29 April 2017 – 09:23 The central purpose of this date is to remember the importance of other animal species with whom we share the planet.
Every year on the 29th of April is celebrated in Argentina, the "Day of the Animal". However, few people know why this day is chosen to celebrate it.
The Day the Animal began to be celebrated, at least in our country, in 1908 . At that time, by the inspiration of Clemente Onelli, director of the Zoological Garden, and doctor Ignacio Lucas Albarracín, President of the humane Society.
In every home in which they live, become a member of the family. Their presence, their occurrences, change the mood, enhance the day-to-day. In Argentina, each 29 April marks the Day of the Animal in homage to the death -in 1926 – the doctor Ignacio Lucas Albarracín.
Dr. Albarracin was a tireless fighter for the rights of the animal. As president of the humane Society was in charge to propose and promote the National Law of Animal Protection. A pioneering project in the country that sought to prevent both the abuse as hunting.

A Day in the Life of A Lynx Angel
Illegal Advertising called our attention to the latest installment in the ongoing Fallen Angels storyline from Lynx/Axe. If you recall, earlier this year angels began to fall from the sky and sought appropriate mates for themselves. Of course, they were drawn the the men who slathered themselves with Lynx and Axe products.
That introduction was followed by the story of one of the most curvaceous angels of them all; Kelly Brooke who was apparently left behind when all the rest of the angels fell from the sky and found their match. Poor Brooke, stuck in the heavens and writhing in a state of perpetual, hyper sexualized ecstasy and pent up desire, just had to find her match so she could finally fulfill her wanton way. Thankfully she finds her man.
Now that all the angels have seemingly fallen, we are now given a glimpse into their life on earth. And it's awkward. Very, very awkward. But, this being Lynx/Axe, it's quite sexy as well. We witness one angel's trials and tribulations as she goes through her day with her man. But all ends well enough and it's hinted more angels are yet to fall.
Kendall Jenner Models For Australian Swimwear Brand White Sands
Fifteen year old Kendall Jenner, half sister to the Kardashians, is appearing in a new campaign for Australian swimwear brand White Sands. In the campaign, Jenner will appear wearing a low cut, cleavage-baring one piece and a floral bikini. It's all to promote the brand's Spring/Summer collection.
If you're into 15 year olds, there's much more of Kendall to see here. Is 15 too young to parade around scantily-clothed for an ad campaign? Should girls be required to wear burlap sacks until the age of 18?

Katy Perry Does Snow White For fashion Label ghd
Hmm. We are told the new face of fashion brand ghd Katy Perry is supposed to be some sort of 1920's flapper version of Snow White. We don't see it. All we see is Perry all dolled up...like a 1920's flapper who looks like...a 1920's flapper. Are we missing something? Is there a dwarf somewhere in the ad we can't see?
Oh wait. We get it. We see the birds and the apple. Oh and the looking glass. Oh well. It's still a bit of a stretch for us. After all, would Snow White ever be caught dead revealing this much skin? Oh and nice touch highlighting the "Hot" in "Hotel."
Man Objectified As 'Accessory' In Tie Ad
Here's an interesting twist on the whole objectification thing. As we all know, women are continuously objectified as sex objects in advertising and in general culture. hey, old habits die hard but some progress is being made.
While this commercial doesn't exactly fall into the Verizon Dumb Dad category, it does unabashedly position men as playthings, accessories if you will, for women. All to sell a tie to a man. Or, well, a woman buying a tie for a man...or, well, her plaything.
Brilliant, actually.
And honestly, does any man really care that he's being objectified as long as he's got a hot woman by his side?

I've noted in the past that my parents are getting older and have experienced some health problems. Unfortunately, this has resulted in them having to move out of their house (my childhood home) and into assisted living.
And guess what? Insurance companies don't like empty houses. Sure, we've kept the utilities on, we have a lawn service maintaining the yard, we've notified trusted neighbors (as well as the local police), and we check in on it from time to time. But that doesn't make them more comfortable.
Vacant (or unoccupied) houses are at increased risk of loss due to leaky pipes, fire, vandalism, squatters, theft of copper pipes, etc. Not surprisingly, insurers are thus reticent to maintain coverage without special arrangements.
This usually involves the addition a vacancy endorsement (or rider) or even a separate policy. In other words, you have to pay more to offset the increased risk. As with all insurance-related topics, the details will vary by insurer and state, so be sure check with your own agent or insurance company.
What follows are some generalities based on our recent experiences.
For starters, you need to define your terms and clarify your insurance company's policies. For example, some insurance companies follow a dictionary definition of "vacant" whereas others look at whether or not it's occupied.
va•cant: having no fixtures, furniture, or inhabitants; empty.
See the difference? A vacant home is an empty home — devoid of both furnishings and residents. An unoccupied home may be furnished and livable, but has nobody living there. Some insurers worry about totally empty houses, while others worry about houses without residents.
In our case, the insurance company is concerned about occupancy (or lack thereof) as opposed to vacancy. In other words, if my parents are not able to "take care and custody" of their home for an extended period (30 days in this case), then their standard homeowners coverage no longer applies.
If their pipes burst or their house burns down, any insurance claim would likely be denied. Not good. So how do we rectify the situation? Here again, the answer likely depends on your insurance company and your state of residence.
In our case, we can pay a one-time fee to add a "vacancy endorsement" — but with a caveat. The endorsement only lasts until the end of the current policy term, at which time we'll need to convert it to a more costly "rental dwelling" policy (which treats it like an unoccupied rental unit) or they'll cancel our coverage.
Fortunately, their have an annual policy and it's due for renewal this month. We'll thus add the endorsement and be good to go for the next year. But if we don't get it cleared out and sold between now and then, we'll have to change the coverage.
Something I hadn't really considered is the coverage of their belongings while they're in assisted living. With the vacancy endorsement in place, their homeowners coverage will remain in full force and the house and its contents will be insured.
But what about the stuff they have with them? As it turns out, as long as their homeowners coverage is in place, their belongings are insured even if they're physically located at the assisted living facility.
But once we sell the house (or convert it to a rental dwelling policy) their homeowners coverage will stop and they'll need a renter's insurance policy to protect their belongings. Makes sense.

In a welcome reversal of a key politics-driven Bush era mandate, the FDA has approved the Plan B morning-after emergency contraception pill for 17-year olds. Previously the reluctance of FDA to approve the product had led a senior official to rightly resign. Not surprisingly, this decision drew wrath from conservative groups who say that the pill would "encourage promiscuity". This statement is rather typical of conservative statements opposing abortion and promotion of contraceptive measures in school, in spite of the fact that abstinence-only programs have been shown to essentially cause no change or even an increase in "promiscuity".
But here's the thing, and it should be clear all along; the FDA should stick to science and nothing else. Just as the conservative FDA officials during the Bush era were utterly out of line opposing Plan B because of political and religious interests, so should liberals also not applaud the FDA decision as a moral value judgement. The business of the FDA is to determine the efficacy and safety of medical products, period. The moment it starts to pontificate on the moral or political value of its decision its immediately sets itself on a slippery slope.
So just like the NAS and the NCSE should stick to demonstrating the evidence for evolution and lack of evidence for ID/creationism and not pass judgement on whether science and religion are compatible, so should the FDA stick to the science behind the approval of medical products. Not making political or religious statements, either conservative or liberal, would be in the safe and best interests of both the FDA and society.
I about hit the floor when I saw the title. It's that second word that really gets me. The FDA does stick to science? Could you give me some data, any data to support that assertion? What is scientific about QSR/GMP... (i.e., If it's not documented, it doesnt' exist. You can keep making a junky product as long as it is consistently junky.) How about their scientific approach to food safety?
I don't disagree with your aim, but you need to realize your statement for the dream that it is.
When I said "does", I only meant it in the current case. Of course the FDA has a rather shoddy record of not sticking to science.
I guess the problem is far more complicated since I imagine the FDA isn't economically independent, whether it gets financed by the government or by private companies there will always be issues compromising its integrity. Nevertheless, I completely agree with you, wavefunction, it should be strictly scientific.

Altitude: 90-900 metres above sea level.
Habitat: It is relatively abundant and grows in open plains and on the lower slopes of low hills under the protection of small scrubs, brushwood and trees in low deciduous forest on granitic rocks, together with Mammillaria marshalliana and Ferocactus townsendianus. The soil is acidic and rich in humus, since the organic rest, the shade and the humidity of the coast, favour this condition. The major threat for Mammillaria phitauiana is cattle ranching, mainly by the trampling that erodes the soil affecting the establishment of new plants.
Description: Mammillaria phitauiana is a small cactus solitary at first, later forming clusters from basal branches.
Stems: Short-cylindric to culumnar, pale-green 25-30 cm high and 4-5 cm in diameter. Without latex.
Tubercles: Quadrangular sub-conical, 7 mm long and 6 mm in diameter, keeled. Axil with some short white wool and silky bristles.
Radial spines: 18-24 (usually 20), yellowish white, bristle-like, radiating, 4-12 mm long, lower one the longest.
Central spines: 4(-6), straight or with one of them hooked, white with brownish tips, to 12 mm long.
Flowers: White, yellowish white or cream with pale pink to brown small midstripes, 20-25 mm long and 15-18 mm in diameter. Often failing to open completely.
Fruits: Club-shaped, red, 15 - 30 mm long, 6 - 10 mm in diameter.
Blooming season: From May to June.
6) León de la Luz, J.L., Hernández, H.M. & Gómez-Hinostrosa, C. 2013. Mammillaria phitauiana. In: IUCN 2013. "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species." Version 2013.2. <www.iucnredlist.org>. Downloaded on 11 January 2014.
Cultivation and Propagation: It is a slow growing species. Water occasionally in winter so the roots do not dry out completely, and water regularly in summer. Some growers suggest to use exclusively rain water. But be careful, as it will rot easily if the substrate is wet and cold. It tends to lose its roots in winter. The root system of this plant is comparatively small, and it is best to grow it in a shallow with good drainage pot using a very porous and slightly acidic compost, with plenty of extra grit. Give an occasional tonic of sequestrated iron. Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer.
Usually it is recommended to overwinter this plant in a bright and warm greenhouse with at least 8-10° C , but it proved to be quite frost resistant (if kept dry it is hardy as low as -5° C) Strong light (but not direct sun) is required for flowering. Some plants will offset readily, and clumps can be produced in a very few years.
Propagation: Direct sow after last frost, cuttings.

I am a PhD in Human Geography student at the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Scott Prudham, and part of the political economy of environment and political ecology 'PE2' research group based in the Department of Geography and Planning and the School of the Environment at UofT. I have been recently collaborating as a board member in the non-profit OPSYS Landscape Infrastructure Lab in a series of publications on landscape urbanism, territory, and colonialism; which included the Canadian EXTRACTION Exhibition at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale. I was a 2017–18 Canada Program Research Fellow at the Harvard Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. I have experience in urban and environmental planning for both the private and public sectors in Chile, having served in Chile's Ministry of Land as Head of the Territorial Studies Department and Coordinator for the creation and reconfiguration of numerous official protected areas, including four National Parks and Reserves.
My research lies at the intersection of clean energy hinterlands, sustainable development policies, and socioenvironmental justice while concerned with how the electromobility transition—marketed as a technological fix in the global move towards decarbonization under climate change—is interacting with the traditional livelihoods of local Atacameño/Lickanantay Indigenous communities in the Atacama Salt Flat, Chile. This work aims to uncover how the electromobility industry, facilitated by the Chilean state and global sustainable development policies, is driving narratives that essentially make invisible the territorial and ecological dispossession of Indigenous communities.

The Puerto Deseado and Colonia Las Heras Railway (native name: "Ferrocarril Puerto Deseado a Colonia Las Heras") was a State-owned railway company that ran between the cities of Puerto Deseado to Colonia Las Heras in Santa Cruz Province. The 283-km broad gauge railway was established with the intention of encouraging settlement in Patagonia, which was sparsely populated at that point. The railway also contributed to the commercialisation of wool in the region.

The railway was considered the southernmost passenger railway in the world, due to other lines of the region focusing on exploitation and transport of natural resources (such as the Comodoro Rivadavia Railway did with petroleum) rather than operating passenger services.

History

Background

The construction of the line was promulgated by Law N° 5559 in 1908, during José Figueroa Alcorta's presidency.

Lines to be built were as follows:

 Puerto San Antonio (Rio Negro) to Nahuel Huapi lake;
 Puerto Deseado to link with line to Nahuel Huapi, with a branch to Comodoro Rivadavia that crossed Colonia Sarmiento. Other branches to Buenos Aires were also included in the project.

The ambitious project planned to build a railway that crossed Patagonia to the northwest, then joining with the San Antonio Oeste-Bariloche line. Nevertheless, the line was not extended. Some versions stated that the railway was not expanded due to British settlers' interests in preserving the Patagonia region only for sheep farming. Other versions stated that livestock company "La Argentina Southern Land Company" refused the construction of a line when they realised the poor quality of the land, which would be used to finance the construction.

Other reasons for the cancellation of the project were the crisis caused by the World War I and some politicians that questioned the National Government's designation of funds for southern enterprises instead of sending them to the Pampa region, as well as the death of Roque Sáenz Peña in 1914.

Development
Construction began in Puerto Deseado in May 1909, with works being led by engineer Juan Briano. At the end of 1911 trains began to run up to Pico Truncado, the first terminus of the line. During its first year of service, the PD&CLHR carried 1,235 people and 1,950 tons of cargo. By 1912 they had increased to 2,370 and 4,208 respectively.

In 1912 the railway reached Las Heras, which would be its definitive terminus. Nevertheless, the National Government decided to reduce the amount of money sent to the line. In spite of the requests by regional neighborhoods demanding a longer railway line, it never happened. Besides, the route chosen for the railway was criticised due to it ran parallel to the sea, adversely competing against the ports of Caleta Olivia, Cabo Blanco and Mazaredo because of the lower costs to transport wool by sea.

One of the last proposals to extend the line came in 1927 when deputy Guillermo Fonrouge suggested to build a branch to connect Holdich station with Las Heras, also joining the Comodoro Rivadavia Railway. Nevertheless, the initiative did not come to fruition. Years later, Holldich became a ghost town. The last attempt to extend the line came with the proposal of building a branch to the oil wells in Cañadón Seco, to connect both railways, Puerto Deseado and Comodoro Rivadavia, although the idea would be never carried out.

Fourteen stations were built along the line, with a distance of  between them. Only a few stations became villages while most of them remained as simple stops along the way. After the nationalisation of the whole Argentine railway network in 1948, the Puerto Deseado Railway became part of State-owned Ferrocarril General Roca.

During the 1940s, freight transport had decreased considerably. The most loaded merchandise were sheep, wool, agricultural products, limestone and lead. Trains also carried zinc, iron and copper that came from Chile by Buenos Aires Lake and then carried in trucks to Las Heras.

In 1949 brand-new railcars were added to the line, what contributed to increase the number of passengers. The State also built houses for employees of the railway. Trains departed from Puerto Deseado three times a week. The railcars had a capacity of 42 passengers.

Decline and closure
During the 1950s trains transported oil for private companies (therefore YPF was not included). During the 1960s both passengers and freight services decreased resoundingly. From 1961-67 trains carried less than 10,000 people and 10 tons, with few exceptions such as 1962-63 (25 tons). In the last years of operation, lead -which was obtained from Lago Carreras in Chile- was the most carried merchandise.

The Argentine Government did not make any investment in the railway, so the rolling stock became obsolete. In the 1970s passenger services were served by two old Drewry railcars at . Freight transport had decreased to one or two services in a month. Finally in 1978, the de facto government led by Jorge Videla closed the Puerto Deseado Railway. The Government alleged economic problems as the main reason for the closure as the deficit was considerably high.

The line was also completely dismantled, with the wagons, workshops and locomotives sold to wrecking yards. Nevertheless, some of them were preserved. Unlike the Comodoro Rivadavia Railway, rail tracks remained intact but they would deteriorate as time passed.

On December 1, 1996, the historic "Km. 200" station in Pico Truncado was destroyed by a fire.

In 2009, Correo Argentino, the National post service, released a special edition stamp commemorating the Puerto Deseado Railway's 100th anniversary. The stamp showed a steam locomotive and the Puerto Deseado station building, c. 1930.

Post-closure

Remanent

All the PD&CLH rolling stock was dismantled and auctioned instead of preserving it from deterioration. Only one railcar made of wood would be preserved.

In December 1980 the coach N° 502, that had been built by British company Lancaster in 1898, was declared provincial cultural heritage and therefore preserved. This coach had been served in Ferrocarril Andino that connected Cuyo region with the Litoral ports. During its years of service at the PD&CLH line, the 502 was used as a first class coach and also carried troops that fought workers on strike during the Patagonia rebelde in 1921.

The 502 coach currently operates as a tourism office in Puerto Deseado.

Among the material preserved from destruction was a railcar built in Argentina with a 12-seat capacity. Nevertheless, it is currently abandoned. In July 2014, the historic first class P-111 coach was sent to the city of Jaramillo to be restored and preserved. That relic was abandoned in the Rawson regional hospital's backyard, where it had been left in 1986. The Secretary of Culture of Santa Cruz made the arrangements to move the wagon to Jaramillo. The P-111 was carried by truck during a four days trip, taking alternative roads to preserve it from damage since its big size didn't make it suitable to cross the narrow bridges of the region. The P-111 has a weight of 26 tons and was built in 1898.

Reopening projects
Since the closure of the line in 1978, there have been several projects to re-open the line, with unsuccessful results. One of them was introduced in 1996 by Chubut congressmen for the construction of the "Ferrocarril Transpatagónico". The railway line would join San Antonio Oeste in Río Negro with Río Gallegos in Santa Cruz, including the construction of a bridge between Punta Loyola and La Misión in Tierra del Fuego. The project also included the reopening of Ferrocarril Puerto Deseado-Colonia Las Heras and the Central Chubut Railway. The project was eventually dismissed.

While the railway privatisation in Argentina of 1992 was being carried out, the Argentine Railway Institute, a non-profit organisation, offered to reactivate lines in the country. Santa Cruz Province accepted the invitation, proposing to create a railway between Puerto Deseado and Puerto Chacabuco. Nevertheless, negotiations did not prosper and the railway would not be put into service.

In 2007 the National Government made a call for tenders and finally concessions for the refurbishment were given to UTE (formed by companies Herso-Sonis). Works began in November 2010.

In January 2013, the reopening of the line was officialised but only for the Puerto Deseado-Tellier section (20-km length), which would be completely rebuilt using 40,000 mt. of profiles and 10,000 mt of wooden sleepers.

Some works were carried out to reactivate the line, such as rail tracks weeding, with the collaboration of 20 engineering students from Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina ("Universidad Católica Argentina" - UCA) and the acquisition of a draisine in 2013. By August 2014, tracks had been weeded until Pico Truncado.

The UCA students also work on a tourist train project, named "Tren Deseado". State-owned company Ferrobaires donated them two post wagons and a locomotive to be restored. The train would run an 8 km path at a very low speed, with 6 intermediate stops and the possibility of visiting some points of interest in the zone.

In October, 2015, the Government of Argentina announced the reoponeing of the Puerto Deseado–Colonia Las Heras line. Works will include a widespread renovation of 285-km length rail tracks and sleepers. The station buildings would be also refurbished to put the line into operative conditions in an estimated time of 90 days, according to what the Ministry of Interior and Transport stated. Nevertheless, works were never carried out.

Playmesh's Shawn Foust on how to make location-based games work
Players not places should be the focus
Quark Games
May 15th, 2012 - 02:01pm
Shawn Foust is a VP at PlayMesh, handling a mix of business development, lore writing, and game design.
I often hear people say that games leveraging location-based services (LBS) are a failed experiment – that the real world has no place in games, and any effort to incorporate location is doomed to failure.
These people are wrong. Here's why.
The failure of design
I'm going to start with something counterintuitive, but bear with me: LBS games fail because they are based on locations.
LBS games typically focus entirely on a player's current location and other people's proximity to that location.
Total fail. Let's count the ways.
Day 1 failpocalypse
The typical LBS game contemplates two people who don't know each other sitting at the same location and breaking out into a spontaneous eBattle for dominance of that location.
There are hundreds of thousands of locations in San Francisco alone. On Day 1, you might have 5,000 users if you're lucky. If you have any mechanic that requires two players to exist within the same location as each other, you have a serious problem.
Players will sign in, see a vast empty wilderness, and decide they hate your game.
And they should. You designed a game for 50 million users, not 5,000. You don't get to assume player concentration on Day 1. If you want to get granular with location, that's a design option you grow into.
Depth of play constraints
People don't lead interesting lives. You can't design a game that assumes they do. People do not explore, they visit four locations (home, work, food, and bank). People are not traveling out of the way for your game.
If your game relies on physical presence, you've got a problem.
People aren't experiencing your game world, they're experiencing four locations, one of which no one else visits (their home). Hard to make a compelling game with that, particularly if no one is seeing anyone else.
Solution? Don't limit players to those four locations. Brilliant, I know.
Location imbalance
Not everyone lives in a city. Requiring proximity to diverse locations is the equivalent of telling folks residing outside of cities to go screw themselves.
I agree we're all special butterflies in San Francisco, but game designers need to be a bit more pragmatic if they're going to inject the real world into their games.
Game designers need to consider countervailing measures (modifying the range a person can interact with a location from, creating benefits for having fewer locations nearby).
It's a lot harder to succeed with game design if you eliminate two-thirds of your audience out of the gate.
Location provider
Getting locations into your game isn't particularly easy either. You've got a few options available and most folks choose poorly.
Many platforms have a number of restrictions in licence agreement that prevent developers from doing the interesting stuff they want to with location data – such as creating persistent environments or commingling data to inject new mechanics. There are some less restrictive solutions, but they often need a bit more by way of accuracy.
In any case, choosing where and how you get your data is a critical decision.
The solution? Screw location-based. Go location-aware.
The goal should be to take the data from the real world and use that as the context for the players. Make the game aware of all of the locations in a world, but don't require the player to be present in them.
Depth of play
The real world is more complicated than anything a designer can conjure up. The sophistication of the real world can be further enhanced by the player's personal connection to it.
Location-aware games are an opportunity to reach out to the world, draw in interesting data and create games on top of it.
As you can see, the real world information is driving the game mechanics.
Maybe the Midwest realm has a modifier that grants bonuses to wheat production because of the presence of farms. Perhaps the West Coast gains on fish production with micro-bonuses on the Kingdom level (perhaps LA produces more entertainment).
Locations next to highways have a trade route modifier and coffee shops may produce different resources compared to teashops.
The real world is a rich repository of information, and it is entirely possible to build a game layer on top of that information. Past games haven't taken advantage of this information, preferring to focus on location name and GPS coordinates.
Who cares about the name of the location? What matters is how a location impacts the game.
Do not confine players to their immediate location. Allow them to explore the world through your game. The world is the battleground, not a cage. Free them from their four locations and let them go forth.
It is entirely permissible to unhinge a person from their present location and permit them to move freely through the broader game universe. You can certainly tie game mechanics to this process, and hopefully those mechanics increase strategic play.
Also, the concept of distance can be a meaningful piece of data. Don't shrink the world by making movement instantaneous and cost free.
A shift from SF to NYC could require investment, but it will also deliver a sense of accomplishment. The perception of travel matters, not physical movement.
Above and beyond the interest possibilities in design, LBS games have a number of built-in advantages:
Clone Defense: Because of the technical and design complications, it's very tough to crank out a replica overnight.
Player Engagement: Players appreciate the opportunity to tap the real world. It gives them a greater sense of ownership.
Innately Social: If designed well, LBS games should inherently foster more communication and drive more organic growth.
Immediate Depth: If you go the location aware route and leverage location data effectively, you can create an incredibly sophisticated game world on top of the universe around people.

Doosan Infracore Participates in Construction Equipment Trade Show in South America while Accelerating Market Presence on the Continent
- Company will feature its flagship construction equipment for the continent at CONEXPO Latin America 2019
- Its market share growing in major South American countries including Chile, Colombia and Mexico
2019. 10. 7
Doosan Infracore is set to participate in a construction equipment trade show in South America while accelerating its marketing efforts for the continent.
On October 1, 2019, Doosan Infracore announced that it would be taking part in Latin CONEXPO 2019, a construction equipment trade show held in Santiago, Chile from October 2-5, 2019.
At the upcoming trade show, Doosan Infracore will introduce its flagship equipment for the continent, including medium-size excavators and wheel loaders, along with Doosan Bobcat's compact loaders and mini excavators. The company expects to further increase recognition of its construction equipment brand and to find potential new customers in Latin American markets through the trade show.
The South American construction equipment market reached 13,000 units per year after growing at an annual average rate of 19% over the last three years (2016-2018). During the same period, Doosan Infracore has been increasing its market share by more than 2 percentage points every year in major countries in the continent, such as Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador (except Brazil) and now its market share surpasses the 11% mark in those countries at present. It is the first time in five years that the company has ever achieved a double-digit market share in this market.
In Colombia, the company expects to record its best sales record ever in 2019 by selling 20 medium-size 22-ton excavators to an oil and gas pipeline contractor in June, among other orders. Its market share in Colombia has jumped from 10% in 2018 to over 15% as of September 2019. In Guyana and Surinam, Doosan Infracore enjoys dominant market shares of 70% and 40%, respectively.
In Chile, the second biggest construction equipment market in South America, Doosan Infracore is continuing to expand its market position through the sales of forestry equipment. Earlier this year, the company secured a large buyer in the country by signing a supply contract for 21 pieces of special-purpose forestry equipment with Besalco, a big business in the mining and forestry sectors.
Recently, Doosan Infracore further enhanced its product lineup by continuously launching new products tailored to the demand of the South American market, including 80-ton super-large excavators and 34-ton class medium-size excavators and wheel loaders. At the same time, the company has concentrated on enhancing its dealers' sales competencies in Latin America. In Mexico, the company achieved a 9% market share - roughly twice as big as its market share - in 2017, primarily through dealership restructuring. In 2018, the company opened a service training center in Bogota, Colombia, which has contributed to heightening the service competitiveness of its South American dealers.
An official of Doosan Infracore said, "We're accelerating our efforts to expand our market shares in South America, with our Chilean subsidiary playing a significant role." He continued, "We will keep up the momentum by raising recognition of our brands and products at the trade show, while continuing to launch products customized for the South American market and providing top-notch customer services to our customers there.

Q: Notice unread messages Im trying to notice the new unreaded messages on my chat. I'm using a bundle  and I create my own friendlist.Then on my chat view I can choice which user I want to chat with. I will show you my code cause I didn't get errors and I'm not sure why this don't work.
I got a column on my table called reading that works with a boolean and set a 0 if its an unread message.
ChatController.php
On my indexAction I made this :
` $userConnected= $this->container->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()->getUser();

    $friends= $em->getRepository(Agenda::class)->findByIdUsuari($userConnected);

    $messages=  $em->getRepository(Messages::class)->findByAddressee($userConnected);

    $newmessage= array();
    foreach ($messages as $value) {
        if ($value->getReading() == 0) {
            $newmessage= $value->getAuthor()->getId();
        }
     }

On my view I print the users and form.
That's where I print Users :

        {% for user in users %}
            {% if user.id != currentUser.id %}
                {{ user.username }}
            {% endif %}
        {% endfor %}

How can I implement that if the User's id of my list are the same as I saved on my variable $newmessage ???. I want that if got the same id, that means that got a 0 and he don't read the message so if I can check that I'll implement a class that will change the color of user's name.
UPDATE :
It seems that didnt work cause it sets Reading value to 1 and I don't know why cause on AjaxController it sets on 0 when I Send the message and change to 1 when user read it.
Controller:
https://pastebin.com/6LZ1FVG2

A: When you render your page inside your controller, you need to pass the variable into an array like this:
$this->render('default/index.html.twig', array(
    'newmessage' => $newmessage,
));

After in your twig you can use newmessage variable like this for example
{% if user.id == newmessage %}

Several problem solving techniques are described in the ITIL v3 Problem Management process volume. One of these techniques is the Ishikawa Diagrams. Ishikawa Diagrams are also commonly referred to as fishbone diagrams.
Ishikawa Diagrams provide a visual path to help understand the contributing factors that have created a problem.
The technique starts by defining the problem and then looking at the major components that could contribute to the problem (e.g. people, technology, environment). Next each component is further broken down (e.g. people - experience, people - training, people - attitude).
Eventually the fine detail emerges regarding the contributing factors and these are easier to address, rather than large topics like 'people'.

Showcasing the magnitude of its digital printing and finishing capabilities, The BoxMaker hosted a Packaging Experience (PX) Summit to educate customers about the benefits of digital. The March 19-20 Summit went well beyond a normal 'Learn-and-Lunch' program and included two days of speaker presentations, panel discussions, single topic breakout sessions and a tour of The BoxMaker's digital production site in Seattle, Wash. More than 200 people, including clients, prospects and industry peers, attended.
This was the second year for the Summit, according to Richard Brown, President of The BoxMaker. "The purpose of PX Summit is to provide an education on how to employ today's leading digital production technologies to connect with consumers and brands," he said.
Richard Brown, President of The BoxMaker, welcomes attendees to the Packaging Experience Summit.
The BoxMaker is a true pioneer in digital, beginning in 2011 with the installation of an HP Scitex FB700 printer. Today, the company is one of North America's highest capacity production centers for digital. Its 30,000-sq-ft digital operation, located just down the street from its larger box manufacturing facility, includes an HP PageWide C500 single pass digital production press, the first on the West Coast, HP Scitex 15500 and 17000 multi-pass printers, an HP Indigo WS6800 for labels and folding cartons, and Zund and Esko Kongsberg cutting tables. The newest Zund table has one of the first automated board handling systems in the world, enabling lights out operation.
To augment its digital printing business, The BoxMaker in 2017 launched Fantastapack (www.fantastapack.com), a web-to-print platform for digitally printed packaging solutions.
The PX Summit agenda included keynote presentations by Ted Samotis, VP of National Graphics, Georgia-Pacific, Mike Ferrari, Founder/Principle, Ferrari Innovation Solutions, and Doris Brown-McNally, Global Brands Innovation Manager, HP, Inc. The nine breakout sessions addressed a wide range of topics, from prototyping, labels & flexible packaging, and product protection to water-based digital inks and personalization.
Samotis, who was involved in the scale up of GP's Hummingbird digital packaging solutions business in Cincinnati, Ohio, addressed the supply chain benefits of digital print production. With an HP PageWide Web Press T400S, Hummingbird is the first packaging supplier in North America to provide 110-inch wide web capability for digital pre-print at lengths limited only by converting capability.
He referenced the benefits of digital, such as shorter lead times ("days, not weeks"), ease of managing SKU proliferation, personalization, no order quantity restraints, and low initiation costs and speed to market.
Another benefit is the simplified proofing process. Hummingbird customers are provided with a print sample right off the press. "So you're not getting a proof, you're getting an actual production sample," Samotis said, adding that pre-press takes only a couple of days due to Hummingbird's investment in automation.
Ferrari encouraged the packaging buyers in the room to revisit their business plans. "There is an opportunity for you to go beyond the brown box because we're no longer in the time when corrugated is just made for shipping. It's needed more than ever before to create that experiential moment," he said.
He advised testing out this new digital opportunity with a small project. "The mantra I've always lived by is 'Test a little, learn a lot.' Make some samples or try it in a focus group or test markets," he said.
The BoxMaker provides digitally printed labels and corrugated retail displays and packaging to three local craft breweries that participated in a "Brand Success" panel discussion. Caleb Blatz, Graphic Designer of 2 Towns Ciderhouse, said his original perception of digital was that the print quality was lower resolution, however, he was excited to be proven wrong. "I was stoked with the results and the turnaround time," he said.
Adam Ransavage, Brand and Merch Coordinator, Iron Horse Brewery, said digital supports his company's satirical voice. "We do a lot of micro-experiences so if you read the fine print on our case display there is this fine print that makes fun of the store we're in just because no one else is doing it. Digital is great for that voice and pushing that forward," he said.
A second "Brand Success" panel featured John Simpson, Vice President of Seattle Gourmet Foods, John Taliercio, CEO, Global Custom Source, and Justin Stacey, Fantastapack.com's Director of Innovation & New Business.
Simpson said digital printing keeps his company nimble. If a large format retailer like Costco suddenly requests a change, Seattle Gourmet Foods can react quickly. "In today's digital space my sales guy can say, 'Don't get stuck on the box. It's a digital mock-up that we had made yesterday. We'll get you a new one tomorrow.
The "Brand Success" panel, from left, moderator Linda Casey, Editor of BXP magazine, John Simpson of Seattle Gourmet Foods, John Taliercio of Global Custom Source, and Justin Stacey, Fantastapack.com's Director of Innovation & New Business.
Brown-McNally wrapped up the two-day PX Summit with a presentation about "Escapades in Digital Print." She provided a variety of examples of how major brands are using digital through personalization, versioning and other techniques to create a moment of engagement for consumers and drive sales for the brand owner.
"Studies show that people are willing to pay anywhere from 42% more for items that are personalized and/or creatively done," she said.
The BoxMaker's HP PageWide C500 press has been running production jobs for about two months.


Can pension funds and life insurance companies keep their promises?
This report examines the potential impact of an environment of protracted low interest rates on pension systems and life insurance companies. It describes the mechanisms through which prolonged low interest rates can affect the solvency position of these institutions and uses available data to assess potential impacts.
Low growth, low interest rates and low returns on investment linked to the slow global economy are now compounding the problems of population ageing for both public and private pension systems, according to a new OECD report.

Business & Economy Startups New US$50 million venture fund launches in the Philippines
New US$50 million venture fund launches in the Philippines
Business & EconomyStartups
The venture arm provides a new avenue for a corporate that counts Sea Group as a notable portfolio company
JG Summit Holdings, a large conglomerate in the Philippines, has launched a US$50 million fund to target startups that operate in sectors similar to its current holdings, according to Esquire.
Called JG Digital Equity Ventures (JG DEV) the venture fund is part of an effort to "build new businesses beyond its core". It wants to invest in companies that will either supplement or disrupt its current holdings.
The company plans to invest in Series A or Series B rounds. The logic is to invest in companies on the precipice of scale. It anticipates cheque sizes that range from US$1 million to US$10 million.

An interesting part of the fund is the focus on startups that work in similar areas as its subsidiary companies. This could include real estate, retail and airlines (Cebu Pacific is one famous JG Summit company). It also plans to target startups in finance, consumer services, new media, logistics and healthcare.
JG Summit has already invested in the startup sector, albeit at a later stage. It invested in Sea Group back in 2017 and a Chinese fintech firm called Oriente which owns Cashalo. JG DEV will be separated from the investments made by the parent corporation.
Growsari and Snapcart are also portfolio companies.

Dealing with the cultural war in Israel and the lack of adequate Torah education in our homeland and in the Diaspora!
The ruling power in our Holy land during the last 100 years, was and still is in the hands of secular Jews. They know that a G-d fearing person will not vote for a secular party. Since the continuation of their ruling power, is more important to them than Jewish Survival, therefore they place all possible difficulties in order to curb Torah-supervised education to all Jewish children.
Therefore, although the vast majority of immigrants to the Land of Yisrael during the last 100 years, (except for Russia Jews), were Torah observant, their offspring became secular. Diaspora Torah education shortage, increase intermarriage. Europe 85%. USA 58%, and their number fell in a short period, from 7 to 3.5 million.
How should we deal with these problems?
Torah education is in a way parallel to the baking of Passover Matzah. The most critical time of baking Matzah is from the making of the dough, which is fermenting and may become Chametz. The dough is flexible and may change its shape depending on the ambient pressure, until the "end of baking" which stops its fermentation and it does not become Chametz anymore. A crust is formed over the dough that does not allow it to change its form anymore despite environmental pressures. - The critical time of Torah education, is from the physical maturity age of 13 years, when the child's mind begins to ferment and think actively, but he is still like a monkey, which copies everything he sees, and is flexible like dough and he may change his thinking by social pressures, until the mental maturity age of 20! Since from that age, people do not change and may remain with the 15 years of education invested in them.
Therefore, Torah education and supervision that were stopped before the age of 20, risks of losing the education investment in the youngster, since like a monkey he copies and like a dough he adapts to the social environment! If he lives in a secular society he will become a secular person! (Adapted from Rabbi Soloweitzik 5728).
"From age 20 and up, exit army! (Bamidbar 1:3, 4:23). Why "exit" when actually he enters the army? The topic is, that if he must exit his Torah institution he should not do it even one day before the age of 20.
By the Leviyim. Who start their sanctuary service at the age of 25 or 30, it's written: "Who comes" to serve. What adds the word "and-up?" Since only one out of 365, starts school or enlists into the army in wartime at his birthday. All the others, at few days or months before or after. The Torah is teaching us, that in case of need, one may exit his Torah institute at the age of 20 and up, however not one day before 20.
Currently, our people do not have available funds for Torah Education & supervision for all our Jewish children up to the age of 20! Nevertheless, it is our duty to bring Torah education to every Yid, and especially to the youngsters at least in an indirect way! Like our forefather Avraham, who observed the entire Torah, without his parents / community taught him!
Avraham, like Adam, the first human being, immersed in a Mikvah, to connect with the Creator even in good times, which provides the impetus for self Torah study, when and where there is no community Torah education. Thus, "Mikva Education to Every Yid" which involves only very minimal expenditure and available funds, is a critical issue to each one of our people!
"Remember Amalek!" Who killed in the desert, only men who did not immerse, and the clouds of glory expelled them outside the camp, into the swords of Amalek! (Pirkay D'rabbi Eliezer 44).
Nowadays, men have no Mikva immersion obligation but we are duty-bound, also as a deterrent against assimilation and intermarriage. Since after Mikva immersion, man thinks, prays and lives differently, and elevates himself from life of Purity to life of Sanctity.
