It is no secret that food has a way of bringing people together. As local Oshawa Ontario Resident Alanzo Byfield describes it, "food by passes all the things that can divide us: religion, race, gender, and age; no matter what, we all need to eat." The good news is there is an opportunity to give back in every choice we make when it comes to the foods we buy and Alanzo is trying to remind people of this through a produce food share program he is currently piloting in his community. We love food and we love giving, so naturally, we LOVE this idea.
Alanzo's journey began a few years ago when he made the decision to walk away from the corporate world to build a new career centered around organic farming. Through farming Alazno hoped to help people reconnect with nature and to each other in the process. "There is nothing more human than growing, eating and sharing our food. It connects us to nature while maintaining our necessary connection to each other. Through these acts we will gain a better understanding of ourselves and so remind us of our humanity", Alanzo explained. Well, I am happy (and excited) to report that his vision is now coming to life in the food share program called "Two Birds, One Scone" that he launched earlier this year.
The program works like this: community members purchase weekly bags of fresh, organic AND local produce. Fifty percent of the proceeds then go towards subsidizing the cost of a bag of produce for a family who otherwise may not be able to afford it. The produce offered comes from a local organic farm which makes this program a major win for the environment as well. He spends a lot of his free time organizing the program and makes very minimal profit from the work he does. The program aims to increase equal access to healthy, locally produced organic food. Encouraging healthy eating, teaching people about where food really comes from and supporting local farms are other positive outcomes of this initiative. Alanzo explains why he believes food can be such a powerful tool in impacting social change; "when we strip away all the frills; the big houses the cars, the clothes, we're left with two things: nature and community. It is food that brings these two together. Food is both our most basic connection to nature and most common connection to each other".
The time and dedication Alanzo puts towards making a difference is inspiring. We can all learn something from his choice to create a positive impact in his community and follow through on that choice with action. The world needs people like Alanzo for his commitment to creating positive change; people who understand that we all have a role to play in taking care of our communities, our environment and one another. It is this commitment that led to the start of this food share program which has the potential to help SO many people. But, we also need people like you and I to support these programs in order for them to be a success. It is a perfect example to remind us that in every choice we make we have an opportunity to create positive change. Food is something we buy almost every single day. Two Birds, One Scone makes giving easy by offering a way we can buy food that not only nourishes our bodies but also the environment and our communities as whole. Now that is what I call comfort food. For more information on this food share initiative please visit his website to learn more or check out his Instagram page @thegroundedbird to follow him on his journey of growing food and giving back!
Have you ever thought of a great idea about a service or support that could help people in your community but convinced yourself you wouldn't be able to do it? Or maybe you often wish there was something you could do to help others but instead believed that person who told you one person can't make a difference? Let Alanzo's journey inspire you not to give up on those ideas and know that you CAN make a difference! Amazing things happen when we follow our hearts in live with purpose. Join the 365 give challenge today to start making that difference, one give, one day at time. Share your gives and read our blog to get inspired! Together we can create a better, happier world.
Melissa is a social work graduate with a lifelong passion for advocacy and social justice. She knows that there is power in our choices and that in each action we take we have the ability to make the world a kinder, more compassionate place. Beyond these individual choices, Melissa believes that sharing stories of helping, giving and compassion will inspire others to do the same. Through her writing contributions to 365give she aspires to be a part of creating lasting positive change.


As one of the world's leading coatings companies, we strive to be at the forefront of design trends and our International range of protective coatings and passive fire protection products is developed to complement architectural innovations.
With its curved façade and spiralling form symbolizing China's emergence as a global financial power, the Shanghai Tower is world's second tallest building (behind Burj Khalifa in Dubai), after its six-year construction was completed at the end of 2015. Standing 632 meters above the ground and featuring 121 stories, the "city within a city" mixed-use tower is located at Shanghai's burgeoning Lujiazui financial district and its nine vertical zones include a hotel, shops, offices, public gardens and cultural facilities.
Sustainability is central to our business and our success and we are very proud to have been part of a project that showcases cutting-edge sustainable strategies and shows commitment to an environmentally responsible future. We are committed to providing our customers with sustainable solutions to their coating needs and we work with them to ensure that all aspects of the coating process are consistent with the sustainable design credentials of the project.
Shanghai Tower is one of the most advanced sustainable tall buildings in the world and goes to great lengths to generate its own energy. The 120° twist design benefits the building by funnelling rainwater into large tanks which can then be used for air-conditioning and heating systems. Also, the Tower's double-layered insulating glass skin was designed to admit maximum daylight, reducing the need for electric lighting, while the façade's 270 wind turbines can create enough power to completely operate the building's exterior lighting.
Around 200,000 liters of our protective coatings and intumescent fire protection products, including Interchar 1983, were used to provide fire protection for stair steel structures and the façade's supporting steel structures for up to 90 minutes.
Supported by our 35 years' experience in the field, thin film Interchar 1983 does not compromise intricate designs and shapes created from structural steel and it is independently tested to assess fire protection performance on structural steelwork in accordance with Chinese Standard GB 14907 -2002.
But it wasn't only our products that contributed to the success of the Shanghai Tower project. Our highly trained technical service representatives were available onsite full time supporting the project team with all their technical and application enquiries, making sure the project completion deadlines were met.
We were also the company of choice for the owner, painting applicators and the fabricator on a number of other projects. These include the neighbouring Jinmao Tower, Shanghai Grand Theatre, the Shanghai Bawanren Stadium and Terminal One of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

The 2022 Interwetten Austrian Darts Open was the fourth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2022 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament was held at the Steiermarkhalle, Premstätten from 29 April to 1 May 2022. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Michael van Gerwen entered the event as the defending champion, having defeated Ian White 8–7 in the 2019 final. He successfully defended his title with an 8–5 win over Danny Noppert in the final.

Prize money
The prize money is unchanged from the European Tours of the last 3 years:

 Seeded players who lose in the second round and host nation qualifiers (who qualify automatically as a result of their ranking) who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.

Qualification and format
The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 16 March automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 18 March), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 April), the two highest ProTour ranking Austrian players, two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 28 April), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 18 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 6 March).

Top seed Gerwyn Price and qualifier Adrian Lewis withdrew before the start of the tournament, so Ross Smith was promoted into the seeded positions and two extra places were made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.

Sometimes I look at the list of available components and see stuff that I would really like to use eventually, but they don't apply to what I'm looking for at the moment. It would be nice if there was a "Save for Later" action or something like that. It wouldn't actually download and save them, but put them in a list that you can access from your account. Then it would be quick and easy, so you don't forget about anything and don't have to take the time out of what you're currently working on to download it and try it out.
You can now follow all the components that you want to test it or download and install later.


It's the 13th day of Ramadan. The 13th. It's crazy because for some of us, this month has been great and has led to intense levels of worship and feelings of comfort, while for others, the heart has been stone cold. Do you feel this way? Do you feel like Ramadan isn't going the way that you'd hoped? I'm here to tell you that it's going to be okay. That if you put in the right amount of effort, God Willing your heart will open, and you'll taste the sweetness that Ramadan brings once again. I for one feel that the less focus I put on sustaining my relationship with Allah Azwajjal, the more drawn back I am with the world around me. Yet, regardless, I know that even when I'm feeling low, the cure to my pain is to come back to Him. More so, I know that to cry with ease and feel my heart heal again, I need to turn back to Him with sincerity and hope.
In the book; A journey to God – reflections on the Hikam of Ibn Ata'Illah, he mentions some beautiful ways to engage in the path towards Allah. Essentially, how you can take your first steps to purifying your soul, and making the journey towards Allah Azwajjal beautiful. I have attached some pages from his book and hope that you will find it helpful.


I've been driving since I was 18 years old. During this span, I've pretty much had a very few accidents and been a cautious and careful driver. I guess I could say around 3-5 very minor accidents and most of these accidents were not my fault. Earlier this week though, and for the very first time, I had a parking lot accident where I was at fault. And it was in broad daylight.
I was trying to turn in to a parking slot and miscalculated that I could park in one turn without maneuvering. Unfortunately, I bumped the left car in the rear. When I realized I bumped the car, I was in shock. I immediately put the car in reverse and while pretending that I didn't know what just happened, parked anyway. When I turned off the engine, I looked for any witnesses. I saw a bunch of schoolgirls hanging around Starbucks just across the slot where I parked but didn't seem to notice. I got down from the car and without suspiciously facing the bump, I tried to view it from my rightmost eye view. There was no dent. I only saw a 4 inch red line which obviously came from my car. To make things worse, the car I scratched was white. So it stuck out like a wrong answer marked with a red ballpen in a test paper. I got a white scratch too but didn't mind since I was the one at fault.
I was supposed to photocopy some documents and hang around a bit but because I wanted to move my car away from the parking lot, I was in and out of the mall in less than 5 minutes. When I got back, the car was still there. I immediately left.
I know it was the wrong thing to do. But since it was my first time, I really didn't know what to do. Should I have waited for the owner to arrive ? What if he was going to take a while ? What if he would charge me an arm and a leg for a small paint scratch ? And so I did the only thing I could think of... leave. The owner of the white car, my license plate is.... *C*2** ... you wouldn't think I'd actually leave my license plate here would you ?
A few days ago, I parked in basement parking area of a mall. When I got back, I didn't realize that the guard placed a "No Entry" sign stupidly close to the rear of my car that it was inevitable I would hit it. And I totally didn't notice the sign since it wasn't there when I parked. And so when I backed up, I hit the post from the rear and it left me with a 5 inch dotted yellow line on my bumper. I couldn't argue with the No Entry sign even if I wanted to... it wouldn't talk back.
Ok, I guess I deserved that. Two accidents in a week is a huge deal for me considering my track record. I guess I have to take care more.

FocusPoint Announces Final Closing of Round Hill Music Closes Music Royalty Fund III at $291 Million
Further Validating Music Royalties as Its Own Asset Class
New York, NY, November, 18, 2020 – FocusPoint Private Capital Group ("FocusPoint") is pleased to announce the final closing of Round Hill Music Royalty Fund III, L.P. ("Fund III") at $291 million. Consistent with its predecessor funds, Fund III will focus on taking an institutional approach to investing in royalty streams generated by music copyrights.
Round Hill received strong support from its existing investor base of leading endowments, foundations, and pension funds, while also adding a small number of new institutional investors. FocusPoint served as the exclusive placement agent for North America.
"In light of the challenges we are all facing, we are thankful for the continued support of our existing limited partners and are excited to add a select group of new investors with the closing of this fund," said Josh Gruss, Chief Executive and Founder of Round Hill Music.
"Against the backdrop of the global pandemic and the structural shift of streaming and syncing music has gathered pace and the music publishing industry continues to show strong growth, while also proving resilient in difficult economic environments," Gruss added. "As experienced investors in music publishing, our objective continues to be to provide investors with regular and growing income and capital returns from investment primarily in high quality, music intellectual property."
"We are grateful for the support and confidence investors, both existing and new have placed in this strategy particularly during these unprecedented times," said David Conrod, Chief Executive of FocusPoint. "Music as its own asset class provides meaningful risk-adjusted returns producing predictable, growing, annuity-level, cash flow streams in the form of royalties which are paid quarterly. The long duration nature of the asset ensures sustainable and consistent revenue over the long term and we have also found that music rights also have a low correlation to the returns of most traditional and alternative asset classes," he added.
FocusPoint has assisted and successfully worked with all of Round Hill's capital raising efforts since Round Hill Music Royalty Fund I closed on $209 million in July 2014. Round Hill Music Royalty Fund II closed in December 2017 with $263 million.
Round Hill's holdings include stakes in "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, 20 Motown-era hits, such as "You Can't Hurry Love" and "I Can't Help Myself," as well as six songs by the Beatles, including "I Saw Her Standing There." Since January 2011, Round Hill Music deployed over $650 million, completed 78 music catalog investments, and over 75 investments in administration or co-publishing opportunities. The portfolio contains over 130,000 songs and is diversified across decade and genre and has generated over $150 million in royalty income since inception.

Through its various divisions, Zync, BLB Royalty Administration, Round Hill Nashville, Round Hill Records, Black Hill Records and its Bosshouse Music Library, Round Hill provides a full administrative platform for songwriters and artists that delivers everything from sync licensing, song placements, music production, record label services and transparent, accurate global royalty processing and accounting.

Times Radio today announces that The Sun's award-winning Political Editor Tom Newton Dunn is leaving the newsbrand to join Times Radio as Presenter and Chief Political Commentator. 'TND' will also present shows in the weekly Times Radio schedule, as well as presenting special political shows during major events, such as election nights and the Budget.
Tom has worked for The Sun for 16 years, joining first as Defence Editor in June 2004 before becoming Political Editor in 2009.

Tom is a well known broadcast commentator on politics. He is one of the hosts of BBC Radio 4's The Week in Westminster, a panellist on BBC1's Question Time and Radio 4's Any Questions, and a regular paper reviewer for Sky News and GMB.
Tom said: "It's hugely exciting to be involved in the launch of Times Radio. We hope to do everything a little differently, and give listeners warmth with intelligence. The world of broadcast is a great new challenge that I can't wait to throw myself into.
"Politics will be no less interesting and challenging in the next decade, than it was in the last. I'm looking forward to reporting and presenting on it from the epicentre again."
News UK Chief Executive Rebekah Brooks said: "Tom is one of the sharpest and most respected journalists in Westminster, so I am delighted he is going to be leading Times Radio's political coverage as its chief commentator and as a presenter. He will bring great authority and experience across the station's output."
Tom joins a quality line-up of presenters already announced, including Aasmah Mir and Stig Abell (at breakfast from Monday to Thursday), Luke Jones and Jenny Kleeman (at breakfast Friday to Sunday), Matt Chorley (mid-mornings from Monday to Thursday), John Pienaar (at drive from Monday to Thursday) and Michael Portillo (Friday evening).
Times Radio will bring together the peerless journalistic expertise of The Times and The Sunday Times with the speech radio and podcasting experience of Wireless, the company behind talkSPORT, talkRADIO and Virgin Radio UK.
It will launch this summer and broadcast on DAB, online and via app and smart speakers. The station will be ad break-free, with commercial opportunities for sponsors across the schedule. More presenter names will be announced in the weeks to come.

Uber Self-Driving Car Saw Pedestrian But Still Didn't Stop in Fatal Crash, Investigators Say
Uber Technologies Inc.'s self-driving system detected the woman who was struck and killed by one of the company's autonomous vehicles in March, but the car's automatic braking system was disabled, according to federal safety investigators.
The car's radar and lidar sensors observed the pedestrian about six seconds before impact, according to a preliminary report about the incident released Thursday by the National Transportation Safety Board. The report does not establish probable cause of the collision.
Elaine Herzberg, 49, who was walking her bicycle across the street in Tempe, Arizona, was identified by the sensors first as an unknown object, then as a vehicle and then as a bicycle, the NTSB said. At 1.3 seconds before impact, the system recognized that emergency braking was needed, but Uber disables Volvo's automatic emergency braking system in its SUVs while in autonomous mode to "reduce the potential for erratic behavior," the NTSB said, citing the company.
"The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action," the NTSB wrote in the report. "The system is not designed to alert the operator."
The crash has been a closely watched bellwether for the safety of autonomous cars in development and being tested on streets in multiple states. Uber permanently shut down its self-driving testing in Arizona Wednesday, before the release of the NTSB's findings.


With the increase in 4 X 4's on our roads comes an increase in another method of vehicle personalisation, the wheel cover. We can supply wheelcovers for most makes and sizes of vehicle. They cost £84.79 + vat plus carriage from £8.75 + vat. That's as little as £112.25 inc. vat at the prevailing 20% rate. If you wish to order one, below is our step by step process.
Send us an email confirming your order. This will need to include your name, address and daytime telephone number so we can contact you for payment details. You will also need to tell us your vehicle make, model and wheel size. For example Nissan Patrol 265/45/R16. These details can be found in the vehicle handbook or on the tyre itself.
If you want us to use your logo you will need to send it to us in a size and format suitable to use on a wheelcover, approx. 650mm diameter. If you have your logo in an illustrator format (ai or eps file) that would be best. Otherwise a jpg will do but it will need to be about 2MB in size as a rough guide. We will always let you know if the logo you provide is not going to look right for any reason.
If you want additional text on your design let us know what it is and what font and colour you want us to use. If you choose one from the standard list that comes with microsoft word it should be fine.
We will then email a proof for you to approve prior to production, one set of alterations is included in the price. Once approved the job will go into production. This can take from 3 to 5 days depending on how busy we are.
When your wheelcover is ready to ship we will contact you for the balance of payment. We accept all forms of credit and debit card with the exception of American Express.


The Kirby 10m Naiad is the fastest boat I have driven: 58 knots. That's what a pair of 350hp Yamahas can do for you, but only on the right hull. This hull has a 27deg deadrise, a pair of steps in the bottom, and an inflatable collar; it is a RIB, or rigid inflatable, par excellence.
Naiads are the boat of choice for the Water Police, government departments and a large share of sea rescue groups. And also a few private owners, who obviously like going fast but have another reason according to the builder. They are short of time, and want to be certain that the plan for boating on a given day can be carried out almost regardless of the weather.
That super-sharp bottom and the impact-softening collar have a couple of secret weapons added to them to cope with nasty weather: special seats and special floor. The seats, four of them, are Ullman jockey-style suspension seats that have a reputation as the world's best – and at $5,000 each that is understandable. Between the carpet and the aluminium deck is the other weapon, a fatigue membrane. I can testify that it makes a big difference to comfort.
For want of a better term, the Naiad's layout is bow rider; a small bow cockpit is reached through a door from the cabin, or by aluminium side decks built over the collar. There are lots of handholds to make this safe, including grab rails over the soft top – a close to unique feature. Things to hang onto are important on a rough water boat and the Naiad abounds with them.
The cabin is large and lined, and the two bunks – or storage areas – are bigger than shoreside single beds. Aft of them are a large portable fridge to starboard with a toilet opposite. This is a beauty, featuring an electric vacuum flush (with its own small fresh water container), and a portable sullage tank mounted alongside it. No worries about built-in tanks, and the vacuum system with its minimal water usage means great capacity is not needed.
The review boat was geared up for long weekends of fishing or island visiting, mainly with two to four people aboard, hence the four main seats, the pot winch and the uncluttered cockpit. Alternative layouts could replace two of the seats with a galley unit (still leaving a folding lounge aft), or whatever else you could dream up. These boats are built to order, and they are fitted out to suit the owner.
Fishing and pot pulling might seem an odd occupation for a boat surrounded by a soft, inflated collar, but Fisheries Department Naiads are constantly pulling pots. Kirby fit reinforcement to all the wear points, and no one has had any problems.
Other occupations are possible with this same layout. Ten passengers could get comfortable for day trips. They could have a fifteen-minute crossing for lunch at Rottnest, or set up tables and chairs for a cold lunch anywhere. It is also a superb dive boat, with storage for loads of scuba gear in the cabin, space for gearing up, excellent water entry over the sides, and a fresh water shower after peeling off.
The performance, of course, is what makes the Naiad extra special, and my mouth probably watered when I took over the wheel and the throttles (especially them). We had about a 0.8m sea, which was completely ignorable and let me push the throttles to their stops.
Throttle and gear change controls are electronic, so no chance of graunching into gear, and no sudden death throttle movements. Just lots of power that came on progressively – and got us up to speed very quickly indeed. A lot of the sensation you might expect was absent. The motors were quiet; the hull just about silent, and not the slightest jolt penetrated the seat or fatigue membrane.
The sensations came on in the high-speed turns. Put this boat into a turn with more Gs than a centrifuge and it just hangs on. The Ullman seats let us hang on too, and far more conveniently than using our hands. Set aside the serious fishing or day cruising – people will want to buy this just for fun. If you do can I be your friend?
A 10m Naiad built for the Water Police won outright the WA boat of the year in 2009. It did it pretty easily too for a combination of exact tuning for its purpose, quality of equipment, build and finish, attention to detail, and of course for its performance. The review 10m is right up there or past it. Just one example of thoughtfulness: how many boats set out drink holders in pairs, one each for stubby holder or not?


We got up bright and early Sunday morning and headed to Magic Kingdom. Jackson wanted to see them "unlock the park" so we were there when they opened the gates.
Jackson and Brylee watching all the characters ride in on the train and unlock the park!
Brylee was all excited about the characters she was just a waving at them!
The first ride they wanted to ride was Space Mountain... so we headed to the back of the park so we could ride that ride first!
They also "surfed" with Stitch while over there too!
Then it was off to ride the tea cups!
and see Alice and White Rabbit too!
we caught the Celebrate Parade in front of the castle!
After lunch we went and rode one of my favorite rides... It's A Small World!!!
It was about parade time now... I was so excited to see the new parade... Brylee's BFF Ella and her family were in Disney at the same time so we were able to hook up and watch the parade with them. All the kiddos sitting on the front row ready for the parade!
And of course Elsa and Anna were on one of the floats and I thought the girls were going to wave there little arms off.... they were so excited to see them!
The Whole Gang at Disney World!!!
All of us in front of the castle too!
Jackson and Brylee in front of the castle!
After riding more rides we hooked back up with Heather and the girls and went through the Princess "Hall of Fame" to see the princesses and get pictures and signatures.
The castle is so pretty at night!!!
We saw the "show" with the songs and images on the castle for the first time!
We were all exhausted by this point! Poor Jackson was done he was ready to go! We opened the doors to the park and stayed there the whole time riding rides, watching parades, eating, and hugging characters and we closed the park down too! It was a long day but it was our only day at Magic Kingdom so we had to get it all in! The weather was BEAUTIFUL... like HOT sun shining and we all got sunburned! But I was so glad to see the sun and have warm weather I did not care! :) It was a fabulous day!!! I am a huge kid when it comes to Disney!!! It truly is the happiest place on earth! I am ready to go back!!!
God love these poor babies.... they played hard!

Бенедикт Пустынник (Святой Бенедикт или Святой Бенядик; ; умер в ) — святой (день памяти — 17 июля), первый словацкий мученик, ученик святого Сворада и покровитель Нитрянской епархии.

Биография

О жизни Бенедикта известно из Легенды о пустынниках Свораде-Андрее и Бенедикте, написанной поэтом и писателем Мавром, жившим на территории современной Словакии в XI веке.

Бенедикт сначала проживал в Зоборском монастыре, а позже отшельником в пещере в Скалке-при-Тренчине, где в 1034 году умер от травм, причинённых ему при нападении разбойников. Его мёртвое тело разбойники бросили в реку Ваг. В Легенде указано, что после его смерти на берег реки прилетал большой орёл. Поэтому сплавщики плотов, проплывавшие по реке Ваг рядом с этим местом, стали считать Бенедикта своим покровителем и защитником. В 1224 году нитрянский епископ Якоб основал на этом месте в честь святого Бенедикта бенедиктинский монастырь.

Бенедикт был причислен к лику святых в 1083 году папой Григорием VII благодаря стараниям венгерского короля Ласло I.

Память святых Андрея-Сворада и Бенедикта по литургическому календарю Римско-католической церкви отмечается в Словакии 17 июля.

Храмы в честь святых Андрея-Сворада и Бенедикта можно встретить в Кисуцком Лесковце, Нитре, Радуостке и Скалке-на-Ваге.

Acrilan®
[Solutia, Inc. (formerly Monsanto)] A registered trademark for an acrylonitrile-vinyl acetate copolymer fiber that is commonly used in textiles. Acrilan® was first produced in 1949 by Chemstrand Corp. After slight changes in the formulation and manufacturing procedures, Acrilan® was first commercially manufactured in 1954. It is an Acrylic fiber copolymerized with less than 15% vinyl acetate groups. Acrilans are noted for softness, strength and wrinkle-resistant properties. Acrilan® is used for clothing, carpets, drapes, upholstery and laminates. Its wear resistance is better than that of wool, but generally greatly inferior to that of nylon or Terylene. It is unaffected by mildew, molds, moth and carpet beetle larvae.
In 2003, Solutia went into bankruptcy and reorganized. The Acrilan production plant closed in 2020.
Soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene carbonate, and nitriles.
Insoluble in ethanol, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and ligroin.
Density = 1.17 g/ml
Decomposes before it melts. Sticky at 245 C.

The European Commission has given the go-ahead for member states to sue China for counterfeit trademarks despite ongoing negotiations over a bilateral food and drink deal.
The move, reported by Euractiv.com, follows news that eight EU countries have joined forces to file a lawsuit against China over 25 counterfeit trademarks that are falsely marketing food as being of EU origin and which are protected in the EU.
The eight countries – Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, Hungary and Romania – are seeking to annul Chinese-registered trademarks for 'Greek feta' cheese, 'Spanish' olive oils and 'Italian' balsamic vinegar where the products have not been produced in their designated European areas.
The lawsuit comes as the EC and China negotiate a bilateral deal that aims to protect producers from unfair competition while at the same time helping to encourage demand for high-quality products, particularly among China's growing middle class.
As part of the deal, both China and the EC have agreed a draft list of 200 mutually recognised geographical indications – 100 from each side – which designate certain food products with a certified geographic origin to highlight quality and authenticity and allow premium price tags.
Geographical Indications are central to the EU's food quality schemes.
Greek feta, Spanish olive oil and Italian balsamic vinegar are among the geographical indications (GIs) currently listed in the EU-China agreement, which is expected to be signed later this year.
Under the negotiations these GIs would be protected in each territory against "imitations and usurpations", the EC said.
However, according to Euractiv.com, "Brussels has said it will not seek to remove existing counterfeit trademarks from the Chinese market under the future bilateral agreement".
Although Greece has said in legal documents that while China has agreed to recognise EU geographical indications, the country is refusing to cancel Chinese-registered trademarks of falsely labelled products purporting to be EU-produced.
It is for this reason that legal action was required otherwise "Chinese owners will have the right either to produce [products] domestically or to import homonymous counterfeit products from the whole of the world," Just-Food.com reported Greece as saying.
Speaking to Euractiv.com, an EC spokesperson said the EC had no objection to European GI producers taking legal action to cancel counterfeit trademarks in China "as part of a normal procedure under trademark law".
The spokesperson added: "The Commission is confident that the future agreement will bring significant benefits to European GI producers. Even where there are existing trademarks, European GIs can still be protected in China because China, like the EU, allows coexistence between an earlier trademark and a later GI."
The GIs chosen by the EC took into account GI market volume in China and the potential risk of counterfeiting, Euractiv.com reported.
Some of the European products listed with geographical indications include Champagne, Cognac, Parmigiano Reggiano, Roquefort and Scotch Whisky and includes 26 GIs from Italy, 25 from France, 12 from Spain, and six from Portugal and Greece. Meanwhile, Chinese products include Yantai Apple, Hengxian Jasmine Tea, Panjin Rice and Baise Mango.
Ten GIs from both sides are already protected under EU and Chinese legislation based on a decade of co-operation prior to the current negotiations.
The EC describes geographical indications as one of the great successes of European agriculture, with more than 3300 EU names registered and 1250 non-EU names protected within the EU.
EU GIs are worth €54.3bn and account for 15 per cent of total EU food and drinks exports.

Down On The Farm: July 21
A recap of the minor league action.
By Michael Valancius Jul 21, 2013, 7:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Down On The Farm: July 21
Triple-A Durham Bulls (63-38)
Some poor pitching led to the Bull's 9-6 defeat on Saturday. After the Bulls took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, Pawtucket countered with two runs in the third, three in the second, and one in the fifth to blow the game open. Though Durham scored four in the eighth inning, they failed to compete the comeback against Brandon Lyon. Merrill Kelly was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs. CJ Riefenhauser allowed three runs in relief. Brandon Guyer and Tim Beckham had two hits while Leslie Anderson hit his 13th home run of the year.
Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (49-49)
Enny Romero overcame serious command issues to lead the Biscuits over the BayBears by the score of 4-3. Despite walking five batters and allowing five hits in five innings, Romero only allowed one run. Mayo Acosta had three hits while Cameron Seitzer and Mikie Mahtook chipped in two apiece.
Advanced Class-A Charlotte Stone Crabs (45-49)
In the first game of a doubleheader, the surging Stone Crabs won by the score of 1-0. Neither team scored a run until the 13th inning, when Kes Carter singled Jake Hager home. It was part of a 2-3 effort on the afternoon for Carter. Felipe Rivero, Matt Ramsey, Shay Crawford, and Kenny Linsky combined for the 13 inning scoreless performance.
The second game went into extra innings and was not finished by the time of the recap. Click here for the box score.
Class-A Bowling Green Hot Rods (58-39)
In a game where they failed to make the most of their opportunities, the Hot Rods edged by the Snappers 4-3. The Hot Rods combined for 14 hits but left six runners on base and grounded into two double plays. Jeff Ames allowed three runs in six innings while Jose Molina pitched three scoreless frames.
Class-A Short Season Hudson Valley Renegades (20-13)
After falling into a 4-0 hole, the Renegades rallied to win the game by the score of 7-5. Offensively, Hudson Valley totaled 11 hits, with Granden Goetzman a home run shy of the cycle. Aaron Griffin ran into trouble early, allowing five runs while not making it out of the fifth inning.
Rookie Princeton Rays (6-22)
The struggles continued for the Rays as their lackluster offense failed to make up for their mediocre pitching in a 5-3 defeat. Jacob Faria pitched superbly as the starter, going six innings of one run ball with two hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts. However, Edgar Gomez allowed four runs in relief. The Princeton Rays offense tallied only one hit.
Rookie GCL Rays (10-15)
A poor start from Grayson Garvin cost the Rays in their 4-1 loss. Garvin, in a rehab stint, failed to escape the first inning, allowing two runs. Alexander Simon and Taylor Hawkins were the only two batters to reach base multiple times.
Star of the Day: His team lost, but it was quite the night for Jacob Faria.
Goat of the Day: Princeton is a mess right now.

Diosmin and Hesperidin are used widely in Europe for decreasing the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins, and also hemmorhoids. Hesperidin is the predominant flavonoid in lemons and oranges. The peel and membranous parts of these fruits have the highest hesperidin concentrations. Hesperidin is classified as a citrus bioflavonoid. Hesperidin, Diosmin and other flavonoids thought to reduce capillary permeability and to have anti-inflammatory action were collectively known as vitamin P. These substances, however, are not vitamins and are no longer referred to, except in older literature, as vitamin P.

Q: Vue.js - when creating new Vue File pass automatically name attribute I am searching for a way when creating new Vue.js files to pass automatically the name attribute.
For example, when I create a new Vue file with name Test.vue, to generate this automatically:
<template></template>

<script>
export default {
    name: 'Test',
};
</script>

<style></style>

To add the name attribute based on the file name creation.
Is there any automated way in order to stop adding this manually every time I create Vue file?
Thanks!

A: I would suggest you take a look at this: Custom snippets in VS Code. I do not know a way how to invoke a script on creation of a file, but you could choose a keybinding like "default" which would create a snippet as you wish.
To my knowledge, it would even be possible to set where the cursor will end up, so that you would still have to type the filename manually, but it would immensely speed up your workflow.
You may find more information on this StackOverflow post, or take a look at the VS Code documentation to this topic

One of the main tasks of the SSM is to re-organize and integrate the existing national industry so as to satisfy defence industry requirements, encourage new enterprises and channel them according to the integration and requirements, seek possibilities for foreign capital and technology contribution, guide enterprises and make plans for state participation in this respect.
Over the last 21 years since its establishment, and as a result of dedicated efforts, the Undersecretariat for Defence Industries has made real achievements in the creation of a modern national defence infrastructure in Turkey, with highly successful results in certain vital areas. Key defence industrial institutions have been established to meet the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces through local sources, each of which fill an important gap in their scope of activity.
Turkish defense industries are now able to manufacture authentic products and have a wide research and development programme in which main supporter is TÜBİTAK .
As a result of SSM projects now Turkey have existence of a defense industry. There are very sufficient sub-system producers, firms in Teknokent, small and medium-sized enterprises, research institutions and universities.
The latest U.N. figures show Turkey, China and the Czech Republic joining the list of the world's top exporters of small arms, which is led by the United States.
Turkey has created its first prototype of the High Powered Laser Weapons System. The system, built by engineers, was tested, and the results were an absolute success. However, while Turkey is celebrating this victory in its military sector, neighboring countries are looking with a suspicious eye. Over the past couple of years, Turkey has been beefing up its military's muscle to be strong and resilient.
In January 2015, it was announced that Turkey had successfully tested its first prototype of its High Powered Laser Weapons System. The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, TÜBİTAK, carried out the tests in December 2014. Just a year ago, research and development started on the project, with a budget of $120 million.
More advanced unmanned aerial vehicles, being named the Anka, have been promised in the coming years by the Turkish government however, majors delays have been seen along the way. Since the early 2000s, Turkish engineers have been hard at work on the Anka but no solid release date has been mentioned, according to media source Hurriyet Daily. Officials of Tusas Turkish Aerospace Industries have announced that the organization is trying its best to achieve a release date between 2016-2018. If successful, this could mean not only a stronger defense for Turkey, but prospective buyers from other countries could wish to get their hands on the top technology Turkey has to offer.
It was reported on in February of this year that Turkey's military will go ahead with the purchasing of a $3.5 billion air defense system from China. Even though this system is not compatible with the NATO air defense network, the defense minister of Turkey has announced that the deal will still go through as panned. Turkey's Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz said that the system, which will be bought by using "foreign financing," will be "integrated with the national system for Turkey's defense and will be used without integrating with NATO," according to online media sources.

1st Lieut., Co. K, 3d Vermont Inf.
Born in Vermont, Feb., 1846.
The Vermont Brigade, having received orders to attack Petersburg, moved promptly on the morning of April 2d at the given signal. After passing over about half the distance, the advancing column was exposed to a well-directed musketry fire from the front and artillery fire from forts on either side, which completely enfiladed the line and caused it to waver. This was the most critical moment throughout the entire engagement; day was just beginning to dawn, and very soon the enemy would be able to discover the precise position and movements of the assaulting column. They had been apprised of the point of attack and were apparently beginning to appreciate its importance, as they were hastening to meet it with all the strength at their command. The wavering of the troops was only momentary, for there arose at the head of the column Lieutenant Gardner C. Hawkins, acting adjutant of the Third Vermont Infantry, who led his men, cheering them on, until he nearly reached the enemy's works, when he fell, pierced by a ball which passed through his head. Following the example of the brave lieutenant, the troops again pushed on with determination. The remaining ground was passed over under a most withering fire of musketry, officers and men vying with one another in the race for the works, and losing all organization in their eagerness and enthusiasm to reach them. The line of abatis was swept away like cobwebs, and the men swarmed over the works with yells and cheers that struck terror to the fleeing rebels.
Captain Charles G. Gould, of Company H, Fifth Vermont Infantry, was the first man of the Sixth Corps to mount the enemy's works. His regiment was in the first line of the brigade, and in the charge he was far in advance of his command. Upon mounting the works he received a severe bayonet wound in the face and was struck several times with clubbed muskets, but bravely stood his ground, killing with his sabre the man who bayoneted him, and retired from the works only after his comrades had come to his assistance and routed the enemy from their lines.
Born at Cavendish. Vt., Dec. 28, 1840.
After crossing the works the brigade re-formed and again pushed forward with all the zeal of a victorious army, passing through thickets, swamps and pine woods in pursuit of the enemy, who were being pressed so closely that they had scarcely time to fire a shot. Again all organization was lost, and every man considered himself a host. Singly, or in squads of three or four, they charged upon whatever obstructions came in their paths.
Major William J. Sperry, in command of the Sixth Vermont Infantry, assisted by a few men, captured two field guns and turned them upon the scattering rebels. Being unable to procure friction primers, the pieces were discharged by firing a musket into the vent of each. In this manner twelve rounds were fired into the enemy when a section of artillery came up and the guns were turned over to its commander.

Cayucos, Chinese tourists and basketball
Dell Franklin's jump shot
Editor's Note: The following series, "Life in Radically Gentrifying Cayucos by the Sea," to be posted biweekly includes the notes, thoughts, and opinions of an original American voice: author Dell Franklin.
By DELL FRANKLIN
I was down by the pier after walking on the beach with Wilbur, and, near the bathrooms, as a Chinese family of father, daughter and mother congregated studying photos they'd taken, Wilbur, off the leash, nosed in among them, surprising them. The daughter, who was around 20, backing away but then stiffly petting him.
The Chinese I've come across in town are generally indifferent around dogs, many stepping away, wanting no part of them. But this time it was different, as the father, a short stocky man wearing glasses, petted Wilbur and then smiled at me and said, "Your dog, he is old, yes?"
"He is old," I said, trying to corral Wilbur and put him back on his leash. "He's thirteen. We're both old men."
"You are old?" the man said, facing me, still smiling.
"I am 76," I explained. "That is old."
With camera in hand, he raised his arms and doubled up his fists and said, "But you are strong, not like old man."
"Yes," I said, "because I still play basketball."
"You play basketball?" He was shocked. His wife and daughter looked on, smiling, too.
"Yes. I play with older men like myself, but I'm the oldest."
He appraised me. He had a great smile, spontaneous, the eyes not betraying the humor, the appreciation to relate, to connect, engage, even embrace.
"In China," he said, enthusiastically, "basketball is big, very, very big."
"Yes, because of Kobe."
"Yes." His smile vanished, his head dropped just a bit, as Kobe had recently died in a plane crash.
"Very sad. In China, everybody love Kobe. Kobe very, very big."
"And Yao Ming."
"Yes! Yao. Very, very big man." He laughed.
"If I ever go to China," I told him, "I will not go to cultural sites right away. I will try and find a park and play basketball with the Chinese boys and men. Play outdoors under the sun, or find a gym."
Now he was looking at me like I might be a little off, not right in the head.
"I will be the only white American playing a game with a bunch of Chinese. That would be fun. That would be a great way to meet people and make friends and find out about your country."
"Yes!" he said, as his wife and daughter, patient and quiet, continued to look on. "Ha, ha, ha."
By this time, old Wilbur was sprawled beside me, as always when I run into friends and visit.
"Basketball brings everybody together," I went on. "People from all over, every country, they play basketball together. It brings them together, whether they play with or against each other."
We kept talking. He felt Cayucos was beautiful. They were heading north to Hearst Castle. I told him to walk along the cove at San Simeon, and hike up onto the walking path that led to the point, where one could look down both ends of the coast. I recommended places in the Big Sur. He listened intently. His wife and daughter checked out photos on their smart phones.
We finally ended our conversation and shook hands, and he and his family left, possibly to a traveling RV, as he'd mentioned he couldn't find a camping ground with facilities in San Simeon, though I was sure there was one.
After he was gone, I thought about how so many of my relationships, some fleeting, small, large, and lasting, were forged while playing with and against men on basketball courts.
I can't count the number of guys I repeatedly run into in Cayucos that I've played with and against at the outdoor Cayucos Middle School courts or the Morro Bay gym since they were teenagers back in the late 1980s and 1990s and 2000s.
My friend Jersey Mike, formerly known as Coach A at Atascadero Middle School, and I often traveled to San Francisco specifically to play hoops at Moscone Park, the YMCA, or other parks and gyms. Just two guys looking for a game, and almost always we made friends afterwards, and sometimes met these dudes in our favorite bars to booze it up and find out about each other outside of the game we just played.
Would this friendly, husky Chinaman, who was probably around 50, and I have bonded so quickly and actually liked each other had I not mentioned basketball? Maybe, maybe not.
I have played basketball in other parts of this country and in other countries, always carrying my sneakers, just in case. Because I worked and worked to become a respectable player who has a bounce to his step and a swagger any time I enter a foreign gym, I've been able to form immediate relationships, a camaraderie, as if belonging to a worldwide, nameless fraternity. It is like a password into a secret realm of riches.
I would love to play a pick up game of basketball in a park right in the middle of Beijing. Even at 76.
The Chinese, they seem like the kind of folks who would let me play.

Basketball ah what a great game. Years back I remember playing with a scruffy looking guy named Dell on the outdoor courts at the school next to the ocean. He had a pretty jump shot, passed the ball really well, and played hatchet man defense. But he was slow as a snail like he had two left feet. Said he wore Converse shoes because he could buy two left shoes for the same price as a normal pair.

I enjoyed this piece. Thumbs up.

Struck up a conversation with a Chinese lady yesterday at Home Depo she was buying a pallet load of mask to ship to China ,, some intended for her family and friends ,the rest are to be sold ….very ingenious
Hummmp69
How is that ingenious? One can't simply buy a pallet of anything and ship it to China.
Sounds like you were being sized up for a con, or worse. TREASON!!

'People's Christmas Tree' brings holiday spirit to Capitol
12/06/17 6:20 AM By Daniel Enoch
KEYWORDS bruce ward capitol Choose outdoors Christmas trees jon tester Montana people's christmas tree Ridley brandmayr Sonny Perdue
After a journey of more than 3,000 miles, the "People's Christmas Tree" is about to come back to life on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
An 11-year old boy named Ridley Brandmayr from Bozeman, Montana, will throw a switch to light up the 79-foot tall Engelmann spruce Wednesday evening before a crowd that's expected to include Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, who represents the state that provided the tree, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Tony Tooke, chief of the U.S. Forest Service, which has been providing the tree for almost 50 years. Festivities begin at 5 p.m.
"It really is a fun ceremony," said Bruce Ward, president of Choose Outdoors, the Denver-based non-profit that worked closely with the U.S. Forest Service to bring the tree to Washington. "It really helps to bring the Christmas spirit to DC."
The journey began in the tiny town of Yaak, Montana, within the Kootenai National Forest, near where parts of the Oscar-winning film, "the Revenant," were filmed. That's where the tree, called "Beauty of the Big Sky," was harvested in early November.
Ward, who helped USFS find private-sector sponsors to defray the cost of moving the majestic evergreen, traveled with the tree through "whistlestops" in Montana, where thousands of children turned out with their homemade ornaments to decorate the tree. They also signed holiday greetings on the giant banner that hung from the side of the semi-trailer that carried the tree on its odyssey, which also featured stops in North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri and Kentucky.

By early this week, the tree was all ready to be illuminated, crowned with a five-foot tall eight-pointed star, made of copper, as a nod to Montana's rich copper mining tradition. It also features a representation of Montana's state flower, the bitterroot.
Ward noted that the lighting ceremony, which is open to the public, is also meant to call attention to the important role the U.S. Forest Service and its 30,000 employees play in managing activities – logging, grazing, recreation – in the more than 150 national forests.
"The Forest Service does a fantastic job," said Ward, who's been involved with bringing the Capitol Christmas Tree to Washington since 2012. "And that's not just with the People's Christmas tree," he said, "but all year long."

The fully remastered, complete second year of No Such Thing As A Fish, plus a bonus filmed episode!
The award-winning No Such Thing As A Fish podcast has been running for over four years now, but everyone knows Year 2 (episodes 53-104) was really when they peaked.
Here, on a USB disguised as a cassette tape (feel free to try it in your cassette player though, just for laughs)*, you can own 52 episodes of nerdy, fact-filled, yeti-addled joy, as well as an exclusive, never-before-seen episode filmed at the Fish offices in Covernt Garden.
*No Such Thing As A Fish will not be held responsible for broken cassette players.
1. The cassette is a thing of beauty and brings back happy memories of loading an old C60 or C90 into the tape recorder. Brilliant looking!
Fantastic fish as always. If you want to find out information to almost impress/annoy your friends. By starting with the sentence "did you know?" Then this is the tape for you. Plus an extra never to be released anywhere else content. This product provides it all. Genuinely a quite interesting,see what I done there, amazing product. Can't wait for the year 3 8track.
First of all I've loved this podcast since it's pilot. It's funny and informative which is a perfect combination !
The design of this is really cool too. If you're a fan of QI or just interesting facts in general then you'll love this. I know I do.
I only regret that there aren't more Fish sticks yet!
I really love the podcast and have listened to almost every episode twice now. It is something that always helps me relax after work. I love buying the two first years because I listen to them so much it feels good to support the fish so they can keep making more.
Hey, we'll get another one in the post to you next week. Apologies that it didn't work. We check them all as they leave us but sometimes a bump in transit can knock a chip loose etc.


Joining the dots of your customers' experience to elevate their loyalty status.
Customer Experience Management is the strategic process of seamlessly managing your relationship with your customers across multiple touch points, all to drive higher levels of loyalty from them. In essence, this translates into providing what your customer wants, delivered when and how they want it.
In practice, the process is much more complex, involving multiple channels, multiple products or services, and multiple touch points, all delivered in a completely integrated way. This is essential if you are to translate your customers into true advocates for your brand – the ultimate test of loyalty.
At Chilli Pepper, we put strategic thinking at the heart of everything we do, and nowhere is this more evident than in helping you to define and refine your customer experiences by developing world class customer journeys and customer experience strategy and then measuring the impact of this on your customers' loyalty and your company's bottom line.
The process starts by carrying out a Cross Functional Customer Experience Workshop, which helps to remove operational silos and allows you to map out logical customer journeys across all of your touch points.
We focus strongly on your core customer segments, their behaviour, their functional and emotional needs, and their motivations. On top of this, we add the customer demands and expectations of each, and identify how you are performing against them.
We then stress test the customer journeys by analysing data across all of your channels and mapping them to each customer touch point – turning the data into customer insights which clearly highlight what is working and what is not.
The output is a detailed and focussed customer journey map which incorporates your business' aspirations as to where you want your customer journeys to improve, what you need to do to make it happen and the customer insights that have led you to the conclusion.
Keeping customers at the heart of your improved customer experience is imperative to success, so we stress test the customer journeys with your customers to identify where they see potential areas of improvement.
Gaining true customer understanding and expectations that we can draw insights from means that you will be investing your time, effort and money into the areas that will have the biggest impact on your customers – and your business.
This important step also helps us to distinguish the important from the unimportant from a customer's point of view, which results in clear direction for your improved Customer Experience Strategy.
We develop the optimum Customer Experience (CX) Strategy for your business and your customers. It will clearly outline the issues, impact, opportunity and enhancements that need to be made, helping you to see where you need to focus your change efforts, to ensure maximum impact.
The CX Strategy captures the detail of the ideal customer journey, along with providing strategic guidelines that enable you to roll out the improved Customer Experience with maximum adherence to its strategic core, while also ensuring that everyone in your organisation clearly understands their role in this complex but critical process.
As a result, we highlight the changes that will be required within your organisation – across all departments – so that you have a clear idea of the level of support that you will require from each business area.
Most notably, we build a business case to support your CX Strategy, highlighting the investment that will be required and the return on investment that your business can expect as a result.
We believe that metrics are the key to success in developing effective CX Strategies and that if it can't be measured, it can't be managed.
We therefore invest a huge amount of time in delivering built-in measurability for you, so that you can proactively measure the combination of metrics that track your customer experience performance, e.g. Voice of Customer, Net Promoter Scores and Customer Satisfaction Scores.
We then gather the critical insights that are used to refine and evolve your customer experiences to drive higher levels of loyalty from your customers.
The actual execution of Customer Experience Strategies involves the entire organisation, so we help you in two ways – via a hands-on, day-to-day implementation, or as a Strategic Experience Lead.
A great customer experience requires engaged employees at every level of the organisation. Leadership can set direction and provide tools and processes, but employees must be on board from the outset. This is particularly important as you launch your improved customer experience initiatives. As a result, Chilli Pepper provides hands-on implementation support to help you implement each element of your CX Strategy.
We also provide comprehensive training for your employees, making sure that implementing the enhanced CX Strategy will help you gain your customers' loyalty throughout the entire customer journey.
We can also act as a Strategic Experience Lead, ensuring that all parties involved stay on strategy and never lose sight of your strategic objectives.
In effect, we act as 'keepers of the flame' in terms of staying true to the thinking that underpins the overall strategy, ensuring that day-to-day issues are never allowed compromise your overriding Customer Experience vision and strategy.
