Q: In a Qt console application, why is a QTimer required for the code to exit properly? I've wrote this code looking at examples online of how I'm supposed to run a console program that doesn't just run and quit and one that does. Based on a Qt console application. This one here, I wanted it to quit. I've understood pretty much everthing excepth the QTimer::singleShot line. If the line is commented out, the application will run but will not quit. If it is left, the application will run and quit as expected. Can anyone explain to me why?
dostuff.h
#ifndef DOSTUFF_H
#define DOSTUFF_H

#include <QObject>
#include <iostream>

class DoStuff: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public :
    DoStuff(QObject *parent = 0);

public slots:
    void run();

signals:
    void finished();
};

#endif // DOSTUFF_H

And the implementation dostuff.cpp
#include "dostuff.h"

DoStuff::DoStuff(QObject *parent):QObject(parent)
{

}

void DoStuff::run(){
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
        std::cout << "Processing " << i << std::endl;
    }
    emit(finished());
}

My main.cpp
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QTimer>
#include "dostuff.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    DoStuff *dostuff = new DoStuff(&a);
    QObject::connect(dostuff,SIGNAL(finished()),&a,SLOT(quit()));
    dostuff->run();

    // WHY THIS??
    QTimer::singleShot(10,dostuff,SLOT(run()));

    return a.exec();
}

A: QTimer is not required to exit properly; You just need to provide a way to get your application to break the event loop at some point. In GUI application, Qt does that automatically when the last window is closed.
In Console applications, you can:

*

*Either run your application without an event loop (if you have a straight-forward simple control flow in your application).

*Or (if you require an event loop to handle some events or cross thread signal/slots) you need to have some event that makes your application break the event loop and quit. This event should only be triggered when the application has finished its job.

The code sample you have in your question is really simple, and does not require an event loop to run properly. The only effect the QTimer has in your code is that it delays execution for 10 ms. Here is the same code sample without running an event loop:
#include <QtCore>

class DoStuff: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public :
    DoStuff(QObject *parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {}

public slots:
    void run() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
            qInfo() << "Processing " << i;
        }
        emit finished();
    }

signals:
    void finished();
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    DoStuff dostuff;
    QObject::connect(&dostuff, &DoStuff::finished,
                     &a, &QCoreApplication::quit);
    dostuff.run();

    return 0; //no event loop required
}

#include "main.moc"

If you start an event loop, you may notice that the quit slot does not work when not using QTimer::singleShot. The reason for this is that quit is called before the event loop is even started (and the call has no effect at all). That's why according to the docs, it is recommended to connect to quit using a queued connection:

It's good practice to always connect signals to this slot using a QueuedConnection. If a signal connected (non-queued) to this slot is emitted before control enters the main event loop (such as before "int main" calls exec()), the slot has no effect and the application never exits. Using a queued connection ensures that the slot will not be invoked until after control enters the main event loop.

So, if you want to have an event loop in your code above, you just need to connect using a Qt::QueuedConnection:
#include <QtCore>

class DoStuff: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public :
    DoStuff(QObject *parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {}

public slots:
    void run() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
            qInfo() << "Processing " << i;
        }
        emit finished();
    }

signals:
    void finished();
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    DoStuff dostuff;
    QObject::connect(&dostuff, &DoStuff::finished,
                     &a, &QCoreApplication::quit,
                     Qt::QueuedConnection);
    //                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    //                   use a queued connection
    dostuff.run();

    return a.exec(); //start an event loop
}

#include "main.moc"

A: Timer is needed to postpone execution. Since you want to have a running event loop, a.exec() has to be called, then the timer executes your code. When your code finishes running, it triggers finished signal, that is tied to QCoreApplication::quit - that's the needed exit for event loop running inside a.exec().
Btw, you have to remove: dostuff->run(); from your code.

Take a Stand and Help Us Hold the Line!
Since election night last November, a portion of the gun rights community has sat back in stunned defeat, refusing to believe what happened, and convinced that all hope is lost.
Of course, this does not include the members of the Missouri Firearms Coalition, who have stood tall for freedom here in Missouri a very long time, becoming one of the most potent political fighting forces in the state.
In fact, if you're a member of the Missouri Firearms Coalition, you can safely ignore the rest of this email, because it does not apply to you.
But for gun owners who have thrown up their hands in despair over the last couple of months, I hope you will read this entire email, think about what's at stake, and get back involved!
The Situation in the House
Thanks to a $100,000,000 investment from Michael Bloomberg, Nancy Pelosi did retain control of the House of Representatives, and was reelected as Speaker of the House.
As every gun owner knows, Pelosi hates the Second Amendment and gun owners like you and me who do everything we can to stop her from destroying it.
It's true, of course, that if she had her way, Nancy Pelosi would reverse the Second Amendment, confiscate every gun in America, and throw gun owners into prison. We all know that.
Thankfully, it's not up to her.
For Nancy Pelosi to pass anything in Washington, she needs 218 votes. And in case you don't know this, after losing so many races last fall, Pelosi's conference has a mere 221 members right now — the smallest Democratic majority in over 100 years!
So for Pelosi to pass gun control legislation, she'll need almost every single member of her conference to agree to support it. And the news is already full of reports of 'moderate' Democrats in Congress warning Pelosi not to try it.
These moderates are openly concerned that they will lose their re-elections — and that Pelosi will lose the majority — if they advance an aggressive gun control agenda.
Can we stop crazed socialists like Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Talib from voting against our gun rights? No, of course not, but we don't have to.
There are plenty of Democratic Congressmen in vulnerable seats that don't want to go on the record in support of a national gun registry, a federal 'Red Flag' law, mental health tests of gun owners or a ban on the AR-15.
I'm talking about vulnerable Congressmen like AZ's Tom O'Halleran who won by 3.2%, TX's Vincente Gonzalez who won by 2.9%, IA's Cindy Axne who won by 1.4%, MI's Haley Stevens who won by 2.4%, MN's Angie Craig who won by 2.2%, PA's Conor Lamb who won by 2.2% and this list just keeps going.
These members won with by such tight margins during a Presidential election cycle, meaning they will be even more vulnerable in 2022.
The Situation in the Senate
The situation in the United States Senate is very similar to the House. The radical left does have a majority, with a 50-50 tie in the chamber and Vice President Harris in place to break a tie.
Just like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would love to crush the Second Amendment rights of the estimated one hundred million Americans who own firearms to defend themselves against criminals and more.
But Chuck Schumer needs to get every single member of his conference to vote to support his gun control agenda — every single one — before Kamala Harris can break a tie.
This includes New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan, who is up in 2022 and who won her race in 2016 by just .2%, the closest race that New Hampshire has had in over 40 years.
It also includes Nevada Senator Catherine Masto. Masto, who replaced Harry Reid in 2016, won her race by 2.4% in a Presidential election year, benefiting from Hillary Clinton's turnout operation.
West Virginia's Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin, isn't up until 2024, but is one of the biggest swing votes in the Senate on many issues — especially gun control — because of how tight his elections have always been.
Georgia's new Senator, Raphael Warnock won by just 2% last November and Arizona's new Senator Mark Kelly won by 2.4%. Since both of these races were special elections, both of them will be up for election again in 2022. Any vote they cast on gun control will play heavily in their races.
If any one of these Senators votes 'NO' on a gun control bill, the bill is dead, presuming that the Republican conference votes correctly. And if that happens one time, it will likely suck the momentum out of further gun control bills.
Tougher Allies
Another development that weighs in our favor is the new, tougher, breed of pro-gun champions who are doing all they can to hold the line for freedom in Congress.
Georgia's freshman Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is an example of a new hyper-aggressive defender of our gun rights. Most newly elected Republican Congressmen get to D.C. and spend all of their time trying to avoid making waves.
Not Greene.
While being attacked mercilessly, Congresswoman Greene is sponsoring some of the best gun rights legislation in Congress right now and is galvanizing gun owners across the country into taking action to stop the left's gun control agenda.
Already, her actions have inspired other Republicans in Congress to take bolder stances and state level Republican legislators to launch primary campaigns against weak-kneed moderates in Congress.
The real benefit here is that Greene is reminding Republican sellouts who may consider stabbing us in the back and supporting federal gun control, that their betrayal may very well earn them a primary challenge.
Gun Owners Engage Again
And finally, the outcome of the 2020 election cycle has already begun to awake a sleeping giant of gun owners, who have been slumbering rather peacefully since 2016.
The truth is that when Obama's gun control agenda fell apart in April of 2013, a lot of gun owners sat back, feeling no pressure at the federal level as the Republicans were in charge either partially or completely.
Of course, that was a mistake.
That lack of mobilized pressure is what helped allow the GOP-controlled Congress pass ZERO pro-gun bills during the first two years of President Trump's administration.
More than that, this lack of engagement is how FIX-NICS legislation was passed in 2018, and how bump stocks were banned that same year.
But the days of many gun owners sitting back and hoping for the best are over, as Joe Biden poses an immediate threat that every gun owner is now taking seriously.
We Can Hold the Line
When you add all of this up, an ultra-slim Congressional majority in Washington, tough elections on the horizon for gun-grabbers, a new breed of Second Amendment fighters in Congress, and a mobilized base of gun owners — WE CAN HOLD THE LINE!
No, it's not going to be easy.
Yes, the radical socialists in Congress are going to come after our freedoms with everything they have.
But we can hold the line if gun owners all over the country stand together and make their voices heard and flood Congress with calls, emails, and petitions demanding that our gun rights be left alone!
Rallies are fun, but rallies don't stop gun control. Just look at Virginia for all of the proof you'll need on that. That's because the politicians dismiss the crowd, assuming that few of them can actually vote in their districts.
But they can't ignore our programs, as our action center directs your petitions and emails directly to the inbox of your legislators in the state legislature or Congress.
That's why the Missouri Firearms Coalition focuses so much of our time and energy on these programs, because they work!
They Are Counting on Us
If you have read this entire email and are still sitting back in defeat, realize that our children and grandchildren don't care about how sorry we feel for ourselves today.
They are desperately counting on you and me to stand together and block the gun control agenda that is designed to disarm them, more so than us.
The gun grabbers love to make carve outs for current gun owners, hoping we'll agree to their terms. Our children and grandchildren will pay the price for our laziness and shortsightedness if we go along with this.
As a father of seven minor children, who are unable to buy firearms for themselves, I feel this pressure every day as my older sons ask me "Will I be able to buy an AR when I turn 18?"
While I can't guarantee my kids an outcome, I can damn sure guarantee them that I am doing everything I can (along with the tens of thousands of supporters of the Missouri Firearms Coalition) to make sure that their freedoms don't die on my generation's watch.
Our forefathers ensured that these rights and freedoms were passed down to you and me, and now it's our turn to take our stand to ensure the same for the next generation.
It's a debt of honor, a debt of freedom, that we must pay.
So if you're not a member of the Missouri Firearms Coalition, I am asking you to become one today. Every gun owner needs to get off the bleachers and into the arena and join in this fight.
Become a member of the Missouri Firearms Coalition here.
For our members, I can't thank you enough for your ongoing support that has made it possible for us to be Missouri's leading voice for freedom for close to a decade.
But we are facing very dark times over the next 24 months. And no army can go into battle with too much ammunition. So please consider an immediate donation of any amount, right away.
Some of you can donation $10,000 or more to help us hold this line. For others, I know that $50 is a real sacrifice. Whatever amount you can afford, please make a donation right away.
Make a donation to the Missouri Firearms Coalition.
Our freedoms have been attacked by tyrants, big and small, for hundreds of years. And for hundreds of years, freedom loving Americans have answered the call to defend these freedoms.
It's our turn.
If you haven't yet, join us.
For Freedom,
Aaron Dorr
Political Director
P.S. Some gun owners have thrown their hands up in despair, but this is no time to sit back and pout. Our children and grandchildren are counting on us now, more than ever!
Read the email above to see what's at stake, how gun owners can hold the line for freedom, and then take action.
If you aren't a member of the Missouri Firearms Coalition, we need you now.
If you are a member, please make a donation right away.

Belmont Abbey women's victory ruins career high for former Highland Tech standout
BELMONT – Leah Graham had quite the homecoming Saturday afternoon at Belmont Abbey College's Wheeler Center.
Unfortunately for Graham and her Mount Olive teammates, the host Lady Crusaders appear to be hitting their stride following a 74-60 victory that was their eighth in nine games.
Later on Saturday, the Conference Carolinas-leading Mount Olive men stayed hot with an 87-69 win over the Crusaders.
In the opener, the Lady Crusaders used a 22-2 surge late in the second half to break open a close game.
"It feels great to be getting in the right position at the right time of the year," said Belmont Abbey coach Jason Williams, whose team improved to 16-9 overall and 12-7 in the league. "One through 15 on our roster, I think our players are really understanding and doing well in their roles."
The Lady Crusaders' Saturday effort ruined a career-high 24 points from Graham, the Mount Holly native who played at Highland Tech. Graham, the Gazette's 2011 player of the year, had 13 points in the opening half as the Lady Trojans (10-15, 8-11) took a 32-29 halftime lead.
Graham, whose previous high was 19 points earlier this season at King, reached her career high on a three-point play with 11:06 to play that put Mount Olive ahead 45-44.
But the Abbey responded with a 22-2 surge that gave the Lady Crusaders a 66-47 lead with 5:17 to play.
"Their length bothered us a little," Williams said of Mount Olive's frontline that featured 6-foot-4 center Arieal Johnson. "It took a little while to settle down and attack their defensive pressure."
The Lady Crusaders got a balanced attack led by Gabrielle Bethel (16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals), McKenzie Owen (15 points, 7 rebounds), Briana Grier (12 points, 5 assists), Morgan Midkiff (12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals) and Caitlyn Ranson (8 points, 4 rebounds).
Graham's effort kept Mount Olive in the game – freshman Rachel Fehl was the Trojans only other double-figure scorer (10 points) – and came in front of a large contingent of her family and friends.
Graham's mother Jennifer, father Reggie, brother Jordan, uncles Melvin Graham and Melvin McCorkle, aunt Rhonda McCorkle, cousin Derrick Graham, Highland Tech coach Jerry Jordan and former Rams' teammate Bryanne Robbins and several other friends attended Saturday's historic game.
"Playing in front of my family always means a lot," said Graham, whose high school career high was of 26 points against Bessemer City during her sophomore year of 2008-09. "It's always special to come home and that was definitely the case today."
Men: Mount Olive 87, Belmont Abbey 69 – The Trojans (24-2, 17-1) actually trailed 12-11 with 16:13 left in the first half before roaring to as much as a 38-point lead before the Crusaders battled back in the second half to make the final score more respectable.
"It's hard to give a team like that 31 points off turnovers and offensive rebounds in the first half but that's what we did," said Belmont Abbey coach Martin Unger, whose team fell to 2-23, 1-16. "They're a great team and I feel like they took advantage of our mistakes."
Freshman Deion Lane finished with a career-high 29 points, including 22 in a second half in which the Abbey outscored the Trojans 45-30. Former Gaston Day standout Ray Chen added 14 points for the Crusaders.
For Mount Olive, five players reached double figures and all 11 who entered the game scored for the Trojans. Dontrell Brite's 13 points led the way for Mount Olive.

Chagaev willing to face 'outstanding talent' Joshua
WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev has backed Anthony Joshua to be the next star of the division if the Briton continues his startling progress going forward.
Joshua has so far ploughed through all opposition in the division since entering the paid ranks on the back of Olympic gold in 2012 and Chagaev is among the masses that see the Londoner having a bright future.
"I have seen Joshua at the Olympics and I followed his first pro fights. He is an outstanding talent and can certainly develop into a great champion," Chagaev exclusively told World Boxing News.
"I think he needs a little more experience and some more fights against top contenders to earn a world title shot, but he could be one of the successors of Wladimir Klitschko once he hangs up his gloves."
Chagaev is confident that it's just a matter of time before Joshua gets into the mix with the top fighters like Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and Klitschko himself and believes that 'AJ' has the world at his feet at the tender age of 25.
"Joshua is still young, but it all depends on his mentality and on his body. If he doesn't get injured and stays focused he should have a great future."
On the possibility of facing Joshua in the future, Chagaev added: "There are some great fighters out there and I am ready to step into the ring against any of them. Joshua might need some more experience, but I have no preferences. Just line them up and bring them on.
"To be the best you have to beat the best. So I am ready to fight the best," he added.
'The White Tyson' is next pitted against Italian challenger Francesco Pianeta in Madgeburg on July 11 as the 36 year-old prepares to make the third defense of the WBA title in what is the Uzbek's second spell as champion.

Several of them are stable and many have been discharged, he added. Dahihanda police have begun a probe and food samples from the gathering have been sent to laboratories for analysis, the official said.


I visited Musée Galliera to see an exposition "Les années folles". It's about the mode in 1920's. That's so gorgeous! You can check a video on site.
Anyway...It's last day of 2007. My life has changed a lot this year. How about you?
My life in Paris is still restless... but... I'm going on my way...!
Have a nice new year's season!
We have a pool table in our living room and play together everyday.
I saw a french movie "La Môme". It's about life of famous french signer Édith Piaf. It's well done. Marion Cotillard played Édith Piaf very well.It was very passionate acting.Great.
But I'm sure that her life was more complex and difficult (loves,drugs,works...).
My husband's grand father wrote down my name "Youkila" on his drawing...He doesn't know my name? But I liked this name so I change my handle name to "Youkila" from "Yuki". Thank you.
We found some treasures at his grandpa place. The last drawing is drawn when my husband is 10 years old. It's so cute.
Did you have a good christmas? I spent a time with my husband's family in Normande. These are the pics from the holidays.We had a good dinner and many presents for christmas! Our grand father made a drawing of our marriage for us.That's very impressed.
I went to shopping with my husband and today's guest loic. And we picked "boudin noir" for dinner. Actually I saw it before but I couldn't take it because it looks so grotesque...it looked just a "black something" after cooking also, but so tasty.
It's very soft like a mousse. Try it with some mashed potatoes.
We got a present from our french family. It's an old French book about life in Japan.Published in1915,Paris.
And they introduced that there are three types of faces in Japan. (Mongol, Java, Malais ). I'm sure I have a Malais type face.... What do you think?
It's a beautiful day today! I need SUNSHINE!!!!! I crossed a bridge(Pont de Bir-Hakeim)and walked around. I found "dragon ball" graffiti... not cool.

I found an ad on Facebook for the LipoLux weight loss and Whole Body Vibrations. I answered the ad and paid $39 for the treatments. The ad said this would have been almost $400. The website to sign up looked like a scam and I should have known better. When even setting up the appointment the secretary was scattered and could hardly remember anything. There were no directions on what I should expect, do beforehand, or anything. I just had the appointment this morning. Little hole in the wall health place. I signed in and it didn't take long to go back. I was never introduced to the lady taking care of me. I have no idea if she's a doctor, nurse, or just someone they found. I didn't even know her name. I went back into the room and was weighed and she measured the two points of my body I was having the light Lipo taken. Again, I was never told what to expect and never asked about my medical history. While doing the 20 minute treatment I was handed an iPad to watch their 20 minute sales pitch. It's about their weight loss oil or whatever. It's complete whack. The supplement is an appetite suppressant. "People have to set their alarms to remember to eat!" Doesn't that sound like a consistent diet? They don't even want you to exercise! More on that later. I'm laying there half naked with these lights on my stomach and legs and they get warm. That's about all I feel. Listen to the pitch. THE PROGRAM IS $700. It includes weekly doctor visits. I NEVER MET THE DOCTOR. I am told to get dressed and go to another room. This is where I did the vibrate thing. I am told to do a squat on it and it vibrates me for 10 minutes. I'm told by Miss anonymous that this equals 45 minutes of cardio. (Thought we weren't supposed to work out on the program?) SO I'm shaking on this thing being told my body thinks I'm 63 years old and I'm under 30. Lol. Anyways, they claim to not sell Snake Oil but that's basically what this is. There is no way this could be a long term solution. Starving yourself for 6 weeks for $700? I can do that for free. I have no idea about the Chiropractor side of things.
My husband was down in his back to where he needed assistance to walk. Dr. Chaffin worked his magic on him & my husband came out walking. I was in tears!!
the best chiropractor I've seen. very nice and friendly staff. Dr. Chaffin is a GREAT chiropractor.
I was taking a family member to see Dr Chaffin when I noticed this sign on his wall that said "pain relief starts with your feet" I've suffered heel pain for quite a few years so I decided to ask if that was something they could look at. I scheduled myself an appointment and they were able to point out the problem (plantar fasciitis) and what it was doing to my body/posture. I was shocked to see how bad my feet were and the issues it was causing in my knees and pelvis. Dr Chaffin ordered me some custom orthotics. I have been wearing them a month now and it's a great feeling to be able to get up in the morning without heel pain. I had never been to chiropractor before so I was nervous about the adjustments, but they make me feel great!
I am not one to write review but I felt I needed to share my success and gratitude to the staff at the Cornerstone Chiropractic Wellness Center. I am 48 years old and have been overweight since about 2012. Probably about 60 - 70 pounds overweight. I decided to take the leap and join the ChiroThin Program and give it a shot for 6 weeks. 6 weeks later I am down 30 pounds and I feel amazing. My diabetes is under control, my cholesterol is down, I have few headaches anymore, better concentration, more energy, my cloths fit better and overall I just look better. I am getting ready to sign up for round 2 and lose another 30 pounds. If you are considering loosing weight, stop thinking about it and come see the staff here and they will help you every step of the way. So worth it!!
I can not recommend Dr. Chaffin more. For the first time in a long time I felt heard and involved in my treatment! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. If you don't have a place for regular chiropractic care definitely use Cornerstone!
Dr. Chaffin and his staff are friendly and professional. I was never a believer in chiropractic care until I started coming to Dr. Chaffin. I definitely recommend!
Dr. Chaffin is a phenomenal doctor, so gentle and gets the job done. I cannot say enough ... hurry, get in here, you will be so glad you did.
Dr. Chaffin is an excellent chiropractor! I love the ChiroThin system also! Can't wait to do it again!!
Just wanted to write a testimony on what the Chirothin program has done for me. I never had much weight to lose but a year ago I went on the Chirothin program. I have dealt with high blood pressure for 30 years and the thing I noticed almost immediately is that my blood pressure dropped. I did drop pounds and several inches also. About 4 months ago I was having dramatic blood pressure spikes. My cardiologist increased me to three blood pressure meds a day at maximum dose which will make you feel terrible. My blood pressure kept increasing until one night about 4 weeks ago it was 250/110 after taking all the meds I could take. So I go to the ER and spent the night there with them trying to get it down. It would go down and then go back over 200, It finally went down enough to go home. It scared me and I told my husband on the way home that the only thing that ever brought it down was when I was on the Chirothin weight loss program. So I immediately started it. Within a WEEK my bp starting dropping. The 2nd week it dropped enough to take away one of my bp meds. By the 3rd week I was able to remove a second bp med with approval from my cardiologist. I am now in my 4th week and cant wait to see what happens. This program has taught me the benefits of clean eating and portion control. My cardiologist told me to keep doing whatever I am doing. I believe this program was a life saver for me!!!
I did the 9 Day Chiro Thin trial and lost 17.4 pounds and 10 3/4 inches!!! I'm hooked! This plan is Great and so easy. I love the recipes and So does my family. I'm on my 3rd week and now down a total of 27 pounds!! Everyone should try this.
1st visit with back pain. Already feeling MUCH better.
I love Conerstone Chiropractic! I take my two teenage girls to Dr.Chaffin! Try him out you won't be disappointed!!!!
Dr. Chaffin always takes plenty of time with his patients and listens to what they have to say. He also explains things thoroughly and takes a genuine interest in his patients health.
I am beyond amazed! So knowledgeable, and was able to give me answers I had been wanting for years concerning my chronic back pain! I felt so much better after just one adjustment.

Creston woman killed in two-vehicle collision in Yahk
A 57-year-old Creston woman was killed in a two-vehicle in Yahk yesterday afternoon just before 1 p.m. Ambulance, Creston RCMP and highways personnel attended the scene, as did a coroner. An RCMP crash scene analyst was flown in from Vernon.
"The collision occurred when an older model Nissan Sentra, which was driven by the deceased and travelling southbound, crossed the double solid centre line into the path of a northbound, newer model Ford four-door station wagon," said a press release by Sgt. Don Erichsen of East Kootenay Traffic Services. "The collision occurred fully in the northbound lane of travel."
The female driver of the Nissan was pronounced dead at the scene, while her male travelling companion was taken to hospital by air ambulance with undisclosed injuries. The four travellers in the northbound Ford were uninjured.
The name of the deceased has not been released, and the investigation continues.

The weather is FINALLY getting warmer and Shavuot is almost here! The warm weather and dairy Shavuot meals provide the perfect excuse to pop the corks on the newest vintages of white and rosé wines.
Most white and rosé wines should be consumed young, while they are fresh and crisp. Which means that when selecting a white or rosé this Shavuot, try to buy wine from recent vintages such as 2009, 2010 or 2011. Also remember to serve these wines chilled, but not too cold – that can mask some of their lovely aromas which enhance the wine drinking experience. Try removing them from the fridge about 10 minutes prior to drinking and look for aromas of flowers, citrus fruit, berries and even things such as cotton candy or bubble gum!
Wine complements food and completes a meal. Save the grape juice for the kids and indulge in a refreshing glass of wine this yom-tov. But remember that whether white, rosé or a robust red, the most important factor when choosing a wine is finding one that you enjoy.

Juan Francisco de Molina (1779–1878) was the First President of Honduras from January 10 to April 13, 1839.

Childhood
Juan Francisco de Molina was born in 1779 in the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. His father was Juan Francisco Molina Esquivel and his mother was Cecilia Solís de Molina.

Politics and Presidency
Juan held the position of Counsellor of State and accessed to the position of president on January 10 of 1839 when José Lino Matute, having health problems, retires from it. Just 2 days after being in charge, he signed the approving document of the new constitution of Honduras that left the one of 1825 without validity and that gave the appointment of president to the chief executive.

During his mandate, he celebrated an Offensive Alliance Treaty with Nicaragua against General Francisco Morazán. The army of Honduras was headed by General Francisco Ferrera and the army of Nicaragua was in command of Coronel Bernardo Méndez, but were defeated by Morazán's forces on April 5 of 1839 in the Battle of the Holy Spirit, even though that in it, Morazán and General José Trinidad Cabañas were injured.

After that, in El Salvador they chose Morazán as president, who which took the decision to attack Honduras by the army led by José Trinidad Cabañas, who which later obtained resounding successes in Cuesta Grande and in La Soledad he took the city of Tegucigalpa, causing with this that Juan Francisco de Molina fled to Juticalpa.

He left his presidential duties on April 11, 1839 and was succeeded in office by Felipe Neri Medina, who at that moment held the position of Counsellor of State.

Death
Juan Francisco de Molina died in 1878 at the age of 99 in his hometown.

Krystal Jung: What will last K-Pop idol of f(x) do now that Amber, Luna, and Victoria have parted ways with SM Entertainment?
Thu Sep 12, 2019 at 11:44am ET
Krystal Jung is the only remaining member of f(x) to be still signed under SM Entertainment. Image Credit: SM Entertainment
Over the past week, each member of the K-pop girl group f(x) announced they have left or intend to leave SM Entertainment.
Amber Liu was the first member to make it known she has left the company. Liu revealed she plans to pursue a solo career in the United States.
Four days later, Victoria Song announced she was also leaving SM Entertainment. She plans to pursue her acting career on the Chinese silver and small screens.
Finally, Luna Park reportedly chose not to renew her contract with SM Entertainment. Unlike Amber and Victoria, she did not make a public announcement.
Instead, SM Entertainment provided a statement on her departure. This news was surprising as she was one of the more successful solo artists under SM Entertainment. She reportedly had hope that f(x) would make a comeback, but f(x) disbanding hasn't been confirmed.
With Amber, Victoria, and Luna no longer with SM Entertainment, only Krystal Jung remains. She still has a bit of time on her contract before it expires.
Within that time, we wonder if she too will leave SM Entertainment. From the looks of things, the answer will most likely be "yes."

Strained relationship with SM Entertainment after Jessica Jung's departure
Though she has remained quiet on the matter, it is evident Krystal Jung has issues with how SM Entertainment treated her sister, Jessica Jung. We still do not know what happened between Jessica and SM Entertainment, but it seems the company punished her.
First, SM Entertainment "removed" Jessica from So Nyeo Shi Dae (SNSD), better known as Girls' Generation, while on tour. This change happened right before Girls' Generation performed at the Tokyo Dome.
That was a rough move by SM Entertainment given that Jessica's dream was to perform at that venue.
SM Entertainment managed Jessica Jung's solo endeavors for the remainder of her contract. However, there were almost no solo recordings, making SM Entertainment's promotion minimal. This lack of promotion led to Jessica parting ways with SM Entertainment one year after leaving Girls' Generation.
Jessica Jung's history with SM Entertainment might have been a reason for "punishing" her sister, Krystal Jung. Unlike Amber, Victoria, and Luna, Krystal got the "double-edged sword" of no activities or promotions as a part of f(x) and a minimal solo career.
If it weren't for television network statements, many wouldn't know of Krystal's involvement in many K-dramas, especially Bride of the Water God and Player. In short, one has to follow Krystal to see what's going on career-wise in her life.
A new home in Coridel Entertainment?
When her contract with SM Entertainment expires, many believe Krystal Jung will sign Coridel Entertainment. Jessica's boyfriend Tyler Kwon formed this agency.
Through Coridel Entertainment, Jessica Jung found a "new life" in her career outside of Girls' Generation. That part of her career seems like ancient history as her solo career is doing very well under her current agency.
The same could be said for Krystal Jung if she eventually signs with Coridel Entertainment.
Even if Krystal Jung leaves SM Entertainment, it does not take away her collective contribution to K-pop alongside Amber, Luna, and Victoria. Though SM Entertainment supposedly does not support f(x), the fans fell in love with the girl group as they innovated a unique sound not heard in K-pop before.
Also, Krystal Jung is making a name for herself on Korean silver and small screens. She is best known for her roles in Bride of the Water God and Player. Only the latter is available to watch for free on Rakuten Viki.

Controversial Valve Decision Regarding The International 2018
Radu Muresan
The Dota Pro Circuit for the 2017-2018 competitive season is finally over. Nine months and 22 tournaments later, we finally have 8 teams that are qualified for The International 2018 and many others which will be competing in the Open and Regional Qualifiers.
Directly qualified teams
These are the teams that received a direct invite to The International 2018 as a result of their Dota Pro Circuit ranking.
Virtus.pro – 12372 points
Team Liquid – 9459 points
PSG.LGD – 7332 points
Team Secret – 5136 points
Mineski – 3150 points
Vici Gaming – 2835 points
Newbee – 2445 points
VGJ.Thunder – 1935 points
Reserved slots per region
Apart from the 8 teams mentioned above, 10 others will be taking part in this year's TI. Their selection will be made based on Regional Qualifiers, which in turn will receive top participants from the Open Qualifiers. The distribution of TI 8 qualification slots was made by Valve in the following way:
North America: 3 slots
China: 2 slots
Southeast Asia: 2 slots
South America: 1 slot
Europe: 1 slot
CIS: 1 slot
Well, that looks slightly uneven, doesn't it? The motivation is understandable and the result will likely be the best possible one for the audience, in the sense that this distribution will probably ensure that the most famous 18 teams in the world will be present at The International 2018. But it also communicates a cynical message, which is this: Valve cares a lot more about its audience and providing it with its desired type of show than it cares about its professional scene.
The players are just gladiators thrown in a huge arena for the entertainment of the crowd. The most famous teams will motivate more people to come and see the show, so who cares about being fair to the teams themselves and their respective regions?
Normally, given the fact that:
The previous edition of The International was won by a European team and had a Chinese team in the Grand Final.
The current Dota Pro Circuit was won by a CIS team, followed by a European and a Chinese team.
The current Dota Pro Circuit does not have a single North American team in the top 8.
You would expect Valve to think "well, it appears that North America isn't really that strong at the moment. Furthermore, CIS and Europe obviously have a higher level of Dota and should receive more slots based on their 2017-2018 performance." But instead of that, the rationale was this: "North America doesn't have a single participant at this point. And there are 3 teams in this region that people want to see. Let's make sure they all qualify, at the expense of CIS and European teams.
Furthermore, Southeast Asia only has one participant at this point. And there are 2 other teams in this region that people want to see. Let's make sure they both qualify, at the expense of CIS and European teams."
That kind of logic is good for the show and the audience, but bad and unjust for the professional scene. Going forward, I certainly hope that the rules will be specified more transparently so that merit is given where merit is due. Because this current way of doing things has self-interest written all over it.

Suspended Ex-Deloitte Auditor Back in the Saddle
Benched for allegedly helping Adelphia file phony finanicals, he's now back in the SEC's good graces, with a couple of conditions.
Stephen TaubJune 27, 2008
5 Habits of Top CFOs
Download our whitepaper to discover the technical and behavioral skills needed to lead your business forward.
A former Deloitte & Touche accountant who was suspended for improper professional conduct in his audits of Adelphia Communications has been reinstated to eligibility to appear before the Securities and Exchange Commission as an accountant.
The regulator says William Caswell has met all the conditions in its original order and agreed to comply with all requirements of the commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including those relating to registration, inspections, concurring partner reviews, and quality-control standards. Caswell also promised to have his work reviewed by the audit committee of any company for which he works, "or in some other manner acceptable to the commission."
The suspension of his privilege to appear before the SEC was part of a settlement reached in September 2005. Caswell consented to the order without admitting or denying its allegations.
How Startup CFO Grew Food Company 50% YoY
This case study of JonnyPops' success highlights the unusual financial and operational strategies that enabled rapid expansion into a crowded and highly competitive frozen treat market.
The improper professional conduct applied to audits of Adelphia's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. Caswell served as a director and held the most senior, nonpartner position on Deloitte's Adelphia engagement.
The SEC found that Adelphia's 2000 financial statements were materially false and misleading and failed to comply with generally accepted accounting principles. In its 2000 annual report, the commission said Adelphia understated its co-borrowing debt by $1.6 billion and improperly netted related-party receivables and payables between Adelphia and entities owned or controlled by its controlling shareholders. The company also failed to disclose the nature and extent of thousands of related-party transactions with these shareholders, according to the SEC.
"Caswell reasonably should have known that Adelphia's 2000 financial statements had not been prepared in conformity with GAAP," said the SEC.

Starbucks stabbing suspect may have been motivated by religious extremism (with video)
Affidavit says he made statements about "his willingness to die for Islam"
By Paris Achen
Published: March 11, 2013, 5:00pm
Stabbing suspect Scott Fandrich makes his first appearance in Clark County Superior Court Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
A 55-year-old suspect in the stabbing of two people in a Starbucks coffee shop drive-thru at one of the busiest intersections in Clark County may have been motivated by religious extremism, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Scott C. Fandrich of Ridgefield appeared Tuesday in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of two counts of first-degree assault.
Judge Barbara Johnson set bail at $500,000. Fandrich is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges March 22. Vancouver attorney Jack "John" Peterson was appointed to defend him.
Fandrich wore an orange jumpsuit and limped into the courtroom. In a low voice, he mumbled answers to questions from Senior Deputy Prosecutor Camara Banfield.
Fandrich is accused of attacking Jerry Kush, who is either 70 or 71, just before 5 p.m. in the Starbucks drive-thru at 11502 S.E. Mill Plain Blvd., in Cascade Park, after the two had a conversation about religion, according to court records.
The affidavit said:
Hamza A. Shariati, 21, told police that he had met Fandrich at about 2 p.m. Monday to discuss religion. During their conversation at one of the cafe's tables, Kush approached and chatted with Fandrich about cars and religion.
When Kush got up and left, Fandrich followed him out of the building, Shariati said. Then, Shariati said, he heard sirens.
Shariati told police that Fandrich had made statements in the past about "his willingness to die for Islam." He said he knows that Fandrich "has conflicts with people."
Kush was stabbed at least five times in the neck, abdomen and the side of the chest and had to undergo emergency surgery Monday night at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
Bystanders tried to intervene and stop Fandrich, according to earlier reports by The Columbian. One of them, Jerry Nehnevaj, 49, was stabbed in the right lower leg when he attempted to grab Fandrich and pull him off of Kush, according to the affidavit.
Nehnevaj was transported to PeaceHealth, treated and released.
Court records give an account by multiple witnesses:
Nehnevaj told police that he came to Kush's assistance after he heard a woman screaming, "'Help, he's got a knife.'"
Another bystander, Randall S. Douglas, 58, stomped on Fandrich's arm, causing him to drop the knife. Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered around the scene. Fandrich then picked up the knife and started to walk toward a van. The crowd pursued him. One of the bystanders had obtained a shovel and "wield(ed)" it to persuade the suspect to stay put until police arrived.

9 desserts you can thank Canada for and where to try them
Photo: Benoit Daoust/Shutterstock
Marina Wang
Canadians love their desserts. After all, what better way to bear the frigid Canadian winter than with a warm, gooey dessert drenched in maple syrup? Each region of the country has its specialty, but the one thing you can count on regardless of where you are is a colossal collection of confections that showcase the best local ingredients. Yes, you can expect plenty of maple syrup. These are the nine must-try desserts hailing from Canada.
1. Maple taffy
Photo: intoit/Shutterstock
To get the real feel of rural Quebec, pull up your boots and trudge through the snow to a sugar shack, or cabane a sucre. These remote cabins are small-scale maple syrup producers that transform sap from sugar maple trees into the syrup we all know and love. It takes 40 liters of sap to make one liter of syrup. Boil that down even further to make maple taffy. Simply pouring the reduced syrup on a bed of snow forms a sweet, sticky taffy that can then be rolled onto a popsicle stick.
There are vendors with beds of maple-laden snow at public skating rinks, ski resorts, and winter carnivals. You can also visit one of Quebec's many sugar shacks to learn about Canada's most iconic export. The L'En Tailleur Sugar Shack just outside Quebec City has been serving maple taffy to guests for eight generations.
Where to try: L'En Tailleur Sugar Shack, 1538 Chemin Royal, Saint-Pierre, QC G0A 4E0, Canada
2. Butter tarts

Butter tarts are ooey, gooey, and sweet. Buy them from farm stands in Ontario, but be careful with the sugary filling that too easily dribbles down your chin when eating. Butter tarts are simply a flaky tart shell filled with a sugar, butter, and egg filling. They're also Canada's most divisive dessert: The question of raisins or no raisins has been polarizing friends and families possibly since the tart's inception.
The butter tarts are likely to have originated with the filles du roi, or "daughters of the king," a group of around 800 single French women who were sent to New France to aid in settlement in the mid-1600s. The women began baking recipes they knew with ingredients on hand, so the story goes, and likely came up with the butter tart prototype.
Butter tarts are the pride and glory of small-town Ontario, where there are butter tart festivals, tours, and competitions. It's difficult to choose just one spot to try butter tarts, but Doo Doo's Bakery outside Toronto rings in the most accolades from the aforementioned competitions.
Where to try: Doo Doo's Bakery, 187 County Rd 28, Bailieboro, ON K0L 1B0, Canada
3. Sugar pie
Photo: margouillat photo/Shutterstock
The sugar pie (tarte au sucre) is a cousin of the butter tart. In the early days of French settlement, sugar was often hard to come by, so maple syrup was used as a sweetener in desserts. Sugar pie is likely adapted from a European treacle tart, with maple syrup replacing the traditional brown sugar. Unlike butter tarts, sugar pie usually comes in full pie sizes and is a staple around the holidays. Sugar pie is one of the dessert classics at the famous Montreal restaurant Au Pied de Cochon.
Where to try: Au Pied de Cochon, 536 Avenue Duluth E, Montréal, QC H2L 1A9, Canada

Pouding chômeur, which translates to "unemployed man's pudding," is a decadent dessert found in many upscale restaurants. Today, the dessert consists of biscuit dough or white cake drowned in a heavenly soup of cream and maple syrup, but the dish did come from humble beginnings.
The dessert was created by women who worked in factories during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Stale bread was soaked and baked in a brown sugar sauce, making a sort of bread pudding. Over the years, the bread was replaced with batter, and the brown sugar sauce grew to incorporate cream and maple syrup.
Pouding chômeur can be found across Quebec, but you can try the dessert at La Binerie in Montreal, a homey joint that's been serving Quebecois mainstays since 1938.

Timbits are the adorable little donut holes from the ultra-Canadian franchise Tim Hortons. They're found everywhere in Canada — in the middle of a conference room, on the potluck table, and passed around at a hockey game.
Tim Hortons, named after the founding hockey player, began as a coffee and donut shop in Hamilton, Ontario. The franchise introduced the bite-sized confections in 1976 and now claims to have sold enough Timbits to stretch to the moon and back nearly five times. Pop by any Tim Hortons to pick up your pack of 10, 20, or 50 in flavors like apple fritter, chocolate, birthday cake, sour-cream glazed, old fashioned, honey cruller, or salted caramel.

6. BeaverTails

Not literal beaver tails. The BeaverTails dessert is a deep-fried, crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside doughnut. The pastries are made with whole wheat and are hand-pulled to make them resemble a beaver's tail (hence the name). They're typically topped off with cinnamon sugar, maple cream, or nutella, although options abound when it comes to toppings.
The iconic BeaverTails franchise began in 1978 when Grant and Pam Hooker began selling the dessert at a community fair outside Ottawa, Ontario. Grant said their recipe originated with his German-Canadian grandmother, and the Canadiana name was given by their daughter. The couple opened the flagship store in the Byward Market in downtown Ottawa and later began selling the pastries along the Rideau Canal, the world's largest outdoor skating rink. Now, there are over 140 locations worldwide.
One of the most idyllic Canadian experiences you can have is skating on the Rideau Canal and enjoying a beaver tail and hot chocolate. While skating, you can grab your grub and warm your toes at one of the bonfires on the canal.

Saskatoon berries look like blueberries, are closely related to apples, and taste like sweet almonds. The prairie berries were fundamental to First Nations and settler diets, and they remain a favorite today. Many locals pick their own wild berries to bake into pies, but you can also try pies and other Saskatoon berry sweets at Berry Barn.
Where to try: Berry Barn, 830 Valley Rd, Saskatoon, SK S7K 3J6, Canada
8. Nanaimo Bars

Visit the seaside town of Nanaimo, the bar's namesake, and you'll find these sugary squares in every bakery and cafe. The dessert bar is made with a chocolate and shredded coconut base that's topped with a layer of custard frosting and finished off with a thin layer of chocolate ganache. The exact origins are unknown, although the first recipe was published in the 1952 Women's Auxiliary of the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook.
The bars can be found in cafes across Canada, but dedicated dessert dilettantes can partake in the Nanaimo Bar Trail, which includes 39 locations serving Nanaimo bars or Nanaimo bar-inspired desserts.
Where to try: Along the many stops on the official Nanaimo Bar Trail
9. Blueberry grunt
Blueberry grunt is sort of like a blueberry cobbler, with tea biscuits cooked over a bubbling blueberry filling. The "grunt" part of the name is thought to come from the burbling sound of boiling the blueberries, and the dish is common in the maritime provinces where wild blueberries grow bountifully. The exact origin of the dish is unknown, but it likely comes from colonial settlers to the region.
The decadent dessert is usually topped with a generous scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, and a good place to try it is at Salty's, a popular waterfront restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Where to try: Salty's, 1877 Upper Water St, Halifax, NS B3J 1S7, Canada

March 26, 2019—The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) announced the publication of data from a global feasibility study of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with the investigational Tendyne valve technology (Abbott Structural Heart). Paul Sorajja, MD, et al published the findings in Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC; 2019;73:1250–1260). Dr. Sorajja is the Roger L. and Lynn C. Headrick Family Chair for Valve Science Research at MHIF in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
According to MHIF, the study examined outcomes with expanded follow-up for the first 100 patients who underwent TMVR with the Tendyne device. Data showed that the TMVR procedure was highly effective in relieving mitral regurgitation (MR) and improving symptoms, with an acceptable safety profile.
The feasibility study evaluated the Tendyne TMVR technology in patients enrolled at 24 hospitals in the United States, Australia, and Europe who were symptomatic with grade 3 or 4 MR and were considered poor surgical candidates.
Clinical follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and annually thereafter. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score, and 6-minute walk distance were assessed at variable time points. Echocardiographic data were analyzed by a core laboratory, and clinical events were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee.
The primary performance endpoint was intended performance of the device at 1-month postprocedure. The primary safety endpoint was a composite of device success and freedom from cardiovascular death, reintervention for valve-related dysfunction, disabling stroke, myocardial infarction, life-threatening bleeding, major vascular complications, renal failure requiring dialysis, or other device- or procedure-related serious adverse events at 30 days.
As summarized in JACC, there was a high prevalence of severe heart failure symptoms (66%), left ventricular dysfunction, and morbidities. There were no intraprocedural deaths, one instance of major apical bleeding, and no acute conversion to surgery or need for cardiopulmonary bypass. Technical success was 96%. The 30-day rates of mortality and stroke were 6% and 2%, respectively.
The investigators reported a 1-year survival free of all-cause mortality of 72.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 62.1%–80.4%), with 84.6% of deaths due to cardiac causes. Among survivors at 1 year, 88.5% were NYHA function class I/II, improvements in 6-minute walk distance (P < .0001) and quality-of-life measurements were observed (P = .011), and 73.4% had an improvement in KCCQ score of ≥ 10 points.
Although further study to optimize the impact on long-term survival is needed, the Tendyne device was highly effective in relieving MR and improving symptoms, with an acceptable safety profile, concluded the investigators in JACC.

Pennsylvania Elections
Pa. Supreme Court shoots down another Trump campaign effort to invalidate presidential election results
Updated: Nov. 28, 2020, 7:58 p.m. |

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has dismissed a case brought by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Butler County, who unsuccessfully argued that Pennsylvania's mail-in ballot provisions violate provisions of the state constitution.
The justices, in a 5-2 decision, ruled Kelly's challenge should have been brought before the state ran primary and general elections with the new procedure. The law allowing wider voting by mail was enacted in 2019 and used for the first time in this year's primary and general elections.
Dissenters Thomas Saylor and Sally Mundy, the two Republicans on the seven-member court, felt the case should be heard on its merits, but they concurred with the majority in saying that even they would not be willing to set aside this year's results since the campaign had fully played out under the new rules.
The decision was the latest in a strong of defeats for President Donald J. Trump's efforts to overturn vote returns in key swing states that gave the American presidential election to former Vice President and Democratic Party nominee Joseph R. Biden.
According to Pennsylvania's unofficial, final tally, Biden defeated President Donald J, Trump by 81,660 votes: 3,459,923 to 3,378,263. That a margin of 50.02 percent to 48.84 percent, with the rest of the votes going to Libertarian Party nominee Jo Jorgensen.
Gov. Tom Wolf certified the result Tuesday, giving Biden the state's 20 electoral college votes when they are tallied next month.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers approved the legislation to allow voters to cast ballots by mail; until this year, voters had to request absentee ballots and explain why they couldn't get to the polls. Wolf signed the mail ballot law last year.
About 2.6 million voters cast ballots by mail in the general election. State and local officials have repeated defended the integrity of the election.

Some pointed questions by U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison recently earned the Minnesota Democrat a rebuke from a powerful Democratic chairman.
The incident occurred Nov. 7 during a debate in the Financial Services Committee on a bill to give $100 million in affordable housing grants to four urban renewal groups: The National Urban League, the Raza Development Fund, the Housing Partnership Network and the National Community Renaissance Program.
A Georgia Republican, Tom Price, offered an amendment to bar the grants from organizations whose leaders gave money to political campaigns. Price implied that such groups were reaping a reward for campaign contributions — and that the groups in the bill, which work for a predominantly urban, minority constituency, align with the Democratic Party.
That raised a few Democratic eyebrows, including Ellison's.
"Who on this committee do you believe is a political friend of the groups here?" asked Ellison, a freshman who represents the Minneapolis area.
"Are you accusing an organization of corruption?" Ellison countered.
"I'm trying to clean up the potential for corruption," Price said.
Price protested that it was the underlying bill that had singled out the organizations, but just as Ellison sought to reiterate his point, he was cut off.
"The gentleman will please show respect not just for the letter of the rules for the House but the spirit," boomed Chairman Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat not known for his patience, referring to a prohibition on ad hominem comments.
Price's office declined to comment for the record, and Frank did not return requests for comment.
The Price amendment was voted down after lawmakers, including many Republicans, pointed out that it would violate the First Amendment right to free speech. The underlying bill was eventually approved, and it now awaits consideration before the full House.
You can watch the markup by going to house.gov. The debate on the amendment begins just before the two-hour mark.

Sudeesh Karimbingal: 'Our Chennai plant will be a global CoE for Hanon Systems' rotary suction compressors.'
by Kiran Bajad 15 Oct 2018
The Director, Global Commercial — South Asia, Hanon Automotive Systems India on expanding capacity at the Chennai plant which makes thermal systems for domestic carmakers, targeting export of 1.2m compressors by 2020, the challenge of shrinking space for HVAC in the engine compartment, and BS VI as a catalyst for demand.
Hanon Systems is a global leader in innovative thermal and energy management solutions. What is the company's business growth strategy for South Asia and the India market?
We are one of the two major players globally for complete thermal management systems solutions for automotive applications. We have more than 16,500 employees working across our 40 manufacturing sites and 18 engineering sites. We have a presence in 20 countries across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. We have a matrix structure comprising of functional and product group organisations.
I am part of the global commercial function, primarily responsible for driving business growth and overall customer relationship management for the South Asia region, which includes India and Thailand and South Africa. In addition, I also have the responsibility for the Asia-Pacific region for one of our global customer accounts – Ford.
Our key automotive customers in India include Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Ford, Mahindra & Mahindra, Renault Nissan, MG Motors and Honda Cars India. We have four manufacturing facilities in India, at Chennai, Pune, Sanand and Bhiwadi near Delhi. The Bhiwadi plant is a joint venture between Maruti Suzuki and Hanon Systems. Maruti Suzuki has a 31 percent stake in the joint venture.
16mm dual-plane condenser
At the Bhiwadi plant, we manufacture all the powertrain cooling products including radiators, engine cooling modules, charged air coolers, and EGR coolers. We have also started manufacturing condensers from this facility, which mainly caters to the demand of Maruti Suzuki, and also does business with Honda Cars India. We supply our thermal products to Maruti Suzuki for various platforms across all segments of the market.
The Sanand plant was primarily set up for Ford India. We supply full climate systems including HVAC, condensers, and AC lines to Ford India from this facility. M&M is another customer we service from the Sanand plant. We have also started supplies to Suzuki Motor Gujarat. Suzuki has been ramping up its production capacity at the Gujarat facility at a rapid pace and is expected to grow significantly. With our fully integrated manufacturing facility in Sanand and Gujarat emerging as a major automotive hub, we are well positioned for strong growth with our key customers in the region.
At Pune, we have an assembly plant which has been set up for Mahindra & Mahindra to supply engine cooling and climate systems. Capacity can be scaled up if necessary for future business expansion.

In Thailand, we have an integrated manufacturing facility that caters to Ford, Mazda, Nissan and Kubota.
India is one of the largest and fastest growing automotive markets globally. What does this mean for Hanon Systems? What are the near-term and long-term forecasts and what do you think are the major growth areas in India?
Hanon Systems' global revenue was about 5.6 trillion Korean won (Rs 33,941 crore) in 2017; Asia contributes about 20 percent without Korea, between India, China and Thailand. South Asia contributes nearly 10 percent to the global revenue. Asia is the fastest growing market for Hanon Systems globally and we are excited about the growth of India market and its future potential.
HR exchanger
Evolving regulatory norms and customer demands are pushing the auto industry to go through a period of accelerated change. According to SIAM, an estimated $15 billion investment is required for upgrading the products to meet upcoming regulations related to emissions, safety and CAFE norms.
Emissions and CAFE norms are directly impacting our product line. It is estimated that over 30 percent of the fuel energy is lost due to thermal inefficiency in an IC engine. Reducing that inefficiency reduces fuel consumption and emissions almost directly 1:1. We play a critical role in improving the thermal efficiency, thereby improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
Our global vision is to be the market leader in innovative thermal and energy management solutions. In India, we aspire to be the market leader. In Thailand, we are the second largest player in thermal management solutions.
What, in your opinion, are the key opportunities in India? What is the level of engagement with OEMs for future models?
The automotive thermal system market can be segmented into four product groups: powertrain cooling, HVAC, fluid transport and compressors. The overall thermal market in India is about $1.2 billion today and is expected to grow to about $2 billion by 2022, at about 10 percent CAGR. Our goal is to outpace market growth and we are aiming for double-digit growth in India over the next 3 to 5 years.
water charge air cooler
All our customers are upgrading their current product offerings to meet upcoming regulations. We are actively engaged with them on multiple programs that would be launched in the next couple of years. We are also aggressively pursuing product penetration and customer diversification strategies which are expected to generate incremental growth avenues for us in the near future.
There are only two global players who can offer the entire gamut of the thermal management products, and we are one of them, offering us a technological advantage and customer recognition. We are always at the forefront in bringing first-to-market technologies to meet the increasing demand for innovative solutions from our customers.
What are the major global trends in thermal management products? How do you see the technological progression in Hanon Systems' portfolio?
One of the challenges we increasingly face is the shrinking space in the engine compartment to package our products. As more and more components get added in the engine section, OEMs are constrained to provide adequate space for tailored thermal management solutions. We have to find innovative solutions to meet this challenge.
Electric compressor for application in HEVs and EVs
Lightweighting is definitely another key focus area for our customers which is directly linked to a vehicle's fuel efficiency. Customers demand higher performance, long-term durability and quality with significantly lesser weight. Our engineers are always geared up to meet this challenge.
In addition to the increasing demand on cooling performance, the increased relevance of vehicle cabin acoustics is making acoustic comfort as a major performance criteria which is influencing our product design, especially in the premium vehicle segment.
How is Hanon Systems R&D structured globally? Do you focus on specific regions or it is done at central locations?
We have 18 engineering centres globally, including two in India. Our Global Strategy & Product Engineering Center is focused on developing core technology, standardised development processes across the globe. Then we have Regional Innovation Centers in Asia Pacific, Americas and Europe; these innovation centres support customer interface, technology application and program execution. The South Asia Engineering Center reports into our Asia Pacific Innovation Center.
We have three engineering sites in South Asia, two in India and one in Thailand. We have a clear road map to enhance our local engineering capabilities in India to support our customers. In 2017, we expanded the test facility in Chennai and are further enhancing our local expertise by the end of this year, guaranteeing a high level of responsiveness and offering global standards of program execution capabilities to our customers in India.
What impact is BS VI going to have on thermal management products? How is Hanon Systems preparing for this transformation?
In the drive for fuel economy and emissions reduction, thermal efficiency of the engine is key. With the stringent requirements of BS VI, OEMs have to use EGR technologies to prevent massive formation of NOx in diesel engines. Therefore, you will find EGR coolers (high-pressure or low-pressure or both) in the diesel engine applications to meet BS VI norms.
While we are likely to see a significant drop in smaller-displacement diesel engines going forward, there is increasing demand for EGR technologies on DI gasoline (petrol) engine applications to lower the CO2 emissions. We are already experiencing strong demand for our petrol EGR coolers from our customers.
HVAC module
All of our customers are in various stages of development to upgrade their engines to meet the BS VI norms. Our products are also undergoing changes as our customers demand lighter weight and higher efficiency thermal management technologies to meet these increasingly challenging requirements. We are collaborating with our Europe and Asia Pacific Innovation centres and providing tailor-made solutions to our Indian customers.
How is the company faring on the export front and are you looking to expand manufacturing capacity in the future?
We are aligned with the Make in India initiative of the government of India. We already export compressors and transmission oil coolers and heat exchangers from India to our global customers. We have recently expanded production capacity at our Chennai plant for fixed compressors. We used to make about half-a-million compressors a year ago. By the end of 2018, we will more than double the capacity. By 2020, we are planning to have close to two-million units capacity to produce new-generation fixed compressors with nearly 60 percent of that to be exported. The Chennai plant will serve as a global Centre of Excellence for Hanon Systems' rotary suction compressor manufacturing.
Our total export out of India is expected to touch about 12 to 15 percent of our revenue in the next couple of years.
Vehicle electrification is growing at a rapid pace, particularly in developed markets. What, do you think, will be the impact of the shift on suppliers like Hanon Systems?
Hanon Systems has been manufacturing battery thermal management systems for more than 10 years. Utilising our vehicle and system expertise, we have developed components and systems for electric vehicles that can be applied in various system architectures to meet a wide array of customer requirements. As an example, for electric or hybrid applications, we have developed a state-of-the-art scroll compressor controlled by an on-board electric motor and integrated power electronics. The electric compressor operates independently, enabling the cabin to be cooled even when the engine is off. We have received a very positive response from our customers about our electric compressors and will be ramping up our capacity in Asia to meet the increasing demand from our customers.
Other examples of e-mobility solutions from Hanon Systems include:
- Heat pump system – this is designed to significantly reduce power consumption for heating battery-powered vehicles, including EVs. This revolutionary design draws heat from ambient air and repurposes waste heat from the vehicle's motor and inverter to act as a heat source to support the vehicle's heating system.
