It's natural that we're responsibly sourcing our ingredients
As a global, plant-based foods company, the ongoing success of our business depends on using high-quality ingredients to make foods enjoyed by people around the world. This means that farmers and their communities are essential to our work. By responsibly sourcing our ingredients, we are doing our part to support farmers' resiliency and the wellbeing of people and the planet, especially during periods of environmental or economic stress. We're working together to address some of our world's greatest challenges, including climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity, human rights and significant disruptions. Especially in 2020, COVID-19 has deepened our awareness of how profoundly these disruptions can affect the lives of people in our supply chains.
Creating these resilient agriculture systems can be challenging, especially in regions where farmers grow food and ingredients under extraordinary circumstances. That's why we collaborate with suppliers and organizations around the world to inform and improve our efforts to achieve our commitment of 100% responsibly sourced priority ingredients by the end of 2020. In 2019, we engaged 117 priority-ingredient suppliers in measuring continuous improvements or making direct investments in our ingredient sourcing regions. The following chart details our progress.
To progress towards responsibly sourcing our ingredients, we work with suppliers, farmers, scientists and NGOs identify opportunities to help farmers and workers improve climate resilience, enhance biodiversity, improve livelihoods, and help address human rights and equity. We do so first by measuring continuous improvement through the Kellogg Grower Survey or equivalent industry tools like Fieldprint® Platform's Field to Market® or SAI Platform's Farm Sustainability Assessment. From there, Kellogg and our partners establish Kellogg's Origins™ programs to provide training and technical assistance and share best practices that improve farm productivity, regenerate soil health, protect species and habitats, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Kellogg's Origins™ program that supports responsible sourcing is one aspect of our Kellogg's Better Days® global purpose platform and our commitment to support 1 million farmers and workers through programs focused on climate, social and financial resiliency by the end of 2030. Through 2019, we have supported more than 433,000 farmers, including 13,270 women and 32,605 smallholders, around the world through over 40 active Kellogg's Origins™ programs
Following are highlights of some of the Origins projects at work:
In 2019, Kellogg launched the Supporting U.S. Farmers program with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to provide farmers in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions with funds and technical assistance to improve their practices. Through this collaboration across Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Arkansas ‒ where we source corn, wheat and rice to make beloved cereals like Frosted Mini-Wheats, Raisin Bran and others ‒ we have helped farmers implement conservation and regenerative agriculture practices like cover cropping, conservation tillage, nutrient management, vegetative buffers, irrigation efficiency and wetland restoration across 54,000 acres of farmland. Many of these practices also protect local watersheds by effectively preventing soil from eroding from the land and seeping into waterways.
Since 2013, we have worked with our rice suppliers, the Institute of Agri-food Research and Technology (IRTA), and farmers in Spain's Delta del Ebro region to build an active farmer-peer network supported by guidance from trusted experts to protect biodiversity, improve farm profitability and conserve natural resources. This holistic program offers training, agricultural extension research and demonstration plots farmers volunteer from their own farms to trial practices that can improve soil fertility, water management and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Over the seven-year life of the project, farmers have installed 323 bat boxes that provide on-farm habitats for natural pest predators and pollinators. More recently, a 2019 trial on three farms showed an impressive 15%-45% reduction in GHG emissions from improved irrigation methods. Farmers also began testing winter cover crops like ryegrass, pea and a mix of oat and vetch to improve soil fertility and in-field biodiversity. Innovations from this project can also help farmers' businesses: by 2018, participating farmers reported a 15% increase in production and an average profitability increase of €285 ($320) per hectare.
In Mexico, Kellogg partners with the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (CIMMYT, or the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) to responsibly source local corn ingredients for Kellogg's Corn Flakes® and Kellogg's Zucaritas® CIMMYT's agricultural innovation network helps small- and medium-sized farmers increase their yields with conservation agriculture practices, while also sustainably growing the yellow maize we use in our foods. By 2019, this initiative reached more than 370 growers, who benefited from the project with training or by selling their grain to Kellogg. In 2019, participating farmers improved profitability by an average 11% and saw measurable improvements in water-use efficiency, pesticide reduction and nutrient management. Kellogg is also a founding supporter of MasAgro, a joint initiative that has thus far brought hundreds of thousands of smallholder and women farmers together with agricultural research and development organizations to raise and stabilize their crop yields, increase their incomes, and reduce the effects of climate change on Mexico's agricultural output.
Farmers across Central America face decreasing crop yields, loss of income and an inability to consistently maintain farms due to impacts from climate change and global crop market price shocks. In response to these risks, Kellogg and Olam Group have been collaborating since 2018 to support the livelihoods and resilience of 3,000 cocoa farmers in Ecuador over three years. The initiative provides training and materials to help farmers diversify crops grown on cocoa plantations, create new income streams and produce their own organic fertilizers and insect repellants using items like coffee leave already available on farms. The program also will enhance local biodiversity by providing farmers with 30 fruit and native trees for every hectare of cocoa seedlings planted during the project.
In 2019, we achieved our goal of 100% responsibly sourced vanilla from Madagascar in our foods. Through a three-year project with ingredient supplier Symrise, we're working with local nongovernmental organizations in 20 villages in Ankavanana, a remote region prone to high soil erosion due to slash and burn practices used to clear forests to grow vanilla. The program is improving vanilla production and farmer livelihoods, while also decreasing deforestation and reducing food insecurity, especially malnutrition among local families. You can read more about our impact here.
Building Better Days through responsible, resilient supply chains
Since Kellogg began our responsible sourcing journey in 2014, we have made tremendous progress with our 10 priority ingredients. Over time, we also have come to better understand the dynamic nature of our supply chains and our business. Some of our current priorities – like corn, wheat, rice and potatoes – continue to be the core of our business, while others have decreased in volume due to divestiture or shifts in strategy. Similarly, new ingredients have become more material to our business as we grow in emerging markets and acquire new businesses. For these reasons, we reassessed our ingredient materiality to identify new priority ingredients aligned to our 2030 Better Days strategy.
Starting in 2021, we will add six new ingredients – eggs, oats, soy, cheese, almonds and hazelnuts – to our responsible sourcing initiatives. We will publish our complete assessment results in 2020 and we are working with our internal teams, partners and suppliers to finalize our strategy for responsibly sourcing these ingredients, using a risk- and context-based approach. We also will continue to review our priority ingredients through 2030 to ensure our programs are responsive to changes in the world and in our business.

A window installer will remove the broken window, place the new window, clean the premise and get rid of the old window. Additionally, he will also clean the new window. Generally, the estimate is given by the united inches which is calculated by adding the length of the window with the width. So a 30 by 45 inches window gives us 30+45= 75 united inches. One should also know the different types of windows to understand this better.
While vinyl windows are the least expensive windows, there are other materials used for Windows, including wood, fibreglass, aluminium and steel. You can find lots of different shapes and sizes of windows which give your home the look and feel you want.
Heard of energy efficient windows? Many governing bodies define energy efficient windows and you can find detailed comparison of these windows online. Energy rating stars define how good and energy efficient your window is, with 5 stars being the highest rating. It also depends on the climate of your area. Depending on the sun and weather exposure, different walls of your home might need different windows for most energy savings. We take all these into account while suggesting and doing Windows replacement in Essex, an area which we know like the back of our palm.
There can be some additional costs of windows replacement.
Make sure that the estimate includes disposing the old window.
If the existing window is not of standard size, the cost will go up as you either need to enlarge the existing place to fit a standard sized window or buy a specially made window. This can often double the cost.
If the window has dry rot damages, it should be repaired before the new window is placed into that. The cost depends on the degree of the existing damage.

U-shaped crates of laminated paperboard protect solar panel rails
Service, performance and price play their part in selection of protective packaging
Much has changed in the green energy marketplace since David Katz founded Alternative Energy Engineering 30-plus years ago with the idea of bringing solar power to the people of northern California.
Today, AEE Solar is a major distributor of solar power equipment with headquarters in Redway, Calif., a warehouse in Sacramento, offices in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, and shipping across North America.
Technological advances in photovoltaic systems, rebate programs from utilities, tax incentives from the government, increasing awareness of carbon footprints and the volatility in the price of fossil fuel energy have all contributed to sometimes dramatic spurts of growth in the solar power industry.
"Up until about October and the start of the recession, our industry was growing exponentially for the last 10 years or so," said Tim Vaughn, product manager for AEE Solar. "Overall, the solar power equipment industry is growing 25 to 35 percent annually. I worked at one company that grew 300 percent in one year."
One thing that hasn't changed is the need to ship solar panel equipment in such a way as to ensure its timely, damage-free arrival at the job site or contractor warehouse. And that's where Laminations® UCrate® comes into the picture for AEE Solar.
Launched just last April, UCrate consists of seamless U–shaped channels of laminated paperboard that fit snugly together to create a sturdy, environmentally friendly way to ship long, narrow products. The construction and design of UCrate makes it ideal for solar panel rails that can run up to nearly 14 feet in length.
As a distributor, AEE Solar carries an extensive variety of photovoltaic panels and mounting systems from multiple manufacturers and distributes the equipment to integrators and installers. The equipment is distributed in the OEM's packaging.
But several months ago when AEE Solar began to manufacture its own mounting system rails under the name SnapNrack® in addition to carrying those of other manufacturers, the company needed to come up with its own packaging, said Vaughn.
Working with his distributor, River City Paper, Vaughn had previously tried other approaches in packaging solar panel rails, including slit-scored corrugated. "The workers had to really bend the edges of the corrugated and use a lot of tape to hold it together, so it was a very labor intensive process," said Amanda Ramsey, River City Paper sales representative.
River City Paper was already carrying Laminations® signature VBoard® product, which led Ramsey to think that Laminations might have some ideas on how to package a long, narrow product like the rails.
"I gave Chris Wingenroth a call and he was all over it," said Ramsey, referring to her Laminations Account Manager.
The UCrate solution
Made of extruded anodized aluminum, SnapNrack rails are manufactured in two lengths: 162 inches or 122 inches. In shipping and handling, two major priorities are protecting the finish and preventing the ends from becoming bent.
AEE Solar employees wrap pairs of rails with stretch wrap to prevent rattling and shifting during transit and then place either one or two pairs of wrapped rails in the appropriate length UCrate of 168 inches or 126 inches. Rails can be placed into upright UCrates or the crates can be placed over the rails and then flipped upright.
Wooden blocks are placed on the inside ends, and the bottom UCrate piece is stapled to the blocks. The blocks are 3-3/8 inches square and 1-1/2 inches thick and are cut to size from scrap 2X4s at local pallet companies. The wooden blocks have eliminated any problem with ends of the rails becoming bent or misshapen during transit and handling, Ramsey and Vaughn agreed. Other end-cap options include 2-fold and 4-fold corrugated.
At AEE Solar, the top of the crate is then put in place and also stapled to the end blocks. The final touch is running a strip of shipping tape down the seams where the tops and bottoms meet to ensure they don't separate.
A finished package weighs 15-30 pounds, making the packaging of the rails easily a one-person operation, Vaughn said.
The features of UCrate are tailor-made for a shipping application such as the one at AEE Solar. "UCrate is an excellent product for us, both in the cost of the material and its durability for shipping,'' said Vaughn.
"UCrate has a number of advantages over other protective package solutions when it comes to the solar rails," Wingenroth said. "UCrate is lighter than wood crates, offers better impact resistance and scuff protection than corrugated, delivers substantial beam strength without sacrificing shock absorption capabilities, and makes it much easier to load long, narrow products."
The manufacture of UCrate product was made possible by a substantial investment in proprietary equipment by Laminations and the expiration last spring of a patent held by a competitor.
The custom-designed machinery accommodates paper rolls up to 18 inches wide to create matching U-shaped channels with a broad range of leg heights and base widths. Standard lengths extend to 300 inches but longer lengths also are available. Standard caliper options range from 0.080 to 0.600 inches.
AEE Solar uses crates with a base width of 3-1/4 inches, leg lengths of 3-1/2 inches and a caliper of 0.080 inches.
High-quality print options for adding logos, messages or handling instructions also are available. AEE Solar has custom-printed UCrate with their logo and tagline — AEE Solar: The Only Wholesale Distributor You'll Ever Need — spaced evenly along the crate.
Over the AEE logo in the middle of the package, workers place a dark blue SnapNrack logo over the AEE logo. "It really stands out and helps reinforce the name of our product along with the name of our company," Vaughn said.
Price, Service, Performance
Laminations competed with another paperboard crate manufacturer for the SnapNrack packaging business, said Vaughn, who had used the competitor's U-shaped packaging at a solar equipment company he worked at prior to AEE Solar. In choosing UCrate, price was a factor, but not the only one.
"The quotes were pretty comparable, but when I calculated freight and some other things, I liked what I saw with UCrate. The response time from Laminations was good and the service was there," he said.
Vaughn said he also likes the clean, professional look that the UCrate packaging gives to his product. The clay coat with white finish and sturdy nature of the laminated paperboard really hold up to the handling stress of shipping by common carrier across the country and into Canada.
Ramsey, who has served the AEE Solar account for about two years, said superior customer service by Laminations and Wingenroth really helped secure the account with AEE Solar.
"Without Chris, the deal would not have gone through," she said. "He drove up here to make calls with me, answered my phone calls and e-mails within minutes and went beyond customer service. He became like a friend. UCrate represented the first time we had quoted on a product like this and Chris really talked me through it."

On Purvi Patel
Words by Nadya Agrawal
Tags: Reproductive Rights
The sad case of Purvi Patel, an Indian-American woman and the first person in US history to be charged, convicted, and sentenced for intentional miscarriage by a state, hinges on weak evidence, anti-choice vitriol, and fear.
Patel, at the time of her miscarriage in 2013, was keeping her pregnancy a secret from her conservative Hindu parents as it involved a married man and premarital sex. When she gave birth, in a flood of blood and terror, she was completely out of her depth. Patel delivered her highly premature baby by herself. And after attempting and failing to resuscitate the fetus, who wasn't moving, she disposed of the body and took herself to the hospital. There, she told the doctors she had a miscarriage and had disposed of the fetus's body.
Later police interrogation has her stating she didn't know how far along she was, and she estimated it couldn't have been more than two months. During that time she did not seek prenatal care, again out of fear that her family would find out. The autopsy of the fetus puts it more at 24–26 weeks, but in her denial of her pregnancy she possibly deluded herself about how far along she was. The police interrogator also seemed to be fixated on the race of the fetus' father, asking Patel over and over again 'Was he Indian and where was he?'
The court proceeding for the case had a variety of issues and irregularities:
A text of Patel's mentioning that she was looking for abortion-inducing drugs was submitted as evidence that she was considering abortion. Though no abortifacients were found in her blood and no proof of the purchase was forwarded, the prosecution still argued she had taken drugs with the intention to abort the fetus.
The prosecution presented an expert who used the defunct and widely discredited 'lung float test' (where the fetus' lungs are floated in water to determine whether they were living when they were born) to prove Patel killed a 'viable' fetus, e.g. a fetus that was capable of living. The 'lung float test' was discredited 100 years ago.
On this murky evidence, she was sentenced to 20 years in jail for 'feticide' and 'neglect of a dependent' though these two crimes are mutually exclusive since neglect implies a living fetus.
If Patel was in fact trying to have an abortion, it does not make sense that Indiana's state feticide law would be invoked in her case, even if she was attempting it with non-prescription abortifacients. Before now Indiana's feticide laws were employed to punish those who intentionally terminated another person's pregnancy, not their own.
Besides the obvious oddities of her sentence, Patel seems to have faced some discrimination and racism within her case's proceedings. The policeman asking her over and over again whether the fetus' father was Indian is particularly weird. It's also interesting that Bei Bei Shuai, a Chinese immigrant, faced similar charges right before Patel when she caused her fetus' death because of her own attempted suicide. This isn't enough to assume that Patel was charged because of racism, but these events are worth noting especially as women of color are becoming more frequently targeted by enforcers of feticide laws.
It is also interesting to note Indiana's lack of an 'attempted feticide' subsection of state law. Most other laws in Indiana, like murder or assault, have a tempered 'attempted' category that reduces the sentence for those who try and fail. Feticide, in Indiana law, does not have this consideration. Either you are guilty of it or you are not. This leaves very little wiggle room, legally speaking, even for misinformed and scared women like Patel.
In addition, Indiana's abortion laws, while legalizing abortion, do make it extremely difficult for those seeking abortions. 93% of Indiana's counties don't have abortion clinics and anti-abortion counseling is mandatory before the procedure. Though Patel ultimately decided against an abortion, it's unclear whether Indiana's lack of abortion rights and clinic accessibility played into this decision. Though she did not opt for an abortion, she also did not seek prenatal care, implying that she was not focused on raising the child. If she had had an easier time of it, Patel may have opted for a safe and legal abortion, but it remains that she had a miscarriage and gave birth to a premature baby.
In this case, when the evidence for Patel's fetus being 'viable' could not been proven 'beyond a reasonable doubt,' it seems ridiculous and unjust that she would receive such a hefty sentence. And if medical experts diverge over whether there was enough evidence the fetus was alive at birth, then it's reasonable Patel, with no medical experience, may have been unable to tell as well. Also it seems especially wrong that a law without previous precedent in this area would be employed to sentence her. Even the sentence — to have Patel be convicted of both neglect and fetal homicide sounds like double jeopardy. Surely fetal homicide includes neglect? Everything in Patel's case feels incorrect.
Many states have a scary track record of hauling women in for feticide because they fell down the stairs or took other actions during their own pregnancies. At some point it stops seeming like these are cases of feticide and rather it's more about criminalizing women and controlling pregnancies. If a woman can be forced to undergo a dangerous C-section she doesn't want for the sake of protecting a premature baby, the law ceases protecting mothers entirely. At what point does the law determine the rights of the mother and the rights of the child are acceptably mutually exclusive? And when does the mother's rights cease to matter?
In each of the cases where women are charged with intentionally killing or harming their own fetus, outside of normal abortion considerations, it seems as though there is an intention to punish them beyond their crimes. Possibly Patel was wrong to dispose of her miscarriage on her own but surely there should be some allowance for basic fear and panic. It is not fair to assume that she did not do everything should could think of doing and ultimately, in an act of self-preservation, took herself to the hospital to get checked by a doctor. Her actions are not inherently criminal, though they may have been confused. Though she was strongly motivated by fear and shame, Indiana is bending state law and precedent to punish her. It is unjust.
Want to help Purvi Patel? Deep Iyer has supplied this list of options to help Patel and her family:
Four Things You Can Do Now
1. Sign the petition at RhReality Check: Send a message to Indiana leaders about Purvi's case and the feticide law. You can also sign a petition here (at whitehouse.gov) which asks for a full pardon for Purvi Patel.
2. Support Purvi Patel's Family: Patel was the breadwinner and caregiver in her family. Donate to support her family.
3. Raise awareness: Share articles and resources about the verdict with your own networks; write blogposts and opeds; and tweet using #Justice4Purvi to raise awareness about the implications of this case on the rights of all women.
4. Send a note of support to Purvi Patel: You can send cards to Purvi Patel c/o The Indiana Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice (IRCRC), PO Box 723, Lafayette, IN 47902. They will deliver them to Patel on their visits to her in prison.

*You can also join the Facebook page, Justice for Purvi Patel, here.


Promotions is a method to temporarily increase the strategy score of selected products in a market. It is useful for use cases such as promotions of upcoming external campaigns, stock clearance of specific products, or promoting certain brands or type of products. Promoted products will gain positions in search results, category pages, and other locations where promotions are supported. All promotions are managed in the Business app.
Before a promotion can be created, the Admin app must be fully configured. Access for users to the promotions tab is set in the admin app User management tab on a per user basis.
Each promotion is identified by a name and has start and end time. The time setting enables a user for example to schedule promotions to start or end at out-of-office hours.
A boost level is set to determine how the selected products will be promoted. Statistics are collected during the promotion and can be measured.
If a product is part of both a promotion and a demotion at the same time, the strategy score from the demotion is used for the product.
A promotion can have three different levels: low, medium, or high. The high boost level is recommended in most use cases.
Low - During the promotion, the strategy score of each promoted product is adjusted to be higher than ~90% of the products that currently have a higher strategy score.
Medium - During the promotion, the strategy score of each promoted product is adjusted to be higher than ~99% of the products that currently have a higher strategy score.
High - During the promotion, the strategy score of each promoted product is adjusted to be higher than all products which are not promoted.
During a promotion period, aggregated statistics for all promoted products are collected for displays, clicks, sold units, revenue, and profit. Revenue and profit are shown in the currency configured for the current market.
Statistics can be measured to show the impact of the promotion. When activating measurements, 80% of the sessions will show the promotion and 20% will not. The impact is measured by comparing the statistics from sessions with promotions to sessions without promotions. The aggregated statistics of a promotion are based on all sessions, i.e. both sessions with and without promotions.
Notification set-up and implementation affects the statistics collected. Incorrectly set-up notifications will result in incorrect statistics. It is recommended to always measure promotions.
Products used in a promotion can be either handpicked or included (or excluded) by rules.
Products can be handpicked for a promotion. The Search box can be used to search for products using the search attributes configured for the products, including product_key. Handpicked products can be removed from a promotion directly from the main Edit promotion dialogue window.
Products can be included in, and excluded from, a promotion using one or more rule sets. A rule set can include several rules where each rule can either include or exclude products where a configured attribute, such as a brand name or a product category, has one or more values found in eSales.
If more than one value is selected for an attribute in a rule, the values are to be considered as using the logical OR operator. I.e. if a rule with the attribute brand has both Adidas and Nike as values, products with brand configured as Adidas or Nike will be selected.
Each additional rule in a rule set is based on the data returned by the previous rule (logical AND operator). The final product selection within the rule set is based on the data returned by the last rule. This is useful when narrowing down a product set. For example, a rule set has two include rules where first rule has the attribute brand and the value Adidas, and the second rule has the attribute colour and the value Black. The final product selection within the rule set are products with the colour set to Black from the the data set where the brand is Adidas.
It is not recommended to use different rules using include with the same attribute within a rule set as they most likely return no products. I.e. if a rule set has two include rules where first rule has the attribute brand and the value Adidas, and the second rule also has the attribute brand but the value Nike, it will not return any products at all. This is because no products with Nike as brand are present in the data returned where brand is Adidas.
Several rule sets can be used simultaneously. The rule sets operate independently of each other (logical OR operator).
A rule to exclude products by their id's can be used if certain products, that are selected due to the inclusion rules, are deemed unfit for the promotion.
The key use cases for promotions includes managing stock level and promotions of seasonal wear. Read more about use cases and best sales practices on the Promotions page on Apptus.com.
Depending on what panel is used, promotions are utilised either fully or partially. Panels that partially utilise promotions, such as the Autocomplete panel, use product promotions on product backfill. Multi-level sorting will affect promotions.

Mercedes-AMG AND 43 4MATIC Estate, sportsmanship, AMG body family
June 6, 2016 by jason
The new Mercedes-AMG AND 43 Estate accompanying the recently presented Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate in 2016, and will be the version most prestacional of the family in its launch. With all the virtues of the E-Class Estate, like its luxury, technology, great versatility or space -with a boot capacity of 670 litres of capacity, this E-Class AMG family goes beyond performance, exclusivity and dynamism.
the exterior design of The Mercedes-AMG AND 43 4MATIC Estate will not go unnoticed, with small details that are specific to this version as their front bumper with the air inlets of larger size, a front grille of "diamond" effect, side skirts or a rear with quad exhaust and diffuser aerodynamic.
interior you'll also find specific details, as a good AMG: for example, belts red, sports seats with upholstery in leather and microfiber -optionally in leather nappa-, multifunction steering wheel perforated leather with red stitching and shape flattened at its bottom, a roof in either black or aluminum pedals.
In the Mercedes-AMG AND 43 Estate is also present digital instrumentation through a large high-resolution display, which incorporates graphics AMG specific. And among its facilities we must highlight the system AMG Drive Select, with five driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus or Individual) that act on parameters of the change, steering, throttle and suspension.
One of the highlights of this E 43 AMG Estate is, as usual, your engine, identical to that present in the Mercedes-AMG AND 43 4MATIC berlina: the twin-turbo V6 3.0-liter makes 401 HP and 520 Nm of maximum torque available between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm. With an average consumption approved of 8.4 litres/100 km and CO2 emissions of 192 g/km, allows to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,7 seconds, reaching the 250 km/h top speed self-limited.
change automatic 9G-TRONIC of nine relationships allows for a manual operation, while its awd 4 MATIC distributes the engine torque in the ratio 31/69 %, raising the rear axle. Finally, your running gear is complete with an air suspension sport Air Body Control, with variable adjustment automatically, and a alloy wheels of 19 inches in black with five twin-spoke.
Mercedes-AMG AND 43 Estate will be on sale from the 14th of September, and the first units will be delivered in December. Already in 2017 there will come a Mercedes-AMG E 63 Estate, culminating at the range with a V8 Biturbo and more power, closer to 600 HP.

This is a list of countries by external debt, it is the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods or services, where the public debt is the money or credit owed by any level of government, from central to local, and the private debt the money or credit owed by private households or private corporations based on the country under consideration.

For informational purposes, several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list.

Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt (either in absolute or per capita terms) it could actually be a "net international creditor" if its external debt is less than the total of  external debt of other countries held by it.

Raymond II, sometimes numbered Raymond I (c. 904 – 961) was the count of Rouergue and Quercy from 937 to his death. He was the son of Ermengol of Rouergue and Adelaide. Under Raymond, Rouergue achieved a suzerainty over neighbouring counties and he successfully titled himself Margrave (marchio) of Septimania.

Raymond's lordship extended over Albi and Nîmes and, at least around 960, as far north as the Limousin. Raymond was the head of his family, which also ruled Toulouse. Even in his time, his family appeared to be declining. He willed a Gascon fief to Duke Sancho V and allowed it to become allodial after his death. Nonetheless, his power was such that he could command lands as far north as Auvergne and was the most powerful lord of Aquitaine, even holding a "vicar's court" in the Limousin.

His will of 961 is preserved. In it, not only does he reference the aforementioned lands in Auvergne and Gascony, but he mentions seventeen castles and a rocheta. Some castles were given to his wife and heirs and some to the churches of Albi and Cahors and to various abbeys. He died later that year. According to the Liber miraculorum Sancte Fidis (Book of the Miracles of Saint Faith), he was murdered while on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Raymond married Bertha, daughter of Boso of Tuscany. He was succeeded by his son Raymond III.

NEW & IMPROVED. Watch out babies, here comes Reptar! The towering green dinosaur from your favorite childrens cartoon is back and better than ever with this inflatable costume. You'll stop and smash just like Chuckie and Tommy's favorite character!
Won 1st place in costume contest!
Total hit on Halloween. Everyone loves this costume!!! Even won 1st place at school!
The costume is fun and amazing, however, only my second time wearing it and the seam at the neck of the costume ripped.
Impressive, imposing, serious awe factor. Easy enough to get into and inflate. Even if ppl don't know the reference it's still a fun dinosaur. It's almost 7 ft tall, pretty wide, tail is also long-- you will probably need a spotter/handler if you are in normal sized rooms so you don't run into the ceiling fan or knock everything off a table....Truly impressed. Worth every penny.

Past Library Events
The Friends of Osborne Library is available for all members and a series of informative talks are held during the course of the year. See the 'Events Diary' for full details and how to book.
'Life and secrets in Athens in the 1970s' by Jane Pearson – Thursday April 19th 2018
Jane, a member of Friends, gave a very interesting talk on her fascinating life in the 1970s. She and her husband Tony, who was a naval and air attaché to the British Embassy, lived in Athens in the 70s when Greece was under the rule of the military Junta dictatorship.
Tony would gather information and Jane was his 'sidekick', keeping her ear to the ground and collecting interesting snippets as and where she could.
East Cowes during the Blitz by June Weeks – Thursday May 10th 2018
Very few people are alive today who can give a personal account of events in East Cowes during the Blitz. June, one of the original members of Friends, is one of those who as a child of twelve experienced it first hand.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Blitz, June was interviewed by local and national TV. This interview is on DVD and was shown in the library.
June had many stories to tell and was there to answer questions. Sarah Burdett of the East Cowes Heritage Centre was also at the talk with photos of the time.
'Movements in Isle of Wight Architecture from 1840 to 1937' by Mark Luis Earp – Thursday 14th June 2018
Last year Mark gave a very interesting and entertaining talk about Island curiosities. This talk was equally fascinating. Mark talked about three particular styles – the Arts and Craft Movement, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. He also brought a few furniture items along and held a short quiz at the end of the talk!
History of Lacemaking – Thursday 9th March 2017
Members of the Friends of Osborne were given a superb presentation by fellow member Sarah Kurtul. The subject was the 'History of Lacemaking' with a special section on Island lacemaking which included information about Queen Victoria's support of British lacemaking. Sarah paints lace making bobbins and has been doing so for nearly thirty five years with customers all over the World.
Sarah brought with her examples of different types of lace, different types of bobbins and examples of her own work (which were beautiful and so finely decorated). The talk was so well attended it may be repeated later in the year.
The monies collected from attendance at this event were added towards the Friends project in restoring the Andromeda Fountain to working order.
If you would like to see examples of Sarah's work she has a web page which you can visit and browse her gallery at www.paintedlacebobbins.co.uk
Isle of Wight Curiosities – Thursday 11th May 2017
Members of the Friends of Osborne were given a highly interesting and entertaining talk by Mark Luis Earp. Mark provided a fascinating insight into many of the Islands weird and wonderful curiosities, many of which date from the Victorian era.
An Island Legacy – Thursday 15th June 2017
In this superb presentation Ken Hicks compared the 19th Century Brannon engravings of Island scenes with modern day photographs. This provided members with a fascinating insight into the Island 200 years ago and, in many instances, very little has changed!
The Romanovs – Thursday 21st September 2017
Members received an extremely informative talk on The Romanovs at Osborne, their visits and objects by Curator Michael Hunter. Such was the demand for this library event, Michael agreed to deliver an afternoon and evening talk. A total of 37 people attended and £185 was raised.

Q: Required libs for Spring MVC to works like Spring Boot Cloud for AWS? Currently, I have 2 years old Spring MVC apps that deployed in Tomcat 8 in EC2. We required to replaces previously used messaging and pub-sub to SNS or SQS.
I already checked Spring Cloud for AWS (here) but it's for a Spring boot project, and it's too much to work if we have to refactor our 2 years old Spring MVC to boot.
Can anybody point me to a right direction (any links) on how to includes Spring libs (all necessary libs) from Spring boot AWS project into our legacy Spring app?
So I can create a controller that similar to below snippets (for SNS)
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/sns/receive")
public class SnsEndpointController {

@NotificationMessageMapping
public void receiveNotification(@NotificationMessage String message,
@NotificationSubject String subject) {
    // ...
}

@NotificationSubscriptionMapping
public void confirmSubscription(NotificationStatus notificationStatus) {
    notificationStatus.confirmSubscription();
}

Or below snippet (for SQS)
@MessageMapping("logicalQueueName")
private void receiveMessage(Person person, @Header("SenderId") String
senderId) {
    // ...
}

Thank you,

A: Here You have necessary dependency to create controller like above

Serena Williams After Losing 2018 US Open Finals to Naomi Osaka, Accuses Chair Umpire Carlos Ramos of Sexism, Calls Him Thief!
"The umpiring fraternity is thoroughly disturbed at being abandoned by the WTA", retired Gold Badge umpire Richard Ings said, according to ESPN's Peter Bodo.
Carlos Ramos, the umpire at the center of the storm surrounding Serena Williams at the U.S. Open, was "thrown under a bus" by tennis' governing bodies, says a former top-level umpire.
Umpires are reportedly considering a boycott of future Serena Williams tennis matches, according to an anonymous source in The Times.
"The point is he (Ramos) aggravated the situation, instead of "I'm not attacking your character" which is the most important thing he could have said".
The Times of London reports that officials are not only talking about boycotting the tennis star's matches, but they're also looking into forming a union.
What was supposed to be a fairy-tale matchup for Japan's Naomi Osaka and the player she idolizes spun out of control Saturday after Williams was handed code violations that she described as unfair.
This previous weekend, the finals for the U.S. Open erupted in controversy and calls of racism.
Williams was given a code violation warning during the final on September 8 when the umpire ruled that she was getting hand signals from her coach in the stands.
"Carlos Ramos is one of the most experienced and respected umpires in tennis".
Osaka had been composed on the court but became clearly emotional after winning, and pulled her visor over her face as Williams put a comforting arm around her.
Williams, 36, suffered defeat to 20-year-old Osaka in NY on Saturday night, handing the Japanese player her first Grand Slam title.
The WTA validated Williams' complaint that the penalties were sexist and would not have been initiated if Williams were a man. USTA President Katrina Adams said there was "no equality".
He is still set to officiate a Davis Cup match this Friday between the U.S. and Croatia.
