Gold prices edge up, but U.S. rate hike outlook drags
(Reuters) - Gold prices inched up on Wednesday, but remained near four-week lows hit in the previous session as expectations for a U.S. rate hike in March gathered momentum.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen last week said the central bank was poised to lift benchmark U.S. rates provided jobs and inflation data held up, comments seen as cementing plans for an increase at the Fed's March 14-15 meeting.
Investors are now awaiting non-farm payrolls data for February on Friday as a key barometer of the U.S. economy.
"Gold has made a modest recovery this morning as early Asian buyers are sighted. Whether they are picking up gold at a bargain rate or are catching a falling knife remains to be seen," said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at OANDA.
Spot gold had edged up 0.1 percent to $1,216.5 per ounce by 0323 GMT. It marked its lowest since Feb. 3 at $1,213.6 an ounce in the previous session.
Bullion is highly-sensitive to rising U.S. interest rates, as these increase the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding metal, while boosting the dollar in which it is priced.
"Gold will likely trade in a narrow band, between the $1,210 and $1,220 levels leading up to the non-farm payroll data and will exhibit a declining trend going into the Fed meeting," said Jiang Shu, chief analyst at Shandong Gold Group.
However, he said there could be a short-term upwards correction if the payroll data was not as strong as expected. "(But) if the numbers are positive, prices could jump below $1,200," Shu added.
Spot gold may stabilize in a support zone of $1,210-$1,213 per ounce and then bounce towards a narrow range of $1,219-$1,223, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.
Jeffrey Gundlach, chief executive officer at DoubleLine Capital, said on Tuesday he expected the Fed to begin a campaign this month of "old school" sequential interest rate hikes until "something breaks", such as a U.S. recession.
In other precious metals, silver was mostly unchanged at $17.48 per ounce.
Platinum edged down 0.1 percent, to $958.99 per ounce. The metal hit its lowest since Jan. 20 at $954 in the previous session.
Palladium eased 0.2 percent to $770.23 per ounce.


1. Add the lemon juice to the water. Peel the artichoke and leave it in the lemon water for about 10 minutes to make sure the colour doesn't change, then remove and set aside.
2. In a separate saucepan place the artichoke facing upwards, add water and bring to the boil.
3. In another saucepan, add the butter and flour, cook until it takes on a light brown colour. Then add the lemon juice and some hot water to create a creamy consistency.
4. Add this mixture to the boiled water (with the artichoke) and cook for 20 minutes first on high, then cook on a low heat for another 10 minutes.
5. Remove from the water and set aside to cool.
1. Peel the tomatoes and cut them into 4 pieces, discard the seeds and then put them on a tray, add some salt and pepper and a bit of dried oregano.
2. Put them in a preheated combi oven at 60C and cook for about 30 minutes.
3. Remove the tomatoes from the oven, put in a processor with the rest of the ingredients and blend to a rough consistency.
1. Grate the skin of the zucchini and chop finely.
2. Roast them in a pan along with the chopped fresh mint and garlic in olive oil, sauté for around 3 minutes and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add the water and cook for a further 3 minutes, then in a mixer or processor, blend to a purée.
1. Place the cooked artichoke on a tray along with the tomato marmalade.
Cut the goats cheese into rounds, roughly the same size as the artichoke and place on top of the marmalade.
3. Remove from the oven and place the zucchini mint pottage on the plate as the base of the dish, then add the sauce. For the final touch, add the garnish along with your choice of mixed cress, garden salad and or semi-dried tomatoes.
1. Combine all the ingredients and pulse with a food processor. If you don't have the sesame paste, use some freshly roasted sesame seeds that have been ground. Also, instead of hon dashi powder, a purely vegan substitute would be some vegetable stock powder.
2. After the first couple of pulses with the food processor, adjust the mixture to your taste with more or less salt, garlic, peanut butter or water than the recipe specifies, as per your taste..
1. Put the lamb rack in a plastic bag. Add all marinade ingredients and place in the fridge for 24 hours.

For the 129 people who died in Paris on Friday night, it was the end of the world. For so many of us who witnessed footage of the carnage and chaos in the wake of coordinated brutal attacks, it felt like the end of the world. As we close on the end of the liturgical year, which is November 22, the stories from scripture point to the end of the world. That's what the writers of both the Hebrew scriptures and the gospels expected.
It was an imagined Jeopardy question, posed by the Most Rev. Michael Curry in his remarkable sermon on Sunday, when he was installed as the 27th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. "Name two words that begin with E that are never used at the same time". Answer: Evangelism and Episcopalians.
I began a new spiritual practice about 33 years ago – six months after my wife and I were married. I didn't want to engage in this new practice, but my wife did. She had just heard a sermon about proportional giving, and she suggested that we sit down at the kitchen table, add up our combined incomes and then figure out what percentage (proportion) we were giving away. It wasn't much, less than one percent. She said we should raise the percentage, with the idea that in a few years we would reach a ten percent tithe, which was the challenge in the sermon.
Yesterday's tragedy in Oregon marks the 294th death or injury this year from an act of gun violence that involved the shooting of at least four people (as reported by Mass Shooting Tracker). Many of those shootings have happened in schools. We pray for the fallen and their families – and for those who have been wounded.
This morning I joined 450 others in the open space in the 9/11 Memorial Museum for an interfaith service with Pope Francis. Most attendees were religious leaders from the New York area, but there were many family members of 9/11 victims, along with political figures and various celebrities.
I don't know where it will go from here. I don't know how the presidential sweepstakes can get more bitter, produce more blather – and grab more gut-wrenching attention than what we have seen and heard over the summer.
And, God help us, we have thirteen months to go.
The most powerful book I read this summer was Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, an editor at The Atlantic. The book is a series of reflections written to his 15-year-old son on what it means to be black in America in 2015.
In the last several months, awareness of the epidemic of gun violence is catching up to the reality. Terrorist-like shootings in Charleston, Chattanooga and Lafayette capture our attention, rip open the heart and ramp up the fear. Police shootings of innocents in Ferguson, Cleveland, North Charleston and Cincinnati rile the psyche and provoke the paradoxical question: how can a civilized society be so uncivilized?
Sine Die – the agenda notes this as the final moment of the 78th General Convention, and it is a bit of a misnomer. Translated from the Latin it means essentially that we are adjourned with no future meeting scheduled. Yet we all know that the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church is already set, and will be in Austin, Texas. But for now, let us rest in the work that we have accomplished, keeping in mind these words from the Night Prayer in the New Zealand Prayer Book, "What has been done has been done. What has not been done has not been done. Let it be."

Q: How to verify subtraction of mocked classes? I'm stuck on a unit test I'm working on for the following:
if(dsIn.getItemNumber(1,"CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_AMT") != null)
{
    dsIn.setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_UNOBLIG_AMT", Double.valueOf(newValueIn)-dsIn.getItemNumber(1,"CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_YTD_AMT"));
}
else
{
    dsIn.setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_UNOBLIG_AMT", Double.valueOf(newValueIn));
}

I was able to mock the second case when getItemNumber() == null but I am struggling with finding the proper way to verify that the first case is executing and returning the appropriate number after the subtraction. I have tried writing the following test case for it :
@Test
public void testUncheckedApproved() throws TRDIException, IOException{

    Mockito.when(dsIn.getItemNumber(1,"CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_YTD_AMT")).thenReturn(4.0);
    evaluate();

    Mockito.verify(dsIn, Mockito.times(1)).setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_UNOBLIG_AMT", Double.valueOf(newValueIn)) - Mockito.verify(dsIn, Mockito.times(1)).setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_YTD_AMT",
    Double.valueOf(newValueIn));
}

This obviously doesn't work, and I've also tried to verify each method separately, but that is not the way to do it. The 'verify' method is incorrect. I just need to figure out this line.

A: I think the second verify is wrong. You posted:
Mockito.verify(dsIn, Mockito.times(1)).setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_UNOBLIG_AMT", Double.valueOf(newValueIn)) - Mockito.verify(dsIn, Mockito.times(1)).setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_YTD_AMT",
Double.valueOf(newValueIn));

But it should be:
double d1=Mockito.verify(dsIn).getItemNumber(1,"CC_FY_APPR_OBLIG_YTD_AMT");
double d2=Double.valueOf(newValueIn)-d1;
Mockito.verify(dsIn).setItemNumber(1, "CC_FY_UNOBLIG_AMT", d2);

(I omitted to check for the number of times these methods are invoked, since they should be invoked just once).

Excerpt: 'Almost Home: Finding a Place in the World from Kashmir to New York' by Githa Hariharan
Photograph of Manila by travel oriented
From Manila 1974: The Sari and The Fan:
In the early months of 2005, a burglar broke into the small flat in Delhi I then used as a workplace. I didn't chase the police about following up my complaint. Instead I wasted time speculating on what the burglar made of the place. (I don't know that it was only one man, but that seemed neater for purposes of speculation.) I imagined his disappointment at the rows and rows of books, not dusted as often as they should be. Perhaps he noticed, with disgust, how many unfinished manuscripts sat forlorn on the tables and in the cabinets. At any rate, he only trashed some of them.
When this man found the flat's one "Godrej" cupboard—an imitation one called "Be Happy"—his faith in happiness must have been restored. (There were large patches of blood-colored gutka spit on the floor by the cupboard, patches I took as evidence of relief.) Of course, there was no cash or jewelry in the Godrej, so his night was wasted. But he got a consolation prize—my three wedding saris that I had stored in the cupboard, just in case my offspring decided to marry in a more suitable fashion than I did. He also got a bonus—the fourth silk sari, a sari M.S. Subbulakshmi gave me when I was nineteen years old. I had never found occasion to wear the sari; it had too much gold for that. But in December 2004, when M.S. died, I took it out, admired it, and promised myself I would wear it one day.
No one in her right mind would associate Subbulakshmi with Imelda Marcos. One was a great singer, much loved by those who knew her or those who had heard her voice raised in song. The other was the Iron Butterfly—a dictator's hard, ambitious wife, given to wearing ternos with exaggerated butterfly sleeves and owning a shocking number of shoes. But I met both women in the same year. More accurately, I met Imelda Marcos briefly, in a group, because of Subbulakshmi's visit to Manila. The pineap- ple fiber fan I got as a token of my visit to Malacañang Palace lay among the mementoes of the years in the same cupboard. The burglar took Subbulakshmi's sari and threw Imelda's highly wrought fan on the floor.
There is some moral here, I suspect. The fan, which I had pretty much forgotten, now serves to make me remember and mourn Subbulakshmi all over again.
In 1974, I was at that awful point suffered by so many young people, between my B.A. and M.A., unsure of what to do with myself. I spent most of this restless year with my parents, who then lived in Manila. The high point of this limbo-like year was M.S. Subbulakshmi's visit to Manila to receive the Ramon Magsaysay award.
Soon after the award was announced, we also heard that Subbulakshmi was to be our houseguest, along with her husband Sadasivam and his daughter Radha. The closest we came to having family heroes and heroines were carnatic musicians. But still, I was surprised to see my mother's shining eyes and barely suppressed excitement. My mother is the sort who is, in principle, scornful of celebrity worship. If we admired anyone only for fame or social position, she liked to ask, with great sarcasm, "Has her head grown a horn?" (This is a far more effective question in Tamil.) So my mother's anticipation was a measure of the honor of playing hostess to Subbulakshmi. It was as if she was letting me know that anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear would understand that Subbulakshmi was not just an accomplished musician.
I saw my mother's point the instant I set eyes on Subbulakshmi. I had grown up hearing her music; I had seen any number of photographs in newspapers and magazines. Still her beauty, the quality of her beauty, came as a discovery. The innocent eyes and the warm smile; the fragrance of jasmine and sandalwood about her; and the soft-spoken voice that never seemed to say anything unkind even if someone was asking for a put-down: all these came together wonderfully in Subbulakshmi. Part of her beauty was her genuine lack of consciousness of the fuss and attention surrounding her. Once or twice, sitting next to her, I heard her humming under her breath as people made the kind of long and fulsome speech that accompanies any award. For me, this was the first inkling of how a real artist sets her priorities.
It was after the award ceremony, I think, that Subbulakshmi and her troupe were invited to meet Imelda at a lunch in Malacañang Palace. My mother and I went along. The lunch—the food, that is—was a fiasco. Clearly the Palace officials had not done their homework, and course after course of meat and fish came and went, untouched by the vegetarian guests of honor. Imelda, wearing a dress with her trademark butterfly sleeves, ignored this like a well-trained memsahib. She turned to her neighbor, the Indian ambassador, and asked whether Subbulakshmi was from the North or the South. She then looked soulfully at Subbulakshmi and made a little speech about how she had always found the music of South India especially spiritual. On Imelda's request, Subbulakshmi sang a bhajan at the table, though she must have been tired and hungry, and though there was no accompaniment.
On the way back, Subbulakshmi, incapable of thinking badly of anyone, made only one remark about the visit. Imelda, she said, seemed to have gnanam—knowledge, sensibility. Imelda Marcos and gnanam—my mother and I were silent, but we exchanged an eloquent look. We had our revenge, though. When we were back home and Imelda's guests were breaking their fast with idlis and curd-rice, Subbulakshmi's daughter opened the extravagantly packed boxes she and her mother had received from Imelda. The boxes were full of cigars.
There was no more talk of Imelda, her gnanam or anything else. Luckily, as a fringe member of the group, I got a fan, not cigars. And for some reason, it still lies in my cupboard all these years later, ready to tell me of the astonishing difference that separates two famous women.
I'd rather have kept the sari as a memento of my meeting with Subbulakshmi. But the burglar changed that story. I too must change his. Since I like a story to have an open ending, I have imagined into existence a suitable end to the burglar's encounter with my cupboard. I have resisted the unhelpful suggestions of friends that my silk saris must have been melted down to yield a few tiny lumps of silver. This is what I see, though I have not seen my burglar: I am convinced there must be a woman in his life, and that he has given her Subbulakshmi's green and gold sari. And I would like to think that the sari, despite its years of hiding, despite the dishonest way it was made to exit from my life, will bring some grace—some kind of soul-changing music—into this woman's life.
But this gentle mood of reconciliation came to me later. By then the aging century had faded and given way to the new millennium. To cities where the old homes of the seventies sat waiting in memory, a little too far from the twenty-first century.

The victim told police that her boyfriend had punched her twice because "was not cleaning quickly enough".
On Friday, April 5 at approximately 10:30 p.m. Sapulpa Police Officer Elisa Mudd was dispatched to a residence on Gail Lane to investigate an assault complaint. Upon arrival, Officer Mudd made contact with the victim, R.S.
The Victim advised that she and her boyfriend, Clayton Hunter Dunn (Defendant), have been in a dating relationship for the past three years and reside together in the home on Gail Lane.
R.S. said she was cleaning the kitchen floor when the Defendant punched her twice in the right temple with a closed fist. She stated that she was attacked because she was not cleaning quickly enough.
After being punched, the Victim stood up and got into a small physical altercation with the Defendant. She stated that after the altercation he left the residence on foot.
Officer Mudd observed that R.S. redness and swelling on and around her right temple.
Later Mudd was able to make contact with the Defendant at Tracie Lane and Sherlyn Lane. She advised him that he was being placed under arrest for domestic assault and battery.
Rather than speak with the police, Dunn requested access to an attorney.
Born and raised in Sapulpa, Elizabeth has a Bachelor's degree in American Studies and is a former banker. She is thrilled to be back in her hometown with her husband Michael and to be contributing to The Sapulpa Times.

Quantum dot (QD)-decorated stacking structures of graphene (G) and titania nanosheets (TNS) have been fabricated through a layer-by-layer technique associated with a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. The photoanodes with such stacking structures exhibit enhanced photocurrent responses under simulated solar light irradiation. Compared with the photoanodes without graphene, the photoanodes integrated with graphene could greatly enhance the photocurrent generation. Though the thickness of the multilayer films in our experiment is on the nanometer scale, a considerable photoelectric conversion efficiency has been obtained by employing such a stacking structure for the photoelectrochemical solar cell. The stacking structure synchronously taking advantage of the conductive property of graphene and the visible light-harvesting ability of quantum dots will enlighten the fabrication of novel energy conversion devices.


The BodyTrack project has interviewed a number of people who have improved their health by discovering certain foods or environmental exposures to avoid, or learning other types of behavioral changes. Many describe greatly improved quality of life, overcoming in some cases chronic problems in areas such as sleep, pain, gastrointestinal function, and energy levels. In some cases, a doctor or specialist's diagnosis led to treatment which mitigated symptoms (e.g. asthma or migraine headache), but where discovery of triggers required self-tracking and self-experimentation.
Importantly, the act of starting to search for one's sensitivities or triggers appears to be empowering: people who embarked on this path changed their relationship to their health situation even before making the discoveries that helped lead to symptom improvement.
The BodyTrack Project is building tools, both technological and cultural, to empower more people to embrace an "investigator" role in their own lives. The core of the BodyTrack system is an open source web service which allows users to aggregate, visualize, and analyze data from a myriad of sources — physiological metrics from wearable sensors, image and self-observation capture from smart phones, local environmental measures such as bedroom light and noise levels and in-house air quality monitoring, and regional environmental measures such as pollen/mold counts and air particulates. We believe empowering a broader set of people with these tools will help individuals and medical practitioners alike to better address health conditions with complex environmental or behavioral components.

Some business truisms never go away, like the one about giving away the razor so you can sell the blades. In the newest high-tech twist on that, Amazon says its upcoming Kindle Fire HDX tablet will sell at a loss, even though the price will jump 25 percent to $379 to cover new features like Mayday, a one-button link to tech support. Kindles, of course, are designed to steer users to Amazon's main business, selling content like books and movies. Few CEOs can hold a candle to Amazon's Jeff Bezos when it comes to increasing stock value by "giving the house away." Watch and learn ... on your Kindle Fire.
Remember last week's story about the $620 million fine over the "London Whale" debacle at JPMorgan Chase? Turns out that was just an appetizer. The full-course is a possible $3 billion to $7 billion settlement of a string of investigations and lawsuits over the firm's sale of toxic mortgage securities. The era of slap-on-the-wrist civil settlements is ending for Wall Street, and treading the legal line can now be awfully expensive, and embarrassing.

It's every executive's nightmare: you open your mouth before an important audience and something awful comes out. The latest victim of foot-in-mouth disease is Robert Benmosche, CEO of American International Group. He's apologizing for widely criticized comments to The Wall Street Journal that compared attacks over AIG's role in the financial crisis to lynchings in the South. Maybe those diversity sessions for employees should be mandatory for the bosses.
Quick wealth quiz: the biggest cache of well-to-do customers is in ... ? If you answered the U.S., you're wrong! Or soon will be. By sometime next year, wealth in the Asia-Pacific region could surpass that of North America, according to a new study. Total wealth of individuals with assets worth at least $1 million could rise to $15.9 trillion in Asia and the Pacific, compared to the latest figure of $12.7 trillion in North America. But wherever they are, wealthy folk are happy. The Millionaire Confidence Index, which has been rattling around the not-so-good single digits for years, suddenly spiked to 23, a record. Possible reasons: the survey predates depressing news like the crisis in Syria and the Washington budget fight; or the rich, from up in the catbird seat, can see economic improvements coming from farther away.
Does BlackBerry's suitor really want it?
Fairfax Financial intends to buy BlackBerry, but some analysts speculate that the $9-a-share deal is a ploy to force other potential bidders to ante up. Fairfax already owns about 10 percent of the communications-device firm, giving it good reason to see that BlackBerry goes for the highest possible price. Supporting evidence for the stalking-horse view: Fairfax faces no penalty if it pulls out of the deal, and will get a $157 million "incentive fee" if another buyer ends up paying more than $9.

Manchester United reportedly thwarted attempts from Barcelona to snare Pogba away from Old Trafford in the summer.
"Agents and players are becoming far too powerful", Allardyce told TalkSPORT.
A lack of consistency and tendency to resort to apparent showboating has frustrated some United fans, but Doucoure says his former France youth global team-mate has always played that way, and it is what has enabled him to get to the top of the game.
"People say I'm a leader".
Manchester United is of the opinion that they can convince Saul with the better contract package and more playing time in England to make him consider a move to England. Then I watched the footage, and he didn't say at all what was written.
The Manchester United full-back appeared to be knocked unconscious by an accidental collision with Spain's Dani Carvajal . The England captain was livid after Danny Welbeck saw his 97th-minute strike chalked off for a foul.
"Currently, I play there, but who knows what will happen in the next couple of months".
Pogba has done very little to douse the flames, recently claiming that he will be a United player until he's seen wearing a Barcelona shirt.
"I always said to my players before they went, "While you're on global duty do not comment about the football club, just concentrate on your country and don't contribute anything that may end up being controversial". He never told me he wants to leave.
And it seems many United fans already want him to leave the club. "David is David, no need of more words".
Mourinho says Pogba has never mentioned to him that he wants to leave but admits he is now "in the dark" as to whether he will stay put.
"Juan and Ander, even if they are not playing or not playing a lot, not starting matches, from the personality point-of-view and character point-of-view, by what they represent in the modern society in football, they are nearly unique pieces that I also don't want to lose".
Thomas Markle (left) has spoken to the media numerous times about his daughter Meghan Markle . She said: "Meghan is straddling two very different roles at the moment".

Foi na China onde este animal ganhou mais prestígio, virando artigo de luxo e apreciação pela nobreza chinesa. Porém foi na América do Norte que, através de um rígido processo de seleção e desenvolvimento de animais campeões feito pelos índios, que esses equídeos se tornaram aptos para a caça e a guerra, o que ocorreu na região de Nez Perce, no planalto do rio Columbia (o nome Appaloosa vem do Rio Palouse, que corta essa região).

A partir de 1938, com a formação do Appaloosa Horse Club, vem-se tentando melhorar a raça com cruzamentos utilizando os tipos Quarto de Milha, Puro Sangue Inglês e Árabe.

Características

Pelagem
Existem na base cinco pelagens diferentes no Appaloosa: leopardo, copo de neve, malhado, claro e marmóreo.

Outras características incluem:
 manchas coloridas, que geralmente são mais vivas nos machos do que nas fêmeas;
 extremidades finas e ósseas;
 crinas espessas
 raios verticais claros e escuros bem definidos no casco;
 corpo musculoso. Apto a fazer provas de velocidade e manejo com animais.

Gerais
Os cavalos Appaloosa se caracterizam principalmente pela pelagem malhada. No entanto, essa pelagem não constituem um padrão, como se pode ver nas fotos. Alguns tem manchas coloridas geralmente mais vivas nos cavalos do que nas éguas. As principais características físicas comuns a todos são as extremidades finas e ósseas, crinas espessas, raios verticais bem nítidos nos cascos e corpo musculoso.
Apesar de já existir a criação de cavalos Appaloosa no Brasil desde a década de 1970, no nosso país eles ainda são considerados "animais exóticos". Atualmente, segundo a Associação Brasileira de Criadores de Cavalos Appaloosa (ABCCA), há em todo o país, oficialmente, cerca de 2 mil  criadores formando um plantel de cerca de 25 mil animais. O maior número se concentra no estado de São Paulo, seguido por Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Goiás, Bahia e Distrito Federal. A formação do plantel veio a partir da características morfológicas da raça com base em linhagens de conformação. A seleção pelas linhagens é um processo através do qual se observa as principais características do animal que destacam suas aptidões para determinadas atividades. Na linhagem de corrida, destacam-se obviamente os cavalos mais velozes. Estes raramente são adequados para trabalhos porque costumam ser mais nervosos e apresentam mais dificuldade para aprender a realizar as tarefas. Na linhagem de trabalho, destacam-se os não tão velozes, que aprendem a realização de trabalhos com muito mais facilidade, contornando obstáculos com grande agilidade. Na linhagem de conformação, na qual os Appaloosa tem se destacado, eles são selecionados por ter como uma das principais características o biotipo do quarto de milha.
Os quarto de milha são cavalos cujas raças começaram a se forma com a chegada dos europeus à América no século XV (anos 1600). Eles surgiram através de cruzamentos de cavalos trazidos pelos ingleses e espanhóis com cavalos criados pelos índios dos Estados Unidos. Entre estes, constam os da raça Appaloosa, com sua musculatura volumosa, relativamente bem comportados, mas nem sempre tão versáteis como os da linhagem de trabalho. Neste caso, o mais importante para definir se o potro deve seguir ou não em seu treinamento serão os tempos que ele obterá nos primeiros treinos. Segundo os especialistas, não adianta o animal ser extremamente balanceado, correto, com uma linhagem excepcional, se não apresentar um tempo muito baixo marcado no cronômetro.
Mesmo assim, segundo a ABCCA, os Appaloosa criados no Brasil tem se destacado nas linhagens de conformação. A partir do final da década de 1980, percebendo-se melhor as aptidões dos animais, houve um crescimento do interesse pelas provas funcionais. Com isto, intensificou-se a destinação dos Appaloosa como animais de competição. A primeira prova exclusiva de cavalos Appaloosa para esta finalidade aconteceu em 1987, quando começaram ocorrer oficialmente eventos como campeonatos nacionais, congressos pan-americanos, o Potro do Futuro, o Futurity Appaloosa e campeonatos regionais exclusivamente para a raça em vários estados brasileiros.
Chega-se à conclusão, portanto, de que o appaloosa pode ser um cavalo adequado tanto para determinados trabalhos em propriedades quanto para competições. Apesar de ser um animal musculoso, é muito frágil para ser utilizado como animal de tração. Como a associação adverte, não é adequado para, por exemplo, puxar uma charrete ou uma carroça. A ABCCA orienta também sobre a importância do criador manter o histórico de seu plantel como forma de preservar seu patrimônio.

It is not sufficient that I succeed—all others must fail. — Ghengis Khan
Story of Napoleon - H. F. B. Wheeler
The Beginning of the End—the Leipzig Campaign
"the Colossus," said the Abbe Juda to Wellesley, "has feet of clay. Attack it with vigour and resolution, and it will fall to pieces more readily than you expect."
In the early days of 1813 the Iron Duke's opportunity for following the advice of the far-seeing Abbe was not yet come. Prussia, little down-trodden and despised Prussia, with a population of scarcely more than four and a half millions, was to pave the way for the liberation of Europe. When Napoleon had humbled the kingdom by the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine and fixed the Prussian army at the absurdly low number of 40,000 men—a mere handful compared with his own immense armament—he expected no further trouble from King Frederick William III. The Emperor understood the character of the monarch well enough, and he knew sufficient of Stein's patriotic ideals to insist on his dismissal from office. But such a spirit as Stein's was not to be easily curbed. Napoleon, instead of pouring water on the former Minister's zeal had simply added fuel to the flames. Stein, free from the exacting cares of State, proved to be more dangerous than before. He and Sir Robert Wilson had fortified the failing courage of Alexander when Napoleon awaited the Czar's peace overtures in the Kremlin; he and others now came to the aid of their own king, and like Aaron and Hur who held up the feeble arms of Moses at the battle of Rephidim, gave strength to the wavering faith of Frederick William III. There is much truth in Treitschke's statement that "Every step which has been taken in this (the 19th) century towards German unity, has been the realization of some thought of Stein's."
The conditions of life in Prussia had improved immensely since Jena. Before that decisive defeat it was a land of castes, just as India is to-day, and the agricultural classes serfs, as were the peasants of France before the Revolution. Civilised slavery was now abolished; there was a revival of learning; most important of all, for practical purposes at the moment, there was a revival of patriotism.
Public opinion in Prussia was against Napoleon, but moral force alone could not prove his undoing. Fortunately the country possessed a military genius in Scharnhorst, who had caused thousands of men to pass through the army while it still retained the normal strength allowed by the Emperor of the French. Recruits took the place of the efficient, and after necessary training, made way for others. This is the secret of the 150,000 trained men whom the King of Prussia had at his call.
An incident which did much to bring on the crisis which was felt to be imminent on all sides was the desertion to the Russians of the Prussian corps under General York. In the retreat from Russia, York was in command of Macdonald's rear-guard. The Marshal, leading the centre, duly arrived at Tilsit, opened communications with Konigsberg, and waited for York. At first Macdonald thought that the Prussian General had met with misfortune on the road, then rumour whispered of treachery, and finally an officer who had been testing the ice on the river informed him that he had seen the Prussians rapidly recross the Niemen. "Good Heavens!" Macdonald exclaimed as the full force of the blow became apparent to him, "we are betrayed—perhaps given up; but we will sell our lives dearly." His feeble forces, however, made their way through the dense forest of Bomwald, and after a sharp skirmish at Labiau, reached Konigsberg. From thence they marched to Elbing, crossed the frozen Vistula, and were soon within sight of the fortress of Danzig. Here Macdonald handed over his command to General Rapp, the Governor, and shortly afterwards was recalled to Paris to assist in the organisation of new army corps. During an interview the Emperor frankly admitted that he had been misled as to Prussia's policy, and that the campaign they were about to undertake would be "the last." "He added," says Macdonald, "that he put implicit trust in his father-in-law, the Emperor of Austria. 'Beware!' I answered. 'Do not trust the clever policy of that Cabinet.'" There was considerable justification for this remark; the Austrian contingents had played but a half-hearted part in the Russian campaign.
What York had done was to take matters into his own hands and come to terms with the Russians because he feared for the safety of his troops. Diebitsch, the commander who suggested a conference, really played a very good game of bluff. He had told York that he was intercepted, whereas the Prussian forces were over seven times as strong as his own! However, they arranged that the district around Memel and Tilsit should be neutral territory until the Prussian monarch's decision should be received. "Strictly considered," says Dr J. Holland Rose, "this Convention was a grave breach of international law and an act of treachery towards Napoleon. The King at first viewed it in that light; but to all his subjects it seemed a noble and patriotic action. To continue the war with Russia for the benefit of Napoleon would have been an act of political suicide."
MARSHAL NEY DEFENDING THE REAR-GUARD.
By a treaty ably engineered by the sleepless Stein and signed on the 27th February 1813, Prussia finally decided to throw down the gauntlet and join Russia against Napoleon. In the following June Prussia promised to raise 80,000 men for a subsidy of £700,000 from Great Britain, Russia supplying double the number of troops for £1,400,000. Even Sweden deserted the Emperor in March by agreeing to bring 30,000 men into the field in return for a subsidy of £1,000,000 per annum from England and the cession of Guadaloupe. Austria, while still pretending to be friendly to the French cause, came to a secret understanding with Russia in January 1813 for the cessation of hostilities. Afterwards overtures for peace were made to Napoleon by a Congress held at Prague in July. "Napoleon," says Mignet, "would not consent to diminished grandeur; Europe would not consent to remain subject to him."
When Napoleon heard of the defection of Prussia he muttered, "It is better to have a declared enemy than a doubtful ally "; as he left St Cloud at dawn on the 15th April for the headquarters of the army after having appointed the Empress regent during his absence, he said, according to Caulaincourt, "I envy the lot of the meanest peasant of my Empire. At my age he has discharged his debt to his country, and he may remain at home, enjoying the society of his wife and children; while I—I must fly to the camp and engage in the strife of war. Such is the mandate of my inexplicable Destiny."
While the French were growing tired of the ceaseless struggle, they had nobly supported the Emperor in his appeal for soldiers to fill the gaps in the ranks caused by the campaign of 1812. No fewer than 350,000 conscripts were voted, cities gave liberally and equipped volunteer regiments, the people still seemed to be fascinated by his genius and afraid of incurring his displeasure. But the army for the first Saxon campaign was unlike the old army. There were too many youths in it, fellows brave enough no doubt but unused to the rough life of field and camp. Fortunately for the Emperor the best of his officers had survived, and although Murat called his brother-in-law a madman, they still believed in his sanity and ability. Had the King of Naples termed Napoleon imprudent there would have been more justification in his remark, for his constant warfare tended to become an obsession. "I grew up in the field," he told Metternich, "and a man like me troubles himself little about the lives of a million of men." This was not the Napoleon of the Italian campaign, but a gambler, a man who put his trust in material forces rather than in carefully-chosen strategic positions, and swift, decisive strokes. De Fezensac had noted Napoleon's lack of care in the Polish campaign. "The order," he says, "must be executed without waiting for the means. . . . This habit of attempting everything with the most feeble instruments, this wish to overlook impossibilities, this unbounded assurance of success, which at first helped to win us advantages, in the end became our destruction."
At the opening of the campaign Russia and Prussia bore all the fighting for the allies, their forces numbering 133,000. Kutusoff, until his death in the early stages of the war, took command of the combined forces; the right wing being under Wittgenstein, who succeeded him; the left wing under Blucher. In point of numbers Napoleon was far ahead, having some 200,000 troops at his disposal, divided into the Army of the Elbe of 60,000, the Army of the Main of about 105,000, and 40,000 Italians and Bavarians. The Emperor's first step was to occupy Leipzig, not a difficult movement seeing that he had 145,000 men, while the Allies had only 80,000 to bring to bear on any one point. The headquarters of the latter were at Dresden. On the 3rd May 1813, two days after an action at Weissenfels in which Marshal Bessieres was killed by a cannon-ball, the battle of Gross-Gorschen (sometimes called Lutzen) was fought, the Russian and Prussian soldiers selling their lives dearly for the cause they had so much at heart, indeed they lost considerably less in killed and wounded than the enemy. There was a disposition on the part of some of the French conscripts to run away at the first taste of real warfare, but when Napoleon approached and said, "Young men, I reckoned on you to save the Empire, and you fly!" they took heart and fought as valiantly as the veterans. Both the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia watched from an adjacent hill the great sea of men contest the cluster of villages around which the battle centred. It was not until Napoleon brought up reinforcements that the fate of the day was decided in his favour, no fewer than four of the five villages having fallen into the hands of the Allies, who now retreated towards Dresden. Even then the fiery old Blucher—he was over seventy—could not resist a cavalry charge within an hour of midnight.
Sir Charles Stewart, the British Minister at the headquarters of Frederick William III., thus records this desperately contested battle, the prelude to what is usually called the first Saxon Campaign:
"A very brisk cannonade commenced the action on both sides. The villages of Gross and Klein Gorschen were soon set on fire, and taken by the Allied troops, but not without loss. Heavy bodies of cavalry were sent to the left to prevent the enemy from turning that flank; and the Allied troops were frequently drawn within the enemy's fire without producing the effect their exertions merited. The villages alluded to, when taken, afforded no solid advantages, as the enemy were equally strongly posted, barricaded, and entrenched in adjoining ones.
"The cavalry of the Allies (more especially the Prussians) advanced often so rapidly upon the French infantry that they could not get back to the strong villages from whence they had debouched, and they consequently received the charges of the enemy in squares. Great slaughter ensued, and the Prussian cavalry inspired their allies the Russians with the greatest confidence and admiration. The action continued in a struggle for the different villages of Lutzen, the Gorschens, and Geras, which were taken and retaken several times, the Gorschens remaining, however, always in the hands of the Allies. Towards the close of the day, however, a very strong column arrived from Leipzig, belonging to Beauharnais' corps, which threatened the right of the Allies, and prevented their making further progress. They remained on the ground they had so gallantly fought over, masters of the field of battle. The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the Princes of Prussia were present, animating the troops by the greatest display of personal exertions and bravery.
"The result of the battle was the capture of sixteen pieces of cannon, some standards, and some hundreds of prisoners. The battle lasted from ten o'clock in the morning till dark. It is very difficult to obtain any correct information as to the loss of the enemy. That of the Allies may be estimated at about 12,000 Prussians and 3,000 Russians hors de combat. The main efforts in the action fell upon General Blucher's corps, who was himself wounded, as well as the chief of the Prussian E'tat Major, General Scharnhorst, the latter severely. (He died shortly afterwards, on the 28th June.) Many most distinguished officers were killed and wounded, among the former the Prince of Hesse-Homburg."
As a sequel to this battle Dresden was restored to the King of Saxony, now only too glad to come to terms with his former friend after having abandoned him. Napoleon soon followed up the advantage he had gained by winning a second battle at Bautzen on the 20th and 21st May. The enemy was forced to retire into Silesia, but they did so in good order notwithstanding the severe fighting which continued, during which Duroc was mortally wounded. "Farewell, my friend," the Emperor said to the dying general, "we shall see each other again, it may be ere long!" He was so affected by the distressing scene that he refused to transact any further military business that day. "Everything to-morrow," was the only answer he would vouchsafe to his astonished aides-de-camp.
An armistice was now arranged, Austria making further overtures for peace which it would have been wise for the Emperor to have accepted, especially as they were by no means so preposterous as he made them out to be. Briefly stated, the principal conditions were that the boundaries of the Empire should be fixed at the Rhine, that Germany should be evacuated and the title of Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine given up, the handing over of Hamburg, Lubeck, and Bremen, and the partition of unfortunate Poland once again between Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Napoleon was scarcely civil to Metternich, the Austrian Minister who was charged with the delicate mission. "But I know what you desire in secret," he said in his abrupt manner. "You Austrians desire to get Italy entirely to yourselves; your friends the Russians desire Poland; the Prussians are set on Saxony; the English on Belgium and Holland. And if I yield to-day, you will to-morrow demand of me those the objects of your most ardent desires. But before you get them, prepare to raise millions of men, to shed the blood of many generations, and to come to treat at the foot of Montmartre. Oh, Metternich, how much has England given you to propose such terms to me?"
"You persist then," the Emperor concluded after a fierce war of words, "in bidding me defiance; you will give the law to me? Be it so! Let it be war, and the field of combat Vienna."
As a result of the armistice Austria threw in her lot with Russia, Prussia, and Sweden, whose combined forces consequently outnumbered those marching with the French colours. Now began a long series of engagements in quick succession, the most important being the battle of Dresden between the troops under Napoleon and Schwarzenberg on the 27th August, which ended in the retreat of the Allies, and the defeat of the French at Kulm, where 10,000 prisoners were taken. After Dresden the Emperor ordered the pursuit of the dejected Russo-Prussian columns, but it was not carried out with sufficient energy to achieve decisive results.
Napoleon suddenly decided to return to Dresden, for what reason is unknown; some authorities aver that he was taken ill. It seemed as though the French had lost their prowess; Macdonald met with disaster, Ney failed at Dennewitz when victory seemed in his grasp, Reynier was forced to retreat, Bertrand to abandon Wartenburg. Everything was going from bad to worse, but it was not Napoleon himself who met these rebuffs it must be remembered. The Allies were still afraid of him.
The Emperor now concentrated some 190,000 troops on Leipzig, the enemy having at their command a possible 300,000, all of whom, however, were not available at the beginning of the now famous "Battle of the Nations." This lasted from the 16th October till the 19th, and ended in the defeat of Napoleon. During the four days no fewer than 120,000 men were killed or wounded, eloquent proof of the awful nature of the desperate conflict. Deserted by the Saxons, Wurtembergers and Bavarians, Napoleon fought his way to the Rhine, crossed the river, and leaving his army, now reduced to about 70,000 men, arrived in Paris on the 9th November. "The close of the campaign," said Mignet, "was as disastrous as that of the preceding one. France was threatened in its own limits, as it had been in 1799; but the enthusiasm of independence no longer existed, and the man who deprived it of its rights found it, at this great crisis, incapable of sustaining him or defending itself. The servitude of nations is, sooner or later, ever avenged." The concluding sentence sums up the whole philosophy of history.

McDonald's Set to Race with Kyle Larson in 2019
2019 Season Marks a Decade of Partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing
CONCORD, N.C. (Feb. 19, 2019) – In their 10th year of partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR), McDonald's announces plans to serve as the primary sponsor for multiple races in 2019 on the No. 42 McDonald's Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, driven by Kyle Larson, in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS).
McDonald's has not only been a valuable partner to CGR for nearly a decade on the No. 1 Chevy driven by Jamie McMurray, they have also been a supporter of Larson's for several years. Although the increased presence in 2019 on the No. 42 Chevrolet will be a slightly new look, Larson has sported the Golden Arches on six occasions in his NASCAR career, having raced a McDonald's entry in each of NASCAR's three national touring series.
The partnership with Larson will officially start in Atlanta, with McDonald's first primary paint scheme of the 2019 season on the No. 42 Chevrolet. The paint scheme will highlight McDonald's current campaign featuring bacon on several of their Classics: the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, and World Famous Fries. The campaign begs the question, do Classics make bacon better, or does bacon make Classics better? As the paint scheme on the No. 42 Chevrolet shows, Team Larson is all in for Team Classics!
Through the ranks: Larson has competed in a McDonald's sponsored car in each of NASCAR's top-three national touring series, including the MENCS (Bristol Motor Speedway and Kansas Speedway, 2018) the NASCAR Xfinity Series (New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio, 2013) and the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series (Martinsville Speedway, 2016). His two MENCS races in 2018 resulted in a runner-up finish at Bristol and a third-place finish in Kansas.
Would you like dirt with that?: In addition to supporting Larson in the MENCS for the 2019 season, McDonald's was recently featured on Larson's entry at the 33rd annual Chili Bowl Nationals, a prestigious dirt midget race held in Tulsa, Okla. Larson won his preliminary night race, and finished second in the feature event driving the McDonald's No. 01 car.
QUOTEBOARD:
John Lewicki, Head of Global Alliances, McDonald's: "McDonald's has enjoyed a partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing for nearly a decade and we are excited to continue that relationship with The No. 42 team and Kyle Larson in 2019. Like Jamie McMurray previously, Kyle embodies many of the same qualities as a family man and a competitor, that are important to McDonald's and we look forward to having him as an ambassador to our brand."
Chip Ganassi, Owner, Chip Ganassi Racing: "It says a lot about our team, both on and off the track, that we will be celebrating 10 years of partnership with McDonald's this coming season. McDonald's has been a great partner over the past nine seasons, and we are looking forward to what this season holds with Kyle as their driver. I am sure there will be plenty of exciting moments throughout the year."
Kyle Larson, Driver No. 42 McDonald's Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: "It's always great to announce a new partner, and it means a lot that one of our team's long-time partners will join me and the No. 42 team this season. Along with Credit One Bank, and now McDonald's, I'm pretty lucky to have the opportunity to represent some great brands. I've enjoyed racing a few McDonald's cars over my career, and I'm looking forward to representing them on track this season. In addition to me, there is also one family member in particular who is pretty excited to see McDonald's join Team Larson. We came close to a couple wins with them last season, so hopefully we can get the Golden Arches back to victory lane this year."
About McDonald's:
McDonald's is the world's leading global foodservice retailer with over 37,000 locations in over 100 countries. Over 90% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local business men and women.

Estonia makes masks mandatory in public indoor environments
BC, Tallinn, 23.11.2020. Print version
At a teleworking session on Monday, the Estonian government approved additional anti-coronavirus measures agreed upon on Friday last week in order to protect the health and lives of Estonian people and prevent the health care system from being put under an excessive strain; among other restrictions, wearing a mask will be made mandatory in public indoor environments from Tuesday.
Restrictions regarding public meetings, events and entertainment with fixed seating are to step into effect from Saturday, Nov. 28. The restrictions will be reviewed every two weeks.
Prime Minister Juri Ratas said that with the infection rate remaining high in Estonia, the coronavirus is a threat to people across the country. "Without additional restrictions, our health care system may become overburdened. Normal coping of other areas is also at risk," he said. "The aim of restrictions is to keep life in Estonia as open as possible," he noted, highlighting the importance of individual responsibility in adhering to restrictions.
The premier added that in connection to this, the government has refrained from introducing absolute restrictions and fully closing any establishments.
The new restrictions are supported by both the Health Board and the researchers advising the government.
Wearing a mask or covering one's nose and mouth in public indoor environments, including on public transport and service places, is to become mandatory from Tuesday. The obligation to wear a mask or cover one's mouth and nose will not apply to people who should not do it on medical grounds, as well as to children under 12 years of age. A mask also does not have to be worn when there is sufficient distance and in other justified cases.
Public indoor environments are spaces intended for public use, entry to which does not require any prior registration -- these are places where many people who do not come into contact with one another on a daily basis are moving around. Public transport is also considered a public indoor environment.
The so-called 2+2 rule must be followed everywhere in public indoor spaces, which means that two people can move together but keep a distance of two metres from other people. This applies, for example, to bank branches, museums, exhibitions, hairdressing and beauty salons, public pools and saunas. The restriction does not apply to families or occasions in which adherence to the requirement cannot be reasonably guaranteed, for instance on crowded public transport. In the latter situation, passengers must wear a mask and keep the longest possible distance from other people.
The current 10+2 rule will continue to apply in catering establishments and places where entertainment services are provided. The rule means that a group may include up to 10 people, but they have to keep a distance of two metres from others. These restrictions do not apply to families and to occasions in which adherence thereto cannot be reasonably guaranteed.
From Nov. 28, the number of participants will be capped at 400 in public indoor events with fixed seating, at 250 in other indoor events and at 500 in outdoor environments. The restriction will not apply to children's playrooms.
Outside areas with fixed seating, people are required to move around according to the 2+2 rule instead of in groups of 10 people. The requirement applies to spaces for public use, such as cloakrooms, lobbies and other similar environments. The requirement does not apply to families and to occasions in which adherence to the requirement cannot be reasonably guaranteed.
The restriction will step into effect later than other measures to enable for theaters and other organizers of events with fixed seating to make the necessary arrangements to ensure compliance. Wearing a mask or covering one's face and mouth is obligatory on public transport. If possible, a distance of two meters must be kept from other people.
Up to two spectators may be present and traveling together at public sporting or exercise events, keeping a distance of at least two meters from others, except for families moving or staying together, or where such conditions cannot reasonably be guaranteed. The organizer must ensure up to 50 percent occupancy and the number of participants in a sports or exercise event does not exceed 250 people.
Spectators are required to wear a mask in indoor spaces. The requirement does not apply to children aged below 12 or to people who should or cannot not do it on medical grounds or due to the nature of the activity. The conditions do not apply to primary, basic and secondary education activities.
The condition of up to 50 percent occupancy and the limit of 250 people do not apply to professional and semi-professional sports activities in the competition system of the sports federation.
Organizers of sports competitions must ensure the dispersal of people and up to 50 percent occupancy indoors. The number of participants must not exceed 250 people in indoor events and 500 people in outdoor events. Spectators must wear a mask indoors.
Occupancy will be capped at 50% from Nov. 28 in Harju and East-Viru counties in all indoor spaces with fixed seating, such as theaters, cinemas, concert halls and churches as well as in public events and meetings and entertainment activities. Wearing a mask or covering one's nose and mouth is mandatory at such events.
The maximum number of participants in indoor spaces with fixed seating is 400; elsewhere else, it is 250. For outdoor events, the maximum number is 500. The restrictions do not apply to children's playrooms. Adherence to the 2+2 rule is required when moving around outside the area with fixed seating.
The restriction will step into effect later than other measures to enable for theaters and other organizers of events with fixed seating to make the necessary arrangements to ensure compliance.
A group limit of 10 people is set for indoor hobby activities, refresher courses and refresher training in Harju and East-Viru counties. Event organizers must ensure that members of different groups do not come into contact with one another. The obligation to wear a mask or cover one's nose and mouth will apply to people over 12 years of age. The principle of reasonableness must be followed.
Items for public use must be disinfected after each use; the service provider must guarantee the availability of disinfectants and compliance with disinfection requirements according to instructions by the Health Board.
These restrictions do not apply to training related to military defense or internal security.
Group training in Harju and East-Viru counties can be performed in groups of 10 people. For example, this applies to indoor fitness classes and other similar training activities. The restriction does not apply to professional and semi-professional sports under the auspices of sports governing bodies, including youth sports and extracurricular sports activities. Separation between groups must be guaranteed.
Up to two spectators may be present and traveling together at indoor public sporting or exercise events, keeping a distance of at least two meters from others, except for families or where such conditions cannot reasonably be guaranteed.
Spectators are required to wear a mask in indoor spaces. The requirement does not apply to children aged below 12 or to people who should or cannot not do it on medical grounds or due to the nature of the activity.
The condition of up to 50 percent occupancy and the limit of 250 people do not apply to professional and semi-professional sports activities in the competition system of the sports federation. This also does not apply to youth sports, that is to the athletes and teams participating in Estonian title competitions organized by the Sports Association.
The regulation of distance learning in Harju County and East-Viru County schools is being developed by the Health Board in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Research.
A maximum penalty payment of 9,600 can be meted out for failure to comply with the restrictions. The fine can be imposed on repeated occasions, if necessary.
An order by the Estonian government issued on Monday will see indoor hobby education and activities, refresher courses and refresher training subjected to restrictions in Harju and East-Viru counties.
The restrictions will enter into force on Tuesday, spokespeople for the government told BNS on Monday. "The restrictions are necessary due to the spread of the virus being most rapid in Harju and East-Viru counties; however, we still want to keep life as safe and open as possible," secretary general of the Ministry of Education and Research Mart Laidmets said. "It is crucial from the perspective of the mental and physical wellbeing of children and young people that hobby activities should not be stopped for as long as possible. It is also necessary for many people that refresher courses should continue."
Pursuant to the government's order, indoor hobby education and activities as well as refresher courses and training will only be permitted in these counties on the condition that the number of participants per group does not exceed 10, excluding the coach or instructor. It must also be ensured that different groups do not come into contact with one another.
Participants aged over 12 must wear a mask, unless they have medical reasons for not doing so or the nature of the activity does not enable wearing a mask.
The need for the restrictions will be reviewed every two weeks.

What an irony of the destiny that in the year of its 25th anniversary an international magazine The Baltic Course is leaving the market of mass media. A website about business and analytical news of Baltic States shall remain in the World Wide Web, but starting from 1 January 2021 it will no longer add new articles. This is a final decision. This is not a bankruptcy, our small firm doesn't have a single debt, not even to the state.

This dynamic model is used to predict the transient characteristics of an integrated autothermal fuel reformer and gas turbine engine for extracting a high purity stream of hydrogen from F-76 or JP-5 logistic fuels. The system design utilizes the hydrogen in a shipboard proton exchange membrane fuel cell power plant which incorporates a water-gas shift reactor for increasing hydrogen yield and a separation membrane for extracting a pure stream of hydrogen gas from the reformer output. Lumped parameter governing equations are employed to simulate the many vessels used in the reforming of high molecular weight hydrocarbons. This model will serve as a testing ground for control methodology development and to predict limitations in transient response during electrical load variations typical of Naval applications.
Capabilities to design, fabricate and test new armor concepts are offered. Recent advances being made include lightweight armor where one of the surfaces to be protected is in fluid contact. Examples are surface ships, submarines, small boats, buoys, tanks, oil rigs, pipelines and nuclear storage. Other advances are being made in above ground structure and vehicle protection using high deformation rate elastomers and elastomer/ceramic combinations. Patented developments also include the use of a syntactic foam to protect fixed or movable structures from ballistic impact as well as novel manufacturing processes such as a process for forming pressure cast alumina tile reinforced aluminum alloy armor. Relationships are sought with parties interested in licensing or partnering for continued development.

Support groups for people living in the shadow of suicide are beginning to grow around Australia and become more effective advocates.
Advocates in the fields of health and social support often struggle in their early years to find a solid evidence base to guide their growth and programs. In the case of suicide prevention, this can be especially difficult due to the infancy of program development.
Griffith's Australian Institute for Suicide Prevention (AISRAP) is an important resource for such groups to build a solid evidence base for campaigns or training programs.
These advocates are organisations are representing voices of "lived experience" and is similar to models of consumer advocacy which became strong in the 80s and 90s, especially around mental health.
The Brisbane-based, national organisation Roses in the Ocean was formed in 2008 following the death by suicide of Mark Edwards, a popular pilot whose sister Ms Bronwen Edwards is the organisations founder and CEO. Roses in the Ocean provides support for people living with or close to people at risk of suicide or people who have survived the suicide of a loved one.
Lead by senior lecturer and researcher, Jacinta Hawgood, AISRAP is partnering with Roses in the Ocean as consultants to assess the group's lived experience training programs each with various program objectives ultimately ensuring that the participation of those with lived experience in the suicide prevention workforce is safe and informative.
"Lived experience groups have really provided a paradigm shift in understanding suicidal behaviour and suicide prevention strategies," Ms Hawgood said.
"RITO is one of these consumer groups leading the way in terms of lived experience and they are extraordinarily active in their work. They are open to wanting to know 'what works' and how they impact the suicide prevention workforce.
"AISRAP can help develop the evidence base around the areas of Roses in the Ocean's work where there is little to no history. They can subsequently develop best practice guidelines for these programs. We can also act as a trusted advisor to many of their activities. There's a lot of 'back and forth' and value for both sides," she said.
AISRAP has signed multiple consultancy agreements to evaluate programs, undertake co-tendering opportunities, as well as becoming a key supporter in Roses in the Ocean's upcoming first ever annual Lived Experience Summit.
With Australia's unacceptable suicide rates, governments of all stripes are keen to support and engage lived experience groups, acknowledging their key role in contributing to prevention. RITO are not just content to offer advocacy, they offer training, support and mentorship for people wanting to contribute to suicide prevention.
Bronwen Edwards, founder and CEO of Roses in the Ocean concedes they and organisations like them are essentially carving their own way forward.
"We are literally building our own road as we grow. Everyone comes to us with a unique experience and story, because a lived experience of suicide is always unique," she said.
"Their lived experience could be as someone who has made a suicide attempt, or experiencing suicidal thoughts; a carer of someone experiencing suicidal crisis or a person grieving the death by suicide of a loved one.
"Most of the people with lived experience who come to us do so because they want to make a difference, they want to "do" something to save others from experiencing what they have. Other people come for support. Many of the people we work with end up offering to work closely with Roses in the Ocean as mentors or volunteers.
"Because the whole sector is new, evidence to inform quality programs can be a bit thin on the ground. This is where a partnership with AISRAP is crucial," said Ms Edwards.
The sector is highly dependent on volunteers, so the programs being developed need to be rigorous and repeatable so volunteers are able to capably support highly vulnerable people.
The partnership signals a significant knowledge and evidence transfer opportunity to an entire sector (not just Roses in the Ocean) that could be built on through AISRAP's long-term research into suicide prevention.
