks were recorded in the main chapel for a bigger sound, and others were done in smaller halls and in the church basement.
According to Velasco, they had initially planned to record the entire album in one trip to Canada, but as new ideas started to flow in the studio and things came up in the band's schedule, they ended up spreading the work over three sessions. The three sessions gave the band the freedom to sit on the music and later take a listen with a fresh mindset. Since the band visited Newfeld just shortly after he bought the church, the band members helped arrange furniture and get other things in place, allowing them to focus on something other than the album. The first few days of the band's initial recording session were spent planting pine trees on the property.
The tree planting, the three recording sessions, and TRE3S being the band's third album all served as obvious inspiration for the album's title. Not only is that influence evident on the album name, but the sounds also reflects deep thoughts and the delightfulness of nature. The instrumentation on songs like "Roni," "All I Need's A Little More," and "Tired" is bright, and excitement is strongly heard in the vocals. Even though there were three separate recording sessions, the album flows effortlessly, and nothing sounds rushed.
Nonetheless, though some elements were produced spontaneously because the band and Newfeld worked without a strict timeline, Velasco admits there were some elements that required planning. Without a permanent drummer, Chikita Violenta had to consider hiring an additional studio musician. Besides singing, Arce also plays the drums and was able to lay down some tracks, but the band wanted a more seasoned studio drummer. Newfeld recruited Loel Campbell from Wintersleep and Tony Nesbitt-Larking from The Most Serene Republic. Likewise, after reviewing some recorded tracks, the band felt that female vocals would add a nice touch, and Newfeld called upon Broken Social Scene's Lisa Lobsinger for guest vocals. Indeed, her contributions on songs "Holiday" and "ATPG" intertwine smoothly with the band's music, like a soft, colorful rose growing in a garden.
After seeing everything come together for the album, Chikita Violenta was eager to get on the road in support of all the work, Velasco says. Even though the band had played at SXSW a couple of times, it never had a proper tour in the U.S. until last fall, when Chikita Violenta was booked as a supporting act on two U.S. tours. They first supported indie veterans Built To Spill — a band that Chikita Violenta have loved for years – and followed that with a tour supporting Ra Ra Riot.
Velasco notes some differences between the tours, such as the size of the venues and average age of the fans, but both were fantastic learning experiences. While rock music in Mexico is expanding, it is still hard for indie bands to tour around the country. Other than in major cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, people in Mexico are not accustomed to going to shows during the week. It is not like in the U.S., where on any given night an indie band can pack a venue in a random college town.
While Chikita Violenta have played countless of shows, touring in the U.S. was a completely new beast of an adventure. They were not used to the countless number of hours spent driving and the lack of healthy food on the road. The guys learned a lot from the other bands and kept a book of touring tips.
According to Velasco, one of their biggest discoveries was the hotel and air travel booking website, Priceline.com. At the beginning of their tour with Ra Ra Riot, they were spending a lot of money on hotels, until We Barbarians, another supporting act on the tour, clued them into the deals on Priceline. In addition, Built To Spill helped remedy the fast-food-blues by sharing their catering with Chikita Violenta and advising that they save it for the road. Ra Ra Riot's tactical contribution involved stocking up on healthy snacks at Whole Foods.
It is nice to learn that Chikita Violenta are still enthusiastic about new experiences even though they've been playing together for more than a decade and TRE3S is their third album. That positive attitude is making their future look bright, and the band members are more than willing to put in the required work to gain bigger recognition in Mexico and around the world. From recording in Canada to consistent showcases at SXSW and a spot at this year's Vive Latino, Mexico's biggest music festival, they are on the right track to having North America covered.

A Spirit-filled Christian who is also a skillful DELIVERANCE worker was constantly concerned about being overweight (from 20-40 pounds) for a number of years. No visible physical harm was produced by the condition but the nagging thoughts about it were always present and at times very annoying and depressing. She was usually in a state of much concern about her diet including daily intake of calories and yet desirous of eating well balanced meals. She experienced great difficulty in losing weight without taking extreme and possible harmful measures. She never fell prey to appetite suppressant medications. If she ate an ice cream cone or a piece of dessert, there was always an under current of guilt and condemnation.Many years earlier when this lady was 18 years of age, she entered into a short crash diet to loose 10 pounds in order that she could participate in a beauty contest. At that time she was not overweight but wanted to be more slender, thinking it would make her more attractive.Almost 30 years later while meditating one day, the thought occurred to her that there were three curses over her: 1) a curse of mental suggestion for overweight, 2) one of crash diets, and 3) one to lose weight to be beautiful. The curses were broken individually and demons behind each one were commanded to leave. There were manifestations of evil spirits being expelled.The CURSE OF MENTAL SUGGESTION involved constant thoughts about being overweight especially just prior to or at mealtimes. This curse was associated with anxiety, over-concern and worry about everything she ate and the possibility that food she consumed would cause her to gain more weight. As a result of this abnormal sensitivity, guilt and condemnation overeating were always present. Spirits of guilt and condemnation associated with overweight were commanded to leave. Again, there were manifestations.The CURSE OF CRASH DIETS may have come upon her when she participated in that ungodly diet at the age of 18. This curse was broken and spirits commanded to leave.The CURSE TO LOSE WEIGHT TO BECOME BEAUTIFUL apparently was associated with the crash diet. The curse was broken and evil spirits behind it were cast out.A strong, primary desire to become more pleasing and acceptable to others may be demonic and cause a curse to come upon a person. There are many more valid reasons why an overweight individual should gradually lose excess pounds and maintain a desirable weight. The motives must be Godly and the mechanism to achieve the proper weight should be acceptable to the Lord.One should seek God about the most desirable weight and ask His help in achieving it. Don't become persuaded by the current fads, which open doors for curses and demons to constantly torment and make life miserable, possibly for a lifetime.
Spirits of fatigue, fatigue unto death, tired, overtired, overtired unto death, weakness, and weakness unto death are very common demons. Physicians most often cannot identify the real source of the problem, consequently they experiment with different medications in an effort to relieve the patient of the embarrassing distress of constant drowsiness, tiredness, fatigue and sleepiness. Medications often further complicate things by producing adverse reactions that cause additional discomfort.
One lady, out of whom was cast a demon named fatigue unto death, called a couple weeks later and said she had not felt so energetic in many years. She was excited about being able to be active every day without the tired feeling. About two months after the demon was cast out she was still in a stage of exuberance, enjoying life in a dynamic, exciting manner. Praise the Lord. What a tremendous difference three minutes of DELIVERANCE can make for an individual! Within a short period of time, bondages can be broken, evil spirits cast out and valuable qualities of a person's life restored for many future years of pleasure and serving God.
Another lovely lady who worked a regular 40-hour week exclaimed she was "always tired" and had a strong drive to sleep excessively. A powerful demon named "over-tired unto death" was cast out.
The Lord wants his people to lead a God-ordained normal life with no demonic interference. If saints permit demons to usurp privileges Christ has given to His bride, then they may suffer and suffer exceedingly. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John 2). "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out demons,..." (Mark 16:17). Let us perform all the commission Christ gave us...and cast out demons. Much misery and suffering will be eliminated.
can be extremely distressful. Excessive vomiting can injure the body. Related problems such as sleep disorders, nervous conditions, strained and sore muscles may place undue stress upon an individual weakening that person emotionally and physically. There are times when vomiting may be very beneficial especially when harmful or poisonous substances have been ingested. However, inhabiting demons take full advantage of every opportunity to create a hazardous condition out of what would ordinarily be a useful body function. One person called for DELIVERANCE prayer for prolonged and intensive vomiting that necessitated hospitalization. Another individual vomited for seven weeks. One would obviously suspect demonic activity in cases like these. Nausea and vomiting during early phases of pregnancy may be due to evil spirits.
When DELIVERING an individual from these problems, have them repent of anything they may have done to precipitate a condition leading to upset stomach, vomiting, etc. Follow the typical procedures of removing protective mechanisms. Cast out the evil spirits and speak healing.
List of demons -- nausea, upset stomach, vomiting, vomiting without ceasing, vomiting until there is nothing left, vomiting unto death, vomiting weakness, drained by vomiting, dehydration, distorted sleep by vomiting, nervousness due to vomiting.
We ministered to a lovely Christian lady who, several years earlier, had surgery on one breast because of cancer. The spirit that was associated with the cancer was still present. We cast him out. Then, we challenged the demon of breast cancer in the other breast. He was there and we forced him out also. She was having no problems with the remaining breast, however, the infirmity spirit was there, apparently waiting to afflict it with cancer also.
Very happily, her husband assisted in the DELIVERANCE session. Praise the Lord for husbands who will minister DELIVERANCE to their wives and family.
When performing DELIVERANCE from breast cancer demons, be certain to cast spirits out of both breasts and speak healing to each of them."
A young Christian man had been having a problem with speeding and with minor traffic violations. For example, he would periodically make a wrong turn because he did not notice a traffic sign. He had been cited for some of these violations. We broke curses over him in these areas and cast out spirits of speeding, careless driver and traffic violations.
Additional spirits that are active in this category of daily living are: blocked concentration (of driver), roving mind, heavy foot, fear of making mistakes in driving, fear of getting caught by police, and others.
A lady had been using an underarm anti-perspirant and deodorant scented spray for about two weeks. A painful rash developed in her armpits. We cast out a spirit of anti-perspirant, pain, and probed for others without success. We spoke healing and within two days the problem had disappeared.
One may ask the question, "what gives the demons legal grounds to enter a person who uses an anti-perspirant?" (And by the way, not all people would be sensitive enough to receive anti-perspirant demons). The answer to the question is in the biology of the body and the interference with its proper functioning. Generally speaking, anything that adversely affects the Godly operation of any body part provides the necessary grounds for spirits to take up occupancy inside the individual or oppress from the outside.
Chemicals that inhibit or prevent the proper release of sweat through the sweat pores are harmful to the body. Anti-perspirants are included in this category of duct obstruction. Sweat glands associated with the coarse hair of the armpits (and pubic region) are larger and secrete fluid which is much thicker than that secreted by glands in other places of the body. Sweat contains many waste products that are eliminated from the body through perspiration, consequently SWEATING IS A NECESSARY BODILY FUNCTION FOR GOOD HEALTH. Blocking of the ducts causes the sweat and waste products to become trapped in the epidermis or dermis producing irritation, prickly heat, itching, severe itching, inflammation and other possible problems. Additionally, perspiring has a cooling effect upon the body. Sweat also acts as a lubricant.
During a DELIVERANCE session, a demon in one young man threw a small trash can across the room and then attempted to leave the sanctuary. The foul spirit dropped the person to his knees in obedience to the command, "I am not fighting you physically. I am fighting you spiritually and I bind you and command you to stop in the Name of JESUS." The demon immediately obeyed and exited when commanded to leave.
A middle-aged Christian lady and DELIVERANCE workers fought bravely against a well-entrenched demon named "fatigue unto death" who responded to the mention of his name from the pulpit. The angry spirit reluctantly left and she was freed from his torment. She recently called us and excitedly announced that she hardly knew what to do with all the energy she now had. What great joy!
A Spirit-filled individual who had used street drugs was freed of spirits named snorting coke, mainlining coke, shooting coke, lust for coke, free base coke and related demons. He was also DELIVERED from a very aggressive spirit of manic-depressive.
A daughter of Abraham experiencing body pain due to a medically diagnosed condition of degenerative arthritis requested prayer for this troublesome and weighty problem. Under pressure, a demon responded, "You can't cast me out. I'm behind an Indian curse." We broke the covering, forced out the arthritic spirits and spoke healing. She was surprised to learn about the inherited Indian curse, realizing that there was only a very small amount of Indian ancestry in her background. She had at many different times confessed any possible sins of resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, anger and hatred as a possible means of exposing the spirits of arthritis to attack. It was never effective. Praise the Lord for Biblical DELIVERANCE that significantly reduces medical bills and relieves emotional and physical pain.
Stubborn demons responded to names of medications such as aspirin, plain anacin, anacin-3, tylenol 1,2,3, midol, haldol, demerol, and many other common, easily obtained drugs.
A number of adverse side effects of medications were called out. Angry demons by these names manifested and left.
DELIVERANCE IS OPTIONAL. YOU MAY KEEP ALL YOUR DEMONS IF YOU WANT.

CITIZENS BANK OF ASHVILLE v. CAMERON & CO.
CITIZENS BANK OF ASHVILLE v. CAMERON & CO. et al.
District Court, S. D. Ohio, E. D.https://leagle.com/images/logo.png
James I. Boulger, of Columbus, Ohio, for plaintiff Ashville Bank.
Leslie R. Ulrich and Francis J. Amer (of Garfield, Cross, Daoust, Baldwin & Vrooman), both of Cleveland, Ohio, and Hugh M. Bennett, of Columbus, Ohio, for defendant Cameron & Co. and another.
District Court, S. D. Ohio, E. D.
UNDERWOOD, District Judge.
This is an action by the Citizens Bank of Ashville to recover against Cameron and Company for fraud in the sale of securities under the Ohio Securities Act, and against the National Surety Corporation, surety on the bond of Cameron & Company, on the bond of the latter filed in accordance with section 8624-20 of the Ohio General Code.
The action was begun in the Common Pleas Court of Franklin County, Ohio, and National Surety Corporation, a citizen of New York State, had the cause removed to this Court. Since the commencement of this action, Cameron and Company has been adjudged a bankrupt, and the only pleading or motion made by Cameron and Company, in this case, is the answer filed by its trustee in reorganization. The National City Bank of New York was made a third-party defendant by the National Surety Corporation but the complaint against the third-party defendant has been dismissed. A jury having been waived by the parties, the case is before the Court for determination upon the pleadings, stipulation of the parties, and the evidence.
Cameron and Company is an Illinois Corporation, with offices in New York, and is engaged in the sale of investment securities. It procured a license to sell securities in the state of Ohio under the Ohio Securities Act, section 8624-1 et seq., Ohio General Code, and in accordance with section 8624-20 of said Act made a bond in the sum of $10,000, payable to the state for the benefit of persons defrauded by the maker in the sale of securities. The National Surety Corporation is surety on the bond, and its liability arises on the nonpayment by the defendant, Cameron and Company, of all judgments rendered against it wherein it is found that a purchaser has been defrauded in the sale of securities by said Cameron and Company.
Prior to the acts giving rise to this cause, Cameron and Company had done business with the Ashville Bank whereby the former engaged to improve the investment portfolio of the latter by recommending that certain securities held by the Bank be exchanged for other securities which Cameron and Company selected. When an exchange was agreed upon, the Ashville Bank would send to its agent in New York, the National City Bank, the first group of securities with instructions to deliver them to Cameron and Company when it delivered to the National City Bank the second group of securities.
Such a transaction was initiated in November, 1933; the first group of bonds were shipped to the National City Bank with instructions to deliver them to Cameron and Company "against other bonds." On November 29, 1933, certain responsible officials of Cameron and Company, in a telephone conversation with the cashier of the Ashville Bank, urged that the instructions to the National City Bank be changed so as to permit Cameron and Company to obtain the securities on a trust receipt. When asked what effect the trust receipt would have on the security position of the bank, Cameron and Company assured the plaintiff that the protection afforded was the same as under the other arrangement, or equal to it. In reliance upon these representations, the instructions to the National City Bank were changed to conform to the wishes of Cameron and Company. It acquired possession of the securities by giving a trust receipt, and the transaction was thereafter completed to the satisfaction of both parties.
The plaintiff bank did not know the effect of a trust receipt, but relied on the representations of Cameron and Company. It believed that the latter could get the securities from the National City Bank only by depositing with that bank the other bonds to be exchanged, or by leaving other security. This belief was strengthened by the agent of Cameron and Company, H. R. Wilson, who, when asked by the cashier of the Ashville Bank what was the effect of the trust receipt, reiterated the statements previously made by the officials of Cameron and Company that the bank was amply protected.
On June 20, 1934, the Ashville Bank sent bonds of the face value of $20,000 to the National City Bank, to be delivered to Cameron and Company against a trust receipt, for which Cameron and Company was to exchange other bonds of face value of $20,000. Cameron and Company got possession of these bonds by giving a trust receipt, sent the Ashville Bank confirmation of the "sale," and, from time to time, thereafter informed the bank of the purchase for its account of the other securities, until July 13, 1934, when the bank was notified that the purchases on its behalf were "completed." The plaintiff bank, however, has neither received the bonds in exchange nor compensation for the bonds of the bank which Cameron and Company acquired.
Claiming that it has been defrauded of its property, the bank brought this action under the Ohio Securities Act to recover, and joined the National Surety Corporation as surety on the bond.
The National Surety Corporation contends that inasmuch as the bond is conditioned on the payment of judgments, it can not be made a party to the suit until a judgment is first separately had against Cameron and Company. It is conceded that if a judgment is rendered against Cameron and Company for fraud under the act, the National Surety Corporation is bound to pay under the bond, Rule 20 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723c permits the Court to join parties where "there is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative, any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences and if any question of law or fact common to all of them will arise in the action." There is but one set of facts involved in the instant case, and, to avoid multiplicity of suits, the Court has seen fit to permit a joinder of the parties.
Sections 8624-4 and 8624-17 of the Ohio General Code permit a dealer to sell securities to banks without first procuring a license and making bond. It is argued by the National Surety Corporation that the plaintiff, being a bank, is not protected by the bond inasmuch as the sale might have been made to it without the bond. This point was decided adversely by the Ohio Court of Appeals in Ross v. Couden, 22 Ohio App. 330, 154 N.E. 527, where the Court held that when a dealer secures a license by filing a bond, he goes to the public with a favored position, and he cannot afterward deny to purchasers the protection afforded by the bond because the sale might have been made without the bond. The same point is involved in this case that was decided in that one, i. e., what persons are protected by the bond, and, while the cases are not identical, they are so parallel that the Court feels that it is bound by the Ohio decision.
The chief contention of the National Surety Corporation is that this is an action for common law fraud, and, in order for the plaintiff bank to recover, it must show all the elements of that action. However, this is an action for fraud under the Ohio Securities Act. What constitutes fraud under that Act has been stated by the Ohio Court of Appeals in Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America v. Kircher, 47 Ohio App. 140, 191 N.E. 374. This Court is not free to make its own interpretation of the Act when a state court has already interpreted it; this Court is bound by the decision in the Kircher case. Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 58 S.Ct. 817, 82 L.Ed. 1188, 114 A.L.R. 1487; West et al. v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., 311 U.S. 223, 61 S.Ct. 179, 85 L.Ed. 139, 132 A.L.R. 956.
In Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America v. Kircher, supra, certain securities were delivered by Kircher to the local agent of Knapp and Co. to be exchanged for other securities. They were forwarded to the West Virginia office of the company where they were converted by Knapp and Co. In allowing recovery against the surety on the bond on the ground of fraud, the Court at page 143 of 47 Ohio App., at page 375 of 191 N.E., said: "We accordingly do not adopt the view that liability is limited to a case where false representations have been made, but hold that liability also arises in case a purchaser is in any other way defrauded by the broker in the sale of securities. That the plaintiff in this case was defrauded, under any definition of fraud, can hardly be disputed. All of his property was appropriated by the brokerage company to its own use." It is not denied that Cameron and Company did appropriate the bonds of the plaintiff bank; such wrongful conversion is fraud under the Ohio Securities Act as interpreted by the courts of Ohio.
A further contention is made by the defendants, that inasmuch as the transfer of the bonds occurred in the state of New York, the Ohio Act is not binding, it having no extraterritorial effect. As pointed out in the Kircher case, the purpose of the bond is to protect Ohio investors and it matters not where the final transfer is made.
The plaintiff Ashville Bank may recover against the defendant, Cameron and Company, the sum of $13,405.64, the market value of the bonds at the time of their wrongful appropriation, with interest at the rate of 6% from June 22, 1934; and against the defendant, National Surety Corporation, on the bond, in the sum of $10,000 with interest at 6% from the date of this judgment.
Entry accordingly.

Q: Why do my tokio tasks quit before finishing? The program below is supposed to print at regular intervals from multiple threads, but it is not working as I expected:
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "0.3", features = ["full"] }

use tokio::prelude::*; //0.3.4
use tokio::runtime::Builder;
use tokio::time::Duration;

fn main() {
    let rt = Builder::new_multi_thread()
        .enable_all()
        .thread_stack_size(3 * 1024 * 1024)
        .build()
        .unwrap();

    rt.block_on(async {
        tokio::spawn(print_thread(1));
        tokio::spawn(print_thread(2));
        tokio::spawn(print_thread(3));
        tokio::spawn(print_thread(4));
    });
}

async fn print_thread(thread_num: usize) {
    tokio::spawn(async move {
        println!("thread{}-start", thread_num);
        loop {
            tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000)).await;
            println!("thread{}-running", thread_num);
        }
        println!("thread{}-start", thread_num);
    });
}

When running this, I get:
$ cargo run
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.64s
     Running `target/debug/time_test`
thread1-start
thread2-start
thread3-start
thread4-start
$

I expected to see messages "threadN-running", but there is no further output. I don't know why the program suddenly quits. Can someone please tell me the cause?

A: The outer async block:
rt.block_on(async { ... })

does not join the spawned future, so it ends immediately after spawning it. This ends the block_on and also main, before the inner task has time to sleep and println!. The tasks are killed before they can finish executing.
You can solve this by wrapping the block_on in a never ending loop:
loop {
  rt.block_on(async {
    tokio::spawn(print_thread(1));
    tokio::spawn(print_thread(2));
    tokio::spawn(print_thread(3));
    tokio::spawn(print_thread(4));
  });
}

Now the tokio executor has all the time it needs to spawn the tasks, sleep, and print the messages to the console. However, this loop will be costly cpu wise. Another option is to use std::future::pending which was stabilized as of Rust 1.48. This will create a future which never resolves, representing a computation that never finishes:
rt.block_on(async {
 ...
});

std::future::pending().await;
unreachable!();

Also, as @AlexLarionov mentioned, you are actually spawning a task twice:
// 1st task
tokio::spawn(print_thread(1))

// 2nd task
async fn print_thread(thread_num: usize) {
    tokio::spawn(async move { ... });
}

This second spawn is unnecessary, and your print_thread function can be simplified to the following:
async fn print_thread(thread_num: usize) {
    println!("thread{}-start", thread_num);
    loop {
        tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000)).await;
        println!("thread{}-running", thread_num);
    }
    // Note that this is unreachable
    println!("thread{}-start", thread_num);
}

Note that for use case tokio::time::sleep is probably not the best option. To run something regularly on a schedule, you can use tokoi::time::interval:
async fn print_thread(thread_num: usize) {
    println!("thread{}-start", thread_num);
    let mut interval = tokio::time::interval(Duration::from_millis(100));
    loop {
      interval.tick().await;
      println!("thread{}-running", thread_num);
    }
}

Corban is an accredited member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Curriculum aligns with the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. The Master of Arts in Counseling also gained Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) approval.
Corban University Application Requirements
Devoting "Heart and Mind to God" in the Psychology Major at Corban University is moderately difficult with a 32 percent acceptance rate published on Peterson's. First-year Warriors must have graduated from licensed high schools, preferably with AP credit. Holding a 2.7 GPA is mandated, but the admitted average is 3.5. Freshmen need to score at least 980 on the SAT, 58 on the CLT, or 19 on the ACT. Transfers skipping this criterion need 31 semester or 47 quarter credits graded "C" or better from accredited colleges. The Master of Arts in Counseling only considers bachelor's grads with upper-division GPAs above 3.0. Above all, Corban requires a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and Christian values.
Corban University has established undergrad deadlines of August 1st for Fall, April 1st for Summer, and December 1st for Spring starts. Hopeful MAC cohorts can apply for early interviews by March 1st, but the final cutoff is May 1st. Applications can be filed online or by paper to 5000 Deer Park Drive SE in Salem, OR 97317.

Typed, 300-word faith statement

Official college entrance exams
One Christian character reference
At least one teacher recommendation
Declaring the Psychology Major (B.A./B.S.) will cost Corban undergrads $1,291 per credit or $15,490 each semester full-time. Online courses are reduced to only $420 per credit. Budgets should include the $330 student activity fee, $150 enrollment fee, $40 tech fee, and $25 Student Psychology Association fee. Living at the Willamette Valley campus' dorms like Aagard Hall adds $2,926 for room and $2,254 for board every semester. The annual cost of attendance equals $44,650 for residents and $34,590 for commuters. The Master of Arts in Counseling currently bills $520 per credit for an estimated total of $31,200.
According to the NCES College Navigator, 91 percent of full-time Corban Warriors share $23.3 million in annual financial aid packages that average $17,314. Psychology majors might qualify for institutional money, such as the Academic Scholarship, Achievement Scholarship, Alumni Scholarship, Christian Worker Dependent Grant, Sibling Grant, Visit Scholarship, and Honors Scholarship. Filing the FAFSA form with code 001339 by March 1st opens Federal Pell and FSEOG Grant funding.
