Een oorlogsmisdadiger is iemand die oorlogsmisdaden heeft gepleegd. Bijvoorbeeld een oorlogsmisdrijf of een ander internationaal misdrijf dat in tijd van oorlog is gepleegd (zoals een misdrijf tegen de menselijkheid, genocide of misdrijf tegen de vrede).

In het dagelijkse spraakgebruik wordt de term oorlogsmisdadiger ook gebruikt om collaborateurs, politieke delinquenten en andere verraders mee aan te duiden. Dit gebruik moet als foutief worden gezien.

Het begrip kan in verschillende contexten dus verwijzen naar:
oorlogsmisdadiger in het internationaal recht, iemand die tijdens een oorlog een delict tegen het humanitair oorlogsrecht, de menselijkheid of het volkenrecht pleegt
oorlogsmisdadiger in het oorlogsrecht, iemand die tijdens een oorlog een delict tegen de wetten en gebruiken van de oorlog pleegt
collaborateur, iemand die in tijd van oorlog met de vijand tegen zijn eigen land samenspant
inciviek, iemand die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in België steun heeft verleend aan de Duitse bezetter
politiek delinquent, iemand die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Nederland steun heeft verleend aan de Duitse bezetter.
landverrader, iemand die in of buiten oorlogstijd opzettelijk de veiligheid van zijn land in gevaar brengt

Rebuilding America: How local retail stores are bouncing back as the state slowly reopens
Jessie Darland | Kitsap Sun
J.C. Penney files for bankruptcy
The coronavirus pandemic may have been the last straw for the struggling J.C. Penney company.
USA TODAY, Wochit
COVID-19 has caused most brick-and-mortar businesses to shut down their traditional manner of business since March, particularly the smaller local retail shops that weren't deemed essential. But rather than cease all business, some shops have found a way to survive amid social distancing, and a few are planning to continue the new way of business even after retail businesses are allowed to operate at full capacity.
Although retail stores are allowed to open their doors to the public for shopping at 30% capacity in Phase 2 of Gov. Inslee's "Safe Start" plan, customers may not flock to stores right away. Some stores are even discouraging customers from visiting because of the health risks, and they are finding alternatives that they plan to keep as customers ease back into shopping routines.
Purpose, a Kitsap-based women's boutique that sells clothes and accessories from its location in The Trails shopping center in Silverdale, has long had a small online shop presence, but now 100% of the focus has moved online. Mandy Keffer, marketing and customer relationship manager, said Purpose hopes to keep the momentum of online sales going, but she admitted employees can't wait to reopen the physical location.
When they do, in-person changes are being planned that may be echoed across the clothing industry. When Purpose re-opens its doors, according to Keffer, clothes that are tried on by customers but not purchased will be removed from the floor for 24 hours. The store will operate at just 30% capacity, though Keffer says people never really have been packed shoulder-to-shoulder in her small boutique. Curbside pick up will also begin.
Unique services that local businesses provide can be hard to replicate without in-person visits. Purpose offers full styling at no cost. Employees are trained on body style, fit and more. Keffer said figuring out how to still offer that to customers has been the most challenging part.
"It is very much of an in-store, one-to-one person face experience," Keffer said. But Purpose is finding ways to start offerings styling services in a way that will fit with what's expected to be a new atmosphere of shopping. Customers will be able to create an online profile, including a quiz about tastes, that a stylist can use to fulfill orders. It will also offer Zoom video calls to talk through selections, just like a stylist would do in a store.
"We tried to make it as close to the in-person experience as possible," Keffer said. The virtual styling sessions were tested on friends and family, then began with customers at the end of March. So far, Purpose stylists have hosted over 200 of these sessions. Even some first-time Purpose customers have participated, Keffer said.
For Blossom Baby in Silverdale, a service that's been hard to recreate for customers is baby-carrier and car-seat fitting.
The co-owners of the store, Andria Head and Lori Fredericks, are baby carrier experts and often help new parents troubleshoot their issues. Head said they're working to try a video platform to help parents, but it's a difficult service to provide remotely.
"I really miss not being able to do that for people," Head said. "I just can't give them the same level of expertise the same way."
Car seat and carrier adjustments will likely be the first things to return to the brick-and-mortar store. Head said they're anxious and excited to see customers again but are in no rush to reopen and put people at risk. The store could have opened as an essential business, but chose not to. The plan to reopen doors as it's allowed is still very tentative, she said.
Blossom Baby also has a website and has lowered its free shipping threshold from $45 to $25. The store has always offered in-store pickup so people can shop at home if they preferred. Head said pick-up is often easier for parents, so adjusting to curbside wasn't a huge adaptation. Most things are easy to purchase without coming into the shop, she said, and they're happy to video chat or send photos to customers.
The addition of masks, hand sanitizer, and immune boosters have helped business, and sales on products to entertain kids at home have risen. March was a good month financially for Blossom Baby, Head said, and even April didn't suffer much loss.
"We'll probably wait until the county has not had any new cases for a while before we even do a staged reopening," Head said. "Businesswise, we're just kind of going to stay at what we're doing now."
That means continuing stocking masks, keeping the shipping threshold low, and offering customer service through video chats and curbside pick-up. After that, the store may allow shopping just a few days per week to allow time for sanitization.
She says an understanding landlord and loyal customers have helped the store, and she feels fortunate that the store can prioritize safety for employees and customers. She also says Baby Blossom is fortunate to already have much of the foundation to shift to this mode of business.
Some retail businesses have turned to social media to advertise in an era when customers aren't able to browse or may be wary of hanging around for an extended time inside.
Josephine's Mercantile in Port Orchard has begun posting photos of products on Facebook. Employees have hosted Facebook Live videos to walk through and show items and essentially pushed all sales online, said Sam Smith, owner of Josephine's.
"Technology has been the key," Smith said. She's owned the business for seven years and wanting to start an online shop, and COVID-19 was the push she needed to make it happen, she said.
Items can be picked up curbside three days a week. The main challenge they store has run into is furniture.
"We can't help them load it," Smith said.
Smith says customers call, asking for certain items.
"I think people are tired of being stuck at home with the same décor," she said.
It's been hard to maintain the store's usual income but sales are enough to keep on the power and maintain the store, Smith said. She's not sure business will be what it once was even after restrictions are lifted. The Port Orchard waterfront is a community hub during the summer months, but with many events already canceled, there won't be the usual number of people strolling around the downtown stores.
But she's still hopeful about the future. Josephine's sold around 100 flower arrangements for Mother's Day. Smith thought they'd sell 15. She appreciates the community's support, and plans to continue using technology to advertise her merchandise.
"I hope people still continue to support those small mom-and-pops," she said.

Kansas basketball notebook
By Gary Bedore
Kansas University radio play-by-play announcer Bob Davis, who worked the KU-Missouri football game on Saturday morning/afternoon in Columbia, Mo., arrived at Orleans Arena two hours before tipoff for the KU-Florida basketball game.
"Ask me after the game," Davis said good-naturedly, asked if he was tired after a 3-hour, 15-minute flight on the university jet with athletic director Lew Perkins, former KU color commentator Max Falkenstien and Larry Hare, assistant AD/equipment operations.
"I wanted to do it," Davis said of working the KU doubleheader. "Lew made it happen."
Davis has worked KU football and basketball games on the same day before, but the games were played in Lawrence. However, he has made several similarly grueling trips during baseball season. Davis also is play-by-play man of the Kansas City Royals.
"We've done football Saturday night and a baseball game the next day - Dallas one night and Tampa Bay the next day," he said.
Perkins said the day started at 7:30 a.m., when the university plane took off from Lawrence for Columbia.
"I thought it was important for football and wanted to come here and see this game," Perkins said, well aware the football game had bowl implications.
Perkins said it was a waiting game to see if KU would reach a bowl game at 6-6.
"We know nothing more now than we did before the game, just wait and see," Perkins said.
¢ Ref's brother works at UConn: One of the three refs for Saturday's KU-Florida game was Duke Edsall, brother of Connecticut football coach Randy Edsall. KU's Perkins hired Edsall when Perkins was AD at UConn. The crew was an Atlantic Coast Conference crew. KU plays in the Big 12 and Florida in the SEC.
¢ Exempt tourney lineup unsettled: Like most powerhouse programs, KU plans to play in an exempt tournament every year, since the courts overturned an NCAA rule that limited teams to playing in two tourneys every four years.
KU vs Florida
KU was to have played in the Preseason NIT next season, but has backed out because of a new tournament format in which teams play two games at neutral sites, not campus sites.
Kansas could reconsider if the NIT returns to the old format where the Jayhawks would play two home games with semis and finals in New York.
Attendance was not strong at the neutral sites this year.
In 2008, KU will compete in the College Basketball Experience in Kansas City, Mo. The format features two home games and two at Kansas City's Sprint Center.
KU has not yet signed a contract to return to the Maui Invitational in 2009.
"We are eligible to go back to Maui (in '09)," KU senior associate AD Larry Keating said. "What tends to happen is, it tends to be many of the same teams every four years. For example, Arizona is going back in '09. We've got some things we're looking at."
KU will play at Georgia Tech, Boston College and Southern California next season.
¢ Tough love: Florida coach Billy Donovan isn't afraid to bench some of the star-studded players who led the Gators to a national title last season.
Tuesday, junior power forward Joakim Noah was banished off the court for the last 12 minutes of the first half of the Gators' 94-33 Las Vegas Invitational victory over Prairie View.
"I thought I was playing hard, but I wasn't," said Noah, the son of former tennis great Yannick Noah. "I was ready to go back in the game, but he (Donovan) said no. I said I was ready, but he said, 'You should have been ready from the opening tip.' He was right.
"I love coach Donovan. He's such a genuine person, and he keeps it real for me."
Noah responded to his extended time on the bench by finishing with 19 points against Prairie View.
Noah told the Las Vegas Review Journal that winning a national title was all it is cracked up to be.
"It has been an amazing experience," he said. "To have impacted so many people's lives, to have brought so much joy to our campus and community, it has been wonderful."
¢ Gator aura: Florida coach Donovan says people who deem his team invincible forget last year's performance in the SEC regular season. The Gators went 10-6.
"We have created an aura that we are an unbelievable team," he said. "Our guys are grounded in who they are. They realize a year ago we weren't ranked, went 10-6 in the league. We won six games (in NCAAs), but they realize where we came from and how we still have a lot of work to do."

County and Municipal flags of Missouri
From Columbia Daily Tribune
Voters select blue and green Columbia flag design
By Caitlin Campbell, 29 April 2016
Residents who voted during a three-month period last fall recommended the city adopt a blue and green flag emblazoned with the Columbia logo for the next official flag. The Columbia City Council is scheduled to review the design at its Monday meeting.
Local artists submitted 84 entries last year during a design competition. After reviewing the submissions, the Commission on Cultural Affairs and the city council whittled the entries down to three finalists for a public vote, which took place between October and January at City Hall. Voters preferred artist Jon Sheltmire's design, according to a city report.
The flag is blue and green, with the city logo in the middle. A white cross separates the blue and green elements. The cross pattern represents how Columbia is at a crossroads in the center of the state, Sheltmire has said. The logo represents a diverse but close-knit community.
The blue color in the pattern represents the city's distinctive rivers, creeks and lakes; the green represents the city's rich parks, woodlands, trails and nature areas, Sheltmire has said.

The municipal flag of Columbia, Missouri is white with a square blue design resembling a view of four seated figures with outstretched arms as seen from above. In addition to being the seat of Columbia College of Missouri, the city of Columbia is also the home and main campus of the very much larger University of Missouri.
Ron Lahav, 8 May 2008
The City of Columbia has no official flag, but the City flies unofficial flag based on its logo. Here is what I received from the City:
"The City of Columbia, Missouri does not have an official flag. We do have a symbol or logo that we use on various printed materials. The logo has been used as a flag, but it is not something that has an "adoption date, official description and designer, etc." I am including information about the logo itself which is based on original artwork.
About the artwork:
City employees and citizens exist in an interwoven relationship. As a representation of this cooperative working bond, the distinctive City of Columbia logo depicts people joined together in an unending circle of community service. A solid version of the logo appears on city-owned vehicles, uniforms and correspondence as a reminder of this cooperative goal.
At this time, I do not have the name of the original artist and any official "adoption" date. We have used it so long, it will take search of our archives to find that information.

City of Columbia"
Valentin Poposki, 25 March 2009
The City of Columbia's flag was created in 1988 for a flag exchange with a sister city, Matto, Japan. The flag was made by Alberta Smith, wife of former Columbia mayor Rodney Smith, in 1988.
Source: www.columbiamissourian.com/a/182294/columbia-flag-design-contest-recalls-creation-of-first-city-flag/
Dave Martucci, 5 December 2014
Voting is now under way on designs for a new Columbia flag. The city's Office of Cultural Affairs held a contest to solicit designs for a new flag and received 84 entries that met the requirements. Many came from schoolchildren; others from artists and professional designers. "It's time to have a new design that is representative of the city and the community," Sarah Dresser, program specialist for the Office of Cultural Affairs, said. One of the suggestions by the Office of Cultural Affairs for those who wanted to enter the contest was that it include reference to the original logo in the previous flag.
The deadline for entering the contest was Nov. 14.

Could This Medical Marijuana Play Soar Tomorrow? Jun 03, 2013 20:43
Promoter: HotStockProfits.com Paying Party: UNKNOWN
TRTC $3000	 90155
Max Profit: 35.46 % Gain at close: 24.88 %
I hope you took a moment to read my email from earlier on TRTC and why it could potentially explode going into tomorrows trading session.
Right after I sent out my email on TRTC some huge news hit the wires that I wanted you to take a look at. I have included a link and a short expert below.
Irvine, June 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Tech Corp (OTCBB: TRTC), a leader in sustainable agricultural products, is pleased to announce it has signed a distribution deal with Florida based Palm Creek Produce, a hydroponic greenhouse grower of specialty plants. Palm Creeks 1.25 acre facility is capable of producing up to 10,000 units of produce per week. The company anticipates this contract to be worth close to $800,000 per year in top line revenue.
>>Read The Full Release Here<<
If you missed TRTC I have included my profile from before. This medical marijuana play is one that you might regret if you miss it.
New Trade Alert: *** Terra Tech Corp (OTCBB: TRTC) ***
I believe this play is extremely undervalued and has strong gain potential for investors serious about capitalizing.
And capitalizing is what we do in this newsletter, right?
TRTC has been building a bit of momentum in the medical marijuana space and looks set to join an elite group of companies hoping to tap into this multi-billion industry.
Investors are showing growing bullishness towards TRTC which is now making a rally from its first support level of 0.00887.
Present market valuation is trending towards a price push that will take TRTC past its first resistance point where investors stand to make gains of up to 13.14%.
TRTC recently announced a $5 million Equity Enhancement Program with Magna Group out of New York, NY. The fresh injection of capital will help bolster TRTC's expansion plans and generate revenues in the rapidly expanding markets for controlled agricultural technologies.
The first revenue-generating addition which underpins the growth and expansion plans of TRTC came in the form of anexclusive distribution deal secured recently through its subsidiary, Edible Gardens, with New Jersey based NB Plants.
TRTC stands to make upwards of $2 million annually from the deal which will see Edible Gardens having exclusive rights to purchase the entire crop produced by NB Plants throughout the year.
This new addition to TRTC's existing revenue pool will no doubt raise the profile of the company as it makes its aggressive push to dominate the industry for sustainable agricultural products and the very lucrative medical marijuana market.
TRTC has been growing its revenues in recent months and recently announced a whopping 300% increase in Q2 2013 sales compared to 2012.
Here's a little snippet from the release:
"Management is pleased to announce its anticipated strong revenue growth for the company's second quarter 2013," stated Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech. "We expect Q2 2013 to be a record quarter for Terra Tech primarily due to the successful integration of Edible Garden."
(See release of May 15, 2013)
TRTC should move all the way to the top of your list - anyplace else on you may miss out on its gain potential.
Stay tuned for further updates on TRTC and begin your due diligence HERE.
Don't forget to look here for the news that TRTC announced recently HERE.

The 10 Best Videos For New Composers For TV/Film
February 19, 2016 by James Warburton
Well, it's been a while since I wrote on here. It's been a very busy period and I'll do a proper update at some point! But for now, this will have to do. I do a lot of talks at various workshops around the country for new composers and I always get asked a lot about equipment, DAWS and various aspects of how to produce/mix for TV/Film. So I thought it might be helpful to put together a list of free videos interviews/tutorials with some very established composers from various on-line sources, that I've found hugely useful in terms of learning new techniques and tips. I hope you find them helpful and informative, it's very generous of people to be so open and free with advice about how they've got to where they are!
(In no particular order)
Anyone who saw/heard the amazing soundtrack to the recent Mad Max film will be very keen to see how the excellent Dutch composer Junkie XL created it. He's created a series of really in-depth videos explaining his techniques, here's the first of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB1twfL5b28
Probably the most famous/in-demand Hollywood composer of the last decade, Hanz Zimmer reveals all in this excellent 5-part series of interviews. Intros are in German but the interviews themself are in English: http://www.musikmachen.de/Stories/Hans-Zimmer-im-Interview
Interesting round-table conversation between a number of very established Hollwood composers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdXqE-I7KwE
Composer for the hugely successful BBC Sherlock Series, Michael Price answers questions from new composers in this 5-part series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzOdAXbiwH0
Jake Jackson discusses techniques he used when mixing the music for BBC series "Silent Witness", some really useful, practical advice in this for anyone hoping to write for TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqqUXsuq1ew
Two of my favourite composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, answer questions about their work for "Gone Girl" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1OT3bBoRoQ
"Steve Jobs" composer Daniel Pemberton talks us through various projects from his custom studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK_5sdUbkiY
Very in-depth chat with Lorne Balfe who has scored countless projects for TV and Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUaC30KhnYY
Dave Porter scored hit US series "Breaking Bad" and the follow up "Better Call Saul", here he discusses his journey into the world of writing for TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK9trWhtKHc
Brian Tyler discusses writing the percussion-heavy soundtrack for "The Fast and Furious 5" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLYlXt_Nvo

Spot and Stain Removal: We are able to remove a wide variety of spots and stains with the process we use. However, for stains that aren't removed through our regular process, we apply additional stain removal techniques to these areas.
Pet Odor and Stains: We can remove a variety of odors and stains associated with pets and the like. Dynamic Carpet Cleaning and Restoration offers treatments that can vary depending on the severity and the desires of the customer.
Estimating: Our carpet cleaning service is estimated by the size of the carpeted area to be cleaned or commonly known as square footage. We will measure the areas you would like cleaned then provide an accurate free estimate (without obligation) based on that area.
As for upholstery, an estimate will be based on the size of the item, number of cushions/pillows and type of fabric rather than square footage. We offer a FREE professional spotter bottle with our very effective soap-free product.
Fabric Protection: We recommend a carpet and fabric protector for your carpets and furniture. Protection — when it is properly applied after the items have been freshly cleaned — will reduce overall soiling and help prevent staining. It will also aid with maintenance vacuuming and help with future cleanings.
Before and After Results: Below is just one example of what you can expect. In this particular photo the carpet had average overall soiling. Although it had not been cleaned in a while, the carpet didn't appear to be very soiled. However, the amount of soiling became apparent after we started cleaning the carpet.

Rafsanjani's Long-term Strategy: Empowering Himself Through Helping the Greens
by Sam Razi | Mar 12, 2010 | Featured, General
(The Newest Deal) | March 12, 2010
Masoud Shafaee
As the Persian Nowruz New Year fast approaches and Iran's post-election crisis enters its ninth month, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani remains as mercurial a figure as ever in Iranian politics. True to his nickname of Kooseh, or "The Shark," Rafsanjani has been paying lip-service to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei while simultaneously signaling (if only tacitly) solidarity with Iran's Green opposition movement. With his reputation as an incredibly calculating figure, it is hard to believe that this contradiction is coincidental. In fact, Rafsanjani's high level of influence in the system may be paradoxically inhibiting him from more closely aligning with the Green Movement.
In many ways, Rafsanjani's position resembles that of the boy who stuck his finger in the leaking dike in Hans Brinker's classic tale. In the story, the boy's plugging of the hole with his finger was not an attempt to solve the problem at hand, but rather, to prevent an immediate and far more dangerous outcome from occurring. Had the boy gone to fetch help to repair the dike, the levee would have broken and the city would have been flooded. By staying at the dike all night — not fixing the problem, but preventing it from worsening — the boy bought time until others discovered him the next morning and were able to make necessary, lasting repairs.
Rafsanjani may find himself in similar circumstances and equally incapable of making a significant move. Ahmadinejad and the Revolutionary Guard have shown no intention of curbing their quest to completely control the Islamic Republic. What started out hand-in-hand with the Supreme Leader (with his undoubted blessing of plans to rig the June election) has grown into something far greater. Only one month after the election, Ahmadinejad publicly disobeyed Khamenei by failing to immediately withdraw Esfandiar Mashaei as his top deputy after the Supreme Leader voiced his disapproval. A month later, he showed up unannounced in the Majlis parliament flanked by his armed bodyguards. Constitutional rights have been discarded in countless instances. Needless to say, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that "Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship" appears troublingly accurate.

Effort and Performance: What Distinguishes Interacting and Noninteracting Groups from Individuals?
Tibor Besedeš, Georgia Institute of Technology - Main Campus
Sarah Quintanar, University of Arkansas - Little Rock
Sudipta Sarangi, Louisiana State University
We study how group membership affects behavior both when group members can and cannot interact with each other. Our goal is to isolate the contrasting forces that spring from group membership: a free-riding incentive leading to reduced effort and a sense of social responsibility that increases effort. In an environment with varying task difficulty and individual decision making as the benchmark, we show that the free-riding effect is stronger. Group members significantly reduce their effort in situations where they share the outcome but are unable to communicate. When group members share outcomes and can interact, they outperform groups without conmmnication and individuals. We show that these groups do as well as the best constituent member would have done on his or her own.

Q: Is `this` allowed inside a noexcept specification? I have some code which requires me to use *this, but I want it to be noexcept friendly:
struct foo;

// Would actually be something with conditional noexcept
void do_something(foo&);

struct foo {
    void fn()
        noexcept(noexcept(::do_something(*this)))
    {
        ::do_something(*this);
    }
};

However, gcc rejects this:
<source>:7:43: error: invalid use of 'this' at top level
         noexcept(noexcept(::do_something(*this)))

If I just access a member, gcc is fine:
void do_something(int);

struct bar {
    int x;

    void fn()
        noexcept(noexcept(::do_something(x)))
    {
        ::do_something(x);
    }
};

However, if I access the member through the this pointer, gcc complains again:
struct baz {
    int x;

    void fn()
        noexcept(noexcept(::do_something(this->x)))
    {
        ::do_something(this->x);
    }
};

Diagnostic:
<source>:7:42: error: invalid use of 'this' at top level
         noexcept(noexcept(::do_something(this->x)))

Every other compiler I tried accepts using this inside the noexcept specification, but I don't actually know if it's gcc that has the bug or all the other compilers.
Can the keyword this be used inside a noexcept specification?

A: Yes, it is allowed. [expr.prim.this]p2 says:

If a declaration declares a member function or member function template of a class X, the expression this is a prvalue of type "pointer to cv-qualifier-seq X" between the optional cv-qualifier-seq and the end of the function-definition, [...].

The cv-qualifier-seq refers to the cv qualifiers of the member function, which appear before the noexcept specifier:

parameters-and-qualifiers:
    ( parameter-declaration-clause ) cv-qualifier-seq[opt] ref-qualifier[opt]
      noexcept-specifier[opt] attribute-specifier-seq[opt]

So, this is a valid expression to use in the noexcept-specifier. This was a DR (cwg1207), which gcc doesn't implement. The bug report.

Free Lunch + Play program expects to distribute more than 110,000 free lunches to Portland youth
57% of young Portlanders qualify for free or reduced-price lunch during the school year. Without school lunches, summer becomes the time when nearly 50,000 Portland children face hunger daily. Portland Parks & Recreation's Free Lunch + Play program supports families by offering nutritious meals and recreational activities during the summer recess.
Working alongside Comcast, the Presenting Sponsor of Summer Free For All, plus our other valued sponsors, community partners, Portland Public Schools, and David Douglas and Centennial School Districts, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) coordinates the Free Lunch + Play program to ensure that it meets the changing needs in our community.
What: PP&R's Summer Field Day Celebration-free and open to the public
When: Monday, July 10, 2017, 11am-12pm
Where: Mt. Scott Park, 5530 SE 72nd Avenue
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz for the Summer Free For All Field Day Celebration Kickoff on Monday, July 10, 2017 11am-1pm, at Mt. Scott Park (SE 72nd Avenue and Harold Street). Special guests, including Summer Free For All Presenting Sponsor Comcast, will bring amazing activities and giveaways. Highlights include Free Lunch + Play sponsor Daimler Trucks North America's Optimus Prime Transformers semi-truck, and trivia games and giveaways hosted by Comcast volunteers, free lunch and games, and more.
"Comcast is very pleased to be back for our second year as the presenting sponsor of the Summer Free for All program", said Marc Farrar, Vice President of External Affairs for Comcast Oregon/SW Washington. "It's so great to share these free evening concerts and movies with our family, friends and neighbors, making memories across Portland."
Bank of America, Portland Public Schools, David Douglas School District, Centennial School District, and the Portland Parks Foundation are also vital partners in the Free Lunch + Play programs, part of Portland Parks & Recreation's wildly popular Summer Free For All.
Media interviews will be available during the event, along with visuals of some of our expected 110,000 free lunches being served, Daimler Truck's Optimus Prime Transformers semi-truck, trivia games and giveaways hosted by Comcast volunteers, live music, a kids' open mic and talent show, and giant check presentations from sponsors. Portland Parks & Recreation summer campers, partners, and neighbors will be on hand to enjoy lunch, games and family fun.
"Our ongoing commitment to the Summer Free For All program is important to us since it's addressing the basic needs of local kids and families," said Monique Barton, Bank of America's Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility. "Coming together as a community to fight hunger and effectively address summer food insecurity among school-age children is a very worthy cause, and one we are proud to be a part of."
Free Lunch + Play programs are offered from June 20 to August 25, 2017 Monday through Friday unless otherwise noted.
Free lunch is offered at all Free Lunch + Play sites, plus sports, games, and arts and crafts.

Southwest locations

"More than half of Portland's school children qualify for free or reduced priced lunches," notes Portland Parks Commissioner Fritz. "And the Summer Free For All makes a real impact on families. Thanks to our partners, PP&R will serve more than 110,000 lunches at various sites this summer. Our sponsors' commitment to the Summer Free For All shows their passion for making our community better and helps deliver dozens of free outdoor movies, concerts, and playground lunch programs to Portlanders."
PP&R and its partners are constantly innovating. Our Mobile Playgrounds program brings free lunch and recreation to children at apartment complexes in neighborhoods where parks and playgrounds don't exist. And in 2017, for the first time, Mobile Playgrounds programs offer free lunches, in addition to games and fun.
To better serve Portland's diverse community, PP&R again offers the Summer Free For All schedule in nine different languages: Arabic, Burmese, English, simplified Chinese, Nepalese, Russian, Spanish, Somalian and Vietnamese.
"Our mission is 'Healthy Parks, Healthy Portland'," says Portland Parks & Recreation Director Mike Abbaté. "The Summer Free For All is a wonderful way many people first engage with Portland Parks & Recreation programs. Partners like Comcast, Bank of America, the Portland Parks Foundation and local school districts help make these connections possible by continuing to invest in Summer Free For All. This support leads to a lifetime of healthier, happier people of all ages, as well as a united community."
Summer Free For All programming consists of a broad portfolio of culturally diverse music, movies, and recreation programs. Through the Free Lunch + Play program, PP&R expects to serve more than 110,000 free, healthy lunches to children in parks across the city. 57% of young Portlanders qualify for free or reduced-price lunch during the school year. Portland Parks & Recreation supports families by offering nutritious meals and recreational activities during the summer recess. The Free Lunch + Play program is accompanied by sports, games, crafts and family activities.

Blockchain can be an irrefutably resourceful invention which is practically causing a revolution in the global business market. Its evolution has brought with it a greater good, not merely for businesses but also for its beneficiaries aswell. But since it's revelation to the world, a vision of its operational activities continues to be unclear. The primary question stick in everyone's mind is – What's Blockchain?
To start with, Blockchain technology serves as a platform that allows the transit of digital information without the risk of being copied. It has, in ways, laid the foundation of a strong backbone of a new sort of internet space. Originally designed to deal with Bitcoin – attempting to explain the layman concerning the functions of its algorithms, the hash functions, and digital signature property, today, the technology buffs have found other potential uses of the immaculate invention which could pave the best way to the onset of an entirely new business dealing process on the globe.
Blockchain, to define in all respects, is a kind of algorithm and data distribution structure for the management of electronic cash without the intervention of any centralized administration, programmed to record all the financial transactions as well as everything that holds value.
The Working of Blockchain
Blockchain can be comprehended as Distributed Ledger technology which was originally devised to aid the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. But Bitcoin Revolution and rejection, the technology was revised for used in things more productive.
To give an obvious picture, imagine a spreadsheet that's practically augmented tons to times across a plethora of computing systems. And then imagine that these networks are designed to update this spreadsheet every once in awhile. This is exactly what blockchain is.
Information that's stored on a blockchain is really a shared sheet whose data is reconciled every once in awhile. It's a practical way that speaks of many obvious benefits. To being with, the blockchain data doesn't exist in one single place. Because of this everything stored in there is open for public view and verification. Further, there's no centralized information storing platform which hackers can corrupt. It's practically accessed over a million computing systems side-by-side, and its data could be consulted by any individual having an internet connection.
Durability and Authenticity of Blockchain
Blockchain technology is something that minims the web space. It's chic robust in nature. Much like offering data to the general public through the World Wide Web, blocks of authentic information are stored on blockchain platform that is identically visible on all networks.
Vital to note, blockchain can't be controlled by way of a single people, entity or identity, and contains nobody point of failure. Just like the internet has proven itself as a durable space since last 30 years, blockchain too will serve as an authentic, reliable global stage for business transaction as it continues to develop.
Transparency and Incorruptible Nature
Veterans of the industry declare that blockchain lives in circumstances of consciousness. It practically checks on itself once in a while. It's much like a self-auditing technology where its network reconciles every transaction, referred to as a block, which happens aboard at regular intervals.
This gives birth to two major properties of blockchain – it's highly transparent, and at the same time, it cannot be corrupted. Every transaction that takes place on this server is embedded within the network, hence, making the complete thing very much visible continuously to the public. Furthermore, to edit or omit home elevators blockchain requests a humongous level of efforts and a strong computing power. Amid this, frauds could be easily identified. Hence, it's termed incorruptible.
Users of Blockchain
There isn't any defined rule or regulation about who shall or can make usage of this immaculate technology. Though at present, its potential users are banks, commercial giants and global economies only, the technology is open for the day to day transactions of the general public as well. The only real drawback blockchain is facing is global acceptance.

Heat sealing specialist Proseal has designed and installed a bespoke packing system for blueberry punnets for leading supplier Berry Gardens that has increased speeds and accuracy, reduced product waste and provided a more ergonomic and user-friendly working environment for operators.
The new smart drive technology punnet delivery system works in conjunction with a Proseal GT3 tray sealer to deliver a throughput of 210 packs per minute.
Blueberries are difficult to handle due to their small round shape which means they can easily jump out of packs during the packing process, particularly if there is frequent stopping and starting during conveying and sealing. The Proseal-designed twin lane conveyor uses a continuous motion chain and peg system to enable the packs to be seamlessly streamed into the GT3 tray sealer, which increases the accuracy of tray placement prior to sealing.
Trays are grouped into rows of seven for transfer into the GT3, where a reduced distance between the packs and the sealing head helps to ensure that no product is lost during the sealing of the punnets.
The feed conveyor is part of a three tier packing system which has been designed to improve working conditions for the packers. Boxes containing unsealed punnets of blueberries are delivered to the packing stations along the top conveyor. These are removed by the operators to a rack next to the middle twin lane conveyor, where the punnets are placed to be sent for sealing. Empty boxes are then moved onto the bottom conveyor for easy removal.
The system avoids the need for operators to twist and turn during the packing operation, and keeps the area clean and tidy.
The GT3 offers a rugged construction manufactured to food industry approved hygiene standards with full wash-down protection. Tool handling is simple, safe and fast thanks to an innovative 'Free-Lift' tool loading system, which delivers rapid transfer of pre-heated tool sets to Proseal's proven Auto Tool Connection. This enables tool changes to be carried out in around three minutes.
An Internet based secure gateway connection system provides real time data and error condition support, allowing Proseal engineers to remotely access the machine for diagnostic support and software modifications. The system can also compile machine condition running data such as packs per minute, temperature settings, seal time and air pressure, all of which can be exported directly into production monitoring screens.


When a group of UNC graduates heard the Carolina Coffee Shop might have to close, they invested in the restaurant in the hopes of preserving a well-established staple on Franklin Street.
This past summer, the Carolina Coffee Shop came under new ownership by a group of UNC graduate investors, including soccer Olympian Heather O'Reilly.
"None of us have restaurant experience, but we are certainly all-hands-on-deck learning as we go in this next new and exciting endeavor in all of our lives," she said.
UNC graduates Jeff Hortman and Clay Schossow said the group had already been friends for a long time before deciding to invest.
"Everyone had some memory of (the Carolina Coffee Shop) too, so it's interesting that that was the connective tissue among all of us," Schossow said.
Changes have already been implemented in the coffee shop. On an aesthetic level, the floors, lights and hanging décor have been altered to reflect a more historic vibe, a feature the three-time gold medalist said is important to new ownership.
"In terms of the name, it's been around for a long time and we don't want to change that," O'Reilly said.
The group decided to invest partly because Carolina Coffee Shop has been an integral part of people's UNC experience. She said businesses on Franklin Street are central to the community.
The group of investors heard about the opportunity to buy the Carolina Coffee Shop, but it took some time before they chose to do so, O'Reilly said. After a couple of months and email exchanges, they were sold on the idea.
"It was definitely a thoughtful approach to ownership and we're so excited we decided to do it," O'Reilly said.
By the time O'Reilly graduated in 2006, she had already played on the U.S. Women's National Team and had won an Olympic gold medal. Along with playing for the UNC women's soccer team, O'Reilly said she remembers spending her weekends as an undergraduate student eating breakfast at the Carolina Coffee Shop.
Alex Pomer, another investor in the group, said he remembers eating lunch and going to the bar. He said the decision to invest has been a surreal experience because his mom is a UNC graduate and they both have fond memories of the restaurant.
O'Reilly said hearing stories of proposals and first dates at the establishment made her realize the sentimental value of Carolina Coffee Shop. She said her and the other owners feel pride that they're preserving the shop after hearing how it continued in significant times of American history.
The group of investors plan on keeping the restaurant around for awhile. The Carolina Coffee Shop will turn 100 years old in 2022, and the new owners said there will be a celebration for that event.
"We have a lot to celebrate in 2022 and we're excited to keep this place alive for the next 100 years," O'Reilly said.
The century mark appears secure for the Carolina Coffee Shop.
Last month, a group of investors bought the Franklin Street institution, which had been on the market since spring, with each carrying their own affections for the tiled floors and wooden booths that countless University of North Carolina students identify with their college years.
Hortman declined to reveal the purchase price.
Hortman graduated in 2006 as a second-generation UNC student. Before him, his parents made their own memories in the coffee shop from their time on campus. He moved back to Chapel Hill a year ago after time in Los Angeles and New York working in the film industry and as a management consultant. Among the other investors are UNC soccer legend Heather O'Reilly and her husband David Werry, a former UNC lacrosse player; and Sarada and Clay Schossow, who co-founded Carrborro-based tech company New Media Campaigns.
A historical marker outside the 95-year-old Carolina Coffee Shop proclaims it to be the oldest restaurant in Chapel Hill still operating in its original location. It's been a soda shop, partial university post office and classic small town restaurant.
The new owners took over June 30, and things have mostly been business as usual. But small and large changes are on the way for the 2,854-foot-space. Before school starts in the fall, Hortman expects to close for a few days to put in new flooring and update the coffee shop's lighting and wall decor. He said they're also negotiating sidewalk space with the town to possibly add some new outdoor seating. The menu will be pared down a bit as well.
The coffee shop will close for one or two weeks over the winter break, Hortman said, as the restaurant looks into opening up its front windows and possibly taking out the drop ceiling, adding a few more feet of height to the dining room.
"We want to brighten it up and make it more inviting," Hortman said.
Hortman said this the new owners' first foray into restaurant ownership, but they've found the coffee shop is important to a lot of different people, many interested in contributing to its survival. They've gleaned wisdom from dozens of restauranteurs and developers from Chapel Hill to New York, Hortman said, and leaned on the coffee shop's existing staff to keep things going.
The Carolina Coffee Shop will turn 100 in 2022, and its next century might be even harder than its last one. Franklin Street sees ribbon cuttings and shutterings on a regular basis as development turns a college town into a small city. Hortman said they're excited to usher an important piece of Chapel Hill's past into its booming future.
