Peaceful Coexistence in Morocco between Jews and Muslims
Istanbul - Morocco was once home to a very large community of 250,000 Jews, the largest in the Arab world. Moreover, they had been living there for the past 2,000 years: In other words, together with the Muslim Moroccans, they were an inseparable part of Morocco, its culture, history and civilization and helped build and shape it to make it what it is today. For centuries, these two communities existed side by side in harmony and friendship. They lived in similar houses, led similar social lives, attended the same schools, worked at the same jobs and spent great time together as friends.

Istanbul – Morocco was once home to a very large community of 250,000 Jews, the largest in the Arab world. Moreover, they had been living there for the past 2,000 years: In other words, together with the Muslim Moroccans, they were an inseparable part of Morocco, its culture, history and civilization and helped build and shape it to make it what it is today. For centuries, these two communities existed side by side in harmony and friendship. They lived in similar houses, led similar social lives, attended the same schools, worked at the same jobs and spent great time together as friends.
However, when the Nazi-inspired Vichy regime began its anti-Semitic practices, the days of troubles began. The French administration even ordered that the Jews in the country wear yellow stars as an identification of their Jewishness. But King Mohammed V of Morocco, a figure deeply beloved by Jews, famously denied the request and said, 'There are no Jews in my country, only subjects'. It is even reported that the King asked for yellow stars for himself and for his family as a show of solidarity. Despite intense French pressure, the King refused to make any separation between his people and during the annual Throne Day Ceremony, in the presence of Vichy officers at the royal palace, welcomed the leaders of the Jewish community and said, "I must inform you that, just as in the past, the Israelites will remain under my protection. I refuse to make any distinction between my subjects." He is also known to have helped a group of prominent Jews hide in his palace from the prying eyes of the Vichy authorities. The efforts of the King are still remembered by the Jews today as they lovingly pay tribute to him.
But as good as the intentions were of the Moroccan government, darker days were beginning for the Muslim-Jewish friendship that would eventually tear them apart.
When the State of Israel was founded in 1948, rising anti-Jewish sentiment and a powerful propaganda machine increased the uneasiness Jews felt and caused them to leave Morocco in droves for Israel. There was another wave of migration due to anti-Semitism and thus they left the region during the years 1956 to 1967. Today, the number of Jews in the country is down to a mere 2,500.
Today, the echoes of this painful separation can still be felt on the streets of Morocco and in the words of Muslim and Jewish Moroccans. An elderly Moroccan man lovingly reminiscences of the old days when his Jewish friends were around: 'I helped them load their baggage onto the buses. With them, their beautiful food was gone. We didn't want them to leave. We no longer danced the traditional Ahwach'. The sellers explain how the marketplaces buzzed with activity when Jews were around and the Moroccan Jews that left during those days explain how they never stopped missing their homes in Morocco. Pinhas Suissa, a Moroccan Jew returnee, spoke about how the Moroccan Jews stuck together in Israel and formed an Ahwach' band to play music all night because they didn't want to lose their ties to Morocco; the ones that chose to stay, despite the risks, proudly say that they never regretted their decisions as the anti-Jewish rumors turned out to be rumors only.
Although the younger generation isn't as familiar with the Jewish past of the country, they still respectfully watch the Jews coming back to Morocco, either as permanent residents or tourists. Even today, the two communities manage to keep their solid connection intact despite traumatic incidents that put their friendship to test. For instance, when a Jewish community center in Casablanca was attacked 13 years ago, killing 40 and injuring 100, Israeli government officials called on Moroccan Jews to resettle in Israel. But the Jewish residents of Morocco preferred to stay and the General Secretary of the Council of Jewish Communities of Morocco said Jews were comfortable in Morocco and had no intentions of leaving.
Morocco is a good example in that it shows how two different faith communities, perceived by many to be enemies, can in fact harmoniously co-exist with mutual love and respect. Needless to say, things weren't always perfect; there have been times when undesirable incidents happened – and still do from time to time- but they do not reflect the general feeling of the communities, and such incidents are mostly solitary cases.
Love and friendship have their ways to win, and as the Moroccan case clearly shows, there is a possibility to keep away from conflicts or keep the bickering of politicians away from people's daily lives and maintain good relations on a grassroots level.
God loves love, peace and friendship, especially between different cultures, civilizations and nations. That's why He so beautifully created this amazing diversity in our world. In a Qur'anic verse, our Almighty Lord explains that the reason we are created as different nations is so that we can get to know each other. (49/13) The Moroccan Muslims and Moroccan Jews have come to appreciate this beauty and gave a great lesson to the world. Having this great culture of co-existence, friendship and mutual respect, we believe that they can achieve even more and show to the rest of the world how two communities can love, respect and co-exist peacefully with each other, despite differences.

Q: Does resetting FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS to 1 checks for consistency let's say i have something like this:
start transaction;
set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
insert into ...;
set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;
commit;

does this guarantee the consistency of the informations inserted?

A: No, it does not.
As mysql manual on foreign key constraint says on re-enabling foreign_key_check setting (emphasis added):

Enabling foreign_key_checks does not trigger a scan of table data, which means that rows added to a table while foreign_key_checks is disabled are not checked for consistency when foreign_key_checks is re-enabled.

A: No, it will not check the added data

Enabling foreign_key_checks does not trigger a scan of table data, which means that rows added to a table while foreign_key_checks is disabled are not checked for consistency when foreign_key_checks is re-enabled.

New Delhi: The Ministry of Finance spent Rs 1,157 crore on various heads during 2017-18 without obtaining prior approval of Parliament, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report tabled in Parliament today said.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in its 83rd report had also taken serious view on cases of augmentation of provision of object head 'grants-in-aid' and 'subsidies'. PAC noted that these serious lapses are a pointer towards faulty budget estimation and deficient observances of financial rules by the ministries/ departments concerned.

What Manner of Man: A Weekly Program to Better Know the Savior-Week 4 – After-Resurrection Roles
By	Richard and Linda Eyre · December 10, 2004
What Manner of Man:
A Weekly Program to Better Know the Savior
Week 4 – After-Resurrection Roles
Note: Each week this column provides a short essay on one particular aspect or facet of the Lord's personality and character. It is intended that the reader focus on this facet while partaking of the sacrament this Sunday. (Click here to read full introductory column.)
Did the heavens close shortly after the Lord's resurrection? Will not Christ correspond again with the world until his millennial second coming? The "yes, they did, and no, he will not" answers of traditional some incomplete theologies are inconsistent with scripture and inconsistent with the reason and faith of a true Christian mind.
The Lord said there were "other sheep" whom he must bring, who must hear his voice. What a joy to know that he organized the teaching of his gospel to those in the spirit world (1 Peter 3:18, 4:6) and in other parts of the earth – even to the lost tribes of the Old Testament. In short, what a joy to know that Jesus' gospel was and is for all men and that he, in his perfect justice, assures that all men of all ages have the chance to choose!
The Lord said to his apostles, "Lo, I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20). What a joy to know that throughout the two thousand years since his resurrection (just as before) the effectual, fervent prayers of righteous men and women have been answered! What a joy to know that there have been no "dark ages" in terms of the light of Christ – to know that, even in times when an organized church of consistent truth did not exist on earth, individual seekers of truth could still seek through prayer and find through the answers given by his light!
The Lord said that he would reveal his actions to his prophets (Amos 3:7), and he promised a restoration through divine messengers (Matthew 17:11). What a joy to know that through reformation and restoration he has (and continues) to replace the truth and light that men lose!
The Lord said he would come to usher in the Millennium (see Revelation 1:7). What a joy to know that we are preparing now, striving to prepare the earth for that day of days when he will begin his personal reign of one thousand years!
The Lord said he would judge the nations (John 5:22, 30; 9:39; 2 Timothy 4:1). What a joy (and ultimate comfort) to know that he – he who has descended below the depth of our own troubles and temptations, he who framed and implemented the plan and creation of this earth, he who loves us so much that he gave his life for us, he who is and will always be our brother – he will be our judge!
Join us next week as we begin to look at the various facets of the Savior's joy!

d1 1955
The first documenta, created by Kassel painter and academy professor Arnold Bode in 1955, was an unexpected world success. The exhibition, which was launched as the accompanying program to the Bundesgartenschau (German Federal Horticultural Show) that was held in Kassel that year, took an historical and documentary/reconstructive approach. It showed the development of the major artistic groups since the beginning of the century: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism, Pittura Metafisica etc. In total, 570 works by 148 artists from six different countries were showcased, and pre-War Modernism was deliberately displayed in all its European ramifications. Bode impressively highlighted the works in the ruins of the Museums Fridericianum, today still the main building for the documenta, whose provisional premises he outfitted with what at the time were considered extremely modern materials (such as plasterboard and PVC curtains).
In terms of the exhibition concept, the documenta expressly manifested its goal of directly referencing the Nazis' propaganda exhibition "Degenerate Art" held in 1937 – in order to restore to prominence the works, styles and artists so downgraded in the German public's estimation as a result of the 1937 show. For example, Wilhelm Lehmbruck's sculpture "Kneelers" (1911), which the Nazis had placed in a central location in the 1937 show, was again placed in the entrance area of the Fridericianum, but this time with full dignity in the stairwell rotunda. This attempt to reverse the way specific artists had been considered and thus recontextualize their work was supplemented by a centrally positioned walls of photos with portraits of the artists, thus celebrating the individual creative minds behind the works.
Werner Haftmann, art historian and the conceptual brain behind documenta 1-3, described the intention of the first documenta as follows: "It should be seen as a broad, if initial attempt, to regain international contacts across the board and thus at home re-engage in a conversation that has been interrupted for so long, as it were." Haftmann believed that the exhibition also had a didactic brief: "It is devised with our young generation in mind, and the artists, poets and thinkers they follow, so that they may recognize what foundations have been laid for them, what inheritance they must nurture and what inheritance must be overcome."
Thus, alongside a retrospective glance at the past 50 years, attention was also directed toward contemporary art. The idea was, on the one hand, to take intellectual stock of things, to enquire what possibilities there were for taking up the artistic positions of the first half of the century and, on the other, to identify the role young German art could play in the international scene. In this regard, d1 was the first post-War forum where German and other European artists met again.

A-two-day community child protection training of trainers for Old Yundum constituency organised by Old Yundum Child Protection Committee, in collaboration with Ding Ding Yiriwa Federation was wrapped up yesterday.
The training of trainers which was under the theme "promoting good parenting" was held at Marie Bennette Skill Training Centre in Wellingara.
Speaking at the opening, Alieu Mendy, Manager of Ding Ding Yiriwa Federation, said children are the future leaders and their protection should be everybody's business.
Mr Mendy pointed out that if they do not nurture their children through a good parenting system, they would not be the leaders they want them to be in future.
Child protection, he went on, needs to have good education, accommodation, eating healthy food, living in a conductive environment to play as well as have cognizant development of their brains to become very good adults.
He noted that they need an enabling environment for children to thrive well, adding that child protection is the only way they could harness potentials of their children to become good citizens.
"If we do not focus on child protection, the products of our country will not be good," he highlighted.
According to him, Ding Ding Yiriwa Federation is a community-based organisation established in Kombo North and South to help the deprived, excluded and vulnerable parents' children get education, good nutrition and skills for youth to gain employment.
Hon. Abdoulie Ceesay, National Assembly Member for Old Yundum Constituency, thanked his development committee for the initiative to establish a child protect committee in the constituency.
He also thanked Ding Ding Yiriwa Federation for their support.
Hon. Ceesay stated that child protection is a key pillar for national development, adding that when parents protect their children the way they should they would have a better Gambia.
"Development cannot take place in the absence of child protection," according to him.
Yusupha Cham, special political adviser to President Adama Barrow, said children do not know what is harmful to them and as such, need to be protected and guided through the right path for the benefit of the nation.
Mr Cham added that they should collectively endeavor to seek the welfare of children as government alone could not do it all even though it is government's responsibility to provide them with schools, hospitals, roads amongst others.


Microsoft's serverless is continually improving with better stability and features. The out-of-the-box integration with many services makes serverless an appealing approach when it comes to solving a problem. I was recently asked by a customer to implement a solution that copies json data posted to a Service Bus Topic into an Azure DataLake in order to run offline analytics and reporting.
At this point, I would have suggested using Azure EventGrid instead of Service Bus, since the solution needs to support multiple subscribers and it's a lot more lightweight. However, Service Bus Topics can also accommodate multiple subscribers and, besides, the customer had already committed to the technology. This is absolutely fine, since, in our role, we are asked to work within the current budget and technology constraints.
Initially, I considered using Azure Functions but then I quickly remembered that there was no output binding for Data Lakes. I could create a custom binding using the bindings extensibility framework, but this would require extra effort and would add further complications. Besides, our serverless platform is more than just Functions. Azure Logic Apps was a perfect fit for this job. With over 190 connectors, it didn't take long to find that there were connectors for both the Service Bus and the Data Lake services. Although as a developer, I'm usually keen to write code in order to solve a problem, by now I know that if there's a better way for solving that same problem without writing any code, then I should use it. Less code means fewer chances of things going wrong like inadvertently introducing a bug or some API/SDK changing and, consequently, breaking the implementation. Using a solution like LogicApps, all I have to do is configure the right connectors and actions and the service should take advantage of the rest.
In this post, I'll explain how to setup the Logic App to listen for messages on a Service Bus Topic and then copy the data into a Data Lake folder. I'm making an assumption that you already have a Data Lake account. If not, you can create one in a few clicks.
Within the topic, we need to add a subscription. This will allow us to add one or more subscribers to retrieve messages. Below you can see the steps necessary to add a subscription.
Make sure you save frequently as you progress so you don't lose your changes.
Next, we need to get the data captured from the Service Bus connector and store it directly in the Data Lake. For communicating with the Data Lake, we can again use the built-in connector. Configure the connector as per the examples below.
Because this is the first time we're connecting to the Data Lake account, we need to choose the right tenant and then log in. Alternatively, we can use a Service Principal for the connection credentials.
The action required for this task is Azure Data Lake - Upload file. Every new message should be stored separately as a document.
Save and close the LogicApp editor.
We can even use the File Preview feature in the Data Lake account to ensure that the data is in the correct format, i.e the original json.
I hope that you can see, based on this post, how easy it is to integrate services (Microsoft and beyond) using Azure Serverless. LogicApps come with over 190 connectors out of the box and new ones are added all the time. What problems will you solve using Azure Serverless, now that you know the possibilities?

Michael H. McGarry -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. I would like to welcome you to our third quarter 2021 earnings call. I will provide some results to supplement the detailed financial results we released last evening.
For the third quarter, we achieved record net sales of nearly $4.4 billion and our adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $1.69. As we communicated in early September, our sales and adjusted EPS were significantly impacted by worsening supply chain disruptions and increasing raw material cost inflation. Our raw material costs in the quarter inflated by about 25% year-over-year. For context, this is about 3 times higher than any previous coatings raw material inflation peak in recent history. We're also experiencing elevated logistics costs and are incurring increased manufacturing costs due to the sporadic nature of these outages. Commercially, we have taken significant mitigation efforts due to the high level inflation through rapid implementation of structural selling price increases.
In aggregate, our selling price realization is about 6%, with more than 6% price realization in our Industrial reporting segment. Our price capture pace is much faster than previous inflationary cycles and we have further pricing initiatives underway.
Coming into the quarter, we expect that the supply chain and customer production disruptions would impact our sales by about $150 million. However, this actual impact was more than $350 million. Additionally, this prevented us from completely fulfilling our strong order books and further depleted retail inventory in many of our end-use markets. We expect much of this demand will be deferred into 2022. And in particular, these current conditions will elongate the global automotive OEM recovery.
To put the automotive OEM situation in perspective, US dealer inventories had record historic lows in the mid-20-day range. And in 2021, global production in this industry is expected to be about 20% below prior peak levels. Despite the current challenges, several of our businesses, including our Automotive Refinish, Protective & Marine, and Packaging Coatings delivered strong above market performance, driven by our strong service capabilities and advantaged technology.
Our PPG-Comex business achieved record third quarter sales with year-over-year organic sales growth of more than 10%. In addition, our US Architectural Coatings business delivered about 10% same-store sales growth as we continue to expand our customer base with many new wins and increase our digital sales as a percentage of our total sales base.
More generally, we continue to experience improving trade painter demand globally and architectural DIY coatings sales returned closer to 2019 levels after notable growth last year driven by the stay-at-home impacts. We remain focused on cost management, which is evidenced by our SG&A as a percent of sales being 100 basis points lower than the third quarter 2020. This is being supported by our ongoing execution on our structural cost savings programs as we delivered an incremental $35 million of savings in the third quarter. We continue to target and on track for a full year 2021 savings of about $135 million.
In the quarter, we also continued to make good progress integrating our five recent acquisitions contributing to our overall earnings for the quarter. Our two larger acquisitions, Tikkurila and Ennis-Flint delivered good top line results despite the challenging supply constraints. We continue to expect them to deliver an aggregate of $25 million of synergies for the full year of 2021. We once again delivered strong operating cash flow during the quarter and had about $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents at the quarter end, including sequential reduction of our net debt by about $400 million.
This was supported by a continuing strong working capital management as we maintain our positive step change improvement achieved last year and are at multiyear lows on a percentage of sales basis. While we will continue to evaluate accretive deals in our M&A pipeline, we are initiating stock repurchases in the fourth quarter and will continue to focus on debt reduction.
As a reminder, based on the seasonality of our businesses, the fourth quarter is typically our strongest cash generation quarter of the year. Also during the quarter, in support of further enhancing our ESG program, we were happy to announce an agreement with Constellation Energy to power our Carrollton, Texas manufacturing facility with 100% renewable solar energy. We are also working on our very first ever diversity report and developing science-based climate targets, both of which we will communicate in 2022. Equally important is PPG's market-leading sustainable products continue to enable our customers to meet their respective sustainability goals. We will continue to provide updates on these initiatives on subsequent quarters.
In addition, I'm extremely pleased to announce that yesterday, PPG earned three R&D 100 awards for 2021. The R&D World Magazine honors the 100 most innovative technologies and services over the past year with the R&D 100 awards. Even more importantly, two of the three innovations that we were recognized are growth initiatives in electric vehicles, including BFP SC battery fire protection coating, which protects the vehicle occupants from fire and mitigates thermal runaway events plus Envirocron Extreme Protection thermally conductive dielectric powder for battery packs, providing dielectric protection and thermal conductivity. Our dielectric powder has already been commercialized by a leading EV maker and our battery fire protection product will launch in 2022 by one of the world's largest car makers.
Moving to our outlook. We are continuing to evidence solid demand in aggregate. Many of our customers continue to indicate that their order books are at high levels and have lower than normal inventory levels. In the near term, we anticipate only modest improvements to the supply disruptions that we've been experiencing. Our estimate is that our sales are expected to be unfavorably impacted by about $250 million to $300 million in the fourth quarter, both for the semiconductor chip shortage issue and chronic supplier operational capabilities.
Recent production curtailments in China may add incremental pressures to availability and inflation, and we expect our inflation to approach 30% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result, all our businesses are securing additional selling price increases, and now we expect to fully offset raw material cost inflation in the early part of 2022.
We continue to strongly believe there is sufficient capacity available in our supply chain as operating conditions continue to normalize. Absent any further disruption, we expect supply chains to operate more normally by year's end, supported by normal seasonality trends. To provide further assistance and assurance of more consistent supply going forward, we are rapidly qualifying additional regional and global commodity suppliers across a variety of our key raw material procurement groupings. We expect these increases in product availability, coupled with continued improvement in the existing supply chain, will provide ample supply beginning early in 2022.
While the current environment remains difficult to predict, I remain very optimistic about our specific growth catalysts for 2022. Specifically, we expect continued recovery in automotive refinish, OEM and aerospace coatings, which collectively account for about 40% of our pre-pandemic sales where we have broad global businesses supported by advantaged technology. We expect a measurable rebuild of inventories in many of our end-use markets.
Specific to PPG is year-over-year earnings growth in 2022 due to further synergy capture from our recent acquisitions. In closing, these continue to be dynamic times, but thanks to our more than 50,000 employees around the world, we are well positioned today and in the future. Their dedication and commitment to making it happen are reasons why our customers, our communities and our many stakeholders can count on us and protect and beautify the world.
Thank you for your continued confidence in PPG. This concludes our prepared remarks. Now Jason, would you please open the line for questions?
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Chris Parkinson from Mizuho. Please go ahead.
Christopher Parkinson -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst
Great. Thank you very much. Michael, obviously, there's been a lot going on in the industry, both in terms of raw material inflation as well as input shortages. If we start there, particularly on the shortages aspect of it, can you just offer your general views as we approach 2022? What's changed in the past 12 months, what offers confidence? And then also, are there any differences of how these variables are affecting results at the segment level? So anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Well, Chris, I would say starting with the segment levels, the most impacted, of course, are architectural, our traffic solutions business, our automotive OEM and, quite surprisingly, our industrial coatings because there are a lot more chips than people realize in some of these things like appliances and other electronic materials, heavy-duty equipment, things like that. So those were the businesses most impacted. What I see though is, obviously, it's in our suppliers' best interest to continue to sort out their supply chains. And seasonally weak fourth quarter should give them adequate time to do that.
Now the flip side is we have an extremely large backlog of demand right now. So anything that they can make in the fourth quarter, we're going to ship. So we feel very good about that. As you know, we've been a little bit more pessimistic and probably right about the supply chain issues. And so we have put in, like we said on the call, an expectation of further challenges in the fourth quarter.
That's very helpful. And just kind of staying on that topic, it seems demand is fairly strong and kind of building into '22 and the supply chain disruptions, obviously, are creating a lot of noise in the second half. When you take a step back, look at your own order books, your own customers' outlook, can you just quickly touch on just how you're thinking about '22 and maybe even perhaps on the one job within the '23 in terms of the volume recovery aspects for auto, refinish and aero?
And then also perhaps touch on the sustainability of momentum in both general industrial and packaging. Thank you very much.
Okay. Well, that's a mouthful. Let's start with auto OEM. Clearly, if you look at the inventory in the US, we're down about 1.5 million cars from where typical is. Inventories in China are less than one month as well. They're probably in the 25-day range. So that's 15 days less than they typically have. Europe has not been able to supplement what they need. And when you think about fleets, not just rental fleets, but fleets in general, they're short as well. So there's significant OEM demand out there.
I would also tell you from the refinish side, we can always tell when the lockdown's in, in every country, because driving comes up and collisions come up and demand comes up. And there's very little inventory in the chain from that standpoint. And so we see that also being a strong positive. And then I guess, finally, I would tell you from aerospace, we see strong order books on the small plane. So A320s and 737 builds are going to come up. Once you start to see some international travel, then I expect Airbus and Boeing will get back to building the bigger planes.
MRO is improving monthly. And now that Europe is getting a little bit more open, we expect MRO to improve even better. So our catalyst for 2022 are strong and if you then start building 787s on top of that, then our catalysts for 2023 get even better.
The next question comes from Ghansham Panjabi from Baird. Please go ahead.
Ghansham Panjabi -- Robert W. Baird -- Analyst
Thank you. Good morning, everybody. I guess sort of stepping back, China was first in, first out from COVID, also led the global economic recovery over the past year. Subsequently, the macro headlines and some of the recent data out of China are confirming quite a bit of a slowdown. So first off, what are you seeing in the region on a real-time basis occurred?
Second, how do you see China evolving over the next couple of quarters? And I guess, just more broadly, Michael, how are you thinking about the current inflation cycle impacting your expected recovery over the next couple of years given that consumers will ultimately have to bear all these massive cost increases? Thank you.
Well, Ghansham, let's start with China first. So maybe I think you're aware of this, but maybe some of the other folks on the call aren't. Our plants typically in China are running two shifts a day, most of them, not all them run three. And so the dual control issue that's happening in China where they're trying to reduce the amount of energy consumed as well as the energy per unit, we're in a very good position to be able to run off hours and consume the cheaper energy off hours. So that helps us from that standpoint.
Industrial demand is down in China right now, but it's as much from lack of raw materials as it is from demand. As you know, we're not very big. In fact, I would say, almost negligible in the project market for architectural. So the challenges in that market are really not going to hurt us from that standpoint. But our kitchen and industrial bakeware business, our electronic materials business, our automotive business are all in good shape over there. Our packaging business, double-digit kind of demand. So I feel good about China, both short-term and long term. And I think we have the team that can help us manage through the challenges that are over there.
When I think about the higher prices today, I'd start first with, let's say, oil is $80. Well, $80 historically is not a high number. It would be -- what I would say is, if you say $70 has been the average, it's only marginally higher. So from a structural cost perspective, I think our consumers are going to be able to continue to have strong demand. So I'm not worried about that.
Our next question comes from John Roberts from UBS. Please go ahead.
John Roberts -- UBS -- Analyst
Thank you. Because the price increases are so large and happening so quickly, we're getting a bigger divergence than normal between the year-over-year price changes reported by the different companies. Maybe comment a little bit on where the differences are, maybe between you and some of your key peers by region or application or was it just timing differences, Michael, that's resulting in these different prices?
Yes. John, let me just start with the basic way it works. We report peer price and we reported for all our businesses. And so when you look at the business mix, that's one thing to take into account. The other thing is the mix by geography. So if you have a large percentage in a geography that has hyperinflation, then that's going to impact you. But more importantly for us, we are on our 18th quarter in a row of price increases. So we're stacking increases on top of increases. So one way you might think about this is whether or not somebody might be trying to catch up to where we are. And I think that's probably the most important thing.
And the other thing I would say is make sure you look at inflation reported as well as margins. And for us, the ultimate end goal is margins. And I think our procurement team is doing a great job. We have hired people to help us qualify additional raw materials from that standpoint. And so we're in a pretty good shape, I think, from a competition wise.
The next question comes from Bob Koort from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.
Robert Koort -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
Thanks, Michael. I'm curious, you mentioned that the supply chain issues could moderate as you go through the quarter, but obviously, still some elevation in run rate on the cost side. So are you starting to see some force majeures lessened? Or what is it that you're seeing that gives you some hope that maybe it improves through the quarters? Is there some tangible anecdotes you're already seeing?
Well, Bob, the way I would answer that question is, in Q1, we had 95 force majeures. That was all early, right? And then we only had two in quarter two. And then we had 13 new ones added in the quarter three due to all the IDA issues. And there's been only one added in the fourth quarter. So the pace of force majeures has improved. And at these commodity levels, I know our suppliers, and I've talked to a number of them, are focused on smoothing out the supply chain.
And what I would tell you is they know we can sell, they know we're going to continue to consolidate the industry, they know we're going to win. And so they've been out there protecting PPG as much as they can within the limits of the force majeures. So I see these force majeures starting to decline in the fourth quarter. And so I think we're going to be in a much, much better place starting early 2022.
Vincent J. Morales -- Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer
And Bob, Mike, this is Vince. Michael mentioned in the opening comments, seasonally, we see a significant downturn in demand for commodity raw materials. So this will allow them to do some catch-up in terms of maintenance, in terms of rebuilding inventory. So we do feel that has a tangible benefit as well entering 2022.
The next question comes from Michael Sison from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.
Michael Sison -- Wells Fargo -- Analyst
Hey, guys. When I add up the revenue impact on supply disruptions, it looks like it's nearing $1 billion and -- so just curious, how do you think you'll get that back over time? And how long do you think it will take to sort of get the raw materials in place to do that and curious how confident you are about Halloween?
Was that a Cleveland Browns reference? Is that what you're --?
Mike, it's Vince. I think your math is accurate. Two big components here: one, as Michael mentioned, the semiconductor chip really impacting our automotive and, to a lesser degree, our industrial business. We expect that to continue to rectify over the next couple of quarters. So really, we would hope in the back half improvement now through the first half of 2022 and then more normalcy in the back half of 2022. The other side of the equation is the commodity supplier force majeures that Michael just alluded to.
We're expecting that to largely rectify in the beginning part of 2022. We will be able to supply our customers and more importantly rebuild inventories, which is a piece of the equation that's missing here. So that those shortages we're seeing in 2021, will go back into our customer inventories throughout the year of 2022. So we're confident the demand is there and the runability issues and supply constraints around chips should be resolved in the coming quarters.
And I guess, Mike, I'd finish by saying that it won't surprise us to see you in a black and gold jersey once again after Halloween.
Our next question comes from Stephen Byrne from Bank of America. Please go ahead.
Steve Byrne -- BofA Securities -- Analyst
Yes. Thank you. So about a decade ago, you had a string of 4 or 5 quarters with mid-single-digit price increases. And here you just put up a 6%, you have some -- quite a different situation here than you did a decade ago and just would like to hear your view on whether something of that same trend might be repeatable with a string of mid-single-digit price increases? Or could they potentially be higher than that given the raws you're talking about going from a 25% year-over-year hit, it was 30% in this quarter. And you're talking about being able to offset it in early '22. Does that seem like a reasonable assumption on our end that those price increases are going to get pushed even higher?
Stephen, we tried to convey that in the slides that we published last night. We're expecting to have a higher increase in the fourth quarter than we did in the third quarter. And I would say that is essentially already in place. So it's just a matter of what it rounds to, but it's going to be higher than the 6% that we posted in 3Q. And in the first quarter, there will be additional price increases as well. So the magnitude of the increases are historic, but so is the amount of inflation.
Our teams feel very good about this. Our customers are well aware of what's going on. They also need product. They're also facing logistics challenges. They're also facing raw material challenges, and they buy a number of the things that we buy, maybe not to the level that we do but they understand it. And so I feel very confident that we're going to continue to put up historical price increase numbers that will help us when raw materials moderate. This will be a significant catalyst for continued earnings growth going forward.
Our next question comes from John McNulty from BMO. Please go ahead.
John McNulty -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Maybe just another one on the price versus raws dynamics. So you're looking to kind of catch up in early 2022. Is that all on the premise of pricing or do you expect some raw material relief as you start to get into the first quarter or so of '22? And I guess somewhat related to that, you've got about $500 million worth of sales tied to M&A in the third quarter. I guess sometimes it takes a little bit of time to get the pricing wheel of an acquired asset working.
So I guess, can you speak to the pricing that you're seeing in the businesses that you acquired and if there's maybe a catch-up phase of that as we look to 2022? Thanks a lot.
Yes. John, I'll take the first part of the question, I'll let Michael handle the second part on acquisitions. We're in a position now where we believe the inflation levels are crusting. We have 30% targeted inflation in Q4, the supply constraints, as we alluded to earlier, we think are going to abate somewhat. And so again, our goal is to get pricing up to offset this high level of inflation. And some of this will moderate, and we are starting to see some signs of moderation. But, again, given the tightness of the supply chain right now, it's not coming through in absolute percentages, but we are starting to see in certain raw materials some abating.
For us, though, I think what's most important is we've gone after structural price increases. The vast majority of the pricing that Michael alluded to, the 6% in Q3, almost all of that is structural in nature. So we're changing unit pricing as opposed to surcharges. We think that's proper to do, that will -- so those structural price increases will remain as we head into 2022 and throughout the duration of 2022.
And John, with regard to the acquisitions, Ennis-Flint, the highest they'd ever achieved price prior to our acquisition, was 2%. And they did not have what I would call a structured program to analyze what was going on and a structured program to get price increases out in a real-time basis. We have significantly improved that, and we have a PPG legacy leader running that business now, and we are really excited about what that future holds. Myself and Tim Knavish were in Europe, like within days when Tikkurila closed, that was the first thing on the agenda, was pricing.
We were much further ahead in the price increase. We had already done our second price increase in architectural Europe prior to us acquiring Tikkurila. They were on their first increase. They are now catching up. They have put in place new processes that will allow them to better process not just raw material inflation but also the value creation that we bring to the market with our new technology. And I feel very comfortable that we're on top of that, and we are in a good position, not only with the increases we've announced for the fourth quarter with the legacy Tikkurila products, but also the first quarter increases that are to come.
Our next question comes from Kevin McCarthy from Vertical Research Partners. Please go ahead.
Kevin McCarthy -- Vertical Research Partners -- Analyst
Good morning. Given all of the dislocations in the external environment that we've been discussing, it struck me that your fourth quarter EPS range was quite narrow at plus or minus $0.03. And so in that context, I was wondering if you could talk about material upside or downside risks if it turns out that you did materially better or worse when we see the results in January. What do you think the potential drivers of those variances could be, based on what you see today?
Hey, Kevin, this is Vince. We're typically announcing earnings a week or so earlier, but due to the way the calendar fell this year, we're 20 days, 3 weeks into the quarter. October is a very large month for most coatings companies in the fourth quarter just due to seasonality. We've got a good read on October. We've got a good read on the next couple of weeks, at least, of demand and our ability to supply. So just given the size of the first month plus as it waits on the quarter, we have some level of confidence.
That being said, things that could push it up or down, again, as Michael alluded to earlier, everything we can make today we could sell. So if we do get more raw materials, we are able to manufacture more, that would be a positive for the fourth quarter. As you alluded to, Kevin, there still could be some things out there that could suppress the ability to get raw materials like logistics and that would be a negative. But we think all the other variables, we have a fairly good handle on.
The next question comes from Laurent Farve from Exane BNPP. Please go ahead.
Laurent Favre -- Exane BNP Paribas -- Analyst
Yes, good morning. I've got a question on capital allocation. Nippon just announced the Cromology deal this week. Michael, I think you just talked about resuming buybacks in Q4. So I was wondering should we assume that the M&A pipeline is getting thin? And can you give us a sense of the overall envelope for the buyback you've got in mind for the next 12 months?
Yes, Laurent. So first of all, I would not say the M&A pipeline has slowed down. In fact, I would tell you that, that has picked up because of the high prices that have been paid, so there's more interest out there. What we said about the buyback is, first, we think PPG is a structurally sound company. We think the current price on PPG is undervalued, and so we're going to buy some shares back. So that's the first thing.
The second thing is we also generate a lot of cash in the fourth quarter. That's our strongest quarter for cash. So we're going to pay down debt as well as buy back stock. And we're in good shape as we look at the pipeline to -- for acquisitions. So I don't think it's any more complicated than that.
The next question comes from Aziza Gazieva from Fermium Research. Please go ahead.
Aziza Gazieva -- Fermium Research -- Analyst
Hi, guys. So you're calling for 30% inflation in the fourth quarter. But could you put an estimate on your current read for inflation for 2022 versus 2021? Vince mentioned that some of the raws are abating, but which products are still a particular concern into 2022? Thank you.
Yes. I'll handle the macro, and I'll let Michael talk about some specifics. But, again, when we look at the raw material basket in aggregate, we do feel it's crusting. We'll have some year-over-year inflation in Q1 just because we didn't have the level of inflation in Q1 last year -- or this year, excuse me. So there'll be some year-over-year comparisons. But the absolute prices on raws, we feel, will hold as we go into 2022. Michael, can you talk some specific, please?
Yes. Aziza, I would tell you that the three items that I'm paying particular attention to are epoxies, emulsions and isocyanates. Emulsions, in particular, have been elevated purely due to the inability of the suppliers to run their plants. It was impacted by IDA as well because a couple of raw material suppliers there were impacted down more than a month due to that. And so once they're back to normal rates, some of the stress on pricing, I think, will start to come back down. And so that's one.
The epoxy, especially in China, I'm anticipating that they will moderate the pricing demand as we get into the fourth quarter with seasonality, and that will provide some relief. And from the isocyanates, we did have some force majeures in that area. That will be coming off, I think, in the very near term. So those are the ones I'm paying attention to.
The next question is from Arun Viswanathan from RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.
Arun Viswanathan -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
Great. Thanks for taking my question. Just a two-part question here. So first on margins. Just wondering, obviously, there's a lot of volatility, and it's going to depend on price capture versus raws. But how should we think about margin recovery next year? Is there anything special that you have as far as cost reduction buckets or anything that would be specific that you could call out?
And then secondly, I was just curious on your comments on EVs and beverage cans, two areas that have been robust. Have those been impacted? I know that you called out some supply chain disruptions there, but have those been disrupted from a structural standpoint on demand? Or is it just transitory? Thanks.
Yes, Arun, I'll handle the margin question, and I'll let Michael do the commercial side here. If you look at -- we're projecting -- we'll give obviously more numbers out in January on our fourth quarter earnings call. But we do have an active restructuring program. We're part of the way through that program. 2021 savings on that are in the $130 million range. We would expect additional savings in 2022 as we continue to execute against the actions that we have previously outlined for that.
And, again, we'll give a number on that in January. More importantly and idiosyncratic for PPG, we do have synergy capture next year, typically 12 to 15 months after an acquisition we start to realize additional structural synergies. Again, we'll give a number out in January. But those are two elements to the margin expansion opportunities on the cost base.
And then, Arun, I'd tell you, on EVs, obviously, you saw how Tesla performed last night when they reported. And I would tell you there's virtually all of the global guys are very dead serious about improving their EV at a faster rate than what the current projections are. I don't know if you saw it yesterday, one of the largest EV producers in China, even though the government says they want 20% by 2025, this particular company said they expect it to be 35% by 2025. So the momentum in EV continues to build.
From the beverages, that is going to continue to be strong. We're up double digits in beverage, and there's -- I've actually lost count of the number of plants. I think there's either 13 or 14 new plants that are in the process of being built. And those new plants will need a lot of coatings. And we are winning more than our fair share in that beverage space. So I anticipate beverage to continue to be strong as people shift away from single-use plastic into recyclable beverage containers. So I'm looking for that to be a long-term sustainable play.
Our next question comes from David Begleiter from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.
Michael Harrison -- Seaport Research Partners -- Analyst
This is David Honiere[Phonetic] here for Dave. Can you talk about why you're below the IHS auto build forecast in Q4? And how much of an EPS impact is from that lower forecast? Thanks.
Yes, thanks. This is John Bruno. So I remind everybody going into 2Q and 3Q, PPG has been below the IHS forecast, and I think we've come out ahead in terms of accuracy. We do see things improving. We just don't see the velocity of improvement that IHS is forecasting for the fourth quarter. We see more of a gradual recovery into 2022.
The next question comes from Kevin Hocevar from Northcoast Research. Please go ahead.
Kevin Hocevar -- Northcoast Research Partners -- Analyst
Hey, good morning everybody. You mentioned DIY paint demand being back to 2019 type levels. So do you think that the underlying demand is back to 2019 for DIY paint? And do you think that the supply chain issues are what's holding that back? Or -- yes, I mean, has there been -- is there just been because things were so robust to pull forward of demand? And I'm curious of your thoughts there and how you see it going forward?
Yes, Kevin, it's moving back toward 2019. It's still above it. But actually, if you go into a Home Depot, you'll see how bare the shelves are. I mean, there's just not enough paint out there, and that is a challenge for our partners. Minage[Phonetic] certainly would like to have a lot more paint than they're getting right now. So we're working hard to try to meet our big box customer needs. So I actually do think that there's more upward potential there as the supply chain normalizes.
Our next question comes from Mike Harrison from Seaport Research Partners. Please go ahead.
Hi. Good morning. I was wondering if you could give us an update on the competitive environment within the auto OEM space. All of you and suppliers are hurting, the customers are hurting, do you see any share shift going on in this environment? And can you maybe talk about industry pricing discipline into that auto OEM coatings market? Thanks.
Yes. So Mike, I would tell you that the discipline is better in Europe and the US and Latin America, and it's still a little bit challenged in Asia. That doesn't surprise us. China is historically a difficult place, plus there's more than 80 car guys in Asia. So there's all the global plus all the locals. And so there's a little bit more competitive attention. But what I would tell you is, for us any time that we might lose some share, get punished for raising price, we get it back very quickly as they roll out new programs because they have to put the finest technology out there on the newest programs to compete in that market because it's hyper competitive from an appearance and performance standpoint. So I'm not worried too much about that. We've been pushing the team to continue to raise price appropriately, and that's what we're doing.
The next question comes from Steven Haynes from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Steven Haynes -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Hey, thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could go into a bit more detail on your pricing in the industrial segment by end market. It seems like packaging was potentially pretty strong, maybe double digits. So just any additional color there would be helpful.
I'm not sure I want to get into that level of detail, Steven. What I would tell you is we've posted more than 6% in the industrial. We had strong positive price in automotive, industrial as well as packaging. And these conversations with our customers are one on one, and I think that's the way it should remain.
Our next question comes from Duffy Fischer from Barclays. Please go ahead.
Patrick Fischer -- Barclays Bank -- Analyst
Hey good morning guys. Maybe three questions, if I can sneak it in. On your one chart that you showed the acquisitions, you saw the seasonality of the revenue. Can you talk about the seasonality of the margins off that chart and what that would look like? Then on your Chart 6, where you break out kind of the 60% PPG, 40% PPG that has struggled volumetrically, what is the difference in margins between those two buckets? And the 40% that's been lower on volumes, has it been harder to get price in those businesses because of the lower volumes?
Let me start just, Duffy, with the first question. Well, I'll start with the 60-/0 question, because I think that's more relevant right now. If you look at the 60/40 question, the businesses that are down -- the 40% of the businesses that are down, let's call it, low teens in terms of volume versus 2019, these are very technology-rich businesses. They typically command the value for the technology. We've seen good pricing as evidenced by the segment pricing. Two of these businesses fall in performance. Performance pricing is up 6%. They're very big businesses. So they're going to have an impact on the segment.
The automotive business is our biggest business in industrial. So it's going to have, again, an outsized impact on the aggregate pricing. So, again, we're capturing pricing collectively across the portfolio and it's not differential based on the 60/40.
Yes. And I would say, Duffy, listen, the fact that they're down has not prevented us from getting price. So as you know, in Refinish, we are historically an annual price. This year, we've had more than one price increase in Refinish. So that has not prevented it. Automotive clearly has not prevented it. The automotive guys would like every kilo[Phonetic] of coating that we can provide, so they would definitely would like to get more. And then from the aerospace side, as you know, it's a very technology-driven business and so -- and it's a very spec-driven business and so our ability to get price on the MRO side is actually pretty good. So that has been not been impacted either.
So, when I look at the catalyst for 2022, these businesses are certainly going to be a strong contributor to the increase in earnings for next year.
And in terms of this seasonality from the acquisitions, we did put in the appendix of the materials we distributed last evening, the sales seasonality. You would expect and it's accurate that the earnings seasonality is even more pronounced. These are businesses that have a fixed cost base, especially architectural. So you do get more leverage -- there's more leverage on the peak sales quarters. And there's certainly less leverage on the sales quarters on either end of the peak. So definitely more pronounced earnings impact in Q1 and Q4. And we'll see the reciprocal of that, Duffy, in Q2 next year. We didn't have Tikkurila for the vast portion of Q2 2021. And in Q2 2022, we'll see that positive leverage.
The next question comes from Jaideep Pandya from On Field Investment Research. Please go ahead.
Jaideep Pandya -- On Field Investment Research -- Analyst
Thanks. I have two questions. Firstly, on growth, actually. When you think about the European business in deco and compare it to some of the other periphery businesses like the adhesives industry or construction sort of building materials, light building materials industry, and think in the context of the green wave and the renovation wave that will kick into Europe as we speak for the next few years. Do you think that paint and sort of adhesives building materials volume growth is sort of similar in trajectory, or do you think that paint actually will slightly undergrow because of the higher penetration for a lot of these materials in the sort of increased insulation demand? That's my first question.
And the second question is really around raw materials. So if you take a step back, I guess, you guys have lost probably 15% to 20% of supply because of Ida and Uri and all the other issues across your basket this year. Fundamentally speaking, do you think your suppliers have invested enough in things like epoxy, acrylic acid to support the growth that your industry is seeing? In other words, do you think that even if supply normalizes, utilization in these products will remain high and therefore, you will always remain a bit susceptible to a storm or two? Thanks a lot.
Hey, Jaideep, this is Michael. I'll take the first one, which is the suppliers. I think they're clearly hampered this year because I think in the pandemic, they did not do the required maintenance. They postponed some things, and they got caught short by the recovery. And so as they postponed maintenance or underspent, that has impacted their ability to deliver what we wanted. So I would tell you that, that, obviously, they're all making very good money right now, and they're all interested in getting their reliability up at or above where they were pre-2019. So I anticipate this to get better. I'll let Vince cover the adhesives and sealants versus paint for Europe questions.
Yes. I think when we just think about ESG, which I think was the heart of your question, typically these products like adhesive sealants like coatings act as an enabler to provide better ESG capabilities longer term, longer lasting. And the aftermarkets typically provide the same opportunities to reduce people's environmental footprint. So the coatings industry, the adhesives industry, every time there's been a technology change, we're seeing it in EVs, we typically get more content and we typically are able to provide the functionality needed in order for them to make technology improvements to cover whatever that technology change is. In this case, it's better environmental performance.
The next question comes from Edlain Rodriguez from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Edlain Rodriguez -- Jefferies -- Analyst
Thank you. Good morning, guys. Just one quick question on raw materials and, again, apologies if you already addressed that. Like in terms of the raw materials availability issues you've seen this quarter, like was it mostly concentrated in the US because of the hurricanes or was it broad-based in all the different regions?
Yes. So Edlain, what I'd tell you is the worst was in the US, OK? So that was obviously challenged with Hurricane Ida. The next most impacted over the quarter was Europe because they do buy some things from the US. So that has impacted, especially our architectural business over there. And then the one that got impacted last but somewhat meaningful was the dual control issue in China that started late in September because there were a lot of government edicts, people were supposed to meet their quarterly goals, and they were not on track to meet the quarterly goals. So starting about mid-September, there was a lot of pressure to get the dual control initiatives underway and on target. And in China, when they set targets, you can almost rest assured they're going to hit those targets. So that's the way -- there was no real material challenges in Latin America. They came out of the US but we were able to manage through most of those.
Yes. Thank you.
[Operator Instructions] The next question is from Eric Petrie from Citi. Please go ahead.
Eric Petrie -- Citigroup -- Analyst
Hi, good morning, guys. Been reading about potential for magnesium shortages, which goes into producing aluminum alloys for auto, aerospace, construction end markets. So are you worried there at all with China still in control and low inventory levels in Europe?
Yes. Eric, I would tell you that none of our big aerospace guys have right now put out any concerns about magnesium nor have our EV customers. So right now, that is not currently on the radar screen. We're always trying to look around the corner, but that is one that so far has not raised its head.
There are no further questions at this time. Mr. John Bruno, I turn the call back over to you.
Thank you, Jason, and we'd like to thank everyone for joining the call today, for your time and interest in PPG. This concludes our third quarter earnings call.
This concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.

Enhancing Parental Involvement with MMC Patients
Published on Apr 15, 2019 in Neonatology Update
Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU)
CHOP has one of the longest standing programs to treat patients with myelomeningocele (MMC). Since 1995, more than 2000 families have been referred for evaluation in the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. More than 300 in utero surgeries have been performed to treat these infants before birth, and since 2008 more than 400 infants with the diagnosis of MMC have been delivered in the Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit.
Parental involvement in care is essential for guaranteeing the best outcomes for our complicated patients. Recent years have also seen the expansion of care pathways to ensure consistency in care for patient populations. This creates predictability for the clinical teams, but none of this is directed toward families, who often remain in the dark about what to expect.
To address this, clinicians from Neurosurgery and Neonatology developed a coordinated effort to enhance parental understanding of care during the admission of their newborn infants with MMC. The team began by critically reviewing the MMC care pathway (one of the first pathways for neonates at CHOP) and determined which aspects were important for families to understand, particularly as it relates to length of admission and timing of discharge.
A "Care Map" was then developed that is now given to each family of an infant with MMC. This tool can now be used by the multiple involved services to show where they are contributing to the infant's care and how certain aspects of the clinical course may impact discharge. Surveys from families were obtained before and after this intervention and showed that families report improved satisfaction and quality of communication with care teams.
In addition to this Care Map, we are thrilled that Katie Schmidt, MSN, CRNP, has transitioned to a newly created role following spina bifida patients from prenatal diagnosis through their stay in the Harriet and Ronald Lassin Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU), then throughout their lifespan, which will hopefully create a familiar and consistent face for families. She will work closely with our hospital's Spina Bifida Program and other systems in place to analyze, support and continue to improve the care provided to this unique patient population. Katie will also work closely with the surgical team in the N/IICU for the care of these patients and establish relationships with families through prenatal diagnosis, N/IICU admission, and follow-up care as outpatients. Responsibilities will also include participation in research as well as study coordination for diagnosis-specific trials. Katie will divide her time between her new role and will continue to work as a surgical nurse practitioner in the N/IICU.

Nigel was clearly the star of the Serbian Cup.
Noted a couple of familiar names on KK Crvena zvezda mts roster: Taylor Rochestie, who Zag fans will remember from his time at WSU, and Mathias Lessort, who was the subject of a number of threads on guboards in 2014, when he was being recruited by the Zags.
Very proud of NWG and I'm willing to bet he lands full-time on a NBA roster in 2018-2019 as he has proven his doubters wrong this year.
He hasn't really proven anything about deserving to be in the NBA yet. He is starring on a solid but not spectacular team in an ok league.
He has proven he can play in a better European league at a much higher salary. I think he is more likely going to get the call to a EuroLeague team next year which is fantastic. He if can excel there then he may (may!) get a solid shot with an NBA team.
Basically he started his career at a similar level as Pangos. Has played great like Pangos and should move up like Pangos. KP is actually starring in the EuroLeague and has a much more legit shot at an NBA roster in 18/19 than NWG.
Nigel working on completing what he started....... Great Zag!

In Sanskrit, 'Vira' means hero, 'bhadr' means friend, and āsana means posture, or pose. According to Yoga Journal, Warrior II is "named after of a fierce warrior, an incarnation of Shiva, described as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet, wielding a thousand clubs, and wearing a tiger's skin." According to B.K.S. Iyengar, author of 'Light on Yoga', (often referred to as the "Bible of Modern Yoga'), "through this pose the leg muscles become shapely and stronger. It relieves cramps in the calf and thigh muscles, and brings elasticity to leg and back muscles while toning abs."

We are extremely excited to announce that Cabaret Theatre Company's next production will be the all-time favourite Annie!
Auditions will be held Summer 2019.
More details will follow nearer the time!
Based in Burton on Trent, Cabaret Theatre Company have been bringing a mix of innovative theatre and family favourites to the Brewhouse stage since 2012.
Formed by Cabaret Theatre School principal Sally Everson and director Daniel David Webber, the theatre company was originally established to provide the senior students and teachers of the school with the opportunity to perform a full musical production each year.
The Company is now producing it's 6th show with some of the most talented performers in the area. Last year they took on the firm favourite "Jospeph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", and this March the newly-formed adult company are thrilled to be bringing Chicago to the Brewhouse.
"Leading the cast in the title role, Harry Whetton was, as ever, the consummate professional. He continues to blossom as an actor and a singer and I see great things for him in the future. He was joined by a first-class cast of talented young actors including the incredible Lilly Price as the Narrator whose voice is simply sublime.
My absolutely favourite was Those Canaan Days which featured a solo by the gifted Jake Chatburn as Napthali, backed by Joseph's brothers.
"Barnum is a clever musical with flicks and tricks and it takes a strong cast to make it work. Cabaret Theatre Company did just that at Burton's Brewhouse Arts Theatre.
Leads Harry Whetton and Autumn Beddoe were outstanding, captivating the audience from the moment they entered the stage. For a pair so young, they led an altogether strong cast with confidence and assurance.
"The show was fun and entertaining from beginning to end, leaving the audiences on a high and wanting more.
Collectively the main cast all delivered sharp, confident performances and the other cast members complemented them well.
"Once again the Cabaret Theatre Company has come up with a cracking show for their Burton audience. The cast manage to make the singing and dancing look both slick and easy and the acting is faultless.
"This company delivered a fantastic ensemble performance full of pace, polish and professionalism.
The 20-strong cast were clearly doing what they loved, but I'd nominate them for a host of prizes too for singing, dancing and comic timing in this fun-packed musical.
"The cast of 20 youngsters showed great poise and professionalism, not to mention style and pizzazz as they took us through the show.
Every single performer lit up the stage with their presence and there was a wonderful sense of camaraderie projected across the footlights.
Sally trained as a dancer from the age of five, at the Carole Robison School of Dance in Derby and turned professional at the age of nineteen. She worked as a dancer in cabaret shows in Portugal, Greece and Japan for three years and retired at the age of 22! Miss Sally opened Cabaret Theatre School in Burton in September 1996, and a second branch in Littleover, Derby in 2003. She continues to train and hopes to become an examiner for the IDTA.
Chris is an ex-student of Cabaret Theatre School and now continues his involvement as the Director of our Theatre Company's productions.
Chris is also a circus performer and workshop practitioner. He regularly appears as Messy Moss with 'Furthest from the Sea, Music Comedy and Arts' and also worked as our circus skills coach for our Barnum production and Happy Birthday Show in Burton.
Charlotte is a piano, singing, flute and music theory teacher with a Masters degree in Music from the University of Nottingham.
She has enjoyed Musical Director roles for shows including 'Little Shop of Horrors', 'Barnum', 'Joseph' (Cabaret Theatre Company), 'Legally Blonde', 'West Side Story', 'Phantom of the Opera' (Derby Youth Musical Theatre), 'Grease', 'Jesus Christ Superstar' (Long Eaton Operatic Society), 'Crazy for You' (Erewash Musical Society) and 'The Addams Family Musical' (Heanor Musical Theatre Company).
