I sincerely hope there are no political overtones behind this.

An inquiry has been launched into "intentional damage" of a Royal Navy warship at a Scottish shipyard.
Defence contractor BAE Systems said repairs were being assessed after about 60 cables were cut on HMS Glasgow.
The Type 26 frigate is currently being fitted out at BAE's yard at Scotstoun on the River Clyde in Glasgow.
It is the first of eight Type 26 vessels being built. A BAE spokesperson said work had been temporarily paused for an investigation.
The military news website UK Defence Journal, which reported the incident, suggested that it may have been sabotage by a contractor in a payment dispute.
But BAE Systems did not confirm any motive for the damage.
