Great shakes in the Great Lakes
By Glen Brooks2007-11-01T15:46:38+00:00
Ontario has the honour of being the largest automotive production hub in North America, with a vibrant economy and a regional government that is very proactive in attracting investors to the region
Major investments made in Ontario
Big players in the supplier sector
Linking and private sector and research facilities
Suppliers a vital part of the economy
Light vehicle production set to increase
Beware the proliferation of models
Suppliers hit by restructuring
Parts manufacturing depends on carmakers
With 12 million people or 39% of Canada's population and half of Canada's manufacturing output, the province of Ontario contributed 40 per cent of the country's GDP growth in 2006. At more than 410 billion Canadian dollars (CAD), its economy is larger than that of Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden or Austria.
It is North America's third largest financial centre but perhaps the most surprising statistic of all is that in 2004, Ontario became the largest automotive production hub in North America. Since then, it has has continued to see large-scale manufacturing investments from OEMs and suppliers.
What is the drawcard of this is often overlooked but constantly growing manufacturing cluster in the south east of Canada? A combination of a business-friendly regional government, excellent infrastructure, a stable and well-educated workforce, and a long track record of attracting leading vehicle makers and suppliers. Perhaps the trump card is a focus on specialist automotive tertiary education that works hand-in-hand with vehicle makers, government and suppliers alike.
In the past two-and-a-half years, two major investments by the world's two largest vehicle makers were made in this region. In March 2005, General Motors announced the largest automotive investment in Canada's history, with its Beacon Project designed to strengthen automotive engineering, research and development, and manufacturing capabilities.
The CAD 2.5 billion (US$ 2.5 billion/£1.29 billion) project was a milestone for the company and Ontario. To date, it remains unaffected by GM's large-scale restructuring of its North American operations – a point underlined by the decision to build the new edition Chevrolet Camaro coupe and convertible models at its giant Oshawa complex.
Three months after GM's investment, Toyota released plans for a CAD1.1 billion plant in Woodstock to supplement its existing facility in Cambridge that builds Corolla and Matrix models as well as the Lexus crossover.
The latter plant – the only Lexus manufacturing facility There is a huge amount of optimism for developing India as a small carmaking hub. It would enable domestic and global vehicle manufacturers to capitalise on the market for small low cost cars, to some extent smaller and cheaper than those already manufactured elsewhere in the world. Supported by a strong domestic market, vehicle manufacturers are seeking to set up sizeable manufacturing operations from which they can also export. Export potential is significant. If manufacturers can get products right for India they are also likely to be suitable for China and other high growth emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia. According to Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, the market for vehicles priced below $10,000 is likely to reach 18 million cars by 2010, up from 12 million today. This would be equivalent to a fifth of world car sales.
In November 2005, meanwhile, the then DaimlerChrysler (now Chrysler) announced details of an investment programme totalling CAD 768 million for its Canadian operations, the majority of which are located in Ontario. The total includes upgrading facilities, flexible manufacturing and automotive research and development.
Some CAD 610 million went into refitting the company's Windsor Assembly Plant to prepare it for new products and to build an all-new paint shop. Production of the first vehicles to benefit from the investment programme started in September with job one of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country coming off the line. The former is the long-time best selling minivan nameplate in both the Canadian and US markets.
Ontario – quick facts
Ontario claims to have the most highly educated workforce of any industrialised nation, surpassing the US and Japan. Of the province's working population, 56% has a post-secondary education* (source: Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, Toronto)
Provincial GDP, at more than CAD 450 billion (EUR 320 billion), has consistently grown at rates that outpace the G7 nations.
Ontario's GDP is larger than that of Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden or Austria.
The Detroit-Windsor gateway is the largest corridor of international trade in North America.
Ontario produces almost 50% of all Canadian exports and consumes more than 60% of all imports.
The automotive industry contributes fully four per cent of the Canadian economy by value.
Around the same time that DaimlerChrysler was opening its cheque book to bring the Windsor plant up to date for the next decade, Ford made a commitment to spend in excess of CAD 1 billion to completely overhaul its Oakville Assembly operations. The previous product, the Freestar minivan (which had been a relatively inexpensive reskin of the Windstar) never really caught buyers' imaginations in the US and Canadian markets so this time, the company has had a major rethink about challenging the Dodge Town & Country, Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.
Build of the 2009 Ford Flex, due to start in April 2008, is scheduled to be 103,000 units per year of which 12,000 will be a hybrid derivative, which will follow later in the year. Ford has worked closely with several suppliers on innovations such as rocker panels built into the bottoms of the doors, for example, so there is nothing to step over, as in most conventional cars. Underlining the fact that this is not a minivan, the rear doors are conventionally hinged, not sliding arrangements.
Like Toyota, Honda and GM, Ford is increasingly looking at its Ontario facilities less as a producer of low-priced/low margin mainstream models and more as centres for mid-high volume manufacturing of slightly upscale vehicles, each with slight premium pricing.
Certainly, the Dearborn-based company's decision to also locate a new fuel cell research and development centre at Oakville appears to underline its belief in both this technology and the ability to easily source and retain leading experts in the field of research.
Large-scale investments haven't only been made by vehicle makers. In May 2006, Linamar announced it would invest CAD 1.1 billion in automotive powertrains and related research, development and plant upgrades. The company, which has its headquarters in Guelph, Ontario, specialises in precision machine components, modules and automotive systems. Jim Jarrell, President and CEO, is tasked with, among others, expanding the business into new areas – one of his main goals is to try and capture 15% of the North American medium- and heavy-duty truck market.
Vehicle manufacturing in Ontario
Ford Motor Company started manufacturing in Ontario in 1904, followed by General Motors in 1918 and Chrysler in 1925.
Twelve major automotive assembly plants and more than 450 parts factories operate in Ontario.
In 2004 and 2005, Ontario produced more cars and light trucks than any other jurisdiction in North America. Ontario's vehicle assembly and parts industries now employ more than 135,000 workers.
Vehicle production peaked in 1999 at just over three million units. In 2006, 2.5 million cars and light trucks were built in Ontario, down from 2.6 million the previous year.
Thanks mostly to Ontario's contribution, Canada is the world's eighth largest vehicle producing country but has fallen from fi fth in recent years.
Six of the world's largest vehicle makers have production facilities in the province.
Every sixth vehicle build in North America comes from Ontario.
Linamar, owned by the Hasenfratz family, no doubt has its sights set firmly on Ontario's number one supplier (and the world's number three behind Bosch and Denso), Aurora-based Magna International. For the moment, Magna is safe but with Linamar controlling 36 separate companies – 22 of which are in Ontario – and with 11,000 global employees, there are signs already that this could an increasingly big name in the supplier world.
As well as for the company's engine divisions, which including McLaren Performance Technology in Michigan and Linamar Antriebstechnik in Crimmitschau, Germany, Jarrell sees major opportunities in Europe. "Our facilities in Hungary . . . are a great base for growth in the Eastern and Central European markets. Countries like Poland and Slovakia, where we're seeing continued large scale investments by the major vehicle makers, means opportunities for our business especially as component outsourcing continues to expand there," he explains.
Thirty minutes' drive from Linamar's offices and nearby plants is the Waterloo University's Faculty of Engineering. The university works closely with both Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs in automotive research and operates several programmes, thanks partly to sponsored research funds of over CAD 32 million (2005-2006 financial year).
According to Dr Michael Worswick, Associate Dean of Engineering, the faculty is a leader in mathematics, engineering and computer science. On campus are test cells for welding and microjoining, stamping and hydroforming and a facility for fuel cell development.
"The university is recognised as a leader in technology transfer to the private sector; in fact, it's a source of some 250 spin-off companies," he says. "The Waterloo Centre for Automotive Research (WatCAR) promotes worldclass research in support of the automotive sector. We also like to think of the centre as a common interface for strategic interaction with OEMs and Tier 1s," adds Dr Amir Khajepour, a specialist in mechatronics and manufacturing.
Future vehicle programme highlights
The only Lexus plant outside Japan is located in Ontario. The Cambridge factory builds the RX 350 crossover and is expected to continue doing so when the replacement is announced in 2009.
A new plant at Woodstock with a capacity of 150,000 units per year will build the Toyota RAV4 from 2008.
Ford's Oakville assembly plant will be the fi rst in Canada to build hybrid vehicles in 2008.
The 2009 Ford Flex (Project D471), the company's new premium minivan/SUV crossover will be built at Oakville from 2008. A Lincoln derivative (D472) is expected to follow later in the year.
Oshawa 1 will be the sole production source for the new Chevrolet Camaro (GMX 521) coupe and convertible. Other rear-wheel drive future GM vehicles will share its architecture, such as the 2009 Chevrolet Impala (GMX 551).
Oshawa Truck will be the sole plant for the new Chevy Silverado Hybrid/GMC Sierra Hybrid pickups.
Dodge Challenger (LX27) – the arrival of this new coupe will mean four cars will be built on one line: Dodge Magnum and Charger plus the Chrysler 300. Expect the production Challenger to debut at the Chicago show next February with sales to start in August. It is expected to be a high-priced, limited build model, not a direct rival to the Ford Mustang as some had thought.
Close to Chrysler Canada's minivan plant and the US border is the other major tertiary institution facilitating partnerships between industry and academic researchers – the University of Windsor and its innovative 'AUTO21' programme. With 110 industry, government and institutional partners, AUTO21 links 230 researchers at 37 academic facilities, government research facilities and private sector research laboratories across Canada. The programme is industry-driven and is divided into six key themes: health, safety and injury prevention; societal issues; materials and manufacturing; design processes; powertrains, fuels and emissions; and intelligent systems and sensors.
Research takes a multi-disciplinary approach, pairing non-traditional fields to spark 'innovative solutions'," Dr Peter Frise, AUTO21's programme leader and CEO tells AMS. "Our job is to encourage partnerships between these bright minds and the private and public sector to ensure that Canada's auto industry stays at the forefront."
As well as the joined-up thinking applied to industry and university research, Ontario has been an innovator in commercialising ground-breaking research. To accelerate the commercialisation of new technologies and materials, the province has so far provided CAD 800 million in funding to support research, commercialisation and cluster development.
One interesting aside is the philosophy of offering flexible, company-orientated terms that allow OEMs and suppliers to acquire the rights to intellectual property developed at public research centres.
Two foreign suppliers that have both seen their businesses grow in line with that of established OEMs are Autoliv and Amino Corporation, the latter a metal forming specialist. The company marked its 75th anniversary by opening its first North American facility in St Thomas.
"We invested 11 million [Canadian] dollars in our first plant, which measures over 5,000 m2 and we employ 32 workers for GM's Oshawa and Wilmington, Delaware plants," says President Hiroyuki Amino. The company is currently finalising plans for expansion of a technical centre and testing and prototyping of over 2,300 m2.
Sweden's Autoliv also started a small operation in Ontario in 1999 that has rapidly grown to more than six times its original size. The company's Tilbury plant (less than an hour's drive to the US border) was chosen primarily for its strategic location and well-trained workforce, according to plant manager, Paul Henderson.
Having started with 100 employees, Autoliv now has a workforce of 650 and has just completed a 4,600m2 addition to its inflatable curtain side airbag facility.
Another supplier with a growing business, Presstran Industries in St Thomas, is a far larger operation. A subsidiary of Magna, it focuses on heavy automotive stampings and welded assemblies. General Manager Sam Barraco reveals some history: "We started in St Thomas in 1984 and now have 840 staff. This plant processes 670 tons of coiled steel a day and specialises in chassis and underbody components. Presstran supplies GM for the GMT 900 series vehicles and we also ship parts for the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger. Future projects include the Ford Flex in late 2007 and the next Mazda 6, for which we'll start supplying components from April 2008." Until recently, Presstran also provided pressed parts for the Jaguar S-Type, which will be replaced by the XF sedan from early 2008.
Also based in St Thomas is another Magna subsidiary, Formet Industries, a vehicle frame assembler and the world's largest hydroforming specialist. Models it supplies include the 2008 Jeep Wrangler, 2008 Ford Expedition and the heavy duty versions of GM's Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pick-ups. The company has also won a major contract to supply frames to Ford for the 2009 F-150, with production scheduled to start in April 2008.
Magna itself has 62 production sites in Canada (the majority of which are located in Ontario) as well as eight engineering and research and development centres. According to Lou Tonelli, Vice President of Investor Relations, the Aurora-based Tier 1, Magna will play an even greater role in component sourcing for what the company predicts will be a global light vehicle production total of 77.7 million units in 2011 (from 66 million in 2006).
He is cautious on the prospects for growth in North America, however.
Using data supplied by JD Power/ LMC, Magna's forecasting for global vehicle production shows only a 1.2% increase for North America, 0.5% for Western Europe and 0.4% for Japan during the 2005 to 2011 period. By contrast, China production should average 93% growth in the same period, while India (up 71%) and South Africa (up 25%) are also expected to remain strong. The company's subsidiaries that specialise in powertrain, body and chassis, and electrical and electronics are projected to enjoy the strongest rises in a market that is estimated to reach CAD 700 billion by 2015.
"We also see a further consolidation of the automotive supply base in the medium to long term. Many of our smaller competitors have been significantly weakened in the last few years and are now suffering from a lack of resources for their next generation programmes," Tonelli says. The Tier 1 forecasts roughly 2,800 global suppliers by 2015, down from 5,500 in 2002 and 8,000 in 1998.
Concurring with the company's predictions for further consolidation in the supplier chain at local level is the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA). It represents producers of parts, equipment, tools, supplies and services at a national and provincial level. Founded in 1952, the APMA has more than 400 members, which accounts for a reported 90% of independent parts production in Canada.
According to President Gerry Fedchun, the association's members accounted for CAD 28.8 billion of automotive parts manufacturing in the country last year. Though he paints a picture of a resilient supplier network, particularly in Ontario, many challenges remain. "The pressure to produce lighter parts, reduce non-renewable resource usage and improve hybrid powertrains via, for instance, lighter batteries, is relentless. OEMs continue to demand better transmissions, so we're seeing more movement towards CVTs; reducing emissions is another priority, which means more research into better catalysts," Fedchun tells AMS.
"Vehicle makers and suppliers need flexibility to assemble more models and parts for different platforms in the same plant. With the exception of GM – which is, as we know, undergoing major restructuring – we're expecting the major OEMs to move towards increased model lines and shorter vehicle lifecycles in the next year to two years," he adds.
Fedchun believes the supplier industry has to get used to a new business model that will mean faster vehicle production change-overs, shorter model runs but more vehicles per platform and rapid market change demands – witness the current move to crossovers from body-on-frame SUVs throughout North America, for example.
As for the future of Ontario's parts makers, Fedchun is optimistic. He believes Mexico is more at risk than Canada from the challenge presented by low-cost start-ups in China and India. "More goods will come from Asia, Central America and Central Europe. Some Mexican production has already moved south. The APMA members can compete in roughly 80% of vehicle parts production for long distance export and we're ahead of China and India in many ways.
"But to be economic, auto parts have to be offline – they can't be just-in-time. You also have to make sure they travel well so they're difficult to damage and won't corrode in salt air; parts also have to stack well to ensure there's high value per container. These are the sorts of details we have to keep analysing – our fixed costs are higher than in emerging markets, so we have to find ways to cut inefficiencies but keep our quality," Fedchun explains.
A global supplier with an expanding local export business is Germany's ZF-Lenksysteme. The company manufactures steering assemblies and intermediate shafts for commercial vehicles and is a subsidiary of the joint venture between ZF Friedrichshafen and Robert Bosch. "Although there are less than 100 people working in St Thomas, we have managed to grow the business steadily since we started in 2000. About 50% to 70% of our production goes to GM and Ford, but we are always looking to new customers outside North America. We need to diversify our business, especially as we are seeing a lot of restructuring, particularly in the US market," says President and CEO Bernhard Freiermuth.
As well as the cluster of suppliers that have established themselves close to the Ford plant in St Thomas, there's another OEM based in the south western Ontario city: Sterling Trucks, a division of Daimler. Though the only components made at the plant are fuel tanks, Sterling has nevertheless carved a profitable niche for heavy truck assembly. Both Class 6 and Class 8 trucks come down the plant's single assembly line at the rate of 120 units a day.
The St Thomas plant builds the A-Line, L-Line, Acterra and Car Hauler models, with 26,673 trucks shipped across the world in 2006, though 83% of units produced goes to the US.
The significant drop in truck production at Sterling earlier this year saw necessary staff cuts to a workforce of 2,200. Production is however starting to recover, after the expected slow sales of the first half of 2007, following significant price rises because of new emissions laws in North America.
The pull-forward effects of late-2006 pre-buying gave Sterling a production and profitability buffer, but like other truck makers, it has had to adapt to survive. Production remains on a small scale but the plant now builds right-hand drive trucks for the Australia and New Zealand markets – a great example of the niches that Ontario-based automotive companies seem particularly adept at exploiting.
The risks for the province's parts suppliers and vehicle makers persist, particularly from the ongoing difficulties being experienced by GM, Ford and Chrysler. With 75% of assembly output linked to the Detroit Three, about 90% of the province's parts manufacturing depends on them for business. Japanese makers are expanding but their supply base still is not growing quickly enough to offset the attrition elsewhere.
Other factors, such as the recent rise in the value of the [Canadian] dollar to parity with the US currency and soaring raw material costs present constant challenges to the region's parts suppliers and OEMs alike. Yet nowhere is a sense of panic visible at the many companies visited to compile this article.
Instead, there is calm and order. That more than CAD 7 billion has been invested in new projects in the past two years seems a convincing indicator that the automotive sector will remain a strong pillar for Ontario's economy for years to come.

Data Strategy on Demand
COVID-19 Insights: We're Ready For Retail Therapy
-30% Planning Spending Spree In Next Month
COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to be lifted across Canada, but sadness increasingly defines how Canadians feel about their situation.
Caddle has been tracking the emotions felt by our 10,000 member daily survey panel in response to COVID since February. The most recent data shows a 43% increase in the proportion of Canadians reporting sadness associated with social distancing.
But one of the ways consumers are dealing with the COVID blues is by looking to retail therapy as a means to raise their spirits. Nearly one in three Canadians are planning a spending spree in the next month.
Here's what we learned this week.
(If you're not already on the mailing list, sign up for our free weekly summary here.)
Social distancing is getting us down
Since the early days of the crisis we have been tracking what emotion our panel most associate with both social distancing and coronavirus more generally.
When we asked on March 18, 57.9% of Canadians chose anxiety as the emotion they most associate with coronavirus. By May 15, this had fallen to 46.4% — much closer to the 41% we recorded on February 29th.
When it comes to social distancing, the picture is one of rising sadness. On March 25, 30.4% of our panel identified sadness as the emotion they most associated with social distancing. This rose to 43.5% when we asked on May 15 — an increase of over 40%.
This suggests that over two months of severely reduced social interaction is starting to get Canadians down.
Could a shopping spree help?
It is against this backdrop that we asked our panel about their spending plans in the month ahead.
We found that increasingly there will be a role for shopping as a way to lift Canadians' spirits through such a tough time.
Caddle data shows that 44% of Canadians look to retail therapy as a means to improve their mood, while 40% of our panel say that a spending spree can make them feel happy or excited.
Now that retail stores are beginning to open up again, our data suggests that this retail therapy will become a significant factor in the next month.
Even in the earlier stages of the pandemic, we had identified this mechanism. At the start of April we learned that a third of Canadians had made purchases they considered a treat or luxury to keep their spirits up during social distancing.
Now, across all respondents on our panel, 31% say they planning an online shopping spree in the next month.
When we look specifically at panel members who told us they use shopping to improve their mood, this rises to 52.7% of people planning a shopping spree in the next month.
Those who are more likely to believe in the morale boosting power of shopping are much more likely to be planning discretionary purchases in the next month.
It is also important to note that we asked specifically about online purchases and asked the question before the announcement that Ontario retail locations would be permitted to reopen on May 19.
What could these shopping sprees look like?
Clothing is likely to be the biggest category to benefit from this trend. Looking specifically at those who told us they were 'likely' or 'very likely' to go on a shopping spree in the next month, 51% selected this category where they make retail therapy purchases.
Home and garden was second with 17.0% planning spending in this area.
While clothing is a significant category across all demographics, there are variations elsewhere. Males are just as likely to treat themselves an electronics purchase as a clothing purchase (about 1 in 3), while older Canadians over-index on retail therapy with home and garden purchases (23%).
How much will we spend?
The vast majority of these planned spending sprees will be under $200. 49.9% of those planning a spending spree told us they planned to spend less than $100, with a further 36.4% looking to keep their purchases under $200.
We're moving beyond 'essentials only' shopping
Earlier in the pandemic we recorded that cutting back on non-essential items was the key tactic Canadians were using to save money. That a significant minority are now starting to think about discretionary spending sprees suggests we might be moving into a new phase, where consumers feel more confident about making non-essential purchases.
The next month is crucial for online vs in-store
This data showed a third of Canadians planning an online shopping spree. However as stores begin to reopen, will these purchases migrate in store instead? Where this spending ends up taking place will be a significant indicator of the role eCommerce will play in the medium term in Canada
We're ready for positive vibes
Despite the rising reports of COVID-related sadness, this data suggests that many Canadians are looking for those moments of joy and positivity. This is no doubt boosted by some restrictions starting to be eased. We're looking for things that will lift our mood and there is an opportunity for brands to be part of that positivity.

"I cycle my bike competitively on the weekends and after 6 months of Pilates at Horizon Health twice a week I am now not having back pain issues, have a stronger core and I'm also placing on the podium in races!"
"I wasn't able to lie my head down flat in my bed. After 3 months of Pilates 3 times a week at Horizon Health my posture is now corrected and I am able to easily lower my head without pillow support"
"I danced my way through childhood and have continued to exercise consistently ever since. However, I was only introduced to the CHEK method by Caroline Tee about a year ago. For someone who has tried everything from aerobics and weight training to pilates and yoga, I was interested to try something new but did not think that it would have any particular impact; but I was so wrong. With quite simple but very different movements combined with eating according to your own metabolic type, I feel fitter but also calmer and more balanced than I think I ever have. For someone who is not overweight and had good numbers anyway, I was also very pleasantly surprised to learn at my last physical that my weight, blood pressure and resting heart rate had all dropped significantly. And the best part is that I have never once felt like I am dieting or on some crazy excersise kick – everything just feels balanced and easy. I am stronger but leaner, energized but relaxed and satisfied by food without any cravings. This is something that I will be able to continue indefinitely and that makes me very happy."
"After going through three doctors, two physiotherapists, numerous MRI and X-ray scans and almost ten years of pain, my constant back and hip pain were getting me down. I decided it was time to get my health back in order so I sought out Caroline (Horizon Health), a good friend and someone I knew was full of good spirit. Caroline's energy, encouragement and holistic approach have not only changed the way I eat but also the way I feel about myself. Having advised me to use the CHEK workout techniques, Caroline is helping me to strengthen my back, my hip and re-align my body (who ever knew my left leg was an inch longer than my right!) Although I am still working on it, I have definitely noticed a beneficial difference and those doctor's appointments have been cancelled!"

Joseph Vissirionovich Stalin (Djugashvili – his family name) is a controversial figure to say the least. From the time he became the leader of both the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) in 1924, after the untimely death of the great Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (prematurely as a consequence of an assassination attempt in 1918) he has been vilified and denigrated by all those who seek to maintain the status quo of exploitation and oppression and the control of everything by a small minority.
In 1939 Chairman Mao wrote a short pamphlet entitled To be attacked by the enemy is not a bad thing but a good thing. The Chairman has also been subject to vicious slanders and calumnies, in the same way as 'Uncle Joe' before him. But we have only to look at those throwing the insults to consider that we should take a step back and not just follow the mindless herd.
What follows is a selection of biographies (mostly) from a 'pro-Stalin' stance. I make no excuse about only including those which stress the positive aspects of Comrade Stalin's time as not only leader of the Soviet Union (and its Communist Party) but also – until the end of World War II and the success of the Marxist-Leninist led Liberation movements in Albania and China – the leader of the International Communist Movement.
If you want 'the opposing view' just open a newspaper (analogue or digital); turn on a radio or TV; open a book by the sycophantic and toadying authors whose mission is to create confusion and discord based upon shallow and doubtful 'scholarship'; or (perhaps frighteningly so) listen to any of the politicians in what used to be socialist countries as they push anyone else away as they seek to get as deep as possible up the fundament of capitalism.
As such opposition to Stalin is so ubiquitous – and as (in the capitalist west, especially the UK with its lauded BBC with its remarkably prejudiced 'impartiality') you are supposed to look at both sides of the argument you will better spend your time downloading and reading some of the biographies made available here.
The first 'official' (so far as I've encountered – at least in English) biography of Stalin, produced by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute in Moscow and published in translation in London in 1940 – before the Soviet union was considered an ally of the UK in the war against Hitlerite Fascism.
Reminiscences of the role that JV Stalin played in the Russian Civil War (and the War in Intervention by the capitalist powers) between 1918-1922. Written by one of those who fought at his side. Again published just before the invasion of the Soviet Union by the Hitlerite forces of Fascism.
A revised version of the 1941 biography published by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute and printed in London. This time a version printed in Moscow in 1942 – after the invasion by the Hitlerite Fascists.
A biography written after the Hitlerite Fascist invasion of the Soviet Union just after the tide was beginning to turn against the invaders. A general look at the life of the Soviet leader. I can find no information about the author.
A biography first published by the Foreign Languages Publishing House in Moscow in 1940 but which was reprinted in London as the interest in the background of the principle ally in the fight against Hitlerite Fascism grew after the invasion of the Soviet Union by the Nazi forces in June 1941. Yemelyan Yaroslavsky was a historian as well as a member of the Central Committee of the RCP from 1919. He was involved in the publication of a number of historical works of the Soviet Union – including the Civil War.
A biography written by a member of the Communist Party of Great (sic) Britain in 1945 after the Liberation of the country from Nazi Fascism in the Great Patriotic War. Murphy seemed to have quite personal access to Stalin at the time of his visits to the Soviet Union.
THE official biography of Stalin. Published in 1949, well after the defeat of Fascism, it was the last biography to be produced before the revisionist denunciation of Stalin (and consequently Lenin and all that the Revolution of 1917 meant for the workers and peasants of the world).
A series of three articles written by Kliment Voroshilov on the 59th, 60th and 70th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Joseph Stalin.
Different from the other biographies that concentrate on the political situation in which Stalin lived. This is the reminiscences of a nephew who talks about Stalin and his relationships with his family – including Stalin's three wives.
A photographic history of JV Stalin, including some rarely seen photos. Published in Tirana, Albania and with an emphasis on the importance Stalin played in the Liberation of the country and in the building of Socialism.
Memoirs of a soldier who became one of Stalin's bodyguards in 1931 until his death in 1953.
An analysis, and refutation, of the lies that have been perpetuated over the decades to vilify JV Stalin, not only to demonise the man himself but to place doubts in the minds of workers and peasants throughout the world that the solution to their problems is the building of Communism through the means of a revolutionary change of society.

Q: "The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string" MySQL with Entity Framework I have set up a new project in VS 2017. My intention is to use EF CodeFirst approach. So far I used Azure SQL Database, while in this test project I want to use my remote MySQL database. I have created the user and permissions are set just right. This remote database server is accessible to me over MySQL Workbench.
I have created a new blank MVC project and through Nuget I installed MySQL.Data.Entity (version 6.9.10).
My Context class:
[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public class WebDb : DbContext
{
    public WebDb() : base("WebDb")
    {

    }

    public DbSet<Candidate> Candidates { get; set; }
}

My web.config has these entries:
<entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
      <parameters>
        <parameter value="mssqllocaldb" />
      </parameters>

    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>

And my connection string is:
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="WebDb" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" connectionString="server=x.x.x.x;uid=dbuser;pwd=password;database=temp1;" />
</connectionStrings>

I have a simple domain class
public class Candidate
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

When I give Enable-Migrations -Force command, I get

Checking if the context targets an existing database...

  The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string.

I have searched far and wide to the best of my knowledge to no avail. What's happening here? What am I missing?

A: I've been having the same problems as you recently.  Everything worked fine in SQL Server, but I was having lots of problems converting to MySQL.  Some things that worked for me are:
    Install-Package MySQL.Data -Version 6.9.9
    Install-Package MySql.Data.Entity -Version 6.9.10

The newer 8.0 packages of MySQL appear to have problems.  When I reverted to an older version, it worked.
Your app.config should look like:
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="MySql.Data" publicKeyToken="c5687fc88969c44d" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.9.9.0" newVersion="6.9.9.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
      <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6, Version=6.8.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"></provider>
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>
  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
      <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.9.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />
      <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.9.9.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
</configuration>

Even after that, there are some discrepancies in MySQL that I'm just finding out.  For example, your migration "index" statements will not work.  You'll have to edit the migration file and build the index yourself.  Another thing that I just read, but haven't encountered, is that the MySQL driver does not allow multiple connections which may mean changing the way you retrieve async collections.  Lastly, I had a problem with RowVersion being a byte[].  I used a variation from the following article to solve this (hopefully!).
Better way to implement a row version with EF Core and MySQL?

Diabetes mellitus affects 23.6 million Americans, or about 8% of the US population.1 This includes nearly 18 million persons with diagnosed disease and about 5.7 million undiagnosed cases.
Although promising late-stage drugs in the cardiovascular (CV) pipeline are few, increasing numbers of pharmaceutical manufacturers are taking a stab at oral, fixed-dose alternatives to warfarin, many of which are in phase 3 clinical trials. The following agents were featured at special sessions at the 2010 annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
The financial nonsustainability of the healthcare system and the use of evidence-based guidelines to guide clinical practice are on a collision course, according to cancer experts who participated in a roundtable discussion on the economic issues affecting cancer care. The panel was held during the 15th annual conference of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The discussion focused on the challenging question of how to pay for the increasingly costly care of cancer. The panel included payers, physicians, patient advocates, and industry experts.
According to the updated 2010 practice guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the work-up of patients with early breast cancer should not include imaging by positron-emission tomography (PET) or by PET/computed tomography (CT) scanning. This updated guideline has implications for healthcare stakeholders, especially providers and health plans.

Malpani Clinic in the Print Media
Our baby joy, by test-tube tourists who flew to India
Britons risked fury of health professionals at home to have banned multi-embryo implant Amelia Gentleman in Mumbai
After 18 years of trying for a child, and thousands of pounds spent on unsuccessful fertility treatment, Wendy and Brian Duncan feared their time was running out. They flew to Mumbai, formerly Bombay, and came back pregnant with an Indian baby.
The Duncans had joined the growing stream of Britons seeking fertility help abroad because they could not afford it in the UK. Their beautiful, dark-eyed daughter Freya is now 10 months old.
Mumbai doctors treating 39-year-old Wendy Duncan were not confident embryos from her own eggs would develop, so she asked them to implant four donated embryos along with two of her own. 'The doctor had to think about it because he had only Indian embryos for adoption, no white ones, and he had not done that before for a white couple - we sat up all night talking, hoping he'd say "Yes," and he did,' she said. 'We laid bets on whether it would be ginger like me or not while I was pregnant. It was only when the midwife told me that she could see lots of black hair we knew it was an Indian embryo that had taken. I had the feeling all along it would be. I don't have words to describe how happy we are.'
Websites advertising Indian clinics have enticed more and more couples to take the radical step of consulting doctors thousands of miles away, where treatment is cheaper, quicker and less tightly governed than in the UK. Regulators in Britain have expressed concern at the ethical and clinical risks involved, and warn couples to think twice.
Going to India was traumatic for the Duncans, who had never visited Asia. Friends told them they were 'insane' to make the trip to Mumbai and their doctors strongly advised against it. 'When we got off the plane we almost turned back. The airport was full of men with guns, and the pavements were covered with people living in tents and cooking on open stoves on the streets,' Mrs Duncan said. 'It was filthy and there was such poverty, beggars with tiny babies. It was terrifying - not for the faint-hearted.'
Inside the clinic, the atmosphere is welcoming. Hundreds of pictures of newborns cover the walls, and stuffed toy animals hugging baby animals are arranged on every available surface.
Aniruddha Malpani and his wife Anjali say their clinic has served growing numbers of foreigners since they created a website in 2000. 'About 15 per cent of our patients are foreigners with no family connection with India. In 2002 we saw about five patients in the entire year, in 2004 we treated 15, and now we treat at least one foreign couple a week,' Dr Malpani said. 'For our patients from the UK there is major grief as far as the NHS is concerned. People are so unhappy with the long waiting lists - and delays of three to six months before they can see a specialist.'
As Mrs Duncan had a daughter, now 19, with a previous partner and was overweight, she was barred from IVF treatment on the NHS. The couple borrowed £8,000 for one private treatment, which failed. They sold their shop and looked at heading abroad. India appealed because it had English-speaking doctors. The total cost, including flights and hotel stay for a month, was £4,000. Mr Duncan said. 'It wasn't just that India was cheaper. People were prepared to spend time with us; we felt like human beings.'
The couple received intense treatment now banned on safety grounds in the UK, where doctors will implant only one or two embryos; Mrs Duncan received six.
Their GP in the UK was furious, pointing out the risks to the mother and the potential cost to the NHS of treating a woman bearing sextuplets. Other health professionals were equally disapproving.
'Their attitude was that people like us were going abroad to get treatment, and then coming back to dump any problems on the NHS,' Mr Duncan said. 'Our attitude was that if the NHS had been able to help us in the first place, we wouldn't have gone abroad.'
Friends and family gave their full support. 'My eldest daughter is mixed race and Brian has been her dad since she was six months old,' said Mrs Duncan. 'So we both know what Freya might expect.'
In another Mumbai clinic, Sunita, 46, a newsagent from Leicester, was seeking treatment she is deemed too old for in England. 'Coming here has been very stressful, but I'm at a time of life where I feel like if I don't try this now, it's never going to happen for me,' she said.
Firuza Parikh, her doctor, does not usually treat patients over 43, but made an exception despite the slim chances of success. 'Patients get so frustrated by the wait in the NHS. They think that they will be too old by the time they finally get treated, if they are eligible according to the postcode lottery,' Dr Parikh said.
At his Assisted Conception Unit, Hrishikeh Pai said his foreign clientele was growing so fast he planned to open a second clinic in Goa, so Europeans could take a beach holiday during treatment.
Medical tourism of all kinds is forecast to become a $2.3bn business in India by 2012, with predictions it will be the next major driver of the economy after the IT industry.


Located 8kms East of Madurai off the Rameswaram Highway on the Northern banks of Vaigai is the Veera Raghava Perumal temple in Vandiyur, a temple that dates back to the 16th Century AD and to the rule of Thirumalai Nayak.
In centuries gone by, Azhagar used to enter the Vaigai at Thenoor, a village west of Madurai near Sholavandan. It was during Thirumalai Nayakar's period that this was moved to Madurai to coincide with the Meenakshi Thiruvizha as he wanted to make this the biggest festival of Madurai. Vaishnavite legend has it that the purpose of Azhagar's trip from Azhagar Koil was to liberate Manduka Maharishi from Durvasa's curse and provide him moksham.
Thirumalai Nayak found the idol of Veera Raghava Perumal on the banks of Vaigai here at Vandiyur while on a trip to Kaalayar Koil and installed it here making KallAzhagar's visit to Vandiyur an important and integral part of the Chitrai Festival.
Having made his way into the Vaigai at Madurai for the Annual Chitrai Festival, KallAzhagar goes further East along the Vaigai on his Horse Vahana to Vandiyur to meet with Veera Raghava Perumal here on the full moon day in Chitrai.
After staying here through the night at Vandiyur, KallAzhagar, adorned with necklaces, provides Ekantha Sevai the next morning at 5am after which he goes on a street procession mounted on his Sesha Vahana to provide darshan to devotees here at Vandiyur.
Also, here at Vandiyur, the idol of Manduka Maha Rishi is specially decorated in the morning. As part of enactment of the liberation from curse, he receives garland and parivattam from the Lord.
Later in the day, KallAzhagar gets back on his Garuda Vahana and bids goodbye to Veera Raghava Perumal for yet another year making his way to the Ramaraya Mandapa and then back to Azhagar Koil bring to end the Chitrai Thiruvizha.
Auto from Madurai Junction will cost Rs. 75.

Waterloo 38 Middlesbrough 8
WATERLOO notched up their second win of the season to lift them away from the basement of National 3 North.
Visibly growing in confidence in recent weeks after an indifferent start to their season, Waterloo displayed an impressive spirit in defence and showed determination throughout to win this contest.
Director of rugby Jan Van Deventer said: "We have now taken eleven points from our last three matches and that has moved us up into 10th place and, although with three to go down, that does not open up a sufficient gap.
"It is a start and keeps us well in line for the target we set ourselves for October.
"We have been striving for a particular pattern and structure from the beginning of the season and from the way we played last Saturday it would appear that at last the message is getting home. I am proud of every one of them."
This Saturday Waterloo are away to newly promoted Lymm who have made a solid start at their first attempt at this level of rugby having won five of their seven games played and are third in the table behind Chester and Stockport.
"This is going to be a very tough fixture and I am expecting a
very hard contest at Beechwood," Deventer said. "Waterloo have an illustrious history in the rugby of the north west and I guess clubs like Lymm will only be too eager to get one over on us. However we are on the up and we will be giving everything we've got."

#StenaSuperfastX – Stena Line's announcement last week to consolidate its Dublin-Holyhead route and close Dun Laoghaire-Holyhead HSS services, will be manifested by the debut of 'Superfast X' to Dublin Port in early March, writes Jehan Ashmore.
According to the operator's UK website, Stena Superfast X is to make her first sailing as the route's 'flagship' from Dublin Port to Holyhead in the early hours of Monday 9 March.
The Superfast X at 29,800 tonnes will directly replace the Stena Nordica. The larger newcomer will join the route's other existing second ship, Stena Adventurer of 44, 000 tonnes.
By introducing Superfast X, the ferry with a 1,200 passenger capacity compares starkly to Nordica which only handled 400. In addition freight capacity will be 2kms of lane metres.
In order to achieve these loading capabilities, work on Superfast X as previously reported by Afloat.ie, are reaching the final phases of a major refurbishment and internal reconfiguration by MacGregor.
This will see facilities for passenger space quadruple as decks eight, nine and most of deck 10 are exclusively for guests instead of the confined single deck facilities found on Stena Nordica.
The works on Superfast X, previously Dieppe Seaways, that ran DFDS Seaways Dover-Calais services are been carried out by MacGregor in association with the Romentowa shipyard in Gydnia, Poland.
This yard on the Baltic Sea is not to be confused with another Romentowa facility in the neighbouring port of Gdansk, where a further pair of 'Superfast' sisters, were extensively converted into Stena's Superfast VII and VIII. For a previous related report, click HERE.
Following radical refits, the transformed pair where launched in 2011 on the new Belfast-Cairnryan route, following the closure of the Scottish port of Stranraer.
Nordica's is scheduled to make her final sailing from Holyhead on Sunday 8 March, by arrival late at night into Dublin Port.
As mentioned above, the inaugural Superfast X sailing is scheduled to take over from Nordica's sailing roster during a transition in the Irish port.

Sunny and warm year round, the tropical seas of Cancun, Mexico are a favorite haunt for Whale Sharks, the biggest sharks in Cancun. Actually, Whale Sharks are the biggest sharks, period, and they're also the biggest fish in the sea.
Whale Sharks can reach a length of 40 feet and weigh over 20 tons. They have a long lifespan of up to 150 years, and they're found in all of the world's temperate and tropical oceans. There was a time when Whale Sharks were hunted for their fins, liver oils, and skins, but once governments around the world caught on that these docile behemoths are worth more money alive and thrilling tourists than in soup and lipstick, steps were taken to protect them.
Nowadays, one of the biggest industries in Cancun is the ubiquitous Whale Shark tour. You can head out on a boat to watch them swim, or you can join a snorkeling excursion and actually join them in the water. Swimming with Whale Sharks is safe, and it's an event you'll never forget.
Some Fascinating Facts About Whale Sharks
Finding a Reputable Tour Guide
Protect the Ocean and the Sharks
Whale Sharks are called "gentle giants" because their size is astonishing and they're curious, sweet creatures who wouldn't dream of purposefully harming a human.
Although Whale Sharks sport thousands of tiny teeth in their four-foot wide mouths, they don't use them to bite or chew. That's because they're filter feeders. Whale Sharks have a device called a "gill raker," which traps microscopic plankton and other tiny plants and animals on which the sharks subsist. About 1,500 gallons of water move through the gill rakers every hour.
Whale Sharks are curious, and they often approach boats and swimmers to see what's going on. Each Whale Shark sports a unique pattern of pale yellow spots and stripes on its skin, which can be as thick as 3.9 inches.
It's estimated that only around 10 percent of Whale Shark pups survive to adulthood. These sharks are ovoviviparous, which means that the eggs hatch inside the mother, who then gives birth to live pups. Once they're born, the mother promptly abandons them and they're left to fend for themselves.
Whale Sharks are listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN's Red List, and several countries, including the Philippines, Taiwan, and India prohibit the commercial fishing and selling of these sharks.
Most governments regulate the Whale Shark tourism industry, and the Mexican government is no different. Laws are strictly enforced and apply to everybody. Some of the Mexican laws and regulations surrounding Whale Shark tourism include a limit of 10 passengers per excursion (not including the boat crew) and a five-person limit when swimming with the sharks, which must be done under the supervision of a guide. Only licensed captains with special permits can allow you to swim with the sharks.
You are not allowed to touch the sharks for their own protection, and you should stay at least 10 feet away from the sharks at all times. Only wear biodegradable lotions and sunscreens, and don't use a flash when you're photographing the sharks.
The best time to head out on a Whale Shark viewing or swimming trip is between May and September, with the peak Whale Shark action happening in July and August. August 30th is officially the Mexican Day of the Whale Shark.
Everywhere you turn in Cancun, you'll find a Whale Shark tour operator who will take you out to watch or swim with the sharks. But not all tour operators are reputable, and choosing the right one is essential for your and the sharks' safety.
Properly licensed and reputable tour operators will ensure that the crew and tour guides have the necessary training and permits required for guiding viewing and swimming excursions. They will be certified to perform CPR, and they will have taken a required Whale Shark biology course.
For several reasons, it's best to choose a local tour operator rather than a large company. Supporting the local economy anywhere you travel is always important, and locals tend to know the best spots, have the best stories, and be the most welcoming.
Many tour operators participate in Whale Shark research or actively work to promote the conservation of these and other marine animals, either through activism, research, or donating a percentage of the tour proceeds to organizations that work to protect the sharks. Finding an environmentally responsible tour operator is essential for ensuring the continued protection of Whale Sharks.
Avoid tour operators that offer to let you break the rules or whose tours are extremely inexpensive – they're probably charging less than the legal standard and may not adhere to essential regulations, such as not using boats operated by diesel fuel, which harms the whales, and disobeying speed and proximity laws. For this reason, don't join a tour guide who tells you that he or she will get you closer to the whales than any other tour operator. That may be true, but it's not in the sharks' best interest.
Never litter in the ocean or take anything that belongs in it out of it. Protecting the ocean environment is essential for protecting the Whale Shark species, and considering that there are hundreds of tourists swimming with the sharks every day, it's important that everyone adheres to the rules and best practices.
When a Whale Shark approaches you, relax! Enjoy being close to the shark, but don't give into the urge to touch it or hitch a ride on it. Doing so can harm the sharks and get you in a lot of trouble with the law. Try not to block the shark's path, and of course, don't try to feed it!


A new reagent discovered by research scientists at St George's, University of London has shown real-time brain behaviour in more detail than ever before.
An ultrafast sensor which binds to glutamate will allow scientists to visualise messaging at the synapses - which occurs on a millisecond timescale.
The sensor, iGluu, will now be made available to other researchers who may be working on either the fundamental properties of neuronal signalling or on neurodegenerative disease such as Huntington' and Alzheimer's disease. The sensor will help reveal what goes wrong with glutamate signalling in these conditions.
The research paper has been published in PNAS, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Please see this link for more information.


Guides are girls aged from 10 to 14 years. Guides enjoy themselves! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities and adventures that challenge them to do their best. Their meetings are action-packed and full of challenges, games and activities that the Guides have suggested themselves. Guides find their own level and do their best for themselves, and they always have fun doing it. Each Guide is a member of a Patrol. A Patrol plans and carries out its own activities with the support of the Guide Leader, so that each Guide has a role in deciding what they do.
We have a number of Guide units in Harpenden, Redbourn and the surrounding villages.
Flamstead Tuesday Registration of all new members is dealt with through the Girlguiding UK website. To register your daughter's name, please visit www.girlguiding.org.uk/interested and complete all the details required. You can select up to three different Guide units which you may be interested in joining. Girlguiding UK will then e-mail the leader of your first choice Guide unit and ask her to contact you within 21 days.

Portsmouth's first brewery is tucked into a strip mall just off High Street in Churchland. It is a little hard to find. MoMac Brewing Company is GPS worthy. If you've already discovered it, you know the way. Otherwise, enter 3228 Academy on Saturday, May 19 for the Release Party of their latest brew, Hope is… Honey Cream Ale. This is a special release party. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Roc Solid Foundation.
The answer became his mission. Roc Solid Foundation builds on the power of comfort and hope for children with cancer and their families. Roc Solid gives children Ready Bags, a suitcase full of everything they might need on the family's worst day, the day their child has to be admitted to the hospital to begin treatment.
Roc Solid does room makeovers for children, ages 8 – 18, who are forced to spend a lot of time in their bedrooms. They work with the children and their parents to discover their favorite colors and interests. Volunteers work with professional designers to make over the kid's bedrooms from top to bottom, including new paint, fixtures and furniture.
Eric Newman, founder and "chief play officer" believes in "playing it forward." When a young child is diagnosed with cancer, one of the first things that is taken away is the "opportunity to play." Roc Solid and their volunteers have built hundreds of backyard playsets for cancer patients ages 1 – 8.
Scott Krick and Rob Hess, co-owners of MoMac Brewery believe that MoMac is "by the community, for the community." Besides being driven to make the "best beer possible", Scott and Rob have hosted community fundraisers since opening their brewery.
MoMac sits right on the border of Churchland, in Portsmouth and Western Branch, in Chesapeake. Scott says the location is perfect. There is plenty of parking, lots of room for food trucks and activities outdoors and an expansive space for those big kettles full of brewing beer.
Scott and Rob knew about the work of the Roc Solid Foundation. They were invited to volunteer on a playset build. When they saw volunteers who "stopped what they were doing for a day to raise up a family" that was going through so much, they were inspired to create a new beer and host a fundraiser for Roc Solid Foundation.
They wanted to use local ingredients. The new beer, Hope is… Honey Cream Ale is brewed with Virginia malts and honey from Black Water Honey Bee Farm in Ivor.
On Sunday, May 19, Roc Solid Foundation will be building playsets for three different families. All the families and the volunteers will be invited back to MoMac Brewing Company for the first taste of Hope is… Honey Cream Ale. The public is invited to celebrate with them from 3:00 – 7:00 pm. There will be live music, food trucks and a special "Hope is.." cupcake from Twisted Sisters. All the proceeds will go to the Roc Solid Foundation. Scott hopes this will become an annual event.

Mass action rocks the man from the IMF
Published Sat 14 Jun 2003
MASS STRIKES and protests rocked the South American country of Peru as anger exploded against the government's International Monetary Fund (IMF) backed policies. Hundreds of thousands of teachers have been on strike for four weeks demanding higher wages. They have been joined on strike and in demonstrations by students, small-scale farmers, health workers and others.
Just over a week ago President Alejandro Toledo declared a state of emergency. Troops were sent onto the streets and clashes left scores of workers injured and one student dead.
But the attempt at repression failed. Teachers stayed out on strike and tens of thousands of workers marched, in total defiance of the state of emergency. This forced the government to broker a deal with teachers' leaders who are now consulting their members on it. The teachers' specific grievance was that Toledo had not honoured an election promise to raise their wages.
The deal under discussion would see teachers get an immediate 15 percent rise, with a pledge that salaries would be doubled by 2006. Toledo was elected after the popular uprising which forced former president Alberto Fujimori out nearly three years ago. Fujimori ruled for over a decade and created a near dictatorship, with savage repression and worsening economic conditions. The former World Bank adviser Toledo pledged to create one million jobs a year but official unemployment figures stand at over 10 percent.
Over half of Peru's 27 million people live on less than 75p a day. Toledo has made things worse by agreeing to impose strict spending limits in a deal with the IMF aimed at ensuring world bankers continue to get debt payments.
Fewer than one in seven Peruvians now support Toledo's government. The protests in defiance of the state of emergency, and the fact that the government has offered concessions, shows that the power of mass protest that toppled the dictator Fujimori can also derail Toledo and his IMF backers.

Deeper psychological research affirms, as in the system of Yoga, that this combination of forces can be disturbed, it can be modified, it can be totally changed. Personalities can be multiplied within the same individual; the conflicting personalities in the individual can be harmonised; one can become capable of putting forth the needed personality according to the circumstances or the demands of the work or situation, even while the other personalities would remain behind, contributing to the efficacy of the personality put in the front. One can even go beyond all personality and know the real person that assumes so many personalities.


This morning we decided to go to Queen of Tarts. It's an breakfast bakery that is owned by two Americans and has traditional English and Irish breakfast baked goods. On our way we walked down the famous Grafton Street that's in the middle of Dublin. It took us a while to find a place but once we did the food was delicious. On the way we got lost and so had a chance to talk to some local store owners and of course they had a lot of jokes and opinions. We walked all the way to the north side of Dublin across the river to get to the Irish Writer's museum. There we saw an amazing old books and letters written by famous Irish author like William Butler Yeats and James Joyce. I learned more than I thought I would. JB of course knew all of the writers and was able to be my personal guide. Afterwards we walked back down towards the river Liffey which separates Dublin stopping by a pub for a pint and seafood stew. The sun was shining and it was chilly but we decided that we would continue walk around despite being slightly drunk. We stumbled on some backstreet markets that sold used goods and local products. We bought books, handmade goods and music. Later that night we did go back out to a pub on Grafton Street and had some meat pies and Guinness. When we got back to the hotel I remembered in the magazine I got from the plane there was a beautiful picture of these cliffs in Ireland. I showed the hotel receptionist and said, "What is this and how do we get there?" He said that they are the Cliffs of Moher and he looked into getting on a small bus tour. So we booked it and fell asleep happy.


(MCT) - Patelin is evidently French slang for "country neighborhood."
It's also the name Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles gave to their newish line of Rhone-style white and red sourced from their own and neighbors' grapes. Many of them have planted cuttings from Tablas Creek, which came originally from the famed Chbteauneuf-du-Pape estate Chbteau de Beaucastel.
By blending their grapes with those of their neighbors, Tablas Creek can produce this terrific Rhone-style white at a great price for the quality. This vintage, the second, is a blend of Grenache Blanc with Viognier, Roussanne and a touch of Marsanne. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine is crisp and aromatic, with aromas of white peach and honeysuckle. It's definitely not shy, and it has an appealing minerality that makes it ideal with shellfish, grilled shrimp or whole fish, seafood pasta and risotto.


The Diocesan youth Chaplain is Rev. Fr. Paul Mutemi. He also Coordinates the Youth ministry (in/ Out of school) e.g. Charity days; Workshops; festivals; ballgames etc. The youth programme in the diocese is designed to help young people get an all-round formation as they grow up.
Due to the fact that most of the youth members are at home during the vacations (after closing schools in April, August and December) there are various activities planned in the diocese for them.
In April, it is time for balls games, where out-station teams meet at the parish level to play against one another, selecting teams to represent that parish at deanery level, who in turn select their teams to compete at the diocesan level.
Normally, the ball games involved include football (soccer); handball; netball and volleyball. A parish or deanery may include other ball games it deems fit and entertaining. A part from handball (for boys) and net ball (For girls only), other games are represented by both boys and girls teams.
In August, the diocese holds music festival, where choirs from outstations, after competing at the parish level are selected to represent that parish during the diocesan competitions.
During these festivals, these choirs present various articles composed from the given themes by the diocese (or national office, in the case of the National class). The melodies include own original compositions, adaptations of the existing melodies, set pieces, and traditional sacred dances and folksongs. In these festivals, the junior and senior youth articles may be held in the same or different days.
In December, the youth programme has drama festivals, where articles including stage production, poems (in English, Kiswahili or Kamba language) and choral verse speaking are staged, both for junior and senior youth. The Class entries remain the same as in Music festivals.
Apart from these physical programmes, the youth have other programmes that focus on behavioral change; Income generating; vocational discerning; Liturgical participation/ Music; recreational activities such as ball games; Drama; Exposure (within and without the diocese); Leadership skills; spiritual formation (Retreats/ recollections/ catechesis) etc. These are the activities that are held through workshops, rallies and recollections, Youth Masses, exposure visits, evaluation meetings et cetera.

Q: How can I read a crash file from /var/crash php-fpm crashed on us and dumped a file in
/var/crash/_usr_sbin_php5-fpm.1002.crash

There is some info in that file but what I'm after is in the section called CoreDump in a base64 encoded format. How can I read what was running at the time of the crash?

A: In case if you don't want to install a bunch of sub-dependencies for apport-retrace tool, you can unpack apport format into separate files and to use only CoreDump dump with gdb as usual.

*

*apport-unpack systemGeneratedCrashReportPath.crash yourNewUnpackDirectoryHere

*cd yourNewUnpackDirectoryHere/

*gdb `cat ExecutablePath` CoreDump (pay attention to backticks here!)

*bt (output actual back-trace)
Note: apport-unpack will sometimes crash itself on unpack operation (apport seems broken all around... xD), but your CoreDump and other files will be there, just ignore it and delete all .crash files in /var/crash after you move them elsewhere in order to allow system to output new crash reports from same apps there.

A: There is a tool called apport-retrace that reads the .crash files and allows you to either fill it with a fully-symbolic stack trace or run a gdb session using the core dump. To start a gdb session, run apport-retrace -g CRASHFILE.crash. Note that you need to have the -dbg packages installed to get a good stack trace.
That being said (I'm not an expert on PHP), it might actually be something that you wrote in one of your files that is causing the crash.
