The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of economies globally. Here in Africa, the crisis has drastically impacted food security. Supply chains, food and nutrition security, as well as current and future production functions, have been negatively impacted by a host of factors related to the Covid-19 crisis.
Food supply and food security is a basic human need and a basic requirement for survival in difficult times. Several studies of food policies, food security and nutrition outcomes in Africa seem to show that lack of access to sufficient nutritious food leads to health problems including under-nourishment, immune deficiencies, stunting, illnesses and higher child mortality rates.
The onset of the Covid-19 crisis has exponentially increased the continent's food security problems. Food supply chain distribution networks have been severely constrained. The numerous negative impacts of the health crisis are having a compound effect on all facets of food security, including food production, safety and distribution.
Regional lockdowns, curfews, closures of markets, restrictions on border crossings and movement limitation measures (while necessary for public health and safety concerns), hamper the functioning of the agricultural sector, and Small to Medium Enterprise (SMEs) that make up the continent's supply chain backbone.
These restrictions exacerbate food insecurity and nutritional deficits issues across Africa, affecting:
• Agriculture: The inability to perform normal farming and agricultural processes has led to crop losses and food shortages. This affects communities.
• Manufacturing: The manufacturing sector across all industries, including food production, has been hit hard. The Covid-19 outbreak has led to business interruptions, which have had a domino effect on economies: business owners suffer economic difficulties, which then lead to employee cut-backs, job losses and even complete shutdowns of companies. Job losses then lead to communities suffering financial struggles impeding access to sufficient and nutritious food.
• Distribution: A major impediment to food security is limited distribution options. The Covid-19 pandemic has interrupted all aspects of the food supply chain, including the logistics related to food handling and distribution. Even when food supplies are available, there are barriers for it reaching consumers, most especially due to movement restrictions imposed to reduce the spread of the virus.
While the Covid-19 health crisis has had an immeasurable adverse effect on food security in Africa, it is vital to remember that food scarcity was an existing issue pre-crisis. The crisis is amplifying and aggravating prevalent problems such as severe poverty, poor infrastructure, insufficient investment and resources, skills and knowledge deficiencies; and ineffectual policies related to the food and agriculture sectors in Africa. Additionally, it highlights the need to strengthen Africa's agricultural and food manufacturing industries to reduce the reliance on food imports from outside the continent.
The inability to import food due to logistic restrictions is causing further shortages as, according to The World Economic Forum (WEF), Africa is more dependent on externally sourced food imports than locally manufactured food.
African economies need to urgently examine solutions to help overcome the critical issue of food insecurity. This will require a collaborative approach by African governments, public and private sectors; and pooling of resources and sharing of knowledge aimed at alleviating the severe food insecurity situation.
The African Economic Research Consortium (AERC), has undertaken numerous research projects and addressed this issue on several fora, including recently at the Senior Policy Seminar (held earlier this year in Abuja, Nigeria) on the theme "Agriculture and Food Policies for Better Nutrition Outcomes in Africa". At the seminar, The Abuja Declaration, was adopted by senior policymakers from around Africa as an affirmation of their support of agriculture and food policies for improved nutrition outcomes in Africa.
AERC has implemented several activities focusing on Agriculture and Food Policies, most recently under the Analysis of the Impact of Agricultural, Food and Nutrition Policies on Nutrition Outcomes in Africa (AFPON) programme. This project seeks to contribute to the recent interest in leveraging agricultural development for improved nutrition by exploring the link between agricultural policies and nutrition outcomes in Africa.
The research linked agricultural policies to nutrition outcomes such as stunting, wasting, anemia, child mortality, micro nutrient deficiencies, obesity and malnutrition, among others. The study also attempted to understand, among other things, how gender access to productive agricultural resources, such as land, affect the nutrition of individuals and households in sub-Saharan African countries, how agricultural productivity, agricultural extension and advisory services affect nutrition outcomes; and establishing the policies and practices that would best improve food security and nutrition status.
AERC has also looked at the fragility of growth in African economies, health financing in Africa, climate change and growth in Africa, why poverty persist in Africa, the continent's lack of growth, – inequality or poor redistribution or inclusive growth policies – as well as youth unemployment.
Furthermore, the Africa rising narrative seems to be fading: Why? It is due to lack of capacity to sustain the policy environment to its conclusive end coupled with weak institutions that cannot define the appropriate incentive structures for sustainability.
The observation across African countries is an exacerbation of the already acute lack of food security, primarily due to extreme poverty, resulting from institutional and policy failure. Indeed, there are many potential reasons why supposedly well-crafted policies often fail to be adopted, and even when they are adopted, why they fail to achieve their desired objectives.
It has been noted that policymakers often place excessive emphasis on "best practices," at the expense of other factors such as commitment, coordination and cooperation, which are deemed plausible determinants of a successful policy. Also, the preponderance of power asymmetry (the unequal distribution of power) in the political arena contributes to policy failure as it facilitates resource diversion – through mechanisms such as clientele – away from contributing to policy success.
Successful policy implementation can, however, be achieved by bringing about change in the incentives, preferences and beliefs of key players such as elites, citizens and international actors, as well as by creating space for contestability and participation. This may be achieved, as well, by reaching beyond institutional forms to address institutional functions – over and above capacity building – to alleviate power asymmetry, and beyond the rule of law to address the role of law.
To succeed in overcoming African food security challenges, research and implementation need to be employed with regard to factors such as:
• Agricultural, farm input and farming credit policies
• Agricultural and food manufacture education systems
• Food and nutrition policies
• Government financial aid policies related to agriculture and nutrition
• Local support and advisory services for the agriculture and food industries
• Food and socio-economic aid to communities during and after the Covid-19 crisis
For a robust and impactful change, the following need to form part of the policy matrix when it comes to Africa's food, agriculture, and nutrition goals:
• Supply Chain Protection: Emphasis on protecting supply chains from any form of disruptions in the short term. This is especially so with countries going through lockdown, and the need for facilitated border crossing through a coordinated approach of testing and social distancing measures being employed.
• Protection of Private Investment: Outright measures to protect private investment – they will be crucial for now and the future recovery process.
• African Market Development: Outright measures to protect and develop markets – they will be needed in the medium term for speedy economic recovery.
• Fiscal Space Building Efforts: African economies should re-negotiate external debt serving to postponement for least a year. This will preserve liquidity/expenditure and support a build-up of fiscal space that will assist most economies in Africa to ride over the current shocks.
• Food Reserves: A key way in which African economies can build resilience to mitigate and manage shocks is to create buffers – with one vital safeguard being strategic food reserves.
As previously emphasized to policymakers in discussions on this subject, Africa's short-term crisis relates to food self-sufficiency, and the current heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture is a precarious practice. Food reserves will be required as a buffer to support adjustment in times of drought and subsequent famines that put pressure on fiscal reserves, as well as for other crisis situations.
• Digital Technology and Innovation: The use of digital technology and the digital space to move enterprise activities forward. So far, in most countries, the deployment and use of digital technology in the financial services, government e-services and online learning has supported most socio-economic activities. This is still a 4th Industrial Revolution narrative, but it has become useful and applicable in the current pandemic.
Thus far, it has been used by governments on targeted social protection programs. In successful countries, we have seen a range of services driven by a financial services revolution, enabling governments to implement e-governance strategies to better provide a range of services and opportunities to beneficiaries of public programs, business, taxpayers and investors, as well as dynamiting the private sector.
At the same time, even as it contributes to strengthening state capacity, the digital revolution makes new demands on the state in order to consolidate current and future successes: some of which include improving in-country and cross-continental connectivity, ensuring a fully interoperable electronic payment platform and implementing measures to strengthen consumer protection. Finally, the focus for the future is on a transition to a fully digital identification (e-ID) system across all African economies. This way, economies' future economic and institutional recovery from the pandemic and other negative outcomes will be driven by the 4th Industrial Revolution – with firmly entrenched roots.
As stated by Albert Zeufack, World Bank Chief Economist for Africa: "In addition to containment measures, we have seen that in responding to Covid-19, countries are opting for a combination of emergency fiscal and monetary policy actions – with many central banks in the region taking important actions such as cutting interest rates and providing extraordinary liquidity assistance.
"However, it is important to ensure that fiscal policy builds in space for social protection interventions, especially targeting workers in the informal sector, and sows the seed for the future resilience of our economies."
Long term and sustainable remedies include capacity building at institutional, regional, country and continental levels. Such capacity building includes research and training that drives credible and reliable evidence-based economic policy making related to food, agriculture and nutrition in Africa. Such capacity will build and strengthen institutions for policy sustainability – be it fiscal or monetary policy, food security or market developments. All have one important dimension to success and sustainability, namely: Capacity.

IRWINDALE, Calif. Brush fires broke out Tuesday in the midst of hot and dry weather conditions in Ventura County and Norco.
Fire crews in the Angeles National Forest are working around the clock to contain the massive Station Fire.
Because of the hot and windy weather conditions in the forecast for the next two to three days, officials have pushed back the containment date once again from Tuesday to Thursday.
The fire was 94 percent contained Tuesday evening.
Officials are concerned that wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour could carry embers from the remaining hot spots and spark a whole new fire.
Mount Wilson is being covered by another layer of Phos-Chek, and crews are on the ground patrolling the area. The north side of Mount Wilson is still vulnerable, as are many parts of the forest that have not yet burned.
Fire crews say they are planning for a worst case scenario.
"People shouldn't be surprised if they see more helicopters and more air tankers. It's nothing to indicate that there is a fire, or that anything has changed," said Stanley Berkowitz from the U.S. Forest Service.
"It's just more precautionary techniques being taken to keep ahead of anything that might potentially happen," he said.
The Station Fire is Los Angeles County's largest fire ever. It has burned more than 160,000 acres, roughly 250 square miles. The fire killed two firefighters and destroyed 89 homes. Officials say arson is the cause of the wildfire that started August 26.
The cost of fighting the Station Fire is calculated at more than $83 million.
Officials are also taking precautions in Malibu, the site of the wind-driven Corral Fire two years ago that destroyed nearly 50 homes.
The L.A. County Fire Department will have more firefighters working in Malibu while the red flag warning is in effect.
Crews are asking residents to make sure that they clear the brush around their homes.

Saudi Arabia's Aquaculture Facilities to Earn Best Aquaculture Practices Certification
The Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Saudi Aquaculture Society requiring the country's aquaculture facilities to earn Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification, GAA said in a release on its website.
The commitment "establishes the BAP third-party certification program as the national standard for all Saudi Arabia aquaculture facilities", the GAA said in the release.
As part of the MoU, all Saudi aquaculture operations will be required to attain BAP certification by the end of 2016, and BAP certification will be required for new aquaculture licensing.
Saudi Arabia plans to grow seafood production to 600,000 metric tons by 2030.
"We are delighted to have been selected to work with the aquaculture industry of in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a resource in support of its planned growth to 600,000 metric tons of seafood production," said GAA executive director Wally Stevens. "The commitment of the Aquaculture Department of the Ministry of Agriculture along with that of the Saudi Arabian Aquaculture Society combined with our resolve is a powerful example of what it takes to achieve great results."

Executive Members Cleared
Photo Credit Inside Sport
We are hearing that a Senior AIBA official mentioned that Jost Schmid told the worldwide governing body he is planning to retire which came the same week the AIBA Disciplinary Commission cleared Executive Committee members Umar Kremlev and Volodymyr Prodyvus of any wrongdoing.
Russian Kremlev and Ukrainian Prodyvus had been accused of breaching the ethics code and were naturally subject to an investigation all due to "alleged criminal convictions".
Kremlev offered to write off the organisation's significant debt because the Credit Union Collection Agency was after him. It was a major factor in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspending AIBA's recognition as the Olympic governing body for the sport.
He accused the former AIBA President (Gafur Rakhimov) of lying and "deceiving the entire boxing community", but to his surprise the AIBA Disciplinary Commission ruled that the accusations had not met the burden of proof.
Kremlev and Prodyvus had tabled a motion of no confidence in Schmid during a fractious AIBA Executive Committee meeting in Geneva in June.
The Russian Boxing Federation secretary general had claimed Schmid was acting on orders of Rakhimov, who appointed him as chairman of the Ethics Commission.
Bulgarian Executive Committee member Emilia Grueva had previously raised concerns regarding Schmid's role as chairman, questioning his "neutrality and ethical probity."
Grueva highlighted how the IOC Inquiry Commission report into AIBA were used as the basis for the decision to strip the embattled governing body of involvement in the boxing events at Tokyo 2020,
Reasons given for his (Schmid's) decision are not clear at this time but nevertheless marks the latest episode in the AIBA crisis.
The identity of his replacement is also uncertain as AIBA's statutes dictate the Ethics Commission chairperson is selected by the President.
But the organisation does not have a figurehead after Mohamed Moustahsane resigned as Interim President earlier this month.
It is likely the Ethics Commission will be discussed when the Executive Committee is due to convene for an extraordinary meeting in Istanbul next Saturday (August 31).
The AIBA Executive Committee is due to elect a new Interim President and will also discuss a proposal to postpone the Extraordinary Congress in Lausanne, scheduled for November 15.

Mike Brown Shooting: Bloggers to Blame For Ferguson Unrest, Says Don Lemon
By Toyin Owoseje
November 26, 2014 12:48 GMT
Don Lemon Getty
It looks like Don Lemon may be a glutton for punishment.
Days after dishing out some questionable advice to an alleged Bill Cosby rape victim and telling the world that he could "smell marijuana in the air" while reporting from Ferguson, the controversial CNN anchor has put his foot in it once again.
Not one to mince his words, Lemon sensationally claimed that bloggers are to blame for the growing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri because they acted as "outside agitators".
The St Louis suburb has descended into anarchy and violent protests ever since news broke that a grand jury had ruled not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of unarmed teenager Mike Brown on 9 August.
"OK, here's the thing that people at home should understand. So there is this outrage that everyone thinks is out there. Most of that outrage is coming from the Internet and social media. When you actually come here on the ground and the people who are actual protesters...most of them peaceful," he explained at a press conference.
The 48-year-old journalist, who has been reporting on the violence in Ferguson, went on to assert that the real troublemakers were "people who are trying to make a name for themselves".
"People who want you to follow them on Twitter; or follow their blog; or follow them on livestream. So when we came in, we were confronted by a blogger; when the Rev. Al Sharpton came in, we were confronted by a blogger for questions that had nothing to do with the situation here about personal issues, or whatever.
"It has nothing to do with anything — not respectful of the situation. So they come in, they stick a camera in your face: 'Do you want to comment about this, what do you have to say about that.' And, what do you do?"
He added: "These were bloggers and as many people are calling them, 'outside agitators' That's where the commotion is coming from. Don't go thinking that "everyone here is pissed off and angry or what have you. It's the people who are online who are taking things out of context. Those are the people who are really creating the stir."
Within minutes social media users accused him of shifting the blame and promoting his own agenda.
Lemon's popularity has dropped drastically as his controversial comments continue to polarise critics.
Earlier this week, CNN was hit with a barrage of complaints following Lemon's insensitive reporting from outside Ferguson police station.
"Maybe a minute, two minutes ago we heard a gunshot and watched people scattering. And we're watching people on the roofs of cars," he said before adding "Obviously there's a smell of marijuana here as well."
He also dropped some divisive gems when he insinuated that Joan Tarshis could have bitten Cosby's penis to avoid giving him oral sex. He later apologised for his behaviour.

Henri-Charles du Camboust (15 September 1665, Paris – 28 November 1732) was a French prelate. He was bishop of Metz from 1697 to 1732, and duc de Coislin from 1710.
Great-grandson of chancellor Séguier, brother of Pierre de Camboust and nephew of Pierre du Cambout de Coislin, on 20 June 1714 he composed a mandate denying the papal bull Unigenitus, which produced a sensation throughout the French church due to its author's personality, his diocese's importance and the sharpness of its condemnation of the bull, concealed beneath apparent submission to it. Louis XIV condemned the mandate by a Conseil decree of 5 July 1714 "as contrary to the acceptance of the Bull passed by the assembly of the clergy of France, and seeking to weaken or render useless the condemnation, both the errors contained in its 101 propositions, and the book that contains them".
Here are some character traits from Henri-Charles de Coislin's birth chart. This description is far from being comprehensive but it can shed light on his/her personality, which is still interesting for professional astrologers or astrology lovers.
In a matter of minutes, you can get at your email address your astrological portrait (approximately 32 pages), a much more comprehensive report than this portrait of Henri-Charles de Coislin.
Warning: when the birth time is unknown, which is the case for Henri-Charles de Coislin, a few paragraphs become irrelevant; distributions in hemispheres and quadrants are meaningless, so are dominant houses and houses' accentuations. Therefore, some chapters are removed from this part.
Cheers for communication and mobility, Henri-Charles de Coislin! The predominance of Air signs in your chart favours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips, whether real (travels) or symbolic (new ideas, mind speculations). You gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose in self-assertion or in pragmatism.
Henri-Charles de Coislin, Fire is dominant in your natal chart and endows you with intuition, energy, courage, self-confidence, and enthusiasm! You are inclined to be passionate, you assert your willpower, you move forward, and come hell or high water, you achieve your dreams and your goals. The relative weakness of this element is the difficulty to step back or a kind of boldness that may prompt you to do foolish things.
The three most important planets in your chart are Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury.
In your natal chart, the three most important signs - according to criteria mentioned above - are in decreasing order of strength Leo, Aquarius and Virgo. In general, these signs are important because your Ascendant or your Sun is located there. But this is not always the case: there may be a cluster of planets, or a planet may be near an angle other than the Midheaven or Ascendant. It may also be because two or three planets are considered to be very active because they form numerous aspects from these signs.
After this paragraph about dominant planets, of Henri-Charles de Coislin, here are the character traits that you must read more carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific: the texts about dominant planets only give background information about the personality and remain quite general: they emphasize or, on the contrary, mitigate different particularities or facets of a personality. A human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to successfully figure out all the finer points.
Your nature is optimistic and emotional, Henri-Charles de Coislin, and you are caught up in two incompatible longings: you are fond of exoticism and independence of movement, but at the same time, you feel comfortable in a form of middle-class attitude and conformism; in general, it translates into a succession of moods, now quiet and well adapted to the situations you experience, now marked by an irresistible desire for change and revival. You have a good and naïve nature, with a lot of self-confidence. Your emotionalism prompts you to live intensely a variety of numerous emotional experiences, a bit scattered, but with all the stimulations you need to be a balanced person. Your pleasant and welcoming attitude wins you some degree of popularity, all the more so because, despite your thirst for adventures that may scare away some people, you adjust to your environment's customs so easily.
You are so proud and generous, Henri-Charles de Coislin, that the power of your love contains in itself your vulnerability. However, this is precisely what makes you charming and original. You are loyal and straightforward and you need to love as much as you need to be loved. Both feelings are tightly linked and there is a real danger that love is broken up by trivial misunderstandings, just because your touchiness is affected. You are demonstrative, brilliant, and even dramatic, with a legendary generosity. For you, everything is, or must be, excessive: gestures of love towards your partner, your presents, your comfort and the luxury, which marks your outings and your travels. You are physically a lion, at least, you have its sexual appetite; you are voluptuous and passionate. Flexibility is the only thing that is out of your reach, in the ways you show your love, as well as in your responses to annoying events.
What an energy, Henri-Charles de Coislin! You take so many initiatives, you have so much strength for action, construction and struggle! You are part of the conquerors, loyal and concerned about panache. Your vitality is such that you can achieve your objectives and release all your creativity. However, you are so proud and so unyielding that you cannot tolerate the faintest annoyance on your way: if you are vexed, you may turn into the opposite direction as a matter of reaction. Sexually, your magnetism and your energy work wonders. You are not complicated and, as long as your slightly domineering nature is respected and you are granted due admiration, all goes perfectly well. You usually have a lot of self-confidence and you believe in you. This characteristic feature may turn you into a hero with Hercules's strength and solar charisma.

How Much For the Tide?
The Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns football program—just football; not basketball, baseball or anything else—is worth $805 million. To put this into perspective, the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars recently sold for about $45 million less.
In addition, there are seven other college-football teams worth at least $500 million, according to an analysis of the values of nearly every major-college football program.
Ryan Brewer, an assistant professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, calculated the intrinsic valuations for 115 of the 120 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (excluding Air Force, Navy, Tulane, Tulsa and Wake Forest). Among other factors, the study examined each program's revenues and expenses and made cash-flow adjustments and risk assessments and growth projections for every school.
The numbers illustrate the massive gap between the rich and the rest in college football. Of the 115 teams in the study, 89 are worth less than $180 million. The values skyrocket from there, with 13 teams—10 of them from the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences—worth over $400 million.
Although Texas is easily the most valuable team according to the study, the SEC has by far the most valuable membership. The SEC's average program value is $360 million, with four schools—Florida, Georgia and national-championship opponents Alabama and LSU—topping a half billion each.

Al Davis: The End
For those of you who haven't been paying attention, two days ago the New England Patriots sent Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for a 2011 first-round draft choice.
You have read that correctly.
In exchange for a pick that—based upon Oakland's staggering ineptitude and lack of depth—could be the No. 1 spot in the draft, New England surrendered a 30-year-old defensive end in the final season of his contract.
You have, again, read that correctly.
My brain wants to ask, "Are the Raiders completely insane?"—but, really, why utter the obvious. This already goes down as one of the most lopsided trades I've ever seen, right there with Herschel Walker to the Vikings and Lou Brock to the Cardinals. Right now, all the Raiders have is hope—hope that young players pan out; hope that the drafts are deep; hope that, well, things get better. The best way to squash that hope? Trade your first-round draft pick for a 30-year-old defensive end who can walk at the end of the year.
Seriously, it's time for Roger Goodell to think about stepping in and doing something here. It wouldn't be unprecedented. In 1976, Major League Baseball's Bowie Kuhn told Oakland it could not sell Rollie Fingers to the Red Sox and Vida Blue to the Yankees. Based on the ineptitude of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien in the early 1980s, the NBA passed a rule prohibiting teams from trading away first-round draft picks in consecutive years. (This rule is known as the "Ted Stepien Rule.")
Has Al Davis reached this level? Undeniably yes. The Seymour trade. The signing and release of Jeff Garcia. The drafting of Darrius Heyward-Bey and Michael Mitchell. The hiring and firing of coaches.
The Oakland Raiders, once the franchise of the NFL, are officially pathetic.

Before you decide to hire the least expensive paint contractors for painting the house in Gaithersburg, MD or McLean, VA, or before choosing to take on the job of residential painting in Wellington or Boca Raton, FL yourself, consider these points and suggestions, which explain why getting the lowest price may not give you the best value.
If your home and paint are dated prior to 1978, your walls, trim and molding may have been painted with lead-based paint, which can have serious health effects if scraped or sanded in preparation for repainting.
Professional paint contractors will take steps to protect you and are required to provide EPA-produced pamphlets to customers interested in residential painting before they even begin a job that involves disturbing lead-based paint. Professional painting contractors from North Bethesda, MD to Lake Worth, FL, will understand and follow the recommendations in this pamphlet.
Painting is hazardous work: painters often work on ladders and deal with solvents and dust. Hiring a professional paint contractor means you don't have to worry about facing these dangers.
Getting surfaces properly prepared makes all the difference. Professional paint contractors know the value of preparation and will do it right.
How to apply the right paint is something professionals really know. Today, the choices are more complicated than just oil or latex, and professional contractors know what works, how to use it and have the right tools for any job.
Hiring a professional contractor means you don't have to worry about dealing with paint residues and leftovers commercial and residential painting jobs. Professionals also know how to handle wastes that need to be disposed of properly.
Not all states and municipalities require licensing, however business registration with a state and municipality is generally a minimum requirement.
Quality contracting firms will be happy to provide a copy of their certificate of insurance. They should also have bonding information (if the job is large enough to require such) and documentation of safety training and compliance programs.
Reputable contractors will use a written contract, which protects both you and the contractor. All contracts should clearly explain the scope of the work to be performed and will most likely cover items such as surfaces to be painted, methods and extent of surface preparation, time schedules and payment procedures.
Be sure to ask whether the contractor and employees treated their clients professionally and with respect.
Contact homeowners whose projects are at least a few years old. This will help you gauge the performance of the construction and materials used by the house painters in consideration.
Discuss any guarantee or warranty programs the contractor offers.
Good contractors are very proud of their craftsmanship and eager for your business. Once you've hired your contractor, give them room to execute the project and meet or exceed your expectations. Remember, as with anything else in life, you get what you pay for, so if you want high quality and reliable service, be willing to pay the price to attain it.

Un organocarbonat (carbonat orgànic o èster carbonat) és un èster d'àcid carbònic. Aquest grup funcional consta d'un grup carbonil flanquejat per dos grups alcoxi. L'estructura general d'aquests carbonats és R1O(C=O)OR₂ i estan relacionats amb èsters R1O(C=O)R i èters R1OR₂ i també amb els carbonats de la química inorgànica.

Els monòmers de policarbonats estan enllaçats amb grups carbonats i aquests es fan servir, per exemple, en lents de contacte, compact discs i vidres a prova de bala. Altres organocarbonats més petits es fan servir com solvents.

Tipus
Els organocarbonats es poden dividir en tres categories segons les seves estructures. La primera i general és el carbonar dialquil o diaril que comprèn un grup carbonat amb dos substituents. Els memebres més senzills d'aquesta classe inclouen el dimetil carbonat i el difenil carbonat:

En lloc d'un R-grup terminal alquil o aril, dos grups carbonat es poden enllaçar a un grup bifuncional alifàtic o aromàtic. Per exemple, poli(propilen carbonat) i poli(bisfenol A carbonat) (Lexan):

Alternativament, els grups carbonats es poden enllaçar per un pont de 2- o 3-carbonis, com substituents etilen carbonat i trimetilen carbonat; per exemple, CH₃ per propilen carbonat:

Preparació
Hi ha dues formes principals de preparació del organocarbonats: la reacció d'un alcohol (o fenol) amb fosgen (fosgenació), i la reacció d'un alcohol amb monòxid de carboni i un oxidant (carbonilació oxidativa). Altres organocarbonats després es poden preparar per transesterificació.

Ús com solvents
Un gran nombre d'organocarbonats es fan servir com solvents. Un exemple és el propilen carbonat. Com a avantatge té la seva baixa ecotoxicitat i la bona biodegradabilitat.

Ús en bateries
Els organocarbonats es fan servir com solvent en bateries de liti; degut a la seva lata polaritat que pot dissoldre les sals de liti.

In addition to electric cars, ideas about charging stations for electric commercial vehicles for urban transport with a maximum speed of 25 to 30 km / h and the ability to carry a distance of 60 to 80 km appeared. The charging station would allow you to quickly replace the empty battery with a fully charged one.

Ford Nucleon was a concept introduced in 1958 by Ford Motor Company. The car should propel on nuclear fuel. A smaller nuclear reactor supposed to be suspended between the rear wheels. One charge would be sufficient for 5000 miles (approx. 8000km), and the empty one would be replaced at the petrol station. Ford built 1 model in a ratio of 1: 2.66. The vehicle has never been manufactured. It is an example of many concepts from the 1950s, at the beginning of the atomic age.
The photo shows the Tama Model E4S-47 in one of the manufactured versions. The production began from 1947 in series in Japan. The power was 3.3 kW, the highest speed was 35 km/h and the transport capacity of the vehicle with one charge – the range 65 km. For speed control, the driver was equipped with a manual twist gearbox.
Enfield 8000, manufactured by Enfield-Neorion, 1973, was equipped with a 6 kW electric motor and lead-acid battery. Altogether 120 cars were build. The maximum speed was 77 km/h and the range was approximately 64 km.

Hi, I'm playing Amazing Spiderman on the PC, and supposedly the negative zone costume unlocks after you complete all the Xtreme challenges... which I just did. I got the steam achievements for completing them all, but no costume was unlocked for it. How do I get the negative zone costume on Steam then?
the negative zone suit didn't unlock for me until i completed every side-mission on the map.
however, that may not have been the specific requirement. the last set of missions i did before unlocking the suit was car chases, so perhaps you need to complete all of those to unlock it. if that doesn't work, then just complete all the other side-missions until you get it.
Oh, okay. I'll work on doing more of those then. Thanks mate.

Q: Visual Basic - Controlling various form elements I have a project in mind with so many form controls(like 3 hundred labels), and I must change all of their texts.
So I want to do something like this
For i= 1 to 300
(Labeli).text = "xyz"
Next

I can't write and change all of the labels one by one so I need a way to change any label by using a number + "Label" so it becomes "Labeli".
Sorry for my english, I am waiting for your help, thanks :)

A: Something like this should work for you:
For i = 1 to 300
  CType(Me.Controls("Label" & i), Label).Text = "xyz"
Next

You will need to add recursion or flatten your label controls, if you have them nested.

Karl Gabel ist eine Comicfigur des Berliner Karikaturisten Erich Schmitt. Er ist der Held mehrerer Weltraumabenteuer, die in Form von Comicstrips  erst in der Wochenpost und später in der Wochenendbeilage der Berliner Zeitung abgedruckt worden sind.

Entwicklung
Nach dem Start der Wochenzeitung Wochenpost bemühte sich der Chefredakteur nach dem Vorbild westdeutscher Zeitschriften auch sein Blatt durch einen Comicstrip aufzuwerten. Man fand in dem bereits beliebten Erich Schmitt einen Partner für das Projekt. Dieser war Fan von Science-Fiction-Geschichten und wählte dieses Genre für seinen Comic "Die Reise zu den Proximanen". Bei den "Proximanen" handelt es sich um die Bewohner eines Planeten um Proxima Centauri. Dieser Comic startete in der letzten Ausgabe des Jahres 1955 mit einer kleinen Vorgeschichte, den Schmitt erstmal mit einem kleinen Einleitungstext fortsetzte, bevor die Geschichte am 7. Januar 1956 endgültig begann.

Obwohl sich die Serie von Anfang an großer Beliebtheit erfreute, wurde sie erst einmal nicht fortgesetzt. Erst 1967 entschloss man sich bei der Berliner Zeitung, die Geschichte erneut abzudrucken. Doch man begnügte sich nicht damit, das Ganze in der schon einmal erschienenen Fassung nochmals zu bringen. Erich Schmitt, der sich mittlerweile zeichnerisch weiterentwickelt hatte, war mit seiner ersten Fassung nicht mehr so zufrieden und zeichnete die ganze Geschichte neu. Inhaltlich veränderte er dabei nur wenig. Zeichnerisch sind deutliche Verbesserungen erkennbar. Am auffälligsten ist, dass die gesamtdeutsche Mannschaft der Urfassung durch eine deutsch-sowjetische Mannschaft ersetzt wurde. So erschien "Die Reise zu den Proximanen" in überarbeiteter Fassung ab 1967 in der Berliner Zeitung.

Die Geschichte wurde von den Lesern überschwänglich aufgenommen, so dass Erich Schmitt fünf Jahre später die Fortsetzung "Aloa, der 5. Planet" folgen ließ. Durch den großen Erfolg ermutigt, ließ der Eulenspiegel-Verlag noch 1973 die Buchfassung der beiden Abenteuer folgen. Dabei wurde von der "Reise zu den Proximanen" nur die zweite Fassung verwendet, so auch bei der späteren Aufnahme der beiden Geschichten in dem sehr populären "Dicken Schmitt-Buch". 1975 folgten mit "Der Weltraum-Katamaran" und 1979 mit "Auf Tierfang im Kosmos" zwei weitere Fortsetzungen. 1980 wurden alle vier Geschichten erfolgreich in dem Sammelband "Karl Gabels sämtliche Weltraumabenteuer" veröffentlicht, wobei die Urfassung abermals unter den Tisch fiel. Im "Dicken Schmitt-Buch" fanden die beiden Abschlussfolgen bis heute keine Aufnahme. Erst im Jahre 2006 wurde auch die Urfassung von "Die Reise zu dem Proximanen" erstmals in gesammelter Form im Holzhof-Verlag veröffentlicht.

Die Figur des Karl Gabel hat Erich Schmitt wie auch die des Kuno Wimmerzahn seinem eigenen Äußeren nachempfunden, weshalb Gabel auch eine für einen Raumfahrer recht unsportliche Figur hat.

327 Columbia is a typical Main belt asteroid.
It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on March 22, 1892 in Nice and named in honor of Christopher Columbus.
STS-1 (Space Transportation System-1) was the first orbital spaceflight of NASA's Space Shuttle program. The first orbiter, Columbia, launched on 12 April 1981 and returned on 14 April, 54.5 hours later, having orbited the Earth 37 times. Columbia carried a crew of two – mission commander John W. Young and pilot Robert L. Crippen. It was the first American manned space flight since the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. STS-1 was also the only maiden test flight of a new US spacecraft to carry a crew, though it was preceded by atmospheric testing of the orbiter and ground testing of the space shuttle system.
The launch occurred on the 20th anniversary of the first-ever human spaceflight. This was a coincidence rather than a celebration of the anniversary; a technical problem had prevented STS-1 from launching two days earlier, as was planned.
Both Young and Crippen were selected as the STS-1 crew in March 1978. Young was the most experienced astronaut in NASA at the time and was also the only member of his astronaut class in service. He had first flown in 1965 as pilot of Gemini 3, the first manned flight of the Gemini program, and would later command Gemini 10 in 1966. After the conclusion of the Gemini program, Young flew as command module pilot of Apollo 10 in 1969 and walked on the Moon as commander of Apollo 16 in 1972. He later became Chief of the Astronaut Office in 1974. Crippen, who had joined NASA in 1969 after the cancellation of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory program, was a rookie and would become the first of his astronaut group to fly in space. Prior to his selection on STS-1, Crippen participated in the Skylab Medical Experiment Altitude Test and also served as a capsule communicator for all three Skylab missions and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.

Recorded: June 12th, 2017
Counsel and data privacy professionals within organizations are struggling with a year of unparalleled volatility in cross-border Discovery. What is now required to process data? The fall of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation and Brexit have led to constant and stringent changes in data privacy rules and regulations. The GDPR increases penalties for privacy violations to as much as four percent of a company's annual global revenue. Navigating and understanding the implications of the new regulations will be crucial to successful cross-border data transfers.
This program was recorded on June 12th, 2017.

title:  Миссионерская история

#### В поисках трех знаков

_Эндрю Макчесни, Адвентистская миссия_

Старлин Петерс чувствовала побуждение согласиться на двухнедельное путешествие в Южную Америку, когда слушала речь миссионера-ветерана США на молодежной конференции в ее родной республике Тринидад и Тобаго. Но это желание смущало ее. Она только что вернулась в Церковь адвентистов седьмого дня после семи лет разгульного образа жизни и не чувствовала себя готовой к миссионерскому служению.

«Я не считала себя способной к евангельской деятельности, — рассказывает Старлин, которой в то время было 25 лет, — поэтому я решила молиться».

Она просила Бога дать ей знак: чтобы незнакомые люди на молодежной конференции предложили ей стать миссионером. Она думала, что никто не подойдет к ней, но в тот же самый день несколько человек спросили ее, не думала ли она стать миссионером.

Старлин сомневалась: возможно, тех людей впечатлило выступление евангелиста из США, поэтому она попросила у Бога второй знак: чтобы ее отец посоветовал ей стать миссионером. «Мой отец не ходит в церковь, и я его единственная дочь, — рассуждала она. — Так что шансы были равны нулю. Я думала, что загнала Бога в угол».

На следующий день отец позвонил ей и сказал: «Может быть, тебе стоит пойти туда, куда ведет тебя Бог?». Он добавил, что очень рад последним изменениям, произошедшим в ее жизни.

В ту ночь Старлин молилась с явным раздражением; она не хотела рисковать своей работой ради поездки в Гайану. Она попросила третий знак: чтобы Бог дал ей 450 долларов, необходимых для поездки.

На следующий день, последний день конференции, незнакомец молча вручил девушке белый конверт и ушел. «Заглянув внутрь, я увидела чек на 450 долларов!» — рассказывает она.

Все закончилось тем, что Петерс осталась в Гайане на полтора года, преподавая в миссионерской школе. С тех пор она постоянно совершает миссионерские поездки, делая перерыв только для того, чтобы собрать денег на следующую поездку. В 2014 году президент адвентистской церкви Тед Вильсон вручил ей награду за ее вклад в церковную программу «Один год в служении».

Сейчас Старлин Петерс 32 года, и она уверена, что никогда не поздно и никогда не рано делиться вестью об Иисусе.

«Перед моей первой миссионерской поездкой я не чувствовала себя достаточно посвященной христианкой, чтобы начать евангельское служение. Сейчас я совершаю подобные поездки постоянно, и Бог обеспечивает меня всем необходимым», — делится своим опытом Старлин Петерс.
