You've been hearing about sustainable beef production for some time now. You know that McDonalds, the world's largest beef purchaser, wants all of its beef to be sustainably sourced in the near future and that the world's producers need to step up to meet that demand. You're up to date on the broad outlines of what sustainability means and its major parts (social, economic, environmental) and you also know some of the things demanded by sustainable practices – like less use of antibiotics, less fossil fuel consumption in transport, and less greenhouse gas emissions from both your herd, manure, and your vehicles – things that will challenge the industry and your operation.
It's all well and good to be environmentally sustainable, you may be thinking, but what if being sustainable means that I personally can't sustain my family and farm? What if the costs of sustainability are too great? That's a common and legitimate concern among ranchers and cow and calf producers across Canada. However, there doesn't need to be a trade off between how green your operation is and how much green there is in your bank account. Here are a few of the direct business benefits you can expect from pursuing sustainable practices for your ranch.
Enhanced Fiscal Performance – Sustainable practices require some upfront investment but will yield substantial savings in the long run. For example installing solar panels will not completely replace your electricity needs (this is Canada after all) but can significantly reduce your power bill in a way that will, over years of operation, cut the amount of expensive power you have to draw from the grid. Choosing more fuel efficient vehicles will protect you against surging energy costs and potential future carbon taxes, as well as contributing to branding your ranch as sustainable and environmentally friendly. Learning to use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is more economical than using a helicopter or a truck to locate your herd on the range, and requires less insurance and fuel spending. Healthier animals require some attention to your cattles genetics but will pay off in cattle that get less diseases, put on weight more quickly with less feed, and birth more easily.
Enhance Business Value – As government regulations around the beef sector and land use change to reflect greater voter demand being ahead of the curve will be very valuable. When everyone else is trying to catch up, having to change their operations and processes quickly and expensively, you'll already be in compliance and serve as a model others will want to copy. It's like looking after your health by eating right and exercising while you're young rather than waiting till you have serious complications like diabetes or heart disease when you're old – in both health and business it's always easier to start early.
Your sustainable practices also make your beef more marketable to your purchasers – being able to claim that their producers follow sustainable practices helps them appeal to the increasing number of consumers who are demanding "green" products. If, like an increasing number of ranchers, you direct market part of your beef each year you'll be able to charge premium prices for certifiably sustainable meat from those same discerning customers.
Reduced Risk – Finally, sustainable practices reduce your exposure to the risks of a changing climate. Sustainable operations are those that are not stressing their land, water, or herd and while being productive have slack that can help them survive and thrive through tough times. A prolonged drought in a forage growing region that increases the cost of feed, an outbreak of cattle disease prompted by warmer weather, and sudden price changes due to carbon taxes are all likely outcomes of climate change, ones which your operation, with a little preparedness, will be protected against.

We always strive to provide you with the most relevant, timely and educational information about the cattle industry by leveraging our blog, eNewsletter and multiple social media channels.

Does Winning Baseball Boost the Bottom Line During a Pandemic?
The Oakland A's are having a great season and boast one of the best records in MLB. However, no one is there to see the action: this begs the question, if a team wins the World Series and no one can come to the games, what does it mean for its financial health and long-term future?
In any other year, A's fans would be reading stories about how winning was translating to some degree of increased attendance at the Coliseum. The A's are drawing well/not drawing well enough are the two usual narrative threads. This year, all teams are tied -- at exactly zero fans. Win all you want, you can't sell more tickets, beer or jerseys (at the stadium stores anyway). While gate attendance is a measure of fan interest, it is a revenue driver -- even if not a huge one.
The financial loss from a shortened, fanless year is unknown. MLB pegged the A's loss in a May report at $115M. However, the report assumed an 82-game season and the final figures did not take into account distributions from the league's national media contracts. We're in the midst of (hopefully) playing 60 regular season games, meaning a greater loss seems likely.
Provided the A's make the playoffs -- extraordinarily easy this year and likely given their current pace -- one can assume that in some way this will be beneficial financially. However, like all items at the intersection of finance and baseball, the league and its teams are virtual "black boxes," revealing little to nothing.
One aspect of the A's fiscal health that shouldn't be glossed over is who owns the team: John Fisher. Fisher is heir to the Gap fortune and, like much of brick-and-mortar heavy retail, the chain isn't doing well as the pandemic rolls on. The San Francisco-based company since mid-March has closed 200+ stores, including its flagship one in the city. Fisher is a billionaire, but how much of his fortune is tied to Gap's performance and stock value? A downturn at Gap may lessen the already slim tolerance A's ownership has for not being profitable.
Beyond the financial implications of the bizarro year, there are psychological ones to think about as well. The A's have done a better-than-most job of making the empty Coliseum look and sound more normal. But, how is the winning spirit being converted into fan enthusiasm? One measure is TV ratings. The Athletic reported on August 22:
NBC Sports, which owns RSNs that broadcast the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies, said ratings are up double-digit percentages in each case.
Good news, right? Actually, increased TV ratings probably don't mean much for the A's. They are great for NBC Sports California and Comcast as they sell ads. The A's have no ownership in the channel (unlike the Giants) and have a set (and modest) annual contract with the network.
If the A's can't sell tickets now, are they trying to sell them for 2021? I haven't noticed a single ad touting A's Access plans for 2021. Other teams -- including the World Champion Nationals -- are not only actively advertising '21 plans, but also offering discounts and credits for new accounts. The A's only overture is providing a 5% discount to '20 All Access members who rollover their plan for tickets in '21. Of course, even if the A's rollout an aggressive '21 strategy, COVID reality or lingering unease may significantly dampen enthusiasm.
The goal, of course, is that an exciting A's team engages the community through winning it all, putting public sentiment squarely in favor of a new ballpark. Being World Champs or AL Champs even significantly raises the team's community profile. It sells tickets, hot dogs, jerseys and the public and its policymakers. With no fans and no parade (or at least traditional one), will winning the World Series materially translate the way the A's want and need it to?

Every garage door, whether operated electrically or manually, contains metal parts that require lubrication occasionally. Lubricating the moving parts, such as door's rail, springs, hinges, and rollers, prevents them from rusting or becoming squeaky, as well as keeps them in functioning order for years to come.
One common mistake homeowners do is using a standard lubricating oil such as WD-40, which is actually a degreaser that takes away the grease, rather than serve the right purpose. Rather, you should use a lithium-based lubricant, which you can find at the local hardware store. If you cannot find any, aim for a silicon-based lubricant. It isn't as good, but it's better than oil.
Another mistake homeowners do is lubricating the garage door opener's chain. Garage door openers come out of the factory with a protective coat that should last for as long as the opener is running. The most you should do to aid the chain is use a rug with a tiny bit of WD-40 to help smooth it out.
The third mistake is lubricating the tracks. Tracks don't need to be greased, but rather need to be cleaned.
1. Start by standing inside the garage and close the garage door shut. Pay attention to all the moving parts (springs, rollers, drums, and hinges).
2. Make sure you blow all the dust, dirt, and cobwebs that may have accumulated on the door's moving hardware. If necessary, climb a step stool to help cleaning the upper rollers, as well as the garage door overhead tracks.
3. Spray small amounts of lithium/silicone spray into the moving parts on the garage door. If your bearings are sealed (e.g. on rollers and drums) you don't have to do so, they don't require maintenance. Open and close the door a few times to make sure all parts are lubricated evenly. Spray additional lubricant if needed. Wipe away lubricant leftovers that drip.
4. If you have an electric opener, climb a step stool and spray the lithium/silicon spray on the top of the rail, which is where the trolley goes back and forth and creates friction.
Making sure your garage door is well groomed and maintained can add many years of functionality to it. If you have an owner's manual for the electric garage door opener and/or door itself, read it thoroughly, since the manufacturer may provide specific maintenance recommendations. Garage door openers operate in various ways depending on manufacturer and style.
During lubrication check all hardware for looseness and tighten necessary bolts. Also, make sure you use spray cans with a straw nozzle to be more accurate and reach tight spots.
Remember to use a lithium or silicone based lubricants rather than degreaser; degreasers may dry out rather than lubricate surfaces.

Office markets affected by corona pandemic – moderate increase in office vacancy in Top 7 cities expected
By Susanne Kiese and Marc Steinke
The Colliers forecasting model takes into account the impact on individual sectors, the impact of working from home and expected vacancy in new-builds and stock properties
Vacancy rates to remain relatively unaffected by crisis
Vacancy rates in Germany's Top 7 cities could experience a slight increase in 2021 from a very low 2.9% to between 3.9% and 5.5%
Return to peaks seen during the dot-com crisis and financial crisis not expected
Take-up: minimum take-up levels remain stable even during times of crisis
Stabilizing effect on rent trend
Munich, 6 May 2020 – The corona pandemic is rapidly changing our daily routines, the economy and society as a whole. Following strict lockdown measures, restrictions are now being gradually lifted in Germany. Billions in aid and reduced hours compensation have been granted to help companies avoid liquidity bottlenecks and limit economic fallout. At the same time, millions of employees are gaining experience in working from home as well as with strict hygiene and distancing regulations. How is the corona pandemic impacting the office markets?
According to Wolfgang Speer, Head of Office & Occupier Services at Colliers International Deutschland, "It is difficult at the moment to gauge the long-term impact of the coronavirus crisis on the office markets. In contrast to previous crises, we are seeing an external shock of unprecedented cause, scale and effect. We can nevertheless learn from past crises, identify patterns and trends and come up with different scenarios for anticipated vacancy levels using a forecasting model."
Forecasting model: predicting the vacancy trend during the coronavirus crisis
We analyzed different scenarios to illustrate the possible impact of the corona pandemic on the Germany's Top 7 cities. Vacancy rate as one of the primary performance indicators for office leasing markets proved an effective gauge. We applied the amount of office space currently taken up in each segment as a basis for estimating future space requirements. In the analysis, impacts on the economy are differentiated by industry. Our forecasting model takes into account the specific industry mix in each of Germany's Top 7 markets.
The sectors most affected by the lockdown include tourism, sports and recreation, the manufacturing industry and business center and coworking providers. In contrast, health and social services as well as public administration appear relatively unscathed by the pandemic.
Our forecasting model takes into account three factors currently impacting office take-up. The impact on economic development indicates how strongly each sector is being affected by the economic downturn. Development pipelines in the Top 7 markets (including pre-leasing activity) for 2020 and 2021 are also taken into account to reflect vacancy in new-builds. The third factor is the impact of working from home, which points to future office space requirements in consideration of increased numbers of employees working from home. This factor is based on the findings of our home office survey conducted in April, in which we asked 480 participants about their experiences with remote working.
We came up with three possible scenarios based on this anticipated demand for office space, each depending on the extent of the recession and the speed of recovery. These three scenarios account for fast, medium and slow recovery.
Vacancy forecast: vacancy rates to remain relatively unaffected by crisis
Vacancy has been dropping steadily since 2010, down from 10% to a current 2.9%. In absolute terms, vacancy dropped from over 8.7 million sqm to 2.7 million sqm.
"Based on the results of our vacancy forecasting model, we expect to see a moderate increase in vacancy. Depending on the scenario, the vacancy rate in Germany's Top 7 markets could rise from 2.9% in Q1 2020 to between 3.9% and 5.5% in 2021. With vacancy extremely low, it will be possible to reduce the shortage of space in many locations. Even in the most pessimistic scenario, vacancy will remain below a 'healthy' threshold of 5%. We do not expect vacancy to return to the record highs seen in the wake of the dot-com and financial crises," assesses Wolfgang Speer.
The local industry mix and differences in construction activity carry the most weight when it comes to forecasting vacancy rates. What's more, pre-leasing rates remain very high. 77% of space scheduled to hit the market in 2020 is already pre-let with pre-leasing rates for 2021 at 66%. "Thanks to these robust general conditions, expected vacancy rates in the fast recovery scenario range between 2.5% in Berlin and 8.0% in Frankfurt and between 4.5% in Berlin and 10.0% in Frankfurt in the slow recovery scenario," says Wolfgang Speer.
"The office markets always continue to see minimum take-up levels, even during times of crisis," comments Wolfgang Speer. When the dot-com bubble burst in 2002/2003, take-up in the Germany's Top 7 markets was recorded at just below 2.3 million sqm and slightly above that number during the financial crisis of 2009. During times of crisis, take-up is also limited by an increase in the number of leases being renewed, which are not included in final results pursuant to gif guidelines. Scarce supply and high rents have already led to an increase in the number of leases being renewed in some locations in recent years. "We expect to see more leases being renewed compared to new leases being signed as a result of the wait-and-see stance being taken by many companies and the impact of the recession," Wolfgang Speer continues.
Subleases could take on greater significance
"We anticipate a potential increase in vacancy not only at new-builds but also at stock properties," says Wolfgang Speer. Some leases set to expire relatively soon may not be renewed and new tenants could be difficult to find. Companies that have been highly expansive in the past may also decide to sublet some of their space. "At the moment, subletting only plays a minor role in the Top 7 markets, but we expect to see a stronger increase in this area," Wolfgang Speer comments and continues, "In some cases, businesses interested in subletting may even accept rents below market level in order to ensure liquidity."
Rent trend: increased pressure on prime rents with slight drop in average rents
Historical data shows that rent levels tend to recover from downward trends relatively fast. While prime and average rents in Germany's Top 7 markets shrank by 16% and 15%, respectively, between the years 2002 to 2004 after the burst of the dot-com bubble, the financial crisis had a far less severe impact on office rents. Prime rents in the Big 7 fell by 7% in 2008 and 2009, and average rents by just 1%. Prime rents in Germany's Top 7 markets have since increased by 41% to €35.50 per sqm and average rents by 58% to €21.50 per sqm. "We expect so see a slight adjustment from current levels. At the same time, prime rents could experience greater pressure than average rents," Wolfgang Speer explains, adding, "The extent to which subletting takes place and the conditions involved could have a significant impact on office rents."
Opinions among market participants vary when it comes to rent levels. In a recent survey conducted among top-level real estate decision-makers by Colliers International Deutschland in late April, 51% of those surveyed said they expected office rents to remain stable, particularly for core assets. 47% said they expected office rents to fall.
Outlook: Corona pandemic will affect office markets until 2021
"In light of the fact that a number of lease signings have been put on hold, we will have to wait on the transactions to come in the next few weeks before we are able to gauge the market trend going forward. The impact of the corona pandemic on the office markets will nevertheless be felt until 2021 in the form of limited take-up and moderate increases vacancy rates. However, with pre-leasing rates high and vacancy currently very low, we have the advantage of starting from a completely different baseline compared to the burst of the dot-com bubble and the financial crisis. The speed of overall economic recovery in the coming months will determine how severely office markets will be impacted by the corona pandemic," concludes Wolfgang Speer.

T-Mobile And Sprint's Planned Merger Is A No-Go
By Gabrielle Ware
Sprint's parent company seems to have soured on the idea since reports of the merger surfaced last month.
Sprint and T-Mobile won't be merging after all.
After a period of protracted flirting with the idea, Sprint's parent company opted not to merge the company with its rival cellular provider.
Reports indicating a merger surfaced late last month, and experts expected Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile's parent company, to become the controlling owner.
But Softbank, Sprint's owner, seems to have soured on the idea. Its board reportedly voted last week not to give up control. And both companies skipped conference calls with investors last week to avoid discussing the merger, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Related Story What Would A CVS-Aetna Merger Do For Consumers? Experts Aren't Sure
Sprint and T-Mobile's merger talks go back years. A similar deal was canceled over regulator concerns back in 2014.
The Wall Street Journal reports, "instead of a merger, Sprint plans to make a significant investment in its network."

Northeastern US Coast Could Be Struck By More Powerful Hurricanes In Future
Posted: Nov 27 2016, 5:01am CST | by Hira Bashir , Updated: Nov 27 2016, 5:09am CST , in Latest Science News
The increasing amounts of carbon emissions are pushing hurricanes away from the western Caribbean towards the Northeastern USA
Hurricanes are likely to become both stronger and more frequent in northeastern coast of United States thanks to carbon emissions.
A new research, led by Durham University, UK, has found that weather patterns that cause hurricanes have gradually moved from Western Caribbean towards Northeastern coast of America over the course of few centuries and this shift in weather patterns will lead to increase in intensity and frequency of hurricanes over American Northeast. In contrast, the occurrence of hurricanes has considerably decreased in some parts of the Caribbean.
The data shows that the deviation in hurricane track is linked to the changes in distribution of heat in the atmosphere – possibly caused by the increasing carbon dioxide emissions.
This inevitably means that New York and other big coastal cities are at high risk of major impacts caused by hurricanes and they need to be better prepared for it.
To reach at the conclusion, researchers reconstructed rain patterns for the western Caribbean dating back 450 years by analyzing the rock formation from cave in southern Belize, Central America.
Researchers found that the average number of hurricanes at the Belize has decreased over time. The reason is hurricanes are moving to the north rather than declining in numbers and manmade emissions in the late 19th century are likely the main driving force behind the shifting of hurricane tracks.
"Our research shows that the hurricane risk to the Northeastern coast of the United States is increasing as hurricanes track further north," said study's lead author, Dr Lisa Baldini from Department of Geography, Durham University.
"Since the 19th Century this shift was largely driven by man-made emissions and if these emissions continue as expected this will result in more frequent and powerful storms affecting the financial and population centers of the Northeastern United States."
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the Caribbean and much of the eastern coastal area of United States, killing hundreds of people and ruining billions of dollars of properties. The study urges authorities to make better plans for mitigating the potential devastating effects of future hurricanes.
Dr Lisa Baldini says. "Given the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy it is important that plans are put in place to protect against the effects of similarly destructive storms which could potentially occur more often in the future."

Japanese Classic Car Show: The Twelfth Year
CSF Attends Another Classic Event
October 4, 2016 // START THE CONVERSATION
As the sun rose on the twelfth Japanese Classic Car Show you could hear the engines rev and the braaps of the rotaries while they anxiously wait to roll in. You couldn't ask for a better backdrop than the iconic Queen Mary and the stunning views of the Long Beach Harbor. Since our booth was right at the entrance, I had a front-row seat to the roll-in while setting up. It took me a little longer to set up because I couldn't help but check out the rides as they came by, but it was well worth it.
The JCCS has truly evolved throughout the years. This show is a must for all automotive enthusiasts, of all ages. I was glad to see many families attend as well. The JCCS has become a premier event where the auto manufacturers select this event to debut new rides and celebrate model anniversaries. The cars on display ranged from all original to slightly modified and full builds for the track. Because of the variety of cars, and motorcycles, there was something appealing to everyone.
This row of Datsun 510's highlighted everything from stock to fully built and captured a lot of attention from show-goers. More of the 510's to come…
Japanese Classic Car Show Honors Honda
The Honda scene at the Japanese Classic Cars Show continues to grow as more EF's show up. In several years, Honda's presence will evolve when more late 80's and early 90's models become eligible. However, JCCS also hosts an event called "Street Neo Classics -80's & 90's Show". Because some of the late 80's and early 90's are considered too new to be a classic, JCCS introduced this special event.
This one particular Honda CRX caught my attention. I've seen pictures online but it doesn't do this car justice. It is 10 times better seeing it with my own eyes. This is a 1987 Straman CRX Si owned by Doug Husley #103 of 130 confirmed built. Back in the late '80s American Honda had Straman build a limited run of these topless CRX's.
I'm different, yeah I'm different, Pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing!
Honda also revealed the newly restored N600 aka "Serial One". Serial One is the first Honda automobile imported to the U.S. from Japan. The N600 is air-cooled, two-cylinder single overhead cam with 40 MPG and priced at $1,395. This really was a game changer in the 70's.
The N600, #HondaSerialOne, nearly weighted half of the best-selling car at the time, and got 40 MPG. This really paved the way for Honda and they continue to achieve efficiency and remain stylish to this day.
Honda, along with the other manufacturers had a then and now display. They featured the 1990 & 2017 Acura NSX
Bridging the #NSX gap. These two were definitely breaking necks.
More Honda on display!
Nissan and Datsun — Japanese Classic Car Show
As expected, the Nissan and Datsun presence never disappoints. From iconic Fairlady Z to the monstrous Godzilla, Skyline GT-R and everything else in between, Nissan continues to make their impression at JCCS.
There were plenty of S30 eye candy for everyone to see. The ladieZ were out to play! Enjoy the "Z-Gallery"
I don't want to shortchange anyone so what's a JCCS without some nickel and dimes. Stock or completely decked out, the Datsun 510's came out to play! First up is the symbolic BRE #46 Datsun 510. The 1971 SCCA Trans Am 2.5 Challenge, a class that was previously dominated by Alfa Romero, Fiat, Porsche, and BMW, was the competition that put Datsun on the map in US racing. Winning the 1971 and 1972 SCCA Trans-Am championship sparked the rich racing heritage of Datsun and Nissan in the US.
Preserved piece of Datsun and Nissan's history in the flesh
The artwork under Thomas Buggia's 1971 Datsun 510, aka "BuSu", caught my eye. Then I read the first line of his description card on his dash and it read, "1971 BuSu Datsun 510 restomoded using unicorn blood, dreams, and the souls of children." I just loved the artistic concept of the artwork along with the car.
"Your soul is mine" – Shang Tsung – Mortal Kombat =)
Here are a few of the Datsun 510's that made an appearance at JCCS:
I wish I could show all of the 510's that were there. You'll just have to attend to take it all in.
Another Japanese Classic Car Show favorite is the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Surprisingly there were a good number of them on display considering they were only sold in Japan. The more states side enthusiast get their hands on them, the more we get to admire them at shows.
There's nothing like a couple of Classic Skyline GT-Rs hard parked like a boss.

Toyota @ Japanese Classic Car Show
Toyota celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Corolla. They brought a few classic Corollas for their display. One of them is one of the most sought after classic Corollas, a 1985 Corolla GT-S Hatchback Hachiroku, a.k.a. the infamous "AE86". Everyone who's ever read/watched the Initial D manga fantasized of having an AE86 including myself. Even those who weren't into Initial D loved this car. This was one of the best hatchbacks of the 80's in my opinion.
If the Fujiwara's AE86 was this color, it may have ended up part of the RedSuns. ^_^
Amongst the Corollas was this classic Toyota 2000GT:
There was one that sold for $1,155,000.00 a couple years back….maybe they should have put a velvet rope around this one too!
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Corolla, here's more pics of some classic Corollas and other Toyota models that were on display
Mazda Zoom Zoom into the Japanse Classic Car Show
Mazda also brought some heat to the show. One of them was the 1979 RX-7 GTU. Mazda entered two versions in the Daytona 24-hour race where they qualified first and second in the GTU-Class. Just like the BRE #46 510, the RX-7 GTU surprised many and really made a mark for Mazda in US motorsports.
This car looks fast just sitting there. I remember Hot Wheels making different color variations of this RX-7.
Another iconic car Mazda had on display was the 767B. Mazda has been restoring it for the past couple of years. It still has the 13J four-rotor engine with 630hp.
The 767B has several class wins and I believe it's sister car (chassis 001) or this one has won the GTP class at Le Mans.

Japanese Classic Car Show Featuring Mitsubishi
Although Mitsubishi was not there, some car owners represented them very well. Take a look at this Mitsubishi Starion with an LS3 Corvette swap. This is a superb build with so much work done to it. The pictures speak for itself, but as usual, there's nothing like seeing this in person. In fact, I saw this on the roll-in, more like felt it roll in, and this is one beastly machine. I was able to speak to John for a bit, a real stand up guy, and who knows, there might be something brewing in the near future with CSF Race and Lazorack Motor Sports (LMS).
Classic Bikes @ JCCS
There was also a display of Japanese Classic Motorcycles. This was a unique display with a variety of makes and models.
CSF Sets Up Shop at the Japanese Classic Car Show
Last, but definitely not least, I present to you, the CSF Race and High-Performance booth at JCCS. We were very fortunate to have our booth right at the entrance. It was the first and last thing people saw so we had great exposure and lots of visitors. We had 2 stunning RocketBunny Boss S14 cars on display. Both of them rocking one of our newest addition to our product line, the "Boss Cooler" premium oil cooler. Of all the people I spoke with that day, it was the Datsun 510 owners who really reached out and expressed their cooling needs. We really appreciate you guys and your voices have been heard. We plan on developing a copper/brass and full aluminum radiator in the near future. Stay tuned my friends…
Well, that's the JCCS in a nutshell. There was much more to the show than pictures and a blog can express. I can't wait to see what's in store for next year's 13th Annual Japanese Classic Car Show. I'm sure it's one you wouldn't want to miss. I truly was brought back to memory lane, and the JCCS made me want to look for a classic ride to restore and build. Till next time!

TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher blames 'divorce stress' as she's banned from driving for two years after being caught three times over drink-drive limit
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 41, was stopped by police in Eton, Berkshire after failing a breathalyser test
Kirsty Gallacher leaves court after pleading guilty to drink-drive charge

Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher has been banned from driving for two years after she was caught three times over the drink-drive limit - after blaming the 'stress of her divorce' for the crime.
Gallacher, 41, was arrested on Saturday August 12 in Eton, Berkshire after being spotted 'driving erratically', a court heard.
The presenter, who is divorced from the ex-rugby union player Paul Sampson, had been on her way to meet her children for a day out at Windsor Castle when she was stopped by officers from Thames Valley Police, the court heard.
The Scot was seen driving erratically by witnesses in the town, before officers tracked her parked BMW X4 using CCTV.
Police conducted a roadside breathalyser test which showed her alcohol level was at 106 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath.
The drink-drive limit in England and Wales is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant pleaded guilty at Slough Magistrates' Court to one count of driving a motor vehicle while her alcohol level was above the legal limit.

Police escorted her into court (
She was banned from driving for two years, ordered to carry out 100 hours of community service and told to pay a £85 fine.
Gallacher had been going through tough divorce proceedings with Sampson at the time and was 'horrified' by the situation, magistrates were told.
Miss Ali, prosecuting, said: ''On August 12th at 11am officers received information that a female had been driving a red BMW X4 intoxcicated.
''They tracked it with CCTV to locate the female. The car was parked on Eton High Street.
''Officers said she smelt of alcohol. She was given a roadside breath test which she failed.''
Jennifer Dempster, in mitigation, said: ''She is not someone who normally drinks to excess. She is a person of good character.
''This is not intentional drink driving, she was not leaving the pub at midnight and driving home.
''She is horrified she is in this position.
''This is a young lady, it has been a stressful time.
"There are difficulties arising from the breakdown of her marriage, the final hearing for which is next week.''
The night before her arrest Gallacher had appeared on Sky Sports News at 6pm for an hour-long show to preview the start of the Premier League football season.
Just hours later she posted a snap of herself enjoying a night out with pals at the Winning Post pub in nearby Winkfield.
She is considered the poster girl for Sky Sports News and will celebrate her 20th anniversary with the channel next year.
Kirsty walks into court with her lawyer (
She is charged with one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the legal limit (
Daily Mirror)
Thames Valley Police said: "Kirsty Gallacher, aged 41, was charged with one count of driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level was above the legal limit."
She competed in the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Jasvir Kaar Bhatti, probation officer, told the court Gallacher didn't realise she was over the limit "until the next day".
He added: "There are divorce proceedings going on at the moment which are stressful. She is very remorseful and apologises."
The model previously dated rugby player Danny Cipriani , who reportedly ended their six month relationship because of the 12-year age gap.
Following the split in 2016 Kirsty told OK! magazine: "As a woman, you kind of come into your own in your late thirties and forties. You know yourself and you know what you want.
"I feel great – I'm at a good point in my life."
Previously, Kirsty split from her ex after 15 years together and four years of marriage.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the batter ingredients.
Heat a seasoned Scandanavian krumkake iron (mine is 6 inches in diameter, made by Nordic Ware) over medium, flipping from time to time so that both plates of the iron heat evenly. (As the iron is heating, brush the inside of both plates with a tiny bit of oil.) Open up the top plate of the iron and pour about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter into the center of the bottom plate. Immediately close the top plate and press the two handles together to spread out the batter to wafer-thin. When you see (and hear) the batter "whoosh" out from between the irons, release your pressure.
After about 30 seconds, flip the iron over and cook until the marquesita is golden brown, about 30 seconds more. Open the iron, sprinkle on a little cheese or drizzle with a little cajeta. Slide the marquesita off the iron and without waiting an instant roll it up. Hold it, seam-side down, for a few seconds until the roll crisps up.
Marquesitas are best served as soon as they're made. Or, make them without cheese or cajeta and you'll be able to store these crispy cookies in an air-tight container for several days.
I am sooooo happy to have found your page with Oaxaca Quesillo , I will have to make first thing in morning !!! Thank you so much.
We haven't been able to find the traditional Mexican irons, but these Scandinavian versions will work perfectly!
Can I use a Maricona press that is used to flatten masa for empanadas? Can I use it to cook d batter?
I actually am not familiar with what you'r talking about. But see the link in my other comment for a great substitute you can buy online!


The Man of God, Prophet Philip Banda has walked the length and the breath of the land of Israel more than a decade.
God Almighty has seen his faithfulness and commitment towards Israel and his love towards His chosen people, the Jewish Nation. In return, God has brought Israel to him in the form of the top representative of the land.
On Sunday 30th April 2017, IFCM (Impact for Christ Ministries) was graced by the presence of the Israel Ambassador to South Africa, his Excellency, Mr. Arthur Lenk.
Celebrations were heard in praise and worship, we danced in our African style and Hebrew prayers were recited. It did feel like the Ambassador was sent by God Almighty to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor for us. The oil of joy and the garment of praise removed all manner of heaviness during the service. The whole sanctuary was saturated by tangible presence of God.
When the Ambassador was given an opportunity to address the congregation, his first question was "do you believe in miracles'? And this question is especially relevant to the IFCM members because Prophet Philip Banda stands for and with Israel and the Ambassador's visitation was a way of God telling us to believe his servant.
The Ambassador boldly declared that IFCM is a bridge between Africa and Israel. He briefly articulated similar challenges that Africa and Israel face and described how we can conquer them together. He strongly believes in the connection between Africa and Israel which goes back as far as the time of his forefather Jacob. He said that the connection was established during the famine in the land of Canaan and Jacob's sons went down to Egypt to look for food.
The God of Israel once again granted the Man of God, Prophet Philip Banda the grace to lead the yearly Pilgrimage to Israel in 2016. As it is still the winter season in the Middle East, the freezing weather did not discourage the pilgrims of this historic spiritual event as everyone was looking forward to spend Christmas in Bethlehem.
The first three (3) days were spent around the Sea of Galilee visiting the surrounding areas such as Capharnaum and Korazim. The visits also included "The Mount" where Lord Jesus taught the Beatitudes to the multitudes according to Matthew 5, sailing in the boat on the Sea of Galilee as well as baptism in the River Jordan.
On the way to the Dead Sea, the pilgrims stopped briefly at Cana to witness the renewal of vows for the married couples who were part of the group. The wedding church in Cana is built right on top of the very foundation of the building where Jesus attended a wedding and turned the water into wine.
For the remaining days, the Pilgrims walked the length and breadth of the old city of Jerusalem. The Hanukkah celebration preparations were welcoming as the lights brightened the city and the songs of joy and victory were heard nearer and from afar.
Notable on this trip, more amazing evidences have been discovered as the excavations are ongoing in Israel, particularly in Jerusalem. Archaeologists have discovered more rooms below the remains of the Western Wall (destroyed temple). Such evidence makes it impossible to deny that God watches over his Holy City, Jerusalem 24/7 and 365 days a year. After centuries and centuries, God Almighty has kept these evidences for us and our generations to witness that the Bible is true in its entirety.
On the 25th of December 2016, the pilgrims led by Prophet Philip Banda made a historic spiritual journey to the most holy site situated in Hebron. According to Genesis 23, Abraham bought the cave of Machpelah from the sons of Heth to bury his dead. It is at this place where the Patriots, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah were buried. Hebron is a very important part of Israel as this was also the Head Quarters of King David for seven (7) years before he relocated to Jerusalem.
The pilgrims then headed for Bethlehem as it is recorded in the Holy Scriptures that the angels had announced the birth of Christ the Lord to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flock by night.
"13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us".
People from all walks of life were waiting patiently well over an hour inside the Church of Nativity. Upon reaching the manger, others were kneeling, others touching it and even lying prostrate as sign of acknowledgement of the birth of the King of Kings over 2000 years ago. The surrounding environment was filled with excitement and gigantic Christmas trees were seen nearer with bright lights. The celebration of Christ's birth was witnessed with joy and excitement.
A question then remained: what are all these nations searching for in the Holy Land especially during Christmas as this period is deemed to be time to spend with families and loved ones? Are they searching for gold or diamond or any precious stone? The answer is: the search is far beyond any precious stone that's exist. It is about that fulfilling spiritual journey to explore and experience the Bible alive in the land where it all started. The land whom God Almighty promised to Abraham and all his descendants, the Jews.

Q: Some buttons work multiple times, some buttons don't work multiple times So a friend and I are building a simple little formula calculator for my website and we are running into a bit of an issue. I would like all the buttons on the webpage to run multiple times without needing to refresh the page. As it stands all the buttons work once but only the Fahrenheit and Celsius buttons work multiple times. I see absolutely no reason why those buttons work repeatedly but the others do not.

The second time the button gets pushed and wants to call the function with that name it no longer exist because JS now only nows that variable (as that was the last thing with that name).
Try mixing different names or uppercase and lowercase, for example:
function percent() -> variable percentage
function GPM() -> variable gpm
function LPM() -> variable lpm

UN top court to hold genocide hearings over Russia invasion
byManila StandardandAFP
in News, Top Stories
The International Court of Justice said Tuesday it would hold genocide hearings on March 7 and 8 over the war in Ukraine, as fighting intensifies.
SAFE ARRIVAL. Some 13 Filipinos from Ukraine have arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City from the Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland accompanied by Foreign Affairs officials. They are part of the 40 evacuees who have left Kyiv for Lviv and crossed the border of Poland-Ukraine. Danny Pata
The Hague-based ICJ, the United Nations' top court, will open the public hearings after Ukraine lodged a complaint with the court to order Russia to stop its invasion.
"The hearings will be devoted to the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by Ukraine," the court said in a statement.
More than 660,000 people have already fled abroad, the UN refugee agency said, estimating that a million people are displaced within ex-Soviet Ukraine, which has a population of 44 million.
The UN estimates that up to 4 million refugees may need help in the coming months and 12 million more will need assistance within the country.
The ICJ, which is based in the Netherlands' seat of government in The Hague, does not have a mandate to bring criminal charges against individual Russian leaders behind the invasion.
But it is the world's top court for resolving legal complaints between states over alleged breaches of international law.
International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan had already announced he was launching an investigation on the "situation in Ukraine" following Russia's invasion.
"I am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to believe that both alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Ukraine" since 2014, Khan said in a statement Monday.
Russia has defied international bans, boycotts and sanctions to press ahead with an offensive it says is aimed at defending Ukraine's Russian speakers and toppling the leadership.
The United States trusts "the Court is taking into consideration the dire circumstances and rapidly unfolding events," the State Department said in a statement Tuesday.
Spokesman Ned Price said Washington hopes the court "will act with utmost urgency on Ukraine's request for provisional measures" in the hearing.
"Each day that Russia is unconstrained in its aggression is a day that brings more violence, suffering, death, and destruction in Ukraine," he said.
After more than 100 countries spoke during two days of extraordinary debate, the UN General Assembly was poised to vote Wednesday on whether it will vigorously deplore Russia's invasion of Ukraine and demand Moscow withdraw troops immediately.
The vote on the draft resolution is being touted by diplomats as a bellwether of democracy in a world where autocracy is on the rise in countries from Myanmar to Venezuela, and comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces bear down on Kyiv while terrified Ukrainians flee.
The resolution is non-binding, but — if it passes — will serve as a powerful rebuke to Russia on the world stage and a marker of its isolation. The vote must reach a two-thirds threshold to pass.
Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Moscow has pleaded "self-defense" under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
But that has been roundly rejected by Western countries who accuse Moscow of violating Article 2 of the Charter, requiring UN members to refrain from the threat or use of force to resolve a crisis.
The text of the resolution — led by European countries in coordination with Ukraine — has undergone numerous changes in recent days.
It no longer "condemns" the invasion as initially expected, but instead "deplores in the strongest terms the Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine."
It also makes clear the United Nations is "condemning" Putin's decision to put his nuclear forces on alert, a move that ignited an immediate outcry from the West.
Nearly every General Assembly speaker Monday and Tuesday unreservedly condemned the war and the risks of military escalation.
Amid fears of a domino effect should Ukraine fall to Russia, Colombia rejected any return to "empire," while Albania wondered: "Who will be next?"
From the Arab world it was Kuwait, itself the victim of an invasion by Iraq in 1990, whose denunciation of Moscow was the most explicit, with the rest of the Middle East remaining in the background.
Japan and New Zealand led condemnation from Asia, while India – close to Moscow militarily — remained cautious and China stressed the world had "nothing to gain" from a new Cold War.
But Russia was not entirely friendless, as Syria, Nicaragua, Cuba and North Korea all sided with Moscow and blasted what they saw as the double standards of Western nations who have invaded countries including Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years.
Several countries are left to speak before Wednesday's expected vote, among them Moscow's ally Belarus — which allowed Russia to use its territory as a launchpad for part of the invasion — and the United States.
Washington, like Europe, has adopted a barrage of sanctions aimed at isolating Russia and stifling its economy so that it cannot finance the war.
On the General Assembly sidelines, Washington has taken aim at Russians working at the United Nations, leveling accusations of espionage and demanding expulsions Tuesday for the second day running.
US President Joe Biden asserted Tuesday in his first State of the Union address that Putin had underestimated the West's response to the invasion.
"He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West and NATO wouldn't respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home," Biden said.
"Putin was wrong. We were ready."
Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday said that 21 Filipino seafarers were safely transported from Ukraine to Moldova, but 141 Filipinos remain in the war-torn country.
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Sarah Lou Arriola said the all-Filipino crew were extracted by Philippine Honorary Consul in Moldova Victor Gaina from Chornomorsk in Ukraine between Feb. 27 to March 1.
Of the 141 remaining Filipinos, 45 are in Kyiv, 55 are near the Hungarian border and the others are spread across Ukraine. At least 87 seafarers are also onboard ships docked near the country.
Arriola said many Filipinos are still hesitant to go home, some of whom refused to separate from their Ukrainian family while some opted to stay with their employers.
But she said the Philippines would continue monitoring them to ensure their safety and extend aid, including evacuation support, when requested.
Since Russia launched a massive military assault against Ukraine on Feb. 24, around 40 Filipinos have safely crossed the Polish border. At least 27 Filipinos have also sought refuge in Moldova, nine in Austria and four in Romania.

Chinese FA opens probe into Senegalese star racism controversy
Monday, August 06, 2018 — updated on July 04, 2020
Ba, a Senegalese international, had played for Shenhua in 2015-2016 before being sidelined by a broken leg.
Brief spells with Turkish sides Besiktas and Goztepe followed before Ba returned to Shenhua in June during the summer transfer window.
China's football authority said Monday it was investigating reports that Senegalese striker Demba Ba was subjected to racial slurs by an opposing Chinese player during a weekend match, vowing "stern punishment" if the incident proved true.
The African former Chelsea forward, now with Shanghai Shenhua, became embroiled in a heated confrontation with Changchun Yatai midfielder Zhang Li late in their 1-1 Chinese Super League draw on Saturday night after Ba collided with one of Zhang's teammates.
Various Chinese media reports said a furious Ba later claimed that Zhang had hurled racially insulting remarks at him.
The Chinese Football Association (FA) said in a statement that it had launched an investigation and would hold hearings to determine whether any league conduct rules were violated.
"If this is true, there will be stern punishment in accordance with the rules," it said.
"We oppose racist behaviour in any form."
The statement did not mention any particular players.
Ba has not commented publicly on the affair but has retweeted anti-racism posts on his personal Twitter account.
In a post-match press conference, Shenhua coach Wu Jingui had confirmed that "a Yatai player used insulting language toward" Ba.
Following the match, Chinese social media exploded with calls for an investigation.
If misconduct is proven, any guilty parties could indeed face tough sanctions from domestic football authorities who will want to nip any controversy in the bid.
Chinese football is already under government scrutiny after splurging teams brought in a series of high-priced foreign players on transfer deals in recent years, prompting the government to impose tough spending curbs amid concerns over clubs' solvency.
It is easy to argue that all the multimillion-shilling cases that have been withdrawn were politically motivated.

You can use the knife not only for mixing colors, but to apply paint to a surface, too — this lends particularly painterly effect to your pieces. You can, technically, mix colors with your brush. But you may find that paint gets embedded in the brush and ultimately gets wasted and not mixed properly.
