OH CARSON, MY CARSON
A photo personally autographed to this writer by Johnny Carson in the 1970s.
86 years ago today, on Friday, October 23, 1925, a woman named Ruth Carson gave birth to a son in Corning, Iowa… but Johnny was on vacation, so Ruth gave birth to Joey Bishop!
I couldn't resist. That joke has been around for decades.
The house in Corning, Iowa where Johnny Carson was born on October 23, 1925.
But truly, the "King of Late Night," was born on this date in this house, in 1925. John William Carson was born to Homer and Ruth Carson, and he would go on to leave a gigantic imprint on the world of television.
Although born in Corning Johnny didn't stay there long. Due to Homer's job with a utility company the Carson family moved quite a bit. After relocating to several western Iowa towns, the Carsons eventually settled in Norfolk, Nebraska. It was in this classic version of small-town America that Johnny began performing. And it was in this home that Johnny grew up.

After learning magic young Johnny appeared around town as The Great Carsoni and built the foundation for his career.
Johnny Carson clowns around with his mentor and boss, Red Skelton.
Years later, his first big break came as a writer for Red Skelton. When Skelton got hurt during a rehearsal Carson went on in his place. CBS executives took note and soon Carson was host of "The Johnny Carson Show."
By the late 1950s Johnny was based in New York and hosting a game show. The show was originally called "Do You Trust Your Wife?" but later became "Who Do You Trust?"

As you all know, Johnny Carson went on to host "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992. In his almost 30 years at the helm Carson turned "The Tonight Show" into an institution. It became a nightly "must-see" for many and Johnny Carson himself became a barometer of public opinion.

Carson left "The Tonight Show" in 1992 and pretty much retired from public life. He died on January 23, 2005 after a long battle with emphysema.
Johnny Carson became one of television's biggest stars ever, but he never forgot his hometown of Norfolk, Nebraska. Carson donated nearly $5-million to various causes in Norfolk and the people there returned his love. So if you stop in at the Elkhorn Valley Museum in Norfolk, be sure to see the Johnny Carson Gallery there.

FROM WACO TO WACKO
66 years ago today, on Tuesday, August 14, 1945 actor/writer/producer/comedian Steve Martin was born in Waco, Texas.
Steve Martin autograph signed on October 23, 1976
He began performing while still in his teens and by the time he was 22 he was writing comedy for network TV shows. Between 1967 and 1973 Steve Martin worked as a writer on half a dozen comedy variety series including "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," "The Summer Brothers Smothers Show," "Pat Paulsen's Half a Comedy Hour," "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," "The Ken Berry 'Wow' Show," and "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour." He was also a featured performer on several of those shows, as well as on "The Ray Stevens Show" in the summer of 1970.
I still remember the first time I saw Steve Martin on TV. It was on NBC on a Saturday night at 11:30pm, but I wasn't watching "Saturday Night Live." In fact, that show hadn't even been created yet. I was watching the program that "SNL" replaced: reruns of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."
It was that first appearance on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" in 1973 that brought Martin some national attention. His first appearance as host of "Saturday Night Live" in 1976 sealed the deal and made him a comedy "rock star." I was in the audience for that show. In fact, I got his autograph earlier that day, on the back of my admission slip for the PSAT exam.
What's on the other side of Steve Martin's autograph? The date on my admission slip for the PSAT exam, which was administered that morning.
So, while many people were introduced to Steve Martin on October 23, 1976, I was already a fan.
But in addition to lots of laughs, I also remember a very touching moment provided by Steve Martin on the day Gilda Radner died (May 20, 1989). Martin was hosting "Saturday Night Live" that night and I was in the audience. When he introduced a clip of he and Gilda dancing in an old sketch it was quite moving. Martin, and most of the audience, seemed to be holding in some emotions.
Although Martin has never starred in his own series his career is a product of TV. From his roots as a writer… to his TV specials and guest appearances… to his hosting the Academy Awards broadcast… Steve Martin is a TV star.
He has now hosted "Saturday Night Live" a record 15 times (tied with Alec Baldwin) and prior to abandoning standup he starred in four network comedy specials for NBC: "Steve Martin: A Wild and Crazy Guy" in 1978, "Steve Martin: Comedy Is Not Pretty" and "All Commercials–A Steve Martin Special" both in 1980, and 1981's "Steve Martin's Best Show Ever."
Happy Birthday to Steve Martin, the TV star (and movie star, playwright, musician, novelist, and art collector). Thanks for everything.

25 years ago on Tuesday, May 6, 1986, the Fox Broadcasting Corporation announced that comedienne Joan Rivers would host a late night talk show on the new network: "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers."
Flanked by FOX Chairman Barry Diller and FOX President Jamie Kellner, Rivers was introduced as the first "face" of FOX. But she had not yet broken the news to her current employer… and the fallout from that move is legendary.
First, a little background: Before Jay Leno became host of "The Tonight Show" (the first time) he had been Johnny Carson's permanent guest host on the show. But before Johnny had Jay, Johnny had Joan. Joan Rivers was the first permanent guest host in the history of Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." Prior to that, dozens of stars had filled in for the "King of Late Night" over the years – some more often than others (Joey Bishop and David Brenner to name two).
When Carson heard the news that Joan Rivers was leaving to compete against him, it seems he took it personally. He apparently felt Rivers should have told him before the announcement was made. When Joan called Johnny afterwards, she claims he refused to take the call. The two never spoke again. So… did they live happily ever after? Not exactly.
Surviving souvenir from "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers"
"The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers" premiered on FOX, Monday October 9, 1986 at 11:00pm, but as every competitor to Johnny Carson had learned, it wasn't easy to beat the king. The ratings for "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers" were never big and Joan Rivers only hosted the show for seven months. Her last "Late Show" was May 15, 1987.
But much worse than the losing "The Late Show" was the loss of Rivers' husband. Edgar Rosenberg had been an executive producer of "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers." Three months after Joan was fired by FOX Rosenberg committed suicide. He had been suffering from clinical depression.
Joan went on to have a syndicated daytime talk show, "The Joan Rivers Show"… then hosted numerous red-carpet shows with her daughter Melissa Rivers for E! and the TV Guide Channel.
Currently she hosts "Fashion Police" on E!… and can be seen selling her line of clothing, jewelry and accessories on QVC.
TV viewers may also have recently watched mother and daughter in season one of their new reality show, "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" on WE tv.
Joan Rivers has also added several notable catchphrases to the American lexicon: "Can we talk?" (which I'm told is a Federal trademark) and her red-carpet question, "Who are you wearing?" which is now said by just about every red-carpet host everywhere.
But on this date, 25 years ago, Joan Rivers was introduced as the FOX network's first big star. Only she knows if she would do it all again if given the chance.

QUINCY MADISON
89 years ago, on Thursday, April 27, 1922, Jacob "Jack" Klugman was born in Philadelphia. Although best known to TV audiences as Oscar Madison, the sloppy half of "The Odd Couple," his other well-known series "Quincy, M.E." actually ran for more seasons (7 to 5) and produced more episodes (148 to 114).
Klugman began to act after serving in World War II. His early TV appearances include multiple episodes of famed series like "Inner Sanctum," "Studio One," and "Playhouse 90." Jack Klugman was a working actor, but when he was cast in the TV version of "The Odd Couple" he became a star. While the show achieved some popularity during its run on ABC (1970-1975), it was in syndication that the show really caught fire.
Postcard sent to fans of ABC's "The Odd Couple" in the 1970s.
In 1993 I interviewed Klugman and Tony Randall in Central Park while they were filming scenes for "The Odd Couple: Together Again" reunion movie. It was about three years after Klugman had surgery for throat cancer, and it left him with a slight and raspy voice. But I was a bit surprised when Klugman was actually apologetic for his inability to answer in full voice. He seemed to be a genuinely nice man.
Reverse side of the same postcard with "autographs" from the stars.
Of course, "The Odd Couple" was followed by "Quincy, M.E." on NBC in which Klugman played Dr. R. Quincy, a medical examiner (or coroner) who had no first name. In the 1980s Klugman went back to sitcoms with NBC's "You Again?" co-starring John Stamos. It lasted just one season.
Happy 89th Birthday Jack. You're an American treasure.

74 years ago, on Tuesday, April 20, 1937 actor George Takei was born in Los Angeles. Although best known for his role as Mr. Sulu in "Star Trek," Takei has hundreds of television appearances to his credit, starting with a live episode of "Playhouse 90" in 1959.
In his 2007 autobiography, To the Stars, Takei says he and his family were among more than 100,000 other Japanese-Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. Takei lived in Camp Rohwer in Arkansas and Camp Tule Lake in northern California.
After the war, the Takeis returned to southern California, where George would eventually earn a masters degree in theater from U.C.L.A. in 1964.
Takei's life would change forever when he was cast as Mr. Sulu in 1965 for the second "Star Trek" pilot.
George Takei autograph signed in NYC, 1973.
The above autograph was signed by George Takei during the 1973 Star Trek Convention at New York's Commodore Hotel. I was 12 years old. What I remember most about our encounter is how George kept repeating to us all, "It's pronounced 'tuh-KAY' as in O.K." Throughout the past 38 years I have occasionally heard people refer to him as George "tuh-KIE" – and I don't know if he ever used this pronunciation. But to the best of my knowledge, from George's own mouth, "It's pronounced 'tuh-KAY' as in O.K."
While some will only remember him as Sulu, George Takei's acting career has lasted more than 50 years. Recently he had a recurring role on NBC's "Heroes" from 2007 to 2010, and this year he joined the cast of Nickelodeon's new series "Supah Ninjas" as Hologramps, the holographic grandfather.
Takei may be the only TV actor (certainly one of the few) with an asteroid named in his honor. In October 2007 the International Astronomical Union's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature approved the official, scientific name of 7307 Takei for the asteroid, which is located between Mars and Jupiter.
According to Takei's own website, he and his husband Brad Altman made television history when they became the first gay couple to appear on "The Newlywed Game" on GSN cable network in October 2009. They won the game and donated their $10,000 prize to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
Happy birthday George… now warp speed to 75!

RADIO GENIUS, TV COMEDIAN
88 years ago, on Monday, March 26, 1923, actor/comedian Bob Elliott was born in Boston. Though he is best-known for his work in radio, Elliott (with comedy partner Ray Goulding) starred in several TV specials and series.
Bob Elliott & Ray Goulding in the studios of WOR (AM), December 1974.
In 1946 Ray Goulding was hired to read the news for a morning show Bob Elliott was hosting on WHDH in Boston. That fateful pairing would result in a 15 minute radio show called "Matinee with Bob and Ray" and eventually their partnership as the comedy team of Bob & Ray.
Their television careers began on Monday November 26, 1951 when "Bob & Ray" (or "The Bob and Ray Show") premiered on NBC. Joining them in sketches and spoofs in this 15 minute program was Audrey Meadows. She was replaced by Cloris Leachman, who was then replaced by Audrey Meadows. The show lasted two years.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob & Ray on three separate occasions, which are detailed in my previous post. Each time they were gracious and generous.
Bob & Ray in their WOR radio studio, December 1974, joined by students Sami Kenigsberg, Paul Messina, and Jerry Seigerman.
In addition to "The Bob and Ray Show," the duo briefly hosted a TV game show and made many TV guest appearances. One highlight was the 1979 late night special, "Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine & Gilda" with Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner, which I attended.
Bob Elliott has also spread his comedic genes to future generations. His son is actor/comedian Chris Elliott and his granddaughter is "Saturday Night Live" cast member Abby Elliott.
In fact, for two seasons (1990-1992) Bob Elliott portrayed the father of his real-life son Chris in the FOX sitcom "Get a Life."
Autographs in the book: "To Paul – Cheers! Bob Elliott" and "To Paul, All the Best, Ray Goulding"
Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding were inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1984. "The Bob and Ray Show" was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.
While Ray Goulding died of kidney failure in 1990, at the age of 68, Bob Elliott is alive and well and living on Long Island. Today we salute Bob wish him a Happy Birthday.
You can send a birthday greeting to Bob Elliott at: bob@bobandray.com
…or send him a note at: P.O. Box 53, Planetarium Station, New York, NY 10024-0053. I'm told Bob usually answers his mail.
Happy Birthday Bob… and thank you.

THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING
89 years ago, on Monday, March 20, 1922, actor/comedian Ray Goulding was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. Though he is best-known for his work in radio, Goulding (with comedy partner Bob Elliott) starred in several TV specials and series.
Ray Goulding in the studios of WOR (AM) in December 1974.
Ray Goulding started his career as an announcer on WLLH radio in Lowell around 1939, and then moved to WEEI in Boston just a year later. After serving in World War II, Goulding was hired to read the news for a morning show hosted by Bob Elliott on WHDH in Boston. That fateful pairing would result in a 15 minute radio show called "Matinee with Bob and Ray" and eventually their partnership as the comedy team of Bob & Ray.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob & Ray on three separate occasions.
The first time was in December 1974 in the studios of WOR radio. The comedy legends were nice enough to agree to be interviewed by 3 junior high school students. I was one of them. If you look closely we're wearing "Wally Ballou for Mayor" buttons given to us that day by Bob & Ray.
The second time we met was in 1979. The photos we took in 1974 gained us access to Bob & Ray's dressing room after their masterful performance in the NBC late night comedy special "Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine & Gilda." That's when Bob & Ray were kind enough to autograph these photos.
From Approximately Coast to Coast… It's The Bob and Ray Show published by Atheneum in 1983.
The third, and last, time I met Bob & Ray was in 1983 when they came up to WPIX-TV to be interviewed about their newest book; From Approximately Coast to Coast… It's The Bob and Ray Show. I was working at the station at the time and made sure I bought a copy of their book beforehand so I could get another set of autographs. (And yes, I showed them the photos from 1974 to let them know we'd met before).
Rarely does one find geniuses to be so gracious and courteous.
Ray Goulding died of kidney failure in 1990. He was 68. Bob Elliott is alive and well and living on Long Island. He will turn 88 next week. But today we honor Ray Goulding for bringing laughter to my world and the world of television.

Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
Acknowledging the unproductive thoughts and ineffective behavior that you've tried to ignore can be uncomfortable. But, stepping out of your comfort zone and choosing to proactively address bad habits will skyrocket your ability to create long-lasting change.
Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment.
Once someone has spent enough time cultivating bad habits and biding their time, they are much diminished. Much of what they could have been has dissipated.
The only proper way to eliminate bad habits is to replace them with good ones.
My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.
I'm a coffee enthusiast. I try not to have too many bad habits.
Any praise goes to my coaches and my teammates. I have the easy part of waking up and going to the gym. They're the ones that have to break my bad habits and teach me new things. They're literally my everything. In my personal life, it's my wife, and in my professional life, it's my coaches and my teammates.
School is a twelve-year jail sentence where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school and win awards doing it. I should know.
I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.
My first offer was when I was 12, and it was for a soap opera. And I turned it down because I knew that I was an unformed actor, and I didn't want to develop bad habits.
The difference between an amateur and a professional is in their habits. An amateur has amateur habits. A professional has professional habits. We can never free ourselves from habit. But we can replace bad habits with good ones.
I know I'm not perfect at giving my body what it needs to refuel after a run. Recognizing my bad habits has helped me pay more attention to what I eat. I have been known to rush through my day without making nutrition a priority, so I work hard to prepare healthy snacks in advance of my runs and while the kids are at school.
A change in bad habits leads to a change in life.
Even the most fickle are faithful to a few bad habits.
While ignoring your bad habits may help you feel good initially, that avoidance will eventually catch up to you. When you don't address the unproductive and unhealthy things you're doing alongside your good habits, you'll stagnate.
I don't have any bad habbits. They might be bad habits for other people, but they're all right for me.

A new exhibition is opening this week at October Gallery by Nnenna Okore. This will be her third solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition is described as: "The proverbial Igbo axiom Ụkwa Ruo Oge Ya Ọ Daa, references the theatrical falling of breadfruit from the mother tree. The plummet of this tropical fruit, known in Igbo as Ukwa, not only indicates the height of its ripening phase, it also sparks the genesis of a new trajectory - the decaying stage. Symbolically the fallen Ukwa represents metamorphic processes that are constantly injected into the natural cycle to establish cosmic balance and planetary order. These fascinating twists and turns bring into being new realities, seasons, chapters, formations and systems". There will be a private view on Wednesday, please RSVP at press@octobergallery.co.uk.
Victoria Miro is presenting the first in a new series of works by Stan Douglas that are triggered by the uprisings of the early 2010s, including the Arab Spring and riots across global locations including London and the artist's home town of Vancouver, these photographs focus on scenes associated with events in August 2011, when thousands of people rioted across London boroughs: in Tottenham, where protests started following the shooting by police of Mark Duggan, and Hackney Downs, where events were focused around the Pembury Estate.
As part of October's Uniqlo Tate Late evening celebrating SUPERFLEX's 2017 Hyundai Commission for the Turbine Hall, Tate Modern will present three of the collective's short films in a free display. The films, made between 2008 and 2013, centre on modes of catharsis and release for the anxieties prompted by the quickly changing economic and political landscapes in Europe. The presentation will include the following three short films: The Burning Car, The Financial Crisis and The Working Life.

On a Saturday night this past spring, screeching dissonant guitars and a clashing, heavy-handed beat could be heard filling a dark bar in downtown Oakland. If one were to have peaked their head in, they would have been surprised to find the noise coming from just two people: drummer Ignat Frege (@hand_model) and multi-instrumentalist Felix Skinner (@felixskinner).
This is Caption
The two make up Wreck and Reference, a metal band from Los Angeles that defies most of the traditional trappings of metal bands. There is no guitar on stage, no bassist. Only two musicians, one of who, Felix, elicits piercing, guttural screams into the microphone while striking the pads on an electronic sampler strapped around his neck.
"It was clear early on that the possibilities that it provided were limitless, that it would allow us to run with any mad idea we had," says Felix, 28, about his use of a tool more closely aligned with electronic and hip-hop music than metal. "We're typically drawn to sounds that aren't traceable, that require a bit of wrangling and warping to make just right."
Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Felix began taking guitar lessons at the age of 10. But he was more intrigued in going against the grain with his music than submitting to any prescribed notion of what things were supposed to sound like. He refused to practice the Dave Matthews Band songs his teacher asked him to memorize.
"I was more interested in the strange sounds I could create by hitting the parts of the guitar I was told not to, using my pick to scrape instead of pluck," he says. "In retrospect, it's clear this was just a way for me to cope with the fact that my fingers never did what I wanted them to."
The harsh, unforgiving tones that would eventually make up the sounds of Wreck and Reference go hand-in-hand with the photos Felix likes to take: haunting, captionless images tinted black and gray and red. But when it comes to writing music, it's more about sensations than images for him, creating songs about unsettling feelings. It's about tapping into an emotion, no matter if the sound that comes out fits into someone's built-up perception of a musical genre.
"We're just as averse to being a 'synth band' or an 'electronic band' as we are to being a 'guitar band,'" he says. "As soon as we find ourselves in a box like that we're overcome by the urge to kick our way out."

I had the opportunity to try Cedar Lake for the first time on a cloudy but calm fall day in early October. At this time of year in Minnesota, bass can be found concentrated in either shallow or deep water. I was just going to have to try both to find out where they were.
I put my boat in at the ramp on Calhoun Lake and trolling motored my way through the canals to Cedar Lake. The water in Calhoun was very clear but once I entered Lake of the Isles the water became quite murky, and when I finally got to Cedar Lake the water was very clear again. It seemed like it must have taken me about a half an hour to make that trip, but maybe it wasn't really that long.
As I positioned my boat near a large underwater point in about 18 feet of water where I wanted to start fishing, I noticed that there were a lot of small bream or sunfish mouthing the surface of the water. That is usually a good sign that there may be bass below them that are feeding on them from time to time.
I had a spinnerbait all rigged up and ready so I started out by casting it around and through the area that the bait fish were swimming in and that's how I managed to catch my first bass of the day. It was an above average size fish too. I couldn't get any others to hit the spinnerbait so I switched to a jig that I had rigged up with a grub for a trailer and started fishing the deep weed line with that.
After working that same point, and quite a bit of other shoreline, I caught the biggest bass that I had caught so far that year on any of my TV shows. Later I caught the most spotted bass I have ever caught in my entire life. I caught several other bass as well and had a very productive and fun day on Cedar Lake. I had so much fun fishing the Jig on the deep weed line that I never did get a chance to see if there were any bass in shallow water.
watch the video below and learn how to catch bass that are feeding on schooling baitfish.

Матти́я Касса́ни (; ) — итальянский футболист, игравший на позиции защитника. Бывший игрок сборной Италии.

Карьера
Маттия Кассани — воспитанник клуба «Ювентус», во время игры за молодёжный состав которого считался одним из лучших игроков клуба. 13 ноября 2002 года Кассани дебютировал в основном составе «Старой Синьоры», заменив Марсело Саласа в гостевом матче Лиги чемпионов с киевским «Динамо». В январе 2003 года Кассани был отдан в аренду в клуб «Сампдория». 12 мая 2003 года он дебютировал, в составе клуба, в матче серии А с «Тернаной», а всего провёл 2 игры. Причиной малого количества минут стали Стефано Саккетти и Ненад Сакич, имевшие твёрдое место в основе команды. В июне 2003 года Кассани вернулся в «Ювентус».

Летом 2003 года Кассани был арендован «Вероной», с возможностью ежегодного продления срока аренды. Всего он провёл в клубе 3 года, став твёрдым игроком стартового состава команды. Также там он получил прозвище «Дзамбротта-младший».

В сезоне 2006/07 Кассани перешёл в «Палермо».

Local interstitial radiation remedy of intrinsic and inaccessible mind tumors is faced with significant difficulties: 1. The tolerance of ordinary mind tissue, that is frequently thinking about neighborhood tumor irradiation, i.e. perifocal white subject edema and demyelinating results, is important. 2. information on radiation results of implanted radioactive resources on neoplastic tissue, i.e. facts at the radiosensitivity and at the biology of tumors, are nonetheless greatly unavailable. In medical perform the dose with which to accomplish a given quantity of tumor necrosis is approximately expected. This file bargains with the experimental findings of Iodine-125 and Iridium-I92 everlasting implants in fit and neoplastic mind tissue. Our personal experimental findings are correlated with experimental information on Yttnul11-l)O irradiation from the literature. The research is directed to gather information at the tolerance non-tumoral mind tissue and to aim to set up a dose-response courting. Morphologic adjustments within the puppy mind Following Interstitial Iodine-125 Irradiation Iodine-I25 seeds (manufactured through three M corporation, St. Paul, M.

One animal with a non-radioactive seed implanted lower than comparable operative stipulations served as a keep an eye on. The animals have been allowed to outlive 25, forty six, seventy one, ninety four, 248, 368 days, respectively, after the implantation. The regulate animal survived forty six days. an in depth description of the experimental technique is given somewhere else sixteen. 17.
Spinal wire stimulators (SCS) are implantable clinical units used to regard continual ache of neurologic beginning, equivalent to sciatica, intractable again discomfort, and diabetic.

Turkey in new financing for country's largest NPL firm
EBRD and ICBC Turkey in new financing for country's largest NPL firm
Debut syndication aims to attract new lenders to the sector
In a move to support innovation in Turkey's financial sector, the EBRD is providing a syndicated loan of 120 million Turkish lira (€36 million equivalent) to Hayat Varlık, the largest non-performing loans (NPL) and asset management company in the country.
Hayat Varlık has recently merged with Turkasset Varlik Yonetim A.S., previously the biggest player in the market and a long-standing partner of the EBRD.
The funds will partly re-finance the company's maturing debt and enable new NPL acquisitions from financial institutions in the coming years.
The investment will facilitate new lending within the economy and help financially challenged companies to become economically active. This will help boost the resilience of Turkish corporates, small and medium-sized enterprises, the financial sector and the economy as a whole.
Resilience is among the six transition qualities the EBRD has identified as the characteristics of a successful economy, along with competitiveness, green, inclusion, good governance and integration.
Half of the EBRD's loan is syndicated to the Turkish subsidiary of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC Turkey). As the first syndication of a loan to an NPL asset management company in the country, it will diversify Hayat Varlık's investor base and lengthen the maturity profile of its funding base.
Hilmi Güvenal, the CEO of the newly consolidated Hayat Varlık, said: "Since 2009 we have grown to 800,000 customers, a portfolio of 8.5 billion TRY and 600 employees under the Turkasset brand. The powerful combination of a robust shareholding structure, solid lenders, advanced technology and a people-focused business approach has also made us the subject of a Harvard Business School case study. Building on these achievements, we will continue our journey as a strong new company under the name of Hayat Varlık. The syndicated loan provided by the EBRD and ICBC is an important sign of international investors' confidence in both our company and the Turkish economy."
Jean-Patrick Marquet, EBRD Managing Director for Turkey, commented: "With this transaction we are broadening Hayat Varlık's access to long-term local-currency funding. We are particularly delighted to have brought along such a major lender as ICBC to what is a new asset class for them. This a pioneering syndicated loan structure in the Turkish NPL market and we hope to attract more interest to the sector."
Xu Keen, ICBC Turkey Chairman added: "This landmark transaction is our third joint project with the EBRD in Turkey. As the first Chinese bank active in the country, we are seeking further investment opportunities alongside leading financial institutions and large corporates to continue supporting the Turkish economy. Our goal is to become one of the major financial institutions providing long-term financing to Turkish and international investors."
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the world's largest bank, entered the Turkish financial market by acquiring Tekstilbank, a local lender, in May 2015.
The EBRD started investing in Turkey in 2009 and currently operates from offices in Istanbul, Ankara and Gaziantep. The country is a top destination for the Bank's finance, with €1.9 billion invested in 2016 alone. To date, the Bank has invested over €9 billion in Turkey through more than 220 projects across sectors and has mobilised nearly €20 billion for these ventures from other sources of financing. Some 98 per cent of the Bank's investments in Turkey are in the private sector.
The EBRD invested in a 12.3 per cent stake of Turkasset in 2011 and retains its stake in the newly merged company. It has previously provided a €27 million loan to Turkasset and has invested a total of TL 61 million (€19.5 million) in four issuances of its bonds.
Established in 2008, Turkasset has a 31 per cent market share in the sector where it operates. It holds assets of €253 million and total equity of €90 million as of end-2016.

Officials of the Province
Saint Dominic de Guzman
In the Provincial Chapter of our Province decided to open a new mission in Taiwan on January 12, 1626. Provincial, Fr. Bartolomé Martínez, accompanied by five other religious, arrived in northern Taiwan on May 10, 1626. They founded nine missions, from 7,000 baptized with some religious who arrived until 1642. During these sixteen years thirty-five missionaries passed through Taiwan, some of whom later left for Japan and other Asian lands. This first stage of Dominican presence ended in 1642, date in which the missionaries were taken prisoner to Batavia (Jakarta).
The mission was restored in the south of the island in 1859. The new mission would depend on Monsignor Miguel Calderón, Vicar Apostolic of Foochow. Father Ignacio Ortuzar, Provincial Vicar in Fukien, sent Fr. Ángel Bufurull and Fr. Fernando Sáinz, together with a former seminarian and three catechists who arrived in Kaohsiung on May 18, 1859. Since then, our Fathers have worked uninterruptedly in the mission. From this date, many of our apostolic institutions were ceded to the successive dioceses, while the Vicariate was creating new parish and mission areas
Foundation of the Vicariate
The Province Council created the new Vicariate of Taiwan of August 7, 1860. It appointed Fr. Mariano Antón as the first Vicar. In January 1861 he arrived at Chieng-Kim and built the first vicarial house there. He returned to Amoy for health reasons in November of the same year. Fr. F. Sainz was appointed second Vicar in December 1961. In his ten years as a missionary, founded the missions of Chieng-Kim (Kaohsiung Cathedral), Soa-Kha, Ban-Kim, Kau-a-ki and Tainan.
In the time of Fr. Sainz, the PP arrived at the mission. M. Limárquez, M. Antón, A. Chinchón, F. Herce, R. Colomer, V. Jiang and J. Janh, Tunquino. During the vicarage of Fr. Chinchón, the missions of Gotechu, Soa-lun-á and Lo-Tsu were founded. He was appointed bishop of Amoy in 1884. During the vicariate of Fr. Herce the missions of Tou-Liu, Tou-Nan, Pokiu-lun and the northern missions were founded.
Father Caledonio Arranzfounded in the north the missions of Lu Chou, that of Taipei (current cathedral) and Tamsui in 1887.
Japanese time
In 1895, upon the arrival of the Japanese, Fr. Isidoro Clemente was Vicar, later bishop of Amoy. The main missions of the Island were formed and consolidated; despite the small number of missionaries, 6 in total, there were already Catechists and Beatas.
Fr. Francisco Giner built an orphanage putting three Dominican nuns at the head in 1903,. It lasted until the Pacific War. Also in that same year, the Province gave the mission a printing press with which a series of religious books were printed in Roman letters, as well as the monthly magazine The Good Shepherd. Likewise, the School for Catechists was founded in Lo-Tsu; then it would be done in Taipei, Tainan, Touliu, Tianchung and Kaohsiung.
Fr. Justo Sasián founded the mission of Tien-Chung and Peh-Hun In 1905 in 1905. Fr. C. Arranz built the first church in the city of Taipei, which disappeared in 1911. In 1913, Fr. Clemente Fernández inaugurated another one in its place that would be demolished in 1945 by American bombs. Now the Cathedral is located there.
Prefecture in Taiwan
Fr. Clemente Fernández, OP, was appointed first Apostolic Prefect of Formosa, separating himself from the Apostolic Vicariate of Amoy by decree of the Holy See of July 13, 1913,. Monsignor Clemente Fernández inaugurated the Beata Imelda College, currently governed by the MM. Dominicans in 1917.
In 1920, Monsignor Clemente Fernández resigned his post as Apostolic Prefect. Fr. Tomás de la Hoz missionary in Shikoku succeeding him in 1921. The missions of Tiek-San and Chiang-Hoa were founded in 1925-1927.
At the same time of Fr. F. Sainz had built an small church in Kaohsiung in 1930 Fr. Elías Fernández built the Cathedral and Minor Basilica; the missions of Mei-shan, 1931; Killung, 1932; Tso-Ying, 1933; Shih-Ting, 1934; Ka-Gi, 1936.
Monseñor Tomás de la Hoz, resigned his post, being appointed. A Japanese priest , José Satowaki Asajiro took his place in 1941.
War of the Pacific, 1941-1945
During this period the missionaries suffered the serious consequences of the war. They were all concentrated in different places in the center of the Island: Ka-gi, Chiu-á-kha. He did not enjoy any freedom; Several churches suffered material damage, including the one of Taipei, it was bombed. At that time the mission had thirteen Spanish Dominicans, twelve missionary residences, twenty-six missionary stations, a Holy Childhood, a higher school, eleven Dominican religious and a total of nine thousand five hundred Christians. Father José Arregui was appointed Apostolic Prefect in 1948.
Division of Prefectures
Taipei Prefecture was established in 1949.Tai-Chung and Kagi in 1950. Hua-lien in 1952. Tainan in 1961. By making these divisions, we leave almost all our missions in these prefectures without any reward. Monsignor Arregui remained Prefect in Kaohsiung until 1961, when he resigned.
During these years the mission experienced considerable progress. Several missionaries from China arrived, accounting for a total of thirty-five Spanish and Chinese Dominicans between the years 1948-1958. In 1953 the evangelization with the natives began with twenty-three new missions based in the mounts of the south. Also, the mission of the city of Pingtung began, and from then until the present, it remains exclusively Dominican in 1953.
the College of Santo Domingo was founded In 1957. the Hospital of Tainan was inaugurated in 1958. the mission of Chishan was opened in 1956. the Church and Casa Vicaría was built in Kaohsiung in 1966.
The Diocese of Kaohsiung was created in 1961, with Fr. José Cheng, OP, the first bishop who governed the Diocese until his death in 1990. Pope John Paul II granted the title of Minor Basilica to the Parish Church of Ban-Kim to Bishop José Cheng in 1984; the Ministry of the Interior of Taiwan declared the Basilica National Monument of third order in the same year. the second bishop of the diocese, Fr. Paul Shan, SJ, took office in 1991,
Vicariate General Queen of China - Taipei
The Master of the Order, Fr. Vicente de Couesnongle, erected the Queen General of China Vicariate on June 16, 1978. With this motive, the Province gave them the College of Santo Domingo; and later, he would give them the house and parish of Chi-lin-lú, in Taipei in 1992.
Mission today
The Provincial Vicariate of San José in Taiwan ceased to exist as such on January 31, 2016. It acquired a new juridical personality as "Provincial Mission" according with the new legislation of the Order on February 1, 2016.
Currently the Fathers of this Mission work apostolically in the diocese of Kaohsiung, in three parishes of the Order, in the diocese of Tainan, in a parish of the Order. A total of five parishes are administered: 4 of them from the Order and one diocesan. We run a kindergarten.

Data transfer options for the q-Status™ Windows collection scripts support using secure copy. The following outlines how to set up such an option which will automatically transfer the collected data to the q-status™ Windows web server to the data/ directory.
Note: The ANT transfer method provided in q-Status™ Windows is the same type of secure data transfer where data is encrypted when sent. the ANT transfer method does not require that ssh be installed on the Windows server (e.g. putty). The ANT transfer method is much easier to configure and does not require that ssh pairs be enabled that would allow changing to that user to obtained access to the q-Status™ web server without using a password.
that Putty (ssh software) be installed or distributed to each Windows client server and placed in the q-Status™ Windows bin\ directory.
that the transfer bat file 'sshXFER.bat' be edited to add transfer configuration parameters (e.g. q-Status™ Web server named, transfer user and directory location where data is to be sent).
that a q-Status™ transfer user be create on each Windows client matching the same transfer user on the q-Status™ Web server.
that a public and private key generate for this user for each Windows client server.
that the Windows created public key be modified to match a Unix/Linux implementation for the q-Status™ Windows Web Server.
that the public key be added to the transfer user's "authorized_keys"
LogiQwest provides a zip file of all the collection scripts and programs (including putty) required for q-Status™ Windows support for automatic secure copy transfer of q-Status™ Windows data to a q-Status™ Web Server. Downlowd collection scripts and programs by clicking HERE ( ) 553kb.
LogiQwest provides two downloads with q-Status™ Windows from this site that are required to create an automated ssh transfer processes through a bat script.
pscp.exe - A windows implementation of scp.
puttygen.exe - A Windows implementation ssh-keygen to create the private and public keys.
Place these software programs in the C:\Program Files\Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsDesktop\ directory for Windows Desktop architecture and C:\Program Files \Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsServer\ directory for Windows server architecture.
hostname or ip address of q-status™ Windows web server.
To implement SSH transfer requires the creation of a transfer user.
To enable ANT or ssh collection processes, requires that a q-Status™ transfer user be established on the q-Status™ web server. This can be accomplished using useradd. In our example, we will established a q-Status™ transfer user home directory as q-statusLinux directory of web server (e.g. /var/www/html). Below is an example using useradd and creating a password for that user on the q-Status™ Web server.
Changing password for user qstatus.
When q-Status™ is delivers, it has set user and group as 70:70. In some Unix system this group and user is already defined as user and group as www:www or something else. Sometimes this group and user already exist on a Linux system. The customization of this user can group is left to the user.
The qStatus™ user is set to run as a Bourne shell. Make use the default shell is Bourne.
Make sure the directory is owned by the q-Status™ user. Create the .ssh directory using ssh-keygen. For now we don't want to use the created keys, but ssh creates all required directories and files and sets the appropriate ownerships.
Your identification has been saved in /home/qstatus/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/qstatus/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
drwxr-xr-x   3 qstatus  www          512 Jan 13 17:53 .
drwxr-xr-x  12 root     root         512 Jan 13 15:37 ..
Under the Windows "User Accounts" GUI create a transfer user with "Administrative" privileges on each Windows Client. Privileges is very important particularly in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
Assign the same password to this user as on the q-Status™ Web server.
Login to each Windows client server as the transfer user and create a private and public key pair using puttygen.exe. You can use the Windows Explorer and change to the q-Status™ install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsDesktop\ directory for Windows Desktop architecture and C:\Program Files \Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsServer\ directory for Windows server architecture). Then double click on puttygen.exe.
Select SSH2 RSA as the key type and use 1024 bits for the key length. Click on Generate.
Move the mouse over the Putty blank area as requested to create some random numbers for the key files. After that your keys will be created. Now save the keys.
Click on "Save public key" and on "Save private key" to write the generated keys to file. Don't enter a key passphrase when prompted or the automation will not work.
Call the files "%computername%.pub.ppk" and "%computername%.prv.ppk" and store them in the install directory C:\Program Files\Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsDesktop\ directory for Windows Desktop architecture and C:\Program Files \Logiqwest\q-statusWindowsServer\ directory for Windows server architecture). These names are very important. Do not change them. Finally exit puttygen.exe.
Next log into the Windows server as the administrative user. You need to copy the key file to the q-Status™ Web server the public key (e.g. %computername%.pub.ppk) and convert it to the Unix/Linux ssh format. After that the key can be registered in the ssh authorized_keys file.
On the q-Status™ Window client open a DOS or Powershell terminal and copy the public key file to the q-Status™ Web server using pscp.exe command from the command line.
Note: The prompt to store the "ssh-rsa key" in the Putty Cache, must be answered just once as yes and must be accomplished by the administrative user to automate the process by a bat file.
Login to the q-Status™ Web server and convert the key file to the Unix ssh format. In the .ssh directory of the q-Status transfer user, edit the copied public key files from Windows to convert it to Unix format.
The key file needs to contain one line only starting with ssh-rsa, a space followed by the key with no line breaks and ending with <user@q-status-server>. You can use the id_rsa.pub file in the same .ssh directory compare created by ssh-keygen. At the end concat the content of your "<hostname>.pub.ppk" to the authorized_keys file used by ssh.
You have now configured ssh to accept logins without prompting for a password from the q-Status™ client using the private key. That makes it possible to copy the client data automatically.
To create other client server logins to the q-status™ Windows web server, concat (>>) the "authorized_keys" file with other public keys from other client servers that have been transferred with different names and repeat the step above on the q-status™ Windows web server.
To test the connect, try to copy the key file from transfer server again, using pscp command and the "-i" parameter. Through this parameter you tell putty to use the specified key.
If you are not prompted for a password, everything is configured correctly. Otherwise it might be helpful to view the log files to find out the reason, why the login was not accepted.
To enable the transfer batch file, comment out the line in the list_configs.bat and list_configs_disks.bat files. Make sure to assign the parameters in the sshXFER.bat.
Data will then automatically be transferred each time the scheduler runs the data collection.
Note: Since the public and private keys are stored in the q-Status™ Windows program, the q-Status™ user can be removed from the Windows server and the scp copy will still continue to function.
To automate the process, simply add an entry to the server client Scheduled Tasks. This can be accomplished by accessing the Windows Scheduler Manually or by run the bat program that automatically sets them up.
Two Schedule task are required. One that called list_config.bat and the other that calls list_config_disks.bat. Typically list_config.bat is called once a day and list_config_disks.bat is called every hour.
Click on "Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Scheduled Tasks" to start the Windows Scheduler.
This bat file will add the two required tasks. Edit this bat file to change the time the schedule performs the task.
Note: You can remove the two schedules by running the q-status_delete_schtasks.bat in the same directory.
Click on "Add Scheduled Task" to start the wizard.
as the Program to schedule.
After that define the user you want to execute the collection program.
Finally set the frequency and time you want the data to be collected.
Note: In the q-statusWindows Directory is a bat script called "q-status_add_schtashs.bat". This came be execute to add the schedule, but does need to be modified for the specific environment. This bat file is currently unsupported.
Wait for the next runtime and verify that it is working. At this point, automatic collection is enabled and q-status™ Windows will work properly. The installation is complete.
