Russia: Duma Considers Limits On Foreigners' Media Ownership
April 17, 2001 00:00 GMT
By Sophie Lambroschini
The bitter feud around NTV and the idea of attracting foreign investors as a potential safeguard against state control have spurred interest among lawmakers to regulate foreigners' ownership of Russian media companies. RFE/RL's Moscow correspondent Sophie Lambroschini looks at some of the ideas being floated in the Russian State Duma.
Moscow, 17 April 2001 (RFE/RL) -- Foreign investment in Russian media has become a sensitive issue since the head of NTV television, Vladimir Gusinsky, earlier this year appealed to U.S. businessman Ted Turner to acquire shares in NTV as a way of barring partly state-owned Gazprom from gaining control of the channel.
The State Duma in coming days may consider three proposals to limit access to the media market for foreign investors. Russian law currently places no limit on foreign ownership of media concerns. This contrasts with the United States, which limits foreign ownership to 20 percent.
Alexandr Chuyev, a deputy from the pro-Kremlin Unity faction, last week said he would present a bill to limit foreign ownership of electronic and print media to 50 percent. Chuyev says he has the backing of at least seven deputies.
"I think that the same way the law on elections says that foreign individuals, companies with more than 30 percent foreign capital, and states cannot contribute money to Russian election [campaigns], you can apply [that rule] to media organizations...because there are not so many of them. So that's why we should protect their freedom and independence."
Chuyev says he is "absolutely convinced" that any investor with a controlling stake would try to bend editorial policy in his favor. By way of an example, he says that a Chinese investor could broadcast misleading propaganda about the investment climate in Russia.
He also says he would like to make his bill retroactive as a way of invalidating any past deals, including a Turner bid for NTV, that may already have been made.
The Duma considered a similar proposal two years ago when well-known media businessman Rupert Murdoch expressed an interest in buying Russia's ORT television. That bill, which banned the state from selling any media shares to foreigners, died before it was ever put to a vote.
A second bill to be considered by the Duma would impose an even lower limit for foreign ownership in media -- to 30 percent.
A third bill proposed by some liberal deputies would impose a 25 percent maximum stake for all investors.
Viktor Pokhmelkin, the Union of Rightist forces deputy head of the Duma Legislation Committee and the author of the bill, explains that in his opinion the real issue is not xenophobic fear of foreigners' policies in Russia, but about anyone -- whether the state, an oligarch, or a foreigner -- gaining control over the media.
Pokhmelkin says his proposal, by splitting responsibility and control, would be the Russian media's best chance at achieving balanced coverage.
"Of course, it is a step in the direction of public television because any demonopolization -- by distributing control over media into different hands, into the hands of different owners that often represent different social [or financial interests] -- is exactly a step toward public television [and] away from state television and radio."
Experts say that given the investment climate, with foreigners already wary of putting money into the country, none of the options are especially attractive.
The economic weekly "Vek" said it was "unlikely" that a foreign investor would put money into a company that it can't control, especially in Russia.
Kim Iskyan, a media investment expert at the investment bank Renaissance Capital, tells RFE/RL that new restrictions would dampen investor enthusiasm, but she says foreigners dealing with Russia are used to it:
"It certainly casts a [cloud] over potential investment and raises the level of uncertainty considerably. [I don't think] it will completely chase away any potential investors because foreign investors are quite accustomed to the investment environment shifting."
The Press Ministry has distanced itself from the Duma proposals.
Deputy Press Minister Mikhail Seslavinsky told ITAR-TASS last week that the mere discussion of a bill to limit foreign investment in Russian media would discourage potential investment in all spheres.
He suggests that the Duma wait until the situation surrounding NTV calms down and only then make a decision on investment limits.
In the past the Press Ministry has been very careful in its assessment of foreign investment in media. In 1999, for example, then newly appointed Press Minister Mikhail Lesin said foreign capital should not be banned from the Russian media market.
Chuyev admits to a disagreement with the Press Ministry, but he claims that his idea to limit foreign investment has the support of the presidential administration.
Indeed, Russian authorities have shown an increasing willingness to impose media restrictions in the name of safeguarding what they call "information security." A controversial doctrine adopted last September by the Security Council and endorsed by President Vladimir Putin underscored this concern. It specifically cites foreign economic and financial activity in the information sphere as a threat to information security.

Der Brantenbach oder Rennbach (ital.: Rio Vallarsa) ist ein 14 Kilometer langer Bach, der durch das Brantental in Südtirol fließt. Sein Einzugsgebiet umfasst etwa 29 km².

Verlauf
Quellbäche des Brantenbachs entspringen am Weißhorn in  Höhe und fließen anschließend über den Regglberg im Gemeindegebiet von Deutschnofen ins tief eingegrabene Brantental. Der Bach erreicht beim Ausgang des Brantentals das Etschtal bzw. Unterland bei Leifers auf rund . Er nimmt etwas südlich der Stadt, bereits knapp hinter der Gemeindegrenze zu Branzoll, den Landgraben auf, um wenige Meter weiter auf den Leiferer Graben zu treffen, mit dem er fortan als Branzoller Graben weiterfließt. Die biologische Gewässerqualität gilt seit dem Bau der Kläranlage von Deutschnofen Anfang der 1990er als sehr gut. 2022 wurde bei Schwabmühl eine Rückhalte- und Sperrmauer errichtet, um Hochwasserereignissen vorzubeugen.

San Diego Comic-Con Has Lord of the Rings and Black Panther 2 – 7/21/2022 – Illustrated
Comic-Con is finally back in California this week with "The Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones" vying for audiences among thousands of fans at the world's most famous pop culture event.
With its Marvel superheroes, Disney will also exhibit its upcoming releases at the international fair, which returns to its original format in San Diego, in the United States, after two years of the pandemic.
"I think it will be like Comic-Con 2019," said event communications chief David Glanzer, although attendees dressed as hobbits, dragons or princesses will have to wear masks.
"We're back. Maybe there will be tears of joy. It's very emotional," Glanzer told AFP.
In addition to 135,000 enthusiasts, the science fiction, comics and fantasy fair attracts Hollywood's biggest studios and their stars to reveal upcoming projects.
And this year's announcements begin with "Dungeons and Dragons." The most expensive film adaptation of the world's most famous RPG will be released in March of next year with the participation of stars such as Michelle Rodriguez, Chris Pine, Hugh Grant and Regé-Jean Page.
The week's headlines can be dominated by two new television series – Amazon Prime's "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" and HBO's "House of the Dragon".
"The Rings of Power" is Amazon's ambitious saga that delves into JRR Tolkien's universe long before the events depicted in Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning trilogy.
The series will run for five seasons and will begin on September 2. It is estimated that the production cost Amazon over $1 billion and is said to be a personal obsession of founder Jeff Bezos.
Much of the budget was used to buy the rights to Tolkien's universe for the production.
This Friday, Amazon will bring its hobbits, elves and dwarves to Comic-Con, at the gates of which fans wait hours and even days in line to secure a seat that allows them to get a taste of the series.
The next day, HBO will unveil "House of the Dragon," the first "Game of Thrones" spinoff series, based on the fictional world of Westeros, created by George RR Martin.
Martin avoided talking about rivalry between these megafranchises. "I want both shows to reach an audience that appreciates them and is quality television. A big fantasy," he said. "The more successes in the fantasy genre we have, the more fantasies we will have in the future," he wrote in a blog post.
HBO hopes this "prequel" will live up to the massive popularity of the original series which, for eight seasons, has become a pop culture hallmark, with fans flocking to watch the episodes and winning countless imitations, as well as 59 Emmy Awards, a record for a TV drama.
Starring Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans and Emma D'Arcy, "House of the Dragon" tells the story of the ruthless dragon-breeding Targaryen family some 300 years before the events of "Game of Thrones."
Its stars will be at the event following a presentation by Warner, HBO's sister company, with actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson promoting his upcoming superhero movie, "Black Adam."
Disney has yet to reveal its schedule, but rumor has it that it will finally air the long-awaited "Black Panther 2" sequel.
This Comic-Con will also include the end of AMC's hit "The Walking Dead," with the apocalyptic series saying goodbye with its final season, while also launching the spin-off series "Tales of the Walking Dead."
Despite the news, Glanzer points out that Comic-Con is first and foremost a community for its fans.
"Being able to see people and have fun, enjoy comics and pop art is a luxury. I can't wait," said Glanzer. "Nothing better than having this opportunity and sharing it with friends."

Does using a larger percentage in Tool Axis Control > Tool Axis Smoothing produce a better surface finish? How does it control the output of CNC code?
When I asked the question yesterday I was asking specifically about the Blade Finish operation. However now that I have had time to experiment I've had the chance to try out different settings and I have found that the biggest issue was the way my setup was.
I was given the task of developing a blade disk segment demo for one of the 5-axis machines my company manufactures and because the segment was going to be originally setup on a 5-axis vise and machined 90 degrees from the orientation blades are actually machined.
The situation that was causing the non-smoothness I was experiencing was because of a singularity in the kinematics of the machine.
Since yesterday it was determined that the demo should be developed so that the segment is machined in the orientation it is in a typical real life blade disk.
Blake, it sounds like you are on the right track.

Managing 4-6 classes per semester can be a little stressful sometimes. Midterms are approaching and on top of that, quizzes, exams and reading assignments may be close to each other. To get on top of your A game, you need to stay organized! You can start by making a list of all of the assignments and exam dates that are coming up. You can do this by setting a goal to reach before due dates .
1. Make a calendar: This is going to be your study schedule, just as you would schedule your lunch break or sleep. Customize it, make it your own! Establish a routine and find a good place that is best for you to study. This is more like a challenge to stay on top of your A game.
You can set dates and times to study for a class. It is important to have breaks when studying. So, don't forget to also take breaks and do things that you enjoy throughout the day. For example, exercise or watch a show. Whatever helps you relax.
Watch Youtube videos about the topics that needs more revision.
Use Quizlet! (one of the many online tools for studying) I can't even stress enough how much Quizlet have helped me. Quizlet is an online learning tool that anybody can use to make their own notes via flashcards. These notes can be studied with different methods such as multiple choice, fill in the blank, card matches. The questions you got wrong will keep on appearing when repeating the test until you master it. You can go to quizlet.com to make an account or download the app on your mobile device to get access to it wherever you are. Personally, I have a long commute so I take tests on my way to school or go over the notes that I made.
3. Make study groups ( If you don't have one already): Study with a friend or two because we can all learn from our peers. Even if you think you got this already, you can help a classmate out by explaining something that they have trouble understanding. This is the time to test yourself and see if there is anything you need clarification with. More importantly, when teaching somebody else, the topic will stick more to our memory.
4. Be positive: Surround yourself with positivity, but this has to start with yourself. Getting ready for an exam with a positive attitude will probably have a great effect on your learning process.


The US Congress passed a bill to move of the embassy to Jerusalem in 1995.
President of the United States judged on move or postponement every six months, the deadline was approaching.
He's a man of his word. That's what the voters hoped for when they elected him.
It's good to remember the past, but it's right to mend differences and work together in the future.

OCTOBER 19 – BIRTHS – Scientists born on October 19th
Born 19 Oct 1936.
Anthropologist and educator who was the first African-American woman president of Spelman College, in Atlanta, the oldest, private, liberal arts college for black women in the U.S. (1988). While president of Spelman, she taught one course per term in addition to her other academic responsibilities. Her interest in anthropology was sparked in part because it was new and unfamiliar, and a most unusual professional aspiration for an African-American woman during the 1950s. In 1960-62, she worked together with her new husband in Liberia, where they worked together on research for their respective dissertations. He conducted economic surveys and she engaged in fieldwork in the villages and towns of that West African nation.
Jean Dausset
French hematologist and immunologist whose studies of the genetic basis of the immunological reaction earned him a share (with George Snell and Baruj Benacerraf) of the 1980 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. In 1952, he discovered that people who receive repeated blood transfusions can develop antibodies to the blood. Dausset correctly hypothesized that a specific genetic variation among people accounted for the different levels of reaction. This discovery led to the use of simple blood tests to determine whether a prospective donor and patient are a good match for an organ transplant. Since that time, he has retained a constant interest in the immunogenetics of blood cells.
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
Born 19 Oct 1910; died 21 Aug 1995 at age 84. quotes
Indian-American astronomer and astrophysicist who shared (with William A.Fowler) the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics for formulating the currently accepted theory on the later evolutionary stages of massive stars (which has led to the discovery of black holes and neutron stars). He was one of the first scientists to combine the disciplines of physics and astronomy. Early in his career he demonstrated that there is an upper limit, now called the Chandrasekhar limit, to the mass of a white dwarf star. (A white dwarf is the last stage in the evolution of a star such as the Sun, which ends with collapse when the nuclear energy source in its centre has become exhausted.) Further, it shows that stars much more massive than the Sun must either explode or form black holes.
Marguerite Perey
Born 19 Oct 1909; died 13 May 1975 at age 65.
Marguerite Catherine Perey was a French chemist who identified francium, element 87, the last naturally occurring element to be discovered (7 Jan 1939). She joined the Institut du Radium in 1929 as a technician to be the personal assistant of Marie Curie. Perey focussed on actinium for many years because it was considered a possible source of francium by alpha decay. However, the necessary purification of actinium and concentration required dozens of difficult and painstaking procedures. After submitting a thesis concerning her work on element 87, in 1946 she received a doctorate degree in physics. From 1949, she held the chair of a new nuclear chemistry department at the University of Strasbourg. In 1962, she became the first woman member of the French Academy of Sciences. She retired as her health declined from cancer caused by radiation.«
Born 19 Oct 1895; died 26 Jan 1990 at age 94. quotes
American architectural critic, urban planner and historian who wrote about the effects of architecture and technology on human societies throughout history. He also covered topics in literary criticism, regional planning, environmentalism, history of cities, and their role in civilization. Called "the last of the great humanists" by Malcolm Cowley, Mumford gained international recognition. His publishing career began with American studies books in the 1920s and progressed through sixty years broadening with wide-ranging themes until his final work, his autobiography, Sketches From My Life (1982). For 30 years he contributed to The New Yorker magazine as architectural critic.«
Maurice-Irénée-Marie Gignoux
Born 19 Oct 1881; died 20 Oct 1955 at age 74.
French geologist who investigated the stratigraphy of the late Pliocene and Quaternary deposits of the Mediterranean (about 5 million years ago to the present) and studied the structure of the Alps. He experimented with fold models to support his work. His interest in useful applications for his science was shown in his geological research concerning the effect on large alpine valleys used for hydroelectricity, especially the Génissiat Dam on the Rhone. His publications include Stratigraphic Geology (1936), which by the fourth edition was translated into English, Polish and Russian; and Géologie des barrages (Geology of Dams, 1955).«

Walter Bradford Cannon
Born 19 Oct 1871; died 1 Oct 1945 at age 73. quotes
American physiologist and neurologist who was the first to use X-rays in physiological studies. These led to his publication of The Mechanical Factors of Digestion (1911). He investigated hemorrhagic and traumatic shock during WW I. He devised the term homeostasis (1930) for how the body maintains its temperature. He worked on methods of blood storage and discovered sympathin (1931), an adrenaline-like substance that is liberated at the tips of certain nerve cells. He died from leukemia - probably a legacy from his early work with X rays. He was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 1920 for his work on digestion, but his claim was ruled out as "too old." In 1934, 1935, and 1936 he was adjudged "prizeworthy" by the appropriate Nobel jurors but was not given a prize.

Auguste Lumière
Born 19 Oct 1862; died 10 Apr 1954 at age 91.
Frenchman who, with his brother Louis, invented and pioneered the manufacturing of photographic equipment. They devised an early motion-picture camera and projector called the Cinématographe ("cinema" is derived from this name). Their film La Sortie des ouvriers de l'usine Lumière ("Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory"), is considered the first motion picture. On 22 Mar 1895, an invited audience at 44 Rue de Rennes in Paris, France, viewed the film they shot specially for the occasion showing workers leaving the Lumières' own factory in Lyon, which made all kinds of photographic products. The workers streamed out, most to foot, some with their bicycles, then followed by those with cars.Image right: frames from La Sortie des ouvriers film.]
Edmund Beecher Wilson
Born 19 Oct 1856; died 3 Mar 1939 at age 82. quotes
American biologist known for his researches in embryology and cytology. His first experimental studies, in embryology, led him to investigations at the cellular level. His principal work was on the function of the cell in heredity and showed the chromosomal basis of sex determination in the embryo (1905). Wilson concluded that females have XX chromosomes, while males possess XY chromosomes. Following the process of meiosis, all eggs are left with an X chromosome, but sperm can have either X or Y. If an X chromosome sperm fertilizes an egg, the result is a female. If a Y chromosome sperm fertilizes and egg, the result is a male. He was the first scientist to publish photographs illustrating how a cell divides.
William Cheselden
English surgeon and teacher of anatomy and surgery, who was instrumental in raising surgery to a profession. He began lecturing on anatomy at age 22. Three years after that, he published Anatomy of the Human Body, (1713) written in English instead of the Latin, which remained in print as a text for anatomy students for almost a century. He was the first to perform operations for iridectomy, the removal of part of the iris to treat blindness (1728) and lateral lithotomy (1727). In the latter operation, he was quick and precise surgeon, able to remove bladder stones in about one minute. He described the role of saliva in digestion, as opposed to the general belief that digestion resulted from the mechanical actions of the abdominal muscles on the stomach.
Sir Thomas Browne
Born 19 Oct 1605; died 19 Oct 1682 at age 77. quotes
Physician and writer, born London. He is best known for his book of reflections, Religio Medici. At his Norwich house - which he called his "elaboratory"- he performed his chemical experiments and studies in natural history. It contained his notable collection of bird eggs, maps and medals and housed his library of around 2,000 volumes. Browne was attracted to anything of antiquity as well as being an accomplished naturalist. He died on his birthday.
Nature bears long with those who wrong her. She is patient under abuse. But when abuse has gone too far, when the time of reckoning finally comes, she is equally slow to be appeased and to turn away her wrath. (1882) -- Nathaniel Egleston, who was writing then about deforestation, but speaks equally well about the danger of climate change today.
Carl Sagan: In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. (1987) ...(more by Sagan)
Albert Einstein: I used to wonder how it comes about that the electron is negative. Negative-positive—these are perfectly symmetric in physics. There is no reason whatever to prefer one to the other. Then why is the electron negative? I thought about this for a long time and at last all I could think was "It won the fight!" ...(more by Einstein)

OCTOBER 19 – DEATHS – Scientists died on October 19th
Lewis Urry
Died 19 Oct 2004 at age 77 (born 29 Jan 1927).
Lewis Frederick Urry was a Canadian-American chemical engineer who invented the ubiquitous alkaline batteries and, later, lithium batteries. After a few years working in Canada for the company that made Eveready batteries, he was transferred in 1955 to its Cleveland, Ohio, laboratory where he began work on a new battery with better life-span than the carbon-zinc type of the time. He succeeded by using manganese dioxide, an alkaline electrolyte and powdered zinc (which he realized had greater surface area than solid zinc). A patent was filed 9 Oct 1957, issued 15 Nov 1960, No. 2,960,558. Production began in 1959. Alkaline batteries are estimated to be 80% of all dry cell batteries now sold in the world. The Smithsonian Institution displays his prototype alkaline battery. Urry held over 50 patents.«
Philip Drinker
Died 19 Oct 1972 at age 77 (born 12 Dec 1894).
American engineer whose invention of the Iron Lung was a negative pressure ventilator that provided external respiration support. From its first use on 12 Oct 1928 to the 1950's, the iron lung was a vital technology to maintain life especially in cases of muscle paralysis caused by the poliomyelitis disease that was prevalent in that era. Victims of polio partially or totally lost their ability to breathe for themselves. A polio patient's entire body below the neck lay sealed in a metal chamber wherein pressure was increased and decreased by an air pump. Its cycle caused the lungs to expel and inhale air and mimic a normal breathing rate.«[Image right: Philip Drinker experimenting with a cat in a test iron lung, 1928.]
Sir Ernest Rutherford
Died 19 Oct 1937 at age 66 (born 30 Aug 1871). quotes
(1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson) Sir Ernest Rutherford was a New Zealand-English physicist who laid the groundwork for the development of nuclear physics. He worked under Sir J. J. Thomson at Cambridge University (1895-98). Then he collaborated with Frederick Soddy in studying radioactivity. On 1 Sep 1898 he dated a paper naming alpha particles and beta particles (Gamma radiation was discovered in 1900 by Paul Villard.) the following year. In 1905, with Soddy, he announced that radioactive decay involves a series of transformations. In 1907, with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, he devised the alpha-particle scattering experiment that led in 1911 to the discovery of the atomic nucleus. In 1919 he achieved the artificial splitting of light atoms. In 1908 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Died 19 Oct 1909 at age 73 (born 6 Nov 1835).
Italian physician, psychiatrist and pioneer criminologist, who employed Darwinian ideas of evolution to account for criminal behaviour. Measuring heads of criminals against skulls of apes and prehistoric humans, he concluded that criminals were in fact hereditary victims of atavism - a reversion to evolutionarily primitive traits including those related to survival. In prehistoric times, a strong desire to kill, for example, would have made them good hunters and desirable mates, but criminals in urban environments. Lombroso believed this theory of atavistic criminality should influence punishment of crime. In many circles, his ideas met with concerted opposition. Later, Lombroso gradually included social factors as significant in disposing people to criminal behaviour.
George M. Pullman
Died 19 Oct 1897 at age 66 (born 3 Mar 1831).
George M(ortimer) Pullman was an American industrialist and inventor of the Pullman sleeping car for use on railroads.
Sir Charles Wheatstone
Died 19 Oct 1875 at age 73 (born 6 Feb 1802).
English physicist who popularized the Wheatstone bridge, a device that accurately measured electrical resistance and became widely used in laboratories. He didn't actually invent the "Wheatstone Bridge". His contemporary, Samuel Hunter Christie, came up with the idea of the bridge circuit, but Wheatstone set the precedent for using it in the way in which it has been most commonly used. Over time, the device became associated with him and took on his name. He did, however, invent the concertina (1829), the stereoscope (1838), and an early form of the telegraph. He also developed a chronoscope (1842) to determine the velocity of projectiles at an English gunnery.

Samuel Guthrie
Died 19 Oct 1848 (born 1782).
American chemist and physician who first discovered chloroform. He also invented the percussion priming powder for firearms, which superseded flints. He performed experiments in a laboratory near his house, and had a mill about a mile away for manufacturing large quantities of this powder and other explosives (e.g., potassium chlorate and mercury fulminate). In 1830 he devised a process that rapidly converted potato starch into molasses. He made chloroform in 1831 by distilling chloride of lime with alcohol in a copper vessel, prior to the independent discoveries of Soubeiran (France,1831) and Justus Liebig (Germany, 1832).

First electronic digital computer
Atanasoff
In 1973, a US Federal Judge signed his decision following a lengthy court trial which declared the ENIAC patent invalid and belatedly credited physicist John Atanasoff with developing the first electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff- Berry Computer or the ABC. Built in 1937-42 at Iowa State University by Atanadoff and a graduate student, Clifford Berry, it introduced the ideas of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, and logic circuits. These ideas were communicated from Atanasoff to John Mauchly, who used them in the design of the better-known ENIAC built and patented several years later.
The First Electronic Computer: The Atanasoff Story, by Alice R. Burks, Arthur W. Burks. - book suggestion.
Atlantic solo boat crossing
l'Hérétique boat
In 1952, Alain Bombard, a 27-yr-old French biologist and physician, left the Canary Islands, beginning a single-handed sea voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to test his theory that a shipwrecked person could survive without provisions. He speared fish with a home-made harpoon and netted surface plankton.. He drank seawater, limited to occasional sips. His Zodiac inflatable boat, l'Hérétique, was just 4.5 m (15-ft) long and fitted with a sail. Bombard began with almost no provisions and his only navigation instrument was a sextant. He reached Barbados 65 days later on 23 Dec 1952, having lost about 25-kg (55-lb) in weight.«
The Voyage of the Heretique, by Alain Bombard. - book suggestion.
In 1872, a slab of slate in New South Wales, Australia, was found containing 82.11 kg of gold. Known as Holtermann's Nugget, it was largest mass of reef gold ever found. More correctly, it was not a nugget, but a specimen also known as a matrix. The slab weighed 286kg and measured 150cm by 66cm with an average thickness of 10cm.It was found at the Bald Hill Mine at Hill End Gold Mine, 275 km NW of Sydney. It was crushed and the gold content recovered. Alluvial gold had been discovered at Hill End (then known as Bald Hill) in 1851 and there were were 150 miners on the site within a month. In 1967, Hill End was proclaimed an historic site and placed under the care of the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
In 1860, the Società Anonima del nuova motore Barsante e Matteucci (Anonymous Society of the New Barsanti and Matteucci Engine) was formed in Florence, Italy, to manufacture internal combustion engines. On 5 Jun 1853, Father Eugenio Barsante and engineer Felice Matteucci were the first to record having designed a three-stroke gas engine that was to be commercially developed. They deposited a sealed envelope at the secretariat of the Georgofili Academy of Florence outlining their work to that date. They also held British patents. The first engine in actual operation was installed in 1856 at the Maria Antonia Railway Station in Florence. A piston was moved by atmospheric pressure after a vacuum was produced by the explosion of flammable gas inside it using an electric spark from a Rumkoff coil.«

DHS to Offset Employee Retention Credits from Care Center Rates
On January 5, 2023 by Jeff Bostic
The Department of Human Services (DHS) recently informed us that they intend to offset the revenue from the federal Employee Retention Credit (ERC) from care center costs based on the wages and taxes used in the ERC application. That means that some care centers will see reductions in their rate for the rate year that started this Jan. 1. DHS auditors have begun requesting detailed information from care centers that have applied for the ERC to determine these offsets.
On January 5, 2023 by Kayla Khang
Earlier this week, the Minnesota Legislature gaveled in the start of this year's session. LeadingAge Minnesota and our Long-Term Care Imperative partner are prepared to advocate for our members and share our key message throughout the session, which is slated to end in May. With a $17 billion budget surplus, lawmakers must act to ensure access to care for Minnesota's seniors and that caregivers receive the wages they deserve.
Assisted Living Resource: Contacting On-Call RN
On January 5, 2023 by Kari Everson

The compensation data portal also collects information on differentials and bonuses for each position to provide a robust look at overall compensation.
Nursing Home Chow Documents and Process Now Available
On December 15, 2022 by Kari Everson
Whenever a nursing home changes ownership, the new owner must apply for an operating license before taking over the operations of an already licensed organization. Aug. 1 amendments to the change of ownership (CHOW) process took effect. The current licensee remains responsible until the new owner is properly licensed. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has the updated information and forms and process available.

Members who have submitted data for the third quarter (July through September) can view reports that provide custom comparisons.
Largest Surplus in Minnesota's History: What it means for long term care providers
On December 8, 2022 by Kayla Khang
This week, Minnesota's budget forecast for the 2024-2025 biennium showed a $17.6 billion surplus, the largest in Minnesota's history. Most of the forecasted budget is "carryforward," meaning that about $12 billion of the surplus money will only be able to be spent on one-time investments.
Care Center Rate Notices Likely to Arrive after Jan. 1
As Jan. 1 approaches, it appears likely that rate notices will not arrive for most care centers by the start of the new rate year. We expect that the rate increase for most care centers will be significant this year because the cost report being used (year-end Sept. 30, 2021) reflects a drop in occupancy and the considerable increase in costs that happened during the pandemic. Therefore, it is time for providers to consider giving notice to private pay residents about increases on Jan. 1.

It is hard for any parent to discover that an adult child has developed a drug addiction. It is natural to want to blame yourself, your spouse, your child, and any number of people for the problem. It is important to remember that blaming is just not helpful. It does not help the addict and it does not help you or anyone else you might want to blame. Addiction is a disease. No one "decides" to become an addict.
We recommend that you get help for yourself first because being in a relationship with a person who has an addiction is often stressful. Accepting that you are going through stress and need help managing it is an important step in helping your loved one, as well as yourself.
Although you may feel tempted to let your loved one know that their addiction is a problem, and that they need to change, the decision to change is theirs. They are much more likely to be open to thinking about change if you communicate honestly but in a way that does not threaten your loved one.
Nagging, criticizing and lecturing the addicted person.
Yelling, name calling and exaggerating (even when you are stressed out yourself).
Building trust is a two-way process. Trust is not established by putting up with bad behavior. People with addictions rarely change until there is some consequence to their behavior. Don't try too hard to protect the addicted person from the consequences of their own actions (unless it is harmful to themselves or others, for example, drinking and driving).
The treatment process will vary according to the needs of the addict Not all addicts have to go into a hospital or inpatient setting. There are different levels of care and if possible, an assessment by a doctor an addiction counselor should be done. The most important thing to remember about treatment is that the addict should be the one who asks for help and who is responsible for following up with treatment. The addict may or may not want you to participate in the education and/or family counseling part of treatment. If you are asked to participate, and you are able, this can be very helpful to the addict and to the family.
Do not be surprised if your loved one says that things you are doing are contributing to their addiction.
Try to listen with an open mind.
If you want them to change, you will probably have to change too, even if you don't have an addiction.
If you show you are willing to try, your loved one will be more likely to try as well.
Never hesitate to get treatment for yourself and for other family members. You will have your own issues that need examination. It will be important for you to get education and support for yourself and for others in the family who are being effected by the addiction. You can seek treatment regardless or whether or not the addict is ready to get help.

An argument against the banning of the novel the adventures of huckleberry finn by mark twain from s
The question boils down to the depiction of Jim, the black slave, and to the way he is treated by Huck and other characters. The use of the word "nigger" is also a point raised by some critics, who feel that Twain uses the word too much and too loosely. Mark Twain never presents Jim in a negative light. He does not show Jim as a drunkard, as a mean person or as a cheat.

Share via Email Mark Twain: AP So, Mark Twain stays in the news even years after his death. First, with the initial volume of his Autobiography, finally published in the form planned by the author.
Second, with the controversy stirred up by a "new" edition of Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in which the offensive racial epithets "injun" and "nigger" are replaced by "Indian" and "slave" respectively.
Undoubtedly the use of the word "nigger" — surely the most inflammatory word in the English language — makes Huckleberry Finn a tricky novel to teach. But that is not necessarily a reason for replacing it with a gentler bowdlerised term.
Twain was undoubtedly anti-racist. Friends with African American educator Booker T Washington, he co-chaired the Silver Jubilee fundraiser at Carnegie Hall for the Tuskegee Institute — a school run by Washington in Alabama to further "the intellectual and moral and religious life of the [African American] people".
As Twain himself said: Perhaps this is not a book for younger readers. Perhaps it is a book that needs careful handling by teachers at high school and even university level as they put it in its larger discursive context, explain how the irony works, and the enormous harm that racist language can do.
The minute you do this, the minute this stops being the book that Twain wrote.Racism in Schools - This unjust act of racism and inequality within the school system can be dated back to with the Plessy V. Fugurson case which resulted in " separate facilities for education" and an " equal education".
Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain - Huck Finn thought that Sawyer's way of going about the robbery and pretend murders were unplanned and sometimes made no sense. "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a fictional story of a white boy who helps his friend Jim escape slavery.
It is told from Huck's point of .
Twain's novel isn't some b.s. propaganda piece like Uncle Tom's Cabin to show the cruelties of slavery. Twain's book takes a comprehensive look at the relationship between white and black at the time.
Trevor Noah and The World's Fakest News Team tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture. Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was banned for the first time just one month after its publication.
"Not suitable for trash" was the opinion of the Concord, Massachussetts, librarians who banned it in

Q: PHP CLI - Opening Files in Browser I'm aware that i can run php scripts straight to my windows console via >php myscript.php
But, i was wondering if it's at all possible for me to run a script in a similar manner, but have it open inside my browser - just like loading a web page.
In my case, using $arguments = getopt("a:b:c:"); within the file
Then executing it in CLI like you would normally >php myfile.php -a foo -b bar -c baz but having the output just be the browser opening.
From all the documentation i've read, none of them seem to mention this is possible...

A: Yes, that's possible because php.exe comes with an built-in web server (since PHP 5.4.0+). Therefore you can run
http://localhost:10999/yourPHPscriptOnYourHarddrive.php

or
http://127.0.0.1:10999/yourPHPscriptOnYourHarddrive.php

In case you want to specify options, you would do it like with any other url,
http://127.0.0.1:10999/yourPHPscriptOnYourHarddrive.php?a=baz&b=qux

Here's a simple way (takes only a few minutes) how to run a PHP web server on Windows (I suppose you use Windows)

*

*Download PHP (ca. 20MB): https://windows.php.net/download/

*Put it into c:\php\ (or wherever you like it)

*(optional) Add c:\php to your PATH environment (Control Panel-> System-> Advanced System Settings-> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Path).

*Rename c:\php\php.ini-production to php.ini

*Start php by c:\php\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10700 -t d:\
Voila. Now you can have a PHP script locally on your hard disk in d:\foo\bar.php, and you can run/execute it by browsing with your browser to http://127.0.0.1:10700/foo/bar.php
(By the way, that's also for all those folks who need a replacement for QuickPHP, which isn't updated
 anymore).
Of course, you should adjust your port and your webroot, e.g. c:\php\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10700 -t d:\myweb
You can even have multiple php versions and have them run at the same time, distinguished by port, e.g.

*

*c:\php559\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10559 -t d:\ <-- PHP version 5.5.9

*c:\php70\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10700 -t d:\ <-- PHP version 7.0.0

*c:\php72\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10720 -t d:\ <-- PHP version 7.2.0

*c:\php72\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10999 -t d:\ <-- same PHP version but with a different port to signify that it's the newest version

*c:\php72b\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10721 -t d:\ <-- same PHP version
but in another folder with a different php.ini configuration,
distinguished by port.

You can verify that your PHP Servers on Windows are up and running by doing the following:

*

*Create a simple .php with the content <?php phpinfo(); ?>

*Save it as index.php in your webroot that you specified above, e.g. D:\

*Navigate with your browser to http://127.0.0.1:10559, http://127.0.0.1:10700, http://127.0.0.1:10720 and it will show you those different PHP versions.

If you start php from the command line, then the cmd.exe window stays open as long as the PHP webserver process is running. I have not found a way to effectively hide that command prompt aside from using "quiet.exe" (a third party tool, freeware).
To have my PHP server(s) immediately ready at Windows startup when I logon into Windows, I use a .bat batch script like this:
quiet.exe c:\php\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:10559 -t d:\
Tip:
Once you've installed PHP on windows (even without using it as a server), you will hardly ever need to write batch (.bat) anymore. I have replaced nearly all of my batch files with .php scripts. Instead of foo.bat, I use php foo.php. All commands that are available in batch files are also available in .php.

A: So, after some discussion here and some trial and error - while its possible to inject values like: php myfile.php -a foo -b bar -c baz
You can't then open the file in the browser with these values in it. The below works:
php myfile.php -a foo -b bar -c baz > output.php && start output.php
So, even though my original file had CSS styling and the like, it's still included within the output file. Which means i can also still add CLI outputs if neccesary.
The only problem would be that i dont think the results of the output could be paginated. Someone correct me if im wrong.

If you like frozen greens in the winter, just imagine how good it would taste if you had picked a bag yourself and then quickly froze it at home! It is also one of the simplest ways to put up a vegetable for the winter. Here's how to do it, complete instructions in easy steps and completely illustrated. The greens will taste MUCH better than anything you've ever had from a store.
fresh greens - any quantity. I figure one handful per serving.
Step 1 - Pick or select the greens!
This is the most important step! You need greens that are FRESH and crisp. Limp, old greens will make nasty tasting frozen greens. Select young, tender green leaves.
You can grow your own, pick your own, or buy them at the grocery store. About 14 pounds of greens makes 7 quart jars; or 9 pounds is needed per 9 pints. A bushel, which produces anywhere from 13 to 20 quarts, weighs 30 pounds. That works out to an average of 2 pounds of greens per finished quart jar.
Start with fresh greens - as fresh as you can get.
Step 2 - Wash the greens!
I'm sure you can figure out how to rinse the leaves in plain cold water. I use a large bowl of cold water and a colander to let them drain.
Get the pot of boiling water ready (about 2/3 filled) and a LARGE bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 5 - Blanch the greens.
All fruits and vegetables contain enzymes and bacteria that, over time, break down the destroy nutrients and change the color, flavor, and texture of food during frozen storage. greens requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Blanching times for collards is 3 minutes and all other greens 2 minutes..
Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the greens in the boiling water. Cover the kettle and boil at a high temperature for the required length of time. You may use the same blanching water several times (up to 5). Be sure to add more hot water from the tap from time to time to keep the water level at the required height.
Cool greens immediately in ice water. Drain the greens thoroughly (this shouldn't take more than a minute).
After vegetables are blanched, cool them quickly to prevent overcooking. Plunge the greens into a large quantity of ice-cold water (I keep adding more ice to it). A good rule of thumb: Cool for the same amount of time as the blanch step. For instance, if you blanch greens for 3 minutes, then cool in ice water for at least 3 minutes.
Pop them into the freezer, on the quick freeze shelf, if you have one!
Freezing keeps greens safe to eat almost indefinitely, but the recommended maximum storage time of 12 months is best for taste and quality. The quality of the frozen greens is maintained best in a very cold freezer (deep freezer), and one that keeps them frozen completely with no thaw cycles. Excluding any air from inside the bags which leads to freezer burn, by using vacuum-sealed bags, is also important to maintaining quality.
I've frozen greens but they seem so bland, starchy or rubbery after being cooked. Any idea why?
Generally, that means the greens were either old to being with, or they were overcooked. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes to blanch the greens, then plunge them immediately into ice water.
In general, up to 9 months in a ziploc bag in an ordinary freezer, and 14 months in a deep freeze in a vacuum packed bag. After that, they greens won't make you sick; they just won't taste a s good.

PORT OF LOS ANGELES RELEASES FINAL EIS/EIR ON SAN PEDRO WATERFRONT PROJECT
Harbor Commission to Consider Project at Sept. 29th Meeting
SAN PEDRO, Calif. — SEPT. 16, 2009 —The San Pedro Waterfront Project Final Environmental Statement/Final Impact Report (FEIS/FEIR) is now available on the Port's website. The Final Proposed Project Summary is also available online.
The documents will be available in hard copy at public libraries in San Pedro and Wilmington as well as the main library in downtown Los Angeles and at the Port's Administration Building, 425 S. Palos Verdes Street in San Pedro.
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners will consider the FEIS/FEIR at a special meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29 in the Liberty Hill Plaza building located at 100 W. Fifth Street, San Pedro (Harbor Blvd. and Fifth Street). The location is known to many as a Boys & Girls Club facility.
"After years of study, discussion and reaching out to stakeholders, the resounding message we've heard is that it's now time to move forward," said Port Executive Director Dr. Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. "This is a terrific and exciting project that will create a world-class waterfront on par with other world-renowned waterfront cities."
About the San Pedro Waterfront Project
The San Pedro Waterfront Project is focused on connecting the San Pedro community with the waterfront, enhancing community- and visitor-serving commercial opportunities in and around the Port, and maintaining the Port's position as a premier source of economic vitality for the region.
Through its proposed Project, the Port would complete eight miles of waterfront promenade, build three new harbors, and create acres of public open space with plazas, parks, and landscape and hardscape areas. As the community has voiced in many forums over recent years, pedestrian and bicycle access to the San Pedro Waterfront is an important element, so non-vehicular access principles were incorporated into the project and project alternatives. As a result, the project offers a variety of pedestrian and bicycle access over the bluffs above Ports O'Call and from downtown to the waterfront, including a continuous bike path, trail connections, clearly identified pedestrian crossings, and elimination of barriers to the waterfront, such as fences for freight rail operations.
Main components of the proposed Project include:
Waterfront Promenade
The proposed Project would feature a continuous 8-mile long and up to 30-foot wide promenade extending throughout the entire proposed project area and would serve as a spur of the California Coastal Trail along the waterfront.
Creation of Three New Harbors and a Public Pier at 7th Street
The proposed project would create an active public waterfront, more berthing space for harbor craft and day-trip boaters, and a closer waterfront connection with downtown San Pedro. The three new proposed harbors are: the North Harbor, Downtown Harbor and 7th Street Harbor. The Downtown Harbor would include a 1.5-acre cut to accommodate the Los Angeles Maritime Institute's TopSail Youth Program vessels, Port vessels and other visiting ships. The 7th Street Harbor would feature the 7th Street Pier, a public dock for short-term berthing of visiting vessels. The North Harbor cut, a 5.0 acre water cut located at Berths 87-90 that would bring the water to the edge of the existing Harbor Boulevard promenade, would be constructed at the end of the overall project construction period.
Open Spaces and Parks
The Town Square, a public plaza located in front of the Los Angeles Maritime Museum at the foot of 6th Street, would accommodate approximately 170 people for formal seating arrangements. The Town Square would include the Downtown Civic Fountain, a water feature designed to complement the civic setting of the nearby San Pedro City Hall Building. Approximately 27 acres of new parks would also be integrated throughout the project including the Fishermen's Park in Ports O'Call; San Pedro Park, an 18-acre "central park" designed to include an informal amphitheatre for harbor viewing, waterfront events, and concerts with lawn seating for approximately 3,000 people, and Outer Harbor Park, a 6-acre park providing great views of the Angel's Gate lighthouse from Kaiser Point.
The proposed Project would include new development and/or redevelopment opportunities for commercial- and maritime-related visitor-serving uses, development of new cultural attractions, relocation and/or renewing of existing tenant leases, expansion of the cruise ship facilities and provision of associated parking facilities.
Outer Harbor Cruise Facilities
The Proposed Project calls for construction of a cruise berth and terminal in the Outer Harbor in the near term. A second Outer Harbor berth and terminal would be entitled in the Proposed Project but construction would only commence if and when economic market conditions dictate. Parking to serve cruise passengers would be concentrated in the Inner Harbor parking area, where it is possible to accommodate parking for two Inner Harbor berths and one Outer Harbor berth with just surface parking. At full build-out, structured parking will be needed in the Inner Harbor to serve all cruise passengers.
Revitalizing Ports O' Call
The Proposed Project would provide opportunities for upgrading the existing Ports O'Call through redevelopment and new commercial development including a conference center. The Port intends to partner with a master developer to create a cohesive design throughout the Ports O'Call redevelopment.
Currently containing 150,000 square feet of under-utilized property comprising commercial, retail, and restaurant uses, Ports O'Call could increase up to a total of 300,000 square feet of development, with an additional 75,000 square foot conference center. The ultimate build-out size of Ports O' Call will depend on market demand and recommendations from the master developer.
Repurposing of Port Lands
Some land uses are proposed for demolition in order to better serve the needs of the community and visitors to the waterfront. These include demolition of the Southern Pacific Railyard and Westway Terminal Facilities and decommissioning of the Jankovich & Son fueling station. A new fueling station is proposed at Berth 240 on Terminal Island.
The proposed Project would involve a series of transportation improvements, including expansion of existing roadways; intersection, landscape, and parking improvements; extension of the Waterfront Red Car Line; and water taxi berthing opportunities. Key transportation elements assessed in the project FEIR/FEIS include:
Expansion and Realignment of Sampson Way
Sampson Way would be expanded to two lanes in each direction and curve near the Municipal Fish Market to meet with 22nd Street in its westward alignment east of Minor Street.
7th Street/Sampson Way Intersection Improvements
Sampson Way would be accessed by an enhanced four-way intersection at 7th Street. Access to Sampson Way from Harbor Boulevard via 6th Street would be eliminated to accommodate the proposed Town Square.
Harbor Boulevard
Harbor Boulevard would remain in place at its current capacity with two lanes in each direction. Proposed enhancements are consistent with design standards for the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Pacific Corridor and the City of Los Angeles Planning Department Community Design Overlay. Recommendations under consideration include consistency in street lighting design, pedestrian crossing pavement treatments, landscaping, signage, and sidewalks.
Waterfront Red Car Realignment and Extension
The Waterfront Red Car Line would be extended to Cabrillo Beach, the Outer Harbor, and City Dock No. 1.
Water Taxi Connection Opportunities
Access to the proposed Project area from other waterfront areas within the harbor could be facilitated by a number for opportunity sites for water taxi service, providing another transportation option that complements the mobility provided by the Waterfront Red Car line.
Sustainable Design Features
The proposed project incorporates many design features which are consistent with the Harbor Department's sustainability program and policies. The Waterfront project calls for reclaimed water to maintain landscaping, water features and flushing toilets in new buildings; Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification (minimum Silver) would be required for all new development over 7,500 square feet; drought-tolerant plants, natives and shade trees; permeable paving to reduce storm water run-off; solar power to maximum extent feasible; and numerous pedestrian, bicycle and Waterfront Red Car Line connections integrated into the project design.
The Port of Los Angeles is America's premier port and has a strong commitment to developing innovative strategic and sustainable operations that benefit the economy as well as the quality of life for the region and the nation it serves. As the leading seaport in North America in terms of shipping container volume and cargo value, the Port generates 919,000 regional jobs and $39.1 billion in annual wages and tax revenues. A proprietary department of the City of Los Angeles, the Port is self-supporting and does not receive taxpayer dollars.

The staff of the Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM), a currently unused facility in the heart of Istanbul, soon to be replaced by a cultural complex, have complained to authorities that they are "uneasy" about still receiving their salaries, despite not having done work for years since the close of the cultural center.
Located in Taksim Square in Beyoğlu, the iconic Atatürk Cultural Center has not been used since May 16, 2008, when a final concert was performed by the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra. Last year, daily Hürriyet's report titled "directors of the empty building" brought to light that a total of 58 personnel were still registered as employees of the unused facility. Since then, authorities have relocated four department managers, also reducing the number of security personnel from 25 to 21 and the number of cleaning staff from 11 to 10.
The staff of the unusued facility had recently taken the issue to the Turkish Prime Ministry's Information Center (BİMER)—to which complaints about public agencies can be made. Following the staff's application, the Culture and Tourism Ministry assigned an inspector to investigate the case, but the inspector's report on the issue did not lead to changes.
Afterwards, the staff applied to the Communications Center of the Presidency (CİMER) with a letter of complaint.
"In the AKM, there are 16 civil servants as well as 21 security and 10 cleaning personnel. Everyone sits around the whole day. The office allocated for the use of department managers has been given to the cleaning staff, who use it as a study room," read the letter.
The letter also said the official car allocated for the use AKM-related businesses was being utilized for "private affairs." The personnel's letter also claimed that in the last year and a half, 3,000 liters of gasoline had been used by the official car in question, which should not have been the case under normal circumstances as the facility was closed to any activities. The staff are now expecting an answer to be returned to them regarding their letter.
Meanwhile, demolition works at the AKM began on Feb. 13 to replace the center with a cultural complex that will include an opera house, an exhibition center and other facilities.
The new building will consist of a cultural center overlooking Taksim Square and Gezi Park. The opera house within the premises of the new building will host up to 2,500 people.
The new building to replace the AKM will also have theater, cinema and concert halls, an exhibition center, a convention hall, a library, a museum, an art gallery, cafés and restaurants.
The total size of the center will increase from 5,794 square meters to 35,206 square meters.
The White House said on April 19 that President Donald Trump spoke by phone earlier in the week and discussed "ongoing counterterrorism efforts" with Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar, leader of a military assault on the capital Tripoli in opposition to the internationally recognized government.


It has been some time since my last post, too long in fact but there have been major developments at the factory and whilst there is some awareness of these developments in the public domain the situation in China has changed almost on a weekly (and sometime daily) basis so it has been difficult to state definitively at any point in time what is the current position. However, understandably there are a lot of inaccurate rumours going around so this post will attempt to clarify what is the current position regarding Eureka Models in the turmoil which is currently engulfing the factory.
The signs had been there for sometime but in June this year we were summoned to our manufacturer's head office to discuss what turned out to be a major re-structuring of the company's activities. Our manufacturer, Sanda Kan is now owned by Kader the large toy manufacturer who also owns Backmann.
At the meeting company management opened procedings by stating that they were having problems maintaining deliveries (which we already knew) and that they intended to downsize the Sanda Kan operation to a more manageable size. This would be done by completing existing projects for customers but for the majority of customers no new projects would be commenced.
Now, whilst the suddeness of these decisions came as a surprise, as mentioned above, the signs that something was happening had been there for sometime and so Eureka had already started to make arrangements with an alternative supplier.
When Eureka first started with Sanda Kan Ivan was our project engineer. Ivan delivered the first four of our projects, all were excellent in terms of quality, accuracy and operation. Just over two years ago Ivan left Sanda Kan and in partnership with an existing manufacturer went into business for himself. Eureka kept in touch with him and early this year after seeing the quality of projects that he was delivering for other customers commissioned him to do a project for Eureka. This is the VR E wagon project outlined elsewhere.
The E wagon project is progressing well and so when the problems at Sanda Kan surfaced the decision was taken to switch all new projects to Ivan.
This is working well. Sanda Kan have been very supportive and have assisted the move of projects to Ivan. This is taking the pressure off them which I suspect they appreciate. In a recent discussion with a US based supplier the word that they used most in discussing their dealings with Sanda Kan was "chaos".
The current arrangement then is that Sanda Kan will complete the AD60 re-run, the 38 class re-run, the CPH/CTH sound units and the 40 class. Ivan has taken over the R class, HUB sets, NSWGR oil tankers, 59 class, 620/720 re-run and LCH/CCH re-run.
As stated above things are very fluid at Sanda Kan but I expect the above arrangements to hold. The move to Ivan will have very positive outcomes with the E wagon project already demonstrating the ability of Ivan to deliver quality items in a more timely manner.
There will be more problems in the short-term but once things settle down with Ivan I think that we will see a much improved delivery result which would be a pleasant change.

Bassmaster Elite: 'Hump Day' Here For Fishermen
Field narrows to 10 after today's round; Canadian angler claims second-day lead with 47 pounds
Friday's elimination round ended with 35 anglers making the cut for today's round as the BASS Elite pros launched at safe light from Palatka City Dock to try and bring a five-fish limit to the scales to seal a top 10 spot for Sunday's final round.
It's "hump-day" for the survivors of Friday's weigh-in at the Palatka Riverfront. The 25 below the cut number go home. The remaining 10 will be fishing Sunday for the first-place prize of $100,000.
The number of fish brought to the scales exceeded Thursday's count, including a number of big fish. Thursday's big bass was caught by John Crews Jr. of Salem, Virginia, weighing 11.2 pounds. Friday Clifford Pirch of Payson, Arizona, nearly matched that with a 10.4-pound largemouth.
Anglers reported the improved weather made the fishing better for many. Today's weather is reported to colder, with increased winds. Cliff Prince of Palatka feels the wind may help him in some of the areas he fishing.
"When the water is slick like today in certain areas the fish won't bite as well," he said. "With some wind and ripple on the water they will chase the bait more often."
Anglers remain closed-mouth for the most part about the where and how of their day, but they reported seeing more of the large female bass near on the beds. Some said they lost big fish, or have some spotted for today.
Friday's stats recorded some big shifts up and down the sheet.
Day One leader Robbie Latuso of Gonzales, Louisiana, with 25.2 pounds dropped to ninth with a two-day total of 39.1 pounds. The big jump up the list was the 2016 winner of the Elite Series on the St. Johns River, Rick Clunn of Ava, Missouri. The four-time Bassmaster Classic winner came from 23rd place to fifth to post a total of 41.0 pounds.
When asked by tournament emcee Dave Mercer if lightning would strike again for him to win back-to-back Elites on the St. Johns. Clunn replied with a stone face, "I can do without lightning, but I can win."
Chris Johnston of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. is leading with a total of 47.0 pounds, moving up from seventh.
Palatka's Cliff Prince turned a good creel Friday to increase his total to 36.9 pounds and moved from a tie for 18th to 14th place.
"I feel good about today," said Prince. "I have different areas to go to tomorrow."
In the last qualifying spot was Jay Yelas of Lincoln City, Oregon. He made the cut moving from 36th to 35th.
Anglers return to the weigh-in today at Riverfront Park starting at 4 p.m. The public is welcome. Free admission. Food and merchandise vendors are on site.

Yellowstone 's Cole Hauser Embraced Bathing Outside for Sexiest Man Issue: 'I'm Accustomed to It'
November 23, 2020, 9:00 AM ·4 min read
Cole Hauser Recreates 'Yellowstone' Outdoor Bathtub Scene for PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive Issue
The actor talks about his love of the outdoors, how he's spent his time with family during quarantine and more.
Never let it be said that Cole Hauser isn't an outdoorsman.
The actor, 45, who portrays Rip Wheeler on Paramount Network's hit series Yellowstone, was more than game to be shot in a water trough for the "Change of Scenery" portfolio in this year's Sexiest Man Alive issue. "I did a trip with a few buddies of mine in Costa Rica and we actually never went inside and had a proper shower," Hauser tells PEOPLE. "I'm pretty accustomed to it. It's refreshing and especially if the water temperature is right, it's just beautiful."
Shooting on "JD's ranch" on the Yellowstone set in Missoula, Hauser is featured in the same tub that the show's character Beth used for a spontaneous outdoor dip as well. "Minus the champagne or wine that she was drinking," he says, laughing.
The actor, who grew up in Santa Barbara and on a ranch in Oregon, recalls a childhood filled with riding horses and "cruising around with cows and all kinds of different animals that we had," he says. "My mom would ring the dinner bell and the horse that I used to have, Cinnamon, he'd come up and drop his head and I'd just slide down his mane and ride into the house. So I've always been outdoors."

Having been away from his wife Cynthia and their three kids—sons Ryland, 16, and Colt, 12, and daughter Steely, 7—while on location for the show's fourth season, Hauser says the pandemic has most taught him "just how important it is to take advantage of family," he explains. "It's been a little rough over the last couple of years just because I'm away for five months at a time. It's not easy to parent from afar. Steely is an absolute pistol, and they're great boys. When I'm away they kind of take over, making sure that mom and Steely are watched over. That's how I raised them and I'm proud of them for that."
A post shared by Cole Hauser (@colehauser22)
That's not to say being in Montana doesn't have its perks. "My favorite time of day is sunset and sunrise. Especially up here," he says. "I don't know if you can see these mountains behind us, but the sun basically comes right over this and over the Yellowstone ranch. And it goes right behind these mountains here into Trapper Peak. And it's just to die for. I mean, the magic hour here is just stunning."
While on set, Hauser has been training for his new film Panama with Mel Gibson, which was only amplified by his normal regimen for Yellowstone. "Horseback riding at a very high level is a hell of a workout for core and back and legs," he says. "Riding and roping and cutting and all the different disciplines that we do on the show, it'll keep you in shape."

Wheeler "is a meat and potatoes guy, so I wanted him to look that way," adds the actor of his role. "Now I'm trying to lean out so it's really about food and cardio and being able to lift my own weight. That's a big thing for me is just being life strong."
Another priority in Hauser's world is his relationship with his wife. "We've been together for 25 years," he says. "Through so many wonderful ups and downs as relationships do. We've stayed strong together and just battled through everything and still love each other."
In 10 years, the actor hopes to be "sitting on a beach with my wife, kids will be out of the house, and we'll have a nice little island somewhere," says Hauser, who will next star in the film The Last Champion. "We're just going to have our feet up, boat kind of out in the ocean, nothing too crazy. Just enjoying the second half of our life."
