In 1966 Bar-Tur moved to England to study photography and design at the London College of Printing and Graphic Arts (known today as the College of Communication at the University of the Arts London). In 1968 Bar-Tur joined forces with friend Jeff Vickers to provide photography and graphic design services to high profile clients. His work was widely syndicated and published worldwide. In 1976, Bar-Tur moved his family from England to the United States to grow his marketing graphic design & production business. In 1981 he established C2media (now c2imaging) in New York City with an English partner, David Manning. C2media grew to be one of the largest digital imaging providers for major US luxury brands, with six offices and over 500 employees. Bar-Tur and his partner sold the business in 2010 after working together for 29 years. For the last ten years, Bar-Tur and his son Armon have worked together to develop student housing in the UK and Europe.

Q: Android cube transition between two views Is it possible to implement a cube like 3D transition between two views?
I got two FrameLayouts, previous to the animation layout 1 is visible, after the animation layout 2 should become visible and layout 2 gone. The transition between should look like cube transition in GO Launcher.
I found no way to implement this. Are there any libs or other helpful ways to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

A: There is a 3D flip example in Google's ApiDemos. I think you can take this as a good starting point...

Danyal Zafar's Overnight Quarantine Glow-Up
Danyal Zafar composed 2 songs in a period of mere days which have become sensations overnight during this lockdown!
Administrator Published 12 Apr, 2020 06:34pm
After the successful release of his album Blue Butterfly in early March and his song "So Long, Goodbye" making it to the charts in California, the talented pop singer, also known as Danny Zee, had to fly back due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
Facing issues such as anxiety and being restricted to his room, in solitude during this period of self-quarantine, the multi-talented artist took to his social media and asked his fans to help him write a song by simply humming a melody. He asked all his fans to participate by messaging him lyrics they wanted to hear and sending videos/artwork. One visual artist who worked with him on Udh Chaliye and Ankhiyaan to follow is Mariam Idris, "I was given the creative freedom to create it in my style, according to how Danyal wanted it," who revealed her empathetic side helped her in trying to get the message to transcend into the animation, after collaborating and discussing it with Danyal himself. They brainstormed how to make the audience feel as if they were a part of the song itself, and the beautiful images and ideas which are a part of the song, together while creating a work of art.
"It's kind of like a movement, not within just myself but with my fans." Danyal Zafar conveyed while discussing the adrenaline pumping process of simply trusting his intuition and pure "gut feeling" into creating two hits! Udh Chaliye was written and composed within a day, this project was executed the very day Danny Zee hummed the serene melody for his fans and asked for their contribution. An influx of thousands of messages and hundreds of videos, artwork and ideas flew in, and with trust and a deep connection shared between the fans and Danny, he was able to compile it and release this fantastic new song being played by young fans and friends alike, not only making this something which has never been done before but a true bonding experience in this time of loneliness and isolation.
Akhiyaan is another recent release of the creative genius; Danny Zee reached out once again to his fans to send him their experiences with heartbreak, loss, hurt and to send him a few lines he could use to adapt into a beautiful soundtrack -which they gladly did. The passionate songwriter used his social media platform to let his fans know how he had to use equal ideas for equal gender representation and make an impactful product out of it, which he did, of course. Another sensational hit, Akhiyaan consists of hauntingly captivating lyrics in Urdu, Punjabi, English, with thought, idea and raw talent as this involvement with actual fans and interaction has led to a magical experience and delivery! Danyal has not only managed to conceive 2 songs within this quarantine but has created actual music which is streaming everywhere!
This course of action spun into existence when the multi-faceted artist turned to music in his time of isolation and let his extraordinary creative genius ensue which has been the foundation for relevant music which people actually want to hear as it's coming from them. Danyal Zafar has against all odds done something with his fans which is applaudable, including their artwork, their input and taken into account what they want, delivering on par excellence and quite frankly, in-demand music. Both his fantastic songs are streaming on several sites including Audio Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Soundcloud and JioSaavn.

Q: Is there a way to register that one property depends on another? What I mean by this is: suppose there are IsCompliant and ShowWarning properties on the ViewModel.  The UI has some message bound to ShowWarning, and if the ViewModel is not compliant, along with some other conditions, we want to show the warning.  So, I'm coding it like this:
    private bool mbIsCompliant;
    public bool IsCompliant
    {
        get { return mbIsCompliant; }
        set
        {
            mbIsCompliant = value;

            RaisePropertyChanged (() => IsCompliant);
            RaisePropertyChanged (() => ShowWarning);
        }
    }

    public bool ShowWarning
    {
        get { return !IsCompliant && [other conditions]; }
    }

Note that double RaisePropertyChanged call in the setter for IsCompliant, to trigger the update for the view bound to ShowWarning.  But this feels klunky to me, because each property has a sprinkling of these calls throughout the ViewModel.
What I would prefer is a way to have a table of dependencies that I can register in the constructor, and have MVVMCross keep track of the fact that if Property A changed, then Property B also changed, and so on.  In this way, each property keeps track of itself, and the class as a whole manages the dependency relationship between the properties.
Does this exist?  Is it a reasonable idea, or is there a better way to accomplish my goal?

A: There's no 'one way' to do this, but a few people have experimented with different techniques including general INotifyPropertyChanged interception, some attribute based extensions and some Aspect Oriented Programming techniques
For some examples and information on these, see:

I started to use Adobe Photoshop a good few years ago and spent a good chunk of money on upgrades over the years. When Adobe changed to a subscription model, I decided that a monthly sub of a bit under 9 GBP for Photoshop and Lightroom was reasonable. However, for various reasons, I used the software less and less: in the last six months, I've done no image processing with Lightroom and opened Photoshop maybe twice.
Nine quid a month for nothing isn't reasonable so I logged on to my Adobe account see about cancelling my sub. Here was revealed the first bit of sleazy behaviour: there is no way to cancel on the account management page. You have to contact Adobe by chat line or phone. Already I'm expecting some hassle. Anyway, I elected for chat line and after a short wait, Chinthana appeared.
Roger Cavanagh: No. How many times do I have to repeat myself? I want to cancel. I am getting no value for my money as I do not use the software anymore.
Chinthana: Okay. Are you okay with the cancellation fee?
Roger Cavanagh: No I am not OK with the cancellation fee, but no doubt, the small print says I have to pay it.
Roger Cavanagh: The monthly bill you send says: "Your Creative Cloud membership will renew automatically each month until you cancel." It does not say, "and you will be charged to leave".
At this point, Chinthana said he would check with his supervisor. After a little while, he came back on line and said his supervisor had agreed to waive the fee. Now I'm sure than Chinthana does have a supervisor, but I'm not all sure that he asked permission to waive the cancellation charge. It's more likely that the workflow got to a point that tells the agent to give up and let the customer off.
So I got what I wanted: cancellation. Adobe got almost one month's sub for nothing because my last payment was only a couple of days ago and I have already uninstalled the software. But I am left with a much-reduced opinion of the company.

County Seeks Allies in Call for State Aid
Unfunded state mandates and a decade of declining state aid driving county's huge deficit.
By Graham Kilmer	- Jun 14th, 2019 11:29 am
Theodore Lipscomb, Sr. Photo from Milwaukee County.
A county board committee passed a series of resolutions Thursday calling for legislation at the state level to remove some of the statutory barriers to new revenue and seeking support from other Wisconsin municipalities in this effort.
These four resolutions passed unanimously with sponsorship from every member of the Finance and Audit committee and are part of the County's "Fair Deal" initiative to address revenue shortages for the county. The resolutions call on the state to fully fund services, like courts and highway maintenance, the county is mandated to provide, to allow the county to seek a property tax increase through a binding referendum, to fully fund the cost of new secure residential care centers that will replace the youth prisons at Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake, and legislation requiring the state to keep the shared revenue formula on pace with inflation.
All these resolutions are being forwarded to the Wisconsin Counties Association, with the hopes they will become part of the association's legislative platform in 2020. Supervisor James Schmitt said it's necessary for Milwaukee to get the support of other counties if their efforts are to succeed.
County Board Chairman Theodore Lipscomb, Sr. said the four resolutions were tailored to include, "elements that we think could have statewide interest."
Unfunded mandates, Lipscomb said, are an obvious example. In the early 2000s there were efforts statewide to require that mandates be fully funded, he said. And as the legislature treads water on the issue of closing Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake, Lipscomb said the new facilities have "the potential to be a massive unfunded mandate on counties, if we don't get some additional legislation and support of funding."
The day before the county committee passed these resolutions, state legislators brought forward bipartisan legislation seeking to put off closing the youth correctional facilities by six months from the original deadline of Jan. 2021. Gov. Tony Evers had previously tried to delay the closure in his budget. The original legislation passed and signed under Gov. Scott Walker had underfunded the development of the new facilities, as County Executive Chris Abele pointed out during discussions about the Fair Deal initiative earlier this year.
As Urban Milwaukee has reported, the county has an average structural deficit for operations that is $12.8 million annually and by 2023 will face a structural deficit of nearly $80 million. The county also has a projected backlog of capital projects in the county that could total nearly $1 billion.Two resolutions call on the state to give Milwaukee the tools it needs, through legislation, to address this: specifically, the opportunity to implement up to a 1 percent sales tax with a binding-referendum, and state shared revenue that keeps pace with inflation.
Milwaukee County sends away huge amounts of state income tax revenues each year to the state, which in turn sends back shared revenue to fund services, a formula followed since the state income tax was created more than a century ago. But since at least 2011, state shared revenue hasn't kept pace with inflation, leaving the county with a growing gap between costs to operate and available revenue.
"We need some legislative action here," Schmitt said at committee. "We need to be able to raise revenues."

Garland Memorial Park
Garland Memorial Park is located at the intersections of Garland and Miller Road. It is currently divided in to 4 editions including, Knights of Pythias, Garland Memorial Park I (Joyce Edition), Garland Memorial Park II, and Garland Memorial Park III (Marion D. Williams IV Edition).
Knights of Pythias
The Knights of Pythias Cemetery was established March of 1900 and is divided into 4 sections. There are many resting places for early pioneer families in this addition. This section is known for it's large developed trees and classic grave markers. It was also widely regarded for the large red oak tree which spanned nearly 70 feet tall with a crown spread of 95 feet and a trunk circumference of more than 14 feet at chest height.
It was designated by the Texas Forest Service as the largest of it's kind in all of Dallas, Tarrant, and eight adjoining counties. Unfortunately this near 200 year old fixture became sick with a wood decay fungus (Ganoderma applanatum) along the tree's root flare. After several years drought conditions, the tree also became infected with hypoxlylon canker, another opportunistic pathogen. The tree declined rapidly and began to pose serious safety risk to cemetery visitors as well as traffic along South Garland Road.
Few other tree's of it's kind exist in Texas as it is native to the U.S. Pacific Coast. Legend has it W.B. Bell planted seeds possibly brought from California by cousins near the family plot around 1832. The Knights of Pythias fraternal order began developing acreage as a cemetery around 1900, when the tree was already around 70 years old.
Records in this section are incomplete due to the Knight of Pythias organization not providing the originals. Current records were assembled by survey of existing headstones.
Samantha Jones, Project Manager
Garland Memorial Park - Joyce Addition
Garland Memorial Park I, informally known as the "Joyce Addition" was established in April of 1934. Garland Memorial Park I sits adjacent to the northside of Knights of Pythias. Originally this property was owned by Charles Joyce. His daughter, Marita Joyce later inherited this property and began to expand the cemetery one row at a time as needed. Eventually the foundation took over the property sales, while Marita would designate new rows as needed. After her passing, the additional property she owned to the north was donated to the Presbyterian Village Nursing Foundation. The foundation was later able to purchase these additional properties to expand the park further into Garland Memorial Park II & III.
Garland Memorial Park - 2nd Addition Est. 1991
Garland Memorial Park III - Garden of Serenity
The third addition was founded in 2004 and named for Marion D. Williams IV for his outstanding dedication to the improvement of Garland Memorial Park and Garland Mills Cemetery throughout his lifetime.
Garland Memorial Park III - Garden of Peace
Garland Memorial Park III - Garden of Reflections
This large new section has expanded Garland Memorial Parks space inventory by over 2000 available spaces. It is scheduled to officially open Monday, February 20, 2017 for at-need and pre-need sales. Tree placement has recently been completed and bench rights have been designated. Due to demand, every other available row starting with row 1 will be designated for upright monuments.


What happens when you mix New York sensibility with Dublin Streets, add a dash of individuality, a couple in love, and a photographer with unique style? The very cool and original wedding of Tanya and Joel!
Joel is from New York, Tanya is from Dublin, living in Brooklyn at the moment, they married during the summer in Fallon & Byrne on Exchequer Street in central Dublin.
Before the ceremony the ladies got ready in the Penthouse of the Morgan Hotel in Temple Bar.
Rub-a-dub-dub, three bridesmaids (and a bride) in a tub!
failing) to find something that was knee length and not too froofy, and Kristen did an amazing job."
Wish my friends could make clothes. Maith an Cailin Kristen!!
Tanya heaped praise up on the wedding venue Fallon and Byrne "We absolutely loved them. They answered tons of questions and were incredibly helpful and accommodating. It took a lot of the stress out of organising a wedding from 3300 miles away. Also, anyone who knows Fallon & Byrne probably already knows that the food is going to be amazing but, seriously, the food was amazing. We went for the tapas/family-style menu. It was really unusual and not at all weddingy: not a potato in sight! We had the ceremony at Fallon & Byrne too. They did an amazing job of setting up the room for the ceremony then quickly turning it into a reception room while we went to take pictures."
So Tanya & Joel headed off around town to take some pictures, in fact they went on quite the tour of Dublin - from Dublin Castle to the Canal via pints in the Stag's Head and a Luas ride. The resulting pictures are fun and relaxed, great mementos for the couple and all the members of the wedding party of what was clearly a lovely wedding.
"Try to keep it relaxed. If you're hung up on making every tiny detail perfect, then you're not going to have a lot of fun. I really recommend taking the parts of the traditional wedding that you know you'll enjoy, and ignoring any parts you don't care about. Really, do whatever you want to do and forget about what other people think is normal.
"I'll also pass on the best advice we were given, which is to make sure to take time for each other on the day. It flies by! There'll be so many people there to see you and you don't want to think back on your memories of your wedding day and realise you barely spoke to your new spouse at all! We snuck off every couple of hours and spent a while sitting away from the party and decompressing a bit and enjoying being married."
Personally I think that's a great piece of advice, it's so easy to let everyone else have a piece of you on your big day, it's important to remember the whole wedding thing is actually about the two of you as a couple.

Q: How can I properly check a string format if it follows a version number format? I have a PHP app that get's a play store app data and I want to check if the data I am getting is the version number.
A version number can be 0.0.1 to 99.99.99 or I may be wrong with the version number limitations.
How can I properly use regular expressions to handle this job?
This is how I currently do it:
$list = ["hello", "0.23.2", "world"];

foreach($list as $l) {
    if (checkIfValidVersion($l)) {
       echo "valid version!";
    }
}

function checkIfValidVersion ($someString) {
    $split = explode(".", $someString);
    $isValid = false;

    foreach($split as $s) {
        $isValid = is_numeric($s) ? true : false;
    }

    return $isValid;
}

A: Simple regex would be \d+\.\d+\.\d+.
For php you can use preg_match. Check example on this link.
p.s. this is not strict check like version should be atleast 0.0.1 or max should be 99.99.99. It just checks for a pattern like below.
<number><dot><number><dot><number><dot>

A: Assuming, as your examples in your question, you just want to match exactly 3 sets of numbers (assuming they can only be 2 digits containing only 0-9) check my solution here
[0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]{1,2}\.?[0-9]{1,2}
This  however has a few issues, as it won't work on less than 3 sets of digits, now if the play store doesn't allow that, great, but be aware that with the above regex version numbers like 1.0 and 1.1 will not match

A: Use:
^(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)$

That regex will match three groups of 1 or 2 digit numbers separated by dots. It is good to use ^ and $ with preg_match to make sure it will match the whole string and not a string containing the version part, e.g. something1.0.0something.
Examples:
preg_match("/^(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)$/", "1.0.0"); // Match
preg_match("/^(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)$/", "99.99.99"); // Match
preg_match("/^(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)\.(\d?\d)$/", "99.699.99"); // Not match

A: If you want to enforce the lower limit of 0.0.1 then this will work:
<?php
function is_valid_version( $version )
{
    // Assume the input is invalid
    $return = false;

    // Make sure we can explode() the input
    if( is_scalar( $version ) )
    {
        // Explode on periods
        $version = explode( '.', (string)$version );

        // We should have exactly items
        if( count( $version ) === 3 )
        {
            // All three items should be digits
            if(
                ctype_digit( $version[ 0 ] ) &&
                ctype_digit( $version[ 1 ] ) &&
                ctype_digit( $version[ 2 ] )
            )
            {
                // At least one digit needs to not be zero
                // 0.0.0 should be invalid
                // If you want the upper limit to be 99.99.99 then this is where you should do it
                if(
                    (int)$version[ 0 ] !== 0 ||
                    (int)$version[ 1 ] !== 0 ||
                    (int)$version[ 2 ] !== 0
                )
                {
                    $return = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $return;
}

var_dump( is_valid_version( '1.2.3' ) ); // true
var_dump( is_valid_version( '0.0.0' ) ); // false
var_dump( is_valid_version( '0.0.1' ) ); // true
var_dump( is_valid_version( '0.1.0' ) ); // true
var_dump( is_valid_version( '100.53456.fgdf' ) ); //false
var_dump( is_valid_version( array() ) ); //false

A: If you just explode the dot (.) then each item is limited to a maximum length of 2.
$version = "25.22.01";
$bool = true;
foreach(explode(".", $version) as $part) {
  if(strlen($part) > 2) {
    $bool = false;
  }
}

// Expected result: "true"
var_dump($bool);

Here is a working example at 3v4l.org.

A: Improving on shyammakwana.me's answer, I'd suggest using:
\d{1,2}\.\d{1,2}\.\d{1,2}

Because the + plus quantifier is greedy by default and would match:
9999323.32532553.893588972350897327

As well as:
1.1.1

Using curly braces gives allows you to be more specific and determine if the specified version isn't formatted properly.
If you wanted to, you could get rid of the second number and just use {1,} to match one or more numbers.


Few people would doubt Richard Branson's ability to lead. Like many entrepreneurs he has passion, energy and an instinctive flair for business. This article from the Toolkit for Managers looks at how his authentic leadership style has helped to make him the successful business leader he is.
Richard Branson has never courted convention. He left school at 16 with few qualifications, and no interest in traditional further education. He started his first business venture, a student magazine, just after leaving school. Three years later he opened Virgin Records in Oxford Street, London. By the age of 24, he had made his first million. Since then the serial entrepreneur has started up around 200 new businesses, including train and airline travel, investments, mobile phones and cosmetics.
Typical of many entrepreneurs, Branson doesn't shy away from failure. His attempt to take on Coca Cola and Pepsi, two of the worlds' biggest brands, met with initial success – capturing a 50% share of the UK market. But despite rolling into New York on a tank to herald the start of 'Cola Wars', Branson failed to make a dent in the US market. The ability to take risks and to learn from trial and error, however, has helped Branson become the unique entrepreneur and leader he is today.
Richard Branson uses his casual appearance to communicate his personal identity, and to send out clear messages about his informal, and non-conformist business style. The Virgin name too says much about his cheeky approach to business – it was even considered too risqué to be registered as a company name in the early years. His company mission statement at one time reportedly openly claimed to 'stick two fingers up to the establishment', and Branson says that 'Screw it, let's do it!' would aptly sum up his misson.
Branson's appetite for excitement and adventure has seen him tackle incredible challenges both inside and outside of work. Whether taking on British Airways, or circumnavigating the globe in a balloon, Branson uses his infectious enthusiasm and charm to persuade others to join him for the ride. This is perhaps Branson's greatest skill as a leader.
It will come as no surprise that Virgin HQ has never been, and never will be, based in some faceless tower block. In the early days, business was conducted on his houseboat on the Thames or round the table at his local pub. Today the premises are more upmarket but still not conventional – Branson HQ is based in several converted houses in Holland Park, London.
According to Goffee and Jones the secret to authentic leadership is 'being yourself with more skill.' Branson is highly adept at this. He is famously affable and self-effacing. But don't let his geniality fool you – when it comes to negotiation, for example, few do it better. Those who know him well prefer to do business through their lawyers, which says much about his powers of persuasion.
When he was a young man, Branson lived in a commune where any food, money and possessions he and his fellow lodgers could muster would be shared equally between them. With few rules in place and everyone living in close proximity, this period of Branson's life doubtless helped him to learn a lot about what makes people tick – an invaluable skill for any leader. Branson plays up his personal differences to attract and excite followers who want to be around someone who is the antithesis of the archetypal pinstripe-suited business leader.
He makes the most out of life and believes that work should be enjoyable. By making work a fun place to be, Branson manages to recreate his own infectious enthusiasm for life, which gives employees a buzz, encourages them to work hard and to feel they are contributing to something worthwhile. Particularly in the early years of Virgin, his employees were expected to work hard without being very well paid. But Branson compensated by throwing parties that got employees together, and which helped blur the edges between work and social life. Importantly, he is said to treat employees throughout the organisation with the same levels of respect. And he doesn't ask anyone to do anything he wouldn't do himself.
Social networking technology suits Branson's approachable leadership style. He blogs and posts regular updates via Twitter, and likes to keep in touch with the zeitgeist – a key skill of the authentic leader is to be tuned in to their strategic environment, which is exactly what Branson does.
Another important aspect of authentic leadership is a willingness to expose weaknesses. Branson is no exception. He openly admits that his top management team not only complements his strengths but also compensates for his shortcomings. Branson failed maths three times at school and makes no secret of the fact. He has a team of financiers to do all the calculations while he uses his gut instinct to know if a deal is a good one or not.
He is also not averse to showing his weaknesses to others on occasion. For example, he has been known to take his staff out and to let his hair down with them. Allowing people see your human side, Branson believes, can earn rather than lose respect.
Branson knows that his strength lies in being able to spot and nurture new business ideas. His childlike enthusiasm can be short-lived, however, so he spends the first three months of any new venture being heavily involved, before handing over the reins to a capable management team. He gives the chief executive of each company a stake in the business because he knows that this investment will ensure their commitment to making the business work.
Will it offer good value for money?
Will it enhance the Virgin brand?
Can we make it profitable?
Will we have fun doing it?
If employees fail to perform in one area of the business, Branson will give them a second chance elsewhere, believing that if people find their niche, they will be happy and work hard. This trust in others has helped him to build a loyal employee base that is prepared to go more than the extra mile to please their boss and to achieve Virgin's challenging goals. There is little question that Richard Branson is a one-off. There is no other business leader quite like him. His quirky style, his affable approach, and his seeming ability to be all things to all people mean that he is rightly admired as a credible and highly effective leader. His leadership approach provides an excellent study in how authentic leadership can produce impressive results.

First Production Land Rover Discovery Sport is a Virgin Car
A mere 2 weeks after making its motor show debut in Paris, the first production Land Rover Discovery Sport has rolled off Land Rover's production line in Halewood, ready for its journey to Virgin Galactic's HQ where it will be used by the team there as they continue to prepare for the launch of the world's first commercial spaceline. This, of course, ties in with the Galactic Discovery competition that Land Rover recently announced where the four winners will go into space as part of the Virgin Galactic project.
The new Discovery Sport is the world's most versatile and capable premium compact SUV that is no larger than the existing Discovery, and the first member of the new Discovery family. But not only that, this latest model in the Land Rover line-up has created 250 new manufacturing jobs at Halewood following a £200mn investment in the Halewood plant, along with safeguarding and creating over 1,000 jobs in the UK supply chain with £3.5bn in contracts being awarded to 55 companies supplying components to Jaguar Land Rover.
Ian Harnett, Jaguar Land Rover's Purchasing Director said: "A strong, competitive supply chain, meeting our rigorous cost and delivery metrics, is fundamental to the sustainable growth of our business. With many more new products in the pipeline, gearing up to supply Jaguar Land Rover is a solid business proposition."
The Halewood plant already oversees production of Land Rover's fastest selling model of all time - the Range Rover Evoque – and has seen investment in the site more than double and workforce treble over the last four years with 4,750 people now employed at the site.
And as the First Land Rover Discovery Sport rolled off the production line, many of those employees were there to witness it, along with local dignitaries. The Kaikoura Stone HSE Luxury spec vehicle was then officially handed over to Stephen Attenborough, Commercial Director of Virgin Galactic, to reinforce the support that Land Rover has with Richard Branson's pioneering commercial spaceline.
"It fills me with pride to have seen the first new Discovery Sport coming off the line here at our world-class Halewood production facility. We are now even more excited to hand the keys over to the crew at Virgin Galactic. The new car embodies Land Rover's spirit of Above and Beyond, so it's fitting that it will be used by a similarly pioneering company in Virgin Galactic," said Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programmes.
And his excitement was backed up by Richard Else, Jaguar Land Rover Halewood Operations Director, who said: "Today marks another incredibly proud moment for the Halewood plant, its workforce and the region as a whole. The decision to build the Land Rover Discovery Sport here at Halewood is a testament to our tremendous team who are committed to delivering outstanding customer quality as demonstrated by the award winning Range Rover Evoque. Investment in the plant since 2011 now stands at £500mn and has most recently been demonstrated with the installation of a £45mn state-of-the-art Aida servo press line which provided the backdrop to today's event."
More details on the Land Rover Discovery Sport that goes on sale around the globe in 170 markets in early 2015 will be released nearer its production launch date, and the Land Rover Galactic Discovery competition will run to 21st November.


I meet with people all the time who complain about all kinds of things that can be traced back to poor or sinful choices they've often made.
A man's wife walked out on him because he worked too hard "for the family." But, he then asks me, "Why would a Christian woman do that to me," as if he was the victim.
A couple has insurmountable credit card debt because they wanted nice things "for their children." And they ask me why God doesn't provide a way out.
A man or woman's alcohol use, infidelity or abusive behavior is destroying their relationship and the abuser questions why God would let this happen to them.
My father died of lung cancer at age 47. I don't recall him ever asking "why?" He knew why. He was a smoker. God didn't let this happen to him. My dad killed himself slowly, smoking little "peanut butter sandwiches" twenty times a day.
So what are the peanut butter sandwiches in your life?
What unwise or sinful choices are you making, even today that others have been telling you that you may be the true source of your frustration, unhappiness or failures? You cannot always control what others do, but you can take control of your own life.
A wise family counselor once told me, "Clare, nothing changes, if nothing changes." His point was this; if I wanted change in my life, I'm the one who has to change. Waiting for others to change and blaming them for my problems, solves nothing.
In The 10 Second Rule, there is a chapter on pre-decisions. A pre-decision is a conscience choice to begin acting differently, when you know what you've been doing just isn't working.
Right now, ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of any peanut butter sandwiches in your life. Ask him for the gift of discernment and wisdom not only to recognize them, but the courage to act to overcome them. Then make some pre-decisions to change your behavior.
Perhaps there's a person you've been spiritually mentoring who needs to hear the peanut butter sandwich story to convict them to "own" their responsibility. If God has given you a 10 second rule impression of a person who needs to hear this teaching, do it!

CHC Revelations: Poor Explanations Resulted In Resignations
Posted by Nailed Truth in C3 & Pringles Associations
auditors, audits, bonds, CHC, City Harvest Church, courts, Kong Hee, Mr Sim, Sun Ho, xtron
The "rats" continue to "jump".
Channel News Asia reports,
CHC trial: Bond investments "do not make sense", says auditor
The lead auditor going through the City Harvest Church's books testified on Tuesday that the bond investments made by the church and some related firms "do not make sense" and had "gone one round".
SINGAPORE: The lead auditor going through the City Harvest Church's books testified on Tuesday that the bond investments made by the church and some related firms "do not make sense" and had "gone one round".
On the stand for the third day, Sim Guan Seng of Baker Tilly was taken through the church's investments, which were subsequently invested in or loaned to other firms.
These related firms were AMAC Capital Partners, Xtron, Firna and Ultimate Assets.
The church had invested in a "special opportunity fund" (SOF) in AMAC, which was owned by accused Chew Eng Han.
AMAC was the fund manager of the church at that time.
Through documents raised in court, Mr Sim said AMAC then loaned the church's money to Ultimate Assets, which in turn used the same sum of money and loaned it to Firna, also known as PT The First National Glassware.
Ultimate Assets and Firna are owned by businessman and long-time church member Wahju Hanafi, who testified in the trial previously.
Mr Sim added that Firna then used the same sum to redeem the Firna bond.
He described this as "round one".
The witness said "the same thing happened" for "round two", where a similar cycle took place.
In all, the church invested S$11.4 million in AMAC's SOF in different tranches.
Mr Sim noted the initial sum of S$11.4 million made "one round".
Mr Sim said adding to the "confusing" transactions was the advanced rental agreement between the church and events company Xtron, which also made "one round".
Mr Sim told the court that the advanced rental from the church paid to Xtron was used by Xtron to invest in Firna bonds.
Firna would then repay the loan it took from Ultimate Assets and then Ultimate Assets would repay the loan to AMAC.
This made it possible for AMAC to redeem the S$11.4 million bonds bought by the church.
When asked about the significance of these transactions, Mr Sim said it meant that the church started off with an investment in Firna and ended up with advanced rental paid to Xtron in their books.
"Looking at the Excel sheet would lead me to question whether the investments by CHC in SOF… are really investments in the first place or if they are done to facilitate or to help Firna repay the Firna bonds that City Harvest had invested in," said Mr Sim.
"The amount transferred seems to facilitate that.
"Just looking at this spreadsheet, it seems to be a plan to enable Firna to repay the bond before the end of the financial year. So, that means the SOF investment itself would be a very questionable investment."
Mr Sim added that this would then raise the doubt that the church and Xtron entered into the advance rental agreement for purposes other than what was represented to him.
The prosecution's case is that church founder Kong Hee and his five deputies misused millions of the church's building fund to boost singer Sun Ho's career.
They alleged that the accused did so through "sham bond investments" in Xtron and Firna.
It is also the prosecution's case that some of the accused tried to cover up the misuse through what it calls "round-tripping".
The court heard that the church had previously declared that no money was lost from its kitty.
This is also part of the accused persons' line of defence.
During the hearing, Mr Sim also said Baker Tilly had resigned as auditors of the church last October.
He said they had conducted their audit for 2010 mid-way and had raised several issues to the management and board but were unable to obtain satisfactory answers, so they decided to step down.
The firm has resigned from Xtron as well.
Mr Sim will be cross-examined by the defence on Wednesday.

Quite a long time since chapter 1b, and for no reason I'm writing quite slow......phew! This is really a long chapter-and long long story. I wonder if it's completed, will it become a novel?
Thankx for reading my work!!! I'll do my best to keep it good. Like if you enjoy it, comment if you want to teach me something or share your feedbacks!
Shine's legs that are wearing a pair of glittering, light-steel armour boots give out an extremely rapid, impatient series of stepping sound when she is running in full boost towards SilverLeaf Academy. Dozens of familiar, busy streets and citizens around her zoom pass like a flowing picture. After five plus minutes, the unique aluminium-crafted front gate of the famous school finally appears upon her vision field.
"The feeling just like a horrible storm coming ahead......it's growing stronger and stronger! This is definitely NO GOOD!!!" This young, athletic and Kung-Fu professional shoujo fully believes in her accurate instincts, growing even more worried and nervous. When approaching the last few metres before the aluminium gate, Shine immediately jumps up into mid-air, flipping her body upside own using her flexible and tough arms performing a graceful somersault, finally lands with a heavy "thump" and glides her way towards the school gate using her steel-armour boots.
"Who are you there?!" Shine immediately detects a trail of unfriendly from the person's speaking way, and glares straight forward at his direction with a fully-alarmed and nervous heart. As this shoujo trainer finds Miss Hoon that stood two steps behind-who's usually daring and cheerful has a great worried, depressed and serious look on her face......she knows that a very big trouble is ahead.
About five metres in front of young Shine and Miss Hoon who is a ten-year experienced teacher from this SilverLeaf Academy, is an unbelievably handsome and intelligent-looking young man. He has short, black-silver hair, and attractive blue eyes. He stood there watching the alerted student and the anxious teacher in a relaxed and easy position, a silver scarf on his neck is drifting slowly by the breeze. Plus the indigo jeans and long sleeve white yarn shirt that he wears-that looks quite lazy and annoying.
As Miss Hoon, together with the gorgeous crowd of other SilverLeaf teachers and student-trainers discover the courageous and ready-for-anything look on this shoujo's face, they all start to cheer and shout loudly while she and the enchantingly-handsome, proud young man paces slowly towards a Pokémon battlefield together. The whole SilverLeaf Academy is gathering all their strength and last hope onto this ambitious, young teen girl! It's a trainer battle that bets a great amount of glory!!!
Every single student-trainer no matter juniors or seniors, and also the whole crowd of teachers no matter knowing Shine extremely well or not, all the members of this endangered Pokémon training academy become very nervous, excited and depressed by this breath-taking moment. Miss Hoon too stares at Shine with deeply worried, but hopeful eyes.
I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting......full apology here. Hope you guys still enjoy my story!

The sister of Hippolyta, general of the Amazonian army, Diana's aunt and mentor.[17] On being cast for the film, Wright said, "It's two-fold because when Patty Jenkins called me, the director, it was a three-minute long conversation. She said, 'I'm doing a movie about Wonder Woman. Do you want to be her trainer?' And I was like, 'Yes. Of course.' And the general of the Amazonian army. That was pretty cool."[25] Describing her character mentoring and training Diana to be a warrior, Wright said, "It's a sixth sense that it is coming and I think that's also in the mythological story behind Antiope and Queen Hippolyta. They know it's coming and it's her duty as the aunt to her young niece to make sure she is the fiercest warrior of all time." On the Amazons fighting style, Wright said, "It's hand combat. Yes, swords and knives and arrows, but the precision that they have, right, as these warrior women; it's so nice to see that disparity between what we had in the day of just raw fighting materials and the guns and how easy that is in comparison." The message of the film, Wright stated, "is not just female empowerment. It's about love and justice. That's what the film's about. And what a great message to spread to our little ones."[26][27] Commenting about training for the film, Wright said, "The most empowering was to get into that physical shape. So we were doing horseback riding training, weight training, martial arts, and 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day".[28]
Wonder Woman was taken to Zamaron where the Star Sapphires informed her that a Dark God had taken hold there, too. Diana fought the newly-emerged Karnell, Dark God of Love, who informed Diana that he and his brethren had come from the Dark Multiverse, which the Justice League had recently encountered. When Diana wore the Tenth Metal during the climax of the Justice League's battle with Barbatos, Diana had wished for the gods' return. Though she had meant the Gods of Olympus, the Dark Multiverse's gods were chosen instead, and thus she had unintentionally caused their invasion. Together with the Star Sapphire Corps, Wonder Woman was able to defeat Karnell, who retreated back to Earth. Wonder Woman left the Corps and returned home.[102] In her absence, Jason had united with the Justice League and fought the Dark Gods, who had plunged Earth into chaos. Suddenly, the Dark Gods disappeared, only for them to return with Jason at their side.[103] Jason fought Wonder Woman, but after he led her away from the Dark Gods, he revealed that he was using his armor to channel the power of Dolos, God of Deception, and was in fact deceiving the Dark Gods. Using the wisdom of Athena, Jason developed a plan to convince the Dark Gods to retreat back to their reality. He offered himself, along with the power of the Greek Pantheon, in exchange for the Dark Gods leaving Earth. The Dark Gods accepted the proposal and Diana tearfully said goodbye to her brother, who was taken with them to the Dark Multiverse. The planet was saved and its people returned to normal, but Diana was distraught over the loss of her brother.[104]
For unexplained reasons, Heracles struck a deal with a mortal man, Harold Campion, whereby the two would exchange places (Earth for Olympus) Heracles used the mirror of Circe to conceal his identity and adventured under the name Champion.[16] He cast a love spell on Diana and accompanied her for a time, until Diana discovered his true identity.[17]
We expect to see solo movies for Cyborg, Batman, and the Flash , but while Cyborg is scheduled for April 2020, The Flash and The Batman may be delayed due to shake-ups within their creative teams. Warner Bros. plans to release Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) in February 2020, make a Green Lantern Corps movie for summer 2020 and has several other spinoffs in the works, including Batgirl and a Suicide Squad sequel directed by James Gunn.
Later, Diana, Zola and Hera had lunch while they were watched by Hermes. Orion, believing Hermes had bad intentions, attacked him before being stopped by Wonder Woman, and at the same time Strife appeared. Back at the apartment, Strife gave War's helmet to Diana, even though Diana still felt uncomfortable at becoming the new Goddess of War. In that moment, Siracca entered the apartment and told Diana that Milan had been captured by Cassandra. Wonder Woman asked Hermes to take her to Chernobyl, and he accepted to help.[38]
Wonder Woman and Hermes briefly returned to Themyscira so that Diana could pay her respects to her petrified mother. When they got back to her apartment, they found Hera crying and mourning the days when she used to be a goddess. As Diana comforted her, she realized she would need help in finding Zola and Zeke. Wonder Woman went to the Taiga, Siberia, where she asked Artemis for her help. Artemis agreed, on the condition that she and Diana have a rematch. Knowing they are in Artemis' realm, Diana threw the fight in Artemis' favor.[40]
When she is preparing for the final game (Teaming up with Supergirl, Starfire, Bumblebee and Batgirl against Lobo, Maxima, Bleez, Mongal and Blackfire), the competition is interrupted by Lena Luthor. Wonder Woman starts putting civilians safe, including the Embassador, who, out of fear, orders her to star with him to protect him. She refuses and returns to the batlle, angering the Embassador. She fight Lena and then Brainiac. Upon their defeat, Wonder Woman rejoins with her mother, thinking she dissapointed her by no following the Embassador orders, but Hippolyta is proud instead, stating that Wonder Woman will be an amazing Queen.
Ares appears as a major antagonist in the live action Wonder Woman film. In Queen Hippolyta's story about Ares which she reads to Diana, Ares was condemned by the other Olympian Gods for his warmongering which led to him killing the Gods where the images show him killing Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hades, Hestia, and Poseidon until Zeus drove him off of Mount Olympus with his thunderbolts. In his dying breath, Zeus created Themyscira for the Amazons and left them the "Godkiller" required to kill Ares should he rise again. This happens during World War I where Wonder Woman managed to slay Ares.

During 1942 to 1947, images of bound and gagged women frequently graced the covers of both Sensation Comics and Wonder Woman. An early example includes a scene in Wonder Woman #3 (Feb.-March 1943), Wonder Woman herself ties up several women, dresses them in deer costumes and chases them through the forest. Later she rebinds them and displays them on a platter.[3][4]
The last issue of Wonder Woman saw very little of the Amazon. Instead, we watched her brother, Jason, launch an attack against the Dark Gods. He first tries to take on the Gods, named Karnell, Savage Fire, the Mob God, and the God with No Name. They quickly defeat him, but Jason gets the backup of Supergirl and the Justice League for round 2. The Dark Gods, however, aren't pushovers and promptly defeat the heroes thanks to their leader, King Best. Before all seems lost, Diana returns just as King Best takes form and begins his path of destruction. Will Wonder Woman and Jason be able to contain this madness?
Hermaphroditus	Wonder Woman #69 (April 24, 2019)	Hermaphroditus is the God of Androgyny, Sexuality, Unions, Fertility and Marriage who is based on the god of the same name. In the DC Universe, Hermaphroditus is a transgender deity with angelic wings and goes by the name "Atlantiades". He revealed that he left Mount Olympus in hopes to get away from his mother Aphrodite and decided to take refuge on earth in a neighborhood called Summergrove in Connecticut. He used his powers to influence the Summergrove residents to submit to their inner desires.
When she has matured into an adult, Menalippe, the Oracle of the Amazons sees a vision in which the Gods and humanity is in danger from Ares. Soon they are approached by the Gods and tasked with organizing a tournament in order to chose a champion, who will save them from impending Doom. Diana competes against her mother's wish and win. Athena then sends her a weapon, the Lasso of Truth forged by Hephaestus from the girdle of Gaea.

Wonder Woman had a minor role in Young Justice. Initially, the character was going to be excluded from the show due to legal red tape, but was included at the last minute. However, as a result of only being cleared for use late in the production cycle, she only had several speaking appearances. In the second season, she could be seen as the mentor of Wonder Girl. She was voiced by Maggie Q.
Wonder Woman had its world premiere in Shanghai on May 15, 2017, and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017, in 2D, Real D 3D, and IMAX 3D by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received largely positive reviews, with praise for its direction, acting, visuals, action sequences, and musical score, although the portrayal of its villains and the ending received some criticism.[8] The film set several box office records,[9] and became the fifth highest-grossing superhero film domestically and 20th highest-grossing film in the United States overall. It grossed over $821 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2017. As of August 2019, Rotten Tomatoes has listed the film fourth on its list of the "Best Superhero Movies of All Time",[10][note 1] and the American Film Institute selected it as one of the top 10 films of 2017.[11] A sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, is scheduled to be released on June 5, 2020, with Jenkins returning as director and Gadot reprising her role.
In February 1941, Marston submitted a draft of his first script, explaining the "under-meaning" of Wonder Woman's Amazonian origins in ancient Greece, where men had kept women in chains, until they broke free and escaped. "The NEW WOMEN thus freed and strengthened by supporting themselves (on Paradise Island) developed enormous physical and mental power." His comic, he said, was meant to chronicle "a great movement now under way—the growth in the power of women."
Invisible Plane: Wonder Woman possesses an airplane capable of rendering itself completely invisible to the human eye. Like her bracelets, Diana's invisible plane is forged with Eighth Metal, making it almost indestructible.[115] The Invisible Plane was originally the aircraft Steve Trevor crashed onto Themyscira; it was repaired by the Amazons and upgraded with their technology.[116][117]
Originally signed for three feature films, with Wonder Woman and Justice League being her second and third films, Gadot signed an extension to her contract for additional films.[313] Jenkins initially signed for only one film,[314] but in an interview with Variety, Geoff Johns revealed that he and Jenkins were writing the treatment for a Wonder Woman sequel and that he has a "cool idea for the second one". At the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, Warner Bros. officially announced a sequel would be released on December 13, 2019, and would be titled Wonder Woman 2; the date was later moved up to November 1, 2019, to avoid competition with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.[315][316][317] Later, Jenkins was officially signed to return as director, with confirmation that Gadot will be returning as the titular role.[318] Days later, the studio hired Dave Callaham to co-write the film's script with Jenkins and Johns.[319] On March 9, 2018, Kristen Wiig was confirmed to play Cheetah, the villain of the film.[320] Later that month, it was announced that Pedro Pascal would have a key role in the film.[321] In May 2018, long-time DCEU producer Zack Snyder confirmed on social media platform Vero that he, along with wife Deborah Snyder, will serve as producers on the Wonder Woman sequel.[322] In June 2018, the title of the film was announced to be Wonder Woman 1984.[323] A third film was announced in January 2019 to be taking place in the present.[324]
In March 2005, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the film.[74] Early drafts of his screenplay included Steve Trevor as the narrator, a fierce battle between Diana and her mother over Trevor's welfare, and after leaving Themyscira, his need to frequently rescue a Diana rendered helpless by the modern world.[75] Whedon was not able to complete a final version of his screenplay, and left the project in 2007.[76][77]
As a result of the New 52 in 2011, the entire line of DC characters was relaunched, incorporating properties belonging to the company's imprints: Wildstorm, Milestone, and Vertigo. As such, elements of this character's history have been altered in some way from the previous incarnation's. For a complete list of all versions of this character, see our disambiguation page.
Beyond the US and Canada, the film was released day-and-date with its North American debut in 55 markets (72% of its total release), and was projected to debut with anywhere between $92–118 million.[174] It ended up opening to $125 million, including $38 million in China, $8.5 million in Korea, $8.4 million in Mexico, $8.3 million in Brazil and $7.5 million in the UK.[193] In its second week of release, the film brought in another $60 million, including holding the top spot on France, the UK, Australia and Brazil.[194] In the Philippines, it broke 2017 box office record for highest-earning non-holiday opening day—earning $4.7 million and becoming the 9th-most successful commercial film of all time as well overtaking the record set by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[195][196][197] The film opened in its last market, Japan, on August 25 and debuted to $3.4 million, helping the international gross cross the $400 million mark.[198] The biggest markets of Wonder Woman outside North America are China (US$90 million) followed by Brazil (US$34 million), UK (US$28 million), Australia($23 million) and Mexico($22 million).[199]
In 2016, DC Comics once again relaunched all of its publications as part of the "DC Rebirth" continuity reboot, and the new fifth volume of Wonder Woman was released bi-monthly with writer Greg Rucka. This fifth volume of Wonder Woman is part of the "DC Universe", the current continuity established after Rebirth. Initially, the new series does not use a regular storyline that exists between each issue; instead two separate storylines share the book, with an installment of one story published every other issue, and those of the other storyline published in between those. This practice began with the storyline "The Lies" for the odd numbered issues, and "Year One" for the even numbered issues. The new storyline as presented in these issues effectively retcons the events from the previous New 52 series. "The Lies"[51] storyline reveals that a number of events from the previous Wonder Woman series in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War, was in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain, and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left, nor is she capable of returning there. The "Year One" story is presented as an all-new origin story for Diana,[52] which reveals how she received her powers from the Olympian Gods,[53] which was intended to bring her back to her classical DC roots. Wonder Woman appears in DC Rebirth with a revised look, which includes a red cape and light armor fittings. Along with her lasso and bracelets, she now regularly utilizes her sword and shield. Wonder Woman: Rebirth artist Liam Sharp described the new armor as a utilitarian piece which allows her to move more freely.[54] Starting from Issue 26, the series returned to a regular storyline between each issue.
This new era of the comic book was influenced by the British television series The Avengers, with Wonder Woman in the role of Emma Peel.[10] With Diana Prince running a boutique, fighting crime, and acting in concert with private detective allies Tim Trench and Jonny Double, the character resembled the Golden Age Black Canary. Soon after the launch of the "new" Wonder Woman, the editors severed all connections to her old life, most notably by killing Steve Trevor.[11]
As early as the 1950s,[210] Wonder Woman's tiara has also been used as a razor-edged throwing weapon, returning to her like a boomerang.[183] The tiara allows Wonder Woman to be invulnerable from telepathic attacks, as well as allowing her to telepathically contact people such as the Amazons back on Themyscira using the power of the red star ruby in its center.[63]
In May 2017, early tracking had Wonder Woman opening with $65–75 million, and possibly as high as $105 million.[177][178][179][180][174] The film opened Friday, June 2, 2017, across 4,165 theaters and made $38.7 million on its opening day, including $3.7 million in IMAX. It was the biggest single-day gross for a woman-directed film, ahead of the $35.9 million opening Friday of Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight in 2008 and the biggest opening day for a woman-led comic book superhero film, ahead of Ghost in the Shell ($7 million).[181] This included $11 million it made from Thursday previews, also the best start for a film directed by a woman, surpassing Fifty Shades of Grey's $8.6 million which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, and the third-biggest of the year, behind Beauty and the Beast and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Of that, $1.5 million came from IMAX screenings.[182][183]

Prada was started by Mario and Martino Prada. The brothers in 1913 as a leather goods shop. they imported goods from England as well as made handbags. The brother Mario didn't think that women should be involved in business so he prevented any female family members from joining the company. Mario's son wanted nothing to do with the company, his daughter Luisa Prada ended up taking over the company and successfully running the company for over 20 years. At around the end of 20 years Luisa's daughter Miuccia Prada took over the company after that and continued to help the company grow into the behemoth it is now……..Read about the History of Prada…..Click the link.

What a difference a year makes! 2016, westerly, around 28 knots across the deck, we don't have a wind instrument, but BFG getting dragged sideways off Ventnor for 10 minutes when she got thrown by a rather large wave up under her quarter, well, that's my excuse, nothing to do with my helmsmanship, and Kallista dropping her rig around the same time. Bit of a blow.
This year, wonderful. (apart from the unfriendly start time of 06.30) Breakfast at 04.30 was a challenge. It was a big-boat day, lots of reaches. A very big boat, one of a stable of boats called "Yes", owned, apparently, by the boss of National Car Parks, broke the monohull time around the Isle. Think on that next time you punch your card into an NCP Car Park kiosk, you are subsidising the guy who won the Golden Bowl.
It was a bit different at our end of the 1300+ total fleet. IRC Class 3D, the one within which we race for the Sonata Salver. BFG, always a bit maverick, chose a pin-end favoured start, it is a very long line. Kallista and Wasp, I guess, took the tide advantage closer to the Squadron. We never saw our competing Sonatas until after the Needles gap and they were both in front of us. In my defence, on the, several wind predictions we had, there was a possibility that windward advantage would have paid handsomely. Not so, tide advantage won out. C'est La Vie. RTI is all about judgement calls on tide/wind, some navigation and, this year, boat speed. Bit different from most Sonata racing.
Kallista and BFG played games between them down the southern side, again, up the Solent side. Think our positions changed at least four times. Great, competitive racing between us. We, all three, finished within minutes of each other. Bit of an accolade to the skills of our Sonata fleet crews over an 8-hour race.
I have to apologise to Chris, Kallista, for running him so far into Sandown Bay, just because I could. We didn't have, at the time, a working depth-sounder. We were working on where the seaweed was in relation to our keel. Turns out, Chris told us later, it was just 20cm from a hit. Sorry, Chris, guess it's our east coast training where sandbanks with drying heights appear out of sight of land.
Well done, Wasp, you sailed an excellent race. Your name on the Salver this year, then. Bit to go, BFG, three times, Kallister, once, I think, Chris Ratsey, a sailmaker of that parish, four.

In cross-currency trade, the Indian unit also rallied against the British pound to conclude at 84.36 from 85.11 per pound.
Mumbai: Extending its winning run for the fifth straight session, the rupee on Tuesday rose by 8 paise to hit one-month high of 67.87 against the US currency on sustained selling of the dollar by exporters and banks ahead of the Union Budget to be presented on Wednesday.
Expectations of an economically balanced Budget by sticking to its fiscal consolidation path which will give room for RBI to cut key rates along with robust capital inflows predominantly weighed on the local unit, despite a massive sell-off in equities.
Extreme dollar volatility in the midst of new US President Donald Trump's protectionist policies also supported the trading sentiment.
Though, the Economic Survey on Tuesday projected a lower economic growth of 6.5 per cent for this fiscal, impacted by demonetisation shock, but said it will rebound to 6.75-7.5 per cent in the next financial year.
Domestic markets remained in tentative mood and took a steep plunge as investors turned cautious ahead of tomorrow's Budget announcements.
The local unit resumed sharply higher at 67.84 from overnight close of 67.95 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market and largely traded in a narrow range.
It gained further ground in late afternoon deals to hit an intra-day high of 67.79 before finishing at 67.87, showing a gain of 8 paise, or 0.12 per cent - a level not seen since December 26, 2016.
Meanwhile, foreign funds remained net buyers and bought shares worth a net Rs 607.36 crore on Monday.
In worldwide trade, the dollar remained weaker against a basket of the other major currencies on growing concerns over the destabilising impact of Trump's immigration policy continued to generate risk aversion.
The US dollar index was trading sharply lower at 99.94 in late afternoon session.
The RBI fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 67.8125 and for the euro at 72.5526.
But, it fell back against the euro to finish at 72.67 from 72.56 and also drifted against the Japanese Yen to close at 59.60 per 100 yens from 59.22 earlier.
Meanwhile, domestic bourses continued their downtrend for the second-straight day on broad-based selling spree along with massive unwinding in technology shares impacted by Trump's immigration policies even as sentiment remained dampened following lower growth projections by the economic survey.
The benchmark Sensex tumbled over 193 points to end at 27,655.96, while Nifty crumbled 71.45 points to 8,561.30.
In the forward market, premium for dollar showed a steady to firm trend owing to lack of market moving factors.
The benchmark six-month premium for June was quoted steady at 133-135 paise, while the far-forward December 2017 contract edged higher to 276-278 paise from 275.5-277.5 paise.
Crude prices prices traded little changed as rising US output largely weighed on trade.

Miners hopeful about new constitutional process after Chileans reject proposed text
Bnamericas Published: Tuesday, September 06, 2022
Politics Elections Commodities
Nearly 62% of Chilean voters rejected the proposed new constitution on Sunday, with representatives of the mining industry pleased that the draft Magna Carta will now not be implemented.
President Gabriel Boric reacted by calling on the country's political parties, social movements and representatives of civil society to address the continuation of the constituent process, since an overwhelming 78% of Chileans voted to change Chile's current constitution back in 2020.
Joaquín Villarino, president of Chile's mining council, stated in a Linkedin post that he was aware that the demand for a new constitution is still alive, which will continue pressing the mining industry to reduce its emissions and water consumption, in addition to encouraging greater use of renewable energies and technologies.
The text of the proposed constitution had a strong focus on the involvement of the State and environmental issues, but created some uncertainty with issues such as the elimination of the senate, the lack of definition of private property in certain areas and the plurinational character of the country, suggesting that Chile would be constituted by a series of groups, instead of being recognized as a single nation.
In mining terms, the failure to outline any guarantees for mining property or the proposal to make it illegal to carry out mining in glacial zones or protected areas determined by law produced doubts about which territories would be the object of these definitions. Consequently, there were concerns that the sustainability of some mining projects could be seriously impaired.
Jorge Riesco, who recently took over as president of national mining association Sonami, said in a release that Sunday's vote provides the opportunity to draft a new constitution where progress can be made on social issues, in addition to ensuring free enterprise and national economic growth, both of which are essential to give stability to the changes that Chile requires, he added.
Andrónico Luksic, member of the Luksic business consortium, which is the majority owner of Antofagasta plc, praised the exit referendum result and called on the country to leave behind divisions and violence and move towards a new constitution that is "well done, that reunites us and drives the future," he said on Twitter.
"Chile's rejection of the constitutional proposal removes certain political concerns that could have resulted in higher structural public spending and other potentially negative credit developments for the sovereign. However, uncertainty remains about the next phase of the constitutional reform process, which could weigh on policymaking and investment until there is a clearer definition," William Foster, vice president of Moody's Investors Service, said in a statement after the referendum result was made known.
Chile's mining chamber, through president Miguel Zauschkevich, pledged its support for the new constitutional process and called for all parties to work together towards a country with equity, that promotes investment and which allows the productive development of mining.
