Supporting America's Infrastructure
Freeport-McMoRan: Providing the Copper to Charge Transport
One of the fastest growing sectors of infrastructure is the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. As more and more EVs hit the roads, they need power and cities are building charging stations to accommodate. White Plains, NY, a city of about 60,000, currently has 25 charging stations, with three more on the way for fall 2019. The state of Florida announced it will be adding 1,000 stations across the state.
But charging stations don't build themselves. These installations require copper, and a lot of it. A single charging station can use up to 17 pounds of copper, and in 2016, one company's total sale of chargers amounted to more than 295,000 lbs of copper. A report from Wood Mackenzie found that by 2030, the demand for copper for EV charging stations alone would raise consumption more than 250% compared with 2019.
Fortunately, copper is a mineral we can supply here in the United States. Freeport-McMoRan expects to sell 3.3 billion pounds of copper in 2019. Its seven copper mines lie in Arizona and New Mexico, and through exploration drilling, Freeport-McMoRan has identified a significant resource in eastern Arizona. The new project, Lone Star, is expected to have a 20-year mine life and average approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year.
Projects like Lone Star are what America needs to power our future. Copper demand is set to rise, and companies like Freeport-McMoRan will lead the way to supply that copper and keep our EVs running.

Why this Rating?

by Wendy Irvine
The Bluegreen Fountains Resort is a fabulous stay for families with a vacation bucket list of a two- or three-bedroom villa with full kitchens and a washer and dryer, three pools plus waterslides, and a prime Orlando location. The resort is a timeshare so if you've often wondered what you'd find at a Bluegreen property, visiting the Fountains as a hotel guest would give you an informative sneak peek.
The Fountains resort has nine buildings, plus their huge Clubhouse sprawling over 54 acres and all surrounding Lake Eve. The resort's claim to fame is both being close to many Orlando theme parks and boasting three spectacular pools — two with all the bells and whistles to keep your kids ecstatic for days on end. In fact, consider visiting the Fountains when you're free to stay all day and enjoy the property — the kids won't be hankering to leave the onsite fun anytime soon!

The Fountains offers over 700 two- and three-bedroom villas and a three-bedroom presidential suite, all with full kitchens, a screened-in balcony, washer/dryer units, irons and ironing boards, hairdryers, free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs in each bedroom and a larger flat-screen in the living room (with on-demand movies and cable). Furnishings feature a dark wood and burgundy palette with a streamlined, modern vibe.
The villas do not come with a cleaning service unless a guest is staying eight days or more. On the eighth day, a complimentary cleaning is provided. Guests staying less than eight days can request a "tidy" service ($75) or a full cleaning ($125). Fresh towels and additional dishes and flatware are complimentary. Just call the front desk.
Every villa comes with a sofa bed in the living room, and while kitchens are stocked with dishes and flatware for six, as many as eight, plus a baby, can sleep comfortably in a two-bedroom villa, while even more can sleep in a three-bedroom villa. The master bath features a small whirlpool tub, a separate shower, and a private toilet. The second bathroom is standard with a tub and shower combo.
The kitchen sports everything you'd expect to find at home including a full refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, flatware, wine glasses, coffee mugs, colander, cheese graters and more. The dining room seats four guests with two more stools at the bar. Every villa has a screened-in balcony with an overhead fan, and a table and comfy chairs for al fresco dining.
Cribs are available free of charge, but rollaway beds and connecting rooms are not available.
Two-Bedroom Standard Villa
The basic villas provide a king bed in the master room and two twin beds in the second bedroom. These villas are 1,034 square feet in size.
Two-Bedroom Villa
These villas come with a king in the master, two full beds in the second bedroom and delivers 1,190 square feet of space.
Two-Bedroom Superior Villa
These Superior Villas provide king beds in the master and two full beds in the second bedroom, with an even larger footprint giving guests 1,278 square feet of space.
Two-Bedroom Deluxe Villa
These villas are the largest two-bedroom option available at the Fountains and they clock in at a spacious 1,343 square feet. The master bedroom comes with a king bed and the second bedroom delivers a queen bed and a sofa bed. Another sofa bed sits in the living room.
Three-Bedroom Villa
The three-bedroom villas come with a square-footage of 1,965. The pool-with-no-name and a whirlpool both sit beside building one, where these villas are located. The three-bedroom has two king-bed master rooms and a third room with a queen-bed and a pull-out sofa; there's no pull-out sofa in the living room.

Great Location! Reasonable Rates! Everything Onsite
by mstoie
This locations is the ultimate all inclusive! You really never have to leave the property and the rooms/ condos have everything you need. We came to visit Universal Studios which was minutes up the road from the location. This was overall just the best location with outlets, malls, and restaurants all very close by
Orlando without the Parks
by Nosorog63
We love going to the fountains resort in Orlando! 22,000 square-foot swimming pool it's just one of the attractions, love taking the kids to Orlando without having to go to the parks. All the rooms are newly renovated. Great bang for the buck.
Clubhouse Pool
A 6,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor pool sits directly behind the main check-in building called the Clubhouse and beside Lake Eve. Palm trees, an outdoor whirlpool and a large toddler pool with fountains complete the beautiful pool scene. Chaise lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas and chairs for four are sprinkled throughout the pool area.
The indoor portion of the pool has a zero-entry "beach" entrance and is shouldered by a family-oriented indoor bar called Splash that serves frozen drinks and kid-friendly meals. Two flat-screen TVs are available, too. A whirlpool also sits beside the indoor pool.
Restrooms sit very near the action for convenience. Lifeguards are not on duty. The pool area is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Wakoola Springs
The Wakoola Springs area is a 75,000-square-foot tropical treasure with two twisting (but not scary) waterslides, a zero-entry pool, interactive water fountains and two whirlpools. Kids must be 42 inches tall to ride the waterslides. Slides are open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. A children's splash pool is also on hand for children.
The pool is ringed in chaise lounges, restrooms, designated smoking areas (a sign specifically disallows smoking near the kiddie pool) and a large outdoor snack bar serving burgers, frozen drinks and more.
The Wakoola Springs area is a stunner, no doubt, but during the out-of-school holidays and summer months, this resort is popular so to score a chaise, you need to reserve chairs early by draping towels over them and hoping for the best. There are also no lifeguards on duty, so parents need to helicopter kids at every moment for safety.
A station sells hair braids, hair wraps, and air-brush tattoos. A volleyball net beckons from inside the pool and a giant chess game sits beside the pool.
Guests can rent regular and deluxe cabanas at the Wakoola Springs pool kiosk. Small and large cabana prices range from $40 to $75 depending on half-day or full-day rentals and size of cabana. The cabanas feature chaise lounges, a small fan and an ice bucket. Outdoor showers are sprinkled around the pool. It is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Quiet Pool
Technically this beautiful, quiet pool lives with no name, which is a shame because it's clearly meant to be the quiet pool that calls to adults wanting to languidly float, frozen drink in hand. A staff member casually referred to the pool as the "Lake Eve Pool." A whirlpool sits beside the pool with restrooms. It is open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
This enormous space for kids has air hockey and loads of video games. A room for younger kids to play, watch movies and create arts and crafts sits just off the game room. Arts and crafts projects include painting ceramics and designing your own flip-flops (for a fee). The Fountains Resort does not provide babysitting.
The Fountains has a volleyball net, a tetherball and a small sandy beach with Adirondack-style chairs.
Guests can rent an electric catamaran at the Water's Edge kiosk that sits next to the Clubhouse pool.
Firepits ideal for roasting S'mores are situated around the property and hammocks also swing in the sun for cooler-weather lounging.
Theme Park Neighbors
The Fountains sits close to the Orlando action. Walt Disney World is an eight-minute drive away, Universal Orlando is 14 minutes away, Sea World is six minutes and Gatorland is a 13-minute drive.
Not quite an hour's drive to the east and you'll be at the Kennedy Space Center in Port Canaveral (worth it for science-fans). Head southwest for a breezy 48-minute drive to LEGOLAND Florida (an incredible day to remember for your mini-figs).
Sitting in the beautiful Clubhouse lobby is H20 serving martinis, appetizers and dinner. It is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, though the kitchen closes at 9 p.m.
Splash is the pool-bar that sits in the Clubhouse's indoor/outdoor area with over a dozen bar chairs and frozen drinks, salads, flatbreads and burgers. A kids' menu is also available. It is open from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily.
Located in the Clubhouse, Starbucks serves up your favorites all day and into the evening. It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Wakoola Springs Grill
You'll find this casual grill at the Wakoola Springs pool area (aka the insanely sprawling pool with the slides). Live music with a singer and guitar is often on scene in the afternoons and evenings. The grill serves burgers, appetizers and frozen drinks from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
The Market at the Fountains
The Market is a convenient stop-off located in the Clubhouse for pastries, muffins, sandwiches, chips, sodas, staples and more. You'll also find items that you might have forgotten to pack, like shorts, hats, sunblock, flip-flops and so forth. Need a bottle of red or white wine? A huge selection is on hand. It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
BBQ and Picnic Areas
You'll find gas and charcoal grills and outdoor tables throughout the resort close to each villa's building for convenience.
All About the Extras
The resort maintains a strict "outdoor food policy" in the pool areas, which states that guests can bring in small coolers with individually packaged snacks and baby food, but full meals are not allowed.
Purchase Orlando theme park tickets at a slight discount at the Fountains Clubhouse (Disney and Universal are offered on a multi-day basis).
The Fountain's fitness center sits on the ground floor in the Clubhouse and has huge flat-screen TVs, cardio machines, free weights and yoga balls.
Full washer and dryer units, plus soap, are in every villa.
Resort Fee
A resort fee of $12.51 per day covers onsite parking, free Wi-Fi and pool towels.
Check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out is at 10 a.m.
The Art of Smart Timing
Keep in mind that over 700 villas can accommodate four to 10 guests each, meaning that the Fountains' three pools and snack areas will be brimming with people during the busy seasons. When school is out - springbBreak, all holidays, and summer vacation -- the Fountains is packed. Scoring a chaise lounge may be challenging work. Lay out your towel early.
The quiet time to visit the resort is in late September, October, January and February. Parts of March, April, and early to mid-May are also quiet.
The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a 21-minute drive, depending on traffic, to the Fountains Resort. The Fountains is located along Orlando's International Drive. Rent a car at the airport if planning to explore the Orlando area and all of its attractions.
The Fountains has a comfortable shuttle bus that transfers people and luggage around the large property. Need a ride to the fitness room at the Clubhouse? Just call the front desk and place your request. Plan to meet the driver in your building's lobby. The shuttle operates from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For Mom and Dad
H20 in the Fountain's Clubhouse is a lovely spot to stop without the kids for a martini and adult conversation. For off-property fun, head to one of the local golf courses. Grande Vista Golf Club & Marriott Golf Academy is a six-minute drive from the Fountains. The Kids Golf-4-Free program allows kids 15 years and younger to play at no charge after 3 p.m. when accompanying a paying adult. Hawk's Landing Golf Club is also nearby and is an eight-minute drive from the Fountains.

The cascading impact of call coverage disputes
In early September, Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, CA was given 48 hours to resolve a contract dispute that had resulted in the loss of neurosurgery coverage in their emergency department. If they had failed to resume coverage, they would have lost their designation as a Level I Trauma Center. According to The Sun, at least 21 patients had to be shipped to other facilities during the dispute. The practise of shipping patients carries a degree of risk, so this impacted the quality of care available at the hospital. Other facilities in the area that relied on CRMC were impacted as well. CRMC is the only Level I Trauma Center between Sacramento and Los Angeles, so any patient in the area who suffers severe stroke symptoms, for example, depends on the facility for care. The possibility of the entire San Joaquin Valley community losing access to that kind of care was alarming. It was also a reminder that a contract dispute can have very serious ramifications when it leads to gaps in coverage.
Disputes caused by distrust
Many contract disputes result from a long history of distrust between administration and physicians. An organization's approach to call pay often compounds its physicians' distrust. The most common approach to call pay is to conduct single-specialty negotiations behind closed doors. The lack of transparency inherent in these negotiations contributes to a perception of unfairness. This not only encourages resentment towards administration, it also pits specialties against one another. It's no surprise that call pay is a natural point of contention in low-trust environments. But the fact that it's a point of contention also makes it a good place to start when you want to rebuild trust and turn your hospital's culture around.
Rebuilding trust by inviting participation
Inviting physicians to participate in the process of building a call pay program can transform a hospital's relationship with its medical staff. Our Physicians' Call Committee brings together physicians from a wide range of specialties to discuss their call burdens with their peers and administrators. These discussions lead to the establishment of a fairness standard for all call pay rates. The result of the committee's work is a set of recommendations regarding which specialties should be included in the program and how much their per diems should be.
To ensure that call pay is no longer steeped in secrecy, the committee's recommendations are shared with members of the medical staff before they are presented to administration. Oftentimes, staff members are satisfied just knowing that a process has been put in place to make sure all call pay arrangements have been established in a fair manner. The benefits of having that kind of alignment cannot be overstated given that a hospital's medical staff is essential to the stability of its call coverage.
Preventing the next dispute
Our Physicians' Call Committee is designed to provide ongoing insight into the suitability of an organization's call pay program. The needs of an emergency department tend to change, as do specialties' call burdens, so the only way to make sure a program remains as fair, transparent, and inclusive as it was the day it was launched is to keep a call committee in place. By ensuring the ongoing suitability of a call pay program, the committee can also keep potential issues at bay, thus maintaining alignment between staff and administration.
We have 15 years of experience helping healthcare clients establish call pay programs, and we've observed that those who chose to entrust their call pay committees with the ongoing governance of their programs have been overwhelmingly more successful in minimizing conflict over call coverage and call compensation. As a result, they've had fewer disputes and fewer gaps in coverage, allowing them to remain a reliable resource to patients in their communities.
If you would like to learn more about our Physicians' Call Committee, and how it can help your organization avoid devastating contract disputes, schedule a call with one of our consultants today.

Q: 'unsafe-eval' MVC boilerplate I'm getting the error:

vendor.js:328 Uncaught EvalError: Refused to evaluate a string as JavaScript because 'unsafe-eval' is not an allowed source of the script in the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' localhost:* ajax.googleapis.com ajax.aspnetcdn.com".

I know I can solve this error by setting UnsafeEval = true,
but this is unsafe and open my site up to XSS vulnerabilities.
Therefore is there a way I can allow some scripts though, also forms when I use AJAX. maybe u guys can give me an example of how to use these methods I'm not quite sure how to do it.

1. Apple started its plan to kill optical drive in 2012 and it's almost completed now.
2. Still, thousands of millions of people are holding a mass of old discs, and maybe are buying new movie DVDs, having no idea how to cope with them.
Although online streaming service is rising, DVD disc has not been ditched at all. But we do need to catch up with trends, by ripping DVD to computer/home server in digital formats, which basically can be realized with free DVD rippers, such as HandBrake. Mac users may get trapped by how to backup DVD with no DVD drive. Well, there are two ways: get an external drive or rip DVD to Mac on Windows PC.
Note: Handbrake is no doubt great, especially for Mac OS, ripping DVD fast at simple steps. But free things always come with limitations. If you are trying to rip copy protected DVD to Mac with HandBrake, it's time to get a HandBrake alternative.
* Bypass all DVD encryptions, incl. Disney X-project DRM, CSS, region code, RCE, Sony ArccOS, UOPs.
* Constantly updated to rip newest protectd DVDs to 320+ formats/devices like MP4, AVI, iOS, Android, etc.
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum does a very good job backing up and transcoding your DVD collection, including your copy-protected discs. It worked flawlessly in my tests.
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is a very comfortable easy to use DVD ripper that worked fine with every DVD we asked it to rip.
HandBrake is compatible with various platforms, such as Mac, Windows, Ubuntu and others. Due to the lack of external optical drive, we choose to get HandBrake for Windows and do the DVD to Mac ripping test. Follow the next steps and let's learn how to rip DVD to Mac.
1. Download HandBrake-1.0.7-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe from its official site (https://handbrake.fr/). The latest version for Windows Vista or later is 1.0.7.
2. Open the .exe file and follow the wizard to get it installed, which normally takes you several seconds.
3. Open this DVD ripper for Mac.
1. Click Source in the top left corner, choose DVD disc, e.g. H:\ (TRANSFORMERS2_DISC1), and a banner pops up saying "Scanning source, please wait".
Note: Common ones will be loaded successfully right away, while copy protected ones like Disney DVD will end in error after scanning up to 99 titles one by one. To rip encrypted DVD to Mac, please turn to WinX DVD Ripper Platinum.
1. Click Browse to set the file destination.
2. Press Start button right beside Source and wait. Normally, ripping a 2.5h DVD disc to Mac/PC/MP4 needs about 30 minutes, output in a 2GB around file.
How to Rip Copy Protected DVDs to Mac?
Unblock all encrypted DVDs on PC for playing on Mac OS device.
Rip protected DVDs on/to Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, MP4, etc.
HandBrake, as we mentioned, is truly free and fast. The only one thing left to puzzle us is that if we can find a best HandBrake alternative that can cope with encrypted DVDs while keeping the fast DVD ripping speed? Certainly yes. Where HandBrake disappoints you, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum picks up the slack.
1. Both of this two DVD to Mac rippers rips DVD disc/ISO/VIDEO_TS folder fast, out of Super Encode Engine, Hyper-threading tech and kinds of encoding methods. As to the main interface, HandBrake looks more complicated because of too many adjustable settings.
2. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is built in with 350+ profiles, facilitating output file/gadget selection. Moreover, it enables full copy of DVD movies within only 5 minutes. Although HandBrake only has MP4 and MKV, in fact it meets the needs of most people.
3. [Most Important] WinX DVD Ripper Platinum can bypass all DVD copy protections, incl. DVD CSS, region code, RCE, Sony ArccOS, UOPs, Disney X-project DRM, and constantly update to support new encrypted DVDs. Install libdvdcss and HandBrake may access CSS. As for others, HandBrake has no solutions at least for now.
1. Download WinX DVD Ripper Platinum free trial or go get a full Giveaway version with license on its 11th anniversary giveaway.
2. After the installation, launch the program and click DVD Disc to load the file. Normally main title will be auto selected, meaning that copy protection has been unblocked.
4. Set a destination folder and click RUN. If any error happens, select Safe Mode and try again.

> Palestinian Car Thief Rams Police Checkpoint
Palestinian Car Thief Rams Police Checkpoint
Terrorism? Video of incident this morning when a Palestinian man smashed a stolen truck through a police road block.
Arutz Sheva Staff
Samaria Terrorism Car Thief
Police have released video footage of the moment a Palestinian car thief smashed his way through a police roadblock early Sunday morning.
As previously reported by Arutz Sheva, the driver - a Palestinian resident of Kafr Tamun in Samaria (Shomron) - was eventually taken into custody by Samaria District police near the city of Ariel.
He had initially stolen the truck and was being tailed by police as he made his way east on Highway 55.
Officers mobilized the Samaria central checkpoint to apprehend the thief - setting up a makeshift post on the main traffic thruway leading from Kfar Saba, in the west, to Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria, in the east.
As the truck approached, however, it began careening toward the police officers. In seconds it became clear that the driver had no intention of slowing down, and an officer fired a few warning shots into the air.
The driver then braked and began to flee on foot, with police officers trailing behind. After a few minutes, police successfully apprehended the driver, arresting him.
The incident is still being investigated to ascertain whether it was purely criminal in nature, or nationalistically-motivated. It follows a spate of attacks against Israelis by Palestinian terrorists using their vehicles to run down civilians and security forces, killing several civilians including a three-month-old baby.

Delhi's Coronavirus Under Control: CM Arvind Kejriwal
July 01, 2020 (New Delhi) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday assured that COVID-19 situation in the capital is 'under control', adding that is not "terrible" as predicted a month ago.
Addressing an online press briefing, the Delhi Chief Minister said, ''We've increased the number of tests. There is a good indication, earlier around 31 out of 100 people whose samples were collected tested positive for Coronavirus. Today, 13 out of 100 people test positive."
''In place of the predicted 60,000 active cases by the end of June, Delhi has only around 26,000, he said. The number of cases detected each day has also gone down from last week — around 2,500 a day instead of the close to 4,000, '' Mr Kejriwal further added.
Over the last 24 hours, 2,199 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Delhi, taking the total to 87,360. The number of fatalities has gone up to 2,742 with 62 more deaths reported in a single day. There are 26,270 active cases.
''"The situation is improving in Delhi in the last few days. However, there is no room for complacency. This virus is unpredictable. We must continue our efforts with more vigour, said Kejriwal while attributing to everyone's hard work.
With 87,000 cases, the national capital, which is the second worst-hit area in the country, is still short of the 1 lakh cases the experts had predicted at the beginning of last month.

The Artist announced the collaboration only one day after performing at the Parklife Festival in Manchester. The festival took place at Heaton Park. Additionally, the vast line-up also featured Frank Ocean, Chaka Khan, and A Tribe Called Quest.
Furthermore, yesterday Bill Board shared the Q & A session where they spoke with Marley about marijuana legalization, the tragic bombing at Ariana Grande's Manchester performance, his latest single releases, and his new album titled Stony Hill. The latest releases from the Reggae musician include "Nail Pon Cross" released last year.
The "Medication" single is a collaborative feat with his brother, Stephen Marley. The visual was released on June 8th.
Before these singles dropped, Damian Marley last gifted us with a joint album with Nas in 2010 and his 2005 Welcome To Jamrock album. Though, fans can expect Stony Hill on July 21st.
Lastly, in agreement with All Hip Hop's statement, 4:44 ads sparked rumors that Jay Z will be dropping an album soon. That said, Damian Marley shared some details about Jay Z's recent visit to Jamaica over the weekend.
So, anyone else as excited for the duo to drop the new collab?!

El Club Sportivo Patria es un club deportivo de la ciudad de Formosa de la provincia homónima, en Argentina. Fue fundado el 14 de octubre de 1911 y desde 2018 participa únicamente la Liga Formoseña, luego de su renuncia a participar del Torneo Regional Federal Amateur. Su presidente es Arturo Perelli. Es el único club de Formosa que jugó en la Primera División del Fútbol Argentino y actualmente se ubica en el puesto 87 (Era profesional) y 137 (Tabla histórica completa) de la Clasificación histórica de la primera división de fútbol argentino con 12 puntos.

El Estadio Antonio Romero que utiliza es propiedad de la Liga Formoseña de Fútbol, con una capacidad de 23.000 espectadores, se encuentra en la Av. Gobernador Gutnisky 2800.

Patria es conocido como decano ya que fue el primer club de fútbol fundado en la ciudad de Formosa. Su primer presidente fue don Francisco Bibolini. Utiliza camiseta con bastones rojos y blancos. Es el club más laureado de la Liga Formoseña de Fútbol con 17 títulos.

Su clásico rival era Club Sportivo Sarmiento, con el cual durante muchos años se disputaron los torneos regionales. En 1992 el club Sarmiento se retira de la práctica del fútbol, dejando así, como clásico rival al Club Social Cultural Recreativo y Deportivo Comandante Luis Jorge Fontana debido a que al inicio estos dos clubes eran parte de uno mismo llamado La Unión (1910); al haber diferencias entre los dirigentes paraguayos y argentinos de la institución se separaron creándose así el club Sportivo Patria por parte de los paraguayos (debido a eso el color de su camiseta) y el club Fontana por los argentinos (la camiseta corresponde a la selección argentina). En los últimos tiempos se le llamó clásicos a los partidos jugados contra el club Sol de América o el club San Martín pero son solo por estar participando del mismo torneo federal.

Paso por Primera División
Patria clasificó al Torneo Nacional de 1976 de Primera División de Argentina mediante el Torneo Regional 1976.

Participó del grupo C, en donde enfrentó a Huracán, Unión (SF), Rosario Central, Vélez Sarsfield, entre otros. Ganó cuatro partidos (incluido un triunfo 5-0 a Platense), empató otros cuatro y sumó diez derrotas, anotó 24 goles y le convirtieron 37. Conquistó 12 unidades (en esa época se asignaban dos puntos por victoria) y el máximo goleador en dicho certamen fue Gilberto Villasanti con 4 tantos.

Ascenso al Torneo Argentino A 2005/06

Después de 1976, Patria no había vuelto a tener otra alegría hasta la Temporada 2004/05 del Torneo Argentino B donde consigue el tan ansiado ascenso ganándole la liguilla complementaria a Real Arroyo Seco con un global de 5-4, empatando 4 a 4 en Santa Fe con 3 goles del gran Aldo Visconti y uno de Hugo Jazmin y en la vuelta ganando en Formosa 1 a 0 con gol de David Gómez.

En el Apertura 2004 Patria quedó fuera de la zona de clasificación terminando 4° de 6 equipos con 14 puntos debido a 4 victorias, 2 empates y 4 derrotas, compartiendo la zona H con los equipos de Chaco For Ever, Club Atlético 9 de Julio (Rafaela), Patronato, Sarmiento de Resistencia y el Libertad de Sunchales. Pero en el Clausura 2005, el equipo formoseño logró clasificar a la segunda fase del torneo consiguiendo 19 puntos en 10 partidos, de los cuales ganó 6, empató 1 y perdió 3, con Visconti marcando 15 goles en 24 partidos jugados.

En la Segunda Fase se enfrentó contra Textil Mandiyú en partido de ida y vuelta a eliminación directa. Patria ganó 2 a 1 la serie (1 a 0 en Formosa y 1 a 1 en Corrientes), clasificando a la Tercera Fase donde lo esperaba el equipo de Chaco For Ever. La serie terminó con victorias 1 a 0 de ambos equipos en los partidos de ida y vuelta respectivamente, y tuvo que ser definida desde el punto del penal, donde ganó Patria 4 a 3, clasificando a semifinales. Allí se enfrentó al Club Atlético 9 de Julio (Rafaela). En el partido de ida jugado en Rafaela, el equipo de 9 de Julio le ganó 3 a 0 a Patria, por lo que parecía que la serie se había definido. Sin embargo, en el partido de vuelta jugado en Formosa, Patria pudo dar vuelta el resultado ganando por 4 a 0 y pasando a la gran final para enfrentar al Club Atlético San Martín (Tucumán), en un resultado que fue considerado histórico.

Patria perdió los dos partidos jugados contra el equipo tucumano sin siquiera marcar un gol, empatando 0 a 0 en Formosa y perdiendo 2 a 0 en Tucumán, con lo que el equipo de San Martín lograba el ascenso al Torneo Argentino A y relegaba a Patria a jugar la liguilla complementaria para poder lograr el ascenso.

En la liguilla le tocó jugar contra un equipo perteneciente al Torneo Argentino C, el Real Arroyo Seco. En el partido de ida empataron 4 a 4 en un partido donde la figura fue Aldo Visconti, marcando 3 goles, y en el partido de vuelta jugado en Formosa, Patria ganó el partido 1 a 0 con gol del paraguayo Davíd Gómez y logrando el ascenso al Torneo Argentino A, donde se mantendría jugando por 3 temporadas consecutivas hasta descender en la temporada 2007/08.

Invitación, descenso y actualidad

En 2014 fue invitado al Torneo Federal A junto a Sol de América, con motivo de la reestructuración de la AFA de invitar a clubes de cada provincia con el objeto de que cada una tenga al menos 2 representantes.
En la edición de transición, participó de la Zona 4 donde llegó a la penúltima fecha con 17 puntos, 4 por debajo de Juventud Unida de Gualeguaychú a quien enfrentaba y vencería en la última fecha. Sin embargo, a pesar de vencer 5 a 3 a Sarmiento de Resistencia, Juventud venció a Gimnasia y Tiro, manteniendo la diferencia de puntos y obteniendo el ascenso. A pesar de ello, el conjunto formoseños clasificó para pelear por los 2 ascensos restantes.

En los octavos de final logró vencer a Juventud Antoniana tras igualar en Salta y vencer en Formosa. En los cuartos de final, enfrentó a San Lorenzo de Alem a quien venció de local por 2 a 0, resultado que sería vital para vencer en el global tras la caída por la mínima en Catamarca. En la semifinales se definían los ascensos y se enfrentó a Paraná donde cayó por 2 a 0 en Paraná y, en Formosa, terminó de quedarse sin el ascenso tras ir cayendo por 3 a 1 y suspenderse el encuentro por incidentes.

Luego de 2 temporadas flojas; en la temporada 2016/17, luego de superar la primera fase con lo Justo, volvería a realizar una buena campaña al terminar tercero en la zona 1 de la segunda fase, por debajo de Gimnasia y Tiro y Mitre de Santiago del Estero, que clasificaron a la Tercera fase por el primer ascenso, donde no pudo acceder al quedar Agropecuario Argentino como mejor tercero. Luego quedaría rápidamente eliminado por Gutierrez en la tercera etapa de la revalida por el segundo ascenso.

En la temporada 2017/18, quedó relegado a la revalida donde, a pesar de haber quedado segundo en la primera etapa, no pudo mantener la categoría al quedar antepenúltimo en la tabla general de descensos.

Debido a la eliminación del Federal B, el equipo descendió al nuevo Torneo Regional Federal Amateur que se iba a disputar en 2019, pero decidió renunciar a su plaza volviendo a la Liga Formoseña.

Le vieux pont de Gien ou pont Anne-de-Beaujeu est un pont en maçonnerie franchissant la Loire à Gien dans le département du Loiret et la région Centre-Val de Loire.

Géographie
Le pont supporte la route départementale D 941 qui relie la commune de Gien sur la rive droite de la Loire, à la commune de Poilly-lez-Gien sur la rive gauche, en amont du viaduc de Gien et en aval du nouveau pont de Gien.

Description technique de l'ouvrage
Le Pont de Gien se compose de 12 arches d'inégales grandeurs s'appuyant sur 11 piles très fortes et deux culées d'extrémité. D'un aspect monumental, il est construit en pierres de taille et moellons piqués quoique plusieurs voûtes et tympans soient composées de matériaux de petites dimensions.

Ce pont a une longueur totale de  entre culées.

L'ouverture des arches est de l'arche 1 en rive gauche à l'arche 12 en rive droite de : , ,  , , , , , , , , , .

Les voûtes sont en anse de panier et en plein cintre.

Il supporte une chaussée de deux voies de circulation d'une largeur totale de  et de deux trottoirs de  de large renfermant plusieurs réseaux : eau, électricité, télécommunication, gaz.

Les parapets de  de large et  de haut sont en pierre de taille.

La déclivité du profil en long, sensiblement constante, est de 1,95 % côté rive gauche et de 5,31 % côté rive droite, formant ainsi un dos d'âne fortement prononcé et dissymétrique.

Voûtes

Une partie des pierres constituant l'ouvrage proviennent de carrières de Briare et on a constaté que dans les anciennes maçonneries, les pierres reconnues comme provenant de Briare sont très gélives. C'est pourquoi en 1871 lors de la reconstruction des arches 6 et 7, il a été préféré les pierres de Souppes-sur-Loing (Seine-et-Marne). En 1941 et 1945 pour la réparation des arches 1, 2, 7, 8 et 9, les pierres proviennent de Cargoloin (Yonne), Carrière Barberey Fleury.

L'arche 7 a été reconstruite en 1941 en béton armé. Elle est constituée d'une voûte de  de large et d'épaisseur  aux naissances et  à la clef en béton à  de ciment. Un faux tympan en béton armé avec contreforts reprend les efforts du remblai. Les murs de tête en maçonnerie de  de large sont indépendants de la voûte en béton armée et séparés par un vide de . Les voussoirs ont une épaisseur alternativement de  et . Les moellons des parements ont les dimensions suivantes : 0,14 x 0,30 x .

L'arche 8, reconstruite en 1945, a été réalisée suivant le même principe.

La demi-voûte aval de l'arche 9 réparée en 1944 a également été faite en béton. Le tympan amont de l'arche 9 est réalisé en moellons équarris et pierres taillées de petites dimensions, liaisonnés par un mortier de chaux. Il a été recouvert d'un enduit en mortier de ciment. L'enduit est instable sur 50 % de sa surface et les joints en mortier de chaux sont humides et friables avec une très faible résistance.

Une auscultation des superstructures en juillet 1983 a permis de connaître la constitution des clefs de voûte des arches 2 et 10.
clef de voûte de l'arche 2 : à  du parapet amont,  d'enrobé,  de calcaire,  de  maçonnerie récente,  de maçonnerie de pierre calcaire avec mortier de chaux de bonne qualité (résistance 170 bars).
clef de voûte de l'arche 10 : à  du parapet amont,  d'enrobé,  de calcaire,  de remblais graveleux,  de maçonnerie de pierre calcaire avec mortier de chaux de bonne qualité.

Les piles
Un carottage réalisé en 1983 a permis de connaître les caractéristiques des piles. La chaussée et le remblai représentent une hauteur de . Le remplissage du centre de la pile est fait à l'aide d'une maçonnerie grossière de petits blocs de pierre calcaire et parfois de silex, sur une épaisseur de . La base de la pile est constituée d'une maçonnerie de pierres calcaires en général plus grosses avec un mortier de chaux de bonne qualité.

La croix de Saint Nicolas
Au sommet du dos d'âne est implantée une croix dédiée à Saint Nicolas, patron des mariniers.

Histoire

1246 : premier pont
Le passage à gué permettant le franchissement de la Loire est remplacé par un pont en pierres sous le règne de Saint Louis, comte de Gien, en 1246. En 1458, il est emporté par la débâcle de la Loire.

1484 : deuxième pont
D'après la tradition locale, le pont de pierre aurait été reconstruit par Anne de Beaujeu en 1484.

Pendant les guerres de religion, en septembre 1560, les protestants, maîtres de la place firent sauter une arche du pont pour empêcher le « camp du roi » de traverser la Loire.

Le , à la suite d'un débordement de la Loire, une arche est emportée par la violence des glaces.

Le , une crue de la Loire emporte les trois arches les plus proches de la ville, l'arche centrale et plusieurs maisons construites sur le pont.

1734 : le pont actuel

Le pont actuel avec sa forme caractéristique en dos d'âne date sans doute de cette époque. Il a été reconstruit en 1734, vraisemblablement sur les bases des piles anciennes à l'exception des deux arches rive droite remplaçant trois arches primitives. La technique de construction est semblable à celle du pont Gabriel à Blois qui date du .

En , Jean-Baptiste de La Rue fait une présentation à l'Académie royale d'architecture des cintres qu'il a fait bâtir pour la construction du pont. En 1742, il a donné le modèle d'une machine pour battre les pilots.

Un plan du 10 Messidor an 11 (1803) fait penser que la  RG a été détériorée à cette époque.

Le  après la retraite du général Charles Denis Bourbaki, les arches 6 et 7 sont coupées par le génie face à l'armée allemande.

De 1912 à 1915 eurent lieu des travaux de restauration des fondations notamment rejointoiement et enrochements des piles 7 à 11.

Le , le génie français fait sauter la  pour retarder la marche de l'armée allemande.

En 1941, la  bombardée a dû être reconstruite et la première arche réparée.

Le , un bombardement détruit la demi voûte ouest de la , elle est réparée en .

Le , les Allemands détruisent la .

Le pont de Gien supporte la route de Figeac à Montargis, classée route nationale 140, puis en 1973 chemin départemental 940, aujourd'hui route départementale 941.

Évènements récents
Des travaux de mise en lumière du pont de Gien ont été réalisés entre septembre et décembre 2007. Les luminaires sont intégrés dans le parapet et projettent une lumière rasante sur la chaussée. Le coût de ces travaux s'est élevé à  € TTC.

Une demande de classement aux monuments historiques a été introduite en 2012 par la mairie de Gien. Cette demande est instruite par le Comité scientifique de la Conservation régionale des monuments historiques, à Orléans.

Building African urban sustainability
ICLEI Africa's journey: Working in Africa for over two decades to create a shared and sustainable urban future
by John Yeld, August 2017
Africa is a truly diverse and multicultural continent, where historically as many as 2,100 different languages may have been spoken by its multiplicity of people.
Because of their home's vast size, Africans face an equally diverse number of challenges, some of a global nature – such as finding appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures to counter human-induced climate change – and others specific to regions or smaller entities like cities, towns and villages, where local biodiversity loss, pollution, infrastructure deficiencies and similar problems may negatively impact the inhabitants' well-being.
Such challenges are being tackled head-on through a rapidly growing network whose like-minded members speak a single common 'language' of sustainability and urban development as they seek to improve the quality of life for all Africans. This is ICLEI Africa, one of the regional offices of the international network ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability whose members are committed to building a sustainable future for people living in urban communities across the globe.
ICLEI's clear focus on urban areas is not arbitrary: Earth is rapidly transforming into an "urban planet", with estimates suggesting that some two-thirds of all humanity will be living in towns and cities by the middle of this century. The organisation's vision is that of sustainable cities confronting the realities of urbanisation, adapting to economic and demographic trends, and preparing for the impacts of climate change and other urban challenges.
To achieve this, it works at uniting local and subnational governments within an effective and inclusive network, where its members can create positive change through collective learning, exchange and capacity building.
Established in 1990, ICLEI is today a vibrant organisation whose 1 000-plus members have indeed built an international network of cities and local governments, spread over 86 countries and collectively involving more than a quarter of the world's population. All are committed to building a sustainable urban future and becoming sustainable, low-carbon, resilient, eco-mobile, biodiverse, resource efficient and productive, healthy and happy, with a green economy and smart infrastructure.
One of this global network's nine regional secretariats is ICLEI-Africa that exercises its responsibility for managing ICLEI's presence in sub-Saharan Africa from its Cape Town-based offices.
African cities have a long association with the organisation, says ICLEI Africa regional director Kobie Brand. "The earliest members from our region include ICLEI founding members Dakar and Kampala, who were at our founding congress in New York City in September 1990. And our membership has been growing ever since with members like the City of Cape Town signing up in 1994, followed soon thereafter by Johannesburg and many others."
ICLEI Africa is governed by a regional executive committee consisting of five mayors of member cities – currently Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Bulawayo (Zimbabwe), Bafut (Cameroon), Vacoas-Phoenix (Mauritius) and Monrovia (Liberia) – one of whom is selected to also represent Africa on the ICLEI council. Currently that global representative is the Mayor of Bafut, a small town of only about 80,000 inhabitants but highly symbolic because of its commitment to traditional culture, sustainability and biodiversity. It gained global prominence after featuring in naturalist Gerald Durrell's popular 1954 book The Bafut Beagles.
ICLEI Africa's Secretariat both contributes to, and taps into, the organisation's international network of local government leaders and professional staff who share tools, strategies and good practices for promoting the overall goal of sustainable development through the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
However, the Secretariat also lays emphasis on a few key work streams that have particular relevance to Africa and that resonate with the continent's needs of promoting job creation and empowering women within a pro-poor socio-economic framework. These work streams are energy, climate change and resilience; water and sanitation; nature-based solutions and food security; sustainable infrastructure and integrated urban planning.
"The great thing about ICLEI is that it's an international organisation, but the work that each regional office does is contextualised locally to meet the needs of its members," says Michelle Preen, ICLEI Africa senior manager for communications, membership and knowledge management.
The first ICLEI Africa Secretariat was established in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1995, before moving to Joburg in 2001 and then to its current home in Cape Town in 2008. Although ICLEI Africa has had independent and self-funded offices since 2013, Brand pays tribute to their previous host cities, Johannesburg (2001-2006) and Cape Town (2008-2012), who generously hosted the offices in these earlier years.
Brand concedes that the first few weeks at her new job, which she took up in 2008 when the City of Cape Town hosted the office, were intimidating.
"It was an interesting time," she says diplomatically. "We started as a very small team." Being able to balance the needs of diverse members like cities such as Cape Town and Durban – big, modern, forward-thinking metropolitan cities – and the majority of other members who were smaller towns or cities like Fongo-Tongo in Cameroon or Chinhoyi in Zimbabwe with their very different needs and goals, was challenging. "But it was also very enriching, being right at the cutting-edge. Working at the local level with such a diverse group of inspiring city leaders and officials who are tackling some of the hardest issues facing our planet today, demands high levels of innovation and energy, but it's extremely rewarding," Brand adds.
Fast-forward a decade and that early iteration of the regional branch of the organisation is unrecognisable. ICLEI Africa is now active in projects in 126 cities and has a growing membership base of more than 100 cities from 22 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This nicely round number is thanks to the 100th member which ICLEI Africa were proud to welcome into their network in July 2017 – the east African metropolis of Nairobi, capital city of Kenya. And through partnerships with seven local government associations on the Continent, ICLEI Africa's reach is effectively widened to thousands of additional local governments.
Currently, all the African Secretariat's work is managed from its Cape Town offices where Brand heads a staff of 24. Nominally based here, on any particular day many of these staff will probably be found all over sub-Saharan Africa, working at any one of the diverse project locations, says Brand.
"Today one of our teams may be in Accra, tomorrow another in Harare, next week in Dar-es-Salaam or somewhere in Rwanda, wherever we're able to make a difference through the projects we deliver in these cities. And I think that's what we appreciate most about our jobs – we're working to make a tangible difference on the ground."
Given the demands of an organisation operating on a continent with huge social diversity, it's perhaps not surprising to learn that staff at the Africa Secretariat speak 10 languages between them. One polyglot is Steven Molteno, who arrived as an intern in 2010 and whose subsequent promotion as a fully-fledged member of the dynamic and passionate team was partly earned through his ability to speak English, French, German, Spanish and some Arabic. "And I can understand a tiny bit and speak the basics of Swahili," he adds modestly.
Expansion of the Secretariat is imminent as ICLEI's African footprint grows. "At the moment we're in discussions with Dar-es-Salaam to see if we can perhaps open a sub-Saharan African regional hub office there, and then we're looking at other hubs, certainly one in West Africa," says Brand.
"All of ICLEI Africa's projects are needs driven within urban spaces," explains Dr. Meggan Spires, who as one of three senior managers assisting Brand is responsible for teams working primarily on the organisation's Resilient City and Low Carbon (energy) agendas. "Our work always begins with working closely with city stakeholders so that any project we embark on serves their needs, builds relationships and capacity, and moves our cities further on the sustainability journey," Spires says.
Stressing that ICLEI was founded by cities for cities, Molteno describes how ICLEI assists and promotes members through its triple role:
•	connecting political leaders with technical leaders and sustainability experts in effective partnerships;
•	advocacy of sustainability and local solutions; and
•	being a resource centre or solution gateway for knowledge management and easily accessible information.
The projects ICLEI designs and implements are either developed locally with cities or form part of wider, trans-regional or global ICLEI initiatives. Spires says that, for her, ICLEI Africa's biggest success is the long-term relationships that its staff develop during projects. "We build 'champions' in the municipalities who, after a specific project comes to an end, can continue driving the sustainability agendas there. In fact we don't ever leave our cities, and that's the big advantage that ICLEI has as a city network. Because if project cities and towns are our members, we will stick with them for the long haul, and even if they're not, they're still within our network and we care about them."
She also points out that, as well as working with city and municipal officials, ICLEI Africa works with informal communities to facilitate their more effective interaction with local authorities or subnational governments. "We act as a broker between these sometimes divergent groups, and I think that's another of ICLEI's strengths. That's important, because we're not going to solve Africa's challenges just by governments working alone."
Africa's cities of tomorrow will look very different from today. For one, they will be, in most instances, far bigger and busier places, accommodating far larger urban communities than today. And ICLEI Africa is in a unique and privileged position to play a significant role in this changing context, Brand says.
"We're able to contribute directly to a new urban trajectory that will provide these communities with thriving cities that are on a clear and collective journey towards sustainability – cities that connect people and nature, providing safe, inclusive and resilient havens for the majority of Africans."
Gino van Begin, Secretary General of ICLEI, says the organisation's African Secretariat is responsible for serving its members across sub-Saharan Africa, a region with exceptionally high urbanisation rates.
"So it's reassuring that our committed team in Africa is well geared to serve our members in meeting this challenge and moving towards a shared and sustainable urban future."
ICLEI Africa Chair, Mayor Abel Langsi Ngwasoh of the Bafut Council, emphasises the organisation's cooperative structure: "Our network of subnational and local governments is an inclusive association – from provinces and large mega-cities, to small towns and districts – and as we continue to grow, we aim to make a significant impact in Africa, contributing to sustainability and building resilience."

Single-use ID pads will allow you to feel secure and confident when carrying out your daily activities. Nowadays there are several models to suit all body shapes and all kinds of urinary incontinence.
A non-woven topsheet: soft and dermatologically tested, for maximum comfort, as it is in direct contact with the skin.
An acquisition layer: to help the urine pass quickly into the absorbent core pad, and maintain dryness during wear.
An absorbent core pad: cellulose fibers are mixed together with super-absorbent particles which retain the liquid and convert it to a "gel" for a dry and secure fit. It also helps prevent unpleasant odours.
A Backsheet: in soft cotton feel material, which is waterproof and therefore holds the absorbed liquid in and avoids leakages. The white ID backsheet is a guarantee of maximum discretion.
On the higher absorbant products of the range, and/or for faecal incontinence, elastified leg cuffs secure the product, preventing leakage and giving maximum comfort.
The number of pieces in a pack is mentioned on the bottom right hand side, at the front of each pack.
The full range is dermatologically tested to minimise skin irritations for the user.
Designed by Experts, ID products allow you to confidently lead a normal life.
What is the right pad for me?
There is a wide range of products, designed for each situation.
Pants suitable for active people: flexible and anatomically shaped for greatest comfort.
These products are best suited to people with limited mobility, or invalids.
All products are available in different absorbencies.
You don't need to choose the highest absorbency, just the one that's best for you: a thicker pad isn't necessarily more effective.
It's essential to choose the right size, to make sure that it fits the body's curves perfectly and gives maximum protection.
Look at the table below to find your size.
Thanks to ID incontinence products, you can be totally confident and happy about leading a normal social life.
Retraining by changing how often you urinate will help you get back your natural urination reflexes.
Pelvic floor training helps you to strengthen and control your pelvic floor muscles.
Retraining with intermittent catheterisation, to "decompress" the bladder if you suffer from urinary retention, or with regular catheterisation if you have a "lazy" bladder or a neurological disorder.
There are some drugs that will help reduce bladder contractions.
Hormone treatment may help to reduce urinary problems linked with menopause.
Finally, if you have a urinary tract infection with urinary incontinence, antibiotic treatment can help with this.
In some cases, surgery may be necessary. This usually consists of raising or supporting the bladder.
Urethral sling procedure: a sling is created using synthetic material or tissue from your own body, to support the neck of the bladder.
Urethral tape procedure: a less invasive and increasingly successful version of the previous one.
Laparoscopic colposuspension,to reposition the bladder neck within the abdomen.
Nerve stimulation, stimulation and fitting a pacemaker for the sacral nerve (which has a key role in controlling the bladder and intestines). This treatment is for urge incontinence.
Injecting bulking agents such as collagen into the bladder muscles or urethra, to make them more elastic. The operation needs to be repeated regularly since the substances injected are absorbed into the body.
Bladder wall injections:this consists of injecting botulinum toxin or similar into the muscles of the bladder wall, to reduce contractions.

Katana Closes $35M Series B to Scale an Industry-Leading Manufacturing Ecosystem for SMBs
● Katana closes $35M Series B round led by VC firm Northzone, with the participation of Lightrock and existing investors Atomico and 42CAP.
● Already an industry-leading manufacturing ERP, Katana will continue to move upmarket and expand its feature range to support the more complex needs of SMB manufacturers with omnichannel sales strategies.
● Funds will drive extensive product development plans for Katana's platform approach to building an end-to-end manufacturing ecosystem.

October 12, 2022 08:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time
TALLINN, Estonia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Katana, an industry-leading manufacturing ERP software has closed a $35 million Series B round, bringing the total funding to date to $51 million. Funds will be used to scale up Katana's features for small to medium-sized manufacturers, allowing them to manage D2C and B2B sales in an intuitive, industry-leading software solution.
The investment round is led by global VC firm Northzone, an early investor in Spotify, Personio, and Trustpilot, with the participation of impact-focused growth investor Lightrock, alongside previous investors Atomico and 42CAP. Katana continues to be supported by their angel investors, including Sergei Anikin (former CTO at Pipedrive, also serving as Katana's Chairman of the Supervisory Board), Sten Tamkivi (Co-founder of NFTPort and former Skype executive), and Ott Kaukver (CTO of Checkout and former CTO of Twilio).
"I am thrilled to welcome investors to our board who share our team's vision. We're equally grateful for the continued support of our previous investors and angel investors. From offering software to single-person workshops to bigger and bigger manufacturers over time, Katana now serves over 1300 companies across 80 countries. This investment helps us continue to develop a manufacturing ERP platform customers love, as well as offer support to an under-served market which is having its own incredible renaissance.", says Kristjan Vilosius, Katana's Founder and CEO.
"We've been deeply impressed with Kristjan and the team, who combine strong product skills, essential to building something as complicated and powerful as a basic ERP system, with commercial savviness and drive. We believe this unlocks the next category in modern-day, modular, user-friendly software, and has the potential to be a defining business in that category" adds Michiel Kotting, a partner at Northzone, also joining Katana's board.
The end of the 'Made in China' era
As the 'Made in China' era of manufacturing ends, manufacturers are moving closer to consumers, selling directly via their own websites or online marketplaces — often in tandem with a B2B strategy. Consumers are offered a wealth of choice and opt for brands that align more closely with their personal values, with a trend in choosing sustainable, ethically made, or organic products over mass-produced options. There is a rise in D2C manufacturing, resulting in a wave of new-generation manufacturers looking for software that helps them manage their business holistically, connecting all the facets of their business beyond inventory management.
Most traditional business suites for manufacturing are yet to catch up with today's usability standards, proving a barrier as they lack modern API functionality and generally do not integrate well with business essentials like e-commerce stores, accounting platforms, and shipping operators. As a result, the ERP space is known for poor UX/UI and low customer satisfaction. Katana's integration-led approach gives manufacturers an ecosystem of tools and features as opposed to the traditionally siloed, monolithic enterprise solution. By bringing manufacturing software into the digital era and matching the standards of consumer technology and other SaaS verticals, Katana is already named an industry leader in the manufacturing software space by Gartner and is consistently top-ranked in support and ease of use by customers.
Since closing Series A in 2021, Katana launched an open API, app marketplace, and over 60 integrations and feature releases, laying the foundation for the next stage of Katana's evolution. With Series B funding secured, Katana will continue to develop its plug-and-play platform approach by introducing more advanced accounting integrations and more world-class software services to an increasingly extensive app marketplace.
To support these plans, Katana continues to expand its international team, which increased from 30 to over 140 since the close of Series A. Introducing new product development teams will amp up feature releases while expanding customer support teams globally will ensure that stellar customer satisfaction continues to be a key differentiator as Katana serves new markets and larger customers.
About Katana
Founded in 2017, Katana offers everything companies need to keep manufacturing, uniting all the processes, tools, and software manufacturers require with an intuitive and easy-to-use ERP. Global from day one, Katana's portfolio of over 1300 companies ranges from hobby makers to multi-million dollar manufacturing businesses. To date, Katana's founding team has raised over $51 million in funding from VC firms and angel investors and scaled its team of six to 140 employees across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Anigouran or Aligouran, or Arigullan, is a character in the mythology of the Tuaregs. It appears in many stories transmitted by their oral tradition. Anigouran is characterized by his exceptional intelligence and his taste for riddles. He is credited with the invention of Tifinagh "the Tuareg alphabet", and entries using this alphabet engraved on the rocks of the Aïr Mountains; it also made him the mythical inventor of several games.

In the Tuareg mythology
The stories devoted to Anigouran depict adventures in which his intelligence and cunning allow him to get out of difficult situations. They also portray his rivalry with his Adelasegh nephew, whose great intelligence causes jealousy of Anigouran, who tries to kill him several times, but eventually reconciled with him. At a time when Adelasegh and his sister were captured by bandits and where Anigouran finally decided to reconcile with his nephew, Anigouran can not trace them, So he engraved on the desert rocks a coded tifinagh messages that only Adelasegh and his sister can decode, to show them the way back to his camp. This story thus provides a mythological explanation of the current presence of Tifinagh inscriptions in the desert.

Self-Help>Gender Change>How to Change a Child's Gender or Name and Gender if You Are the Guardian or Dependency Attorney for the Child
How to Change a Child's Gender or Name and Gender if You Are the Guardian or Dependency Attorney for the Child
Gender Change Forms
Print Español
How-to Guide for Guardians and Dependency Attorneys
As of January 1, 2019, a guardian or dependency attorney appointed as a guardian ad litem for the child may petition the court for a minor's name change and to recognize a minor's change of gender to female, male, or nonbinary.
For any petition brought by a guardian or dependency attorney involving the recognition of a gender change for a minor, whether or not there is also a request for a name change, guardians and dependency attorneys must follow these steps:
Fill out your court forms
If all living parents sign the Petition: Gender Change Only
Petition for Recognition of Minor's Change of Gender and Issuance of New Birth Certificate and Change of Name (Form NC-500) (detailed instructions for filling out this form available here),
Declaration of Guardian or Dependency Attorney (Form NC-510G),
Order Recognizing Minor's Change of Gender and for Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-530G / (complete boxes at top and item 1), and
Civil Case Cover Sheet (Form CM-010).
If all living parents sign the Petition: Gender and Name Change
Petition for Recognition of Minor's Change of Gender and Issuance of New Birth Certificate and Change of Name (Form NC-500), (detailed instructions for filling out this form available here).
Name and Information About the Person Whose Name Is to Be Changed (Attachment to Petition for Change of Name) (Form NC-110G),
Order Recognizing Minor's Change of Gender and for Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-530G) (complete boxes at top and item 1)
Order to Show Cause for Change of Name to Conform to Gender Identity (Form NC-125/ Form NC-225), and
Civil Case Cover Sheet (Form CM-010)
If one or more parents did not sign, is deceased, or cannot be located: Gender Change Only
Order to Show Cause for Recognition of Minor's Change of Gender and Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-520) (the court clerk will add the hearing date and time when you file it),
If one or more parents did not sign, is deceased, or cannot be located Gender and Name Change
Order to Show Cause for Change of Name to Conform to Gender Identity (Form NC-125 / Form NC-225),
Order Recognizing Minor's Change of Gender and for Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-530G) (complete boxes at top and item 1), and
Have the forms reviewed
If your court's family law facilitator or self-help center helps people with name and gender change recognition cases, ask them to review your paperwork. They can make sure you filled it out properly before you move ahead with your case.
Make 1 copy of all your forms (plus one for each person who must be served notice)
File your forms with the court clerk
As a general rule, file all the forms and copies in the court that appointed you as a guardian or a dependency court guardian ad litem. The clerk will stamp the forms "Filed," keep the original, and return the copies to you. If Form NC-520 is required, the clerk will add a court date. You will have to pay a filing fee. Find out how much the filing fee is for a first petition (sometimes called a "first appearance" or "first papers"). If you cannot afford the fee, you can ask for a fee waiver.
Serve notice on parents or grandparents, if necessary
If there are living parents who did not sign the petition, the petition and the Order to Show Cause for Recognition of Minor's Change of Gender and Issuance of New Birth Certificate and Change of Name (Form NC-520) must be served on that parent. If either or both parents are deceased or cannot be located, the petition and order to show cause must be served on the child's grandparents, if living and known to the guardian or dependency attorney. The order to show cause will direct the parent or grandparent to file any objections to the petition for recognition of gender change at least two days before the date of the court hearing, and to file any objections to the petition for name change within 6 weeks of the date of the order to show cause.
Gender Change Only: The documents must be served at least 30 days before the hearing date. The service of the documents must be by personal service if the parent or grandparent lives in California or, if the parent or grandparent lives out of state, it may be by certified mail. You must have the person who did the service (it cannot be you) complete a proof of service form (you may use Form POS-020 for proof of personal service) and you must file the proof of service with the court to show that it was done. Learn more about service here.
Gender and Name Change: The documents must be served by the earlier of one of two dates: either at least 30 days before the hearing date, or 30 days from the date on which the order to show cause was issued by the court. The service of the documents must be by personal service if the parent or grandparent lives in California or, if the parent or grandparent lives out of state, it may be by certified mail. You must have the person who did the service (it cannot be you) complete a proof of service form (you may use Form NC-121 for proof of personal service) and you must file the proof of service with the court to show that it was done. Learn more about service here.
Go to the court hearing, if necessary
If no objection is filed within the time periods in the order to show cause, the court shall grant the petition without a hearing. Check with the court the day before the hearing date to see if the hearing will be held.
If an objection is timely filed and a hearing was set in the Order to Show Cause, go to court on the hearing date. If an objection is timely filed and no hearing was previously set, the court will set a hearing date and send you a notice of that date. Take the Decree Changing Name and Order Recognizing Change of Gender and for Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-530G) for the judge to sign.
Get your Decree Changing Name and Recognizing Change of Gender from the court
If the court grants the recognition of a change of gender, the judge will sign the Decree Changing Name and Order Recognizing Change of Gender and for Issuance of New Birth Certificate (Form NC-530G). Once the order is signed, request a certified copy from the court clerk. The minor will need a certified copy to change their name and gender on their legal documents.
