Octave Chanute – One of the Fathers of Aviation
aviation	 18. February 2015 1 Harald Sack
Octave A. Chanute (1832-1910)
On February 18, 1832, French-born American railway engineer and aviation pioneer Octave A. Chanute was born. He provided many budding enthusiasts, including the Wright brothers with help and advice, and helped to publicize their flying experiments. At his death he was hailed as the father of aviation and the heavier-than-air flying machine.
Immigrating to the United States with his father in 1838, Chanute attended private schools in New York City. His first job was as a member of a surveying crew with the Hudson River Railroad. He then worked his way up through a series of increasingly responsible engineering positions on western railroads. In addition, he served as chief engineer on a variety of important projects, notably the construction of the first bridge across the Missouri River.[1] Chanute was widely considered brilliant and innovative in the engineering profession. During his career he designed and constructed the United States' two biggest stock yards, Chicago Stock Yards (1865) and Kansas City Stockyards (1871). He designed and built the Hannibal Bridge which was the first bridge to cross the Missouri River in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1869 and established Kansas City as the dominant city in the region. He designed many other bridges during his railroad career. Chanute also established a procedure for pressure-treating wooden railroad ties with an antiseptic that increased the wood's lifespan in the tracks. In 1883, Chanute retired from the Erie Railway to become an independent engineering consultant.
Already in 1875, he had visited Europe and learned of the extensive efforts being made there, particularly by F.H. Wenham in England, to develop mechanical flight. Not until he retired from his engineering business in 1889 did Chanute have opportunity for personal study and experiment in aeronautics. With the same analytical persistence that had made him a successful engineer he undertook to learn what had gone before. Chanute collected all available data from flight experimenters around the world and combined it with the knowledge gathered as a civil engineer in the past. He published his findings in the influential book Progress in Flying Machines in 1894. This was the most systematic global survey of fixed-wing heavier-than-air aviation research published up to that time.[2]
A twelve-winged glider of Chanute's design, prepared for launch from the dunes of Miller Beach in 1896.
Chanute was too old to fly himself, so he partnered with younger experimenters, including Augustus M. Herring and William Avery. In 1896 Chanute, Herring, and Avery tested a design based on the work of German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal,[4] as well as hang gliders of their own design in the dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan near the town of Miller Beach, Indiana, just east of what became the city of Gary. Chanute also sponsored the work of others, including the Albatross by Bustov and a paper tube glider that was ruined by a rainstorm before it could be tested. These experiments convinced Chanute that the best way to achieve extra lift without a prohibitive increase in weight was to stack several wings one above the other, an idea proposed by the British engineer Francis Wenham in 1866 and realized in flight by Otto Lilienthal in the 1890s. Chanute introduced the "strut-wire" braced wing structure that would be used in powered biplanes of the future, not seriously challenged until the pioneering efforts of Hugo Junkers [5] to develop all-metal cantilever airframe technology without external bracing from 1915 onwards. The Wright brothers [6] based their glider designs on the Chanute "double-decker," as they called it. A new design of a biplane glider was developed and flown in 1897.
Chanute corresponded with many aviation pioneers, including Otto Lilienthal, Gabriel Voisin, Louis Blériot, and Alberto Santos Dumont. Chanute freely shared his knowledge about aviation with anyone who was interested and expected others to do the same, although he did encourage colleagues to patent their inventions. His open approach led to friction with the Wright brothers, with whom he had exchanged more than 100 letters between 1900 and 1910. Nevertheess, Chanute helped to publicize the Wright brothers' work, and provided consistent encouragement. He also witnessed many of the early Wright flights, including the 1902 glider and 1904 and 1905 powered flyer. Chanute died on November 23, 1910, in Chicago, Illinois.

Who is joining Alexandra, Conyee and I for a Saturday Happy Hour on 13 April? It promises to be an evening for you to catch up with expats you know, to meet new ones who are fresh to the group, or just to enjoy the French Vietnamese ambiance of Le Colonial. So, don't miss this opportunity to meet friends and mingle with other expats and global minds from all over the world!
As always, Alexandra, Conyee, and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, 13 April!


Cream Sherry is a wine that is not usually regarded as a serious wine by the world's leading wine connoisseurs but it is unlikely that anyone who has said this has ever tried Bodegas Tradicion's Cream. This is probably the only Cream on the market to have achieved a VOS Status meaning it must have an average age of at least 20 years making this a truly unique wine.
Nose:There is a lot going on on the nose. Firstly the classic oloroso aromas of toffee, burnt sugar and walnuts hit the nose swiftly followed by some luscious PX notes of dried fig, raisons and dates. There are some cinnamon spice and all things nice in the background.
Palate: You are taken on journey with this Cream. Initially it appears dry and the tangy oloroso flavours are to the forefront, then the palate is hit with the sweetness of the PX; dates, figs and orange marmalade. The finish becomes dry again and is surprisingly refreshing considering its sweetness.
Comments: This is a wonderful wine that oozes quality. As cream Sherries go this is the best you will ever try bar none.
Nose: Very powerful nutty notes along with fruity aromas; raisins, figs and plums all joined in a superb mixture of dried fruits.
Palate:It is very smooth, with a feel of soft texture, dense but light at a time. It has a dry component which produces a very intense sensation which is lighten by the sweet and fresh side of this old wine resulting in a refreshing finish.


Do you prefer driving automatics or manuals?
I bought a new car 6 months ago. I had been driving an automatic, but I really wanted a manual. My dad's old car was a manual and I missed driving stick. However I had to drive to Indianapolis (1.5 hrs away) to even find a manual. They seem to be going on the endangered list. However I definitely prefer the manual over the automatic. I for one really like to drive, so driving a manual gives me more control and more of a challenge which I really enjoy. I recently drove it to Key West and it did great. I also am getting 40 mpg. It was only rated for 36 mpg, but I tend to drive a lot easier than most people so that's probably why I'm getting better mileage. I also know that when something goes wrong with a manual they are generally cheaper to fix since they are less complex. I also like that most people my age don't know how to drive one, so no one ever wants to borrow my car. The sad part is that in another decade or two I doubt I will even be able to buy one anymore unless I import it from Europe (where 80% of the cars are still manuals).
Re: Do you prefer driving automatics or manuals?
I prefer manual. When I was younger it was more fun. I never really cared about the extra control. Automatics shift fine and manuals give you more control to make bad shifting decisions. A lot of people don't realize that different cars have different shift points and tend to over-rev. My car likes early shifts if I'm accelerating gently, as I often do. My cousin once had a sporty car that lugged easily and needed to be kept at higher RPMs. That awareness is what I now like most about manuals. I do like having the extra movements (driving an automatic is boring) but, even more, I like how it makes you feel what the car feels and adapt to the different driving conditions. It also teaches you about how a car likes to be driven, as demonstrated by the difference between my car and my cousin's.
Around here, in Texas, a lot of the kids in rural areas know how to drive them, particularly males. A lot of them don't know how to change a tire, change the oil, or even change the air filter, but they learn to drive with a manual transmission, probably because that's a skill that's more easily shown off.
I grew up driving automatics, but at least one of my cars was a stickshift for about two decades, from 1988 or so to 2008. The two manuals I drove in those two decades accumulated about 375,000 miles before each bit the dust.
It was fun while it lasted (especially the two unsuccessful attempts to steal my car, by thieves who didn't know how to drive a stickshift), except for having to work the clutch all the time in my daily commute. The stress on my left ankle probably contributed to the mysterious and sudden fracture of that ankle (both tibia and fibula) in 2006, which required surgery and left me essentially house- and wheelchair-bound for several weeks. That made me fall out of love with my stickshift car, and when it was totaled by a drunk driver in 2008 I replaced it with a Prius (which I still own) for which a CVT automatic was the only available transmission.
My current road-trip ride is a Subaru compact SUV. I could've gotten one with a stickshift rather than a CVT if I tried hard enough, but decided I was too old to go back to a manual.
Automatic; for one I hate driving manuals in traffic and secondly they generally have become the better preforming variant. I "prefer" a multimatic like my Challenger has but I don't miss it that much in a daily driver like my Impreza.
Automatic. My first car though (1988-1990) was a stick and I bought it without knowing how to drive one. My Porsche 1999-2001 also was and I remembered how to drive it quickly.
I prefer manuals to the point that I'd rather drive a 1995 Toyota Tercel than a new Ferrari - for me the joy of driving a performance car doesn't come from the shift speed or the paddles, it's from manipulating a big powerful engine with the clutch pedal while banging through gears with a physical shifter. So I'm really sad that this doesn't seem to be the preferred option anymore.
I have one manual car and one automatic car and much prefer the manual, which I use as my primary vehicle - I intend to keep a stick-shift car as my primary driver as long as it is possible to do so, fully knowing that I'll probably need to order my next new car (and pay the corresponding premium) in a few years.
I've only ever driven manual, so I cannot give an unbiased answer. They are far more common in Europe.
I've never owned an automatic, although my wife's Acura has a nine-speed automatic. I don't mind the manual in traffic, I'm sure in part because I'm used to it; I find my right leg gets more tired from riding the brake than my left leg does from riding the clutch. In the automatic I'm nervous about the unfamiliar kickdown feature, and when I drive hers I use the paddles more often than she does, either to pass on a two-lane road or to force a downshift on a hill or the like. I'm more comfortable controlling the downshift than I am letting the car do it, and on hills I've found many automatics try to hold too high a gear and I suspect this is why many drivers slow down too much going up anything more than a minor gradient.
I don't even know how to drive a manual, so...automatic.
Depends on the situation. My main car (an Acura TL) has a 6-speed automatic with a manual mode, but I also have a manual Honda Prelude that I drive from time to time.
Manual, but I haven't owned one since 2005.
Manual - I've never even owned an automatic, in fact (and have no plans to). My Mom used to prefer manual as well, but traded in her manual Civic for an automatic Ford Edge last year. The automatic transmission and additional height from being a SUV are easier on her knees.
I should say that it's rather difficult (impossible?) to find a seven-passenger vehicle with a stick shift. We have a family of five and we (1) haul stuff on a regular basis and (2) travel with others to Mexico on an annual basis. Basically, other priorities top that of having stick shift.
In the automatic I'm nervous about the unfamiliar kickdown feature, and when I drive hers I use the paddles more often than she does, either to pass on a two-lane road or to force a downshift on a hill or the like.
Kicking down is really easy when it is a request for increased power: just put your foot down and hold it there. But the transmission has to be maintained in order for kickdown to be consistently smooth.
When the transmission kicks down, there should be a brief pause (often the PCM is configured to retard ignition timing to ease the torque transfer across different wet clutch combinations), then an increase in engine buzz as the engine spins up to the higher RPM, and a gentle "springing forward" sensation of increased acceleration as the driveline winds up and the added power starts reaching the wheels. If the fluid is old and thin, as happens when the transmission is not maintained properly, there is often a slam as the gears change, which has the effect of frightening drivers.
I'm more comfortable controlling the downshift than I am letting the car do it, and on hills I've found many automatics try to hold too high a gear and I suspect this is why many drivers slow down too much going up anything more than a minor gradient.
My suspicion, as someone who has climbed hills using an automatic, is that most drivers try foot-feeding their way up hills and react far too late to avoid speed drops once their vehicles bite into grades. To avoid significant speed drop, you almost have to start accelerating for the hill before you reach it.
For mild to moderate grades, solenoid-actuated cruise control is generally better at responding promptly to speed drops as the car starts ascending. In my Saturn, which has working cruise control with TranSynd in the transmission sump, I can set the cruise control for 65 at the bottom of I-70 just west of Denver, move into the far left-hand lane, and pass everyone else on cruise control all the way up the grade (about 6%). The transmission just bounces from 4th to 3rd and back again (shifting smoothly each time) as required to correct small speed drops.
The Saturn is 1990's tech. 2000's tech includes hill detection logic, which can hold speed within even tighter limits and, to an extent, control speed on downgrades without driver intervention. The hill detection logic on my 2005 Camry works so well that when I go over the Fred Hartman Bridge in Houston, I move to the far left-hand lane, passing everyone else that slows down for the climb to the top of the navigational envelope, and then move to the far right-hand lane, being passed by everyone else, with cruise control maintaining set speed of 60 throughout.
Bottom line: most drivers don't have reflexes good enough, or pay close enough attention, to outperform control logic when attempting to hold a steady speed through changes in vertical alignment.
P.S. I suspect many drivers may have a preference for trying to foot-feed their way up grades that was learned during the 1980's, when vacuum-actuated cruise control was state of the art. With vacuum actuation it does make sense to change over to foot-feeding because it is almost impossible to make the vacuum diaphragm big enough to pull hard enough on the throttle cable when the engine is under heavy load and intake vacuum is minimal. This is especially true at high altitudes (e.g., I-70 over Vail Summit), because ambient air pressure is so much closer to manifold absolute pressure to begin with.
I know what the kickdown feature is. I'm just not used to it because I've driven manuals for 30 years. There have been times when I've accidentally kicked down in various rental cars and the like just because I wasn't thinking about it.
I have never driven a manual. I do find the idea of constantly babysitting the car to become annoying if I did try to drive one.
You have to think about what combinations of gear and speed the car "likes" with automatics, just like manuals, and it takes time to do this with a given car. As an example, my Saturn usually shifts from 3rd to 4th at around 33 MPH, so if I accelerate to 35 and then allow it to slow down so the cruise control picks it up at just above 30, some of the time it will continue rolling in 4th and other times it will kick down to 3rd, and kickdown can be elicited with the merest pressure on the throttle pedal.
I actually find myself babysitting a car with an automatic more than a car with a manual on steep hills: that's because it never seems to shift when I want it to, so I need to fiddle a bit to get it more in line with my wishes.
I should say that it's rather difficult (impossible?) to find a seven-passenger vehicle with a stick shift.
One would have likely have go to back to at least a 1960s vintage bare bones full-size station wagon for such (3-on-the-tree in an H pattern) in order to find such.
My second car was a 1980 Buick Skylark near the end of its lifespan, and it was a manual transmission. I learned to drive manual on that, which is no easy task living in a city built on hills. But I really enjoyed it, and when I bought my 1994 Saturn SL2 and later my 2001 Audi A4, I was in a position to buy new and was able to get manual transmissions. I put about 380,000 miles combined on the two cars. My most recent two cars have been great, but unfortunately are automatic transmissions. It made more financial sense to buy a used card each of those times (I refuse to have a car payment), and the manual transmission wasn't enough of a priority to pass up what were otherwise very good fits for me.
There's a few of the first and second generation Chrysler vans out there with a stick. You could also get a Ford Aerostar with one.
I believe the Mazda 5 is the most recent seven passenger vehicle available with a stick though.
Because of my manual transmission preference, my kids 'inherited' manual tranni's as their first cars. My daughter said that in high school, lots of boys asked her out on dates because they were impressed that a girl could -- and even preferred to -- drive stick.
Automatic. Why make driving more difficult than it has to be?

Vietnamese banks remain attractive to foreign investors
Vietnamese banks are still attractive to foreign investors thanks to the country's economy and strong resilience to unprecedented difficulties and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With Fitch Ratings raising the overall outlook for Việt Nam from "Stable" to "Positive", several Vietnamese banks have also been rated positive by the international rating agency. The rating has confirmed the strength of Vietnamese banks in adapting and maintaining stability even amid difficult times.
Despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, Việt Nam is still considered a bright spot in the global economy. According to a recent analysis, Asian Development Bank assessed that Việt Nam's economy would grow strongly this year at 6.7 per cent and 7 per cent in 2022 despite the resurgence of COVID-19.
Many Vietnamese banks have also become more active in looking for foreign partners with an aim to realise their set goals and strategies.
VPBank in April signed an agreement to sell a 49 per cent stake in FE Credit to Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Finance Group (SMFG) in a transaction that values the non-bank lender at US$2.8 billion.
Through this transaction, FE Credit is expected to receive support in capital resources, management capacity and experience in the consumer finance sector in Asia from SMBC Group, especially SMBCCF - a leading consumer finance company in the Japanese market.
At the same time, this transaction will add a large amount of capital to VPBank, contributing to enhancing the bank's financial potential to capture new investment opportunities in the market.
At SHB, to find and select foreign investors who can support and bring the best benefits to the bank as well as its shareholders and customers, the SHB's general meeting of shareholders recently approved fixing the foreign ownership rate of 10 per cent to find and select strategic partners. The bank also approved the ownership ratio of foreign strategic investors at the bank to be not more than 20 per cent of charter capital.
Nguyễn Văn Lê, General Director of SHB, said there were now several financial groups, banks and large investment funds in the world that wanted to become investors in SHB.
SHB also planned to issue international bonds with a total value of $500 million with a term of 3-5 years. According to Lê, for shareholders, the issuance of bonds to the international market not only increases profit margins and adds value to shareholders through the pidend plan, but also contributes to improving the value of each shareholder in the long run. — VNS

Foreign minister details six priorities of diplomatic sector in 2023
Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son has highlighted the six priorities the diplomatic sector will focus on in 2023, during a recent interview granted to the press.
Efforts to bring the corporate bond market to the "rails"
VCN - After strong development, from the first quarter of 2022, the corporate bond market has tended to decrease. Decree No. 65/ND-CP is expected to help the corporate bond market have a legal basis for developing healthier and more sustainable products. However, the provisions of Decree 65 are considered "too strong" because the corporate bond market is being affected by many adverse factors. Therefore, developing the Decree amending Decree 65 (Decree No. 65 + 1) with many options to remove difficulties for businesses is expected to revive the market.
The real estate market will gradually warm up and stabilize until the end of the year
VCN - Nguyen Van Dinh (Photo), Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, commented on the real estate market in 2023.

Despite US President Joe Biden showing his resolve to find out whether the coronavirus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident in a latest attempt to hype the virus-leakage conspiracy theory, scientists and foreign affairs experts from the US and China said they do not expect a credible report from the untrustworthy US intelligence community in 90 days as it is not a scientific institution at all.
Directing the intelligence community rather than scientific professionals shows the US is purely politicizing the tracing of the virus origins, considering the domestic political pressure Biden is facing amid the most intense-ever China-US ties, they said.
And no matter what kind of report the intelligence agencies finally submit, it would only be a weapon for some US politicians to scapegoat China, they stressed, calling for the US to reflect on its own problems and open its mysterious biolabs all over the world for investigations.
Biden released a statement on Wednesday, asking its intelligence community to report back to him in 90 days about whether the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident.
The US recorded the most COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world, exceeding 33 million and 600,000, respectively. They do not reflect on themselves, but try to scapegoat China instead. "I want to ask them, what are you really up to? Where is your conscience?" Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian asked at a routine press conference on Thursday.
"I'm sure that this is the correct thing for Biden to state publicly, considering the continued attacks from the Republicans…Biden clearly would like this to go away, but has to address it because the Republicans are aggressive and he only has s small majority," a foreign expert close to the WHO-led investigation team told Global Times under condition of anonymity on Thursday.
"The direction is ridiculous. How could intelligence agencies figure out such a major scientific question in 90 days?" Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Thursday.
"Tracing the virus origins is just another weapon for the US to wage vicious attacks against China, in addition to affairs related to Xinjiang and Hong Kong," Lü said.
Lü noted that the US intelligence community has always been a political tool and the results in 90 days depend on the US' political demand then.
Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo, once an intelligence chief, managed foreign affairs with a shady mindset revolving around lying, cheating and threats. He said, "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole ... We had entire training courses" in a public discussion at Texas A&M University in April 2019.
"Why would anyone trust the results of an investigation conducted by such untrustworthy intelligence agencies?" Zhao asked.
Chinese observers said the intelligence report is doomed to be a political tool for the Biden administration as Biden is no different from Trump on scapegoating and smearing China over the origins of the virus to fully contain China. The difference is that Biden is more hypocritical.
Biden said that he had made a decision after reviewing a report of the intelligence community earlier this month. One day after Biden's statement, CNN reported that this spring Biden had stopped an investigation led by Pompeo to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab.
Closing the previous administration's project and launching a new one requiring redoubled efforts. Biden just wants to prove that he is doing better than his predecessor in defeating China, observers said.
If Pompeo received intelligence that would convince people, he would have released it, the anonymous foreign expert said.
Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of China Foreign Affairs University, warned that for the next step, the US probably would try to bring in more partners to file a lawsuit against China and claim compensation.
In April, 2020, the US state of Missouri became the first US state to sue the Chinese government over its handling of COVID-19.
"Such a lawsuit would be nothing but a farce," Zhu Wei, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Thursday.
Zhu explained that if a US state wants to sue China, a sovereign country, it could only file the lawsuit through US judicial procedures, which has no jurisdiction over China; if another sovereign country wants to sue China, it can file the lawsuit through international tribunals, which is beyond example even during the horrific 1918 influenza pandemic that caused 40-50 million deaths worldwide.
The lawsuit is invalid in terms of the US judicial procedure as it has no jurisdiction over China, not to mention that there is no evidence at all supporting such a lawsuit, Zhu noted.
Chinese experts close to the China-WHO joint study also showed confidence in their previous work and said they would not fear any of the US' challenges.
A Chinese expert from the WHO-China joint team told the Global Times on Thursday the WHO has already thoroughly taken field studies in China, which came up with conclusions on the basis of facts and data.
"All the materials that we could offer [on the origins-tracing] have been given to the WHO experts, and our conclusion of the WHO-China joint study can stand with scrutiny and testimonies," he said.
Responding to the so-called probe from the intelligence community, Yuan Zhiming, director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, told the Global Times on Thursday that "we have confidence and we will continue sticking to our minds on [scientific research.]"
The US has turned a deaf ear to calls from international experts and the public, not only from China, but also other countries including Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine, for investigation into their mysterious biolabs.
"How many secrets are hidden in the US' Fort Detrick lab and other biolabs overseas from the rest of the world? What is the truth of the outbreaks of respiratory disease in northern Virginia in July 2019 and the EVALI outbreak in Wisconsin? The US owes the world an explanation," Zhao Lijian said Thursday.
The Chinese Embassy in US said in a statement that China supports a comprehensive study of all early cases of COVID-19 found worldwide and a thorough investigation into some secret bases and biological labs all over the world, after US President Joe Biden ordered intelligence to "redouble" their work to determine origins of coronavirus.

Songwriter, humorist and educator Jana Stanfield joined us live in WSHU's Studio A for the first hour of Profiles to share her inspirational wisdom and music, which she describes as "psychotherapy you can dance to". Jana's enjoyed a lengthy and distinguished career not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a keynote speaker for conferences, the owner of a successful record company and a world traveler and host of volunteer and eco-tours. She was in Connecticut for two days of events at the Westport United Methodist Church, including a songwriting workshop, a concert, and a Sunday Sermon in Song. I can remember receiving her first recording as a cassette tape with hand-produced art and packaging. Our thanks still once again to WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich who engineered the session.
I highlighted some stellar tracks from highly recommended recent album releases for the show's second hour, including a pre-release copy of Vance Gilbert's "Old White Men." The Joe Crookston album was issued in 2008 but is new to Profiles!

Hey, thanks for another great podcast. More than one of my English friends have told me they are voting Labour this election, for the first time ever. In part because of their dismay with May (if you pardon my turn of phrase), and in part because they believe Corbyn to be the lesser of two evils (none apparently considering the LibDems). Assuming for a moment that Labour would win (which I understand is unlikely), who do they have, with foreign policy experience, who could take over the Brexit negotiations? Ed Milliband? As I understand, he's of a more centrist persuasion, and doesn't belong to Corbyns more old-School faction of Labour.
Glad to see I didn't accidentally unsubscribe from the RSS feed.
Have paused halfway through the episode for a pedantic correction: I believe it was the Anglo-Irish Agreement that Corbyn opposed, not the Good Friday Agreement. Or at least, that's definitely the one that speech in parliament was about. As ever, I imagine this will be pointed out the second I unpause the podcast.
What's wrong with Keir Starmer for Brexit?
@David I just mentioned Ed Milliband because he used to be foreign secretary (in Gordon Browns government). I was just interested in knowing who would have necessary foreign policy experience to undertake the task.
Your comment about May making herself more sympathetic reminds me of the time the Progressive Conservatives here ran an ad that *seemed* to highlight Jean Chretien's Bell's palsy.
The Tories were reduced to two seats on election night.
Welcome back chaps. Kept me company whilst I was trimming our trees. Hopefully not so long a wait until we have a post-election episode.

Q: How can I make backspace not count as a character? So, I have to encrypt my console application with a password, i did something that's working but there is a problem, backsapce doesn't erase the character entered, it is also counted as a character, how can I make it to do its job, to erase the character?
This is the code:
void main()
{
    char password[20], my_password[20] = "password";
    int i;
    char ch;
    system("cls");
    cout << "PASSWORD: ";

    i = 0;
    do
    {
        ch = _getch();
        password[i] = ch;
        if (ch != 27 && ch != 13 && ch != 9)
            cout<<"*";
        else
            break;
        i++;
    } while (i < 19);
    password[i] = '\0';

    if (strcmp(password, my_password) != 0)
    {
        cout << "\n\nIncorrect password !!!";
        cin.get();
        return;
    }
    cout << "\n\nPassword is correct !";
    cout <<"\n\nThe program is executed !";
    cin.get();
}

A: "how can I make it to do its job, to erase the character?"
Use a curses library. Like ncurses.

A: You could check if the character received is a backspace, if it is decrement i which will effectively remove the last character.
    i = 0;
    do
    {
        ch = _getch(); // get the character
        if(ch == DEL || ch == BS) // check for backspace
        {
            i--;
            cout << BS;
        }
        else if(ch >= ' ' && ch <= '~') // check if its valid ASCII
        {
            password[i] = ch;
            cout << "*";
            i++;
        }
        else if (ch == 27 || ch == 13 || ch == 9) // check if entry is complete
        {
            break;
        }

    } while (i < 19);

    password[i] = '\0';

somewhere else
#define BS '\b'
#define DEL 127

A: void main()
{
    char password[20], my_password[20] = "password";
    int i;
    char ch;
    system("cls");
    cout << "PASSWORD: ";

    i = 0;
    do
    {
        ch = _getch();
        if (ch == 8)
        {
            i--;
            cout << "\b \b";
            continue;
        }

        password[i] = ch;
        if (ch != 27 && ch != 13 && ch != 9)
            cout << "*";
        else
            break;
        i++;
    } while (i < 19);
    password[i] = '\0';

    if (strcmp(password, my_password) != 0)
    {
        cout << "\n\nIncorrect password !!!";
        cin.get();
        return;
    }
    cout << "\n\nPassword is correct !";
    cout << "\n\nThe program is executed !";
    cin.get();
}

Not the cleanest code but it works. Decrement the counter to over write the previous character and output two backspace characters separated by a space.

Q: Pandas и openpyxl и Nan Есть два столбца в Excel. Один заполнен, в другом есть пустые ячейки. Задача: заменить пустые ячейки одного столбца, на значения соответствующих ячеек другого столбца. Данную задачу реализовала с помощью openpyxl :
for i in range(2, sheet2.max_row + 1):
    if sheet2.cell(row=i, column=4).value==None:
        sheet2.cell(row=i, column=4).value=sheet2.cell(row=i, column=3).value

хочу переписать скрипт с помощью pandas. У меня такое ощущение, что он не воспринимает NaN.
Например:
in: data1['4'].unique()
out: [nan '1']

Хочу заменить nan, ничего не происходит. пробовала разные варианты.
Например:
column_4=list(data1.iloc[:,4])
column_3=list(data1.iloc[:,3])
column_4=[[x for x in column_3] if x == None else x for x in column_4]

column_4-остается без изменений.
Даже если заменить на другое значение:
column_4=["A" if x == None else x for x in column_4]

Если меняю условие:
column_4=["A" if x != None else x for x in column_4]

Тоже он мне везде А печатает.
Есть вариант реализовать просто со столбцами , без списков?

A: Скорее всего пустые ячейки в Excel будут прочитаны как NaN ("Not a Number") в Pandas. И т.к. None != NaN ваш код не будет работать:
In [38]: np.nan == None
Out[38]: False

Попробуйте воспользоваться pd.Series.fillna():
In [42]: df = pd.DataFrame({"a":[1,2,3], "b":[10, np.nan, np.nan]})

In [43]: df
Out[43]:
   a     b
0  1  10.0
1  2   NaN
2  3   NaN

In [44]: df["b"] = df["b"].fillna(df["a"])

In [45]: df
Out[45]:
   a     b
0  1  10.0
1  2   2.0
2  3   3.0


I came across an article that made mention of how going out in the sunshine may reduce the risk of developing Rheumatoid Arthritis. After reading the article carefully, it so turned out that the suspicions are that the levels of vitamin D had more to do with it then anything else.
Exposure to sunshine and UV-B light increases the UV levels in our bodies which stimulate the production of vitamin D. Deficiency of this vitamin can cause all kinds of immune and other disorders. That was already known and, although the studies have not been confirmed yet, it now seems that this same vitamin may shield us from getting RA or lower its effects.
It is a given that most people with RA also show low levels of vitamin D. Exposing themselves to sunlight or taking vitamin D supplement could be very helpful. Advised is not to go out in the sun for longer then 15 minutes, otherwise the risks of sunburn and skin cancer are increased.
In case you can stand and are able to take the heat for that long, don't use a sun block, because that would totally defeat the purpose. Everything in moderation is the key here and 15 minutes is more then enough. Don't overdo it; the effects could be disastrous.
There are many times in our lives when the heat is being put on us and it is not easy determining when to pull out or how much longer to take it. There is no limit to getting advice and seeking words of wisdom. It is even advisable to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. You can never get enough of God's word; the effects are life, health, and healing!

We believe this consultation will positively improve the way we operate as a business. With our founding partners retiring at the end of this year, this has given Chuck, Josh and I, a good foundation to confidently and effectively lead the firm into the future.
I am very satisfied with the work Cogent did for our firm. It has allowed us to provide clarity of the roles and responsibilities for both the executive team and staff. We are now able to clearly focus more intently on assigned responsibilities instead of trying to tackle everything at once.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with Bob and will contact him with any needs as they arise.

Have you thought about working out at home but you're not sure where to start? Do you think you don't have enough room for a home gym?
If the problem of creating a gym in your home is overwhelming, this guide can help you choose the best home gym equipment for you, the space you have available, and your budget.
By the end of this guide, you'll already have your home gym planned out and a plan for making it a reality.
The list of benefits when getting your workout at home is extensive. Fitness Magazine lists 15 benefits, but there are many more. In fact, many of those who work out at home find it easier to get motivated and easier to stick by their fitness goals.
While you may find benefits all your own, these are my top three benefits of having a home gym.
I can't use the excuse that the drive is too long, I don't want to deal with traffic, or there's not enough gas in my car.
My looks don't matter. I could be having the worst hair day, don't feel like putting makeup on, or I'm wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When done with my work out, I can head to my own shower instead of a gym shower that may not be the cleanest. Plus, it's just more comfortable to shower at home.
Cardio exercise, which gets its name from its cardiopulmonary benefits, is vital to a well-rounded workout. Cardio is any exercise that gets your heart pumping faster and your lungs breathing harder.
When this happens, you're strengthening your heart and lungs which can lower your risk for a heart attack or stroke. It can also lower your LDL, or bad cholesterol, and raise your HDL, or good cholesterol. If you are trying to lose weight, cardio exercises will help you burn the most calories.
The benefits of cardio are wide-ranging, and you may see unexpected benefits as you incorporate this type of exercise into your home workout routine.
While just going for a run can be considered a cardiovascular exercise, this isn't always feasible. Having the right cardio home gym equipment can make it much easier to get your heart pumping.
However, having an entire home gym filled with every expensive machine available still may not give you the best value. It's important to have the equipment that you feel most comfortable using and offers the workout you look forward to.
There are many kinds of cardio exercise equipment that are perfect for home use. Let's look at some of the best.
A treadmill is the gold standard of home workouts. A treadmill makes it easier to get moving without having to drive to the gym to use one and without having to go out in weather that may not be the best.
The best home treadmill for you will be one that offers the features you're looking for. If you plan on using your treadmill for HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, you'll want one that can be programmed for this kind of run. Having an adjustable incline can also help with HIIT workouts or it can be used to level up the intensity of your cardio.
If you don't have a lot of room for a treadmill in your home, there are also folding treadmills available that take up much less space. These folding treadmills are just as awesome as traditional treadmills but with a smaller footprint.
There are many types of exercise bikes that are perfect for a home gym. The kind you choose will be dependent on the type of cardio exercise you plan on doing.
Some exercise bikes can be used in several different ways, which makes them a great value for a home gym. In this way, you won't need a bike for each cardiovascular exercise, as one can do the job of several.
A spin bike is often used for HIIT training. It's designed so you can pedal faster as well as incorporate other postures. You may be standing while pedaling, you may be leaning over the handlebars, or you may be sitting on the seat for the short duration between intervals.
If you're looking for a less intense workout but still want to get the important cardio while working out at home, a stationary exercise bike is ideal. A stationary exercise bike can be used in many ways, often has adjustable resistance, and may even have features such as a display that can tell you the stats of your workout.
If a stationary exercise bike doesn't fit your needs and you're looking for a slow introduction to the world of cardio, a recumbent bike allows you to get a similar exercise while adapting it to your body's needs or limitations.
Just as with the folding treadmills mentioned above, if you're short on space a folding exercise bike can allow you to add a great piece of cardio exercise equipment to your home gym without it taking up as much space. Many have the same features as other exercise bikes that are designed for home use.
If you're tired of the same old, same old when it comes to getting the cardio exercise you need for the health of your body, there are several ways to change up the routine.
In years past, having an elliptical trainer in your home was nearly impossible unless you had a fair bit of space available for it. Now there are elliptical trainers that are designed with a smaller footprint so it's easier to incorporate them into your home gym.
Elliptical training provides many of the same benefits as cardio performed on a treadmill or bike, but there's less of an impact on your knees and lower back compared to running.
If you've ever enjoyed jumping on a trampoline until you are completely out of breath, a rebounder just may be the perfect cardio exercise equipment for your home gym.
The best rebounder can combine many aspects of HIIT training while also being fun and entertaining. Rebounders also take up very little room and may even break up into smaller pieces so it can easily be put away and out of sight.
If you're not sure rebounding is for you, try a class at a local gym. If you enjoy it, having a rebounder at home can make it easier for you to get that important cardio exercise.
Low on space? Try These!
Let's face it, some of us just don't have the room in our homes to dedicate to gym equipment such as a treadmill. A vertical climber takes up very little floor space and is a great value considering that you can get your cardio as well as a whole-body workout with just this one machine.
A mini stepper is just what it says. It is a very small machine that allows you to get a workout like walking or running upstairs. This is a piece of home gym equipment that can easily be carried into another room or placed in a closet to get it out of sight and out of the way.
If you have a job that requires you to sit at a desk for long periods of time, an under-desk elliptical bike can help you to get the cardio you need while not skipping a beat when it comes to your work.
Your legs can be pedaling along under your desk whether you're writing a report, taking a call from your boss, or preparing for the next staff meeting.
Building muscle doesn't just make you feel stronger and much better physically, but lean muscle can also help you burn more calories. As important as cardio is for your home workout, strength training is just as vital.
Some of you may be thinking about a rack of dumbbells and some of you may be thinking about an entire jungle gym in your home. Neither is necessary to get a great strength training exercise right in your own home. The strength training exercise equipment you invest in can be low in cost and higher in value depending on what's best for you.
An exercise mat along with one of the best exercise balls you can find can open up an entire world of strength training exercise.
If you were to add resistance bands to this workout you can increase the intensity and see that lean muscle even faster. All of these items allow for many types of exercises which makes them a great first investment in your home gym.
All of the cardio equipment listed above can be used with the addition of ankle weights. These level up the intensity of your cardio workout and also adds an element of strength training. Improving your balance while also using nearly every muscle in your body can be done with a balance or wobble board.
These boards can be used for everything from a mild two-minute plank, to more intensive strength training using other equipment such as a medicine ball or even the resistance bands you already have.
If you're ready to up your game when it comes to strength training, there are many more home gym equipment options. Kettlebells, as well as dumbbells, are compact weights that can be used for tons of different exercises so you can target specific muscles or muscle groups. When using weights like these, be sure to invest in a great pair of weightlifting gloves.
CrossFit has become one of the most popular ways to get a complete body workout that incorporates both cardio and strength training. However, you don't need to head to a crowded gym for a CrossFit class. You can do it right in your own home, in your garage, or even your backyard.
One of the pieces of CrossFit equipment you will want to invest in are battle ropes. Just as with weights, a great pair of CrossFit gloves can keep you pushing hard without injuring your hands.
A weighted vest can be added to many types of exercises, both cardio and strength training, that intensifies the workout as well as the results. When it comes to a vest like this, a proper fit is important so that the vest stays put on your torso and doesn't put you off balance.
Many people, especially women, want to target their abs to get a lean, toned midsection. If this is you, an ab machine is designed to do the job. These take up very little room, so they are perfect for a home gym. It's easier than ever to get the targeted ab workout you're looking for.
Suspension trainers have been around quite a while but have recently gained popularity, especially for those who want an intense strength training exercise at home but have very little room. A suspension trainer uses your own body weight to create the resistance you need for the perfect workout.
Usually, all you will need is a sturdy doorframe. However, you can make a more permanent place to hang it with the right anchor and hook in your ceiling.
As you can see, even with very little monetary investment and not much room in your home for a gym, it's still possible for you to create a place in your home for the equipment you need for both cardio and strength training exercises.
Even if you have to pull out the equipment when using it and put it back up after, you will still see the many benefits of working out at home. Want to see some of the best home gyms? Check out these ones for some ideas and inspiration when building your own.


John Kerry announces the onset of negotiations. Photo: Screenshot.
In an effort to secure support for his newly launched "peace process," Secretary of State John Kerry met last Thursday evening with a selected group of American Jewish leaders. Like Rabbi Stephen Wise before them, who tacitly consented to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's determination to do nothing to rescue European Jews from the Holocaust, they comprised a roster of Court Jews.
Among the organization officials who were invited to display their deference to the Obama administration "peace process" were representatives of the American Jewish Committee, J Street, AIPAC, B'nai Brith, Hadassah, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and representatives of the Conservative and Orthodox movements.
Predictably, Kerry vigorously urged his hand-picked group to "endorse and support" the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that he has been so driven to revive. Israel, he warned, faces the threat of diplomatic isolation if it does not reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians. And, echoing President Obama during his own recent visit to Jerusalem, he warned that Israel faced a looming demographic threat to its Jewish majority without the birth of a Palestinian state.
Both assertions, however, are misguided. Too many nations, in Europe and the Middle East especially, are invested in their hallucinations of Jewish venality for a peace treaty with the Palestinians to dilute their Judeophobia. The evil Israelis, like the malevolent Jews for millennia before Israel existed, are too deeply embedded in Muslim and Christian culture for erasure by wishful thinking.
As for the demographic "threat" to Israel if "peace" with the Palestinians is not quickly reached, it doesn't exist. The "demographers of doom" (as Yoram Ettinger aptly and alliteratively identifies settlement critics), Kerry and Obama among them, are wrong. West of the Jordan River, where under international law dating to 1922 Jews have enjoyed the right of "close settlement," nearly two-thirds of the population is Jewish. The percentage of Israelis living in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank claimed by the Palestinian Authority as its homeland) is not far below the percentage of Israeli Arab citizens. And Jewish birth rates are rising while Palestinians are having fewer children.
It has always been excruciating for American Jews and their organizational leaders to be caught in the cross hairs of divided loyalty. So it was for Rabbi Wise during the Holocaust; so it also was after the war for American Jewish Committee President Joseph Proskauer, whose apprehension lest his American patriotism be questioned led him to vigorously oppose the creation of a Jewish state. So, most conspicuously, it has long been for members of the Sulzberger family, as The New York Times has consistently demonstrated in its biased coverage – in news, editorial and opinion columns – of Israel.
Headlines every day – even in the Times – reveal the ominous dangers looming on Israel's borders, and not far beyond them. Syria and Egypt are disintegrating into intra-tribal warfare; Iraq is already there; and Iran's imminent nuclear capabilities present more than a remote threat. With Al-Qaeda fighters infiltrating nearby crumbling Arab nations, it would be suicidal for Israel to permit a Palestinian state to join Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon along its pre-1967 "Auschwitz" borders.
Secretary Kerry is, of course, free to indulge his Nobel Peace Prize fantasies at Israel's expense. But given Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent decision to release Palestinian murderers from multiple life-term prison sentences to appease Mahmoud Abbas (and, surely, Kerry), and the likelihood that he will, when squeezed, freeze settlement construction, these next nine months of surrender negotiations are likely to be pregnant with the possibility of the birth of a monster at Israel's doorstep.

Our 7th and Final OSI Layer is the Physical Layer. Unless you are planning to work with or design specialist hardware there isn't much interaction required with this layer from an administrative point of view. We'll cover some of the basics here but not in-depth. This layer strays directly into the realms of science, more specifically physics and even more specially quantum physics. This is most definitely the geekiest post in this series.
Most modern computers store, process and transmit data in its simplest form, binary. It makes sense to encode data in the form of binary as even the most complex information can be broken down and represented as combinations of simple 0s and 1s. This simple representation maps very conveniently across to physical properties. The physical technologies we use today work on the premise of data being represented by one of two states, there or not there (on or off). The electronic components inside a computer are able to create and detect physical state. To simplify this to the highest level, electrical current is either present or not present inside a component on a circuit board. If it is present, that represents a 1 and if it is not, the represents a 0.
This is much easier to visualise in networking terms. If you have two nodes connected with a copper wire, the sending node is able to transmit electrical pulses down the wire and the receiving node is able to decode this as a stream of 0's and 1's. Another way of thinking of this is like the ships of World War 2 that used big lights to send messages to each other in the form of morse code. This is referred to as signalling and the whole focus of layer 1 is to define the protocols for converting data to signals along with sending/receiving them. Anything that is able to exist (and be detected) in one of two physical states can be used as a transmission device.
Our transmission media doesn't necessarily have to be electrons flowing down an electrically conducting wire. It could just as well be photons of light travelling down a fibre optic cable. It could also photons travelling through the air as part of radio magnetic waves (i.e. Wifi). When implementing the physical network, consideration must be given to the properties of the physical media, each of them will have different speed, throughput, cost and flexibility attributes. For instance, Fibre optic technologies generally cost more than their electron shuffling equivalents, but today they represent the fastest possible method moving signals from one place to another. They do this at the speed of light (299,792,458 metres per second) and that is essentially the fastest anything can travel as it's the cosmological speed limit of the entire universe. Electrical current still moves down wires pretty fast, in fact almost at the speed of light, but slightly less due to other physical factors that cause some interference and resistance to the movement.
From a WiFi perspective it's strange to think that we have electromagnetic waves running through us and all around us at all times. The transmission element in the radio wave is of course also the photon, after all, light is just an electromagnetic wave oscillating at a different (and visible) frequency than radio. I particularly like the picture below which visualised the electromagnetic wave of WiFi propagating across a city.
Wow, time to make our way out of the land of geek. This is as much as we'll cover here as this is a Primer and not a physics course.


They played about five songs, which sounded pretty awful. At one point Patrick said (into the mic, during a song) "you fucked that up" to Christopher [Reimer, guitarist]. Christopher and Matthew [Flegel, bassist] left the stage at the end of the song. Michael [Wallace, drummer] left after another minute or two or later, saying "my music career is over." Lucky turned the house music on while Patrick continued "playing." Security tried to talk him off stage. He left, and then came back and started smashing Matthew's guitar against an amp. This was all extra comical in Halloween costumes (Mr. T, a sailor).
With a heavy heart, we regret to say that the band Women is exhausted and are in need of a break from touring. They have experienced a lot of stress recently, and this culminated in a disastrous public conflict on Friday. Band members have been suffering from poor health, and are in near-exhaustion; as of today, all upcoming shows [including a European tour] have been canceled.
We feel that it's necessary to emphasize that this is a very difficult time for the band, and is not a trivial decision for a group that has spent as much time touring as they have. The band is a close-knit group of friends that have known each other since elementary school, and the personal health of these individuals forces this decision.
The band would appreciate some privacy as they sort things out and recover.
Hopefully things get cozy again soon, Women.

Corporate & Group
Standing by European small and medium-sized enterprises
From the Next Generation EU's SME strategy to Generali's initiatives to support businesses hit by the pandemic: here is how to help the companies that make up the bedrock of the European economy, while enabling them to grow again, sustainably
Covid-19 has dealt a heavy blow to small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe, many of which were, and still are, at risk of being wiped out by the tsunami. One of the immediate economic consequences of the pandemic was a sudden lack of liquidity that particularly affected SMEs, and that discourages banks from lending them money, especially because of the sudden increase in perceived risk. That is why EU guarantees are needed to support these loans, together with reforms and investments dedicated to SMEs.
Financing and investment guarantees: EU measures to support SMEs
The Next Generation EU contains a specific package in this regard: the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF),1 which currently includes measures for the benefit of SMEs with an estimate of at least € 44 billion, but overall available resources could amount to around109 billion euros, equal to around 24% of the total expenditure. In addition, the Next Generation SME Strategy2 was approved on 19 January to urge the EU and Member States to provide SMEs with financial support as well as a favourable business environment with guarantees of equal conditions, the opportunity to win public contracts and investments, and streamlined administrative procedures, including for an easier access to EU funds.

There's more than Next Generation EU
But the tools provided by the Next Generation EU are not the only ones available to SMEs. In June 2020, the European Commission released 1 billion euros from the InvestEU Programme3 and the total estimated available funding now available of 8 billion euros will enable the European Investment Fund (EIF) to issue special guarantees to encourage banks and other lenders to provide liquidity to at least 100,000 European SMEs affected by the economic impact of the pandemic.
Also worthy of note is the Employment and Social Innovation Programme (EaSI),4 a funding instrument aimed at promoting a high level of sustainable and quality employment, guaranteeing adequate and decent social protection, combating social exclusion and poverty and improving working conditions.
What about the private sector and insurers?
The private sector can also provide support to the real economy. It is the case of insurance companies, which, with € 11 trillion of assets under management and solid expertise in long-term investments, can be investors and advisors supporting governments for the recovery and development of sectors such as the green and digital transformation.
They can also transfer solidity and resilience to the economic and social system, preparing for increasing systemic risks such as pandemics. In this sense, Generali has been actively engaged alongside public authorities in designing and implementing a Pandemic Fund, where the burden of systemic risks can be shared between national authorities, insurers, and capital markets. But the Lion's commitment on this front includes many other projects.
Investments, dedicated insurance solutions, and a culture of sustainability: Generali's plan to revitalise European SMEs
Already in March 2020, Generali was among the first insurers to take action in the midst of the health and economic emergency, launching an anti-pandemic initiative that, during the year, identified ten investment opportunities constituting a total investment of € 1.05 billion. The insurance industry, national governments and institutions have therefore collaborated in covering the costs associated with business shutdowns.
Another important step was taken in February 2021, when Generali presented Fenice 190, a five-year € 3.5 billion investment plan, including € 1.05 billion invested in 2020, to support the relaunch of European economies affected by COVID-19. Resources dedicated to sustainable growth through international investment funds focusing on infrastructure, innovation and digitalization, SMEs, green housing, health care facilities and education.
Generali's commitment includes insurance solutions especially dedicated to SMEs, which are key in the new strategic plan Lifetime Partner 24: Driving Growth. These are innovative and modular tools, enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to bridge their protection gap, for example through cyber risk protection coverage and parametric solutions in the agricultural sector. The offer also includes risk advisory services which leverage the most up-to-date technology and are enhanced by the significant assistance role of the Group's agents network. A hallmark and fundamental resource for Generali's ambition to be a Lifetime Partner to its customers.
SME EnterPRIZE, promoting sustainability in small and medium-sized enterprises
For a real green recovery and just transition, all actors of the European business fabric need to integrate sustainability into their business models. This is all the more important for SMEs, which account for over 99% of companies in the EU. It is not only a matter of caring for the environment and making proper use of resources, but also of taking care of communities and of the well-being of employees and their families.
That is why Generali launched SME EnterPRIZE, the initiative created to support SMEs in the sustainable transition and in adopting a culture of sustainability, in line with the European Union's ambition for a greener and more inclusive economy, by providing visibility to the best practices implemented and stimulating public debate on the topic. Yet another element in the Company's commitment to supporting SMEs – a commitment that includes a continuous exchange of views with national and European institutions as well as with academia and the private sector. That way, it is possible to examine the challenges and development opportunities for a business segment that is key to the sustainable growth of the continent's economy.

Norman Horwitz, neurosurgeon who operated on D.C. police officer wounded in Reagan assassination attempt, dies at 87
By Rebecca Cohen October 3, 2012, The Washington Post
Norman Horwitz, a Washington neurosurgeon who helped successfully treat a D.C. police officer wounded by President Ronald Reagan's would-be assassin in 1981, died Oct. 2 at his home in Chevy Chase. He was 87.
He died of complications from Parkinson's disease, said his son Tony Horwitz, the author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
Dr. Horwitz was a professor emeritus of neurological surgery at George Washington University Medical Center, where his father had once served on the surgical staff. In a career spanning five decades, Dr. Horwitz trained generations of neurosurgical residents through his affiliations with GWU and MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
He drew the most public recognition as part of a team that removed an explosive bullet from the neck of Officer Thomas Delahanty, who was shot while escorting Reagan from the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981.
Reagan was leaving the hotel after a speaking engagement when John W. Hinckley Jr. fired at him six times with a revolver. One of the bullets ricocheted off the door of Reagan's limousine, piercing the president's lung.
No one died in the assassination attempt, although press secretary James Brady took a bullet to the brain. Both Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were shot while trying to protect Reagan.
Dr. Horwitz assisted Michael Dennis in operating on Delahanty at the Washington Hospital Center. The doctors volunteered for the task despite being warned that the bullet could injure them if it detonated.
Dennis, who served under Dr. Horwitz as a resident and then became his medical partner for 20 years, said Dr. Horwitz was "instrumental in developing neurosurgery in the Washington area.�
Norman Harold Horwitz was born May 4, 1925, in Rochester, Minn., where his father, Alec Horwitz, was then a resident at the Mayo Clinic. His mother, the former Jean Himmelfarb, became a Washington lawyer.
Dr. Horwitz graduated in 1942 from Woodrow Wilson High School in the District. He completed his undergraduate degree at Princeton in two years and was a 1948 graduate of Columbia University medical school.
He was a post-graduate research fellow in neurophysiology at Yale University and a surgical intern at Massachusetts Memorial Hospital before serving in the Air Force during the Korean War. He was in the neurosurgical unit at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.
After his discharge, he completed his neurosurgical residency at Yale and entered private practice in Washington in 1956.
He also joined the George Washington University medical school faculty and became an attending neurosurgeon at the university hospital before retiring in 1995. That year, he also retired as chairman of neurosurgery at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, a position he had held since 1987.
In the 1960s, Dr. Horwitz took his surgical teaching overseas to Afghanistan, India and Iran. He returned to Shiraz, Iran, in 1977 as a visiting professor of neurosurgery at Pahlavi Medical School. He also was a neurosurgical consultant at the MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington and remained an active investigator at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, now known as the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, after retiring from surgical practice.
Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Elinor Lander Horwitz of Chevy Chase; three children, Erica Horwitz of Scarsdale, N.Y., Joshua Horwitz of Washington and Tony Horwitz of West Tisbury, Mass.; a sister, Annetta Kushner of Annapolis; and seven grandchildren.
With Washington neurosurgeon Hugo V. Rizzoli, Dr. Horwitz wrote the influential medical book "Postoperative Complications in Neurosurgical Practice: Recognition, Prevention and Management,� which was first published in 1967. Dr. Horwitz also was a prolific contributor to medical journals and dispensed occasional medical opinions in the popular press.
In 1989 — on the bicentennial of the French revolution — The Washington Post asked Dr. Horwitz whether King Louis XVI of France could have remained conscious after being guillotined. Some experts speculated that the deposed king could have heard the crowd roar in delight as the blade cut through the monarch's neck.
"I don't think [any of this] is impossible,� Dr. Horwitz said. Horwitz, Norman Harold (I4618)
