PampaType: Making a Difference
Born in Córdoba, Argentina, Alejandro Lo Celso started his career as a graphic designer before moving to England in 1999, where he entered the Department of Typography and Graphic communication at the University of Reading. After completing his MA in type design, he crossed the Channel and continued as a postgraduate student at the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique, in Nancy.
"After that, it seemed totally natural to me to set up a foundry," says Lo Celso. "It was the next step to take. Latin America was a region where type design voices wouldn't be heard until the arrival of desktop publishing. High-quality typefaces with a singularly Latin flavor were clearly missing in the global scene, and my feeling was that they would be welcome. It was the right challenge to take on! The landscape of independent foundries was also far less atomized than it is nowadays, the horizon was clearer and one could propose the rules of the game more freely. The name of our foundry, PampaType, clearly reflects that. Even today, colleagues ask me how I managed to position a foundry with such a name! Hopefully when they see our work, they can understand our approach."
PampaType's first release, Rayuela (2001), was a project Lo Celso had developed in Reading and Nancy. It instantly established the foundry's philosophy of looking for fresh, different design concepts outside the realm of type. Rayuela ("hopscotch" in English) refers to the title of a book published in 1963 by Julio Cortázar, an Argentinian author exiled in Europe, perfectly reflecting its malicious and playful structure (no spoilers, read it!). It comprises several Roman and italic weights suited to running text, but also unusual display companions such as an open face (Luz) and a "scrabble-like" face (Miscelanea).
Rayuela was rapidly followed in 2002 by Quimera, a "sanserif avec" exploration in horizontal contrast (before horizontal contrast was trendy) and by Borges, another refined family inspired by the most famous of Argentinian writers as well as an interpretation of the Renaissance typographic pattern. This "literary" series would later expand to include Arlt (2008) and Perec (2010), both more ambitious and versatile type systems replete with unexpected nods and "what if" moments. Lo Celso can be seen as a forerunner in building type ensembles upon "a spirit of diversity," an approach that is now more common.
"One of the key points of our work is the commitment to originality," Lo Celso asserts. "As you know, the industry lacks quite a lot of it nowadays. Tons of 'new' designs are just quick copies of what has already been published through history. It mystifies me why so many graphic designers still choose over-recurrent styles and thus help sustain the unoriginal, the boring, the obvious, even the plagiarized. Most of the best selling fonts are just the same boring sans serifs we've been seeing for decades. We try to work in the opposite direction."
"Originality is more difficult to achieve. It takes much more time and much more work to build a new form that balances singularity and readability, that looks different but is also comfortable to read. But this is how we think and how we approach type design, and we couldn't do it differently. We see it as a challenge. And as a result of this, we think our typefaces appeal not to insecure designers willing to fit in but to the daring who want to make a difference."
In the the foundry's early days, Lo Celso was living in Mexico, teaching at the University of the Americas Puebla and helping to develop the local type design scene as well as expanding his own catalog. In 2010, he returned to Argentina and gradually opened PampaType to new people.
"What was my personal foundry for 15 years has become a collective project, and I am very happy about that. We are a small but strong team. Two very talented type designers from Chile, Francisco Gálvez and Javier Quintana Godoy, have joined the venture, as well as Guido Ferreyra, a skilled and versatile programmer-designer from Córdoba. We continuously exchange our thoughts and designs, which enhances our projects and helps them mature faster. As a group we have also made several decisions towards reaching our own working philosophy and defining our own approach to type design."

Among PampaType's latest releases, Berenjena (2014), designed by Quintana Godoy, is an laidback take on flowing 18th-century English letterforms, whereas Gálvez's Amster (2014), a punchy, sharp-as-sharp-can-be serif typeface, pays tribute to Mauricio Amster Cats, an émigré graphic artist who fled Europe for Chile before the Second World War. Gálvez's following project, Chercán (2016), looks as if it had come from a parallel timeline where Antique Olive had been designed by the recently departed José Mendoza y Almeida instead of by Roger Excoffon.
Chercán
Moreover, it is important for Lo Celso and his colleagues to provide their customers with well-crafted and fully usable fonts. "Globalization is a big word, though one not necessarily put into practice with honesty and justice. As type designers, we face a responsibility to human culture and the transmission of language, so we decided to drop the traditional division between 'standard' and 'pro' and instead make an effort to offer comprehensive character sets that cover around 200 Latin-based languages. Of course, setting the bar that high (about 1,500–2,000 glyphs) demands much more energy and time, which impacts a project's commercial feasibility, but for us, this is a fundamental aspect of our job, and we will remain firm on that. We know people will value it in due time."
With so many changes and tasks to deal with, it's not surprising that it took several years for Lo Celso to design his latest typeface, Atahualpa (2017). Returning to his interest in horizontal contrast, he achieved a unique blend of tempered and dynamic features shaped into a pulsating slab-serif, an outstanding distillation that reflects PampaType's commitment to serving a broad spectrum of customers.

"Surrounding our small team, there is a growing community of colleagues, friends, designers, typographers and type enthusiasts who also make their own contributions from different places and points of view," says Lo Celso. "They like what we do and they want to participate in it. Our blog 'Scriptorium,' for instance, is gradually expanding with their articles and ideas. We think that working within a community is much more stimulating and enriching than keeping your ideas to yourself. In order to keep the fire burning, we set up periodical meetings which function as working sessions, relaxed professional presentations, and social gatherings. We share a lot about type and projects, but also about books, printing, art, history, food and wine."

"I think our new website does a pretty good job of showing what we do, what our values are and how we approach our profession, and so far people have reacted very positively. Joining Fontstand last year was also a significant step for us. The next move is to become more widely known. We're working on that."

Sir Edward Leighton (c. 1525 – 10 September 1593) was an English politician, and a leading political figure in Shropshire in the late sixteenth century.

He was the eldest son of John Leighton of Wattlesborough Castle, Shropshire, and Joyce, daughter of Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley and Cecily Willoughby. Sir Thomas Leighton, Governor of Guernsey, was his younger brother. The Leightons were among the richest and most influential landowners in Shropshire. He was admitted in 1541 to Gray's Inn to study law. He succeeded to his father's estates in 1532. His mother remarried before 1538 Richard Lee, MP for Much Wenlock, who was his stepson's guardian.

He was appointed High Sheriff of Montgomeryshire for 1549 and 1591 and High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1567 and 1587. He was elected a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Shropshire in October 1553 and 1563. He became custos rotulorum  of Shropshire in 1587. He was knighted in 1591. He was the dominant political figure in Shropshire in the 1580s, and showed great diligence in overseeing the trained bands. By 1590 however, he was described as being "old and feeble". He died three years later: "a man of much fame and countenance throughout the shire".

He married twice: firstly Elizabeth (née Edwards), the widow of a Mr. Meverell, and secondly Anne, the daughter of Paul Darrell of Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, with whom he had 4 sons and 3 daughters, including Thomas Leighton (died 1600), his eldest son and heir. They were the ancestors of the Leighton Baronets of Wattlesborough.

Young adults may find this debut novel intriguing. Main character Avery West continually moves from place to place with her mother. Avery wants to lay down roots, date, and make lifelong friends. It bothers her that she hasn't been able to do so, especially when she meets Jack. But when her mother once again tells Avery they have to move, she rebels by attending a dance with Jack. Soon Avery's world is spun out of control, and she is whisked away into Jack's secret world and finds that she's part of it. She learns that she's connected to a powerful European family who are part of a secret society called the Circle and soon after discovers she's the key to stopping WWIII. Readers may not be so keen about Avery's naivety and also might question some of the elements used in the novel to portray the family, such as their control of the world and every war that's ever happened. But fans of books like The Da Vinci Code will enjoy the puzzles, trails of clues, and locations.

Bob Lomenick: Revisited
Caitlin Sattler - January 26, 2018 - 0 comments
The new year is an opportunity to make a change. For Bob Lomenick, 2018 is the year to add locations, including a store he acquired from a retiring colleague. A conversion may seem simpler than starting a new pharmacy, but when he officially took over operations at G&M of Oxford on January 1, 2018, Bob realized he had his work cut out for him.
G&M is a forty-minute drive from Bob's flagship store, Tyson Drug, and he describes the new acquisition as "your typical store." The former owner refused to sell and retire because he was worried no one could take care of his patients the way they needed to be cared for. After one conversation, the owner trusted Bob with the task of caring for his patients and was willing to sell the business to Bob. Although the store has a strong foundation rooted in care, its technology didn't reflect its mission. Bob lists an outdated computer system, only two workstations that fill over 500 prescriptions per day, no point of sale, and no automation, which meant all fills were counted with a counting tray. He has taken a more hands-on approach to G&M, including going through messages on the pharmacy's answering machine for hours at a time to write down refill numbers. (He is gradually working towards a full IVR system as the G&M staff becomes more comfortable with the changes.) "This is a personal challenge for me because so many people are telling me I can't transform this store, but I know I can!" he says. "Even my store was like that at one point."
Now that Bob has introduced a new pharmacy software system to the store, his focus has turned to reconstructing the workflow. Filling 500 scripts a day in a small space is a hindrance, so Bob decided to move the intake station to the other side of the store. "Ninety-five percent of the store's activity was happening in twenty percent of the store," Bob explains. As eager as he is to bring G&M up to speed with his other stores, he knows the journey will be a gradual one. "There are so many wheels in motion, but we have to take baby steps. There is so much opportunity in this place."
As he works on bringing out G&M's full potential, Bob has also undertaken the task of opening a new store with his friend and colleague, Chris Cornelison. The two already talk daily and have different strengths, so they seized the opportunity to own a store together. After experiencing both a conversion and a new store, Bob believes new stores have a much smoother process. "Working with a store from the beginning and starting immediately with sync and organization is much easier as opposed to taking on a store with no processes in place, which is more challenging," he explains. No matter what hurdle this new store presents, Bob knows he and Chris can work with each other on innovative solutions.
As he works on these two additional locations, Bob also volunteers his time as a representative for CPESN℠ and a preceptor for the University of Mississippi. "My ultimate goal is to help other people be successful," he says, and he carries out that goal by encouraging pharmacists to pursue enhanced services and showing students how their clinical knowledge can impact the independent, retail setting.

FMCSA's Joe DeLorenzo details drivers' personal conveyance options with ELDs
For drivers intending to use the hours of service's personal conveyance provision under the electronic logging device mandate, particularly in light of the U.S. DOT's late-May decision to provide some flexibility to use personal conveyance mode to find safe parking, two key elements must apply, says Joe DeLorenzo, head of enforcement for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
One, the driver must be off duty and, two, the movement of the vehicle must be for personal purposes only, said DeLorenzo in a webinar held Tuesday by ELD supplier EROAD. There's confusion "about whether it's another line or whatever" on drivers' logs, he said, "but in this case it's important to know a driver has to be off duty, and that's where the whole determination as to whether it's legitimate personal conveyance starts. Because we're focusing on the intent of the movement, whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded doesn't particularly matter."
The agency in late May announced it would allow drivers to enter into personal conveyance status to find the nearest safe location to park or rest should their hours be exhausted by detention at a shipper or receiver. Personal conveyance status has been in place since 1998, said DeLorenzo, "but it has come more to light with the implementation of ELDs. We realized we needed to do some additional guidance," he said Tuesday. The agency also said it would allow drivers to use personal conveyance status if they need to move at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
He provided a few examples of proper use of personal conveyance, and examples of improper use.
Drivers commuting to and from work can use personal conveyance status, he said, which do not count against a drivers' 14-hour on-duty time their 11-hour drive time. However, a driver under dispatch leaving home en route to a load is considered on duty, he says, and therefore cannot use personal conveyance. "If you stop at the yard the night before and picked up the load and brought it home and you travel to your point of destination from there" — that's all on-duty time, DeLorenzo said. "Operating at the direction of a motor carrier is not considered to be off duty."
A driver who is forced away from a shipper but is over hours can use personal conveyance status "purely to go to a safe location to get rest," he said. "It doesn't matter what direction, it may be proceeding in the same direction as the load. That's OK as long as it is the nearest safe location where you can get rest after those hours expire. That is a new piece to this guidance that will be helpful to a lot of folks trying to address situations that come up at the last minute."
Drivers using personal conveyance status in these scenarios will need to annotate their logs to note the reason for the move to make clear to enforcers that it was personal conveyance to find a place to park and rest.
"On the flip side," DeLorenzo noted, "any movement to enhance operational readiness" should be recorded as on-duty time. "Is the purpose [of the move] to get the load closer to where it needs to be? You can't bypass rest areas to keep going and get further along," he said. "If your 11 hours expire and you're going to a rest area continuing in your direction, you can't use it to extend your day. That's not considered personal conveyance."
Likewise, driving bobtail or with an empty trailer to retrieve a load is on-duty driving time, as is heading back to a terminal or yard after dropping a load. Trips for maintenance or for fueling are also on-duty.
To annotate personal conveyance use, drivers can either select the personal conveyance mode on their ELD (devices are required to have a personal use function) or simply log out and then annotate the beginning and end of their personal conveyance time.
Personal conveyance status does not exempt carriers or drivers from other regulations, said DeLorenzo. Drivers are still required to take their 10-hour break (from which personal conveyance draws) and are still required to adhere to all equipment standards.

3 Questions to Ian Richards
By Prisca Chaoui*
Former President of CCISUA and Economist at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
You have been in the staff representation since 2009 and have occupied many functions such as Executive Secretary of the Staff Coordinating Council, the Vice President of the Staff-Management Committee and the President of Coordinating Committee of International Staff Unions and Associations. Could you let us know what was the most challenging situation you faced in defending staff rights?
It has been a great privilege to serve staff in Geneva and around the world, and to work with some many hard-working and dedicated staff representatives from whom I have learned a lot, but also some honest and decent people on the management side.
The most recent challenge of course was ICSC-recommended pay cut, which we showed was based on incorrect calculations and data and appeared to have been done with some clear pre-meditation. When we communicated this to staff, there was rightful outrage about the statistical manipulation. The issue is still ongoing of course, and we obtained some reductions in the cut, and the post adjustment methodology had been given a mich-needed revision (so we have won some) but what really struck me was the extent to which staff were ready to work together to fight this change.
During Ban Ki-moon's time I witnessed management walk out of negotiations in Mexico City, on the pretext they couldn't agree with us on the agenda. Staff were clearly upset as this came at a time when UN personnel in the field were coming under attack from terrorist groups and we could no longer negotiate on their safety. By highlighting this to member states but also by getting a better understanding of what management itself was looking for, during three days of emergency talks in Geneva, they finally came back to the table.
Recently we have seen attempts to move administrative posts to low-cost locations in a scheme called the Global Service Delivery Model. Fifteen years ago, such a move may have made sense. But IT has changed the nature of administrative work. With fewer administrative staff doing more analytical work, we shared a business model with the General Assembly that showed that the savings from moving to a cheap location and using untrained staff would be less than the investment costs. Since then, enthusiasm has waned.
A big challenge recently has been improving how our pension fund is governed. I ran for the pension board because I saw retirees not being paid for months and a board of effectively 93 members doing little to hold the fund's leadership to account. Working with fellow UN participant representatives we obtained a complete change in leadership, better client support and General Assembly support to completely reform how the Board works so that it's smaller and more aware of its responsibilities.
The UN is celebrating its 75th anniversary amidst a lot of challenges. How in your view will the UN and its working conditions change?
I think member states continue to believe in the UN and in cooperation. If anything this pandemic has demonstrated how problems such as viruses and their economic impact don't stop at borders. Even the richest and most powerful countries are struggling.
That doesn't of course mean that they support the UN as it currently is. If you look at where the funding is going, and there has been a lot of it recently, it has been at the country level through the new resident coordinator system. I think we should expect the UN to move in that direction as it follows the money.
Organizations in Geneva will need to be a lot more plugged into what is happening at the country level if they are to remain relevant and continue funding their activities here. Geneva can no longer use a business model that relies on massive on-site global conferences with thousands of participants, like the Human Rights Council. Covid has helped technology upend that. With regards to working conditions, we will probably see a whole host of measures to encourage staff to move to the field.
What have you learned from all this?
You don't get what you want if you don't fight for it. And we have had some successes.
But not just us. Look at the Fair Internship Initiative to get stipends for interns. We gave them support at the start at a time many said they would not succeed. But one by one, they have convinced organizations to pay interns and promote diversity in what is a first rung for many. Hopefully the UN Secretariat will follow.
The point is that future staff representatives shouldn't give up, even when things look bleak. My time has been bookended by the financial crisis and the pandemic. It was never easy. And there is more to do. For example, pushing back against greater contract precarity, helping colleagues more on temporary contracts, improving conditions in the field, fighting harassment, addressing racial discrimination.
There is so much. Don't give up!

Why Sally Rooney's boycott matters so much to Israel
Rooney's refusal to let an Israeli publisher translate her new book provoked furore—revealing Israel's fear over Palestine solidarity, says Nick Clark
Sally Rooney's new novel Beautiful World, Where Are You
For a state that claims to have put this year's mass Palestinian revolt behind it, Israel's distress over something so seemingly small as a novel is revealing.
Its foreign ministry even went so far as to accuse bestselling author Sally Rooney of blocking "peace" in the Middle East.
Rooney's refusal to allow her latest novel to be translated into Hebrew and sold by an Israeli publishing company provoked a worldwide backlash.
Her decision was in solidarity with Palestinians. But, inevitably, supporters of Israel hit back at her with claims of antisemitism.
They said boycotting Israel was akin to targetting Jewish people.
It was about as unsubtle an attempt to conflate opposition to Israel with antisemitism as you can get.
Almost as unsubtle as the furore against Ben and Jerry's for refusing to sell Ice Cream in West Bank settlements.
It's clearly nonsense. Despite the Israeli state's best efforts to say otherwise, Israel is not synonymous with Jewish identity.
But Rooney was pushed to make a statement of clarification. She was not boycotting the Hebrew language, she said—only the Israeli publishing company, Modan.
She said that, in line with the Palestinian-led Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, "I simply do not feel it would be right for me under the present circumstances to accept a new contract with an Israeli company that does not publicly distance itself from apartheid and support the UN-stipulated rights of the Palestinian people.
"The Hebrew-language translation rights to my new novel are still available, and if I can find a way to sell these rights that is compliant with the BDS movement's institutional boycott guidelines, I will be very pleased and proud to do so." In truth, it would be perfectly legitimate if Rooney had decided not to sell her novel in Israel at all—just as some musicians and artists refuse to perform there.
The Israeli state uses culture to present a progressive face to the rest of the world.
It even has a "brand Israel" programme, which it has poured millions of pounds into, explicitly to replace stories of its occupation of Palestine.
This involves promoting its own films, musicians and artists, as well as encouraging artists and singers to bring their performances, art and novels to Israel.
It's not a coincidence that Rooney's boycott came after the Palestinian revolt earlier this year
When it works, its success is celebrated as international acceptance of Israel as a "normal" state, rather than one sustained by racism and military occupation.
Often, this comes with undertones inviting comparisons between "liberal" Israel and the "backwards" Palestinians.
But when artists refuse to go along with this, they puncture the myth. Instead of covering up Israel's crimes, they draw attention to them.
When Rooney explained her boycott, she pointed to two landmark reports from Human Rights Watch and B'Tselem accusing Israel of crimes of apartheid.
These, she said, "Confirmed what Palestinian human rights groups have long been saying.
"Israel's system of racial domination and segregation against Palestinians meets the definition of apartheid under international law."
This is exactly the sort of attention that Israel's politicians hate. It's why the Israeli state puts so much effort into countering BDS across the world—it even has its own dedicated anti-BDS ministry.
It's not that Israel is worried about the economic impact of a boycott.
The real "existential threat" is that BDS reflects growing awareness of Israel's racist system—and encourages solidarity with Palestinian resistance.
It's not a coincidence that Rooney's boycott—or for that matter, Ben and Jerry's—came after the Palestinian revolt earlier this year.
That revolt forced Israel's embedded racism into the spotlight, but also showed the world that Palestinians can resist.
It was the greatest crisis Israel has faced in years.
So it might seem odd that, after all that, Israel's supporters are so wound up about Rooney's boycott. But they've got good reason to be.
It's a sign that, in spite of everything, solidarity with Palestine is gaining ground.

A feature is a set of one or more related plug-ins and/or fragments that can be installed and upgraded together. Every feature must have at least three (usually at least four) legal files:
The first required file is "license.html". This file is required to be the SUA in HTML format (and thus an exact duplicate of the "notice.html" in the root of the distribution). This file is referred to as The Feature License.
The second required file is the Eclipse Public Licensein HTML format in a file named "epl-v10.html" (and thus also an exact duplicate of the "epl-v10.html" in the root of the distribution).
Each feature has a file named "feature.xml" with a license node. Often the strings in the "feature.xml" file are externalized in a "feature.properties" file. Either way, the license node or property must contain the SUA in PLAIN TEXT format. This text (node or property) is referred to as The Feature Update License.
Each feature has at least one plug-in associated with it which is the "feature plug-in" for that feature. Not surprisingly, this plug-in usually has the same name as the feature. The "about.properties" property named "blurb" contains text that appears in the "About features" dialog in the Eclipse workbench. This is known as a "Feature Blurb." Blurbs often contain copyright notices and any other statements of attribution that may be required by licenses.
feature com.sleepycat.dbxml.feature
The file beginning feature.properties look here.
The "feature plug-in" for that feature bundle com.sleepycat.dbxml has a file about.properties.
All plug-in directories must have an "about.html" file describing the license terms of the code and content of the plug-in. The "about.html" file may also contain other information such as whether the content contains cryptographic functionality that may be subject to export controls. These "about.html" are collective known as "Abouts."
Most plug-ins of Eclipse Projects are pure EPL and thus the about.html file will be default About for EPL plug-ins. If a plug-in contains non-EPL content About files must be About files for third-party content.
In JAR'ed plug-ins, any local files linked from an About such as copies of licenses, must be located in a directory called "about_files". The contents of the "about_files" directory are handled specially so that links resolve correctly when the About in a JAR'ed plug-in is viewed in an external browser spawned from the About dialog.
Plug-in (pure EPL) org.eclipse.eilf.binstorage has the default about.html:
Plug-in with non-EPL content (3rd Party) org.apache.tomcat has the about.html in form About files for third-party content and about_files:
Every source file has a Copyright and License Notice
Every feature has the standard SUA in HTML in "license.html"
Every feature has the Project's primary license(s) (e.g., the EPL in "epl-v10.html")
Every feature has the standard SUA in plain text in "feature.xml <license>" or "feature.properties / license"
Every feature plug-in has copyright notices, etc. in the "blurb" property of "about.properties"
Every plug-in has an "about.html", usually the standard one.
Every plug-in with a non-standard "about.html" contains the additional referenced license files.
Every JAR'ed plug-in stores linked files in "about_files"
Every help documentation set contains a Legal page
Every build distribution has the standard SUA in the root as "notice.html"
Every build distribution has a copy of the primary license(s) in the root, e.g., "epl-v10.html"

Features Licenses and Feature Update Licenses
A feature is a set of one or more related plug-ins and/or fragments that can be installed and upgraded together. There are three important legal documentation files for features, the Feature License (license.html), the Feature Update License (feature.properties > license) and the Feature Blurb (about.properties > blurb).
The Feature License
Each feature has a file named "license.html." We call this a "Feature License." In Eclipse.org builds, this file is an exact copy of the file "notice.html" that is found in the root directory of the distribution. In other words, it is the SUA.
The Feature Update License
Each feature has a file named "feature.properties." In that file is a property named "license". This is known as the "Feature Update License." For Eclipse.org builds, the Feature Update License is an exact copy of the SUA in PLAIN TEXT format. Feature Update Licenses must be delivered in that format whereas all the other files we've covered so far have been HTML files.
The Feature Blurb
Each feature has at least one plug-in associated with it which is the "feature plug-in" for that feature. Not surprisingly, this plug-in usually has the same name as the feature. The property named "blurb" contains text that appears in the "About features" dialog in the Eclipse workbench. This is known as a "Feature Blurb." Blurbs often contain copyright notices and any other statements of attribution that may be required by licenses.
What's the difference?
The difference between the Feature License and Feature Update License is when they are shown to the user. The Feature License is only available once a feature has been installed. The Feature Update License is seen when a user is using the Eclipse Update Manager to install or upgrade a feature and must agree to an agreement before proceeding with the installation. One thing that is important to note is that with the distributed licensing model used by plug-ins, unless a Feature Update License contains an aggregation of all the notices from the plug-ins for a feature, a user will not be able to see these notices before installing the feature. It is for this reason that the maintainer of a feature may choose to have different text for the Feature License and Feature Update License.
Note: All features must contain a Feature License and a Feature Update License in the directory for that feature. The feature's plug-in must contain a Feature Blurb.
The Location:
The Feature License is found in the feature directory which is usually a sub-directory of the directory named "features." Any referenced files (for example, the EPL or the SUA) are located in the same location.
The Feature Update License is found in the feature directory which is usually a sub-directory of the directory named "features." Any referenced files (for example, the EPL or the SUA) are located in the same location.
The Feature Blurb resides in the "plugins" directory as either a sub-directory or a JAR. In the feature plug-in there is a file named "about.properties.", the Feature Blurb is the property named "blurb". To view the blurb for each installed feature, go to the menu item Help > About Eclipse Platform and then click "Feature Details" and then select a feature. The blurb will appear in the bottom half of the dialog.
SUA – Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement
The Software User Agreement is the agreement that governs the use of all software distributed by the Eclipse Foundation. The SUA references the Eclipse Public License as the primary vehicle to grant license rights and obligations to use the software. In addition, it also references other legal notices and agreements and describes the potential layout of the legal documentation in the accompanying Content. The reason for the SUA is that Eclipse-based content is highly modularized to facilitate ease of delivery, extensibility, and upgradeability. A typical Eclipse installation may potentially include plug-ins and features authored and/or distributed by many different parties including the Eclipse Foundation, other open-source organizations, and commercial vendors.
This modularity makes an Eclipse distribution somewhat different from a classical software product delivered with a single license file. The Eclipse Foundation SUA guides the consumer to the various licenses distributed through out the Eclipse Project distribution.
EPL – Eclipse Public License Version 1.0
The EPL was written specifically for the Eclipse Foundation. First, it changes the Agreement Steward, formerly IBM for the CPL, to now be the Eclipse Foundation for the EPL. Second, it addresses concerns some Eclipse Foundation members had with how the CPL deals with possible patent litigation. FAQ

Now that you're engaged you're probably searching for ways to ask your bridesmaids. You need a team to help you plan your big day and your girls are just the beginning.
Don't forget to include a proposal card that asks your girls to be a part of the wedding party! All you have to do is print the card on card stock paper! You can also cute them out and glue them to a glitter or metallic paper to add dimension or decor.
Tell me in the comments below what you included in your bridesmaid proposal!


Remember that Aqua song; Back to the Eighties? No? Shame. It was a real classic. However, not to worry. The Neon Staxx slot machine is going to take you back to the 80s instead. Thankfully, it is going to do it in a far classier way!
The Neon Staxx slot machine was released by NetEnt in June 2015. It is a 5 reel, 40 payline slot machine. The minimum bet is 20p. The maximum bet is £100. This is a medium volatility slot machine. The house edge is 3.01%, which is a little lower than the edge NetEnt normally puts in their machines.
The design of Neon Staxx is 'gnarly' (that is the only 80s word we will throw in, we promise). Normally when you get a slot machine with a retro vibe, it looks like a game that could be found on the Amiga. Basically, it looks terrible. Not this one.
The design of this game is so slick. It is like, somebody has taken the 80s and made it relevant to modern design standards. It is tough to describe, so we really suggest that you look at a few screenshots of the game, or even check out the video that we have on this page. This should give you an idea of just how gorgeous this game looks.
On a feature level, there is a lot going on in the Neon Staxx slot. However, there is not so much that you are going to be overwhelmed with the features. Honestly, this is the hallmark of a good game.
A game which does not go overboard with everything. There are free spins and there are wilds, with a few changes here and there. Enough to keep things interesting, but not so much that you will be reaching for another slot machine to play.
Neon Staxx Wilds: The Wild Symbol is the symbol that will crop up the most in the Neon Staxx slot machine. It, as with all other slot machines, will be used as a replacement for every other symbol in the game.
Super Staxx Feature: The Super Staxx feature is great. In this game, every symbol has the ability to be stacked. Well, not the scatter, but every other symbol. This means that you may enjoy some wins if one of these appears.
Neon Staxx Scatters: If you get at least three scatters, you will enter the free spins mode. The number of free spins you get will be dictated by the number of scatters you have. 3 scatters will give 10 free spins. 4 will give 15 free spins. 5 scatters will give 20 free spins. At the start of this game mode, the game will choose a high-paying symbol to be stacked. This could lead to big wins!
One of the things you should look for when deciding whether to play a slot that you haven't tried before is the games Rtp % and variance bracket. Believe us when we say that there's a big difference between slots and depending on your playing levels, could make or break your bank roll. Neon Staxx is one of those slots which should come with a little saying "medium to high variance" because that's exactly what this slot is. Neon Staxx also has an Rtp (return to player ration) of 96.9%. This all besically means that when the wins come in - they come in BIG; but bear in mind that they might take a while to come in - so you better be prepared!
As you may have imaged, the Neon Staxx slot shrinks down well to become a great looking mobile slot. We can't help but feel that the game is given a nice boost here because the graphics are simplistic. If you boot this up on your smartphone or tablet, then you can be in awe at just how great the graphics look.
The gameplay is smooth too. Anybody who regularly reads the reviews that we put here on All Gambling Sites, you may notice that we not always the biggest fans of mobile slot machines. We prefer to sit in a nice comfortable chair. However, this is a game that we would love to play in bed. In fact, we do. We do it regularly.
Neon Staxx is a great slot machine. We love the theme. We love the gameplay. We love the features. Our big concern is that you never really get the big wins.
Granted, the small wins do come in nice and quickly, but you will eventually long for the larger wins. However, we do feel that this game is going to be a good introduction to the world of slots. So, if you are a new slot machine player, check it out. Experienced players may also want to give this one a spin if they fancy playing something on a lower budget, but still wants the wins to stack up, just not too high!
You can play the Neon Staxx slot machine on any website which offers NetEnt games. If you want a few suggestions on some quality websites to check out, then do not be afraid to check out the list of the best new online casinos that team here at All Gambling Sites have put together. We are sure you will find a good few casinos to check out!


The U.S. formally delivered two new Cessna 208B (C-208B) Grand Caravan Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft to the Philippine Air Force (PAF) during a handover ceremony on Thursday, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) said in a statement.
The delivery of the aircraft is part of a $33 million package through the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act Building Partnership Capacity Program, to provide equipment and training to improve Philippine counterterrorism response capability.
USPACOM Deputy Commander, Lt. Gen. Bryan Fenton joined U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Y. Kim at the ceremony. "The U.S.-Philippine alliance is one of our most enduring, and the bilateral relationship has been a cornerstone of stability in the region for decades. This C208 event is just one example of our partnership and shared commitment to stopping the spread of violent extremism in the region," said Fenton.
Over the past decade the U.S. has provided more than $179 million in counterterrorism equipment and training, including small arms, ammunition, communication tools, and surveillance equipment. The U.S. has also provided reconnaissance aircraft and pilot training, uniforms and body armor, combat rubber raiding crafts, night vision devices, rockets, and unmanned aerial systems.
Arrival of the C-208B ISR aircraft provides the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) with technologically advanced ISR capability in support of counterterrorism operations. The ISR capability includes line-of-sight live data and air-to-ground info streaming.
Delivery of the aircraft comes amidst ongoing conflicts in Marawi between the AFP and local militant extremist groups.
Since the beginning of the conflict in late May 2017, U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) have been assisting the AFP with ongoing operations in Marawi mainly by providing information and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assistance to AFP commanders in their fight against Maute and Abu Sayyaf Group militants.
U.S. SOF have been providing support to the southern Philippines at the request of several Filipino administrations for many years.
Since 2002, the U.S. and Philippines have also maintained a Mutual Logistics Support Agreement which, during the recent conflicts in Marawi, has allowed the AFP to swiftly request and acquire material from the U.S.
In addition to equipment and training, the U.S. has also provided support for improving the infrastructure at Philippine military installations. Over the last 10 years, USPACOM has invested $14.6 million in construction projects, with 48 projects completed or underway. All projects support bilateral training objectives and capability development.
The C-280B aircraft flew to Edwin Andrews AB (EAAB) in Zamboanga, Philippines after the ceremony and in-country flight training for the aircraft is slated to begin on August 1.
In coordination with allies and partners such as the Philippines, USPACOM is committed to enhancing stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region by promoting security cooperation, encouraging peaceful development, responding to contingencies, and deterring aggression.

Tribute To Andy Williams
More than sixty years have passed since Peggy Lee sang with Benny
Goodman's swing band and made her first hit recording. Yet so totally
inexhaustible was her talent and so intense her application to her work that,
almost a generation later, she is still considered one of the best female singers of all time, a true jazz legend. A product of the big-band era, she derived from that apprenticeship her ability to sing not only jazz and blues, but any kind of music and to sing it with a beat, and with enough volume to
be heard above the band. Only a few former big band vocalists have had her staying power---Doris Day, Kay Starr, Jo Stafford to name a few.
Peggy Lee is also a successful composer, lyricist, arranger, and a shrewd businesswoman. To all her careers she brought a perfectionism that leaves the stamp of professionalism on everything she touched. Much of her success Miss Lee credited to her apprenticeship with the big bands. "I learned more about music from the men I worked with in bands than I've learned anywhere else," she said. "They taught me discipline and the value of rehearsing and even how to train…. Band singing taught us the importance of interplay with musicians. And we had to work close to the arrangement." In July, 1942, Peggy Lee recorded her first smash hit, "Why Don't You Do Right?" It sold over 1,000,000 copies and made her famous.
In March, 1943, Peggy married Dave Barbour, the guitarist in Goodman's band; shortly thereafter she left the band. After her daughter, Nicki, was born in 1944, Peggy and her husband worked successfully on the West Coast. In 1944 she began to record for Capitol Records, for whom she has produced a long string of hits – many of them with lyrics and music by Miss Lee and Dave Barbour. Among them are "Golden Earrings," which sold over 1,000,000 copies ;"You Was Right, Baby;" "It's a Good Day;" Mañana" (which sold over 2,000,000 records); "What More Can a Woman Do?;" and "I Don't Know Enough About You." Today Peggy Lee also has a top rating as a songwriter with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
In 1950 Peggy Lee made a, brief screen appearance in Paramount's "Mr. Music," starring Bing Crosby. In 1953 she played a featured role opposite Danny Thomas in Warner Brothers' remake of the early Al Jolson talking picture, "The Jazz Singer," and won praise from a critic of the "New York World-Telegram and Sun" for "a very promising start on a movie career" as "a poised and ingratiating ingenue." Her performance as a despondent and alcoholic blues singer in "Pete Kelly's Blues" (Warner Brothers, 1955) won her a nomination from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In the 1955 balloting conducted by the Council of Motion Picture Organizations, moviegoers voted her the "Audie" statuette.
Peggy has not only appeared in motion pictures. But she has also written music and lyrics for them. She wrote the theme music for "Johnny Guitar" (Republic, 1954) and for "About Mrs. Leslie" (Paramount, 1954). She contributed the musical score to two George Pal cartoon features, "Tom Thumb" (MGM, 1958) and "The Time Machine" (MGM, 1960), and wrote the lyrics and supplied several voices for the Walt Disney full-length animated cartoon "Lady and the Tramp" (Buena Vista, 1955). For "Anatomy of a Murder" (Columbia, 1959) she wrote the lyrics for "I'm Gonna Go Fishin'" to music by Duke Ellington.
In the respect she commands from the critics both as a popular vocalist and as a jazz artist, Peggy Lee is a rarity among singers. Critic George Hoefer of "Downbeat" magazine has called her "the greatest white female jazz singer since Mildred Bailey," and Leonard Feather in "The Encyclopedia of jazz" (Horizon, 1960) has described her as "one of the most sensitive and jazz-oriented singers in the pop field." Miss Lee won the 1946 polls as best female vocalist of both "Metronome" and "Downbeat" magazines, wisely read by jazz buffs, and the 1950 citation as "the nation's most popular female vocalist" from "Billboard," a trade magazine of show business. A frequent performer on television, she sang on the Thursday night "Revlon Revues" over CBS-TV in 1960, and appeared on televised musical variety shows starring Perry Como, George Gobel, Steve Allen and Bing Crosby.
In September, 1962 Miss Lee reached what she has called the "high spot" in her career when she was selected to appear in Philharmonic Hall of New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, an auditorium usually available to those whom the management considers as serious artists. Miss Lee conducted research for, and wrote a program called "The Jazz Tree," tracing the origins and development of jazz as a native American art form. Originally scheduled for December, 1962, the booking was postponed until March, 1963 to give Miss Lee enough time to perfect her presentation. This perfectionist approach to her programs is typical of Miss Lee. She polishes and perfects every aspect of her performances – her special coiffures, her costly wardrobe, her lighting, her entrances and exits, and her musical arrangements. Her perfectionism may derive from her association with Benny Goodman, who always demanded the best from his performers. Rejecting the improvisatory approach of most jazz singers, Peggy planned every detail of her delivery in advance, including the movement of her hands.
However, it was Lee's singular singing that ensured her legendary status. Her rhythmic croonings of tunes like "Lover," "Fever," and "Is That All There Is?"—which won her two Grammys in 1969—made such songs instantly identifiable with her. By the mid-1980s she had recorded 59 albums and 631 songs. She always endeavored to remain musically current, performing the songs of contemporary composers or collaborating with them. But even in those contemporary pieces she looked for the "haunting melodies and engaging word-pictures" that she was "trained to appreciate," according to Eliot Tiegel in Down Beat; these are qualities that, in Lee's words, make an audience "walk away humming."
In the early 1990s she retained famed entertainment attorney Neil Papiano to sue Disney for royalties on Lady and the Tramp. Lee's lawsuit claimed that she was due royalties for video tapes, a technology that did not exist when she agreed to write and perform for Disney. Her lawsuit was successful. Never afraid to fight for what she believed in, Lee passionately insisted that musicians be equitably compensated for their work. Although she realized litigation had taken a toll on her health, Lee often quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson on the topic: "God will not have his work be made manifest by cowards." Lee continued to perform into the 1990s, sometimes in a wheelchair. After years of poor health, she died of complications from diabetes and a heart attack at age 81.
Lee was nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, winning Best Contemporary Vocal Performance for her 1969 hit "Is That All There Is?" In 1995 she was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Peggy Lee was known as "Miss Peggy Lee" or "Miss Peggy," and was the inspiration for the Muppets' "Miss Piggy," a stylish self-assured blonde with a sense of romance.
From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, to the end of her career, she forged a sophisticated persona, evolving into a multi-faceted artist and performer and became a singing legend in her own time.
As is the case with most legendary singers, one or two songs become associated with them. Such is the case with Peggy Lee, and it is for two songs that she won her Grammys:
Selecting one song to identify Peggy Lee is not a simple task. Others have done that job and pretty successfully. But your sampod webmaster, although loving the two selections above, would be remiss if not mentioning the one song that really says it all:

Crocs, let your feet breathe.
So could you use a modified BAD lever in place of the trigger? Asking for a friend.
Here is a decent video series that covers lapping, sleeve compound etc. It is a 4 part series of brief videos that go over the aspects of building an upper. I am sure there some things that someone can find fault with, but I found them helpful when I decided to to put together a more accurate upper.
the Athon 1-6 above is not a bad choice especially at the price linked. Put one a a back up gun and it is heads and shoulders above the the strike eagle I have in brightness and clarity (not saying much) Have only used it about 3 times but it has been solid so far.
Used the egw mount on a glock to try out a red dot. Worked fine. Used it for a few months to see if that was the route I wanted to go. As mentioned above it is not optimal but it is a great way to try out a rds without making permanent mods to your pistol. The dot will be pretty high compared to a milled slide but it worked fine for me.
Black hawk omnivore is easy way to play around with a light. Push button retention holds well but can slow you down if you do not practice a little. Have considered adding a piece of stainless wire to lock out the retention. It is a well made holster that does the job and is compatible with lots of pistols and optics.
" tighter than stock fit and thought that if the slide were to wear to the barrel that could cause problems down the road if I swapped back. not wanting to wear the slide to the cheap barrel if that is possible." Could turn out to be a great barrel and hope it works well for you. My only concern was if the slide would wear to the tighter barrel take15 will get you 15% off if anyone else decides to try them out.
"My question is why buy it if you were iffy about them??" Lot of positive reviews made me feel okay about purchasing it. Bought it to try a comp and figured give it a try and If it didn't like a comp, I wasn't out much. Really had no concerns until I noticed the tighter than stock fit and though that if the slide were to wear to the barrel that could cause problems down the road if I swapped back. Also do not expect a $50 barrel to last as long as a factory or KKM etc so hence the reason for not wanting to wear the slide to the cheap barrel if that is possible. Everything about the barrel looks okay. Rounds fit okay, gun goes into battery. Rifling looks shallow and the finish could be better but it is what I would expect at the price point. Will post up results compared to stock when I get a chance to shoot it.
"Shoot it. It will be fine" Thanks "What Brand Barrel?" This amazing $51 delivered masterpiece. http://www.combatarmory.com/combat-armory-barrel-fits-glock-19-stainless-new-9mm-match-grade-barrel-threaded/ Not something I want to make a long term commitment to or alter my slide by using.
Picked up a cheap threaded barrel to play with on a 19. It fits tighter than the factory barrel. Have never swapped a barrel before and am concerned that the slide may wear to the cheap tighter fitting barrel making the factory barrel fit even looser. It is an MOS slide so I do not want to screw it up. Something to worry about or just shoot it?
Thanks.Need to try it out.
Where near Montgomery is running this?
https://suparms.com/collections/adjustable-gas-blocks-direct-impingement set screw is smaller diameter, I prefer clamp. Specs are on the website. JP has a nice low profile .750 block that should fit https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPGS-9D Rifle above is pretty much the setup you are building. Barrel is not the match series. It is light out front and points fast.
Have a 16" gunner with the superlative block. Tried different ammo, bolts, deep cleaned, different scope, broke apart and reassembled, brake no brake etc but could never get consistent moa groups out of it. Seems like it shifts when it warms. Contacted faxon, not much response. I love the weight and use it for bays now but do not trust it for much else. Built an upper using an 18" criterion hybrid barrel and have been impressed with it's accuracy. It is sub moa with pretty basic ammo. I enjoy shooting the faxon and know some people who have had good luck with them but when it is time to replace it will go with another brand.

Triangulation
by Christopher Allen
Pete? Mick here. There's a slight problem on the motorway, right. Dunno really. You're leaving already? You can't— Right, right. Awfully sorry— He hangs up, doesn't say good-bye, like he knew I'd fuck up. He offered me a week's work to help get me back on the horse. Not like winning the lottery, but I really needed a leg up. Thing is, I was already late when I got on the motorway. I'm a bloody cock-up stuck behind the crash of the century. Everyone's going bankrupt, you know. Not just me. The sun rises, and lorry drivers get out one by one to pee in front of God and everyone. I can't go in front of people, not even in a crisis. I sit for hours and watch a hundred gulls mill around on a pitch like they've forgotten how to play the game. When I can't hold it any longer, I wet myself just as the announcer says it's going to be a warm, sunny day.
Traffic on I75 slows to a standstill. I flip on my hazard lights and smile at the pastel blue horizon at the moment a rapper on 94.5 FM patters darkening sky. The irony expands when she says prosperity like Ed McMahon if he shouted "Vito, you've just won a million dollars!"—which would only start to pay the hospital bills. She doesn't mention the hospital in North Carolina where I'll die—exorbitantly. If we'd been uninsured, Father State would have paid; but I'm rich, so Hal, a person I never should have married, will lose it all. Instead, she weighs down the air with unspeakableness. And fades. The announcer says it'll take until noon to recover the bodies and that today will be bright and sunny. I miss the rapper, but she knows where I'm going, and she'll be there waiting. Like a friend; like a virus. Like gulls on a playing field, waiting for instinct to go viral, waiting for something to scare them into flight.
I've researched radiation fog, so I know this morning is the perfect dawn. Classic radio plays Bolero as I drive 190 into a wall of white. There was fog on the A19 the morning Anna ended in metal and fire. I wasn't there; I was in Hamburg cheating on her for the first and last time. An announcer says there's been a Massenkarambolage on the A19 and the day will be sunny and mild. I'm startled by a man shouting Schalte das Radio aus, verdammt nochmals! and a sudden crisis of saws. I try to reach the radio, but I'm pinned horizontal, eyes on a playing field where an army of angels is dropping from a ceiling of fog. I try to stay and watch, but I'm already ceding to abstraction.

Here we go one step beyond the basics and recommend that the exceptional investment funds for 2014 and beyond will be finances that invest cash in opportunity investments. You can debate whether diverse inventory funds or bond funds could be the fine budget to invest cash in, but your pleasant investment may finance that make investments cash in alternative investments like gold, oil, and perhaps even actual property stocks.
Informed buyers realize that you should invest cash in more than one vicinity with a purpose to have an assorted portfolio. Most traders think that the exceptional funding strategy is too personal the high-quality finances and that your handiest selections are various inventory finances and bond funds. Few have a deal with at the arena referred to as "opportunity investments". Where do you suspect the smart traders will invest cash when neither shares (in fashionable) nor bonds look appealing and safe investments are paying document low hobby prices?
The pinnacle dogs go searching for opportunities that are "out of doors of the container" in search of their first-rate investment options. Welcome to the area of alternative investments. As an average investor attempting to find the great finances, you may need to broaden your horizons as well. If our economic system remains lackluster and interest costs upward push in 2014 and beyond both assorted inventory budget and bond price range may want to take successfully. So, where can you make investments money for better returns if matters flip bitter in 2014 and/or 2015?
Gold isn't always reasonably-priced anymore but it's miles nicely under its highs as I write this. Gold finances make investments cash in shares within the gold and silver mining enterprise, and they took the first-rate hit in 2013. Historically, gold has been one of the excellent investment alternatives in instances of excessive uncertainty and crisis. The gold budget might be one of the fine funds if things get unpleasant in 2014 and beyond. They might also or might not be your great funding, but adding them to your portfolio at this time to feature greater diversification might be a good idea simply in case.
Another opportunity funding that is a candidate for satisfactory funding thoughts: oil and different natural sources. Your excellent funds to invest money in right here and preserve matters simply are referred to as herbal resources budget. They too have verified to be good performers while the inventory market in well known is having a tough time. You would possibly suppose that fuel costs at the pump (and oil charges) are high now, but think back some years. Prices can constantly move better, even in a horrific financial system.
And then there is actual property as an opportunity investment. This industry has recovered from the monetary crisis lows, in no small part because of low-interest rates. What will show up if quotes climb because the economic system sputters? Investors normally make investments cash in actual property with borrowed money. The fact of the matter is that hobby fees are nevertheless low by historical standards. Real estate finances may be one of your quality investment alternatives as investors rush in to shop for before costs climb further. The nice funds here invest cash in actual property investment trusts and different groups within the real estate quarter, like domestic builders. Caution: whilst costs upward push notably the actual estate industry can sputter.
Why do I advise that the nice price range in 2014 and past could be those that make investments cash in specialized sectors like gold, natural resources and perhaps real estate? Historically, in terrible instances for the economic system and inventory marketplace, in general, those industries can attract cash as investors search for the fine investment options to make investments money in. Both shares (in trendy) and bonds are promoting near historical highs. Bonds have been on a thirty yr roll, and shares have climbed 150% in much less than five years. Neither appears cheap by means of any trendy.
In your look for the great investment alternatives to make your money grow, from time to time you want to look outdoor of the field. You want to make investments money in order that some of its far safe and to be had for destiny possibilities. And in instances like 2014 and past it is an amazing concept to similarly diversify into opportunity investments. The best and first-class investment vehicle for the average investor is mutual finances. The quality funds to feature for your portfolio are the ones which could swim in opposition to the tide when it is going out.
Step 1: Meeting Investment Prerequisites-Before one even thinks of investing, they should make certain they have got safely furnished for the necessities, like housing, food, transportation, garb, and many others. Also, there have to be a further amount of cash that would be used as emergency coins, and safety in opposition to different diverse dangers. This protection might be thru existence, fitness, belongings, and liability insurance.
Step 2: Establishing Investing Goals-Once the prerequisites are sorted, an investor will then need to establish their investing dreams, which is laying out economic goals they desire to reap. The desires selected will decide what styles of investments they will make. The maximum not unusual making an investment dreams are gathering retirement finances, growing cutting-edge profits, saving for import prices, and sheltering income from taxes.
Step 3: Adopting an Investment Plan-Once someone has their trendy goals, they will need to adopt a funding plan. This will include specifying a target date for attaining a goal and the quantity of tolerable danger concerned.
Step four: Evaluating Investment Vehicles-Next up is comparing investment automobiles with the aid of searching at every automobile's capability go back and hazard.
Step 5: Selecting Suitable Investments-With all of the information accumulated thus far, someone will use it to choose the investment cars so that it will praise their goals the maximum. One ought to take into consideration predicted return, danger, and tax concerns. The careful choice is essential.
Step 6: Constructing a Diversified Portfolio-In order to obtain their funding dreams, investors will need to pull together a funding portfolio of suitable investments. Investors have to diversify their portfolio by way of along with a number of one of a kind investment vehicles to earn higher returns and/or to be uncovered to much less chance as opposed to simply limiting themselves to 1 or investments. Investing in mutual funds can assist obtain diversification and still have the benefit of it being professionally controlled.
Step 7: Managing the Portfolio-Once a portfolio is prepared, an investor should degree the conduct in terms of expected performance, and make changes as needed.
Basic Sources of Taxation-There are two primary sorts of taxes to know approximately that are the ones levied with the aid of the federal government, and those levied with the aid of nation and nearby governments. The federal profits tax is the main form of personal taxation, even as a kingdom and local taxes can vary from region to region. In addition to the income taxes, the nation, and nearby governments additionally, acquire sales from sales and belongings taxes. These income taxes have the finest impact on security investments, which the returns are within the form of dividends, interest, and increases in fee. Property taxes also can have a huge effect on the actual estate and other kinds of belongings funding.
Investments and Taxes-Taking into tax legal guidelines is a vital a part of the investment system. Tax planning involves examining each cutting-edge and projected profits, and growing techniques to help defer and limit the level of taxes. Planning for those taxes will assist investment sports over time so that an investor can reap most after-tax returns.
Tax-Advantaged Retirement Vehicles-Over the years the federal government has established several kinds of retirement cars. Employer-backed plans can consist of 401(ok) plans, financial savings plans, and income-sharing plans. These plans are normally voluntary and allow employees to increase the amount of money for retirement and tax benefit of tax-deferral benefits. Individuals can also setup tax-sheltered retirement packages like Keogh plans and SEP-IRAs for the self-employed. IRAs and Roth IRAs may be setup by means of nearly all and sundry, concern to sure qualifications. These plans commonly permit human beings to defer taxes on each the contributions and income until retirement.
As buyers age, their funding strategies generally tend to exchange as well. They have a tendency to be extra aggressive while they are younger and transition to greater conservative investments as they grow older. Younger investors commonly move for growth-oriented investments that target capital profits as opposed to current earnings. This is due to the fact they do not commonly have much for the investable budget, so capital profits are regularly regarded as the fastest manner to build up capital. These investments are generally via high-chance common stocks, alternatives, and futures.
As the traders come to be extra center-aged, other such things as educational costs and retirement emerge as greater critical. As this happens, the typical investor moves towards more better fine securities which can be low-danger boom and profits shares, excessive-grade bonds, favored shares, and mutual price range.
As the buyers get toward retirement, their cognizance is generally on the upkeep of capital and profits. Their investment portfolio is now usually very conservative at this point. It could generally include low-chance income shares and mutual finances, high-yield government bonds, best company bonds, CDs, and other brief-term investment vehicles.
Even though the government has distinctive tools or techniques for moderating financial swings, traders will nevertheless bear numerous modifications within the financial system while investing. An investment program needs to allow the investor to understand and react to converting situations within the economy. It is vital to recognize wherein to put your money and whilst to make your movements.
Knowing wherein to position your cash is the perfect component to address. This includes matching the threat and go back targets of an investor's plan with the investment vehicles. For example, if there is an experienced investor which could tolerate greater threat, then speculative stocks can be proper for them. An amateur investor that needs a first rate return on their capital might also determine to spend money on a boom-oriented mutual fund. Although shares and boom budget can also do well in an increasing economic system, they are able to become screw ups at different times. Because of this, it is crucial to recognize while to make your moves.
When Is The Best Time To Buy And Sell Stocks?


Submitted photo The boys of Summer 2018: from left Randy Krzmarzick, Stew Thornley and Scott Surprenant.
You've seen those surveys where they ask people if they could spend a day with anyone, who would they choose? Notable figures like Lincoln, Ghandi, and Einstein usually rank near the top.
I was lucky in June to spend a day with Stew Thornley. Stew would be behind Abe, Mahatma, and Albert on my list, but not too far. And he has the distinct advantage of being alive.
If you are a baseball fan, you've probably heard of Stew Thornley. Stew is the preeminent baseball historian in Minnesota, having written several books and numerous articles. He has been around the game in many capacities, and currently is an official scorekeeper for the Minnesota Twins.
Thornley found my name connected with Babe Ruth's visit to Sleepy Eye in 1922. I have written about that day in my hometown's history. Stew was doing research about ballparks in Minnesota where Ruth played on his barnstorming tours. He was excited to learn that the actual ballpark is still here.
Stew was interested in coming from the Cities to see the ballpark. He likes to make a road trip or two each summer to see town ball across Minnesota. It made sense to combine a visit with a ballgame. Or two. Or three. We found a Sunday in June where we could make a tour of Brown County baseball, taking advantage of a full day on the Tomahawk East League schedule.
We met up in Hanska where the Lakers were hosting the Essig Blue Jays. It was warmish, and we found a spot shaded by trees behind third base, joining families with their lawn chairs set up. Hanlin Field is in very nice shape. The concession stand built into the grandstand is a natural gathering spot.
Thus, began our day of watching ball and visiting about all sorts of matters. A note about watching baseball. There is no better setting for conversation than a ballgame. There are breaks interspersed with action that intermittently demands attention. Conversation can drift along about jobs, family, current events and at any moment turn back to the game. And then drift away.
Stew and I crossed paths years ago. We were both at Met Stadium on June 26, 1977. That was the memorable day when Rod Carew went over .400 and the Twins beat the White Sox 19 to 12 in front of a full house. During a radio interview a couple years ago, I found out that Stew was the infamous fan who climbed the leftfield foul pole on a dare about fifty feet in front of me. I was one of 46,000 wildly cheering him on.
Of course, I had to bring that up. Stew admitted it was not his proudest moment. He was thrown out and missed the rest of a great game. In a courtroom later that week, he was fined $25. Stew said there was snickering when the judge read aloud the incident report.
Terry Helget was at Hanska on the day we were there. Stew knew of Terry through a common umpire friend; I think Stew knows everybody. While visiting, Terry's son Jay lined a solid hit to center. Jay is from a ball-playing family. Stew knew of the Helget legacy, so that was a good moment.
After a few innings in Hanska, we took the road north to County Road 24, which cuts through Brown County with an improbable five ballparks on its way. We stopped our cars briefly at Sigel and Stark. Then it was to Leavenworth to see Duke Cook's Baseball Museum in the old Catholic school building. We met Scott Surprenant there.
Duke passed away in March. His museum with its delightfully random collection of baseball keepsakes lives on. Fittingly, there was a kid's game on the neighboring ballfield and we watched that from the right field fence for a bit. Then we drove past the church and cemetery before a stop at the Leavenworth ballpark on the corner of 24 and 8.
Next up was Sleepy Eye ballpark, the same ballpark where Babe Ruth and Yankee teammate Bob Meusel played on Oct. 16, 1922. On this day, the Indians were hosting St. James in a late afternoon game. A small storm had passed through with a quick shower, and cool air made conditions perfect.
After walking around the park and picture-taking for Stew, we made our way up to the press box. Tom Wheeler was broadcasting the game for KNUJ. Being in the booth by himself, Tom had about 20 things he was doing at one time. But he slipped a pair of headphones to Stew, and they kibitzed between pitches about the Twins, town ball, and Babe Ruth.
Denny Mangen was up in the booth operating the scoreboard. Denny is a longtime baseball volunteer, one of those people who keep the game alive in our area. A funny moment came when Denny put an error on the scoreboard on a difficult play for an infielder. Stew said almost under his breath, "Oh. That's an error?" Scott and I looked at Denny and started laughing. He wasn't used to having his scoring questioned by an official Major League scorekeeper.
At Stark Stew got to meet a few of the local characters, which is half the fun at these ballparks. From our spot behind third base, we saw David Surprenant power a homerun over the leftfield fence. Scott informed us that he had homered off that pitcher late in his own career, and that this was the first pitcher he and his son had both homered off. I suggested to Stew that he add witnessing that historic homerun to his long list of baseball highlights. He agreed, maybe a bit below the World Series games.
As darkness began to fall, Stew headed home, with talk about a return date next summer to see a game at Essig and/or Springfield.
Let's take a look at the final statistics for our day: three ballgames, five ballparks, a Hanska dog, a Starkburger, a couple of Schell's, and lots of good conversation. I'd say that's a win.

Q: how to filter specific values out of an array? Hi I have an array as below
 "data": [
{
  "title": "title1",
  "category": "apple"
},
{
  "title": "title2",
  "category": "bannana"
},
{
  "title": "title3",
  "category": "grape"
}
]

etc
I have a var like below
$categories = 'bannana, grape';

I have a loop which runs through the data and extracts all of the titles.
What I'm trying to achieve is a loop which will go through the array and only extract titles where the category matches one of the values in $categories variable.
so in this case the title1 will be ignored as it is in the category apple. but title2 and title3 would be added to a new array or put in a string, etc.
Any help on where to begin with this is appreciated. Thanks

A: Simple
$categories = 'bannana, grape';
$categories = array_flip(array_map("trim", explode(",", $categories)));

$data = array_filter($data, function ($v) use($categories) {
    return isset($categories[$v['category']]);
});
var_dump($data);

See Live DEMO

A: All you need to do is explode the data array and use in_array to verify the title contains one of your categories, see below:
PHP Example
$categories = "banana, grape";
$data = [
    [
        'title' => 'title1',
        'category' => 'apple',
    ],
    [
        'title' => 'title2',
        'category' => 'banana',
    ],
    [
        'title' => 'title3',
        'category' => 'grape',
    ],
];

$category_map = explode(", ", $categories);

foreach($data as $title) {
    if(in_array($title['category'], $category_map)) {
        echo $title['category'] . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

Example Returns
banana
grape

A: To filter an array use array_filter with a closure.
$categoriesArray = explode(",", $categories);
$filtered = array_filter($data, function($a) use ($categoriesArray){
     return in_array($a["category"], $categoriesArray);
});

foreach($filtered as $topic){
      echo $topic["category"]."<br/>";
}
