A Thank You To Readers And A Note On Record Amount Of Oil To Be Burned By Saudi Arabia To Power Air Conditioning -- July 21, 2020
First things first: a huge "thank you" to readers, again. A reader caught a huge mistake in an article that I linked. I completely missed it so I consider that an error on my part also. And it was a huge error (pipeline capacity stated to be 250 million bopd when in fact closer to 25 thousand bopd). But the error was quickly noted and corrected.
But that's only half the story. The other reason to thank readers: folks don't alert me to minor typographical errors that don't affect the story and which I generally eventually find and correct later. Sometime much later. But it's nice to not be "nickeled-and-dimed-to-death" on every inconsequential typographical error.
But please let me know if I make any significant errors, typographical or otherwise.
And so we move on.
One of the reasons I love to blog: had I not blogged about the Bakken, I never would have paid attention to this. I must have first learned about it ten years ago; I forget. But here we go again. Another "summer story" in which Saudi Arabia uses record amounts of crude oil to produce electricity for air conditioning. From Bloomberg:
As the Middle East enters the hottest days of summer, Saudi Arabia is set to burn potentially record amounts of crude oil to run its power plants and keep its citizens comfortably air-conditioned.
Electricity consumption always soars around July and August, when temperatures in the kingdom can rise above 122 degrees Fahrenheit. That compels the government to use crude or fuel oil in addition to the much cleaner natural gas that normally fires the plants.
But this year the urge to drain oil is even stronger because of higher demand, with the coronavirus pandemic forcing many Saudis to cancel their summer holidays abroad.
Another difference is that record cuts to Saudi Arabia's oil production since April -- part of a push by OPEC members to prop up prices in the face of the virus -- have reduced its supplies of gas, most of which come from the same wells as crude.
The extra oil going toward power may limit the price impact of OPEC's plan to taper output restrictions from next month. The kingdom pumped 7.5 million barrels a day in June, the fewest since 2002, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Of those, it exported 5.7 million barrels daily, while keeping most of the rest for domestic refineries.
"They can simply import more gas or burn more crude in power generation," said Carole Nakhle, chief executive officer of London-based consulting firm Crystol Energy.
"The second option is more likely and easier since the region has been doing this for years and decades and there is plenty of oil around today."
Each August, Saudi Arabia uses 726,000 barrels of crude daily for power generation, according to average numbers over the past decade from the Riyadh-based Joint Organisations Data Initiative, which collates statistics among energy producers.
That's more than double the amount for the cooler months of January and February. The record came in July 2014, when the Saudis burned 899,000 barrels a day.

Whiting With Two New Permits: MRO Reports Two Huge DUCs -- July 21, 2020
EU stimulus package: close, but no cigar. $572 billion. Won't be nearly enough. "Green" focused. Really, really bad news. For the EU. LOL.
WTI: up 2.82%; up over a buck; trading at $41.96 and, then, a speed bump -- large, and again (how many times have we heard this?), an unexpected crude oil build. The API consensus, predicted an inventory draw of almost 2 million bbls. In fact a whopping increase in crude oil inventories: 7.5 million bbls. If they were basing their estimate on the declining number of rigs, it sort of expalins how they missed the number.

Looks Like Russia Can't Make It On $40-Oil, Either -- July 21, 2020
Link here. Russia, hit by coronavirus crisis, considers military spending cuts -- Reuters.
The Russian finance ministry has proposed the government cut state spending on the military by 5% between 2021 and 2023. The proposal, published on Monday, also includes budget spending cuts of 10% for the court system, the servicing of Russia's debt and wages for civil servants.
Russia, which flexed its military muscle with its 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and intervention in the Syrian conflict, dropped out of the list of the top five biggest military spenders in 2018 after its spending fell 3.5%.
Dropped out of the top five?
US, China .....
The Moscow Times said Russia returned to the "top 5" in 2019 after "briefly" falling tinto sixth place the previous year. If accurate, the top five for 2019, global share in parentheses:
the US (38%)
China (14%)
India (3.7%)
Russia (3.4%)
Saudi Arabia (3.2%)
Knowing the US spent $732 billion in 2019, one can work backwards from that.
Or knowing that global military spending totaled $1.917 trillion in 2019 -- about what the market cap of Apple, Inc, is forecast to hit within the next year or so.
Russia: 4% of $2 trillion: $80 billion.
Market cap of EOG: $30 billion.
Second Bakken Pipeline Ordered To Shut Down -- WorldOil -- July 21, 2020
July 25, 2020: something tells me there is more to this story than meets the eye.
Link here. Remember the DAPL? There's another one:
On July 2, a lesser-known conduit called Tesoro High Plains was ordered shut for the first time in its 67 years of operation. Together, the two pipelines ship more than one-third of crude from America's prolific Bakken shale formation to market. Their travails signal the ebbing of the oil industry's sway in the U.S. heartland and underscore the growing heft and savvy of challengers who've become emboldened to demand higher compensation and safeguards.
In the case of High Plains, which delivers oil to Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s 74,000 barrel-a-day Mandan refinery, the U.S. Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs ordered it shut after determining the pipeline was trespassing on Native American land. The ruling also found the company responsible for $187 million in damages and gave it 30 days to appeal.
Somewhere Warren Buffett is smiling.
The Tesoro High Plains Pipeline has a capacity of 250 million bopd. Link from the Sidney Herald, October 1, 2016. Archived.
Tesoro has more than 1,000 miles of crude oil gathering and trunklines in the Bakken. Its High Plains Pipeline has a capacity of 250 million barrels per day, and it's Bakken Area Storage Hub can hold more than 1 million barrels of oil. (sic)
Screenshot from the Sidney Herald ("We're gonna need a larger storage hub." LOL):
See first comment: 250 million bopd is a huge mistake by the reporter and the editor, and a huge miss by me (I will have to talk to Sophia about this). This source suggests the capacity is 90,000 bopd after it was expanded in 2015: https://www.gem.wiki/High_Plains_Crude_Oil_Pipeline.

The Science Is Settled: Science No Longer Matters -- July 21, 2020
From the CDC:
"We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility (Figure 2).
However, as with hand hygiene, face masks might be able to reduce the transmission of other infections and therefore have value in an influenza pandemic when healthcare resources are stretched."

Notes From All Over -- They Must Be Reading The Blog -- $40 Oil Is Not Enough For Saudi Arabia -- July 21, 2020
Wow, how long have we been saying this: $40 oil is not enough for Saudi Arabia. Now, from an oilprice contributor, we have this, although it's not much of a story:
Despite the relaxation of OPEC+ cuts, crude continued to trade within the $40-43 range. Yet, Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, had highlighted that although OPEC itself does not have a price target, current prices are not sustainable for the industry, leading to potential insecurity of supply in the long term.
CMarkits' latest forecast sees an average price of $43 for Brent in July that may rise to $50 by December if demand continues to smoothly recover. Morgan Stanley had also raised its forecast for Brent by $5 to $40 in Q3, something we had predicted at the beginning of Q2.
"Insecurity of supply": code for "we'll do what it takes to drive oil prices up."
Saudi air conditioning: more than ever. I think we've talked about this each summer for the past ten years. Saudis stuck home for summer burn more oil for air conditioners -- Bloomberg, paywall, but the headline says it all.
OPEC basket: down slightly at $43.03.
WTI: up 3.14%; up $1.28; trading at $42.09.
NFL: no pre-season games. Season starts September 10, 2020 -- with or without fans.
Market Midday
Headlines, that's all:
Coca-Cola predicts recovery after "most challenging" quarter.
Philip Morris shares rise after earnings and sales beat expectations. No work? More time to smoke, apparently. I don't know.
Apple iPhone SE boosts 2Q20, but unlikely to cannibalize 5G sales -- report.
Reason for AAPL's pullback today: ZeroHedge. It's all relative.
More On The Chevron - Noble Energy Deal -- Rigzone; WTI With Nice Jump -- July 21, 2020
CVX-Noble Energy: This may be the best analysis yet of this deal. It's a huge deal. Link here at Rigzone.
According to Chevron, the acquisition will add approximately 18 percent to its year-end 2019 proved oil and gas reserves at an average acquisition cost of less than $5 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) and nearly 7 billion barrels of risked resources for less than $1.50 per boe.
The figures are based on Noble's proved reserves at the end of 2019.
Chevron stated the deal boosts its U.S. onshore portfolio with assets in the DJ and Permian basins. The company pointed out the 92,000 acres in the Permian are "largely contiguous and adjacent" to its existing assets.
Moreover, it noted the agreement includes an integrated midstream business and established position in the Eagle Ford. Outside the U.S., Chevron will gain a large-scale, producing presence in the Eastern Mediterranean in Israel as well as West Africa assets in Equatorial Guinea.
One well coming off the confidential list -- Tuesday, July 21, 2020: 51 for the month; 51 for the quarter, 497 for the year:
37268, loc/NC, CLR, Kate 15-19HSL, Big Gulch, no production data,
RBN Energy: Permian well shut-ins wind down but natural declines extend oil, gas downturn.
Associated natural gas production out of the Permian Basin rebounded sharply a few weeks ago, indicating production curtailments that went into effect in May in response to low crude oil prices are coming back online. Just as abruptly as gas production dived in early May, it lurched upward in late June, nearly back to where it was before the shut-ins began. But the rig count has continued falling to a record low, and indications are that many of the wells drilled over the past few weeks have not been completed. The meager drilling and completion activity suggests that the natural declines of existing wells, which were temporarily exaggerated by the shut-ins, will now be felt — and felt for as long as rig counts remain depressed — not just in the Permian but also in other oil-focused basins. Daily gas production volumes in the Permian in the past 10 days or so already are slipping, despite shut-ins tapering. Today, we examine the latest production trends in the Permian and what it will mean for the gas production outlook.

Kepler spacecraft discovers smallest "habitable zone" planets to date
Posted April 18th, 2013
The LASP-operated Kepler mission has added five new exoplanets to its growing collection of discoveries, including the mission's smallest habitable zone planet, Kepler-62f, depicted here. (Artist's concept courtesy NASA Ames/JPL-Caltech)
The LASP-operated NASA Kepler spacecraft has discovered two planetary systems that include three super-Earth-sized planets in the "habitable zone," where the surface temperature of a planet may sustain liquid water.
The first system, Kepler-62, has five planets: 62b, 62c, 62d, 62e, and 62f. The super-Earth-size planets are Kepler-62e and 62f, which orbit a star smaller and cooler than the Sun. Kepler-62f is just 40 percent larger than our home planet; it is the exoplanet closest to the size of Earth discovered in the habitable zone of another star.
The second system, Kepler-69, has two planets: 69b and 69c. Kepler-69c is the super-Earth-sized planet in this system. The planet is 70 percent larger than Earth and orbits a sun-like star in 242 days—an orbit similar to that of Venus.
Scientists do not know whether life could exist on the newly discovered planets, but the finding indicates that Kepler continues to move us closer to finding an Earth-like planet orbiting a sun-like star.
LASP manages Kepler Mission Operations from our CU-Boulder facilities, and trains students to operate the spacecraft under the guidance of LASP professionals. For more information about the LASP Mission Operations & Data Systems group, please visit http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/mission-ops-data.

European Parliament supported Standard VAT Return initiative
26 February 2014 European Parliament supported a new standard VAT return proposed by EU Commission. The aim of this initiative is to ease tax compliance and make tax administrations across the Union more efficient as a commitment to the Commission's Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT).
The initiative foresees a uniform set of requirements for businesses when filing their VAT returns, regardless of the Member State in which they do it. It is expected that the standard VAT return will replace national VAT regulations from 01 January 2017.
The standard VAT return declaration will have only 5 compulsory boxes for taxpayers to fill in.
Member States are given flexibility to request a number of additional standardised elements, but not more than 21.
Compare to the current situation, whereby some Member States require up to 100 information boxes to be completed.
Businesses will file the standard VAT return on a monthly basis, while micro-enterprises (with year turnover less than 2 million euro) will only be obliged to do it on a quarterly basis.
The obligation to submit a recapitulative yearly VAT return, which some Member States currently

Heads / Sides
Heads Right and Left Thru
Head Ladies Chain
Sides Wheel Around
Sides Trade
Original Heads
Those In The Head Position
Description: From a Squared Set, at the start of the tip, the Heads are the two opposing couples who are facing toward or away from the caller. The Sides are the two opposing couples who are standing perpendicular to the caller.
Dancers retain their Head or Side identity established when they first squared up. That is, "Heads" means "Original Heads". Examples include Heads Run, Heads Trade, Sides Pass Thru, Sides Fold.
In a squared set, when the original Sides are standing in the Heads position, the caller must explicitly designate "Original Heads" or "Those In The Head Position" because simply saying "Heads" could mean either of these. Similarly for "Sides".
In a squared set, when a mixture of Heads and Sides occupies the Heads position, the caller should explicitly designate "Head Man And The Girl With You" or "Those In The Head Position" because simply saying "Heads" could mean either of these. Similarly for "Sides".
When a Head Man is promenading with a Side Woman, the term "Heads" means "Head Boy And The Girl With You" (e.g., Heads Wheel Around). Similarly for "Sides".
The figure portion of singing calls almost always causes each woman to progress to a new man. Once this has happened, she temporarily takes on the Head/Side identity and home position of that man.
Some areas "rotate" or "stir the bucket" (i.e., rotate the square 90 degrees to the right so everyone has a new home position) before the singing call. This can be done by the caller as part of his last patter sequence, or by the dancers before the singing calls starts. Either way, the dancers reestablish new Heads and Sides for the singing call.

Chapter 728: Busy, getting lower and lower (2)
承九
But seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi was "not afraid of life and death" and "going alone" to the enemy camp, and found out important information, the leader of the black armor guards changed his opinion of Xuanyuan Zhi and was willing to respect him.
The leader of the black armored guard asked humbly, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with what this subordinate said?"
He didn't expect the leader of the black armored guard to ask his opinion. Xuanyuan Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, you are right, the Jinwuwei does have a lot of room for growth."
If Xuanyuan Zhi know what the leader of the black armored guard thought about him, he would vomit three liters of blood.
What does he mean about "not afraid of life and death" and "going alone"?
He didn't have the time to think about whether it was good or not, he was completely… mistaken.
"His Royal Highness, what should we do to Jinwuwei?" The leader of the black armored guards respected Xuanyuan Zhi and was happy to give him face.
The eldest prince was at his peak this time. Some things were reported by him. If they skip Xuanyuan Zhi and report directly to the emperor, then they get will merit, and the eldest prince will pa.s.s the test.
Xuanyuan Zhi thought about it for a while and then understood, "After returning, this prince will report this matter to the emperor. If possible, it is best to send someone to watch them and not let them jump out of the central empire's control." Xuanyuan Zhi was not a fool. How could he not see the intention of the leader of black-armored guards to the Jinwuwei Army?
"I will sort out the news of Jinwuwei." Soldiers respect the strong and the brave. Xuanyuan Zhi was kidnapped by Xiao Tianyao. Although his weak side was exposed, the fact that Xuanyuan Zhi was able to come back from Xiao Tianyao's hands intact also proved that Xuanyuan Zhi was not weak. At least he had certain skills.
Not to mention, Xuanyuan Zhi also "wittily" walked into the army on the grounds of observing the punishment and observing the performance of Jinwuwei at ordinary times. This was very beneficial for them to collect information about Jinwuwei.
*Cough*… …Again, if Xuanyuan Zhi knew what the leader of the black armored guards think about him, he would have been shocked and coughed blood.
This is a complete misunderstanding, isn't it?
It's better to get things done before the Imperial Inspector arrives than to fix it after discovering the problem.
Xuanyuan Zhi was injured, and he spent most of his energy with Xiao Tianyao for a long time before. After a few words with the leader, he felt exhausted, but before leaving, he didn't forget to remind him: "This prince remember you said that s.h.i.+ Yihan came to me. I'm fine now, you remember to send him a message."
Xuanyuan Zhi was still very grateful to s.h.i.+ Yihan for going here and there for him. Although that guy s.h.i.+ Yihan did something bad and almost killed him, he still decided not to care about s.h.i.+ Yihan generously.
After all, s.h.i.+ Yihan's original intention was good, and that was enough.
Huhuhu… … Since he was abused by Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao, his requirements for people have become lower and lower… …

Hello my friends, It's been a few weeks since I've been back from Maison&Objet 2017, a fascinating, truly inspiring interior design show, which is held twice in a year at one of the outskirts in Paris. Two days were not enough to see everything in details, but I have set my priorities and visited stands that I wanted to and that inspired me the most.
So, what do you think interior trends for 2018 will be like?
This year Maison&Objet's main topic was "Silence". To explain this shortly, we live in a world where our attention is distracted by various media – images, radio, video, internet. We live in the cities that are being polluted, noisy, and all we want is to have some silence. Because "silence is the new philosopher's stone; disconnection is synonymous with liberation and silence is the new and luxurious material that is a source of creativity, respiration and harmony".
There is always the need to rediscover calmness. People tend to leave cities and start new a life closer to the nature, building natural homes, growing their own fruits and vegetables and enjoying the nature has to offer.
So how did the "Silence" look like at this interior design show?
I entered a cube full of noisy TVs that were showing different channels of information. We were literally bombarded by disorganised sounds and images. Then, I entered a tunnel graded from black to white which symbolises the passage towards serenity and silence. Another room I entered was completely covered with an insulation acoustic material. A good advertisement how to have a noise free home.
"Silence is not the absence of something, but the presence of everything".- Gordon Hampton.
Ok, I'll start from the beginning. At the fair's entrance, Pols Potten, one of my favourite design names, welcomed us with a spectacular and colourful presentation of furniture and accessories. Their stand was really interesting – lots of colourful palm trees in terracotta pots have been planted. And did you know that Pols Potten started their history by selling pots from Spain and people loved them 30 years ago?
Pols Potten celebrates 30 years of great design!
As you can imagine, lots of stands were present. Lots of styles, textures, trends.
But still, I remarked that some were more present than the other ones. Guess, what we will see this year?
Leather is very popular amongst interior objects in 2018. Sofas, lounge chairs, armchairs, bar stools, my favourite butterfly chairs, everything is in leather. I love this style. It gives interiors industrial charm, which is very trendy this year.
Take a look at all these interior objects that were present at the show.
Black is the new Black! And I love it! I love black and all the dark colors. It's so classy not only in a fashionwear, but as well as in interiors. I could observe the tendency of mixing soft rose (quartz rose was Pantone 2016 colour) or the new colour of the year greenery with black. And the result is stunning, obviously:) Possibilities of mixing black with any other colour are endless and the effect is always as good as it should be.
I was so amazed when I saw everything I love so much in one place. Beni ourain rugs are made of 100% sheep wool in Morocco by berber women. These natural rugs adds so much warmth to the interior. As you can see, lots of design brands used Beni Ourain rugs to style their showrooms.

Three units at Widnes power station poised to close with jobs under threat
SSE said units at Fiddler's Ferry Power Station are 'likely' to close in April
Fiddler's Ferry Power Station near Widnes.
Get the latest news from Runcorn & Widnes straight to your inbox
A LARGE part of a power station near Widnes could close at the start of April with jobs under threat.
Fiddler's Ferry Power Station's owner SSE is consulting with employees and stakeholders on a proposal to end commercial operations at three of the plant's four units.
Though the energy firm said a final decision is yet to be taken, a spokesman said that its 'expectation' is that three of the units are 'likely' to close by Friday, April 1.
The firm said it will 'actively seek to avoid but cannot rule out' compulsory redundancies at the plant – which employs 213 people – if new roles are not identified.
Employees and stakeholders, including politicians, will be consulted and the company expects the process to be completed by around the end of March.
The ageing coal fired station has been incurring 'substantial losses' in recent years, an SSE spokesman said, which is expected to continue through to 2020.
SSE managing director Paul Smith said Fiddler's Ferry power station had made a big contribution to the UK's energy supplies for more than 45 years, but the economic realities of running the ageing plant at a loss could no longer be ignored.
He said: "We are fully aware of the impact this will have on our colleagues, their families, and the community and our priority is to support staff during the consultation process.
"The reality is the station is ageing, its method of generating electricity is being rendered out of date and it has been and is expected to continue to be loss-making in the years ahead.
"Sustaining for too long loss-making power stations would undermine SSE's ability to invest in modern generation plant in the UK."
In November, the
Weekly News reported that the power station's future was potentially in doubt after plans were announced by energy and climate change secretary Amber Rudd to close the UK's coal-fired power stations by 2025 and restrict their usage by 2023.
The UK has committed to ending coal-fired electricity generation by 2025 at the latest as it moves to cleaner forms of generation to meet climate change targets.
The site's fourth unit will not be affected by the proposed closures as it has a contract to provide services to the electricity system for the winter of 2016-17.
The energy firm is discussing future employment options with staff including decommissioning work in a bid to avoid potential redundancies.
The power station failed to secure a contract for electricity provision in 2019-20 in December's Capacity Market Auction.
Despite three of the four units having a contract for 2018-19, the firm said that the 'economic outlook' in the electricity generation market has 'changed substantially' since it was awarded and that SSE is projected to 'incur unsustainable losses' despite the deal.
Mr Smith added: "The fact it makes more sense for SSE to contemplate making a substantial payment in lieu of the capacity agreement relating to Fiddler's Ferry in 2018-19 demonstrates just how economically challenged Fiddler's Ferry has become – its losses are unsustainable.
"However our commitment to UK generation remains strong – this winter we have restored 1,135MW of gas-fired generation capacity to commercial operations and since 2008 we have invested £1bn in thermal electricity generation plant in this country and want to invest more in the future."

Sections » Development
Sweden's development lead
By Anna Chapman
Since 2006, Sweden has delivered 1% of its gross national income (GNI) as official development assistance (ODA). In 2017, Sweden was the highest contributor in percentage terms among OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) countries, outstripping the UN recommended goal of 0.7% of GNI.
Beyond humanitarian aid: Connecting the dots with development
By Cyprien Fabre, OECD Development Co-operation Directorate
Drought, floods, earthquakes, conflict, climate change: these are just some of the areas which humanitarian assistance is traditionally called on to address. Policymakers tend to consider short-term humanitarian assistance and longer-term development assistance quite separately, yet they are two sides of the same coin. As we mark the annual World Humanitarian Day on 19 August, the OECD Lives in Crisis project provides some food for thought.
Empowering women beyond Finland
From introducing equal inheritance rights in 1878, Finland continues to earn it's reputation as a global pioneer of gender equality.
Taxes for development
"Money makes the world go round." So goes the line in the musical, Cabaret. But probably not even lyricist Fred Ebb, who wrote those famous words, knew how true it is that we need money to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to keep the world, or rather, the planet, going round and round.

Accelerating the knowledge-led development of Africa through science driven policy and investments is important for boosting long-term growth and well-being.

Africa: A continent of opportunity
By Angel Gurría
I am delighted to open the 18th International Economic Forum on Africa. What we will be focusing on is precisely how we can design the policies which will lead to inclusion and ensure that everyone–families, farmers and businesses–reaps the benefits of Africa's integration.
Small islands, big threats
Last year, actor Sean Penn called on world leaders to help Haiti deal with the "looming existential threat" of climate change.
What hope for peace in Mali?
By Julia Wanjiru, Sahel and West Africa Club Secretariat (SWAC/OECD)
"I want to reconcile hearts and minds…so that all the different people can play their part harmoniously in the national symphony." So said Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta on being elected president of Mali in 2013, against a backdrop of violence and crisis. Now, five years later, with instability still an issue, can the recently re-elected President Keïta bring about the changes needed for a lasting peace?
Beyond Bangladesh, OECD countries must act to save lives in the garment industry
By Christy Hoffman, General Secretary, UNI Global Union, and Jenny Holdcroft, Assistant General Secretary, IndustriAll Global Union
On 24 April 2013, the world woke up to the reality of garment factory conditions in Bangladesh when more than a thousand workers were killed and over two thousand injured after the Rana Plaza garment factory complex, supplying western brands, collapsed.
Abolish modern slavery!
By Gabriela Ramos, OECD Chief of Staff and G20 Sherpa
There are 45.8 million slaves in the world today according to the 2016 Global Slavery Index, nearly four times the total number of Africans sold in the Americas during the four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade.

Geography matters: a territorial approach to food and nutrition security
By Jennifer Sheahan, OECD Sahel and West Africa Club
Every year, millions of people in the Sahel and West Africa face hunger as levels of food and nutrition insecurity become critical. It is a familiar problem that tends to be dealt with within a top-down, national framework. Yet purely national analyses, rather than territorial and local ones, can mask pockets of poverty, hunger and malnutrition concentrated in specific geographic areas. If we look, for example, at stunting, a chronic state of undernutrition among children under the age of five, the national average in Benin is 34%.
Blending finance for climate and poverty
By Naeeda Crishna Morgado and Jens Sedemund, OECD Development Co-operation Directorate
Blended finance is not a new concept but it certainly has returned as a new buzzword.
Opening a new chapter in the infrastructure of Latin America
By Juan Pablo Bonilla, Manager of the Climate Change and Sustainable Development Sector, Inter-American Development Bank
In Latin America, as elsewhere, sustainable infrastructure plays a vital role in improving the quality of life and supporting economic growth. It determines our capacity to engage competitively in global trade and to grow our economies. In our cities, where 80% of the region's population lives, infrastructure helps reduce poverty by enhancing access to basic services and facilitating access to knowledge and employment opportunities.
Eurasia: Investing for the future
By Andreas Schaal, Director, OECD Global Relations Secretariat
After an extended period of relatively strong growth, the countries of Eurasia have recently experienced a series of powerful external economic shocks.* Lower global commodity prices, recession in Russia, moderate growth in China and subdued economic prospects in many west European economies have all hit Eurasia hard. The region's overall GDP fell in 2015 for only the second time in two decades (the first time was in 2009), and growth in 2016 was weak, according to IMF estimates, with accelerations in a few countries offset by downturns elsewhere. The recovery seems to have continued into 2017 but it is uneven and modest at best, and growth is far below the rates achieved in the 2000s.
Making Africa healthy
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from the worst health status in the world, according to the authors of Making Medicines in Africa. As policymakers turn their focus to healthcare, in part spurred on by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the authors argue that industrial development in pharmaceuticals and the capabilities it generates can play a crucial role in addressing the healthcare needs of the continent. Through a collection of case studies on industrial policies, Making Medicines in Africa shows the successes and pitfalls along the way.
Fighting poverty means fighting sexism
By Michael Elliott
Nowhere in the world do women have as many opportunities as men, whether those opportunities are economic, social or political. If we're going to make our commitments under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) count, we have to start here.
A more violent world?
If you have had the impression that there is more violence in the world nowadays, you may not be wrong. According to States of Fragility 2016: Understanding Violence, the world has been becoming more violent for a decade; indeed, according to the Uppsala University Conflict Data Program, 2014 and 2015 marked the second and third worst years in terms of fatalities since the Cold War ended a quarter of a century ago. As 22% of the global population currently live in fragile contexts and their proportion is anticipated to rise to 32% by 2050, the links between fragility and violence are becoming increasingly clear.
Can Malaysia become a high-income country by 2020?
By Vincent Koen, Mohamed Rizwan Habeeb Rahuman
If you are scanning today's uncertain global economy for stories of encouragement, then look no further than Malaysia. For just as the famous Petronas Towers shine above its capital, Kuala Lumpur, this diverse, federal Southeast Asian country of over 31 million people stands out for its resilient and robust economic performance. Can the country keep up this promising performance and achieve its ambitious goals?
Why technology matters for advancing women's financial inclusion
By Beth Porter and Nancy Widjaja, UNCDF, and Keiko Nowacka, the OECD Development Centre
Women are consumers, business owners, farmers, employees and entrepreneurs. They are dependent on market systems and need access to finance to manage their livelihoods.
Women for peace
By Haifa Fahoum Al Kaylani and Ibrahim Gambari
UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which was adopted in 2000, recognised, for the first time, the vital contribution of women to conflict prevention and resolution.
Tapping Latin America's young potential
After years of strong performance, Latin America's economies are facing a dimmer outlook. The region's GDP growth will be negative for the second consecutive year in 2016, shrinking by between 0.9% and 1% in 2016, a contraction which has not been seen since the early 1980s. This slowdown has stalled the reduction of inequalities and the expansion of the middle class, with 25 to 30 million vulnerable Latin Americans at risk of falling back into poverty in the near future.
Africa: Towards comprehensive revenue data
By Michelle Harding and Emmanuelle Modica, OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, and Sébastien Markley and Henri-Bernard Solignac-Lecomte, OECD Development Centre
The African Union has made harmonising economic statistics across Africa a key objective of Agenda 2063, which is its 50-year pan-African economic development strategy. Better data is also relevant to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, of which goal 17 aims to improve domestic tax revenues and collection to strengthen resources.
Lessons in rural development
By Carl Dahlman and Vicente Ruiz, OECD Development Centre, and Randall Jones, OECD Economics Department
Cities are in fashion nowadays among policy-makers as countries everywhere look to urban areas as hubs for innovation and growth. But what about the countryside? Economic development led by continuous rural-to-urban migration and rising living standards and opportunities in the urban milieu, not to mention industrialisation, contributes to widening disparities between rural and urban areas. Korea's development experience shows that socially-inclusive and sustainable growth requires developing rural areas as an integral part of successful economic development. Indeed, Korea's rapid rise from a mainly agricultural and food-aid recipient nation to one of the fastest-growing, developed OECD economies was made possible by a structural transformation that involved urban and rural areas alike.

Thai Royal Barge Processional History
Timeline of the Royal Water Processions in Thailand

The history of the Thai Royal Barge Processional dates back over 700 years. Here is a brief timeline of the Royal Water Processions in Thailand. Click here for The Ultimate Guide for Viewing the Thai Royal Barge Processional.
700 years ago: Kingdom of Sukhothai
Nicolas Eynaud - Own work; based on David K. Wyatt (2004), Thailand: A Short History, 2nd ed. Silkworm Books, Chiang Mai, p. 32 and Cornell Southeast Asia Program map 13th century Thailand. Creative Commons.
The history of the Royal Barge Processional dates back over 700 years to the Sukhothai period in Thai history (1238-1438.) At that time, royal barges took part in ceremonies, including lantern processionals, on rivers in the Kingdom of Sukhothai.
300 years ago: the Ayutthayan Era and Royal Water Processions

The barges, sailing in formation were used in battle as well as in religious ceremonies during the Ayutthayan era (1350 – 1767.) One of the oldest patterns of boat formation, the Phet Puang, dates back to this ancient time and is still used today.
The formations also were used to welcome and impress foreign dignitaries. When Louis XIV sent his ambassador, Chevalier de Chaumont, to Ayutthaya in 1685, a Royal Barge Processional welcomed him in a show of the Kingdom's strength and power.
>250 years ago: Capital City and Royal Barges burn

In 1767, over 200 royal barges were wiped out when Burma, now Myanmar, captured and burned the capital city of Ayutthaya. That battle ended the 400-year reign of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.
>230 years ago: Center of Power moves to Bangkok - Rama I rebuilds fleet
During the Bangkok Period (1782-present) Rama I, the first king of the dynasty, wants to rebuild the fleet in order to float the Royal Water Processions once again. By then, the center of power had moved from Ayutthaya to the Bangkok area on the Chao Phraya River.
75 years ago: Royal Barges Bombed in WWII

In World War II, the Thai Royal Barge Processional boats – stored in the Thonburi train station – were destroyed again. The railroad was used by the Japanese to supply their armies in Burma. Some of the Thai ships survived, including the oldest surviving boat built 150 years ago during the reign of Rama IV. The Royal Water Processions did not resume until 1957.

SMS reminders study shows 43% reduction in parole no-shows for US probation officers
Customer stories	2 min read
Marquis Software is a leading provider of Offender Management Systems.
For over 38 years, they have pioneered the enterprise-wide automation of corrections software with their electronic Offender Management Information System (eOMIS®). The eOMIS® system offers unsurpassed solutions for Inmate Management, Electronic Health Records and Community Supervision.
Marquis Software is the largest provider of Offender Management Software in the world and has been implemented in eight state Department of Corrections and over 16 county jails.
Dr. Stephen Payne, Director of Research and Development, explains how Marquis has become the industry leader, "We are committed to quality improvement, advanced research, and innovative use of the latest technology. One example of this is our InTouch Suite of mobile applications, which extends the power of the eOMIS® system to staff and parolees via smartphones and tablets. Another example is the research we sponsor on the effectiveness of our newest technology, such as text message reminders to reduce office visit no-shows."
Are no-shows costly to your business?
Reduce missed appointments by adding SMS reminders today.
Managing parolees' appointments is one of the key capabilities of the eOMIS® system.
Many of these appointments are critically important to ensure that past offenders continue on their path to remain addiction- or crime-free. Missing even one appointment can have a serious impact on an offender's ability to retain their freedom.
One customer using Marquis eOMIS® platform – the Arkansas Community Corrections Agency – was experiencing a 20% rate of cancelled and no-show appointments with probation/parole officers. This was a colossal waste of time and effort for officers who were overburdened with caseloads, in addition to the serious consequences imposed on parolees for missing their office visits.
The research and development team at Marquis believed that using text messaging to deliver appointment reminders would be fast, effective and inexpensive to implement, and could help reduce the number of appointment no-shows.
As they began to research text messaging solutions, Marquis knew they wanted to work with an organization they could trust, as the information they were sending was sensitive, timely and critically important.
They needed a robust API and a dependable tech support team with whom they could consult during each phase of development, testing, and production implementation.
Dr Payne notes, "After researching a few vendors, the decision to partner with MessageMedia was easy. The product was quickly integrated into our platform and it allows us to store a complete thread of all text-based communications in our database. Best of all, MessageMedia's implementation and support team is responsive and invaluable. We could not have made a better choice, and we are planning to extend our use of text messaging to many more use cases across our platform.'
One of the first customers to begin using MessageMedia's integrated text messaging system was the statewide parole system in Arkansas. The parole officers now have a tightly integrated text messaging capability where they can send ad-hoc messages to individuals or mass messages to a group of parolees.
Incorporating MessageMedia's texting capabilities with our software has provided leading-edge functionality for both staff and clients in Arkansas.
Brian Strauch, Project Manager for Arkansas Department of Corrections, Marquis Software Development, Inc.
They can build queries within their database to send a targeted message to a specific group. Parole officers set up appointments using the eOMIS® system, and an automated batch job automatically sends out text notifications via the MessageMedia integration to remind parolees of their upcoming appointments, and requests a response to confirm the appointment.
Immediately after implementing the system, the Arkansas Community Corrections Agency saw a significant drop in missed appointments. They then experimented with additional use cases, such as sending text messages for fee payments reminders, dual-authentication verification codes, and links for installing the Intouch smartphone app.
Brian Strauch, the Marquis Project Manager for Arkansas Department of Corrections, described an even more interesting use case, "In 2019, the state of Arkansas experienced significant flooding in areas. They needed volunteers to help with sandbagging, so they queried the eOMIS® database to identify parolees living near the flooded areas. They then texted these individuals about their volunteer needs. The response for assistance was immediate, and they were able to recruit numerous volunteers to help with sandbagging efforts in the affected areas.
While text messaging was being implemented, Marquis and the Arkansas Department of Corrections decided they wanted to assess the impact of using SMS for appointment reminders, and to determine the most effective timing and frequency for sending these text messages. They wanted to understand when they should send texts, and how often.
Dr. Charise Hastings, Principal Researcher for Marquis, contacted criminal justice researchers from Drexel University and Rutgers University to design a randomized controlled trial to answer these questions, and to evaluate the results.
The trial ran for six and a half months, with a total of 4000 participants forming three treatment groups and one control group. Some received a text message the day before the appointment; some, two days before the appointment; and some received text messages four days and one day before the appointment.
Examples of text messages
The texting feature of eOMIS® has been a game-changer.
Nicholas Stewart, Shared Services, Human Resources and Training Administrator, Arkansas Department of Corrections
According to Arkansas Department of Corrections Human Resources and Training Administrator Nicholas Stewart, " [Texting is] assisting our agency to operate with evidence-based practices. We have "blasted" messages to offenders for job fairs, office closures,  good job kudos, and financial obligation reminders. I've seen an offender's eyes light up with joy when they got a kudos text. We no longer have to purchase appointment slips, which saves money. Texting allows the offender to be held much more accountable for meeting appointments and financial obligations."
While the full report is available via this link, here is a summary of some of the conclusions.
Frequency: The study determined that sending one text message the day before the appointment was the most efficacious option. For the cost of one text message, there were 43% fewer no-shows, compared to the control group that received no text message notification.
Appointments Held: The rate of appointments held was higher for all groups that received text message notifications, no matter when it was sent.
Conclusion: Considering the low cost of providing these reminders, the researchers concluded it would be prudent to send text message appointment/confirmation reminders to everyone under community supervision as a matter of standard agency policy.
After ACC implemented text messaging statewide, results across the board were consistent with the results from the trial. The return on investment has proven significant, with both short- and long-term savings that include reduced officer time wasted, and fewer parolee violations.
Texting is beneficial because of its convenience. It allows officers to choose different types of messages to send. It's the most effective way to reschedule appointments because it assures officers that messages are delivered.
Detonda Woolfolk, Probation and Parole Officer, Arkansas Division of Community Correction
Future use cases
According to Dr Payne, "The Marquis team made the right choice in selecting MessageMedia as a partner. The API is well-documented and easy to use. Its tremendous flexibility has allowed us to implement every idea we've had. For instance, we used the callback feature to create real-time text message threads, similar to email conversation threads. In addition, whenever we've had a question, the tech support team has responded quickly with helpful and clear answers. "
Marquis is exploring additional ways to integrate text messaging with their suite of mobile applications. One app is designed to help parolees succeed by providing relevant information about their conditions of supervision. As parolees interact with the app, text messages will be triggered to remind them of their appointments, goals, and tasks at opportune times throughout the week.

Q: Kill a loop with Button Jupyter Notebook? I want to:

*

*Read from serial port (infinite loop)

*when "STOP" button pressed --> Stop reading and plot data

From How to kill a while loop with a keystroke?  I have taken the example to interrupt using Keyboard Interrupt, This works, but i would like to use a button.
EXAMPLE WITH KEYBOARD INTERRUPT
weights = []
times = []
#open port
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600)
try:
   while True: # read infinite loop
       #DO STUFF
       line = ser.readline()   # read a byte string
       if line:
           weight_ = float(line.decode())  # convert the byte string to a unicode string
           time_ = time.time()
           weights.append(weight_)
           times.append(time_)
           print (weight_)
#STOP it by keyboard interup and continue with program
except KeyboardInterrupt:
   pass
#Continue with plotting

However I would like to do it with a displayed button (easier for people to use).
I have tried making a button (in Jupiter Notebook) that when pressed break_cicle=False, but the loop doesn't break when button pressed:
 #make a button for stopping the while loop
button = widgets.Button(description="STOP!") #STOP WHEN THIS BUTTON IS PRESSED
output = widgets.Output()
display(button, output)
break_cicle=True

def on_button_clicked(b):
    with output:
        break_cicle = False # Change break_cicle to False
        print(break_cicle)

ser.close()
button.on_click(on_button_clicked)
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600)
try:
    while break_cicle:

        print (break_cicle)
        line = ser.readline()   # read a byte string
        if line:
            weight_ = float(line.decode())  # convert the byte string to a unicode string
            time_ = time.time()
            weights.append(weight_)
            times.append(time_)
            print (weight_)
except :
    pass

ser.close()

EXAMPLE WITH GLOBAL NOT WORKING
from IPython.display import display
import ipywidgets as widgets

button = widgets.Button(description="STOP!") #STOP WHEN THIS BUTTON IS PRESSED
output = widgets.Output()
display(button, output)
break_cicle=True

def on_button_clicked():
    global break_cicle #added global
    with output:

        break_cicle = False # Change break_cicle to False
        print ("Button pressed inside break_cicle", break_cicle)

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)
try:
    while break_cicle:
        print ("While loop break_cicle:", break_cicle)
        time.sleep(1)
except :
    pass
print ("done")

Despite me pressing the button a few times,from the following image you can see that it never prints "Button pressed inside break_cicle".

A: I think problem is like in all Python scripts with long-running code - it runs all code in one thread and when it runs while True loop (long-running code) then it can't run other functions at the same time.
You may have to run your function in separated thread - and then main thread can execute on_button_clicked
This version works for me:
from IPython.display import display
import ipywidgets as widgets
import time
import threading

button = widgets.Button(description="STOP!")
output = widgets.Output()

display(button, output)

break_cicle = True

def on_button_clicked(event):
    global break_cicle

    break_cicle = False

    print("Button pressed: break_cicle:", break_cicle)

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)

def function():
    while break_cicle:
        print("While loop: break_cicle:", break_cicle)
        time.sleep(1)
    print("Done")

threading.Thread(target=function).start()

Maybe Jupyter has some other method for this problem - ie. when you write functions with async then you can use asyncio.sleep() which lets Python to run other function when this function is sleeping.

EDIT:
Digging in internet (using Google) I found post on Jyputer forum
Interactive widgets while executing long-running cell - JupyterLab - Jupyter Community Forum
and there is link to module jupyter-ui-poll which shows similar example (while-loop + Button) and it uses events for this. When function pull() is executed (in every loop) then Jupyter can send events to widgets and it has time to execute on_click().
import time
from ipywidgets import Button
from jupyter_ui_poll import ui_events

# Set up simple GUI, button with on_click callback
# that sets ui_done=True and changes button text
ui_done = False
def on_click(btn):
    global ui_done
    ui_done = True
    btn.description = ''

btn = Button(description='Click Me')
btn.on_click(on_click)
display(btn)

# Wait for user to press the button
with ui_events() as poll:
    while ui_done is False:
        poll(10)          # React to UI events (upto 10 at a time)
        print('.', end='')
        time.sleep(0.1)
print('done')

In source code I can see it uses asyncio for this.

EDIT:
Version with multiprocessing
Processes don't share variables so it needs Queue to send information from one process to another.
Example sends message from button to function. If you would like to send message from function to button then better use second queue.
from IPython.display import display
import ipywidgets as widgets
import time
import multiprocessing

button = widgets.Button(description="STOP!")
output = widgets.Output()

display(button, output)

queue = multiprocessing.Queue()

def on_button_clicked(event):
    queue.put('stop')
    print("Button pressed")

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)

def function(queue):

    while True:
        print("While loop")
        time.sleep(1)

        if not queue.empty():
            msg = queue.get()
            if msg == 'stop':
                break
            #if msg == 'other text':
            #    ...other code...

    print("Done")

multiprocessing.Process(target=function, args=(queue,)).start()

or more similar to previous
def function(queue):

    break_cicle = True

    while break_cicle:
        print("While loop: break_cicle:", break_cicle)
        time.sleep(1)

        if (not queue.empty()) and (queue.get() == 'stop'):
            break_cicle = False

    print("Done")

EDIT:
Version with asyncio
Jupyter already is running asynio event loop and I add async function to this loop. And function uses await functions like asyncio.sleep so asynio event loop has time to run other functions - but if function could run only standard (not async) functions then it wouldn't work.
from IPython.display import display
import ipywidgets as widgets
import asyncio

button = widgets.Button(description="STOP!")
output = widgets.Output()

display(button, output)

break_cicle = True

def on_button_clicked(event):
    global break_cicle

    break_cicle = False

    print("Button pressed: break_cicle:", break_cicle)

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)

async def function():   # it has to be `async`
    while break_cicle:
        print("While loop: break_cicle:", break_cicle)
        await asyncio.sleep(1)   # it needs some `await` functions
    print("Done")

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
t = loop.create_task(function())  # assign to variable if you don't want to see `<Task ...>` in output

A few months ago I interviewed Courtney Sheppard from Flourish Natural Products for our Industry Interviews series – a series that focuses on chatting with the lovely people that help make our wedding industry so wonderful. I loved chatting with Courtney and I fell in love with her products! I think the bath bombs and the face masques were my favourite, but I also really liked the lip balm.
Thank you Courtney for coming to see us and we can't wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the year!
What type of business is Flourish Natural Products?
Flourish Natural Products is a local, artisanal business that specializes in all natural beauty, bath, and baby products. We cater to sensitive skin and strive to produce effective skin care solutions for those who cannot use "typical" products.
Everything is handmade in small batches using the highest quality natural ingredients possible. Our ingredients are also sourced and fairly traded so you can also feel good about what you are using. The Flourish mission is to make excellent quality artisanal products accessible to everyone by keeping prices low while educating people that they do not need expensive, fancy skincare products to have healthy, beautiful skin.
I also host creative workshops / home spa parties to educate people on how to make their own products. These are excellent for birthday parties, ladies night events, and even bachelorette parties.
Fall 2014. I was pregnant with my 3rd child and decided that it was time to take an interest in just cutting some of the "junk" from my daily skincare. I've always prepared my family's food from scratch, so why was I still using processed, chemical laden products on our skin? I just started researching natural alternatives to common body products and decided to start with soap. After being a little anxious to work with lye off the bat I then turned to body butter. After developing a couple products that I was using for my own use, my co-workers and friends started asking questions and wanting to try it out for themselves. That Christmas I started with 3 products and now, 1.5 years later, the Flourish lineup now includes close to 30 different beauty, bath, and baby products with a solid set of loyal clients and I haven't looked back!
The Flourish Beauty line offers facial serum, clay masques, pedicure products, scrubs, body butters, lip balm, and more. The beauty line uses what nature has to offer, like shea butter and other exotic butters and oils, are infused with organic botanicals and custom essential oil blends. Everything is free of parabens, phthalates, and artificial anything! Only concentrated natural ingredients that will make you take notice immediately. I take pride in making sure that every products contains only ingredients that I feel good about and that will provide real benefits to your skin.
The Flourish Bath line offers all natural bath bombs that are made with custom essential oil blends, organic botanicals, and are free of artificial fragrance and other irritants. I also carry authentic African black soap which is imported from Ghana and is certified organic and fairly traded.
The Flourish Baby line offers a solid lineup of products that can pamper mom and baby alike like talc-free body powder, diaper creams, baby wash / shampoo, and ever popular sprays like Buzz Off All Natural Bug Spray and Dream Away Sleep Spray. I also develop custom products by request!
Where do you sell products?
I started out with Flourish Natural Products at local Farmers Markets in the Halifax area as well as other artisan shows around the province but have quickly grown to now include 5 retail partners so my focus has shifted to retail.
Flourish products can be found around HRM at Bay B Boutique, Sweet Beans Boutique, Merry Go Round Boutique, Angels Essentials Spiritual Boutique, and Growth Spurts Children's Consignment Store.
This Fall I can also be found at select crafter / artisan events & showcases around the province.
I primarily deal with custom orders and my personal client base for the most part out of my home.
What are the price ranges for your products?
No, and have no interest just yet in adding staff.
Is this a full time business or side hustle?
Definitely a side hustle! There could be potential to leave my day job someday, but I am not interested in that any time soon. I am happy with my current state of affairs and business size. Learning to manage a full time career and small business has been very educating!
The stores can't keep my Buzz Off all natural bug spray on their shelves right now! It's that time of year and it's also safe for dogs and children while keeping many bugs (even ticks!) at bay while smelling lovely.
The Flourish beauty line is also really taking off. Nourish Facial Oil is a wonderful, skin loving serum and when paired with the gentle cleansing power of African Black Soap and detoxifying mud masks, ladies are jumping on the Flourish Facial bandwagon!
Always huge sellers are the aromatherapy bath salts and bombs. No artificial fragrances, made only with custom essential oil blends that are kind to women, both physically and mentally. These have also been a great idea for bridesmaid gifts and wedding favors as they can be completely customized.
Yes, I offer creative workshops as well as home shopping parties. You can get your people together and learn how to make bath bombs and even have a home spa party. I do a lot of these for birthday party ideas and bachelorette party / bridal shower ideas.
I am not a health "guru". I'm just a woman with a goal to help people live just a little more naturally, and cutting out the unnecessary whenever possible. I love what I do and trying to help people solve their skincare and sensitivity problems. I make many custom products and have helped many clients find solutions that work for them. I am an advocate of healthy, balanced living and just simply making the best choices you can for you and your family.
What can you offer the wedding industry?
I offer something a little different from the norm. I offer fun, creative ideas for bridal showers and bachelorette parties that everyone can enjoy! I love getting the girls together and teaching them how to create something useful and beneficial.
I also offer different ideas for favors and gifts. Why not gift your girls with facial sets and your men with beard oil? Bath bombs for your guests? Customized all natural lip balms? So many ideas for things that are not only easy on your wallet but useful and beneficial to those who receive them. I love working with brides to determine that perfect product or solution to help make their day even a tiny bit more special.

Il collegio elettorale di Colorno è stato un collegio elettorale uninominale del Regno di Sardegna. È uno degli dieci collegi elettorali della provincia di Parma creati dopo la temporanea caduta del ducato di Parma. Comprendeva i circondari di Colorno e San Donato.

Dati elettorali
Nel collegio si svolsero votazioni per le due prime legislature, poi gli austriaci occuparono di nuovo le provincie di Parma e Piacenza. Dopo la seconda guerra d'Indipendenza Colorno non fu più capoluogo di collegio elettorale e il territorio divenne  parte del collegio elettorale di Parma II.

I legislatura

L'elezione fu annullata il 18 ottobre 1848 poiché il ballottaggio si era svolto nello stesso giorno della prima votazione; il collegio non fu riconvocato.

II legislatura

L'elezione non ebbe luogo.

This quality commercial park bench is manufactured using the traditional method of tight fitting mortise and tenon joints along with teak dowels. The Cambridge bench is extremely thick and durable making it perfect for civic use and is delivered fully assembled and ready for use. The elegant and classical design lends this park bench to large open spaces as well as memorial purposes.
pAll of our garden benches are made from "grade A" teak which is sourced from sustainable managed plantations in Indonesia, and then manufactured in our factory with whom we have a long standing relationship. Teak is a very robust hardwood that due to its natural internal oils is highly water resistant. Over time teak will mature and go from a golden brown patina, to the regal silvery grey colour that is quite often associated with teak.
Sturdy wooden benches like the Cambridge are perfect for public gardens, museums, luxury hotels as well as sorts clubs.
If the bench is going in a public space, you may want to consider either a hard or soft surface anchor kit to ensure that your bench is safe from theft, and for those who might want to keep their garden bench covered in the winter months covers are available.


Every royal event calls for celebration there and there's always a mad fan following that gives the members of the royal family a celebrity status; of course, Prince William is the most famous of them. All this media focus has led to a few security threats to the Prince, which although not intentional, is pretty serious in nature. The threat has come in the form of an app that's just 2.99 British pounds and has raised a security issue.
The App called Flightradar 24 is capable of tracking William's air ambulance helicopter every time it takes off. For the Prince's fans this could be fun way to know whether their favorite idol is flying overhead. The 2.99-pound app can locate the chopper when it's flying at speeds of 150 miles per hour.
The security concern, however, is that this simple app can be used by terrorists to track the movements of the Prince on the job. Most air ambulance choppers fly at about 1500 feet from the ground. This means a terrorist can reach the air ambulance with lethal weapons like shoulder-fired missiles easily. Even a high-quality drone can cause some serious damage.
Even worse, it was reported that the details were even being published on a website. Such information could be worthy intelligence info for a terrorist looking for opportunities.

Venom Movie Download, Venom Movie Review, Venom Movie Trailer, Venom Movie Release Date, Venom Movie Songs, Venom Movie Cast, Venom Movie Budget, Venom Movie Collection, Venom Movie Show, One of Marvel's most mysterious, complex and rebel characters goes to the extra large screen, featuring Academy Award (R) designated performing artist Tom Hardy as the deadly defender Venom.
Venom Movie Download: Motion picture universes can be as befuddling as our genuine universe. There's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, obviously, and now the forthcoming film Venom is propelling Sony's Marvel Universe. Despite the fact that the movies will be created in relationship with Marvel, they'll be circulated by Sony Pictures and will exist in a different world than the MCU. So don't hope to see your most loved MCU stars assuming their same jobs in Sony's reality.
Discuss a Venom film returns to 2007, when Topher Grace played Eddie Brock in a little job in Spider-Man 3. This particular film's been underway in some frame or another since 2016, with Tom Hardy cast in May 2017. Recording started in October 2017, with Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) coordinating and a content by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, Kelly Marcel and Will Beall. Taping occurred in Atlanta, New York City and San Francisco.
Venom will be released Oct. 4 in Australia and Oct. 5 in the US and UK.
Star Hardy discharged another publication for the Imax variant of the film, and it has now formally been appraised PG-13 with an implied runtime of just shy of 2 hours. A few fans are concerned the absence of a hard R rating could upset the complexities of the character (yet we as a whole viewed a dull, PG-13 Batman motion picture, so who knows).
Will Woody Harrelson play Carnage? Woody Harrelson assumes an undisclosed job, however he disclosed to Collider he's not in the motion picture much. "I'm in a little division of this film, however I'll be in the following one, you know?" he said. Be that as it may, Bleeding Cool reports that Harrelson is playing Venom's most despised foe, Carnage, otherwise known as serial executioner Cletus Kasady.
Who's the reprobate in Venom?: Based on Harrelson's statement and the uncovers in the trailers, it would appear that Sony is sparing Carnage/Harrelson for a spin-off, which implies the huge baddie in Venom is Ahmed as frantic researcher Dr. Carlton Drake. Anticipate that Carnage will appear late in the procedures at that point, to set the scene for the following film.


Bethlehem was the smallest among the clans of Judah. But God chose it to raise up His Ruler--King of kings and Lord of lords [Micah 5.2]. It's curious why God chose the smallest.
God, of course, wants all nations to be discipled for Him, but He chooses the smallest and sometimes the weakest. At a time when churches go crazy about mega churches and full-packed congregations, the "smallest" is disdained and disowned. We want our churches to be the biggest; the bigger the more "blessed by God," we believe.
Yet, at a very crucial time, when God was about to do His most important move for all times, He chose the smallest in Judah. He chose the most undesirable of places--Bethlehem. Today, we can hardly grasp the wisdom and power in this. We are deceived with a "mega" orientation.
God wants all nations discipled, but this does not mean we should have big churches. In fact, God wants well distributed numbers of congregations in churches, not a mad grab for members, a contest of who's the biggest congregation. When the Passover Lamb was prepared in the old days, God wanted no family getting a bigger share than it could consume, and no family getting a smaller share than what it can finish.
If you had a small family and prepared a whole lamb your family could not consume, you were to share it with a bigger family that hadn't enough. Discipling nations for Jesus should follow the same principle so that no one disciple is either too underfed or overfed. There are church people today who are hardly properly discipled, one-on-one, because churches greedily take in more members than they can handle. It's because of the "mega" mentality.
But God wants cells or smaller groups. Cells preserve the Jesus model of discipling believers one-on-one. This empowers people, not pack them into crowds where they never grow up but just get old.
This does not mean we limit our discipleship to only a few. Far from it. We should make disciples of all nations, take in as many people to be genuine believers, but not greedily grab everyone to make your church membership the most numerous. That's what ministry most churches know today--capitalism evangelism, or imperialistic denominationalism, both reeking of worldliness.
Big churches should share their membership with smaller churches, like breaking the whole loaf and distributing pieces of it to all the disciples so each of them can partake of communion. In the same way that every Christian is well nourished in a close-in Jesus discipleship. Would any church do that today, willingly distribute their members to smaller churches? I doubt. Thus, God will destroy man's churches.
Micah says all Israel was abandoned by God until the time came when the virgin became pregnant and Jesus was born. All churches today are, in a real sense, "abandoned" by God until the church gets pregnant with the Word (as what happened to Mary) and Jesus is formed in her and reigns supreme. And this means every Christian is well discipled in the exact same way Jesus discipled His true followers.
Smaller churches or cells look weak and unexciting, but it is where God chooses Christ to be formed in believers. Though you are the smallest, out of you will be One who will become a ruler. God always have that inclination--opting for the smallest.


Thelema do not buy in any grapes and all wines are bottled on the estate to maintain absolute control over every aspect of the wine production. The terroir in combination with Gyles Webb's wine making style result in flavourful, flamboyant, complex and long-lasting wines with a distinctive South African character. In 2000, Gyles moved into the role of cellar master and handed over the winemaking duties to the talented Rudi Schultz (one of the famous Schultz winemaking brothers).


Okay, now I want to buy your product.
If you thought you were afraid of the effects of advertising before, you ain't seen nothing yet.
It's called "ExFEARiential" advertising, where a company pranks innocent victims and uses their terrified responses to sell products.
I hope they all end up in jail!
