Q: Laravel date format to include of between the day and the month How can I format the date to include "of" between the day and the month to print something like 16 of september?
I cant find the exact syntax. What am I forgetting?
format('d ["of"] m')

A: This is how it can be done
date('jS \of F'); // this is how it prints 8th of August

A: jS \of F     the format function is an alias of php's date http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

A:
echo date('jS \Of F', strtotime('2018-09-16'));   //Outputs 16th Of September

According to the documentation
j - Day of the month without leading zeros.
S - English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters.
F - A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March
Also, in the doc, it is stated that:

You can prevent a recognized character in the format string from being
  expanded by escaping it with a preceding backslash. If the character
  with a backslash is already a special sequence, you may need to also
  escape the backslash.

The statement above explains why we have \Of. Of is a recognized string. We can also do \O\f and still get the same result.


"Wait for me here. If there's any danger, just use the array in the Dragon Jade," Zhao Feng ordered as he looked at the three slowly heading into the Imperial Sky Inheritance.
"You're really going to go?" Zhou Su'er was worried. Just was just thinking about what would happen if someone offended Zhao Feng, but she was starting to regret it.
The purple-haired male with short hair was a famous Grandmaster Beast Tamer Ji Bai while the muscular male in black clothes was Cao Zhang, also known as Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. Apparently, he had cultivated and refined a hundred peak Earth-grade techniques to the maximum, and he was a peerless prodigy of the Cao Family's older generation.
Their group had a Grandmaster Beast Tamer with the powerful Purple Star Eyes bloodline, and they also had the terrifying battle-power of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. While Zhao Feng might be outstanding in every aspect and easily surpassed unrivalled Emperors, he was certainly not a match for such a combination.
Zhou Su'er started to regret choosing to be a healer.
"En." Zhao Feng gave a simple reply and didn't give an explanation.
Seeing Zhao Feng acting so calm, Zhou Su'er thought that she might be underestimating him.
The younger disciples of the Ji Family spent all day talking about Zhao Feng's mysterious eye-bloodline techniques.
Ever since Ji Dengtian started cultivating, he had never lost against an eye-bloodline outside the Ji Family. He would never admit that his eye-bloodline techniques weren't a match for a late-stage King junior.
"Hehe, I heard that Zhao Feng joined the Crown Prince trial with the position of beast tamer." Excitement flashed through Ji Bai's eyes.
"Stop talking about useless stuff. He's just a King-level junior." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, who was at the front, snickered coldly.
"Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, you might not know about this, but Zhao Feng has a Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly." Ji Bai gave a wicked smile.
"Oh?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined's footsteps stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed. It was obvious that even Sacred Lords weren't able to resist the temptation of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.
"But he shouldn't have used the array in his Dragon Jade yet, so if we take action hastily, it will ruin our chance," Ji Bai continued.
"Xue Yuan, I can't do it anymore. Who knows how much further this path goes?" A short Emperor who had expended a lot of True Yuan spoke in a low tone.
"It is indeed not enough with just two groups." Xue Yuan looked at the members of the Twelfth Prince's group. Their situation wasn't much better.
They had been fighting with these sandstone monsters ever since they entered the Imperial Sky Inheritance, and while these monsters only had the strength of a half-step King, everyone's strength was currently suppressed in this ancient dimension.
"Another group has arrived!" someone exclaimed.
"Hold on! The group from the Cao and Ji Families are coming. We will definitely be able to break through now," Xue Yuan encouraged the short Emperor next to him as excitement shone in his eyes.
"All of you, leave the Imperial Sky Inheritance!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined turned around and looked at the six people. His voice was cold and forceful. The supreme aura of a Sacred Lord made the six Emperors unable to stand or breathe properly.
"If you stay here, we might accidentally kill you." Ji Bai slowly walked over, and his wicked laughter resounded throughout the pathway. He waved his hands, and countless dark green snakes appeared. They had scaly armor that glittered with a cold light.
"You!" Xue Yuan was filled with anger. They had spent a lot of time and effort to reach this place. None of them were willing to leave the Imperial Sky Inheritance just like that, but they were all extremely tired from the battle. Even if were at their full strength, these six wouldn't be a match for the Cao and Ji Families. The difference between their groups and the groups of the top five princes was just too big.
"Let's go." Xue Yuan harrumphed coldly and left with the other two members of his group.
"Xue Yuan, which inheritance are we going to next?" an elder in white robes asked with a faint smile. Although these two groups weren't behind the same prince, they had reached this place together, and they felt a certain bond after being kicked out together by the Eighth Prince's group.
"Let's go to a smaller inheritance. We won't get any share from a big inheritance." Xue Yuan sighed.
They felt helpless against the members of the top five princes. The foundation and strength of the Eight Big Families weren't something normal three-star powers could compare to.
"Hmm? There's someone in front of us," someone said with surprise.
"Hand over two Dragon Jades and I'll let you guys go." Zhao Feng revealed a smile as he stood in the middle of their path like a bandit.
The six were slightly dazed as they recognized Zhao Feng, and they made sure that their ears were functioning properly. All of them knew a bit about Zhao Feng.The beast tamer on the Ninth Prince's team apparently had a spiritual pet with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, but a mere late-stage Void God Realm beast tamer robbing six Emperors would make many people laugh to death.
"Zhao Feng, hand over the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly or immediately use the array in your Dragon Jade and leave." Xue Yuan's eyes were cold as he walked forward. After being kicked out by the experts of the Cao and Ji Families, he was filled with anger and had nowhere to unleash it, but an ignorant junior suddenly arrived.
"Looks like you're not going to give me the Dragon Jades then." Zhao Feng's golden eye scanned over the six, and their hearts shook. The eye seemed to be able to look through everything.
Xue Yuan's eyebrows furrowed. He felt like something was amiss, but he was frustrated at the same time.
"Zhao Feng, you're courting death!" An Emperor with a short temper cursed and was about to attack.
"Hmph, Sacred Lightning Body!" Zhao Feng stepped forward, and his body became taller. A golden-blue light radiated from his body as he seemed to turn into a miniature golden giant. At the same time, a barrier of lightning condensed around the surface of his body. Lightning flashed and wind howled.
The Emperor's palm landed on Zhao Feng's barrier of lightning, but his attack was completely dissolved. At the same time, a strong repelling force and countless bolts of lightning pushed him back a dozen meters and made him cough out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and looked at Zhao Feng in fear.
Under the pressure of Zhao Feng's Sacred Lightning Body, the other five felt as if they had been hit by a hammer, and their blood started to boil. A numbing sensation coursed through their bodies.
Xue Yuan was completely shocked as he looked at the calm Zhao Feng. In the information he had received, it said that Zhao Feng's physical defense was extremely strong, but he didn't expect it to bethisstrong.
"We're willing to hand over one Dragon Jade," Xue Yuan said through gritted teeth.
One Dragon Jade wasn't really a big deal for them. The prince they supported had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, so there wasn't much point in collecting Dragon Providence. It was better to just give away one jade since it would be a waste for their entire group to use their life-saving technique right now. Xue Yuan took a Dragon Jade from another member and handed it to Zhao Feng.
"I can only blackmail them now." Zhao Feng sighed. Everyone was starting to get used to this place. The six Emperors just now could use 30% of their full battle-power.
"The path in this inheritance is extremely long. I'll let them open the way for me." A gold light flashed through Zhao Feng's left eye as he looked into the distance and continued to walk forward at a leisurely pace.
"Will that brat come?" Ji Dengtian stopped and turned around.
"He's coming, but he's following at a very slow speed. From the looks of it, he wants us to open the way for him while he does nothing," Ji Bai said with an evil smile after carefully sensing around.
"Hehe, as long as he comes, he can take anything he wants if he has the ability to do so." Ji Dengtian laughed coldly.

IDEX-2019
JSC "KBP" took part in one of the major international exhibitions dedicated to defense and security held in the UAE from 17 to 21 of February - IDEX-2019.
The Pantsir-ME ADMGS developed at JSC "KBP" was introduced by SC Rostec, JSC "High Precision Weapons" and JSC "KBP" at IDEX-2019 international exhibition for the first time. The system incorporates sophisticated technology concepts in the domain of efficient repelling of aerial targets and other current types of armament.
The IDEX is held under the aegis of by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE President, with the support of the government and armed forces of the country and it attracts enormous attention of manufacturers and buyers of armament and military equipment.
This show held by the United Arab Emirates possesses the uniting nature. It is one of the few world exhibitions that joins Russian, American, English, Byelorussian, Ukrainian, Egyptian, German and other countries' expositions.
JSC "High Precision Weapons" with its subordinate JSC "KBP" company were awarded with the exhibitors' diploma for creation of a unique image of the exposition, its scale and saturation with displayed armaments that are mostly attractive for buyers of the region as well as for presentation of state-of-the-art developments.
Six other companies along with JSC "KBP" within the joint delegation of the holding showed their products united by the coherent design of the exposition. Motion pictures on the plasma screens continually demonstrated the exhibited weapons. Visitors remarkably noted the scale of the JSC "High precision Weapons" holding joint exposition. The delegation was headed by Sergey Mikhaylov, Deputy Director General for foreign economic relations.
The exhibitors and obviously all the participants of this executive international exhibition of weaponry and security technologies celebrated this year the IDEX silver jubilee. The first IDEX international forum took place in February 1993. From year to year, the number of countries-participants of the exhibition have grown. In 1997, the Kashtan anti-aircraft missile system was introduced within the KBP's exposition. Now, at the IDEX-2019 JSC "KBP" has introduced the fighting module of the new Pantsir-ME naval system.
The original presentation of the Russian Pantsir-ME anti-aircraft missile-gun system abroad became of the major events not only of the first exhibition day but also of the whole show. At present, naval security is the most priority sphere of the region countries' governments that invest significant funds in protection of their sea borders and coastline. Through creation of the new system, JSC "KBP" has ensured reliable protection of ships against air threats at the unconditional probability level, which is practically equal to one, including protection against low-flying anti-ship missiles and remotely piloted vehicles. The interest manifested to the Pantsir-ME system as to a short-range system was enormous.
The new system was introduced to numerous journalists by Sergey Abramov, Industrial Director of the Rostec State Corporation for conventional armament, ammunition and special chemistry cluster, Dmitrii Konoplev, Deputy Director General JSC "High Precision Weapons" and Managing Director JSC "KBP" and Aleksandr Zhukov, Chief Designer of naval anti-aircraft systems.
During the course of the presentation, Dmitrii Konoplev reported that currently, the system is extensively being mounted on Russian Army ships and that designers developed this system for all types of ships with displacement exceeding 300 t. The system is the sole in the world ship-based anti-aircraft system with a single fighting module, which armaments comprise artillery and air-defense missile weapons as well as a weapon control system. The missile armament enables engagement of targets flying at 1000 m/sec velocity at 20 km range and 15 km altitude. The gun armament has a firing rate of 10 000 rounds a minute, range up to 4 km and up to 3 km altitude. Dmitrii Konoplev emphasized that the system is capable of engagement of low-flying UAVs as well as all types of targets flying as low as 5-10 meters above sea level. "We have scheduled negotiations devoted to upgrade of ships using the Pantsir-ME system with a number of countries. The quality-price ratio and high-performance capabilities make this system quite attractive for customers", noted Dmitrii Konoplev.
When summarizing, Sergey Abramov expressed his gratitude to IDEX organizing committee for excellent arrangement and participation of Russian firms in the biggest international exhibition. "We show our best products", noted Sergey Abramov, "And our goal is to offer our competitive items to all concerned parties without collateral terms. Today, we offer various forms of cooperation".
Presentations of products, negotiations on issues of mutual cooperation with firms' delegations and military representatives of many countries were held in the course of the exhibition. The company's stand was visited by the UAE MoD delegations, including a delegation headed by Saleh Mohammed Al-Ameri, the United Arab Emirates Land Forces Commander.
The Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system, which is nowadays the most demanded weapon system by customers and which carries a powerful ammunition load of 12 missiles and 1400 artillery round was demonstrated in the view of data boards and a mockup among other items. The vehicle is capable to destroy over 20 targets with a single ammunition load.
The further modernization of systems is aimed at increase of ammo load, target engagement range as well as at expansion of the spectrum of target types to be engaged that is to impart such features that will thoroughly meet requirements of the future.
JSC "KBP" offers to foreign customers the Kornet-EM multipurpose missile system that allows for engagement of not only armored vehicles but also aerial low-velocity targets. The system possess a number of new capabilities: extended firing range; guidance automation, simultaneous firing at two targets and engagement of air targets. By virtue of its distinctiveness, the system is in service with more than 15 countries. Komandirsha-E antitank platoon portable automated control system, Malakhit portable automated artillery fire control system, 155 mm Krasnopol-M2 guided weapon system, Gran guided weapon system for 120 mm mortars were also included in the JSC "KBP's" exposition.
JSC "KBP" has designed a variety of small arms and grenade launchers including various sidearm, individual automatic firearm, sniper rifles, combat knives, shoulder, under-barrel and automatic grenade launchers. Therefore, small arms were commonly of high interest. Record-holding items were shown at the stand, such as GSh-18 pistol - most lightweight, AGS-30 also most lightweight (16 kg) among automatic grenade launchers and others. There were also demonstrated: 12.7 mm OSV-96 sniper rifle, 9 mm GSh-18 pistol, PP-2000 submachine gun, Shmel-M rocket-assisted infantry flamethrower with three types of rounds: RPO-A thermobaric, PRO-D smoke and RPO-Z incendiary each having no counterparts in other countries, 40 mm GP-30M under-barrel grenade launcher, GM-94 magazine grenade launcher, 12.7 mm VKS large-caliber sniper rifle, 12.7 mm ShAK-12 high-power assault rifle system and others.

I had a session with a friend using 7g or so in a 190ml pot. I put the large, whole piece in and gave a 20sec wash. We went through ten infusions and at the end of our session, I brought the tea home and got another four infusions out of it. In the first part, the beginning three steeps developed in a tame and predictable arc. Then, on the fourth infusion, the chunk opened up and developed thick medicinal notes followed by a fungal base for steepings 6 to 10. This fungal base kept the tea going strong. The medicinal notes were an eye-opener for me since I did not know this potential of the brick. It got more complex than usual for the eighth and ninth infusions with hints of sweetness overlapping with faint wood and the already present medicinal elements. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to stop but my friend and I had already had a lot of tea.
I came home satisfied. When I took the tea through the last four infusions, the mushroom base changed into a sweetness that steadily declined. I felt warm and full and wanted to have another session with this brick soon. I felt alert but relaxed, mellowed out by this tea.
It's at a good place in development – nine years of age and moving to the clearer side. My ratio is about 1g/13ml. This tea needs a 15s wash hot and it is ready to go. Leaves are not too sleepy. After the rinse, the first steep is really just things waking up. Second to fourth infusions are where it is important to me to get the steep time and temperature right. If I nurture the tea well in those infusions, I can get about 13 infusions total. 渥堆 is not awful – it melds with the medicinal notes in the tea and will back off by fourth infusion. After that is a fungal period, then sweetness, little wood notes here and there. I do not experience cocoa or bitterness.
Turmeric is my favorite herb. The dry powder smells round and spicy. When used, it can change from astringency to sweetness when cooked long enough. The color tints whatever it touches.
My teas don't have to be like that, but the interpretation of bitter as sweetness has powerful, lasting effects. It is what motivates me to explore and expand my palate.
I love Taiwan oolong. Aged stuff seems to be better for me, and I am exploring ripe puerh. As can be surmised, I like to push teas though sometimes, the tea ends up pushing me. Seven or eight entries per tea depending on aging and how much I have.

Mains powered carbon monoxide (CO) detectors must be fitted in any space which contains a carbon-based fuel appliance (excluding cooking appliances) e.g. a gas/oil boiler, gas/oil fire, wood burning stove or open coal fire. There should also be one in any bedroom or living room which is bypassed by a flue.
To minimise the risk of fire, the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 set out requirements for all soft furnishings. It's illegal to provide furnishings that don't comply. Each item of furniture or furnishings must have a label attached to it stating compliance with the regulations.
Fixed wiring (Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR) checks must be carried out at least every five years. Anything that is movable and fitted with a plug should be on the PAT report. Everything in the property which uses the electrical supply must be on either EICR or PAT, unless it belongs to the tenant.
If your property has a gas supply, you will need to have a Gas Engineer carry out a safety check on all gas installation and appliances annually. This includes the gas meter, boilers, heated water tanks, fires and cookers. You must supply the tenant with a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate (GSC) which is issued by the engineer.
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that the risk of exposure of tenants to Legionnaires' Disease is properly assessed and controlled. A risk assessment should be carried out and regularly reviewed and control measures should be implemented.
Mains powered smoke detectors must be installed in the living room and all circulation areas/hallways and a mains powered heat detector in the kitchen. All alarms should be interlinked. It is best practice to provide a fire blanket and/or extinguisher in the kitchen and these should be maintained and serviced regularly.
At Etimon, our property experts take the stress out of letting a property, guiding you through the whole process from safety regulations right through until your tenant vacates. Get in touch today to see how Etimon could transform your rental service.


Relationships between the news media and the "news-worthy" bereaved have long been problematic, with the attention of scholars and journalists alike concentrating on the issues of intrusion and harassment during grief. This study begins to consider media approaches from the position of the families themselves and finds that although there is some evidence of anger at intrusion, there is more evidence of harm caused by neglect, inaccuracy and insensitivity. It also finds that some families have felt excluded by the news media from the stories of their relatives' deaths despite a willingness to engage with journalists.

Q: ODRefresh control calling more then once I am working on ODRefresh control as pull to refresh controller. I added this in my project to refresh when user drag the table view from top. It is working fine for some view controllers. But in one view controller it is calling more than once when i drag down the table view. I don't understand why it is calling like this. I used the same code as in other view controllers. Here my code is
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

let refreshControl: ODRefreshControl = ODRefreshControl.init(inScrollView: userTableView)

refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: "refreshAction:" , forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged)

}

func refreshAction(refreshControl:UIRefreshControl)
{
    SVProgressHUD.show()
    skipIndex = 0
    dataArray.removeAll()
    getDataFromDB()
    refreshControl.endRefreshing()
    SVProgressHUD.dismiss()

}

Can any one please help me to solve this.

How to Delete a Signature in Outlook 2013
May 3, 2016 By Matt
Email signatures offer a simple and uniform way to provide your email contacts with the information that you think is important. It can also save you time by automatically inserting details that you might otherwise need to type for every message, such as your phone number, website, or address.
But signature information can change over time, or you may find that you prefer the personal touch that comes from manually signing your emails. Fortunately you can delete signatures from Outlook 2013 and stop them from being attached to your emails.
How to Remove a Signature in Outlook 2013
The steps in the article below are going to delete a signature from the Outlook 2013 installation on your computer. This will not affect any signatures that might be set for your email account (for example, Gmail allows you to set signatures for messages that you send from a Web browser, like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. This signature is created in the Gmail Settings menu, at http://mail.google.com. A Web-based signature like that will not be affected by these steps). It will only affect the signature that had been previously applied to new email messages that you sent from Outlook. If you have a signature that you want to remove from an iPhone, you can read here.
Step 1: Open Outlook 2013.
Step 2: Click New Email at the left side of the ribbon.
Step 3: Click the Signature drop-down in the Include section of the ribbon, then click Signatures.
Step 4: Click the signature that you want to delete from the options at the top-left of the window, then click the Delete button.
Step 5: Click the Yes button on the pop-up window to confirm that you wish to remove the signature from Outlook.
While you are changing the settings for your Outlook account, you may want to consider changing the send and receive frequency as well. This allows you to specify the amount of time that Outlook 2013 will wait before it checks for new messages. Many people find the default settings to be too infrequent, and it is possible to tell Outlook to check every minute, if you would like.

Q: Adjoint pairs, triplets and quadruplets Often we have adjoint pairs $(A, B)$ (meaning $A$ is left adjoint to $B$).
Sometimes we have adjoint triplets $(A,B,C)$ (meaning $A$ is left adjoint to $B$ and $B$ is left adjoint to $C$. No adjoint relation between $A$ and $C$ obviously, since they have the same source and target).
So the first question is: can we have quadruplets $(A,B,C,D)$ ? (meaning that $C$ is also left adjoint to $D$).
Second question:
It would be then possible that we have $(A,D)$ besides $(A,B)$. But I think not, because I think that it is not possible to have a functor $A$ with two different right adjoints, $B$ and $D$. Is this correct?

A: Actually, for every natural number $\ge 2$, there is a maximal string of adjoint functors of that length. Here's one construction: let $\mathbf{n}$ denote the poset category $\{ 0 < \ldots < n - 1 \}$. I claim there are functors (i.e. order-preserving maps)
\begin{align}
d_i & : \mathbf{n} \to \mathbf{n} + 1 & & 0 \le i \le n \newline
s_i & : \mathbf{n} + 1 \to \mathbf{n} & & 0 \le i \le n - 1
\end{align}
such that
$$d_n \dashv s_{n-1} \dashv d_{n-1} \dashv \cdots \dashv s_0 \dashv d_0$$
is a maximal string of adjoint functors. Moreover, if $\mathbf{C}$ is a category with a terminal object but no initial object, there are functors
\begin{align}
\partial_i & : [\mathbf{n} + 1, \mathbf{C}] \to [\mathbf{n}, \mathbf{C}] & & 0 \le i \le n \newline
\sigma_i & : [\mathbf{n}, \mathbf{C}] \to [\mathbf{n} + 1, \mathbf{C}] & & 0 \le i \le n
\end{align}
such that
$$\partial_0 \dashv \sigma_0 \dashv \cdots \dashv \partial_n \dashv \sigma_n$$
is a maximal string of adjoint functors. (Here $[\mathbf{D}, \mathbf{C}]$ denotes the category of all functors $\mathbf{D} \to \mathbf{C}$.)
It is also not hard to find an infinite string of adjoint functors: for example,
$$\cdots \dashv \textrm{id} \dashv \textrm{id} \dashv \textrm{id} \dashv \cdots$$
is such a string, though a little degenerate.
As for your second question, recall that adjoints are unique up to unique natural isomorphism, i.e. if $F \dashv G$ and $F \dashv G'$, then there is a unique natural isomorphism $G \cong G'$ which interacts nicely with the unit and counit of the adjunction.


2017 will be our 2nd Annual KTRA Gallop!
In 2016 we hosted our 1st Annual KTRA 5KM Gallop from our barnyard down rivers trail and back. For 2017 we have added a 10KM option! There are also walking options for both.
GOAL: In 2016 we were able to raise $700 with 80 runners. With these funds we were able to buy 100 bales of hay for our therapy horses and sponsor a rider to participate in our programs. This year our goal is to raise $1400 with 100 runners.
CHEAPEST RUN IN TOWN! Our participation fee is only $10 per person!
There will be a BBQ by donation afterwards and a demo therapeutic riding lesson.
Come and join our fun event!
HIGHLIGHT: Our mini, Autumn, participates!

====== Quill ====== Quill is the first wordprocessor package written by [[qlwiki:Psion]] and packaged with the Sinclair QL home computer. The US version of the software is simply called 'Word Processor' Quill uses the same friendly menu driven interface familiar to users of the other Psion business programs, [[qlwiki:Abacus]], [[qlwiki:Archive]] and [[qlwiki:Easel]] and you could import data between all four programs. Written at the time when dot matrix printers were just beginning to emerge, Quill only offers a limited range of fonts and styles, although more could be added through the printer translates program. As a result, its output now looks dated compared to modern word processors, although it still remains very popular, due to its simplicity and ease of use. Quill was developed originally on a VAX mainframe in 1983 in C by Martin Stamp. Tested on some of the in-house 'rack-based' development versions of the QL, the software had to be reduced in size using a 'table-language' developed by Psion, in order to ensure that the programs could fit within the QL's memory and microdrive cartridges. In common with the other Psion business programs, the main problem with Quill was that it grabs all of the QL's available memory, thus making it difficult to multi-task with the other programs (even on expanded systems). This was resolved by programs such as [[qlwiki:CHOice]] and [[qlwiki:QL Switch]]. Quill was also included as part of the [[qlwiki:Xchange]] package. Work on the four Psion office packages Quill, [[qlwiki:Archive]], [[qlwiki:Abacus]] and [[qlwiki:Easel]] started about 18 months prior to the QL's launch in January 1984. Originally developed on a VAX minicomputer, discussions began between Psion and Sinclair Research about developing it for the QL. The software was therefore developed in a way which allowed it to be ported to various machines and processors (eventually it was released for the Sinclair QL, the IBM PC, Graduate, ICL One Per Desk, Merline Tonto, Apricot and Sirius computers). Coding actually commenced in April 1983 and in late summer 1983, Psion were given a rack-based development QL to begin the work of testing - although Psion had to use their own 'table-language' to reduce the size of the code in order to get it to fit on a standard QL's 90K RAM. It was this table-language which led to a lot of criticism over the original v1 Psion programs, which had to be loaded in parts from microdrive during use. v2.00 of the software was released in March 1985, which was programmed in native 68000 machine code, providing a much needed speed boost and leaving more room in memory. Some further improvements were added to Quill by third parties, such as [[qlwiki:TurboQuill]] to enhance its speed, and [[qlwiki:Spellbound]] and [[qlwiki:Qtyp]] spellcheckers. There was even a version written by Keith Murray, which included re-writing the original v2 Quill code to remove direct hardware calls to the display routines and unecessary MODE calls and replacing them with proper QDOS calls, creating the ability to even run the software on [[qlwiki:Minerva]]'s second screen. Quill also became part of the [[qlwiki:Xchange]] package with variants released for the PC and THOR computers. ---- Title: **Quill**\\ Language: 68000 Machine Code\\ Author: Martin Stamp\\ Publisher: [[qlwiki:Psion]]\\ Year of Publication: 1984\\ Platforms Suitable for: All Sinclair QLs and emulators\\ Price in October 1984: free - bundled with the QL\\ Reviewed: QL User (April 1985)\\ Sources Available from: n/a\\ Latest Version available from: [[http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/psions/index.html|Sinclair QL Homepage]]

Irlanda: IFA: Potato consumption picks up in Ireland and Europe, ambient stores difficult to hold in the UK
Retail demand and household consumption in Ireland have picked up since colder weather has set in, as the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) reports in its weekly potato market report.
According to IFA, the last few weeks have been particularly challenging for growers harvesting as conditions were very poor, leading to higher-than-average waste. Drying and grading is also very slow due to high levels of soil contamination.
Between 15-20% of crop remains to be harvested in Ireland, with areas of Cork and the north east worst affected. At this point in the season the risk of frost damage is a big concern.
Storage costs are a multiple of last year's costs and growers must immediately receive an increase at farm gate level to compensate for this, IFA says.
In the U.K. ambient stores are difficult to hold while it has been so mild and "wets" in bags are a problem for some growers, particularly where crops were lifted late. Sprouting is also causing growers to market crops earlier than intended. Although demand has not been strong this week, some growers with best quality samples are trying to force value higher.
According to IFA, domestic markets are reported to be showing some signs of increased consumption across Europe, and prices are holding steady.

Preheat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Tie the rosemary and sage bunches together with butcher's twine to form an herb brush. Use the herbs to brush the steak with olive oil.
Place the steak on the grill pan, and char it well: cook about 12 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook about 9 minutes on the second side. Like we said earlier, this steak is traditionally served rare.
When the steak is done, remove it from the grill pan and allow it to stand for 5 minutes, so that the juices are retained when the meat is cut. Carve off the fillet and strip steaks and slice before serving. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Code Green Apparel Buying Zoombang, Shares Surge 100%
It may have the dreaded "stop sign" on OTC Markets, but shares of sustainable apparel company Code Green Apparel Corp. (OTCPK:CGAC) are rising on Wednesday on a large increase in volume on acquisition news. The Laguna Beach, California-based company said today that it has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire Katy, Texas-based Zoombang Companies, a manufacturer of impact protection gear for a wide array of applications.
Terms for the acquisition were kept confidential. Management only disclosed that the acquisition will be an all-stock transaction and that Code Green has committed to invest up to $1.5 million to further expand Zoombang's operations. Zoombang makes products using its proprietary polymer technology that are engineered to manage energy by dissipating, transferring, or accentuating blunt force trauma, shock, g-force loading, and vibration.
The products are used to protect people in sports, military, police, tactical, medical and industrial applications. The company can trumpet 14 NFL teams and 11 NHL teams as customers. Testimonials on the Zoombang website include several from NFL and NHL equipment managers and players praising the quality of the products.
"With Code Green's extensive background in sourcing and production, it was clear from the outset that there are many synergies between the Zoombang Companies and the expertise that Code Green has to offer," said Joseph Scott, Zoombang co-founder and CEO. He added, "We believe these synergies will immediately enhance both companies' abilities to drive existing and new revenue streams through the sale of our wide range of products with both Zoombang's current customer base and to engage in new sales endeavors."
OTC Markets slaps companies with a stop sign logo if the watchdog deems that the company "may not be making material information publicly available." The last quarterly report Code Green filed with the SEC covered the quarter ended September 30, 2017. During that quarter, the company logged revenue of just $10,785, bringing total sales for the first three quarters of 2017 to $44,264. The company listed cash on hand at $32 (thirty-two dollars). Given those figures, this deal has the feel of a reverse merger to bring Zoombang public.
Traders are responding positively to the acquisition news. Over the past 30 days, shares have traded an average of 6,395 per day. Through 1:30 PM EDT on Wednesday, over 300,000 shares have traded, causing the stock to double in value to $0.06 per share.

W.185, Doffinnes Hours
This Book of Hours was named the Doffinnes Hours after Franchoise de Doffinnes, who owned the book in the late sixteenth century and whose family's subsequent history remains chronicled on the book's final folios. However, the manuscript was originally made in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, probably for a married couple, who were originally represented kneeling with scrolls and their coats of arms in the margins, flanking a full-page miniature of the Crucifixion (fol. 72v), but whose figures and arms were later erased and overpainted with white. The manuscript contains both Latin and Dutch texts, supplemented by twelve full-page miniatures, the work of the Master of Walters 185. The manuscript also contains twelve pen-and-ink decorated initials in the calendar, some with grotesque faces, and letter "G" descenders throughout the book that can be attributed to the scribe Johannes de Malborch. The book's original Dutch provenance is indicated by its calendar (for the Use of Utrecht) and its Hours of the Virgin, which follows predominantly the Use of the Windesheim Congregation. Prayers in Dutch were added to the end of the volume in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, and the book was subsequently rebound with its current cream-colored parchment binding of the seventeenth or eighteenth century.

Books by Pastor J.D.
In his newest book Just Ask, Pastor J.D. shows us how prayer was a non-negotiable, daily staple in Jesus' life, and, therefore, why we need to pray as well.
What Are You Going to Do With Your Life?
In this book, Pastor J.D. considers Jesus' radical call to give your life away to the greatest cause of all—to view your life from the perspective of eternity.
Pundits are writing the obituary of historic, orthodox Christianity, but Pastor J. D. believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church.
Searching for Christmas
This evangelistic book goes beyond the birth of Jesus to look at how he fulfilled the names given to him centuries beforehand by the prophet Isaiah.

Burnout occurs when the things that once gave us life and energy become discouraging and draining instead, sacrificing our pleasures and accomplishments to the continual onslaught of next.
A proper understanding of God is vital. However, many times what we observe from our own experiences (especially when they are difficult and painful) can affect the shape of that understanding.

Cowboy Bebop Action-live Series on Netflix will have Major Changes from the Anime, Says Showrunner
Netflix's new live series Cowboy Bebop is doing some changes
The creator of the show "Cowboy Bebop" from Netflix has opened up about challenges while adapting for the show. Since the anime is based upon a Halloween Theme they have to go careful about the script and the animation. However, Netflix has shared the plan to turn Cowboy Bebop into live series long ago.
Netflix Geeked | Twitter
Their major concern was Shinichiro Watanabe who was the director of the original anime has left a huge impact on the audience. We have also discussed this issue with Polygon, even they have got similar thoughts. Since it is such a big name. It has already got a fanbase it is difficult to modify it according to recent needs.
What does the creator of the show have to say?
Andre Nemec has said that Cowboy Bebop already has a very Halloweenie theme and they would like to let it be like that. Whereas according to Nemec the idea of the show was not to copy or remake the old show but to take only the idea and work upon it. They were very careful about the props, the sets, costumes, and everything else. But still, there were a lot of things that could not be replicated as it was in the anime. Nemec further shared that they went into the details of the anime. They saw what inspired the anime to be the way it was.
John Cho | Twitter
The fans of Cowboy Bebop can expect different versions of the anime where we can see the different versions of the character vs just a singular style. However, those who haven't watched the anime will not feel anything weird. But for those who did, they can surely feel the difference.

I've always longed to travel. Haven't done much, though. It always comes down to money, doesn't it?
My parents broke up when I was ten, and my mother raised my sister and me alone, waiting tables and tending bar, with no help at all from my father. My sister also worked her entire adult life as a waitress and bartender. Which is why I always over tip. Everyone should over tip.
Even though I was an honor student in school, no one encouraged me to go to college. But I went. I got a useless bachelor's degree in French literature, which did me no good whatsoever in the job market. I think I went for French literature because I constantly fantasized about going to Paris.
And then I got pregnant, and my boyfriend skipped town.
Unlike my mother and sister, I could type and I eventually developed computer skills. I held down clerical jobs and raised my son Daniel alone. I got engaged four times, but couldn't make myself commit to marriage because I was always afraid every man in my life would eventually turn into my father. There was usually enough money to live on, although the budget was so tight it often turned into a stranglehold. It's difficult being a single mother in the best of times, but when you're always broke, it's even worse. Forget Paris -- a weekend trip to Newark, New Jersey was out of the question. Hey, almost everything that wasn't work was out of the question.
But I still had this overwhelming desire to get up and go somewhere, and finally, I did. When Daniel was six, I had a tiny financial windfall, quit my job, sold nearly everything, and we moved to Boulder, Colorado. Why Boulder? Because the Rocky Mountains are stunning and they had always attracted me. Did I know anyone in Boulder? Nope. We lived there for four years before the need to be near family again pushed me to return to the northeast.
Then I found a clerical job in a university library in Pennsylvania, and it was like a light bulb went off over my head. After only a month, I knew that being a professional librarian was something I could do. I eventually got my masters in library and information science (at the University of Texas, long story), and started working as a professional. I took positions in Mississippi, Virginia, and finally California.
And then this wonderful thing happened.
I was chosen to represent my library at two international conferences, and traveled to Oslo in 2005, and Seoul in 2006. Even better, I was able to add a two-day side trip to Paris. After so many years of yearning to travel and thinking I never would, it was amazing. So even though it was a few years ago, I'm planning to post a few travel/photo diaries about my trips to Oslo, Paris and Seoul.
If you've made it this far, I'm also going to share my current heart's desire with you. Now that I don't have a full-time job tying me to a specific place, what I really want to do is sell everything, buy an RV, and travel around the United States and Canada. I want to see everything, and I want to write about it. I had hoped to begin this past March, but finances and family circumstances made it impossible.
Traveling is my calling. Giant gaping pits of fear and doubt hold me back. Take your RV trip, and keep us updated on where we need to go!
Billie, it is great to hear your backstory. Kinda like Lost. My hubby found his birth family in 2007 and found out he was 1/8th Norwegian. He has been to norway twice alone, then this past February with our 12 year old daughter. We are in Texas, too. West of Fort Worth. My bachelor degree was from UTA (Arlington).

How New Technology Can Help Curb Product Recalls
By Drew Mohnen
The FDA recalls almost a hundred million units of food every quarter, according to Statista. These recalls hurt not only the brands that produce the products, but the retailers who sell them. Commerce is moving faster than ever before, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the supply chain and labor force. With these ongoing challenges, it's vital that retailers and food processing facilities not let food safety and sustainability efforts slip while keeping up with increasing demand.
New food safety innovations can help retailers avoid food recalls, whether they adopt the technology in their own facilities or source products from brands that utilize it. These new possibilities bring ancillary benefits, such as labor reduction and sustainability improvements, offering retailers and food brands a way to bounce back from the disruptions of COVID-19.
The Impacts of a Food Recall
For retailers and brands alike, recalls can have severe consequences, from a damaged reputation to lost revenue to devastating deaths associated with foodborne illness.
However, a product recall amid the COVID-19 crisis would be even more damaging. The food industry still faces labor shortages, food safety concerns, and tightened sustainability regulations, but now those challenges are exacerbated.
Brands have to address these concerns while finding ways to reduce the usage of water, chemicals, and utilities. These issues make it imperative that brands and retailers work together to mitigate food safety risks, starting with the product and processing facility.
The Role of Labor Shortages
COVID-19 has disrupted the supply chain and labor force, driving product costs up and putting more pressure on workers to maintain an unrealistic pace with a limited team. Food operations continue to expand to match increasing demand, but food processors can't find enough skilled workers to operate the facilities, creating severe staffing concerns that are affecting the bottom line throughout the industry.
The labor shortage means existing employees have greater responsibilities than before COVID-19, meaning they might miss crucial steps in sanitation. An untrained workforce may lack the knowledge to sanitize equipment properly or the experience to ensure quality control. These scenarios can create a perfect storm in which pathogens are more likely to spread.
How Automation Helps
Automating food safety practices provides a crucial opportunity for the food industry to improve food safety and sustainability and combat the tight labor market. By incorporating automated equipment into your facility, its one-time cost can provide coverage, reliability, increased productivity, and reduced waste.
Overall, automated equipment creates more consistency and makes difficult tasks easily repeatable. With staff spending less time on menial tasks, and automated equipment providing improved performance, more essential duties and responsibilities can be assigned to a limited team.
Advancements in sanitation and intervention equipment are particularly promising. While antimicrobial chemicals and applications have remained relatively unchanged for several years, scientists and engineers were recently able to apply electrostatic technology—usually used to paint cars and metal objects—to the food safety process.
Electrostatic Technology and How it Improves Food Safety
Electrostatic coating is the process of using an electric charge to attract liquids such as paint or chemicals to a surface. This method results in an even coating across an entire area with minimal overspray.
The ultimate goal of using electrostatic technology in antimicrobial intervention is to achieve a higher level of transfer efficiency. In other words, electrostatics have the potential to greatly improve how well a processor can cover a product with food safety chemistry over a 360-degree surface with little to no overspray. The Elite 360® electrostatic intervention system reduces chemical and water usage by 95 percent. The system can also process anywhere from 250-750 pounds of meat products per minute, keeping up with consumer demand.
Bob Ogren, president of Birko's equipment division, shares:
"Consider a traditional spray cabinet or conveyor in meat processing. An antimicrobial is sprayed continuously into that cabinet or conveyor, and about 30% will hit the intended target. When it does hit the product, it likely runs off. Electrostatics create almost a fog that wraps around 100% of the product, where traditional application would not. You see better, more consistent outcomes with equipment using this technology."
Rigorous testing reveals that the Elite 360 system provides 10 times the improvement compared to typical methods. Using approved levels of peracetic acid (PAA), in-plant pathogen log reductions are in the range of 2.0 to 2.6 or better, which easily meets or exceeds USDA requirements (compared to typical log reduction of 1.0 to 1.75 obtained using a conventional spray cabinet).
In other words, equipment like this can help food processors and retailers gain peace of mind knowing that their brands are protected, and their consumers are safe.
"Electrostatic application of interventions is going to be the path forward in making food products safer," says Elis Owens, director of technical services at Birko. "Electrostatics allow us to take existing, proven chemistry and apply it in a new way to give it a greater efficacy. Antimicrobial intervention processes haven't changed much in the last 15 to 20 years, and it's these new technologies that will harbor in the next generation of food safety."
Automated Sanitation Equipment: Addressing the Labor Shortage
To combat the labor issue, processors are implementing short-term solutions, resulting in more downtime, increased spending, and safety and sanitation risks. For example, hiring unskilled workers to repetitively spray a hose from side-to-side for hours on end, can cause physical fatigue and a lack of alertness, which could lead to inadequate sanitation.
In hopes of retaining more control over costs and quality, some processors are taking a hard look at automation because it can provide coverage, repeatability, increased productivity and reduced waste.
The Birko by Lagafors® cleaning system, for example, removes human error by creating fast, reliable and repeatable processes that workers may not be able to provide manually. The cleaning and sanitation system also provides optimal water pressure to reach all facets in hard-to-reach areas. And with the web-based reporting, the automated equipment is proven to reduce water usage by up to 50 percent and chemical and labor by up to 35 percent.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the pandemic has brought about a "Great Reassemessment" of work in America. Workers are reassessing where they want to work and how. This has caused a mismatch between the jobs that are available and what workers want. As our economy struggles to recover from massive labor shortages in key roles while increasing sustainability regulations, it will be food safety innovations like automated sanitation equipment and electrostatic technology that will help processing plants continue to sustain safe practices to protect our country's food supply from recalls.

LPG Summit's Events In 2019
The Clean Cooking Alliance Joins South Asia LPG Summit 2019 as Silver Sponsors!
CLEAN COOKING ALLIANCE
LPG Summit would like to welcome the Clean Cooking Alliance for the very first time as our latest Silver Sponsor for South Asia LPG Summit in Dhaka, Bangladesh! We look forward to working with them and the WLPGA to help move the LPG industry forward where it is needed most!
The Clean Cooking Alliance works with a global network of partners to build an industry that makes clean cooking accessible to the 3 billion people who live each day without it.
The Clean Cooking Alliance believes that no one's life should be limited by how they cook and here at LPG Summit we couldn't agree more. Yet, cooking over polluting open fires and inefficient stoves causes widespread health, climate, economic, and environmental impacts across the globe. Women and girls are disproportionately affected, spending hours cooking, inhaling toxic smoke, and collecting fuels like wood and animal dung.
The Clean Cooking Alliance is working to mitigate these far-reaching impacts by:
Driving consumer demand for cleaner-burning stoves and fuels;
Building a pipeline of investible businesses capable of answering this demand with affordable, high-quality, appropriate products;
Improving the policy environment to allow the sector to thrive; and
Increasing investment community participation and global engagement around clean cooking.
The Clean Cooking Alliance secretariat is guided by a Leadership Council composed of select high-level stakeholders, donors and experts who advise in all strategic matters, including decisions related to its mission, programmatic focus, growth, and development.
In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, the Alliance is working to achieve universal access to clean cooking by 2030. Learn more about their work at www.CleanCookingAlliance.org

Energy And Management Consultant
Observing the current phase of rapid growth of the LPG industry in Bangladesh and considering the usefulness of creating a safe atmosphere where LPG is used, I have the initiative to prepare an article for the awareness of all concerned regarding the safety in handling LPG cylinders by end-users throughout the country. The article has been developed by gathering together information/tips/papers on 'safe use' of LPG. Because of the wide range of LPG applications and the variations in the scale of use, there are many categories of users, ranging from households to commercial and industrial uses.
It is apparent that due to a lack of proper maintenance and safety precautions, the incidence of explosions and fire hazards have occurred during use of LPG, especially in the kitchen and very often, while cooking. The main factors involved for such occurrences, are;
Leaking gas from sub-standard and damaged gas pipes.
Incorrect installation of the regulator on gas cylinders.
Installation of gas cylinders and gas ovens in fire prone locations.
Leaving the kitchen room during cooking process.
Use of improper cooking utensils.
The government has already decided to shift pipeline gas to cylindered gas for the household use. As such, usage of cylinder gas is expected to increase by several times in the next few years. The importers and marketing companies of LPG are appointing dealers in district and Upazila levels to sell their LPG cylinders. The dealers are selling these cylinders through retail sellers. There is a regulation for acquiring a clearance license from the Department of Explosives for LPG importers and marketing companies to take necessary security measures for holding more than 10 cylinders. Unfortunately, in most of the cases, dealers and retail sellers are found to not be serious about this licensing at all. LPG cylinders are also being sold illegally in the market and this trend, unfortunately, has become so popular that, the LP gas cylinders are treated as just another regular grocery item. Accidents are often caused due to selling unfit and faulty cylinders which indicates the absence of proper security and quality control in almost every aspect of LPG cylinder marketing.
In general, LP gas is supplied from the importer/supplier to the dealers and then sent to the retail sellers. In this case, the importers/suppliers have a practice of verifying the explosive directorate license of the dealers before appointing them. Unfortunately, the system is not being maintained properly in the cylinder distribution chain and hence is not being used by importers properly.
In the face of depleting natural gas reserves, a move is underway to go for the installation of LPG reservoirs in residential buildings to meet household usage of LPG and make it mandatory by incorporating a provision in the Building Code. This mandatory provision, as part of the government's new plan to replace the current piped gas with LPG, building owners have to introduce the LPG reservoir system on the ground floor or underground, so that the residents can use the gas from that system. LPG suppliers will fill the reservoirs and gas will go to residences through an internal LP Gas Service pipeline and there will be no need to individually carry any LPG cylinders from outside of the building premises.
How to use LPG safely
Some care and precautions are required to for use of LP gas to become 100% risk-free. LPG is highly combustible and flammable, so when it comes into contact with the source of any ignition in air, it will explode. Millions of people are utilizing LPG as the most convenient, economical and pollution-free cooking fuel throughout the world and Bangladesh is no exception. However, it does require safe handling procedures to be carried out to avoid any incidence of explosions. LPG is stored in the high tensile steel containers under high pressure but the high-pressure gas may start leaking from any weak rubber pipe, joint or sealed connector provided in the LPG container if not taken care of properly. Therefore, awareness about some statutory warnings and safety precautions can avert any accidental hazards while using this useful and popular cooking, industrial and automobile fuel.
The following are some useful guide lines for safe handling of LPG cylinders for all the above-mentioned purposes:
Install the LPG cylinders vertically in uncovered, airy and at a visible distance below the cooking platform.
The cooking oven or any other ignition sources should not be kept in close proximity to the gas cylinder.
Prior to turning on the gas cylinder in the morning, it should be ensured first, that no sign of gas accumulation has taken place overnight by completely opening all doors and windows in the room.
Carrying out regular checking of the gas tube connections on both the cylinder and the oven/stove.
Defective or damaged cylinder pipes should be replaced at regular intervals as this may be a source of gas leakage.
Use only 'Marketing Company Recommended Standard' gas connecting pipes
Take after-sales and services from only registered LPG suppliers
Do not use any candle or match light to check for any signs of gas leakage from the cylinder. Do this instead by applying a solution of soap and water on the valve or pipe joints to detect possible gas leaks. The gas leaks will be identified visibly by the formation of bubbles. This should be done every time a new gas cylinder is connected.
Spare or replaced cylinders should be kept at a safe distance from cylinders that are in use to prevent any residual gas from being accidentally ignited.
Don't keep any inflammable sources like kerosene, petrol, alcohol, etc or electrical equipment like micro-ovens, toasters and heaters in the kitchen or cooking area.
If there is any indication of gas leakage in kitchen, do not turn on or off any electrical switches or other electrical accessories that are inside kitchen room, a spark from this action, can cause ignition if there is a gas leak.
Steps to be taken in case of an LPG leak
Immediately turn off the regulator valve to stop gas flow.
Open the doors and windows to let out the accumulated gas.
Wait for half an hour till all of the accumulated gas has completely escaped.
Do not turn on regulator switch, gas oven or any other source of ignition in the kitchen till the room is completely free from leakage gas.
If it is difficult to control the gas leak, then immediately inform the LPG supplier or Fire services to avoid any catastrophe.
As a precautionary measure, it is wise to evacuate everyone from the affected area if the leak is not controllable.
Steps to be taken if in rare cases there is a fire
A miniature fire extinguisher is to be kept in-house and should be used immediately to extinguish any initial fire break-out from the gas cylinder. Following which, the fire brigade should be called if the fire does not come under immediate control.
If uncontrollable, evacuate everyone from the building.
Small fires can be extinguished immediately with the help of a wet cloth and followed by turning off the regulator switch immediately.
The guidelines for safe use of LPG by end-users described above are derived from various sources for information and reference purposes only. As such, adoption of these may not meet the needs of any particular organization or individual, so, it is advised to consult with the qualified professional to obtain the advice required.
In Western Europe, a concept known as 'duty of care' and in USA another concept known as 'duty to inform' have been found very appropriate for LPG consumers. Duty of care includes an obligation on the consumer to heed the safety information provided by the supplier as part of his duty to inform. The consumer should be supplied with clear and easy to read safety notices and instructions. Consumers should heed them properly and avoid a 'do-it-yourself' approach, to any LPG installations whether being used for household, commercial and industrial uses, including transport vehicles. This concept stated above should be adopted in Bangladesh to improve the safety of LPG use and to reduce casualties from LPG related accidents.

Facts Global Energy
Bangladesh's population has crossed the 165-million mark, but less than 1% of the population in the cities and suburban areas can afford LPG. This is despite the fact that the LPG distribution system is extended to all 64 districts in Bangladesh and covered by more than 3,000 LPG retailers.
The LPG market does grow in the South Asian country. The rural population is around 110 million, heavily outweighing the 55 million living in urban areas.
LPG consumption is around 3.2 kg/capita and the poor continue to use firewood and biomass as their main fuel source.
However, LPG usage is expected to rise as a consequence of depleting natural gas reserves in the country. With natural gas usage in power generation is driving the country's consumption, the depleting gas fields will continue to put pressure on its use as a household fuel.
Low LPG Production
Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) markets the domestically produced LPG—from the country's sole refinery—through its subsidiary LP Gas Limited.
LPG production amounts to a small volume of around 20,000 tons per year and is being fed to two bottling plants at Chittagong and Kailashtila. The low production number is attributed to the low LPG yield in domestic refineries(1.3-1.5%).
BPC's second refinery will likely commission in early-2023, increasing Bangladesh's supply of refinery LPG.
LNG Threat to LPG?
Bangladesh's LPG stimulus is attributed to the shortage of natural gas, which has caused the government to halt many new gas connections to households and commercial users.
With most of its major gas fields expected to be depleted by the late 2020s, Bangladesh turned towards LNG imports to address the gas shortage.
While the FSRU Excellence arrived at Moheshkhali, south of Chittagong in April this year, the commissioning of the regasification facility met with several delays.
Besides a faulty pipeline connection to the LNG terminal, strong tidal waves at the Bay of Bengal also interrupted its start-up.
However, it is important to note that LNG is not expected to compete with LPG in the retail space as the Bangladeshi government prioritizes naturalvgas use in power generation, fertilizers and large-scale industrial use.
Household use of LPG will still continue to grow as rural usage intensifies. Furthermore, the Government has also pledged that 70% of existing household gas connections (which are heavily concentrated in Dhaka and Chittagong) will be replaced with LPG by 2020.
Additionally, natural gas prices are expected to be hiked as the government is currently charging consumers below the cost of production.
As Bangladesh becomes more dependent on costlier LNG imports, the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) is in the midst of accepting proposals put forth by Petrobangla and other gas companies to raise gas prices.
Proposed hikes for the fertilizer, power and industrial sectors have been said to be as high as 372%, 206% and 93%, respectively, while retail LPG users remain exempt.
All in all, any increase in gas prices certainly bodes well for LPG demand, as gas companies prioritize gas to the fertilizer, power and industrial sectors.
