As a member of the European Union (EU), with an advantageous location in Europe, a relatively low-cost structure and a well-qualified labour force, Czech Republic is an economic rock in the continent's centre. Real GDP growth peaked in 2017, but will remain solid over the coming years and outperform the wider EU.
As a member of the European Union (EU), with an advantageous location in Europe, a relatively low-cost structure and a well-qualified labour force, Czech Republic is an economic rock in the continent's centre. Real GDP growth peaked in 2017, experts say, but will remain solid over the coming years and outperform the wider EU, making it a promising destination for business and foreign trade.
The country of 11 million, which has Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland as its neighbours, is a highly developed and industrialized economy in Central Europe. Its strong industrial tradition dates to the 19th century, when Bohemia and Moravia were the industrial heartland of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Czech Republic has a well-educated population and a well-developed infrastructure. The principal industries are motor vehicles, machine-building, iron and steel production. Due to its ideal location from a logistics point of view, Czech Republic is well-placed for the distribution of goods to Western, Central and Eastern European countries.
According to a report from financial services firm Santander, the automobile industry is the backbone of trade, both for imports and exports, and car and spare part manufacturing accounting for nearly 20% of Czech exports. Machinery is another major source of Czech exports. Vehicles and spare parts are also among major imports, followed by data processing machines, telecommunication devices and medicine.
Germany is Czech Republic's major trading partner, receiving nearly a third of its exports and supplying a quarter of its imports. Slovakia is in second place, followed by Poland, France and United Kingdom. Becoming a member of the EU has allowed the Czech Republic to enter the Common Market and solidify its position as a low-cost production base.
The country now accounts for 80% of its trade with OECD countries (80% of which with the EU). Several agreements facilitate trade with neighbouring countries. Exports grew to a five-year high of USD 202.3 billion in 2018, against USD 184.7 billion for imports—and the country has sustained this strong foreign trade position.
To cement its strong position as an industrialised economy with strong foreign trade credentials, Czech Republic also makes it simple to transfer goods around the country and indeed the region. The country may be landlocked, but it has among the densest railway network in the world (over 122 metres of track per kilometre), has 56,000 km of roadways and its capital Prague has an airport that handled 17 million passengers and 82,000 tons of cargo.
"For the last few decades, the Czech Republic has built a strong and diversified economy with a foreign trade surplus," says Jirí Ptácek, Country Manager, ECU Worldwide Czech Republic. "Recognizing the inherent strengths of this country's economic fundamentals, we plan to further leverage our presence through ECU Worldwide Czech Republic and build a strong case for our NVOCC services in the country and region," he continues. ECU Worldwide hasn't had an easy ride in the region—it has bested strong competition in the market and surmounted both pricing pressure and high-quality offerings from rivals.
"Recognising the potential in the region, we have been an early and aggressive investor in setting up and expanding its logistics capabilities. Backed by efficient, hassle-free cargo transportation, a global network operating via more than 300 offices in over 160 countries, along with local expertise and expert professionals to help with documentation and customs formalities, we are ideally placed to tap this opportunity," says Thomas Heydorn, Regional CEO – Germany, CNE and Scandinavia, ECU Worldwide.
ECU Worldwide's Czech Republic unit is responsible for the Czech and neighbouring Slovakia market with 15 million inhabitants across both countries. The Port of Hamburg in Germany is a gateway to these landlocked countries with a developed rail/road connection from port to hinterland. There is, as yet, plenty of scope to increase ECU Worldwide's market share across these two countries.
To maximise the potential from this market, ECU Worldwide Czech Republic offers short sea services and freight services. It has an experienced staff that is capable of handling IMO and veterinary shipments, offering the full scope of logistics services (door – door deliveries, customs clearance, packing, labelling, etc.), backed by a strong global network and e-services. ECU Worldwide Czech Republic's worldwide Less than Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) export volumes are also growing thanks to its professional and experienced staff.
There are opportunities opening up in short sea FCL export business to United Kingdom after Brexit and ECU Worldwide Czech Republic is already geared up to offer this service to customers.
Always staying a step ahead of the competition and persevering to deliver the best services with excellence, ECU Worldwide Czech Republic has been and continues to help businesses in the region broaden their horizons and tap into newer markets around the globe.
Advantageous location in Europe, a relatively low-cost structure and a well-qualified labour force, make Czech Republic an attractive trade destination.
Due to its ideal location from a logistics point of view, Czech Republic is well-placed for the distribution of goods to Western, Central and Eastern European countries.
Germany is Czech Republic's major trading partner, receiving nearly a third of its exports and supplying a quarter of its imports.

2019: Portugal world's third most peaceful country – Sydney, AU
Portugal was ranked the world's third most peaceful country by the Global Peace Index 2019, after Iceland and New Zealand. Among European countries, Portugal is second after Iceland.
Iceland remains the most peaceful country in the world, a position it has held since 2008. It is joined at the top of the index by New Zealand, Portugal, Austria and Denmark.
According to the 13th Annual Global Peace Index (GPI), a report prepared by the Institute for Economy and Peace with headquarters in Sydney, Europe remains the most peaceful region in the world, registering a slight improvement, and the Middle East region and North Africa is still the least peaceful.
The Global Peace Index ranks 163 countries and is led by Iceland and New Zealand, with Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan and Yemen at the bottom.
For the first time, the GPI 2019 includes research on climate change and peace. An estimated 971 million people live in areas with high or very high exposure to climate hazards, putting them at risk for both extreme weather events and breakdowns in peacefulness in the coming decades.

Westconnex latest attempt to ram through a thoroughly discredited freeway scheme
If Duncan Gay thinks that mortgaging NSW for decades to come to build the world's largest underground tollway system is a great idea, he's ludicrously out of touch.
By Gavin Gatenby
Updated November 24, 2014 — 1.30pm first published at 12.15am
Duncan Gay should get out more if he really believes Sydneysiders are overjoyed about WestConnex and that "our city is on the cusp of another quantum leap in growth" and that in the face of this "we can be crippled by timidity or inspired by action".
If he thinks that mortgaging the state for decades to come to build the world's largest underground tollway system is a great idea, he's ludicrously out of touch.
Freeways contribute to the Los Anglisation of Sydney.
The idea that WestConnex will somehow, finally, "unclog" Sydney flies in the face of the fact that 40 years of motorway construction and little new public transport infrastructure has steadily achieved the opposite.
WestConnex is just the latest attempt to ram through a thoroughly discredited radial freeway scheme first unveiled in 1945. Planned during World War II by the Department of Main Roads, it was shoe-horned into the ill-fated 1948 County of Cumberland Plan (CCP). The CCP aimed to create a compact city and to preserve, within the existing urban area, open space for the future. It was intended that a broad "Green Belt" on the edge of the city's then outer suburbs would preserve valuable agricultural land and restrict urban sprawl.
From the get-go, the progressive compact city concept was comprehensively subverted by the freeway proposals it incorporated. They created tremendous pressure for new land releases for low-density fringe suburbs. The DMR had routed their corridors as much as possible through existing open space, and in order to achieve the Holy Grail of expressways straight into the CBD, they intended to bulldoze great swathes of the old medium-density inner suburbs.
The scale of the planned land-take was breathtaking. With patience and stealth, the DMR acquired property along its routes through Pyrmont, Glebe, Annandale, Leichhardt and out to Strathfield. Ultimo was to be half-obliterated for a gigantic interchange where the Southern and Western expressways would collide. A third of Chippendale and Darlington was to go. To the east, a strip a city block wide was to have been cleared from Woolloomooloo to Moore Park. Cleveland Street would have lost all the properties on its northern side.
WestConnex is an 11th-hour bid to finally implement this scheme, but underground, with counter-productive effects and at crippling expense. And it comes allied with an even older and more discredited concept. Whereas the US experience gave us freeways that turbocharged horizontal urban sprawl, the WestConnex Delivery Authority, Urban Growth NSW and the developers want to give us freeway-based vertical sprawl, an idea first advanced 90 years ago by the French Modernist architect Le Corbusier. His "Radiant City" proposal would have levelled much of historic Paris and replaced it with a regular grid of 60-storey apartment towers, linked by eight-lane freeways. The WestConnex plan, in lockstep with the "urban activation zones", would compulsorily resume vast areas of suburb, but this time to generate a car-dependent high-rise population along its route, sufficient to tempt the tollway operators.
Had the NSW government completed the original radials plan before, say, 1955, as occurred in some US cities, Sydney would now resemble Los Angeles or Miami – cities the road engineers much admired – but funds were scarce and there were more pressing priorities.
By the early 1970s, when the Willis Liberal government steeled itself to begin, the ghastly evidence from the US experience was already in, radial freeways were on the nose, and a new generation of Sydneysiders had discovered the convenience and charm of the inner suburbs the planners regarded as slums.
Although the F4 ("Western Expressway") from the CBD to Strathfield was the DMR's priority, the government decided to start with the North-West Expressway which was slated to cut through the Pyrmont Peninsula, cross Wentworth Park and then slice through Glebe and Annandale.
By then, public opposition to radial freeways had been building for a decade. Matters came to a head in September 1974, when the DMR moved in to demolish a row of terraced houses in Upper Fig Street, Pyrmont. There were wild scenes and dozens of arrests as residents from the suburbs under threat, aided by radical students, swarmed the bulldozers and climbed onto house roofs. The local Liberal candidate joined in. With a state election approaching, Opposition leader Neville Wran visited the demonstrators and roundly condemned the freeway plan.
A year and a half later, Wran just scraped into office, cancelled the inner-city radials and sold off the property the DMR had acquired. The move certainly didn't harm his popularity because the next election was the famous "Wranslide". And Labor's vote increased again at the election following.
Fig Street was the opening skirmish in what's been a 40-year fight to stop the Los Angelisation of Sydney. The most alarming fact is that we are still fighting such a thoroughly discredited concept. The rest of the world has long since recognised the freeway mistake and moved on. They're building comprehensive public transport systems and railing freight out of their ports. That, not Gay's reactionary fantasy, is the way of the future.

Having baking on hand is a two edged sword, right? It's great for the kid's lunches & snacks, but it's also around to temp me. I really like to try new baking recipes, so finding new recipes to add to my favourites that the whole family enjoys is a great thing (although an exercise in self control for me).
In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Mix in flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt until well combined, but do not over mix. This is where I mixed in the chocolate chips.
Shape dough into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookies sheets. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake 6 minutes or until slightly set. Remove from the oven and add three mini marshmallows and three small chunks of Hershey Bar to each cookie. Return to the oven 3-4 more minutes until lightly browned.
Cool 1-2 minutes and then remove to wire racks and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Don't they look yummy? Trust me, they are! A little taste of heaven. The toasted marshmallows are the best!
For more marshmallow love, try some of these recipes!
Oh these look really good! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have pinned them to share!
Oh man these look awesome. I love PB. I adore Smores - I need to try this cookie! Thanks for the recipe!
Oooh, I bet the marshmallows tasted so good in this peanut butter cookie! Yummy cookie!
Peanut buuter and smores, YUM!
Oh my those look amazing!! Stopping by from Pin me! Stop by if you have a moment Running Away? I'll Help You Pack!
Mmm these sound so good! I've made s'more cookies before and they were so good, but I love the addition of peanut butter! Sounds really good!
I am totally pinning this! This looks awesome. And I love s'mores! i just found you through The Dedicated House. I'm your newest follower. I'm hoping you'll come check me out at www.crazythriftycrafts.blogspot.com. Thanks for sharing!

Raf Simons returns to Paris for the SS19 menswear collection
Please don't touch my Raf
Fashion May 28th, 2018
Author Kettj Talon
After a three-season break, Raf Simons announced that he will present his SS19 menswear collection in Paris.
The show in the Ville Lumière is scheduled for Wednesday, June 20th at 21:30, the same day Off-White, Walter Van Beirendonck, Valentino and Undercover will unveil their new creations to the public.
For the past 18 months, since becoming the chief creative officer of Calvin Klein and moving to New York, Simons had chosen Manhattan for his fashion shows. This was a productive period for the Belgian creative designer, during which he won the "Fashion Oscars", that is the designers' awards for the year 2017 of men's and women's clothing at the CFDA Awards.
His return to France represents a major loss for the NYFW, already lacking big names or talents in his calendar and many wonder if it will manage to overcome such an important absence.
The other question is: who knows what, after the tributes to NY, Blade Runner and Christiane F. We, the boys of the Berlin Zoo, will be the inspiration of Simons new collection?
A few more days and we'll find out.

51Degrees API Documentation 4.4
Most device detection solutions rely primarily on the User-Agent HTTP header. However, the content of this header can be any string at all. This inevitably leads to situations where finding an exact match to a previously observed User-Agent is not possible.
A false positive occurs when the service tells you it has found a match but in reality the details provided are incorrect.
In these scenarios, different use cases often demand different responses. 51Degrees Device Detection allows the developer to determine exactly what happens.
HasValue
The Device Detection API returns many different properties. Every single one of these can either have a specified value or not.
Each language implements this differently but in all cases, there will be some form of HasValue method or property associated with each result property. Where HasValue is false, accessing the property value will cause an exception to be returned or thrown (depending on the language).
The detail associated with this exception will explain why the property does not have a specified value.
In some cases, the device detection algorithm can fail to find any match at all for the supplied evidence.
The AllowUnmatched setting can be used to control what happens in this situation.
If AllowUnmatched is false (default) then no result will be returned and HasValue will be false for the requested properties.
If AllowUnmatched is true then the default profile will be returned.
The default profile has specific values for properties but they may be incorrect. For example, the default hardware profile has IsMobile = false. In reality, if no match was found then we have no idea if the device is a mobile device or not.
Bad Match
The Difference value is used to measure how different a potential match is from the supplied evidence. The Drift value is used to measure how far a matching substring is from it's expected position.
The maximum allowable Difference and Drift values can be set when the engine is created. This is used to control how far the supplied evidence is allowed to differ from the real-world training data that was used to create the data file.
For example, if the maximum Difference value is set to 0 (default) then a match will only be returned if the difference value is 0.
If the maximum Difference or Drift setting prevents any result from being returned then HasValue will be false for the requested properties.
By default, Difference and Drift are set to 0 (i.e., no deviation from the expected substrings is permitted). Setting them to -1 will mean that there is no limit. However, note that this often results in highly inaccurate results and does not guarantee a match will always be found.
Match meta-data
Regardless of the settings used, the result will return additional meta-data that can be queried to find out details about the match.
Difference - Contains the difference value between the supplied evidence and the returned match.
UserAgents - Contains a list of the matching substrings from the User-Agent.
Drift - Contains the drift value between the supplied evidence and the returned match.
MatchedNodes - The number of 'nodes' in the hash tree where a match was found. If this is zero then no match was found.
Method - The method used to find a match. 'EXACT' indicates an exact match. 'NONE' indicates no match. Any other value is the name of the technique used to find the result that best matches the supplied evidence.
The 'Unknown' value
Previous versions of the Device Detection API were unable to indicate that a property did not have a value.
Therefore, in the past, the string values Unknown or N/A were used to indicate that the API did not have a value for a particular property.
These values are treated as distinct from HasValue, i.e., it is possible for HasValue to return true and Value to return Unknown.
In the future, this may be changed so that HasValue will return false if Value is Unknown, N/A, or similar, but this is not currently planned.
I only want a result if the API is reasonably sure it is correct.
Set AllowUnmatched to false.
Set Difference and Drift to 10.
I only want exact matches to previously observed User-Agents (default configuration).
Set Difference and Drift to 0.
These settings will mean that a result is only returned if it exactly matches a unique substring from a User-Agent that has been included when building the data file.
If there is no match found then I want the API to assume that the device is a desktop running an unknown operating system.
Set AllowUnmatched to true.
Difference and Drift do not influence this use case.
This setting will cause the default (desktop) profiles to be returned if there is no match.
I'm migrating from 51Degrees V3 Device Detection and want to retain the previous functionality.
I want to keep my as code simple as possible. I'm not worried about some false positives.
Set AllowUnmatched to true. Set Difference (and Drift if using Hash) to -1.
These settings will mean that HasValue is never false. Each property will always have a value so you don't need to worry about dealing with a situation where they do not.

This is really a bit of an update. In autumn 2013 I planted some small daffs and crocus in the lawn, as well as some bigger ones, and now, in their third spring, I can make a decent assessment of how they have done. The narcissus I was most excited about was the relatively new 'Spoirot' which is like a hoop petticoat daffodil but in pure, creamy white. Although new to the trade it was bred in the 1980s by Rod Barwick in Tasmania and was given an RHS Award of Garden Merit after trial at Wisley where it was found to be showy and vigorous, producing 180 flowers from ten bulbs after three years of growth. My plants are in grass and, especially this year when the grass is longer than I would like because of the mild winter, they have not increased anywhere near as much. Part of its charm is that the bulbs produce a succession of flowers over a very long time and the first flowers opened several weeks ago and I will expect more for at least another month. Though pretty in the garden they are nice for picking too, with some cyclamen and snowdrops, and the flowers are carried on stems about 20cm high. The leaves are very thin and grasslike.
If you still have to buy your seeds Plants of Distinction have an offer all this week with 20% off all peas (including sweet peas) and beans.
The daffodils are very pretty and delicate and would be a beautiful companion plant with snowdrops. I have a snowdrop lawn in which I grow crocus tommasinianus with the snowdrops(Galanthus nivalis).
Mary's snowdrop lawn is gorgeous. I was admiring it on Friday. A big pool of snowdrops, crocus and wee narcissi.

Fish & Seafood, Winter
To Dress Cod Fish
January 27, 2021 February 17, 2021 Rachel A. Snell
Mary Randolph offers a robust collection of seafood dishes in a chapter simply titled, "Fish." Her recipes include methods to prepare both fresh and salted, ocean and freshwater fish as well as oysters and eels. Unsurprisingly, recipes for preparing codfish appear with great frequency in Randolph's collection. Eight recipes for fresh and salted cod compose nearly a quarter of the recipes in the chapter. Randolph's inclusion of several ways of preparing cod, including baked, boiled, fricasseed, and baked in a pie, speaks to the pivotal role played by cod in North American history.
Drawing of an Atlantic Cod. Penobscot Marine Museum.
Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) has a dense, flaky, white flesh and mild flavor. The fish were spectacularly plentiful in the cold, deep waters of the North American coast from Maine to Newfoundland. John Cabot marveled in a report from his 1497 voyage that
The sea there is swarming with fish, which can be taken not only with the net but in baskets let down with a stone, so that it sinks in the water.
John Cabot quoted in Harold Innis, The Cod Fisheries: The History of an International Economy (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1940), 11
Attracted by accounts like Cabot's, fishermen from France, England, Portugal, and Spain established temporary operations to catch, dry, and salt cod for European Catholics. Permanent settlements in New England also prospered from trading salted cod with European markets, West Indies plantations, and the southern colonies. A wood carving of a codfish, known as the Sacred Cod of Massachusetts, displayed in the State House serves as "a memorial of the importance of the Cod-Fishery to the welfare of this Commonwealth," and has a fascinating history of its own.
This carving of a cod, made of pine, is the third to hang in the House of Representatives chamber at the Massachusetts State House. Yankee Magazine.
Massachusetts was not the only economy beholden to the codfish. Rather, as Canadian historian Harold Innis argued in his 1940 study, The Cod Fisheries: The History of an International Economy, the cod fishery produced and relied upon complex international relations. In his work, Innis focused on interrelationships between economics, culture, and technology that marked the codfish industry. First, the large population of observant Catholics in Europe produced a demanding market for fish. References to abstaining from the meat of warm-blooded animals on Fridays in recognition of Jesus Christ's sacrifice for humankind begin in the first century C.E. By the Middle Ages, European Christianity had added many meatless days to the calendar. In addition to Fridays, observant Christians abstained from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays, during the Lent and Advent seasons, and on other holy days. These observances created an enormous market for fish, so much so that the rumor spread that a pope made a secret pact to sell more fish.
This c. 1857-59 French cod fishing station on Newfoundland provides a sense of the process and scale of dried salted cod production in the nineteenth century. Library and Archives Canada.
Technology also played a role in the ascendency of the cod. The Vikings perfected a method of air-drying fish; Innis argues the English adapted the Viking method to North America's more humid climate by salting the fish before drying. Consumers preferred salt dried cod to fish packed in brine, allowing the English and then the Americans to dominate and reap monetary rewards from the cod trade. Easy to ship, inexpensive, and tasty (if you knew how to prepare it), dried salted cod perfectly fit the bill for observant Catholic's tables throughout Europe. Light on the budget, easy to ship, and long-lasting, dried salted cod frequently appeared in enslaved rations on West Indies plantations. In the American South, cod appeared on the tables of all classes. The variety of dishes Randolph offers for the fish suggests it was a staple in her household or she expected it to be in the homes of her audience.
particular recipe presents fresh cod, boiled, and served in a crust of potatoes, onions, and seasonings. At the end of the recipe, Randolph notes, "For change, it may be baked in the form of patties." I felt my family would be more likely to try and enjoy this recipe in the form of patties. The recipe was simple to make, although I did find it difficult to form and keep the patties in shape. I used a combination of parsnips and potatoes because I didn't have quite enough potatoes and cut back on the amount of onions because I feared the amount stated in the recipe would be overwhelming. Everyone ate this, from the one-year-old who doesn't really enjoy fish to the fish-loving five-year-old to my picky husband. My five-year-old declared it "good," high praise indeed!
Mary Randolph, The Virginia House-wife (1838), p. 64.
1 lb cod fish
1 lb white potatoes or parsnips, peeled and chopped into equal sized pieces*
½ cup diced onion**
1 tablespoon white wine (optional)
milk or cream, as needed
* I used half potatoes and half parsnips.
** Randolph's recipe stipulates an equal quantity of fish, potatoes or parsnips, and onions. I've reduced the amount of onion to suit the taste preferences of my family.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil the fish until cooked through and set aside.
2. While the fish is boiling, boil the potatoes and/or parsnips with the onions until the vegetables are soft.
3. Drain the vegetables and mash with butter, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. If your mash is too stiff, add a tablespoon of milk or cream until it can be easily mixed.
4. Break the fish into small pieces and mix into the vegetable mixture. Form the mixture into patties and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through the cooking time.
My patties did not crisp in the oven the way I hoped they would. I had better results cooking for 2-3 minutes per side on a griddle over medium heat.
I did not need to add any additional liquid to the vegetable mash.
Yield: one dozen patties, about 6 servings

CECIL'S LEGACY - EPISODE 2: "Tracking Lions for Science - Part 1". In this episode of Cecil's Legacy we venture in our Land Rover to Oxford University WildCRU's lion research base on the edge of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. The researchers here track lions in the area using radio collars! They were the team who collared Cecil the lion. Let's find out more and see if we can use these collars to help us track the lions in the wild! (this is Part 1 of a two-part story with WildCRU!).
Cecil's Legacy EPISODE 6: "Living with Wild Animals" In this episode the local Chief Mpisi shows us what it is like to live alongside the wildest animals! It might be tough sometimes with lions eating their cattle & elephants trampling crops... but there is one trick that he has learned to help his family live in harmony with these animals. A trick that has been told through the generations - the chilli burning method...!
In this episode we get ready for a big adventure into the wild... but before we do, I stop off to get a #lionselfie - this was an amazing opportunity to get right up close and interact with a lion safely. Tourists can get selfies with lions and also help a conservation effort to re-introduce lions into the wild. BUT there are some questions I have on keeping lions in captivity... not least around the animal selfie debate happening right now! What are your views?
In this episode we join an inspiring anti-poaching team who are tackling the issue of illegal snaring of wild animals - catching lions, painted dogs, you name it - they get caught in these snares. The day we filmed with them, they were also joined by new members of their team - 2 dogs!
Cecil's Legacy, Episode 9: "How to Track a Lion on Foot - Part 2" In this episode Leon Varley and I find fresh tracks of a pride of lions on foot. Being face to face with the top predator away from the safety of a vehicle definitely tested my nerve! How the lion's reacted to us though I didn't expect. Check out the video to see how we got on!

The annual migration of Short-tailed shearwater chicks from Phillip Island to the Aleutian Islands around Alaska is complete ending a major joint effort led by Phillip Island Nature Parks partnering with Regional Roads Victoria, Bass Coast Shire Council, SP AusNet and the Island community.
"A total of 256 young birds were rescued and relocated to safe take-off points for a second chance at take-off and 229 dead birds were removed from the roads over the 21 day operation," said Jodi Bellett, Phillip Island Nature Parks Wildlife Rehabilitation Ranger
"There were less dead birds last year due to favourable weather conditions with strong winds allowing many birds to take off safely over a few nights. The pattern of migration varies slightly each year – due to winds and weather, but historically the peak of the fledging is around 25 April."
The reason for the rescue operation is that the adult birds depart on their own migration in April leaving their chicks alone in their burrows to fatten up before they emerge and learn to fly before they follow their parents north. During this time, they often crash land on the Island's roads – which is dangerous for the birds and drivers.
Each organisation contributed to the operation in a true collaboration for wildlife.
The Nature Parks led the operation which involves rescuing the young birds from the roads and relocating them to safe take off points each morning and night. Staff and volunteers patrolled the roads in areas where the birds are most likely to land - particularly around Surf Beach, Cape Woolamai, San Remo bridge and near the Penguin Parade.
Vic Roads provided traffic support including lowering speed limits on affected roads to 40km/h and placing a billboard at San Remo to let motorists know that there may be shearwaters on the roads. This is aimed to increase the chicks' chances of successfully departing the Island, and to raise awareness of motorists to potentially hazardous driving conditions.
SP Ausnet switched off lights on the San Remo bridge for 10 nights during the peak of the birds' departure as the birds are known to flock to the lights on the bridge.
"Since the inception of the Shearwater Rescue Patrol in 1999, thousands of birds have been saved from the roads as they learn to fly. We thank the community and our partners for their ongoing support and look forward to working together next year," said Jodi.
About short tailed shearwaters:
Short-tailed shearwaters are migratory seabirds that arrive on Phillip Island in September and spend the summer raising their single chick in a sand dune burrow. They have cultural significance for the Bunurong Peoples and undertake an incredible migration, flying over 16,000km to feed near Alaska during our winter. Adults begin their migration in early April and the fledglings leave about three weeks later with no guidance. Many of these birds are killed each year on the roads at night. Shearwater Rescue is a community initiative to reduce these deaths and part of the wonder of living with wildlife on Phillip Island.

Naruto's full name is Uzumaki Naruto and he is a genin (lowest ninja rank) from Konohagakure. However don't let this fool you because the reason he's solely a genin is that he was away for training for 3 years. The reason for him going away for training for three years is in order that he can be able to defend himself when the Akatsuki (bad guys) come to take him for the Kyuubi (9 tails demon fox) inside of him. Naruto's mother and father had named him after the principle character of Jiraiya's first book, making him Naruto's godfather.
Previous to Naruto's delivery, his parents died making an attempt to guard him whilst also sealing the 9 tails fox inside him. Earlier than Naruto's father the fourth Hokage (fourth leader of the village) has died he requested that his son be treated as a hero, nevertheless, only a few people did this whilst the rest considered him because the demon that lived inside of Naruto and Fairy Tail Hoodie they also despised him and blamed him for what occurred to their home. The third Hokage who took the position after the fourth had died since then decreed that nobody was to speak about what had happened in the hopes that the villagers children would not grow to hate Naruto as they did this failed as even the children despised him. Apart from the Third Hokage, Iruka Umino (a instructor at the ninja academy) was the one one who acted as a surrogate household to the young Naruto.
Naruto possesses the blue eyes of his father and quick spiky hair from his father. From his mom Naruto gained the shape of his eyes and face. He also has 3 whiskers on every side of his face as an emblem that the nine tails resides within him. His favorite colour is orange. Because of him being hated on and left all alone by the villagers as a child he always tries to earn the acknowledgment of everybody round him and did so by pulling pranks all around the village.
Even after graduating the academy he nonetheless strived to be acknowledged by other. However, as he made more and more connections with different individuals his intention to be Hokage changed from a press release of acknowledgment to one where he wanted to be robust enough to guard those he liked and his home. His closest buddies are Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Naruto is one to fight first and discuss later and he hardly ever wishes to take a seat nonetheless and think things via, he is a lot more a person who talks through his fists.


I assume the guitar and bass bodies-(woodwork, necks, binding) and the (knobs, frets and machine heads etc) are manufactured in CA/USA? I would like to know if the pickups and associated electrical parts are also manufactured here in the USA or are they outsourced and made overseas with final assembly in the California facility?
We produce our own pickups here in the US, and most of the electronic components are US as well. There's a few parts, like capacitors, that apparently aren't made in the USA anymore that we reluctantly buy from Asia.
The machine heads mostly come from Schaller in Germany, with a few from Gotoh in Japan.
Some of the very highly figured wood comes from Canada, though the bulk of our Maple is from Michigan.
How about the new Caribbean rosewood (which looks fantastic in my opinion)?
Comes from Central America but we're careful to buy from American owned firms.
Ahhhhhhh.... but where are the "made in the U.S.A." stickers made??????
Oh yes, because if you dont buy with American interests (which I can understand to a point) or contribute to his Highness's campaign-the company can be harassed or get raided just like they did to another "long standing" American company. Absolutely disgraceful! You would think they could spend their time going after hard line criminals instead of a reputable guitar builder!

KERY is a typical representative of desirable working type German Shepherd dog. KERY is a outstanding stud dog with strong bones, strong well shaped head, dark pigmented color and high energy level and high working drives for any type of work with his handler. His energy level is strong but not crazy. KERY is capable of long concentration for exercises requiring calmness and persistence.
KERY's bloodline and temperament enable him to be used everywhere where there's need to improve the type, pigmentation and strengthen the vitality and working drives of the dogs.
As far as temperament his progeny is balanced. They are switch on/off type of dogs. When they are in their kennel they rest and once they are taken outside the kennel they are ready to give 100% performance. We don't know about any case that there would be male with missing one or 2 testicles, missing teeth/tooth. And he never produced long haired pup. His progeny has strong bones and dark pigmentation. They are elegantly conformed.

Book Chapter: TV, Sex and Society
This month sees the official release of Television, Sex and Society: Analysing Contemporary Representations edited by James Aston, Basil Glynn and Beth Johnson.
I have contributed a chapter to this book on the representation of lesbian lives and lesbian sex in BBC period drama. In particular, I discuss Portrait of a Marriage (1990) and Tipping the Velvet (2002), exploring the relationship between sexual explicitness and anxieties raised by adaptation and source material. In the case of Tipping, the original source-text was Sarah Water's NeoVictorian novel, playfully subversive and metafictive. But in the case of Portrait, the source-text was Nigel Nicolson's auto/biographical account of his mother, Vita Sackville-West, and her relationship with Violet Trefusis. How does the "polite" genre of period drama negotiate lesbian sex, and how might this differ when the life portrayed on screen is (paradoxically) "real"?
When drafting this chapter I originally included a short section on The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010). Due to the constraints of space, this section was removed during later revisions, but I include it below as an added extra or "deleted scene". There are claims and references that relate to arguments in the published chapter, and ideally they should be read side-by-side, but I hope this whets your appetite…
The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010)
Where Tipping the Velvet (dir. Geoffrey Sax, 2002) had celebrated inauthenticity to enable (yet contain) its representation of lesbianism, The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (dir. James Kent, 2010) employed an intensified rhetoric of cultural legitimacy. This one-off drama was based on a series of episodes from the eponymous diary, a document of some four million words (parts of which were written in 'crypthand' to disguise their intimate, often sexual content) [1]. Like Portrait of a Marriage (dir. Stephen Whittaker, 1990), the drama was an adaptation of life-writing, staking a redoubled claim to authenticity: "real" lives within an accurate historical framework. In stark contrast to Tipping, and to a much greater extent than Portrait, authenticity became the drama's legitimating framework and the means by which it was "sold" to the press. Writing for The Observer, Vanessa Thorpe described the broadcast as 'a genuinely pioneering moment in history', while the Radio Times tasked Jeanette Winterson—with her own brand of high-brow lesbianism—to offer a personal account of Lister's significance, highlighting her reputation as the 'first modern lesbian' (a phrase oft-repeated in the press prior to broadcast) [2].
The decoding and public circulation of Lister's diaries, on page and screen, was constructed as a historically and culturally significant act, legitimising the exposure of a "real" private life. By comparison, Portrait had been derided as the airing of dirty laundry. Following the broadcast of Secret Diaries, the BBC showed a documentary, Revealing Anne Lister, presented by "out" lesbian comic Sue Perkins. This pairing of drama with factual programming reinforced the seriousness of the Lister project, guaranteeing its authenticity while correcting the drama's glamorised version of events. The documentary offered a 'panoramic picture' of Lister's character, with Perkins torn between admiration and loathing, and concluded with a tribute to her 'greatest achievement': the diaries. However, in several texts accompanying the drama—both literary and journalistic—the diaries were made to signify beyond their depiction of lesbianism. In a revised and expanded introduction to a new paperback edition of the diaries, Helena Whitbread depicted Lister as 'a trail-blazer for the emancipation of women from the mores of society' [3]. While Lister's defiance of multiple gendered restrictions, economic as well as sexual, is an important argument to make, the repetition of this rhetoric in relation to the drama served to bury lesbianism within the broader context of women's history. In her Radio Times article, Jeanette Winterson universalised and de-sexualised Lister's transgression: her example is 'important for any woman wanting to make her own choices in the world, regardless of what is acceptable in society' [4]. Taken to its (il)logical conclusion, this rhetoric returns us to denials of lesbianism. In an interview for the BBC, Maxine Peak insisted: 'It's not just about being gay or lesbian—the story is about anybody who wants to be who they want to be' [5]. Here Lister is made to transcend the immediate context of her personal relationships. She becomes an important part of social history, while the "detective" work of decoding and dramatising her diary is legitimised as a valuable, political act: a symbolic recovery of all voices and identities marginalised by history, not just lesbianism.
In this climate of historical and political earnestness, sexually explicit content took a tentative step back into the closet. On screen, Secret Diaries reproduced the familiar heterosexual frame employed by Portrait, with its replication of butch/femme pairings and reticent depictions of sexual behaviour. Lister enjoys passionate embraces with several women, including scenes of clothed masturbation, but there is just one bedroom scene with nudity (with a brief second appearance, much curtailed, in flashback). The drama's legitimating rhetoric of cultural and historical significance precludes the explicit depiction of lesbian sex.

A: From here

It is not intended that implementors be threadsafe. Instead each thread/transaction should obtain its own instance from a SessionFactory.

According to documentation threads should have their own sessions. If you get session by sessionFactory.getCurrentSession(); you'll get null because its' access protected by ThreadLocals.
You can create new session for per thread by this code.
@Async
public Future<SocialLogin> loginUserSocial(Social model) {
        Session session = this.sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.save(model);
        SocialLogin dto = new SocialLogin();
        dto.setUser_id(model.getUser_id());
        return new AsyncResult<SocialLogin>(dto);
