Watching a documentary last night, where someone quoted Walter Pater. I was intrigued, and did some research. He was a Victorian academic and essayist, flourishing from the mid 1860s till his death in 1894, influencing people like Oscar Wilde, who was fifteen years younger than him. He was an expert on the Renaissance, and seems to have been a key figure in making the world aware of the works of Botticelli. As you can see from the picture, he also sported a rather over-the-top moustache.
His initial view of life seems to be that it was for the pursuit of pleasure – of a high, sophisticated sort, of course. Hence his famous quote: "To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life."
He got into a certain amount of hot water for this, including from George Eliot, who said this was just shallow hedonism dressed up in academic garb. He later refined his position, sniping at his former disciple Wilde: "A true Epicureanism aims at a complete though harmonious development of man's entire organism. To lose the moral sense therefore, for instance, the sense of sin and righteousness, as [does] Mr. Wilde's hero—his heroes are bent on doing as speedily, as completely as they can—is to lose, or lower, organisation, to become less complex, to pass from a higher to a lower degree of development." Ouch!
Pater reckoned that great art lifted us up to a plane of understanding that would make immoral acts senseless. He described art as "A magic web… that penetrat[es] us with a network, subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world." Great art somehow shows us what really matters, even if we're not quite sure how it does it.
Another source of beauty / wisdom is landscape. He advised us to be perpetually on the lookout for magical moments. "A sudden light transfigures a trivial thing, a weathervane, a windmill, a winnowing flail, the dust in the barn door; a moment." He had a kind of Daoist view of reality as something in perpetual flux, and saw the sensitive viewer as seizing the best bits of that flux.
In both cases, we can get better at appreciating both art and momentary beauty: he's an optimist at heart, I feel.
Politicos won't like his ideas. Conservatives dislike his disdain for duty. The left (and the populist right) will see him as an elitist – which he clearly was, of course. Life wasn't about any old pleasure that came to hand, but ones that came via a scrupulously nurtured sensibility, this perpetual learning to spot and cherish beauty.
Was he right? Like most thinkers, he stands out because he put his case strongly. Given the complexity of human nature, I don't see why one can't follow him most of the way down his path, learning a lot about how to maximise both pleasure and what it teaches us, then pause before the end. Ethics and aesthetics don't clash most of the time. The philosopher, of course, replies, 'OK, but what happens when they do?'

Podcast Recap: Key Takeaways from World Centric's Annie Davis
Town Haul Podcast | Episode 7
Host: Amy Koonin (Rubicon Global)
Guest: Annie Davis (World Centric, Director of Business Development)
Finding the right avenues to dispose of waste is an essential element of sustainability. Finding ways to turn this waste into zero-waste, however, might be more difficult to figure out. Fortunately, B Corp World Centric has risen to the challenge. By replacing plastic and styrofoam products with high-quality compostable products, World Centric is showing the world that sustainable living is possible.
The Town Haul's host Amy Koonin chatted with World Centric's Director of Business Development Annie Davis about compostable vs. biodegradable labels, food delivery services, and how World Centric is promoting zero-waste through compostable packaging.
On why to use commercial composting facilities:
DAVIS: "There are products that are certified compostable products. The certification is a third party certification that verifies they can turn back into the soil when they are processed in a commercial composting facility.
So, not in your backyard, but in a commercial facility and this is because in your backyard, the temperature in your home composting pile does not get high enough, it doesn't get hot enough in there for these products to actually break down, where they can actually break down is in a large scale commercial composting facility."
On the difference between compostable and biodegradable:
DAVIS: "If you are a consumer or you are a business and you're considering using compostable products, you're interested in these kinds of products, it's really important to look for BPI certification because this is the gold standard for compostability.
A lot of other types of products out there will claim, for instance, that they're biodegradable, but biodegradable does not have certification attached to it and actually doesn't really mean much because anything is biodegradable over enough time. A compostable certification has a time limit associated with it. So in order for something to be certified commercially compostable, it has to turn into soil in a commercial composting facility in under four months."
On how to bring sustainability into food delivery services:
DAVIS: "Everything really happens when consumers who are like your voice is the loudest voice that these companies hear. They want to keep your business and they certainly want to do everything they can to please you and retain you.
The number one thing to do would be either refusing the official service or just asking the question, "Do you offer a more sustainable option? Have you looked at it? Why not?" We're seeing a lot of growth for our business in mobile food delivery because the packaging enhances the whole brand experience for those delivery services."
On how World Centric and Rubicon focus on zero-waste:
DAVIS:"World Centric… is looking at literally the origin of the materials where the products start, the design of it, and designing it for something that can have a lower impact. But for something to be truly zero-waste, it can't just be designed for that impact, it has to be connected to an infrastructure and a system where it can be kept out of the landfill.
Now that's why it's so critical that Rubicon is doing the work that you all are doing to help consumers and to help businesses and institutions to find those alternate end of life options that use products that have been designed to be zero-waste but may not always achieve their desired intended outcome."

A patient who successfully battled cancer has raised and donated more than £3,000 for The James Cook University Hospital.
Trevor Rand, 37, from Nawton near Helmsley, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015.
A period of chemotherapy and an operation ensued and he is now cancer free and looking forward to life.
Deciding to raise funds for the ward he was treated on, Trevor and friends, with Sarah in the support car, embarked on the gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge.
Walking 24 miles in less than 12 hours, Trevor and his intrepid troupe successfully scaled the three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (691m), Whernside (728m) and Ingleborough (723m).
The self-employed builder and property maintenance contractor said: "The walk was brutal and relentless, definitely harder than any of us was expecting, but the weather was glorious.
"On the descent of the second hill, Whernside, our feet were about broken and the fatigue had kicked in.
"My wife Sarah met us at the start of the last hill with home-made energy food and drinks – that was a Godsend.
"Getting started to walk the last hill was a challenge. I honestly didn't believe I would make it up to the top. But with the support of the team we made it.
Trevor presented the cheque for £3,036 to the hospital and paid tribute to his fellow walkers and supporters.
He said: "I'd like to thank all the team: John Ashby, Nicola Wakefield, Callum Hutchinson ,Sophie Harrison, Danial Dixon, Steven Purvis and Garti Magar Sharwan, plus Sarah in the support car.
Trevor Rand presents the cheque after his charity Three Peaks walk.
"I'd also like to thank everyone for the generous donations", he continued.
"We had collection tins in local shops including Watkins Wright hair salon, Tesco, Inkwell arts tattoo studio, PowerPoint and JT Atkinson builders' merchants in Thirsk, BATA petrol station and Edgemoor vets in Helmsley. We raised more than £800 from their staff and customers.

Q: Fetching charges in Stripe for yesterday and current month date I'm trying to fetch stripe charges for yesterday and the current month depending on the switch statement. However, I think I've got something off. I don't think I'm constructing my date objects as they need to be. This is in JavaScript:

const getEpochValueForTimeRangeStart = function getEpochValueForTimeRangeStart(range) {
  const now = new Date();
  let returnValue;
  switch(range) {
    case 'ALL':
      returnValue = new Date(0);
      break;
    case 'TODAY':
      returnValue = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0);
      break;
    case 'YESTERDAY':
      returnValue = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate() - 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
      break;
    case 'MONTH':
      returnValue = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() - 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
      break;
  }
  return Math.floor(returnValue.getTime() / 1000);
}

The 'ALL' and 'TODAY' ones work as expected, but the other two ('YESTERDAY' and 'MONTH') don't work as expected. What am I doing wrong here?

Daniel Ortega becomes the "supreme troll" of left-wing social networks in Latin America
by Confidencial | Nicarágua
Por Mildred Largaespada
Updated 1 de December, 2021 at 11:30 am
The caudillo's hateful words appeared immediately on social networks and became a trend on November 8
The pro-Ortega networks were left talking to themselves while all pro-democracy communities in Nicaragua rushed to create content on November 7, in a big fight to create trending hashtags as Daniel Ortega, president and candidate for the Frente Sandinista, became a political troll, as revealed by the public debate monitoring of social networks on that day.
The most notable disturbance in the public debate on Nicaraguans social network was seeing the candidate Ortega becoming the supreme troll of the pro-Ortega network by describing his critics as "sons of a bitch of the Yankee empire". Ortega's hateful words were said in a national radio and television network and appeared immediately on social networks, becoming a trend on November 8.
Something may seen as "troll" behavior when users publish degrading content with which they try to draw attention to distort public and civic debate on social media. Candidate Ortega helped diminish the public debate at an accelerated pace, and some accounts that support his ideology happily created content replicating his words, although the main members of the Ortega network were very careful to reproduce them, since they know they are being observed by social media administrators that have deleted their accounts due to abusive behavior in the past.
The regime builds the enemy
For some time now, Ortega's wife and the country's vice resident, Rosario Murillo, has held the infamous title of troll Ortega due to her degrading and hateful words to Nicaraguans who criticize her way of governing. Her words – puchitos, satánicos, terroristas, comejenes, diabólicos, etc. – have been and still are disseminated in a communication strategy to "build the enemy", a communicative need that the regime has to dehumanize its critics and to numb people's natural feelings and their propensity to solidarity towards the victims.
Ortega's words were condemned worldwide. In fact, there could have been even more outrage if he had correctly translated the quote he used, since the original version did not use the word for "dog", but rather "bitch". In any case, Ortega's message referred to the animalization of human beings, particularly the political prisoners he detains, so that they do not overshadow his pretension to remain in power.
On social media, his words were also ridiculed. This was visually portrayed by @mapachejambado in his meme, which was certified as a tuitazo in the mega tuitazo category of the @memo_mclean account, which highlights tweets with eloquent and timely content in the Nicaraguan Twitter sphere.
Tweet 1: How many of you want to see Daniel sing and dance to HIS OWN DEFEAT?
The struggle to create trending hashtags
There was a great effort by users to make trending hashtags on Nicaraguan social networks during November 7. It was found that an alternative network was designed by the pro-Ortega group to deal with the resounding blow that Meta (the owner of Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp) gave them by dismantling the "troll farm" used to inflate their follower numbers.
As reported in our previous report, the alternative propaganda network focused on enlisting the help of accounts with high numbers of followers, the media and members of political parties who sympathize with the Latin American populist left-wing. That's how the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales (@evoespueblo, with 1.2 million followers), used the pro-Ortega hashtag (# EleccionesSoberanas2021) and gave a notable boost to inflate the numbers in Nicaragua. Other accounts participating in this were @OrlenysOV (of the Venezuelan PSUV), @TeleSurTv, @ActualidadRT and @SputnikMundo (both from Russia), for instance.
The alternative network accounts organized by the FSLN managed to promote their hashtags and reach the trending topics, as recorded by the Trendsmap tool. Pro-Ortega hashtags have been promoted since October 31 by the FSLN, but did not reach any followers in Nicaraguan communities – who blocked them due violent behavior – and did not become trending topics. The monitoring tools registered this lack of support as well as the recovery they saw when they turned to outside help to get noticed. This was how the impact of the alternative network was recorded:
The graph shows how the pro-Ortega network has promoted its propaganda and hashtags since October 31, obtaining very little organic engagement. (Data source: Twitter via Socioviz, registered from October 31 to November 8, 2021)
Some Nicaraguan users sympathetic to the democratic cause (known as Azul y Blanco) created a high volume of organic content, that is, content that was not organized as a propaganda operation, but instead was individual and spontaneous. In fact, the different digital communities did not agree on the use of a single hashtag due to the ideological differences that exist between them. This lessened their impact, although "blue and white" digital activists have managed to become a trend due to the work they have done.
Some publications that had more than a thousand likes and that did not use hashtags were not reflected in the boost registered by the analysis tools that reveal trends. "The truth is that there is no consensus because a lot of people don't want to relate to a specific movement as it doesn't align with their personal values," said one of the strongest creators of political content on Instagram, who prefers not to reveal herself out of fear of retaliation.
Twitter user @Nicaclic, who uses an anonymous account to protect themselves from the regime, appreciated the support the Nicaraguan people gave to the "blue and white" hashtags: "We write this content because it is born from us, it just comes out, it's voluntary. We speak for political prisoners, so that the media are not censored and to support victims in their search for justice. These elements are what make us tweet. The blue and white content is greater than the use of hashtags".
Tweet 2: Here is the behavior of the HT #YoNoBotoMiVoto.
A success that doesn't need Sandinista Troll Farms. On Sunday #7N, we showed at the ballot boxes and on the networks that Nicaragua did NOT vote. Don't miss the review by @1001tropicos http://ow.ly/nBBY50GJscj
#SOSNicaragua
The triumphalist political account of the Ortega and Murillo regime was left talking to themselves on Nicaraguan social networks, where they failed to engage users from different communities participating in the digital conversation. They continued to spread triumphalist propaganda only among supporters of dictatorships around the world.
Nicaragua's digital civic debate should not be downgraded to the level at which the regime currently approaches it, nor should Nicaraguan social media continue to serve as amplifiers of the hate narrative and construction of the enemy. Nicaraguan users on social media need to exchange ideas, converging on content that values the aspirations of young people, and not frustrate them. Although the vulgar and grotesque behaviors want to dominate the content of social media, we have to encourage users to be above the invitations to hateful debates among Nicaraguans.

How To Buy The Best Secateurs - Which?
Using a decent pair of secateurs allows you to cleanly cut through woody stems when pruning, but a bad pair struggles to make a cut and leaves damaged stems.
Secateurs are the perfect hand tool for pruning and cutting back plants in your garden. They are particularly well-suited to precision cutting for delicate plants and shrubs.
Just want to know which are the best pair of secateurs? Head to our secateurs reviews.
Which type of secateurs do you need?
Do you need to cut small, delicate stems? Do you have lots of weedy branches that need trimming? Are you trying to cut really tough, fibrous plants?
There are different secateurs for different jobs; we explain the different kinds of secateurs and which is best suited for your needs.
For precision pruning and general use, bypass secateurs are the best choice.
Bypass secateurs have a blade sharpened on just one side, which cuts past a curved metal surface, similar to a pair of scissors.
They are great if you have a lot of precision pruning to do, as the design of the blades makes it easy to get into small gaps and to prune side stems flush with main stems.
If you keep the blades sharp, they will give a very clean cut through softer stems as well.
Don't use your bypass secateurs to cut through stems thicker than the recommended cutting diameter - this can easily damage them. The thickness of the stem or branch you can cut with your secateurs will differ depending on make and model, so check this before you buy.
Loppers or a pruning saw can be used for thicker stems.
We test bypass secateurs as they are the most common type; head over to our secateurs reviews to see the ones we've tested.
Choose anvil secateurs if you cut lots of hard, woody stems.
Anvil secateurs cut like a knife on a chopping board; the blade is sharpened on both sides, and when the secateurs are closed, the blade meets a flat metal or plastic block.
Anvil secateurs cut through woody stems quickly, with less effort than bypass secateurs. But they crush as well as cut, so will not leave such a clean cut - particularly on softer stems.
The design of anvil secateurs means that their lower flat blocks can get in the way in tight corners. It also makes it very difficult to cut side stems flush with main stems.
Ratchet secateurs most often have an anvil blade.
As the cut is made in a number of stages, less force is used overall to make the cut, but this can take some getting used to.
Power lever or geared secateurs are easier to use, although they don't have quite the same power to get through woody twigs. Unless you have a lot of woody twigs to cut through, stick to normal secateurs.
Cordless secateurs are battery powered to take the effort out of pruning. The battery powers a cutting assist, which kicks-in when the secateurs senses you're starting to struggle.
Cordless secateurs can be useful if you are struggling to cut woody, tough branches. They can also be helpful if you have a weak grip and need a little extra force to help you cut. Beware though that they are much heavier than ordinary secatuers.
Blunt secateurs are hard to cut with and will damage your plants.
You can prevent this from happening by sharpening your secateurs as soon as you notice they're not cutting cleanly.
You can take them to a professional sharpening service or if you don't have a sharpening service near there are companies online that you can post your secateurs to for sharpening. You can also buy a tool sharpener and do it yourself.
All of the sharpeners were easy to use so you'll be safe picking up any of these models. However, the Felco sharpeners, which cost about £20 each, were best at putting an edge back on the secateur blades.
Sap will gum up the spring and corrode the blades of your secateurs, so clean them with soapy water after each use, dry them, and give them a spray of lubricating oil.
If you're cutting diseased plants, dip your secateurs in household disinfectant before you move to other plants.
If your secateurs get wet, don't delay drying the blades.
Oil them or they will rust - the oil will keep the blades and spring working smoothly.
Losing the spring often spells the end of secateurs.
Some brands offer a replacement service or sell replacements, but often when it's gone, it's gone.
If lost springs are an irritation for you, then you might like to try secateurs that have the spring held within the body.
Some secateurs, such as Niwaki, don't use a traditional spring, which eliminates this problem altogether.
Look for a pair of secateurs that has a small loop built into the handle. You can use this for attaching a wrist band, some even come with a wrist band attached.
Buy a holster for your secateurs. It will act as a good aid to memory, as well as giving you somewhere safe to keep them.
Buy secateurs with colourful handles - yellow and red will stand out in the garden - or stick some colourful tape on them.
Why are Felco secateurs so popular?
Felco produces classic quality secateurs, which are generally the choice of professionals.
They have replaceable cutting blades, sturdy aluminium handles and come with a lifetime guarantee.
They are extremely popular, as they can be completely dismantled for maintenance and have a reputation for longevity - one pair of Felcos should last more than a lifetime.
If your Felco secateurs need a complete overhaul, for £20 you could send them for a full service by Burton McCall (the company that distributes Felco secateurs).
We sent off a pair of well-used Felcos and they were returned within 10 days with new blades and a new spring.
What's different about Japanese secateurs?
Japanese-steel blades are said to hold a keen edge for longer.
The spring often resembles the spring from a clothes peg, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's weaker than other types of spring.
Traditional Japanese secateurs often come with different-coloured handles - red and yellow, or red and white, for example.
This is a rather nifty idea, as it means that during the day the red handle of the secateurs is easy to spot, while at night the white handle becomes more visible.
We've tested a pair of secateurs from Japanese brand Niwaki; head over to our secateurs reviews to see what our trial gardeners thought of them.
When choosing secateurs, it's important to make sure that they not only perform well, but also suit your hand shape and size.
It's worth asking the retailer to open the packaging for you to try before you buy.
We also indicate in our reviews whether a pair of secateurs is suitable for those with a weak grip and for left-handed people.
These are designed to prevent strain on your hand or wrist when you have a lot of pruning to do or use secateurs very regularly.
The roll handle might take some getting used to at first, but many gardeners prefer them.
If you have problems with your hands, you need to look for secateurs that are comfortable to hold and cut through stems easily.
A strong spring, blunt blades and uncomfortable handles will tire your hand and make pruning a real chore.
Ratchet secateurs may provide a good solution as they make a cut in a number of stages and don't need so much strength to cut through thicker stems.
Geared or power-lever secateurs can also help, as you will need less effort to make a cut. Cordless powered secateurs are another alternative that help take some of the strain out of your hands.
Choose light secateurs - a lot of models have moulded plastic handles that keep the weight down.
The best way to choose secateurs is to actually get your hands on them; there is no guarantee that a 'small' pair of secateurs is suitable for a small hand.
Check that when the blades are open that the span between the handles isn't too large.
It will be a strain to use them if you're fighting with the spring to keep the handles together when you release them after a cut.
Check you can comfortably reach the safety catch as it's irritating to have to struggle to close the secateurs.
A lot of secateurs have the safety catch on top or centrally located, allowing you to reach it with your left hand.
But you can buy secateurs specifically for left-handed use, including Felco Model No 10 and Darlac's left-handed pruner.
Try out the secateurs before you buy them - even if the safety catch is in a convenient location that doesn't mean they will be comfortable in use.
When we test secateurs we assess how suitable they are for people with weak grips or people who are left-handed. Find your perfect pair by visiting our secateurs reviews.

They are colored wooden strips representing the first 10 natural numbers, their squares and cubes. Their magnitudes are a realistic expression of quantities, without marked units.
- The squares (not included) are represented by square plates, 1cm thick each, same color and side length that their corresponding number.
- The cubes (not included) are represented by cubes with an edge in cm. and color also corresponding with the numbers from 1 to 10.
They are presented in three wooden boxes, respectively.
Approximately: The initial cycle corresponds with the first box (rods); medium cycle, corresponds with first and second boxes (rods and squares), and all three boxes for the higher cycles.
At first glance it might seem suitable for pre-school, but that would be a mistake. Their main purpose is not only to initiate the notion of quantity up to the number 10 but to go further.
To see quantities, so they can be imagined afterwards.
Help boys and girls to become familiar with the natural numbers and to estimate them.
Promote knowledge of numbers and realistic estimation of quantities.
Work the decimal number base, enhancing its comprehension.
Experiment and discover relationships between numbers, their squares and cubes.

Warning!: Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard due to small parts.


I just returned from my trip to San Antonio Texas where I attended the yearly convention of the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). This was my first time attending the conference. I was totally amazed, awed struck and highly trained in cross cultural understanding. On my way back to Dallas I concluded that the article I was preparing on cross cultural training just became clear because of this trip and it should be put into writing.
Cross cultural training is without question the basics we as professionals need, to become global leaders. This training plus the ability to speak another language are the pre-requisites for understanding, learning, selling, doing business, getting better paying global jobs, and succeeding as professionals in our much globalized world.
Cross cultural training give us the understanding, appreciation, knowledge and a wide angle view of how our world works. It gives us an upper leg, a competitive advantage and an open mind to all things global and of this world.
As human inhabitants of this world we all like to have the basic necessities of life such as shelter, food, a fulfilling career, business or job and the time to enjoy it.
When we learn to appreciate other cultures, other languages, we learn that that culture's basic needs are the same but with a different flavor.
Instead of brick houses, they prefer adobe or bamboo houses.
Instead of hamburgers and French fries, that culture prefers to eat sautéed vegetables with chocolate. Instead of listening to rock and roll music, that culture prefers to listen to folk music with a tint of melancholic rhythm.
Instead of having formal business meetings at the company conference room, they prefer to invite you to their house and share dinner and a glass of wine with their wife, children and family.
Instead of communicating via email and phone, they prefer to talk to you in person.
When we understand these small but so important differences, we are on our way to being cross cultural sensitive.
When we appreciate these differences we can create relationships that are truly global.
As a global professional you just need to train yourself and recognize which of the above are the preferences of your global customer, student, partner or friend.
Why is San Antonio a lesson?
San Antonio is already a blending of cultures, a city where White Americans, African Americans, Mexicans, Hispanics, military personnel, tourists and visitors share the streets and the city. You need only go to the river walk or attend a convention such as the one I attended.
You also need to keep your eyes, ears and mind open and see that there are many languages, many nationalities and many preferences represented in this amalgamated city.
Where else would I be able to speak English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese and even practice my limited Mandarin but here in San Antonio Texas.
A second lesson was clear when I visited a Vietnamese restaurant where I ordered Chinese rice, with an American made Coca Cola. The restaurant was visited by Mexican workers, American businesspeople, Middle Eastern families, African American tourists. We were all served buy a young lady from the Ukraine.
At the convention there were 6000 teachers together with exhibitors showing educational materials from almost all regions of the world, including Israel, the Middle East, The Far East, Europe, United States, Canada, Africa, North, Central and South America and even the Romans.
So if your interest was to learn Latin or Italian culture and language you could find an exhibitor that had all this plus a program to take you to Italy for a cultural immersion trip of 3 weeks.
I can definitely recommend that for your next on the job cross cultural training you visit San Antonio Texas and take a lesson or two.
Our mission is to teach you a second or third language so you can communicate, understand and appreciate peoples and cultures of the world. We want for your career to advance and for you to have friends and business partners in many parts of the globe.

Q: Adding a full width banner and making it bootstrap responsive I'm trying to modify a bootstrap template to add a full length 1200 px banner at the top, instead of the smaller 120 x 60 images/logo-company.png logo that is there on the original site.
I have tried to no avail, but I would like to be able to seat this larger banner perfectly for desktop view, while having it be responsive on mobile devices.
I assume the original logo was so small that it didn't needto have code call outs to make it responsive.
Would anyone be kind enough to take a look and see if they can supply the necessary HTML and or CSS code to achieve this for me please.

"To support wider consumer adoption of electric cars, society needs to make charging an electric car as simple as filling up your tank," said Zaki Fasihuddin, CEO of the Volvo Cars Tech Fund. "Our investment in FreeWire is a firm endorsement of the company's ambitions in this area."
At the start of 2018, BP Ventures announced an investment in conjunction with the launch of a pilot program to deploy FreeWire's infrastructure-light EV fast chargers at BP retail sites in the UK.
"FreeWire was one of BP's first investments in the advanced mobility space and we remain excited by their expertise and technologies," said David Gilmour, Vice President of BP Ventures. "Mobility continues to evolve, and BP is committed to remaining the fuel retailer of choice. We see FreeWire playing an important role in our varied offering and helping ensure we are well positioned to meet future demand."
The closing of the Series A round follows the previous announcement of Stanley Ventures as an investor and the appointment of both Michael Mahan, Investment Manager at Stanley Ventures, and Chad Bown, Investment Principal at BP Ventures, to FreeWire's Board of Directors.
The World Economic Forum defines electrification and decentralization as key drivers of grid edge transformation. These converging forces, together with intensifying commitments to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy resources, are creating greater demand for flexible and sustainable power when and where it's needed. As industries traditionally dependent on fossil fuels become increasingly electrified, FreeWire will continue to create scalable power solutions while mitigating expensive installation costs and site constraints.

Q: Installing the Subversion Plugin in studio Version: 7.4.2 fails Installing the Subversion Plugin in studio Version: 7.4.2 fails.
Tried with http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x and other versions too.

A: The site http://subclipse.tigris.org appears to be abandoned, and subclipse 1.6 is an old version that is probably not compatible with the Eclipse version used for Studio 7.4.2. According to the release notes it is based on Eclipse 4.9. You should look for an updated version of subclipse that is compatible with that Eclipse version.
It seems that the current home of Subclipse is this GitHub project: https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse. Try installing from their distributions: https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse/wiki#installation


Every journalist would like to start a report with the words: "All quiet on the western front." Or the eastern front. And I had actually scribbled "all quiet on the northern front" in my notebook, on my rural way to the far northern village of Kansabba on Syria's front line opposite Idlib province, when an artillery piece in the forest banged off a shell over our heads. It took 25 seconds for the sound of the explosion — on the hills to the north-east — to echo softly back to us through the trees. Then a second round. And a third. A few Syrian soldiers on motorcycles purred along the road.
Front lines are like this. Sunlight, lots of clouds, a winding country lane way, an explosion and then a herd of sheep drift out of a field at the bidding of a cowled shepherd.
So goodbye to the "all quiet" bit. But here's the problem. Syria makes no secret that it has amassed 100,000 troops around Idlib province for the "last battle" against its Islamist enemies; give or take any who can be persuaded to "reconcile" with the Syrian government via the Russians, go "home" — Tajikistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, you name it — or surrender. And as we all know, a lot of the jihadis in the Idlib "terrorist" dustbin — the Russians and Syrians use "terrorism" now with all the alacrity that George W Bush deployed after he invaded Iraq — preferred to battle on in Idlib after leaving the big cities of Syria.
Thus Trumpian-UN-Merkel-Erdogan warnings of humanitarian catastrophe, mass murder, chemical attack and Armageddon had me prowling along Syrian front line roads for all of two days; yet the huge Syrian invading force remained oddly elusive. I travelled from the Turkish frontier at Kassab, through Rabia and Kansabba and behind Jourine and then up the Syrian military supply route from Hama to Abu Adh Duhour and through villages unheard of outside Syria — Omalhouteh, Tel Maseh, Ewanat Skieh, Bardah, Kafr Abeed, Blass, Alhadein — and the massed Syrian army was nowhere to be seen.
Was this really the start of the last battle, I kept asking myself? Amid a sylvan grove east of Kassab, I suddenly came across 200 Syrian troops, steel helmets, arms at attention, on parade — their commander sent a motorcycled soldier after us to ask why we were taking photographs — for this was, to be sure, a good Boys' Own Paper picture for The Independent. Readers, please note my colleague's snatched snapshot with this dispatch. But there were no armoured vehicles, no Iranians, no Hezbollah, no Russians, no convoys of field artillery — though I had seen the photos of the Syrian convoys a couple of weeks ago — and the only massed forces I came across were vast herds of sheep and, close to Aleppo, a string of camels. Not a single soldier was carrying a gas mask. Which would surely be a sure sign of an imminent chemical attack anywhere on the front, whoever was dropping the stuff.
Now this doesn't mean the invading army wasn't there. Perhaps far behind the front lines or far above Aleppo, waiting in faraway fields for zero hour, they may be biding their time. The Syrians have loudly announced their intention of crushing the last Islamist bastion in Idlib — and I can confirm that Syrian jets took off from the Hama air base on Saturday morning at around 8.30 because I could hear their roar a mile away over breakfast — but I saw no smoke clouds drifting down from Jisr al-Chougour or east of Idlib a couple of hours later as I watched from that all-too-smashed security-supply route up to Aleppo. A lone, low-flying Russian-made Syrian helicopter came thudding over the desert near Abu Adh Dahour, whose own air base was recaptured by Syrian troops last year. Just one.
So here's what I did find on my 300-mile tour around the frontier of Idlib. At the old Kassab border crossing, the Turks are still building a massive concrete wall along the Syrian frontier, topped with barbed wire and arc lights below a cloud-shrouded mountain on which stood, just visible, a range of reconnaissance aerials. From there, a Syrian captain told me, Nato watched Syria and could probably listen to Syrian communications — although the Syrians could apparently not listen to Nato. I climbed the staircase of a broken house, its former Nusrah Islamist forces' graffiti painted out on the internal walls — and stared across the Turkish border.
There was even a bust of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk on the Turkish side of the frontier station.
Then a sense of déjà vu. A group of Syrian security agents walked sullenly towards us to ask the Syrian army what we were doing. There was an altercation — an instructive moment — between the two Syrian forces before we moved away. Interesting. But exactly two years ago, the same Syrian army had been confronted by the same security men at the same spot asking the same question about my presence. Not a bad repeat performance. And when I drove further east, those guns began firing across the forest, yet — again, exactly two years ago, at this very spot — the Syrian artillery — quite probably the very same guns — had lobbed off shells over our heads at the same distant Nusrah-held hillsides. Plus ça change, I suppose.
And then, near Kansafet, I climbed the crumbling steps of a shell-scarred villa where the Syrian front line troops manned sand bags above a smashed mosque and a smashed church and a bullet whacked past us from the Nusrah snipers above. When I suggested to an obliging Syrian officer that I thought there might be no great offensive — just a slow gnawing away at the boundaries of Idlib's mini-caliphate while "reconciliation" talks dragged on between the Syrians and the Russians and the Turks and the armed groups and, hopefully, the tens of thousands of civilians trapped there — the soldier nodded and told me I was "50 per cent correct".
It was an eerie journey. A vast empty motorway — its blue Aleppo, Lattakia and Damascus road signs proving it to be the old international M4 highway cut off by the Idlib fighters; a towering railway viaduct captured by the Syrian army; and a massive but still incomplete concrete river dam whose equipment, so the Syrians say, was stripped by Nusrah and sold to the Turks. And thousands and thousands — and thousands more — abandoned, crushed houses and cattle sheds and huts destroyed over the past three years of fighting. Nusrah had tried to bring down a motorway bridge, but their charges — exploded long ago — appeared to have blasted downwards rather than upwards, and the structure still stood.
Not, I suspect, for an offensive against Idlib, rather to fight off opposition fighters if they were under air bombardment and tried to escape west and cross the walled Turkish border. If there is to be a last battle, Syria's armed enemies are not supposed to slip away this time — unless, of course, the Russians and the Iranians and the Turks — basking in the aftermath of the only slightly successful Tehran talks last week — can still work out a peaceful settlement.
So this was no launching pad for an attack against Idlib. "This place is so full of mountains, valleys, hills and rocks, it would need six divisions to fight here and we've only got one," a Syrian officer vouchsafed. In any case, I asked myself, how can you start an attack with massed tanks through a forest? And you can forget historical memories of the Ardennes. These forested hills are far more difficult to cross, let alone plunge down — in the style of Byron's Assyrians — like the wolf on the fold.


We all have goals. We all have desires. We all want to see that change.
At the start of every year, we jot all these things down, saying that "this is the year!" The year comes and goes, and we have one "check" here and there, and we're back to the same habits, same routines, same, same, same… change didn't really occur past January, at best, past February.
During my social media fast, I learned a lot and gained lots of insight and a different perspective on how I've been functioning. I've been doing two different devotionals, with two different friends, we've had prayer nights and nights of revival at our church and the messages have been so on point, like daggers to my heart, my mind and my soul.
Monday night, Pastor Alex Seely spoke an incredible message about Breaking Camp (you can skip to minute 41 at the start of her message), I seriously encourage you all to head to the link to watch it, because, she killed it! She said, we keep expecting change to happen, but we don't do anything different! How can we expect something different to happen, if we're in the same spot, unwilling to move, or too lazy to move?
We have to get down on our knees and intercede for those goals, those desires, for that change.
Wow… intercede. When did I forget about interceding with God? When did I forget that prayer has to go deeper than the surface level?
God can call us all day long to the place we've been wanting to be in, but if we just show up and expect the rest to just happen and land in our laps, it won't. We have to work.
Last night, the message was also amazing, the devotionals I previously mentioned, though different, have all spoken the same message to me.
We are on day 16 of the year and I can tell you that so far, I've been in the word every day this year. I want to be in the word every day for the rest of the year too, but I have to make sure that I am working towards that. I can't allow myself to place instagram, Pinterest, facebook, tv shows, etc before making sure that I did something that day, to work towards accomplishing my goals for the year and working towards that change I want to see happen.
So my friends, I want to ask you: What are you doing different this year, to actually accomplish your goals? If you haven't done one thing different, it's never too late to start! Start today, with just one thing!
Let's do it and really work hard and intercede with God for what He's calling us to and for.
Let's not let another year go by without actually changing our circumstance, situation or mindset!

that dry eye is a very common condition among residents over age 50? The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that nearly 4.9 million Americans over age 50 are suffering from dry eye, with women outnumbering men nearly 2 to 1. There are many reasons why people develop dry eye, including environmental conditions, the use of certain medications, and the long-term use of contact lenses.
The only way of knowing whether you need treatment for dry eye is by visiting your eye doctor for a diagnostic exam. Your eye doctor may recommend treatment if you are found to have abnormal tear production that is contributing to dryness on the surface of your eyes.
There are several ways of treating dry eye. Together with your optometrist, you will decide upon the treatment that best fits your needs. This may include supplementing your natural tears with artificial solutions that can be purchased over-the-counter at most drug stores. You may also be prescribed a medication designed to increase natural tear production. In some cases, eye doctors may recommend conserving natural tears and preventing them from draining by blocking tear ducts or surgically closing them altogether.


The world mourns for the BGSU Falcon football team. There are certain things that do not happen, and one of them is that BGSU does not lose to Kent State.
If BGSU football had one game in which they had to prove something this season, it was this week's game with Kent State.
Unfortunately they proved very little. A 38-3 loss to the Golden Flashes has the Falcons reeling and searching for answers with little time to find them.

On Equal Pay Day, I think it is still ok to reblog this artikel dated 8 March!
In 1908, 15,000 women gathered to march through New York City, demanding shorter hours, better pay, and voting rights. More than 100 years later, women across the world are still fighting for their rights, and inspiring change every day.
At the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change this year, we listened as thousands of those women talked about how they were making changing in their own communities. All of their voices were inspiring, not just individually, but as a collective force.
International Women's Day reminds us to think about the amazing work that women are doing to inspire change. I want to share just a few stories of women that you might not have heard about.
