Smith Anderson Advises the First North Carolina Startup to Launch a Title III Regulation Crowdfunding Campaign
Smith Anderson congratulates client ITFT, an automotive technology startup, as the first North Carolina company to launch an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding. ITFT announced today a public campaign via a crowdfunding portal operated by StartEngine Capital, LLC (StartEngine) that aims to raise development funds for the company's signature product, the Safe Driving System, that will finance product development and prototype testing, as well as a comprehensive pilot program.
Representing ITFT since October 2016, Smith Anderson attorney Alex Bowling has guided ITFT through the Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms comprising Regulation Crowdfunding. Effective in May 2016, more than four years after the passage of the JOBS Act, Regulation Crowdfunding allows companies to conduct offerings of up to $1 million from retail investors through an online intermediary such as StartEngine. Companies are allowed to raise capital under Regulation Crowdfunding from all investors, not just "accredited investors" as required under traditional private placement offerings.
"ITFT is the first North Carolina company to launch an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding," Alex says. "As the first firm to have the opportunity to work on such a deal in this State, we are very excited to help ITFT tap into the 'crowd' to raise the capital it needs to achieve its business objectives by issuing securities under Title III of the JOBS Act and Regulation Crowdfunding."

Birmingham Arms & Cycle Co.
Interior of the Birmingham Arms & Cycle Co.
The Birmingham Arms & Cycle Co. or Birmingham Arms and Hardware was a sporting goods store and gun dealer which opened in 1887 in a 25'x100' two-story brick building at 1904 2nd Avenue North. The founder was Asheville, North Carolina-native C. J. Chunn, who had previously operated a gun shop in Baltimore, Maryland.
The business was incorporated as the Birmingham Arms Company in 1889 and reincorporated on January 11, 1895, at which time Robert Baugh was co-owner and general manager. It was located at 2023 2nd Avenue North in the 1890s, 2524 7th Avenue North in 1895, 1916 2nd Avenue North in the early 1900s, 1919 3rd Avenue North in 1914, at 2017 3rd Avenue North in the 1920s, with a second location at 103 20th Street North in 1925.
In addition to athletic goods, guns, hunting and fishing supplies and bicycles, the shop sold fireworks, watches, razors and hammocks. The store was also involved in organizing shows for the Birmingham Kennel Club. Ernest Loosley headed the company's bicycle repair shop in the 1890s.
In the 1920s the store was a licensed retailer for A. J. Reach & Co., Stall & Dean, and A. G. Spalding & Bros. equipment.
In 1925 the business was reincorporated as the Birmingham Arms & Hardware Company with J. E. Lewis, T. A. Lappage, and T. B. Marshall as executives. Later that year it was acquired by Beach Chenoweth, who continued to operate it as a division of his B. M. Chenoweth Co.

Whiteboards have become very popular and can be found in offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, and even kitchens. These boards are similar to chalkboards in that they give you a vertical surface on which to write. They even come in different sizes so you can find one that's just perfect for your surroundings.
Emoticons lighten up the mood of our online conversations. They also help to clarify the meaning behind our words, making it easy to be clearly understood in e-mails, on message boards or blog posts.
One of my favorite hobbies is to build custom longboards in unique shapes and designs. Having built many boards, I sometimes tend to put new projects off, starting just a few days before the deadline. Once, doing such resulted in disaster.

"Meet Your Maker" Vendor Series
Meet Your Maker: Victrola
Lauren Cram is the designer behind VICTROLA, a clothing line for "the girl that's fearless, confident, and doesn't give a second thought to what anyone else thinks."
1| How do you describe your work to people who don't know what you do?
My clothes are pure combination of pure girlishness with an edge. And, I am a sequin whore.
2| Why do you make/design things?
I really enjoy the design process from beginning to end. I get a great sense of accomplishment over my designs. Every.Single. Time. It's just part of who I am. I grew up as a competitive dancer, so the creative process has been instilled in me since I was like, two. No, seriously….
3| What do you love about your job?
I love that I have the opportunity to work for myself. It's a blessing and a curse sometimes, but I can't imagine doing anything else. I love that I get to call all of the shots. I like having my hands on all aspects- design, production, photo shoots, all of it. Seeing my business grow slowly but surely is a really great feeling.
4| Was being a working artist always your plan or was there an "aha" moment?
I think that I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I've never really enjoyed working for the M-A-N. I've been there, done that and it just wasn't for me. Us creative folks don't strive in 9-5 gigs. It just doesn't work.
Lauren's studio space.
5| How do you work, and where?
LOL. By the seat of my pants, I'm afraid. I'm trying to master the art of designing a season ahead, but I have yet to get that far. It would mean giving up a season to do so and that frightens me. I work out of my house and have a pretty great space in my basement that's about to be gutted and made more fab.
6| If you could swap lives with another artist and live as them without anyone knowing that you were really you and not the other person, who would that person be?
That's an incredibly difficult question, but I think I would have to go with Isabel Toledo. Her drawing aesthetic is something that has inspired me from Day One and her clothing collections are such an ode to that. Plus, she seems like a cool broad. So, why not?
7| What makes a handmade object valuable?
All of the blood, sweat, and tears put into it. In this day and age where everything is made from China, of plastic, and falls apart within hours, it's refreshing to have pieces that are truly handmade. People put their heart and soul into their creations, working meticulously to make something of quality and meaning.
8| Using that definition, what's the most valuable object you own?
Probably my mustard yellow velvet tufted sofa. For years, I searched high and low for one, but they were either too expensive and cheap looking or just not exactly what I wanted. My neighbor volunteered to make me one and it's fantastic. I always think about how if there was ever a fire, how I could get it out in time because it's heavy. And, gorgeous.
9| In your collection "Strangeness and Charm" you have some stunning pieces made from hand dyed silk. Tell us about the silk dying process. How do you get the splattered look?
It's definitely a process for sure! I start with a simple white silk that serves as a blank canvas then dye the base color once, twice, three times, maybe more depending on the desired color that I'm trying to achieve. Once I get the color the way I want it, I hang the silk out in its entirely, serving as a gigantic canvas. I like to keep the second process as organic as possible because it makes the garment, once constructed, individual in its own right. I splatter the dye in a Pollock kind of way. It make seem like there's no rhyme or reason to it, but there is.
10| What is the best piece of fashion advice that you follow?
To follow trends, but interpret them in your own way. Just be an individual and yourself. It's so cheesy, but also the absolute truth.
11| What is the most exciting thing about fashion?
What I enjoy most is watching the development of new design techniques and silhouettes transpire. Trend forecasting is one of my favorite things about being a designer. It's a personal victory when you predict things before they start gaining mass attention. I'm like that with everything, though. Particularly music. I love finding artists before they make it big. First Aid Kit is a prime example.
12| Your Lilac Moto Jacket is amazing. What a stunning juxtaposition of "male" and "female" aesthetics! What was your inspiration for this?
That jacket is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever made. I wanted to create something that was hard, but soft. Rock and Roll with a bit of an ethereal undertone. In regards to construction, I'm a sucker for difficult fabrics. I love the challenge of working with fabrics that are notorious a**holes. With the lilac Moto, I used imported leather from London paired with silk organza. Incorporated French and Bound Seams. I love that piece with all of my heart and actually made a more affordable version for all of my boutiques using fleece and vegan leather. Also, a hit.
13| Tell us one true thing about yourself that people don't believe when you tell them.
I'm actually extremely shy. I just put on a really good front.
14| Give us three more non-crafting-related details about you or your life.
-Fun facts of me…ha. Well, I'm terrified of bees. And, wasps. And, hornets. Essentially, anything that flies and has a stinger. I can't handle it. If there's one five feet away from me, I still run away like a bat out of hell.
-I was once a semi-professional cheerleader (even though I hate that word because we were clearly dancers and did ZERO cheering).
-When Florence + The Machine first came on the scene, she did a concert in Saint Louis and we decided to stalk her outside after the show was over to maybe get a glimpse of her. Well, we met her. She complimented my outfit and said, "I like your style". I then floated away on a cloud for several days.

in the triune God and sustainer of life. Creator; resurrected Christ, the sole Head of the church; and the Holy Spirit, who guides and brings about the creative and redemptive work of God in the world and to His deeds we testify.
that God called the worlds into being, created humanity in a like own image, and set before humanity the ways of life and death.
in the Holy Spirit which dwells among us, dwells within us, and guides us through life by binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.
in the divinity, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and follow His example of God consciousness as a norm of Christian life. For He alone is our crucified and risen Lord, Who came to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to Himself and that He seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.
that God calls us into the Church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be God's servants in the service of men, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at God's table, to join God in God's passion and victory. And that it is our Great Commission to lead people to God consciousness through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and should be interpreted through the loving lenses of Jesus Christ.
that belief in Justification we are saved from the penalty of sin. And that God promises to all who trust God's forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, God's presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in God's kingdom which has no end.
that humankind was created by God to live in harmony with God. Because of the sins of humankind, Christ died to redeem and reconcile us back to God.
the Scriptures teach that the Christian Sabbath is Sunday. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should be employed in exercises of worship and spiritual devotion.
in the second coming of Christ to rapture the church into everlasting bliss.
that all people of faith are invited to join Christ at Christ's table for the sacrament of Communion. The breaking of bread and the pouring of wine remind us of the costliness of Christ's sacrifice and the discipleship to which we are all called.
that all of the baptized belong body and soul to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, notwithstanding race, gender, sexual orientation, class or creed. We all belong to God and to one worldwide community of faith.
in the inviolable dignity of all persons.
each person to be on a spiritual journey and at different stages of that journey and that every Christian should be on a persistent search for God Consciousness.
in addressing suspicious systems, markets, and nations that deny the inalienable rights of any human sector.
in the practice of ethical principles and revolutionary acts of love.
in being socially prophetic and not just progressive and liberal for the sake of political correctness.
that God has called us to promote peace by caring for the disenfranchised and marginalized persons on the fringes of our society.
we are a people of possibility. We take a literary and critical view of scripture as divinely inspired but not inerrant. We see the Bible as a Divine metaphor. It is a brilliantly composed record of the trajectory of human thoughts about God, and an evolution of humankind's coming to understand itself through the culturally sacred imagery of the Divine. Furthermore, we believe that although the Bible was not brought about by Divine dictation, because it was written over many hundreds of years and composed by several communities. The Bible is indeed the Word of God that must be "rightly divided"(2 Tim. 2:15) in order to liberate and bring about truth and not to establish dogmatic close-mindedness. At Myrtle, congregants have the breathing room to explore and hear…for after all, God is still speaking.


I love the classic game of Asteroids. At the time it was released in 1979 it introduced vector graphics to the world. It was one of the most popular and influential games of all time and one of Atari's first games. Asteroids uses vector graphics and a two-dimensional view that wraps around.

John and Tom take on the Boomstick
July 3, 2019 Bat Flips Admin Baseball, London Series, MLB UK, Pinch Hitting
Tom is an idiot, we know that.
So when the opportunity to take on a 2ft hot dog, solo, Tom jumped at the chance.
John however, was not so sure, but because Tom needed someone to race against, he knew he had to do it.
So, what is a Boomstick? Well it's a special hot dog created by Delaware North. Let me allow them to explain:
The legendary Boomstick was heaped to life in 2011 by a team of overachievers from Delaware North at Globe Life Park in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers. This 2-foot-long hot dog has been credited with igniting the MLB food explosion and upping the concession offerings at ballparks around the country.
The story behind the monster dog began during the 2010 World Series, when the Delaware North team in Arlington created the Backyard Dog – a half-pound hot dog, covered in BBQ beans and topped with BBQ potato chips. Sales surpassed all expectations, and it was clear that baseball fans were hungry for more.
Four months later, while designing the menu for the upcoming season, the team discarded all sensibility and created an item that quadrupled the size of the Backyard Dog, added chili, nacho cheese and jalapenos. The only challenge was sourcing the ingredients and finding a carrier sturdy enough to hold the 3-pound hot dog.
The Delaware North team found a vendor with a 2-foot-long hot dog and used a local bakery to customize a bun; a carrier was then designed that allowed fans to safely and comfortably tote the massive sharable item to their seats.
As for the name: At the time, Nelson Cruz was becoming the Rangers' premier slugger. He was hitting tape-measure walk-off home runs with his bat that he had affectionately nicknamed "The Boomstick."
The Boomstick was boldly priced at $26 and marketed as an item that could feed a family of four. When it was unveiled to the media, it became an overnight sensation. The Rangers elevated the hype by publicly promoting this first-of-its-kind item sold only at the ballpark. There were Boomstick T-shirts, Boomstick eating contests, countless media stories and a Boomstick Facebook and Twitter page. The Delaware North team even built a Boomstick Mobile that would drive on the field before each game.
By Opening Day, the Boomstick was a local and national sensation. More than 500 Boomsticks were sold in the first day; in the first year, revenue from the Boomstick alone nearly topped $1 million.
The Boomstick lives on at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Delaware North built a dedicated stand that sells the Boomstick and other oversized items that it has inspired over the years. People still try to eat the Boomstick by themselves … kids still stare and smile in amazement … and adults still carry the dog on their shoulder like a 1980s boom-box – all smiling ear to ear.
The world record for devouring one of the monsters solo is 3 minutes and 45 seconds. Tom (Stupidly) said he could easily crack 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
The British record (Set earlier on the Friday of the London Series) was set by an Invictus Athlete at a time of 6 minutes.
The challenge was on.
Want to see how the boys got on? Check out the video below.
Of course, the idiot Pringle finished it. In a time of 9 minutes and 50 seconds.
A broken man
A stupid man
During and after the challenge, both John and Tom agreed the hot dog tasted fantastic. Tom even commented on the latest pod, that except for the breakfast they had on Saturday morning, the Boomstick was the best food they had all weekend.
Fancy a go? Well you'll have to wait until Delaware North return to the London Series in 2020, or go wherever Nelson Cruz does his stuff. For now, that's Minnesota.
We would like to thank Delaware North for allowing these two fools to try and take on your delicious hot dog, solo. We'd like to apologise to Delaware North that John wasted a third of a hot dog.

One of the twelve jyotirlinga's in India, Parli Vaijnath is a sacred place. Queen Ahilyabai Holkar renovated this temple. The magnificient temple is constructed out of huge stones. Long staircases in the temple premises and a grand entrance door fascinate the visitors. The temple garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) and the assembly hall are located on the same elevation, hence the jyotirlinga can be seen from the assembly hall itself.
Except Vaijnath, nowhere can one touch the shiv linga while worshipping. There are three large tanks (kund) in the temple premises.
About 3 km from the temple, on the banks of River Brahmanadi there is Someshwar temple in Jirewadi located at an altitude of 300 feet. The Yogeshwari temple of Ambejogayi is nearby. Parli Vaijanath which is located in Beed district is about 24km from Ambejogayi and 61km from Parbhani. It is well connected by roads. A Thermal power station is also located close to Parli.

Document rental service brings "deep web" content to the mainstream
DeepDyve, a search engine that specializes in indexing the contents of documents published deep into a Web site, is announcing a Netflix-like service that allows users to "rent" documents such as medical journal articles on a per-use basis.
By Sam Diaz for Between the Lines | October 27, 2009 -- 06:01 GMT (23:01 PDT) | Topic: Enterprise Software
The company says that there's a market of more than 50 million "sophisticated consumers and professionals" known as "knowledge workers," who use the Web for research but that some of the best information for them is only available through expensive subscriptions that traditionally serve the academic or corporate worlds.
Also see: Wozniak joins DeepDyve advisory board; is deep web the final frontier?
DeepDyve has aggregated more 30 million journal articles that it is "renting" for 99 cents for 24 hours. There are also two subscription models - a $10 plan that provides access to 20 articles per month with viewing times of seven days or a $20 unlimited plan - read as many articles as many times as you'd like.
But it's not just the search capabilities. The service also provides you with things like personalized suggestions, bookmarks, alerts and related articles. For anyone who's ever had to do serious specialized research, you know that the Google results experience is hardly ideal, especially for discovering additional information related to a specific article.
The company is offering a 14-day free trial on the subscription plans to check out its library of articles.

Cimiata or Kimiata was a hill town of ancient Paphlagonia, which gave its name to a division of Paphlagonia named Cimiatene. It was situated at the foot of the Olgassys.

Its site was previously located near Kurmalar, Asiatic Turkey. However, view of new studies and epigraphic survey, this site is probably more located at Asar Tepe, near Deresamail village close to Eskipazar.

Hello, I am trying to sync from desktop to android and successfully got sync working on desktop. But i do not see the sync setting on the android version and I know I have the right version because I have android version 8.0.0 and 1.71 minimum is needed. I go to settings but no sync or scan sync code option is visible.
Sync for Android not yet hit the stable release (that you can download via Play Store). It's still in testing phase and required a preview APK (that what it's mean by "special version" in the article above).
Or you can wait until it's ready and available as an update via Play Store.

Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski dies at 89
By Jesse Byrnes - 05/26/17 11:14 PM EDT
Zbigniew Brzezinski, who served as national security adviser to former President Jimmy Carter during the Iran hostage crisis in the late 1970s, died Friday at the age of 89.
Brzezinski's death was announced by his daughter Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," in a post on Instagram.
"My father passed away peacefully tonight. He was known to his friends as Zbig, to his grandchildren as Chief and to his wife as the enduring love of her life," she wrote.
"I just knew his as the most inspiring, loving and devoted father any girl could ever have."
The Polish-born strategist and scholar faced criticism over his role in the Iran hostage crisis and other diplomatic efforts during the Carter administration involving the Soviet Union.
Zbigniew Brzezinski was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981 for his role in the normalization of U.S.-China relations and contributions to U.S. national security and human rights.

I love fresh vegetable juice, I really do. But as a busy, working Mum, the truth of the matter is that if left to my own devices, getting a fresh juice in 5 days a week simply doesn't happen. First there's making sure I have enough of all the right produce, washing it, cutting it up, then juicing it; with the resulting huge mess to clean up. Call me super-duper-ultra lazy, but it's enough work to have me not doing it. Juicero, on the other hand, gives me the easiest juice in the world. 2 minutes, no clean up, fresh organic juice. I'm hooked.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally secreted by the stomach to enhance the breakdown and subsequent absorption of the food and nutrients that we consume. HCl also serves a protective function, killing various pathogenic microorganisms that might otherwise cause infection in the gastrointestinal tract. Hydrochloric acid impacts your digestion significantly through these two factors – break down of food, and protection from external threats.
I usually sneak out of bed pretty early – right now it's 6.10am and the house is quiet – I love having this 1/2 hour or an hour to get a start on my day before the pitter patter of little feet emerging from the bedroom gets me away from the computer and to the couch for morning snuggles! I use this time also to get a start on my daily routine – most of all, getting some detox helpers in first thing as often these things do best on an empty stomach. I thought I'd share my morning detox routine with you – I love all of them and feel great when I get all three in.
Welcome to week seven of our 10-week journey together talking about 10 barriers to recovery from Lyme disease. Today's barrier is negative thoughts and a negative mental state. I have found in my patients that those who kept a positive outlook and chose to be optimistic about their health and their future were more likely to recover and stay well.
Trust me, having witnessed hundreds of patients on their Lyme journey, I am fully aware of the severity and brutality of this illness. I am aware of the stigma, the lack of awareness and understanding, the challenges of looking fine but feeling like death warmed up, and the amount of real pain and anguish this illness can cause. I am also aware that the infections themselves influence brain function and emotions, giving rise to depression and anxiety, thus making this whole process that much harder.
I am not for a minute making light of that, or implying that a few warm, fuzzy thoughts are the answer to everything. However, having studied about neuropsychology and neuroplasticity, I can confidently say that there is a valid scientific reason why your thoughts are so crucial. This applies to anything in life, not just Lyme treatment and recovery, but it's definitely relevant here.

Q: Connecting android with php and mysql I am a little new to android and having some doubts with my new android app making.There is a website already built in php and in that we can sign in and go to a member area page in which some database elements are getting updated by admin.I need to build the android app with same functionality so that whenever the data changes the values must be updated instantly in the android app also.
Can anyone give me what are the requirements and best way of doing this project? Someone told me Google Cloud Messaging is the best way.
Thanks in advance.

A: I don't think going through Google servers will be necessary in this case. You can directly connect to your server API and retrieve the newest values. However, you have to take authentication and access management into consideration too. If the website and the data are public, then you probably wouldn't have to worry about it.
There is a good tutorial here you can take a look at.

A: As above answer, when will you fetch the the latest data from servers ? You have to use push notifications. In this case you can use GCM or other PUSH services. If your data is larger than 4kb, you can send a notification saying that its time to sync with server. You can call rest api to do this. But polling your server from app is not a good idea at all.

Karen Bass on Jobs
Voted NO on allowing compensatory time off for working overtime.
Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to authorize private employers to provide compensatory time off to private employees at a rate of 1 1/2 hours per hour of employment for which overtime compensation is required.
Authorizes an employer to provide compensatory time only if it is in accordance with an applicable collective bargaining agreement.
Prohibits an employee from accruing more than 160 hours of compensatory time.
Requires an employee's employer to provide monetary compensation for any unused compensatory time off accrued during the preceding year.
Requires an employer to give employees 30-day notice before discontinuing compensatory time off.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
Rep. COURTNEY: This is the fifth time that the majority party has introduced [this bill since] 1997; and each time, the huge flaws in this legislation have resulted in its complete collapse. And once again, it doesn't deserve that support. Despite the representations made in its title--that it promotes workers' flexibility, that it gives workers choice--a closer examination of the bill shows the opposite is true. The better way to describe this bill is the More Work, Pay Less bill.
The 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act created a bright line to protect people's right to a 40-hour work week, and make sure that that next hour after 40 hours is paid for with the time-and-a-half of wages. That created the weekend in America. That created the time off that middle class families have taken for granted for decades.
What this bill does is it blurs that line; it creates total chaos in terms of trying to come up with a system to set up ground rules with a case-by-case written contract, and then leaves it to the enforcement of State Labor Departments Wage and Hours Divisions, which are totally incapable of going into the tens of thousands of workplaces all across America.

Raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2016.
Bass co-sponsored Minimum Wage Fairness Act
Congressional summary: Increases the federal minimum wage for employees to:
$8.20 an hour beginning 6 months after enactment
$9.15 an hour beginning 1 year later,
$10.10 an hour beginning 2 years later, and
an amount determined by increases in the Consumer Price Index, beginning annually after 3 years.
Increases the federal minimum wage for tipped employees to $3.00 an hour beginning 6 months after enactment, with annual CPI adjustments.
Proponent's argument in favor (RaiseTheMinimumWage.com): The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour remains decades out of date, and the federal minimum wage for tipped workers--$2.13 per hour--has not increased in over 20 years. The minimum wage of the past provided significantly more buying power than it does today. The minimum wage of $1.60 an hour in 1968 would be $10.56 today when adjusted for inflation.
Opponent's argument against: (Neil King in Wall Street Journal, Feb. 24, 2014): The CBO concluded that a jump in the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour could eliminate 500,000 jobs. For Republicans, the report provided ammunition that a higher minimum wage would kill jobs. Democrats pointed to the CBO's findings that the higher wage would lift 900,000 people out of poverty. But both sides missed a key finding: That a smaller hike from the current $7.25 to $9.00 an hour would cause almost no pain, and still lift 300,000 people out of poverty while raising the incomes of 7.6 million people.Congressional Budget Office report:: Once fully implemented, the $10.10 option would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers, or 0.3%. Some people earning slightly more than $10.10 would also have higher earnings, due to the heightened demand for goods and services. The increased earnings for low-wage workers would total $31 billion. Accounting for all increases and decreases, overall real income would rise by $2 billion.

Sponsored bill for strengthening union organizing.
Bass co-sponsored PRO Act
H.R.842 & S.420: Protecting the Right to Organize Act: This bill expands various labor protections related to employees' rights to organize and collectively bargain in the workplace:
revises the definitions of employee, supervisor, and employer to broaden the scope of individuals covered by the fair labor standards;
permits labor organizations to encourage participation of union members in strikes initiated by employees represented by a different labor organization (i.e., secondary strikes); and
prohibits employers from bringing claims against unions that conduct such secondary strikes.
The bill also allows collective bargaining agreements to require all employees represented by the bargaining unit to contribute fees to the labor organization for the cost of such representation.
Biden Administration in SUPPORT: The Administration strongly supports The PRO Act. America was not built by Wall Street. It was built by the middle class, and unions built the middle class. Unions put power in the hands of workers. H.R. 842 would strengthen and protect workers' right to form a union by assessing penalties on employers who violate workers' right to organize.
Rep. Mo Brooks in OPPOSITION: H.R. 842 [is] a radical union bill that tramples the rights of citizens by forcing them to enter into union servitude, including:
Overturns right-to-work laws in 27 states, thereby forcing citizens, against their will, to pay millions of dollars in dues to labor unions.
Denies citizens' rights to vote by secret ballot on whether to join a union by imposing a biased "card-check" scheme.
Deprives individuals of entrepreneurial opportunities. The PRO Act would eliminate the franchise industry and sharing economy as we know them.
Legislative Outcome:Passed House 222-204-4 (Rollcall 82) on 03/09/2021; received and read in the Senate on 3/23; no further Senate action during 2021. Source: H.R.842/S.420 21-HR842 on Feb 4, 2021

In August 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American President Franklin Roosevelt held a top secret meeting on the British battleship HMS Prince of Wales to discuss military matters, including America's then-top-secret assistance of the British battle against Germany.
Later that month, British codebreakers intercepted a communique from the Japanese with an exact, detailed account of that meeting. While the news stunned the British leader, even worse was the revelation that one of the men who passed the information along was not only a longtime Churchill associate, but a highly regarded member of the House of Lords.
"The Fall of Singapore: The Great Betrayal," a BBC documentary now airing in Britain, reveals that not only did British officials provide the Japanese with all the technology and know-how they used to attack Pearl Harbor, but that for 20 years, a distinguished British peer fed them so much crucial military information that, without his actions, the attack might never have happened.
In 1919, William Forbes-Sempill, a high-level wing commander whose father had been an aide to King George V, led a mission to Japan — then a British ally — to help them develop an air base.
But when Japan developed their own aircraft carrier several years later, Britain, at the urging of the United States, broke the alliance. Sempill took a job advising other foreign governments on aircraft sales, but also secretly continued assisting Japan.
Thanks to help from Sempill and another distinguished British pilot turned spy, Frederick Rutland, the Japanese carrier fleet rivaled the British in just seven years.
By 1924, the British intelligence agency MI5 was on to Sempill, having intercepted alarming correspondence between him and the Japanese, including secret details of the latest British airplane engines and discussion of recruiting other high-level Brits to their cause.
But despite their overwhelming evidence, the British not only declined to prosecute but also did nothing to stop his activities for fear of embarrassing the government.
By the mid-1930s, Sempill became a member of the House of Lords and also joined a number of British pro-Nazi groups, a situation that was shockingly common among the British aristocracy.
When Churchill first learned of his longtime friend's activities in 1941, he was terrified that the world would learn that he had been casually chatting about military secrets with a friend who was then passing them along to their enemy.
Even when he was caught calling the Japanese Embassy several times in the week following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Sempill escaped arrest. And when the House of Commons made noise about a potential investigation, Churchill said no.
After the war, Sempill was decorated both by the Japanese and by the British — the latter, supposedly, to further cover up his activities. Ironically, Rutland, who taught the Japanese how to take off and land from carriers and also spied on American bases, was interned by the British for two years, later committing suicide. Unlike Sempill, Rutland did not have an aristocratic bloodline to spare him.


Warning: This post contains MAJOR spoilers for The Force Awakens!
I can't write a review of The Force Awakens. To me, a review implies being able to see things at least somewhat objectively, being able to critically evaluate a piece of media. And there is no way I can be objective about this movie. Maybe after further viewings I'll be able talk about things like cinematography and scoring and pacing and whether it borrowed too much of its structure from A New Hope or just enough to make it resonate with fans. But I've only seen it once so far, and after seeing it, there was only one thing I really wanted to write about—and that's what this movie is going to mean for little girls and their playground adventures.
When I was a little girl, I used to play Star Wars on a playground near my grandparents' house with my two older cousins, both of whom were boys, and my little sister (who—being the adorable toddler she was—always played an Ewok). My cousins had a choice: They could be Han or Luke or Darth Vader or any X-Wing pilot or any Stormtrooper. I could be Princess Leia. I'm not saying that was a bad thing or that I even wanted a choice back then. I think even now—if given a choice to pretend to be any female character ever created—I'd still choose Princess Leia. But maybe other little girls playing on playgrounds wanted a choice. And the only other choice they really had (besides being a dancer in Jabba's palace—and no one wanted to choose that) was Luke's Aunt Beru—who dies at the beginning of A New Hope—or Mon Mothma—who gets one exposition-heavy monologue that lasts about a minute and is never really seen again.
Even after the prequel trilogy came out, choices were limited for little girls who wanted to pretend to be Star Wars characters. Padme was a strong leader, but she wasn't the main focal point of the story. There were some female bounty hunters and politicians, and even some female Jedi—but they never received the kind of focus that made kids really take notice of them in a way that became part of their imaginations and aspirations.
After The Force Awakens, things are different. Little girls have a choice now. They can be General Organa if they want to be a fierce leader of the Resistance, they can be Captain Phasma if they want to play the villain for a little while, they can be Maz Kanata if they want to be a wise alien creature, they can be any of the many female military leaders (on both sides of the conflict) and X-Wing pilots shown throughout the film, or they can be Rey if they want to go on their own hero's journey.
As I watched Daisy Ridley own every bit of her screen time as Rey, I kept thinking about all the little girls who will see this movie in the coming weeks, months, and years. I thought about the little girl who one day—years after this trilogy ends—will be introduced to these movies by her older cousins and will play out Rey's story on the playground with them by her side. And when she plays out this story, she will be the hero, and it will be the boys who are part of her story—not the other way around.
When it comes to fandom, first loves often last a lifetime. The first character you ever really related to, the first "ship" that melted your heart, the first book or movie or TV show that kept you up way past your bedtime just thinking about it—they stay with you forever. And like the best first loves, they change you in ways you probably don't even realize until years later. They become so wrapped up in the fabric of who you are that you don't know who you'd be if you hadn't picked up that book or changed the channel at the right time or popped in that VHS tape—and you don't ever want to know, either.
For me, it always comes back to Star Wars. I first discovered the original trilogy as a little girl of no more than five or six, thanks to my two older cousins. I have fond memories of pretending to be Princess Leia as I ran around with them on the playground, rushing from the "Death Star" (the jungle gym area) to the "Millennium Falcon" (the swings) as we made our escape from my dad, who was always Darth Vader.
While these early years of Star Wars love gave me my first fictional role model in Princess Leia as well as a certain fondness for scoundrels before I even knew what that word meant, it took until I was 12 for me to really consider myself a Star Wars nerd, complete with the deep sense of engagement, passion, and enthusiasm I attach to the idea of being a nerd. It was the during the spring of seventh grade that I re-discovered the series that had been such a big part of my early childhood, but I now was able to throw myself into it with the single-minded devotion only a preteen girl can possess.
Every Thursday, I want to celebrate the enthusiasm that comes with being a fangirl (or fanboy—don't think you're excluded from the fun, guys). I'll start with a story about something that gets me excited about fandom—whether it's about TV, movies, books, or the general experiences that come with being a passionate fan. But what I really want these posts to be is a place for you to share your stories. We have some great discussions here at NGN, so let's carve out some time every Thursday to have even more of them!
Those words from F. Scott Fitzgerald speak to the essence of being a fan. Being a part of a fandom is like finding a little place in the world where you feel accepted; it's like finding a community of people who understand you on a fundamental level because they understand what it's like to love something that you also love. No matter the fandom—whether it's for a book series, TV show, video game, or sports team—what makes these communities so special is the sense of belonging they instill in their members. When you're around fellow fans, you don't feel judged for caring the way you do about the things that you love; you feel welcomed and encouraged to be as passionate as you want to be.
When members of a fandom come together, it's a truly special thing. There's a sense of unity and enthusiasm that can't be matched. I've had the pleasure of participating in more shared fandom experiences than I can count—from midnight releases for movies to playoff sports games—and they all share one common trait: excitement.
I'm a Star Wars nerd. I've watched the original trilogy more times than I can count. I own an encyclopedia of characters and multiple Expanded Universe novels. I've idolized Princess Leia since I was a little girl. And I freaked out when I discovered my family's trip to Disney World was going to coincide with the annual Star Wars Weekends held at Hollywood Studios.
Star Wars has been a part of my life for almost 20 years. It was my first real foray into fandom, my first real taste of the nerdy life I so proudly live today. There's something special about your first love, and that's what Star Wars was for me. From pretending to be Princess Leia on the playground with my cousins as a kid to writing about its mythology as a college student, Star Wars has always had a presence in my life—and I hope it always will.
To celebrate my Star Wars Weekend adventures (and because it's never a bad time to talk about Han Solo), I thought it would be fun to rank the six Star Wars films from worst to best.
Yes, there are some really cool things about this movie. As an original trilogy fan, it was fascinating to watch Palpatine's rise and to see a younger Yoda on the Jedi Council. Darth Maul and his double-sided lightsaber are the epitome of badass. And any movie featuring both Samuel L. Jackson, Liam Neeson, and Ewan McGregor as Jedi Knights can't be a total loss. However, this movie takes those strong points and dilutes them with a story that's incredibly boring. Who cares about the Trade Federation? (Answer: NO ONE) It also takes one of the great mysteries of the Star Wars universe (the Force) and turns it into something that can be analyzed in blood tests (and can apparently impregnate women—or at least Anakin's mom—in the most ridiculous "WTF?!" moment in the whole series). Finally, no mention of The Phantom Menace is complete without a mention of its enduring legacy: Jar Jar Binks. Meesa wishing he was never created.


Do you use MS Office 2007?
Well, then you probably noticed that Excel multiplies "850 x 77.1" as "100,000" instead of "65,535".
Uh, you didn't notice? Well neither did I until I read it all over the internet.
There are explanations all around about how this bug came to appear in Excel.
The best one is probably Joel's one (you may remember Joel from this post).
Go and read it. Joel is very deep in there and explains why the binary calculations can be confusing, and how the binary notation standards may or not help you developing better software.
I will, however, quote the best parts from the questions at the end — very insightfull!
Second insight, on the perils of automated tests (an automated test sees only what you ask it to see, hence it has blind spots and will not report for side-effects!).

Paw Ternity Leave
Modis Posted 15 November 2018
While many new moms and dads in the U.S. juggle newborns and work responsibilities, some pet owners at tech companies are getting time-off to care for new puppies and kitties.
This new breed of "paw-ternity" leave is the latest effort by tech companies to attract employees in an ever-tightening job market in the U.S. Now, in addition to free gourmet meals, on-site daycare, and state-of-the art fitness centers, some tech companies are offering new pet-friendly policies.
Many tech companies have welcomed pets in their offices for years, but offering pet leave is a new phenomenon. One company that claims to be the standard-bearer for pet-friendly enterprises is BrewDog, a Scottish company that recently opened a brewery and taproom in Columbus, Ohio. The company proclaimed last year that it was the first in the United States to offer workers a paw-ternity benefit. All of the company's approximately 1,000 employees qualify for time-off to care for their furry friends.
"It's not easy trying to juggle work and settle a new dog into your life, and many members of our crew have four-legged friends at home," BrewDog co-founder James Watt told USA Today. "We wanted to take the stress out of the situation and let our teams take the time they need to welcome their new puppy or dog into their family."
Another company, Nina Hale, a marketing firm in Minneapolis, began allowing employees to work from home in order to help a new dog or cat settle-in, according to a recent report in The New York Times.
While it remains to be seen whether leave for pet owners will become widespread, the trend toward more pet-friendly workplaces is growing. According to a 2015 Society for Human Resource Management's Employee Benefits survey, 8 percent of respondents reported that pets were allowed in their workplace, an increase from 5 percent in 2013.
There is even scientific evidence to support the benefits of bringing pets to work. A recent study conducted by researchers at West Virginia University concluded that "dog-friendly work places may manifest as lower rates of absenteeism and higher worker morale and productivity."
But, the authors do add that the jury is still out on how much of an advantage pet-friendly policies are when it comes to hiring and retention: "The reporting of pet-friendly corporate policies of companies in the popular press has perhaps contributed to positive public reactions, but more research is needed to compare similar businesses with and without dog-friendly policies to better understand whether these policies support a competitive advantage, not only in relation to consumer preferences, but also by attracting and retaining the most qualified employees."
Still, paid time-off pet policies are clearly another carrot for corporate recruiters to use in attracting new tech talent. Already, those same companies are using family leave as an incentive. Silicon Valley companies have long recognized the importance of family leave as a hiring incentive. According to a report in CIO, companies that offer a family leave benefit fill job vacancies 17.5 days faster than companies that don't offer a similar benefit.
To put the significance of paw-ternity leave in perspective, according to the Pew Research Center, just 14 percent of civilian workers in the U.S. have access to family leave. So, for companies looking for a hiring edge, a family leave policy that includes pets might just be the perfect bone to throw to a potential new hire.

As funding woes continue to tax the city of Pataskala, city council members are keeping their options open for taxing the residents.
Before they take a final vote on placing either an income tax or property tax on the May ballot, though, members said they want to hear from community members. They have scheduled an open house for 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 30, in council chambers. Council then will meet at noon after the open house to consider the community feedback.
Council members took the first step during their Jan. 19 business meeting by hearing two ordinances to move forward with a tax initiative. One ordinance would put an income-tax initiative on the May 4 ballot, calling for a 1-percent tax beginning July 1, 2010, and a 2-percent tax with up to a 1-percent credit to begin July 1, 2011. Another is a 7-mill property tax.
Council waived the required three readings and passed an ordinance to have the Licking County auditor certify Pataskala's assessed valuation, which must occur prior to putting a property-tax levy on the ballot.
Council has until 4 p.m. Feb. 18 to register a ballot initiative with the county board of elections. Council is expected to make a decision during its Feb. 16 meeting.
As with mast tax options, council again seems split over the two tax measures, which have been considered for each of the past eight failed levy attempts.
Councilman Bernard Brush said he wants people to know that property-tax revenue could continue to increase as people and businesses move to the city.
"Historically, at least over the past 10 to 15 years, this city has grown by leaps and bounds, and here has been a lot of real estate transactions," Brush said. "There has been a lot of real estate transactions. That is why the real estate property-tax base has increased. If that would continue, property tax (revenue) would increase."
City finance director Jason Carr said the value of a mill increases and decreases, based on rises and drops in property values, and is collected based on the effective millage rate.
"That does not always necessarily mean we are going to collect what the full value is," said Carr, who has said he favors an income tax.
Residents also seem to remain split.
Pataskala resident Jack Jacox said the "only sensible tax is an income tax."
"To have anything other than an income tax is crazy," he said. "Don't let the landed interest force everyone in the bedroom community to carry the load."
Jacox called the former Lima Township residents "freeloaders" for not passing an income tax.
Resident Mike Fox said he disagreed.
"He just called more than half of the city of Pataskala freeloaders," Fox said. "Fifty-seven percent of the city said no to the last income tax. Citizens for Responsible Taxation, a local political-action committee, will not stand idly by while this council continues to force a 2-percent income tax. If it gets put back on the ballot, I guarantee you it will be turned down again. I'm not sure why you can't get it through your heads."
He suggested that council put on a 1-percent income tax and possibly even lower than that.
"Put something on that can pass," Fox said. "I think that the city has cried wolf so much that, just like the little storybook, it is going to happen."

Q: does the flat pre-cover need to exist for a left module? All modules do have the flat cover by a result from the year 2001.
What can be a ring $R$ and a left $R$-Module $M$ which doesn't have (a/the) flat pre-cover ? How can I construct such $R$ and left module $M$ over this $R$ ? Are all flat pre-covers of a fixed $M$ unique up to an iso ?
Enochs, Edgar. "Flat covers and flat cotorsion modules." Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 92.2 (1984): 179-184.
Bican, Ladislav, Robert El Bashir, and Edgar Enochs. "All modules have flat covers." Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society 33.4 (2001): 385-390.

A: Every flat cover is already a flat precover, because it is just a precover  with an extra condition.
I think the extra condition does allow you to prove that the precover is unique. For, if you had two precovers and found arrows going in opposite directions between them, then by composing the two (in both orders) you get an endomorphisms, and the extra condition says these endomorphisms are an isomorphisms. That would mean the original two maps were isomorphisms between the two precovers.
Since Bican, Bashir and Enochs proved that every module has a flat cover,  what you are looking for does not exist.

About West Ham United FC
West Ham United were formally founded in the July of 1900 after five years as Thames Ironworks Football Club. The winners of three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup, the 'Hammers' lay claim to the Academy of Football, renowned for its development of prodigious talent and an illustrious list of England internationals. West Ham's very own Bobby Moore led England to FIFA World Cup glory at Wembley in 1966, with fellow Hammers Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters scoring the Three Lions' four goals.

Q: How can i run NPM Commands in VSCode terminal? i'm working on NPM terminal in VSCode as git and i installed an extension to support NPM but didn't work and i just got that error

'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

EDIT
i already installed node.js , i just want to work in the regular command prompt rather than node.js cmd and i got errors but it worked well when i open cmd as an admin after adding 'C:\Program Files\nodejs' to the path. now how i work with npm in cmd without opening it as an admin ? i think it's a permissions issue tho.

A: What version do you have? It sounds like node is not installed.
Try to run npm -v to identify the version?

A: You can run npm commands in a VSCode terminal the same way you would run them in any terminal:
npm <command>
This is assuming npm is properly installed.
Regarding the error you reported, maybe check this out:

Pintos pull out close win over Fatima
The California Pintos girls basketball team held on to win a close game against the Fatima Comets 48-43 on Jan. by Kevin Labotka Jan. 8 2020 @ 12:05am

The California Pintos girls basketball team held on to win a close game against the Fatima Comets 48-43 on Jan. 6. The Pintos are now 8-3 on the year.
There was not much scoring in the first quarter, as the Pintos led 7-3 by the end of the quarter. Fatima bounced back and outscored California 15-10 in the second quarter to enter halftime up 18-17.
In the third quarter, the Pintos' offense seemed to get it going, with both teams scoring quickly early in the quarter. A three-pointer by Lauren Friedrich gave the Pintos a 24-22 lead. Paige Lamm then got a block on the Comets' next possession and the Pintos' lead grew to four points, after a basket by Lauren Hill made it 26-22 with around five minutes to go in the quarter.
Fatima made it a 26-24 game with around 4:23 to go in the quarter, but a three-pointer by Tristan Porter extended California's lead and made it a 29-24 game. Then another three-pointer, this time by Trishelle Porter, widened the gap to eight points at 32-24 with 3:30 to go in the quarter. The Pintos made four three-pointers in the game, three of them coming in the third quarter. Two free throws by Tristan Porter made it a 10-point game at 34-24 with less than three minutes in the quarter.
Head coach Bobby Sangster said the team executed on making its shots in the third quarter.
"We made shots, (Fatima) tried some different defenses but when the shots go in it looks pretty," Sangster said. "It sounds simple, but that is what it is, we made shots."
The Comets would fight back, as they got the lead down to 34-28 with 2:13 to go. Fatima pulled the Pintos' lead back down to five points at 36-31 right before the end of the quarter.
The fourth quarter started off with a three-point play by Tristian Porter to make it a 39-31 game with less than six minutes to go in the game. Again, the Comets fought back as they would not go away quietly. Fatima made it a 41-36 game with 3:20 left to play and would again keep the game within five points at 43-38 with 1:20 left to go. With less than 40 seconds on the clock, the Comets had a three-point play of their own to make it a 47-42 game.
With the score at 48-43, Fatima had the ball with around 25 seconds left in the game, but the Pintos played some tough defense. California did not allow the Comets to get a shot off until there was around 5 seconds left in the game, and the Pintos were able to secure the miss.
Sangster said the team just went out there and guarded its opponents.
"There is nothing complicated to it, they just locked in and guarded, they stayed in concept and they stayed together on the defensive end," Sangster said. "We talk about playing unselfishly and we played very unselfish on the defensive end."
The Pintos had 10 players score at least one point in the game. Tristan Porter led the team with 14 points, followed by Paige Lamm and Lauren Hill with six points each, and Lauren Friedrich with five points.
Sangster said he hopes the team's spread in scoring on the night shows the team is unselfish.
The team's next game is at 6 p.m. on Jan. 9. at home versus Eldon.

HomeEconomyThe Red Eléctrica group changes its name and will be renamed Redeia...
The Red Eléctrica group changes its name and will be renamed Redeia | Economy | The USA Print
In lowercase, with blue letters and the point of the i in turquoise. The former Red Eléctrica group will now be called Redeia, the new brand under which the group's five subsidiaries will operate: Red Eléctrica (the system manager and responsible for transport), Reintel (fiber provider), Hispasat (which encompasses the satellite business), Redinter (the new brand of the international subsidiary) and Elewit (the technological platform). This was announced this Tuesday by its president, Beatriz Corredor, at the entity's shareholders' meeting. The ticker under which it is listed on the Stock Exchange will also change from REE to RED.
The corporate image change will cost 213,000 euros, an "austere" budget, according to Corredor, which aims to better reflect the company's business diversity, which in addition to operating more than 49,000 kilometers of electrical circuits, operates a network of more than 52,000 kilometers dark fiber optic cable and nine satellites. "It evokes fluidity and dynamism", the president, one of the three women who occupy that position in the Ibex 35, the index that groups the largest Spanish companies, has pointed out about Redeia.
The company will gradually replace its old identity with the new one, until 2024, taking advantage of the infrastructure maintenance work. The movement is reminiscent of that of large technology companies such as Google (Alphabet since 2015), or Facebook (renamed Meta), which opted for this turn to include other companies in the group in the name of the conglomerate's parent company —for example, Facebook also owns Instagram and WhatsApp—.
Beyond the name change, the directors have left several messages. Corredor recalled that the interconnection with France, which should have reached 10% of capacity in 2020, is at 3%, so it is running late. Redeia directors believe, however, that the growing pressure from Brussels to advance it can speed up the procedures. "If before the urgency could be understood as from Spain to Europe, now it is from Europe to Spain, and this is going to speed up the processing," said Corredor. "In the next two or three years we will see significant progress," said the CEO, Roberto García, on the interconnection with France through the Bay of Biscay.

Corredor insisted that the tensions in the energy markets due to the war in Ukraine do not endanger the energy supply for the summer, when there is a greater expense for the use of air conditioners to combat the heat. "Not even a gas shortage would affect us", he stated while arguing that Spain obtains energy from 14 different sources, does not depend on Russian gas, has supplies from Algeria, has six regasification plants, and receives liquefied gas ships above your needs. "I understand the anguish and doubts in the family environment, but it is not worth worrying about that," he reassured about a possible supply problem.
A mix privileged
He knows in depth all the sides of the coin.
According to their data, Spain has an installed power of more than 114,000 megawatts, and the peak demand is around 45,000 megawatts, with which the installed power more than doubles, although 57% of it is from renewable sources. , and is not always available. In 2021, the record for electricity generated from renewable sources was broken, with 46.7% of the total, with wind power as the leader and photovoltaic as the one that grew the most.
The CEO of Redeia applauded that Spain has a mix "privileged" when compared to the countries around it. Last year, 4,500 new megawatts of renewable energy were integrated into the system, and it is expected that in 2022 that figure will be higher. "The mix it is going to improve to be cheaper and renewable," said Roberto García. The manager also recalled that Redeia "does not earn a single euro derived from the price of electricity", that is, it is not affected by increases or decreases in rates, since the infrastructure is remunerated independently of its price. For his part, Corredor criticized the marginal pricing system as "inefficient." And he believes that he does not respond to the reality of the mix Spanish or European energy.

The shareholders' meeting approved the re-election of three company directors: Socorro Fernández, Antonio Gómez and Mercedes Real and has ratified the appointment of Esther Rituerto as director. In addition, it authorized the delivery of a dividend of one euro per share charged to the results of the 2021 financial year. On July 1, the payment of the complementary dividend of 0.7273 euros gross per share will be made, which is added to the advance of 0 .2727 euros paid on January 7. The appointment of Ernst & Young as auditor of the accounts of the parent company and its consolidated group for a period of three years (2023-2025) was also approved.

According to Disney Dining, the official policy is that it is up to the discretion of the restaurants management as to whether or not a Guest can order from the children's menu.
In my experience, servers at each of the restaurants will do their very best to accommodate requests made by Guests and to ensure that they have an enjoyable experience whilst dining there.
If nothing on the adult menu appeals to your Son at any restaurants, he will most likely be able to request something from the children's menu instead. In most cases, you will find that he will be given a larger portion than that which would normally be given to a child.
If he would like to order steak from the adults menu but doesn't like the sauce it comes with, ask your server if it is possible for him to have it without.
If you are really struggling, it is worth asking your server if it is possible for him to have something which is not on the menu but is fairly easy to make, like a sandwich or toastie for example. Whilst this can't be guaranteed you will find that Disney are very accommodating to children who are picky eaters.

A fireplace insert is essentially the heart of the fire, typically made of cast iron, there are two distinct styles decorative arched fireplace inserts or traditional tiled fireplace inserts. Fireplace inserts require a surround to be placed around them to complete the look. Naturally, fireplace inserts will require a working chimney, unless you intend to install them for purely decorative purposes, in which case they can be placed into a cavity or false chimney breast.
A fireplace insert is essentially the heart of the fire, usually made of cast iron, they include the grate itself and some form of decorative arch. The difference between an insert and a combination is essentially that an insert will require a surround whereas combinations come include a surround as part of a single entity. Cast iron inserts were a fixture in homes of the traditional architectural periods such as Victorian, Federation and Edwardian and distinguished by their period specific decorative features. Originally inserts were used as the primary source of heat and included an integrated grate to burn solid fuels such as timber or coal. Inserts are still a popular choice in new and renovated homes built in the classic styles, where decorative gas burners are usually fitted to recreate the original live fire effect.
Available as part of our mix-and-match selection, here you can choose from a range of cast-iron inserts to suit your taste and home. Fascia's are often used in conjunction with a mantelpiece or surround. They contribute the first layer of decorative effect and by distancing the mantle or surround from the fireplace opening help to proportion the fireplace suite.
