In a nutshell: Prospective cohort study measured the impact of falls reduction following the implementation of evidence-based fall prevention interventions in 9 Australian residential care facilities. Following the intervention a significant reduction of falls were observed per site in the proportion of fallers and single fallers. However, overall the number of falls was confounded by multiple falls in residents. Reduction in fallers was sustained in the 6-month follow-up phase. Positive outcomes from interventions varied between facilities.
In a nutshell: Systematic review to find evidence on the effects of regular Tai Chi on falls reduction. Considers factors such as who would receive the most benefit, appropriate styles, minimum amount of Tai Chi exercise required before its positive effect is observed and the effect of Tai Chi compared to other physical exercises.
In a nutshell: This paper draws upon UK best practice to discuss the strategic direction of falls prevention programmes for older people and the partnerships that need to exist between researchers, service providers and users of services to translate evidence to the clinical setting. It also proposes mechanisms for disseminating evidence to healthcare professionals and other stakeholders, to improve the quality and capacity of the clinical workforce.
In a nutshell: Review assessed the effectiveness and characteristics of fall prevention interventions implemented in hospitals. A multi-systemic fall prevention model that establishes a practical framework was developed from the evidence which recommends how hospitals prevent falls and fall-related injuries, more effectively address the various risk factors for falling, and therefore prevent falls.
In a nutshell: Project to reduce the number of patient falls and their consequences is described. A hospital and community services collaborated to identify and assess patients at risk of falling and an intervention, involving visits by the public health nurse and occupational therapist, was implemented. Improvements in outcomes were measured. Members of the project team make recommendations for health-care professionals interested in initiating similar projects.
In a nutshell: This case study describes how a trust is aiming to prevent inpatient falls by developing a stepwise approach underpinned by information from national sources. It is calculated that in an average 800-bed acute hospital trust there will be about 24 falls every week and 1260 falls every year, which represents the highest volume of patient safety incidents reported in hospital trusts in England.
In a nutshell: A service in Nottingham aims to improve services and reduce mortality and risk of falls in older people by integration of services and partnership with providers to identify and target falls risk factors.
In a nutshell: Data were collected from older glaucoma suffering adults in the community on rates of falls and injuries. Visual impairment was positively linked to increased falls, particularly in the inferior visual field region.


The transportation and pouring of concrete can be a delicate matter. Concrete can be finicky and conditions should be optimal. If not, wastage can occur, costing much time and money. Three top considerations when transporting and pouring concrete are: segregation; postponement of the pour; and, wastage due to poor planning and organization.
Segregation. This is a characteristic of concrete that occurs when the actual cement constituents become separated. Instead of forming a coagulated mix, the aggregate and cement don't gel. The problem with segregation is that it severely weakens the concrete, making it less hard-wearing. In order to prevent segregation, ensure that the mix doesn't have too much or too little water in it. Segregation can also signal that the constituents in the concrete weren't properly combined in the first place. The guidelines suggest that concrete should be poured at a vertical angle from the concrete pump truck.
Postponement. When transporting and pouring concrete, one of the main problems is that of having to postpone it. If concrete has to sit around prior to use, it can dry out. This will make it rigid and difficult to pour. Having to postpone the pour is even worse when the weather is hot or there's a strong wind. It's highly recommended that if pouring is delayed, add cement paste to the mix, not just water.
Waste. One of the fundamental principles of construction, of course, is to not waste materials. This also applies to concrete. The best way to avoid this is to pre-plan and organize the transportation and pour to the very last detail.
Concrete can be a difficult substance to work with. In order to have an incident-free project, there are a number of factors that you should look out for and consider. Whether it's the purchase of a concrete pump truck; repair and remount pump trucks; or, just some general advice and information, Cole and Lambert offer it.
Yo, that's what's up truftuhlly.

Le , lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, les Italiens ouvrent la première des douze batailles de l'Isonzo face à l'Autriche-Hongrie. Pour l'Italie l'objectif est la conquête de la ville de Trieste, principal port autrichien sur la mer Adriatique. Les Autrichiens peuvent compter sur une meilleure qualité d'armement, notamment sur des pièces d'artillerie plus puissantes, mais ils sont en infériorité numérique par rapport aux Italiens. Cependant la guerre de montagne donne un grand avantage aux défenseurs par rapport aux assaillants. Ceci explique l'attitude passive de l'armée austro-hongroise qui, jusqu'en 1917, se contente de défendre ses positions, sans mener d'attaques d'envergure.

Le déroulement de la bataille

Les , au départ environ deux fois plus nombreux en hommes et en pièces d'artillerie que les Austro-Hongrois, gagnent du terrain lors de la première phase de la bataille. Cependant leur principale offensive, qui débute le , se solde par un échec. En effet, les forces italiennes, qui attaquent sur un front de , n'arrivent à prendre position qu'à un seul endroit sur la rive gauche de l'Isonzo.

Une nouvelle attaque le  donne peu de résultats. Les armées italiennes, la  sous les ordres du général Pietro Frugoni et la  du duc d'Aoste, prennent la tête de l'offensive.

La  armée italienne a pour objectif de rompre le front entre Monfalcone et Sagrado vers le haut plateau de Doberdò pendant que la  armée avancerait entre  et . Le but était de conquérir la tête de pont de Gorizia, de traverser l'Isonzo, de s'emparer des montagnes Kuk et Priznica et de mener également une attaque contre la tête de pont de Tolmin. Malgré sa supériorité numérique, l'armée italienne ne put atteindre aucun de ses buts. À Sagrado seulement elle réussit à pousser jusqu'au haut plateau de Doberdò en avançant de moins de .

Les Italiens essuient de lourdes pertes : , dont  pour la seule bataille de Gorizia. Les pertes austro-hongroises s'élèvent à .

Le  sonne la fin de la première bataille de l'Isonzo.

Conséquences
Parmi les conséquences de la bataille se trouve la déportation par les troupes austro-hongroises d'une grande partie des populations italiennes des villes de Monfalcone et Sagrado vers des camps d'internement situés plus au nord en particulier dans la ville de Wagna.

Q: Reading integer into int and string into string with standard input c++ #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(){
  while (true){
  int n;
  string a;
  cin >> n;
  if (cin.eof())
    {break;}
  if (!cin) {
    cin.clear();
    cin >> a;
    cout << a;
  }
  cout << n;
  }
}

When i input 1 2 +. The output would be 12. but I want it to be 12+. Whats wrong with this code?
it works if i input 1 2 a 5 b 7 but for some reason it doesnt work for +.

A: What is happening is that cin >> n is consuming the +, because that could be part of a valid integer (e.g. +5); but then the integer input fails because it wasn't followed by a digit.
With stream input it cannot "look ahead", it has to make a decision on a character by character basis. This is why strtol, or std::stoi etc. are more reliable than reading an int via operator>>.
The C++14 text [facet.num.get.virtuals]/3 stage 2 specifies that the + should be consumed by the invalid read; however library implementations often don't exactly follow the standard with respect to reading numbers via operator>> because the standard is defective and changes a lot.  So you may or may not find other compilers behaving differently.
To avoid this situation entirely I'd suggest taking a different approach; e.g. reading a string every time, and then making other checks such as std::stoi or otherwise to see if that string was an integer.

A: The plus sign can be parsed via char.
  char ch;
  cin >> ch;

and you will get the +-sign parsed.
Finally, you want probably get:
int a, b
char op;

cin >> a >> b >> op;

Afterwards you can reorder your output arbitrarily. E.g, std::cout << op << " " << a << " "  << b

A: change line 7 from
int n;

to
char n;

would solve the problem

Arlington, VA -The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), the trucking industry's not-for-profit research organization, today announced its involvement in a new trucking industry initiative to help professional drivers find available truck parking.
Beginning in late summer, truck drivers who need to stop, parkand rest will be able to use a free mobile app called Park My Truck to locate important truck parking information and find available spaces. The app is being developed by the Truck Parking Leadership Initiative, of which ATRI is a key member along with the NATSO Foundation, and the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
The Truck Parking Leadership Initiative was developed based on feedback from professional drivers, motor carriers and truck stop operators who are intimately familiar with truck parking availability as a critical need. Park My Truck allows any parking provider - whether public or private - to report their parking availability for free through this app; it doesn't require any special technology except internet access.
"Federal and state governments have spent decades and millions of dollars researching truck parking issues, and testing technology-based approaches to counting available spaces, but not one of these efforts has yielded nationwide data about parking availability," said Lisa Mullings, the president of NATSO and the NATSO Foundation. "We are still many millions of dollars and years away from implementing an electronic system that can count parking nationwide. The problem is that drivers need information now. We don't want to allow our pursuit of a perfect solution to prevent us from implementing a good solution today."
The groups encouraged all parking providers - including truck stops and travel centers, state DOT rest areas and others - to participate in the initiative by providing information and reporting the number of spaces available in their lots.
"Access to safe truck parking is a critical issue for the trucking industry," said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. "It is important for America's professional drivers to have access to safe parking so they can get their required off-duty rest. Efforts like this to inform drivers about the availability of parking spaces can only help drivers as they deliver our nation's economy and move us forward. We look forward to working with truck parking providers - both public and private - to ensure that all drivers have access to this important information."
Truck parking operators, including private companies and state or other administrators of highway rest areas, will need only to have internet access and the ability to count available spaces, whether by observation or by electronic means. Truck parking providers can contact the NATSO Foundation at (703) 549-2100 or hello@parkmytruck.com to establish an account to provide truck parking availability.
In a related initiative, ATRI continues to collect detailed truck parking diaries from hundreds of drivers who are tracking 14 days of their truck parking challenges. The analysis of the truck parking diary information will continue through June and ATRI hopes to release its report on the truck parking diaries in August.

Dr. Kevin Drumm
Dr. Kevin Drumm's Biography
Dr. Kevin E. Drumm became the seventh president of SUNY Broome Community College in February 2010. In the past several years, he has overseen a dramatic transformation of SUNY Broome's campus:
The $21 million Natural Science Center opened in Fall 2013, bringing the first new classrooms to the campus in 15 years. This state-of-the-art, energy-efficient building houses the biology, chemistry and physical science departments.
Opened in Fall 2014, the new Student Village gave SUNY Broome students the opportunity for on-campus living for the very first time. The $18 million complex houses up to 360 students and a full-time director at the front of campus.
Built in 1956, the Darwin R. Wales Center completed a much-needed $4.6 million overhaul in June 2014. The space, considered the college's welcome center, is now fully handicapped-accessible for the first time, as well as energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
In 2018, the college reopened its now former Mechanical Building, renovating it into a state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing Center thanks to the largest single private gift of $11 million to any SUNY Community College.
Also completed in 2020 was the transformation of downtown Binghamton's historic Carnegie Library into the SUNY Broome Culinary and Event Center, for training students in the culinary and hospitality industry.
Other core campus buildings are also due for an overhaul. A $19.5 million program, dubbed Critical Core Building Rehabilitation, will transform the remaining 2 original core buildings into modern facilities.
Dr. Drumm counts the modernization and upgrading of SUNY Broome's infrastructure as one of his proudest achievements. In addition, he has made outreach both to local high schools and to the community a campus-wide priority. This effort has resulted in SUNY Broome having a greater presence in the area by quadrupling the number of high school partners in the region, along with new partnerships with neighboring Binghamton University. The momentum of outreach continues by forming partnerships with many other colleges and universities as well including SUNY Cortland, Empire State College and the University of Limerick in Ireland, just to name a few.
Dr. Drumm also serves on many local boards including the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce and he is Co-Chair of the Governor's Southern Tier Economic Development Council.
Before coming to SUNY Broome, Dr. Drumm was president of the Northern Wyoming Community College District from 2004-2010. During his tenure at NWCCD, it grew to enroll more than 5,500 students annually and also grew its operating budget from $24 to $35 million with 230 full-time staff and faculty. The District added more than 150,000 square feet of new facilities and raised more than $100 million in public and private funding.
Prior to becoming president of NWCCD, Dr. Drumm was Vice President for Enrollment/Student & Public Affairs at Springfield Technical Community College in Springfield, MA.
Dr. Drumm's career also includes working in a variety of student services and academic affairs positions at community colleges, universities and private colleges, ranging from Student Life Director and Assistant Academic Dean to Vice President for Student Affairs at a New Hampshire community college.
He has taught throughout his career and is also a graduate of the first American Association of Community Colleges' Leadership Institute. He was educated at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA, transferring to Boston University for both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees, later completing his Ph.D. in Organizational Studies and Higher Education at New York University.
Dr. Drumm, his wife Bonnie, and their son Cameron enjoy snowmobiling, traveling, and spending time with their extended family in the Berkshires and southern Maine. Both Cameron and Bonnie attended SUNY Broome.

Tayfur Sökmen (* 1892 in Gaziantep; † 3. März 1980 in İstanbul) war ein türkischer Politiker und der erste und einzige Präsident des 1938 und 1939 bestehenden Staates Hatay.

Leben

Sökmen absolvierte die Grundschule in Kırıkhan, danach bekam er Privatunterricht. Während des Ersten Weltkrieges war Sökmen im osmanischen Geheimdienst (Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa) tätig. Nach dem Krieg beteiligte er sich am Türkischen Befreiungskrieg gegen die französische Besatzung im Sandschak Alexandrette.

Während der Jahre 1924 bis 1926 hielt sich Sökmen in Wien auf. 1927 lebte er für kurze Zeit wieder im Sandschak Alexandrette, wo er aber dem Druck der französischen Besatzungsmacht ausgesetzt war. Deshalb lebte er zuerst in Gaziantep, Adana und zuletzt in İstanbul.

1935 wurde er als unabhängiger Abgeordneter für die Provinz Antalya in die Große Nationalversammlung der Türkei gewählt. Am 2. September 1938 wurde der Staat Hatay ausgerufen und Tayfur Sökmen wurde Präsident. Nachdem am 29. Juni 1939 sich Hatay an die Türkei anschloss, endete seine kurze Präsidentschaft. Bis 1950 war Sökmen Abgeordneter für die Provinz Antalya und von 1950 bis 1954 für die Provinz Hatay. Nach 1975 zog er sich aus der Politik zurück und starb am 3. März 1980 in İstanbul.

Water Quality After Wildfire
Wildfires and Water
USGS role in wildfire response and recovery
Wildfire Effects on Source-Water Quality
Lessons learned and implications for drinking-water treatment
Wildfires are devastating and can lead to long-term changes to the landscape. With a significant amount of our Nation's drinking water sources originating in forested watersheds, evaluating the effect fires have on water quality is incredibly important. The USGS works with other federal and state land managers to assess water-quality after wildfires in order to help protect one of our most valuable resources.
Relatively new research has been aimed at the impacts of wildfires on the quality of drinking water and on water-dependent natural resources. In the last several decades, both the incidence of large wildfires and the duration of the wildfire season across much of the United States have increased. Approximately 80 percent of the U.S.'s freshwater resource originates on forested land, and more than 3,400 communities rely on public drinking-water systems located in watersheds on forest lands. Thus, the potential impacts from wildfire occurrence on the quantity and quality of runoff used for source water and to support fisheries and aquatic habitats are considerable. For example, water providers spent more than $26 million on water-quality treatment, sediment and debris removal, and related issues after two recent wildfires in Colorado.1
Pre- and post-fire measurements of fire effects help ecologists, fire scientists, and managers determine how the severity of wildfires affects plants, animal habitat, and ecosystem services. (Credit: Rachel Loehman)
Wildfire affects many facets of the source-water delivery system, ranging from immediate effects during a fire to long-term alteration of watersheds. During a fire, interruption of electrical power and access to water treatment plants, ambient water-quality monitoring equipment, and stream diversion and monitoring locations are common. Because existing water quality cannot be adequately determined, source-water suppliers are often forced to shift to stored water or other secondary water supplies. These sources tend to be of lower quality, which can necessitate increased pre-treatment actions and processes at considerable additional cost. Runoff from burned areas contains ash, which may have significant effects on the chemistry of receiving waters such as lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, rivers and. Runoff from burned areas also produces higher nitrate, organic carbon, and sediment levels, warmer temperatures, and flashier streamflows.
IMPLICATIONS FOR DRINKING-WATER TREATMENT
Drinking-water utilities strive to provide safe drinking water for their communities. Unfortunately, the unpredictable nature of wildfire makes it challenging to develop treatment-plant-specific strategies for treating source water degraded by the effects of wildfire. High-intensity rainfall events in steep, burned watersheds are likely to move large amounts of suspended and dissolved material into downstream water supplies. Potential effects of wildfire on municipal water supplies and downstream aquatic ecosystems include the following:
Changes in the magnitude and timing of snowmelt runoff, which influence filling of water-supply reservoirs
Increased sediment loading of water-supply reservoirs, shortened reservoir lifetime, and increased maintenance costs
Increased loading of streams with nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, major ions, and metals
Post-fire erosion and transport of sediment and debris to downstream water-treatment plants, water-supply reservoirs, and aquatic ecosystems
Increased turbidity (cloudiness caused by suspended material), or heightened iron and manganese concentrations, which may increase chemical treatment requirements and produce larger volumes of sludge, both of which would raise operating costs
Changes in source-water chemistry that can alter drinking-water treatment
A FUTURE OF CLIMATE EXTREMES
Wildfires are some of the world's most deadly and expensive hazards. These events are incredibly distructive and are predicted to become bigger and more common in the future as extreme climate events become more frequent. Despite their critical importance, wildfires and their impacts on watersheds are challenging to study due to their unpredictability, the extensive damage they cause, and a lack of pre-existing information to which the response can be compared. What is know about them is they alter the surface soils, decrease infiltration during thunderstorms, and accelerate the movement of water, sediment, and debris from the landscape to nearby streams. This has a definitive impact on downstream water quality.
RELATED USGS RESEARCH
The USGS monitors water-quality and sediment characteristics in rivers and reservoirs affected by fires. These data helps scientists and water managers evaluate the cumulative effects of fire, and potential water-quality impacts on drinking-water supplies. Years after a wildfire, high-intensity storms can affect water quality. Monitoring source water downstream of burned watersheds allows water managers to minimize adverse effects on drinking-water quality, such as by temporarily diverting compromised water or changing source water.

Connections between Forested and Urban Landscapes and Implications for Water Supply
Interactions between forested and urban landscapes can lead to reciprocal effects that have substantial impacts on water supply and ecology. Air pollution from urban and forested landscapes can be deposited on adjacent forests, while forest disturbance, such as wildfires and floods, can remobilize those contaminants. Additionally, pollutants from legacy land use (e.g., mining) can also be...

Economics of Wildland Fire
In recent decades, wildfires have increased in size and intensity, and the fire season has lengthened. This and other factors have increased wildfire suppression costs and risks to human health and safety. SEA economists investigate numerous aspects of wildland fire, its impacts, and how to mitigate the risk wildfire poses to people, resources, and property.

Wildfire is a natural process in forest ecosystems, and occurs with varying frequencies and severities depending on landscape characteristics, climatic conditions, and the historical fire regime.

Fire, flood, and drought: Extreme climate events alter flow paths and stream chemistry
Extreme climate events—such as hurricanes, droughts, extreme precipitation, and wildfires—have the potential to alter watershed processes and stream response. Yet due to the destructive and hazardous nature and unpredictability of such events, capturing their hydrochemical signal is challenging. A 5‐year postwildfire study of stream chemistry in...

Rheinmetall announced 1 March that the company has submitted a bid in response to the Australian Army's Land 400 Phase 3 – Mounted Close Combat Capability Request For Tender (RFT).
Under the tender, Rheinmetall is offering the Australian Army the Lynx Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) with the Lance turret, Lynx Manouevre Support Vehicle (MSV), an established and growing network of suppliers across Australia, continued use of the Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence in Queensland, and a comprehensive support and training system.
The Lynx IFV and the Lynx MSV have been designed and tested to meet the demanding requirements of the Australian Army, NATO and NATO allies. Lynx establishes a vehicle system with unmatched levels of survivability, mobility, lethality, knowledge, and growth that will excel in close combat operations.
Rheinmetall Defence Australia's Managing Director, Gary Stewart said, "the Australian Army will benefit from the Lynx IFV that will be designed, built and supported from the MILVEHCOE, with an expanded Australia-wide military vehicle industrial network. This national approach will directly reduce the total cost of ownership for Defence, create long term highly skilled regional jobs, and deliver enduring economic benefit through a strong sovereign military vehicle industry."
Rheinmetall's Global Head of Vehicle Systems, Ben Hudson said, "the significant protected volume within the Lynx vehicle is unmatched in this class, and ensures the three crew and a minimum of six dismounts can conduct effective close combat operations while providing unrivalled growth and flexibility for the future.

Train reliability dips sharply in northern England despite reduced service
Gwyn Topham Transport correspondent
Photograph: Christopher Thomond/The Guardian
Cancellations and punctuality for train companies operating in northern England including Avanti West Coast worsened sharply this summer, despite them scheduling far fewer train services, statistics from the rail regulator reveal.
A review of passenger train operators' performance by the Office of Rail and Road showed that TransPennine Express and Northern both culled more than 15% of their timetable from the previous summer, far more than any other operators in the UK.
Meanwhile Avanti, which connects the capital with large cities in the West Midlands, north-west England and Scotland, planned 8% fewer trains and then cancelled 12% of services on the day, and more than 60% of its surviving trains failed to arrive on time.
The ORR admitted that even these statistics probably underplay the chaos in the north, because trains cancelled before 10pm the night before – "ghost" services that are then not listed on departure boards – are not counted as official cancellations. That also means trains lost to strikes are not counted as cancelled.
The regulator said it was working with the rail industry to beef up the reporting and "understand more accurately what passengers are experiencing on the network".
Even without recording the trains lost to strikes or ghost cancellations, the ORR passenger rail performance report paints a damning picture of a growing north-south divide in train services.
Avanti outstripped all others for cancellations in the July-September period, declining fastest over the year to 12.2%, with TransPennine Express, LNER and CrossCountry behind them in the rate of declining reliability.
The First Group/Trenitalia-owned intercity operator also had the worst punctuality score, of just 38.8% of trains arriving on time.
The ORR report echoes recent Guardian analysis that shows the north bearing the brunt of rail's problems, in a year of record cancellations across the network. More than 314,000 trains were fully or partly cancelled across Great Britain in the last year to 15 October.
The last quarter, the ORR, said was the worst for cancellations since its records began in 2014 – and those cancellations excluded six strike days when 80% of services did not run.
Avanti is planning to add significantly more services to its timetable from this weekend, with TransPennine Express and Northern also bringing back services and changing schedules, although northern leaders have expressed doubt that they can deliver.
The timetable will however be upended almost immediately by industrial action, and engineering work over Christmas. More strikes will bring most of the railway to a halt next week, with members of the RMT union at Network Rail and 14 train operating companies due to walk out on 13-14 and 16-17 December in the long-running dispute over pay and jobs. After trains are reduced for Christmas and New Year's day and engineering, strikes will recommence in January.

Japan PM Kishida says return to deflation can't be ruled out
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Friday the economy's retreat to deflation cannot be ruled out because domestic demand-driven inflation remains feeble. "Inflationary pressure based on domestic demand is not strong yet, as current consumer price increases are brought by global raw material inflation and a weak yen," Kishida told an upper house parliament session. Asked by an opposition lawmaker if the Japanese economy has fully exited from the deflationary situation, Kishida said: "the state of non-deflation is going on at the moment, but it has not reached a stage where we can judge that the return (to deflation) is unlikely."

In the context of an investigation into the robbery of a wallet and mobile telephone, Spanish police requested the investigating magistrate in charge of the case to grant them access to data identifying the users of telephone numbers activated with the stolen telephone during a period of 12 days as from the date of the robbery. The investigating magistrate rejected the request on the ground, inter alia, that the acts giving rise to the criminal investigation did not constitute a 'serious' offence — that is, an offence punishable under Spanish law by a term of imprisonment of more than five years –, access to identification data being possible only in respect of that category of offences. The Ministerio Fiscal (Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office) appealed against that decision before the Audiencia Provincial de Tarragona (Provincial Court, Tarragona, Spain).
The directive on privacy and electronic communications provides that Member States may restrict citizens' rights when such a restriction constitutes a necessary, appropriate and proportionate measure within a democratic society in order to safeguard national security, defence, public security, and the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of unauthorised use of the electronic communication system.
The Audiencia Provincial de Tarragona states that, following the adoption of the investigating magistrate's decision, the Spanish legislature introduced two alternative criteria for determining the degree of seriousness of an offence in respect of which the retention and communication of personal data are permitted. The first is a substantive criterion, relating to specific and serious criminal offences that are particularly harmful to individual and collective legal interests. The second is a formal normative criterion setting a threshold of three years' imprisonment which covers the great majority of offences. In addition, the Spanish court takes the view that the State's interest in repressing criminal conduct cannot justify disproportionate interferences with the fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ('the Charter'). The Audiencia Provincial de Tarragona therefore seeks guidance from the Court of Justice on fixing the threshold of seriousness of offences above which an interference with fundamental rights, such as competent national authorities' access to personal data retained by providers of electronic communications services, may be justified.
In today's judgment, the Court recalls that national authorities' access, in connection with a criminal investigation, to personal data retained by providers of electronic communications services comes within the scope of the directive. In addition, access to data for the purpose of identifying the owners of SIM cards activated with a stolen mobile telephone, such as their surnames, forenames and, if need be, addresses, constitutes an interference with their fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter. Nevertheless, the Court rules that that interference is not sufficiently serious to entail access being restricted, in the area of prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences, to the objective of fighting serious crime.
The Court indicates that national authorities' access to personal data retained by providers of electronic communications services constitutes an interference with the fundamental rights of respect for private life and protection of data enshrined in the Charter, even in the absence of circumstances which would allow that interference to be defined as 'serious', without it being relevant that the information in question relating to private life is sensitive or whether the persons concerned have been inconvenienced in any way. However, the directive lists objectives capable of justifying national legislation governing public authorities' access to such data and thereby derogating from the principle of confidentiality of electronic communications. The list of objectives is exhaustive, as a result of which that access must correspond, genuinely and strictly, to one of those objectives. The Court observes in that regard that, as regards the objective of preventing, investigating, detecting and prosecuting criminal offences, the wording of the directive does not limit that objective to the fight against serious crime alone, but refers to 'criminal offences' generally.
In its judgment in Tele2 Sverige , the Court ruled that only the objective of fighting serious crime is capable of justifying public authorities' access to personal data retained by providers of electronic communications services which, taken as a whole, allow precise conclusions to be drawn concerning the private lives of the persons whose data is concerned. That interpretation was, however, based on the fact that the objective pursued by legislation governing that access must be proportionate to the seriousness of the interference with the fundamental rights in question that that access entails. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, serious interference can be justified in that field only by the objective of fighting crime which must also be defined as 'serious'. By contrast, when the interference is not serious, that access may be justified by the objective of preventing, investigating, detecting and prosecuting 'criminal offences' generally.
The Court takes the view that access to only the data referred to in the request at issue in the main proceedings cannot be defined as 'serious' interference with the fundamental rights of the persons whose data is concerned, as those data do not allow precise conclusions to be drawn in respect of their private lives. The Court concludes that the interference that access to such data entails may therefore be justified by the objective of preventing, investigating, detecting and prosecuting 'criminal offences' generally, without it being necessary that those offences be defined as 'serious'.

Софья Дмитриевна Ли (30 марта 1904 — 4 сентября 1980) — советская художница. Член Союза художников СССР. Заслуженный работник культуры Белорусской ССР (1975).

В годы Великой Отечественной войны — активная участница партизанского движения в Белоруссии.

Биография
Родился 30 марта (12 апреля) 1904 года в посёлке Оболь Петропавловской волости Полоцкого уезда Витебской губернии Российской империи.

В 1928-1931 годах училась в Витебском художественном техникуме. Ученица М.Г. Энде и В.Я. Хрусталева. Дипломная работа — картина «Культурная революция».

Работала в Минске, специализировалась на тематических картинах и натюрмортах. Участник республиканских выставок с 1929 года.

Вышла замуж за военного летчика-испытателя — корейца, принявшего советское гражданство. В 1928 году родила сына Германа, через 12 дней после рождения сына муж погиб в авиакатастрофе.

В 1940 году вступила в ВКП(б).

В годы войны
С началом войны, когда немецкие самолёты стали бомбить Минск, Софья с 12-летним сыном отправилась к своей маме в д. Березянка Пуховичского района Минской области.

С весны 1942 года — партизанка отряда «Победа», который располагался в Березянском лесу. Командир отряда — Е. Ф. Филипских. Сначала была связной и разведчицей. Её сын Герман также был партизанским связным и разведчиком — живя у бабушки собирал сведения о немецких гарнизонах в соседних населённых пунктах.

Лично участвовала в операциях партизан. Например, весной 1943 года вместе с сыном участвовала в двухчасовом бое, когда были уничтожены шесть грузовиков противника.

6 сентября 1943 года фашистским карательным отрядом была сожжена деревня Березянка с 44 жителями, среди них была и мать Софьи Ли.

Поклявшись отомстить, Софья Ли вступила в группу подрывников, активно участвовала в диверсиях.

В ходе «рельсовой войны» только за период с 8 по 14 марта 1944 года группой в которую входила Софья Ли на железной дороге Гомель-Минск было подбито четыре вражеских паровоза.

С 1944 года — парторг отряда, член бюро Пуховичского подпольного райкома партии.

В начале июля 1944 года партизанская бригада «Пламя», в которую входил отряда «Победа», в районе Марьиной Горки соединилась с частями Красной Армии и была расформирована.

Награждена боевым орденом Красной Звезды и медалями.

После войны
После войны жила и работала в Минске, Белорусская ССР.

Восемь раз подряд избиралась депутатом Минского гродского Совета, была членом общественной инспекции при исполкоме и сотрудником отдела искусств Ленинского райкома партии.

Была награждена орденом «Знак Почёта», медалью «За трудовое отличие» и Почётной грамотой Верховного Совета БССР.

В 1975 году ей присвоено звание Заслуженный работник культуры Белорусской ССР.

Умерла 4 сентября 1980 года в Минске.

Сын — Герман Эндинович Ли (1928–2001), в войну бывший юным партизаном отряда «Победа», после войны окончил Новосибирское военное летное училище и Высшую военную школу летчиков в г. Грозный, летал на реактивных истребителях, после демобилизации в 1959 году работал в гражданской авиации на международных линиях.

Творчество
Живописец. Работала в жанре сюжетно-тематической картины, а также в жанре лирических пейзажей, натюрмортов.

Автор многих картин на партизанскую тему — ещё в годы войны в 1943-1944 годах написала картины «За боевой учебой», «Партизанский лагерь», «Партизанская клятва». Также на эту тему картины: «Партизаны в деревне» (1946), «Партизанка в дозоре» (1947), «В тылу врага» (1967), «Ой, березы да сосны, партизанские сёстры» (1975), «Срочное донесение» (1979) и др.

В 1968 году пишет одно из лучших своих произведений — «Партизанская землянка».

Картины о мирном труде советских людей — «Фабрика КИМ» (1929), «Колхозная электростанция» (1935), «Лесосплав», «Лесозаготовки» (1948), «Колхозные огни», «Вечная слава» (1963).

Её произведения находятся в Национальном художественном музее Белоруссии, Белорусском музее истории Великой Отечественной войны, Гомельском и Столинском краеведческих музеях.

In the travel marketing industry, when we refer to the traveler's decision-making decision process, we traditionally refer to three phases: Before, During and After. Before a trip takes place, one will refer to different offline and online tools, such as destination web sites, online travel agencies (OTAs), user-generated content sites and various social networks in order to gather information about a potential upcoming trip, book accommodation and transportation, then get ready to travel. After the trip, a traveler will typically upload pictures to their Picasa, Flickr or Facebook accounts, will review the hotel, restaurant or attraction on Yelp or TripAdvisor and may continue the conversation with one or many of the brands (hotel, destination, airlines, etc.) depending on the type of customer experience delivered and overall vacation satisfaction. The concept of "Digital Destination" corresponds to the During phase of the travel cycle. It encompasses all digital components a traveler will come across once on site, at a given destination.
Becoming a Digital Destination thus requires a different mindset and toolkit than what we are accustomed to typically when looking at pre- and post- aspects of travel. Rather, it's about how new technologies can enhance the traveler experience while onsite: greater access to information, integration of tools between accommodations and visitors' bureau, lighter versions of web sites adapted for mobile and tablets, and more importantly, pertinent information accessible in real-time. Because herein lies the real revolution and challenge: with the advent of social media and mobile comes the contraction of the three phases into a single one: that is, everything is now in real-time! The lines between before, during and after are blurring and we all need to adapt to this new reality.
1. Wifi: Free wifi is not just nice-to-have, it's a must-have! Thus, ensuring bandwith and accessibility across the destination becomes a key aspect to ensuring a seamless customer experience, from transportation to attractions to accommodations to restaurants.
2. Mobile solutions (site, application): With the ever-increasing user growth of smartphones and tablets, what solutions should be developed to ensure connected travelers can continue their search while onsite? A mobile optimized site and/or a mobile app are the tools of choice that should be in place.
4. Modified website: Would it be thinkable to have a modified website for when you are onsite at a destination? A "lighter" version, if you will? This variation of the full-on site would only feature highlights and most commonly asked Q&A. Or perhaps a modified site that focuses more on different types of personas, as per different identified popular niches, i.e. foodies, culture buffs, party animals, etc.
5. Printed documents: Going digital is nice and the way of the future, but this doesn't mean we can't hold the traveler's hand during this process. You develop a new mobile application for this amazing new walking trail, loaded with videos, location-based gaming features and QR codes to boot? Great! Make sure people can rent or borrow a smartphone or iPad to enjoy it too, and make sure there is a paper flyer that explains how it works. Better yet, complement the trail with physical signage for those who don't wish to be bothered with technology.
6. Key performance indicators (KPI): Last but not least, just like with any marketing endeavor, the above five points need to be measured against success metrics that should be defined from the outset. Without KPIs in place, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to tweak and adjust as time goes by, technologies and customer behaviors changing along the way.
Is Social Media Enhancing or Ruining the Travel Experience?

Can Tesla Change the Face of Trucking in North America in 2018?
The name Tesla is synonymous with innovation and luxury. Tesla is now bringing that well-known penchant for style and efficiency into the world of trucking. The aptly named Semi is set to start production in 2019.
The world, apparently, is very excited to welcome this new Tesla battery-powered semi-truck. Already, pre-orders for the Tesla Semi have come in from Walmart, UPS, PepsiCo, and Anheuser Busch. Tesla and trucking industry standards are set to collide; the Semi is both fuel efficient and low on emissions.
The final price on the Tesla Semi has not yet been determined, but experts believe it will hover around $150,000. Companies who pre-ordered Tesla's Semi were required to place a $20,000 deposit on each truck ordered. In 2018, what Tesla trucking in North America will look like, is the question on everyone's mind.
Impact to the Industry and on Tesla's Brand
Tesla and the transportation industry infrastructure are currently at odds. The highway system is simply not yet equipped to provide charging stations for Tesla's electric trucks.
JB Hunt has said that the rigs are best suited for local hauling. Additionally, Jerry Hirsch of trucks.com believes the Semi would be ideal for use on the California coast. The distribution centers and ports are generally located there within a 250-mile distance from end to end.
Meijer, a grocery chain, has stated that the trucks will help them lower their carbon footprint. This sentiment has been echoed by Walmart and others. Fuel costs were another reason customers cited for reserving the Tesla Semi.
Elon Musk claims that the Tesla Semi can travel 500 miles before needing to be recharged. Critics argue, however, that diesel trucks can go much further. They also add that conventional trucks don't require a lengthy charging process, diesel stations are more plentiful.
Nevertheless, Tesla's new technology is making waves in the automotive industry. It is aerodynamic, sleek, and stylish, and the driver will sit in the center of the cab. Truck manufacturers are now considering possibilities previously unseen.
Overall, the introduction of Semi has been good for the Tesla brand. The company stock finished 50% higher on Wall Street at the end of 2017 compared to the start of the year. Still, it is currently sitting at about 20% below their record high.
Tesla's foray into the trucking market has made other manufacturers face an uncomfortable truth. Automakers have forged ahead into green technologies, and the trucking industry has lagged behind. The readiness of the market to embrace Tesla's mission of cleaner truck emissions, is highly likely to bolster a new age in trucking.
Pros and Cons of the Semi
The Tesla Semi is not without its problems, however. Tesla is paving a new frontier without a ready market for electric trucks. Also, the batteries are heavy, reducing the all-important total load capacity.
Still, an important consideration for today's consumer is the environment. Trucks are estimated to be responsible for a full 20% of the planet's greenhouse gases. This is significant, as they comprise only 5% of vehicles on the road.
The world of trucking is currently an industry worth $726 billion. It moves slowly, and Tesla is uninhibited by traditional business models. GM – for example – has had to spend time rebuilding their stock price from their former glory.
Changes to the Trucking Industry
According to Martin Tiller of Nasdaq.com, electric motors are going to take hold on the trucking industry. Autonomous trucks are another innovation he expects to see replicated in trucking. He also believes that Tesla has paved the way to reduce fuel costs and to save money by eliminating drivers.
Paccar, Daimler, Cummins, and Volvo have already been working to develop substitutes for diesel-burning trucks. Toyota-Kenworth is working on hydrogen fuel cell technology, in addition to other solutions.
70% of the US freight market is moved via big rigs, and so the stakes couldn't be higher. All eyes are on Tesla right now to see how this plays out. By joining the trucking game, it appears Tesla has already shaken things up.

Do I need a license to rent a dumpster in Townville?
If this is your first time renting a dumpster in Townville, you may not know what is legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. Should you plan to place the dumpster totally on your own property, you are not usually required to obtain a license.
If, however, your job needs you to set the dumpster on a public road or roadway, this will usually mean that you need to submit an application for a license. It is almost always advisable to check with your local city or county offices (maybe the parking enforcement division) in case you have a question about the demand for a license on a road.

The most common dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard versions. If you are in possession of a small endeavor, like clearing out a garage or cellar, you can likely reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. If you have a larger endeavor, like a complete remodel or constructing a new house, then you'll probably need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many folks choose to rent a larger dumpster than they think they will desire. Although renting a larger dumpster costs more money, it is more economical than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets complete.
As with any service, it is almost always a great plan to allow your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to make sure that the dumpster will be available when you really need it. If you wait until the final minute, there is no promise that the business will soon have the capacity to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is usually adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery punctually.

Most cities or municipalities do not have many regulations regarding in Townville as long as you keep the dumpster entirely on your own property during the rental period. Should you have to put your container on the street at all, you will likely have to get a license from the right building permit office in your town.
Most businesses in Townville will take care of procuring this license for you if you rent from them. Be sure that in the event that you're intending to set the dumpster on the street, the organization has made the appropriate arrangements. You need to also make certain you get the license in a timely manner and at the correct cost. In case you thought the dumpster company was getting a license and they did not, you will be the person who will need to pay the fine that's issued by the authorities.
Picking a dumpster size needs some educated guesswork. It's often problematic for people to estimate the sizes that they need for roofing jobs because, realistically, they have no idea just how much stuff their roofs contain.
There are, nevertheless, some basic guidelines you can follow to make a good option. In case you are removing a commercial roof, then you'll probably require a dumpster that provides you at least 40 square yards.
Many people order one size larger than they believe their projects will require since they want to prevent the extra expense and hassle of replacing complete dumpsters which were not large enough.

The Parisian fashion house announced on December 3 that it will stop manufacturing products made from snakes, crocodiles, lizards and ostrich because of the difficulty in obtaining ethically sourced skins.
The exotic skin industry is a slippery business, one which many fashion houses have long relied on fur and animal skins to drive sales. It's the most coveted and expensive luxury product on the market for which millions of animals are purpose-bred in farms around the world for their prized hides.
Animal activists have long objected against the brutal act, targeting the industry leaders and urging them to be the voice of change due to the barbaric nature that skins are obtained and the very real threat of endangering certain species.
But with continued pressure from animal rights groups, changing consumer needs and a rapidly increasing carbon footprint (the fashion industry is the second biggest contributor to global warming after the oil industry), fashion leaders are actually listening with a real intent to change.
Ahead of its Metiers d'Art show today (The Métiers d'Art collections were first conceived by Karl Lagerfeld in 2002 as a homage to the house's workshop) at The Met Museum in New York, Chanel said it would "no longer use exotic skins in our future creations."
Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel's president of fashion, revealed that it's becoming costly to source its exotic skins – which include crocodile, lizard, snake, stingray and fur – and will aim to produce "a new generation of high-end products" using fabric and leather instead.
The exotic skins in question include crocodile, lizard, snake and stingray. Pavlovsky noted the list also includes fur, of which Chanel uses very little, according to WWD. The situation now is that the house is struggling to source skins and fur that are in-line with the house's stringent ethical standards.
The move reflects the mood of the entire industry, which is shifting to accommodate younger, more conscious buyers. There is a greater emphasis on buying fewer things less often, and on social and corporate responsibility, and the effects are trickling down from designer to consumer. Chanel now joins a growing list of luxury labels like Versace Gucci, Shrimps, Molly Goddard, Faustine Steinmetz and Vivienne Westwood who've pledged to stop killing animals for fashion. In June Asos announced that it will ban the sale of all mohair, silk, cashmere and feathers in 2019, and a growing number of high-street labels are opting for safer production – both for the person producing the garment and the environment. Designers will continue to improve the production of faux fur, with more brands like British label Shrimps and American label House Of Fluff steadily filling the void that real fur once occupied.
Technological advances will soon allow brands to grow real fur in labs without having to breed or harm animals or suffer any environmental impacts. It's been reported that designer Ingvar Helgason (formerly of the brand Ostwald Helgason) is developing BioFur, which would grow synthetic pelts the way that Modern Meadow has been able to produce lab-grown leather and Diamond Foundry creates lab-grown diamonds. And these advances are being made across other animal-based bi-products too: Piñatex, a synthetic leather made from pineapple leaf fibres, has been developed and is in production. "Eco-leather", made with natural fibres layered together, creates a material that beautifully resembles leather.Skin and fur remain an iconic and coveted luxury item in many certain cultures but more than ever, shoppers are aligning their values and their wardrobes and it's causing a ripple effect through the fashion industry.


I am a Kenyan self taught foodie. My food is very tasty and mouth watering.I quit my job for me to improve my cooking skills, am very passionate about food and would love to host visitors at the comfort of my home.
We will all meet at the Thika Road Mall (TRM) whereby we will proceed to the market and get fresh products, you will be able to interact with the local vendors also. You will also enjoy a ride on a matatu. We will then proceed to my home and cook a mouth watering food in a Kenyan environment.
If you will not be comfortable going to the market , kindly let me know and will get them before. Also if you have any allergies to food let me know.


Our goal was to develop a weather-resistant and waterproof material that looks and feels like noble wood, comes from a renewable raw material, defies water, sunlight, wind and cold, and does not splinter after many years in use. A material that conserves resources and always provides the same high quality. A goal we accomplished after intensive research when we developed the intelligent Resysta® material mix, which consists of around 60% rice husks, around 22% rock salt and around 18% mineral oil.
Have a look yourself and be convinced by the innovative material mix that makes the Salamander outdoor profiles extremely durable and at the same time sustainable! You will see that your outdoor project become something extra-special.
