EMERYVILLE, CA, June 25, 2018 — SCS Global Services (SCS), a leading international third-party certifier of environmental claims, has certified that MillerCoors Milwaukee Brewery and the Global Water Center conform with the requirements of the Alliance for Water Stewardship International Water Stewardship Standard (AWS Standard), the first-ever comprehensive global standard for measuring responsible water stewardship across social, environmental and economic criteria. MillerCoors Milwaukee Brewery and the Global Water Center, a water-focused research, office and collaboration space in Milwaukee, are the first brewery and commercial office building in the world to earn this distinction.
The AWS Standard, which is managed and administered by the Alliance for Water Stewardship, a global membership organization established by unique partnerships between the public and private sector, is the first and only global standard to promote best practice in water stewardship. The collaboration between members like The Nature Conservancy, Pacific Institute and WWF with Coca-Cola, General Mills and Nestle has created an unprecedented platform for collective action toward achieving impactful water stewardship outcomes.
Since its establishment, over 50 organizations globally have registered to certify against the standard with hundreds more utilizing the framework to implement good water stewardship practices at their site. Notably, Nestle Waters recently committed to certifying all of their sites to the AWS Standard by 2025.
Among the Global Water Center's water stewardship accomplishments are improvements to onsite stormwater infrastructure, improved salt application during snow events and use of environmentally friendly parking lot pavement. More than 15 stakeholder groups in the Menomonee River watershed were consulted by both sites. This includes MillerCoors Milwaukee Brewery participation on the board of the Southeast Wisconsin Watersheds Trust.
MillerCoors has increased water efficiency in its brewery operations by employing innovative monitoring and processing systems. The company has implemented a number of measures to monitor and reduce water use, including short term interval controls, shortening rinse durations and cycles, and using waterless lubrication for packaging lines.
SCS Global Services has been a global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability verification, certification, auditing, testing, and standards development for more than three decades. Its programs span a cross-section of industries, recognizing achievements in green building, product manufacturing, food and agriculture, forestry, power generation, retail, and more. In addition to its Emeryville, California, headquarters operation, SCS has affiliate offices in Latin America, Asia/Pacific, Europe and Africa. Its broad network of auditors are experts in their fields, and the company is a trusted partner to many environmental NGOs due to its dedication to quality and professionalism. SCS is a Chartered Benefit Corporation, reflecting its commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices.
Opened in 2013, the Global Water Center (GWC) is a 98,000-sq. ft. (9,104 m2) facility located in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin housing water-centric research, office and collaboration facilities for universities, existing water-related companies and new, emerging water technology companies. With over 45 tenant organizations, the GWC continues to be a magnet for U.S. and foreign dignitaries, global water technology businesses, economic development organizations and students from all levels. The development of the GWC was an important milestone as it established a highly visible headquarter base for The Water Council and a landing pad for organizations to participate in the leading U.S. water technology hub.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) is a global membership-based collaboration. We unite organizations behind our mission: To lead a global network that promotes responsible use of freshwater that is socially and economically beneficial and environmentally sustainable. We achieve this through a global water stewardship system, centered on the International Water Stewardship Standard (the AWS Standard), that drives, recognizes and rewards good water stewardship performance. Our vision is that water users and managers are responsible water stewards, who protect and enhance freshwater resources for people and nature. The AWS Standard provides a globally-applicable framework for major water users to understand their water use and impacts, and to work collaboratively and transparently for sustainable water management within a catchment context.

Having new technology ideas guarantee by the patent provides patent entrepreneur definite protection under the law. A patent substance or agency can explain to you of that patent advent rights. Creativity ideas will be not risk-free by a nice patent in addition to that aren't patentable the used liberally by human being. This may decrease a new invention commercially manufactured value.

Therefore, those institutions may believe inventors uploading inventions all of them to look at invention evident rights from a evident just just like any company nicely required defend their exclusive invention tricks.
Following each invention advice evaluation, a person's company may possibly possibly be with no gage to bear your production idea the right secret aka may instead of refrain during using your ultimate invention plans unless any kind of agreement living in writing is considered completed.

Q: why don't map objects close over their environment? I am surprised that a map object built with eval does not remember its context.  Why is this?  The example below includes a (commented out) workaround (and there are others), but that is not what I am looking for. I am trying to understand why this Python behavior is desirable (if it is).  I realize this is related to a previous question, but I believe my query is different.
def test():
    x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
    names = 'x', 'y', 'z'
    for s in names:
        print(s, repr(s), eval(s))           #expected
    values = map(eval, names)
    #values = list(values)                   #why is this needed?
    print( [str(v) for v in values] )        #surprising NameError

System info: run with CPython 3.8 under Win 10.

A: The issue with your code is not with map, but with the list comprehension you're using to consume the map iterator. A list comprehension creates a function behind the scenes, and uses it to produce the list. However, the anonymous function has its own namespace, and its that namespace that eval is trying to use. That fails, since x, y and z are defined only in the test namespace, and not in the inner function's namespace.
There are a few ways around the issue. You could pass namespaces to eval explicitly, as other answers have suggested. Or you could make the function used by the list comprehension close over the variables you care about, with code like this:
def test():
    x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
    names = 'x', 'y', 'z'
    values = map(eval, names)
    print( [(x, y, z, str(v)) for v in values] ) # anonymous function will be a closure

But by far the best approach is probably to avoid using eval in the first place. It's very precarious to use, and if you're passing it data you can't absolutely trust, it's a massive security risk (since eval will run arbitrary code as long as you can structure it as an expression). For simple expressions like variable names, using dictionary lookups is much better:
def test():
    data = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3}    # use a dictionary, rather than separate variables
    names = 'x', 'y', 'z'

    print([str(data[name]) for name in names])  # either do lookups directly

    values = map(data.get, names)               # or via map
    print([str(v) for v in values])

A: Because eval has no access to the surrounding context. It is a function, that accepts the namespaces that the dynamically executed code will consider global and local. By default, that will be globals() and locals(). The problem is, locals() in map in the list comprehension doesn't contain the variables you have defined.
One solution is to partially apply these arguments:
def test():
    x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
    names = 'x', 'y', 'z'
    for s in names:
        print(s, repr(s), eval(s))
    g, l = globals(), locals()
    values = map(lambda x: eval(x, g, l), names)
    print( [str(v) for v in values] )

And even better solution is to not use eval which you almost certainly do not need to.
Why would map objects close over their environment? That doesn't make sense. What would that even really mean? The function that is being mapped is assumed to have the context it requires, which it normally does, unless you are doing something hackey, like using eval.
Note, Python always uses lexical scoping, and it seems like you assumed it would use dynamic scope. It doesn't. A lot can be said about the relative merits of those two, but it should be enough to note that pretty much all modern languages use lexical scoping. Aside from early Lisps, there is Bash, which in my opinion, is a great example of a bunch of things you want to avoid in any sane language.

Why Are You Waiting in Line at Green Eggs?
There's absolutely no reason to act like a character in Lord of the Flies by battling it out for a table.
By Bryan Buttler· 8/10/2015, 12:00 p.m.
One of the rainy brunch crowds, before the Indego bike installation.
To paraphrase a line from that famous Dr. Seuss book, and in an attempt to keep a rhyme scheme, "I do not like Green Eggs Café. I do not like it; Make it go away."
Why is there a line every single Saturday and Sunday morning that stretches nearly two city blocks to get into the seemingly cherished brunch restaurant on 13th Street in the middle of the Gayborhood?
News flash: It ain't that good.
Several weeks ago, in the midst of a storm that was producing sideways-falling rain, the Sunday brunch crowd, armed with an arsenal of umbrellas, shoved and pushed their way down 13th Street next to Woody's, waiting for a coveted seat at Green Eggs. Once seated, I'm sure they had wait even longer to order a stack of red velvet pancakes that could pass in size as a wedding cake from the half-baked waiter who could honestly not care about any type of service.
I never liked the place to begin with, and I've given it my fair share of tries. Once I ordered a raspberry muffin to go; When I arrived home, I opened the container to find a pastry that was about the size of a large child, sliced in half, filled with whipped cream, and topped with vanilla pudding. This is not a muffin, people: This is hyperglycemia in a box. Seriously, how did this place survive in the middle of the Gayborhood, of all places? We're known for counting calories in bottled water, for crying out loud…
My rule of thumb: I will never, ever wait in a line anywhere in Philadelphia to eat unless it is damn good. This city has some of the most amazing dining establishments, and as a person who loves food, I'm more than privileged to have had some of my best meals of my life here. Even on 13th Street, I can name a countless number of other restaurants that serve a far better meal for brunch or lunch than Green Eggs (anything by Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran, including the to-die for Little Nonna's and Barbuzzo; El Vez; Zavino). There's absolutely no reason to act like a character in Lord of the Flies by battling it out for a table at this place.
Back to that Sunday I was describing earlier: As I approached the intersection of Locust and Broad, a group of four rain-drenched blonde undergraduates approached me.
"Hey!" shouted one of them. "Do you, like, know where that Green Eggs place is?"
"Up a block and one over," I said. "Oh, and, good luck."

Thrush is a degenerative bacterial (Fusobacterium necrophorum) and fungal (Spherophorus neaophorus) infection of the central and collateral grooves of the frog. It is typically caused by standing in moist areas such as very damp, dirty stalls, bedding and/or wet grounds. This bacterium is aggressive and invasive, causing destruction to the frog. If left untreated this can cause destruction to the frog and expose the deeper tissues.


The USGBC is a concensus-based organization that works to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated. It's behind the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system, which is a national benchmark for energy-efficient, green buildings. It's important to be congnizant of the fact that LEED buildings can come in different shades of green, but even the lowest level, or "Certified" buildings, are environmental leaders. David Gottfried is the founder of the USGBC and the World Green Building Council. His career began as a successful real estate developer in Washington D.C., and he had a green epiphany while working on the Environmental Defense Fund's Washington office. His transformation from the developer to the green developer is the primary story of his memoir "Greed to Green." I read an article about Gottfried and thought I would share some of his notable quotes.
Green Yourself First – "the key to the green-building movement is not LEED or technology; it's people. If we're going to green this world we have to green ourselves, and we can't lose sight of that."
Watch Al Gore's Movie – "wake up to the fact that climate change is real and the biggest challenge facing humanity in the short term."
Green Buildings Are A Solution – "buildings consume 70% of the electricity in the US. That's an environmental argument, but from a financial basis green buildings make more money, save expenses and have a higher value."
Get Smart About Your Buildings – "your assets will be devalued if they're energy hogs, water inefficient, or toxic inside."
Green Buildings Are Green Opportunities – "this is about economics. The fastest-growing sector of the building industry, which is a $3 trillion industry globally, is green building."
The article also mentioned Gottfried's personal green standard, which he developed called the "Life Balance Sheet" or "Leed-life." It's a 100-point system with Certified at 60, Silver at 70, Gold at 80, and Platinum at 90+. In the beginning, he only scored a 53, but now he fluctuates between 70 and 84, depending on a variety of factors. I couldn't find the standard online, so I think it is in his book (if only Amazon had a copy!). Good luck, I hope we can all live Platinum LEED-life lives!
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a link to Motto! I included a link to the book on Amazon on my post, but right now, Amazon doesn't have it in stock. I'm wondering if a new version is coming out or if it's gone or what? I'd love to get my hands on a version.


For the Massachusetts island, see Veckatimest Island.
Veckatimest (/vɛkəˈtɪmɪst/) is the third studio album by the American indie rock band Grizzly Bear, released on May 26, 2009, on Warp Records. The album is named after Veckatimest Island, a small island in Dukes County, Massachusetts. Produced by bassist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor, the album entered the US Billboard 200 at #8, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release. By September 2012, the album had sold around 220,000 copies in the US. In 2010. It was awarded a gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 100,000 copies throughout Europe.
The album was also included in the 2011 edition of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The tracks "Cheerleader", "Ready, Able", "I Live with You" and "Foreground" feature the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
A deluxe edition of the album was released on November 2, 2009, in Europe. Along with the twelve original tracks, it contained an exclusive 24 page booklet and a bonus disc of Veckatimest tracks recorded in various locations. Although the release was exclusive to Europe, the bonus tracks were released digitally to the US in the iTunes Store.
The abstract drawing was created by William O'Brien and chosen by Droste, whom he has known since high school. Although the piece was not originally intended to be used as Veckatimest's artwork, O'Brien had been working on it at the same time as Grizzly Bear was working on the record. After contacting O'Brien requesting to use one of his pieces for the new album, Droste received a number of examples to choose from. Initially O'Brien was surprised Droste had chosen that specific piece for the artwork as he felt it had an "awkward placement" to it, but after hearing the album he reconsidered the piece, "it was like this amazing, beautiful thing that happened". Along with Veckatimest, O'Brien also created the artwork for the accompanying singles, and the European bonus disc. Although unclarified, it is most likely that the other artwork for the singles and bonus disc was taken from the same abstract series that spawned the Veckatimest piece as they all have a similar nature.
Many of the album's tracks appear in actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating (2010), acting as the film's primary score. Hoffman noted, "Susan Jacobs the music supervisor threw Grizzly Bear my way. She was like, "You should really listen to them!" I heard their album and I was like, "Definitely!" There was a bunch of music from Grizzly Bear that I used, which fit so nicely."
Instrumental tracks from the album also appear on the film, Blue Valentine (2010), with Grizzly Bear subsequently releasing a soundtrack album to the film, in 2011.
On release, Veckatimest was greeted with widespread critical acclaim, currently holding a score of 85 at the aggregate critic review site, Metacritic. The album is generally viewed by critics as a large step forward for Grizzly Bear in regards to partial genre-blending, musical complexity and experimentation.
Both "While You Wait for the Others" and "Two Weeks" appeared in Pitchfork's Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s, ranking at #334 and #162 respectively. The album was ranked #42 on their list of the decade's top 200 albums. Rhapsody called it the 8th best album of 2009. Official music videos have been produced for "Two Weeks", "While You Wait for the Others" and "Ready, Able". Veckatimest was also voted Stereogum's second best album of 2009.
Veckatimest was well-placed on many "End of the Year" lists, with Rolling Stone placing it at 21st, Spin magazine placing it at 4th and Pitchfork at 6th.

Block Island Wind Farm is the first commercial offshore wind farm in the United States, located  from Block Island, Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The five-turbine, 30 MW project was developed by Deepwater Wind, now Ørsted US Offshore Wind.

Construction began in 2015 and in late summer 2016 five Alstom Haliade 150-6MW turbines were erected. Operations were launched in December 2016. It is the largest project using wind power in Rhode Island.

Design and capacity

Block Island Wind Farm is a project of Deepwater Wind located about  southeast of Block Island. The project is expected to produce more than 125,000 megawatt hours of electricity annually. Power is transmitted from the turbines to the electric grid along a  transmission submarine power cable buried under the ocean floor, making landfall north of Scarborough Beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The structures were designed by Alstom Wind, standing . They can withstand a Category 3 storm. The system connects New Shoreham, Rhode Island to the grid for the first time and allows it to cease using diesel generators. Gulf Island Fabrication was interested in building the foundations.

Permits and funding
The Block Island Wind Farm was conceived as a larger project extending into neighboring Massachusetts to build a $1.5-billion, 385-megawatt wind farm in federal waters. The 100-turbine project could provide 1.3 terawatt-hours (TW·h) of electricity per year – 15 percent of all electricity used in the state. In 2009, the State of Rhode Island designated Deepwater Wind to begin with pilot projects. In that year Deepwater signed an agreement with National Grid to sell the power from the wind farm off Block Island, at an initial price of 24.4¢/kW·h, with a guaranteed 3.5% annual increase.

The permitting process for the project has been highly controversial, with the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (RIPUC) initially rejecting the agreement price with National Grid as being excessive to Rhode Island's electricity rate payers.  However, after the Rhode Island General Assembly and Governor Carcieri changed the state law concerning the "commercial reasonability" of contract pricing, the RIPUC voted to approve the key contract.  After continuing controversy and appeals, the Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled in July 2011 to uphold the RIPUC decision.  Opponents of the project raised issue about the contract pricing with the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in August 2012, but FERC in October of the same year issued a decision that they would not act on the complaint. A total of nine reviews and permits from state federal agencies were acquired, the last in early May 2015.  On May 11, 2015 a new complaint was filed with FERC alleging that the power purchase agreement with National Grid violates the  Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 and further alleging that the RIPUC violated the Federal Power Act and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.  However, Deepwater Wind maintains that there is no support for any of these claims and that FERC should promptly deny the new complaint in its entirety.

While the wind turbines have been built in state waters southeast of Block Island, the transmission cable crosses federal waters in the Atlantic. A portion of the power is supplied directly to Block Island,  off shore from the Rhode Island mainland and had some of the highest power rates in the country due to its local generation by small diesel powered generators.

Deepwater Wind announced March 2015 that it had received funding in the amount of $290 million from mandated lead arrangers Société Générale of Paris, France and KeyBank National Association of Cleveland, Ohio.

The farm design was verified in 2017.

Construction
In late 2014, Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. began steel work construction at its Houma, Louisiana shipyard. The building phase would focus on the turbines' foundations (for platforms) to be pile-anchored to the ocean floor. On June 26, 2015, the first of the five foundations for the project began its move via barge from Louisiana. The turbines will be delivered later in 2015 and erected in place in 2016. Foundation assembly started in ProvPort in March 2016, with estimated commissioning in late 2016. GZA GeoEnvironmental provided the geotechnical design and consulting for the staging facility at the Port of Providence.

The structures, designed by Alstom Wind, stand 600 ft (180 m) high and can withstand a Category 3 storm.[6][7][8] The foundations were designed by Louisiana-based Keystone Engineering Inc. to withstand a 1000-year storm. The foundations' robust strength is the product of meticulous design processes and thorough engineering analysis performed by Keystone. While the four-pile jacket foundation is common for offshore oil and gas platforms, Block Island's jackets are engineered to handle additional loading and vibration from the spinning turbines  Keystone's engineering team ran thousands of test simulations, repeating each calculation multiple times to ensure the design would hold up under various weather conditions and load scenarios. Altogether, nearly 10 million tests were completed.

On March 9, 2015, French company Alstom received  final notication to begin fabrication of five Alstom Haliade 150 6 MW offshore wind turbines. GE Wind Energy acquired Alstom Wind and Haliade production in November 2015. As of July 2016, the site was grid-connected, and towers and LM Wind Power blades were in the port of Providence. The Norwegian installation jack-up vessel was on its way to France to pick up the 400 tonne generators, as it was not able to pick them up from an easier US port due to the Jones Act. A test version of the direct-drive turbine is installed at Østerild Wind Turbine Test Field.

The first turbine was erected in August 2016. On August 18, 2016, Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski announced Block Island Wind Farm was fully constructed. The wind farm commenced commercial operation in December 2016.

Operation
During a major winter storm in March 2017, the turbines functioned as designed, automatically cutting out when the wind speed reached , and after the wind speed had topped out at about , they resumed production again once the speed went below the cut-off threshold.

The project also provided jobs for the state of Rhode Island, employing welders, workers during assembly of the wind turbines, and divers.

Yesterday, December 26, at 21:00 Kyiv time, the LV "Zenit-3SLBF" waslaunched with satellite "Angosat-1" as a payload.
The launch vehicle "Zenit-3SLBF" is one of the modifications of the Zenit LV family developed by the Yuzhnoye Design Office. Produced at YUZHMASH.
This three-stage medium-range missile includes a two-stage Zenit-2SLB LV, modified for launches from the Baikonur cosmodrome, as well as the booster block Fregat-SB.
Angosat-1 is the first Angolan telecommunications satellite to be operated in the geostationary orbit for communications and broadcasting in Angola, as well as other countries in Africa and southern Europe. The weight of the satellite is 1647 kg. Estimated operating time is 15 years.
The peculiarity of the launch was that this rocket stayed at Baikonur for about three years and did not lose its efficiency, which is another confirmation of the reliability of the product. The main indicator is the history of launches, which at Zenit-3SLBF is flawless. Like the previous three launches, the reporting launch is just as successful as the launch as a whole - the satellite Angosat-1 is placed in the calculated orbit.
YUZHMASH also informs the public that the production of the Zenit LV family continues. Right now two products are in active production. Another, under the national telecommunications satellite "Lybid", is waiting for financing.
YUZHMASH wholeheartedly congratulates the staff of the enterprise, the developers of the Zenit launch vehicle from the Yuzhnoye Design Office, the operator of the launch of S7 Sea Launch Limited and numerous partners for cooperation with a successful launch!
We wish to all of us a new successes next year!

Görslövs kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad i Görslöv och Staffanstorps kommun i Skåne. Den tillhör Uppåkra församling i Lunds stift.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Kyrkan härstammar från den romanska tiden. Valven slogs på 1300-talet och senare under medeltiden fick kyrkan ett torn i väster. Kyrkan omtalas i arkivets handlingar första gången 1670. Var först i romansk stil sedan utvidgad mot götisk stil. Den nyare versionen av kyrkan är mer mot götisk övergångsstil.

År 1884-85 undergick kyrkan åtskilliga restaureringsarbeten. Byggmästare var Axel Svensson i Malmö och arkitekt var Salomon Sörensen. Gamla tornet apterades till kyrkan så denna är ett valv större med plats för 180 personer. Ett nytt torn med spira blev uppfört på västra sidan. Den gamla orgeln flyttades till tornet till orgelrummet ovanför vapenrummet. Nytt kor och ny sakristia blev uppfört. Hela kyrkans inre ströks med ljusgrå färg utom valven som var vita, och delades in i kvader med mörkare streck. Korgolvet liggande ett steg högre än kyrkgolvet är lagt med cementmosaik utanför altarringen. Sex nya fönster tillkom och sex fönster blev utvidgade. Nytt altarbord, nya korpallar och nytt altarskrank. De två sista beklädda med purpurfärgad schagg liksom insidan av predikstolen. Altartavlan från 1592 och renoverad 1788 och predikstolen, vilka är rikt skupterade och utförda i renaissancestil, har restaurerats så långt, att den gamla oljefärgen tagits bort, träet har rengjorts och saknade träfragment har ersatts med bitar av gammal ek. Sedan har allt förgyllts. Iforna tavlor med värdelösa intryck har insatts bibelspråk i guld på svart botten. Predikstolen har fått en ny fot och trappa i rennaissancestil. På ömse sidor om altartavlan hängdes draperier av schagg i samma färg som altarskranket. Hela kyrkan var täckt med galvaniserad järnplåt. Den mindre kyrkklockan blev omgjuten och utvidgad av Johan A. Beckman & Co i Stockholm. Arbetet blev avsynat av byggnadskommittén och byggmästaren Christian Mortensen från Malmö 5 november 1885.

År 1885 revs det mesta av gamla tornet och ett helt nytt byggdes utanför dess rester, varigenom kyrkans karaktär förändrades. Även kyrkans absid byggdes om.

Interiört finns målningar av Svante Thulin från 1900-talets början.

Inventarier
Både altaruppsatsen och predikstolen dateras till 1500-talet.

En romansk dopfunt av sandsten från kyrkan förvaras idag på Lunds universitets historiska museum [ (Bild)].

Orgel
1854 byggde Jöns Olsson Lundahl, Malmö en orgel med 8 stämmor. Orgeln stämdes om av sonen Anders Victor Lundahl, Malmö, i samband med restaureringen av kyrkan 1885.
1911 byggde Olof Hammarberg, Göteborg en orgel med 14 stämmor.
Den nuvarande orgeln byggdes 1970 av J. Künkels Orgelverkstad AB, Lund och är en mekanisk orgel.

A laughing thug walked free from court after he battered a man in a drunken rage and threatened to stab him as he sat on the toilet.
James Carter, 28, barged into Christopher Wakelin's bathroom and repeatedly punched him in the face in a row over his ex-girlfriend.
Mr Wakelin needed stitches to his head and suffered a bloody nose in the "brutal and vicious attack" at his home in Kingsbury, Staffs.
Carter, of Atherstone, Warks., admitted actual bodily harm at Warwick Crown Court and was handed a 16 month sentence suspended for two years.
He was also ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work, pay Mr Wakelin £250 compensation and £340 court costs.
Judge Sarah Buckingham told him: "Your behaviour was appalling.
"He was using the lavatory, and could not have been more vulnerable, in his own home when you burst in and carried out a sustained assault on him. It was brutal and vicious.
"But as soon as you began to sober up you immediately showed remorse and you have begun to address your alcohol consumption.
The court heard Carter had downed two litres of cider before storming round to Mr Wakelin's home at lunchtime on January 31.
He was heard shouting: "I don't give a f***. Where is he?" before barging into the bathroom where Mr Wakelin was on the toilet.
Prosecutor Rachel Pennington said: "The bathroom door was not locked, and the defendant came in and, without warning, punched him to the left eyebrow, causing him to fall to the floor.
"As he got up, he was punched again, which sent him into the bath. His head went into the tiles and caused his head to split open.
Mr Wakelin managed to scramble outside but Carter caught up with him and dragged him back into the flat before headbutting him and threatening to hurl him out the window.
Mr Wakelin's friend call police and Carter was arrested at the scene.
In a victim impact statement, Mr Wakelin said he believed Carter attacked him because he was friends with his ex-girlfriend.
The court heard Carter has a string of convictions, including two for battery.
Tim Harrington, defending, said: "He had been told, rightly or wrongly, that the victim had been making inappropriate comments.

Supporting the Scouts
We're very proud of our charity and community work here at Packington, and none more so than that of supporting the Scouts at our Patshull Park estate.
The first Scout camp on the Patshull estate took place in 1912, with the current location of the campsite formalised in 1946 when Wolverhampton Scouts negotiated a lease with the Earl of Dartmouth. Read the full History here.
Following the Earl's death in 1958, the lease moved over with the The Crown Estate and the Scouts were given notice when the estate was put up for sale.
In 2020, the Mercer family bought the estate and not only approved a new lease, so the Scouts could stay on their historical site, but also gave a financial donation. This meant they could carry out some essential maintenance to the accommodation building, resulting in a new roof, windows, and doors throughout.
With the security of the new lease and added funds, the Group were in a position where they could get back to applying for more funding for the charity. This has enabled the group to renovate the 1800's lake that surrounds monkey island – involving the removal of around 1000+ tonnes of silt, renovation of a sandstone wall and re-shaping the lake. This renovation means an improved lake for kayaking and other water activities.
The funding and lease have been instrumental in helping the group to improve the range of activities on offer. Developing crate stacking, gladiator challenge, Jacobs ladder and a zip line. All of these are a great encouragement for groups to choose their site and they are also able to now offer these facilities to a wider audience of youth organisations, to not only benefit the Scouts, but other youth-based groups such as; Boys Brigade, Cadets, Guides, Church Groups etc.
Quote from Joe at the Scouts
"Since the Mercer family became the new owners of the estate in 2020, quite honestly, there has been a real buzz about things! They seem so invested in its development which is evident from the progress over the last 2 years, which far surpasses that which me and our volunteers have seen over the last 50+ years prior to this new ownership."
We are thrilled here at Packington that we've been able to help support the Scouts, enabling them to stay at a site that has huge historical value to them, but also to help widen that facility to other groups as well. We hope to continue to build on this relationship as well as supporting other charities for the benefit of local communities going forward.

Banner (English banner - flag banner) - graphic advertising. Banners are placed to attract customers or to create a positive image.
The word "banner" usually means a fabric cloth of rectangular shape of the information or advertising content. In the business environment, its synonyms are the banners, placards. All these products are effective tools for outdoor advertising and are produced by large-format printing. The basic material for their manufacture are cast thick PVC film, often called for preemptive use of banner cloth. For tasks such as design of buildings, stands, events are often replaced by cloth banner mesh, which facilitates the overall weight of the structure and eliminates the effect of sail.
• Banner - one of the predominant formats of online advertising. It is a graphical representation, similar to the advertising module in the press, but it cannot hold an animated (rare video) elements, as well as being a hyperlink to the advertiser's site or a page with more information.
There are three types of banners: static and dynamic, on click. Static banners are placed on a certain date. In this case, the advertiser buys a specific location on the site. More often than static banners can be found on the regional web portals. Therefore, choosing the dynamics, the advertiser pays for the number of hits on a person. Dynamic banners are used, both regional and federal portals. By clicking the advertiser pays per click specifically, that go to his site. An example is PPC advertising.
Species differ in the type of banner graphic on the website: Each type of banner is a graphic image in GIF or JPEG. The image on them can be static (or fixed) and animated (GIF format motion effect is achieved by interleaving multiple images).
Self-adhesive tape - vinyl or other plastic film with a decorative design (pattern, color, texture) on one side and adhesive on the other side.
To protect the adhesive from dust and damage until it is closed using glossy paper-based (on the reverse sides of which are usually dimensional labels and instructions for use).
When installing the mark applied to the paper surface after the cutting surface of the paper is removed and the film is transferred to the desired surface. Most of the films allows for peeling immediately after installation to eliminate errors.
It is used for decoration and interior decoration in the production of advertising.
Poster (ad poster) - catchy, as a rule, large-format, image, accompanied by brief text, made in promotional, advertising, informational or educational purposes. (In another sense - a kind of graphic). In the modern poster design is perceived as a "flattened into a clear visual message to the formula, designed for contemporary findings and actions." This formula reflects a level of graphic design and provides information on the subject of communication.
The special features of the genre include the following: the poster should be visible at a distance, to be clear and well understood the audience. In the poster art is often used metaphor, various scale shapes, images of events occurring at different times and in different locations to mark the contour of objects. For text, it is important font, layout, color. In posters photo is also in conjunction with drawing and painting.
Canvas - in the fine arts - the fabric on which paint pictures.
In traditional cultures - hemp or linen fabric with a plain (ie, perpendicular to the alternating laps in one thread) interlacing yarns. Canvas of hemp, which has a yellowish color, was more common in central Russia, as the hemp grew best under difficult environmental conditions. It is usually thicker and coarser silvery linen canvas, but has a higher wear resistance. The people wove linen of different quality grades: for thin ritual towels, holiday or work clothes. Many of the peoples of Russia, he had a width of 36-38 cm, which is determined by the possibilities of weaving machines in the home. This size was a kind of module for the cutting elements of traditional folk costumes (the frame, sides, sleeves, etc.).

'''Camila O'Gorman''' (1828-1848) was a wealthy socialite and figure of scandal in 19th century Argentina. Her execution during the last stages of pregnancy caused an international uproar and contributed to the political demise of Argentine governor Juan Manuel de Rosas.
Camila was born in Buenos Aires, the youngest daughter of Adolfo O'Gorman and his wife, Joaquina Ximenez Pinto (d.1852). She was the second-to-last of six children in an upper class family of mixed Irish, French, and Spanish descent. Typical of powerful families in Argentina's post-colonial era, two of her brothers went on to pursue respectable careers. One was as an ordained a priest of the Jesuit Order, and the other as police officer and the eventual founder of the Buenos Aires Police Academy. Camila was considered a pillar of polite society, frequently dancing at formal balls at the Presidential Palace. She was also a close friend and confidante of Rosas' daughter.
In her late teens, Camila was introduced to Father Ladislao Gutierrez, a Jesuit priest who had attended seminary with her brother. Father Gutierrez came from a similar background; his uncle was the Provincial Governor of Tucuman. He had been assigned as the O'Gorman family's parish priest and was soon being frequently invited to her family's estate. They soon began a clandestine affair.
In 1847 Camila and Fr. Gutierrez eloped on horseback and found refuge in Corrientes Province, which was then under the control of a Leftist warlord hostile to the regime of Juan Manuel de Rosas. As the scandal broke, the supporters of Rosas suggested that she had been kidnapped. Rosas' exiled political opponents, including future President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, declared that Rosas' tyranny was responsible for the moral corruption of Argentine womanhood.
Arrest and execution
They were tracked down and arrested by an Irish priest named Fr. Michael Gannon. To the shock and horror of all following the story, Camila claimed that it had been she who had initiated the affair and insisted on their elopement, angrily denying rumors that she had been raped.
On the orders of Governor Rosas, Camila O'Gorman and Fr. Gutierrez were executed by a firing squad on 18 August 1848 in the prison town of Santos Lugares de Rosas . Camila O'Gorman was twenty years old and was eight-months pregnant with the illegitimate child of Father Ladislao Gutierrez.
In the aftermath of their deaths, Sarmiento and his fellow Unitario propagandists changed tactic, writing about "the beautiful girl," "the doomed couple," and "the repression of love".
1910 - ''Camila O'Gorman, directed by Mario Gallo and starring Blanca Podesta in the title role. It was one of the first feature films made in Argentina, and is now lost.
1984 - Camila'', directed by Maria Luisa Bemberg and starring Susu Pecoraro in the title role, with Imanol Arias and Hector Alterio. It was Argentina's second nomination ever to an Academy Award (the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film).

A Field in Fife
I like maps, because they lie.
Because they give no access to the vicious truth.
they spread before me a world
not of this world.
There are only shadows here
A Field in England (Dir. Ben Wheatley)
The commuters scurrying down the stairs at Rosyth Halt railway station, are unlikely to give much thought, if any, to the field on their left as they descend to the platform below. Some may notice subtle changes in colour throughout the year. The recent appearance of yellow broom blossom; the overhead sun creating a dappled patchwork of greens, sandy browns and heathery purple. In a few weeks, the hawthorn blossom will sit like scented snow on the ancient hedge.
Standing at a certain part of the station platform, it is possible to hear the gentle purr of the Whinny Burn tracing its route through the field on its way to the River Forth at Inverkeithing Bay. Magpies, rooks and collared doves appear to take a curious interest in the arrivals and departures of station commuters whilst overhead, the sun splinters around the extended wings of a buzzard soaring like Icarus ever higher into the blue.
The field is now bounded on all sides by motorway, dual carriageway and the railway line. A severed island of abandoned agricultural land cast adrift with no easy public access. At the top of the halt steps, there are no particularly distinguishing visual features as we look over the land which we are going to walk through. As a train arrives at the platform below, a late flurry of commuters hurl themselves past us and down the stairs to squeeze into the carriages before the doors close. Most are unlikely to be aware that there may be as many as 2,000 bodies buried somewhere in the vicinity.
The fields between the railway and the A823 (were) where the last and bloodiest part of the battle took place … it is likely to be where the majority of the killing took place. (Historic Scotland).
it is said that the burn ran red with blood for three days.
The casualties on the Scots side were certainly heavy. Most sources agree that about 2,000 were killed and around 1,500 taken prisoner, although various figures are reported for the casualties of the Highland regiments. Cromwell in his letter immediately after the battle reported at least two thousand dead.
It was during the night or early morning of 16th /17th July 1651 that the troops of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army landed on the north shore of the Forth in the vicinity of Inverkeithing Bay. Whilst they had inflicted a heavy defeat on the Scottish army at Dunbar on 3rd September 1650, they had been thwarted by attempts to advance further into Scotland. Cromwell came to the conclusion that Fife was the key and by 20th July, 4,500 of Cromwell's Parliamentarian force were dug in on Ferry Hills, whilst a Scottish force of a similar size had grouped at Castland Hill. The threat of Scottish reinforcements coming from Stirling provoked Cromwell's Parliamentarians to attack and force the Scottish infantry to retreat north towards Pitreavie Castle. On land close to Pitreavie Castle, the Scottish infantry made a final stand but were soon overwhelmed by the more experienced Parliamentarians who had the additional advantage of cavalry. The Scots suffered heavy losses. This became known as The Battle of Inverkeithing (sometimes The Battle of Pitreavie) and was the last major battle of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in Scotland. From 1652, Scotland was wholly under control of Cromwell's Protectorate.
Entering the field is not too difficult. Not far from the station steps there is a locked gate but a little further along we find a gap in the hedgerow. If you are prepared to navigate or slide down a steep slope, this will deposit you amongst the discarded plastic bottles and assorted rubbish tossed from the stairs above. At ground level, the topography of the field is much more apparent. Pronounced undulations ahead of us, sloping off to the right towards marshy ground around the Whinny Burn. Ground cover is a mix of meadow type grasses, whin bushes, dandelions and what look like dock leaf plants gone to seed.
You only have to look towards the perimeter of the field to be aware that you are surrounded by human presence. The rooftops of Rosyth to the right and the hum of motorway traffic a constant low-level signal. Yet on the actual land we are walking, it is rare to find an almost complete lack of evidence that humans have recently passed. No litter, no discarded cans or bottles or burnt out barbecues. There are hints of desire lines traversing the space, perhaps made by committed dog walkers or something else. It is only as we move further into the field, that there is a clear sense that we are being watched.
At first, we wonder if it is a dog but it soon becomes apparent that it is the eyes of a tiny roe deer that are fixed on our movements. We are both probably equally surprised to encounter each other. This is not an area where you would typically expect to see deer. Where on earth has it come from? We lock into that non-time state of reciprocal, motionless, staring. Eventually the deer decides to break for it. Great elongated leaps for something so small; as if bouncing off the air itself, not really touching the ground. I manage to retrieve the camera and fire off some random shots in the hope that we obtain some record of this actually having happened.
as if bouncing off the air itself
We notice our presence is also alarming a number of skylarks which appear to have made the field their own. Their nervous, vertical flight and fluted song a mix of terror and beauty as we try to avoid what must be their nesting areas.
The field separates in two at a ridge of hawthorn bushes. On the other side:
to new horizons
A field of time
history layered
on geography.
Transparent globes
of wind held tension
time scattered
yellow flowerings
of the eternal return
The field eventually tapers to a point where we can go no further, blocked off by the railway and the smooth, solid concrete structure carrying the A823 motorway spur.
We know that beyond the A823 another field will take us to a concrete flyover of the M90 motorway. We work out a way to access the field and head off on a detour. Our serendipitous findings are recorded in a separate blog: Cartographies of Chance – Underneath the M90 (II).
Returning to the field, we walk close to the northern perimeter with only a thin hedgerow between us and the A823. Such a slight threshold separating us from our field of time, skylarks and deer. On the other side, the surveillance cameras, crash barriers, lay-bys and signs – all the material apparatus of the modern motorway.
We are quite surprised to come across a footbridge over the motorway that enters the field only to stop at a complete dead-end. The proximity of this easier access results in the usual heaps of fly tipping, something that is hard to understand. It must be much more difficult to dump this stuff here than take it to the municipal waste recycling.
Place and non-place are rather like opposed polarities: the first is never completely erased, the second never totally completed . . . But non-places are the real measure of our time.
The footbridge takes us over the A823, (Why does an empty motorway always evoke a Ballardian descriptor?) and into the relatively new 'non-place' of Carnegie Campus. We know from the old maps and records that this land was also once part of 'the field'. Being a Sunday, the 'campus' is completely deserted as we wander amongst the new build office blocks, many of which still look unoccupied. Roundabouts appear to have been built in hope of a time still to come as roads come to an abrupt end. Rab's Little Kitchen snack van is closed.
Where the manicured non-space runs out, an explosive wild bouquet of whin sits amongst a covering of red campion:
And yet amongst all the shiny new sheen of this place, older voices intrude. A hexagonal brick structure whose original purpose is unclear:
time stacked textures
brick and concrete
Nestled in at the side of the main road into the campus we come across the cairn. As far as we are aware it is the only explicit acknowledgement of what happened on this land.
the Scots were driven back to the level ground between Hillfield and Pitreavie. Here, in one of the most famous episodes of the Battle of Inverkeithing, the Clan Maclean of Mull regiment, commanded by their chief, Sir Hector, found themselves surrounded by superior enemy forces. The clansmen fought fiercely in defence of their chief, calling out, "Fear eile airson Eachainn!" (Another for Hector!), as they sacrificed themselves.
The battle involved musketry, cavalry, pikes, swords and even archery on the Scottish side, with considerable hand to hand fighting
Near here, Sir Hector MacLean of Duart was killed
at the Battle of Inverkeithing
along with some 760 of his men
"Another for Hector"
Nearby to the cairn, stands another material presence in the layered history of the field. Peering over a substantial stone wall allows us a view of the Dovecot in the grounds of Pitreavie Castle.
Pitreavie Castle was originally built in the early 17th century by Henry Wardlaw of Balmule, later Sir Henry Wardlaw, 1st Baronet of Pitreavie. Wardlaw was Chamberlain to Queen Anne, wife of James VI of Scotland.
The Battle of Inverkeithing/Pitreavie was fought nearby on 20 July 1651, between an English force commanded by Colonel Robert Overton and a Scottish force, including some 800 Highlanders from the Clan Maclean. After the battle, which was a decisive victory for the Cromwellian forces (contemporary reports speak of 2,000 Scots killed and 1,600 captured, all for the loss of 8 of Overton's troops), a group of Macleans sought refuge in Pitreavie Castle. The Wardlaw family refused them sanctuary and the Macleans were likely to have been captured or killed.
The Maclean dead … are more likely to have been buried in a mass grave.
We pass the old dovecot of the castle, turn left and past the front door where the initials of Henry Beveridge are recorded. Beveridge purchased the Castle in 1883 and extensively remodelled it in 1885.
Henry Beveridge was a wealthy mill-owner, philanthropist and educator from Dunfermline. He was an associate of Patrick Geddes having attended Geddes's summer meetings in Edinburgh. He subsequently became one of the Directors of Geddes's Edinburgh Town and Gown Association in 1896. As a member of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, Beveridge was also partly responsible for arguably Geddes's greatest work – City Development: a study of parks, gardens and culture institutes. A report to the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust. Geddes also introduced Beveridge to the artists John Duncan and Charles Mackie who painted murals in the castle illustrating the legend of Orpheus and Sir Patrick Spens.
International Studio, 1897
It is believed that these murals may now be at best over-painted and at worst destroyed. A good example of John Duncan's Symbolist style can be seen in his famous work, The Riders of the Sidhe:
John Duncan The Riders of the Sidhe; Dundee Art Galleries and Museums Collection
As noted above, Henry Wardlaw's granddaughter-in-law, Elizabeth Wardlaw, is claimed to be the author of Sir Patrick Spens. (Although the evidence appears somewhat tenuous).
"The king sits in Dunfermline toune
drinking the blude reid wine,
"O whar will I get a guid sailor,
To sail this schip of mine?"
Walking past Pitreavie Castle today, it has now been converted into flats and apartments and offers no clue as to another more recent past life. It was bought by the Ministry of Defence in 1938 and after the second world war, deep in a basement bunker became the headquarters of NATO's Northern Maritime Region. During the Cold War, all Soviet ships and submarines on exercise in the North Sea were monitored from here. The base closed in 1996 and operations moved to RAF Kinloss. There is little or no outward trace of this today, although some photographs of its past life exist:
Access to the underground bunker

The teleprinter room 1944
As we head along Castle Drive, we notice that a small housing estate has a story hidden in the street names:
Covenanters Rise: The Scottish army was a Covenanter army, acting under allegiance to Charles II.
MacLean Walk: the aforementioned Sir Hector Maclean of Duart, commander of the Scottish Highland infantry.
Sir John Brown Place: Sir John Brown, commander of the Scottish lowland infantry.
Overton Crescent: – Colonel Robert Overton led the assault party of New Model Army troops that landed in Fife on the night of 16th/17th July.
Our final part of the walk will take us along Castle Drive where we will loop around to bring us back to where we entered the field. Despite the changes over the centuries, we have walked the area of the field as it was in 1657. We continue to ponder our mysterious encounter with the roe deer. Perhaps a manifestation of "only shadows here"?
Four days after the Battle, Cromwell crossed to Fife in person. For him the victory was "an unspeakable mercy".
As we walk down Castle Drive we pass another new addition to the landscape on the left. A customer contact centre for Rupert Murdoch's Sky empire.
On the other side of the road, a magpie picks at the carcass of a dead squirrel.

Haunting and very interesting photo-essay presenting layers of landscape, society and history. Thank you, I very much enjoyed reading.

Many thanks Fiona. Glad you enjoyed it.
Pingback: A Field in Fife | ¯_(ツ)_/¯
A spectacular and terrifying journey. I feel a type of honor and pity, retracing those bloody footsteps with you. I can just hear the screams and feel the thunder of hooves – thanks so much!
Thanks Aubrey. It is strange to walk over the land where this happened and also see how it has adapted and transformed into something else. Perhaps the deer and skylarks offer some form of redemption?
ronnie russell says:
I work in large building next to the cairn, deer play here every day, there are 2 bunkers from ww2
I live 10.minutes from here and had no idea. I'll be sure to take the walk myself. Thank you
Paul Ecclestone says:
Very interesting,never had a clue about that land up at the halt railway station,well you learn something new everyday ,good reading,,
H Clark says:
As a local I have walked these fields with my dog many times. The footbridge you mention with the dead end that leads to Carnegie Campus was built to allow the farmer access to his fields from the farm at Masterson and was constructed when the motorway was built. The fields were planted with crops until a few years ago. Part of the land almost directly below the footbridge onto the platform at the railway station used to be allotments. Where the car park is now was also allotments. The land was owned by the railway.
From Hill to Sea says:
Thanks very much for the local information and particularly about the allotments.

The Top 5 Konbini Countdown: Part 2
Where do you stand in the FamilyMart vs. 7-Eleven debate? There's a new #1 in our top 5 konbini for 2017
By Victoria Vlisides Jun 16, 2017 5 min read
The "konbini life" is a slippery slope.
You know, when your existence basically depends on what you buy at a konbini, the common term for the ever-present Japanese convenience stores lingering on every corner. According to an April Reuters wire service article, Japan had 54,000 of these chain stores nationwide — with nearly 20,000 of those being 7-Elevens.
The konbini life starts with your innocent casual encounters. You need an iced coffee and a snack? The konbini's got you. Worked late and looking for a quick meal? No problem, the konbini is there for you. Suddenly, one day you wake up, put on your 7-Eleven skin-care products (yes, those exist), pour yourself some Family Mart orange juice, cook up some Lawson's eggs, and when on your way to work — oh, why not? — grab a Mini-Stop coffee and something for lunch.
Whether you're in full-fledged konbini dependency or just a light user, Japan-dwellers always seem to have an allegiance for a certain brand.
Like unwrapping an onigiri, fast and easy, you're living the konbini life. Though we have warned against the dangers of this lifestyle for both your wallet and belly — the term is actually gaining popularity. Last year, there was even a choose-your-own-adventure-type visual novel called KonbiniLife that popped up.
Are you a fan of a certain brand of konbini food?
Whether you've decended into full-fledged konbini dependency or just a light user, Japan-dwellers always seem to have an allegiance to a certain brand. We offered a list of our Top 5 convenience stores in Japan a few years ago, but it's time to revisit our stance.
We took a quick poll of where our staff stands on this issue and the results were, well, impassioned. Comments escalated from, "Whatever happened to 'Am/Pm?'" (bought out by Family Mart in 2009) to "Daily Yamazaki and Mini-Stop are the worst!"
So enough with the small talk — here are our five favorite convenience stores in 2017 (in descending order).
5. Mini-Stop: Sweet, sweet relief
Mini-Stop was a controversial one, but ultimately, its place in the top five is due to its superb ice cream selection. We recommend the Belgian chocolate. In general, the soft-serve ice cream here is a game-changer as is its selection of various limited-time sweets (Please bring back those caramel parfaits!).
Perhaps because it's not quite as popular as our top 3, it seems like most stores have more space to chill and eat or read a magazine before you go about your business (or pleasure).
4. Seico Mart: The underdog
You might be saying, "Wait, what?" Seico Mart might not be on your radar, but here's why it should be. It's basically the ojii-san (grandpa) of the konbini as its the oldest brand in Japan. Many of its products are cooked fresh on site. For example, its "Hot Chef" (ooh, la la) line includes a croissant made from ingredients imported from France and baked on premises.
The reason you may not have heard of this one is that it's only located in select prefectures, with the closest one to Tokyo city being in Saitama.
3. Lawson: Triple threat
Lawson fell short of our top 2 because many just don't seem to have strong feelings about it one way or the other. It is still a powerhouse for some of its select foods and products.
They have some unique choices for chicken. The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) are bigger and juicier than even the finest grocery store skewers. Its "Karaage-kun" deep-fried chicken nuggets are a perennial crowd pleaser — especially when the limited edition varieties, like yuzu or mentaiko (fish roe), hit the heat racks.
Another plus is its "Machi-cafe" selection of coffee, snacks and sweets — specifically (for our group, anyway) the banana muffins and matcha cookies. Surprisingly (or not), its sister Lawson 100 and Natural Lawson shops are a great place to look for fresh produce.
2. FamilyMart: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride
FamilyMart — or FamiMa, as the cool kids call it — is great for baked goods and sweets. Beyond the Family Mart bread and cookies, it carries a weird brand of biscuit-and-chocolate hybrid called "Every Burger." By eating it, you can get just as many calories as a cheeseburger by instead eating a plethora of cute cheese-burger-shaped sandwich cookies. Oh… Japan.
Family Mart is also good for those yen-savers out there, with its convenient point card, the T-Point Card. And, the fact that some Japanese banks don't charge a service fee if you grab cash from one of its ATMs. Yeah, we know Lawson and 7-Eleven also have point cards, but does anyone really use those?
1. 7-Eleven: Old Faithful
Originality counts.
7 makes some solid stuff across the board with its "Premium" and "Gold" products. These osozai (prepared food) products range from baked goods to soups to onigiri (best tuna-mayo ones, hands down!) to hot reheatable meals. And, it's all good in our book.
The Seven Caffe, with easy-to-use machines that quickly dispense richly robust, fresh-brewed morning coffee for ¥100-¥150 apiece, is another strong point for caffeine addicts. If you're in need of a quick bite, we're quite fond of 7's egg salad sandwich and its mango ice cream.
Last — perhaps more importantly for expats — it's a convenient place for those needing to withdraw cash. Its bank machines (and 7-i Bank) accept all the big cards including ones issued overseas.
Do you agree with this list? What do you think is the best Japanese convenience store and why?

But I like family mart says:
Don't forget the wifi at seven eleven!
Vv says:
Most stores have them, although they all do not! What's more is that the iced coffee from those machines certainly tastes different from different stores… In my opinion, anyways!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂 It's hard to find it in other places, right? That… gas station convenience store life just doesn't have the same ring to it!

Q: C mxe linking fails: ld cannot find symbols trying to cross-compile TranscriberAG with MXE, I'm stuck on a problem I don't understand.
I managed to reproduce the problem on a tiny file:
#include <dlfcn.h>

int test() {
   dlopen("test", RTLD_LAZY);
}

I compile it with:
/path/to/mxe/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32.static-g++  -o test_dl.obj -c test_dl.cpp
/path/to/mxe/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32.static-ar cr test_dl.a test_dl.obj

(of course, these commands are generated by CMake, I cannot just change them simply). It fails with:
test_dl.a(test_dl.obj):test_dl.cpp:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `_dlopen(char const*, int)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have installed dlfcn in mxe. If I try a similar command with my native (Debian/Sid) compiler:
g++  -o test_dl.obj -c test_dl.cpp -fPIC
ar cr test_dl.a test_dl.obj
g++  -shared -o test_dl.dll -Wl,--whole-archive test_dl.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -ldl

it works well...

A: It's looks like the dlfcn.h header doesn't have function prototypes wrapped in a extern "C" block so it doesn't get compiled correctly with C++.
Make sure the dlfcn-win32 library that you're using is up to date (the extern "C" wrapper was added to dlfcn.h in January).


A great car and a great value! All of the following features are included: power door mirrors, power windows, and air conditioning. Under the hood you'll find a 4 cylinder engine with more than 150 horsepower, and for added security, dynamic Stability Control supplements the drivetrain.
