'GTA 6' might be slightly smaller than the Grand Theft Auto V upon its release
Grand Theft Auto V / Facebook
Saturday, April 18, 2020 1:43 PM UTC
There have been various rumors about the highly anticipated "GTA 6" circulating lately. The two most recent ones offer different estimates as to the progress of the title at the moment.
One source suggests that "Rockstar's next game is a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series that is still in early development," according to Metro. The publication revealed that it sourced its information from Kotaku.
Meanwhile, Kotaku writer Jason Schreier also hinted that it might take some time for the Grand Theft Auto VI to hit the market. "The next GTA is still a ways away, so it'll be a while before we see whether the company's attempts to mitigate crunch are really successful, but in the last year Rockstar has made several quality-of-life improvements and replaced managers that staff described as toxic," Schreier posted on Twitter.
While Schreier might have his own extensive sources at Rockstar, another leaker did not agree with his claim about "GTA 6" being still in early development. GTA fan TezFunz2, who was proven himself to be a reliable insider, believes that the upcoming title is already halfway done.
"Next title, a new GTA title is in 'early stages of development'?" TezFunz2 posted on Twitter. "It's hard to believe that when I'm hearing it's 'halfway done' or even beyond that."
Rockstar has been implementing management changes that might affect the "GTA 6" development. The company has been previously criticized for its practice of making its employees work "nights and weekends to finish video games," a practice known as crunch.
According to Kotaku, Rockstar is mulling on the possibility to release a moderately-sized "GTA 6" and have it expand later on via DLCs. This would lessen the workload of its employees and might lessen the amount of crunch to finish it.
"One plan that management has laid out for the next game, a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, is to start out with a moderately sized release (which, by Rockstar's standards, would still be a large game) that is then expanded with regular updates over time, which may help mitigate stress and crunch," Kotaku wrote.

After Gaining Weight, Joe Pesci Sues Gotti Producers
Joe Pesci in 'Goodfellas.'
Things have been a little tumultuous behind the scenes of the soon-to-shoot Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father. The John Travolta mob drama has already hired, fired, rehired, and potentially refired Lindsay Lohan, and it lost its first director, Nick Cassavetes, only to replace him with Barry Levinson. Now, actor Joe Pesci is suing the film's producers, claiming that after he'd made a $3 million deal to play Gotti's enforcer Angelo Ruggiero, producers tried to downgrade him to a smaller, less lucrative role. Even worse: He'd already gained 30 pounds to look more like Ruggiero, which the lawsuit notes he "ended his very strict and healthy diet" to do. If only Fred Gwynne were still alive to handle this dispute. [TMZ]


Caroline Garcia of France celebrates after beating Simona Halep of Romania in China Open tennis tournament women's singles final in Beijing on Sunday.
BEIJING - Unseeded Caroline Garcia of France won her second title in as many weeks as she stunned new world number one Simona Halep in the closely fought final of the China Open on Sunday.
Garcia is in the form of her life and edged out the Romanian second seed 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) to add the China Open to the Wuhan Open title she lifted last weekend, making it five WTA crowns in all.
Garcia's feat was all the more remarkable because she was carrying a leg injury that has required frequent on-court treatment and completed a mammoth three-set quarter-final win well past midnight on Friday evening.
The 23-year-old, who is set to rise from number 15 to nine in the world, sank to her knees in relief on the hard court when she finally sealed victory in the second-set tie break.
With rain teeming down outside ahead of what turned out to be a cracker, a leak in the Diamond Court stadium roof had threatened to dampen proceedings.
But that was soon fixed and there was little between the two players until Garcia broke Halep in the 10th game to grab the first set.
The 26-year-old Halep had the superior mobility -- Garcia had her right thigh strapped -- but the French player was making the better shots.
One forehand winner was greeted with gasps from the mostly full arena in Beijing.
The second set was even more competitive and the attritional seventh game turned out to be a turning point.
Garcia was 0-40 down on her own serve until dragging it to 40-40 and then saving half a dozen break points before somehow winning the game to go 4-3 up.
The duo raced into the tie break, but Garcia now had the momentum and she held her nerve to make it a famous Wuhan-Beijing double.
Despite her disappointment Halep will officially become world number one for the first time when the latest rankings are out on Monday.
Unseeded Caroline Garcia of France won her second title in as many weeks as she stunned new world number one Simona Halep in the closely fought final of the China Open on Sunday.

Five teams' Singapore showdown for T20 WC qualifiers
July 22, 2019 14:53 +08
Image for representation Reuters
One qualification spot for the 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifier will be on the line when Singapore, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal and Qatar play here from July 22-28.
The round-robin format will see all five teams play each other once, with the side that finish at the summit becoming one of the 14 teams to play in the United Arab Emirates in October and November for the chance to make next year's T20 Men's World Cup.
Singapore captain Amjad Mahboob is looking forward to his country hosting the qualifiers and hopes his side can take plenty from it, both on and off the pitch.
Nepal captain, Paras Khadka, who played for the MCC back in 2015, enjoys playing cricket for the life skills it can presents, and says: "Cricket helps you stay level headed. The ups and downs of life is similar to the highs and lows of a cricket match.
For Malaysia captain Ahmad Faiz Mohammad Noor, his favourite thing about playing cricket is the feeling he gets from batting.
Kuwait's captain Muhammad Kashif Shareef's love of cricket was born during the 1992 Cricket World Cup when Imran Khan's Pakistan beat England in the final and he has been playing ever since.
He said: "Cricket has always been the ultimate passion for me and my family, especially after the 1992 World Cup.
For Qatar captain Tamoor Sajjad Zafar, he was inspired to pick up a bat by his father who used to play at the weekends. And he thinks the sport has really brought people together in Qatar.
"Cricket has introduced us to so many different people belonging various cultures and traditions. Still this game has united each and everyone of us," he said.

Die Praia de Quiaios (dt.: Strand von Quiaios) ist ein Strand oberhalb des Cabo Mondego. Er gehört zum gleichnamigen Ort, der in der Gemeinde (Freguesia) von  Quiaios liegt, welche zum Kreis (Concelho) von Figueira da Foz gehört.

Er ist ein breiter, heller Sandstrand, der außerhalb der Saison kaum aufgesucht wird. Der Strand ist dazu ein Surfspot, und bei Sportfischern beliebt.

Der Strand ist überregional noch kaum bekannt, jedoch touristisch erschlossen. So befindet sich u. a. ein Campingplatz hier, ein Vier-Sterne-Hotel, und eine Vielzahl Ferienwohnungen.

Alljährlich findet hier im Sommer das internationale Woodrock-Rockfestival statt, das sich vor allem dem Stoner Rock, dem Doom Metal und verwandten Spielarten der Metal- und Rockmusik widmet. Für den 16. bis 18. Juli 2020 ist die achte Ausgabe des Musikfestivals geplant, angekündigt sind u. a. die Bands Witchcraft aus Schweden, Jucifer aus den USA und Zaum aus Kanada.

This week's newsletter highlights a few different types of failures - the biggest being a failure in how we manage dependencies in open source that manifested in the event-stream hack. And second a great 'what if' article looking at some really crazy failure modes developers have gotten themselves into forgetting that web requests are unreliable.
There's also your regular mix if exploratory, educational, and other great front-end material. Enjoy!
Super fun exploration of what you can create by tinkering around with the writing-mode CSS property, especially when combined with some simple CSS transforms. Love it!
This is a great introduction that covers all of the major features of Sass. If for some reason you are still writing CSS without Sass or another preprocessor… or you just got started with Sass/SCSS and are not already super comfortable, this article is a great place to get your bearings on what Sass has to offer.
Rendering a webpage on the face of a watch seems like taking things to a ridiculous extreme, but that is now possible with the Apple Watch browser. This post takes a look at what are some of the techniques and considerations needed to stretch responsiveness down to this extreme edge.
JSX started out as being extremely polarizing, and to this day has fans and detractors. One thing that is super helpful is realizing that JSX is not templating, but rather a domain specific language that is syntactic sugar on top of a series of function call. This post digs into that and shows you what a hypothetical JSX compiler could look like.
Testing front-end components has gotten a ton easier in the last few years, to the point that there really isn't much of an excuse for not doing front-end testing. What I like about this article is that it not only shows examples of writing tests, but talks through the process of how you decide what to test, and in what order.
This is really interesting for a couple of reasons. First, for those who aren't aware - Ionic is a mobile app UI kit & set of builtin services and utilities intended to make it very easy to make mobile applications with web technologies. It builds on top of Cordova/phonegap with a set of easy-to-use components and pluggable services. And historically it has been Angular only. This announcement is their first move to support multiple frameworks (interesting that they chose Vue instead of React for the 2nd). It's also another option on top of nativescript-vue for building native mobile apps with Vue. Very very interesting.
A very clever social-engineering attack was uncovered his week that echoed shades of the infamous Hackernoon 'harvesting credit cards' post from earlier this year. The attack appears to have particularly targeted the Copay crypto-wallet application, though before that was figured out all sorts of libraries (including all the major frontend framework CLIs) were advising reinstalls to avoid the impacted dependencies. Worth reading about even if you weren't impacted, as it brings up a lot of very important questions of how we manage open source dependencies.
With great power comes great responsibility. With modern front-end frameworks and tooling we have the power to boot a website from an essentially empty page, loading various types of data from all over, and rendering as we have what we need. But with that power comes responsibility for those intermediate states - how do we manage the loading experience when everything is asynchronous?
I was just thinking it had been a while since I'd seen a good in-depth article on Progressive Web Apps, and along came this super high quality in-depth guide on Smashing Magazine. Check it out!

Please See Below for a Statement from Panasonic Avionics Corporation Regarding the Allegations Made to the Press by IOActive Regarding In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) Systems
Lake Forest, CA | December 20, 2016–
Panasonic Avionics Corporation statement
The allegations made to the press by IOActive regarding in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems manufactured by Panasonic Avionics Corporation ("Panasonic") contain a number of inaccurate and misleading statements about Panasonic's systems. These misstatements and inaccuracies call into question many of the assertions made by IOActive.
Most notably, IOActive has chosen to make highly misleading and inflammatory statements suggesting that hackers could "theoretically" gain access to flight controls by hacking into Panasonic's IFE systems. Panasonic strenuously disagrees with any suggestion by IOActive that such an attack is possible, and calls upon IOActive to clarify that its research does not support any such inference.
IOActive has presented no evidence that its examination of Panasonic's systems would support any such suggestion, and its statement that its "research revealed it would also theoretically be possible that such a vulnerability could present an entry point to the wider network, including the aircraft controls domain" will only serve to falsely alarm the flying public.
Furthermore, IOActive employee Ruben Santamarta's statement regarding credit card theft is simply not true. Mr. Santamarta makes incorrect assumptions about where credit card data is stored and encrypted within Panasonic's systems.
It is important to note that, during the course of this unauthorized, in-service testing, the safety, security and comfort of passengers of the aircraft were never in danger or compromised due to the system segregation and robust security design of our inflight entertainment and communications (IFEC) product, and of all commercial aircraft as well. His exploit itself was limited to a single seat and information gathering; control override of the IFEC seat and system did not occur.
It is also very important to note that, in its communications to the press, IOActive made unfounded, unproven conclusions. The basis for many of these conclusions would first necessitate that an attacker gained a physical connection within the IFE network. During the unauthorized testing, network penetration, or even network connection to Pansonic's product, did not occur.
The conclusions suggested by IOActive to the press are not based on any actual findings or facts. The implied potential impacts should be interpreted as theoretical at best, sensationalizing at worst, and absolutely not justified by any hypothetical vulnerability findings discovered by IOActive.
IOActive, in statements to the press, inappropriately mixed a discussion of hypothetical vulnerabilities inherent to all aircraft electronics systems with specific findings regarding Panasonic's systems, creating a highly misleading impression that Panasonic's systems have been found to be a source of insecurity to aircraft operation.
Like any responsible business, Panasonic continually tests the robustness of its systems, and reviewed all of the claims made by Mr. Santamarta. It subsequently engaged Attack Research (AR) to conduct validation testing in May 2015 and again in 2016 to ensure that the few minor concerns (in no way linked to the control of an aircraft) identified by Mr. Santamarta had been fully remediated, and this was confirmed in a written report to Panasonic.
Panasonic does not condone unauthorized security testing during aircraft operation in uncontrolled environments, such as those conducted by IOActive. Panasonic strongly supports legislation that should be enacted to make on-board electronic intrusion a criminal act.
Security professionals who wish to test our systems legitimately and safely can do so by participating in our Bug Bounty program (bugbounty@panasonic.aero) in which Panasonic provides unfettered access to our products to allow for in-depth security testing and analysis.
Panasonic IFE products have a robust security design that complies with, or exceeds, all requirements, and are routinely and regularly tested by third-party professional security firms, as well as by participants in our independent Bug Bounty program.
Panasonic also fully supports aircraft manufacturers and aviation regulatory agencies to ensure our IFE systems are designed to comply with all aircraft manufacturer and regulatory security requirements, and Panasonic routinely reviews our designs with said groups.
Additionally, Panasonic is a member of the Aviation Information Sharing and Analysis Center (A-ISAC) for the express purpose of assuring that vulnerabilities are shared and assessed with a collective oversight so that the integrity of the systems can be maintained. Panasonic's IFE software is certified at Level-E per DO-178B, with "No Effect" to aircraft safety.

APEX Update and More!
Zodiac Inflight Innovations
Perhaps the biggest Zodiac (Zii) news we discussed was the announcement in June of the Zodiac selection by Airbus for high bandwidth connectivity and they note that Zii was chosen as a Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) for the Airbus High Bandwidth Connectivity (HBC) solution. Zodiac Inflight Innovations is supplying aircraft equipment, and other terminal hardware. As Lead supplier, Zodiac Inflight Innovations will manage the integration of the system and facilitate the Inmarsat Global Xpress service directly. The current scope of the HBC program covers the Ka-band system for A320 single aisle family, the A330 long range family and the A380 aircraft. Larry Girard, Executive Vice President at Zodiac Inflight Innovations states: "The end result will be that airlines will be able to have different HBC options on multiple aircraft types, while providing a consistent service to both passengers and the airlines day-to-day operations. As the Lead supplier, Zodiac Inflight Innovations' role is bringing together all the components for the High Bandwidth Connectivity program, including our own, and matching them to the Airbus process." Zodiac Inflight Innovations is providing an ARINC-791 compliant radome, adapter plate, skirt seal, antenna, as well as other terminal hardware. The radome and adapter plate have been designed to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate other Ka-band antennas, minimizing the work required for future HBC systems. This makes Zii the only IFE connectivity vendor across the current Airbus aircraft platforms – that's a big deal! Twenty five airlines around the world with over 200 aircraft in service are already using Zii Inflight Entertainment which includes their RAVE Centric AVOD system and their latest RAVE Wireless streaming entertainment system (system diagram). Today, some 250 people work in Brea, CA (Zii's home) and we expect to see more sale troops in the near future. Success at Airbus include line-fit on A350, A330, & A320 families. Further, we expect some events with Boeing soon. On the retrofit side, Zii told us that they have a 'variety of suppliers' to provide turn-key installations from hardware to certification, including long term support.
From a hardware perspective, Zii has a new supply of screens available that include 10.1", 11.6", 13.3", and a stunning 18.5" screen. We note that the last three are 1080p devices! And yes, all are dockable units. We also note that they are not streaming to each seat – there is a 1.5 TB storage in the seatback electronics so content is downloaded prior to display and we note the quality is beautiful. As Harry Gray, VP Sales & Marketing, noted: "Storage in the STU cloud and at the seat delivers stunning and reliable inseat display images." We agree.
SITA OnAir
SITA OnAir demonstrated how the passenger experience is being transformed by their e-Aircraft concept. They discussed the key developments based on the advent of the global high through-put satellite link, GX Aviation. In fact, they showed how the increased connectivity affected 6 key 'audiences' (aircraft included) for the improved data rates: 1) Passengers benefit from a richer, more interactive infotainment experience. At the Expo they launched their latest inflight portal for passengers, 2) Cabin Crew can now personalize passenger interaction with real-time information available at their fingertips. Also, they demonstrated their latest CrewTablet developments, 3) Cockpit Crew can also deliver a safer, more comfortable journey to passengers thanks to live weather updates sent directly to EFBs, 4) Flight Operations can enhance passenger safety by tracking aircraft wherever they are in the world using AIRCOM FlightTracker – and a number of airlines have already signed up, 5) Aircraft transmits maintenance requirement data, ensuring teams are waiting at the gate to keep turnaround time to a minimum, 6) And finally, Air Traffic Control enhances both safety and efficiency by streamlining communications between pilots and air traffic managers. SITA likes to call these 'nose-to-tail' solutions and they told IFExpress that there is an airline evaluating all these functions in real time today. One of the SITA OnAir prophets is Francois Rodriguez, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer and he told IFExpress: "It is all real and being deployed and we are working with airlines to enable them all with nose-to-tail solutions." If you are curious about the joining of the two companies and their resultant efforts, their website sheds a bit more information on their combined strategy: "On January 1 2015 , SITA and OnAir formed SITA OnAir as part of the SITA Group, to help airlines realize the full potential of the connected aircraft. The core of the new business organization is SITA's proven knowledge of airline communications and IT, and OnAir's expertise in supplying in-flight connectivity. By bringing together SITA's and OnAir's industry leadership and expertise; in ground and inflight connectivity, cockpit data services and air traffic management solutions, aircraft communications and infrastructure solutions, as well as application development for both passengers and crew, SITA OnAir sets the benchmark for true nose-to-tail solutions. SITA OnAir provides the complete range of products and services an airline needs to realize the full potential of the connected aircraft regardless of fleet size, route structure or aircraft type." And lastly, SITA OnAir demonstrated a passenger App that interacts with passengers during their entire flight, As an example, they use beacon technology to connect with the passenger on the ground and continues via a hand-off with them in the air. You can find out more about SITA OnAir here and check out their e-aircraft portfolio. Stay Tuned.
One of the more interesting small companies that we discovered last year at AIX, was Jetpack from England. They were at APEX this year and while we noted their independent programming collections, they abound in a lot of technology and gadgets that they have developed for airlines. While we don't know how successful they have been, their Director of Technology, Ed Pleydell-Bouverie was one of the most interesting fellows at the show. He told IFExpress: "We have developed iBeacons, a Portable App Distributer that uses Raspberry Pi computer, augmented reality glasses, and a lot of 'specialty devices' for airlines." Perhaps his best comment that summed up their charter was, "We do oddball stuff." Yes you do, Ed, yes you do!
The anti-hacking surprise award at APEX goes to BAE Systems and if you have never talked to Dave Kingston about the subject – do so! We met Dave last year when we talked about their power supplies for inseat applications. As head of Business Development, he had our complete attention and for the first time, we heard a lot about anti hacking on commercial aircraft via the connectivity systems. We got the crypto discussions when they mentioned their content encrypted entertainment programming. The IntelliCabin devices can download encryption Apps that allow their DRM players to send out first encrypted entertainment without worry of copying or data intervention. It seems that they had to prove to the studios that the player Apps do not corrupt, omit, or scramble transmitted movie frames; as a result, some of the major Hollywood movie houses have approved their solution. This is a big deal. Dave told us that they have been working the issue for 18 months, and focusing on a solution for the last six. The reason BAE Systems can do what they do is buried in their $26 B military business that dwells in cybersecurity, military contracts and technology in general. They consulted on the security problem with movie content, accessed their practices and evaluated their network security. In fact, the tech folks there simulated attacks and looked across the whole air and ground IFE and content systems. Dave told us that currently IntelliCabin is not on a connected aircraft, but from a total security point of view, they will have to simulate more attack scenarios that include passenger attempts to load malware on devices that talk to the streaming source of content in the air and ground via their PEDs. This is big stuff and BAE Systems is a leader now in this technology. Obviously, this will make their products more marketable, especially in the near future when these critical and non-critical domains are attacked. Dave summed it up perfectly: "Our Wi-Fi is now the equal of an embedded system." Their App software knows what device it is running on, it adjusts to that device, the user interface adapts to the device (This is a very nice function), and the system constantly adapts to the streaming content, including the adjustment of the device controls. As far as we know, no one else does this 'cloud adaptation' of content streaming. BAE Systems has come a long way and their focus on security will pay off, especially when the studios get a look at their solutions.
Involved with security in your company? You might want to read this.
If you are an engineer, or you like science and engineering, you must go see 'The Martian', you wont Be disappointed. Sir Ridley Scott is a genius.
Lastly, Ron Chapman noted recently that future inflight connectivity users might have a frequent 'FFLYA' in their future. Oh, look it up!

Astronics
We always like to visit the folks at Astronics. Why? Because they never seem to stop introducing new products and new companies that they have acquired. Without a doubt, Astronics is achieving its goal to become one of the most vertically diversified companies in the IFE business. By developing a broad based capability in the cabin they achieve at least two goals. First, they obviously do not rely on one product or product line to aid in their financial growth — that fact is obvious. The second, by developing an internal cabin (or aircraft) database, they can increase their developmental efficiency. Information gleaned and developed for one product just may be helpful in the design and development of another. Certainly, the process of certification knowledge is a valuable commodity that more than one company can share and use. Let's look at a short compilation of products that we quickly reviewed:
1. the SmartTray development we saw now included a built-in USB power port. We note that Astronics called it a "concept" but the potential for a USB System built-in to the tray table makes a lot of sense because there is always an issue finding a place on a seat to hand an output adapter. We understand that the box associated with the electronics would remain elsewhere.
2. Next, we note the new 1191- 4x InSeat Power Supply – 11VAC/60 Hz. The unit is smaller now, with linnet offer ability at Boeing and Airbus – the link shown is the 3 seat unit.
3. IFExpress was caught off guard with the new "webFB" product. The small black box plugs into a cockpit jack and delivers wireless, encoded information to pilot apps on their handheld devices that gathers flight data, runs a world of custom software for flight applications, and securely delivers this data to the handheld via Apps, as we noted. You can read more about it here: Ballard Technology – webFB Innovative EFB Platform. Interestingly, the handheld sized device talks to satcom, flight data recorders, ACARS, and other devices and acts like a small computer (1 GHz ArM processor, 512 MB Flash storage and 32 GbB recording Flash).
4. ASTRONICS AEROSAT and ARMSTRONG AEROSPACE (wholly owned subsidiaries of Astronics) introduced AeroShield low-drag radome and composite adapter plate products for connectivity systems. Here are the images of the products: Radome and Adaptor. The new combination, Composite Adapter Plate & AeroShield Radome are two of the newest products rolled out out at APEX. Here is what the news release said: "The AeroShield radome is designed with highly-optimized aerodynamic shape which reduces aerodynamic drag for improving fuel burn savings and provides bird-strike hardness to meet stringent FAA requirements. The composite adapter plate design simplifies and standardizes installations while it reducing weight by 78% over traditional metal designs. The new adapter plate delivers commonality and interchangeability across fleets, making it easy making for easy de-modification for end-of-lease restoration." We note that Astronics said the units have not been FAA certified yet and the first test flight will occur in 2016. We will have more on these tow as testing and certification progresses.
When we interviewed GORE a few years back, they said that there would be more and more optical fiber used in IFE systems and that prediction has surely come to pass. Further this year, they added more data to their claim: "Look, the big picture of connectivity and there is more demand for data from the passengers and the crew and the connected airplane is a big data generator/user as well," said Adrian Milne, Global Product Manager Aerospace. He went on, "When you look at the data requirements, speed requirements have generated the need for more bandwidth." "New technologies like USB 3.0 (5 GB/sec) and HMDI 2.0 (10 GB/sec) are new new normal and thus new technologies (or improved ones) and calling for new products… ones that GORE make. A good example of the changing world can be found in the fiber optic product. In the past, longer range data transmission over fiber optics had limitations based on the loss in db/unit distance – based on length. Long (and future longer) fiber lines require higher power box drivers to get the correct signal level up, as distance is directly proportional to the applied optical power. But optical drivers cost more as their power output is increased. As time goes on, however, driver costs goes down. Thus, with newer technology, transceiver chip cost is down and the crossover point for dollars versus distance is merging… and thus more fiber."
As we noted, fiber use is increasing and one of GORE's products that we liked was their dual gigabit fiber optic cables (great for coupling 2 one Gigabit/sec signals in one direction or 1 GB each direction). It's no wonder that fiber use is increasing and the higher the rates, in many cases, cause boxes like data loaders to get their job done sooner, thus reducing maintenance time and content loading sooner.
The attached image that adorned the GORE booth said it all. Today, up to 10 GB/sec (or so), HMDI 2.0 copper cables can operate. Above that, it's fiber optic for data connectivity wiring. We say "today" because GORE always seems to increase metal wire capability with new insulation, wire twisting and other tricks of the trade. It will be interesting to see where copper wire eventually ends, and fiber optic one's take over based on physics.
Thales has signed an agreement to acquire Vormetric, a leading provider of data protection solutions in physical and virtual environments. Vormetric is a fast growing company, headquartered in San Jose, California that employs 200 people. Their business is on pace to reach $75 million sales for the current fiscal year and addresses 1,500 customers worldwide, including 17 of the top 30 US companies. Information security has become a key requirement in both civil and governmental worlds. Deal closing is expected to occur first quarter 2016. (Ed Note: We expect to see a lot more data security acquisitions for IFEC vendors in the coming months – Stay Tuned)
Aircraft Cabin Maintenance Conference, Monday, Nov. 30 – On 30 November, Air Transport Publications, home of the industry-leading publications MRO Management and Aircraft Cabin Management, will host the Aircraft Cabin Maintenance Conference at The Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel, London Heathrow. Hosted by Ian Harbison – editor of both publications – this unique conference will combine the world of contemporary cabin design with the complex maintenance issues that surround modern aircraft interiors. You might check here for last year's blog entries on their website: 2014 Speaker Blogs | Aircraft Cabin Maintenance Conference
TECHNOLOGY TEASER: If you are involved with aircraft maintenance, you might want to be aware of a new Spanish company,Talent Swarm, and rather than explain what they do, here is the AvWeek MRO description from a recent London event: "Talent Swarm is a Collaborative Work Platform that allows the remote viewing in real time, recording and retrieval of aircraft maintenance operations using Telepresence, Augmented and Virtual Reality. Based on a secure open standard for data exchange, OEM, MRO and Airline personnel can efficiently track and document using full 3D models, photo's, audio, video, tag and volume scanning actions required to maintain their fleet. Whether used as a stand-alone supervisory tool or integrated into your enterprise software, the Talent Swarm toolset will provide their personnel with the real-time information they need to make airworthiness decisions quicker and with greater accuracy." Noted SpeedNews: Talent Swarm has announced a virtual environment that blends 3D video games, Big Data storage and Smartphones running a special App to create a global space in which pilots, mechanics, airframe and engine manufacturers and service companies collaborate in real time to keep airplanes flying safely while saving money. Stay Tuned on this one.
We understand that SAS has contracted with SR Technics for IFE on four more A340s with new Zodiac RAVE IFE, as well as, Panasonic Global Communication Suite (GCS) for inflight connectivity. Further, AIR EUROPA plans interior refurbishment program for 12 A330s next year (also by SR Technics) and Zodiac RAVE inflight connectivity system for three, plus Panasonic Global Communication Suite for all 12.
IFExpress has to admit, it looks like Gogo is pretty B-to-B focused. Case in point: Gogo will develop new 4G inflight connectivity solution (Gogo Biz 4G) for business aviation starting in 2017. Lets face it, there is money to be made there with the biz jet market heating up. Here is a good link.
JetBlue has completed installation of Fly-Fi Ka-band inflight connectivity system on all (150+) of its A320's and A321's, around 60 E190's – all to be completed by end of 2016. Here's a recent summary.
Lufthansa Systems announced that it is supported the "THack" hackathon this past weekend in Hamburg. In cooperation with JR Technologies, the airline IT specialist provided a demo system based on IATA's (International Air Transport Association) New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard which will give developers the data base they need for their tools. The programming event was organized by IATA and Tnooz in advance of the IATA World Passenger Symposium (October 20-22).
Retired Boeing employee and pilot Bob Bogash has sent IFExpress an exclusive story as he documented the moving a fleet of museum aircraft. He notes: "The 787 and B-17 were moved in – some of the airplanes are so big, they cannot be moved in till after completion. The building must be built around them."
IFExpress ran into Russ Johnson at APEX and discovered he is now the Chief Technical Officer at Custom Control Concepts, the Big BizJet IFE vendor.
As you may, or may not, know, John Guidon is now doing his own thing and it involves software and database data acceleration… and you can now reach him at john.guidon@gmail.com.
Ron Chapman told IFExpress that future biz jet connectivity will barely cost 'CHiiMP' change!"

Panasonic Purchases ITC Global… & More
First, breaking news straight from the news release: Panasonic Corporation and ITC Global announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Panasonic to acquire ITC Global, a leading provider of satellite communication services for the energy, mining, and maritime markets. Founded in 2001 with regional headquarters in Houston, Texas; Sion, Switzerland; and Perth, Australia, ITC Global serves customers at more than 1,300 remote sites across 70 countries and all the world's oceans. Panasonic, through its subsidiary Panasonic Avionics Corporation, is a leading provider of inflight communications and entertainment systems to the aviation market. By combining complementary strengths, ITC Global and Panasonic Avionics will become a new leader in global satellite services poised to support long term customer requirements as demand for bandwidth and efficient, reliable communications solutions continues to grow across the energy, mining, maritime and aviation markets. Panasonic Avionics' satellite network already covers 99% of all airline flight hours and 98% of all maritime traffic routes, and the organization is in the process of adding High Throughput Satellite capacity that will wrap around the globe. Upon the closing of the acquisition, ITC Global will become "ITC Global, A Panasonic Company" and will operate as an independent unit of Panasonic Avionics. ITC Global will continue to execute its current strategic plan under the leadership of Joe Spytek, ITC Global's founder and Chief Executive Officer, who will report to Paul Margis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Panasonic Avionics. ITC Global's management team will remain in place and will continue to focus on its customers in the energy, mining, and maritime markets, while Panasonic Avionics will remain dedicated to its customers in the aviation market. "Panasonic's acquisition of ITC Global highlights the natural alignment of customers across the aviation, energy, mining and maritime markets, all of whom require mobile broadband, high reliability, global coverage and responsive customer service," said Margis. "ITC Global is a proven leader and we share a common passion for excellent customer service. Together, we look forward to taking satellite communications services to a new level of value and performance."
The United States Government Accountability Office, under the title of Information Security has issued a report earlier this month giving the FAA a do-better slip for security weakness (cyber-based and other (hacker) plus natural based threats) in the Air Traffic Control Systems. IFExpress has been noting concerns and deficiencies, at least based on non-governmental system hacking, and earlier this month the GAO reported the deficiencies. The 45 page report can be found here and we note the threats from their document: "While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken steps to protect its air traffic control systems from cyber-based and other threats, significant security control weaknesses remain, threatening the agency's ability to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of the national airspace system (NAS). These include weaknesses in controls intended to prevent, limit, and detect unauthorized access to computer resources, such as controls for protecting system boundaries, identifying and authenticating users, authorizing users to access systems, encrypting sensitive data, and auditing and monitoring activity on FAA's systems. Additionally, shortcomings in boundary protection controls between less-secure systems and the operational NAS environment increase the risk from these weaknesses."
Further, the FAA is under pressure from the GAO for failing to implement a complete security program: "FAA also did not fully implement its agency-wide information security program. As required by the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, federal agencies should implement a security program that provides a framework for implementing controls at the agency. However, FAA's implementation of its security program was incomplete." It goes on but worth the 45 page read.
The solution, according to the GAO, lays in some 17 public recommendations that focuses on a present and future security risk management by organizations and agency management present and future decisions; while laying out some 170 security weaknesses recommendations. Stay Tuned to this one… the ramifications of a slip here could be catastrophic.
Check out this Security story on the Internet.
And speaking of data and airplanes, did you know that Routehappy, can tell you if your flight has Wi-Fi, seat power availability, seat pitch, and a basic score for the availability of services – Nice!
While we are on the Internet subject, did you know that you can find US flight times based on airline for city pairs?
On the plane, what if your batteries die – did you know that two different metal electrodes and an acid will create a battery? Here's how you can make a lemon battery but you will need 2380 oranges for your iPhone.
So much for up, but on the ground, airport Wi-Fi Access Charts from AirFareWatchdog cover US and International destinations.
And speaking of Wi-Fi, 802.11ac is right around the corner… for aircraft too! We now have 801.11a, b, g but they are quickly being surpassed by 802.11n, at least on the ground. Last week, we linked to an 802.11n Wi-Fi router developed and just introduced to the aircraft, the VT Miltope nMap2 features 802.11n technology. Today, there are some 38 million 802.11n access points in the market (ground) so that technology is quite mature. Since June 2013, the Wi-Fi Alliance has certified some 500 802.11ac ground based products but the technology has to be some 5 years away for planes. When 802.11ac gets here for aircraft, the world will be saturated with it on the ground, but that is another story. The issue here is 802.11ac and if you want to get up to speed on this ground technology today, we have a tip – Fluke Networks. Check out this link for an intro and 7 great info programs on 802.11ac, and their test products as well.
And again, speaking of the Internet naturally brings up the subject of Wi-Fi. While our Wi-Fi experiences are at 2 Ghz and 5 Ghz for the most part, Intel has developed a 60 Ghz version called 5th Generation. But what is interesting, at that frequency, their solution can provide a wireless display, short distance wireless charging, wireless docking, and wireless data (also short range). You can read about it .

This Week's News Mix
The big news this week is from Gogo: The company announced today that it has received regulatory approval from the FCC to operate its next generation in-flight connectivity technology – 2Ku. The FCC approval clears a major hurdle in the path to launching the new service. The approval is a blanket approval from the FCC for Gogo to operate its 2Ku system on 1,000 aircraft. "Clearing the necessary regulatory hurdles to provide this service to an aircraft flying anywhere around the globe is no small feat. Gogo has proven it is a leader at navigating these environments for all aircraft types no matter where they fly," said Michael Small, Gogo's president and CEO. "We are happy that the launch of 2Ku is proceeding as planned and are continuing to work with the FAA on approval for installation." Gogo expects the new 2Ku technology will outperform other global connectivity solutions currently available in the market. The new antenna technology is expected to deliver peak speeds to the aircraft of more than 70 Mbps. The advantages of 2Ku are significant. The antenna is more spectrally efficient which means it will produce more bandwidth at less cost than competitive solutions. 2Ku's performance benefits will be even more dramatic in tropical regions where other satellite solutions degrade significantly due to restrictions associated with operating at high skew angles. The antenna itself is only 4.5 inches tall and the low profile produces very little incremental drag on the aircraft. The 2Ku antenna and its increased spectral efficiency are compatible with today's Ku satellites and future Ku satellites, including future spot beam satellites. When future satellite technologies become available, Gogo expects peak speeds for the service in excess of 100 Mbps. Because the antenna can be used with any Ku-satellite, it also avoids the single point of failure that comes with reliance on a single satellite for connectivity in a given region, and offers airlines much desired redundancy and reliability.
If you forgot about what 2Ku actually is, and how it works, we have a perfect solution – look here!
Aircraft Interiors Expo 2014 will again be at the Hamburg Messe, April 14 – 16 this year in Germany and you can keep abreast at www.aircraftinteriorsexpo.com. To steal from their press release: "The countdown is now on for next year's Aircraft Interiors Expo which takes place at the Hamburg Messe in Germany from 14-16 April 2015. Organized by Reed Exhibitions, Aircraft Interiors Expo 2015 will be the essential hub for the aircraft interiors industry to view groundbreaking new products and innovative technologies, as well as networking with exhibiting companies and professional visitors on both the conference and show floors. The demand for air travel, particularly from new emerging markets, will see the global airline fleet witness extraordinary growth over the next decade. Developing markets in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East will continue to serve as the main catalyst for this upward trend. According to a recent Airbus global market forecast for 2014-2033, China will need more than 5,300 new passenger aircraft and freighters at a total market value of US$820 billion – this represents 17% of the world total demand for over 31,000 new aircraft during the next 20 years. Factors such as the increase in demand for cabin customization to enhance passenger comfort, together with increasing passenger growth rates, are boosting the cabin interior market worldwide. The cabin seats market is predicted to be best overall performer in the sector."
As they note about the exposition; "Aircraft Interiors Expo is the world's largest event dedicated to sourcing the latest innovations, technologies and products for the cabin interiors, inflight entertainment and passenger comfort industries. Taking place in Hamburg from 14- 16 April 2015 the exhibition attracts thousands of buyers and decision makers from major scheduled, regional and charter airlines and offers the opportunity to meet face to face with suppliers and manufacturers covering the full spectrum of the industry." Also, we note that a total of 74 submissions were received for the Crystal Cabin Award 2015. After detailed examination we understand, the six members of the preselection committee have approved 68 of these for the shortlist. In the next stage, the international jury of 25 experts, including representatives of various airlines, aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, and technical service providers, along with university professors, consultants and specialist journalists, will now evaluate all accepted entries, so that the finalists for the seven categories can be nominated shortly before the Aircraft Interiors Expo (14 – 16 April, 2015). The winners will be crowned, as they are every year, at a formal gala event held in association with the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.
Also, don't forget the other reason for going, the World Catering and Onboard Services Expo will take place there as well. "Visitors will include onboard services and retail buyers, food and beverage buyers as well as procurement representatives from air and rail travel operators. The exhibitor base includes providers of snack foods, pre-prepared meals, food service equipment, hygiene products and services, food packaging, passenger comfort products and onboard retail items. In other words, you had best go because all your friends and competitors will be there. By day we will be roaming the floor (more on that later) but we will have more later on this event!
An '"industry source" sent this update on the new CEO at Zodiac Inflight Innovations – please welcome him: Zodiac Aerospace is pleased to announce the appointment of Matt Smith as CEO of Zodiac Innovations (Zii) as of January 19th, 2015. Matt replaces Rod Farley who will enter retirement at the end of January. Rod has been an integral part of creating Zii, serving as a leader in the former IMS Company and Zii CEO for the last 2 years. His customer focus has been instrumental in making Zii a key player in the IFEC industry. We are going to miss Rod and wish him all of the best in his future.
Matt joins Zii from Panasonic Avionics Corporation where he spent the last 6 years and was recently Senior VP of Operations. He was also the Chairman of Panasonic Corporation Singapore (PACSS) joint venture. Previously, Matt was with Rockwell Collins in both Avionics and Inflight Entertainment, and Honeywell Aerospace in Avionics. Matt has a Bachelors and Masters Degree of Electrical Engineering from the University of Wyoming. Matt will be based in Brea, CA office.
The folks at Bell-Pottinger sent us an Alitalia update and here is a condensed version: "Change is underway at Alitalia as they will introduce new routes, new product and service standards, a new cost management strategy and new branding, as the foundations to build a premium global airline representing the best of Italy. Mr Hogan (CEO) said that Alitalia's major investors had set a clear deadline for the airline to deliver profitability by 2017. He said; "We need to create a performance-based, customer-focused culture which results in a sustainably profitable airline, one which can grow over the long term." Alitalia and Etihad Airways and its partners are exploring opportunities to improve jointly fleet efficiency. For example, Alitalia is in the process of relocating 14 Airbus A320s to airberlin, and looking into options with Etihad Airways to acquire additional wide-body aircraft for Alitalia. Alitalia will also have opportunities to receive aircraft from Etihad Airways' existing fleet order book. Alitalia Società Aerea Italiana (alitalia.com) is a completely private company that started operations on January 1, 2015. The new Alitalia is a limited company with an Italian majority share and a 49% share owned by the industrial partner Etihad Airways, U.A.E.'s national airline."
As you may know, 2014 was certainly the year of the "hack" and data breaches are now a weekly event. The folks at Zenedge provided a very good infographic on the subject and we provide it here for you. While the aviation industry and aircraft have seemingly been lightly affected, you might want to view the 1 hour Internet Webinar Recording that SITA and Recorded Future put together.

According to estimates from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, China is the fourth largest beef producing country in the world behind the U.S., Brazil and the European Union. 2018 Chinese beef production is estimated at 7.3 million metric tons, 58 percent of projected U.S. beef production of 12.4 million metric tons. China has an estimated total cattle herd of 96.85 million head in 2018, slightly larger than the current U.S. herd of 94.4 million head.
In May and June, I met with cattle and meat industry experts in China with the assistance of the U.S. Meat Export Federation offices in Beijing and Shanghai. A cattle industry expert in Beijing provided an excellent summary of cattle production in China. The bulk of cattle production consists of an assortment of native beef breeds, known collectively as Yellow cattle, concentrated in the North China Plain, the northeast and the extensive grazing lands of the northwest. The Chinese cattle industry also includes yak production on the high Tibet plateau in the southwest and water buffalo production in the south and southeast.
The central region of the North China Plain is the largest beef production region and includes the provinces of Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Shandong, and Jiangxi and surrounding regions. I traveled across these provinces and yet saw very few cattle. Cattle production takes place in and around intensive crop production, utilizing a diverse set of crop residues and residual forage from roadsides, ditch banks, farmsteads, etc. One does not see big herds of cattle grazing large pastures. Most producers in this region usually own less than 10 head of cattle with perhaps 2-5 cows. Larger cow herds of up to several hundred head can be found in the grazing lands of northwest China. Productivity is relatively low with cows typically producing two calves every three years. Though dual-purpose production was once more common, dairy production has specialized and most beef production today is solely for meat.
Yellow cattle account for roughly 70 percent of beef production with a small, but growing, use of European breeds in place of native cattle; crossbreeding of Yellow cattle and imported breeds; and development of composite breeds of Yellow cattle and European breeds. In mountainous areas, the moderately-sized Yellow cattle are better adapted and remain the predominant cattle type. Weaned calves move into larger growing and finishing operations. Roughly 60 percent of cattle are finished using corn-based rations in feedlots that range in capacity from a few hundred to a few thousand head; with the largest feedlots up to 20,000 head.
Beef production in China today continues mostly with traditional systems used for many years. The beef industry has so far received relatively little attention from the Chinese government compared to pork, poultry and dairy, where large investments in modern, large-scale production facilities are rapidly changing and increasing production. It appears that Chinese cattle and beef production has potential to be significantly enhanced with complementary use of different genetics, improved management and larger-scale production systems.
However, increased beef production in China will face challenges. Beef production has the greatest potential to expand in the major agricultural regions of central China where use of resources for cattle production will compete with increasing demand for crops and other agricultural production to meet relentlessly growing food demand in China. The drier, extensive grazing areas of the west and northwest face less competition from other agricultural production but are inherently limited by climate and productivity of the land and suffer from degradation of some grazing areas. Exactly how much and how fast beef production in China will grow will depend on beef demand in the country. The next article will look at beef consumption and rapidly growing beef imports in China.

Ed Cotton: Can A New Name Make Something Better?
The people behind High Fructose Corn Syrup are sick of the name and they want to change.
Apparently, consumption of the "foodstuff" is at an all time low and the media have been doing a hatchet job on the substance to such a point where it's something that's become a staple of peoples "Do Not Shop" lists.
However, a solution is at hand for those concerned manufacturers with their dwindling Corn Syrup sales, a new name.
Brand re-engineering might sound like its a highly technical discipline, it maybe, but the solutions are pretty simple, in this case, Corn Sugar is the new name for High Fructose Corn Syrup.


This is a question I have received from many landowners looking to cut timber on their own property or perspective buyers looking to purchase land for sale with a timber investment component. I tell people who are looking to purchase property with the intent to cut later in the future, to buy at least 40 TIMBERED acres. The reason I emphasize "TIMBERED" acres is because some properties may be 40 acres, but they have a pond, a large SMZ (streamside management zone), a house, a pasture, etc. Therefore, it is not 40 "TIMBERED" acres. The rationale behind this is that logging is trending to the higher production type of tracts. In other words, a tract of timber needs to have enough volume on it to justify the logging company to be able to cut it.
For example, I, as well as every other forester in the procurement or consulting business have gotten that phone call from a landowner that wants 5-20 acres cut. While this is not to say that it couldn't be cut, it is harder to move a logger to cut such a small tract by itself. In a situation like this, the best option for getting it cut is when there is a logging operation being done very close to your property. Sometimes they can be so close they can drive the equipment to your job without having to load it on a low-boy trailer. Every time a logging crew moves, it is costing them money. Not only in overhead, salaries, and fuel, but also for the time in which they are not in the working in the woods, cutting, skidding and hauling wood.
Gone are the days of logging with mules and horses. My great grandfather was one of these loggers. He logged for nearly all his adult life in east central Alabama. Depending on the type of wood, 5-20 acres would take several weeks or months to harvest. Today, with logging equipment being highly mechanized with the latest technology, newer machines allow a crew to cut 20 acres in just 2-3 days. Along with this high mechanization and technology comes cost. With a good portion of crews having to finance their equipment, they must maintain a certain amount of production each week to cover their costs.
Of course, as with any "Rules of Thumb," there are always exceptions. If you had 20 acres to cut, is there a good chance that someone who wasn't cutting close by would come cut it? Sure. I've seen 20 acre tracts that have more volume on them than a 50 acre parcel. However, when you do decide to harvest some timber on your property, make it as attractive as possible when marketing it to ensure you get the best possible price. Having a tract with close to 40 acres of timber or more would be a big step toward doing that.
If you are looking to purchase a tract of land with a timberland component that you want to manage for a future harvest, talk to an experienced and knowledgeable Land Professional and/or a Registered Forester that can help you find that type of property you are looking for.
If you're in search of timberland for sale for the purpose of managing a future harvest, talk to an experienced and knowledgeable Land Professional and/or a Registered Forester that can help you find that type of property you are looking for.
Your article is a great one. I have gathered a new knowledge for my real estate investing business. Thanks for sharing.
There are available Loggers who still use horses and mules to cut timber. Not everyone, wants the big modern log companies, to tear up their land. Selective harvesting, also leaves the younger trees from damage from machinery. Not against these companies but to say yesterday method for smaller tree plots not in existence isn't true. Research available Mother Earth, and other web sites.
Brian, Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm interested in purchasing a commercial property that once had a building that has since been torn down. There is quite a bit of timber there, some younger than others. I'm really just interested in clearing the land for building but I didn't want to overlook the value of what's there to help defray the cost of clearing. If I hired someone to do the cutting, could I possibly sell the cut timber in some form?

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't going to the playoffs this year, but LeBron James is still winning off the court.
According to a new report from The New York Times, ninety percent of students at James' I Promise School have either met or exceeded individual growth goals in recent district assessments. The school is now improving faster than other students across the Akron, OH school district, making "extraordinary" test-score improvements since opening in July 2018.
According to that same report released by the Times on Friday, the third- and fourth-graders at I Promise School "were, by many accounts, considered unredeemable" upon enrollment and "identified as the worst performers in the Akron public schools and branded with behavioral problems." The inaugural 240 students have completed the Measures of Academic Progress testing, and the school is "helping close the achievement gap in Akron."
"The 90 percent of I Promise students who met their goals exceeded the 70 percent of students districtwide and scored in the 99th growth percentile of the evaluation association's school norms, which the district said showed that students' test scores increased at a higher rate than 99 out of 100 schools nationally," the report stated.
The school isn't completely in the clear, according to Keith Liechty, an Office of School Improvement coordinator in the Akron public schools system. Liechty told the Times have a long way to go compared to "non-urban education students." However, Liechty also said "your percentile doesn't move that much unless something extraordinary is happening."
"These kids are doing an unbelievable job—better than we all expected," James said. "When we first started, people knew I was opening a school for kids. Now people are going to really understand the lack of education they had before they came to our school. People are going to finally understand what goes on behind our doors."


The pinafore and dress set are adorable! I also feel like the weeks sneak by before I'm done with them, but it looks like you've been quite productive, even if time is flying by.
The whole beginning of this year feels like it's blending together! Those outfits are absolutely adorable, though, so you've got something going!
That is true. Where did January go?? :P Thank you! At least she'll have a few things to wear when she's bigger, we can get by with store onesies. Haha!


A journalist was allegedly beaten up on Saturday by BJP activists while he was recording a meeting of the party's district-level meeting in Raipur, police said. The incident took place in Raipur, Chattisgarh.
A journalist Suman Pandey, who sustained injuries to his head was thrashed. A case was lodged against four persons, including BJP Raipur district president Rajeev Agrawal.
He identified the other three accused as local BJP office-bearers Vijay Vyas, Utkarsh Trivedi and Deena Dongre. However, no arrests have been made so far.
Pandey's complaint alleged that he was thrashed when he was covering the BJP meeting Saturday afternoon at its Ekatma Parisar office in Raipur. He said that leaders there were involved in a scuffle among themselves when the incident took place.
"I was recording a video of the meeting on my mobile phone when suddenly BJP leaders started manhandling each other over some issue. Meanwhile, BJP Raipur district president Rajeev Agarwal and another person, Utkarsh Trivedi, asked me to delete the video of the scuffle, which I refused. They then started hitting me and forcibly deleted the video," Pandey said.
"I was made to sit inside the meeting room for about 20 minutes. When I came out, I informed other journalists about the incident," he added.
Later, several other journalists reached the BJP office, alerted police and protested there demanding the arrest of those involved in assaulting the journalist.
State BJP spokesperson Sacchidanand Upasane, who was also present in the meeting, said his partymen had apologised to Pandey.
"The closed door district level meeting was held to review the defeat in the recent Assembly election. Media persons were asked to leave the meeting room after taking initial footage. Party leaders and workers were also asked to keep their mobile switched off," he said.
"On finding a man recording the video of meeting, he was told to stop it and asked to delete the footage. After he introduced himself as a journalist, party leaders said he should delete the video," Mr Upasane said.


The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), the Friends of NCPTT, the National Park Service (NPS), the NPS Intermountain Regional Office, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Living New Deal will host a three-day symposium covering the preservation of NPS designed buildings and landscapes. The event coincides with the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.
The symposium focuses on issues related to the preservation of park built features. NPS built environments span a hundred years of development from the early rustic period when railroad transported tourists to large western parks; through a period of major construction and land conservation during the Great Depression completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA); into the post-WWII era and the NPS Mission 66 campaign and up through contemporary development. The NPS also played a major role in the improvement and development of state parks nationwide, through their administration and supervision of CCC and WPA crews working in these parks.
Talks will be 30 minutes in duration, including questions. Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words (excluding figures and references). Abstract should contain: presenter's full contact information (name, title, organization, address, phone, fax, email), and a 100-word biography for the author and each co-author.

Role of NPS in state and regional park design and development.


I hate to admit it, but after I have blindly banged around the beside table, finding my glasses, generally the first thing I do is check my phone. It is usually to initially see what unearthly hour little man has woken me up at. Occasionally I can tell him to go back to his room, but more often than not it isn't worth going back to sleep so I send him to his room for a little play whilst I slowly come round to the idea of waking up. Of course with phone in hand the temptation to check all social media is too much. Why I do this, I am not sure. Usually everyone has been asleep too, but it is a bad habit.
Next comes breakfast. I have given up of getting the boys dressed before breakfast school as it just means I spend the next 20 minutes trying to scrub their jumpers and t-shirts from whatever breakfast cereal they have dropped all over them.
I then head to the shower, asking the oldest two to get ready for school.
Out of the shower, no one dressed for school and yet more reminders.
You may remember that middle man announced to his teacher that he would dress himself when he started school. He is better, but most mornings we are getting so late he has to have some help.
Thankfully the boys are now having school dinners which is a big #morningwin for me. I can easily get a water bottle filled, with no worries of who is getting what in their lunchbag.
30 minutes later, with a lot of coaxing we are heading out the door. I have found that walking to school usually calms me down after the stress of getting the boys ready. The boys are happy as they get to race each other and I get some fresh air and realise that life isn't as awful as it seemed a few minutes before. It is definatley my favourite #morningwin.
As a Mum of three, it can be hard work in the mornings. Sometimes I don't even have time for breakfast. This is when belvita breakfast bars come into their own as you can eat them on the move. Although of course I would rather sit down have them with a strong coffee, another #morningwin.
What are your mornings like? Do they end up being a rush no matter how organised you are?


On Feb. 16, council postponed second and third reading of two bylaws that would have approved the Evergreen Heights Area Structure Plan pending additional information.
Bylaw 930, 2015 is in regards to the Evergreen Subdivision Area Structure Plan and Bylaw 931, 2015 concerns amending the Land Use Bylaw to allow for the plan.
Trevor Hay, Evergreen Heights developer, is in favour of the proposed bylaws that would allow for the expansion of the proposed subdivision with the construction of a new road.
Concerned landowners adjacent to the proposed road oppose the plan.
On Oct. 20, a public hearing was held on the proposed bylaws. Both Hay and the concerned landowners brought in respective engineers to argue on their behalf.
Neil Powell, an engineer with MPE Engineering Ltd., hired by the concerned landowners said the proposed road would cause drainage and flooding issues. He suggested extending 108th Street in Blairmore, which would allow for the subdivisions expansion and would keep the neighbours happy.
Hay's engineer Rob Strom, of Strom Engineering, argued that the new road would actually improve drainage. Strom said extending 108th Street would result in grades of over 15 per cent, which could make the road impassable. He also said the road extension would affect wetlands.
After the presentation members of council conducted a site visit to see the proposed road route for themselves.
The Area Structure Plan proposes the creation of a 72 acre grouped country residential subdivision with 16 lots ranging in size from about 3.1 to 7.3 acres in the southwest Blairmore area.
Council approved $2,000 in support to the Crowsnest Pass Wheel Nuts Society for the 2016 Show and Shine.
There is now $13,435 remaining in the 2016 budget to support non-profit initiatives.
Administration reviewed and prepared an interim financial report for review by council. The report outlines the municipality's financial operations in 2015.
The report shows: that debt expense associated with the River Run properties added $158,000 to operating expenditures, which were not estimated in the budget.
Legal fees paid by the municipality in connection with property, employee and union negotiations were over budget by $180,000.
Annual expenditures by Protective Services were under budget by $180,000 for the year. That sum is related to the transitioning of a new CPO and fire chief.
Planning, Engineering and Operations expenditures were also under budget but that might not be the case once final calculations of gravel and sand/salt usage are calculated.
Currently, the report shows a surplus for 2015 but the numbers will change prior to year-end final reporting.
Council expressed their approval that the report indicates the municipality was in a better financial situation than it had been the previous year.

Episode 18 | Building your own tools vs. paying for SaaS apps when running an info product business
In episode 18, we'll discuss whether or not you should build your own tools or pay for SaaS apps when building an info product business.
[00:32] This week's episode begins with a personal story from Adrian about he and his family's last day in Philadelphia
[01:26] "I almost got into a fight within 30 minutes of us putting our final bags in the car and leaving for good…" – Adrian
[05:18] After explaining a situation where a neighbor is being aggressive towards Adrian, he discusses what he could have done and why he didn't.
[06:00] "I had to be a bigger person, and when you're in one of those situations, it doesn't feel good to swallow your pride.." – Adrian
[07:28] The point of telling this story on the podcast is its relevance to a listener question Adrian received recently. Listener Misha asks in short, if she should build her own software as part of her online school, or if she should use tools that are already available.
[08:15] "Don't try to build your own tools when others exist that will do the job for you." – Adrian in response to Misha's question.
[08:51] It's easy for developers to fall into the trap of building apps to solve problems when there are already solutions that work and are reliable. Adrian explains why.
[09:19] "You need to push back on that engineer brain, don't let it bully you around. Have the strength and courage to identify what will move your business forward, and execute on that. Limit all your other distractions." – Adrian
[10:42] Adrian is a big fan of anti-fragility, meaning when there is a solution that may be technically better, but a bit more fragile, he will choose the sub-optimal method.
[11:18] Writing code or building custom integrations isn't going to sell more books or courses. Your time is better spent in other areas like copywriting, recording a new video, or sending out an email blast. These kinds of tasks will move your business forward.
[11:46] "So to sum up, avoid the fight. Avoid the trap of building your own solutions…..it may sometimes feel counterintuitive…but it's just not worth the fight. You'll lose time, money, and customers if you try to build everything yourself." – Adrian
