How Canada Proved That Thirst Knows No Season
By: Justine Fletcher | 06/19/2017
In 1924 Robert Woodruff, president of The Coca-Cola Company, stood at a train station in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and was amazed. Here in subzero weather people were drinking Coca-Cola. Woodruff knew that Canadians had a thirst for the drink – as sales were climbing throughout Canada – but it was the fact that an ice-cold Coca-Cola was being enjoyed in such a cold part of the world that gave him pause.
Woodruff had become the President of Coca-Cola just the previous year and Moose Jaw was just one stop on his cross country trip to meet bottlers and survey how the soft drink business was fairing "up North". The advertising slogan 'Thirst Knows No Season' had been used since 1921, but it took this trip to Canada and Robert Woodruff himself, to push the teams in Atlanta to step up winter advertising and promote Coca-Cola as a year round drink.
Soon posters and print ads featured skiers, snow and ice skaters enjoying Coca-Cola in the outdoors. The slogan took on even more meaning as the teams in Atlanta pointed to the quickly growing bottling business in Canada to urge on bottlers in warmer climates. Speaking at a Bottlers Convention in 1925 Harrison Jones, a vice-president in charge of Coca-Cola sales, recalled being in Winnipeg at a skating rink in zero degree temperatures while 2,400 bottles of Coca-Cola were sold. It was official, bottlers in warmer climates no longer had an excuse not to sell Coca-Cola in any type of weather!
This revelation appears to have been something Canadian bottlers had known all along as they adapted to the colder temperatures when delivering Coca-Cola over the vast Canadian landscape. Fearing the drinks would freeze and shatter, bottlers became inventive as they prepared cases of Coca-Cola for travel in the colder weather. Some would put the cases around stoves in the plant to keep the drink warm until they were put into a truck with a heater and set off for deliveries. Other bottlers paid to feed local farmers' horses in the winter so the horses could pull sleds for deliveries in the snowy weather. No matter what, those bottles of Coca-Cola were going to be delivered!
Canada's sales numbers quickly became historic. In 1927 the Montreal plant bottled 380,000 litres of Coca-Cola, within 3 years they had bottled nearly 2 million litres! By 1934, the Montreal bottling plant was the largest producer in the world and December was one of its best sales months. Print advertising was quickly developed comparing Montreal and New Orleans, proof that Coca-Cola could sell regardless of the climate.
While Coca-Cola may have been refreshing Canadians for 120 years, Canadians have been proving Coca-Cola can be refreshing year-round for just as long. Those first Canadian bottlers knew then what we all take for granted today, that Coca-Cola is a drink for any place, anywhere – no matter the season, weather or temperature. It took Canada to show Robert Woodruff that thirst truly knows no season.
Justine Fletcher is an archive specialist at The Coca-Cola Company and is currently helping Coca-Cola Canada celebrate 120 years of refreshing Canadians as part of Canada 150.

Q: how to use url for local images to set background-image in css I try to use a local image for background-image in css, then ı use this usage but it does not work. Why?
background-image: url("pexels.jpg");
/* I use both of them*/

A: Maybe you should change
background-image: url("images\pexels.jpg");

to
background-image: url("images/pexels.jpg");

A: change the url to
background-image: url("./images/pexels.jpg");

A: Your code is correct but you need to pass a right path of your local image. This is my folder structure, where i placed my images in my project & i am accessing like this:

background-image: url(../../../assets/images/bg.png);

I am using it in my child component, you need to check on what level your component exists, accordingly put the correct path.

Book gets the job done.
The book had a lot of tears but the content is all there and it gets the job done.I love that it came with the CD's.
Bought the book new but didn't realize that the CD's are sold separate, look for a used book deal that has them included if you are going to need them!!
Book was fine but ws disappointed that it did not come with the cd's that were required for my daughters class. In reading the description again, I got exactly what I was promised. Had to go purchase the cd's seperarly bringing the price near what the school was charging for the set.
Excellent service. Shipped very fast, and received well within the time stated. Product is in great condition, same as described.
I just placed an order for this book and I ordered the wrong one. I need to cancel my order.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the price of college text books. I am stunned that this little book costs $100, I personally think it is totally unethical to charge this much for a book. Another huge complaint I have it that I spend $100 for a music book and the three companion CDs are not included, I would have to fork out another $40 just to have the music to go along with the book. Shame on these publishing companies that overcharge for books and leave out critical material.
There should be an ISBN number for a bundle that includes the book and CD.I have taught using this book and had no problem with orders as long as I used the right ISBN number.It pays to do your homework.
I also received no CD's with mine.Now I am trying to find the CD's seperately online.Does anyone know where to get them?!
Good, but for the price, and for being a college text, should be better.
For one, some very important regions (Middle East, for example) are missing from this "World Music" text book. It also seems to be a bit choppy in the efforts to highlight the most relevant areas of regional music. Rather than taking an overview perspective of each region, the author delves fairly in-depth into certain divisions of the specific examples he seems to find most interesting.
Since the book is intended to be an overview, I would have like to have had a systematic approach to each region, and the traditions, influences, instruments and patterns seen in each type of music. It wasn't that easy to follow, although the information provided was interesting.Unfortunately, there's not a lot out there in this subject, so there is little competition.
As with all text books, the price is immoral!
The book is interesting and the CDs that accompany the book are perfect with the reading!
I have enjoyed this book a lot. It really goes into the world's music cultures in detail. The CD that comes with the book has some very interesting listens on it.
Overall, an interesting book if you have to get it for your World Music class, as I did.
I don't mean to take the same words of the reviewer Nicholas H. Canale, but he's right. Worlds of Music is an excellent book containing two CDs to introduce you to the music of the world and its relation to the culture the music is found in.
The book contains an introduction which explains musical terms to non-musical people. From there, you're on your own to understand the how these terms apply to odd music cultures. Hopefully you will have a great professor or musically-inclined friend to help you out. Nevertheless, the authors all have Ph.D's in ethnomusicology (or a similar subject) and are very good at presenting information.
The book does indeed cost a pretty penny, but its well worth it. Then again, worth doesn't mean much if you're taking a 'World Music' class at college and don't have a choice. Even still, the situation isn't bleak - the audio examples are great, and you're bound to enjoy at least one foreign music you never considered worth your time before reading Worlds of Music.
This was a required book for a class that I took. I liked that all the terms weren't overwhelming as some texts can be. My teacher knows the author and seemed to have respect for him (obviously or she wouldn't have used the book!!) He described things well because he had actually studied all the music that he wrote about.
The second edition of World Music: A Global Journey introduces students to the diversity of musical expression around the world. It takes the reader across the globe to experience cultural traditions that challenge the ear, the mind, and the spirit. It presents a systematic study of varied traditions in a non-technical language accessible to any enthusiast of world music and culture. The second edition continues with its geographical orientation to each locale, and visits each of the seventy musical "sites" with a three-fold listening review that begins with an experiential "first impression" of the music. This is followed by an "aural analysis" of the musical organization and a closer look at the interesting instruments that create the exotic sounds heard. Finally, the authors consider the cultural connections that give the music its meaning. The second edition of World Music enhances its pedagogical efforts with Listening Guides, an enhanced website, and improved interior design. With nearly 300 photos of instruments and cultural settings, over two hours of music on the accompanying audio CDs, and online resources, World Music: A Global Journey provides a fundamental resource for teachers, students, researchers, musicians, and any enthusiast beginning their exploration of world music and culture.
I've used this book and accompanying CD's for the past few years as the basis of the world music aspect of the IB (International Baccalaureate) programme.My students have noted that they've found this text book easy to read and comprehend.Not all world musics are reviewed.However, it gives enough of a basis to allow the students to use the framework model noted within the book for further individual research within other musical contexts.
This textbook takes a travel approach to learning more about music from around the world. This helps you relate the music to the various lands and you really get a sense of how neighboring regions' music can affect each other.
The writing style is very readable and never comes across as "stuffy." I purchased this textbook because it was required for a college masters class and I truly enjoyed the reading assignments. So often textbooks at that level get so bogged down in terminology and "academic speak" that they are a chore to read. While there is plenty of terminology with this subject, the authors take time in the first 3 chapters to set you up for the journey. This includes explaining their philosophy and terminology used throughout the book. Major terms from the text are also defined in the margins next to where they were introduced which makes studying for tests and researching for papers and projects much easier.
Accompanying the text are 2 CDs (included) and generous amounts of photographs that allow you to hear and see the cultures as you study them. There is also a website for the book which includes even more supplemental materials. The book is broken into "sites" and as you "arrive" at each site you are introduced to the history, geography and native culture. You then dive in to one or more styles of music native to that region. Since music is a reflection of its culture, you can really understand the cultural basis of the music with this approach.
The book is designed to be an introduction to world music and not an exhaustive text on any one culture. That being said, I still came away with what I felt was a thorough primer of music from other lands. There is a lot of material in this textbook and it is a worthwhile read. While clearly a college text, I believe it would work well for a high school class in the hands of an enthusiastic instructor.
the book and both cd's were in really good condition and came in soon after placing my order. thanks!
Bought for a global diversity required class.I do not use the book and I ripped the CDs to MP3 and so basically I completely wasted my money.
This dynamic introductory book takes readers on a vivid exploration into the major musical cultures of the world by first presenting a lively vignette of a musical occasion, and then placing that occasion in the context of a general description of the society and musical culture. KEY TOPICS The book divides the world into ten major culture areas—and devotes a chapter to each, exploring the musical cultures of such fascinating lands as India, the Middle East, Indonesia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. The presentation features a synthetic treatment of musical life and ideas about music, musical style, music history, and musical instruments; briefly describes additional musical genres or contexts; and considers recent developments. For individuals interested in the music of the world.
The World Music Drumming book is extremely clear, direct and easy to follow.My students immediately grasped the concepts and were playing effortlessly right away.I really enjoyed the format of the lesson plan outlines with cross cultural references, review of past lessons, concepts to reinforce, assessments and reflections.My lesson plans were written for me for several weeks!I was inspired to ask our Music Boosters to purchase 3 new conga drums.I highly recommend this book for the general music classroom as well as a unit for any ensemble at the Middle School or High School level.
World Drumming By Will Schmid is the Best!
Got the textbook, but no CD's.
Hence the CD's itself cost around $45.00. Overall, it would've benefited me more if I were to receive the CD's for my Music Fundamentals class, but I guess the textbook at this price is great if you don't have the money to spend on excessively high priced books and supplements.
I am very happy with the text book I got, it is in great condition, super cheap and was mailed very quickly. Thank you so much for the great service!!!
I was extremely unhappy with this product. It was listed as including the 3 CDs, which is required with the book, and I received the book without CDs. If the CDs aren't included, this should not be listed this way, as it's wasting my time. I can't take a class using this book without the CDs, so why would I want only half of what I paid for?
Take my advice and buy it in person or you'll be boned too.
I recieved this promptly and in good condition, with the CDs included. The book does a good job of engaging musicology from a multicultural perspective, but at times is quite juvenile in its approach.
Philip V. Bohlman is a professor of musicology and ethnomusicology at the University of Chicago, an institution reknowned for its foundational works in Anthropology and Ethnomusicology. Being the nature of interdisciplinary ethnomusicologgical research, the book covers areas of study including Musicology, Anthropology, Sociology, History, Political Science, Economics and Philosophy.
He begins by expressing the limitations inherant in approaching a global phenomenon with only 150, 4"x7" pages. The reader is consistently reminded of the authors initial disclaimer when reading two paragraphs into an intriguing topic, and finding that it ends there.
Nevertheless, Bohlman presents a myriad of ways of approaching and interpretating the global phenonemon known as "world" music. He focuses on topics including: the history of western musicology and ethnomusicology, music in tradition, music in nationalism, music in diaspora, music in mediation, and music in the era of globalization. He also provides the reader with a nice collection of further readings, references and listening suggestions in the bibliography, organized by chapter.
A constant theme for Bohlman is the notion of "encounter". He attributes that it is within the experience of the encounter that we attribute meaning to the music itself, and to the context in which it is experienced.
He also postulates that there is a concurrent tension in so far as the way we "encounter" world musics, being mediated by global capitalism and market forces. This can potentialy take a traditional music out of context, resulting in an extention of post-colonial cultural hegemony or "cultural imperialism made sonorous" (147). Conversly, it can provide a medium for identity formation, revival, and representation, while potentially bringing people together, fostering empathy and harmony. You make the choice!
-Is the current manifestation of world music a reflection of a global world, where cultural bridges are being reconciled?
-Is world music a reflection of an economically globalized world, mediated by market forces and economic manipulation?
This is a complex question that Bohlman poses, ever so succinctly, yet all too briefly.
Great introduction for the student, active musician or passive listener.
The author examines the anthropological, sociological and ethnomusicological aspects of World Music.This is an essential text to the introduction of world music.
good purchase in this item!!!
The book was used in my Music Appreciation class. I liked it. It went along with the cd set well and is an easy and fast read.
I was very satisfied. The book came within a few days of just ordering it. I will definitely do business with you guys again. Is there a favorite or bookmark page for you guys or something?
The previous editions were actually better.They contained a better variety of music, listening and topics.The new edition has blatant errors... ie page 60, the performer is misidentified as Huddie Ledbetter, it is Taj Mahal.Pat Metheny is misidentified as "Bob Metheny" p. 133.There are more errors and shortcomings but the worst part is the brevity.Can you imagine the only listening examples of American popular music include Ethel Merman, Bob Wills, Ricky Skaggs, Gretchen Wilson, Little Richard, the Allman Bros, and Toni Braxton?
World music topics are arbitrary and spotty.There is no mention of Arabic music, Flamenco, and other important and influential traditions.
Only a passing reference is given to Latin Jazz, Jobim's music has been eliminated from the current edition of CDs even though his Girl from Ipanema is one of the greatest selling jazz records of all time. The French Gypsy Jazz of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli is not even mentioned.
Overall, a great concept but needs augmentation.
Book came exactly as descirbed and in great timing. I would use them again for other textbooks.
I was very happy with condition of the book and the condition in which it came.A++ transaction, great seller.
No cds and not wrapped in plastic.
This is one of my favorite books of all time.If you do not read music, you can purchase a tape or CD to go with it.We got the CD from our local library.I highly recommend it to anyone who is not too shy to sing a little bit with your storytelling!
We use this book as additional readings in our music history class. The book provides letters,critiques or concert reviews at that time. It's very interesting to learn history in this way.
I ordered this book as it is a prescribed text for my University studies next Semester. It arrived promptly and in good order. As for the content? Ask me again in 6 months time!!!
This book was in stated condition and was sent in a timely manner.
Music for the Western World is an excellent anthology of source readings in western music history. Texts are well-chosen and entirely relevant to the period being discussed. What's unique about this book is the breadth of issues addressed and variety of sources cited. You get to hear from all sorts of people, from composers, to critics, to philosophers, and the texts offered take the form of letters, articles, reviews, autobiographies. All is given within a clear historical context, with reference to such events as the Reformation, French Revolution, and World Wars. Interesting introductions by editors Richard Taruskin and Piero Weiss (my professor at the Peabody Conservatory) as well aspictures, diagrams, and a good glossary allow this book to go beyond being simply a textbook. Anyone with an interest in music will find it easy to understand and entirely enjoyable.
This is a particularly fine collection of a couple of hundred readings on Western Music from the ancient Greeks to the 1980s.That is a broad span, but the editors, Weiss and Taruskin, have done a fine job and keep things moving in a lively manner.The energy and vitality of these articles holds the reader's interest and wondering what treasure is coming next.
Of course, this is a perfect volume for students in courses on music history and music appreciation, but it is also a very fine book for the general reader who is interested in learning more about the history of Western Art Music ("Classical Music").
What I like about volumes of source readings is the way the writings give a better context and flavor of their time than any later writing.Yes, the editors have to provide some context for us, and the editors do make choices about what to provide to us and they are almost always in translation, but they make a valuable contribution to one's education about the matters at hand.
This book seems to be everything I've been looking for in a world music guide: simple clarity about what kinds of music are being made where, with suggestions about how to start listening to it.It reads like a good book on rock or jazz, avoiding the too-typical dry academic approach to "world" music.That's a good thing.
One day into it, though, and I've already caught a glaring error (and I'm no expert).The book discusses Amadou & Mariam as a Senegalese act, when in fact they're from Mali.It's a pretty bad mistake, considering the book's premise (country-by-country coverage) and especially considering Amadou & Mariam's global stature.
So.Helpful: yes.Authoritative: no.Treat it like Wikipedia I guess...a decent place to start, but don't take it to the bank.
The title, World Music: The Basics, is too modest for the breadth and depth of research, time and money saving recommendations, and the author's concise and intelligent style. The book serves as a primer for the newcomer to world music, as well as a reference book for the aficionado with a growing music library. Because the selections are based on the author's very exacting standards, the information remains timely and vital.
Worth buying for the CD recommendations alone!
Being a huge World Music junkie, I have been searching for a book of this sort. I have always enjoyed exploring new artists from all over the world, but the hunt can prove overwhelming and this book gives a great help.
It is great fun to read, full of interesting historical and musical facts - this guy really did his reasearch! It has some really interesting and daring political insights that impress me very much.
But the best thing for me about this book is all of the CD recommendations which are incredible. I have gotten more than 10 cds so far, based on recommendations from "The Basics" and they have been right on! Really discovering lots of new and fabulous stuff here.
I unhesitatingly recommend picking this up. A gem!
Wow!The world of World Music has gotten its first definitive guide.I can unhesitatingly give this hefty little tome 5 stars.This is an entertaining guide that covers an immense amount of musical territory in an enjoyable and beautifully written way.This book is so smoothly written that it could be read cover to cover, but it is also ideal for consulting as an encyclopedia.I have found that Richard Nidel has impecable taste, and as a result this book is also a great resource for choosing the best recordings of an artist.
I would say that the sections of Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Turkey, West Africa, and Celtic Music are especially strong, and always peppered with extra facts both political and historical to give the music more background.
I find the real strong points of this great survey to be the spot-on cd recommendations and the obvious vast knowledge of World Music that comes through in Nidel's fluid prose throughout this little book.Being a World Music follower for some time now, it is obvious that there was an immense amount of research put in because this guy really knows his stuff.
There is an excellent intro by Jazz legend Branford Marsalis, and the book is a beautifully packaged 400 pages.
The research here is remarkable. The scholarship is first-rate, the information exhaustive (although never definitive since world music grows with leaps and bounds moment by moment).
I love dipping into this attractively illustrated, logically organized, and utterly helpful guide to find whole realms of sound which I not only didn't know existed but also could not even have imagined existed without the help of these fine fans of the music about which they write so clearly and well.
The world today is a depressing place. Sorrow is everywhere one turns. But this celebration of music continually energizes and revivifies. Buy it; enjoy it; and expand your CD collection.
Growing up, I would check out nearly any unusual recording from the public library, just out of curiosity.Learning about far-off lands and cultures via record labels like Folkways and Lyrichord, I was into "world music" ages before that phrase was used to pigeonhole any sort of ethnic folk or pop.
This book, initially checked out from the library with an equal degree of curiosity, opened my eyes and whetted my ears' appetite for armchair world travel.Reviews of regional music and culture (from dancing to politics), photos of artists and obscure album covers, and discographies of mostly vinyl and audiocassettes, all combined to create an intoxicating, seductive overview of much of the world's musical contributions.
So fifteen years have passed, and newer, expanded editions of this guide have hit the bookshelves.But I still appreciate having all of this information in one volume, and will refer to it first, even before doing online research.The essays and photos still enchant, and the discographies now contain geuinely rare recordings for which I will eternally quest.
If you are curious about world music, and don't wish to invest in heavier (both in weight and content) volumes, this book is an ideal place for bith study and browsing.The writing is informative while remaining funny, and the whole package will answer many questions before sending you into the world for any further information.
This is a good introduction to the major figures of world music and is a handy companion for anyone exploring the music. My other favorite world music book is "The Brazilian Sound" (Temple University Press,1998), which I also purchased through amazon.com.

Q: ParametricGeometry using Vector3 Updating a script to a newer three.js and running into a problem with ParametricGeometry.  I keep getting error: "THREE.ParametricGeometry: Function must now modify a Vector3 as third parameter."  Below is what I have:
var restDistance = 20;
var xSegs = 15;
var ySegs = 10;

var clothFunction = plane(restDistance * xSegs, restDistance * ySegs, zSegs);
var cloth = new Cloth(xSegs, ySegs);

clothGeometry = new THREE.ParametricGeometry( clothFunction, cloth.w, cloth.h, true );

I assume the Function referred to in the error is the clothFunction.  I've tried this but same error - what am I not understanding?
var clothFunction = function (u, v) {
                return new THREE.Vector3(restDistance * xSegs, restDistance * ySegs, 1);
            };

A: A similar question was already asked here: https://discourse.threejs.org/t/parametricgeometry-problem-with-parametric-function/3169
To make it short: Your parametric functions needs now a third parameter (target) that represents the results of your calculation. This approach avoids unwanted object creation by new THREE.Vector3().

Besides saving money from planning to the mechanic, you can impart your wisdom onto friends and family members. Remember these tips so you certainly can do auto repair by yourself!
Everyone wants the best deal when it comes to buying a car. Many people are unaware of what's required of them should they are going to get that job done. Some individuals even think they got the most effective deal when they actually are mistaken. Consider these helpful advice when learning more about finding the very best deals.

You just have to know what to do in order to counter against the salesmen's tactics. Once you have this down, you're sure to complete better on your following purchase.


A gluten allergy or intolerance or a diagnosis of coeliac disease need not spell disaster. Simply follow dietitian Caitlin Reid's expert advice on everything you need to know about leading a gluten-free life.
These days it seems everyone has a food allergy or intolerance, with gluten – a protein found in wheat and other grains – being the latest 'problem food'. Although the words 'allergy' and 'intolerance' are often used interchangeably to describe a collection of uncomfortable symptoms, the two are quite distinct conditions.
An allergy is due to an overactive immune system and can be diagnosed with a blood test. While a true wheat allergy is quite rare, an intolerance, which causes similar symptoms without an immunological response, is more common. There's also coeliac disease, which is due to an abnormal immune response, but is often incorrectly explained as an intolerance. When coeliacs eat foods containing gluten (a protein found in certain grains), the gluten causes uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, fatigue and diarrhoea, and damages the lining of the small intestine (known as villi). This damage decreases the ability of the small intestine to absorb important nutrients and can result in serious illness, particularly if the condition goes undetected for many years.
Coeliac disease affects one in 100 Australians, but health experts believe it is under-diagnosed and we could be seeing much higher numbers in the future thanks to an increased awareness about diet in general and better diagnostic methods.
Although coeliac disease is a genetic condition, the symptoms sometimes aren't apparent until adulthood and may be triggered by environmental factors. If you experience any of the symptoms we've mentioned after meals, it's a good idea to see your GP to rule out coeliac disease. Your doctor will recommend a blood test and, depending on the result, a small bowel biopsy will be carried out to confirm the diagnosis. In coeliacs, the lining of the small intestine, which normally looks similar to shag carpet, is instead flattened.
If you've been diagnosed with coeliac disease, following a strict gluten-free diet will eliminate the symptoms and can even reverse the damage done to the small intestine. Unfortunately, eating even a small amount of gluten can bring on the symptoms again, so the changes you make to your diet need to be permanent ones.
Gluten is found in a number of grains, including all varieties of wheat (spelt, durum, kumat, dinkel), rye, barley, oats, triticale and all derivatives of these products, such as malt and couscous. Foods such as barley, rye, wheat breads, wheat pasta, wheat- or oat-based cereals, biscuits, cakes and pastry products are among the many products that contain gluten.
Gluten can also be present in many other commercial foods including yeast extracts and dressings. While the thought of giving up some of your favourite foods can seem daunting, it's important to focus on all the great foods you can still enjoy. The trick is to find out as much as you can about a gluten-free diet, be on the lookout for great gluten-free recipes and experiment until you find what suits you.
Since December 2003, food labelling laws in Australia have made it a requirement for products containing gluten to be declared on labels at all times – whether it is present as an ingredient, a food additive or a processing aid. 'Contains gluten' is an example of what to look for on a product label.
If there is a possibility that the food may have been contaminated with gluten, such as when a gluten-free product is made on machinery that also made a gluten-containing product, a declaration such as 'may contain gluten' must also be made. Foods that display the words 'gluten-free' contain no detectable gluten.
When eating out at a restaurant or even ordering takeaway, food that doesn't contain gluten can become contaminated by other gluten-containing foods, unless separate workstations, utensils and cookware is used. A perfect example is when you order hot chips, which are gluten-free. However, if they are cooked in a deep-fryer that is also used to fry fish rolled in flour, the gluten from the flour can contaminate the chips, and for some people this small amount of gluten is enough to cause problems.
Besides asking what ingredients a dish contains, it's best to check with the waiter or even the chef how the food is prepared. It's also worth remembering that soy sauce can contain gluten, which may go unnoticed in the kitchen. It's a good idea to call a restaurant beforehand and ask about gluten-free options.
If you're eating at a friend's house, ask your host how they prepared the meal and what ingredients it contains to be sure it's gluten-free. Or better still, talk to them a day or so in advance and give them a few tips and ideas for preparing a gluten-free meal.
Cooking without gluten can seem a little daunting at first, but these handy hints will make it easier for you.
Replace wheat flour in your favourite recipes with gluten-free flours or flour substitutes. Gluten free flours can be found in the health food aisle of your supermarket and are carefully formulated to give the best results.
1/2 soya flour, 1/4 potato flour and 1/4 rice flour.
Simply taking gluten out of a baking recipe will make your delicious baked goodies crumble. To improve the texture of your food and reduce crumbling, add xanthum gum, guar gum, or pre-gel starch to your recipes. For more information, contact the Coeliac Society 02 9411 4100 or visit www.coeliacsociety.com.au.
You may need to add more raising agents (such as baking soda or baking powder – check the label for gluten-free varieties) when using gluten-free flours.
*Gluten is not detectable in these ingredients, even if derived from wheat.

Łęg Probostwo – St Catherine's Church
church plan according to J.Żabicki, Leksykon zabytków architektury Mazowsza i Podlasia, 2010
The construction of the church of St. Catherine began in 1409 from the building of the chancel, to which around 1470 a nave was added, founded by Mikołaj Dołęga, a canon of Płock. Probably in the first half of the 15th century a western tower was added. In the sixteenth century, three pairs of brick columns supporting timber ceiling were added. The renovation of the temple was carried out in 1712, 1725, 1817-1825 and 1870-1875. The last renovation connected with the church's regothisation, during which the columns were removed, was made in the years 1977-1987.
The church consists of a rectangular nave and an older, also rectangular, but a bit narrower chancel. The nave is preceded by a tower of equal height. A vestry and a treasury were added to the presbytery from the north with a room on the first floor. The walls of the temple are lined with numerous buttresses (on one of them on the west side a stone in the form of a mask was laid) and narrow windows, some of which have an ogival shape. Between the windows the façades are decorated with blendes with shapes similar to windows. On the axis of the west façade and in the south elevation there are brick, profiled portals. The walled up portal is also located in the southern wall of the tower at the height of the first floor. It led to matroneum (gallery). The eastern wall of the chancel is adorned by a late-gothic stepped gable with pinnacles and ogival blendes. Similar is on the west side of the church.
The interior of the nave is covered by a timber flat ceiling, while the sacristy and treasury have vaults. In the nave, one of the portals was placed in the wall thickness, perhaps it originally led to the pulpit. The chancel arch was given an ogival form with a profiled chancel beam from the 16th century. In the presbytery, a sacramentarium recess with a two-sided closure was placed in the eastern wall.

In the wake of the killing of four police officers in Lakewood last Sunday, Spokane Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick recently made some changes when it comes to Spokane police officers writing up their reports all alone. It's not allowed.
In the past police officers would park their patrol cars in the middle of the Spokane Arena to write up their reports on their computers at the end of their shifts. The parking lot afforded them clear fields of view for up to a hundred yards in all directions, giving them plenty of time to see anything approaching them and react to potential threats.
Effective Monday, Spokane Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick has banned police officers driving solo from writing their reports in the Arena parking lot in the interests of officer safety.
The shootings of four police officers in Lakewood, coming on the heels of an unrelated deadly shooting of a police officer several weeks ago in Seattle, has prompted the Spokane Police Department to make some changes in the way it does business. "My concern as I'm sure is your concern is that this is probably copycat," Chief Kirkpatrick said to her officers during the morning roll call.
"What I'm asking you to do is do not write police reports in your patrol car. I want you to come to the station or go to Cop Shops or have someone with you to act as some sort of lookout," Kirkpatrick said.
Notice the basis for this is that she believed Clemmons was inspired by an unrelated attack in which a Seattle police officer was killed a few weeks ago. And from that she thinks the likelihood for a copycat killer to strike in Spokane has increased so much so that the precautions they already take, parking in the middle of a huge parking lot so they have a clear view in all directions, are not enough. Now they have to have some sort of a lookout.
The Spokane Police Department's tarnished image is hardly going to improve if officers are in the frame of mind that every member of the public represents a danger to them.
Officers typically spend up to two hours every shift writing reports but if they do that in their cars police can stop filing out their paperwork and respond to calls for service faster. Now they will have to choose between their safety and crime-fighting efficiency and their chief open to suggestions.
I do have a suggestion. Step back and think about it. Don't get paralyzed by a "What if...?" scenario for which the only basis for thinking it will happen here is that it happened somewhere else.

Brewing a better fundraiser
Boba for Missions uses tea to alleviate the steep cost of missions trips.
Photo by Yehju Park/ THE CHIMES
Brittany Ung, Deputy News Editor
(This story was originally published in print on March 14, 2019).
A businessman, a missionary and a tea specialist walk into a fundraiser. This is not the start of a bad joke. Rather, it describes the life of junior business administration major Brendan Sun over the past few months. Through Boba for Missions, a fundraiser he started for student mission trips, Sun combines his love for business, missions and tea.
BOBA BEGINNINGS
Sun says his passion for tea was sparked last summer, when a friend brought him to try a wintermelon oolong tea at EYEfiniTEA, a hybrid eyewear store and tea shop in Morgan Hill, California. Disappointed by the quality of local tea shops, Sun began experimenting with homemade tea. With Youtube as his primary source of information, Sun used trial and error to guide his choices of fresh tea leaves and brewing temperatures.
"I was researching and I ended up buying some tea online and trying different things. My parents probably thought I was kind of crazy," Sun said.
Upon returning to Biola last semester, Sun found that his friend, sophomore cinema and media arts major DJ Schaffer, had also discovered a love for tea over the summer. The two concocted drinks from Sun's dorm room, sharing new recipes with friends and creating a small circle of tea enthusiasts. Schaffer says he sees a divine influence even in something as niche as a shared appreciation for tea.
"I think it was a God thing that we both happened to get into tea over the summer," Schaffer said. "Like, that doesn't just happen, you know. So to come back both of us, and see that develop from 'Wow, we both like tea' to 'We could do something with this.' We can impact not only Biola but also parts of the world."
MILK TEA FOR MISSION TRIPS
In preparation for his mission trip to Ensenada, Mexico through the Student Missionary Union, Sun began accepting donations in exchange for his tea—not yet a full-fledged fundraising initiative, but a forerunner to Boba for Missions.
After the trip to Ensenada, Sun was inspired to empower other Biolans to engage in missions. One trip can cost as much as $4,000, and support letters and Chick-fil-A fundraisers only go so far. According to Schaffer, finances remain the insurmountable barrier for many would-be missionaries.
"That's one of the reasons that I couldn't go [to Germany with SMU last summer], so I think if God could bless in that aspect so we could send out more people, I think that'd just be cool," Schaffer said.
BOBA AS BUSINESS
Sun was inspired to launch Boba for Missions in part by Praxis Academy, an annual conference for business students. The event emphasized redemptive entrepreneurship—"redeeming the world through sacrifice"—which Sun describes as the intersection of his faith and fundraising efforts.
"I love serving people and helping people," Sun said. "Before my thoughts and my opinion on that was like, 'Oh, I have to pick one. I can't do both.' So through Praxis, and then being able to do this Boba for Missions thing, I was like, 'Wow, I can actually integrate business with missions. And still hold true to both of them and do them both well.'"
Now, Boba for Missions fulfills around 10 to 30 orders per night, with Sun and some volunteers working to deliver boba on Wednesdays through Fridays. Sun dedicates around 18 hours per week to the fundraiser, but he says his favorite part of Boba for Missions is being able to spread his passion for missions.
DELIVERIES AND DISCUSSIONS
Sun's original goal was to use boba sales as a bridge to raise awareness and involvement in missions. He realized this goal through his conversations with customers.
"The cool thing is getting people to think that you're not just buying boba, but also getting them to think about missions. And like, what does missions mean to you? And what does it mean to us as Christians?" Sun said.
Sun's friend and sophomore sociology and Spanish major Liz Beth Herrera was an early supporter of Boba for Missions. She says the fundraiser was uniquely successful due to Sun's vision of boba as a conversation starter, not just a sale.
"When he would deliver, he would just be like, 'How are you? How was your day?' And that's something that sometimes you don't get. It's good to have someone who cares and stuff," Herrera said. "It's not just about the drink but it also more about who's buying the drink and kind of wanting to get to know the customer behind it. Or getting to memorize their orders because he just knows them so well."
According to Sun, Boba for Missions gives students an opportunity to live missionally even before stepping off Biola's campus.
"Yeah, I'm at Biola and it's a Christian university, but knowing that the things that I do, my day to day is that it's actually a mission," Sun said. "It's fulfilling God's plan for the world, which is to restore and to redeem us. And me, by me living faithfully and obedient, I'm also fulfilling God's task of mission, on a daily basis."

Chain Reaction: The Interlinked Nature of Logistics Systems
Lynn Robbins
Stuart Rosenberg
What surprises students new to the topic of the supply chain process is the effect that each player has on the other when bringing a product to market. But what surprises professor Stuart Rosenberg is that often people familiar with the field haven't considered these effects either.
Rosenberg will lead a SCORE-Princeton workshop on Monday, August 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Princeton Public Library titled "Small Business Supply Chain Strategies." The free, interactive session will provide expertise and support for participants looking to solve real business challenges. Register at princeton.score.org or call 609-393-0505.
The workshop will cover traditional supply chain disciplines: inventory management; demand planning; warehouse operations; transportation and logistics; procurement; manufacturing and service operations; and customer service, plus the indirect disciplines: accounting or finance; human resources; and sales and marketing. It will cover third-party logistics, product sourcing, inventory management, local supply chains, and building a global supply chain.
Based on 20-plus years of work in the field, Rosenberg shares several of his insights here and in articles he has written that are now available on LinkedIn:
Current and future trends: Think Digital: Managers must be savvy about current trends that are increasingly impacting supply chain activities including automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, 3D printing, block chain, bit coins, and the internet of things (IOT).
The global business culture: Build a global supply chain and prepare for the inevitability of disruptions. He refers to the five "Ps" that can disrupt one's supply chain: powerful weather, pandemics, political instability, port closures, and primary sourcing.
Using Hurricane Sandy as an example, he reminds us that hospitals were shuttered because of power outages, and workers had problems getting to their jobs because gas stations were running out of gas.
Because disruptions will happen, Rosenberg says that companies must think and act in terms of supply chain resiliency. He recommends that you have access to alternative suppliers in locations that are detached from your primary supplier's facility.
His must-do list for resiliency includes "sound business methods and investments, a robust global network to ensure flexibility, analysis of past disruptions to reinforce contingency planning, and detailed disaster preparedness."
Quality Control: A crisis can occur at any step in the supply chain process from design to raw materials to production or transportation.
Poor quality, unsafe working conditions, or non-compliance with regulations will lead to business disruption, financial loss, lawsuits, and damage to the brand's image, says Rosenberg. These breakdowns can cause consumer dissatisfaction, regulatory issues, and public criticism.
The good news, he says, is that some vendors are meeting these challenges with stricter client quality standards set forth by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the American Society for Quality (ASQ).
Inventory Management: Rosenberg stresses the importance of communicating inventory needs to all departments within the company and to keep abreast of new technology that supports collaboration in forecasting and inventory planning. Poor inventory management — not having items available when customers need them or paying for storage of over stocked items — can lead to expenses and loss of sales and customers.
Managing for the right sizing of inventory requires attention and sustainability, says Rosenberg, but the outcomes — improved customer service, reduced costs, increased sales, and more profitability — are worth the endeavor.
The last mile: A new meaning to the phrase: "last but not least":
The is a relatively small segment of the supply chain, but it is growing in importance. Known as "last milers," they are the people who drive trucks in the last miles of delivery to retailers, mom-and-pop operations, supermarkets, or consumers' residences. We need to re-think the value of these last milers, says Rosenberg, who considers them as potential route managers, merchandisers, and salespeople. In the age of e-commerce the last miler has become a key partner in the retail landscape.
Rosenberg is the president of First Choice Supply Chain, a full range supply chain consulting and service firm. He is known for helping companies find solutions in challenging environments. He has held leadership and director positions with several worldwide corporations including Johnson & Johnson, Cadbury, Reckitt Benckiser and Linde Gas. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting at City University of New York.
In addition to running his business, he teaches supply chain management as an adjunct professor at Union County College and Hudson Community College. He is also an advisory board member for the Rutgers University Center for Innovative Education.
Rosenberg is a syndicated writer and author of the book "The Global Supply Chain and Risk Management." Among several topics, he summarizes several historical periods that have affected business operations from the post-war years, the late 1940s and early '50s; up to and including the relentless outsourcing years, the mid-'70s to 2014. He is currently writing a book that focuses on future trends in the field.
He appeared on Princeton Community Television's "Secrets to College Planning" this past June where he spoke about the requirements, opportunities, and challenges in the supply chain field. He and SCORE-Princeton chair Amulya Garga are developing a workshop on this topic.
He traces his interest in manufacturing and the supply chain process back to his childhood. His father worked for Nabisco Cookies starting as a salesman and working his way up to being a regional manager. During school breaks young Rosenberg would go to work with his dad and witness the manufacturing process first-hand. As a kid who loved cookies, his day with Dad at the plant was a happy adventure.
Rosenberg's advice for business owners or supply chain managers is to keep up with the changing nature of the field, especially digital solutions and globalization. Work collaboratively with all the departments within your company and with the people on the outside who make up your supply chain.

Boeing to build military aircraft drones in Australian city
September 23, 2021 By The Associated Press
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Chicago-based aerospace giant Boeing has announced plans to build a new type of drone military aircraft in Australia.
Boeing said Wednesday it has selected Toowoomba city in Queensland state as the final assembly point for its unmanned Loyal Wingman planes. The first test flights were completed earlier this year.
The announcement comes less than a week after the U.S., Britain and Australia announced a new security alliance that will supply Australia with nuclear-powered submarines. The deal was condemned by China and has heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
Scott Carpendale, managing director of Boeing Defence Australia, said development of the new aircraft is going to plan. He said it uses artificial intelligence to operate in tandem with manned aircraft and was conceived, designed and developed in Australia.
It's the first military combat aircraft to be designed and manufactured in Australia in half a century. Boeing Australia is currently developing six of the aircraft in partnership with the Royal Australian Air Force.
Carpendale said no orders have been confirmed but the Australian government seems confident and happy about the Loyal Wingman's capabilities.
"There's a significant interest from other countries," Carpendale added.
He said the drone will be built in a facility at Wellcamp Airport, which is owned by Wagner Corp.
Wagner chairman John Wagner said he hopes a defense and aerospace precinct at the airport will attract more companies in similar fields.
The project is expected to create 300 jobs during construction of the facility and 70 ongoing operational and production positions.
Queensland State Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the announcement was "fantastic news" and represents the first time Boeing has set up a facility of its type outside North America.

Round And Brown Reality Kings
Reality Kings is a high-production, hardcore porn website. The website has an 18-year backlog of videos and a diverse cast of performers. What is the site exactly? Why do people keep returning to it? Let's take another look.
Reality Kings is a porn site that's hardcore.
The main feature of Reality Kings is its wide variety of pornstars. There are many videos featuring hot pornstars in extreme scenes. It has a large membership base and offers constant updates. The website also features some of the hottest lesbian scenes online.
The site features over 600 scenes and is updated daily. Although the site's majority of content is created by amateurs, there are also big names from the hardcore porn world. Some of the most prominent stars on the site include Angela White, Abella Danger, and Mia Khalifa. Other stars include Asian, Latina, and European beauties.
This site features hardcore porn videos by various production companies. You can also find monstercock porn and cumshots on this website. You will also find a lot of videos from different decades on the website. Some videos can be very graphic and are high-resolution. This website is great for porn fans who are looking for hardcore.
It has a 18-year-old backlog of videos
The backlog is incredibly large, with nearly 11,600 scenes. Reality Kings adds new videos every day, despite this. Although this backlog may seem overwhelming, it's also very diverse. The site features porn stars from all over the globe, including those who are not well-represented in the porn world. As a result, the site's content has never been boring and its backlog is always growing.
Reality Kings is an extremely unique website. There are thousands of videos from different genres on the site. You can find everything from fantasy scenes to gonzo scenes to Dom/sub play. Although most of these videos are very hardcore, there is something for everyone.
Reality Kings has a diverse cast of performers, including a number of women of color. Unlike many other reality porn sites, this one does not pigeonhole women of color into stereotypical or fetishizing roles. The series' ratings have increased 23% in the most recent season compared to the previous season. It also showcases an array of lesbian scenes that were shot with a male gaze.
While the show started out with relatively unknown porn performers from Florida, the site has since expanded and added major names to its cast. The diverse cast of performers on Reality Kings is a reflection of the site's growing audience. The site features a mix of sexy scenes, including group sex, gonzo scenes, and Dom/sub play. While some of these may not be rated for adults, it's still an excellent resource for those who enjoy porn for adults.
Reality Kings is a top-rated porn site that features a strong cast and high production value. The site features an extensive roster of experienced and new performers and is frequently updated. Many of the scenes are made with a reality-themed focus and are produced by renowned directors. There are many topics covered, including street pickups, car accidents and cheating husbands.
Over the years, Reality Kings' logo has seen many changes. In addition to a crown, the logo usually consists of the name itself. Other times, it is the name resting on a crown. It is easy to identify Reality Kings by this logo. It is also worth mentioning that the network company merged with Mindgeek in April 2014, which has resulted in newer and better-quality models.
It has a premium membership service
The oldest site on Reality Kings is Wives in Pantyhose. This site is full of sexy girls in pantyhose, and has been around for years. These videos are old and the most recent ones date back to 2005. The highest resolution you can watch on the site is 480p.
Reality Kings was originally a network that featured amateur porn stars and undiscovered actors. However, the network has grown to include 1000's of top performers. These include mainstream stars like Riley Reid, Lena Paul, and up-and-coming cuties such as Madison Ivy. Premium memberships give members access to thousands more girls and offer premium access to both the mainstream stars and up-and-coming cuties like Riley Reid.

Die Deutsche Botschaft Islamabad ist die diplomatische Vertretung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in der Islamischen Republik Pakistan. Seit 2019 wird die Botschaft von Alfred Grannas als außerordentlichem und bevollmächtigtem Botschafter geleitet.

Lage und Gebäude
Die Botschaft befindet sich im Diplomatenviertel der pakistanischen Hauptstadt Islamabad Ramna 5. Die Vertretungen von Australien, Spanien und Nigeria sind direkte Nachbarn. Die Straßenadresse lautet: Isfahani Rd, Ramna 5 Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan.

Das Botschaftsviertel liegt nördlich des Rawal Sees im Norden der Stadt. Das 2 km südlich gelegene Außenministerium ist in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Zum rund 36 km westlich gelegenen internationalen Flughafen (Benazir Bhutto Airport, auch Islamabad International Airport) dauert die Fahrt auf dem Srinagar Highway (N5) in der Regel rund 40 Minuten. Zur südlich am Indischen Ozean gelegenen Hafenstadt und Metropole Karatschi beträgt die Entfernung rund 1400 km.

Auf dem Gelände der Botschaft befinden sich alle Räumlichkeiten der Vertretung einschließlich der Residenz des Botschafters. Das zweigeschossige Bürogebäude der Kanzlei der Botschaft Islamabad sollte in den Jahren 2014 bis 2016 erneuert werden. Nach Umplanungen wurde das Gewerk im Jahr 2019 neu ausgeschrieben, Dabei wurde ganz auf die Erstellung des Gebäudes in modularer Bauweise abgestellt. Den Auftrag für die Erstellung von insgesamt vier neuen Botschaftsgebäuden mit einer Gesamtfläche von ca. 3200 m² auf dem Gelände der Deutschen Botschaft in Islamabad/Pakistan erhielt die Firma ADK Modulraum aus Neresheim. Insgesamt 108 Module werden auf dem See- und Landweg über Karatschi vorgefertigt geliefert.

Für die Kunst am Bau fand im Jahr 2018 ein Wettbewerb statt, aus dem für die Empfangshalle der Kanzlei das Kunstwerk "Kaleidoskop" der Münchner Corbinian Böhm und Michael Gruber sowie für den Innenhof der Residenz "Landscapediplomacy" von Thomas Stricker, Düsseldorf, ausgewählt wurden.

Am 12. Juni 2022 wurde das Richtfest für den Kanzlei-Neubau gefeiert. Der Erweiterungsneubau des Visagebäudes und das neue Technikgebäude für die Deutsche Botschaft wurden bereits im Februar 2022 übergeben. Das Gesamtprojekt soll im Herbst 2024 fertig sein.

Auftrag und Organisation
Die Deutsche Botschaft Islamabad hat den Auftrag, die deutsch-pakistanischen Beziehungen zu pflegen, die deutschen Interessen gegenüber der Regierung von Pakistan zu vertreten und die Bundesregierung über Entwicklungen in Pakistan zu unterrichten.

In der Botschaft werden die Sachgebiete Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Bildung bearbeitet.

Das Referat für Rechts- und Konsularangelegenheiten der Botschaft betreut den Konsularbezirk Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas), Gilgit-Baltistan, AJK (Azad Jammu und Kashmir, pakistanisch verwalteter Teil von Kaschmir). Es bietet konsularische Dienstleistungen für im Land ansässige deutsche Staatsangehörige an. Die Visastelle des Referats stellt Visa für pakistanische Staatsangehörige aus. Für dringende konsularische Notfälle außerhalb der Dienstzeiten besteht eine telefonische Rufbereitschaft.

In Karatschi besteht ein Generalkonsulat der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, dessen Amtsbezirk die Landesteile umfasst, die nicht von der Botschaft abgedeckt werden. In Lahore ist ein Honorarkonsul bestellt und ansässig.

Geschichte
Pakistan wurde am 14. August 1947 vom Vereinigten Königreich unabhängig. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland eröffnete am 14. Mai 1952 eine Botschaft in Karatschi, die am 14. Januar 1966 nach Rawalpindi und schließlich am 13. November 1972 nach Islamabad verlegt wurde.

Die DDR und Pakistan nahmen am 15. November 1972 diplomatische Beziehungen auf und tauschten Botschafter aus. Die Botschaft der DDR in Dhaka wurde 1990 mit Beitritt der DDR zur Bundesrepublik Deutschland geschlossen.

Detectives want to speak to Michael Haigh, from the Rainford area, over suspected hit-and-run in Norris Green
Rob Pattinson
Michael Haigh 25, from the Rainford area, who police want to trace in connection with the death of dad-of-two Ryan Kennedy, who was killed in a suspected hit and run in Norris Green.
Police are appealing for help in tracing a man they want to speak to in connection with the death of a dad-of-two killed in a suspected hit and run in Norris Green.
Ryan Kennedy, 25, died on Saturday after being mown down by a 4x4 before the driver sped away.
Detectives today said they believe 25-year-old Michael Haigh, from the Rainford area, can assist them with their enquiries and are urging him, or anyone who knows of his whereabouts, to get in touch with the force.
Police want to trace a grey/silver Grand Cherokee Jeep similar to this one, with a registration beginning LF52, in connection with the death of dad-of-two Ryan Kennedy, who was killed in a suspected hit and run in Norris Green.
They are also trying to trace a grey/silver Grand Cherokee Jeep with a registration that begins LF52 that detectives said would be showing visible damage to its front.
Mr Haigh is described as being white, 6ft 2 ins tall of a medium build with short brown hair and brown eyes.
He is known to visit the North Liverpool, St Helens and Rainford areas.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy O'Connor said: "We are keen to trace Mr Haigh as we believe he may be able to assist with our enquiries.
"I would also re-appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone who may have seen the vehicle similar to the one pictured, a grey/silver Grand Cherokee Jeep with a registration beginning LF52, being driven around, parked up or abandoned to get in touch.
"The vehicle would have sustained damage to its front following the incident and should be easily recognisable.
"Information regarding the whereabouts of Mr Haigh or the vehicle could be crucial for our investigation into this matter."
A post-mortem examination has now been conducted which found Mr Kennedy died as a result of multiple injuries.

Meanwhile two men arrested in connection with the incident have now been bailed.
They include a 23-year-old man, from the Aigburth area, arrested on suspicion of Mr Kennedy's murder and a 30-year-old man, from Aintree, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Merseyside Police confirmed both men were bailed pending further enquiries.
Detectives earlier said they were investigating whether the victim and the driver "had an altercation prior to the collision" and whether the 4x4 was driven at him on purpose.
Mr Kennedy's brother had earlier issued a plea to help catch his brother's killers, saying he was "taken away from his two beautiful children."
He was rushed to hospital after the incident in Gable View, off Townsend Avenue, at around 2.15pm on Saturday.
Officers are asking Mr Haigh, or anyone who knows of his whereabouts, to contact Merseyside Police on 0151 777 4065 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
