Jeep Club Philippines is the offshoot of its predecessor Jeep Philippines which was created in 2013 as a Facebook page by a group of Jeep Wrangler Rubicon enthusiasts. To avoid confusion with Auto Nation Group, the exclusive distributors of Jeep vehicles in the Philippines who also happens to use " Jeep Philippines" in its Facebook page, the group decided to rename it as Jeep Club Philippines or Jeep Club PHL.
The club was formed to gather a set of like minded Jeep enthusiasts and serve as a venue for the exchange of ideas. Jeep Club PHL also allows members to share experiences, latest aftermarket accessories and the latest trends in modifying their vehicles. It also provides a venue to bring to the dealers and distributor positive or negative comments regarding their vehicle and after sales services. The club was also created to foster camaraderie and unity among jeep owners not to mention meet new friends.
Jeep Club Philippines is mostly made up of Jeep JK aficionados where they hold their official activities and meetings in Jungle Base 4x4 center in Tanay, Rizal. The first meeting was made possible with the support of Auto Nation Group Marketing executives led by Ms Chinky Adriano. Since then, the club has held regular monthly meetings discussing various subjects such as club activities and future projects. The first meet saw over 40 Jeep Wrangler owners making their way to Jungle Base.
Initially, the group had more than 300 members based on FB database. The heads have have since trimmed it down to 34 active members as the club continue to expand its membership base. The club's activities is centered on off-roading to better understand and enjoy the vehicles capability.
Another common hobby among the club members is shooting. The club has recently undertaken a Gun safety seminar course followed by a three stage fun shoot. Other activities lined up are medical missions to remote areas, especially those communities that are in dire need of medical help. Jeep Club PHL also planning to create projects that will form the core of socio-civic responsibilities to help the poor, elderly, destitute and the dying. Since the club is still in its infancy stage, the latter projects are currently in the planning stages and will be carried out very soon.
Jeep Club Philippines is inviting owners to join and can can do so by e-mailing their intent to join the club at [email protected]. An application form would be sent to them and may send the accomplished form together with the proof of ownership of a Jeep Vehicle ( any model, any variety ) – OR/CR, or notarized deed of sale for acquired second hand vehicle and shall be governed by existing rules on membership. As mentioned above, membership to Jeep Club PHL is not just exclusive to Wranglers but also to Cherokees, Grand Cherokees and other Jeep models from the past.

Series 2: Species and Critical Habitat Listing and Prohibitions on Take for Threatened Species
By Patricia Valcarcel, Senior Biologist and ESA Specialist
On July 25, 2018, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries (collectively, Services) published three proposed revisions to Endangered Species Act (ESA) regulations, and on August 12, 2019, the Services announced the final rules on these revisions. The first of this two-blog series highlights the consultation process revisions, and the effective date of this interagency coordination rule has been delayed to October 28, 2019 for additional training on implementation (84 FR 50333). The second focuses on the two rules affecting (1) listing of species and critical habitat and (2) prohibitions for threatened species under the ESA. These two rules apply towards future listing decisions and are not retroactive. No changes to species currently listed as threatened or existing designated critical habitat will occur as a result of these revisions.
Summary of Proposed Changes for Future Species Listing
1) Regulations for Prohibitions to Threatened Wildlife and Plants (USFWS only). This revision is also known as "Rescinding the blanket 4(d) rule". Section 4(d) of the ESA ensures that the Services may extend any prohibited actions that apply to federally endangered species (defined in Section 9 of the ESA) to threatened species. The USFWS blanket 4(d) rule automatically extended all take prohibitions to federally threatened species. This final rule removes the blanket protection for all species listed in the future as threatened and for any species that are down-listed from endangered to threatened. In addition, take prohibitions for threatened species would have to be implemented via species-specific rules at the time of listing or reclassification. This is similar to how National Marine Fisheries Service approaches threatened species and outlines prohibited actions in the listing decision. We expect to see more proposals from the Service to downgrade endangered species to threatened and define a restricted set of prohibited actions. This rule does not remove the requirement of federal agencies to consult with the Services on effects to listed species that require biological assessments to be prepared by applicants.
2) Providing an interpretation of the term "foreseeable future". Section 3(20) of the ESA defines a "threatened species" as "any species which is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range"; however, "foreseeable future" was not defined. The rule provides a framework for the Services to determine what "foreseeable future" means. The foreseeable future would be determined on a case-by-case basis and would "extend only so far into the future as the Services can reasonably determine that both the future threats and the species' response to those threats are likely." This phrase and definition only apply to future listing processes for determining if a species meets the criteria to be listed as a threatened species.
3) Clarifying the factors for delisting a species. The final rule clarifies the factors used to determine whether a species can be delisted, and that those factors should be the same standards as those used for listing a species as threatened or endangered. This is consistent with the statute, but there have been misinterpretations for delisting criteria. The changes intend to remove any confusion. There is also a change which removes the phrase "without reference to possible economic or other impacts of such determination" from 50 CFR 424.11(b) on listing determinations. The Services state determinations will be based solely on biological considerations; however, there may be occasions where referencing economic or other impacts may be informational. The removal of this phrase has caused much controversy and is cited in recently filed lawsuits on the final rules.
4) Clarifying criteria for designating Critical Habitat. The final rule expands the list of circumstances when the Services would not be required to designate Critical Habitat for a species. In addition, the rule requires that the Services first evaluate areas currently occupied by the species when designating Critical Habitat before considering unoccupied areas. In addition, if unoccupied areas are proposed, the Services must determine there is reasonable certainty that the area will contribute to conservation of the species and that the area contains one or more of the physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the species. These revisions are intended to help clarify critical habitat designations and based on recent Supreme Court cases.
Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia)
The final rule will be effective on September 26, 2019. Recently filed lawsuits that include both the listing and prohibitions rules may result in injunctions and there may be changes to the effective date on portions or all of these final rules. Below are links to the final rules with more specific language and examples.
Final Section 4 (listing and critical habitat) rule
Final 4(d) (protective regulations) rule
What to Watch For
WRA's regulatory staff anticipate to see more petitions for species to be protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) and more involvement by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in reviewing permits both under the CESA and potential Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreements or during California Environmental Quality Act review. Oversight by California regulatory agencies has been increasing and this is likely to continue under the Trump administration deregulation emphasis. It will be important for applicants to work more closely with CDFW. Our team are working on a number of projects where we are seeing how CDFW and USFWS staff are responding to these changes; and we can assist you in interpreting these complicated and nuanced issues and help you through a changing regulatory environment.

Colombia after peace: a destiny to expand franchises
Colombia is the second exporter of flower species, the third largest coffee producer in the world, the first in Latin American coal reserves and in the first in production of emeralds in the world, and now, that peace has arrived in this country, the quality of life is improving, entrepreneurship is being encouraged, small and medium enterprises are projected to grow in small cities, and the country has already begun to grow in industrial, social and cultural terms, demonstrating that there is a little left of the image of war that it has had.
Colombia in economic terms
In 2016 during the peace process, according to figures from "La Revista Dinero" in its digital version, the construction sector grew 4.1% and obtained more than 1 trillion Colombian pesos (330 Billion USD) in profits and the manufacturing industry and financial institutions registered profits of just over 2 billion Colombian pesos (660 Million USD), and according to data released by the Banco de la República, FDI in the country grew 15.8% over the previous year, transport, agriculture and manufacturing surpassed the investment in 32%, also it is interesting the 122% increase in the electricity sector and 46.5% in communal services, and that Bogota, the Colombian capital, was positioned as the third city in Latin America that more generated direct jobs (approximately 5,000); confirming that Colombia is one of the most economically stable countries in Latin America.
Today, estimates predict that foreign investment will triple annually and reach USD 36 billion, compared to the USD 12 billion that come today. According to a DNP (National Planning Department) study, per capita income for Colombians would double in a decade from USD $ 6800 to USD $ 12,000, and economic growth of 1.1% and 1.9% annually, which means that in the coming years there will be a rebound in the sectors of construction, agriculture, tourism and industrial.
Figures released by the Banco de la República show that FDI in January of 2017 grew more than nine times compared to the same month in 2016, and between January 1 and August of 2017 FDI increased by 13, 5% compared to the balance a year ago, when it totaled 2,928 million dollars; foreign trade compared to the same quarter of 2016, in 2017 rose by 3.7%.
Status of franchises in Colombia
In the country, there are currently 443 franchises of both national and foreign origin, 47 in the beauty sector, 67 in specialist trade, 27 in training centers, 158 in food/ gastronomy (catering), 74 in fashion and 70 in the service sector.
There are 196 franchises of foreign origin that are currently established in Colombia, whose main country of origin is the United States, followed by Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, among others, in health and beauty, fashion, food/gastronomy and catering.
The franchise industry in Colombia has been booming for a couple of years, and this is mainly due to the fact that there have been various franchise projects promoted by public and private entities that have made this model known to the colombian population, in fact, the model of microfranchise for Colombia was developed thanks to an IDB project, where some colombian consulting firms developed the operational and process standardization part of that model, and it was established that microfranchises in this country would differentiate from the conventional franchises in the fact that they would not exceed an investment amount of more than 75 million pesos equivalent to USD 25,000 approximately. This amount is ideal for small and medium sizes investors. This might be an international or domestic franchise, but in other formats such as corners or small modules or mobile format unit franchises, requiring less investment.
To encourage the development of franchises in general, Franchise World Link would promote knowledge about franchising. Franchise World Link would help entrepreneurs who are interested in investing in Master franchises, Regional or Multi-Unit Franchises, and eventually creating alliances with different public and private entities.
Some cases of success of Colombian franchises
Servientrega
Created in 1982, is the leading messaging company in the country, with a presence in Ecuador, Peru, Spain, to name a few countries. Began to franchise in 1991, in this moment has more than 3,000 premises, having achieved great positioning in the country.
Created in 1987, the business idea is the design and commercialization of briefcases, accessories and clothing mainly for young people. It is one of the most successful franchises in the country, with presence in more than 40 countries, and 600 physical stores mainly in Latin America, 272 of which are located in Colombia, one of its largest projects in entering to the United States. As a franchise, it offers assistance in the area of marketing, profitability and the security of investing in a solid and recognized brand.
Sandwich Cubano
Created in 1978 by a Cuban settle in Cali, Colombia, was born as a small establishment selling sandwiches, in 1994 they opened more premises in that city, and for 1998 they granted their first franchise in Barranquilla, today they expanded their catalog of foods and also offer fast foods, salads, desserts, among others. at the moment it has 217 commercial establishments, only 9 are own and the other are franchises, also has presence in Panama and Miami.
Juan Valdez
Originated in 1950, and dedicated to the marketing of food and coffee products, it became a franchise in 2002. Currently, it has 300 stores worldwide, most located in Colombia, and in the country opens approximately 2 stores a month. Its franchises are part of the International Franchise Association (IFA), this association accredits experts in the franchise industry and endorses the services presented by the institutions belonging to that association. At the end of the first half of 2017, it invoiced more than 140,000 million pesos in Colombia.
Some cases of success of foreign franchises that have grown in Colombia
Franchise of Costa Rican origin, produces and sells fruit juices and vegetables in Colombia. Their key success factors are the original catalog of drinks they offer, the natural and nutritious concept, the location of their sales points and the quality of the products they work with. Arrived in Colombia in late 2012 and early 2013, invoiced 100,000 million Colombian pesos in 2016, and exceeds 500 points nationwide.
This franchise of American origin born in 1965, with a presence in 110 countries, offers sandwiches, cookies, drinks, breakfasts, among others, in some countries by cultural and religious impositions it changes its menu. In Colombia it landed in 1997; currently has 300 franchises in the national territory, and is present in 36 cities.
The franchise of Spanish origin, born in 2011 and offers non-invasive aesthetic services such as laser hair removal, facial cleansing, body treatment, among others, in Colombia arrived between 2012 and 2013, and in less than a year of operation had 40 establishments, currently has more than 70 premises, and its success in the country is due to the low prices of its treatments, and the training and constant advice to its franchisees.
The future of the franchise in Colombia
For the next few years the arrival of various foreign franchises from all continents and the expansion of local franchises to other territories of the country previously unoccupied. One of the most anticipated franchises in Colombia this year was H & M, that arrived in the country in May of 2017, and expects to open more than 400 stores.
Other franchises that will arrive soon in the country, and that are partners of Franchise World Link, such as B.GOOD, of american origin, with its concept of organic and healthy fast food sees in Colombia the first destination country to enter the Latin market.
Colombia is certainly an ideal destination for all types of franchises, this type of business model came before the 90's to stay, and to further boost the Colombian economy.

Additional Book Information
Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of interactions between materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field of tribology. For example, new applications require detailed understanding of the tribological process on macro- and microscales and new knowledge guides the rational design of material for these applications. A two volume set, the Modern Tribology Handbook reports on the current state-of-the-field as it reflects these developments, including all industrial applications.
In the Modern Tribology Handbook you will get:
A thorough review of the basic concepts of contact, friction, wear, and lubrication
Comprehensive coverage of experimental studies
The fascinating subject of molecular dynamics simulations
An exploration of both conventional and new tribological materials
Knowledge of the advantages and limitations of ceramics, diamond-like carbon and related films, and a wide range of coating composites
A section devoted to industrial components and systems
Conventional tribology has become well established in the past fifty years but few handbooks that exist are dated. The rapid evolution of micro- and nanotribology will cause it to take center stage for the next decade, but much of the new information has not made it into the hands that need to use it. Extensively illustrated and well-researched, the Modern Tribology Handbook gives you comprehensive information on conventional topics and, more importantly, emphasizes all industrial applications, including the fundamentals of the emerging field of micro-and nanotribology.

Razzo Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster that is dedicated to sourcing and roasting the finest specialty coffees . Our mission is to provide our customers with the freshest roasted specialty coffee at a socially responsible price point and to delight our customers with superior service.
The inspiration for Razzo Coffee came while drinking very bad coffee in Naples, Florida. The coffee needed large amounts of cream and sugar to make it palatable. After visiting a local coffee shop that was serving good espresso, my quest for great coffee began in earnest. I started roasting green coffee at home using a hot air popcorn popper. The results were fantastic and the coffee was a hit at work. My passion to roast coffee led me to find a coffee roasting equipment manufacturer that offered a 3 day roasting course that covered all aspects of roasting coffee. During this time, I accepted a job in Utah and moved the family but the coffee roasting dream would not go away. We decided to take the plunge and purchase a roaster and 1000 lbs of green coffee. Roasting coffee at 5000 feet above sea level was a challenge but the coffee was a hit. Another job change brought us back home. Razzo Coffee was born!
Razzo Coffee is a artisan coffee roaster located in the rural community of Rehoboth, MA, only 15 miles from Providence, RI .We are a family owned business that uses the latest in modern manufacturing and quality assurance techniques to provide the finest specialty coffees.

During the Nederlandse Dansdagen, Introdans presents Tutti: two absolute audience favourites as a jubilee gift. The company is celebrating its 50th jubilee, a golden anniversary, with all the dancers in ballets by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Mauro Bigonzetti, also featuring the fantastic singers of A Filetta and Assurd.
Earthy, raw and passionate: that's how you could best describe the dance in Mauro Bigonzetti's Cantata. In this rousing, high-energy piece the choreograph brings to life a range of characters from an Italian village – inspired by the captivating and sometimes abrasive music of women's folk group Assurd, featuring Enza Pagliara. Men and women vie with each other in powerful ensemble dances, with legs scything in all directions and torsos shaking wildly. It's hard to remain unmoved by this exuberant ode to Italian folk culture, to love, and perhaps above all to madness. Cantata invariably receives standing ovations.
Motivated by a number of deaths in his family, the universally praised Flemish-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui created this work as a homage to his ancestors. The relationship between reality and memory forms the core of In Memoriam. In an imaginary underworld, the dancers explore polarising forces such as attraction and rejection, tenderness and aggression and in doing so examine meaning of 'harmony'. The result is both serene and hallucinatory. Other crucial elements in this total stage experience are the music of the polyphone ensemble A Filetta and the video images of Gilles Delmas.
"In Memoriam is a rock-solid choreography that fascinates from start to end, and which is brought to life by Introdans in a more than convincing manner."
"…the dance seems pure, spontaneous and exuberant but under the surface there's great refinement."

Rebaya M., Ben Faleh A.R., Allaya H., Khedher M., Trojette M., Marsaoui B., Fatnassi M., Chalh A., Quignard J.-P., Trabelsi M. 2017. Otolith shape discrimination of Liza ramada (Actinopterygii: Mugiliformes: Mugilidae) from marine and estuarine populations in Tunisia. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat 47 (1): 13–21.
Background. The thinlip grey mullet, Liza ramada (Risso, 1810), is widespread in Tunisia. Despite its economic importance, the stock discrimination of this fish is poorly understood. The aim of this study is to investigate, for the first time, the stock discrimination of this species for two Tunisian populations based on the otolith shape, using different statistical approaches.
Materials and methods. The specimens of L. ramada were collected during three months (from March to May 2013) at two sampling sites: the marine (Cap Zebib sea resort) and the estuarine (Mellegue Dam) in Tunisia. We analysed sagittal otolith shape variation for 120 individuals (60 fish of each study site comprising 30 males and 30 females) for both sexes (males and females) and two sides (left and right otolith) for each specimen.
Results. Statistical- and discriminant function analysis of the sagittal otolith shape clearly demonstrated statistically significant differences from the two populations. These results were also confirmed by highly statistically significant difference between otolith shape (left and right) for both sexes. An asymmetry was detected when comparing otoliths of the same side (RR–LL) between different sampling sites.
Conclusion. The shape variability of otolith between these two sampling sites is probably correlated with local environmental and ecological factors.

Women's Under-19 - Norway stars urge Under-19s to seize chance - News
Norway stars urge Under-19s to seize chance
Norway duo Maren Mjelde and Ingvild Isaksen have urged their younger counterparts to take full advantage of this year's women's U19 finals on home soil.

Having gained their grounding in international football at the UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship, Norway stalwarts Ingvild Isaksen and Maren Mjelde urged their country's young stars to make the most of this year's finals on home soil.
The duo helped Norway reach the final of UEFA Women's EURO 2013 in Sweden last year, their title hopes ending in a 1-0 final loss to Germany, but neither have forgotten the vital tournament experience they picked up at U19 level. And with this summer's edition to be held in Norway for the first time since it was still a U18 competition in 2001, Isaksen feels certain that Jarl Torske's squad are in for a special summer.
"The U19 European championship is a really good arena for young football players, and it's something else when you are playing on your home field," the forward explained. "I would just encourage them to have fun and roll with it, enjoy the time, because you won't get it again at that level. You are with your friends, and you just have to enjoy the time being there."
"You get experience playing in tournaments," added Mjelde. "Of course the tournaments at senior level are bigger, but it's kind of the same thing: you play against really good teams, and you have to be good to go as far as possible. And yes, for me it was a really good experience to play at U19 level."
The pair went through the learning process together as well, helping Norway reach the semi-finals in 2007 before a runners-up finish the following year. In particular, Mjelde still has vivid recollections of their penalty shoot-out success against Germany in the latter tournament.
"I remember that really well, because in the semi-final against Germany I think they were so much better than us," said the versatile midfielder, who can also operate in defence. "They were leading 1-0 in the first half and I thought that they had so many chances. I thought: 'OK, this could be ugly; they could beat us by a lot of goals.'
"But then we suddenly scored a goal. I was playing then as a central defender, and I have never been so exhausted after a game as a defender. It was so hard; we played against a really good German team. But football is all about scoring goals, and we were better than them on penalties."
It was penalties that let Norway down in Sweden last year, though, as a pair of spot-kick saves from Nadine Angerer helped Germany clinch their sixth consecutive European title at senior level. The Scandinavian side's run to the final nonetheless did wonders for the women's game back home, and both Mjelde and Isaksen are hoping for a similar phenomenon this summer.
"The European Championship was a real boost in Norway, so I hope that maybe the U19 tournament will also give us a boost," commented Isaksen. "I hope that it will lift interest in women's football, and hopefully there will be big crowds at the games."
"We haven't had many competitions in Norway before," said Mjelde. "I've never played in Norway in a competition like this. It's good for the girls to play at home and feel the support of the Norwegian people."

End Signature End Preamble


The NDM Research Building is a new medical research building on the Old Road Campus. This £22M new building is part of the Nuffield Department of Medicine and will allow development of the Target Discovery Institute and expansion of existing research groups of NDM with research synergies such as Respiratory Medicine and Viral Immunology. The building is also home to one of two sites for the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health.
The building is 5,300 sq m (GIA) of laboratory and office space housing some 160 research and support staff.
The Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health situated in Oxford on the basement level, provides a UK administrative and support base for the Major Overseas Programmes in Kenya, Thailand and Vietnam as well as their associated regional units. The Centre also houses academic groups, TGHN OHSCAR, ERGO WWARN, IDDO and ISARIC which are spread across its two locations which are the NDMRB and the Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research (South Parks Road). Further information can be found here.
Ludwig Centre for Cancer reseach groups are based on the ground floor of the building. Professor Sir Peter Ratcliffe, FRS leads a group based in the building undergoing reserach in hypoxia. Other groups in the unit are lead by Professor Sebastian Nijman, Dr Chunxiao Song and Fraydoon Rastinejad.
Situated on the 1st Floor of the NDMRB the Respiratory Unit comprises distinct but inter-linking research groups led by Professor Ian Pavord, who is Head of Respiratory Medicine Unit (RMU). It aims to bridge basic respiratory science to practice-changing translational research including early and late phase clinical trials for patients with respiratory diseases.
The Viral Immunology Unit, also situated on the 1st floor of the NDMRB, focuses on studying the immunity response to virus infection, facilitating the development of vaccination strategies, testing new HIV-1 immunogens and new viral vectors to be tested in clinical studies. The unit comprises the groups of Dr. Persephone Borrow, Dr. Geraldine Gillespie, Professor Lucy Dorrell, Professor Sarah Rowland-Jones, Professor Tao Dong, Professor Jane McKeating and Professor Sir Andrew McMichael.
The Target Discovery Institute (TDI) situated on the 2nd floor is a major new collaborative research initiative led by Professor Sir Peter Ratcliffe, FRS. Strategic investment through the Department and collaborative use of existing research resources from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, the Department of Oncology, specifically the Radiation and Oncology Unit, the Oxford Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and the Structural Genomics Consortium enabled the Target Discovery Institute High Throughput Screening Facility (TDI HTS) to operate for two years before the institute was fully established in the new NDM Research Building. The TDI now encompasses several groups including Chemical Biology, Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry and Medicinal Chemistry.

Q: postgres update parent if entity / foreign key updates I have a table recipes and every recipe can have multiple entries.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "recipes" (
    "ident" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    "identifier" TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    "modified_on" TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "entries" (
    "ident" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    "recipe_id" INTEGER NOT NULL,
    "name" TEXT
    FOREIGN KEY ("recipe_id") REFERENCES "recipes"("ident") ON DELETE CASCADE
);

Now when a recipe is updated, the following function is called and updates my timestamp:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_recipe_timestamp_proc()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
    NEW."modified_on" = now();
    PERFORM pg_notify('notify_recipes_update', CAST(NEW.ident AS text));
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ language 'plpgsql';

Now I also want my timestamp modified_on to get updated whenever an entry is updated.
The following trigger is not working.
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS update_recipes_timestamp_e ON entries;
CREATE TRIGGER update_recipes_timestamp_e BEFORE UPDATE ON entries FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_recipe_timestamp_proc();

ERROR: Record "NEW" has no field "modified_on"

A: I stated this in the comments, but I'll place it here for completeness.
Your current issue is that you are trying to set the value of a field that does not exist. NEW in a trigger is the actual record that you are inserting or updating AND because that is occurring on the entries table. Based on that, you can see why they would not work and why you are getting that error.
The solution to your issue is to remove that line NEW."modified_on" = now(); and instead replace it with an UPDATE statement that will update the recipe table.
Your final trigger code should look like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_recipe_timestamp_proc()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
    UPDATE recipe SET modified_on = now() WHERE ident = NOW.recipe_id;
    PERFORM pg_notify('notify_recipes_update', CAST(NEW.ident AS text));
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ language 'plpgsql';

The record you are inserting/updating in entries has the field recipe_id which you use in the UPDATE statement to ensure you are updating the correct record in the recipe table.

Mitch Thorp
Mitchell Thorp (born 25 December 1988), better known as Mitch Thorp, is an Australian rules football player who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Sources: AFL Tables, AustralianFootball.com
Thorp was a key position player, and was taken by Hawthorn at pick six in front of Joel Selwood 2006 National Draft.
Thorp debuted against Richmond in round 15 and after a large media buildup he played a promising game, including kicking a goal. An injury from that game meant he was unable to play the following week.
Called in as a late replacement, Thorp played his second game against Sydney in round 2, 2009.
Thorp had surgery to remove a bone fragment and have a pin inserted in his foot. Thorp would take at least three months to recover from a broken sesamoid bone in his left foot. The injury ruled Thorp out for the rest of the 2009 season.[1]
Thorp was delisted by the Hawthorn Football club on 28 October 2009 after no club showed interest in him during the AFL trade week.[2] He later entered the National Draft, but was unable to be drafted by a club.
Post AFL
In 2010 Thorp played as a forward for Werribee Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). In a match for Weribee against the Coburg Tigers, Thorp ran into, and knocked out, former Richmond defender Graham Polak.
In 2011, he returned to play football in Tasmania for the South Launceston Football Club. Thorp was appointed as playing coach of South Launceston for the 2012 season.[3]
In 2013, Thorp guided South Launceston to the Tasmanian Football League premiership. In doing so, he became the youngest player to captain/coach a side in Tasmanian Football to a premiership. In the same season, Thorp won the Tassie Medal as the TSL's best player that year, starring in the state's win over the NEAFL and being the best forward in the competition.[4]
Thorp entered the 2013 AFL Draft, with a view of resuming his AFL career. Despite reported interest from Carlton, the Western Bulldogs, Fremantle, Gold Coast and Brisbane, Thorp was unsuccessful in getting drafted.[5]
Thorp was appointed coach of the Western Storm Football Club in 2013. However, in December 2013, just two weeks after the official launch of the Storm, Thorp resigned from his position and left the Storm, accepting an offer to be a playing assistant coach for South Australian National Football League club Glenelg, in a bid to resurrect his AFL career.[4][6][7]
At the end of the 2014 season, Thorp returned to the TSL to be playing coach of the Devonport Football Club.[8]
Thorp joined Launceston ahead of the 2018 TSL season.[9]
Thorp then became coach of the Launceston for the 2019 TSL Season.[10]

Byron had wanted to keep Shelley's skull…
From Lapham's Quarterly:
Francis Gastrell was very annoyed. He had bought a nice new house only to find hordes of uninvited guests tramping through his garden and helping themselves to sprigs and branches from his mulberry tree. These trespasses angered him so much that one day he took up an axe and chopped the tree down, thus removing the inconvenience. The visitors stopped coming, which in turn upset the villagers who relied on their money. They formed a gang, descended on Gastrell's house, and smashed all his windows. With the score evened, things quieted down for a bit, at least until the town council decided to raise the taxes on the property, thus driving Gastrell into a renewed frenzy. Rather than pay the increased dues, the reverend (for Gastrell was a man of the cloth), chose to vacate the house and dismantle the entire building brick by brick and gable by gable. A fresh stump and a razed plot were all that remained to inform visitors that here had stood New Place, the handsome and spacious manor house that William Shakespeare had bought for his retirement, and where, with his very own hands, he had once planted a mulberry tree.
Gastrell's spectacularly vindictive act of vandalism took place in 1759, depriving the world of one of the only remaining sites with unambiguous ties to Shakespeare. But it served to mark the advent of literary tourism. Infused with the nascent spirit of romanticism, late-eighteenth-century lovers of literature who desired greater intimacy with their favorite works set off to commune with the spirit of genius as it lingered in place. Writers became objects of fascination, celebrities noted not for their craft or erudition but for their vivid individuality and the expansive range of their passions. For living legends like Voltaire and Rousseau, daily life involved a procession of curious sightseers who came not to speak with them as equals, but to nudge each other and point as if gazing at monuments, which made Rousseau so uneasy he built a trapdoor in his study to escape them. Souvenirs were an essential part of the experience, a sliver of the mundane snatched to unite oneself to the vast infinity of the sublime. Though fairly innocuous in the case of literary gardens, they could also be decidedly ghoulish. The body of the novelist Laurence Sterne was dug up shortly after his death by resurrectionists at the behest of surgeons who prized the opportunity to examine the great wit's organs. The body was recognized on the slab by horrified students also acquainted with literature. When the body of John Milton was exhumed in 1790 in order to locate the exact site of his grave, it was immediately ransacked for hair, teeth, and ribs and put on display for anyone willing to pay sixpence. The dismantled Milton was eventually put back together, but only after a scandalized antiquarian bought back the remains at an inflated price. The heart of Percy Bysshe Shelley was famously plucked from the flames of his funeral pyre on a beach near Viareggio and squabbled over by Leigh Hunt and Edward Trelawny, the former wishing to preserve it in a jar of wine, and the latter wanting to present it to Shelley's widow, Mary, who eventually kept it in a drawer of her writing table. Lord Byron had wanted to keep Shelley's skull, but Trelawny, "remembering he had previously used one as a drinking cup," only preserved a fragment of it, which is now in the possession of the Pforzheimer Collection of the New York Public Library. It looks exactly like a piece of dried leaf.
Byron had a penchant for keepsakes and mementos, often traveling with a specially made screen that had pictures of his favorite actors on one side and his favorite boxers on the other—ironic given that he felt so devoured by the ravening and persistent intrusions into his private life that he eventually sent himself into exile. "Byromania" (a term coined by his future wife, Annabella Milbanke) swept England after the publication in 1812 of his poetic travelogue Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, which went on to sell a remarkable twenty thousand copies. It was followed by a series of "Oriental tales" that were also successful—The Giaour and The Bride of Abydos (both 1813), Lara and The Corsair (both 1814), The Siege of Corinth and Parisina (both 1816)—all eminently accessible poems, built around bold, questing narratives and propelled by jogging rhythms that depicted men of "loneliness and mystery" tormented by forbidden knowledge and a threatening secret.
The unprecedented reaction to Byron's poetry coincided with the demands of intimacy that romantic readers were making upon authors they admired.

University of Nottingham > Blogs > The News Room > Health & medicine > A big week for dementia
UoN Blogs / The News Room
February 24, 2015, by Emma Thorne
A big week for dementia
Tom Dening, Professor of Dementia Research at the Institute of Mental Health at The University of Nottingham, takes a look at this week's major news announcements related to tackling dementia and funding new research into the degenerative condition.
Although dementia is rarely out of the news and indeed often on the front pages of certain national papers, the start of this week is a biggie even by dementia standards. That's for two reasons: one, the latest version of the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge yesterday (February 23), and, two, today's launch of Join Dementia Research (Tuesday February 24).
Whatever David Cameron's political and diplomatic legacy will be — the electorate is poised to cast its verdict this Spring — he undoubtedly deserves credit for taking a personal lead on dementia. The first PM's Dementia Challenge was published in 2012, three years after the National Dementia Strategy, and now we have the follow-on version. For some reason it is the Challenge on Dementia 2020, even though my calendar indicates we are still five years short of that date.
The 2012 Challenge had 14 commitments, grouped under three headings: Driving improvements in health and care; Creating dementia friendly communities; Better research. (Am I alone in disliking the word 'driving' in this sort of context? It implies coercion.) A report from the appointed leaders of these three themes was published in May 2014 and picked out successes in the areas of improving diagnosis rates; creation of over 50 dementia friendly communities; and a doubling of funds for dementia research during the period. The matter of dementia diagnosis rates became quite heated with much discussion about incentives for GPs to (over)diagnose dementia, also about what was the true number of people with dementia in the UK, since this denominator would of course affect the diagnosis rate. The May 2014 report also highlighted some areas in need of special attention: global action; increasing public awareness and understanding; and integrated care and support. The last of these is trotted out regularly but, with the hammering that local authority social services have taken of late, it is difficult to see how this is going to be a reality. Preserving NHS funding is fine but actually most people (even older people and people with dementia) are at home not in hospital.
The 2015 (to 2020) Challenge takes up these threads. It has around 20 aspirations. No fewer than eight of these relate to dementia research, of which the most novel is the proposed establishment of an international dementia institute based in England. How that will work, how it will be funded and who will belong to it are obvious key questions. In two of the aspirations, the words 'on track' appear: 'Funding for dementia research on track to be doubled by 2025'; 'Cures or disease modifying therapies on track to exist by 2025…' What does 'on track' mean? We presumably won't have got there by 2020. It doesn't commit the present administration or even the next one to very much, does it?
There are some other interesting aspirations, not least the plan to create another 3 million Dementia Friends and to make this into a global movement. It is easy to be a bit sceptical about Dementia Friends — a short training session using some interesting metaphors for dementia, some of which work better than others — but it has encouraged a huge number of conversations about dementia that wouldn't otherwise have taken place. That's definitely a good thing. Giving GPs a leading role in co-ordinating the care of people with dementia makes a lot of sense though we should be aware of how oppressed they are feeling just now, so I wonder if they will all greet this with enthusiasm.
By 2020, we hope to see 10 per cent of people with dementia participating in dementia research and altogether 25 per cent signed up with an initiative known as Join Dementia Research. JDR cracks the champagne tomorrow, although it has gone quietly live already. It's a collaboration between the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Alzheimer's Research UK, Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer Scotland, with funding from the Department of Health. What JDR addresses is that at present it is difficult for people with dementia (and their families) to get access to research studies, including trials of new treatments. This is for all sorts of reasons — studies aren't well enough publicised and clinicians often don't think of research when they are seeing patients. However, the biggest obstacle is a protectionist view that prevents researchers from approaching potential research patients directly, a huge obstacle in practice to dementia research. I wish similar safeguards applied to all the purveyors of junk mail that assault my mailbox!!
JDR provides a platform for people to register their interest in participating in suitable studies. The database can be searched by researchers looking to recruit suitable participants and, since they have already given their permission to be approached, this cuts out the barriers to linking up patients and studies. The prospects indicate that this initiative may be very popular. There were already nearly 2000 people signed up before the launch, and the regional Clinical Research Networks across England have all been identifying suitable studies that can be included in JDR.
So who knows, this inclement week could signal climate change in dementia research?

Spotify has signed a new partnership with smart devices giant Samsung – and Wall Street likes what it sees.
The Swedish-born streaming music company has announced that it is now the "go-to music service provider" for Samsung devices.
The agreement means that Spotify becomes part of the setup process for Samsung devices, making it easy for users to discover Spotify via Samsung Smart Switch on their cell phones and tablets.
Spotify will also soon be integrated with Samsung Smart TV while, in a real coup for Daniel Ek and co, Spotify is the 'only music service to be fully integrated' with Samsung Music and Bixby – the Apple rival's voice-activated equivalent to Siri or Amazon's Alexa.
What's more, Samsung today (August 9) announced a new smart-speaker competitor to Apple's Homepod and Amazon's Echo, called the Galaxy Home (pictured). Powered by Bixby, Spotify is the default music service on the device.
Those who own more than one Samsung device will be able to easily switch their Spotify playback between them, said Spotify.
Spotify's shares have jumped over 5% today on the New York Stock Exchange in the aftermath of the announcement.
Spotify Chairman and CEO Daniel Ek wrote in a Q&A blog: "Samsung makes devices for every aspect of our lives – everything from smartphones and TVs, to tablets, speakers, and watches. And we have designed Spotify to deliver personalized music to consumers around the world – wherever they are, across millions of devices.
He added: "Samsung's new go-to music provider, Spotify is giving hundreds of millions of Samsung listeners better access to our 35 million songs, as well as our innovative Discovery and Personalization features, connecting more artists with more fans.
"We believe that this significant long-term partnership will provide Samsung users across millions of devices with the best possible music streaming experience, and make discovering new music easier than ever – with even more opportunities to come.
Samsung is the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world. According to IDC data, Samsung shipped 71.5m phones in Q2 2018, claiming a 20.9% market share. Apple, on the other hand, shipped 41.3m smartphones in the period, with a 12.1% market share.
Samsung once ran its own music streaming platforms, including Milk Music which was shuttered in 2016.

The organ's original pipes — 2,497 — were more than 80 years old and had deteriorated, causing tuning issues.
Congregants will have a first listen during 10 a.m. services Sunday for the rededication. To celebrate its unveiling, Trinity Cathedral will host an inaugural recital by the cathedral's organist, Matthew Steynor, at 4 p.m. that afternoon.
The thrum of the 88-year-old organ reverberated through the cathedral this past week as specialists put the finishing touches on the pipes, keyboard and pedalboard. Roger Colby, president of the organ tuning and repair company overseeing the restoration, played at the keyboard as his associates, buried among the four ranks of pipes, adjusted them.
Aeolian-Skinner built organs for such landmarks as Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in upper Manhattan and St. Thomas Episcopal Church off Fifth Avenue in New York.
R.A. Colby began working on the organ in September 2011, when the organ's pipes, wind chests (the box in an organ from which the air bellows) and mechanical components were shipped to the Colby factory in Johnson City, Tenn. The manual keyboard and pedalboard remained there until October 2013; the pipes did not return until last week.
Miami architect Harold Hastings Mundy designed the current-day cathedral. He also designed Miami Edison Middle School and St. Agnes Episcopal Church in Overtown.
It is said Hastings modeled Trinity after the Romanesque Byzantine Italianate cathedral, the 12th Century Church of Saint-Gilles-du-Gard in Arles, France. The only bell tower south of Charleston, the church became the cathedral in 1970 for the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida.
This was the first time the cathedral had been renovated from the ground up, McCaleb said. During the construction, services at the 700-member congregation continued with the organ's console remaining in place and played as a digital instrument.
McCaleb says church leaders decided to expand the project to ensure the entire building was returned to its former stateliness, including restoring the stained glass windows. The Rose Window, 36 feet in diameter and the signature window fronting the church, was not removed. Instead, pieces of the stained glass were removed individually and restored.
"The vision was to make it a center that belongs to everyone in the city and that we could enjoy as a historic place in a city that does not have many historic buildings," McCaleb said.
To invite the city to enjoy the cathedral's upgrades, McCaleb said the bishop has declared a Jubilee Year, in which organ recitals featuring guest organists from around the world will take place the last Thursday of the month, from February through May.

Toronto - For ballet dancer Jillian Vanstone, performing in 'Cinderella' is a sort of culmination of a childhood dream. The National Ballet of Canada artist debuts in the title role this coming week.
Jillian Vanstone was literally rendered speechless the first time she met a professional ballerina. Having attended a touring performance of Swan Lake as a ballet-loving ten year-old, she scrawled an adoring note to dancer Evelyn Hart on a program insert and handing it to an usher.
Vanstone will be dancing the title role in the National Ballet's production of Cinderella, opening this week in Toronto at the Four Seasons Centre. The British Columbia native started in ballet at the age of six, and was later accepted into the National Ballet School. She formally became a part of the National Ballet of Canada in 1999. Four years later, Vanstone was promoted to Second Soloist; in 2006 she was promoted to First Soloist, before being appointed a Principal Dancer in 2011. Vanstone's extensive repertory includes includes title roles in Giselle and The Sleeping Beauty, along with major featured roles in George Balanchine's Apollo (Calliope), James Kudelka's staging of The Nutcracker (Sugar Plum Fairy), Jerome Robbins' West Side Story Suite (Maria), as well as the title role in the much-praised Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Christopher Wheeldon in 2011. Each dancing experience has been special, sometimes playing parts in her very own fairy tale of sorts, but they didn't come without unique challenges, too.
Jillian Vanstone in 'The Sleeping Beauty' in 2009.
One factor that contributes to Vanstone's love of Cinderella is being present during the work's creation in 2004; another is working with choreographer James Kudelka, who, she says, "always talks about telling the story very clearly, and not doing anything extra, not distracting from the main point. It's figuring out the moments to make it bigger, exaggerate, what to tone down, how the thought process needs to be [...] finding within the very intricate choreography and technique how to best move the narrative forward in a way that reads well to the audience and makes them feel something."
Vanstone makes a point of understanding the characters she dances. In terms of approaching Cinderella, Vanstone says it'll be a mix of taking advice from dancers who've performed the role before, those who haven't, and figuring out what works best for her. "Ultimately, I'll make my own decisions as to how it makes sense to me," she says. "I never want to put something on that's more related to somebody else. You have to try to find the character within, rather than putting on a persona someone else has done before."
Aleksandar Antonijevic and Jillian Vanstone in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' in 2011.
It's this actorly understanding that has impressed critics, including Globe and Mail dance writer Paula Citron. In reviewing Alice in 2011, Citron wrote: Vanstone is an absolute charmer. Her technique has always been exquisite, but this ballet also demands an actress. Her Alice is a feisty girl who isn't afraid of anything, and who throws herself into every new adventure with gusto. She seems absolutely alive on stage, glowing with youth.
During rehearsals for Wheeldon's ballet, Vanstone had remarked that "I identify with her, and share in her wonder." This understanding of character seems to be as central to her as dance steps.
A dancer's joy in performing becomes one with the audience's experience of watching it, leading to a shared kind of connection, that is, according to the performer, palpable.
