Q: Is a struct {...}; a type or an unnamed variable? Is the following, at file scope, a type declaration or an unnamed variable?
struct student_s {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
};

If it is a type definition, then what is the difference with:
typedef struct student_s {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
};

?
(Background: see my answer at Changing a variable from global to local - C, where I believe the first introduces an unnamed variable that is then optimized away by the compiler.)
Note: the question has been flagged as a possible duplicate of In what scope is a struct member identifier put? but I believe I am not asking a question about the scope of the members but about what the declarations actually create. However. answers to Difference between 'struct' and 'typedef struct' in C++? do explain my question.

A: As per the C standard, a structure declaration in the form like
struct student_s {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
};

is the declaration of a type. Quoting C11, chapter §6.7.2.1

The presence of a struct-declaration-list in a struct-or-union-specifier declares a new type, within a translation unit. The struct-declaration-list is a sequence of declarations for the members of the structure or union. [...]

C standard does not mandate creating a variable (either named or unnamed) for that type.
In your second snippet, you actually (try to) typedef to nothing. However, if you change your snippet to the form of
typedef struct {
         //.....members
} student_s ;

you'll be creating a type student_s (typedef to an unnamed structure type) which you can use later.
FWIW, we never talked about a variable being created here, anyways. It's all about types.

A: First declaration declares a type. After that declaration, the type struct student_s is known, and you can declare variables of that type or pointer to it :
struct student_s student1;
struct student_s *pStudent;

The second declaration is weird even if is compiles. The common usage would be :
typedef struct {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
} studend_t;

which declares an alias student_t to an anonymous struct. It can then be used directly :
student_t student1;
student_t *pStudent;

BUT THE SECOND EXAMPLE DOES COMPILE (even with a warning) AND IS THE SAME AS FIRST ONE !
What it really does is to declare a void alias to struct student_s. The typedef is ignored and produces a warning : typedef requires a name, but as a side effect, the struct is declared, exactly as it was in first example.
So the true answer to the actual question is THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES except for a warning.

A: Both are type definitions. The second one is one incomplete. It doesn't supply a name as the the argument of typedef. Much better is to use
typedef struct student_s {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
} student;

Regarding the legality of
typedef struct student_s {
    char* name;
    int age;
    double height;
    struct student_s* next;
};

I've asked that as a separate question, Legality of `typedef struct foo {int bar};`

A: It's a type, and you can't have an anonymous instance of a struct. For comparison, this declares both the type struct_type and an instance struct_instance of that type:
struct struct_type {
    /* blah */
} struct_instance;

If you wanted to declare another instance in isolation (from the type decl) you'd use
struct struct_type another_instance;

The use of typedef - if done correctly, unlike your example - just allows you to give the type another name which doesn't require the struct keyword to declare an instance:
typedef struct_type MyStruct;
MyStruct yet_another_instance;

or equivalently
typedef struct struct_type {
    /* blah */
} MyStruct;

omitting the name (struct_type) gives you an anonymous struct type which can only referred to by its typedef'd name.

Note 1
Since your original struct contains a next pointer to its own type, that type must have a name at the point the member is declared. So, you cannot declare an anonymous struct with a self-typed pointer. If you give your anonymous struct type a name with typedef, that name doesn't exist until after the member declaration, so can't be used there.
typedef struct /*S*/ {
    struct S *next; /* T doesn't exist yet, so without S, you can't declare this */
} T;

Note 2
You can declare an anonymous instance of an anonymous union, as a member:
struct S {
    union {
        int i;
        unsigned u;
    };
};

struct S s;
s.i = -1;
printf("%x\n", s.u);

but that's a very special case. I took the remark about this out of the main argument, in case it was misleading.

A: struct A { ... }

creates struct 'A' visible in struct namespace (which has nothing common with C++ namespaces). So, to access struct you have to use struct keyword;
struct A a;

When defined with typedef struct
typedef struct A { ... } B;

becomes visible and bound to B, and you can easily create struct like common variable of type B
B a;

Please, correct me someone, if I am wrong.

A: The difference is that with the first example, you have to declare a new variable like this: struct student_s variable;, however with the second example, you may simply do student_s variable;.

Downs Midfielder Facing Uncertain Future?
33 Aug 28, 2016 - 12:36 pm
By Soccer Laduma
News reaching the Siya crew is that Lindokuhle Mbatha is likely to be released from Mamelodi Sundowns. On his return from Sundowns, following his stint with Mpumalanga Black Aces last season, Mbatha discovered that he is not in the plans at the Chloorkop outfit for this season.
The midfielder has struggled for game time at Sundowns, since he joined from Platinum Stars in 2014. The 32-year-old spent the second-half of last season on loan at Aces.
Sources close to Sundowns have told the Siya crew that the player's future is being discussed, with a likelihood of being released before the transfer window deadline at the end of the month.

Headquarters of the Nanzen-ji branch of Rinzai Zen, Nanzen-ji is one of Kyoto's most important temples. Established in late 13th century, Nanzen-ji includes multiple major structures and subtemples. The 'Sanmon' (Mountain Gate) acts as the grand entrance to the temple complex, leading to 'Hatto' (lecture hall) and 'Hojo' (abbot's residence) including its famous 'karensansui' (rock garden).
Adjacent to the Hojo visitors will discover one of Kyoto's more unexpected attractions, a brick aqueduct. Built during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), the aqueduct once carried water and goods to Kyoto from Lake Biwa and today is one of the city's most photogenic landmarks, especially in October and November when framed by the autumn leaves.
The expansive temple grounds can be accessed free of charge however fees apply for entry into the main temples and subtemples. Other notable subtemples including Nanzenin Temple, Konchi-in Temple and Tenjuan Temple. Set against the backdrop of the heavily forested Higashiyama Mountains, each temple is beautiful in its own right and again especially so in autumn.
08:40 - 17:00 (until 16:30 from Dec.. to Feb.) Last entry is 20 minutes before closing
Open daily (closed Dec,28-31)
Sanmon: JPY600 / Hojo: JPY600 / Nanzenin: JPY400 / Konchi-in: JPY400 / Tenjuan: JPY500
To get to Nanzen-ji from Kyoto Station, take the subway to Keage Station – 20 minutes / JPY260 – from where it's a 5 to 10 minute walk. Alternatively, take Kyoto City Bus No.5 from Kyoto Station and disembark at the Nanzenji-Eikando-Michi Bus Stop – 35 minutes / JPY230 – from where it's also a 5 to 10 minute walk

the mighty monolord is back. my wife always shakes her head in disbelief when the name monolord drops. to be fair, it is a quite stupid name but over time i think it grows into being just cool. names aside, i learned pretty early in the year that the swedish trio would come up with a new full length but this time i wasn't sucked into pre-ordering the record from sweden like i did with the predecessor "vænir".
after i pre-ordered "vænir" back in 2015, kozmik artifactz put up some opaque colours in their store and i always thought that it would have been cooler to get one of those. but i stepped back because i already paid enough for the band exclusive version. this time around i wanted to wait for kozmik to buy a copy from them and save on shipping costs. it worked out and so i ordered a mysterious "colour vinyl" copy not knowing what it would turn out to be.
as you can see, it came to be the opaque yellow version. musically monolord knows the score. upon first listen i wasn't completely convinced of "rust". the songs felt a bit dull. after repeated listens my opinion did a 180. the record crushes everything in its way and is such a laid back piece of doom metal at the same time - infectious to say the least. the closing riff of "at niceae" is representative for this contrast. crushing but laid back as well. check it out.
the record appeared on riding easy records, like all monolord records to this point. the label pressed numerous editions for "rust". as mentioned before i got a copy of the opaque yellow pressing out of 400 copies. nice shade of the colour. it is super bright. the fold out cover is made of sturdy matte cardboard which smells good (yeah, i smell at records too). a quality release all around. kozmik artifactz has some copies left. riding easy records. 2017.

Pic River Ontario New Health Center
Team Determination Produces Dream Come True for Health and Healing Center!
By Sherry Hanes
On August 1, 2018, BIIGTIGONG NISHNAABEG FIRST NATION Elders, dignitaries, local leadership, health staff and citizens, gathered in Biigtigong Nishnaabeg, to celebrate the opening of the Biigtigong
Nishnaabeg Mno-zhi-yaawgamig which was formerly known as the Pic River Health Centre.
Erica Perkins, Health and Social Services Director, with 34 years in the health industry and who has worked in the community for 21 years as health nurse to director, and combined, for the last eight years in health and social services, was extremely instrumental in pursuing this much needed facility to fruition, driving this project with passion behind the long-awaited dream! Erica, born and raised in Wawa,
Ontario, has lived in the Marathon community for 30 years now and graduated as an RN in 1984. She has worked in the Sudbury and Marathon Hospitals in her earlier years and has always loved helping others. Working just as diligently, The Thunder Bay Zone Facilities Manager for Indigenous Services Canada, Lawrence Dorey, went beyond measure to secure the funding and ensured the center was 'on-time' and on-budget'.
This comes as great news to the community as the health center offers, Addiction Services, Children's Oral Health Initiative (COHI), Community Health Programs, Local Medical Transportation, Traditional Healer Appointments, Family Physician Appointments, Information on Non-Insured Health Benefits, Diabetes Services, Home & Community Care Services, Home Visits, Immunizations, Flu Clinics, Foot Care, Recreation Programs, and Social Service Programs.
Pic River is a reserve on the north shore of Lake Superior at the mouth of the Pic River, near Marathon, Ontario, Canada. The reserve is 316.6 ha. within its exterior boundaries. The reserve contains the community of Heron Bay, Ontario and serves as the land-base for the Ojibways of the Pic River First Nation.
Pic River is known for the role it has played in developing "run of the river" hydroelectric projects in Northern Ontario. It is partner to three projects: the 13.5 MW Black River generating station (GS), the
5.0 MW Twin Falls GS and the 23.0 MW Umbata Falls GS. In all, these projects produce enough electricity to meet the needs of some 30,000 homes in Ontario.Ojibways of the Pic River First Nation are currently attempting to create a self-sustainable reserve with employment, education and resources being developed and used within the reserve itself. Thus far, Pic River has a thriving forestry company, a cable television company and a high-speed internet company.
The official ground-breaking ceremony took place on November 24, 2016, to begin the construction of the new health center.
As quoted from Erica Perkins, RN, CFNHM, Health & Social Service Director, Biigtigong Nishnaabe, (in part):
Grand Opening Speech August 1, 2018.
"It started with a Vision from Leaders and community members….. some of you who are here celebrating today and some who are no longer here in this physical world but are celebrating with us in spirit.
When that Vision began people spoke of what Health looked like….what a Healthy Community would look like and it always came back to Mental, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual balance. With this in mind the Colours in the Health Centre were designed on the Medicine Wheel and the four directions. Architecture 49 worked with us and designed the colour scheme of our building to represent the Elements in the Four directions - Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Staff were then able to choose one or two accent colours in their offices – the colour they have chosen indicates the direction. These colours represent the work that we do here at the Health Centre with physical and mental health and how we strive to help community members keep their fire strong, and achieve balance in all aspects of their life. Health of the community essentially always comes back to the Land….the Language and the Culture and this building will help us deliver programs and services that reflect this. It is so exciting to see the Language throughout the building and visible to community members and staff every day.
This new facility is one step closer to having Traditional and Western medicine offered in one building and giving community members a choice. It will be amazing to have a sweatlodge here on site and to be able to have these ceremonies for community and staff on a regular basis.There are so many Partners to thank.Chief and Council for their leadership and vision. To Tony Jocko of the Anishinabek Nation and Lawrence Dorey from Indigenous Services Canada….thank you for truly listening and for advocating for Biigtigong Nishnaabeg….without the both of you the funding for this building would never have happened. Kelly Orza from Indigenous Services Canada for all of amazing help and being a sounding board when I needed it. Trish Foley from Indigenous Services Canada. Tony Afonso and Juliet Johnson
and all of the staff at A49 for the design of the building and overseeing the project from beginning to end. It has been great working with you. Sam Romeo and Gord Furoy and all of the construction crew at
BNL for your incredible craftmanship. JP Montano, Co-Director of the Dialect Revitalization and Alvina Michano, Biitigong Dialect Supervisor for their work on reimagining the Health Centre's employee roles into the language. These Nishnaabe language names can be seen on the signs throughout the Health Centre and the complete document can be found on the website under the Biigtigong Language Project. I would like to acknowledge the Health & Social Service Advisory Committee who provided guidance and support throughout this project: Council Portfolio Members, Leah Michano & Louis Nabigon, Community Members Stephanie Michano-Drover, Debbie Crosson, Anita Desmoulin Miigwech for your
support." (end quote).
The building itself, was predesigned but, it was one that could be worked with and changes were implemented that allowed for tailoring for addressing the needs for Biigtigong Nishnaabeg. Funding from health Canada, for just over 5 million dollars involved 3 phases, the design phase, the construction phase, and 3rd, the procurement of all of the furnishings. The center is beautiful and bright with colour and light. Everyone loves the energy around and inside this unique structure.
2005 was looking possible for a new center but, it did not make the list. In 2011-2012, the plan for the new center was once again on the plan… that is with the 'capital plan' but was bumped again because of
other more serious concerns for rebuilds in other areas of Canada. The old health center was for years, extremely over taxed for occupancy and servicing clients.
Currently, there are 27 staff that include, full time and p/t personnel for the health and social programs and also included, are visiting specialists, 2 doctors on rotation from the Marathon Family Health
Team. There is also Legal Aide personnel and a dietitian and a diabetes educator. There are About 500 persons that live in the community and the total band in approximately 1,200. (anywhere in Canada)
Erica could not say enough about the people who helped to make this dream come true and she also goes on to say, "The staff that I have working are the most amazing people that I have ever worked with and they go above and beyond anything that I have ever witnessed. No one went without services during the 2 days that it took to move everything from the old center into the new center. It is the greatest honour to work with them and they make my job easy!"
The actual move into the new building took place in May, 2018, when everything was being organized and set up but the grand opening was later.
The mandate is Health Promotion and Prevention, concerning public health on the reserve. The programs that are currently available are, Community Health Programs, Local Medical Transportation, Traditional Healer Appointments, Information on Non-Insured Health Benefits, Diabetes Services, Home & Community Care Services, Home Visits, Immunizations, Foot Care, Recreation Programs and Social Services Programs.
Team determination produces, dream come true for health and healing center!

First up, repairs for Montclair Fire Station No. 3. Then an expansion?
Darren Tobia
Darren Tobia Published: February 25, 2022
Montclair Fire Station No. 3 (DARREN TOBIA)
By DARREN TOBIA
Special to Montclair Local
At the corner of Nishuane Park is a red-brick firehouse that has watched over the south end of Montclair for more than a century. The building is slated to undergo a renovation that will allow it to continue serving as the township's oldest-working station.
"The building is being used differently than it was in the past," said Tom Connelly, principal at Connelly & Hickey Historical Architects, the firm designing the renovations.
Built in 1901, Fire Station No. 3 is from an age when fires were extinguished with barrels of water hauled off on horse-drawn carriages. Today, the weight of a 30-ton vehicle and modern amenities like a kitchen and an exercise room have put a strain on the building's frame.
First up is a project to address structural damage, as well as repair of the roof rafters, Montclair Fire Chief John Herrmann said. The Township Council approved $24,950 for Connelly & Hickey to design that part of the work in December.
"The second phase is the exciting part," Connelly said. An expansion, if approved, would be able to accommodate an additional fire truck for the first time in the firehouse's history.
A schematic design has been submitted to the township as part of a feasibility study, however, the Township Council hasn't yet acted on it. It would also ultimately need approval from the Planning Board and Historic Preservation Commission, Connelly said.
Township Communications Director Katya Wowk said at present, there's no plan to purchase a new fire truck, and there's not yet a timetable or an anticipated cost for construction.
The firehouse was originally designed by somewhat obscure architect T. Cecil Hughes in the Gothic-revival style, according to a 1981 assessment as part of the Preservation Montclair project by the Junior League of Montclair-Newark. It recommended the "unusual little firehouse," get landmark status as there are few examples of Gothic-revival architecture in town.
The crenellations along the rooftop and pointed archways give it the appearance of a miniature castle.
If the expansion moves forward, the new vehicle bay would have more "subdued" features while still paying homage to the original structure, Connelly said.
"We want it to read as an obvious addition but we want to use some of the vocabulary of the existing building," he said.
Victorian-era firehouses are incredibly rare, especially working ones, according to Matthew Pisarski, Preservation New Jersey board president. Technology evolves so rapidly that buildings that house emergency services often become obsolete.
Montclair is home to three century-old firehouses — which also include Fire Station No. 2 588 Valley Road, and the former firehouse that now serves as a Montclair Ambulance Unit facility on Walnut Street. (Montclair's Fire Station No. 1, on Pine Street, was built in 2003).
in 2019, Preservation New Jersey named historic firehouses throughout the state among the most endangered places.
"In many cases, historic fire stations aren't capable of accommodating architecturally the new fire trucks — that's why they're either abandoned or demolished," Pisarski said. His organization's annual list of the state's most endangered places will be announced in May. "To have examples of the early history of fire prevention services is a very rare thing."
The three older firehouse buildings have some protection enshrined in the township's Master Plan. The Valley Road firehouse, completed in 1902, is within the Upper Montclair Historic District. The Walnut Street building, built in 1906, is located in a proposed historic district. Buildings in historic districts and proposed historic districts are defined as "historic structures" and therefore require the Historic Preservation Commission's review of visible modifications and demolition.
The same goes for Fire Station 3, as it was included in the Preservation Montclair survey. The master plan defines properties mentioned in any survey filed with the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office as historic structures as well.
At the moment, Kathleen Bennett, chair of the commission, said the group is focusing on designating two new historic districts — the Estate Section, comprising about 180 homes, and the Upper Montclair Commuter District, with about 600 properties.

Martine Aballéa (born 1950) is impossible to categorise. Since the start of her career in 1975, her multiform artistic practice has been composed of multiples (postcards, artist's books, posters etc), objects and installations that bring imaginary places, mysterious intrigues and stories to life. She precisely combines texts and photographic images that have been corrected, edited and colorized (without attempting to preserve a natural effect) and by these means takes the mind on a great journey. Martine Aballéa invites the spectator to go for a walk with her.
Early on in her practice, she became fond of creating imaginary establishments such as L'Hôtel passager, which gained an actual physical incarnation at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1999. The hotel, the bedroom and the living room are recurrent motifs chosen for their fictional potential and because they are spaces of fleeting intimacy. In 2017, Martine developed a new fictional narrative, the Musée des Amours, with an installation presented at the festival EXTRA ! at the Centre Georges-Pompidou, a series of photos and a book.


Earlier this year, Pia Wilkes, CEO at VCA, was named as one of the top 100 women working in the automotive sector by Autocar as part of their Great British Women in the Automotive Industry initiative.

Q: wxpython self made widget and drag and drop it in a canvas I want to build an app for making UML diagrams. For visibility problems, I wish I could move classes using the mouse.
So here is my problem :
Do you know how can I drag and drop a widget in a canvas using wxPython ?
Found some things about ogl, but sound strange to me ...
Thx guys

A: Take a look at the FloatCanvas sample in the wxPython demo.  There is also a sample for the OGL package there.  Either, or both of those would likely be suitable for diagrams depending on your needs.

António Correia follow Portuguese, born 1948
Lives in Setubal, Portugal
Projects/Portfolios
Human existence on the planet leaves unavoidable and irreversible traces. Homo sapiens have been responsible for the evolving change in the world's evolution and development. Fortunately, since the beginning of recorded history, art has preserved the actions and memories of our ancestors. Many of these iconographic symbols and art forms collectively represent a cosmic vision of human existence.
Based on this broad idea, Antonio thought it would be interesting to define a photographic work whose aim would be to build a collection based on the heritage of contemporary architecture, spaces and urban areas where the intervention of the Human Being left in the past strong marks of his presence and transit.
Globalization is being imposed over society and to Portuguese one in particular, a change that forced to radical shifts not always with positive results. Abandonment of housing once full of Life is a depressing reality that he tries to register here as the remains left behind an Human occupation.
Distant Mountains
The camera is now a part of his persona and leaves him to concentrate on the aesthetics of an image. He has that freedom to concentrate on the reality behind the facade, capturing the emotions, experiences, and feelings of people in the street.
The great majority of his photographs are black and white; Antonio is convinced that this classic approach is the best way to show reality.The viewer is not distracted by colour, and the eye concentrates on the contrast and lines of a person.
To date he is involved in local collective exhibitions and has been published two or three times in collective books. As he continues to expand on his themes he is looking forward to holding solo exhibitions, hopefully outside of his country of Portugal.
Antonio was born in Setúbal, Portugal at the end of 1940s. Photography was a family hobby as his father used to take pictures around their hometown of boats, landscapes and people. A special memory he has is of his father and uncle working very late at night in the darkroom.
During his teen years his father lent him his Rolleiflex and taught him how to take pictures. When he became proficient he was given a Pentax and shown how to develop film and print in the darkroom.
His love of photography was cut short when he was called up for compulsory military service and sent off to the former Portuguese colony of Timor, today Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. On his return he obtained a degree in Architecture and worked as a professional for more than 31 years and had little time for photography. However, some years ago, before his retirement, he recommenced his passion for photography.
Returning to his hometown roots he chairs the local camera group and attends regular meetings every week to discuss experiences, analyze photos, practices, new themes and ways to accomplish them. He continues to learn his craft but has mastered most of the fundamental technical issues, learning, experimenting and fine-tuning his skills.

DOE opens lithium-ion battery recycling center
Agency commissions ReCell facility at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.
Posted by Brian Taylor
Legislation & Regulations Nonferrous
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has opened a battery recycling research and development center at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois. The goal of the R&D facility is to reclaim and recycle materials such as cobalt and lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries.
The use of lithium-ion batteries has surged in recent years, starting with electronics and expanding into the growing electric and hybrid vehicle industry, says the DOE, adding that the technologies to optimize recycling of these batteries has not kept pace.
The launch of the DOE's lithium-ion battery recycling center, called the ReCell Center, "will help the United States grow a globally competitive recycling industry and reduce our reliance on foreign sources of battery materials," says the agency.
"The ReCell Center will help expedite the pursuit to profitable lithium-ion battery recycling," comments Jeff Spangenberger, director of the ReCell Center.
"ReCell brings our national laboratories, the private sector and universities together to develop advanced technologies that safely and cost-effectively recycle lithium-ion batteries," says Daniel R Simmons, assistant secretary of the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). "This center will create jobs and create a national supply of lithium-based battery materials, as well as spur the adoption of an affordable electric vehicle economy."
Recycled materials from lithium-ion batteries can be reused in new batteries, reducing production costs by 10 to 30 percent. This could help lower the overall cost of electric vehicle (EV) batteries closer to the DOE's goal of $80 per kilowatt hour, says the agency.
The DOE says the ReCell Center initiative is a collaboration between Argonne; the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and several universities, including Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts, the University of California at San Diego and Michigan Technological University.
WPI has received a one-year, $150,000 contract to conduct research on the effects of impurities on the cathode materials used to make lithium-ion batteries. Yan Wang, a WPI professor of mechanical engineering who developed a process for recycling lithium-ion batteries that can recover and reuse cathode materials regardless of their chemistry, will lead the project. Battery Resourcers, a company co-founded by Wang, licensed the patented process and has established a pilot plant in Worcester to demonstrate that it can be scaled up to near-commercial capacity.
"Collaborators from across the battery supply chain, including battery manufacturers, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), recycling centers, battery life cycle management services and material suppliers, are working with the center," says the DOE.
The ReCell Center is supported by the DOE with $15 million in funding over three years, and its work will include development of test beds and a process scale-up facility at Argonne.
The center and its collaborators will focus on four research areas designed to enable profitable lithium-ion battery recycling for industry adoption:
a direct cathode recycling focus will develop recycling processes that generate products that go directly back into new batteries without the need for costly reprocessing;
a focus to recover other materials will work to create technologies to cost-effectively recycle other battery materials, providing additional revenue streams;
design-for-recycling will develop new battery designs optimized to make future batteries easier to recycle; and
modeling and analysis tools will be developed and used to help direct an efficient path of R&D and to validate the work performed within the center.
"This is an exciting time as applications for energy storage continue to expand," says Argonne Director Paul Kearns. "Together, DOE and Argonne have made pivotal discoveries in advanced materials, chemistry and engineering that have made batteries safer and longer lasting. We are proud to pioneer the first scaleup and pilot test facilities to enable cost-effective battery recycling, helping to drive U.S. prosperity and security."
The DOE also announced it is kicking off its Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize. The prize encourages entrepreneurs to find innovative solutions to collecting, storing and transporting discarded lithium-ion batteries for eventual recycling. It will award cash prizes totaling $5.5 million to contestants in three phases designed to accelerate the development of solutions from concept to prototype.

Canada Fibers lands contracts to build MRFs
Company will build one MRF in Manitoba and retrofit another in Peel, Ontario.
Posted by Dan Sandoval
Equipment & Products Municipal / IC&I
Toronto-based Canada Fibers Ltd. (CFL) has been awarded contracts to design, build and operate single-stream material recovery facilities (MRFs) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and in Peel, Ontario. According to the contracts, Canada Fibers will build an 80,000-square-foot facility in Winnipeg and retrofit an existing facility in Peel.
The Winnipeg facility is expected to be operational this fall and will be equipped with an integrated cascading cluster of infrared optical sorters. According to CFL, the optical sorters, combined with other equipment, will make the plant flexible in response to the changing composition of the recyclables stream.
In Peel, the retrofit is expected to begin this fall and be completed in early 2020. The facility will house technologies designed to provide optimal recovery, purity and flexibility to respond to changing inbound material composition and stricter end market quality requirements.
"Employee involvement in continuous improvement activities is essential to achievement of desired outcomes," says Stephen Miranda vice president of Canada Fibers. "Machinex Industries Inc.'s forward-thinking equipment will be utilized in both projects to push the envelope of MRF capabilities."
When fully operational, each MRF will be able to process more than 100,000 metric tons of recyclables per year.
Says Mark Badger, executive vice president of Canada Fibers, "The two long-term contract awards are a tribute to the dedication of all employees and associates who work hard each day in challenging conditions to exceed customers' increasingly stringent expectations. We will continue to proactively invest in technologies, training and employee involvement programs to enable further growth founded upon trusting relationships with our customers."

Rubicon Global, State Farm Arena recycle 12 tons of waste during Super Bowl events
Rubicon Global worked with arena to develop a sustainability plan, set up recycling containers and train employees.
By Kelly Maile
Ferrous Municipal / IC&I Nonferrous Paper
Atlanta-based Rubicon Global, a company that provides waste, recycling and "smart city" solutions to businesses and governments, has announced it diverted nearly 12 tons of waste generated during Super Bowl events at State Farm Arena, Atlanta.
More than 50,000 press and guests passed through the arena for the Super Bowl Opening Night press conference, as well as the EA Sports Bowl, the 2019 Super Bowl Music Fest and other events.
Rubicon says teams at State Farm Arena planned, unpacked and built temporary booths and meeting spaces, creating an excess of metal, wood, paper and old corrugated containers (OCC) that "needed an end-destination."
In partnering with State Farm Arena, Rubicon Global says its construction and demolition team worked with Waste Eliminator, a roll-off container service provider, to develop a sustainability plan and set up specified containers to implement a recycling stream solution during the tear-down process.
"As with all recycling--and the construction industry is no different--making the recycling process easier is critical for success," says Marc Spiegel, Rubicon Global co-founder and head of the company's construction and demolition division. "The impact that trash has on the environment and our communities is harmful today but will be magnified in the long-term if we don't shift our mindsets away from landfills."
In total, 15 truckloads of 30-yard open top containers resulted in more than 2 tons of metal, 6 tons of wood, 3 tons of paper and OCC diverted from landfill. Training, signage and education were provided for State Farm Arena's temporary and full-time employees to ensure proper diversion techniques and eliminate cross-contamination, Rubicon says.
"State Farm Arena is always conscious of our waste streams being part of a sustainability model in every possible way," says Geoff Stiles, vice president of facilities and building operations for State Farm Arena. "We've been excited by the creative thinking, strategic planning and smart sustainability solutions that Rubicon Global has proposed to us, and we thank them for their help on this latest project."
In April, Rubicon Global also worked with the arena during a construction and demolition phase, with the removal of 12,500 seats from the arena as part of a refurbishment project. That project resulted in 64 tons of recyclables being identified.
Teams selected for Colorado NextCycle Program

Ferrous Glass Municipal / IC&I Nonferrous Plastics
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has selected nine teams for the Colorado NextCycle program, which provides funding, expertise and economic data to businesses, communities, universities and startups interested in turning recovered materials into marketable products.
During the open application period late last year, teams from around North America pitched recycled material end-market business ideas for the Colorado marketplace. CDPHE introduced the program in October to overcome challenges in meeting statewide waste diversion goals, which would double the state's recycling rate to 45 percent by 2036.
The nine teams selected for the pilot program will each receive a $5,000 business development grant, mentoring from the Colorado NextCycle technical advisory committee and technical support from RRS, the recycling and sustainability consulting firm assisting with the Colorado NextCycle program.
CDPHE says the support will help the teams further refine their recycled material end market business ideas. Teams will pitch their ideas at the state's recycling conference in June for a chance to receive funding to implement their business proposals in Colorado.
"I am so excited to see companies develop bold and innovative ways to reduce waste," says Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director at the department. "Colorado NextCycle provides the technical and financial support needed to turn great ideas into reality, and that's a win for all of us."
The nine teams include:

Smart Planet Technologies' reCUP earns AAA rating
The London-based company also earned this rating for its EarthCoating technology in 2018.
Posted by Megan Smalley
International Recycling News Paper
Smart Planet Technologies, London, announced that its reCUP technology achieved a AAA rating for recyclability from Europe-based The Green Dot (Der Grune Punkt) recycling standard. In addition, the paper cups are classified for recycling compatibility and collection streams alongside premium uncoated paper grades such as office paper. According to a news release from Smart Planet Technologies, The Green Dot recognizes standards for recyclability claims in 31 countries, including the United Kingdom and Ireland.
According to a Smart Planet Technologies' news release, the company reports that its technology also was certified with Green Dot A rating recyclability certification in 2018.
Given the U.K.'s coffee cup recycling debate and interest in reducing plastic content in packaging, Smart Planet Technologies reports that this certification is "a remarkable achievement for paper cup technology to not only achieve the highest rating available for recyclability qualifying for a collection category alongside office paper, but also reducing plastic content in paper cups by 40 percent."
Smart Planet Technologies' reCUP uses EarthCoating, a paperboard packaging coating producing paper cups that look the same and work just as well as any conventional paper cups. However, EarthCoating is designed to be universally compatible with conventional paper cup recycling systems, avoiding the challenges that have been found in recycling of paper cups and other coated foodservice paperboard packaging. With less plastic and easier repulping, paper cups with EarthCoating can also improve paper cup processing and efficiency in the U.K.'s efforts in specialist paper cup recycling schemes of conventional paper cups, currently at a 4 percent recycling rate.
"EarthCoating continues to enable a new direction in the recycling of paperboard foodservice packaging," says Chris Tilton, chief materials technology officer at Smart Planet Technologies. "Paperboard packaging with EarthCoating is engineered for recycling and valuable to recyclers to collect and recycle, while maintaining the required levels of packaging performance. The certification demonstrates the ability to take immediate steps to solve the problem, using any and all of the U.K. recycling infrastructure and programs."
This certification for paper cups with EarthCoating is compliant with the Packaging Recovery Organization Europe "PRO" program per EU Directive 94/62.

Regional Transportation Alliance > Accelerated Metropolitan Mobility Strategy > SMART freeways
The regional business community supports the scaled implementation of "SMART freeways", which call for the Systematic Management of Adaptable Roadways through Technology to improve our metropolitan freeway network in a cost-effective, scalable manner.
Summary. We are hopeful that area freeways including I-40 and I-885 between Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill can become "SMART freeways" to link us closer and better together through the use of technology and innovation, including targeted expansions of on-ramp signals and the activation of transit priority shoulders over time. Others cities in the US and beyond have successfully implemented smart freeways; our region can also leverage technology and innovation to keep us moving as we grow.
RTA appreciates the leadership of NCDOT and our two area metropolitan planning organizations on this issue.
Background. The approved RTA action plan for 2023 includes five focus areas, one of which is rapid relief for freeways. A key component of our freeway focus area is to use technology to make the most of our existing road infrastructure in addition to targeted freeway expansions and improvements. Other names for smart freeways include managed freeways, managed motorways, smart roadways, and active traffic management along freeways.
RTA remains a strong supporter of the on-ramp signals on I-540 in north Raleigh that NCDOT successfully implemented a few years ago. Smart freeways can include on-ramp signals, variable speed limits, and dynamic lane and interchange management; these and other techniques can help manage and protect traffic flow on our multimodal freeway network for all users.

Umunya is an Olu Town and one of the five communities that make up Oyi Local Government Area (LGA) of Anambra State Nigeria. It is bordered by six neighbors: Ifite-Dunu, Awkuzu, Nteje, Nkwelle-Ezunaka, Ogbunike, and Umudioka. In the south lies Umudioka and Ifite-Dunu, both in Dunukofia LGA. In the north, Nteje and Nkwelle-Ezunaka. In the east, Awkuzu and in the west, Ogbunike. The boundaries are naturally demarcated by streams except at the border with Nkwelle-Ezunaka where an expanse of Umunya heath namely, Oli-Omoto, Ogwugwu-Obo, Ugwueze, etc. crossed the Kpokili River. Nearly all ten villages of Umunya have their own fresh water springs. The town has fertile lands; hence, its economy is based on agriculture.

Umunya is a town of ten villages namely Ezi-Umunya, Okpu, Ojobi, Umuebo, Amaezike, Ajakpani, Odumodu-Ani, Isioye, Odumodu-Enu and Ukunu. These villages are sub-grouped into Ezi, Ifite and Ikenga sub-divisions, the tri-partite heritage of all Gadite H/Igbos commonly referred to in anthropological history as ERI-AKA Igbo.

Mythical and related (factual) history

The founder of Umunya is called Nya who was the son in-charge of the fleets of ERU, the progenitor of the Igbos of Guinea Forest West Africa. The story had it that River Omambala was joined by Isi-Ogwugwu, a fast flowing river that then encompassed the present Umunya area. Isi-Ogwugwu was believed to have created the rolling topography nature of the area as it is today. The scenic depression of Urunda towards Ogbunike is commonly cited by story-tellers, to credit this myth.

The story has it that on a certain Eke day, as Nya was ferrying fishermen and farmers across the stupendous Isi-Ogwugwu water course, he was struck by a moving flash in the river that followed an unusual wave swirl. The remarkable nature of the 'whirl and twirl' of the flash made Nya to suspend work in reverence to a river goddess, who he believed was passing to Eke market, in the west. As he went out to rest, he was shown a vision of a stone upon which he will establish a community of farmers who will become his own people. When he woke up, he discovered that the river had receded further beyond where he tied his canoe. This he took as a confirmation of his dream. He therefore settled here at the place known as "Ilo-Umuebo". This Ilo-Umuebo is now the center-court of High Justice in Umunya, where truth must be told. He brought his kinsmen and friends and founded the community known today as Umunya (UMU NYA/NNYA, i.e. "Children of Nya").

Before the advent of the whiteman, probably in the 13th or 14th century, Umunya was decimated by invaders from Igbo inland. The first of the attacks was seen as a conspiracy from within and it was responsible for the whittling down of the precursor villages of Ezi sub-group namely, Adagbe-Mpo, Mponenem, Oviabuzo, Ezi-Oli and Okpuru. This incident bore hatred until commensal sacrifices were made through the Ana deity and Ana Priest, Nwakonobi installed to replace the people killed in the mayhem.

By the turn of the 16th century, Umunya became introduced to the Nri installed style of Leadership with Igboegbuna Odezulu-Igbo Onenulu I, instituting the Hebraic Ozo Tradition. He brought a mystical piece of a "Lapis Lazuli" chunk originally kept by Nya himself and buried it to the foundation of his Obi at Umuebo. He became the first of the chieftainship of a warrior Dynasty that led Umunya until the 20th century, when the colonial authority established warrantship.

The Ozo is a trend in the life of the people much like the practice of Jewish cabala. It becomes the repository of Umunya Tradition and Culture. Formerly, it was the exclusive reserve of the "bold and prepared" men who were ready to keep the sublime truths, making them to be addressed as Nze (one who avoids evil).

Umunya, like its neighboring towns, is organized into three socio-political divisions: Ezi, Ifite, and Ikenga. This form of organization is said to be a distinguishing feature of Eri-Igbo. In view of the near extinction of Ezi-Umunya, the elders of Umunya decided on a reorganization, grouping Okpu, Amaezike and Ukunu villages, all formerly of Ifite, together with the remainder of Ezi-Umunya into a village grouping to be known as Akanano. What remained of Ifite, namely Ojobi, Umuebo, Ajakpani and Isioye were thenceforth known as Okpoko, while Odumodu-Ani and Odumodu-Enu remained as Ikenga. The division of Umunya into three units—Akanano, Okpoko, and Ikenga is both for administrative and defensive purposes.

The warrant chieftaincy for Akanano was held by Chief Nwabude, for Okpoko by Chief Nwanegbo, and for Ikenga by Chief Oraegbuna. As a peace-loving community, Umunya has been blessed with good leaders beginning with the warrant traditional ruler, Chief Nwanegbo Okocha, whose reign was from 1909 - 1930. The first publicly crowned traditional ruler came 39 years later in the person of Igwe (Prof) J.C. Menakaya (Ezedioramma 1) who reigned from 1973 - 1985; followed by Igwe A. N. Nwanegbo (Ezedioramma and Okocha II) who reigned from 1994 - 1997, and the current Igwe, Kris C. Onyekwuluje (Eze-Nya 1) whose reign started in 1998.

In terms of self-help efforts, Umunya community, though small in size and population, has made significant achievements. Several major projects have been undertaken and executed without government help. These include the construction of the health center, a modern post office, a community secondary school, a town hall, and a community bank. Only the electrification project was jointly carried out with the state government.  In the field of commerce and industry, there is a functioning commercial bank (at the site of the defunct ACB Plc branch). The major industries are Tempo Mills Ltd (now known as Niger Delta Flour Mill Ltd), makers of Tempovita and flour, the U-Gas plant (now defunct) and a multi-million Naira bodycare, toiletries and domestic products manufacturing company, Hardis & Dromedas Ltd. There are presently two major markets, the Afor daily and the Eke weekly markets. A modern market is under construction.

Many sons of Umunya have distinguished themselves in banking and in the civil service, while others have followed different professions or are distinguished academics.

Climate
Umunya has a tropical savanna climate. It has both wet and dry season. The average annual temperature for Umunya is 61° degrees and there is about 328 inch of rain in a year. It is dry for 125 days a year with average humidity.
In October Umuanya has warm temperature and little precipitation. The highest average temperature in Umunya is 97 °F in February and the lowest is 83 °F in August..

13 Mar Is diversity needed in the ownership within the car rental and fleet management sectors?
Diversity in ownership within the car rental and fleet management sectors is needed, this according to the Founder and CEO of Afrirent Holdings, Senzo Tsabedze. Senzo says the racially-skewed ownership patterns in the South African economy have remained a bugbear despite several legislative interventions introduced over the years to foster diversity. He says the non-regulated sectors such as the car rental and fleet management market is a perfect example of legacy problems constraining the growth of black businesses.


Are looking in for a fulfilling profession? The best choice is to become a binary options trader. This profession would not leave you with any regrets at all. You would be able to make a decent income sitting at home. You can work at your comfort and your convenience and this makes this platform an incredible selection. Binary options trading is a tricky profession and you need to master the art of trading right. There are many aspects that would make your trading profession a success and we would focus on all these aspects so that you learn the real secret to trading right.
Binary options are popularly known as the exotic options. It is very easy to comprehend the functioning of binary options. Binary options are very simple to trade once you grasp the basic concept. Most traders prefer to opt for the high-low option. The best thing about high-low option is that it helps to generate a fixed return. The high-low option has an expiry time and date. If the trader is able to wager the correct market direction and price at the time of expiry then this makes it easier to get a fixed return.
When the trader wagers incorrectly then he will definitely experience a loss. When you want to become a trader you would have to invest a lot of time educating yourself regarding this field. Remember when you lack knowledge you are bound to experience a loss and this is something that no trader would want. The basic trading mechanism is that when a trader feels that the market will experience an increase in the market price then a call option is to be purchased. When the trader feels that the market would experience a decline in the market prices then a put option is to be purchased.
Now most traders need assistance when they have to trade. The best approach in this regard is to seek the assistance of a professional trading platform for binary options trading. There is massive competition amongst the trading platforms so it becomes a challenge to choose the best trading platform. Binary Today helps traders find the right broker, and that's how I found my favorite.
HighLow is one of the best trading platforms and you would definitely benefit by selecting this platform for trading. HighLow is one of the top brokers because it has been quick to adapt to the technology. It operates using the new Spot Option. The platform requires you to make a reasonable deposit of about $250. You will get a secure trading future once you use this platform for trading. This platform offers a lavish payout of about 85 percent. HighLow is even available to the US traders. This binary options trading platform is bliss for the traders because it offers 24/7 live chat. This means that whenever you have a question you can raise it to the customer support and you would get the answers to all your queries in no time.
This platform offers 18 currencies, 63 stocks, 40 indices and 8 commodities. You can make your payments using the credit card or wire transfer. Usually it takes one to three business days for payment withdrawal. The best incentive is that this platform encourages you to trade even when you cannot invest a huge capital. For example, you can place a 60 seconds trade with a minimum amount of $5. If you want to invest in any other trade you just need about $25.
The platform has a large number of trading options including double up, rollover, one touch binary options, 60 seconds and lately the platform has also introduced the 2 minute trading option. If you feel that you might experience a loss you can make use of the sell early option as well. The platform also offers an advanced colour chart for your assistance. HighLow gives a 100 percent welcome bonus when you make a deposit to this platform and your investment is definitely secure.
I use many different systems with HL.
Now when you want to earn a decent amount through binary options trading you have to use the education center of the broker in a very smart way. For example, if you opt for HighLow it offers loads of video tutorials. Make it a point to watch these tutorials again and again. It is always better to list down the important points. This way you can take care of all these things when you trade. Remember educational reading material related to binary options is also of immense value. It would take you sometime, but the effort is worth it and you would definitely benefit in the end. Never become too ambitious when you are trading binary options. It would take some time for you to acquire your command, but eventually you will develop your hold.
There are other essential aspects as well when you trade binary options. Keep yourself well versed with the market analysis. The more you know the market the better you would be able to trade. It is obvious that you would make some mistakes in the beginning, but you need to learn from your mistakes. Focus on where you went wrong when you traded the last time. Develop a professional approach towards binary options trading and things would get easy with every passing day. Remember binary options can give you a consistent income once you become a skilled trader.
Start your day with new enthusiasm. Register with the best binary options trading platform. Explore the platform. Use the demo account because it would give you the opportunity to get the feel of real life trading. Allow binary options trading to become your passion. When you would trade with passion you would definitely be able to excel all the way. Take you first step and become a successful trader in the field of trading.

With a menu full of vegan twists on classic comfort dishes (think: Philly seitan sub, lion's mane roll, French onion soup, BBQ sliders), it's hard to pick just one of the intriguing things to eat. We went with the BBQ jackfruit sliders, which come in a pair, plus your choice of fries or carrot strips. Tender pulled jackfruit, seasoned and tossed in the house BBQ sauce, is sandwiched between two soft slider buns. The kale, red onion and grilled pineapple toppings add texture and a delightful freshness. Pair the plate with a made-from-scratch ginger latte, and you've got yourself a wholesome, cozy winter picnic. $12.
We found ourselves in downtown Denver recently, in want of a cocktail after a night at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. And lucky for us, The Nickel sits just a block away from the arts complex in the lobby of the boutique Hotel Teatro. The Nickel Negroni was sublime. Served in a beaker to minimize dilution, barrel-aged Jackelope gin, Dolin Rouge vermouth and Campari were perfectly balanced, making the smoothest Negroni we've ever had. Poured over a custom ice-cube imprinted with a signature "5" and garnished with an orange peel, we couldn't help ordering two. $14.
The newly opened Osaka's claims to offer "a new way to eat Japanese." That's true, but it also offers a new way to eat a burger. The signature Osaka burger is served on okonomiyaki, a savory cabbage pancake from Osaka. In between the pillowy, robustly flavored pancakes: sliced meat, noodles and lettuce. We opted for the buttobi modern, comprised of sliced pork and noodles slathered in a spicy sauce. It's powerfully flavored, with pleasant, floral cinnamon coating over the palate. The pork was tender and rich in umami. Osaka's, let us tell you, is a great addition to the Boulder County food scene. $13.
The Village Coffee Shop really is 890 square feet of reality surrounded by Boulder. Here the French fries flow like snow from the mountaintops in spring. There is no guilt at The Village Coffee Shop, only another cup of coffee. We can't say what it'll do for you, but the Village Club transported us back to the very first time we ate a club sandwich, that perfectly browned toast holding together thinly sliced turkey, thick-cut bacon, crisp lettuce, tomato and mayo in three layers. Served with old-fashioned potato salad, this is a dish of nostalgia. $8.50.

'Why India' to 'Why Not India': Modi on change his reforms have brought
New Delhi, Dec 19 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hard sold his government's reforms spanning from manufacturing to taxation to labour, saying they have changed the world perception about the country from 'why India' to 'why not India' and went on to quote record foreign investment during the pandemic as a testimony to that.
Speaking at industry association Assocham's Foundation Week event, Modi also said agriculture reforms brought by his government six months back have started benefiting farmers.
'There was a situation in the past when investors would question 'why India' (for investing in the country). With reforms (of past six years) and their effects, its proposition has changed to 'why not India',' he said.
He cited scrapping of 1,500 old and obsolete laws and farming new ones that in tune with the changing investment order as an example of his government's outlook.
'Earlier investors cited high tax rates to say Why India but today (corporate) tax rates are so competitive that they say 'why not India',' he said.
Previously, a web of regulations and rules were cited by investors to ask why to invest in India but easing compliance burden in the new labour laws have made them say 'why not India', he said.
Red tape previously made investors say Why India but a red carpet is now making them say 'why not India', he said.
"From a non-existent culture for innovation to a new ecosystem promoting and nurturing startups has given the world confidence to say 'why not India'.
'Earlier there was so much government interference that investors said 'why India'. Today the faith reposed by the government in the private sector and encouragement of foreign investors have made the same people say 'why not India',' he said. He stated that new India is pushing towards AatmaNirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
The government's main focus is on manufacturing and production linked incentives have been given to boost domestic capabilities and capacity, he said.
The Prime Minister called on the industry to make all efforts to make India self-reliant.
'Reforms have changed global perception from 'why India' to 'why not India',' he said. 'The world trusts the Indian economy. Record FDI and FPI during pandemic testimony of that.' Modi asked the industry to adopt the best corporate governance and profit-sharing practices.
He also said investment in research and development (R&D) must be increased and the private sector must scale up investments.
'There is a great need to increase investment in R&D. In the US, 70 per cent of investments in R&D is done by the private sector, in India the same is done by the public sector. A big chunk of this is in the IT, pharma and transport sectors. Today the need is of increasing the private sector share of investment in R&D,' he said.
More R&D funds should be set aside across sectors such as agriculture, defence, space, energy, and construction.
'Today when we are on mission mode to make local-global, we have to react fast to geopolitical developments. A mechanism has to be developed to see how India can meet any sudden spurt in demand in the global supply chain,' he said adding there was a need for better coordination between the Ministry of External Affairs, Commerce and Trade, and industry associations.
'I would urge you to give suggestions on how to react fast and respond on global transformation, how better mechanism can be developed,' he told India Inc. PTI JD ANZ ANZ ANS ANS

Revealed: What Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle United will have to pay to sign Adam Webster
Central defender's cost will almost certainly put off most interested parties this summer
Gregor MacGregor
Adam Webster challenges Birmingham forward Che Adams
Bristol City's Adam Webster has seen his fair share of headlines of late, linking the defender with a move to the Premier League.
And while some outlets have reported a price tag of around £12m we understand that any interested clubs are being quoted a figure far higher than that.
We have been told by our sources that the Robins have set a price tag of £30m for the former Ipswich Town man.
That instantly rules out any fellow Championship clubs and will see away all but the most determined Premier League clubs during this window.
Bristol City defender Adam Webster
While the reportedly interested Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Southampton, Burnley, Watford and Everton would be hugely unlikely to fork out such a fee currently, you can't rule out later bids should either club make a big sale themselves and then have huge funds to splash this summer.
For example, should the Foxes lose Harry Maguire for a fee in the region of £80m then they could easily look to bring in Webster and another player if they decide to target the Bristol City man.
Ex-Bristol City stalwart Frank Fielding attracting interest from League Two club
Likewise, regarding England defender James Tarkowski at Burnley and Danish international Jannik Vestergaard at Southampton.
Webster, 24, is seen as one of the best defenders in the division and statistically was rated as the seventh best player in the Championship last campaign by football analytics site WhoScored.com and also the top centre-back in the league.
We understand that the Robins are confident of retaining the centre-back this summer but should a huge fee materialise and it makes sense to sell then Bristol City have their own replacement list of targets. There have been no bids so far according to our sources.
"If you're a Premier League club and you're not looking at Adam Webster then you're not doing your business properly," said head coach Johnson at the end of last week.
Bristol City transfer news LIVE: Antoine Semenyo and Saikou Janneh sign new deals, Sammie Szmodics competition, Frank Lampard latest & more
"He's been a delight to work with, a fantastic character, good around the dressing room, and he's definitely improved this year due to his hard work and obviously the work the coaching staff have put in behind the scenes.
"He's a player we definitely want to keep and want to build around. You can never say never in football because if it was a top-six Premier League side that's chucking out serious money then we'd have to take a view, but at this point, there's absolutely no intention of moving Webby on."

Il cerchietto è un accessorio che si indossa fra i capelli, o intorno alla fronte, di solito per tenere i capelli lontani dal viso o dagli occhi.

I cerchietti normalmente consistono in un oggetto a forma di cerchio aperto, di materiale elastico o in un pezzo di plastica flessibile modellato a forma di ferro di cavallo. Esistono in diverse forme e diverse dimensioni e sono usati sia come accessorio di moda che per scopi più meramente pratici.

Universalmente riconosciuti come accessorio di moda femminile (ed in particolar modo infantile-adolescenziale), dagli anni ottanta è in parte entrato a far parte anche della moda maschile, in seguito al diffondersi dell'usanza di tenere i capelli lunghi.

Nell'immaginario collettivo il cerchietto a forma di ferro di cavallo è spesso associato alla figura di Alice, la protagonista di Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie, al punto che nei paesi anglosassoni si fa riferimento ad esso con il nome di Alice's Band, ossia cerchietto di Alice.

Storia
La nascita del cerchietto e delle fasce è da attribuirsi agli antichi greci che portavano le ghirlande tra i capelli; sia i greci che i romani li indossavano per occasioni particolari. Popoli come quelli degli etruschi e dei romani cominciarono a decorare le loro ghirlande con gioielli in oro ed argento. Mentre le ghirlande erano, sicuramente, i primi cerchietti, alcuni credono che le attuali fasce per capelli abbiano preso forma dall'usanza di mettere le sciarpe intorno alla testa o una modifica delle fascette che si legavano sotto il mento.

Varianti
Nel corso del tempo l'uso dei cerchietti è cambiato, se prima erano indossati solo per occasioni speciali ben presto sono diventati veri accessori di moda. Le varietà sono molteplici, si possono trovare in: pelle, plastica, metallo, tessuto o dentati. I cerchietti di pelle, di solito, sono incollati su una fascia in plastica dura oppure sono cuciti a mano. Quelli di plastica, che sono i più comuni, possono essere ondulati, dritti o ad angolo e disponibili in un'infinità di colori. I modelli realizzati solo in metallo hanno uno scopo decorativo, molto spesso sono impreziositi da gioielli. I cerchietti in tessuto sono i più comodi perché grazie alla superficie morbida non segnano la pelle; di solito dispongono di un elastico in modo che si adattino meglio alla forma della testa.
I cerchietti dentati presentano dei denti, come quelli dei pettini, nella parte superiore, utili per tenere i capelli in ordine.
Ci sono alcuni tipi che vengono utilizzati solo in determinati periodi come quelli con decorazioni di orecchie di animali.

Una variante del classico cerchietto sono i Deely Boppers, nati nel 1982, i quali presentano delle antenne che sembrano pom poms, disponibili in diversi colori.

Nella cultura giapponese, le fasce hachimaki simboleggiano determinazione o devozione.

Earl Sage
Type of Inductee: Builder Year Inducted: 2002 Sport(s): Baseball View PDF
Earl Sage holds a 50-year-old softball and wears his ORSA blazer.
May 7, 1923 – Nov. 15, 2011
With a lifetime of involvement in the Ontario Rural Softball Association, Reidsville resident Earl Sage follows in the footsteps of Lorne Johannes as a builder in the rural sports scene.
Sage was treasurer for 25 years of the rural softball league, when the league was in its infancy. It's something he thoroughly enjoyed.
Earl grew up on his family's farm, located on Whistle Bear Road. His father, Lorne, an avid runner in his day, encouraged him to get involved in sport.
Lorne had competed at country fairs and field days, often returning home with prizes. He even once competed against the famed Indian runner Tom Longboat.
Coming from a family of 11 children – Earl was one of nine boys – he did his part to pitch in with chores. And despite losing a brother to whooping cough, and another, at age 19, to appendicitis, there were always enough Sage boys to form a ball club.
Earl played his first game of organized rural softball in 1937 at the age of 14, just a few years after Blair resident Lorne Johannes and his friend Dr. J.C. Seaton had estab- lished the ORSA in 1931.
That was the start of what would become an almost lifelong affiliation with the ORSA. Earl played centrefield and first base for the Dickie Settlement team. He attended the school before taking his Grade 9 at Blair.
In the early days there were no uniforms or spiked shoes. Several playing fields were actually cow pastures; players had to look carefully before they ran.
There were no lights for night games. Sage recalled one game where the umpire, from the visiting team, refused to call the end of the game until it got so dark that no one could see the ball.
He played home games in the school yard at Dickie Settlement School, and prepared the ball field by cutting the grass and marking the diamond. He made a backstop from chicken wire on cedar posts, which he prepared on his farm. Players' benches and a pitcher's box were made from scratch, and the bases were grain-filled jute bags, half-filled with sawdust.
Sage continued playing until 1953, stopping when his father became ill so he could take over operation of the farm. The next year he was invited to become secretary-treasurer of the association, but declined the secretary's position because he felt he couldn't speak in public very well. He did decide to take on the treasurer's duties however.
He couldn't attend the 1954 annual ORSA meeting at Galt's Iroquois Hotel because he had to sow oats that day, but he subsequently learned he had been elected to the treasurer's post.That year there were only 14 teams, so Earl suggested they place an ad in the Co-op paper to recruit more teams. The campaign was successful and the Association expanded to more than 400 teams; Sage's workload increased dramatically.
In the 1970s the Association's savings were nearly wiped out when they were taken to court by a girl who wanted to play on a boys' team. During the four-year battle the issue kept moving up the judicial system, going all the way to the Supreme Court.
During his years with the ORSA Earl met many interesting people and through it all, the Association was always on his mind. In 1983 he was presented with a special award by the province of Ontario and signed by Premier Bill Davis.

Elizabeth Warren wants to Fight Coronavirus by Opening the Borders
She got a lot of flack, deservedly so, for claiming American Indian heritage when she's probably the whitest person in America, but we may have overlooked Elizabeth Warren's intellectual powers. Easy to do, considering one needs an electron microscope to spot them. For on the twenty-seventh day of February in the year twenty twenty, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren of the Tipi or something, suggested the best way to combat the coronavirus, a virus which comes from a specific area of the world, is by diverting funds away from border security. As in opening the borders.
Behold, pandering monolithic enough to see from space:
Coronavirus poses a serious health, diplomatic, & economic threat, & we must be prepared to confront it head-on. So… https://t.co/tIi7DQsjGE
— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1582817307.0
Let's run through the Squaw's tweet one line at a time. One, because I want to, two because it's fun, three because it's necessary.
Yes, coronavirus poses a serious health risk. One which many of us (myself included) wanted to jump ahead of when the first few cases popped up in cities with international flights going to and from China. My solution then was to shut down travel to and from China. But not because I have anything against China, other than the origin of the disease is from China. Geography is such a cruel, racist bitch, am I right? Alas, such rational calls were ignored.
Yes, coronavirus poses a diplomatic threat, since the disease is spread via human contact, including through diplomats who travel two and from different parts of the world. I doubt that's what Warren was referring to, she probably meant the threat diplomatically was one country's leader telling the other country's leader "no more traveling to and from your country because of the Wuhan." See also the point made in the paragraph above.
Yes, coronavirus poses an economic threat due to goods and services being unable to make their way across nations due to productivity slow down (since people are getting sick and DYING) in addition to fear of spreading a disease. A disease which may have been contained had anyone taken it seriously rather than poo-pooing it and telling those of us who didn't poo-poo it that fear of the virus was worse than the virus. I'll touch more on that later, but all this to say, yes, economies are threatened by a virus going viral.
All of that was outlined to draw one main point as we make our way to Warren's second sentence and proposal: This virus could've been contained had it been contained. Geographically. What's a really handy-dandy way to contain something, geographically speaking? Well, rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, moats of fire, and lakes of lava do a pretty bang-up job. Aside from that, if no travel impediment was created by the Sweet Lord, what's another travel impediment that keeps people from flocking to and from where they don't belong?
If you guessed "A big f*cking wall" then congratulations. You is smart.
...and what does Warren want to divert funds from to combat a virus? A big f*cking wall.
Elizabeth Warren 2020: spread stupidity while spreading disease, if it means buying votes from illegals.
