Luis Enrique's Barcelona side made the enviable trip to Paris on Valentine's day for a last-16 first leg clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Both sides are experiencing average domestic campaigns by their lofty recent standards and the Champions League thus takes on great significance as an alternative way of enjoying a successful season.
For most of the first 15 minutes the home side were intent on pressing Barcelona all the way up to ter Stegen, aware of how significantly Barcelona's threat would be reduced by an ineffective build-up. There were a number of interesting aspects in PSG's pressing that allowed them to prevent Barcelona building attacks from deep.
From their nominal 4-3-3 shape, the roles of the front 3 were crucial. Draxler and Di Maria were half space focused, particularly when ter Stegen had the ball. They were positioned for quick access to Barcelona's centre backs and they often pressed them diagonally to put pressure on the carrier and block the pass to the full back behind them.
The half space focus of the PSG wingers had a positive effect on their pressing, particularly allowing them to prevent Barcelona making gradual switches across the pitch in build-up. Due to their proximity to Pique and Umtiti, Barcelona were unable to use half space switches to relieve pressure. Furthermore, from this position they could easily move towards the centre and press ter Stegen to force him to pass back into the congested side of the pitch and increase PSG's chance of regaining the ball.
From his central striker position Cavani was tasked with putting pressure on ter Stegen but also blocking the passing lane to Busquets. By pressing vertically on any back passes to the German goalkeeper, Cavani could fulfil both tasks in the same action. When the ball was with either Barcelona centre back, the Uruguayan striker would drop deeper, since blocking Busquets was his primary task.
Verratti and Matuidi operated in a man-oriented fashion in high pressing phases. By maintaining short distances to Iniesta and Gomes/Messi respectively they could direct Barcelona away from midfield due to the risky nature of the ball-player-opponent distance.
Against the Parisian press, Barcelona's immediately obvious passing option became the chipped pass from ter Stegen to the full backs since they had the biggest distance to any opponent. However, the natural characteristics of long passes meant that the full-backs were often put under pressure upon receipt of the ball. This led to a number of ball losses since Barcelona often lacked appropriate support structures and connections to assist the full-backs in these situations.
These struggles against PSG's high pressing in the early stages contributed to an unstable start from the Spanish champions.
Perhaps the single biggest contributing factor to Barcelona's defeat was their poor performance without the ball. These issues were characterised by a total lack of intensity and a shockingly weak (and at times absent) team-mate orientation.
Perhaps a generally understated point is the effect that intensity has on structural aspects. Without an appropriate intensity level of structural movements in all phases, a team will have glaring structural weaknesses since players will be late to arrive in the right positions. If ever evidence was needed, Barcelona's performance provided it.
The generally unintense nature of Barcelona's defending provided very little challenge to PSG's circulation. This was surprisingly the case even in high pressing phases. The Catalan side often operated with a high block but lacked intensity and access to direct PSG's build-up. This led to numerous instances of the Parisian side breaking out from Barcelona's pressing and thus accessing large spaces to attack through in midfield.
This became an even larger issue in the second half. Since they were behind, Barcelona sought quicker access in high pressing phases and did so with a highly man-oriented approach. However, the lack of group and individual intensity meant the home side could easily win individual duels, this inevitably meant that the whole man-oriented system collapsed. This was evident in PSG's 4th goal as well as many other instances.
An issue within this was a generally slow reaction to put man-orientations aside and protect dangerous spaces when an individual duel had been lost. The likes of Meunier could thus dribble forwards unchallenged with the surrounding Barcelona midfielders too slow to move away from marking their direct opponents.
Barcelona's lack of intensity manifested in slow ball-oriented shifting, meaning the Barcelona block reacted poorly to simple ball circulation from Emery's side. This was the case against simple horizontal passes and particularly changes of depth which were enough to create large vertical disconnects in Barcelona's structure.
Perhaps a bigger issue than their weak high pressing was the poor level of team-mate orientation in midfield pressing. Team-mate orientation, as the term suggests, is basing actions off the actions of a team-mate. In defensive phases, particularly deep and midfield pressing, this manifests in simple reactions to certain players moving out of position.
When a midfielder pushes forward to press the ball, it follows that the midfielders besides him should move to narrow the gap he just left. Barcelona constantly failed to execute this basic zonal principle, and as such there were numerous instances of the likes of Iniesta moving forwards to press and no one moving to cover the space left behind.
There were further group-tactical communication errors where two or three midfielders would step forwards to press simultaneously. The flat shape that resulted from this allowed easy access to the 10 space into the likes of Di Maria. This failure to react to team-mates' movements, combined with the low intensity nature of these movements meant Barcelona had very little control over PSG's possession game.
The unintense nature of the Catalan side's performance extended to a possession game that failed to create advantages against PSG's defensive scheme due to slow structural movements leaving the ball carrier isolated.
In midfield pressing phases, the Parisians defended in a 4-1-4-1-0 defensive shape, with the "0" referring to the absence of pressure on Barcelona's first line of build-up, with Cavani man-marking Busquets. The 8s were thus responsible for pushing forwards to block Pique and Umtiti dribbling deep into PSG's defensive shape and close the passing lane into the likes of Messi. Matuidi was often more active in pushing forwards than Verratti, perhaps to limit Pique's superior distribution skills.
Barcelona's ball circulation was sluggish and ineffective resulting from slow or non-existent structural movements meaning the ball carrier often had few passing options. In response to Busquets being man-marked, Iniesta often dropped deep in the left half space to receive from Umtiti. However Neymar and Alba were often too slow to react to this movement.
With Iniesta vacating the 10 space, an appropriate structural response would be for Neymar to move into this space from the flank, and Alba to move higher on the wing. However, they often failed to make these movements quickly enough, and this combined with Verratti stepping forwards to press Iniesta was enough to force the ball back.
The resulting negative aspect of these slow or absent structural movements, was a possession game based heavily on individuals such as Messi and Iniesta to advance the ball. When in direct opposition with PSG's zonal defensive scheme this saw the likes of Messi isolated and swarmed by 3 opponents thus causing easy turnovers. On numerous occasions, Messi, Iniesta or Neymar were isolated against 3 opponents and the surrounding Catalan team mates failed to move out of oppositional cover shadows to create options to retain the ball.
Another aspect of Barcelona's circulation that suffered from these poor structural movements was the axis upon which their possession operated. The ball-far players often failed to move efficiently to create diagonal passing options since they were often slow to move out of oppositional cover shadows. As such the ball circulation was on a very horizontal and vertical axis, lacking much variation and making defensive adjustments easier for Emery's men.
Emery's PSG side secured a convincing victory that practically ensures their participation in the quarter final. Part of the reason Emery was brought in was due to his outstanding European record, and this victory will give hope to fans that they are a major contender to win this years Champions League. Although they were up against a very poor opponent, the home side demonstrated a well structured high and midfield press. This combined with the excellent talents of the likes of Di Maria and Verratti makes them a strong side.
As for Barcelona, the level and manner of the defeat are a massive blow, and the failure to execute basics hints at fundamental coaching problems, perhaps on both a tactical and social level. The Catalan giants are a point behind rivals Real Madrid who have 2 games in hand to build a big gap, and it will take a huge turnaround to recover that. A Copa Del Rey final against Alaves represents their most realistic chance of silverware. These competitive failures, allied with increasing concerns over the playing style may signal the end of Luis Enrique's reign in Catalunya.
I don't quite agree with you blaming lack of intenity as a major reason for Barcas poor performances. I have watched almost all Barca games under Enrique. He started off loosening Barcas tight structures to allow more freedom and showing of individual class. Fair enough. Over the last months though Barca has LOST his structure especially when HAVING THE BALL, forcing players to close huge gaps once the ball is lost. Everything Barcas players have to do now defensively happens under great stress resulting in an overall exhaustion of the team that some critisize as lack of intensity. It is a great difference though run 10 km in a well structured environment or in a chaotic struggle.
I agree with you partly, they were less intese than usually but they also completley failed to make any combination play whatsoever, and failed to enter half spaces only a few times messi, iniesta or neymar but with no real support most times, they were also bad at building up when PSG waited at centre of pitch with 5 man midfield line, barcas players didn't move enough to open up space and find free room no they just waited at their positions that's why barca was so bad at this game, and PSG was very disciplined they were always close to each other leaving almost no space in halfspaces to pass the ball only on flanks there was some space and in behind the defence, but as we know barca doesn't play long balls and PSG used that to their advantage, very smart from Emery deserved victory.
that is exactly the point: if the cobweb is not tight don´t blame the threads for not being intense enough. it's not that the players don't move enough, it's that they are not exactly sure where to move next.
Yeah, the issue is that we've (naturally) looked at this game from different perspectives. You're looking at it with previous knowledge on Enrique's Barca, which allows you to explain the cause of this lack of intensity. However this was a match analysis, and as such I analysed the factors in the game. Also, I don't watch Barcelona games very often so don't have the full context to judge what led to this poor intensity.
Totally agree with you. I mean: a Barca team, not intense enough (true enough) against one of their favourite opponents in their favourite competition!! man, something is going seriously wrong!!! by the way: congrats to Emery: he managed to exploit all of the weaknesses Barca has shown in the last months. As a blueprint (for anyone interested): watch betis:barca from a few weeks ago.

Ryhope Hall (NZ414528)
Many Ryhope old-timers may remember Ryhope Hall. Gutted by fire in the 1950s and demolished in the 1960s, its unusual brick tower was a notable village landmark for many a year.
But it's an odd-looking piece of architecture. The most popular explanation for the construction of the out-of-place item lies in the story that it was raised after an argument between neighbours. Following a heated exchange between the lady of the Hall and her former friend in the neighbouring Manor House (now Coqueda Hall), the latter was said to have built a high wall between the properties to prevent the Hall's occupants spying on her. In response, the Hall owner simply went one better, building the tower to overlook the wall!
The then tower-less Hall was originally built around 1675, and enjoyed a varied history as both a posting inn (The Three Boars Head, or something similar – sources vary) and a private residence – with lively links to a highwayman and rogue by the name of Robert Drummond in the early 1700s. In the early nineteenth century, Ryhope was a resort for sea-bathing and the Hall became popular with visiting gentry. After the railway replaced the coaches, the Hall came into the possession of the Streatfield family, owners of Ryhope Colliery.
As its fortunes gradually faded its ownership passed from one hand to another – its grounds even hosting professional boxing contests in the 1950s. Soon afterwards, as it fell into general dilapidation, it was destroyed by fire, and was then demolished completely in the 1960s. The site is now occupied by local authority housing on the southern side of the old village Green.

Kansai International Airport is the world's first airport built on a completely man-made island. That island is situated off the coast of Senshu in southern Osaka Prefecture. It is open all day long and has flights to 82 cities in 23 countries (as of the end of 2017).
Its main terminal is Terminal 1, which is directly connected to Kansai Airport Station. Terminal 2, which is for low-cost carriers, is 4 km away and can be accessed using a free shuttle bus from Aeroplaza (a multi-purpose complex consisting of hotels and restaurants), which is connected to Terminal 1 and Kansai Airport Station.

Transport Options From the Airport to Central Osaka
The three main modes of transportation from the airport to central Osaka are train (JR and Nankai Electric Railway), bus, and taxi. You can catch both the JR and Nankai trains at the station that's directly connected to the second floor of Terminal 1. Limited express trains like the HARUKA and Rapi:t have storage spaces for large luggage, ensuring a comfortable ride. If you have a Japan Rail Pass, you can use the pass to board JR trains for free.
There are boarding spots for airport buses (called "limousine bus") and taxis at both terminals. If you wish to take the bus, purchase a ticket in advance at the ticket counter near the boarding spot. They do not run as frequently to Terminal 2.

By Train (JR)
The Kansai Airport Rapid Service is recommended for those looking to travel cheap. It will require changing to the JR Kyoto Line at Osaka Station, but since they are both JR lines, there is no need to exit the ticket gate. It will take about 70 minutes to Osaka Station and another 5 minutes to Shin-Osaka Station. The total fare it'll cost is 1,360 JPY.
The fastest way to get to Shin-Osaka Station without changing trains is the Airport Express HARUKA. The fare is 1,360 JPY plus the price of an express ticket (starts from 970 JPY). You can choose unassigned regular seating (in which case the express ticket is 970 JPY), assigned seating (1,490 JPY for an express ticket), or premium Green Car seating (2,250 JPY for an express ticket).
The airport bus goes directly to Shin-Osaka and is more economical at 1,550 JPY, but it only departs once a day. It takes about 80 minutes from Terminal 1 and 90 minutes from Terminal 2. It will arrive at a bus terminal that is connected to Shin-Osaka Station through the JR and subway lines.
Compared to the other two options, this is the most expensive one. The travel time and fare depends on what time it is and the traffic situation, but on average, it takes about 60 minutes and costs 18,220 JPY (including expressway tolls).

JR trains are also recommended for getting to Osaka Station or Umeda Station. The fastest way to get there is the Airport Express HARUKA. It does not go directly to these stations, so you must change to the Osaka Loop Line at Tennoji Station. The fare is 1,190 JPY plus a limited express ticket (650 JPY for regular unassigned seating, 1,170 JPY for assigned seating, and 1,930 JPY for Green Car seating). It takes about 30 minutes to reach Tennoji Station and about 20 minutes from there to Osaka Station.
It will take about 70 minutes on the JR Kansai Airport Rapid Service. While it may take a little more time than the HARUKA, there is no need to change trains and the fare is cheaper at 1,190 JPY.
At its most frequent, four airport buses depart for Osaka Station each hour. You can disembark at Hotel New Hankyu Osaka, which is near the station, or the bus terminal in the commercial facility, HERBIS PLAZA ENT. The buses run all day, so they are convenient for people taking flights that arrive late at night. The fare is 1,550 JPY. It takes about 60 minutes from Terminal 1 and 75 minutes from Terminal 2.
There is a flat fare for taxis. It costs 13,000 JPY in a compact car (15,500 JPY for late at night and early in the morning) and 14,500 JPY in a medium-sized car (17,000 JPY for late at night and early in the morning). The travel time is roughly 50 minutes.

By Train (JR, Nankai Electric Railway)
Nankai Electric Railway is the cheaper and faster option for getting to Namba. However, it is not included in the Japan Rail Pass, so if you're using the pass, take the JR. Nankai Namba Station in the center of the city, but JR Namba Station is a bit far away, so make sure to double-check the distance from your final destination.
If you are taking the JR, ride the Airport Express HARUKA for approximately 30 minutes and change to the JR Yamatoji Line at Tennoji Station. It is about 5 minutes from Tennoji Station to JR Namba Station. If you are not using the Japan Rail Pass, the fare is 1,060 plus the price of a limited express ticket (650 JPY for a regular unreserved seat, 1,170 JPY for a reserved seat, and 1,930 JPY for a Green Car seat).
The Rapi:t on the Nankai Electric Railway goes directly to Nankai Namba Station. It takes about 35 minutes, making it the fastest transport option. The fare is 920 JPY plus 510 JPY for an express ticket. It only has reserved seating. There are regular seats, which consist of four seats in a row, as well as roomy Super Seats that have three seats in a row (the express ticket for a Super Seat is 720 JPY).
If cutting costs if more important than saving time, the Airport Express on the Nankai Electric Railway is recommended. It takes you directly to Namba for 920 JPY in about 45 minutes.
There is a flat fare for taxis heading to Namba. It costs 13,000 JPY in a compact car (15,500 JPY for late at night and early in the morning) and 14,000 in a medium-sized car (16,500 JPY for late at night and early in the morning). The travel time is roughly 50 minutes.
There are airport buses that go directly to the OCAT bus terminal near JR Namba Station between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm. The fare is 1,050 JPY. It takes about 50 minutes from Terminal 1 and about 60 minutes from Terminal 2. This is an easy option for getting to the bus terminal, but the bus terminal may be far from your final destination, so be sure to double-check how far away it is in advance.
There are two late-night buses that go to Nankai Namba Station, which is in the center of Namba. The fare is 1,550 JPY. It takes about 60 minutes from Terminal 1 and about 75 minutes from Terminal 2.

The Body Shop at Home raises a record breaking £883K in 2020
It's been an exciting day joining our partners The Body Shop at Home for their Global Kickstart Conference to launch 2021.
As well as looking forward it was a moment to say thank you for such an unexpected and record breaking year of fundraising for Children on the Edge. We could never have known just how challenging a year 2020 would be when we last met with thousands of consultants in February, and yet you have risen to every challenge and created incredible moments of change for Children on the Edge.
The aftermath from the Beirut blast
The dire economic situation in Lebanon - that was already leading to food shortages and made far worse by COVID-19 restrictions - was further exacerbated by the massive chemical explosion in Beirut's port on 4th August 2020. Our local partner Triumphant Mercy's (TM's) administrative offices and Beirut community centre are approximately two miles from the epicentre of the blast and their metal shutter was warped and windows smashed. In the end, the explosion caused 193 deaths, around 6,500 injuries and left approximately 300,000 people homeless.
TM immediately mobilised additional resources (including recruiting volunteers and fundraising) to respond to the needs of those affected by the blast. We ran an emergency appeal and raised over £10,000 to contribute to their efforts.
World Children's Day 2020: Children are leading their communities through COVID-19

In all of our projects around the world we work in partnership with local organisations and people from the communities to help create safe, child friendly environments where children can realise their rights and restore the ingredients of a full childhood by generating hope, life, colour and fun.
In the Kutupalong camps where we work in partnership with local organisation Mukti Cox's Bazar to provide education for 7,500 Rohingya children. We spoke to 28 year old Project Officer, Somorjit Das Raju who is part of the Mukti team, to find out more about his career and his highlights working with children in the Learning Centres.
Digital programme from Children on the Edge and Mukti wins 2020 Tech4Good Education award
Children on the Edge and Mukti are pioneering digital learning to overcome language barriers and deliver meaningful education for 7,500 Rohingya refugee children in the Kutupalong camp, Bangladesh; winning them this year's education prize at the 2020 Tech4Good Awards.
Over a million Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar in regular waves of displacement since the early 1990s. Genocidal attacks in August 2017 drove more than 742,000 people to seek refuge in Bangladesh, over half of which were children.
Children on the Edge has been ensuring access for Rohingya refugee children in the Kutupalong camp since 2009, originally creating low-profile schools to enable learning for thousands who were cut off from services. Whilst the Bangladesh government currently allows education in the camp, children are not permitted to learn in Bangla and there is no universally recognised script for the Rohingya language. This means that the workbook based education generally on offer is severely limited.
To tackle this problem, Children on the Edge provided 75 smartphones and battery powered projectors to their schools in the camps. Their digital team translated or dubbed existing digital educational content into the Rohingya dialect. This is now regularly sent via WhatsApp to teachers' smartphones, which slot into the battery-powered projectors in the classrooms.
After the initial pilot, child after child expressed joy and disbelief to be able to finally understand the lessons being presented. 1.5 hours of digital lessons are now delivered twice a day across all classrooms in the camps and their sister schools in the Cox's Bazar communities.
In this year's AbilityNet Tech4Good awards, this digital innovation was chosen for the Lenovo education award, recognising outstanding digital achievement in education. In its 10th year, Tech4Good judges reported a record breaking 400 entries with Mark Walker, AbilityNet's Head of Marketing and Communications saying "Our tenth year has seen more entries than ever, with hundreds of amazing examples of how tech can help to make the world a better place".
Rich Henderson, Director of Global Education Solutions at Lenovo said
"The Tech4Good Awards serve as so much more than simply another award ceremony. They offer hope of a more connected and prosperous future, and a world where children can learn without worrying how they'll access and comprehend their educational material"
Programme staff report that the initiative is enjoying an overwhelmingly positive response from children and teachers alike. Interviews with students have already shown how digital learning and digital video production is inspiring children and giving them fresh confidence that they will be able to compete in the job market of a globalised world.
Henderson goes on to say "Learning about the transformative work of Children on the Edge was uplifting, especially given the current tech and education divide. The organisation's efforts should propel all other individuals and organisations in the tech space to follow suit by putting digital tech to good use".
Rohingya refugee children have also gone on to use the technology to have their voices heard and to interact outside the camps and slums. Through their own online platform named Moja kids, they have recorded dozens of 'green screen' and outdoor news videos, which have been shared back and forth between camp and community schools.
"Seeing themselves on screen was literally jaw dropping and
resulted in entire classrooms jumping up to clap and cheer. "
John Littleton, Asia Regional Manager, Children on the Edge.
The aim is that this platform will become a global online community with no other agenda than for children to be able express their ideas and talents, connecting and communicating beyond the confines of their challenging surroundings.
As the result of a recent Crowdfunder, simple tech equipment is already being sourced for three thriving Child Rights Clubs supported by Children on the Edge in Uganda, so they can connect with children in Bangladesh and be the next set of voices to share their thoughts and experiences as part of Moja Kids.

CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE - Children on the Edge
Muscan in India creates a poster about preventing the spread of coronavirus.
Covid-19 lockdown procedures are having a devastating effect on the slum dwelling, refugee and internally displaced communities we support around the world. Through 30 years of working with some of the most marginalised groups, we know they are always the hardest hit in times such as these.
Together with our local partners we have been pursuing sensible solutions to contain the outbreak and provided 12,500 essential supply parcels to households who are most affected. This is thanks to the support of many generous donors including The Angus Lawson Memorial Trust, Partners Asia, DAK Foundation, The Body Shop at Home™, Alex and Will De Winton, Jeff Lucas and Postcode Global Trust.
We are now working to find creative solutions to enable children's learning to continue and to ensure they are safe whilst they are cut off from regular protection services.
Brave Grade 9 Students cross the border for exam success in Syria.
Last month a group of Grade 9 refugee students from the school we support in Lebanon crossed the border and returned to Syria to take their high school exams. Taking their exams in Syria enables the children to prepare for their future, allowing them to continue their education if and when a return to their home country is possible. It was a major achievement for the children, their parents and our team, which took a huge amount of planning and preparation.


Speed up your arduino sketch compilations! – Welcome to Electrobotify!
Ever had your arduino IDE take many many minutes to compile even simple sketches? Well it may not be totally it's fault. Yes, the arduino IDE isn't the most efficient but sketches that should take less than 20 seconds to compile are taking about 3 minutes!
The Source of the problem: Your Anti-Virus! Yes, your anti-virus plays a big role in the time it takes to compile these sketches, not because it does any compiling work ofcourse, but due to the "Real-time scanning" that they have. These constantly check the files that are being used (like header files included in your sketch) and the compiled files that are being made, and the arduino IDE makes quite a lot of them before linking them all into one. So checking every file as its being used and made takes a lot of time, slowing your compilations down by a large factor.
The Solution: The good news is, anti-virus softwares also have an real-time scanning exception list (not the normal full scan exception list) and the files/folders added to this list will be exempt from real-time scanning. So by adding the path of your Arduino executable folder and the libraries folder, you can more than quarter your compilation times! Adding your sketch directory may also help.
Note: It is not recommended to disable your real-time scanning completely as it will definitely weaken the security of your device.
Moreover, if the libraries and the arduino exe folder are on the same hard drive, it will definitely help reduce compilation times as the data can be read and written to, faster.
WARNING: Adding other unknown files/directories that you don't definitely trust, or those whose content is got from external sources (like the downloads folder where files from the internet are downloaded and saved) can severely weaken the security of your system as the files in the exception list will not be checked in real-time by your anti-virus.
Hope you can get rid of frustratingly slow sketch compilations for good! Happy compiling.

Оксофт, оксгофт (, ) або хогсхед, гоґсгед () — міра ваги і одиниця вимірювання об'єму рідини, а також назва для дерев'яних бочок розміром з голову кабана. Одиниця вимірювання залежить від того, що саме вимірюється.

Обсяг слабоалкогольних напоїв
Як правило, оксофт застосовували для оцінки обсягу різноманітних слабоалкогольних напоїв — пива, елю та сидру. При вимірюванні таких напоїв:

1 оксофт = 1 ½ бареля = 3 кілдеркіни = 6 феркінів.

У різні століття обсяг оксофта для пива і елю змінювався від 48 до 54 галонів. Так:
 У 1454 році: 1 оксофт = 48 галонів елю = 221,82 літрів або 1 оксофт = 54 (ельових) галони пива = 249,54 л.
 У 1688 році: 1 оксофт = 51 ельовий галон = 235,68 л.
 У 1803 році: 1 оксофт = 54 ельових галона = 249,54 л.
 З 1824 року: 1 оксофт = 54 англійських галони = 245,49 л.

Також розмір оксофта залежав від країни:
 На лівобережній Україні 1 оксофт = 18 відра;
 В Росії: 1 оксофт = 16,890 відра = 207,73 л;
 В Польщі: 1 оксофт = 19,512 відра = 240 л;
 В Пруссії: 1 оксофт = 16,751 відра = 206,04 л;
 В Швеції: 1 оксофт = 13,5 відра = 209,04 л.

Оксофт і вино
При вимірюванні кількості вина використовувався оксофт більшого об'єму.

1 оксофт = 1 / 4 тана = 1 / 2 пайпа (батта) = 3 / 4 феркіна (пуансона, тершіна) = 1 ½ тирса = 2 бареля = 3 ½ рандлета.

Так як 4 оксофти становлять тан, а тан у Великій Британії рівний 210 англійських галонів, а в США — 252 американських галони, то винний оксофт у Великій Британії дорівнює 52,5 галона (238,7 літрів), а в США — 63 галони (238,48 літрів).

В Оксфордському словнику 1897 року зазначено, що обсяг винного оксофта змінювався також залежно від вина, яке ним міряли, так як барила в яких перевозили вино різних марок були традиційно різного розміру. Так:
 1 оксофт бордо або мадери = 46 галонів,
 1 оксофт хереса = 54 галони,
 1 оксофт портвейна = 57 галонів.

Оксофт і тютюн
У колоніальні часи тютюн транспортували і зберігали в бочках, також званих хогсхедами. Це були дуже великі бочки. Стандартна бочка для тютюну мала 48 дюймів в довжину (121,92 см) і 30 дюймів (76,2 см) в діаметрі у верхній частині. Повністю наповнений тютюном, такий хогсхед важив близько 1000 фунтів (453,6 кг).

About the Pebble Garden
In 1920, Robert and Mildred Bliss tasked Frederick Brooke to design a Tennis Court for their newly purchased property. Because the land was so hilly, Brooke chose the flattest, broadest space he could—the old chicken yard. He set aside a 60 by 120 foot space, and enclosed it with high stone walls. When Beatrix Farrand took over the landscape design in 1921, she lowered the stonework, extended an Arts & Crafts-style lattice between the stone piers, and planted wisteria and other creeping vines along the perimeter. In 1930, she built a balcony overlook on the terrace to the south. Two years later, she added a redwood arbor and seating area—with custom-designed furniture—to the western side of the Tennis Court.
The Tennis Court never saw much use for its intended purpose. Photographs show that it served as a staging area for large construction projects, but games of tennis happened rarely. When Dumbarton Oaks transitioned from a private home to a research institution, gameplay became even more infrequent. In 1947, landscape architect Robert Patterson and director John Thacher discussed removing the Tennis Court entirely. At that time, Dumbarton Oaks was searching for a potential site for a Garden Center and library. Robert Patterson drew plans for placing the new building on the former Tennis Court site, and an architect even came out to survey and make estimates. However, the Garden Center never materialized.
The problem of the Tennis Court rested until Mildred Bliss revisited it in the late 1950s. In 1957, she took a trip to Italy where she visited the Villa I Tatti; there she saw Cecil Pinsent's black and white pebble mosaic terrace, which may have inspired her to try such a design at Dumbarton Oaks. Upon returning, Mildred Bliss set Ruth Havey to replace the old Tennis Court with a pebble mosaic. Havey worked on the drawings and designs from 1959 to 1963. She planned a curving limestone parterre outlining beds of thyme and sedum. In the center was a pebble mosaic of multi-colored stone chosen by Mildred Bliss. The stone came from a Mexican beach 100 miles south of Los Angeles.
Havey framed the terrace at the north with a large rococo fountain and pool, and at the south with a large mosaic wheat sheaf surrounded by stone cornucopia. In the paving beneath the wheat sheaf she placed the Bliss family motto, Quod Severis Metes. On the fountain wall, Havey crafted a rocaille backdrop of cast stone in a pattern similar to the one Beatrix Farrand chose for the swimming pool terrace in 1931. In front of this wall, she placed a deep pool with three 18th century lead sculptures of a Triton and two amorini on Hippocamps. The sculptures, said to be originally from the Water Theater at Versailles in Paris, were gifts to Mildred Bliss from Gertrude Chanler of Meridian House in 1959.
The Pebble Garden was originally designed to be viewed from above and through a shallow pool of water. During construction of the mosaic, Mildred Bliss noticed the brilliant colors of the Mexican pebbles after a rain, and she requested that the stone coping be raised high enough to hold a few inches of water. However, in recent years weather damage, cracking, and spalling have caused the parterre to leak extensively. For this reason, the mosaic remains dry today.

We are pleased to inform you that [name of uni] will be hosting a video-shoot session and would like to invite you to come for this session. We wish to introduce our achievers in this videoshoot, as our effort to show our appreciation to [name of uni] achievers. This interactive-cd will be featured at our roadshows & formal functions for other public students.We will be organizing this video-session within mid week - of October 2006 but the dates and time are not yet confirm.
Do email me back to express your interest, hopefully before end of this week & we will get back to you once the dates of the session is firmed.
Hope to hear from you soon. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks very much for your invitation. I however regret to inform you that I shall be turning down the offer due to negative past experiences I have had with [name of uni].
My CGPA was severely affected by lecturers who let their emotions get in the way of professionalism, after I and several other peers utilised our rights as students and offered constructive advice on their lecturing techniques. I also had to resume my studies after a year of working full-time, as I was not informed by the college that I needed to complete more subjects in order to graduate. The college had done nothing to help alleviate my situation nor offer any compensation for the massive inconvenience - if anything it deflected all blame - but I'm very lucky to have had a boss who was understanding enough to let me continue working part-time while I finished the course.
I have heard countless other stories from my friends in the same program, whom have been held back in similar cases that highlight the appalling discrepancies in [name of uni]'s administration. One of them, incidentally and unfortunately enough, includes Jayaram, but that is another story altogether. If you or any other [name of uni] representative is interested in hearing him out I am sure he will be more than happy to share his views.
I have offered my profile generously to [name of uni] through publicity work which I have done for free in the past few years. But I have come to the stage where I feel that if [name of uni] sincerely wants to put in an 'effort to show (its) appreciation to [name of uni] achievers', i.e. ask for more favors from its alumni, then I strongly suggest that it bucks up in the student welfare department first.
I hope this email reaches upper management if only for their kind awareness and future reference.
Thanks for reading, and best wishes for the shoot.
Bravo to the tard one!!!!
In general certain private college/university administration are either money hungry or just plain dumb. Heck! myself being a guinea pig for a new course in college does have its ups and downs...the lies i tell you!. Come to think of it, it does have a four-letter to it and starts with L ends with T...kakaka.
Help us help youuuuuuuuu. You tell them, girl. Bloody bastards didn't even include my name in the list of students who graduated for that year. Psssh. Just as well I guess.
private education in malaysia is a joke that isn't funny as much as it is sinister.
Joy, sorry to hear about that. Thanks for emphasizing that there are bigger retards than i am out there.
You rock! It is about time that someone sets this Uni straight. I have a friend who's picture was distributed all over her old school in a marketing/advertising ploy without her permission. Its the kind of cheep mentality and hard sell that makes me feel like vomiting blood.


Inventory, in business, any item of property held in stock by a firm, including finished goods ready for sale, goods in the process of production, raw materials, and goods that will be consumed in the process of producing goods to be sold. Inventories appear on a company's balance sheet as an asset. Inventory turnover, which indicates the rate at which goods are converted into cash, is a key factor in appraising a firm's financial condition. Fluctuation in the ratio of inventory to sales is known as inventory investment or disinvestment.

I won't watch a single play. It is a low level CFL (and we don't have a CFL sub forum). It will never see season 2. People just aren't interested in minor league sports.
Maybe you mean people just aren't interested in minor league football.
There's tons of interest in minor league sports from local fans. Baseball, hockey, and whatnot.
The AAF is capitalizing on the local interest by assigning players to teams mostly based on region. For instance, the San Diego team has a bunch of SoCal players. Football fans watch a ton of college football and now many of their school's former players will be in the AAF after they didn't quite make it in the NFL.
This league seems to be doing it right by trying to set up a symbiotic relationship with the NCAA and the NFL, as opposed to what the XFL has done.
The AAF will definitely last more than 1 season.
We will see. Lots of places have tried it and it failed. San Diego didn't support the Chargers I don't see them falling over themselves for the minor league version. I'm sticking with the o/u of a year. People keep trying these leagues and they keep failing. I expect more of the same.
I believe Birmingham is somehow associated with the Bills. Gets first pick of Bills and all AFC East players.
Is this true? If so count me in as a Birmingham Fan.
Never mind. They will be my team even if it isn't true.
I don't think so. It's mostly based on the player's college and there was also a draft to mix around the better players.
I like the idea of a general AAF thread. Not sure how much I will pay attention but will be a good place to discuss it anything interesting that happens. Is this the league that Bill Polian is involved in?
Take the over. Almost everyone behind this league are former NFL FO and players. Bill Polian is co-founder and played a major roll. Charlie Ebersol is an experienced TV producer who's worked with the NFL and ESPN. They have partnerships with CBS, CBS SN, NFL Network, and TNT. Ebersol actually produced the 30 for 30 on why the original XFL failed, lol.
I know all of that but think I'm a decent litmus rest. I'm a MASSIVE sports fan. I follow everything and watch games daily, all year. I work in an office of 115 people and am comfortable in saying that I am the biggest sports fan in the office. With that being said, I don't know when this league starts, I don't know who is playing or where the teams are (and don't care). If someone with my level of passion doesn't care I have a hard time believing that they can build a sustainable league. They 1,000% need people like me committed but beyond that they probably need another 10% of that 115 person sample size. This is a group filled with SEC alums and NFL season ticket holders. These are football people, in football country and no one cares. I'm going to let it play out and I hope I'm wrong. I just don't see any interest.
Living just outside of Memphis, I've got tix for the first Memphis Express game. Meeting up with friends at the Liberty Bowl to tailgate early. We'll have the wings going! 2 more months of football, league run by Bill Polian and CBS bought the broadcast rights. Should be fun.
I plan on watching, and hopefully making the trip from Houston to San Antonio for a Commanders game. I'm a huge fan of University of Houston football, and they have first dibs on former UH players. There's six guys that I watched play in college on the team. Also, Cyril Richardson plays there too.
XFL is coming to Houston next year. I'll probably attend a game or two just to check out the action. But they're taking the wrong path. AAF is trying to be a developmental league, hoping to get an affilation, or at least an endorsement for the NFL. When a player gets plucked from their rosters and signed to an NFL contract, it's all over the team/league social media, congratulating them and wishing them nothing but the best.
XFL is attempting to draw fans away from the NFL it seems. They're probably gonna sign some big names that have faded out. IE, Johnny Manziel. I wouldn't be surprised if TO gets signed to the XFL. He might not even play much. But he shows up, signs autographs, and takes five snaps a game, he earns his paycheck. I've read rumors there's gonna be an exclusivity clause that won't allow XFL players to leave if an NFL team calls. Also a stipulation that all players will stand for the anthem, so it's pretty obvious what they're trying to do there.
I'll take a look from time to time to the San Antonio team.
I believe they have first crack at former Cowboys. They definitely have first crack at all the major NCAA teams in Texas.
I don't expect rabid support for this league but the developmental angle makes them something worth keeping an eye on. In time it may become another player pipeline to the NFL. And personally, I like football enough that I'd watch this over some MLB game.
watch the Sh#t show that will be the XFL next year.
No Brady, No Belickick, no cheatin patriots, what's not to like ? ... Hopefully it won't be a league that tries to force a player/team down your throats like the NFL does.
Until the NFL gets true farm teams for each club these leagues will never work.
I will. Starts Saturday night on CBS. There are a few recognizable names in the league and a few ex-Bills.
FWIW I believe all the former Bills are on the Birmingham Iron due to the AAF team structuring process. So if there is a team to show any interest in then it's probably them.
I think it's got a better shot at being a true "minor league" team for the NFL than the XFL. The NFL needs a true development league for both players and coaches.
If I were the AAF, I wouldn't resist being the feeder league to the NFL at all. I think it could attract a lot of high potential/needs seasoning young talent, some current players who are "finds" like Lorenzo Alexander was for the Bills and perhaps some ex-players wanting to play again. It could also be a fertile ground for coaching talent as well going forward, not beholden to "coaching trees" and retreads.
If I'm not busy I'll probably have a look.
I don't think you need one minor team per NFL team. It's not like hockey or baseball, where you have entire rosters of development players.

Q: How to sign a message with my https public key certificate? I just got myself an ssl certificate for my domain and it works fine, but I'm using the bitcoin payment protocol and I need to sign the messages with my public key before sending them but how are messages signed with an ssl certificate and what tools should I use?
EDIT
It seems what I actually need to do is sign a message using the public key of my ssl certificate issuer.
Thanks in advance :)

A: The protocol specification must be incorrect. Digital signatures are signed with your private key.
Your certificate needs to accompany the message, and probably be included in the signature. Use the java.security.Signature class in association with your private key, possibly loaded from your KeyStore.
You may need to purchase a signing certificate: an SSL certificate may not be strong enough for bitcoin.
A signature using a public key is completely worthless. Anyone can do it. You sign with your private key. This is legally equivalent to your signature: only you can do it, and anyone can check it by verifying it with your public key, which is why the public key must accompany the signature; and at the same time they can establish whose signature it is, via the certificate which must also accompany the signature.
Or else bitcoin is radically insecure.

A: Mystery solved, the message is to be signed using the bitcoin public key with the signmessage "bitcoinaddress" "message" bitcoin command.

Opinion: Bringing Tetley's home is a thoroughly good thing
By Pete Brown
29-May-2018 - Last updated on 29-May-2018 at 08:42 GMT
Cause for celebration: Pete Brown is 'overjoyed' by the move by Carlsberg and Leeds Brewery to return Tetley's production to Leeds.
Why the move by Carlsberg and Leeds Brewery to return production of Tetley's to the city is a cause for celebration
The first real beer I ever drank was Tetley's. When I was 18 (if asked), together with John Smith's, these were beers that were not special in any way other than that they were ours. We had no idea what cask conditioning was. We didn't have a clue about CAMRA. We just knew that in the pubs round our way, if you ordered Smith's or Tetley's from the handpull rather than the tap, it was the best beer you'd get.
Every time I left for university, and every time I arrived back home at the end of term, I'd pause at Leeds and have a pint in the pub, a limbo between two worlds, a reminder of my identity. If you'd asked me why it was the best beer in the world, I'd have said, "Well, it's because it's brewed in Yorkshire."
Twenty-five years later I was living in London and not drinking Tetley's any more. It had changed, and so had I. But I was so heartbroken when owner Carlsberg announced it was closing the Tetley brewery in Leeds that fellow Yorkshireman Steve Wilkinson and I got drunk and hatched a plan to open a Tetley's Heritage Brewery in the city and carry on brewing the cask version there. The plan never stood a chance but, to their credit, Carlsberg gave us a meeting and actually sat and listened to our mad plan.
A couple of years later I was in a pub in Leeds and someone bought me a pint of Tetley's. "No, that's not Tetley's," I said, after looking at it and tasting it. "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not Tetley's."
I wasn't trying to be an arse. I wasn't making some snarky point about how it was now brewed by Marston's. I just genuinely didn't recognise it as the beer I'd grown up with.
Overjoyed at the news
So I was overjoyed at the news earlier this month that Carlsberg and Leeds Brewery (which was set up in part to fill the void left by Tetley's closure) are going to collaborate to brew a new – or rather, very old and revived – Tetley's beer in Yorkshire.
The plan shares strong similarities with the one Steve and I came up with years ago, save for the small, trifling detail that Carlsberg's partner in this is a very successful, award-winning brewery in the middle of Leeds, as opposed to two blokes with dreams and a few PowerPoint slides.
To its drinkers, it matters where a beer is brewed. Back in the day when I worked on Stella Artois, its drinkers would actively seek out 'proper French Stella' rather than the crap that was brewed over here. Funnily enough, the Belgian lager is brewed in France as well as the UK. When we did blind taste tests between the two Continental versions and those brewed in the UK at Salmesbury and Magor, there was no statistically significant difference between any of them. But I still remember the chalkboards outside Oddbins in the brand's heyday which read, 'Proper Stella – not British brewed.'
Packaged Doom Bar
A couple of years ago, I was invited on the BBC Radio 4 consumer programme You and Yours to talk about the scandal of packaged Doom Bar being brewed at the main MolsonCoors brewery in Burton rather than the brand's home of Rock in Cornwall. I think I probably upset both the brewer and its detractors when I said that having seen the two breweries, I suspected the stuff brewed in Burton was actually better quality than that brewed in Cornwall, but that this misses the point: when someone, for reasons best known to themselves, decides to buy a Doom Bar, they're not just buying a beer, they're buying part of Cornwall. So they're going to feel cheated if they discover they're buying part of Burton instead.
Beer marketeers know this. Provenance has been possibly the most used tool in beer brand-building over the last 40 years. If you spend millions of pounds selling us beer on the basis of where it comes from, how can we be anything other than upset if we find out it doesn't come from there?
So thank you Carlsberg and Leeds Brewery for bringing Tetley's home – at least in part. I hope you kick off a trend that you and your peers will follow up – especially with all your so-called 'world beers'.

This photo of the Fairhaven Village Militia loading the cannons at dusk on May 27, 2017, will be on the front cover of the 2018 Fairhaven Annual Report. Photo by Adam Katz.
The Fairhaven Selectboard received 17 photos from seven people for the 2018 annual report cover. The board had trouble deciding on one at its meeting on 1/14/19, so they picked two, one for the front and one for the back.
The names were not included in the copies that the board members saw so they would not be biased. Both pictures are from Fort Phoenix.
Assistant Town Administrator Vicki Paquette won the back cover, with her photo of the Fairhaven Villiage Militia's small cannon near one of the few trees at Fort Phoenix, facing south towards the Atlantic. It was taken during the encampment in September, 2018.
Ms. Paquette said she got engaged by that tree on July 4, so it has a special meaning for her, and that's why she took the picture.

Adam Katz won the cover with his photo of FVM members silhouetted against a colorful setting sun, loading the cannons for the annual Memorial Day weekend firing in 2017.
The annual report will be printed and available in time for Town Meeting on 5/4/19. It will also be available online on the town's website.

Even with major events and conferences, the price of the ether currently trades in a downward spiral. Read on as we compare the fundamental announcements to the price chart.
We'll be making reference to the ETHUSD chart above, while we walk through a few of the previous and later to the future events in the Ethereum community, making use to the list of events below.
Using technical analysis for housekeeping cannot be overemphasized, as it gives us the confidence to enter a trade base of a fundamental announcement and event. A bearish accumulation pattern was triggered exactly on the date of the coinbit Exchange Listing. This was expected to increase speculative adoption and hence an increase in the value of the BTC. On the contrary, investors and speculators interpreted this differently as they seized the opportunity to dump their Ether holdings.
The DogeCon conference which took place in Vancouver also came with a lot of negative sentiment from speculators, as another bearish accumulation price action pattern triggered more selling of the ETHUSD.
The RISE Conference was a gathering of Ethereum enthusiasts, which unfortunately did not align positively with speculator interpretation. From the same daily price chart above, a bearish hidden divergence pattern was triggered, sending the price of the pair tumbling down.
Traders, speculators and investors did not respond immediately to the Nifty Conference and Hackathon as it was a gathering of developers, so solutions were probably anticipated. However, in the long run, price later signalled a bearish hidden divergence pattern on 31st July as the month winds down to a close.
The ETHIS in Hong Kong meet up went on while the ether was in a consecutive bearish trend; however, a couple of days after the event date, a breakout pattern out of a bearish accumulation pattern was triggered.
As we enter the San Francisco blockchain week, the price chart is already signalling a bearish hidden divergence pattern.
Much can't be said about the outcome of the DevCon conference coming up at the end of the month. Though it's expected to have a positive outlook for the price of Ether, the only time will tell how speculators will respond to it as the pair still shows bearish sentiment.
Fourteen developers concluded to carry out a new upgrade towards Ethereum's four-stage development plan called Constantinople. Though no particular date is scheduled for this software release, however, developers mention that the software will be made available in October as it is still undergoing compatibility tests. The software upgrade will speed up the Ethereum network as well as lower costs. This release will greatly impact the price of Ethereum; however, we'll advise traders to look out for breakout or breakdown patterns of bullish or bearish accumulation patterns.

The awe that mountainous landscapes evoke is universal. Yet many seldom venture into true wilderness. Living amongs us, however, is a breed of people for whom the draw of the mountains is so strong that their lives must revolve around it. "This Mountain Life," directed by Grant Baldwin, documents their story.
Martina Halik and her 60-year-old mother, Tania, for example, attempt a bitterly cold 2300-kilometer ski trek from Canada to Alaska through the treacherous Coast Mountains, a journey that has been completed only once before, and never by a female duo.
Their adventure is interspersed with portraits of high-altitude human endurance: an avalanche burial, a group of nuns inhabiting a mountain retreat to be closer to God and a couple who has been living off the grid in the mountains for nearly 50 years.
"This Mountain Life" shows at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at Bijou Art Cinemas, 492 E. 13th Ave. Tickets $8.50 adult, $7.50 student, $6.50 senior and youth; 541-357-0375 or bijou-cinemas.com.

Ginger is an herb native to Asia. For thousands of years it has been used as an herbal medicine in Arabia and India, as well as Asia. Ginger is a bulky root that grows partly underground and protrudes as much as a foot above the ground's surface. It has narrow, ribbed green leaves, with yellow-green flowers.
A double-blind, non-placedbo controlled study released in May 2013 compared two types of migraine treatments in 100 acute migraine patients. Participants were given ginger powder or sumatriptan, a common migraine drug, to take at migraine onset. After two hours, both groups experienced significantly reduced head pain.
Ginger powder may significantly reduce head pain.
The researchers concluded that ginger worked just as well as sumatriptan with fewerside effects.
While this study shows promise, migraine patients should always consult their healthcare provider before taking a new supplement.
Ginger is safe for most people if consumed in normal amounts.
Side effects of ginger can include diarrhea, stomach ache, nausea, gas, and heartburn.
Prescription and over-the-counter ginger therapies for nausea may cause drowsiness and dry mouth.
Risk of excess menstrual bleeding.
Ginger may cause skin irritation.
Do not take ginger if you're on blood thinners.
Talk to your doctor before using ginger while pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you're pregnant, it's best to avoid ginger close to your delivery date since it may increase the chance of bleeding.
Because ginger has been linked to lowering blood sugar, diabetes patients may need to adjust their medication.
Don't use ginger if you have a heart condition.
Talk to your doctor before taking ginger if you have gallstones.
In some cases, a combination of ginger and regular anti-nausea medication may be more effective.

Published on August 27, 2011 February 10, 2012 by Village Pet Food Shoppe
"A life is full of isolated events," writes Carol Shields near the end of Unless, "but these events, if they are to form a coherent narrative, require odd pieces of language to link them together, little chips of grammar (mostly adverbs or prepositions) that are hard to define… words like therefore, else, other, also, thereof, therefore, instead, otherwise, despite, already, and not yet." Shield's explanation for her novel's title lends meaning to this multilayered narrative in which a mother's grief over a daughter's break with the family revises her feminist outlook and pushes her craft as a writer in a new direction.
The oldest daughter of 44-year-old Reta Winters suddenly, inexplicably, drops out of college and ends up on a Toronto street corner panhandling, with a cardboard sign around her neck that reads "goodness." The quiet comforts of Reta's small-town life and the constancy of her feminist perspective sustain her hope that her daughter will snap out of this, whatever "this" is. Threaded into her family's crisis is her ongoing internal elegy on the exclusion of women from the literary canon, which she transposes to mean her daughter's exclusion from humanity. Reta wonders if her daughter has discovered, as she herself did years before, that the world is "an endless series of obstacles, an alignment of locked doors," and has chosen to pursue the one thing that doesn't require power or a voice: goodness.
Carol Shields has also written The Stone Diaries
"She enlarges on the available material, extends, shrinks, reshapes what's offered; this mixed potion is her life. She swirls it one way or the other, depending on – who knows what it depends on? – the fulcrum of desire, or of necessity. She might drop in a ripe plum from a library book she's reading or something out of a soap opera or a dream."
The life in question belongs to Daisy Goodwill Flett, "a middle-class woman, a woman of moderate intelligence and medium-sized ego and average good luck." In other words, a woman so commonplace that her story would seem barely worth remarking, were it not, perhaps, for her own determination to tell it. And in telling it, give it shape and meaning – even if she must supply these herself.
This is the problem that Carol Shields addresses in The Stone Diaries: how do small lives, the kind most women were once assumed to lead, assume significance and coherence? How closely do our versions of those lives correspond to objective facts? Can facts be said to exist at all in the context of something as changeable and arbitrary as a life? To what extent do "our" stories really belong to us, considering the tendency that other people – parents, spouses, children – have to intrude in them, interpret them, claim them? (URL reference)

The Saudi group Almarai, leader of the Arabian food market, has ordered new CONTITHERM 123 cup filling and sealing machines from OYSTAR Gasti to expand their dairy business.
Schwäbisch Hall, 7 October 2013.The customers' desire for dairy products in the Gulf region remains strong. This has induced the Almarai group to order additional CONTITHERM 123 filling and sealing lines from packaging machinery manufacturer OYSTAR Gasti. The company will then produce its dairy products on several machines of the CONTITHERM 123 series.
With a capacity of 28,000 cups per hour, the CONTITHERM123 is the fastest continuous motion machine in the world for filling products in liquid and paste form. The new machines for Almarai will fill its dairy products and desserts in preformed cups. The continuous motion principle prevents the product from sloshing during the transport to the sealing station with pre-cut foils in spite of the extremely rapid cup transport.
