Tractor Supply goes all in for LEDs
BY	HBSDealer Staff May 25, 2018
Tractor Supply Company has completed its biggest environmental stewardship project to date.
As of August 2017, all new and existing Tractor Supply stores are outfitted with LED lighting. The extensive lighting project is one of the sustainability initiatives highlighted in the company's recently-released 2017 Stewardship Report.
With the installation of the LED lights, many Tractor Supply stores have seen a positive impact both in their appearance and in monthly energy costs, the rural lilfestyle retailer stated. In an added benefit, the new LED lamps reduce HVAC usage. The new lighting also improves the process team members must use to request repairs to light fixtures, now requiring only a repair ticket for a warranty expense.
In other highlights from the report:
• 96 million kilowatt hours saved through the energy management system;
•84,769 gallons of oil collected from customers for recycling;
•627,817 vehicle batteries recycled;
•3.6 million wood pallets recycled; and
•26,833 tons of cardboard recycled.
"In addition to offering an increasing array of products and programs to support sustainable living, we are excited about the strides Tractor Supply is making toward environmental sustainability," said Ben Parrish, executive vp, general counsel and corporate secretary of Tractor Supply. Parrish also leads the company's stewardship program. "Our Stewardship Program focuses on helping our neighbors and protecting the land and natural resources we have now, while teaching the next generation to do the same, so they too can enjoy Life Out Here."
Tractor Supply's Stewardship Program was launched in 2008 and achievements in the past year extended beyond sustainability.
Nearly $2 million was raised for local 4-H Clubs through the bi-annual "Paper Clover" events with 90% of the money remaining in the state where it was collected. Another $1.5 million was raised and awarded in the form of 600 grants to FFA chapters across the country through the "Grants for Growing" fundraiser in 2017 and 2018.
Tractor Supply also facilitated the adoption of more than 16,000 pets through community events at stores and at Petsense locations, a subsidiary of the company.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has laid down a firm foundation to drive the nation towards embracing a high-income economy in the 2010 budget through bold proposals to raise private equity, invigorating the stock market, further developing Islamic finance while emphasising on micro-credit programmes.
Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said green technology would be promoted via a RM1.5 billion fund while small-and medium-scale industries development programmes and the construction sector -- both vital backbones to the economy -- would be given additional injection of funds.
As for the stock market, he said the government would liberalise the commission-sharing arrangements between stockbrokers and remisiers in two stages to enhance retail participation in the bourse.
Tabling the 2010 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat today, the prime minister said 100 per cent foreign equity participation would also be allowed in corporate finance and financial planning companies.
All public-listed firms too would be required to offer e-Dividend to shareholders to increase efficiency of the payment system.
Existing tax incentives for financial services, particularly Islamic finance, will be extended until 2015, with new measures put in place comprising a 20 per cent stamp duty exemption on Islamic financing instruments and deductions on expenditure incurred in the establishment of islamic stockbroking firms.
On the Ar-Rahnu micro-credit programme, the government will encourage all Syariah-compliant financial and banking institutions such as Bank Muamalat and Bank Islam to offer this scheme to assist those unable to secure financing from financial institutions and to obtain business capital fast.
To support implementation of private sector projects in regional corridors, the government will allocate RM3.5 billion next year as part of efforts to ensure they are developed according to schedule.
Planned investments totalling RM221 billion have exceeded the Ninth Malaysia Plan target of RM145 billion.
The government will issue 1Malaysia Sukuk (Islamic Bond) totalling RM3 billion to all Malaysians aged 21 and above, with a minimum investment of RM1,000 and a maximum of RM50,000 plus a maturity period of three years, with a five per cent annual return paid quarterly.
To further promote the construction industry, Najib said RM9 billion has been allocated to finance infrastructure projects including RM4.7 billion for road and bridge projects and RM2.6 billion for water supply and sewerage services.
He said RM899 million will be allotted for rail facilities, RM820 million for ports and sea services and RM276 million for airport projects.
Najib also said the maximum individual income tax will be reduced to 26 per cent from 2010 from 27 per cent as a result of which, the tax rate for cooperatives will be reduced to 26 per cent while the fixed tax rate for non-resident individuals will dwindle to 26 per cent.
This is to ensure the individual income tax remains competitive and continues the economic agenda based on creativity, innovation and high-value added, he said.
The government will also privatise companies under the Ministry of Finance Inc and other viable government agencies to enable them to operate more efficiently and ease financial dependence as part of efforts to gradually phase out involvement in economic activities especially in areas where it competes with the private sector.
In intensifying foreign direct investment, the Prime Minister said Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) would join hands with foreign investors in education, tourism and infrastructure and allow them to have equity ownership in firms and joint ventures in local projects.
In focusing on niche areas, Najib said the tourism industry has been allocated RM899 million next year to initiate programmes including upgrading the quality of related infrastructures nationwide.
To promote the medical tourism industry, the government will raise the income tax exemption to 100 per cent from 50 per cent now to enable healthcare service providers to offer high-quality health services and attract more health tourists.
To raise computer literacy, the government proposed to give tax relief to broadband subscription fees by up to RM500 a year from 2010 to 2012 to individual taxpayers while civil servants can now apply for computer loans once in three years from five years before up to a maximum of RM5,000.
Najib said the government will also implement a more open automotive policy and will charge RM10,000 for each Approved Permit (AP) to distribute APs effective Jan 1 next year.
A portion of the fee will be channelled to the Bumiputera Development Fund in the automotive sector.
In ensuring fuel subsidies benefit the intended target groups, a fuel subsidy management system will be implemented in early 2010 by utilising the MyKad and existing infrastructures.
Najib said this approach of providing subsidies only for the targeted groups will also be used for other commodities.
Najib also announced that contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) can be increased voluntarily to 11 per cent again from eight per cent with immediate effect but it will be made compulsory in 2011 due to the expected recovery in the economy.
He said a basic insurance and takaful scheme will be offered to ensure the people continue to have access to motor insuranc protection as the current motor insurance scheme structure was rigid as it failed to take into account rising business costs and claims.
It will be introduced by mid-2010, he said.
The government also proposed that a five per cent tax be imposed on gains from the disposal of real property from Jan 1, 2010.
Meanwhile, the Government will allocate RM2.3 billion to build and upgrade infrastructures in rural areas.
Najib also brought cheer to civil servants when he announced a special contribution of RM500 to support staff recently will also be extended to all government employees from Grade S41 to Grade S54 to be paid in December.
This works out to RM400 million, he said.
In winding up his maiden budget speech themed "1Malaysia, Together We Prosper" which lasted for more than 90 minutes, the Prime Minister said the 2010 Budget was 11.2 per cent lower than this year's budget, amounting to RM191.5 billion.
Of the total, RM138.3 billion or 72.2 per cent was for operating expenditure and RM53.2 billion or 27.8 per cent for development expenditure.
Under the development expenditure, RM25.4 million has been provided for the economic sector to support the needs of infrastructure, industry and agriculture and rural development, he said.
In advancing towards a high-income economy, the Government will take a new approach based on innovation, creativity and high value-added initiatives.
These measures are expected to more than double the per capita income of the people in the next 10 years.
Najib also emphasised the private sector contribution in driving the economy will be intensified, with priority given to enhance domestic investment and encourage local firms abroad to remit their profits and re-invest in the country.
To provide a business-friendly environment and ensure an effective delivery system, individuals and companies are only required to use a single reference number in their dealings with government agencies.
"For individuals, the initiative known as MyID, uses MyKad number, while for companies MyCoID utilises the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) business registration number," he said.
The Prime Minister also said a National Innovation Centre will be established, supported by a network of innovation excellence centres under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry and in collaboration with the Higher Education Ministry.
"This is part of efforts to intensify research and development initiatives and commercialisation. A strong foundation is needed for the economy to shift towards a high-income economy, he added.


Karni Mata Temple is likely a standout amongst the most renowned spots to visit in Bikaner. This sanctuary is known for its sizable populace of rats that are the lasting occupants here. Going back to the 15th century, this sanctuary is devoted to Karni Mata who was the incarnation of Goddess Durga. Legend has it that when Karni Mata's child passed on, she asked for Yama to restore her child's life, however, Yama did not. Along these lines, Karni Mata being the incarnation of Goddess restored the life of her child and proclaimed that from now onwards her family won't confront demise yet be resurrected as ratsoday, there are around 20,000 rats that live in the sanctuary premises and undoubtedly pull in the consideration of numerous voyagers. The temple is sculpted from stones and marble, which features silver gates, built by Maharaja Ganga Singh, and a hanging mesh that protects rats from birds.

When Kudumbashree members were requested to donate their one week's saving – a humble Rs 10 – they went on to do beyond what was asked.
The weekly saving of a member of Kerala's self-help group under the Kudumbashree unit is a humble Rs 10. But when the 43 lakh members of the State Kudumbashree Mission, a model of women empowerment of Kerala, decided to come together to donate as much as they could to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund, the amount was a whopping Rs 7 crore.
The fact that these women donated this significant amount becomes even more important when you take account that many of the donors suffered losses in the deluge too.
It all started with an appeal by Kudumbashree Mission Executive Director S Harikishore. He asked the members to give their one week's savings, and received an overwhelming response.
"If we calculate Rs 10 from 43 lakh members it would come around Rs 4.3 crore. But the members surprised me by going beyond what was asked. Some Kudumbashree groups even donated what they had set aside for Onam celebrations," Harikishore told TNM.
Even the training group and audit groups of Kudumbashree came forward with contributions. "I had made it clear that this is not mandatory and no one could force them. 60% of the Kudumbashree members themselves are affected by the floods… I think that's what made them realise the impact, and their response was to contribute to rebuild the state," he added.
The self-help groups also went around in their areas, collecting donations from the locals and contributed the entire amount to the Kerala CM's Relief Fund.
As the water recedes, the next challenge before the state is to rid the houses and buildings of flood water and make them liveable and functional again.
Here too, Kudumbashree members have been actively involved. They hope to clean more than one lakh houses and more than 2000 public places in a drive which Kudumbashree volunteers from various districts of the state.
On Friday for instance, a team of 57 women from Kundumbashree in Mailam panchayat in Kollam came to Pathanamthitta district to take part in a cleaning drive.
"Something good would come out of all these that is what I feel," said Sheeja Beegum, a member of a Kudumbashree unit of Pathanamthitta, as she washed utensils at a flood-affected house in Aranmula. She was with six members of her Kudumbashree unit.
"Tomorrow we are planning to go to Malakkara. We feel really sad when we see all this. Our aim is to make the houses liveable so that families can rebuild their lives in their homes," she added.
Sheeja and team have also collected materials for relief camps; especially sanitary napkins, and undergarments for women. They have also been enquiring about scarcities in relief camps across Pathanamthitta and arranging food packets for several days.
In Ernakulam meanwhile, Kala Raju, Kudumbashree Community Development Society chairperson of Koothattukulam, has been engaged in cleaning the more isolated homes in Kunnukara, that is on the shore of river Periyar in the district.
"The first day, about 20 of us came in a tempo traveler; second day 33 of us came. The area was still isolated… Once, our vehicle got stuck in the mud and some of us even fell in the slush. But, somehow, we managed to reach," Kala narrates. "But we are content, because we fulfilled our purpose of coming here: we could make the houses livable," she adds.
Kala and team even carried clothes worth Rs 7,000 to give to the families. "They had lost everything, so we kept the clothes with us to give them," she says.
Apart from volunteering, the cleaning drive and collecting and supplying materials for relief camps, Kudumbashree members are also providing counseling for 8,000 flood hit people. According to a recent media statement, Kudumbahsree members had also housed nearly thousands of people in their homes during the deluge.

The Satsang Seva Mission
The Satsang Seva Mission, inspired by Sri M, is an initiative supported by Satsang Foundation to serve humanity.

"An activity that benefits others—feeding the hungry, sharing knowledge with the unknowing, resolving the suffering of others, worshipping the poor, and serving the needy — thinking of them as the very personification of God. One's spiritual purification is realised only through this selfless service. Service is the best way; serve others and do your Sadhana alongside. Both must be combined."

Q: How do I set parts of a file into different variables in Python? For example, I have a text file that looks like this:
Last, First; 83; 73
Random, Name; 80; 90

What I want to know is how do I set variables so it looks like this:
names = ['Last, First', 'Random, Name']
num1 = [83, 73]
num2 = [80, 80]

Edit:
filename = input('Enter the name of the file: ')
f = open(filename)
for data in f:
    for info in data.split(';'):
        print(info)

So, I did that to see if the split would work. It separated them into new lines like this:
Last, First
83
73
Random, Name
80
90

I also tried using zip() but it didn't work.
for name, num1, num2 in zip(data)

A: As long as the data is consistent, you can use the csv module and transpose the data... eg:
import csv

with open('input') as fin:
    scin = csv.reader(fin, delimiter=';', skipinitialspace=True)
    data = zip(*scin)
    header = data[0]
    nums = zip(*data[1:])

print header
# ('Last, First', 'Random, Name')
print vals
# [('83', '73'), ('80', '90')]

Note here that nums[0] is the equivalent of your num1, and nums[1] the equivalent of your num2 etc... as you almost certainly do not need/want separate variables. You may wish to consider converting to an appropriate datatype if a string isn't suitable.

The Belgian Finance Ministry has published the key dates for the phased implementation of the tax cash register system (SCE) in the hotel and catering industry (Horeca) in Belgium in 2015.
The tax cash register system becomes mandatory for all hotel and catering establishments from January 1, 2015.
Employers opting to install the SCE system this year, on a voluntary basis, will benefit from a reduction in employers' contributions for five full-time workers, as well as from a rise in the number of overtime hours qualifying for tax reductions, from 130 to 180 hours.
For all other establishments, Finance Minister Koen Geens intends to allow an "implementation period" of up to one year, during which time employers will not be sanctioned for not using the tax cash register system. This implementation or "administrative tolerance" period ends on January 1, 2016.
The one-year transitional period is designed not only to help employers in the Horeca industry adjust to the changes, but also to enable the new Belgian Government to evaluate the impact of the fiscal measures that have so far been introduced, aimed at supporting the sector, and to introduce additional initiatives if deemed necessary.
The key dates for registering on the system are February 28, 2015, for those applying the SCE from January 1, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2015.

Top 5 Non-Qualifiers of 2016!
The Eurovision semi-finals are a brutal fighting ground, where around 18 acts go in, and only 10 come out. Doesn't sound too bad, considering the math, but it's still always nerve-wracking to watch the votes come in and the final 10 being announced. I'm sure everyone has at least once felt the disappointment or shock when their favourite doesn't qualify, so we're going to continue to look back on contests past to decide our Top 5 non-qualifiers, and today we're starting with 2016!
It was a fan favourite that flopped, and for the longest time after the first semi-final of 2016, everyone was going absolutely nuts that this didn't reach the final. It wasn't my overall favourite of the 2016 contest, hence only being number 5 in this list, however I did still think this would have an easy run to the finals. However saying that, all the songs that made it to the final I also thought the same of, so this is definitely a prime example of how brutal the semi-finals can be. What I thought would impress audiences was the staging of the song, and was hoping the staging could distract from an otherwise quite repetitive song.
Also facing the brutal first semi-final was Finland, represented by the energetic Sandhja. The song was one of our favourites of the 2016 season, and although we had an inkling that this song wouldn't reach the final, especially against such tough competition, we were still pretty sad to see this go. Opening the show was a bit of a rough gig, and the staging was also a bit rough around the edges, but the song itself was super catchy, but it was just not meant to be.
I may have been the only one to love this song, but knew right away that the chances of this making the final was pretty slim. It wasn't my favourite entry to begin with, but seeing it on stage and hearing the live performance made me love this song a whole lot more, and I think they did everything right regarding the staging. To be fair, it wasn't that far off reaching the final, finishing in 13th place, one place above Greta, and two above Sandhja. An unlikely favourite, but sometimes those are the best.
Rewind back a year to 2015, and I was adamant that Anti Social Media would surprise everyone and qualify to the final for Denmark. So when Denmark picked another boyband, chances were that it would fall to the same fate as the song I so loved in the year previous. And guess what, I loved Soldiers of Love too. I hadn't learnt from my mistakes, and thought Denmark had a good chance of qualifying but once again, Europe weren't digging the boy band, despite the impeccable vocals, good looks and catchy melody. Total shame!
Yet another entry from Semi-final 1, which totally demonstrates how rough being drawn into that semi-final really was in 2016. Our number one is Bosnia and Herzegovina for various reasons, including the dramatic nature of the song mixed with the range of vocals from all three vocalists featured in the song. It also had a rap break, and rap breaks are always amazing in my books. We rated the song highly last year, and at that time, really thought Bosnia and Herzegovina would continue their qualifying streak however just missed out, finishing in 11th place. Bonus points for national language, which is always a positive!
So there are our Top 5 Non-Qualifying entries from 2016, and we're going to assume that your Top 5 isn't the same as ours, so make sure to tell us your Top 5 on Twitter or Facebook!

Q: How can I execute a single command as non-root user while the rest of the script runs with root privileges? I have a script that checks if Java version 8 is installed on my system. If not, the script installs it. Also once it makes sure that correct java version is installed it checks if $JAVA_HOME variable is set properly.
I am doing this by adding  JAVA_HOME path to my /etc/environment file.
Everything till here works.
In the next step however, when I try to reload the /etc/environment file using source command, it does not load the new file.
I believe this is due to user running the script. I am running the script as root user. However I need to run source /etc/environment as non-root user and the have rest of the commands run as root.
I have tried sudo with the -u and su with -u -c commands, however this has not worked for me.
Any pointers to how this could be done would be great help.
Thanks

A: I feel that the approach to run an entire script as root except for one specific command that should be run as another user is inherently flawed. I would suggest to do it the other way around: run the script as user, and prefix all the commands inside the script that should run with root privileges with sudo.
This way, you're sure not to accidentally execute any command as root which you could have run as a normal user instead.
Note that the script will still ask for your password only once, since, after the first sudo command, sudo remembers your password for 15 minutes (by default). That is, unless your script runs for more than 15 minutes. Even then, it's possible to increase sudo's default timeout, but that's perhaps beyond the scope of this question.
Of course, it all depends on your situation. There may be situations where doing it the other way around is better: You can also run the script as root and drop root privileges by prefixing the command that should run with the privileges of username with sudo -u username. Also see the comments under this answer for a short discussion of the pros and cons. (Note that said answer itself suggests that it is usually better to run the entire script as root and dropping privileges where needed, instead of running the entire script as user and acquiring root privileges where necessary. I beg to differ. It certainly all depends on your situation. From a security standpoint, the latter approach is safer. But if that is not a concern,  the former approach has some slight advantages from a technical standpoint. See the discussion under the linked answer.)

A strange bunch. We should apparently spend as much as Hearts on the youth team and anything else is pathetic and will see us relegated.
Who cares anyway they all seem to be h*ns.
I would actually consider that our youth set up has been quite successful over the last few years if you consider May, Kerr, Clark, Gordon and Kane.
Anyone any memories of the day?
I loved that game with all its symbols of the late eighties – the inflatables, the abuse of Graeme Souness, the THREE QUID ticket price. Having only known modest crowds at Muirton I was so proud walking with my English mates up into the East Stand at Celtic Park to be a part of that huge gathering of Saints fans. Nine thousand, I think, but certainly the last time so many Saints fans were standing together.
I don't remember too much about the game, just that I expected the worst. Rangers were some team at the time, full of English internationals. I do remember looking at my watch after five minutes and thinking - well at least we've held them out this long.
And then the long drive back south with the harrowing news on the radio. What a sombre day, in the end.
For once he's actually correct in what he's saying. It does reek of pissed off parents that are now lumbered with their kid going off to uni cause they've been deemed not good enough to make it in professional football. Loved the guy saying how can 17 year olds be judged as being good enough. Of course they are, players at that age should be pushing for the first team if they've got talent. None of the current crop are obviously at that level.
Can you imagine tree house tam's reaction if Liam Gordon got released? Suicide watch imo.
30 years ago today that Alex Totten took his part-time side to Celtic Park and held Graeme Souness' Rangers to a 0-0 draw in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup. Believe there were in excess of 10,000 Saints fans there?
In the video clip you can see fans on the trackside at one point when there was a small crush in the Rangers end. There were of course no perimeter fences at Celtic Park thankfully.
I was a young teenager at the time, and recall 9000 Saints fans absolutely packed into that corner, and the whole lot sang for 90 minutes. One of the Sunday papers described the St Johnstone support as raucous, and I remember feeling dead proud once I'd looked up what it meant. Inflatable bananas were all the rage at the football around then and there were a fair few in our end. There was a big Saints flag with a picture of Fred Flinstone, and the words "yabadabadabadoo come on Saintees, give us two" or something.
Stevie Maskrey was unbelievably good that season, and as 7-2 says, if he'd been fit we'd have had a great chance of winning, as rangers were rotten on the day.
The ground was absolutely stowed out, you couldn't move anywhere, and you saw how overcrowded the rangers end was on the highlights. Celtic Park held just over 60,000 at the time, but they gave the attendance as 47,000. The midweek replay was even busier if anything, and was stated as 44,000. Always makes me laugh when Celtic fans get all excited about rangers avoiding paying tax, as they were notorious for lying about attendances back then. Seems funny that they now lie the other way to make the crowd sound bigger.
Out the ground the road alongside the ground was absolutely packed and we had to walk through all the Rangers supporters going in the opposite direction. They were raging. I remember one mob ranting at us "that pay your shitey players wages for a month aye?" and a few other comments when an older Saints fan just leant towards them and said "what was the score lads?"
It's hard to stress how great a result that was for Saints, probably like Arbroath or Alloa playing Celtic in a Scottish Cup semi-final this season and getting a draw. Then back on the bus, news from Hillsborough was coming through and it all felt surreal at the time, hard to take it all in.
I wasn't even born, the first Scottish Cup semi I remember was the 2007 edition.
Still remember at full time, a Celtic fan frothing at the mouth howling abuse at us as we walked back to our bus. No idea how we'd rattled him so badly but it was glorious.
Great to hear the stories from 1989, with some brilliant contributions above.
Had heard that before about folk suspecting there were more fans at the replay despite the crowd being announced as less.
Zorro was sitting right in front of me in the stand that day............I remember wishing all game he wasn't.
Doesn't sound too promising for Beaston if it's full-back areas, plural, and he's also recently played centre-back for the reserves. Hope I'm picking things up wrongly though.
Apparently one coach is a huge bully who is forcing kids out the club, but none of them want to report him incase their kids, who are apparently already victimised and are being released, are "targeted".
We've also got someone claiming Craig Thomson was the next Andy Robertson but was released for being too small, and that Michael Doughty not being kept on after a loan spell is an example of Saints not giving talented players a chance. Doughty currently plays for Swindon in League Two.
Aye. I'm keep tabs on it. They would come across a bit less bitter if they'd actually be prepared to report the bullying incidents.
Anyway they are Sevco fans so don't really give a f*ck tbh.
Who will our next club captain be do we think? Is Liam vice at the moment? Is he still likely to be first pick in the holding role next year?
Really hope not. He's had a good season and has done a job, but we're needing better quality in there as a priority.
Can remember Ando, Wotherspoon and Craig all having the armband at different points, of contracted players. Easton obviously did, and it feels like Davidson has but cant remember when.
Not sure who you go for, Dave Mackay as pretty perfect as he was a leader, and his performances always set a bar for the other players to match. Murray Davidson maybe the best? No idea if hes all that vocal in the dressing room.

ECHR Affirms the French Ban on Burqa and Niqab
On July 1, 2014, Grand Chamber judgment in the case of S.A.S v. France, the European Court of Human Rights held that there had been no violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights, and no violation of Article 9 (right to respect for freedom of thought, conscience and religion). Further, the Court found no violation of Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention combined with Articles 8 or 9.
The case concerned the French law, which was entered into force on April 11, 2011, prohibiting the concealment of one's face in public places. The plaintiff is a French national, who is a practicing Muslim, and she complained that she is no longer allowed to wear the full-face veil in public following the enforcement of the subject law. In her complaint, the plaintiff explained that she is a devout Muslim, and in her submissions, she said that she wore the burqa and niqab in accordance with her religious faith, culture, and personal convictions. She further explained that her aim was not to annoy others in public but to feel at inner peace with herself.
In its final judgment, Grand Chamber emphasized that the preservation of the conditions of "living together" was a legitimate aim for the law at issue, and the ban could be regarded as proportionate considering the policy behind. In explaining in what context such law would be "proportionate," the Court focused on two legitimate aims listed in Article 8 (public safety) and Article 9 (protection of the rights and freedom of others).
The Court recognized that there had been a "continuing interference" with the exercise of the applicant's rights under Articles 8 and 9 since the law forces the applicant either to comply with the ban and thus refrained from dressing in accordance with her religious beliefs or refuse to comply with the ban and face criminal sanctions. In view of the impact of the law on the rights of women who wish to wear the full-face veil for religious reasons, the Court pointed out a blanket ban on the wearing full-face veil designed to conceal one's face could be regarded as proportionate only in the context of general threat to public safety. While the Court was aware that the ban mainly affected certain Muslim women, it nevertheless found no restriction on the freedom to wear in public any item of clothing, which did not have the effect of concealing the full face and that the ban was not expressly based on the religious connotation of the clothing but solely on the fact that that it concealed the face.
Do you agree with the Grand Chamber's judgment? Where do you think we should draw the line between public safety and one's right to exercise religion? Do you think the French ban is discriminatory on its face or as applied? Why do you think the ECHR focused heavily on "general threat to public safety" rather than one's freedom to wear whatever she chooses?

Kiersten Schramek says:
I do not agree with the Grand Chamber's decision. Although I believe that there should be some consideration for the "general threat to public safety," I do think that individual rights and freedoms cannot be ignored.
The Court in its own decision acknowledged a "continuing interference" with the exercise of the applicant's rights under Articles 8 and 9. It recognized an impact on the right to respect private life and the right to thought, conscience and religion. However, the Court chose to focus primarily on general public safety.
To me, this is a case of pure discrimination. This law bans women from wearing their burqa and niqab in public. Not only does this law discriminate against women, it discriminates against Muslim women. Further, I do not see a coherent connection between burqas and threat to public safety.
Concealing one's face may make identifying people more difficult, but there is no reason why a burqa and niqab cannot be part of the identification. However, there is no connection between wearing a burqa and niqab and criminal activity. This law is per se criminalizing all women who choose to wear it. This in it of itself is ludicrous. The Grand Chamber's decision too is therefore erroneous.
Danielle Sullivan says:
I find this Grand Chamber ruling to be particularly troubling. It is sad that in today's day in age, this is such a great concern for public safety and security, many other things, such as rich, cultural traditions are taking a back seat. It is clear that the plaintiff in this case, like so many others similarly situated, are in no way any threat to public safety. The wearing of burqa and niaqb has been a long practiced tradition, which is now being halted. I would have to say that I think that this ban is discriminatory as applied. I really think the French ban with the creation of an exception for religious headdresses.
Although the court found that thee was no restriction on the freedom to wear in public any item of clothing, I am surprised that they did not find a violation of an individual's rights to practice their religion. I would be curious to know why that was not at issue here.

Peter Anderson is a fan of fishing small streams, in fact a big fan. This month he is showing us one he likes to fish and how he gets the most from his time on the water.
1. It's pretty wild. A trek along a bridle path away from the river, then cutting through woodland and undergrowth to find the river. No manicured banks here!
2. It's peaceful. Nobody walks the dog, nobody throws sticks and stones in the water (go to Dovedale in the school holidays for that). It's just you, the birds and the water.
3. It's hard. This isn't for novices. It averages 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep, but it widens to 6 feet and narrows to a mere 2 feet. And the depth drops to well over 5 feet. Unkempt banks and overhanging trees add to the joy... if you can't roll cast, then go home. But it's all worth it when you catch a fish.
4. There are some very big grayling and lots of trout. Unfortunately there are a few stock fish which find their way from adjoining stocked beats and I for one don't like catching 2-3lb stockies in a stream 4 feet wide, but there we go.
The fishing is just absorbing. Chest waders and a wading staff are needed. Get in carefully, sit on the bank, dangle you legs in the water and test the bottom with the staff. It's mainly gravel but there is the odd patch of silt maybe 2 feet deep. Dropping into 2 feet of water to then sink into 2 feet of silt is, well, a bit inconvenient to say the least. So get in safely and stay in as long as possible. There are a couple of places you need to get out, one a hole dropping to over 5 feet deep with a silt bottom, the other where a tree has fallen right across the river and is impassable.
Wade quietly and flick the fly 2-3 rod lengths upstream. I usually use a 7'6" 3 weight. Keep the leader short, I attach 5 feet of 3lb Stroft direct to the end on the fly line. Fish will take the dry, more will come to the nymph. I am a big duo fan but don't use it here, too many opportunities to get caught up on a branch or shrub or (too often) nettles. The fewer hooks there are around, the less the likelihood having this problem, or a tangle come to that. My nymphs will be in sizes 16/18/20 and will have a tungsten bead. Keep it simple, hare's ear or PTN is fine. I use the fly line as a bite indicator, if it jags away it might be the bottom... but it could be a fish. Strike first, ask questions later. And strike if the fly line does anything odd, if it stops, suddenly sinks etc. Don't be depressed if you hook a leaf or some weed, you are spotting what could be takes and reacting properly. Some of my best fish have been what I first thought to be the bottom.
The fish will be in between the weed beds and , importantly, in the deeper water. The outside of bends will be deeper where the water has scoured away the bank and fish will lie here. Variations in depth are vital, a shallow riffle dropping into a deeper pool will hold fish.
For the bigger fish, the slower, deeper pools are where they will be. There are a couple of such pools on this stream. The first is just below the fallen tree. It's tricky, the fish lie close to the branches in the water. The trick is to get the fly as close to the tree as possible without hooking it! If a branch is hooked then it's game over, because you have to go and retrieve the fly. Flies dangling on nylon from a tree branch are a threat to wildlife and must be retrieved if at all possible. No fish is worth the death of a songbird.
The other deep pool is on the outside of a bend with a semi submerged bush, decent flow and a silt bottom, which all combine to make wading, erm, interesting. But what grayling it holds!
So this is my favourite chalkstream. It's about half a mile of joy which takes 3 hours to fish. At the end I clamber out exhausted and blissfully happy and isn't that what this fishing lark is all about?

Q: @ViewChild is undefined I am trying to toggle a @ViewChild element with an *ngIf and then after this, call a native event.
This is my html element, adorned with #audioPlayer so I can extract the element via @ViewChild.
<audio
    #audioPlayer
    *ngIf="conversationIsRunning"
    [src]='activeConversation?.clips[activeConversation.activeClipId].audio.blob'
    (ended)="audioComplete($event)"
    autoplay controls preload="auto" >
</audio>

In my typescript I have the following:
@ViewChild('audioPlayer') audioPlayer;
private conversationIsRunning: boolean;

ngOnInit() {
    this.conversationIsRunning = false;
}

ngOnChanges() {
    console.log("ngOnChanges");
    this.conversationIsRunning = true;
    console.log(this.audioPlayer); // undefined
    this.audioPlayer.nativeElement.play(); // error
}

The error disappears if I remove the *ngIf from the audio element. However I really want this functionality in place where the element is destroyed when I don't need it.
I saw in this answer that you can use a setter on @ViewChild so I implemented that, however to no success...
private privAudioPlayer: ViewContainerRef;
@ViewChild('audioPlayer') set audioPlayer(audioPlayer: ViewContainerRef) {
    this.privAudioPlayer = audioPlayer;
    console.log('audioPlayer set called >> ', audioPlayer, this.privAudioPlayer);
};

...however this always outputs audioPlayer set called >>  undefined undefined
I have also tried splitting the this.conversationIsRunning = true; from its current location and putting into a variety of different ng lifecycle hooks, and then also changing ngOnChanges to other lifecycle hooks as well to no avail.
Do I have to wait until next frame or something? And why does that set audioPlayer mutator recieve undefined?

A: In the first code example, you should use ngAfterViewInit() instead of ngOnChanges().

A: The problem is that as a dynamic element, the element doesn't exist when the component is initialised, so the view child is created with an undefined ElementRef.
There are a few solutions.
If you running Angular 8, you can simply tell it that the element is not static and when it exists the view child will receive the ElementRef:
@ViewChild('audioPlayer', { static: false }) audioPlayer: ElementRef;

Prior to Angular 8, the best way is to place the conditional element in a child component, and pass any required data in as a input parameters:
<app-audio *ngIf="conversationIsRunning"> </app-audio>

with the the child component having a template like:
<audio #audioPlayer [src]='activeConversation?.clips[activeConversation.activeClipId].audio.blob'
(ended)="audioComplete($event)"
autoplay controls preload="auto" >
</audio>

Your event handler would be in the child's code behind, and you could expose a method to be called to play in response to ngChanges in the parent component. You could also publish events if you need to communicate back up to the parent. The element always exists in the child component so the ElementRef will always be valid.
And finally, you could also just toggle the style display property instead. The component always exists in the DOM and the view child will always have a valid ElementRef. Obviously it always uses resources and contributes to load overhead, where you ever display it or not:
<audio
#audioPlayer
[style.display]="conversationIsRunningDisplay()"   [src]='activeConversation?.clips[activeConversation.activeClipId].audio.blob'
(ended)="audioComplete($event)"
autoplay controls preload="auto" >
</audio>

With your code behind being something like:
@ViewChild('audioPlayer') audioPlayer;
private conversationIsRunning: boolean;

ngOnInit() {
    this.conversationIsRunning = false;
}

ngOnChanges() {
    console.log("ngOnChanges");
    this.conversationIsRunning = true;
    console.log(this.audioPlayer); // undefined
    this.audioPlayer.nativeElement.play(); // error
}

public conversationIsRunningDisplay() {
    if (this.conversationIsRunning) {
       return 'block';
    }
    return 'none';
}


Whether you is also planning your first day shuttle to gape a Braves sport or had been going for years, I basically enjoy stumbled on some sizable tips and treasures when attending comely Turner Field.
1) Bring a Subtle Cooler- I will not train you the tactic in which a lot money I basically enjoy saved from bringing my hang snacks to the park over time. I first seen a family with a cooler in 2009, however did not purchase a repeat of it being a tender cooler (one without any laborious shell). So, the first time I offered a cooler that had a laborious shell, handiest to be taught I will also not bring it inside of. I removed the laborious, plastic shell and left it outdoors the stadium. After which enjoy, I offered a tender cooler and had been going to Turner Field with some drinks and snacks surrounded by sizable, ziploc baggage of ice. No alcohol is also introduced into the stadium, nonetheless, I load up with water, soda, and rather a form of snacks and sweet.
2) Incessantly Take a look at on Stubhub- Sooner than you bewitch your tickets throughout the Braves web place or Ticketmaster, ALWAYS overview on Stubhub. I basically enjoy bought seats 6 rows in the lend a hand of home plate on Stubhub for around $ 50 per trace. There are sizable deals in every single place the park, however I basically enjoy repeatedly been eager on sitting appropriate past the dugout on both facet. Seats fall as runt as $ 20 per seat, namely for the length of the middle of the week. On the weekends, it is a long way extra sophisticated to gain a gain, however it is a long way as a minimum rate attempting out.
three) The 755 Membership- In case your trace comes with receive right of entry to to the 755 Membership, originate it a demonstrate overview it out. I could perhaps perhaps dispute that about one-fourth of the tickets I basically enjoy offered through Stubhub enjoy included entrance into the 755 Membership. The gape is de facto comely and likewise you can skills presumably the most intriguing meals that Turner Field has to present. Some of it is a long way extremely costly, however if any meals in the park is rate the noticeable mark up, it is a long way the meals served right here. There are a pair of bars that back an rather a form of menu of blended drinks and the vibe up right here sooner than first pitch is unmatched on the park. It is seemingly you'll perhaps perhaps also skills it quite a bit that you just by no method in actuality originate it to your exact seat! You had been warned.
Four) BATTING PRACTICE- I basically have not visited rather a form of Foremost League Stadiums, however I will not factor in having a smarter likelihood to gain a home inch ball than for the length of batting note at Turner Field. I basically enjoy averaged about 1 ball on every occasion I run. In one batting note session two years ago my family obtained three baseballs (2 homeruns, 1 thrown by a participant). Once extra, when attendance is lower (Monday-Thursday), your chances at getting a ball skyrocket. Bring your glove! Also, players shagging flies will throw an occasional ball, namely to a child, however please enact not bother them on every occasion they field a ball discontinuance to the warning video display. It's annoying to listen to as a fan and it has to be a lot extra annoying to the players.
5) Steer determined of the Solar / Heat- In the event you is also attending a day sport at Turner Field, it'll be sizzling. Atlanta handiest is aware of two temperatures from Would possibly perhaps well furthermore just-September: sizzling and hotter. If fending off direct exposure to solar is mandatory to you and your loved ones, take a seat wherever down the third unhealthy line. Obviously any terrace seating can enjoy protection above, however whereas you bought to can enjoy to be very discontinuance to the motion and peaceable enjoy protection, third unhealthy dugout seats are how to run. The image below provides presumably the most intriguing illustration I will gain of the variation between 1st unhealthy and third unhealthy line.
eight) Parking- You mustn't pay larger than $ 10 to park around Turner Field. My most smartly-appreciated lot is literally right across the road from the stadium. Coming down Hank Aaron Drive, the tall Holiday Inn will be for your left, you continue past the front gates of Turner Field. On the left will be a pair of entrances to a tall lot. Enter any that you just search for has parking on hand and are trying to be charged $ 10. The tons straight in front of the stadium are $ 20 and the walking distance is identical.
9) The Braves Gash Dwelling- If the 755 Membership is just not rather to your style or not included for your trace package, the Gash Dwelling is a sizable change. No special trace required (you can make a selection a standing room trace and peaceable skills a meal or drinks right here) this restaurant / bar provides a differ of meals and drink to skills sooner than or for the length of the sport. They've outdoors seating, as well to indoor, so that you just enact not must omit a pitch of reside motion.
10) Henry Aaron Seats (On the very least as soon as) – As I've previously talked about, you can make a selection tickets less costly for the length of the week. It is seemingly you'll perhaps perhaps furthermore gain them more affordable when children are in college. So, a weekday sport in April, Would possibly perhaps well furthermore just, and September would had been your most intriguing shot to "splurge" on Henry Aaron seats straight in the lend a hand of home plate for an inexpensive designate. I basically enjoy seen them as runt because the $ Forty five-50 differ, you appropriate must overview. Every so incessantly ready till a week or so sooner than the sport is realistic, as costs will launch to fall. The Henry Aaron piece is just not handiest the three rows of cushioned seats so be cautious. Strive to receive one thing inside of the first 15 rows and settle in for an out of the ordinary baseball skills. After I offered Hank Aaron seats, light President Jimmy Carter sat 2 rows in front of me!

Current Research:
Research is carried out under the umbrella of the 'Myeloid Cell Biology' Group (led by Prof. Taylor and Dr. Selinda Orr (Wellcome Trust funded Sir Henry Dale Fellow).
The Myeloid Cell Biology group is interested primarily in macrophages, but also dendritic cells and neutrophils. These cells are phagcocytes, specialised blood cells, which ingest other cells (both microbial and self) as well as foreign particles. Phagocytes have diverse roles during development, host defence, inflammation (mediation and resolution), wound healing, immune surveillance and alteration of the adaptive immune response.
Professional phagocytes are defined by their expression of a diverse array of receptors for recognising invading organisms such as bacteria and fungi, dead and dying cells, abnormal host cells and environmental particles. These receptors are 'opsonic', such as the Fc and complement receptors, and 'non-opsonic', such as the Toll-like receptors, and specific cell surface lectins.
The Myeloid Cell Biology group is primarily interested in fundamental aspects of phagocyte biology, such as the receptors used to recognise pathogens, the signalling molecules involved in the subsequent downstream cellular activation events and fundamental aspects of cell biology such as the regulation of apoptosis or cell renewal. Understanding, how phagocytes respond to specific challenges presents an opportunity to manipulate the behaviour of cells at the very heart of innate and adaptive immunity.
Ongoing Projects are primarily in the areas of:
Macrophage biology in homeostasis and disease
Collaborative and Redundant Roles of C-type Lectin-like Receptors in Anti-Fungal Immunity

Download Book Integrated Natural Resource Management In The Highlands Of Eastern Africa From Concept To Practice Earthscan Studies In Natural Resource Management in PDF format. You can Read Online Integrated Natural Resource Management In The Highlands Of Eastern Africa From Concept To Practice Earthscan Studies In Natural Resource Management here in PDF, EPUB, Mobi or Docx formats.
This book documents a decade of research, methodological innovation, and lessons learned in an eco-regional research-for-development program operating in the eastern African highlands, the African Highlands Initiative (AHI). It does this through reflections of the protagonists themselves—AHI site teams and partners applying action research to development innovation as a means to enhance the impact of their research. The book summarizes the experiences of farmers, research and development workers and policy and decision-makers who have interacted within an innovation system with the common goal of implementing an integrated approach to natural resource management (NRM) in the humid highlands. This book demonstrates the crucial importance of "approach" in shaping the outcomes of research and development, and distils lessons learned on what works, where and why. It is enriched with examples and case studies from five benchmark sites in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, whose variability provides the reader with an in-depth knowledge of the complexities of integrated NRM in agro-ecosystems that play an important role in the rural economy of the region. It is shown that the struggle to achieve sustainable agricultural development in challenging environments is a complex one, and can only be effectively achieved through combined efforts and commitment of individuals and institutions with complementary roles.
The aim of this book is to highlight the role that gender research can play in understanding natural resource management and rural development issues in the Middle East and North Africa region and how hands-on training and mentoring can be used as a capacity enhancement approach. It presents findings of four research teams, working in three countries, Algeria, Lebanon and Morocco. The approach was to build the capacity of national teams through hands-on field research, mentoring and technical support, which is different from traditional training. The chapters present the results of the case studies used as learning platforms for the teams and reflections on this approach. The case studies demonstrate the capacity and skills that the teams have acquired. These teams were multi-disciplinary and included social scientists as well as specialists in water management, livestock production and rangelands and agronomy. The book provides grounded empirical examples for MENA academics, practitioners and development students concerned about ensuring gender-balanced rural development.
Linking Practice and Policy in Eastern Africa.
This book returns to the debates about farmer participation in agricultural R & D, looks to the future, and calls for a major rethink, boosting of knowledge and capacities of farmers' organizations to innovate, strengthening networks and alliances to support and share lessons on farmer-led innovation.

Félix Ganard, parfois appelé Guénard ou Ganair, est un fondeur de cloches, né à Germainvilliers (Haute-Marne) le 24 octobre 1661 et mort avant 1725, actif à Silenrieux (désormais entité de Cerfontaine), au centre de l'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse.

Biographie

Félix Ganard est le cousin germain de François Burel I (Breuvannes vers 1668 - Champigneulles 1735), fondeur de cloches. Ganard est certainement parti assez jeune en Belgique comme apprenti, avec un maître expérimenté, à l'instar de bien d'autres fondeurs de cloches du Bassigny, et s'y est fixé ensuite dans les années 1690.

Félix Ganard épouse Marie-Anne Moriamé (1688-1761), née à Bousignies-sur-Roc (Nord) le 23 avril 1688. Le couple vient s'installer dans les dernières années du siècle à Silenrieux, où il aura dix enfants : six fils et quatre filles, de 1705 à 1717.

Le 12 novembre 1725, sa veuve se porte garante pour Nicolas Chevreson, maitre fondeur à Illoud en Lorraine (Haute-Marne actuellement), qui a fondu la cloche décimale de la paroisse de Rognée (Walcourt) pour le compte du chapitre Saint-Théodard de Thuin, décimateur du lieu. Cet artisan a donc pu reprendre le travail confié à son défunt mari ; ce dernier n'est pas décédé à Silenrieux mais

Production
Félix Ganard travaille principalement dans sa région d'adoption, l'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse : on connaît de lui :
 une cloche en 1700 pour l'église Saint-Rémi de Bérelles (canton de Solre-le-Château, Nord) ;
 deux cloches du carillon d'Ath en 1703 ;
 une cloche à Leernes en 1713 ;
 deux cloches à Pesche  ;
 une cloche à Momignies en 1720.

Un de ses fils, Félix Ganard (Silenrieux 1705-1756), reprend le métier de son père. Il fond au moins quatre fois des cloches :
 en 1737, une cloche pour la communauté de Villers-deux-Églises (Cerfontaine)  ;
 une cloche à Castillon (Walcourt), en collaboration : « pierre gvillemin & felix ganard m'ont fait l'an 1737 », cloche toujours en activité à côté d'une autre de 1551 des Vanden Ghein, de Louvain ;
 en collaboration avec le fondeur Joseph Dechange en 1741, une cloche de Meeffe.
 en 1751, les cloches de la collégiale Saint-Ursmer de Lobbes.
