What does the plugin do?
Plain and simple, with the Kiuwan plugin for IBM UrbanCode Deploy you can add automatic code quality analysis in your deployment process. This plugin allows you to include a step in the design of the component deployment process, that will automatically launch a Kiuwan code analysis. The Kiuwan plugin never uploads your source code to Kiuwan servers. Instead, the analysis is run locally and just the quality results are uploaded to Kiuwan.
How to install?
First of all, you have to download the latest version of the plugin. Once you have it, access the IBM UrbanCode Deploy web interface. Then, go to Settings and click on Automation Plugins. Press the Load Plugin button and choose the ZIP file with the plugin.
IBM UrbanCode Deploy Agent's environment requirements
Kiuwan's plugin is executed in IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent's environments, so, for any given agent machine, you will need to satisfy these requirements:
- Windows or Linux as operative system.
- Java JRE installed in the system. You will need Java 1.8 or higher.
- Connection to Kiuwan server using HTTPS (https://www.kiuwan.com). The plugin needs to log in to Kiuwan server to synchronize the quality model, download analyzer upgrades and upload quality results.
How to design a component deployment process with a Kiuwan analysis step?
After a successful Kiuwan plugin for IBM Urban Code Deploy installation, you have a new process step available from the tools menu called Code Review/Kiuwan/Analyze, as you can see in the picture below:
Now, you can drag and drop this step in your process design area, and connect it to any other steps. For the step to work properly you need to fill out the following four required properties in the step's Edit Properties panel:
- Name: The name of the step in the process.
- Kiuwan application: When you run an analysis, you need to attach the results to an existing application on Kiuwan. If the application does not exist in your Kiuwan account, it will be automatically created the first time the step is executed.
- Kiuwan analysis label: A label that will help you identify the analysis in Kiuwan.
- Kiuwan user name: Your Kiuwan account user name.
- Kiuwan password: Your Kiuwan account password.
Additionally, only if your IBM UrbanCode Deploy server/agent machine needs a proxy to access the Internet, you have to specify your proxy details with the following optional properties:
- Kiuwan proxy protocol: The protocol to connect to your proxy server. HTTP and SOCKS proxies are supported.
- Kiuwan proxy host: Your proxy server host name or IP address.
- Kiuwan proxy authentication: If your proxy server requires basic authentication, you have to select it from the combo. Only basic authentication supported.
- Kiuwan proxy user: Your user to authenticate with the proxy.
- Kiuwan proxy password: Your password to authenticate with the proxy.
How does the plugin work?
The plugin encapsulates the Kiuwan Local Analyzer Deprecated, which is basically doing all the work. You don't have to worry about Kiuwan local analyzer upgrades, it upgrades itself when necessary. So, what happens when your deployment process reaches the Kiuwan plugin step? First it connects to Kiuwan using the credentials specified in the properties.Then it downloads the quality model associated with the application you want to analyze (this association is done in Kiuwan) or the default quality model for applications that don't exist in Kiuwan yet (will be automatically created). The code analysis is run locally on the process' working directory. When finished, the results are uploaded to your Kiuwan account where you can access them anytime.
The step will return a success status upon completion of the analysis or a fail status if the analysis could not run. You can check the process execution log to diagnose the possible causes preventing the analysis.
Have fun analyzing continuously!!!

Operation Safe Haven, a military task force set up to curb the intermittent skirmishes and killings in Southern Kaduna, has denied taking side with any group.
General Anthony Atolagbe, commander of OPSH, said it was untrue they aided anyone to aid the killings that recently happened in some villages located in Bassa Local Council of the state.
The OPSH, which also instituted in Plateau and Bauchi states respectively, said its mandate was to protect the lives and property of all Nigerians and not to abet killings.

Company Liquidation
Beware of Company Liquidation
Do not rush into Company Liquidation. You may have overlooked other options and a Company Liquidation can easily become a costly and irreversible mistake.
Understand Your Options
Do not appoint a Company Liquidator or a Voluntary Administrator until you understand your options and the process. Once you appoint a Company Liquidator or place your company into Voluntary Administration, the choices are no longer yours to make. The Liquidator's job is to work for your creditors and not for you. This may seem unfair when you consider that you are the one who appointed the Liquidator, but this is how Liquidation works.
Often the Director is the only one that receives little or no consideration or sound legal advice on his or her rights, options and potential liabilities. Tax debts for example, may become the Director's personal liability once a company liquidation has written off the tax. This applies if your ATO reporting is not up to date. Moreover, you may have personal guarantees such as leases etc. Many Company Liquidators will not explain this to you, as they are not interested in the Directors position and it is their duty to recover the best possible outcome for your creditors.
A1 Debt Assistance will explain and prepare you for, and explore the best possible solution with which to make the company liquidation process less painful wherever possible. After our consultation you will understand your rights, options and liabilities as a Company Director and we will determine whether you need to appoint a Liquidator or VA or if a voluntary bankruptcy would be more appropriate.
Company Liquidation does not have to be a bad experience, but if done for the wrong reasons or without your full understanding, the repercussions can be severe. Not every company can afford a Company Liquidation, but if you suspect you are trading insolvent, it is time you ask for help.
Exit Strategies
Company liquidation should not be taken lightly. It requires careful planning and you will need a professional exit strategy. A1 Debt Assistance will help you to understand the consequences of your actions and we will create an expert strategy and time line for you, thus minimising the personal stress and consequences caused by the Company Liquidation process.
Company Liquidation forms part of a legitimate business exit strategy, but like any strategy it is formed by a multitude of components which must work in harmony to deliver the best possible result. You can make a bad situation worse – get help and speak to A1 Debt Assistance to get an independent appraisal of your position.
Our Role
At A1 Debt Assistance, we don't perform Company Liquidations or Voluntary Administrations, but we understand the process and can advise you on the things you must consider before going ahead. We can offer our independent opinion and suggest a strategy to suit. We can co-ordinate and formulate the complete strategy and, most importantly, construct time lines for your organisation prior to you appointing a Liquidator or VA. Every good Company Liquidation strategy must be focussed on providing the maximum creditors return and looking after your employees interests.

Sorry fellows. I haven´t forgotten you, eventhough I haven´t written in English for a while, except in the chat room... So the docs finally found out what´s wrong with me and it´s cytomegalovirus. Because of all the meds I take, it didn´t go away by itself so I´m getting treatment for it now. They give me Cymevene-iv every 12 hrs for the next 2-3 weeks. If you could just see my arms and hands. All black. My veins are not so strong and they have to find a new place to get the iv in very often. Last time the fifth needle was gotten into right place. Tomorrow it´s probably another exploration for a vein that works.
A month has now passed with me being sick. Fever keeps still coming up and the cough hasn´t left. I guess this is another moment where patience is required. Should go to the pharmacy though to get some iron. My Hb is 96 which means I´m anemic.
My studies are on hold. Couldn´t have done anything for the past month. I´m left behind a lot. Some courses I have to start all over again, some I can catch the others by working hard. This was not my plan but when does things go the way I plan?
With this hospital visit I met a woman who has IBM. She is the first one around here I come across. I am so glad to get to know her. As many of you know, I have so many things to deal with at the moment and this woman has helped me a lot. She knows what I´m going through and she has been there crying and laughing with me. I would probably be crazy by now if she hadn´t been around.

The Owl Keeper (Hardcover)
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 9780385738149, 320pp.
Publication Date: April 13, 2010
Other Editions of This Title:
Paperback (4/5/2011)
Maxwell Unger has always loved the night. He used to do brave things like go tramping through the forest with his gran after dark. He loved the stories she told him about the world before the Destruction—about nature, and books, and the silver owls. His favorite story, though, was about the Owl Keeper.
According to Max's gran, in times of darkness the Owl Keeper would appear to unite owls and sages against the powers of the dark. Gran is gone now, and so are her stories of how the world used to be. Max is no longer brave. The forest is dangerous, the books Gran had saved have been destroyed, and the silver owls are extinct. At least that's what the High Echelon says. But Max knows better.
Maxwell Unger has a secret. And when a mysterious girl comes to town, he might just have to start being brave again.
The time of the Owl Keeper, Gran would say, is coming soon.

A must watch documentary that chronicles the impacts of drug normalization on youth, communities, and neighborhoods. We visited Colorado, California, and Washington to gain insight from a variety of community members on the consequences they have seen since marijuana legalization.
Big thanks to the students at Columbia High School for putting this together!
Studies show that students whose parents allowed them to drink at home and/or provided them with alcohol experienced the steepest escalation in drinking. "Other studies suggest that adolescents who are allowed to drink at home drink more heavily outside of the home." niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/parenting-prevent-childhood-alcohol-use
Your generous donation will fund our mission to create a drug-free culture within our workplaces, schools, and communities. We focus on preventing youth substance abuse, enriching families, and positively impacting our community.
Thank you for your support.

Jeremy Hunt's plan to stop us plundering the world for medics is a good start
The key to the future success of the NHS is staffing – having the right skills, in the right numbers, in the right place, at the right time. The Government rightly claims that we have more doctors working in the NHS than at any time in its history. But there is a problem: "more" does not mean "enough". The same is true of the nursing workforce; heavy dependency on overseas staff and agency nursing paints a picture of a hand-to-mouth existence not far short of chaos.
The situation is desperate. The London Ambulance Service has been to Australia to attract paramedics. One quarter of the medical workforce comes from overseas, often, iniquitously, from developing countries. Last year, agency spending topped £3.3 billion, including £1.2 billion on medical locums.
This problem will take time and money to fix.
Even if we wanted to, we can't keep plundering the world for medics. There is a worldwide shortage of doctors; the World Health Organisation puts it at two million. For too long it has been too easy for governments to turn a blind eye to our failure to train enough of our own doctors and nurses, and park the problems for another time. But those days are over. There are too many gaps in staffing rotas.
At last it looks as if the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, will try to get to grips with the problem.
He has already, controversially, moved to end nurse training bursaries. It sounds perverse but this may in fact solve part of the problem. For every nurse-training place the Government finds the money to fund, there are five applications. At a time when we are desperate for nurses, the result is that we turn away qualified applicants.
Putting nurse training on the same student-loan basis as other graduates seems no disincentive to apply. A new, non-commissioned, nurse-training course run by Lancaster Teaching Hospital saw 650 applicants, willing to take on student debt, for the first 25 places.
Presently, we only train 6,000 doctors a year. So Hunt's expected announcement today that the Government is committed to funding the training of up to an additional 1,500 students comes as welcome news. In an attempt to make England's NHS self-sufficient in workforce needs, the places will be available to domestic students only.
A premium will be charged for overseas students.
While this, too, makes sense, no one should be in any doubt that NHS workforce planning is excruciatingly complex. No one predicted the huge groundswell of demand that is swamping the NHS today. Shifts in the skill-mix needed to care for a changing demographic could never have been envisaged; nor the speed with which nurses have had to assimilate the skills and work previously thought of as the preserve of doctors. The move towards more services delivered in primary care and the huge increase in the demand for geriatric care has been unprecedented.
Moreover, and very significantly, half the medical workforce is now female. The natural interruption of careers, for many of them, to start a family creates gaps in the workforce. Maintaining skills and seniority becomes an issue for everyone to puzzle over. Jeremy Hunt's plans are to be welcomed, then, not least because they serve as an acknowledgement that we cannot carry on as we are.
But they come with a health warning; his changes will not kick in until 2018 and from there it might take seven years to train doctors in the basics. Moreover, the Health Secretary is gambling that the economy will pick up sufficiently to fund the training places and pay the wages of all these new medical staff. So, though it is the right prescription, he has not yet found a cure to NHS staffing ills.
A serious review of workforce training might be next. Should it really take seven years to become a doctor? Can we rebrand nursing and "upskill" healthcare assistants? What is the role of technology?
These are all questions still on Jeremy Hunt's to-do list.
Roy Lilley is former chairman of Homewood NHS Trust and vice-chairman of West Surrey and North East Hampshire Health Authority

The day after a jury found Michael Rosfeld not guilty of homicide in the shooting and killing of 17-year Antwon Rose II has brought mixed reactions.
The heads of two of the city's most powerful philanthropic institutions shared in the shock and outrage that brought people into the streets Friday night while an online fundraiser set up to help Rosfeld with legal fees thanked people for their support.
Rosfeld was charged with one count of homicide for killing Rose on June 19 as the teen ran from a felony traffic stop. Jurors spent less than four hours deliberating Friday before clearing him of any wrongdoing.
A rally that kicked off at Freedom Corner in the Hill District continued throughout Downtown Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon. Here are updates from the demonstrations.
• Rosfeld acquittal leaves a relieved wife in tears and a mother indignant
• Gunshots fired into Monroeville office of Rosfeld's lawyer
• Rosfeld's testimony appeared to sway jury, experts say
• Michael Rosfeld not guilty of homicide in killing of Antwon Rose II
5:41 p.m.
The rally has moved to Schenley Plaza in Oakland.

Earlier Saturday
"Mike was acquitted on all counts. We are beyond words in regards to the support we have received from the community. We truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts," a post on the Funded Justice page for Rosfeld read Saturday.
The fundraiser page appears to have been started by Rosfeld's wife, Michelle. The page has raised more than $17,000.
Maxwell King, president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, and Grant Oliphant, president of The Heinz Endowments, released a joint statement on the verdict Saturday.
"Pittsburgh now sadly joins a disturbing and ever-growing catalogue of cases across the United States where law enforcement or security officials have walked free after the killings of young black men under questionable circumstances," they wrote.
They asked if Rose would be alive today if he were white. They suspected he would be.
"America is strewn with too many examples of how the poor are betrayed, how African Americans are disfavored and how immigrants are abused. This only adds to the heartbreak and deep sense of injustice that now hangs heavy over our city," they wrote. "Pittsburgh now has the unwelcome notoriety of having its name added to a list of troubling incidents across America where the dispensing of justice has been less than convincing following the deaths of young black men. And there are questions that must be urgently addressed, locally and nationally, concerning police behavior, law enforcement recruitment and police officer training."

Pakistan Defence Minister ready to resign if PIA doesn't improve
Pakistan Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar admitted in the Senate yesterday that Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) was in a very bad shape but said honest collective efforts, not his resignation, would restore its health.
"I am ready to resign if that alone can improve the situation in PIA. Let me go as I have not been living on my salary as federal minister," he said, implicitly accepting the criticism that the airline was in precarious health because it was overstaffed with workers recruited without merit. But he said that since 2008 PIA had suffered a loss of Rs34 billion because of devaluation of the rupee.
During a debate on a motion moved by Col (retd) Tahir Hussain Mashhadi of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) seeking discussion on PIA's performance, a number of opposition senators demanded resignation of the minister if he could not run the PIA efficiently. Winding up the debate, Chuadhry Mukhtar said a restructuring plan had been sent to the finance ministry for approval and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had constituted a committee to suggest measures for improvement. He said his ministry had time and again sought financial help from the government, but had received only Rs3 billion in four years.
He disclosed that the present management had been paying a huge amount in interest on loans taken by the previous military government. The minister admitted that there had been overstaffing and said the airline's engineering section had 7,000 employees against a requirement of 3,000. This is just the tip of the iceberg though as it is also the case that some at PIA are being paid huge sums for no good reason.

A little bit of poetry on a sleepy Friday morning? Sure.
I once wrote about rain and skeletons. I asked for them back, but you can't get words back. Fingers twisted and crushed and words became noise and something to hold out of reach, just like a heavy heart. You can't get words back.
You can't get time back. You can't get back the first rose blush of love.
But that's good, because you don't want it back.
You want white flags and white doves and a red heart, more alive than hope. A heart dripping something so hot it burns through the floors of doubt in a house made of glass. So loud they can hear it in the street.
Do you want my white flags? Do you want my white doves so full of promise they can't get to the clouds fast enough? Do you want my red heart?
It's loud and hot and my doubt is crashing so hard I'm catching shards of shrapnel like shooting stars, and every wish is sitting six hundred miles away painting a red heart onto a white canvas.
I said I'd never give away words again, but you can have them all. No more glass houses, just your arms. Go paint our hearts on your canvas and give me every burning constellation you've got in your eyes.
Let's break every bit of glass in this place if it means making galaxies so bright I can't think of anything other than kissing you under the stars.

text: WARNING: This contains spoilers. Read at your own risk. As you may all know, Obito returned from the dead to give his eyes to Kakashi, enabling the latter to have a pair of sharingan. He also managed to save Sakura with his Susanoo in the previous chapter. The new chapter begins with an attack from Kakashi using his kamui shuriken. Kaguya then transports everyone to another dimension while creating a gigantic gudouma. Kakashi signals the other three to come up to him and discusses his strategies to defeat the rabbit granny. (As what Naruto called her lol) As Naruto and Sasuke advance to Kaguya, Kakashi tries to attack her from above but she is able to pierce him from there. Fortunately, Kakashi adopts the same technique of Obito where he can pass through things. Hence, he is not injured at all. At the same time, he uses his Kamui Raikiri against Kaguya who gets hit on her right arm. Sasuke and Naruto immediately show up from both sides, and without enough time, she tries to attack both of them but fails, and everything seems to go well according to their plan. Well, to make it short, Team 7 manage to corner Kaguya, and Sakura ends the chapter with her surprise attack from above. Now, will Sasuke and Naruto be able to seal her away? We gotta find out next week!

Liverpool continued their perfect start to the season after a goal in each half gave them a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Georginio Wijnaldum picked the ideal time to score his first away goal in the Premier League when he headed Liverpool into a 39th-minute lead before Roberto Firmino steered home a second soon after halftime to ensure Liverpool made it five wins from five.
Liverpool, behind Chelsea at the top of the table on goal differential, nearly kept a fourth clean sheet in five games but were denied by Erik Lamela in stoppage time.
Lamela's goal from a tight angle was deemed a mere consolation, though, as Tottenham slipped to consecutive league defeats for the first time since the final two games of the 2015-16 season, meaning they remain outside the top four.
"We were that good, it was difficult for Tottenham," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. "The performance today was better than the result. It was the best game of the season for us."
Determined to right the wrongs of their 4-1 defeat by Tottenham last season, Liverpool started quickly and Firmino had the ball in his net inside the first minute, only to be denied by the offside flag.
Harry Winks, making his first Premier League start since December, helped Spurs to calm the storm initially, but defensive mistakes allowed Liverpool to create openings.
Soon enough, Wijnaldum headed Liverpool in front from a corner, capitalising on a poor punch from goalkeeper Michel Vorm.
Spurs' best chance to get back into the contest came when Lucas Moura drove at the Liverpool defence, drilling against the foot of the post and giving Wembley hope that the tide had turned.
"When Lucas Moura hit the post, that was the key moment," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said. "Moments like this are when you can get confidence. This type of game shows we need to improve if we are going to be contenders."
Hope of a recovery vanished minutes later when Firmino was on hand to tap the ball home almost on the goal line.
Liverpool wasted chances to find a third goal and endured a nervy finish after Lamela scored in stoppage time but they saw out the victory that keeps them ahead of the chasing pack.

These Companies Are Deworsifying
Many companies, in an effort to continue growing, diversify into new businesses. Sometimes this makes sense, specifically when the new business is somewhat related to the mature core business. But often this diversification is nothing more than "deworsification," a term coined by legendary investor Peter Lynch. When a company expands into areas where it has no experience or advantages, it is guilty of deworsification.
Two companies which seem to be doing exactly that are Amazon.com and Intel .
The shotgun approach
Amazon originally started out as a bookseller, and eventually started to sell all sorts of things through its website. This diversification made sense, since the company's core competency was selling products online. But over the past few years, Amazon has been expanding into an array of different industries, and the company's complete lack of profitability should be troubling for investors.
In 2006, Amazon launched Amazon Web Services, a set of cloud services for websites and applications. This includes cloud-based storage, virtual machines which can run applications, and various database services, among other options. Amazon Web Services has grown extremely fast, and many large websites use the service. Examples are Pinterest, Reddit, Foursquare, Netflix, and Spotify, to name a few.
You could argue that because Amazon had to build the infrastructure to support its own website, the company has experience in this type of business. Indeed, web services make at least some sense for Amazon. What doesn't make much sense, though, is hardware.
Amazon makes both e-readers and tablets with the goal of selling content to customers using the devices. Prices are extremely low, and Amazon makes no money at all from selling the hardware. The only real money is in the high end, dominated by Apple and Samsung. Low-end manufacturers are left with razor-thin margins.
Recently, reports have surfaced that Amazon is working with HTC on a smartphone, presumably with the goal of making it even easier to buy products through Amazon. Another report, this one from the Wall Street Journal, states that Amazon will be selling a set-top box this holiday season. Another initiative is a new PayPal rival, Login and Pay with Amazon, which will allow shoppers to pay on third-party sites by logging into Amazon.
What exactly is the goal here? What is Amazon aiming to be? Certainly not a profitable company, that's for sure. Amazon has no advantages in hardware. Most set-top boxes, like the Roku for example, support every major video service, including Amazon, not to mention the game consoles. Unless Amazon plans to give this thing away for free, I don't see the point.
It seems that Amazon is getting into every low-margin business even remotely related to e-commerce. If the goal is to simply grow revenue, then mission accomplished. But there is no discernible path to profitability, and eventually Amazon needs to prove that it can actually make money. All of this deworsification makes that harder.
Revolutionizing TV?
When I first read that Intel was planning to revolutionize television with its own web TV service, I was baffled. As I read more about it, my state of bafflement only increased. It seems that Intel, which is the dominant chipmaker for PCs and servers and is just starting to break into the mobile processor space, decided that launching a TV service made sense.
Of course, the effort has so far gone nowhere. Intel has been unable to secure any major content deals, and now the company is seeking a partnership to get the service off the ground. Intel's core competency is semiconductor chips, and the company has no experience with media distribution. It amazes me that this idea got as far as it did.
Intel needs to dump the program and refocus on getting its chips into mobile devices. To some degree, this is already happening, as new CEO Brian Krzanich has slowed the TV efforts. This is the quintessential example of deworsification, and investors better hope that Intel hasn't wasted too much money on the effort.
The bottom line
When a company launches new initiatives in order to diversify, it's important for investors to make sure that the company is sticking to what it knows. Amazon getting into every business under the sun isn't going to lead to profitability, and Intel trying to "revolutionize TV" is only going to tarnish the company's image. When a company starts deworsifying, it may be a sign of desperation to grow revenue.
Maybe Intel won't do well in television, what about Netflix?
Americans reportedly spend nearly 34 hours a week watching television! With television viewing taking up almost as much time as the average work week, the potential for profits in the space is enormous. The Motley Fool's top experts have created a new free report titled "Will Netflix Own the Future of Television?"

Humvee manufacturer AM General paid $3 million at auction to purchase the U.S. Department of Energy's loan to Vehicle Production Group, a defunct maker of wheelchair-accessible vans that struggled to meet performance targets and shut down earlier this year.
Together with $5 million seized from the company's accounts in April, that means the DOE recovered just $8 million of the $50 million it loaned VPG back in March 2011 under a government program designed to promote advanced technology vehicles. VPG's plan was to sell handicapped vans that run on compressed natural gas.
Taxpayers also took a loss on the collapse of Fisker Automotive, which was awarded $529 million under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, but received only $193 million before the DOE cut them off for failing to meet performance targets.
While critics have blasted the Energy Department for its handling of the ATVM and other green loan programs, the DOE said losses represent a small fraction of its portfolio. "While an auction was not what anyone hoped, our overall portfolio of more than 30 projects remains strong. Cumulative losses represent about 2 percent of the portfolio, and less than ten percent of the $10 billion in loan loss reserves that Congress set aside for the programs," according to a statement from DOE spokesman Bill Gibbons.
"After exhausting any realistic possibility for a sale that might have protected our entire investment, the Department determined that auctioning the remainder of VPG's loan obligation offered the best possible recovery for the taxpayer. We are pleased that - consistent with the intent of the loan - AM General has committed to the continued production of these very popular, handicap-accessible, natural gas-powered fleet vehicles in Indiana. Their plant will continue operations, generating job opportunities for American workers and helping to establish a domestic manufacturing base for these advanced vehicles."
AM General, which had been producing the vans for VPG at its factory in Mishawaka, Ind., until last March, will now own and operate VPG through a new subsidiary called Mobility Ventures LLC. The company said it will use its position as senior lender to restructure VPG's assets and resume production, sales and development of the MV-1, which was designed specifically for wheelchair passengers.
AM General has built 2,200 MV-1 vans to date, selling them mostly to commercial fleet operators. Since VPG shut down operations last March, "demand for the MV-1 has only increased, with a backlog of 2,000 vehicles," said AM General spokesman Jeff Adams. "No one else is better positioned to build this vehicle," he said. "We've got the workers, and the suppliers are ready to go."
The MV-1 is available with a compressed natural gas fuel option, but the majority of sales are believed to be conventional gasoline-powered.

BUCHAREST (Romania), April 20 (SeeNews) - Romanian finance ministry analysts on Thursday maintained their January forecast for the country's 2017 real economic growth at 5.2%.
The National Prognosis Commission (CNP), an analyst unit within the finance ministry, said in a statement that Romania's gross domestic product (GDP) would total 815.2 billion lei ($194.6 billion/181.2 billion euro) in 2017. This compares to GDP of 761.5 billion lei in 2016.
Economic growth in 2017 will be backed by a more rapid increase - by 6.8% - in final household consumption, CNP said, revising its January forecast for a 6.7% rise.
Final household consumption rose 7.4% in 2016, according to data from the country's statistical office, INS.
The CNP also expects agriculture to grow by 1.9%, services by 5.3%, construction by 5% and industry by 6% in 2017. These figures compare with January forecasts of 1.9% advance in agricultural output, 5.2% rise in services, 6% growth in construction and 6% growth in industry.
Exports of goods and services are expected to grow by 5.6% in 2017, while imports are seen increasing by 8.5%, according to the latest CNP projections.
Romania's trade balance for 2017 is expected to show a deficit of 11.55 billion euro ($12.4 billion), the CNP said.
The country's trade gap widened by 27% on the year to an estimated 1.259 billion euro ($1.34 billion) in the first two months of 2017, INS said earlier. Exports and imports rose by 9.2% and 10.9% year-on-year, respectively, in the period January-February 2017.
CNP expects that unemployment rate will edge down to 5.7% in 2017 from 5.9% in 2016. Romania's unemployment rate was 5.4% in February, unchanged from the previous month, INS data showed.
The finance ministry analysts left unchanged their economic growth forecasts for the next three years compared to their January projection - at 5.5% for 2018, and 5.7% for 2019 and 2020 each.
The figures largely comply with the 2017 budget, which is based on projections for 5.2% economic growth and envisages a deficit equivalent to 2.99% of GDP under the European System of Accounts (ESA) standards.
The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) latest forecast for Romania's economic growth published on Tuesday is more pessimistic than the government's expectations. Romania's real GDP growth is projected to reach 4.2% in 2017 before it decelerates to 3.4% in 2018, the IMF said in the April edition of its World Economic Outlook (WEO).

Link Wray had ties to the Washington, DC, area, where I grew up. I learned about him as my playing in a high-school punk band led me to the ripe Rockabilly scene in the DC area in the 1970s.
Hearing his very simple, but growlingly powerful tune "Rumble" for the first time remains a powerful moment in my life.

I love the Dr Seuss books and this morning I saw a great Lorax tweet which pretty much sums up my view of education and how we care about our children….particularly the lost and the vulnerable who often end up in our PRU!
And we do have to care….because if WE don't the power brokers, the vested interests, the corporate movers and shakers will airbrush caring out of the system and will replace it with their own world view which is costed down to the last penny ; I see it happening now, in all our caring services, and not least in education!
And strength comes in numbers…banding together to face down inappropriate testing, forced academisation, ridiculous curriculum changes and anything else that the 'great and the good' deem we have to accept….if we don't stand firm then we will have lost precious, irreplaceable freedoms to do what is best for our children. It is the children who matter and it is for them we have to say no, this isn't right and act together.
In my PRU the stakes are getting higher and we are now full of permanent exclusions. However exclusions are still happening and pupils who should come to us are having part time or no home tuition depending on parental views….not every parent wants a stranger in their home, even one delivering education, and not every child can access this in their home as it may not be the right place. And why is this happening? Because the provision has been cut and cut and, sadly, we are a 32 place unit serving over 150 primary schools in our area.
Of course we offer early intervention to our schools and do our best to keep in as many children as we can in mainstream through one to ones, training, advice and support, SEN consultations….you name it we do it…and we are jolly good at it! Alas, we are losing this funding from September and have to earn it back through a complex system of recording and reporting to the LA. No one knows how it will work in practice…a familiar tale…and if it doesn't work we are heading for disaster in terms of viability, staffing and budgetary forward planning; not one school I have spoken to supports it but, nevertheless, it is going ahead and we just have to get on with it! More so because our vulnerable children on the fringes need us to make it work for all our sakes!
Gone are the days when we can pass the buck to someone else if we have a problem in school with a child….there IS no one else! We have to be proactive and solution focused and, sorry schools, but you will have to pay if you want our help! And if your overstretched, tightly squeezed budgets can't afford it, well, exclusion is still free. And here we go in a circle….back to our full unit…and children sitting at home, uneducated, because they may have undiagnosed SEN which underlies their challenging behaviours….we'll never know unless they come to us or a mainstream takes a chance on them….and we all ride round on the merrygoround of failure and despair! Still if we save a few quid…a few more councillors get their expenses paid….the government can claim austerity is working…we are all in it together after all!
So who is going to stand up for our lost and forgotten? Me and you, and you…and you! Listen to advice, accept help….try and make it work for every child in your classes! Don't just throw your hands up and say nothing can be done or wait for the head to press the exclude button when it all spirals out of control! Get in touch with your local AP provider or PRU, your SEND team, any known independent consultants who are tried and tested…permanent exclusion should be the last resort.
And if it comes to that, can you, hand on heart, look at yourself in the mirror and say you tried everything for that child? Some children need to be in a small, specialist setting and will thrive there but an EHC Plan (statement) is needed to get them to the right place…a PRU is strictly short stay! It is not an easy task but you CAN do it!
Well..OK. ..maybe not that much…but your mindset needs to be firmly focused on success! You can make a difference!

About Midfield General
Not just another big beat act invading the LP realm a couple of years too late, Midfield General is the recording alias of Skint label boss Damian Harris. A prime architect of the sound of big beat, Harris grew up listening first to punk, then hip-hop, and finally acid house. He then moved to Brighton to study art, eventually taking work as a DJ while promoting clubs around the city. In 1994, his music knowledge landed him a job at Loaded Records, where former Housemartins member Norman Cook -- a friend of Harris' since his days working at the Rounder store in Brighton -- recorded as Pizzaman.
Harris and Cook's mutual vision brought about Cook's first single as Fatboy Slim, "Santa Cruz." After releases by Arthur and Hip Optimist (aka Andy Barlow, later of Lamb), Harris debuted his own Midfield General project in 1994 with "Worlds/Bung." Skint finally went overground with Cook's "Everybody Needs a 303." Almost overnight, the label became famous around Great Britain as ground zero for the full-on collision between acid house mayhem, old school rap attitude, and hook-heavy sampladelic trip-hop that was later dubbed big beat, after the Skint club night, Big Beat Boutique, held at Brighton's Concorde. Releases by Req, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Hardknox, and Lo Fidelity Allstars cemented the catalog, and after Fatboy Slim's second album, You've Come a Long Way Baby, became an international phenomenon, Harris inaugurated a global deal with Sony. Taking the bulk of a year off from the office to concentrate on recording, he finally released his debut album, Generalisation, in 2000. Harris also mixed the third volume in Skint's On the Floor at the Boutique series and sought out additional studio work, even serving as executive producer for Justice's crossover single ""D.A.N.C.E." He then returned to his own work, releasing General Disarray in September 2008. ~ John Bush

"Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living"
by Pema Chodron
Summary: Start Where You Are is a handbook for awakening a compassionate heart and choosing love over fear. Beginning the healing process from the inside out, Pema Chodron offers an easily accessible shift in perspective. By starting where we are right now, we can begin accepting rather than denying the painful aspects of our lives. Chodron frames her teachings with traditional Buddhist slogans, such as: "always meditate on whatever provokes resentment," and "always apply only a joyful state of mind." Using these slogans as mental mantras, combined with meditation, we can all develop the courage to sit and work with our inner pain and discover the joy and confidence that already lies within.
Why I love It: I love this book because the teachings are simple and Chodron's writing reflects her light-hearted and humorous approach to life. As I read, I became more aware of my mental patterns, and within that awareness healing began to occur as I shifted from negative self talk to kind and supportive ways of thinking. I found a new way of being within myself and in the world. I love this book because its practices brought more joy, fearlessness, and self love into my life and that's what inspired me to share it with you!
Recommended For: Everyone – I believe we can ALL use more compassion in our lives. Whether things are great at the moment or you're going through something that feels too big to handle, compassion helps us find ease within ourselves and as we move through the world. It begins within. Start where you are. Choose love over fear. Simple. Wise. True. This book is all of these things and more. I invite you to explore its teachings and see how they resonate with you. Begin with an open heart and see where it takes you. Enjoy!
"Start Where You Are is a short book, but one worth taking your time with and chewing on. It's also worth re-reading. It's a great introduction to traditional Buddhist slogans or lojong, yet accessible and relevant whatever your other beliefs may be."

Refuge Receives Last Donation
The Alton Exchange Club members wrote their last check to a local nonprofit at their final meeting. After serving the Alton area, they finally decided it was time to shut down their doors. For their final meeting, the group invited Erin Bickle, Executive Director of the local nonprofit, Refuge to speak and handed her a check for $6,000.
"Our mission has always been to look out for our youth, that includes ensuring they have a safe environment to learn and grow up in, and that's why we were really impressed with the work Refuge does in our community," said Roger Queen, Alton Exchange Club President. "After reading about Refuge in the newspaper, I knew it was a worthwhile program and we had to help them out."
Back in 1976 the National president of The Exchange Club created a cause called, "Prevention of Child Abuse," and setup centers throughout the United States to work with families in need.
"My eyes filled up with tears as they handed me the check," said Bickle. "Their dedication in making sure the youth are looked after and have a safe environment to thrive in motivates me even more to do the work we do, and that's to keep children in a healthy environment."
Bickle says we typically parent how we were parented until we learn a different way. The Refuge program helps break that cycle with their weekly child/family therapy sessions and the ten week parent education classes.
"We've been serving the Alton area for more than 90 years, so it's sad to close our doors, however, learning about programs like Refuge makes us realize the community will continue some of the most important values the Exchange Club represents, and that's looking after our youth," said Queen.
Refuge is located at the Riverbend Family Ministries office downtown Wood River at 131 E. Ferguson Ave. If you, or someone you know is interested in their services, call (618) 251-9790.
Build a Refuge Golf Scramble
Refuge is hosting their 2nd Annual Golf Scramble on Friday, September 29th at Belk Park Golf Course. The registration deadline is Friday, September 22.
The four-person team entry is $300 and includes range balls, dinner following play, five drink tickets, golf carts and opportunity to win raffle prizes.
"I'm so thankful to have a board that works as hard as they do, they did such an amazing job organizing last year's golf scramble, we decided to do it again," said Refuge Executive Director, Erin Bickle. "We're expecting to have even more teams sign up this year."
Sponsorship levels are: Event Sponsor ($1,000), Dinner Sponsor ($500), Beverage Cart Sponsor ($250) and Hole Sponsor ($100). Sponsor's banner/sign will be used if available. If banner/sign is unavailable, organizers will obtain small signs. Larger signs for event sponsors will be provided by sponsors.
Participants interested in registering for a team, or becoming a sponsor can contact Emileigh Ziebka at (618) 558-3465 or by email, email@example.com.
Proceeds from the golf outing benefits Refuge, which is a self-funded nonprofit. Refuge is a nonprofit that serves children and families in Madison County who've been exposed to childhood abuse. They help address and prevent childhood abuse and violence exposure with therapy and training.
