Israel warns of imminent ground invasion of Gaza
Mike Head
Israel yesterday told an estimated 100,000 Gaza residents living in cities near the border with Israel to leave their homes immediately, in a clear warning of an imminent ground invasion of the densely-populated enclave that houses nearly two million Palestinians.
According to Israeli media reports, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) yesterday sent phone calls to people living in cities and towns, including Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and Absan al-Saghira, ordering them to evacuate and move to the west or south.
Residents are largely unable to leave the territory, however, because the US-backed military regime in Egypt, headed by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has closed the only possible border crossing, at Rafah, except temporarily for some injured people who need to seek hospital treatment.
After four days of relentless aerial bombardments, which have already killed 89 Gaza residents, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has approved a call-up of 40,000 IDF reservists. About 20,000 have already been mobilised to the Gaza border in anticipation of a possible ground assault.
In a statement televised following a meeting of his security cabinet, Netanyahu declared: "So far the battle is progressing as planned but we can expect further stages in future."
Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon added, "We have long days of fighting ahead of us."
The Israeli offensive is being intensified with the clear backing of the United States. President Barack Obama phoned Netanyahu late yesterday, reportedly offering to broker a ceasefire, while stressing his support for the view that Israel has the right to employ overwhelming force against Gaza, supposedly to defend itself.
Newly installed President Poroshenko pledges to militarise Ukraine and crush rebellion in the east
(L-R) Angela Merkel, Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Putin
With US Vice President Joseph Biden in the audience, Petro Poroshenko, a billionaire confectioner, was formally sworn in Saturday as president of Ukraine. Delivering a bellicose speech, he pledged to confront Russia, suppress the separatists in Ukraine's east and fully militarise the country. At the same time, he alluded to his plans to impose brutal austerity measures on the Ukrainian working class.
Poroshenko began by paying homage to the fascistic forces that spearheaded his installation, via a US- and European Union-backed putsch in February followed by an election held May 25 amid a reign of terror and military violence in eastern Ukraine. He enthused over the "victorious revolution" by "Ukrainian patriots" and "warriors."
While the Western media portrayed it as a powerful performance, the speech only underscored the fact that Poroshenko is nothing but a front man for German and particularly American imperialism, and is entirely dependent on them. Adopting a provocative stance toward Russia, he declared he would never accept Moscow's annexation of Crimea and vowed to repudiate the Budapest Agreement that restricts the deployment of Western military forces within former Soviet states.
"Russia occupied Crimea, which was, is and will be Ukrainian soil," Poroshenko insisted. Referring to a brief meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the D-Day commemoration in France, he said: "Yesterday, in the course of the meeting in Normandy, I told this to President Putin: Crimea is Ukraine soil. Period. There can be no compromise on the issues of Crimea, European choice and state structure."
Fresh from talks in France with US President Barack Obama, Poroshenko rejected any negotiations with pro-Russian separatist forces in Ukraine's east. He vowed instead to swiftly put an end to the resistance to February's pro-Western, fascist-led coup in Kiev.
He depicted those holding control in dozens of eastern cities and towns as "bandits," "criminals," "terrorists" and "Russian mercenaries," foreshadowing a renewed offensive by the Ukrainian military and allied right-wing militias.
Washington responsible for fascist massacre in Odessa
In what can only be described as a massacre, 38 anti-government activists were killed Friday after fascist-led forces set fire to Odessa's Trade Unions House, which had been sheltering opponents of the US- and European-backed regime in Ukraine.
According to eye-witnesses, those who jumped from the burning building and survived were surrounded and beaten by thugs from the neo-Nazi Right Sector. Video footage shows bloodied and wounded survivors being attacked.
The atrocity underscores both the brutal character of the right-wing government installed in Kiev by the Western powers and the encouragement by the US and its allies of a bloody crackdown by the regime to suppress popular opposition, centered in the mainly Russian-speaking south and east of Ukraine.
As the Odessa outrage occurred, US President Barack Obama, at a joint White House press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, explicitly endorsed the military offensive being carried out by the unelected Kiev government against protesters occupying official buildings in eastern Ukraine.
CIA director in Ukraine as Washington steps up threats against Russia
US imperialism and its [European puppets] are seeking to redraw the European map, strategically and militarily encircling Russia in order to dismember the Russian Federation. The ultimate aim is to assert unchallenged US hegemony over the Eurasian landmass.
Seizing upon spreading protests and building occupations in eastern Ukraine in response to February's Western-backed putsch in Kiev, the Obama administration is escalating its accusations, threats and provocations against Russia.
In the clearest sign of intensifying US involvement in the Ukraine crisis, the White House admitted—after vehement denials—that CIA Director John Brennan flew into Kiev over the weekend. Brennan arrived, under a false name, for discussions on how to further exploit the crisis that the US and its allies deliberately triggered by orchestrating the February coup.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov demanded an explanation about the nature of the undercover visit, and deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych accused Brennan of ordering a crackdown on protests in the east of the country.
The CIA initially ridiculed these accusations as "completely false." Yesterday, however, White House spokesman Jay Carney declared: "We don't normally comment on the CIA director's travel, but given the extraordinary circumstances in this case and the false claims being leveled by the Russians at the CIA, we can confirm that the director was in Kiev as part of a trip to Europe."
Ludicrously, Carney told reporters that "senior level visits of intelligence officials are a standard means of fostering mutually beneficial security cooperation, including US-Russian intelligence collaboration." He added that "to imply that US officials meeting with their counterparts is anything other than in the same spirit is absurd."
Leading US-backed Ukrainian politician calls for annihilation of Russia
"Beauty Will Save The World!": Feminine Strategies in Ukrainian
Politics...and the Case of Yulia Tymoshenko (Oksana Kis)
Yulia Tymoshenko, a former Ukrainian prime minister and leading backer of the new regime installed by last month's coup, has called for Ukrainians to take up arms against Russians and for the Western powers to reduce Russia to ashes.
In a phone call leaked online, Tymoshenko urged the murder of Russians and Russian President Vladimir Putin. "It's about time we grab our guns and kill those katsaps [a derogatory Ukrainian word] together with their leader," she said. (Available from the original source here and with RT's English translation here).
Tymoshenko also advocated the nuclear slaughter of the eight million Russians who remain on Ukrainian territory. She confirmed the authenticity of the conversation on Twitter, while claiming her call for the use of nuclear weapons was edited.
The phone conversation with Nestor Shufrych, former deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, was uploaded on YouTube on Monday by user Sergiy Vechirko. Shufrych had denied its veracity. The leaked tape is a damning exposure of the lies constructed by the US and its allies that the crisis over Ukraine and Crimea was triggered by Russian aggression. It reveals the real face of the regime installed with the support of fascistic forces in Ukraine.
The phone call took place on March 18, hours after the Crimea accession treaty was signed in the Kremlin, following the Crimean referendum vote to join Russia. Enraged by the referendum, Tymoshenko declared that she were in charge "there would be no f***ing way that they would get Crimea." Tymoshenko, who plans to run in Ukraine's presidential election, insisted that she would have found "a way to kill those a*****es."
EU-Ukraine trade pact paves way for brutal austerity
Arseniy ("Yats") Yatsenyuk (L) & Herman Van Rompuy
Amid intensifying US and European Union sanctions and military provocations against Russia, the EU and the Western-backed government in Ukraine yesterday signed a pact that paves the way for brutal austerity measures and free market "reforms."
The EU-Ukraine Association Agreement is based on the deal that former President Viktor Yanukovych's Ukrainian government rejected, leading to the US- and EU-instigated protests and violence that ousted him last month.
The pact, signed in Brussels, declares that the Ukrainian government must "embark swiftly on an ambitious program of structural reforms" and submit to "an agreement with the [International Monetary Fund]." The plans being drawn up are based on the "Greek model"—the savage cuts imposed on Greece by the IMF and the EU that have produced a massive growth in unemployment and poverty.
For all their claims of a "democratic revolution," the EU leaders and Ukraine's unelected regime of former bankers, fascists and oligarchs announced that they would delay finalizing the economic clauses of the EU association pact—and hence unveiling the austerity measures—until after elections in May.
The pact is another step toward realising the underlying objectives of the Ukrainian coup—Ukraine's integration into the orbit of the Western powers, the transformation of the country into a cheap labour platform for global capitalism and the ratcheting up of economic and strategic pressure on Russia itself.
Afghanistan aid conference signals indefinite foreign occupation
The truth is that the US and its allies, and all those who have collaborated with them, are guilty of war crimes.
The United States and its allies convened a so-called aid conference for Afghanistan in Tokyo last Sunday, where donor countries pledged to provide about $4 billion a year in civil programs beyond 2014, when most foreign combat troops are scheduled to leave the country.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, head of the country's puppet regime, absurdly declared: "Today's Tokyo conference will go down in the developing history of Afghanistan as a milestone on the country's long journey to self-reliance, prosperity, stability and peace."
The truth is that more than ten years after the October 2001 US-led invasion, which has devastated Afghanistan and its people, the conference was another preparation for an indefinite de facto foreign occupation. The one-day Tokyo gathering, attended by about 70 countries and organisations, was the third recent step taken by the Obama administration to cement Washington's grip over Afghanistan far beyond the troop "draw down."
Just a day before the Tokyo meeting, the US nominated the Afghan regime as its 16th "major non-NATO ally" (MNNA), making it formally eligible for military training, loans of equipment, and financing to lease weaponry.
Further evidence of secret US indictment of Julian Assange
"Australian authorities, acting on the instructions of the Gillard government, are heavily involved in the conspiracy against Assange."
Internal emails obtained from the US private intelligence firm Stratfor indicate that the Obama administration has had a secret indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for more than 12 months. The emails, published by WikiLeaks this week, also point to the close involvement of the Australian Labor government and intelligence agencies in the operation against Assange, an Australian citizen.
The emails were sent by Fred Burton, Stratfor's vice-president for counterterrorism and corporate security. Burton is a former Deputy Chief of the US Department of State's counterterrorism division for the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). The DSS is playing a leading investigative role in the ongoing operation to extradite Assange to the US, where he would be tried under the Espionage Act of 1917 and could face the death penalty.
In January 2011, Burton revealed in Stratfor correspondence that a secret Grand Jury had issued an indictment: "Not for Pub—We have a sealed indictment on Assange. Pls protect." According to Burton: "Assange is going to make a nice bride in prison. Screw the terrorist. He'll be eating cat food forever."
A few weeks earlier, following Assange's release from a London jail, where he had been remanded as a result of a Swedish prosecutor's arrest warrant, Burton told SkyNews: "extradition [to the US is] more and more likely."
Burton's emails indicate that the US government is employing the same "counter-terrorism" methods against WikiLeaks as against Al Qaeda, "Take down the money. Go after his infrastructure. The tools we are using to nail and de-construct Wiki are the same tools used to dismantle and track aQ [Al Qaeda]," he wrote.
Later Burton pointed to a relentless dirty tricks and destabilisation operation. "Ferreting out [Assange's] confederates is also key. Find out what other disgruntled rogues inside the tent or outside [sic]. Pile on. Move him from country to country to face various charges for the next 25 years. But, seize everything he and his family own, to include every person linked to Wiki."
Egyptian military commands a vast business empire
Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi
Egypt's military has been presented by the Obama administration, as well as by the leaders of Egypt's official "opposition," such as Mohamed ElBaradei, as the guarantor of an "orderly transition" to a new democratic order. This is false to the core. The generals have a long record of repression against the working class, starting with the court-martial and execution of two textile workers' strike leaders just a month after the 1952 military coup that inaugurated the Nasser regime (see: "The Egyptian working class moves to the forefront").
Contrary to the myth of the armed forces' neutrality, every acute crisis of the military-backed dictatorship has seen troops mobilised to suppress working class discontent. These occasions included the 1977 food riots triggered by the implementation of World Bank and International Monetary Fund-ordered price rises, and an uprising of police conscripts in Cairo and other cities in 1986.
Last August, eight employees of Military Factory 99 were placed on trial—in a military court—for calling a strike. The workers had demanded safer working conditions, as they are formally entitled to do under Egyptian law, after a boiler exploded, killing one civilian worker and injuring six. The strikers were charged with "disclosing military secrets" and "illegally stopping production". In the end, after a quick trial, three were acquitted and the five others received suspended sentences. The outcome was regarded as lenient, but the military had sent an unmistakeable message. "There are no labor strikes in military society," a retired army general, Hosam Sowilam, told the New York Times.
In addition to its unabiding commitment to maintain the capitalist order as a whole, Egypt's officer caste commands its own huge business empire, which has mushroomed since the 1952 coup. Military Factory 99, at Helwan, in Cairo's south, is a prime example. The plant produces a wide variety of consumer goods—stainless steel pots and pans, fire extinguishers, scales, cutlery—in addition to its primary function of forging metal components for heavy ammunition.
Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi, a life-long henchman of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, remains both Defence Minister and Minister of Military Production, posts he has held since 1991. That makes him not only the commander-in-chief of the military junta but, in effect, the chief executive officer of a giant military-run commercial enterprise.
Australian media organisations, Labor MPs attack persecution of Julian Assange
"The mounting divisions in the [Australian] government reflect growing differences within the [...] ruling elite over the nature of Australia's political, strategic and military relations with the US, under conditions where the US is in historic decline and tensions are rapidly rising between Washington and Beijing."
Representatives of nearly all the mainstream Australian media organisations today released an open letter to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, condemning her denunciations of the WikiLeaks publication of secret US diplomatic cables as "illegal". The letter declares that "the reaction of the US and Australian governments to date has been deeply troubling" and states: "We will strongly resist any attempts to make the publication of these or similar documents illegal."
The document was signed by 26 editors and news directors, including from the Murdoch and Fairfax media empires, the four national commercial television networks, the two government-owned broadcasters, the ABC and SBS, and two other radio stations. It declares its opposition to attempts to use Australian law or criminal charges to assist the US-led witch-hunt against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian citizen. "There is no evidence, either, that Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have broken any Australian law. The Australian government is investigating whether Mr Assange has committed an offence, and the Prime Minister has condemned WikiLeaks' actions as 'illegal'. So far, it has been able to point to no Australian law that has been breached."

Triple Talaq Ordinance is wholly justified
News, Spotlight September 22, 2018 indica
Justice Markandey Katju
Many people have criticized the recent Ordinance issued by the President of India Ram Nath Kovind criminalizing the practice of triple talaq among Indian Muslims. Triple talaq was the practice by which a Muslim husband could simply say 'talaq' three times orally or in writing to his wife to end the marriage.
Some time back the Indian Supreme Court in Shayaro Bano vs Union of India (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shayara_Bano) declared triple talaq to be illegal by a 3-2 majority verdict.
However, as mentioned by Indian Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in a press conference recently, despite this judgment, over 200 cases of triple talaq were reported even after the verdict. Hence, the Indian government decided to make it a criminal offense. Under the new Ordinance, a person who pronounces triple talaq may be sent to jail for up to three years and be also liable to pay a fine.
Some critics of this Ordinance say that when the Supreme Court held triple talaq to be illegal, there was no need for a law criminalizing it.
The answer is that a section of Indian Muslims believe that their law is sharia and that they cannot accept court verdicts. Hence, fear had to be put into the minds of such people. The law as drawn up the legislature or as declared by the courts is above sharia and has to be accepted by all.
Others ask that if the husband is sent to jail who will provide for the wife and children? The answer is that an amendment can be made in the law to have the husband's property attached and sold to provide for them. It is not an insuperable difficulty.
Yet other critics say that since the Supreme Court had already declared triple talaq to be illegal, the Ordinance really criminalizes abandoning the wife. If that is so, why should the law be religion-specific? Why not punish all husbands who abandon their wives? why only Muslims?
The answer is that a law cannot be declared unconstitutional merely because it does not include everyone. For instance, a law prohibiting the use of a loudspeaker near a hospital cannot be struck down as violating the equality provision in the constitution merely because it does not prohibit the use of car horns or shouting near hospitals, or because it does not make a similar prohibition for use of loudspeakers near schools. Most laws are to some extent selective and underinclusive.
As the celebrated judge of the US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes pointed out, the government must be "allowed a little play in the joints." The legislature can see degrees of harm, and deal with those selectively. The barbaric practice of triple talaq was found only among Muslims, and so the Ordinance aims at crushing this inhuman practice among them.

Nothing can make a person feel old as reading the history of events for which one was present. This is the case with Carliner's Computers and Technical Communication in the 21st Century in Digital Literacy for Technical Communication by Rachel Spilka. As I read the history of technical communicators and the evolution of computers, one thought stood out: I was there.
I was there when mainframe and mini computers were used in banking. Right out of high school, I worked for a bank whose mainframe computer was housed at another location and connected to our minis via telephone line. I remember how awed we were when our computer buzzed and a pop up window opened with the Digital Tech style font from someone at the main branch. That was the earliest form of texting and we thought we were very advanced, technologically.
When I wrote for a newspaper, many years ago, I turned my copy in to the typist who would type it and submit it and send it back to be arranged on actual newspaper sized pages. When we created ads, we didn't use computers. We designed them by paging through hundreds of volumes of "clip art." When we found what we wanted to use, we would photo copy it. Our copiers were the best in the business. We would enlarge or reduce the size of the art with the copier. For words, we would submit in writing what we needed printed. One person would create the copy, and we used the copiers to manipulate the size of the font. We would then cut it out and glue it with our artwork into a specific sized ad to be glued on larger sheets that made up the newspaper. Many years later, when I took a group of students to tour the newspaper, I was envious of the ease at which the writers could create and submit their pieces. The advertising art department was much smaller and didn't involve glue and scissors. I'm not sure if they're still called "Paste Up Artists," but they now use Photoshop, Illustrator, and other software to create the art.
I learned HTML so that I could write up nice adds for Ebay. Today, I can use Ebay without having to write code. I was one of those people that Carliner described, buying the cheapest PC I could find (IBM Aptiva). I watched as companies that I worked for purchased technology packages and had people come in and set up systems, teaching us all how to use new software. I noticed when mainframes gave way to PC's, and I sat in meetings where we discussed which software would serve our needs best. As I read through the chapters, I recognized each significant change and phase since I had also experienced it. I used libraries instead of Google, typewriters instead of word processing software, correction tape instead of a delete key, and glue & scissors instead of Photoshop. I was there to watch the technological revolution (and I'm still young).

Thank you for sharing your experiences and observations.
I love your description of literally copying and pasting physical pieces of paper. Sometimes, when I'm having trouble visualizing how I want a document to look, I'll follow a similar process: print out the page and all the elements, cut out the elements and physically move them around on the page until they look right.
I have tons of respect for page setters, paste-uppers, typesetters–anyone whose job it was to make pages look right before modern desktop publishing. The attention to detail required must have been second only to the amount of time it took to get everything just right. My parents had a printing press (similar to this one: http://www.timtim.com/public/images/drawings/large/2949_Printing-Press.gif ) and thousands of drawers of wood and lead movable type. I learned firsthand the labor of love that went into printing.
I find it interesting that you no longer need to use HTML for Ebay listings. In my experience with WYSIWYG editors (primarily WordPress these days), I almost always need to go into the "HTML" mode on the editor if I'm doing anything more complicated than, say, basic headings and text. Even though my grasp of it is pretty rudimentary, I find that raw HTML is more powerful than the editor and more flexible by far.
Wow, It's sort of amazing that you've been through so much of technological history. What;s your opinion of the past few decades, coming from the background of typesetting and typewriters? I imagine it's very different than those of us who grew up or at least were in our formative years with some form of easy access technology.
This are excellent details and perhaps even the start of an idea for your final paper. While those need to be research-based, an autobiographical/auto-ethnographic take on the field of tech comm [and journalism] would be fascinating!
I like how you've experienced a lot of technology in your lifetime! That gives me hope that I'll experience a shift like what you experienced with whatever new technology will come up next in the future.
When you mentioned copiers and having to manipulate the look of the artwork for ads, something popped in my head: Ditto Machines–the kind that made "copies" with a light purple ink. I remember them in elementary school, particularly the ones that had a rotary dial on the side of them and they made a distinct duplicator sound. I had to search the internet to remember what they sound like. What a wonderful time we live in where I can find a video of something from decades ago instantly.

Life needs to be right.
Love can be stuck with survival.
Or give in to preserve life.
He will always catch her in a lie.
She wants to use him to get her own way.
He will show her right from wrong.
Together they will use love to live life.
Together they will have a second chance.
To overcome survival is to be truly committed to living the 'good life'.
Everyone has a choice: 'fight or flight' or 'live and die'.
It's a good life to die hard: living and love is the hardest choice, but for me the best way to be.

Tower block for general services and directorate
In the late sixties, the 79-metre-high Shell Tower was built on the north bank of the IJ, opposite Amsterdam's central station. At that time, it was one of the tallest civil buildings in Amsterdam. Because of the limited space, Arthur Staal decided to build high for this new office building. In so doing, he broke with the strict horizontality of the existing building development and, moreover, positioned the building diagonally – 'overhoeks' – in relation to the IJ waterfront.
The building 'Overhoeks' is built on 426 piles on the 22 metre deep second layer of sand, because the first layer of sand, which is commonly used, at a depth of thirteen metres was not firm enough. The fifteen-storey tower block is supported by four pylons of untreated concrete. Protruding between these enormous pylons is a low wing which contains a conference room and which functions as an entrance building. One of the pylons stands in the entrance foyer, as part of an interior with eye-catching seventies features.
On top of the tower is a canopy made of polyester and polyurethane foam in which four stylized Shell shells have been cut out. Immediately underneath this canopy, on top of the body of the building, is a viewing cabin. The orientation of the canopy and the entrance wing parallel to the IJ waterfront accentuates the diagonal rotation of the body of the building. In view of the pollution in the industrialized environment of Amsterdam-Noord, the facades are clad with anthracite-coloured elements of shock concrete. The use of insulating glazing, provided with an extremely thin layer of evaporated gold, gives Overhoeks a golden appearance when the sun is low in the sky. (ARCAM/SR)

Bombardier to acquire Global 7500 aircraft wing program from Triumph Group Inc.
Bombardier enters into a definitive agreement to acquire Triumph's Global 7500 wing manufacturing operations and assets
Acquisition will secure the production ramp-up and long-term success of Bombardier's Global 7500 program
Bombardier will continue to operate the production line and integrate the employees currently supporting the program at Triumph's Red Oak, Texas facility
Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019 for a nominal cash consideration
Acquisition will strengthen Bombardier's position as a leading aerostructures manufacturer
Transaction is not expected to impact Bombardier's consolidated 2019 EBIT and free cash flow(1) guidance, and 2020 targets
Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) today announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Global 7500 wing program from Triumph Group Inc. (NYSE: TGI). The acquisition will strengthen Bombardier's position as a leading aerostructures manufacturer and secure the production ramp-up and long-term success of Bombardier's flagship business jet.
The acquired operations will be incorporated into Bombardier's Aerostructures and Engineering Services segment. To support a seamless transition of wing production and deliveries for the Global 7500 program, which successfully entered into service in December 2018, Bombardier will enter into a lease agreement for Triumph's Red Oak, Texas, facility and continue to operate the production line with the employees currently supporting the program.
"This acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for Bombardier Aerostructures," said Danny Di Perna, President, Bombardier Aerostructures and Engineering Services. "It will allow us to bring our extensive technical expertise to one of the industry's biggest growth programs, while solidifying our position as a leading wing provider. We look forward to welcoming the Triumph employees to Bombardier and ensuring the success of the Global 7500 program."
The acquisition of the program's assets and obligations for a nominal cash consideration is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019, subject to certain closing conditions. Bombardier will assume ongoing working capital investments and usual costs associated with the program's production ramp-up, which are expected to fall within Bombardier's consolidated 2019 EBIT before special items and free cash flow guidance ranges, and 2020 objectives.
On a business segment level, Aerostructures revenue guidance for 2019 is adjusted upwards to between $2.25 billion to $2.50 billion, reflecting additional intersegment revenues. The segment's 2019 EBIT margin before special items(1) guidance is also adjusted to approximately 7.5%, reflecting marginal earnings from these additional sales during the program ramp-up. For 2020, the EBIT margin before special items objective of 9% to 11% remains unchanged.
At Business Aircraft, the 2019 EBIT margin before special items guidance of approximately 7.5% remains unchanged. For 2020, Business Aircraft now targets 50 basis points of margin growth to approximately 8%, the low-end of the previously provided objective, reflecting the short-term impact of maturing the Global 7500 wing production process.
Bombardier Extends Learjet Aircraft Engine Maintenance Intervals as the Fleet Celebrates 25 Million Flight-hour Milestone
Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft operators benefit from extended engine inspection intervals, further reducing operating costs and downtime
The ultimate business tools, Learjet aircraft feature industry leading performance and direct bottom line benefits
Bombardier's Learjet fleet celebrates 25 million flight hours
Learjet 75 aircraft features the quietest and most private cabin in its class, an eight-seat double-club configuration, a smooth ride and the only flat floor in its segment
Bombardier announced that Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft operators now benefit from lengthened intervals between recurring major powerplant inspections, which have been extended from 3,000 to 3,500 engine hours. This interval extension directly benefits the bottom lines of operators by reducing the number of repeat inspections over the lifecycle of the engine, thereby decreasing operating costs over the lifecycle of the aircraft. This announcement comes as Bombardier's fleet of trailblazing Learjet aircraft has surpassed the 25 million flight-hour mark, adding yet another achievement to an impressive string of Learjet milestones and firsts. The first Learjet business aircraft entered service in 1964, creating the experience and defining the industry of private flight.
"This is a significant milestone for our pace-setting Learjet aircraft family and for the industry. The Learjet platform is designed to deliver immediate returns as a business productivity tool. Reliability and longevity are two of the reasons customers among Fortune 500 companies continue to choose Learjet as the most trusted light jet platform," said Peter Likoray, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
As the best-equipped and best-performing aircraft within the light category, the Learjet 70 and the Learjet 75 aircraft bring the features of a much larger jet to a light aircraft platform. Both aircraft are certified to Part 25 airworthiness standards, the industry's highest safety standards, applicable to transport category aircraft and commercial airliners.
Bombardier is continuing to invest to support its in-service fleet and the Learjet family. Bombardier recently announced a comprehensive Garmin G5000 avionics upgrade, which will allow customers to optimize their routes and will pave the way for future technological enhancements. The upgrade will be offered as forward and retrofit for in-service Learjet aircraft.
Since acquiring the Learjet Corporation in 1990, Bombardier has introduced an impressive eight new models, including the best-selling Learjet 75 aircraft, which entered service in 2013.

The Sun Moon Lake is one of the reasons why most visitors go to Taichung, because it is the nearest city from which to travel to this great attraction. In this installment of our Taiwan Travel Guide Series, we show you how to get from Taichung to the Sun Moon Lake.
If you are staying near Fengjia Night Market, board Ho-Hsin Bus 160 from opposite McDonald's at Fengjia Night Market. If you are staying at Beacon Hotel, this bus stop is just opposite the street from the hotel. This journey can take up to an hour depending on traffic conditions, so do plan your time carefully.
At the Taichung HSR Station, purchase tickets for Route A Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus at the ticket booth at Exit 5.
One day pass for the round-the-lake bus. The round-the-lake bus is most useful if you plan on visiting other attractions around the perimeter of the lake, such as the Wenwu Temple (文武庙) and the Ci-en Pagoda (慈恩塔).
15% discount voucher for bicycle rental at the listed shops and discount vouchers for selected F&B shops.
This package cost NT790 (about SGD$34.70) at the time of writing. For more information, refer to the official website.
You may want to take a day tour from Taichung instead of public transport. In this tour, you will enjoy a fun-filled Sun Moon Lake experience while cruising around Taiwan's largest lake on a mountain bike, soaring over the vast body of water in a cable car and discovering the tiny island of Lalu. Click here for more information.
This is a 1.5 hours bus ride from Taichung HSR Station with one stop at Puli. You can check the Sun Moon Lake website for the bus schedule.
This same bus passes through Taichung Gancheng Station and Taichung Railway Station before it reaches the Taichung HSR Station. You may wish to purchase tickets and board at these stops if it is more convenient for you.
The bus will drop you directly at the Sun Moon Lake Boat Ticket office. From there, you can follow the signages and make your way directly to Shuishe Pier (水社碼頭) to take the ferry across the lake to Ito Thao Pier where the Ropeway and the Ito Thao Shopping Street is.
If, however, you are looking to hire bicycles for a hike, the walk towards Shuishe Pier is one of the best points to do so. If you have not purchased a Sun Moon Lake pass, then you will need to purchase ferry tickets from one of the operators at Shuishe Pier.
From the same drop-off stop at the Boat Ticket office, wait for the return bus to Taichung HSR. Refer to the printed bus schedule that comes with the purchase of the tickets.
To save time and money, you may want to consider a three-day tour of Taiwan's top attractions: Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, and Cingjing Farm. Wander through ancient forests and and pastoral landscapes. Enjoy stunning views of the country's largest body of water. Click here for more information.

Q: concurrent connections in urllib3 Using a loop to make multiple requests to various websites, how is it possible to do this with a proxy in urllib3?
The code will read in a tuple of URLs, and use a for loop to connect to each site, however, currently it does not connect past the first url in the tuple. There is a proxy in place as well.
list = ['https://URL1.com', 'http://URL2.com', 'http://URL3.com']
for i in list:
    http = ProxyManager("PROXY-PROXY")
    http_get = http.request('GET', i, preload_content=False).read().decode()

I have removed the urls and proxy information from the above code. The first URL in the tuple will run fine, but after this, nothing else occurs, just waiting. I have tried the clear() method to reset the connection for each time in the loop.

A: unfortunately urllib3 is synchronous and blocks. You could use it with threads, but that is a hassle and usually leads to more problems. The main approach these days is to use some asynchronous network. Twisted and asyncio (with aiohttp maybe) are the popular packages.
I'll provide an example using trio framework and asks:

A: Using threads is not really that much of a hassle since 3.2 when concurrent.futures was added:
from urllib3 import ProxyManager
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor,wait

url_list:list = ['https://URL1.com', 'http://URL2.com', 'http://URL3.com']
thread_pool:ThreadPoolExecutor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=min(len(url_list),20))
tasks = []

for url in url_list:
    def send_request() -> type:
        # copy i into this function's stack frame
        this_url:str = url
        # could this assignment be removed from the loop?
        # I'd have to read the docs for ProxyManager but probably
        http:ProxyManager = ProxyManager("PROXY-PROXY")
        return http.request('GET', this_url, preload_content=False).read().decode()
    tasks.append(thread_pool.submit(send_request))

wait(tasks)
all_responses:list = [task.result() for task in tasks]

Later versions offer an event loop via asyncio. Issues I've had with asyncio are usually related to portability of libraries (IE aiohttp via pydantic), most of which are not pure python and have external libc dependencies. This can be an issue if you have to support a lot of docker apps which might have musl-libc(alpine) or glibc(everyone else).

Home / West Central / Vernon County / Genoa
Genoa was named after Genoa, Italy, since it was founded and settled by persons of mostly Italian descent. It was established in 1854, originally platted as Bad Axe City. Historically, Genoa was a regular port for steamboats and an important avenue for railroads. Today, railroad and river traffic are still vital modes of commerce, traversing the rails and passing through the locks at Lock & Dam #8. In addition to river and rail commerce, early industry included two clamshell button factories and occupations of limestone quarrying.
Explore Genoa
The oldest known white settler on the site of this picturesque river town was David Hastings, who erected the first house in 1853. Genoa was the location of a steamboat landing, which was referred to as Hastings Landing. Early residents depended on the Mississippi for livelihoods, as well as for news from the outside world, in a time when steamboats provided the only form of communication and transportation. In 1884, the Chicago, Burlington & Northern Railroad completed its route through Genoa. It offered freight and passenger service for the residents and gave the village much closer access to the larger city of La Crosse. Passenger service gave way to the automobile in the early 1930's and freight service was ended in the early 1960s.
Genoa attracts fisherman all over the Midwest (via boat or from Clements famous fishing barge) for great walleye, bass and panfish. The variety of fish is stupendous. The area also draws hunters for the deer and turkey seasons, and in the summer months boaters and campers traverse the Mississippi main channel and its adjacent sandbars. Many bikers travel by on the Great River Road or on the many side roads winding from the valley, along the limestone bluffs and to scenic ridgetops and farmland expanses.
The Genoa National Fish Hatchery is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Genoa is a very diverse station, called a combination station, because it is able to raise cold, cool, and warm water species of fish and aquatic animals. Due to changes in national fisheries program priorities, the station now concentrates on the recovery of Threatened and Endangered Aquatic species, such as Higgins Eye pearly mussel, and restoration of threatened fish populations such as sturgeon and coaster brook trout. Sport fish are also provided to Fish and Wildlife refuges to increase recreational opportunities on Fish and Wildlife Service managed land.


Congress' longest-serving Puerto Rican member will not seek re-election in 2020, according to his office.
U.S. Rep. José E. Serrano revealed Monday that he has been living with Parkinson's disease, and announced he will not seek re-election in 2020.
In a letter posted on his official website, the 75-year-old Bronx leader said he originally intended to keep working despite his diagnosis, however he now cannot commit past his current term.
"I've come to the realization that Parkinson's will eventually take a toll, and that I cannot predict its rate of advancement. Because of this uncertainty, I do not intend to seek re-election in 2020," he said in the letter.
Serrano, who was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the Bronx as a child, served in the state Assembly from 1975 to 1990. He was elected to the House of Representatives in a special election in 1990, and succeeded Robert García.
He is currently the longest-serving Puerto Rican member of Congress, according to his office.
Bronx Borough President Rubéen Díaz Jr. praised Serrano for his decades of work.
"He is a trailblazer in every sense of the word. I salute the congressman's service, and I wish him nothing but the best in his fight against Parkinson's disease," he said in a statement.
Serrano said he will use the rest of his tenure to focus on issues important to the South Bronx, including a fair and accurate 2020 Census.

By law, most products (including stretch mark removal creams) must list their ingredients in order from the most ingredient being first to the least ingredient being last. Most creams on the market contain water as the first ingredient. Some also have a lot of additives and fillers listed before the actual key or effective "active" ingredients. The further down the list the key ingredients are listed, the less of each of these ingredients the cream actually contains.
So basically, if a cream is going to help get rid of stretch marks, it must contain high amounts of the essential key ingredients that are crucial for skin repair. Some key vital ingredients in a stretch mark cream include collagen and elastin, but the ingredients alone won't help much. They must be delivered 'deeply' into the skin where they can go to work.
A good treatment for stretch marks must also have an effective delivery system such as emu oil or liposomes (or both if possible). These 'carrier' ingredients help to deliver the key ingredients down to the damaged area where they can help get rid of stretch marks.
75 to 90 percent of all pregnant women develop stretch marks during pregnancy, but they aren't the only ones susceptible. Young adults who experience growth spurts and bodybuilders who practice strenuous and repetitive exercise are likely to get stretch marks.
Does the product have a good "delivery" system such as emu oil, liposomes or some other type of 'carrier'?
