As you know, we are hard at work planning the CFinNC.com conference. CFinNC is 2 days of jam packed training and sessions on the Adobe platform (CF, Flash, Flex and AIR) and other web development topics. In this time of evaporating training budgets and non-existent funds for conferences, our free conference is the most compelling way to get trained and fired up.
We've opened registration yesterday and are pleased with the results of the last 24 hours. A big goal of the conference is to reach and strengthen existing users of the Adobe platform by offering all levels of content. We have another goal, which is to reach and impress students and developers of alternate platforms on the power and potency of the Adobe platform.
So to reach the first goal, we've opened registration and are initially promoting through the usual Adobe-centric information channels to reach the existing user base. We want to serve the needs of the Adobe platform users as this was our original driving force to start this conference.
To reach the second goal, we'll begin heavy promotion through user group channels, social channels and through a registration drive partnership with DZone.com. This second wave will likely push us to capacity and give us a large attendee base that will be getting their first exposure to the Adobe platforms.
So, if you are interested in coming, and happen to read this post, please decide and register soon. The floodgates open somewhere around September 4th.
The organizers of the CFinNC 2009 Conference are proud to announce the ColdFusion in North Carolina 2009 Conference to be held October 17-18, 2009 on the Centennial Campus of NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. The conference will be aimed at ColdFusion and Flex developers and others who are interested in web design using these technologies.
Registration for the event will be FREE which includes entry to the weekend event and all presentations.
In preparation for this conference, we would like to hear feedback from you and your members on what types of content you would be interested in hearing. We hope to make this conference relative to all levels of developers, so your input will be invaluable.
Please visit our website www.cfinnc.com for more information. We are currently accepting submissions for presentations. If you have a topic you would like to speak on, please go to www.cfinnc.com/page.cfm/presenters for more information.
Please announce this to your members. We are really excited at the opportunity to organize this conference and hope that it will be a useful resource for you and your members.

I'm blogging this before I forget what I did. Sorry if this is jumbled.
The current configuration contains errors and this operation can have unpredictable results. Eclipse RCP Patch 2 for 3.3.1 (3.3.1.v20071204_331) requires feature "org.eclipse.rcp (3.3.1.R33x_r20070802-8y8eE8sEV3Fz0z0GlHJrXvTAUS)". Eclipse RCP Patch 3 for 3.3.1 (3.3.1.v20080102_331) requires feature "org.eclipse.rcp (3.3.1.R33x_r20070802-8y8eE8sEV3Fz0z0GlHJrXvTAUS)"
No matter what I tried to update/install, I'd get these errors and there seemed to be no way around them.
When the Product Configuration box pops up, expand the tree until you see the plugins listed. Some will have red error icons next to them. These are the ones we want to disable.
Click each product identified with a red icon, and click the disable link in the right hand pane.
Once you disable the products with red icons, go try to run your update/install once again. It will work this time!
What can you code in 90 seconds?
I just finished reading an interesting blog post from Raghu, a flex evangelist at Adobe, and was left with the thought, what can I code in 90 seconds?
After daydreaming was over, I came to the realization that I can code nothing in 90 seconds. See, I am a terrible typist. Really really bad. So my 90 seconds would be filled with furious pressing of random keys, followed by several impolite words, then rapid jamming of the backspace key. Certainly nothing award worthy.
Thankfully, Raghu has more skills than I. He and Harish won an award for their 90 seconds worth of coding.
So how did BFusion and BFlex go, you ask?
I am back home now after a very lovely and stimulating weekend at the BFusion/BFlex conference. BFusion and BFlex are back to back 1 day training/conference events held in Bloomington Indiana on the grounds of Indiana University. While some poor misguided souls might think any conference in Indiana would be nothing more than a projector pointed at a sheet hanging in a cornfield, I assure you this was not the case. Far from it.
The BFusion/BFlex event was awesome. Hands Down. The hallmark of a good conference is good organization and the promoters of this conference really put a lot of time into sorting out details. The moment we checked into the hotel we were handed colour coded maps showing important town features like the nearest grocery store, local restaurants, local watering holes and of course, directions to the conference facilities. Registration was simple and efficient. All of us there as Presenters, Instructors and Assistants were given branded polo shirts to wear so students knew who to ask for help. Lunch choices were color coded with the name tag to make finding ones particular choice a little easier. It was clear that our hosts had thought of everything.
The presenters had all the latest equipment at their disposal from dual monster projection screens to the Crestron powered audio/video equipment. The training sessions were stocked with quality instructors and had plenty of helpful assistants floating around the room to help keep the pace. To facilitate the learning environment, each of the rooms had power ports and ethernet jacks available for every seat which means we avoided the typical conference double wammy of running low on batteries and cramming everyone on an overloaded wifi router. Not least to mention, the campus of Indiana University is just simply beautiful!
So frankly, the quality of the event was on par with some of the best run conferences in the business. I am still a little shocked that the crew was able to provide all of the coordination, service and giveaways for free. Oh, thats right, giveaways. I need to talk about the giveaways.
a new copy of John Farrar's book "ColdFusion 8 Developer Tutorial"
...and 4 job offers. Everyone would have to agree that is some awesome conference loot!
All in all, the BFusion/BFlex series is impressive and of tremendous benefit to the community. Many people gained their first exposure to ColdFusion and Flex, others gained new skills and a good time was had by all. A big NoDans.com thank you to Bob Flynn, Prem Radhakrishnan, Michelle Buddie and the rest of the super cool staff for putting on a quality memorable show.
I don't know what they put in the water in Bloomington, Indiana, but the people there are CRAZY. The excellent leadership over at the Bloomington Flex User Group, the Indiana University Flash User Group, and the Indiana University Multimedia User Group have put together a 2 day training/conference event on Flex and ColdFusion for free. That's right, 200 lucky people will get their skills expanded on the hottest technology powering the web today, and won't pay a dime for it.
If you would like to know how to migrate an existing procedurally programmed application into an object oriented one, grab a chair and sit for a while. We'll discuss some sensible guidelines designed to help you make incremental changes towards OO nirvana.
The secret ingredient to modular and maintainable OO applications in ColdFusion is the ColdSpring framework. Efficient and practical use of ColdSpring is easy. In this source code based presentation, we'll cover installation, Dependency Injection, Factories, Configuration, Dynamic Properties, Complex DI Strategies and also look at practical usage inside of production applications.
So if you can make it to Bloomington, IN, Sept 6-7, and want targeted training on Flex and ColdFusion, Sign Up for BFusion/BFlex today!

Jon Bon Jovi Biography
Self-reliance, optimism, and a community are key concepts that define Jon Bon Jovi's music and charitable efforts. The front man for the Grammy Award-winning band Bon Jovi has not only written and performed countless rock anthems, he has utilized his spotlight and raised millions of dollars to aid the working poor, the homeless, and the hungry. After selling more than 130 million albums and performing in over 50 countries for more than 37.5 million fans, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018 in recognition of their longevity and impact on popular music for the past three decades.
Jon is also the Chairman of the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing about positive change and helping those in need "one SOUL at a time." The Soul Foundation funds partnerships that address the issues of food and shelter, benefitting temporary shelters, transitional housing for teens, permanent supporting housing (including housing for vents and special needs populations), and providing home ownership opportunities. In October 2011, the Foundation opened the first JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, NJ, then a second location in Toms River, NJ in 2016. These community restaurants have since served over 80,000 meals.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 3/7/17: 45th Anniversary Pt. II
Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.
"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts and analysis on television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
(Aired 3/7/17)
45th Anniversary Pt. II
– The Eight-Man Tag between Hiroyoshi Tenzan/Satoshi Kojima/Jyushin Thunder Liger/Tomoyuki Oka and Manabu Nakanishi/Ryusuke Taguchi/David Finlay/Hirai Kawato was another mix of up-and-comers with the Young Lions, seemingly an opening tradition. We expected fast, stiff action in only the way trusty New Japan can deliver it. Kawato was apparently roughed up earlier in the day at the press conference by Minoru Suzuki. He threw a dropkick at Liger before the ring introductions could even happen. Damn, the kid's not even 20 years old yet. The Young Lions unleashed chops at each other, because they always do? Interesting note that Kawato also had to put the ring together earlier, even after he was beaten up. Taguchi "hotly" tagged in with about nine hip attacks to spare. Nakanishi/Oka had another showdown, which followed up their match the previous night. Nakanishi made Oka tap out to the Torture Rack to get the win. We also liked how Commentator Kevin Kelly covered other aspects of Young Lion life, like receiving a limited offensive moveset and black trunks/boots. Post-match, Kawato continued to intimidate Liger. Guess that's a new heel and feud on the rise. Yay.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 3/6/17: 45th Anniversary Show
– The pre-event Manabu Nakanishi-Tomoyuki Oka match was typical of your "Young Lions Takes On The Veteran" matchups of the past. Oka had potential and looked to make his day at Nakanishi's expense. They both wore black trunks, for whatever significance that would serve. With their short hair and similar builds, it almost made them look like clones. Some open-handed slaps and forearm strikes by Oka were answered by Nakanishi's chops which sounded quite ow. Once Commentator Don Callis noted that they targeted the throat area, we couldn't help but look and notice that they did. Then Callis said this: "They used to call me the nipple buster." No words. Oka did a belly-to-belly suplex, which drew some gasps from those in attendance. Nakanishi made Oka tap out to the Torture Rack. Not surprised there. It also probably didn't help that Callis wrote Oka out from the start, albeit it's a realistic point of view.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/27/17: Honor Rising Night Two
(Aired 2/27/17)
Honor Rising Night Two
– The KUSHIDA/David Finlay-Silas Young/Jado match began similarly to the previous night as Young did his "Why am I so disrespected?" schtick, though he at least acknowledged the language barrier. Did anybody still understand him? Doubt it. We got it though, Young. You're cool peoples. Rocky Romero was back on commentary with Kevin Kelly for the night. They brought up the idea of this "Last Real Man" list from the heels, which was funny. A cheap shot from Young to start. Young taunted KUSHIDA and paid for it with a plancha. Jado took a boot to the face and powered through to not fall to the mat. Young broke out that nice sit-down springboard moonsault from the headstand position on the ring post. It should be noted that Finlay and Young had some great chemistry here. A singles match between them would kill. Eventually, Young hit Misery on Finlay to score the pin. Some more good stuff from Young, as we also liked that Kelly speculated that perhaps Young fits in that CHAOS mindset down the road. Solid opener to set the pace.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/26/17: Honor Rising Night One
Honor Rising Night One
– The opening video was flashy as always, which actually showcased the spread of American culture in Japan, particularly the "This is awesome!" chant. This was Honor Rising, a two-night event that chronicled Ring Of Honor talent officially hitting the NJPW airwaves. We'd see the likes of Punisher Martinez, Delirious, Jay Lethal and "The Last Real Man" Silas Young in action. Also hyped was "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, as he was back from his hiatus.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/11/17: Manifest Destino
Manifest Destino
– The Taka Michinoku-Henare match started things off with a proverbial bang. Michinoku had a variated version of his old WWE entrance music. As commentary sifted through the card, we could tell it could be no less than great. This one was your typical "Young Lion Battles Established Veteran" story, but Henare had all to gain and none to lose. Early mat-based grappling dictated the action as Taka was also under the weather. It was definitely physical, but maybe that's why it was a bit short. Taka maneuvered a transition to get the pinfall. An anticlimactic finish, but it was what it was with these two. We like the story of Henare showing some frustration after the bell. Gives him some depth.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/7/17: Gunning For Osaka
– As if you didn't already know, 2017 was off to a blazing start in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, as IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada outlasted Kenny Omega in that "Six-Star Classic" at Wrestle Kingdom 11 and successfully defended against Minoru Suzuki at the New Beginning In Sapporo. With all the ingredients set and one more show until The New Beginning In Osaka on Feb. 11, we had to hunker down and get through some filler and entertainment mostly by way of fancy tag team matches. The opening video was flashy (and Japanese!) but was right to the point about recent events.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/5/17: The Paintaker
"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts on television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
The Paintaker
– It's 2017 and New Japan Pro-Wrestling's all the rage these days, so we figured why not put them in the same review family? Granted, we can only cover the English commentary shows, but by the looks of 2017, there's quite a few shows already. Where we last left off, we saw the sudden onset of the Suzuki-gun faction, with a fierce return not seen since the days of Nexus. A moment of silence please for that ill-fated group. For an exclamation point, they laid out IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, as the group's leader, Minoru Suzuki, laid claim that every Title would soon be theirs. How nice. Now, no matter what they say in it, it'll still be incredibly difficult to understand the video packages per se, but damn, their production skills are sleek AF and a little extra on the side. So flashy and easy to follow. Everything looks damn near epic. Plus, that voiceover guy? Forget about it. We're hooked. Also liked the onscreen broadcast presentation graphics of all the matches for this show laid out, as it felt quite sports-like. To the first contest – Kushida/Hirai Kawato against El Desperado/Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Obviously, Kushida will stand out off the bat here, but this was a story all about Suzuki-gun's return momentum and the Chaos representatives with a goal to shut that down immediately. Also oddly enough, Don Callis fits right in with Kevin Kelly on commentary, though he's got a big chair in Steve Corino's absence to fill. A lot of attention was paid to Kushida getting in Kanemaru's face, conveying that it was purely about Championship gold. The heels began aggressively, with Kawato selling like a Champion, undergoing such punishment. They pulled out this cool spot where Kushida German suplexed one opponent while he held the other in a bridge. They certainly established Kawato's fighting spirit well here. ED's single-leg half crab was thwarted when he got to the ropes. Close near-falls towards the end on both sides. All you could ask for here. In the end, ED pinned Kawato with a move similar to a spinning blue thunder bomb. Good for an opener and to continue Suzuki-gun's momentum. Post-match, they attacked the winners outside. Well, damn.

Notes In Observance – NJPW English 1/5/17: New Year's Dash 2017
"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts and analysis on recent television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
New Year's Dash 2017
– The Six-Man Tag between Kyle O'Reilly/Ricochet/David Finlay and Jushin "Thunder" Liger/Tiger Mask/Henare set New Japan Pro-Wrestling's version of "Raw After Mania" off to a hot start. The commentary team of Kevin Kelly/Steve Corino superbly painted storyline pictures to mix with the action. Here, they relied upon the fact that O'Reilly/Ricochet/Finlay were all losers at Wrestle Kingdom 11 (which included six Title changes, mind you) and looked to bounce back. Given the caliber of talent involved, it was expected that the action would be quick. Ricochet and Liger had a cool exchange, even if Ricochet slipped up in the corner. Commentary hyped up Henare and put him over as a young lion that had the privilege to train with two legends like Liger/TM. In many ways, that'd build someone's career and it was smart of them to point that out. Liger's tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on O'Reilly looked downright cruel. Another fun spot was where Henare had the Boston Crab locked in on Finlay and didn't let go, even when subjected to Ricochet's fierce kicks. The highlight of everything was the triple submission spot, as it wasn't long before Finlay secured the pin for his team. All in all, it set out what it meant to – let O'Reilly/Ricochet/Finlay get back on track and Henare's in-ring abilities were a focus. The post-match sportsmanship was nice, even with the added detail that cameras followed Finlay as he went to embrace his mom up in the crowd. Awwww.

Wrestle Kingdom 11 Reaction
Jan. 4, professional wrestling and the Tokyo Dome have been a longtime polyamorous relationship, to the point where it has become tradition.
After last year's Wrestle Kingdom 10 when Shinsuke Nakamura and WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles stole the show, New Japan Pro Wrestling began to make a global buzz.
With the likes of Bullet Club, Chaos and Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ) all in a power struggle, many Titles were up for grabs.
WK has become a haven for big moments and unlikely chances for Champions to retain their belts.
Wrestle Kingdom 11 would be right up there with the greats for a main event that actually dragged "Six Stars" out of one Dave Meltzer.
How did the show fare by our standards? Find out below.

ROH Final Battle 2016 Reaction
Ring Of Honor's Final Battle signifies both the end and new beginnings.
While we initially saw this as counterproductive to host an annual "payoff"-themed Pay-Per-View typically saved for December's last week on the month's second day, you couldn't knock this card.
It's funny, since ROH didn't hammer home the hype until the final two weeks of television, but alas, it came together enough for the in-ring action and events to bring it full circle.
We had Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Cody, hell, even Broken Matt Hardy made a cameo appearance.
A fitting main event too, as we'd see Kyle O'Reilly get his last shot (seemingly) against ROH World Champion Adam Cole.

Frozen out: Perry, Santorum, Gingrich and Huntsman will NOT appear on the Virginia ballot
Judge rejects legal challenge from candidates, saying they left it too late
Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are currently slated for the March 6 primary
By Daily Mail Reporter
A federal judge has ruled that Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman will not be added to Virginia's primary ballot.
Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul will be on the ballot for the March 6 primary.
Virginia has been a tough ballot to crack for several GOP candidates because the state requires campaigns to collect signatures from at least 10,000 registered voters.
No show: Rick Perry in Hilton Head, South Carolina, on Friday and, right, Rick Santorum with wife Karen in Gaffney, South Carolina
Romney and Paul were the only candidates who managed to do so, the Associated Press reports.
Perry sued, and was later joined in the lawsuit by Gingrich, Huntsman and Santorum.
But on Friday, a federal judge in Richmond refused to add them, saying the candidates should have challenged Virginia's primary qualifying rules earlier.
Judge John Gibney Jr. said the campaigns had from July to mid-December to obtain the signatures, and could have challenged the requirement during that period. "The plaintiffs knew the rules months ago," he said.

Mr Gibney added that if the challenge had been filed earlier, he would have ordered the signature requirement be thrown out.
The Virginia case is not unique.
In other states, the four frozen out candidates have failed to file full slates of delegates with state or party officials, raising questions about whether these candidates have the resources to wage effective national campaigns.
And if one of them were able to marshal enough anti-Romney forces to challenge the front-runner, the ballot blunders could limit their ability to win delegates in key states.
Rich Galen, a GOP strategist and former Gingrich aide who is neutral in the 2012 race, said: 'This is why you need a real-life, no-kidding-around campaign.
On a high: Mitt Romney campaigns at the University of South Carolina Aiken on Friday
'All these guys who have been crowing that they found a new way to run for president, it's like saying I'm inventing a new airplane, and it has only one wing.'
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, won the first two contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, and he is leading in the polls in South Carolina and Florida, the next two states to have primaries. Romney raised $56 million in 2011 for his campaign, giving him big financial and organizational advantages over his GOP rivals.

Those advantages are on display as many of his competitors miss deadlines or fail to collect enough signatures to meet ballot requirements in upcoming contests.
Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who came within a few votes of winning the Iowa caucuses, also didn't get on the ballot in the District of Columbia. His campaign also filed incomplete slates of delegates in Illinois and Ohio, which could limit his ability to win delegates in those key states.
Santorum is the only major candidate who will be left off the ballot in the District of Columbia primary April 3, said Paul Craney, executive director of the DC Republican Committee. The party provides two ways to get on the ballot: Pay $10,000, or pay $5,000 and collect signatures from 296 registered Republicans in the heavily Democratic capital city.
Ron Paul speaks during a campaign stop at Eagle Aviation in West Columbia, South Carolina
'It's not easy, but it can be done, if you are a serious presidential candidate,' Mr Craney said.
'All the presidential candidates who are serious about winning the nomination will be on the DC ballot.'
Santorum adviser John Brabender acknowledged that Romney has more money and a larger campaign organization.
But, he said, Santorum's campaign has gained resources and momentum since the close finish in Iowa.
Romney, he said, has been running for president for the past six years, giving him more time to build his organization.
'It's a different campaign than it was earlier,' Brabender said.
Huntsman, the former Utah governor, failed to get on the ballot in Arizona or Illinois.
The requirements to get on the GOP ballot in Arizona are pretty easy - all you have to do is fill out a two-page form. Twenty-three candidates managed to do it properly, so they will be on the ballot for the state's February 28 primary.
Huntsman, however, was left off the ballot because his filing had a photocopied signature and wasn't notarized, said Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett.
'If you can't get on the ballot around the country, you're a regional candidate, by definition,' said Rich Beeson, the Romney campaign's political director. 'Barack Obama is going to be on the ballot in all 50 states, and so will we.'

British inflation report, Canadian and American Trade Balance US Unemployment Claims, Federal Budget Balance and Consumer Sentiment are the highlight of this week. Here's an outlook for the major market-moving events.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke announced the second QE on Nov 3, where Fed will buy extra $600 billion of treasuries to boost growth. This amount will be spent until the end of the second quarter, at a pace of $75 billion per month to further reduce long-term borrowing costs and keep prices from falling. Following Last week's Mid-term Elections where Republicans reclaimed a majority in the House of Representatives, Ben S. Bernanke may have to renew his battle to preserve the central bank's independence and monetary policy. Will the second QE strengthen the USD in the long run?
British Inflation Report: Wednesday, 11:30. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, will have to admit his forecasts did not come true. Inflation next year will be substantially higher than predicted just three months ago, and growth will be notably slower. UK inflation expected to remain above 3% remained unchanged at 3.1% in August The recent decision to hike VAT to 20% next year by the coalition Government will also keep inflation higher. A bleak report will undoubtedly hurt the GBP.
Canadian Trade Balance: Wednesday, 14:30. Canada Trade Balance deficit narrowed to $1.3B, against expectations of -$2.2B. The main sectors behind the decline in imports were automotive products, industrial goods and materials. These declines were tempered by increases in imports of other consumer goods and energy products. A small increase to $1.4B is expected now.
American Trade Balance: Wednesday, 14:30. The August Trade Balance release showed a growing deficit of 46.35 billion; worse than the 43.5 billion predicted and the previous deficit of 42.8 billion. Deficit is expected to decrease to $44.8B.
US Unemployment Claims: Wednesday, 14:30. US jobless claims rise 20,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 457,000 reversing the prior week's decline. This reading is worse than 437K expected. The report came a day after the Federal Reserve announced it would buy an additional $600 billion worth government bonds by the middle of next year to spur the lackluster economic recovery and boost employment. The deadline to file for federal unemployment benefits expires on Nov. 30. If it is not continued, 800,000 people will stop getting checks within four days which will further increase the number of claims. A small drop to 451K is expected now.
US Federal Budget Balance: Wednesday, 20:00. A widening gap of 34.5 billion dollars higher than the 43.5B expected has accumulated due to tax cuts, spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, entitlement programs, and financial bailouts. Despite the dreary situation it's still better than the $1.42 trillion gap that made up 10.0 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2009. The Congressional Budget Office predicts an improvement by rising receipts and, lowering its TARP estimate. The CBO sees the gap in fiscal year 2011 at just over $900 billion in what would be an even bigger improvement from fiscal year 2010. A step towards balancing Federal budget was taken by Florida voters passing a nonbinding resolution calling for amendment in the U.S. Constitution to require a balanced budget without raising taxes.
Australian Employment data: Thursday, 01:30. Australian employment change rose for the seven consecutive months in September adding 49500 workers compared with a previous 30900 in August. Also Australian unemployment rate remained at 5.1% during September, inline with analysts' expectations. Australian economy is expanding and increasing the AUD value. A smaller increase of 20.3K in jobs is expected with a small drop in unemployment rate to 5.0%.
G20 Meetings: Thursday-Friday. The fifth G20 Summit will take place on November 11 and 12, 2010 in Seoul, South Korea. The leaders of the 20 top world economies will follow up on previous commitments, including safeguarding the recovery, ensuring strong and sustainable global growth, building a stronger international financial regulatory system, and modernizing world financial institutions.
In its last meeting the G-20 failed to end currency wars. Despite a massive effort by the U.S. and some of its allies, the only thing the ministers could agree to was a vague, toothless promise to try to avoid currency wars. The meetings are expected to have limited impact on the market.
German Prelim GDP: Friday 12:00. The Bundesbank has raised its 2010 growth forecast for Germany after the country's economy surged in the second quarter at the fastest pace in two decades. GDP climbed up by 2.2% in the second quarter thanks to exports and investment. A smaller rise of 0.8% in GDP is expected in light of these optimistic data.
American Preliminary UoM Consumer Sentiment: Friday, 15:55. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary US consumer sentiment index unexpectedly declined to 67.9 in October from 68.2 in September, suggesting US consumer confidence fell to the lowest level since July. Consumer spending typically accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity and is considered critical to the recovery. The following weeks before the U.S. holidays would be a key period for retailers which could boost this index. A rise to 69.2 is expected now.

Large-scale Study Proves That Cell Phone Towers Emit Cancer-Causing Radiation
The idea that cell tower radiation causes cancer used to be the fodder for conspiracy theories before, although I personally do agree with the radiation part causing cancer. But, the latest scientific evidence shows that that concept is conclusively true.
The world's biggest animal study of cell tower radiation conducted by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy revealed the very real dangers of exposure to environmental levels of cell tower radiation. The study's researchers subjected 2,448 rats to 1.8 GHz GSM radio frequency radiation in amounts that copied those emitted by cell tower antennas for 19 hours a day.
Results showed that female rats had a higher chance of developing malignant brain tumor. On the other hand, all rats showed a higher chance of developing precancerous conditions and Schwann cell hyperplasia.
To make the study more comprehensive, the study's researchers followed the rats' saga until their natural death, assuming that majority of human cancers usually occur after a person reaches 60 years old and beyond. They did catch the rats still developing cancerous tumors at a later time in their lives.
The researchers concluded that their findings are enough to submit to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to take another look at the cancer-causing effect of radio frequency radiation on humans.
The study used much lower amounts of radio frequency radiation than those used by supposedly "safe limits" set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which means these are levels of radiation that people are commonly being subjected to.
Pregnant women and children – more susceptible to frequencies
Pregnant women and children are cautioned by the study's researchers to be careful of these low frequency waves, as the study found out that animals subjected to these frequencies usually produce small offspring. The scary part is that the FCC limits being used now were set 20 years ago, which means these limits have to be reassessed since cell phone usage have increased tremendously since then.
Currently, several countries have already set stricter regulations on cell phone tower radiation than the U.S., namely the countries of Italy, India, Russia, and China. This group is joining public health experts from countries like France, Israel and Belgium in asking the private sector and governments to implement measures to make cell technology use safer. Part of this would include campaigns educating the public on how to make use of cell phone technology safer for them.
Technology companies could look into changing also their hardware and software in order to reduce people's exposure to harmful radio frequencies.
Late last year, the California Department of Public Health released new guidelines on how people can safely use their cell phones by practicing measures to keep cell phone radiation exposure at a minimum. One of these safety measures is to sleep with their cell phones far from their heads, or to turn off the wifi when they sleep.

Andrew Forrest to donate $70m to bushfire relief
By Linda Mottram on PM
Download Andrew Forrest to donate $70m to bushfire relief (2.39 MB)
Mining billionaire, Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, has announced today he'd donate a whopping $70 million to bushfire affected states.
It's the biggest donation from a private donor thus far, including funds to support WA volunteers to fly in to help with immediate bushfire relief efforts.
He's also pitching in to help develop a new "blue print" on mitigation against the fire threat.
Broadcast: Thu 9 Jan 2020, 5:24pm
Andrew Forrest, WA mining Billionaire and philanthropist
LINDA MOTTRAM: So mining billionaire, Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, has announced today that he's donating a whopping $70-million to bushfire affected states.
It's the biggest donation from a private donor thus far including funds to support WA volunteers to fly in to help with immediate bushfire relief efforts.
When I caught Andrew Forrest, he was boarding a flight to see the fire damage on still threatened Kangaroo Island, very serious situation there this afternoon.
I asked him what exactly this money will do?
ANDREW FORREST: Okay, so it is changing all the time because we're in the middle of a national disaster zone and our ability to even visit communities is being hampered.
I had the South Australian Premier last night pleading with us to go to King Island instead of Cudlee Creek.
King Island, sorry Kangaroo Island and Kangaroo Island, as you know is under enormous threat and has suffered terribly already and it is under enormous threat now but there are very few people there would like to see us in KI so we will go to Kangaroo Island in the next couple of hours.
We'll try and get across to Cudlee Creek in South Australia to meet with a couple hundred members of the burnt out communities there and then up into New South Wales and Victoria.
We'll try and get to between three and six communities initially in each of the states.
LINDA MOTTRAM: Yeah, so that blueprint, has the federal government and have state governments said to you, "Yes, that's a good idea, we want to do that"?
ANDREW FORREST: We have, of course, been speaking to a number of ministers across Cabinet about this. We have spoken to other companies. We acknowledge that $500 million is probably the bare minimum the nation will need to create a blueprint for a resilient Australia.
We call is Project Resilience and we've also had philanthropists from other parts of the world reach out to us. We haven't contacted them initially. They have reached out to us and said, "Look how can we help?"
This to a red light warning for the planet\and it's just devastating to see a country, which they all loved, up in flames
LINDA MOTTRAM: One of the elements here, and you've touched on it briefly but let's go a bit more into it, is that you want to assemble 1200 people from the agriculture and mining sector ...
ANDREW FORREST: General sector..
LINDA MOTTRAM: ...spending $10 million on that. Okay, to volunteer to go in and be boots on the ground effectively, to do work on the ground.
You're rich man. Why don't you pay those 1200 people?
ANDREW FORREST: You see our budget has a per diem budget in there.
I've worked with hundreds if not in my time, thousands of volunteers. Some do not want payment and some do need some out-of-pocket expenses or a per diem amount and we're not quibbling about that.
LINDA MOTTRAM: And one of the problems agencies have is that in 12 months or two years their money runs out but there's still huge need and no one's giving anymore because the attentions moved.
Have you considered holding off and giving further down the track or will you step in again at that point.
ANDREW FORREST: I'd just like to say that Australia been through a shocking wildfire disaster already called Black Saturday. The Minderoo Foundation which was nowhere the scale and the size and capacity is now, stayed in that region for two years and, you know, the people of Marysville and Flowerdale and these other regions can say they have beautiful communities.
We played a very small part in their recovery. We were able to put villages on the ground, accommodation on the ground, encouragement, a little bit of capi9tal here and there and just to strongly encourage people who've lost everything.
LINDA MOTTRAM: And the science here says that the root cause of these catastrophic, extensive, you know, ever longer, ever more dramatic fires is climate change. That's what's drying the landscape, it's what's diminishing our rainfall, it's what's creating these conditions.
You obviously have a sense of that. Are you using your influence with the government to urge the Morrison Government to do more on climate change?
ANDREW FORREST: I think we do what we can like I'm very fortunate to chair a large public company. We are switching, as fast as we can, spending over $500 billion to move away from diesel and oil, of course coal to solar and to gas.
As a company, I think leading by example is more important, I think, than preaching to other people and also at the Minderoo Foundation and the Minderoo Group, we're investing heavily in solar.
We have dedicated to the least $200 hundred million to solar investments and, as you know, between Fortescue and Minderoo, we've been investing heavily in both hydrogen and in solar.
LINDA MOTTRAM: Andrew Forrest, thank you very much for your time today.
ANDREW FORREST: Thank you so much Linda.
LINDA MOTTRAM: WA mining billionaire and philanthropist, Andrew Forrest.

'Accidental Racist' lights up Twitter
Heather Muse
FORTUNE — Country singer Brad Paisley set Twitter ablaze Monday with the release of "Accidental Racist," a tune that starts with a vignette about wearing a confederate flag t-shirt in a Starbucks ("When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan") and ends with LL Cool J awkwardly rapping about the Civil War and slavery ("RIP Robert E. Lee, but I've gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean.") It is earnest, ham-fisted, and ripe for social media parody.
Wade through the #AccidentalRacist hashtag on Twitter, and you'll find actions that might make one an accidental racist ("Just poured milk into my coffee to make it whiter," tweets one user) and links to the multitudes of thinkpieces on what this all means. Elsewhere on the site, comedian Patton Oswalt joked about his next single being "Totally on Purpose Racist" to take the pressure off the duo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q4bq4hP35yc
Paisley weighed in himself via several tweets, saying he was proud of his new album and that "This is a record that's meant to be FAR from easy listening."
The mockery and controversy, however, may end up causing "Accidental Racist" to be more than just a jaw-dropping, "Did-I-actually-hear-this-correctly?" oddity. With Billboard now factoring in YouTube to its Hot 100 chart, the views of official and user-generated videos using authorized audio could make this song a hit along the lines of the viral video "Harlem Shake."
MORE: How Billboard saved the music video
"Accidental Racist" could become an intentional hit, but at what cost to Paisley's brand? He's generally seen as middle-of-the-road — he performed at one of the inaugural balls for President Obama in January — in comparison to more right-wing country artists. This misstep could cost him a fanbase, or gain him a new one.
Only time will tell, but for now, Brad Paisley is going to have to settle for being a trending topic.


0. Following issue 1 concerning the various steps From Body to Avatar, anomalie wanted to face the notion of the interface within the frame of the reconfiguration digital technologies are bringing about in the field of artistic creativity. The initial project involved one sole issue on interfaces, which would both analyze interface applications in relation to performing arts and present a series of critical extensions and theoretical positions. After many months under construction, that ambitious research project will finally give rise to this second issue on Digital Performance and to the upcoming third issue on Interface Theory.
Exploring the consequences of the use of digital interfaces in the context of performances is at the heart of a wider research strategy, which has led anomos to the organization of numerous conferences - Danza & Nuove Tecnologie (Bolzano, 1999), Movimenti Sensibili (Roma, 2000), Nouvelles Interfaces pour la Danse (Paris, 2000) - and to a collective volume La Scena Digitale (Venezia Marsilio, 2000). The recent foundation of the MediaDanse Lab, realized thanks to a agreement between anomos and the Dance Department of the Paris 8 University, is also part of that strategy.
The first section of anomalie n.2 takes up the proceedings of the New Interfaces for Dance session that anomos organized within the frame of the ISEA 2000 (International Symposium on Electronic Art). The purpose of that session was to present some examples of interactive digital devices opening up new perspectives for the world of dancing.
Motion Capture Systems are the main interfaces used in performance or dance. Thanks to them, the dancers' or the actors' movements are transformed into digital information and can be further applied in a variety of ways (1).
The first explorations of those interfaces make movement interact with sound events: the dancer's body becomes a kind of hyperinstrument (Machover); it activates sounds and sequences. Its historic model is probably David Rokeby's Very Nervous System. One of the most recent (and amusing) examples of that kind of movement-sound interface is the Instrumented Footware for Interactive Dance created by Joe Paradiso in the Medialab of MIT.
The Palindrome group has also developed with a number of hardware and software systems, which make it possible for the dancers to control and influence other media - music, video, lights - that they present during the performance/demonstration.
Flavia Sparacino, also working with the Medialab of MIT, has developed DanceSpace, an interactive platform for one dancer that is capable of synchronizing and coordinating movement to music and images that are being projected on a screen. "The purpose is to extend the range of the performer's expressive possibilities rather than to suggest modalities for the replacement of the dancer's body by a virtual one" (2). That is why she speaks of Augmented Performance.
The last example presented in the session might seem extreme. Stelarc thinks the human body is obsolete and not adapted to the new technological environments. He shows that technologies are no longer prostheses, extensions for human faculties or functions, but have become components of the human body. Interfaces actually put forward new body frontiers.
Last but not least in that first section comes Scott deLahunta, who has been doing research on the technologies' impact on dancing.
2.1 Considering the body as the first interface between the world and ourselves, many new technology gurus, like Marvin Minsky or Hans Moravec, claim that in the (quite near) future corporeal interfaces will play an increasingly important role: the interface complex gradually takes over the perceptive system and therefore the body, as it is both a subject of perception and the first interface between the world and ourselves, becomes central again. The widespread use of Virtual or Augmented Technologies and of wearable computers leads us towards a state of immersion, which means towards a more complete perception: "the gesture channel added to those of vision and hearing opens up to kinesthetic exchange" (3). As a result art as well is progressively directed towards the (digital) stage, an environment that has become sensitive through interfaces and is not merely the space surrounding a subject, but the entire complex of the physical and relational conditions within which the subject finds himself, acts and defines himself.
Both the actor and the spectator find themselves on a new stage: subjects of a new world, in which they are not just confronted with texts, objects or computer systems, but with other subjects as well.
1/ the first model has to do with the real environment: the stage itself made sensitive and intelligent by being interfaced through Motion Capture systems. Various materializations stem from that model and implicate different degrees of interactivity and audience participation: they go from interactive installations such as Reactive Environments (for instance, Very Nervous System by David Rokeby, 1983-1995, or the Studio Azzuro's Ambienti Sensibili) to the Intelligent Stage (Robb Lovel), which is a true performance stage.
2/ the second model concerns Virtual Environments (Virtual Reality). The work of Yacov Sharir (Dancing with the Virtual Dervish, 1996) as far as dance is concerned as well as the research of Mark Reaney in the theatre have both explored that domain. There are also hybrid forms in between the first and the second model (called Augmented Reality or Mixed Reality).
3/ the third model refers to choreographies or to interactive dramatics that are entirely digitalized: from CD-ROMS (like Andrea Davidson's La Morsure, 1998-2001) and DVD-ROMs, to on-line video installations and creations.
2.3 The second part explores the relations between performing arts (not only dance) and digital interfaces.
Nowadays we are accustomed to seeing screens and videos on stage used as parts of the stage design: the use of technology has become a must. However, that use is sometimes merely motivated by a fashion-effect.
That is perhaps the reason why we are still using terms such as New Technologies Art. Once the amazement concerning the new tools is over, we should simply go back to speaking of just art. There is, however, a different way, a more demanding one, in which new technologies and mainly interactive technologies are integrated not only into the stage system but also into the dramatics and choreography procedure, i.e. into the entire playwriting process (transition from the stage to the digital stage). Robert Lepage, Dumb Type, Giorgio Barberio Corsetti (with the Studio Azzuro), Societas Raffaello Sanzio are some of the best-known and already classic examples. Recently different projects are developed, which exploit the Network (Verde, Atzori), Virtual Realities (Reaney), Interactive Video (Paci-Dalo) and Artificial Intelligence so as to establish new forms of digital performance.
In order to fully cover the perspective of integrating the new machines in the creativity and receptivity process as well as in the work of art, we have tried to multiply the approaches and the styles: interviews, critical texts, historical accounts, project and research presentations.
2.4 According to Walter Benjamin (4), nothing is further away from the work of art of the technical era than theatre and the performing arts of the stage in general. Whereas the theatre offers the experience of immediacy, during which the performer and the spectator are both physically present to each other within the same space and time ("hic et nunc"), cinema -for instance- lets that presence occur through the mediation of a technical device.
2/ the actor loses the ability to adapt his/her interpretation to the audience.
Irreversibility of the technical object: in that case the loss of the aura does not only result in the transformation of the actor, who becomes a mere element amongst other elements of the representation machine, but above all in the disruption of the co-presence between actor and spectator. That occurs at such a high degree that, as Benjamin points out, the distinction between the two is no longer substantial; it becomes functional. Technical mediation is an obstacle in the way of physical immediacy.
Nonetheless, interactivity inverts that perspective: the work of art finds a form of immediacy again.
That transition actually contains a paradox. As Jean-Louis Weissberg suggests, "technological practices are not immediate [...] the more mediation feigns transparency, the more overwhelmingly its function is felt while the software and its materials become more complex and significant. [...] Contact always involves mediation; if it is transparency we are looking for, we will keep interposing more and more sophisticated interfaces to concretize that transparency" (5).
Essentially artists look for ways to use and even multiply the action of the media, to employ mediations so as to achieve a kind of immediacy: Immediacy of action, of interactive feedback, of interface transparency and body/environment relationships, which are not just the ones of the stage (performance, theatre or dance stage), but also those of life.

Q: Car class problem- break and acceleration functions? I need to code an accelerate function, accelerating speed by 5 mph and a brake function decelerating speed by 5 mph for a car class with the following logic:
-when braked, speed must be >= 0. if speed < 0 then reset to 0 and display error
-when accelerated, speed be <= 130. if speed > 130 then reset to 130 and display error
I think I've gotten so far as the parameters but not sure how to proceed with the functions themselves.
Tester program:
from Car import *
def main():
    my_car = Car("2008", "Honda Accord")
    print(f"my_car after instantiating: {my_car}")

    my_car.setSpeed(116)
    print(f"my_car after my_car.setSpeed(116): {my_car}")

    my_car.setSpeed(136)
    print(f"my_car after my_car.setSpeed(136): {my_car}")

    print ("*** car is accelerating ***")
    for i in range(4):
        my_car.accelerate()
        print ("Current speed: ", my_car.getSpeed())

    my_car.setSpeed(11)
    print(f"my_car after my_car.setSpeed(11): {my_car}")

    print ("*** car is braking ***")
    for i in range(3):
        my_car.brake()
        print ("Current speed: ", my_car.getSpeed())

    print(f"my_car at program end: {my_car}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This is the class:
class Car:
    __make_model = ""
    __year = ""
    __speed = 0

    def __init__(self, param_year, param_make_model):
        self.__make_model = param_make_model
        self.__year = param_year
        self.__speed = 0

    def setMake_model(self, param_make_model):
        self.__make_model = param_make_model

    def getMake_model(self):
        return self.__make_model

    def setYear(self, param_year):
        self.__year = make

    def getYear(self):
        return self.__year

    def setSpeed(self, inp_speed):
        if inp_speed < 0 or inp_speed > 130:
            print(f"Speed cannot be {inp_speed} mph.",
                  "Speed be must be 0-130 mph")
        else:
            self.__speed = inp_speed

    def getSpeed(self):
        return self.__speed

    def __str__(self):
        ret_val = f"Year : {self.__year}"
        ret_val += f", Make and Model : {self.__make_model}"
        ret_val += f", Speed : {self.__speed}"
        return ret_val

I don't know how to proceed adding this to the class, specifically in getting the class to reset to the limit I want to set.

A: There is a lot of ways to skin this cat, but here is an option:
class Car:
    __make_model = ""
    __year = ""
    __speed = 0

    def __init__(self, param_year, param_make_model):
        self.__make_model = param_make_model
        self.__year = param_year
        self.__speed = 0

    def setMake_model(self, param_make_model):
        self.__make_model = param_make_model

    def getMake_model(self):
        return self.__make_model

    def setYear(self, param_year):
        self.__year = make

    def getYear(self):
        return self.__year

    def setSpeed(self, inp_speed):
        if inp_speed < 0 or inp_speed > 130:
            print(f"Speed cannot be {inp_speed} mph.",
                  "Speed be must be 0-130 mph")
        else:
            self.__speed = inp_speed

    def getSpeed(self):
        return self.__speed

    def accelerate(self):
        if self.__speed <= 125:
            self.__speed += 5
        else:
            print("error max speed is 130")
            self.__speed = 130

    def brake(self):
        if self.__speed >= 5:
            self.__speed -= 5
        else:
            print("error reseting to 0")
            self.__speed = 0

    def __str__(self):
        ret_val = f"Year : {self.__year}"
        ret_val += f", Make and Model : {self.__make_model}"
        ret_val += f", Speed : {self.__speed}"

Q: Play a beep sound on button click OK I've read several answers here but they didn't help me at all (in fact, none of them is being accepted as answer)
Question is how to "Play a beep sound" on "button click"
I am trying to make a website that works on touchscreen device so I want every button click events will play a beep sound, that should be nicer for users who using the website. Beep sound file is here: http://www.soundjay.com/button/beep-07.wav . I only need this work on Google Chrome (supports HTML5)
I understand this need to work on client-side so I tried this:
Javascript:

HTML
<embed src="/beep.wav" autostart="false" type="audio/mpeg" loop="false" width="0" height="0" id="beep" enablejavascript="true" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnExit" runat="server" OnClick="lbtnExit_Click" OnClientClick="PlaySound('beep')" CssClass="btn btn-lg btn-danger" Text="Exit "></asp:LinkButton>

But it doesn't work, nothing happens when I click the button.

A: With raw JavaScript, you can simply call:
new Audio('sound.wav').play()

A: You could use an audio tag like this:
    <audio id="audio" src="http://www.soundjay.com/button/beep-07.wav" autoplay="false" ></audio>
     Play

Here is a Plunker

A: Admitting you already have something like
Click to play!
 in your html, you could do it as simple as:
$('#btn').click( () => new Audio('mp3/audio.mp3').play() );

This is the best solution IMO because it allow to click multiple times quickly on the button without problem (which is not possible in other answers at the time) and is a one liner.

const audioUrl = 'https://freewavesamples.com/files/Ensoniq-ESQ-1-Piano-C3.wav'

$('.btn').click( () => new Audio(audioUrl).play() ); // that will do the trick !!
body {padding: 16px;}

.btn {
  background: tomato;
  padding:15px;
  border-radius:5px;
  color:#fff;
  cursor: pointer;
  box-shadow: 0 -3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15) inset;
}

Click to play!

Example on codepen

A: This works fine

function playSound () {
    document.getElementById('play').play();
}
<audio id="play" src="http://www.soundjay.com/button/beep-07.wav"></audio>

<button onclick="playSound()">Play</button>

A: Technically, the following doesn't answer the question about "playing" a beep, but if asking how to "generate" a beep, then consider the following code that I found on this website:
a=new AudioContext()
function beep(vol, freq, duration){
  v=a.createOscillator()
  u=a.createGain()
  v.connect(u)
  v.frequency.value=freq
  v.type="square"
  u.connect(a.destination)
  u.gain.value=vol*0.01
  v.start(a.currentTime)
  v.stop(a.currentTime+duration*0.001)
}

Sample values for the call: beep(20, 100, 30). The aforementioned website includes more details and sound samples.
The sound can be in response to a button click or programmatically generated at will. I have used it in Chrome but have not tried it in other browsers.

A: Been driving me crazy, but with JQuery I found a solution... not really the best way to do it, but it worked properly for me...
function ding() {
      $("body").append('<embed src="/ding.mp3" autostart=false autoplay=false type="audio/mpeg" loop="false" width="0" height="0" id="beep" enablejavascript="true" />');
      setTimeout(function(){ $("#beep").remove(); },2000);
}

not sure how much of the embed tag is really required, but once it started working, I stopped writing (embed copied from another solution).
Hope this helps someone else (or helps me the next time I forget)

A: expanding on Alan M.'s answer, this will prevent console errors if unable to run due to no user event yet
var actx = false;
function beep(vol, freq, duration){
    try{
        if(!actx) actx = new AudioContext();
        v=actx.createOscillator();
        u=actx.createGain();
        v.connect(u);
        v.frequency.value=freq;
        u.connect(actx.destination);
        u.gain.value=vol*0.01;
        v.start(actx.currentTime);
        v.stop(actx.currentTime+duration*0.001);
    }catch{
        // ignore
    }
}


China and Argentina are not new allies, as the Asian giant has looked to its South American trading partner to fuel domestic demand for agricultural goods and natural resources since 2004. However, 20 new agreements signed in February 2015 bolstered overall relations to a "comprehensive strategic partnership," as cited by representatives in both China and Argentina.[i] These agreements are far-reaching and encompass trade, investment, agriculture, technology, and defense. Of particular interest in the region and abroad are the defense components of the agreements, as they extend beyond the scope of previous cooperation between China and any other Latin American country to date. Furthermore, the defense agreements encompass each branch of Argentina's military, as they aim to modernize the countries aging defense systems. What is not yet clear about these agreements is whether or not the new Maurico Macri administration will honor them or instead look to other nations to modernize Argentina's military force.
If one thing is certain, it is that the December 2015 decommissioning of Argentina's Dassault Mirage fighters left a hole in Air Force capabilities, but there are hopes that China may be able to solve this problem. A joint working group is currently looking at the feasibility of Argentina acquiring as many as 20 FC-1 or J-10 aircraft from China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation.[ii] Hypothetically, this deal stands to benefit both parties, as it would provide China with a feasible export market for its new fighter jet. Furthermore, Argentina's delicate financial situation would benefit from favorable finance terms offered by China. If Argentina is able, it is likely to choose the J-10, despite its higher price tag, as it would most effectively counter British Typhoon aircraft stationed on the Falkland Islands.
On a strategic level, this deal is troublesome to the British as they fear Argentina's acquisition of new fighter jets would open up a theoretical window of opportunity to strike the Falkland Islands before Britain's new carrier fleet enters into operation in 2020. This concern was reiterated by British Defense Minister Michael Fallon in May 2015, when he stated that "Argentina still poses a very live threat to the British-ruled Falkland Islands" as it has always claimed sovereignty over them despite the fact that Britain has ruled there for nearly two centuries.[iii] In an attempt to mitigate this potential immediate threat, Britain plans to increase troop presence and provide additional aerial support to the 150 British soldiers currently stationed in the Falkland Islands. However, this may not be necessary as Macri vows that he plans to take a less aggressive stance than former President Cristina Kirchner did on the Falkland Islands, but did state that Argentina will retain its claims to them.
Argentina has been looking to update its naval fleet for over a decade and is currently considering the purchase of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation's P18 export corvette (5 total), following failed deals in recent years with countries including Spain, Germany, and Brazil. In a controversial move, the Argentinian government reported that, if acquired, it will call the vessel the "Malvinas" class after the Argentine name for the Falkland Islands which as stated in the previous section, is still a point of contention between the two nations.
What is unique about the naval deal proposed by the Chinese is that 3 of the 5 P-18s would be coproduced in Argentina which is very appealing as it is looking to compete with military equipment producers in the region such as Brazil. Estimated completion time for this project is 2017. Other items to be acquired as part of the naval deal include icebreakers, tugboats, and offshore patrol vessels. The Chinese have also proposed potential deals for ground forces, which involve Argentina in the coproduction of 110 8x8 VNI amphibious armored personnel carriers.
In response to these claims, Chinese Ambassador to Argentina Yang Wanming indicated that the station is "a peaceful and technological project to explore outer space and has nothing to do with a military project." Still, concerns remain as the CLTC responds directly to the General Armament Department and the Central Military Commission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Furthermore, Argentinian news source Clarin reported that the agreement is not completely transparent, as at least two of the attachments are secret and known only to China's CLTC and Argentina's National Space Activities Commission.[v] Macri has since responded to these claims by stating that CLTC will not be sanctioned for any type of military use.
What becomes evident after reading proposed defense deals between China and Argentina is that years of work have gone into them, but the November 2015 win by center-right presidential candidate Mauricio Macri may leave some of them hanging in the wind. Regarding military strength, Macri must take into account that Argentina is in desperate need of upgrading its current defense systems, and China is already committed to providing this support in exchange for commodity-backed loans. However, what has become evident since he took office is that he wants to keep his options open on the purchase of equipment as evidenced by quotes for the purchase of weapons that have been submitted to countries such as the United States, France, Russia, Brazil, Israel and Korea to name a few.
From a defense perspective, the purchase of modern equipment is imperative as it will revive Argentina's aging military which is likely why Macri is weighing his options and not completely committing to China. These same deals would be a big win for China, as they look to expand military influence in Latin America while securing valuable sources of natural resources and exports needed to support its growing population base. In closing, only time will tell which deals Macri will honor, but from what has been seen thus far, he wants to re-build relations with countries such as the United States and Britain while simultaneously working with China as he realizes the Asian giant would be a powerful ally to lose. What this means for the purchase of defense equipment is that multiple vendors will be considered before final decisions are made.

I have never had an experience like the one I had with Marco. I had never done a shoot that was so revealing and I was nervous. From the moment I met Marco I was at ease. He was calm, gentle and supportive.
What followed was quite possibly the best shoot I have ever done. I have never had a photographer that made me feel as beautiful or as supported as Marco made me feel. There was never a moment of unease, never a moment where I didn't feel like a goddess.
Naturally the result was a collection of some of the most beautiful photos of me I have ever seen. You can see that I felt safe, strong and beautiful. You can see that I radiate confidence and sensuality. As a model I was in awe of the way Marco seemed to be everywhere shooting and yet he never seemed to leave my side. His quiet voice was there as my guide, and with every word I felt more free and more at Peace. He captured a side of me I didn't know I had, or at least didn't know how to access.
I have met many great photographers, but Marco stood apart from every other person I have worked with. I left that Photoshoot feeling confident, beautiful and full of joy. I honestly have been recommending him to everyone. He is a diamond, a rarity in this Industry. The experience alone is something everyone should have, but the photos will keep you smiling long after.
