– Listen to the genesis of the next best-selling genre at Amazon: National Security Children's Books.
– Why does the Unified Command Plan seem to drive all the seams to sea?
– Should the Military, Department of Defense, and the Department of State use the same geographical organization, or does that just make too much sense?
– So who does global defense strategy? Not the Combatant Commands.
– What if before the war everyone showed up?

Episode 0009: Guest Loren DeJonge Schulman / The Draft (The Smell of Victory Podcast by Divergent Options)
Image from https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/exhibits/ww1/Pages/home-front-draft-board.aspx
Today on The Smell of Victory Podcast, Bob Hein and Phil Walter sat down with Loren DeJonge Schulman of the Center for a New American Security to discuss the draft.
– As the world returns to great power competition, is it time to bring back the draft?
– Is the all-volunteer military turning into a warrior class?
-Since the end of the draft, the stage has been set to ensure the U.S. public can be insulated from war.
– Your kids aren't going, your taxes aren't going up, so stop worrying about it.
– Since Korea, we no longer do pay as you go wars.
– A rich person's war, and a poor person's fight, is not far from the truth.
– Presidents have found they can wage war without a lot of oversight.
– Congress has zero desire to have a political discussion about America's wars overseas.
– Should a draft be used as a forcing function to even out the demographics of the military?
– It is vital you include women in the draft. Right now women are not required to register for the Selective Service.
– Maybe we need a draft focused on specific skill sets
– The reality is going to be "Hold the hell on until the U.S. industrial base and the draft can be mobilized.
– After fighting an endless war, what if the warrior class decided they no longer wanted their children serving in the military?
– Battle field proximity and battle field effectiveness are no longer the same thing.

Episode 0006: The Politicization of Retired U.S. Military Generals and Admirals (The Smell of Victory Podcast by Divergent Options)
Image from https://niskanencenter.org/blog/future-liberalism-politicization-everything/
In 1988 General Paul X. Kelly, a retired United States Marine Corps General, made it known that he endorsed candidate George Bush for President of the United States. That simple endorsement broke open the dam, emboldening future generations of retired Generals and Admirals to make their views known during each election cycle. What are the impacts, good or bad, when retired military Generals and Admirals stand on stage to support a candidate for President? What impacts do these endorsements have on the military members still serving? Can or should anything be done about these endorsements? Join Bob Hein and Steve Leonard as they discuss these issues and more on this episode of The Smell of Victory Podcast!

Episode 0002: U.S. & PRC Maritime Competition (The Smell of Victory Podcast by Divergent Options)
In this episode of The Smell of Victory Podcast Bob Hein leads the way in a discussion focusing on maritime competition between the United States and the People's Republic of China while Steve Leonard and Phil Walter sprint to keep up!
This episode begins with a brief overview of A.T. Mahan and Julian Corbett and the differences between Sea Control and Power Projection. Your trio of hosts then takes four ideas Andrew Marshall posed in his 1972 RAND paper "Long-Term Competition with the Soviets: A Framework for Strategic Analysis" and discusses them in a United States and People's Republic of China maritime competition context. Per Andrew Marshall:
A natural sequence of steps in the development of a policy, or strategy, for the long-term strategic arms competition is the following:
1. Characterization of the nature of the competition.
2. Delineation of u.s. goals in the competition.
3. Development of an appropriate strategy, or strategies, for achieving these goals.
4. Development of analytical methods and modification of inputs required to design and program U.S. strategic forces in accordance with this strategy.
Mahan, Corbett, Marshall, and even Bob Hein's preferred cigar brands (Montecristo and My Father) are discussed in this episode!

Aisha Buhari to APC - Consider card-carrying members for appointments | Welcome to Dare Lasisi's blog!
The event, which took place at the Daura Stadium attracted women and youth supporters of the APC from across Katsina state.
Mrs. Buhari noted that the constitution of the party specifies that appointments to offices in an APC led government should go to card-carrying members; she, therefore, advised that the party constitution should be respected.
One of the speakers at the event, Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika praised the electorate for choosing President Buhari, whose integrity, he said, is time-tested. He assured them that the second tenure will result in development in all spheres of endeavor. He commended Mrs. Buhari for her initiative of engaging women and youth during the presidential campaign, which resulted in the massive votes recorded.
The event was attended by the wife of the Governor of Katsina state, Mrs. Zakiyya Masari, wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Mannir Yakubu and wife of Minister of Interior, Mrs. Hadiza Dambazau.


It has been a couple of weeks since my last post, as technology, templates and taxes have conspired to keep my focus elsewhere. My wireless router is acting up (I've had it with Netgear - going back to Linksys next week), and I still can't figure out what to do about the new blogger template, but at least I did finally get my taxes finished today.
A lot of flotsam and jetsam has washed ashore on the DWSUWF beach while I wasn't paying attention. Time to clean up the beach before the upcoming birthday celebration. DWSUWF will be one year old in just a few days. We'll be celebrating in fine style, with a Carnival of Divided Government - Special Anniversary Edition to be posted on the anniversary of our first post - April 23, 2007. Get your submissions in to be included in the carnival, but remember - if your post does not mention divided government, your post will not be mentioned in the carnival.
Between now and then, there is plenty to blog about. I need to wrap up coverage of the final rounds of the first President vs. Congress divided government slugfest. Chuck Hagel is back in Iraq and I'll be interested in hearing what he has to say. The horror in Iraq continues unabated while the administration flogs the notion of a military "victory", without specificying exactly what that "victory" is going to look like. I can help there. I think I know exactly what "victory in Iraq" looks like. Stay tuned.
Your swine has merely got the hots"
Could that someone be mack the knife"
Thats why the lady is a tramp"
This particular rapper goes by the handle "Chairman of the Board". He associated with "gangstas", abused and objectified women, was known to take drugs and alcohol, had several brushes with the law and often was involved in fights, usually associated with his gang "The Rat Pack". The title of the "songs" these sample lyrics are lifted from are "Mack the Knife", "Drinking Again", Lady is a Tramp", and "I love my wife". I cannot imagine the corrosive effect these lyrics will have on the generation growing up listening to them. It is enough to cause me to question my libertarian free speech convictions.
Finally, I found a few sparkly bits of carnival flotsam that washed out of the ocean of blog posts on to our beach.
The Maiden rolls out the second edition of the "This is not my Country Carnival" hosted at Hells Handmaiden.
Ken Goldstein, blogger and candidate for Vice President of the United States presents a wide ranging selection of posts at the "Carnival of the Decline of Democracy 2.7" hosted at Random Thoughts.
Kehaar presents the Carnival of the Vanities #238: "Special Events Edition" hosted at Siiflay Hraka.
Laura Young is looking for heroes in "The Carnival of Courage 13" hosted at the The Dragonslayer's guide to life.
I'm not Emeril found some Virginia related posts of interest at "The Virginia Blog Carnival" hosted at I'm Not Emeril.
The beach is clear. One more reminder. Blog articles may be submitted for the next edition of the carnival of divided government using the carnival submission form. Submitted posts must use include the words and/or concept of "divided government" to be considered. Past posts can be found on the blog carnival index page.

Country located in the northeastern corner of South America. Indigenous peoples inhabited Guyana prior to European settlement, and their name for the land, guiana ("land of water"), gave the country its name. Present-day Guyana reflects its British and Dutch colonial past and its reactions to that past. It is the only English-speaking country of South America. Since Guyana gained its independence in 1966, the country's chief economic assets have been its natural resources, mainly its pristine rainforests, sugarcane plantations, rice fields, and bauxite and gold reserves. Despite those riches, Guyana remains one of the poorest countries in South America. Some geographers classify Guyana as a part of the Caribbean region, which they deem to include the West Indies as well as Guyana, Belize, Suriname, and French Guiana on the South American mainland. The capital and chief port of Guyana is Georgetown.
Guyana's populace is mainly of colonial origin, although Indians are scattered throughout the forested interior. The more numerous coastal peoples are chiefly descendants of slaves from Africa and indentured workers from India, who were originally transported to work the coastal sugarcane plantations. Ethnic problems between the last two groups have played a disruptive role in Guyanese society.
FGuyana has been a member of the Commonwealth (an international group made up of the United Kingdom and a number of its former dependencies) since 1970. Politically, however, Guyana moved on a steady course toward communism from the time of independence until the death of the first prime minister, Forbes Burnham, in 1985, after which ties with Western powers were strengthened, and by the 1990s privatization had begun.
Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, by Suriname (along the Courantyne River) to the east, by Brazil to the south and southwest, and by Venezuela to the west. Guyana is involved in territorial disputes with both Suriname and Venezuela that are legacies of colonial rule. Although a United Nations international tribunal settled a long-standing maritime boundary dispute between Guyana and Suriname in 2007, the latter still claims the New River Triangle, a 6,000-square-mile (15,600-square-km) area between two tributaries of the Courantyne River in southern Guyana. The currently recognized border between Suriname and Guyana along the Courantyne is also in contention—Suriname claims sovereignty over the entire river and thus views its west bank as the border, while Guyana claims that the thalweg, or deepest channel of the river, is the boundary. The dispute between Guyana and Venezuela dates from 1895, when the British government claimed ownership of the Essequibo River basin. An 1899 settlement awarded Venezuela part of the area, but in 1962 Venezuela claimed all the territory west of the Essequibo.

From a residential standpoint, it is well known that highly urbanized population centres are home to the majority of immigrants. In 2011, 63% of the immigrant population in Canada was living in one of the country's three largest census metropolitan areas (CMAs): Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver.
The settlement pattern of immigrants in these CMAs has changed in recent years. There is now a greater tendency among newcomers to settle in peripheral municipalities, most often those bordering a central municipality. This phenomenon is referred to as the suburbanization of immigrants.
This suburbanization trend of immigrants changes the context of integration into Canadian society. Traditionally, immigrants being dispersed in the peripheral municipalities was associated with greater integration into the host society. However, living on the outskirts of central municipalities does not necessarily mean that immigrants are more fully integrated than in the past. The outskirts of central municipalities now have a higher proportion of immigrants than before, are relatively heterogeneous in terms of socio-economic status and have a similar urban concentration of the population with an immigrant background (immigrants and second generation populations).
The suburbanization trend of immigration intensified from 2001 to 2011. As a result, settling initially in a central municipality is no longer the predominant settlement pattern of immigrants to Canada.
The Toronto CMA saw the sharpest rise in the proportion of immigrants living in a peripheral municipality (also called the suburbanization rate) from 2001 to 2011. More than half the immigrant population (51%) was living in a municipality peripheral to Toronto in 2011, up 10 percentage points from 2001 (40%). In Montréal, the proportion of immigrants living in a peripheral municipality rose from 27% in 2001 to 33% in 2011. In Vancouver, the suburbanization rate increased from 66% in 2001 to 72% in 2011.
In the Montréal CMA, the percentage of recent immigrants aged 15 and older living in a peripheral municipality increased from 13% in 2001 to 21% in 2011. However, the suburbanization rate of recent immigrants in the Montréal CMA in 2011 was half that of established immigrants (42%), that is, those who settled in Canada more than five years earlier.
In the Toronto CMA, the percentage of recent immigrants living in a peripheral municipality also rose, from 32% in 2001 to 42% in 2011. The percentage of established immigrants also increased by 10 percentage points (from 42% in 2001 to 52% in 2011).
In the Vancouver CMA, suburbanization rates vary little from one group to another (72% for recent immigrants compared with 71% for established immigrants). However, the proportion of recent immigrants living in a peripheral municipality was also up, from 68% in 2001 to 72% in 2011.
Are these new settlement patterns favourable to the social integration of immigrants?
Moving to a new country involves a number of residential changes and social transitions. In addition to moving to a new dwelling and neighbourhood, immigrants and their families redefine their points of reference and put down new social roots. In this regard, family and friendship ties, relationships with neighbours, social participation and community involvement, as well as a sense of belonging to where they live provide important information on the social experiences of immigrants and their second-generation descendants in the environment where they settle.
This study reveals that the concentration at the census tract level in both central and peripheral municipalities is similar. Furthermore, according to the indicators examined, the level of social integration of immigrants is similar for all concentrations.
Regardless of their place of residence, approximately one-third of the population with an immigrant background reported knowing most or all of their neighbours.
In addition, regardless of the type of municipality of residence (central or peripheral) or the proportion that the population with an immigrant background represents in their neighbourhood, a majority of immigrants and their descendants (over 80%) reported feeling a very or somewhat strong sense of belonging to Canada, their province, their city and their local community.
Overall, the sense of belonging to the local community is stronger when immigrants and their descendants are part of a larger local personal network. The same finding applies for relationships with neighbours and participation in social activities.
As such, while the settlement patterns of immigrants follow more diverse courses than in the past, they are not necessarily the factors that encourage or impede social integration.
The results come from a new study, "Settlement patterns and social integration of the population with an immigrant background in Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver metropolitan areas." Based on data from the 2001 and 2006 Canadian censuses and the 2011 National Household Survey, it examines two trends that describe the experience of immigrants in those census metropolitan areas (CMAs) from 2001 to 2011. The first is the increasing suburbanization of immigrants in the three CMAs, while the second looks at the urban concentration of immigrants within the CMAs in 2011 from a centre–periphery perspective.
Using data from the General Social Survey on Social Identity, the study also examines the characteristics of settlement patterns based on certain social integration characteristics of the population with an immigrant background. Some of these characteristics include personal networks, relationships with neighbours, social participation, participation in group activities, and sense of belonging, all of which are analyzed by the type of municipality of residence (centre or periphery of the CMA). As well, the study looks at the degree of concentration in the neighbourhood (census tract) of the population with an immigrant background.
Data on immigration and the ethnocultural characteristics of the Canadian population will be released on October 25, 2017.
A census metropolitan area (CMA) is formed by one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (also known as the core). A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more live in the core. In this study, the boundaries of CMAs and their constituent municipalities are defined according to the 2011 boundaries.
Census subdivision (CSD) is a general term for municipalities (as determined by provincial/territorial legislation) or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes (for example, Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories).
The central municipality (or census subdivision) is the one after which a CMA is named. In this study, the respective central municipalities of the Toronto and Vancouver CMAs are the CSD of Toronto and Vancouver. For the Montréal CMA, the municipalities of Montréal, Montréal-Est, Montréal-Ouest, Westmount, Côte-Saint-Luc, Hampstead and Mont-Royal have been grouped together to form the central municipality for spatial continuity purposes. The term peripheral municipality refers to any non-central municipality (or census subdivision) that is a component of the census metropolitan area (in other sources, these are sometimes called suburban municipalities, surrounding municipalities or suburban rings).
In this release, suburbanization refers to the increasing trend of immigrants settling in certain medium-sized peripheral municipalities.
The suburbanization rate is the percentage of the immigrant population living in a peripheral municipality in the census metropolitan area.
The boundaries of a neighbourhood may vary from a social or analytical perspective. In this study, the term neighbourhood corresponds to a census tract. Census tracts are small, relatively stable areas, usually with a population of between 2,500 and 8,000. They are located within census metropolitan areas and in census agglomerations that have a core population of 50,000 or more.
Recent immigrants are defined as immigrants who received landed immigrant status in the five years preceding the survey (for example, from 2006 to 2011 for the 2011 National Household Survey).
Established immigrants are those who received landed immigrant status in 2005 or earlier, or more generally, immigrants who have lived in the country for more than five years.
The second generation refers to persons born in Canada whose parents are both foreign-born.
The population with an immigrant background comprises recent immigrants, established immigrants and the second generation.
The article "Settlement patterns and social integration of the population with an immigrant background in the Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver metropolitan areas" is now available online (Catalogue number89-657-X).

Cdlc Agreement
Instead, Quebec has its own mutual information exchange agreements with Ontario, Maine, and New York – if you have a license from these locations, your Quebec tickets will be added to your registration. 1) I have to pick up the car in service this week. What are the associated fees? I know there are seizures, storage costs and gas. Do I have to pay to renew my driver`s licence in Quebec? I read online that Quebec has not signed the cdLC agreement and therefore the suspensions will not be transferred. So, if they ask me to pay, can I just leave my licence at home in the worst case and reissue a new one in Quebec as if I had lost it? Under mutual agreements on traffic offences, non-resident drivers are treated as residents if they are arrested for a traffic offence committed in another territory. They also ensure that penalties such as penalties for one`s own driver`s license and the resulting increase in insurance premiums follow the driver home. The general principle of these intergovernmental, interprovincial and/or international pacts is to guarantee the "one licence, one registration" rule. 3) What is the most likely case? I was fast and didn`t do any other dangerous maneuvers. France has concluded an agreement with Spain[1] and Switzerland on the recognition of licence points and suspension and is working on agreements with other countries, in particular the United Kingdom.
1. `Driving ban: agreement between Great Britain and other countries`, Directgov (www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/DrivingInGbOnAForeignLicence/DG_185285). "We are developing affordable housing, home ownership opportunities and helping people who want to start their own micro-business. CdLC has helped us achieve this in a variety of ways over the years and with several projects. Recently, they provided us with services related to the acquisition of another non-profit organization. They also helped us with a variety of aspects such as drafting contracts describing a management service contract, acquisition advice, reviewing a residential rehabilitation contract and purchase contracts. The CDLC has helped make us a stronger, more sustainable and more effective organization for providing affordable housing in Benton County. It`s great to work with the CDLC team because they understand our work at their fingertips, our work is very technical and involves a lot of legal aspects, their understanding of the nature of our work is absolutely crucial.
France has concluded an agreement with Spain[1] and Switzerland on the recognition of license points and the suspension of license points and is working on agreements with other countries, including the United Kingdom. Not everyone knows cdlc. This is an agreement reached in 1990. It included many provinces and territories. Some would not opt for the agreement. These were Quebec, Nunavut and British Columbia. The agreement stipulated that all provinces and territories would share information. As these are Quebec records, they did not opt for the CDLC okay. This is not to say that a ticket in Quebec will not be recognized in Ontario. Ontario and Quebec have entered into their sharing agreements. Basically, there is the division of all traffic offences.
Because they take place in both provinces. In addition, pick-up points apply to both provinces. 1. `Driving ban: agreement between Great Britain and other countries`, Directgov (www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/DrivingInGbOnAForeignLicence/DG_185285). Quebec has not signed the Canadian Driver`s Licence Pact (CSDC), a 1990 agreement to share driving records among provinces and territories, including Nova Scotia. 2. "Disqualified riders covered by international agreements", Northern Ireland Executive (www.northernireland.gov.uk/index/media-centre/news-departments/news-doe/news-doe-june-2008/news-doe-260608-disqualified-drivers-targeted.htm). Under reciprocal traffic violation agreements, non-resident drivers are treated as residents if they are arrested for a traffic violation occurring in another jurisdiction. They also ensure that penalties such as penalty points on the driver`s license and the resulting increase in insurance premiums follow the driver`s home. The general principle of these intergovernmental, interprovincial and/or international pacts is to guarantee the "one licence, one registration" rule. 2. `Disqualified drivers covered by an international agreement`, Northern Ireland Executive (www.northernireland.gov.uk/index/media-centre/news-departments/news-doe/news-doe-june-2008/news-doe-260608-disqualified-drivers-targeted.htm).
"Saskatchewan belongs to [the CDLC] where the guiding principle is a driver, a driver`s licence and a driver`s record," Tyler McMurchy, spokesman for Saskatchewan government insurance, said in an email. "This agreement promotes road safety by treating similar convictions and administrative penalties that have occurred in a province as if they had occurred in the driver`s home province." The Canadian Driver`s Licence Pact (CSDC) is a 1990 agreement on the exchange of driving records between provinces and territories. Outside of the CDLC, some provinces have their own agreements with U.S. states. Ontario has agreements with New York and Michigan, while Quebec has agreements with Maine and New York. Quebec and Ontario have their own record-sharing agreement, which means that all crimes – and inconveniences – are divided between the two provinces. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, only the inconveniences of certain out-of-province offences – including speeding, failure to obey a stop sign or signal, and not stopping for a school bus – will be added to your Ontario licence. Rocksmith 2014 Remastered Player`s Arena, please keep it clean! Provinces also have the option to go through the Canada Revenue Agency and collect the amount of GST and income tax refunds, McMurchy said. But in most other provinces, out-of-home offences are added to your driving record, as if they had occurred at home. All I see are the songs that have been downloaded the most. Is there a way to only see the new songs? Northern Ireland`s driver registration system has mutual recognition of driving bans with the system in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.2 "At Hacienda CDC, our main goal is to develop affordable housing for people who earn less than 60% of the region`s average.
We have an extensive community building program, resident services, after-school programs and we offer home ownership education. CdLC has helped us in many ways, from rewriting articles and articles of association, to personnel and employment advice, to asset management training. Their training programs are very good, very practical and are a great way to learn solutions to project problems and create sustainability. CDLC is a great benefit to the community by helping community development corporations, everyone is more stable and has a much better understanding of what they are doing. The staff is fantastic, I can call them and they will answer you and help you with anything or find someone who can. I learned about CDLC as a law student who worked and studied at the clinic, which included working for Hacienda. It was a great experience and gave me valuable hands-on experience that I still use today. The highway was empty.
Has anyone experienced something like this and what was the result? I know it depends on the judge, but I`m sure there are more likely trends and outcomes when it comes to situations like mine, because I`m sure they are reasonably priced. "Thanks to the laser technology we have, the operator can capture multiple targets," says Daniel Thibaudeau, spokesperson for SQ. "You can be slower than the person in front of you and you always have a ticket." These Quebec distances should not remind you of your return to Nova Scotia, said Quebec`s provincial insurer. Again, I do not know if you will have an opportunity to speak to the prosecutor before you are appointed, but see if that is an option. lmgtfy.com/?q=demerit+points+from+a+ticket+issued+in+BC+are+transferred+to+Alberta%3F, your ticket will most likely land on your driving history. This also includes disadvantages. Demerits are strikes against your driving record – if you get too much, your driver`s license will be suspended. The rules for applying disadvantages outside the province vary by province. Added an additional goal on January 1 to support additional renewals plus the Patreon difference Note that the rules in this section still apply.
In British Columbia, this means that out-of-province drivers will not get B.C tickets added to their driving record – and vice versa. "If a B.C driver outside of our province received a ticket – for example, a speeding ticket – they would not be added to their B.C ticket," Olsen said. "In Ontario, MTO does not have the power to force the driver to pay a ticket outside the province," said Brian Smiley, a spokesman for Manitoba Public Insurance Company. "If the driver returns to Manitoba, Manitoba does not have the authority to suspend the driver outside the province, but the driver could be arrested by the police." 3. . . .

Food to go: here to stay
A pivotal year saw drastic drops in food-to-go sales but also a massive uptake in food-to-go products consumed in different circumstances and in different pack sizes.
By NewsDesk -
Food to go and vending services at One Stop store in Coity, Bridgend
Four years ago food to go (FTG) was hardly a category. Then it was bacon rolls. Now, it is almost as if the convenience sector is eyeing up the entire, rich panoply of foodservice as new territory of its own.
These days, after all, what is FTG? Is it still only heated, rolls and salad bowls? Is it a whole meal deal or can it be a quick snack? Is it soft drinks as well as coffee and tea? How about RTDs and fresh cocktails? What about cakes and pastries? Protein and choc bars, cookies? And how about ice cream? How do we define the elements that go into an on-the-go meal solution and how does it differ from a shopper's traditional basket?
It matters insofar as you need to know the best products to make and stock, how to range and display them, and how to merchandise them. Apart from those constraints, anything goes: it's a rapidly evolving category.
What's clear is that the upheavals of the pandemic and lockdown have changed perceptions of what FTG is and how it should be sold in response to suddenly-changed habits and consumer demands.
"As shoppers spent more time of their time at home, on-the-go occasions featured less in shoppers' lives, causing a decrease in sales of single-serve products," says Guy Harvey, Impulse Category Management Controller, PepsiCo. "However, this has been replaced by an increase in sharing and multi-packs sales."
Whatever the answer, the category appears invigorated and ready for the return to normality, so what exactly awaits FTG as the economy reopens?
Of course it's impossible to predict the future, but the future is always shadowed in the present, so we can at least take directional bearings; and having consulted the experts, a very interesting picture is emerging, alongside a good measure of broad agreement.
"Over the past few years FTG has been one of the fastest-growing categories in the independent channel, with great margins but risks of wastage for beginners," says Laura Trivulzio, Marketing Director, Peperami & Jack Link's. "During the pandemic and lockdown FTG sales have suffered but will doubtless return to trend during 2021.
In fact, the experts over at Lumina research inform us that the UK FTG market will grow +32% this year, taking it to a £15.3bn. That is still only 72% of its 2019 market value, because the pandemic and lockdown have has a catastrophic effect on the town-centre part of the FTG trade that relied on commuter footfall.
The Covid-19 effect was so incredibly bad that overall, FTG suffered a mind-bending -45.5% decline in 2020, but the numbers lie about the countrywide experience, because beyond the business centres, it has been a watershed year for convenience FTG. Indeed, Lumina is optimistic enough to predict revenue of £22.6bn by 2024, more than £1bn more than the pre-pandemic height of £21bn.
For the sort of collapse in sales experienced by commuter-led FTG, the slack must have been more than made up for by sales elsewhere – and so it was, as homebound workers began using local shops for groceries much more, and then as café and restaurant substitutes while that sector was closed down; and then eventually just as an excuse to get out of the house and to buy rather than make (yetagain) a coffee, snack or meal at home.
"This rapid market revolution has seen foodservice and food-to-go specialists heavily impacted by lockdown rules, with the grocery market and independent retailers being able to recover more quickly as consumers spend with them for both "eat now" and "eat later" meal occasions," says Mike Holton, brand manager at Wall's Pastry and Pork Farms."As the UK prepares for lockdown restrictions to slowly ease, a trend that is likely to continue is the shift to working from home, this will continue to impact the number of out-of-home food-to-go purchases."
Now consumers are used to doing this, goes the theory, they will carry on doing this – not least because warmer weather is on the way: Katherine Prowse, Insight Manager at Lumina Intelligence predicts that over the next few months as social restrictions are eased, "food to go is well placed to capitalise on the outdoor socialising occasion: 21% of consumers say they are likely to purchase food to-go and eat it in a park in the future and this figure rises to 38% for 18-24's."
"The evolution of customers' shopping habits – particularly over the past 12 months – has had a prolific effect on the convenience retail market," says John Miller, Head of Franchiseat One Stop. "Retailers have benefited from increased visits where FTG crosses over with other shopping missions."
He points to Ratheesan Vinayagmoorthy, who runs seven One Stop stores, and in his Chiltern Avenue, Bedford shop has seen a marked change in customer demand. With many food and drink establishments being closed due to lockdown restrictions, Rathee has seen roaring FTGsales.
"We brought into this store a number of providers including Costa Coffee, Tango Ice Blast, Rollover Hotdogs, Fwip Ice cream and F'Real Milkshakes which have all proved to be really popular," says Ratheesan."We get people travelling a long way to come and see us and the children really seem to love the F'Real Milkshakes. It's a treat for them and that brings their parents into store and they naturally go onto purchase more, especially with the strong promotions we have to offer."
If FTG can make your shop a destination store, then it has to be worthwhile to invest in some of the "fairground attractions" that Ratheesan mentions.
Drink and go
If the pattern of work really has changed permanently – and with 34% of consumers now planning to continue to work from home, it very much looks that way – then the whole "coffee-to-go" Pret, Costa (the nation's favourite drink-only brand, representing 23% of all visits) and Starbucks operation will likely see a significant shift.This will mean a change from sit-down cafes – and how many actually queued to sit down there rather than popped in to collect a cup to go? – to machines in neighbourhood c-stores. In fact, it seems to be already happening, with companies such as Nescafe planning to take big advantage of it with their bean-to-cup machines.We are simply drinking more coffee (and now tea – the first machines are arriving!) as a way to get out of the house.
Coffee has "dominated" FTG lately, making up half of all drinks consumed over the past four months, according to Lumina, who say it is mainly younger consumers "on coffee walks", with almost one in four having picked up the habit of purchasing a hot drink to go "when on a walk with a friend" since March 2020.
The big trend now is for great beverage dispensing machines, and Charlotte Smith, Category Manage, Coffee-to-go, Nestlé Professional UK & Ireland, says "It's essential to assess your customer base and work out which coffee solution fits their needs."
She says the NESCAFÉ &GO Machine is quick and easy and uses a pre-filled cup solution perfect for up to up to 15 cups per day. "Alternatively, the NESCAFÉ Mini Bean to Cup Coffee Machine offers customers a fresh bean coffee-shop style experience – from espresso and Americano, to lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolate."
As consumers come to rely more on their local shops, it's worth noting that almost a quarter (23%) of people said they would consider purchasing coffee-to-go to take away from their local independent convenience store. "There is a huge opportunity for convenience retailers to fulfil the needs of local shoppers by offering a quality coffee option," says Smith. "Whether you cater for 'grab-and-go' customers or locals looking for a coffee-shop style experience, there is a coffee machine solution to suit your needs."
High-tech machines such as the Lavazza Fresh Milk To Go or Lavazza Lusso solutions (from Expresso Plus) can also be used to cross-sell and up-sell meal deals through on-screen advertisements. The media screen interfaces display customisable images and videos when making drink selections. From a retailer's perspective this is a great investment and opportunity to exploit breakfast and lunchtime trade opportunities.
"Numerous lockdowns have not slowed Brits craving a cuppa," says Charlotte Duhaney, Marketing Manager for eXpresso PLUS. "We have seen some of our largest clients achieve an increase in Coffee2Go sales during the past few months. And with the majority of eXpresso PLUS machines available on lease that means retailers keep all their profit, creating an additional healthy revenue stream.
Espresso PLUSare now introducing an easy-clean system PG Tips To Go machine to dispense tea to tea-obsessed Brits. So far it has all been coffee – which suits the youthful, urban, commuter vibe. But remember the older demographic out there that shops at convenience disproportionately more than other channels, and they like a nice cuppa and a chat. And not just the older generation, apparently.
The new Lavazza Fresh Milk To Go solution also brews organic Pukka herbal tea in a variety of flavours, "and with 24-35 years olds being the largest growing group of tea drinkers in the UK, accounting for 50% of tea drinkers it's perfect for attracting the millennial market," says Duhaney.
And in addition to hot cup of coffee of tea, there is now an incredibly popular new trend for RTD cold coffees, as Arla's Head of Beverages, Adam Hacking pints out: "Chilled Coffee continues to drive category growth and is now worth £161m, growing at 17.1%. Worth £80.1m and growing at 25.5%, Starbucks is now the biggest iced coffee brand , responsible for 50% of all iced coffee sales.
He says that with RTD coffee predicted to grow at a minimum 15% CAGR until 2024, it is one of the most lively sub-categories within Soft Drinks. "As such, Starbucks recommends that retailers stock a range of different ready-to-drink products from recognisable brands, in order to appeal to different consumers looking for on-the-go options throughout the day. For example, popular with Gen Z, the Starbucks Frappuccino range has experienced the highest level of growth 53.8%. In addition, retailers should consider stocking a range of formats, including multipacks for consumers stocking up to enjoy at home."
And there is a trend for intensity. In 2020, the brand introduced its Doubleshot: Doubleshot Intenso Black and Doubleshot Intenso Dark with a splash of milk, to cater for customers' turbo-charged, chilled caffeine needs.
Ans since FTG can be anything now – don't forget the energy drinks which can make a perfect accompaniment to an FTG outing. Mark Tanner, Head of Wholesale and Independents at Carabao Energy Drink UK&I, says that "With the increased pressure that the pandemic has put on consumer finances, it is no surprise that value has also emerged as a key consumer trend. Carabao's 'Only 69p' cans give shoppers that instant reassurance they're picking up a great product at an attractive price."
Likewise, Matt Gouldsmith, Channel Director, Wholesale, Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I, recommends positioning Lucozade within the FTG area for extra sales: "Despite consumers continuing to spend more time at home, retailers can drive food to go sales by clearly promoting and signposting their meal deal offers in store for those shoppers on an on-the-go mission,"he says.We've seen strong growth of 12.5% in Lucozade Energy's drink-later portfolio, including 1L bottles and multipacks,"
Food when you need it
Vast new territories have opened up for FTG, even if it took a hit in 2020. Social changes are in the process of creating a new and as-yet unformed market. At the same time, earlier, established patterns of consumption will re-emerge as part of the new FTG lansdscape as a hybrid development.
"The shift to working from home presents an opportunity for manufacturers and independent retailers to adapt their food-to-go offering in a bid to lure consumers back during their lunch break," says Walls's Mike Holton. "These should include healthier trending foods such as wraps, salads and sushi, as well as hot options which can be consumed both in and out of the home." He recommends both the Wall's and Pork Farms brandsas ideally positioned to support this opportunity.
Pastry competitor Ginsters, meanwhile, is innovating with NPD that add cross-category excitement to the FTG experience. Its latest is Ginsters and Guinness – have joined forces in an exciting collaboration to launch a brand-new Ginsters Smoky Steak & Guinness Slice, which follows on from Ginsters' 2020 partnership with Quorn, to launch the Vegan Peppered Steak Slice and the Ginsters' Vegan Quorn Sausage Roll.
"We're all looking for more excitement at the moment and lunch has become even more important in our day," says Sam Mitchell, Ginsters' Managing Director."We know consumers are up for trying new things and looking for recipes with a difference. It's our job to keep the category fresh and bring flavour-driven innovations to the aisle for shoppers. "
Laura Trivulzio, Marketing Director, Peperami & Jack Link's, notes that shoppers are opting for snacks not just great in taste and high in quality, but are more inclined to purchase brands they trust and are familiar with, adding that with the rise of the on-the-go healthy snacking category, the meat snacking category has grown +33% vs two years ago, with one in four UK households purchasing a meat snack.
"As such," she comments,"Peperami has witnessed repeat purchases from consumers who are loyal purchasers of the brand, following the brand's journey over the years, and identifying with its long-standing heritage. This is due to the convenience, taste and quality credentials of meat snacks, which have become key drivers for the food-to-go category."
Products such as Peperami, high in protein, are increasingly in demand by health-conscious consumers, not all of whom by any means are vegans – so don't go light on the meat!
The versatility of meat snacks, means products such as Peperami's 100% pork salami sticks and range of Chicken Bites made with 100% chicken breast can be enjoyed either as an afternoon snack on the go, or added into wraps or healthy salads, for the ideal picnic staple to share amongst friends and family," adds Trivulzio.
The same goes for Kepak, whose Rustlers brand has been doing extremely well by exploiting the hot snack niche and selling burgers by the thousands (literally two every second, according to Monisha Singh, Shopper Marketing Manager at Kepak Consumer Foods) – helped by the bespoke, branded Rustlers in-store microwaves which are rolling out now.
"It is more than just equipment," says Ross Davison, Convenience Controller at Kepak Consumer Foods."We will be providing a full FTG solution. We'll work with each retailer on range recommendations and category advice, plus we'll provide a dedicated POS kit and installation as part of each package," says Ross Davison, Convenience Controller at Kepak Consumer Foods.
"From a small microwave up to a larger-scale multi-station unit, Rustlers' in-store cooking solutions are proven to boost sales whilst removing any concerns over waste and the additional labour costs associated with food to go counters. Shoppers simply select, purchase and heat the Rustlers product in store, meaning there is no risk of hot products going to waste."
The ovens are already having a marked positive effect on FTG sales. Miv Chahal of Nisa Local, Prudhoe, testifies how "I saw the potential for offering hot food and so bought a Rustlers microwave, which I've sited next to a coffee machine, and it increased sales of Rustlers by about 20%. It shows how many people want hot food that they can eat straightaway, and we don't need to incur costs or meet the many regulations associated with a hot food counter."
Tradition British grub is walking out the door, too. Helen Bowyer, commercial director, Wrights Food Group, which has been making homemade meat & potato pies since 1926, says that, "We have seen a rise in demand for wrapped savoury products in stores and forecourts where retailers want visibly appealing products which give consumers confidence around fresh food hygiene. Our wrapped product sales have increased, notably, since March 2020 and include favourites such as steak pies, a chicken curry slice and a cheese and onion slice."
In the first quarter of 2021 Wrights continued to see big demand for products such as vegan sausage rolls, chicken and mushroom pies and sausage rolls which are baked onsite from frozen. "This brings the retailer the added value of the theatre of that freshly-baked instore bakery experience and maximises the reported increase in top-up shops driving shoppers to convenience stores," advises Bowyer.
And heatable soups and noodles – such as Symington's, whose brands include Mug Shot, Naked and Blooming Good Food Co., are also increasingly popular, according to Marketing Director Kevin Butterworth.
"The popularity of On The Hob (OTH) and Standard Add Water products have contributed significantly to the accelerated growth within instant hot snacks. Our Naked Five-Minute Noodles on the hob format provides consumers with a quick and convenient way to access authentic Asian flavours for an evening meal for two and can also be enjoyed as a snack."
In fact "World FTG" is way up as customers increasingly use c-stores as restaurant substitutes – so be adventurous – not forgetting that a great part of the FTG traffic is going to be breakfasts, lunches and snacks of the kind that use well-loved and tasty products such as cheese as an element of the meal as things get back to normal after the pandemic
"The overall market dynamic has made for a challenging year for our Cathedral City Adult Snacking range, which includes a number of leading grab-and-go solutions," says Anca Lazar, Senior Brand Manager for Cathedral City Snacking."With easing of lockdown measures we will however observe shoots of recovery for our Cathedral City grab and go snacks, with rate of sale climbing back towards pre-lockdown levels." She notes that the category is in fact already back in convenience, with for example the Cathedral City Lunchpack achieving 3% value (+1% volume) growth year on year by this February (IRI).
Spreadable products such as Dairylea, too, saw strong progress in 2020, and will move to under 100 Kcals in 2021, says Susan Nash, Trade Communications Manager at Mondelēz International."The brand's tasty triangles are already 33kcals per triangle. Made with milk and cheese, it provides the perfect snack for shoppers looking for portion control for their families."
Rounding off with a treat
What is usually treated under snacks, confectionery and bakery is also perfectly cromulent as FTG fare – now more than ever as retailers' offers and combinations soar in variety and innovation as the category grows and develops.
Meal deals and other promotions and offers typically include a bagged snack, and that's another great way to make more sales in the category, of course. To that can be added protein and health bars – an acceptable dessert option for the on-the-go FTG-er, just as could easily be a sweet pastry or cookie/biscuit treat.
Mondelēz broke the mould with belVita, revolutionising breakfast "mobility", and Nash says that "belVita and Cadbury Brunch Bar are ideal for consumers seeking more functional attributes and looking for treats that help keep them going. belVita is the number one breakfast biscuit and gives consumers energy for the whole morning through its five wholegrains."
The snack bar sector is exploding right now, and Cadbury Brunch Bar Choc Chip is the number one SKU in the segment, growing at 11.9% and with value sales of £17.3M.
Adrienne Burke, Marketing Manager, Snacking at General Mills, explain the health bar popularity partly as a function of the pandemic, and says that the Diet Management category has grown by +2% (now valued at £106m), "as an increased focus on health and limited movement due to lockdown caused shoppers to worry about weight gain."
General Mills's Fibre One has reached £39million and is he fastest growing snack bar in the Weight Management category, following a recipe revamp to contain thirty percent less sugar, with sales value up +18.4%. "In the cereal bar space," says Burke,"our range from Nature Valley, now a £56million brand, meets a variety of need states – from nutrient-packed Nature Valley Protein to the more indulgent '9pm sofa moment' with Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Nut" – for when FTG ends up at home in front of the TV. She also points out that demand for gluten and dairy-free options is increasing, so retailers who such bars, like LÄRABAR (a new General Mills acquisition), "are winning big".
Of course, many customers still want the sweetness of a deeply satisfying snack, or the rich freshly-baked flavours of high-quality pastry. If that's the case then Paul Baker, founder of St Pierre Groupe, is your man. "The St Pierre range, which comprises Butter Croissants, Chocolate Filled Croissants, Brioche Waffle, Millionaires Waffle, Pain au Chocolat and Caramel Waffles, is perfectly positioned to be enjoyed with a hot drink," he advises."It also provides attractive margins for retailers, meaning it can work effectively as part of or alongside a hot drink fixture. The fresh, individually-wrapped bakery products can be consumed with any meal occasion, providing a strong sales opportunity for retailers looking to cater to those working from home throughout the day. The items are also ambient, resulting in no thawing time and have the added benefit of an extended shelf-life, which helps to reduce the risk of wastage in-store." An essential ingredient of the wise retailer's FTG offer, as is Rich Bakery's new range – Baked.
"People are still looking to treat themselves and break-up the monotony of at home meals – this presents a big opportunity to offer delicious, stand-out on the go products that will draw back shoppers week after week," says John Want, Sales, Marketing and R&D Director at Rich's. Baked originally launched in 875 One Stop stores with two cookie products: White Chocolate and the top- Triple Chocolate. The brand has recently extended its partnership CJ Lang (only in Scotland, alas!) with a muffin-rich range that also includesBelgian buns and Cinnamon buns
In a sense crisps and porkscratchings are the original FTG – simple, bagged, satisfying and fill a hole when you need it. Now, as an
Element of an FTG experience, they are again coming into their own.
Matt Collins, Trading Director at KP Snackssays they are a huge opportunity for retailers to drive sales: "The most important factors influencing shoppers to purchase crisps and snacks for the Food to Go occasion are price at 85%, brand at 77% and pack size at 72%. Therefore, it's essential for retailers to stock the best-selling brands, such and McCoy's and Hula Hoops in a variety of sizes and price points." He especially recommends as Must Stock the McCoy's brand and the hot item of the moment (because chili!) McCoy's Fire Pit, which Smith says takes ordinary BBQ flavours to the next level "with three sizzling flavours including Flame Roasted Peri Peri, Flame Smoked Chorizo, and Flame Scorched BBQ Ribs."
Peposico's Guy Harvey FTG recommendation is for Walkers Classic Variety and Quavers Cheese 6-packs – and of course the Walkers MAX range including Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Double Crunch Zinger. He adds that new larger Doritos and Walkers Sensations sharing bags will also launch with an RRP of £2, with pack size having increased in size by 20g. The £2 PMPs will be available across 3 products; Doritos Chilli Heatwave, Tangy Cheese and Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli, offering better value than the existing 65g bags.
For larger stores, the recent HERO 25 and DRIVE 25 ranges include bestsellers that make up 35% of crisp and snacks sales , "making sure it will capture shopper interest when looking for snacks on the move," Harvey concludes, and Tayto Group's 's Marketing Director, Matt Smith, reminds us that pork scratchings is the fastest growing category (+10.1%) in snacks – although he also points out that "We have seen very strong growth in our Fun Snacks range,inclucing Tangy Toms, Spicy Bikers, Awesome Oinks and Quarterbacks, as 30p PMPs have been growing faster than the market (82.8% vs 6.4%." Meanhile, Tayto's Ringos and Transform-A-Snack continue to be top performers in the £1 sector "as they deliver Golden Wonder's legendary 'punch per crunch', great branded value, as well as strong margins for retailers."

Very good location. Handsome people.
The best hotel run by great staff.
No tea/coffee making facility in the rooms but a free pre-made coffee service from thermos available in reception. No evening restaurant available on site. nearest option was the Lorry Park Burger King. OK if you like burgers etc. If more time available I would have investigated town of Lauenau for restaurants.
Would be nice to have a kettle in the room. Also some English channels would be handy on TV, but we don't mind. We are happy overall and will continue to use the hotel.
Bathroom need some maintenance but it just a little issues like loose shower head holder etc, nothing that could spoil the good night rest. There is a bit of the noise from trucks passing from a near by truck depot but again it just a little hiccup.
Breakfast was not included. Dirty carpet in the rooms.
Used this hotel as a stopover on a drive from Channel ports through Germany. Convenient location, comfortable and very good breakfast served.

Call to boost Fylde coast skills and tackle unemployment
MP Gordon Marsden at his office in South Shore.
Published: 09:57 Friday 17 February 2017
A Blackpool MP has blasted the Government over 'stagnation' in the employment market locally and for not putting enough resources into boosting workers' skills.
Labour's Blackpool South MP Gordon Marsden, reacting to the latest unemployment figures from the Office for National Statistics, said while the national picture appeared better, the local picture was one of poorly paid, low hours jobs, leaving people with little opportunity for training to improve their income.
He said this was a major blow to the local economy as people did not have enough spare cash to put back by spending locally.
He added that the news yesterday that relatively well-paid civil service jobs at Norcross were threatened would make things worse.
He said the claimant count figures, which showed a slight increase on January last year, masked the true picture.
He said: "Figures from the Houses of Parliament show the number of people claiming this year is nine per cent higher than last year. Blackpool's unemployment rate for 16 to 64-year-olds is 6.3 per cent. That is two and a half times the UK average of 2.4 per cent.
"For young people there has been no improvement. Six per cent of the active youth population are unemployed compared to 3.3 per cent for the North West and 2.7 per cent for the country as a whole. That is again nearly two and a half times the national rate.
"The government is failing to tackle the underlying weaknesses. It is still not investing enough in decent apprenticeships and adult training.
"We have too many people on zero hours and low hours contracts.
"Those people can't progress to better jobs and as a result can't contribute more to the local economy. They are not been given the opportunity to up-skill.
"The Government is putting all its eggs into the apprenticeships basket and neglecting adult training. It has cut adult skills funding by 20 to 30 per cent.
"The Government is planning to cut 400 civil service jobs in Blackpool at Tomlinson House by 2022. These are good middle range jobs for Blackpool and the Fylde, which contribute to our economy."
But Paul Maynard, Conservative MP for Blackpool North and Cleveleys said: "Nationally we see a very good picture with unemployment falling and employment rising, despite the warning that Brexit would see immediate job losses.
Cuadrilla's bid to carry on at longstanding Fylde gas well
"Locally the picture is more stable. Government investment like the £25m for the new conference centre will create jobs in time as will the two enterprise zones as they come on-stream.
"However, the challenge is providing local people with the skills and training required to make use of the opportunities that are coming forward.
"On May 19 this year I will be hosting my first jobs and skills fair in order to inspire and inform our young people and job seekers in just what is available to do in the world of work."

Q: Extract substring between startsequence and endsequence in C# using LINQ I have an XML instance that contains processing instructions. I want a specific one (the schematron declaration):
<?xml-model href="../../a/b/c.sch" schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"?>

There may or may not be more than these very processing instructions present, so I can't rely on its position in the DOM; it is guaranteed, on the other hand, that there will be only one (or none) such Schematron file reference. Thus, I get it like so:
XProcessingInstruction p = d.Nodes().OfType<XProcessingInstruction>()
   .Where(x => x.Target.Equals("xml-model") &&
    x.Data.Contains("schematypens=\"http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron\""))
   .FirstOrDefault();

In the example given, the content of p.Data is the string
href="../../a/b/c.sch" schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"

I need to extract the path specified via @href (i. e. in this example I would want the string ../../a/b/c.sch) without double quotes. In other words: I need the substring after href=" and before the next ". I'm trying to achieve my goal with LINQ:
var a = p.Data.Split(' ').Where(s => s.StartsWith("href=\""))
       .Select(s => s.Substring("href=\"".Length))
       .Select(s => s.TakeWhile(c => c != '"'));

I would have thought this gave me a IEnumerable<char> which I could then convert to a string in one of the ways described here, but that's not the case: According to LINQPad, I seem to be getting a IEnumerabale<IEnumerable<char>> which I can't manage to make into a string.
How could this be done correctly using LINQ? Maybe I'd better be using Regex within LINQ?

Edit: After typing this down, I came up with a working solution, but it seems very inelegant:
string a = new string
   (
      p.Data.Substring(p.Data.IndexOf("href=\"") + "href=\"".Length)
      .TakeWhile(c => c != '"').ToArray()
   );

What would be a better way?

A: Try this:
var input = @"<?xml-model href=""../../a/b/c.sch"" schematypens=""http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron""?>";
var match = Regex.Match(input, @"href=""(.*?)""");
var url = match.Groups[1].Value;

That gives me ../../a/b/c.sch in url.
Please don't use Regex for general XML parsing, but for this situation it's fine.

Source Code of Windows XP, Server 2003 Allegedly Leaked
Someone has leaked what appear to be source code files for the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems
The files were leaked on the image-based bulletin board 4chan and they can be downloaded both from file hosting websites and via torrents. There are tens of gigabytes of files and they also seem to include source code for older Microsoft operating systems (MS-DOS, Windows NT, Windows CE, Windows 2000), previously leaked files related to Xbox, and Bill Gates conspiracy theories.
One individual claimed on 4chan that these files have been "going around privately for many years now."
The source code files for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 appear to have been made public for the first time. Several people say the code looks legitimate and one infosec enthusiast pointed out that the leaked Windows XP code seems to be for the SP1 version.
Both Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 reached end of life and end of support years ago. However, according to some recent data, Windows XP is still running on roughly one percent of computers worldwide, which translates to tens of millions of PCs.
From a security perspective, while the Windows XP source code could be useful for finding some new vulnerabilities in the operating system, threat actors have plenty of existing exploits to choose from if they want to target devices running Windows XP.
Some pointed out, however, that parts of the code in Windows XP likely also made it into Windows 10, which could have more serious implications.
On the other hand, the source code of Windows operating systems is not a closely guarded secret, as some pointed out. Microsoft has been giving access to Windows source code to plenty of entities, particularly for transparency purposes. It's also worth noting that some Windows 10 source code was also leaked online a few years ago.
Nevertheless, some individuals already claim to have found "interesting stuff" in the leaked files.
SecurityWeek has reached out to Microsoft for comment and will update this article if the company responds.

annually on September 18th (since 2009)
Futures Without Violence (formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund)
#NationalRespectDay

https://www.wikidates.org/wwholidays/national-respect-day-2018.html
In September of 2008, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (now Futures Without Violence) partnered with Macy's for the first National RESPECT! Day. Teaching respect and raising awareness about domestic and dating violence was done with the goal of ending violence against women and children. During the first year, rallies took place on college campuses and Macy's stores, and social media and cell phones were utilized to mobilize a new generation of people about the issues.
Domestic violence affects one in three women around the world, and close to one in four women in the United States have experienced violence at the hands of a current or former partner. Millions of children in the United States live in families where partner violence has occurred. After the first National RESPECT! Day, Futures Without Violence and Macy's has continued with the RESPECT! Campaign, teaching young people about respect in relationships, in order to combat domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. Although National RESPECT! Day is specific to these issues, it has since been celebrated more generally, promoting all kinds of respect.
How to Observe National Respect Day
Celebrate the day by becoming involved to promote respect and prevent violence. Futures Without Violence has started numerous programs with those goals. Teens can join the That's Not Cool campaign, while coaches can get involved with Coaching Boys Into Men. Those in college can educate themselves about sexual assaults on campuses, and consider becoming involved in the Campus Leadership Program. Adults can have conversations with young people about domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and cyberbullying. Watching a film such as Audrie & Daisy and following it up with a discussion may be a good way to start. You could also donate to Futures Without Violence in order to support their work. If you yourself are a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, please reach out to get help.

Meteorological Institute issued on Saturday. Daytime highs over the next four weeks are expected to range between minus one and four degrees Celsius. Precipitation should also be average for the time of year.


Found what I thought was the ADLG Board but couldn't post a new topic. I'm looking to invest in a new ADLG Army and was considering Swiss or Scotts with Pikemen. My playing style is to charge and (hopefully) crush people. All suggestions welcome!
Sorry for the double post. Bug is back!
Swiss are rock hard to the front but very small The Scots pike army is popular and effective. Mediocre pike are possibly the most points effective thing in the game.
Madaxeman dot com is the closest I have found for sample lists and recommendations.
There is a facebook page that is quite active.
You will need to join the forum in order to post there.
Yeah, Swiss or Scots is basically asking if you want a small army of Elite Pikes, or a large army of Mediocre pikes.
Friend of mine plays Swiss with Lorrainer knights as a small flanking command, and it seems to serve him well enough.

A word from Carol Schumacher, Board member with The Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases
"I am so pleased to be the first member of Annette's 100! I have a special relationship with BNAC and The Funicello Research Fund. And I am a person with MS."
"The Funicello Research Fund's mission is to support clinical studies seeking the cause of MS and therapies that show promise of reversing the symptoms. Annette Funicello first noticed her MS symptoms in 1987 when she was making the movie 'Back to the Beach.' As her MS progressed, Annette decided to go public with her condition and commit herself to helping others. BNAC's work and this study are perfectly aligned with her commitment. I hope you can join me in making a gift or becoming one of Annette's 100."
