Abercrombie & Fitch Aftershave & Men's Fragrance
Abercrombie & Fitch is a leading American-born fashion and fragrance retailer for men that targets a very specific, trendy, modern, upcoming cross section of the population – namely those who are 18 – 22 years old. The company was originally established in 1892 in New York City and has since become renowned worldwide with a total of 1055 stores spanning all over Europe, the majority being in the USA and most recently an expansion into Asia, with stores in Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Abercrombie & Fitch have 3 concept brands encompassing several areas of fashion and fragrance, apart from its birth name that are referred to as subsidiaries amongst men's clothing but in fact operate under the same umbrella: Hollister Co. is the largest of the brands and is based on a 'southern Californian' image and is aimed at teenagers 14 through 18, with prices lowers than those of its parent brand and 578 stores worldwide. Abercrombie Kids was introduced in 1998 with the aim of attracting a younger audience to the brand – it currently has 160 stores internationally and targets consumers aged 7 to 14. The final part of the umbrella is made up by Gilly Hicks, who is known as the 'cheeky cousin' of Abercrombie & Fitch and who's theme was originally inspired by the phrase "Down Under" and currently has 28 stores worldwide that offers lounge wear and underwear to women for ages 18 and up.
The signature scent of Abercrombie & Fitch 'Fierce' was first launched in 2002 and is a leading men's fragrance. As we many areas with this brand, the scent does not come without controversy – in 2009 Abercrombie & Fitch filed a law suit against Beyonce Knowles when she launched her scent 'Sasha Fierce', claiming that it infringed the trademark of its very own aftershave 'Fierce'. Other popular scents include 41 Cologne (2007), Colden (2009), the newest fragrance Abercrombie HOT (2013) and the re-branded original cologne Woods from 1990.
Abercrombie & Fitch have never been shy of the spotlight, often sparking negativity and this is no less true for their marketing and branding campaigns. Unlike most other men's fashion labels, Abercrombie & Fitch will only use models who work for them and have a lengthy selection process for the privilege. Famous successful models from the past have included Channing Tatum (US Actor), Jeremy Bloom (11 times gold medallist in men's freestyle skiing), Brandon Jones (US Actor) and Tom Welling (US Actor).

Principal Financial Group® recognized as a climate change leader with A- rating from CDP
Principal Financial Group® has again achieved Leadership status for environmental stewardship from CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, after receiving an A- rating on its 2020 CDP Climate Change Report.
The Leadership designation from CDP is for organizations implementing current best practices in areas such as climate risk management, emissions reductions initiatives and standards, energy efficiency, and environmental governance. It's the eighth straight year Principal® has achieved Leadership status, placing the company in the top 35% of all global financial services firms reviewed by CDP, which collectively averaged a B rating in 2020.
"Principal takes its responsibility to support our environment seriously, viewing it as an extension of one of our core values: do what's right," said Kevin Farley, vice president of enterprise worksite services for Principal Financial Group. "We take great pride in our environmental awareness and action programs and remain committed to maintaining a long-term leadership role in environmental transparency and action."
Principal earned an A in five of the 11 categories scored by CDP and at least a B in five others. The company scored above the benchmark average for participating financial services companies in nine of the 11 categories. The high marks reflect its focus to reduce its carbon footprint, use energy and water efficiently, and minimize waste while encouraging and supporting environmentally responsible behaviors with employees, stakeholders, and suppliers.
Key environmental milestones achieved by Principal that contributed to its 2020 CDP Climate Change rating include:
Reducing GHG emissions by 40% over the last 10 years, which surpassed the company goal of 30% set in 2010.
Aligning with recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
Expanding its Pillars of Responsible Property Investing program to further reduce energy, waste, and water consumption within the property investment portfolio of Principal Real Estate Investors.
Utilizing LEED and ENERGY STAR® certifications to help ensure efficient and healthy work environments for Principal employees across 84% (approximately 2.1 million square feet) of its U.S.-owned office portfolio.
Diverting 64% of office waste in 2019, which included processing 25 tons of compostable material after converting to fully compostable food containers and implementing a composting program for food prep areas in all cafeterias and the customer area of the largest café.
CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs the global disclosure system for environmental stewardship and reporting. Each year, CDP supports thousands of companies, cities, states, and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security, and deforestation at the request of investors, purchasers, and city stakeholders.
Over 9,600 companies representing more than 50% of global market capitalization disclosed through CDP in 2020, which was the 20th year it has conducted its report. Using its independent methodology, organizations were scored based upon the information supplied in CDP's annual reporting process. Each company's awareness of climate change issues, management methods, and best practices associated with environmental leadership (such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets) were assessed, as was the level of detail and comprehensiveness of the content provided.

Elizabeth is a healer, an educator, a story teller, and is passionate about helping others be their best selves. When Elizabeth was a little girl others used to tell her about their most painful, personal stories.
In her late teens she lost her grandmother to uterine cancer and nearly lost her own womb in her 20's to server cervical dysplasia. On top of all that, she also had PCOS, constant constipation, and a retroverted (backwards) uterus. Today all of those issues are healed and she has learned amazing tools along the way healing herself and working with her many clients for over 15 years in some top wellness clinics around New Zealand and now Australia.
Today with a multitude of body work and other wellness health practitioner certifications (remedial massage, energy medicine, pelvic floor care, doula, and abdominal therapies to name a few..) and over 15 years of in clinical experience on the front lines of wellness, Elizabeth is prepared to assist with most physical/structural issues.
She is specialized in abdominal and pelvic care, and one of the few teachers world wide in Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy and The Gentling Way™. Elizabeth calls herself a Womb Wangler™, meaning she is trained to help gently and firmly reposition the womb in it's proper location, when it may have wandered to some where not so comfortable with in the pelvic space such as squishing one's bladder, leaning back too far, or leaning directly on blood vessels and nerves, causing mischief/discomfort within the body….
Whether someone comes in with a retro-version, painful endometriosis adhesion's, random unexplained belly pain or anything else that can happen with the womb out of proper position, Elizabeth maybe one of your best options for assistance.
She is gifted in unlocking adhesion's and restrictions in the abdomen, back, and sacrum helping others live pain free/ physically free lives. It's worth noting, belly work is also great to help release stress, trauma and PTSD in the body, all of which Elizabeth is very experienced with, with men, women and children. When the belly is free, often the mind and rest of the body follow as well.
In her personal time Elizabeth enjoys learning, being in nature, and studying martial arts.
5 years experience holding workshops, public talks and demonstrations, including holding 2.5 day long workshops and group teaching of over 200 participants.
Field and lab tech in the jungles of Puerto Rico, and 3 years experience working in a laboratory environment.
Basic film and professional audio recording, directing & editing.
Swim team, and open water swimming, 3 years experience.
Familiar with horses, English riding training, 15+ years exp.
Familiar with basic farm practices and plants, including some landscaping .
Extensive world travel and work.
I'm a dynamic, curious, and adventurous person. I really love learning about new things, new people and new places. From an early age I was both fascinated and drawn into healing arts and drawn to many healers and schools. I was the little girl in school that the psychics, shy, abused/hurt or misunderstood came to. I've heard so many stories from others my whole life. Actually people still feel compelled to tell me their stories, even strangers on the street. I've also had people and animals my whole life want to sit in my company and receive touch, even though I like to keep to my own space too.
Personally, from early on, I was plagued by digestive issues and later female issues, to even issues with my pelvic floor in my 20's that required surgery. I've had pcos, painful periods, a retro-verted uterus, and chronic constipation throughout most of my adult life. I needed healing as much as those seeking my time and care. Fast forward many life experiences, a few surgeries and many trainings and certifications later, and I now find myself in Australia, at the Life Alignment Center in Brisbane. I'm from the USA, have lived in New Zealand for 5.5 years and this March 2019, I am about to call Brisbane my new home. In a previous, life (not talking past lives here, just what I did before I became a full time healer :-)) I have been a circus performer (I will always love and be drawn to the arts, all kinds) to managing the shipping of containers and factory inspections, relationships and project coordination between Chinese and USA firms. However, no matter what industry I have worked in, or what I have done in the past, I have always been driven to leave people and places better than they were found.
Now, with all my previous health issues, listed above (my uterus now sits forward in the correct position), healed through all the tools, trainings and learning's, I've been through, I now focus on helping others achieve their best wellness. I'm passionate about others being their best selves even if that means I need to move people along to someone else better qualified to help in the moment. Because I am well connected in the health industry and have had so many experiences and exposures, I quite often know the next best person or program to help people along in their journey.
The Gentling Way chose me and now I choose it. It's an integrated whole life approach system / conglomeration of many modalities and wise way traditions that is both gentle and holistic. I love how this process includes and incorporates body, mind, and spirit. We are an ecosystem as an organism and quite often, especially with today's constant 'new' health disease or crisis popping up, the best way to return to health is to look at all areas of one's life to find the solution(s). I love how this modality is gentle and goes at each person's own pace, no forcing or pushing, which in my experience forcing quite often causes more issues! We can only heal as fast as we are able and that process is unique for each person. I have found the Gentling Way the fastest, safest way to help clients return to their balanced, natural well state of being and results tend to be more permanent, especially with client compliance to lifestyle upgrade suggestions and continued self care on the client's part.

Police Intimidating Azat Miftakhov's Family into Testifying

Police Pressuring Azat Miftakhov's Family to Testify
OVD Info
During an interview at the Nizhnekamsk police department, police officers promised Moscow State University (MSU) graduate student Azat Miftakhov's stepfather problems if he did not testify and submit Miftakhov's younger sister, who is finishing ninth grade, to routine monitoring by the police, OVD Info has learned from the MSU Pressure Group.
Svetlana Sidorkina, Miftakhov's defense counsel, corroborated the news. According to her, the police want Miftakhov's family to testify. Sidorkina underscored that Miftakhov's mother, stepfather, and sister have the right not to testify since they are close relatives.
Azat Miftakhov is a suspect in a criminal case involving a broken window at a United Russia party office.
According to the MSU Pressure Group, police officers visited the Miftakhov family home on June 6, telling them to come to the police station for an interview. As they were leaving, they hinted Miftakhov was guilty. Subsequently, police officers telephoned the Miftakhovs several times, demanding they report to the police station.
On June 10, during the interview, police officers showed Miftakhov's stepfather a video in which his younger sister is seen pasting stickers in his defense. The police officers demanded that the girl stop supporting her brother overtly. Otherwise, she would have problems at school, and they would make a habit of detaining her, summon her for interviews, and put her on their routine monitoring list.
Miftakhov's stepfather was asked by the police officers how long he had known his stepson, how often he visited Nizhnekamsk, and what people in Moscow the family members were in contact regarding the criminal case.
After the interview, a police officer telephoned Miftakhov's mother, apologized for taking to her in a raised voice, and hinted at her son's guilt. He demanded that she stop communicating with activists, and take her daughter in hand.
Miftakhov told Public Monitoring Commission member Yevgeny Yenikeyev about pressure on him in the remand prison where he has been jailed since his arrest. In late April, Miftakhov was taken to the investigation room, where two men wanted to have an "informal" chat with him. When Miftakhov turned them down, they threatened him. They said he would have problems at the remand prison and face a second set of criminal charges.
A graduate student in mechanics and mathematics at MSU and an anarchist, Miftakhov was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct (Russian Criminal Code Article 213 Part 2). The charges were filed due to the events during the early hours of January 31, 2018, when persons unknown broke a window at the United Russia party office in Moscow's Khovrino District and threw a smoke bomb inside.
Police detained Miftakhov on February 1, 2019. Subsequently, Miftakhov told a lawyer he had been tortured with a screwdriver. Eleven other people were detained the same day, and several of them reported they were tortured, too. Over the next eleven days, Miftakhov's time in police custody was extended under various pretexts.

This coming Sunday, June 16, at 12 p.m. noon, Last Address will install three new plaques on the residential building at 35 16th Line, Vasilyevsky Island. The plaques commemorate three residents of the house who were shot during the Great Terror.
Mikhail Brandt, the principal of the Moscow District School for Pre-Conscripts, was arrested in 1936 and sentenced to five years of imprisonment for "anti-Soviet propaganda."
He was serving his sentence in the Solovki prison camp on the Solovetsky Islands when he was taken to Sandarmokh and shot on November 1, 1937. Mr. Brandt was 28 years old.
Viktor Platitsin, the foreman of the steel foundry at the Baltic Shipbuilding Factory, was arrested on August 23, 1937, and shot on January 18, 1938. Mr. Platitsin was 44 years old.
Alexei Aduyevsky, a boatman at the Karakozov Factory, was arrested on March 1, 1938, and shot on April 14, 1938. Mr. Aduyevsky was 35 years old.
Mr. Platitsin and Mr. Aduyevsky were exonerated in the 1950s. Mr. Brandt was exonerated in 1989.
We invite you to take part in the installation ceremony.

The Churn Creek Gateway Low Mobility Trail is located within the Churn Creek Protected Area at the confluence of the Fraser River and Churn Creek. The trail opened in September 2014 and was built in partnership between the Cariboo Regional District, the Friends of Churn Creek Protected Area Society, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the provincial government through the BC Community Recreation Program.
Approximately 450 m long and featuring a packed, crushed gravel surface, this accessible interpretive wilderness trail loop offers unique geographical features and connections to the human history of the area. Sagebrush and prickly pear cacti surround the trail, while the meeting of Churn Creek with the Fraser River provides spectacular views. A particular highlight of the trail is a sacred petroglyph boulder created by ancestors of the modern Secwepem'c (Shuswap) people and repatriated to the area in 2012 by the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem and High Bar First Nations.
The trail has a very gentle grade as well as an accessible outhouse, an accessible picnic table, two benches and a kiosk at the trailhead with information about the trail and the local area. The kiosk design reflects a Secwepem'c pithouse, complete with entrance ladder through the roof. There is ample parking available for visitors.
The Churn Creek Gateway Low Mobility Trail is located approximately 60 km southeast of Williams Lake and the drive takes about 2 hours. From Williams Lake, visitors should travel on Highway 20 approximately 3 km and then turn left onto Dog Creek Road. Continue on this road until Dog Creek Valley and then follow signs for Gang Ranch, which will take visitors across the Fraser River Bridge. At the next intersection, take the left turn onto Empire Valley Road.
Ongoing management of the site is provided by the Friends of Churn Creek Protected Area Society. For more information, visit www.friendsofchurn.ca.


A Toronto man who spent $550 building a set of stairs in his community park says he has no regrets, despite the city's insistence that he should have waited for a $65,000 city project to handle the problem. The city is now threatening to tear down the stairs because they were not built to regulation standards.
Area resident Dana Beamon told CTV Toronto she's happy to have the stairs there, whether or not they are up to city standards.
"We have far too much bureaucracy," she said. "We don't have enough self-initiative in our city, so I'm impressed."
We expect that government-build projects are going to be more expensive and take longer, but more than 100 times more expensive really somehow makes the point emphatically.
Meanwhile, speaking of overpriced government-funded projects, the Port Authority's $4 billion Santiago Calatrava-designed transit hub at the Lower Manhattan World Trade Center site leaks in the rain.

I signed up with RTA in Nov 2008.
The sales man was very nice and I assumed the contract was like any other agents contract.
6 months into the agreement I asked to be released from the contract as my house was being repossessed but they refused.
Nearly a year later, I wanted to terminate the agreement as I realised they did not advertise, did not send one potential buyer and after paying £700 plus VAT I never heard from them and always had great difficulty getting in touch with them.
I even pretended to be a 3rd party interested in buying my own business and they said it was not available!
I searched the internet and found the Mirror blog. Then I tried to cancel my agreement with RTA. I wrote an email saying as a single mum of 2 and about to have my family home repossessed and go bankrupt I needed to sell quickly and had to take the property to auction. I wanted to be released from the contract because they did not fulfil their agreement as the sales man mentioned 'national advertising' but my business was never advertised nationally.
After a year I found a private buyer and sold the business in Dec 2009, 13 months after signing their agreement, and not having heard from them once except in response to my request to cancel.
I was told by their rep that after a year I was released from the agreement automatically - but then RTA sent me a bill for £17,000 and a threat of legal action if I didn't pay up!
Their contract may be water tight but I am going to attempt to take them to court and 'out' them as small business con men.
It is outragious that they target such people or anyone at all. It is simple to do the job they offer so why do they need to 'steal' our money and bully and indimidate us with threats of legal action?
I am hoping a judge will see them for what they really are and finally do something to stop this.


Dorothy Martin's background and experience has focused primarily on designing and implementing learning and development programs within the telecommunications industry and establishing educational partnerships with public and private institutions of higher education. For more than 30 years Dorothy was involved in workforce training and development, and during this time she successfully managed several corporate tuition assistance programs that directly benefited over 200,000 employees. To meet key business strategies at Verizon Wireless, Dorothy established customized onsite and online certificate and college degree programs funded through the company's tuition assistance program. She continues to provide business consulting regarding the design, implementation and effective use of tuition assistance programs in the corporate and higher education sectors.
One of the most important ways that HR professionals demonstrate their own leadership within their organizations is by developing other leaders. In today's world this preparation has to involve knowledge and skills development through education. However, many organizations hesitate to invest in tuition assistance programs because of fears that the costs are overwhelming and that the employees who benefit from such programs will not stay with the organization long enough for the company to enjoy a full return on investment.
This is why measurement is so important. Not only are the benefits of education substantial, but when seen as an investment the returns can also be considerable. My experience helping organizations develop and measure the return on investment of their tuition assistance programs over the past 10 years has convinced me that especially when looking at the impact of tuition assistance in reducing turnover, companies can cover the majority of the costs of their tuition assistance program.
The best way to invest in your business is to invest in your employees by providing excellent training programs and opportunities for higher education. A generous tuition assistance program will assist you in becoming an employer of choice for recruiting purposes, as well as help you reduce turnover, increase job productivity, and improve career mobility for employees who take advantage of the program. Tuition assistance programs can also be tied to other corporate business objectives, such as developing specific skill sets, creating talent management strategies and managing leadership development programs.
For example, collecting data on the impact of tuition assistance programs on position acceptance rates can show to what extent such programs act as a recruiting tool. As the Millennial generation (born 1981–1996) and even Centennials/Gen Z (born from 1997 to the early 2000s) begin to enter the workforce in greater numbers, these types of programs are likely to become an even stronger element of your employer brand.
Likewise, poor retention rates are an expensive problem for many employers. Survey data examining the impact of the LearningLINK tuition assistance program at Verizon, for example, showed that the general workforce was more than twice as likely to leave the company as those participating in the tuition assistance program, even after degree or program completion.
Collecting data on career mobility can also show a measurable impact on the bottom line through increased rates of promotional and lateral moves that benefit both the employee and the organization. And participation in tuition assistance programs has also been shown to have a positive effect on factors such as employee job satisfaction, decision-making abilities, leadership and management skills, productivity and technical skills.
Managers and supervisors also report improvements in employee behaviors such as an increased interest in personal career development, interest in seeking out and accepting leadership roles, greater interest in internal training opportunities and in additional work assignments, and increased adaptability to change.
Setting up a monthly/quarterly measurement model to help assess the business impact of the program (this requires dedicated resources).
Promoting the tuition assistance program to employees (embed continuous learning into the corporate philosophy).
Making the program easy for employees to access and use (allow online application processing; no service commitments on the front or back end of participation; prepaid tuition as opposed to reimbursement; a meaningful cap rather than a token amount of coverage; local support personnel to encourage and assist employee participation).
Developing a consistent communication link to the participants (monthly newsletters, annual college fairs held on site at the business, internal website, frequent internal PR promotions).
Establishing a graduation recognition program (notes of congratulations from senior leaders, a small gift, monetary compensation or stock options, team luncheons, website photos, testimonials).
Providing career opportunities upon degree or program completion (make graduation data available to internal departments and talent management teams, establish mentorship programs).
Partnering with a college or university to develop specific programs of study tied to your business objectives.
Seeking educational institutions that are willing to be flexible and offer reduced tuition and costs for participants in your program.
The cost of turnover in your business (costs of advertising, recruiting, background checks, hiring, training, ramp-up time to full productivity, etc.).
Comparative data from your internal HR database (employee numbers and profile data, turnover stats, job performance ratings, job transfer data, etc.).
Utilization metrics of your tuition assistance program (participant numbers, tuition costs, administrative costs, course and degree stats, graduation and program completion records, etc.).
Survey data from your tuition assistance participants and the supervisors/managers of those participants (program satisfaction ratings, on-the-job behavioral influences, job performance observations, etc.).
By taking these steps, HR leaders can push tuition assistance programs far beyond being simply another employee benefit. Instead, these programs can become an integral part of an organization's human capital and leadership development strategy—one that continues to pay dividends years into the future.


We've chosen to host our event at the Queen Mary Park Community League Hall, which is both parking friendly and easily accessible via transit. The 7 and 3 bus lines both run within a block away. Our goal was to have it in a central location in the city so that everyone would be within reach!
We fell this venue is the perfect setting for our new weekend of gaming. We will be able to house 60-80 players, and will only be selling a limited number of weekend passes so drop-in players can attend too!


What does scientists being in a rush have to do with jellyfish populations? Let's start from the beginning.
The identification of patterns and trends in nature happens through the accumulation of consistent observations, published in scientific reports. Once observed, the emerging patterns are usually reported in narrative reviews, which often stimulates a flurry of research activity in that field.
Eventually, the purported patterns are formally tested using "meta-analyses" of the published literature, to either confirm the pattern and establish it as theory, or refute it.
This path from the primary observations to theory can be traced through a network of citations.
Science, however, is done by humans and citation practices are subject to errors of bias and accuracy. Citation practices that are biased in a particular direction have the potential to lead to the identification of false patterns and flawed theory.
In the 1990s and 2000s, reports began to appear in the scientific literature of increased jellyfish populations in some parts of the world's oceans. Various reviews reported the possibility that jellyfish blooms might be increasing globally. Over time, these became increasingly assertive about the existence and extent of the trend, until researchers were asking what to do about the increasingly "gelatinous state" of the oceans worldwide.

Blog Quick Quotes: Friday Challenge 82!
Hello, Alicia here to hosting the blog for you today!
This month it's Friday Challenge 82 and our theme is... Use Die Cuts! Be sure to stop back at the blog this weekend for the Winner Announcement for the November Friday Challenge 81 "Fall Colors".
Also, don't forget there's a Design Team Call going on if you are interested in designing with some yummy Quick Quotes products!
I created two examples using electronic and manual die cuts. My first project is perfume box. I have never before used an SVG with my Cricut. I realize too late I chose a very detailed 3 dimensional project for my first attempt. In the end, I decided to scrap some of the accessory parts and put a crystal knob on the top.
Here is a view with the lid removed. There were lots of layers and supports inside to make for a pretty sturdy little box.
I added ribbon, flowers and pearls to accent the box.
As I stated above, some of the pieces were not up to my standards, so I replaced the paper pieces with a crystal knob. I think it really adds a touch of elegance. Now, who will be the recipient?
Just in case you don't own an electronic die cutting machine, I made an example using manual die cuts. I used Warm Gray Powderpuff Chalking Ink to edge all the pieces, it really adds to the three dimensional effect. I also stamped the sentiment with the same ink.
I hope this gives you some ideas to create and play along this month! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
This month's challenge theme is "Die Cuts".
Create a layout, card, tag or off the page project that in any way includes Die Cuts - be creative!
Challenge begins today and is open until 11:59 pm PST on 12/29.
I am also facing the same problem. Kindly delete my entry no. 9! Thanks for the fun challenge!


The sale of Cadbury last week to US 'plastic cheese-making' conglomerate Kraft has resonated an astounding level of emotion (and news coverage) amongst the proud chocolate-loving peoples of Great Britain. And rightly so. Cadbury is a national treasure, a shining and very British beacon for responsible, philanthropic entrepreneurial capitalism.
In a way I suppose we hoped it might never happen. We wanted to believe that this proud company, founded by those good Quaker types in 1824 would limp on through the recession and recover its strength on the other side. It's been through worse, right? One hundred and eighty-four more years!
Sadly, it was not to be. Comparable perhaps to the grief of a family who have just lost one of their own to a new life in the colonies, we have had to accept that Cadbury is now essentially an American company. Goodbye, old bean. You are now to Kraft what Rowntree Mackintosh is to Swiss giant Nestlé.
But hang on a minute... We still have Kit Kats don't we? You can still buy tins of Quality Streets with the famous Mackintosh toffee penny, right? What are we so hung up about?
Well, I can't put it as well as Boris Johnson, but there are two primary concerns I believe may explain why Kraft's bid has been so unpopular, not least with Cadbury itself. One is that Kraft was seen as being unlikely to respect the ethos of the company and would meddle in its working practices, perhaps laying off workers in the process.
Another is that the much-loved Cadbury recipe would be tampered with, perhaps into the fatty, sugary mulch that so excites the over stimulated American taste-bud; turning it into a cheaper, lower quality product.
What do those Yanks care about our chocolate anyway? They're only concerned with balance-sheets right? I too have had such a worry. After all, I was only three years old when Nestlé bought Rowntree Mackintosh, but I swear Yorkies didn't taste so much of sugar and lard when I was a nipper.
There is another dimension to this matter however, a concern I happened to catch broadcast on BBC News following confirmation of the sale. This concern quite rightly revolves around the concerns of Cadbury's staff, who - with the changeover - are fearing for their jobs and the working practices they have become accustomed to.
But we've covered this already. The angle the BBC put on the matter was that, with so many British firms now in foreign hands, the country is losing control of its economic levers. Their claim is that British workers would be vulnerable to Kraft laying off foreign rather than domestic workers - that, in a way we would be relinquishing our ability to control our employment statistics and even the welfare of our own people.
Oh dear. This smells suspiciously like 'British jobs for British workers' again. The foul stench of that national socialism the BNP have made so much their own of late. That populist drivel the Prime Minister was so keen to associate himself with in 2007, then drop like a lead balloon following the fascists' endorsement.
But this is beside the point. What really stings me is the gross hypocrisy of this position. Why is it that the BBC are so happy to present the sale of Cadbury to an American company in terms of a loss of control over the economy to foreigners - an issue of sovereignty if ever there was one - yet fail to report how busily engaged we are relinquishing far more important economic, financial, even democratic controls to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels? To report one at the expense of the other is simply madness.
Madness perhaps, or ulterior motive. Is the BBC's position really about sovereignty? Is it really about job losses when the EU is threatening our ability to control inflation and interest rates? Depriving us of the right to self-regulate the lynchpin of our international economy?
Or is that they do not report our loss of sovereignty to Brussels because, like Labour, they have resigned themselves to discarding democracy in order to stealthily impose their shared agenda onto the British people?
As Roy Hattersley explained in 1992; 'Labour has converted to Europe because Europe has converted to socialism'. Perhaps what he meant was that Labour has sold its soul because Europe has converted to socialism.
How has this country got to such a point? Only last week the press also saw it fit to publicise the views of a surgeon so lacking in respect and understanding of the basic foundations of liberal democracy that, with an entirely straight face, he called for the banning of butter.
What madness is this? What fever hangs over the minds of our broadcasters? I was initially rendered speechless, yet even now find it difficult in mustering the words to counter such an insane argument. The totalitarians among us must be absolutely elated.
It's a sad irony indeed that the liberalism of the 1960s which so raged against the 'ban this filth' Mary Whitehouses of this world should have bred such a socially intolerant and reactionary political class today. The unholy alliance of the far left and extremist muslims is an acute example of this.
What has happened to liberty? To democracy? To 'trust the people'? Are these just fusty old eighteenth century ideas? I tell you, if the Conservatives cannot in government invigorate our democracy, reclaim it from Brussels and reverse this totalitarian nanny culture at home then I am afraid to say they have very little use to us at all.
"Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad."

Another workplace incident involving a fall from height has taken place at a construction site in Rosedale, north of Bundaberg recently.
The man suffered serious head and spinal injuries after falling 2 metres. This incident proves that even falls from relatively low heights can be serious.
The man, in his thirties had to rushed to Bundaberg Base Hospital by RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter.
This worker is lucky to be alive. This year already there have been 63 Australian workers killed at work, according to Safe Work Australia figures.


Does today feel like a turkey mac and cheese kind of day? Or maybe venison and squash. Perhaps it's time for surf and turf?
New York's dog owners can from this spring ask their four-legged friends exactly those questions, with the opening of the city's first kitchen dedicated to daily production of dog food.
Pet owners will be able to come into the store, in Manhattan's Union Square, and watch as the "chefs" whip up 2,000lbs of food each day, which will then go straight to the shelves.
The New York kitchen will be the largest yet for Petco, the American pet store, and their partners Just Food For Dogs. Seven such kitchens are already operating in California, and capitalising on a growing trend. US sales of fresh pet food in groceries and pet stores jumped 70 per cent between 2015 and last year, to reach more than $546 million (£419m) according to Nielsen, a data company.
"Just as people have become sceptical of highly processed foods for themselves, they're looking critically at their pets' foods as well," said Amy Zalneraitis, part-owner and chief brand officer of We Feed Raw, a 10-year-old raw food meal plan service based in Maine.
Petco plans to open a series of other kitchens over the next four years, in collaboration with the California-based Just Food For Dogs – a company which launched in 2010.
When the two companies announced the tie-up, Rebecca Frechette, Petco executive vice president, described Just Food For Dogs as the "inventor of the most radical change in pet food in decades".
And it is not just the pampered pooches of Manhattan who are dining out on fresh, organic meals.
San Francisco-based NomNomNow, which makes pre-proportioned fresh meals specific to each pet, sends hundreds of thousands of meals a month to customers in 48 states.
But the trend is an expensive one.
NomNomNow's service costs up to $3.80 per meal for a 35-pound dog, and up to $2.80 per meal for a 12-pound cat. Normal pet food can cost around 55 cents a can.
Just Food For Dogs, meanwhile, sells its venison and squash dish for $11.95 – the company is the largest consumer of human-grade venison in the US.
But some veterinarians have questioned the trend of feeding human quality food to dogs, especially if it is simply supermarket-bought meat.
"There are so many essential nutrients, from all different classes, that need to be considered," said Lindsey Bullen, a pet nutrition specialist with the Veterinary Specialist Hospital of the Carolinas.
Ms Bullen said she recommends her clients add canine and feline supplements to fresh foods from the supermarket, to ensure the animals get the correct nutrients.

Homepage ESPN+ ESPN+ To Be The U.S. Home For Bundesliga, Beginning August 2020
ESPN+ To Be The U.S. Home For Bundesliga, Beginning August 2020
New long-term agreement brings more than 300 top-flight German soccer matches per season to ESPN+ and select matches each season on ESPN Networks; Agreement also includes live streaming of DFL Supercup and Relegation Play-off matches
ESPN+ will be the new U.S. home for the Bundesliga, Germany's top domestic soccer league, as the result of a new multi-year agreement that will begin in August 2020.
ESPN+ will feature exclusive live and on-demand replay coverage of more than 300 matches per season from the Bundesliga, in both English and Spanish languages. In addition, the long-term agreement includes live coverage of the season-kickoff DFL Supercup, rights to Bundesliga 2 matches and on-demand surround programming such as highlights and magazine shows.
ESPN linear television networks will also feature select Bundesliga matches each season and highlights will be available in ESPN programs and on the ESPN App and ESPN.com.
Speaking about this announcement, Russell Wolff, Executive Vice President and General Manager, ESPN+ said: "With a strong connection to the American soccer community, a growing audience in the U.S. and some of the most well-known clubs and players in the world, the addition of the Bundesliga further cements ESPN+ as a must-have for any soccer fan."
Bundesliga International CEO, Robert Klein said: "It was clear from the start that ESPN and ESPN+ shared our ambitious vision. As innovators in the sports industry, we're both driven to deliver highly engaging content for fans." He added: "They will help us build on the strong connections the Bundesliga has with the U.S. having welcomed more American players than any other European league. They're attracted by the authentic, entertaining soccer we describe as 'Football As It's Meant To Be', played in front of the largest spectator numbers in the sport and epitomized by the highest goals per game average of all top European leagues. Germany will continue to be an important source of talent for future US national teams and with ESPN we're incredibly excited to take fans on their journey in the lead up to their home World Cup in 2026."
Burke Magnus, Executive Vice President, Programming, ESPN, concluded: "We're thrilled to reach this kind of multi-year agreement to bring one of the world's most passion-filled and exciting soccer leagues to the most innovative sport service in the U.S. Like ESPN, the Bundesliga has embraced technology, putting the fan at the heart of all they do by consistently delivering world-class content."
The Bundesliga joins an extensive lineup of soccer on ESPN+ that features over 2,000 top soccer matches per year from around the world, including exclusive coverage in the U.S. of Italy's Serie A, the UEFA Nations League, England's FA Cup and EFL, MLS, the Dutch Eredivisie and more.
Known for its stadium atmosphere, high-quality play, storied rivalries and goal-scoring pace, Bundesliga is among the world's top domestic leagues. Beginning its 58th season in August 2020, Bundesliga averaged 3.2 goals per game last season – top among the major European leagues. Plus, with an average attendance of more than 43,000 per game between 2013 and 2018, the Bundesliga has the highest average attendance of any major soccer league in the world (according to CIES Football Observatory). Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park Stadium has the largest average attendance of any team in Europe with 80,000 per match.
Bundesliga is also home to some of the biggest rivalries in world soccer, led by Der Klassiker (The Classic) between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern München. Other Bundesliga rivalries include the Revierderby (FC Schalke 04 versus Borussia Dortmund), the Rhine Derby (FC Köln versus Borussia Mönchengladbach) and the Berlin Derby (Union Berlin versus Hertha Berlin).
Almost half of all Bundesliga players currently represent their national teams, with numerous World Cup winners amongst the current squads. Some of the global superstars playing each week in Bundesliga include Brazil's Philippe Coutinho, Poland's Robert Lewandowski, France's Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez and Corentin Tolisso (all FC Bayern München), England's Jadon Sancho, Spain's Paco Alcácer, Belgium's Axel Witsel, Germany's Marco Reus, Mario Götze and Julian Brandt (all Borussia Dortmund), Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern München) and Timo Werner (RB Leipzig).
Historically, the Bundesliga has featured many American players, with more than 50 Americans competing in the German top flight since 1986. Currently, 11 American players call Bundesliga clubs home -- the most in any of the top European leagues. They include Weston McKennie (FC Schalke 04), Tyler Adams (RB Lepzig), Zack Steffen and Alfredo Morales (Fortuna Düsseldorf), Josh Sargent (Werder Bremen), John Brooks (VfL Wolfsburg), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Timothy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt), Khiry Shelton (SC Paderborn), Gio Reyna (Borussia Dortmund) and Brady Scott (1. FC Köln).

Christchurch: A Jordanian prince and the family of a slain 3-year-old boy and were among those who visited a New Zealand mosque Saturday when it reopened for the first time since a terrorist killed dozens of people there.
Abdullahi Ebrahim Diriye, the uncle of the youngest victim of the shooting, 3-year-old Mucaad Ebrahim, visited the mosque with the boy's father. Diriye said he helped lift the boy's coffin to a grave site Friday as Mucaad's mother wept. The coffin was very light with such a young child inside, he said.
Jereeth Abdeen, who was visiting from Auckland, said a friend of his escaped the attack. He said he found it hard to walk through the mosque, especially after glimpsing the gunman's live-stream of the attack after it was sent to him on social media before quickly closing out of the link.


For the latest episode of Diplo & Friends, the man Diplo recruited his "long time personal friend and lover" — himself — for an epic, two-hour mix.
With Diplo in the mix, it's nothing but nonstop dance-driven energy as he rinses tracks from tons of his friends including Valentino Khan, Mercer, Camelphat, Chris Lorenzo, A-Trak, Zeds Dead, Fisher and so many more. In fact, he leaves much of the soundtrack to his buddies as he expertly intertwines their sounds for a unique vibe of his own.
He does sprinkle in a few of his own tracks like Silk City's "Feel About You," some Jack Ü and Major Lazer, and Don Diablo's remix for MØ & Diplo's "Sun In Our Eyes." There's plenty of flavor to keep the party going all night. Well, at least for the next two hours.
Listen below — and to even more Diplo & Friends here.

Sports Personality of the Year Awards: Paddy 'the Baddy' Pimblett arrives with fiancé
Paddy 'the Baddy' Pimblett has arrived on the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year red carpet in jeans and a waistcoat alongside his glamorous childhood sweetheart.
Wearing his usual boyish blonde bangs, the rising UFC star shared a grin with fiancé Laura Gregory, who stunned in a plunging black minidress.
The pair attend the event as spectators – Pimblett, 27, has not been nominated for an award.
Pimblett told reporters on the carpet that he currently has an injury that may prevent him from competing once he wanted to.
'I've had a good year. I was hoping to be able to fight in early 2023, but I'm waiting for the results of an ankle injury I get on Thursday," he said.

The rising UFC star sported his usual boyish blonde fringe and shared a grin with fiancé Laura Gregory, who looked glamorous in a plunging black mini dress
But Pimblett's star is on the rise after recently winning his fourth fight in the UFC to maintain a perfect record.
Many fighters and fans felt that American Jared Gordon should have gotten the nod from the judges, who unanimously awarded Pimblett the win.
After posing for photos on the red carpet, Ms. Gregory shared a single shot from inside the venue, which was still nearly empty ahead of tonight's main event.
Lionel Messi is crowned World Sport Star of the Year after leading his country to its first World Cup victory in 36 years.
Voting for the award-winning Sports Personality of the Year begins at the awards ceremony and is presented by Gary Lineker, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott.
The couple got engaged in Thailand's Phi Phi Islands just before lockdown restrictions came into effect in February 2020, before moving into their "perfect home" later that year.
'Paddy the Baddy', dubbed the new Conor McGregor, made headlines by earning his fourth consecutive in-ring victory, this time over American Jared Gordon in Las Vegas
Nominated are gymnast Jessica Gadirova, bootballer Beth Mead, cricketer Ben Stokes, snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan, athlete Jake Wightman and curling's Eve Muirhead.
Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt receives the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Other eligible categories include Team of the Year, Coach of the Year, Unsung Hero and Young Sports Personality of the Year.
In 2021, Emma Raducanu was crowned Sports Personality of the Year following her fairytale finish at the US Open in just her second Grand Slam outing.
Other stars who have already arrived on the red carpet include Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, the daughter of Fred Sirieix, Lioness Beth Mead and Arsenal teammate Vivianne Miedema and England cricketer Sam Curran.
He first got into MMA at age 15, a year before he started dating Ms. Gregory, his childhood sweetheart
After posing for photos on the red carpet, Ms. Gregory (pictured) shared a selfie and a single shot from the venue, which was still almost empty ahead of tonight's main event
Pimblett has set his sights on an even bigger 2023 and is determined to one day eclipse Conor McGregor's achievements in mixed martial arts.
He insists he will "eventually become a billionaire" and has pledged to help children in his city who depend on food banks.
Who is nominated for Sports Personality of the Year 2022?
Six contenders are in the running for the 2022 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
The nominees are:
Gymnast Jessica Gadirova
Soccer player Beth Mead
Curling's Eve Muirhead
Cricketer Ben Stokes
Snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan
Athlete Jake Wightman
Voting will open during the show on BBC One on December 21.
Gary Lineker, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott will present the 69th Annual Awards.
Earlier this month, Pimblett set up The Baddy Foundation, which he hopes will "help feed children who are struggling to be fed and help men with mental health issues."
He became an outspoken advocate for men's mental health following the tragic death of his friend by suicide earlier this year.
He hopes 'finally break this stigma I've been talking about lately and help prevent so many suicides, which is such an epidemic right now."
He told The Guardian earlier this year: 'I see myself being bigger than that because the sport has evolved even more than it did when Conor made it mainstream. He had guys in their twenties following him where I get kids as young as five.
"Kids look at McGregor and see a big, hard guy with a lot of tattoos. Kids have long limp hair, they don't have tattoos. They can identify with me.'
Pimblett grew up in Huyton, Merseyside, where he attended St. Margaret Mary's Primary school and Cardinal Heenan Catholic High school.
He first got into MMA when he was 15, a year before he started dating Ms. Gregory, his childhood sweetheart.

In Washington this week for ceremonies regarding his selection earlier this year as the 2015 recipient of the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, Willie Nelson will be the subject of a star-studded tribute concert Wednesday night at DAR Constitution Hall.
The show is being documented for a Jan. 15 telecast on PBS stations. Performers will include Paul Simon (a previous Gershwin Prize recipient), Alison Krauss, Neil Young, Rosanne Cash, Leon Bridges, Edie Brickell, Jamey Johnson, Ana Gabriel, Raul Malo, Cyndi Lauper, Buckwheat Zydeco and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real.

"It is a great honor to be receiving the Gershwin award," Nelson said at a Tuesday event in the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building, adding that "I have been a fan of Ira and George Gershwins' music since I was a little guy." He also revealed that he has recorded an album of Gershwin songs to be titled "Summertime"; a release date has not yet been announced.
Other past Gershwin Prize honorees include Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Carole King, Billy Joel, and the songwriting duo of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:2012 VP113}}

2012 VP113 je transneptunické těleso z odděleného disku sluneční soustavy, jehož objev byl ohlášen 26. března 2014. Jeho absolutní magnituda (H) je 4,0, což může značit, že se jedná o trpasličí planetu. Předpokládá se, že dosahuje poloviční velikosti Sedny a podobné velikosti, jako má Huya (přibližně 450 km v průměru).

Těleso 2012 VP113 bylo poprvé pozorováno 5. listopadu 2012 čtyřmetrovým dalekohledem Víctor M. Blanco na Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory.

Oběžná dráha tělesa měla v době objevu největší známé perihélium ze všech objektů se sluneční soustavě, 80 AU, kterého těleso 2012 VP113 dosáhlo kolem roku 1979. Afélium se nachází ve vzdálenosti přibližně 450 AU od Slunce, oběžná doba činí přibližně 4300 let. Jedná se zřejmě o jeden z objektů z předpokládaného Oortova oblaku.

Whether you operate a hydroponic system or soil-based garden, Amplify Liquid Fertilizer from Safer® Brand fuels your plants with the nutrients they need as they bloom and fruit. Featuring an energizing fish and molasses solution, this OMRI Listed® fertilizer delivers the nutrients your plants need as they develop into this critical growth stage.
Safer® Brand Amplify is an OMRI Listed® liquid fertilizer that supplements hydroponic and soil-based gardens as their plants transition to blooming and fruiting stages. This fertilizer, which is certified for use in organic production, can be used inside your home or greenhouse or outside in the yard or garden. Add Amplify to your potted plants, perennials, annuals, medicinals, vegetables, flowers, berries, shrubs and trees for the most robust blooms.
This liquid fertilizer is formulated with acidulated fish tankage (decomposing fish matter) and molasses. Amplify is created from mixing the two into a plant food to fuel plant blooms. Amplify delivers a powerhouse blend of nitrogen and potassium sulfate to promote healthy, lush fruit, vegetables and flowers. Amplify's N-P-K ratio is 2-0-8.
For best results, follow the feeding schedule for your fertilizer. Consult the label for proper dosage.
In general, plants thrive at a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. Adjust your soil or water to achieve this. Remember that the seasons also can affect pH levels.
Monitor your water quality with a conductivity or PPM meter and control nutrient strength as needed.
If you're running a hydroponic system, drain and replace the nutrient solution on a weekly basis. If you don't, you could quickly see a nutrient imbalance.
Add worm castings to your media for best results.
Amplify is specifically formulated for use with hydroponic garden systems. Mix 7 ml to 15 ml of this fertilizer with every gallon of water in your reservoir. The low, 7 ml dosage will help trigger a bloom in your plants. From there, move on to the 15 ml dosage to help your plants ripen. Remember to change your reservoir every 5 to 7 days and add more Amplify.
Soil-based plants can get a dose of Amplify with every watering. Just add from 7 ml to 15 ml per gallon of water. The 7 ml dosage is enough to help transition your plants to the blooming stage. At the high, 15 ml dosage, Amplify helps to enhance and ripen the bloom.
Safer® Brand has a fertilizer for all the key stages of your plant's development. From seedlings to their final bloom, try our hydro-friendly line, including Awaken (seedlings & clones), Accelerate (vegetative), TruBone+ (vegetative and blooming), and TruAmino+ (blooming).

Q: Applying style by TargetType, if style connected in App.xaml For example, I have style
<Style TargetType="Button">
...
</Style>

in file Button.xaml
If I add this style using MergeDictionary in file where i want to use it - all working good. But if i connect this style higher in the hierarchy of files (for example in App.xaml) style stop working until i set x:Key for it and for all button set

Style="{StaticResource name_of_style}".

Can i avoid this behavior or I must set for all my elements style by name?

A: Try setting it as an application resource within your app.xaml, you can also do the same thing when calling specific styles to specific views if you do the same to the UserControl.Resources of your view.
PS - Example is silverlight, but method remains the same.
<Application xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Q: Can Interface be used as key in Coherence Cache? I have 2 different types of keys:
interface Key extends Serializable {
   String getName();
}

class KeyA implements Key {
    private String name;
    private int fieldA;
}

class KeyB implements Key {
    private String name;
    private int fieldB;
}

Can I use Key interface as a key in Coherence partitioned cache?

A: An instances of a class which is implementing that interface could be used as a key here.

A: Yes, but you must ensure that all possible implementations of Key meet following preconditions (from Oracle Documentation):

Cache keys must also provide an implementation of the hashCode() and
  equals() methods, and those methods must return consistent results
  across cluster nodes. This implies that the implementation of
  hashCode() and  equals() must be based solely on the object's
  serializable state (that is, the object's nontransient fields).
...
Some cache implementations (specifically the partitioned cache) use
  the serialized form of the key objects for equality testing, which
  means that keys for which the equals() method returns true must
  serialize identically.

There is a good article by Patrick Peralta that explains this behavior.


The arrival of three juvenile female kaka has given DOC and Project Janszoon's kaka captive breeding programme at Natureland Zoo a fantastic boost.
The two sisters from Dunedin and another bird from Invercargill are currently in quarantine at Natureland. They will join four other birds next month, including three males that were taken from wild nests at Nelson Lakes in early 2016.
"This is the beginning of a reinvigoration of the captive breeding population in the top of the South Island. With three new females we can potentially create three breeding pairs and breeding could start as early as next year," says Project Janszoon's aviculturist Rosemary Vander Lee.
A desire to release more birds with northern South Island genes led to the set up of our kaka captive breeding programme last year. The three new females are descended from a male kaka from Nelson Lakes.
The plan is to harvest more chicks from Nelson Lakes and the Wangapeka in Kahurangi National Park to further boost the breeding population and strengthen its genetic resilience. Last year six females in the Wangapeka were captured and fitted with transmitters so that any nests can be found if they breed.
Stoat trapping has helped protect a small population of kaka at Nelson Lakes. The Wangapeka kaka population is recovering rapidly following several years of stoat trapping and the aerial application of 1080. Four captive bred females have already been released into the Abel Tasman to join the few remaining wild male kaka. The captive breeding programme will allow us to release more kaka into an area of the Park which has extensive predator control.

Q: Editing a specific row in txt file using C++ I have a text files, the data in text file is;
file1.txt
1.0|BWP
1.0|KWK
1.0|RLS
1.0|KPP

I want to edit row no 3 to
2.0|RLS

Kindly help me how can i achieve this;

A: Assuming, you have simple ASCII encoding, you can compute the position of every line in your file. Each line is either 8 or 9 characters long (depending on what line terminator you use). Let that number be stored in variable len. So the solution is this:

*

*Open the file

*Jump to line x (e.g. x = 2, note that the first row is x = 0) by seeking to position x * len

*Write new line of exactly len bytes (e.g. char[len])

*Close file, if you don't need it anymore.

A: A little disclaimer
I hope I won't get too much bashing for degrading SO quality. But this was too long for a comment.
Generally you should ask here questions that can have precise answer, and/or solve a specific (technical more or less) problem. Not "I'm alone in the dark. Halp plox." This is why people are strongly encouraged to show what they did try.
However, I get the feeling the OP have absolutely no clue where to start and thinks there is some paradigm or built-in support in standard library for his task. I believe in their goodwill and trust its better to give an idea than let them run into wilderness, just to try something to be eligible to ask a question on SO. I want to give some hints and starters. I hope this is acceptable and will help him to break problem into several specific problems/questions, that can actually be precisely answered.
Answer attempt:
Well there is no default go-to way for manipulating text files like in a text editor. This is quite a non-trivial task when you start breaking it down to what you can actually do in language.
The general approach for your kind of problem is to read the file into memory and store it as a separate lines. More over, it seems that you can parse each line, and make a model for each line. I would start with:
class Line{
public:
  Line(const std::string& text_line); // parse an actual line
  Line();
  std::string to_string(); // return textual representation for saving

  void set_value1(float);
  float get_value1();
  void set_value2(const std::string&);
  const std::string& get_value2();
private:
  float value1;
  std::string value2;
};

Make Document a collection of Lines. And you can pretty much freely manipulate it. I hope this is good for starters. You need to figure out how to load up a file line by line, and how to write ctor and to_string() but this should be way easier to seek help for in case of troubles.
If you think this is an overkill. Maybe. But the question could be answered:

*

*set magic_number to 17

*open file

*seek(magic_number)

*write 2

*close file

I hope i got the magic_number ok =).

Handling of the COVID-19
Figo criticises Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez: More unemployment and more poverty
2020-07-05 Spain	By Agencies
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Luis Figo has been very critical lately of the Spanish government's handling of the COVID-19 crisis and took to social media once again to criticise the prime minister Pedro Sanchez.
Sanchez is contemplating raising taxes and the former Real Madrid winger expressed his disapproval.
"The de-escalation begins," he wrote after sharing ABC's piece which outlined Sanchez's plans
"The most predictable strategy equals more unemployment and more poverty."
A week before, Figo had warned about a tough crisis that would come as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
"They are going to say that it is extreme alarmism," he posted on Twitter. "Tough years are coming."
In mid-June, the Portuguese mocked the proposal of Unidas Podemos to give a medal to Fernando Simon, director of the Centre for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies of the Ministry of Health.
"How quickly they get medals," he said.
On May 19, he took to social media once more to criticise a survey reporting that PSOE's popularity was boosted after the COVID-19 crisis.
"Interesting," he wrote, adding, "I will ask them who will win the Champions League this year."
At the end of the same month, Figo criticised the government after reading the news that Fernando Santafe became the third member of Spain's Civil Guard to leave their post following a scandal.
"Now there's three," he posted
"Interference? Renewal? Political Interest? The controversy has already been served."
Previously he had expressed his outrage at the decision of the Health Ministry to delay Madrid from entering Phase 1 of the country's de-escalation plan.

EITI: Spearheading Transparency in Mexico's Mining Sector
By Alejandro Ehrenberg | Wed, 09/30/2020 - 10:55
Q: Why is it necessary for the mining industry to foster transparency?
A: Ten or 15 years ago, transparency was the buzzword among governance professionals. Since then, the hype has calmed down but EITI has institutionalized the commitment to transparency in different countries. This commitment has survived shifting trends and changes of government. Continuous commitment means that there is a demand for transparency within civil society and that governments want to respond to that demand. The private sector is crucial in this effort. EITI is an ideal partner to push this agenda forward. We present a practical way to deliver on transparency. At the government level, we promote for the creation of frameworks for transparency, among other goals. Mexico is a leader in this area, given its law on free access to information. Participating in EITI is a way for governments to be associated with best practices, to boost their attractiveness to investors and to have a strong international standing.
The kind of transparency EITI advocates is evidence-based. This is very useful for the mining industry. The sector has had to deal with a legacy of obscure business deals and suboptimal environmental practices that has eroded its legitimacy. Collaborating with initiatives like EITI is a formidable way to restore legitimacy and prove to civil society that the industry today is committed to paying taxes and behaving responsibly. It is a win-win situation. Governments attract investment from the best and most responsible players. Companies build trust that leads to strong, long-term relationships and stability.
Q: How is EITI collaborating with the López Obrador administration?
A: The EITI conversation with Mexico started with the Energy Reform. It was a key aspect in approving the reform. But the agenda under López Obrador has shifted. Fighting corruption is certainly at the top the agenda. But the way the oil and gas industry is envisioned also is different. As pieces are still being arranged, EITI has found a new home in the mining sector.
The Mexican government published our second report and it is updating the portal where EITI's milestones are published. We look forward to continue working with government, industry and civil society. It is important to mention that the latter two have been very active in our tripartite organization: Mexico EITI Commission. Civil society is especially focused on environmental issues.
The Undersecretary of Mining has been axed as a result of austerity measures. But when we started working in Mexico, the country did not have an undersecretariat and a great deal of progress was made anyhow. Now, it seems that we are back in that situation. It should not be a major hurdle, as the sector still needs to be regulated. We need to work with what is available. While the former undersecretary was well-respected by stakeholders, institutions and policies should survive people. The important thing is to institutionalize Mexico's commitment to transparency.
Q: What are EITI's most urgent priorities in Mexico?
A: Environmental issues are key drivers for civil society. In response, EITI has started to expand the conversation with SEMARNAT and ASEA. Broadening the conversation should ensure that these issues are addressed.
We are also intensifying our conversations to regain contact and momentum with PEMEX. The NOC previously supported EITI officially. It does not anymore, as such, but that does not mean that it is uninterested and that we cannot cooperate.
We know that the anticorruption agenda is crucial for the government. There are many angles that EITI can address in this regard. One is beneficial ownership. The identity of the real owners – the beneficial owners – of the companies that have obtained rights to extract oil, gas and minerals is often unknown, hidden by a chain of unaccountable corporate entities. This problem feeds corruption and tax evasion. By 2020, all EITI countries need to ensure that companies that apply for or hold a participating interest in an oil, gas or mining license or contract in their country disclose their beneficial owners. We hope this data can be added to the database that the Ministry of Finance is building.
Q: What lessons from other Latin American countries can EITI bring to the effort against organized crime in Mexico's mining industry?
A: Artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Colombia is interlinked with criminal forces. We have been in discussions with the OECD to help companies in the supply chain implement their own due diligence to assess whether a potential business partner is involved with organized crime. EITI can shed light on the healthy elements of the supply chain and help with this due diligence. We can be the vehicle for information on authorized smelters, for instance. EITI can be the place where companies check for legitimacy. For governments, the international community can see if an effort has been made to regularize artisanal mining. How Mexican organized crime interacts with small-scale mining is not often discussed but EITI has experience that can help in Mexico's dealing with the issue.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a global standard for the good governance of oil, gas and mineral resources. It seeks to address the key governance issues in the extractive sectors.

Major League Baseball Announces Decision On Marcell Ozuna
Major League Baseball has made a decision on Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who finished the season on administrative leave following a domestic violence arrest.
The league announced that Ozuna was sentenced to time served. His 20-game suspension includes the games he missed while on leave from September 10 through the end of the regular season.
As a result, Ozuna will be eligible to play at the start of the 2022 season.
MLB announces discipline for Marcell Ozuna under its domestic-violence policy, an unpaid 20-game suspension that includes all 20 regular-season games he served while on administrative leave from Sept. 10 to end of '21 season. So, he can return immediately at start of '22 season.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 29, 2021
The 31-year-old Ozuna, who signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Braves in free agency, injured his hand sliding into third base during a game in late May. Days later, he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault strangulation and misdemeanor battery.
Ozuna was accused of abusing his wife. The two-time All-Star allegedly grabbed his wife, threw her into a wall and later struck her with his injured arm.
Ozuna entered a diversion program in September. Fulton County authorities had said charges would be dropped if he completes the conditions of the program in six months.
While Ozuna is eligible to play right away in 2022, there's no guarantee the Braves would welcome him back. The team could opt to jettison the slugger, even with three years left on his contract.

Celebrity Manager Scooter Braun has signed on new clients. Managing the hip hop group Black Eyed Peas is to be his next project.
Scooter Braun has reportedly been signed on as Black Eyed Peas' new manager. The hip hop group, consisting of pop sensation Fergie, rappers Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap and Taboo is a new addition to Scooter's list of successful artists. Braun already manages pop stars Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Carly Rae Jepsen amongst many others.
Braun has taken on the group's management at a crucial time, because it looks like Black Eyed Peas will be returning big time. It has been 20 years since the band first started it's journey. After releasing their first ever album, Behind the Front in 1998, the band continued to pursue their musical dreams. However, they were able to gain mainstream success only after singer Fergie joined in 2003. And now, with a new management company, they are expected to release an album celebrating their 20 year anniversary.
However, Fergie doesn't seem to be into the celebration. Talking to Digital Spy earlier this year, the 40 year old said, "I haven't been in the group for 20 years, so it's more their anniversary of being together for 20 years.
"So maybe they're putting out an album themselves."
With SB projects as their management, we have hopes that they work out whatever complications they are going through and drop an album soon.
Braun has been a great manager to extremenly popular stars and is known to stay loyal and supportive of his clients. Recently, Ariana Grande, whom Braun manages, was involved in a controversial affair after she reportedly licked a donut in a bakery and expressively said that she hated America.
"What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words," she explained. "As an advocate for healthy eating, food is very important to me and I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole. The fact that the United States has one of the highest child obesity rate in the world frustrates me. We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies. We need to demand more from our food industry. However I should have known better in how I expressed myself; and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better."
The supportive manager, who has an estimated net worth of $50 million currently resides in Hollywood with his wife, Yael Cohen and their son, Jagger.
