Recently shu uemura launched their Limited Edition Tokyo Doll Eye and Cheek Palette (which consists of 10 really easy to use shades), which helps you to create two awesome looks. Whether you're wanting to rock a day time look, or perhaps a night time look...there's definitely potential to really create a look that you'd be happy with. I am so impressed with the colour selections being offered in the Tokyo Doll Eye and Cheek Palette because they are shades I'd definitely ALL wear. There's not a single shade that I would not consider wearing, plus there's two blush shades for the cheeks which is perfect for completing that eye and cheek look.
What you will notice from the sleek and stylish palette is that it features a two-toned shade that is made to be used on the go. The Limited Edition eye and cheek palette even comes with a limited edition pouch which has been designed by Tokyo artist, feebee. Not only that, the palette comes with two double ended brushes. The first brush consists of a blush type of brush for the cheeks, whilst the second brush has an angled and eyeshadow brush on both ends which is so handy for applying eyeshadow or filling in your brows should you not have a brush in hand with you. Even though these brushes are made "small", they're actually not bad to handle and still helps me to apply make-up with ease. They are convenient and easy to use which is why I cannot find any faults with using this lovely new palette by shu uemura. It's definitely the perfect little compact consisting of all the shades I'd wear for day and night.
Furthermore, the palette isn't too big which is great to consider for this limited edition item and it also comes with a mirror which is a must when you are on the go. From observing the colour palette, you can definitely opt to create a neutral, healthy glowing and even a night look with the shades. From the eyeshadow shades, there's a combination of both shimmery and matte shades which are warm and slightly neutral toned - perfect for that all natural look. Did I also mention how super pigmented the eye shadows and blushes are? They're definitely made of high quality pigments which look to bring amazing colour for the eyes and cheeks. Additionally, you can even opt for a cool smoky eyed effect which can be re-created with a few shades from the palette. Also, it's definitely my favourite so far that has all of the shades that I would definitely use on a weekly basis.

La Batalla de Kòrsun-Txerkassi, Assetjament de Kòrsun-Xevtxènkivski i Assetjament de Kòrsun-Txerkassi (també Bossa de Txerkassi, Caldera de Txerkassi, Bossa de Kòrsun, Operació Kórsun-Xevtxénkovski) va tenir lloc a l'hivern de 1944, entre els exèrcits alemany i soviètic durant la Gran Guerra Pàtria. La batalla es va iniciar quan la rereguarda del Grup d'Exèrcits Sud alemany va ser atrapada pel 1r i 2n Front d'Ucraïna. Els intents d'altres unitats per aixecar el setge soviètic van produir més baixes als alemanys, tot i que les seves forces van poder fugir del setge després de patir greus baixes.

Preparació soviètica
El gener de 1944, les forces alemanys del Grup d'Exèrcits Sud, comandades per Erich von Manstein, s'havien replegat darrere de la línia Panther-Wotan, al llarg del Dnièper a Ucraïna. Dos cossos de l'Exèrcit, el XI (comandats per Wilhelm Stemmermann) i el XLII (comandats per Theobald Lieb), juntament amb un destacament del 8è Exèrcit, es van quedar enrere defensant un sortint situat a uns 100 km de Kàniv al sud-oest, amb el poble de Kòrsun-Xevtxènkivski al centre d'aquest, a l'oest de la ciutat de Txerkassi situada al seu torn en la riba occidental del Dnièper ia uns 200 quilòmetres al sud-est de Kíev (recuperada des del 3 de novembre de 1943 pels soviètics).

El mariscal Gueorgui Júkov es va adonar de la possibilitat d'atrapar a aquestes forces alemanyes del sortint de Txerkassi i immediatament va comunicar a l'Alt Comandament Soviètic la necessitat d'utilitzar als 1r i 2n Fronts Ucraïnesos per envoltar als dos cossos alemanys i destruir-los. Júkov va requerir més tropes de les necessàries, ja que encertadament va pronosticar que els alemanys enviarien forces per intentar trencar el setge, i necessitarien formar dos anells (un ofensiu i un altre defensiu) per evitar que això succeís. Els soviètics no van ser els únics que es van adonar d'això, ja que Erich von Manstein immediatament li va sol·licitar a Hitler que li permetés retirar les tropes exposades, però l'últim es va negar.

Desenvolupament de les operacions

El cèrcol
El 18 de gener, el 1r i 2n Front Ucraïnesos van atacar les vores del sortint, amb l'objectiu d'envoltar als defensors alemanys en el menor temps possible. El setge es va tancar deu dies després per la 20a Brigada de Tancs de la Guàrdia i el 6è Exèrcit de Tancs a la vila de Zvenigorodka, i es creà de nou el temut kessel (en alemany "calder", en sentit figurat "trampa"), a imatge i semblança del que havia passat a Stalingrad feia un any. Impacient, Stalin va començar a buscar notícies del front, ja que se li havia promès un segon Stalingrad, de manera que el comandant del 2n Front Ucraïnès, Ivan Kóniev li va enviar el següent missatge: "No hi ha necessitat de preocupar-se, Camarada Stalin. L'enemic no escaparà. "

Atrapats en el "kessel" hi havia 60.000 alemanys, en total sis divisions al 55% de la seva força, juntament amb diverses unitats petites. Entre les divisions atrapades estaven les divisions SS  Wiking i la  Wallonien, juntament amb uns 5.000 auxiliars russos (anomenats "hiwis", abreviatura de "hilfsfreiwillige" o voluntaris). Les forces atrapades van ser agrupades en el Gruppe Stemmermann, ja que el seu comandant era l'antic comandat del XI Cos. La Divisió Wiking tenia 43 Panzer III / IV i diversos canons d'assalt. Altres 27 canons d'assalt van ser trobades en altres unitats, però amb aquestes no n'hi hauria prou per si soles per escapar del cèrcol soviètic.

Resposta alemanya

Manstein va reaccionar ràpidament, de manera que per a inicis de febrer els cossos Panzer III i XLVII estaven preparats per participar en un intent de ruptura. No obstant això, Hitler va intervenir, i va ordenar transformar el pla de rescat en una veritable ofensiva, l'objectiu de la qual seria el cèrcol dels dos fronts soviètics. Manstein i altres caps del OKH van notar que això era impossible de realitzar amb les forces existents, i el General Hermann Breith, comandant del III Cos Panzer va insistir en la creació d'un corredor per permetre la fugida del Gruppe Stemmermann, però res més. Manstein, acceptant la pressió de Hitler, va rebutjar aquesta opinió i va ordenar el setge de les forces de Kóniev i Vatutin. L'atac del XLVII Cos Panzer, liderat per l'11a Divisió Panzer, ràpidament es va estancar, donat que els tancs alemanys es trobaven en desavantatge davant les divisions blindades soviètiques, i no va poder causar grans baixes. En adonar-se del fracàs de la seva ofensiva, Manstein va ordenar llavors al III Cos Panzer que establís el corredor per rescatar el Gruppe Stemmermann. No obstant això, l'imprevist bon temps a l'hivern es va presentar com un seriós obstacle per als alemanys, ja que l'atac d'aquest cos Panzer, liderat per la Leibstandarte, no només va haver d'enfrontar-se a quatre cossos de tancs soviètics, sinó que els tancs alemanys literalment es van quedar estacats en el fang, vulnerables inclosos als avenços de la infanteria soviètica dotada d'artilleria lleugera.

El 8 de febrer, el general Breith va ordenar el reinici de l'intent de ruptura, aquesta vegada liderat per la 16a Divisió Panzer. Després de forts combats, les forces de rescat van arribar al riu Gniloi Tikitx i van establir un fràgil cap de pont a la riba oriental, en desallotjar els soviètics, però van patir serioses pèrdues en l'intent. No obstant això el III Cos Panzer no va poder avançar més gràcies a la tenaç resistència del 6è Exèrcit de Tancs de l'Exèrcit Roig i així el Gruppe Stemmermann va haver d'obrir camí pel seu compte.

El "Kessel" de Kòrsun
Mentre el III Cos Panzer lluitava per aixecar el setge, els alemanys atrapats van improvisar un cinturó defensiu al voltant del poble de Kòrsun-Xevtxènkivski, on es trobava la seva única font de subministrament: una pista d'aterratge. En aquella pista hi aterraven contínuament avions Junkers Ju 52 que transportaven aliments, municions, combustible medicaments, i a més evacuaven els ferits. Perquè el III Cos Panzer aconseguís ajudar-los a sortir del cèrcol, l'estat major del 8è Exèrcit va ordenar al general Wilhelm Stemmermann que mobilitzés les seves tropes al sud-oest, cap a la localitat de Xenderivka, on esperarien a ser alliberats.

Immediatament, Stemmermann va començar a retirar les seves tropes del nord del "kessel", i va iniciar un atac per establir contacte amb les forces de rescat que esperaven al riu Gniloi Tikitx. La gran quantitat de maniobres alemanyes dins del cèrcol, va convèncer per un moment als soviètics que havien capturat a tot el 8è Exèrcit Alemany, tot i que realment aquesta força estava lluny de la seva plena capacitat operativa. Les forces atrapades es van dirigir al sud per capturar els poblats de Xenderivka, Novo-Buda i Komarivka. Van abandonar la pista d'aterratge de Kòrsun el 12 de febrer, i amb ella tota possibilitat de rebre subministraments. A Novo-Buda, el 105è Regiment va rebre l'ordre de prendre el poblat, ben defensat pels soviètics. El comandant de l'esmentat regiment, el major Robert Kästner, va comprendre que les seves exhaustes i minvades tropes no aconseguirien realitzar un atac pujant un turó sobre un enemic numèricament superior. Va decidir llavors atacar de nit i va vestir a les seves tropes amb roba de  camuflatge d'hivern. A més totes les tropes van col·locar baionetes als seus rifles. En absolut silenci, els alemanys es van acostar al poble i no van ser detectats fins que no estigueren a pocs metres de les posicions soviètiques, que prengueren en pocs minuts. La nit següent, el 105è Regiment va prendre el poblat de Komarivka utilitzant una tàctica similar.

Pels volts del 15 de febrer, el "kessel" s'havia mogut cap al sud, i descansava a la vila de Xenderivka, després d'haver-se reduït a la meitat la distància entre el Gruppe Stemmermann i el III Cos Panzer. No obstant això, la captura d'aquesta última vila va ser molt costosa, ja que després que la 72a Divisió d'Infanteria l'hagués capturat, tropes del 27è Exèrcit soviètic la recuperaven, només per ser expulsats per un regiment de la divisió Wiking.

El trencament del setge
Després d'intentar apropar-se a Xenderivka infructuosament, el III Cos Panzer es va donar per vençut en no poder prendre un turó anomenada "239", i es va transmetre al Gruppe Stemmermann que havien obrir-se camí de nou, sense mencionar-los que tres exèrcits enemics de tancs es trobaven en el camí de 12 km de longitud. El tinent general Theobald Lieb va liderar la ruptura, mentre que el general Wilhelm Stemmermann es va quedar a la rereguarda amb 4000 homes. El "kessel", de 3.5 km de diàmetre, es va començar a moure de Xenderivka, que va ser batejada "la porta de l'infern". L'artilleria soviètica va bombardejar contínuament l'enemic tancat, i va matar tant a alemanys com també a civils ucraïnesos atrapats.

A les 11 de la nit del 16 de febrer es va iniciar l'intent de fugida, amb resultats prometedors, però la forta resistència trobada en el pujol "239", protegit per tancs T-34, va obligar a algunes unitats alemanyes a esquivar aquell turó pel sud. A l'alba del 17 de febrer, els comandants soviètics es van adonar que els alemanys estaven escapant, el que va ocasionar que immediatament s'enviessin unitats blindades a detenir-los, aprofitant la superioritat numèrica per destruir el que es pogués del 'Gruppe Stemmermann. Molt preocupats per la possibilitat de no poder tancar el corredor de fugida a temps, les unitats de tancs soviètiques (juntament amb la seva infanteria i cavalleria) van avançar amb gran rapidesa i van exterminar totes les forces germàniques que trobaren al seu pas, i no van fer  presoners, donat que en el seu afany per tancar qualsevol opció d'escapament, simplement mataven tots els soldats alemanys que poguessin trobar, encara que intentessin rendir-se.

En la meitat del matí, bona part del Gruppe Stemmermann havia arribat al riu Gniloi Tikitx, que havia incrementat el seu cabal a causa de la imprevist fosa de les neus. Tot i que havia estat capturat un pont, i s'havien construït uns pontons, la intensitat de l'envestida soviètica va ser de tal magnitud que els alemanys es van llançar al gèlid riu en un afany desesperat de fugir, i es van improvisar ponts de vehicles o arbres. D'aquesta manera centenars de soldats alemanys van morir ofegats o d'hipotèrmia en el seu afany per creuar ràpidament el riu davant el potent avanç de les unitats soviètiques.

El mateix tinent general Lieb va haver de travessar el riu nedant per evitar ser capturat. Quan el comandant de la Divisió Wiking, Herbert Otto Guille va intentar formar una cadena humana a través del riu (intercalant soldats que sabien nedar amb els que no sabien fer-ho), un home es va deixar anar, va trencar la cadena i va condemnar diverses desenes d'alemanys que van ser arrossegats pel corrent o es van ofegar. Molts civils russos que havien ajudat els alemanys també es van llançar al riu en la seva desesperació de ser capturats pels seus compatriotes.

Conseqüències
Les unitats alemanyes que van participar en aquesta batalla van ser delmades, van patir nombroses baixes, i pràcticament totes elles van haver de ser reequipades després, per la qual cosa aquelles unitats van estar fora de combat per un temps. En total, s'estima que entre 52.000 i 57.000 alemanys van morir, i entre 11.000 i 18.000 van ser fets presoners. Entre els morts es va trobar el general Wilhelm Stemmermann, que va morir dirigint als seus homes en l'evacuació. Ni les xifres oficials de baixes soviètiques militars ni les civils ucraïneses van ser mai publicades. Per aquesta victòria, el general Ivan Kóniev va ser ascendit a Mariscal de la Unió Soviètica. El general Nikolai Vatutin va morir poc després a mans d'un nacionalista ucraïnès.

A Alemanya, aquesta evacuació es va considerar com un triomf, en no haver estat més les baixes germanes, i Joseph Goebbels va felicitar personalment als membres de la SS-Leibstandarte per la seva heroica intervenció en el cèrcol, la qual cosa va determinar que salvessin molts dels assetjats.

Opportunity knocks for students, teachers – and businesses
Jay Bruns knows he's not alone in Iowa. Like many employers, he's looking for a steady pipeline of talent, especially tricky in a state that boasts a 2.6 percent unemployment rate. The nonprofit that Bruns works for, Link Associates, also could use some marketing and programming input. But that can seem like a luxury to a perpetually budget-tight nonprofit. Then Bruns heard of the Iowa Clearinghouse for Work-Based Learning and he eagerly signed on.

OTHER VOICES: Wind energy grows in importance to Iowa's economy
Whether you're in New York City, Silicon Valley, or Des Moines, when a globally recognized company makes a big bet on your community, it's news worth celebrating. Over the last decade, Iowa has had plenty of cause to celebrate when it comes to attracting significant economic development projects. We know Iowa is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. But let's face it: it takes more than a short commute and a friendly attitude to lure the world's best, largest companies to the Hawkeye State. What often tips the scales, though, is laying the groundwork for future potentia...
Iowa-Missouri transmission line ready to provide pathway for wind generation
MidAmerican Energy has completed a nearly 80-mile high-voltage regional transmission line that links southeastern Iowa and northeastern Missouri. This includes a 29-mile section that MidAmerican Energy constructed in three southeast Iowa counties. Called the Multi-Value Project 7, the project provides a new major pathway for wind energy generation in areas along the route. In addition to improving transmission access for wind generation, the project helps relieve congestion on other high-voltage transmission lines and helps increase efficiency on the electric grid by reducing energy production costs.

City seeks proposals for downtown building
OTTUMWA — The fact the storefront at 307 E. Main St., is vacant doesn't stand out. Many of the storefronts on the block are. But most aren't secured with a rusty chain and a shiny new padlock. It's also the site of an unusual action by the city. The building has been declared abandoned, and is now the city's property. Abandoned buildings in Ottumwa don't tend to be in the heart of a district the city has been working to restore. "This building is in dire need of renovation," City Attorney Joni Keith told city council members. "It's full of debris an...
Dozens of Iowa Opportunity Zones sparking investment, development
Investors across Iowa are taking advantage of new federal tax incentives designed to spur economic development in distressed communities. They're called Opportunity Zones and 62 of these areas have been designated across the state. One of them is in Denison where Mayor Jared Beymer announced last week 45 housing units will be built to address the community's housing shortage. "It's brought in local investors, and it'll probably bring in some money from outside of the community," he said. "It could turn out to be quite a very useful tool." Read full article.
Shovel-Ready Sites: Ready To Hit The Ground Running
Precertified sites—also known as shovel-ready sites—speed up the development cycle for projects by cutting the red tape and lining up key approvals in advance of the site selection process. In order to attract new development, locations have to be prepared for it and have sites that are ready to hit the ground running. States across the U.S. are implementing site certification programs that give available sites a shovel ready designation—meaning that the site is primed and ready for economic development. Whether you call these sites precertified or shovel-ready, the meaning is clear: shovel-ready generally refers to commercial and industrial sites that hav...

The Will to Distill: Iowa Distilleries
For decades, consumers have enjoyed visiting wineries: drinking the fruit of the vine at the source, usually in a comfortable tasting room or beautiful outdoor location, then purchasing bottles to enjoy at home. Then craft breweries entered the scene, and the scenario repeated itself. Now, thanks to Iowa's House File 607, signed into law by Gov. Terry Branstad in May 2017, visitors can enjoy that same tasting room experience at distilleries in the state. What's more, the benefits of the new law extend far beyond the flash-in-the-pan experience at a tasting room. Distilleries in the state aren't just tasty and fun—a...
Why rural Iowa needs empowering
Iowa's rural population has been in decline for more than a century, and many communities struggle to remain vital as a result. Today, only about a third of Iowans are rural residents, though a recent Gallup poll indicates Americans' top preference for "where to live" is in rural areas. Twenty-seven percent of respondents want to live in a small town or rural area. Comparing this with where folks currently live — 15 percent rural — tells us there is real interest in rural living and a potential out-migration from urban areas nationwide. For years, Iowa's economic development efforts have focused on bringin...

Curator's comments
Prop banknote specially produced by the Doctor Who Art Department for the 2006 Christmas Special episode 'The Runaway Bride.' A scene in the script by writer Russell T Davies required the Doctor to cause a distraction by making a cash dispenser shoot banknotes into the air. A crowd gathers to catch the billowing money, allowing the Doctor and companion Donna Noble to escape the approaching alien menace. Fake banknotes for TV and film must conform to strict Bank of England guidelines, so the Doctor Who production team elected to create their own Doctor Who notes. The notes themselves were designed by concept artist Peter McKinstry. The "£20" depicts Phil Collinson who was the series Producer from 2005-2008 as well as the name "London Credit Bank," a bank created for the TV series. The "£20" note features a quote from 'Robot,' Tom Baker's debut serial as the Fourth Doctor in 1974. It also features an imitation hologram which depicts the TARDIS, the Doctor's time and space machine disguised as a Police Box.

Today's story teller is an actress, [W:Mie Hama].
She is also an agricultural administration journalist and visits agricultural villages through the country to actually see problems at each place.
Starting the story, she told about the danger of IT society.
Nowadays, people tend to think that they can get any information as long as they have pc and internet; however, pc is not almighty.
You never know the reality of the scene and the people's minds behind what's going on unless you actually go to the scene.
She quoted from a book about a folklorist whom she respects, Tsuneichi Miyamoto.
In view of Prof. Miyamoto's achievements, she thinks that visiting the scene and listening to the people there is important than anything else.
And he hopes that politicians actually visit the scene and see the things from the local people's point to face the problems.
Her last word in the story was impressive to me.

Q: How to filter out certain rows in MySQL dynamically to query against them? I have a PHP - MySQL set up . I have a table  devicevalue   structure of it is like this
devId | vals | date          | time
xysz  | 23   | 2020.02.17    | 22.06
abcs  | 44   | 2020.02.31    | 22.07

The vals columns hold temperature values .
any user loggin in on my webapp have access to only certain devices.
Here are steps

*

*On my website "a user" selects from and to dates for which he wants to see data & submit it

*Then these dates are passed  a page "getrecords.php " ,where there are lot select queries ( and many are in loop )  to fetch filtered data  in required format

The problem is that this table holds almost 2-3 Million records .  and  in every where clause I have to add to and from conditions. this causes to search in entire table .
My question is there any way that I can get temporary table at step 1 which will have only certain rows based on  given two dates and then all my queries on other page  will be against that temporary table ?

A: Edit: If your date column is a text string, you must convert it to a column of type DATE or TIMESTAMP, or you will never get good performance from this table. A vast amount of optimization code is in the MySQL server to make handling of time/date data types efficient. If you store dates or times as strings, you defeat all that optimization code.
Then, put an index on your date column like this.
CREATE INDEX date_from_to ON devicevalue (`date`, devId, vals, `time` );

It's called a covering index because the entire query can be satisfied using it only.
Then, in your queries use
   WHERE date >= <<<fromdate>>>
     AND date <  <<<todate>> + INTERVAL 1 DAY

Doing this indexing correctly gets rid of the need to create temp tables.
If your query has  something like `WHERE devId = <<>> in it, you need this index instead (or in addition).
CREATE INDEX date_id_from_to ON devicevalue (devId, `date`, vals, `time` );

If you get a chance to change this table's layout, combine the date and time columns into a single column with TIMESTAMP data type.  The WHERE clauses I showed you above will still work correctly if you do that. And everything will be just as fast.
SQL is made to solve your kind of problem simply and fast. With a good data choices and proper indexing, a few million records is a modestly-sized table.

A: Short answer:  No.  Don't design temp tables that need to live between sessions.
Longer answer:
Build into your app that the date range will be passed from one page to the next, then use those as initial values in the <form>  <input type=text...>
Then make sure you have a good composite index for the likely queries.  But, to do that, you must get a feel for what might be requested.  You will probably need  a small number of multi-column indexes.
You can probably build a SELECT from the form entries.  I rarely need to use more than one query, but it is mostly "constructed" on the fly based on the form.
It is rarely a good idea to have separate columns for date and time.  It makes it very difficult, for example, to say noon one day to noon the next day.  Combine into a DATETIME or TIMESTAMP.
O.Jones has said a lot of things that I would normally add here.

you are living in a fantasy if you think the UK could force us to remain in the UK
the Royal Navy had to use a mothballed 40 year old destroyer to escort the Admiral Kuznetsov 5 years ago and the type 23 frigates are nearing their end of service date
I am seriously starting to think you are a troll
You're just pro-EU, it's OK to disagree. Your stance in repeating a referendum till ''we get it right'' is typical EU. Nobody forced the voters of Scotland (not all ethnic Scots btw) to remain in the UK in 2014 and nobody can force certain islands or counties of Scotland to remain in a prospective new country.

Currently the UK Treasury is subsidising Scotland's budget which is not sustainable without money input from outside the country, be it loans or grants. Part of the UK deficit being run up by London goes to Scotland.
seriously the UK is subsidising Scotland the same government that came out with £15 billion black hole within a week it came down to £5 billion after the removed the figures for us paying towards English capital projects how much is the UK's black hole £80 billion deficit and £70 billion in loans and according to UK government figures going back 35 years every single year Scotland has been a net contributor in the 80s it was 40% plus 90s it ranged from 20 - 30%
You MAY get your referendum but only if Nicola thinks she can win it and all she is saying atm is that it is an 'option'. You can stake your life savings on her not wanting to go down in history as the person who killed the dream by losing twice in quick succession thus losing everything. She is a very clever lady, much better to be seen as wise, to stay in power, to sit back and watch, to keep the dream alive and see how things turn out for everyone over the next 5 years of turmoil, after which the World will be a different place. Especially as, on top of that, the private personal rewards of staying onside to TPTB are so considerable (see Tony Blair as an example).
Nicola doesn't think she will win it she knows she will win it ... the no campaign has no viable leader to lead them ... the newspapers are now behind us the UK is finished

Typical myth. Not all of that is exploitable so as to make profit. Even if profit can be made out of all those reserves (unlikely) only at best a 10% will go to state budget directly. And it will take many decades to get production going and running. So you're looking at best at 50 or 100 billion reaching your budget in the quarter century or so. By that time the EU austerity loans will have matured and will suck most those so monies out.

They both have respective EEZ as archipelago islands with native population.
They will take away over 20% of what could be Scotland's EEZ. If not more because UK could challenge the western Scot EEZ as well, from N.I.

I'm with you on this.
Godric is trying to tell us about all that oil out there around Scotland that has been known about for decades and even with oil well over $100, and expected to stay that high, yet it has not been exploited. Even the Norwegians are not pumping out of some fields at current prices. But now that oil is sub $50 and expected to be no more than that for years with a probable production cost north of $60, a miracle of Scottish independence will cause the oil companies to flood into some of the most difficult oil extraction areas on earth. Pigs will fly before that happens.
The Orkneys and Shetlands are sitting ducks to be offered anything up to almost Isle of Man status by a Government in London using all the power at its disposal to keep Scotland in the UK. In the days it didn't matter the England/Scotland border near Berwick as I understand it goes out to sea horizontally along the latitude line as opposed to the 90 degrees to the shore more usually used. Expect that to change chopping more out from Scotland. If TPTB see something being taken from them Scotland should expect nothing but dirty tricks and tough negotiations. Rothschild did not multiply his fortune in the middle of June 1815 by being a gentleman and his descendants won't either.

Can we at least wait for Brexit to be completed before going full Mel Gibson here?
Nicola is a typical small-country EU fanboy politician: unwise, inept, offering nothing but promises and running deficits like crazy.
Spending in Scotland is out of control and taxes will be increased very soon. I guess to keep their zombie voters happy, till it's too late.
^^^ yeap that looks like the typical vassal EU country with zero geopolitical significance.
Scotland, the new Greece, Lithuania, etc. Take a pick.
John the UK is finished ... we are a vassal state within the UK .... you cannot see it we are leaving another referendum will be called soon we (SNP) are organising the legislation for another Indy Ref we will be out the UK within the next 4 months it won't be the 2 year campaign we had the last time .... Ruth Davidson is a joke .... obviously you do not understand Scotland we hate Tories with a passion even the land owners are farmers are coming out for Indy
Kilo Golf you can spout all the figures you want but IFS is owned by Lord Astor a Tory Peer and Gers was founded by the Tory government in the 1990s their figures have been ridiculed £15 billion down to £5 billion in less than two weeks ... your obsession with Scotland is quite ridiculous

Scotland, by any account is running a good 10 billion GBP deficit. If it's 13 or 9.5 makes little difference. It's high, it's there to stay and won't go away with the moronic spending (e.g. independence) and platitudes of that leprechaun-like Merkel over there. Also, it's not an obsession, just an interesting example on how EU (with local politicians and zombified voters) can lobby, expand, take over and eventually ruin countries.
I have lived in your future, and it didn't work.
JohninMK on Sat Jun 25, 2016 10:55 pm
I think we would agree on much but for me having a much more cynical view on life. I would have agreed if you had said that the UK, including Scotland etc, is bankrupt but I would not say that it is finished. I do agree that to an extent for the last few centuries Scotland has been a vassal state to England but that it is much less now than it has been.
Whether there is another referendum we will have to just wait and see but even if there is you won't be out of the UK in 4 months, civil servants just can't move that fast! Of course that is what the landowners are saying, to them it is about supporting the SNP in a very real attempt to head off the threat of land seizure. But the really difficult issues from last time still have to be addressed, like for example what currency and what national debt, under what basis would the EU accept Scotland, in Schengen? On top of that the English would probably play hardball, Scotland closes Holyport and Faslane and London shuts Lossiemouth and warship building on the Clyde as well as HMRC jobs in Livingston. These are part of the reasons why the vote failed last time and next time the 'fear' element of the 'no' campaign will be on steroids.
As to Ruth D, whilst you might regard her as a joke and hate the Tories, you have to admit that not every Scot does as they are now the second largest party in Holyrood in part due to her leadership.
I do understand something of Scotland, I lived in Edinburgh for three years selling computers into local government. I tell you, local government in Strathclyde was a real eyeopener, talk about fiefdoms, never seen anything like it.

UK also has the 5th largest Economy in the world and perfect ability for using lending facilities as much as they like. Most Scottish exports are to other parts of the country. Also not 100% of that 8.4% population are ethnic Scots with Strοnk ideas, let alone British. About half of them are pro-Britain Scots, English, other British, foreign, mixed, etc.
Much of the offshore oil/gas as well as fishing grounds can be claimed if the UK decides to follow an aggressive policy of getting the Orkney and Shetland islanders on their side. They have as much in common with rScotland as they do with London. rScotland's EEZ will therefore be about half of what it could be today. The Royal Navy will do the rest and enforce it.
In addition the southern and other counties of current Scotland, that voted strongly to stay in the UK could be given the option to leave an independent non-NATO, non-EU rScotland altogether. Much like Crimea really.
Looking at the map above from less than 2 years ago, it's clear Scotland stays in the UK
you keep stating figures from 2yrs ago, the attitude in Scotland has changed after the vote after they were lied to, and the so-called vow wasn't fully delivered the feelings have changed since 2014.
currently there is a ban on drilling for oil off the west coast due to the MOD putting blockers on it due to Faslane, but going by what experts have said there is a huge amount of oil to be had on the west coast. But as always everyone sees oil as a curse but its not, and Scotland does have more than oil its economy. Whiskey which is one product generates £4.25Bn worth of exports and £1Bn in tax, it makes up a quarter of all UK food and drink revenues and it is also one of the UK's overall top 5 manufacturing export earners, this is from one product.
but we can all quote figures from various sources, but at the end of the day if you like it or not and if Scotland will be better or worse off at least it will be free to make its own decisions on everything which is worth much more than money.

Less than two years ago the EU stooges, Salmond and Sturgeon declared it was a "once in a lifetime opportunity".
You don't get to do independence referendum based on annual polling, feelings or the frickin weather. It's unconstitutional and won't pass as easily, if at all. Unless the British are confident the separatist minority will loose.

At the end of the day (under such a scenario) Scotland will be under EU control, like Lithuania, tiny and unarmed. But also with the gigantic deficit like Greece or Spain circa 2009 and debt approaching 100% of its GDP. And belonging to a currency Union like the Euro (compulsory for EU entry) means it won't be a free country. A couple of billion from oil (at the very best) and a few more from whisky and tourism won't cut it. All that will go to service their debt.
Scotland will be in EU Austerity Program from the moment it becomes independent, gets kicked out of the Pound and is forced to join the EU.
PS. with oil less than 100 $ pb nobody cares go offshore in the Atlantic, Iran is back in the game this year too and production is high

i am guessing that you are anti Scottish, because you surely can't be anti independence after all Macedonia got its independence in September 1991 or would you rather it wasn't?
you keep comparing Scotland to Lithuania but Lithuanian and Scottish are completely different and Scottish economy is much better and GDP is way more different scottish GDP 209,869Bn euros compaired to Lithuanian GDP 37Bn. exports for Lithuania 25Bn euros and Scotland 93.5Bn euros,
Scottish economy as you mention whiskey, oil, and tourism (£5Bn) but also includes:
Manufacturing (including ship building which being independent could make ships for whoever they wish)
Construction (£11.5Bn)
Financial Services (around £7Bn) and (Scotland is one of the world's biggest fund management centres with over £300bn worth of assets directly serviced or managed in the country)
Electronics (Scotland produces 28% of Europe's PCs; more than seven per cent of the world's PCs; and 29% of Europe's notebooks) (and it even has its own mini Silicon valley called Silicon Glen)
Fishing industry (it lands over 60% of the total catch in the UK)
(The natural resource base for renewables is extraordinary by European, and even global standards. Scotland has an estimated potential of 36.5 GW of wind and 7.5 GW of tidal power, 25% of the estimated total capacity for the European Union and up to 14 GW of wave power potential, 10% of EU capacity.
I am proud of my country (Scotland) and want the people of Scotland to be able to make there own decisions on everything and nobody can say that they wouldnt want the same for their country. And the best people to tell you how it really is and how it actually feels is the people actually living there too many people read BBC propaganda machine its always better to do your own homework to find more accurate info.
d_taddei2 wrote: i am guessing that you are anti Scottish
I appreciate the overblown talking points. I've seen some of them before, they don't add anything to this debate. This is not about the Economy of UK Scotland. A subsidized, semi-federal region of the UK (a unitary sovereign country and net EU contributor). Being warned of the dangers involved joining the EU in 2016 is just that. I'm not anti anything, just pro logic. People are free to be ill-informed and bury their heads in the sand.
The strong aspects in any pre-EU Economy matter little in an ensuing decade of EU candidacy and/or membership and could be erased altogether. Yet I will focus here: "Scotland produces 28% of Europe's PC". Well... Even if you claimed assembly of certain parts it would still be a bold statement, but fascinating stuff nevertheless that doesn't mean much.
Lithuania was mentioned due to its comparable, very small population before secession and the ensuing huge flight of human capital after they declared independence, continuing non-stop even after joining EU in 2004, to this very day. Nearly 1 million, 20% of its people have abandoned the country. They also foolishly joined the Euro, having witnessed its structural faults and stagnation.
Greece and Spain were mentioned due to the systemic high deficit they used to exhibit before EU Austerity kicked in, and destroyed their Economies, with the former loosing over 1/4 of its GDP. Now deficit of 10% GDP for Scotland is a humongous number, with crisis-ridden Greece at 7% and Spain at 5%.
Scotland going it alone and joining the EU, say in 2020 will face big problems. The poor numbers will earn Scotland, in the real world, credit ratings of pretty much junk, no ability to issue and sell bonds in the markets and thus Brussels slapping them with an Austerity programme, as failing to fulfill Maastricht/EU Treaty criteria and possibly unable to stay afloat. And that is if their plea for instant accession after indy2 referendum is accepted by Brussels (not likely).
Again, let that sink in for a moment:

Interesting post but I think you have far less to worry about than you think.
There is no indication the the Brexit 'team' have any intention of either sending back wholesale or stopping the flow of people to/from the EU. The economic case is too strong for that and the British are not known for turning down profit opportunities. The problem that will be addressed is the shear numbers, that we can't cope with.
Much more likely is that the flows will be controlled, as they used to be, by work permits/visas. Those already here will, in the main if they are in employment, be issued with permits and stay whilst those we need can come. This is especially true for seasonal workers who will come and go, as in the past, rather than try and stay all year as now.
This is beneficial for the EU as well, they will not want these people home to possible unemployment plus they get the money sent home. In return they will not want to send back to the UK our nationals, they are too economically valuable to them. Just think of the effect on Spain if they had to send back our retirees. A property crash, followed by a Spanish bank crash followed by a Euro central bank crisis.
Now the Remain fear strategy is gone we are going to find that down at our level very little will actually change and I suspect in a couple of years time a lot of the Remain people will be wondering what all the fuss was about. As they watch the continuing turmoil over the Channel.
Why shall I have fear ?
I'm British citizen, my kids are (or will be soon) British as well.
I think you don't get my main point:
In the UK( or as a matter of fact, everywhere around the world) there is a buyers market for workforce.
The business for I work has more profit than the whole sallary+bonus pool.
The sallaries are pushed down by the spanish and polish, because they are representing an infinite supply from a disfuntional monetary zone (zloty and euro)
Due to that the sallaries stagnationg.
Eight years ago I came to Britain for the same salalry that I made at home, but now the market price droped way bellow that.
Means in eight years time the only sallary increase happaned due to the minimal wage increase, not due to job market pressure on the restricted supply side.
So, this brexit is a very good thing actualy.And hopefully it will start a process that makes free the Spain,Greece, France, ITaly and so on.

Scotland welcome to join EU, Merkel ally says
An independent Scotland would be welcome to join the European Union, a senior German lawmaker and ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel has said after Britain's vote to leave the bloc.
"The EU will still consist of 28 member states, as I expect a new independence referendum in Scotland, which will then be successful," said Gunther Krichbaum, a member of Merkel's conservatives and chairman of the European affairs committee in parliament.
"We should respond quickly to an application for admission from the EU-friendly country," he told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday that Scotland will do whatever it takes to remain in the EU, including potentially blocking legislation on a British exit from the bloc.
While Britain as a whole voted narrowly to leave the EU in last Thursday's referendum, Scotland voted by a 62 percent to 38 percent margin to remain. In a referendum in 2014 Scotland voted 55 percent to 45 percent to stay part of the United Kingdom, but polls show that support for independence has since risen.

Better mental health for men and boys is top of mind on International Men's Day
Written by Gavin on 18th November 2020
International Men's Day is celebrated in at least 60 countries around the world on 19 November, and aims to address wide issues relevant to men in a gender-inclusive way. Every year, it's marked by more and more women, men and organisations across Wales and the UK.
In the UK, this year's theme is 'Better health for men and boys'.
International Men's Day in the UK takes a gender-inclusive approach, and therefore believes in ensuring that issues affecting women and girls are also resolved. It recognises the intersection between gender and other factors, such as race and sexuality, which can compound the inequalities affecting men and boys.
The Deputy Minister and Chief Whip, Jane Hutt, said:
"International Men's Day is an important opportunity to highlight the problems and issues which men continue to face, both here in Wales and around the globe. It gets people talking and supporting each other – and that is such an important step.
"We know some issues affect men and women differently. We know that mental health, loneliness and isolation are not solely issues for men, but we also know that men are often less likely to seek help when they need it.
"Gender stereotyping cannot and should not be ignored. It is an enduring issue which underpins so much of our lives, whether we realise it or not. From the day we are born, it can influence the clothes we wear; the toys we play with; the subjects we study; our personality traits, confidence levels, choice of hobbies and social activities; our role in the family, and our choice of career."
Paul, a construction worker, said:
"I've worked in the construction industry for 40 years. It is hard, physical work against the clock, which takes its toll on your body, but it's also lonely work, which takes its toll on your mind.
"Over the years, I've spent weeks and months at a time working away from home, with people I don't know well. There's a certain 'macho' image to uphold – you can't just say to a male work-mate: "Hey, I'm feeling a bit down today." It isn't right, but I'd get laughed off site.
"As I get older, I'm also aware that I'm getting slower. Of course that's a worry – if I can't keep working, I won't get paid, and can't look after my family. Depression is a familiar part of my everyday life, and yes, I've thought about suicide."
Men's Sheds are one way Welsh Government has been supporting men like Paul.
Jane Hutt continued:
"The Sheds combine social activities with tackling serious issues, and get people talking and supporting each other.
"The success of the Men's Sheds movement around the world shows just how effective this approach can be. It's a simple idea which has the power to transform lives.
"We have also provided a grant of £47,000 to the DPJ Foundation – a rural mental health charity – to extend its existing 1-2-1 counselling into North Wales, ensuring the service is available right across Wales.
"We all need to be aware of the damage caused by mental health and wellbeing issues, and to tackle these issues to ensure that our future generations are not limited or harmed by them.
"Mental health and loneliness can affect us all – regardless of age, gender, status or location. If we don't seek the help we need, the impact on our wellbeing can be devastating."
The Minister for Mental Health, Wellbeing and Welsh Language, Eluned Morgan, said:
"I recognise how difficult it is for people to talk about their mental health – particularly for men. We have set out a range of actions in our Together for Mental Health Delivery Plan and our suicide prevention strategy, Talk to Me Two, to reduce stigma and encourage people to seek help for their mental wellbeing.
"We are also supporting a number of programs focused on men's mental health, such as the LetsTalkMensMentalhealth campaign on social media. We have made a wide range of self-help resources available online or over the phone to encourage more people to access support.
"This year, more than ever, for today's International Men's Day let's focus on ensuring all men are supported with their mental wellbeing. Reach out and speak to your friends and family, and encourage others to do the same."
