The Inquiry into Food and Fairness by the Food Ethics Council by Elizabeth Dowler
The Inquiry into Food and Fairness by the Food Ethics Council (FEC, 2010), which, to help clarify the nature of important inequalities, adopted a social justice framework in terms of 'fair shares' (equality of outcome), 'fair play' (equality of opportunity) and 'fair say' (autonomy and voice). These conditions were applied to the three key food policy strands: food security, sustainability and public health. The Inquiry examined the symptoms and causes of food-related injustice, and attempted to analyse the complex relationships between unfairness, environmental degradation and ill-health.
It drew on a wide range of evidence submitted in response to a public call, as well as the very different perspectives of the members of the 14-strong Inquiry panel, half of whom were leading players in sectors and bodies in food and farming (the remainder were members of the FEC). The process of deliberating from very different viewpoints and having to engage with a variety of oral witnesses and written evidence was a critical feature of the Inquiry's work, and enabled the challenges posed by conflicting understandings of these different interests to be made explicit and creatively addressed. The key messages from the Inquiry, whose report by the FEC Secretariat includes recommendations for government, businesses and civil society, are set out here:
Food Justice: The Report of the Food and Fairness Inquiry
'The Food and Fairness Inquiry was motivated by the concern that policy debate around sustainable food and farming does not attach due weight to issues of social justice. In addition to … the recommendations …, the Inquiry committee … formulated a series of "key messages" that encapsulate how the debate about food policy needs to change, in order to reflect the seriousness of social justice issues, and the ways in which they relate to concerns about environmental sustainability and public health.
Food policy is central to meeting recognised ecological sustainability challenges.
Social justice issues around food are at the heart of recognised environmental and health challenges.
Addressing food-related social injustice mainly requires wider social and economic policy solutions.
Social justice does not mean treating everyone the same.
We need to find ways to engage people, and society as a whole, with food policy.
To enable people to change their behaviour, we need to address the inequalities that underpin their behaviour.
'Cheap food' is no longer a legitimate social policy objective.
The market, including the financial market, has to work differently.
There are limits to what can be achieved through market mechanisms, so we need government leadership.
The current international trade regime presents significant obstacles to addressing social injustice in food and farming.
All stakeholders face limits to what they can achieve themselves but, for their commitment to social justice to be credible, they must openly support whatever measures are necessary but beyond their own capacity.
The UK is an unfair society in a deeply unfair world. The Food and Fairness Inquiry has shown how all of us – in government, business, and civil society – are to some extent implicated. This means that we all have responsibilities for doing something about it. We can each do much more before we run up against the limits to our responsibilities.' (FEC, 2010, p. 17-18)
The main summary message is a call to recognise the causes and consequences of social injustices within the food system, in the UK and elsewhere, and the imperative to do something about them, at every level. Of course, the intense pressures on all involved (consumers, producers, processors, scientists, retailers, workers) and the factors driving the system in current directions, have to be acknowledged. These trends, which are national and international, include those:
in agricultural employment (fewer farmers and landowners, more landless labourers with fewer skills, demands for high flexibility so that producers bear more and more of the risk);
in processing and retail (high levels of regulation which militates against small businesses remaining in the system, increasing short-termism from shareholders);
in consumerism (increasingly values-driven, but with many unable to afford to put their values into practice).

Round 20, the final round of the Beat Lawro season.
Last summer saw the former and the current Station Managers of RaW beat the Sport team in the Euro 2008 predictions.
Preceding that, the Sport team lost to Mark 'Lawro' Lawrenson (who finished on 77 points) in a season long battle. Former double Head of Sport, Adam Wilbourn finished as the runner up last season, in the end just 5 points behind Lawro.
So, the Sport team has repeatedly been humiliated and their ability to predict the outcomes of football matches has been called into question.
This season, after 19 rounds, Lawro once again leads the Beat Lawro standings with 99 points and Wilbourn is his closest challenger, 14 points behind.
This weekend, as it is the final round of the season, we're implementing double league points, although Wilbourn is requesting more!
Submit your predictions by 4pm this Sunday and we'll compare yours against our team in the studio. If you do well enough, you'll appear on our league table!
Predictions in by 3pm on Saturday.
It's taken a while but we can final reveal the Beat Lawro standings going into the final weeks of the Premiership this season. Two tables have been produced.
The first is a Formula One style league points based table where the winner of each round gets 10 league points, the runner up gets 8 point, etc, until last place who gets 0 points.
Remember, this table benefits the most regular players. Having said that, poor Mr Eley hasn't benefitted from such luck.
The second is a points to matches ratio – the more accurately you predict, the higher up the table you go.
Remember, this table benefits those who may have had a lucky streak.
Good luck to anyone taking part in the final rounds.
While April Fool's Day has pretty much come and gone by now, the day will be remembered by sports fans for the unbelievable, yet seemingly true story that Alan Shearer is to take charge as Newcastle manager until the end of the season – even though it still hasn't been officially confirmed. It's believability isn't in question because it's a notion too hard to fathom – quite the opposite, it's an idea that's been banded about Tyneside ever since Bobby Robson's time as Newcastle manager was questioned. But never before has Shearer, a Geordie hero since his then record-breaking £15 million move to St. James' Park from Blackburn Rovers, even come close to taking up the role which has seemed to become vacant in recent years as often as England have changed their kits.
Shearer's past reluctance hasn't been because he has no interest managing the club he supported from the terraces as a young boy. Instead, the former England and Newcastle striker has seemed to avoid taking up the job due to a lack of desire to work under Newcastle's owners, be them the unpopular John Hall and Freddie Shepherd, or the nemesis of Tyneside Mike Ashley. But Ashley, despite the Newcastle fans' wishes and his subsequent attempts to sell, is still at the helm of the club that's becoming as well-known for having thousands of fans standing outside St. James' wondering whether one of the clubs favourite sons is coming or going as it is performance on the field. So what's motivated Shearer to finally take the plunge and have Newcastle fans in jubilation until the weekend at least? A question answerable in two words. Impending relegation.
And it is the influence of this potential disaster which prompted this article. When discussing today's developments in the North East, a number of people have suggested to me that Shearer is taking charge because his love for the club is so strong that he will do everything he feels he can to prevent the doomed fate of Championship football. Even if it means sacrificing his reputation and popularity with the fans who cheered every goal he scored and chanted his name as he infamously ran by them in celebration one arm aloft. While a noble and optimistic view of Shearer, I believe it is a wrong one. Newcastle have been in trouble before, albeit not quite so deeply as now, but the record Premier League goal-scorer has not batted an eyelid when turning down the opportunity to save the club before.
The difference this time, is that the decision isn't one requiring sacrifices. Shearer will be Newcastle's manager for eight games. If Newcastle stay up; Shearer's status as a Tyneside God increases. If Newcastle go down; Shearer put the club before himself, tried his best but didn't have the time/personnel to work the miracle required. To put it simply; Shearer can not fail. He will walk away (or indeed perhaps stay on if successful) a Newcastle hero, whatever happens. Whether this is the beginning of a long and successful managerial career for Alan Shearer, we'll have to wait and see. But for now, I see something more of the politician perhaps than the manager. He's chosen the right time under the right circumstances for him personally; the worst possible time and circumstances for Newcastle United. The only way is up; or at least that's what their fans will hope.

It's been a long summer, but RaW is finally running properly and RaW Sport is back in swing! This weekend sees the return of Beat Lawro.

So as discussed on todays show, my team of disappointments of the year. All of the players in this side either were disappointing in comparison to expectations, poor in relation to previous form, or simply not good enough to play in the side they do.
Particularly poor in his decisions, and his command of the area, the defence in front of him seemed nervous and apprehensive whenever he was required to make a decision. Particularly slow to recognise a threat or attempt to stop it.
Though he is far from the worst right back in the premiership, he is by no means good enough to play for Chelsea, weak defensively, and ineffective going forward, a constant weak link.
Signed for 7 million as cover for Terry and Carvalho, this 25 year old was one of the worst signings of the season. Often found out of position with a poor reading of the game, his clumsy challenges, poor tackles and general inability to win the ball legally made him a defensive disaster.
Often found wanting defensively this season, it would appear his relatively good first season in the Premiership was something of a fluke. Caught out too often by simple movement and touch, he lacked the positioning and reactions to keep the most average of strikers at bay.
I'm not saying he's a bad player, but considering the amount of fuss made by him and Mourinho and him becoming a Chelsea player, he showed little to suggest he was worth it. Disappointing going forward, not given the freedom or opportunity to play the football he did at Arsenal, he showed nothing to warrant Chelsea feeling they were better off with him than Wayne Bridge or indeed, William Gallas.
After a promising first season at Arsenal, showing good control and falir on the ball, he seemed to little offer little more than being a player to pass to and receive the ball back from. Rarely taking on defenders, and only scoring 3 goals in all competitions this season, Hleb has failed to show the form of Ljungberg or Pires of a few years ago. Arsenal lacked goals and genuine attacking threat from midfield, Hleb was one of the men culpable.
Having shone at the previous two World Cups, showing both goalscoring class, and great passing, Ballack seemed to offer Chelsea very little of difference this season to they had last. Only scoring 4 goals in the league, his contributions at time seemed minimal, and certainly not enough to warrant his place in the side over a genuine attacking midfielder, or warranting the movement of Lampard out of position at times to accomodate him.
Scoring 2 goals this season for Martin O'Neill, Petrov though by far the most talented player in Villa's midfield, has failed to offer Villa a cutting edge and genuine threat. Slow to adapt to the pace and strength of the Premiership, he's failed to recreate his Celtic form, and will be expected to offer much more next season.
Having teased Liverpool fans for a year as he waited for his work permit, this Chilean international has shown very few of the qaulities he promised. Poor ball control, a lack of quality in his crosses, and an inability to get past people, he never showed the quality required of a Liverpool player. Moving on after just one season, he was a failer in the Premiership.
Although his price was an inflated one, he has looked nothing like a £30 million striker. Whilst admittedly, Chelsea were not always playing to his strengths, or even playing him in his best position, the Ukranian star of Seria A struggled to adapt to the Premiership. Often wanting more time on the ball, and failing to cope with the league's physicality, he seemed to lack the threat and danger he showed in his AC Milan days. Only scoring 4 goals in the league, his return was not good enough of a player who has shown so much.
Appearing to be exactly what Liverpool required last summer, he failed to make a major impact on Benitez's side. 12 goals from over 40 appearances is not enough from a striker who often looked unwilling to use his pace to chase balls in the channel, or potential lost causes. Rarely threatening when dribbling, and looking anxious in front of goal, he failed to show the quality required.
If thats the case then this blog can reveal the insanity of the chairman of a Premier League club.
Yesterday, Wigan appointed Chris Hutchings as the successor to Paul Jewell, quitting only a day after keeping Wigan in the Premiership on the last day of the league season.
Wind back to the end of the 1999-2000 season. Manchester United had won the league, and Bradford City, under the management of Paul Jewell stayed in the Premiership by managing a win on the last day of the season.
A few days later he quit.
Chris Hutchings was appointed his successor.
After just 21 matches in charge, Hutchings was sacked, and the club went on to be relegated.
"I know Chris Hutchings and I know how good he is. I've every confidence he'll push us forward.
Insanity? You can judge for yourselves, although wait till this time next season, and the league table might be able to do it for you.

This is the first attempt at visualizing the shape of a time machine. These are all constructed and based on machines from the Industrial era, with a bit of a fantasy feel. As I'm trying to move away from Steam-punk I envision them all running off Diesel fuel and electricity. Some of the silhouettes suggest there being a capsule where the time traveller would climb into, whilst a couple would have a seat on them. I expect I'll be looking at other themes as well as improving these.
I agree with Phil Sam. I would also suggest a trip to the Science Museum in London. First hand research would really help in this case.
One other avenue would be to look more at the history of clocks / time - taking the work TIME in to consideration alongside Machine (you have machine above). There are some very bizarre early clock designs out there. One of them may inspire a different rationale for understanding the concept of time. May be a trip to the Greenwich too?
Think of the 'representation of time' as a possible way in.

The No. 1 Product in Each State Hit Hardest by the Trade War
Millions of American jobs depend on exports to other countries.

The ongoing saga of the trade dispute between China and the United States doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon. In fact, plenty of prognosticators are expecting the current conflict to stretch on for the foreseeable future. While many American consumers still haven't felt a direct impact on their lives, exporters in various industries are experiencing economic pain due to the retaliatory tariffs slapped on their goods.
Depending on where you live and what you do, the impact of the trade war on your livelihood can vary widely. While some states aren't heavily dependent on exports or have industries that serve countries with free trade pacts, other states rely on sending goods to China to maintain their bottom line. GOBankingRates examined the biggest exports to China from each American state, sourced from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to discover the industries hit hardest by the trade war.

Offal of swine (except livers), edible, frozen
Animal feed prep (except for dog or cat food), retail
American tastes tend to exclude animal organ meats, but that's not the case in all other countries. Plenty of beef and pork exports to countries like China and Mexico include internal organs that are used in their regional cuisines. Iowa alone sends over $30 million of pig offal to China on an annual basis.

Corrugated paper waste, scrap unbleached
China imports about $71 million in aluminum and copper scrap from Maryland on an annual basis, much of which it recycles into new products. However, importing scrap metal and other solid waste is one industry that China is moving away from. The country plans to reduce its solid waste shipments to zero by 2020 as part of its environmental campaign against "foreign garbage."

Lasers, other than laser diodes
If there's a state that can lay claim to having the coolest export getting hit by tariffs, Massachusetts makes a real case for winning the title, as its primary export to China is lasers. Lasers are used in a wide variety of high-tech products, such as smart TVs and 5G wireless technology.

Bovine/equine hide/skin, full-grain, unsplit
Salt, including table/denatured, pure sodium chloride, etc.; seawater
Nearly 7 million cattle live in Nebraska, which houses 7.2% of the total cattle in the country — second only to Texas. As such, Nebraska's prominent standing in the beef industry should make it clear why the state has so many bovine hides to ship overseas.

Copper ores and concentrates
Measuring and checking instrument, appliances and machines
Milk/cream concentrated
Nevada has long been home to a thriving mining industry, even earning its nickname, the Silver State, for major finds of the precious metal. Today, however, copper — which goes into things like wires and pipes — has eclipsed it. Copper ore and concentrates are the largest export to China from Nevada.

Parts and accessories of printers, copiers and fax machines
Insulated optical fiber cables
Electrical machines and apparatuses, having individual functions
Copiers, printers and fax machines involve a lot of different parts and accessories, so supplying them to China is a big part of New Hampshire's economy. The state sends $75 million worth of these parts and accessories across the Pacific every year.
Parts and accessories for automatic data processing machines and units
Jewelry and parts thereof, of other precious metal
You might not think of New Jersey when it comes to the international jewelry trade, but that's a mistake. The state exports $70 million worth of bling and related parts to China on an annual basis.
Chemical elements doped, used in electronics, discs wafers, etc.
Chinese hospitals tend to view American-made equipment as the most technologically advanced and better quality. That means devices like X-ray machines in China are often made by U.S. companies. New Mexico alone is responsible for exporting millions of dollars' worth of medical instruments and appliances to China each year.

Bituminous coal, not agglomerated
Portable digital automatic data processing machines, weighing not more than 10 kilograms
Pennsylvania has long been a part of coal country, so it shouldn't be surprising that the Keystone State depends on the fuel as its biggest export to China. Pennsylvania exports $288 million worth of coal to China on an annual basis.
Parts for electrical machines and apparatuses with individual functions
Base metals, silver or gold, clad with platinum, not further worked than semi-manufactured
Gold is popular with Chinese consumers, and one American supplier of the precious metal is Rhode Island. Gold and gold-related products are the state's second- and third-largest exports to China, in the form of gold compounds used to treat various diseases and the base metal that's often found in jewelry.

South Carolina's economy is deeply involved in the auto industry, as all three of the state's biggest exports to China are either vehicles or parts for them. South Carolina sends about $2.5 billion worth of passenger vehicles overseas on an annual basis.
Lifting, handling, loading and unloading machines
Bentonite, including calcined
South Dakota is getting off relatively easy in the trade war compared to the other states. It exports just $63 million in goods to China each year. A little under one-third of that money comes from loading and unloading machines, such as cranes and power shovels.
Passenger vehicle with spark ignition and electric motor, not charged by plug
While no one would bat an eye at California exporting a lot of electric cars, it might be a little more surprising to hear that they're also the top export for Tennessee. The state's auto industry sends over $200 million worth of cars with electric motors across the Pacific each year.

Forage products (hay, clover, vetches, etc.)
While soybeans are the biggest feed crop that the United States sends abroad, Utah counts forage products — like straw and hay — among its biggest exports to China. The Beehive State exports $50 million worth of forage products overseas each year.
Spectrometers, spectrophotometers and spectrographs using optical radiations (ultraviolet, visible, infrared)
Articles/equipment for general, physical exercise, gym, etc.
Vermont cheddar has a stellar reputation, but Chinese interest in Vermont dairy products appears to start earlier than that. Whey — the liquid that remains after milk has been curdled to make cheese — is high in protein and gets used in various food products, from bakery goods to infant formula. The Green Mountain State ships $11 million worth of whey to China each year.
Another state where soybeans are the largest export to China, Virginia ships $361 million worth of the product across the Pacific each year.

[Source: Yahoo!News] Harry Potter fans are freaking out about a new theory that's been circulating on Tumblr. The theory will make you feel more wary about the Albus Dumbledore fans came to know and love.
Here's what you need to remember, before we tell you the theory.
The whole theory stems around the Tale of Three Brothers, a fairy tale told to Potter during the seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
Three wizard brothers come to a river that's too treacherous to cross, so they make a bridge with their wands. But as they're crossing they're met by a hooded figure, Death, who is upset they've "cheated" him.
But Death, being cunning, acts like he's impressed. He offers them each a prize for outwitting him. The first brother asks for an extremely powerful wand — and so he is given the Elder Wand.
The second brother asks for the power to bring people back to life and is handed the resurrection stone.
The third brother, who senses that Death may have ulterior motives, asks for something that will allow him to move forward without being followed by Death himself. And so Death hands him an invisibility cloak that hides the wearer from even his own gaze.
For two of the three brothers, the story doesn't end well. The first brother is murdered over the Elder Wand. The second brother kills himself after a woman he brings back to life returns differently and he decides to join her in the void. The third brother lives to be an old man, then hands the cloak to his son, and "greets Death as an old friend."
Harry Potter fans have long assumed that the three brothers represent Lord Voldemort (the brother with the Elder Wand), Severus Snape (the brother with the resurrection stone) and Harry Potter (the brother with the invisibility cloak).
Death is Dumbledore, according to this new theory. Here's the evidence.
During the first book, Dumbledore gives Harry Potter an invisibility cloak, just like Death in the fable.
In the first book of the series, "Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone," headmaster Albus Dumbledore gifts Harry an invisibility cloak, which belonged to Harry's deceased father, James. The gift included a note: "Your father left this in my possession when he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well."
Dumbledore also gives Harry the Resurrection Stone.
During the first book, Harry Potter catches a Golden Snitch by swallowing it during his first Quidditch match. Later, Potter discovers Dumbledore hid the resurrection stone within that snitch. After Dumbledore's death, his will leaves the resurrection stone-containing snitch to Harry.
"To Harry James Potter, I leave the Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts, as a reminder of the rewards of perseverance and skill," his will reads.
For a while, Harry is unable to open the snitch. A sentence merely appears on the golden sphere, "I open at the close."
But at the end of the final book when Potter is walking to his death match with Lord Voldemort, he's finally able to open the snitch by whispering "I am about to die." Inside, he finds the resurrection stone, the stone that was part of the Tale of Three Brothers. Harry is then able to see all of his deceased family members before what he believes is to be his final fight with Lord Voldemort.
And what about the third brother's Elder Wand? Dumbledore had that in his possession too.
Dumbledore acquired the Elder Wand's powers during a famous duel before the books take place. During his demise, the power of the wand shifts from himself to Draco Malfoy accidentally, and then ultimately to Harry Potter, who defeats Malfoy in a duel.
So with all that knowledge, here's the theory that's floating around Tumblr. The theorist also notes that Dumbledore first met Harry Potter at King's Cross and that he was ultimately behind/involved in the deaths of Severus Snape and Lord Voldemort.


In this article the Perl module XML::XSLT is introduced. It shows some of the capabilities of the W3C's XSLT standard and how it can be used to help you manage and publish XML documents to the web.
XSL Transformations (XSLT) is a W3C recommendation, and can thus be considered a standard. XSLT is part of XSL which is XML Stylesheet Language. It's purpose is, as the name says, to stylesheet or layout a XML document. Formatting object play a major role in XSL in laying out the information, but in that process transformation of the data is often needed. And that is where XSLT comes in.
In contrast to XSL itself, XSLT is already recommended and stable. In several programming languages XSLT processors are being developed. The most mature ones are written in C (XT, written by James Clark) and in Java (Xalan, formerly developed by Lotus Inc. and know by the Apache Foundation). But in Perl also two projects are ongoing: XML::XSLT and XML::Sabotron. The former is the older one and completely written in Perl, while the latter is an interface for a C++ XSLT processor.
The current version is 0.21 and can be downloaded from CPAN. Also recently the project has gone SourceForge, and a CVS tree is available. This article, though, is based on version 0.21. The Perl module is developed by Geert Josten, a chemistry student at the University of Nijmegen, but nowadays manny other people contributed to the development. With a CVS tree up, the development of XML::XSLT is expected to boost. Which is necessary to speed up the implementation of W3C's working draft on XSLT.
And these tree types are also available for transform_document() procedure given in the first example.
Here is a script that converts a XML file based on a XSLT stylesheet. It takes two arguments on the command line, being the filenames of the XSLT sheet and the XML file. Note that this script makes use of the "FILE" mechanism.
Now that we know how a XSLT processor can be used in Perl to convert XML documents, we can have a look at the XSLT standard.
XSL Transformation was designed to facilitate the publishing of data stored in XML. While XSL Formatting is used for layout and design, XSLT is used for basic transformation of your XML data, such as sorting, selecting information and also combining information from several sources. However, in real live, it turned out that XSLT alone was also suitable for layout and design.
XML::XSLT does not cover all XSLT commands yet, but all commands used in this article are supported.
The first template matches all elements in the XML document. The second template matches all CDATA in the XML document. And the last template actually does what we want: each Item in the Summary in the Gnumeric document is given the CDATA value of the name and the val-string child elements. Check this! Compare the output and see if this is what you expect based on the XML document.
But the first template already matches Item, doesn't it? Then why does it apply the third template and not the first? This is because the latter overwrites the first. Templates are thus sorted from general to specific.
There is now an additional template for the root (/) element. This makes it possible to put the XHTML code around all other output; the output we had in the first example is now placed in the body. Why? When XML::XSLT starts processing it searches for a template that matches the root. It then prints the XHTML code up till the opening body element. Then it continues to apply templates to all child elements. When that it all done, it continues with the root template again, and prints the closing body and html tags.
There is also some additional XHTML code in the Item template. Note that you can mix both XSLT commands with output data. A XSLT processor takes every element that does not has the xsl namespace to be output.
The xsl:for-each command gives some additional control to the processing of the XML document, especially in the combination with xsl:sort but that command is not yet implemented in XML::XSLT.
To bad the XML document used has only one worksheet. You might want to try it on a Gnumeric file with more worksheets.
As mentioned before we cannot sort elements with XML::XSLT at this moment. And that is a pity, because the XML data in the Gnumeric file is not sorted. If we could sort it, we would be able to generate a XHTML table with gives the exact content of the worksheet. But that is not possible now. However, what we can do is list all information in a certain row or column. This is explained in the next example.
Since the Sheets template did not, we have to tell it to apply templates to the child Cells element. By using the select attribute with the xsl:apply-templates command, we force it to apply templates to the Cells element only.
The Cells template loops over all child Cell elements (again, make sure to check this with the source XML file!), but only print the value if the attribute Col has the value "3". Notice that the at sign refers to attributes where omission of the sign refers the elements.
Now that the templates get more complex, it is worth noting what the current element is. Within the document there is no focus, but once in a template a focus is applied. For example, when applying the Cells template, the processor is focussed on a instance of this element. Thus, a Cells element. When selecting information this focus is applied: select="." in the Cells template refers to the Cells element. The select="Cell" in the xsl:for-each command would select all Cell elements, but once in the loop the focus would be on one of these Cell element. Notice that the test="@Col" thus refers to an attribute of Cell and not of Cells. From within the loop one can refer to attributes of Cells element with select="../@name", except for the fact that Cells has no attributes.
The xsl:text command makes sure that all text is outputed. Normally, the space in the ", " sequence would be regarded as whitespace, which is not part of important output. By using xsl:text one can make sure that all text is outputed.
There is much more to both XSLT and the XML::XSLT module. This short article is just to give an introduction to the module. It would probably have given more questions and answers, but that is good. Leave them on the talkback page or post them on the mailing list on the XML::XSLT web site.
CDATA is character data and can is any sequence of characters not containing "]]>". See XML Recommendation.
Document Object Model. An interface that can be used to access documents, for example XML documents. See the DOM web site.

A bit of a different post from me today! Not food but instead I'm sharing a crochet baby blanket I made recently. It is a giant granny square crochet baby blanket, which I made using up various ends of yarn I have leftover from another ongoing project. It's the first blanket I've actually finished and I am inordinately pleased!
Do you crochet? I taught myself using books and various YouTube tutorials. As a left-hander I thought it would be too difficult to pick up, but once I'd watched a few tutorials (Bella Coco is great) and made a few small granny squares I soon got into the rhythm of it! I think I have ended up crocheting right handed though. I just did what felt more comfortable. This blanket is 26 rounds of the traditional granny square pattern, plus a border of single crochet.
A brand new baby girl is now using the blanket but I took a few snaps before handing it over. It will be good to keep a record so I can look back at what I've made. I hope it is brightening up her Moses basket right now!
I love the rainbow of colours. The shades of yarn I used are as follows, from the centre, all Stylecraft Special DK apart from the border: Lipstick, Lavender, Fondant, Saffron, Shrimp, Aspen, Aster, Plum, Fondant, Spring Green, Saffron, Shrimp, Fondant, border of Baby Pink.
Now that I have this new hobby my kids' beds will hopefully have their own blankets by the time winter comes around. It is lovely to be able to make something like this by hand. I like the giant granny square blankets in particular because there is no need to see together individual squares, and the blanket gets bigger quite quickly. I think it took me about two to three weeks to make this giant granny square crochet baby blanket, just doing a little at a time. Look out for more crochet here on the blog soon! Have you got the crochet bug?
I have not crocheted in a long time but am looking for an easy pattern. I am not afraid of color changes. Do you just use standard granny square pattern and keep going?
Yes I think I mentioned in the post this was 26 rounds of a standard granny square pattern plus a single crochet border. It's so easy!
I love the colours of your blanket. I'm not a big fan of crochet, I think I have an aversion that dates back to my childhood. I can crochet but somehow I prefer knitting and sewing.
Thanks Janice! I'm no good at knitting or sewing, my grandma and great aunt knitted and crocheted a lot when I was a child so I think I am carrying on their tradition in a way which is a nice thought.


The future for pasta is a 3D printer. This new technology enables leading pasta-maker to try out new shapes and possibilities for astonishing consumers around the world. The international Thingarage contest held in Italy recently launched many new ideas. From Rosa, by Frenchman Loris Tupin, which, when placed in boiling water, opens up just like a flower, to Lune by Italian designer Alessandro Carabini, distinguished by a spherical shape with "craters" specially designed to collect and retain sauces, or Vortipa, by Danilo Spiga and Luis Fraguarda with its whirlwind shape.
In the past, pasta was drawn through bronze rollers and pasta factories still using bronze today are experiencing a new life and proudly indicate this on labels thanks to growing attention to typical produce and quality. The die shapes the pasta and small business pasta makers still prefer bronze because, unlike steel, it produces a rough surface ideal for holding sauces. Not only that, bronze drawing means it is possible to work the pasta at low temperatures, thereby better preserving vitamins and nutritional characteristics. So why is steel preferred in industrial plant? It is a question of costs. Processing with bronze takes much more time.

New replacement Aspire (BVC) bottom vertical coil heads.
Better taste, less burning taste.
Huger vapor, offering a better vapor experience.
This coil can NOT be used on Aspire Nautilus BVC Glass Clearomizers & Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC Glass Clearomizers or Vision Vivi Nova.
Like the website, user friendly received order sooner that expected. Very impressed!
Nice, smooth juice. Much like a real cigarette.
I love the simplicity in replacing these coils and never got a bad one.
Been vaping for a couple of years and I've tried them all. Aspire is the best product on the market right now. Their coils last and don't lose their flavor or never taste burnt.

The Grand Genius Summer of Henry Hoobler, by Lisa Shanahan
It struck Henry that perhaps he was waiting for the exact right moment to be daring and brave. The exact right moment where he felt no worry at all, not one tiny flicker. But what if that moment never came?
Henry Hoobler and his family are off on holiday – but Henry would rather stay home with his Nonna. There are lots of scray things about a camping holiday at the beach – sharks, spiders, snakes and blue-ringed octopi. But the thing he is most afraid is the new bike he got for Christmas, which is strapped to the trailer. Everybody wants him to ride it – but Henry is scared he'll fall off.
The Grand Genius Summer of Henry Hoobler is a feel-good story about what it the meaning of bravery, friendship and family. As Henry tries to summon the courage to get on his bike, he navigates a new friendship with Cassie, who lives in the holiday park, and conquers other fears, including helping his little sister find a lost pony in the middle of the night. He also observes those around him learning new things and taking on challenges of their own.
With laughter, moments of poignancy, and lots of feel-good moments, The Grand Genius Summer of Henry Hoobler is a treat.

Goldenhand, by Garth Nix
'I'm a messenger!' bawled the nomad. She was even younger than the young guard, perhaps having seen only sixteen or seventeen of the harsh winters of her homeland. Her lustrous skin was acorn brown, her hair black, worn in a plaited queue that was wound several times around her head like a crown, and her dark eyes appealing. 'I claim the message right!'
With the Abhorsen, Sabriel, and her husband the King on holidays, the Abhorsen-in-waiting Lirael is responsible for protecting the Old Kingdom from the Dead and any Free Magic creatures. The last six months have been quiet, but two messages are coming her way. One, carried by a stranger from beyond the walls, is in danger of not being delivered because its carrier, a girl named Ferin, is being pursued by sorcerers determined to stop her. The other message, carried by a messenger hawk, is more successful in getting through. It's from Nicholas Sayre, who Sabriel feared she might never see again. When she responds to the message she finds him unconscious, near to death.

When the Lyrebird Calls, by Kim Kane
The sun had sneaked out from behind the clouds, and sparkles from the shoes bounded about the grass. Madeleine looked back up. the girl crossed her arms. 'I was not enquiring after the shrubs, she said imperiously. 'I want to know what you are doing in Bea's dress slippers.'
Madeleine is not impressed at being sent to the country to stay with her eccentric grandmother for the holidays, while her big brother gets to stay with his best friend. Staying with Mum Crum means early mornings, yoga and hard work. But when she finds a pair of shoes hidden in the cupboard she is renovating, Madeleine is intrigued and wants to know more. Soon, she is finding out far more than she bargained for, when she finds herself transported back to 1900, to the home of the shoe's owner.
Now Madeline is part of a family and time where women have no power or independence, as the Federation of Australia's colonies nears. She witnesses the treatment of Aboriginals, staff and children, and is conflicted about both what she sees and how little she can do to change it. She also watches the family struggle through personal turmoil as she worries about how she will get back to her own time.
When the Lyrebird Calls is an absorbing time-slip novel for children and young adults, set in late colonial Australia, as well as in contemporary Victoria. While a number of issues are explored through the text, the action carries the story so that it does not become issue heavy. Young readers will enjoy being able to see aspects of colonial life through the yes of a contemporary narrator.

Freedom Swimmer, by Wai Chim
Ma is gone. I fought back tears, gripping the handle of the wheelbarrow tighter so her body wouldn't tip out too soon. I was taking her to the river to join the other villagers who had passed. I didn't dare look around – what if one of those bodies had surfaced, caught on a rock instead of being swept away by the current after the last rains? I could almost picture the head of some weeks-dead villager bobbing up beside me, all sunken cheeks and lifeless eyes behind paper-thin lids.
Having watched his parents die in a famine during the 'Great Leap Forward', Ming is left orphaned. Sharing a house with other village orphans, he must work hard to grow crops for his village and for the Communist government, with little time for himself. When the Party brings a group of city boys to work in the village, Ming forms an unlikely friend with Li, a charming, likeable city boy. Ming, taught to swim by his father, now teaches Li to swim and as they exchange their stories and their dreams they also start to wonder if there is a chance for freedom.
Freedom Swimmer is a tale of friendship set in 1960s China. Told from the dual perspectives of the two protagonists, the story explores both the effects of living under the fledgling regime, and the efforts of the freedom swimmers, people who attempted to swim from mainland China to Hong Kong, where they would find freedom.
Based on the experiences of author Wai Chim's father, who made the freedom swim in 1973, Freedom Swimmer is a moving story.

The Safest Place in London, by Maggie Joel
There was something rather splendid about this woman who would not have looked out of place in the pages of a magazine, but whom fate had put here, in the the East End, in a tube station with a cigarette in her mouth and a small child. It set her apart from the wretched mother and her five starving children.
Diana Meadows is lost. She and her three year old daughter Abigail have come up to London on secret business, and somehow caught the wrong bus. Now she's in the East End and the air raid sirens are blaring. Not far away Nancy Levin and her own daughter, Emily, are cooking chips for dinner when they, too, hear the siren. They know what to do, having done it many times before, and gather their belongings before heading off to the shelter.Both women's husbands are off at the war – Diana's Gerald is serving with a tank regiment in North Africa, while Nancy's Joe has just left to return to the navy after surviving a torpedoing. The husbands believe their wives and daughters are safe. The two women spend the night camped beside each other in the cramped underground space. Though they don't speak, each observes the other – and their lives become linked before the all clear sounds.
The Safest Place in London is a gripping, shocking tale of war time life and the lengths mothers will go to to protect their families. With the chance to observe the thoughts processes of both characters, and to see what happens beyond the terrible night in the shelter, readers will grow to know them, and perhaps to understand their actions.
Lots to think about both during and after reading.

My Dog Dash by Nicki Greenberg
My dog Dash wasn't very well-behaved at puppy school.
I think the teacher could have been a bit more patient with him.
Dash's story is told by a young girl who loves him. Dash attends puppy school, but although he does many of the same things as other puppies, the teacher is unimpressed. He's great at 'sit' and 'stay' but is still working on other tasks. Walking Dash is slow because he's interested in everything he sees. But he is her pet, and she loves him, despite what others might see as his failures or peccadillos. Illustrations are full page and provide plenty of humour.
Dash is an unusual dog, but there are plenty of those in the world. This young girl is caring and responsible with her pet, despite the reactions of others. 'My Dog Dash' is hilarious and will be fun to share with one reader or many. Recommended for pre- and early-schoolers.

Mr Chicken Goes to Paris, by Leigh Hobbs
On the way to the Arc de Triomphe, he politely asked someone to take his photo.
'Of course, monsieur,' came the reply.
'Merci, madame,' said Mr Chicken.
Mr Chicken loves to travel and he has never visited France, so when his French friend Yvette invites him, he hops on the next plane. In Paris there is so much to see. He practises his French phrases as he visits the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and more. And, when things don't go exactly to plan, his friend Yvette is there to help.
Since its first release in 2009, Mr Chicken Goes to paris has been loved by all ages. Mr Chicken is an oversized, startling looking chicken, but his zest for life and quest for discovery make him loveable. The fact that he seems unaware that he is different – and is, in fact, often more interesting to those around him and the landmarks he is visiting – will delight young readers and be the cause of much discussion.
The latest release of includes a copy of the book and a plush Mr Chicken.

Anders and the Volcano by Gregory Mackay
'I can't believe the holidays are almost here, Bernie.'
'I know. It's the last day of school already.'
'I'm so excited!'
'What do you have planned?'
'Um …'
Anders and his friends, Bernie and Eden are looking forward to their holidays, now that school is finished. Anders and his family are going away, as is Eden. But Bernie has no plans as his father has to work. Anders soon sorts that out and Bernie joins his family at the holiday camp. There they spend their time exploring, having fun, making new friends. Eden is happy to join in, but is just as happy to entertain herself with her own projects. Now Anders is not the only one with a beetle, there is even more adventure to be had. Their new friend doesn't have a beetle, but she does have a cricket, a jumpy one. Cover art shows the friends flying with the aid of their beetles/cricket and the smoking volcano hints at their interaction with this extinct volcano. Characters are drawn lightly as animals of different species.
Told in graphic novel/comic format, Anders and the Volcano is light on text, heavy on image and packaged as a novel. This second adventure with Anders and his friends (Book 1: Anders and the Comet) explores many familiar aspects of summer holidays – going away, exploring, playing, sleepovers. Each of the characters has their own story, and represent a range of family types and backgrounds. The style of the images is uncluttered and gentle and would be accessible to a wide range of readers and reading abilities. Younger competent readers will enjoy the adventures told in the comic style and older readers not ready for full novels will appreciate the different character journeys and the clarity of the text. Recommended for newly competent and mid-primary readers.

Captain Jimmy Cook Discovers Third Grade by Kate & Jol Temple ill Jon Foye
I discovered three things tody:
Captain Cook was the greatest explorer that ever lived.
Captain Cook is my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather
Third Grade is going to be the best year of my life.
It's History Week and learning about Captain Cook is the second-best thing that has ever happened in Ms Fennel's class. The first, of course, being the escape of Ambystoma mexicanum, which is Wikipedia for axolotl.
I discovered three things today:
Jimmy Cook has just discovered a link to Captain James Cook and decided that these genes mean that he is destined for Big Things. He's keeping a log – a Captain's log – of all his plans and observations. One of his plans involves completing some of Captain Cook's unfinished tasks. But first he has to overcome some obstacles, the most troublesome of which is fellow classmate and all-round pest Alice Toolie. No matter what he does, she seems to get there first. But Jimmy is undaunted. World class explorers have to expect a few setbacks. Illustrations scatter throughout to help Jimmy be sure that readers understand his world.
If bright ideas and enthusiasm are what spins the world, then Jimmy Cook is sure of many whirlwind adventures. His Captain's log overflows his brilliance and capabilities. Nothing shakes his confidence, nothing gets in his way. Not pesky classmates, not the doubts of others, not reality. He is ready to take on the world. Whether or not the world is quite ready for some of his wilder ideas, is another matter. Young readers will be carried along in the excitement of Jimmy's missions and laugh out loud at some of the absurdities. Recommended for newly confident readers who still like a few illustrations to break up the text.

LF – Low-Interest Loans Support Family Farming
Article featured on Lancaster Farming.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Gov. Tom Wolf announced seven new low-interest loan approvals through the Commonwealth Financing Authority that will help small family farms make the necessary capital improvements to sustain and grow their livelihoods in Adams, Bedford, Berks, Columbia, Lancaster, Northumberland and Snyder counties.
"The survival of small family farms is not just essential to Pennsylvania's economy, it's critical to keeping rural Pennsylvania communities thriving," Wolf said.
The funding will assist farmers with construction costs, help farmers start businesses and enable them to acquire land to facilitate expansion.
The following loans were approved:
Joshua and Stacy Martin were approved for a $103,600, 10-year loan at a 2 percent fixed rate through the Adams County Economic Development Corp. to acquire a 10.05-acre farm in Straban Township and begin a business raising and selling Boer goats and revive a family bakery business. The goat herd will start at 29 does and one buck and grow to 50 head, and the business may expand further onto an adjacent 50-acre property.
Matthew and Loretta Garman were approved for a $286,000, 12-year loan at a 3.5 percent fixed rate through the Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission to construct a 22,500-square-foot cage-free layer barn on their 110-acre farm in Hopewell Township. The layer barn will house 10,000 hens and their organic eggs will be sold exclusively to Handsome Brook Farm.
Ray and Jenifer Hershey were approved for a $400,000, 15-year loan at a 2.5 percent rate with a 7-year reset through the Greater Berks Development Fund to acquire the 83.4-acre farm in Bethel Township that they currently lease. The Hersheys use the land to operate a dairy farm with more than 650 cows.
M&K Family Farms LLC was approved for a $400,000, 15-year loan at a 3.5 percent fixed rate through the SEDA-Council of Governments to acquire 35 acres of farmland and construct a 55,890-square-foot layer barn in Catawissa Township. The layer barn will house 40,000 hens, and their eggs are contracted to be sold to Dutchland Farms, LLC, for four years.
Clayton and Deanna Andrews were approved for a $400,000, 15-year loan at a 2.5 percent rate with a seven-year reset through the EDC Finance Corp. to purchase a 115.3-acre farm property on Beaver Valley Pike in West Lampeter Township with 81 tillable acres, four farm buildings and a residence. The Andrewses will utilize the land and farm buildings to expand their crop operation.
Robert, Tomilee and Callen Foresman were approved for a $400,000, 15-year loan at a 3.5 percent fixed rate through the SEDA-Council of Governments to construct two 25,116-square-foot broiler breeder houses on their farm in Delaware Township. The broiler breeder houses will allow the family to fulfill a 12-year contract with Pedigree Chicks to produce eggs.
James and Megan Adams were approved for a $400,000, 12-year loan at a 3.5 percent fixed rate through the SEDA-Council of Governments to acquire a 56-acre property in Beaver Township where they will operate a hog farm. Additionally, the Adamses will purchase Energy Recyclers LLC, which operates a methane digester on the property that generates electricity to be used on the farm and sold to the grid.
A full list of approved projects and guidelines for each program can be found online at dced.pa.gov.

A new season began April 4th with Opening Day ceremonies at Buster Hallman field in Guthrie Smith Park. No other sports gathering has the tradition and ceremonial activities as the Opening Day ceremonies. It is an annual rite that brings players, family members and curious spectators to the park each spring.
After the announcements, introductions and words of thankfulness to all who make the Park and sports seasons possible, the coaches and players are introduced one by one. The name of every coach and every player on every team in every age bracket is called out as they race from the dugouts to take their places on the field. All the baseball players and all the softball players are recognized until they are all assembled as one large group.
And then it's "Play Ball".
The several ball fields at Guthrie Smith Park create a relaxed atmosphere that draws spectators for the games and for fellowship. The open air, ease of movement among the ball fields and adjacent playgrounds makes the baseball season most attractive to those desiring to be outside and among friends. It is a time for casual pleasure at the park with friends and hot dogs from the concession stand. Come this spring and enjoy the games and your neighbors.

ICE Arrests of Undocumented Immigrants Have Jumped Dramatically Under Trump
This image was removed due to legal reasons.
The first few months of Donald Trump's presidency have seen a dramatic jump in the number of arrests made by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency—an alarming confirmation of the administration's efforts to target undocumented immigrant communities.
According to government numbers provided to the Washington Post, ICE made 21,362 arrests between January and mid-March of this year. 5,441 of them involved undocumented immigrants with no criminal record, more than doubling the number of non-criminal arrests made during the same period last year. All told, the Post reports, there has been a 32.6% spike in ICE arrests compared to the first months of 2016. There has also been a 75% spike in detainers requested by ICE to local law enforcement holding arrested immigrants.
While the Post notes that the total arrests thus far for this year are lower than the 29,238 undocumented immigrants arrested during the opening months of 2014 under President Barack Obama—who currently holds the record for most deportations of any U.S. president in history—it's important to see these early numbers as part of a larger whole. In the context of Trump's (legally dubious) travel bans, oft-promised border wall, and pattern of bigoted rhetoric against immigrants, the spike in arrest represents a part of a broad effort to marginalize and criminalize immigrants.
Earlier this month, ex-ICE boss John Sandweg, who served as the agency's acting director from 2013-2014, criticized Trump's newly unleashed immigration authorities, telling WNYC's The Takeaway that the administration targets "the lowest hanging fruit because they can be deported, they've been caught the quickest, deported the fastest. Forget about whether they're criminals or not."
The effect of Trump's policy is already starting to be felt on the ground.
"My sense is that ICE is emboldened in a way that I have never seen," King's County, WA, prosecutor Dan Satterberg told the Post. "The federal government, in really just a couple of months, has undone decades of work that we have done to build this trust."

MISSION is for everyone, and that includes you and your family. When you visit on a weekend, it's important to us that you feel right at home, right away.
Join us on a weekend, pick a service time that works best for you.
Available at all service times.
Explore the message, mission and vision behind everything we do and learn about our history and core beliefs.
Stop by the HUB when you get here, you can't miss it. We've got a gift for you and we will point you in the right direction.
Arrive early, especially if you have kiddos that will need to be checked in. Check out more tips for first-time guests with kids here.
The earlier you arrive, the better chance you will have at finding a great parking spot. We also have a curb-side drop off and a shuttle available.
Nope. You will see people wearing shorts and flip flops sitting next to people wearing suits and dresses.
How many people attend MISSION?
We are a church of about 4500 average weekend attendance. In a church of our size, it can be difficult to find community so we suggest you check out how you can Connect in a Group or stop by the HUB to meet some people!
What is there for my kids or teenagers?
Reaching the next generation is a key part to why MISSION exists. We have incredible environments on and off the weekends for kids and youth.
Check out the About MISSION page.
What is the preaching/teaching style?
Our regular teaching consists primarily of Lead Pastor Joel Thomas. Occasionally, other pastors from inside and outside MISSION will speak.
First and foremost, our messages are Bible-based. Everything that is taught has been surrounded with hours of prayer, study and discussion by a team of message contributors. With the Bible as the foundation, our messages are designed to provide real-life application and understanding of the Scriptures. We believe that knowing the Word is important but living it is a key part of life change and finding thriving life in Jesus.
What is the music style?
You're going to like the music. For the most part, it's all newer, popular tunes from the worship genre, and mostly stuff you've heard on the radio. Our musicians are professionals and there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that our weekend services are irresistible and distraction-free.
If you'd like, you can check out one of our previous full-length services in the message library to see for yourself.
What's with the TV on stage?
Most of our pastors and teachers use a TV on stage to help increase engagement with the audience. Since not everyone has a Bible with them on the weekend, it helps to put the Scriptures on the screen so everyone can engage with what they are telling us.
How long are the weekend services?
Usually right around 60 minutes, give or take a few.
Yes. We take communion at various times throughout the year as a way of remembering and reflecting on what Christ has done for us. All believers are welcomed to participate.
There are four basic ways to engage at MISSION and we've made all of them very simple for you.
I've still got a few questions.

Q: Type mismatch in Redeclaration I have been able to remove almost all errors except these 5 errors in this C program (too long to paste so providing link).
http://codepad.org/AfqrDojN
The errors I receive are as follows:

I am using the following libraries:
#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>

What could be the issue?

A: you are redefining the function remove that is already declared in
#include <stdio.h>

changing the name of your function to (for example) void myremove() will probably solve your problem.
