Las Vegas entertainment scandals!
Monti Rock III
Las Vegas scandals! Tragedy, trauma and trysts! For 50 years the Tropicana's stage had the Follies Bergere as their main attraction. Where have all those feathers gone?
I miss them – the show girls – the male dancers – the glorious image of Las Vegas.
Robert Goulet – a singer's singer – a man who resounded on Broadway first as Sir Lancelot and then years later returned as King Arthur in the revival of "Camelot." Who remembers the day this icon passed from our lives?

Where were you when Danny Gans passed away – or have you forgotten this uber-talented gentleman?
Siegfried and Roy. Roy Horn was mauled by one of his trusted tigers. What a spectacularly tenacious man Mr. Horn is – to go to the brink – fight it all – and come back as a functioning man again! Do you remember?
My great friend, Bill Moore, who passed away a year ago, was a West End of London chorus boy who became a legendary Las Vegas producer. He broke the lines with his Nudes On Ice review – a man whose vision and heart never stopped and who always had an ear for those around him. A gentle giant – I miss him so much!
Cirque's Ka remains closed pending the findings of OSHA. They are still in the midst of investigating the accident that claimed the life of dancer/acrobat Sara Guillot-Guyard. The show, as per one of the cast members, is very dangerous all the time. Ka is scheduled to re-open in about a week.
Michael Jackson One, the collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, is currently at its permanent home in the Mandalay Bay Theater. It is a tremendous hit, not only because of the great choreography and MJ's presence, but it has also brought Cirque back to what it does best. There is so much great staging going on, yet it does not take away anything from the Michael Jackson mystique. Michael is there watching all.
Frank Marino and Alex Schechter are now officially engaged after Alex proposed to Frank last week on stage during the Divas show at the Quad. Frank is also about to build a new home on Sahara Ave., near Buffalo Dr. Actual wedding plans will be finalized pending the outcome of the gay marriage situation in Nevada.
Speaking of weddings, Halle Berry will marry French actor Olivier Martinez in Paris. Olivier is the father of Halle's unborn baby. Let's hope this marriage is for keeps.
Criss Angel performed his 2,000th show last week and I'm now preparing for his fifth anniversary of Believe in October. He has some sensational new, never before seen, illusions in the works. He also has a new Spike TV series that he is taping. There is no stopping this man.
Drag has become an incredible art form, according to Wade McCollum, one of the stars of the touring Broadway hit – "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." There is a tremendous amount of serious work in the transformation from male to flamboyant female. Marino and Jimmy Emerson, among others, will attest to that.
Comedians Louie Anderson and Gallagher open new shows in town. Louie begins an open run at the Plaza and Gallagher holds forth at the Laugh Factory Club at the Tropicana. This town is great for veteran comics.
Add two more good shows to the list of recent or imminent closings. Peepshow will end Sept. 1 despite being a box office hit and Priscilla – Queen of the Desert will cease at The Venetian at the end of July, instead of Aug. 18, since ticket sales have fallen below expectations.
Patrons at Casa di Amore were treated to an impromptu performance by the great Steve Lawrence last week. He got up during dinner and sang a few Sinatra favorites. Of course he brought the house down.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Newton spent $5 million for an additional 10-plus acres of real estate near their new mansion in Las Vegas. It includes a wine cellar and a movie theater. Part of this property was purchased from Norbert Aleman, producer of Crazy Girls and many other hits.
The fires at Carpenter and Kyle Canyons are a terrible thing, but thankfully are getting closer to being contained. We usually don't appreciate humidity here in the summer, but we need some right now. Some 800 firefighters plus helicopters and tanker planes are dumping thousands of gallons of water/fire retardants, but the hot dry air is helping to feed those flames.
Kyle Canyon homes are in danger of being destroyed and we have already lost six structures on Mt. Charleston.
Our prayers and good wishes go out to country music superstar Randy Travis as heart failure due to a viral infection has weakened his heart to the point where doctors had to implant a booster devise to help keep his blood flowing. There is a strong possibility he will need a heart transplant.
I can really relate to this as I had a similar situation last year. Rest and great medical care were instrumental to my recovery. I still see my respiratory specialist and cardiologist on a regular basis. We hope the booster implant will help Randy!

Airlines are making money selling everything but tickets
Sat, Nov 14, 2020 - 4:33 PM
David Fickling
Singapore Airlines' S$8.8 billion rights issue in June represents the biggest raising of additional equity by any airline in history.
[SINGAPORE] With hopes that their season in hell could be approaching an end, airline stocks are on a tear.
Shares in Singapore Airlines jumped the most in 21 years on Tuesday while those in Cathay Pacific Airways were up the most since 2008 after Singapore and Hong Kong announced the opening of a travel bubble starting Nov 22.
News of successful trials of a Pfizer and BioNTech coronavirus vaccine pushed the Bloomberg World Airlines Index up 9.7 per cent Monday in anticipation of an ebbing tide of pandemic.
The cavalry better come quickly. Right now, much of the industry is running short of rations.
With traffic down 73 per cent from a year earlier in September - and international flights running at just 12 per cent of their levels a year ago - the usual path for companies to bring in cash by eking out a margin on their revenue is still blocked.
That could remain the case well into next year, given the likely bottlenecks to producing and distributing vaccines in quantities sufficient to reopen international travel.
Still, there's more than one way to provision your army.
If you can't sell plane tickets, you can still try everything else that's not nailed down.
The first thing companies try to sell in a crisis are bits of paper. Airlines have issued US$88 billion in bonds so far in 2020, more than half of the US$153 billion that the industry sold over the previous four decades put together, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Throw in the value of loans taken out and airlines' total debt is up by US$124 billion since the end of February, the data show.
It's a similar picture on the equity side.
Japan Airlines last week announced plans to raise as much as US$1.6 billion by issuing shares equivalent to about a third of the existing register.
The US$27 billion in new shares issued by the industry as a whole this year is equivalent to all the cash raised through that route over the previous six years put together.
In aggregate, all the new debt and equity sold by the world's carriers this year amounts to nearly two-thirds of the US$241 billion that the International Air Transport Association expects the industry to collect in passenger revenue through the whole year.
Companies that own fleets of high-value transport equipment have other ways to get cash, too.
EasyJet raised US$170 million this month from the sale and leaseback of 11 of its planes to aircraft leasing companies. Air Canada last month took in US$365 million from a similar move, and Wizz Air and United Airlines have done the same.
The fundraising effort has been titanic.
Compare the revenue of some of the world's largest airlines in the most recent quarter with their cashflows from finance and investing, minus the capital expenditure that airlines usually have to commit well in advance, and you can see the picture clearly: Typically airlines should see cash outflows from finance and investing offset with an inflow from operating activities.
That's what you have with Chinese carriers, which have returned to some semblance of normality in recent months with the suppression of Covid-19.
Elsewhere in the world, however, working the balance sheet has often been bringing in more money than selling transport services.
You might regard that flexibility as a hopeful sign - but as we've argued, a miserable third quarter is likely to lead to a grim winter for airlines.
Chances are there's far more to come in terms of bankruptcies and restructuring. Getting the industry out from under its Covid-induced debt load could take the best part of a decade.
Furthermore, while demand for tickets from air passengers is more or less an inexhaustible resource, there are only so many assets that a carrier can sell and lease back before it runs out.
The orgy of bond and stock issuance this year is also likely to be leading to sharply diminishing appetites among creditors and shareholders.
In spite of the slump in share prices, investors still show a surprising amount of enthusiasm for airlines. If only passengers felt the same way.

The movie performed better than day 1 at the Indian box office on its day 2 of its release. The movie minted close to Rs 16 crores nett and the gross amount is Rs 22.4 crores. Thus the movie collected Rs 5.5 crores more on day 2 when compared to the first day collections in the Indian markets.
The total two days collections of 'Kaabil' at the Indian box office are close to Rs 26.5 crores nett and the gross amount is Rs 37.1 crores. Thus the movie is inching towards Rs 50 crores gross at the Indian box office and it was expected to reach 50 crore mark with third-day collections.
After collecting $500k on the first day at the overseas box office, the film was expected to mint between $400k to $700k on the second day of its release in the International markets.
The total 2 days overseas collections of 'Kaabil' are estimated to be between Rs 900k to $1200k.
The total two days worldwide collections of 'Kaabil' are close to Rs 43.1 to 45.5 crores gross. It was a decent opening at the ticket window for 'Kaabil' movie compared to recent movie's of Hrithik Roshan.
Going by the trend, the movie can collect above Rs 100 crores gross in its final run at the ticket window. So let's wait and see how it performs in its forthcoming days at the ticket window.

Son and Moon
With an upbringing immersed in creativity, designer, maker, crafter and artist Jesse Ede has been surrounded by design and art for as long as he can remember. Drawn to more natural materials, Ede's main focus is to be completely unique and not fit into any particular aesthetic. This sense of originality is heavily prevalent in his numerous collections of lunar-themed art and fixtures, particularly the "Orbit" collection.
An evolution from his first light piece called "Eclipse," "Orbit" is inspired by the "beautiful movement of the galaxy's moons around their planets," according to Ede. The piece features elegant metals like bronze and brass that add a dimension of color and texture to the moon-like piece.
Ede prefers to "capture the rough nature of organic surfaces," he says, manipulating them to expose the contrast between the material itself and the man-made processes that form them into sculptures. Ultimately, he looks to celebrate the rawness of uncontrollable outcomes, from processes that are uncommonly used.
Much of his life has been spent in workshops and studios, allowing him to naturally acquire a vast range of skills. "My father was an artist and carpenter, so I grew up in and around his studio from a very young age," says Ede. "I often feel as though I was born to do this, as though it was entirely predetermined for me."
Though he spent eight years traveling and working, even spending some time as a carpenter for an Antiguan boat-building, much of Ede's main inspiration comes from space and the universe, as well as looking to nature itself.
"It's so tempting to draw your inspiration from other artists' work, but I discovered at a young age, the natural world itself provides all the inspiration you could ever need, and you never run the risk of looking like one-of-many," he says.
With an assortment of other moon-themed pieces, including a new cantilevered bronze and stone coffee table entitled "Venus," Ede continues to work and display his strength in creativity.

Inevitably, something will happen to your furniture as it undergoes heavy use and wear and tear.
It's important to be prepared to "quick-fix" your furniture in the event that something happens to it.
Read your owner's manuals for suitable cleaning products and methods so that you can react quickly to spills and stains. Learn more about fabric cleaning codes.
Keep wax and stain pens on hand to fill in scratches on your wood furniture.
And for removing heat and moisture stains from tables? Mix a little elbow grease with mineral spirits or try a rewaxing.
Sometimes furniture damage is beyond your own home repair. The next best thing is to call your retailer or check your warranty. Many furniture purchases include add-ons for repairs if the damage falls under the warranty.
If you need to hire furniture repair services, do a local search for a highly recommended company. Trust organizations that are willing to do services on-site so that you're not responsible for moving large furniture pieces to their facility. It's also better to choose companies that specialize in a particular service. For example, someone that focuses primarily on leather furniture is likely to have more expertise than someone who offers services on "all" furniture repairs. Furthermore, if the craftsman can demonstrate other work—like making leather furniture, for example—you know he is well versed in the product and methods.

In this 2016 photo provided by Beverly Amick, her father Mal Osborn, 92, of Winston-Salem, N.C., wears a treasured 1952 letter jacket from the University of Maine, which he earned as a track athlete, while posing at a Master's swim tournament where he won multiple gold medals. He lost the jacket in October, and with the help of a post online, it was found and returned to him. (Beverly Amick via AP)
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — More than 60 years after Mal Osborn earned a varsity letter jacket from the University of Maine as a track runner, he still wore it. That is, until the 92-year-old lost it in October.
Osborn, who has lived in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, since 1964, told his daughter Beverly Amick that he couldn't find the treasured jacket, the Bangor Daily News reported on Monday. Amick and other relatives retraced Osborn's usual routes on the assumption that he'd placed the jacket on his car and it had fallen off while he was driving.
When they failed to find it, Amick posted a photo of Osborn on Facebook wearing the jacket at a Master's swimming competition in 2016 and asked for help finding it.
"I appreciate all the kindness and compassion that was shown during the last 24 hours. This experience is certainly a positive event to finish out 2020," she wrote on Facebook after the jacket had been found.

Coronavirus: Govt set to release 'contact tracking' app which detects nearby virus carriers
The app, which will operate on an opt-in basis, will be released either just before or just after the lockdown is lifted.
Rowland Manthorpe
Technology correspondent @rowlsmanthorpe

Image: The contact tracking app will operate on an opt-in basis
The government is preparing to release an app which alerts people if they come too close to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, Sky News can reveal.
The contact tracking app, which will operate on an opt-in basis, will be released either just before or just after the lockdown is lifted, according to several people with close knowledge of the project.
NHS bosses hope the app will attract more than 50% of the population, as large numbers of people using it together will be necessary for it to work effectively.
Isle of Wight police bring gifts to NHS staff
The existence of the app, which was first revealed by Health Service Journal, has been known some time, but key technical details have only recently been agreed by NHSX, the NHS England innovation unit leading the project.
The app will detect other phones in close vicinity using short-range Bluetooth signals, then store a record of those contacts on the device, the sources say.
If someone tests positive for COVID-19, they will be able to upload those contacts, who can then be alerted - after a suitable delay, to avoid accidentally identifying an individual - via the app.
This method means data is not sent regularly to a central authority, potentially easing concerns around privacy, which NHSX fears may slow adoption of the app.

NHSX plans to appoint an Ethics Board to oversee the project, with board members to be identified over the coming weeks.
However, privacy campaigners and data protection advocates questioned whether any board of this kind would be independent, and raised concerns about the app's safeguards.
Last week, a group of "responsible technologists" published an open letter to the CEO of NHSX and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care warning that "location and contact tracking technology could be used as a means of social control".
Coronavirus UK tracker: How many cases are in your area – updated daily
Sky News understands this letter was published in response to the early phase of the development of the app, which was originally intended to be used during the "containment" phase of the government's response to the pandemic.
One source who witnessed work on the app during this period described it as a "hot mess" run by "a hodge-podge of suppliers and contractors" with "no clear voices in the room speaking to the privacy implications of the technology they were using."
Another said: "The initial brief was to take what was going on around the world and say, 'What is the British version of that?' But it didn't really feel like that was happening."
NHSX insiders argue that this was an inevitable consequence of a team working at breakneck speed, during a period when the strategy in Downing Street was changing rapidly.
In order to reassure the privacy community, NHSX held an online meeting yesterday with a group of NGOs, including some of the signatories of the open letter.
Tech firms help to make ventilators
"We could be using tech to augment and improve human processes, rather than, or as well as, creating a shiny new app," one attendee told Sky News.
"That wasn't something discussed on the call."
Yet although attendees praised the unit's openness to scrutiny, some were concerned that major questions - such as how to deal with the large numbers of over-55s without smartphones - were still not yet answered, which could hamper the effectiveness of the project.
Image: One major question was how to deal with the large numbers of over-55s without smartphones
In recent weeks, development of the app has been taken over by Pivotal, a subsidiary of American software giant VMware, which has focused on building an app that works using Bluetooth.
This is the second big American firm to be handed a significant NHS contract, after Sky News reported last week that NHSX had hired controversial Silicon Valley giant Palantir to build a "data store" in order to track the movement of critical staff and materials around the health and social care system.
Using smartphones for contact tracing has become commonplace across the world, to differing degrees of invasiveness.
The UK version follows the example set by TraceTogether, a Bluetooth-powered app used in Singapore, which has been downloaded more than 800,000 times, and helped the city-state substantially suppress its coronavirus outbreak.

The Irish government is reportedly building an app with a similar model.
By contrast, South Korea has broadcast details of infected people's age, gender and most recent location to anyone within 100 metres via text message.
Asked about this by Parliament's Health and Social Care Committee, Professor Chris Whitty, chief medical officer for England, said such a system could be used to attack people, for instance on social media.

"As a doctor, I am very against giving any patient-identifiable information, and for that reason we should also be careful, so I am not in favour of going down to street level or, 'You are within 100 metres of coronavirus'," Professor Whitty told the committee.
"That is the wrong approach for this country."
Sky News revealed earlier this month that mobile network O2 was working with the government to track movement of people using anonymised smartphone location data.
Sky News understands a number of contact tracking apps are being worked on across government, but the app being built by NHSX does not use this kind of data.

Gov. Edwards, LDH Unveil Economic Impact of Medicaid Expansion
Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards and Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) Secretary Dr. Rebekah Gee touted a report from Dr. Jim Richardson of the Public Administration Institute at Louisiana State University (LSU) highlighting the economic impact of Medicaid expansion. The report, released today, shows that Medicaid expansion, the federal/state health care program that provides health coverage for individuals with income less than 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, is leveraging an infusion of $1.85 billion in federal funds to create or retain nearly 19,200 jobs and support nearly $3.6 billion in economic activity for the state of Louisiana.
"In Louisiana, Medicaid expansion is saving $317 million that we are able to invest in other priorities, but most importantly, it is saving lives," said Gov. Edwards. "Improving health outcomes in Louisiana so we can have a productive workforce has been our goal, but this report further suggests that Medicaid expansion gives a big boost to our economy. For too long, the people of Louisiana were sending their tax dollars to Washington without seeing any benefits here at home. Those days are over, and this report shows us what's possible when we make important investments like expansion in our people."
The report, Medicaid Expansion and the Louisiana Economy, shows that:
This large federal contribution, $1.85 billion, represents an infusion of federal spending in Louisiana that would not have occurred if the state had not accepted Medicaid expansion.
This infusion of federal funds is creating or supporting 19,195 jobs across the state of Louisiana.
In addition to having a positive impact on Louisiana's job market, Medicaid expansion is leveraging the federal funds into $3.57 billion of economic activity, which includes $3.48 billion in business activity, $103.2 million in state tax receipts, and $74.6 million in local tax receipts.
A summary of the report is available here. The full report is available by clicking here.
The Office of the Governor prepared district-specific information for both the Louisiana House and Louisiana Senate. That information is available by clicking here.
"Two years ago, when we announced Medicaid expansion, we said this would give more people access to health care coverage; we said it would save the state money; and we said expansion would boost the economy," said Dr. Gee. "We have fulfilled all three of these promises. I am proud of this news as it demonstrates how one important policy change can have so many benefits. We will continue to build upon this work to improve both the financial health of the State and the physical health of our residents."
"Our analysis focused on net new dollars that would not have been spent in Louisiana were it not for Medicaid Expansion," said Dr. Richardson. "We found that new federal spending in Louisiana that would not have otherwise occurred has positively affected every region of the state. This is comparable to any other major injection of spending in the state that had not occurred in the past. This new spending is spread across all healthcare providers including hospitals, outpatient care, pharmaceuticals, physicians and other professionals, other medical services, and the administration of the program."
Prior to expanding Medicaid, the state of Louisiana would spend approximately 40 cents on the dollar for uninsured care. However, under expansion, the state of Louisiana will never spend more than 10 cents on the dollar.

You Are What Your Mother Eats
News May 25, 2018 | Original Story by Tracy Brawley for Oregon Health & Science University.
Credit: Pixabay.
For years, pregnant mothers have questioned their nutritional habits: "Will eating more cause my baby to be overweight?" Or, "I'm eating for two, so it won't hurt to have an extra serving, right?"
While many factors, such as the age of the mother, overall health and genetics ultimately play a role, the correlation between a mother's nutrition habits and metabolism has been proved to directly impact the growth of her child. And researchers at OHSU in Portland, Oregon, believe they may be one step closer to knowing why.
In a study published online in Nature Communications, the research team, led by Jae W. Lee, Ph.D., has demonstrated that two neurons key to growth and metabolism -- GHRH and AgRP -- are developmentally interconnected.
Located in the hypothalamus region of the brain, within a grouping of neurons known as the arcuate nucleus, GHRH, or growth hormone-release hormone, neurons orchestrate body growth and maturation. Meanwhile, AgRP, or Agouti-related peptide, neurons stimulate feeding and suppress energy usage.
To understand how these neurons are developed, the research team cataloged various proteins expressed in the arcuate nucleus of mice and analyzed their overall function.
"We found that one specific protein called DLX1 is critical for GHRH neuron development. However, it also suppresses the development of the AgRP neuron," said Lee, a professor of pediatrics in the OHSU School of Medicine and OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. "When DLX1 was removed, the mouse's growth was stunted, yet it appears obese."
Additionally, DLX1 was found to suppress the development of OTP-labeled cells that become AgRP neurons. This would suggest normal growth development, but limited blockage of energy use, resulting in a trim figure.
"For the first time, these findings prove the intimate relationship between GHRH and AgRP neurons in developmental lineage. Further, our results provide a proof of concept that the development of both neurons can be artificially preset in controlling postnatal growth," Lee said.
The researchers now are working to determine if DLX1 may be controlled by diet. By testing both high-fat and low-protein – or malnourished – diets in mice, Lee hopes to identify how food impacts a baby's genetic makeup in the womb. This could scientifically support the idea that 'you are what your mother eats.'

i have setup successfully a cluster (ASYNC, ATTRIBUTE, SET_AND_NON_PRIMITIVE_GET) using jbosscache tree.
the replication runs well but my session timeout out to early, about 20 minutes, and i want it to exist 24 hours.
but sesssion still time out at a random amount of minutes from 15 to 30m.
i test to change the value to 86400 as some forums says that the session is setup in seconds.
i try to change the default session timeout in tomcat with no success.
Anny idea? is there something to configure in jbosscache that could mark the session has expired?

Q: How to use for_each with iterator in dynamic block in Terraform? I am trying to do this basically:
module "california" {
  source = "./themodule"
  # ...
}

module "oregon" {
  source = "./themodule"
  # ...
}

resource "aws_globalaccelerator_endpoint_group" "world" {
  # ...
  dynamic "endpoint_configuration" {
    for_each = [
      module.california.lb,
      module.oregon.lb
    ]
    iterator = lb
    content {
      endpoint_id = lb.arn
      weight = 100
    }
  }
}

# themodule/main.tf
resource "aws_lb" "lb" {
  # ...
}

output "lb" {
  value = aws_lb.lb
}

I am outputting lb from a submodule in Terraform, and trying to use that in the parent module in a for_each array, with a custom iterator name. It is giving me this error:
This object does not have an attribute named "arn".

But it DOES have that attribute, it's an aws_lb. What am I doing wrong in the usage of this for_each and module setup, and how do I fix it? Thank you very much!

*

*https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/terraform-0-12-rich-value-types/
If I change it to this it seems to work:
resource "aws_globalaccelerator_endpoint_group" "world" {
  listener_arn = aws_globalaccelerator_listener.world.id

  endpoint_configuration {
    endpoint_id = module.california.lb.arn
    weight = 100
  }
}

A: From the docs:

The iterator object (setting in the example above) has two attributes:
key is the map key or list element index for the current element. If the for_each expression produces a set value then key is identical to value and should not be used.
value is the value of the current element.

Based on that, in the content, you should used lb.value["arn"], as per example. Thus, the following could be tried:
    content {
      endpoint_id = lb.value["arn"]
      weight = 100
    }

INDUSTRIAL HISTORY OF SLOVENIA
Slovenia was considered a part of the agricultural periphery of the Habsburg Empire for centuries. However, wherever economic potential became apparent between the Alps and the Adriatic, Austria's rulers, or entrepreneurs flush with capital, were on the spot and established local, productive trade and industrial locations. The "Iron Barons" exploited the ore deposits in the Sava Valley starting from the Middle Ages. The forges specialized in nails, from small tacks for footwear to long spikes for dam construction. However, the Slovenian export in greatest demand was quicksilver from Idrija. By the 18th century, the mines and smelters, in operation since 1509, had become the world's largest quicksilver producer. At about the same time, Hrastnik on the Sava witnessed the emergence of glass manufacturing, an industry that still flourishes today, in addition to the coal mines.
Also at this time, the Habsburgs developed Trieste into a major trading port. As handling volumes increased, more and more merchants settled there and established an exchange, insurance companies and banks. Therefore, Slovenia's first surge of industrialisation starting in the mid-19th century was financed largely with capital from Trieste, for instance the TKI chemical works in Hrastnik, which still exist today. The first steam engines were deployed in Ljubljana. Foreign-controlled corporations acquired the iron works at Jesenice and the coal mines in Trbovlje. However, agricultural and forestry products such as food, leather, wood and paper remained dominant. The government in Vienna determined where rail lines were built. The Southern Railway from Vienna to the Adriatic had priority, connecting Celje and Ljubljana in the 1840s and Trieste in 1857. Connections from Carinthia via Jesenice followed in the 1870s, with a second line to Trieste going into operation at the start of the 20th century.
After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and the proclamation of the "Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia" in 1918, the country found itself in an entirely new situation: cut off from the flourishing Adriatic port of Triest and the Austrian hinterland, but now with access to the hungry markets of the southern Balkans. Comparatively well developed Slovenia now attracted capital, and mining and iron-working expanded, along with food production, textile and paper industries. The number of factories had almost doubled by the beginning of the Second World War, although most of these operations were small and the rural population continued to suffer high unemployment.
It was the government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that succeeded in industrialising the country after 1945 – at the price of a severe scarcity of consumer goods. Companies were nationalised and heavy industry was given absolute priority. Metal working and machinery production increased at a breathtaking pace, and automotive production was relaunched: TAM in Maribor began making trucks and buses in 1947, and in 1954 IMV in Novo Mesto started producing passenger cars. Both companies mainly manufactured under license from Western European corporations such as Austin, Magirus, Citroën and Renault. The equally newly established electrical industry brought forth such companies as the kitchen equipment manufacturer Gorenje. New power stations like the coal-fired TEŠ plant in Šoštanj and since 1970 the nuclear power station in Krško, half-owned by Croatia, improved the supply of electricity. New production plants were systematically sited all over the country to put an end to rural unemployment.
However, the government in Belgrade was unable to set self-sustaining economic development in motion, despite constant adjustments: greater autonomy for businesses, a limited opening of the market and freer access to the West. Growth was driven by increasing resource consumption, which ultimately resulted in declining incomes, a trade deficit and massive foreign debt. When the federal state fell apart in 1991, relatively prosperous Slovenia was in the best position to adapt to the new, capitalist market, mainly on account of an industrial base highly oriented toward finished goods, its high educational level and a great proportion of services.

In the restoration process carried out during two years (1999-2001) it was respected almost all the original settings of the house, maintaining or even enhancing its traditional symmetrical distribution of placements, the amplitude of the rooms and corridors and height of their roofs. These features build up a special character to the house, which responds to a conception much more generous than the current use of space. The thick outer stone walls were left exposed in some areas inside the house as well as most of the structure of chestnut wood, perfectly preserved after applying the treatment for cleaning and finishing.
Bioclimatic architecture and use of clean energies.
The lucky orientation of the building -northeast in the front and southwest in the garden – along with the thickness of the stone and mud that build the master walls of the building are the basis of their excellent thermal and acoustic insulation qualities.
The originally more vulnerable part of the house in this regard was the cover, which was demolished and built again. On a wooden structure, made with the original beams of the old roof and following the same constructive scheme, it was installed an insulation system made with crushed natural cork lodged between wooden panels that allow breathability of the building.
For the production of hot water and heating systems, it was installed a set of 12 solar panels that provide much of the necesary thermal energy.

Ron Johnson: Amendment aimed at curbing federal abuse of power
Originally published here in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on July 12, 2016.
Last summer, I saw just what was at risk from regulatory overreach when a young Milwaukeean testified at a hearing of the Senate committee that I chair, sharing her story of adversity, compassion and commitment. Justine "Justice" Shorter told how her eyesight faded to legal blindness when she was a student at Milwaukee's Messmer High School — and how the school responded.
Messmer is a Catholic school that educates many students in Milwaukee's groundbreaking parental school choice program. It does this on a voucher that delivers a fraction of the funding that the city's public schools get. On its own, Messmer couldn't afford the costly adaptive equipment Justice would need. Donors stepped in, but Justice pointed out the crucial role Messmer played: "That technology, coupled with love, support, attention and time that I received from the staff at Messmer, allowed me to truly thrive and excel."
Justice was testifying at a hearing last July examining the success of Milwaukee's school choice program — and how these schools had been affected by a years-long federal investigation. More than 25,000 Milwaukee children use the program to attend schools that their parents pick. As Justice said, those schools should know that the state funding that parents use will complement, not complicate, the education of children with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Justice was complicating it. By last summer, its probe of the choice program had run four years without finding any wrongdoing.
The Obama administration's hostility to school choice programs is well known. The administration tried defunding a program in Washington. It conducted legal warfare against one in Louisiana. School choice opponents, many of whom are allies of the administration, for decades had tried to kill Milwaukee's choice program. I and many others worried that the Department of Justice's probe was fueled by politics.
We had reason to worry. The Obama administration has an undeniable pattern of using regulatory overreach and intimidation to further its political aims. The president is unilaterally rewriting immigration and labor law by his infamous "phone and pen." Lois Lerner used the power of the IRS to systematically target President Barack Obama's political enemies.
The Department of Justice closed its school choice investigation in December 2015 without ever finding wrongdoing. It did so after the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which I chair, sent three letters asking about the scope, reasons and findings of the probe. No answers existed to some of my questions, and the department refused to answer the others. It did not come to Milwaukee to explain itself to the people whose schools it endangered.
I have been involved in improving and supporting both public and private schools since before I ran for office. I have heard over and over for six years from Wisconsin families about how they value the power that school choice gives them to find better opportunity for their children.
Those families' stories motivated me to offer an amendment to the bill that appropriates money to the Department of Justice — an amendment to close off the discredited legal excuse the department used to drag out its probe. My amendment simply requires the American with Disabilities Act to be followed as written; to be used as intended. The amendment does not restrict the government's current authority to investigate discrimination. It only keeps the federal government from expanding its power beyond what the law provides.
It stops the Obama administration from reopening this front in its attack on school choice. The damage this administration has done to the rule of law and our constitutional protections is so grave that it sometimes seems abstract. But that damage hurts individual Americans, and, in Milwaukee, we can see that it endangered a fundamental need — education.
"We all should be able to make the very best choices for ourselves, our families, our future," Justice testified. She's right. My amendment is aimed squarely at protecting Wisconsinites' right to make those choices.

Q: Fetch Process Name With runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier: and OSXFuse I am using OSXFuse and get the processID of the application that wants to read a file in the FUSE Filesystem on Mac. Using the OSXFuse [GMUserFileSystem currentContext], we fetch the process ID and now I would like to get the application name from this process ID. Most of the time, Finder is the calling process and its running under current logged in User privileges. I am trying to pass the process ID to runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier: to fetch the process details including its name. However runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier: returns nil. I have ensured the process ID is valid and also under user privileges. What might be wrong?
I am aware there are other ways like using some raw C based api's for fetching the process name, but I would like to fetch it using runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier: as it can give more useful information

Q: C programming , using alarm I am trying to just work around different modification of program.
I have a process and the parent gets killed after alarm signal goes on
The child still runs an infinite loop, since the alarm is in main it does not get affected
The program does not terminate at all
I am trying to include kill signal so i can have the child killed after sometime as ctrl-c does not work
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(){
    alarm(4);   //alarm in 4 seconds and terminates the program

    int pid=fork();    //forks a child
    //if we keep the kill signal here it creates child kills it and goes to parent process
    while(1){
        if(pid==0)
            printf("I am the child \n");    //alarm clock does not effect the child process
        else  //parent process
            printf("I am the parent, child pid=%d\n", pid);  //this after alarm clock terminates the program
    // if we add "kill(pid, SIGKILL), doesnt even fork the child and kills it
        sleep(1);
        //kill(pid, SIGKILL); would run the child process and then kill it
    }
}

Trying to get a little understanding on how can i kill child in this process after some time

A: Use a signal handler for your alarm. In that handler, kill() the child process and wait() for it to terminate.
For example:
#define _POSIX_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

pid_t kill_pid = -1;
int done_flag = 0;

void handle_alarm(pid_t sig)
{
    if (sig == SIGALRM && kill_pid >= 0)
    {
        kill(kill_pid, SIGTERM);
        int status;
        wait(&status);
        done_flag = 1;
    }
}

int main()
{
    alarm(4);   //alarm in 4 seconds and terminates the program

    pid_t pid = fork();    //forks a child
    if (pid == 0)
    {
        while (1)
        {
            printf("I am the child \n");
            sleep(1);
        }
    }
    else
    { //parent process
        kill_pid = pid;
        signal(SIGALRM, handle_alarm);

        while (!done_flag)
        {
            printf("I am the parent, child pid=%d\n", pid);
            sleep(1);
        }

        printf("Child has been terminated, parent is complete.\n");
    }
}

You could put a signal handler in the child process and make it terminate more gracefully. I've used SIGTERM here, which you can handle. SIGKILL cannot be handled by your program.
