As if the defense industry didn't have enough to worry about, what with the prospect of shrinking DoD budgets and the potential end to a few of America's less fashionable wars, here's another problem, outlined by the defense commentator Loren Thompson: The threat from its own investors.
The stock had fallen 18 percent since the year began when investor Icahn burst onto the scene with his surprise announcement that he owned 9.5 percent of shares and would seek a meeting with management to discuss ways of boosting shareholder value. Other investors predictably piled into the stock, raising the share price markedly but burdening Oshkosh executives with a sizable faction of shareholders bent on realizing substantial near-term gains. That can't be good news for a company still carrying a heavy debt burden from recent acquisitions and facing soft demand in all its major markets.
It isn't so clear what Icahn's game is with Oshkosh, since the company isn't likely to fetch a big premium from suitors in its current state and any effort to break it up would impair economies of scale dependent upon integrated manufacture of diverse product lines. But what's significant for the purposes of this commentary is that Icahn's move on Oshkosh is just the latest in a series of hostile shareholder actions against military contractors that could significantly reshape the defense sector at a time when companies were already facing major challenges.

Q: graphicsmagick crop depending on original image size (resuse readstream) I'm using Meteor's collection-fs packages to upload images, and I want to cut a thumbnail out of the centre of each image using gm(readStrem).crop(). Problem is, the x and y offsets for crop depend on the size of the original image, image sizes will vary, and I can't use the same reasdStream twice.
This breaks:
var xOff = 0;
var yOff = 0;
var thumbnailWidth = 450;
var thumbnailHeight = 600;
gm(readStream).size(function (err, dimensions) {
   if ( dimensions ) {
     xOff = (dimensions.width - thumbnailWidth) / 2;
     yOff = (dimensions.height - thumbnailHeight) / 2;
   }
   gm(readStream)
     .crop(thumbnailWidth, thumbnailHeight, xOff, yOff)
     .stream()
     .pipe(writeStream);
})

The dimensions return but the second use of readStream returns Error: gm().stream() or gm().write() with a non-readable stream
I've seen a few other answers related to this but none help me because the package forces me to pipe(writeStream); I can't just do '.writeAsync()' I tried all sorts of other tricks that didn't work, including:

*

*cloning the stream to get the size and then using the original for the synchronous transform and save (in a timer)

*calling the whole thing synchronously (silly idea, but worth a shot)

If anybody has any ideas, I'd really appreciate your input.
Thanks!
db

A: This works and doesn't rely on the client, which makes it safer:
var xOff = 0;
var yOff = 0;
var thumbnailWidth = 450;
var thumbnailHeight = 600;
gm(readStream, fileObj.name()).size(
  {bufferStream: true},
  function (err, dimensions) {
    if (dimensions) {
      xOff = (dimensions.width - thumbnailWidth) / 2;
      yOff = (dimensions.height - thumbnailHeight) / 2;
    }
    this.crop(thumbnailWidth, thumbnailHeight, xOff, yOff);
    this.stream((err, stdout, stderr) => {
      stdout.pipe(writeStream);
    });
  }
);

A: The solution was to determine the file size on the client, append those details to the fileObj before writing, and then call crop normally on the server during write.
var cropInfo = fileObj.cropInfo
gm(readStream)
     .crop(cropInfo.width, cropInfo.height, cropInfo.x, cropInfo.y)
     .stream()
     .pipe(writeStream);

Not quite ideal, but it works.

Robert Prosinečki Tipped for Bosnia-Herzegovina Job
Former Croatia player and assistant coach Robert Prosinečki is in the running to take over the vacant Bosnia and Herzegovina coaching position…
The Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are on the search for a new coach after Safet Sušić was sacked this week following a 3-0 loss at the hands of Israel.
Prosinečki, who was assistant manager of the Croatia national football team between 2006 and 2010, told media this week that he would be interested in sitting down with them to talk about the position. Prosinečki, who was linked last month with the Azerbaijan job, is currently a free agent after leaving his post at Turkish club Kayserispor last season.
Legendary Croatia coach Miroslav Ćiro Blažević, who guided Prosinečki and Croatia to 3rd at the 1998 World Cup in France, thinks the former Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder is the answer for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"I called Sarajevo and said: 'Only Robert Prosinečki can save you, he is the best coach in this region!," said Blažević, who says he has an emotional connection with the Bosnian team because he himself has had a spell coaching them. Blažević is also a Bosnian Croat.
Former player Mehmed Baždarević has also been tipped as a serious candidate for the job.

Herschel Walker Gives Devastating Response to Warnock Over Abortion Stance
Martin WalshOctober 17, 2022
Democratic Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock appeared very caught off guard many times on Friday night when Herschel Walker, his Republican challenger, tore into him during their first and only debate ahead of the midterm elections.
Walker, a former Georgia Bulldogs football player, showed up and delivered a solid performance. In particular, Walker held Warnock's feet to the fire during an exchange about abortion. Warnock, who is a pastor, advocates for no limits on abortion. Walker is pro-life.
Walker said, "[Warnock] told me black lives matter, and if you think about it, senator, in Atlanta, Georgia, there's more black babies that is aborted than anything. So if black lives matter, why are you not protecting those babies? And instead of aborting those babies, why are you not baptizing those babies?"
Warnock replied, "I think the women of Georgia have a clear choice."
"A patient's room is too narrow and small and cramped a space for a woman, her doctor and the United States government. We are witnessing right now what happens when politicians, most of them men, pile into patient's rooms," Warnock said. "The women of Georgia [deserve] a senator who will stand with them. I trust women more than I trust politicians."
Then Walker landed one right between the eyes. He said, "He's a neat talker, but did he not mention that there's a baby in that room as well?"
On Friday night, Walker tried to tie Warnock to President Joe Biden's failed agenda, noting that he had voted with Biden 96 percent of the time.

A Georgia Senate race that could help decide which party controls the chamber following the November midterm elections is heating up just weeks before polling begins.
Former NFL great Hershel Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has taken a three-point lead over Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, according to the latest InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Atlanta poll.
Newsmax noted further that in recent weeks, Warnock slipped four points in the poll while Walker has gained two points, a shift of six points in total. "Walker now leads 47% to 44% in one of the key battlegrounds as Republicans seek to flip back a Georgia Senate seat as the midterm battle for the upper-chamber majority heats up in the race's final two months," the outlet reported.
Chase Oliver, a Libertarian Party candidate, is having an impact in the race as well, with 4 percent support. Meanwhile, 5 percent of Georgians remain undecided, Newsmax reported, citing the polling results.
"Warnock is winning among younger voters and seniors but trails badly among those 40-64," InsiderAdvantage Chairman Matt Towery noted in a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta. "Men support Walker at 60%, while women support Warnock at 55%. Walker is receiving 12% support from African American respondents."
In the Peach State, there is a run-off electoral system, which is what led to Warnock flipping the seat blue in January 2021 against incumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler after she and fellow Republican Sen. David Perdue both failed to secure 50 percent of the vote. Perdue ended up losing to then-Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. Reports following the election noted that hundreds of thousands of Republican voters who cast ballots in the 2020 elections did not vote during the run-offs.
"This race could very well be headed to a general election runoff given the fact that there seems to be few points among the various demographics up for grabs," Towery noted in his poll assessment.
Newsmax added:
Walker, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, once played for Trump's New Jersey Generals in the United States Football League, before becoming an NFL great.
Walker is popular in the state of Georgia, having starred at the University of Georgia, winning NCAA football's Heisman Trophy in 1982 as a junior.
At times, the campaign between Walker and Warnock has turned negative. In June, Walker responded to attacks on him regarding his children after The Daily Beast reported that he had fathered a son 10 years ago and was ordered by a court to provide child support.
Days later, the same outlet also reported that Walker had another son who was not widely known. For his part, Walker denied that allegation.
"I have four children. Three sons and a daughter. They're not 'undisclosed' — they're my kids," Walker told The Daily Wire.
"I support them all and love them all," he added. "I've never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition, I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign.
"What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this?" the former NFL great added.
Walker has long spoken out against absent dads, especially in the black community.


I have three kitties and have been spending a fortune on kitty litter. I didn't mind it in the past, but I need to tighten the belt now. I don't want to give them something chemical-laden, etc, but Dr. Elsey's is $16.99 a bag - but they LOVE it! They will use Sweet Scoop, but that is pricey, too. I guess there is no way around it if I want them to have a good quality litter?
Clumping vs. non-clumping - is clumping really more economical if we are adding to the box each day and dumping weekly?
Cheapest that cats love? Plain sand. If you have a place to store it, you should be able to get a 10 yard dump truck of it for somewhere in the neighborhood of $125. That pile of sand will last longer than your cat.
Cats will come from miles around just to use it. Ask any kid who ever had a sandbox. if you buy a truck load of sand for your cat, figure out a way to keep it covered, otherwise every cat in the neighborhood will be using it and you risk germs for your indoor cat.
For everyone who is reading (I'm sure OP already knows better) do not scoop your cat box into the toilet. The litter will clog the plumbing and the call from the plumber will be on the expensive side.
I use Tidy Cat, non-clumping. I don't want to play in the litter box every day.
I have one cat, and I stock up on kitty litter when I have coupons. Currently, I have 4 25lb boxes of Scoop Away, 10 bags of Cat's Pride 10lb bags, and 1 jug of Tidy Cat (red cap). I bought the Scoop Away at Walmart, the Cat's Pride is $3 at Family Dollar, and I use my $1 off coupons, and the Tidy Cat is the last jug from when I stocked up last year.
Check Free Printable Coupons, Grocery Coupons & Online Coupons | Coupons.com for coupons every month, and there are some cat litter coupons listed on their site now. The Cat's Pride doesn't clump as well as the others, but I mix it in with the other litter. My litter box doesn't smell at all.
I use a recycled paper product. Its super absorbent so lasts longer with no smell.
Its got zero carbon paw print on the pack too.
I don't mind paying a bit extra as Not Having Smell is worth it. And, you use less.
We have 3 cats and use the house brand clumping cat litter from Petco or Petsmart. We have both those stores here. That litter at each is similar, so I look for sales. They will match the prices on their websites. The best price I've seen is 40lbs for ~$9.50 at Petco.
If you have a Costco membership, it's really cheap for a 42lb bag there.
My experience is that cheap cat litter doesn't clump and gets to smelling really bad. We usually use Scoop Away.
My cat requires a dust-free litter (otherwise he sneezes constantly). I consider $16 for 40lb cheap, personally (Dr. Elsey's). I used to spend more for Cat's Pride.
My strategy to keep the box super clean (easier with one cat) is to keep the box filled with 4-5" of litter, and then scoop the clumps out at least daily, and then replace litter as needed. The urine never touches the bottom of the box. If he pees on the side of the box, I wipe it with a Clorox-wipe. I rarely have to replace the litter using this technique.

As with most 'smart' devices at the moment, the Hapifork is limited by syncing and charging, as well as our natural ability to ignore good advice from a nagging technological snitch.
After a few meals, I was surprised to find myself being more thoughtful with my eating, placing my fork down between bites. It didn't always stop me from wolfing down dinner after a long day at work, though — I was hungry. When my hunger outweighed my concern for my eating speed, I ignored the Hapifork's vibrations and its disapproving red light.
I wonder if they'll do the same for chopsticks?

i love the idea of mounting the pet. however, i'd like to see a set of abilities cast by hunters like interrupts, (aoe) threat generation, basically a rather complete, but modified (in terms of damage and functionality) set of our abilities. the hunter could order the pet to use its cooldowns, or even cast her cooldowns to protect it (like a modified mend pet that acts like a high healing emergency cooldown). a few new abilities do make sense too, of course, emphasizing on the hunter-pet-synergy. but it shouldn't change our playstyle completely, that'd feel very odd.
this way, one also could extend the redesigned aspect of the beast to all pets, using it for dpsing too. it'd be awesome to dps from atop of my loque! of course, the bm tree would need to be designed in a similar way like feral, requiring us to pick different talents in order to dps or tank. also, only tenacity pets should be able to tank.


WHAT IS THE RELIGION OF DIVINE SCIENCE?
Purpose: To stimulate the student in his realization that the all important thing in his life is Love to God and to his fellow men.
 It is necessary to know fundamental truth in order to live a well-directed life. This basic truth, Omnipresence, has been considered in the two preceding chapters. It is necessary to know the method of attainment, and this was given in the preceding lesson. However, there is still something that is necessary. We may understand both the philosophy and the psychology of Divine Science, and yet, if this be held as purely intellectual knowledge, it is not satisfying; we long for something more. Faithful practice of the principles given in these two phases of Divine Science brings to us the realization of the third phase, which is Love, the religion of Divine Science.
Religion, the realization of Love, brings richness, beauty, joy; it is true and abiding companionship with all there is; it gives us ability to serve with power, as well as to meet every human need, every soul hunger.
We usually interpret Love as conscious unity. Another satisfying interpretation is, "Love is out-streaming good-will." We may think about God and our fellow men in just the right way, without realizing this out-streaming good-will which is the essential in every relationship. Such a man will be called good, just, and  upright, a man of fine character; but he has missed the very essence of life, the feeling of oneness, of companionship with God, and the joy of cooperation, of companionship with his fellow men. This man cannot evidence power in what he does; nor does he call forth love from others. A person of this sort is good but he is lonely, He has missed the secret of companionship and power.
An understanding of the principles of life is necessary; it is also essential to practice these in right thinking and right living; but it is religion, the realization of love, the warmth which glows through every experience, that truly blesses and uplifts.
If one is trying to progress without learning the meaning of God-Love, he is trying to tread the path without the light of day. If one is trying to preach, teach, or heal, without embodying in his thinking and living the neverfailing Power, Divine Love, he is but sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
Love is the supreme gift; it is the kingdom of God within us.
Jesus gives two commandments: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Paul sees that "Love is the fulfilling of the law"; that, above prophecy, above the understanding of mysteries, above knowledge, faith, and deeds of charity, is Love. To John who loved most was given wonderful visions of Truth.
 Love is the only way to realize Truth, Life, Self, All. A pure fervent love for God is followed by love for all.
But man as man thy brother own.
Let us practice love in our thinking and in our doing.
Is there a dreaded task ahead? Let us delight in service.
Is there suffering? Let us know that Divine Love is the healing Presence.
Is there limitation in any way? Let us know that God is abundance and that God is Love; Love shares its abundance with all.
Do you know anyone who is fearing or disliking another? Know that there is blessing and perfect forgiveness.


To continue my series of posts on teaching web programming, I would like to share on the project students had to realize for my web programming course.
In past years, I used to ask the students to develop a web application of their likes, setting some minimum requirements to pass the course. I picked this from beginner courses I had been tutoring for in École Polytechnique and in Paris VII, while I was a PhD student.
Although this formula was very successful in École Polytechnique, and reasonably good in Paris VII, it was very disappointing in my own course. I got tired of having to grade, over and over, the usual forum application, mostly grabbed off the Internet and poorly put together. Some of the best projects sure were able to blow my mind, like a fully functional battleship game, or an almost functional multiplayer Scrabble. But the large majority of it was just dull and boring, when it wasn't cheating.
I think the reasons for this failure sum up to: student level highly inhomogenous, course requirements too high for most students, course duration too short. Mostly the opposite of what we had in Polytechnique and Paris VII. I was not ready to give up on the requirements, so I had to find a way to force the students to keep up with the course and do more work.
The directed project, to be developed during the tutoring sessions (3 class hours per week, plus a lot of homework for most students), turned out to work very good. It was rather ambitious: write a multi-user almost-real-time Connect-four application. I have to admit it even flirted with the impossible: the last part required to push play events from the server to the clients; something very natural to code in Node.js, but very unnatural in Silex.
The progression kept the students interested all along. They strove to complete all the requirements, going well beyond what they would have achieved on a project of their own. Almost everyone got to write some AJAX interaction: something I had not even dreamed of in past years. I was amazed to see several students complete all the requirements, delivering a fully functional Connect-four game.
According to the polls, 80% of the students found that the course required more work than other masters' courses, but they got relatively high grades, and 75% of them where happy about it. But didn't this make cheating worse? Quite the contrary, as I will develop in the next post.
One thing some students complained about was the lack of feedback on the quality of the work they were providing. I collected and graded their work twice (once mid-course, once at the end), was several weeks late giving grades, and could hardly have done more, given that I was alone grading 60 students. Also, just two numbers hardly give much information on what's good and what's bad in the code.
Auto-graders could provide one way of improving feedback. In the future, I think it would be interesting to experiment with them, although I am afraid they could hinder the students' creativity by not inspiring them to freely explore. Another interesting way in which auto-graders could complement the directed project would be to isolate and teach fundamental concepts by short, self-contained exercises focusing on specific skills (e.g.: navigating the DOM, building a HTTP response by hand, etc.).

There are so many special events that take place in a single year. From anniversaries to birthdays, it seems like you are not going to run out of reasons to have fun and spread love. Practically any important occasion can be made really unforgettable by handing out a meaningful and an eye-catching gift. A way to make someone happy is by going to a Calgary florist.
There are many florists based in this city in the province of Alberta, Canada. It only shows that the local residents are not going to run out of floral experts to run to whenever they are in need of eye-catching and heartwarming gifts. However, it is important for them to step foot inside the finest stores around most especially if they want to have the recipients impressed.
Opting for a highly reputable florist is a wise move. There are various reasons why this is recommendable. Perhaps nothing is as obvious as the fact that the local shoppers will be able to come across some of the most appealing flower arrangements on today's market. Thanks to the expert's training and experience in the industry, he or she can come up with stunning bouquets.
Handing out a lovely floral arrangement created by a local pro can make the recipient's day brighter and more unforgettable. It cannot be denied that you should pay for something that is visually appealing and unlike the rest. Each time you want someone important in your life to feel very special, opt for a florist who is creative enough to whip up something so unique.
Stepping foot inside the store of an excellent vendor in Calgary enables shoppers to come across an assortment of gifts other than flowers. The expert knows that a bouquet can make a bigger impact if it comes with another item perfect for the occasion or recipient. A reliable service provider usually offers gift baskets, balloons, wines, chocolates, stuffed toys and others.
A top-notch provider gives enough time to know the customers a little more. Just like what's mentioned above, there are a lot of celebrations that happen in a year. Chances are that gift buyers will pay the store a visit many times. An expert who really cares will try to build a professional relationship with his or her customers in order to be able to provide what they need.
A reliable seller is able to ship the item you order straight to the recipient's doorstep. It's not always that you can personally give professionally arranged blooms to the person you wish to surprise or greet. A floral expert that delivers to any point in your city or country in a timely manner will come in handy each time you are too busy or cannot travel long distance.
Superb customer service usually comes from a floral expert who has been in the industry for already a long time. Certainly, the vendor won't do anything to destroy the good reputation he or she has built throughout the years. A great way to ensure that present customers will remain loyal and prospective ones will be enticed to trust the vendor is by providing top-notch service.

Chronology of the Macedonian Issue
1805 – Serbian revolution against the Ottoman Empire
1821 – Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire
1830 – founding of the Greek state
1844 – Greece's first prime minister, Ioannis Kolettis, first articulates the ideology of the Great Idea in Greek parliament.
28 Feb / 12 Mar 1870 – Under Russian pressure, Sultan Abdul Aziz grants Bulgaria suzerainty (exarchy) over a broad swathe of the Balkans stretching from Balkan Mts. to Danube, essentially what is today northern Bulgaria. This is an idea the Bulgarians had been working towards since 1856, and their efforts intensified after Nikolai Ignatieff was installed as Russian ambassador to the Porte in 1864. Majority Greek areas are excluded but article 10 allows them to join the exarchy if 2/3 of the population wish it. The patriarchate held a Holy and Great Synod in 1872 to condemn tribal nationalism (εθνοφυλετισμός) and the period marks the beginning of Greek-Bulgarian rivalry in the Balkans.
1875 – revolution in Bosnia-Herzegovina
1876 – Serbo-Ottoman war
April 1876 – Bulgarian revolution
April 1877-early 1878 – Russo-Ottoman war. It becomes clear to the Greeks that there will soon be a change of regime in the Balkans and they are concerned that the Slavs may act against the Greeks in the area. Pressure rises on the government to wage war on the Ottoman Empire. Greeks in Macedonia begin to form guerrilla organisations, notably the Brotherhood (Αδελφότητα) and National Defence (Εθνική Άμυνα). The Greek consul in Thessaloniki, Konstantine Vatikiotis, informs the govt in Athens that the Greeks are suffering heavy casualties because the Ottomans are better armed.
Early 1878 – Macedonian Committee formed in Athens to organize and support guerrilla action. President Ioannis Pantazidis. Stefanos Dragoumis is a member.
February 1878 – Treaty of San Stefano between Russia and Ottoman Empire gives Bulgarians eastern Macedonia and a large chunk of central Macedonia including their Aegean coastline, stretching from Vistonida lake in Thrace to the Strymonian Gulf east of Halkidike, and also including a chunk of coastline between the deltas of the Aliakmonas and Axios river west of Thessaloniki. San Stefanska Bulgarska is the apogee of Bulgarian territorial acquisitions. This triggers the Olympus uprising by Greek guerrillas, backed by the Macedonian Committee.
At the same time, a Provisional Government of Macedonia is created in Litohoro by Angelos Korovangos and 500 men, who signal to the embassies of the Great powers in Thessaloniki their goal of joining Macedonia to Greece. Ottoman troops ultimately defeat them after two months of action. In March 1878 Ottomans burn and raze Litohoro. Other smaller Greek uprisings break out in other parts of Macedonia, and are also put down.
13 June – 13 July 1878 – Congress of Berlin countermands Treaty of San Stefano
23 October 1893 - Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (VMRO) formed in Thessaloniki by Hristo Batangieff, Hristo Tatarcheff, Dame Gruef, Petar Poparsov and Ivan Hadjinikoloff. The VMRO's stated aim is to win Macedonian autonomy from the Ottomans and then annex it to Bulgaria.
1895 – Bulgarian govt founds the Supreme Macedonian Committee with the same goals as the VMRO.
1896 - National Society (Εθνική Εταιρεία) which had been formed in 1894, organises 500 men in 8 groups under Athanasios Broufas. The initiative is eventually shot to pieces by Ottoman forces.
1897 – Greek-Ottoman War ends in defeat for the Greeks. National Society again raises men and arms. It is the first action seen by Pavlos Melas, who married Natalia Dragoumi, daughter of Stefanos.
20 Jul / 2 Aug 1903 – Ilinden uprising in the areas now in Fyrom and Western Macedonia (Greece). Mostly Bulgarian in sympathies but supported by Greek villages as well. Greek consulates and the patriarchate try to restrain the Greeks for fear of losing them politically to the Bulgarian nationalist cause. Ottoman forces suppress the uprising violently. Est. fatalities 10,000, of which maybe half are civilian. Creates a wave of 40,000 refugees.
1904-1908 - Full scale guerrilla war in Macedonia between Greeks and Bulgarians. Many Greek officers resign from the army to lead units. Greeks manage to push back Bulgarian guerrilla forces esp. in central Macedonia. For the first time, Bulgarian leadership in the Macedonian revolutionary struggle is put into doubt. The 1905 uprising in Crete at Therisos had led Young Turks to put pressure on Greeks in Macedonia, closing Greek schools, torturing confessions out of villagers about where stockpiles of materiels lay hidden, and forcing Greeks to march in Thessaloniki against the uprising in Crete.
Summer 1909 – Officers who fought in Macedonia take part in the army movement Κίνημα Στρατιωτικού Συνδέσμου at Goudi barracks. The movement, under Theodoros Pangalos and Yeorgios Karaiskakis, grandson of the revolutionary general, and including Nikolaos Plastiras, sought to remove Konstantine and princes from the army, and to reform the army after the defeat of 1897. Eleftherios Venizelos knew of it and seems to have supported it. The movement came to a head on 15 August 1909, and caused the resignation of two prime ministers, Theotokis followed by Rallis, both of whom were royalist and conciliatory towards the Young Turks.
28 Jul / 10 Aug 1913 – Treaty of Bucharest (Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania) ends Second Balkan War and enshrines Greek gains in Macedonia, defining Greek-Bulgarian border from Mt. Belles in the north to Nestos River delta / Vistonida lake in the east. No reference is made to geographic Macedonia. Greece gets 51% of geographic Macedonia, Serbia 38% and Bulgaria 9%. A tiny sliver west of Prespa goes to Albania. In the years following the treaty, only Greece uses the term Macedonia for its territory. Serbia calls its part South Serbia, and Bulgaria calls its part Pirin.
3 December 1924 – Third congress of SEKEK (Socialist Workers' Party of Greece (Communist)), a combination of the Socialist Workers' Party of Greece and the Communist Party of Greece, both founded in 1918, votes for the creation of an independent Macedonia and an independent Thrace. The proclamation espouses positions articulated in the 6th and 7th Balkan Communist Congresses. SEKEK calls on the peoples of Macedonia and Thrace to launch their own struggle for independence.
1934-5 – Georgi Dimitrov, head of the Communist International, and a Stalin appointee, proposes the creation of a "unified and independent Macedonian nation" at the 7th Comintern in Moscow. The state would be carved out of three components, Serb Macedonia (Skopje), Pirin Macedonia (Bulgaria) and Macedonia of the Aegean.
26 December 1944 – US Secy of State Stettinius declares US is against creation of a Macedonian state as it would harbour ambitions on Greek soil. The full text of the telegram is as follows (emphasis mine):
U.S. Secretary of State Edward Stettinius to U.S. Missions
(Washington, Dec.26, 1944)
The Secretary of State to Certain Diplomatic and Consular Officers
The following is for your information and general guidance, but not for any positive action at this time.
The Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing propaganda rumors and semi-official statements in favor of an "autonomous Macedonia",emanating principally from Bulgaria, but also from Yugoslav Partisan and other sources, with the implication that Greek territory would be included in the projected state.
This Government considers talk of "Macedonian nation", "Macedonia Fatherland", or "Macedonian national consciousness" to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic or political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece.
The approved policy of this Government is to oppose any revival of the Macedonian issue as related to Greece. The Greek section of Macedonia is largely inhabited by Greeks, and the Greek people are almost unanimously opposed to the creation of a "Macedonian state." Allegations of serious Greek participation in any such agitation can be assumed to be false. This Government would regard as responsible any Government or Group of Governments tolerating or encouraging menacing or aggressive acts of "Macedonian forces" against Greece. The Department would appreciate any information pertinent to this subject which may come to your attention.

The bold paragraph expresses almost exactly the position of the Greek government from 1944 to today. The US position changed after the fall of communism and the Yugoslav civil war. Its priority became the preservation of peace and the integrity of existing borders. With the communist threat gone, so was American concern about potentially spurious national claims.
November 1990 – "Socialist Republic of Macedonia" holds its first post-Yugoslav election. VMRO-DPMNE is top party with 22pc of vote and 38 seats. Its platform includes uniting all Macedonians in Macedonian lands under occupation in neighbouring Bulgaria, Greece and Albania into a Macedonian confederation, which will seek EU membership.
25 January 1991 – The parliament of the "Socialist Republic of Macedonia" declares "sovereignty of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia" and the "right of the Macedonian people to self-determination".
8 September 1991 – 72 percent of citizens vote yes in a referendum on the question: "Do you support a sovereign and independent state of Macedonia, with the right to enter into a future union with the other sovereign states of Yugoslavia?"
17 September 1991 – Based on the referendum result, the parliament in Skopje declares independence. Article 2 of its declaration states that the country will "fight for uninterrupted respect for the generally accepted principles of international relations contained in the UN treaties." The country also pledges to "base its legal foundation on respect for the international rules which govern relations between states and total respect for the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, strengthening mutual respect and trust and developing co-operation with all peoples with mutual interests." Article 3 pledges "good neighbourliness" and Article 4 pledges "strict respect for the inviolability of borders as a guarantee for peace and security in the region". However, Article 5 calls for respect for "the rights of the portions of the Macedonian people, which live as an ethnic minority in neighbouring countries." This becomes a major problem for Bulgaria and Greece.
17 November 1991 – The "Republic of Macedonia" adopts its constitution. Greece objects to three points in the constitution:
· The preamble invokes "the Macedonian people and their struggle over centuries for national and social freedom". It speaks of the "legality of the Krushevo Republic" of 1903, a revolution whose ambition it was to to unite the Ottoman Empire's administrative province of Macedonia – which would include present-day Greek and Bulgarian territory – in a breakaway independence movement. Ottoman forces crushed the uprising after ten days. The preamble also references the "historic decisions of the Anti-Fascist Assembly of the People's Liberation of Macedonia" (1944), a communist partisan committee which lasted for a few months at the end of the Second World War. It called on "ethnic Macedonians" in Bulgaria and Greece to rise up against their oppressors. The latter inaugurated Marshal Tito's aspirational policy of a Macedonian state at the expense of Greek territory as a way of uniting the southern tip of the Republic of South Slavs (Yugoslavia). Greek foreign minister Antonis Samaras quoted from the committee in a letter to his European colleagues on 17 January 1992, to demonstrate the irredentist implications of the constitution: "Let the struggle of the Macedonian piedmont inspire you… this alone leads to liberation and the unification of all Macedonians… Allow the artificial borders that separate brother from brother…to crumble."
· Article 3 leaves open the possibility that "the borders of the Republic of Macedonia may be changed."
· Article 49: States that "the Republic cares for the status and rights of those persons belonging to the Macedonian people in neighbouring countries." Greece is concerned that this creates a pretext for meddling in its internal affairs, as well as forming a basis for irredentist territorial claims.
16 December 1991 – The European Community's Declaration on Yugoslavia comes as close as Europe will ever come to aligning itself with the Greek position. It pledges that the EC will recognise all Yugoslav member states on 15 January on certain conditions. Among other things, they must respect the human rights of individuals and ethnic groups; they must support the UN's efforts in Yugoslavia; in a clear reference to Skopje, they should provide "constitutional and political guarantees" that they harbour no territorial claims on EC states and "will conduct no hostile propaganda activities versus a neighbouring Community state including the use of a denomination which implies territorial claims." (my italics).
6 January 1992 – In response, the parliament in Skopje makes two amendments to the constitution. The first stipulates that, "The Republic of Macedonia has no territorial pretensions towards any neighbouring state," but continues to allow for the revision of borders "on the principle of free will". The second asserts that, "the Republic will not interfere in the sovereign rights of other states or in their internal affairs," but article 49 remains. The issue of the name goes unaddressed. In short, Greek concerns are not addressed.
11 January 1992 – The Badinter Commission (appointed to provide legal advice on Yugoslavia to the European Council) opines that the former Yugoslav Macedonia has provided enough assurances to warrant recognition as a sovereign state, but as Greece still has objections, Europeans refrain from doing so.
14 February 1992 – A march against compromising with former Yugoslav Macedonia is organised in Thessaloniki, with an estimated million people in attendance. The issue has escaped the halls of diplomacy and becomes a bone of contention between the two peoples, not just their governments.
27 February 1992 – Helmut Kohl and George H W Bush agree at Camp David to postpone resolution of the Macedonia issue until after the November election.
February & March 1992 – The Portugese rotating presidency of the European Council suggested two further texts bolstering mutual respect for borders and non-aggression, but its initiative foundered on the suggestion of "Nova Macedonia" or "New Macedonia" as a name for the new state, which neither Athens nor Skopje accepted.
13 April 1992 – The Greek Council of Party Leaders meeting under the president announces that it will not recognise the "state of Skopje" if its name contains the term Macedonia. Foreign minister Antonis Samaras had sought even more – to threaten Skopje with a closure of borders. Samaras' support for the hard-line position – to forbid use of the M-word in any form – brought him at odds with premier Konstantine Mitsotakis, who dismissed him that month.
May 1992 – Prefix 'Former Yugoslav Republic of' added to all six states in diplomatic and political discussions in EU.
23 June 1992 – Premier Mitsotakis writes to his European counterparts saying that Greece is willing to accept the so-called "double name" – whereby Skopje is recognised under a name that doesn't contain the M-word but calls itself what it wants. Greek foreign policy will later reject this as insidious, but at this time it is the first Greek concession.
27 June 1992 – The European Council's summit meeting in Lisbon again calls on the government in Skopje to find a name that doesn't contain the M-word, hewing to the Greek line.
3 July 1992 – the parliament in Skopje rejects the summit communiqué, saying that without recognition of the Macedonian state and ethnicity there can be no smooth development of democracy in that country.
30 July 1992 – The president of former Yugoslav Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov, changes tack and applies for recognition at the UN. This caught Greece unprepared and created a two-track process Greece did not immediately address. Meanwhile the deepening and broadening of the war in Yugoslavia added to European concerns that hostilities could extend to the south of the country if central government authority in Skopje were not quickly reinforced. [Spirou – George H W Bush asks Boutros Boutros Gali to shelve the issue until after Nov. election].
Aug 1992 – [Spirou – Greek-American community asks Dem. candidate Bill Clinton not to recognise Republic of Skopje with the word Macedonia.]
December 1992 – Gali brings to the Security Council the question of inducting the new Yugoslav state as a UN member.
10 December 1992 – The rotating British presidency of the European Council reports that Skopje is willing to accept a qualified use of the term Macedonia, calling itself Republic of Macedonia (Skopje) in all its international relations. This marks the first modification of Skopje's hard line.
January 1993 – France suggests that Athens and Skopje submit to international arbitration.
14 May 1993 – A mediation by Cyrus Vance and Lord Owen suggests the name "Nova Makedonija" for all international uses, and addresses all the constitutional issues that bother Greece. Skopje rejects this. Greece accepts a composite name for the first time, preferring the term "Slavomakedonija", but ultimately withdraws the suggestion of a composite name under pressure from hardliners in the ruling conservative party.
September 1993 – Two MPs withdraw from the conservative bloc, depriving it of its ruling majority in parliament and bringing down the government.
October 1993 – The socialist party returns to power in Greece.
February 1994 – The socialist government of Andreas Papandreou places an embargo on Skopje, excluding food and medicines. Subsequent studies show that this is largely ineffective, as Greek exporters send shipments through Bulgaria rather than lose business. It also backfires, leading to outrage with Greece and international sympathy for Skopje, which now reaped a flurry of recognitions either as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, its official name in the UN, or as Republic of Macedonia.
September 1995 – Athens admits defeat and with Skopje signs the Interim Accord, whereby Athens and Skopje recognise each other's sovereignty, disavow any mutual territorial threat, resume trade and pledge to find a solution to the name issue. This is the bilateral document that still governs relations between the two nations.

A PUBLIC site meeting is likely to be held to discuss major plans to redevelop a prestigious Clevedon seafront site. Councillors have agreed they will first make a site visit to the Clevedon Hall estate to take a closer look at the development proposals.
A PUBLIC site meeting is likely to be held to discuss major plans to redevelop a prestigious Clevedon seafront site.Councillors have agreed they will first make a site visit to the Clevedon Hall estate to take a closer look at the development proposals.Following the councillors' visit, and a three-month consultation period with residents, businesses, the town council and other local organisations, it is likely a public site visit will be organised.North Somerset north area planning committee chairman Glyn Duck said: "This is a very prestigious site in Clevedon and it is important that we get it right."Following the period of consultation, I would ask for an open site visit so members of the public can see the site and the plans in their entirety."Clevedon Hall was originally built in 1850 as a residential property for local businessman Conrad Finzel.The hall remained as a home until World War II when it was used as St Brandon's School until 1991 when it was turned into offices.As part of the development proposals, 126 new homes could be built on the site. A 60-bed residential care home could also be built along with new offices.A total of 21 two-bedroom apartments will be built on three floors of the St Brandon's School site and 56 two bedroom apartments where the sports hall stands.Also proposed are 16 five-bedroom detached homes on the existing playing field and 33 three bedroom houses on the estate's outskirts.The wall surrounding the wall garden, the ornamental lake and a number of trees would be retained as part of any transformation of the site.But not all have welcomed the development brief, which was handed to councillors earlier this month.Clevedon Town Council chairman David Shopland said: "This is the last prestigious site in Clevedon."To propose more than 120 new homes is gross overdevelopment of the site."Any houses should be spacious and gracious and fit in with the existing environment."I would also like to close the entrance on Elton Road and move it to Victoria Road and see some sort of community facility retained within the site.


Ashley was founded in 1983 by Father Joseph C. Martin, S.S. and his friend and business partner, Mae Abraham, whose maiden name was Ashley. Mae Abraham initiated the idea to build a treatment facility. The two first met at one of his award-winning "Chalk Talks" at Johns Hopkins University in 1964. As people who suffered from the disease of alcoholism, they were inspired to make a change and help other addicts get well.
Father Martin was widely regarded as a pioneer in his field. It was his direct and compassionate approach to healing that was so innovative. He removed stigmas that deemed addiction a choice, rather than a disease, and encouraged holistic treatment to maintain lasting recovery. Many supporters still watch Father Martin's videos as motivating recovery tools. Today, Ashley Addiction Treatment's expert team is committed to preserving the spirit of its founders by helping more people get the treatment they need to heal.


The asa utility shall write its input files to standard output, mapping carriage-control characters from the text files to line-printer control sequences in an implementation-defined manner.
The first character of every line shall be removed from the input, and the following actions are performed.
The rest of the line is output without change.
A <newline> is output, then the rest of the input line.
One or more implementation-defined characters that causes an advance to the next page shall be output, followed by the rest of the input line.
The <newline> of the previous line shall be replaced with one or more implementation-defined characters that causes printing to return to column position 1, followed by the rest of the input line. If the '+' is the first character in the input, it shall be equivalent to <space>.
The action of the asa utility is unspecified upon encountering any character other than those listed above as the first character in a line.
A pathname of a text file used for input. If no file operands are specified, the standard input shall be used.
The standard input shall be used if no file operands are specified, and shall be used if a file operand is '-' and the implementation treats the '-' as meaning standard input. Otherwise, the standard input shall not be used. See the INPUT FILES section.
The standard output shall be the text from the input file modified as described in the DESCRIPTION section.
permits the viewing of file (created by a program using FORTRAN-style carriage-control characters) on a terminal.
formats the FORTRAN output of a.out and directs it to the printer.
The asa utility is needed to map "standard" FORTRAN 77 output into a form acceptable to contemporary printers. Usually, asa is used to pipe data to the lp utility; see lp.
This utility is generally used only by FORTRAN programs. The standard developers decided to retain asa to avoid breaking the historical large base of FORTRAN applications that put carriage-control characters in their output files. There is no requirement that a system have a FORTRAN compiler in order to run applications that need asa.
Historical implementations have used an ASCII <form-feed> in response to a 1 and an ASCII <carriage-return> in response to a '+'. It is suggested that implementations treat characters other than 0, 1, and '+' as <space> in the absence of any compelling reason to do otherwise. However, the action is listed here as "unspecified", permitting an implementation to provide extensions to access fast multiple-line slewing and channel seeking in a non-portable manner.
This utility is marked as part of the FORTRAN Runtime Utilities option.
