China, India tensions put Myanmar in the middle
India and Myanmar have built new strategic links as both seek to counter China's rising regional influence

CHIANG MAI – Flights out of Myanmar have been rare during the Covid-19 crisis, but there was a remarkable exception on May 14.
A special plane provided by the Myanmar military flew from the small town of Hkamti in Northern Sagaing Region to Imphal in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur and then on to Guwahati in Assam. Onboard were 12 Manipuri insurgents and another ten from Assam.
The Myanmar military was handing them over to Indian authorities in an equally unusual gesture of goodwill. Seen in a broader perspective, it reflects the Myanmar military's policy of diversifying its foreign contacts and lessening its long-standing dependence on China for security and arms.
It now takes on added strategic significance as China and India mount troops along their contested northern border, bringing the long-time rivals closer to conflict than they have been in years. Myanmar could thus soon be pushed and pulled in countervailing directions as that big power tussle over territory plays out.
Myanmar is firmly stuck between the two Asian giants. Indian insurgents have maintained sanctuaries inside Myanmar since the late 1960s. From there, they have often launch raids into states like Nagaland, Manipur and Assam and then retreat back safely across the border beyond the reach of Indian forces.
Myanmar authorities, burdened with more pressing threats posed by ethnic insurgencies elsewhere in the country, had consistently looked the other way and even denied the existence of the remote insurgent camps.
The turning point came in February 2019, when the Myanmar army raided Taga in upper Sagaing Region where the Khaplang faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) shared its headquarters with rebels from India's northeast.

Shangwang Shangyung Khaplang, a Myanmar Naga, died in June 2017, but the organization still carries his name to distinguish it from NSCN-IM where "IM" stans for Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah, the Nagas from Nagaland and Manipur respectively.
Isak passed in June 2016, and Muivah is alive in India, where he since 1997 has been involved with largely inconclusive peace talks with Indian authorities.
The insurgents, who were repatriated to India this month, had been arrested on different occasions in the wake of the raid on Taga in January last year. At the same time, the Myanmar military also apprehended five high-ranking NSCN-K officials.
They were Nagas from Myanmar and therefore Myanmar citizens. In November last year, they were sentenced by a court in Hkamti to two years' imprisonment under Myanmar's draconian Unlawful Associations Act, a colonial era law dating back to 1908.
The Indian insurgents were given two-year sentences under the same law and were also held in Hkamti jail.
Then came an amnesty in mid-April to mark Thingyan, the traditional New Year, at which almost 25,000 prisoners were released. It did not include human rights workers and political dissidents, but, in a response to an appeal from the local Naga Literature and Cultural Association, those five Nagas were released.
As the amnesty also did not cover foreign citizens, the Manipuris and those from Assam were not set free. But through backdoor diplomacy, India's security services managed to secure their release as well and subsequent repatriation to India.
They came from three different Manipuri groups, an ethnic Bodo outfit in Assam, and a group that wants to carve out an independent entity of six districts in northern West Bengal and four contiguous areas in Assam.

Last year's raid and the repatriation of rebels to India this year signals yet another important shift in Myanmar's foreign policy. Beijing's influence, which dates back to the late 1980s and 1990s, when the Chinese took advantage of Western sanctions and boycotts to move in earnest into the country with investment, loans, credits and arms sales.
But China's influence waned after the Myanmar government implemented various political reforms beginning in 2011, eventuating in democratic elections held in 2015. The West moved to re-engage the once pariah country, but that changed again with the Rohingya refugee crisis in 2017.
Western attitudes hardened again and China appeared to be back, this time promoting its trillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with the aim of establishing a strategic corridor connecting landlocked southwestern China with the Indian Ocean through Myanmar.
The Myanmar military now fears that could make the country more of a Chinese client state than it was under direct military rule before the 2011-2012 reforms.
Myanmar's brass have recently turned more to Russia, another old ally, for military training and the supply of military hardware, including a US$204 million contract to acquire six Sukhoi SU-30M fighter jets.
In January 2018, Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu travelled to Myanmar where he met the country's commander-in-chief, General Min Aung Hlaing. A number of agreements were reached on the supply of military equipment and allowances for Myanmar to send its military personnel for education in Russian schools.
Unlike the West, Russia has not condemned the Myanmar military and government for the persecution of the Rohingyas.
Nor has India, which is eager to counter China's rising influence in its eastern neighbor. In 2017, when Britain announced that it would suspend its training of the Myanmar military, India and Myanmar "talked about training Myanmar sailors on top of the courses taught…at India's elite defense institutions," Reuters reported in September 2017.

In November of that year, India and Myanmar held their first ever bilateral military exercises, officially focusing on "peacekeeping operations." In March 2018, the Indian and Myanmar navies conducted a maiden joint exercise in the Bay of Bengal, where India has recently reported numerous incursions by Chinese submarines.
The Myanmar military's move against Taga last year and the recent repatriation of Indian insurgents is thus best viewed through this wider geo-strategic lens.
India is also acutely aware of the presence of representatives for its northeastern insurgents in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan's town of Ruili near Myanmar's border with China. It also wants to make sure there is no trafficking in Chinese arms from the Myanmar-Chinese border areas to the insurgents' recently upended sanctuaries along the Myanmar-India border.
Among those groups are two to which the repatriated insurgents belonged: the People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak and the People's Liberation Army, both Manipuri outfits. Paresh Baruah, the commander of the even stronger United Liberation front of Asom [Assam] (ULFA), is also believed to be holed up in Yunnan.
On a number of occasions, he travelled from there through northern Myanmar to the erstwhile camp at Taga, where ULFA worked together with its Manipuri comrades-in-arms and the NSCK-K.
Beijing may not begrudge Myanmar's military links to Russia, but fast improving security cooperation between Myanmar and its rival India is another matter. It remains to be seen how Beijing will react. In a disruptive scenario, China could resume assistance to one or several of the motley crew of rebels in India's restive northeast.
That's what Beijing did from the 1960s until the 1980s, when those insurgents were trained, armed and equipped in secret military installations in Yunnan before being sent back to India's ethnic troublespots in states such as Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram.
The ULFA never received such direct assistance, but the rebel group was allowed to stay freely in China while keeping lines open with their comrades back home. China is no longer the only big power game in Myanmar, but given the strategic importance of its BRI in the country it could yet seek ways to foil India's new advances.

Speaker: Paul Ronney, USC
Talk Title: Releasing Insights from Data: Quarrying vs. Sculpting
Abstract: When Michelangelo surveyed a block of marble he saw a figure trapped inside; his goal was to release the figure that in his mind was already there. Research involves not only quarrying (obtaining) blocks of experimental, computational or theoretical data but more importantly releasing the insights trapped within. For example, every student of physics learns about the H atom spectrum - but why this block of data? Because, trapped within the spectrum is a critical, unequivocal insight - that energy levels of matter are quantized.
In that famous example the insight and its significance are obvious given the benefit of years of hindsight - but what important insights are trapped inside freshly-quarried data? The focus of this presentation is on examples of and methods for sculpting data into works of insight. Starting with the aforementioned case study and others the audiences sculpting skill will be challenged with case studies from both the presenters own work (some not yet published) and elsewhere, with an emphasis on examples where the insights were both difficult to sculpt and led to counterintuitive insights.
Biography: Paul Ronney is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.

Best Gaming Communities Like F95zone
Everybody understands the worst experience in gamers. Many games seem to be a frightening thing in humans. But what regarding the best gamers? Many collections are nice such as f95zone, supportive and encouraging new players are free from elitism, casual criticism and even more or less free of the menace of death. The best gaming areas I find here are set and why I think they make a more welcoming place.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
The Entire Total War Series
Let's admit first of all that all competing games can be a bit poisonous. Yet TF2 is overwhelmingly light from all the FPS games out there. Although not completely free of showers, f95zone friendly and f95zones groups are far less clear. It's not free of showers.
This is for various reasons. At the start, it's a popular game with a constant inflow of new players; a mixed level of experience guarantees you won't be decimated automatically, as you would in more severe FPS.
Furthermore, a team-based match, the lone killer is not supported; players should rely on representatives classes as the medicinal practitioner.
Finally, the humorous, animated environment gives a relaxed atmosphere; most opponents just have some fun, rather of playing they are e-Rambo. You will not find this of the way on any site, but it is easy to discover and experience a great one after buying for a little server.
I understand but admit to me. It is deserving noting, though, that in some possible FPS games at least lower levels of toxicity are possible. In contrast to CoD, I think the EA's battlefront surprisingly attractive. It's teamwork again. Successful companies also cooperate and communicate to provide a vital benefit. As you can imagine it is not the most reliable way to make sure they wake up to your mic and that your co-worker is a' noob-jackoff-waste-of-space.'
The discussions like f95zone are a whole distinctive ball game, even though it is a pleasure to play. Casual gamers will have a light PTSD event through active websites. If you need to chat about Battlefield, the f95zone YouTube channel is a much more welcoming area, battlefields are suitable for engaging with the viewer and fans manage to come together about issues such as poor quality DLCs and requirements. My buddy and all that music are the opponents of my enemy.
This excellent game was many years before and all these years later it draws a strong fan base. Just as the battle scene is more active than COD, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is still more potential. The rate appears to be faster and more effective. Why does this issue? Ah, maybe because it is an earlier title, I'm not knowledgeable, but members are real class lovers. Instead, the faster, important gaming can draw a more modern, smarter player and ignore enthusiastic rage gamers who just have little place for it. The Entire Total War Series on f95zone.
Whilst many launches disgruntled fans in this series, the growth of outstanding public never stopped. Given the scale of these games which may be unique to death and loss by any other player, they are very attractive. The forums are stuffed with important debate, tactics manuals, and good purposes. Players seem genuinely involved in training others to improve their playing and RL truth. The games attract professionals with an interest in antiquity and tactics, with a related mind, analytical.
Who would guess it'd always be so great three years later in this 2015 car football game? Admittedly, you can be put on the servers wherever you are left to ride throughout the arena as a new player while the pros float around the rooftops, but I nevermore once got a grid as someone who was a chuck several times. This appears to have taken along some of the best sports features of the game that Fifa and Pro-Evo still need. Again, it has a side play dimension, but it's especially friendly, even with that.
While you could say that the friendship of Little Big Planet is connected to its more youthful audience, that can't be said about the hate-stew online. Due to its society rating system and world-wide nature, the application of Little Big Planet is most suitable. Through encouraging imagination, LBP has made the whole semi-racist, analphabetic hounding we gamers have shown strangely accustomed to a more centred atmosphere. Genuine connections were made in Little Big Planet, and this is a tremendous shift from extensive online war zones, where "killing spree" is the latest goal.
Both rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns are required to create a happy pragmatic place to play. The hungry Left crowds for the Dead 2. Perhaps higher than any other game, teamwork provides a true sense of comradery that can be obtained only in the face of strong herds of the undead. New players and rising play types are good. And it attracts to hero play— I have been caught more than I can count as frequently hungry people, locked, then friends appear from nowhere to save the day by using fire-spastic weaponry. One of the principal factors that make this experience so strong is that it's hard.

This worldwide hit by George Michael and Wham! reached number 1 in 25 countries, selling around six million copies overall. It was Michael's first solo single even though he was still a Wham! member. It is featured on Wham!'s number 1 hit album, Make it Big. Careless Whisper was record label Epic Records first million selling single and was Michael's biggest selling single in the UK as both a solo artist and as a Wham! member.
Michael wrote the song at the age of 17. He is thought to have said he was too immature and afraid of talking about his personal life in his songs so came up with the love story behind the lyrics on a bus travelling to his job as an usher at a cinema. That's where the lyric "the silver screen" came from in the first verse.
Careless Whisper and George Michael's producing received lots of praise for the saxophone solo at the beginning of the song. Saxophonist, Steve Gregory was the musician behind the intro and was hugely credited for the amount of notes he could play in one breath. It has become one of the most famous sax solos in pop music. Gregory went on to play in Queen's song One Year of Love on their hit album, A Kind of Magic.
The song was uniquely covered by the late Tupac Shakur. It has also been performed by The Gossip on BBC Radio 1's Established 1967. The X Factor contestants Shayne Ward and Daryl Johnson performed Careless Whisper in the live episodes of the show. You too could perform this song with Decplay's piano sheet music.

Interfacial mixed-mode fracture of adhesive bonds undergoing large deformation
Herzl Chai
Interfacial fracture of adhesive bonds undergoing large-scale yielding is studied using a combined experimental/finite-element approach. The full range of in-plane mode mixity is produced over bond thickness ranging from 30 to 500 μm using the scarf and the ENF joint geometries. Novel techniques for introducing pre-cracks and surface decoration, together with in situ observations, facilitate accurate determination of the bond-average and the local shear strains at the crack tip during the onset as well as the rest of the crack propagation event. The crack generally grew along one of the two interfaces of the bond, although the failure was always fully cohesive. The local shear strain at the crack tip is independent of the bond thickness, and, under quasi-static conditions, it remains constant throughout the growth, which make it a viable fracture parameter. This quantity strongly depends on the mode mixity, the sign of the phase angle (i.e., shearing direction) and the crack speed, however. A finite-element analysis is used to obtain the crack tip deformation field for an interface crack in adhesively bonded scarf and ENF joints. Large-strain and quasi-static conditions are assumed. A distinct material model in the fracture process zone that allows for volume change in the post-yield regime is incorporated into the analysis. The local deformation is characterized by a pair of bond-normal and tangential displacements corresponding to the nodal points adjacent to the crack tip. The critical values of these quantities are obtained when the FEM bond-average shear strain at the crack tip becomes equal to its experimental counterpart. The so defined critical local displacements, after an appropriate normalization, seem to conform to a single-valued, linear type interrelationship over the entire range of mode mixity. The fact that this relationship is independent of the bond thickness, and furthermore it encompasses both cases of positive and negative phase angles, makes it a viable candidate for characterizing mixed-mode interfacial fracture under large-deformation conditions.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s Senior Unsecured Notes Rated 'A+'; New Issue Ratings Placed On CreditWatch Negative - ADEM ÇETİNKAYA INVESTMENT INC. | AC ADV INC.
NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) April 17, 2019--S&P Global Ratings today assigned its 'A+' issue-level rating to New York City-based pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s proposed senior unsecured notes and placed them on CreditWatch with negative implications.
Bristol-Myers is seeking to exchange the proposed notes for $19.85 billion of outstanding public debt at Celgene Corp., mirroring the Celgene notes in terms of principal amount, interest rate, and maturity date. The proposed notes are contingent on Bristol-Myers successfully closing its acquisition of Celgene. The exchange is offered to all of Celgene's outstanding debt except for Celgene's $500 million of senior notes due 2019, which mature in May 2019. Following the close of the acquisition of Celgene, expected in the third quarter of 2019, we will resolve the CreditWatch listing on all ratings on Bristol-Myers.
Based on the proposed financing terms and assuming no significant changes in financial policy or operating performance, we expect to lower the issuer credit rating on Bristol-Myers to 'A' from 'A+' and assign a stable outlook at the close of the acquisition.
We would expect to rate Bristol-Myers' existing notes, the proposed notes, and any acquisition-related debt issued by Bristol-Myers 'A', with no adjustments for structural subordination upon close. Although unexchanged Celgene debt would be structurally senior relative to Bristol-Myers' debt (existing, acquisition related, and proposed exchange notes), we expect remaining Celgene notes will total less than 50% of the total debt outstanding post-close, and as such, in our opinion, there will be no meaningful structural subordination issues.


Qushum was formed to service SMME's that require ISO 9001:2015 certification.
SMME's have special requirements when it comes to implementing Quality Management Systems.
In most cases, they do not have the necessary computer infrastructure. Usually they do not have the expertise in-house and cannot afford to employ somebody fulltime to look after the system.
Qushum CC has developed an integrated Framework for a quality management system which is accessible on the internet. Because of the flexibility of the system the same framework is used for many companies thus helping to reduce costs.
Unlike other packages where you are sold the software and have to implement the system yourself, Qushum does the implementation for you and continues with the ongoing program of maintenance, audits and reviews for a monthly subscription fee.

2. For the victims of radical Islam and political correctness in the Philippines.
3. For the Christians in Lebanon, Iraq and all over the Middle East, who are in danger because of their faith.
5. For all of the intentions mentioned on the Catholic Fire Blog. Jean posts intentions on a regular basis. Please join her in praying for those in need.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in you.
Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today anew and without reserve to Your divine Heart. I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being. I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. In particular I consecrate to You this poor heart of mine so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your love.
I place my trust in You without reserve and I hope for the remission of mys ins through Your infinite mercy. I place within Your hands all my cares and anxieties. I promise to love You and to honor You till the last moment of my life, and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your most Sacred Heart.
Do with me what you will my Jesus. I deserve n o other reward except Your greater glory and Your holy love.
Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your divine Heart forever.
As you may have noticed, I have revamped my side bar a bit. Thanks to Ramblings of a Catholic's Mom inspiration. In an attempt to make the side bar a little easier to read, I have divided them into a few groups.
I also noticed there were a few blogs that I had inadvertently left off the sidebar. I am not going to say whose those were as you may not have even noticed. ha ha. Seriously, that has been corrected. I am also adding a few new ones so make sure to take a look.
I will be adding others as time goes on.
Happy Feast of the Sacred Heart!
Make My Heart Like Unto Thine.
There are two lovely walks you can take at the Blue Army Shrine in Washington, NJ. One is the Stations of the Cross. There is also the Rosary Walk.
The walk itself is very fragrant with the scent of honeysuckle and clover.
I thought the following maxims worth sharing. The bishop who gave the imprimatur was the late James A. McNulty, Bishop of Paterson and it was given on April 1, 1958. I do not know who wrote this. If anyone does know, please post it in the comments section. Mahalo.
1. No matter what happens, try to let no displeasure appear.
2. If possible, attend daily Mass and secure God's blessing on your work.
3. Bear daily annoyances in a spirit of resignation in your imitation of the Mother of Sorrows.
4. You are aching to tell a bit of news. Wait an hour; it will keep.
5. Are you in a bad humor? Laugh if possible.
6. When you hear the clock strike, repeat the indulgenced prayers, "Divine Heart of Jesus, convert sinners, save the dying and release souls from purgatory."
7. Have you received a letter? Wait a while before reading it.
8. Do you wish to avoid certain persons? Say a little prayer and put yourself in the way to meet them. God goes before you.
9. Do good to the souls of others by a kind word of encouragement, or a prayer softly breathed.
10. Should you feel inclined to make uncharitable remarks, let your words instead be kind and considerate.
11. You are tempted to eat or drink between meals. Abstain in honor of your mortified Savior.
12. It does not please you to go to a certain place. Go for that reason.
13. You are impelled to speak and act while excited. Wait: let the storm pass.
14. Attend Benediction whenever you can. God's blessing should not be slighted.
15. Make the Stations when you can.
16. Perhaps you are tempted to criticize your neighbor. Say to him, or her, only what is good, or be silent.
17. Are you tempted to anger? Conquer yourself for the love of your meek and gentle Savior.
18. When you have time to spare, go before the Blessed Sacrament and make the holy hour.
19. You are inclined to say your prayers hurriedly. Take time; prolong them.
20. Everything tries and irritates you. Bear all through love.
21. Offer an extra Holy Communion for those who are dear to you.
22. Somebody possesses the happy faculty of irritating you. Keep cool.
23. Bear with the failings of others if you wish Jesus to be patient with you.
24. Is there opportunity for some slight revenge or sharp word? Show yourself polite and obliging.
25. You would like to eat a fruit or taste a dainty. Refrain: Jesus asks this of you.
26. You are disposed to complain when you suffer. Thank Jesus for granting you a splinter of His Cross and endure silently.
27. Are you worried about a loved one? Trust the dear Sacred Heart and all will be well.
28. Often make the Sign of the Cross and use holy water. Give the indulgence to the souls in Purgatory.
29. Present a bouquet of flowers to your sweet Jesus: ten mortifications daily.
30. Hide the faults of others and Our dear Lord will hide yours.
31. Let no day pass without saying a decade of the Rosary for the conversion of Sinners.
32. Have your feelings been injured? Offer the mortification to the Mother of Sorrows.
33. If you feel inclined to brood over past sorrows, call to mind the many graces for which you should be grateful.
34. Win a sweet smile from Jesus by a daily visit to the Blessed Sacrament. Pray for sinners.
35. Practice self-forgetfulness and consider the interests of others.
36. Frequently during the day make a Spiritual Communion - say often: "My God I love Thee and desire to receive Thee into my poor heart."
37. Say a decade of the Rosary for the sick, those in affliction, and for the aching hearts throughout the world.
38. You wish to do something simply because it pleases you. Omit it and give the merit to the souls in Purgatory.
39. Confide to God alone your anxieties, your discouragements regarding your dear ones. Ask Jesus what do do and say.
40. Try to cultivate devotion to Our Lord's Passion. This will give comfort in the sorrows that must come to all.
H/T to Ma Beck who once again has posted a few articles regarding this young priest. Thank you Ma for bringing his story to our attention.
"In fact, you returned to Iraq, not only to share the suffering and destiny of your people but also to join your blood to the blood of thousands of Iraqis killed each day. I will never forget the day of your ordination [Oct. 13, 2001] in the [Pontifical] Urbanian University … with tears in your eyes, you told me: "Today, I have died to self" … a hard thing to say..."
My thanks to Melanie for keeping us updated on the nuns. They are in continued need of our prayers.
Dear Esther, you may post this in your blog if choose to do so.
found that of the five surviving nuns, the Mother Prioress was confined to bed in a nursing care facility outside of the monastery; one sister needed to be hospitalized for inpatient chemotherapy; and the oldest of the nuns was confined to her cell and had to have even her meals carried to her.
length, and then went to the enclosure to tell the nuns that they had an unplanned visitor. The Sub-Prioress, working in the laundry room, stopped what she was doing, and met me in the small parlor which has no grill, for a few minutes, while I asked after the health and well-being of the nuns and after the future of their endangered community.
I must tell you that the Union City Monastery, familiarly known as the Blue Chapel, left an extraordinary impression on me, even though I was there for less than two hours. This is not a dying house. Perhaps its community must be uprooted, transplanted in another location, and absorbed into another Second Order cloister. Nevertheless, over seventy-five years of perpetual prayer in this building, have built up a sort of invisible architecture, a structure of prayer, and this place has got power. The combination of force with deep serenity and peace is nearly unique in my experience.
Mother Prioress remains in nursing care, in stable condition.
The oldest of her nuns, her health improved, now uses a walker to go from her cell to prayer and worship -- and to meals in the refectory, no more trays to her room.
in the last two weeks. They welcomed back to the enclosure, Sister Charlotte who spent a good four weeks in hospital, and was discharged at the conclusion of her inpatient treatment.
In fact it is Sr. Charlotte who took my phone call early this evening -- you would never know from the sound of her deep, steady, musical, vibrant voice that she has been through a major health crisis. Now that there are once again a grand total of four Dominican nuns in the same enclosure, the Sub-Prioress can get away from the telephone and out of the laundry room, and go to prayer more often than before. And now they are four at table for meals every day.
Milan, Jun. 7, 2007 (CWNews.com) - A Brazilian soccer star has contradicted a public statement by supermodel Gisele Bundchen, announcing that he and his wife were virgins when they married.
In an interview for the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, the soccer idol known by the single name Kaka said that he and his wife Caroline had waited until they were married, and "that time was important, as it tested our love."
"Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him".

New Chief University training center provides hands-on learning opportunities
Submitted by kmcnamara on Tue, 09/22/2015 - 09:26
Chief University, the training arm of Chief Automotive Technologies, has opened a new training center in Irvine, Calif. The training center is housed in Chief's Irvine specification and research facility, and will host sessions developed for collision repair technicians and estimators throughout the year.
Chief opened the Irvine facility as its North American specification center in 2011. It is where Chief technicians personally measure more than 100 new vehicles every year to develop the specification data that is vital for properly repairing collision-damaged vehicles. Chief University classes are held at educational facilities around the country, making it easy for technicians to find a location close to home. The new Irvine training center will serve technicians and insurance appraisers in the Western United States.
"The Irvine specification center is a perfect location for Chief University training courses," says Ken Boylan, global training manager for Chief. "Trainees who take advantage of this facility will not only be able to participate in classes that cover the latest techniques and tools, but they will also get a glimpse at how Chief is developing data for the vehicles they will be repairing in the future. This unique experience will help give participants a better understanding of modern collision repair practices."
To create the new training center, Chief partitioned its Irvine facility into sections devoted to classroom learning and hands-on training. The hands-on space is outfitted with a Chief impulse®-E/VHT frame rack, along with the latest Chief structural holding, measuring, welding and aluminum repair tools. This equipment can be set up to simulate real-world repair environments that enhance the course material.
Several Chief University courses will be held in Irvine next year. Others that will be held in locations across the country through the end of 2015 are listed below. For a complete schedule and to register, visit www.chiefautomotive.com/Chief-University.

Q: pytest - patched method of a class does not return the mock value My code is fairly simple but i don't understand what is going on :
class MyDb :
   def some_func( arg ) :
    ....

while my test code is :
@mock.patch(mypkg.mydb)
@pytest.mark.parametrize( func_dummy_value ) :
  ( [ { "id" : 1234 } ] )
def test_simple ( mock_db , dummy_value ) :
  mock_db.some_func.return_value = dummy_value

So from where I call it I do have sth like :
db = MyDb()
print db
print db.some_func()

I was expecting the last one to print the dummy value I have given when running the test. Instead I get :
<MagicMock name='MyDb()' id='140018446236496'>
<MagicMock name='MyDb().some_func()' id='140018443991696'>

what am I missing?

A: some_func is a instance method, so it is called on an instance of MyDb, not the class itself. An instance is a return value from calling a class. So you need to bear that in mind when you patch.
mock_db.return_value.some_func.return_value = dummy_value

Hi. I am delighted with Affinity Photos Batch job capability. It's simple and sensible and easy to use. However, (big however!) I can only batch process 7 images at a time. This is just converting PNGs to JPEGs, nothing fancy, not big files. If I load 7 images it works fine. If I load 8 (or, as I wanted to do, 30), Photo goes into the endless spin. Also there is no way I found to abort the job. I had to Force Quit Photo in order to stop the cycle. I gave it plenty of time so it wasn't just my impatience. It just could not deal with more than 7 photos at a time. I looked in vain for a way to cancel the job. This may be just that I couldn't find it. I'm on a MacBook Pro mid 2015 with 16GB of RAM, running OS 10.14.3. I hope it's just something I'm missing and that someone can put me straight on this.


Please help our community — upload your photos of 10033889.
This is a strap, fuel tank (front), for Pontiac automobiles. It fits for Pontiac Fiero for the U.S.. It's a genuine General Motors part with an OEM part number 10033889. Please keep in mind that this strap is discontinued for the U.S. market since February 1, 1993.
10021733 is interchangeable with 10033889 since October 1, 1984 for the U.S. market.

Peter Grimes! Neely O'Hara!
The critic Ivanov said of Dostoevskii: he threatens me, but I am not frightened. Oh, put your pen down, I know he didn't. Someone said it about someone, and they were both Russian, and I've googled it six ways to St. Petersburg and I can't for the life of me come up with it. Anyway this isn't that kind of review. I just wanted to win a little preemptive cred by paraphrasing famous people in expressing my failure to get Britten. For, surely, we are all grown-ups and can acknowledge that the things we don't like are not diminished by our disdain. That said, Britten makes me want to throw things.
It's not that I can't find any good in it. You'd have to be passionately wedded to the traditional not to be chilled at the quartet that ends the #th Act. (My new approach: vagueness trumps incorrectness). My god, and the orchestral interludes. These are the very point of 20th Century Music. And yet they're always so deeply encrusted in quarter hours of pallid, restless nattering that it saps the whole thing of any emotional impact, as far as I'm concerned. I am not frightened, and it's ostensibly a pretty frightening tale.
But I went, knowing this already and as productions of things I don't much care for go, it was (musically) a winner. I know, the unrestrained enthusiasm of that sentence is blowing out your laptop. Really, though, I think if you like the work, you'll be very pleased by this. Maybe especially as a broadcast, I'm half sorry to say. But the nice half of what I mean by that is that Anthony Dean Griffey, while occasionally not a fluid physical actor, is vocally very sure of what he's doing. It's a sonic portrayal with no real compromises. Powerful, well-articulated, and from the gut. Now I'd love to hear him sing something I give a fuck about.
Pausing for a moment to note the smaller roles, I am out of luck, because the color pallet of the costume designer ran the gamut from kelp to mud, and it became difficult to know who anyone was. I'm pretty certain Teddy Tahu Rhodes, who I regret to inform you was very fully clothed, let out some luxuriant tones. Honestly I had begun to assume he was a pin-up, but the truth is he's got the goods.
Racette, well, what's not to like these days? Really if the administration has any sense of what's right, they'll give her an opening night one of these next few seasons of Gelbdom to acknowledge her solidity and reliable inspiration, which must be very valuable to have on hand. But again: something's lost when you slap her into a drab and (Embroidery Aria aside) rather thankless role, and in a production like this one...
Oh yes, you knew I was going to wax catty about the production eventually. I foreshadowed it with that crack at the costumes! I think you're going to hear a lot about the production, both the physical and the regie, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say much of what you hear is going to be negative. It's not a disaster, and in fact parts of it are dramatically rather keen, but overall, you'd never know this was the director who managed to make audiences rethink a musical (Sweeney Todd) with one of the most known and beloved original productions of all. The spatial konzept invites endless jokes (advent calendar? Let's Make a Deal? One wit was heard to compared it to Laugh-In) and flattens out what drama there is in this drab music.
And you know what, rather than comment directly on how crowd scenes were staged, I'd like to let Mercury Opera Rochester comment for me, kinetically:
It's not actually like that but it's about that well thought out. For much of the opera they simply stand and look out at the audience as if to say: is there a stage director in the house?
Oddly, though, the scenes in which Grimes tosses the kid around were rather terrifying. I found myself worried for the little lad, and you know how I feel about children, Whitney Houston. (As Rebecca Pigeon says in her fortunately inimitable way in State and Main: I never really saw the point of them.) So again, a mixed bag, although I feel duty-bound to warn you that the final tableau is a jaw-dropping mistake on the order of the Famous Dead Folks Chorale from last season's Orfeo. If I had to guess, I'd call it a loose visual quotation of the Cell Block Tango in the film of Chicago but one is still left to ask why.
[ETA after a few moments' consideration: I'm not kidding about this one. This was not a choice I didn't agree with; it was simply baffling. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on what the hell it could possibly have meant.]
Ok but you know what? You should still go. And only partly so the Met administration won't program solid seasons of Aida thinking nobody likes any diversity in programming. It's true, though: lots of visible velvet in the house. Go fill it, I say. You're bound to like the production more than I did, because you're probably going in with a better attitude. And you really should hear the bloom on Racette's upper register lately, because it's grand. Also Felicity Palmer is not getting any younger.
I knew someone once who wrote his musicology dissertation entitled Britten and Pears: Who was the Top? A Schenkerian Investigation. Well, you can't prove I didn't.

That final bit was too senselessly stupid even to boo.
It was funny when the crowd cheered when all the lounging models finally started moving off of that thing after curtain calls, though.
I thought kelp was the new silt...
I have a cheap seat for Monday night, although hey, I may ditch it and see if I can score something on the floor. If I do, umm, anyone want a free cheap seat?
I'm still excited about this musically. :)
I suppose it wouldn't have been inapt for those folks up on the risers to start singing "He had it coming!" in counterpoint to the generally uncomprehending murmurs of the crowd below.

Maury, you can choose to believe this or not. But what La Cieca was told by someone who claimed to know someone who, well, you know... well, what La Cieca was told was that the people on the scaffolding at the back of the stage were supposed to represent The LGBT Youth Of The Present Day, and that at the dress rehearsal they slowly filed downstage during the final chorus to glare balefully at the audience.
Yes, that's right, LGBT Youth, which I suppose is why these supers looked so much like this season's cast of "Project Runway."
The "Norma" clip, by the way, is utterly breathtaking. By the end of the run, surely the Druids were doing full-on baton twirling routines with their spears.
La C: that is downright hilarious, but also so staggeringly awful that I just sat staring balefully at my computer screen. Can it really be true, I wonder?

"My god, and the orchestral interludes. [...] And yet they're always so deeply encrusted in quarter hours of pallid, restless nattering that it saps the whole thing of any emotional impact."
wow... you just summed up my reaction to just about every opera. now I'll never understand what you like about it so much.
Did I miss something? I was at the second performance (3/3) and did not notice any models lounging around at the end or staring vacantly at the audience. The dark walls slid offstage and the open space back to Amsterdam Avenue was flooded in white light. The chorus came out, the men having doffed their slickers and the women their bonnets & veils. A couple of the choristers sat on the edge over the pit and dangled their feet as they sang the final chorus. And then there was a blackout.
So where were these gay & lesbian Project Runway kids? If they were there I didn't notice them.
Edited out by Gelb, I guess... Good idea.
It's nice to see something egregiously dumb get the axe quickly, isn't it?

Former Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan in a freewheeling chat with the Firstpost team in Mumbai touched upon a number of subjects from Marathwada drought, what Devendra Fadnavis should do and how Narendra Modi should stop being a BJP's Prime Minister.
Stressing on the need for more investments in the farm sector, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said the incentive structure of the agriculture sector should be revisited to address the challenges being faced by the sector and boost productivity.
The delegation submitted a memorandum to the minister concerning various aspects of the bill, which the government claimed was arrived at after consulting more than 65 farmers' bodies.
The late Gopinath Munde and Nitin Gadkari, devised a novel approach of setting them up under the Companies Act, with funds from urban cooperative banks, but shareholding limited mostly to sugarcane farmers.
Leaders of a buoyant BJP in Maharashtra may be hoping for more seats to contest in upcoming state assembly polls but ally Shiv Sena does not seem to be in a mood to insist on continuing to play the role of "big brother" in state politics.
The development is also considered a setback for the plans of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had been reportedly toying with using the Shetty-led organisation's clout in rural areas of the state.
The Congress and the NCP have a political hot potato on their hands before 2014 polls.

Top 20 Questions About Veganism
White meat and your health – what you need to know
The fat question
Many people turn to white meat because of the belief that white meat is lower in fat than other types of meat. However, meat is mostly muscle and muscles are made of protein and fat. Fat is an inherent part of meat and even if you remove the skin and visible fat, you can't just magic away the fat inside the meat.
Moreover, when numerous samples of chicken meat (including organic) were analysed, it was discovered that it now contains more than twice as much fat as it did back in 1940, a third more calories and a third less protein (Wang et al., 2004). The reason is simple – today's chicken farming means high-energy feed, little exercise and breeding for rapid weight gain.
total fat content [g/100g]
cholesterol [mg]
Grilled pork steak
Food Standards Agency, 2002. McCance & Widdowson's The Composition of Foods, Sixth Summary Edition. Cambridge: Royal Society of Chemistry
For comparison of fat and cholesterol content in various types of meat, see the table above.
Around a third of the fat in both chicken and turkey is saturated fat. Saturated fat and cholesterol from the diet increase blood cholesterol levels and contribute to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. Human body produces cholesterol on its own and never needs outside sources. Saturated fat and cholesterol in our diet contribute to artery blockages, leading to heart attacks, strokes and other serious problems.
And it's not just cholesterol but also what happens to it during cooking – high temperatures lead to cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) that are a risk factor for heart disease and may be toxic to our cells and cause DNA damage (Milićević et al., 2014).
To maintain healthy weight, we shouldn't eat more than 70 grams of fat per day, ideally, we should eat less than that and minimise our saturated fat intake.
In many chicken-based fast food meals, you can get so much fat and calories, they should be labelled as a health hazard. Nando's Chicken Thighs (one portion) contains 561 calories and over 30 grams of fat, almost seven grams of it saturated. Their Double Chicken Breast Fillet wrap packs astonishing 721 calories and over 23 grams of fat plus 3.2 grams of salt (adults shouldn't eat more than 6 grams of salt per day).
KFC's Streetwise Mega Box will load your body with 58 grams of fat and the total of 1200 calories (which is almost two thirds of a recommended daily intake) and the Mighty Bucket for One comes at 904 calories, 49 grams of fat and is laced with 5.6 grams of salt. If you thought that having just a few pieces of chicken can't be that bad, you should know that just three pieces of KFC's Original Recipe chicken bumps up your fat intake by hefty 42 grams.
We are what we eat
White meat is a great source of AGEs (advanced glycoxidation end-products also called glycotoxins) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs).
AGEs are toxins naturally produced by the body but we can also ingest them in food. AGEs accumulate in joints and contribute to arthritis (Verzijl et al., 2003), they accumulate in the brain contributing to Alzheimer's disease (Münch et al.,1998); and in blood vessels, contributing to high blood pressure (Silacci, 2002) and atherosclerosis (Stitt et al., 1997).
When the amount of AGEs in common food items was measured, the highest amounts were found in meat products, including oven-fried chicken, McDonalds Chicken Nuggets and cooked chicken breast (Goldberg et al., 2004).
The other group of compounds, called HCAs, are chemicals linked to cancer in humans (and officially recognised as carcinogens). They are produced when you cook animal products. The longer the meat is cooked and the higher the temperature, the more these compounds form (Knize et al., 1994).
Some of the highest concentrations of HCAs are found in grilled meat, especially chicken. In independent laboratory tests, 100 grilled chicken items from restaurants including McDonalds and Burger King were all found to contain HCAs (PCRM, 2008).
On top of that, cooked meats also contain a cocktail of cancer causing chemicals, including: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, N-nitroso compounds, lipid peroxides, other pro-oxidative agents and fungal products (Cross and Sinha, 2004). All these have the potential to interact with our DNA and cause cancer.
And the award for the food most likely to make you sick goes to…
Poultry consumption is the major cause of food poisoning in the UK. Campylobacter is the main culprit responsible for around 280,000 food poisoning cases per year and around 100 people are thought to die as a result of food poisoning (The Guardian, 2014).
However, most cases are underreported and the actual number in the UK is estimated to be more than 500,000 per year (MacRitchie et al., 2014). Campylobacter causes severe abdominal pain, nausea and bloody diarrhoea and severe cases can be fatal. Complications associated with the infection include Guillian–Barré syndrome, arthritis and IBD (irritable bowel disease).
The temperature required to kill the bacteria (160ºF/71ºC) is the same temperature which produces carcinogenic compounds mentioned above so there is no 'safe' way to prepare white meat in that respect.
The Guardian investigation that Viva! was involved in (The Guardian, 2014) revealed that two-thirds of fresh retail chicken in UK are contaminated with campylobacter. Campylobacter is carried in the intestines and faeces of chickens and evisceration is one of the key points in the processing chain at which contamination occurs. Large abattoirs run lines that process 185 to 195 birds a minute (nearly 12,000 an hour) and the investigation exposed problems that come with this speed - a factory floor flooded with guts, carcasses coming into contact with workers' boots then returned to the production line and other poor practices that increase the risk of spreading bacteria.
Insider sources say this is common across the industry and is even unavoidable given the way chicken is processed.
When researchers swabbed the outside surface of packages of raw meat they found Salmonella, Campylobacter and multidrug-resistant E. coli present (Burgess, 2005). Even your toilet is cleaner and safer than handling raw chicken! Authorities now advise people not to wash chicken before cooking to limit bacteria spreading on the kitchen surfaces – if it's not safe to touch it, why would we want to eat it?
So, is white meat a good choice for health conscious consumers? Not by any chance! You can get clean lean protein from plants, it's not only safer but much healthier and the kindest possible choice.
