With the departure of Ron Dennis, McLaren enters a new era in 2017 under the stewardship of Zak Brown. The team looks set to reflect this boardroom revamp in the paint shop.
Suspicions are growing that McLaren could run an orange livery in 2017, with the MP4-32 set to be unveiled on 24th February.
The above tweet surfaced two days ago, causing a stir at the time. The story has since gained momentum with Autosport and Motorsport.com subsequently publishing articles in relation to the rumour.
McLaren last ran an orange livery in 2006, while they tested the MP4-21. It was hugely popular with fans as McLaren referred to their heritage, having run the same colours from inception up until 1971.
Ron Dennis has in the past rubbished the idea of a retro-inspired livery. This is a man who in 2015, stated "it was the old colour of McLaren," in response to calls for a red and white McLaren-Honda livery. "Why the hell do we want to go backwards?"
With Ron 'No Nonsense' Dennis out of the hotseat at McLaren, creativity in the paint shop may be back on the agenda. After all, Zac Brown has already hinted at an aesthetic change. At last weekend's Autosport International show, Brown stated that "We've just signed off on the car livery and I think the fans will be excited to find out what the car looks like both technically and visually."
For those anticipating the introduction of an all-orange McLaren-Honda in February, I have a few words of warning. McLaren have, in the past, touted significant visual changes, only to deliver subtle tweaks. 2015 was a case in point.
In addition, we know that the teamwear for 2017 is grey in design. A photo of Stoffel Vandoorne sporting what seems to be the latest McLaren team kit surfaced on Twitter yesterday.
A pragmatic fan should head into the car launch expecting to see a typically chrome McLaren-Honda, potentially featuring orange accents. A step in the right direction for traditionalists, if not quite what fans of F1 2002's technicolour field of cars are quite hoping for.

It's a Monday Project. it started on n http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/597566/ Webpage : http://www.zeoxdesign.com/monday/
Getting the game
You need to install Allegro 5 first. Guide for windows Installing_4.9_Windows
Then you need LUA 5.1. Helpful guide for Windows http://lua-users.org/wiki/BuildingLua
Then checkout the monday/trunk dir from SVN
<highlightSyntax language="bash">
mkdir %your source dir%/monday cd %your source dir%/monday SVN co http://svn.miquelfire.com/monday/trunk make ./monday
Alternatively, you can replace make with scons, if you have that installed.
Games & Scripting
Design Team
- Lead - 23yrold3yrold & Mark Oates
OnlineCop has been assigned the coding task. But he's slow.
File format
Format to be decided by programming team. 23yrold3yrold will make his editor spit out maps accordingly.
A script should be able to order a map switch.
Entities (Items & Objects & Characters)
- Entity
- Lua bindings
- Set_function(action, function)
- Set/get position
- Entity_manager
- Pick_up
- Attack
- Interact
- Lua bindings
- Create_entity
- Destroy_entity
Map - every object is associated with the map it is on. Parent Object - An object may not be in plain view on the map, but may be e.g. in a player's inventory x,y,z - In terms of the Map renderer or relative to the Parent Object quat rot; <-- may be handy here too, giving the same properties as LocRot in blender
This class is not in the code so far, but is a candidate to replace the Vector in Item, Character & Player
<highlightSyntax language="cpp"> class Locator { public:
float Get_angle_256(); /* returns angle (in allegro degrees) on x,y plane from rot */ void Set_angle_256(float angle); /* sets rot to angle (in allegro degrees) */ float Get_map_distance(Locator& l2); /* returns distance (in map units) to another locator. This could be x,y for now */
Map * map; /* Map that the Item is on */ Item * item; /* parent object. set for an Item if it is attached to another Item or in a Player's inventory */ Vector3 xyz; /* position of Item in parent's axes */ AL_QUAT rot; /* rotation of Item relative to parent */
} </highlightSyntax>
Item* takes priority over Map* (they should ideally be merged into a single global object). If (item!=NULL) then xyz and rot are in parent-defined co-ords, otherwise they are in map co-ords
Trezker's TODO
- Inventory
- Item management //No, it's pretty different from the Item_manager, so no inheritance please.
- Inventory menu // Yes, this is a menu. Opened with some button in game.
- Info about item // On mousover
- Render function // Layout?
- Equip // just a click; right click to bind to right mouse button, left to bind to left.
- Use/Drop item // Low prio, this is not in design
Matt Smith: An inventory can be implemented as a map. An Item's location will have a parent which can be a Map, a Character , or even another Item.
Main Class
at the moment, trunk just instantiates game and lets Game::Run() handle all the initialisation and the main loop
- add command line params to main() - Done in /branches/mattsmith, will merge with trunk asap
- read system .cfg file or [System] section of monday.cfg
- move Allegro initialisation from Game.cpp to Main.cpp
- move main loop to Main. add main_event_t to receive communcation from Game
- save changes to system .cfg file or [System] section of monday.cfg
Loading and Saving
Trezker's TODO
- Loading // Can use Init script for now
- Map
- Entities
Game Class
The interface between the Game and the system (Main.cpp) should do the following
<highlightSyntax language="cpp"> class Game() { public:
Init(); /* This is called before any other Game method */
NewGame(int num_Players); /* Resets the game state to a new game */ Run(); /* Sets the game state into power on/ menu mode */ Play(); /* Sets the game state into game playing mode */ main_event_t Update(); /* This is called once per frame. the return value is used to trigger system events */ Render(); /* The game draws the current frame onto display */
int Get_frame_rate(); /* Returns the Games chosen refresh rate. Main uses this to decide how often to call Update() and Render() */
} </highlightSyntax>
- MAIN_EVENT_EXIT Game saves .cfg and exits
- MAIN_EVENT_PAUSE Game requests system goes into paused mode
- MAIN_EVENT_RESUME Game requests system comes out of paused mode
- MAIN_EVENT_GAME_REINIT Game requests that it be shut down and reinitialised.
- MAIN_EVENT_GAME_ERROR Game requests that it be shut down and an error reported.
- MAIN_EVENT_MENU_SAVEGAME Game requests system savegame manager
- MAIN_EVENT_MENU_LOADGAME Game requests loadgame
- MAIN_EVENT_MENU_KEYBOARD Game requests system keyboard preferences manager
- MAIN_EVENT_MENU_JOYSTICK Game requests system Joystick preferences manager
A list of maps. A list of levels. each level can take place over several maps A game state.
game scripts
Menu Class
Trezker & Matt Smith are making a top level menu system, which will may be configurable by a LUA script

Mig-21. Those words, invoke images in any fighter aircraft lover's mind, of it's sleek , and deadly shape. The mid-mounted characteristic delta wing and tail plane combination, unique in and of itself, and diffuser radome in air intake design, that looked like an engine nacelle with a canopy and flight surfaces added on. I loved it . So much so, that I purchased a scale model of A MiG-21PF published by Revell. At 1/32 scale, it was big, could be decaled as Soviet Air Force or VNAF. Even though I was an adult by then, it didn't stop me from imagining, strapping on one, and taking her up for a 'spin'. The first inkling I had of this legendary Mikoyan Gurevich lightweight fighter was during a casual conversation I had with this other kid, who I can only remember as 'Wendell'. We talked about, the usual stuff; girls, cars, and, who we thought had the best planes, 'the Americans', or 'the Russians'. (the nuance of, 'Soviet', wasn't quite grasped, in the mind of a 13 year old. Not yet, at least.) During the course of the conversation, comparing what we knew, about F-86 vs. Mig-15, or Mig-19 compared to F-100 and so forth,(which was damned little for obvious reasons.), when this other kid, whose name, I can't even remember, casually asked: "Have you heard about the MiG-21?"; followed by; "It's a supersonic delta." At some point we went on our separate ways, home or whatever, but try as I might I couldn't get the idea out of my head, so I started looking for any info I could find. Easier said than done, especially since I had to read every scrap of news I could lay my hands, on and frankly, the 'pickins were slim 'indeed
…I had not up to this point, ever heard of the MiG-21.
It's hard to imagine today with ease of access afforded by the internet, but there was a time when most news out the USSR was severely limited, not just by the USSR, but the U.S. government as well, presumably, because they didn't want their ideological adversary to know how much technical information concerning Russian combat aircraft types, the American military establishment knew. As a result, whatever knowledge I had, was cursory at best, or just plain non existent. So while I knew about Mig-15,-17and -19, I had not up to this point, ever heard of the MiG-21. There were a few publications that offered some insight, one even describing the plane, but no pictures, leaving me to imagine something like the 'Convair Delta Series.'
It wasn't until a couple of years after, that I finally got a glimpse of one in the form of some grainy photos, published by TASS, around the same time that I was beginning to hear stories about air to air engagements with pilots of the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marines, and things were not going well in the air war. not well at all. During the Korean Conflict, American airmen enjoyed a 8 to 1 kill to loss ratio of their opponent the Mig-15, a very well engineered swept-wing design with a powerful 37mm cannon, and that weren't enough, it also had twin 23mm cannon as well, and outperform the North American F-86 Sabre at altitude, and while MiG was superior in many ways, it was slower than the Sabre and lacked an all-moving tail, which put it's pilot at a distinct disadvantage at higher speed regimes. Southeast Asia, however was a different story. Most of us know the reason why, but for the edification of any 'newbies' out there not up to speed on their history, a brief recap:
During the 1950s U.S. Military planners were operating under the premise, that any 'modern' war, would be fought with missiles. The targets would be heavy long-range bombers, and that air to air cannons and dogfighting were a thing of the past. As a result of that thinking, Western fighters, American in particular grew bigger, faster and more complex, in the case of the McDonnell F-4B and 'C' Phantom II, omitted a cannon from the design completely. Russian philosophy proceeded along different lines: simple, small (and thus harder to see) , agile and this is key; a gun for up close and personal. All significantly lower cost per example. A classic an example of 'less is more', as any. All characteristic of the MiG series.
It is difficult to accurately evaluate how this all would have worked out; had the 'cold war', turned hot. That war never happened. The war that did occur caught the U.S. war planners, grossly unprepared for the war that did. Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses , Martin B-57 Canberras , designed for all out nuclear combat, were forced to serve as 'bomb trucks', and the Republic F-105 Thunderchief, which was selected over the North American F-107A, because of it's abililty to carry the B-61 nuclear weapon in an internalized rotary weapons bay(which had to be bolted shut in order to carry conventional 500lb. bombs), and while very fast 'clean' was used to fly daily missions, laden with bombs that had to dropped to maneuver, or to simply escape. ROEs were not very helpful either: 'Don't fire until visual ID.(IFF was not reliable, either.) Parked aircraft were off limits too.
" Kill ratios had deteriorated to plane per plane. "
In the meantime, American pilots were facing a new reality, completely unprepared and untrained for air to air combat. Kill ratios on the U.S. side had deteriorated to plane per plane. A pretty dismal turn of events, amid serious demoralizing losses of planes and pilots that fell to Vietnamese pilots and their MiGs, in addition to ground fire. The Americans eventually, were able get their proverbial feet and were able to regain the air initiative, to some degree. But even so, North Vietnamese MiG-21Fs , continued to claim air to air victories over just about every American type in theater during the war. Since that time, the ubiquitous fighter has seen action in nearly every corner of the globe in a number of variants, with in over 60 nations, and a fair number of them, including the MiG-21Bis, are still in operational service in a number of nations some 60 years since the first example first lifted into the air on 16 June 1955. The operational history of the aircraft is way too extensive to be encompassed in this article, but there are plenty of books out there. The Mig-21Bis, by Leatherneck Simulations, the subject of Digital Combat Simulator's 'high fidelity' 'study' simulation, is based on the last variant built of the type . This simulation puts a breath into that old fantasy about flying this bird. It's closer than I dared dream was possible back at the time I purchased that scale model, though Leatherneck's creation is of a newer and more capable Mig-21, and that's just fine with me. Ironically, it was the Indian Air Force's requirements for a more advanced version of their current platform of the time, that were the driving force behind the development of this particular variant in the form of the Mig-21Bison, with it's updated avionic suit and curved windscreen, ( a distinct departure from other MiG-21s in service) in much the same way as the Sukhoi SU-30MKI was the baseline for Russia's 'new' SU-30SM, and even though the IAF is currently in the process of replacing most with more sophisticated types, I'm sure the ground technicians will really miss them, for their ruggedness and simplicity. Despite that, other nations, even some Eastern European ones such a Croatia and Serbia , still rely on the type for their defense needs and some nations, such as Israel offer a refitted version call the 'Lancer Series MiG-21', operated by the Romanian Air Force. Bottom line: this warplane will probably be around for a while. Perhaps the greatest legacy of the Mig-21 and all it's 'brethren', is that if not for it, there might never have been such a thing as an F-16 "Viper." Think on that. I do.

Forest Bathing and a Walk Through Milner Gardens & Woodlands
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and gently sway from side to side feeling the breeze on your skin. Hear the sounds of the forest, a creaking tree nearby or the trills of a chickadee. What do you smell? Red cedar, coastal douglas fir or perhaps the moisture in the air after a short rainfall. You are invited to begin a unique and special forest bathing experience that is part meditation part forest walk.
This is just one of the amazing outdoor adventure walks you can do near Parksville, BC. As part of my relax and rejuvenate weekend at Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Resort with my Mom I've scheduled two nature walks for us to take. One at Milner Gardens & Woodlands where we will explore the former woodlands and gardens of Veronica Milner. For our second nature adventure, we will take part in forest bathing with Pacific Raincoast Adventure Tours. A tour company that specializes in showcasing the wonders out our back door on Vancouver Island, no matter if you are 30 or 70 years of age.
We begin the first of our two nature walks at Milner Gardens which is located near Qualicum Beach. 60-acres of woodland and 10 acres of garden that are so well known around the world that Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and Princess Diana have all visited. While my Mom and I may not be that illustrious they will now be able to add our names to the visitor list.
After paying our entrance fee we begin our walk. Which way to go? Should we explore the woodland trails or go straight to the gardens and Milner House? Easy we can do both as all trails lead to Milner House.
At the entrance to the gardens is a lovely gift & coffee shop. I filled up my travel mug while my Mom went to explore the reflection pool and nursery. DYK that Milner Gardens was given in two land grants to Vancouver Island University in 1996 and 1999. Many of the staff working in the gardens will be wearing VIU shirts.
The gardens are famous in part for the massive collection of Rhododendrons planted by Veronica Milner from around the world. They aren't my favourite plant but the variety and colour diversity represented here is quite impressive.
What I loved most was walking amongst the coastal Douglas Fir trees. Some of which line the cliffs that overlook the Strait of Georgia.
Our final stop is Milner House where I have also booked us in for a Cream Tea, that is tea and scones if you don't speak Brit.
Our second nature adventure is a completely different experience and it is called forest bathing. What the hell is forest bathing? It is not swimming in a pool in the forest. It is not a nudist exploration weaving wildflowers and twigs into a temporary crown either. It is 100% about being present and absorbing the richness of nature around you.
This is the healing way of Shinrin-yoku Forest Therapy, the medicine of simply being in the forest. Shinrin-yoku is a term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.
Gary & Ronda Murdock, founders of Pacific Raincoast Adventure Tours, pick my Mom and me up from Tigh-Na-Mara Resort. Our destination is the Heritage Forest of Qualicum Beach.
I have never been forest bathing before so I have to admit I don't know what to expect. Gary and Ronda give us a quick run through of what to expect. A lot of silence, listening and breathing. This is not a hike through the forest, rather it is a slow and leisurely exploration of everything our five senses can pick up from around us.
Took a break this afternoon and enjoying a healing and meditative Forest Bathing walk in @parksvillequalicumbeach #mypqb #meditation #forest
Now that we know what to expect we start with the first of five "invitations". Each invitation challenges us to call on our senses and to be present. After each invitation, we slowly move to the next invitation point. No talking allowed.
As we journey from invitation to invitation you can really start to sense new things. A woodpecker far off in the distance, the rustling of leaves as the wind passes through them and a far-off creek trickling its way over rocks and organic material that has fallen to the forest floor.
You are encouraged to touch as you go. Like feeling the bark on this coastal Douglas Fir tree. Look at the colour variations and the layers.
After our last invitation, we arrive back where we started. Gary has moved ahead of us and set up a tea station with fresh "tea" made up of fresh shoots collected from our walk through the forest. Believe it or not, it is quite refreshing and tastes very nice.
I am in a complete state of zen.
These are two very different nature experiences, but both are wonderful. If forest bathing is not for you doing fret. Gary and Rondo have plenty more nature adventures available for you to choose from. Just ask.

Love and hate are constant components of my everyday life. For instance, had my last weekend been a book, its title would have probably been The Emotional Yoyo, a Tale of Mood Swings. Not that I'm pregnant, it's just that my humors change quite often, unfortunately.
Bearing that in mind, here's my list of 2 things I hate, 1 I love:
2 Things I hate
- waking up early (the key to bad mood);
- being forced to be happy in the morning (when meeting clients, for example).
1 Thing I love
- having long breakfast any day of the week.
I had a lovely dream about my ex-boyfriend (not sexual, though). That also cheers me up quite a bit.

Mikasa Foods wheeling and dealing in tainted rice began as early as January 2007, but the countrys farm ministry says it was not able to specifically identify illegalities until a few weeks ago.
Tainted rice dealings began 1½ years ago, officials learn
Date Posted: 2008-10-03
The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister has appeared before the Diet to explain how the rice scandal began, and how it was finally uncovered. I would like to deeply apologize to consumers and the public, Minister Seiichi Ota says, for causing concern and trouble over the illegal distribution of tainted rice. Ota told the Diet hearings that after his ministry first suspected problems, inspections were increased.
A total of 96 inspections had been made at Mikasa Foods since 2004, but the coverup was well in place. It goes without saying that the illegal activities by Mikasa Foods and other companies were outrageous. Mikasa Foods has admitted it purchased non-edible rice from the Japanese government at very low prices, then turned around and sold it as edible rice to bakeries and distilleries at a large profit.
The fallout continues daily, with more companies admitting they were victims. A food processing firm says supermarkets and convenience stores in eight prefectures sold about 102,000 rice balls with pesticide residue or toxic mold , while Kyoto City says more than 5,254 school lunches at 47 junior high schools were served with tainted rice. In Osaka, 5,800 packages of herbal medicines have been recalled because of possible starch in the products made with the bad rice.

Until .NET 4.0 it was impossible to reliably create Windows Shell Extensions using .NET code. With improvements to the framework, it is now possible to use .NET to create these .Net shell extensions.
Shell Context Menus are COM servers that are registered in the system that allow the context menus of shell objects to be extended. This could be the context menu for a specific file type, such as *.txt files, file classes such as 'text files', drives, folders and more. The context menus can be used to provide advanced functionality that can be accessed quickly through Windows Explorer. For example you can create a Shell Extension that allows you to count the lines in any text file by right clicking on it and choosing 'Count Lines'.

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) is a full-scope, premium hemp cultivation and branding enterprise focused on the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp for the purpose of extracting cannabidiol (CBD). With more than 25 years of experience in agricultural science and innovation, Green Hygienics aims to become one of the largest providers of industrial hemp-derived CBD products in North America.
Green Hygienics' business model includes generating revenues from the sale of hemp and premium-grade CBD products, creating trusted global consumer brands, developing valuable intellectual property (IP) and growing rapidly through strategic acquisitions.
Innovation – the Future of Commercial Cultivation
The greatest challenge of the hemp industry is determining how to deliver a safe and premium-quality product on a consistent basis; antiquated production methods are riddled with recalls and are unsafe from a cultivation production standpoint. Green Hygienics' solution is to employ scientific methodology combined with sustainable farm practices to achieve optimal soil refinement. The company's objectives are to produce higher yields and a superior product on a consistent basis to always remain compliant through diligent testing. A secure, premium-quality supply chain is the foundation for the company's operations.
Green Hygienics' cultivation approach is based on scientific measurements and data analysis, which transform the cultivation environment into a laboratory environment to deliver superior product.
State-of-the-Art Processing
Processing hemp to produce the finest-quality CBD is a complex, multistage process that should be performed with adherence to the highest standards. Once harvested, the hemp must be carefully handled, dried and stored to prepare it for CBD extraction. Each and every step must be given full care and attention. Green Hygienics' ambition is to create state-of-the-art infrastructure, employ the latest large-scale processing technologies and adhere to strict quality management systems.
The company strives to constantly develop innovations in industrial hemp for CBD cultivation and to create solutions that lower costs, deliver higher yields and address the challenges of large-scale production.
Brand Development, Marketing and Direct Sales
One of the core drivers of the Green Hygienics business model is to develop or acquire unique brands with global distribution potential and leverage vertical integration. The company sees the market becoming increasingly competitive, and establishing Green Hygienics' own distinct, trusted brands will be important. By controlling its own supply chain, the company can also leverage strategic advantages in the marketplace, such as the ability to deliver a "best in class" product on a consistent basis. Successful branding is demonstrated by a positive response to a company's customer service, reputation and products, and Green Hygienics Holdings is acutely aware of the value in this.
Ahead of the Curve
The clear competitive advantage Green Hygienics holds over industry peers is cultivating premium product within the upper-scale product category more efficiently than anyone else in the industry. Currently, the average-size hemp farm in North America is 9 acres. Green Hygienics' recent acquisition of the Potrero Ranch property consists of 824 acres plus over 400,000 square feet of greenhouse and outbuilding space. This is the largest farm of its kind in North America and the company directly addresses the challenge of scalability through its farming methodology.
The company's objective is to produce the highest quality of product at a lower cost and to deliver this product to consumers without exception.
In today's market, inefficient companies and those that produce an inferior product will become vulnerable or disappear, adding considerable value to companies like Green Hygienics that efficiently innovate and operate. The premium hemp market will continue to achieve higher pricing, and the demand will stabilize. At the end of the day, successful branding backed by superior product will cause companies like Green Hygienics to rise above the competition.
Companies within the hemp sector, states and lawmakers are still figuring out how legislation, consumer demand and innovations will shape the industry. As a safeguard and for long-term resilience, Green Hygienics is preparing for the next plateau with proprietary cultivation and processing systems and tightly controlled growth environments that enable containment of production costs, delivery of higher yields and production of a premium product. These margins will provide the company with a strategic advantage within an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Green Hygienics is constantly studying the market dynamics in North America and abroad and anticipates that both the domestic and international markets will appreciate and be willing to pay a premium to those companies that can deliver best-in-class products.
In line with this expectation, the company's additional objectives are to secure investment, enhance its balance sheet and increase its value through profitable operations as well as through acquiring and owning the real estate or land it builds upon. Over the long term, this will help Green Hygienics grow in value, provide leverage for rapid expansion and offer security for investors. The company will be positioned to capitalize on any opportunity within the industry or to acquire distressed assets, which is part of its growth strategy.
Green Hygienics plans to establish lead brands starting in the California market, to secure trademarks, and to develop and secure intellectual property assets with regard to cultivation and processing.
Investment Considerations
- Cultivates premium product within the upper-scale product category more efficiently than most in the industry and addresses the scalability challenge, giving the company a clear competitive advantage over industry peers.
- Acquired and began immediate cultivation on an extraordinary 824-acre property which includes 400,000 square feet of greenhouse. It is on target to become cashflow-positive in 2020.
- In the wake of hemp's removal from the federal list of Schedule I controlled substances, GRYN is well-positioned for exponential growth within the U.S. hemp market.
- The global industrial hemp market is projected to grow from USD $4.6 billion in 2019 to USD $26.6 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 34%.

Public organization «Renewable Energy Agency» together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) organized on July 5-6, 2016 the seminar "Environmental, social and economic assessment of bioenergy projects using BEFS OLT (agricultural residues)". The seminar was attended by about 60 participants, including existing and potential owners of bioenergy projects, representatives of funding organizations, research institutions and consulting companies.
The Bioenergy and Food Security Operator Level Tool (BEFS OLT) (agricultural residues) was developed within the project "Supporting Public and Private Sector Capacities in Sustainable Agricultural and Bioenergy Investments", under the collaborative agreement between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN FAO) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The main purpose of the BEFS OLT (agricultural residues) tool is initial screening of bioenergy projects as to assess their environmental, social and economic performance. Hence, the assessment results provide an indication of the projects' strengths and weaknesses and support decision making about further developments.
All participants ran an initial assessment using BEFS OTL agricultural residues tool to get an indication about environmental and social performance of the project for the following agricultural residues value chains:
- Crop residue value chain.
- Livestock residue value chain
Presentaions of the seminar (in Ukrainian) are available at REA's website

Winter is on the way and we're feeling grey and drizzly in London. But the autumn leaves are ready to play and a big pile of them are inside our very own Hanbury Street window, waiting to be sent spinning into the air by people passing by.
We've filled the window with thousands of colourful paper leaves (and yes, each leaf had to be folded then stapled...).
To bring them to life, we used
Kinect sensors, pressure pads, better pressure pads, good old motion sensors linked to small fans, big fans, more big fans, "really big fans imported from Germany".
Just step on the ground in front of the window and watch the leaves dance in a gust of autumn wind. Whoooooooosh!
The more you move outside, the harder it blows inside.
Massive thanks to all the people involved, Studio Boo for the friendly paper leaves and for some really cool ideas that we couldn't afford to make, and Karmer, the set designers for building/changing/fixing/
changing again the whole thing.

Many private-sector businesses have started building chatbots into their products to improve customer service. Facebook users interact with a chatbot to order flowers, and Slack has made it easy to use build and launch customized bots on its platform.
In government, where customer service sometimes must cover to the nation's whole population, chatbots are being eyed as way to improve citizen-facing services and automate simple, repetitive employee tasks.
The North Carolina Innovation Center, which tests technology that will improve customer service and make government more customer friendly, wants to use chatbots to both provide basic IT help to employees and make it easier for citizens to reach the services they require.
When private tech companies started talking about chatbots earlier this year, North Carolina Chief Technology and Innovation Officer Eric Ellis became excited about the technology's potential for state government.
A group at the Innovation Center has been looking at specific use cases for about three months, and Deante' Tyler, the deputy director of the Innovation Center, said there are two main areas where chatbots could be used.
"First, we're looking to, as a government, improve the lines of communication we have between the public sector and our citizens. Chatbots will be a new platform for engaging our citizens," he explained. And second, chatbots can provide the self-service options that citizens and state employees alike desire.
The center's first project, which Ellis said could go live within a few months, is a chatbot for employees who need IT help -- to recover lost or forgotten passwords or usernames, for example. The state gets thousands of simple tickets like this every day, and they would be easy to resolve with a chatbot that had the right information, Tyler said.
But the crew at the Innovation Center wants to be sure the technology is streamlined and thoroughly tested before launching any chatbot. "We're just being cautious before rolling it out into a full project," Ellis said.
This means finding the right platform and testing it. For internal use, the staff is working with Slack, which they think could be a good platform for the employee help desk, Ellis said. But for more citizen-facing applications, a mobile app or a web-accessible chatbot might be best.
The internal help desk chatbot will likely be rolled out first, Ellis said, because the Innovation Center wants to road-test the technology and ensure it can deliver a good user experience before putting it in front of citizens. This mean using natural language recognition technology and taking into account the different ways people could ask questions. While natural language processing might be more expensive, it is the "secret sauce" to making a chatbot work, Ellis said.
And any chatbot's success will depend on the quality of the interactions, he said. Poor implementation could mean losing users, something they hope to avoid. As the Innovation Center experiments with the chatbot, the team will collect data that will help it fix problems at the source or just look at ways to improve the product, Tyler said.
Others have seen the potential for chatbots in government. At a June discussion hosted by the General Services Administration, federal agency and industry experts suggested bots could answer questions related to taxes or improve accessibility to services for people with disabilities or speakers of foreign languages.

There are very few things in life which come close to going on a long drive with soothing melodies being played in the background. If you are a music enthusiast and appreciate good music, you certainly know the need of having good audiophile system installed in your car.

Their matching, dancing style and costume was legendary, which really depicts that of kings and queens. The governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha was super excited for the team that took the first position, and he quickly promised to give them 10 million naira, and also promised to take them to the next Calabar carnival.
A victory party was held in their honour on Thursday, 22nd December, evening at the Deputy Governors lodge. It was really an awesome outing. Chatting with our journalist about the carnival, Queen Lilian expressed great thanks to God for guiding them through all their preparatory stage and for eventually clinching the trophy, which was a handsome reward of hard work. Surely, hard work pays great dividends.

UK Steel reward for engineering firm's turnover turnaround
23 Oct 2018
A Yorkshire based precision engineering specialist is on course to increase turnover by 15% after the award of £100,000 from UK Steel Enterprise.
The Tata Steel subsidiary provided the investment to Swallownest Engineering to support the firm's ambitious growth plans which will see total turnover top £2.2 million – an increase of £500,000 over the last two years.
Joint owner Mike Smith commented: "We are delighted to have received this investment from UK Steel Enterprise which has immediately helped us to drive the business forward. By increasing our cash flow, we have been able to appoint extra employees who have increased efficiency and productivity."
The award comes at the end of a 12 year period that saw the Rotherham firm fight back from the devastating loss of its major customer, when the client closed its production facilities in nearby Sheffield and moved its order book to Finland.
By increasing our cash flow, we have been able to appoint extra employees who have increased efficiency and productivity
Mike Smith, co-owner, Swallownest Engineering
Allan Wood, of UK Steel Enterprise praised Smith and his co-owners Steve Sample and Ian McCrossan for rebuilding the firm after the withdrawal left them with a £1.5 million loss in turnover in 2006.
The award from UK Steel Enterprise which provides equity and loan finance to growing companies, has allowed Swallownest Engineering to hire three engineering specialists to bring the current staff to 26, with plans to appoint more machine workers.
Added Smith: "UK manufacturing output is at its highest for ten years, which has helped us to maintain our recent progress and with the support of the UK Steel Enterprise funding, we are confident we can continue on our upward trajectory."

Last week Sarah from the fantastic Shout Louder blog announced that we would be doing some blog shares. I went first, with a wonderfully written column for her blog about why I love punk rock which you can read here. This week Sarah gives her views on the subject on Colin's Punk Rock World.
Top 5 Reasons To Love DIY Punk
When I was a kid I read Kerrang and the NME religiously. They'd often refer to 'the music scene' – something I desperately wanted to be a part of. I used to imagine this mythical 'scene' meant big bands, big venues and big record sales.
Nowadays, I realise that it isn't about the bands or the sales: it's about the fans. It's about the people who buy the records, attend the shows and scream along to the lyrics. I also now know that you'd struggle to find a group with more passionate solidarity that the UK punk scene.
When I first started writing my blog/zine, Shout Louder, my family and colleagues said that they'd learned a lot about DIY punk from reading it. I was really surprised. I'd forgotten that for many people, 'going to a gig' conjures up images of Ed Sheeran, Oasis or Radiohead selling out Wembley.
So, when Colin and I talked about doing a guest-blog swap the first thing I wanted to talk about what how much I love the vibrant 'scene' that we're a part of.
Here are my Top 5 Reasons For Loving DIY Punk:
#5: The Music Itself
This is the obvious one, right? Maybe not.
When I tell my colleagues I'm into punk, I'm fairly sure they imagine me spiking up my hair and pogo-ing to The Sex Pistols. Guess what? I can't stand The Sex Pistols.
Although it's important to know your roots, there's an astounding diversity of sub-genres that I would still term 'punk'. I like hardcore that borders on tech-metal; I like singer-songwriters that would work well at a folk festival; I love shouty ska, loaded with brass.
I'd argue that musically punk is always fast, often angry and usually loud, but beyond that it defies definition. I consider indie groups like The Smith Street Band to be punk, but someone outside the scene could easily disagree.
I love all the variations out there, and I love the openness of most punk fans to different genres. From my perspective, the fast, angry nature of the music reflects and acts as an outlet for my internal worries. It's hard to drift into a nihilistic reverie when you're moshing to deathly-fast, grinding hardcore! Listening to this music live is a huge release and endlessly enjoyable.
#4: It's Not About The Money
The DIY scene has a strong grasp of what music is for. It's about how it makes you feel; it's not a vehicle for profit.
Naturally there are exceptions to that, and I'll never hold it against a band for making it big. You occasionally find yourself forking out £30 for shows at Brixton Academy, but at a grassroots level there are a lot of musicians playing just for the hell of it.
My perception of this has changed. When I was younger, I assumed that the £3 gigs at my local pub would be crap compared to the £20 gigs I attended in the big city. My Mum always told me that you get what you pay for.
Instead, I've come to realise it's the intimate shows that are the most memorable. The calibre of the music is usually excellent and you experience a lot more of the performance when there are only 30 people in the room.
Touring bands survive on petrol money and free beers, trying to flog enough t-shirts to afford a fry up in the morning. As they're working so hard to bring us what we love, I'm also inclined to pay them more for it. When I first attended a gig where they were asking for donations rather than charging and entry fee I baulked - why would anyone pay more than they needed to? I've since realised that, many people will pay over-the-odds for a show if you give them the opportunity.
#3: Compassion and Ethics
"This one's about the government!" yet another singer angrily shouts.
Virtually all the punk bands and fans out there are anti-establishment, anti-fascist, anti-sexist, anti-racist... Anti-everything, right? Wrong.
While punks are united by a love of liberal politics and loud noises, the thing that sets us apart is that we really see the best in people. We're optimists at heart. We believe it's possible to change the world into a better place.
The anger that gives punk music its edge also fuels a constant quest for social change. Bands speak up for what they believe in on stage. Fans organise marches and protests, make the banners and cook the food.
Our level of compassion goes far beyond occasionally helping up someone who's fallen over in the pit. Many of us avoid eating animal products, wear ethically sourced clothes and buy direct from bands or local record stores. One of the topics most often topics at gigs is making spaces safer, so women and marginalised groups can attend without fear of harassment or injury. Many bands openly discuss depression and mental health in an effort to normalise what for many of us is a common problem.

#2: No Borders
I've referenced 'band' and 'fans' as separate entities. Unlike more popular genres, that division doesn't exist in the punk scene.
As a punter, there's no reason you can't go chat to someone who's in your favourite band. Or put on a show. Or start your own band. It's a level playing field where everyone's encouraged to get involved.
If you really want to ignore the band-to-fan borders there's also every opportunity to get on stage, as long as you hurl yourself straight off again: stagediving is a hallmark of many shows. And who says the band need to stay up there? They're diving off like the rest of us, or jumping past the monitors to cause chaos in the pit. You can't do that at Wembley, can you?
Half the crowd at a punk gig are also in their own bands, which encourages a great culture of exchange. You put on touring bands in your town, and they return the favour next time your band's on the road. Everyone promotes and supports one another – there's so much shared love and excitement that many shows turn into a big bundle of hugs.
#1: Camaraderie
It's a rainy Tuesday night in Camden. I've bumbled along to a £4 show at Our Black Heart on my own, on the off chance that the band will be half-decent. Oh no, wait, I know the guy on the door. I recognise the girl in the band. And that's the guy I met at Wonkfest standing out the front smoking. As it turns out, I know at least 15 people here.
Want to make some instant friends? Turn up to a punk gig, the smaller the better. Be sure to smile at the guy wearing the Bear Trade t-shirt, and compliment the girl with the Descendents patch. A band t-shirt can be enough to spark a life-long friendship, a festival romance, or at the very least an interesting chat while queuing for the bar.
It's such a close-knit scene that it's not unusual to see friends from Manchester at a gig in London, or friends from Brighton at a festival in Slovenia. Everyone's willingness to travel for the music they love means it's possible to gain a lot of friends, simply from bumping into them at gigs.
The best thing about being a part of this DIY world is that you'll never be short of a floor to sleep on, a vegan breakfast or someone to share a warm can of lager with, as long as you return the favour.
I don't have any pretensions about being an authority on punk: I'm just someone who really loves going to gigs. That's why I started writing Shout Louder – it's a platform to share my excitement about up-and-coming bands, and to preserve the memories of all the mind-blowing gigs I'm lucky enough to see.
If gig guides, reviews, recommendations and articles interest you, check out the blog and follow us on Facebook.
In the meantime, I'll see you down the front!

Just returned from Fandom Fest in Louisville. That was a fun convention but due to organizational issues, the literary track was seriously under-attended. While there were at least ten thousand people there for the con, the organizers didn't have a cohesive guide or schedule for any of it and the authors were somewhat shunted off away from the main thoroughfare so that there wasn't even the possibility of lookee-loos. I mean, a Q&A panel with John Scalzi with ten attendees? Or one with Richard Kadrey with nine? Not to mention my panels.
EDITED TO ADD: I think Stephen Zimmer did a fantastic job putting together a great list of authors and exciting panels. I just think the event organizers sabotaged that through a lack of foresight and planning.
So it was an expensive trip for naught. A wash-out, really. But I met a lot of really great folks, especially Delilah Dawson, Robert A. Palmer and Jonathan Latt. The last two were my boys during the weekend and we hung pretty tight. Robert's film, People of Earth screened there. It was by far the best film I saw that weekend. I also had the opportunity to reacquaint myself with Maurice Broaddus and Brady Allen.
So, if you didn't already know, This Dark Earth, released on July 3rd into the wilds of booksellerdom. Feel free to visit this page and get yourself a copy from your preferred vendor. I've received ecstatic reviews from Booklist, Library Journal, and Kirkus. I hope the sales begin to match the praise.
Next week, I'm off to San Diego Comic Con for five days. Hopefully, this convention will yield more results than Fandom Fest. If you're attending you can check out the panel I'm moderating here and find out how to get to it.
It should be quite fun.
I'm approaching the end to the second novel in my young adult trilogy, Incarcerado. As always, it's difficult to do all the things I have to do to my characters because, of course, I love them and they're part of me. On the other hand, I gotta put them through hell.
I'm gonna try and make bloggery more. Hopefully I'll have some big news in the coming days. It's possible. Everything is possible.
Later, taters.

The chocolate cake was sumptuous
Posted by Pi on January 31, 2009
Our picture does not do it justice:
I tried l'Ultime Atome's chocolate cake (~5 euros) the other day, and it was extremely good. The flavors and textures hit pleasure central somewhere between tasting like an American brownie and a smooth and rich Belgian chocolate mousse. The vanilla sauce wasn't even necessary. I'd go for this again, for sure.

Community Health Centers Plan for Expansion Due to Federal Health Law
MIAMI, Fla. - Community Health Centers are often referred to as the "family doctors." They've been around for over 45 years, but now they are set to expand their quality and cost-effective care to more communities - thanks to the federal health care reform law.
Brodes Hartley, Jr., president and CEO of Community Health of South Florida, says it means more people will have access to health services all under one roof, with more choices and a regular place where they can go for care.
"When we have a home to take care of your social needs, you need that medical home to take care of all your health care needs. With a medical home, you become a part of a family; this is your home."
Community Health Centers are not only going to be key in health reform for their services, but because the model saves money. Hartley explains that treating people before they get so ill they require hospital care is expected to save the U.S. health care system up to $300 million over the next 10 years.
"For those persons receiving health services through our community health centers, the total cost of health care is significantly lower, because they use fewer emergency-room and hospital services."
Community Health Centers accept patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. More than $1 billion is going to centers nationwide this fall so they can expand facilities and staff to help meet primary care needs as more people enter the health system under federal reform.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on an issue I am having:
We have a situation where TV1 and TV2 are suffering form bad reception whereas when jumping to other channels the others all work fine.
When looking at the signal information the bit errors jump through the roof on the TV1/2 whereas the others just seem to truck along with no errors whatsoever.
Same is happening on both TV's in the house (using the same signal feed). Its a terrestrial feed from Waitakere Ranges.
I would have thought if one channel is getting a dodgy signal then they all would be suffering.
I rescanned the channel listings last night - which made no difference at all - was stabbing in the dark for ideas.
Any ideas as to what in the world is going on?

International conference on counter-terrorism to open in Buenos Aires
On the 25th anniversary of the AMIA Jewish Center bombing in Buenos Aires, Argentine President Mauricio Macri is slated to open an international conference on counter-terrorism.
This will be a commemoration of the 85 people murdered and more than 300 who were wounded that July 18, 1994.
However, over the proceedings looms the specter of the 86th victim, a personal friend, prosecutor Alberto Nisman, gunned down in the early morning of January 18, 2015.
That morning, Nisman was due to present findings of a lengthy investigation into the atrocity to the Argentine Congress.
"Hamas leader, Fathi Hammad, calls on Palestinians living abroad to go out and slaughter and kill Jews."
"On the 25th anniversary of the Iranian controlled Hizbollah AMIA Buenos Aires Jewish Centre bombing, leaving 85 dead and over 300 wounded, both Hamas and Hizbollah must be banned worldwide for 'warrant for genocide'. Otherwise, Islamists across Europe and the Americas will respond to the call for their Jihadist 'martyrdom'," concluded Samuels.
Paris, 14 July 2019
Simon Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr.Shimon Samuels, claimed that Hamas leader, Fathi Hammad, Friday 12 July public speech calling for "all Palestinians living abroad to go out and slaughter and kill Jews", was a 'Fatwa for Genocide'.
"Article 15 of the Hamas Charter, since its inception, has made a similar threat," noted the Centre.

A general view of the UNESCO headquarters in Paris (photo Reuters).
As the 11-day World Heritage Committee (WHC) in Baku winds down, it behooves us to review Jewish-related issues in the context of a UNESCO without the United States and Israel as members.
Of course, the perennial resolutions of Jordan and the Palestinians in Item 7 on "The Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls" and "Hebron/Al-Khalil with the Cave of the Patriarchs" have become banners in the battlefield of heritage.
Their cause had, however, become tempered among the Arab group and the larger number of Muslim member states:
"Jordanian fears of a Saudi takeover of the Custodianship for Jerusalem Holy sites, together with Palestinian suspicion of U.S. support for Riyadh, seemed to have split the UNESCO Arab group, thus permitting the so-called 'depoliticization' of the scheduled Jerusalem and Hebron resolutions – as insisted by the firm Azerbaijan Minister of Culture and Chairman of the Committee."
"Even if non-binding and adopted without debate or vote, the very passage of these resolutions scapegoats the Jewish heritage and are an insult to the Jewish people" ... "The resolutions will reappear at the Paris meetings of the UNESCO Executive Board in October and the General Assembly in November."
Baku, Azerbaijan, 5 July 2019
Dr. Shimon Samuels with Dr. Abulfas Garayev, Azerbaijan Minister of Culture
and Chair of Baku World Heritage Committee.
Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations and Chief Observer to UNESCO, Dr. Shimon Samuels, directed the following statement to the UNESCO Secretariat:
"My last intervention at the World Heritage Committee was two years ago in Crakow, when I found myself in the company of a former Mayor of Hebron. He had reportedly murdered six Talmudic students in the Cave of the Patriarchs.
Paris, 2 July 2019
On Sunday 30 June, in the presence of Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Leon and representatives of the Jewish, Catholic, Protestant and Coptic Christian communities, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo dedicated the Jerusalem Square.
The square's location is in the growingly Jewish 17th district - the destination of Jewish families fleeing from Islamist-dense suburbs north of Paris.
Mayor Leon stressed his vision of a multifaith Jerusalem at peace with one another.
Mayor Hidalgo responded that, as a World Heritage site, the Holy City was sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims. She noted that Paris had had a Jerusalem Street since the Middle Ages, which was built over in 1883 to make room for the Courthouse.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal (EAC) is a rare and unusual entity with an incidence of 0.2% cases of all head and neck carcinomas has been reported in the literature, and even fewer describe bilateral tumors. Its clinical presentation is similar to chronic otitis media or otitis externa. Hence, the diagnosis often delayed. Early diagnosis is directly related to the prognosis of the patient. The surgical treatment is a challenging task for the experienced skull base surgeon. Here, we report a case of metachronous bilateral EAC carcinoma in a 33-year-old male. The gap between the development of left and right side carcinoma is 3 years.
Keywords: Bilateral, external auditory canal, metachronous, squamous cell carcinoma

Leanne!! You are so funny, you could be a comedian!! I absolutely LOVE your articles, it is so wonderful to read someone kicking autoimmune's butt!! LOL Attack of the autoimmunes starring Leanne Donaldson as June Cleaver/Satan!! Love it!! These diseases really do suck, and they say laughter is the best medicine, My husband actually asked me, 'what is so funny'? He didn't get the humor like I do, but that is ok, YOU are the star, and I 'get' you! Thanks so much for all your articles, and laughs! God bless!!
LOL @imschmarte 🙂 You totally made my day! It's okay, my husband doesn't get my humor either. Thank you so much for your sweet comments. We sure are lucky to have such a strong supportive community to rely on, aren't we? Sending big (gentle) hugs to you! God bless you too! -Leanne
PdA is my second round of chronic pain issue and this started somewhere around a year ago and I have known what it is for about 2 months. I often tell people that ask that I am basically a medical misfit! I survived an acute form of childhood leukemia and thought I got to live a normal life once I made it past 17. Got married when I was 21 to a wonderful man. When it comes to love I won the huge jackpot lottery! Around our 1st Anniversary the left side of my jaw started dislocating. I have TMJ disfunction in a state that pretty much considers it to be a fake issue. I've had 3 jaw joint replacements and several reconstitutions 1st. The reconstruction before the 1st replacement was the point where I was told I was going to have to stay on prescribed pain meds because there was just to much damage. Our daughter was only 5. I worried so so much about how this was going to effect her!!! I honestly worried that she would think when I had a really bad day and has not able to function the way a Mom should she would think Mommy is mean or Mommy is lazy. Today is her 23rd Birthday! She grew into an amazing woman and I am super proud of her. Leasons she learned! Never take anything for granite. Do everything you can and enjoy it as much as possible because nobody is guaranteed what tomorrow brings. She pretty much grew up right at my elbow and to be honest I was super worried when she went off to college! She had only ever stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's once and it did not go well. I thought we would maybe make the 2 hour drive home and she would be so home sick she would want to come home but she thrived. Some of the poetry she has written sounds like a much older person wrote it because she learned well that every moment is special even the ones where we are miserable can still allow us to see and hear amazing things as long as we don't ignore the world around us! Leanna I am sure you probably worry about many of the same things I did about raising your children while struggling with this but they will learn lessons that you might not have thought to teach them If you were spending all of your time rushing in the hussel and bussel that seems to keep people going at an insane pase in our modern times!
Hi, Leanne, I have thousands of little pins sticking into my hands and feet, and I think oh no here we go,I know a flare is coming within hours, there bam all those blisters erupt over both hands and feet, pain starts to kick in, and I am feeling sicker than a bad headache, Nobody knows the hell we go through, DWP said it's a rash, I think come here cretin and try some of it, bad experiences have made me a monster, I don't even know why I have this, I am the only one in my family. and feel like a leper.
This is so on target. This could have been wrote by me ♥

Lunch Atop a Skyscraper
A lego reconstruction of the famous 1932 photograph "Lunch atop a skyscraper" taken by Charles Ebbets
Original : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lunch-atop-a-skyscraper-c1932.jpg
Lighting Info: The main light was a Nikon SB-28 on 1/64 power mounted on a lightstand in a shoot through brolly about 2 feet to camera left positioned slightly above the workers.
The background was lit with an SB-24 on 1/16 power with a piece of white sheet over it to being the power down even more.
The idea was to get an outdoor look to the light, which meant a big soft lightsource. The umbrella is about as close as it can be without blowing out the scene at f2.8.
