MAFS' Benjamin Jardine calls Ines Basic 'naughty' as he talks their 'rendezvous'
Get a daily dose of showbiz gossip straight to your inbox with the Daily Star's FREE newsletter
Benjamin Jardine has had a whirlwind of a reality TV career, with Married at First Sight mayhem and Celebrity Big Brother chaos.
But nowadays the reality star spends his time in the boxing ring, gearing up for his next big pro fight, and enjoying time with his young daughter.
With whispers about the new series of MAFS coming back to the UK, Daily Star caught up with Benjamin to see what he's up to now and to find out if he's going to be tuning in to the next series.
When asked if he's going to watch the new series, which will apparently be more aligned to Love Island than previous seasons, Ben said he will 100% will be.
Benjamin began: "Absolutely, I definitely will. When I went on my series, I had just split up from a 13-year relationship. I got shown in a bad light but a lot of things went on behind the scenes. I can relate to the show, so I will be watching it."
He then went on to explain how he also enjoyed watching MAFS Australia, along with the cast of the show.
The reality star added: "That Ines was DMing me a lot off the back of that which was mental.
"She's a naughty, naughty girl. I swear my inbox was popping right off.
"I'm a bit of a Jack the lad, you know that, and we both had something in common straight away and she was like 'how did you find this? how did you find that?'
"I think she was trying to confide in me a bit, then, yeah, we might have had a little rendezvous. I'm being a bit naughty but all I'm saying is it's hard during a pandemic but things can happen can't they."
When asked if he still keeps in touch with the Ines, Ben said they still do every now and then.
He said: "We still have a little chat. I'm a gentleman but I'm concentrating on my little girl Sienna right now."
The boxer was also very keen to share just how much his daughter means to him, who he shares with Silvia Sanchis, who split with him during his CBB stint over his onscreen antics with Roxanne Pallett.
Benjamin added: "I don't want my daughter to look back and think I'm a lothario because I'm just a nice person really. I've done a lot to get my daughter in my life and I just don't want to let her down."
The celeb loves to share moments on his social media and his Instagram, @benjaminjardine_ profile is no exception.
Looking down his grid, alongside boxing updates you can also see snippets of his past and present acting career too.
The performer is currently working on some exciting new projects including two upcoming films.
Alongside this, he is also training hard ahead of his fight with Love Island's Jack Fincham, who he said "has it coming to him".
Talking about his fight with Dani Dyer's ex, he explained that the sparring match will take place in the final months of 2021.
He added: "He's been calling out little things here and there and he nicked one of my best mate's blimming birds didn't he, so he's got it coming to him if I'm completely honest."

When sustainable artist Jeff Soderbergh, of Jeff Soderbergh Custom Sustainable Furnishings, was approached by Jamie Reardon, owner of Supply New England, to provide a dramatic ceiling element for their flagship showroom project with Kohler on the waterfront, he urged them to consider "what they wanted in their hearts." Once he saw the space and discussed initial concepts, he set to sketching, dreaming up the Kohler Wave, a hanging sculpture that uses reclaimed wood salvaged from a nearby pier from the early 1800s invoking the movement of water.
Director of Showrooms Sabrina DaLomba and the team at Supply New England were sold in one sketch. DaLomba first learned of Soderbergh, who has a Newport studio and a warehouse full of historical, reclaimed materials that he crafts into art, furniture and flooring, from a friend. The referral came at the exact time she needed an artist who does expressly what he does. "It's like it fell out of the sky," she says, with wonder in her voice. Once she learned that they could "drill down regionally, not only to Boston, but to the harbor" for the materials, it was a lock.
"We kept the gray side down," says Soderbergh. "As you walk underneath it, the gray part faces you, while the rest of the wood is all milled and beautiful and bright," juxtaposing shadow and shine.
Building the Kohler Wave was a challenge, but Soderbergh learned years ago to say yes to things he hasn't done. With 405 pieces in total, and at 32x12 feet, the work would have to be modular in order to get it in the door. A cradle was designed to allow the work to be assembled within it and lifted from the cradle rather than the sculpture. Artisan Building Group installed Soderbergh's vision, with the full team hoisting the Kohler Wave high, "like Olympic rowers," says Soderbergh.
Supply New England was so enamored with Soderbergh's work that they commissioned Array, a second sculpture for the showroom. The radiant work is comprised of ballast stone dredged from Boston Harbor, and serves as a rugged, organic backdrop to a chic, freestanding Kohler tub with a ceiling filler that sends a steady stream of water from above.

Дельвин Шанель Н'Динга (; 14 марта 1988, Пуэнт-Нуар, Республика Конго) — конголезский футболист, полузащитник сборной Республики Конго.

Клубная карьера

Н'Динга — воспитанник клуба «Осер». С 2005 года он выступал за дублирующую команду. 1 марта 2009 года в матче против «Тулузы» Дельвин дебютировал в Лиге 1. 21 ноября в поединке против «Монако» Н'Динга забил свой первый гол за команду. В 2012 году Дельвин перешёл в «Монако», который по итогам сезона вылетел в Лигу 2. 3 августа в матче против «Лаваля» он дебютировал за «монегасков». По итогам сезона Н'Динга помог команде вернуться в элиту. Из-за серьёзного укрепления в межсезонье Дельвин был отдан в аренду в греческий «Олимпиакос». 22 сентября в матче против «Панатинаикоса» он дебютировал в греческой Суперлиге. В первом же сезоне Н'Динга стал чемпионом Греции. По окончании аренды руководство клуба из Пирея выкупило трансфер Дельвина. В 2015 году Н'Динга вновь стал чемпионом и завоевал Кубок Греции.

Летом того же года Дельвин перешёл в московский «Локомотив» на правах аренды с правом выкупа. 27 июля в матче против «Анжи» он дебютировал в РФПЛ, заменив во втором тайме Тараса Михалика. 11 мая 2016 года было сообщено, что руководство «Локомотива» выкупило права на игрока. Летом 2017 Н'Дингой начали интересоваться два турецких клуба Галатасарай и Сивасспор. Однако отмечается что Дельвин очень хотел остаться в Локомотиве, но из-за конфликта с главным тренером Сёминым был вынужден уйти.

Летом 2017 года Н'Динга перешёл в турецкий «Сивасспор», подписав контракт на два года. 17 сентября в матче против «Османлыспора» он дебютировал в турецкой Суперлиге. 4 февраля 2018 года в поединке против «Галатасарая» Дельвин забил свой первый гол за «Сивасспор».

The B-25 in the Backyard: My Father's Historic Airplane Sanctuary
Wally Soplata
Only in America could Walter A. Soplata, the son of penniless Czech immigrants, accomplish so much single-handedly saving historic aircraft from World War II and other periods. After a childhood spent building model airplanes while dreaming about having his own airfield, Soplata worked in a large scrapyard taking apart hundreds of warplane engines. Shocked to see a rare engine or sometimes a complete warplane on its way to the recycling furnace, he began collecting whatever he could find and afford. He eventually collected nearly 20 complete airplanes and countless pieces of others. One of his Corsair fighters included the experimental F2G Corsair #74 that won the Cleveland National Air Races in 1947. Among other priceless airplanes he rescued was an experimental XP-82 Twin Mustang, an F-82E Twin Mustang, an X-prototype Skyraider, a stainless steel BT-12, and an F7U Cutlass—Soplata hauled the Cutlass fuselage home by stuffing it inside a junked school bus for its 600-mile journey. The story of a workaholic father and his aviation-obsessed son, this book records the accomplishments of a rare bird, just like the many airplanes he saved.

Houston Methodist researchers have found that a particular class of white blood cells, called T helper cells, overstimulate the production of a sticky protein, mucin, which cloggs up the airways. Mucin protects the surface of the airways, but excessive secretion of mucin, as seen in asthma, is damaging. Now that scientists have resolved the molecular mechanism of T helper cell activation and mucin secretion, new drugs for asthma may be developed that are completely different from the steroids that are being used today.


KABUL (Reuters) - A former ally of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani who was one of the Western-backed government's most influential security officials before resigning unexpectedly this year, has announced he plans to run in next year's presidential election.
Campaigning has also been complicated by efforts to start a peace process with the Taliban, who have ruled out talking with Ghani's government, which they consider an illegitimate foreign-imposed regime.
Announcing his candidacy in an interview with Tolo News television late on Wednesday, Atmar said he would welcome talks with the Taliban, on condition that fundamentals of the constitution, including human and women's rights, were unchanged.
"We welcome their return to the system for permanent and stable peace, but a Taliban regime is not acceptable," he said.
He stepped down from his position in late August, citing serious differences over the president's approach to the peace process.

Lorraine: The Girl Who Sang the Storm Away by Ketch Secor
New - Sold Out
Recommended for ages 4-8 years, but uplifting for all. Lorraine and her Pa Paw are rural African American hill folk as revealed in the luminous illustrations by African American artist, Higgins Bond, the winner of the Ashley Bryan Award. When Pa Paw's harmonica and Lorraine's pennywhistle disappear, they raise their voices in song that covers their disappointment, but then a seemingly destructive event ends up returning their instruments to them in a testament to silver linings. The author, Ketch Secor, is a white man and the founder of the Old Crow Medicine Show. "This not-to-be-missed story appeals to the ear as much as it does to the eye as Lorraine shows readers that music can make any situation more enjoyable." - Kirkus Reviews. "Musician Secor deftly mines his songwriting talent in this paean to music and family bonds... Bond captures the narrative's melody and changeable moods in luminous paintings featuring precisely rendered feathers, blades of grass, and emotive facial expressions." - Publishers Weekly. "[A] bouncy tribute to Southern folkways and intergenerational relationships." - School Library Journal. "This musical, folkloric story is a delightful read-aloud." – Booklist.
Napierville, Illinois: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, a 2021 paperback release of a 2018 hardback release. A 32-page picture book illustrated by Higgins Bond. 9.5" X 10.5" trade paperback.


When you are using a pattern, there are many markings on the pattern that need to be transferred to the fabric to obtain accurate results when you sew that fabric.
Dots: these are dots that mark locations for matching parts of the garment or item to each other, such as seam intersections, pockets, darts, collars and more.
Darts: markings for darts are straight lines and dots. Matching them in the process of folding the dart is essential to making an accurate dart.
Buttonholes & Button Placement: transferring the pattern markings for these items ensures that they will be evenly placed on the garment.
Other Items to Transfer: it is impossible to list all of the markings that you may want to transfer. The things to keep in mind are the markings that will line up other pieces of the fabric, things that create folds, tucks or pleats and things that will show you the placement for add-ons such as buttons.
There are many types of fabric marking tools available. The tool you use will be a matter of preference in most cases.
Dressmaker's Carbon is available in non-wax, wax and vanishing forms. They are all a sheet for transferring material.
Tracing Wheels are available in a variety of forms. Wheels are smooth or spiked. Some have extra features such as a smooth area for pressure marking.
Vanishing Tools: these are wonderful if you can sit and finish your garment. If you tend to "stop and go" your sewing projects, the markings may be gone before you are ready for that marking.
Always test the chosen marking materials on scraps before you cut out the fabric. Test that they will not show through to the right side of the fabric and that the markings are removable. The photos in this article are using a high contrast marking color for visibility. You would use a color that is close to the fabric color but visible. Read the package directions for more information.
Leave the pattern pinned to the fabric.
Fold the carbon paper in half so that it is long enough to mark the intended area.
For lines, use a straight edge such as a gauge or ruler. Line the straight edge up with the line. Run the wheel along the straight edge. Check that the markings are on all layers of the fabric.
For dots, find the center of the markings. Make an X through the center of the dot.
Place a straight pin straight through the dot on the pattern piece.
Mark the fabric with the chalk where the pin is in the fabric.

Thirteen high school students in northeast North Dakota have been selected as Presidential Scholar candidates, North Dakota School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler has announced.
They are among 70 North Dakota high school students who have been chosen as potential Presidential Scholars, one of the most prestigious honors for students, Baesler said.
Representing 29 public schools and four private schools in North Dakota, they were chosen based on exceptional performance on the ACT or SAT college entrance exams.
Grand Forks Central High School students who were named for the honor are: Adrian Cummings, who is one of three North Dakota high school students named in the career and technical education category, Aysia Dukes and Kacy Jiran.
Grand Forks Red River High School students are: Jackson Holm, Isabel Krogh, Nathan Peasland, Samuel Schumacher, Francine Shaft and Sydney Warcup.
Other area students are: Griggs County Central High School, Cooperstown, Joelle Sherlock; Clifford-Galesburg High School, Mayville-Portland, Benjamin Berdal; Park River High School, Jacob Ham, and Walhalla High School, Suzanne Wieler.
These students are eligible to apply to be considered for the next level of competition, as semi-finalists in the Presidential Scholars program.
This week, Red River High School hosts the annual Myra Jazz Festival, a two-day event which draws middle and high school students from the area.
The festival, funded by a grant from the Myra Foundation, will feature guest clinicians Rex Richardson and Dean Sorenson.
The Myra Jazz Band will perform in concert at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Red River High School's Performance Hall.
The free concert will feature performances by the clinicians and jazz musicians of the area.
Richardson, a Yamaha performing artist and teacher at Virginia Commonwealth University, has recorded many solo albums and has performed with numerous ensembles including Rhythm and Brass, Joe Henderson's Quintet and Sextet, and the Band of Battle Creek.
Sorenson, director of jazz studies at the University of Minnesota, is a Yamaha performing artist and co-author of the "Standard of Excellence Jazz Ensemble Method."
In other news, members of an East Grand Forks Green Wave Robotics Team won first place at the recent VEX IQ tournament in Sauk Rapids, Minn.
With this win, Shelby Bruggerman, Brandon Perell and Zach Gemar, all seventh-graders, earned the right to compete at the state tournament next month in St. Cloud, Minn., said Jared Sanger, industrial technology teacher at the East Grand Forks Senior High School.
The team, which also won the Sportsmanship award at the tournament, competed against 32 teams of fourth- through eighth-graders from throughout Minnesota, Sanger said.
Other East Grand Forks students whose teams qualified for the VEX IQ state tournament are: Brady Loer, Sean Murphy, Jared Vetterkind, Riley Nelson, Jeb Haaven-Farstad, Wyatt Sanders, Tanner Nowacki, Taylor Franzwa, Braylon Anderson and Dalton Casmey.
A benefit breakfast for Jacob Records, a fifth-grader who is battling cancer, is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at Riverside Christian School, 610 Second Ave. N.E., East Grand Forks.

Sean Quinn condemns 'barbaric' attack on Quinn executive
Kevin Lunney suffered life-changing injuries when he was abducted and beaten by a masked gang.
Sean Quinn (Brian Lawless/PA)
By Aine McMahon PA
September 19 2019 11:02 AM
Businessman Sean Quinn has said attacks being carried out on Quinn executives are not being carried out in his name and are damaging to his family.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/sean-quinn-condemns-barbaric-attack-on-quinn-executive-38513945.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/incoming/65e16/38513942.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_72c2c55d-1f08-4be2-97a2-f4e3f30558a6_1
A senior director in the companies once owned by Mr Quinn sustained life-changing injuries when he was abducted and beaten by a masked gang.
Father-of-six Kevin Lunney was attacked as he arrived at his home in Derrylin, Co Fermanagh, at around 6.40pm on Tuesday.
Kevin Lunney (Quinn Industrial Holdings/PA)
Mr Lunney, a director at Quinn Industrial Holdings, was driven away before being subjected to a "severe and savage" beating at an unknown location, Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Superintendent Clive Beatty said.
Mr Quinn, who was once Ireland's richest man, formerly owned the companies now known as Quinn Industrial Holdings. His empire collapsed in 2012 and he lost control of his portfolio of businesses. He was later employed as a consultant at his former companies but left that role in 2016.
Tuesday's attack, during which Mr Lunney was reportedly tortured, was the latest in a series targeting Quinn Industrial Holdings and its directors.
A sinister element in the community in the Fermanagh/Cavan border area continues to vent anger at the demise of Mr Quinn's empire. Paramilitary involvement is suspected.
The Quinn family has consistently condemned and distanced itself from those attacking the new owners.
On Thursday Mr Quinn said: "As far as I am concerned, I have moved on and am involved in other things. We don't want to be labelled with this. This is the last thing we want.
My view is that you wouldn't do that to a dog. That is not natural and it doesn't make any sense to me Sean Quinn
"The people doing this are not doing this for the Quinns because they should know this is going to damage the Quinns.
"My view is that you wouldn't do that to a dog. That is not natural and it doesn't make any sense to me."
Quinn Industrial Holdings said Mr Lunney's car and another vehicle were found ablaze in a road near his family home shortly before 7pm on Tuesday.
"Mr Lunney sustained a broken leg and a range of other very severe, but non-life threatening, injuries for which he is being treated in a nearby hospital," a spokesman said.
Mr Quinn told Northern Sound radio station: "That man has a wife and kids, so of course I would condemn it totally.
"My reaction would be the same as anyone else's. It would be a sense of outrage.
"It would appear to me to be a fairly barbaric attack. Of course any proper individual and anybody with any sense of any morals would of course condemn that."
He said he has repeatedly condemned the attacks on Quinn executives and that he and his family have no involvement with them.
PSNI Superintendent Clive Beatty (Liam McBurney/PA)
"My family have been on to me and they are outraged as well. They have said we're going to take the flak for this and we are being blamed for this and that some people will look our direction at it," he said.
"It is a pity people are coming back to me all the time and asking me to condemn this… with all of these incidents… of course I condemn them.
"I am disappointed that people are always coming back to me and asking me about this because, since I left there and was sacked from there, the current executives and directors have issued legal proceeding against former directors, managers, staff, neighbours and friends. There is an awful of conflict down there.
"It is not me. I haven't been involved in those businesses for three and a half years.

Northern short grasslands
The Northern short grasslands is one of 867 terrestrial ecoregions defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. This ecoregion includes parts of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the American Great Plains states of Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) further breaks this ecoregion into the Northwestern Glaciated Plains and Northwestern Great Plains.

The Northern short grasslands have a semi-arid climate, with annual average precipitation ranging from 270mm to 450mm[citation needed]. Winters here are cold, with a mean winter temperature of −10 °C (14 °F), but chinook winds, most common in the western part of the region, closest to the Rocky Mountains, ameliorate the cold temporarily when they pass over. Summers range from warm to hot, with a mean temperature of 16 °C (61 °F).
FloraEdit
Dominant grasses include blue grama, needlegrass and spear grass. Big sagebrush is common in the southwest of the region, but almost non-existent in the north, northeast and east, where silver sagebrush is very common. Prickly pear and yellow cactus can be found in drier areas, especially in the badlands areas that can be found across the ecoregion. In the wettest areas, along water bodies, plains cottonwood, trembling aspen, willows and other trees can be found, along with various aquatic plants.

FaunaEdit
The Northern Short Grasslands were once home to vast herds of bison, and some can still be found in places such as Grasslands National Park in southwestern Saskatchewan, and on private ranches. Pronghorn can be found in great numbers in much of the region, benefiting greatly from conservation measures. Mule deer are very common, and white-tailed deer somewhat less so. Despite various intense pest control measures, immense colonies of Richardson's ground squirrels still remain, though the black-tailed prairie dog is much less common than before European settlement. The steppe here was once home to elk and grizzly bears, but these species have been extirpated from the plains.

Description: An afternoon Laminu workshop at our regular venue in Chiswick. The workshop will be followed by a buffet and social dancing, both included in the price.
Laminu is a swing dance that's done to very slow tempo music. Some people describe it as slow Balboa but it's really more than just that. It has its own particular quality of movement and structure that lend it a style and feeling all of its own. You can see a video here. Learning Laminu will also help improve your Balboa because it requires a sophisticated connection and good lead and follow skills.
The workshop will be at beginner/improver level. You do not need to have done any Laminu before but it will help if you have some experience in Balboa - in particular, you should ideally be familiar with the basic 'inwards' connection in Pure Balboa/Laminu.
You need to book and pay in advance for this workshop. Numbers are strictly limited so please book soon to avoid disappointment. Please email us to book your place and we will then send you the necessary payment details. You do not need to book with a partner - places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis whilst maintaining a good lead/follow ratio. Please also let us know of any dietary requirements when booking.

Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840 and died December 5, 1926. Claude Monet was born on the 5th floor of 45 Rue Laffitte (the name of the street) in Paris. This wonderful artist was baptized in Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, the local parish church. Monet was baptized as Oscar-Claude, but his parents called him simply Oscar. Strange that we all call him Claude. Claude Monet was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubrée Monet. His parents were second-generation Parisians. Monet wanted to become an artist, but his father wanted him to go into the family grocery business. On April 1, 1851, Monet entered Le Havre secondary school of the arts. While attending Le Havre secondary school of the arts, the locals knew Monet well for his charcoal caricatures. On January 28, 1857, when Monet was only sixteen, his mother died.

Do you have a valid doctype?

A: You can read about vertical-align, and how it works here.
As commented by animuson, here is how you should use inline elements and vertical-align.
Essentially, you need to vertically align both inline elements, and you did it on one only.
You should also try to keep line-height properties on blocks that contain text.
Here's a JSFiddle example - I also included some proof that it is in fact centered
CSS
#information-list li {
    padding: 0 10px;

W3C will give us a bit of insight.
www.w3.org - line-height:

On a block container element whose content is composed of inline-level elements, 'line-height' specifies the minimal height of line boxes within the element.
The minimum height consists of a minimum height above the baseline and a minimum depth below it, exactly as if each line box starts with a zero-width inline box with the element's font and line height properties. We call that imaginary box a "strut." (The name is inspired by TeX.).
The height and depth of the font above and below the baseline are assumed to be metrics that are contained in the font. (For more details, see CSS level 3.)
On a non-replaced inline element, 'line-height' specifies the height that is used in the calculation of the line box height.

www.w3.org - vertical-align:

This property affects the vertical positioning inside a line box of the boxes generated by an inline-level element.
Note. Values of this property have different meanings in the context of tables. Please consult the section on table height algorithms for details.
The following values only have meaning with respect to a parent inline element, or to the strut of a parent block container element.
In the following definitions, for inline non-replaced elements, the box used for alignment is the box whose height is the 'line-height' (containing the box's glyphs and the half-leading on each side, see above). For all other elements, the box used for alignment is the margin box.

The default blocks
The HTML you provided consists of 4 blocks which have these display properties by default.

*

*
 - treated as a block

Needle-in-strawberry scare spreads across Australia
Sewing needles were found in strawberries in all six Australian states. No injuries have been reported
Needle-in-strawberry scare spreads across Australia Sewing needles were found in strawberries in all six Australian states. No injuries have been reported Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://detne.ws/2MFmClF
Rod Mcguirk, Associated Press Published 6:50 a.m. ET Sept. 17, 2018
In this Sept. 14, 2018, photo, empty shelves, normally stocked with strawberry punnets, are seen at a Coles Supermarket in Brisbane. Public fears about sewing needles concealed inside strawberries on supermarket shelves have spread across Australia and New Zealand as growers turn to metal detectors and the Australian government launches an investigation to restore confidence in the popular fruit.(Photo: Dan Peled / AP)
Melbourne, Australia – Public fears about sewing needles concealed inside strawberries on supermarket shelves have spread across Australia and New Zealand as growers turn to metal detectors and the Australian government launches an investigation to restore public confidence in the popular fruit.
The government of Queensland state, where the contamination scare started last week, offered a 100,000 Australian dollar ($72,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for inserting needles into strawberries after six brands – Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious – were recalled.
The scare had spread across the nation by Monday, with needles reported found in strawberries in all six Australian states. No injuries have been reported.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt ordered the national food safety watchdog to investigate Queensland's handling of the needle scare.
He directed Food Standards Australia New Zealand to investigate whether there are supply chain weaknesses that need to be fixed.
"The job is very, very clear. Protect the public and keep them safe," Hunt told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Both of New Zealand's major food distributors, Foodstuffs and Countdown, announced on Monday they are taking Australian strawberries off their shelves because of the scare.
New Zealand imports Australian strawberries when they are out of season locally from April to September, and both chains say the home-grown product will be on supermarket shelves soon.
Queensland Strawberry Growers Association vice president Adrian Schultz said what had started as a single act of "commercial terrorism" had brought a multimillion-dollar industry to its knees.
"I'm angry for all the associated people, it's the farmers, the people who supply them, the packaging people, the truckies with families to support, who suddenly lose their jobs … it's far-reaching," Schultz said.
Major Australian supermarket chains Coles and Aldi have pulled all strawberries from their shelves across Australia except in Western Australia state as a precaution.
But Western Australia police announced Monday that the first suspected needle contamination case has been reported in locally grown fruit.
A man in the town of York reported to police that he found a needle in a sink after washing strawberries.
The report came after a 7-year-old girl in South Australia state found a needle in a Western Australia-grown strawberry on Saturday.
Western Australia Health Minister Roger Cook said the needle could have been inserted in the fruit after it arrived in South Australia.
Strawberry Growers Association of Western Australia president Neil Handasyde said growers had received requests from major retailers and insurance companies to scan fruit for needles.
"As an industry we are sure that (the needles) are not coming from the farm, but we're trying to get confidence into consumers that when they buy … strawberries, that there isn't going to be anything other than strawberries in there and they're safe to eat," Handasyde told ABC.
"Industry are looking at lots of different ways of tackling this issue. There's been metal detectors purchased and tamper-proof packaging looked at," he said.
Handasyde said he paid AU$20,000 for a metal detector for his berry farm.

Who doesn't love popping for bass on a small farm pond? Those same techniques transfer to a host of different species in warm and coldwater as well as fresh and saltwater.
Yes, poppers can be used with almost any type of fish that will come to the surface to feed. Smaller poppers are often the favorite of trout and Arctic grayling in cold water, and bluegills and bass in warm water. They are definitely also on the list as a pike favorite.
Anglers who learn to "pop" a fly on the surface water and make it emit a noise, will find cooperative fish almost everywhere. Most popper anglers recommend that you do short, quick strips of the fly across the surface, letting it dip into the water every few seconds to rest before doing another strip. Both the disturbance and the popping noise attract the fish.
Poppers are considered flies because they have a single hook. Many fall into that category because they are made with clipped deer hair of a variety of different colors from black to yellow to white, much as a muddler would be. Other designs utilize a plastic pre-formed body decorated with rubber legs or marabou plumes.
Poppers can be used in both cold and warm water. Try skittering them across the surface of an Alaskan river with an intermittent pop to make things interesting. Two or more fish can usually be seen pursuing these great little top-sides flies, no matter what you might be fishing for.
The deer-hair mice that many people use for pike fishing can be fished exactly like a popper on the surface. Plastic body poppers also attract pike. Although I like to see the fish stalking my wet flies, I can't ignore the fun that poppers can engender. Keep in mind that pike grab small ducks and frogs right off the top of the water, so they are usually looking up.
Don't forget about saltwater fishing with poppers too. The largest rooster fish that I ever caught (in the 40 lb range) absolutely crashed down on a large, white foam popper with a white tail decorated with multicolored Flashabou.
I especially like poppers tied on a #6 or #8 or even a #10 hook, but I do always take larger flies along, just in case some of the bigger fish are extra hungry. There is no take more exciting than when a fish takes a big fly off the surface. Next time you are out on the water try adding a little pop to your fishing.

Acxess Spring gives the user a large amount of technical information through various spring design help articles throughout their website. Also included, is our famous spring calculator, Spring Creator where you can create a compression, extension, or torsion spring design along with a full spring analysis and live blueprint. Many people are not aware of the several factors that take place when it comes to spring design. The following information and provided links will direct you towards designing the most perfectly working spring your device needs.
Compression springs are the most common, popular, and usually the most economical springs on the market. They are also the easiest to design; but this doesn't mean that you don't have to be aware of the important factors behind your compression spring design. In compression spring design help you must be aware of the amount of travel your compression spring must compress to and the amount of load you'll be placing on your spring for it to travel down to the desired loaded height. Once you are aware of these values, you will be able to calculate the spring rate or spring constant you need your spring to have by simply dividing the amount of force by the distance traveled as the formula in the image below indicates. Sometimes, you might reach the perfect amount of rate but won't be able to travel down to the desired loaded height due to your spring's fatigue limit which takes into consideration spring index. This is where "maximum safe travel considering solid height" or "maximum spring compression" comes in as well as "maximum safe load considering solid height". If your spring has too small of an index or if your spring's solid height is greater than the loaded height you wish to achieve, you will not be able to achieve the travel or load you wish to apply so keep these factors in mind. Spring index is tightness of the diameter of the coils of your spring. The formula and explanation for index are also shown in the image below.
Extension springs are also very common but they aren't as economical as compression springs due to the fact that these will usually have hooks. In extension spring design help, the process is similar to that of a compression spring. You still have to take into mind its physical dimensions as well as the extended length you wish your spring to travel too and under what amount of load. Extension spring rate is calculated the same way but there is one extra factor you have to take into mind besides rate. You see, extension springs already have a collected amount of energy before being extended. This huddled energy is called initial tension. So when you extend your spring, you will apply the force indicated by the calculation of rate plus the amount of initial tension. Initial tension does not increase in a linear motion like rate does, it is only added once whether you travel one or two inches. The image below provides the formulas and explanation of this operation. The limitations like maximum safe travel considering hook stress and maximum safe load considering hook stress are also a critical part of your design. Missing these important values can eventually cause the hooks of your spring to break. Spring index for extension springs is the same as it is for compression springs or any other spring so make sure your index is no less than 4 to 1 so it won't be that tight so that your spring is able to travel your required distance traveled freely.
Torsion springs are somewhat popular and may be more cost effective than extension springs as long as they don't have any bends on the legs. Torsion spring design help is quite different from the previously mentioned types of springs because we are now dealing with a radial force. You will no longer be traveling inches or millimeters but degrees of deflection and your torsion spring's rate will now be measured in inch-pounds per degree or inch-pounds per 360 degrees. You will also have to look out for the "maximum load possible" and the "maximum safe travel" to make sure your spring functions as expected. When your spring deflects, the inner diameter contracts or decreases in size, so be sure that this measurement will not be smaller than the diameter of your shaft or mandrel.

U2 lowers height of planned visitor centre over council concerns
About 390,000 fans expected to flock to Dublin Docklands attraction each year
Sat, Jan 5, 2019, 12:52
Gordon Deegan
The proposed U2 visitor centre at Hanover Quay in Dublin's south docklands.
U2 has reduced significantly the height of its planned visitor centre in Dublin's Docklands in response to 'serious concerns' expressed by Dublin City Council.
Revised plans for the visitor centre show that the band is proposing a 2.34m reduction in height of the 14.4m high centre, which around 390,000 U2 fans are expected to visit annually.
In August, Dublin City Council put the plan on hold after expressing "serious concerns" over the height of the proposed centre.
The proposal by Paddy McKillen Snr's Golden Brook Ltd and U2's MHEC Ltd is to include a reconstruction of the band's original studio and various themed exhibit areas that include a series of abstract scenes such as 'the Music Room' and 'Larry's Kitchen'.
An objection lodged on behalf of 63 nearby apartment dwellers claimed that the proposal would result in overshadowing of apartments.
The new submission says an independent light analysis shows the reduction in height "eliminates any potential impact on the quality of natural daylight reaching the buildings directly behind or any properties within the vicinity".
The architects, ODAA, state that "this has been achieved without undermining the intent of the original concept and we are confident that the revised design maintains the same degree of functionality and user experience as before".
Visitor experience consultants, realstudios have already designed exhibitions for David Bowie and Pink Floyd and they have told the city council that the annual visitor numbers for the U2 visitor centre would be around 390,000.
They state that the centre will attract 3,000 on peak days with August being the peak month with around 75,000 visitors in that month.
The consultants state that during peak months, there will be a need for some control over arrival at the site and this would include the need for pre-purchased tickets.
In response to the original plan, planning consultants for Carysfort Capital, McGill Planning state that, if granted, the U2 visitor centre "will leave a profound and long term effect on the character of the Grand Canal Dock area".
The consultants stated that "the chosen design and architectural language is simply not appropriate for this location and should be refused".
McGill Planning state that the planned "monolithic" U2 visitor centre "presents a significant and unsympathetic urban edge to Hanover Quay".
The planning consultants state that instead, the U2 visitor centre "will present a significant, permanent and detrimental visual barrier for residents of the lower floor of the apartment scheme".
In total, 12 objections were lodged against the proposal with seven submissions in favour including Fáilte Ireland and Dublin Chamber.
A decision is due on the application next month.

Ian Eagle Re-Signs with CBS
CBS has inked Ian Eagle to a new multi-year deal. It was a necessary move for the network to resign their number two broadcaster behind Jim Nantz.
Will Galvez
Ian Eagle isn't going anywhere. CBS has inked Ian Eagle to a new multi-year deal. It was a necessary move for the network to re-sign their number two broadcaster behind Jim Nantz.
NEWS: CBS re-signs Ian Eagle to long-term deal with Jim Nantz "Romo money" negotiations looming, The Post has learned.https://t.co/sBcnTohAmD
— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) February 1, 2021
It a similar scenario, FOX re-signed their number two broadcaster, Kevin Burkhardt.
Eagle, 51, will continue in his role calling college basketball and serving as the head play-by-play analyst calling Brooklyn Nets games on the YES Network.
The necessary resigning of Eagle has turned the quiet grumblings into loud roars for the Jim Nantz's pending big-dollar extension.
Nantz currently makes $6.5 million annually. He has made it clear that he would like to be paid like Tony Romo, his partner on CBS's NFL broadcasts. A little under a year ago, Romo signed a new deal with the network that pays him $17 million per year.
The duo will call the Super Bowl next Sunday. After that, Nantz will call the Final Four and The Masters for CBS.
Exactly what effect Eagle's deal has on CBS's negotiations with Nantz remains to be seen. If nothing else, it certainly gives the network a safety net in the event Nantz walks away.

NBCUniversal has decided to explore other options, going so far as to plan an upcoming test with an upstart Nielsen competitor during two of the biggest events in television: the Super Bowl and the Olympics.
According to a Los Angeles Times report from Stephen Battaglio, NBCUniversal will use data from iSpot.tv to provide viewing information on the two major events next month. Publicis Media, which owns several major ad-buying companies, has agreed to participate in the test with several of its clients.
NBCUniversal remains a client of Nielsen and will continue to use its ratings for the events. But the test with iSpot.tv — which has a multi-year deal to provide its services to NBCU — will be the most high-profile effort to promote a viable competitor to Nielsen.
The Times report states that this is more than just a bluff, as NBCU is hoping a successful test leads to switching to iSpot.tv's data going forward. That would certainly mark a major shift, and it's all tied back to NBC and other networks being dissatisfied with how Nielsen calculates non-traditional viewing. Considering that's a growing portion of viewership, especially in key demographics, and that it's only going to be more important going forward.
Obviously, the Super Bowl will pull numbers regardless, on traditional and non-traditional platforms. But NBC pays billions for the Olympics, and this move seems intended at finding more satisfactory tracking data it can present to advertisers.
But NBCU executives are of the mind that consumers have been watching more due to the variety of streaming options. The network is hoping the data from iSpot.tv will confirm their assumption.
"Karim makes his debut Friday night on NBA TV."
Turner Sports and Nabil Karim have agreed on a multi-year deal. Karim will serve as a studio host and reporter for basketball and hockey programming. An official announcement is expected later today.
Karim makes his debut Friday night on NBA TV. Most recently with ESPN, the British Columbia native was at TSN from 2011-2019, hosting a well-rounded suite of premier events.
He joined The Kyle Koster Show to talk about his new role, what he's most excited about, and his career journey to this point.
"I think about broadcasters, and I wonder how many of them, their favorite two sports are hockey and basketball," Nabil Karim said. "Being a Canadian, growing up with hockey, that was 1a and 1b for me. When Turner acquired NHL and this opportunity came up to work in hockey and basketball, it was a no-brainer."
"Richard Deitsch of The Athletic notes that Thamel will become a "major" part of College GameDay."
Just like the NFL, the news rarely stops in college football these days. That is why ESPN is hiring someone to cover the sport the way Adam Schefter covers the NFL. That someone will be Yahoo's Pete Thamel.
Andrew Marchand reported Wednesday night that Thamel is expected to join ESPN in a insider role covering college football.
ESPN already has three reporters that it classifies as "college football insiders." Those are Heather Dinich, Adam Rittenberg and Mark Schlabach. Thamel appears set to become the face of that operation though.
As first reported by @AndrewMarchand, ESPN has hired Pete Thamel to be its lead college football insider. What I can add of interest is Thamel will be a weekly part of @CollegeGameDay. It doesn't mean he'll be onsite every week but he'll be a major figure on that show.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) January 13, 2022
Thamel's hire continues something of a trend for ESPN. Marchand points out that whenever the network is in the market for an insider to cover a sport, it tends to go shopping at Yahoo!. Pete Thamel joins Adrian Wojnarowski and Jeff Passan as insiders that left the site for Bristol.

Women at greater risk of ovarian cancer have fewer 'friendly' bacteria in the vagina, a study has found
'What's really exciting about this paper is that it shows the significance vaginal bacteria has in terms of disease prevention'

Women most a risk of ovarian cancer have fewer 'friendly' bacteria in the vagina, according to research published today in The Lancet Oncology.
Gynaecological cancer charity The Eve Appeal – who jointly funded the research with the European Commission's Horizon 2020 initiative – hope the findings will inspire a vital conversation about factors that can influence and interfere with the vaginal microbiome.
'This is something you can actually make a difference to. You can literally influence your vaginal fauna and flora' – Athena Lamnisos
"There's very little we know about how ovarian cancer starts, so what's really exciting about this paper is that it shows the significance vaginal bacteria has in terms of disease prevention," says Athena Lamnisos, CEO of The Eve Appeal.
"This is something you can actually make a difference to. You can literally influence your vaginal fauna and flora so, knowing the vaginal microbiome is important, you can then look at all the things that affect those bacteria."
The Eve Appeal is now warning women to think again about using so-called feminine hygiene products such as vaginal douches, claiming their impact on the vaginal microbiome is not being properly considered.
The vaginal microbiome
Credit:@jenniferrosedesign and @eveappeal
The study collected cervical smear samples from 580 women and used gene sequencing to calculate the proportion of lactobacilli species in each sample of vaginal bacteria. One set looked at women with cervical cancer, while the other looked at women with a BRCA mutation. Both sets also included healthy women and women with benign gynaecological conditions as controls.
I had a 'sensitive caesarean' after being told I couldn't give birth vaginally
The research found reduced levels of lactobacilli bacteria in the vaginas of women with ovarian cancer and women without ovarian cancer who have the BRCA1 gene mutation, which puts them at 40 times the risk of developing the disease in future.
Women without ovarian cancer, who do not have the high-risk BRCA gene, were found to have much higher levels of lactobacilli.
So why is this significant?
The lactobacilli naturally found in the vagina form a protective barrier against infections, preventing them from travelling up the gynaecological tract to the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
"Lactobacilli's main job is to keep the milieu in the vagina acidic. Without that low pH, other [harmful] bacteria would overgrow the vagina," explains Professor Martin Widschwendter, a Consultant Gynaecologist and Professor in Women's Cancer at the EGA Institute for Women's Health, University College London (UCL), who led the research.
"[Harmful] bacteria could then travel up through the cervix and womb lining, and irritate the fallopian tubes, which is actually where ovarian cancer originates. This could, possibly, contribute to cancer development," he adds.
"So this research we've published really provides us with high reassurance that microbiome changes are causally involved in ovarian cancer development, and rectifying an abhorrent vaginal microbiome might well prevent ovarian cancer from developing."
The case against feminine hygiene products
When it comes to so-called 'feminine hygiene products', like vaginal douches, deodorants, wipes and washes, the impact on women's vaginal microbiome is simply not being considered, says Lamnisos. Lamnisos is a vocal critic of the feminine hygiene market.
While there's no evidence that feminine hygiene products cause ovarian cancer, a previous study published in 2016 found that vaginal douching (washing or cleaning out the vagina) was associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Research in 2016 by 'Gynae Geek' Dr Anita Mitra also found links between low levels of lactobacilli and cervical dysplasia – the cervical cell abnormalities that could potentially develop into cervical cancer.
'The more interventions you apply in the vagina, the higher the chance that you're also disturbing those good and protective lactobacilli' – Professor Widschwendter
"The more interventions you apply in the vagina, the higher the chance that you're also disturbing those good and protective lactobacilli, and facilitating dominance of the bad bugs," Professor Widschwendter adds.
"We're only just beginning to really understand which factors contribute to disturbing this vaginal microbiome, but I would say these aromatic hygiene products are not in women's best interest."
"The vagina is a self-cleaning organ – it doesn't need to be washed," Lamnisos adds.
Products can disguise symptoms of cancer
Lamnisos adds feminine hygiene products also carry the risk of masking significant symptoms of gynaecological cancers, which women should instead be getting checked out by their doctor.
"A repeated story we hear from women who, for example, have vulval cancer, is that for years they've had some kind of vaginal discomfort, itching, and what they've been doing is continuously using products which disguise or take the edge off those symptoms," she explains.
'The other area where you can see that it's really unhelpful is in telling women that any kind of natural smell or natural discharge is to be got rid of immediately' – Athena Lamnisos
"The other area where you can see that it's really unhelpful is in telling women that any kind of natural smell or natural discharge is to be got rid of immediately. A fowl smelling discharge could be a sign of cervical cancer, but if you're constantly getting rid of normal, natural smells or discharges, you won't know what is normal, so you'll never spot what isn't normal. Knowing your normal is really key to catching signs and symptoms of gynae cancers early."
Vaginal probiotics – the future of ovarian cancer protection?
Professor Widschwendter's research, which forms part of the broader Forecee project into female cancer prevention, also opens up the possibility that vaginal probiotics could, in future, be used to help with ovarian cancer prevention in women who are found to have low levels of lactobacilli.
"Our findings, for the time being, have implications for women who carry a BRCA mutation and for young, otherwise healthy women who are found to have low lactobacilli in the vagina. This is subject to further research, but our data strongly supports that they might benefit from using vaginal probiotic suppositories to re-normalise the vaginal microbiome," he explains.
'Our data strongly supports that they might benefit from using vaginal probiotic suppositories to re-normalise the vaginal microbiome' – Professor Widschwendter
The Eve Appeal believes this could be really significant, particularly for women with the high-risk BRCA mutation. "Currently if you find out you carry a BRCA mutation, the only thing you can do that will reduce your risk of developing either breast or ovarian cancer is to have the organs at risk removed. That's pretty drastic, and not a walk in the park at any age," Lamnisos says.
"What's really exciting about Forecee is that it's looking, in a very holistic way, at what interventions you can make that are less dramatic than having risk reducing surgery. Finding out that there is a factor where you can potentially intervene, like the vaginal microbiome, is very exciting," she adds.
For women without the BRCA mutation, Professor Widschwendter explains, low levels of lactobacilli could be picked up using samples collected as part of routine cervical screening tests – although in future he hopes women will be able to self-collect samples and send them directly to a lab for testing.

Q: F# - Convert Task to plain Task I'm using Giraffe to create native .NET Tasks with Async workflows since I need interoperability with the Discord.NET library.  I've got an event that takes a Task, but the event handler that I'm writing returns a Task<unit> and for some reason the type checker isn't smart enough to realize that it's the same thing.  Is there a way to convert the Task<unit> to a straight up Task?
Here's my code:
let messageReceived (msg : SocketMessage) =
    task {
        let author = msg.Author.Username
        let text = msg.Content
        match msg.Author.Username with
            | "Monika" -> ()
            | usr ->
                if text.ToLower().StartsWith "<@407367655830585344> say" then
                    text.Substring 26 |> msg.Channel.SendMessageAsync |> ignore
                else if text.ToLower().StartsWith "<@407367655830585344>" then
                    let response = (Lines.VoiceLines |> Extras.randomElement).Replace("[player]", author)
                    msg.Channel.SendMessageAsync response |> ignore
                else if text.ToLower().StartsWith "delete" then
                    text.Substring 7 + ".chr deleted" |> msg.Channel.SendMessageAsync |> ignore
                else if Extras.onein 10 then
                    let response = (Lines.VoiceLines |> Extras.randomElement).Replace("[player]", author)
                    msg.Channel.SendMessageAsync response |> ignore
    }

_client.add_MessageReceived (fun m -> messageReceived m)

The last line generates an error, saying that the MessageReceived event needs a function with the signature SocketMessage -> Task:

error FS0001: This expression was expected to have type 'Task' but here has type 'Task<unit>'

A: Task is the base class of Task<T>, so you should be able to upcast Task<unit> to Task with :> operator. Try something like this:
(fun m -> messageReceived m :> Task)

I think this minimal example reproduces the issue:
// int -> Task<unit>
let sleepTaskT (m : int) = Async.Sleep m |> Async.StartAsTask
// (int -> Task) -> Task
let foo (f : int -> Task) = f 1000
// "This expression was expected to have type 'Task' but here has type 'Task<unit>'"
foo (fun m -> sleepTaskT m)
// this works by explicitly upcasting sleepTaskT's Task<unit> to Task
foo (fun m -> sleepTaskT m :> Task)

Google to remove image of dead teenager from its Maps service
Posted on November 20, 2013 by Jeffrey Bausch
Move follows request made by distressed family member of murdered teen
Following a request made by the devastated family of a murdered 14-year-old boy, search giant Google has agreed to replace a section of Richmond, California satellite imagery that clearly shows police standing around the teenager's deceased body.
An overhead look of the crime scene.
Focusing features allow users to zoom in on the crime scene; the boy's body has been blurred out.
Kevin Barrera's body was found in 2009 badly beaten and shot to death. To this date, the murder has never been solved.
Kevin Barrera via KTVU.
Jose Barrera, the boy's father, learned this past week that Google's Maps service has a satellite image of the murder scene. Upon verification, he put in a formal request with the search and technology giant asking that it be removed.
In response to the request, a Google spokesperson said that while the company normally does not address image replacement requests right away, it would make an exception for Mr. Barrera's note due to the highly sensitive nature of these circumstances.
"Our hearts go out to the family of this young boy. Since the media first contacted us about the image, we've been looking at different technical solutions," read a company statement.
"Google has never accelerated the replacement of updated satellite imagery from our maps before, but given the circumstances we wanted to make an exception in this case."
Google technicians estimate that they will have a new image up within eight days.
"When I see this image, that's still like that happened yesterday," Mr. Barrera told local television station KTVU. "And that brings me back to a lot of memories."
For those curious about the service, Google Maps stitches together a vast selection of images collected by both satellite and at street level by cameras mounted on vehicles. The latter service is fairly new and so the images tend to be a bit more up to date. Satellite images, however, are not updated often, and tend to be between one and three years old.
And while Google has a facility set up to handle complaints about street level images used in its Mapping services (mostly breech of privacy complaints ranging from blurring out an individual's face to a car owner's license plate), since not as many complaints are brought in about the captured satellite images, Google has never set up a department to handle the matter.

ATMEGA32 Datasheet(PDF) 4 Page - ATMEL Corporation
Part No. ATMEGA32

ATmega32(L)
2503F–AVR–12/03
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.
All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing
two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock
cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to
ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATmega32 provides the following features: 32K bytes of In-System Programmable
Flash Program memory with Read-While-Write capabilities, 1024 bytes EEPROM, 2K
byte SRAM, 32 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, a
JTAG interface for Boundary-scan, On-chip Debugging support and programming, three
flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, Internal and External Interrupts, a serial
programmable USART, a byte oriented Two-wire Serial Interface, an 8-channel, 10-bit
ADC with optional differential input stage with programmable gain (TQFP package only),
a programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI serial port, and six
software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing
the USART, Two-wire interface, A/D Converter, SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and
interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register con-
tents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next External
Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the Asynchronous Timer continues
to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping.
The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except Asynchro-
nous Timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In Standby
mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping.
This allows very fast start-up combined with low-power consumption. In Extended
Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue to run.
The device is manufactured using Atmel's high density nonvolatile memory technology.
The On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system
through an SPI serial interface, by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer, or
by an On-chip Boot program running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any
interface to download the application program in the Application Flash memory. Soft-
ware in the Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is
updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU
with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega32 is
a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to
many embedded control applications.
The ATmega32 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development
tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit
emulators, and evaluation kits.
Digital supply voltage.
Ground.
Port A (PA7..PA0)
Port A serves as the analog inputs to the A/D Converter.
Port A also serves as an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port, if the A/D Converter is not used.
Port pins can provide internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port A output
buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability.
When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source
current if the internal pull-up resistors are activated. The Port A pins are tri-stated when
a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not running.

Right… I think I got an ear infection listening to everyone tell me that I really MUST watch this movie. For some reason everyone who recommended this movie to me seemed to think I needed to watch it. Why? Was I angry? Upset? Uneasy? Unable to get along with? Certainly seemed like it but out of defiance I didn't watch it. I got a copy on DVD and allowed it to sit around gathering dust. So this bed-rest nonsense going on forced me to watch the movie because I hadn't bothered to pay the subs on the pay-TV channels.
It starts off and I'm prepared to have it as background noise and suddenly I'm paying attention. Not relating to it but paying attention. For some reason the quotes kept reminding me of Robert M Prisig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. There was something deep in everything being said and it kept striking a chord; but not enough for me to relate.
Nice movie – watch it if you want. You won't get me ramming it down your throat telling you to watch it to change your life. The quotes are great but they're not going to change my life.
Am I the only one not going ga-ga over this movie…?

OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's REC Silicon (REC.OL), a supplier of silicon materials to the solar industry, will cut around 100 U.S. jobs and take further asset impairments due to a U.S.-China trade war over solar panels, it said on Monday.
The company has been unable to sell its goods in China since 2014 as a result of the dispute between the world's two largest economies, leading to several rounds of redundancies at its two U.S. plants.
The Oslo-listed firm said on Monday it would lay off around 40 percent of the 250 employees at its Moses Lake plant in the U.S. state of Washington and cut production there to about 25 percent of capacity.
Its shares were down 14 percent at 1115 GMT, lagging an Oslo benchmark index .OSEBX down 0.5 percent, having already fallen 68 percent over the past five years.
China has imposed tariffs on U.S. imports of polysilicon, a key element to make solar panels that REC Silicon produces, while the United States slapped tariffs on solar panel imports starting in 2012 and with a latest round in January.
The company has another U.S. plant in Montana, which is unaffected by the latest job cuts. Some 70 workers at that plant were laid off in September and 70 were laid off at the Moses Lake plant in 2016.
"It is really sad. We can't access the market. We don't want subsidies. We just want fair access," CEO Tore Torvund told a conference call.
REC Silicon also said it expected to report additional impairments when it publishes second-quarter results on July 19. Second-quarter revenue was expected at $58 million, it said, adding it had about $42 million in cash.
"Current market conditions will negatively impact the company's profitability and credit risk exposure," it said. REC Silicon did not say how much the impairments would be.
"We make a strong demand to the present (U.S.) administration to find a solution so that we can continue to operate out of the U.S.," said Torvund, reiterating calls the firm made in January, after Washington introduced 30-percent tariffs on imports of solar panels.
"We are very dependent on the U.S. administration going to the administration in China so that we can continue to operate polysilicon out of the United States," he said, adding the company was cost-competitive because it held technology others did not have.
