Оле́г Петро́вич Базиле́вич () — советский и украинский футболист и футбольный тренер. Кандидат педагогических наук. Методист. Совместно с Валерием Лобановским разработал и внедрил систему подготовки футболистов высокой квалификации. Автор разработок стратегии и тактики футбола. Заслуженный тренер СССР (1975) и Украины.

Биография
Долгое время играл вместе с В. Лобановским за «Динамо» Киев. Игровую карьеру заканчивал в «Шахтёре». В этом же клубе достиг первых тренерских успехов, где создал сильную и добротную команду.

В 1974 году был приглашён Лобановским в «Динамо» Киев. В течение трёх лет тренерский тандем «Динамо» (и одновременно сборной СССР) достиг первых высоких побед для советского футбола на еврокубковой арене. Однако в 1976 году «Динамо» и сборная выступили менее удачно. В итоге Базилевич ушёл из команды.

Проведя два сезона в «Динамо» Минск, Базилевич перешёл в 1979 году в ташкентский «Пахтакор». В тот год команда «Пахтакор» почти в полном составе разбилась в небе над Днепродзержинском. Сам Базилевич случайным образом не попал на тот рейс. Он помог пригласить футболистов из других клубов высшей лиги в «Пахтакор». Однако на новый сезон в команде не остался, поскольку, по собственному признанию, «был мыслями в ЦСКА, который потенциально мог замахнуться на чемпионство».

Однако успехов в ЦСКА не достиг, признав позже, что команде помешали негативные явления «теневой спортивной экономики». Сначала дела шли неплохо: клуб в 1980 году занял 5 место (впервые за последние 10 лет) и на следующий год вновь заиграл в еврокубках. В 1981 году команда заняла 6-е место. Однако уже в 1982 году команда стала играть неудачно, почти сразу опустившись на дно турнирной таблицы. В конце июля — августе не могла выиграть в течение 8 игр. 3 сентября, после ничейной игры с «Динамо» Киев, Базилевич был уволен.

После ЦСКА часть времени Базилевич посвятил написанию диссертации. В 1984 году принял приглашение «Зари» Ворошиловград, признав позже, что это было ошибкой.

В октябре 1992 года стал главным тренером сборной Украины, однако больших успехов с командой не достиг.

В январе 2017 года появились сообщения о наличии у Базилевича болезни Паркинсона, с которой он боролся долгие годы.

Скончался 16 октября 2018 года в Киеве. Похоронен 18 октября на Центральной аллее Байкового кладбища.

I downloaded the Bootstrap 3 RC2 css file from their website three days ago. The documentation says that these exist and work.
The CSS file I downloaded contains visible-small but not visible-xs.

A: You use the wrong class name. Bootstrap provides visible-sm instead of visible-small. Change the class name and it works.
Another problem is I cannot find the visible-xs class inside your included CSS file (which is currently at: http://cja.org.uk/css/bootstrap.css). You should use the official CDN at http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0-wip/css/bootstrap.min.css

Rolf Steinemann, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology, explains how scalability, dosing accuracy and performance can lead to success.
With consumers increasingly preferring small and convenient packages that are easy to transport and whose content can be consumed at any time, flat pouches continue to grow in popularity. Why? They are small, convenient, easy to open and can be used immediately. They are also easy to store and extremely hard-wearing. From sugar and coffee to body care products and condiments, today almost anything can be packaged in this handy size. No wonder, then, that this pack style is expected to grow significantly in the near future.
Flat pouches are not only practical for consumers, they are also comparatively cost-effective for manufacturers. Now, thanks to new, innovative technologies, manufacturers can benefit from this trend with even greater flexibility and efficiency. In a series of three interviews, Rolf Steinemann, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology, explains how scalability, dosing accuracy and performance can lead to success.
How do you define scalability?
Today's market is very fast paced and manufacturers must have the flexibility to react quickly in order to benefit from trends and to remain relevant to consumers. In this sense, the scalability of a packaging machine can be explained by modular flexibility. This can be achieved in different ways: flexibility in the number of lanes and packaging formats, product flexibility and a variable machine layout. Alongside the number of cycles, it is the number of lanes that is crucial to the output quantities of flat pouches. If, for example, a manufacturer wishes to increase production, it helps if the number of lanes can be increased quickly and without great investment. This means that the number of lanes is variable and can be adjusted at any time. Today, for example, production can take place on two lanes and next week on twelve. Manufacturers should be in a position to bring about this conversion quickly, without considerable effort or high investment costs.
Flat pouches are ideal for packaging everyday condiments such as sauces or seasoning.
2. What is the situation with other flexibility aspects?
If a manufacturer wishes to adjust the sachet size, a machine is required that can be converted quickly from one format to another. A good example of this is where a special offer requires 20 per cent more content to be added per package. To do this, larger flat pouches must be produced for a short period of time. Innovative facilities are also flexible in this regard because the cross-sealing is variable, so it's possible to switch between different sachet sizes at any time.
If a manufacturer wishes to fill using different products at the same time – and so achieve high product flexibility – decentralised product reserves have many advantages over the centralised product reserves that are typical today. Each lane has its own complete dosing unit and its own product reserve. This makes the flat pouch machine extremely flexible as different products can be used to fill packs on the same machine on parallel lanes at the same time – for example coffee and milk powders or salt and pepper.
Another important point is layout flexibility. A variable interface to subsequent packaging processes is important. This means that machinery can be integrated into an existing system or the system configuration can be adapted to current needs.
3. How can manufacturers benefit from a scalable flat pouch machine?
Scalability is crucial because it guarantees a high degree of flexibility at all levels: output, pack size, product and production layout. An innovative design solution creates the potential for direct savings here, as the investment costs for a highly flexible machine are very manageable, leaving all possibilities open - even for the future. This lowers overall operational costs, making Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) figures more attractive, and increases profitability for the manufacturer.
Why exactly is dosing accuracy so crucial?
Highest dosing accuracy is a vital topic in relation to production costs. Every manufacturer wants to avoid product loss and waste in order to achieve maximum productivity. By using accurate dosing and filling deep inside the pouch, less material is lost during the filling process, saving companies tons of valuable product material every year. It also helps them to avoid additional costs and to meet various statutory filling standards. Dosing accuracy is vital for industries such as food, cosmetics and especially the pharmaceutical industry. Patient safety and protection is paramount, and precise dosing is required to ensure the patient has the required level of medication supplied to them.
The development of the Sigpack VPF's precise dosing technology was based on years of experience.
2. What else is crucial besides dosing?
The combination of precise dosing and reliable sealing is the foundation for a high level of quality in production. At Bosch, we have a great deal of experience, as sealing technology and dosing accuracy are among our core competencies. Long sealing times enable low sealing temperatures and offer high levels of packaging flexibility. The sealed seams can be either tight or hermetic and are visually appealing. Because of the low sealing temperatures, there is only minimal heat loading of the product and the film and the continuous working principle is gentle on the material and ensures consistently high pouch quality. Thanks to the tightly sealed seams, the product is packed safely without loss and is simultaneously protected from contamination. Because the powder does not spill out, there is no powder residue in the sealed seams.
3. The hygienic aspect is extremely important, not only in the pharmaceuticals sector. How can optimized flat pouch platforms support manufacturers in this regard?
The hygienic and ergonomic design of the platform supports our quality requirements to minimize errors and ensure a user-friendly operation. As regards hygiene, stainless steel and other materials that are suitable for all current cleaning options are used. In addition, the systems are easily accessible to guarantee quick and safe cleaning -short cleaning and changeover times contribute to high levels of overall equipment effectiveness.
Precise dosing is vital for powder pharmaceutical products in particular.
In summary, what are the most important points regarding innovative flat pouch systems?
There are four main points that advocate an economic flat pouch system that support manufacturers in taking advantage of market opportunities effectively: Productivity, scalability, flexibility and overall equipment effectiveness.
Productivity: A high performance per square meter is an important factor for the economic success of most companies. So maximum output on a minimum production area is ideal for efficient production.
Scalability: In this sense, the scalability of a packaging machine can be interpreted as modular flexibility. A modern system will grow as production increases. This means that it can be adapted to ever-evolving market requirements. Both the investment and the effort required for these conversions should be as low as possible.
Flexibility: A new machine always means a big investment for the manufacturer. The more flexible the system, the greater and more profitable the benefits for the manufacturer. Previously, flexibility was measured on one level - in the variation of pack styles that can be produced on one machine. Today, and even more so in the future, production flexibility must be achieved on every level: different pack styles, varied pouch sizes, scalable output and the possibility of packing different products in parallel. Ideally, the manufacturer requires just one system that fulfils all flexibility criteria with minimum effort.
Overall equipment effectiveness: High output paired with low waste, quick format changes, simple operation and easy cleaning are key factors in overall equipment effectiveness.
New, innovative flat pouch technologies from Bosch ensure the highest quality and greatest efficiency.

NSW GOVERNMENT TO REGROW FORESTRY INDUSTRY FOLLOWING CATASTROPHIC BUSHFIRES
Bombala is among a number of areas across the State that is set to benefit as the NSW Government embarks on the largest replanting program in the state's history, beginning with an injection of $46 million into Forestry Corporation.
Deputy Premier and Member for Monaro John Barilaro said more than 10 million new shoots would be planted over the next 12 months across NSW.
"The forestry industry was devastated by an unprecedented bushfire season, with more than 50,000 hectares of the state's pine plantations burnt," Mr Barilaro said.
"Bombala was among the areas hit, with around 30 per cent of the local plantation area impacted.
"Thanks to the $46 million stimulus funding we are able to give the replanting efforts a real kick-start. Across the state this means more than 14.5 million trees will be replanted yearly from 2021, a massive 40 per cent increase on 2019 plantings.
"In Bombala this will see 1 million softwood seedlings planted. This investment will get us back to pre-bushfire levels of stocked trees in state-owned pine plantations within a decade."
Mr Barilaro said the stimulus funding will also support new contracts and job opportunities and rebuild lost infrastructure.
"NSW's forestry industry supports around 23,000 direct jobs and many more indirect jobs and they've had a really tough start to the year, so we are showing our support by ramping-up our efforts to get the industry back on track," Mr Barilaro said.
Forestry Corporation of NSW provides about 25 per cent of the timber needed for housing construction across the country, as well as a significant proportion of the fibre used for food packaging, including cardboard.
Additional support for the NSW forestry industry has also been made available through the $140 million bushfire recovery package announced last month by the NSW Government.

Expat savers face falling fixed interest rates
Expatriate savers face a tough decision at the moment - is it worth taking out a fixed rate or is it better to hang on until rates rise?
Beware, competitive interest rates might not last long Photo: Studioshots / Alamy
By Charlotte Beugge
9:01AM GMT 29 Nov 2010
The trend on offshore fixed rates seems to be downwards and savers could be tempted to put their money in before there are further falls.
In the last few days, Lloyds TSB International cut its one, two and three year fixed rates by 0.25 of a percentage point, even though there has been no change in Bank of England base rate for nearly two years.
Lloyds TSB's rate cuts are mirrored at its sister bank Halifax International, which is closed to new savers (they are being directed to Lloyds instead). For one year, Lloyds and Halifax are now paying 1.75 per cent, a reduction of 0.25 of a point. Over two years their fixed rates are 1.85 per cent (down 0.25) and for three, 2.5 per cent (down 0.2).
Mark Spagnoli, head of savings at Lloyds TSB International said: "Our fixed term deposit rates have been reduced following changes in market conditions.
"We regularly review our products and interest rates and consequently launched the International Incentive Saver last month which offers a competitive 2.42 per cent. Research showed us that customers wanted an account that rewards them for saving over a period of time, but still allows access if they need it."
The Irish banking crisis: could it affect you?

Expats prefer British banks
Time to look onshore for better deals
However it's possible to get far better rates than those offered by Lloyds – for one year, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley are offering 3 per cent, nearly double Lloyds' rate.
Over two years, again Bradford & Bingley and Alliance & Leicester trump Lloyds at 3.6 per cent compared with its rate of 1.85 per cent. And over three, Britannia International (part of the Co-operative Bank) offers 3.75 per cent. Its five year fixed rate is unchanged at 3.5 per cent – but you can get 4 per cent at Clydesdale and Abbey.
While the Bank of England base rate remains stagnant at 0.5 per cent, the latest poll of economists by Reuters suggests that by the end of next year rates might have risen to 1 per cent. However the Bank of England inflation report earlier this month caused a rise in the five year swap rate. This might suggest that a rise in rates will happen, possibly with a small token rise early in the New Year.
However, although fixed rates might rise in the future, it's unlikely to be by a huge level. And fixed rates – certainly the short term ones – still look tempting. If you can fix at 3 per cent for a year, you're getting six times base rate.
But if you go for a variable rate instead, you can get 2.9 per cent. This is from Anglo Irish Bank Corp. Deposits with all Irish banks are 100 per cent covered by the Irish government until next year but do watch the Irish economic situation: the guarantee is only as good as the government.
However Nationwide International, owned by the UK's biggest building society, is offering 2.6 per cent easy access on a minimum £25,000.
If you had £50,000 in the Nationwide account then over a year you'll earn £1,300 in interest. The same amount in the Alliance & Leicester would earn you £1,500: £200 more. However, if you go for the fixed rate and base rate suddenly rises far more quickly than anticipated you could lose out - that's the risk you're taking.
The one thing you should not do is opt for an account with a variable rate of interest which demands several weeks or months notice to withdraw money. Added to that, the rates on offer on notice accounts are not as good as you can get on easy access.

Key 6. Don't talk like a zombie. | The Umpteen Keys to happiness.
← Key 7. Alice and the creatures of the Dark Forest.
Yet I knew it did worry him because he had tried hard to keep the dog.
Talking with Oscar was like talking to a zombie. He was adept at avoiding telling people what he felt. He denied emotional involvement by using expressions such as 'I don't know' or 'It doesn't worry me', or he gave an opinion. Being unable, or unwilling, to articulate his emotions made it difficult for him to deal with them, and it made him feel deadened.
By numbing his dark emotions, Oscar had numbed the fun ones too. His inability to express his feelings to others also prevented him from fully connecting with them and making friends.
When people ask us what we are feeling and we reply,'Nothing', our answer indicates not that we have no emotions, but rather, that we aren't yet good at identifying them. Perhaps we think emotions are frivolous things and more trouble than they're worth. Or, we might be concerned that if we feel emotions, we may again experience the pain we used to feel.
The trouble is, when we rely solely on logic we deny ourselves emotional release, whether it be in joy or in pain. A big part of us doesn't get to see the sun, and it doesn't get to blossom. Identifying the emotions we are feeling may sound scary, and may in some cultures be considered unmanly, but it is safe and it is manly. It just takes getting used to, that's all.
So, if you are asked how you feel about something, don't say 'I don't care' or 'it doesn't worry me,' or 'no problem', because you are only telling the person what you don't feel. Instead, answer the question and tell the person what you do feel. More importantly, do it to become aware of what is happening inside yourself.
The more adept we become at recognising our own emotions, the better we become at dealing with them. Then our confidence in ourselves grows. And, we feel safer – not because we are protecting ourselves, but because we have lost the need to protect ourselves.
So, the next time you are tempted to say 'I don't feel anything in particular', or 'I don't care', or 'I feel nothing', or 'no problem', search within yourself for an emotion. Any emotion. Even if it's just an atom of an emotion, say it!
To make sure you're not being lazy, figure out the answers for yourself. Label them. Figure out what other emotions you are feeling and label them too. And be specific.
If you search for an emotion but fail to find one, use the term 'I feel indifferent'. That's better than telling the person what you are not feeling, and it's more accurate.
Instead, tell the person what you are feeling. Search for an emotion within, and say it.
Try instead: 'I feel elated' (or any word that accurately reflects what you are actually feeling).

Die Fahrzeuge der Baureihe 102.1 der Deutschen Reichsbahn waren leichte zweiachsige Rangierdiesellokomotiven mit Stangenantrieb.

Entwicklung
Die Deutsche Reichsbahn beabsichtigte, im Rahmen ihres Neubauprogrammes, die Beschaffung einer neuen kleinen dieselhydraulischen Lokomotive für den leichten Strecken-, Übergabe- und Rangierdienst. Diese Lokomotive sollte die weitverbreiteten und überwiegend verschlissenen Kleinlokomotiven Kö und Köf ersetzen. So entwickelte die DR zunächst die Baureihen 101.0 bis 101.7. Leistungsmäßig und lauftechnisch wurde mit diesen Maschinen das Konstruktionsprinzip der Kleinlokomotiven verlassen. Die Lokomotiven bewährten sich gut und waren bei den Personalen beliebt. Trotzdem wurde, unter Beibehaltung des Fahrzeugteils, ein stärkerer Motor und ein geändertes Getriebe eingebaut und somit die DR-Baureihe 102.0 geschaffen.

Im Ergebnis enger Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Deutschen Reichsbahn und dem LKM Babelsberg entstand 1970 ein neues Triebfahrzeug, bei dem die bewährte Antriebstechnik der Baureihe 102.0 übernommen wurde. Die bei den Baureihen 101/102 gewonnenen Erfahrungen und die Forderungen des Auftraggebers wurden dabei berücksichtigt. Mit nunmehr 3560 mm Radstand war eine laufruhige Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 40 km/h möglich. Die Anfahrzugskraft von 71 kN ließ nun das Rangieren schwerer Einheiten zu.

Konstruktion
Der stabil ausgeführte, komplett geschweißte Blechinnenrahmen wurde aus 20 mm starken Blechen gefertigt, um die beim Rangierdienst auftretenden typischen Belastungen auszuhalten. Den oberen Abschluss bildet ein Rahmendeckblech mit Durchlässen für Dieselmotor und Getriebe sowie Einzüge an den Rahmenenden für geräumige Rangiertritte. Der Fahrzeugrahmen stützt sich über Blattfedern auf die beiden gleitgelagerten Radsätze ab. An den ausgesteiften Stirnwänden wurden zunächst die normalen UIC-Zug- und Stoßvorrichtungen montiert. Für den später vorgesehenen Einbau einer Mittelpufferkupplung wurden entsprechende Aufnahmeschächte vorgesehen.

Im Vorbau sind Kühler, Dieselmotor, Verteilergetriebe, Dreizylinder-Luftverdichter, Kraftstoffbehälter, Ölbadluftfilter und der Abgasschalldämpfer untergebracht. Luftbehälter, Sand- und Batteriekästen sind jeweils rechts und links unterhalb des begehbaren Umlaufs verbaut.

Zur Krafterzeugung dient ein Dieselmotor 6 VD 18/15-1 SRW 1 aus dem VEB Elbewerk Roßlau. Als Sechszylinder-Vorkammerreihenmotor ohne Aufladung leistet er 220 PS (162 kW) bei 1510 min−1. Wie aus der Typenbezeichnung hervorgeht, haben die Zylinder eine Bohrung von 150 mm und einen Hub von 180 mm. Der verbaute Dieselmotor ist zwar ein Kaltstarter, konnte aber, bei Fremdeinspeisung von Elektroenergie aus dem Ortsnetz, auch elektrisch vorgewärmt oder warmgehalten werden. Die Betriebszustände des Motors wie Öldruck und Temperaturen wurden elektrisch überwacht. Eine Überschreitung der Sollwerte führte zum automatischen Abstellen der Antriebsmaschine.

Der Kraftfluss erfolgt vom Motor zunächst über eine drehelastische Kupplung und eine kurze Gelenkwelle zum Hochtrieb des Strömungsgetriebes GSU 20/4,5 mit Anfahrwandler (bis 16 km/h) und Marschwandler (für 16–40 km/h). Das Umschalten des Getriebes erfolgt selbsttätig abhängig von der Fahrgeschwindigkeit. An das Strömungsgetriebe ist das Wendegetriebe direkt angeflanscht, das den Wechsel der Fahrtrichtung ermöglicht.

Die Blindwelle wird vom Wendegetriebe direkt angetrieben und überträgt das Drehmoment über Kuppelstangen auf die beiden Radsätze.

Am Dieselmotor ist ein Verteilergetriebe verbaut, das über Riementrieb und elektrisch schaltbare Lamellenkupplungen den Kühlerlüfter und den Luftverdichter antreibt. Die Kupplungen werden entsprechend der Betriebszustände Kühlwassertemperatur und Behälterdruck geschaltet.

Als Bremseinrichtung dient den Loks eine selbsttätige Einkammer-Druckluftbremse, Bauart Knorr mit von beiden Führerstandsseiten bedienbarem Führerbremsventil Fbs 14 und eine nichtselbsttätige, direktwirkende Zusatzbremse mit Zusatzbremsventilen. Die beiden Radsätze werden einseitig von vorn gebremst. Die mechanische Handbremse wirkt über Gestänge auf die Mechanik der Druckluftbremse.

Die Lokomotiven haben eine 24-V-Elektroenergieversorgung aus einer Drehstromlichtmaschine mit Gleichrichter oder aus Bleiakkumulatoren. Das Anlassen des Dieselmotors erfolgt elektrisch mit einem 15 PS-Anlasser. Alle Lokomotiven sind mit Sicherheitsfahrschaltung ausgerüstet und teilweise außer Rangierfunk auch mit Zugfunk ausgerüstet worden.

Bei den letzten Instandsetzungen durch die Deutsche Bahn erhielten alle aufgearbeiteten Lokomotiven Ölauffangwannen unter Motor, Getriebe und Radsatzlagern.

Einzelne Maschinen wurden noch mit der automatischen Rangierkupplung RK 900 ausgerüstet.

Einsatz

Alle 157 Lokomotiven wurden an die DR geliefert und waren im gesamten Netz anzutreffen. Die von den Personalen als Briefkasten, Gartenlaube oder Fußbank bezeichneten Loks bewährten sich ebenso gut wie ihre Vorgänger. Vorwiegend in den Bereichen der Wagenwirtschaft und der Fahrzeuginstandhaltung oder im Bauzugbetrieb sind diese Lokomotiven noch heute zu finden.
Mittlerweile wurde durch die DB fast der gesamte Bestand verschrottet oder an andere Betreiber veräußert. Waren die Lokomotiven der Baureihe 102.1 vor der Bahnreform nur bei der DR beschäftigt, sind diese robusten Rangierer heute noch bei einigen Werkbahnen und Eisenbahnvereinen in Deutschland und sogar in der Schweiz anzutreffen.

Index on Censorship here. We've noticed some of you have had trouble telling the difference between terrorists and journalists lately (yes, you too Barack: put the BlackBerry down). So we thought as people with some experience of the journalism thing, we could offer you a few handy tips to refer to the next time you find yourself asking: journalist or terrorist?
Have a look at your suspect. Is he carrying a) a notebook with weird squiggly lines on it, or b) an RPG-7. If the latter, odds on he's a terrorist. The former? Most likely a journalist. Those squiggly lines are called "shorthand" - it's what reporters do when they're writing things down for, er, reporting. It might look a bit like Arabic, but it's not, and even if it was, that wouldn't be a good enough reason to lock the guy up.
Still not clear? Let's move on to the questioning part.
Questioning can be difficult. Your modern terrorist will be highly committed, and trained to withstand even your steeliest glare (and whatever other tactics you might use, eh? LOL! Winky Smiley!). So it may be difficult to establish for certain whether he or she is in fact a terrorist by simply asking them. They might even say they are a journalist, when actually they are terrorists! Sneaky! But there are some ways of getting past this deviousness.
Does your suspect have strong feelings about unpaid internships and their effect on the industry? Or "paywalls" and profit models? Your journalist will pounce on these questions in a way that may be quite scary to watch, and keep you there talking about it long after you've told her she's free to go. Your terrorist is not as bothered by these issues, generally, though may accept that it is very difficult for kids to get on the terror ladder these days and nepotism is not an ideal way to run a global bombing campaign.
Ask your suspect if he spends too much time on Twitter: If he gets defensive and says something along the lines of "yes, but the fact is it's justified. Stories break on Twitter. It's not just all hashtag games and…" (again, this could go on for several hours, and will most likely end up being all about hashtag games), then he's a journalist. [Note: If your suspects seem to spend a lot of time getting into Twitter spats with the Israel Defence Force, they may be a bit terroristy].
Does your suspect look stressed? Like, really, really stressed? Probably a journalist.
Finally, just try saying the phrase "below the line". If you get a slightly confused look, you've probably got a terrorist. If there is actual wailing and gnashing of teeth, journalist.
Now let's go over why you might be making this mix up. This is where a lot of people get confused, so we'll be as clear as possible, but do keep up.
Terrorists generally hold quite extreme views which, it's fair to say, most of us probably do not agree with. However, this does not mean that anyone you disagree with is a terrorist. Or, importantly, that someone who's spoke to someone who you disagree with is a terrorist.
We understand that this can be quite a difficult point to get your head around, so here's an example: If, say, a large, international news organisation reports on things you'd rather they didn't, in a way you don't like, this does NOT make them a "terrorist organisation". The people working for them are NOT terrorists "broadcasting false news that harms national security".
Sometimes, journalists will cover the activities of terrorist organisations, like al-Qaeda. This, however, does not automatically make them their "media man". Get this - you can even interview members of a terrorist organisation without actually being a terrorist yourself.
Similarly, if someone has something that you want back, that doesn't mean you get to use terrorism laws to get it, even if you think that thing is very, very important. And yes, even if they intend to use that thing to write stories about you.
Keep these basic ideas in mind and we can almost guarantee you'll never make the embarrassing mistake of calling journalists terrorists again. Any doubts? Call us. We're here to help.

Ksilem je jedan od dva tipa transportnog tkiva kod vaskularnih biljki (floem je drugi). Reč ksilem je izveden iz  (ksilon), sa značenjem "drvo". Najbolje poznato ksilemsko tkivo je drvo, mada je ono prisutno i kod drugih biljiki. Njegova osnovna funkcija je transport vode i biljnih nutrijenata.

Ranije se smatralo da se provodnim elementima ksilema isključivo transportuje voda sa mineralnim materijama od korena do svih delova biljke, a sadašnja saznanja govore da se u ksilemskom soku:
 mogu naći mnoga organska jedinjenja koja proizvodi koren (npr. alkaloidi) ili ih usvaja iz zemljišta
 aminokiseline i amidi koji su nastali prilikom redukcije nitrati i ugrađivanja soli amonijuma u organska jedinjenja
 u proleće kod višegodišnjih biljaka, dok se ne razviju listovi, biljka se iz korena i različitih podzemnih organa za skladištenje (krtole, lukovice, rizomi i sl.) snabdeva organskim materijama preko ksilema
 klijanje mlade biljke odvija se korišćenjem organskih materija iz semena ili drugih podzemnih organa, kroz ksilem
 nalaze biljni hormoni, citokinini i giberelini, koje proizvodi meristem korena
 prenose spore i toksini patogenih gljiva i virusi.

Usled transpiracije u nadzemnim delovima biljke i apsorpcije vode u korenu, javlja se razlika u pritisku, koja se naziva sisajuća sila i koja omogućava kretanje vode naviše.

Ksilem je izgrađen od mrtvih ćelija sa odrvenelim zidovima, koje se nazivaju:
 traheje i traheidi
 parenhimsko tkivo ksilema
 mehanički tkivo, libriform vlakna

Traheje i traheidi
Obe vrste ćelija su mrtve, bez protoplasta i sa zadebljalim, lignifikovanim zidovima koji mogu izdržati pritisak. Traheje su dugačke cevi, do 10 cm dužine, nastale uzdužnim spajanjem ćelija. Uzdužni zidovi ćelija koje će obrazovati traheju odrvenjavaju, a njihovi poprečni zidovi delimično ili potpuno nestaju.

Prema obliku zadebljanja zidova , među trahejama se razlikuju:
 prstenaste, nalaze se u organima koji rastu
 spiralne, kao i prstenaste u organima koji rastu
 mrežaste, imaju delove zidova koji nisu zadebljali i kroz koje je moguć bočni transport; prema obliku nezadebljalih delova mogu biti jamičaste, stepeničaste i dr.

Traheide su izdužene ćelije najčešće sa šiljatim vrhovima. Transport materija vrši se kroz dvostruko opšančene jamice na radijalnim i poprečnim zidovima. Ove jamice se nalaze na mestu odvajanja primarnog od sekundarnog zida. Traheide su filogenetski stariji elementi, prisutni kod papratnjača i golosemenica gde, zbog odrvenelih zidova, pored provodne imaju i mehaničku ulog.

Case Study: Mark Layton, Chief Operating Officer, VideoPlus
/Pearson Partners
/case study
In late 2012, Mark Layton was the CEO of PFSweb, a leading e-commerce company that he had founded. He had been running the company successfully for almost 20 years, and making a career change was the farthest thing from his mind. Circumstances began to change, however, as he was looking at various strategic alternatives for the company and the directions they might take him.
"I realized I should probably start thinking about a potential career change," says Layton. "I had been friends with Stephen Konstans at Pearson Partners for many years, and an occasional source on his search projects. I met with him to talk things through, more as a counselor than anything else. He told me about Pearson Partners' executive coaching services and introduced me to Lisa Thompson, Pearson's director of professional services. Lisa gave me some invaluable advice: It would be good to prepare and lay some groundwork, so if and when the time came, I'd be ready."
Layton hadn't been in the job market in many years, and didn't know a lot about the recruiting world or looking for a job. "Lisa helped me learn how to position myself, work with recruiters and navigate the process," says Layton. "She gave me some great ideas to build relationships in the marketplace. She employed some very astute methods to get me out there and build my brand, without making it obvious I was making a career change. Together, we got things done relatively quickly, after I made the decision that the time was right."
Layton liked Pearson's combination of an analytical approach and a highly personalized engagement. "The metrics-based tools and the quantitative data that I got back showed me where I am, and helped me organize my thoughts as I began to talk to people," he says. "I learned how to highlight my areas of strength, what employers want and how to network. At the same time, it was very personal, with a lot of brainstorming and considerable one-on-one time. I never felt like just a number. The biggest surprise to me, and probably a lot of people out in the job market, was I had thought I would be able to engage a search firm, and the firm would go to work for me and find me a job. It's not like that at all. The amount of work required of a candidate was really surprising to me. Lisa really helped me with that."
Once the job search was under way, Layton was impressed with Pearson's "hands-on" approach, in which senior-level partners are actively involved in every step. "Most other search firms have a big staff that does a lot of legwork for the search partners. You might get an initial meeting with a senior recruiter, but then you get relegated to working with a junior assistant that really isn't well-versed in how things work, nor are they well-networked. With Pearson Partners, I worked with the senior consultants throughout the search engagement, not junior staff members. I wanted to get to work quickly. Pearson focused on that, with no big time delays waiting for things to happen."
Layton was glad that Pearson was there to help him over the many hurdles that are part of any job search process. "I had a lot of eye-opening experiences that the folks at Pearson really helped me rationalize and understand," he says. "They helped me through a lot of the frustration that goes with a job search process. They also helped me hone my networking skills. That was a huge lesson I learned during the process."
Having spent years in a senior role, Layton was accustomed to networking mainly for his job, rather than to benefit his own career. Once he began a job search, he realized that potential employers, recruiters and people who could help him network into his target companies didn't know as much about him as he would have liked. "Pearson Partners introduced me to a huge network, many of whom I'm in regular contact with today," he says. "I spent a lot of time building that network. I'd say that's one of the biggest things I learned. You have to make time for yourself along the way during your career. Your network is one of the most valuable things you can build. Farming and cultivating it needs to be a constant and consistent thing."
During his coaching engagement, Layton met with the search consultants at Pearson Partners, one of whom was working on a search for a chief operating officer for VideoPlus, a media and marketing company. It quickly became evident that Layton was the ideal candidate for the position, and Pearson presented him to its client. After a couple of months of meetings, Layton accepted the position.
"Pearson Partners did a great job with facilitating the negotiation process, bridging gaps and helping both sides of the table understand how we could help each other," Layton says. "They helped the VideoPlus CEO develop the parameters of the COO position, while helping me to understand and communicate how I could contribute to taking the company to the next level with my background in consumer technology. Pearson did a fabulous job in making it a successful search."
Often during the offer phase of a search, the executive search consultant can play a crucial role in negotiations. "There were a few times that the discussions were at the risk of derailing," Layton says. "Pearson was instrumental in helping us both to navigate that sensitive and sometimes difficult process."
Once a job is accepted, one of the most important steps in a successful executive onboarding is to quickly familiarize the incoming executive with his or her new team, their management styles, their areas of expertise and the company culture. For Layton, Pearson Partners' management assessment services were instrumental in helping him get up to speed quickly. "Pearson Partners had done a management assessment project for VideoPlus before I arrived," he says. "Lisa shared that data with me to get to know the team prior to my being hired, and later during my onboarding process. That really helped me to hit the ground running. A lot of my process was therefore confirmation of my team's management styles and personal characteristics, which was much quicker than having to learn from scratch. It shaved months off of the traditional onboarding time for me, and helped me get acclimated and able to lead very quickly."
"Pearson Partners really did a fabulous job," Layton says. "From coaching me, to working with me during the executive search process, to equipping me to take the reins in my new position effectively from day one, it has been a great relationship. I look forward to working with them in the future."

UN calls on Houthis to refrain from closing Sanaa airport to relief flights
The UN called on the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, to refrain from suspending its future humanitarian flights to Sanaa Airport, even if the reasons are technical, warning that this undermines relief operations in the country.
The UN said in a statement to the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, David Grisley, that "after the closure of the de-facto authorities on December 19 of the Sana'a International Airport and air strikes the following night, the United Nations team visited the airport on December 21, and determined that it was still usable in cases of emergency.
"The airport's closure to humanitarian flights severely undermines relief operations, and we are deeply concerned about any further disruptions," he added.
United Nations also called to allow urgent entry of essential equipment into Sanaa airport, which is under Houthi control.
She stressed that "the equipment is necessary to ensure the safe use of humanitarian flights at the airport and the continuation of relief operations in Yemen."
The Houthi militia canceled – earlier – all permits for international flights to Sanaa Airport, to pressure for the opening of flights to navigation.
The UN had announced that the Houthi authorities had effectively prevented humanitarian flights to and from Sanaa airport, a day before the coalition air strikes that targeted Houthi military activities at the site.
In a statement, UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq said that the UN is now exploring alternatives to transport supplies and staff to and from Sanaa.

Anyway i finished Pokemon World RPG: Chronicles theme and i hope that you like it. Thats all for now.
Nice one Myst, Great Job.
New update: The banner was updated due Nakaharus suggestion. Because pokemon VI generation still isn't released, i implemented some other pokemon that i randomly found in gallery.
Banner looks good, but I only got a small glimpse because the school internet stopped loading it. I'll give a better and more accurate opinion when I get home.
[05. April 2013] Spring theme has been set up. Note: Might be replaced or upgraded.
Ooh! Golden Sky likes the Spring Theme!
BEST. THEME. EVER. I wonder if Surskit will be on the next theme.
I like it...It's just the color is just...ow my head, if you get it.
I personally preferred the blue as well.
If we were to have a black and red burning theme, that would be great.
I really dont have time to fix and ground everyones wishes right now, but later i will. Today i found some time and made a new background and logo, later i will finish the theme. Hope you like it.
New banner is much more sprig like!
[18.April 2013] New Theme: Black and White blossoming™ has been installed.
The last spring theme was too bright for those who have weaker sight so i hope this theme will suit them better.


According to internal FDA documents procured through a freedom of information request by The Guardian, traces of a weedkiller known to cause cancer have been found in many types of commonly bought and consumed food. The compound in question is glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in herbicides including Monsanto's Roundup. The emails are from the FDA's first-ever efforts to learn the levels of glyphosate in food being consumed by Americans. However, glyphosate has been in use for over 40 years, and the FDA is supposed to test food for traces of pesticide every year.
A string of January 2017 emails revealed important information about glyphosate levels in food, as evidenced by exchanges between FDA chemists and their colleagues. Chemist Richard Thompson, for example, reported on his findings.
Another FDA chemist Narong Chamkasem also found glyphosate levels that were over the legal limit in corn. The allowable limit is 5.0 parts per million, but the corn they tested had 6.5 ppm. Other samples that had traces of the weedkiller were honey and oatmeal. However, no action was taken, and the Environmental Protection Agency was not notified because the findings by Thompson and Chamkasem aren't considered to be an official sample. Not only that, the FDA shut down further testing by Chamkasem's lab.
Additionally, the FDA is keeping mum about the findings discussed in the obtained emails. An FDA spokesman said that no illegal levels of glyphosate were found in corn, soy, milk, or eggs, even though the procured emails paint a completely different story.
Moreover, glyphosate isn't the only compound that people should be worried about. Herbicide 2.4-D and dicamba are being used on new GMO crops.
An official FDA report for 2016 is expected to be released late 2018 or early 2019. The US Department of Agriculture also announced that they would start testing food for glyphosate starting in 2017, but decided not to follow through.
The effects of glyphosate include increased risk of cancer and shorter pregnancies, reported EcoWatch. A study published in Environmental Health showed that in a study where 93 percent of pregnant women had glyphosate traces in their urine, women with higher levels of glyphosate gave birth earlier than those with lower levels of glyphosate.

Gaan Khaa
The Gaan Khaa script was invented by Jimmy Xavier Kuan, modelled on the Castithan script by David J. Peterson. It is a abugida/alphasyllabary, and can be used to write Orli Khaa, a conlang also invented by Jimmy Xavier Kuan.
Noteable features
Type of writing system: abugida/alphasyllabary
Used to write: Orli Khaa
The pronunciation of consonants is changed either by the vowel, or by a special circular symbol above the consonant, represented by the "-h" after the consonant in the literal transcription (e.g., Mh, Gh, Bh), except for "Rh" which has to be written with an "-h" at all times.
This script's last spelling reform was in the year 700 AD, and is has not changing since, hence the strangeness in orthography for the literal transcription. For example, the literal transcription of the name of the script is Ćyaoiwrhn Ćyaoiwrh, and it is pronounced /kʰaːn kʰaː/
It features "hard" vowels, which are /a/ /ɔ/ /u/ and "soft" vowels, which are /ɛ/ /i/ /ɪ/ /ə/. Depending on the vowel being "soft" or "hard", the consonant will change its pronunciation.

International Refugees: Good for Thee, But Not for Me
September 15, 2016 By Debbie Young
We sure hope Beacon Hill Bostonians are not going to be too upset about the 110,000 international refugees that Secretary of State John Kerry told members of Congress the White House wants to admit. Oh wait … not one of the 110,000 is going to be placed anywhere near Mr. Kerry's Louisburg Square home. Louisburg Square, home to some of the most ornate and stylish properties in the Boston region, is also where the long-time residence is of Secretary of State John Kerry and wife Teresa Heinz Kerry.
So in whose lucky 'hood are the 110,000 going to be placed? Assuredly not in Louisburg Square, or Chappaqua, New York, or even a Trump Tower. And it's highly unlikely they'll end up residing anywhere near the eventual residence of our first likely ex-presidential billionaire after he exits the White House.
As Peggy Noonan noted several weeks ago in the WSJ, the top seems to be detaching from the bottom; our leaders are detaching from the led. "It is not only a detachment from, but a lack of interest in, the lives of your countrymen, of those who are not at the table, and who understand that they've been abandoned by their leaders' selfishness and mad virtue-signalling."

House Storytelling 2020
Our annual House Storytelling event was a huge success this year, with Demeter taking home the trophy with their performance of 'The Nutcracker'
On Thursday 17 December, it was fantastic to celebrate the end of the autumn term with one of our favourite events in the school calender; House Storytelling.
In time-honoured fashion, each of the 4 houses, Artemis, Demeter, Hestia and Selene, spend time learning and rehearsing a piece to showcase to the peers, with the aim of spreading festive cheer in the hopes of taking home the trophy!
Students are involved in all aspects of production, from choreography to set design, sound and lighting and a whole lot more, and this year's competition will live long in the memory. We were treated to performances of 'The Grinch who stole Christmas' by Hestia, 'The Jolly Christmas Postman' by Artemis, 'The Nutcracker' by Demeter, and 'The Elves' by Selene, all of which were superb, with a judging panel consisting of Miss Buxton, Mr Laubscher and Mr Viesel commenting that the competition was one of the best in recent memory. There could, however, be just one winner, and after much deliberation the panel awarded the victory to Demeter.
Congratulations to Demeter but also to all of the students involved in making this year's House Storytelling one that will not be forgotten. A fantastic afternoon of entertainment filled with fun and laughter, and you can view photos from the event by clicking here

Q: complex json file to csv in python I need to convert a complex json file to csv using python, I tried a lot of codes without success, I came here for help,I updated the question, the JSON file is about a million,I need to convert them to csv format
csv file
{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "2e3230"
    },
    "add": {
        "address1": {

        }
    }
}
{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "2d118c8bo"
    },
    "add": {
        "address1": {

        }
    }
}

A: import pandas as pd

null = 'null'

data = {
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "2e3230s314i5dc07e118c8bo"
    },
    "add": {
        "address": {
            "address_type": "Door",
            "address": "kvartira 14",
            "city": "new york",
            "region": null,
            "zipcode": "10005",
        },
        "name": "Evgeniya Kovantceva",

            "country": "US",
            "country_name": "NY",
        }
    }
}

df = pd.json_normalize(data)
df.to_csv('yourpath.csv')

Beware the null value. The "address" nested dictionary comes inside "add" two times almost identical?
EDIT
Ok after your information it looks like json.JSONDecoder() is what you need.
Originally posted by @pschill on this link:
how to analyze json objects that are NOT separated by comma (preferably in Python)
I tried his code on your data:
import json
import pandas as pd

data = """{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "2e3230"
    },
    "add": {

        }
    }

    },
    "add": {
        "address1": {

        },
        "name": "Eiya tceva",
        "address2": {
            "country": "US",
            "country_name": "TX"
        }
    }
}"""

Keep in mind that your data also has trailing commas which makes the data unreadable (the last commas right before every closing bracket).
You have to remove them with some regex or another approach I am not familiar with. For the purpose of this answer I removed them manually.
So after that I tried this:
content = data
parsed_values = []
decoder = json.JSONDecoder()
while content:
    value, new_start = decoder.raw_decode(content)
    content = content[new_start:].strip()
    # You can handle the value directly in this loop:
    # print("Parsed:", value)
    # Or you can store it in a container and use it later:
    parsed_values.append(value)

which gave me an error but the list seems to get populated with all the values:
parsed_values
[{'_id': {'$oid': '2e3230'},
  'add': {'address1': {'address': 'kvartira 14', 'zipcode': '10005'},
   'name': 'Evgiya Kovava',
   'address2': {'country': 'US', 'country_name': 'NY'}}},
 {'_id': {'$oid': '2d118c8bo'},
  'add': {'address1': {'address': 'kvartira 14', 'zipcode': '52805'},
   'name': 'Eiya tceva',
   'address2': {'country': 'US', 'country_name': 'TX'}}}]

next I did:
df = pd.json_normalize(parsed_values)

which worked fine.
You can always save that to a csv with:
df.to_csv('yourpath.csv')

Tell me if that helped.
Your json is quite problematic after all. Duplicate keys (problem), null value (unreadable), trailing commas (unreadable), not comma separated dicts... It didn't catch the eye at first :P

Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 23 août 2018
The Sheffield-based label Another Timbre specialises in experimental music, from the postwar US generation of John Cage and Morton Feldman to the present day. Lately, it has made a special feature of Canadian composers, and among its latest releases are two discs devoted to the music of Cassandra Miller, who grew up in British Columbia and is now based in London. Her teachers have included Michael Finnissy and Richard Ayres, but, as the eight pieces on these recordings show, her music is hard to categorise, its starting points unpredictable and wide-ranging.
In Quatuor Bozzini's survey of Miller's quartet pieces, the four movements of Warblework are based on the songs of four north American thrushes, while About Bach, as its name signals, is a homage, with a solo violin spiralling high above fragments of chorales derived from the famous D Minor Chaconne. In Philip the Wanderer, composed for the indefatigable pianist Philip Thomas, the source is a recording of a Mozambican musician, while the solo-violin For Mira is based on a computer transcription of Kurt Cobain singing Where Did You Sleep Last Night. In every one of these pieces, though, Miller's response is totally her own. The music never seems second-hand or derivative in any way.
Perhaps the most striking of all is Duet for Cello and Orchestra, from 2015. It began, Miller says, as a homage to the composer Vincenzo Bellini, and also makes extensive use of an Italian folk song. But the solo cello (played with wonderful restraint by Charles Curtis in this performance with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ilan Volkov) is mostly limited to a scarcely changing sequence of alternating fifths, while the orchestra has a frieze-like succession of increasingly dense flourishes above it. The soloist only breaks free in the final moments for a brief cadenza in harmonics, which seems to belong to another musical world altogether. It's a strange but profoundly haunting piece.
Another Timbre launched its Canadian series last year with Drifter, a two-disc collection of pieces by Linda Catlin Smith, New York-born but now based in Toronto. The most recent batch of releases includes another album of her quietly unassuming and entrancingly beautiful Feldman-esque music.
On Smith's Wanderer, there are eight works played by members of Apartment House, each of them using a single musical idea to devastating effect — shared melodic lines in the ensemble pieces Knotted Silk and Stare at the River, gradations of touch in Velvet, for two pianos — and all totally beguiling.
Cassandra Miller: Just So; O Zomer! CD review — profoundly haunting — 4 stars

Q: how to add my app name in Contacts in swift i have a question.
https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/add-and-use-contact-information-iph3e0ca2db/ios

when i touch and hold the button, i want to show my app name in popup list.
how can i add my app to that list?
(callkit?, voip?)


The line of thought behind the starter being a cross between Welsh rarebit & Scotch egg – a little crispy fried ball of moist rarebity natural smoked haddock from Robsons of Craster in Northumberland (famous for their kippers). When cut into a perfect quails egg, runny yolk. Vivid, vibrant watercress coulis/paste – an explosion of fiery watercress on the tongue, The cress came from Ewelme near the Crooked Billet. I used beer in the egg wash.
Blitz 320g haddock until it becomes a puree. Add 100ml cream & blitz until smooth. Set aside & refrigerate.
Place the mustard seeds into a small saucepan & cover with water. Add a dash of white wine vinegar for acidity & bring to the boil. Cool & set aside.
Trim, wash & finely slice the spring onion. Peel, deseed & dice the tomato & set aside.
Dice the remaining haddock into ½cm cubes & set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, place the blended & diced smoked haddock, sliced spring onions, diced tomatoes, grated cheddar, English mustard & the drained mustard seeds. Mix together well & adjust seasoning. Add more English mustard if required. Divide the mixture into 12 portions.
Trim off the large stems. Cook in boiling salted water for approximately 1-2 minutes or until tender. Refresh in iced water. Drain & blitz until fine. To serve, whisk in some Dijon mustard & season to taste.
Mix the water & vinegar together. Cut off the "fat" end of the egg with a sharp knife & pour the egg into water/vinegar liquid. You will see the white start to pull itself around the yolk. Leave for 10 minutes.
Put a small pan of water onto the stove & bring to the boil. Drain the eggs & poach for approximately 1 – 1½ minutes. Refresh in iced water & drain.
Lay out a piece of cling film, 30cm x 30cm & place a portion of the haddock mixture in the centre. Flatten this to the thickness of ½cm into a circle shape.
Place a quail's egg in the centre. Pull the corners of the cling film up together, encasing the quail's egg in mixture. Twist the ends of the cling film to form a tight ball. Refrigerate.
Place the flour into a tray. Beat the eggs with the beer & place into a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate tray. Unwrap the fishcake & roll in the flour, then in the egg/beer mix then in the breadcrumbs. Redip in the egg/beer mix & again into the breadcrumbs.
Deep-fry the fishcake at 180°C for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
I serve my haddock fishcakes with watercress coulis.
Open all day every day - 12 until late.
Food orders from 12 – 2:30pm and 6.30pm onwards Monday – Friday.
Cooking all day Saturday and Sunday.

Q: Действие через кнопку при условии Вкратце, мне нужно сделать так, чтоб при нажатии на кнопку удался объект к которому прикоснулся игрок (по коллизии грубо говоря), сама соль в том, что я не могу понять одну вещь.
Как мне сделать так, чтоб кнопка "понимала" что коллизия есть, и можно удалить обьект (обьектов много и они все рандомно спавнятся, через префаб тут не вариант)?
проще говоря, по сцене куча обьектов что заспавнились рандомно, и вот когда игрок получается касается коллизией одного из них (любого абсолютно) , мне по нажатию кнопки на экране нужно удалить именно этот объект (сенсорное управление).
Да, я знаю что весьма запутано, но я уже парюсь второй день с этим, а все понять не могу, много как пробовал уже, искал что-то похожее, но все ничего.
Я просто не могу понять, как такое провернуть, но уверен что возможно.
Костыли Велосипеды, никак иначе.

A: Я не уверен будет ли при таче именно колизия, но если єто и вправду коллизия а не какой-то другой метод, то приблизительно как-то так:
OnCollisionEnter(Collision col) {
    Destroy(this);
}

код не проверял.
если же не существует отдельного ивента вроде коллизии который отвечает за тач, то будет что-то вроде:
void Update () {
    RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit();
    for (int i = 0; i < Input.touchCount; ++i) {
        if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase.Equals(TouchPhase.Began)) {

        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.GetTouch(i).position);
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) {
            Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
          }
       }
   }
}

I love the look of cross stitch on black fabric - the vibrancy of the colors and the way designs pop on a dark background. But stitching on black or dark-colored Aida or linen can be a challenge. Here are some tips to make it easier.
It can also be helpful to have light from below to illuminate the holes. During the day, light from a window can work. At night try a desk lamp or other small lamp placed on the floor. Don't shine it directly up into your eyes, but instead go for indirect light.
It's amazing what a big difference using a white background can make. Next to good lighting, this is the single most important thing to do when cross stitching on black.
I don't always use a hoop or frame when I cross stitch, but I do when stitching on black. It is much easier to see the holes when the fabric is taut.
Put your fabric in a hoop or frame (I like Q-snap frames), and pull the edges of the fabric gently unit it is tight. Just be sure you don't pull so tight that you distort the weave of the fabric.
It is much easier to see the holes on black Aida than it is on black linen. If this is your first time cross stitching on dark fabric, consider starting with Aida until you get the hang of it. Choosing lower stitch count fabric, like 14 count, will also help.
Your needle can help you more easily find the holes in the fabric. If you slowly and lightly drag the tip of your needle over the fabric, it will dip where there are holes. Do this before you take a stitch and you are more likely to find the hole instead of piercing the fabric fibers. This takes a little practice, but eventually you get the feel of it.
Cross stitching on dark fabric can be tough on your eyes. To avoid strain, take frequent breaks. You might want to have a second project (or third or fourth) on lighter fabric that you are working at the same time so you can switch back and forth. Plan on a project stitched on dark fabric to take longer than one stitched on light fabric.
This is an easy one! There are so many fabulous patterns that feature black or dark fabric. Here are some of our favorites.

Can you please provide methe name of this pattern? Or a book that has it? Many thanks for doing so.
