Secretary of the Navy stressed local education last year
Rick Outzen October 16, 2019
While Superintendent of Schools Malcolm Thomas scoffed at commanding officer at NAS Pensacola for telling local business leaders that service people are hesitant to move to Escambia County because of its weak public education system, Capt. Tim Kinsella was following the lead of the Secretary of Navy and other military service secretaries.
"…the factors military families cite most frequently as drawbacks to military service include military dependent's difficulty assimilating into local school systems following a duty station transfer, the quality of schools available for their children…"–letter signed by Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer
Last Thursday at the Pensacola Chamber's State of the Military luncheon, Capt. Kinsella said, "There are military families that do not want to be stationed here because of education. The families that have school-aged children, the first thing that they look at when they see that they have orders to Pensacola, 'What are the schools like?'So then they say, 'I don't want to go there.'"
On Monday, Thomas attacked Kinsella, "The part about you have to make a choice to serve your country or have your child receive a good education I find very disparaging and disappointing coming from someone in his position."
On February 23, 2018, the Secretary of the Army Mark T. Esper, Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer, and Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson sent to the National Governors Association a letter outlining ways state leadership could better support service members.
The letter stressed the importance of the quality of schools near bases to military families.
"While focus on the mission is always our priority, the factors military families cite most frequently as drawbacks to military service include military dependent's difficulty assimilating into local school systems following a duty station transfer, the quality of schools available for their children, and the ability of spouses to obtain jobs and sustain careers," wrote the three military service secretaries.
Read letter.
Editor's note: Thomas needs to quit attacking military leadership. Military families aren't wrong for wanting better public schools and basing their preferences for assignments on the quality of schools near the base.

Corornavirus: Salvation Army providing groceries for families affected by COVID-19
Earl Hopkins
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The Salvation Army of Evansville and other community organizations have stepped up to provide assistance to the many community members experiencing job loss and financial instablity becaus of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the Salvation Army of Evansville will distribute groceries to local families at 1040 N. Fulton Ave between 5-8 p.m. The community organization, in partnership with the Tri-State and Midwest food banks, will give out fruits, vegetables, canned goods, butter and one frozen meat item.

"We're trying to get (groceries) in families' homes that need them as quickly as possible," said Loren Carter, Salvation Army development coordinator. "It's our desire to serve our community, and this is a great collaboration."
Each household will be asked to have one family member show their picture ID and name the remaining members of their immediate family. And as they pickup their food items, locals are advised to stay in their cars to remain within social distancing guidelines.
Depending on the number of resources available to families, Carter said the organization will look to have more drive-thru food distributions in the coming weeks.
"If there's a food surplus generated in the food bank operations, it very well could be a second or third operation in the future," he said.

Paddy cultivation in Sri Lanka - Sinhala Essay for grade.
Rice is the staple nourishment of Sri Lanka and in that capacity, paddy development is given most extreme significance in the agribusiness business. Antiquated and customary ranchers were independent in rice creation and old Ceylon is said to have been among the principal paddy exporters on the planet. Paddy generation in the nation prospered amid the rule of Sri Lankan lords, who cultivated.
The most widely practiced farming system in Sri Lanka is lowland paddy farming. Lowland can be defined as areas, which receive enough water or which can be irrigated. The lowland also called Wel yaya and is mainly cultivated with rice. In lowlands, rice is the dominant crop both in terms of land use and dietary importance, and it has been the backbone of Sri Lanka's agriculture over 2500.
The primary form of agriculture in Sri Lanka is rice production. Rice is cultivated during Maha and Yala seasons. Tea is cultivated in the central highlands and is a major source of foreign exchange. Vegetables, fruits and oilseed crops are also cultivated in the country. There are two Agriculture Parks abbreviated as A.Parks established by the Department of Agriculture. Out of the total.
Rice is the staple food of Sri Lanka and as such, paddy cultivation is given utmost importance in the agriculture industry. Ancient and traditional farmers were self-sufficient in rice production and ancient Ceylon is said to have been among the foremost paddy exporters in the world. Paddy production in the country flourished during the reign of Sri Lankan kings, who fostered and nurtured.
About 1.8 million farm families are engaged in paddy cultivation island-wide. Sri Lanka currently produces 2.7 million t of rough rice annually and satisfies around 95 percent of the domestic requirement. Rice provides 45% total calorie and 40% total protein requirement of an average Sri Lankan. The per capita consumption of rice fluctuates around 100 kg per year depending on the price of rice.
Average yield of paddy: Average yield of paddy in Sri Lanka at district level is estimated by means of a sample survey which is popularly known as "the crop cutting survey" initiated with the assistance of FAO in 1951. At present a sample of 3,000 villages for the main season (Maha) and 2,000 villages for the second season (Yala) are selected to carry out experiments.
Sri Lanka's legendary harvests once brought it fame as the Granary of the East. Historical records tell us that paddy was cultivated in Anuradhapura in 161 BC and flourished there until 1017 AD. Today, it is cultivated across the Island. As society evolved, activities and people close to the heart of paddy cultivation rose to prominence. By keeping the Island fed, the goviyas or paddy farmers.

Home People Literature and the Arts Classical Literature: Biographies C.S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis
Encyclopedia of World Biography
The British novelist and essayist Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was an established literary figure whose impact is increasingly recognized by scholars and teachers.
On November 29, 1898, Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland. He was the son of A. J. Lewis, a solicitor, and Flora August Hamilton Lewis, whose father was a clergyman. The death of his mother occurred when he was a child. After spending a year in studies at Malvern College, he continued his education privately under the tutelage of W. T. Kirkpatrick, formerly headmaster of Lurgan College.
During World War I he served as a second lieutenant in the infantry, interrupting his career as scholar begun in 1918 at University College, Oxford. Wounded in the war, he returned to Oxford, where in 1924 he was appointed lecturer at University College. In 1925 he was appointed fellow and tutor at Magdalen College, England, where he lectured on English literature.
Lewis early grew disillusioned with religion and only later "converted" to Christianity, joining the Anglican Church. Taciturn about the details of his early life, his autobiography, Surprised by joy: The Shape of My Early Life, fails to provide enlightenment and leaves the Lewis scholar to speculations about his childhood and early disenchantment with emotional Christianity. Perhaps his headmaster, a clergyman who urged him to "think" by application of the rod, contributed to his dissuasion.
His autobiography does reveal, however, that he had little interest in sports as a boy and that he was a voracious reader. Among his early favorite authors was G. K. Chesterton who was himself a paradoxical and religious writer.
Widely read as an adult, his knowledge of literature was prodigious and made of him a superb conversationalist much sought after for his company. Lewis thoroughly enjoyed sitting up into the wee hours in college rooms" … talking nonsense, poetry, theology, and metaphysics over beer, tea, and pipes."
His subjects at Oxford were medieval and Renaissance English literature, in which he became a scholar, lecturer, and tutor of renown. His reputation was made secure by his English Literature in the 16th Century (1954) and Experiment in Criticism (1961). Aside from scholarly writings, his output included science-fiction, children's stories, and religious apology.
In 1926 his first publication, Dymer, a narrative versification in Rime Royal, appeared under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton. Dymer revealed something of his satirical gift. The Pilgrims' Regress, an allegory published in 1933, presented an apology for Christianity. It was not until the appearance of his second allegorical work, The Allegory of Love (1936), however, that Lewis received acclaim by winning the coveted Hawthornden prize.
His Pilgrims' Regress is a work of allegorical science fiction, in which a philologist is kidnapped by evil scientists. The Screwtape Letters (1942), for which he is perhaps best known, is a satire in which the devil, here known as Screwtape, writes letters instructing his young nephew, Wormwood, how to tempt souls to damnation.
Of his seven religious allegories for children titled Chronicles of Narnia (1955) he commented that, "stories of this kind could steal past … inhibitions which had dissuaded him from his own religion." … "An obligation to feel can freeze feeling." His later rejoining of Christianity was philosophical, not emotional.
Lewis was married, rather late in life, in 1956, to Joy Davidman Gresham, the daughter of a New York Jewish couple. She was a graduate of Hunter College and for a time belonged to the Communist Party. She had previously been married twice. When her first husband suffered a heart attack, she turned to prayer. Reading the writings of Lewis, she began to attend Presbyterian services. Later, led by his writings to Lewis himself, she divorced her second husband, Williams Gresham, left the Communist Party, and married Lewis. Her death proceeded her husband's by some three years. C. S. Lewis died, at his home in Headington, Oxford, on November 24, 1963. A major collection of his works is held by Wheaton College in Illinois.
Lewis's autobiography Surprised by Joy (1955) was written at age 57. Later biographical information is contained in Letters of C. S. Lewis (1966) as edited by W. H. Lewis. Further insights to the artist's life are provided in C. S. Lewis at the Breakfast Table and other Reminiscences (1979), edited by James T. Como. C. S. Lewis's works include: "Out of the Silent Planet" (1938); "Rehabilitations" (1939); "The Personal Heresy" with E. M. W. Tillyard (1939); "A Preface to Paradise Lost" (1942); "The Case for Christianity" (1942); "Perelandra" (1943); "Christian Behavior" (1943); "Abolition of Man" (1943); "Beyond Personality" (1944); "That Hideous Strength" (1945); "Miracles" (1947); "Weight of Glory" (1949); "Mere Christianity" (1952); and "Studies in Words" (1960). □

Lewis, Clive Staples
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions
© The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions 1997, originally published by Oxford University Press 1997.
Lewis, Clive Staples (1898–1963). British scholar of English literature, writer and Christian apologist. As an Oxford don in the 1920s, C. S. Lewis moved from atheism to committed Christianity, specifically to an evangelical Anglicanism. His most popular Christian works are The Screwtape Letters (1942), relating the advice given by a senior devil to his subordinate in luring a human subject away from salvation; Mere Christianity (1952, but originally a series of radio talks begun in 1941); and his spiritual autobiography Surprised by Joy. A science-fiction trilogy (1938–45) and the seven children's books known as the Chronicles of Narnia (1950–6) incorporate Christian themes allegorically. The death of his wife, Joy Davidson, evoked the searching record of his grief, A Grief Observed (first publ. under the name N. W. Clerk).

Literary historian, Christian apologist, scholar, critic, writer of science fiction and children's books; b. Belfast, Ireland, Nov. 29, 1898; d. the Kilns, Headington, England, Nov. 22, 1963. His father was Albert James Lewis, a solicitor; his mother Florence Augusta Hamilton. They had two sons, Warren and Clive, who at an early age changed his name to "Jack." Before he was 10 his mother died of cancer, and the two boys were on their own, being somewhat estranged from their father. In 1917 Lewis prepared for entrance into Oxford University but World War I found him commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Somerset Light Infantry. He arrived at the front line trenches on his 19th birthday Nov. 29, 1917, soon afterwards seeing service at Fampoux and Monchy, and was wounded at Mt. Bemechon, near Lillers, in April 1918.
He returned to Oxford in January 1919 and on June 25, 1925, was elected to official fellowship in Magdalen College as tutor in English Language and Literature. He remained at Oxford until 1954. Passed over for the Merton Chair of English Literature in 1947 and defeated in 1951 for the Professorship of Poetry, he finally accepted in 1954 the Professorship of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Magdalene College in Cambridge. Soon after, Oxford awarded him an honorary fellowship.
In 1956 Lewis married Joy Gresham Davidman, who died in 1960 of bone cancer. Lewis described this most difficult experience in A Grief Observed (1961).
Prior to 1929 Lewis had considered himself an atheist or at least an agnostic, and had published two books of poetry in that vein, but his conversion to theism in 1929 and to Christianity in 1931 resulted in his first book on apologetics: The Pilgrim's Regress (1933). Using John Bunyan's classic as a model, Lewis enucleated one of his major themes: the idea of longing, disquietude, yearning, Sehnsucht, for the eternal which no earthly thing can satisfy since our hearts are restless for the Eternal. Following Saint augustine, the pseudo-dionysius, and Pascal, Lewis asserts that earthly pleasures, being unsatisfactory, can only point to an everlasting heavenly pleasure. This theme is repeated in the Chronicles of Narnia (1950–56), a series of children's books treating traditional topics but translating them into an imaginary kingdom of people and animals. Aslan, the lion and king of beasts, represents a Christ figure.
Lewis's two most popular works are The Screwtape Letters (1942), a series of letters from the devil to his undersecretary in hell, Wormwood, on how to win a Christian from the fold, and Mere Christianity (1952), a summation of talks from the British Broadcasting Series that made Lewis famous during World War II.
Elsewhere, Lewis deals with the imperatives of the moral law, and in The Abolition of Man (1943) asserts that ethical commands (the Tao) are not merely written in the heart, but into the very structure of the universe itself. The Great Divorce (1945) records a series of conversations between various visitors from hell who are allowed to make an excursion to heaven, and for the most part decide not to remain there. The Problem of Pain (1940) contains some interesting analyses of evolution, primitive societies, animal pain, and the existence of hell. Various kinds of love (The Four Loves 1960), prayer (Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer 1964), insights into the Psalms (Reflections on the Psalms 1958), and theological questions on sin and redemption arising on other planets not yet or about to be tempted (Out of the Silent Planet 1938; Perelandra 1943; and That Hideous Strength 1945), are just a few of the many topics which Lewis dealt with. Some consider his best work to be the novel Till We Have Faces (1956), a story of the soul based on the Greek legend of Psyche.
Lewis is widely remembered not so much for his scholarly expertise in medieval and Renaissance English literature (brilliantly demonstrated in the Oxford History of English Literature 1966), but for his popular writings in defense of traditional Christianity, and in this he is not infrequently compared to G. K. chesterton and Hilaire Belloc. Quite orthodox in content but very original in style it is their direct "ad hominem" approach which has helped to make his books so lasting in their appeal.

Have a closer listen to A Town In Fear's lyrics and you will hear that underneath all of the metal brutality, there is a sensitivity — a thoughtfulness that they have about the world around them. The band's debut album 'Traditions' will be released this week, a record they have promised will be an honest account of "how this world truly is", inspired by nostalgia, loss, perseverance, confrontation, families, perspectives, and realization. Speaking to vocalist Linus Sebastian, we hear about their appreciation for the people who have made them who they are today and their journey as a band so far.
Congratulations on releasing an album! Tell us a little more about 'Traditions'.
'Traditions' is a record very close to our hearts. It's very much about our lives, families and friends who have gone through this journey with us throughout the span of nearly 3 years now. We are really grateful for all the undying support they have showered upon us and this is our way of giving back to them.
We recorded the album locally with the very handsome Ron from Blueprint Studios. It was a great experience for us going through the whole recording process and we wouldn't trade it for the world! When we started writing the record, there were a 101 things we could have written about but what hit us was the fact that we wanted our music and lyrics to be as honest as possible and we wanted people out there to "feel" what we feel.
How long was the whole process of releasing this album?
Recording took about 3 to 4 months to complete, mix and then master. It was a rather tiring process because we had to do it song by song and this dragged for days, and then months. But the outcome was fantastic! We got what we wanted and once that was done, we had to get our heads and minds out and really go all out to market the album and the launch. It is great, we've had a lot of support from the media. We are really grateful and tomorrow will be the day of reckoning! We will bring fear to the launch!
The band have been together for almost three years now. What are some of the best, and some of the hardest moments you've had together?
Being as a band isn't easy at all, we go through a lot of ups and downs but we always try to laugh it off and take everything with a smile — life's too short for squabbles!
We have been through a few line up changes because some members had their own agendas in life and things they wanted to accomplish and I think the only thing we can do is to respect their decisions. It was cool because they all paved ways for what A Town In Fear is today, musically. We are a bunch of friends with different tastes for music, coming together to write our own music! This really broadens our views and perspectives about the sound we want to create and gives us space and room to find our own sound. It's an awesome feeling when you achieve what you set out to achieve.
Best moment — well maybe tomorrow, at the launch?
What is the best advice you've ever received as a band? Anything you'd like to share?
We have honestly received quite a lot of advice along the way. People supporting us, and others putting us down. But what really matters is that we learn from all this advice and improve as a band! Perhaps the most guidance we have had along our musical journey would be the advice given to us by our families and friends, and not forgetting our producer Ron.
Throughout the recording process, Ron was always there to guide us and provide us with the feedback we need from a consumer's point of view, which was important to us as artists because we needed those "extra ears" to help us decipher the 'thumbs up' from the 'thumbs not so up' moments.
Perhaps one piece of advice we want to share with you as a band, is that you should never give up on anything no matter what, and aways keep trying for your goals, because one day you might just reach them!
What should we be expecting at your album launch tomorrow?
Total CHAOS! It's going to be really exciting being able to perform our album at the launch for our families and friends! Also not forgetting the other bands from all ends of the musical spectrum who will be gracing the evening with us!
Expect moshing, circle pits, head-banging, crowd surfing and two-stepping going on in the crowd. There will be moments of sheer brutality and there will times where we take you to another horizon of calmness and the diversity that music as to offer.

COVID-19 Found in Semen -- What Does That Mean?
— Jury still out on implications for sexual transmission
by Molly Walker, Associate Editor, MedPage Today May 7, 2020
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was found in the semen of a minority of men with COVID-19 infection in China, including recovering patients, researchers found.
Of 38 patients who provided a semen sample, six patients had SARS-CoV-2 detected in their semen, including four in the acute phase of infection and two who were recovering, reported Weiguo Zhao, MD, of the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital in Beijing, and colleagues.
But there was no significant difference in age, urogenital disease history, days since symptom onset, hospitalization, or clinical recovery between negative and positive tests, the authors wrote in a research letter in JAMA Network Open.
Amesh Adalja, MD, spokesperson for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, characterized the findings as "interesting," but added that it is unclear what the implications of the findings are.
"This does not translate to sexual transmission; it hasn't been proven," Adalja told MedPage Today. "The majority of people are getting [COVID-19] through respiratory transmission."
He added that the epidemiology of the virus doesn't fit with it being sexually transmitted, and that he had not seen or heard about other coronaviruses being sexually transmitted.
But it could be through oral sexual contact, he said, as there are "receptors in common," although studies in epidemiology would be required to support it.
The new finding also sheds no light on whether the virus could infect a developing fetus, Adalja said, noting earlier reports of coronaviruses in the placenta and causing placental insufficiency.
"Rubella causes fetal infection and it's a respiratory virus, but it's not acquired sexually," Adalja said.
Zhao and colleagues examined data from male patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, ages 15 and older, with semen samples collected from Jan. 26 to Feb. 16.
Of the 38 patients enrolled, 23 had recovered and 15 were at the acute stage of infection. Patients who tested positive ranged in age from their 20s to 50s, with 6 to 16 days since onset of symptoms. Only one patient had urogenital disease, and two had coronary heart disease.
The researchers cited lack of detailed information about viral shedding, time, and concentration in semen as potential limitations. They added that if it is proved SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted sexually, then "abstinence or a condom" may be part of prevention efforts in the future, and further studies are needed to monitor fetal development.

That would be the grass seed spread on the front woods lawn to the back and side of the 'Michael Palin' oak and new flower bed on Sunday last. So we did. He watered in repeated trips with a watering can, and I weeded and did some spot watering on the half circle bed in the woods, as well as somehow finding time to trim the tops of the side elevation bed's currant bushes, thoroughly watering the raised bed with edible cherry, black currant and strawberries. (Amazing how currant trimmings actually smell like black currants! Try it! You'll be amazed.) The espalier cherry are setting fruit, as are the currants and also the strawberries. There, hidden, nestled at ground level you could just about see the pale white unripe strawberries – still forming but most hopefully making their presence known. Yum!
And on we went until the mister thought he'd done enough watering and we were good to go. At which point I retrieved a portion of 'found' wooden lattice trellis to use as framing for our new plot – to divide the edge from the one in front of us, which presents a 3 foot drop from our level, and some of it into a sunken cast iron bathtub full of green slippery slimy growth and toads' tadpoles. Gadzooks it's dangerous. A restraining edge, trellis border, is most definitely required. And off we set.
We didn't manage to swap keys or get an extra set, but we did go to the spot – still sunny in early evening. We dropped by the plot just in time to witness a tiny hummingbird flitting between our front facing allotment neighbour's apple and fig tree. This little hummingbird was gorging itself, and was uncharacteristically for a hummingbird landing on slender branches to rest, panting, and catch its breath. Hummingbird H.Q. might be a good name for our new 'territory.' The mister is a hummingbird – chocolate and whipped cream doughnuts do nothing to put an ounce on him. Nor second dinners. Nor cookies after dinner either. Oh my!
So we hung out, he had a can of cold stuff, I watered our row of raspberries. A little crimson-breasted robin dropped in to check us out. We discovered a different kind of raspberry altogether from the main 'legacy' bed of the former allotmenteers. Nestled in (buried) under wild blackberry vines that run along the other side of the arbor to the small red roses was a darker, woodier type of raspberry, with fruit clearly developing and leaves more rounded and somehow 'furrier.' The other main legacy patch is full of tender green tall and upright raspberry canes, but no fruit or flower bracts to speak of (yet – fingers crossed). And thus discovered did some un-covering and removed the blackberry brambles and revealed the singleton woodier raspberry and then duly watered it – fare thee well my sweet! Grow and prosper. The fruit is already set. We just have to hope to be able to taste them when they ripen – or in other words, to hope that the birds don't get them first.
Another discovery was the fact that the large clump of flat broad leafed plant to the side of the raspberries is a type of small flowered yellow iris. A wilder kind than the large blousey blue iris on the back patch.
And that was enough for one night. It was getting on into the evening and it was time to amble back home. Dinnertime.


Saudi Aramco's 400,000 barrel per day export-oriented refinery in Jizan will begin operations in 2018 at the earliest, but the complexity of the project means it is hard to predict when crude products will hit the market.
The Jizan refinery, located in the remote southwestern Jizan province of Saudi Arabia on the border of Yemen, is starting to rise from the ground and some of the first long-lead items have arrived, says Suleman Al Bargan, general manager of the Jizan refinery complex, at a briefing in Jizan.
The 400,000 bpd scheme is the third in Aramco's recent downstream push, but it will be the first the state-run firm will tackle on its own.
At the peak, there will be 70,000 people on site to build the refinery and associated economic city, making it Aramco's biggest project without a partner.
Aramco was assigned to take on the project in 2010 by the government after efforts to offer the project to the private sector flopped. Two other similar-sized $10 billion facilities, Satorp in Jubail and Yasref in Yanbu, were joint ventures with Total and Sinopec respectively. Satorp came fully on stream in 2014 and Yasref is steadily ramping up production.
Jizan will be a semi-conversion refinery, making it less complex than the full conversion Satorp and Yasref plants, which have an additional coker unit to process heavy ends into more valuable products.
But Jizan is part of a massive integrated facility, covering 16 square kilometres, that links to the world's largest gasification power scheme, which will double the current production capacity of the south of Saudi Arabia. All will be located in the 106 sq km Jizan Economic City (JEC), part of an initiative by the late King Abdullah in 2006 to bring jobs to one of the poorest parts of the kingdom. The gasification plant will take the vacuum residue from the refinery, which is typically used to make fuel oil or coke, and create gas feedstock to run a massive 4 gigawatt power plant. The power plant will send between 2.2-2.6 GW to the local market with the rest being used for the industrial complex, Al Bargan says.
Aramco awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the power plant and gasification unit last April, and the contractors are 60 per cent through the detailed design phase, the official says.
All plants will need to be built, commissioned and started up in concert with each other – in one of the most remote parts of Saudi Arabia that has little experience with the oil industry. Taken together, Al Bargan says Jizan could be a higher degree of difficulty than Yasref or Satorp, which took almost a year to ramp up to full production.
"Gasification is a fairly new concept for Aramco and definitely for the Mideast. Using synthetic gas from a refinery to produce 4 GW of power is really unique," he says. Aramco inked EPC contracts for the refinery in 2012, but the project has faced a number of setbacks, pushing it back from its planned 2016 finish date.
Changes in scope to the project, including adding the gasification plant, have resulted in contractor delays. Several contractors including SK Engineering, which is building the crude distillation unit, have demanded higher payments from Aramco to cover the changes, with the state firm relenting and agreeing to pay some $200 million more instead of cancelling the contract as it threatened to do in December, Middle East Economic Survey reported.
The construction on the refinery is scheduled to be complete by end-2017, and then it will take at least six months to ramp up production, Al Bargan says. That means first products will be likely in the second half of the year. The refinery will process Arabian Heavy and Arabian Medium crude to produce gasoline, ultra-low-sulfur diesel, benzene and paraxylene. Crude will be supplied by tankers, not pipeline. Some products will be used locally, while others will be exported.
Aramco was also assigned to handle the first phase of the JEC in 2013 after the developer was dismissed. In addition to the refinery, gasification plant and power station, it is responsible for the new deepwater port, along with the water, sewage, roads and power infrastructure to service the whole city.

Die einsteinsche Summenkonvention ist eine Konvention zur Notation mathematischer Ausdrücke innerhalb des Ricci-Kalküls und stellt eine Indexschreibweise dar. Dieser Kalkül wird in der Tensoranalysis, der Differentialgeometrie und insbesondere in der theoretischen Physik verwendet. Die Summenkonvention wurde 1916 von Albert Einstein eingeführt. Mit ihr werden die Summenzeichen zur Verbesserung der Übersicht einfach weggelassen und stattdessen wird über doppelt auftretende Indizes summiert.

Motivation
In der Matrix- und Tensorrechnung werden oft Summen über Indizes gebildet. Zum Beispiel lautet das Matrizenprodukt zweier -Matrizen  und  in Komponenten:

Hier wird über den Index  von 1 bis  summiert. Treten mehrere Matrizenmultiplikationen, Skalarprodukte oder andere Summen in einer Rechnung auf, kann dies schnell unübersichtlich werden. Mit der einsteinschen Summenkonvention lautet die Rechnung von oben dann:

Formale Beschreibung
Im einfachsten Fall der Summenkonvention gilt: Über doppelt auftretende Indizes innerhalb eines Produkts wird summiert. In der Relativitätstheorie gilt als zusätzliche Regel: Summiert wird nur, wenn der Index sowohl als oberer (kontravarianter) als auch als unterer (kovarianter) Index auftritt.

Die Summenkonvention verringert vor allem den Schreibaufwand. Teilweise hilft sie dabei, bestehende Zusammenhänge und Symmetrien hervorzuheben, die in der konventionellen Summenschreibweise nicht so leicht erkennbar sind.

Beispiele

Ohne Beachtung der Indexstellung
In den folgenden Beispielen stehen  für  Matrizen mit Einträgen  und  für dazu passende Vektoren.
 Standardskalarprodukt .
 Anwendung einer Matrix auf einen Vektor: .
 Produkt mehrerer (hier 4) Matrizen: .
 Spur einer Matrix A: .

Unter Berücksichtigung der Indexstellung

 Das Produkt  zweier Tensoren mit Tensorkomponenten  und  ist .

Income tax history provides many lessons on both the effects and perils of high rates.
Given the high levels of uncertainty surrounding inequality measurement and ongoing improvements to each technique, common sense should caution us against adopting a sweeping tax code overhaul based on such an ambiguous and disputed statistical record.
The historical narrative we've been hearing is both simplistic and wrong. It relies upon a confusion between the statutory tax rate (i.e., the number that's on the statute books) and the effective tax rate (i.e., the percentage of income that people actually pay once exemptions, deductions, and other tax-code incentives are accounted for).
Conventional wisdom says that inequality in the United States is spiraling out of control. But what do the data actually say?
Economists are often asked to render economic advice to foreign nations. Sometimes these countries are ruled by dictators. That presents a moral quandary.
Sears played an important role in circumventing the institutionalized racial discrimination of the Jim Crow South.
What a recent academic hoax reveals is a pervasive problem of declining scholarly rigor afflicting certain parts of the academy.
Non-left students may also perceive that the decks are stacked against them on the academic career path, and unfortunately there's emerging evidence of this problem.
The real story of New Deal income tax policy is a revenue grab sustained by the expansion of income tax eligibility and enforcement onto the masses.
Far from a vindication, the mid-20th century experience of the United States actually points to the futility of using confiscatory tax rates to counteract inequality.


The lead-up to the big reveals at Comic-Con International continue. We got some new Aquaman news this morning, and now Entertainment Weekly has shared another new image from Shazam!
The movie is rumored to drop its first trailer this coming weekend in Hall H during the Warner Bros. presentation. At the moment it's unclear whether or not this footage will be officially released outside of the convention, but considering how much hype some publications are giving this, maybe we will see something released to everyone.
Star Zachary Levi continues to look like a giant dork in all of the images we're getting from this movie, which is a nice change of pace compared to previous DC properties. The variety of tone is what's going to keep these movies interesting, and DC could use a movie with a similar tone to Ant-Man.

Q: How do you save a MySQL query result into a variable in c I have the below MySQL query which when done in the MySQL console shows the correct result.  I can't figure out how to store the result into a variable in my c program however.
Here is the code that I type into the MySQL interface:
mysql> SELECT id FROM Stations where name = 'AE0';

This is what it returns:
+----+
| id |
+----+
|  1 |
+----+

I need the above value of '1' stored into a variable in my c program.  The MySQL query is called from my c program using this code:
MYSQL_RES *result;
MYSQL_ROW row;
length=sprintf(query,"SELECT id FROM Stations where name ='AE0'");
myquery(conn,query,length);
result=mysql_store_result(conn);
row=mysql_fetch_row(result);

I'm unsure if the value I'm looking for is stored in 'result', whether it is or isn't, how can I find it and save it into an integer?

A: short answer:
int i = atoi(row[0]);

long answer:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-fetch-row.html
Returns a MYSQL_ROW.  You then have to iterate through the row to get each value.  Those values are strings, so you'll need to convert them to int with atoi().  This is demonstrated in the code below (except the atoi() call) shamelessly stolen from the link above:
MYSQL_ROW row;
unsigned int num_fields;
unsigned int i;

num_fields = mysql_num_fields(result);
while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)))
{
   unsigned long *lengths;
   lengths = mysql_fetch_lengths(result);
   for(i = 0; i < num_fields; i++)
   {
       printf("[%.*s] ", (int) lengths[i],
              row[i] ? row[i] : "NULL");
   }
   printf("\n");

The Lizard King: David Yow on Three Decades of Music and Mayhem
Written By Kenny Herzog
| June 27, 2013 - 3:14 pm | Updated 8 years ago
Home » Features » Interviews » The Lizard King: David Yow on Three Decades of Music and Mayhem
Speaking from his current home city of Los Angeles, David Yow answers his cell with a cartoonishly protracted, "Yeeeeaaahhhello" that sounds deceptively like the start of an outgoing voice mail. But it is indeed the former Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid frontman, live and on the line. He's in a good mood, and why not? Despite more than 30 years of literally bleeding for his art on-stage as the volatile singer for the aforementioned avant-punk bands, a self-confessed ravenous appetite for alcohol, and the usual music-industry trip-ups, he has survived to create another day.
On June 25, Yow released his inaugural solo record, a 15-years-in-the-making opus of mad-scientist cacophony titled Tonight You Look Like a Spider (Joyful Noise). The restless 52-year-old has also kept busy acting in a string of independent films over the past several years, in addition to his work as a commercial graphic designer, painter, and video artist.
Yow shared his insights about all the above, as well as what he learned sharing a movie set with Insane Clown Posse.
If you want to make a living doing any of the arts, good motherfucking luck.
In the last several years, I've been making an extremely concerted effort to do paintings and drawings and, at this point, I'm kind of a working actor. There's a lot of luck, because it's a ridiculous business to try and get into. I've been really fortunate as far as that goes. It's the dream come true, to be able to pay your bills — which I can't always do — through what you actually love doing. There are a percentage of people who can say they do that, but it's so low.
Hear Insane Clown Posse's New Halloween Jam 'Wretched'
It's not really important whether people like your record.
But I am interested in opinions, because I have to accept all the blame. With Scratch Acid and Jesus Lizard, it wasn't really important to me if people liked it. It's funny, there have only been about four reviews now [of Spider], and they're all really positive, and it's surprising the fuck out of me. A few weeks ago, my girlfriend was getting angry with me because she thinks I'm putting myself down when I say I don't expect anyone to like this record. And I would tell her, "I'm not putting myself down at all. I think it's good. I like it a lot, but I don't expect anyone else to like it." But then it's funny, the things people are saying are really favorable, and I'm getting a huge kick out of it. Maybe I'll be an asshole and just dismiss negative stuff.
Not having to ask anybody's permission to do anything is completely liberating.
It was a long time ago when I first started working on [Tonight You Look Like a Spider], but I remember coming up with "Opening Suite" and I was fucking giddy. I was giggling and laughing. At the time I was married and I was living in Indiana, and I was so proud of myself. I called my wife down to listen to it, and she kind of looked at me when it was over and went back upstairs and didn't say a word. But in the meantime, I was thrilled. It was really nice not having to worry about stepping on anyone's toes, or "Did they like this part?" or "I don't like that idea of this." There was no collaboration whatsoever.
With Scratch Acid and Jesus Lizard, I learned everything I was gonna learn a few months into it.
Whereas I really feel like acting will be a learning process as long as I do it. I hope that I'm doing it up until it's checking-out time. Some of the people I've worked with and some of the things I've gotten to do with acting have been very exciting. It's so fun and so rewarding to finish a scene, and I hardly even feel like it was me in the scene. It's kind of magical. I get a huge charge out of that.
It's acceptable to pay homage to the people who you respect but, ideally, you metamorphose from that.
It's a normal process, particularly when you're young, to pay great homage to the people who you are influenced by. It's natural, at that time, for those influences to be more obvious than you might want. I remember with really early Scratch Acid, there was some live recording I heard it and I was going, "Oh my fucking God, I gotta stop that," because it sounded like I was trying to be Birthday Party Nick Cave — which I was. Eventually, stuff changes.
ICP have got some sort of smarts.
The tiny bit of music I've heard of theirs is complete garbage, but they're really fucking rich, and it's all through merchandise. It's bizarre. An old friend of mine from Chicago named Paul Andreesen was directing that Insane Clown Posse movie [2010's comedy-western Big Money Rustlas], and he got in touch with me and said, "Hey, you wanna be in a Western?" And I said, "Yes I do." It was just gonna be this tiny little part. I'd heard of Insane Clown Posse, but I wouldn't have known it was the guys with the black-and-white makeup. I pretty much just hung out [on set] with all the old bearded extras who play bikers cowboys in movies and stuff.
Major labels brainstorm about the most retarded shit.
I still don't understand why on earth there were Jesus Lizard shopping bags. For instance, when [1998's] Blue came out on Capitol, they made blue shopping bags. I don't know what the deal was with blue bags, but they were like, "Well, ya know, blue bags." And I'm going, "Wha?" So they had these blue plastic shopping bags with our name on it, and it went completely over my head.
There are still a lot of people who think I'm a lunatic.
Maybe sometimes after a little brown liquor, but for the most part, I'm pretty even-keeled. I remember I was doing an interview in England, and at the end of the interview, the guy goes [in mock British accent], "Right, well one last question: Is David Yow mad?" I thought it was so ridiculous that he would speak to me in the third person or whatever. It was melodramatic British journalism. And then asking if I was mad after talking to me for 45 minutes where it was clear I'm the nicest guy he ever met.

The previous book by this gifted Vietnamese author, South Wind Changing, was a Time Magazine Best Book of the Year and a bestseller in America, and was a memoir of his escape from torture and degradation in a Vietcong concentration camp to a new life in America. His second book, a novel, is also set in wartime Vietnam, and is the harrowing yet sensitively-told story of Mai, a young Vietnamese woman, who escapes from violence and abuse under the new regime in South Vietnam to begin a new life in the U.S. But her past follows her wherever she goes, and she carries her pain and guilt with her like a scar till she makes her final decision to accept her destiny.

Sri Lanka's Buzzing Emerging City Trincomalee
Facts about Sri Lanka / By Sanjeewa Padmal (Seerendipity)
Bentota, Kandy and Colombo in the bucket list of every traveller, but only one in 10 come across the vibrant, buzzing city of Trincomalee in the eastern coast of Sri Lanka.
In 2006, the government of Sri Lanka withdrew from the peace deal, which signed with rebels, and started to attack rebels in order to get the control of North-East Sri Lanka, which was unofficially governed by the rebels for 30 years. After nearly three years of the successful campaign (2009), the government forces were able to abolish the unofficial authority of the rebels in the region.
The pristine beaches of Trincomalee are included in most Sri Lanka trips to east coast such as 7 days Sri Lanka tour and 5 days Sri Lank trip.
The island was visited about 500,000 tourists a year during the 30 years war on the island, the number of foreign visitors on the island was constantly on the rise since the end of the war, last year number of travellers on the island was recorded as 2 million, up from only 500,000 a decade ago. And while the places such as Bentota, Galle, Colombo and Kandy in the list of must-visit places for every traveller, only one in 20 visits Trincomalee or Trinco for short, a vibrant, hot, buzzing city of nearly a half a million in the district of Trincomalee, in the country's east.
Eastern Sri Lanka, you see, suffers a bad image as an underdeveloped part of Sri Lanka perpetuated by news shown to the world during the war. From 1983 to 2009, Trinco was among the most dangerous cities in the world-hot bed of abduction, bombs, guns, drugs, and violence.
After 2009 crime is not a problem in Trinco anymore, and the civil rule was fully implemented and Trinco has been transformed into one of the most peaceful neighbourhoods on the eastern Sri Lanka, where thousands of Buddhist and Hindu monuments makes it an inevitable destination of travel.
Trinco is another city with widespread beachfront, and has one of the biggest natural deep-water harbours in the world, which can accommodate big vessels; Trinco has a unique culture, history and flavour. Starting from the Portuguese colonial period (1505-1656), the harbour of Trincomalee played an important role in the country's spice industry, Trinco was the home to one of the main storehouse of spices before shipped to Europe through the Trinco port.
The history of Trinco is very controversial and vague due to the lack of historical notes on the region. Unlike other historical places in Sri Lanka such as Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya rock, Dambulla cave temple Trinco is deprived of concrete evidence to prove it's important in the past.
Nagadeepa Buddhist temple, which is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites, of the north of Trincomalee, is believed to be a place, where Buddha presented himself in 3rd century BC. During the archaeological excavations, several ancient Buddhist temples were discovered in Trinco, most recent such finding was a temple near the hot wells in Kinniya, so it suggests that the Buddhism had been a widespread Religion in the country including in the past East coast.
Places to visit in Trincomalee
Trincomalee and the East coast of the island is a major holiday destination in Sri Lanka. Kinniya hot wells that is located 10 km from Trincomalee is one of nature's wonders gifted by the island. There are 8 major wells with thermal water, each well has its own identical temperature many believe that it has curative features for certain ailments.
Six kilometres from Kinniya, amidst thick jungle, the oldest Buddhist temple in Trincomalee, "Wilgamvehera", and the road is narrow up to the temple which is around two and a half kilometres. Wilgamvehera is a vast complex of the ruined monastery, stretching far and wide into the jungle.
It is said to have been built by King Devanampiyatissa, the pioneer Buddhist King of Sri Lanka 2250 years ago and the "Wilgamvehera" stone inscription written in Tamil, reveals that real coexistence, prevailed among the Sinhalese and Tamils in the past. The neatly kept compound is an added beauty to this sacred place.
Trincomalee Nilaveli beach
Nilaveli is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka and it is 13 kilometres from the city of Trincomalee. A large number of sun-worshippers arriving in Sri Lanka, especially from April to November is heading to this fascinating village by the sea. One can see the unpleasant memories of the war that existed in the area. Tourist is now heading to the Nilaweli beach to enjoy their beach holiday in Sri Lanka, it has already become an active holiday destination after the civil war.
The tourists have started to flock to the beaches of Nilaveli since the improved security in the area. Several large-scale hotels are being built to accommodate high-end holidaymakers in the area. There are plenty of accommodation facilities for tourists in Nilaveli and there are large numbers of small guest houses and hotels are opened during the last few years in the wake of increasing accommodation demand.
The distance from Colombo to Nilaveli is 271 km and can be reached via Anuradhapura or Habarana, Nilaweli is one of the prime beach resorts on the east coast of Sri Lanka. Nilaveli is ideally suited for sunbathing and diving. A few meters from the coast is a small rocky island known as pigeon island, which very is good for snorkelling. Nilaveli is surrounded by many important historical and religious places mentioned in this post such as Thiriyaya Buddhist temple, Kinniya hot wells, Lowers leap, Trincomalee harbour and fort and Thirukoneswaram Hindu temple.
Nilaveli is a severely affected area by the 30 years war and it was severely damaged by the Tsunami in 2004. Today most of the people are in utter poverty and most of them are lack of basic facilities. The area is dominated by Hindu Tamil and catholic Tamil communities.
There is also a sizable population representing Sinhalese and Muslim ethnic groups. Being a beach resort at the tip of the east coast Nilaveli categorized as an area with hard climate conditions. The heat of the area is very high compared to the west or south coast of Sri Lanka. The dryness prevails during most part of the year and monsoon rain pours the water during the months of November, December and January.
When is the best time to travel to Nilaveli, Sri Lanka
The best travel time to the Nilaveli beach is from April to October while dry weather dominates in the west and southern coast from November to April.
Agriculture and fishing are the most important income-generating industries for the people in the area. Both income methods are highly seasonal and the people are lack of activities out of the season. Fishing industry comes to live in April with the ending of Monsoon and fisherfolk from other parts of the country are also migrating to this part of the country.
During the monsoon the sea is rough and the fisherfolk stay away from the sea. Vegetables such as manioc, onion, ladies fingers and coconut are the most important crops for the people here. Especially the onion is grown here far better than anywhere else in the country.
One major setback for the development in the area is recognized as the lack of job opportunities for the people. Therefore the jobless rate among people tends to be high. The upcoming giant hotels along the coast of Nilaveli believed to be a good solution for the jobless people here.
The infrastructure facilities such as schools, hospitals, childcare services believed to be inadequate here. But the government of Sri Lanka and various other non-governmental organizations have spent a large amount of money to improve the living standard of the community and various other projects are underway. Most important infrastructure facilities such as roads, bridges, electricity and water supply are back to normal in many parts of Nilaweli with the "Negenahira Udanaya" program launched by the government.
After several years of the last face of the war, a sizable improvement of civil life can be witnessed in Nilaveli. People who fled the area during the troubled period are returning to their traditional homelands. A large number of construction activities can be seen in the area and which is a sign of fast recovery from the destruction.
Trincomalee town
When compared with other major cities of Sri Lanka, Trincomalee town is a somewhat backward one. Proper town planning has not been carried out during the war, so as a result the outlook of the town not an eye-catching one to the visitors.
But, the area belongs to Fort Fredric and their environs are very beautiful, view from the summit of the Swamy Rock over the Indian Ocean is magnificent. Seruwila that built 2250 years ago by King Kawantissa is located in Eastern province. It is one of the most venerated historical temples in the island.
The forehead bone of Buddha is said to be enshrined in the dagoba. Numerous ruins of great stone structure and to be seen here and there, some partly covered by the encroaching jungle. When permanent peace is restored, this holy place will be an important one for all Sri Lankan Buddhists.
The beauty of the Kantale tank magnifies the last rays of the preceding day, by watching this an ancient man-made reservoir, I felt a subtle sadness of our glories and present predicament.
There are well known 2 natural harbours in the island of Sri Lanka; Trincomalee and Galle. Trincomalee considered being one of the deepest natural harbours in the world and used by the ancient seafarers 2500 year ago. The strategic location of the harbour proved to be one of the most important places in Asia during World War 2.
European powers calculated that whoever controls the Trincomalee harbour, have the better chance of controlling the Eastern part of India. Trincomalee harbour was controlled by four colonial rulers in the past Portuguese, Dutch, French and English. Under the British control from 1795 to 1848, it was harbour was improved to accommodate bigger vessels.

In the words of the contributor...
I just stumbled onto your website and had to contact you. I live in Elk Falls, KS (pop. 120) which bills itself as the Outhouse Capital of Kansas. We just had our 12th Annual Outhouse Tour and Contest. It's always the Friday and Saturday before Thanksgiving in Elk Falls, KS.

Thanks to a recent article in a nationally syndicated magazine American Profile (you can read the article, Taking Pride in Privies, at americanprofile.com under the Oct archive), we had a tremendous turnout this year with visitors from some 10 different states! We got nearly 100 calls from 25 states. I thought we heard from every outhouse enthusiast out there, but evidently there are more than we know!
The tour began as a joking suggestion at one of our Friends of Elk Falls brainstorming meetings in '96 when we were discussing possible additions to our Fall Open House weekend. After ruling out historic home tours (we don't have any), garden tours (unless people want to help weed!), someone commented we have a lot of outhouses! After a good laugh, we thought, why not? Well, not everyone in town thought promoting outhouses was something we wanted to be associated with (I'm sure you know the story), but folks coming to town loved it and rest, as they say, is history!
We've had a lot of participation over the years, but usually have 10 - 12 outhouses entered in the contest. Visitors buy a commemorative Outhouse Button for $1 which allows them to get a map and a ballot and take the self guided tour. The outhouses are scattered around town and owned by various businesses or individuals. The outhouses themselves run the gamut, from original to custom built for the contest. Some are historic WPA privies, some more creative. Some are fancy, some pretty crude. After viewing all the outhouses (or as many as they can take!), visitors vote for their first and second choices and "deposit" their ballots in the slotted seat of the Outhouse Headquarters "Voting Booth", an outhouse parked permanently downtown. It's a lot of fun, and to our knowledge, other than your online tour, the only outhouse tour anywhere! The winner receives the traveling Outhouse Throne Award, a custom made stoneware chamber pot trophy as well as cash prizes for the first 3 places.
I know you have gobs of pictures on your site (my wife and I must have spent over an hour last night looking and still haven't seen them all!), but I'd love to send you some of ours if you'd like to see them.
Back to the Outhouse of America Curator; Well we did enjoy viewing the pictures he sent and they are shown above!

"When a small college town police station is besieged by "Evil" on a sleepy Halloween night, Pete, the sheriff, and Hancock, his loyal deputy, are thrown into the middle of holy chess-game that could destroy the town, and possibly the world."


The book's overarching story is of a woman and her mom's efforts to create a television show about divas - their definition of diva. And it has nothing to do with fashion and glamour or popularity contests. These are women that are changing the world, be it revolutionizing a jail in India or courageously pursuing art against her government's dictates.
If you are looking to be inspired by what women of the world are doing these days to help society and the environment, this will be a good read for you.

In BreakWomb spoof, moms show reality of spelling out words in front of kids
Oct. 5, 2015, 6:21 PM UTC / Updated Oct. 5, 2015, 6:58 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Terri Peters
Spelling words they'd rather a child not hear is a time-honored way for parents to hold adult conversations in the presence of little ears. But in some conversations, keeping up with spelling those secret words can turn into a M-E-S-S quickly.
In their latest sketch comedy video, SPELL IT, the ladies of the BreakWomb poke fun at the spelling-heavy conversations they say they're guilty of having on a daily basis.
The conversation begins at a play date, when moms Laurel Coppock, Molly Erdman and Megan Grano attempt to keep talk of meeting at the P-A-R-K later under wraps.
"I would love to — can we do it in the afternoon?" Erdman asks, explaining that she has to take her child to the D-O-C-T-O-R in the morning.
Later, Erdman offers to bring C-O-O-K-Y-S to the park.
"Oh, I think it's C-O-O-K-I-E-S," answers Coppock.
Erdman's error launches a string of hilarious misspellings about everything from Grano's son's pistachio sensitivity to Coppock's inability to spell diarrhea.
As the moms grow increasingly frustrated with one another, one slips and says the c-word.
"COOKIES!" the playing kids scream as the moms groan.
Grano said she pitched the idea to her fellow comedians after realizing how often she misspelled the things she was trying to hide from her son.
"I spell all the time in front of my son — my husband and I do," Grano told TODAY Parents. "And we always are messing up words and going back and forth so many times, being like, 'Wait. What did you just say?'"
And judging by the amount of emails and Facebook comments they've gotten from other moms, Grano said she knows she and her friends aren't the only spelling-challenged parents out there.
"All of us struggle when you start spelling a lot of words," she said. "It gets complicated."

British supermarket chain Tesco facing pre-Christmas strikes
Workers at several Tesco distribution centres across Britain are set to strike in the run-up to Christmas, potentially hitting product availability, the Unite union said on Monday.
It said warehouse and truck drivers based at depots in Belfast and Antrim in Northern Ireland, Didcot in southern England and Doncaster in northern England were taking strike action in protest over the supermarket group's offer of a 4% pay rise.
The Belfast and Antrim workers will be taking all-out strike action from Dec. 16. Didcot and Doncaster workers will strike for 48 hours from the same day and for five days from Dec. 20.
Tesco, Britain's biggest retailer, said it had made a fair pay offer.
"We welcome the decision by our colleagues at the sites who have voted against industrial action. We are disappointed that some have voted to proceed, and we have contingency plans in place to help mitigate any impacts," said a Tesco spokesperson.
British retailers are already grappling with delays in international supply chains that are being compounded by labour shortages in domestic transport and warehousing networks, with a lack of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers particularly acute.
But Tesco said in October it was coping well.
