How Manitoba grain makes the perfect vodka
On Thursday, September 14 your Winnipeg Chamber kicks off our Member MeetUp series – an evolution of our former Chapters program where we invite members to network at member locations.
Our first host is Jason Kang, the founder of Winnipeg's only craft spirit maker Capital K Distillery.
We asked him to share his advice to young entrepreneurs, plus how he gets the taste of the Prairies into his products.
The Winnipeg Chamber: What spirits do you make – and how are they infused with the taste of Manitoba?
Jason Kang: We have our base alcohol – vodka – which we make from 100 per cent all natural Manitoba grain. Manitoba has really good grain, especially wheat. It gives you that extra creamy, sweet, fruity taste you can't get from anywhere else.
Most vodkas are made from potato. It tends to be "rougher" tasting compared to the wheat-rye blend we use, which forms a milder base.
We started making Tall Grass Vodka because it doesn't have an aging process, so we could sell it right away for a cash flow. We're also already making Tall Grass gin, which is made from our vodka. The biggest gin producers making it from neutral spirits they purchase from other companies, but since we already have the equipment and are already making the vodka, we're just using the same base spirit for the gin.
Normally gin is very dry and piney, but our gin is not – it's almost a fruity, refreshing gin.
WC: What led you to open a craft distillery
JK: I was a homebrewer back then in the day, making beer and wine at home, at the time I was in university. I did have two part-time jobs, I made decent money, but compared to what we were drinking at the time it wasn't enough. Basically we found a way to reduce the cost of our liquor, which was home making. That was six or seven years ago.
WC: What's the biggest challenge you've had to overcome?
JK: The general public in Manitoba, don't have this concept of crafting spirits – we're just starting to get familiar with crafting beers. So for us, it's hard to get our name out there because people have never thought of local distilleries and so they're not looking for it. We need more customers to know about us first and then people to start asking questions.
WC: What advice do you have for entrepreneurs who are starting out?
JK: People always say passion is what gets you into business. But passion will only carry you so far – at the end of the day you need patience. Patience will keep you going.
You can connect with Jason Kang, tour Capital K Distillery and network with other Winnipeg Chamber members on Thursday, September 14. Tickets are only $10 and space is limited.

Strengthening leadership skills in a remote environment
Post contributed by: Candace Synchyshyn, CPHR Candidate While every people leader likely describes their role somewhat differently, some of the most popular definitions of leadership are those that focus on "what…


This is a chorus (motet or 1st movement of a cantata, see below), which was performed at the grave-side ceremony for Count Friedrich von Flemming, October 11, 1740. Bach probably composed it about three years before this burial. Like BWV 50, it is a chorus in motet style but with only one four-part choir. It was performed a second time about ten years later using a different scoring.
In the opening bars Bach takes a decorated motif derived from the slow stepwise rise and fall of the chorale tune (heard, when the voices enter, in long notes in the sopranos) and extends it as a six-part counterpoint. This passage returns unaltered after the last line of the chorale, while 3 shorter sections treating the same material serve to separate the individual lines of the text. A repeat sign, at the point where the opening bars return, allows for further stanzas (not otherwise indicated in the score) to be included and activates a large-scale architectural symmetry.
The unusual instrumentation and the serious declamation of the choir produce a motif of deep solemnity, reminiscent of some of the choral writings of Heinrich Schütz in the 17th century. The movement has a straightforward simplicity befitting the ceremony for which it was intended. The upper voices begin to sing the melody of each line, which is then repeated by the lower voice. The instrumental accompaniment is so laid out that in spite of a great degree of independence it is able to support the choir whenever it enters. This is one of the most moving chorale settings that Bach ever composed. It has a melancholy beauty all its own.

Few people realize that although the Quakes go back to the start of the 1993 season here in Rancho Cucamonga, the franchise traces its roots back to 1966 and Lodi, California, and had made successive stops in Ventura and San Bernardino before landing in Rancho Cucamonga.
Lodi came into the California League after the 1965 California League season, when the team operating in Salinas folded, leaving only five teams remaining in the league. The league had operated with eight teams in the past and was therefore determined to get three more teams into the fold for the 1966 season.
The franchise in Modesto, which hadn't operated in the 1965 season, was reactivated and run by now-former California League President Joe Gagliardi. Another team in Reno, Nevada was also reactivated, but this still left one opening.
It was then that a group of investors from Lodi cobbled up $2,500- a small sum by today's standards, and decided to start a new franchise in Lodi to be ready to play in 1966. They were known as the Lodi Crushers, and this essentially became the first team in the Quakes' lineage.
The Quakes' franchise had by far the longest stint of its four city existence thus far in Lodi, where from 1966 through 1984 the team called 2,000 seat Lawrence Park (now known as Tony Zupo Field) its home. There were several ownership changes during the teams' existence in Lodi, usually coming about from the town residents collaborating to purchase the team, only to sell it a few years later to another group.
Over 60 alums of the Lodi California League franchise made it to the Major Leagues, including former Angels' General Manager Bill Stoneman (pitched in four games during the inaugural 1966 season), as well as Candy Maldonado, Jeffrey "Hack Man" Leonard, Mike Caldwell, and Fernando Valenzuela. Maldonado had 25 HR and 102 RBI for the 1980 Lodi Dodgers. In the case of Valenzuela, the first professional game he was involved in with a United States-based team was with the Lodi Dodgers in 1979, going 1-2 with a 1.13 ERA in 3 starts.
Through 1984, the franchise had five different affiliations; Chicago Cubs (1966-68), Oakland A's (1969), San Diego Padres (1970-71), Baltimore Orioles (1972-75), Los Angeles Dodgers (1976-83), and the Cubs again, in 1984.
During the span of 19 seasons in Lodi, the team was known by six different nicknames; Crushers (1966-69), Padres (1970-71), Orions (1972), Lions (1973), Orioles (1974-75), Dodgers (1976-83), and again Crushers in 1984. Lodi was the only team in the Quakes' franchise lineage (besides the 1994 Rancho Cucamonga squad) to win a California League Championship, with victories coming in 1973, 1977 and 1981.
Throughout California League history, and especially prior to the mid-1990s, franchises have frequently moved from city to city. For example, the teams now operating in San Bernardino and High Desert can each trace their roots at one times through Salinas, California.However, during the 19 years that Lodi had a California League entry, it was always the same franchise.
After the 1984 season, the Chicago Cubs decided to move all of their Minor League teams east of the Mississippi River and pulled out of Lodi. The owner of the franchise, Lodi resident Michelle Sprague, was unable to find an MLB partner for the 1985 season, so she deactivated the team for the year and eventually sold the team to a group headed by former major leaguer Ken McMullen, who took the team to Southern California. Lodi would never regain professional baseball, although today baseball fans in Lodi only have a short drive to Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton, where they can see the Stockton Ports compete in the California League.
Having left Lodi, the Ventura County Gulls affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays, and played at Ventura College, which was supposed to be a temporary site. After one season at the college, McMullen could not find a suitable, nearby site to locate the team, and thus sold the franchise to a group of investors headed by Roy Englebrecht and actor Mark Harmon. Former Quakes' majority owner Hank Stickney also became involved and purchased a large portion of the team.
Stickney and his group of investors moved the team to San Bernardino in 1987 and stayed there, at 3,500 seat Fiscalini Field, through the 1992 season, during which time they were known as the San Bernardino Spirit. In 1988, at the tender age of 18, Ken Griffey Jr. played for the club, hitting .338 with 11 HR and 42 RBI in 58 games. The following season, he broke big league camp on the Mariners' roster.
As for the Spirit, when the city of Rancho Cucamonga told Stickney its intention of building a brand-new state-of-the-art ballpark to be ready for play in 1993, it was an offer he couldn't pass up. The ownership sold the rights to the name San Bernardino Spirit to the Salinas franchise, and Stickney and his employees moved into temporary trailers just outside the construction site of the new ballpark. They were known as the Rancho Cucamonga Professional Baseball Club. Construction began on the new ballpark on November 14, 1991. The building of The Epicenter used 400 trucks of concrete, yielding over 4,000 cubic yards worth. Over 95,000 cubic yards of dirt were moved, and 500,000 square feel of asphalt paving was laid, efforts that required the use of more than sixty subcontractors. The Epicenter's price tag after all was said and done was about $20 million, a veritable bargain by today's standards, but at the time, unheard of for a Class-A minor league ballpark.
Fans were asked to select a name for the new team and on September 30, 1992, it was announced that six people had suggested the name "Quakes," which was chosen by the teams' management as the winner from over 200 different choices. A fitting name it is indeed, as the ballpark sits adjacent to a number of earthquake fault lines.
The management stayed in their trailers throughout the construction of the 4,600 seat stadium, nicknamed "The Epicenter," and moved in April 1, 1993, just seven days before opening day. Wet weather made the opening of The Epicenter all the more challenging. It was nearly the case that the last construction worker exited the park just as the gates opened for Opening Night.
The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes' first game at The Epicenter was on April 8, 1993, a 7-3 victory over the High Desert Mavericks.
The Quakes impressed baseball fans and members of the media from around the nation with their grand opening. Demand for tickets was so high that on May 22, 442 temporary bleacher seats were added (221 in left field and 221 in right field).
On July 15, 1993, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes broke the year-old California League attendance record of 218,444, previously held by the High Desert Mavericks. The Quakes ended the season with a California League attendance record of 331,005. This was better than any Class-AA team in the country and ranked fourth among Class-A teams nationwide.
After the 1993 season the Quakes installed additional seats in the outfield area, bringing the capacity of The Epicenter up over 6,000. While the Quakes expected to break their own attendance record in 1994, they had no idea that the success at the gate would carry over to the field as well, riding a talent-laden roster to a spot in the California League playoffs, where they stunned the surging Modesto A's to win their first California League Championship.
After the championship season, Quakes' attendance boomed in 1995. Total attendance was 446,146, easily the largest figure in California League history. Incredibly, the Quakes played to 97% capacity in 1995; only 12,000 seats went unsold over 70 home games. On the field, the team was unable to repeat its success of 1994, failing to reach the playoffs.
The 1996 Quakes' season was more of the same: The Quakes topped the league in attendance for the fourth straight season, attracting 410,214 visitors and making the playoffs, albeit suffering a first-round loss to the rival Lake Elsinore Storm.
The Quakes reached a pair of milestones during the 1997 season. On August 31, the Quakes Two Millionth Fan entered the Epicenter gates, an amazing figure to reach in just five seasons. Once again the Quakes led the California League in attendance, passing the 400,000 mark for the third straight season. For their five years of success, the Quakes were named by Baseball America magazine as the Class-A winner of the prestigious Bob Freitas award for franchise excellence. The award reaffirmed the Quakes franchise's stature on the map of minor league baseball.
After the completion of the 2009 season, Stickney sold the Quakes to Bobby Brett and his family-led ownership group, who proudly operate the Quakes today.
Led by 19-year old Mike Trout, the Quakes reached the Cal League Finals in 2010, only to fall to the San Jose Giants in an exciting five-game series.
In 2011, the Quakes began a new partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending a 10-year run as the California League Affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. That first year as a Dodgers' partner was memorable, with the Quakes setting a franchise record in total wins (80), on their way to winning both the First Half and Second Half South Division Titles.
2012 saw the Quakes fall short of the playoffs, but the season was highlighted by rehab appearances from Dodgers' superstars Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp, who were two of the 14 Dodgers' rehabbers to visit The Epicenter.
In 2013, the Quakes and LoanMart entered into a ten-year partnership that will see the home of the Quakes now be known as LoanMart Field. This partnership is and will be beneficial for the team, the City of Rancho Cucamonga, the fans and everyone that uses the ballpark throughout the year and for years to come!
Dodgers' number-one prospect Corey Seager helped to make the 2014 season one to remember. Despite missing the playoffs, Quakes' fans saw their shortstop put together one of the best seasons in Quakes' history. Consequently, Seager was named the League's MVP.
In their fifth year of affiliation with the Dodgers, the Quakes brought home a Championship to Rancho Cucamonga, seizing just their second Cal League Title and first in 21 years. After winning the First Half South Division crown, the Quakes received a first-round bye before disposing of the High Desert Mavericks in a classic five-game series, with the team advancing to the finals in walk-off fashion after rallying in the decisive game five by plating two runs in the last of the ninth inning. That momentum wasn't slowed at all in the Championship Series, as the Quakes swept the San Jose Giants in three games, clinching the title at San Jose Municipal Stadium on September 19th, 2015. Cody Bellinger, who led the league in RBIs (103) during the regular season, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Championship Series.
The 2016 season marked the second straight year that they made it to the playoffs, but the defending Cal League Champs were bested by the Lancaster JetHawks in the opening round of the South Playoffs, two games to one.
In 2017, the Quakes enjoyed another trip to the postseason, but had the same results as 2016, as they were eliminated by Lancaster for a second straight year, this time, falling in a best-of-five South Division Finals, 3-1.
The Quakes enjoyed their best season in franchise history in 2018, as they finished with the most wins (87) in a season, the most wins in a half (52), a franchise-best 15-game winning streak, and a whopping 202 home runs, also a franchise record. Rancho would cap the year by exacting some revenge on Lancaster for eliminating them in each of the last two seasons, as they dropped the JetHawks 3-1, in the best-of-five South Division Finals. The Quakes would win their final six postseason games in 2018, sweeping the Visalia Rawhide and clinching the Cal League Title at LoanMart Field for the first time since 1994. Infielder Cristian Santana was named the Championship Series MVP, after slugging home runs in the final two games of the three-game sweep. The championship marks Rancho's third overall and second in the Dodgers' era.
In 2019, the Quakes will once again be defending Cal League Champs and hope to see you back at LoanMart Field, for what is certain to be a celebratory season! Go Quakes!

Eddie Einhorn, the owner of the United States Football League's inactive Chicago franchise and the league's television contract negotiator, described for a jury yesterday his futile attempts with the three major networks to get a contract for the fall of 1986.
Near the end of his testimony, given in the U.S.F.L.'s antitrust case against the National Football League in Federal District Court, he indirectly blamed the N.F.L. for his problems with at least one of the networks, ABC.
Among the factors Pilson cited were a change in the marketplace created by a Supreme Court decision that allowed more college football games to be televised, his perception that the U.S.F.L. was deteriorating because of its abandonment of several major markets, ''squabbling among U.S.F.L. owners'' over the move to the fall and a general softening of the economy.
Pilson also cited an economic analysis that considered the impact of CBS televising both leagues: The study showed in June 1984, he said, that not enough money could be generated to satifsy U.S.F.L. demands on a fall contract.
With few exceptions, Einhorn, under questioning by Harvey Myerson, the U.S.F.L. attorney, did not disagree with Pilson's accounting, as he traced, network by network, the difficulties he experienced in 1984, around the time the U.S.F.L. announced it was moving to the fall.
At one point CBS was willing to put the U.S.F.L. on in the fall, Einhorn said, but only if another network would also. That same message, Einhorn said, he received in early conversations with Arthur Watson, the president of NBC Sports.
But neither network wanted to be the first to commit.
ABC had televised the U.S.F.L.'s three springtime schedules and had an option for the spring on the fourth year of the contract, for $14 million. But Einhorn, who described the contract as the ''worst'' he had ever seen, said he was stymied by ABC's position that it had no interest in a fall schedule and would hold the U.S.F.L. to performance in the spring.
According to Einhorn, in what amounted to a final offer, ABC invited the U.S.F.L. to buy the 1986 option for $15 million.
''You're paying us $14 million for 1985 and you want me to pay you $15 million in 1985 for 1986; so I owe you $1 million,'' Einhorn testified he said to Spence. He also said he told Spence he would be willing to check with the other league owners. But their reaction, he said, was unanimous rejection.

Alberto Martin Artajo
Name Alberto Martin-Artajo
Role Foreign minister
Died 1979, Madrid, Spain
Alberto Martín-Artajo Álvarez (Madrid, 1905–1979) was a legal technocrat for the Nationalist (rebel) government during the Spanish Civil War and for the succeeding dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and a Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs. He served as the Foreign Minister from 1945 to 1957. Ideologically, he was not a Falangist (a member of the original Falange Española, the fascist-like party, before it absorbed the other anti-Republican parties), but a monarchist and a leader of the dynamic and powerful Catholic movement within the Francoist coalition. During the time of the Second Spanish Republic, he had been a member of the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right (CEDA, existed 1933–1937).
He received his secondary education at the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Recuerdo. Martín-Artajo earned a law degree from the University of Madrid. He became a staff attorney of the Council of State in 1931. During the Republic, Martín-Artajo worked closely with Ángel Herrera Oria, the director of the Catholic newspaper El Debate and belonged to the lay "National Catholic Association of Propagators of the Faith" (propagandistas). With the start of the Spanish Civil War, Martín-Artajo went over to the insurgent Nationalists. He was a legal adviser to the Nationalist government's Junta Técnica del Estado (State Technical Council), Franco's pseudocabinet, and to the Nationalist government's Labor Ministry. In 1940, General Franco appointed him president of the mass movement, Catholic Action.
In 1945, Martín-Artajo participated in the drafting of the quasiconstitutional "Fuero of the Spanish People", a list of rights, freedoms, and responsibilities.
In July 1945, fresh after the defeat of fascist Germany, Franco wanted to present the Spanish government as "Catholic" rather than a profascist, in the face of ostracism from other Western countries. Franco wanted to appoint Martín-Artajo Minister of Foreign Affairs. After consulting with the Primate of Spain, Cardinal Enrique Pla y Deniel, he accepted the portfolio of Foreign Affairs and resigned from his position at Catholic Action. His diplomatic efforts succeeded in breaking the dictatorship's isolation. He effectuated the signing of the Concordat with the Holy See in August 1953, the bilateral Pact of Madrid with the United States the following September, and Spain's entry into the United Nations in 1955.
After retiring from the Foreign Ministry, he worked on the Council of State and at the publisher, Editorial Católica.

I hope this email finds you and your family well. I have exciting news about Jacob that I'd like to share with you……Jacob has joined the Navy and is now in boot camp at Great Lakes IL. He's set to graduate 5/3 and yes I will be attending, I can't wait to see him. He will then go to San Antonio, TX where he will be studying to be a Hospital Corpsman. Which is basically a Medic. He couldn't have done it without you Joe as I don't think that they would have accepted him with his former pectus problem. His chest is now completely normal and he has never had another problem with it. You're a miracle worker!
Thank you, thank you, mahalo! I'm so glad that we found you. You have changed our lives'.
With Kind Regards and Much Aloha!

This should be quite the interview. The Assange lover is currently on a campaign against, drum roll, ride-hailing apps. She believes riders and drivers somehow both get shafted in the free exchange.

Q: C# subscribing to event, when using generic collection of publisher What is the best way to subscribe to an event, where the subscriber is using a generic collection of the event publishing class?
To briefly outline, the setup is something like this:
public class PublisherClass
{
    public event EventHandler<CustomEventArgs> DoneSomethingEvent;
...

public class SubscriberClass
{
    public List<PublisherClass> publisherClassList { get; set; }
...

Now, if I were to just use PublisherClass it would be as simple as:
publisherClass.DoneSomethingEvent += MyEventHandler;

How do I do this if I'm working with a generic collection of this class?

A: You would need to put a constraint on the generic type and that constraint would need to be a class or interface that defines the event you are wanting to subscribe to.
public interface IDoSomthingPublisher
{
    event EventHandler<CustomEventArgs> DoneSomethingEvent;
}

public class PublisherClass : IDoSomthingPublisher
{
    public event EventHandler<CustomEventArgs> DoneSomethingEvent;
...
}

public class SubscriberClass<T> where T : IDoSomthingPublisher
{
    private List<T> _publisherClassList;

    public List<T> PublisherClassList
    {
        get
        {
            return _publisherClassList;
        }
        set
        {
            if(_publisherClassList != null)
            {
                foreach(T item in _publisherClassList)
                {
                    //unsubscribe old events
                    item -= MyEventHandler;
                }
            }

            _publisherClassList = value;

            if(_publisherClassList != null)
            {
                foreach(T item in _publisherClassList)
                {
                    //subscribe to new events
                    item += MyEventHandler;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You might want to swap out the List<T> to a ObserveableCollection<T> so you can get notified if a item is added or removed from the list from outside of your class.
public class SubscriberClass<T> where T : IDoSomthingPublisher
{
    private ObserveableCollection<T> _publisherClassList;

    public ObserveableCollection<T> PublisherClassList
    {
        get
        {
            return _publisherClassList;
        }
        set
        {
            if(_publisherClassList != null)
            {
                _publisherClassList -= CollectionChangedHandler;
                foreach(T item in _publisherClassList)
                {
                    //unsubscribe old events
                    item -= MyEventHandler;
                }
            }

            _publisherClassList = value;

            if(_publisherClassList != null)
            {
                _publisherClassList += CollectionChangedHandler;
                foreach(T item in _publisherClassList)
                {
                    //subscribe to new events
                    item += MyEventHandler;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void CollectionChangedHandler(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        if(args.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Move)
            return; //Don't need to change subscriptions for moves.

        if(args.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset)
            throw new NotImplementedException("I leave this to you to solve");

        foreach(var item in args.OldItems)
        {
             item -= MyEventHandler;
        }
        foreach(var item in args.NewItems)

             item += MyEventHandler;

Paringa Hall
Posted by Anne Young in Adelaide, cemetery, Cudmore, obituary
Paringa Hall at Somerton was the home of my great great grandparents James Francis Cudmore (1837 – 1912) and his wife Margaret née Budge (1845 – 1912).
The house was built between 1880 and 1882.The architect was Edmund W. Wright who had designed the Adelaide Town Hall in 1863, the Adelaide Post Office in 1866, and the South Australian Parliament House in 1874. (Sullivan, Christine, 'Wright, Edmund William', Architecture Museum, University of South Australia, 2008, Architects of South Australia: [http://www.architectsdatabase.unisa.edu.au/arch_full.asp?Arch_ID=17])
The Hall was named after Paringa Station on the Murray River close to Renmark which was acquired by James's father Daniel Cudmore in 1858 and transferred to James in 1859. That property was 260 km north-east of Adelaide and 4km of Renmark. The name is said to be an indigenous word for land or place at the river. ("Paringa Station, Murray River." Treasures of the State Library. Government of South Australia, n.d. Web. 16 Feb. 2014. <http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=961&c=7551>)
James and Margaret died within four months of each other in 1912. The house was sold to the Marist Brothers in 1914 and was converted to a school.
I visited the school while on holiday last week in Adelaide and staff at the school made me very welcome. I was shown around the house which is very well cared for and much appreciated. They also gave me a booklet on the history of the house written in 1997 by their late archivist, Brother Columbanus Pratt, and the Friends of Paringa Hall.

The Oscars and all their after parties are just beginning, but Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin will not be at them. The newlywed couple, who would've made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Academy Awards, are actually far from the Los Angeles ceremony.
The two were seen in New York City earlier today, where they have been for the past couple weeks. Baldwin was filmed arriving at church today in Manhattan, while Bieber was filmed leaving it.
Prior to their appearance today, the Biebs was last seen Friday leaving therapy with a smile on his face. Bieber has been prioritizing his mental health, seeking treatment for his depression this month. Baldwin has been supportive while also attending events for New York Fashion Week in the city. She still is a model, after all.
Bieber hasn't been at any award shows for over a year. TMZ reported last year before the Grammys that Bieber wasn't planning on attending any award show events until after he releases new music.
Bieber has also been to the Vanity Fair Oscars after party once, although he went much longer ago than Baldwin did. In 2011—practically another era!—Bieber went with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez to the VF party.

Петачинци () е разделено село между България и Сърбия. Петачинци е разположено на осем километра северно от Трън в областта Дерекул, в подножието на планината Гребен.

История до 1920 г.
Петачинци се споменава в османотурски документи от средата на 16 век. В регистър от това време се споменава, че село Петачинче има 21 домакинства, двама неженени жители и две вдовици, а приходът от него възлиза на 3817 акчета. Има го отбелязано и в стари документи от 1451 г. като Питаченци.

Според преброяването от 1900 година селото има 298 жители. След прокарването на новата българо-сръбска граница по Ньойския договор през 1920 г. четири от петте махали, на които е кръстено селото остават в Сърбия, а само една - Богойна махала с 20 къщи и гробищата на селото - в България.

Културни забележителности
В местността "Света вода" личат основите на стария манастир "Св. Атанасий", където са открити и няколко гроба, за които се предполага, че са на свещеници. Близо до манастира има и свято дърво и оброчен кръст.

Петачинци в България – Богойна
След разделянето в България остава единствено махала Богойна. След приемането на закона за административно-териториално устройство през 1995 година Богойна променя статута си от махала на село.

През 2006 година Министерският съвет на Република България одобрява като основа за водене на преговори проект на споразумение със Сърбия за откриване на ГКПП Банкя – Петачинци.

Петачинци в Сърбия
Частта на Петачинци в Република Сърбия административно принадлежи към Община Цариброд (Димитровград), Пиротски окръг.

Броят на населението в сръбската част след 1921 година е следният:
 1921 г. – 261 души (42 къщи)
 1948 г. – 281 души
 1953 г. – 270 души
 1961 г. – 146 души
 1971 г. – 75 души
 1981 г. – 36 души (34 българи)
 1991 г. – 28 души
 2002 г. – 19 души (8 българи, 2 сърби, 9 недекларирали национална принадлежност)
 2011 г. – 9 души

Q: Gmail not showing full email message and shows Email Clipped I have a newsletter designed for website which I send to all subscribers of my website. But at recievers end the message is getting clipped and isn't showing full message. User have to click on link to see full message. I want this email message to be shown in same page and dont want this message to get clipped. Email consists of images and description about the images.
What can I do to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.

A: I went through certain solutions and problem I found was with the size of HTML newsletter.
If your email exceeds 102K, Gmail will display the first 102K and then it will clip off the remainder with a few different variations depending on the device.
So to avoid this problem try to keep your design of HTML letter within the limit by removing unnecessary code.
Hope it will help others too.
Thanks

A: You need to change the format from

Research reveals growing demand to transform retail real estate
The changing face of retail and explosion of e-commerce are combining to fuel interest in mall-to-fulfillment center conversions, report shows.
DC Velocity Staff
The conditions are ripe for retail-to-industrial real estate conversions, especially as distressed malls look for ways to uncover new value, according to a report from commercial real estate services firm Newmark, released earlier this month.
The report, Retail-to-Industrial Transformation: As the Retail Landscape Changes, Can Outdated Mall Anchors be Reborn as Fulfillment Centers?, examines the rise of e-commerce and accompanying demand for warehouse and fulfillment center space with the decline of traditional malls across the country. The researchers point to the changing role of traditional mall retail space that was accelerated during the pandemic, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges facing retailers and property owners.
"The challenges in the U.S. retail market were exacerbated by the pandemic in 2020, resulting in further softening of fundamentals throughout the country, prompting mall owners to more aggressively consider alternative uses for their assets," according to a Newmark spokesperson. "Tight industrial market conditions are accelerating these discussions, particularly as 'buy online, pick up in store' (BOPIS) programs increase retailers' need for warehouse space."
The researchers highlighted three primary factors that are driving retail-to-industrial conversion potential:
Regional malls have experienced an evolution over the past 50 years, as the once-celebrated destinations face increasing competition for shoppers and their discretionary spending, they wrote. Consumer demand for more open-air shopping areas has led to a decrease in the number of new malls constructed and many retailers leaving enclosed malls for these newer centers.
Department stores have been "anchors" wherever they were located, whether it was a downtown city block or a suburban regional mall. The dwindling number of these stores creates new challenges when space is vacated and owners look to find new tenants, they said. The challenges in the U.S. retail market were exacerbated by the pandemic in 2020.
Converting vacant anchor spaces at shopping malls into distribution or fulfillment centers in service of e-commerce offers considerable upside as a redevelopment play. In some cases, a full property conversion may be the highest and best use of the property, although the conversion process can be expensive and complex.
The researchers admit that, to date, mall-to-fulfillment center conversions have been limited, but they point to some recent regional projects that may bear fruit. Examples include:
Department store Macy's said last fall that two stores it had closed earlier in the year would be repurposed as fulfillment centers. The retailer also emphasized recent efforts to promote BOPIS and curbside delivery, including the conversion of stores in Dover, Delaware, and the Denver suburbs into omnichannel service centers.
Walmart is testing the conversion of part of its stores into fulfillment centers, with plans to use the front half of some buildings for typical shopping while the back half would be converted into warehouse and fulfillment center use.
At the end of 2020, the Worcester, Massachusetts, Planning Board approved the proposed redevelopment of Greendale Mall into a last-mile distribution and fulfillment center for Amazon. This would be the first such conversion in New England, according to the report, which also said the mall owner had planned to convert the space to mixed-use development but changed course due to the accelerated rise of e-commerce during the pandemic.
"Not every obsolete mall site will work as a fulfillment center but repurposing these sites—and sometimes existing buildings—to their highest and best use can be a win for the asset owners and the local community as the retail landscape evolves," the researchers wrote.

Red Tractor founder awarded CBE in New Year Honours list

Red Tractor Founder Awarded CBE
David Clarke, a founding member of Red Tractor Assurance, has been honoured with a CBE in the Queen's New Year Honours.
The History of Red Tractor Assurance
Set up in 2000 after the reputation of British food and farming had been devastated by a decade of food scares, Mr Clarke was the organisation's first chief executive and led the scheme for 17 years.
During his tenure Red Tractor grew from nothing to the UK's leading assurance scheme with 46,000 farm businesses in membership and £14bn of food bearing the Red Tractor logo.
The post was the final piece of a 50-year career spanning food and farming which saw him established as one of the UK's leading authorities on food assurance.
He first worked in manufacturing in the Wall's Meat Company before a 22-year stint in food service with the Forte Group in technical support and supply chain management roles.
"Providing people with safe, nutritious and affordable food is an enterprise with fundamental importance and it has been a privilege to work in food and farming for nearly five decades," Mr Clarke said.
"My position with the Red Tractor scheme in the latter part of my career was especially rewarding.
"I think this honour only serves to underline the importance of this national initiative to ensure good standards of production across the UK supply chain from farm to retail shelf."
Armed with a small budget and a handful of staff, Mr Clarke grew Red Tractor to a business built on transparency, honesty and reliability.
He overcame government bureaucracy, industry politics and major media events such as the horsemeat scandal while convincing farmers, processors and retailers of the value of the Red Tractor logo.
"The future and especially Brexit will bring new challenges and opportunities for the Red Tractor team but I am confident they will be up to the task.
"Anything I have achieved was only possible with the help and support of the team and a wide range of colleagues across the industry. I am grateful to the many friends I worked with through the journey."
Privately, Mr Clarke works tirelessly in his local community collecting and raising thousands of pounds for charity, most notably St Raphael's Hospice in Sutton.
A CBE is the highest Order of the British Empire honour the Queen can bestow and Mr Clarke will receive his accolade in the New Year.

Athlete Stories
Julius' Story
Julius joined Coach Ty's wrestling team nearly 10 years ago at the age of five. He was an active kid who loved to play, and might just have had a little too much energy for his mom to handle. Growing up under Ty's leadership, Julius wasn't the greatest wrestler. In fact, he lost every match: in every tournament, against every other team, and at every practice. He enjoyed wrestling, so despite his losses he stuck around for years as the team grew, adding Coach Collins, and becoming Mission Wresting. One day something changed, and suddenly he became unstoppable. Julius changed when he learned to stop fearing the loss. He had lost every way that there was to lose, only to get over his embarrassment and get down to business. Now, Julius is a role model for his teammates and one of our greatest success stories, not because of his winning, but because he has learned the wisdom that leads to character.
Mikayla's Story
Some of the Mission Wrestling kids have gone through growth and have already closed certain chapters of their stories, while for some, the chapters are ongoing. Mikayla is one of those kids in the middle of a chapter. Mikayla came to us as a five-year-old, and she's been a consistent wrestler ever since. She wrestled the boys, invited new girls, and does a great job of making athletes feel welcome. This season, Mikayla is learning how to take the things she's been taught and make them her own. She has a lot of giftings, both athletically and socially, and she's learned a lot of principles through our program. The coaches say, she's going through a period of testing those things she's been taught, both having success and making mistakes at the same time. The coaches' goal in this season is to give her the freedom to grow, while being around to care for and protect her in the process. One of these days, the things Mikayla knows will become the things she believes, and the coaches can't wait to see that happen.
Mission Wrestling is devoted to engaging youth in a way that empowers them to realize their full potential, to positively influence their local culture, and to graduate high school with a meaningful plan for successfully managing life.
We use wrestling as a way to provide safe relationships, community, and a true sense of belonging. Through training and mentoring, participants improve their work ethic, and increase their capacity to understand and manage emotions, reactions, and relationships. We encourage parent participation and provide mentoring, counseling, training, and resources intended to improve family life.

The ballots are (mostly) counted. What comes next?
For the second time this year, an Israeli election has ended in a virtual deadlock between the major parties and political blocs. And, once again, the results leave us highly uncertain about what will come next.
Here's what we do know: Prime Minister Netanyahu called this election because he wanted to secure a clear majority of 61 seats for himself and his right-wing bloc — and he failed.
Today, his political position is considerably worse than it was before the polls closed on Tuesday, and worse than it was following the election in April. Without the majority he wanted, he cannot secure immunity from prosecution on charges of corruption — and could ultimately stand trial.
In the final weeks of the election campaign — and even on Election Day itself — Netanyahu pulled every shameless trick he could think of: promising annexation of the Jordan Valley and ultimately all the settlements; seeking to put cameras in polling stations to suppress the Arab vote; and leading vitriolic incitement against Israel's Arab population and its political leaders. This strategy appears to have backfired — helping to inspire higher Arab-Israeli turnout that hurt Netanyahu.
It's important and encouraging for Israeli democracy that Netanyahu failed to achieve his aim, and that millions of Israelis rejected his extreme, anti-democratic rhetoric and tactics. It's a reminder that Israeli society remains deeply divided. While defenders of democracy have been under sustained attack from Netanyahu and his allies, they still have the capacity to fight back — and need all of the support we can give them to help win that fight.
At the same time, this election result by itself does not guarantee that Netanyahu's days of political power are over — or tell us exactly what the composition, policies and priorities of the next Israeli government will be. Nor does it mean we're likely to see a major change in the status quo when it comes to the occupation or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
We're determined to bring an end not only to the era of Netanyahu, but also to the era of Trump, and to the era of unending conflict and occupation.
Weeks of coalition negotiations between the major parties lie ahead, and the most likely outcome is a "unity government" that would share power between former IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz's Blue and White party (which won the most seats), Likud, and Avigdor Lieberman's secular-right Yisrael Beiteinu party. While the positions of Blue and White on the Palestinian issue are still up in the air, any government that includes so many right-wing leaders and MKs is very unlikely to accept a move away from permanent occupation or toward a two-state solution.
The Trump administration also remains a dangerous wildcard. It has promised to release its "peace vision" after the election. Based on everything the administration has said and done so far, it's clear that this vision won't include a viable two-state peace agreement, but will instead endorse permanent occupation — and potentially give the green light to Israeli annexation in areas of the West Bank.
One thing remains clear: the Trump team isn't giving up. Today, Jason Greenblatt heads to Israel to discuss the administration's plans with both Netanyahu and Gantz. While Blue and White is far more likely than Likud to listen to the protests of the Israeli security establishment and to be cautious in its actions, there is still a real risk that the next Israeli government would consider partial annexation in the West Bank — especially if encouraged or invited to do so by President Trump.
For J Street, our work now becomes vitally important. We will urge Congress, presidential candidates and American Jewish leaders to send a clear message to Israeli political leaders during the coalition negotiations: The status quo of unending occupation is disastrous for Israel and deeply unjust for Palestinians. Any West Bank annexations would lead to major consequences for the US-Israel relationship. To secure its future as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people, Israel must return to a path that leads toward the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
Depending on the precise timing of coalition negotiations, J Street's National Conference — coming up in Washington, DC from October 26-29 — will take place shortly before or shortly after the formation of the new government. By showing up in large numbers in Washington and rallying with presidential candidates, congressional leaders and our Israeli and Palestinian partners, we can support our many allies who want to lead the way to a better future.
We can stand together in defense of our Jewish and democratic values, and make clear that we're determined to bring an end not only to the era of Netanyahu, but also to the era of Trump, and to the era of unending conflict and occupation.

Città del sole is a toy shop quite different from any other: not only does it differ in what is has but also for what it doesn't have. Here the toys are not selected for what they do, but for what they make children do.
The offer from Città del sole is modelled on a teaching principle, very enlightened at the time of the first shop, which recognises playing as a crucial moment in the development of a child's personality. The educational and business project of Città del sole started out in 1972 when Carlo Basso opened the first shop in Milan with the slogan: "…and what if playing is a serious matter?". This question – answered in the total concentration shown by children immersed in playing – revolutionised the toy culture in Italy, no longer seen as a simple pastime or entertainment but as a vehicle for exploring the world.
This is why, in Città del sole, there are only "creative toys", meaning that they have been specifically designed for children's different stages of growth to stimulate their creativity through experience, imagination, curiosity and discovery. The "right toy at the right time". Here there are no toys using batteries for actions that could be done by the child, nor are there those toys advertised or connected to television programmes or to the "latest fashion", continually needing to be replaced.
Simple, solid toys suitable for their specific use, but also for new and unimagined uses: this is the formula for the "creative toy", the only one able to assure the active, central and imaginative role of the child. Although the creative toys promoted by Città del sole are guided by this idea of "learning through play", they are not overtly 'teaching tools'. At Città del sole, the principle works the other way round: it is not the game that has to be adapted to learning – becoming artificial or boring – but the learning that is spontaneously assimilated from everything that is able to 'test' children's skills.
However, not following the latest fashions and having only few electronic games does not make Città del sole less modern. On the contrary, to remain true to this idea where "the toy is a meeting point between child and world", it is important to continue to look for increasingly innovative proposals to keep in step with the development of both children and the world. And so, in Città del sole, next to toys that were thought extinct, such as wooden rocking horses or stilts and the all time classics such as four-wheel bikes and rattles, there are very modern construction systems, kits for experiments or devices powered by solar energy or water.
While at the time of the first shops, the reliable toys designed specifically thinking of the child were mainly made in wood (Città del sole started out by importing Galt Toys from the UK to Italy), over time the toy industry has evolved, creating solid toys in high quality plastic, cotton and cardboard. Never a shop selling just one brand, Città del sole has always proposed a careful selection from the best toy companies in the world.
Città del sole has 72 shops in 58 towns and is also a virtual shop online.
POINT OF INTEREST: For the name, Carlo Basso was inspired by the utopian Città del Sole (City of the Sun), the title of Tommaso Campanella's 1602 book, in which great attention is shown to children and to the teaching principle of «learning through play» where «the children, with no effort, while playing, find themselves discovering all the sciences».

Bucharest's Metropolitan Hospital, the biggest in Romania, will cost close to EUR 1 billion
Bucharest's Metropolitan Hospital, which should become the biggest hospital in Romania as well as the second-largest building in the country after the Parliament Palace, will cost RON 4.7 billion (EUR 980 million), according to a draft decision subject to approval by the Bucharest General Council.
The total investment is more than double compared to the one announced by Bucharest mayor Gabriela Firea earlier this week when she officially presented the project. Firea said the hospital would cost EUR 400 million and would require three years to complete.
Meanwhile, according to the draft decision to be discussed by the General Council, the total value of this investment is RON 4.7 billion (EUR 980 million), VAT included, spread over a period of five years. Of the total sum, the building part is estimated at RON 2.4 billion (over EUR 500 million), VAT included. About half of the whole investment is scheduled to be financed in year 5, which is after the next local elections (in 2024).
The construction of the hospital should start in 2020, just before next year's local elections, according to the timeline presented by the mayor.
The hospital will cover a footprint of over 27,000 sqm and will have a total area of almost 248,000 sqm. It will have 750 beds for admitted patients and 33 operating rooms.
Besides the hospital itself and a tower that will have a heliport on top, the project includes a kindergarten and nursery, 60 housing units for doctors, as well as road infrastructure, alleys and a park.
The investment will be carried out from the Bucharest City Hall's budget and from "other legal sources," the draft decision mentions. However, it is unclear how the municipality will afford to finance such a big investment, given that its budget is already overstretched. The Bucharest mayor said earlier this week that the municipality hasn't been able to secure EU funding or state funding for the metropolitan hospital project.
On Friday, December 13, mayor Firea asked the Government to transfer RON 677 million (EUR 140 mln) extra from the state budget to cover this year's expenses, which prime minister Ludovic Orban refused. Firea also said that transfers from the state budget to the Bucharest City Hall should amount to 1.5% of GDP, given that the Capital generates 25% of Romania's GDP. She added that the municipality depends on financing from the state budget because it doesn't collect taxes. Local taxes in Bucharest are collected by the city halls of the six districts, which run independently.

» What's new this month? July 2017
What's new this month? July 2017
The wait is nearly over. Later this month Voytek Kurtyka's much-anticipated biography, Art of Freedom, and The Magician's Glass, Ed Douglas's collection of eight climbing essays, will be ready for your bookshelves. Limited edition, numbered, signed copies of both books will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis, with standard, unsigned editions also available in late July. Read on for details about each book and a brand-new walking guide that we're releasing this summer.
Art of Freedom: The life and climbs of Voytek Kurtyka by Bernadette McDonald
What's it about? Art of Freedom is a profound and moving profile of one of the international climbing world's most respected, complex and reclusive mountaineers.
What publishing manager John Coefield thinks … A few years ago, Bernadette let on that she was working on a new book, and its subject was quite a coup. VK. No kidding. I remember reading Freedom Climbers; I came away with a great picture of many of the main characters, yet I was left thinking I'd really like to know a bit more about Voytek Kurtyka – the paradox with enigmas being that you surely can't know anything or more about them. Project VK finally became a reality, thanks to Rocky Mountain Books in Canada, and to be able to release an edition of such an internationally significant book this summer is incredibly exciting. When you consider that Voytek Kurtyka operated in an era when his peers were trying to climb the biggest things, it's fascinating to read about some of mountaineering's most stylish and pure climbs – the West Face of Gasherbrum IV, for example. It's not what you do; it's how you do it. All credit to Bernadette for making this book a reality.
Perfect for … Anybody with an interest the golden age of Polish climbing or anyone who'd like to find out more about the exceedingly private individual behind some of the greatest alpine ascents of all time.
The Magician's Glass by Ed Douglas
What's it about? The Magician's Glass by award-winning writer Ed Douglas is a collection of eight recent essays on some of the biggest stories and best-known personalities in the world of climbing.
What publishing manager John Coefield thinks … Like most people, my interest is naturally aroused by the whiff of controversy, and climbing has had – and continues to have – its fair share of bullshitters. In no other activity (sport?) could you claim to have done something significant without presenting categorical proof. Just imagine: 'Hey Dave, I just ran a sub-9.5-second 100 metres.' No you didn't. Cesare Maestri's first ascent of Cerro Torre with Toni Egger in 1959 had no substantive evidence and it took half a century for the claim to be debunked. But Toni Egger died out there in 1959, and the how, why, where and when of that matters too. Stories like this are bigger than climbing and demand a writer as skilful as Ed Douglas to really get to grips with them. But it's not all controversy in The Magician's Glass; Ed's portraits of legends like Kurt Albert and Patrick Edlinger celebrate the personalities that make the climbing world so intriguing.
Perfect for … Anyone after a fresh take on some of the climbing world's most daring feats and disputed ascents by its most famous characters.
Day Walks in Devon
What's it about? Day Walks in Devon features 20 circular routes, between 8.8 and 17.6 miles (14.1km and 28.3km), suitable for hillwalkers of all abilities. The routes are split into five geographical areas: North Devon and Exmoor, Torridge and West Devon, Mid and East Devon, Dartmoor, and South Devon and the South Hams.
What we think: Authors Jen and Sim Benson have put together some of their favourite routes from the region in this easy-to-use guidebook showcasing their stunning local National Trails and the wild places of Dartmoor.
Perfect for … Hillwalkers of any ability.


In honor of Byredo's tenth anniversary, search the Swedish brand has released a have released a fragrance without a name. If anyone could (and did) pull this off, it would be Byredo, a fragrance house who has found much respect among perfumers in Europe and the U.S. "Unnamed" marks niche line Byredo's 5th new fragrance of 2016.
Founder Ben Gorham's explains the concept as an exercise in perception, as scents can often be perceived differently based on their name (ie. You look for a floral scent in Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb or Tom Ford's Black Orchid, while you expect a sweet scent in something like Prada's Candy). Without a name, the fragrance wearer is more free to come to their own conclusions without the veil of semantics or marketing. It is the beauty equivalent of getting the "Mystery" flavored lollipop. And it isn't just semantics that changes the way we perceive it. Our own memories often effect this too, we all have different triggers – which comes as no surprise knowing how personal and intimate fragrance can be.
You will, upon purchase, receive a set of alphabet stickers in lieu of a name as well as the perfume bottle with a blank white label that you are free to name whatever you'd like. So it may be just one scent, but in a lot of ways, it's a limitless fragrance – and the magic of it all, is that it all depends on the consumer. Available on www.byredo.com.

Too Fake
Horrendous fake accents and phony people. Lauren Holly had too many facelifts or too much Botox. Just another made for TV crappy chick flick.

Very Southern
I'll be honest, the lead character's voice was so annoying I almost couldn't handle it! But I'm glad I did as the turned out to be a pretty good movie! Clean & funny, but with an unexpected plot twist. I'd watch it again.

Will please the many romantic comedy fans everywhere!
Abby (Lauren Holly) is a very famous author of romances set in the South. Personally, though, she has been burned in the game of love and resists her mother's constant efforts to find a match for her child. Often, Abby is out on book tours, anyway, so she is away from her parent's influence. Fans flock to her appearances at bookstores and libraries; one male fan in particular, Walter (Toby Hargrave) seems to follow her from stop to stop. But, once Abby steps into small but beautiful Bliss, Mississippi, she is met with more enthusiasm than usual. This is because the whole town thinks she would make a great match for their widowed mayor. Everyone from the bed and breakfast owner (Valerie Harper), to the tallest and the smallest is going to try to encourage Abby to lose her heart. At first, she resists, for she spies a good looking man, Spencer (Cameron Bancroft) in a coffee shop and likes what she sees, even when he steps on her open-toed shoes. Ouch! But, soon, she learns that Spencer IS THE MAYOR and, hey, this matchmaking business may be the right item. However, there are complications with Spencer's children, the town's wannabe belle, Lorraine, and also with Walter. Even with the force of a whole community behind you, will true love run smoothly? This loveable movie has the beauty of Holly, the charm of Bancroft, and the great supporting cast. Also enfused with the lovely scenery, costumes, nice script, and talented direction, what's really a cause for complaint? You won't hear it from the romcom crowd, no indeed!

Not terrible, but predictable
This was an easy movie to watch while multi-tasking. I don't usually watch these Hallmark Channel type movies, but made an exception for this one because it was set in fictional Bliss, Mississippi, my home state. So I am pretty critical about the fake Southern accents. Do movie and TV people realize that no Southerner of my generation or younger drops their r's anymore? They apparently listen to audio of Eudora Welty or Shelby Foote and think that's how we still speak here. Unfortunately, we don't. The town, especially the B&B, featured in the movie was beautiful, but there are no towns or buildings in Mississippi that even remotely look like them. As I suspected, the credits revealed the movie was filmed in Canada. Could they not even take a half-hour to go online and look at a few photos of Southern small towns?

Too much cheese
This movie was odd and very cheese...too much so. This is coming from a girl who loves cheesy Hallmark movies. The acting, the story line...it's all pretty rough. Clean, but rough.
