Fix Version/s: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.2.0, 2.1.3, 2.3.0
Component/s: hbase-operator-tools
In some use cases, hbase clients writes to separate clusters(probably different datacenters) tables for redundancy. As an administrator/application architect, I would like to find out if both cluster tables are in the same state (cell by cell). One of the tools that is readily available to use is VerifyRep which is part of replication.
However, it requires peerId to be setup on atleast of the involved cluster. PeerId is unnecessary in this use-case scenario and possibly cause unintended consequences as the clusters aren't really replication peers neither do We prefer them to be.
Looking at the code:
Tool attempts to get only the clusterKey which is essentially ZooKeeper quorum url
//VerifyReplication.java private static Pair<ReplicationPeerConfig, Configuration> getPeerQuorumConfig(final Configuration conf, String peerId) . . return Pair.newPair(peerConfig, ReplicationUtils.getPeerClusterConfiguration(peerConfig, conf)); //ReplicationUtils.java public static Configuration getPeerClusterConfiguration(ReplicationPeerConfig peerConfig, Configuration baseConf) throws ReplicationException { Configuration otherConf; try { otherConf = HBaseConfiguration.createClusterConf(baseConf, peerConfig.getClusterKey());
So I would like to propose to update the tool to pass the remote cluster ZkQuorum as an argument (ex. --peerQuorumAddress clusterBzk1,clusterBzk2,clusterBzk3:2181/hbase-secure ) and use it effectively without dependence on replication peerId, similar to peerFSAddress. The are certain advantages in doing so as follows:
- Reduce the development/maintenance of separate tool for above scenario
- Allow the tool to be more useful for other scenarios as well such as
- validating backups in remote cluster HBASE-19106
- compare cloned tableA and original tableA in same/remote cluster incase of user error before restoring snapshot to original table to find the records that need to be added/invalid/missing etc
- Allow backup operators who are non-Hbase admins(who shouldn't be adding the peerId) to run the tool, since currently only Hbase superuser can add a peerId for reasons discussed in HBASE-21163.
Please post your comments

On his popular Instagram account, artist Chris Toledo shares ornate interiors and bathroom remodels. There is one distinct difference, however, between his handiwork and the type of thing you'd find on Pinterest. All of Toledo's interiors are miniaturized at a 1:12 scale. If it weren't for his hand cramming into the small spaces—or a full-sized toothbrush towering in the bathroom or a real head of garlic taking up half the kitchen—you'd never realize how tiny these places are; his details are just that impeccable.
"Since I was a kid, I loved to create," he tells My Modern Met, "from building little houses out of sticks and pebbles in my backyard to painting portraits of my friends and family." His father was also an influence as a contractor and a woodworker who passed down a love of furniture-making and architecture.
Toledo's inspiration for his small sculptures came from his love of art and history. "When I first discovered miniatures," he recalls, "it was an instant love because for the first time I had discovered an art form which encompassed every medium I have ever loved and worked with. Aside from being able to use all my favorite mediums in one form, I loved the tangibility of working with miniatures." They also serve as another way for Toledo to immortalize historical architecture. "Miniatures give me a chance to preserve a moment from the past and allow me to hold it in my hands and see it with my own eyes."
Though it might seem like he'd have to completely rethink how to work in such a small scale, Toledo reveals that it's not as different as you might expect. "When it comes to creating my pieces, the process is very much like building a full-size structure (with a few 'mini' exceptions)," he explains. "Many of my pieces start off as simple sketches. I draw out several different floor plans to determine what will have the right flow and overall look. The scale I strictly work in is 1:12 or one-inch scale, which means one foot in normal scale translates down to one inch." The building process is also similar to constructing something full size. "Many of the tools and materials I use are just scaled-down versions of their normal counterparts," he says.
In addition to the technical considerations, it's just as important to Toledo to depict how the miniatures feel when he's done. "With all my pieces, I like to make them looked lived in and worn. To me, this truly gives the pieces a soul and that ultimate realism I strive for in all my work."
Artist Chris Toledo creates impeccable miniature interiors of historical architecture at a 1:12 scale.

COLLUM: With 3 transverse rows of setiferous tubercles, 3+3 anterior, 1+1 intermediate and 2+2 posterior tubercles (excluding small setiferous notches at base of paraterga), lateral tubercles of posterior row located at almost halfway to intermediate row; paraterga of collum low, elevated at ca. 30°, directed caudolaterad, with two setiferous notches on lateral margin (first inconspicuous notch located at the base of paratergum, second one conspicuous).
TEGUMENT: Moderately shining; collum, metaterga and surface below paraterga coarsely microgranulate; prozona finely shagreened; paraterga, sterna and epiproct smooth.
METATERGA: With 2 transverse rows of setiferous tubercles and rose thorn-like spines; metaterga 2-18 with 2+2 anterior and 2+2 posterior spines; metatergum 19 with 2+2 anterior and 2+2 posterior spines (tubercles in some specimens).
PARATERGA: Directed caudolaterad on body rings 2-17, elevated at ca. 45° (male) 40° (female); directed increasingly caudad on body rings 18 and 19; anterior margin with 2 distinct notches, on lateral margin of body rings 9, 10, 12, 13, 15-18 with tiny denticle near the tip.
TELSON: Epiproct: tip subtruncate; lateral setiferous tubercles inconspicuous; apical tubercles inconspicuous. Hypoproct subsemicircular (in some specimens subtrapeziform); caudal margin round, with inconspicuous setiferous tubercles.
STERNA: Cross-impressions shallow. Sternal lobe between male coxae 4 swollen, usually subrectangular (in some specimens subtrapeziform), quite long and slightly thick when seen in lateral view, tip usually emarginate (some specimens subtruncate).
LEGS: Very long and slender. Male femora 5 and 6 strongly humped ventrally in middle part.
GONOPODS (Fig. 15): Coxa (cx) longer than prefemur. Cannula (ca) long and slender. Prefemur (pfe) ca. 2/3 as long as femur. Femur (fe) long and slender. Mesal sulcus (ms) and lateral sulcus (ls) very deep and wide. Postfemur (pof) conspicuous, ventrally very wide. Solenophore (sph) well-developed: lamina lateralis (ll) swollen, surface rough; ventral lobe (vll) quite long, digitiform, directed ventrad: lamina medialis (lm) well-developed; process (plm) long, spine-like, tip emarginate - not terminating in spines (in some specimens almost blunt), directed mesoanteriad; distal lobe (dlm) distally with two distinct lamellae (mesal lamella slightly smaller than lateral one; lateral lamella thin and broad, tip directed almost in vertical plane); broad lobe (blm) thick, obviously demarcated from distal lobe (dlm) by a deep and wide indentation. Solenomere (sl) quite short.
Distribution and habitat.
Known only from the type locality and nearby areas. Desmoxytes breviverpa was collected from limestone forest, crawling on logs and litter ( Srisonchai et al. 2016). We believe it may be distributed though the central and southern parts of north Thailand. This species has been reported from Phrae, Lampang and Uttaradit Provinces. Therefore, D. breviverpa should be regarded as endemic for Thailand.
Specimens collected from Uttaradit Province south of the type locality showed the same morphological characters as the type specimens. No variation was found between populations although most limestone areas in north Thailand are geographically isolated by several big mountain ranges and quite far from each other.
Srisonchai et al. (2016) discussed variation of the tip of sternal lobe between male coxae 4; we found additional variation within populations as follows:
- Tip of sternal lobe in some specimens almost truncate (=subtruncate), albeit other specimens show an emarginate tip (slightly or deeply emarginate).
- Tip of hypoproct in some individuals subsemicircular, in others subtrapeziform.
- Tip of process (plm) of lamina medialis emarginate in most specimens, but almost blunt in some.
Coexisting species.
None known.
Corrections to Srisonchai et al. (2016)
Srisonchai et al. (2016, pp. 99-103) wrote in the description of this species that the paraterga (including paraterga of collum) are directed dorsolaterad. In fact they are directed caudolaterad as described above.

Women's water polo back in SEA Games
Women's water polo has been included in this year's SEA Games in the Philippines.
It was initially omitted in the final list released by the Games organisers, but an appeal led by defending champions Thailand saw the sport being confirmed earlier this week.
Four countries will compete at this year's Games: two-time champions Thailand, 2015 and 2017 silver medallists Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Ex-world champ Ning hangs up his trunks
SHANGHAI • China's former 100m freestyle world champion and swimming pin-up Ning Zetao announced his retirement from the sport yesterday on his 26th birthday.
A fan favourite in China because of his ability and looks, he won the 100m free world title in 2015 and was a four-time gold medallist at the Asian Games a year earlier. But his career has been on the slide since and he hangs up his trunks with the reputation of a talent never fulfilled.

Time is running out for some combat-injured veterans to claim tax refunds of up to $3,200
IRS representation in Houston
The Internal Revenue Service is reminding veterans who received disability severance payments after 1991 and claimed it as income that time may be running out to claim their refund.
Veterans should take action soon if they received a notice (letters 6060-A and 6060-D) and have not already filed Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to claim a refund or credit of the overpayment attributable to the disability severance payment should do so soon.
"We appreciate the service and sacrifice of our nation's combat-injured veterans, and the IRS is pleased to help deliver refunds under this special provision," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Time is running out this month for many people who qualify for this refund. We urge combat-injured veterans to take time review the provisions to see if they are eligible."
The Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act of 2016 provides that most veterans who received a one-time, lump-sum, disability severance payment when they separated from military service are entitled to a refund if that payment was claimed as income. The payment must have been received after January 17, 1991, and before January 1, 2017. Eligible veterans should have received a mailed notice from the Department of Defense in July of 2018 explaining how to claim their tax refunds.
Some veterans have yet to act
Deadlines are soon approaching as the time available for claiming these tax refunds is limited to:
- One year from the date of the Department of Defense notice, or
- Three years after the due date for filing the original return for the year the disability severance payment was made, or
- Two years after tax was paid for the year the disability severance payment was made.
Veterans claiming their refund have the normal limitations period for claiming a refund or one year from the date of their letter from the DoD, whichever expires later. As taxpayers can usually only claim tax refunds within three years from the due date of the return, this alternative time frame is especially important since some of the claims may be for refunds of taxes paid as far back as 1991. While many veterans have claimed their refunds in the past year, many others have not, and time is running short.
Two options for claiming the tax refund
- Option 1: File a claim based on the actual amount of the overpayment attributable to your lump sum disability severance payment, or
- Option 2: Choose to claim the standard refund amount listed below that corresponds to the year the disability severance payment was made. Simply write "Disability Severance Payment" on Form 1040-X, line 15, and enter the standard refund amount listed below on line 15, column B, and on line 22, leaving the remaining lines blank.
Veterans can submit a claim based on the actual amount of their disability severance payment by completing Form 1040-X and carefully following the instructions (PDF). An original return is not necessary if the information for that tax year available. Veterans without the required information to complete the Form 1040-X, you can request a transcript online at IRS.gov/transcript.
Option 2, claiming a standard refund amount, is the easiest way to request a refund because it does not require finding the original tax return or requesting information about the return from the IRS. It may result in a larger or smaller refund based on the actual amount from the return. The standard refund amounts are:
- $1,750 for tax years 1991 – 2005
- $2,400 for tax years 2006 – 2010
- $3,200 for tax years 2011 – 2016
Special Instructions
Carefully follow the instructions in the notice mailed by the Department of Defense in July 2018:
- Complete and file IRS Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, for the tax year the disability severance payment was made
- Write either "Veteran Disability Severance" or "St. Clair Claim" across the top of the front page of the Form 1040-X
- All amended returns are filed on paper, so veterans should mail their completed Form 1040-X, with a copy of the DoD letter, to:
Internal Revenue Service
333 W. Pershing Street, Stop 6503, P5
Kansas City, MO 64108
Eligible but never received a DoD notice
Veterans who did not receive the notice from the Department of Defense and received a disability severance payment after January 17, 1991, that was reported as taxable income, can still file a claim. They must include the necessary documentation to file with their Form 1040-X. Veterans should contact the National Archives, National Personnel Records Center, or the Department of Veterans Affairs to obtain the required documentation for submission with their Form 1040-X.
The IRS has posted detailed information on IRS.gov. Veterans with questions about claiming a tax refund for disability severance payment, can call the IRS toll free at 833-558-5245, ext. 378 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time (Alaska and Hawaii follow Pacific time).

Local communities receive share of $10 million in federal grants
Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, along with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, announced Thursday that more than $10 million in federal grant funding is being awarded to 19 rural communities.
"Rural communities are the next great economic frontier for our state, and it is vital they are receiving support to keep Indiana moving forward," Crouch said. "With these funds, local governments are able to complete various projects like improving their infrastructure, downtown revitalization and public facilities improvements."
Area communities to receive grants include:
– The City of Greenwood: Public Facilities Program grant of $500,000 for renovation of a senior center, The Social of Greenwood. The project will renovate the roughly 6,500 square foot center to include updates to the wellness areas, multi-purpose program rooms, a food pantry and administrative spaces.
– Jackson County: Public Facilities Program grant of $225,000 for the rehabilitation of the Vallonia Community Center. The project will renovate the interior and upgrade the Joseph Jackson Hotel that was originally built in 1914.
– The City of Greensburg: Main Street Revitalization Program grant of $600,000 for downtown street improvements. This revitalization project will upgrade the southern half of Main Street between Broadway and Franklin streets and on the south side of the courthouse square.

Country singer-songwriter Sam Hunt, who was arrested on Wednesday for driving under the influence of alcohol, has apologized through social media.
"Thursday night I decided to drive home after drinking a drink with a friend," he writes. "It was a bad and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone I have endangered with my behavior and I am disappointed in it. It will not happen again," the singer writes.
Tests showed that the 34-year-old singer had 0.133 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters in his blood, well above the applicable limit of 0.08 grams. After paying a deposit of $ 2,500 (about 2,250 euros), he was allowed to leave the police station after a few hours.
Hunt became known in the Netherlands for his song Take Your Time , which was in the Dutch charts in 2015. The singer, nominated for four Grammy Awards, performed in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in March of the same year.

Mack let out a frustrated snarl as he pumped the lever and no water came out. He had pulled it apart and inspected it, seeing there was nothing obstructing the pipes, he put it back how it was, but the damn water pump would not pump. He pulled his hands up to his face and exhaled harshly trying to bring back the sensation back to his fingers. The cold was excruciating, making him go out into the ranch to do his chores with three layers of clothing. He feared the windmill was broken and he had no idea how to fix.
He rubbed his head as he turned to look out towards the town and wondered how long it would take him to go to the windmill to figure out why he wasn't getting any water.
"You having problems with the water too, Mack?"
Mack turned to Hanna who stood with a blanket around her shoulders outside her door. "Yeah. I'm gonna go and check it out. Will you keep an eye on Joanne?"
Hanna gave him a teasing smile. "Sure." She closed the distance between them and asked quietly, "How is she doing?"
"She's better."
"Well, it's a good thing she's got you to lean on."
"Yeah, I guess so."
She nudged him with her elbow softly. "Don't be so bashful, Mack. I saw you two the other night. You were all close and snuggly."
"We were not, " he replied looking down at his hands feigning disinterest in the subject.
"You like her, and don't you deny it. I saw it the first time I saw you two together."
"Be sensible, Hanna. The woman just lost her father."
"I know, " she replied offended. "All I'm saying is that if you like her, you make a move now before it's too late."
The front door of his house opened, and Joanne appeared wearing heavy wool pants and boots, and Mack's jacket. Hanna recognized it immediately. She gave Mack an all-knowing look and he did his best to ignore it. "Morning Miss Sommersagan. How are you?"
Joanne smiled politely as she replied, "I'm fine, thank you."
"Say, if it's not too much to ask, would you accompany Mack into town? We're not getting any water, so he's gonna check the windmill. You know about that stuff, don't you? You could teach him a thing or two?"
Mack gave Hanna a disapproving look, how could she be so obvious? But Hanna gave him a smile.
"I know some, " Joanne replied probably catching on Hanna's little scheme.
"Good! Tell you what, when you return, I'll have breakfast ready for you two."
"Sure, " replied Mack. "Let that be part of your payment from when we fix the pump."
Hanna laughed as she turned away and walked back into her house. Mack turned to Joanne. "Alright, should we take some tools with us?"

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry's life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend's uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
"Well, one time, while we were in Spain, my father and I had stayed with this very nice woman. She was advanced of age, so her thinking was old fashion. She didn't like the way I spent my time helping my father, so she found a man for me to marry."
"But you didn't marry him."
"No, I had told her I was not interested but she was resilient. She had tricked me to accompany her to church one day and there my suitor was, with the priest ready to marry me off."
"What did you do, then?"
"What else could I do? I ran away. They had locked the doors so I threw a statue against a window and made my escape."
Mack did his best to contain his laughter. "You broke a church's window?"
"Well, yes, I couldn't see any other way out. Luckily, we left the following morning." She paused as a thought came to her. "I never told my father."
"Why not?"
"I supposed I feared he would chastise me for running away from it. I think he would have liked me to get married. He never said so but I had just turned twenty-one. Etiquette dictates I'd be married and with children already."
"But he wasn't much for etiquette, was he?"
She pondered his question and replied, "You're right. He was the one who taught me how to combine sulfur with nitrite to make an explosion."
"That lady was mad, " he said. "To force you into marriage like that."
She laughed. "She was a lunatic. But she seemed normal at first, those are the ones you need to watch out for."
They arrived at Mack's ranch, and as if she was waiting right by the window, Hanna appeared cheerily. "The pumps are working as if they were new, come on, I owe you breakfast!"
She ran back to her house hurriedly and Mack gave Joanne a nod. "Come on, she makes the best breakfasts in town."

Intl. Autos helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
In the video above, we show you how to fix minor oil leaks in your 2013 Cadillac XTS. We will show you specifically how to determine if the fluid leaking from your XTS is oil, check your oil level and fix the oil leak using stop leak. Extremely low oil levels can critically damage your engine, so it is important to be proactive about oil leaks, however small. Oil leaks in the 2013 XTSs with the 3.6 liter engine are often due to a bad seal in the drain plug - the metal washer in your drain plug can only be tightened a few times before it loses its ability to seal and should be replaced periodically to prevent leaking. Replacing the metal washer should only be done when you change the oil in your XTS, fortunately the video above shows how to fix the minor leak in the interim.
Fixing minor oil leaks is fairly straightforward, but first, make sure that your engine is cold and that your XTS is parked on a level surface when you check the oil level as both of these things can cause the oil level to read low. Check our What is Leaking? video to see what type of fluid is leaking from your XTS if you are unsure.

Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division
December 28, 1911
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Plaintiff,v.THE METROPOLITAN SURETY COMPANY, Respondent. R. GRANT JOHNSTON, Appellant.
Page 504
APPEAL by R. Grant Johnston, petitioner, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the Albany Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Albany on the 13th day of July, 1911, denying a motion that certain moneys be paid over to be applied upon an execution, and directing that the matter be referred to a referee to take testimony and report to the court.
G. D. B. Hasbrouck and Amos Van Etten, for the appellant.
Edward R. Finch, for the respondent.
The appellant leased to the Jamestown Exposition Excursion and Steamboat Company a steamship for the period of seven months, beginning the 1st day of May, 1907, at a rental of $900 per month, payable monthly, and the lessee also agreed to pay certain charges and keep the vessel in repair. The lease contained a clause that the charterer should furnish a bond in the sum of $2,500 to guarantee the faithful performance of the contract of leasing. Thereupon the defendant, The Metropolitan Surety Company, executed such bond at the request of the exposition company, which deposited $1,250 as collateral thereto. The bond so furnished bound the principal and surety to pay such sum and secured appellant, named as
Page 505
obligee, from any pecuniary loss resulting from the breach of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the contract of hiring, and further provided that the surety company should be informed of any breach of the terms of such contract within thirty days, and should not be liable for any greater sum than the penalty mentioned in the bond, nor at all unless proceedings thereon were instituted not later than the 1st day of January, 1908.
The exposition company breached its contract and the appellant brought suit against the surety company after the 1st day of January, 1908, and his complaint was dismissed because the action was brought after that date. Thereupon the appellant brought suit against the exposition company, and it being a foreign corporation the plaintiff obtained an attachment, and the sheriff attached, as is claimed, the fund which the exposition company had deposited with the surety company on the giving of the bond. Judgment was finally obtained against the exposition company for $2,951.26, and execution thereon issued to the sheriff, who levied the attachment, which execution is presumably outstanding.
On January 6, 1909, the above-entitled action was brought by the People to dissolve the surety company on the ground that it was insolvent, and a temporary receiver was appointed who has since been made permanent receiver, and is now engaged in marshaling the assets of such corporation, and has in his hands a sum greater than $1,250.
At the time the surety company gave its bond to the appellant it executed for the exposition company two other bonds, and the exposition company demanded and received in cash fifty per cent of the total of those bonds. Breach of these two latter bonds was made, and the surety company was compelled to pay a sum greater than the exposition company had placed in its hands on all three of the bonds which it had given.
The appellant demanded from the receiver the $1,250 which had been deposited with the surety company by the exposition company as collateral security for the bond which had been given, and, upon payment being refused, made a motion to compel such receiver to pay the same over to him. Instead of directing the receiver so to do the court appointed the referee

to take proof and report. From such order Johnston appeals, claiming that he was entitled to have the money paid over to him as matter of law, and that the ...

Hi all
Based on what i have read and the time spent playing a rogue, i feel its pretty obvious that melee rogues are missing the punch they need to be competitive in both PVE and PVE. Nightblades are an exception to this but that mainly comes from them being partly a ranged class and having some pretty powerful incoming damage reduction skills later in the tree.
I play SIN/BD/INF in PVP atm build: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0M....0Aoft0boddR.x
It's a pretty handy spec. For the most part I open with bleeds, get stuns/interupts/disarms in where I can and try to cap it off with some DD. I do ok. I'm not going to bore you with the details.
I have one concern about the Rogue class, and in fact, the warrior class. That is the lack of attack power scaling.
I have skipped abilities in the SIN tree like backstab because it hits like a wet noodle. I never open with assassinate because it's pathetic. These two strikes claim to be using a massive bonus from attack power over standard abilities but generally do not hit much harder. This begs the question... How much of my actual attack power is applied to my attacks in the first place? What effect does it actually have on my attacks?
Crit rating is massively favoured over attack power and while I understand that in PVP crit is king it stands to reason that attack power should at least carry a fairly even weight. If I add 10% attack power to my rogues gear, I want a big boost to my strike damage to go with it.
To carry the point forward to DPS warriors carries my point further. Why are warriors foregoing plate armour because dexterity and its attached crit rating is better for them than the typically touted warrior stat, strength. Because they too suffer attack power scaling issues. I think a rework of the base damage/weapon damage/ap scaling needs to be done across all melee. But rogues need a big rework on this front. I think this would go a hell of a way to solving the current problems we are seeing with melee rogues in game.
What do you think. Do you have any sensible ideas to improve the state of melee rogues? Any ideas to discourage warriors picking leather over plate for stats? Do you have answers to any of my questions above?
Please respond

Analyze The Impact Of Japanese Militarism On Japan And Asia
Question : Analyze the impact of Japanese militarism on Japan and Asia
Militarism refers to placing a nation under military control and actions are aimed at fulfilling its expansionist ambition. From 1930s to after the Second World War, Japan and some Asian countries such as China had faced impacts base on the spread of militarism.
In the 1920s and 30s, Mussolini and Hitler rose to power in Italy and Germany respectively. In Japan, similar to the situation of Italy and Germany, the right-wing and the military forces were gaining dominance. It was called Japanese Fascism which promotes "anti-power", "anti-capital" and "rescuing the villages".
First, for the political impact on Japan, in the early 1930s, a radical of army planned to start a coup. Although the coup was unsuccessful, it hastened the formation of Inukai Tsuyoshi's cabinet. There were great conflicts between him and the military ministry. On 15 May 1932, he was shot to death which was planned by the army school students and the radical faction of the extreme nationalists. This incident was called "May 15th Incident". But the killers claimed that the incident was an attempt to transform Japan. Hence, this incident shows the spread of Fascism in Japan. Inukai Tsuyoshi's cabinet was followed by the end of party polities. The power of military ministry increased rapidly which was the militarism's influence on Japan. The militarism obstructed Japan's political development.
Second, for the economic impact on Japan, in the latter half of 1932, Japan economy recovered due to the progressive financial policy, but later it was composed by the expanding armaments and military production. At the time, the army was divided into two factions: Imperial Way Faction and the Control Faction. They had different ideologies to reach the same objective of transforming Japan into a strong military power. On26 February 1936, young army officers of Imperial Way...

By Anna J. Park
Big-name players as well as the government's deregulation efforts are expected to provide the impetus for growth of the nation's initial public offering (IPO) market in 2020, according to industry experts, Friday.
SK Biopharmaceuticals, CJ Healthcare, Kakao Bank, Hyundai Card, Hotel Lotte, Krafton and more, are planning to go public this year, which experts expect will raise over 8 trillion won ($6.9 billion).
As the total market value of these companies is estimated at 18 trillion to 20 trillion won ($15.5 billion to $17.2 billion), analysts expect the IPOs this year will mark a major growth from 2019.
"Last year's IPOs were similar to those of 2018 in terms of the number of listed companies. However, the total amount of raised money was larger than that of 2018 as we saw some big companies such as Lotte REIT and Hanhwa Systems, listed at the latter part of the year," Park Jong-sun, analyst at Eugene Investment & Securities told The Korea Times.
Park's report, published Wednesday, states that 112 companies went public in 2019. When excluding cases of segmental listings, re-listings, special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) and SPAC-led listings, the listed number last year stood at over 70. The figure is similar to the number of IPOs in 2018. Yet the total amount of money raised last year marked 4 trillion won ($3.4 billion), up about 1 trillion won from the previous year.
"We expect this year's IPOs could raise a much greater amount of capital than previous years, because several companies preparing the IPOs ― companies like SK Biopharmaceuticals, CJ Healthcare, Kakao Bank, Hyundai Card, Hotel Lotte ― are major ones, whose market values are estimated at trillions of won," Park said.
"We can also expect the number of IPOs will increase, owing to the government's policy direction easing regulations on listing processes for companies specializing in materials, parts and equipment," he added.
These big-named companies, however, are all going through a different phase in their IPOs; SK Biopharmaceuticals have already completed a preliminary evaluation by the KRX at the end of last year, and it's highly likely that this company will enter the stock market within the first six months of this year.
CJ Healthcare has also chosen Samsung Securities, Korea Investment & Securities and JP Morgan as book runners last month. Hyundai Card is also known to have chosen NH Investment & Securities, Citigroup Global Markets as their book runners at the end of last year, preparing for the IPO.
In 2019, the Korean government has introduced sets of rules, simplifying IPO processes for businesses on materials, parts and equipment, as well as fintech companies, with aims to spur further growth and capital influxes in the sectors. That's why analysts expect more small-and-medium-sized companies in those sectors will attempt to go public this year.
"While the number of IPO filings by small-and-medium-sized businesses is expected to increase this year, public investors' careful approach is required more than ever," Na Seung-doo, analyst at SK Securities, told The Korea Times.
"Outwardly, the general outlook for the IPOs is rosy; yet individual investors need to closely watch and focus on analyzing each company's fundamental strengths and values, rather than just rushing into new issuance of equities," Na added.

ME sings at Centennial Pang Capitol
Lingayen, Pangasinan- Urdaneta City University Music Ensemble made a mark in the province upon performing in the Centennial Celebration of the Capitol Building with the theme "Stronger Heritage, Stronger Pangasinan" on December 15, 2018.
Led by Mr. Jonathan Lastimado, Choirmaster, 35 students united their voices as they rendered three songs, namely; "Handog" by Florante, "Si Ka Bayani" by Gary Granada, and "From Now On" from The Greatest Showman.
"All the performers in the event were champions and achievers of their ventures. It was an honor for UCU since we were chosen to be part of this remarkable event. Knowing that the provincial government recognizes us is a milestone for all UCUians," Mr. Lastimado said in an interview.
He also added that "UCU-ME only had one day to rehearse since the invitation was not given in advance, and the UCU Executive Chorale Concert was my priority (by that time)."
Mr. Louie Ocampo, Director of the event, expressed his commendations to the group even though the choir was composed mostly of new members.
"There is no better chorale I know who can do justice to the tribute that has been prepared for the iconic personalities of Pangasinan other than the UCU Music Ensemble. They were great as they gave us a world class performance to honor our fellow Pangasinenses."
"Most importantly, their songs made me feel proud to be a Pangasinense. They are more than perfect to be part of the Capitol Building's Centennial Celebration", he added.
"Nakaka overwhelm kasi kahit bago palang ako sa choir, nagkaroon agad ako ng chance para makasama sa ganito kalaking event," Eljohn Villa, choir member, stated.
Moreover, a former UCU student in the person of Rica Mae C. Maer was also invited to perform as one of the lead singers.
"Nakaka overwhelm kasi hindi ko expect na mai invite ako sa ganito kalaking event. Nakakatuwa kasi naipakita ko yung talent ko sa maraming tao", she exclaimed.
Included in the celebration were the different production numbers from various artists and performing groups.
Also, one of the highlights was the projection mapping flashed at the building itself. #

Oh goodie another great summer in New England.....Um yeah no. Unreal.
Riddle me the crescent moon on the day/night my wife will have her baby goat
we're gonna have weather, whether or not .....
What will the weather be on June 8 2019. Outdoor graduation party
Seriously! Do you really expect anyone to be able to even give you an educated guess at what the weather will be on a specific day nearly 4 months from now? Many weather forecasts these days have a problem getting it right a day or 2 in advance. Best time to get a reasonably reliable forecast for the afternoon of June 8th would be about 10 am on the morning of June 8th. Even then, it may be wrong!
its always been spot on..its a general prediction not specific to the day
It will be sunny and warm here in Portland, ME. The high will be 77 degrees F and the Low will be 56 degrees F. Winds will be out of the Southeast at 5-7 MPH with occasional gusts as high as 10 MPH. The local Farmers' Market in Deering Oaks Park will be alive and full of shoppers. Many vendors will display their wares for one to purchase. The Farmers' Market here is a treat to attend and everything is grown locally and super fresh.
What will weather be like in Michigan and WISCONSIN in April and May 2019?

PresentationFor several years, I have led a reflection on the topic of "PASSAGE", more precisely on the concept of "Interval".
My work brings together plastic devices based on a dialogue, (and) a circulation(a movement) of interpretation at various levels.
Between the medium and its disappearance,
between presence and absence, I try to transmit this particular

My current concern is aimed at a plastic experimentation of the "membrane", formulated through the treatment of various materials, and undergoing the action of diverse environments and contexts.

As reported by the drinks business, Jérôme Philipon, the former president of Champagne brand Bollinger and COO of its holding company, Société Jacques Bollinger (SJB), is to leave the group at the end of this year.
Philipon, who has worked at the business for more than 12 years, took on a more senior position in 2017, which saw him leave Champagne Bollinger's headquarter's in Aÿ, near Epernay, to work in the group's Paris office.
Speaking exclusively to the drinks business last week about the reasons for his departure, he stressed that it was his decision, but also that he was not taking up a new position at another business.
He told db: "I'm leaving after 12 years with the SJB group, and it really is my decision, I have weighed up the pros and cons over the last few months, and discussed it at length with [SJB chairman and Bollinger family member] Étienne Bizot, but I have decided I must move on, and lead a more balanced life.
"I have a farm in France and I have not been able to take care of that in the last few years since I've been in Paris, it was easier when I was in Champagne. I spent 10 years with Nestlé, 10 years with Coca Cola, and 12 years at Bollinger."

Comment: Bespoke removals packages offer all the options - at a price
PUBLISHED: 09:03 16 October 2019 | UPDATED: 09:27 16 October 2019
Moving used to be easy – we'd hire a van, or, if we were feeling flash, a van with a bonus man – and we were sorted.
Then we got older and accumulated loads more stuff, including children; all three come complete with bulky things like beds and wardrobes, and, when combined with the many more demands on our time and patience (children again), we started looking at 'proper' removal firms.
These guys offer a luxury service - wardrobe boxes you can hang your stuff straight into and padded covers for everything from pictures to pianos.
Then there's the fleet of branded Lutons and lorries to transport your worldly goods to their new home. They also offer a team of pro packers to manage the most tedious part of your move. It's pretty impressive.
But naturally, none of this comes cheap. When we got the first quote back and it was in excess of £2,500 our reluctance to get involved ourselves changed quite dramatically.
About £500 of the quote was just for packing. Surely we could do that ourselves?
You may also want to watch:
A friend suggested booking the pros to pack just the kitchen, as individually wrapping all those glasses and bowls is notoriously the biggest faff.
But our kitchen's small so we decided not to bother. How long was it going to take? Surely nowhere near £500-worth of time?
Smaller amounts of money can quickly become meaningless when viewed against the price of a house, but £500 is still a solid chunk of cash.
What price the stress of the DIY approach, though?
Only now, when we've started chipping away at our bookshelves and realised just how much packing is going to be required, have we begun to consider that pro packers may have been a worthwhile investment.
Maybe we should have splashed out on a bespoke moving package designed with our collective sanity in mind?
Only time will tell if not doing so has been a false economy.

Education, Training, Learning, Knowledge: Part 4
By ANDY ANDEWS

In last week's column, we ended by saying that education and training involves knowledge, information and beliefs. Albert Einstein said (or wrote) that "the value of education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think." Allegedly, he also said "Never memorize what you can look up in books."
Knowledge is continually debated by philosophers in the field of epistemology. According to a classical definition, statement is considered knowledge if it is justified, true, and believed. But it is still debated. According

French, Russian FMs discuss Syria by telephone
PARIS - The foreign ministers of France and Russia discussed Syria by telephone Thursday despite severe tensions over the crisis that led President Vladimir Putin to cancel a visit to Paris.
Jean-Marc Ayrault "reaffirmed France's wish to pursue dialogue with Russia in all frankness," the French foreign ministry said in a statement after his conversation with Russia's Sergei Lavrov.
Ayrault stressed "the urgency to break the current impasse... and achieve a halt in the bombing of Aleppo to allow access for humanitarian aid and open the way for a resumption of negotiations towards a political solution," the statement said.
A heated row broke out between the two countries after Russia on Saturday used its Security Council veto against a French resolution calling for a halt to the bombing of Aleppo.
French President Francois Hollande accused Syrian troops of committing war crimes in Aleppo with Russian support, comments Putin dismissed as "rhetoric".
But the row prompted Putin to postpone a visit to Paris scheduled for next week during which he was to inaugurate a spiritual centre next to a new Russian Orthodox church.
Efforts will continue at the weekend to renew a truce in Syria. Lavrov will meet his US counterpart John Kerry in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Saturday as well as representatives from the Gulf states and Turkey.
Kerry is due in London for talks Sunday with representatives from Britain, France and Germany.

A spacetime not characterized by its invariants is of aligned type II
Journal article, Peer reviewed

Original versionHervik, S. (2011). A spacetime not characterized by its invariants is of aligned type II. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 28(21) doi:10.1088/0264-9381/28/21/215009
By using invariant theory we show that a (higher-dimensional) Lorentzian metric that is not characterised by its invariants must be of aligned type II; i.e., there exists a frame such that all the curvature tensors are simultaneously of type II. This implies, using the boost-weight decomposition, that for such a metric there exists a frame such that all positive boost-weight components are zero. Indeed, we show a more general result, namely that any set of tensors which is not characterised by its invariants, must be of aligned type II. This result enables us to prove a number of related results, among them the algebraic VSI conjecture.

Ten Ways I Achieve a Work Life Balance With a Newborn
Before having Oscar I was always out and about going to meetings and events or getting photos for my blog. Because I'm so used to doing that I find that if I don't leave the flat at least once I can go a little stir crazy so I make sure to fill my diary with short but sweet meet ups with my friends in order to keep both Oscar and I stimulated. If I don't have set plans, I'll make sure to go for a walk to break up my day, give Oscar some fresh air and a change of scene… though I can't really get work done during this time (apart from the occasional Instagram scroll while I'm having a coffee) I really find it necessary for my wellbeing. Oscar will usually fall asleep in the pram too so it also gives him a little down time too. … [Read more...] about Ten Ways I Achieve a Work Life Balance With a Newborn

Connected Traveler Technology Showcase Panels at the New York Times Travel Show
Digital cameras, mobile phones, tablets, apps and electronic gadgets were the subjects of the New York Times Travel Show's first-ever panels on technologies that make travel easier, more rewarding and more fun. I moderated three sessions with:
Condé Nast Traveler's Director of Consumer News and Digital Community Wendy Perrin, LAPTOP Magazine editor Mark Spoonauer, Digital imaging expert, author and photographer Sally Wiener Grotta, Food Blogger and author of dining app "Rome for Foodies" Katie Parla, Pascal de Hesselle of global mobile operator Truphone, Bob Gulino of wearable camera company Looxcie, Rachel Zisser of Condition One demonstrating a player that displays 180% interactive video on an iPad.
Smartphones, Tablets and Laptops
Mark likes the new Windows 8 hybrid laptops. Detach the screen and it becomes a tablet.
He also likes the iPad Mini with its brilliant 7.9 inch screen. Much easier to tote on a trip than a full-sized tablet.
We both like the Samsung Galaxy Note II, with its 5.5 inch screen, which works as an all-in-one phone and tablet (sometimes referred to as a phablet). It fits in your pocket but is is still big enough to use as an e-reader. It also has a stylus so you can draw on it.
I showed a combination case and Bluetooth keyboard made by Zagg that makes typing easier. It works on both Apple and Android phones and tablets with the flip of a switch.
"Don't text while walking" was a warning from all on the panel. Snatching phones from tourists has become great sport among thieves around the world.
Mark recommended the Lookout Security app to stop malicious viruses and apps and to find and lock your phone should it get lost. It is free but with a paid version you can also erase the data from your phone before it lands in the hands of spies and other miscreants. He also recommends three apps, iPassword, which he considers the best (but most expensive) or the free KeePass for Android and LastPass for storing and protecting passwords.
Power and Chargers
Your gear is valuable. I once fried an expensive videotape machine in Beijing after a power spike. Always carry some sort of surge surpressor. Mark recommends a Global Adapter from Brookstone.
Mark says the Energizer XP18000, an standalone battery, can keep a laptop charged for seven hours.
I showed a Voltaic Systems solar charger. The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase on the floor of The New York Times Travel Show displayed several models, including solar backpacks that are virtually indestructable. The folks at Voltaic were real heroes when they helped re-power Brooklyn after Hurricane Sandy.
Getting Connected
Traveling with a smartphone can be an expensive proposition due to high roaming charges for both phone calls and data. That can happen even if you call your mobile carrier and work out an international plan, but you might have to settle for low data limits. Some overseas data plans can reach their limit after one cat video. Downloading maps and using Facebook can also run up your data charges.
Pascal de Hesselle of Truphone said you can significantly cut the costs of roaming using Truphone.
You may be able to cut corners using an unlocked phone and buying SIM chips, the little wafers that control your phone, overseas but they can be a real hassle. Some may have to be chopped down to size to fit in your phone using a SIM card clipper. And you have to buy different ones for different carriers as you cross borders.
I talked about unlocking your phone. AT&T, for one, will help you unlock an iPhone that is out of contract. If you are lucky enough to own a Samsung Galaxy, there is an app in the Play Store called Galaxy Unlock that will do the trick. Don't expect to go back to your mobile provider for help, however, if you "brick" your phone (render it as useless as a brick). Bringing it back is an easy task, however, for a real phone nerd.
The cheapest and safest way to avoid phone bill shock is to leave your roaming off and use Wifi only when you can find a connection. Just remember to shut it off and leave it off. Pascal told of a butt call (making your phone dial while sitting on it) that cost $6 thousand dollars in roaming charges in Beijing.
I added, watch out for Canada! Crossing the border puts you in international roaming territory, even if they speak the same language.
You can sniff out free Wi-Fi using an app called Free Zone for Android or IOS. But beware Will Robinson, free Wi-Fi connections can be aliens in disguise. Make sure your phone is secured (see above). Free Wi-Fi connections are also notoriously slow. I sometimes sneak into hotel lobbies or use coffee shops to use their free connections but those aren't necessarily safe from malicious people who want to tap into your data.
Global MiFi
Mark recommends a portable internet hub you can rent. Xcom Global's MiFi has a flat rate of $14.95 a day. But that is what a lot of hotels charge, so it depends on where you are staying.
For phone calls, there is always the now-ubiquitous Skype. But give Libon a try. Right now it is only available for iPhone, but Android will be coming soon. It is free and like Skype offers free calls to other users and deeply discounted calls to landlines. But it is much more elegant with personalized messaging and voice recognition. It can even locate your caller on a map.

The Bleeding Edge: Augmented Reality
It is amazing to discover all that is going on all around you. I live Sonoma in the California Wine Country. There is a cow pasture two blocks from where I live and using apps such as Junaio and Layar, I am able to aim my phone in any direction and discover who near me is tweeting, posting Instagram pictures or YouTube videos, listing something for sale on eBay, selling a house or renting an apartment. I can even spot, on a map, what if any crimes have occurred in the neighborhood.
Wikitude is an augmented reality app for travelers. It maps attractions, restaurants and historical sites, dipping into the vast resources of Wikipedia and other sources.
Tune-in Radio will not only locate radio stations in your vicinity so you can catch local news and weather, but find radio stations all over the world. How about listening to the English language radio station in Bhutan? But warning, the listening to streaming radio stations can consume an enormous amount of bandwidth, so make sure you are on WiFi and not roaming.
Condition One
Rachel Zisser of Condition One demonstrated a video player that displays 180% interactive video on an iPad acting like a movable window that the viewer can control. It converts and plays video shot with a fisheye lens. Expect to see moving panoramas of hotels, resorts and destinations.
Digital Photography
American Hands photographer and digital image expert Sally Wiener Grotta just returned from the massive Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and brought a few goodies for show and tell:
Hufa Lens Cap
Tourist trails are paved with misplaced lens caps. This clips on your camera strap
A simple $9.95 solution.
Sanho ColorSpace UDMA
A portable drive device for storing your photos and data, with built-in viewer. Starts at $249
Sanho CameraMator
Wirelessly links your DSLR camera with your iPhone or iPad
Davis & Stanford Traverse B11
A tiny but sturdy tripod that fits in a carry-on. $170
Tiffin Smoothee
A tiny version of the Academy Award Winning Steadicam, which allows you to glide with your camera. For mobile phone or other small camera or GoPro sports cameras. $149
Spider-type moldable tripods
They will grab on to practically anything.
"Your best camera is the camera you have with you."
We discussed the fact that mobile phones produce very high quality photographs, they are alway with you and that there are many alternatives to large digital single lens reflexes for non-professionals.
For "phonographers" there are high quality accessory telephoto and lenses such those made by Olloclip.
We all liked Snapseed as a mobile phone photo editing app. Sally said she found it downright addictive.
Sony RX-100
I showed my new Sony100, a technical breakthrough for a camera that will fit in a shirt pocket. It has the largest sensor of any pocket cam and a F1.8 lens when shooting wide angle. That allows it to take pictures in very low light. Not only that, its images are 20 megapixels, far more than most people need. It also shoots stabilized 1080p high definition video, which I find superb. About $650.
Panasonic ZS30
Watch for this one. Panasonic has always made very high quality point-and-shoot cameras, some with Leica lenses. Not out yet, this will be the latest in the popular ZS series. The ZS30's breakthrough feature will be NFC (near field communication). All you will have to do is tap your mobile phone with the camera and it will transfer all of your pictures to your phone. And vice versa.
Mirrorless Interchangable Lens Cameras
Cameras are increasingly going mirrorless, using digital screens instead of mirrors. Mirrorless cameras often offer equal quality to the bulkier DSLRs and are very small and light. They are made by Sony, Panasonic and Olympus.
Bob Gulino demonstrated the wearable Looxcie camera, with which you can actually broadcast your travels live to the folks back home.
We also like GoPro's sports cams with shoot stunning high definition video.
Photo Tips
A survey of our audience determined that most people were not professionals or even photo enthusiasts, just people who wanted to take good pictures on their trips. So we offered a few photo tips that everyone can use:
Sally recommended turning on "force flash" when shooting outdoors in the daytime. That can bring out more detail in both foreground and background and, in sunshine, fill in harsh shadows.
She also offered a demonstration of how you set your zoom lens can make a big difference in how the very same scene might look. These pictures were shot with a zoom lens but with the photographer at different distances from the subject.
I explained how I approached a scene much as a cinematographer does. I look at the big picture with a wide shot. Then I search for interactions between people and things with a medium shot. Then I scour the picture for the details, the closeup. I have a screenwriter friend who uses Instagram on his iPhone to tell the stories, to catalog the details of his day. I have found that it actually makes me a more observant traveler.
As Sally says, it is all about telling a story.
We also talked about photographing people, about asking permission before you shoot. Sometimes just a smile and a nod will do. Sally suggested that with digital pictures you can actually show your subjects the pictures you have taken of them.
Polaroid Z2300
Professional photographers once carried a Polaroid camera around for that purpose. Now Polaroid has a new pocket camera, the Z2300 that actually spits out tiny, credit card sized pictures.
