These podcasts are drawn from Naturally Intelligent by Design– a fine art picture book and poetic tale that illuminates the creative strategies of 365 animals to adapt to a changing world. Their biological designs, community dynamics, lifestyles, movement, behavior– natural intelligence, can inspire us every day of the year to live happy, healthy, sustainable lives.
I am inspired to be my confident me, like the Giraffe who stands tall amidst iconic wild giants in the savannah grass. Fearless, she travels far and wide- even 100 miles in stride. Giraffe feed on luscious, high quality acacia buds across this sub-Saharan countryside- yes, in Africa where giraffe reside. The hard-to-reach desert greens keep her lean and mean—always ready to deliver a fierce kick to another wild animal, who on her travels may make her ticked. That said, the Giraffe is generally a gracious, elegant soul. She's always thinking of the collective whole. And, when bending down in her awkward way in the blazing heat of the day to drink from the desert's scarce water bowl, she can rise swiftly from the deck to avert an impending threat. But, when danger comes rather close– as inevitably it will, camouflage is always her first defense drill. Normally, she blends in well behind her yellow and orange-checkered skin– when mixed into the desert brush or a cluster of protective kin. Remaining frozen in her track, she'll hope that the pattern on her back and her family pack hides her well and protects her from attack. Then, if approached by a predator in the open desert alone, she'll never submit and always transmit a low frequency lull – audible only to other giraffe on a stroll or by the water hole, warning them a lioness is on patrol.
Reflection: What non-verbal ways do we well communicate with our family to protect our kin?
Challenge: Watch for moments of tension with your fellow humans throughout the day and choose to respond to anger or potential threat by first freezing in your track and instead of retaliating, rather reflecting on a proactive reaction which best serves the collective whole.

(without opening a gum flap to see the bone) without sutures. The implant is allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for two to four months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the "post" that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time. Because Dr. Abe uses Computer Guided Implant Placement and one stage implants, normally only one surgery is required.
Normally after several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. The type of implants placed by Dr. Abe does not require the second healing phase because he generally uses one stage implants. A post is then fitted to the implant in preparation for artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, by the general dentist, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.

Review: Warm Bodies
Jess Adducci — January 14, 2013
Somehow, I've become "the zombie chick". Alright, true, no one has actually called me that. But considering the glow-in-the-dark zombie play set on my wall, "A Zombie's Guide to Zombies" on my shelf, and other zombie paraphernalia I've received as gifts over the years… well, I think it's safe to assume. I don't know when it happened. Maybe it was because I made a (horrible) zombie film in college? Is that really all it takes?
But somewhere along the trashed, postapocalyptic road, I started to really like zombies. And I started living up to my implied moniker.
When it comes to zombies in cinema, some might argue that the genre is over-saturated. But every once in a while, a gem comes out that makes the other B-movies worth sifting through. Zombieland did that. Walking Dead, venturing into the TV arena, did that. And then comes a love story about a zombie coming back to life after falling for a beautiful resistance chick. Warm Bodies.

PM Imran's US visit to promote soft image of Pakistan: Firdous
The Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday has quite strongly condemned the fresh terror incidents of Dera Gsazi Khan and expressed complete solidarity and sympathy with the martyred and the injured persons.
While addressing a press conference in a local hotel at Kashmir road, here, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan further stated that Pakistan had bravely and gallantly been fighting its war against terror and the personnel from the law enforcing agencies and the civilians population had offered valuable sacrifice in that connection. She vowed that such coward acts of terrorism could never deter the spirit of peace and harmony among the people Pakistan.
The Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan termed the general election in the areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (PK), which had formerly been known as FATA, as a great victory of peace and democracy loving people of the tribal areas. She said that the residents of the tribal areas had paid great human price for the establishment of sustainable peace in their terror hit localities. Sh said also that that holding of smooth and transparent elections in the tribal areas had proved that terrorism had lost grounds there and peace had won. She said that the election in the tribal areas would certainly initiate new era of peace and prosperity there as atmosphere of terror and horror had ended. She said that the independent candidates, who had won the election, would certainly support Pakistan Tehrik e Insaf (PTI).
While commenting on the Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to United States (US), the Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that he (Prime Minister Imran Khan) had set a unique and great example of simplicity by using a commercial flight to go to US, instead of using a private and luxurious jet. She opined that such a move from the Prime Minister would greatly help in promoting the image of Pakistan and the current government, in the international community. She lamented that the former rulers used to take scores of family members, other relatives and friend to the foreign tours on the expanses from the state. She further added that such elements had now a days made democracy as 'a shelter' in order to safe their assets, accumulated through huge corruption.
While criticizing an earlier statement of Maryam Nawaz, the senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Dr Firdous Ashaq Awan said that the 'Raj Kumai' was not aware of the fact that the then Army Chiefs had accompanied Youaf Raza Gillani, Mian Nawaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi during their visits to US as prime ministers, which meant that they too were 'selected'.

Il Blériot-SPAD S.42, citato anche semplicemente come SPAD S.42, era un aereo da addestramento monomotore biplano sviluppato dall'azienda francese Blériot-SPAD nei primi anni venti.

Sviluppato dal precedente caccia SPAD S.VII per rispondere ad una specifica dell'Armée de terre, l'esercito francese, equipaggiò anche le aeronautiche militari di Giappone ed Iran.

Storia del progetto
Dopo il termine della prima guerra mondiale la Francia iniziò uno sviluppo del proprio parco velivoli per dotare i propri reparti di modelli specificatamente progettati per la formazione dei piloti.

In quest'ambito la Blériot-SPAD decise di realizzare un nuovo modello adatto all'addestramento avanzato abbinando una fusoliera derivata da quella del monoposto SPAD S.VII, ma dotata di due abitacoli separati, ad una velatura dal tipico disegno Herbemont, biplana con il piano alare superiore molto distanziato dalla fusoliera allo scopo di offrire un eccellente campo visivo.

Il prototipo venne portato in volo per la prima volta il 6 agosto 1921: era caratterizzato dalla presenza di doppi comandi ed equipaggiato con un motore Hispano-Suiza da 180 CV (132 kW). Le prove che ne seguirono furono giudicate soddisfacenti e l'azienda decise, al termine dei collaudi, di avviarne la produzione in serie a seguito di numerose commesse.

Il modello ricevette l'attenzione da parte delle autorità della Marine nationale, la marina militare francese, che decise di emettere un ordine di fornitura per trenta esemplari, uno dei quali venne impiegato in via sperimentale sulla portaerei Béarn. Venne inoltre acquistato dalla Persia, due esemplari, e dal Giappone, anch'esso in due esemplari, trovando impiego presso le rispettive forze aeree.

Nel 1923 venne avviato un programma di sviluppo atto a migliorare le caratteristiche del modello, dando vita ad un nuovo velivolo, indicato come S.62, che tuttavia non superò mai la fase di prototipo.

Impiego operativo

Militare
Le diverse fonti reperite non concordano sul numero di esemplari prodotti ed alcune indicano che l'Aéronautique navale, la componente aerea della Marine nationale, prese in carico solo 10 esemplari utilizzandoli in servizio operativo dal 1924 al 1928.

Dell'utilizzo da parte delle autorità militari persiane e giapponesi, se non del loro acquisto, non si hanno notizie di dettaglio.

Civile
Un esemplare risulta essere stato impiegato in voli di propaganda al di fuori dei confini francesi, mentre un secondo risulta iscritto ad una competizione aeronautica destinata ad aerei da turismo svoltasi in Francia nel 1923.

Sempre dalla medesima fonte risulta anche che due esemplari vennero presi in carico dalla scuola di volo Blériot.

The work was inspired by my years as a stay home mum: washing baby bottles, being lonely and tired, and feelings of exclusion and isolation. It was also inspired by a need to live for the very moments with my children and about my dreams of booking last minute kitchen getaways far far away . The installation consists of textiles, sound space work, and sculptures. The communal sound space work is made up by lullabies sung by mothers speaking different languages, and sounds of housework. My goal was to create a space where the experience that unites all mothers is highlighted.

Q: Apache Cordova 5.4.0 gitignore Was doing some google search and trying to find exactly what project specific folders/files should be in my gitignore file. Below is what I been thinking it should be, but not sure. Any recommendations?
### Project Specific ###

platforms
plugins

A: I agree about platforms but less about plugins.
I think it's a good thing to keep track of what version of plugins you've been using in a specific version of your app.
New version of plugins may come with bug corrections or with new bugs or sometimes some plugins repositories may disapear and you wouldn't be able to build your app without finding a replacement.
I keep the plugins folder under version control. What I added to ignore list is the platform specific json files in the plugins folder like android.json, ios.json,windows.json...

As he ignores election defeat, Trump to pardon turkey
Tue, November 24 by ABC News

HomePoliticsAs he ignores election defeat, Trump to pardon turkey
By JORDYN PHELPS, ABC News
(WASHINGTON) — While President Donald Trump continues to resist the American tradition of conceding his election defeat, he will take part in another time-honored tradition Tuesday: Pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey.
The annual event typically serves as a light-hearted reprieve from the partisan rancor of Washington, with the president delivering remarks stuffed with bad puns and concluding with a playful pardon of a turkey.
This year, the atmosphere surrounding Tuesday's pardon is notably more subdued. The president has largely remained out of public view since his election defeat, not taking a single question from reporters in the three weeks since and has instead fired off angry missives on Twitter falsely claiming he won the election.
He has also largely ignored the coronavirus pandemic raging across the country, holding one event touting progress with vaccines while failing to acknowledge the U.S. COVID-19 death toll passing 250,000.
Ahead of Tuesday's event, the president made a surprise appearance in the White House press briefing room, where he delivered remarks for just 63 seconds to tout the stock market and vaccine progress before promptly departing without taking questions.
In the first major sign of the president accepting the reality of his defeat, the Trump administration on Monday formally recognized the Biden transition, freeing up government resources and outgoing and incoming teams to coordinate. The president subsequently tweeted that the cooperation did not amount to a concession.
Despite the president's relatively quiet public presence since the election — most days, he has had nothing on his public schedule, and he has spent his weekends golfing — he made an exception for the annual turkey-pardoning tradition.
This year's turkeys are named Corn and Cob and they hail from a farm in Iowa.
The White House has posted a poll on Twitter, asking people to vote for which turkey they'd prefer to take the title of National Thanksgiving Turkey. As of noon on Tuesday, Corn had a nearly eight-point lead on Cobb in the poll.
It remained to be seen if the president would honor the unofficial poll in choosing which bird to officially pardon this year.
But as the president now contests the results of his own election loss, a joke he made during the 2018 turkey pardon has taken on new meaning. At the time, the president joked that the losing turkey, Carrots, was refusing to concede defeat and was contesting the election results.
"The winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election conducted on the White House website. This was a fair election," the president joked to laughter. "Unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount, and we're still fighting with Carrots."
"I will tell you, we've come to a conclusion: Carrots, I'm sorry to tell you, the result did not change. It's too bad for Carrots," the president joked.
But while only one turkey wins the official title of National Thanksgiving Turkey each year, the reality is that neither turkey will lose its life as a result of the White House ceremony.
Both lucky birds will instead go to Virginia Tech University, where they will live out the remainder of their natural lives at a facility known as "Gobbler's Rest" like the National Thanksgiving Turkeys that have gone before them.
The tradition of the president pardoning a turkey can be traced back as far as President Abraham Lincoln, who spared a turkey from becoming the family's Christmas meal at the intervention of his son.
But the tradition of the formal turkey pardoning, as we know it today, didn't start in earnest until President George H.W. Bush in 1989, who jokingly passed down a pardon to the turkey presented to him as animal rights activists protested nearby, according to the White House Historical Association.

The demolition of the former National Stadium in 2010 and the construction of a new National Stadium within the Singapore Sports Hub does bring to mind an art installation I stumbled upon at Sculpture Square back in 2010 – around the time the demolition work started. The work of local artist Ngim Kum Thong, Deconstruction, Destruction and Destination, examines the inevitability of deconstruction and destruction, the eventuality of which is a destination – much as what we have seen in the dismantling and demolition of an icon and the creation of another to replace it.
The sun sets on the National Staidum. The final stand as the old stadium built in 1973 was being demolished at the end of 2010.
The former National Stadium, was completed in 1973, playing host to Singapore's very first mass participation international sports event. Through the years, the 55,000 seat capacity stadium (it did take in crowds as large as 70,000 during its early days hosting Malaysia Cup matches) played host to many sports events including the well supported Malaysia Cup football matches and also National Day parades. It's demolition in the second half of 2010 was a long delayed one – work on the Singapore Sports Hub was originally meant to have started back in 2008. More recently an announcement was made by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) on the occasion of the Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth's visit to view the installation of the highest truss of the new stadium – approximately 77.5 metres above pitch level, confirms that the project is on track and the stadium will be opened as scheduled in April 2014.
The sun rises on the new. The new National Stadium and the Sports Hub takes shape – seen in April 2013. The Sports Hub is scheduled to be completed in April 2014.

The organization went from middling-at-best to top of the league in less than six months.
After struggling to find success in the Oceania Pro League for the last few years, the Bombers have finally cracked the code in the first split of 2019. They cleanly dispatching of Mammoth in their final game to finish the OPL season in first place with a 19-2 record.
The Essendon Football Club-backed outfit soared to the top of the OPL ladder after a complete rebuild in the offseason shook up the heads of state in Australia. With the Dire Wolves losing the majority of their championship-winning roster and the creation of the Mammoth superteam, the top of the OPL ladder has looked starkly different compared to previous years.
While their final match against Mammoth started off with an awkward tower dive in the bot lane leading to a two-for-one trade in favor of Mammoth, the Bombers slowly snowballed the game out of control thanks to great roams by Min "Mimic" Ju-seong's Lissandra.
Victor "FBI" Huang showed why he's the best marksman in Oceania with a great performance on Vayne, cleaning up teamfights while kiting with perfection on his way to an 8/3/3 scoreline.
Importing unknown Korean jungler Choi "BalKhan" Hyun-jin has paid off for the Bombers, finishing the regular season with one of the best KDAs in the league at 4.71, as well as the highest gold per minute for a jungler at 391. Scouted off his solo queue performances, BalKhan has integrated well into the Bombers lineup, even with the language barrier.
The Chiefs Esports Club have secured second place and a seed at Rift Rivals as well off the back of Bombers' victory. AD carry Quin "Raes" Korebrits has been a shining light for the team, carrying the Chiefs to many victories—including two against the table-topping Bombers—throughout split one.
The OPL gauntlet will start in the next couple of weeks, and the winner will represent Oceania at MSI.

Thank you for the kind donation without which I would of not bean able to do so much with Wish. At the Center for America's First Horse there is so much to do with Wish like riding, liberty, ground work and trail rides. Thank you so much for the scholarship!
I have also made a lot of new friends to spend time with. When we are there all together we like to play horses too, not just work and ride them. I have learned so much, and the instructor Mrs. Lockhart is also very nice.
And, doing chores at the Center is not hard, sometimes it is FUN!
I have included a story I wrote about Wish's first horse competition and our dressage tests.
"Nea, nea" as we are pulling in the long narrow driveway. "We're here, we're here" I said VERY happy as we came to a stop. "Are you ready for a long exciting day?" Mom asked. "Yes!" as I am going out of the car. "Here's WIsh" said Stephanie my instructor. "Let's get her ready!" she said. "Okay. Mom, can you get my jacket." "Okay." "Let's go to your first test." In the inside I was nervous and excited at the same time because it was Wish's and my first show together. I went in the BRIGHT WHITE ring and did my test and came out. "One more to go" I thought. I got off to let her graze. Then Stephanie went to go do something and came back with a ribbon. I could not tell what color it was at first, but then I got a blue ribbon! That is first place, I was so excited. I got back on Wish and went in the ring again and did my next test. When I came out I was excited, I thought me and Wish did an awesome job! I got off and untacked her, put her in the trailer, and Stephanie came back with a ribbon. It was a first place again! I was really happy! We went back to the barn then. I put Wish away in her pasture and said to her "let's do it some more" and we did!


Remember back in the good ol days (circa: early 2000s) when Mike Jones was blowing up everyone's radio station and inviting you to give him a call? 281-330-8004 was present on damn near everyone's call log and was a genius marketing ploy that still has us waxing nostalgic about the days when tall tees were acceptable attire.
Anyway tho, Nike takes a page out of Mike's book as they ready themselves for March Madness aka one of their greatest release month's ever. With Air Max Day rolling in on the 26th, you'd think the folks at the Swoosh would be way too busy with that to give us anything else. Nope. They're cool like that and Tinker Hatfield, legendary sneaker gawd, left us a voicemail to prove it.
Place a call to 1-800-250-2652 (or 800-023-4844 for those of you across the pond in the UK) and you'll hear Tinker himself deliver a message about the return of the runner's dream on March 31st: the Nike Air Zoom Talaria.
The original Air Zoom Talaria, which released in 1997, will make it's triumphant return later this month. Originally designed by Tinker and one of the first sneakers to feature Nike's Zoom technology and flex grooves, the updated model will receive it's redesign courtesy of NikeLab and, wild guess, Tinker.
Look out for more on this release and be sure hit that hotline.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 goes official w/ native DeX desktop interface, 10.5-inch display, S-Pen
Ben Schoon

@NexusBen
Over the past few weeks we've been hearing a lot about Samsung's Galaxy Tab S4, and today the company has made its latest flagship tablet offering official.
Announced ahead of its Galaxy Note 9 launch next week, the Galaxy Tab S4 has been revealed in a post on Samsung's Newsroom. The new premium tablet shares a lot in common with the Tab S3 from last year, and it's more notable new addition is a desktop interface courtesy of DeX.
Starting off with the DeX integration, Samsung has brought the same desktop-like interface that its smartphones can show on a monitor via a dock, but it works natively on the Tab S4's 10.5-inch display. The DeX interface works with apps like Microsoft's Office suite and lets users resize apps with multiple windows open at once. This interface only opens, though, when the device is attached to Samsung's keyboard cover.
With the Galaxy Tab S4, Samsung is bringing Samsung DeX to the tablet for the first time. When connected to the optional Book Cover Keyboard (sold separately) or launched from the Quick Panel, the Galaxy Tab S4 powers on Samsung DeX, giving users the option to switch from the Android interface to a desktop experience. With Samsung DeX, you can open multiple desktop-style windows for your Android apps, including the Microsoft Office suite, directly on the Galaxy Tab S4, and re-size them when needed. Drag and drop content between apps and use keyboard shortcuts and commands for efficiency.
DeX can also be displayed on a larger monitor with the use of a USB-C to HDMI cable, and the tablet itself can even still be used with a standard Android interface while in this mode.
Another point Samsung advertises on the Galaxy Tab S4 is productivity with the S-Pen. Like with the Tab S3, this is included in the box and gives users the ability to use Screen-Off Memo, take notes in Samsung Notes, and use the Live Message feature which debuted on the Note 8.
As expected, the Galaxy Tab S4 has a larger 10.5-inch, 2560×1600 AMOLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and narrower bezels. This also eliminates the physical home button, replaced with on-screen navigation, and the fingerprint reader, replaced with an iris scanner. Samsung is also once again touting AKG audio on the Tab S4 with Dolby Atmos in tow.
Powering the experience, the Tab S4 has a Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB or 256GB of storage, and Android 8.1 Oreo. There's also a 7,300 mAh battery with USB-C and fast charging, as well as a 13MP/8MP camera array and optional LTE. Pricing starts at $649 and the tablet will be available next week through Best Buy, Amazon, and other select retailers.

Q: Why UDP multicasts not received on my sockets? I have computer with three network interfaces - one real and two VMWare virtual. I want to receive multicast messages from UPNP devices on port 1900.
I try to enum all adapters and create one socket per adapter. Also, I set socket option ReuseAddr, turn off ExclusiveAddrUse socket option, and add each socket to multicast group 239.255.255.250. And I bind socket to the addr: InterfaceAddr:1900
The problem is that only one socket receives messages - one of VMWare net sockets. netstat -a -o -p UDP >netstat.txt shows me that all my sockets are listening:
Proto  Local address          Peer address                           PID    App
UDP    0.0.0.0:1900           *:*                                    5248   uTorrent
UDP    127.0.0.1:1900         *:*                                    3932   myApp
UDP    127.0.0.1:1900         *:*                                    1400   svchost
UDP    192.168.0.100:1900     *:*                                    3932   myApp
UDP    192.168.0.100:1900     *:*                                    1400   svchost
UDP    192.168.139.1:1900     *:*                                    1400   svchost
UDP    192.168.139.1:1900     *:*                                    3932   myApp       +
UDP    192.168.180.1:1900     *:*                                    1400   svchost
UDP    192.168.180.1:1900     *:*                                    3932   myApp

Only socket marked with '+' receives UPNP multicasts. But Wireshark shows me that there are many other packets which are not received by me. Where is my wrong?
UPD1 My code is runing on the host (Windows 7), and there is no virtual machines running at that moment. I have some UPNP devices (router etc) in my real net - 192.168.0.* which are also sends some notifications, but I can't receive them. UPNP NOTIFY messages over virtual network 192.168.139.* are sent by host (ms player/renderer/etc). Such notifications also are sent over all available networks, but I receive them only on 192.168.139.1 interface.
UPD2 I rewrite my code to use single socket and bind it to INADDR_ANY:1900. First time when I starts new version all works fine - I receive all UPNP messages from all devices over my virtual or real networks. But next time when I start my application, I can see that notifications from only 192.168.139.* net are received - all is as in starting question.
UPD3 I turn off all virtual network adapters and keep on only real adapter. In this configuration both versions of code (one socket binded to all addresses/one socket per interface) works fine.
About MCVE It is not so easy to make MCVE, so now I'm trying to understand by the symptoms what occur.
Pseudo code
hSock = :: socket( AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP );

u_long nb = 1;
::ioctlsocket( hSock, FIONBIO, &nb);

reuseAddrSet(hSock, TRUE);
reusePortSet(hSock, TRUE);

if (useSingleSocket)
    bindSocket(hSock, "any-addr");
else
    bindSocket(hSock, "interface-addr");

broadcastModeSet(hSock, TRUE);

setSockOption( hSock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, { "any-addr", "239.255.255.250" } );

UPD4 I found next note about multicasting (here - http://www4.ncsu.edu/~rhee/clas/csc495j/mcast.api.txt):

Every membership is associated with a single interface, and it is
  possible to join the same group on more than one interface.
  "imr_interface" should be INADDR_ANY to choose the default multicast
  interface, or one of the host's local addresses to choose a particular
  (multicast-capable) interface. Up to IP_MAX_MEMBERSHIPS (currently 20)
  memberships may be added on a single socket.

As followed from note above, the code
setSockOption( hSock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, { "any-addr", "239.255.255.250" }

adds only default multicast interface to multicast group, and not for all interfaces, as I assumed initially. So, I need to enum interfaces and call
setSockOption( hSock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, { "interface-addr", "239.255.255.250" }

for single socket, or call it for each per-interface socket with the same address as used to bind soxket.
I'm right?

A: As written in UPD4 the socket user MUST add the socket to multicast group using interface address. Using INADDR_ANY when adding socket to multicast group adds only default multicast interface to multicast group, so the only one interface can receive multicast messages.
Also, as we know, there is an OS limit for number of socket's multicast groups, and so more pretty way is to create one socket per each network interface.

As the issues surrounding the Greek economy and overall financial situation continue to linger, some wonder as to whether the turmoil will discourage foreigners from travel to Greece. However, this country may prove to be a big bargain for business and recreational travelers as the Greek economy is battered in global markets.
Many resorts seem largely insulated and, last year, Greek ministers pressed to keep tourism flowing by not limiting tourist cash withdrawals from ATM's. However, as a sign of the times, some of Greece's famous museums and monuments are increasing their prices to offset the nationwide financial crisis. Despite this, competitive prices across many tourist related service industries such as car rentals and hotels, may yet prove that travelers should take a look at visiting Greece.
It may be a good time to visit Greece, but travel security and a preemptive exit strategy should be of concern to any foreign traveler. Since 2007, the Greek economy has contracted nearly 25 percent, leading to much unemployment as well as major losses to personal wealth and pensioners' security. This climate, while favorable to those travelers seeking to take advantage of the exchange rate, is also one conducive to civil unrest that can turn violent quite quickly and without much forewarning.
For instance, in February 2015, many anti-establishment protesters clashed with police in Athens, leading to smashed windows, scorched cars, and street fires from petrol bombs. The US State Department advises travelers to have many types of payment with them for additional Greek travel security, such as foreign credit and debit cards as well as emergency cash. If major banks collapse, panic could lead to long lines at ATMs as well as empty cash machines altogether.
Whether heading to Greece for business or recreational travel, the global financial calamity is still an issue and runs the risk of affecting the Greek island economies as well; areas previously unaffected, with visits up 30% from 2011. Despite limitations in ATM withdrawals and cash accessibility, the crisis could additionally affect supply chains to these large tourist destinations, such as the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Both business and leisure travelers should be preemptive in currency supply and have several different methods of egress should the Greek economy face more difficulties in the coming months.

When I ask left-arm spinner Linsey Smith what it felt like to make her England debut at a World Cup, as she did against Bangladesh on Monday, the word she uses most often is "surreal".
"I really didn't think this day was going to come," she says.
Twelve months ago Smith nearly walked away from cricket altogether. At the age of 23, it's clear she thought her international hopes were behind her; she was also finding it increasingly difficult to juggle her training as an England Academy player with full-time employment.
"I'd finished university, I was coaching for Leicestershire and I didn't really have much else apart from cricket," she says. "It all got a bit too much for me and I wasn't enjoying it. I thought 'I need to make a change'. I took a step back from training for a bit."
"The ECB were really good. I spoke to Robbo [coach Mark Robinson] about what we were trying to work towards and what he wanted from me.
"I'd planned to go to Australia this winter to play out there, I thought I'd try something new, but after this year's Super League he said, 'you're on the radar. Either stay here and try and get a spot and train with us, or go to Australia'. That was the day after I got the visa as well! I decided to stay and try and get that spot, and thankfully it's paid off."
Even so, her selection in this tournament was not a certainty, by any stretch of the imagination. So much so that her parents - who were in St Lucia on Monday to see her presented with her England cap - booked to watch the England men's team play in Sri Lanka. "When I told them I'd been selected they were a bit like, 'oh! Better cancel that holiday then!'," Smith laughs.
Now here she is in the Caribbean, relishing her new role as an international cricketer. On Monday against Bangladesh she finished with figures of 1 for 17 across four overs, helping England to a seven-wicket victory. The likelihood is that she will be called on frequently to bowl in the Powerplay overs in the remainder of England's WT20 matches. It's a role she has performed admirably in the Kia Super League: she sits atop the list of leading English wicket-takers in KSL Powerplay overs.
"For me that's where I thrive," she says. "I want to be amongst the tense times and where the pressure's on. I'll stand up and take it, stand up and do the best for my team."
Coach Mark Robinson concurs. He describes Smith as "a versatile cricketer that offers something different. She can bowl at what I call the dirty parts of the game, in the Powerplay and the back end of the innings."
Robinson has had his eye on her as an England prospect ever since the inaugural KSL in 2016. That was yet another "sliding doors" moment for Smith, a tournament that she almost didn't play in after missing out on original selection for the Southern Vipers squad. It was only a head-on collision between two Vipers players during the first match of the tournament that led to Smith's call-up as an injury replacement.
"It was pretty devastating not to get in the team originally," she recalls. "I was working for Leicestershire at a Loughborough Lightning game, and [Vipers coach] Nick Denning rang me. He said, 'can you travel up to Lancashire because we need you in the squad?'"
"It was a pretty crazy way to get into the team. Originally it was just to be in the squad for one game, but then thankfully I did well enough and they thought, 'let's keep her on'."
It was in her second match, at the Ageas Bowl, where she suddenly burst onto everyone's radar. She took 4 for 10, with scalps including Alex Blackwell and Katherine Brunt; the match was broadcast on national radio and the commentators, informed late in the day about her selection, looked on in disbelief at this spinner who had come from nowhere. Afterwards, she remembers Robinson approaching her.
"He came over and said, 'well bowled'. And I was in shock because I didn't think he'd know who I was!" The rest, as they say, is history.
Smith's route into cricket came courtesy of her dad and brother. "I started playing when I was about 10 years old," she says. "We moved to Oxfordshire and we joined a local club, Aston Rowant. I thought if my dad and my brother were going to sign up, I might as well do it as well. There wasn't much of a girls section then so I got stuck in with the boys, which is what I've always done really growing up."
Her talent was apparent from an early age: in the 2010 NatWest Under-15s Club Final, aged 14, she took a five-fer, leading Michael Vaughan to tweet: "remember the name: Linsey Smith".
Initially she was a seamer, but she changed to spin five years ago due to an injury niggle. "I'd had some issues with my shins and it got to a point where I was missing quite a lot of cricket," she says. "So I thought 'I'll give spin a go, the run-ups aren't too long!' Thankfully spin has done pretty well for me."
Whatever happens for the rest of the tournament, her selection has already brought Smith something which eluded her for a long time: some measure of financial security. Currently the domestic women's set-up in England, the month-long KSL aside, remains entirely amateur, and Smith has long juggled her cricket commitments with her work as a coach for Leicestershire. It was this overload which almost forced her out of the game prematurely.
That is set to change going forward, after Robinson days ago confirmed she would be given a "Rookie" contract to allow her to train full-time over the winter.
"I came out of the KSL this year thinking, 'right, I need to find a job away from cricket,'" she says. "For them to say, 'you can focus on what you want to do, focus on being a cricketer for England', it's such a relief. I feel very lucky and privileged."

On the closing of churches for onsite services and meetings
On November 25, 2020 November 25, 2020 By Tim ChestertonIn Alberta politics, Church, COVID-19Leave a comment
When I hear that the Alberta Government is allowing churches to hold onsite worship services with 1/3 capacity, I realize that I live in a different world from many other Alberta Christians. Let me explain. Warning: this will not be short.
On Saturday March 14th, early in the morning, I and all my Anglican Diocese of Edmonton clergy colleagues received an email from our Bishop, Jane Alexander, announcing her decision to suspend on-site worship services in the Diocese of Edmonton until further notice because of rising Covid-19 infections. Note: this was before the Government of Alberta shut down on-site services.
I already had my Sunday prep finished and was looking forward to a quiet day at home, but that went out of the window. I knew nothing about Facebook Live and Zoom, but I quickly posted a text version of the Sunday liturgy on our website, recorded YouTube videos of my sermon and the children's talk, and taught myself how to post them.
The next week we live streamed a service from the church using Facebook Live, as well as continuing to post resources to the website as we had done the previous week. It took us about eight weeks to figure out that the reason our live stream from the church was so choppy was nothing to do with our equipment and everything to do with the crappy internet service to the church from Telus. In order to have a good livestream you need about 4 or 5 kbps upload speeds – ours were about 0.8!!! This meant that the livestream was difficult to watch, but nonetheless, our people supported it enthusiastically. I encouraged them to chat with each other in the comments, and it was obvious that they were enjoying not only the content but also the contact with each other.
Eventually we moved the livestream to our house where the internet service is better. This meant we could not have other leaders from the church join in the livestream as it was not a good idea to invite lots of people into our home. But our live streamed services and the materials we post on our website continue to be popular. Between the two platforms I think we reach between 80-100 people a Sunday. Our average on site Sunday attendance last year was 75, so that's not too shabby.
I must emphasize that I wasn't trained to do any of this. Every single technological solution we tried, I had to teach myself to do it. And it all took far longer to prepare for. Normally, to prepare for a Sunday service is about six hours' work for me. Doing it online, it's more like ten.
In late spring and early summer it became possible for us to hold on-site services again. However, people were nervous and most were in no hurry (and I must point out that ours is a very community-oriented church and people really miss meeting each other!). We did a few outdoor services while the weather was warm (first time I'd received Holy Communion in months!!!), and then in October began meeting inside again on Sunday afternoons, while continuing our live streaming on Sunday mornings. Normally our capacity is about 150. However, with two metre social distancing between family groups we could fit at most about 30 people. Not that we ever had that many; most people didn't feel safe, despite all our Covid protocols. The biggest service we had was about 15 people.
We also have several midweek study groups – one on Thursday morning, one on Friday morning, one on Tuesday evening. Since March these have all moved online, using Zoom. Our attendance has actually been better since we took this decision. I have done most of my parish visiting and pastoral counselling by phone, or by Zoom or Facetime or Facebook Messenger video chats. During the summer I was able to do some outdoor one on one pastoral visits, but now it's all indoors again and online. St. Margaret's is currently using a bedroom in my house rent free as my pastoral office!
As Fall progressed, we all watched with increasing unease as the Covid numbers climbed dramatically. Finally, about ten days ago Bishop Jane announced that in order to do what we could to decrease risk of community transmission, she would once again close the churches for onsite worship. Note: for the second time, she was ahead of the Alberta Government, which STILL has not closed the churches.
I am completely on board with what my bishop has done. There is huge risk of community transmission and this is a deadly virus. By now we all know people who have gone down with it, and many of us know people who have died from it. Yes, we know that getting together for worship is a huge comfort for us, giving us a sense of connection with God and each other (and the mental health benefits of churchgoing have been documented). But what if someone dies because of it? How is that loving our neighbour?
So I get very uneasy when I see Christians fighting rigorously for their rights to ignore common sense public health regulations in the name of freedom of worship. My freedom to worship is not restricted! I meet every Sunday with 80-100 people online, and in daily prayers during the week with about 15-20. But even if I was restricted, the restriction is justified because of the danger to people's health. Our God of love does not demand that people worship him at the cost of transmitting a deadly virus to their grandparents!
But I also get uneasy when I see people yelling about how 'churches are getting it easy' under these new government regs. I suspect that we Anglicans aren't the only ones who haven't waited around while the Alberta Government sat on its hands and did nothing. I suspect other mainline denominations have done the same thing as us. But I don't know, because we mainliners don't tend to be pushy people who make a big noise about what we're doing. So it may come as a surprise to some of you non-church people to know that we've already gone far beyond what the government has required of us.
The royal law Jesus laid down in scripture was to love God and love our neighbour. It's often been observed that one of the best ways to love God IS to love our neighbour. We Alberta Anglicans are doing that by staying out of our buildings right now, even though we really, really miss each other and ache to be able to have a proper service, with hugs and hymns and coffee hour and all the rest. But this is what we need to do right now. Please, people, don't wait for the Alberta Government; they've already demonstrated that they'll stall for as long as they can. As I saw on 'Unvirtuous Abbey' a couple of days ago (to slightly paraphrase the words of Joshua 24.15), "As for me and my house, we are staying put!"
What comes after the niqab?
On October 1, 2015 October 1, 2015 By Tim ChestertonIn Alberta politics, Canada, Canadian politicsLeave a comment
I don't very often wear a clerical collar, for all kinds of reasons, but I'm thankful to be free to wear it. There are countries in the world where Christian clergy are banned from wearing any sort of clerical dress.
Apparently Daniel Dennett thinks clergy like me make it our business to control what our 'adherants' know. I assume that he sees my clerical collar as a symbol of oppression. One day Daniel Dennett and people who agree with him may be in a majority, and I may be part of a tiny minority. If the day ever comes when the vast majority of people in Canada are offended by a clerical collar and what it symbolizes to them, will someone try to ban clergy from wearing it?
I'm asking this, because I have seen links to posts on Facebook in which people are seriously saying, not only that women should not be allowed to wear a niqab at a citizenship ceremony, but that the niqab should be banned altogether. Those who claim that the niqab is a symbol of the oppression of women by men, and that no woman ever wears one by her own choice, now want to force women not to wear them. How is that not oppression?
This is the dangerous powder keg that our federal politicians have set a lighted match to in this election campaign. They may not have intended it to go any further than citizenship ceremonies, but extremists are already taking it a lot further.
In this country we have freedom of speech and freedom of expression. In this country I am free to practice my religion. I am even free to say that my allegiance to God is more important to me than my allegiance to Canada. I've been told that our prime minister claims to be an evangelical Christian; if so, I hope he would say the same thing.
Martin Niemöller, famous German pastor from World War Two who had the courage to stand up to Hitler, once said,
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out –
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out
and there was no one left to speak for me.
Indeed. And if I don't speak up when they come for those Muslim women who want the freedom to wear the niqab, who will speak up for me when my turn comes? That's why I want to be included as one of the #peoplelikeNenshi.
A prime example of the hypocrisy of party politics
On September 29, 2015 September 28, 2015 By Tim ChestertonIn Alberta politics, Canada, Canadian politics, Current events, politics1 Comment
I work for a registered charity which is authorized to issue receipts for donations so that people can receive a tax deduction for their generosity. The more they give, the more they get back. When the federal and Alberta amounts are combined, the refund on donations over $200 is close to 50%, which is nothing to sneeze at.
However, our charity (which is a church) is, of course, strictly forbidden from engaging in partisan politics. If we were to do that, we would lose our charitable registration and would no longer be able to issue receipts to our members for tax deductions.
Does it bother me that I can't engage in party politics in my official capacity as pastor of my church? No, not really. On the other hand, if I was working for a charity that was trying to alleviate child poverty in Canada, I might feel a little more constrained by the system. After all, child poverty can't be solved by donations alone. To use an old illustration, if you start noticing that the river is full of drowning babies, it's not enough to have an efficient rescue operation; sooner or later, someone needs to go upstream to find out who's throwing them in. And the answer to that question may well have political implications. But charities aren't allowed to go near that, or they lose their status and their ability to issue income tax receipts.
And now, behold the hypocrisy of the Canadian political system. Today I gave a donation to a Canadian political party (most of you will be able to figure out which one!). On their website, they promptly informed me that according to Canadian law, when income tax time rolls around, I will receive a tax refund equal to 75% of my donation!
That's right, folks. Registered charities can't get involved in party politics or they lose their ability to issue income tax receipts, but if you donate to a Canadian political party (which engages almost exclusively in party politics), you'll get 75% of it back at income tax time. That's over half as much again as you'd get for donating to a charity that helps to feed the poor, as long as they don't get political about it.
You couldn't make this stuff up, could you?
Time to work harder at fixing a broken planet
On May 9, 2015 May 9, 2015 By Tim ChestertonIn Alberta politics, climate change, Environment, politicsLeave a comment
I've just discovered the excellent blog of the Pembina Institute. On the day after the Alberta election, executive director Ed Wittingham wrote an excellent piece on the opportunity for the new Notley government to make a real change in our province's environmental policies. Here's an excerpt:
One of the most pressing issues is Alberta's approach to regulating (and ultimately, reducing) greenhouse gas pollution. The oilsands industry is Canada's fastest-growing source of emissions. By 2020, Environment Canada projects Alberta will be responsible for 40 per cent of all greenhouse gas pollution nationally, with much of this growth coming from oilsands expansion. This upward trend is expected to continue until significant changes are made to the amount of emissions the province will allow, and the price charged to emitters who exceed the limit.
This spring, the NDP criticized the previous government for not doing enough on climate change, with Notley stating that Alberta was "way off track" in relation to its 2020 emissions-reduction commitment, and calling the delay in renewing the provincial climate strategy "profoundly irresponsible".
The challenge of fixing Alberta's flawed climate policies now falls to Notley's government to resolve, and quickly — all eyes are on Alberta now that Ontario and B.C. have announced major next steps toward reducing emissions. After years of being named and shamed at the UN climate negotiations, Canada's credibility at this year's talks in Paris hinges directly on how it plans to address the runaway growth in greenhouse gas pollution coming from the oilsands sector.
I agree. I think it's unconscionable how much of the rhetoric since the election has focused around how the new Alberta government is (in the eyes of the right) going to be an economic disaster for our province. First of all, they haven't even started yet, and since their tax proposals (to give just one example) would still leave corporations better off than they were in 2004 under Ralph Klein, that seems rather far-fetched to me. But secondly, there is no mention at all of the environmental disaster that the PCs were leaving for our grandchildren to clean up (if anyone ever got around to cleaning it up) (see this page on the Pembina Institute website for more details).
The economy is important, of course, but government needs to be about more than the economy. Good stewardship of our natural environment is hugely important if there's going to be anything left to pass on to future generations. The Klein government used to bang on about not leaving a huge government debt for our descendants to deal with. But what about the morality of leaving them a broken planet?

Each pencil is a different grade and terrific for different shading and detail work at a wonderfully low price!!
Does the drawing from this graphite pencil result in a shiny finish?
Thank you for contacting us. The problem with graphite is that it can be polished, like silver. The process is called "burnishing" and it seems that the pencil point itself is a very effective burnishing tool – the back-and-forth motion of the pencil on the page will buff-up your drawing to a mirror shine, and flatten the "tooth" of the paper at the same time. The harder you press with the pencil, and the more you scrub back-and-forth with it while drawing, the smoother and shinier your graphite passages will become. How to prevent graphite shine in a drawing. In my experience, there are only 3 ways to prevent your pencil drawings from becoming burnished: Limit the amount of graphite on the page. Limit how hard you press with the pencil. Limit how many times you rework an area. You can learn more here https://vitruvianstudio.com/3-ways-to-reduce-graphite-shine-in-your-drawings/ Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
The set of 12 includes the following graphite pencils: 2H, H, F, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, and 8B in a tin case.

Japan's Service Activity Saw Modest Expansion in December 2015
By Lara Sheldon
Japanese services PMI slightly changed at 51.5 in December
The service sector accounts for ~72.6% of Japan's GDP. According to Markit, Japan's services PMI (purchasing managers' index) dipped slightly to 51.5 in December 2015, as compared to 51.6 in November 2015.
As a result, the iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) and the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DXJ) fell 1.7% and 2.2%, respectively, on January 6. Over the past month, EWJ and DXJ have declined 4.2% and 12.8%, respectively, as of January 6.
Sony Corporation (SNE), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MTU), Honda Motor Co. (HMC), and Toyota Motor Corporation (TM) fell by 6.6%, 6.0%, 7.3%, and 5.4%, respectively, over the past month as of January 6.
Outlook for 2016 seems positive
Commenting on the Japanese Services PMI survey data, Amy Brownbill, economist at Markit, said in a press release, "New business growth in the service sector accelerated to a four-month high in December, supporting a further increase in both output and employment. With workforce numbers increasing in both the manufacturing and service sector it could lead to a further fall in the official unemployment rate, which dropped to 3.1% in October (the lowest in over 20 years)."
Brownbill added, "Meanwhile, forecasts for output growth over the next 12 months were the strongest since August, suggesting a positive outlook for the New Year."
New product launches help increase demand December
December's readings saw an increase in service sector activity, with a solid rise in new orders. New product launches and their advertising campaigns helped gather steam for new product demand in domestic and international markets.
An increase in new orders led to a rise in employment in December. Despite a rise in workforce numbers, volumes of unfinished business at services firms accumulated.
Input cost increases in December
Input costs for service providers increased with an increase in food costs and staff medicine costs. Japanese service providers passed these increased costs to their customers in December.
With continued strong reading in December, the service sector expects further growth. It is forecasted that stronger demand may be generated from the preparations in hosting the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Responsible lobbying
We strive to engage in constructive dialogue with policymakers and other external stakeholders with the intent to represent the perspective of Novartis in the policy making process. We provide policymakers with data and insights to enable widely informed decision-making. We undertake political activities in a responsible and ethical manner with a view to creating a sustainable business environment that is conducive to improving patient access and outcomes.
Our political activities include responsible lobbying, monitoring of the political environment at a global level, engagement with trade associations and financial contributions to support the political dialogue.
What we lobby for:
Solid protection of intellectual property that incentivizes investment in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D), enables knowledge sharing and allows rapid market access for generic and biosimilar medicines after loss of exclusivity
An agile regulatory framework that champions new science and embraces opportunities from digitalization in healthcare while protecting patient safety and privacy
Rapid patient access to innovation and quality medicines through universal health coverage and solid drug distribution pathways with affordable copayments
Increased efficiency in healthcare systems, through stringent focus on healthcare outcomes, reflected in their general payment policies, as well as in value assessment frameworks for pharmaceuticals
A global trade and business environment that facilitates a global approach to R&D and manufacturing through open markets, non-discrimination and tax frameworks, while acknowledging high risks and long cycle investments
Our guide to responsible lobbying
We are guided by three principles when conducting responsible lobbying:
Principle 1: Transparency, honesty and integrity are the core values reflected in how Novartis conducts lobbying.
Principle 2: All lobbying activities should enable widely informed decision-making in favor of improving and extending people's lives through innovative science and technology, delivering breakthrough treatments to as many people as possible and sustaining a rewarding business environment.
Principle 3: Novartis associates must not attempt to improperly influence any decision by inducing lobbied stakeholders to act or not to act in violation of their lawful duties.
Read the Novartis Global Guideline (PDF 0.1 MB) for responsible lobbying
Novartis Group companies maintain full-time Public Affairs offices in several locations, including our Group Headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, Brussels, Belgium and Washington, D.C. in the United States. Our Public Affairs associates assess regulatory and political decisions with a potential impact on our business and on our patients across the globe.
We work closely with trade associations, which create opportunities to raise industry standards, exchange best practice and help foster framework conditions favorable to investment into R&D. In 2019, Novartis Group companies contributed USD 55.6 million to various major international, regional and country trade associations. Our list of memberships is available in the Novartis in Society ESG report (PDF 6.3 MB).
Novartis only makes political contributions in countries where such contributions by corporations are both legal and generally considered appropriate. We make financial contributions to support political dialogue on issues of relevance to the company, including certain government projects, e.g. capacity-building. Political contributions made by the company are not intended to give rise to any obligations on the part of the recipients, nor with the expectation of a direct or immediate return for Novartis. Such contributions are managed in a balanced way, so as to not disproportionately favor any specific party or political ideology, and need to be fully compliant with applicable laws, regulations and industry codes.
In 2019, Novartis made political contributions totaling approximately USD 1.71 million, of which approximately USD 530 000 were made in Switzerland, USD 1.11 million in the US (including approximately USD 206 000 through the Novartis Political Action Committee), USD 49 000 in Australia and USD 16 000 in Japan. In Switzerland, Novartis supports political parties with a political agenda and positions supporting the strategic interests of the company in pursuit of the company mission. Swiss political parties are completely privately financed, and corporate contributions are considered crucial. The private financing of parties is a deeply rooted trait of Swiss political culture and contributing to the system is an important element of being a good corporate citizen.
The local approval process for making political contributions is explicit. First and foremost all contributions must be compliant with applicable laws, regulations and industry codes. Provision is to be made under a separate budget position and approved in the annual budget process. Funds are disbursed in alignment with Public Affairs and with the approval of Legal, Compliance and the Country President. Political contributions in the US and Switzerland are under the supervision of the US Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board of Novartis, respectively.
Novartis Political Action Committee
Integral to the US political system is the role of political action committees (PACs). As such, the Novartis PAC, a voluntary, non-partisan organization, was formed to financially support the election of qualified candidates for public office who advocate for issues important to the Novartis mission, demonstrate political leadership or represent a state or district where the company has a facility or a large concentration of employees. Members of the Novartis PAC are part of the company's restricted class who are either U.S. citizens or green card holders and are eligible to contribute. The Novartis PAC only uses funds voluntarily contributed by eligible employees (but not from the company) to make political contributions. The PAC is independent of any political party, candidate or other organization and may contribute to federal, state, and local candidate campaigns, party committees and Leadership PACs at any time during an election cycle. The Novartis PAC is subject to federal contribution limits established by the US Federal Election Commission (e.g., USD 5,000 to each candidate or candidate committee per election). Administration of the Novartis PAC is clearly defined in terms of soliciting contributions, determining candidates to receive financial support, disbursement of funds and reporting.
For more information on our political contributions in the US, read the Novartis in Society US report (PDF 1.4 MB)
Disclosure of political funding and lobbying
Novartis discloses political contributions as required by law. Contributions made through the Novartis PAC (voluntarily contributed by eligible employees, but not from the company) are reported on a monthly basis to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and twice a year to the Clerk of the US House of Representatives and Secretary of the US Senate. Reports disclosing PAC contributions, as well as the sum of federal lobbying-related activities, are available for public access and can be found on the respective websites of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Clerk of the US House of Representatives and the Office of the Secretary of the US Senate. In addition, Novartis is listed in the Register of Interest Representatives, the European Commission's voluntary self-regulation system.
All Novartis associates and third parties retained by Novartis to lobby on behalf of the company must act in accordance with the principles and rules established in the Novartis guideline on responsible lobbying. In addition, any third party that acts or lobbies on behalf of Novartis is subject to our anti-bribery due diligence process before it can be engaged. Appropriate training is provided to all associates engaged in lobbying. The due diligence process for all third parties engaging with political stakeholders has been strengthened.
Overall Novartis political engagement is - like any other Novartis activity - governed globally by the Novartis Code of Ethics (PDF 4.1 MB) and relevant policies such as the Anti-bribery Policy (PDF 0.2 MB) and the Third-Party Guideline. Compliance with all Novartis policies and guidelines is subject to monitoring through the Novartis auditing mechanisms.

Q: Odoo 10 add button to POS I am trying to add a button to the POS screen. A lot of the information I have for this is related to Odoo 8 and this is probably why it is not working. I installed the custom addon without any errors but I don't see the button. I don't get any errors when running the POS either. In version 8 there is a widgets.js file which includes
module.PosWidget.include({
        build_widgets: function(){
      var self = this;
      this._super()

There is no widgets.js in version 10 and I am guessing this is where my problem is. Its just a guess I really dont know how to add a button to the POS.
Here is my pos_custom.js
odoo.pos_custom = function(instance){
    var module = instance.point_of_sale;
    var round_pr = instance.web.round_precision
    var QWeb = instance.web.qweb;

    console.log("POS JS Loaded")
    module.PosWidget.include({
        build_widgets: function(){
      var self = this;
      this._super()

       custom_btn = $(QWeb.render(`custom_btn`))
       custom_btn.click(function(){
            alert("hello")
       })
       console.log("button <<<>>> ",custom_btn,this.$(`.control-button`))
       custom_btn.appendTo(this.$(`.control-button`))

      this.$control_buttons`).removeClass(`oe_hidden`)

            }
})

};

My /src/xml/pos_custom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<templates xml="template" xml:space="preserve">

    <t t-name="custom_btn">
        <button>Cust Button</button>
    </t>

</templates>

my /views/templates.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
        <template id="assets_backend" name="pos_custom assets" inherit_id="web.assets_backend">
            <xpath expr="." position="inside">

                <script type="text/javascript" src="/pos_custom/static/src/js/pos_custom.js"></script>
                </xpath>
            </template>

    </data>
</openerp>

manifest.py
{
    'name': 'Point Custom Module',
    'version': '1.2',
    'category': 'Point of Sale',
    'summary': 'Custom Point of Sale ',
    'description': "",
    'data': [
        "views/templates.xml"

    ],
    'depends': ['point_of_sale'],

    'qweb': ['static/src/xml/*.xml'],
    'application': True,

}

A: For a concrete example on how can this be done, check addons/pos_discount/static/src/js/discount.js. You can see here that a button with the label Discount is added in one of the screens of Odoo POS. Check the whole module since what is basically does is adding a button on the action buttons of the POS (attaching screenshot)

Also check the template on addons/pos_discount/static/src/xml/discount_templates.xml for the layout of the button.

A: To create a buttton in the pos interface you need to create three files.

*

*xml file.

*js file

*xml file for template

*xml file
this file is used to call the js file. Also you need to set the path of this xml file in the manifest like 'data': ['view/pos_update_view.xml']
The code of this xml file is shown below:

            <script type="text/javascript" src="/pos_update/static/src/js/cancel.js"></script>

        </xpath>
    </template>
</data>

You only need to change the path of the js file which is in the src="YOUR JS FILE PATH"

*js file
In normal situation the location of the js file will be in FOLDER_NAME/STATIC/SRC/JS/FILENAME.JS
odoo.define('clear_button_fun.pos_view',function(require){
"use strict";
var screens = require('point_of_sale.screens');
var gui = require('point_of_sale.gui');
var core = require('web.core');
var ClearCartLine = screens.ActionButtonWidget.extend({
    template: "ClearCartLine",
button_click: function(){
var self = this;
this.clear_button_fun();
},

clear_button_fun(){
var order = this.pos.get_order();
order.remove_orderline(order.get_selected_orderline())
},

});
screens.define_action_button({'name': 'clear_button_fun','widget': ClearCartLine,});
});
In the above code ClearCartLine is the template name and it must be same in all places. clear_button_fun()  is the name of the function and you can add your code to tell what to do when clicking on that button.

*xml file.
This xml file is to create a button as a template.  In normal situation the location of this xml file will be in FOLDER_NAME/STATIC/SRC/XML/FILENAME.XML
Also you need to set this template location in the manifest. Like 'qweb': ['static/src/xml/pos_view.xml']
<t t-name="ClearCartLine">
    <div class='control-button'>
        Clear Oder Line
    </div>
</t>

I hope the above description helps you.

A: Maybe you should change your codes
id="assets_backend" into id="assets" &
inherit_id="web.assets_backend" into inherit_id="point_of_sale.assets"
