The Petbarn Foundation's Seeing Eye Dogs Appeal raises vital funds to help cover the cost of breeding, caring for and training Seeing Eye Dogs to support as many Australians who are blind or have low vision as possible.
Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs is the only national provider of world-class bred and trained Seeing Eye Dogs. Our work depends heavily on the goodwill and support of our donors and volunteers to provide these life-changing companions.
It costs more than $50,000 and takes up to two years to train a single Seeing Eye Dog.
Since launching in 2014, the Appeal has already raised more than $4 million – that's 80 six-legged partnerships that have been created with your help.
This July, we partnered with The Petbarn Foundation and Royal Canin to raise enough money to help breed, train and care for at least 15 Seeing Eye Dogs.
Why it's so important
Seeing Eye Dogs enable Australians who are blind or have low vision to retain their independence and mobility.
For people like Denise, a Seeing Eye Dog provides the confidence to get around safely, helps overcome social isolation and contributes to an all-round better quality of life.
More than 1500 Australians are estimated to require support from a Seeing Eye Dog at any one time.
With such a high demand, people in need can often be waiting more than a year before a suitable Seeing Eye Dog becomes available.
Matching a Seeing Eye Dog to a client is a critical part of the process to ensure they have a productive and happy life together. A client's lifestyle and the personality of both the dog and the client are taken into consideration, and once the ideal match is found, the dog is specially trained to meet that client's specific needs.
The more dogs we have, the more perfect partnerships we can create.
This July, you can help us give a person who is blind or has low vision the gift of independence in two ways:
Watch The Puppy Games
Tune in to the Seeing Eye Dogs Puppy Games on July 23 at 12pm as four of our pups showcase their skills and the real-life challenges they may face as a Seeing Eye Dog.
You can help us continue essential training of these dogs by making a donation on Game Day. Our generous friends at Royal Canin will be matching each donation placed that day up to a total of $50,000, meaning every dollar you give will have DOUBLE the impact.
$30 can help towards general vet examinations for pups joining the program
$50 can go towards essential equipment like special harnesses and leads
$100 can go towards essential puppy social training activities like learning to ride public transport
Visit your local Petbarn or City Farmers
Visit your local Petbarn or City Farmers store between July 1 and August 2 and make a donation at the counter.
Find your local store.
Your donation will be life changing for someone who is blind or has low vision.

Kościół San Giuseppe w Mediolanie – zabytkowy kościół rzymskokatolicki w Mediolanie.

Historia
Kościół wzniesiono w latach 1607-1630 według projektu Francesca Marii Richiniego; jest pierwszym czysto barokowym obiektem sakralnym Mediolanu. Prawa strona kościoła jest zwrócona w kierunku ulicy via Andegari.

Richini miał do dyspozycji bardzo ograniczoną działkę, co skłoniło go do zastosowania nieregularnego planu opartego o zestawienie dwóch przestrzeni scentralizowanych, wzorowanych na kościele Sant'Alessandro w Zebedii. Plastyczny wyraz fasady udekorowany jest serią edykuł mieszczących osiemnastowieczne figury świętych oraz podwójne przyczółki.

Less than a month after casting doubt over his participation at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic is heading for the tournament as a genuine title contender.
Despite coming up just short in a 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 loss to Marin Cilic in the Queen's Club final on Sunday, Djokovic produced one of his best performances since missing the second half of 2017 with an elbow injury.
Cilic saved a match point at 4-5 in the second set and then won six consecutive points from 4-1 down in the tiebreaker to level, before going on to win his second title at the Wimbledon warm-up.
Djokovic was left in far more optimistic mood than when he came off the court after a French Open quarter-final defeat to Marco Cecchinato on June 5.
"Well, I'm there," said Djokovic, when asked if he's back to top form.
"All in all, I think that the level of my tennis has been as good as it has been the last 12 months."
A fourth-round exit at the Australian Open on his return was followed by early defeats at Indian Wells and Miami. There were signs of improvement on clay as Djokovic reached the semi-finals in Rome, but his ranking dropped to 22 following a crushing defeat to the unseeded Cecchinato in Paris.
"I think that most importantly for him he showed consistent level of play during all week, even against (Grigor) Dimitrov, even yesterday against (Jeremy) Chardy. Today he was serving great," Cilic said of Djokovic.
Djokovic though was quick to downplay such optimism.

HomeThe 2021 UK Championship – The QFs
The 2021 UK Championship – The QFs
December 4, 2021 Monique Professional snooker tournamentProfessional snooker
Other than Kyren Wilson's 6-5 win over Ronnie, this is what the QFs in York brought us.
Luca Brecel beat Anthony McGill by 6-2
This is a result that I didn't expect, nevermind the scoreline. McGill usually has a way to get under the fluent players' skin. I didn't watch the match, so can't really comment. Here is the report by WST:
Brecel became the first player from continental Europe to reach the semi-finals of a Triple Crown event with a comfortable victory over McGill. The 26-year-old Belgian has lost just three frames in his last three matches, reaching the last four of a ranking event for the first time since the 2019 China Open.
A break of 68 gave Brecel the opening frame and he took a scrappy 40-minute second on the colours. A run of 59 helped put him 3-0 up and he had chances in the fourth but McGill eventually cleared from blue to black to pull one back.
Runs of 60 and 62 helped Brecel extend his lead to 5-1. Scotland's McGill took the seventh but his hopes of a fight-back ended when Brecel got the better of a fragmented eighth frame.
Brecel said: "I played some good frames. I will need to kill the frames off in one visit against Kyren but if that doesn't happen I'm just going to try hard to win the scrappy frames as well. It's going to be a big match for me. Kyren has been there, he has got more experience at that level, but we will see what happens. Hopefully I can get to the final
"The first day I was here for the tournament, there is this wall with all the winners and there is a question mark on the empty one next to 2021. I said to my girlfriend – what if I just wrote my name of it just for fun? Now there is a chance to do it!"
Every win by Luca in a high profile match is a boost for snooker in continental Europe and in Belgium in particular. Asked about snooker in Belgium, Luca cited Ben Merten and Julien Leclercq as great prospects for the future. They are indeed.
In the evening, Zhao Xintong beat Jack Lisowski by 6-2. That was another unexpected result as far as I'm concerned. I only watched the four first frames. Up to that point, it was a poor match really. Jack could have been 4-0 up if it wasn't for silly mistakes. Zhao who was playing in his first ever semi-final looked very shaky (he probably was, literally). Credits to him to make it 2-2 at the MSI. I gave up at that point. The commentators were doing their best to promote the "exciting" side of the match, but really it wasn't exciting at all and that, combined with the time difference, got the better of my willingness to watch the second part of the match. I may do that later this week though.
Barry Hawkins got the better of Andy Hicks without playing anywhere near his best.
Here are the reports by WST:
Zhao To Meet Hawkins In Semis
China's talented Zhao Xintong, described this week as "our Federer" by Ronnie O'Sullivan, reached the semi-finals of the Cazoo UK Championship with a 6-2 thumping of Jack Lisowski.
On Saturday evening, Zhao will face Barry Hawkins, who booked his place in the last four with a 6-1 win over Andy Hicks. With Kyren Wilson to take on Luca Brecel at 1pm, it's a semi-final line-up featuring four players who have never reached the final of this event before. On Sunday night in York, one of them will lift the trophy and collect the top prize of £200,000.
Asked about Zhao earlier this week, O'Sullivan said: "He is amazing, I think he is our (Roger) Federer. I've never seen a more talented snooker player." World number 26 Zhao, age 24, now has the chance to live up to his potential by winning one of snooker's biggest tournaments. He is through to his second ranking event semi-final and first since the 2018 China Championship – when he beat Hawkins 5-4 in the last eight.
Both Zhao and Brecel have the added motivation of a chance to book a place at next month's Cazoo Masters. Reaching the final could be enough for a top 16 spot for Zhao, while Brecel needs to win the title.
Lisowski started strongly tonight with breaks of 79 and 63 to win the first two frames. And he had a clear chance to go 3-0 ahead but missed the brown to a baulk corner when leading 57-56. Xiao punished him to close to 2-1 and that proved a turning point.
Sheffield-based Zhao won the fourth frame on the colours then came from 61-0 down to take the fifth with a 74 clearance. From 3-2 ahead, he reeled off the last three frames with top runs of 56, 56 and 83.
"It was an amazing game," said Zhao. "When I was 2-0 down, I was just thinking 'take it easy now.' He missed balls in the third and fourth frames and so I was able to get back into it. Then I was thinking I can do it, I can win the match.
"I'm very happy now. It's a big tournament for me and this was a big match because it can give me more confidence, which is important in this sport. Barry Hawkins is a great player and also in the top 16. I don't want to think to much about it, I don't want to add pressure on myself."
Hawkins is through to the 27th ranking event semi-final of his career and is looking for his fourth title. The 42-year-old Londoner has made serene progress through the draw so far, losing just eight frames in his five matches. This is his first appearance in the semi-finals of the UK Championship, though he has made it to the last four of the Betfred World Championship on five occasions.
Hicks, the world number 102, had chances in each of the first four frames tonight, but couldn't take them and Hawkins went 4-0 ahead with a top break of 55. Hicks pulled one back after the interval, But Hawkins compiled a run of 57 in the sixth to go 5-1 ahead, then came from 35-0 down in the seventh to seal victory with breaks of 30 and 45.
"I was hoping to play well tonight but it didn't work out like that," admitted Hawkins. "I'm just pleased to be through to the semi-finals. It was scrappy from the word go, we were both missing pots and couldn't control the white. I just wanted to get the match out of the way.
"It's more mental than technical, my focus wasn't good enough tonight. I'll do some practice tomorrow and try to get my timing back. If I can find my A game then I have got a chance, I need to believe in myself to go out there and play well on the big occasion. There's no getting away from the fact that the draw has opened right up. I could have been playing Judd Trump or David Gilbert but they got knocked out.
"I remember the first time I played Zhao, he beat me 6-1 at the International Championship eight years ago and he potted everything in sight. He was so talented, even back then I knew he was going to do well in the game. It's surprising he has taken so long, but the game is tough and there is a lot to learn. If I have any advantage over him I have to try to use it, but I won't be playing in a negative way, I'll just play my own game."
All this means that, no matter what happens today and tomorrow, we will get a new name on the UK Championship trophy this year.

6 thoughts on "The 2021 UK Championship – The QFs"
I don't think the Zhao-Lisowski match was so poor. Lisowski started strongly, but then lost his sharpness and started missing pots. Zhao played well enough to close him out, and didn't get nervous. If Zhao makes the final, he will displace his best friend Zhou Yuelong in the top-16.
The really poor match was Hawkins-Hicks.
It's great to see they are interviewing Zhao Xintong. They have avoided the Chinese players for a few seasons, which seems ridiculous now, as Zhao's interviews have been perfectly fine. We are finally seeing a change of heart from the broadcasters, perhaps helped by a change of personnel.
Csilla Kiss says:
Is it possible that the Chinese players whom they interview have a better command of English than the ones they did not interview? Therefore they are more willing to speak and interviewing them causes fewer/no difficulties.
There is truth in that Csilla, but for years they just never interviewed them without an interpreter, wether they spoke English or didn't.
Csilla says:
Oh OK. Just because I thought using an interpreter is cumbersome, but if they do it no matter what…
They didn't even interview players like Zhao, Zhou and Xiao who speak perfectly acceptable English, as we have seen. For example, in the Autumn Championship League last year, they interviewed every group winner except the 6 Chinese players. Broadcasters tend to get criticism on their social media when they interview Chinese players, which scares them off. Twitter 'likes' are so important to media…
I didn't ever consider watching the Hawkins v Hickx match.Nothing against either of them, but I knew what the combination of their style would produce and that's not something you fancy when the match actually starts past 9pm in your time zone. Maybe I was expecting too much from the Lisowski v Zhao match, and it probably got better after the MSI.

By Bobby LePire	| January 19, 2021
The title Happy Times is an intentional misnomer. The film starts off with several Israeli-Americans arriving for a dinner party at a palatial estate. But it does not take long for these friends and family members to grate on each other's nerves so much that a fight breaks out. While one of them is knocked out cold, tensions remain high, eventually leading to a death. Will years of pent up hostility and grievances leave anyone alive after the night is over?
Written by Guy Ayal and director Michael Mayer Happy Times takes a good 45-minutes to get going. Before then, the first half is just spent listening to obnoxious, self-obsessed people be obnoxious and self-obsessed, and it is not all that engrossing. See, every character here is so annoying and pretentious that it is a slog to sit through. Once the point of it all is revealed, hating all these people becomes much more fun. As such, Mayer should trim the excess and have the (semi-accidentally) shooting occur 20-25 minutes in, allowing the predicament to throw everyone off.
"…several Israeli-Americans arriving for a dinner party…tensions remain high, eventually leading to a death."
The subsequent fallout, including a visit from the cops (which is poorly handled and inaccurate as it currently stands), be the thrust of forward momentum. But alas, what we have is a flick consisting of two very distinct and uneven halves. Happily, the second half is very strong, with a lot of the biting one-liners and snippy family dialogue morphing into comedically dark situations for everyone at the party. Mayer does bland setups during the dinner party before it goes awry. Once the crap hits the fan, he moves the camera more often, allowing the rage of the characters to be felt in the filmmaking style.
Plus, the entire cast of Happy Times is rather remarkable. While their characters all deserved to be punched upon first meeting them, the actors all deliver. Each of them handles the quick dialogue and switching from English and Hebrew very well. The standouts are Stéfi Celma as Ailyah, whose comedic timing is killer, and Michael Aloni as Michael, who sells the action-horror beats very believably. But the entire cast gets a moment or two to shine and are really fun.
Happy Times will reward patient viewers, as the second half is great (and for those curious, very reminiscent of the brilliant Ready Or Not). But the first 45-minutes will, rightfully so, turn off some audience members, as the characters are hard to empathize with, and it is kind of boring. Luckily, the cast is strong and the direction kinetic, meaning that as frustrating as the movie gets, it is ultimately very worth it.

Add convenience for users to containerize and deploy their Angular application via Docker.

Provide tasks for common Docker workflows:

* Generate starter `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` files.
* Build and Push an Angular app image to a Docker Registry.
* Deploy and run an Angular app container in different Docker Machine environments.

## Requirements

1. Requires user to have Docker CLI tools installed.
   (See also: ["Implementation Approaches"](#implementation-approaches))
1. User is free to use the Angular CLI without Docker (and vice versa). By default, do not generate Docker files upon creation of a new project (`ung new`, `ung init`).
1. Don't recreate the wheel. Docker CLI tools are very full featured on their own. Implement the common Docker use cases that make it convenient for Angular applications.
1. Don't inhibit users from using the standalone Docker CLI tools for other use cases.
1. Assumes 1:1 Dockerfile with the Angular project. Support for multiple services under the same project is outside the scope of this initial design.
1. Generated starter Dockerfile will use an Nginx base image for the default server. The built ung app and Nginx configuration for HTML5 Fallback will be copied into the image.
1. User is free to modify and customize all generated files directly without involvement by the Angular CLI.
1. Image builds will support all Docker build options.
1. Container deploys will support all Docker run options.
1. Deploying to a Docker Machine can be local or remote.
1. Deploys can be made to different environments (dev, stage, prod) on the same or different Docker Machines.
1. Image pushes can be made to Docker Hub, AWS ECR, and other public/private registries.
1. Adhere to [Docker security best practices](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/).
1. Use sensible defaults to make it easy for users to get started.
1. Support `--dry-run` and `--verbose` flags.

## Proposed CLI API

### Overview

Initialize the project for Docker builds and deploys:
```
$ ung docker init [--environment env]
```

Build and push a Docker image of the Angular app to the registry:
```
$ ung docker push [--registry url]
```

Deploy and run the Angular app on a Docker Machine:
```
$ ung docker deploy [--environment env]
```

### Command - Docker Init

The command `ung docker init` generates starter `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`, and `docker-compose.yml` files for builds and and deploys.

Most users will start with one local 'default' Docker Machine (Mac/Win), or a local native Docker environment on Linux, where they will perform builds and run containers for development testing. Without additional arguments, this command prepares the Angular project for working with that default environment.

**Arguments:**

* `--environment {env}` ; initialize for a particular environment (ie. dev, stage, prod). Defaults to `"default"`.
* `--machine {machineName}` ; choose a particular Docker Machine for this environment. Defaults to the environment name.
* `--service-name {serviceName}` ; the name for the webservice that serves the angular application. Defaults to `project.name`
* `--service-port {servicePort}` ; the service port that should be mapped on the host. Defaults to `8000`.
* `--use-image` ; initializes the environment for deploying with an image, rather than performing a build. By default, this is `false` and the `docker-compose.yml` file will be initialized for builds.
* `--image-org {orgName}` ; the org name to use for image pushes. Defaults to `null`.
* `--image-name {imageName}` ; the image name to use for image pushes. Also applies when `--use-image` is `true`. Defaults to `serviceName`.
* `--image-registry {address}` ; the registry address to use for image pushes. Defaults to `registry.hub.docker.com`. Also applies when `--use-image` is `true`.

**Example - Init default environment:**

```bash
$ ung docker:init --image-org my-username

Generated 'Dockerfile'
Generated '.dockerignore'
Generated 'docker-compose.yml'

Docker is ready!

You can build and push a Docker image of your application to a docker registry using:
  $ ung docker push

Build and run your application using:
  $ ung docker deploy
```

**Other requirements:**

If the Docker CLI tools are not found, display an error with instructions on how to install Docker Toolbox. If no Docker Machines are found, display an error with instructions for creating a machine.

The command should verify that the `machineName` is valid, and be able to distinguish whether it is a remote machine or a native local Docker environment (ie. Linux, Docker Native beta).

A notice will be displayed for any files that already exist. No existing files will be overwritten or modified. Users are free to edit and maintain the generated files.

If an `env` name is provided, other than "default", generate compose files with the env name appended, ie. `docker-compose-${env}.yml`.

If `--use-image == false` and the selected machine for the environment is a Docker Swarm machine, warn the user. Docker Swarm clusters cannot use the `build:` option in compose, since the resulting built image will not be distributed to other nodes. Swarm requires using the `image:` option in compose, pushing the image to a registry beforehand so that the Swarm nodes have a place to pull the image from (see [Swarm Limitations](https://docs.docker.com/compose/swarm/#building-images)).

Certain configuration values will be stored in the project's ngConfig `angular-cli.json` for use with other docker commands (ie. deploy, logs, exec). See also: [Saved State](#saved-state) section.

Provide instructions on what the user can do after initialization completes (push, deploy).

Users who do not wish to push images to a registry should not be forced to.

#### Example - `Dockerfile` blueprint

```Dockerfile
# You are free to change the contents of this file
FROM nginx

# Configure for angular fallback routes
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# Copy built app to wwwroot
COPY dist /usr/share/nginx/html
```

#### Example - `.dockerignore` blueprint

```
.git
.gitignore
.env*
node_modules
docker-compose*.yml
```

#### Example - `docker-compose.yml` blueprint

For default case, when `--use-image == false`:

```yaml
version: "2"
services:
  ${serviceName}:
    build: .
    image: ${imageName}
    ports:
      - "${servicePort}:80"
```

When `--use-image == true`:

```yaml
version: "2"
services:
  ${serviceName}:
    image: \${NG_APP_IMAGE}
    ports:
      - "${servicePort}:80"
```

The `\${NG_APP_IMAGE}` is a Compose variable, not an Angilar CLI var. It will be substituted during a `docker deploy` command with an environment variable of the desired tag. (See [Compose Variable Substitution](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#variable-substitution) for more info)

Separate `docker-compose-{environment}.yml` files are used to deploy to different [environments](https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/#example-use-case), for use with the `ung docker deploy` command.

### Command - Docker Push

The command `ung docker push` builds a Docker image of the Angular app from the `Dockerfile`, and pushes the image with a new tag to a registry address.

Example - Build and push (with auth):
```bash
$ ung docker push --tag 1.0.0 --tag-latest
Building image...
Tagging "1.0.0"...
Tagging "latest"
Docker image built! bc2043fdd1e8

Pushing to registry...
> Enter your registry credentials
Username (username):
Password:

Push complete!
my-username/my-ng-app:1.0.0
my-username/my-ng-app:latest
```

#### Arguments

* `--machine {machineName}` ; the Docker Machine to use for the build. Defaults to the "default" environment's `machineName`.
* `--image-org {orgName}` ; the org name to use for image pushes. Defaults to `null`.
* `--image-name {imageName}` ; the image name to use for image pushes. Defaults to `serviceName`.
* `--image-registry {address}` ; the registry address to use for image pushes. Defaults to `registry.hub.docker.com`.
* `--tag {tag}` ; the tag for the newly built image. Defaults to the current `package.json` "version" property value.
* `--tag-latest` ; optionally and additionally apply the "latest" tag. Defaults to `false`.
* `--no-cache` ; do not use cache when building the image. Defaults to `false`.
* `--force-rm` ; always remove intermediate containers. Defaults to `false`.
* `--pull` ; always attempt to pull a newer version of the image. Defaults to `false`.

The `--no-cache`, `--force-rm`, and `--pull` are [compose build options](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/build/).

Try an initial push. If an authentication failure occurs, attempt to login via `docker login`, or with `aws ecr get-login` (if the registry address matches `/\.dkr\.ecr\./`). Proxy the CLI input to the login commands. Avoid storing any authentication values in ngConfig.

The `serviceName`, `registryAddress`, `orgName`, and `imageName` defaults will first be retrieved from ngConfig, which were saved during the initial `ung docker init` command. If any of these values do not exist, warn the user with instructions to add via `ung docker init` or `ung set name=value`.

#### Internal Steps

1. `docker-machine env {machineName}` (if remote)
1. Rebuild app for production
1. `docker-compose build {serviceName}`
1. `docker tag {imageName} {registryAddress}:{orgName}/{imageName}:{imageTag}`
1. `docker push {registryAddress}:{orgName}/{imageName}:{imageTag}`
1. `tag-latest == true` ?
   1. `docker tag {imageName} {registryAddress}:{orgName}/{imageName}:latest`
   1. `docker push {registryAddress}:{orgName}/{imageName}:latest`

### Command - Docker Deploy

The command `ung docker deploy` will deploy an environment's compose configuration to a Docker Machine. It starts the containers in the background and leaves them running.

Consider a command alias: `ung docker run`.

Example - Default environment deploy:
```bash
$ ung docker deploy
Building...
Deploying to default environment...
Deploy complete!
```

Example - Deploying to a named environment, without builds:
```bash
$ ung docker:deploy --environment stage
$ ung docker:deploy --environment prod --tag 1.0.1
```

Example - Deploying a specific service from the compose file:
```bash
$ ung docker deploy --services my-ng-app
```

#### Options

* `--environment {env}` ;
* `--tag {tag}` ; The tag to use whe deploying to non-build Docker Machine environments; Defaults to `package.json` "version" property value.
* `--services {svc1} {svc2} ... {svcN}` ;
* `--no-cache` ; do not use cache when building the image. Defaults to `false`.
* `--force-rm` ; always remove intermediate containers. Defaults to `false`.
* `--pull` ; always attempt to pull a newer version of the image. Defaults to `false`.
* `--force-recreate` ; recreate containers even if their configuration and image haven't changed. Defaults to `false`.
* `--no-recreate` ; if containers already exist, don't recreate them. Defaults to `false`.

The `--services` option allows for specific services to be deployed. By default, all services within the corresponding compose file will be deployed.

The `--no-cache`, `--force-rm`, and `--pull` are [compose build options](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/build/).

The `--force-recreate`, `--no-recreate` are [compose up options](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/up/).

Successive deploys should only restart the updated services and not affect other existing running services.

> If there are existing containers for a service, and the service's configuration or image was changed after the container's creation, docker-compose up picks up the changes by stopping and recreating the containers (preserving mounted volumes). To prevent Compose from picking up changes, use the --no-recreate flag.

Use the `tag` value for the `${NG_APP_IMAGE_TAG}` environment variable substitution in the compose file.

Use the `env` value to namespace the `--project-name` of the container set, for use with docker-compose when using different environment deploys on the same Docker Machine. (See also: [Compose overview](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/overview/))

#### Internal Steps

1. `docker-machine env {machineName}` (if remote)
1. `--use-image == true` ?
   1. `export NG_APP_IMAGE={registryAddress}:{orgName}/{imageName}:{tag}`
   1. `docker-compose up -d [services]`
1. `--use-image == false` ?
   1. Rebuild app for production
   1. `docker-compose build {serviceName}`
   1. `docker-compose up -d [services]`

## Saved State

Example ngConfig model for saved docker command state (per project):
```
{
  docker: {
    orgName: 'myusername',
    imageName: 'ngapp',
    registryAddress: 'registry.hub.docker.com',
    environments: {
      default: {
        machineName: 'default',
        isImageDeploy: false,
        serviceName: 'ngapp'
      },
      stage: {
        machineName: 'stage',
        isImageDeploy: true,
        serviceName: 'ngapp'
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Other Enhancements

* Ability to list the configured deploy environments.
* Autocomplete environment names for `ung docker deploy`.
* New command wrappers for `docker-compose logs`, and `docker exec` commands.
* Create an Angular development environment image with everything packaged inside. Users can run the container with local volume mounts, and toolset will watch/rebuild for local file changes. Only requires Docker to be installed to get started with Angular development. There are some Node.js complexities to solve when adding new package.json dependencies, and many users report issues with file watchers and docker volume mounts.
* Deployment support to other container scheduling systems: Kubernetes, Marathon/Mesos, AWS ECS and Beanstalk, Azure Service Fabric, etc.

## Appendix

### Implementation Approaches

Two internal implementation approaches to consider when interfacing with Docker from Node.js:

1. Docker Remote API via Node.js modules
1. Docker CLI tools via `child_process.exec`

#### Docker Remote API

<https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api/>

> The API tends to be REST. However, for some complex commands, like attach or pull, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport stdout, stdin and stderr.

The API has been going through a high rate of change and has some awkward inconsistencies:

> Build Image: reply is chunked into JSON objects like {"stream":"data"} and {"error":"problem"} instead of multiplexing stdout and stderr like the rest of the API.

Example Image Build with `dockerode` module:

```js
var Docker = require('dockerode');
var tar = require('tar-fs');

var docker = new Docker({
    host: options.dockerHostIp,
    port: options.dockerPort || 2375,
    ca: fs.readFileSync(`${options.dockerCertPath}/ca.pem`),
    cert: fs.readFileSync(`${options.dockerCertPath}/cert.pem`),
    key: fs.readFileSync(`${options.dockerCertPath}/key.pem`)
});
var buildImagePromise = Promise.denodeify(docker.buildImage);
var tarStream = tar.pack(project.root);

buildImagePromise(tarStream, {
    t: options.imageName
}).then((output) => {
    var imageHash = output.match(/Successfully built\s+([a-f0-9]+)/m)[1];
    ui.writeLine(chalk.green(`Docker image built! ${imageHash}`));
});
```

Tradeoffs with this approach:

* Does not require Docker CLI tools to be installed.
* Requires cert files for access to remote Docker Machines.
* Programmatic interface.
* Requires more configuration on the part of Angular CLI.
* Configuration imposes a learning curve on existing Docker users.
* No Docker-Compose API support. Multi-container management features would need to be duplicated.
* Maintenance effort to keep API updated.
* Dependent upon 3rd-party Docker module support, or creating our own.

#### Execute Docker CLI Commands

This method wraps the following Docker CLI tools with `exec()` calls, formatting the command arguments and parsing their output:

* `docker-machine` : Used to initialize the `docker` client context for communication with a specific Docker Machine host, and for gathering host information (IP address).
* `docker` : The primary Docker client CLI. Good for pushing images to a registry.
* `docker-compose` : Manages multi-container deployments on a Docker Machine using a YAML format for defining container options. Can also be used to build images.

Example image build with `docker-machine` and `docker-compose` CLI commands:

```js
var execPromise = Promise.denodeify(require('child_process').exec);

function getDockerEnv(machineName) {
    return execPromise(`docker-machine env ${machineName}`)
        .then((stdout) => {
            let dockerEnv = {};
            stdout.split(/\r?\n/)
                .forEach((line) => {
                    let m = line.match(/^export\s+(.+?)="(.*?)"$/);
                    if (m) dockerEnv[m[1]] = m[2];
                });
            return dockerEnv;
        });
}

function buildImage() {
    return getDockerEnv(options.buildMachineName)
        .then((dockerEnv) => {
            let execOptions = {
                cwd: project.root,
                env: dockerEnv
            };
            return execPromise(`docker-compose build ${options.dockerServiceName}`, execOptions);
        })
        .then((stdout) => {
            var imageHash = stdout.match(/Successfully built\s+([a-f0-9]+)/m)[1];
            ui.writeLine(chalk.green(`Docker image built! ${imageHash}`));
            return imageHash
        });
}
```

Tradeoffs with this approach:

* Requires user to manually install Docker CLI tools
* Must build interface around CLI commands, formatting the command arguments and parsing the output.
* Can leverage Docker-Compose and its configuration format for multi-container deploys.
* Configuration of build and deploy options is simplified in Angular CLI.
* User has the flexibility of switching between `ng` commands and Docker CLI tools without having to maintain duplicate configuration.
* Lower risk of Docker compatibility issues. User has control over their Docker version.

#### Summary

The "2. Docker CLI tools via `child_process.exec`" method is recommended based on the following:

* The requirement of having the Docker CLI tools installed is not generally a problem, and they would likely already be installed by the majority of users using these features.
* Maintenance to Angular CLI would likely be easier using the Docker CLI, having less configuration, documentation, and updates than the Remote API method.
* Multi-container deploys is a common use-case. Utilizing the Docker Compose features, format, and documentation is a big win.
* Since this project is a CLI itself, using the Docker CLI tools isn't too far a leap.
* Users who do not use these features are not forced to install Docker CLI. Conversely, the Remote API method might incur a small penalty of installing unused NPM modules (ie. `dockerode`).

The history of water supply in Flanders dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when typhus and cholera claimed thousands of lives in our regions. This was also driven by the increasing industrialisation and the associated contamination of well and river water, in combination with poor hygiene.
The then French government, which had conquered Belgium at the end of the 18th century, therefore decided to take action. The decree of 14 December 1789 and the laws of 16 and 24 August 1790 required the municipalities to take measures towards preventing epidemics and livestock diseases. The government thus shifted the responsibility for public drinking water to the municipalities. The Belgian government enshrined this responsibility in the Municipal Act in 1836.
In practice, this Act was hardly ever implemented. The majority of municipalities in fact lacked the financial resources and technical know-how to fulfil this mission. It is therefore not surprising that the industrialised cities were the first to proceed with the construction of municipal water distribution systems - Brussels (1858), Liege (1863), Verviers (1878)..., - driven mainly by economic considerations. In rural areas, by contrast, there were hardly any municipal initiatives. This led the government in 1907 to create the possibility of establishing intermunicipal companies for water distribution. This resulted in the creation of, among others, the Provincial and Intermunicipal Drinking Water Company of the Province of Antwerp (PIDPA) and the Intermunicipal Company of Flanders for Water Supply (TMVW).
When 6 years later these, too, were found not to produce the desired result, the government decided to take action itself. In 1913, the National Water Company (NMDW) was established by law. Its remit was to intervene in those areas where no municipal initiative was forthcoming. The historical mission of the NMDW was to supply sufficient, high-quality and affordable drinking water, also in the remotest regions of the country.
The first Flemish municipalities to join the NMDW included Eeklo, Aarschot and a number of municipalities in southeast Limburg. At the start of World War II, 180 municipalities had joined the NMDW. The NMDW experienced rapid growth, especially after World War II. In 1950, 293 municipalities were members of the NMDW and 1.2 million customers were supplied by the NMDW. In 1970, the NMDW had 3.8 million customers, almost exclusively in rural municipalities and smaller towns that did not have the financial resources to organise their own hygienic water supply.
As part of the state reform of 1980, the authority for the supply of drinking water was passed on to the regions. The NMDW's task was taken over by new companies: the Société Wallonne des Eaux (Walloon Water Distribution Company, SWDE) for the Walloon Region and the Vlaamse Maatschappij voor Watervoorziening (Flemish Water Distribution Company, VMW) for the Flemish Region. The VMW was established by decree of 28 June 1983 as a limited liability cooperative partnership. The capital was provided by the Flemish Region, the provinces of Brabant, Limburg, Antwerp, East Flanders and West Flanders, and by the affiliated municipalities.
The Government of Flanders approved the VMW's articles of association on 17 July 1985. The amendments were approved by decision of 21 April 1993. From 1987, the VMW de facto assumed the rights and obligations of the NMDW for the Flemish part of the country.
Over the past century we have evolved from a traditional drinking water company to an integrated water company providing services throughout the entire water chain. In addition to drinking water, the focus in recent years has been increasingly on wastewater and industrial water. As a result, the name 'Flemish Water Supply Company' was no longer accurate and in 2013 it was changed to 'De Watergroep' (The Water Group), together with a new mission: We supply a range of customised water solutions. Today, for tomorrow's generation.

Indiana Line to marka o włoskim rodowodzie, istniejąca w branży audio od 1977 roku. Nazwa marki nawiązuje do jej korzeni, które sięgają znacznie dalej, bo do lat 60. XX w., kiedy to przedsiębiorstwo Selectra współpracowało z Utah – amerykańskim producentem sprzętu hi-fi (Utah to także region w USA, w którym obecność plemion indiańskich jest najbardziej skoncentrowana). Działania po Selectrze przejął Alcor, a kiedy Utah upadła, jej miejsce zajęła nowa marka, którą w nawiązaniu do dotychczasowych działań postanowiono nazwać Indiana Line. Nazwa ta miała również nawiązywać do jakości przypisywanej wówczas anglosaskim komponentom.

Hasłem przewodnim marki Indiana Line od wielu lat jest "Suono Puro", co z języka włoskiego można tłumaczyć jako "czysty dźwięk".

Historia marki Indiana Line

Początki Indiana Line, czyli Selectra
Początek marce Indiana Line dała spółka Selectra – właściciel marki Revac – która importowała do Włoch głośniki amerykańskiej marki Utah. Co warte podkreślenia, wówczas zamiast kompletnych produktów, chętniej importowano części. Było to bardziej opłacalne niż sprowadzanie gotowych modeli, natomiast składanie kolumn odbywało się już na miejscu – we Włoszech.

Przejęcie produkcji przez Alcor
Po upadku Utah, która nie była w stanie zapewnić odpowiedniego poziomu cen w swoim kraju, pałeczkę od Selectry przejęła spółka Alcor. Postanowiła ona kontynuować produkcję sprzętu. Oprócz importu podzespołów do kolumn głośnikowych na Półwysep Apeniński, opracowywała także nowe konstrukcje – już nie jako Utah, a pod nową marką – Indiana Line.

Pierwsze modele w ofercie
Jednymi z pierwszych modeli dostępnych pod szyldem Indiana Line były Mini xa, 1xa, 2x, 3xa, 4xa i BMx. W modelach z serii xa wykorzystano kopułkę wysokotonową Phenolic Ring Dome. Kolumny te charakteryzowały się wyrównanym brzmieniem, dużą efektywnością oraz niskimi zniekształceniami. Ich sukces był na tyle duży, że Alcor zrezygnowała całkowicie z głośników marki Utah i postanowiła wykorzystywać te projektowane wyłącznie we Włoszech i sygnowane logo Indiana Line.

Marka pod egidą Coral Electronic
Indiana Line została przejęta w 2006 roku przez koncern Coral Electronic z siedzibą w Turynie, założony w 1975 r. przez Włocha, Eugenio Musso. Coral Electronic to nie tylko domowy sprzęt audio. Spółka ta znana była także w branży głośników samochodowych.

Przejęcie to okazało się przysłowiowym kamieniem milowym w rozwoju marki Indiana Line. To m.in. zasługa bogatego doświadczenia Coral Electronic w branży elektroniki użytkowej. Pod egidą Coral Electronic marka Indiana Line rozwinęła skrzydła i powiększyła ofertę produktową o konkurencyjne modele, zaprojektowane osobiście przez właściciela i jednocześnie inżyniera Eugenio Musso, zgodnie z hasłem przewodnim marki – "Suono Puro".

Indiana Line obecnie
Od początku istnienia marki jej oferta jest sukcesywnie powiększana. W drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku pod marką Indiana Line pojawiły się stereofoniczne komponenty audio (linia Puro). Aktualnie oferta marki oparta jest wyłącznie na kolumnach głośnikowych i głośnikach instalacyjnych.

W ostatnich latach ofertę Indiana Line wzbogaciły m.in. nowe modele z serii Diva. W 2017 roku oferta tej linii kolumn głośnikowych powiększyła się o model Diva 660. Jednym z najnowszych modeli dostępnych pod marką Indiana Line jest natomiast podłogowa kolumna głośnikowa Tesi 561 w białej wersji kolorystycznej .

Trzon najnowszej oferty marki Indiana Line stanowią trzy linie produktowe – Diva, Tesi i Nota, które umożliwiają stworzenie systemu stereo lub zestawu kina domowego. Oprócz tego w ofercie dostępne są kolumny z linii DJ, przeznaczone głównie do nagłośnienia większych powierzchni, a także subwoofery Basso. Ofertę uzupełniają głośniki instalacyjne.

Pomimo zmian właścicielskich inżynier Eugenio Musso nadal uczestniczy w rozwoju kolejnych modeli Indiana Line, sprawując pieczę nad dedykowanym zespołem R&D.

Technologie wykorzystywane przez Indiana Line
Indiana Line w swoich kolumnach stosuje różnorodne rozwiązania techniczne, które odpowiadają nie tylko za jakość poszczególnych produktów, ale także za ich brzmienie. Możemy tutaj wyróżnić, takie rozwiązania jak:

 radialna komora tłumiąca (Radialvent) – rozwiązanie stosowane w wypadku przetwornika wysokotonowego, którego celem jest zapobieganie generowaniu niepożądanych odbić pod kopułką tweetera,
 Aluring – wykonany z aluminium tzw. pierścień zwarciowy, który znajduje się w układzie magnetycznym woofera i pochłania ciepło wytwarzane przez cewkę przetwornika. Jego zastosowanie pozytywnie wpływa na brzmienie niskich i średnich tonów,
 membrana Curv (Curv cone) – membrana przetwornika o stosunkowo niewielkiej masie, wykonana z materiału o nazwie Curv (kompozytu polipropylenowego), który powstaje przez odpowiednie formowanie termiczne włókien o dużej sztywności, a tym samym o dużym tłumieniu wewnętrznym,
 floating tweeter – głośnik wysokotonowy, dla którego zastosowano tzw. pływające mocowanie ze specjalną podkładką izolacyjną. Rozwiązanie to pomaga redukować drgania, które mogą być przenoszone z obudowy na tweeter,
 DomHorn – falowodowa konstrukcja przetwornika wysokotonowego, która umożliwia uzyskanie czystego brzmienia przy zachowaniu dużej skuteczności kolumny głośnikowej,
 membrana z miki i polipropylenu (mica-polypropylene cone) – membrana przetwornika wykonana z polipropylenu z domieszką miki, co pozwoliło na zwiększenie sztywności tego elementu, a przy tym poprawiło precyzję przetwarzania dźwięku,
 poliestrowa włóknina tłumiąca (100% poliester damping) – wypełnienie wnętrza kolumny głośnikowej poliestrem zapewnia duże tłumienie wewnętrzne, a tym samym pozwala zredukować niepożądane rezonanse pochodzące od obudów głośnikowych,
 obudowa MDF z poprzecznymi wzmocnieniami – skutecznie tłumi wibracje, a dodatkowe, poprzeczne wzmocnienia zwiększają skuteczność redukcji rezonansów,
 cewki powietrzne i kondensatory foliowe (air coils and film capacitors) – elementy te stosowane są w filtrze głośnika wysokotonowego, używanego w większości produkowanych obecnie kolumn Indiana Line. Rozwiązanie to zwiększa wyrazistość w zakresie wysokich częstotliwości, co przekłada się na czyste i naturalne brzmienie.

Indiana Line – strona internetowa marki
W sierpniu 2022 roku wystartowała nowa strona marki Indiana Line, której generalnym dystrybutorem jest obecnie spółka Audio Klan sp.j. z siedzibą w Warszawie.

Na stronie WWW, oprócz informacji o głośnikach i kolumnach głośnikowych Indiana Line, można znaleźć porady związane z systemami audio stereo i kina domowego.

As much as I was hoping to get up at the first signs of daylight, we slept in til about 7:45…and within 15 minutes, we were checking out of that hell hole Red Lion Inn. Since we had another long day ahead of us and we were already in the hotel, we decided to use our breakfast voucher to grab a larger bite to eat, (you would think at this point we had learned our lesson about this place… apparently not).
As we made our way into the restaurant area for breakfast, I started investigating the breakfast options to see what may be least likely to be quick, safe option. Pete went with cereal and some oatmeal, I thought I'd be safe with a bagel and coffee, but alas, I was wrong. I put the bagel in the toaster and got myself a cup of coffee. When the bagel was ready, I started to take it out of the toaster when I realized it was burning hot. I immediately half tossed the bagel in the air, which first fell on my thumb, (to which now I can credit have a permanent 1st degree burn scar), and landed on the plate. I had enough. We quickly devoured our food and ran out of there to head back out to 4 Corners.
Such a difference between nigh & day with no lights!
We got back on Route 64 to 160, the same two way road as the night before only the scenery looked much nicer in the daylight hours. We made it back into Arizona and saw the 'Four Corners Monument' sign again and open for business. It cost $3 per person to enter, which I thought it was a very reasonable price to see a cool landmark. Since it was early in the morning and past the peak season, there was us and about two other families visiting, perfect to walk around and take as many '4 Square' photos as we wanted.
Four Corners! We made it!
Pete making his way to all 4 states!
Me & Pete doing our versions of being in 4 places at once!
All 4 states in 1 place!
After taking a few photos of me and Pete being in 4 places at once, I started walking around and talking with the Navajo people and of course, snagging a few pieces of jewelry and different goodies. I figured it really was the only place I could get a 4 Corners bracelet and necklace set, (and for only $10 handmade…I'll take a few more pieces as well!) Everyone there was very nice, so after a few more goodies purchased, I walked out of the "square area" and viewed more of the magnificent land the Southwest and Navajo Nation had to offer. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have the amazing mountains as my backyard or having a few wild mustangs roaming around, (which we saw, but couldn't get a good picture).
After a short while, it was time get back on the road and head on out to Flagstaff, Arizona for our next stop, the Grand Canyon. From 4 Corners to Flagstaff was about another 5 hour trip, but this time we got on the road early, so getting to Flagstaff at a reasonable time was almost a guarantee.
Halfway on our trip, we stopped at Tuba City to grab a bite to eat Tuuvi Café, where we each got a sandwich with Fry Bread (a local thing?). It was amazing doing all this driving and only seeing towns scattered about and nothing but beautiful mountains as your background, so much different on the east coast and Boston.
More views from the road!
We got to Flagstaff around 4pm (still light outside!) and stared to search for a hotel room. Although I like to look for independent hotels/inns/B&B's, after our horrendous experience with Red Lion Inn, we decided to stick with the national chains and chose Holiday Inn Express right off the highway but very close to Route 66. Compared to where we stayed the night before, the Holiday Inn Express did not disappoint us- comfy beds, clean shower and a great to just relax for a bit before we headed out for some dinner.
After a much needed rest, we decided to venture out to see Flagstaff and find a place for dinner. Along the way in search of dinner, we found ourselves driving on the famous Route 66; with all the old-time hotels and diners all lit up, it was quite a scene, (another add on the 'to-do next time' list of driving the entire Route 66 road from Chicago to Los Angeles!).
Mother Road Altitude Alpine Ale!
We ended up at Altitudes Bar & Grill just off Route 66, a Ski Lodge themed restaurant, (do people ski in Flagstaff or in Arizona?! I thought it was hot, dessert and Grand Canyon?). It was around 7 at this point and I was very excited to sit, have a few beers and food and watch the Red Sox Game 1 of the World Series!... that was the plan…until I realized it was 7pm Mountain Time and about 10pm Eastern Time, needless to say, it was already the 8th inning… at least we won!
We finished up dinner and headed back to the hotel for a much need good night's sleep…with both eyes closed this time...because tomorrow was going to be yet another long yet marvelous day on this already incredible cross country adventure!

A photographer puts the gloves and helmet of a motorcyclist next to a baby's head. What's behind this idea is a heartbreaker
Kim Stone is a well-known photographer from Florida, who captures the happy and exciting moments in the lives of many people. The woman has already taken many fantastic photos, but this photo shoot will certainly be remembered for a long time.
Kim's neighbor had recently asked her to photograph her newborn granddaughter Aubrey. The girl would never meet her father, because he died four weeks before her birth. 25-year-old Hector loved to ride motorcycles and his relatives wanted his belongings to be in the photos.
I wrapped the baby in a blanket, which was made by her grandmother. Next to her head I laid her father's helmet and gloves. The girl began to laugh. I grabbed my camera and instantly captured the moment in the form of a photograph. Kathryn – the child's mother stood behind me and cried.
Over 350 thousand people liked this moving photograph on Kim's page. Internet users expressed their feelings and condolences to the family of the deceased in the comments below the photo.
I took a screenshot to show it to Aubrey one day. The support of strangers gave me a bit of peace and made me cry less – said Kathryn, who was moved emotionally.

West Virginia Deed of Trust and Promissory Note
Select County where the property is located.
Brooke County
Hampshire County
Roane County
West Virginia Deed of Trust and Promissory Note Information
There are three parties in this Deed of Trust:
1- The Trustor (Borrower)
2- Beneficiary (Lender) and a
3- Trustee (Neutral Third Party)
Basic Concept. The Trustor (Borrower) conveys property title to a Trustee (Neutral Party). A Trustee or beneficiary/Lender can take action against any person for damages.
In West Virginia, a Deed of Trust (DOT) is the most commonly used instrument to secure a loan. If the DOT has a "Power of Sale" clause, foreclosure can be done non-judicially, saving time and expense, because the trustee doesn't require the court's involvement. This process is called a Trustee Sale. Explained in WV Statute 38-1-3. "Sales under trust deeds."
Proceeds of Trustee Sale: After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this trust, including the cost of evidence of title in connection with the sale and reasonable attorney's fees, trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums then secured hereby and all other sums due under the terms hereof, with accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, to the persons legally entitled thereto or as provided by W. VA. ARTICLE 1, 38-1-7.
(38-1-2. Form of deed of trust; memorandum of deed of trust may be recorded.) This Form is fully formatted for W.VA. recording requirements.
Promissory Note secured by Deed of Trust.
In general, the lender can charge 6% with no written contract and 8% with a written contract. Exceptions are made, see W. VA. Statute 47-6-5, "Legal rate of interest".
A- Principle Owed and Maturity Date of Loan
B- Payments - Traditional Installment or installments with a Balloon Payment.
C- Late Payments: So much $ owed after X number of days, plus $ for each day after.
D- Default Rate: If payment is at least 30 days past due, then the principal balance shall bear interest at default rate of $$$.
E- Overdue Loan Fee: In addition to any other remedies available to Lender if this Note is not paid in full at the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender an Overdue Loan Fee.
F- Default Terms: If any of the following events of default occur, this Note and any other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, shall become due immediately, without demand or notice:
1) the failure of the Borrower to pay the principal and any accrued interest when due;
2) the filing of bankruptcy proceedings involving the Borrower as a debtor;
3) the application for the appointment of a receiver for the Borrower;
4) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of the Borrower's creditors;
5) the insolvency of the Borrower;
6) a misrepresentation by the Borrower to the Lender for the purpose of obtaining or extending credit.
7) In addition, the Borrower shall be in default if there is a sale, transfer, assignment, or any other disposition of any real estate pledged as collateral for the payment of this Note, or if there is a default in any security agreement which secures this Note.
G- Venue: If legal action is required, Lender provides the County of such actions.
This package can be used for financing of residential property, a condominium, a small office building and rental property (up to 4 units). A Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust with strong default terms can be beneficial to the Lender. This form has terms and conditions defined by W. VA. Statutes, for use in W. VA only.
Deeds.com West Virginia Deed of Trust and Promissory Note Forms Have Been Updated as Recently as Friday January 7, 2022
What others like you are saying:
Shane T. said: The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements. There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property" The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway. The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.) It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.

British royals to attend Gallipoli commemoration ceremonies in Britain, Turkey
by Merve Aydoğan
by Merve Aydoğan Mar 06, 2015 12:00 am
According to a press release from the British Monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II, and the Duke of Edinburgh will attend a wreath-laying ceremony in London while Prince Charles and his son Prince Harry are to attend the commemoration ceremonies in Turkey marking the 100th anniversary of the World War I Battle of Gallipoli on April 25. While the Gülen Movement-affiliated daily Today's Zaman recently claimed that the commemorations have been cancelled due to low anticipated participation from the countries invited, Prince Charles and Harry are reported to be attending both the dawn service at Anzac Cove and the ceremony at Lone Pine on the morning of April 25. They will also attend other events in Turkey on April 24.
Presidential Spokesman İbrahim Kalın stated during a press conference in late February that, "There is more participation and confirmation of attendance than expected, and it is continuing still. The commemorations will be prepared in line to honor our martyrs as Turkey is marking the 100th anniversary of the World War I Battle of Gallipoli." Regarding the allegations of poor attendance, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgiç, also said on February 22 that all preparations were continuing as planned and the claims were fabricated.
The commemoration ceremonies in Turkey marking the 100th anniversary of the World War I Battle of Gallipoli are set to take place this year on April 23-24, dates confirmed by both Presidential and Prime Ministry sources. According to official sources, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Ministry of National Defense to begin preparations for the ceremonies in which representatives from 77 countries are expected to attend.
