Presenting the Renamed Reintroduction of Thinking-Catholic-Strategic-Center.
The conversion to the Catholic American Thinker name is now complete.
All the work is done, and there has been a significant reorganization along with the name change. So, for the benefit of readers who may be used to finding things on this site the old way, and for the benefit of new readers, this is an introduction to the various major topic sub-sections of the website. Not all of them, but the biggest and most important.
So, if you love Catholicism, if you love general Christianity, if you love Judeo-Christian morality, if you love America, if you love Western Civilization, if you love freedom, faith, family, property, etc. - or, if you hate these things - then pick your topic from among those below, and read. Each link leads to a related grouping of webpages. Every webpage contains a comment section at the bottom.
We invite your comments, dialogues, criticisms and suggestions. And your own submitted articles.
The Purpose of this grouping of links is to highlight pseudo-science topics with nothing behind them other than broad consensus, described by F. A. Hayek as Scientism.
Another example of "scientific" and supposedly "empirical" scientific evaluation of ephemeral things - subconscious minds, repressed memories - enjoying popular consensus among fools. With physical evidence, peer-review and independent verification quite impossible, it must be recognized as a mere ideology, silly superstition or false religion.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, all the big names of American journalism lied, big, bold and proud, all throughout the entire Vietnam War, and it has only gotten worse since then.
Beginning, perhaps, with the Reformation, with a mighty surge in the 1930s with the social acceptance of artificial contraception, social standards today are now so low as to make a harlot blush. Professional politicians of all Parties cooperate with Marxist-materialists in all other fields to actually suppress religion and the morality that flows from religion, not only in the public square, but everywhere, closely following the moral degradation of popular entertainment.
Establishing National and International Labor Unions was only a first step in the new Marxist project of "Community Organizing." You cannot name an emergency, an approaching calamity, an inequality, a "Gap", an unfairness or a failure in "Social Justice" that is not either invented by or co-opted by Marxist Community Organizing.
The Purpose of this grouping of links is to provide a gathering of articles exposing deception, treachery and lies directed against Constitutional America.
When knowing, purposeful violations of the Constitution, committed by elected officials sworn in their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution, aim at the end of the Constitution itself, America is in need of a redefinition of High Treason.
This group of links show articles exposing the infiltration of evil into the Church, larger Christianity, the American government, Political Parties, the larger Culture, and Western Civilization.
Most of this site describes what is wrong; these pages describes something to do about it. If we don't get rid of the extra-Constitutional entities we are over-paying for they will eventually unconstitutionally regulate us and economically strangle us to death as a nation.
Medicine, like education, like food, has no Constitutional mandate and no legitimate, legal business being addressed by federal government. Medicine, and medical insurance, are private sector businesses beyond the scope of government.
The Purpose of this grouping of links is to highlight the Marxist birth and anti-American slant of the organized labor movement, regardless of what the rank and file members think they know about it.
Born of the "Workers of the World, Unite!" line of the Communist Manifesto, labor became the first successful effort of Marxist "Community Organizing" toward class warfare and eventual revolution. The whole purpose was and is to set employees against their own employers and displace economic cooperation with animosity and strife.
There is nothing wrong with our current border law except for the fact that the government is criminally not enforcing it, as the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, insists. There is nothing wrong with our current immigration law except for the fact that the government is criminally not enforcing it, as the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, insists. By not enforcing Constitutional law, in violation of their oaths of office, our government is engaging in criminal activity. It is Treason.
The Purpose of this grouping of links is to show all "rollover" or "hover" links used site-wide. Each link is a smart-assed abbreviation for a clause or sentence. Mouse-over any link to see the unabbreviated words; click to go to the explanation page, then use your browser's BACK button to return to where you were. Hover links just save me a lot of typing. Once you've seen one, you'll know what it means to say to you the next time you encounter it in the middle of some sentence.
Definitions of all the ideological "isms" with a lot of consensus of thinking behind them, which makes them popular opinions or ideas seeking political favor.
The Purpose for this grouping of links is to highlight the three natural divisions, in philosophy, religion, morality and politics; what is proper, what is disengaged and what must be defeated.
Ben Franklin described the division of the time as the Loyalists, the Rebels and the Mug-Whumps, with their Mugs hanging over one side of the fence, and their Whumps hanging over the other. Today, we have the Constitutionalists, the anti-Constitutionalists, and the Moron Vote. And the Moron Vote is totally deceived, indoctrinated and propagandized into the anti-Constitutional ranks.

Brian P. Helmke, PhD, receives Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award
One of the greatest risks for critically ill children on a ventilator is the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The infection, caused by an accumulation of infected fluid that gets trapped between the intubation tube and the wall of the trachea, can travel deep into a child's lungs with devastating outcomes.
According to a study published in the April 2009 issue of Pediatrics , children who develop VAP remain on a ventilator twice as long; remain in the ICU longer (13 vs. 6 median ICU days), have increased care-associated costs ($308,534 vs. $252,652), and increased absolute hospital mortality (10.5 percent vs. 2.4 percent).
Brian P. Helmke, PhD, associate professor of biomedical engineering at UVA, hopes to reduce the incidence of VAP in children by using fluid propulsion technology to engineer the surface of the tube so that it mimics the natural surface of the trachea. Helmke is the recipient of a Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award for his project "Ciliated Pediatric Endotracheal Tube for Active Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia."
"The Hartwell Foundation seeks to fund early-stage transformative ideas like that proposed by Dr. Helmke. With a cutting-edge concept that addresses an important and unmet clinical need, his potential for success comes with high risk, but with a potential for substantial impact in pediatric health care," said Fred Dombrose, PhD, Foundation President.
"If we can keep fluid from pooling around the endotracheal tube by creating a fluid propulsion system, the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia will decrease," Helmke explains. "Typically the fluid is drained by suction, but this procedure is manually intensive and risks damaging the airway and its natural cilia by drying out the protective mucus."
Cilia are tail-like projections which extend from cells. In the trachea, or windpipe, the cilia line the surface of the trachea and sweep dirt and mucus from the airways. Cilia move in coordinated waves, propelling whatever they touch along the airway surface.
Helmke will use his Hartwell grant to develop artificial cilia on the outside of the endotracheal tube to act in place of the natural cilia. He plans to design micro-fabricated polymer structures, shaped as pillars or "fingers," with different configurations and materials to mimic the natural cilia's ability to move in coordinated waves.
Helmke qualified to apply for the grant because The Hartwell Foundation has again selected UVA as a Hartwell Top Ten Center of Biomedical Research, offering the University the opportunity to nominate four candidates for consideration as Hartwell Investigators. Helmke will receive $100,000 a year for three years. He is 1 of 12 Hartwell recipients nationally this year. The designation includes a $100,000 fellowship that was awarded to Chelsea Marie, PhD, in UVA's Division of Infectious Disease and International Health.
"UVA is especially proud to be a part of The Hartwell Foundation's vision," says Thomas Skalak, PhD, UVA's vice president for research. "We share the foundation's belief that risk-taking and innovation by creative individuals at the frontiers of established fields is essential to break new ground and achieve great leaps forward. This type of research is essential to help children in need."
Based in Memphis, Tenn., the primary mission of The Hartwell Foundation is to grant awards to individuals for innovative and cutting-edge biomedical applied research that could potentially benefit children. The general aim is to provide funds for early-stage research projects that have not yet qualified for funding from traditional sources. In making Individual Biomedical Research Awards, The Hartwell Foundation takes into account the nature of the proposed innovation, the extent to which translational approaches will promote rapid clinical application of the research results, the supportive role of collaboration, and the institutional commitment to provide encouragement and technical support.
"We are extremely grateful for The Hartwell Foundation's continued recognition of our biomedical engineering program and their generous support of our research approaches in children's health," says Steven DeKosky, MD, vice president and dean of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. "Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a case where we may do more harm while trying to heal. Dr. Helmke's work could lead to the breakthrough needed to avoid this medical complication and save thousands of lives each year."

SEASIDE HEIGHTS – HOPE Sheds Light is gearing up for its 4th Annual Celebration of HOPE Walk on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk on Saturday, September 9. Registration starts at 8 a.m. on the Hiering Avenue beach and costs $10, including a t-shirt.
The Toms River-based non-profit HOPE Sheds Light was founded in 2012 after Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle with substance abuse. The organization now provides resources and education to families affected by the disease of addiction, and to date, over 1,000 individuals have attended its family group meetings.
The two-mile fundraising walk continues to grow every year. Last year, over 1,200 people joined the cause. Families can use the walk to learn about resources, meet other people dealing with addiction and substance abuse, and listen to inspirational speakers. There is also a Tree of HOPE to remember those who have passed away, as well as onsite vendors and raffles.
Last year, walkers were able to create fundraising teams and it proved successful. Each team needs to have at least four members with a minimum goal of raising at least $500. The team that raises the most money for HOPE Sheds Light will be called out at the walk.
To learn more, visit HOPEShedsLight.org.

Firemen's Memorial at Forest Hills
One of the plaques from the Fireman's Memorial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firemen%27s_Memorial_(Boston)
One of the most striking monuments in Forest Hills Cemetery is the Firemen's Memorial across from the City of Roxbury's Civil War Memorial near the Walk Hill gate.
When the cemetery was not yet a decade old, in December, 1857, the City of Boston purchased a huge lot in the City of Roxbury's new municipal cemetery for the burial of comrades who fell in the line of duty or who wished to be buried there. For more than half a century it was only a burial lot amid talk of some monument, but in 1909 the delay resulted in something special.
On a lofty granite base prepared by White & Sons of Quincy was sculpted by John Wilson a larger-than-life fireman in bronze, attired for service but in a moment of contemplation. On each side of the pedestal were set bronze plaques, 3 ft. by 4 ft., depicting the life of a fireman in the spirit of a renowned set of Currier & Ives prints. Shown in vivid bas-relief were horse-powered equipment and men en route to their duty. The plaque on the rear of the statue pictures a nineteenth century pumper as it would have looked between fires in the firehouse with no horses, men, or background.
The memorial was dedicated in grand style on June 14, 1909. On that day, set aside in all the state for past firemen, the memorial was dedicated in a ceremony partially presided over by John F. Fitzgerald, grandfather of John F. Kennedy and former mayor of Boston. Nathaniel Taylor of the Boston Globe gave the speech and the unveiling was performed by two daughters of Capt. McLean of Engine 46.
The plaque at the rear of the Firemen's Memorial was stolen a year ago and recovered through a pleasant set of circumstances. A chance photograph of the plaque taken for the Historical Society last spring was given to the cemetery staff. The staff used it to publicize the loss in word and picture in fire-buff magazines. A potential buyer, who had seen the plaque at a New Hampshire flea market, happened to consult the magazine before making his purchase and notified the cemetery staff.
The flea market owner returned the plaque to its rightful place, gratis, under no obligation to do so, and told how he had obtained the piece. Investigation continues, but on Firemen's Memorial Day on June 10, as Boston firemen remembered fallen comrades, the thanksgiving was more profound than ever before.

In February through April, I went to a few lectures given by an old friend, Lawrence Weschler. He's most well known as an author, and his subjects range from art and culture to politics and poets. What ties all his conversations together is a brilliant mind, one that finds links—and convergences—in images, literature, history and art. His talks were staged at venues around L.A., including the Getty, where Weschler was a scholar in residence at the Getty Research Institute. In his daily life back East, he's the Director of the New York Institute for the Humanities.
Fortunately, some of the talks were held at Occidental College, just a short hop from my home in Eagle Rock. A small, first rate liberal arts college, Occidental invited Weschler to be an artist in residence, so he enjoyed a kind of dual residency at the Getty and Occidental during the winter of 2010. For me, it was a delight to listen to the talks, and the experience took me back to times in college—when a few professors opened doors and started my curiosity burning. My old classmate Ren (as I know him) recalled those times at U.C. Santa Cruz, too, and referred to our shared college experiences in the updated talk titled "Vermeer in Bosnia".
But the lecture topic that stayed with me was titled "All Things Solid"—about books, reading and the printed page. Appropriately enough, the lecture was held in the Occidental Library, and Weschler (knowing full well that he was speaking to the Digital Generation on a college campus) shared his love of books. He noted the physicality, the tactility of books—the turning of the page. He extolled a book's characteristics, in opposition to the internet: a book has permanence and physicality, a book has a spine and is vertebrate, while the internet is amorphous. An author wants you to read things in an order, by chapter, while the internet seems to encourage a kind of wandering from place to place (yes, even here, in this blog).
I think a lot about books, libraries and research these days. I'm one of several essayists working on a project that will be published in January of 2012. Our task is to shed new light on the ceramic sculpture made by John Mason, Ken Price and Peter Voulkos during 1956 to 1968. It's a subject in need of more attention, and a something that just can't be found on the internet—as it happened 50 years ago. In doing my research, I've found all the best sources to be…books and catalogs. I'm now living with them all, and walking between them, as they are stacked all over my living room floor. In praise of all things solid, and tactile, indeed!

No more iOS 14 updates Apple forces to upgrade to iOS 15
When switching from iOS 14 to iOS 15 last year, Apple gave its customers the option of continuing to use the old operating system and still receiving security updates. Apparently that's over now.
Apple is now making iOS 15 mandatory. So far, for the first time, users have had the choice of updating their iPhone to the latest version or sticking with the previous version. Apple continued to deliver security updates.
Until recently, an update to version 14.8.1 was available for iOS 14 users to download. That has now disappeared, as the magazine "9to5Mac" reports. Users now only have the option of updating to the new version 15.2.1. That in itself is not a problem. The version offers many new functions and works stably.
In previous years, cautious users fearing bugs and uncustomized apps couldn't install the new version either. However, they no longer received security updates. This situation applies to all iOS 14 users again with immediate effect
Apple had already declared in the autumn that the parallel supply of updates for iOS 15 and iOS 14 would only apply for a transitional period. After all, the new option should only give customers more time – for example until the apps that are important for them have been adapted to iOS 15 or the worst errors have been corrected. A permanent stay on iOS 14 was never intended with this new option.
However, it was not clear how long Apple would maintain the double structures. The turnaround could also have something to do with the fact that apparently fewer users have switched to the current operating system than in previous years at this point in time: As Apple reports, only 63 percent of all Apple users are currently using iOS 15, and 30 percent are still using it iOS 14, seven percent older versions.
However, these numbers can be incorrect, since devices that can no longer update to iOS 14 or iOS 15 are also counted here. If you only look at the models from the past four years – here everyone has the opportunity to use the latest operating system – the number of non-updaters is still high: 26 percent still use iOS 14 and even two percent use older versions.

Home International Iraq forces launch new push on IS in west Mosul
Iraq forces launch new push on IS in west Mosul
Mosul: Iraqi forces thrust into west Mosul from the north today, opening a new front in the more than six-month-old offensive to dislodge the Islamic State group from the country's second city.
The assault is aimed at sealing the siege of the Old City, where die-hard jihadists holding huge numbers of civilians hostage are preparing for a bloody last stand.
Forces from the army, the interior ministry and the police "began breaching the western side from the north," the Joint Operations Command (JOC) coordinating the war against IS said in a statement.
"Now your sons are fighting and striking the enemy's defences… They rejoice in victory or martyrdom for the sake of liberating the rest of the city of Mosul from Daesh (IS) terrorists," it said.
The JOC said the targets of the latest push were northwestern neighbourhoods on the edges of Mosul called Musharifah, Kanisah and Al-Haramat.
The federal police issued a statement confirming the new operation, which comes after a relative lull in fighting around the Old City where most remaining jihadists are believed to be holed up.
It said Iraqi forces had already captured a small outlying village called Hsunah and a nearby gas factory.
Today's operation opens a new front in the effort to wrest back west Mosul from IS which started in mid-February and saw thousands of Iraqi forces retake most southern and western neighbourhoods.
An advance from the north will eventually leave the jihadists completely trapped in the narrow streets of the Old City, albeit with a large civilian population they have been using as human shields.
The United Nations said up to 400,000 people might be trapped in the densely populated Old City, which lies just west of the Tigris River that divides Mosul.
The Iraqi immigration ministry said this week that the number of people who were displaced since the start of the offensive on Mosul on October 17 had topped 600,000.
The vast majority of them fled homes on the west side of the Tigris, where the fighting has been more intense than in east Mosul, which was declared retaken by the government in January.
Of the more than 120,000 people displaced from east Mosul, the ministry said only 42,000 were still in camps.
The recapture of Mosul by the Iraqi security forces would deal a death blow to the "caliphate" IS proclaimed over large parts of Syria and Iraq nearly three years ago.
It would represent a major symbolic setback for the group whose unprecedented experiment in jihadist statehood was heralded by the conquest of Mosul in June 2014.
The northern city is where Iraq-born IS supremo Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi – who has urged his men to defend Mosul to the death – made his only public appearance in July that year.
According to the authorities, IS now controls less than seven percent of Iraq, down from more than a third of the national territory in 2014.
The jihadists have in recent days carried out diversionary attacks against security forces from their desert hideouts in the western province of Anbar.
At least 26 members of the army, police, tribal forces and border guard died in the attacks but the jihadists' "state" has looked doomed for months.
Observers have warned that, with other anti-IS forces also pressing a major offensive on their last major Syrian bastion of Raqa, the jihadists could increasingly revert to guerrilla tactics and bombings of civilian targets.

The Lester's
The name Lester is one of the most prominent names of merchant families & entrepreneurs in Trinity in the 18th & 19th Century. This family would have hired the best of the best for building their ships. During their time in Trinity, the Lester's owned over 60 ships which they would have used for their firms in places such as Trinity, Bonavista and Greenspond, and began to include voyages to the spring seal hunt as part of their year round activities.
Most of the vessels owned by the Lester's would have been in the 100 to 200 ton class, and were built by the firm in Trinity. In the 1750s, Lester's operated 4-5 ships but they added new vessels to their fleet year by year and by the early 1770s, the firm was annually fitting out 10-12 vessels large enough to making trans-Atlantic voyages.
In this section you will read a biographical profile of the Lester family. You will also be able to view paintings of Lester's ships and Premises in Trinity as well as the blue prints for the Royal Navy Sloops which were built in Trinity.

Q: Can not change state value before submitting in reactjs I am using one of react phone input library and getting the value of phone number is in "+9901231231234" format . I want only last ten value is in integer form. So i am converting them in number.
if (this.validator.allValid()) {

    const phnNo = this.state.phone // +9901231231234
    if(phnNo.length>10){
      var lastTen = phnNo.substr(phnNo.length - 10);
    const  subphone = Number(lastTen) //1231231234

      this.setState({ phone: subphone }) // Now I want to set the this.state.phone =  1231231234
      alert(this.state.phone)  // +9901231231234
    }
  } else {
    this.validator.showMessages();

    // rerender to show messages for the first time
    // you can use the autoForceUpdate option to do this automatically`
    this.forceUpdate();
  }

But I can not change the current state value with the new value i am generating.Thank you.

A: The setState function will not update your values synchronously, your state will not be changed right away. The second parameter of it allows you to give a callback function triggering when the state has been mutated :
  this.setState({ phone: subphone }, () => { alert(this.state.phone) //1231231234 })

Sir Richard Colt Hoare (9. prosince 1758 – 19. května 1838) byl anglický cestovatel, archeolog, spisovatel a umělec. Je jednou z prvních osobností podrobně se zabývajících výzkumem historie Wiltshiru, svého rodného kraje.

Život
Byl potomkem Richarda Hoare, zakladatele rodinné banky C. Hoare & Co. V mládí navštěvoval školy ve Wandsworthu a Greenfordu, vzdělání v klasických vědách se mu dostalo od reverenda Josepha Eyre.
V roce 1785 zdědil po svém dědovi panství Stourhead, což mu umožnilo věnovat se archeologické činnosti, pro kterou projevil sklony již dříve.

Roku 1783 se oženil ale již za dva roky ztratil po porodu manželku i druhého syna. Po jejich smrti se se vydal na cesty po Francii, Itálii a Švýcarsku. V roce 1788 zdědil titul baronet a další rok se opět vydal na cestu po kontinentální Evropě, kterou později popsal v knihách Recollections Abroad (1815) a A Classical Tour through Italy and Sicily (1819). Během těchto cest pořizoval skici jím navštívených míst. Poté cestoval po Walesu a v souvislosti s těmito cestami přeložil dvě díla o Walesu (Itinerarium Cambriae a Descriptio Cambriae) středověkého kronikáře Geralda z Walesu, doplnil je svými poznámkami a životopisem autora. Dílo bylo vydáno v roce 1804 a revidováno Thomasem Wrightem roku 1863. Další cestopis, tentokráte z cesty po Irsku podniknuté roku 1805, vydal v roce 1807. Z navštívených míst opět pořizoval vlastnoruční skici a zachytil tak mnoho pravěkých památek, zejména megalitických staveb a mohyl.

V roce 1792 se stal čelem královské společnosti a na rok 1805 byl jmenován Šerifem Wiltshirským. Sir Richard Hoare zemřel na svém panství Stourhead v roce 1838. Jeho mauzoleum se nachází v kostele sv. Petra ve Stourton ve Wiltshire.

Archeologická činnost
Roku 1803 se Richard Hoare seznámil s obchodníkem a archeologem Williamem Cunningtonem a rozhodl se financovat jeho na svou dobu velmi kvalitní archeologickou práci. Z obou se brzy stali stálí partneři. Své úsilí věnovali výzkumu mohylníků ve Wiltshire a z jejich výzkumů byla za přispění kresliče a měřiče Phillipa Crockera pořízena podrobná dokumentace.
Společně vykopali 379 mohyl zejména z doby bronzové a prováděli výkopy mimo jiné ve Stonehenge v okolí padlého trilitu, kde zjistili, že byl původně vztyčený. V době před nástupem třídobé periodizace však byly Hoarovy pokusy o chronologické zařazení mohyl málo úspěšné. Výsledky archeologických výzkumů, stojících zejména na Cuningtonových výkopech, ale i Hoarových povrchových pozorováních, popisech a teoretických úvahách, shrnul v knize Starodávné dějiny Wiltshiru (The Ancient History of Wiltshire) (1810). Nevýznamnějším jeho dílem je rozsáhlá publikace archeologických výzkumů Starodávné dějiny severního a jižního Wiltshiru (Ancient History of North and South Wiltshire) vyšlá v letech 1812-1819.

Renault announced acquisition of land at M-3 Industrial City in Special Economic Zone Faisalabad in June last year with the expected plant capacity of 50,000 units per annum.
ISLAMABAD: Several Southeast Asian companies have started to roll out their vehicles, but slow pace of European manufacturers indicates their lacklustre interest in the Pakistani market.
The two European brands that had expressed interest to enter the Pakistani market under Auto Policy 2016-21 were Volkswagen AG of Germany and Renault of France. However, none of them have made any significant progress in this regard.
"Renault has acquired land in Faisalabad but there has been no progress to establish assembly plant, while Volkswagen still has to get the possession of land in Karachi as stated by their local partner," said an official of the Ministry of Industries and Production (MoIP).
Under the policy, there are two categories for entrants; first for 'greenfield investments' relating to the installation of new automotive assembly and manufacturing facilities and the other for 'brownfield investment' to revive an existing assembly or manufacturing plant that was non-operational by July 1, 2013.
Ghandhara Nissan - that used to make Nissan Sunny car in Pakistan - is set to launch 'Nissan Crossover' globally in 2020 with the model expected to be introduced at local assembly line in 2020.
Daehan Dewan Motor Company is also in the process of reviving its small commercial truck 'Shehzore' and one vehicle in SUV category with SsangYong Motor Company (SYMC) of Korea.
SYMC has submitted an aggressive plan to MoIP that their SUVs will roll out in 2019 but there were certain technical hitches with Shehzore.
Meanwhile, United Motors - the country's second largest bike manufacturer - has launched its first car in Pakistan under its greenfield investment. Similarly, Regal Automobile Industries has established assembly plant in Lahore in collaboration with DSFK Motors of China and it is rolling out small commercial trucks.
KIA Lucky Motors has also launched Grand Carnival and K2700 pickup trucks and their SUV assembling is expected from July this year. Master Motors, in joint venture with Chinese automaker Changan, has a plant at Port Qasim near completion with the company already having launched its jeep and SUV, while cars and heavy trucks are set to be online by June this year.
Another Chinese auto company Foton JW Auto Park too is rolling out LCVs from its plant in Lahore. Hyundai Nishat Motors' plant in Faisalabad is close to completion and its locally assembled cars are expected to be available by January 2020. Sazgar Engineering Works is also set to launch cars, jeeps and SUVs by end of 2019.
Khalid Mushtaq Motors too is scheduled to roll out their Chinese model of small commercial trucks (by the end of this year.
The total number of companies in Category A has increased to 14 but Renault, Pak China Motors, Topsun Motors & Engineering Services and Khalid & Khalid Holding are falling behind their schedule.
Why foreign investors backing out or going slow?
Back in the early nineteen sixties, the Germans under the allied occupation wanted to establish the Mercedes Benz as well as the Krupp Steel plants in Karachi. Under pressure of the US government of the day, both were asked to quietly withdraw their schemes for this country and shift their projects to Iran which was under the rule of Raza Shah Pehalvi at that time. Sixty years later the Europeans are still undecided about going ahead with any projects which would be beneficial to this country. Let them sleep over the proposals for as long as they wish, those who take advantage of a chance when it comes their way are sure to benefit from the same while those who sleep are the losers. Opportunity knocks only once in a life time.
Few days ago I read a report in Dawn that foreign investors are lining up to invest in Pakistan and in the comments section people were saying that they are seeing long lines in front of every Pakistani embassy abroad of people seeking a Pakistani Visa?
Renault and Volkswagen may be slow in coming, but obviously a lot of others are very active. In any case, I think these European companies will have great difficulty in competing with the Japanese, Chinese and South Korean companies in Pakistan, and the market is getting saturated.
@Vikas, secret behind all the euphoria is high returns of existing multinationals in PK and size of economy is actualy almost twice than whats on record, which is the cause behind high returns for investments in PK. govt is trying to get parallel economy on books with tax regularisation bt obiously it takes time.


Federal auto safety regulations fill nearly 900 pages with standards that determine everything from rear-view mirror and steering wheel placement to the shape of vehicles and the exact placement of seats. Many of the rules don't make sense in the coming era of self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles don't need rear-view mirrors, or (eventually) steering wheels. Their ideal physical form is still a work in progress.
But an even bigger rethink is in order. As motor vehicles become essentially computers on wheels, software, not hardware, will soon be paramount for safety. This will make most government regulation unnecessary, and, to the extent that it slows innovation, could even cost lives on the highway.
One difference between self-driving cars and traditional automobiles is that companies will have every incentive to fix safety problems immediately. With today's cars, that hasn't always been the case. Templeton cites General Motors' 2014 recall of 800,000 cars with faulty ignition switches. The company knew about the safety flaw over a decade prior, but didn't act on the information because recalls are so costly. The companies actions had dire consequences: One-hundred-and-twenty-four deaths were linked to the ignition defect.
Another difference is that when hardware was all that mattered for safety, regulators could inspect a car and determine if it met safety standards. With software, scrutiny of this sort may be impossible because the leading self-driving car companies (including Waymo and Tesla) are developing their systems through a process called machine learning that "doesn't mesh in with traditional methods of regulation," Templeton says.
Machine learning is developed organically, so humans have limited understanding of how the system actually works. And that makes governments nervous. Regulations passed by the European Union last year ban so-called unknowable artificial intelligence. Templeton fears that our desire to understand and control the underlying system could lead regulators to prohibit the use of machine learning technologies.
"That these need to be perfect before we can allow them on the road is a mindset that has affected a lot of urban planners and…the pro-regulation set," says Marc Scribner, a senior fellow at the free-market think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Since the alternative to allowing imperfect self-driving cars on the highways is the status quo—100 Americans die every day in automobile crashes—perfection shouldn't be the standard.


Adding to its already robust line up of El Primero chronographs, Zenith has announced a new addition to the range – the El Primero Sport. This new chronograph, set in a 45 mm stainless-steel case, offers another option to clients in the market for a simpler, larger watch without additional complications. Monochromatic chronograph registers, various strap choices, and two dial options complete the latest offering from this 150-year-old manufacture.
Adding to its already robust line up of El Primero chronographs, Zenith has announced a new addition to the range – the El Primero Sport. This new chronograph, set in a stainless-steel case, offers another option to clients in the market for a simpler, larger watch without additional complications. Monochromatic chronograph registers, various strap choices, and two dial options complete the latest offering from this 150-year-old manufacture.
At 45 mm in diameter (by 14 mm in thickness), the new Zenith El Primero Sport joins the likes of the Stratos Spindrift in being one of the larger offerings in the El Primero range. The case is similarly styled to other El Primero watches, with beefy sloped lugs extending from a simple round case. All variants feature the same stainless-steel case with polished bezel, which is complemented by brushed and polished finishing on the lugs.
There are two dial options for the El Primero Sport: "lamé" silver-toned and slate grey, each with a vertically-brushed finish. The 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph registers, along with a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, all match the main dial color but are recessed. Additionally, the use of a circular brushed finish and contrasting tones for the Arabic numerals and measurment scales offer enough distinction from the rest of the dial.
The El Primero Sport is also available on a stainless-steel bracelet with brushed center links and polished end links.
There's a lot happening on the remainder of the dial that places this model quite firmly in the realm of a sport chronograph. A tachymeter scale is applied to the outermost portion, right around a minutes-and-chronograph seconds track, which rests on a silver-finished ring on both dial options. Twelve rhodium-finished, faceted hour markers are applied around this ring, with a beveled tip that extends into the main portion of the dial. These markers are inlaid with black-hued luminous material on both models.
Like the hour indexes, the faceted, blunt-arrow-shaped hour and minute hands have luminous material applied to their surfaces. The aforementioned chronograph registers sit in the lower half of the dial, each intersecting one another in a relatively unobtrusive way that maintains legibility. On both variants, there are two instances of red: one on the dial, in the form of the "36,000 VpH" inscription beneath the Zenith logo, and another, bolder application in the form of the chronograph seconds hand with an open-worked star symbol at one end. These details lend an even sportier quality to the new El Primero Sport, which is otherwise more subdued – compared to its line mates – due to the lack of tri-color sub-dials.
Through a sapphire crystal in the back, you can observe Zenith's trademark in-house El Primero movement (more specifically, 400 B) beating away at 36,000 VpH, allowing the chronograph to measure all the way down to 1/10th of a second. The self-winding movement offers a minimum 50-hour power reserve, generated by an oscillating weight finished with Côtes de Genève.
Following Zenith's last addition to the El Primero line – two elegant lacquer-dial chronographs with traditional details – the new El Primero Sport adds even greater diversity to the range of watches, without an unfortunate exercise in thematic branding. The new models are water resistant to 20 ATM and will retail for $11,000 on either the alligator or black rubber strap seen above, and $11,600 on a stainless-steel bracelet.

Thread: A series of Trance IDs from 1997-2005
trancer1994
Thanked 0x in 0 Posts
I've been trying to identify these 5 fantastic, unknown trance and hard trance tunes for many, many years now without much luck.
Some of these trance IDs could be b-sides which have long been forgotten which have featured on obscure record labels or possibly even white labels that may have never have gotten signed. All the tunes were played out by SCOTT BOND who sadly does not remember the tune names. Please take a listen as there are some fantastic unknowns in here.
Trying to properly identify this oldskool vocal trance track played by Scott Bond in August 1997 at Gatecrasher. After doing a lot of research, I discovered that this unknown tune was called "Aurora - Just Can't Stop". Chris Fortier (Fade) was actually commissioned by Manifesto to do a remix of it Aurora - Just Can't Stop (Fades Loving You Vocal Mixes). They were paid but the project was shut down. He believes that it had something to do with the Space Brothers and the only person who can shed light on this unknown will most likely be Luke Neville and Ricky Simmonds who don't respond to messages. This may well be because there already was another Aurora on Positiva (Additive) and they could have scrapped the name and the tune concentrating on their Space Brothers alias. At present, this track is still a mystery with most of the detective work undertaken!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy0sh6k8CEs (circa 1997)
02) This unknown was given to Scott on a gold cd-r from what he thinks could have been on NEO as Scott seems to recall that it also had Steve Morley - Reincarnations on it. He unfortunately lost the CD - have 3 video clips of it, and it is the first track of the first video clip. As far as a specific year for this production, it could be anytime really, sounds quite European in production, possibly Spanish or Dutch. Many claim to have heard it and say it's a remake of Jen - Loops & Tings and even though it sounds a little similar, I'm pretty certain that it's not. Also had suggestions that it has a Tidy/Resonate vibe to it or could be produced by Pulser, Riley & Durrant etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSXe6oelX-8 (unknown year 1999 possibly)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8mnFDoGAFc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q1lbRKt2LU
03) This clip was recorded at Gatecrasher on Boxing day (26th Dec 2002). I've checked with Scott and he doesn't know the name of the tune. (Note from me: the male vocal says "electronic future".). Does sound a little in style to M.I.K.E (Push), however, a friend contacted Push and it's not his tune. It has been suggested it is a remix of Mauro Picoto - Back To Cali, but Mauro Picoto has been asked about this and he says he doesn't know this particular tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9uuKnamJJ8 (circa 2002-2003)
04) A wonderful, orchestral tune from 2004, taken from The Dome, Tel Aviv on 27th February 2004. I've contacted a whole bunch of people to see if it's their tune. The people who've confirmed it's not so far are Adam White, Geert Huininkk, Bonzai Records (it is not anyone on that label), Pascal Van Eijk (DJ Precision), Vadim Zhukov, Robert Nixon, Jezper Söderlund (Airbase), Hakanan Pres. Annunaki and Bjorn Akessen as well as a lot of others. We think this track is a Dutch production and that it is unreleased, and that it was shared amongst a very exclusive internal group of people called TGX (Trance Galaxy), and that it never went outside their circle. Unfortunately they disbanded years ago and tracking any of them down now, almost 10 years on, will be very very very hard now, since they all have lives of their own now outside TGX. Anyone have anymore ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3VqgsQukQQ (circa 2003-2004)
05) This was played by Scott Bond @ Movement in Finland and has the vocal sample "Let There Be House" from "Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It". Unfortunately Scott Bond doesn't know and it's the same sample used in other Trance tracks like Cherrymoon Trax - Let There Be House.
Pretty certain that it could be a bootleg. It could have a variety of different bootleg names such as "Can You Feel It", "Let There Be House", "Jack's House", "In The Beginning", "And House Music was Born", "Our House", "Our House Music", "Jack Had A Groove" etc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8qxF8oLmqg (circa 2005)
If you can help with any of these wonderful unknown classic trance and hard trance tunes, I'd be ever so thankful. Not had much luck using the traditional channels. I am so greatly appreciative of everybody's help in the community and get a lot of support so if you happen to know any of these tunes OR have an indication of what any of these could be, please let me know
Kindest Regards and many thanks for your time and listening,

French Eating ... It's Not Such a Paradox
Why Are There So Few French Vegetarians?
I recently came across an interesting thread on an international online bulletin board. French omnivores -- and the Francophiles who love them -- were musing over why there seems to be so few French vegetarians. I've often wondered the same so lingered for a few days to see what theories would surface.
One Frenchman wrote about how he was raised with the idea of balance as an ideal to be followed with all aspects of life including food. He wrote, "I think vegetarianism would be seen by many French as an extreme, to be followed only if absolutely medically necessary. We are raised to believe that variety and balance are the healthiest way to go."
Another poster to the thread, an American presumably, wrote that "Anglophone culture" is really unusual in its support of non-mainstream dietary practices when compared with other cultures. He also theorized that this acceptance can perhaps be seen as an after-effect of 19th-century Protestant social reform that opposed animal cruelty. He opined that the French view animals very differently than do Americans. He writes: "The Frenchman (or -woman) has attitudes not dissimilar to that of an agricultural worker. They have grown up seeing the carcasses of whole food animals at the market; it's just another commodity." Or perhaps it's a symptom of the widening distance between Americans and their food source? Put plainly: "The American looks at a dead pig hanging in the window and sees an adorable Disney character brutally slaughtered before its time. The Frenchman sees dinner."
My experience, based on my frequent travels to France, has led me to believe that food is such an integral part of social connection that rejecting a certain type of food could be construed as being unsociable or, Mon Dieu, un-French. What we choose to eat is a way of asserting who we are and the culture -- or subculture -- with which we identify.
Hi - I've just stumbled on your blog and love it! Had to comment on this post in particular, because I'm a vegetarian American (living in the U.S.) who works for a global company based in France. My French counterparts are not just put off by my food choices, but seem nearly offended by it. Differently, somehow, than the every-day American people who just call it "weird" or "something I could never do." I've typically chalked this up to the same idea you mention -- that the French are very much a culture raised on food as a community builder and social event. To not eat what everyone else does is to abandon that community, like refusing to eat at the table and instead retreating to a corner to eat alone. It tears the social fabric. I don't begrudge them for it, but I sure enjoy enlightening them! :)
Good for people to know.


I've been teching languages for more than 10 years. Spanish, English and Hungarian for foreigners. Lots of students has taken succesful exams or leart the language before start working abroad.
If you would like to learn this beautiful but not easy language just start a course with me and I let you know all about it!

Home > Developments>Marine Economy
Shandong focuses on marine ranch development
Shandong, a marine economic powerhouse in East China, has been advancing the development of modern and intelligent marine ranches in the province.
This move is meant to facilitate the ecofriendly and sustainable development of the local fishing industry and build a stronger marine economy with cutting-edge technology and healthy marine ecosystems.
Bordered by the Bohai and Yellow seas, Shandong boasts 3,345 kilometers of coastline, accounting for one-sixth of the country's total, with its waters boasting an abundance of marine resources. The offshore waters of Shandong cover an area of 159,500 square kilometers.
Official data shows that the province is home to 44 national-level marine ranches, accounting for 40 percent of the country's total.
A marine ranch is a sea area in which fishermen set up large-scale fishery facilities and systematic management systems to exploit the natural marine and raise sea creatures such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, and algae.
Rongcheng Mountains Hongyuan is a national-level marine ranch in Weihai city.
"We can produce 120,000 tons of kelp, 2,000 tons of scallops, and 1,800 tons of abalone a year, and we earned 200 million yuan ($28.82 million) in revenue in 2019," said Wang Shuzhou, president of the Rongcheng Mountains Hongyuan Aquatic Products Co.
Wang said that his company has benefited greatly from the restoration and protection of marine ecology.
China's first intelligent ecological marine ranch began operating in Yantai this June. It makes use of cutting-edging technology such as 5G and AI to develop automatic intelligent equipment and carry out ecofriendly breeding.
Pilot projects for service trade expand
Shandong takes measures to promote foreign investment growth

What is the best interview question ever? Let me tell you a story.
In the late 90's, I took over as President and CEO of a company named CTX. A small $6M technology services company. As an outsider, I went on a bit of a listening tour and sat down with every manager in the company. When I met with our head of Human Resources and began talking about my view on the importance of company culture and some of the ideas I had around engagement and empowerment, the response was very negative. She made it very clear that my kinds of ideas would never work in this company.
All of us have to learn to challenge the status quo. How many times have you tried to roll out a change of some sort, only to hear "That will never work here" or "That's not how we do it around here"? As a leader, you have to be comfortable standing up to that attitude. Moreover, you should always be looking for opportunities to change things up, experiment, and take some risks. That's how your business will improve.
Possessing and developing certain innate strengths helps you become an effective leader. But you also need to use specific leadership practices that have been proven over time to increase your ability to lead people. Challenging the status-quo is one of those practices.
You may be wondering what happened to my subsequent conversations with the Director of HR. Turns out they were very short. She came in the day after we met and offered her resignation – I was happy to oblige.
We went on to interview twelve candidates for the job. For each candidate, I asked them if they received the Society of Human Resources (SHRM) magazine – the periodical of their profession. Each did. I then went on to say that my expectations for this position was that within two years, "they would be on the cover of the SHRM magazine with a tagline of "how to attract and retain in the high tech industry."" "Can you embrace that challenge"?
Of the twelve candidates, eleven figuratively crawled under the table – the twelfth embraced it. We hired number twelve and never looked back!

Cruise News Carnival Vista Headed to PortMiami
Carnival Vista Headed to PortMiami
Carnival Cruise Lines has signed an extended lease with PortMiami and is planning on bring their largest cruise ship to date, the Carnival Vista, to the Cruise Capital of the World in late 2016.
The lease has extended Carnival's tenure with PortMiami through 2028, with an option for an additional seven years. The lease requires Carnival to sail the Vista out of Miami for at least 24 months within the first three years of the ship's launching. The ship will sail 18 cruises to Europe beginning in May 2016 before heading to New York for a series of cruises.
In 2015, PortMiami expects nearly 1 million passengers to sail on a Carnival ship out of the port. The port is currently the cruise capital of the world with over 4.5 million passengers embarking on a cruise from Miami each year.
Carnival currently pays $36.5 million in rent and receives $9.5 million back in incentives from the county. The county will also spend up to $10 million upgrading Carnival's cruise terminals at the port.
The Carnival Vista will be the largest cruise ship ever built by Carnival Cruise Lines at 133,500 gross tons and will carry nearly 4,000 passengers.
The ship will be bringing many new features to the cruise industry. The vessel will have the first IMAX at sea as well has family stateroom that include free in-cabin babysitting.
The lido deck will have the largest waterworks at sea that will include a 455 foot long waterslide. It will also include the first cycling track at sea that will be 150 feet above the water and 800 feet long.
Caribbean itineraries for the Carnival Vista will be released in the coming months.

Miami is the busiest cruise port in the world for one reason. It is the closest port to the Caribbean and fuel costs money. None of the ports you mentioned make economic sense for the newest ships in any fleet. Sorry folks, that's just the way it is.
mark strong February 4, 2015 at 3:00 am
I'm so glad to hear the exciting news at the carnival Vista it's going to the Port of Miami I can't wait tell the ship pull into the harbor I've been working at 23 years good news is good news
Julie February 4, 2015 at 12:59 am
We need Carnival to come to Panama City Florida or more ships to leave out of Jacksonville FL. AND FOR MORE DAYS. MAYBE A 10 or 12 day cruise.
Tony February 3, 2015 at 11:53 pm
I think this stinks that Miami gets all the new ships and we get hand me downs (port of new Orleans) dream, conquest, elation, triumph, carnival needs to look at other ports for new ships to be home ported in new Orleans
Ron February 4, 2015 at 12:41 am
So what about the bay area they have a new cruise terminal more new shops come in there
Dana February 10, 2015 at 4:41 pm
Tony: I just told my friend the exact same thing!! She and her husband wants to take their first cruise; but she wants to port close to home which is Ga. I told her that most of the older ships without bells and whistles are the ones closer to Ga. New Orleans, South Carolina, Jacksonville etc. To go on Carnival's newer ships; I told her that she would have to drive to Miami or Fort Lauderdale!! I would love for them to port their newwer ships with the WOW factor out of New Orleans or even Jacksonville Fl.
cruz February 3, 2015 at 9:18 pm
I Just love it, and wish one day I can experience going on a Cruises.

Review: Josh Groban – Harmony
by Hear2Zen Magazine Nov 23, 2020
Leave a Comment on Review: Josh Groban – Harmony
Josh Groban's vocal and musical expertise are the very reasons this album should be on your shelf.
Artist: Josh Groban
Title: Harmony
Josh Groban returns in 2020 with his new album titled "Harmony". Slated for release on November 20th featuring ten covers of bucket list tracks Josh has been longing to release plus two new originals. This is studio release number nine and his first since 2018's "Bridges".
"The World We Know (Over And Over)" is the lead off track. A track covered by many of the great vocalists of our time. Josh's version bursts into a James Bond soundtrack type atmosphere early in the track before bursting into his familiar vocals. A bombastic opening that would be easily placed at the head of a live concert opening.
"Angels" Robbie Williams cover follows perfectly sequenced to give the album that one two kick we always look for in an album. As a huge fan of the original recorded by Robbie, Josh does the track more than justice with his vocal performance and pristine accompanying music tracks.
"Celebrate Me Home" has been recorded by a few major acts over the years including the original by Kenny Loggins and country music star LeAnn Rimes. This version is a worthy addition to the collection of covers and adds some sentiment give the way of the world in 2020.
"Shape of My Heart" Josh covers the 1993 Sting single here with help of Leslie Odom Jr with a stirring rendition. Delivered with its own trading of vocals and musical brilliance Josh and Leslie find the mystical logic the original did almost three decades ago.
"Your Face" is the first of the two original tracks that made the final album. An awe inspiring and uplifting song that should see heavy rotation on the airwaves. Radio friendly both on the easy listening stations and should appeal to the religious ones as well with its references to God.
"Both Sides Now" features Sara Bareilles in this beautiful rendition of the Joni Mitchell written classic. Josh and Sara's voices perfectly complement each other as they trade off faultless vocals of this highly covered track. A true highlight of the album.
"She" best known recorded by Charles Aznavour is next up. A simple yet eloquent recital of the song which charted so well decades ago across the globe.
"The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" has an all-star resume of recording artists covering it over the years. Josh gives it a taste of 2020 in all its glory here.
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a Roberta Flack classic. I came into this song thinking her version was untouchable. I left thinking this is a version that stands alongside hers as telling the story from a male perspective. Pure perfection.
"It's Now or Never" is Elvis Presley's biggest selling single of all time. Another song almost untouchable in the true essence of the word. Josh comes close through his purest vocal abilities. Elvis is on another level but Josh is a very close second through his voice!
"I Can't Make You Love Me" is the penultimate track and a tip of the hat to Bonnie Raitt classic from 1991. The piano driven track is perfectly executed here and yet another highlight of the second half of the album.
"The Fullest" rounds out the album featuring Kirk Franklin. The second original track featured in a similar vein lyrically to "Your Face" but additional backing vocals. A great ending to a very well structured album.
"Harmony" is an album flourished full of classic tracks revisited and two new ones added to Josh's ever growing catalogue of hits. It deserves far more than the glance over of many preceding counterparts. Josh Groban's vocal and musical expertise are the very reasons this album should be on your shelf.

I would love to design and print an unique letterpress invitation or announcement that matches your personality and aesthetic. All invitations are hand-set letterpress prints, involving little to no computers at all in the process. I can create anything from a simple wedding poster to a full invitation package. Let me know what you are looking for, and we will go from there!
I do not always take on wedding invitations, but I am always open to fun and interesting concepts. Due to the unique nature of most letterpress jobs, it isn't possible to have simple, straightforward pricing structure. Send me an email with what you're looking for and I will get back to you with details.


Thank you once again for your amazing involvement in Battle's Over – a Nation's Tribute on 11thNovember last year, and for playing such an important role in making sure that commemorations for the 100thAnniversary of WWI were such an enormous success. We are now seeking your participation at an important celebration in 2020.
The 8thMay 1945 was the day peace emerged after nearly six years of war, so the 75thanniversary on 8thMay 2020 represents an important milestone in our history. I am sure you will agree that we cannot let this day pass without reflecting on the enormous sacrifice, courage and determination of people from all walks of life who saw us through this dark period. Our celebration, VE Day 75, will cover the weekend of 8th– 10thMay 2020, and will be an international celebration of peace – a time to remember, reflect and pay tribute to the millions who played such a vital part in achieving it.
This includes the Armed Forces personnel from many countries who gave their lives, and those who returned home injured in body and mind; the hard-working women and men who kept the factories, mines, shipyards and farms operating throughout the years of turmoil; the ARP wardens, police officers, doctors, nurses, firemen, local defence volunteers and many others who put their lives on hold to safeguard the home front.
The charity for VE Day 75is SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity, which also supports the Merchant Navy.
Registration for all participants will be solely through the VE Day 75 website – www.veday75.org. As well as adding your details you will also be able to download the 'Cry for Peace Around the World', along with other important documents, including a commemorative certificate, and view messages of support from individuals and organisations.
3pm is the time Winston Churchill officially announced the end of WW2 from the Cabinet Office at 10 Downing Street, London.
Pipers from around the world will open VE Day 75by playing Battle's O'er and VE 75 Years at 3pm local time in the country they are in, paying tribute to the millions who gave so much to earn our freedom today. Battle's O'er is the traditional tune played by pipers at the end of a battle, and VE 75 Years has been specially written for this occasion by Pipe Major Roger Bayes of the City of Norwich Pipe Band.
Battle's O'er will be played by pipers from the top of the four highest Peaks in the UK – Ben Nevis, Scotland; Scafell Pike, England; Mount Snowdon, Wales, and Slieve Donnard, Northern Ireland – and also at the five furthest points in the UK. This has never been undertaken before.
We are encouraging pipers working that day to pause at 3pm to play the tune in their workplace. It will provide pipers throughout the world the opportunity to participate without having to take time off work. We are already aware that a nurse will be playing the pipes on her hospital ward, and that others will be playing at a railway company, in a field and outside a bakery.
To coincide with the playing of Battle's O'er thousands of pubs throughout the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man will encourage customers to raise a glass at 3pm and take part in The Nation's Toast to the Heroes of WW2.
Bells in churches and cathedrals will ring out at 7pm in a collective celebration of VE Day 75. The sound of church bells is deeply rooted in British culture. They provide the grand soundtrack to our historic moments, calling us to wake, to pray, to work, to arms, to feast, to celebrate and, in times of crisis, to come together. This aspect of VE Day 75 could not be more appropriate, ringing out around the world to celebrate the peace we share today. We do hope that you will take part and register your involvement at www.veday75.orgfrom 1stMay 2019.
Parties and celebrations will take place in pubs, clubs and hotels, on town and village greens and in our streets, bringing the communities of the nation together in common friendship. Those town and cities twinned with others around the world will be encouraged invite them to join in this joyous occasion. We know that many of those taking part will be organising firework displays over the weekend too.
Services will take place in cathedrals and churches throughout the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man to celebrate the peace we share today and remember those who lost their lives or returned home dreadfully wounded. The services will also recognise the sacrifices of those who kept the nation fed and the factories, mines and hospitals working during the most challenging of times.Churches wishing to take part should register their involvement at www.veday75.orgfrom 1stMay 2019.
Those planning services will be encouraged to ask a representative from their local community to read out the Tribute to the Millions, which can be downloaded at www.veday75.org, and involve a local bugler or trumpeter toplay the Last Post and Reveille. Their participation can also be registered on the website.
I hope you will be able to join us in the international celebration of this important anniversary. Remember, you will be able to register your involvement on the VE day 75 website – www.veday75.org.

Q: Blade directive not working I'm using Laravel 5.6 and trying to define a blade directive (in the boot() method of the service provider):
Blade::directive('hello', function () {
        return "Hello, World!";
});

But in my views, when i write @hello it shows @hello instead of "hello world" as it should.
I've done artisan view:clear (and cache:clear too) but still no result.

A: You have to do the following
Include this lines
use App\TraitsFolder\BladeDirectives;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

and in your AppServiceProvider class, add this
use BladeDirectives;
If your laravel server is running, stop it and do the following
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

And then start the server again.

A: I use Laravel 5.5 and it works for me.
Inside boot() function on AppServiceProvider.php file.
public function boot()
    {
        \Blade::directive('hello', function ($expression) {
            return "<?php echo 'Hello ' . {$expression}; ?>";
        });
    }

And inside view
@hello('Unai')

Result
Hello Unai

A: I believe you still need to call it. Untested, but try:
<div>
    @hello()
</div>

A: Your expression is ok and @hello on the view is ok too.
Are you using Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade ?
