Matt Damon: I'm going to be replaced as Bourne – and that's fine
The star of the action franchise has expressed equanimity at the prospect of a younger actor taking over the role, saying it's inevitable and desirable

The actor Matt Damon has declared himself unconcerned about the prospect of being replaced in the action franchise with which he's become synonymous.
Speaking in South Korea ahead of the premiere of the fifth Jason Bourne film, Damon declared himself "totally fine" with someone new taking over the role.
"I'm definitely going to be replaced some day by some new young Jason Bourne," he said. "That happens to everybody and they reboot these things, and that's totally fine."
Damon, now 45, said he found the action sequences more taxing than he had at 29, when shooting the first Bourne film.
"It's difficult when you're 45 compared to when you're 29, but you still have to run as fast as you can. That part was a challenge but to get to revisit the people was wonderful.
"But I said, let's smell the roses and appreciate that we get to be here together, and make sure we have fun."
In 2012, an attempt was made to continue the franchise with Jeremy Renner and Tony Gilroy replacing Damon and Greengrass. But The Bourne Legacy only made marginally more than the 2002 original, and about half the total of 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum.
Damon's remarks come as debate still rages over casting for the next James Bond, despite Daniel Craig not having officially thrown in the towel.

If the hardware has two physical network ports (NIC) only, e.g. eth0 and eth1 for Green & Red, additional virtual LANs for Blue and Orange can be defined and made available. In addition to your IPfire you need a switch, capable of supporting VLANs. The switch has to be configured according the settings in IPfire.
The parent device (XXX_PARENT_DEV) can be a physical NIC such as eth0 or another interface like green in the following example.
This example will create an untagged green network and tagged orange and blue networks on the physical NIC of the green network. If you need to have tagged packets only on the NIC port (some switches cannot handle tagged and untagged on the same port), you will need to use the physical NIC (e.g. eth0) as the PARENT_DEV.
In this file, we configure the appropriate network ranges for the respective interfaces. This will enable the 4 networks in the WUI, too.
Finally, you may want to configure the "new" networks that you created with the VLANs. For example the blue network (blue0) must be enabled for the access to DNS, SMTPs, HTTPs etc., also the appropriate clients must be allowed to access the net.
Here is the description for Access to Blue.


Customers can avail loans for their personal needs such as Children's Education / Marriage, Foreign Travel, Purchase of another Property, Business Expansion, Purchase of Consumer Durables / Vehicles, etc.

Team Solo's Debut Single Is A Real Ear-Worm
Check out the video for 'It Only Makes Me Love You More'...
Team Solo is the latest iteration of Scuta Salamanca's imaginative prowess, an East London musician whose work in various guises has found its way to these digital pages.
Kicking off with a bang, 'It Only Makes Me Love You More' is an addictive slice of left of centre pop, all wonky rhythms and a that crisp vocal.
It's a light-hearted offering, with Team Solo recalling Metronomy's uniquely English pop template, or even vintage artists such as Squeeze.
This new single is being being "under the thumb" he says, before adding: "I'm trapped in love - but perhaps I like it that way..."
Continuing, Team Solo describes the song as "a slightly different take on a relationship. It's about two people that know they are going to be with each other until one of them dies someday - who knows when."
'It Only Makes Me Love You More' will be released on September 25th.

September 26th 2017, is one year anniversary of my working in current workplace, Garuda Indonesia. Many things I've been done here in one year since I started working in Indonesia Flag Carrier company and fortunately have friends that support each other and make me can adapt faster.
In the beginning work here, the boss asked us to direct involve in developing some company manual with short due date. With great team work, we can finished the first job completely to get approval from the authority. It's a such good start, If we looked back, we came from difference company, difference segment. Most of us worked for telco company and I work for manufacturing company. Even we came from difference background actually we came from same and similar education background, industrial engineering and finance management (also 3 of us from same university).
In previous workplace in manufacturing, I feel some "emptiness" in my soul even I have a lot of friends and many task that required our creativity and teamwork, but something is missing. Yes, work life balance is missing. I realized that my time was bought by the company to work longer (overtime seems a must, also Saturday/Sunday some of employee should work). The routine make me feels like a robot, woke up in early morning, go to workplace, back home then sleep, woke up again, and this repeatedly up to 1 year.
I think it was a right decision to choose quit my job at that time (even I can earn more money), and started a new work life. In Garuda, I can balance my time between time for "Dunya" and "Akhirat". The work load not hard as manufacturing company, but airline is one of passion and I can doing routine here without stress as previous. In spare time I can easy read some books to expand knowledge and we can share each other.
After work hour, I've quite enough time to do my hobby or anything I want to do, like attend workshop, study religion, spent time with family or in coffee shop, etc because the travel time between my office and home is shorter. The overtime rarely here, because the job desc of my unit not much hard as like in production floor.
And the important one is the ticket allowance for employee after 1 year work is unlocked! So I can travel all around the world with Garuda's with very affordable price *time to realize one of my dream is to traveling to Europe, Asia, and Indonesia with my family*.
Overall, I'm happy to be work here and I hope can make a great career path till reach the top. Success for us!

Q: Regular expression perl grab block of text Something () {
  X {
    block of text
  }
  Y{
    block of text
  }
  Z{
     block of text
  }
}

I am reading line by line and I wan to get the block of text from 'Something' to the last '{'
I am using the regex like below
/Something {/../}/
But it will get until this:
Something {
  X {
    block of text
  }

Can some one help me to grab the whole block of text with regex?

A: There is Regexp::Common which can match balanced parentheses,
use strict;
use warnings;

use Regexp::Common;

my $re = $RE{balanced}{-parens=>'{}'};
my $s = q[
Something {
  X {
    block of text
  }
  Y{
    block of text
  }
  Z{
     block of text
  }
}
];
print "$1\n" if $s =~ /(Something\s+$re)/;

output
Something {
  X {
    block of text
  }
  Y{
    block of text
  }
  Z{
     block of text
  }
}

A: You can use recursive subpattern for this:
/Something \s* ( { (?: [^{}]* | (?-1) )* } )/x

RegEx Demo
However keep in mind it won't work for escaped curly brackets and will break if you have unbalanced brackets.

A: It looks like you only want lines with no leading space, i.e.
/^Something {/ .. /^}/

Motorsport Study 2016: What Makes Motorsports Attractive?	Brand Perception of Four Motorsport Racing Series Investigated
What makes motorsport attractive to its fans and can four of the leading racing series come up to expectations? These questions are addressed by business researchers of the Technische Universität Braunschweig. With an online survey interrogating over 300 respondents in Germany and England they identified six ideal brand characteristics and compared these with the brand perception of Formula One, Formula E, World Rally Championship, and DTM.
Prof. Dr. David M. Woisetschläger
Dr. Christian Lucas
"Especially in motorsports, efforts to maintain the attractiveness of the sport for its fans are reflected by numerous rule changes. A key motivation for these activities is the necessity to attain awareness and image effects, which are important for sponsors", explains Prof. David Woisetschläger, Chair of Service Management and member of the Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF) at the TU Braunschweig.
According to the Motorsport Study 2016, fan-intimacy, technology leadership and emotionality are the three pivotal image dimensions, which are most important for motorsport fans. Less important are attributes like the extent of risk, the glamour, and the ecological sustainability of the motorsport.
By comparing the fan-ideal with the specific images of the investigated motorracing series, the authors come to the result that none of the four competitions fully reach the ideal of fan-intimacy. Especially the Formula One and Formula E do have bigger shortcomings in this regard, explains Christian Lucas. Although these two racing series obtain by far the best value with regards to the factor technology leadership. "The attractiveness of motorsport to its fans is still improvable when being compared to the worldwide number one football", summarises co-author Lucas.
Lucas explains: "The momentum of improvement must originate from the teams. They can immediately profit from the improvement of the motorsports' brand image." Innovative technologies, in the case of the electro racing series Formula E in combination with the relatively high rated factor ecological sustainability, could be marketed more consequently, provided that the reach as well as involvement of the fans continues to develop positively. According to the authors, the emotionality of the motorsport series also demands to be enhanced further. Therefore the researchers see a great potential for Formula E to attract new target groups for motorsport and increase the financial attractiveness of the racing series.
About the Motorsport Study 2016
The Motorsport Study 2016 originated from a cooperation between the Chair of Services Management of the Institute of Automotive Management and Industrial Production of the TU Braunschweig and LUCAS Drive GmbH.
With the aim to depict the perception of the four big racing series in motorsports from a fans' point of view, this study is based upon a non-representative survey of motorsport fans aged between 13 and 71 years which was conducted in Germany and England simulaneously. The recipients were recruited via online motor sports boards and social media groups. The inquiry took place in February 2016 by the use of a standardised written online questionnaire. In the context of the survey 310 participients were asked to give their personal assessments of relevant independent variables with regards to a self-choosen and a randomly assigned motorsport series (Formula One, Formula E, Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, as well as World Rally Championship). These evaluations were matched against the picture of an ideal motorsport from a fans' perspective.

I think I'm done trying.
1st guy was a third parent and made me feel like poo, was a stalker, I broke up with him.
Follow up with a guy who tried to make me the other woman, found out he was married.
Next guy was a man-child.
Next guy was trying to make me into the other woman, he had a girlfriend.
I've broken it off every time this stuff came up. I had no tolerance for it. It's not even worth my time. I refuse because I know I am worth more than that.
I've done the LoA stuff, I've held out hope, I've thought positive thoughts. I've thought surely there's one guy out there who is respectful and loving, for me. I've even done my best to treat myself better and be better to myself and understand I deserve better, so that the mirror would be the person who would treat me like a person. I've done my best to not become the bitter old hag who is always angry.
Right now I have someone trying to pass me off on someone and I'm just not interested either way. I feel defeated and just...go about the rest of my life by myself. I got myself this far and I just don't have it in me to put up with another round of **.
I figure all I want to know is why. I probably already know. Maybe I just need validation or what, I don't know, I'm curious as to what others think.
ragdoll, there are a lot of respectful, loving guys out there, you say you've tried the LOA stuff, you have to have a belief that it works, it's not enough to just say what you want.Make a list of what you want in a guy, tell yourself that when the time is right you will meet, then put it away, and know that it will come to pass, don't dwell on it, in the meantime spend time alone, take care of yourself, it's good that you realize your own worth.


Devadas First Look: Sriram Adittya has brought two superstars Nagarjuna and Nani in a film together and fans can't stay calm.
Filmmaker Sriram Adittya is making all the noise on the social media for bringing the two A-listers of Telugu cinema Nagarjuna and Nani in a same film. The ambitious project is titled Devadas and is now trending on the Twitter. It also features Rashmika Mandanna and Akanksha Singh in important roles. On Tuesday, Nani and Nagarjuna released the first look poster of the film. In the picture, both Nani and Nagarjuna are wasted, while the latter passed away with a liquor bottle and a gun in his hand.
Going by the first look, we can deduce that Nagarjuna is playing an alcoholic gangster in the film while Nani plays a doctor. The characters are named Deva and Das, hence the title Devadas.
Devadas is bankrolled by Vyjayanthi Movies and is slated to release on September 27 this year, as mentioned on the poster. There is a lot of buzz around the movie as two biggies have joined hands for the first time.
In a recent interview, Nagarjuna spoke at lengths about Devadas. He said, "This new film that I am doing with Nani is very much in the Rajkumar Hirani territory. I play a gangster and Nani plays my doctor. It is a very warm-hearted funny script. And I have a feeling director Sriram Adittya will make something special out of it."
Also, Devadas was the title of Nagarjuna's father Akkineni Nageswara Rao's hit film.

European Wins Western States 100
Americans lose title for the first time
On Sunday, Spain's Kilian Jornet became the first non-American man to win California's Western States 100, perhaps the most prestigious ultra race in the United States. Jornet ran 15:34, finishing four minutes ahead of Western States novice Mike Wolfe after taking a two-mile detour. Wolfe, from Bozeman, Montana, was the only American man to finish among the top five. Jornet has emerged as the world's top ultra trail runner and was competing at Western States for only the second time. In 2010, he led the race through mile 80 but became dehydrated and eventually finished third. Earlier this month, Jornet set a speed record up Mount Olympus, in Greece. An American man has won Western States every year since it was founded in 1974. Alaska's Geoff Roes set the course record of 15:07 in 2010 and, until he dropped out at 55 miles this year, was undefeated in each of the eight 100-mile races he had contested. Ellie Greenwood, of Canada, beat top Americans Nikki Kimball and Kami Semick to win her first title in 17:55.

"Adriaan helped us tremendously to focus all efforts on CE approval. In that stage we needed to conduct clinical studies that not only answered the demands of regulators, but that would also demonstrate the benefits to users and patients"
"The advice that Adriaan gave us on our clinical development program was very important. It is always a great benefit to have people on the board with specific knowledge"


How To Grow Your Business? Ask Yourself Some Difficult Questions.
This was my thinking for many years as a keynote speaker in the corporate and healthcare space. I admit I liked the attention, traveling across North America doing keynotes to large audiences in the healthcare space. (I live with Type 1 Diabetes, and host an inspirational online TV show called "The Sugar Free Shawn" Show). Conference planners, marketing managers of pharma and medical companies kept me busy year-round with speaking requests.
In addition, there were the corporate speaking engagements to sales and senior management teams on innovative thinking, brand loyalty and much more.
In short, life was good, or at least that was what I was telling myself.
But things were far from good. I was burning myself out, while not building a sustainable business, or helping my clients solve their challenges.
I was burning myself out.
I was not building long-term solutions for clients.
This could be not be sustained.
But how could I leave behind such great opportunities, and build a sustainable business?
It was time to have a conversation with the person that was holding me back — me.
As I thought through what needed to change, the following three questions helped me immensely.
1) What did I want?
As a coach, "what do you want?" is often the first question I ask of clients. Now it was time for me to return to answering that question for myself.
Stop trading time for money.
Working with fewer companies/people, but establishing a deeper more meaningful relationship with each.
It was time for me to see a new vision, and work daily to make it happen.
2) What did my clients want?
Just asking these questions got them thinking longer term, and with a higher ROI.
The real goal was not having me speak to their sales teams and give them some tips, but rather coach them on a long-term basis and support them on reaching their goals.
Now both the client and I were working together on the same goal.
The answer also got both of us thinking differently about solutions, and not just going back to the "hire a speaker for a day" model. They wanted deeper solutions that added bigger value to their business.
3) How do I start with the new vision?
Ten years ago, I read the amazing book by Michael Gerber called "The E-Myth". The book was focused on challenges that entrepreneurs face in building their business.
I loved that idea, problem was I had no idea how to do that.
Here are the first three things I did to start my new business vision.
Find examples of other people that have sustainable businesses and learn from them. I reached out to people like Michael Port, Elizabeth Marshall, Jenny Blake and Chris Taylor and asked them the questions I wanted answers to, and applied them.
Return to a beginner's mind. It's easy to revert back to what we already know and are comfortable doing. For me, that was doing a lot of one off speaking gigs. I needed to forget what I already knew, and be an active and engaged student in learning a new model for me.
Take immediate action. Instead for reading, talking and planning it was time to jump in and experiment. There will never be a perfect time to launch, and the real learning happens while doing.
When I launched my online TV Show, I didn't know what I was doing, but I started. Show them, don't tell them.
I've decided to leap again this time, and find a new sustainable way forward.

Jazz is the name of a form of music that arose in the black communities in the southern United States during the early 20th century and which was conceived from the beginning as a mixture of musical influences from various countries and cultures. But its deepest historical roots date to the music of daily life on the plantations, and more directly to the blues and ragtime genres.
The multicultural environment of the southern United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly Louisiana, provided the setting for the development of this music that could be considered part of the musical complex of the plantation: a large population of black slaves that worked on the plantations with their important African musical traditions; the influences of European cultural heritage, particularly French and Spanish; and the nearby presence of Spanish-speaking countries with their own musical traditions (Mexico and the Caribbean, especially Cuba). It is also important to remember that New Orleans, in Louisiana, was a French colony from 1718 to 1803 (the year it was sold to the United States) and was also controlled by Spain for 38 years, from 1762 to 1800. Also, many of the African slaves who had come to the southern United States had come through the Caribbean, which was the port of entry for the slave ships coming from Africa.
For all of these reasons, there were musical traditions in New Orleans and the southern United States that were associated with plantation life, and many of the songs and dances that were part of the daily life of the African slaves, including songs they sung while working, songs sung at funerals, songs that were part of religious worship, and others that were part of playful activities. These slaves were also strongly influenced by the European music and dances of the era (the French quadrille, the waltz, etc.) and Latino music in general from Cuba and Mexico. Forms such as the habanera, calinda, contredanse and fandango were common parts of the music of New Orleans in that era. It could be said that, in cultural terms, the southern United States was an extension of the Caribbean, or at least that the musical forms associated with plantation life in the Caribbean, which had strong African influences, were also found on the plantations in the southern United States.
In the second half of the 18th century, blues and ragtime arose in this cultural setting. Ragtime roots include Mexican music, as well as Latino traditions, the danza and the habanera. Jelly Roll Morton (one of the first ragtime musicians of the late 18th century) referred to jazz's Latino elements as the "Spanish tinge" and considered it an essential part of jazz. Elements of Caribbean and Latin American music can be found in many early ragtime pieces, such as those by Louis Maurice Gottschalk, Neil Moret, Scott Joplin, Louis Chauvin, W. C. Handy and Sigmund Romberg.
Jazz emerged in the 1920s and was derived from ragtime and the blues. But at the same time, Latino music was at its peak of popularity in U.S. cities. Latino-Caribbean music was very popular in the United States during the early 20th century, including the rumba, conga, samba, mambo, the chachachá, the tango and the bossa nova. As a result, the influence these traditions had on jazz was fundamental from the beginning and Latino dance music rhythms were combined with jazz melodies. At an instrumental level, the core of the jazz band was accompanied by percussion instruments from Latino music, such as the conga, kettle and bongo drums.
It can be argued that jazz and the Caribbean are inextricably connected in a double sense: not only because Latino-Caribbean music had an "essential" influence on jazz from its very origins, but also in the sense that many elements of the music of Caribbean plantations were present on the plantations of the southern United States and these traditions were later seen in ragtime and the blues, and later yet in jazz.

Enough is enough. Paris, Sharm El-Sheikh, Istanbul, Jakarta. Isis is the global crucible of terrorism and must be stopped using all means available. After the Paris attacks last November, the US and its allies stepped up the bombing of Isis targets in Syria. Unquestionably, the campaign has had some effect and Isis is not the unstoppable force it seemed to be a year ago. Ramadi was taken by Iraqi forces a few weeks ago, and reports are filtering through of disillusionment and desertion amongst the caliphate's fighters in Syria. That's why some experts, such as General John Allen, Obama's former special envoy to Syria, are calling for the West to finish off the job by deploying its own troops on the ground. After all, no one seriously believes that the war against Isis can be won from the air alone or by using existing local forces. But a judicious and limited use of Western ground forces could crush Isis in its vital nerve centres, after which local troops trained up by the West would take over security, and a political and diplomatic process to find a long-term solution for the region would begin in earnest. But to others such as Ken Livingstone, who took on Gen. Allen in this debate, such a move would be to fall into a trap. Isis wants to entangle the West in another war that will boost its drive to recruit jihadists across the Muslim world. And even if Isis were defeated, no doubt something just as bad would take its place. As many as 15 Syrian-based Islamist groups are reportedly standing ready to fill the vacuum and would happily absorb what's left of the die-hard Isis jihadis. Let's also not forget the dangers of mission creep, which embroiled the West in years of conflict and 'nation-building' in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, there are no easy or obvious solutions to this complex crisis, but there are better ways to deal with Isis than sending in the troops – such as starving it of its funding from oil and illicit goods. As for terror attacks, we should keep things in proportion. Whatever the scaremongers say, Isis is not an existential threat to the West. Intelligence and vigilance, not military adventurism, are the key to our security. Will deploying Western ground troops diminish the pernicious threat of Isis? Or play into the organisation's hands by encouraging more jihadis to sign up to its violent creed? Speaking for the motion in this Intelligence Squared debate from February 2016 were President Obama's former special envoy for the global coalition to fight Isis General John Allen, and Associate Director at The Henry Jackson Society Douglas Murray. Speaking against the motion were Foreign policy analyst for MSNBC, journalist, and author Rula Jebreal and former Mayor of London and current co-convenor of Labour's foreign policy review Ken Livingstone. The debate was chaired by BBC World News presenter Nik Gowing.

A Brief History of Skiing
Although there is archeological evidence for the shred in both Russia and China around 5000-8000 years ago, scientists suggest these were just shot skis and weren't used on the mountain much. Maybe the reason the Scandi children felt so entitled to come and trash the resort recently is because skiing is widely believe to have originated in their homeland. The 'Sami' were the only indigenous people of North Scandinavia and are credited with being the first to drop cliffs not bombs. Cave paintings show the Sami equipped with bows, axes and other weapons atop of long planks under their feet. These primitive paintings are believed to be the earliest known drafts of Echo front covers.
Skiing started spreading around the world with yet more cave paintings and carvings showing various cultures getting pitted. In 1300 BC, Norse mythology announced Ullr and Skade as the God and Goddess of Skiing: one would assume they were pretty stoked. Around this time, skis were generally used to hunt and to get around in snowy climates, hopefully not on the roads though.
A fair while later, during a period of civil war in Norway circa 1206 AD, the infant heir to the throne was trapped inside enemy territory and needed to be retrieved. The Birkebeiners (one of the warring political parties) sent some absolute shredders over to recover the child. Thorstein Skevla and Skjervald Skrukka went on a colossal overnight tour in a savage blizzard, bringing the 2 year old home over the Dovre Mountains. Since 1932, an annual race has been held over the same route where competitors carry a 3.5kg backpack to represent the weight of the baby prince who went on to become King Haakon. All this is to say that in 1206 AD, backcountry became cool.
Around the 18th century, people realised that skiing is pretty fun and so started doing it recreationally. Jump forward one hundred years and we have Olaf Rye, the first recognised park rat. Olaf was actually a highly distinguished Norwegian/Danish military officer but had somewhat of a penchant for getting sendy. On a brisk day in 1808, somewhere near a church, Olaf nailed the worlds first recorded ski jump at 9.5 metres. Potentially more historic though, was his post on the seasonaire page the next day stating that his jacket had been taken from a bar that night and he had lost his Gopro with the footage.
Skip ahead another hundred years or so and freestyle skiing starting becoming trendy. However, back then it was known as hot-dogging for some reason. This included moguls, jumps and of course, ski ballet. Whilst the latter is sadly no longer with us (but hopefully due a comeback), moguls are still supposedly popular. Of course, freestyle in the form of; jumps, park, freeride and those fourteen year olds who tweak their sweet airs as they blindly fly back onto the piste, is bigger than ever.
Oh, and some time in the 60s, an angsty teenager who couldn't ski figured he would just skateboard in the winter - but we won't talk about that.

How To Make Snow


With new parking standards having been in place for several weeks now, and students calves shaping up, the situation seems to be coming along nicely.
There still seems to be reluctance from students to ride the shuttle.
This may have to do with the fact that students fear the route it takes may not suit their schedule.
Every time I have been a guest on the shuttle, which is when I can possibly catch it since I really hate walking, the sweet driver has always been more than happy to take me to wherever my class is; all you have to do is ask.
The end of the complaining from students about having to walk a few minutes to class on our quaint, scenic campus should soon happen.
However, it's easy to understand how students could be upset at the fact that commuters can park in parking spaces at dorms and apartments, but campus residents can't park in their spaces at classes and in parking lots.
I envy incoming freshmen who will come onto our pedestrian friendly campus and will not know it as ever being anything different.
Since becoming a recent commuter myself, I can honestly say, I wish this had happened while I was a freshman. I would have grown some thicker skin for the winter and some better leg muscles for the summer.
In the past, resident students have been guilty of driving just a few blocks to class.
If this new rule had been enacted sooner, students would have saved a lot of gas.
With new lots coming soon, hundreds of more parking spaces will be opening up for commuters, students and visitors.
The university's goal is to move parking to the perimeter of the campus and have the core be pedestrian-friendly, highlighting the landscaping and well-kept architecture.
Parking lots will be constructed along a relocated Crusader Way that will be moved to ensure students do not have to cross the busy roadway to get to class.
A commuter parking lot will be constructed between 11 Avenue and the railroad track. King Street is going to be made into a pedestrian mall of sorts that will go beside the stadium and can be resourceful during events.
Overall, the campus is going to shape up to be a pedestrian-friendly campus that will be so beautiful and easy to travel to class through that students won't even mind the distance.

Statistics Canada's April Ag Trade Data
Canada Markets
6/8/2021 | 1:16 PM CDT

@CliffJamieson
Statistics Canada data shows 197,070 metric tons of barley imported into Canada in the first nine months of the crop year (black line), well above the same period in 2019-20 (brown line) and the three-year average (blue line). At the same time, April exports of barley were shown at 522,848 mt with stocks destined to reach a record low. (DTN graphic by Cliff Jamieson)
Canada's overall trade balance improved in April, with total monthly imports of all goods falling by 4.7% while exports fell by 1%. Canada's trade balance moved from a deficit of $1.3 billion in March to a $594 million surplus in April, with both import and export statistics largely affected by shutdowns by the vehicle manufacturers due to the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips.
This marks the third trade surplus in the four months of 2021, while the smallest surplus of the three months.
Exports from the broad, farm, fishing and intermediate food products was reported at $4.037 billion in April, the lowest in three months although sales have remained relatively steady in the four months of 2021, while is up 15.8% from the same month in 2020.
Each month we look at various import and export data for the grains and grain products, with a focus on crops where weekly Canadian Grain Commission data fails to provide a complete picture of trade.
This month's report shows 179,073 metric tons of lentils exported, the largest monthly volume shipped in five months. While monthly statistics shows shipments to 55 countries in April, shipments to Turkey and India accounted for 49.5% of the total volume. The 46,765 mt shipped to India was the largest volume shipped since November 2020. Cumulative exports total 1.763 million metric tons, down 7% from the same period in 2019-20 and 2.5% higher than the five-year average. This volume represents 65% of the current 2.7 mmt forecast, which signals the expectation for heavy shipments during the last quarter of the year. In 2019-20, 965,000 mt were shipped in the final three months of the crop year.
Dry pea exports totaled 278,150 mt in April, up from the previous month and the lowest volume shipped in April in five years. China continues to dominate this movement, with 80.6% of this volume shipped in this direction. The remaining volume was split between 54 other countries. Cumulative exports are reported at 2.996 mmt, 3% higher than the same period last crop year and 14.6% higher than the five-year average. In May, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada increased its forecast for annual exports by 100,000 mt to 3.9 mmt, while the current pace of movement represents 76.8% of this forecast, remaining on the steady pace needed to reach this target.
Chickpea exports totaled 23,953 mt in April, which is the largest monthly volume shipped since November 2017. Pakistan continues as the single largest destination, while both Syria and Lebanon were shipped a volume that represented close to one-third of the month's shipments. Year-to-date, 105,482 mt has been shipped, 28.5% higher than last crop year and 5.1% higher than the five-year average. Cumulative exports account for 91.7% of the current AAFC target of 115,000 mt, well-ahead of the steady pace needed to reach this forecast.
Exports of mustard in April totaled 10,690 mt, down slightly from the previous month, but still the second-highest volume shipped this crop year and the largest April shipments seen in three years. A reported 46% of this volume was shipped to the U.S., while the second-largest buyer continues to be Belgium with 16.7% of the total shipped. During the first eight months of the crop year, 84,223 mt has been shipped, up 0.5% from the same period last crop year and down 4.7% from the five-year average. In May, AAFC increased its forecast for exports of mustard by 2,000 mt to 112,000 mt, while the current flow is on track to reach this forecast.
Statistics Canada reported the country's canary seed exports at 13,949 mt in April, up slightly from the previous month. Mexico and Columbia remain the top two destinations, with 35.8% of the volume shipped to these two countries. Cumulative exports total 119,739 mt, while is close to equal to the same period in 2019-20 while 6.2% higher than the five-year average. The May AAFC forecast included a 5,000 mt increase in canary seed exports to 160,000 mt, consistent with the previous crop year, while exports remain on the steady pace needed to reach this forecast.
Barley exports were reported at 522,848 mt in April, by far the largest monthly volume shipped this crop year and the largest monthly volume shipped in many crop years. China remains the top buyer, with 97% of the volume shipped to this country. Cumulative exports total 2.976 mmt, 88% higher than the same period last crop year and 104% higher than the five-year average. In May, AAFC increased its export forecast from 3.750 mmt to 4.2 mmt, which includes the export of barley products such as malt. This would indicate record exports if achieved.
At the same time, imports of barley have increased this crop year, as seen on the attached chart, to help ease tight supplies in the feed market. A reported 31,501 mt was imported in April, down slightly from the previous month, but still close to the largest volume imported since April 2015. Year-to-date imports total 197,070 mt, while AAFC increased its forecast in May from 180,000 mt to 270,000 mt, which could be exceeded, based on available supplies for import.
Corn exports in April totaled 228,254 mt, the largest monthly volume shipped since May 2018. Most of this volume was shipped to Europe, with Spain, Ireland and the U.K. shipped 91% of the total volume. Cumulative exports for the crop year total 834,249 mt, up 144% from the same period last crop year and 5.9% higher than the five-year average. In May, AAFC revised lower its forecast for corn exports by 200,000 mt to 1.2 mmt, while the current pace of movement is slightly ahead of the steady pace needed to reach this forecast.
Soybean exports were reported at 111,055 mt in April, the lowest volume shipped in 24 months. The largest volumes were shipped to Japan, Indonesia and China, which accounted for 63.4% of the total volume. Missing in this month's data was Iran, which has been a top destination, if not the top destination, for 11 consecutive months. Total exports are seen at 3.885 mmt, up 42% from the same period last crop year and 6.2% higher than the five-year average. In May, AAFC increased its forecast for Canadian soybean exports by 200,000 mt to 4.6 mmt, while the current pace of movement is well-ahead of the steady pace needed to reach this forecast.
Canola oil exports were reported at 318,802 mt in April, down from the previous month, but still the second-highest volume shipped this crop year. Cumulative exports total 2.565 mmt, up 1.5% from last year and 6.7% higher than the three-year average.
Canola meal exports total 452,457 mt, down from the previous month and slightly below the four-month moving average. Exports of meal total 4.018 mmt, up 9.8% from the same period last crop year and 14.8% higher than the three-year average.
Ethanol imports in April totaled 99 million litres, the second largest volume imported this calendar year. January-through-April imports total 328 million litres, down 6.6% from last year and 7.7% below the three-year average.

Figure Review
Kongou
I just learned about Kantai Collection earlier this year since I kept on seeing figures based from it. Kantai Collection is basically an online card game featuring cute girls dressed as Japanese battleships.
Good Smile Company already announced their first (correct me if I'm wrong here) "Kan Colle" figure – Shimakaze and now Max Factory is doing the same by announcing the 1/8th scale figure rendition of Kongou. Figure looks really good and I love Kongou's facial expression. Slated later this year September 2014, ¥13,704.

Kongou (金剛, "indestructible", named for Mount Kongou) was a warship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I and World War II. She was the first battlecruiser of the Kongō class, among the most heavily armed ships in any navy when built. Her designer was the British naval engineer George Thurston, and she was laid down in 1911 at Barrow-in-Furness in Britain by Vickers Shipbuilding Company. Kongō was the last Japanese capital ship constructed outside Japan. She was formally commissioned in 1913, and patrolled off the Chinese coast during World War I.
Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん Kantai Korekushon, lit. "Combined Fleet Collection"), abbreviated as KanColle (艦これ KanKore), is a Japanese free-to-play online social card game developed by Kadokawa Games. The game was launched on April 23, 2013. A television anime series and PlayStation Vita game has been announced.

I've spent a few days to get in the game, what a hassle X<
At least I can buy the figure without silly lottery.
It's a really pretty figure, I love her dress so much (。⌒∇⌒)。

Haha! Haven't tried the game myself but based on what I'm hearing from friends, game's kinda good. And yeah – Kan Colle characters are very well designed that they look super great when transformed into a scale figure.

How to treat your vegetables like meat
Green is the new green

Use these techniques to make veggies so good, even the meat-lovers will be salivating.
Victoria Day long weekend is about to kick off here in Canada, and Memorial Day in the United States is up next. It's the season of backyard barbecues and the aroma of grilled meat wafting through the neighborhood… but wait! What if you don't eat meat? Does that mean you'll miss out on the traditional gastronomic pleasures of the first long weekend of summer?
Not at all! There are many ways in which to elevate vegetables to a position of glory, one so delicious and decadent that the meat-eaters may even look your way and wonder why they didn't choose the same.
The secret to cooking fabulous vegetables, as we've mentioned before on TreeHugger, is to treat them like meat (though committed herbivores will likely argue this is the way veggies are meant to be treated). For centuries, meat has been the primary focus on the table, with vegetables playing second fiddle, but now it's time to reverse that pattern.
No. 1: Dry-rub with spices.
Vegetables can handle strong, assertive spices. Forget the notion that all you need is a touch of salt and pepper (but it can be lovely, too). Mix up a harissa spice mix, use some za'atar, grab a barbecue powder, and rub it into whole heirloom carrots, cauliflower chunks, slabs of zucchini, and mushrooms.
No. 2: Marinate.
Vegetables absorb flavors beautifully. If marinated ahead of time, you'll have no work to prepare them for the table post-cooking. I learned about the power of vegetable marinades from Madhur Jaffrey, whose newest cookbook, Vegetarian India, features a spectacular recipe for Punjabi-spiced cauliflower. It undergoes a two-hour marinade in spices, lemon, and coriander, followed by a hot sear in the oven and is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten.
No. 3: Brine.
Not a technique that one usually associates with vegetables, brining can soften the tough center of vegetables that may ordinarily take too long to cook on the grill, such as radishes, beets, cabbage, and carrots. Bon Appétit recommends "a brine of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and aromatics infuses veg with character while jump-starting the cooking process. The result? They come off the grill just al dente."
No. 3: Grill or smoke.
Grill your vegetables indirectly at low heat over charcoal and woodchips for a glorious smoky flavor. Potatoes, celery root, broccoli, fennel, and carrots are especially good for this, although I don't think you can go wrong with smoke flavor, ever. A halved head of Romaine is particularly delectable on the grill, served as a Caesar salad afterward. If pressed for time, forego the woodchips and grill as usual with plenty of olive oil and salt.
Eat plain, sandwiched between soft bread, or turn into a salad by chopping and drizzling with balsamic and more olive oil. A handful of feta and nuts takes it to the next level.

Home nieuws Australia and Israel are two sides of the colonial legacy which undermines...
Australia and Israel are two sides of the colonial legacy which undermines Palestinian rights
Ramona Wadi
Middle East Monitor / July 30, 2020
Like other countries prioritising international consensus and diplomatic relations with Israel simultaneously, Australia is trying to square a colonial circle. Whilst not averse to promoting the two-state paradigm and expressing "concern" at the forthcoming annexation, Australia also supports Israel against the International Criminal Court's possible investigation into war crimes committed by Israeli officials. Much like the US and its "shared values" rhetoric, "Australian values" — let's call them colonial legacies — are shaping the discourse in Australia regarding overt support for Israel and rhetorical afterthought for Palestine.
Earlier this month, Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne issued a statement expressing concern over the forthcoming Israeli annexation within the context of the two-state compromise. "The focus needs to be on a return to direct and genuine negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians for a durable and resilient peace agreement, as soon as possible," Payne declared.
On Wednesday, Sky News host and former political adviser Chris Kenny echoed the two-state rhetoric while stating that UN institutions "spend an inordinate amount of time" seeking to discredit Israel at an international level. Kenny also praised the Australian government for taking a stance against the ICC investigations into Israeli war crimes: "Good on Australia for standing up on the sides of our values there."
Values, however, are ambiguous whereas rights are not. For sure, the latter have been manipulated by governments and international institutions but, unlike "values", rights are enshrined within the framework of international law. Moreover, national values are influenced by different factors, including a country's historical narrative. Australia, which considers itself to be multicultural, has a history of oppressing the indigenous population which influences the current politics of dispossession. Recent news indicates water deprivation among Aboriginal communities in Australia, with researchers pointing out that they are excluded "from accessing water and from participating in the water economy." This is a "value" which Australia shares with Israel, the latter having prioritised water theft as part of its colonial enterprise and ongoing plunder of Palestine's natural resources.
With such blatant discrepancies when it comes to values and rights, Australia's insistence upon the two-state framework must be read within the colonial context and experience. The two-state framework protects colonialism, hence the linking of diplomatic negotiations to Australian values. Likewise, taking a stance against the ICC investigations into war crimes is not about the bureaucratic failings of the court, but rather about ensuring that colonialism is not exposed as the crime that it undoubtedly is.
Australia's ties with the Zionist colonial enterprise were seen as early as 1947, when it was the first country to vote in favour of the UN Partition Plan. Diplomatic relations with Israel were established in 1949 and the Australian government's intention to move its embassy to Jerusalem is framed by the two-state compromise: "when practical, in support of, and after the final status determination of, a two-state solution."
The absence of indigenous rights stands out when considering Australia-Israel relations, a reflection of how Palestinian rights are also trampled upon in the international arena. Rhetoric means nothing if not accompanied by political action, and all that the Palestinians have got out of the UN is mere symbolism. It is, after all, the two-state framework that provides common ground for the non-recognition of Palestinian rights by refusing decolonisation. Australia does indeed share values with Israel; it too is a political embarrassment which pushes a colonial agenda in Palestine.
