2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Black Edition
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport – The all-new Legacy Sport is a mid-size sedan with a sleek and modern design. As the new entry-level model, the Legacy Sport offers upgraded features and an impressive style.
The standard features of the Legacy Sports include 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power passenger seat, and a hands-free Bluetooth connection.
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Black
Safety equipment includes dual front impact airbags, a pre-collision safety system, integrated blind spot mirrors, and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Legacy Sport is in for a transformation in 2022. It was offered with a manual or automatic transmission, and it had the rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Its exterior had to do with its heritage by using exclusive beige. Its interior has a spacious cabin that seats five people.
For 2022, the mid-level Sport adds a powered sunroof, automatic reverse emergency braking, and a blind-spot monitor. It maintains an SI-Drive mode, a two-tone interior, and a sporty evolving exterior.
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Features
Legacy Base prioritizes safety with standard all-wheel drive, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and automatic emergency like every Subarubraking.
It also comes with a 7.0-inch dual touch, Apple Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a dual USB port.
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Engine
Base, Premium, Sport, and Limited models come with a 2.5-liter flat-4. The 182 hp engine and 176 lb-ft of torque are channeled to all four wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission.
Shared with its platform partner, the 2022 Subaru Outback, the boxer engine gets the job done smoothly but lethargic.
Subaru has a more powerful engine, but not for sale in sport models. In the version denoted XT and available on the Limited but standard on top-range Touring trim, the 2.4-liter flat-4 turbocharged produces 260 hp and 277 lb-ft.
It's the same engine in Subaru Ascent's larger three-row SUV and uses tiered gears with predictable displacement like an 8-speed automatic transmission, even though it's a CVT.
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Interior
Subaru Legacy Sport has a comfortable and classy interior, one of the advantages of a midsize sedan. Has the right basics with lots of space, solid materials, and lots of features.
Notably, the available 11.6-inch touchscreen StarLink infotainment system is one of the largest in its segment and clearly displays the icons and large images of the camera system.
Across the range, the Legacy comes standard with features such as advanced adaptive cruise control, rearview camera, keyless entry system, and lane departure warning.
Work through trim and luxury items like power-adjustable front seats, heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control.
The Legacy offers interior dimensions suitable to accommodate four people comfortably or five people if needed.
Front riders get 39.4 inches of headroom (37.3 inches with moonroof), while rear-seat passengers get 37.2 inches.
The legroom is also spacious, with 42.8 inches in front and 39.5 inches in back. The seats are comfortable, the views are great on all sides, and there really is little to fault from a comfort point of view.
2022 Subaru Legacy Sport Colors
The new sporty Legacy design that Subaru is releasing in 2022 has four color variants. The colors are orange, green, blue, and gray.
In the U. S., Subaru Legacy Sport also comes in Black. The Legacy's legacy has changed a lot over the years, but it is still an impressive car.

After taking us through an 8-bit nostalgia trip with Disney's Wreck-It Ralph, directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston take their ham-fisted hero into the world wide web! Ralph Breaks the Internet hit theaters this week, and it finds Ralph and his pal Vanellope von Schweetz journeying into the sprawling, dangerous Internet to fix her broken Sugar Rush game.
I had the chance to talk with Moore and Johnston about the anticipated sequel, continuing Ralph's hero journey, our mutual love of Twisted Metal, the creation of Gal Gadot's Shank character, and more. You can check out the interview below, and my review of Ralph Breaks the Internet here!

Heikal Says El-Sisi Is 'Ideal' President For Egypt
By Amwal Al Ghad English	 On Apr 5, 2014
Prominent Egyptian journalist Mohamed Hassanein Heikal said on Thursday that presidential hopeful and former military chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is the "ideal man" to take on the presidency.
Heikal, a confidant of several Egyptian leaders, including former president Gamal Abdel-Nasser, is still an influential figure on Egypt's political scene.
In an interview with Egyptian private television channel CBC, Heikal said that former defence minister El-Sisi didn't need a presidential programme or campaign platform, and that he only needed to present himself as the man who can "overcome the current crisis."
Ongoing militant attacks by jihadist groups have claimed hundreds of lives since the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi last summer, while rights groups and some opposition politicians accuse authorities of severe rights abuses. Egypt's economy is also struggling, buoyed largely by injections of funds from Gulf countries.
Heikal said that El-Sisi's military background was necessary to deal with Egypt's current circumstances, adding that the military is the only entity capable of facing challenges.
The commentator said that El-Sisi had been determined last year that Egyptians should decide referendum whether to keep Morsi in office or not, but that "he caved to people's demands on 3 July, removing Morsi from office."
He said that he respects politician Hamdeen Sabahi, who has said he also plans to run in the upcoming election, but that Egypt's next stage will be highly dependent on the military forces, and thus the orders to the military should be "issued convincingly", something he said Sabahi would be unable to do.
Heikal mentioned he had met with El-Sisi in 2010, before the Egyptian revolution and before El-Sisi had been promoted to head of the armed forces.
Commenting on foreign affairs, the journalist said that he believed Egypt had committed "grave strategic mistakes" by pursuing the US as a gateway to prosperity in the last four decades, and dismissing other possibilities.
He decried Egypt's "isolation" from the rest of the world, and said that it had failed to focus on Arab and African ties because of its dependence on the US, citing Egypt's dispute with Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as an example.

Over at the Daily Yonder today, an article was posted about the National Rural Assembly being held in St. Paul, Minnesota right now. You can read Fighting for the 'Disconnected' at their site.
The basic summary is that the FTC is again talking about setting up new rules for how money currently collected for bringing phone connectivity to rural areas to bring broadband to rural areas. If I am correct, this has been discussed ad nauseum. What has been missing is any movement, plans or details about what is going to be done.
That's what rural communities would like to see, or a freeing up of communities to start to come up with their own solutions to this problem. I'm not holding my breath on this one, but I can hope for the best.

Q: How do I access an Azure Mobile Service as an admin from an app? I am currently attempting to create a phone app that has some admin-only functions (like doing database metrics and logistics). Unfortunately, for the life of me I can't get it to recognize me as having user.level == 'admin'. I've used the service master secret as the entry for the Mobile Service client, I've logged in using my administrator Microsoft Live account, I've tried different settings in the script permissions itself, all to no avail. Each time, it logs me as being authenticated instead of admin.
Currently my C# code is:
var user = await App.MobileService.LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.MicrosoftAccount);
var result = await App.MobileService.GetTable<MyDataRowObject>().ToListAsync();

I then access the result as an IEnumerable.
Thanks!

A: You can't do this from the mobile service client because accessing the server as admin requires a special header. This is by design, as they don't recommend embedding your master key into a client application.
Instead, you would do this from another trusted service and send the master key as the X-ZUMO-MASTER header.
However, if you want to do this from a particular app you would have a user table that identifies a list of power users and just support login from a standard supported mechanism.
Make sense?

Q: PHP shell_exec() script running from CPanel terminal but not from ajax POST call On my website, I have a javascript function that has a POST ajax call to a PHP file on the server (a GoDaddy VPS running CentOS 6), which executes a python script via shell_exec() and returns the output.
Javascript function:
function submitdivsheet()
{
    $.post("test.php", {}, function(data,status){
        console.log(data);
    });
}

PHP script: test.php
<?php
    $command = escapeshellcmd('python3.6 test.py');
    $output = shell_exec($command);
    echo $output;
?>

Python script: test.py
import sys
print("This is the output")

When I try to run the php file from the bash terminal on CPanel, there are no issues,
as shown here. However, upon running the javascript function, only an empty string is output to the console. I'm not sure why it would only run on the CPanel terminal, but I suspect it could be a permissions issue somewhere. How can I fix this issue?
NOTE: This works fine on both the server and from the POST call if shell_exec() is not present. It seems that shell_exec is causing the problem.

EDIT:
Upon changing the PHP script to:
<?php print shell_exec('echo $PATH'); ?>

This is the output.

A: You are missing environment values when invoking python from the web server that are present in your shell. Candidates are PATH and the variables mentioned in the python man page.
Try this:
env -i python3.6 test.py

You will likely get some error messages that will hopefully point to the problem. Then try variables that are present in your shell environment, like:
env -i PYTHONHOME=$PYTHONHOME python3.6 test.py

Add all necessary environment variables. When this works, add them to the call to the script. When calling the script, you have supply the actual values for the variables, you can't refer to them as $PYTHONHOME.


I wanted to resist...but read enough spoilers on various other live journals to know what happened, so I ended up looking at the raw anyway...I could seriously hate Light (Raito) for this. His genius lies in manipulating others, and he seems to have manipulated them perfectly this time. I admired the way in which he managed to read into what everyone around him would do - what I don't want to forgive is the way he manipulated Rem to do what he wanted. I can only hope something he has overlooked will backfire on him.


You think that traditional braces will add glamour to your total look. Perhaps it will; but it comes with a sacrifice. The excitement of wearing it for the first time immediately turns into nightmare soon as you feel the throbbing pain and swelling caused by the realignment and pulling of your teeth. Your head aches and your gum and mouth hurt. But with affordable Invisalign, you can finally say goodbye to all these.
The use of aligners is a new approach to improve the alignment of your teeth without—or less of—all these discomforts. With its sequences of aligners made up of smooth, comfortable and almost invisible plastic, you can forget about the metal brackets and the wires that make your gum and your mouth feeling miserable every time. You can display a genuine smile because you feel good physically and emotionally.
This advanced method of dental treatment allows you to maintain a very good oral care. No metal brackets and wires will impede your efforts to clean your teeth thoroughly. You can brush and floss your teeth like you used to because you can easily remove it. You can then prevent tooth decay and plaque buildup, which is common to those who wear traditional braces.
Using aligners, you have four hours a day to rest your gum and you mouth because you are only obligated to wear them for 20 hours. You can spend these four hours to eating any food you want, cleaning your teeth any way you want and others.
If a special event in your life is coming and you think your braces are not appropriate for it, you can choose to remove and wear them the next day. Unlike old-style braces, you have to see your orthodontist and make a special request to have it removed for the meantime. The process may not only take some time but it may also become expensive on your part because she may ask for an extra fee for this service as she has to do everything all over again.
The average treatment using metal braces is two years. With affordable invisalign, the whole duration of the procedure depends on the quantity of trays a patient will use. You will wear each tray for two weeks. Simple cases take about four to six months. Serious cases may be up to a year or more but the average length of treatment is usually 10 to 12 months.
As you aim to straighten your teeth, you may also choose to synchronize this procedure with another one—teeth whitening. The aligners can function as whitening trays as well, giving you more reasons to give that confident smile.
Bullies love people with traditional braces. They call them with several names, such as metal mouth. Because invisalign aligners are almost invisible, these will not catch their attention; hence, preventing negative social and psychological effects on them.
The dental community gives a warm welcome to affordable invisalign. It lets patients like you to live a normal life. It is as if you do not have these modern braces on because you do not feel any usual discomfort, you receive no teases from bullies, you whiten your teeth at the same time and more importantly, you keep your oral health in great condition.

Your favorite Male & Female TV Characters of 2011 are..... Dean Winchester and Lois Lane
Since January 24, 2011 my site has hosted a league and playoff tournament to find out my readers favorite Male & Female TV characters.
After almost 6 months, over 29000 playoff votes counted, over 28000 regular season votes counted, plus thosands more that were discarded for various reasons....we have some champions.
144 characters, 80 male, 64 female characters started out with hopes & dreams back then. Early on, it became clear there was 8 or 10 characters whose fans had become quite determined to push their favorites to the top. I guess its no surprise, considering my site talks primarily about Vancouver based shows, most of those characters were from Vancouver shows.
Smallville had 4 characters in Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Oliver Queen & Chloe Sullivan who early on emerged as serious contenders. A twitter campaign by Olivers 1st round opponent thwarted his chance to go far. Clark Kent had an indominable regular season, but once the playoff format of no multiple voting was in place, his support tailed some. Still Clark pushed thru to the mens finals, before finally falling. Chloe managed to hold on till the elite 8 of the womens tourney before she finally gave way to her castmate, Lois Lane....the eventual winner of the womens division & the only undefeated contestant in either side of the tournament.
Supernatural super hunter Dean Winchester looked unstopable early, while the shows other characters like Sam Winchester, Bobby Singer, Castiel & Crowley all started slow, but gained momentum as things rolled along in the regular season. In the playoffs Castiel went out early, losing to eventual finalist Clark Kent in round 2. Crowley would meet the same fate in round 3, losing to Clark Kent. Bobby Singer came within 1 game of knocking off his buddy Dean Winchester in round 3, but eventually gave way to the man who would eventually go on to win the Mens title, Dean.
Fringe lead female character Agent Olivia Dunham looked poised to also take a run at the title in the regular season, as was agent Astrid Farnsworth who won her division in the regular season. Astrid could not continue the success in the playoffs, bowing out in the sweet 16 round of the womens division. The shows male counterparts Peter & Walter Bishop both had strong regular seasons, playoff success didnt follow them as much, with each bowing out before their own division finals. Agent Olivia Dunham pushed thru to the womens final, before eventually being swept by womens champion Lois Lame.
Sanctuary lead character Dr. Helen Magnus had a slow start & only barely got into the playoffs with a losing record none the less...but once there, she proved to be a formidable opponent as her fanbase caught on to the game & pushed her to the final 4 of the womens tournament before losing to eventual champ Lois Lane.
Stargate Universe had many challengers in the playoffs. But playoff success was limited for the SGU crew. With all the contestants, including 3 regular season division champs in Eli Wallace, Dr. Dale Volker & Vanessa James, from the now cancelled show bowing out by the sweet 16 draw of each side.
There was some success for shows not from the 604.
The Big Bang Theory had 3 male playoff contestants, with Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Raj Koothrappali & Howard Wolowitz all making it. None however found a terribly successful playoff formula. However, lead female Penny made it to the final 4 on the womens side & even had a 2-0 series lead before falling to Agent Olivia Dunham.
How I Met Your Mother had 3 division champs in the regular season. Robin Scherbatsky, & Lily Aldrin on the womens side. Both however fell in the womens sweet 16 round. On the mens side, Legen..wait for it...DARY ladies man Barney Stinson made it to the mens final 4 before falling to Clark Kent.
The Simpsons mastermind Homer Simpson made the mens final 4 finals before bowing out to eventual champion Dean Winchester.
Several other challengers like Richard Castle from Castle, Dr. Gregory House of House, Daphne Powell from No Ordinary Family, Penelope Garcia of Criminal Minds, Seeley Booth from Bones & Turanga Leela from Futurama also flirted with some playoff success before leaving in the elite 8 rounds of their respective genders.
In the end. Dean Winchester from Supernatural won the mens tournament over Clark Kent of Smallville, while Clarks main squeeze, Lois Lane defeated Agent Olivia Dunham from Fringe for the womens title.
So congratulations to your 2011 favorite TV character winners
Mens- DEAN WINCHESTER (Jensen Ackles) "Supernatural"
Womens- LOIS LANE (Erica Durance) Smallville
Sanctuary star Amanda Tapping returns from Comic-Con
The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con saw an appearance by 2 members from the Canadian Sci-Fi show Sanctuary.
While co-star Robin Dunne didnt come thru Vancouver this year (show is on hiatus right now), there was a sighting of Amanda Tapping (Dr. Helen Magnus) returning.
The former Stargate SGI, Atlantis & SGU star went down to Comic-Con evading the radar of all the hounds out this weekend, but upon returning, we managed to catch the Sanctuary star & Producer.
She seemed to be in a rush, but still didnt deny any requests for autographs, taking the time to sign a couple per person. This feat seemed even more admirable when Fringe star John Noble came by right behind her, was called out to by 1 of the fans & just simply said "hi" & kept walking.
Amanda is one of the stars from here I have probably met the most, and she has always been great. Here are a couple pics of her stopping to sign, despite being rushed to go.
Do not forget Sanctuary fans, check out my polls section to vote on the best vancouver based TV show poll that Sanctuary is in.


Am I Hallucinating, Or Does Alessandra Ambrosio Look Kind Of Not Hot Here?
Forget global warming. This development may be even more alarming. It appears that the laws of the universe have bended to allow the impossible to occur: Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio looked not only not completely hot but--dare I say it?--kind of, um, severe at a movie screening in New York yesterday.
The makeup gets an A in my book (eyes especially), but the hair? Maybe it's partly that we're used to seeing Alessandra in loose, goddesslike waves, but to me, this scalp-hugging, gel-heavy updo just looks like an old man's combover. But even if it were not overly tight and shiny, I think this deeply side-slicked look just wouldn't be the best on Alessandra because of her narrow-ish face and very strong jaw.
Now clearly it would take a lot more than a greasy, severe updo to make Alessandra even close to unattractive, but this photo can still serve as a valuable beauty lesson to the rest of us--not every hairdo flatters every face shape, even when you are a super-duper-model! So don't just copy something you see in a magazine--learn what really works on you.

Why Hair Growth is so Important for Mental Health
By KeraHealth | July 14, 2020
Hair loss is more prevalent today than ever before. In the US, around 35 million men and 21 million women are impacted by hair loss in some way. And, although hair loss increases with age, it is not solely impactful to older generations.It is known that around 25% of men who experience hair loss are actually impacted before the age of 21. It is extremely important to control this hair loss and do everything in your power to promote healthy hair growth as hair loss can signal other health problems, too.Having healthy and strong hair isn't just socially desirable, but actually impacts mental health in a larger way than would be expected. The insecurities that arise with hair loss can be quite difficult to deal with.In general, bald men are perceived as less successful. A study showed that 41% of male candidates with a full head of hair were selected for an interview for a job, whereas, only 27% of balding candidates were taken for interviews. Therefore, the fight for hair gain and doing this in the healthiest way possible is a large struggle in the modern day.
Hair loss can be caused by genetic makeup, diet and stress.
Incorporating a large array of vitamins and minerals into your everyday diet can begin to improve hair gain. Meditation and exercise are also large factors in promoting hair gain as these forms of activity are associated with stress-reduction. Meditation and exercise release endorphins and hormones such as serotonin (also known as the happy hormone) which can drastically reduce everyday stress. Antioxidants are also incorporated into some people's everyday routines as they impressively combat stress levels.
Mental health in the modern day is just as, if not more, important than physical health, and having a full head of hair can increase confidence, and therefore mental wellbeing. Therefore, these ordinary steps are not enough for some people's hair journey.As a result, supplementation is introduced into the diet in order to gain even more of the helpful ingredients that our hair needs to become strong and healthy. It is important to incorporate supplements that can help to re-stimulate hair growth and stop shedding.KeraHealth products do this to the best degree, whilst also remaining naturally sourced and clinically tested. The incorporation of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body are one of the ways in which KeraHealth hair-growth results are so admirable.KerCysteine, biotin and antioxidants are just some of the ingredients that allow results to be seen in as close as one month and why KeraHealth products are the solution for hair loss in men and women of any age.

Oh Alex, what fate is woven for you and your friends. These are such fun books. I needed a break in some science-fiction so I dove into the newly released Verus novel. One of those books you can just siphon down because it's easy reading, known characters and a world you can just about relate to.
As usual we have long arcs we're still understanding, some great unveils which in your gut you knew was going to happen, and a few twists that leave you wondering how people will survive going forward. All in Alex Verus style.
Hard for me to come up with words within the book because each book really dovetails with the past. So to tell you how the last one ended for the setup for this one, or how the politics for this one are going to setup for the next.. Well it's all spoiler gone spoiler crazy.

For all history buffs out there we have a special treat today – 11 best history channel documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
While it may be true that History Channel has long ago moved its focus from history to reality TV – with shows about pawn shops and aliens – there are still plenty of watchable documentaries on air. And yes, it is easy to take pot shots at them for their programming, but let's face it, it is very hard making history a popular watch for the average viewer. If aliens and pawn shops get them to watch few real history shows, then so be it. It is a small price to pay, after all. At least these shows aren't as grim as the.
To rank history channel documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015, we had to devise a system. Going simply by IMDb rating just wouldn't cut it, although we did include it in our final ranking. We also went over a dozen of lists on most popular sites to get an accurate feel for public opinion. We mixed it all together and came up with a genuine Insider Monkey ranking. Let's see who made it to our list of 11 best history channel documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
Based on a 1994 discovery made by an Italian journalist Enza Massa at the Italian National Library in Rome, the show depicts a mysterious document named Nostradamus Vatinicia Code. It was signed by Michel de Notredame in 1629. Michel de Notredame is, of course, famous Nostradamus and his book quickly seized the imagination of the audience. Kreg Lauterbach's shows us how the book came to be forgotten in the archives, as well as trying to decipher its content.

Q: How to mark api-created Okta users as being provided by Active Directory We're currently running the Okta Active Directory agent in order to import our users into Okta.
I'd like to replace this with a custom built process that imports users into a new internal database, for other user-management-related activities, whilst also adding those users to Okta.
Creating the user in Okta is easy, but I also need to get the user's "provider" set to ACTIVE_DIRECTORY, so that Okta delegates authentication to Active Directory.
The documentation (http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#provider-object) says that the User's Provider field is read-only.
How can I set it?

A: While you cannot directly manipulate the credential object you can leverage other features available to achieve the desired result.

*

*Create a group in Okta and configure it as a directory provisioning group. From the designated group select 'Manage Directories' add the desired Directory and follow the wizard to completion.

*Add the created users to the group (using the API)

A: You unfortunately cannot set this property as we do not allow the creation of Active Directory users through the public API at this point.
If the purpose of the new process is simply to enrich the user's profile, can't you not achieve this by letting the AD agent sync the users and enrich the profile directly through the API?

Teamsters understand the value in union membership. Higher pay, better benefits, and a greater voice in the workplace are standards set by union members that won't be given up without a fight, even after the Supreme Court's decision in the "Janus v. AFSCME" case.
While it is true that this ruling may create temporary roadblocks, public employees throughout the United States need to remain unified. We cannot allow the progress working people have made in union to be slowed down because of lawsuits that disregard the value of public employees.
The Janus decision came about because anti-employee forces spent millions of dollars on lobbying and court challenges for over 40 years. Attacks from these outside groups, backed by secret donors, seek to eliminate the freedom of public employees to negotiate with their employer over the value of their work.
Many Teamster members around the country have held conversations with their co-workers about the impact of the Supreme Court decision to reinforce the value of remaining unified. Whether at the worksite or at the ballot box, members are fighting back against these attacks.
Public sector Teamsters have made it their career to serve their country and community, and any attempt to take away their freedom to join together is an attack on those who are the foundation of America.
Our middle class was built by everyday working people, standing together in union. The Teamsters honor that history by continuing the fight to give working people the promise of the American dream.
That won't end with the Janus decision. The Teamsters will continue to organize, mobilize, and do whatever is necessary to achieve prosperity through collective action.
Standing Together, Standing Strong!

We Are eXPOsing XPO's Global Greed
XPO Logistics is a top ten global logistics and transportation company with annual revenue of $15 billion and 89,000 employees, another 10,000 workers classified as independent contractors, and thousands more working for firms that subcontract with XPO. We are the REAL workers at XPO Logistics worldwide exposing the truth about the company's global greed, illegal wage theft, unsafe conditions, and abhorrent and vicious anti-worker, anti-union tactics.
This greed includes mistreating former Con-way Freight workers in the United States who are being kept in the dark about terminal closures and layoffs, and the company's illegal refusal to bargain contracts and denying their workers' federally protected right to organize. It also includes port, rail and last-mile drivers around the country and in Southern California fighting wage theft in excess of $200 million because they are misclassified as independent contractors and denied the right to form their union. This greed has caused numerous lawsuits and strikes. Greed also means an unsafe workplace and mistreating its warehouse employees.
XPO's greed extends to Europe beginning with breaking its promise to not layoff any workers for at least 18 months. French workers and the unions have been fighting back against XPO's disrespect, lies and attempts to slash jobs. Similar struggles are taking place in Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe.
Join the worldwide struggle now! Get involved with this campaign by joining the Facebook group "XPO Exposed."
Together, we can eXPOse the company's global greed and win fairness, respect and dignity for tens of thousands of XPO employees around the world!

This web page provides information on the ongoing effort to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since 1994, NAFTA has devastated working families, putting corporate profits ahead of people. What's worse is that NAFTA has become the blueprint for all other trade agreements, from the way that it was negotiated in secret, to the bad provisions that have made their way into every agreement that has been signed since then. Now, NAFTA is being renegotiated and we demand that it be reframed to work for workers instead of corporate interests.

UP Ventures Managing Partner, Steven Thomas, said "Our mission with this programme is to find and enable the technologies that can have a profoundly positive impact on citizens and the places that they live and work. Our team and partners are hugely passionate about technology and how it can help people and businesses thrive again in such difficult times"

The transition to a sustainable industry provides opportunities to think new and thus develop the whole society. The latest technology in artificial intelligence, telecommunications and sensor technology allows us to connect people, products and processes.
SUN note that Sweden's, and the county's, assets of natural resources in the form of ore, forests and water are of central importance for realizing the societal transformation required to achieve the UN's global sustainability goals.
We are shaping attractive built environment for the support of sustainable living in cold climate through challenge-driven research of excellence and development of innovative and holistic systems and artefacts.
One of the major challenges is to shape a society that can quickly adapt to a dynamic and increasingly globalized and knowledge-driven environment by stimulating and contributing to effective innovations both of a technical and organizational nature.
Demand for metals on the world market is increasing, and the Swedish as well as the international mining industry is increasing its production.Sweden is the country in Europe which is the most important metal producer, and the Swedish mining industry is important also from a European perspective.The best opportunities to find new ore deposits in Europe can be found in Sweden and Finland.
The availability of renewable energy at a competitive price and efficient energy systems with a high level of security of supply are important prerequisites for future sustainable growth.Our vision is to work together with industry and stakeholders within society to create an internationally leading research and innovation environment in order to demonstrate a long-term sustainable energy system.
Art can evoke emotions and touch us – make us ask questions, create well-being, or provoke.Art can also help us to communicate experiences and information.When art meets technology, the creativity that exists within each area can together provide new opportunities to solve complex problems.
The future of sustainable transport will depend on smart and innovative solutions to cope with an increase in the flow of goods at the same time as it will reduce the harmful effects on the environment and climate.Demand for better interoperability between different modes of transport, better maintenance, lower energy use, as well as an increase in the capacity of existing transportation systems will be required.The transport of goods and people must function equally well in winter, spring, summer and autumn.
A versatile and competitive industry is important for Sweden's and Europe's future status as new players are emerging.To secure our position, constant improvement and development of industrial processes are required in order to increase productivity while reducing the pressures on the climate and the environment.
Enabling ICT has a broad base in LTU's research resources within the information and communication field. Together, we drive the development of new ICT-based knowledge and applications in the areas of e-health, smart regions, data centers and cloud services.
Machines of the future must become more efficient, easier, smarter, safer and have a minimal impact on the climate, nature and man.They must also become more efficient and lighter in order to reduce energy consumption, cost and the use of resources.Machines have to be smarter and safer, in order to offer more flexibility, more autonomy and less risk of injury.

A leading US Muslim group said today it was disturbed by reports that US authorities were racially profiling passengers at New York's Kennedy airport.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it had received three separate reports from Iraqi-born Americans alleging they were detained for up to six hours at the airport last week without justification.
The allegations came from a Michigan couple, two people from California and a New Jersey woman travelling with her five children.
The council said that it feared hundreds of other passengers had been filtered by security on the basis of their names or appearance.
It called on officials "to partner with the American Muslim community in order to ensure national security in a manner that is consistent with American values of justice and equality".
A statement from US customs authorities denied they were screening passengers on the basis of ethnicity, but acknowledged increased security over an alleged plot by Muslim extremists to bomb US flights from Britain.

Members of the Birmingham City Council expressed concern Tuesday that two bills in the state Legislature would continue to whittle away the city's home rule.
The bills in question, HB346 and SB264, would remove local governments' regulatory powers by prohibiting them from restricting use of plastic grocery bags and compelling them to allow the installation of wireless communication antennae, respectively. At Tuesday's meeting, the council passed a resolution opposing the latter bill.
"I certainly don't want the state Legislature preempting our ability to regulate something that has a direct impact on our community," he said.
HB346, sponsored by Rep. Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, prevents local governments from attempting to regulate or prohibit use or sale of plastic bags, though its language is broad enough to encompass other "auxiliary containers," which includes disposable and reusable materials designed for "transporting, consuming, or protecting merchandise, food, or beverages from or at a food service, manufacturing, distribution, processing, or retail facility." Plastic straws would be covered by the bill, as well as bags, cups and bottles made of various materials.
"Yeah, we need to push back on that," O'Quinn replied.
Hilliard also warned that the bill could set a wider-reaching precedent. "Even if you think it doesn't matter, what it's doing is eroding the police powers of the municipality and you do not want to start (down) that slippery slope," he said.
Supporters of the bill, however, has said they want to avoid having a patchwork of laws across the state, with some areas allowing particular types of bags and containers and other areas banning them, which would be expensive and confusing for businesses.
The bill and a mirror bill in the Senate have passed a committee and are awaiting votes on the House and Senate floors.
The council did not take any official action against HB346, but it did against SB264, a bill that would authorize the "installation and deployment of small wireless facilities and poles on public rights-of-way" and limit local governments' authority to interfere with or regulate their installation. The bill, sponsored by Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, would allow communications companies — cable operators, wireless providers and telecommunications carriers, for instance — to mount antenna on existing or replacement polls, ostensibly to boost wireless signal and reception.
Hilliard told councilors that "the majority of municipalities are against this legislation" because it removes governmental oversight from the installation of those antennae. "The city won't be able to limit where (new antennae are placed)," he said. The legislation would benefit companies such as AT&T and Verizon, he said, which "have a lot of resources" attempting to push the legislation through.
Lobbyists for the mayor's office are "trying to do our best to stop it right now," he added, noting that revisions were an unlikely solution. "The original bill is so bad that there's no way to truly amend it," he said.
Woodfin's office has not responded to repeated requests from BirminghamWatch for his office's legislative agenda.
The bill is awaiting action in a Senate committee.


Benchmark Sensex rose around 373 points to reclaim the 38,000-mark as better-than-expected macro data and further recovery in the rupee triggered widespread buying. The NSE Nifty too breached the 11,500-level with a rise of 145 points. All sectoral indices ended in the green, led by realty, power, consumer durables and metals.
Brokers said sentiment was bullish on continuous recovery in the rupee amid reports that the government may announce steps to prop up the Indian currency.
Vedanta was the big gainer in the Sensex kitty, surging 5.25 per cent after the company said on Thursday it has discovered natural gas in a Krishna Godavari basin block.


Deerness Distillery launched in May 2017 and was Orkney's first distillery in over 130 years. The enterprise was founded by Australians Stuart and Adelle Brown, respectively a chartered engineer and pharmacist, who moved across the world with their three children in search of a better work-life balance. In 2016, the couple decided to turn their hobby into reality by designing and building a distillery on land near their home with the help of family, friends and neighbours.
Having undertaken plenty of research and experimentation, initially producing six different gins each with different botanicals, Deerness Distillery launched with one gin and one vodka. The names of both spirits – Sea Glass Gin and Into The Wild Vodka – were inspired by their family life on the islands. The distillery's logo, a striking and proud deer, designed by Caroline Harrison, was also inspired by the red deer bones found on the local sea stack, the Brough of Deerness, and which are said to have given the parish its name. The gin's stunning label, again Caroline's work, celebrates Orkney's seascape while also bringing to mind tiny pebbles of sea glass and their frosted, translucent beauty. Admittedly it would be even more striking if the design was etched into the glass, rather than applied to a label, but clearly such costs would be prohibitively high for this small operation.
Sea Glass Gin is produced solely by the couple who do everything by hand including distilling, bottling, and labelling. Having made a conscious decision not to forage the land to produce their gin, the Browns instead choose botanicals that could, largely, be grown on Orkney and indeed the couple plan to build a polytunnel on their site to do just that. The botanicals they selected – juniper, orange peel, cucumber, mint, lavender, lemon leaf verbena and tarragon – are added to neutral grain spirit at different times during a 12-hour distillation process in their 300-litre traditional copper pot still (albeit with an additional reflux column) called Matilda. Being a London Dry Gin, nothing is added post-distillation except pure Orcadian water to cut the spirit back to a bottling strength of 43% ABV.
On the nose, Sea Glass Gin is delicate with plenty of citrus upfront and a good hit of juniper. To taste I found it fresh and herbaceous with floral notes. There's a good amount of green juniper, citrus from the orange peel and lemon leaf verbena and a refreshing long finish with menthol notes and a slight pepperiness. Perhaps I'm just being influenced by the bottle, and the heatwave we are currently enjoying, but this strikes me as a light, summery spirit.
As one might expect, this makes a refreshing and enjoyable gin and tonic with lifted citrus and juniper. Deerness Distillery suggest a range of different garnishes from kiwi and blueberries. While these certainly look beautiful, I often find such garnishes add little to the aroma or the taste of a drink. A slice of lemon, on the other hand, certainly brought out the citrus but I still think this gin is worthy of further experimentation; an orange peel garnish, I think, would be more delicate than lemon and perhaps juniper or mint would be worth trying too.
Since its launch, Sea Glass Gin has won a trio of silver medals and been selected as a finalist in two categories – London Dry Gin of the Year and Excellence in Branding – at The Scottish Gin Awards (the results of which will be announced on Thursday 20 September 2018). They've also expanded their distillery, opening a tasting room, a viewing area from where visitors can watch the distilling process, and small shop stocked with local arts and crafts from the parish and across Orkney. All this, while still remaining a small family-run operation with an ethos of working in harmony with their surroundings and promoting local businesses, and their parish, to the wider world.
Deerness Distillery's gin, and vodka, is truly handcrafted with passion and love. Not only that, but they also care about their community and their environment. With flavoured vodkas in the pipeline, plans for a liqueur range, a small batch rum and a new gin coming out this year, they are exactly the sort of business we should be promoting and supporting, and certainly one to watch!
Purchase Sea Glass Gin direct from Deerness Distillery at £34 for 70cl or £14 for 20cl (43% ABV).
With thanks to Stuart Brown, Managing Director at Deerness Distillery, for the complimentary bottle of Sea Glass Gin.

Great write up and well said about the artisan distiller. They need all the support they can get to compete in what is fast becoming an overcrowded market. It is easy for the 'little' voice to get lost.
