After an exuberating motorcycle trip that Satyajeet Mohanty took part in, he saw a great market opportunity in Motorcycle Touring. Satyajeet says, "Motorcycle touring is a comprehensive experience and riders who go out on these tours are really passionate about riding. More than riding, touring is an escape into a different world, away from your daily routine, where you can be ourselves without conforming to social constructs." Wanting to enable and inspire these riding enthusiasts, the entrepreneur founded 'Bolt Auto Technologies', also known simply as, Bolt; a company that creates technology enabled motorbike accessories to enhance the riding experience.
Bolt is a comprehensive solution for riding enthusiasts who love to tour the world in their bikes. One of their most famous product is the Bolt Red Streak; a mobile charger which can be mounted on your motorcycle with a unique detachable design. Another one of their products is the Bolt Pocket; a device to help secure your phone during your ride enabling hands-free navigation. These products, along with a few others make Bolt a must try company for bike enthusiasts.

FIFA 22's Top Best Passers Have Been Revealed
Ryan Sidle
Kevin de Bruyne is officially the best passer in the world, at least according to FIFA 22, with the Manchester City play maker topping the rankings when it comes to his rating.
FIFA 22's release is just over a week away, although gamers have been able to play 10 hours of early access, or 20 if they know the cheat.
As well as the usual complaining about ratings, one bizarre nugget about the game as been revealed, with Lewis Hamilton and Anthony Joshua part of EA's latest offering.
What is more expected is the fact that De Bruyne, rather unsurprisingly, leads the way when it comes to passing stats on FIFA 22, as per EA Sports.
The City playmaker has beaten Real Madrid's Toni Kroos and PSG star Lionel Messi to the top spot, nine other Premier League players in the list, although one of them has just left the league.
19. James Rodriguez - RW - Everton (86)
=. James Ward-Prowse - CM - Southampton (86)
=. Pedro Leon - RM - CF Fuenlabrada (86)
=. Youri Tielemans - CM - Leicester City (86)
=. Joshua Kimmich - CDM - Bayern Munich (86)
Kimmich is amongst several players with 86 passing. Image: PA Images
=. Thiago Alcantara - CM - Liverpool (86)
=. Paul Pogba - CM - Manchester United (86)
=. Jorginho - CM - Chelsea (86)
11. David Silva - CAM - Real Sociedad (87)
=. Hakim Ziyech - RW - Chelsea (87)
=. Marco Verratti - CM - PSG (87)
Euro 2020 winner Verratti is one of the best passers on the game. Image: PA Images
=. Luis Alberto - CAM - Latium/Lazio (87)
7. Trent Alexander-Arnold - RB - Liverpool (88)
6. Bruno Fernandes - CAM - Manchester United (89)
=. Luka Modric - CM - Real Madrid (89)
4. Dani Parejo - CM - Villarreal (90)
Dani Parejo is an excellent passer. Image: PA Images
3. Lionel Messi - RW - PSG (91)
=. Toni Kroos - CM - Real Madrid (91)
1. Kevin de Bruyne - CM - Manchester City (93)
There really could only be one man at the top of the charts. Image: PA Images
You have to wonder what De Bruyne's reaction would have been if Kyle Walker had played a similar prank on him that the Belgian and Phil Foden pulled on the right back.
The two City stars tricked their teammate into believing his pace was 78 on this year's game, something he wasn't all too happy about.

This project develops a multi-scale anomaly detection algorithm for time-varying graph data. More specifically, it is implicitly assumed that the local topology of the sequence of graphs is relatively stable, and a novel technique detects changes in the local topology at the whole graph and node level. This workflow can accommodate multiple node types and edge types (colorings) as well as directed graphs.
As an example application, network flow data is naturally represented as a time-varying sequence of graphs with nodes representing IPs and colored, directed edges encoding flows. Anomalous bittorrent traffic and ip-scanning traffic is identified with 100% true-positive rate and false positive rate bounded by 2.85%.

The drain tracing dye will give a coloured tint to any liquid it comes into contact with.
Each 400g of drain tracing dye will colour 30-40,000 litres of chemical free water.


What can TRA 2008 do for me?
This general walking tour of Ljubljana includes all the most significant sights of the old city centre.
The tour starts with seeing the Baroque Town Hall building, the seat of the municipal council, with the famous Robba Fountain next to it, and continues across the lively fruit, vegetable and flower market designed by the architect Jože Plečnik. It continues past the Cathedral of St. Nicholas and the Slovenian Tourist Information Centre, across the Dragon Bridge, an Art Nouveau masterpiece adorned on each end with a dragon, the symbol of Ljubljana, and alongside the Ljubljanica river to the centrally located the Prešernov trg square. From there you are guided across the Triple Bridge, one of the most recognisable creations of the architect Jože Plečnik, to the Ribji trg square where the oldest building in Ljubljana is located. On your way to the centre of Ljubljana Old Town you cross the squares Mestni trg, Stari trg and Gornji trg, whose buildings boast beautiful Baroque facades, and continue towards the Cobblers' Bridge. After crossing the bridge, the tour takes you to the Novi trg square from where you continue across a gentle slope towards Plečnik's Summer Theatre Križanke and the famous Baroque Church of the Knights of the Cross. The final part of the tour takes you along Vegova ulica street past a line of houses whose walls incorporate the remains of the Roman town walls.
Bled first began to attract tourists in the middle of the 19 century when a Swiss doctor, Arnold Rikli, built a climatic health resort there.
It is often said to be a pearl of the Alpine region. What makes it unique is its emerald-green lake, a chapel on an island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the 11th century, perched high on a cliff above the lake.
A panoramic bus ride around the lake leads guests on to a guided tour of Bled castle. This is followed by a trip on a typical Bled 'pletna' boat to the island.
A region called Kras (Karst) stretches across the southwest of Slovenia. It is a land of rare beauty, secret underground waters and caves, a special climate and fascinating flora among rocky hills. Right in the middle, in a picturesque village called Lipica, beautiful white horses called Lipizzaners have been bred for more than 400 years. A local guide takes visitors on a tour of the stables pointing out different stages of the breeding and training of these noble animals. A performance in which star Lipizzaner studs show off the excellence of the skills learnt in their training school is the centrepiece of the visit. In the afternoon, the excursion continues to the Mediterranean, Slovenia's coast. The highlight is a visit to Piran, the oldest and most beautiful town on the Slovenian coast where you can admire its charming Venetian architecture.
You are also welcome to explore lively Portorož, the most popular Slovenian coastal resort featuring bars, casinos and plenty of nightlife, a total contrast to historical Piran.


Back to school the end of August and this week just gone, was a school holiday, thanks to Eid Al Adha, which marks the Hajj in the Islamic calendar. Apart from a few public holidays it is now full on until the winter break as it is called here or 2 weeks off for Christmas. It's going to be a long term.
An afternoon and evening spent on the beach with my son and his girlfriend for dinner and to watch the fireworks that mark Eid Al Adha.
Another blog post waiting to be written, I neither have the time or the energy. This was taken in July at the Dachau Concentration camp in Munich.
Peter has been ill since his return from Pakistan the end of last week and hasn't joined in with many activities, I've really enjoyed the 2 weeks with my son and his girlfriend, but back to normal next week, Peter in Egypt so it'll be just me and my dog.
This is Clyde our new foster dog, who is Bonnie's sister. He was neutered today and needs to be kept calm and still, which was hard work, as he was so excited to be out of the kennels for the first time since mid June.
It doesn't matter how much the sun shines, it doesn't makes things easier as an expat to say goodbye to my son who I won't see again until July next year.
The top photo was taken on Thursday, I assumed they were making a footbridge, there has been no access over the road since they started the canal 18 months ago, on Friday the bridge was elevated into place, they sure do work fast in Dubai.
The Islamic calendar is dictated by the sighting of the moon, hence why we've had a whole week off and not just a few days for Eid Al Adha.
Oh lucky having a whole week off! Bet the fireworks were spectacular!
Oh your son does look like you. Must be nice to have had a break, but it seems a long way till Christmas.
You look young enough to be his sister not his mother.
Well done on taking on Clyde, 3 months is a long time to be in kennels.
That is quick work on the bridge, or is it just that in the UK everything like that goes at snail pace.
Gorgeous pic of your dog. Nice to have a foster dog around especially with your son back here and Peter away.


Deep information understanding and reasoning is about mining knowledge from data records. By reading billions of structured and unstructured records, valuable patterns and causal relationships are revealed. We develop techniques that provide massive capability to extract and build knowledge from vast amounts of data.
One example is our artificial intelligence project with Sørlandet Hospital Trust. There we build systems that provide instant information about crucial medical conditions, such as allergies. Our algorithms mine clinical knowledge from the narrative part of millions of electronic health records (EHR). We want to discover knowledge about cause and effect, as well as the meaning of medical terms and how they are related. Through self-learning artificial intelligence, patient narratives are structured, medical concepts are extracted and crucial findings about the patient are presented to the medical professionals in seconds.


The Energy Bra is one of Lululemon's top selling bras and is a favorite for its strappy back and perfect balance of style and function. The four way stretch material is breathable and supportive, but it is not the most moisture wicking or compressive of the bras in the test group. It is a fantastic all-around running bra that is great for all-day wear, running, or the gym.
The Lululemon Energy Bra is a comfortable sports bra with a fun strappy style that feels almost as good as it looks. With minimal seams in all the right places, the bra fits comfortably and moves well with your body. The compression is just enough for running without being too much to still feel comfortable for everyday wear.
The bra is medium compression and is ideal for light to moderate exercise including running, yoga, and the gym. It stays put as you move and does not chafe. The bra fits and moves well even with a basic looking design.
The energy bra is a moderate compression sports bra that is ideal for the gym and yoga, or running for small to medium cup sizes.
For average temperatures and weather the bra is light and breathable. When the weather gets hot and humid, the bra will hold some moisture and show sweat marks, while still maintaining comfort.
A basic scoop design in the front is enhanced with multiple crossing straps in the back. The bra comes in as many as ten colors, prints, and patterns that change regularly each season.


Meet Highland Park's Mike Zehe!
It's hard to believe, but it's already been four years since Mike Zehe left the insurance industry and followed his passion for wine to join us at Vin Chicago. Always with a smile and a can-do attitude, Mike spent a few years learning the business at our Elston Avenue store before moving north to take on the assistant manager role in Highland Park. We're thrilled to have him as part of the team!
What is the first wine that blew you away?
I will not forget the time I tried the 2008 Domaine Leflaive "Sous le Doc D'Ane" Premier Cru Meursault. (Quite a name, but I saved the brochure from the tasting!) It was early in my wine adventures, and my first truly great wine. I was left speechless, and stupefied. How could wine taste that good? It was utterly decadent and delicious, like the best creme brulee in the world. I have yet to match that revelatory experience, though I've come close many times.
Any wines in your cellar that you're holding for a special occasion?
One with sentimental value is the bottle of 2006 D'Arenberg "Dead Arm" Shiraz, an iconic wine from the McLaren Vale region of South Australia. I received it as a gift from an early wine mentor when I graduated from college. I've been patient for seven years, the longest for any bottle in my cellar. I definitely look forward to enjoying the fruits of my 'labor' sooner rather than later.
Meet Highland Park's Lyle Jorgenson!
Bright energetic and detail oriented, Lyle has proven himself a versatile and passionate member of the team. As is the case with so many Vin Chicagoans, Lyle was a customer for several years before making a break from the banking world to join us full time.
What is your first wine memory?
I came late to the game. I had a strong beer background energized by my Father's interest since the early 1990s in artisan-crafted beer from home and abroad. Expeditions across multiple counties to source something new and exciting and the little tastes I might get from time to time stuck with me and fueled a life-long curiosity in food and drink. The birth of a glutton it would seem. My great-grandfather was a Calabrian immigrant who made wine at home up until the 1970s, the younger generations helping him along the way. Unfortunately, my exposure to family wine was no more grandiose than those eerily long-lasting jugs. Intrigued by the impact of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc, my glaring lack of knowledge and a new home with space to gather a collection — I jumped in head-first and have not looked back.
What is your favorite wine region?
I'm usually not good at choosing favorites, but from my first taste of La Rioja Alta's "904" Gran Reserva, I think my answer has been Rioja. This region's classic producers provide routine availability to unique, aged wines. No other region does this, much less at the completely accessible price-tags they wear. It won't be to every taste, but every taster should at least try a taste. I also love Muscadet's versatile, somewhat neutral, salty, bone-dry, underdog features. Ultimately, I enjoy wine together with food most; they elevate one another and can be a simple enjoyment of life. A producer's winegrowing style also increasingly matters every bit as much as its place of origin.
I love the holistic nature of wine. I love selling refreshment, pleasure, intrigue, trophy, celebration, tangible, today, tomorrow. I prefer to specialize in versatility. First and foremost I am an observer of people, a listener, and an analyzer. Having a social science degree a love of geography and a decade of direct face-to-face service has been very helpful for me in working with a mishmash of art & science that is so deeply experiential and intertwined with people. I see the many approaches: novice, experienced, collector, investor, hedonist, intellectual, romantic, curious, puritanical. I adore challenging, and the challenges — it is humbling. It is fascinating and I love it, every single day. It matters so much to me.
I'm Italian, so there isn't a time that I don't remember wine being a part of Sunday dinners at Grandma Lucy's! It was homemade, and that's the only kind I knew, I never even thought about store bought wine. Our grapevines grew entwined in a long archway and as I walked my way through I was surrounded by grapes above my head, ready to be picked. It was my favorite place to be, and a lasting memory.
When I got out of college I went to Italy to visit cousins of mine who were living in Naples. One day we took a trip to Sorrento and this is where I first tasted a wine that blew my mind. Sorrento was the most beautiful place I had ever been! The air was thick with enticing floral aromas and clean fresh lemon zest, little did I know that a wine could be described in the same way! We were served wine but to my surprise it was white wine! It never occurred to me to drink white wine but it was delicious! I never saw the bottle or even asked what it was, I just drank it with new found pleasure! That moment and that memory will last a lifetime.
What is your favorite wine from a recent newsletter?
In our February newsletter we featured an Italian white wine Terredora Irpinia Falanghina 2014. This wine blows me away! I believe that this was the unknown wine I drank in Sorrento all those years ago! If you have never had it please give it a try, it won't disappoint. The aromas are rich and intensely floral and the flavors of crisp green apples, pears and lemon pith dance on your tongue. There is substantial acidity and enough structure for this wine to be enjoyed throughout your meal. It's a fantastic food wine!
Jenna has been at our Elston Avenue store for just three months but it's hard to remember what life was like pre-Jenna. Always smiling, Jenna is the kind of person we love having on our team. She speaks softly, but with a profound passion and excitement. A chef by training, with stints at Girl & the Goat, Taxim and Green Zebra, Jenna has as much love for food as for wine. Looking for a perfect wine to pair with your special dinner? You'll want to seek her out!
Meet Hunter Logan: Chiavennasca Connoisseur, Culinary Adventurist and Puppy Lover!
What can we say about Hunter Logan? He is one of the sweetest, most sincere people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. His passion for wine and zest for life are inseparably intertwined. Ask about his latest culinary exploit and you're certain to get a big smile and a mouth-watering story!
I don't really have a "first" wine memory. It is more of a continuous string of memories that comprise my childhood. Wine was always a constant in my family - not surprising as some members hailed from the south of France - and a delicious bottle of wine was always present at the dinner table. Ironically, it was most often a bottle of Rioja and not a classical French wine. Riojas were a family favorite and I still enjoy them a great deal to this day.

In yesterdays budget which may or may not really mean anything, there is a demonstration of why budgets can't be taken to the bank and at best are educated guesstimates. Remember during the last election how we were told how low our deficit was, until after the election of course.
The finance minister delivered a warning of how costly overturning the HST would be to the province, not only the $1.6 billion having to go back to Ottawa (Ottawa doesn't have any money of it's own either) but the cost of reconstructing the provincial sales tax department. Included in the expected recovery scenario is an increase in revenues from the HST. Question: since we were sold, er told the HST was revenue neutral, why would it account for increased taxes flowing to government?
Remember Premier Campbell promising that giant tax cut when giving his 'Hail Mary' pitch before wisely deciding to leave ? Question: where is that much needed tax relief?
Just another example of our leaders confirming the notion that "we are all, just making this up as we go, and really don't have ANY idea what we are doing".

Next, our Faith will ALWAYS be about a Person! "God was manifested in the flesh." Our faith isn't mere religious philosophy. It isn't merely a set of ideas or doctrines. Our Orthodox faith is centered and surrounded by and focused on a Person – Jesus Christ. This physical faith means I don't pass on to my children mere ideas about God, but I forever encourage them to have a real, substantial, and life-changing relationship with a Person! This means if I abandon the Faith, I'm not abandoning an idea; I'm abandoning a Person, a relationship. That's much harder.

With a growing number of committed public, private, and nonprofit organizations working to advance K-12 financial education, no one needs to go it alone. Just recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) developed a resource guide to support leaders interested in advancing K-12 financial education by connecting them to ongoing conversations and providing access to information, tools, and resources. The guide includes a framework, case studies and strategies on how best to lay the groundwork, build the initiative, and extend the impact of K-12 financial education. The resource guide is called "Advancing K-12 Financial Education: A Guide for Policymakers" and is available for download at: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/reports/advancing-k-12-financial-education-a-guide-for-policymakers/.

Q: how to set color to indeterminate checkbox How do we set color to checkbox depending on state? Any idea guys ?
the default color of my checkbox is color="primary" if checkbox is indeterminate it should disabled the color primary and will show the default color of indeterminate
Thanks.
if the checkbox value is true the color should be primary - which is the sample below

if the checkbox is value is false it should be like this

my current problem is that when its indeterminate the current color result is this

#html
   <mat-checkbox
                        [indeterminate]="!data.isCriticalPath" (change)="checkState(data,$event,'isCriticalPath')"
                        [(ngModel)]="data.isCriticalPath" color="primary"></mat-checkbox>

A: In Angular Material you can set the color via the color directive or specific parts via css. But watch out, you have to set Material css on the top level of your css hirachy or by using ::ng-deep.
Example:
::ng-deep mat-checkbox .mat-checkbox-checkmark-path {
    stroke: red !important;
}

Checkout the Material Docs https://material.angular.io/components/checkbox/api

A: @Eknot mentioned the right way. You just need to toggle a class in your checkbox element depends on a state like this:
<mat-checkbox
  [class.intermediate]="!data.isCriticalPath"
  [indeterminate]="!data.isCriticalPath"
  (change)="checkState(data,$event,'isCriticalPath')"
  [(ngModel)]="data.isCriticalPath" color="primary">
</mat-checkbox>

And in your css file:
::ng-deep .intermediate .mat-checkbox-background {
  background-color: #b5b5b5 !important;
}

Character photography skills under natural light-Industry news-Shenzhen Cononmark Photographic Equipment Co., Ltd.
As a professional portrait photographer, photo shoot does not matter in the morning and evening and the season. After you press the SLR shutter, you will find that the shots are affected by both natural light and ambient light, mainly affecting color and tone. Therefore, it is important to know how to use natural light not only to know the characters' photography skills.
Of natural light compared to artificial light (flash), of course, natural light is more uniform, but in the absence of natural light, artificial light (flash) has become the fundamental solution to the problem. According to a photographic equipment website survey found that viewers prefer to use natural light photos, perhaps this is long-term living in the natural light of people's instinct reaction. In addition, compared with flash light, natural light in the application also more intuitive, not subject to site constraints, shooting lower cost.
If you really want to take advantage of natural light shooting people, then you need to truly understand the natural light, the important thing is to learn how to adapt to changes in the environment of natural light. Some friends are more wondering why the backlight shooting models, the background will become bright it? In fact, this is caused by the principle of natural light. In a natural light environment, a single light source is rare, most of the time, the environment of objects on the light reflection will have varying degrees of light and shadow impact.
When shooting people photography, if you want to divide the different intensity of light, then it can be divided into light, weak light and glimmer. Among them, in the bright light environment, most are outdoors with direct sunlight, because the light is very big, and the light source is also very strong impact, but do not forget the exposure is the need for more accurate adjustment. Generally in the post-processing, will require a higher degree of tolerance degree of photographic equipment, otherwise prone to "dead white, dead black" situation.
If you are shooting on rainy days or indoors, then the ambient light is weak. At this time the light is relatively small, relatively easy to control exposure, it is suitable for new practice, develop awareness of the direction of the light source.
If at this time you are shooting portraits at night, then this natural light is glimmer, compare the high performance SLR camera performance and lens aperture size. If in the urban environment, the light source is more, you need to sort out the primary and secondary shooting.
Article summary: People photography, not the higher the light intensity, the higher the light quality, a good resolution is the light intensity and light quality and there is no direct contact. As the noon sun shines on the face ugly shadows, but also make the level of ambient light weakened. The real light quality is actually determined by the distribution of light and shade in the picture. The reasonable proportion of light and shade and its distribution can make the picture more textured. And do not necessarily need light to achieve this effect.

In bringing together scholars and activists, the Right of Return conference happening at Boston University, April 6-7, hopes to create a space where we shift from the realm of the abstract and instead address the reality of mitigating and correcting the plight of the Palestinian refugees and the diaspora. Recognizing the historical and contemporary suffering of the Palestinian refugees and the deplorable and oppressive conditions which they face today across the Middle East, the conference committee is motivated by a sense of urgency to further the work of envisioning, imagining, and planning the reality of Return. Within the frame of this conference, we hope to put forth a vision for an inclusive Palestinian future that centers marginalized Palestinian voices. While asserting the inalienable right of Palestinians to return to and live in their homeland, we also principally affirm the right of Israelis to live in Palestine as well. The Right of Return Conference seeks to be inclusive of all voices implied in the context of a post-Return Palestine. Ultimately, the conference seeks to normalize Return discourse within the US academic context.

Ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) provides significantly reduced lubricity – a critical property in controlling wear in fuel pumps and injectors. Diesel All-In-One adds back the lubricity the fuel pump and injectors need, reducing wear, improving service life and saving time and money on maintenance costs.
Fuel with a higher cetane number provides for a more complete burn, resulting in improved performance. By increasing cetane, Diesel All-In-One improves the ignition quality of diesel fuel, maximizing available power and improving starting. It also smooths idle and reduces smoke and emissions.
As the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins to crystallize. The point at which wax crystals form is known as the cloud point. These wax crystals eventually clog the fuel filter and starve the engine of fuel, preventing it from starting. While low-quality fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as 40ºF (4ºC), most fuels have a cloud point near 32ºF (0ºC). The point at which the crystals clog the fuel filter is known as the cold filter-plugging point (CFPP). Diesel All-In-One lowers the CFPP by up to 40ºF (22ºC) in ULSD.
Diesel All-In-One is recommended for use with all types of heavy- and light-duty, on- or off-road and marine diesel engines. Use maintenance dose for regular treatment. Add before filling tank. Diesel All-In-One must be added at temperatures above the diesel fuel cloud point (the temperature at which wax begins to cystallize). It will not reverse gel or wax crystals once formed.

Share plunge keeps Peugeot investors on good side of $50 billion Fiat merger
Investors poured a bucket of cold water on Peugeot Thursday, sinking the French carmaker's share 13% after digesting the first details of the group's planned merger with Italian-American rival Fiat Chrysler. That was a serious climb-down from the day before's euphoric highs, when markets had cheered on the news and sent Peugeot shares up 8%.
What happened in the meantime is that the two groups published the rough outline of their future merger, after the respective approvals of their boards. And investors just adjusted their sights to take into account the fact that this would indeed be on paper a merger of equals, with each side holding 50% of the new entity.
The day before news of the merger plan surfaced, Fiat's FCA, +7.91% market capitalisation stood at under €19 billion and Peugeot UG, -12.67% was worth 22.5 billion. When both companies had initiated their first talks around the beginning of the year, even before Fiat decided to try a merger with Renault, RNO, -3.02% Fiat was worth roughly the same amount but Peugeot was then only valued at €16 billion.
Markets may also have been disappointed by the fact that the promised synergies – €3.7 billion – will not be "based on any plant closures." After all, what's the point of appointing much-celebrated cost-cutter Carlos Tavares, the Peugeot boss who will head the new group, if he doesn't have a free rein to slash where he wishes?
But that promise may be the kind that only binds those who believe in it, and could have been inserted to make sure the French government – whose 12.2% stake in Peugeot will halve in the merged entity – does not throw a spanner in the wheels. As always in such cases, the French issued its usual warning that it would remain "vigilant" on jobs, while expressing support for the deal.
But, "vigilant" or not, Paris won't have much say in the future group, whose headquarters will move to the Netherlands. Peugeot meanwhile will distribute the stake it holds in French auto parts maker Faurecia to its shareholders. That's worth €2.6 billion at current market prices – more than Peugeot's loss of market value since the beginning of the week.
Even after Thursday's cold shower, Peugeot shares are up 26% since the beginning of the year. Even after their 20% jump over the last two days, Fiat's shares are only up 13% over the same period. These numbers help explain why the planned deal is unlikely to make too many shareholders unhappy.

De Olifantenparade (Engels: Elephant Parade) is de grootste openluchttentoonstelling met als doel het redden van de met uitsterven bedreigde Aziatische olifant. Gedurende enkele maanden veroveren honderden bontgekleurde kunstolifanten de straten van de stad. Iedere olifant is een uniek kunstwerk, beschilderd door lokale en internationale artiesten. Na afloop van de tentoonstelling worden alle beelden geveild onder leiding van een professioneel veilinghuis zoals Christie's en Sotheby's. Een deel van alle inkomsten van Elephant Parade gaat naar The Asian Elephant Foundation, die zich inzet voor het behoud van de Aziatische olifant.

Geschiedenis
De eerste editie van Elephant Parade was in Rotterdam in 2007. In 2008 volgde Antwerpen. Van 5 september tot en met 31 oktober 2009 bezocht Elephant Parade Amsterdam. In 2010 volgden Emmen en Londen. In 2011 was Elephant Parade in Heerlen, Kopenhagen, Milaan en Singapore. In 2012 was de parade in Hasselt (1 september — 1 november).

Aan Elephant Parade doen tal van kunstenaars mee. De olifanten worden beschilderd door bekendheden, al dan niet gerenommeerde kunstenaars, ontwerpers en jonge creatievelingen die het project gebruiken als platform om een groot publiek te bereiken. Van enkele ontwerpen uit Elephant Parade worden replica's gemaakt, variërend van 5 cm tot 75 cm hoog. Deze miniatuurolifantjes worden met de hand beschilderd en in beperkte oplage gemaakt en te koop aangeboden.
Elephant Parade is een initiatief van vader en zoon Marc en Mike Spits, beiden ondernemers. Na een bezoek aan het eerste olifantenziekenhuis ter wereld in Lampang bij Chiang Mai (Thailand) besloten zij een project op te starten waarmee ze mensen bewust konden maken van de situatie waarin de Aziatische olifant zich bevond. Dat werd Elephant Parade.
Een deel van alle opbrengsten van Elephant Parade gaat naar The Asian Elephant Foundation. Deze stichting steunt verschillende projecten door heel Azië.

Amsterdam
Meer dan 100 kunstolifanten deden mee aan de Elephant Parade in Amsterdam in 2009. Voor de Amsterdamse editie hebben onder andere Jan des Bouvrie, Henk Schiffmacher, Menno Baars, Ilse DeLange, Corneille, Rob Scholte, Raymond Hoogendorp en Daryl van Wouw een olifantenbeeld ontworpen.

In november 2009 werden de olifanten geveild door veilinghuis Christie's. De best verkochte olifant was een olifant van Corneille, voor een bedrag van 42.000 euro. De BaarsFant van Menno Baars werd geveild voor een bedrag van 30.000 euro.

Londen
In 2010 was Londen aan de beurt. 260 kunstolifanten werden beschilderd door o.a. Marc Quinn, Tommy Hilfiger, Lulu Guiness, Diane von Furstenberg, Menno Baars en Sabine Roemer. De veiling in juni 2010 leverde meer dan 4 miljoen pond op (ca. 5 miljoen euro). Het topstuk van de veiling was gemaakt door Jack Vettriano en leverde 155.000 pond (ca. 187.000 euro) op.

Dierenpark Emmen
Ter gelegenheid van het 75-jarig bestaan van Dierenpark Emmen was er in 2010 ook een Elephant Parade in de gemeente Emmen in Drenthe. In het centrum en het Dierenpark stonden tussen Hemelvaartsdag en eind augustus 75 kunstolifanten, voornamelijk gemaakt door kunstenaars uit de regio. Op 9 september 2010 vond de veiling van deze olifanten plaats onder leiding van veilinghuis Christie's in het Eden Hotel in Emmen. Het topstuk van deze veiling was gemaakt door Corneille, een beroemde Nederlandse Cobra-schilder, en werd verkocht voor 68.000 euro. Corneille zelf was niet bij de veiling aanwezig: hij overleed drie dagen voor de veiling van start ging.

Tour Bergen 2010
In het Noord-Hollandse kunstenaarsdorp Bergen werd voor het eerst een Elephant Parade Tour gehouden: in de etalages van 65 galerieën en winkels in Bergen stonden 'kamer'-olifanten van 75 centimeter hoog (de manshoge olifanten zijn ca. 1,50 meter). De tentoonstelling begon op 22 augustus en op 30 oktober werden de olifanten geveild door veilinghuis Christie's. De opbrengst van deze 65 kleine kunstwerken was in totaal 127.000 euro.

Op de laatste dag van Elephant Parade Bergen werd bekend dat de gemeenteraad een kunstwerk van George Jurriaans had aangeschaft ten behoeve van het plaatselijke Museum Kranenburgh. Bij eerdere edities werden er al tijdelijk olifanten in musea geplaatst, waaronder het Natural History Museum in Londen. In Bergen werd voor het eerst een kunstolifant in de permanente collectie van een museum opgenomen.

Barstool Sportsbook Launching in Michigan, its Second US Market
Written By: Amber Hoffman
Following its debut US launch in Pennsylvania last month, Barstool Sportsbook has its sights set on Michigan for its next US launch. This according to Penn National CEO Jay Snowden, who this week sat for an interview with Fantini Research, which provides paid market analysis for and about the gambling industry.
Earlier this month, Barstool Sportsbook announced it was partnering with Greektown Casino in Detroit for retail sports betting, so it will have a somewhat established land casino presence in the state as the legislature hammers out the final details for the launch of mobile sports betting and online casinos. Snowden said he expects the Barstool Sportsbook app to go live in Michigan in "mid-to-late November," which as of now aligns with how the state's timetable for legalization is playing out.
How Michigan Launch Differs From Pennsylvania Launch
The sports betting landscape is quite different in Pennsylvania and Michigan. When Barstool Sportsbook launched in PA in September, it was entering an established market as a new player, which Snowden conceded meant the company was "playing catch-up" as a late arrival. Michigan, however, is on the verge of legalizing mobile sports betting, with all entrants set to open up shop at the same time.
"In Michigan, the gun goes off and we're all at the starting line," Snowden said.
The CEO also noted that since Michigan is the first market Barstool Sportsbook will be launching at the same time as its competitors, how it fares here could telegraph its potential success in other markets down the line. In a recent conversation with FOX Business, Snowden outlined an ambitious launch plan for the brand, saying the app would be available in every state with legal mobile sports betting by the end of next year.
"I think it's going to be a nice proof point for us to show what many other states will look like once we have the appropriate time to play catch-up. What Michigan looks like in month 2 or month 3 might be a fair indication as to what it will look like across the country in the 20 states we'll be operating in a few years down the road," Snowden told Fantini.
A Challenging Time for Sportsbook Launches and Casinos
Penn National bought Barstool in late-January of this year, around six weeks before the coronavirus pandemic shuttered casinos nationwide. The closures sent shock waves through the company, which Snowden said at one point had "zero revenue coming in." The company took "significant, drastic action" to weather the crisis, including pay cuts across the board, and furloughing 90% of its company team members.
They kept chugging ahead with their Penn Interactive division, however, to continue development work on the Barstool Sportsbook app, which they've since launched in Pennsylvania and will be soon launching in Michigan. As for land casinos, Detroit's August casino revenues beat expectations overall, but lagged 42% over last year's numbers.
Barstool Sportsbook Casino App Coming "Soon"
Snowden also told Fantini the company plans to launch its online casino app in Michigan "very soon" after the launch of its sports betting app, pending regulatory approval by the state. As of now a bill legalizing online casinos is making its way through the Michigan Legislature.
"We're going to be launching in Michigan with sports betting and very soon after when the state is ready, online casino as well. You should expect for us to go from 1-2 states in 2020 to over a dozen states that will be live with both sports betting and online casino where it's legal by 2021," Snowden said.

Why is there a bridging pension for pros?
Many people think professional football players don't need to work after their active football career ends. That may be true for a handful of players, but the large majority of ex-pro footballers have to find a new career.
It's often not easy for them to find a job, since many have had no education beyond secondary school. So they have to catch up on their lack of qualifications. And when they do find work, they often have to start at the bottom of the ladder. That means a modest salary, while their costs have continued at the same level as before the abrupt end of their active football career.
The bridging pension gives footballers a temporary basic income to bridge the gap until they settle in a new career. They can use their period on benefits to gain work experience, continue their education or set up in business.


It's the first official practice day at the 34th World Gliding Championships, in Pociūnai, Lithiuania. Some 120 pilots from approximately 30 countries are here to contend for championships in three classes: Club, Standard and 20-Meter multi-place.
Many posts by others should have made you familiar with the six US pilots competing here, and their crews. We've all been on site for several days now, working hard to get five gliders fully ready for the start of official competition, scheduled for July 31 – just 4 days away.
Just transporting the gliders, pilots and crews here has been an adventure (it always is). Two of our gliders were shipped from the US; the other three were rented (two from the Czech Republic, one from Germany). In all cases lots of driving was necessary. It's not like crossing the US, but driving across Europe is not the work of an afternoon.
We've formed a good impression of Lithuania. The countryside is pleasantly rural, people are competent, friendly (with some reserve) and helpful, food is good (though certainly stronger on meat and potatoes than veggies), and prices are really attractive – pretty much everything except gasoline is notably cheaper than at home. As an example, team captain Fernando Silva and I this evening had dinner (chicken cutlet and goulash) at the very pleasant airport café here, for a total cost around $6 per person. In the nearby town of Prienai (about 6km west, and the place for local shops and restaurants), a large pizza with several toppings runs around $7. Beer in a supermarket runs around a dollar per half-liter can (which appears to be the smallest size).
The Pociūnai airfield looks to be an excellent place for a soaring contest. It subscribes to the old-fashioned European scheme for a glider site, with a vast expanse of grass (roughly a kilometer square) that allows launches and landings in any wind-favored direction. Buildings at the northwest corner – including a formidable hangar made entirely of cast concrete – support gliding operations. At the southeast corner (and thus a good long ways from us) is a busy sport parachuting club.
The huge airfield makes parking, gridding, launching and landing a large fleet of gliders no real problem – 100+ gliders occupy a rather small footprint in a 250-acre field. Essential to the launching is a fleet of Wilga ("oriole") towplanes – a tolerably strange-looking beast with spindly legs and a radial engine, which does a good job towing gliders. I haven't checked the exact number in service here, but it seems to be around 15. In part because of a "do-it-yourself" gridding scheme, today's launch was not really brisk, but that will surely improve.
It's fair to add that the weather thus far has not been the best. Hot (by the standards of northern Europe) and humid with some threat of afternoon overdevelopment has been the general pattern since we arrived. But the soaring conditions have typically been a bit better than the forecasts, so some decent practice flying has been possible. Today's tasks took all pilots to the south (much the most-used part of our task area), in some cases into Poland. Conditions were never great and it seems that most pilots decided to turn for home without completing their tasks.
One French pilot probably should have turned a bit sooner. A feature of Pociūnai-area soaring is that forests tend to offer good lift, which can tempt pilots to fly out of reach of friendly landing areas. This led to a landing yesterday afternoon not "aux vaches" but rather "aux poissons" (i.e. in a small lake). The report is that the glider suffered no permanent damage and will be flyable as soon as it has been dried out.
Glider L, the US Arcus flown by Mike Robison and Larry Timpson, turned in one of the better flights of the day. They did an excellent job working lift along the Belarus border (which must not be crossed) and got home as the day was dying. But it appears they may have to change their contest ID before the competition starts: another glider has claimed the single letter L, so they will probably become 1L, or perhaps L1. This is easily done with a piece of colored tape, though it does seem a shame thus to disfigure a beautiful glider.
Thanks John for the update. Up up U.S.!
Excellent. Look forward to following.
Excellent report John, as usual.
Best of luck to the US Team!


"Bulk wine prices at the end of the year started to reflect the impact of the large 2018 crop in Europe, with prices for Spanish and Italian wines showing the most relevant contractions," Rabobank analysts led by Stephen Rannekleiv wrote in a quarterly report.
The big 2018 harvest "will have a profound impact on trends in 2019," they wrote.
Still, consumers may pay more for quality. Entry prices are going down in many cases, but prices for certain varietals and qualities are holding well, the analysts said.
Also, online sales are growing, and margins for sellers are attractive due to there being a more premium mix than those available in brick-and-mortar stores, they said.
E-commerce can offer additional benefits such as an easier and cheaper geographic expansion, they added.

Q: shoppingCartPaymentList() always returns empty result I am using the following code to try to receive a list of all available payment methods:
$payments = $proxy->shoppingCartPaymentList($sessionId, $cartId);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($payments);
echo '</pre>';

While I have configured payment methods in the website configuration of the shop, only an empty array is returned. I have also set a valid store view id in my shoppingCartCreate(), so this should be fine, too.
Any ideas on this?

A: $payments = $proxy->availblePaymentMethods($sessionId, $cartId);
Please try with above

A: Got it.
The price for the product I added for testing was set to 0.00 (and so was shipping), so Magento automatically applied the "Zero Subtotal Checkout" method (not sure if that´s the correct english name, using a German instance) for payments.
As I tried to set a payment method before retrieving a list, the returned array was emtpy (strange anyways, but well...).
I changed the price to 0.01 Euro, so the Zero Subtotal Checkout did not apply anymore. Once I did that and moved the shoppingCartPaymentList() before the shoppingCartPaymentMethod() all available payment methods were returned.
