Tinubu the godfather, is the end near?
Tinubu the godfather, is the…
By Abdul Jelil Adebayo, Abuja, Akure, Folorunso Ojo, Ibadan, Lagos Bureau Chief, Muyiwa olaleye, Osogbo and Sunny Adeloye, Richard Akintade
Politicians across political divides in the South-West are unanimous that the supposed stronghold by the All Progressives Congress, APC and its leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the political zone is rapidly coming to an end.
In separate interviews with Nigerian Pilot Saturday, the politicians said the people of South-West are tired and are ready to free themselves from the tyrannical hold by the Lion of Bourdillon, Asiwaju Tinubu, who many accused of running not only the party but the affairs of the region from his house in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Many of them attributed the loss of recently conducted election in Ekiti state to Bola Tinubu, who felt he has the unique rights to pick whoever must rule in the APC-controlled state.
A few politicians said Tinubu allowed what makes influences die quick by indulging in selfish traits using his power and position to promote personal family interest, neglecting members of a team that brought him into power thereby trying to build a personal empire rather than a party empire.
Many believe that his undying quest for power and his desire to rule Nigeria at all cost has driven him to the brink of a precipice. Others also submitted that the heavy loss recorded by the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the last Governorship election in Ekiti state has thrown the 'progressive' camp in disarray.
The victory of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over APC in Ekiti was so convincing that even the incumbent Governor had no option but to congratulate the PDP candidate in the election, Ayodele Fayose.
One strange question that is in the front burner of every political analyst is whether what happened in Ekiti state is an indication that the former Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lost its grip.
Mr. John Dara, Presidential candidate Transformation Party of Nigeria, TPN, said that the Ekiti election was a sign of direction for the South West.
"I believe that Tinubu will go down in history as a man who made tremendous impact in our politics in1999 but who could not sustain it for too long," he said.
According to Engr Ayodeji Doherty, the Organising Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, South West, Tinubu's fall in South West "is not new to me. Let me tell you, the PDP will take over all the South West states, even the forthcoming Osun governorship election will be won by PDP. Not only will that be, Jonathan will win the general election come 2015. We all knew how Tinubu betrayed those people that lifted him up; it is now his turn to face his own downfall."
Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, attributed the loss of Ekiti to Tinubu. In his words, "Tinubu, who many refer to as the 'Lion of Boudillon' is a dictator, who from his Boudillon sitting room has over the past few years been dictating what happens in the South-West. The South-West is simply tired of the mayhem the Lion has imposed on them. Their actions in the Ekiti state governorship election was their own way of chasing him away from his throne."
"There is also the issue of who becomes the next governor of Lagos State as keen followers of Lagos politics are afraid that Lagos might go the way of Ekiti if Tinubu fails to do the right thing. They are saying that except he handles the issue of who emerges the candidate of the APC right, the state may fall into PDP hands. It may also be the end of his reign as the godfather of Lagos politics," said a source.
Dr. Sowunmi, the former Director General of Goodluck/Sambo campaign in Ogun state believes that we are witnessing the gradual demise of a very important figure in the politics of the South West Nigeria.
According to him, "there is no doubt as to the fact that Tinubu has for the past couple of years played a role in the political struggle for the South West. He fought against the power that be and refused to be defeated. Unfortunately, he made the mistake of failing to leave when the ovation was loudest and that is the greatest mistake heroes make and immediately become villains."
Chief Dan Iwanyanwu, Chairman of Labour Party revealed that Tinubu's sins are as much as his good deeds. He believes that his media politics has been his greatest undoing.
He said; "Politics is not practised on the pages of Newspapers or on television stations. The victory of PDP in Ekiti state has given a new dimension to Nigerian politics. Politics today is all about the grassroots and this is in direct contrast to the kind of politics the man in Boudillon plays. How else do you describe a man, whose wife and son-in-law are federal legislators and whose young daughter is the Iyaloja of Lagos? How can you call a man, who sits in his Boudillon mansion in Ikoyi and from there governs the entire South West. This is why I believe that what happened in Ekiti is just a signal that the Tinubuism era has finished."
The immediate past governor of Oyo State, Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao Akala, has said that he believe that Nigerians should not be surprised that the political dynasty of former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is crumbling in the South West.
Otunba Akala said the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN now APC won the election in all the states of the South West through fraudulent court judgements in 2011.
According to him; "Asiwaju installed his surrogates as governors in South West by purchasing judgement for them and in Yoruba adage' 'a house built with saliva shall be demolished by dews' '(Ile taa fi ito month irin ni now). So they came to power through falsehood and deception and that is why today they are crumbling like a pack of cards.
"By the special Grace of God, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP will reclaim all the states in the South West from the All Progressives Congress, APC in 2015 general elections. See what is happening in Oyo State, Governor Abiola Ajimobi has ruined many peoples' lives through his beatification programme, he demolished many shops and sent the traders out of their shops and businesses without providing alternatives for them. The same is happening in all south west states. We shall salvage the situation by 2015," he added.
Akala noted that the era during which Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu turned himself to the District Officer, D.O, of the S/West has gone for good adding that the PDP will definitely repeat what happened in Ekiti State last week Saturday in all the S/West states next year.
Speaking on behalf of the Ondo state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ,the state Director of the Party, Mr Ayo Fadaka said that the much touted Tinubu political empire of the South West is a fraudulent contraption that certainly will crumbed since it is weak
"The PDP remains a potent force in the South West in-spite of the recession it suffered in 2011 elections and success of the then ACN does not in any manner confer the tag Emperor on Tinubu .The people of the South West are just too enlightened to be led by the nose by just anyone," he boasted.
The Acting Chairman of the Labour Party in Ondo State, Mr. Dele Akinyele described Senator Bola Tinubu as a focus less leader, who does not even have a dynasty in the South West in the first instance not talk of having a crumbling one.
According to him, "Senator Bola Tinubu does not have the quality of a person that has a dynasty because whoever that wants to have a dynasty and want to lead the Yoruba people must be plain in all things. Yoruba is different from any other tribe nobody can bamboozle us in the South West with any fake political gimmick."
In his own opinion, Hon.Barr.Yemi A.P.Adetoyinbo , a legal practitioner and politician said that with the APC performance at the just concluded election in Ekiti, where the candidate of the Party Kayode Fayemi, who seems to be an intellectual guru and amiable politician, who also seems to have performed slightly above board, but for him to have been defeated with a very wide margin by a former Governor, who left office eight years ago is unprecedented in world electoral history.
"To have recorded massive votes in all the major towns especially the state capital which is the seat of power was commendable," he said.
"Tinubu must shelve his personal aspirations, pronounced or hidden. He should democratically, conscientiously allow the party members to choose whosoever they think fit. The country needs someone, who has demonstrated skilfulness in leadership, capable of taking full responsibilities in managing the affairs of Nigeria with all its teething challenges. The country needs someone, who is not religiously biased; who is ethnically blind; who sees Nigerians as a body of the same family that wants something progressively good for the country," he stated.
In his own submission, the Director of Media of the Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in Ondo state, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade Campaign Organisation, Mr. Kayode Oladeji said, Tinubu was political merchant, who is using politics as a source of investment to empower its cronies and families.
Similarly, the PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Prince Bola Ajao said the crumbling of Tinubu dynasty in the southwest was not coming as a surprise, submitting that Tinubu had not built any dynasty but that what he had done was political exploitation.
Ajao said further that it was unfortunate that there was nothing endearing in the engagement of Tinubu and his cohorts in the political dynamics of the southwest.
"They came like a flash in the pan and fizzle out in less than no time.
APC is not a solid development in the annals of the southwest.
tinubuThey are being chased away from the southwest, first in Ondo and Ekiti and they would be surprised that during August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun, they would still fail," he added.
Meanwhile, efforts to elicit reactions by our Correspondent from Chieftains of APC in the state proved abortive as none of them was ready to speak on the recent development over the seeming collapse of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu's dynasty.
Asiwaju, who many call the Governor-General of the South West did not mince words when he said, the party having achieved its initial target of conducting a successful national convention, has its eyes set on the Abuja seat of power. However, many believe that he was so concentrated on 2015 that he did not see what happened in Ekiti coming.
But Barr Morakinyo Ogele a human right activist in Akure was different in his own opinion about the seeming crumbling dynasty of Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu in the South West.
''To me I will not agree that the empire of Tinubu in the south west is crumbling, although Ondo has been taken over by Labour party and Ekiti by the PDP. All the same, we still have elections in Osun, Oyo, and Ogun States, it is when the results of those three state are out that one can agree that the dynasty is crumbling if the result doesn't favour his party,'' he said.
He recalled that the APC in South West still have majority members in the House of Representative and the Senate.

Q: LiipImaginebundle with a controller that renders the image I want to render an image trough a custom controller.  (Because I want to check if someone can view the image)
With LiipimagineBundle I can only assign a path directly to the images.
I put the uploads dir out of my root directory already.
Using the filter over my generated url (that renders the image perfectly when not using the imagine_filter) will not work because I can only assign the image name to the filter.
How can I solve this. Do I need to write my own Cacheresolver? Or are there any better ways solving this?

A: Thanks Qoop for sending me in the right direction.
I skipped that part in the documentation because I thought I had to do it trough the twig function.
But indeed that is the way.

Ridesharing company Lyft announced Monday that it generated millions into Philadelphia's economy in the past year, despite only recently becoming legal after a long face-off with the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
In its 2017 economic report conducted by real estate developer Land Econ Group, Lyft claimed that it brought the City of Brotherly Love $38.6 million in "new spending" while increasing spending at local businesses by 42 percent.
It also said that riders saved a million hours in traveling, good for $23.2 million of their time.
"Lyft is proud to be providing flexible economic opportunities for drivers, improving transportation access for passengers, and increasing economic activity in Philly," said Andrew Woolf, Lyft's Philadelphia General Manager in a statement.
The study also said that 78 percent of the Philadelphia riders were coming to or from restaurants, shows or other forms of entertainment, while 41 percent used Lyft to commute to and from work, with 38 percent using the rideshare company to visit family or friends.
Lyft, which launched in the city in January 2015, also helped Philadelphians get home safely, according to the study. Eighty-one percent said they were more likely to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol by using Lyft.
In the survey conducted with drivers and passengers, 51 percent said they use their own cars less.
While ridesharing companies fought for legalization in cities and states across the country, the PPA made Philadelphia's battle particularly difficult by refusing to recognize and regulate them the way they did taxi cabs.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed a bill legalizing ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft in early November.

Global PEFs strengthening ties with Korean banks

Carlyle, KB partnership follows after KKR, Shinhan ties
By Park Jae-hyuk
World-class private equity firms (PEFs) have begun forming stronger partnerships with banking groups here, showing an optimistic outlook for the domestic financial market's growth potential and stability, according to industry officials, Tuesday.
On June 18, the Carlyle Group announced it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KB Financial Group for a strategic alliance.
Through this alliance, they will draw on the respective strengths of their domestic and global networks to collaborate on new investment opportunities both in Korea and overseas.
While KB will work with Carlyle on the structuring and financing of the PEF's investments in Korea, Carlyle will use its Carlyle Asia Partners V buyout fund to invest 240 billion won ($200 million) in an exchangeable bond utilizing KB's treasury shares.
Among the 240 billion won it received from Carlyle, KB is expected to pay 210 billion won for the acquisition of Prudential Life Insurance Company of Korea.
"This strategic alliance will enable us to accelerate our global growth through close cooperation with Carlyle in discovering new investment opportunities, both in Korea and abroad," KB Financial Group Chairman Yoon Jong-kyoo said. "Equally, we believe that the strength of our domestic network will help Carlyle as it seeks to invest more into the Korean market."
Carlyle Asia Partners advisory team managing director John Kim said: "KB's leading position in Korea was a key factor in signing the MOU, as was the group's stable growth, strength of management, and deep credibility.
"The group has also demonstrated excellent risk management capabilities in the face of the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19. We look forward to starting this close partnership as we seek to build our presence in Korea."
This was the first deal Kim had signed since his appointment as the Carlyle Asia Partners advisory team managing director in October 2019.
When he moved to Carlyle from Goldman Sachs, the PEF vowed to continue to increase its investment in Korea, saying it saw compelling opportunities, driven by restructuring within the corporate sector, multinationals and chaebol looking to divest non-core businesses, and generational changes.
Analysts attributed the recent agreement to the undervaluation of Korean banks.
"The exchangeable bond was issued in favor of the issuer, so it means the global PEF values KB," Cape Investment & Securities analyst Kim Do-ha said. "The recent deal showed Korean banks have been severely undervalued."

KKR, which is regarded as one of the three biggest PEFs in the world along with Carlyle and Blackstone, has essentially benefited from its partnership with a Korean banking group.
After signing an MOU with Shinhan Financial Group in September 2018 for global alternative investments, it attracted 200 billion won from the nation's leading banking group for a fund which was raised for investments in KKR's various assets worldwide.

Q: How can I delete contents of a folder but keep the folder? I have seen several questions here, but all of them seem to delete the folder as well.
How can I delete only the contents of a particular folder, but keep the folder itself.
Preferably for two conditions:

*

*Contents

*Deletes recursively under all all subfolders. But keeps the main folder.

A: import os
def functToDeleteItems(fullPathToDir):
   for itemsInDir in os.listdir(fullPathToDir):
        if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(fullPathToDir, itemsInDir)):
            functToDeleteItems(os.path.isdir(os.path.join(fullPathToDir, itemsInDir)))
        else:
            os.remove(os.path.join(fullPathToDir,itemsInDir))

Here function "functToDeleteItems" will take one argument that is "fullPathToDir" which will contain full path of the folder whose content you wan to delete. It will recursively call itself it if find any folder inside it and if found any file then delete it.

Fifth Sea Base
January 31, 2017 Dmitry Shulgin
On Wednesday, January 25, General Dynamics NASSCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, began construction on a fifth ship for the U.S. Navy's Expeditionary Transfer Dock (ESD)/Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB) program.
The ceremony's honoree, Jackie Ruiz, gives her sign of approval after inspecting the first cut of steel for the ESB-5 as her son watches in the background. Jackie is the wife of Bryan Ruiz, NASSCO's Director of Planning, and is also a former NASSCO employee
Designed to provide advanced flexibility and capability for sea-to-shore missions, the newest ESB will include a 52,000 square-foot/4,831 m2 flight deck, fuel and equipment storage, repair spaces, magazines, mission planning spaces and accommodations for up to 250 personnel. Serving as a «pier at sea», the 784-foot-long/239-meter-long ship is also designed to support MH-53 and MH-60 helicopters and MV-22 tilt rotor aircraft.
The ship, ESB-5, is the fifth to be added to a contract between NASSCO and the U.S. Navy that originally called for two Expeditionary Transfer Docks: USNS Montford Point (T-ESD-1) and USNS John Glenn (T-ESD-2).
The first two ships, formerly classified as Mobile Landing Platforms (MLPs), were designed and constructed by NASSCO to support vehicle staging and transfers, and the movement of LCAC vessels. In 2012, a third ship, USNS Lewis B. Puller (T-ESB-3), was added to the contract and reconfigured as an ESB, formerly known as a MLP Afloat Forward Staging Base, to support a wide range of military operations. All three ships have been delivered to the U.S. Navy, and in October 2015, NASSCO began construction on ESB-4, USNS Hershel «Woody» Williams.
NASSCO is the largest shipyard on the west coast of the United States conducting design, construction and repair of ships. In the past decade, NASSCO delivered more than 30 ocean-going ships to government and commercial customers, including the world's first LNG-powered containerships and several other lead ships.

The start of fabrication
Huntington Ingalls Industries' (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division officially started fabrication of the Arleigh Burke-class (DDG-51) destroyer USS Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG-123) on Wednesday, January 26, 2017. The start of fabrication signifies that the first 100 tons of steel have been cut.

«Starting fabrication on another destroyer is a great way to start the year», Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias said. «Ingalls has delivered 29 of these ships to the U.S. Navy, and our hot production line continues to improve the construction process. The ships are tremendous assets to our country's fleet, and we look forward to delivering another quality destroyer to the Navy».
The ship is named in honor of Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee, the first woman to receive the Navy Cross. Higbee joined the U.S. Navy in October 1908 as part of the newly established Navy Nurse Corps, a group of women who would become known as «The Sacred Twenty», and became the second superintendent of the Navy Nurse Corps in January 1911.
USS Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG-123) is the fourth of five Arleigh Burke-class destroyers HII was awarded in June 2013. The five-ship contract, part of a multi-year procurement in the DDG-51 program, allows Ingalls to build ships more efficiently by buying bulk material and moving the skilled workforce from ship to ship.
With the start of Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee, Ingalls has five destroyers under construction. USS Ralph Johnson (DDG-114) will undergo sea trials later this year and is scheduled to be delivered by the end of the year. USS Paul Ignatius (DDG-117) will be christened on April 8. USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119) will launch later this year, and USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG-121) will lay its keel in the first quarter of this year.

Acceptance testing
Raytheon completed factory acceptance testing of the flight operations system for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). With seven times the light-collecting power of its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, this next-generation telescope will gather data and images of dust clouds, stars and galaxies deeper into space.
The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) will be a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror
Over 800 requirements were successfully verified on the JWST ground control system during the testing conducted at Raytheon's Aurora, Colorado, facility, bringing NASA's next space observatory one step closer to the scheduled 2018 launch.
«The JWST flight operations system is our latest generation of mission management and command and control capabilities for satellite operations», said Matt Gilligan, vice president of Raytheon Navigation and Environmental Solutions. «Our ground control system will download data from space and fly the telescope as it penetrates through cosmic dust to unlock the universe's secrets like never before».
JWST takes observations in the infrared spectrum to penetrate cosmic dust to reveal the universe's first galaxies, while observing newly forming planetary systems. JWST is expected to make observations for five years, will carry enough fuel for 10 years, and is designed to withstand impacts of space debris as it orbits far beyond the Earth's Moon.
Raytheon installed the ground control system for JWST on the campus of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, under contract to the Space Telescope Science Institute.

Orion programme
Mid-January 2017 Airbus Defence and Space delivered to NASA a propulsion test module for the Orion programme. The Propulsion Qualification Test Model (PQM) will be used to check that the Orion European Service Module (ESM) spacecraft's propulsion subsystem functions correctly.
Airbus Defence and Space delivers propulsion test module for the Orion programme to NASA
On behalf of the European Space Agency, Airbus Defence and Space is prime contractor for the ESM, a key element of NASA's next generation Orion spacecraft.
Although the PQM will never see space, this is an important step in the development of the Orion programme. Complex systems for human spaceflight must first be tested and qualified on Earth before being used as flight hardware in space. The engineers want to determine how the system behaves in different environments, to ensure that it functions properly.
The test module is travelling via Bremerhaven and Houston/USA to its final destination at NASA's White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) near Las Cruces in New Mexico/USA. Arrival is expected mid-February. The tests will take place later in the year at WSTF for the qualification of Orion ESM's propulsion subsystem.

Superlift to Kennedy
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) announced today that its Newport News Shipbuilding division lifted a 704-metric ton unit into Dry Dock 12, where the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) is taking shape. The superlift is part of an improved build strategy implemented on the second ship of the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class, resulting in superlifts erected at a higher state of outfitting completion.

«For Kennedy, increased pre-outfitting puts into practice one of many lessons learned from Gerald R. Ford», said Mike Shawcross, Newport News' vice president, CVN-79 construction. «This superlift will erect the first portion of hangar bay».
The unit, which has been under construction since August 2015, is made up of 22 smaller units and comprises small equipment and machinery rooms, berthing, and other quality-of-life spaces, such as the barber shop and post office. It measures about 80 feet/24.4 m long and 105 feet/32 m wide. Like Ford, Kennedy is being built using modular construction, a process where smaller sections of the ship are welded together to form large structural units, equipment is installed, and the large units are lifted into the dry dock using the shipyard's 1,050-metric ton gantry crane.
Kennedy is about 25 percent complete. The carrier is on track to be completed with 445 lifts, which is 51 fewer than Ford and 149 less than USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), the last Nimitz-class carrier. About 140 lifts have been placed in the dock and joined together since the ship's keel was laid in August 2015. Kennedy is scheduled to be launched in 2020 and deliver to the Navy in 2022, when it will replace USS Nimitz (CVN-68).

Deploying to Europe
A fleet of 20 AH-64 Apache aircraft from the 1st Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, 1st Armored Division in Fort Bliss, Texas landed at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) last week to prepare for their February deployment to Europe.

The 1-501st, also known as the Iron Dragon Battalion, will deploy this February for a nine-month rotation in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. «We're moving aircraft to Corpus Christi to put them on a ship to deploy to Europe», said Lieutenant Colonel Chris Crotzer, 1-501st commander.
«Supporting units like this sends a clear message to the rest of the Army that CCAD is willing to aid whenever we can to support the Warfighter and the overall mission», said Major Nathan Patrick, the depot commander's executive officer.
Major Patrick handles military-aviation-related matters at the Depot, including coordination with other military entities. He worked out the details of the 1-501st arrival and parking plan along the sea wall, even including a maintenance bay for their use, to ensure the 1-501st a smooth and effortless transition to the Port of Corpus Christi.
Though CCAD was ready and set to assist the deployment, this depot is not a normal pit stop for active battalions. Through the Army Working Capital Fund, CCAD operates as an industrial facility specializing in helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul under the US Aviation and Missile Command. The Depot is renowned for its helicopter reset and modernization capabilities, prolonging the life-cycle of some of Army's most-trusted rotary wing aircraft.
«It will take several days to load the aircraft on the ship across town at the Port of Corpus Christi», said CW3 David Staruch, of the 1-501st. «We can only load a few Apaches at a time and have to remove the rotor blades and prep them for travel. There's no heliport. It's just a big massive ship».
The original plan was for the 1-501st to ferry aircraft to the Port of Corpus Christi over the course of three days. The Port of Corpus Christi is one of the few ports in the Gulf of Mexico that can sustain a boat large enough to carry 20 helicopters safely across the Atlantic.
As luck, would have it, high winds delayed the 1-501st move to the Port by a day, but it did little to slow down the Iron Dragon Battalion. Even with the loss of a day, the 1-501st was able to load all aircraft within the original three-day timeframe.
Through the cooperative efforts of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Chief of Naval Air Training and CCAD, the 1-501st and their helicopters safely assembled at CCAD and continued to the port safely, demonstrating the synergy it takes to put global readiness and regional responsiveness in action.
«It's real easy working with the folks at CCAD. And the Navy and flight test folks have been fantastic. They've been helping us every day», said Lieutenant Colonel Crotzer.
According to Fort Bliss's January tenth press release, approximately 400 Soldiers and 24 AH-64 Apache helicopters from the 1-501st will augment the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, out of Fort Drum, New York, which is the first aviation brigade to support OAR under the Regionally Aligned Force concept.
These Soldiers will support aviation operations throughout Europe to improve interoperability and strengthen relationships with Allies and partner nations. «We'll get great training with the forces and get them comfortable working with us», said Lieutenant Colonel Crotzer.
The AH-64 Apache is the Army's attack aviation asset used for close combat attack. «We train with the Apache all the time and with our ground units to gain proficiency», said Staruch. «We feel ready for the task at hand».
The battalion trained hard for the past year at the National Training Center and through other standard exercises. «Now we are going to Europe to train with the Allied Nations to do the same with them», he said.
This training deployment will not only enhance US and European relations, it will add readiness to the US Army aviation's attack reconnaissance battalion.
The Attack Reconnaissance Battalion self-deploys to any contingency area to conduct operations. On order, it will conduct military operations that will engage and destroy an enemy or peacefully perform missions that ensure regional stability in the area of operations.
The nine-month deployment to Europe is a first for this battalion who are relying on this training to gain the familiarity with some of the field conditions they may face when they are called to support their next mission.
«We exist to support the Warfighter», Staruch said of the battalion. They provide cover for ground combatants – the guys on the ground – to achieve their mission.
«We're looking forward to this exceptional opportunity to work with US Army Europe, our Allies and partners», said Lieutenant Colonel Crotzer.

Dark Energy Hunter
Lockheed Martin is helping NASA begin the hunt for dark energy, a mysterious force powering the universe's accelerating expansion. An instrument assembly the company is developing, if selected by NASA for production, will be the core of the primary scientific instrument aboard the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), whose mission aims to uncover hundreds of millions more galaxies and reveal the physics that shapes them.

Scientists and engineers recently began work developing the Wide-Field Optical-Mechanical Assembly (WOMA) for WFIRST, NASA's newest astrophysics telescope program. WOMA comprises the major portion of scientific components on one of two instruments on the telescope. NASA chose Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Palo Alto to advance from an earlier study into the formulation phase. WOMA uses similar approaches to the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which the ATC built as the primary optical instrument for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
«Lockheed Martin scientists achieved groundbreaking results with NIRCam's precision and sensitivity», said Jeff Vanden Beukel, WOMA program manager at Lockheed Martin. «There's no time to lose as we support a fast-paced schedule, and our experience with NIRCam's precision optics positions our WOMA design to be capable, producible and on budget».
Scientists and engineers are collaborating to design optical systems, mechanisms, structure, electronics and thermal control components. Similar to NIRCam, the Wide-Field Instrument on WFIRST will be a powerful optical payload. However, WFIRST will have a massive focal plane array, 200 times larger than NIRCam, to capture what some liken to panoramic images of the star field.
In addition to dark energy research, WOMA will also use microlensing to complete the census of known exoplanets. Microlensing takes advantage of brief distortions in space to reveal new planets around distant stars, and WFIRST's wide field of view will allow scientists to monitor 200 million stars every 15 minutes for more than a year. When NASA launches WFIRST, it will work in concert with other observatories to jointly research new places and forces in our universe.
NASA plans to select a winning design next year for production, and WFIRST is expected to launch in the mid-2020s.

Counter-drone system
The AUDS counter-UAS defence system – field proven to detect, track and defeat malicious and errant Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or drones – is the first fully integrated system worldwide to achieve Technology Readiness Level-9 (TRL-9) status. This follows the successful mission deployment of the Anti-UAV Defence Systems (AUDS) system with United States Forces.
AUDS Counter-drone System First to Achieve TRL-9 Status Following Successful Deployment with U.S. Forces
TRL-9 is the very highest technology readiness level or maturity that a technology system can attain. According to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and NASA definitions, TRL-9 signifies that a technology system or product is in its final form and that the actual system is proven through successful mission operations.
Mark Radford, speaking for the AUDS team, said: «Achieving TRL-9 status is an important milestone for AUDS in the embryonic counter-drone market. The sale and deployment of multiple AUDS systems to the U.S. military to protect critical assets and personnel makes AUDS, we believe, the only TRL-9 rated fully integrated strategic counter-UAS system on the market».
Over the last 18 months, the AUDS system has been heavily evaluated and tested by military and government organizations. Through this process, AUDS consistently exceeded the mission requirements, simultaneously providing ground and air surveillance against possible threats.
The AUDS system – developed by Blighter Surveillance Systems, Chess Dynamics and Enterprise Control Systems – can detect a drone six miles (10 km) away using electronic scanning radar, track it using precision infrared and daylight cameras and advanced video tracking software before disrupting the flight using a non-kinetic inhibitor to block the radio signals that control it.
This detect, track, defeat process is very quick and typically takes 8-15 secs. Using AUDS, the operator can effectively take control of a drone and force a safe landing. The AUDS system works in all weather, day or night and the disruption is flexible, proportional and operator controlled.
AUDS is positioned at the strategic end of the UAS countermeasures market for use by government agencies, the police and military to protect high value critical national infrastructure or strategically important sites/events. These include nuclear power stations, borders, political, sporting or VIP events, airports and airbases.
AUDS is also currently being evaluated by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use at major U.S. airports as part of its Pathfinder Programme. The FAA has signed a Co-operative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA) with Liteye Systems, the AUDS team's manufacturing and integration partner in North America, to test AUDS at US airports selected by the FAA.
To further consolidate its market leading position, the AUDS team has developed a range of new platforms – fixed, semi-permanent and temporary – to better meet the needs of customers in different markets. These include a platform for the deployment of AUDS to the roof of a building; a field mast system for the protection of semi-permanent sites such as Forward Operating Bases (FOB), air bases or army camps; and a system for rapid deployment purposes.
AUDS will be showcasing its counter-UAS solutions at The International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2017), at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 19 to 23 February 2017. AUDS will be represented at IDEX by its local UAE partner Trust International in Hall 11/Stand C05.

Hoverbike prototype
The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and industry partners demonstrated the flying capabilities of a unique rectangular-shaped quadcopter during a visit from Department of Defense (DoD) officials January 10. Doctor William Roper, director of the Strategic Capabilities Office at the Office of the Secretary of Defense and members of his staff visited the Aberdeen Proving Ground laboratory to see the Joint Tactical Aerial Resupply Vehicle, or JTARV.

Also known as the «hoverbike», the vehicle may one day make it possible for Soldiers on the battlefield to order resupply and then receive those supplies rapidly.
During the visit, Roper told laboratory officials that he is concerned about adapting future technology advances. He said he wants to figure out how to get people to «see something that's coming on the shelf, immediately identify the use, determine if it's good enough for rock and roll, get it into the field, but in a way that allows us to keep one-upping it».
Researchers envision a future JTARV flying low to the ground or at thousands of feet at speeds of 60 miles per hour/96 kilometers per hour or more. «Anywhere on the battlefield, Soldiers can potentially get resupplied in less than 30 minutes», said Tim Vong, associate chief of ARL's Protection Division. He likened the concept to «Amazon on the battlefield». «We want to have options like that», Vong said.
While the current prototype is electric, researchers are looking at a hybrid propulsion system that could dramatically increase range. «We're exploring increasing payload capacity to 800 pounds/363 kg and extending the range up to 125 miles/201 km», Vong said. «We're also looking to integrate advanced intelligent navigation and mission planning. We're looking to end up with a modular, stable platform that can be used for even more dynamic and challenging missions».
The laboratory began exploring the JTARV concept in the summer of 2014. They identified a manufacturer, Malloy Aeronautics, and a systems integrator, SURVICE, entered into a contract and moved quickly from concept to full-scale prototypes.
The JTARV is now a joint effort with the Marine Corps, led by Army researchers, at the Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey; however, the ARL researchers still serve as subject matter experts on aeromechanics, assessment, analysis, propulsion, intelligence and controls and materials and structures.
«The project is successful because we went from concept development to engineering evaluation in collaboration with all various government agencies and industry», explained Ernesto Garcia Lopez, ARDEC. «The demo we saw was a unique opportunity for us to show a seamless transition between one Army organization and another Army organization and having the industry along the whole time», he said.
In addition to other industry, government and academic partners, the JTARV project is teaming with the Office of Naval Research. «Researchers hope to demonstrate full autonomy in the near future», Vong said.
«I think the visit was a great success», Vong said. «It gave us an opportunity to showcase to Dr. Roper ideas and also the progress we've been making in exploiting commercial UAS technologies».
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), which has the mission to provide innovative research, development and engineering to produce capabilities that provide decisive overmatch to the Army against the complexities of the current and future operating environments in support of the joint warfighter and the nation. RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.

Drugged parents found asleep with baby in car
Unforgettable images of a drug epidemic have been surfacing for months, and Southwest Florida is seeing the stories: Parents passed out behind the wheel with their children in the car.
Monday, November 28th 2016, 5:17 PM EST
Monday, November 28th 2016, 11:17 PM EST
The latest is of a nine-month-old found in the back of a running car while his parents were passed out on drugs in a Circle K parking in North Fort Myers.
At the wheel was Howard Acree. He was fast asleep as deputies approached. In the backseat was Michelle McGuire, who was holding the sleeping baby in her arms. His diaper was full and hadn't been changed in a long time.
They told deputies they had both taken anxiety medication that belongs to McGuire.
"It's a shame. Unfortunately, people don't have to be tested in order to have kids," said Pam Stuckert.
This is the 16th time Acree has been arrested in Lee County dating back to 2005. It's McGuire's first arrest in Lee.
"A lot of people aren't qualified to raise kids, so that's sad," Stuckert said.
Deputies asked the parents to call a sober friend or family member to pick up their son. After 25 minutes and a few unanswered phone calls, the couple looked at each other and said, "Who are we gonna call? I have no one but you."
Deputies then called the Department of Children and Families. A spokeswoman confirmed it is investigating the couple.
"I think more people need to go to church," Stuckert said.
The parents were arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
"When you have little kids, you have to watch out what you're doing and be a parent," said Bogusia Wilczek.
McQuire was released from jail on Saturday. Acree, who was also charged with driving with a suspended license, is still in custody.

Safe decarceration now!
Lidia Thorpe 9 Sep 2021
"What do the NSW government want? More deaths in custody? Why aren't they applying safe decarceration strategies for non-violent offenders?" Said Greens Justice and First Nations spokesperson: DjabWurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjmara Senator for Victoria Lidia Thorpe.
"NATSILS and other justice advocates called for this over 12 months ago. We knew this was a risk then and now we're at a crisis point.
A Human Rights Commissioner should care about human rights
Lorraine Finlay had been appointed as the nation's new Human Rights Commissioner. Formerly an upper house candidate for the West Australian Liberals and president of the state's Liberal women's council, Finlay was appointed to the role without it being advertised.
This could affect the Australian Human Rights Council's "A status" with the United Nations.
Comment from Senator Lidia Thorpe, The Greens Justice and First Nations Spokesperson
More Police Powers, Less Protections
Lidia Thorpe 27 Aug 2021
The Labor and Liberal parties have voted to pass the Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Bill 2020 which makes three new warrants available to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC).
Network activity warrants allow the AFP or ACIC to monitor online activity, without investigating or accusing a person of a crime. Account takeover warrants enable police to take over an account and change their data, which could then be used as evidence in a criminal proceeding.
Labor agrees to spend $50 million destroying Traditional Owners home
"Traditional Owners of the Gundanji and Garawa nation do not consent to fracking in the Beetaloo basin, but the government has put $50 million towards doing it anyway," said DjabWurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjmara woman Lidia Thorpe, the Greens Senator for Victoria.
"These are communities that don't even have access to proper health and housing infrastructure. As a government, it's our job to provide this and instead of doing that we're paying private companies to poison their waters and destroy their lands.
The New South Wales Department of Justice is Failing First Nations Communities, say Greens
This week, an imprisoned First Nations man was tested for COVID-19 at Bathurst Correctional Centre and was released before the prison received his positive Covid result.
The man then returned to his community in north-west New South Wales which has a high population of First Nations people.
The Greens label ADF deployment to Western Sydney as absurd
Lidia Thorpe 2 Aug 2021
"Mobilising the police and Australian Defence Force to treat a public health crisis is absurd," said The Greens spokesperson for Justice and First Nations Senator Lidia Thorpe, as the ADF begins their deployment to Western Sydney.
"Officers of the law are not experts in public health messaging, culturally accessible information and welfare support services that enable people to stay at home safely," said Thorpe. Western Sydney has a significant First Nations and multicultural community.
Government inaction leads to Aboriginal people dying from preventable deaths
Lidia Thorpe 20 Jul 2021
"Aboriginal people are dying from preventable deaths in police custody because the Morrison government is continuing Liberal and Labors' legacies of inaction," said Senator Lidia Thorpe, a Gunnai and Gunditjmara woman who is the Australian Greens' First Nations and Justice spokesperson.
"It's been 30 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the Morrison government has failed to show leadership and implement all 339 recommendations. What's the point of a Commission if you ignore its findings?"
Our veterans deserve better: Greens
Jordon Steele-John 19 Apr 2021
Today's announcement of a Royal Commission into Veteran and Serving Defence Personnel Suicides is not only a huge win for the community, who have been calling for greater support and for government to address the mental health crisis that is facing our veterans, but also a relief to the families who have been searching for answers.
ADF top brass must resign over SAS revelations
Further sickening revelations about the existence of an illegal drinking establishment at Tarinkot base in Afghanistan, and the involvement of senior commanding officers at that establishment, are yet more evidence of the culture that General's Campbell and Burr are not fit to implement the recommendations of the Brereton Inquiry report.
Four deaths in a fortnight - Blak deaths in custody a national crisis: Greens
The Greens have again called on the Government to act urgently to end Blak deaths in custody, following reports today of yet another death of a First Nations man in custody - the fourth in the past fortnight.
The Aboriginal Legal Service of NSW and ACT today reports that Barkindji man Anzac Sullivan, 37, died during a police pursuit in Broken Hill on Thursday 18 March.

Q: What is CPU Request Commitment and Memory Request Commitment
Can't find a good article on Google that explains this well or at all so turning to the dev community to help me understand.
My guess is that if CPU Request Commitment/Memory Request Commitment says it's over 100% then it means the total resources.requests.cpu/resources.requests.memory in all of my yaml files exceeds the total available CPU/Memory on my node. Is that a correct assumption?
I'm talking about these settings in my yaml files:
            resources:
              requests:
                cpu: <Your value>
                memory: <Your value>

A: From: https://www.metricfire.com/blog/tips-for-monitoring-kubernetes-applications/:

CPU request commitment is the ratio of CPU requests for all pods running on a node to the total CPU available on that node. In the same way, memory commitment is the ratio of pod memory requests to the total memory capacity of that node. We can also calculate cluster level request commitment by comparing CPU/memory requests on a cluster level to total cluster capacity.

A: here is a good video that explains how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjpHggHKm78&feature=emb_title
basically, when a pod request 1 CPU, kubernetes will guarantee that the pod will get 1 CPU, but when the pod want to use more than 1 CPU, kubernetes will give it if it is available, in this case, you will see more than 100% of CPU usage (100% from the CPU allocated to the pod, not in the node)

1 Who is Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse?
2 How did she get started in fashion?
3 Why does this blogger love her style?
4 What are some of her most notable designs?
5 Where can you buy her styling advice?
Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse is a French fashion designer who pushes the boundaries of style by using what she calls "the new glamour" in her creations. Her ongoing body of work has been recognized by such prestigious organizations as the International Center of Photography and Fashion Film Festival, as well as the American Association of Museums (AAM).
Courbebaisse's pieces are beautiful because they incorporate beauty within the hearts of those who wear them. She is a leader in pushing fashion forward with her unconventional designs, which reflect French traditions and culture. Courbebaisse is also known for being supportive of many causes around the world and for being an active supporter of the LGBTQ community, which she says is an essential part of France. Following is an interview with Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse.
What is your design philosophy? How do you express yourself through your design philosophy? I began my career in fashion at a very young age. While studying, I worked with the designer Jean-Paul Gaultier in Paris. When I first started working, he was quite young and was drawing inspiration from his own cultural heritage as well as European culture and traditions.
He was a pioneer of many things that we now know as global fashion trends today; his designs were very clean, simple, and wearable but still provocative. They had a strong sense of humor that made people think twice about what they had on. He used color very well to make bold statements. So today when you look at my collection, there is definitely a strong sense of humor infused within each piece. How did you come up with the idea for your
Who is Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse?

She has designed clothes for celebrities such as Celine Dion and Nicole Kidman, and her collections are often seen on the red carpet.

In 2005, she received a contract to design outfits for the American singer Celine Dion. She has also designed clothes for Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba. She has worked with celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Christina Aguilera, Kirsten Dunst, and Rachel McAdams..
How did she get started in fashion?
Courbebaisse was born in the town of Saint-Omer in southern France in 1969. She studied architecture at the University of Paris and then began working as a designer for a small fashion label. In 1996, she launched her own line, which quickly became one of the most popular French fashion labels. Courbebaisse's signature style is whimsical and playful with an emphasis on flattering silhouettes and intricate detail. Her collections have been featured in numerous magazines and fashion shows around the world.
What are some of her most famous designs?
Some of Courbebaisse's most famous designs include the Mary Jane shoes and the Pompon doll dress.
Why does this blogger love her style?
Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse is a French fashion designer who has been designing since 1998. Her designs have been popular in France, Italy, and Spain. Courbebaisse's clothing is known for its intricate detail and use of colorful fabrics. She has been awarded the L'Oreal Paris Award for Best New Costume Designer and the César Award for Best Costume Design. She is also the author of a fashion book for women, called "Le Style de Mary" (The Style Of Mary).
Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse designs are well known for their use of bold colors and interesting patterns. In her designs, she always makes sure that the fabrics have good quality, ensuring that they don't become frays or fade easily.
Oftentimes, Courbebaisse dresses will incorporate sequins and metallic thread into her designs. She has adopted a very feminine style of design in which every single detail was designed to be rounded and pleasing to the eye. The French designer is inspired by the 1920s era when she believes that most women were able to express their inner beauty through fashion design.
What are some of her most notable designs?
Some of Mary-Antoinette Courbebaisse's most notable designs include the "Liberty" dress, which became a symbol of the French Revolution, and the "Queen's Necklace," which was worn by Marie Antoinette. Courbebaisse's greatest contribution to fashion, however, was her conceptualization of the corset.
What is Marie Antoinette doing here? Throughout her life, Marie-Antoinette has been seen as everything from a naive woman to an evil queen. She was born on November 22, 1755, in Vienna and became the victim of a failed marriage proposal to Prince Leopold of Gotha at age fourteen. After the marriage failed, she moved to France with her mother, where she began living well beyond one's station in life.
While some have argued that she was never really caught up in society because she spent most of her time weaving and embroidering beautiful clothes for others, there is no denying that

She also designed a number of other popular dresses for the court, and her work has been influential in shaping early modern French fashion. Courbebaisse was born into a wealthy family in 1763, and her father intended her to become an artist. However, after seeing Marie Antoinette wear one of her designs at a masquerade ball, he decided she should focus on fashion design instead.
After studying at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris, she opened her own shop in 1790. Over the course of her career, Courbebaisse created more than 600 pieces of clothing and accessories, many of which are still highly prized today. She died in 1837 at the age of 74.
Peter Cox is a fashion historian and a professor of art history at the University of California, San Diego. He has written on historical clothing and its relation to cultural identity, especially in the context of France's revolutions.

Tropical Wool Slim Pant
Tropical Wool is a great fabric that is extremely comfortable. The larger gaps in the weaving make the fabric more lightweight and breathable. This material can be worn year-round, and actually combats heat, both indoors and out, by evaporating moisture. Tropical Wool is the finest wool mixed with spandex; so the fabric has actual stretch and recovery.
This lined pant, although slim, is not the slimmest style. It has a slim leg, but is still considered to be a straight-legged pant. When purchasing this pant, one may need to go up a size. Note that is has a seam going up the back of the pant.
