The Paul Feeney Group Race Team is heading to the second last round of the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship with the aim of picking up where the majority of its drivers left off last year – and that's fighting for race wins and standing on the podium!
Of the drivers currently in the six kart team, two ended last year with podiums, with another narrowly missing a trophy.
In what has been a developmental year for its junior KA2 drivers, Jarrod Hughes and Connor Roberts, both have shown improvement over recent events locally – Hughes setting a new lap record at the Warwick circuit – and on the national scene and are hoping they can lift themselves up the order and into the top 10 at the super fast, very technical Emerald circuit.
Currently Hughes is 16th on the points standings in his rookie year in the elite junior category aboard his Zupps Holden backed kart while Roberts is currently 24th in his Arrow Transport-backed Kosmic.
After missing the last round at Newcastle due to injury, the Feather siblings are aiming to put in a top performance in the only visit the AKC pays too their home state of Queensland this weekend.
Ethan is best placed of the Electro Industries-backed duo sitting in 16th position, while his sister Maddie – who scored her first AKC podium last year, was engaged in a huge battle for the win in Cadet 9. She sits further down the order. Maddie will be looking to use her experience from last year to be in the mix in Cadet 12- her first year in the category.
The PFG drivers in KA1 – Broc Feeney and Mat Stenner – are both in with a good shot of getting themselves onto the podium of the category at the end of the season, with Feeney still in contention for the outright Championship win.
Feeney is fourth on points – 38 off current Championship leader Scott Sorensen, while Stenner sits fifth on points – 80 behind Sorensen.
The Queensland-based Penrite Oils, Labrys and PFG backed pair have both scored one second place in finals this year – but both have also shown great pace throughout the course of the weekends. This fourth round, they will be looking to piece it all together and secure the elusive first win of the season.
Both were exceptional at Emerald last year, Stenner securing his first ever AKC podium and Feeney leading much of the KA2 final, eventually being pipped for third on the line.
The action officially gets underway on Friday with practice before qualifying and heats Saturday with the event coming to a conclusion on Sunday.
Sunday's events will be livestreamed through www.karting.net.au or shared via www.facebook.com/paulfeeneygroupraceteam.


Dear Father, there was a time I was drug and alcohol free. However, I felt very insecure. Perhaps I had a dysfunctional family. Perhaps I was struggling to get by. Perhaps I wanted simply to fit in with my peers in the neighborhood. Perhaps my parents or older siblings were addicted before I was. For whatever reason, there was that first experience with a narcotic. My body craved another and then another. As my body adjusted, I needed higher dosages to satisfy the craving. I became irresponsible and untrustworthy to my employer and others in my community. My life fell apart. Where did I turn to in my crisis? Drugs and alcohol. It became my escape from the pain of my body and life. I am spiraling out of control. Father, the root of my addiction is that I doubted You. I didn't think You could handle my problems. I turned for help to a false god - the drugs. They have proven what I should have known all along - they cannot save me. They are not a real god. They only make things worse. Father, no effort to fight my drug and alcohol addiction will work unless I surrender to You. I must confess that I am a rebel from God. I must ask that what Jesus Christ did on the cross paid the price for my rebellion. He hung on the cross as if it was He who had the life of addiction that I have. He was the substitute for me. Father, I need to live for You. I need to switch allegiances here. I need to switch gods - from drugs to You. I need now to trust that You are God and the drugs are not. You are in control of my life and not the drugs. I need to depend upon You for all that I am and all that I need. Father, make me an example to all that You rescue those lost in addiction and You restore their lives. I will tell that story to everyone. Amen.

Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, hosted a press conference in New York City on January 11, 2023, to support Human Trafficking Awareness Day and Month.
Through the Goya Cares global initiative, Goya is bringing together community organizations and businesses to show solidarity for one primary cause – to eradicate child trafficking and recognize the growing epidemic, the dangers associated with this epidemic, particularly with children, and the need to raise awareness, and support preventative education.
"At the center of Goya Cares is a heart. Together, we must continue to fight and bring the child back to the center of our care and concern so that they may have hope and the opportunity to live in a world where their life is valued, and their freedom is a reality," said Bob Unanue, President & CEO of Goya Foods.
New York, Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida have the highest rate of human trafficking in the United States; half of the victims are children.

"We are honored to partner with Goya Cares to deliver the Monique Burr Foundation for Children's evidence-based and trauma-informed curriculum to nearly 25,000 students. The curriculum educates and empowers children and adults in their lives to keep them safe from abuse, bullying, online exploitation, and human trafficking. Together, we will educate and protect our most vulnerable citizens," said Tanya Ramos Puig, CEO of The Monique Burr Foundation.
Phase II of Goya Cares also includes a cause-related marketing campaign, the placement of a Goya Cares QR code that leads to the Human Trafficking Hotline on 30 million cans of Goya's top-selling beans, the development of new content and videos for social media to reach a younger audience, and the expansion of the Goya Cares coalition.

In the early 17th century, his family moved from Afghan Turkestan Balkh region to India, to live under the Moghul dynasty. Bedil himself, although ethnically an Uzbek, was born and educated in India. In his later life he spent time travelling and visiting his ancestral lands. His writings are extensive and none have been lost. He also wrote four masnavis, the most important being "Irfaan", which he completed at age It contains many stories and fairy tales, outlining the poets philosophical views.
Possibly as a result of being brought up in such a mixed religious environment, Bedil had considerably more tolerant views than his poetic contemporaries. He preferred free thought to accepting the established beliefs of his time, siding with the common people and rejecting the clergy who he often saw as corrupt. He essentially believed that the world was eternal, and in constant motion. He believed that all life was first mineral, then plant, then animal.
He also expressed disbelief in judgement day and other orthodox tenets of faith. Despite this, he was by no means an atheist or a freethinker in the modern day sense. On the contrary, he had complicated views on the nature of God, heavily influenced by the Sufis with whom he spent a considerable period of time.
Bedil enjoyed virtually no fame in Iran, and only few scholars knew of him until recently. In Afghanistan and Tajikistan, however, he had a following that almost followed like a cult.
People would get together at weekly Bedil meetings to study and interpret his poetry, and he was the poet of choice for many ghazal singers including the most illustrious of all, Ustad Sarahang, who even expressed his desire to be buried at Bedils tomb.
The language of Bedil is as complicated as his thoughts. His sentence structure and use of images often requires time to comprehend, being as difficult for a Dari speaker as Shakespeare is for the modern English speaker. Some of Bedils ghazals: Ba baghi ke chun gol khandida budum Sereshkam nuskha-e dewana-e kist.

When Hell Freezes over, I'll Play Hockey There Too.
Final Touch and Roman Law went at it in the early game. It was quite the interesting game. Big Pawpaw Babikian continues to claim he had a goal and 2 assists. I cannot find it on the score sheet. In fact, there were no goals in the first for either team. It would be the mid second before Final Touch would get on the board. Lots of stuff going on back and forth. This one got a bit out of hand but it got reined in by the third. Glen Marshall would take advantage of a power play and pop the water bottle to decide this one. Rich Dias would have been proud as Final Touch with Mark Clarkin getting the Shut out. 2-0.
Votta Properties meant business in the second game of the night against the Evil Empire, Manville Pizza. 20 seconds in, Steven Albertelli would start it off with youth flexing their muscles, as Adam Babilkian got the helper. The Pizza would settle in and keep the slate clean until the second. 2:45 minutes in Votta would stretch the lead to 2. Mark, White Gloves, Kosinski would cut the lead in half for the black. Ricky Votta would take the team on his back and put away the next one. Albertelli would take the lead again and it would end up being the game winner. Kosinski would pop in the second one before the end of the second to keep it close. 21 seconds into the third Tommy Gaboriault would make it 4-3. it wouldn't be enough as Manville could not muster any more and Votta would pop in 2 more, Adam getting the statement goal with just over a minute to go. Votta is on a tear.
The late game had Manny's all over Vescera. Anthony Lisi started the scoring early. It was Nate Patterson getting it all going and then being rewarded with the long shot from the point. Lisi would start the second has he did the game, with the eventual game winner. Manny's best player in the end was Shannon Caverly and her awesome breakaway for the tally. Head fakes, puck movement, it was a thing of beauty. In the end Manny's would pull it out 8-2.
To play the game is good,
To win is better,
But to love the game is best of all

Amazing Grace is probably the best known hymn. It was written by John Newton. Out of the Depths is his autobiography, though the focus is on his spiritual journey. Once a man who railed against faith, Newton became a devout Christian and lover of Jesus Christ. His story is one of adventure on the high seas, and a life spared to be an example of God's grace and mercy.
This edition of Newton's autobiography has been updated to a more modern language, but in such a way that it has not lost Newton's style. The changes are explained in the preface by Dennis Hillman, who did the revisions.
Newton's story is one that every Christian should read. It's a story of extreme circumstances that most of us will never encounter, but it's because of their extreme nature that God's provision shines all the more. Newton is an inspiration for all believers, and a hope for unbelievers.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019: Will, or Eight Lost Years of William Shakespeare's Life by Victoria Baumgartner
EDINBURGH – Few people are completely in the dark about English playwright/poet William Shakespeare. But did you know about the lost years of his life?
Written and directed by Victoria Baumgartner, Will tells the story of how a young Will becomes the poet William Shakespeare with echoes to his future works, as well as modern music and free dance, in-between fantasies and reality. Performed by a cast of five, we follow young Will Shakespeare as he lives his life out in the peaceful town of Stratford-upon-Avon in the heart of England with his newlywed wife, Anne. But something's missing. He's dreaming of prophecies, rough magic and words no one is able to find. As he starts following these dreams, life takes him on a journey, from under the protection of an immensely rich Lord to nights in taverns with travelling players.
But Elizabethan England is not an easy place to thrive, and the world's stage has more than one surprise in store for him. As characters come and go, young Will is trying to make sense of this great farce that is life, and to find a way to control his destiny. Inspired by the popular belief that, if he had lived today, Shakespeare would have written TV shows, the play's rhythm is deliberately fastpaced. We jump from one scene to the next with just a slight emotion, a character entering or exiting, in a blending of Will's imagination, and reality.
These episodes nevertheless all carry a reference – more or less hidden – to an existing scene of the playwright's repertoire. While doing that, we also want to make Will accessible to everyone-even more so to those who have only heard about him from afar, vaguely, and even with some misgivings and prejudice. The story takes us on the journey of a man with talent, no doubt, but mostly with a good deal of determination, luck, help from his friends and challenges from his foes. Finally, more than anything, putting on a play about Shakespeare is putting on a play about theatre. The main focus of the play is Will's never-ending quest for words, for rhythm and for the workings of the human psyche.
After a first production in French in Lausanne, Switzerland, Will was staged in London at the Rose Playhouse in London in Spring 2018 for a four-week run. It received a number of stellar reviews, as well as two Offies nominations: Best Director for Victoria Baumgartner and Best Male Supporting Role in a Play. It then went on to tour Switzerland and Germany to high acclaim. The setting of the Rose Playhouse was particularly appropriate for the play, with the actors standing on the very ground that their characters had trod. Using this archaeological site as a set, the play took the audience on a journey through time, following the steps of young Will.
For this production, the play received support from the Swiss Embassy in the UK, as well as from the City of Lausanne in Switzerland, where Victoria Baumgartner comes from. It was thus natural that the first stop of the European tour of Will was in Switzerland. Her Majesty's Ambassador in Switzerland, Jane Owen, "really enjoyed" the show and the "fantastic British cast". The play then headed to Germany for the SETT – Stuttgarter Europa Theater Treffen 2018, a renowned European theatre festival. The company delighted audience and press alike, with the Germans being "moved to tears" by the performance (Stuttgarter Zeitung). Originally, Victoria staged the play in French in Switzerland, where it won the Swiss Writer's Guild (SSA / KTV-ATP) national bursary award for dramatic writing. The French version was staged in Lausanne in the Spring 2017, and toured Switzerland in the Fall of the same year.
Now, after three seasons and more than 50 shows with three different casts, they're headed to the Edinburgh Fringe this August to wow yet another set of new audiences. Starring Sam Veck as Shakespeare and Amelia Sweetland as Anne, along with Charlie MacKellar, Kieran Taylor-Ford and Jack Spencer, if you find yourself in Edinburgh this August, don't miss this chance to catch this moving performance and rediscover the beautiful, crazy, romantic life of the Bard.

Will runs from 12th to 24th August 2019 in the Jade Studio at Greenside Venues as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019. Tickets and more information available here

After the recent wave of lay-offs of fake news agents, out of work "journalists" took to Twitter to whine about losing their jobs and beg for sympathy.
On February 10th, 2014, BuzzFeed News published a quiz titled "Should You Learn to Code?," which provided links to articles recommending coding for people with various interests or professions.
Over the next year, other media outlets published pieces on coal miners learning to code. On November 18th, 2015, Wired published, "Can You Teach a Coal Miner to Code?" The article, which took issue with Bloomberg's assertion, focused on several coal miners who were, in fact, learning to code.
On January 24th, 2019, Jalopnik editor-in-chief Patrick George tweeted tweeted he believed in a "special, dedicated section of Hell" for people with anime profile pictures who tweet "learn to code" to journalists who had been laid off (shown below). Within 24 hours, the tweet gained over 1,300 likes and 260 retweets. The tweet was posted shortly after the announcements that BuzzFeed laid of 15% of its staff and The Huffington Post had eliminated its Opinion and Healthcare editorial sections.
Some have argued that the phrase "learn to code" was adopted as a response to articles written about coal miners learning software development as an alternative career (shown below).
It was very funny to tell these journalists, who made a living out of mocking working class people, what they haughtily told our people when they lost their jobs to globalism.
The jab hurt them so bad, that they lobbied Twitter to ban anyone telling a journalist to learn to code.
Successfully lobbied Twitter, in fact.
Which certainly makes one wonder about the relationship between Twitter and liberal journalists.
Rumours have spread that Twitter plans on treating all "learn to code" tweets targeted at journalists retrenched from publications such as BuzzFeed and The Huffington Post as abusive behaviour.
Twitter told Reason that it won't be blanket-banning everyone who publishes one of these tweets, however.
"Twitter is responding to a targeted harassment campaign against specific individuals – a policy that's long been against the Twitter rules," said a Twitter spokesperson.
Jon Levine of The Wrap said that Twitter representatives previously told him the phrase "learn to code" automatically constituted abusive behaviour, but the company has since backtracked on this stance.
The difference between working class people losing their jobs and Buzzfeed and HuffPo journalists losing their jobs is that people actually care about working class people losing their jobs.
The single response that the whining journalists got on Twitter was mockery.
Just imagine being this fragile.
Then imagine you are that fragile, and a member of the class that shapes public perception of reality.

Pumpkin Spice Latte: what it is and American recipe
During the Halloween period, in America everything revolves around the pumpkin: it is incredible how a vegetable so common in our diet actually covers a predominant role in the culture of the New World. On the other hand, it is from there that it was imported by European settlers!
But, a legend of Jack-o'-lantern aside, what is a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
Probably Italians are a name that will postpone little or nothing, but for Americans, it is one of those must drinks, expected throughout the year and consumed with great greed.
Pumpkin Spice Latte: an idea from Starbucks
Since the 1970s, Starbucks has been offering its customers coffee prepared in various ways, as well as desserts and pastries. The secret of its success, probably, is to be found precisely in the intrinsic predisposition to innovation and change that has made this brand a world leader in the sector.
According to the sources, the Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe was developed in its laboratories in 2003, thanks to the success achieved by other seasonal coffee-based drinks already developed.
Peter Dukes, director of Espresso Americas at Starbucks, reported that the idea of making room for the Pumpkin Spice Latte was confirmed by a brainstorm on a group of consumers who underwent 10 different products, just like in a test, also containing fairly common and palatable ingredients, such as chocolate and caramel. At the time there was nothing like it in circulation, especially pumpkin-based, so the surprise was great but extremely positive.
However, after a series of experiments in dosages and spices, the combination of ingredients that pumpkin saw as an integral part of the recipe was discarded, even if the name of the product did not change: it was immediately called by its current name, but the flavor of the vegetable was reproduced through a flavored sugar-based syrup, condensed skimmed milk, pumpkin puree, coloring, and preservatives.
This new recipe was then tested in Vancouver and Washington: success was epochal, sales exceeded all expectations and it was even necessary to make new inventories in the stores to keep up with the demand. The following year, the Pumpkin Spice Latte was sold by all Starbucks stores, becoming, in a very short time, the most famous branded seasonal drink: over 200 million glasses were sold between 2003 and 2015 and lots of commonly used products (as deodorants for the environment) they were inspired by its aromatic notes, also recalling its name.
Just in 2015, then, the definitive review of the recipe that introduced pumpkin instead of flavorings and colorings took place, giving life to a product that is certainly more genuine. This turning point was probably also due to a series of controversies that arose around the choice of Starbucks to use artificial substances in its recipe.
The formula for the success of the Pumpkin Spice Latte
80 million dollars a year, invoiced only in some seasons, there are many for a simple pumpkin-shaped latte. So where does the success of this product come from?
According to Forbes, in addition to the massive marketing campaigns undertaken, especially on a social level, the secret lies in the fact that "products that are available only for a limited period have a sort of integrated marketing that can grow in terms of impact over time ".
The echo was very strong and did not fail to generate emulation and admiration, even from other international brands, such as M & M's or Dunkin 'Donuts.
But how can you taste this flavor, so famous overseas and impossible to find in European territories?
Let's try with a recipe formulated starting from the original one!
The original American recipe of Pumpkin Spice Latte: ingredients and preparation
Following our advice, you can make a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte directly at your home. The ingredients for 2 cups are:
125 ml of water;
75 grams of cane sugar (whole);
50 grams of pumpkin puree (steamed and pureed pumpkin);
400 ml of fresh milk (whole);
2 cups of espresso (very strong);
1 teaspoon of cinnamon;
1 pinch of cloves, nutmeg and ginger powder;
1 pinch pepper.
With the brown sugar and the water, a spicy syrup is prepared, bringing it to a boil over medium-low heat. Then add the spices and pumpkin purée.
At this point proceed almost as if it were a ragù: bring the flame to a minimum, mix well and, in the meantime, let it boil again for about ten minutes. This way you can get a homogeneous and sufficiently dense syrup!
At this point, let it cool in a glass jar: a couple of teaspoons per cup will be enough to get the right flavor!
The standard procedure, in fact, wants 2 teaspoons of spicy syrup, an espresso, warmed milk and, to finish, a tuft of whipped cream adorned with a veil of powdered cinnamon.
That's all! The drink is served to stream and perfumed and is, by itself, capable of creating the perfect autumn atmosphere; that is why he is so loved in America!
Being a recipe based on all-natural ingredients, it is a delicacy that can be easily offered to children: the important thing is to keep the spicy syrup in the fridge and keep it ready for any occasion.

Google banned 134 million 'scam ads' in 2011
The number of "scam ads" banned by Google in 2011 grew significantly, reaching a total of 134 million over the year.
By Andrew Webster May 25, 2012, 1:53pm EDT
Source Google official blog
Share All sharing options for: Google banned 134 million 'scam ads' in 2011
Google makes the majority of its revenue from advertising, but the company is engaged in a seemingly non-stop war to ensure that so-called "scam ads" don't slip through the cracks. Just how big is the problem? Last year Google says it suspended 824,000 accounts for violating its advertising policies, and disapproved 134 million potential ads. It's a huge jump from 2010 when 248,000 accounts were suspended and 56.7 million ads weren't approved. Despite the huge growth in offending accounts and ads, Google says that there "are relatively few malicious players" that it has to deal with. But even with its apparent small size, this group appears to be nothing if not persistent. "As we get better and faster at catching these advertisers," said David W. Baker, Google's director of engineering, advertising, "they redouble their efforts and create more accounts at an even faster rate." In spite of this, Google's fight against bad ads seems to be working — back in March the company announced that the amount of offending ads displayed had been cut by 50 percent.

Government's cyber-security strategy is welcome but business owners still need to take responsibility for their own security
Posted by Jess Walker
in Cyber Security
Australia's Cyber-Security Strategy 2020 is a broad plan by the Federal Government to protect the nation from cyber-criminals but business owners ultimately need to take responsibility for their own cyber-security.
Experts say cyber incidents targeting small, medium and large Australian businesses can cost the economy up to $29 billion/year.
The Federal Government's helpdesk will only provide general advice to business owners and will refer you back to security specialists such as Envisage to implement the necessary cyber-security strategies.
By Jess Walker, Technical Director, Envisage Technology
Australia's Cyber-Security Strategy 2020, released this week by the Federal Government, is a broad plan to protect the nation from cyber-criminals.
But one thing the strategy makes very clear is that while the Government has a significant role to play at a high level, businesses ultimately need to take responsibility for their own cyber-security.
Through the strategy, the Government will invest $1.67 billion into cyber-security over 10 years and develop new capabilities, encourage businesses to protect themselves and their customers, build trust in the digital economy, and support the community to be secure online.
According to the Government, between July 2019 and June 2020, the ACSC responded to 2266 cyber security incidents. Experts say cyber incidents targeting small, medium and large Australian businesses can cost the economy up to $29 billion/year.
It is also estimated that a four-week interruption to digital infrastructures resulting from a significant cyber-incident would cost the Australian economy $30 billion and around 163,000 jobs
While the Government's new strategy is important to protect Australia, business owners must not fall into the trap of thinking it will solve everything and magically keep everyone safe.
The Government has made it very clear that it will focus on critical threats and the most sophisticated actions, while ensuring a baseline level of cyber-resilience across the economy.
Business owners, it says, should take responsibility for their own cyber-security while it helps by providing online training and a 24/7 helpdesk for SMEs that need cyber-security advice or assistance.
While the Federal Government's strategy is commendable, and keeping the nation safe is a priority, its helpdesk would be there to only provide general advice to business owners and in most cases would refer you back to security specialists such as Envisage to implement the necessary cyber-security strategies moving forward.
The key focus of their hotline will be to provide support but the actual implementations around cyber threat review and protection ultimately rests upon your local provider.
To support businesses in taking action to protect themselves and their customers, the Government will also release the voluntary Code of Practice: Securing the Internet of Things for Consumers, to inform businesses about the cyber-security features expected of internet-connected devices available in Australia.
Consumers can be assured the Government is doing its part at a high level by engaging in key partners such as internet providers to protect consumers from some of blanket threats that are online but, as always, a discussion with a cyber-security expert will protect you from more sophisticated style attacks.
I am optimistic and grateful that Australia's Cyber-Security Strategy 2020 is coming to fruition though hopefully many SME's have already implemented such measures or are well on their way to implementing them.
More than ever, business owners need to be vigilant and continually reviewing their systems to ensure they are using the latest policies and products to protect their business.

As supply chains have lengthened and more complex, supply chain professionals are increasingly responsible for anticipating and eliminating a greater number of supply chain risk. The stakes are high: in the past five years, nearly three-fourths of companies experienced significant disruptions. Which makes topic of 'supply chain risk' very important in current context.
There are several supply chain risks involved with working with other companies especially in the supply chain where there is high dependency on the other firms. These supply chain risks can vary from a supplier going bankrupt to not delivering the right quantity of a certain product on time. There are several ways to reduce this risk including having a comprehensive on boarding and monitoring process, working with certified suppliers and having a good rapport with the supplier.
A risk of having a global supply chain is that companies will be operating in a number of countries all with different business cultures. This is a supply chain risk because what is acceptable in one culture is not in another and may even be against the law. Similarly laws, trade policies and trade restrictions vary from country to country therefore when trading, business need to be aware these. These types of policies will change how the supply chain runs. As well as changing policies the supply chain needs to beware of political and economic stability in the countries that they operate in as these could also have a negative impact on the supply chain.
There are a variety of factors that can affect demand, this includes the economic state and other variables, and this is a risk for the supply chain. The more unpredictable demand is the harder it is to know how much to produce therefore it is important to have a comprehensive demand forecasting system in place in order to minimise the risk of producing too much or too little. With more stable demand forecasts the supply chain risk is reduced.
Internal risks to the supply chain are those that cause disruptions to the operations or processes, these disruption can be caused by any process within the business and if not controlled or maintained can have knock on affects for the business and the supply chain. These can vary from machine break downs or production problems to it failures.
The state of the economy effects exchange rates, labour costs and interest rates which determine inflation , not only effecting the economic state of the home country but also with countries that the company or suppliers operate in. As the recent recession demonstrated this can have bad consequences on the supply chain with decreases in worldwide demand, and the economic climate stagnant, cost cutting measures will have to be taken, this may not be the most effecting way for the supply chain but as it spans across a lot of countries the state of the situation in the country will affect all other.
With many of these processes within the supply chain not being done by the company or plant itself there is a risk of lack of control, with high dependency on other firms or products and parts being shipped in from other countries there is a lack of control from the company this is a supply chain risk because the outcome of these can be unknown, a way to reduce this supply chain risk is by having good communication systems in place in order to mitigate some of this risk.
If there is a sudden change in the supply chain cause by any of the above factors then the supply will need to be responsive , this can be difficult because some of these factors are unpredictable therefore having a durable dynamic system in place to respond to any change is vital to keep the supply chain active and running efficiently.
The reputation of a business can have an impact on the supply chain. Unethical practices by external companies liked that the business sources from will impact how stakeholders view the company this could lead to a loss in demand , morale and investment. An example of this Apple who sourced some parts of their products from external suppliers in Foxconn that had unethical practises , although Apple themselves did not have unethical practises this association damaged their reputation.
In supply chain there could be many other types of risk, what is important to understand which one can hurt you most. Supply chain risk management is a high-level concern for supply chain professionals. Supply chain risk management implementation is a difficult task because it requires involvement of various firms across the supply chain. For effective supply chain risk management implementation, managers need to know the enabling factors and their relative importance, hence, keeping an eye on above 10 supply chain risk is crucial to mitigate those risk when and if happens.
A delightful article to read, rich, concise and give an overall idea of the major risks that supply manager will face in real life.
Thank you, M Ahmed, for sharing such a great content each time and I wish u the best of luck in your future articles.

The Supreme Court today acquitted a person in a murder case on the ground that he was a juvenile at the time of commission of the offence.
A Bench of Justices Abhay Manohar Sapre and Dinesh Maheshwari held that since the accused was a juvenile, there was no need to go into the merits of the case. The Court placed reliance on the judgment in Raju vs. The State of Haryana [2019(4) SCALE 398] wherein a similar question was involved.

For the choux, heat the oven to 220°C/fan oven 200°C/mark 7. Oil two baking sheets. Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into a bowl.
Put the butter and 150ml water in a small pan. Bring to a brisk boil and, as soon as the butter has melted, take off the heat and tip in the flour. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes over a low heat until the mixture is smooth and glossy and leaves the side of the saucepan.
Remove from the heat. Cool for 10 minutes before beating in the eggs, a little at a time. Stop beating once the dough is smooth and glossy, but stiff enough to hold its shape. Using a piping bag or tablespoon, place 30 teaspoon-size blobs on to the baking sheet, spacing them well apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Using a skewer, quickly pierce each choux bun and return to the switched-off oven for 5 minutes, leaving the door slightly open. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until cold.
For the lemon cream, whip the cream in a large bowl, until it forms soft peaks. Fold in the lemon zest and curd. Spoon into a piping bag with a small nozzle and fill the choux buns with the cream.
If you want to serve a pile of profiteroles, arrange them on the serving plate before making the caramel. If serving individually, leave the profiteroles on a wire rack and place a sheet of greaseproof paper or foil under it to catch the caramel drips.

So it's true what they say: the play IS the thing.
I draw my sword, while shielding the BOOK–the house din dies.
I'd dive, I'd dip, I'd dance with glee."
to all of life – seen and unseen."
"West Wind is dreaming May, it seems."
I'd ride Pegasus to Ganymede."
To a pied pocket, the zephyr returns.
The time is now. I give you flight!"
"I hum, I dive, I dip, I hive!"
"Behold, Spring is but a dance away!"
I grasp my pen, then capture this day.
on her bare feet stick jeweled flecks of dark mica.
Hands faster than fish swing at the ends of bare brown arms.
and steps through the curved doorway.
Tripping on her tail she slips hair first down the slide…splash!
Watch for her. You'll have but one chance to determine—to decide.
Garner wisdom from the water and from the pearl of the past.
and the bitter taste of impulse rushes into his lungs.
takes an uncharacteristic breath of…water!
Gran gave the daughter who reveled in waves.
flakes of sharp shale seething through fingers – crimson palms stinging.
A sea change ripples his shuddering back.
Papa, just a little longer in the pool! One more time down the slide! Please!
He nods; she won't be his little mermaid much longer.
Time to be tactical—I'll ask my friends what I should stow.
Whose voice? I turned to see. I was shocked. Irene's!
I tuck them close—still warm—then take my first step toward the coast.
I blow a kiss. I hike for days, blue eggs pressed to my chest.
One evening's rest, campfire low, shifting shadows brought a guest.
"I found a bird, I found a song, I found a word," I say.
The hidden eggs, I make them known. "I've brought these on the way.
We share an omelet and some talk; is my quest at an end?
For now my dreams dance along with a gentle blue eyed friend.
they circle, soar, then light in the lap of an open-mouthed child; the crowd goes wild.
It was an honor to play along again. Thank you for leading us in this adventure, Irene!
Love that title! This was such fun again this year, Irene. Thanks for your poetic energy.
Amazing experience. I'm still sweating under that colorful tent!
Thanks so much, Irene. This was loads of fun, and it turned out much better than the circus!
I'm so grateful for my word acrobat friends! Thank you, Irene!
I love seeing all these fun collaborations with mermaids, pirates and luminescent jellyfish. Such a fertile place to wash up in the kid lit ocean.
Spring has Sprung! And some BIG announcements!

"Export normals" defaults to true and the screenshot of my settings that I posted above had it set to true, but that could very well have been the answer. I just gave exporting the .obj another shot, paying particular attention to that setting, and this time it worked correctly.
The previous .obj *does* have normals in it, though. Perhaps for whatever reason the model's normals were flipped when I exported it the first time? I did tinker with the .blend file a bit more in the interim so I may have fixed the normals by mistake.
Hey Guys can you help me with this, it appears I install the ships but I can't see them, i don't know what im doing wrong.
Don't you just put the given named folders and match where they go?
the pak file is just a renamed zip file containing the objects, textures or models or whatever is needed to load the ship.
- import in blender the .dae and export as wavefront (.obj) with options as previously shown in this thread.
- put .mtl in textures/spacecraft and .obj in models/spacecraft and create a simple .sss file.
- Open SE and build the object which create .sml .cfg and .sm files.
- modify created .sml and .cfg as needed to point at right textures.
After a bit of trial and error I got what I wanted.
in the new update i notice that there is no .mtl files. why?
A few?? I'm afraid I don't have much time. Do you have trouble exporting .3ds to .obj with blender?
Quick question with using offset if I want the very backside of a ship to be the landing point where I stop above a planet to a stand still and let its gravity pull me in then prograde so it falls backwards into the planet which of the (0 0 0 0) would I set so the end of the ship stops on contact instead of default middle of the ship with the back half being eaten up by the hungry surface?
Sorry had to read a couple times.
When you need to move or rotate some modules or even the entire ship, use the SE integrated ship editor, which will let you change those parameters from GUI (Shift-F2 when the ship is selected).
field in the .sss file where you set the depth of the ships contact point to a surface. default is middle of ship mass.
I wouldn't change manually those parameters unless my life would depend on it The editor I mentioned it's made precisely for that. You will see the effects of your translations/rotations on the model, and when you're satisfied you can save the results.
For my modded habitats I tweaked every module with that editor.
This is too hard to understand for me. What I have understand, is what you are thinking what Offset parameter controls collision detection. You are wrong. It controls location of the ship's center of mass. Collision detection always work as is ship is a ball of a radius of 1/8 of the Length (another parameter in the sss file). Yes, I know, physics engine in SE is crappy, but you can't do anything with it.
Yes you may change Offset so collision will look more naturally, if you'll attempt to land normally. But if not, you ship may go underground completely. Also, center of mass is used to rotate camera around ship (with right mouse button, or automatic smooth camera), so with it shifted, rotation will look weird.

Sitting in the lower level baseline is a good option for fans who want to be on the main level, but aren't able to find seats along the sideline. Seats here might have difficult views of the court from being behind the basket, but you get an excellent head on viewing angle to the endzone videoboards.
It is important to note that reserved student seating occupies the closest options behind the baskets, so these sections do not extend as close to the court as other lower level options along the sidelines. Seating rows are numbered.

Harry takes the Contessa out on the town to watch Zeke, an old friend from way back, perform. As the night goes on and as Harry and the Contessa slip into a number of drinks the unease of Zeke's demeanor is apparent. Mr Kasankas is holding Zeke's past over his head to get to Harry Rule. Zeke is nearly killed in front of Harry starting the chain of events to show the danger that both Zeke and Harry are in. Zeke is played against saving his name and saving his friend, a difficult decision at best.
An episode that to me shows Harry in a different light, losing some of his cynicism and playing the fool to the game Zeke is playing. It is a standard blackmail story with a twist , using Zeke to find Harry and then manipulating Harry for some information. Shane Rimmer plays Zeke and Director and does a decent job playing his poor soul routine. A decent episode but not close to the best.

I laughed so much with friends of the same school in the travel of Sydney.
It's important for me to go with whom than where to go.
Because our staying term is different from each other, it's about three months to live in Australia together.
But I'm really glad to travel together like this.
It was still summer in Sydney, unlike Melbourne.
I was comfortable at Sydney harbour to enjoy a sense of space.
We could see a lot of yachts and the city by using a jet boat.
I recommend a jet boat.
Spin that wheel......Harbour lights as seen from Lavender Bay.

If you have been arrested for DUI or DWI in Iowa, it is obviously cause for concern but not for despair. By hiring a quality defense lawyer who can protect your rights, there are a host of ways your case may be defendable. That's why it would be a good idea to consider hiring one of America's DUI and DWI Defense Attorneys now. Here's a few ways our lawyers may be able to win your case. Even if your case involves a drug, drugs, medicine or alcohol, they will help.
ILLEGAL STOP OF PERSON OR VEHICLE IN IOWA a driver cannot be stopped unless the officer has a reasonable and articulate basis to believe that a traffic law or other law has been violated. Similarly, a person cannot be seized unless a violation has occurred.
WEAVING INSIDE THE LANES IS NOT ILLEGAL IN IOWA weaving without crossing any lines is not a violation of the law, and a vehicle cannot be stopped for that reason.
ANONYMOUS REPORT OF DRUNK DRIVING IN IOWA a car cannot be stopped simply because an anonymous citizen reported that the driver was drunk.
STANDARD FIELD SOBRIETY TESTING IS INACCURATE IN IOWA in healthy individuals, the one-leg stand test is only 65% accurate, and the walk-and-turn test is only 68% accurate in determining if a person is under the influence. Those persons with injuries, medical conditions, 50 pounds or greater overweight, and 65 years or older cannot be validly judged by these tests.
NON-STANDARDIZED FIELD TESTS ARE INVALID IN IOWA neither the Federal Government (NHTSA) nor medical science considers touching your finger to your nose, or saying the alphabet, or counting backwards, as valid sobriety tests.
BREATH TESTING IS INACCURATE IN IOWA virtually all experts concede that one breath test alone is unreliable. Breath testing is subject to various inaccuracies, including a variance as much s +/- 12.5%, non-specificity for ethanol, etc.
BOOKING ROOM VIDEOS IN IOWA Many police stations videotape suspects at the police station, where their speech is clear and their balance is perfect, in spite of police testimony to the contrary.
IN-SQUAD VIDEOS IN IOWA more and more often, the suspect's driving and performance on field tests is being recorded; often contradicting police testimony.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE SPEEDY TRIAL IN IOWA If a client is not provided with a trial within a certain period of time, which varies between states, through delays of the court or prosecutor, the charges must be dismissed.
POLICE BLOOD TEST INACCURATE IN IOWA Many times, police blood testing fails to follow prescribed rules of testing, analysis, or preservation recommendations.
HOSPITAL BLOOD TEST INACCURATE IN IOWA Hospital blood tests overestimate a person's true level by as much as 25% in healthy, uninjured individuals, and are not statistically reliable in severely injured persons.
BREATH TEST OPERATOR UNLICENSED IN IOWA Most states require a Breath Test Operator to possess a valid, unexpired operator's license, or the breath test result is inadmissible.
BREATHALYZER MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS IN IOWA Most states specify that if there is a malfunction or repair of the breath test instrument within a certain period of time before or after a suspect's breath test, the results of the suspect's test are presumed invalid.
BREATH TEST OPERATOR LICENSE EXPIRED IN IOWA Most states require that a Breath Test Operator must possess an unexpired operator's license, or the breath test result is inadmissible.
BREATH TEST DEVICE NOT APPROVED IN IOWA A breath-testing instrument must be listed on the Federal List of Approved Breath Evidential Instruments and the ISP approved list of Devices, or the results are inadmissible.
FAILURE TO PROVE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE IN IOWA A defendant's admission to driving, without more, does not prove a charge of driving under the influence.
INDEPENDENT WITNESSES IN IOWA Often times, independent witnesses to accidents, bartenders, hospital personnel and others can provide crucial evidence of the defendant's sobriety.
FAILURE TO MIRANDIZE IN IOWA Prosecutors may not use as evidence the statements of a defendant in custody for a DUI when the police have failed to properly issue Miranda Warnings.
FIELD SOBRIETY TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED IN IOWA According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, improperly administered field tests are not valid evidence of intoxication.
OFFICER'S PRIOR DISCIPLINARY RECORD IN IOWA A police officer's previous disciplinary record can be used to attack the officer's credibility.
PORTABLE BREATH TEST INADMISSIBLE IN IOWA Most states prohibit the use of portable breath testing results as evidence at trial in a DUI case.
PORTABLE BREATH TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED IN IOWA The manufacturers of portable breath testing devices require a minimum of two tests to consider the results evidential in nature.
FAILURE TO CONDUCT OBSERVATION PERIOD IN IOWA Most states require that a driver be observed continuously for a minimum period, such as twenty minutes, prior to a breath test in order for the results to be considered admissible and valid.
MEDICAL AND HEALTH PROBLEMS IN IOWA Medical problems with legs, arms, neck, back and eyes can affect the results of field sobriety tests. Further, other medical conditions can also affect the validity of breath test results.
BAD WEATHER IN IOWA Weather reports establishing high winds, low visibility, and other conditions are available to explain poor driving or poor balance.
LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST IN IOWA A police officer must have specific and articulable facts to support any arrest for DUI, or the suspension will be reversed and the evidence suppressed at trial.
POST-DRIVING ABSORPTION OF ALCOHOL IN IOWA The prosecutor must prove the blood or breath alcohol at the time of driving. Recent consumption of alcohol just prior to driving will cause the test results to be higher than what the true level was when the person was operating the automobile.
INTERFERING SUBSTANCES IN IOWA Many items contain forms of alcohol, which may cause false results, such as asthma spray, cough drops, paints, fingernail polish. These items can cause the breath results to be invalid.
BREATH MACHINE NOT PROPERLY OPERATED IN IOWA The manufacturers of breath testing devices have specified protocols, which must be followed for a breath result to be valid. Failure to follow these requirements will result in improper readings.
FAILURES TO PRODUCE DISPATCH TAPES IN IOWA Most stops of vehicles are recorded on dispatch tapes, as well as recording police communications regarding an arrest of an individual. Failure to preserve such tapes upon request can cause all evidence, which could have been recorded to be suppressed.
MISLEADING STATEMENTS BY POLICE OFFICERS IN IOWA Any misleading statement by the police regarding the consequences of taking (or refusing) a blood, breath, or urine test will cause the suspension to be reversed and removed from the driver's record.
STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS IN IOWA A misdemeanor charge of DUI must be filed within a certain period of time (which varies between states) of the date of offense, or the charges will be dismissed outright.
PRIVATE PROPERTY IN IOWA A person who has not driven the car on a public highway cannot be suspended for drunk driving.
FAILURE TO DISCLOSE EXPERTS IN IOWA The failure of the prosecutor to disclose the state's expert(s) will cause those witnesses to be barred from testifying against the defendant.
LACTATE RINGERS IN IOWA When hospital staff use lactate ringers during the treatment of a patient, the hospital blood serum results will report falsely elevated, and therefore invalid, readings.
FAILURE TO RECORD CERTIFICATION TESTS IN IOWA the failure to include the value of the simulator solution used to test breath machines will cause the breath test results to be inadmissible in court against the driver.
FORCED BLOOD DRAWS IN IOWA In some states, the police may not take a blood test against the driver's consent where there has not been an injury involved, or the result is inadmissible.

Permanent alimony is governed under Florida Statutes Section 61.08 (8), and provides that permanent alimony may be awarded to provide for the needs and necessities of life as they were established during the marriage of the parties for a party who lacks the financial ability to meet his or her needs and necessities of life following a dissolution of marriage. Permanent alimony may be awarded following a marriage of long duration if such an award is appropriate upon consideration of the factors set forth in subsection (2), following a marriage of moderate duration if such an award is appropriate based upon clear and convincing evidence after consideration of the factors set forth in subsection (2), or following a marriage of short duration if there are written findings of exceptional circumstances.
In awarding permanent alimony, the court shall include a finding that no other form of alimony is fair and reasonable under the circumstances of the parties.

When a police officer or supervisor comes to our Firm and is faced with a pending investigation or a potential disciplinary action, there are a number of considerations to take into account when we prepare to defend them. The first consideration is usually to make sure that we have all of the documents necessary in order to defend the police officer / supervisor under investigation or who has been accused of alleged misconduct.
Police officers and supervisors have a number of tools at their disposal in seeking information or documents in representing them. These tools vary somewhat based on whether the police officer or supervisor is employed by state, local or Federal employers, and whether the officer or the officer's union (when applicable) requests the information on their behalf.
No matter what stage a police officer or supervisor is at during a departmental administrative investigation (anywhere from notification to the completion of the administrative inquiry) it is very important for the individual or law firm representing them to seek out key documents in defense of the allegations and to do so as early in the process as possible. The reason why we do so as early as possible in cases is that documents can easily be lost or misplaced later in the process.
The first type of document that should be requested when facing a potential investigation, if it is possible to obtain, is a copy of the administrative complaint which lists the alleged misconduct under investigation. Sometimes the rules of individual police departments or a police union's collective bargaining agreement (where applicable) provide that an officer or supervisor investigated regarding misconduct be provided a copy of the investigative complaint within so many days. Often times, even when this is required, it still is not provided unless one asks.
The next types of documents that we usually try and obtain in an officer's defense case are the relevant General Orders or Department Orders governing the alleged conduct which is the subject of the investigation or complaint. A police officer or supervisor will generally have access to these documents through their employment and may have been issued a set of them by their department when they began employment. These documents are critical in that they define the conduct at issue and assist us in planning the officer's defense.
The third type of documents that are usually important to request in regards to administrative investigations are any written or recorded statements by witnesses, followed by copies of correspondence/emails between witnesses and/or department employees. These types of documents or records are usually made available later in the administrative process, following the completion of the administrative investigation. The key is to obtain these materials as early in the process as possible.
Depending on where a police officer or supervisor is employed (local, state, federal), there are a few additional ways in which one can attempt to seek information and/or documents related to these investigations. An officer's options generally depend on where the individual is employed and also whether or not they are employed in a unionized department.
1. Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Requests: These types of requests are based upon provisions within applicable police union CBAs which provide officers access to certain types of information that is required to be provided under the terms of an individual CBA. For example, many police union CBAs require that the department provide a copy of all complaints filed against an officer or supervisor within a certain number of days.
2. Union Information Requests: Typically, these kinds of requests can be initiated by federal sector law enforcement officers through their unions. There is a provision, under 5 U.S.C. § 7114(b) of the U.S. Code which provides that a federal sector union can seek copies of information (documents, data, recordings) which are relevant to their defenses and/or grievances. In other public sector departments (i.e. Local (city) or State), similar laws can also provide for police union access to relevant information on behalf of police officers. Therefore, if the officer is employed in the union sector, this can provide an important right to obtain certain types of information for use in officer defense.
3. Freedom of Information Act Requests: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests can be sent by any private citizen under 5 U.S.C. § 552 to a federal agency or federal police department, seeking information that might be helpful in cases. Many states and local jurisdictions have their own versions of FOIA, so be sure to consider these avenues when seeking relevant information.
4. Due Process Requests: These types of requests are based upon the constitutional right of public employees to obtain documentation relied upon by a public employer in disciplining a public sector (federal, state or local) police officer. It is based on the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution and can provide a basis for relevant information that can be used to defend police officers and supervisors when they are defending against allegations lodged against them.
5. Discovery Requests: Discovery requests can seek needed information from a variety of litigation contexts. For instance, if an officer or supervisor in the federal sector is disciplined or removed from service, often times you can take an appeal of the action to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). When such an appeal is filed, an officer has a number of important rights in seeking documents. Many states have similar types of appeals boards like the MSPB where discovery can be used in that process. This principle can also apply when a police officer or supervisor has been sued or has filed a lawsuit against the department relating to misconduct. In such a case, an officer or supervisor might be able to use the civil process to obtain important documents in their respective cases.
When a police officer or supervisor is facing a disciplinary investigation or action, there are many methods in which to attempt to seek documents in order to defend them. As explained, there are many potential methods available for seeking these documents, but the key is to work on doing so as early in the process to ensure the best defense possible for the police officer or supervisor. If you have individual questions about your individual situations, please contact our law firm at www.berrylegal.com to schedule a time to discuss them.
