Carnival Meets Goal to Reduce Carbon Footprint Ahead of Schedule
by ShippingHerald	Environment, Headlines, Shipping News, Slider, The Wire
Carnival Corporation, the world's largest leisure travel company, released its eighth annual sustainability report, announcing that in 2017 the company achieved its 25 percent carbon reduction goal three years ahead of schedule and is on track with its nine other 2020 sustainability goals.
The full 2017 report, "Sustainability from Ship to Shore," was developed in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative format and is available online at www.CarnivalSustainability.com.
Looking to the future, the company continues to chart its sustainability journey, using the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a framework to identify new environmental management, energy efficiency, health, safety and wellbeing objectives to strive toward by 2030.
"We recognize that to be a responsible global organization and good corporate citizen, we need to have sustainability ingrained in all aspects of our operation across our nine global cruise line brands and more than 100 ships," said Bill Burke, chief maritime officer for Carnival Corporation, whose nine global cruise line brands include Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn. "We are committed to consistently exceeding the expectations of our guests for great vacations but we are also deeply committed to being a model for sustainable tourism throughout the world. It is through the dedication of our passionate and diverse workforce that we are able to make such great strides in every aspect of our operations. We congratulate each of our 120,000 employees for helping us achieve and exceed our carbon reduction goal well ahead of schedule."
Carnival Corporation first shared its 2020 sustainability goals in 2015, identifying 10 objectives that include reducing its carbon footprint, improving ships' air emissions, reducing waste generation, improving water use efficiency, and supporting guests, crew members and local communities. The company's latest sustainability report shows that it is on track to meet those goals across its nine global cruise line brands, realizing the following environmental advancements by the end of 2017:
Carbon Footprint: achieved 26.3 percent reduction in CO2e relative to 2005 baseline
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS): 62 percent of fleet equipped with EGCS, capable of reducing sulfur compounds and particulate matter in ships' engine exhaust at any operating state of a ship, resulting in improved quality of air emissions
Cold Ironing: 43 percent of fleet equipped with capability to use shoreside electric power while the ship is docked
Advanced Waste Water Purification Systems: increased coverage of fleet-wide capacity by 6.2 percentage points from 2014 baseline. Together, the company's standard and AWWPS systems meet and/or exceed water treatment requirements established by the International Maritime Organization, and national and local authorities.
Waste Reduction: reduced non-recycled waste generated by shipboard operations by 3.7 percent relative to 2016 baseline, and sent 79 percent of the U.S. food and municipal type waste to a facility that captured the energy from the waste
Water Efficiency: improved water use efficiency of shipboard operations by 4 percent relative to 2010 baseline, to a rate of 60 gallons per person per day, versus the U.S. national average of 90 gallons per person per day
LNG: Powering Next-Generation "Green Cruising"
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is the most environmentally-friendly and low-emission fuel currently available. As part of the company's commitment to reducing air emissions and improving air quality in the ports and ecosystems it visits, Carnival Corporation has invested in two major environmental intiatives, EGCS and LNG, that are leading not just the cruise industry but the overall maritime sector and provide a balanced approach to fuel usage and clean-air emissions. In 2017, Carnival Corporation received the Lloyd's List Americas 2017 Cleaner Safer Seas Solutions Award for its commitment to LNG operations and cleaner air.
In 2017 Carnival Corporation welcomed to its fleet the second cruise ship in the world able to be powered by LNG while in port, as dual-fueled AIDAperla began LNG operations when docked in three European ports. AIDAperla is the sister ship to dual-fueled AIDAprima, which launched in 2016.
In December 2018, AIDAnova will launch on its maiden voyage as the first fully LNG-powered cruise ship in the world, capable of running exclusively on LNG both in port and at sea. Six more Carnival Corporation ships generating 100 percent of their power from LNG will be in operation by 2022, sailing for AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and P&O Cruises (UK).
In November 2017 Carnival Corporation expanded its LNG partnership with Shell Western LNG B.V. to North American ports. Shell will supply fuel for the two next-generation LNG-powered cruise ships on order for Carnival Cruise Line, both of which will be homeported in North America when they launch in 2020 and 2022.
"The draw of the ocean's vast beauty is at the center of what makes cruising such an extraordinary vacation choice for the 12.1 million guests who sailed on our 103 ships in 2017," said Elaine Heldewier, sustainability director for Carnival Corporation. "Doing our part to ensure the health and vitality of marine environments long into the future is not only the right thing to do as good corporate citizens, but it's essential to what we do as a business. We are always looking for better ways to improve our technology and processes to further increase efficiencies and decrease our effects on the environment."
In 2017, Carnival Corporation began construction in Miami on the third of its three state-of-the-art Fleet Operations Centers. It also expanded data aggregation and analysis by Neptune, a proprietary platform that enables real-time information transfer and sharing between ships and shoreside teams supporting fleet operations and enhancing the safe passage of ships at sea, while improving operational efficiencies and supporting overall environmental initiatives. New capabilities from these include:
Engine performance: Engine data is monitored in real-time and shared with engine manufacturer Wärtsilä, ensuring engines are maintained at optimal levels, and thus reducing fuel consumption and providing significant emission reduction benefits
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS): Operating parameters from the EGCS are checked every three minutes and monitored by onshore teams to ensure systems are operating correctly
Energy efficiency: A broad range of energy consumption measurements are analyzed to direct and drive forward efficiency improvements and help reach greenhouse gas reduction targets
Ensuring environmental compliance and proper implementation of procedures at sea and in port is the responsibility of full-time Environmental Officers working onboard every ship in the Carnival Corporation fleet. In 2017, a weeklong, fleet-wide global training program was implemented for these dedicated senior crew members. The required annual training course, conducted at Carnival Corporation's CSMART Academy at its Arison Maritime Center in the Netherlands, is designed to further develop environmental and technical expertise for the more than 200 Environmental Officers who support the fleet.
Caring About Communities
Because environments are more than just water, land and air, supporting people and communities through sustainable tourism in the more than 700 ports visited by Carnival Corporation ships in 2017 is also a company priority. Seeking to positively contribute to the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of these communities, the company works with local governments, associations, tourism organizations and other community stakeholders to invest in the ports of call its ships visit and to support healthy, sustainable development.
When Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria took a major human, environmental and property toll in the United States and several Caribbean destinations in 2017, the company immediately stepped up to support the ports and islands impacted by the storms. Carnival Corporation brands and foundations collectively pledged up to $12 million in aid for relief and rebuilding, as employees volunteered their skills, and cruise ships delivered critical supplies to residents in Barbuda, St. Maarten, Dominica and other affected areas.
The relief efforts of Carnival Corporation's cruise lines and staff will continue long-term as islands and communities affected by the hurricanes rebuild. With 1 in 10 residents of the Caribbean directly employed in a tourism-related job, cruise lines have committed to continue to bring ships and guests into ports to help those employed by tourism and related industries.
Carnival Corporation continues to expand its sourcing of cage-free eggs with a goal to be 100 percent cage free by 2025, and has committed to aligning to welfare standards for broiler chicken by 2024.
The company has also partnered with the Association of British Travel Agents to help ensure excursions involving animals are responsibly managed, by leveraging their global welfare guidelines for animals in tourism. A recognized third-party auditor will audit attractions involving animals, including audits on all dolphin in captivity tour encounters used by Carnival Corporation brands.
Partnering for Progress
In 2017, Costa Group (Costa Cruises, Costa Asia and AIDA Cruises) began a partnership with Mercy Ships, an international non-governmental organization that works to promote access to essential healthcare in developing nations.
The organization operates the world's largest civilian hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, with a crew of over 400 volunteers from 40 different nations. In addition to an initial donation of €100,000, the Costa Group committed to continuously staff one engineering position onboard the Africa Mercy, and officers and engineers with Mercy Ships can gain experience and nautical expertise onboard Costa Group ships.
Other philanthropic initiatives and partnerships between Carnival Corporation, its cruise line brands and local and global organizations highlighted in the 2017 sustainability report include:
Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture: $2 million gift over a five-year period
Big Brothers Big Sisters: $5 million gift over a five-year period
Nature Conservancy: $2.5 million gift over a five-year period, and sponsorship of their Mapping Ocean Wealth initiative, which was awarded the World Travel and Tourism Council's 2017 Innovation Award in the Tourism for Tomorrow program

Q: Need assistance determining whether these relations are transitive or antisymmetric (or both?) Problem
I have these two relations over $A$, and I am supposed to determine whether they are reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and/or transitive.  I have determined that they are not reflexive or symmetric, however I'm unsure whether they're both antisymmetric, and I don't understand how to determine whether or not they're transitive.  Will someone please explain?
Let $A = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$
$R_1 = \{(x,y) | \lceil log_2x]\rceil < \lceil log_2y\rceil \}$
$R_2 = \{(x,y) | \lceil log_2x]\rceil = 2 + \lceil log_2y\rceil \}$
Attempt
I see that for BOTH $(x,y) \rightarrow \neg(y,x)$ so my guess is that they're both antisymmetric.  Is that correct?  If so, which one is transitive?  Is it possible for a relation to be both symmetric and transitive?
Ordered pairs which satisfy each relation
$R_1: (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (3,5) (3,6) (4,5) (4,6)$
$R_2: (3,1) (4,1) (5,2) (6,2)$

A: Yes. it is correct  as you can see the pair $(a,a) \notin R_1$  while $a\in A $ .
As well both of your relation are transitive.
if $(x,y) \in R_1$ and $(y,z) \in R_1$
$$ log_2x <log_2y<log_2z  => (x,z) \in R_1  $$
so it is transitive.
And about a relation that can be both . For example take equality relation it is clearly  symmetric  and also transitive.
I hope this will answer your question.

A: You are correct in thinking that both relations are antisymmetric.
A relation $R$ on a set $A$ is transitive if the following holds: whenever $x,y,z\in A$ with $\langle x,y\rangle\in R$ and $\langle y,z\rangle\in R$, then $\langle x,z\rangle\in R$ as well. If you think of the members of $A$ as stepping stones, then you can think of $\langle x,y\rangle\in R$ as meaning that it's possible to step from $x$ to $y$. Then transitivity says that if you can step from $x$ to $y$, and you can also step from $y$ to $z$, then you can step directly from $x$ to $z$.
For example, in $R_1$ you can step from $1$ to $4$ and from $4$ to $6$ (because $\langle 1,4\rangle$ and $\langle 4,6\rangle$ are both in $R_1$), and sure enough, you can also step directly from $1$ to $6$ (because $\langle 1,6\rangle\in R_1$). $R_1$ is small enough so that if necessary you can check every possible instance of transitivity to make sure that there are no failures. However, it's easier to work directly from the definition of $R_1$: if $$\lceil\log_2x\rceil<\lceil\log_2y\rceil$$ and $$\lceil\log_2y\rceil<\lceil\log_2z\rceil\;,$$ is it always going to be true that $$\lceil\log_2x\rceil<\lceil\log_2z\rceil\;?$$
It may be easier to check $R_2$ from the list of ordered pairs. Can you find any $x,y,z\in A$ such that $\langle x,y\rangle$ and $\langle y,z\rangle$ are in $R_2$, but $\langle x,z\rangle$ is not? HINT: Can you even find any $x,y,z\in A$ such that $\langle x,y\rangle$ and $\langle y,z\rangle$ are in $R_2$?

Mankato brings art to the sidewalks with walking sculpture tour June 21, 2011
Tags: art, Bemidji Sculpture Walk, bronze sculptures, City Art Walking Sculpture Tour, Dana Parlier, Dee Clements, Joe Forrest Sacke, Kate Christopher, Lee Leuning, life, Mankato, Martin Eichinger, Minnesota, North Mankato, People's Choice Award, public art, Ryszard, sculptors, sculptures, Sherri Treeby, Sioux Falls SculptureWalk, southern Minnesota, street sculptures, tourism, tourist attraction, travel, vandalism to sculptures, Verizon Wireless Center, Vetter Stone
Martin Eichinger of Portland, Oregon, created this graceful "Bird in the Hand" bronze sculpture valued at $14,500 and posed near the City Center.
You'll find "Play Thing" by Ryszard, Denver, Colorado, and sculpted from Colorado marble, in North Mankato.
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I grew up without much art—no paintings, no piano, no library—that I so appreciate the visual, performing and literary arts.
I still can't paint a painting or read a musical note. But I value those two art forms and words, which have always been a part of me, who I am.
Several years ago I walked the Bemidji Sculpture Walk and I quickly became enamored with the idea of placing sculptures in a community and then swapping them out a year later for new sculptures. The touring sculptures scattered primarily through-out Bemidji's downtown impressed me as an ingenious way to get art before the general public.
Now I needn't drive hours and hours and hours to view such public art. In 45 minutes I can reach downtown Mankato and view the 25 sculptures positioned there and in North Mankato as part of the City Art Walking Sculpture Tour. For free.
On Saturday, while in Mankato for a graduation reception, my husband and I made it a point of afterward checking out those sculptures. We missed seeing only a few of the art pieces, including one along Belgrade Avenue that was vandalized and, ironically, titled "Look and You Will Find." We found only an empty block of Minnesota limestone, donated by Vetter Stone, where the sculpture once stood.
Mahtomedi artist Kate Christopher's $6,900 bronze sculpture, "Look and You Will Find It," was vandalized. The art piece symbolized HOPE.
I expected to find a bustling downtown Mankato. Obviously I have not been downtown for many years. Nearly all of the shopping has moved to the fringes of the city, into the malls and big box stores, and the downtown houses primarily office buildings, restaurants, bars, a hotel and the Verizon Wireless Center. Honestly, except for the sporadic motor traffic on Second Street and a few pedestrians, the place was basically deserted around mid-afternoon. Granted, the weather was less than ideal with on-again-off-again rain. We could park almost anywhere we wanted and walk to the sculptures within a several-block area.
We spotted only two other individuals walking around viewing the sculptures. Dana Parlier of Brooklyn, New York, created this resin sculpture, "Cubist Woman." The man-made concrete canyons of New York City inspired this contemporary art, which seems to match the modern look of the building.
The art pieces certainly present a reason to visit downtown Mankato and then cross the Minnesota River to North Mankato to view several more sculptures. I'm not going to tell you I liked every sculpture, because I didn't. But that's OK; no one expects that. Sometimes first impressions change though. When I spotted "Twenty Seven (China)" from across the street, I honestly thought it looked like a mess of twisted junk. But up close, the steel sculpture of recycled bicycle parts—mostly handle bars—grew on me. Joe Forrest Sacke's $3,500 conglomeration seemed modernish and hippyish and vintageish jumbled into one. Art will surprise you that way.
Joe Forrest Sacke's "Twenty Seven (China)."
You can vote for your favorite, for The People's Choice Award. We didn't, although I narrowed my favorites down to three. Voting booths are strategically located through-out the Walk area.
One of my three favorite sculptures, "White Buffalo Calf Woman," a bronze piece created by Aberdeen, South Dakota, artists Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby. Notice how the dominant color in the sculpture blends with the building's color. Wait until you see the building on the other side of this Native American woman. You will be wowed. I'll share those images with you in another post.
This bronze piece, "The Farmer's Wife," by Dee Clements of Loveland, Colorado, is also among my three favorite sculptures. A photo Clements took in a Korean village inspired this art creation.
The detail in this bronze, "Reading Magic," by Julie Jones of Fort Collins, Colorado, appeals to me and makes it one of my top favorites among the 25 sculptures in the exhibit.
Banners draw visitors to the sculptures and to voting spots in downtown Mankato.
I also noticed, and I don't know whether this was on purpose, but the sculptures often seemed to jive, architecturally and environmentally, with the buildings they were situated near.
Mankato is committed for the next five years to bringing these rotating sculptures into the community via a partnership with the Sioux Falls-based SculptureWalk program. Of course, this all costs money and with the help of a grant, business sponsorships, donations and more, Mankato has managed to bring this art directly to the people.
It's a grand idea. I expect to return to Mankato to see next year's art and perhaps other area attractions. Even though I attended college here for four years, I really didn't appreciate the city. And so much has changed since 1978.
For someone like me, who doesn't venture into Minneapolis to engage in the art scene there, mostly because I don't like the congestion and busyness of the metro, outstate art opportunities like City Art in Mankato offer me culture at a quieter, more enjoyable (at least for me) pace.
SINCE I CAN'T POSSIBLY show you all of my photos in one post, I'll bring you more images in future stories.

Virginia at Syracuse

Syracuse Stumbles in Loss to Virginia
nunesmagician.com
Syracuse suffered a 59-44 defeat at the hands of #2 Virginia on Saturday.
The 44 points were the fewest points the Orange has scored in the Carrier Dome since it began playing its home games there in 1980.
Syracuse trailed 31-21 at the half and would get no closer than nine in the final stanza as the Cavaliers ran away with it down the stretch.
Virginia's defense held Syracuse to just 33.3% shooting from the field, while the Cavaliers connected on 48.9% of their shot attempts. Virginia also outrebounded the Orange by a 35-26 margin and held a 27-0 advantage in bench points.
De'Andre Hunter led the Cavaliers with 15 points off the bench. The freshman also dished out 6 assists. Kyle Guy fell short of his season average for points, scoring just 14 points on an inefficient 5-for-15 from the floor. Guy also grabbed 4 rebounds.
Syracuse was led by Tyus Battle's 15 points. Frank Howard scored 11 points. Marek Dolezaj finished with 9 points on 4-of-6 shooting and grabbed 7 rebounds. Oshae Brissett added 9 points and 6 rebounds.
Battle, Howard, and Brissett played all 40 minutes as only one reserve (Matthew Moyer) checked in for the Orange. Syracuse plays Louisville on Monday where fatigue hopefully won't be a factor in that one.
Jim Boeheim commented on his team's performance in his postgame press conference. "We rely on our two guards to score and make plays and when they don't we have a problem offensively," Boeheim said. "That's really the bottom line the last three games."
Bourama Sidibe was inactive versus Virginia as the freshman center was suffering from discomfort due to tendinitis that has lingered and impacted him all season.
Syracuse dropped to 15-8 overall, 4-6 in the ACC, while Virginia improved to 22-1 on the season and 11-0 in conference play.
The Orange return to action on Monday night when they travel to the Bluegrass State to take on Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center at 7pm. The Cardinals are 16-7 overall and 6-4 in the ACC. Louisville is coming off an 80-76 loss to Florida State at home on Saturday. The Cardinals are led by Deng Adel who is averaging 15.7 points and 5 rebounds per game. Last year, Louisville swept the season series over Syracuse. The Cardinals won 76-72 in overtime in the Dome and 88-68 at the Yum! Center.

Shenzhen to issue only 100K new license plates per year in effort to combat congestion and pollution
January 06, 2015 Neville
On 30 December, the city government of Shenzhen, China announced that it will only issue 100,000 license plates per year via lotteries and auctions, with immediate effect, to fight congestion and pollution.
Shenzhen, a major high-tech and manufacturing hub in southern China's Guangdong province, is located just north of Hong Kong and is the home of BYD as well as the Denza joint venture of BYD and Daimler. By the end of 2013, it had 10.63 million permanent residents. (For comparison, New York City in 2013 had a population of 8.4 million.)
The city will issue 60,000 plates via lottery, including 20,000 for electric vehicles and the remainder for conventional cars. The remaining 40,000 plates for conventional cars will be auctioned.
Other major Chinese cities that restrict vehicle registration include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Guiyang, Shijiazhuang, Tianjin and Hangzhou. Beijing and Guiyang issue plates through lotteries while Shanghai uses a bidding scheme. Tianjin and Guangzhou have a hybrid system.
The number of registered vehicles in Shenzhen has reached 3.14 million. The city has recorded a 16% average annual increase of registered vehicles over the past five years and in 2014 alone, 550,000 vehicles were registered, a 20.9% increase from 2013.
The number of vehicles has created severe traffic congestion and parking space shortages in the city, where drivers have to compete for the existing 1.04 million parking spots. The vehicle park has contributed to the city's deteriorating air quality, as exhaust from automobiles was responsible for 41% of smog, according to official statistics, causing the city's PM2.5 index to exceed a safe limit.
(As another measure, Shenzhen will now fine drivers who cause accidents or congestion because of illegal parking 2,000 yuan (US$322); those who illegally park their vehicles in restricted areas, sidewalks, entrances or exits to housing estates, intersections or at bus stops will be fined 1,000 yuan ($161); and illegal parking on the city's 30 trunk roads will carry a fine of 500 yuan ($81).)
On top of the plate restriction, vehicles registered outside of Shenzhen will now be banned from running in Futian, Luohu, Nanshan and Yantian districts during rush hour—from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on workdays—except on designated roads leading to the checkpoints in the four districts. This restriction doesn't apply during weekends and holidays.
Emergency vehicles, such as fire engines, military vehicles and police cars, as well as vehicles with dual license plates for Hong Kong and Macao, are not subject to the limitation.

Q: Retrofit2 - Sending Array of Type T in a GET request I need to send an array of type User[] in the body of a GET request using retrofit2. This is what the final payload must look like:
body: {
  "data_id": 1,
  "data_provider": "string_value",
  "users": [
    {
      user_id: 1,
      name: 'name'
    },
    {
      user_id: 1,
      name: 'name'
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Current API implementation looks like this:
@GET("api/users/submit.json")
Call<UserData> submitData(@Query("data_id") int data_id, @Query("data_provider") String data_provider, @Query("users[]") User[] users);

Arraylist code:
//Converting the ArrayList<User> usersList to an array
User[] userArray = usersList.toArray(new User[0]);
//The userArray is passed to the retrofit API along with the other request values (data_id, data_provider)

Upon logging the retrofit request, data_id and data_provider are correctly sent except for the User array. The user array looks like this:

api/users/submit.json?data_id=1&data_provider=test&users[]=com.testapp.models.User@7d57487

How can I send an array of type User in the GET request body?

A: You can send User object in request body using @Body annotation
Roughly it would look like this:
Your User Model
class User {
}

Users class which stores the list of Users
class RequestBody {
int data_id;
String data_provider;
List<User> users;
}

@POST("api/users/submit.json")
Call<UserData> submitData(@Body RequestBody requestbody);

You can read more about it in details here:
https://futurestud.io/tutorials/retrofit-send-objects-in-request-body

A: For this payload:-
body: {
  "data_id": 1,
  "data_provider": "string_value",
  "users": [
    {
      user_id: 1,
      name: 'name'
    },
    {
      user_id: 1,
      name: 'name'
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Api structure should be like this:-
public class ReqBody{
    int data_id;
    String data_provider;
    User[] users;
}

@POST("api/users/submit.json")
Call<UserData> submitData(@Body ReqBody reqBody);

If your requirement is something else please attach the proper details for API as at some point you want to send data_id and data_provider in Query param and in the structure you have defined them as part of the body.
If they are part of the body then it should be work like this.


Hi. We fight for DPL. I am available any time after 6pm tonight, tuesday night, wednesday night, or thursday night. When can we play?
Paired for DUU ssnl. I'm UTC +1 and available all days from 8.30pm-11pm. Can also be more flexible on sundays if need be. When do u wanna play?
hi, when for tie breaker? I'm gmt-8 can do 6-10pm tonight or tomorrow at a reasonable time.
Yo, when would you like to play for the PiC minitour? I'm guessing that the weekend may be best since I'm GMT+8 and you're GMT-6. Apart from the weekends I'm free around 7pm-8pm and 9pm-10:30pm every weekday too.
Either of those work good, if you're alright with playing today that'd be cool. I'll probably be on during that whole timeframe so just shoot me a pm when you want to play.
How is your schedule on Saturday? Because our timezone are too diferent (im -3) and I think that it will be more easier to play on Saturday (or Sunday if you prefer).
Hi again, we've got to play for tour playoffs. I'm still GMT+1, and would like to play Saturday or Sunday at some point from 9pm onwards my time.
I was writing for you too lol Sure, Saturday at 9pm (gmt+1) is fine for me.
this saturday at your 10pm?
can you play right now?
we are matched up for dou ssnls, I am gmt+2, when can you play?
Hello! I'm online on Showdown. my nick is Vallex. Tried to send a PM for you but you are locked. "The user "zugubu royale" is locked and cannot be PMed."
Hey Valentim! Oh nice the same GMT xD So i think that i can play tomorrow (10/05) around 2-6 PM and 10-11PM or Friday around 3-6PM and 9-11PM. This is fine for you?


Sets a callback function on an encoder (or all encoders on a channel) to receive notifications about its status.
proc Callback function to receive the notifications... NULL = no callback.
When setting a notification callback on a channel, it only applies to the encoders that are currently set on the channel. Subsequent encoders will not automatically have the notification callback set on them, this function will have to be called again to set them up.
An encoder can only have one notification callback set. Subsequent calls of this function can be used to change the callback function, or disable notifications (proc = NULL).
The status of an encoder and its cast connection (if it has one) is checked when data is sent to the encoder or server, and by BASS_Encode_IsActive. That means an encoder's death will not be detected automatically, and so no notification given, while no data is being encoded.
If the encoder is already dead when setting up a notification callback, the callback will be triggered immediately.

Last week, I drove up to New Hampshire–more specifically, to the White Mountains in New Hampshire–to do a little guided climbing. (With the endlessly patient and tremendously knowledgeable Nick Aiello-Popeo of Synnott Mountain Guides in Intervale, NH.) Climbing in the winter is supposed to be hard work; this past weekend turned out to be just that. Friday saw some of the coldest weather of the year as temperatures fell to below zero Fahrenheit; Saturday featured steady snowfall, and then later, up on the higher reaches of Mt. Washington, high winds that eventually forced us back down, aborting our attempt to make it to the summit.
During my drive from Brooklyn to North Conway, NH, on Thursday I sensed, from the falling temperatures during the day, that the guided climbing that lay ahead of me would be good and frigid. My impressions weren't mistaken; my abiding memory of my time in the White Mountains was the bone-chilling cold. Nick and I spent most of Friday practicing some elementary moves on Willey's Slide and Frankenstein; on the former cliff, we did some basic ice axe and crampon work, moving up and down a snow and ice slope to get comfortable with controlled moves on those surfaces.
I made a small belayed ascent using some front-pointing and low-dagger technique; the slope featured some thin ice over rocks which made this interestingly challenging for a total novice like me. We also spent a lot of time just trying to warm up: windmills galore issued from our freezing bodies. We then changed venues to a): warm up a little by returning to the car and driving to a new location and b) work on a steeper slope to do some ice climbing.
Finally, with the light starting to fade, we packed up our gear and headed back to the warmth of the car. I headed back to my motel to get some sleep and rest before trying our ascent of Mt. Washington on Saturday. A report on that failed attempt follows tomorrow.

The deadly connections between climate change and migration
People fleeing weather disasters at home face dire risks when they attempt to walk across the U.S.-Mexico border through the Sonoran Desert.

[en Español]
Thousands of people have died attempting to enter the U.S. from Mexico. And the crossing is growing even more dangerous as the climate changes.
U.S. border security policy in the Southwest is designed to deter unauthorized migration at heavily guarded urban entry points. So undocumented migrants with little access to water often spend days on foot in remote areas of the sweltering Sonoran Desert, located in the Mexican states of Sonora, Baja California, Baja California Sur, and the U.S. states of Arizona and California.
More than 7,000 migrants died during attempted southern border crossings between 2000 and 2020, according to the U.S. Border Control. The actual death toll is likely far higher, because some bodies are never recovered.
UCLA anthropologist Jason De León directs the Undocumented Migration Project, a long-term study of unauthorized migration. In a recent study, De Léon and colleagues modeled the risk of dehydration and death during undocumented border crossings – both now and over the next 30 years. They found that as temperatures warm and desert conditions grow more extreme, more migrants are likely to die from severe dehydration.
Yale Climate Connections spoke with De Léon about the deadly connections between migration and climate change.
This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.
Yale Climate Connections: What are the main drivers of undocumented migration across the U.S.-Mexico border?
Jason De León: The primary reasons that people attempt undocumented migrations include poverty, political instability, violence of different forms, famine, a devaluation of currency, and, increasingly, climate change.
You've got people who are fleeing places like western Mexico because of droughts. They're fleeing places like Honduras because of the intensity and frequency of hurricanes that are just devastating these places. And so you have all of these migrants who are suddenly having to flee their home countries because of the impacts of global warming. They're headed towards a country like the United States, which is largely responsible, or one of the key players, in creating this global warming problem. And then they are trying to cross through the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, where they are facing even more risk as these places get hotter because of climate change. And so these folks are being affected by climate change at multiple points in their journey.
The relationship between climate change and migration is for me, one of the most understudied and misunderstood parts of our global migration crisis. I think people have tended to want to separate those two things. And if you look at just Central America in the last couple of years, it is very, very clear that as climate change starts to devastate these very poor countries, people are going to start to be leaving in higher and higher numbers. And so we are now living in a moment with climate refugees. And the United States is going to have to deal with this moving into the future. And this is not a problem that you can solve with the border wall. This is not a problem that you can solve even with guest worker programs. This is a global crisis around climate change that we need to address in many, many different, large-scale ways to better handle this problem.
Listen: Climate change is driving migration to U.S. and making it more dangerous

When people see a bunch of little kids at the U.S.-Mexico border being dropped off by their parents or by a smuggler or being carried across the Rio Grande or through the desert with their parents, people say, "Oh my God, I can't believe you would ever do that to your children." I think the question we should be asking is, how bad must it be in your home country for you to take those kinds of risks with your children? When I look at that, I think, you know, things are horrific. That is the last thing that a parent wants to do is to put their children in danger. But these folks are having to do it because what's waiting for them back at home in a place like Honduras is famine, hurricanes, political instability, rampant gang violence. So they're really caught between a rock and a hard place, but they will say to you things like, "I would rather risk my life in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona than watch my children die in San Pedro Sula from starvation or lack of health care or because they were shot on a street corner by some gang." At least in the Arizona desert, those folks will say that they're taking some control over their destiny.
YCC: What are the greatest risks migrants face while attempting to enter the U.S.?
Jason De León: In the mid-1990s, the United States developed a border patrol policy called Prevention Through Deterrence. And what that policy tries to do is it fortifies urban ports of entry – so San Diego, El Paso, the town of Nogales in southern Arizona. And it makes it virtually impossible to cross illegally through one of those zones because of the heavy infrastructure. There's a lot of agents on the ground and motion sensors and helicopters and vehicles.
Because of ramped-up security, people are walking into more and more remote areas where it's hard for border patrol to get to them, but also, it's doubling or tripling the amount of time that they've spent walking in the desert. And so when I began this project in 2009, most people were walking two to three days in the desert. And now it's not uncommon to find someone who's been walking out there for almost two weeks.
Now they have to walk sometimes upwards of 100 miles across vast and treacherous terrain like the Sonoran Desert of Arizona or the South Texas Backwoods. And the idea is that if we force those people to try to cross through those locations, they will be deterred by the physical cost of getting across that terrain. So in a lot of ways, we've weaponized the desert as a way to slow down migration, and it's killed thousands of people. It's led to the disappearance of thousands of people. And this has been our primary security paradigm along the U.S.-Mexico border since the mid-'90s.
And we have to keep in mind that for many decades, the primary people coming to the United States from farther south were coming from Mexico. But starting around a little over 10 years ago, we really started to see an increase in folks coming from other countries who had to cross now all of Central America and Mexico in order to get to the United States. And so we're talking about people from Guatemala, El Salvador, and really right now the majority of folks coming from Honduras as well as farther places like Cuba, Venezuela, Africa. And so those folks now have to cross several countries. They have to deal oftentimes with corrupt immigration agents in various places. They are highly targeted for kidnapping, for assault, for murder. And so now migrants not only have to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, they also have to cross this minefield that has become Mexico.
YCC: You and your colleagues studied water loss for migrants during summer months. Why did you choose that specific risk factor? What did you learn?
Jason De León: You know, I've written extensively about the experiences of border crossers: What happens to those who die in the desert? What happens to those who disappear? But much of that has either been sort of forensic or ethnographic – so, talking with the families of the missing and of the deceased, or talking to living migrants about their experiences. And we really wanted to try to find a way to quantify the physiological impact that Prevention Through Deterrence has on the body.
I already could have told you that a lack of water is what's going to kill you. And it's impossible to carry enough water. I sort of already knew this anecdotally. But we did learn, on a more specific level, just how quickly the body becomes dehydrated and we're able to really quantify the rapid speed at which people lose water.
They're facing, oftentimes, extreme heat, so they're losing water at a high rate and they're not able to replenish that. And we know that the risk of death is very, very high. And so we were interested in really trying to quantify what water loss looks like at the level of the body.
And keep in mind that that in the models that we did, we drew a straight line from point A to point B and said, OK, a migrant would walk from here to there over the course of, you know, three or four days. They would lose a lot of water. They would run out of water by day three or day four. That's assuming that people are walking on the straightest path with no obstacles in their way. But what we know is that people are taking very circuitous routes to get to a place like Tucson, so they're winding through the mountains and adding days and days to their journeys. And so, they are on these journeys with a much higher likelihood of death than what our scenarios would even suggest.
YCC: What can be done to save lives?
Jason De León: It's a great question and always the most difficult one to answer. For me it's a couple of different things. I think one is we need to understand that we have a border policy in place that weaponizes the Arizona desert and has killed thousands of people, has disappeared thousands of people, and has physically brutalized millions of people.
So for me, one of the first big steps is to cease to use this policy. And if people want to come here and apply for asylum, let them do that. Let them come here legally to go through the legal process.
I think we need to improve our work visa program that allows folks to move back and forth. And work visa programs are very tricky because they oftentimes lead to a lot of exploitation, which is what we had in the '50s and '60s. It ended up becoming such a problem with abuses against guest workers that we got rid of the program altogether. But I think we need something new that is more sensitive and secure for those who we want to come here and work and be able to move back and forth. I think we need to take a hard look at how much we rely on immigrant labor in this country and recognize and value the value that those folks give to us and treat them better.
But then also, helping these countries to deal with climate change and all the other issues that are happening in their home countries that oftentimes the U.S. has a big hand in. So we think about political stability in Central America: The U.S. has been destabilizing Central America since the early 20th century. We could think about the ways in which we have used exports and the production of U.S. goods in places like Mexico at lower rates that make those jobs really unsustainable for those who are trying to make a living. I think we need to figure out how to have more equal trade agreements, but then also helping those countries to combat climate change as it's happening in their countries, political corruption, the drug war. In the drug war that's happening in Mexico, it's U.S. consumers and European consumers who are the ones who are driving that market. So it's a lot of different things and people often get frustrated when they ask an anthropologist how to fix these things because it is so complicated. But I think of a big part of it, too, is just understanding that for so long we've been convinced that a border wall could solve some kind of a problem or that immigration reform can happen exclusively at the U.S.-Mexico border. And it's a much bigger problem. It's a global problem that we need to deal with both domestically and internationally.

Q: iptables rules dissappear when manually adding a nat rule to iptables-persistent file I noticed that about two-thirds of the rules I have specified in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 stopped showing in sudo iptables -S after I added a nat rule. (I isolated the disappearance to adding this one rule.) I have fail2ban and iptables-persistent installed. Where are my iptables rules going?

A: You have ':INPUT DROP' in rules.v4 and '-P INPUT ACCEPT' in sudo iptables -S output. Looks too much different, like You forget to reconfigure iptables-persistent package after rules changes.
Reconfiguring of iptables-persistent is necessary after every change of rules via the command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent

I suggest three steps:
1). Clear rules.
# delete all current rules and user chains
iptables -F
iptables -X

# global policy (target by default)
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

# localhost
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

2). Define Your rules again.
3). Reconfigure iptables-persistent.

Thank you for your interest in Shamanic Healing!
Shamans or medicine man and women in traditional cultures have for millenia practiced what is nowadays called natural holistic energy healing.
Shamanic vision embraces the detail within the whole at material, symbolic, mythic and spiritual level. That allows the deep healing shifts in material reality, resolving all kind of problems and ailments.
Shamans do not lock the problem by labeling (diagnosing) it. They acknowledge it needs to be healed and heal it.
I have studied, healed from and been initiated in some South American Shamanic traditions, which are holistic, straightforward and powerful, especially in case of stubborn problematic patterns and ailments that appear mysterious from Western mainstream modalities point of view.
Each and every human aspect - mental, emotional, physiological, physical and spiritual - can benefit from shamanic healing, which helps open up the path to your health, success and fulfilment.
Shamanic Healing is compatible with all other forms of healing - medical, traditional, complementary and self-healing.

PS5 Role-Playing Games (RPGs)
Got 100 hours to spare? Even if it takes all year, these games will give you the most bang for your buck, and take you on a journey like none other.
RPG Games For The PS5
Anima: Song From The Abyss
Cris Tales
Diablo II Resurrected
Godfall
Lords of The Fallen 2
Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood
Our Top Picks For Role-Playing Games (RPGs) on The PS5
1. Final Fantasy
It took a long time, and it was delayed on numerous occasions, but Final Fantasy XV finally released on the PS4, and it was well-received! This fantasy game mixed with a modern reality was a unique approach for the series, but it paid off well. While we probably won't see a Final Fantasy XV-2 or anything, this series still has legs.
Who knows what Final Fantasy XVI will be like, but I guarantee you it will appear on the PS5.
2. Elder Scrolls
Years after its release, people are still talking about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Say what you will about Bethesda and their bugs, these games still manage to sell like hotcakes every time. In fact, Skyrim itself was remastered in 2016, bringing it to the forefront of everyone's minds.
Bethesda tends to alternate between Fallout and Elder Scrolls, so the next one up is Elder Scrolls VI. While there's a chance we'll see it on the PS4, it's more likely they'll take a few years to get it ready and release on the PS5.
3. Fallout
When they're not doing Elder Scrolls, Bethesda is working on Fallout. Fallout 4 wasn't the best entry in the series, but it was a solid RPG/shooter with some cool DLC. Since we'll most likely see the next Elder Scrolls before we see a Fallout 5, this one is a surefire title on the PS5.
With talks of making Fallout 4 in VR, we could also potentially see the successor appear in virtual reality on the PS5.
4. JRPGs Return
We've seen a decent rise in JRPGs on the PS4. Games like Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV have brought these titles into the mainstream, while games like Tales of Berseria, and smaller titles like Nights of Azure are still carving a niche for themselves.
I think the PS5 will open the floodgates, and we'll see a new RPG renaissance not seen since the days of the PS2. Not because of the horsepower or the hardware, but because gamers and developers will reach a point where it makes sense to bring these types of games to a wider audience.
It's already happening, slowly but surely.
5. Diablo IV
Anyone who knows Blizzard knows that they take their sweet time with new releases, but it's usually worth the wait. When Diablo III released on PS4, it was excellent. The local co-op play was great, and the controls transitioned perfectly to the DualShock 4.
I think this gave Blizzard the confidence they need to do it again. There's no doubt in my mind we'll see Diablo IV at some point, it's just a matter of when. After the success with the PS4 version of 3, I'm predicting it will launch alongside the PC version on the PS5.

On the job injury—your supervisor. It's very important that injuries be reported within 24 hours regardless if treatment will need to be sought or not. There is a 'first report of injury' form that must be completed for worker's comp and a process for evaluation and treatment that must be followed for worker's comp to pay. Your supervisor has a list of approved providers for treatment.
Client medication—your supervisor. If your supervisor is not available and the question is immediate, you may also call the main office and ask for Donna Morin or your program director.
Problems with a co-worker—your supervisor. If the problem involves your supervisor, go to Human Resources or your program director.
A situation involving abuse or neglect—this must be reported immediately to your supervisor or agency management. If you do not report this immediately, you are placing not only the person being neglected or abused at risk, but you are placing your continued employment at risk as well.
Company policy— first, check the employee website; the most updated policies can be found in the current version of the Employee Handbook in the HR section. You may also ask your supervisor or Human Resources.
Time off— your supervisor. You may also access your PTO balance on the employee website. Your supervisor must pre-approve any time off you plan to take.
I know I have ongoing training requirements, how do I find out when I have refresher training due? How do I sign up for a class? Monthly reports detailing anything a staff is due for are posted on the HR billboard, the Senior Care building billboard, and on the employee website (HR section). Title VI and OSHA are required annually by everyone and those classes are done online. To sign up for other classes, such as CPR, First Aid, or Medication Administration you should contact Evalyn Franzone at e.franzone@progress-inc.org.
Can I expect random drug screening? Yes. Progress has another party randomly pull 10-15 names every month for drug screening. If you receive a call from Human Resources that your name was pulled, you have 24 hours to come to the main office for the screening. There are no exceptions to this rule.
What are the requirements for filling out and turning in my timesheet? What is the pay schedule?
Progress pays its employees twice monthly, on the first business day of the month (for time worked from the 1st through the 15th of prior month) and on the 16th, or the Friday before the 16th if the 16th falls on a weekend (for time worked the 16th through the end of prior month). Timesheets can be obtained on the employee website or at the main office; each time sheet indicates the due date and should be signed by employee, date stamped in lobby of main office and turned in to supervisor by the due date. The complete policy is on the reverse of every time sheet.
Am I automatically full time if I work over 32 hours? No. Just because your working 32 hours doesn't mean that you are necessarily considered a full-time staff eligible for benefits. Full-Time staff are those that have permanent positions that have a consistent permanent plan to be provided 32+ hours and have signed a Change of Status (COS) form denoting so. If you were hired in a part time position, you do not become full time because you work 32 hours week. Please make your supervisor aware if you are seeking to become full-time to determine availability.
If I have questions or concerns about the person I support, should I go directly to the family or conservator for an answer?
It is very difficult for Progress management to ensure that direct support professionals get everything they need to support people well and ensure that the people we support are getting everything that they need to happy, healthy, and safe if we don't know what all the issues/concerns are! While it is normal for DSPs to have good communication with families and conservators, it is never appropriate to take problems directly to them. You must take issues and concerns, as they arise, to your supervisor or program director. It is better to have one central point of contact for families, ISCs, and conservators.
How do I get my mileage or other reimbursement check? What if I have to pick it up at a later time?
Shift staff employees who transport clients to their day activities or other appointments, as directed by their supervisor, are eligible for monthly mileage reimbursement. Mileage Reimbursement forms are available at the employee website and from the Receptionist at the main office. Mileage should be listed by date for the entire month and submitted to supervisor for approval at the end of the month. Reimbursement checks are distributed with payroll on the 16th of the month or available from the Receptionist any time after that.
What is my chain of command? Supervisor, Program Director, Executive Director. Should you feel like your issue has gone unresolved despite your attempts to follow the chain of command there is a Employee Grievance Procedure located in your handbook. You may also discuss issues with the Director of Human Resources, but this does not exclude the involvement of your chain of command.
How do I see someone in the business office?
Either make an appointment ahead of time by sending the person you want to see an email or by calling them, or come to the office and ask the Receptionist, Lanitta Joseph, to check on that person's immediate availability.

Harris said he beat the odds, since when he was first diagnosed, the worst was feared.
"They said surgery (and) I avoided that,'' Harris said. "The original time limit was three months -- I made it back in five weeks.
The Mavs truly miss the quickness, aggressiveness and lane penetration Harris supplies them with. His performance has often led to easy opportunity baskets.
On the defensive end, Harris has a penchant for drawing offensive fouls.
"A lot of energy, a lot of tenacity,'' Carlisle said, when asked what contributions Harris provides on defense. "He's one of our top on the ball defenders without question, and so it's important to get a guy like that back into the rotation.
In other words, Harris will be on a minutes restriction until the Mavs feel he can go full bore.
"He's going to be limited minutes-wise,'' Carlisle said. "I don't know what the number is, but he won't play a full game.
The Mavs have gotten off to a sluggish 3-13 start. It's a record that's been difficult for Harris to stomach while sitting on the bench in street clothes.
"It's been real tough to watch,'' Harris said. "I'll just get back and just do what I can.
But he'll be in one tonight.

From spring to autumn, the valley is also packed with motorcyclists from around the country, who come to traverse the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, motor through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and enjoy the camaraderie of other riders who make annual treks to Maggie to visit the Wheels Through Time Museum. The Museum is among the highlights of a visit to Maggie, featuring a world-class collection of historic motorcycles and some cars. Most of the motorcycles are still in running condition. The museum has been featured in dozens of television shows and magazine articles.
Cataloochee Ski Area features the best skiing in the southern mountains and typically is one of the first ski resorts in the East to open. The resort's snowmaking abilities are constantly modernized and updated, allowing it to add inches of snow to its base every time the weather drops below freezing.
Near the ski resort is Cataloochee Ranch, which has cabins, horse stables, a grand old lodge and restaurant, all atop a 5,000-foot mountain. Those not staying at the ranch are invited to join staff and visitors for evening cookouts, and you might even hear some local storytelling.
From Maggie Valley it's a short drive to Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Elk again roam free in the valley, thanks to a re-introduction program. Dusk is the best bet for guaranteed sightings, but please, stay away from the elk. They have antlers for a reason. For true local charm, look no further than Canton and Clyde, the neighboring towns nestled in eastern Haywood County. They are situated around the Evergreen paper mill, which started life as Blue Ridge Paper Products and has been running steadily for more than 100 years.

Q: Generate bills from two tables using mysql query I have a table below in database which is as following,
menugroups :
+----Name---+--PrintOdr-+
+-----------+-----------+
|Starters   |1          |
|Deserts    |2          |
|Soups      |3          |
+-----------+-----------+

And another table as following,
Orders
+----ID-----+---Name----+--MenuGrp--+TableNo+
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------+
|1          |Sandwich   |Starters   |1      |
|"space"    |Cheese     |Starters   |1      |
|2          |Chips      |Starters   |1      |
|3          |Brownie    |Deserts    |1      |
|"space"    |IceCream   |Deserts    |1      |
|1          |Sandwich   |Starters   |1      |
|2          |Chips      |Starters   |1      |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------+

Now I want the bill to be generated as,
tablenos :
+----Name---+--Qty--+
+-----------+-------+
|Sandwich   |1      |
|Cheese     |1      |
|Chips      |2      |
|Sandwich   |1      |
|Brownie    |1      |
|Icecream   |1      |
+-----------+-------+

PrintOdr in menugroups gives the order in which the Items Ordered are to be printed.
So according to menugroups defined above Starters should be printed first and then Deserts and then Soups. menugroups can also have same PrintOdr indicating they can be printed in any order. In orders items whose ID="Space" (means " ") they are toppings added to the above item. So now when bill is to be generated if item doesn't have any toppings then they can be added together as in the case above with chips. But if items have toppings then they shouldn't be added with similar items ordered as in the case of Sandwich.
So please provide me help to generate a query for the same.

A: Try this ,it would be better related if you place the menugroup id in the column MenuGrp of orders for now you can join on tables on the basis of names and MenuGrps
SELECT
  o.`name`,
  COUNT(o.`name`) AS qty
FROM
  orders o
  JOIN menugroups m
    ON (m.`name` = o.MenuGrp)
GROUP BY o.`name`
ORDER BY m.PrintOdr ASC

A: with the topping it's so tricky, a lot of playing around with variables but here's a query that gives you what you want. Basically I play around with variables to generate different IDs if an item hasToppings.
SELECT IF(IsTopping, CONCAT("+",t3.Name),t3.Name) as DisplayName,
       Count(*) as Qty,
       IF(HasTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,GeneratedId),
        IF(isTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,GeneratedId),CONCAT(t3.Name,ID))) as newName

FROM
(
SELECT *,IF (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM
                 (select *,IF (@prevNewId2 != newId,@generatedID2:=@generatedID2 + 1,@generatedID2) as generatedID,
         @prevNewId2 := NewId
from
(select *,IF (ID = ' ',@prevID2,ID) as newID,
         IF (ID != ' ',@prevID2 := ID,@prevID2),
         IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping

from orders,(SELECT @prevID2 := 0)var)o,(SELECT @prevNewId2:=0,@generatedID2 := 1000)var
 )t2
WHERE t2.generatedID = t1.generatedID
  AND t2.isTopping = 1
                 ) AND isTopping = 0,1,0) as hasTopping
FROM
(select *,IF (@prevNewId != newId,@generatedID:=@generatedID + 1,@generatedID) as generatedID,
         @prevNewId := NewId
from
(select *,IF (ID = ' ',@prevID,ID) as newID,
         IF (ID != ' ',@prevID := ID,@prevID),
         IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping
from orders,(SELECT @prevID := 0)var)o,(SELECT @prevNewId:=0,@generatedID := 1000)var
 )t1

)t3 INNER JOIN menugroups mg ON mg.Name = t3.MenuGrp
GROUP BY DisplayName,NewName
ORDER BY mg.PrintOdr,t3.generatedID,t3.isTopping

please see sqlFiddle, you can just ignore the newname column it's only used for grouping, but displayname and qty column gives you what you want.
You might have to add WHERE TableNo = 1 to whenever there's a select from orders if you have multiple TableNo(s).
second version query to solve issue where 1 sandwich is with topping right after another sandwich without topping.
SELECT IF(IsTopping, CONCAT("+",t3.Name),t3.Name) as DisplayName,
 Count(*) as Qty,
 IF(HasTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,GeneratedId),
 IF(isTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,GeneratedId),CONCAT(t3.Name,ID))) as newName

FROM
(
SELECT *,IF (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM
 (select *,IF (@prevNewId2 != newId,@generatedID2:=@generatedID2 + 1,@generatedID2) as generatedID,
 @prevNewId2 := NewId
from
(select *,IF (ID = ' ',@prevID2,@newId2:=@newId2+1) as newID,
 IF (ID != ' ',@prevID2 := @newId2,@prevID2),
 IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping
from orders,(SELECT @prevID2 := 0,@newId2:=0)var
)o,(SELECT @prevNewId2:=0,@generatedID2 := 1000)var
 )t2
WHERE t2.generatedID = t1.generatedID
 AND t2.isTopping = 1
 ) AND isTopping = 0,1,0) as hasTopping
FROM
(select *,IF (@prevNewId != newId,@generatedID:=@generatedID + 1,@generatedID) as generatedID,
 @prevNewId := NewId
from
(select *,IF (ID = ' ',@prevID,@newId:=@newId+1) as newID,
 IF (ID != ' ',@prevID := @newId,@prevID),
 IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping
from orders,(SELECT @prevID := 0,@newId:=0)var

)o,(SELECT @prevNewId:=0,@generatedID := 1000)var
 )t1

)t3 INNER JOIN menugroups mg ON mg.Name = t3.MenuGrp
GROUP BY DisplayName,NewName
ORDER BY mg.PrintOdr,t3.generatedID,t3.isTopping;

sqlFiddle
here's a shorter version that works (also with rate and price)
SELECT IF(IsTopping, CONCAT("+",t3.Name),t3.Name) as DisplayName,
 Count(*) as Qty,
 t3.rate,t3.rate * Count(*) as price,
 IF(HasTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,newId),
 IF(isTopping,CONCAT(t3.Name,newId),CONCAT(t3.Name,ID))) as newName
FROM
(SELECT *,IF (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM
                       (select *,IF (ID = ' ',@newId2,@newId2:=@newId2+1) as newID,
                                 IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping
                        from orders,(SELECT @newId2:=1000)var
                       )t2
                      WHERE t2.newId = t1.newId
                      AND t2.isTopping = 1
                      ) AND isTopping = 0,1,0
             ) as hasTopping
 FROM (select *,IF (ID = ' ',@newId,@newId:=@newId+1) as newID,
                IF (ID = ' ',1,0) as isTopping
       from orders,(SELECT @newId:=1000)var
       )t1
)t3 INNER JOIN menugroups mg ON mg.Name = t3.MenuGrp
GROUP BY DisplayName,NewName,rate
ORDER BY mg.PrintOdr,t3.newId,t3.isTopping;

Samsung now promises 5 years of security updates for some flagships
But there's a catch.
Adamya Sharma
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
Samsung has promised five years of security updates for the Galaxy S20, S21, Note 20, and a few other devices.
The new update policy currently applies to Samsung's enterprise edition models.
However, it's likely that the regular consumer versions of the phones will also benefit from the development.
Samsung has been at the top of its game lately when it comes to providing timely software updates to its phones. Adding another feather to its cap, the South Korean company has now promised five years of Android security patches to some of its current and older flagships. However, there's a catch.
The devices eligible for Samsung's five-year update promise include only the enterprise edition of the Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy XCover 5, and the Galaxy Tab Active 3. All other enterprise devices will get four years of security updates, just like all other Samsung devices from 2019 or later.
Samsung's enterprise edition phones are meant for businesses. They can be programmed and managed by companies with their proprietary work software and apps. Samsung also equips them with its Knox Suite that serves as a mobile command center for companies. While you can pick up a Samsung enterprise edition phone online, you'll probably want to stick to the regular consumer version because you don't need all that extra enterprise software.
There's a good chance that Samsung will also provide five years of security updates to its non-enterprise models.
As far as the security firmware goes, Samsung says the five years of patches for enterprise flagships will be broken up into monthly and quarterly updates.
Meanwhile, there's a good chance that Samsung will also provide five years of security updates to its non-enterprise flagship models even though it only promises four years of updates for them. The company previously offered four years of security patches for its enterprise stock. Still, the consumer versions of the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S8 all received four years of updates from their launch date.

Loft Conversions Made Easy!
MAIN CONTRACTOR
Nick Winzor-Saile
Nick, an experienced loft converter in Norwich, needed a cost-effective solution for insulating his client's loft conversion. Nick was subject to current building regulations which require a u-value of 0.18 in the roof.
THE PROBLEM...
Nick was looking for an alternative issue to using a traditional form board, which would require at least 150mm to meet the required U-value. He was also looking for something that was easier, cleaner and simpler to install.
The search began…
HOW WE HELPED...
Nick found SuperFOIL and got in touch with our technical advisors. He was given a solution of using SuperFOIL SF40 combined with a 47.5mm insulated plasterboard which met the required U-value of 0.18.
Our technical team dealt with the building inspector, providing all U-value calculations and condensation risk analysis. As well as this, the team were able to support Nick in finding a competitive price from his local supplier.
Nick said:
"the SF40 was installed in no time at all" he continued "it was SO much faster and easier than foam board. The plasterboard is already up, and we can get on with the rest of the job!"
By contacting SuperFOIL, Nick was confident he had the correct information and confidence of knowing he could achieve his goal and reduce his overall material cost for his customer.

CNN Analyst to Fox Contributor: "By virtue of being a white male you have white privilege."
CNN analyst Areva Martin mistakenly accused Sirius XM radio host and Fox News Contributor David Webb for his "white privilege" because of his views on race Tuesday morning, to which Webb responded… that he's black.
In a debate on his show about what makes some people qualified for certain jobs over others, Webb said as a general rule when applying for jobs he cares more about his work-related expertise and experience, not skin color.
She should've checked herself before she wrecked herself.
When you make everything about race, stuff like this is bound to happen.
"My people gave me the wrong information…" hysterical. Doesn't change the fact that her main argument in that exchange was that he was white and privileged.
At least this time, something as stupid as identity politics produced something hilarious.
I am at lunch surrounded by people I don't know, and I begin laughing out loud.
