The top solar panels manufacturer, Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) is under risky conditions. As its names suggests, it is a Canadian company but it is marketing its products in China. The company has the most mistaken identity as it is part Chinese and part Canadian. Almost all of the resources are provided by the Chinese government for the development of the products.
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) depends on the solar projects for its profits and income. Last year in Q4, the company earned more than C$311 million by selling 50 megawatts of large scale grid connected photovoltaic generation. Power purchase agreements were signed by the headquarters in Ontario for high scope projects and schemes.
Solar market can be analyzed according to the "go to market" research report which confirms that last, year the price of utility scale systems was $1.83 per watt in Q4. The promising business can be generated from projects in the Canadian market. Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) had 310.7 mega watt of project arrears in the closing stages of 2013, and were decreased to 127 megawatts in 2014.
This information was mentioned in the backlog of 2013. It is expected that all of the company's earnings would be dramatically reduced as high margin projects would diminish this year in December. The solar power generation systems of Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) are distinguished in the global markets of Japan, Germany, India and China.
Even then, the company has not invested much in the field of research. Other notable companies are making new calculations and products by spending more time and energy on fact-finding and research. Last year, the company's expenditures on research and development were merely $12.1 million. Chinese solar power products suppliers, Trina Solar limited (NYSE:TSL) and Yingli Green Energy (NYSE:YGE), have adopted the strategy to take credits on short term basis to make use of the proper tools to enhance the competence of their solar systems.
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) is unable to introduce more efficient solar panel into the market while its competitors like SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) produce 21.5% more efficient panels that are of advanced quality. Last year, First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) invested $144 million in research and development while SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) invested $73.3 million.
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) invested $12.1 million in research and latest technology which is a very small sum for such a big business.
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) has established manufacturing plants by taking short term loans from the banks in China. Around $725 million short term borrowings were reported last year. The balance sheet is not impressive and it is a threat that company would be washed-out of its resources soon.
Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) has Chinese employees and relies heavily upon Chinese banks for financial support. It has turned out to be more of a Chinese company and so its shares are at the brink of disaster. The recent price to earnings ratio is 8 and in the future it is anticipated that shares will be costly.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The past few decades have seen the rise of global incentive programs offering payments to landowners to help reduce tropical deforestation. Until now, assessments of these programs have largely overlooked decreases in forest diversity. In what might be a first of its kind study, University of Missouri researchers have integrated forest imaging with field-level inventories and landowner surveys to assess the impact of conservation payments in Ecuador's Amazon Basin forests. They found that conservation payment programs are making a difference in the diversity of tree species in protected spaces. Further, the species being protected are twice as likely to be of commercial timber value and at risk of extinction.
Philip Mohebalian, a former doctoral student in Aguilar's group who now works for the World Wildlife Fund, built a methodology to assess degradation in Ecuador. Using remote images, Mohebalian combined inventories of Amazon rain forests with face-to-face surveys with landowners receiving payments for their conservation efforts through Ecuador's Socio Bosque Program (PSB).
Findings revealed that PSB prevented 9 percent of enrolled forest area from being deforested between 2008 and 2014, which is higher than previous assessments conducted through mostly imaging alone. An inventory of the species represented in the study revealed one to two more species per 100 acres than non-enrolled forests.
These assessments offer evidence that on-the-ground studies bringing together biophysical forest observations with socioeconomic factors offer a deeper understanding of the value of tropical forest conservation programs, Aguilar said.
The study, "Beneath the Canopy: Tropical forests enrolled in conservation payments reveal evidence of less degradation," recently was published in the current issue of Ecological Economics. Funding was provided by the University of Missouri Research Board and Research Council; the Doris D. and Christine M. Brown Fellowship; the USDA National Needs Fellowship; and a USDA International Science and Education Grant. Bolier Torres at the Unversidad Estata Amazonica; Lucas Lobez at the Universidad National de Misiones (Argentina); and Leonardo Zurita-Arthos and Maria Borja at Universidad San Francisco de Quito contributed to the study.

Match Preview | Sharks v Sea Eagles
Martin Gabor NRL.com
Fri 23 Jun 2017, 12:30 PM
Schick Hydro Preview: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
Where: Southern Cross Group Stadium, Cronulla
When: Sunday July 25, 4pm
As Sydney shivers through a colder-than-normal winter, the battle between two proud surf spots shifts from the beach to the footy field with the Sharks playing host to the Sea Eagles.
This shapes as one of the games of the weekend with the sides separated by just two competition points after 15 rounds and the winner is likely to finish the financial year in the Telstra Premiership top four.
The Sharks have won five of their past six matches, but it'd be generous to say they are in red-hot form given all of those have been decided by six points or less.
Their northern rivals have also notched five wins from their last six starts and will be fresh after last week's bye.
The Sharks welcome back their State of Origin quintet, with last week's heroes Kurt Capewell and Daniel Mortimer also retained on the bench.
The Sea Eagles have made one minor change to their bench with Darcy Lussick replacing Jackson Hastings in a clear sign that they want to take the fight to Cronulla's big boppers.
Why the Sharks can win: It's no secret the Sharks are slow out of the blocks, especially at home. Their last five wins have seen them overturn half-time deficits, with Shane Flanagan's men quickly becoming second-half specialists. The stats suggest Manly will skip out to an early lead, but if the Sharks can stay in touch with 20 minutes to go, they should find a way to win. Cronulla have scored 28 second-half tries and conceded just 11. Conversely, Manly has scored 21 four-pointers in the second stanza but they've also allowed 19, including 12 in the final 20 minutes.
Why the Sea Eagles can win: We've all heard about Cronulla's woes with ball in hand, but one stat that's gone largely unnoticed is just how disciplined the Sea Eagles have been in 2017. Trent Barrett's men have produced the fewest errors (122) this year, while the Sharks are the second-worst offenders (164). The last thing Cronulla will want to do is gift the competition's fifth-best attacking side multiple opportunities in 'good ball' areas.
The history: Played 88; Sharks 24; Sea Eagles 62; Drawn 2. This has been one of the most one-sided rivalries in the modern era with Manly winning 13 of the past 15 clashes between the two sides. Last year's ledger was split with both teams claiming narrow victories at home; another win on Sunday will give Cronulla back-to-back wins over the Sea Eagles for the first time since 2004.
What are the odds: Punters aren't convinced which way to go here. The early money was for Cronulla, but the money has come for Manly since the Sharks' lucky escape against Wests Tigers. Neither side has been confidently backed to win 13-plus with Sportsbet, so we might be in for a tight one according to the money. Latest odds at sportsbet.com.au.
Match officials: Referee: Ben Cummins. Assistant referee: Chris Butler. Sideline officials: Rohan Best and Nick Beashel.
Televised: Channel Nine – Live coverage from 3:30pm. Fox Sports 2 – Live coverage from 4pm.
NRL.com predicts: A lot hinges on who backs up from Origin. If the likes of Andrew Fifita, Valentine Holmes and Wade Graham get through unscathed then the Sharks should start deserved favourites. However, if one or two of Cronulla's stars fail to back up then the soaring Sea Eagles suddenly look like a value tip. With all things being equal, expect the Sharks to claim another come-from-behind win, with James Maloney's boot proving the difference in the final five minutes. Sharks by 1.

The transition into a successful digital company has been a struggle in the printing industry for decades. As Fortune 500 companies struggle to become digital companies, it is worthwhile to see if we can learn from their experiences. This article is the first in a two-part series of Lessons Learned from companies that have successfully implemented digital technologies.
For those that have lived through this transition, you may have already learned about the new skills needed, new staffing requirements and cultural changes (web to print, HTML, IT and Print MIS, on-call, remote and telecommuting staff). For large enterprise companies, new positions include digital strategists, chief digital offers, digital marketing managers and others.
Despite the creation of these new roles, most executives admit that their companies are not prepared for the disruptions that are occurring due to digital changes. Almost 9 out of 10 respondents to a survey by MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte admit that their industries will be changed by new digital technologies, but only 44% reported they are prepared. This study asked 3700 business executives, managers, and analysts in 131 countries and 27 different industries about their success in transitioning into a digital company.
To overcome these challenges requires developing a digital vocabulary, training management in digital acumen, and internal capabilities in which the companies' activities, staff, culture, and infrastructure are aligned toward the strategic goals of the organization. However, as companies in our industry are learning, there are constraints such as lack of resources, internal resistance, and a lack of talent.
A key finding in the study was that successful digital companies share common denominators. Two important features are a willingness to invest in new talent, and recruiting and training leaders to excel at "soft" skills. Equally important is encouraging a greater tolerance for risk and an overall willingness to quickly try something new, and if it does not work, a willingness to let an initiative to "fail fast". Failing fast, failing often, and falling forward is a strategy used by high tech companies to quickly regroup and try again. Perhaps the most interesting finding of this research was that a mature digital companies do not require a digital expert at the helm. In the next article on this we will talk about five critical success factors for digital success.


Elizabeth Hay has written a beautiful painting of a story of two generations of women living and loving their lives back and forth across the plains and cities of Canada. Hay's descriptions of the lands, fields and forests that the story inhabits provide a setting that binds the characters together. The story begins with the murder of a young girl, out picking chokecherries, but the narrator Anne, is introduced well into the first chapter. Anne is the next generation, and her story is intermixed through the sharing of the story of her Aunt Connie, a teacher and her mother's sister. Tragedy, like this murder, stalks those around her, striking intermittently but repeatedly. Few men populate this book and the three with telling roles in the story, Parley, Michael and Syd, serve as the loom on which Elizabeth Hay weaves the stories of these women's lives.
The story ripples out across the countryside with the story of Connie as a young woman, teaching in a rural school. Parley is the school's headmaster, Michael is Connie's struggling student and Syd the Board of Education traveling evaluator. Connie's story begins with her teaching, Parley's understated wooing of Connie, and then of his treachery with Michael's sister through his staging of a play – Tess of the D'Urbervilles. The ensuing death of Michael's sister leaves a stain on each of these three lives. Syd is introduced, providing guidance and surety through the aftermath. A chance encounter years later during a train ride finds Connie, now a newspaper reporter, on a train with Parley and his wife and step daughter. All survive the train crash however lives are again stained in its aftermath.
Michael returns and through Anne's affair with him, we learn of his and Connie's love affair. The later affair brings a strain and creates a separation between Connie and Anne. Connie's affair with Michael leads to the end of her brief marriage to Syd. Connie seeks out Parley in his self-imposed incarceration in a sanatorium after establishing another school across the provinces. The visit provides no satisfaction to either Connie or Parley who takes his own life in the subsequent years.
Anne's story comes more into focus at this point in the story, usurping Connie's which serves as the parallel to Anne's growing self-awareness. It is the excavation of Connie's story that brings the story of Anne and her artist mother. Michael reappears again at the end of his life, the continuing essence that binds the women. Syd too reappears, the survivor. Alone in the Classroom ends gently with Anne's memories of Connie, Michael and a chance encounter with Paley's surviving step daughter set forth in her writing. Her own search for self and identity tied back, as she learns, to another's death in the same train crash that spared Connie and Parley.
Hays' female characters provide strong insights into what makes them tick. Yet the men in the lives of these women blow like the wind, sometimes strong and destructive, sometimes gentle and caressing – tugging and pushing at the lives the women lead. Alone in the Classroom is a compelling read that I enjoyed while sitting on the shores of Lake Ontario.
I really enjoyed this as well and it was my first book by Hay. Can't wait to read her others!

BORIS - ID 14045 - DSH - MALE - DOB 07/12/2017 I came to the shelter as a stray. I am a very friendly little black young cat. The big boys seem like giants beside me, but I have a big purr that compensates for my size. I am ready for a life full of play in my forever home so hope it comes soon.
PENNY - ID 14002 - DMH - FEMALE - DOB 30/04/2017 I'm a very pretty girl with a luscious coat. I don't particularly like dogs so best if I don't have to share with one. I was found as a stray but I'm sure I must have had a family. Please come and meet me, I'm in sharing with the other girls. Looking forward to having a forever home.
CANDY - ID 13910 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 19/03/2015 I was surrendered to the shelter with my babies. They have all found their forever homes. My older daughter from a previous litter is here too CASSIE ID 13906. I don't particularly like to be picked up but I still want to be loved and cared for and I would love to sleep on your bed (what cat doesn't want to cuddle up on a comfy bed). You will find me in the female adult cattery.
CASSIE - ID 13906 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 19/03/2017 I was surrendered to the shelter as a young adult with my babies and my mum and her new babies. We all went to the one foster carer and we shared parental duties. Sometimes one of us would feed all the babies. Very confusing for our foster Mum and Dad. I'm not sure about this sharing situation in the female cattery but I'm getting used to it. I like to be patted but not real sure about this picking up business. Maybe I would rather just sit beside you and your family on the couch and sleep on a different bed every night. This is what I dream about. Please make my dreams come true.
TIGGA - ID 13937 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 04/04/2016 I'm a very friendly pussycat looking forward to a life of cuddles and unconditional love. Please come to the shelter any time we are open to meet me. You will find me in with the big girls.
JETT 2 - ID 13909 - DSH - MALE - DOB 19/02/2018 My sisters have already found their forever homes so I think it is my turn now. I have very sleek black fur and a loud purr when I'm happy. I've been at the shelter 3 loooong months but I would prefer to be with a family that will love to play and cuddle me. I hope that happens very soon.
RACHEL - ID 13806 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 24/11/2017 I'm a bit frightened of loud noises, but if you hold me close I will purr and purr and I love belly rubs. I think I'd like to be in a quiet house so I can be number one. So I'm all ready to meet my new person who will hold me close when I need it. UPDATE........IT's been a whole year now and I'm still waiting.
LUCY - ID 13833 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 13/12/2017 I'm a little shy but I think it's because I have to share with so many big girls. I am looking forward to going to a family with lots of love to give. Sharing a cuddle is high on my to do list. Please come soon I'm growing so fast.
SHARI - ID 13837 - DSH - FEMALE - DOB 21/02/2017 I'm an affectionate girl who likes a pat and a scratch under the chin. Black and white is a very popular colour this year. So make sure you seek me out. I'm looking forward to finding my forever home.


I am a big fan of Parse, a technology that makes developing web and mobile apps faster. It lets you store, sync and push data in the cloud without writing a line of server-side code. Read on to see how you can integrate Parse in your next project.
Interacting with the database is extremely painless!
A lot of new technologies leverage the cloud, and it's not uncommon to see developers taking advantage of these cost-effective services, such as AWS, Amazon S3, Heroku, and more. The introduction of these services essentially altered the web development landscape; more of what we do resides in the cloud.
Today, we're going to look at Parse, a startup that offers a cloud-based data management system. By leveraging their service, I was able to rapidly create new mobile and web apps. We're going to use Parse to create the obligatory To-do web application, and I hope it gives you a taste of what the service can offer.
Simply put, Parse is a cloud-based data management system that allows you to quickly develop web and mobile apps.
It makes developing apps really easy by taking the back-end out of your hands.
Think about this for a minute. Traditionally, you set up a server-side stack (LAMP, or RoR, ASP.NET, or something else), set up a database, and then interact with it via Ajax on the client. Parse just reduced all that work to a few lines of code.
Before we start, let's take a minute and think how a traditional To-do list app could be created using a LAMP stack.
You would create a MySQL database.
You may have a PHP class that is responsible for performing CRUD operations. Optionally, you could just have a bunch of PHP functions.
You would need to sanitize the input to protect against XSS attacks, as well as worry about database security in general.
If a collaborative app, you would need to track different users and manage their lists. More code, more tables, and more schemas.
You would need to make sure your database stays performant.
You get the idea. There's a lot to think about and many areas to make mistakes. Parse handles these issues for us.
Before you do anything, create a free Parse account. Then create a new app called EnvatoTodo.
Before we start interacting with Parse, let's set up a basic client-side structure for our application. Since the UI is not the focus of this application, I'll just show you the code that I used. It's nothing fancy, but I'm using YUI3. You could optionally use jQuery. Everything is in index.html.
//Use the YUI 'node' module.
//Lets declare some variables that we'll be using.
//The rest of our application code will go below.
When the submit button is clicked, we want to get the contents of the input and save a new todo list item.
When a <li> is clicked, we want to save that item as being complete. We use 'delegate' here instead of 'on' so that we only create one event listener instead of one for each checkbox.
Parse frees you from setting up a server-side stack.
Let's get back to Parse. View the Data Browser for EnvatoTodo (it's currently empty). The Data Browser is similar to a MySQL database server, but the Parse DB is schema-less. While you can specify columns in the Data Browser, you can actually save any object with simple JSON (not unlike many NoSQL/Document databases). This is an extremely important and useful feature of Parse.
We're going to go ahead and add a "class" to the database. Think of a class as a table. The reason it's called a class is because you'll generally create objects from a certain class and then save that object to the database.
Parse has five types of classes.
User classes store user-specific information, and Parse provides sugar methods such as signUp(), login(), and more to help with user administration.
Installation classes are typically used to send push notifications for mobile apps. Yes, Parse supports push notifications to all clients.
Role classes help segregate users into specific roles, controlling access to read/write to other classes. This is called ACL (access control list) within Parse.
Product classes store in-app product data.
Custom classes are for anything else.
Let's create a custom class called ListItem. Once it's created, you'll notice it already has four properties. Parse automatically updates the properties of every class that you create. Some classes, such as user classes, may have their own specific properties.
Our ListItem objects will contain a content property to show what the Todo contains, and an isComplete property to indicate whether the Todo was completed. We could add columns for these properties, but Parse will figure it out from our JSON.
//Extend the native Parse.Object class.
//listItem is now the object that we want to save, so we assign the properties that we want on it.
//We call the save method, and pass in success and failure callback functions.
Interacting with the database is extremely painless! Every custom class in Parse inherits from Parse.Object; therefore, ListItem is a subclass. The string argument "ListItem" tells Parse that this class correlates to the ListItem table that we created. Then we create a new ListItem object, set its properties, and call save().
//This time, we use Parse.Query to generate a new query, specifically querying the ListItem table.
//We set constraints on the query.
//We submit the query and pass in callback functions.
Once again, it's fairly simple and easy to read. The Parse.Query() method is quite powerful. Here, we perform a fairly basic query, but Parse queries can be complex as well. You can query for specific regular expressions, perform relational queries, and many more. Be sure to visit the Query Documentation for more examples and code snippets.
Query for a Parse object with that id.
Get the returned Parse object, and update it's isComplete property as true.
Remove it from the displayed list.
//The query.get() method requires the objectId as its first argument. It returns the object with that id.
//Once the object is returned, we update its property and save it.
//Since the item is no longer incomplete, we remove it from the list.
//If there's nothing in the list, show a message saying the list is empty.
In this snippet, we query for an individual element with a specific id, update it, and save it. Then we remove it from the list with self.remove().
In Parse, updating objects is very similar to saving objects--we call save() in both cases. Parse figures out whether it's an existing (dirty) object, or an entirely new object and performs the appropriate action.
With that, we're good to go! Pretty easy, eh? Download the attached ZIP file and open index.html to view the entire source code.
In this tutorial, we primarily looked at Parse from a web development point-of-view. However, the service was originally started with mobile developers in mind. Parse has a very thorough SDK for Android and iOS, and it supports features such as push notifications to all users of your mobile app.
Some other big features that we didn't cover in this tutorial involve users, roles, and storing relational information.
Parse makes it relatively simple to create users, and assign different roles to them. For example, in a learning management system, you may have "Teachers", "Students", and "Administrators". By assigning roles, you can specify which type of user has access to certain Parse objects.
As a developer, I like that Parse takes care of a lot of the security concerns that I have. As it states on the website, the Parse SDKs are designed "so that you typically don't need to worry about how data is saved." There's still the issue of users having access to information that they shouldn't be able to. To address this concern, Parse offers Object-level and Class-level permissions.
Object-level permissions allow a developer to specify an array of object IDs that have access to read and/or write the object. Class-level permissions allow a developer to specify what aspects of a Parse class can be manipulated from the API. The following operations can be allowed or denied on a per-class basis: Get, Find, Update, Create, Delete, and Add Fields.
I want to stress is that Parse is not suitable for every type of project. Although the free plan is very generous, Parse is a paid service. It can get expensive if you go above certain limits. Luckily, the pricing model is very transparent, and you should be able to figure out how much your app can cost. Generally speaking, I use it for smaller projects where I can anticipate a certain cap when it comes to the number of API requests that I make. I have yet to try Parse for a large project.
One common issue with a service such as Parse is the lock-in effect.
If you use Parse for a small project that suddenly takes off, it can be difficult to move to a difference service or platform. As you can imagine, replacing Parse with your own back-end would entail a significant amount of refactoring. This doesn't mean you shouldn't use Parse, but it's something to keep in mind.
In this tutorial, we looked at how we can use Parse to create a relatively simple web application. I've used this service for a number of projects for various clients, and I find the Parse team to be very helpful when issues arise. I encourage you give the service a try, and make your own decision!
Disclosure: I have no relationship with Parse or any of its employees. I'm just a developer who uses their service, and I find it to be a helpful addition to my development workflow.
Hey there! I'm a front-end engineer who is interested in startups, education and using technology to solve problems that ordinary folks have. You can connect with me on Twitter and peek at my projects on my site.

1. My birthday officially lasted from January 8-13, according to my friends' and family's Happy Birthday wishes. This means everyone "basically remembers" when my birthday is, but not the actual day. I will leave it as a mystery. This makes the magic last longer, and likens my date of birth to a week-long festival.
3. New Year's Resolution: READ MORE. As in mostly, read at all, so I've decided to re-read some of my favorite real books, and newly read some books I've been "going to read" since college.
4. Currently re-reading Royal Road to Romance. There is no love story, unless you are ready to fall in love with traveling! It's the perfect read for the avid vagabond, but also perfect for the non-traveler - the author takes you with him on his whims and you'll feel like a world traveler by the 5th chapter.
5. Finally made it to an antique flea market in the southern area of Paris. I didn't buy anything, but I didn't need to; my first time there is best understood as a museum experience. My goal is to find a beautiful antique music box there.
6. Our great American friend here, Jessamy, made us the most unique and fabulous tasting lasagna the other night. It had carrots and onions in it and we still loved it - that's how good it was.
7. IT'S SALE TIME!!! This month and part of the next are the wild European clearance sales at every store. If you "need" anything Parisian, tell us NOW. We are on the docket to get chic riding boots for Marc's sister at the moment.
8. My beautiful adventurous soul sisters, Kia and Tanya, have both booked their plane tickets for Paris! I am SO excited about their trips, and no one else is allowed to pack into our one room studio from mid-March to mid-April. First come, first serve!
9. We found Marc a very fashionable pea coat that he now wears proudly everyday. It matches our onslaught of 15-20+ scarves, so he never leaves home without looking sharp.
10. I have dreams about buying a Vespa scooter. Dreams, visions, and hallucinations, that is. I'd be the colorful, happy, non-abused version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... The Girl with the Side Ponytail.
11. Marc's basketball team keeps winning. They are actually not allowed to lose. No pressure.
12. We won our match today in 3, keeping us in 3rd place in league. The team I coach also won in 5; the last set 15-0. Our outside hitter just served our way to victory. Can't we do that in the first 3 sets instead?
If 2012 is half as great as 2011, we are golden!
I'm bringing you some books to barrow. Which in fact, if I'm not careful, will make up all of my suit case. This could be dangerous, but as an English Lit. major, it is my active and sworn duty to promote the reading of books- no matter how shamelessly I take up this cross. Also- we need to skype. Living back at home makes my 2 AM convos a little harder so we should plan one. I bought a Paris travel book at Vallue Village for $2 and am finding it horrifically useful, but seeing as how it's from 2008, you will obviously be my 'be-all-end-all' advice go-to. Blessed and Honored to be named dropped and ready to write a few more chapters in my life book. See you soon- like skype-wise because three months isn't that soon for getting to see you!


It was 12 years ago when American doughnut company and coffeehouse chain Krispy Kreme landed in Japan. Their very first store, at Shinjuku Southern Terrace, sadly closed recently, but the company is continuing to expand to other locations around the country, with Hokkaido receiving its first-ever Krispy Kreme store on Friday.
▼ The new Krispy Kreme is located just 10 minutes away from New Chitose Airport by car, at Chitose Outlet Mall Rera.
Our Japanese-language reporter K. Nagahashi arrived bright and early at the outlet mall for the grand opening of the new Krispy Kreme, and he was happy to find the area appeared to be relatively deserted and crowd-free.
All the shops were yet to open, but as he approached the doughnut store location, he could sense some movement and activity in the area.
And that's when he realised he wasn't the only one who'd come to get a taste of Krispy Kreme.
According to one of the staff in charge of crowd control, there were approximately 200-300 people waiting in line.
K had arrived ten minutes before the store's scheduled 10:00 a.m. opening time, but the people ahead of him in line must've arrived hours earlier.
Hokkaido's first-ever Krispy Kreme store opening was a big event, with local media interviewing people in line and cameras recording the scene for TV news.
One of the highlights of K's visit to the store was the unusual "Doughnut Theatre", which allows visitors to view the cooking process from behind a large glass panel. Here, doughnuts are made with the same manufacturing machines used in the U.S.
Big batches of doughnuts were being produced before K's very eyes, making his stomach rumble. It was interesting to see how the doughnuts were made, and K thought it was nice that the toppings were still finished by hand.
After waiting in line for about two hours, K finally got to step inside the store. He knew exactly what he was going to purchase: an original glazed doughnut, warmed up, and a hot coffee.
Despite being no stranger to the taste of a glazed Krispy Kreme, K was still looking forward to being one of the first to try the doughnut at its new Hokkaido location. And he was happy he did; the doughnut was moist and sweet, and was a great partner to the slightly bitter coffee. It was a perfect warming snack for the chilly air of a Hokkaido morning.
Hokkaidoites will be happy to know that a second store is also headed their way, with a new outlet scheduled to open on November 2 in the capital city of Sapporo.
Whether or not Hokkaido will truly welcome the doughnut chain with open arms is yet to be seen, but it's safe to say the lines might well be out the door again when they release their seasonal exclusives, and their Lucky Bag for 2019.

Q: Multibindingconverter not changing color in C# WPF app In my WPF Application I try to change the color of one datagrid cell based on the value of two other cells in that row.
This is an excerpt from my XML:
 <DataGridTextColumn Header="Element1" Binding="{Binding Element1}">
                            <DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
                                <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">

                                                </MultiBinding.Bindings>

                            </DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
                        </DataGridTextColumn>

Here is my Converter:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Data;

namespace LiveLogosStatus.Converter
{
    class MultiColorConverter : IMultiValueConverter
    {

        public MultiColorConverter()
        {
        }

        public object Convert(object[] value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
           if(value[1] == null || value[0] == null)
            {
                return Brushes.Blue;
            }
                DateTime startDate = (DateTime)value[0];
                DateTime endDate = (DateTime)value[1];
                if (DateTime.Now >= startDate && DateTime.Now < endDate)
                {
                return Brushes.Yellow;
                }
                else

        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
}

I checked while debugging and my Convert Method fires and returns the correct values. However the color doesn't change in the final view.
Edit: Even when changing from SolidBrush to the static Brushes type, it still doesn't work. I had Brushes.Red etc. already and only tried SolidBrush when that didn't work.

A: Ok, thanks @Clemens for bringing me on the right track
For some reason my Visual Studio decided that using System.Drawing; was the correct using statement. Unfortunately System.Drawing.Brushes exists and seems to also return a SolidBrush.
After adding using System.Windows.Media; and deleting  using System.Drawing; everything works as expected. Especially if SolidBrush is a part of WinForms I don't understand why VS would even tell me to use System.Drawing.

A recent spell of very warm weather has meant that weeds are growing prolifically around the edges of the bowling green. This has now been raised with the Parks department at Hyndburn Borough Council who will address this immediately.
Concerns have also been raised regarding the wooden boarding which runs around the edge of the green to protect bowls which fall into the gully. Some of this has now fallen into disrepair and Ken Moss has sent a request to HBC that this is replaced with uPVC fascia as soon as possible.

Q: Merge JSON data with Python As part of a Python program, I want to merge JSON objects that contain identically structured data. For instance:
{
    "responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
    "responseDetails": {
        "total": 5754,
    },
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1324651
        },
        {
            "id": 5686131
        }
    ]
}

What I want to do is to add the content of the data array of my section object into the data array of my first object.
So, assuming:
thejson1 = json.loads({"responseStatus": "SUCCESS","responseDetails": {"total": 5754,},"data": [{"id": 1324651},{"id": 5686131}]})
thejson2 = json.loads({"responseStatus": "SUCCESS","responseDetails": {"total": 1234,},"data": [{"id": 2165735},{"id": 2133256}]})

I thought that executing:
thejson1["data"].append(thejson2["data"])

Would expand thejson1 into:
{
    "responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
    "responseDetails": {
        "total": 5754,
    },
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1324651
        },
        {
            "id": 5686131
        },
        {
            "id": 2165735
        },
        {
            "id": 2133256
        }
    ]
}

But what it does instead is add thejson2 data as an array within the data array of thejson1:
{
    "responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
    "responseDetails": {
        "total": 5754,
    },
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1324651
        },
        {
            "id": 5686131
        },
        [
            {
                "id": 2165735
            },
            {
                "id": 2133256
            }
        ]
    ]
}

So, what am I doing wrong? It looks like append adds the data array of the second JSON object instead of its content, but note that I can't know in advance the contents of the "data" array in my JSON input, so I can't write code that specifically loops in the "id" objects to add them one by one.
Thanks in advance!
R.

A: You're looking for extend, not append.
thejson1["data"].extend(thejson2["data"])

append takes the single argument and insert it to the end. While extend extends the list by adding all the individual values in the argument list to the end.
# example:
a=[1, 2, 3]

b = a[:].append([4, 5])
# b = [1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]

c = a[:].extend([4, 5])
# c = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

A: thejson1 = {"responseStatus": "SUCCESS","responseDetails": {"total": 5754,},"data": [{"id": 1324651},{"id": 5686131}]}
thejson2 = {"responseStatus": "SUCCESS","responseDetails": {"total": 1234,},"data": [{"id": 2165735},{"id": 2133256}]}

thejson1["data"]  += thejson2["data"]

Output:
{'responseDetails': {'total': 5754}, 'data': [{'id': 1324651}, {'id': 5686131}, {'id': 2165735}, {'id': 2133256}], 'responseStatus': 'SUCCESS'}

You can also use += to extend.

Luncheon with Former Green Bay Packers
By Nyesha Stone –
The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County's OTHERS Luncheon will be bringing the green and gold down here to Milwaukee. Their luncheon will be featuring a panelist of three Green Bay Packers on Oct. 23 at 11:30 a.m. at the Wisconsin Club, 900 W. Wisconsin Ave.
Gilbert Brown, Leroy Butler, and George Koonce will be the panelist of the event. Each of these former Packer players played eight seasons with the team. The theme of the discussion is how the men had help from others that pushed them to become professional athletes and successful business men and community supporters.
Here's a little background on the players:
Koonce was a Green Bay Packer from 1992-99. He may never play football professionally again, but that doesn't mean football is done with him. He served as Director of Player Development for the Packers, Senior Associate Athletic Director and Director of Development at Marquette University, and Athletic Director at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Dr. Koonce is now the Senior Vice President of University Relations at Marian University
Brown played as the Packers' nose tackle from 1993-99, and from 2001-03. He was inducted into the Packers' Hall of Fame in 2008 because of his contributions on defense during the mid-1990s.
Years later, Brown is currently focused on a foundation that was inspired by his mother, Ann Brown—The Gilbert Brown Foundation. This foundation supports more than 100 charities that help children. That's not it: Brown created an anti-bullying program that is in certain schools.
Butler played for the team from 1990-2001. In the 1990 NFL draft, he was selected in the second round. He experienced physical problems in his younger days which caused for him to wear leg braces, and he had to use a wheelchair from time to time.
During his 12 seasons with the Packers, he recorded 953 tackles, 38 interceptions, 553 return yards, 12 fumble recoveries, 3 defensive touchdowns, and 20 1⁄2 sacks. He was named to the 1990s NFL All Decade Team by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and was later inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 2007.
Chief Mark Rohlfing of the City of Milwaukee Fire Department and Pipines will serve as chairpersons of the event. Lunch will be served at noon, and the panel discussion will begin at 12:45 p.m.
Tickets for the luncheon are $90. For a table of eight, which includes pre-event and on-site recognition, is available for $900. Proceeds will benefit the Salvation Army's Children's Programs. Tickets can be purchased at SAmilwaukee.org

The ideal pump has to be as durable as possible to guarantee excellent services and as minimal breakdowns, repairs, and maintenance throughout its entire lifetime.
Its key constituent parts must thus be made of very sturdy materials such as polymers, stainless steel, and perma glass that are ordinarily very resistant to the common elements of wear-and-tear such as corrosion, cleavage, and scratches.
It must be as easy and convenient to use/operate as possible for even the users with the least amount of technical expertise.
All the controls must not only be accessible but also clearly marked and very simplified to engage.
It must ideally have a see-through strainer, extra-large debris basket, efficient, high-performance best pool pump motor, and easy-to-use swing-away hand knobs, among other elegant features.
Ideally, the best swimming pool pump should not require assembly before use. This means it should be availed in a pre-assembled form by the manufacturer.
If that cannot be the case, then it should be as easy to set up/install as possible especially for the sake of those prospective users who may lack the requisite technical expertise.
It should also be accompanied by an easy-to-read manufacturer's manual that guides users throughout the installation process.
This refers to the rate of fuel consumption per work done. Strength rating, on the other hand, relates to the amount of suction power generated by the motor per unit of fuel consumed.
The best swimming pool pump ought to have a very high fuel efficiency and horsepower rating as possible.
This translates into more work done for less amount of fuel consumed.
In case a swimming pool is located in a busy yet sensitive public place such as hotel or school library, noise pollution is usually a concern.
That's because the pumps often emit noise besides pumping water and in so doing, interferes with those in the surrounding.
The engine of the pump of choice should, therefore, be as quiet as possible.
Swimming pool pumps are not used quite often.
Instead, they are occasionally deployed, if and when there is need to use them.
They are often disassembled and stored when not in use. The most preferred pump should, therefore, be compact in size and as light as possible.
This best swimming pool pump is to minimize storage space requirements, facilitate storage and retrieval, and simplify its use.
It must not pose any safety issues to the user such as burns, intoxication from the discharged smoke, or electrical faults.
Consequently, its key sensitive parts such as seal should be made of heat-resistant materials such as ceramics; it must be insulated to ward off electrical shocks, and its base must be as large and as stable as possible to guarantee reliability in times of use.
One of the most daunting tasks to accomplish especially in the winter months is to drain a pump.
That's because the frozen water often clogs the pump thus rendering it ineffective for pumping water. The ideal pump has to contain a drainage plug that may efficiently drain the clogged water and thus ensure the smooth flow of the pumped water.
"Flow Rate" refers to the amount of water or any other liquid that the pump may handle per unit time.
"Suction Lift" on the other hand relates to the vertical range (total extent/height) through which the water or any other liquid pumped may reach.
The preferred best swimming pool pump ought to have a very high flow rate and higher suction lift at the same time.
The term "resistance" refers to the average length, in feet; it takes for the skimmer to reach the pump.
The longer the resistance, the slow and the less efficient the pump will be and vice versa. High resistance means greater fuel consumption and less efficiency.
It, therefore, goes without saying that the pump of choice has to be very low resistance possible.
The task of selecting the most suitable swimming pool pump from the best swimming pool pumps reviews, as may be deduced from the prior review, may be quite daunting to a novice buyer.
The intervention of a well-qualified expert is therefore by all means strongly recommended if the hope of making the best purchase decision is to be realized.

Open Primaries in The Westminster System
In 2008, British Conservative MP Douglas Carswell and British Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan co-authored a veritable manifesto for direct democracy and wholescale renewal of the Conservative Party, called The Plan: Twelve Months to Renew Britain. They represent what I would call a neo-Whiggish constituency within the British Conservative Party that since 2005 or so has advocated strongly in favour of localism and for significant parliamentary and political reforms that would secure their agenda. The Localist Papers (an apt allusion to the Federalist Papers) lay out a radical program of reform in order to strengthen parliament vis-a-vis the political executive (and civil service) by ensuring that parliamentarians answer first to their constituents and by formally abolishing Crown prerogative. I find the latter suggestion entirely too radical and ill-conceived because the abolition of Crown prerogative altogether would constitute the most significant constitutional overhaul – not merely reform – since the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and destroy the essence of the Crown-in-Parliament. I agree with some of the other reforms, however.
One of those reforms called for the adoption of "open primaries," based on the American system, which would allow all registered electors in a given constituency to vote in the selection of each party's candidate. The candidates standing in each party's primary would need to be a member of their respective parties, however. The Plan describes neither the political process nor potential constitutional implications in any detail, but promotes open primaries as electoral dynamism, preventing stagnation and eliminating the safe seats, which they claim describe 70% of the seats in parliament today. Carswell introduced a Private Members' Bill on 13 October 2009, the Parliamentary Elections (Recall and Primaries) Bill. As he explained to the House: "At 4 of the last 5 general elections, less than 1 in 10 parliamentary constituencies changed hands. The 5th was of course the Labour landslide of 1997, but even there, more than 70% of seats were held by the parties that already controlled them. In other words, most of us represent pocket boroughs. We have tenure. Our incentives are thus twisted: instead of answering outwards to the voters, MPs and safe seats are encouraged by the system to answer upwards to their whips." Carswell's bill did not reach Second Reading, so the website does not include the text of the bill itself.
An open primary has already occurred in the United Kingdom. Carswell mentioned that the Conservative Party held an open primary already in the constituency of Totnes in August 2009; his bill would have provided a framework for these primaries. The Independent described the primary: "After local Tories drew up a short-list of three potential candidates, ballot papers were sent to all 69,000 registered electors in Totnes. The Conservatives spent £38,000 on the primary – equivalent to £2.30 for every vote cast – but declared that the experiment in democracy had been a success in engaging the constituency's electors." Carswell added that 26% of registered electors of all parties participated in this primary, or 16,000 people.
I support open primaries in principle for the reasons that Carswell and Hannan enumerated: open primaries give all voters a choice, particularly in safe seats where currently the ruling party's riding nomination effectively determines the next Member of Parliament, and they remind parliamentarians that they serve their constituents first. I had significant reservations with respect to the implications for responsible government until Douglas Carswell was kind enough to reply to my question via Twitter and direct me to his proposed legislation, which I had not examined until today.
The Parliamentary Elections Bill would have provided a framework for open primaries that parties could follow, based on the Conservative Party's experiment in Totnes in August 2009, but it would not have forced primaries upon all parties and constituencies. Carswell said: "Under my Bill, local people—supported by one or more parties—could petition their returning officer to organise a primary contest at the same time as a pre-existing local or European ballot. The primary election would be piggy-backed on to an election already due to take place. The returning officer would have to include an extra ballot paper with the names of those on the shortlist. Each party that chose to take part would have to pay the marginal additional cost for having its ballot paper included, but it would be a cost of hundreds not thousands of pounds." This principle would be more difficult to apply in Canada, being a federation of 10 provinces, all of which could also apply open primaries to their provincial legislative assemblies!)
Carswell understands that open primaries in a Westminster system would necessarily differ from open primaries in the United States because of responsible government, particularly in the context of minority parliaments. Primaries would thus not become automatic, but instead would require support of the electors in a given constituency for a particular election. Based on his speech at First Reading, I can only conclude that the early dissolution of a minority parliament would effectively prevent the holding of open primaries. However, the Parliamentary Elections Bill would probably have encouraged the organic development of a new system whereby one party's adoption of open primaries would persuade the other parties to follow suit. In turn, voters in any constituency could precipitate the holding of a primary. If the system were beneficial and functioned as planned, it would quickly catch on with voters. If not, it would remain a Conservative experiment in Totnes. So what does the UK have to lose?
This system would surely constitute a radical shift in Canada, where candidates are currently elected in "riding nominations", which correspond loosely to the "closed primaries" in the United States, where only party members vote on the candidates. In an open primary, however, all registered voters could cast ballots for the candidate of one party, even if they have no intention of voting for that party in the general elections. The prospect of opening up the process to all electors surely seems frightening to many partisans, and critics would argue that this system, rife for abuse, could see rigged voting. These are valid concerns. Thought Undermined (an excellent blog on parliamentary issues) addressed these concerns well: essentially, in a safe riding where only party can win, an open primary would allow all voters to participate and ensure that their votes aren't simply wasted in the general election on a candidate who has no chance of winning. And in a competitive swing riding (or "marginal constituency", as our British friends would say) where two parties compete fiercely and either could reasonably win the general election, open primaries would help attract better candidates. Above all, electors seek a good MP, so if the other party that they don't support could win in the general election, they wouldn't rig the vote by selecting the weakest candidate from that other party; they would instead pick the stronger candidate precisely because he or she could win in the general election, and they wouldn't want to saddle themselves with the burden of bad representation in Parliament. Given that a small and decreasing percentage of the Canadian population holds membership in political parties, the adoption of this system would re-enfranchise swaths of voters into a crucial part of the political process.
Where primaries in the United States function under the guarantee of biennial or quadrennial periodicity, if a parliament is dissolved early because the government losses the confidence of the House and no alternative government can be formed, then the parties probably wouldn't be able to organize open primaries in time before the general election. We could of course proceed with the understanding that open primaries in our Westminster system cannot necessarily be held biennially or quadrennially like in the United States because of our system of responsible government, but parties could still organize open primaries before most elections. If the Parliament of the United Kingdom can accommodate such a system, then so too can all the other Westminster parliaments scattered across the earth. I hope that some Canadian political parties implement the idea as well, and thus eliminate this horrid practice of "parachuting" "star candidates" into safe seats simply so that they can take a seat in the House of Commons.

Thanks for the mention. I've been promoting your blog on other sites (such as LiveJournal), and also included it in today's "Interesting Links" post.
Unrelated to this post, so feel free to delete/edit this part out, regarding your question about why Canadian MPs can't use the 2nd person, when UK and Australian MPs do often. First of all, MPs in the UK and Australia shouldn't use the 2nd person. If they do and get away with it, it's more a failing of the Chair to call them to order for so doing. In my experience, I have to say that I rarely, if ever, hear UK MPs use the 2nd person. The reason why the 2nd person is not to be used is because all remarks are to be addressed to the Chair, not directly to another MP. The only person an MP is to refer to as "you" is the Chair, as in "Mr Speaker, you ruled yesterday that…" All remarks, questions, comments, etc. directed at another MP are to be made through the Chair, and thus in the 3rd person. MPs are to direct remarks to the Chair because this helps to ensure that the proceedings are conducted in a civil manner since Members are less likely to engage in heated exchanges and personal attacks if their comments are directed to the Speaker rather than directly to another Member.
In the Ontario legislature, for example, during Oral Questions, one opposition party in particular tends to ignore this rule on a regular basis, and the Speaker almost never calls them to order (nor does anyone raise the matter on a point of order). The Government often will reply in kind, but on the whole, they're pretty good. The other opposition party never seems to violate this rule. I'll let you guess which party does what…
James W.J. Bowden says:
I found the clips of the Australian House of Representatives during Paul Keating's premiership where he and the Liberal Opposition Leader would often spar off in the second person, but since they started in the third person and lapsed into the second person in the heat of debate. The Speaker of the day resigned himself to these methods.
I invite reasonable questions and comments; all others will be prorogued or dissolved. Cancel reply

Choose the most efficient vehicle for your needs.
New vehicles have a higher fuel efficiency due the passenger automobile and light truck GHG emission regulation. By 2015, vehicles will be 50% more fuel efficient than 2008 models. Twenty percent of Canadian cars, trucks and vans are over 10 years old. Given the cost of fuel, it may be cost effective to transition to a newer more fuel efficient vehicle sooner. Save money and reduce GHG emissions.
The age of your vehicle and its size largely dictates your bill at the pump.
The CAA Driving Costs Calculator offers two options to better understand the complete cost of operating a vehicle as well as the GHG emission impact. The first shows how much it costs to drive a certain type of vehicle for a year and GHG emission impact compared to the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the same category. The second option allows you to learn more about costs for a specific year, make and model. You can also compare the cost and GHG emission implications of competing choices. For example, by driving a mid-sized car rather than an SUV you could save $530 a year in fuel and decrease GHG emissions by 1.1 tonnes.
Natural Resources Canada Fuel Consumption Rating Tool also allows you to compare years and models of vehicles and understand the comparative fuel cost and GHG emissions.
There are three distinct types of advanced technology vehicles currently available in the Canadian market: battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and hybrids.
There are two free tools available to compare the cost of powering these vehicles as well as the GHG emissions they produce.
Natural Resources Canada provides annual comparative tables on the performance, fuel consumption and GHG emissions related to advanced technology vehicles.
The CAA Electric Vehicle Cost Calculator estimates your energy costs based on the kilometres driven in a year. It makes electricity price adjustments for the province you live in and provides the GHG emissions of the energy used to power the vehicle you select. It covers electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids.
Funding is available through the Ontario Ministry of Transportation Incentives for Electric Vehicles for individuals, business, municipalities, non-government organizations and non-profit groups. Incentives range from $5,000 to $8,500 towards the purchase or lease of a new plug-in hybrid electric or battery electric vehicle.

The (pop)rock singer : a self-taught or skilled artist
Samuel Tomecek
The paper focuses on the relevance of training rock music singers in regard to the most frequently used (pop)rock vocal techniques. Although rock singers originally began as an opposition to an older generation of musicians or they used avant-garde and experimental interpretational practices, rock music gradually developed specific vocal and singing techniques that enriched the existing ones with particular nuances. What had originally belonged to the rock opposition became, over time, a part of pop music, and experimental or unusual singing techniques became a part of the mainstream. Several vocal techniques, such as belting, speech level singing, various types of guttural singing, and the classical bel canto have been used throughout the history of (pop)rock music. Using the examples of particular musicians (e.g. James Hetfield, Dave Grohl, Chris Cornell...), the paper analyses the historical development and relevance of (pop)rock vocal techniques. The author explores how initially self-taught singers and experimenters with untrained voices can learn to improve their vocal techniques. The development of rock styles in the world and the self-taught - trained singer relationship in a musical environment have been accompanied with natural explorations of new singing possibilities. Using a selection of distinct rock singers, this paper puts vocal practices of self-taught and trained rock vocalists into a historical context. It also analyses the formation of a vocal tone, which is demonstrated by the recordings of prominent world, as well as Central-European singers. The article aims to dispel doubts about the (no)need for a vocal training of (pop)rock singers.

WOW at Festival 2018 shines a light on super gender gap
Queensland's oldest and largest super fund has put women's financial independence on the agenda of WOW at Festival 2018, to spark discussion about a national issue affecting gender equality.
As part of the three-day celebration of the lives of women and girls across the Commonwealth of Nations, created as part of the GC2018 Commonwealth Games arts and cultural program, QSuper[1] will raise awareness of the national super gender gap and empower women to improve their own financial future.
With women accounting for more than two-thirds of its membership, QSuper CEO Michael Pennisi said the Fund was proud to partner with WOW at Festival 2018, uniting women and communities in the pursuit of improved wellbeing.
"QSuper strives to improve members' financial wellbeing throughout their whole life, and we are particularly passionate about advocating for the financial and social wellbeing of women who make up a large proportion of our membership," Mr Pennisi said.
"The data[2] clearly shows that women, on average, have much lower retirement security than men. At QSuper we're dedicated to providing Queensland women with better access to education, information and advice throughout their lives to improve their financial wellbeing," he said.
In line with national trends, QSuper data suggests Queensland women are retiring, on average, with around a third less superannuation than men and the gap is widening.
In Brisbane, for example, the retirement gender gap in 2017 was 33 per cent, with men retiring on an average balance of $388,000 while women had an average $263,000. This gap has grown by more than five per cent in the last five years.
"The super gender gap is a national issue that belongs on the agenda of this high-profile women's event. Awareness and education have a critical role to play in empowering women's financial independence and we are proud to partner with WOW at Festival 2018."
QSuper will host a financial literacy workshop Open the Envelopes as part of the Festival program.
"Open the Envelopes will offer WOW attendees the opportunity to talk to QSuper experts about one of life's most difficult subjects — money. The workshop, designed for women but open to all Festival-goers - will provide practical tools and strategies they can use to set themselves up financially. The session will encourage women to be hands on, understand their financial situation and be empowered to make financial decisions to become financially independent," he said.
The Fund's partnership will also include acknowledging and celebrating the work women do every day in their communities to improve the lives of others through sponsoring WOW Bites a series of inspiring 10-minute talks by women and girls from all walks of life. QSuper is also sponsoring the glittering closing night concert, Songs That Made Me.
WOW Executive Producer in Australia Cathy Hunt said financial independence was fundamental to women being able to have control over their lives.
"We are thrilled QSuper is coming on board as a major partner of WOW at Festival 2018," Ms Hunt said.
"By promoting the importance of financial independence and giving women the tools and strategies to improve their own financial future, QSuper is helping us make a tangible difference to the future of women and girls. The growing numbers of women who are homeless later in life reflects a significant weakness in our superannuation system and the earlier women engage in their financial futures, the better.
"The energetic WOW program will be full of fun and laughter, but with serious reflection for women and girls, men and boys from all walks of life, ages and cultures. Finance is such a key part of equality and an important conversation to have, so we are delighted QSuper is on board."
Minister for Women Di Farmer said the Queensland Government was proud to lead efforts to achieve true gender equality across all aspects of community life.
"That's why we released the Queensland Women's Strategy 2016-21 which focuses on four priority areas – participation and leadership, economic security, safety and health and wellbeing," she said.
"We know there are proven benefits for everyone when women play an equal role in the community, and in business, leadership and government.
"To make this a reality we need the support of everyone, from right across the community, and that's why it is so important to have supporters like QSuper come on board.
"We remain committed to improving women's economic security as this is crucial to achieving an equal society."
HRH Duchess of Cornwall is the president of WOW globally, Quentin Bryce is the patron of WOW in Australia. The Principal Partner for the event is the Queensland Government and Major Partners are the Australian Government, Brisbane City Council, Griffith University, the Government of Canada, McCullough Robertson Lawyers, QSuper and the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation.

Home Sports Mourinho Hopes Injury Might Prevent Liverpool Striker, Suarez From Sunday's Clash
Mourinho Hopes Injury Might Prevent Liverpool Striker, Suarez From Sunday's Clash

Jose Mourinho enjoyed a typical moment of mischief on Friday when he suggested a "little injury" might deprive Liverpool of in-form striker Luis Suarez for Sunday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to Chelsea TV, the manager avoided any mention of Suarez's controversial behaviour in the clubs' last meeting, at Anfield in April, when he bit the arm of Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
Instead, he said he hoped the free-scoring Uruguay striker – who was suspended for 10 matches for his dental attack – would not be available to play in the clash of the third and fourth-placed clubs.
"Maybe Suarez has got a little injury," he said, referring to Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City on Thursday. "I'm not asking for a big injury… Just a little injury to stop him playing for four days."
Knowing that Suarez has scored 19 goals in 13 Premier League games this season, Mourinho – who has bemoaned his strikers' profligacy this season – unsurprisingly avoided making comparisons.
His three main strikers Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have scored only five times between them.
"Every game is hard," he said. "The difference is some teams are bigger – bigger name, bigger impact… Man City-Liverpool, Chelsea-Liverpool, Chelsea-Arsenal…
"But every game is difficult. The last two matches we played (at home), Swansea and Crystal Palace: 1-0, 2-1. You have to give everything to win matches."
The Portuguese praised Eto'o, despite him missing two clear chances to net his third Premier League goal of the season.
"He did well," Mourinho said. "I want that feeling that my strikers are working to have chances. I want them to shoot, I want the goalkeeper to save, the ball to hit the post."
Mourinho also said he hoped to see his team awarded more penalties for fouls on tricky Belgian winger Eden Hazard, scorer of Chelsea's goal in a 1-0 win over Swansea on Thursday.
"I think that it happens a lot," he explained. "That Eden Hazard beats people, goes into the box and is not getting penalties in situations like that."
Chelsea will be without suspended Brazilian midfielder Ramires who is likely to be replaced by England's Frank Lampard on an afternoon when captain John Terry is set to make his 600th appearance for the club.
Ivanovic is expected to continue at right back and, rejecting any chance to talk about Suarez, stressed the importance of the fixture.
"It's going to be a very important game for us, one of the deciding games this season," he said. "We must be ready for the big fight. Our team likes to play big games and big challenges."
