Comments Off on The Zimmermann Telegram: Intelligence, Diplomacy, and America's Entry into World War I
The Zimmermann Telegram by Thomas Boghardt
Published by Naval Institute Press on October 15, 2012
Genres: History, Military, World War I
Although strictly speaking not a book about naval history, the group that deciphered the Zimmermann Telegram was the Royal Navy's Room 40OB, so I think it is only just to include it with the naval titles. This major reexamination by an expert on military intelligence investigates how the infamous telegram was intercepted, deciphered, and exploited. It reaches very different conclusions from earlier studies (including Tuchman's The Zimmermann Telegram). A thought-provoking and well-written book.

Jutland: The Naval Staff Appreciation

Jutland: The Naval Staff Appreciation by William Schleihauf
Published by Seaforth Publishing on December 31, 2016
Genres: History, Military, World War I, Naval, General
I include this title with some reluctance, as I contributed some of the text and prepared the book for publication after the death of my friend, Bill Schleihauf. Nevertheless, I think it rates as an important work on the battle. The core of this book is a secret appreciation of the battle, written after the war by a pair of Royal Navy officers and suppressed because of its extreme criticism of Admiral Jellicoe. Despite its suppression, it has been used by a number subsequent historians (including Arthur J. Marder) and so has played an important part in the historiography of the battle. The notes added by Schleihauf and McLaughlin supplement the original text and point out its errors, and a collection of valuable documents is appended.
FULL DISCLOSURE: As noted above, I added some text and prepared the manuscript for publication, so I am not an unbiased reviewer!

The Battle of Jutland by John Brooks
Published by Cambridge University Press on May 9, 2016
Genres: History, Europe, Great Britain, General, Military, World War I, Modern, 20th Century
A remarkable work of scholarship; Brooks went back to the original reports submitted by the British commanders—Jellicoe, Beatty, and all their subordinates, as well as communications logs, gunnery logs, and other supplemental materials. The result is a detailed examination of the battle that strips away a hundred years of claims and counter-claims and provides a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the battle. Along the way Brooks offers many fresh insights into the actions of the British naval leadership. One warning: This is not a book for casual reading—to extract its full value the reader must pay close attention!

Churchill and the Dardanelles by Christopher M. Bell
Published by Oxford University Press on January 12, 2017
Genres: History, Europe, Great Britain, General, Military, Modern, 20th Century, Biography & Autobiography, Historical, World War I, World War II
A reassessment of Churchill's role in the conception, planning and execution of the Dardanelles fiasco, as well as an examination of the subsequent inquiry and the long-standing controversy over the operation. Bell previously wrote Churchill and Sea Power, and is an expert on the great man's relationship with the Royal Navy. His account draws on a mass of archival material, and provides a more nuanced view of the people and politics that contributed to the decision-making process.
To Crown the Waves: The Great Navies of the First World War

To Crown the Waves by Richard Worth, W. David Dickson
Published by Naval Institute Press on July 15, 2013
Another innovative way to look at the First World War at sea, this book has separate chapters on the navies of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, and the United States. The navies of Japan and the Ottoman Empire receive more limited coverage in a single chapter. Each chapter is written by an expert on the navy it covers. For each of the major navies, there are detailed descriptions under various headings, e.g., "Backstory" (outlining the navy's pre-1914 history), "Organization" (with subheadings for Command Structure, Fleet Organization and Order of Battle, Communications, and Intelligence), "Infrastructure, Logistics, and Commerce," "Personnel," etc. Other sections cover doctrine, ships, aviation and weapons, as well as "War Experience and Evolution." The result is a unique portrait of each navy that highlights its strengths and weaknesses.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I contributed the chapter on the Russian Imperial Navy.

From the Dreadnought to Scapa Flow by Arthur J Marder
Published by Seaforth Publishing on June 13, 2014
Genres: History, Military, Naval, World War I
In 5 volumes: vol. I: The Road to War, 1904-1914; vol. II: The War Years to the Eve of Jutland; vol. III: Jutland and After (May 1916-December 1916) (second edition, revised and enlarged); vol. IV: 1917, Year of Crisis; vol. V: Victory and Aftermath, January 1918–June 1919. London: Oxford University Press, 1961, 1978; a paperback edition, with introductions to each volume by Barry Gough, was published by the Naval Institute Press in 2014.
Long the standard work on the topic, Marder's volumes have in recent years been subjected to some criticism; yet the work still stands as a monumental contribution to the field, and no reader interested in the history of the Great War at sea can ignore it. The recent reissue in paperback makes it possible to obtain at a reasonable price what had become a rare set.

A Naval History of World War I by Paul Halpern
This work is still regarded as the gold standard for overall histories of the First World War at sea. It covers every theater of the war, and the author consulted not only English-language sources but made extensive use of French and German documents and publications as well. Originally published as a hardback, it has been reissued several times in paperback.

American Military Vehicles of World War I by Albert Mroz
Published by McFarland on January 19, 2010
Genres: History, Military, World War I, Transportation, Automotive, General
Hundreds of b&w photos, images of advertisements, and technical drawings appear throughout this outstanding book that examines American motor vehicles used in World War One.
The author researched a wide variety of sources, including the American Truck Historical Society, the Art Archives at the Imperial War Museum, the Society of Automotive Historians, and the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, to name just a few. As the basis for the text, Mroz reprinted portions of prior articles he wrote that appeared in magazines such as American History, Autoweek, Army Motors, Militaria International and others.
Although not as exciting or as popular as tanks and armored cars, a standardized truck to haul supplies and men, and to tow artillery and other items was critical to the war effort. Mroz points out that American industry was able to produce only 9,364 Liberty trucks by the November 1918 Armistice. A July 1917 magazine editorialized that taking so long to design and approve a standard truck for the Army was "shameful." That lesson would be learned and fixed in the Second World War.

The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End
Comments Off on The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End
The Vanquished by Robert Gerwarth
Genres: History, Europe, General, Military, World War I, Modern, 20th Century, Tomlinson
Times Literary Supplement Best Book of 2016
If it is true, as they say, that the victors write the history, then our understanding of World War I and the century that followed is at the very least incomplete. Take, for example, the seemingly basic question of when the war ended. The standard date–November 11, 1918–privileges the experiences of the victors, most notably France, Great Britain and the United States, all of which use it as a time for national holidays based on war memorialization.
At issue is more than simple semantics or the preferences of pedantic historians. … Robert Gerwarth cites German veteran and writer of Storm of Steel Ernst Jünger, who said in 1928, "This war is not the end but the beginning of violence." Thus, we can understand the "First World War" as not having truly ended until at least 1945 or perhaps even 1991 when the Soviet Union, itself a product of the war, finally collapsed. Even discussing the war in terms of winners and losers misses the point. With the possible exception of the United States and Japan, all states came out of the war far worse off than when they went in—and the people of Europe knew it.
In his epilogue, Gerwarth notes that by the late 1930s only two of the new post-1918 states, Finland and Czechoslovakia, looked anything like the liberal democracies that were once supposed to be the basis of Europe's future. By 1939 there were, in fact, fewer people living under democracies than had been the case in 1914. Violence and dehumanization (with Jews as a particular target across central and eastern Europe) had become the norm in many of the new regimes. Thus does Gerwarth make clear the need to understand two often forgotten legacies of this period: that the process of ending World War I was just as traumatic as the war itself and that even in total wars, the vanquished still play a critical role.

Germany's Western Front by Mark Osborne HumphriesJohn Maker
Published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press on June 30, 2010
Genres: History, Europe, Germany, Military, World War I, Strategy
This multi-volume series in six (perhaps seven) parts is the first English-language translation of Der Weltkrieg, the German official history of the First World War. It was originally produced between 1925 and 1944 using classified archival records that were destroyed by aerial bombing in April 1945 at the end of the Second World War. This series presents the inside story of Germany's experience on the Western Front. Hopefully, future volumes will cover other fronts.
This account by official historians is fundamental to the study of the Great War and official memory in Weimar and Nazi Germany. Although some new document sources have been found in former Soviet archives, the original Der Weltkrieg work remains one of the most important resources on Germany in WW1. This translation makes it accessible to English readers.
Confusingly, the 1915 volume was released initially. It has the official explanation of the first use of poison gas against French and Canadian troops at Ypres. It also explains the conflict raging in the German High Command over the political and military direction of the war, setting the stage for Verdun that sealed the fate of the German Supreme Commander, Erich von Falkenhayn.
The 1914 volume is part one of that year, covering the outbreak of war in July–August, the German invasion of Belgium, the Battles of the Frontiers, and the pursuit to the Marne in early September. The first month of war was critical for the German army and, as the official history makes clear, the German war plan was a gamble that seemed to present the only solution to the riddle of the two-front war. But as the Moltke-Schlieffen Plan was gradually jettisoned through a combination of intentional command decisions and confused communications, Germany's hopes for a quick and victorious campaign evaporated.
The English editors' extensive footnotes are outstanding and a treasure for researchers. They include explanations of German terminology, other countries' perspectives on events, as well as current debates and controversies such as the argument by author Terrence Zuber that the Schlieffen Plan was a myth propagated in the 1920s (see WWOI issue #3, page 10).
The second part of 1914 is due next, but sadly no dates for it or future volumes could be obtained from the publisher.

Treacherous Passage: Germany's Secret Plot against the United States in Mexico during World War I by Bill Mills
Published by Potomac Books on January 1, 2017
Genres: History, Latin America, Mexico, Military, World War I, United States, 20th Century, Espionage, Sabotage
The infamous Zimmerman telegram proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico if the USA entered the Great War. The secret diplomatic communication sent by the German Foreign Office was intercepted, deciphered, and revealed to the American public by British intelligence and caused a furor in 1917. What was not then publicly known was how extensive German clandestine operations were in Mexico. These included training an embryonic German-Mexican invasion force, dispatching saboteurs to the U.S., planning submarine bases on the western coast of Mexico, and an idea to launch sea raiders from the port of Mazatlán to attack merchant shipping in the Pacific.
Author Mills weaves a lively story of German Consul Fritz Unger, head of the powerful trading house Melchers Sucesores, and his efforts in Mexico that were thwarted by a top American spy who was a trusted member of the German secret service there. A cast of colorful characters provide drama and intrigue that reads more like a novel but is true history.

I Was a Spy! by Marthe McKennaWinston Churchill
Published by Pool of London Press on September 19, 2015
Genres: History, Military, World War I, Europe, Germany, True Crime, Espionage, Political Science, Intelligence & Espionage, Social History
The author and her family were overrun in Belgium at the outbreak of the war. Instead of completing her medical studies to become a physician, Marthe became a nurse in a hospital run by the Germans. She also fed information to the British who had set up an underground network as they retreated. Marthe proved to be intelligent, fast thinking, reliable and cautious.
An excellent nurse, she was honored with others for their efforts by the King of Württemberg. As the war continued the Germans were able to staff and monitor the occupied areas with troops whose job was to suppress resistance and locate spies. When she was finally captured for her participation in sabotage the Germans wanted to shoot her. However, her former supervisors at the hospital vouched for her work and reminded the review board that it would look awfully bad to be killing heroines with German medals. She escaped the firing squad, spending the remainder of the war in prison.
Well-written, the reader comes to appreciate the stress that accumulates back when communications were much slower than today.

Verdun: The Left Bank
Comments Off on Verdun: The Left Bank
Verdun: The Left Bank by Christina Holstein
Published by Pen and Sword on February 29, 2016
Genres: Battles & Campaigns
This is the author's fourth book in Pen and Sword's Battleground Europe series covering the Battle of Verdun in 1916. Although there is a short 2-page section at the beginning called "Advice to Tourers," it is not meant to be a battlefield guide. The book includes a plethora of historical and modern black & white photos.
Most of the histories of the 11-month battle focus on the German capture of Fort Douaumont in February in the initial attack, the offensive of 23 June when French commander Pétain considered withdrawing, or the final attempt on Fort Souville that summer. These all took place in the central area of the Right (East) Bank.
There were nine battles in the area of the Left Bank, generally referred to as the battle of the flanks, that included the struggle to reach Fort Vaux. As author Holstein points out "During that period [end of February through May] the flanks were not a sideshow to the battle; they were the battle…."
Well researched and a nicely done short history.

Soldiers' Songs and Slang of the Great War by Martin Pegler
Published by Osprey Publishing on August 20th 2014
Genres: History, Military, General, World War I, Europe, Great Britain, Technology & Engineering, Military Science, Social History
Soldiers' Song and Slang of the Great War is an update and enlargement of a book first published in 1931. The current book includes phrases that were deemed inappropriate in earlier editions. The slang is both mystifying and well known. For example, a "goo wallah" is the sanitary man. Other items such as a "flapper's delight" for a young officer are self-explanatory even now.
The songs lack any musical notations and only the lyrics are printed. Many use melodies set to well-known tunes—those by Gilbert and Sullivan seem to be popular as are folk melodies from the British countryside. The lyrics are commentaries on life at the front, the memories of home, and patriotic themes. By war's end parodies are widespread. Songs from America and France are included, even "Adieu la Vie" (Chanson of Craonne) which was banned in France until 1974. The English translation is buried in the appendix, but is worth finding. The song is an indictment by the soldiers in the field of their treatment by the French army and government.
The Home Front in the Great War covers the British home front and the Hull area in detail. There is a chronological section at the beginning that provides an overview of events back in "Blighty," followed by short essays on the efforts by groups from the Royals to the YMCA to support of the war effort. The report on the Boy Scouts is especially laudatory.
Both books use a good variety of images and are entertaining to read. Unfortunately, neither book has an index, making it almost impossible to use them for reference purposes.

Service16.5
No matter where you stay in L.A., the town where, famously, nobody walks, you'll probably be driving to dinner. The Grafton on Sunset — and the Sunset Strip in general — is a notable exception. From this address, you can walk to any number of restaurants and bars in West Hollywood, including the Roxy, the Viper Room, Chateau Marmont, and the legendary Whisky a Go Go.
The hotel is more or less hidden from the street, but that's not a bad thing when the street you're talking about is the Sunset Strip — the ability to shut the world out at the end of the night is no small thing. But it's far from sleepy. Inside, the Grafton on Sunset is a boutique hotel with serious design cred and a lively rock-and-roll spirit. It also has a hip steakhouse that's popular with locals, and the largest saltwater pool in town.
The aesthetic is distinctly cosmopolitan, mixing modern furniture and a bold black and white palette with playful details: think twinkling chandeliers and silver mirrors to metallic sectional sofas, red leather chairs, leopard print throws, and chevron rugs. Guest rooms and suites at the Grafton on Sunset have an industrial-chic feel, too, rich with leather and metal details, custom lighting, separate seating areas, HDTVs, and rain showers. And the poolside rooms feel especially rock star–worthy.
It's no surprise to hear that Bar 20, the cocktail bar on the lobby level, is happening at happy hour, as is Oliver's Prime Steakhouse at dinnertime. But at the Grafton on Sunset, it's all about location. Leave your car parked and go for a stroll — take advantage of the fact that there are several worthwhile places within walking distance, and, when all's said and done, a perfectly stylish place to return to for a nightcap.

Q: Mimicking WHM backup rotations with S3 Lifecycle I'm setting up a new managed VPS server to back up to Amazon S3. WHM has S3 backup natively implemented now, but it does not support deletion/rotation. I'd like to keep a set of backups something like this:

*

*2 daily backups in S3

*1 weekly backup in S3

*4 weekly backups in Glacier

*12 monthly backups in Glacier

*yearly backups in Glacier

After WHM backups run, the S3 bucket contains this file structure:
       yyyy-mm-dd/
         accountname1.tar.gz
         accountname2.tar.gz
         accountname3.tar.gz

I might even want different backup rules for different accounts (some more active, some less so). Given how many WHM accounts are using S3 for backup, surely this is a solved problem? I searched StackOverflow and google, but I'm not finding any info on how to use the S3 LifeCycle to do anything other than "move files older than X."
If this just isn't feasible, feel free to recommend a different WHM backup strategy (though my host's custom offsite backup is prohibitively expensive, so not an option).

A: Use different folders (S3 path) for your different file types.  Then create a Lifecycle rule on that path.  with the time you want the objects to be in S3, and/or glacier time and expiration
/daily/yyyy-mm-dd/    <- no lifecycle rule
     accountname1.tar.gz
     accountname2.tar.gz
     accountname3.tar.gz

/weekly/yyyy-mm-dd/    <- LifeCycleRule "weekly" files older than 7 days
    are moved to glacier, files older than 45 days are removed from glacier
     accountname1.tar.gz
     accountname2.tar.gz
     accountname3.tar.gz

/monthly/yyyy-mm-dd/    <- LifeCycleRule "monthly" files older than 1 days
    are moved to glacier, files older than 366 days are removed from glacier
     accountname1.tar.gz
     accountname2.tar.gz
     accountname3.tar.gz

A: It turns out that WHM backup rotation actually is working now with S3 (rumors and documentation to the contrary). This means that greg_diesel's suggestion of using the lifecycle is not necessary to expire old logs (and keep my costs down), but it's the right answer to manage moving older monthly files to glacier before they are deleted by the WHM rotation.
Thanks!

De Mistura: We seek to resume Syrian talks in July
National news June 23, 2016 De Mistura: We seek to resume Syrian talks in July2016-06-23T00:00:00+00:00
Geneva, – The United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura announced on Thursday that the next round of Syrian talks in Geneva has not yet been determined, noting that the UN seeks to resume it in July.

No one can crush criminal cranium like this trailer for OFFICER DOWNE
By Craig Risi
I'm not sure what it is with some heavy metal musicians and cheesy movies, but there definitely seems to be strange connection. Rob Zombie has built a big reputation for his cheesy B-grade horror movies and now we have Shawn Crahan, better known as Clown, a percussionist for Slipknot, who is following the same path in his first feature film release titled Officer Downe.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the film follows a premise very similar to Robocop, where a police officer who is assumed to be killed is resurrected as a seemingly bullet-proof robot to take on a gang of criminals that are taking over the city. And that's pretty much where the similarities end, as this movie looks like its pumped full of LSD or some other type of drug, that sees everything from killer nuns to masked villains. All over-the-top and full of silliness. James is going to love this.
And it's not just the whole style of the film that is over the top. It's those one-liners that bring in more layers of cheese than a triple decker, cheesy crust pizza that is topped with even more cheese. You are almost expecting the lead actor, Kim Coates to rip off a mask and reveal he is indeed Arnold Schwarzenegger. It fits the style of the graphic novel, but some things don't translate well into movies and I think this is one of them. You kind of expect films to have dialogue with more depth to them.
Officer Downe will be released on VOD on November 18th. It's not something I would be rushing to see, but with so many directors building a cult reputation on what many might consider really bad movies, I guess there is a market for it.

A Photo Tour of the Medical Center
The Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center was founded in 1984, originally as a single bed facility studying patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Picture above, the waiting room at the Medical Center's new location.
In 1985, we were one of the nation's first free-standing sleep study laboratories to be accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. This is the Reception Desk at The Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center
By 1995, we had expanded to 2 bedrooms, and began to operate as a full-service sleep disorders center, studying all aspects of both sleep and wake disorders. The new nurses station is pictured here.
In 1999, we began construction of a new facility, a 4 bedroom, state of the art, sleep disorders center. We left that facility in 2020 to better serve our patients in a newly configured medical center, still located in Thousand Oaks, California, at 317 S. Moorpark Road.
We have maintained accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 1985. Pictured here is one of our examination rooms at the new facility.
The center has two elegantly appointed, sound attenuated, and climate controlled bedrooms.
All beds are top of the line, pillow top mattresses with multi-layer memory foam overlays.
Bedding, linens, pillows and bedspreads are of the highest quality and should make you feel like you are in your own home.
Furnishings, decorations and artwork are warm and inviting and conducive to allowing for a good night's sleep.

Picking up in Blackreach where she was left for dead by The Caller, IENARATH tells the tale of how an enterprising Dunmer mage built an empire!

Woodsmen by trade, there's no problem a well-placed arrow won't solve.
Born to an unnamed father and an ailing mother, Anrion grew up alone in this world. Living in the city of Cheydinhal as a boy, he spent much of his time in the lush forests surrounding the area. After a run-in with some local bandits, he was fortunate enough to be saved by the Fighter's Guild, who were there on a job. This led to Anrion striking up a friendship with the current Cheydinhal head, Burz gro-Khash. Although he was never officially inducted into the guild, he was drafted as a ward, dealing with the daily chores and learning from the members of the branch. Discovering that he was adept with a bow, they helped him shape himself into a capable archer and huntsman. Newfound skills in hand, Anrion began to contribute to the town as a hunter, bringing in game and, after some practice, collecting herbs to be used in potions.
As an adult, Anrion is a man of middling height and slim physique. Commonly described as taciturn, he usually spares no more words than necessary on anyone outside of his social circle. He has a dislike for folks from the larger cities of Nirn, a disdain for mages, enchanters, and generally anything not on the list as "martial", and disgust for daedra, undead, and anything not on the Mundus plane. In combat, Anrion prefers to settle the matter with a single well-placed arrow taking the enemy by surprise. Usually people who are in his sights are below reputable and he does not see any point in making taking them out harder for himself than need be. If it's practical and it works, he'll do it.


And for my weekly happy-time, another thrifting trip!
Don't you love buying something that you already know exactly how to wear? I can picture this shirt-dress with a pair of sturdy brown leather strappy heels and some big tortoise sunglasses and an oversized bag. This is one of those looks that I've always loved to try, but I wouldn't want to spend a fortune putting it together. Thrifting can be a great way to test out different looks without feeling ultimately commited.
With university all over, that means the business world is coming my way, so it's time to start stocking up on blouses! This was a hell of a steal, and it's a unique piece. I am not much of a fan of the starchy white blouse, so this blouse is a breath of fresh air!
This blouse has beautifully exotic feel to it. I love the caftan design and the bright flower colours. A great special piece to wear over a simple pair of shorts!

Business of the House (30 Apr 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Will the Leader of the House ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to make a statement on the A330 and A340 Airbus project? Is he aware that more than 400 A320s have been sold, but we guess that 200 sales were lost because of delays? It looks as though we have lost some sales of A330 and A340 aircraft including sales to Alitalia. Will the right hon. Gentleman please urgently...
Helicopter Orders (9 Apr 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that despite the long delay and the orders that have now been announced, we shall still be 50 per cent. short? It reminds me a little of 1939, when we had the appropriate aircraft but not enough of them. The right hon. Gentleman ought to bear that in mind. Will he take it from me that unless there is collaboration with Europe we shall lose face? If he...
Business of the House (9 Apr 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Will the Leader of the House take it from me that there has never before been a time when hon. Members on both sides of the House who are interested in aviation have seen the American civil aviation industry so worried? It is worried because it sees a real threat from the A320, and a positive approaching threat from the A330 and A340. Should we not avoid losing our lead, and make adequate and...
Oral Answers to Questions — Social Services>: Hospital Beds (7 Apr 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: If there is a change in the provision of convalescent beds, will the Minister seriously take into account the importance of applying rehabilitation techniques within those convalescent places? Will he make sure that there is adequate back-up from the paramedical professions?

Opposition Day: Health Care and Services for the Elderly (25 Feb 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: I should declare an interest at the outset because I am an old-age pensioner and, therefore, one could say that is an example of enlightened self-interest. I am pleased to say that I am enjoying good health. I would like to strike an optimistic note. I would like the Minister to answer the three issues I am going to raise. I want to talk about a continuing interest I have had over 20 years...
Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Helicopters (24 Feb 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Does the Minister agree that AST 404 was the product of a study, but that it did not produce helicopters?

Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Will the Minister take it from me that we wish him well in his endeavours, but that he needs an awful lot of luck to be successful?
Opposition Day: Disabled People (17 Feb 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: After 22 years involvement in the House in respect of disability, I shall now make my shortest speech on the subject. It is heartwarming that the disabled people are concerned about prevention. I am delighted to be associated with the Spastics Society's move to prevent disability in the young. The society has realised the suffering caused by disability, and it is willing to make a sacrifice...
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: On a point of clarity, I can tell the hon. Gentleman that the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 went through the House at about 4 o'clock on the last morning before the general election. The implementation of that Act, known as the Alf Morris Act, was up to the Conservative Government.
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: I can see the problem and I can see the value of the discussion. When the Minister has had the discussions and the sums have been fixed—I assume that this will be in the not too distant future—will he tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer that some of the billions to be given away would be going to a good cause if they were spent on the implementation of my hon. Friends Act?
Oral Answers to Questions — Social Services: Community Care (10 Feb 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: In view of the importance of community care, when does the Minister expect those eligible to be released from long-stay mental hospitals will be evacuated, given the rate at which funds are being provided?
Oral Answers to Questions — Environment: Building Industry (Black Economy) (4 Feb 1987)

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Regional Airports (2 Feb 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Does the Minister accept that it would be a considerable help to Manchester and the regions if he was to have a word with his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and order the A340 Airbus, to allow regions such as Manchester to provide aircraft for the long, narrow routes?
J. E. Hanger and Co. Ltd. (29 Jan 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Does the Minister agree that this dispute has probably more to do with McColl, the re-signing of the contract with the DHSS and the case now before the court about contracts? Does he not think that drastic needs require drastic action? Will he try to approach the chairman of BTR and tell him that this dispute is not doing his company any good at all?
Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Industry: EC-USA (Trade Dispute) (28 Jan 1987)
Mr Lewis Carter-Jones: Is the Minister aware that he would have the support of the entire House if he did not allow the negotiations to prevent his Department from providing speedy support for the A330 and A340 Airbus? Is he aware that his Department's support of the A320 Airbus, which preserved that high technology, is likely to be repaid in the very near future?

Q: pm2 + EC2 instance + bootstrap script = hang? Strange problem appears when I try to launch AWS EC2 instance with pm2
aws ec2 run-instances \
--count ${INSTANCE_COUNT} \
--image-id ${IMAGE_ID} \
--region ${REGION} \
--instance-type ${INSTANCE_TYPE} \
--iam-instance-profile Name=${IAM_ROLE} \
--security-group-ids ${SECURITY_GROUP} \
--key-name ${KEY_NAME} \
--subnet-id ${SUBNET_ID} \
--user-data ${BOOTSTRAP}

where ${BOOTSTRAP} is url to my file BOOTSTRAP='file://ec2-bootstrap.sh'.
The problem is that it has the following row which hangs while trying to start pm2 daemon:
pm2 start ${SERVER_HOME}/index.js --ignore-watch="database node_modules" --watch -- -p80

After it happens, processor load is 100% high and virtual memory runs out of its size.
The only things I could find are somehow about slave instances + stdin, e.g. look here or here, but both of these articles are too far away from solving my problem.
When I try to run this command manually it works just fine, very fast and as expected, but if I try to run it with at, let's say
echo '<<the command here>> > ~/test.log' | at now + 1 min

the problem is reproduced. It also hangs...
How to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance, any help would be appreciated

A: I spent some time working on this problem in a CentOS environment, also on AWS. I was in the same place as you, and ended up being unable to solve it. Opening a ticket with AWS and working with a support rep resulted in the discovery that, as far as I can tell, PM2 requires an interactive terminal session to run some of its commands.
I've opened an issue on the PM2 Github repository, but until that's resolved, your best bet might be to use something like forever instead using the -w and --watchIgnore flags.
This SO answer discusses how to set up watching for a process and ignore certain files in forever.
e: It looks like this was fixed by PM2 developers in late 2016 by refactoring the startup system.

Right Stuf Reveals First Aria the Animation Dub Roles
Posted by Samantha Ferreira | Dec 19, 2017 | News Reporting |
Tags: aria the animation, casting, dubbing, hal film maker, kickstarter, nozomi entertainment, right stuf
It's time to meet the first three members of this charming series.
Earlier today, Right Stuf revealed the first three cast members in their English dub for Aria the Animation in a "backers-only" Kickstarter update. The series will star the following:
Akari: Veronica Taylor
Aika: Jessica Calvello
Alice: Tara Tisch-Wallace
Headline Studios' Joe DiGiorgi is directing the adaptation.
Taylor and Calvello were both confirmed to be attached to the project over the course of the Kickstarter, which closed on September 11. 2,648 backers contributed to the project, with an average contribution of $224.95 per backer. Nozomi started the Kickstarter with an initial goal of $110,000.
Three other cast members were confirmed for the adaptation, though specific roles have yet to be announced:
Lisa Ortiz
Michelle Knotz
Carol Jacobanis
Aria the Animation adapts Kozue Amano's Aria manga. The 2005 series was helmed by Junichi Sato (Kaleido Star, Slayers Premium), who also handled series composition for the project at Hal Film Maker. Makoto Koga (Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, Macross 7 the Movie: The Galaxy's Calling Me!) provided character designs for the series.
Right Stuf describes Aria the Animation as:
In the early 24th century, Mars has been terraformed by mankind into a sparkling planet covered in water. Akari Mizunashi, at the age of 15, has left everything behind to travel to that reborn world, now known as Aqua. More than anything, Akari wants to be an "undine" – a female gondolier who navigates the canals of the Aquan city of Neo-Venezia. As she begins her training with the prestigious Aria Company, will she be up to the challenges that await her on the path to achieve her dream?

Almost three-quarters of the Australian population are still intent on lending a hand to those doing it tough – both at home and overseas.
Spirit of Christmas alive and well in Australia: 7 in 10 Aussies plan to give to charity this Christmas
9 December 2019: The spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Australia, with an impressive 71% of Australians planning to give to charitable causes this festive season, according to new polling by ChildFund Australia.
Younger Australians most likely to give to charity this Christmas
The results demonstrate the generosity of everyday Australians, with representatives of all age groups planning a donation of food, money or gifts for people in need this Christmas.
Younger Australians are the most likely to give to charity during the festive season, with 78% of people between 18 and 34 saying they plan to give to charity this Christmas, compared to 67% of people aged between 35-54 and 69% of people over 55.
More women (74%) are planning to give to charity than men (67%) this Christmas.
Parents with children still living at home (77%) are more likely to give to charity than those without dependent children (66%).
Australians across geographical locations show the same levels of generosity, with those in cities and regional areas equally likely to give to charity this Christmas.
The polling asked more than 1,000 Australians whether they planned to give to charity by making a donation, donating food for a hamper, buying a gift for a child in need, giving a donation as a gift for family, friends or colleagues, or buying from an online gift store run by a charity.
A reminder of what generous people Australians are
ChildFund Australia CEO Nigel Spence said the results are an important reminder of what generous people Australians are.
"During the last year, many Australians have faced significant hardships due to a range of extreme weather events.
"Yet this research shows that almost three-quarters of our population are still intent on lending a hand to those doing it tough – both at home and overseas.
"We often talk about generosity being an important part of our identity as Australians, and these results are a powerful affirmation of that value.
The results are supported by the World Giving Index, produced annually by the Charities Aid Foundation that, in 2018, ranked Australia 2nd out of 146 countries in terms of its generosity.
"At ChildFund, we know that our supporters are extremely generous, compassionate, and committed to improving the lives of vulnerable children.
"We also know that many individuals lend their support to many charitable organisations, both domestic and international. While supporting bushfire relief efforts in Australia, they may also be helping to ensure that children in the remote villages of Papua New Guinea can go to school."
ChildFund's Gifts for Good Catalogue
This festive season, 2 in every 5 Australians plan to give a donation as a gift to family, friends or colleagues.
ChildFund Australia's Gifts for Good Christmas Catalogue allows everyday Australians to buy scholarships, first aid kits, water filters, farm animals and warm jackets for vulnerable children and families in developing communities.
There is a huge range to choose from, and it can all be ordered online. Each gift comes with a card which can be given to your loved ones.
Nigel Spence, ChildFund Australia CEO said: "Australians spend a lot of money each year on presents that go unused.
"That's why we're encouraging them to think about buying a gift that will fulfil an important need for children living in developing countries.
"This could be an item that is life-saving – like mosquito nets which prevent malaria. Or it could be a gift that is life-changing – like a bike to help a child in a remote village travel the long distance to school.
"Australians are incredibly generous, and never more so than at Christmas. Not only are they willing to give, last Christmas 1 in 2 people told us they would also be happy to receive a donation on their behalf as a gift.
"These gifts will bring a long-lasting and positive impact for children and families living in some of the world's most disadvantaged communities." Mr Spence said.
